The present invention belongs to the field of fuel injection of diesel engines, and particularly relates to the field of high pressure common rail electronic control fuel injection.
An overall structure of a known high pressure common rail electronic control fuel injector is a pilot hydraulic valve, and a main structure can be divided into three portions, i.e. a needle valve portion, a pilot valve portion and an electromagnet portion. 1. The needle valve portion is also called fuel injector coupler and includes a needle valve body with a plurality of nozzles and a needle valve; the needle valve body is communicated with high pressure diesel fuel and is an execution component directly controlling the fuel injector; due to a large stressed area of the needle valve and high pressure of the diesel fuel as well as the limitation of the mounting space, the direct drive of the electromagnet cannot be used; 2, the pilot valve: the pilot valve is also called a control valve and is a high-speed electronic control hydraulic valve; an electromagnetic force of the electromagnet controls the needle valve to rise and fall after being hydraulically magnified by the high-speed hydraulic valve so as to control the fuel injection. At present, the pilot valve and the control mechanism mainly have two types of structures: (1) a structure with a control plunger represented by BOSCH; a valve body of the pilot valve is a ball body; a valve seat of the pilot valve is conical; a mounting position of the pilot valve is high and is far away from the needle valve body; a conical bottom of the pilot valve seat is provided with a fuel discharging orifice communicated with a control hydraulic cylinder; the control valve body is provided with a fuel inlet orifice; the control hydraulic cylinder is composed of a control plunger and a control valve body; the needle valve of the coupler is serially connected with the control plunger; a diameter of the control plunger is greater than the diameter of the needle valve of the coupler; a fuel return hole is arranged between the needle valve of the coupler and the control plunger; the needle valve of the coupler is provided with a preload spring; and the overall stress condition of the needle valve and the control plunger is changed by controlling the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder body through an electromagnetic valve. When the pilot valve is opened, the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder body is controlled to be reduced, and the needle valve and the control plunger are cooperated to raise the needle valve. When the electromagnetic valve is closed, the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder body is controlled to increase, and the needle valve and the control plunger are cooperated to close the needle valve. (2) A structure without a control plunger represented by Delphi: the pilot valve is mounted close to the needle valve, and the pilot valve directly controls the liquid pressure at the tail portion of the needle valve to realize the rise and fall of the needle valve. 3 A drive portion: the drive portion generates a driving force of the pilot valve, and the existing structure includes an electromagnetic type, a piezoelectric type and a magnetostriction type. A spring presses a valve body of the pilot valve against the valve seat to close the pilot valve, and the electromagnetic driving force overcomes a spring force to open the pilot valve.
In the known high pressure common rail electronic control fuel injector, in order to guarantee the initial seal of the needle valve, a needle valve spring is mounted on the needle valve, one end of the needle valve spring abuts on a spring seat of the needle valve, and one end abuts on a spring seat of the fuel injector body. With respect to the structure without the control plunger represented by Delphi, the pilot valve controls the pressure at the tail portion of the needle valve to control the rise and fall of the needle valve. A clearance space for mounting the needle valve spring is connected with the hydraulic cylinder at the tail portion of the needle valve, which increases the volume of the hydraulic cylinder, and due to the great pressure change of the control hydraulic cylinder, the elasticity of the liquid reduces a response speed of the needle valve.
For the structure with the control plunger represented by BOSCH, since the tail portion of the needle valve is communicated with the fuel return hole, the needle valve spring cannot cause the reduction of the response speed. However, the mass of the control plunger is large, and a total mass of the control plunger and the needle valve is a movement mass of the valve body, so that under the same response speed, a higher driving force is required, and at the same time, when the needle valve is closed, the impact force of the needle valve and the needle valve seat is large.
In the fuel injector represented by BOSCH, a valve ball ejector rod of the pilot valve passes through a central hole of the electromagnet, and the valve ball ejector rod and an armature are concentrically mounted in a sliding fitting manner. A diameter of an upper portion (close to the direction of a coil) of the ejector rod is greater than the diameter of a central hole of the armature of the electromagnet. The spring is mounted at the tail portion of the ejector rod. The downward movement of the ejector rod relative to the armature can be transferred to the armature, while the upward movement of the ejector rod relative to the armature is not transferred to the armature. The upward movement of the armature relative to the ejector rod can be transferred to the ejector rod, while the downward movement of the armature relative to the ejector rod cannot be transferred to the ejector rod. When the ejector rod moves downwards, and the valve ball contacts the ball seat, the speed of the ejector rod is reduced rapidly. The ejector moves upwards relative to the armature, the armature continues to move downwards, and the valve seat and the ball seat do not suffer the impact force of the armature. Similarly, when the armature moves upwards to contact an upper half portion of the electromagnet, the armature is not subjected to the impact force of the ejector rod. However, in order to realize the function, the armature is in clearance sliding fit with the ejector rod, and at the same time, in order to guarantee the effective guide, the ejector rod must have a large diameter and height, so that the mass of the ejector rod is large, and consequently the diameter of the armature is increased, thereby finally greatly neutralizing the reduced impact force of the structure. At the same time, due to the presence of a buffer lift of the armature, the response speed is also reduced.
A technical problem to be solved is to solve the problem affecting the response speed of the existing electronic control fuel injector and to solve the problem that a needle valve and a control valve are high in impact force.
