Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a winding large and to prevent the breaking of a coil by forming two circular grooves in a bobbin provided in a detection part and by putting a winding for generating a magnetic field in one groove and a wire for taking out a signal in the other groove. SOLUTION: A high-frequency current is passed through a winding 32 via a signal taking-out wire 24 to generate an alternating magnetic flux in a coil 30. When fuel is injected, a pressure pin 2 is moved with a needle to change a gap L between the flange 20 of the pressure pin 2 and the coil 30, which changes the magnetic flux density of the coil 30 and the pressure pin 2. An electric signal induced in the coil 30 is changed based on the change of the magnetic flux density and is sent to a detector via the signal taking out wire 24 and the time-varying lift of the needle is determined by a time-varying voltage. Since the winding 32 and the signal taking-out wire 24 are put separately in the circular grooves 33, 34 made in a bobbin 31, the winding 32 can be wound in a relatively large space.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To shorten the length of a fuel overflow passage and to reduce the volume of a fuel pressurizing chamber by a method wherein an overflow valve coupled to the interior of the fuel pressurizing chamber through the fuel overflow passage is arranged eccentrically from the axis of a piezoelectric element to the plunger side. CONSTITUTION:A fuel pressurizing chamber 15 is formed in a lower end surface 12a of a plunger 12 slidably inserted in a sleeve 10 securely engaged internally o;f a housing body 1, and the fuel pressurizing chamber 15 is coupled to a needle pressurizing chamber 18 through a fuel passage 17. A slide hole 25 is formed in the housing body 1 by the side of a plunger hole 11, and an overflow valve 26 is slidably inserted in the slide hole 25. A fuel overflow chamber 27 communicated to an annular fuel chamber 21 through a fuel passage 28 is formed adjacently to the slide hole 25.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make the capacity of a fuel pressure chamber inclusive of a fuel overflow passage too reducible by making an axis of a sliding hole in an overflow valve so as to be paralleled with a straight line almost orthogonal with that of a needle at some space. CONSTITUTION:A sliding hole 21 extending crosswise is formed in a housing body 1 at the sideway vicinity in a plunger hole 11. Accordingly, an axis of this sliding hole 21, where an overflow valve 22 is slidably inserted thereinto, is made so as to be paralleled with a straight line almost orthogonal with a common axis of a plunger and a needle 7 at some space. With this constitution, since the sliding hole 21 can be set up adjacently in a fuel pressure chamber 15, capacity of this fuel pressure chamber 15 inclusive of a fuel overflow passage 27 can be made smaller. Consequently, fuel pressure in the fuel pressure chamber 15 can be made into high pressure so easily, while the fuel pressure in the fuel pressure chamber 15 can be lowered at once when the overflow valve 22 is opened. In addition, breadth of a unit injection is narrowable.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To accurately measure the injection quantity of a fuel injection valve in a state close to an actual operation state under wide-range conditions by measuring the displacement of a member due to an increased in the volume of an injection chamber corresponding to the injection quantity of liquid fuel. CONSTITUTION:A back pressure chamber 50 is supplied with gas of pressure corresponding to measurement conditions from a reservoir tank through a pressurized passage 70. The injection chamber 28 is filled with light oil, whose amount is so adjusted through a valve 31 that a partition plate 42 and a buffer member 44 float in the chamber 28 without contacting the inside of a lower body 24. Consequently, the chambers 28 and 50 are held at the same pressure. When the light oil is injected from the injection opening 26 of the injection valve 20, the amount of the light oil in the chamber 28 increases by the injection amount to move the partition late 42 to the right. A displacement sensor 52 detects the displacement quantity of the partition plate 42. Then the light oil is discharged to the tank after the injection amount is measured until the position of the partition plate 42 detected by the sensor 52 is within a specific range before the injection.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent mixing of foam into working oil in a cylinder chamber and to prevent leakage of working oil, by encapsulating non-compressive fluid in an enclosed chamber in a sealing member and a cylinder chamber between pistons. CONSTITUTION:First annular flexible sealing member 11 is arranged around a projecting portion of a large diameter piston 4 with one end thereof being secured hermetically onto the outer wall face of cylinder housing 1. The other end of the first sealing member 11 is secured onto the outer wall face of the projecting portion of the large diameter piston 4, and one end of second annular flexible sealing member 12 is secured hermetically onto the outer wall face of the cylinder housing 1 while surrounding the projecting portion of a small diameter piston 5 from the cylinder housing 1 with the other end thereof being secured hermetically to the small diameter piston 5. Furthermore, non- compressive fluid is encapsulated in enclosed chambers 13, 14 and a cylinder chamber. With such arrangement, working oil is not mixed with foam and does not leak to the outside.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the extent of responsiveness in fuel injection as well as to make a piezoelectric actuator compact in size, by tightly installing this piezoelectric actuator so as to cause the sliding direction of an overflow valve and its own expansion direction to accord with each other, and installing a rod and a transfer pressure chamber between this actuator and the overflow valve. CONSTITUTION:Impressed voltage onto a piezoelectric actuator 7 is turned on or off whereby this piezoelectric actuator 7 is expanded or contracted. This telescopic motion is transmitted to a rod 97 via a transfer pressure chamber 99. Since a diameter of this rod 97 is smaller than that of an end face of an actuator piston 87 of the piezoelectric actuator 7, if an end face at the side of the piston 87 of the piezoelectric actuator 7 is pressed by the piston 87, an end face at the side of the rod 97 of the transfer pressure chamber 99 is pressed and moved by the magnified displacement. On the other hand, the rod 97 is made contact with an overflow valve 71 so that it transmits this magnified displacement to the overflow valve 71. In addition, since a sliding direction of the overflow valve 71 and an expansion direction of the piezoelectric actuator 7 are accorded with each other, transfer force to the overflow valve 71 is transmittable with no loss.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To secure optimum fuel all the time and restrain a noise from occurring as well as to improve output and fuel consumption, by controlling fuel pressure in a fuel passage in excellent responsiveness according to a driving state. CONSTITUTION:The fuel passed through a flow regulating valve 15 from a fuel reservoir tank 17 is fed to a fuel injection valve 8 via a fuel supply passage having a constant volumetric accumulator 12 from a fuel supply pump 14. Here an electronic control circuit 70 sets desired pressure inside the fuel supply passage on the basis of each signal out of a crank angle sensor 84 or a driving state detecting device, a supercharging pressure sensor 76, a water temperature sensor 77 and a load sensor 79, and controls the flow regulating valve 15 on the basis of the detected result of a fuel pressure sensor 75. With this constitution, fuel pressure inside the fuel passage is responsively controlled to the desired pressure, thus the fuel to be sprayed out of the fuel injection valve 8 is optimally controllable according to the driving state.
