June 6, 2019
An object of the invention is to achieve sufficient atomization, while preventing a spray from spreading. A fuel injection valve includes a plurality of swirl fuel injection passages. Each of the swirl fuel injection passages includes a swirl chamber, a swirl chamber introduction passage, and an orifice and imparts a swirling force to fuel to thereby inject the fuel outside. A rectangular coordinate system is imagined on an imaginary plane. The rectangular coordinate system has a center of an inlet opening surface of the orifice as an origin and has an X-axis extending in parallel with a centerline of the swirl chamber introduction passage and being positive in a direction from an upstream side toward a downstream side of the swirl chamber introduction passage and a Y-axis extending perpendicularly to the X-axis and being positive in a direction away from the centerline. When the positive direction of the X-axis is defined as 0° and an angular direction of rotation from an angular position of 0° toward the centerline of the swirl chamber introduction passage is defined as a positive angular direction, the orifice has an inclination direction set to fall within a range from 0° to 180°, both exclusive, and a part of the inlet opening surface of the orifice is formed in the swirl chamber introduction passage.
