Patent number: 11319911Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes: a coil; a stationary core to generate a magnetic force; a movable structure including a moving core and a valve body and internally having a movable flow passage; and a body that internally accommodates the movable structure and internally has a part of the flow passage. The movable structure includes a throttle portion at which a passage area of the movable flow passage is partially throttled. The flow passage includes a throttle flow passage defined by the throttle portion and a separate flow passage between the movable structure and the body. A passage area of the separate flow passage is smaller than a passage area of the throttle flow passage. A position of the separate flow passage in a direction perpendicular to a moving direction of the movable structure is different from an outermost peripheral position of the moving core.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Makoto Saizen, Shuichi Matsumoto, Keita Imai, Moriyasu Goto

Patent number: 11168656Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes: a coil that is configured to generate a magnetic flux when the coil is energized; a stationary core that is configured to become a passage of the magnetic flux; a movable core that is configured to be attracted to the stationary core when the movable core becomes a passage of the magnetic flux; and a magnetic-flux limiting portion that is displaced from the stationary core in an axial direction while a degree of magnetism of the magnetic-flux limiting portion is lower than a degree of magnetism of the stationary core. A boundary between the stationary core and the magnetic-flux limiting portion is defined as a limiting boundary, and an imaginary extension line, which is formed by extending the limiting boundary toward the movable core, is defined as a boundary extension line. The limiting boundary is tilted relative to the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Makoto Saizen, Shuichi Matsumoto

Patent number: 11149598Abstract: A fuel injection control device includes an additional energization unit. Concerning an undershoot state caused by a first energization for fuel injection, a return period is an estimated period required for a movable core to return to an initial position from a first energization. An injection interval ranges from the first energization to a second energization that is for a next fuel injection. An allowable period is obtained by subtracting a rise period estimated for the second energization from the return period. The additional energization unit adds an additional energization between the first energization and the second energization when the injection interval is longer than or equal to the allowable period and is shorter than or equal to the return period.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Masayuki Niwa, Makoto Saizen, Makoto Tanaka

Publication number: 20190277236Abstract: An injection hole body has an injection hole to inject fuel for causing combustion in an internal combustion engine. A valve body is unseated from and seated on a seating surface of the injection hole body. The injection hole body and the valve body form a fuel passage therebetween to communicate with an inflow port of the injection hole. The fuel passage is opened and closed by unseating and seating of the valve body. A resilient member generates a resilient force to urge the valve body toward the seating surface. A seat angle is an angle between two straight lines appearing in a cross section of the seating surface, the cross section including a center axis of the valve body. The seat angle is 90 degrees or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Hiroyuki HARADA, Takanori KITO, Keita IMAI, Makoto SAIZEN
