[0002] Traditional piston engines occupy a very important position in the field of small aircraft such as military and commercial drones due to their many advantages such as simple structure, small size, light weight, mature technology and easy maintenance.

[0003] Compared with the traditional four-stroke piston engine, the two-stroke piston engine has a simpler structure and a higher power-to-weight ratio, and therefore has broad application prospects in the field of small aircraft power in the future.

[0004] At present, the main power source for drones is internal combustion engines, among which gasoline engines are the main ones. As a lightweight fuel, gasoline has high energy density, unstable chemical molecules, high volatility, and is easy to ignite. It is difficult to store, requires harsh storage conditions, is flammable and explosive, and has poor safety. If used in the military, there is also the problem of the singleness of military fuel. Summary of the invention

In the electronic control system, the air nozzle is fixed on the upper part of the cylinder body, and the air nozzle, the fuel nozzle, and the air rail housing form a mixing chamber. The compressor in the supercharging system provides a suitable compressed air pressure, and introduces the compressed air generated by the compressor into the mixing chamber through the high-pressure air pipe, and is secondary atomized with the oil mist sprayed by the fuel nozzle. The electronic control unit (ECU) in the electronic control system obtains the crankshaft position sensor signal and the throttle position sensor signal to calculate the basic injection amount, obtains the cylinder head temperature sensor signal and the intake flow sensor signal (intake temperature sensor, intake pressure sensor) to calculate the corrected injection coefficient, and calculates the compensation coefficient according to the electrical load of the engine, thereby determining the final injection pulse width to maintain the engine operation and ensure lean combustion.

Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0013] like Figure 1As shown, a lean combustion control method for an ignition diesel engine includes an engine body, an electronic control system, a supercharging system, and a fuel supply system. The engine body is provided with a crankcase 105, a cylinder body 102, and a cylinder head 101. The air rail housing 401 of the fuel supply system is installed on the cylinder head 101, and fixes the air nozzle 209 in the electronic control system, and fixes the fuel nozzle 210 together with the fuel rail housing 404. The compressor 301 of the supercharging system is fixed on the crankcase 105, and is connected to the air rail housing 401 through a high-pressure air pipe 302. The crankshaft position sensor 204 of the electronic control system is installed on the crankcase 105, the throttle position sensor 205, the throttle servo motor 206, and the intake air flow sensor (intake air temperature sensor, intake air pressure sensor) 207 are installed on the throttle housing 107, and the cylinder head temperature sensor 201 is installed on the cylinder head. The sensors, actuators and electronic control unit ECU212 in the electronic control system are connected through a wiring harness.

[0014] In this example, when the engine is running, the piston 103 in the cylinder body reciprocates, which is converted by the connecting rod 104 into the rotational motion of the crankshaft 106. The crankshaft 106 drives the compressor 301 to operate and generate compressed air of appropriate pressure; the fuel rail housing 404, the air rail housing 401, the fuel nozzle 210, and the air nozzle 209 on the cylinder head 101 form a mixing chamber 501. The compressed air is filled into the mixing chamber 501 through the high-pressure air pipe 302, mixed with the diesel injected from the fuel nozzle 210, atomized once, and then sprayed into the combustion chamber 502 through the air nozzle 209 for secondary atomization.

[0015] In this example, after the secondary atomized mixture enters the combustion chamber 502 , the piston 103 moves upward and is compressed to generate sufficient pressure and temperature, and is ignited by the spark plug 202 .

[0016] To sum up, since the viscosity of diesel is higher than that of gasoline, its low-temperature fluidity is poor, and the atomization effect is poor under the same pressure. However, through the above-mentioned control method, the diesel is atomized twice under the appropriate pressure, so that the engine can be started and operated without adding redundant heating devices.
