摘要:
A fuel injection valve of a diesel engine, comprising a valve body including a concave conical surface in the tip portion of the valve body, and fuel injection holes extending from the concave surface to the outside of the valve body, and a needle valve movable in the valve body and including a cylindrical shaft portion, a first conical surface adjacent to the shaft portion and having a conical angle smaller than that of the concave surface, the lower edge of the first conical surface defining a contact line separably contacting with the concave surface, a second conical surface adjacent to the first surface and having a conical angle substantially equal to that of the concave surface, a third conical surface adjacent to the second surface and having a conical angle greater than that of the concave surface. In case of a smaller lift amount of the needle valve, the fuel flow speed flowing into the fuel injection hole is fast and the atomized fuel injection divergence angle from the injection hole is great, thereby producing active producing mixing of the fuel with the air and enhancing the ignition feature, while in case of a greater lift amount, the fuel flow speed is slow and the atomized fuel injection divergence angle from the injection hole is small, thereby increasing the fuel flow reach and producing an active mixing of the fuel with the air by virtue of the kinetic energy of the atomized fuel flow.
