Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fuel injection system for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine and of the kind comprising a high pressure fuel pump including a cam actuated pumping plunger, the cam being driven in use by the associated engine, a fuel injection nozzle positioned to direct fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine and mounted remote from the pump and connected thereto by a high pressure pipe line, and a spill valve operable to spill fuel delivered by the pump during a working stroke of the plunger thereby to terminate delivery of fuel through the injection nozzle to the engine.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a system of the kind specified in a simple and convenient form.
  • the spill valve is positioned adjacent the fuel injection nozzle.
  • the fuel injection system comprises a high pressure fuel pump 10 having an outlet which is connected through a delivery valve 6, by a high pressure pipe line 11 to the inlet of a fuel injection nozzle 12.
  • the pump includes a pumping plunger 9 which is movable inwardly in a bore 8 by means of a cam 7.
  • the cam is a rotary cam but it can be a fixed cam such as is found in a distributor type of pump.
  • Fuel is supplied to the bore 8 when a filling port 5 connected to a source 4 of fuel under pressure is covered by the plunger during the initial portion of its inward movement.
  • the nozzle in use is positioned to direct fuel into a combustion space of an associated engine and the pump 10 is mounted on the engine at a position remote from the nozzle.
  • the injection nozzle 12 is also of conventional form having a fuel pressure actuated valve member which is moved by the fuel pressure to move the valve member against the action of a spring 16 to allow fuel flow through an outlet.
  • a spill valve 13 the operation of which is controlled by an electro-­magnetic actuator 17.
  • the flow of current to the actuator 17 is determined by an electronic control system (not shown).
  • the spill valve 13 is mounted in the same body to which the nozzle is attached. However, the spill valve can form a separate component which would be located in close proximity to the nozzle.
  • the spill valve includes a valve member 18 slidable in a bore in a valve body 19, the valve member defining a head 20 engageable with a seating defined by the body. Beneath the head the valve member and the body define a chamber 21 which is connected to the inlet of the nozzle.
  • the valve member is biased by a spring to the open position in which fuel can flow from the chamber 21 into a further chamber 22 from which extends an outlet 23.
  • the valve member 18 is coupled to the armature 24 of the actuator, the armature being of stepped form and the actuator also includes a stator 25 defining ribs presented to the steps defined by the armature.
  • the stator also carries a plurality of windings and when the latter are supplied with electric current, the armature assumes the position shown in the drawing and the head 20 of the valve member is held in engagement with the seating to prevent flow of fuel between the inlet of the nozzle and the outlet 23.
  • the flow of fuel from the outlet 23 of the spill valve 13 is conveniently controlled by a back pressure control 14 which is shown as a simple restrictor.
  • the control may be pressure relief valve or a spring controlled piston which can absorb the spilled fuel and also regulate the residual pressure in the pipe line.
  • the actuator 17 associated with the spill valve is energised in order to close the valve head 20 onto the seating and at the commencement of the working stroke of the plunger the fuel in the pipe line 11 will be pressurised and the valve member in the nozzle opened against the action of its spring to permit fuel flow to the engine.
  • the actuator is de-energised and the valve head of the spill valve is moved to the open position.
  • the pressure in the pipe line 11 adjacent the injection nozzle falls quickly thereby allowing the valve member in the nozzle to move quickly to the closed position.
  • the pressure in the pipe line is controlled by the back pressure control 14 which will restrict the rate at which the pressure can collapse and as stated, the control may be such that a residual pressure is maintained in the pipe line.
  • the quantity of fuel which is supplied to the associated engine may be varied by opening the spill valve at an appropriate instant in time following the commencement of delivery of fuel by the pump.
  • the spill valve may be opened at a pre-determined position of the plunger of the pump in its bore in which case the quantity of fuel is controlled by varying the length of the working stroke of the plunger using for example a helical groove on the plunger which controls the start of fuel delivery by the pump.
  • valve 15 there is an additional valve 15 and this valve is also actuated by an electro-magnetic actuator under the control of the electronic control system and in this case the valve 15 is closed by energising the associated actuator, to initiate the delivery of fuel through the injection nozzle. It is convenient for the closing movement of valve 15 to be assisted by the developing fuel pressure in the pipe line and for the opening movement of the valve 13 to be assisted by the fuel pressure in the pipeline. In this case therefore the valve 13 would be closed before the valve 15 in order to minimise the size of the actuator required.
  • the valves can be provided with balanced valve members.
  • the quantity of fuel delivered to the associated engine is determined by the displacement of fuel which takes place when both valves are closed. If it is required to vary the timing of fuel delivery for a given quantity of fuel the time at which the actuators of the valves are de-energised must be altered by the same amount assuming of course that the cam which actuates the pump plunger has a constant rate. If the cam does not have a constant rate the shape of the cam must be taken into account by the associated control system and this can be achieved by the use of suitable maps. The resilience of the fuel column must also be taken into account it being understood that when fuel delivery takes place soon after the start of inward movement of the plunger there will be a greater volume of fuel in the system than when delivery takes place later in the inward stroke of the pump plunger.
