Abstract: A movable core is driven by a magnetic attraction force with a fixed core to move a valve body to inject fuel. A yoke accommodates the fixed core. A coil is in a coil chamber between the fixed core and the yoke. The coil chamber is filled with a filling resin member being electrically insulative. The fixed core has a core facing surface facing the movable core and includes a protruding portion that protrudes radially outer side and is in contact with the yoke to conduct the magnetic flux. A resin molding flow channel is formed in the protruding portion to cause molten resin serving as the filling resin member to flow into the coil chamber. A length of the protruding portion along a cylinder center line is set to be shorter toward a radially outer side.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes a valve body, a fixed core, a movable core, a holder, and a stopper. The movable core has an inner core that contacts the stopper, and an outer core press-fitted to an outer peripheral surface of the inner core. The outer core has, in a moving direction of the movable core, a press-fit region which is press-fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the inner core, and a non-press-fit region which is not press-fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the inner core and is adjacent to the press-fit region in the moving direction. Between the inner peripheral surface of the holder and the outer peripheral surface of the movable core, the smallest gap in the press-fit region is larger than the smallest gap in the non-press-fit region.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes a valve body, a fixed core, a movable core, a spring and a cup. The movable core has a first core contact surface which contacts the valve body when the movable core is moved by a predetermined distance away from a nozzle hole, and a second core contact surface which contacts the cup when the movable core is moved away from the nozzle hole. The movable core, the cup and the valve body form a fuel storage chamber which is surrounded by the movable core, the cup and the valve body to accumulate fuel. The first core contact surface is located inside the fuel storage chamber. The first core contact surface and the second core contact surface have a communication groove through which the inside and the outside of the fuel storage chamber communicate with each other.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes a valve body, a fixed core, a movable core, a spring, and a cup. The spring is elastically deformed according to valve opening operation of the valve body, and exerts a valve closing elastic force for closing the valve body. The cup contacts a valve closing contact surface of the valve body, and transmits the valve closing elastic force to the valve body. At a start of predetermined-distance movement of the movable core together with the cup, the cup is in contact with the valve closing contact surface, and the valve body or the cup has a supply flow channel through which fuel is supplied to the valve body closing contact surface which is in a state contacting the cup.

Abstract: A valve body has a seat surface swollen toward a seating surface of an injection hole body having an injection hole. A fuel passage is between the injection hole body and the valve body and is opened and closed due to separation and seating of the seat surface. In a seat portion throttle state, a flow rate of injected fuel is throttled by a gap between the seat surface and the seating surface. In an injection hole throttle state, the flow rate of fuel is throttled by the injection hole. When the valve body is operated from a valve closing position to a full lift position, the seat portion throttle state is brought from the valve closing position to a predetermined intermediate position, and the injection hole throttle state is brought from the intermediate position to the full lift position.

The guide has a sliding surface on which an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion slides so as to guide the movement of the cylindrical portion in an axial direction while restricting the movement of the cylindrical portion in a radial direction. The guide has a recessed surface connected to the sliding surface and recessed to increase a gap between the recessed surface and the cup in the radial direction.

Abstract: A current control unit in a fuel injection device controls a magnitude of a current flowing through a coil during single energization. A current Ip1 flows once a signal input to the current control unit is turned ON at time t11. As a result, a movable core and a needle abut against each other with a lift amount increased at time t12, and then the needle is separated from a valve seat and pre-injection is performed. At time t13, which follows the pre-injection, the needle and movable core lift amount becomes a lift amount D1 at a time when the needle and the valve seat abut against each other, and temporary valve closing occurs. At time t14, which follows time t13, currents Ix1 and Im1 larger than the current Ip1 are caused to flow through the coil, and then main injection is performed with the needle and movable core lift amount turned into a lift amount D2 larger than the lift amount D1. Therefore, fuel injection can be performed twice during the single energization.
