In the premixed combustion mode, the fuel achieves a high degree of atomization and mixing before entering the combustion chamber, which is beneficial to the uniformity and stability of the combustion process.

[0046] In a possible implementation, the linear motor comprises a mover 1, a stator 2 and a motor housing 3.

[0047] The linear motor is internally provided with permanent magnets to generate a magnetic field to drive the mover 1 to move linearly.

This design has simple structure, fast response, small energy loss, can improve the transmission efficiency and accuracy of the system, reduce mechanical wear and maintenance cost, and improve the overall reliability of the system.

[0049] In a possible implementation, the first fuel injector 9 and the second fuel injector 15 are used to adapt to different combustion modes of the jet ignition free piston internal combustion generator.

[0051] The spark plug 19 is installed inside the pre-chamber 13, and the spark plug 19 is used to ignite the mixture in the pre-chamber.

[0052] It should be noted that the first fuel injector and the second fuel injector adapt to different combustion modes, the third fuel injector switches the jet mode, and the spark plug in the pre-chamber ignites the mixture, which can flexibly control the combustion process according to the working condition requirements, and optimize the combustion efficiency and stability.

[0053] In a possible implementation, the connecting rod assembly includes a motor end spring seat 5, a spring 6, a connecting rod 7, and a piston end spring seat 8.

[0054] The spring 6 is arranged between the motor end spring seat 5 and the piston end spring seat 8, and is sleeved on the connecting rod 7.

[0055] The two ends of the connecting rod 7 are connected to the mover main shaft 1 and the piston 12 through bolts, respectively.

[0056] It should be noted that the connecting rod assembly realizes efficient connection of the linear motor and the piston through the motor end spring seat, the spring, and the piston end spring seat. The spring effectively buffers the impact force during the movement of the mover and the piston, reduces mechanical wear, prolongs the service life of the system, and ensures the reliability and stability of the system.

[0057] In a possible implementation, the state acquisition system includes a linear motor displacement sensor 4, an in-cylinder pressure sensor 16, a cylinder wall temperature sensor 20, and an oxygen sensor 21.

[0058] The linear motor displacement sensor 4 is installed on the motor housing 3 and is used to record the position information of the jet ignition free piston generator system during the working process.

[0059] The in-cylinder pressure sensor 16 is installed at the top end area of the cylinder cover of the main combustion chamber of the cylinder body 11, and is used to record the gas pressure change in the main combustion chamber of the jet ignition free piston generator system during the working process.

[0060] The cylinder wall temperature sensor 20 is installed in the middle region of the cylinder cover to record the cylinder wall temperature change of the jet ignition free piston power generation system during the working process.

[0061] The oxygen sensor 21 is installed in the exhaust pipeline to record the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas generated by the jet ignition free piston power generation system during the working process.

[0062] It should be noted that the state acquisition system acquires key data of the system in real time through the linear motor displacement sensor, the in-cylinder pressure sensor, the cylinder wall temperature sensor and the oxygen sensor, which provides accurate basis for the combustion process monitoring and adjustment of the system, optimizes the combustion efficiency, realizes flexible control in multiple modes, and timely discovers abnormal conditions to ensure efficient and stable operation of the system under different working conditions, and improves the overall performance and reliability of the system.

[0063] In a possible implementation, the control system includes a host computer and a control ECU.

[0064] The control ECU is connected with the first fuel injector 9, the second fuel injector 15, the third fuel injector 17, the spark plug 19, the state acquisition system and the motor controller through connection lines respectively.

[0065] The state acquisition system transmits the acquired data to the host computer, and the host computer analyzes the in-cylinder combustion process according to the acquisition data and transmits a control signal to the control ECU.

[0066] It should be noted that the control system cooperates with the control ECU through the host computer to realize closed-loop control of data acquisition, analysis and instruction execution, the state acquisition system provides real-time operation data, the host computer accurately analyzes the in-cylinder combustion process based on the data and sends a control signal to the ECU, so as to flexibly adjust the working state of the fuel injector, the spark plug and the motor controller, ensure accurate control of the system under different working conditions, improve the combustion efficiency, power output and economy, and at the same time, enhance the adaptability and stability of the system to meet the demand of multiple fuels and modes.

