Abstract

A fuel injector body has a fuel chamber and a valve seat around a fuel outlet. A valve body is positioned at the valve seat and a valve stem extends through the fuel outlet and fuel chamber. Engagement (disengagement) of valve body and valve seat closes (opens) the injector. The fuel chamber can comprise primary and secondary chambers connected by a valve passage and a metering member that restricts fuel flow between the chambers, thereby providing a flow-dependent closing force that reduces the dependence of fuel flow through the injector on fuel inlet pressure and that makes that flow dependent on an injector actuating force. The injector body or the valve body can comprise a spray-shaping surface arranged at least partly around the valve seat, which spray-shaping surface is arranged to direct a spray of fuel flowing through the fuel outlet.

The detailed description of mode of execution
Exemplary fuel injector 10 is shown in Figure 1 and comprise injector body 102 and reciprocating valve 110.Axial bore formation fuel chambers through injector body 102 (goes up main fuel chamber 104 and auxiliary fuel chamber 116 that the valve path 118 by radially shrinking connects in this example; Other example can comprise the layout of any suitable one or more fuel chambers).Fuel inlet 106 is connected to main fuel chamber 104, and fuel outlet 101 is connected to auxiliary fuel chamber 116.In the operation period of this example, fuel (or fuel/air mixture) flows to main fuel chamber 104, flows in auxiliary fuel chamber 116 through fuel inlet 106 from fuel supply (not shown), and then through fuel outlet 101, flows out.Valve seat 140(indicates in Fig. 3-5) around fuel outlet 101, arrange.
Valve 110 comprises and is just positioned at the valve body 114 of fuel outlet 101 outsides and extends through fuel outlet 101, fuel chambers 104 and 116 and the valve rod 112 of valve path 118.(upwards, axial motion as shown in the drawings) causes valve body 114 engage valve seat 140 to valve 110, stops in fact thus fuel flow to cross fuel outlet (that is, closing sparger) in a first direction.Valve 110 is (downwards, motion as illustrated in the drawings) causes that valve body 114 and valve seat 140 are disengaged, and makes thus fuel can flow through fuel outlet 101(, opens sparger) in another direction.Fuel outlet is limited by the joint of valve body 114 and valve seat 140 conventionally, and fuel injector can (that is, in 116 outsides, auxiliary fuel chamber) comprise other path, passage or other stream guide structure after fuel outlet 101.
Conventionally the elastomeric spring member that uses any suitable type or layout, with eccentrically arranged valve 110 in a first direction, keeps fuel injector to close.In the exemplary fuel injector of Fig. 1, use compression helical spring 134.When fuel injector is opened in hope, in response to the actuator of control signal, breaking force is applied in second direction to valve 110, overcome spring and close power and open fuel injector 10.In the example of Fig. 1, actuator comprises solenoid 130 and armature 132.
Can use any other suitable actuator, for example piezo actuator.Can open or close fuel injector by any other suitable layout.For example, spring can be arranged to that power is applied in second (that is, opening) direction and actuator can be arranged to power to be applied in first (that is, cutting out) direction.In another example, can use one or more actuators so that power to be all provided on both direction.
In the exemplary embodiment, main valve seal 108 engages main fuel chamber 104 to stop substantially fuel to flow through the part of the joint valve seal 108 of fuel chambers 104 around valve rod 112.Valve seal 108, at place, top wider (with reference to figure 1), makes its combined spring 134.The crimping with conical lower portion end is pressed against on Sealing 108 against valve 110, thereby engages Sealing 108 and promote Sealing 108 to move when valve 110 to-and-fro motion together with valve rod 112.Sealing 108 is machined to and is closely engaged in main fuel chamber 104, to reduce in the wall of main fuel chamber 104 and the leakage in the little gap between Sealing 108.Similarly, the valve seal 108 in mode of execution shown in Figure 1 is not fixed to valve rod 112, but it is machined to closely against its cooperation.
