  • Patent number: 9726131
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve in which a valve element is formed at a distal end thereof with a flat portion 13c which is substantially parallel with an injection hole plate 11, injection hole entrances 12a are arranged inside an imaginary envelop 15 along an intersection between an extension 10b of a downstream inner wall of a seat portion of a valve seat and an upstream plane 11c of the injection hole plate and outside the flat plane at the distal end of the valve element, and the relation between the vertical distance h between the flat plane at the distal end of the valve element and the upstream plane of the injection hole plate with the valve opened and the diameter d of the injection hole entrance is h<d, and the injection hole 12 is formed to be inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the direction of the thickness of the injection hole plate.

  • Patent number: 9512810
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent a short circuit and disconnection between coil wires 52 in a crossing portion 52c in a solenoid device 5 of a fuel injection valve 1 that has a structure in which the coil wires 52 intersect with each other on a winding initiation side 52a and a winding completion side 52b of the coil wires 52. A groove that is deeper in depth than the coil wire 52 is disposed in a bobbin 53, around which the coil wire 52 is wound, and the winding initiation side and the winding completion side of the coil wire is separated into upper and lower stages of a groove portion in the crossing portion.

  • Patent number: 9194350
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes a solenoid device which generates a magnetic sucking force; a core provided inside the solenoid device; a movable valve element composed of an armature coming into contact with the core, a pipe section whose one end is joined to the armature, and a valve section joined to the other end of the pipe section, the valve element being suctioned against a spring during energization of the solenoid device; and a valve seat unit having a valve seat to or from which the valve element is mounted or removed by the magnetic sucking force generated from the solenoid device and pressing force of the spring. The armature, the valve section, and the pipe section of the valve element are integrally configured by molding with resin, the armature and the valve section being joined by the pipe section.

  • Patent number: 8302889
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve has a valve body for opening and closing a valve seat, and receives an operation signal from a control unit to operate the valve body so that fuel is injected from a plurality of injection holes formed in an injection hole plate welded through a welded portion to a downstream side of the valve seat while passing through a gap between the valve body and the valve seat. The injection hole plate is formed at its central portion with a convex portion which is substantially axisymmetric with respect to a valve seat axis and which has a circular-arc shaped cross section, and the welded portion is also substantially axisymmetric with respect to the valve seat axis.

  • Patent number: 8002207
    Abstract: This invention serves to suppress the deterioration of oil tightness of a valve after welding without any change in the direction of fuel injection even with deformation of a convex portion after welding of an injection opening plate to a valve seat, as well as without any variation in the direction of fuel injection due to welding variation.
