Description
- The present invention relates to an electromagnetically controlled fuel injector, in particular for supplying fuel to motor vehicle engines, of the type in which atomization of the injected fuel is obtained partly by effecting injection through one or more atomizer holes formed through a delivery element designed to provide a so-called "thin wall outflow" and partly by the delivery, through the injector, of an auxiliary air flow in addition to the fuel.
- Electromagnetic injectors for vehicle engines of the so-called "Pico" type are known, in which the obturator operated by an electromagnetic actuator regulates the outflow of the fuel through holes formed in a portion of a delivery plate or disc defined by a wall of very small thickness, of the order of only a few tenths of a millimetre or less; in this type of injector, atomization of the injected fuel (usually petrol) is achieved by means of the aero- and hydro-dynamic effects which occur, as is well known in rheology, when the outflow of a liquid (the fuel) occurs through a hole formed in a thin wall or through a hole whose length is very small compared to its diameter. In this way, the formation of fuel jets consisting of particles with a diameter of 180 to 200 microns is obtained; in many cases it would preferable, however, to obtain a greater degree of atomization, with the formation of particles of fuel of smaller dimensions, something which is not possible without being obliged to reduce the dimensions of the delivery holes such that there is the risk of blockage of the said holes, not to mention the associated problems relating to both the constructional design and premature wear of the holes themselves.
- In order to improve atomization of the jets of fuel produced by means of injectors it is also known, for example from German Patent No. 4103918, to obtain mixing of the jet of fuel with a jet of auxiliary air prior to actual injection of the fuel into the combustion chamber (or induction manifold) of the engine.
- The results obtained hitherto, however, have not been entirely satisfactory; furthermore, in the case of the aforementioned German patent, atomization of the jet is obtained also by dividing up the said jet into two separate jets by means of impact against an edge, something which causes rapid wear of the atomizer device and, therefore, reduces the life of the injector.
- The aim of the invention is to provide a fuel injector capable of achieving a high degree of atomization of the injected fuel whilst avoiding the risks of premature wear and/or blockage of the injection holes. A further aim of the invention is to provide an injector which is able to provide a more or less greater degree of atomization by means of the simple addition or replacement of a small number of inexpensive constructional components.
- According to the invention, therefore, a high-capacity atomization injector is provided, in particular for supplying fuel to motor vehicle engines, of the type comprising an electromagnetic actuator, a delivery element provided with at least one atomization hole, and an obturator element operated by the said electromagnetic actuator so as to control the formation of at least one jet of fuel through the said atomization hole, characterized in that it is provided with auxiliary atomization means comprising: at least one surface arranged so as to be transversely oblique with respect to the said jet of fuel, at a predetermined and relatively large distance from the atomization hole with respect to the jet diameter, such that the surface is struck by the jet at a predetermined point; and means for delivering a jet of auxiliary air oriented so as to direct the jet of air against the said oblique surface, substantially at the point of impact thereon of the said jet of fuel.
- This results, in a known manner, in the formation beforehand of one or more jets of atomized fuel which is then further atomized by means which are arranged downstream of the hole(s) for delivery of the jet(s) of fuel and which may therefore by absent or present without influencing operation of that part of the injector located upstream of them. The means used, moreover, consisting of an impact surface for the jet(s) of fuel and of a converging jet of air, ensure a high degree of atomization, but without subjecting the components to excessive wear.
- Preferably, the said auxiliary atomization means are all contained in a cap mounted removably on the outside of the injector casing, in the region of and axially projecting from one end of the latter provided with atomizaton hole(s) and the associated delivery element.
- In this way, by simply providing, on the casing of a currently known and already manufactured injector, snap-engagement fastening means for the said cap, it is possible to convert a conventional injector into an injector according to the invention. The injector according to the invention, then, by simply removing or mounting the cap which, since it does not have moving parts, is a very low-cost part, is able to provide a varying performance without requiring further modification of the more costly parts such as the actuator or obturator.
