That is, the timing T11 of the crank angle R11 is the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50. At this timing T11, as shown in FIG. 9, the injection of water 203 into the first water injection position P1 in the fuel column 201 in the fuel flow path is started.

Accordingly, the fuel amount between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 starts to be adjusted so as to decrease.
- the water injection to the fuel column 201 is not started at the timing T0 within the period from the completion of the previous fuel injection to the water injection start timing (timing T11).

Description
本発明は、船舶に搭載される舶用ディーゼルエンジンの燃料噴射装置に関するものである。
The present invention relates to a fuel injection device for a marine diesel engine mounted on a marine vessel.
従来、船舶の分野においては、舶用ディーゼルエンジンから排出される排ガス中の窒素酸化物(NOx)を低減する手法として、シリンダ内の燃焼室に燃料および水を噴射する水噴射技術が提案されている(例えば特許文献1~4参照)。
Conventionally, in the marine field, as a technique for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gas discharged from marine diesel engines, water injection technology for injecting fuel and water into a combustion chamber in a cylinder has been proposed. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 to 4).
特許文献1~4に開示される水噴射技術では、燃料噴射ポンプから燃料噴射弁に圧送される燃料の流通経路内に水を注入する等して、この流通経路内に複数の燃料層と注水層(注入された水の層)とが交互に並ぶように燃料および水が多層液柱状に形成される。この多層液柱状の燃料および水は、これら複数の燃料層と注水層との並び順(例えば、燃料-水―燃料-水-燃料等の順序)で1つの燃料噴射弁からシリンダ内の燃焼室へ層状に噴射される。
In the water injection techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4, a plurality of fuel layers and water injections are injected into the flow path by, for example, injecting water into the flow path of the fuel that is pumped from the fuel injection pump to the fuel injection valve. Fuel and water are formed in a multilayer liquid column shape so that the layers (injected water layers) are arranged alternately. The multilayer liquid columnar fuel and water are supplied from one fuel injection valve to the combustion chamber in the cylinder in the order in which the plurality of fuel layers and the water injection layer are arranged (for example, fuel-water-fuel-water-fuel, etc.). It is jetted in layers.
ところで、上述したように燃料および水が層状に噴射される水噴射技術において、燃料の流通経路内で各注水層に挟まれる燃料層の燃料の量(以下、注水層間の燃料量という)は、舶用ディーゼルエンジンの安定した性能を確保する等の観点から、極めて重要な因子である。すなわち、燃焼室への燃料の1回当りの噴射量(以下、燃料噴射量という)に対する注水層間の燃料量の割合が過大または過小である場合、舶用ディーゼルエンジンは、燃焼不良等を引き起こしたり、燃費の悪化等を招いたりする恐れがある。このような事態を回避するためには、燃料噴射量に対する割合が過大または過小とならないように注水層間の燃料量を調整できるようにすることが好ましい。
By the way, in the water injection technique in which fuel and water are injected in layers as described above, the amount of fuel in the fuel layer sandwiched between the water injection layers in the fuel flow path (hereinafter referred to as the fuel amount between the water injection layers) is: This is an extremely important factor from the viewpoint of ensuring stable performance of marine diesel engines. That is, when the ratio of the amount of fuel between the water injection layers to the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber (hereinafter referred to as the fuel injection amount) is excessive or excessive, the marine diesel engine may cause combustion failure, There is a risk of deteriorating fuel consumption. In order to avoid such a situation, it is preferable to be able to adjust the fuel amount between the water injection layers so that the ratio to the fuel injection amount does not become excessive or small.
しかしながら、上述した従来技術では、燃料層を挟む下流側(燃料噴射弁の噴射口側)および上流側(燃料噴射ポンプ側)の各注水層のうち一方の注水層の注水が完了した後に他方の注水層の注水が行われているため、燃料噴射量に対する割合が過大または過小とならないように注水層間の燃料量を調整することは困難である。これに加え、燃料噴射量は、通常、舶用ディーゼルエンジンの負荷(以下、エンジン負荷と適宜いう)の増加に伴い増加し、減少に伴い減少する。このため、上述した従来技術では、ある特定のエンジン負荷時に注水層間の燃料量が燃料噴射量に対して過大でも過小でもない割合となっている可能性はあるものの、これ以外のエンジン負荷時には燃料噴射量に対する注水層間の燃料量の割合が過大または過小となっている場合が多く、エンジン負荷に応じて注水層間の燃料量を調整することは困難である。
However, in the above-described prior art, after the water injection of one of the water injection layers on the downstream side (fuel injection valve side) and the upstream side (fuel injection pump side) sandwiching the fuel layer is completed, the other water injection layer is completed. Since water injection is performed in the water injection layer, it is difficult to adjust the fuel amount between the water injection layers so that the ratio to the fuel injection amount does not become excessive or small. In addition, the fuel injection amount usually increases with an increase in the load of the marine diesel engine (hereinafter referred to as engine load as appropriate) and decreases with a decrease. For this reason, in the above-described prior art, there is a possibility that the fuel amount between the water injection layers is not excessive or small with respect to the fuel injection amount at a specific engine load. In many cases, the ratio of the fuel amount between the water injection layers to the injection amount is too large or too small, and it is difficult to adjust the fuel amount between the water injection layers according to the engine load.
本発明は、上記の事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、エンジン負荷に応じて注水層間の燃料量を調整することができる燃料噴射装置を提供することを目的とする。
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a fuel injection device capable of adjusting the amount of fuel between the water injection layers in accordance with the engine load.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cylinder jacket 11 is provided on the upper part of the frame 5 and supports the cylinder 12. The cylinder 12 is a cylindrical structure (cylinder) constituted by a cylinder liner 13 and a cylinder cover 14 and has a combustion chamber 17 for burning fuel. The cylinder liner 13 is, for example, a cylindrical structure and is disposed in the cylinder jacket 11. A cylinder cover 14 is fixed to an upper portion of the cylinder liner 13, and thereby a space portion (combustion chamber 17 and the like) in the cylinder liner 13 is partitioned. A piston 15 is provided in the space of the cylinder liner 13 so as to freely reciprocate in the piston axial direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1).

また、図1に示すように、舶用ディーゼルエンジン10は、燃料噴射弁30と、燃料噴射ポンプ41と、第1注水ポンプ51と、第2注水ポンプ61とを備える。燃料噴射弁30は、燃焼室17内に噴射口を向ける態様でシリンダ12(例えばシリンダカバー14)に設けられる。燃料噴射ポンプ41、第1注水ポンプ51および第2注水ポンプ61は、図1に示すように、シリンダ12の近傍に設けられる。図1には図示しないが、燃料噴射ポンプ41、第1注水ポンプ51および第2注水ポンプ61は、各々、配管等を介して燃料噴射弁30と連通可能に接続されている。燃料噴射ポンプ41は、配管等による流通経路を通じて燃料噴射弁30に燃料を適宜圧送する。第1注水ポンプ51および第2注水ポンプ61は、各々、燃料噴射ポンプ41によって圧送される燃料の流通経路内に蒸留水等の水を適宜注入する。例えば、第1注水ポンプ51による注水位置は、第2注水ポンプ61による注水位置よりも燃料の流通経路の下流側である。燃料噴射弁30は、燃料噴射ポンプ41によって圧送された燃料と、第1注水ポンプ51によって注入された水と、第2注水ポンプ61によって注入された水とを、燃料噴射ポンプ41の圧送作用により、燃焼室17へ交互に噴射(すなわち層状に噴射)する。
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the marine diesel engine 10 includes a fuel injection valve 30, a fuel injection pump 41, a first water injection pump 51, and a second water injection pump 61. The fuel injection valve 30 is provided in the cylinder 12 (for example, the cylinder cover 14) in such a manner that the injection port faces the combustion chamber 17. The fuel injection pump 41, the first water injection pump 51, and the second water injection pump 61 are provided in the vicinity of the cylinder 12 as shown in FIG. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the fuel injection pump 41, the first water injection pump 51, and the second water injection pump 61 are each connected to the fuel injection valve 30 through a pipe or the like. The fuel injection pump 41 appropriately pumps fuel to the fuel injection valve 30 through a distribution path such as piping. Each of the first water injection pump 51 and the second water injection pump 61 appropriately injects water such as distilled water into the fuel flow path pumped by the fuel injection pump 41. For example, the water injection position by the first water injection pump 51 is downstream of the fuel injection path from the water injection position by the second water injection pump 61. The fuel injection valve 30 is configured to pump the fuel pumped by the fuel injection pump 41, the water injected by the first water injection pump 51, and the water injected by the second water injection pump 61 by the pumping action of the fuel injection pump 41. The fuel is alternately injected into the combustion chamber 17 (that is, injected in layers).
