Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present application relates to a compressed natural gas injector which is tolerant of contamination in the gas.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Compressed natural gas (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “CNG”) is becoming a common automotive fuel for commercial fleet vehicles and residential customers. In vehicles, the CNG is delivered to the engine in precise amounts through gas injectors, hereinafter referred to as “CNG injectors”. The CNG injector is required to deliver a precise amount of fuel per injection pulse and maintain this accuracy over the life of the injector. In order to maintain this level of performance for a CNG injector, certain strategies are required to help reduce the effects of contaminants in the fuel and to deliver the fuel to the intake manifold in precise amounts and flow patterns.
- In general, fuel injectors require extremely tight tolerances on many of the internal components to accurately meter and deliver the fuel. We have invented a CNG fuel injector which incorporates a novel fuel columnating jet device which assists in precision delivery of the fuel, reduces engine misfire, and improves exhaust emissions.
- An electromagnetically operable fuel injector for a gaseous fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, said injector having a generally longitudinal axis, which comprises, a ferromagnetic core, a magnetic coil at least partially surrounding the ferromagnetic core, an armature magnetically coupled to the magnetic coil and being movably responsive to the magnetic coil, the armature actuating a valve closing element which interacts with a fixed valve seat of a fuel valve and being movable away from the fixed valve seat when the magnetic coil is excited, the fixed valve seat defining a fuel valve aperture. The armature has a generally elongated shape and a generally central opening for axial reception and passage of gaseous fuel from a fuel inlet connector positioned adjacent thereto, the fuel inlet connector and the armature being adapted to permit a first flow path of gaseous fuel between said armature and said magnetic coil as part of a path leading to said fuel valve. At least one fuel jet columnating device is positioned below the fuel valve for receiving fuel flow from the valve aperture in a stream having a first transverse dimension, and for permitting the stream to widen into a funnel shaped section having a transverse dimension greater than the first transverse dimension, and to thereafter columnate stream to a transverse dimension greater than the transverse dimension of the valve aperture.
- The fuel inlet connector and the armature are spaced to define a working gap therebetween and are adapted to permit the first flow path of gaseous fuel within said working gap. The valve body is positioned downstream of the armature and has at least one aperture in a wall portion thereof for reception of fuel from at least two of the flow paths of gaseous fuel from the armature and the fuel inlet connector. The fuel injector further comprises a valve body shell at least partially surrounding the armature and the valve body, the valve body shell defining a radial space with the armature for passage of the first flow path of gaseous fuel between the armature and the valve body shell. The fuel inlet connector is positioned above the armature and is spaced from the armature by a working gap, the fuel inlet connector defining a through passage for directing fuel toward the armature and the fixed valve seat.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention are described hereinbelow with reference to the drawings wherein:
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view, partially in cross-section, of a compressed natural gas injector for which the jet orifice flow directing device according to the present invention is contemplated;
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevational cross-sectional view of the lower portion of the injector of FIG. 1; and
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged elevational view of the armature shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and a cross-sectional view of the valve body shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, incorporating jet orifice fuel flow directing device constructed according to the invention.