A specific technical solution is as follows: a valve seat of a fuel injector control valve adopts a T-shaped columnar structure with a slot hole; liquid passes through the slot hole of a pilot valve seat to control hydraulic pressure at a tail portion of the needle valve to control the rise and fall of the needle valve; and a control plunger of the fuel injector represented by BOSCH is canceled. The T-shaped pilot valve seat adopts a floating mounting structure: a large end of the T-shaped control valve seat faces downwards; a long column of the T-shaped pilot valve seat is slidably assembled in a central hole of a fuel injector body; the large end of the T-shaped control valve seat and the central hole of the fuel injector body are provided with a seal seat surface matched with each other, and the hydraulic pressure at the lower end of the T-shaped control valve seat enables the seal surface of the T-shaped control valve seat to press the seal surface of the fuel injector body. No needle valve spring is mounted on the tail portion of the needle valve. When an engine is stopped or just started, when the system pressure of the T-shaped control valve is relatively low, and when the pressure on the lower end surface of the T-shaped control valve seat is smaller than a spring force of the control valve, the spring force of the control valve drives the T-shaped control valve seat, so that the T-shaped control valve seat presses the tail portion of the needle valve to close the needle valve, and the spring of the control valve also plays a role of a preload spring of the needle valve.
A main fuel inlet passage is provided with a pressure adjusting mechanism, so that when the needle valve is opened, and the pressure of the diesel fuel entering the lower portion of the needle valve is reduced; and when the control valve is closed, the pressure at the tail portion of the needle valve is higher than that at the front end of the needle valve, and the needle valve is closed by the pressure difference.
An optimized hydraulic pressure adjusting mechanism of the main fuel passage is a structure in which a spring pressure adjusting valve is serially connected with an orifice mat, and successively includes a pressure adjusting valve seat, a pressure adjusting valve core, a pressure adjusting spring and the orifice mat from top to bottom.
A simplified hydraulic pressure adjusting mechanism of the main fuel passage is a pure orifice structure without a spring pressure adjusting valve.
The optimized hydraulic pressure adjusting mechanism of the main fuel passage is arranged on a fuel injector coupler body, and a conical orifice core is mounted in a conical hole on a fuel inlet passage of the fuel injector coupler body.
An optimized control fuel inlet is provided with a fuel inlet metering hole between the main fuel passage of the fuel injector body and the central hole of the fuel injector body.
The optimized control valve is a conical seat ball valve structure. A drive mechanism is an EI electromagnet structure. An electromagnet armature is fixed together with an armature guide column. The armature guide column is downwardly mounted in a guide sleeve, and the guide column pushes against a ball seat; and the upper end surface of the armature pushes against a control valve spring. An armature buffer structure represented by BOSCH is canceled, so that the mass of a movement system is reduced.
The optimized electromagnet armature is a grooved liquid discharging electromagnet armature. The periphery of the guide column is provided with longitudinal grooves serving as fuel discharging passages, thereby reducing the movement mass and reducing the magnetic flux leakage.
The optimized electromagnet armature is a liquid discharging armature with an inner hole. The guide column is provided with a central through hole serving as a fuel discharging passage. The end portion of the guide column is provided with a liquid guide groove, thereby reducing the movement mass and reducing the magnetic flux leakage. The diesel fuel discharged from the control valve is used to cool the electromagnet.
The guide sleeve of the electromagnet armature guide column is concentric with the central hole of the fuel injector. The guide sleeve projects upwards for a length of 2 to 5 mm, thereby increasing an air gap between the lower surface of the armature and the fuel injector body, and reducing the magnetic flux leakage.
The simplified electromagnet guide sleeve does not project upwards. By increasing the length of the guiding column, a distance between a large disc of the electromagnet armature and the end surface of the guide sleeve is increased to 2 to 5 mm, thereby increasing the air gap between the lower surface of the armature and the fuel injector body, and reducing the magnetic flux leakage.
An optimized electromagnet iron core is a multilayer (2 to 4 layers) two-ring structure with a central hole.
The present invention has the beneficial effects: the hydraulic pressure at the tail portion of the needle valve is controlled by the T-shaped control valve with the slot hole to control the rise and fall of the needle valve, a control valve column is canceled, and the total mass of the needle valve movement body is reduced, so that the response speed can be improved, and the impact force of the needle valve can be reduced.
The T-shaped control valve seat adopts the floating mounting structure; the liquid pressure at the lower end surface of the T-shaped control valve makes the seal surface of the T-shaped control valve seat press the seal surface of the fuel injector body, thereby reducing the mounting procedures. Meanwhile, when the T-shaped pilot valve seat contacts the valve ball, the length of the T-shaped column of the T-shaped pilot valve seat is shortened, so that the impact force of the control valve ball can be partially absorbed.
By mounting the T-shaped control valve seat in a floating manner, the spring of the control valve also plays a role of a preload spring of the needle valve, and the tail portion of the needle valve controls the volume of the hydraulic liquid, thereby increasing the response speed.
The armature and the guide column are of an integrated structure, and the guide column faces downwards and also plays a role of a ball valve ejector rod, thereby reducing the mass of the movement system, and reducing the diameter of the armature.
The guide sleeve of the electromagnet armature guide column projects upwards for a length of 2 to 5 mm to increase the air gap between the lower surface of the armature and the fuel injector body, thereby reducing the magnetic flux leakage, and reducing the diameter of the armature.
