Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a fuel injection valve that applies a swirl to an upstream side of a seat section to shorten spray penetration.
When flows into injection hole entries are indicated by arrows 101 a to 106 a and injection hole exit directions are indicated by arrows 201 to 206 , an angle α defined by the inflow direction 101 a and the exit direction 201 of an injection hole 71 can be increased. In a method for applying the twisted angle α, a side groove 15 a on an outer peripheral side of a guide member 12 a is set to be accompanied with a twist with respect to an axis O 1 . Furthermore, a flow passage area of the side groove 15 a is set smaller than a flow passage area on an upstream side of the guide member 12 a and is also set larger than a flow passage area of a seat section 7 B that is constructed by a gap between a valve body 7 and an orifice cup 7.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fuel injection valve comprising:
an injection hole;
a seat section provided on an upstream side of the injection hole; and
a valve body that is brought into a valve closed state when contacting the seat section and is brought into a valve open state when separating from the seat section, wherein
a fixed member by which a fuel passage is formed on an outer peripheral side of the valve body in an upstream section of the seat section is provided, and the fuel passage of the fixed member is formed to be inclined with respect to a center axis of the fuel injection valve, and
the fixed member is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the valve body and constructed of a guide member for guiding the valve body, and the fuel passage is constructed in an outer peripheral section of the guide member.

2. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel passage has a twisted relationship with a center axis of a fuel injection valve main body.

3. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel passage is formed by being penetrated from an upstream side to a downstream side.

4. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein a flow passage area of the guide member is smaller than an upstream flow passage area of the guide member and is larger than a flow passage area of the seat section.

5. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the seat section and the fixed member are formed of the same part.

6. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel passage is formed such that an upstream side flow passage area is smaller than a downstream side flow passage area.

7. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed member is constructed of a separate body from a casing that is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the valve body.

8. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed member is constructed of a separate body from the valve body.

9. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the fuel injection valve is a direct injection type for directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber.

10. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the four fuel passages are formed in the fixed member.

11. A fuel injection valve comprising:
an injection hole;
a seat section provided on an upstream side of the injection hole; and
a valve body that is brought into a valve closed state when contacting the seat section and is brought into a valve open state when separating from the seat section wherein
a fixed member by which a fuel passage is formed on an outer peripheral side of the valve body in an upstream section of the seat section is provided, and an entry surface section and an exit surface section of the fuel passage are formed at displaced positions from each other in a top view of the fixed member, and
the fixed member is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the valve body and constructed of a guide member for guiding the valve body, and the fuel passage is constructed in an outer peripheral section of the guide member.

12. The fuel injection valve according to claim 11 , wherein the fuel passage has a twisted relationship with a center axis of a fuel injection valve main body.

13. The fuel injection valve according to claim 11 , wherein a flow passage area of the guide member is smaller than an upstream flow passage area of the guide member and is larger than a flow passage area of the seat section.

14. The fuel injection valve according to claim 11 , wherein the fuel passage is formed such that an upstream side flow passage area is smaller than a downstream side flow passage area.

15. A fuel injection valve comprising:
an injection hole;
a seat section provided on an upstream side of the injection hole; and
a valve body that is brought into a valve closed state when contacting the seat section and is brought into a valve open state when separating from the seat section, wherein
a fixed member by which a fuel passage is formed on an outer peripheral side of the valve body in an upstream section of the seat section is provided, an outer peripheral section of the fixed member is formed to be recessed to an inner peripheral side, and the fuel passage is thereby formed, and
the fixed member is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the valve body and constructed of a guide member for guiding the valve body, and the fuel passage is constructed in an outer peripheral section of the guide member.

16. The fuel injection valve according to claim 15 , wherein the fuel passage has a twisted relationship with a center axis of a fuel injection valve main body.

17. The fuel injection valve according to claim 15 , wherein a flow passage area of the guide member is smaller than an upstream flow passage area of the guide member and is larger than a flow passage area of the seat section.
