Spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve

1. A spark-ignition direct feul injection valve, comprising,

a seat member provided with a fule injection hole, and a valve seat; and

a valve body which controls fuel injection from the fuel injection hole by contacting and separating from the valve seat,

wherein the fuel injection hole has an injection hole inlet which is open inwardly of the seat member and an injection hole outlet which is open outwardly of the seat member,

wherein an opening edge of the injection hole inlet of the fuel injection hole has;

a first round-chamfered portion formed on a side far from a tip end portion of the valve body intersecting a central axis of the spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve; and

a second round-chamfered portion smaller in curvature radius than the first round-chamfered portion, the second round-chamfered portion being formed on a side closer to the tip end portion of the valve body than the first round-chamfered portion,

wherein a cross-sectional area of the fuel injection hole is gradually smaller from the injection hole inlet toward the injection hole outlet,

wherein the fuel injection hole includes a first fuel injection hole and a second fuel injection hole,

wherein in a cross-sectional view from a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the center axis of the spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve,

the cross-sectional view is divided into a first area and a second area by an inlet line connecting a center point of the injection hole inlet of the first fuel injection hole and a center point of the injection hole inlet of the second fuel injection hole,

a first non-zero angle is formed in the first area between (1) the inlet line and (2) a first line connecting the center point of the injection hole inlet of the first fuel injection hole and a center point of the injection hole outlet of the first fuel injection hole, and

a second non-zero angle is formed in the first area between (1) the inlet line and (2) a second line connecting the center point of the injection hole inlet of the second fuel injection hole and a center point of the injection hole outlet of the second fuel injection hole.

2. The spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein an extending length (L) of the fuel injection hole is three or less times a hole diameter (D) of the fuel injection hole, where the hole diameter (D) of the fuel injection hole represents a diameter measured at a boundary between a round-chamfered portion of the injection hole inlet and a side surface of the fuel injection hole.

3. The spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fuel injection hole has an elliptical cross-section.

4. The spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve according to claim 3 ,

wherein the fuel injection hole having the elliptical cross-section is oriented such that a major axis of a ellipse defined at a boundary between a round-chamfered portion of the injection hole inlet and a side surface of the fuel injection hole is approximately perpendicular to a fuel flow toward the injection hole inlet.

5. The spark ignition direct fuel injection valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein the seat member has a recessed portion on a bottom surface of which the injection hole outlet of the fuel injection hole is formed,

wherein the extending length (L) of the fuel injection hole is measured from a surface on which the valve seat is formed to the bottom surface of the recessed portion.

6. The spark ignition direct fuel injection valve according to claim 5 ,

wherein the injection hole outlet is formed such that an. angle defined between the side surface of the fuel injection hole and the bottom surface of the recessed portion is an acute angle.
