Description

本発明は、ディーゼル機関等の内燃機関に用いられる燃料噴射装置及びディーゼル機関に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a fuel injection device used in an internal combustion engine such as a diesel engine and a diesel engine.

燃料噴射装置は、ディーゼル機関等の内燃機関のシリンダヘッドに設けられ、燃料噴射装置のハウジングの先端部が燃焼室内に突出している。ハウジングの先端部には、燃料噴射孔が形成され、ハウジングの内部には、ニードル弁が設置されている。ニードル弁は、ハウジング内に供給される燃料油の油圧によって弁座から離れて開弁し、燃料噴射孔に燃料油が供給される。その結果、燃料噴射孔から燃料油が燃焼室内へ噴射する。燃焼室では、燃料油が空気と混合し着火することで火炎が形成され、燃焼室全体に火炎が広がっていく。
特許文献1には、弁のシャフトの先端に、噴霧器内の中心穴内に嵌合する二つの筒状部分を有するカットオフ部材が設けられることが記載されている。二つの筒状部材は、下側に位置する第一の筒状部分及び上側に位置する第二の筒状部分からなる。
The fuel injection device is provided in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine such as a diesel engine, and a front end portion of the housing of the fuel injection device protrudes into the combustion chamber. A fuel injection hole is formed at the tip of the housing, and a needle valve is installed inside the housing. The needle valve is opened away from the valve seat by the hydraulic pressure of the fuel oil supplied into the housing, and the fuel oil is supplied to the fuel injection hole. As a result, fuel oil is injected from the fuel injection hole into the combustion chamber. In the combustion chamber, the fuel oil is mixed with air and ignited to form a flame, and the flame spreads throughout the combustion chamber.
Patent Document 1 describes that a cutoff member having two cylindrical portions that fit into a central hole in a sprayer is provided at the tip of a valve shaft. Two cylindrical members consist of the 1st cylindrical part located in the lower side, and the 2nd cylindrical part located in the upper side.

特表2010−512484号公報Special table 2010-512484 gazette

特許文献1に記載された燃料噴射器は、上側に位置する第二の群のノズル穴に対して、カットオフ部材の第二の筒状部分の外周面と、噴霧器の軸芯に形成された中心穴の内周面との間の通路を介して、燃料油を供給する。一方、弁棒が閉塞位置にあるときには、第二の筒状部分の周囲が中心穴内に嵌合することで、第二の群のノズル穴への燃料供給が遮断される。   The fuel injector described in Patent Document 1 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion of the cutoff member and the axial center of the sprayer with respect to the second group of nozzle holes located on the upper side. Fuel oil is supplied through a passage between the inner peripheral surface of the center hole. On the other hand, when the valve stem is in the closed position, the periphery of the second cylindrical portion is fitted into the center hole, so that the fuel supply to the nozzle holes of the second group is blocked.

ところで、特許文献1に記載された燃料噴射器では、第一の筒状部分と第二の筒状部分の間に環状の凹部が形成されている。しかし、弁棒が閉塞位置にあるとき、環状の凹部は、第二の群のノズル穴と連通している。そのため、弁を閉鎖しているときであっても、環状の凹部に溜まった燃料油が第二のノズル穴を伝ってしまい、燃焼室に燃料油が供給されるという後垂れが発生する。すなわち、環状の凹部が形成されていることによって、燃料噴射器のサックボリュームが増加する。   By the way, in the fuel injector described in Patent Literature 1, an annular recess is formed between the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion. However, when the valve stem is in the closed position, the annular recess communicates with the second group of nozzle holes. For this reason, even when the valve is closed, the fuel oil accumulated in the annular recess travels through the second nozzle hole, and a trailing sag occurs in which the fuel oil is supplied to the combustion chamber. That is, the formation of the annular recess increases the sack volume of the fuel injector.

また、特許文献1に記載された燃料噴射器では、弁棒が開放位置にあるとき、第二の筒状部分は、中心穴との嵌合が外れ、第一の筒状部分のみが中心穴内に嵌合している。そのため、弁棒のシャフトのスライドが不安定になりやすい。そして、弁棒が閉塞位置へ移動する際、第二の筒状部分が中心穴の内周面と接触して嵌合するため、シャフトが損傷しやすくなる。   Further, in the fuel injector described in Patent Document 1, when the valve stem is in the open position, the second cylindrical portion is disengaged from the center hole, and only the first cylindrical portion is in the center hole. Is fitted. For this reason, the slide of the shaft of the valve stem tends to become unstable. When the valve stem moves to the closed position, the second cylindrical portion comes into contact with and fits with the inner peripheral surface of the center hole, so that the shaft is easily damaged.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、弁の閉鎖時に燃焼室に供給される燃料油の量を低減することが可能な燃料噴射装置及びディーゼル機関を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a fuel injection device and a diesel engine capable of reducing the amount of fuel oil supplied to a combustion chamber when a valve is closed. Objective.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明の燃料噴射装置及びディーゼル機関は以下の手段を採用する。
すなわち、本発明に係る燃料噴射装置は、内部に燃料供給路が形成され、先端部に燃料噴射孔が形成されるハウジングと、前記ハウジングの内部に配置され、燃料油圧に応じて前記燃料供給路を開閉するニードル弁と、前記ニードル弁の先端に設けられ、外周面が前記ハウジングの内周面と接触して摺動するスプール弁と、前記ハウジングの内周面において前記燃料噴射孔と異なる位置に形成され、前記燃料供給路に連通する溝部とを備え、前記スプール弁には燃料油が流通する燃料油導入空間が形成され、前記燃料供給路の開放時に、前記燃料油導入空間が前記溝部と連通し、かつ、前記燃料油導入空間が前記燃料噴射孔と連通する位置に移動し、前記燃料供給路の閉鎖時に、前記スプール弁の外周面が前記燃料噴射孔に面し、前記燃料油導入空間が前記燃料噴射孔と連通しない位置に移動する。
In order to solve the above problems, the fuel injection device and the diesel engine of the present invention employ the following means.
That is, the fuel injection device according to the present invention includes a housing in which a fuel supply passage is formed and a fuel injection hole is formed at a tip portion, and the fuel supply passage that is disposed in the housing and is arranged in accordance with fuel hydraulic pressure. A needle valve that opens and closes, a spool valve that is provided at the tip of the needle valve, and whose outer peripheral surface slides in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the housing, and a position different from the fuel injection hole on the inner peripheral surface of the housing And a fuel oil introduction space through which fuel oil flows is formed in the spool valve, and when the fuel supply path is opened, the fuel oil introduction space is formed in the groove portion. The fuel oil introduction space moves to a position where it communicates with the fuel injection hole, and when the fuel supply passage is closed, the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve faces the fuel injection hole, It moved to a position where entrance space is not the fuel injection hole and communicating.