[0067] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0068] In the present application, according to the operating state of the jet ignition free piston power generation system, the control system sends a control signal to control the fuel injector, flexibly switches the pre-chamber jet mode and the main combustion chamber combustion mode, improves the combustion efficiency, and improves the in-cylinder combustion process of the system, so that the system can better adapt to different working modes, effectively expand the fuel applicability of the free piston internal combustion generator, and promote the use and development of the free piston internal combustion generator technology.

[0069] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 4Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a control method according to the present application.

[0070] The present application also provides a control method applied to a variable combustion jet piloted free piston power generation system, which comprises the following steps:

[0071] S1: Collecting the operating state of the jet piloted free piston power generation system through a state acquisition system.

[0072] It should be noted that the state acquisition system can monitor the key operating parameters of the jet piloted free piston power generation system in real time, such as position information, in-cylinder pressure, cylinder wall temperature and tail gas oxygen concentration, to provide accurate data support for the combustion state, output power and operating efficiency of the system, so as to ensure that the control system can make a quick response and accurate adjustment, thereby optimizing the combustion process, improving the system performance and stability, and meeting the efficient operation demand under multiple working conditions.

[0073] S2: According to the operating state, using the control system to optimize the power generation capacity of the jet piloted free piston power generation system in different system modes.

[0074] The system mode includes a normal mode, a motion mode and an energy saving mode.

[0075] It should be noted that the control system flexibly switches different system modes according to the real-time collected operating state data, so as to meet the demand under different working conditions. In the normal mode, the system balances the power performance and economy, in the motion mode, the power output is improved, and in the energy saving mode, the combustion efficiency is optimized, the fuel consumption and emissions are reduced. This intelligent control effectively improves the adaptability, operating efficiency and stability of the system, and ensures that the power generation system realizes the best performance under multiple working conditions.

[0076] In actual operation, the host computer sends a start command to the control ECU, and the system is cold started under the dragging of the linear motor. When the in-cylinder pressure collected by the in-cylinder pressure sensor is greater than 8 bar, the required pressure for ignition is met. At this time, the type of fuel used is judged. When the fuel has high requirements on atomization characteristics, diesel, hydrogen and aviation kerosene are selected to be installed in the oil injector of the cylinder body, and when the fuel has general requirements on atomization characteristics, gasoline, natural gas and alcohol are selected to be installed in the oil injector of the intake pipe. Then the host computer sends a command to the spark plug to ignite, and the combustion system starts to work. When the system continuously and stably operates for 1 min, the linear motor is switched from the electric mode to the power generation mode.

[0077] In one possible implementation, when the system mode is the normal mode, the optimization of the power generation capacity of the jet piloted free piston power generation system specifically includes:

[0078] The gas pressure in the cylinder and the system position information of the jet ignition free piston generator system are detected by a cylinder pressure sensor and a linear motor displacement sensor respectively.

[0079] The system output power of the jet ignition free piston generator system is determined by the gas pressure and the system position information.

[0080] When the system output power is lower than the preset system output power, the third fuel injector is activated by the control system to switch the jet mode to the active jet mode, thereby optimizing the power generation capacity of the jet ignition free piston generator system and improving the power generation capacity of the jet ignition free piston generator system.

[0081] When the system output power is higher than the preset system output power, the jet ignition free piston generator system is stopped by the control system to avoid waste of the output power of the jet ignition free piston generator system.

[0082] Wherein, according to the cylinder gas pressure p, displacement information x, cylinder diameter D and the running stroke S of the free piston generator, the corresponding system work can be derived:

[0083] V = 0.25πD 2 (S-x)

[0084] W = ∫pVdt

[0085] Wherein, V represents the volume of the cylinder, D represents the diameter of the rigid body, S represents the running stroke of the free piston generator, x represents the displacement information, W represents the work of the free piston generator system, and p represents the cylinder gas pressure.

[0086] It should be noted that by monitoring the cylinder pressure and system position information in real time, the output power is accurately determined, the control system dynamically adjusts the power generation state, ensures that the system output power meets the demand, avoids energy waste, balances the power and economy, and improves the overall efficiency and stability of the system.

[0087] Specifically, when the system switches to the normal mode, the system needs to balance the power and economy at the same time, the cylinder gas pressure is detected by the cylinder pressure sensor, and the system position information is detected by the linear motor displacement sensor, so as to determine the system output power at this time, and compare the system output power with the design value, when the output power is lower than the design value, the upper computer sends an instruction to the control ECU at this time, so that the precombustion chamber fuel injector starts to work, which is used to improve the fuel concentration in the precombustion chamber, improve the initial state of flame propagation, improve the constant volume degree of combustion, and thereby improve the system work capacity; when the output power is higher than the design value, the upper computer sends an instruction to the control ECU at this time, so that the precombustion chamber fuel injector stops working, thereby balancing the system power and economy.

