[0002] The electronically controlled common rail fuel system is an injection system based on mechanical, hydraulic and electrical technologies. This system uses a common rail pipe with a certain volume between the fuel supply pump and the injector to accumulate fuel to smooth pressure fluctuations, and then transports it to each injector through the oil pipe. The action of the injector solenoid valve controls the opening and closing of the injector. This system has the advantages of stable injection pressure and flexible adjustment of injection pressure and injection process.
[0003] Due to the needs of environmental protection and energy strategy, engines that use new energy sources such as methanol as fuel have unique advantages in industry prospects and have received widespread attention. However, although methanol as a fuel has the advantages of high industrial output and low emission pollution, it still has many application difficulties compared to traditional fuel oil. First, methanol lacks lubricity, so the lubrication of methanol fuel injectors is a design difficulty; second, methanol has a low boiling point, but the heat generated by combustion in the cylinder is high, and the working environment temperature is high, so there are high requirements for preventing methanol fuel from overheating and vaporization; third, methanol is toxic and volatile, so the sealing of related systems must be guaranteed.

The cooling sleeve is fixed on the circumference of the bottom of the needle valve body 22, and a nozzle cooling chamber 117 is formed between the cooling sleeve and the needle valve body 22. The needle valve lubricating oil passage 113 is connected between the piston guide sleeve 17 and the needle valve body 22; a sealing ring groove 114 is provided on the upper part of the hydraulic piston 18, and a plurality of inclined grooves are provided on the circumference of the middle and lower part of the hydraulic piston 18 to the outside of the matching surface, and the needle valve 21 is provided with a sealing ring groove 114 at the lower end of the matching part with the needle valve body 22, and a plurality of inclined grooves are provided on the circumference of the middle and upper part of the matching part with the needle valve body 22 to the outside of the matching surface.
[0027] The specific implementation process is as follows: when the electromagnet 5 is not energized, the methanol fuel flows into the fuel cavity 107 through the fuel inlet channel 102, and at the same time flows into the pressure control chamber 106 through the inlet flow hole 105. At this time, the control valve core 11 presses the ball valve seat 13, so that the steel ball 14 abuts against the return flow hole 104. The fuel pressure in the pressure control chamber 106 is equal to the fuel pressure in the fuel cavity 107. The hydraulic piston 18 and the two ends of the needle valve 21 are subjected to the fuel pressure and the spring force transmitted by the needle valve return spring 19. The combined force direction of the needle valve 21 is downward, maintaining the seated state, and the cone surface at the lower end of the needle valve 21 can abut against the injection end of the needle valve body 22.
[0028] When the electromagnet 5 is energized, it generates electromagnetic force, and the armature 8 is attracted. When the electromagnetic force is greater than the spring force of the control return spring 6, the control valve core 11 moves upward with the armature 8 to the large diameter of its bottom end and contacts the bottom end of the control guide sleeve 10 under the influence of the combined force. The steel ball 14 is out of position, and the reflux hole 104 is opened at this time. The oil in the pressure control chamber 106 flows up through the reflux hole 104, passes through the ball valve seat 13, and finally flows out of the fuel injector from the fuel return channel 103. At this time, the liquid pressure in the pressure control chamber 106 decreases, and the liquid pressure difference between the hydraulic piston 18 and the needle valve 21 increases. The needle valve 21 moves upward and opens the seal between it and the needle valve body 22, and the fuel is sprayed from the spray hole, and the injection process begins.
[0029] When the electromagnet 5 is powered off, the control reset spring 6 makes the control valve core 11 fall again, the steel ball 14 presses against the return flow hole 104 again, and the inlet flow hole 105 replenishes oil to the pressure control chamber 106. The hydraulic pressure increases. The needle valve 21 moves downward under the combined action of the hydraulic pressure transmitted by the hydraulic piston 18 and the needle valve reset spring 19, and the cone surface at the lower end of the needle valve 21 presses against the injection port of the needle valve body 22 again, and the injection process ends.