この構成によれば、燃料供給路の開放時、溝部から導入される燃料油がスプール弁の燃料油導入空間を介して燃料噴射孔から噴射する。一方、燃料供給路の閉鎖時、ニードル弁の外周面が燃料噴射孔に面しつつ、燃料油導入空間は、燃料噴射孔には連通していないことから、噴射孔は、燃料導入空間から燃料が供給されることが無い。そのため、ニードル弁が閉鎖しているときに、燃料油導入空間に溜まった燃料油が燃料噴射孔を伝って、燃焼室に燃料油が供給されるという後垂れが生じない。   According to this configuration, when the fuel supply path is opened, the fuel oil introduced from the groove portion is injected from the fuel injection hole through the fuel oil introduction space of the spool valve. On the other hand, when the fuel supply passage is closed, the outer peripheral surface of the needle valve faces the fuel injection hole, and the fuel oil introduction space does not communicate with the fuel injection hole. Will not be supplied. Therefore, when the needle valve is closed, the fuel oil accumulated in the fuel oil introduction space does not sag because the fuel oil is supplied to the combustion chamber through the fuel injection hole.

上記発明において、前記スプール弁の上部外周面が、前記燃料供給路の開閉動作において、常に前記ハウジングの内周面に接触することが望ましい。   In the above invention, it is desirable that the upper outer peripheral surface of the spool valve always contacts the inner peripheral surface of the housing during the opening / closing operation of the fuel supply passage.

この構成によれば、燃料供給路の開閉動作によって、スプール弁の外周面がハウジングの内周面と接触して摺動する際、スプール弁のうち燃料油導入空間の上部に位置する外周面が常にハウジングの内周面に接触している。また、燃料供給路の開放時、燃料油が溝部からスプール弁の燃料油導入空間に導入される。その結果、ニードル弁は、スプール弁に凹状の燃料油導入空間が形成されている場合でも、燃料油導入空間の上部の外周面によって、ハウジングに支持されているため、ニードル弁の挙動が安定化する。また、スプール弁の外周面がハウジングの内周面に常に接触しているため、接触と非接触が繰り返されることによる損傷が発生しにくい。   According to this configuration, when the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve slides in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the housing by the opening / closing operation of the fuel supply passage, the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve positioned above the fuel oil introduction space is It is always in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the housing. Further, when the fuel supply path is opened, the fuel oil is introduced from the groove portion into the fuel oil introduction space of the spool valve. As a result, even when a concave fuel oil introduction space is formed in the spool valve, the needle valve is supported on the housing by the outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the fuel oil introduction space, so the behavior of the needle valve is stabilized. To do. Further, since the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve is always in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the housing, damage due to repeated contact and non-contact is unlikely to occur.

上記発明において、前記燃料油導入空間は、前記スプール弁にて環状に形成されてもよい。   In the above invention, the fuel oil introduction space may be formed in an annular shape by the spool valve.

この構成によれば、ハウジングにおいて燃料噴射孔が溝部と異なる位置に設けられており、かつ、燃料油導入空間がスプール弁の外周にて環状に形成されているため、燃料油が溝部から燃料油導入空間を介して噴射孔から噴射するまでの燃料油の流路抵抗は、ニードル弁の回転位置に関わらず一定である。すなわち、ニードル弁が軸線回りに回転した場合でも、燃料油の流路抵抗が変化せず、燃料油を安定して噴射できる。   According to this configuration, the fuel injection hole is provided in the housing at a position different from the groove portion, and the fuel oil introduction space is formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the spool valve. The flow resistance of the fuel oil until it is injected from the injection hole through the introduction space is constant regardless of the rotational position of the needle valve. That is, even when the needle valve rotates about the axis, the flow resistance of the fuel oil does not change, and the fuel oil can be stably injected.

