Responsiveness of an electromagnetic flow-rate control valve provided for closing a suction valve is improved and a discharge flow rate is controlled to a desired value. A flow-rate control valve includes a fixed core arranged on an inner circumferential side of a coil, a yoke arranged on an outer circumferential side of the coil, and a cover portion opposed to the coil in an axial direction, in which the fixed core has an enlarged portion in contact with the cover portion in the axial direction and enlarging toward the coil, and the cover portion is regulated in the axial direction only by a contact portion with the fixed core.

Flow rate control valve and high-pressure fuel supply pump

An objective of the present invention is to provide a fuel rail that can be used at a high fuel pressure of 50 MPa or more, for example, has good engine mountability, and has improved material yield. The present invention is regarding a fuel rail including a main pipe portionextending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of distribution pipe portions, andbranching from the main pipe portion in a cross direction, in a fuel supply system in which a fuel compressed by a fuel pump passes through a fuel passage hole of the fuel rail fixed to an engine trough a bracket or a stay, the fuel is supplied to injectors, and the fuel is injected into the engine, the present invention is to cut and form the main pipe portionand the plurality of distribution pipe portions, andfrom a same single-sheet plate, the single-sheet plate being a plane plate or a flat plate having an irregular shape in cross section, and to seamlessly configure a main pipe hole, distribution pipe holes, and, and injector attaching holes, and, without joints.

Fuel rail and method of manufacturing same

In a fuel injection valve used for an internal combustion engine, a valve closing lag time due to fluid resistance in a fuel path is shortened to decrease a minimum injection limit. More specifically, in the fuel injection valve in which an anchor is attracted to an end face part of a stationary core having a fuel path formed at a center part thereof by means of electromagnetic force, and in which a fuel injection hole is opened and closed by controlling a valve disc driven in conjunction with the anchor, there are provided a fuel reservoir part at a center part of an upper end face part of the anchor, a through hole extending axially in a fashion that an end part thereof is open to the fuel reservoir part, and a fuel path extending radially outward from the fuel reservoir part so that fuel is fed to a magnetic attraction gap between an upper end face part of the anchor and a lower end face part of the stationary core. Further, an opening part of a through hole that is open to an upper end face part of the anchor is at least partially opposed to a fuel introduction bore formed in the stationary core, and on the opening part of the through hole, a fuel introduction part is provided for capturing fuel running radially outward from a center side part of the anchor and for guiding the fuel thus captured to the through hole.

Fuel injection valve

In relation to injectors used for internal-combustion engines, it is important to decrease valve closing delay time and also the minimum injection quantity, while these are affected by remanent magnetism in the fixed core, surface tension of the fuel, etc. With reference to a fuel injection valve with a pipe-shaped member to enclose a fixed core and a movable part and further with coils and yokes to cover up the above pipe-shaped member, the anchor to drive the movable member has a plurality of through holes for fuel passage extending in the axial direction, while these through holes are arranged at a certain intervals in the circumferential direction, and projections formed to constitute a contacting surface to touch the fixed core arranged randomly in between the through holes.

A fuel injector comprises a movable element, a seat contact surface formed at one end of the movable element, a nozzle member having a valve seat. The seat contact surface of the movable element is in contact with and seated on at the time of valve closing. A nozzle holder portion holds a periphery of the nozzle member. A plastic deformation portion is formed by engaging one of a part of the nozzle member and a part of the nozzle holder portion in the other one of the part of the nozzle member. The nozzle member and the nozzle holder portion are joined by welding.

Fuel injector and its stroke adjustment method

The problems can be solved by ensuring that Ga&#x2266;Gb&#x3c;Gc or Ga&#x3c;Gb&#x2266;Gc, wherein Ga denotes a clearing between the bore on the portion from the compression chamber of the high pressure pump to the cylindrical groove and the plunger, where a transverse aperture is connected with the bore through a cylindrical groove provided halfway through the bore of a cylinder; Gb a clearance closer to the cylindrical groove, out of the clearances between the bore from the cylindrical groove to the drive source side and the plunger; and Gc a clearance closer to the drive source side, out of the clearances between the bore from the cylindrical groove to the drive source side and the plunger.

High pressure pump and manufacturing process thereof

A fuel swirler positioned upstream of an injection orifice is disposed at the tip of a nozzle body in a fuel injector, in which the fixed core and the nozzle body are coupled to each other via a non-magnetic cylindrical seal ring press-fitted and welded to the outer circumference of one end on the nozzle body side of the fixed core and the inner circumference of one end of the nozzle body. The inner circumference of the fuel swirler and the inner circumference of the seal ring function serve as a guide for slidably guiding a stroke movement of the needle. The fuel swirler is held between the receiving surface of the nozzle body and the orifice plate, thus defining an annular fuel passage between the outer circumference of the fuel swirler and the inner circumference of the nozzle body, so that fuel flows into a passage groove formed at the lower end surface of the fuel swirler via the annular fuel passage. A mass movable in an axial direction independently of the needle is interposed between the return spring and the needle, and a plate spring is interposed between the mass and the needle.
