Abstract: In a drive unit of a fuel injection device, an electric current is supplied to the fuel injection device by applying a high voltage to the fuel injection device from a high voltage source whose voltage is boosted to a voltage higher than a battery voltage at the time of opening a valve of the fuel injection device. Thereafter, the electric current supplied to the fuel injection device is lowered to a current value at which a valve element cannot be held in a valve open state by stopping the applying of the high voltage from the high voltage source. Thereafter, in a stage where a supply current is switched to a hold current, another high voltage is applied to the fuel injection device from the high voltage source.

Abstract: Because the relationship of the fuel injection quantity to a designated injection period differs in a half-lift region and a full-lift region, the purpose of the present invention is to bring the flow rate characteristics of an intermediate-lift region close to the flow rate characteristics of the full-lift region and improve the controllability of small fuel injection quantities. Provided are a peak current supply period in which a valve body of a fuel injection valve causes the magnetic force necessary for a valve-opening action to be generated, and a lift quantity adjustment period in which, after the peak current supply period, a current lower than the peak current is passed for a prescribed period; further provided is a current interrupt period in which a drive current is rapidly lowered before the lift quantity adjustment period.

The fuel injection valve has a nozzle; a fixed valve that is press-fit into a tip of the nozzle and has a fuel injection port from which the fuel is injected; and a movable element that forms a fuel seal section by abutting against the fixed valve, and opens and closes the fuel injection port. The fixed valve and the nozzle are fixed in place by welding at a position with no space due to press-fitting. A groove that serves as an empty space is provided in a continuation of a welded section that is formed in the fixed valve and the nozzle by the welding.

Abstract: An object of this disclosure is to provide a fuel injection device that can reliably detect an operation timing of a valve body, that is, a valve opening timing with high accuracy. The current of an electromagnetic valve reaches I2 at time t3, an FET 201 and an FET 221 are turned on, and a battery voltage VB is applied to the electromagnetic valve until time t5 is reached. The amount of displacement of the valve body reaches a target amount of control lift at time t4 between time t3 and time t5, that is, a movable core 304 comes into contact with a fixed core 301. The detection of the valve opening timing is performed during the period from time t3 to time t5.

Abstract: In a fuel injection valve, it is possible to obtain spray in which the penetrating force of injected fuel is suppressed. The fuel injection valve includes a valve seat that forms a gap with a valve body, the gap allowing fuel to pass therethrough, and multiple injection holes that are located further downstream from the gap. The fuel to which pressure is applied flows out from the injection holes. When the flow velocity of the fuel in the gap formed between the valve body and the valve seat is indicated by meters per second, the flow velocity is set to be greater than a value obtained by multiplying the square root of the pressure applied to the fuel by 28. In this manner, the flow velocity in the gap increases, and flow velocity distribution inside the injection hole is uniformized, thereby suppressing an increase in penetration.

A valve body provided to be slidable; a first movable element for cooperating with the valve body; an inner fixed iron core provided at a position to oppose a second movable element; an outer fixed iron core; and a coil are included.

In this way, large and small lifts are constituted by using a difference between magnetic attractive forces that are generated in the first movable element and the second movable element by a current supplied to the coil.

In a method for applying the twisted angle ?, a side groove 15a on an outer peripheral side of a guide member 12a is set to be accompanied with a twist with respect to an axis O1. Furthermore, a flow passage area of the side groove 15a is set smaller than a flow passage area on an upstream side of the guide member 12a and is also set larger than a flow passage area of a seat section 7B that is constructed by a gap between a valve body 7 and an orifice cup 7.
