Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel injection device in which variations in an injection flow rate for each injection is suppressed and an injection amount is stabilized. The fuel injection device according to the present invention includes: a valve element that is seated on or unseated from a valve seat; a plurality of guide parts ( 302 a, 302 b, 302 c ) that slidably guide the valve element; and flow paths ( 306 a, 306 b, 306 c ) sandwiched between the guide parts in a circumferential direction. In the fuel injection device, one guide part ( 302 a ) among the plurality of guide parts is formed to have a longer circumferential length than that of other guide parts ( 302 b, 302 c ).

Claims (32)

1 . A fuel injection device comprising:

a valve element that is seated on or unseated from a valve seat;

a plurality of guide parts that slidably guide the valve element; and

a flow path sandwiched between the guide parts in a circumferential direction, wherein

one guide part among the plurality of guide parts is formed to have a longer circumferential length than that of another guide part.

2 . The fuel injection device according to claim 1 , comprising

a plurality of fuel injection holes arranged circumferentially, wherein

a fuel injection hole disposed on an opposite side to the guide part having a longest circumferential length among the plurality of fuel injection holes is formed to have a smaller angle formed between a central axis of the fuel injection hole and a central axis of the valve element than that of a fuel injection hole disposed on the guide part side having the longest circumferential length.

3 . The fuel injection device according to claim 1 , comprising

a plurality of fuel injection holes arranged circumferentially, wherein

a fuel injection hole disposed on an opposite side to the guide part having a longest circumferential length among the plurality of fuel injection holes is formed to have a smaller angle formed between a central axis of the fuel injection hole and a central axis of the valve element than that of another fuel injection hole.

4 . The fuel injection device according to claim 1 , comprising

a plurality of fuel injection holes arranged circumferentially, wherein

the plurality of fuel injection holes are arranged such that a number of the fuel injection holes arranged on the guide part side having a longest circumferential length is less than a number of the fuel injection holes arranged on an opposite side to the guide part having the longest circumferential length.

5 . The fuel injection device according to claim 1 , comprising

a plurality of fuel injection holes arranged circumferentially, wherein

a fuel injection hole disposed on an opposite side to the guide part having a longest circumferential length among the plurality of fuel injection holes is formed to have a larger hole diameter than that of a fuel injection hole disposed on the guide part side having the longest circumferential length.

6 . The fuel injection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the guide parts and the flow path are formed plane-symmetrically with respect to a symmetric plane passing through a central axis of the valve element, as a boundary.

7 . The fuel injection device according to claim 6 , comprising

a plurality of fuel injection holes arranged circumferentially, wherein

the plurality of fuel injection holes are formed plane-symmetrically with respect to the symmetry plane as a boundary.

8 . The fuel injection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the flow path is constituted by a plurality of flow paths having different shapes in a cross section perpendicular to a central axis of the valve element.

9 . A fuel injection device comprising:

a plurality of guide parts to guide a side of a valve element; and

a plurality of flow paths sandwiched between the guide parts in a circumferential direction, wherein

the plurality of flow paths are arranged at unequal intervals in the circumferential direction.

10 . A fuel injection device comprising:

a guide member formed with a plurality of flow paths; and

a valve element slidably inserted through the guide member, wherein

the guide member generates a pressure difference in a radial direction with respect to the valve element at a time of valve opening.
