  • Patent number: 5163621
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve of a diesel engine, comprising a valve body including a concave conical surface in the tip portion of the valve body, and fuel injection holes extending from the concave surface to the outside of the valve body, and a needle valve movable in the valve body and including a cylindrical shaft portion, a first conical surface adjacent to the shaft portion and having a conical angle smaller than that of the concave surface, the lower edge of the first conical surface defining a contact line separably contacting with the concave surface, a second conical surface adjacent to the first surface and having a conical angle substantially equal to that of the concave surface, a third conical surface adjacent to the second surface and having a conical angle greater than that of the concave surface.

  • Patent number: 4627571
    Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle of the present invention has an accumulating chamber in a body in which high pressure fuel fed from the fuel injection pump is stored using a non-return valve. A needle valve is arranged in the body to inject the fuel in the accumulating chamber. A nozzle needle of the needle valve and a valve member are arranged coaxially and in series with each other. Those end portions of the nozzle needle and valve member which are adjacent to each other are slidably and liquid-sealingly fitted together to define a damping chamber between the valve member and the nozzle needle. Further, a damping plunger is coaxially fitted into the valve member. A passage which connects the damping chamber with the side of the fuel injection pump is coaxially formed in the damping plunger and has a reduced area.

  • Patent number: 4601269
    Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle of this invention includes a nozzle housing which defines therein a fuel sump chamber, stepped cylinder bore and fuel passage connected at one end to the sump chamber and at the other end to a smaller diameter bore section of a stepped bore. A stepped plunger is fitted into the stepped cylinder bore to define a pump chamber communicating with the fuel passage and a main fuel chamber into which the main fuel is supplied from a fuel injection pump. An auxiliary fuel is supplied from a feed pump through the fuel passage into the sump chamber and pump chamber. A nozzle needle is located within the nozzle housing and is responsive to a fuel pressure within the sump chamber to cause it to be lifted to permit an injection hole to be opened. The nozzle needle is urged under a predetermined force of a pressure spring in a direction in which the injection hole is blocked.

  • Patent number: 4513256
    Abstract: A sweep voltage from a sweep voltage generator is provided to sweep start and stop adjusting means, the outputs of which are summed by a summing circuit and, by the summed output, the oscillation frequency of a voltage controller oscillator is controlled. The oscillation frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator and the output frequency of a reference signal generator set to a sweep start frequency are compared by comparing means. The output of the sweep voltage generator is put in a sweep start state and sweep start adjusting means is adjusted in accordance with the output of the comparing means, thereby to cause the oscillation frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator to agree with a set sweep start frequency. The output of the sweep voltage generator is put in a sweep stop state and sweep stop adjusting means is adjusted in accordance with the output of the comparing means, thereby to cause the oscillation frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator to agree with a set sweep stop frequency.

  • Patent number: 4477770
    Abstract: A noise wave is received by a receiver and the received output is supplied to a first signal path composed of a rectifier and a low-pass filter connected to the output side thereof. The received output is applied to a second signal path comprised of an AC amplifier, or a rectifier for rectifying the amplified output, a low-pass filter for filtering the rectified output, and an attenuator for attenuating the filtered output. The outputs from the first and second signal paths are selectively provided to a time constant circuit by means of a switch in accordance with the received noise level. The input to the time constant circuit is converted into a quasi-peak value detected output, which is logarithmically amplified by a logarithmic amplifier and is then provided to an indicator.
