  • Patent number: 9831508
    Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus includes a valve element provided with a flow passage allowing a fuel to flow therethrough, a valve seat which the valve element will contact with or separate from, and a casing accommodating therein the valve element and the valve seat. During valve opening in which the valve element is separated from the valve seat, the fuel flowing through the flow passage is discharged through a gap between the valve element and the valve seat. A direction in which the valve seat is placed relative to the valve element is the same as a direction of the fuel flowing in the flow passage. The fuel injection apparatus further includes a discharge-side flow passage in which the fuel to be discharged during valve opening is allowed flow. The discharge-side flow passage is formed outside an outer peripheral portion of the valve seat.

  • Patent number: 9784228
    Abstract: A fuel supply apparatus includes a valve seat, a valve element, and a sealing member formed of a circular-disc or annular shape placed in the valve element to face the valve seat. The valve element includes an outside facing surface corresponding to a surface facing the valve seat and formed more outside than the sealing member in a radial direction thereof. The sealing member includes an annular protrusion protruding toward the valve seat more than the outside facing surface, and a flat portion formed between the outside facing surface and an distal end of the protrusion on a side toward the valve seat in a central axis direction of the sealing member so that the flat portion will contact with the valve seat during valve closing.

  • Patent number: 9692065
    Abstract: A hydrogen supply unit is provided with an inflow block having an inflow passage for hydrogen gas, an outflow block having an outflow passage for hydrogen gas, injectors for adjusting a flow rate and a pressure of hydrogen gas, a secondary pressure sensor for detecting hydrogen gas pressure in the inflow passage, and a tertiary pressure sensor for detecting hydrogen gas pressure in the outflow passage. An inlet side of each injector is connected to the inflow passage and an outlet side of each injector is connected to the outflow passage. The hydrogen gas allowed to flow in the inflow passage is injected by each injector into the outflow passage and thereby reduced in pressure. Each of the injectors, secondary pressure sensor, and tertiary pressure sensor are held between the inflow block and outflow block.

  • Patent number: 9570765
    Abstract: A hydrogen supply unit is configured to inject hydrogen gas having flowed in an inflow passage into an outflow passage by use of an injector to reduce the pressure of the hydrogen gas. The hydrogen supply unit includes a primary-side relief valve for releasing the hydrogen gas from inside to outside of the inflow passage when the internal pressure of the inflow passage rises to a first predetermined value, and a secondary-side relief valve for releasing the hydrogen gas from inside to outside of the outflow passage when the internal pressure of the outflow passage rises to a second predetermined value. The primary-side relief valve and the secondary-side relief valve are held between the inflow block and the outflow block.

  • Publication number: 20170018788
    Abstract: Each injector is placed and held between an inflow block and an outflow block. An inlet pipe of each injector is connected with an inlet hole of the inflow block via a sealing member, and an outlet pipe of each injector is connected with an outlet hole of the outflow block via a sealing member. An inflow pipe to introduce fuel gas is connected with an inflow port of the inflow block via a sealing member, and an outflow pipe to allow the fuel gas to flow out is connected with an outflow port of the outflow block via a sealing member. The inflow block has inner peripheral surfaces defining the inflow port and the inlet hole and each being formed as a smooth sealing surface finished by one of pressurizing and pressing, the corresponding sealing member being held in contact with a part of the inner peripheral surface.
