Definitions

  • the conventional Diesel engine has a fuel injection pump for injecting fuel into each of the cylinders.
  • the fuel injection pump pumps the fuel and supplies it to the fuel injector which has an injecting nozzle.
  • a timer is provided on a cam shaft of the fuel injection pump for controlling the timing of the fuel injection.
  • the injection pump also requires a mechanical governor, which is connected to a control rack of the pump for regulating the quantity of fuel injected at one time, and to thereby ensure the supply of a suitable quantity of fuel to the engine in response to the condition thereof.
  • the conventional fuel injection apparatus includes a fuel injection pump, a mechanical governor and a timer, which are all comprised of complex mechanical structures, thus making the fuel injection apparatus very expensive. Furthermore, these complex apparatus require highly skilled maintenance. Moreover, the conventional fuel injection apparatus is not suitable for electric control by a microcomputer or the like. Additionally in using the conventional apparatus, it is very difficult to control the pattern of fuel injection, and more specifically it is very difficult to decrease the quantity of fuel at the initial period of the injection. Therefore the engine generates noises and contains a greate deal of nitrogen oxide in the much exhaust gas of the engine.
  • One object of this invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive fuel injection apparatus.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a fuel injection apparatus which does not require highly skilled maintenance.

  • Fig.1 shows a first embodiment of the fuel injection apparatus according to this invention.
  • the Diesel engine 110 includes a cylinder 111 which receives a piston 112 slidably. The top of the cylinder 111 is closed by a cylinder head 113.
  • the cylinder head 113 is provided with an injector 114 for injecting fuel into the cylinder 111.
  • the fuel injected from the injector 114 is ignited by the air because the air is compressed and the temperature is raised, causing combustion and generating torque.
  • the fuel injector 114 is connected to an accumulator 116 by a fuel feed pipe 115.
  • the accumulator 116 has a piston 117 which is pushed by a coil spring 118. Accordingly, the fuel in the accumulator 116 is pushed and held under pressure by the spring 118. Furthermore, the accumulator 116 is connected to a fuel tank 119 by a feed pipe 121, which is connected to a high pressure feed pump 120.
  • the fuel injection apparatus shown in Fig.1 also includes a microcomputer 122 for controlling the injector 114.

  • the injector 114 includes a body 130 and a nozzle 131 which is secured at the bottom of the body 130 by a sleeve 132.
  • the nozzle 131 receives a nozzle needle 133 slidably in the axial direction.
  • a reservoir 136 for communicating with a passage 134 of the body 130 and the passage 135 of the nozzle 131. The fuel in the reservoir 136 pushes and moves the nozzle needle 133 upward in the axial direction.

  • the push rod 137 is received in the body 130 and is slidably supported in the axial direction.
  • a spring seat 138 is formed on the upper end of the push rod 137 and the seat 138 receives the lower end of a coil spring 139.
  • the top end of the spring 139 is received by a spring seat 140 provided inside the body 130.
  • the actuator 126 for controlling the quantity of fuel.
  • the actuator 126 includes a coil 141 and a rotor 142 which is rotatablly supported inside the coil 141.