上述したような構成を有する舶用ディーゼルエンジン10において、シリンダ12内の燃焼室17には、燃料噴射弁30から燃料および水が供給され、且つ、圧縮空気等の燃焼用ガスが掃気ポート等(図示せず)を通じて供給される。燃焼室17内においては、供給された燃料が燃焼用ガスによって燃焼するとともに、供給された水によって燃料の燃焼温度が低下してNOxの排出量が低減される。そして、燃焼室17での燃料の燃焼によって発生したエネルギーにより、ピストン15は、シリンダ12内をピストン軸方向に往復運動する。このとき、動弁装置19によって排気弁18が作動してシリンダ12が開放されると、燃料の燃焼によって生じた排ガスが排気管20に押し出される。一方、シリンダ12には、掃気ポートから新たに燃焼用ガスが導入される。
In the marine diesel engine 10 having the above-described configuration, fuel and water are supplied from the fuel injection valve 30 to the combustion chamber 17 in the cylinder 12, and combustion gas such as compressed air is supplied to the scavenging port or the like (see FIG. (Not shown). In the combustion chamber 17, the supplied fuel is combusted by the combustion gas, and the supplied water lowers the combustion temperature of the fuel to reduce the NOx emission amount. The piston 15 reciprocates in the direction of the piston axis in the cylinder 12 by the energy generated by the combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber 17. At this time, when the exhaust valve 18 is operated by the valve gear 19 and the cylinder 12 is opened, the exhaust gas generated by the combustion of the fuel is pushed out to the exhaust pipe 20. On the other hand, combustion gas is newly introduced into the cylinder 12 from the scavenging port.
また、ピストン15が上述したようにピストン軸方向に往復運動すると、ピストン15とともにピストン棒16がピストン軸方向に往復運動する。これに伴い、クロスヘッド8は、ガイド板7に沿ってピストン軸方向に往復運動する。これにより、クロスヘッド8のクロスヘッドピン9は、クロスヘッド軸受を介して連接棒6に回転駆動力を加える。この回転駆動力により、連接棒6の下端部に接続されるクランク4がクランク運動(回転運動)し、この結果、クランクシャフト2が回転する。クランクシャフト2は、このようにピストン15の往復運動を回転運動に変換してプロペラ軸とともに船舶の推進用プロペラを回転させ、これにより、船舶の推進力を出力する。
When the piston 15 reciprocates in the piston axial direction as described above, the piston rod 16 reciprocates in the piston axial direction together with the piston 15. Accordingly, the crosshead 8 reciprocates in the piston axial direction along the guide plate 7. Thereby, the cross head pin 9 of the cross head 8 applies a rotational driving force to the connecting rod 6 via the cross head bearing. By this rotational driving force, the crank 4 connected to the lower end portion of the connecting rod 6 performs a crank motion (rotational motion), and as a result, the crankshaft 2 rotates. The crankshaft 2 thus converts the reciprocating motion of the piston 15 into a rotational motion and rotates the propeller for the ship along with the propeller shaft, thereby outputting the propulsive force of the ship.

It is represented by the sum (= Qf1 + Qf2 + Qf3) with the fuel amount Qf3 of the fuel layer F3. The fuel injection amount Qfa of the layered liquid 200 increases as the engine load increases, and decreases as the engine load decreases.
また、層状液体200における注水層間の燃料量(本実施形態1では第1注水層W1と第2注水層W2との間に挟まれた第2燃料層F2の燃料量Qf2)は、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングの制御によって調整される。この際、注水層間の燃料量(=Qf2)は、エンジン負荷に応じた燃料噴射量Qfaに対して一定の割合となるように調整されることが好ましい。
The fuel amount between the water injection layers in the layered liquid 200 (the fuel amount Qf2 of the second fuel layer F2 sandwiched between the first water injection layer W1 and the second water injection layer W2 in the first embodiment) is the downstream water injection. It adjusts by control of each water injection start timing of the system 50 and the upstream side water injection system 60. At this time, it is preferable that the fuel amount (= Qf2) between the water injection layers is adjusted to be a constant ratio with respect to the fuel injection amount Qfa corresponding to the engine load.
一方、燃焼室17に対する1回の燃料噴射における水噴射量、すなわち、層状液体200の水噴射量Qwaは、第1注水層W1の注水量Qw1と第2注水層W2の注水量Qw2との和(=Qw1+Qw2)によって表される。この層状液体200の水噴射量Qwaは、NOxの低減および燃費の向上を達成するように、エンジン負荷に応じて必要量に調整される。このとき、第1注水層W1の注水量Qw1と第2注水層W2の注水量Qw2との比、すなわち、下流側注水系統50による注水量と上流側注水系統60による注水量との比は、一定であることが好ましい。
On the other hand, the water injection amount in one fuel injection to the combustion chamber 17, that is, the water injection amount Qwa of the stratified liquid 200 is the sum of the water injection amount Qw1 of the first water injection layer W1 and the water injection amount Qw2 of the second water injection layer W2. (= Qw1 + Qw2). The water injection amount Qwa of the layered liquid 200 is adjusted to a required amount according to the engine load so as to achieve a reduction in NOx and an improvement in fuel consumption. At this time, the ratio of the water injection amount Qw1 of the first water injection layer W1 and the water injection amount Qw2 of the second water injection layer W2, that is, the ratio of the water injection amount by the downstream side water injection system 50 and the water injection amount by the upstream side water injection system 60 is Preferably it is constant.

Next, control of water injection timing for adjusting the fuel amount between water injection layers in Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining control of water injection timing in the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 4, the valve control signal S1 is a control signal for instructing the control valve 55 of the first water injection pump 51 that injects water into the first water injection position P1 (see FIG. 2) of the fuel flow path to open and close. It is. The valve control signal S2 is a control signal for instructing the control valve 65 of the second water injection pump 61 that injects water into the second water injection position P2 (see FIG. 2) of the fuel flow path to open and close. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the adjustment of the fuel amount between the water injection layers in the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, a fuel column 201 is a columnar fuel remaining in the fuel flow path in the first embodiment.
本実施形態1において、制御部92は、例えば図4に示す弁制御信号S1、S2を制御弁55、65に各々送信して、制御弁55、65の各開閉駆動のタイミングを制御する。これにより、制御部92は、下流側注水系統50の注水期間と上流側注水系統60の注水期間との少なくとも一部が重なるように、下流側注水系統50の注水タイミング(1層目注水タイミング)と上流側注水系統60の注水タイミング(2層目注水タイミング)とをエンジン負荷に応じて制御する。この際、制御部92は、好ましい例として、下流側注水系統50によって注入された水の層と上流側注水系統60によって注入された水の層との間の燃料量がエンジン負荷に応じた燃料噴射量Qfaに対して一定の割合となるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御する。
In the first embodiment, the control unit 92 transmits, for example, valve control signals S1 and S2 shown in FIG. 4 to the control valves 55 and 65, respectively, to control the timing of opening and closing of the control valves 55 and 65. Thereby, the control part 92 water injection timing (1st layer water injection timing) of the downstream water injection system 50 so that at least one part of the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 and the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 may overlap. And the water injection timing (second layer water injection timing) of the upstream water injection system 60 are controlled according to the engine load. At this time, as a preferable example, the control unit 92 determines that the amount of fuel between the layer of water injected by the downstream side water injection system 50 and the layer of water injected by the upstream side water injection system 60 corresponds to the engine load. Each water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 and the upstream side water injection system 60 is controlled so as to be a constant ratio with respect to the injection amount Qfa.
詳細には、制御部92は、エンジン負荷に応じて、注水の待機時間ΔTを算出する。待機時間ΔTは、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60のうち、先に注水を開始した注水系統の注水ピストンの作動開始時からその後に注水を開始する注水系統の注水ピストンの作動開始時までの時間である。この待機時間ΔTは、例えば、船舶の航行状況に応じて舶用ディーゼルエンジン10に要求されるエンジン負荷時のエンジン回転数(単位時間当りのエンジン回転数)と燃料噴射量(燃料の1回当りの噴射量)と注水量(噴射1回分の燃料中に注入する水量)とを各々独立変数x、y、zとして含む関数f(x,y,z)によって次式(1)のように表される。例えば、制御部92は、エンジン負荷の増加に伴い待機時間ΔTが増加し、エンジン負荷の減少に伴い待機時間ΔTが減少するように、待機時間ΔTを算出する。
待機時間ΔT=f(x,y,z) ・・・(1)
なお、これらのエンジン回転数、燃料噴射量および注水量は、舶用ディーゼルエンジン10のシミュレーションや実験等の結果に基づいて導出することができる。制御部92には、この式(1)が予め設定されている。 Specifically, the control unit 92 calculates the water injection standby time ΔT according to the engine load. The waiting time ΔT is the time when the operation of the water injection piston of the water injection system that starts water injection from the time of starting the operation of the water injection piston of the water injection system of the downstream sidewater injection system 50 and the upstream side water injection system 60 that started water injection first. It is time until. The waiting time ΔT is, for example, the engine speed at the time of engine load (engine speed per unit time) required for the marine diesel engine 10 according to the navigation status of the ship and the fuel injection amount (per fuel time). The following equation (1) is expressed by a function f (x, y, z) including the injection amount) and the water injection amount (the amount of water injected into the fuel for one injection) as independent variables x, y, z. The For example, the control unit 92 calculates the standby time ΔT so that the standby time ΔT increases as the engine load increases and the standby time ΔT decreases as the engine load decreases.
Standby time ΔT = f (x, y, z) (1)
The engine speed, the fuel injection amount, and the water injection amount can be derived based on the results of simulation, experiment, etc. of themarine diesel engine 10. This equation (1) is preset in the control unit 92.