- Referring initially to FIG. 1 there is shown a CNG injector10 which is constructed according to the present invention. Injectors of the type contemplated herein are described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,494,224, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein. Significant features of the present invention are also disclosed in commonly assigned, commonly filed (Attorney Docket No. 98P7677US01) copending application entitled “Contaminant Tolerant Natural Gas Injector and Method of Directing Gaseous Fuel Therethrough, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The injector10 includes
housing 12 containingarmature 14 to whichvalve needle 16 is attached by crimping as will be described later in conjunction with FIG. 12.Fuel inlet connector 18 includes central fuel flow opening 13 and CNG filter 20 at the upper end portion of opening 13 as shown. Thefuel inlet connector 18 also includes adjustingtube 22 connected thereto at 24 by a known crimping procedure.Housing 12 includes innernon-magnetic shell 26 which surrounds theinlet connector 18 andarmature 14 having central fuel flow opening 11 as shown.Armature 14 andinlet connector 18 define withhousing 12, an enclosure forcoil 28 which is selectively energized to movearmature 14 andneedle 16 upwardly to open thevalve aperture 41, and selectively deenergized to permitarmature 14 andneedle 16 to return to the “closed valve” position as shown, under the force ofcoil spring 30. Fuel flow into the injector begins at filter 20 and passes throughfuel inlet connector 18, toarmature 14, and ultimately tovalve aperture 41 ofvalve seat 40 into the intake manifold of the engine (not shown). - Referring further to FIG. 1 in conjunction with FIG. 2,
valve body shell 32, which is made of a ferromagnetic material and which forms part of a magnetic circuit, surroundsvalve body 34 and has at the upper end,upper guide 36 as shown.Space 36 a betweenupper guide 36 andarmature 14 is about 0.010 to about 0.015 mm on the diameter, and permits guiding movement ofarmature 14. Lower O-rings 38 provide sealing between the injector 10 and the engine intake manifold (not shown) and upper O-rings 40 provide sealing between the injector 10 and the fuel rail (also not shown). Valvebody 34 defines centralfuel flow opening 35. - In FIG. 2,
valve body shell 32 is attached tovalve body 34, preferably byweld 32 a, and at the upper end byweld 26 a, tonon-magnetic shell 26.Non-magnetic shell 26 is in turn welded to fuel inlet connector at 26 b. Thus, fuel flowing fromfuel inlet connector 18 acrossworking gap 15 must flow through the clearance space 14 a betweenarmature 14 andvalve body shell 32 which is also provided to permit upward and downward movement ofarmature 14. The space 14 a is approximately 0.10 to 0.30 mm on the diameter. - Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2,
valve seat 40 contains avalve orifice 41 and a funnelshaped needle rest 42 having a frusto-conical cross-sectional shape. Thevalve seat 40 is maintained in position by back-upwasher 44 and sealed against fuel leakage withvalve body 34 by O-ring 46. Overmold 48 of suitable plastic material such as nylon supportsterminal 50 which extends intocoil 28 and is connected viaconnection 51 to provide selective energization of the coil to open the valve by raising thearmature 14 andvalve needle 16 against the force ofspring 30.Coil 28 is surrounded by dielectricplastic material 53 as shown in the FIGS. - In injectors of this type, the interface space15 (or working gap 15) between the inlet connector and the armature is extremely small, i.e. in the order of about 0.3 mm (millimeters). However in comparison to gasoline injectors it is relatively large, since the working gap in gasoline injectors is between about 0.08 mm and 0.14 mm.
- Referring now to FIG. 3, the injector10 incorporates a fuel
columnating jet device 70 which includes a shallow funnel shapedsection 72 connected to a generally tubular shapedcolumnating section 74. Gaseous fuel passing throughvalve aperture 41 is then allowed to pass through funnelshaped section 72 so that the stream widens, and then to be columnated into a steady gaseous stream incolumnating section 74. The transverse dimension of the columnated stream is greater than the transverse dimension offuel valve aperture 41.Retainer disc 78 is provided to retain thejet device 60 in position belowfuel valve aperture 41. Thefuel columnating device 74 enhances mixture quality, reduces fuel delivery time and enables single or multiple discharge orientation for improved gaseous flow targeting. A narrow gaseous flow discharge angle can entrain the surrounding working fluid (mostly air) and can impart useful turbulent energies to directed air/fuel mixtures flowing through a port, intake valve and/or into a combustion chamber to reduce in-cylinder air/fuel mixture gradients. This feature has proven to significantly reduce engine misfire and to improve exhaust emissions. - It has been found that the injector of the present invention provides improved operation, particularly by improving the flow pattern of the CNG as described, and improving the control over the flow of gas directed to the intake manifold.
- Although the present invention is particularly intended for use with CNG fuels, it is self evident that the use of any liquid or gaseous fuels are contemplated, particular those fuels which are relatively high in contamination, since the tolerance of the contaminants has been fully addressed by the disclosed structures.
- Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the illustrated preferred embodiments, variations and modifications may be provided within the scope and spirit of the invention as described and as defined by the following claims.
