Abstract
In a fuel injection valve, a flow-out passage is provided on a downstream side thereof with an out-orifice. The out-orifice is provided around a periphery of an inlet opening thereof with an inlet circumferential edge with which a flow of fuel to be ejected from a pressure control chamber via the out-orifice is swirled so that turbulent flow is forcibly formed. Then, the turbulent flow is maintained until the fuel is ejected. Dimensions of the out-orifice satisfy the formulas, R/D≦0.2 and L/D≦1.2, where R is corner radius of the inlet circumferential edge of the out-orifice, D is inner diameter thereof and L is axial length thereof. Accordingly, fuel injection is stable with less fuel amount fluctuation in each cycle even when fuel pressure and temperature are relatively low.