待機時間ΔT=f(x,y,z) ・・・(1)
なお、これらのエンジン回転数、燃料噴射量および注水量は、舶用ディーゼルエンジン10のシミュレーションや実験等の結果に基づいて導出することができる。制御部92には、この式(1)が予め設定されている。 Specifically, the control unit 92 calculates the water injection standby time ΔT according to the engine load. The waiting time ΔT is the time when the operation of the water injection piston of the water injection system that starts water injection from the time of starting the operation of the water injection piston of the water injection system of the downstream side
Standby time ΔT = f (x, y, z) (1)
The engine speed, the fuel injection amount, and the water injection amount can be derived based on the results of simulation, experiment, etc. of the
制御部92は、上記の待機時間ΔTとして、例えば、下流側注水系統50の待機時間ΔT1を算出する。下流側注水系統50の待機時間ΔT1は、上流側注水系統60が注水を開始してから下流側注水系統50が注水を開始するまでの時間、すなわち、第2注水ポンプ61が作動を開始してから第1注水ポンプ51が作動を開始するまでの時間である。制御部92は、この算出した待機時間ΔT1分、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングを上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせる。
The control unit 92 calculates, for example, the standby time ΔT1 of the downstream water injection system 50 as the standby time ΔT. The waiting time ΔT1 of the downstream side water injection system 50 is a time from when the upstream side water injection system 60 starts water injection to when the downstream side water injection system 50 starts water injection, that is, when the second water injection pump 61 starts operating. Until the first water injection pump 51 starts operating. The control unit 92 delays the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 from the water injection start timing of the upstream side water injection system 60 by the calculated waiting time ΔT1.
具体的には、制御部92は、検出部91から受信した電気信号に示されるクランク角度を、検出部91によって検出されたクランク角度(以下、クランク角度検出値と適宜いう)として取得する。制御部92は、図4に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R1となったタイミングT1に上流側注水系統60の制御弁65に対して開駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部92は、上流側注水系統60の第2注水ポンプ61を作動開始させる。この制御に基づいて、第2注水ポンプ61は、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を開始する。すなわち、クランク角度R1のタイミングT1は、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングである。このタイミングT1では、図5に示すように、燃料流通経路内の燃料柱201のうち第2注水位置P2への水202の注入が開始されている。
Specifically, the control unit 92 acquires the crank angle indicated by the electrical signal received from the detection unit 91 as the crank angle detected by the detection unit 91 (hereinafter referred to as a crank angle detection value as appropriate). As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 92 instructs the control valve 65 of the upstream water injection system 60 to open at timing T1 when the detected crank angle value becomes the crank angle R1. Thereby, the control part 92 starts the operation | movement of the 2nd water injection pump 61 of the upstream water injection system 60. FIG. Based on this control, the second water injection pump 61 starts water injection to the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T1 of the crank angle R1 is the water injection start timing of the upstream water injection system 60. At this timing T1, as shown in FIG. 5, the injection of water 202 into the second water injection position P2 in the fuel column 201 in the fuel flow path is started.
なお、前回の燃料噴射完了後から上記注水開始タイミング(タイミングT1)までの期間内のタイミングT0では、図5に示すように、燃料柱201に対する注水は開始されていない。このときの燃料柱201の燃料量は、上述した燃料噴射量Qfaに相当する。
Note that, as shown in FIG. 5, water injection to the fuel column 201 is not started at the timing T0 within the period from the completion of the previous fuel injection to the water injection start timing (timing T1). The fuel amount of the fuel column 201 at this time corresponds to the fuel injection amount Qfa described above.
ついで、制御部92は、上述したように算出した待機時間ΔT1分、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングから遅らせたタイミングに、下流側注水系統50による注水を開始させる。具体的には、制御部92は、下流側注水系統50の待機時間ΔT1を、エンジン負荷に応じたエンジン回転数とエンジン回転の経過時間とをもとにクランク角度の変化量ΔRに変換する。制御部92は、得られたクランク角度の変化量ΔRと、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミング(タイミングT1)時のクランク角度R1とを加算して、クランク角度R2を算出する。制御部92は、図4に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R2となったタイミングT2に下流側注水系統50の制御弁55に対して開駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部92は、上流側注水系統60の第2注水ポンプ61の作動を継続させながら、下流側注水系統50の第1注水ポンプ51を作動開始させる。この制御に基づいて、第1注水ポンプ51は、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を開始する。すなわち、クランク角度R2のタイミングT2は、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングである。一方、第2注水ポンプ61は、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を継続して行っている。このタイミングT2では、図5に示すように、燃料流通経路内の燃料柱201のうち、第2注水位置P2への水202の注入が継続して行われながら、第1注水位置P1への水203の注入が開始されている。
Next, the control unit 92 starts the water injection by the downstream side water injection system 50 at a timing delayed from the water injection start timing of the upstream side water injection system 60 by the waiting time ΔT1 calculated as described above. Specifically, the control unit 92 converts the waiting time ΔT1 of the downstream water injection system 50 into a crank angle change amount ΔR based on the engine speed corresponding to the engine load and the elapsed time of the engine rotation. The controller 92 calculates the crank angle R2 by adding the obtained change amount ΔR of the crank angle and the crank angle R1 at the water injection start timing (timing T1) of the upstream water injection system 60. As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 92 instructs the control valve 55 of the downstream water injection system 50 to open at timing T <b> 2 when the detected crank angle value becomes the crank angle R <b> 2. Thereby, the control part 92 starts operation | movement of the 1st water injection pump 51 of the downstream water injection system 50, continuing operation | movement of the 2nd water injection pump 61 of the upstream water injection system 60. FIG. Based on this control, the first water injection pump 51 starts water injection to the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T2 of the crank angle R2 is the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50. On the other hand, the second water injection pump 61 continuously performs water injection to the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path. At this timing T2, as shown in FIG. 5, water 202 is continuously injected into the second water injection position P2 in the fuel column 201 in the fuel flow path, and the water is supplied to the first water injection position P1. 203 injection has started.
その後、第2注水ポンプ61は、制御弁65が閉駆動するまでの期間、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を継続して行う。これに並行して、第1注水ポンプ51は、制御弁55が閉駆動するまでの期間、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を継続して行う。
Thereafter, the second water injection pump 61 continues to inject water into the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path until the control valve 65 is driven to close. In parallel with this, the first water injection pump 51 continuously performs water injection to the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path until the control valve 55 is driven to close.
例えば、図4、5に示すように、クランク角度R2からクランク角度R3(>R2)までの時間ΔT2の期間では、第2注水位置P2の水202の注入が進むとともに、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入が進む。この第1注水位置P1の水203の注入に伴い、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料は、第2注水位置P2の水202を越えて流通方向上流側に押し戻される。これにより、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料量は、減少するように調整される。
For example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the period of time ΔT2 from the crank angle R2 to the crank angle R3 (> R2), the injection of the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 proceeds, and at the first water injection position P1. Injection of water 203 proceeds. With the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1, the fuel between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 is pushed back upstream of the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 in the flow direction. . Thereby, the fuel amount between the 1st water injection position P1 and the 2nd water injection position P2 is adjusted so that it may reduce.
続いて、クランク角度R3のタイミングT3では、第2注水位置P2の水202が、燃料柱201の幅方向(燃料流通経路の幅方向)全域に広がるまで注入されている。この際、第2注水位置P2の水202は、図5に示すように、燃料柱201を、第2注水位置P2よりも下流側に位置する下流側燃料201aと、第2注水位置P2よりも上流側に位置する最上流燃料201bとに分ける。この段階において、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料は、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入が進行しても、第2注水位置P2の水202を越えて流通方向上流側に押し戻されることが無くなる。これにより、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料量の調整が終了し、下流側燃料201aの燃料量が決まる。
Subsequently, at the timing T3 of the crank angle R3, the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 is injected until it spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201 (width direction of the fuel flow path). At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 moves the fuel column 201 downstream of the second water injection position P2 and the downstream fuel 201a and the second water injection position P2. It is divided into the most upstream fuel 201b located on the upstream side. At this stage, the fuel between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 circulates over the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 even if the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 proceeds. No longer being pushed back in the direction upstream. Thereby, the adjustment of the fuel amount between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 is completed, and the fuel amount of the downstream fuel 201a is determined.
その後、制御部92は、図4に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R4となったタイミングT4に上流側注水系統60の制御弁65に対して閉駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部92は、下流側注水系統50の第1注水ポンプ51の作動を継続させながら、上流側注水系統60の第2注水ポンプ61を作動停止させる。この制御に基づいて、第2注水ポンプ61は、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を終了する。すなわち、クランク角度R4のタイミングT4は、上流側注水系統60の注水終了タイミングである。一方、第1注水ポンプ51は、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を継続して行っている。
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 92 instructs the control valve 65 of the upstream water injection system 60 to be closed at a timing T4 when the crank angle detection value becomes the crank angle R4. Accordingly, the control unit 92 stops the operation of the second water injection pump 61 of the upstream side water injection system 60 while continuing the operation of the first water injection pump 51 of the downstream side water injection system 50. Based on this control, the second water injection pump 61 ends water injection to the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T4 of the crank angle R4 is the water injection end timing of the upstream water injection system 60. On the other hand, the first water injection pump 51 continuously performs water injection to the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path.
