Fuel injection valve
View Patent ↗In a fuel injection valve, it is possible to obtain spray in which the penetrating force of injected fuel is suppressed. The fuel injection valve includes a valve seat that forms a gap with a valve body, the gap allowing fuel to pass therethrough, and multiple injection holes that are located further downstream from the gap. The fuel to which pressure is applied flows out from the injection holes. When the flow velocity of the fuel in the gap formed between the valve body and the valve seat is indicated by meters per second, the flow velocity is set to be greater than a value obtained by multiplying the square root of the pressure applied to the fuel by 28. In this manner, the flow velocity in the gap increases, and flow velocity distribution inside the injection hole is uniformized, thereby suppressing an increase in penetration.
1. A fuel injection valve comprising:
a valve seat that forms a gap with a valve body, the gap allowing fuel to pass therethrough; and
multiple injection holes that are located further downstream from the gap, wherein
fuel to which pressure is applied flows out from the injection holes,
the fuel injection valve is structured so as to cause a magnitude of a flow velocity of the fuel in the gap formed between the valve seat and the valve body to be greater than a magnitude of a value obtained by multiplying the square root of the pressure applied to the fuel by 28,
the injection hole is drilled so that a sectional shape thereof is an elliptical shape, and
at a position where an axis of the injection hole intersects a surface having the injection hole drilled thereon, a sectional area when an outlet shape of the injection hole is viewed in an axial direction of the injection hole is set to be larger than an area formed by an inlet shape of the injection.
2. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein an R-shape is disposed at an inlet of the injection hole so as to increase the flow velocity of the fuel in the gap.
3. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein a total sectional area of the injection hole is larger than a sectional area of a flow path in the gap.
4. A fuel injection valve comprising:
a valve seat that forms a gap with a valve body, the gap allowing fuel to pass therethrough; and
multiple injection holes that are located further downstream from the gap, wherein
fuel to which pressure is applied flows out from the injection holes,
a magnitude of a flow velocity of the fuel in the gap formed between the valve seat and the valve body is set to be greater than a magnitude of a value obtained by multiplying the square root of the pressure applied to the fuel by 28,
the injection hole is drilled so that a sectional shape thereof is an elliptical shape, and
at a position where an axis of the injection hole intersects a surface having the injection hole drilled thereon, a sectional area when an outlet shape of the injection hole is viewed in an axial direction of the injection hole is set to be larger than an area formed by an inlet shape of the injection hole when the injection hole is viewed in a direction perpendicular to the surface.
5. The fuel injection valve according to claim 4 ,
wherein an R-shape is disposed at an inlet of the injection hole so as to increase the flow velocity of the fuel in the gap.
6. The fuel injection valve according to claim 4 ,
wherein a total sectional area of the injection hole is larger than a sectional area of a flow path in the gap.
