Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of combustion pressure detecting apparatus that is installed on the internal combustion engine, detects the pressure in the firing chamber.
Background technology
Combustion pressure detecting apparatus in the past, for example known have a disclosed device of japanese patent laid-open 10-18898 communique.This pick-up unit is located on the direct injection ic engine, utilizes to be clamped in the formations such as ring-type differential pressure pick-up between thrower and the cylinder head, and this thrower is installed on the cylinder head of engine.Thrower is used for being ejected into the fuel that is boosted to high pressure by petrolift in the firing chamber, and its spray orifice portion passes through the hole of cylinder head facing to the firing chamber.In addition, differential pressure pick-up utilizes formations such as piezoelectric element, exports the detection signal corresponding with the loading that is applied to it.According to the pick-up unit of such formation, thrower produces displacement according to the pressure in the firing chamber (below be called " combustion pressure "), and therewith accordingly, the loading that acts on differential pressure pick-up from thrower also changes.Differential pressure pick-up detects the variation of the variation of this loading as combustion pressure, and output detection signal.
But, in the disclosed combustion pressure detecting apparatus of above-mentioned japanese patent laid-open 10-18898 communique, have following problem.That is, in this pick-up unit, because the retroaction when thrower imports fuel under high pressure and burner oil etc., the loading that acts on differential pressure pick-up produces change (below be called " combustion pressure change ").And, because this combustion pressure change passes to differential pressure pick-up from thrower, thus the combustion pressure variance components contained in the combustion pressure that utilizes differential pressure pick-up to detect, the result, the combustion pressure detection precision reduces.
And differential pressure pick-up is used to export and the loading that is applied to it changes corresponding detection signal, so in order to keep its accuracy of detection, need not be set at appropriate value as the initial loading of benchmark there being combustion pressure to do the time spent.But, thrower for example since maintenance etc. need dismantle and change sometimes, so when being installed to thrower on the cylinder head once more, initial loading might depart from appropriate value, under this situation, is difficult to keep accuracy of detection.
And, other combustion pressure detecting apparatus in the past, for example known have Japanese Patent Laid to open the disclosed device of 2002-168722 communique.This pick-up unit and spark plug are located on the consent that is formed on the cylinder head together.Consent is configured between air intake opening and the exhausr port, and extends to form along the vertical direction and have the more mounting hole of minor diameter, and this mounting hole is communicated with the bottom of this consent.Spark plug is installed through screwing in its installing component in the mounting hole, and its bottom is facing to the firing chamber.

And, as shown in Figure 3, on cylinder head 4, be formed with mounting hole 10 in opposite side of relative air intake opening 7 and exhausr port 8 and the position below the adjacent air intake opening 7.Thrower 9 is installed in this mounting hole 10 uses device, and combustion pressure detecting apparatus 1 is installed with this thrower 9 as burning.
Mounting hole 10 connects cylinder head 4 (firing chamber 6 side sections of single-point line among Fig. 3) sideling, and constitutes by being concentric seat installation portion 10a, sensor installation recess 10c and plate installation recess 10d each other in order from firing chamber 6 sides of its axis direction.Seat installation portion 10a accounts for axis direction length roughly half the of mounting hole 10, and the diameter with regulation, and its inner peripheral surface is formed with screw thread 10b.In addition, sensor install recess 10c have greater than the diameter of seat installation portion 10a with after the prescribed depth (axis direction length) stated.Plate is installed recess 10d and is had the bigger diameter of ratio sensor installation recess 10c.
