- the needle 32 is slidably disposed in the nozzle body 31, forms a fuel introduction path 36 with the nozzle body 31, and sits on a seat portion 35 in the nozzle body 31.
- An adjustment chamber 37 for storing fuel is formed at the front end side of the fuel introduction path 36.

- the fuel passage 38 is formed at a position farther from the shaft of the needle 32 than the outer peripheral surface 321 of the needle 32.
- the fuel passage 38 is not provided in the needle 32 located on the center side of the fuel injection valve 30 but in the nozzle body 31 located on the outer peripheral side of the fuel injection valve 30.
- the fuel passage 38 is formed on the upstream side (base end side) of the seat portion 35, and imparts a flow swirling around the needle 32 to the fuel introduced from the fuel introduction passage 36 and supplied to the injection hole 33. .
- downstream side of the fuel passage 38 is formed along the hemispherical surface hs.

- an acceleration portion 39 is formed between the sheet portion 35 and the injection hole 33 inside the nozzle body 31.
- the acceleration unit 39 accelerates the swirling fuel after passing through the fuel passage 38. Since the inner diameter of the nozzle body 31 between the seat portion 35 where the acceleration portion 39 is located and the injection hole 33 is continuously reduced from the seat portion 35 toward the injection hole 33, the flow path through which the fuel passes is restricted. It is done. For this reason, the fuel which passes through the acceleration part 39 accelerates.

Since the fuel passing through the fuel passage 38 passes through the spirally formed passage, a flow swirling along the spiral is generated. Further, the fuel flow having the swirl component is accelerated in the acceleration unit 39 in which the flow path is narrowed.
- FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the vicinity of the injection hole 33 of the fuel injection valve 30 in an enlarged manner.
- a strong swirling flow fs is formed in the nozzle hole 33 and the accelerating portion 39, and a negative pressure is generated at the center where the strong swirling flow fs swirls.
- negative pressure is generated, air outside the nozzle body 31 is sucked into the nozzle body 31, and an air column p is generated in the injection hole 33 and the acceleration unit 39. Bubbles are generated from the interface of the generated air column p. The generated bubbles are mixed into the fuel flowing around the air column, and are injected together with the fuel flow f 1 flowing on the outer peripheral side as the bubble mixed flow f 2 .
- the fuel flow f 1 and the bubble mixed flow f 2 form a cone-shaped spray s that diffuses from the center due to the centrifugal force of the swirling flow. Accordingly, since the diameter of the spray s increases as the distance from the nozzle hole 33 increases, the spray liquid film is stretched and thinned, and eventually cannot be maintained as a liquid film and is split. Thereafter, the spray after the splitting is reduced in diameter by the self-pressurizing effect of the fine bubbles, collapses and becomes an ultrafine spray. Thus, since the spray of the fuel injected by the fuel injection valve 30 is atomized, rapid flame propagation in the combustion chamber is realized, and stable combustion is performed.
- the fuel injection valve 30 includes the spiral fuel passage 38 formed away from the axis of the needle 32 rather than the side surface of the needle 32, thereby providing a powerful swirl component in the fuel flow. Is granted. As a result, the fuel spray is atomized and the stable combustion is realized without increasing the size of the needle 32.
- the following advantages can be obtained by suppressing an increase in the weight of the needle 32. That is, when the needle is heavy, the responsiveness with respect to the operation of the needle is poor. However, if the needle 32 is lightweight as in this embodiment, the responsiveness is good. In particular, when fuel is intermittently injected, the excessive response is greatly improved. Furthermore, if the responsiveness is good, a swirling flow can be generated promptly even when the needle 32 starts to lift at the start of injection, so that a spray containing bubbles can be generated from the start of injection and the fuel can be atomized. In particular, since the downstream side of the fuel passage 38 is formed along the hemispherical surface, a swirling flow is generated immediately after the needle valve is opened, so that a spray containing fine bubbles can be injected immediately after the start of injection.
- the clearance between the needle 32 and the needle guide 34 can be reduced. If the clearance is small, the inflow of fuel is suppressed, so that the pressure applied to the fuel introduced into the spiral fuel passage 38 can be reduced. Thereby, the pressure loss of the fuel is reduced, the driving loss of the fuel pump is reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
- the needle 32 is lightweight, the power consumption required to drive the needle 32 can be suppressed. Moreover, since the fuel injection valve itself can be prevented from being enlarged, it can be mounted on a small engine.
- the coiled spiral member is supported by the adjustment chamber 37 and the injection hole 33, cast by the lost wax method, and the coiled spiral member disappears.
- the fuel passage 38 can be formed as a hollow portion.

- the outer peripheral surface of the swirling flow generating member 60 is processed on a normal line of a hemisphere having a center on the axis of the needle 32, and the spiral groove 63 is formed with a certain depth. Accordingly, the cross-sectional area of the spiral fuel passage 58 is constant at any position in the passage, and the fuel contraction is suppressed. For this reason, the flow resistance in the fuel passage 58 is reduced, and a decrease in fuel pressure is suppressed.
- downstream side of the spiral groove 63 of the swirling flow generating member 60 is formed along the hemispherical surface hs. For this reason, the downstream side where the fuel flows in the fuel passage 58 is formed along the hemispherical surface, so that the spiral radius of the fuel passage 58 gradually decreases. Since the spiral radius gradually decreases in this way, the flow in the direction in which the fuel swirls is efficiently formed until it passes through the outlet on the seat portion 35 side.
- the fuel injection valve 50 includes a spiral fuel passage 58 formed outside the outer peripheral surface of the needle 32, thereby imparting a powerful swirl component to the fuel flow. Therefore, the fuel spray is atomized and the stable combustion is realized without increasing the size of the needle 32 as in the fuel injection valve 30 of the first embodiment.
