Definitions
- This invention relates to fuel injectors of the type that inject fuel into an internal combustion engine, and in particular to a novel cooperation between the needle valve and the valve seat that reduces the dispersion of fuel injected from the fuel injector through a thin disk orifice at the injector nozzle, especially in an off-axis direction.
- the invention offers rather dramatically reduced dispersion for various multiple split stream configurations although inventive principles can be useful with other injected stream configurations.
- control involves the extent to which an injected fuel stream disperses, or spreads out, as it leaves a metering orifice in the nozzle, and for certain engine configurations, it is important to limit the extent to which an injected fuel stream disperses.
- the present invention relates to reducing the dispersion of injected fuel, especially in off-axis directions from multiple metering orifices although certain principles of the invention have application to other orifice configurations.
- the invention arises not from any modification to a metering orifice or to a thin disk that contains one or more such metering orifices, but rather to a modification to the shape of the tip end of the needle valve and its cooperation with the associated valve seat. While the geometry of a needle tip end and its associated valve seat is apt to bear some relation to controlling the nature of the injected fuel stream leaving a metering orifice, it has been discovered that a particular shaping of the needle tip end in relation to the valve seat produces significantly less dispersion of injected fuel streams in comparison to a prior needle tip end that is spherically contoured thorughout.
- the present invention may be said to relate to a fuel injector for injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine
- the fuel injector comprises a body, a fuel passageway through the body leading to a nozzle from which fuel is injected, a valve seat member disposed internally of the body within the passageway and comprising a frustoconical valve seat leading to and circumscribing a hole, an electrically operated mechanism comprising a needle valve element that is reciprocated relative to the valve seat to close and open the passageway to flow by seating and unseating the tip end of the needle valve element on and from the valve seat to disallow and allow flow through the circumscribed hole in the valve seat member, and an orifice disk which is disposed against the seat member in covering relation to said hole, and through one of more metering orifices of which, fuel is injected, characterized in that the tip end of the needle valve element comprises a proximal tip portion and a distal tip portion, said proximal tip portion comprises a surface in the form of

- Fig. 1 is a longitudinal view, partly in cross section, of a fuel injector embodying principles of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a fragmentary longitudinal cross section view proximate the nozzle of the fuel injector.
- Fig. 3 is a longitudinal view of the needle tip end.
- Figs. 4-10 are graphical plots diagrams useful in illustrating representative improvements obtained with the invention. etailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
- Fig. 1 shows a fuel injector 1 0 to comprise: a housing 1 2 o magnetically permeable material; a fuel inlet tube 1 4 also o magnetically permeable material; an adjusting tube 1 6; a helical coil spring 1 8; an armature 20 having a needle valve element 21 joined thereto; a solenoid coil assembly 22, including electrical terminals 23 extending therefrom via which the fuel injector is connected with an electrical operating circuit (not shown) for selectively energizing the solenoid coil; a non-metallic end cap 24; and a valve body assembly 26.
- the relative organization and arrangement of these various parts are essentially the same as in the fuel injector of commonly assigned U.S. patent No. 4,61 0,080.
- the injector is the type which is commonly referred to as a top-feed type wherein fuel is introduced through inlet tube 14 and emitted as injections from the axially opposite nozzle, or tip, end.
- Principles of the invention are equally applicable to "side-" and "bottom-" feed injectors.
- Inlet tube 1 4 is disposed within solenoid coil assembly 22, and in addition to conveying pressurized liquid fuel into the interior of the fuel injector, it functions as a stator of the magnetic circuit that operates armature 20.
- the lower end of tube 1 4 and the upper end of armature 20 cooperatively define a working gap 28. Because the axial dimension of the working gap is small, it appears in Fig. 1 simply as a line thickness.
- spring 1 8 pushes armature 20 away from tube 14 to cause the tip end of valve element 21 to be seated on a valve seat member 30 (to be described shortly) so that fuel is prevented from flowing through the fuel injector's internal passageway from the inlet to the nozzle.
- Valve seat member 30 is disposed in the nozzle end of housing 1 2 and comprises a frustoconical seat 32. Figs. 2 and 3 show more detail.
- a needle guide member 36 is affixed to the upstream rim of seat member 30 for guiding the motion of the needle proximate the tip end; and it also contains several holes 36a allowing fuel to pass through.
- Seat 32 funnels to a circular hole 38 that is covered by a thin orifice disk 40.
- a back-up washer 42 holds disk 40 against member 30 and the parts 42, 40, and 30 are axially secured within the nozzle end of the fuel injector by being axially captured between an internal shoulder 44, and a crimp 46.
- Disk 40 contains a central dimple 48 that has two orifices 48a, 48b diametrically opposite each other for injecting fuel in a dual split stream pattern. As each stream leaves an orifice, it has a tendency to disperse, or spread out. In certain applications where targeting of a stream is especially important, it is desirable to minimize the dispersion of the stream.
- this is accomplished by modifying the shape of the needle tip end so that instead of being completely spherically contoured, it comprises a proximal tip portion and a distal tip portion, wherein the proximal tip portion comprises a surface 52 in the form of a segment of an imaginary sphere that is geometrically defined by imaginary spaced- apart, parallel planes passing through such imaginary sphere, said surface of said proximal tip portion being that portion of said tip end that seats on and unseats from seat 32 as valve element 21 is reciprocated, and the distal tip portion comprises a frustoconical surface 54 extending tangentially from surface 52 of the proximal tip portion.
- the frustoconical surface 54 preferably terminates in substantially a cone tip 56 so that the entirety of the distal tip portion may be deemed substantially a full cone extending tangentially from surface 52.
- a substantially full cone includes a cone whose tip comes to a point that is slightly blunted, or flattened, so as to be substantially, but not perfectly, a sharp point.
- surface 52 has a spherical radius o 1 .18 mm and the included cone angle is 1 10 degrees.
- Seat 32 has a included angle of 90 degrees.
- Figs. 4-6 represent "topographical plots” o spray dispersion patterns of three substantially identical fuel injector embodying principles of the invention while Figs. 7-1 0 represen “topographical plots” of spray dispersion patterns of four fuel injector substantially identical to those three, but embodying a prior needle ti that was fully spherically contoured. These tests were conducte under like conditions with the target fixture disposed in a plane 1 4 mm from the injector nozzle.
- the invention retains a sphericall contoured proximal segment of the needle tip end for seatin purposes, but has a frustoconical surface - preferably substantially full cone - extending from that spherically contoured segment.