And on cylinder head 4, being formed with wire harness derives groove 11 (cable derivation groove).This wire harness derive groove 11 be used for after the wire harness 25 (cable) of the sensor element 21 stated be retracted to the outside of cylinder head 4; This wire harness is derived the below that groove 11 is configured in mounting hole 10, and from sensor the direction extension of the bottom of recess 10c to Fig. 3 right-hand (promptly opposite with exhausr port 8) is installed.Mounting hole 10 extends sideling, and this wire harness is derived the circular-arc bottom surface approximate horizontal extension of groove 11.Thus, the degree of depth (apart from the height of bottom surface) that wire harness is derived groove 11 is along with uprising towards the foreign side of cylinder head 4, and is as shown in Figure 4, becomes the U font in the outside surface upper shed of cylinder head 4.The cross-directional length of wire harness derivation groove 11 bottom surfaces is shorter than the degree of depth of aforementioned consent 13a.
Combustion pressure detecting apparatus 1 by sensor element 21, be used for fixing the thrower seat 22 (sensor fixed part) of sensor element 21 and thrower plate 24 formations such as (support components) that is used to support thrower 9.Sensor element 21 forms ring-type, for example utilizes piezoelectric element to constitute, and sensor element 21 is according to the loading output detection signal that is applied to it.At the range upon range of respectively up and down packing ring 22,23 that ring-type is arranged of sensor element 21, this sensor element 21 is housed in sensor with packing ring 22,23 and installs among the recess 10c.
And sensor element 21 is connected with wire harness 25.This wire harness 25 is used to export the detection signal from sensor element 21, and derive near bottom of groove 11 through sensor as aforementioned on its approximate horizontal ground, and extends to the outside of cylinder head 4 towards the direction of a side opposite with exhausr port 8.As shown in Figure 2, be retracted to outside 4 wire harness 25 of total of cylinder head 4 from each sensor element 21, extend along mutually the same direction along the sidepiece approximate horizontal ground of cylinder head 4.4 wire harness 25 are connected with control device (not shown) through connector (not shown) by harness (in Fig. 2, being depicted as the state that has the gap each other for ease) each other.Detection signal from sensor element 21 is exported through corresponding wire harness 25, and is input to control device.
Thrower seat 22 for example utilizes the SUS material to constitute, and has seat main body 22a cylindraceous and the outstanding flange part 22b from the top of seat main body 22a.Flange part 22b is located at from the upper end of seat main body 22a that (end of the opposition side of firing chamber 6) leaves the position of predetermined distance to firing chamber 6 sides, and forms discoideus.In addition, the outer peripheral face of the bottom of present main body 22a is formed with threaded portion 22c.And the external diameter of flange part 22b is configured to be slightly less than the diameter that sensor as aforementioned is installed recess 10c.And the thickness sum of the thickness of flange part 22b and sensor as aforementioned element 21 and 2 packing rings 22,23 is configured to the degree of depth less than sensor installation recess 10c.Make a main body 22a pass through annular sensor element 21 and packing ring 22,23 from the top, screw in threaded portion 22c on the screw thread 10b of seat installation portion 10a then, thereby this thrower seat 22 is installed on the cylinder head 4.
Under this installment state, thrower seat 22 is by roughly whole of its flange part 22b, and through packing ring 23 compression sensor element 21 downwards, consequent loading acts on the sensor element 21 all the time.That is, sensor element 21 is clamped between cylinder head 4 and the flange part 22b, and the constant intensity when according to screw-in thrower seat 22 being installed is set the initial loading that acts on sensor element 21.In addition, seat main body 22a extends to firing chamber 6, and its bottom is facing to firing chamber 6.In addition, according to above-mentioned size relationship, the upper surface of flange part 22b is the state that the upper end of recess 10c is installed a little less than sensor.
Thrower plate 24 is installed in plate and installs on the recess 10d.This thrower plate 24 for example utilizes the SUS material to constitute, and forms the ring-type with specific thickness.And thrower plate 24 has the external diameter that the aforementioned panels of being slightly less than is installed the diameter of recess 10d, and has the internal diameter greater than the external diameter of seat main body 22a.In the outer peripheral face of thrower plate 24 and the bight between the bottom surface, along circumferential formation chamfering, the part that is formed with chamfering like this becomes the lead division 24a that is used to draw wire harness 25 in addition.
