FUEL INJECTION NOZZLE

摘要

In a fuel injection nozzle for an internal combustion engine, a first cavity (32) is disposed downstream of a valve seat (12) in a direction in which fuel flows. A second cavity (36) is disposed downstream of the first cavity (32) in the direction in which the fuel flows. A fuel passage (34) connects the first cavity (32) to the second cavity (36). Fuel injection holes (24) lead to the second cavity (36). With this configuration, when the fuel flows through the first fuel passage (34), cavitation is induced. Cavitation bubbles flow into the second cavity (36) along with the fuel. When the fuel is retained in the second cavity (36), the cavitation bubbles are uniformly mixed into the fuel. The fuel, which has been sufficiently mixed with the cavitation bubbles, is injected from the fuel injection holes (24).
