Abstract

Provided is an electronic fuel injection type diesel engine capable of performing precise electronic fuel injection control. A fuel injector includes a main body portion having a large diameter, a nozzle portion having a small diameter, and a pressing surface formed at a step portion between the main body portion and the nozzle portion, in which the nozzle portion of the fuel injector is inserted from an inside of a sleeve into an inside of an insertion hole, the fuel injector is pressed toward a vortex chamber by a pressing force, and the pressing force applied to the fuel injector is received by a pressure receiving surface of the sleeve from the pressing surface of the fuel injector via the washer.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic fuel injection type diesel engine including a cylinder, a cylinder head, a vortex chamber in the cylinder head, a main combustion chamber in the cylinder, a communication port for communicating the main combustion chamber and the vortex chamber, an insertion hole in the cylinder head toward the vortex chamber, and an electronic fuel injection type fuel injector inserted into the insertion hole, the electronic fuel injection type diesel engine comprising:
a sleeve protruding from the insertion hole to an outside of the cylinder head; and
a pressure receiving surface provided at a protruding end portion of the sleeve,
wherein the fuel injector includes a main body portion having a large diameter, a nozzle portion having a small diameter, and a pressing surface formed at a step portion between the main body portion and the nozzle portion, and
wherein the nozzle portion of the fuel injector is inserted from an inside of the sleeve to an inside of the insertion hole, the fuel injector is pressed toward the vortex chamber by a pressing force, and the pressing force applied to the fuel injector is received by the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve from the pressing surface of the fuel injector via a washer.

2. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein a valve body is housed in the nozzle portion of the fuel injector, and an electronic component of a valve actuator of the valve body is housed in the main body portion of the fuel injector.

3. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 1 , further comprising an engine cooling air passage,
wherein an outer peripheral surface of the main body portion of the fuel injector and an outer peripheral surface of the sleeve are exposed in the engine cooling air passage.

4. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is configured as a component separate from the cylinder head and is attached to the cylinder head.

5. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with an adhesive.

6. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with grease.

7. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with a seat gasket.

8. The diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein a concentric circular or spiral groove extending in a circumferential direction is formed in one or both of the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve and a pressing surface of the washer.

9. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 1 ,
wherein a fuel injection hole is provided in a distal end surface of the nozzle portion facing the vortex chamber, and
wherein a part or an entirety of the distal end surface of the nozzle portion protrudes into the vortex chamber.

10. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 2 , further comprising an engine cooling air passage,
wherein an outer peripheral surface of the main body portion of the fuel injector and an outer peripheral surface of the sleeve are exposed in the engine cooling air passage.

11. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 2 , wherein the sleeve is configured as a component separate from the cylinder head and is attached to the cylinder head.

12. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 2 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with an adhesive.

13. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 2 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with grease.

14. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 2 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with a seat gasket.

15. The diesel engine according to claim 2 , wherein a concentric circular or spiral groove extending in a circumferential direction is formed in one or both of the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve and a pressing surface of the washer.

16. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 2 ,
wherein a fuel injection hole is provided in a distal end surface of the nozzle portion facing the vortex chamber, and
wherein a part or an entirety of the distal end surface of the nozzle portion protrudes into the vortex chamber.

17. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 3 , wherein the sleeve is configured as a component separate from the cylinder head and is attached to the cylinder head.

18. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 3 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with an adhesive.

19. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 3 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with grease.

20. The electronic fuel injection type diesel engine according to claim 3 , wherein a space between a pressing surface of the washer and the pressure receiving surface of the sleeve is sealed with a seat gasket.
