Electromagnetic fuel injection valve

An electromagnetic fuel injection valve, comprising:

• a valve housing that has a valve seat in one end part thereof,
• a fixed core that is connected to another end of the valve housing and is formed with a hollow part defining a fuel flow path therein,
• a coil that is disposed on an outer periphery of the fixed core,
• a valve body that is formed by having a rod connected to a valve part that operates in cooperation with the valve seat,
• a movable core that is slidably fitted on to the rod while having a fixed-core-contacting face opposing an attracting face of the fixed core,
• a valve-open side stopper that is fixed to the rod and that, by abutting against the movable core that is attracted to the attracting face when the coil is energized, causes the valve body to undergo a valve-opening operation,
• a valve-closed side stopper that is fixed to the rod further on the valve seat side than the valve-open side stopper, a valve spring that urges the valve body in a valve-closing direction, and
• an auxiliary spring that exhibits a spring force that urges the movable core to move away from the valve-open side stopper and abut against the valve-closed side stopper when the coil is unenergized,
• wherein the valve-open side stopper comprises
• a flange portion against which the auxiliary spring abuts and which is inserted into the hollow part of the fixed core, and
• a cylindrical shaft portion projecting from the flange portion toward the movable core side, wherein the auxiliary spring is arranged to surround the cylindrical shaft portion,
• wherein the hollow part of the fixed core has an open end part which is substantially flush with the attracting face of the fixed core,
• wherein a first curved face part is protruded from the attracting face of the fixed core at a position intermediate between the open end part of the hollow part and a radially outer portion of the attracting face, the first curved face part having an arcuate cross-section and being capable of abutting against the movable core upon energization of the coil,
• wherein a second curved face part is provided in an outer peripheral part of an end surface of the shaft portion of the valve-open side stopper, the second curved face part having an arcuate cross-section and being capable of abutting against the movable core, and
• wherein:
• the movable core has a taper face at a first surface thereof opposing the fixed core, the taper face having a diameter thereof increased in going away from the fixed core, the taper face being capable of abutting against the first curved face part, and a second surface of the movable core, opposing an end face of the shaft portion of the valve-open side stopper, is formed as a flat face orthogonal to an axis of the rod.
