Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of engine injector installation, and in particular relates to a measuring device for the protruding height of an injector. Background Art

[0002] The injector is one of the important components in the fuel supply system of a diesel engine. The protruding height of the injector, as a key parameter, plays a decisive role in the overall performance and emissions of the diesel engine.

[0003] The protruding height of the injector affects the mixing process of the fuel spray and air in the engine combustion chamber and the distribution of the combustible mixture in the combustion chamber. If the protruding height of the injector is relatively large, the fuel spray will directly hit the bottom of the combustion chamber, resulting in fuel waste, combustion carbon deposition, and even damage to the piston top. On the contrary, if the protruding height of the injector is relatively small, the cylinder head will block part of the fuel spray cone angle, resulting in more fuel existing at the top of the combustion chamber, which will also cause insufficient mixing of fuel and air, thereby affecting the power performance, economy, and emissions of the whole machine.

[0004] Generally, the protruding height of the injector can be controlled by adjusting the gasket between the injector and the cylinder head or adjusting the tightening torque of the injector compression nut, and a depth gauge (or micrometer) is used for measurement. However, during the assembly process, since there are many parts affecting the protruding height of the injector and the control of adjusting the gasket and tightening torque is highly subjective; the protruding height needs to be measured after each adjustment, and the measurement accuracy using a depth gauge (or micrometer) is low, and the test efficiency is low.
