Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an improvement of an electromagnetic fuel injection valve that is used mainly in a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine


BACKGROUND ART


FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an electromagnetic fuel injection valve in general according to the related art.


In the drawing, a fuel injection valve I is configured to include a valve seat 2, a movable valve body 3 that comes into and out of contact with the valve seat 2 to supply/block a fuel, a holder 4 that holds these, and a solenoid device 5 that drives the valve body 3. Herein, the valve body 3 has a valve portion 3a that comes into and out of contact with the valve seat 2, an armature 3b that is formed of a magnetic metal, and a pipe portion 3c that integrally couples the valve portion 3a and the armature 3b, and is pressed toward the valve seat 3 due to a pressing force of a spring 7 which is adjusted by a position of a rod 6.


In addition, the solenoid device 5 suctions the armature 3b against the pressing force of the spring 7, moves the valve body 3 upward, and has a core 51 that is formed of a magnetic metal, a coil 52 that is arranged on an outer circumference of the core 51, and a bobbin 53 that supports the coil 52.


Further, the core 51 fixed to a housing 9 by a cap 8, and the holder 4 is integrally mounted on the other end of the housing 9 by a ring 10.


In the fuel injection valve 1 described above, armature 3b is suctioned against the pressing force of the spring 7 when the coil 52 is energized and the valve portion 3a is unseated from the valve seat 2 such that the fuel is injected.


In the solenoid device 5 of the related art, a winding initiation side 52a and a winding completion side 52b of the coil wire 52 may have to intersect, allowing for windability of the coil wire 52 around the bobbin 53, as illustrated in FIG. 5.


JPA-2006-90266 is known as such an electromagnetic: fuel injection valve 1 of the related art. JP-A-6-26418 shows a solenoid device in which the winding initiation side 52a and the winding completion side 52b of the coil wire 52 do not intersect.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem

However, in a case where the winding initiation side 52a and the winding completion side 52b of the coil wire 52 intersect as described above, the coil wires 52 come into contact with each other in a crossing portion 52c, and friction occurs therebetween during exterior molding and cold loading. This may result in the peeling of the coating of the coil wire 52 and a short circuit and disconnection.


The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to hinder the contact between the coil wires 52 in the crossing portion 52c by using an easy and low-cost method and prevent the short circuit and the disconnection in a case where the coil wires 52 intersect on the winding initiation side 52a and winding completion side 52b of the coil wire 52 in the solenoid device 5 of the fuel injection valve 1.


Solution to Problem

In an electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to the present invention, a groove with a diameter larger than a diameter of a coil wire is disposed in a bobbin when a winding initiation side and a winding completion side of the coil wire intersect and are mounted on the bobbin, and the winding initiation side and the winding completion side of the coil wire are separated into, upper and lower stages in a groove portion in the crossing portion.


Advantageous Effects of Invention

According to the present invention, the winding initiation side and the winding completion side of the coil wire can be respectively separated into the upper stage and the lower stage of a step, and the contact between the coil wires in the crossing portion can be prevented.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
First Embodiment

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.



FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a shape of a bobbin that is a main part of an electromagnetic fuel injection valve according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 2A and 2B are a plan view illustrating a state where a coil wire is wound around the bobbin according to the first embodiment and a side view illustrating a stare where the coil wire is omitted. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line Y-Y, which illustrates the state where the coil wire is wound.


In the drawings, a bobbin 53 that constitutes a solenoid device 5 is molded by using an insulating resin material, and is configured to include a cylindrical portion 53a around which the coil wire is wound, a supporting portion 53b that is formed to protrude in a circumferential direction to an upper end of the cylindrical portion 53a, and a pair of tying portions 53c that are formed to protrude in opposite directions from the supporting portion 53b. A winding initiation side 52a and a winding completion side 52b of a coil wire 52 are respectively wound around the pair of tying portions 53c, and the coil wire 52 is fixed not to be loosened. In addition, a first groove a and a second groove b, which has a height that is equal to a wire diameter of the coil wire 52 from a bottom surface of the first groove a, are disposed along a circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 53a on an upper surface of the supporting portion 53b and form two steps. Further, a notch c that is formed along an axial direction of the cylindrical portion 53a and communicates with the second groove b is disposed on a side surface of the supporting portion 53b.


In addition, the first groove a is formed such that the bottom surface thereof is positioned to be lower than upper surfaces of the tying portions 53c and to be higher than lower surfaces of the tying portions 53c as illustrated in FIG. 2B. In addition, the second groove b is formed such that a bottom surface thereof is lower than the upper surfaces of the tying portions 53c.


A cylindrical core is arranged in a hollow portion of the cylindrical portion 53a.


Based on this configuration, the winding initiation side 52a of the coil wire 52 is wound around the tying portion 53c and is wound around the cylindrical portion 53a through the first groove portion a, and the winding completion side 52b of the coil wire 52 is wound around the other tying portion 53c through the second groove portion h.


In this case, a part 52c where the winding initiation side 52a and the winding completion side 52b intersect with each other can support the coil wire 52 without coming into contact, as illustrated in FIG. 3, since the bottom surface of the first groove portion a is formed to be lower than the bottom surface of the second groove portion b by the wire diameter of the coil wire 52.


In addition, the bottom surface of the first groove portion a is disposed to be higher than the lower surfaces of the tying portions 53c, and thus the coil wire 52 is wound around an outer circumference of the bobbin 53a, which is on a lower side, through the lower surfaces of the tying portions 53c and the bottom surface of the first groove portion a which is higher than these. The winding initiation side 52a is in a state of being pressed to the bottom surface of the first groove portion a due to tension during the winding. The winding completion side 52b of the coil wire 52 that is wound around the outer circumference of the bobbin 53a is wound around the other tying portion 53c as the coil wire 52 is guided to an upper surface of the second groove portion b through the notch c which is placed in the bobbin 53a.


Accordingly, the coil wire 52 can be prevented from falling off to the first groove portion a since the coil wire 52 is held in a state of being hooked onto the notch c. Furthermore, in this configuration, the coil wire 52 is tied through the upper surfaces of the tying portions 53c that are arranged above the second groove b, and thus the winding initiation side 52a and the winding completion side 52b are respectively pulled in a non-contact direction as illustrated in FIG. 3. As a result, the winding initiation side 52a and the winding completion side 52b of the coil wire 52 do not come into contact in the crossing portion 52c, and thus a short circuit and disconnection can be reliably prevented.


In the above-described embodiment, the second groove portion b is disposed to be shallower in depth than the first groove portion a. However, the second groove portion b may be required, and the contact of the coil wire 52 can also be prevented when the coil wire 52 passes along the notch on a side wall of the supporting portion 53b. In addition, although the winding initiation side 52a of the coil wire 52 is configured to be wired along the first groove portion a, the winding initiation side 52a may begin to be wound along the second groove portion b and the winding completion side 52b may be wired along the first groove portion a through below the winding initiation side 52a.


Furthermore, the first groove portion a, the second groove portion h, and the notch c may be configured to be inclined from the tying portions 53c in a tangential direction along the outer circumference of the cylindrical portion 53a. This is advantageous in that a part where the coil wire 52 is bent by the supporting portion 53b can be reduced.


The embodiment of the present invention can be modified and omitted appropriately within the scope of the present invention.