例えば、図4、5に示すように、クランク角度R3からクランク角度R4(>R3)までの時間ΔT3の期間では、第2注水位置P2の水202が燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がった状態から更に注入されるとともに、第1注水位置P1の水203が継続して注入されている。この段階において、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入は、下流側燃料201aとともに第2注水位置P2の水202を流通方向上流側へ押しながら行われる。
For example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the period of time ΔT3 from the crank angle R3 to the crank angle R4 (> R3), the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201. The water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is continuously injected. In this stage, the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is performed while pushing the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 together with the downstream fuel 201a to the upstream side in the flow direction.
また、図5に示すように、クランク角度R4のタイミングT4では、第2注水位置P2の水202が必要量注入された状態となっている。一方、第1注水位置P1の水203は、燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がるまで注入された状態となっている。この状態の水203は、燃料柱201の下流側燃料201aを、第1注水位置P1よりも下流側に位置する最下流燃料201cと、第2注水位置P2の水202と第1注水位置P1の水203とに挟まれる注水層間燃料201dとに分ける。これにより、注水層間燃料201dの燃料量、すなわち注水層間の燃料量(=Qf2)と、最下流燃料201cの燃料量とが決まる。なお、第1注水位置P1の水203が燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がるまで注入されるタイミングは、第2注水位置P2の水202が必要量注入されたタイミングT4と同じであってもよいし、前のタイミングであってもよいし、後のタイミングであってもよい。
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, at the timing T4 of the crank angle R4, a necessary amount of water 202 at the second water injection position P2 is injected. On the other hand, the water 203 at the first water injection position P <b> 1 is in a state of being injected until it spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201. In this state, the water 203 is obtained by changing the downstream fuel 201a of the fuel column 201 between the most downstream fuel 201c located downstream of the first water injection position P1, the water 202 at the second water injection position P2, and the first water injection position P1. It is divided into a water injection interlayer fuel 201 d sandwiched between water 203. Thereby, the fuel amount of the water injection layer fuel 201d, that is, the fuel amount (= Qf2) between the water injection layers and the fuel amount of the most downstream fuel 201c are determined. Note that the timing at which the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is injected until it spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201 may be the same as the timing T4 at which the required amount of water 202 at the second water injection position P2 is injected. It may be the previous timing or the later timing.
その後、制御部92は、図4に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R5となったタイミングT5に下流側注水系統50の制御弁55に対して閉駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部92は、下流側注水系統50の第1注水ポンプ51を作動停止させる。この制御に基づいて、第1注水ポンプ51は、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を終了する。すなわち、クランク角度R5のタイミングT5は、下流側注水系統50の注水終了タイミングである。
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 92 instructs the control valve 55 of the downstream water injection system 50 to be closed at timing T5 when the crank angle detection value becomes the crank angle R5. Thereby, the control part 92 stops operation | movement of the 1st water injection pump 51 of the downstream water injection system 50. FIG. Based on this control, the first water injection pump 51 ends water injection to the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T5 of the crank angle R5 is the water injection end timing of the downstream water injection system 50.
例えば、図5に示すように、クランク角度R4のタイミングT4からクランク角度R5(>R4)のタイミングT5までの期間では、第1注水位置P1の水203が、燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がった状態から更に注入されている。一方、第2注水位置P2の水202の注入は、上述したタイミングT4で既に終了している。この段階において、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入は、上述したタイミングT3からタイミングT4までの期間と同様に行われ、水203の注入量が必要量になるまで継続される。そして、クランク角度R5のタイミングT5では、第1注水位置P1および第2注水位置P2の各注水が終了する。この結果、第1燃料層F1と第1注水層W1と第2燃料層F2と第2注水層W2と第3燃料層F3とからなる層状液体200が、燃料流通経路内に形成される。
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, during the period from the timing T4 of the crank angle R4 to the timing T5 of the crank angle R5 (> R4), the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201. It is further injected from the state. On the other hand, the injection of the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 has already ended at the timing T4 described above. In this stage, the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is performed in the same manner as the period from the timing T3 to the timing T4 described above, and is continued until the injection amount of the water 203 becomes a necessary amount. And in timing T5 of crank angle R5, each water injection of the 1st water injection position P1 and the 2nd water injection position P2 is completed. As a result, a stratified liquid 200 composed of the first fuel layer F1, the first water injection layer W1, the second fuel layer F2, the second water injection layer W2, and the third fuel layer F3 is formed in the fuel flow path.
ここで、本実施形態1において、上流側注水系統60の注水期間は、クランク角度R1のタイミングT1からクランク角度R4のタイミングT4までの期間である。すなわち、上流側注水系統60の注水期間は、図4に示す待機時間ΔT1と時間ΔT2と時間ΔT3とを加算した時間分の期間である。この注水期間は、図5に示す第2注水位置P2に必要量の水202を注入する際に掛かる時間によって決まる。すなわち、上流側注水系統60の注水終了タイミング(タイミングT4)に対応するクランク角度R4は、注水開始タイミングに対応するクランク角度R1と、上記必要量の水202の注入に要する時間とをもとに導出される。
Here, in the first embodiment, the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 is a period from the timing T1 of the crank angle R1 to the timing T4 of the crank angle R4. That is, the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 is a period corresponding to the time obtained by adding the waiting time ΔT1, the time ΔT2, and the time ΔT3 shown in FIG. This water injection period is determined by the time it takes to inject the required amount of water 202 into the second water injection position P2 shown in FIG. That is, the crank angle R4 corresponding to the water injection end timing (timing T4) of the upstream water injection system 60 is based on the crank angle R1 corresponding to the water injection start timing and the time required for injecting the required amount of water 202. Derived.
また、下流側注水系統50の注水期間は、クランク角度R2のタイミングT2からクランク角度R5のタイミングT5までの期間である。この注水期間は、図5に示す第1注水位置P1に必要量の水203を注入する際に掛かる時間によって決まる。すなわち、下流側注水系統50の注水終了タイミング(タイミングT5)に対応するクランク角度R5は、注水開始タイミングに対応するクランク角度R2と、上記必要量の水203の注入に要する時間とをもとに導出される。
Further, the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 is a period from the timing T2 of the crank angle R2 to the timing T5 of the crank angle R5. This water injection period is determined by the time taken to inject a required amount of water 203 into the first water injection position P1 shown in FIG. That is, the crank angle R5 corresponding to the water injection end timing (timing T5) of the downstream side water injection system 50 is based on the crank angle R2 corresponding to the water injection start timing and the time required to inject the required amount of water 203. Derived.
本実施形態1において、上流側注水系統60の注水期間と下流側注水系統50の注水期間との重なる期間は、図4に示すように、クランク角度R2からクランク角度R4までの時間ΔT4に相当する。この時間ΔT4は、下流側注水系統50の注水によって注水層間の燃料量が減少するよう調整(減量調整)される時間ΔT2と、注水層間の燃料量の調整が終了してから上流側注水系統60の注水が終了するまでの時間ΔT3とを加算した時間である。下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングは、エンジン負荷の増加に伴って時間ΔT2が減少し、エンジン負荷の減少に伴って時間ΔT2が増加するように、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングから待機時間ΔT1だけ遅れるタイミングに制御される。すなわち、この待機時間ΔT1は、エンジン負荷の増加に伴って増加し、エンジン負荷の減少に伴って減少する。なお、この待機時間ΔT1が零値(ΔT1=0)である場合、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングは、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングと同時のタイミングに制御される。
In the first embodiment, the overlapping period of the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 and the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 corresponds to the time ΔT4 from the crank angle R2 to the crank angle R4 as shown in FIG. . This time ΔT4 is adjusted (decrease adjustment) so that the amount of fuel between the water injection layers is reduced by the water injection of the downstream water injection system 50, and after the adjustment of the fuel amount between the water injection layers is completed, the upstream water injection system 60 This is a time obtained by adding the time ΔT3 until the water injection is completed. The water injection start timing of the downstream water injection system 50 is on standby from the water injection start timing of the upstream water injection system 60 so that the time ΔT2 decreases as the engine load increases and the time ΔT2 increases as the engine load decreases. The timing is controlled to be delayed by time ΔT1. That is, the waiting time ΔT1 increases with an increase in engine load, and decreases with a decrease in engine load. When the waiting time ΔT1 is a zero value (ΔT1 = 0), the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 is controlled to the same timing as the water injection start timing of the upstream side water injection system 60.
図6は、本発明の実施形態1における層状液体のエンジン負荷に応じた噴射量の一例を示す図である。図6に示す噴射量は、1つの燃料噴射弁30からシリンダ12内の燃焼室17に噴射される層状液体200(図3参照)の1回当りの噴射量である。この層状液体200の噴射量は、エンジン負荷に応じた燃料噴射量Qfaと第1注水層W1および第2注水層W2の各注水量Qw1、Qw2との和(=Qfa+Qw1+Qw2)によって表される。
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an injection amount corresponding to the engine load of the stratified liquid according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The injection amount shown in FIG. 6 is an injection amount per time of the stratified liquid 200 (see FIG. 3) injected from one fuel injection valve 30 into the combustion chamber 17 in the cylinder 12. The injection amount of the layered liquid 200 is represented by the sum (= Qfa + Qw1 + Qw2) of the fuel injection amount Qfa corresponding to the engine load and the water injection amounts Qw1, Qw2 of the first water injection layer W1 and the second water injection layer W2.
