The invention introduces a dual-channel piezoelectric injector, which is applied to the high pressure common rail electronically controlled fuel injection system in the dual-fuel engine or the high pressure common rail electronically controlled fuel injection system in the dual-rail engine, and especially applied to the dual fuel engine or dual common rail engine.
With the energy depletion and environmental pollution worsening gradually, the development of the internal combustion engine industry shows a trend of spurt, various new-type combustion technologies emerge in an endless stream, and then dual-fuel combustion technology appears. With the development of electronic technology and the improvement of internal combustion engine design, diesel technology, gasoline technology and dual-fuel engine technologies such as gasoline/natural gas dual-fuel engine, natural gas /diesel dual-fuel engine, gasoline/diesel dual-fuel engine, biodiesel/diesel dual-fuel engine have been developed rapidly.
Since the cylinder combustion status of the internal combustion engine affects the comprehensive performance of engine directly, so organizing injection reasonably and further controlling cylinder combustion are the most direct and effective way to improve the engine performance. Currently, the fuel injection system applied to the dual-fuel engine is mostly the dual-injector system, that is, two injectors are mounted in three different ways to realize different methods of injection: The first way is that a fuel injector is installed on the intake manifold, while another one is installed on the cylinder head to make one fuel injected on the intake manifold and another injected in cylinder. The second way is that two injectors are all installed on the intake manifold, to make both fuel injected on the intake manifold. The third way is that two injectors are all installed on the cylinder head, to make both fuel injected in cylinder.
The first two of the three injection ways can be achieved by modifying the existing single fuel injector engine, but the physical characteristics of fuel have specific restriction, that is the fuel injected external cylinder has high volatility.
The third way has broad development prospects as the physical properties of fuel have no restriction. But this way makes the structure of cylinder head become complex, so modifying the existing single injector engine becomes especially difficult and also makes the manufacturing cost increased.
At present, there are some dual-channel injectors in the market, but they are very complex and the installation of them needs to change the cylinder head.
The purpose of the invention is to overcome prior art technical problems and shortages, and provide a dual-channel piezoelectric injector applied to dual-fuel engine or dual-rail engine.
In order to solve the above technical problems, the dual-channel piezoelectric injector is designed as follows:
Including dual-channel injector body, its characteristics are at the bottom of the injector body successively connected with upper intermediate, lower intermediate and the double-channel needle valve body; At the top of the dual-channel injector body above has two tubing interfaces, and each tubing interface has a tubing fuel duct. There are two laminated piezoelectric actuators and two spray fuel ducts connecting two tubing fuel ducts respectively in the dual-channel injector body.
The upper intermediate and the lower intermediate are connected to form a middle connection body. From top to bottom of the middle connection body, there are external control fuel duct, external spray fuel duct, internal control fuel duct and internal fuel spray duct. At the top of the external control fuel duct, it is external working stroke amplifier which is of a taper cavity. At the bottom of the external control fuel duct, it is the external control fuel cavity, the shape of which is an annular groove. At the top of the internal control fuel duct, there is the internal working stroke amplifier which is of a taper cavity. Within the internal control fuel duct is equipped with internal control fuel cavity, at the bottom of the internal control fuel duct it is inner pressure chamber; Within the external control fuel duct it is equipped with external control fuel cavity, at the bottom of the external control fuel duct it is outer pressure chamber.
In the double-channel needle valve body, it's the sleeve structure of the needle valve hole, at the bottom of double-channel needle valve body there are internal fuel spray nozzle which connecting the external and the internal casing hole, and external fuel spray nozzle which connecting the external and the external casing hole. In the middle of the external casing hole, it's an outer pressure chamber, and the external spray fuel duct from the middle connection body down to the external pressure chamber. The top of the external casing hole connecting with the external control fuel cavity which is annular groove shape of the bottom of the middle connection body. So, to form the first space used to be placed the external needle valve body, as the first space axial size is greater than the length of the external needle valve bod. The top of the internal casing hole connecting with internal control fuel cavity which is cylinder shape of the bottom of the middle connection body. So, to form the second space used to be placed the internal needle valve body, as the second space axial size is greater than the length of the internal needle valve body.
