Abstract

Provided is a fuel injection valve capable of quickly stopping a position of a movable element at a predetermined position after closing a valve while reducing an impact force of a valve body. Therefore, a valve body 101 includes a sleeve 113 . A first movable core 201 (first movable element) lifts the valve body 101 by the attractive force of a magnetic core 107 . A second movable core 202 (second movable element) further lifts the valve body 101 by the attractive force of the magnetic core 107 after the first movable core 201 (first movable element) lifts the valve body 101 . After the valve body 101 is seated on the seat member 102 and the second movable core 202 (second movable element) is separated from the sleeve 113 , a bottom surface 201 g of the first movable core 201 (first movable element) collides with a storage bottom surface 111 b (collision receiving portion).

Claims (28)

1. A fuel injection valve, comprising:

a valve body having a sleeve;

a seat member on that the valve body is seated;

a magnetic core;

a first movable element that lifts the valve body by an attractive force of the magnetic core;

a second movable element that is configured separately from the valve body and further lifts the valve body by the attractive force of the magnetic core after the first movable element lifts the valve body; and

a collision receiving portion that collides with a bottom surface of the first movable element after the valve body is seated on the seat member and the second movable element separates from the sleeve.

2. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cylindrical member that includes the valve body,

wherein the collision receiving portion is formed by the cylindrical member itself.

3. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cylindrical member that includes the valve body,

wherein the collision receiving portion is attached to the cylindrical member and configured as a separate member from the cylindrical member.

4. The fuel injection valve according to claim 3 ,

wherein a saturation magnetic flux density of the collision receiving portion is lower than the saturation magnetic flux density of the members of the magnetic circuit.

5. The fuel injection valve according to claim 3 ,

wherein the cylindrical member forms a magnetic circuit together with the first movable element, the second movable element, and the magnetic core.

6. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second movable element is disposed in a concave portion formed in the first movable element, and

wherein, when the valve is closed, a second gap between the second movable element and the magnetic core is larger than a first gap between the first movable element and the magnetic core.

7. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the first movable element is attracted to the magnetic core, the first movable element is engaged with the second movable element, and the second movable element is engaged with the valve body, so that the valve is lifted.

8. The fuel injection valve according to claim 7 ,

wherein, when the first movable element is attracted to the magnetic core, a bottom surface of the concave portion formed in the first movable element engages with a bottom surface of the second movable element, and a top surface of the second movable element engages with a bottom surface of the sleeve of the valve body, so that the valve body is lifted.

9. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein, after the first movable element lifts the valve body, a top surface of the second movable element engages with a bottom surface of the sleeve of the valve body, so that the valve body is lifted.

10. The fuel injection valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the valve body is separate from the first movable element and the second movable element.