[0088] It should be noted that the person skilled in the art can set the size of the preset system output power according to the actual situation, and the present application is not limited.

[0089] In one possible implementation, when the system mode is the motion mode, optimizing the power generation capacity of the jet piloted free piston power generation system specifically includes:

[0090] The cylinder wall temperature is detected by a cylinder wall temperature sensor.

[0091] According to the cylinder wall temperature, the in-cylinder combustion state is determined.

[0092] When the cylinder wall temperature is lower than the preset wall temperature, the second fuel injector is activated by the control system to switch the combustion mode to the diffusion combustion mode, optimize the power generation capacity of the jet piloted free piston power generation system, and improve the system power of the jet piloted free piston power generation system.

[0093] It should be noted that the person skilled in the art can set the size of the preset wall temperature according to the actual situation, and the present application is not limited.

[0094] It should be noted that the cylinder wall temperature is monitored in real time by the cylinder wall temperature sensor, the in-cylinder combustion state is accurately determined, when the temperature is lower than the preset value, the system automatically adjusts the combustion process, improves the combustion completeness and power output, and ensures the efficient and stable operation of the system under high power demand.

[0095] Specifically, when the system switches to the motion mode, the system needs good power at this time, the cylinder wall temperature is detected by the cylinder wall temperature sensor to determine the in-cylinder combustion state, when the cylinder wall temperature is lower than 100℃, the in-cylinder combustion process is insufficient at this time, the upper computer sends instructions to the control ECU, in the diffusion combustion mode, the pre-chamber fuel injector and the main combustion chamber fuel injector are increased in pulse width, which is used to speed up the combustion speed and improve the system power; in the premixed combustion mode, the intake pipe fuel injector is cut off, the main combustion chamber fuel injector is started, the system combustion mode is changed from premixed combustion to diffusion combustion, the stability of flame propagation is increased, and the system power is improved.

[0096] In one possible implementation, when the system mode is the energy saving mode, optimizing the power generation capacity of the jet piloted free piston power generation system specifically includes:

[0097] The oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is detected by an oxygen sensor.

[0098] According to the oxygen concentration, the air-fuel ratio of the jet piloted free piston power generation system in the cylinder is determined.

[0099] When the air-fuel ratio is lower than the preset air-fuel ratio, the first fuel injector is activated by the control system to switch the combustion mode to the premixed mode, optimize the power generation capacity of the jet piloted free piston generator system, and improve the system economy of the jet piloted free piston generator system.

[0100] It should be noted that the size of the preset air-fuel ratio can be set by the person skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and the present application is not limited.

[0101] It should be noted that the oxygen sensor is used to detect the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas in real time, accurately determine the air-fuel ratio of the combustion, and timely adjust the combustion process to ensure more complete combustion, realize lean combustion to reduce fuel consumption, improve system economy and emission performance, and meet the energy saving and environmental protection requirements.

[0102] Specifically, when the system switches to the energy saving mode, good economy is required at this time, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is detected by the oxygen sensor to determine the air-fuel ratio of the current in-cylinder combustion of the system, when the air-fuel ratio is lower than 14.5, the upper computer sends an instruction to the control ECU to make the pre-chamber fuel injector start working, and at the same time, the main combustion chamber fuel injector injection pulse width is reduced to increase the system air-fuel ratio, realize lean combustion, reduce fuel consumption, improve emissions, and improve system economy.

[0103] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0104] In the present application, according to the operating state of the jet piloted free piston generator system, the control system sends a control signal to control the fuel injector, flexibly switches the pre-chamber jet mode and the main combustion chamber combustion mode, improves the combustion efficiency, and improves the system in-cylinder combustion process, so that the system can better adapt to different working modes, effectively expand the fuel applicability of the free piston internal combustion generator, and promote the use and development of the free piston internal combustion generator technology.

In order to make the public have a thorough understanding of the present application, specific details are described in the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the present application can also be completely understood without the description of these details for the person skilled in the art. In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion to the essence of the present application, well-known methods, processes, procedures, elements and circuits are not described in detail.

[0106] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
