Abstract (en)

Orifice pieces (100) are disposed in connecting portions between a common rail (3) and high-pressure fuel pipes (11) that supply high-pressure fuel to fuel injection valves (10a-10d). Each orifice piece (100) has, in its interior, a fuel passage that is formed by an inlet-side taper portion (111), a small-diameter constricted portion (113), and an outlet-side taper portion (115). The inclination angle of a wall surface of the outlet-side taper portion (115) is set smaller than the inclination angle of a wall surface of the inlet-side portion (111). The provision of the outlet-side taper portion (115) with a small inclination angle prevents an increase in the resistance of flow of fuel in the direction from the common rail (3) toward a corresponding one of the fuel injection valves (10a-10d). The provision of the inlet-side taper portion (111) with a great inclination angle increases the fuel flow resistance due to pressure pulsation from the corresponding one of the fuel injection valves (10a-10d) toward the common rail. <IMAGE>
