Description

Technical Field

[0002] The fuel nozzle belongs to the field of engine technology. It is a device composed of a cavity, an oil valve and a nozzle cap. When the fuel pressure in the oil cavity is higher than a set value, the oil valve opens and the fuel is sprayed out through the nozzle cap. The oil valve is composed of a valve body, a valve seat and a spring. The rear end of the valve seat is connected to the cavity to form an oil cavity. The cavity is provided with an inlet channel to enter the oil cavity. The spring is located in the oil cavity and acts between the valve body and the valve seat to close the oil valve. The front end of the valve seat is connected to the nozzle cap to form a residual volume. The nozzle cap is provided with a spray hole connected to the residual volume. A new type of structural fuel nozzle used in a pulse fuel pump in an electronic fuel injection system. It has the beneficial effects and progress of small size, simple structure, low manufacturing cost and convenient setting of the injection direction.

[0003] One of the key components of the engine is the fuel nozzle, whose function is to atomize the fuel, accelerate the formation of the mixture, ensure stable combustion and improve combustion efficiency. However, the quality of fuel atomization will directly affect the combustion efficiency of the fuel. Poor atomization quality will result in a large average diameter of the liquid mist, making ignition difficult and increasing exhaust smoke; circumferential unevenness of the fuel will cause uneven temperature field at the combustion chamber outlet, resulting in local hot zones and affecting the life of the turbine; too small a spray cone angle will cause more oil droplets to concentrate on the center line of the flame tube for combustion, making the center too rich in oil and prone to smoke; the atomization characteristics of the nozzle have a great influence on the performance and working life of the combustion chamber,