[0030] Since the injector uses the fuel liquid pressure difference to control the operation of the injector, when no power is supplied, even if the fuel liquid pressure increases, the upper liquid pressure on the needle valve 21 is still greater than the lower liquid pressure, and it will only change when power is supplied. Therefore, its start-up pressure is not bound to the spring structure, and the start-up pressure can be freely adjusted within a certain range. By directly controlling the operation of the injector through the electromagnetic element, the opening and closing time of a single injector on the engine can be changed at any time, making the control more flexible.
[0031] The lubricating oil circuit of the moving parts of the injector is composed of the cooling oil inlet channel 110, the control valve lubricating oil channel 111, and the needle valve lubricating oil channel 113. The engine oil flows into the surface of the control valve core 11 through the control valve lubricating oil channel 111 and the through hole on the control guide sleeve 10. Several lubricating ring grooves are opened on the guide section, and each groove is connected with the through hole on the control guide sleeve 10 through a vertical strip groove. The engine oil fully lubricates the surface of the control valve core 11 through these sections of lubricating ring grooves; the engine oil flows into the middle cavity of the needle valve body 22 through the needle valve lubricating oil channel 113, and flows into the surfaces of the hydraulic piston 18 and the needle valve 21 through the inclined grooves on both. The engine oil fully lubricates the surface of the parts through these sections of inclined grooves; because the engine oil has better lubricity than methanol, the moving parts are lubricated through the internal engine oil circuit, which can effectively improve the service life of the injector parts.
[0032] The two sealing grooves opened at the bottom end of the guide section of the control valve core 11, the two sealing ring grooves 114 opened on the upper end of the surface of the hydraulic piston 18 and the sealing ring groove 114 opened on the lower end of the surface of the needle valve 21 play the role of dynamic sealing. When methanol leaks into the first ring that is closer, the pressure will drop sharply with the sudden increase of the flow area, resulting in a significant reduction in the leakage rate of methanol due to the low pressure when it leaks into the second ring. This can prevent methanol from mixing with the engine oil and maintain the lubricating ability of the engine oil.
[0033] The circulating cooling oil circuit of the injector is composed of the oil inlet channel 108, the cooling ring cavity 109, the cooling oil inlet channel 110, the nozzle cooling cavity 117, the cooling oil outlet channel 116 and the oil return channel 115. The circulating cooling oil circuit is divided into three paths. One path is formed through the cooling ring cavity 109 and the oil ring grooves 112 opened at both ends of the orifice plate 15 to form a body cooling annular oil circuit, which mainly plays a heat insulation role, separates the cylinder from the fuel, and uses the cooling ring cavity 109 to prevent the high temperature on the cylinder from transferring heat to the methanol; the second path enters the oil cavity surrounded by the electromagnet 5, the control guide sleeve 10 and the sealing ring through the cooling oil inlet channel 110, and is connected to the cooling oil outlet channel 116 through the slots on the air gap adjustment sleeve 9. The cooling oil circuit mainly cools the electromagnetic components that generate heat and are more sensitive; the third path cools the nozzle through the nozzle cooling cavity 117 at the bottom of the needle valve 21. The three-path circulating oil circuit reduces the overall temperature of the injector to prevent the temperature of the methanol fuel from exceeding the boiling point.
[0034] Considering that the two ends of the orifice plate 15 are flat and tightly sealed, the sealing area is large and leakage is most likely to occur. Therefore, an oil ring groove 112 is opened at both ends of the orifice plate 15. The oil ring groove 112 is outside the fuel inlet channel 102 and the fuel return channel 103, and is connected to the oil inlet channel 108 and the oil return channel 115. During operation, the ring groove is filled with oil to form a hydraulic ring belt, and its pressure can prevent the leaked low-pressure fuel from flowing to the outside of the hydraulic ring belt. At the same time, due to the immiscible characteristics of oil and methanol, the oil seal is used to further prevent methanol from leaking and volatilizing.
