PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detection device 1 of the number of particles and a measuring device 2 of the number of particles using it capable of measuring accurately the number of particulate matter even if the number of the particulate matter included in exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine is large. SOLUTION: This detection device 1 of the number of particles is equipped with a discharge electrode 12 for charging the particulate matter included in the exhaust gas by applying a voltage to the exhaust gas, and a current detector 14 for detecting a current I to be detected equivalent to the charge quantity of the particulate matter and synthesizing current detection signals. In accompany with voltage application to the exhaust gas, electrons emitted from the discharge electrode 12, for example, are bonded to oxygen molecules to form oxygen ions, and the oxygen ions adhere to the individual particulate matter to thereby charge the particulate matter. Since the charge quantity of the particulate matter is increased corresponding to the number of particulate matter, the current I to be detected equivalent to the charge quantity of the particulate matter reflects accurately the number of particulate matter even if the number of particulate matter is large. Hereby, even if the number of particulate matter included in the exhaust gas is large, the current detection signals reflecting accurately the number of particulate matter can be synthesized by detecting the current I to be detected like this.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel injection nozzle 1 capable of preventing leak of fuel from a second injection hole 8 at a time of low lift of a needle 3 and reducing dead volume in a suck chamber 9. SOLUTION: A projection end part 14 entering the suck chamber 9 of a nozzle body 2 is provided on a tip part of the needle 3, and a recess groove 14a is formed on an outer circumference surface of the projection end part 14. A valve member 4 is provided in a space formed between an inner circumference surface of the suck chamber 9 and the recess groove 14a, and is arranged close to an inlet of the second injection hole 8. Negative pressure is generated when fuel of high speed passes through a narrow gap between the valve element 4 and the second injection hole 8 at a time of low lift of the needle 3 and the negative pressure acts as force pulling the valve member 4 to the inlet of the second injection hole 8. Consequently, since the valve member 4 is pressed against the inlet of the second injection hole by pressure difference acting on the valve member 4 when the valve element 4 closes the inlet of the second injection hole 8, the inlet of the valve member 4 of the second injection hole 8 is surely closed by the valve member 4.
