Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to electrically operated valves, such as fuel injectors for injecting liquid fuel into an internal combustion engine, and particularly to a method for using fuel injectors to improve automobile emissions.
  • the movement of certain electrically-operated valves comprises a needle that is reciprocated axially within the interior of the valve's body in response to electrical energization and de-energization of an electro-mechanical actuator to thereby selectively open and close a flow path through the valve.
  • Fuel injectors typically contain a solenoid assembly that includes an electromagnetic coil which, when energized, is operative to effect axial movement of an armature.
  • a solenoid valve comprises an armature movable between a first and second position for causing a needle valve to contact and separate from a valve seat.
  • the basic solenoid design includes a coil, a stationary ferromagnetic pole, and the movable ferromagnetic armature. The armature is kept separated from the pole by a force such as gravity, spring, or pressure.
  • Manufacturers of gasoline engines specify in the product engineering specifications the static and dynamic flow rates of a fuel injector. This specification has applied limits typically of + /-3.2% for static flow and + /-3% for dynamic flow.
  • fuel injectors are tested 100% for these characteristics and those falling outside these limits are discarded. Those inside the limits fit a normal statistical distribution typically displayed as a histogram. When the injector is assembled into an engine the performance of the injector may be from different ends of the statistical distribution although still within the overall specification, this can create variables in emissions of the vehicle. This mixture of rich and lean injectors directly affects the emissions.
  • the invention comprises the implementation of a symbology feature onto a fuel injector
  • Principles of the invention are of course potentially applicable to forms of fuel injectors other than the one specifically herein illustrated and described and can be accomplished by a variety of data retention and recall means.
  • a method for retaining and recalling technical data associated with a solenoid operated fuel injector comprises the steps of testing technical data associated with the fuel injector and transferring the technical data results to the injector. The injector is then scanned to inform a vehicle computer of the technical specifications of the injector. Variations between injectors can be adjusted for to improve engine emissions.
  • Fig. 1 is a cross section view of a typical fuel injector, having a technical data bar code provided on exterior of the injector in accordance with the present invention
  • Figs. 2A and 2B illustrate two embodiments of the bar coding on the injector of Fig. 1 .
  • a typical fuel injector 10 designed to inject fuel into an internal combustion engine.
  • the fuel injector 1 0 includes as its major components thereof a housing 1 2 of magnetically permeable material and an overmold housing 14; an inlet connector 1 6 in the form of a tube also of magnetically permeable material; an outlet end 1 8; an adjusting tube 20; a spring 22; an armature 24; a solenoid coil assembly 26, comprising a bobbin 28 and a wire 30; electrical terminals 32 via which the fuel injector is connected with an electrical operating circuit for selectively energizing the solenoid coil; and a valve body assembly 34.
  • the armature 24 is movable between a first and second position for causing a needle valve, or guide pin, 36 to contact and separate from a valve seat 38, as the pin 36 moves within guide 40.
  • the injector is of the type which is commonly referred to as a top-feed type, wherein fuel is introduced through inlet connector 1 6 and emitted as injections from the axially opposite nozzle, or tip, end 1 8.
  • Figs. 2A and 2B there are illustrated two embodiments of data retention according to the present invention, in the form of a linear bar code and a two-dimensional bar code, respectively.
  • the amount of data a linear bar code 42 such as is shown in Fig. 2A, can contain is limited to a few bytes.
  • two-dimensional (2D) symbologies 44 such as is illustrated in Fig. 2B, have been developed, which contain information along two axes, not just one.
  • the present invention addresses a method to keep technical test results of an injector, such as static flow, dynamic flow, leak and opening time, with the injector.
  • the data is preferably carried on the injector in symbology form, such as a bar code.
  • the bar code is preferably located on the exterior surface of the injector, such as at location 46, and is cut into the overmold housing 1 4 of the injector.
  • the data can then be downloaded to any existing vehicle computer system.
  • the computer system software is then adjusted to improve emissions.
  • a data marking means such as a laser marking system, may be used to transfer the technical data results and specifications onto the injector, preferably in a scannable form, such as a bar code.
  • the laser cuts the nylon molded surface of the overmold housing, resulting in a series of markings, such as white lines, that are readable with an appropriate scanner.
  • An engine manufacturer can then scan each injector at assembly, thereby informing the automobile computer of the technical specifications of each injector.
  • Associated software then "adjusts” or “offsets” given parameters to accommodate injector specification variations, thereby presenting all injectors as identical to the engine.
  • the present invention therefore, provides for a method of data retention and recall, and an "adjust" or “offset” means for collapsing the variability of multiple injectors to a single, centered, injector flow.
  • the injector manufacturing process can have an injector laser marking station to accommodate multiple digits of information. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, this process is applicable to all fuel injectors.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un procédé de stockage et de restitution de données techniques associées à un injecteur à valve électromagnétique (10), qui permet d'améliorer les émissions d'un moteur. On soumet chaque injecteur à un essai de façon à obtenir des spécifications de données techniques relatives audit injecteur. On transfert (46) ensuite les spécifications de données techniques à l'injecteur (10), par exemple en utilisant un marquage au laser permettant de marquer l'injecteur d'un code à barre (44) contenant ces spécifications de données techniques. Il est ensuite possible de lire ces spécifications de données techniques stockées sur l'injecteur en utilisant un explorateur. On transmet ensuite ces spécifications de données techniques restituées à un ordinateur du véhicule. Ce dernier corrige les variations existant entre les injecteurs de manière à réduire la variabilité du flux des injecteurs jusqu'à l'obtention d'un flux unique et centré.
