A vehicle includes an engine, a generator, and a motor. The engine burns a gaseous mixture in a cylinder to output a drive force. The generator generates electricity by being rotated by the drive force outputted from the engine. The motor drives by utilizing electric power generated by the generator or electric power that has accumulated in a battery charged with electric power generated by the generator, and the motor thereby outputs a vehicle-running drive force. A case covering the motor is of larger diameter than a case covering a differential. The motor has an output shaft outputting the vehicle-running drive force, and has the output shaft disposed parallel to a vehicle width direction. The generator is disposed such that part of the generator overlaps an upper section of the case covering the differential.

Vehicle

The present invention is provided with a configuration which makes it possible to inhibit contact between an oil (L) and a gas in an oil pan () properly. The oil pan () according to the present invention contains a film (S) which covers an oil surface (F) of the oil (L) to separate the stored oil (L) and the gas above the oil (L). The film (S) can float by receiving buoyancy in the oil (L). The film (S) may be formed of a liquid. The film also may be configured by a film member.

Oil pan

A fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder that is formed in a cylinder block, a fuel injection valve and a fuel passage that supplies fuel to the fuel injection valve, includes a portion of the fuel passage that is formed as a delivery pipe that is embedded in a cylinder head and is joined to an upper portion of the cylinder block. The fuel injection valve is positioned so that it intersects the delivery pipe and receives the supply of fuel from the side at a portion that intersects with the delivery pipe, and a sealing member is positioned at the joint portion between the delivery pipe and the fuel injection valve.

Fuel supply device for internal combustion engine

The fuel injection valve according to the present invention is a fuel injection valve adapted to inject a swirl flow of a high-pressure fuel from an injection port thereof. The injection port includes a fuel inlet portion and a fuel outlet portion. The fuel inlet portion has a cylindrical bore. In the fuel outlet portion, a circumference of an inlet thereof is joined to that of an outlet of the cylindrical bore, and the fuel outlet portion has a cross-sectionally elliptic chamfered part diverging from the inlet thereof to the outlet thereof. A depth of the chamfered part is set &frac14; to 2 times as large as a diameter of the fuel inlet portion.

Fuel injection valve

An injector comprises an injection nozzle,having a nozzle hole,, a valve body,for controlling a fuel flow through the nozzle hole,, and changing means,for changing a shape of fuel spray, the fuel spray being formed by the fuel which flows through the nozzle hole. The injector includes rotation preventing means for preventing the valve body,from rotating with respect to the injection nozzle,around a center axis of the valve body,. The injector includes angular displacement controlling means for controlling an angular displacement of the valve body,with respect to the injection nozzle,. A shape of a tip of the valve body,is circumferencially non-uniform.
