摘要:
A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine is provided which has a fuel supply path and a nozzle chamber. The fuel supply path extends a spray hole. The nozzle chamber is defined in the fuel supply path. A nozzle is disposed within the nozzle chamber to establish or block a fluid communication between the fuel supply path and the spray hole. A fuel pressure sensor is installed in the fuel injector so as to be exposed to the fuel in the nozzle chamber. Specifically, the fuel pressure sensor is located closer to the spray hole than a prior art structure in which the fuel pressure sensor is installed in a fuel supply pipe, thus resulting in increased accuracy in measuring a change in pressure of the fuel arising from the spraying of the fuel from the spray hole.

A fuel pressure sensor/sensor mount assembly in which a fuel pressure sensor is so mounted as to exposed to a high-pressure fuel path through which fuel is supplied to a fuel injector, a fuel injection apparatus equipped with a built-in fuel pressure sensor, and a pressure sensing apparatus working to measure the pressure of fuel in a fuel injector are provided. The fuel pressure sensor/sensor mount assembly is disposed between the high-pressure fuel path and the fuel injector, thus permitting the size of the fuel injector to be minimized without sacrificing the accuracy in measuring the pressure of the fuel. The fuel injection apparatus and the a pressure sensing apparatus are designed to ensure desired accuracy in measuring the pressure of the fuel.

An injector having an injector body, in which a housing opening and a communication hale are provided, includes a supporting member fixed to an actuator, which includes a lead-wire supporting portion that supports ends of lead wires and a plate portion formed integrally with the lead-wire supporting portion. A thickness of the plate portion is smaller than that of the lead-wire supporting portion, and multiple trench portions are provided on a surface of the plate portion so that the plate portion can be easily bent. While the supporting member passes through the housing opening, the lead wires straight move. After an end portion of the supporting member contacts the communication hole, external force is applied to the end portion to bend the plate portion, and thereby the lead wires are bent while moving in the communication hole.

It is used with a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine which supplies fuel to an injector (fuel injection valve) from a common rail (accumulator) through a high-pressure pipe to spray the fuel from a spray hole formed in the injector. A thin-walled portion 70bz is formed in a path member (e.g., an injector body 4z, the high-pressure pipe, or a connector 70z connecting the injector and the high-pressure pipe) and defined by a locally thin wall of the path member. A strain gauge 60z (strain sensor) is affixed to the thin-walled portion 70bz to measure strain of the thin-walled portion 70bz arising from the pressure of fuel in a high-pressure fuel path 70az.

It is equipped with an injector body 4z which has formed therein high-pressure paths 6az, 6bz, and 6cz through which high-pressure fuel flows to a spray hole and stores therein a piezo-actuator 2z (i.e., an opening/closing mechanism) and a back-pressure control mechanism 3z (i.e., an opening/closing mechanism) which open or close the spray hole, and a fuel pressure sensor 50z installed in the body 4z to measure the pressure of the high-pressure fuel. The body 4z has formed therein a branch path 6ez diverging from the high-pressure paths 6bz and 6cz to deliver the high-pressure fuel to the fuel pressure sensor 50z.

The injector body 4z which forms therein the high-pressure paths 6az, 6hz, and 6cz through which high-pressure fuel flows to a spray hole and has disposed therein the piezo-actuator 2z (drive means) to drive a needle (valve) to open or close the spray hole, the fuel pressure sensor 50z which is installed in the body 4z to measure the pressure of the high-pressure fuel, the sensor terminals 55z to output a measured pressure value from the fuel pressure sensor 50z externally, the drive terminals 56z to which the electric power for the piezo-actuator 2z is supplied, and the connector housing 70z retaining the sensor terminals 55z and the drive terminals 56z are provided. The sensor terminals 55z, the drive terminals 56z, and the connector housing 70z constitute a single connector.

Specifically, the stain gauge 52z is installed on the stem 51z that is constructed as being separate from the body 4z.