これに対して、ハウジングに溝部を形成せず、例えばニードル弁のシャフトに軸方向に沿って溝を形成したり、スプール弁に軸方向に貫通孔を形成したりして、燃料油導入空間に燃料を供給する参考例が考えられる。しかし、この参考例の場合、ニードル弁の回転位置に応じて、燃料油導入空間に燃料油が導入される位置が、燃料噴射孔に近づいたり遠ざかったりするため、燃料油が燃料噴射孔から噴射するまでの流路抵抗が変化する。一方、本発明では、燃料油導入空間に燃料油が導入される位置(ハウジングに形成された溝部の位置)と燃料噴射孔の位置が一定であるため、燃料油の流路抵抗が変化しない。   On the other hand, without forming a groove in the housing, for example, by forming a groove along the axial direction in the shaft of the needle valve or by forming a through hole in the axial direction in the spool valve, A reference example of supplying fuel can be considered. However, in the case of this reference example, the position where the fuel oil is introduced into the fuel oil introduction space approaches or moves away from the fuel injection hole according to the rotational position of the needle valve, so that the fuel oil is injected from the fuel injection hole. The flow path resistance until it changes. On the other hand, in the present invention, since the position where the fuel oil is introduced into the fuel oil introduction space (the position of the groove formed in the housing) and the position of the fuel injection hole are constant, the flow resistance of the fuel oil does not change.

上記発明において、前記燃料噴射孔は、前記ハウジングにて軸方向に上段燃料噴射孔と下段燃料噴射孔が設けられ、前記スプール弁内部に、前記スプール弁の下方の空間に燃料を供給する燃料供給路が形成され、前記燃料供給路の開放時に、前記燃料油導入空間が前記溝部と連通し、かつ、前記燃料油導入空間が前記上段燃料噴射孔と連通する位置に移動するとともに前記スプール弁の下方の空間は、前記溝部と連通し、かつ、前記スプール弁の下方の空間が前記下段燃料噴射孔と連通してもよい。   In the above invention, the fuel injection hole is provided with an upper fuel injection hole and a lower fuel injection hole in the axial direction in the housing, and a fuel supply for supplying fuel to the space below the spool valve inside the spool valve When the fuel supply passage is opened, the fuel oil introduction space communicates with the groove, and the fuel oil introduction space moves to a position where it communicates with the upper fuel injection hole. The lower space may communicate with the groove, and the space below the spool valve may communicate with the lower fuel injection hole.

この構成によれば、燃料供給路の開放時に、溝部から導入される燃料油は、燃料油導入空間を介して上段燃料噴射孔から噴射し、同時に、スプール弁の下方の空間を介して下段燃料噴射孔から噴射する。燃料油導入空間とスプール弁の下方の空間とは、ハウジングの内周面に形成された溝部を介して連通していることから、上段燃料噴射孔と下段燃料噴射孔とから噴射される燃料油について、流路抵抗と噴射圧力を均一に維持できる。   According to this configuration, when the fuel supply path is opened, the fuel oil introduced from the groove portion is injected from the upper fuel injection hole through the fuel oil introduction space, and at the same time, the lower fuel is supplied through the space below the spool valve. Inject from the injection hole. Since the fuel oil introduction space and the space below the spool valve communicate with each other via a groove formed in the inner peripheral surface of the housing, the fuel oil injected from the upper fuel injection hole and the lower fuel injection hole The flow path resistance and the injection pressure can be maintained uniformly.

上記発明において、前記溝部は、前記ハウジングの内周面にて複数本形成され、複数本の前記溝部は、均等の間隔で前記ハウジングの内周面に設けられてもよい。   In the above invention, a plurality of the groove portions may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the housing, and the plurality of groove portions may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the housing at equal intervals.

この構成によれば、溝部に導入される燃料油によって、ニードル弁が反力を受ける際、溝部が均等に設けられているため、ニードル弁の位置の偏りが生じにくい。したがって、スプール弁がハウジングの内周面に押し付けられて、摺動面が損傷する可能性を低減できる。   According to this configuration, when the needle valve receives a reaction force due to the fuel oil introduced into the groove portion, the groove portion is evenly provided, so that the position of the needle valve is less likely to be biased. Therefore, the possibility that the spool valve is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the housing and the sliding surface is damaged can be reduced.

上記発明において、前記溝部と前記燃料噴射孔とは、前記燃料噴射孔の口径以上の間隔に保たれて形成されてもよい。   In the above invention, the groove portion and the fuel injection hole may be formed at a distance equal to or larger than the diameter of the fuel injection hole.

この構成によれば、ニードル弁の閉鎖時にて、前記溝部と前記燃料噴射孔との間で、燃料油がハウジングの内周面とスプール弁の外周面との隙間を通って燃料噴射孔から流出する可能性を低減できる。   According to this configuration, when the needle valve is closed, the fuel oil flows out from the fuel injection hole through the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the housing and the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve between the groove and the fuel injection hole. The possibility of doing so can be reduced.

本発明に係るディーゼル機関は、上述の燃料噴射装置をシリンダヘッドに備える。   The diesel engine which concerns on this invention equips a cylinder head with the above-mentioned fuel-injection apparatus.