The circumferential member radially inwardly extending or flange 119 form the valve path 118 radially shrinking.Such radial contraction can be by narrowing down hole or realizing by reducing any other structure of the cross sectional area at one or more somes place that valve path 118 radially inwardly extends at flange 119 equably.In some embodiments, flange 119 can engage (that is, with the spacing that keeps tighter tolerances close to) valve rod 112 at least in part, so that approximate, fully stops fuel to flow in such engaging zones around valve rod 112.
Valve rod 112 can also selectively comprise the peripheral flange that is attached to valve path 118 and radially stretches out to engage valve path 118.In so selectable mode of execution, should be noted that the relative area that makes so outward extending flange, main valve seal 108 and valve body 114 be subject to the part of the fuel pressure in auxiliary fuel chamber 116 causes that suitable power is applied to (below seeing) on valve 110.
Metering element 120 is arranged to the fuel flow rate of restriction from main fuel chamber 104 to auxiliary fuel chamber 116.In the example of Fig. 3 and 5, metering element 120 comprises the valve path 118 radially shrinking that engages valve rod 112, in other words, be positioned at the fuel metering path between main fuel chamber 104 and auxiliary fuel chamber 116, its restricted fuel flow rate being only arranged to allow from main fuel chamber 104 to auxiliary fuel chamber 116.
The anastomosis part of valve rod 112 or flange 119 can be provided with at least one groove axially extending or the flat of the length of stretch flange formability 119.Flange 119 and valve rod 112 are not engaged with each other at such groove or office, par, thereby leave the metering aperture 122 that allows the restricted fuel flow rate between main fuel chamber 104 and auxiliary fuel chamber 116.In the example of Fig. 4, the fuel metering path of metering element 120 or limited flow comprises by connecting the hole forming through flange 119 of main fuel chamber 104 and auxiliary fuel chamber 116 or the metering aperture 122 that path forms.Can use and allow the connection main fuel chamber 104 of the fuel flow rate limiting suitably between main fuel chamber 104 and auxiliary fuel chamber 116 and any path or the aperture of auxiliary fuel chamber 116.Such path or aperture for example can be formed in injector body 102, flange 119, valve rod 112 or be formed between flange 119 and valve rod 112 and (for example, by groove as above or flat, form).
When fuel injector 10 cuts out, the fuel pressure between main fuel chamber 104 and auxiliary fuel chamber 116 is balances by metering aperture 122.Fuel pressure in main fuel chamber 104 is applied to power on valve 110 against main valve seal 108 in a first direction.Fuel pressure in auxiliary fuel chamber 116 is applied to power part that is positioned at valve seat 140 and is not occupied by valve rod 112 against valve body 114 in second direction on valve 110.If apply the area of contour (perpendicular to valve rod 112) of the position of those power, be equal to each other substantially, fuel pressure can not apply clean power on valve 110 so.Fuel injector 10 is considered to pressure balanced when it meets in fact this condition.
When fuel flows through entrance 106 under pressure, in the upward direction of Fig. 1, there is hydrodynamic pressure.Under this condition, fluid force expands valve body 102 slightly, thereby slightly increases the bore dia of chamber 104, and this will cause that the little gap (Sealing/main body gap) between Sealing 108 and main body 102 expands conventionally, increase seepage or leakage through Sealing 108, this is undesirable.Yet, use the layout of the Sealing 108 shown in Fig. 1, fluid force will make (a) main body 102 and (b) gap (Sealing/bar gap) between Sealing 108 and valve rod 112 both expand.Because Sealing/bar gap is located to be stopped up by taper crimping in top end (in Fig. 1), so it forms closed end (dead end), do not produce other leakage.Yet advantageously, when fuel injector is pressurized, the expansion in Sealing/bar gap trends towards offsetting broadening of Sealing/main body gap, thereby reduce seepage or the leakage through Sealing 108 by Sealing/bar gap.