- Further characteristic features and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the description, which follows, of a non-limiting example of embodiment thereof, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is an elevation view of an injector provided in accordance with the invention, sectioned longitudinally along the axis of the injector itself; and
- Figure 2 illustrates, on a larger scale and in section, a detail of the injection end of the injector according to Figure 1.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2, a fuel injector is denoted in its entirety by 1, said injector, which is intended in particular for supplying fuel to motor vehicle engines, comprising a
casing 2 of the known type inside which there is defined afuel supply duct 3 connected to a known attachment union 4 extending outside thecasing 2, in line with the latter; theduct 3 ends in the region of afuel delivery element 5 defined by a disc mounted fluid-tightly, in a known manner, so as to close off abottom end 6 of thecasing 2 opposite the union 4 which defines conversely the top end of the casing itself; the latter has a substantially cylindrical symmetry in accordance with which theduct 3, union 4 anddisc 5 are arranged in a substantially coaxial manner. - The
casing 2 has accommodated inside it anelectromagnetic actuator 7 of the known type arranged coaxially in a ring around theduct 3 and operated and powered via a known electric socket 8 which is arranged on the outside of thecasing 2 in the vicinity and on one side of the union 4. Theactuator 7 is formed by aferromagnetic armature 9 which is designed to be displaced axially against the action of anopposition spring 10 by operation of theelectromagnetic actuator 7 and to which there is integrally fixed, by means of welding in the case in question, anobturator element 11 defined by a metal disc arranged facing and parallel with thedisc 5 defining the aforementioned delivery element. - In the non-limiting example shown, relating to an improved twinjet type injector for use with engines having 4 valves per cylinder, the
delivery element 5 is of the "thin wall" type since it is provided with a central circular portion 12 (Figure 2) with a smaller thickness compared to that of thedisc 5 as a whole, defined as the end wall of afrustoconical cavity 13 formed in thedisc 5 on the opposite side to theobturator 11, i.e. on the outside of thecasing 2. The thin wall defined by theportion 12 has, passing through it, at least one pair ofatomization holes 14, of the known type, of relatively short length compared to the diameter, opening of which for a predetermined duration is controlled by an axial sliding movement of theobturator 11, in turn operated by the movement of thearmature 9. When theactuator 7 is de-energised, theobturator disc 11 is kept by thespring 10 in fluid-tight contact with thedisc 5, thus hydraulically isolating theholes 14 from theduct 3; conversely, when theactuator 7 is energised, thedisc 11 is moved away from contact with thedisc 5, thereby establishing hydraulic communication between theholes 14 and theduct 3 into which pressurised fuel is supplied through the union 4. - Thus, by energising the
actuator 7 for the aforementioned predetermined duration, it is possible to control the formation through eachhole 14 of a corresponding jet of atomized fuel which is projected through theend 6 of thecasing 2; in the case in question, the use of a pair of opposite holes 14 (or of several pairs ofholes 14 arranged in a known manner in a ring, symmetrically on opposite sides with respect to the axis of theinjector 1 and with their axes suitably oriented) results in the formation of twojets 15 which are not parallel with each other (in the example shown they are slightly divergent), but which in any case are oriented in a mainly axial direction with respect to the direction of sliding of theobturator 11. - According to the invention, the
injector 1 comprises moreover auxiliary atomization means for eachjet 15, which are formed in anatomizer element 20 arranged immediately downstream, with respect to the direction of delivery of thejets 15, of thedelivery element 5, in axial abutment against the latter, on the opposite side to theobturator disc 11. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, thisatomizer element 20 is defined by a cap which is separate from thecasing 2 and mounted externally on thecasing 2, coaxially with respect to the latter and in the region of theend 6, axially projecting from theend 6 itself; for example, thecap 20 is provided with snap-engagement fastening means (which are known and not shown) cooperating with corresponding means provided on thecasing 2, so as to be able to fix thecap 20 on the latter in a removable manner. - With particular reference to Figure 2, the auxiliary atomization means of each
