Definitions
- the present invention relates to an internal combustion engine with compressor function comprising, in addition to intake and exhaust valves for each cylinder, an extra exhaust valve in at least one cylinder, which extra exhaust valve, in its open position, puts the cylinder chamber in communication with valve means containing an exhaust duct and disposed to permit exhausting of intake air to a pneumatic system but prevent intake of air to the cylinder chamber via said ex ⁇ haust duct.
- Such a compressor arrangement can, inter alia, be designed to supplement the ordinary air compressor, which normally supplies the vehicle pneumatic system, when the capacity of this normal compressor for some reason is not
- a diesel engine with compressor function of the above-mentio ⁇ ned type is shown and described in US-A-2 005 536.
- the engine 25 is provided with a mechanical injection system having a conventional multiple cylinder injection pump. Via a system of cam shafts with cams controlling shunt valves, the fuel supply to the compressor cylinder in question is interrupted at the same time as the extra exhaust valve is opened under i 30 the influence of additional cams on the cam shafts.
- This f r known installation is complicated in its mechanical design and increases, inter alia due to the presence of the shunt valves on the high pressure side of the injection system, the susceptibility of the injection system to disruption.
- the purpose of the present invention is to achieve an in ⁇ ternal combustion engine of the type described by way of introduction in which the supply of fuel to a cylinder ser ⁇ ving as a compressor cylinder can be interrupted without the need to supplement the engine injection system with complica ⁇ ted specially designed equipment.
- the engine has a fuel injection system with a unit injector with an electrically operated spill valve for each cylinder and that means are arranged which can keep the spill valve of the cylinder provided with the extra exhaust valve open at the same time as the extra exhaust valve is open.
- an elec ⁇ tronic control unit is coupled to a solenoid valve in each injector.
- This valve determines, in response to signals from the control unit, when the injection to each cylinder is to be initiated and terminated.
- the valve closes, the pump piston integrated in the unit injector builds up a pressure and the injection is initiated when this pressure exceeds the opening pressure of the injection nozzle.
- the solenoid valve is opened and the pressure drops below the opening pressure of the injection nozzle. The supply of fuel to a particular cylinder can thus be entirely cut off simply by a control unit signal to open the spill valve of the associated unit injector, when the cylinder is to function as a compressor cylinder.
- the engine is a direct injection diesel and has a piston 3 with a depression 4 forming a combustion chamber. It has a fuel injection system with so-called unit injectors 5, i.e. injectors each provided with an individually integrated piston driven by a cam shaft 6 via a rocker arm 7 and a spill valve (only in ⁇ dicated here) operated by an electrical magnet 8 for control ⁇ ling the period of injection.
- unit injectors i.e. injectors each provided with an individually integrated piston driven by a cam shaft 6 via a rocker arm 7 and a spill valve (only in ⁇ dicated here) operated by an electrical magnet 8 for control ⁇ ling the period of injection.
- the cylinder shown in the Figure has a bore 10 in its cylin ⁇ der head 2, in which a spindel 11 to a valve disc 12 is displaceably mounted.
- the bore 10 has a shoulder 13.
- a heli ⁇ cal spring 14 is tensioned between the shoulder 13 and a sleeve 15 fixed at the end of the spindel 11 and biases the valve disc 12 towards a valve seat 16 at the edge of a wide ⁇ ned portion 17 of the bore 10.
- a duct 18 extends out through the cylinder head.
- the control unit 20 in the Figure designates the electronic control unit of the fuel injection system, into which, in a known manner, signals are fed representing throttle opening, engine tempe ⁇ rature etc. for controlling the injection.
- the control unit cooperates in accordance with the invention with the portion 10a of the bore 10 above the valve spindel.
- a command represented by the arrow "a" in the Figure
- the bore 10a above the spindel 11 is put under pressure at the same time as current to the electromagnet 8 is cut off.
- the valve disc 12 is displaced to its open position at the same time as the spill valve 9 of the injector 5 is moved to its open position, thus returning the fuel to a return line 23 via a channel 22.
- the command to the control unit can be given manually via a manual switch (not shown) or automatically, for example via a pressure sensor in a pneumatic system coupled to the cylinder duct 18.
- a manual switch not shown
- a pressure sensor in a pneumatic system coupled to the cylinder duct 18.
- one or more cylinders can be made in the manner described above.
- the use of an electronically controlled unit injector system makes it possible in a simple manner to engage the compressor function and to determine how many cylinders are to work as compressor at each occasion.