本実施形態1において、層状液体200の噴射量は、上述した下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングの制御によって設定される。例えば、図6に示すように、層状液体200の噴射量は、エンジン負荷の増加に伴って増加し、エンジン負荷の減少に伴って減少する。このような層状液体200のうち、第1注水層W1と第2注水層W2との間に挟まれた第2燃料層F2の燃料量(すなわち注水層間の燃料量)は、エンジン負荷に応じて適切な量に調整される。好ましくは、注水層間に燃料層を有する層状液体200が燃料流通経路内に形成されるエンジン負荷の範囲(図6では55%以上100%以下)において、この注水層間の燃料量は、エンジン負荷に応じて増減する燃料噴射量Qfaに対して一定の割合となるように調整(最適化)される。さらには、層状液体200において、第1注水層W1の注水量Qw1と第2注水層W2との注水量Qw2との比は一定である。
In the first embodiment, the injection amount of the layered liquid 200 is set by controlling the water injection start timings of the downstream water injection system 50 and the upstream water injection system 60 described above. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the injection amount of the layered liquid 200 increases as the engine load increases, and decreases as the engine load decreases. In such a layered liquid 200, the fuel amount of the second fuel layer F2 sandwiched between the first water injection layer W1 and the second water injection layer W2 (that is, the fuel amount between the water injection layers) depends on the engine load. Adjust to the appropriate amount. Preferably, in the engine load range (55% or more and 100% or less in FIG. 6) in which the layered liquid 200 having the fuel layer between the water injection layers is formed in the fuel flow path, the amount of fuel between the water injection layers is equal to the engine load. The fuel injection amount Qfa that increases or decreases accordingly is adjusted (optimized) to be a constant ratio. Furthermore, in the layered liquid 200, the ratio of the water injection amount Qw1 of the first water injection layer W1 and the water injection amount Qw2 of the second water injection layer W2 is constant.
以上、説明したように、本発明の実施形態1に係る燃料噴射装置100では、舶用ディーゼルエンジン10のシリンダ12内の燃焼室17に燃料および水を層状に噴射する燃料噴射弁30と、配管を通じて燃料噴射弁30に燃料を圧送する燃料噴射ポンプ41と、燃料噴射ポンプ41から燃料噴射弁30の噴射口31に至る燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1に水を注入する下流側注水系統50と、この燃料流通経路のうち下流側注水系統50よりも燃料の流通方向上流側の第2注水位置P2に水を注入する上流側注水系統60とを設け、下流側注水系統50の注水期間と上流側注水系統60の注水期間との少なくとも一部が重なるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングをエンジン負荷に応じて制御している。この際、上流側注水系統60が注水を開始してから下流側注水系統50が注水を開始するまでの下流側注水系統50の待機時間ΔT1をエンジン負荷に応じて算出し、算出した待機時間ΔT1分、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングを上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせている。
As described above, in the fuel injection device 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the fuel injection valve 30 that injects fuel and water into the combustion chamber 17 in the cylinder 12 of the marine diesel engine 10 in a layered manner, and through the piping. A fuel injection pump 41 that pumps fuel to the fuel injection valve 30; a downstream water injection system 50 that injects water into the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path from the fuel injection pump 41 to the injection port 31 of the fuel injection valve 30; An upstream water injection system 60 for injecting water into the second water injection position P2 upstream of the downstream water injection system 50 in the fuel distribution direction in the fuel distribution path is provided, and the water injection period and upstream of the downstream water injection system 50 are provided. Control of the water injection start timings of the downstream water injection system 50 and the upstream water injection system 60 according to the engine load so that at least a part of the water injection period of the side water injection system 60 overlaps. To have. At this time, the standby time ΔT1 of the downstream water injection system 50 from when the upstream water injection system 60 starts water injection to when the downstream water injection system 50 starts water injection is calculated according to the engine load, and the calculated standby time ΔT1 Minutes, the water injection start timing of the downstream water injection system 50 is delayed from the water injection start timing of the upstream water injection system 60.
上記の構成により、下流側注水系統50の注水期間と上流側注水系統60の注水期間との重なる期間内に、下流側注水系統50による注水層と上流側注水系統60による注水層との間の燃料量(注水層間の燃料量)を、エンジン負荷に応じた燃料噴射量Qfaに対する当該注水層間の燃料量の割合が過大または過小とならないように調整することができる。このため、燃料噴射弁30から燃料および水を層状に噴射する際、エンジン負荷に応じて注水層間の燃料量を適切に調整することができる。この結果、排ガス中のNOxを低減させるべく燃料および水を層状に噴射する際に起こり得る舶用ディーゼルエンジン10の燃焼不良等の望ましくない燃焼状態の発生を抑制することができる。
With the above configuration, the water injection layer formed by the downstream side water injection system 50 and the water injection layer formed by the upstream side water injection system 60 are overlapped with each other within the overlapping period of the water injection period of the downstream side water injection system 50 and the water injection period of the upstream side water injection system 60. The amount of fuel (the amount of fuel between the water injection layers) can be adjusted so that the ratio of the amount of fuel between the water injection layers relative to the fuel injection amount Qfa according to the engine load does not become excessive or small. For this reason, when fuel and water are injected in layers from the fuel injection valve 30, the amount of fuel between the water injection layers can be appropriately adjusted according to the engine load. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an undesirable combustion state such as poor combustion of the marine diesel engine 10 that may occur when fuel and water are injected in layers to reduce NOx in the exhaust gas.
また、本発明の実施形態1に係る燃料噴射装置100では、上述した注水層間の燃料量がエンジン負荷に応じた燃料噴射量Qfaに対して一定の割合とすべく、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングをエンジン負荷に応じて制御している。このため、燃料噴射弁30から燃料および水を層状に噴射する際、注水層間の燃料量をエンジン負荷毎の最適な燃料量に調整することができる。この結果、排ガス中のNOxを最も効果的に低減させることができる。
Further, in the fuel injection device 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the downstream water injection system 50 and the upstream are arranged so that the fuel amount between the water injection layers described above is a constant ratio with respect to the fuel injection amount Qfa corresponding to the engine load. Each water injection start timing of the side water injection system 60 is controlled according to the engine load. For this reason, when fuel and water are injected in layers from the fuel injection valve 30, the fuel amount between the water injection layers can be adjusted to the optimum fuel amount for each engine load. As a result, NOx in the exhaust gas can be reduced most effectively.
また、本発明の実施形態1に係る燃料噴射装置100では、下流側注水系統50による注水量Qw1と上流側注水系統60による注水量Qw2との比を一定にしている。このため、燃料噴射弁30から燃料および水を層状に噴射する際、燃料層に後続して噴射される注水層の水量をエンジン負荷毎に最適化することができる。この結果、燃料の燃焼後の水噴射による失火を防止して舶用ディーゼルエンジン10の安定した作動を確保するとともに、排ガス中のNOxを最も効果的に低減させることができる。
Further, in the fuel injection device 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the ratio between the water injection amount Qw1 by the downstream water injection system 50 and the water injection amount Qw2 by the upstream water injection system 60 is made constant. For this reason, when fuel and water are injected in layers from the fuel injection valve 30, the amount of water in the water injection layer injected following the fuel layer can be optimized for each engine load. As a result, misfire caused by water injection after fuel combustion can be prevented to ensure stable operation of the marine diesel engine 10, and NOx in the exhaust gas can be most effectively reduced.

つぎに、本発明の実施形態2について説明する。上述した実施形態1では、エンジン負荷に応じて算出した待機時間分、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングを上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御していたが、本実施形態2では、エンジン負荷に応じて算出した待機時間分、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングを下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御している。 (Embodiment 2)
Next,Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment described above, the downstream side water injection system 50 and the upstream side are set so as to delay the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 from the water injection start timing of the upstream side water injection system 60 by the standby time calculated according to the engine load. Although each water injection start timing of the side water injection system 60 is controlled, in the second embodiment, the water injection start timing of the upstream water injection system 60 is set to the water injection start time of the upstream water injection system 50 for the standby time calculated according to the engine load. Each water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 and the upstream side water injection system 60 is controlled so as to be delayed from the start timing.
つぎに、本発明の実施形態2について説明する。上述した実施形態1では、エンジン負荷に応じて算出した待機時間分、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングを上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御していたが、本実施形態2では、エンジン負荷に応じて算出した待機時間分、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングを下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御している。 (Embodiment 2)
Next,
図7は、本発明の実施形態2に係る燃料噴射装置の一構成例を示す模式図である。図7に示すように、この燃料噴射装置110は、上述した実施形態1に係る燃料噴射装置100の制御部92に代えて制御部112を備える。その他の構成は実施形態1と同じであり、同一構成部分には同一符号を付している。また、特に図示しないが、本実施形態2に係る燃料噴射装置110が適用された舶用ディーゼルエンジンは、上記の制御部112を備える構成以外、上述した実施形態1における舶用ディーゼルエンジン10と同様に構成される。
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of a fuel injection device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the fuel injection device 110 includes a control unit 112 instead of the control unit 92 of the fuel injection device 100 according to Embodiment 1 described above. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Although not particularly illustrated, the marine diesel engine to which the fuel injection device 110 according to the second embodiment is applied has the same configuration as the marine diesel engine 10 in the first embodiment described above, except for the configuration including the control unit 112 described above. Is done.
