Patent number: 8672239Abstract: A fuel injector is disclosed that has plural nozzle holes with the same cross-sectional shape and can individually set the flow rate of each nozzle hole. The fuel injector includes the plural nozzle holes, a seat section positioned upstream of the nozzle holes, a valve element that closes a valve when brought into contact with the seat section and opens the valve when separated from the seat section, and a circular cone tapered from an upstream end to a downstream end and provided with the seat section and an inlet opening of the nozzle holes. The plural nozzle holes have an identical shape and a shape of a cross-section of each of the nozzle holes is substantially out-of-round, the cross-section being perpendicular to a central axis of each of the nozzle holes. The cross-section of each of the nozzle holes is rotated around the central axis of each of the nozzle holes.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Kiyotaka Ogura, Yasuo Namaizawa

Publication number: 20110123376Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply pump mounted with a discharge valve that can reduce an influence of noise caused by a valve body-circumferential flow and a discharge valve unit used therein. The high-pressure fuel supply pump includes a discharge valve (8) which is a non-return valve between a pressurizing chamber (11) and a discharge port (13). The discharge valve (8) includes a valve body housing (8d), a discharge valve spring (8c), a valve body (8b) and a seat member (8a). The discharge valve (8) is a flat valve. When the valve is opened, a flow of fuel moving from the pressurizing chamber and axially colliding with the valve body is radially distributed in the radial direction of the valve body to become a flow directly moving the discharge ports and a flow colliding with an inner wall of the valve body housing before moving toward the discharge ports and then in a circumferential direction of the valve body.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Inventors: Shunsuke Aritomi, Hideki Machimura, Kiyotaka Ogura, Masami Abe, Kenichiro Tokuo

Publication number: 20110073682Abstract: A fuel injection valve comprises a valve return spring as a coil spring that applies a spring force to a movable valve element toward a valve seat and an adjuster that is used for adjusting a spring force by adjusting the amount of spring compression. The injection valve is provided with parts supporting respectively both ends of the spring in the axial direction, and the parts rotatable in the circumferential direction of the spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicant: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Yusuke Irino, Toru Ishikawa, Yasuo Namaizawa, Hisashi Ohwada, Kiyotaka Ogura

Patent number: 7021569Abstract: A fuel swirler positioned upstream of an injection orifice is disposed at the tip of a nozzle body in a fuel injector, in which the fixed core and the nozzle body are coupled to each other via a non-magnetic cylindrical seal ring press-fitted and welded to the outer circumference of one end on the nozzle body side of the fixed core and the inner circumference of one end of the nozzle body. The inner circumference of the fuel swirler and the inner circumference of the seal ring function serve as a guide for slidably guiding a stroke movement of the needle. The fuel swirler is held between the receiving surface of the nozzle body and the orifice plate, thus defining an annular fuel passage between the outer circumference of the fuel swirler and the inner circumference of the nozzle body, so that fuel flows into a passage groove formed at the lower end surface of the fuel swirler via the annular fuel passage.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2000Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Car Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyotaka Ogura, Atsushi Sekine, Eiichi Kubota, Masafumi Nakano, Keiichi Uraki, Noriyuki Maekawa, Mizuho Yokoyama, Yoshiyuki Tanabe, Hiromasa Kubo, Tooru Ishikawa

Patent number: 6908050Abstract: A press-machined fuel induction pipe 40, a hollow tubular type of fixed core 1 with a flange at its upper end, and a nozzle holder 18 that was press-machined into a slender tubular shape and has an orifice plate equipped with a valve seat at the lower end of the nozzle holder, are connected by welding. The upper inner surface of nozzle holder 18 and the outer surface of fixed core 1 are welded after being press-fit. A movable core 14 and a valve body 16 are connected to the welded assembly via a point 15 having a spring function. On the outer surface of nozzle holder 18 is provided an electromagnetic coil 2, the outside of which is provided with a tubular yoke 4 whose upper end is connected by welding to the flange 1a of fixed core 1 and whose lower end is press-fit on the outer surface of nozzle holder 18.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2004Date of Patent: June 21, 2005Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Car Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Sekine, Kiyotaka Ogura, Ryuya Ando, Makoto Yamakado, Noriyuki Maekawa

Patent number: 6783109Abstract: An electromagnetic fuel injection valve comprises a movable unit having a valve element, an electromagnetic coil, and a magnetic circuit for magnetically attracting the movable unit toward a valve opening side through energization of the electromagnetic coil. The magnetic circuit is composed of a hollow, cylindrical stationary core, which defines a fuel passage extending axially through an injection valve body, a hollow seal ring made of a nonmagnetic or a feeble magnetic material, a hollow nozzle housing, and a movable core constituting a part of the movable unit. The stationary core and the nozzle housing are joined together through the seal ring. This electromagnetic fuel injection valve has improved responsibility.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2002Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Car Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyotaka Ogura, Atsushi Sekine, Noriyuki Maekawa

Patent number: 6766789Abstract: An injector driving control apparatus operates with minimum power consumption, while ensuring linearity (proportionality between the current supply duration and fuel injection volume of the injector) in a wide fuel pressure range. A coil current feedback circuit is provided for controlling the current feedback duration according to the fuel pressure after applying the current at a boost voltage. This enables optimal control of the injector, and, hence, an improvement in the fuel injection volume characteristics (linearity) and a reduction in the heat generated in the injector driving control circuits.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2002Date of Patent: July 27, 2004Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Yamakado, Noriyuki Maekawa, Kiyotaka Ogura, Kazutaka Hino, Tohru Ishikawa
