Abstract

Provided is an electromagnetic fuel injection valve such that the collision faces of a chrome-coated movable element with respect to a stationary core and a valve body are flat, and change in the fuel injection quantity can be suppressed. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve is provided with a movable element having a cylindrical structure, and a valve body which is separated from the movable element and provided on the hollow portion side of the movable element so as to reciprocate. The movable element has a first collision face which collides with an end face of a stationary core, and a second collision face which collides with an end face of the valve body, said first collision face and second collision face coated with a chrome coating layer, and said chrome coating layer applied by disposing a positive electrode on the center axis of the movable element. An inclined face having an inclination to compensate for the inclination of the inclined face obtained from the thickness of the chrome coating layer gradually increasing toward the center axis is formed on the end face of the base material of the movable element on which at least one of either the first collision face or the second collision face will be formed. The chrome coating layer is applied on the inclined face, so that at least one of either the first collision face or the second collision face is flat.

Claims (23)

1. An electromagnetic fuel injection valve comprising:

a stationary core; and

a movable valve element that comprises a movable core which has a cylindrical structure, and a valve body, which is formed separate from the movable core and retained on a central axis side of the valve body, wherein

the movable core is coated with a chromium film layer,

an end face of a movable core base material having a protruding part which protrudes from the movable core to the stationary core, the protruding part being provided with a sloped surface on the central axis side of the valve body, the sloped surface sloping toward the central axis side of the valve body from a stationary core side to a movable core side, and

one end face of the chromium film layer on the sloped surface of the protruding part impacts with an end face of the stationary core, another end face of the chromium film layer on the sloped surface of the protruding part sloping toward the central axis from the stationary core side to the movable core side.

2. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein

the movable core includes a shelf portion that is circularly formed in a hollow portion of the cylindrical structure to retain the valve body with an end face of the shelf portion,

the valve body has an engagement portion that engages with the end face of the shelf portion,

a first impact surface is disposed on an upper end face on an outer circumferential side of the movable valve element, and

a second impact surface is disposed on the end face of the shelf portion.

3. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 2 , wherein

the first and second impact surfaces of the movable core are formed on the same end face that opposes the stationary core, and

the sloped surface of the movable core base material is formed only on the second impact surface side.

4. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 2 , wherein an angular portion on an inner circumference side of the end face of the movable core base material, on which at least either the first impact surface or the second impact surface is formed, is chamfered to have a gentle curvature.

5. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the sloped surface of the movable core base material is tapered downward in shape.

6. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the sloped surface of the movable core base material is formed to have a curve that gradually becomes low toward an inner circumferential side of the movable element.

7. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein

the end face of the movable core base material is provided with a second sloped surface on the central axis side of the valve body, the second sloped surface sloping toward the central axis side from the stationary core side to the movable core side, and

one end face of the chromium film layer on the second sloped surface impacts with the end face of the valve body, the another end face of the chromium film layer on the second sloped surface sloping toward the central axis from the stationary core side to the movable core side.

8. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the one end face of the chromium film layer on the sloped surface is formed to be parallel with the end face of the stationary core.

9. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the one end face of the chromium film layer on the second sloped surface is formed to be parallel with the end face of the valve body.

10. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 7 , wherein a first inclination angle of the another end face of the chromium film layer on the sloped surface is smaller than a second inclination angle of the another end face of the chromium film layer on a second sloped surface.
