Fuel injection valve of direct injection engine

摘要

A fuel injection device of a direct injection engine is provided. The device includes an engine body, a fuel injection valve, and a controller for controlling a fuel injection by the fuel injection valve. The fuel injection valve has a nozzle hole, a valve body for opening and closing the nozzle hole, and first and solenoid coils for stroking the valve body by first and second stroke amounts, respectively. The controller performs the fuel injection by the first solenoid coil in an intake stroke period within an engine operating range with an engine load below a predetermined load. The controller performs the fuel injection with a fuel pressure of 40 MPa or above by the second solenoid coil in a period between a compression stroke late stage and an expansion stroke early stage within a low-engine-speed range with an engine speed below a predetermined speed and within a high-engine-load range.

主权项

1. A fuel injection valve of a direct injection engine for directly injecting fuel containing gasoline into a cylinder of the engine, comprising:
a valve body with a nozzle hole, facing inside the cylinder, formed at a tip thereof; a cylindrical case arranged inside the valve body and forming a fuel passage by an inner circumferential surface of the case; a cylindrical fixed core having a fitting portion fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical case, so that a fuel pressure acts on portions of the fixed core other than the fitting portion of the fixed core; a needle body provided inside the fixed core for opening and closing the nozzle hole, configured to be moved in a cylinder axial direction by at least one movable core; the at least one movable core movably provided inside the case in the cylinder axial direction and for driving the needle body to open and close, so that the needle body is movably provided inside the fixed core; a solenoid coil arranged inside the valve body and outside the case and configured for attracting the at least one movable core by forming a magnetic circuit over the inside and outside of the case when power is supplied to the solenoid coil, so that the needle body opens the nozzle hole; and a reinforcing member arranged inside the valve body and fitted externally onto the case, wherein a maximum fuel pressure inside the fuel passage is set to a high fuel pressure of 40 MPa or above.
