Claim:
An electromagnetic fuel injection valve including: a valve housing ( 2 ) including a valve seat member ( 3 ), a fixed core ( 5 ) and a fuel intake cylinder ( 26 ) which are connected in a fore-and-aft direction, an inside of the valve housing ( 2 ) serving as a fuel passage, and the valve seat member ( 3 ) having a valve seat ( 8 ) and a valve hole ( 7 ) at a front end thereof; a coil ( 30 ) placed around an outer periphery of the valve housing ( 2 ), and electrified in order to excite the fixed core ( 5 ); and a valve assembly (V) which is housed in the valve housing ( 2 ), and opens and closes the valve hole ( 7 ) in cooperation with the valve seat ( 8 ) in conjunction with demagnetization and excitation of the fixed core ( 5 ), the valve assembly (V) including a valve body ( 14 ), a movable core ( 12 ) and a valve shaft ( 13 ), the valve body ( 14 ) being detached from and seated on the valve seat ( 8 ), having a spherical basic shape, and having a plurality of passage portions ( 18 ) in an outer periphery thereof, the movable core ( 12 ) being slidably fitted into the valve housing ( 2 ), and the valve shaft ( 13 ) being integrally projectingly provided to a front end of the movable core ( 12 ) and connected to the valve body, having a diameter smaller than that of the movable core ( 12 ), characterized in that the valve seat member ( 3 ) is provided with: a valve body guide hole ( 15 ) which continues to the valve seat ( 8 ) and slidably guides the valve body ( 14 ); and a large-diameter hole ( 17 ) which continues to a rear end of the valve body guide hole ( 15 ) via a taper hole ( 16 ), and whose diameter is larger than that of the valve body guide hole ( 15 ), the fixed core ( 5 ) is provided with a first longitudinal hole ( 19 ) which communicates with an inside of the fuel intake cylinder ( 26 ), a second longitudinal hole ( 20 ) communicating with the first longitudinal hole ( 19 ) is provided, stretching from the movable core ( 12 ) to the valve shaft ( 13 ), the valve shaft ( 13 ) is provided with a single traverse hole ( 21 ) which makes the second longitudinal hole ( 20 ) open to the large-diameter hole ( 17 ), and the valve shaft ( 13 ) includes a hollow shaft portion ( 13 a ) having the second longitudinal hole ( 20 ); and a solid shaft portion ( 13 b ) which is solid, has a diameter smaller than that of the hollow shaft portion ( 13 a ), and continues to a front end of the hollow shaft portion ( 13 a ), and a cylinder-shaped passage ( 25 ) is defined between the solid shaft portion ( 13 b ) and an inner peripheral surface of the valve body guide hole ( 15 ) by plunging a front-end portion of the solid shaft portion ( 13 b ) into the valve body guide hole ( 15 ), and the hollow shaft portion ( 13 a ) is provided with the traverse hole ( 21 ).