When not there is not the power applying by actuator, the unique power that is applied to valve 110 is the power of spring 134, and the power of spring 134 is biased to the valve of fuel injector 110 in closed position.When solenoid 130 is applied to valve 110 by enough power in second direction (, when actuator force surpasses spring force), valve 110 (downwards) in second direction moves and opens.If the power being applied by spring 134 is along with displacement changes (so most of springs are exactly conventionally within the scope of finite movement) linearly, the difference of the displacement of valve 110 conventionally and between spring force and actuator force is proportional so.
In the situation that there is no the effect of metering element 120, fuel flow rate is conventionally similar to the square root with fuel inlet pressure pro rata and changes, and conventionally only depends on slightly actuator force under higher fuel pressure.In some cases, wish to reduce or eliminate in fact the such dependence of fuel flow rate to fuel inlet pressure.Also wish that fuel flow rate depends on actuation force (that is the clean power, applying by the solenoid 130 in the example of Fig. 1 and spring 134).Metering element 120 provides those functions, as described further below.
Restricted metering aperture 122 provides the restricted fuel flow rate between main fuel chamber 104 and auxiliary fuel chamber 116.As mentioned above, when fuel injector 10 cuts out, the fuel pressure in those chambers is balance, and does not have other pressure initiation power to be applied on valve 110.Yet, when fuel injector 10 is opened and during fuel flow, pressure difference is in main fuel chamber 104(elevated pressures) and auxiliary fuel chamber 116(lower pressure) between produce, this is due to the flow dependence pressure drop by restricted metering aperture 122.This pressure difference causes that the flow trending towards at first (that is, closing) square valve 110 of boosting relies on power.Result is that a kind of reverse feedback is arranged.Higher fuel inlet pressure produces higher fuel flow rate, and then causes that the flow that trends towards that valve 110 is moved towards closed position relies on the increase of power, thereby reduces fuel flow rate.On the contrary, lower fuel inlet pressure produces lower fuel flow rate, and then causes that flow on valve 110 relies on and close reducing of power, thereby increases fuel flow rate.
Reverse feedback can reduce the dependence to fuel inlet pressure through the fuel flow rate of fuel injector 10 (for given actuator force and constant spring force).For example, in Fig. 2 A and 2B, illustrated about thering is reverse feedback (dotted line) and not thering is the fuel flow rate of calculating and the figure of fuel pressure of the fuel injector of reverse feedback (solid line).The fuel flow rate that passes the fuel injector of Fig. 1 depends on the flow resistance in metering aperture 122 (for Fig. 2 A metering 0.021mm 2flow area and for Fig. 2 B metering 0.105mm 2flow area), valve-position-dependence flow resistance at fuel outlet 110 places, by spring 134 and valve actuator, be applied to non--flow-dependence power (being about 22.25N for Fig. 2 A and 2B) only of valve 110, and the area that main valve seal 108 and valve body 114 are subject to the fuel pressure in each fuel chambers (is 1.128mm for Fig. 2 A and 2B 2pressure effective area).Feedback can also reduce injector temperature and change the effect on fuel flow rate, and it may be significantly that injector temperature changes in explosive motor.The area of any outward extending flange on valve rod 112 reduces the impact that reverse feedback is arranged.Can select any group of these parameters or subgroup to produce the expectation dependence of fuel flow rate to fuel inlet pressure.
In the exemplary embodiment, fuel injector 10 can comprise the spraying profiled surface that is arranged to guide the fuel of spraying from fuel outlet 101.Spraying profiled surface can be arranged on injector body 102 around all or part of of valve seat 140, or all or part of layout that can divide around the seat interface of valve body 114 of spraying profiled surface.

Angle A, A1 and A2 can change to 90 ° (generating substantially the radially spraying of guiding) from 0 ° (generating substantially the axially spraying of guiding).In some cases, can adopt the angle that is greater than 90 °.In one example, valve seat 140 is furnished with seat angle, surface 142 the radius of about 125 microns of curved section, the diameter of about 1.6mm of valve body 114 and the angle A of about 0 ° of about 45 °, produces substantially the axially spraying of guiding the cone angle (half-angle) that comprises about 10 °.
