Abstract

A fuel injection valve includes a valve body, a coil, an inner fixed iron core that is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the coil, and an outer fixed iron core that is arranged on an outer peripheral side of the coil. The fuel injection valve also includes a movable element that is configured to be attracted to the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core, wherein the movable element is configured to be separable from the valve body and is configured to move the valve body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fuel injection valve comprising:
a valve body;
a coil;
an inner fixed iron core that is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the coil;
an outer fixed iron core that is arranged on an outer peripheral side of the coil; and
a movable element that is configured to be attracted to the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core, wherein the movable element is configured to be separable from the valve body and is configured to move the valve body.

2. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , further comprising
a non-magnetic spacer that is provided between the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core and opposed to the movable element in a axial direction of the fuel injection valve.

3. The fuel injection valve according to claim 2 , wherein
the non-magnetic spacer is joined to the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core by welding.

4. The fuel injection valve according to claim to 2 , wherein
a non-magnetic spacer is coupled to the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core by tension joining.

5. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein
the movable element includes a hole in which the valve body is penetrated.

6. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein
the movable element includes:
an upper end surface that faces the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core in a axial direction of the fuel injection valve; and
a recessed portion that is provided on radially inner side of the upper end surface.

7. The fuel injection valve according to claim 5 , wherein
an inner diameter of the upper end surface is larger than an inner diameter of the inner fixed iron core.

8. The fuel injection valve according to claim 5 , wherein
a tapered portion is formed between the upper end surface and the recessed portion of the movable element.

9. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , further comprising
a spring that urges the movable element toward the second fixed iron core.

10. A fuel injection valve comprising:
a valve body;
s coil;
an inner fixed iron core that is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the coil;
an outer fixed iron core that is arranged on an outer peripheral side of the coil;
a movable element that is configured to move the valve body, wherein the movable element includes:
a first movable element configured to be attracted to the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core; and
a second movable element configured to be attracted to the inner fixed iron core.

11. The fuel injection valve according to claim 10 , further comprising
a non-magnetic spacer that is provided between the inner fixed core and the outer fixed iron core and opposed to the moveable element in a axial direction of the fuel injection valve.

12. The fuel injection valve according to claim 10 , wherein
the first movable element includes a hole in which the valve body is penetrated.

13. The fuel injection valve according to claim to 10 , wherein
the first movable element includes:
an upper end surface that faces the inner fixed iron core in a axial direction of the fuel injection valve; and
a recessed portion that is provided on radially inner side of the upper end surface.

14. The fuel injection valve according to claim 13 , wherein
an inner diameter of the upper end surface is larger than an inner diameter of the inner fixed iron core.

15. The fuel injection valve according to claim 13 , wherein
a tapered portion is formed between the upper end surface and the recessed portion of the first movable element.

16. The fuel injection valve according to claim 10 , further comprising
a spring that urges the first movable element toward the outer fixed iron core.

17. The fuel injection valve according to claim 10 , wherein
in a valve-closed state, a gap between the first movable element and the inner fixed iron core is larger than a gap between the second movable element and the inner fixed iron core.

18. The fuel injection valve according to claim 10 , wherein
in a state which the second movable element is in touch with the inner fixed iron core, an axial gap is provided between the first movable element and the second movable element.