この構成によれば、ディーゼル機関のシリンダヘッドに燃料噴射装置が備えられ、燃料噴射装置は、燃料供給路の開放時、溝部から導入される燃料油がスプール弁の燃料油導入空間を介して燃料噴射孔から噴射する。一方、燃料供給路の閉鎖時、ニードル弁の外周面が燃料噴射孔に面しつつ、燃料油導入空間は、燃料噴射孔には連通していないことから、噴射孔は、燃料導入空間から燃料が供給されることが無い。そのため、ニードル弁が閉鎖しているときに、燃料油導入空間に溜まった燃料油が燃料噴射孔を伝って、燃焼室に燃料油が供給されるという後垂れが生じない。   According to this configuration, the fuel injection device is provided in the cylinder head of the diesel engine, and the fuel injection device is configured such that when the fuel supply path is opened, the fuel oil introduced from the groove portion is fueled via the fuel oil introduction space of the spool valve. Inject from the injection hole. On the other hand, when the fuel supply passage is closed, the outer peripheral surface of the needle valve faces the fuel injection hole, and the fuel oil introduction space does not communicate with the fuel injection hole. Will not be supplied. Therefore, when the needle valve is closed, the fuel oil accumulated in the fuel oil introduction space does not sag because the fuel oil is supplied to the combustion chamber through the fuel injection hole.

本発明によれば、弁の閉鎖時に燃焼室に供給される燃料油の量を低減することができる。   According to the present invention, the amount of fuel oil supplied to the combustion chamber when the valve is closed can be reduced.

以下に、本発明に係る実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
[第1実施形態]
本発明の第1実施形態に係る燃料噴射装置10について説明する。燃料噴射装置10は、例えば2サイクル型の船舶用大型ディーゼル機関等の内燃機関に適用される。
燃料噴射装置10は、円筒形状を有するハウジング14が内燃機関のシリンダヘッド12に設置される。図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係る燃料噴射装置を示す概略図及び縦断面図であり、ニードル弁26の閉弁時を示す。図2は、ニードル弁26の閉弁時を示す。
Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
A fuel injection device 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The fuel injection device 10 is applied to an internal combustion engine such as a two-cycle marine large diesel engine.
In the fuel injection device 10, a cylindrical housing 14 is installed on a cylinder head 12 of an internal combustion engine. FIG. 1 is a schematic view and a longitudinal sectional view showing a fuel injection device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and shows a state in which a needle valve 26 is closed. FIG. 2 shows the needle valve 26 when it is closed.

図1に示すように、油ポンプ38は、油路36を介して、シリンダ34に接続される。シリンダ34は、油路32の一端と接続され、油路32の他端は、ハウジング14に形成された燃料供給路18と接続される。シリンダ34の内部には、カム42によって往復動するピストン40が設けられる。油ポンプ38からシリンダ34に燃料油が供給され、シリンダ34内の燃料油は、ピストン40の上昇によって燃料供給路18に供給される。   As shown in FIG. 1, the oil pump 38 is connected to the cylinder 34 via the oil passage 36. The cylinder 34 is connected to one end of the oil passage 32, and the other end of the oil passage 32 is connected to the fuel supply passage 18 formed in the housing 14. A piston 40 that reciprocates by a cam 42 is provided inside the cylinder 34. Fuel oil is supplied from the oil pump 38 to the cylinder 34, and the fuel oil in the cylinder 34 is supplied to the fuel supply path 18 by the rise of the piston 40.

ハウジング14は、先端部14aに複数の燃料噴射孔が設けられる。先端部14aは、シリンダヘッド12の下面12aから燃焼室11内に突出している。ハウジング14は、軸線上に沿って円筒状の中心穴21が内部に形成され、中心穴21内にはニードル弁26が収納されている。なお、例として、ハウジング14内部の中心穴21は円筒状としたが、これに限られず、例えば角筒状であってもよい。   The housing 14 is provided with a plurality of fuel injection holes at the distal end portion 14a. The tip portion 14 a protrudes from the lower surface 12 a of the cylinder head 12 into the combustion chamber 11. A cylindrical center hole 21 is formed inside the housing 14 along the axis, and a needle valve 26 is accommodated in the center hole 21. As an example, the center hole 21 in the housing 14 is cylindrical, but is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, a rectangular tube.

ハウジング14の上部から下部に向けて燃料供給路18が形成され、燃料供給路18は、チャンバー20に連通している。チャンバー20の下面は、弁座22が形成され、弁座22の内側に燃料供給路24が形成されている。ニードル弁26の上方にはコイルばね30が設置され、コイルばね30の弾性力がニードル弁26の上面に付勢されている。これによって、燃料供給路18に燃料油が供給されないときは、ニードル弁26の円錐面28が弁座22に押し付けられ、チャンバー20の下方に設けられた燃料供給路24を閉鎖している。燃料供給路18に供給される燃料油の油圧に応じて、ニードル弁26が上方へ移動し、燃料供給路18と燃料供給路24とが連通する。   A fuel supply path 18 is formed from the upper part to the lower part of the housing 14, and the fuel supply path 18 communicates with the chamber 20. A valve seat 22 is formed on the lower surface of the chamber 20, and a fuel supply path 24 is formed inside the valve seat 22. A coil spring 30 is installed above the needle valve 26, and the elastic force of the coil spring 30 is biased toward the upper surface of the needle valve 26. As a result, when fuel oil is not supplied to the fuel supply path 18, the conical surface 28 of the needle valve 26 is pressed against the valve seat 22 to close the fuel supply path 24 provided below the chamber 20. The needle valve 26 moves upward in accordance with the hydraulic pressure of the fuel oil supplied to the fuel supply path 18, and the fuel supply path 18 and the fuel supply path 24 communicate with each other.

