Abstract A magnetic type fuel injection valve comprises a stationary core magnetized upon energization of a magnetic coil, a movable core arranged in an axially opposed relation with the stationary core to be movable toward and away from the stationary core in response to the magnetization and demagnetization of the stationary core, and a needle valve connected to the movable core for controlling a fuel injection through a fuel injection port. The movable core is formed with a bottomed axial bore open to that end of the movable core which is remote from the stationary core. Into the bottomed axial bore is tightly fitted an end portion of the needle valve which is defined between one end face of the needle valve and a stepped portion thereof which is formed at a location spaced from the one end face and having a surface facing in an opposite direction from the one end face. A wall of the movable core which surrounds the surface of the stepped portion is calked onto the latter surface to securely connect the needle valve to the movable core.
In a magnetic type fuel injection valve comprising a magnetic coil, a stationary core adapted to be magnetized upon energization of said magnetic coil, a movable core having one end opposed to one end of said stationary core and being movable toward said one end of said stationary core upon magnetization of said stationary core, a needle valve, and means for securely connecting said needle valve to said movable core to enable said needle valve to move with said movable core to thereby open and close a fuel injection port, the improvement wherein said connecting means comprises: a bottomed axial bore formed in said movable core and open to the other end of said movable core remote from said stationary core so as to define a bottom surface therein; an end portion of said needle valve defined between one end face of said needle valve and a stepped portion formed on said needle valve; said one end face having a frusto-conical configuration and a flat central surface; said stepped portion including a surface which faces substantially in an opposite direction from said one end face of said needle valve; said end portion of said needle valve being tightly fitted into said bottomed axial bore so that said flat central surface abuts said bottom surface and securely fixed therein by a wall of said movable core which surrounds and is at least partially caulked onto said surface of said stepped portion.