制御部112は、各種プログラムを実行するためのCPU、メモリおよびシーケンサ等によって構成される。制御部112は、上述した燃料および水の層状噴射タイミング以外の期間において、燃料で満たされた状態にある燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1および第2注水位置P2に水を各々注入するように、下流側注水系統50の注水タイミングおよび上流側注水系統60の注水タイミングをエンジン負荷に応じて制御する。この際、制御部112は、下流側注水系統50の注水期間と上流側注水系統60の注水期間との少なくとも一部が重なるようにすべく、エンジン負荷に応じて算出した待機時間分、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングを下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせるように、下流側注水系統50の第1注水ポンプ51による注水開始タイミングと上流側注水系統60の第2注水ポンプ61による注水開始タイミングと制御する。なお、制御部112は、上述した実施形態1における制御部92と同様に、燃料噴射弁30から燃焼室17への燃料および水の層状噴射タイミングを制御する。
The control unit 112 includes a CPU, a memory, a sequencer, and the like for executing various programs. The control unit 112 injects water into each of the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path in a state other than the above-described fuel and water layered injection timing. The water injection timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 and the water injection timing of the upstream side water injection system 60 are controlled according to the engine load. At this time, the control unit 112 sets the upstream side of the standby time calculated according to the engine load so that at least a part of the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 and the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 overlap each other. The water injection start timing by the first water injection pump 51 of the downstream side water injection system 50 and the second water injection pump 61 of the upstream side water injection system 60 so that the water injection start timing of the water injection system 60 is delayed from the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50. Control with the start timing of water injection. In addition, the control part 112 controls the layered injection timing of the fuel and water from the fuel injection valve 30 to the combustion chamber 17 similarly to the control part 92 in Embodiment 1 mentioned above.
つぎに、本発明の実施形態2における注水層間の燃料量を調整するための注水タイミングの制御について説明する。図8は、本発明の実施形態2における注水タイミングの制御を説明するための図である。図9は、本発明の実施形態2における注水層間の燃料量の調整を説明するための図である。
Next, control of water injection timing for adjusting the amount of fuel between water injection layers in Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining control of water injection timing in the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the adjustment of the fuel amount between the water injection layers in the second embodiment of the present invention.
本実施形態2において、制御部112は、例えば図8に示す弁制御信号S1、S2を制御弁55、65に各々送信して、制御弁55、65の各開閉駆動のタイミングを制御する。これにより、制御部112は、下流側注水系統50の注水期間と上流側注水系統60の注水期間との少なくとも一部が重なるように、下流側注水系統50の注水タイミング(1層目注水タイミング)と上流側注水系統60の注水タイミング(2層目注水タイミング)とをエンジン負荷に応じて制御する。この際、制御部112は、好ましい例として、下流側注水系統50によって注入された水の層と上流側注水系統60によって注入された水の層との間の燃料量がエンジン負荷に応じた燃料噴射量Qfaに対して一定の割合となるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御する。
In the second embodiment, the control unit 112 transmits, for example, valve control signals S1 and S2 shown in FIG. 8 to the control valves 55 and 65, respectively, to control the timing of opening and closing of the control valves 55 and 65. Thereby, the control part 112 water injection timing (1st layer water injection timing) of the downstream water injection system 50 so that at least one part of the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 and the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 may overlap. And the water injection timing (second layer water injection timing) of the upstream water injection system 60 are controlled according to the engine load. At this time, as a preferable example, the control unit 112 determines the amount of fuel between the water layer injected by the downstream water injection system 50 and the water layer injected by the upstream water injection system 60 according to the engine load. Each water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 and the upstream side water injection system 60 is controlled so as to be a constant ratio with respect to the injection amount Qfa.
詳細には、制御部112は、上述した式(1)が予め設定され、式(1)に基づく待機時間ΔTとして、例えば、上流側注水系統60の待機時間ΔT11を算出する。上流側注水系統60の待機時間ΔT11は、下流側注水系統50が注水を開始してから上流側注水系統60が注水を開始するまでの時間、すなわち、第1注水ポンプ51が作動を開始してから第2注水ポンプ61が作動を開始するまでの時間である。制御部112は、この算出した待機時間ΔT11分、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングを下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせる。
In detail, the control unit 112 calculates the standby time ΔT11 of the upstream water injection system 60, for example, as the standby time ΔT based on the formula (1) in which the above-described formula (1) is set in advance. The standby time ΔT11 of the upstream side water injection system 60 is the time from when the downstream side water injection system 50 starts water injection to when the upstream side water injection system 60 starts water injection, that is, when the first water injection pump 51 starts operating. Until the second water injection pump 61 starts operating. The control unit 112 delays the water injection start timing of the upstream water injection system 60 from the water injection start timing of the downstream water injection system 50 by the calculated waiting time ΔT11 minutes.
具体的には、制御部112は、検出部91によるクランク角度検出値を取得し、図8に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R11となったタイミングT11に下流側注水系統50の制御弁55に対して開駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部112は、下流側注水系統50の第1注水ポンプ51を作動開始させる。この制御に基づいて、第1注水ポンプ51は、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を開始する。すなわち、クランク角度R11のタイミングT11は、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングである。このタイミングT11では、図9に示すように、燃料流通経路内の燃料柱201のうち第1注水位置P1への水203の注入が開始されている。この第1注水位置P1への水203の注入開始に伴い、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料は、第2注水位置P2を越えて流通方向上流側に押し戻され始める。これにより、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料量は、減少するように調整され始める。
Specifically, the control unit 112 acquires the crank angle detection value by the detection unit 91, and as shown in FIG. 8, controls the downstream side water injection system 50 at timing T11 when the crank angle detection value becomes the crank angle R11. The valve 55 is instructed to open. Thereby, the control part 112 starts the operation | movement of the 1st water injection pump 51 of the downstream water injection system 50. FIG. Based on this control, the first water injection pump 51 starts water injection to the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T11 of the crank angle R11 is the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50. At this timing T11, as shown in FIG. 9, the injection of water 203 into the first water injection position P1 in the fuel column 201 in the fuel flow path is started. With the start of injection of water 203 into the first water injection position P1, the fuel between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 starts to be pushed back upstream in the flow direction beyond the second water injection position P2. . Accordingly, the fuel amount between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 starts to be adjusted so as to decrease.
なお、前回の燃料噴射完了後から上記注水開始タイミング(タイミングT11)までの期間内のタイミングT0では、図9に示すように、燃料柱201に対する注水は開始されていない。このときの燃料柱201の燃料量は、上述した燃料噴射量Qfaに相当する。
In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the water injection to the fuel column 201 is not started at the timing T0 within the period from the completion of the previous fuel injection to the water injection start timing (timing T11). The fuel amount of the fuel column 201 at this time corresponds to the fuel injection amount Qfa described above.
ついで、制御部112は、上述したように算出した待機時間ΔT11分、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングから遅らせたタイミングに、上流側注水系統60による注水を開始させる。具体的には、制御部112は、上流側注水系統60の待機時間ΔT11を、エンジン負荷に応じたエンジン回転数とエンジン回転の経過時間とをもとにクランク角度の変化量ΔRに変換する。制御部112は、得られたクランク角度の変化量ΔRと、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミング(タイミングT11)時のクランク角度R11とを加算して、クランク角度R12を算出する。制御部112は、図8に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R12となったタイミングT12に上流側注水系統60の制御弁65に対して開駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部112は、下流側注水系統50の第1注水ポンプ51の作動を継続させながら、上流側注水系統60の第2注水ポンプ61を作動開始させる。この制御に基づいて、第2注水ポンプ61は、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を開始する。すなわち、クランク角度R12のタイミングT12は、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングである。一方、第1注水ポンプ51は、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を継続して行っている。このタイミングT12では、図9に示すように、燃料流通経路内の燃料柱201のうち、第1注水位置P1への水203の注入が継続して行われながら、第2注水位置P2への水202の注入が開始されている。
Next, the control unit 112 starts the water injection by the upstream side water injection system 60 at a timing delayed from the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50 for the waiting time ΔT11 minutes calculated as described above. Specifically, the control unit 112 converts the standby time ΔT11 of the upstream water injection system 60 into a crank angle change amount ΔR based on the engine speed corresponding to the engine load and the elapsed time of the engine rotation. The control unit 112 calculates the crank angle R12 by adding the obtained change amount ΔR of the crank angle and the crank angle R11 at the water injection start timing (timing T11) of the downstream water injection system 50. As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 112 instructs the control valve 65 of the upstream water injection system 60 to open at timing T12 when the detected crank angle value becomes the crank angle R12. Thereby, the control unit 112 starts the operation of the second water injection pump 61 of the upstream side water injection system 60 while continuing the operation of the first water injection pump 51 of the downstream side water injection system 50. Based on this control, the second water injection pump 61 starts water injection to the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T12 of the crank angle R12 is the water injection start timing of the upstream water injection system 60. On the other hand, the first water injection pump 51 continuously performs water injection to the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path. At this timing T12, as shown in FIG. 9, the water 203 is continuously injected into the first water injection position P1 in the fuel column 201 in the fuel flow path, and the water is supplied to the second water injection position P2. 202 injection has started.
