A fuel injection valve includes a solenoid, which is filled with
low-pressure oil. The solenoid receives a biasing means and a movable
member. The movable member is actuated by the biasing means and magnetic
force generated by the solenoid. The movable member includes a flat-plate
portion that contacts with the solenoid and departs from the solenoid.
The outer circumferential periphery of the flat-plate portion has
multiple notches, through which low-pressure fuel flows into to the upper
side of the flat-plate portion that has an oil passage groove, through
which a center portion of flat-plate portion communicates with the outer
circumferential portion of flat-plate portion. Each notch has a deepest
portion that is radially most recessed from the outer circumferential
periphery of the flat-plate portion. The oil passage groove is apart from
a deepest portion of the notches.