ニードル弁26の先端には、スプール弁44が形成されている。スプール弁44の軸線上には、燃料供給孔440が設けられている。燃料供給孔440は、燃料供給路24と、スプール弁44よりも下方に形成される空間25とを連通させる。スプール弁44は、上側に位置する上部大径部442と、上部大径部442から離隔して下側に位置する下部大径部444とを備える。上部大径部442と下部大径部444との間には、小径部446が形成されている。上部大径部442、下部大径部444及び小径部446は、例えば円筒状である。なお、上部大径部442、下部大径部444及び小径部446は、ハウジング14の内部の中心穴21の形状と併せて、角筒状であってもよい。   A spool valve 44 is formed at the tip of the needle valve 26. A fuel supply hole 440 is provided on the axis of the spool valve 44. The fuel supply hole 440 allows the fuel supply path 24 to communicate with the space 25 formed below the spool valve 44. The spool valve 44 includes an upper large diameter portion 442 positioned on the upper side and a lower large diameter portion 444 positioned on the lower side and spaced apart from the upper large diameter portion 442. A small diameter portion 446 is formed between the upper large diameter portion 442 and the lower large diameter portion 444. The upper large diameter portion 442, the lower large diameter portion 444, and the small diameter portion 446 are, for example, cylindrical. The upper large-diameter portion 442, the lower large-diameter portion 444, and the small-diameter portion 446 may have a rectangular tube shape together with the shape of the center hole 21 inside the housing 14.

上部大径部442及び下部大径部444は、ハウジング14の中心穴21内に嵌合し、中心穴21の内周面に沿ってスライドする。ニードル弁26が燃料供給路24を閉鎖しているとき、図1、図3及び図4に示すように、上部大径部442は上側の燃料噴射孔16a,16bを閉鎖し、下部大径部444は下側の燃料噴射孔16c,16dを閉鎖する。   The upper large diameter portion 442 and the lower large diameter portion 444 are fitted in the center hole 21 of the housing 14 and slide along the inner peripheral surface of the center hole 21. When the needle valve 26 closes the fuel supply passage 24, the upper large-diameter portion 442 closes the upper fuel injection holes 16a and 16b and the lower large-diameter portion as shown in FIGS. 444 closes the lower fuel injection holes 16c and 16d.

上部大径部442と下部大径部444との間の小径部446に相当する位置には、環状の燃料油導入空間27が形成される。燃料油導入空間27は、スプール弁44の外周面よりも中心側に向かって凹状に形成され、燃料油が流通する。ニードル弁26が燃料供給路24を開放し、燃料供給路18と燃料供給路24とが連通しているとき、図2及び図5に示すように、燃料油導入空間27は、上側の燃料噴射孔16a,16bと面して、燃料油導入空間27と燃料噴射孔16a,16bとが連通する。また、スプール弁44よりも下方に形成される空間25は、図2及び図6に示すように、下側の燃料噴射孔16c,16dと面して、空間25と燃料噴射孔16c,16dとが連通する。なお、燃料油導入空間27は、環状であればよく、円環状に限定されるものではない。   An annular fuel oil introduction space 27 is formed at a position corresponding to the small diameter portion 446 between the upper large diameter portion 442 and the lower large diameter portion 444. The fuel oil introduction space 27 is formed in a concave shape toward the center side from the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve 44, and the fuel oil flows therethrough. When the needle valve 26 opens the fuel supply path 24 and the fuel supply path 18 and the fuel supply path 24 communicate with each other, as shown in FIGS. Facing the holes 16a and 16b, the fuel oil introduction space 27 and the fuel injection holes 16a and 16b communicate with each other. The space 25 formed below the spool valve 44 faces the lower fuel injection holes 16c and 16d as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, and the space 25 and the fuel injection holes 16c and 16d Communicate. In addition, the fuel oil introduction space 27 should just be cyclic | annular, and is not limited to an annular | circular shape.

4個の燃料噴射孔16a〜16dは、ハウジング14の軸方向の異なる位置に設けられた二つの噴射孔列A及びにBに分けて配置される。上方の噴射孔列Aは、燃料噴射孔16aと16bで構成され、下方の噴射孔列Bは、燃料噴射孔16cと16dで構成される。各燃料噴射孔16a〜16dは、図3〜図6に示すように、例えば、ハウジング14の軸線に対して放射方向に向けて形成されている。なお、燃料噴射孔は4個に限定されず、例えば、上方の噴射孔列Aに3個、下方の噴射孔列Bに3個の燃料噴射孔が形成されてもよいし、上方の噴射孔列Aと下方の噴射孔列Bとに形成される燃料噴射孔の個数が一致しなくてもよい。   The four fuel injection holes 16 a to 16 d are divided into two injection hole arrays A and B provided at different positions in the axial direction of the housing 14. The upper injection hole array A is composed of fuel injection holes 16a and 16b, and the lower injection hole array B is composed of fuel injection holes 16c and 16d. Each fuel injection hole 16a-16d is formed toward the radial direction with respect to the axis line of the housing 14, for example, as shown in FIGS. The number of fuel injection holes is not limited to four. For example, three fuel injection holes may be formed in the upper injection hole row A, and three fuel injection holes may be formed in the lower injection hole row B. The number of fuel injection holes formed in the row A and the lower injection hole row B may not match.

ハウジング14の中心穴21の内周面には、軸方向に沿って縦溝23が形成される。ハウジング14において、縦溝23は、図3及び図5に示すように、燃料噴射孔16a,16bと異なる位置に設けられる。縦溝23は、ニードル弁26の上下位置に関わらず、燃料供給路24及び環状の燃料油導入空間27に対して、常に連通するような長さで形成される。これにより、ニードル弁26が燃料供給路24を閉鎖しているときにも燃料油が燃料油導入空間27に満たされている。   A longitudinal groove 23 is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the center hole 21 of the housing 14 along the axial direction. In the housing 14, the vertical groove 23 is provided at a position different from the fuel injection holes 16a and 16b, as shown in FIGS. Regardless of the vertical position of the needle valve 26, the vertical groove 23 is formed with such a length that it always communicates with the fuel supply path 24 and the annular fuel oil introduction space 27. As a result, the fuel oil is filled in the fuel oil introduction space 27 even when the needle valve 26 closes the fuel supply path 24.

