Abstract

A check vale for injecting fuel comprises: an integrally formed body provided with a neck-down portion having a diameter smaller than other areas on an outer surface of an upper portion of a fuel flow hole; an integrally formed spindle perpendicularly penetrating the body and provided with a neck-down portion having a diameter smaller than other areas on an outer surface of a lower portion of the fuel flow hole of the body; a spring surrounding an upper end portion of the spindle; a spring seat for fixing the spring surrounding the upper end portion of the spindle and for guiding the spindle to a perpendicular position; a coupling ring coupled to an upper end of the body for fixing the body to a prechamber; and a spacer coupled to a lower end of the body for fixing the lower end of the body that covers an outer edge of the spindle to the prechamber.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A check valve for injecting fuel, comprising:
an elongate body having a through-hole formed along a longitudinal direction of the body, wherein a first neck-down portion having an outer diameter smaller than other areas is formed at an intermediate portion of the body in the longitudinal direction thereof, and a fuel flow hole is formed at the first neck-down portion;
a coupling ring coupled to an upper end of the body, wherein the coupling ring is configured to fix the body to a prechamber;
a coil spring installed inside the coupling ring;
an elongate spindle slidably installed inside the through-hole of the body and inside the coil spring in the coupling ring, wherein a second neck-down portion having an outer diameter smaller than other areas is formed at a lower end portion of the spindle;
a spring seat inserted into an annular gap formed between an upper end portion of the spindle and an upper end portion of the coupling ring, wherein the spring seat is fixed with the upper end portion of the spindle and slidable with the spindle inside the upper end portion of the coupling ring; and
a spacer, which is coupled to a lower end of the body, for fixing the lower end of the body that covers an outer edge of the spindle to the prechamber,
wherein an O-ring is provided in the upper end portion of the spindle to contact an inner surface of the through hole of the body.

2. The check valve of claim 1 , wherein a short jaw is formed on an outer surface of each of an upper end portion and a lower end portion of the body.

3. The check valve of claim 1 , wherein the spring seat is coupled to the spindle by coupling a split ring.

4. The check valve of claim 1 , wherein a thread is formed on an outer surface of the coupling ring.

5. The check valve of claim 4 , wherein the upper end portion of the coupling ring has a nut shape.

6. The check valve of claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter of the spring seat is guided toward an inner diameter of the coupling ring.

7. The check valve of claim 1 , wherein a lower end of the spacer is placed at a portion lower than a lower end of the spindle.
