Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of a fuel metering valve for a diesel engine high pressure common rail pump, in particular to a fuel metering valve for a diesel engine high pressure common rail pump which is resistant to harsh oil products. Background Art
[0002] High-pressure common rail fuel injection system has become one of the main development trends of diesel engine technology in the world today, and is an important means for diesel engines to reduce pollutant emissions. The high-pressure common rail fuel system includes common rail pump, common rail pipe, injector, ECU, sensor and other components. The common rail pump is a key component in the common rail system, and its oil volume is precisely controlled by the metering valve. The metering valve oil volume adjustment is always in the positive pressure zone, and the position close to the plunger cavity makes the oil volume adjustment respond quickly. The metering valve has an important impact on the performance of the common rail pump and is a key component to improve the performance of the common rail pump. In recent years, domestic emission regulations have been continuously upgraded, and the implementation of the National VI emission in July 2019 has put higher and higher requirements on the quality of domestic diesel, and put forward more stringent requirements on the resistance of diesel common rail components to harsh oil products. With the long-term operation of the engine, the wear of parts, mechanical vibration, and material aging are inevitable. The resulting foreign matter and debris will cause the oil quality to deteriorate, which will have a greater impact on engine emissions. As the actuator that controls the fuel entering the engine, the fuel metering valve directly controls the amount of fuel entering the engine. It is crucial to resist and prevent the impurities of harsh oil products for engine performance.
[0003] The existing fuel metering valves used in diesel engine high-pressure common rail pumps are prone to rust, sticking, corrosion and other faults, causing engine performance loss or excessive emissions, and the market feedback shows that the failure rate is relatively high.
[0004] The fuel metering valve is a key component for controlling the fuel entering the engine. Currently, due to the failure of this component in the domestic market, it is impossible to repair the component and can only be replaced directly, resulting in high engine maintenance costs. Summary of the invention
[0005] The above problems can be effectively solved by improving the design and materials.

[0010] A gap sheet is provided on the upper end surface of the front choke sleeve, and the gap sheet can prevent the armature from contacting the front choke sleeve, causing the armature to be unable to demagnetize and return in time; the gap sheet is a circular structure, and three circular protrusions are evenly distributed on both end surfaces, and the circular protrusions provide oil drainage gaps to form a smooth oil drainage gap, thereby avoiding blockage of the oil drainage hole caused by plane contact;
[0011] The lower end of the front choke sleeve is provided with a valve body, and the front choke sleeve and the valve body are connected by radial annular riveting, which avoids the risk of the inner hole of the valve body being deformed due to assembly, resulting in the risk of the valve core being stuck, and also improves the assembly consistency; a valve core is arranged in the valve body to form a flow valve pair, and the valve body and the valve core are made of corrosion-resistant and oxidation-resistant precipitation hardened stainless steel materials.

[0012] A spring is provided at the lower end of the valve core. The spring adopts a conical structure. The conical shape increases the spring ring gap, increases the flow area, and avoids the risk of throttling of the spring ring gap at a large flow rate. A spring seat is installed at the lower end of the spring. An oil inlet hole is provided at the center of the spring seat. The spring seat is assembled in the valve body. The pre-compression stroke of the spring is adjusted by controlling the assembly depth of the spring seat.
[0013] A filter is provided at the lower end of the valve body to prevent foreign particles from entering the fuel flow cavity, thereby preventing foreign particles from blocking the engine moving parts and affecting engine combustion; a buckle is designed at one end of the filter, and the buckle is assembled in the slot of the valve body.
[0014] Furthermore, the coil component is placed inside the shell, and a pressing plate and a corrugated gasket are provided between the coil component and the shell.
[0015] Furthermore, sliding bearings are provided in the rear choke sleeve and the front choke sleeve to provide movement guidance for the armature and the armature shaft, and the armature and the armature shaft can move flexibly in the oil storage cavity.
[0016] Furthermore, the armature shaft initially leaves an empty travel section with the valve core to avoid large dispersion of the armature shaft extension end due to assembly and accumulation of parts size chains, thereby causing poor consistency of maximum flow, and the empty travel section is 0.1 mm.
[0017] Furthermore, a flange is installed on the step end face of the front choke sleeve, and the flange and the front choke sleeve are connected by interference fitting; two steps are provided on the front choke sleeve to prevent the flange from damaging the next-level assembly surface when assembling downward, causing poor welding between the magnetic isolation ring and the front choke sleeve of the next level; the upper end face of the flange is connected to the lower end of the shell.
