Fuel injection valve for an internal combustion engine

A fuel injection valve for an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• a valve body movable between an open position and a closed position;
• a fuel jet adjusting plate including an upstream surface arranged in a first plane, the fuel jet adjusting plate atomizing fuel injected when the valve body assumes the open position;
• and
• a plurality of first nozzle holes along a first circle on the upstream surface of the fuel jet adjusting plate, and coaxial with a central axis of the valve body;
• and
• a plurality of second nozzle holes arranged along a second circle on the upstream surface of the fuel jet adjusting plate concentric with the first circle and having a diameter larger than that of the first circle, wherein each of the second nozzle holes extends through the fuel jet adjusting plate along a respective second hole axis and wherein the second hole axes form corresponding second acute angles with a plane perpendicular to the central axis and wherein each of the first nozzle holes extends through the fuel jet adjusting plate along a respective first hole axis, the first hole axes forming a corresponding plurality of first acute angles with the plane perpendicular to the central axis and wherein the second acute angles are smaller than the first acute angles.