This thrower plate 24 is installed between the circle wall of recess 10d through upper end and the plate of chimeric present main body 22a, thereby is installed on the cylinder head 4.In this state; The lower surface of thrower plate 24 is installed the end difference butt of the intersection of recess 10d and sensor installation recess 10c with plate; And covering sensor installation recess 10c, be set up in parallel on axis direction with sensor element 21, be formed on the overlapping state of axis direction.According to aforementioned dimensions relation, between the flange part 22b upper portion of thrower seat 22 and thrower plate 24, form radial play G1, between flange part 22b and thrower plate 24, form the clearance G 2 of axis direction, thereby both 22,24 are separated from each other.And the upper end that thrower plate 24 is compared in the upper end of seat main body 22a is positioned at firing chamber 6 sides.In addition, the lead division 24a of thrower plate 24 derives groove 11 from the top facing to wire harness.
Thrower 9 is well-known structure basically, and the fuel of fuel tank (not shown) is through the control of control device, is transported to thrower 9 after boosting to high pressure by petrolift, is ejected into firing chamber 6 from thrower 9.Thrower 9 has: injector body 9a; From the spray nozzle part 9b that this injector body 9a extends, diameter is slightly less than the internal diameter of main body 22a.In addition, be formed with discoideus flange part 9c at the intersection of injector body 9a and spray nozzle part 9b, its external diameter is configured to the external diameter of aforementioned thrower plate 24 roughly the same.
The spray nozzle part 9b of thrower 9 is inserted in the thrower seat 22, and its bottom is facing to firing chamber 6.Make whole of flange part 9c with thrower plate 24 butts, and the powerful state of pushing under, through installing component 14 bolt 15 screw-in cylinder head 4, thereby thrower 9 is installed on the cylinder head 4.That is, thrower plate 24 is clamped between thrower 9 and the cylinder head 4, and thrower 9 is supported by thrower plate 24.In addition, because the diameter of spray nozzle part 9b is slightly less than the internal diameter of main body 22a, therefore between spray nozzle part 9b and seat main body 22a, be formed with minim gap G3 radially.In addition; As noted earlier, the upper end of seat main body 22a is compared thrower plate 24 and is positioned at firing chamber 6 sides, between thrower 9 and thrower seat 22 tops, is formed with the clearance G 4 of axis direction thus; Because above clearance G 3, G4, thrower 9 is mounted to the state that is separated with thrower plate 24.
Fig. 5 schematically shows above-mentioned thrower 9 and combustion pressure detecting apparatus 1.Below, use Fig. 5 that the combustion pressure detection action is described.Under the state that engine 2 stops, can not produce combustion pressure, so only based on the initial load effect of thrower seat 22 in sensor element 21.
When engine 2 entrys into service, follow air inlet, exhaust and burning etc., produce combustion pressure and periodically change.As noted earlier, thrower seat 22 is followed the change of combustion pressure, acts on pressure in the face of thrower seat 22 lower ends of firing chamber 6 and increases or reduce, and thrower seat 22 integral body produce displacement on axis direction thus.Like this, when combustion pressure increased, flange part 22b produced displacement to the opposition side of firing chamber 6, and the loading that acts on sensor element 21 thus reduces, sensor element 21 elongations.On the contrary, when combustion pressure reduced, flange part 22b produced displacement to firing chamber 6 sides, and the loading that acts on sensor element 21 thus increases, and sensor element 21 shrinks.Like this, sensor element 21 stretches according to the increase and decrease of the loading that is applied to it, thereby representes the detection signal of the variable quantity of combustion pressures through wire harness 25 outputs.According to this detection signal, calculate combustion pressure at control device.
