- the irradiation device 7 irradiates the spray 6 with light L in a specific wavelength region (for example, an ultraviolet region) molded into a predetermined shape as a process for causing the curable resin to cure. Since the fuel contained in the test liquid 3 is colored, when the spray 6 is irradiated with the light L, the energy of the light L is absorbed by the droplets in the spray 6 and changes to heat.

- the light L is irradiated at least at a part of the obtaining period (step S2). That is, in step S2, the step of ejecting the test liquid and the step of curing the droplets as particles are performed in parallel.
- the injection operation of the fuel injection valve 2, the on / off of the pump 5, and the irradiation timing of the light L from the irradiation device 7 may be appropriately controlled by the control unit 9.
- the control parameters of the fuel injection valve 2, for example, the pressure of the test liquid 3, the drive duty ratio of the fuel injection valve 2, etc. may be set to the same values as when the fuel is actually injected from the fuel injection valve 2.
- the environmental parameters such as the temperature and pressure of the environment in which the test liquid 3 is injected may be matched with the environment in which the fuel injection valve 2 is actually placed.
- the spray 6 injected from the fuel injection valve 2 is sequentially collected in the collection container 8 including particles hardened by the irradiation of the light L.
- the recovered material in the recovery container 8 is washed and the particles are separated from the recovered material (step S3).
- the test liquid 3 can be used. By washing with the test liquid 3, the hardened particles can be clearly separated from the liquid phase of the recovered material.
- the used cleaning liquid can be collected and used as it is as the test liquid 3 from the next time. However, if the particles can be recovered from the liquid phase without washing, washing may be omitted.
- Step S4 corresponds to a process of analyzing the spray characteristics.
- an analysis can be performed in which the diameter of the obtained particle is measured and the measured value is statistically processed to obtain a particle size distribution and an average diameter.
- the recovered particles are obtained by curing the droplets contained in the spray 6. Therefore, the obtained particle size distribution can be equated with the particle size distribution and average diameter of the droplets contained in the spray 6. Thereby, the spray characteristic of the fuel injection valve 2 can be measured easily and accurately.

Therefore, the measurement result of the entire spray can be efficiently obtained in a short time as compared with the measurement method in which the partial measurement of the spray is repeated to analyze the entire spray. Further, in the above measurement method, it is sufficient that light is incident on the entire spray 6 in a partial range (specific range) of the spray 6 in the injection direction, and if there is an amount of light sufficient to cure the droplets. The target measurement is possible. Therefore, the spray characteristics can be easily measured even in a region where the spray 6 is dense.
- the method of the comparative example uses the transmitted light necessary for observation because the light is attenuated in a dense spray area Or reflected light cannot be obtained, which makes measurement difficult.
- the measurement method of this embodiment as described above, light only needs to be incident on the entire spray, and if the amount of light necessary for curing can be secured, the attenuation of light will not be a problem. Is possible.
- the droplets being sprayed are cured using the thermosetting resin, there is no possibility that the recovered particles are melted by a subsequent temperature change and returned to the liquid phase.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in one measurement, the irradiation position of the light L with respect to the spray 6 is set near the injection port of the fuel injection valve 2, and in another measurement, the light L is applied to the tip of the spray 6.
- the irradiation position of the light L may be changed for each measurement, and the spray characteristics may be analyzed separately for each irradiation position. In this case, the spray characteristics such as the particle size distribution and the average particle diameter can be analyzed in association with the position of the spray 6.

- the spray characteristics can be analyzed in association with a specific time during a period in which the spray can exist.
- the temporal change of spray characteristics can also be analyzed by comparing the analysis results for each irradiation period. For example, when the spray characteristics from the start of injection are not steady, it is possible to analyze temporal changes in particle size distribution and the like. However, even if the measurement is performed once, if the spray (including particles) is distinguished and collected according to the timing while continuing the injection of the test liquid 3, the spray according to the timing during the period in which the spray exists. Analysis of characteristics is possible. For example, if the spray 6 is recovered while moving the recovery container 8 in a direction orthogonal to the injection direction, the temporal change in the spray characteristics can be replaced with a position on the recovery container 8 and specified.

Description
まず、図1を参照して、本発明の第1の形態に係る噴霧計測方法で使用する試験装置の構成を説明する。試験装置1は、試験対象の燃料噴射弁2から噴射させるべき試験液3を収容するタンク4と、タンク4の試験液3を所定の燃料噴射圧に加圧して燃料噴射弁2に供給するポンプ5と、燃料噴射弁2から噴射された試験液の噴霧6に対して特定波長域(例えば紫外域)の光Lを照射する照射装置7と、光Lが照射された後の噴霧6を回収する回収容器8とを備えている。燃料噴射弁2は、一例として、車載用の内燃機関の吸気に対して燃料を噴射する燃料噴射弁である。タンク4及びポンプ5は試験液3を燃料噴射弁2に供給する試験液供給手段として機能する。なお、タンク4は噴霧特性の計測に必要な量の試験液3を蓄えることが可能であればよい。ポンプ5は、試験液3を燃料噴射圧まで加圧できるものであれば適宜に選択されてよい。ポンプ5と燃料噴射弁2との間に、加圧された試験液3を蓄えるアキュムレータ等の蓄圧部が設けられてもよい。
図5は、本発明の第2の形態に係る噴霧計測方法で使用する試験装置の概略を示している。ただし、図5において、図1の試験装置1と共通する要素には同一の参照符号を付し、以下では相違点を中心として説明する。図5の試験装置10では、図1の試験装置1の構成を基本としつつ、これに一対の電極11A、11B、直流電源12及び帯電装置13を追加した構成を有している。電極11A、11Bは、燃料噴射弁2及びその燃料噴射弁2から試験液3が噴射される領域を光Lの照射方向に挟み込むように互いに平行に対向して配置されている。一方の電極11Aは直流電源12の正極に、他方の電極11Bは直流電源の負極にそれぞれ接続される。直流電源12から電極11A、11B間に電圧を印加することにより、図5に破線矢印で示したように、電極11A、11B間に光Lの照射方向と平行に電場を付与することができる。