その後、第1注水ポンプ51は、制御弁55が閉駆動するまでの期間、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を継続して行う。これに並行して、第2注水ポンプ61は、制御弁65が閉駆動するまでの期間、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を継続して行う。
Thereafter, the first water injection pump 51 continues to inject water into the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path until the control valve 55 is driven to close. In parallel with this, the second water injection pump 61 continues water injection to the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path until the control valve 65 is driven to close.
例えば、図8、9に示すように、クランク角度R11からクランク角度Raまでの時間ΔT13の期間では、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入が進む。また、この期間のうち、クランク角度R12からクランク角度Ra(>R12)までの時間ΔTaの期間では、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入が進むとともに、第2注水位置P2の水202の注入が進む。この第1注水位置P1の水203の注入に伴い、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料は、第2注水位置P2または水202を越えて流通方向上流側に押し戻される。これにより、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料量は、時間ΔT13の期間、減少するように調整される。
For example, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the period of time ΔT13 from the crank angle R11 to the crank angle Ra, the injection of water 203 at the first water injection position P1 proceeds. Further, during this period, during the period of time ΔTa from the crank angle R12 to the crank angle Ra (> R12), the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 proceeds and the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 is injected. Advances. With the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1, the fuel between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 is pushed back upstream in the flow direction beyond the second water injection position P2 or the water 202. . Thereby, the fuel amount between the 1st water injection position P1 and the 2nd water injection position P2 is adjusted so that it may reduce during the period of time (DELTA) T13.
また、この時間ΔT13の期間のうち、クランク角度R13のタイミングT13では、第1注水位置P1の水203が、燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がるまで注入されている。この際、第1注水位置P1の水203は、図9に示すように、燃料柱201を、第1注水位置P1よりも下流側に位置する最下流燃料201cと、第1注水位置P1よりも上流側に位置する上流側燃料201eとに分ける。この段階において、最下流燃料201cの燃料量が決まる。また、クランク角度R13からクランク角度R14(>R13)までの期間では、第1注水位置P1の水203が燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がった状態から更に注入されるとともに、第2注水位置P2の水202が継続して注入されている。この段階において、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入は、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料を第2注水位置P2よりも流通方向上流側へ押し戻しながら行われる。
Further, in the period of time ΔT13, at the timing T13 of the crank angle R13, the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is injected until it spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 moves the fuel column 201 from the most downstream fuel 201c located downstream of the first water injection position P1 and from the first water injection position P1. The fuel is divided into the upstream fuel 201e located on the upstream side. At this stage, the fuel amount of the most downstream fuel 201c is determined. Further, in the period from the crank angle R13 to the crank angle R14 (> R13), the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is further injected from the state where it spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201, and at the second water injection position P2. Of water 202 is continuously injected. In this stage, the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is performed while pushing back the fuel between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 to the upstream side in the flow direction from the second water injection position P2.
一方、クランク角度Raのタイミングでは、第2注水位置P2の水202が、燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がるまで注入されている。この際、第2注水位置P2の水202は、燃料柱201のうちの上流側燃料201eを、第2注水位置P2よりも上流側に位置する最上流燃料201bと、第2注水位置P2の水202と第1注水位置P1の水203とに挟まれる注水層間燃料201dとに分ける。この段階において、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料は、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入が進行しても、第2注水位置P2の水202を越えて流通方向上流側に押し戻されることが無くなる。これにより、第1注水位置P1と第2注水位置P2との間の燃料量の調整が終了し、注水層間燃料201dの燃料量、すなわち注水層間の燃料量(=Qf2)が決まる。
On the other hand, at the timing of the crank angle Ra, the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 is injected until it spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201. At this time, the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 includes the upstream fuel 201e of the fuel column 201, the upstream fuel 201b positioned upstream of the second water injection position P2, and the water at the second water injection position P2. 202 and the water injection interlayer fuel 201d sandwiched between the water 203 at the first water injection position P1. At this stage, the fuel between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 circulates over the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 even if the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 proceeds. No longer being pushed back in the direction upstream. Thereby, the adjustment of the fuel amount between the first water injection position P1 and the second water injection position P2 is completed, and the fuel amount of the water injection interlayer fuel 201d, that is, the fuel amount between the water injection layers (= Qf2) is determined.
なお、このクランク角度Raのタイミングは、第2注水位置P2の水202が必要量注入されるタイミングT14と同じであってもよいし、前のタイミングであってもよいし、後のタイミングであってもよい。これらのタイミングのうち何れのタイミングがクランク角度Raのタイミングになるかは、エンジン負荷に応じた待機時間ΔT11によって決まる。図9には、クランク角度Raのタイミングがクランク角度R14のタイミングT14と同じタイミングとなっている場合が図示されている。
The timing of the crank angle Ra may be the same as the timing T14 when the required amount of water 202 at the second water injection position P2 is injected, may be the previous timing, or may be the subsequent timing. May be. Which of these timings corresponds to the crank angle Ra is determined by the waiting time ΔT11 corresponding to the engine load. FIG. 9 illustrates a case where the timing of the crank angle Ra is the same as the timing T14 of the crank angle R14.
また、制御部112は、図8に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R14となったタイミングT14に下流側注水系統50の制御弁55に対して閉駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部112は、上流側注水系統60の第2注水ポンプ61の作動を継続させながら、下流側注水系統50の第1注水ポンプ51を作動停止させる。この制御に基づいて、第1注水ポンプ51は、燃料流通経路の第1注水位置P1への注水を終了する。すなわち、クランク角度R14のタイミングT14は、下流側注水系統50の注水終了タイミングである。一方、第2注水ポンプ61は、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を継続して行っている。図9に示すように、クランク角度R14のタイミングT14では、第1注水位置P1の水203が必要量注入された状態となっている。
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 112 instructs the control valve 55 of the downstream water injection system 50 to be closed at timing T14 when the crank angle detection value becomes the crank angle R14. Thereby, the control unit 112 stops the operation of the first water injection pump 51 of the downstream side water injection system 50 while continuing the operation of the second water injection pump 61 of the upstream side water injection system 60. Based on this control, the first water injection pump 51 ends water injection to the first water injection position P1 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T14 of the crank angle R14 is the water injection end timing of the downstream water injection system 50. On the other hand, the second water injection pump 61 continuously performs water injection to the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path. As shown in FIG. 9, at the timing T14 of the crank angle R14, a necessary amount of water 203 at the first water injection position P1 is injected.
その後、制御部112は、図8に示すように、クランク角度検出値がクランク角度R15となったタイミングT15に上流側注水系統60の制御弁65に対して閉駆動を指示する。これにより、制御部112は、上流側注水系統60の第2注水ポンプ61を作動停止させる。この制御に基づいて、第2注水ポンプ61は、燃料流通経路の第2注水位置P2への注水を終了する。すなわち、クランク角度R15のタイミングT15は、上流側注水系統60の注水終了タイミングである。
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 112 instructs the control valve 65 of the upstream water injection system 60 to be closed at a timing T15 when the crank angle detection value becomes the crank angle R15. Thereby, the control part 112 stops the operation | movement of the 2nd water injection pump 61 of the upstream water injection system 60. FIG. Based on this control, the second water injection pump 61 ends water injection to the second water injection position P2 of the fuel flow path. That is, the timing T15 of the crank angle R15 is the water injection end timing of the upstream water injection system 60.
例えば、図9に示すように、クランク角度R14のタイミングT14からクランク角度R15(>R14)のタイミングT15までの期間では、第2注水位置P2の水202が、燃料柱201の幅方向全域に広がった状態から更に注入されている。一方、第1注水位置P1の水203の注入は、上述したタイミングT14で既に終了している。この段階において、第2注水位置P2の水202の注入は、上述したタイミングT13からタイミングT14までの期間と同様に行われ、水202の注入量が必要量になるまで継続される。そして、クランク角度R15のタイミングT15では、第2注水位置P2および第1注水位置P1の各注水が終了する。この結果、第1燃料層F1と第1注水層W1と第2燃料層F2と第2注水層W2と第3燃料層F3とからなる層状液体200が、燃料流通経路内に形成される。
For example, as shown in FIG. 9, during the period from the timing T14 of the crank angle R14 to the timing T15 of the crank angle R15 (> R14), the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 spreads over the entire width direction of the fuel column 201. It is further injected from the state. On the other hand, the injection of the water 203 at the first water injection position P1 has already ended at the timing T14 described above. In this stage, the injection of the water 202 at the second water injection position P2 is performed in the same manner as the period from the timing T13 to the timing T14 described above, and is continued until the injection amount of the water 202 becomes a necessary amount. And in timing T15 of crank angle R15, each water injection of the 2nd water injection position P2 and the 1st water injection position P1 is completed. As a result, a stratified liquid 200 composed of the first fuel layer F1, the first water injection layer W1, the second fuel layer F2, the second water injection layer W2, and the third fuel layer F3 is formed in the fuel flow path.