jet 15 provided on theelement 20 comprise at least onesurface 21 arranged so as to be transversely oblique with respact to the jet offuel 15, at a predetermined and relatively large distance from theatomization hole 14 with respect to the diameter of thejet 15, such that thesurface 21 is struck by thejet 15 at apredetermined point 22; and means for delivering a jet ofauxiliary air 23 oriented so as to direct the jet ofair 23 against theoblique surface 21, substantially at the point ofimpact 22 thereon of the corresponding jet offuel 15. In particular, delivery of the jet ofauxiliary air 23 for eachjet 15 of fuel is effected by means arespective hole 25 formed so as to pass through thecap 20 in a radial direction, at a predetermined distance in the axial direction from theend 6 of thecasing 2. - According to that illustrated in Figure 2, each
surface 21 designed to receive the impact of ajet 15 is formed internally in thecap 20, inside aduct 27 for delivering a highly atomizedjet 28 of fuel and air; in fact, inside eachduct 27 there emerges laterally a correspondingradial hole 25 for a jet ofauxiliary air 23 and theholes 23 are oriented obliquely with respect to the axis of symmetry of thecasing 2 and in particular converge towards the latter in the direction of delivery of the fuel; furthermore, eachsurface 21 is arranged so as to be struck by the jet offuel 15 with an angle of impact other than 0° and 90° and in particular, between these values. - In the example shown of a twinjet injector, inside the
cap 20 and in line with thecasing 2 there is provided a substantiallycylindrical chamber 30 of predetermined dimensions formed in theatomizer element 20 immediately downstream of theatomizer element 5; theatomization holes 14 emerge inside thechamber 30 and, on the opposite side, there extends a pair ofducts 27 formed so as to pass through theatomizer element 20 and arranged so as to diverge from one another in the delivery direction of thejets 15 of fuel; theducts 27 are delimited with respect to each other by respective lateral intrados surfaces which define twoopposite impact surfaces 22 arranged obliquely with respect to thejets 15 supplied from theatomizer holes 14 of thedelivery element 5 and in such a way as to be able to intercept the said jets at thepoints 22; theradial holes 25 are formed so as to pass on opposite sides through theatomizer element 20, each of them emerging laterally inside arespective duct 27 opposite a respectivelateral intrados surface 21 of the latter. - In this way (Figure 2), the
jets 15 of fuel are intercepted and re-atomized, being mixed with the jets ofair 23, by the static action of thesurfaces 21, giving rise to twodivergent jets 28 of fuel and air, where the particles of fuel are atomized to dimensions well below 180 microns and even to dimensions of the order of about 50 microns. The auxiliary air necessary for operation of theinjector 1 may be taken in a known manner, not illustrated for the sake of simplicity, from the induction manifold of the engine and conveyed into theholes 25 by means of suitable ducts; in the case in question theradial holes 25 are connected on the outside of theatomizer element 20 to amanifold 38 defined by respective bevels orchamfers 39 formed on the external lateral surface of theelement 20 in line with theholes 25 for facilitating (inviting) entry of the air into the latter, and by a correspondingannular chamber 40 formed in the case in question inside aseat 41 for theinjector 1, in which the latter is mounted in fluid-tight manner by means of aseal 42 mounted on thecap 20 and asecond seal 43 mounted around thecasing 2, so that thebevels 39 are kept facing thechamber 40; the latter is in turn connected, in a manner not illustrated for the sake of simplicity, via ducts formed in the cylinder head, to the induction manifold of the engine itself. - According to a possible variation, not shown for the sake of simplicity, the
manifold 38 may on the other hand be formed as one piece with theinjector 1, for example inside thecap 20, and be connected to the induction manifold of the engine via a flexible pipe. In any case, themanifold 38 receives during use a flow of auxiliary air of suitable throughput supplied from the induction manifold and directs it inside theholes 25 so as to create the directed jets ofair 23 which help form highlyatomized jets 28 of fuel which emerge eventually from theinjector 1 and are conveyed to the engine via theducts 27.
