Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fast-response common rail fuel injector for a diesel engine, in particular to a high-pressure common rail fast-response fuel injector with axial misalignment control. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of a diesel engine's common rail injector assembly, a certain delay occurs from the time the injector receives the injection start pulse signal until the injection is completed. This delay is called the opening delay time. Similarly, a certain delay occurs from the time the injector receives the injection shutoff pulse signal until the injection is shut off. This delay is called the closing delay time. Shorter opening and closing delays indicate a faster injector response. Faster injector response improves injector operating stability, increases the injector assembly's adaptable engine speed, and improves engine power density. To control the duration of the injector assembly's injection, a common control valve solution currently uses a servo mechanism with an inlet and outlet oil metering port. The flow rate difference between the inlet and outlet ports is used to control the rail pressure within the servo mechanism, thereby controlling the response time.

[0003] In order to reduce the duration, it is necessary to reduce the opening or closing delay of the injector assembly during injection. Existing diesel engine injectors cannot control the opening and closing delays of the injector at the same time. In other words, the current control valve solution, in order to reduce the duration, if the parameters are matched by the flow difference between the inlet and outlet oil holes, there will be a hyperbolic effect on the effect of the opening delay and closing delay, and the ultimate actual effect is very limited.

[0004] In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the applicant has invented a high pressure

[0005] Common rail quick response injector reduces the response time during the operation of the injector assembly and improves the response speed.

[0006] Among them, the hydraulic throttle valve is one of the core parts. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a high-pressure common rail quick-response fuel injector with axial misalignment control.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] A hydraulic throttle valve in a high-pressure common rail fast-response injector with axial misalignment control comprises an end face throttling channel, a side face throttling channel, a first end face oblique channel, a valve shoulder side face channel, a second end face oblique channel, a valve core guide hole, an upper end face of the valve core and a valve core oil storage chamber. The end face throttling channel, the valve core guide hole and the valve core oil storage chamber are coaxially arranged. The valve core oil storage chamber is arranged between the valve core guide hole and the end face throttling channel. The side face throttling channel is communicated with the valve core oil storage chamber. The first end face oblique channel is communicated with the valve shoulder side face channel. The valve shoulder side face channel is communicated with a low-pressure oil circuit. The end face throttling channel is communicated with a comprehensive volume of a control valve seat. The first end face oblique channel is communicated with an end face groove of the control valve core.

[0010] The hydraulic throttle valve is arranged between the control valve seat and the needle valve body, that is, the upper end is connected to the lower end surface of the valve seat of the control valve seat, and the lower end is connected to the needle valve body, ensuring that the first inclined channel of the end surface is connected to the end surface groove, and the second inclined channel of the end surface is connected to the valve seat oil inlet channel.

[0011] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0012] The high-pressure common rail injector adopts this hydraulic throttle valve, which, in combination with the hydraulic control valve and the injector nozzle pair, can eliminate the hydraulic servo structure of the conventional injector. The nozzle is directly controlled by the present invention, which improves the response speed, reduces the duration, and increases the injection density. When the actuator loses power, the throttle valve core is sealed on the end face of the throttle valve, so the force exerted by the high-pressure liquid on the throttle valve core is relatively small, so the electromagnetic force required during operation can be relatively small, which can not only reduce the volume of components such as the actuator and the throttle valve core, but also be beneficial to the layout of the injector assembly; it can also reduce the heat generated by the actuator part during operation, which can improve the reliability of the injector assembly. The structural design of the throttle valve core and the throttle valve plane seal can flexibly change the area of ​​the sealing ring during the performance development of the injector assembly to achieve flexible control of the injection regular waveform and expand the application range of the injector assembly.
