FUEL-INJECTION NOZZLE FOR OIL-ENGINES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented oct. 19, 1909.
Application filed March 23, 1909. Serial No. 485,160.
,citizen of the Unitedl States, residing lin East Williamsburg, county of Queens, StateA of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fuel-Injection Nozzles for Oil-Engines, of whichthe following is a full, true, and concise specification.
This invention is an improvement in injection nozzles for spraying fuel into internal combustion enoines, and particularly into engines adaptedD for burning-the heavier fuel oils, the object of the invention, being particularly to improve 'the Iineness and uniformity of distribution of such fuel throughout the combustion space and to promote the rapidity of its introduction, vaporization and combustion, thereby improving the efcienoy of the engine.
The invention also involves features of construction and operation as hereinafter eX- plained and shown in the drawings, and more particularly pointed out yin the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure l represents in longitudinal centra-l section a spraying device constructed and operating according to this invention, and includes a vportion of the water-jacketed wall in which the device is located, when in use. Fig. 2is an enlarged detail view of the tip portion of the same device shown; and Fig. 3 is a transverse sec-' tion of Fig. 2 on line III-IIL The device comprises a tubular nozzle support or casing 1 adapted to be removably secured within an opening in the cylinder or head of the engine designated 2, for which purpose it is shoulderedI and provided with a threaded sleeve 8, revolubly fitted upon its portion of reduced diameter, so as to be screwed into the opening to confine the cas- -ing therein. The casing is bored with a central passage-way and its outer end car# ries a union coupling connecting it with the oil supply pipe 4 which leads from the oil pump, not shown. The central portion of the interior passage-way is enlarged to form a valve chamber which contains a ball-valve 5 with its seat-ing spring 6 for the purpose of prevent-ing back flow of fuel through the nozzle and casing and preventing the combustion from reaching the oil in the supply pipe.' The inner end of the central passage-l way is further :enlarged and interiorly threaded at its extreme end, to receive the threaded .base of the nozzle proper, marked 7, which closes'the valve chamber and affords -an l abutment for the thrust of the Avalve spring. Thisv nozzle 7 is provided with coaxial bores of two diameters. The larger bore 8 communicates directly with the Valve chamber, and the smaller bore terminates in a centrally located andcomparatively fine needle-jet aperture 9 in the tip end of the nozzle, which constitutes the discharge orifice of the device, through which the oil emer es into the combustion space.
The relatlon of the casing -tothefenginewall is lsuch that the nozzle is supported 1n' a projecting position Within the combustion space, so that it becomes heated from the combustion and thereby pre-heats and vaporizes the oil passing through it. 'A pin l0 occupies the smaller bore of the nozzle, fitting it sufficiently close to be sustained in axial alinement With the casing and nozzle, with its free end extending into and through the bore 8 of larger diameter and projecting through the` same into the valve-chamber and the spiral spring 6 therein. The end of the pin 10,in conjunction with the tip end of the smaller bore, forms a small chamber or s ace marked l1 immediately behind the ischarge orifice 9. The end of the pin is preferably flat for this purpose, the extreme end ofthe bore being tapered or dished toward the orifice as shown, preferably at an angle of 45 degrees with the axis of the device. The'en aging surfaces of the pin and bore are so ormed as to provide between them one or more spiral channels or passages 12 which lead from the space surrounding the pin in the larger bore and pass spirally aroundthe pin, with a progressively decreasing pitch toward the tip, until they reach the chamber l1, which they enter in a tangential direction. Two such channels are shown in the drawing and each is formed by spirally grooving the surface of the pin, beginning at a point on the pin within the larger bore where the grooves are nearly pafallel with the axis thereof, and then Winding around the pin with decreasing this purpose',
pitch until at the inner extremity they are nearly at right angles to the said aXis where they will be substantially parallel with each other and separated only by a thin iin or thread.
rlhe oil or fuel admitted under suitable pressure to the nozzle casing passes longitudinally through the valve chamber and larger bore of the nozzle and thence follows the two channels of decreasing pitch into the chamber 11, in the meantime becoming more or less vaporized by heat absorbed from the nozzle and gradually acquiring a change in its direction so that a reservoir of pre-heated fuel is thus produced in'the chamber 11 and maintained in a state of violent rotary motion while the fuel is passing. The discharge orifice emits a revolving jet of such fuel from the center of this whirling body and such jeton emerging into the combustion space instantly bursts into expanding particles from the centrifugal eHect, and produces a thoroughly disseminated and finely divided charge of fuel which results in immediate combustion. The decreasing pitch of the supply passages allows the oil to be brought to its required high rotary velocity against the frictional resistance of the passages and the inertia of the fuell in the chamber with practical instantaneity and with the least shock or wear on the controlling valves. The pin is held in the nozzle by its friction and by the pressure of the oil, and is readily removable for cleansing by withdrawing it, by grasping its squared free end which, as described above, projects outwardly beyond the base of the nozzle for j The projecting tip of the nozzle is relatively slender as compared to its base in order to facilitate the heating of thev fuel, and between the tip and thel base,
'it is provided with a portion 7 of squared or angular section adapted for engagement by a wrench for unscrewing thenozzle from the casing.