ここで、本実施形態2において、下流側注水系統50の注水期間は、クランク角度R11のタイミングT11からクランク角度R14のタイミングT14までの期間である。すなわち、下流側注水系統50の注水期間は、図8に示す待機時間ΔT11と時間ΔT12とを加算した時間分の期間である。この注水期間は、図9に示す第1注水位置P1に必要量の水203を注入する際に掛かる時間によって決まる。すなわち、下流側注水系統50の注水終了タイミング(タイミングT14)に対応するクランク角度R14は、注水開始タイミングに対応するクランク角度R11と、上記必要量の水203の注入に要する時間とをもとに導出される。
Here, in the second embodiment, the water injection period of the downstream side water injection system 50 is a period from the timing T11 of the crank angle R11 to the timing T14 of the crank angle R14. That is, the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 is a period corresponding to the time obtained by adding the waiting time ΔT11 and the time ΔT12 shown in FIG. This water injection period is determined by the time required for injecting a required amount of water 203 into the first water injection position P1 shown in FIG. That is, the crank angle R14 corresponding to the water injection end timing (timing T14) of the downstream side water injection system 50 is based on the crank angle R11 corresponding to the water injection start timing and the time required to inject the required amount of water 203. Derived.
また、上流側注水系統60の注水期間は、クランク角度R12のタイミングT12からクランク角度R15のタイミングT15までの期間である。この注水期間は、図9に示す第2注水位置P2に必要量の水202を注入する際に掛かる時間によって決まる。すなわち、上流側注水系統60の注水終了タイミング(タイミングT15)に対応するクランク角度R15は、注水開始タイミングに対応するクランク角度R12と、上記必要量の水202の注入に要する時間とをもとに導出される。
Further, the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 is a period from the timing T12 of the crank angle R12 to the timing T15 of the crank angle R15. This water injection period is determined by the time taken to inject the required amount of water 202 into the second water injection position P2 shown in FIG. That is, the crank angle R15 corresponding to the water injection end timing (timing T15) of the upstream water injection system 60 is based on the crank angle R12 corresponding to the water injection start timing and the time required for injecting the required amount of water 202. Derived.
本実施形態2において、下流側注水系統50の注水期間と上流側注水系統60の注水期間との重なる期間は、図8に示すように、クランク角度R12からクランク角度R14までの時間ΔT12に相当する。この期間のうち、クランク角度R12からクランク角度Raまでの時間ΔTaの期間は、下流側注水系統50の注水によって注水層間の燃料量が減量調整される期間の一部である。また、クランク角度R11からクランク角度R12までの待機時間ΔT11の期間は、上記注水層間の燃料量が減量調整される期間の残部である。すなわち、これらの待機時間ΔT11と時間ΔTaとを加算した時間ΔT13の期間が、上記注水層間の燃料量が減量調整される全期間となる。上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングは、エンジン負荷の増加に伴って時間ΔT13が減少し、エンジン負荷の減少に伴って時間ΔT13が増加するように、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングから待機時間ΔT11だけ遅れるタイミングに制御される。すなわち、この待機時間ΔT11は、エンジン負荷の増加に伴って減少し、エンジン負荷の減少に伴って増加する。なお、この待機時間ΔT11が零値(ΔT11=0)である場合、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングは、下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングと同時のタイミングに制御される。
In the second embodiment, the overlapping period of the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 and the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 corresponds to the time ΔT12 from the crank angle R12 to the crank angle R14 as shown in FIG. . Among these periods, a period of time ΔTa from the crank angle R12 to the crank angle Ra is a part of a period in which the fuel amount between the water injection layers is adjusted to be reduced by water injection from the downstream water injection system 50. Further, the period of the standby time ΔT11 from the crank angle R11 to the crank angle R12 is the remainder of the period during which the fuel amount between the water injection layers is adjusted to decrease. That is, a period of time ΔT13 obtained by adding the waiting time ΔT11 and time ΔTa is an entire period in which the fuel amount between the water injection layers is adjusted to be reduced. The water injection start timing of the upstream water injection system 60 waits from the water injection start timing of the downstream water injection system 50 so that the time ΔT13 decreases as the engine load increases and the time ΔT13 increases as the engine load decreases. The timing is controlled to be delayed by time ΔT11. That is, this waiting time ΔT11 decreases with an increase in engine load, and increases with a decrease in engine load. When the waiting time ΔT11 is a zero value (ΔT11 = 0), the water injection start timing of the upstream side water injection system 60 is controlled at the same time as the water injection start timing of the downstream side water injection system 50.
以上、説明したように、本発明の実施形態2に係る燃料噴射装置110では、下流側注水系統50の注水期間と上流側注水系統60の注水期間との少なくとも一部が重なるようにすべく、下流側注水系統50が注水を開始してから上流側注水系統60が注水を開始するまでの上流側注水系統60の待機時間ΔT11をエンジン負荷に応じて算出し、算出した待機時間ΔT11分、上流側注水系統60の注水開始タイミングを下流側注水系統50の注水開始タイミングよりも遅らせるように、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御するようにし、その他を実施形態1と同様にしている。このため、上述した実施形態1の場合と同様の作用効果を享受するとともに、下流側注水系統50の注水によって注水層間の燃料量を減量調整し得る時間を、上流側注水系統60を先に注水する場合に比べて広範囲に調整することができ、これにより、エンジン負荷に応じた燃料噴射量に対する注水層間の燃料量の割合を簡易に最適化できるようになる。
As described above, in the fuel injection device 110 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, at least a part of the water injection period of the downstream water injection system 50 and the water injection period of the upstream water injection system 60 overlap, The standby time ΔT11 of the upstream side water injection system 60 from when the downstream side water injection system 50 starts water injection to when the upstream side water injection system 60 starts water injection is calculated according to the engine load, and the calculated standby time ΔT11 minutes, upstream The water injection start timings of the downstream water injection system 50 and the upstream water injection system 60 are controlled so that the water injection start timing of the side water injection system 60 is delayed from the water injection start timing of the downstream water injection system 50, and the other embodiments Same as 1. For this reason, while enjoying the effect similar to the case of Embodiment 1 mentioned above, the upstream water injection system 60 is water-filled first for the time which can reduce the fuel quantity between water injection layers by the water injection of the downstream water injection system 50. Compared with the case where it does, it can adjust in a wide range, and it becomes possible to optimize easily the ratio of the fuel quantity between the water injection layers with respect to the fuel injection quantity according to engine load.
なお、上述した実施形態1、2では、下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御する際、エンジン負荷に応じて算出した注水開始の待機時間(例えばΔT1またはΔT11)からクランク角度を算出し、得られたクランク角度と検出部91によるクランク角度検出値とが一致するタイミングを、先の注水開始タイミングに続く後の注水開始タイミングとしていたが、本発明は、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、舶用ディーゼルエンジンのエンジン回転時の経過時間(すなわち時間軸)に沿って下流側注水系統50および上流側注水系統60の各注水開始タイミングを制御し、先の注水開始タイミングからの経過時間がエンジン負荷に応じた待機時間に達したタイミングを後の注水開始タイミングとしてもよい。
In the first and second embodiments described above, when controlling the water injection start timing of the downstream water injection system 50 and the upstream water injection system 60, the water injection start standby time calculated according to the engine load (for example, ΔT1 or ΔT11). The crank angle is calculated from the above, and the timing at which the obtained crank angle coincides with the crank angle detection value by the detector 91 is set as the water injection start timing following the previous water injection start timing. It is not limited. For example, the water injection start timings of the downstream water injection system 50 and the upstream water injection system 60 are controlled along the elapsed time (that is, the time axis) when the marine diesel engine rotates, and the elapsed time from the previous water injection start timing is controlled. The timing when the standby time corresponding to the engine load is reached may be set as the subsequent water injection start timing.
また、上述した実施形態1、2では、3つの燃料噴射弁30を備えた燃料噴射装置を例示したが、本発明は、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、本発明において、燃料噴射弁30の配置数は、3つに限らず、1つでもよいし、複数(2つ以上)でもよい。
In the first and second embodiments described above, the fuel injection device including the three fuel injection valves 30 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the present invention, the number of fuel injection valves 30 is not limited to three, but may be one or more (two or more).
また、上述した実施形態1、2により本発明が限定されるものではなく、上述した各構成要素を適宜組み合わせて構成したものも本発明に含まれる。その他、上述した実施形態1、2に基づいて当業者等によりなされる他の実施形態、実施例および運用技術等は全て本発明の範疇に含まれる。
Further, the present invention is not limited by the above-described first and second embodiments, and the present invention includes a configuration in which the above-described constituent elements are appropriately combined. In addition, other embodiments, examples, operation techniques, and the like made by those skilled in the art based on Embodiments 1 and 2 described above are all included in the scope of the present invention.
以上のように、本発明に係る燃料噴射装置は、舶用ディーゼルエンジンのシリンダ内の燃焼室に対する燃料および水の噴射に有用であり、特に、エンジン負荷に応じて注水層間の燃料量を調整することができる燃料噴射装置に適している。