  • valve member 147 provided on the fuel injector 114.
  • the valve member 147 is slidably supported in a casing 148.
  • the valve member 147 is opened by the magnetic force of a coil 149.
  • the valve member 147 is pushed to the closed position by a coil spring 150 held in the casing 148.
  • a suck valve 151 is formed at the top of the valve member 147. The suck valve 151 closes before the valve member 147 closes to suck the fuel in the passages 134 and 135 and the reservoir 136, thereby resulting a sharp decrease in fuel.
  • a quantity control valve 152 will be described in accordance with Fig.3 and Fig.4.
  • a small column is formed at the top of the nozzle needle 133 and the column constitutes a control valve 152.
  • On the peripheral surface of the controlvalve 152 are formed oblong slots 154 which coincide with the injection hole of the nozzle 131, and the oblong slot 154 is communicating with a slot 155 for feeding fuel.
  • a through hole 156 is formed at the center of the quantity control valve 152, and the fuel in the top end of the nozzle body 131 and the top of the control valve 152 is relieved through the hole 156.
  • the fuel in the fuel tank 119 is sucked by the high pressure feed pump 120 and the fuel is pumped and pushed into the accumulator 116.
  • the pressure of the fuel in the accumulator 116 is detected by the pressure sensor 125 and the information of the detected value is supplied to the microcomputer 122.
  • the microcomputer 122 controls the feed pump 120 in response to the detected pressure. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the pressure of the fuel in the accumulator 116 substantially constant, and the fuel is held under the predetermined pressure.
  • the fuel is supplied to the injector 114 through the fuel feed pipe 115 and injected through the injection hole 153 when the valve member 147 is opened by the timing control actuator 127.
  • the quantity of fuel injected per unit time is controlled by the quantity control valve 152 which is controlled by the quantity control actuator 126.
  • the microcomputer 122 reads in the number of revolutions and the load of the engine 110 through the revolution detecting sensor 123 and the load sensor 124.
  • the microcomputer 122 also reads in various conditions existing at the moment. These conditions include a demand for increased fuel for cranking, a demand for constant speed revolution, a demand for a constant speed running or the like. Based on these informations, the microcomputer 122 calculates a suitable quantity of fuel to be injected, and based on this calculation the microcomputer 122 calculates the appropriate size of the injection hole 153. In response to this calculation the microcomputer 122 supplies a control signal to the actuator 126 for controlling the quantity of fuel. Thus the actuator 126 operates a quantity control.
  • the actuator 126 is provided with a coil 141 which constitutes a stepping motor, and the coil 141 is energized in response to the control signal from the microcomputer 122 causing the rotor 142 to rotate.
  • the rotor 142 has a through hole 143 with female thread at the center thereof, and the female thread is engaged with a male thread formed on the peripheral serface of the stopper 144, and further the stopper 144 is prevented from rotation by the pin 146 which is received by the longitudinal slot 145 of the stopper 144. Accordingly, the stopper 144 displaces axially when the electric current is supplied to the coil 141 and the rotor 142 is rotated. Thus a gap S between the bottom of the stopper 144 and the top of the spring seat 138 is regulated.
  • the stopper 144 defines or limits the upward displacement of the push rod 137, and as in the case shown in Fig.2, the push rod 137 is permitted to displace upward in the stroke S . Furthermore, as the bottom end of the push rod 137 contacts with the nozzle needle 133, a displacement of the nozzle needle 133 is also limited to the stroke S . Accordingly, the microcomputer 122 controls the stroke of the upward displacement of the nozzle needle 133 through the quantity control actuator 126. That is, when the timing valve 147 is opened, the compressed fuel is supplied to the reservoir 136 through the valve 147 and passages 134 and 135, and the nozzle needle 133 moves upward against the coil spring 139 by the pressure of the fuel. The stroke of the nozzle needle 133 is S in this case.
  • the quantity control valve 152 is integrally formed at the top end of the nozzle needle 133, as shown in Fig.3 and Fig.4, and the oblong slot 154 and feeding slot 155 are formed on the peripheral surface of the quantity control valve 152.
  • the oblong slot 154 partially coincides with the injection hole 153 when the nozzle needle 133 moves upward. Therefore, in this case the effective area of the injection hole 153 is very small and the quantity of the fuel injected per unit time is also small.
  • the microcomputer 122 also calculates the time duration of injection after the above mentioned control operation.
  • the microcomputer 122 reads in the angular position of the crank shaft of the engine 110 through the revolution detecting sensor 123, and then the microcomputer 122 generates a signal for opening the valve 147 at the proper moment.
  • the coil 149 of the timing actuator 127 is energized and the valve 147 is opened against the coil spring 150.
  • the compressed fuel is then supplied to the top of the injector 114 through the fuel feed pipe 115 and the casing 148 of the valve 147.
  • Fig.8 shows an injection pattern of this embodiment.
  • the feature of this pattern is a square shape.
  • the width of the square pattern or the length along the horizontal or time axis represents the time duration that the valve 147 is open.
  • the height of the square pattern along the vertical axis substantially represents the effective area of the injection hole 153. Therefore, various types of injection patterns are accomplished by the combination of the time duration the valve 147 is open and the effective area of the injection hole 153.
  • the standard pattern is shown by the solid line in Fig.8.
  • Another pattern shown by a chain line in Fig.8 is obtained when the effective area of the injection hole is narrrowed and the time duration is delayed.
  • a pattern shown by dotted line in Fig.8 is obtained when the time duration is short and the effective area of the injection hole 153 is enlarged. Furthermore, when the injection pattern is moved along the time axis, the fuel injection is advanced or delayed to control the injection timing.
  • the quantity control valve 152 is separated from the nozzle needle 133 and the movement of the quantity control valve 152 is in dependent of the nozzle needle 133. That is, the quantity control valve 152 is connected to a connecting rod 160, and the rod 160 passes through the through hole 161 formed on the center of the nozzle needle 133. The top of the connecting rod 160 is connected to the out-put shaft 144 of the quantity control actuator 126.
  • the structure of the out-put shaft 144 is the same as in the first embodiment.
  • the male thread formed on the peripheral surface thereof engages the female thread 143 of the rotor 142, and the longitudinal slot 145 of the shaft 144 receives a pin 146 secured on the spring seat 140 to prevent the rotation of the shaft 144.
  • the rotor 142 rotates when the coil 141 is energized in response to the control signal from the microcomputer.
  • the revolutional movement of the rotor 142 is transformed to an axial movement of the out-put shaft 144.
  • This movement is transmitted to the quantity control valve 152 by the connecting rod 160, which thereby displaces the quantity control valve 152 axially to the predetermined position.
  • the area of the injection hole 153 then coincides with the oblong slot 154 of the quantity control valve 152, thereby regulating the effective area of the injection hole 153.
  • the quantity control valve 152 stops in this position when the effective area of the injection hole 153 is controlled.
  • the quantity control valve 152 does not move upward for every injection.
  • the valve 152 stays in its still position when a quantity control operation is not performed, because the quantity control valve 152 is separate from the nozzle needle 133.
  • the nozzle needle 133 moves from its initial position shown by the solid line in Fig.10, to the position shown by the chain line and the nozzle needle 133 is separated from the valve seat when the timing valve 147 is opened and compressed fuel is supplied to the reservoir 136. Therefore, the fuel is supplied through the slot 155 for feeding fuel and the oblong slot 154 of the quantity control valve 152, and the fuel is injected throgh the injection hole 153 in the form of mist.
  • the rotor 142 rotates when the coil 141 is energized in response to the control signal of the microcomputer, and the rotation is transmitted to the quantity control valve 152 through the out-put shaft 144 and the connecting rod 160. Accordingly, the quantity of fuel injected per unit time is decreased when the coinciding area between the injection hole 153 and the oblong slot 154 is smaller as shown in Fig.13.
