Abstract

A laminated structure fuel swirl element is employed, in which a strong swirl force flow is imparted to the fuel at a remote side against an injection hole and on the other hand, at a near side of the fuel injection hole, a weak swirl force is imparted to the fuel. A complex solid cone spray can be obtained, such a spray has a superior a dispersion characteristic by attracting small diameter droplets which are generated at an outer peripheral portion of the spray through a spray which is generated at a vicinity of a central portion of the spray and has a large velocity. In the spray characteristics in an electromagnetic system fuel injector of a direct injection gasoline engine, a complex solid cone spray can be obtained, as a result a good ignitability of the engine can be obtained by a spray having a small spreading angle by making strong an inertia force and a discharge amount of the unburned gas components of the combustion can be reduced by a spray having a short reaching distance and a large spreading angle by making weak the inertia force.
