Abstract

An electromagnetic fuel injection valve includes: a valve body having a rod connected to a valve part; a movable core fitted onto the rod slidably between valve-open side and valve-closed side stoppers; a fixed core having an attracting face opposing the movable core; a valve spring urging the valve body in a valve-closing direction; and an auxiliary spring exhibiting a spring force making the movable core abut against the valve-closed side stopper when a coil is unenergized. A surface, opposing the movable core, of the valve-closed side stopper includes: an annular first curved face part curved convexly toward the movable core and capable of abutting thereagainst; and first and second taper faces continuous respectively to inner and outer peripheral sides of the first curved face part and gradually separated from the movable core in going radially inward and outward, respectively, from the first curved face part.

Claims (14)

1. An electromagnetic fuel injection valve comprising

a valve housing that has a valve seat in one end part thereof,

a hollow fixed core that is connected to another end of the valve housing,

a coil that is disposed around an outer periphery of the fixed core,

a valve body that is formed by a valve part and a rod connected to the valve part that operates in cooperation with the valve seat,

a movable core that is slidably fitted onto the rod while opposing an attracting face of the fixed core,

a valve-open side stopper that is fixed to the rod, and configured to make the valve body open by abutting against the movable core that is attracted to the attracting face when the coil is energized,

a valve-closed side stopper that is fixed to the rod on a side closer to the valve seat than the valve-open side stopper and capable of abutting against the movable core,

a valve spring that urges the valve body in a valve-closing direction, and

an auxiliary spring that exhibits a spring force that urges the movable core to move away from the valve-open side stopper and abut against the valve-closed side stopper when the coil is unenergized,

wherein a surface, opposing the movable core, of the valve-closed side stopper includes an annular first curved face part, a first taper face, and a second taper face, the first curved face part having a cross section curved convexly toward the movable core and being capable of abutting against the movable core, the first taper face being continuous to an inner peripheral side of the first curved face part and gradually separated from the movable core in going radially inward from the first curved face part, the second taper face being continuous to an outer peripheral side of the first curved face part and gradually separated from the movable core in going radially outward from the first curved face part.

2. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second taper faces respectively extend in a tangential direction of the first curved face part so as to be continuous to the first curved face part.

3. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein respective radial widths of the first and second taper faces are larger than a radial width of the first curved face part.

4. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to claim 1 , wherein one of mutually opposing surfaces of the fixed core and the movable core includes an annular second curved face part, a third taper face, and a fourth taper face, the second curved face part having a cross section curved convexly toward another one of the mutually opposing surfaces and being capable of abutting thereagainst, the third taper face being continuous to an inner peripheral side of the second curved face part and gradually separated from the other opposing surface in going radially inward from the second curved face part, the fourth taper face being continuous to an outer peripheral side of the second curved face part and gradually separated from the other opposing surface in going radially outward from the second curved face part.