縦溝23は、図7及び図8に示すように、ハウジング14の内周面にて複数本形成されてもよい。複数本の縦溝23は、均等の間隔でハウジングの内周面に設けられる。例えば、図7に示すように、2本など偶数の縦溝23が設けられる場合、2本の縦溝23は相対する位置に向かい合わせて形成される。また、図8に示すように、3本など奇数の縦溝23が設けられる場合、各縦溝23は等間隔で設けられる。ニードル弁26は、縦溝23に加圧されて導入される燃料油によって、反力を受ける。このとき、縦溝23が均等に設けられているため、ニードル弁26の位置の偏りが生じにくい。したがって、スプール弁44がハウジング14の内周面に押し付けられて、摺動面が損傷したり固着(スティック)したりする可能性を低減できる。   As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a plurality of vertical grooves 23 may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the housing 14. The plurality of vertical grooves 23 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the housing at equal intervals. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when an even number of vertical grooves 23 such as two are provided, the two vertical grooves 23 are formed to face each other at opposite positions. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when odd-numbered vertical grooves 23 such as three are provided, the vertical grooves 23 are provided at equal intervals. The needle valve 26 receives a reaction force by the fuel oil that is pressurized and introduced into the longitudinal groove 23. At this time, since the longitudinal grooves 23 are evenly provided, the position of the needle valve 26 is less likely to be biased. Therefore, the possibility that the spool valve 44 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the housing 14 and the sliding surface is damaged or fixed (sticked) can be reduced.

縦溝23と各燃料噴射孔16a,16bとの距離Lは、図3及び図5に示すように、噴射孔の口径d以上の間隔に保たれて形成されることが望ましい。これにより、特に、ニードル弁26の閉鎖時にて、縦溝23と燃料噴射孔16a,16bとの間で、燃料油がハウジング14の内周面とスプール弁44の外周面との隙間を通って燃料噴射孔16a,16bから流出する可能性を低減できる。   The distance L between the vertical groove 23 and each of the fuel injection holes 16a and 16b is preferably formed at a distance equal to or larger than the diameter d of the injection hole as shown in FIGS. Thereby, especially when the needle valve 26 is closed, the fuel oil passes through the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the housing 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve 44 between the vertical groove 23 and the fuel injection holes 16a and 16b. The possibility of flowing out from the fuel injection holes 16a and 16b can be reduced.

次に、本実施形態に係る燃料噴射装置10の動作について説明する。
油路32から燃料供給路18に燃料油が供給されないとき、ニードル弁26は弁座22に着座し、燃料供給路24を閉鎖している。
油路32から燃料供給路18に燃料油が供給されると、燃料油の油圧に応じて、コイルばね30の弾性力に抗してニードル弁26が上昇し、燃料供給路24が開放される。すなわち、燃料油の油圧が一定の油圧以上となるまではニードル弁26は上昇せず、燃料供給路24は閉鎖されている。
これによって、燃料油は、燃料供給路18と燃料供給路24から燃料供給孔440を通って、下方の空間25に到達する。また、燃料油は、別の経路で、すなわち、燃料供給路18と燃料供給路24から縦溝23を通って燃料油導入空間27に到達する。
Next, the operation of the fuel injection device 10 according to this embodiment will be described.
When fuel oil is not supplied from the oil passage 32 to the fuel supply passage 18, the needle valve 26 is seated on the valve seat 22 and the fuel supply passage 24 is closed.
When fuel oil is supplied from the oil passage 32 to the fuel supply passage 18, the needle valve 26 rises against the elastic force of the coil spring 30 according to the oil pressure of the fuel oil, and the fuel supply passage 24 is opened. . That is, the needle valve 26 does not rise and the fuel supply path 24 is closed until the oil pressure of the fuel oil becomes equal to or higher than a certain oil pressure.
Accordingly, the fuel oil reaches the lower space 25 from the fuel supply path 18 and the fuel supply path 24 through the fuel supply hole 440. Further, the fuel oil reaches the fuel oil introduction space 27 through another path, that is, from the fuel supply path 18 and the fuel supply path 24 through the vertical groove 23.

ニードル弁26の上昇及び下降と合わせて、ニードル弁26と一体のスプール弁44も上昇及び下降する。スプール弁44の位置に応じて、噴射孔列A及び噴射孔列Bが開閉する。ニードル弁26が上昇し、ニードル弁26が開弁するときに、燃料油導入空間27は、縦溝23と連通し、かつ、燃料油導入空間27が噴射孔列Aの燃料噴射孔16a,16bと連通する位置に移動する。また、スプール弁44の下部大径部444は、噴射孔列Bの燃料噴射孔16c,16dを開放する。したがって、スプール弁44が上昇すると、噴射孔列A及び噴射孔列Bのすべての噴射孔16a〜16dが開放される。   Along with the raising and lowering of the needle valve 26, the spool valve 44 integrated with the needle valve 26 is also raised and lowered. Depending on the position of the spool valve 44, the injection hole array A and the injection hole array B are opened and closed. When the needle valve 26 rises and the needle valve 26 opens, the fuel oil introduction space 27 communicates with the longitudinal groove 23, and the fuel oil introduction space 27 is in the fuel injection holes 16 a and 16 b of the injection hole array A. Move to a position that communicates with The lower large diameter portion 444 of the spool valve 44 opens the fuel injection holes 16c and 16d of the injection hole row B. Therefore, when the spool valve 44 is raised, all the injection holes 16a to 16d of the injection hole array A and the injection hole array B are opened.

