Abstract
A fuel injection valve device is capable of thinning a nozzle hole plate and improving fuel spray characteristics by a construction for reducing stress concentration that occurs at the weld part of the nozzle hole plate. The fuel injection valve device includes: a nozzle having a fuel passage inside and in which a valve seat is formed at an end; a needle valve for opening and closing the fuel passage by coming in contact with and separating from the valve seat; and an nozzle hole plate that is disposed at the tip of the nozzle and injects a fuel in the fuel passage at the time of opening the needle valve. The nozzle hole plate and the nozzle are fixed by welding in a state of forming an even gap between them.

A fuel injection valve device comprising:
- a nozzle having a fuel passage inside thereof and in which a valve seat is formed at an end;
- a needle valve for opening and closing said fuel passage by coming in contact with and separating from said valve seat;
- and an nozzle hole plate that is disposed at the tip of said nozzle and injects a fuel in said fuel passage at the time of opening said needle valve;
- wherein said nozzle hole plate and the nozzle are fixed by welding in a state of forming an even gap therebetween,
- wherein the even gap between the nozzle and the nozzle hole plate is provided along an entire outer circumference of the nozzle hole plate in a thickness direction starting from a first weld part where the nozzle and the nozzle hole plate are fixed by welding to at least a second weld part where the nozzle hole plate and the valve seat are fixed by welding, such that the gap at the first weld part is equal to the gap at the second weld part.