As stated; Combustion pressure detecting apparatus 1 according to this embodiment; Thrower seat 22 be provided in and thrower 9 between have clearance G 1~G4; And cut off state from the loading of thrower 9, sensor element 21 be fixed on from the thrower seat 22 of the loading of thrower 9 through such cut-out and cylinder head 4 between.Therefore,, also can cut off the loading change that therefore causes reliably, can not feed through to sensor element 21 even the combustion pressure of thrower 9 produces change.As a result, can from detection signal, get rid of the combustion pressure variance components, the detection signal of being exported only reflects combustion pressure, so can improve the combustion pressure detection precision.
And,,, therefore can keep the combustion pressure detection precision even for example loading and unloading for maintenance, when changing thrower 9, also can keep the initial loading of sensor element 21 owing to be cut off from the loading transmission of thrower 9.And, be that the mounting hole 10 of thrower 9 is provided with because combustion pressure detecting apparatus 1 utilizes existing structure, so change structure, the layout of engine 2 hardly, can form cramped construction on the whole.Particularly sensor element 21 is located on the axis direction with thrower plate 24 side by side, can make the compact dimensionsization with the direction of the axis quadrature of mounting hole 10 thus.
In addition; Because thrower plate 24 is clamped between thrower 9 and the cylinder head 4; Between thrower plate 24 and thrower 9, do not have other component parts, thus can guarantee both 24, the bigger contact area between 9, can thrower 9 be installed on the cylinder head 4 with stable status.
And, derive the degree of depth that is shorter in length than consent 13a of groove 11 to wire harness 25 guiding cylinder head 4 outside wire harness, so compare along the situation that its length direction extends in consent 23a with such wire harness 25 that makes in the past, the size of wire harness 25 can be shorter.The operability of the wire harness 25 in the time of thus, can improving assembling and service engine 2 etc.In addition because mounting hole 10 is configured in apart from exhausr port 8 position far away, and wire harness 25 from this mounting hole 10 to extending, so the heat affecting of exhaust is difficult to feed through to wire harness 25 with exhausr port 8 opposite directions.As a result, wire harness 25 is difficult for being exposed under the high temperature, therefore can prolong its life-span.
In addition, the wire harness 25 of sensor element 21 is derived the outside that groove 11 extends to cylinder head 4 through the wire harness that is formed at cylinder head 4, and wire harness derive groove 11 from mounting hole 10 to extending with exhausr port 8 opposite directions, and be opened on the outside surface of cylinder head 4.Thus, can be with wire harness 25 direction opposite that derive through wire harness that groove 11 stably lead with exhausr port 8, and the offset etc. that can not produce wire harness 25.Therefore, can wire harness 25 stably be remained under the state that does not subject to heat affecting.
And, derive groove 11 by the wire harness that is formed at each cylinder 3, extract 4 wire harness 25 out in the same side of the outside of cylinder head 4, thereby carry out easily they are tied together processing.
And; Because the lead division 24a that can form by the part in the face of wire harness derivation groove 11 at thrower plate 24 draws wire harness 25; Even so for example under the situation of wire harness 25 near thrower plate 24 configuration, wire harness 25 also is difficult for contacting with thrower plate 24 or rubbing.And, even contact, owing to be formed with R and have curve form, so that wire harness 25 is difficult for is impaired at lead division 24a.Therefore, the arrangement freedom of wire harness 25 can be improved, and the life-span of wire harness 25 can be prolonged.
In addition, wire harness is derived groove 11 and is extended from the bottom that sensor is installed recess 10c, and is configured in apart from air intake opening 7 position far away, thus can easily handle wire harness 25, and can not receive the obstruction of air intake opening 7.And, owing to derive the above-mentioned configuration of groove 11 according to wire harness, can guarantee and exhausr port 8 between greater distance, therefore can further suppress influence from the heat of exhausr port 8.
In addition because that wire harness is derived the length of groove 11 is shorter, therefore can be from the outside easily Visual Confirmation be positioned at the state of its inner wire harness 25, so can improve the maintainability of combustion pressure detecting apparatus 1.
