Abstract:
A fuel injection valve comprising:a pressure control chamber to which fuel is supplied from high pressure source via a fuel flow-in passage including an entrance orifice and from which the fuel is ejected to a low pressure source via a fuel flow-out passage including an exit orifice, a nozzle provided with a needle making an axial and reciprocal movement in response to fuel pressure in the pressure control chamber and with an injection hole to be opened and closed by the movement of the needle, and an electromagnetic valve operative to allow and interrupt a fuel communication between the fuel flow-out passage and the low pressure source for controlling the fuel pressure in the pressure control chamber, wherein the fuel flow-in passage, the fuel flow-out passage and at least a part of the pressure control chamber are formed in a single piece of a plate in such a manner that the part of the pressure control chamber is opened to an axial end surface of the plate and the fuel flow-out passage extends so as to penetrate the plate axially from an inner wall of the part of the pressure control chamber to another axial end surface of the plate and the fuel flow-in passage comprises a first passage extending from the axial end surface of the plate and a second passage extending from the inner wall of the part of the pressure control chamber, which intersect with each other within the plate, and, further, wherein the entrance orifice is formed in one of the first and second passages.