The external spray fuel duct and the internal spray fuel duct are connected respectively with two tubing fuel ducts of the dual-channel injector body, so from two tubing fuel ducts to the external and internal casing hole of the double-channel needle valve body forming dual-channel.
The bottom of the two laminated type piezoelectric actuators respectively are embedded in the top mouth of the external control fuel duct and internal control fuel duct of the middle of the middle connection body. Through the two laminated type piezoelectric actuators, the pressure difference between the fuel pressure of the fuel control cavity and the fuel pressure of the inner pressure chamber or outer pressure chamber are controlled. So to control the open or close state of the internal or external needle valve, in turn to control the injection action of the internal fuel spray nozzle or external fuel spray nozzle.
Compared with the existing technologies, the advantages of the invention are:

By changing the voltage value of the terminal 63 of the laminated type piezoelectric actuator (6 or 7), we can control the shortened or elongate state of the laminated type piezoelectric actuator 6 or 7. The actuator pressure-bearing body 62 is fastened to the dual-channel injector body 9, when the laminated type piezoelectric actuator 6 or 7 shortening, the actuator seal body 61 will move up. So this can reduce the pressure of the control fuel cavity (46 or 58), leading to the pressure of the chamber (16 or 49) bigger than it was before, realizing the needle valve body (2 or 3) moving up and injecting fuel. When the laminated type piezoelectric actuator (6 or 7) expands, the actuator seal body 61 will move downwardly. So this can increase the pressure of the control fuel cavity (46 or 58), leading to the pressure of the chamber (16 or 49) little than it was before, realizing the needle valve body (2 or 3) moving down and stopping inject fuel.
Through the working stroke amplifier (51 or 53), the small variation of the laminated type piezoelectric actuator (6 or 7) is magnified and turn to the displacement of the needle valve body (2 or 3), and then, to control the effective opening and closing of the needle valve.
The injection control of the internal channel fuel duct: When the laminated type piezoelectric actuator 6 contracts, the pressure of the internal control fuel duct 56 will be less than the pressure of the internal spray fuel duct (47,54), and then the internal needle valve sealing cone surface (like the external needle valve seal cone surface 31) will lift the double-channel needle valve body 1, the first high pressure fuel will arrive at the internal fuel spray nozzle 11, finally realizing internal channel injection. When the laminated type piezoelectric actuator 6 expands, the pressure of the internal control fuel duct 56 will be greater than the pressure of the internal spray fuel duct(47,54), and then the internal needle sealing cone surface will seal contact with the double-channel needle valve body 1, finally stopping internal channel injection.
The injection control of the external channel fuel duct: When the laminated type piezoelectric actuator 7 contracts, the pressure of the external control fuel duct (45,55) will be less than the pressure of the external spray fuel duct (14,44,57), and then the external needle valve sealing cone surface 31 will lift the double-channel needle valve body 1, the second high pressure fuel will arrive at the external fuel spray nozzle 12, finally realizing external channel injection. When the laminated type piezoelectric actuator 7 expands, the pressure of the external control fuel duct (45,55) will be greater than the pressure of the external spray fuel duct (14,44,57), and then the external needle sealing cone surface 31 will seal the double-channel needle valve body 1, finally stopping internal channel injection.
In this invention, the size of the dual-channel piezoelectric injector is as big as ordinary injector. This invention eliminates dual-mounting-hole structure is adopted in the dual fuel direct injection engine, and simplifies the complexity of the cylinder cover. The present invention integrates dual fuel or single fuel double fuel rail injection into an organic whole, which can realize the dual fuel or single fuel with different injection pressure injected in cylinder for many times, at the same time it can reduce the costs of manufacture and application.
When we want to inject fuel earlier we can use the internal fuel spray nozzle 11, therefore, we can avoid or reduce the wet wall phenomenon. When two nozzles inject at a time, we can use the function of the two fuel beam collision and interference which can realize the change of the fuel injection angle, and to further avoid early wet wall phenomenon. The present invention can provide the better injection characteristics and meet the need of dual fuel engine and dual track engine.
In combination with drawings, we have described this invention in detail. But the specific embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above method. Rather, the specific embodiment of the above method is just schematic, rather than restrictive. The common technology person in the field of under the enlightenment of the present invention, in the case of not out of the present invention principle, still can make a lot of modification, these all fall within the protection scope of the invention.
