Abstract:
A solenoid valve provided with a valve element that abuts against and separates from a valve seat to seal fuel; a movable iron core capable of being separated from the valve element; and a fixed iron core arranged opposed to the movable iron core. The solenoid valve also includes: a first spring member that energizes the valve element toward a side of the valve seat; a second spring member that energizes the movable iron core toward the fixed iron core; and a stopper part disposed on the side of the valve seat with respect to the movable iron core, and arranged with the movable iron core via a gap in a displacement direction in a valve closed state. The gap is set so the movable iron core collides with the stopper part when being displaced in the valve closing direction after the valve element is opened.

At least one lower rigidity part having reduced rigidity per axial unit length is provided between a surface where urging force of the elastic member is transmitted to the valve element and a seat part whereat the valve element comes into contact with and separates from the valve seat.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel injector which can promote convergence of a motion of a valve body while a valve is opened and promote stabilization of an injection amount. In the present invention, a fuel injector includes a movable iron core 404, a fixed iron core 401, a first spring member 405, a second spring member 406, contact portions 102c and 404b′, and a gap g1. The movable iron core 404 is provided relatively displaceable to a valve body 102. The fixed iron core 401 is opposed to the movable iron core 404. The first spring member 405 energizes the valve body 102 in a valve closing direction. The second spring member 406 energizes the movable iron core 404 in a valve closing direction. The contact portions 102c and 404b′ are in contact with each other in a case where the movable iron core 404 displaces in a valve opening direction with respect to the valve body 102. The gap g1 is formed between the contact portions 102c and 404b′ in a valve closing state. In a state in which the movable iron core 404 and the valve body 102 move in different directions after the movable iron core 404 collides with the fixed iron core 401 while a valve is opened, a spring force is not applied between the movable iron core 404 and the valve body 102.

Provided are an electromagnetic valve control unit and a fuel injection control device using the same that can precisely detect a change of an operating state of an electromagnetic valve, that is, a valve opening time or a valve closing time of the electromagnetic valve, precisely correct a drive voltage or a drive current applied to the electromagnetic valve, and appropriately control opening/closing of the electromagnetic valve, with a simple configuration. In an electromagnetic valve control unit for controlling opening/closing of an electromagnetic valve by a drive voltage and a drive current to be applied, the drive voltage and the drive current applied to the electromagnetic valve are corrected on the basis of a detection time of an inflection point from time series data of the drive voltage and the drive current when the electromagnetic valve is opened/closed.
Abstract:
In a fuel injection valve, it is possible to obtain spray in which the penetrating force of injected fuel is suppressed.The fuel injection valve includes a valve seat that forms a gap with a valve body, the gap allowing fuel to pass therethrough, and multiple injection holes that are located further downstream from the gap. The fuel to which pressure is applied flows out from the injection holes.When the flow velocity of the fuel in the gap formed between the valve body and the valve seat is indicated by meters per second, the flow velocity is set to be greater than a value obtained by multiplying the square root of the pressure applied to the fuel by 28. In this manner, the flow velocity in the gap increases, and flow velocity distribution inside the injection hole is uniformized, thereby suppressing an increase in penetration.