一方、油路32から燃料油の供給がなくなると、ニードル弁26は下降して弁座22に着座し、燃料供給路24が閉鎖される。ニードル弁26が弁座22に着座しているとき、噴射孔列A及び噴射孔列Bのすべての噴射孔16a〜16dが、スプール弁44の外周面、すなわち、上部大径部442又は下部大径部444によって閉塞されている。このとき、燃料油導入空間27は、燃料噴射孔16a〜16dと連通しない位置に移動している。   On the other hand, when the fuel oil is not supplied from the oil passage 32, the needle valve 26 is lowered and seated on the valve seat 22, and the fuel supply passage 24 is closed. When the needle valve 26 is seated on the valve seat 22, all the injection holes 16 a to 16 d of the injection hole row A and the injection hole row B are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve 44, that is, the upper large diameter portion 442 or the lower large It is blocked by the diameter portion 444. At this time, the fuel oil introduction space 27 has moved to a position where it does not communicate with the fuel injection holes 16a to 16d.

本実施形態によれば、ニードル弁26の開弁時、縦溝23から導入される燃料油がスプール弁44の燃料油導入空間27を介して燃料噴射孔16a,16bから噴射する。同時に、燃料供給孔440を通って、下方の空間25に到達した燃料油は、スプール弁44の下方の空間25を介して燃料噴射孔16c,16dから噴射する。   According to the present embodiment, when the needle valve 26 is opened, the fuel oil introduced from the vertical groove 23 is injected from the fuel injection holes 16 a and 16 b through the fuel oil introduction space 27 of the spool valve 44. At the same time, the fuel oil that has reached the lower space 25 through the fuel supply hole 440 is injected from the fuel injection holes 16 c and 16 d through the space 25 below the spool valve 44.

一方、ニードル弁26の閉弁時、ニードル弁26の外周面(上部大径部442及び下部大径部444)が燃料噴射孔16a〜16dに面しつつ、燃料油導入空間27は、燃料噴射孔16a〜16dには連通していないことから、噴射孔16a〜16dは、燃料導入空間から燃料が供給されることが無い。そのため、ニードル弁26が閉鎖しているときに、燃料油導入空間27に溜まった燃料油が燃料噴射孔16a〜16dを伝って、燃焼室に燃料油が供給されるという後垂れが生じない。   On the other hand, when the needle valve 26 is closed, the outer peripheral surfaces (the upper large diameter portion 442 and the lower large diameter portion 444) of the needle valve 26 face the fuel injection holes 16a to 16d, while the fuel oil introduction space 27 has a fuel injection. Since the holes 16a to 16d do not communicate with each other, the injection holes 16a to 16d are not supplied with fuel from the fuel introduction space. Therefore, when the needle valve 26 is closed, the fuel oil accumulated in the fuel oil introduction space 27 does not sag because the fuel oil is supplied to the combustion chamber through the fuel injection holes 16a to 16d.

スプール弁44のうち燃料油導入空間27の上部に位置する外周面442a、すなわち、上部大径部442の外周面442aが、ニードル弁26の開閉動作において、常にハウジング14の中心穴21の内周面に接触している。   The outer peripheral surface 442a of the spool valve 44 located above the fuel oil introduction space 27, that is, the outer peripheral surface 442a of the upper large-diameter portion 442 is always the inner periphery of the center hole 21 of the housing 14 in the opening / closing operation of the needle valve 26. Touching the surface.

これにより、ニードル弁26の開閉動作によって、スプール弁44の外周面がハウジング14の中心穴21の内周面と接触して摺動する際、上部大径部442の外周面442aが常にハウジング14の中心穴21の内周面に接触している。また、ニードル弁26の開弁時、燃料油が縦溝23から燃料油導入空間27に導入される。その結果、ニードル弁26は、スプール弁44に凹状の燃料油導入空間27が形成されている場合でも、上部大径部442の外周面442aによって、ハウジング14に支持されているため、ニードル弁26の挙動が安定化する。また、スプール弁44の外周面がハウジング14の中心穴21の内周面に常に接触しているため、接触と非接触が繰り返されることによる損傷が発生しにくい。   Accordingly, when the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve 44 slides in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the center hole 21 of the housing 14 by the opening / closing operation of the needle valve 26, the outer peripheral surface 442 a of the upper large diameter portion 442 is always in the housing 14. The center hole 21 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface. Further, when the needle valve 26 is opened, fuel oil is introduced from the vertical groove 23 into the fuel oil introduction space 27. As a result, the needle valve 26 is supported by the housing 14 by the outer peripheral surface 442a of the upper large-diameter portion 442 even when the concave fuel oil introduction space 27 is formed in the spool valve 44. The behavior of is stabilized. Moreover, since the outer peripheral surface of the spool valve 44 is always in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the center hole 21 of the housing 14, damage due to repeated contact and non-contact is unlikely to occur.

また、燃料油導入空間27は、図5に示すように、スプール弁44の外周にて環状に形成されている。
これにより、ハウジング14において燃料噴射孔16a〜16dが縦溝23と異なる位置に設けられており、かつ、燃料油導入空間27がスプール弁44の外周にて環状に形成されているため、燃料油が縦溝23から燃料油導入空間27を介して噴射孔から噴射するまでの燃料油の流路抵抗は、ニードル弁26の回転位置に関わらず一定である。すなわち、ニードル弁26が軸線回りに回転した場合でも、燃料油の流路抵抗が変化せず、燃料油を安定して噴射できる。
The fuel oil introduction space 27 is formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the spool valve 44 as shown in FIG.
Accordingly, the fuel injection holes 16 a to 16 d are provided in the housing 14 at positions different from the longitudinal grooves 23, and the fuel oil introduction space 27 is formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the spool valve 44. However, the flow resistance of the fuel oil from the vertical groove 23 through the injection hole 27 through the fuel oil introduction space 27 is constant regardless of the rotational position of the needle valve 26. That is, even when the needle valve 26 rotates around the axis, the flow resistance of the fuel oil does not change, and the fuel oil can be stably injected.

これに対して、ハウジング14に縦溝23を形成せず、例えばニードル弁26のシャフトに軸方向に沿って溝を形成したり、スプール弁44に軸方向に貫通孔を形成したりして、燃料油導入空間27に燃料を供給する参考例が考えられる。しかし、この参考例の場合、ニードル弁26の回転位置に応じて、燃料油導入空間27に燃料油が導入される位置が、燃料噴射孔16a〜16dに近づいたり遠ざかったりするため、燃料油が燃料噴射孔16a〜16dから噴射するまでの流路抵抗が変化する。一方、本実施形態では、燃料油導入空間27に燃料油が導入される位置(ハウジング14に形成された縦溝23の位置)と燃料噴射孔16a〜16dの位置が一定であるため、燃料油の流路抵抗が変化しない。   On the other hand, without forming the vertical groove 23 in the housing 14, for example, a groove is formed in the shaft of the needle valve 26 along the axial direction, or a through hole is formed in the spool valve 44 in the axial direction. A reference example of supplying fuel to the fuel oil introduction space 27 can be considered. However, in the case of this reference example, the position at which the fuel oil is introduced into the fuel oil introduction space 27 approaches or moves away from the fuel injection holes 16a to 16d according to the rotational position of the needle valve 26. The flow path resistance until injection from the fuel injection holes 16a to 16d changes. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the position where the fuel oil is introduced into the fuel oil introduction space 27 (the position of the longitudinal groove 23 formed in the housing 14) and the positions of the fuel injection holes 16a to 16d are constant. The flow path resistance does not change.

[第2実施形態]
次に、図9〜図14を参照して、本発明の第2実施形態に係る燃料噴射装置10について説明する。
第1実施形態と本実施形態では、縦溝が異なり、他の構成は同一であるため、重複する説明は省略する。
上述した第1実施形態において、ニードル弁26の開弁時に、縦溝23は、スプール弁44の下方の空間25と連通していない。この場合、上方の噴射孔列Aの燃料噴射孔16a,16bへの燃料油の経路と、下方の噴射孔列Bの燃料噴射孔16c,16dへの燃料油の経路が分かれている。そのため、流路抵抗が両者で異なっている。
[Second Embodiment]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 9-14, the fuel-injection apparatus 10 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.
In the first embodiment and the present embodiment, the longitudinal grooves are different, and the other configurations are the same, and thus redundant description is omitted.
In the first embodiment described above, the longitudinal groove 23 does not communicate with the space 25 below the spool valve 44 when the needle valve 26 is opened. In this case, the path of fuel oil to the fuel injection holes 16a and 16b in the upper injection hole array A and the path of fuel oil to the fuel injection holes 16c and 16d in the lower injection hole array B are separated. Therefore, the channel resistance is different between the two.

本実施形態では、図10及び図14に示すように、縦溝29が、ニードル弁26の開弁時においても、スプール弁44の下方の空間25と連通する位置まで形成されている。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 14, the longitudinal groove 29 is formed to a position communicating with the space 25 below the spool valve 44 even when the needle valve 26 is opened.

本実施形態によれば、ニードル弁26の開弁時に、縦溝29から導入される燃料油は、燃料油導入空間27を介して上段の燃料噴射孔16a,16bから噴射し、同時に、スプール弁44の下方の空間25を介して下段燃料噴射孔16c,16dから噴射する。   According to the present embodiment, when the needle valve 26 is opened, the fuel oil introduced from the vertical groove 29 is injected from the upper fuel injection holes 16a and 16b via the fuel oil introduction space 27, and at the same time, the spool valve The fuel is injected from the lower fuel injection holes 16 c and 16 d through the space 25 below the reference numeral 44.

燃料油導入空間27とスプール弁の下方の空間25とは、ハウジング14の内周面に形成された縦溝29を介して連通していることから、上段の燃料噴射孔16a,16bと下段の燃料噴射孔16c,16dとから噴射される燃料油について、流路抵抗と噴射圧力を均一に維持できる。   Since the fuel oil introduction space 27 and the space 25 below the spool valve communicate with each other via a vertical groove 29 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the housing 14, the upper fuel injection holes 16a and 16b and the lower fuel injection holes 16a and 16b are connected to each other. With respect to the fuel oil injected from the fuel injection holes 16c and 16d, the flow path resistance and the injection pressure can be maintained uniformly.
