Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of diesel engines, in particular to an uninterrupted fuel supply system for a fuel injector and a diesel engine. Background Art

[0002] In a marine heavy fuel oil diesel engine, each injector is typically paired with an injection pump. A high-pressure fuel line connects the pump and the injector, supplying fuel to the injector. The pump has a delivery valve. When the fuel pressure in the pump exceeds the opening pressure of the valve, the valve opens, allowing fuel to flow to the injector. When the plunger's spiral groove connects to the oil inlet and return ports, the valve closes, stopping the pump's fuel supply. Fuel remains in the high-pressure fuel line, allowing the next pump to quickly build pressure. However, the presence of fuel can cause hydraulic vibration in the fuel supply system, affecting system reliability.

[0003] The cooling of the injector relies on the water jacket on the cylinder head and the engine oil. When the diesel engine is under low load, the temperature of the injector is low, which makes the heavy oil fluidity and atomization effect poor. When the diesel engine is under high load, the temperature of the injector is high, which cannot meet the cooling needs of the injector. Summary of the Invention

[0032] (1) Not only does the fuel injection pump supply high-pressure fuel to the fuel injector when pumping oil, but it also supplies low-pressure fuel to the fuel injector when the fuel injection pump is not working. The low-pressure fuel circulates. When the diesel engine is under low load, the low-pressure fuel heats the fuel injector. When the diesel engine is under high load, the low-pressure fuel flows inside the fuel injector, absorbs the heat of the fuel injector, reduces the temperature of the fuel injector, and improves the reliability of the fuel injector. Especially for heavy oil diesel engines, before the diesel engine is started, the low-pressure circulating oil preheats the fuel injector in advance, the heavy oil has good fluidity, and the injection atomization effect of the heavy oil is guaranteed, realizing the start and shutdown of heavy oil;

The needle valve 202 is provided with a needle valve pressure surface 209, and a pressure storage chamber 210 is provided at the needle valve pressure surface 209. The pressure storage chamber 210 is connected to the needle valve oil inlet passage 208 and the nozzle 205, respectively.

[0046] The oil pump outlet 12 and the injector pipe 204 are connected through the high-pressure oil pipe 3;

[0047] The oil pump outlet hole 12 is directly connected to the compression oil chamber 16;

[0048] A low-pressure control valve is provided in the injector body 201, and the opening pressure of the low-pressure control valve is greater than the oil inlet pressure of the injection pump 1;

[0049] When the roller 10 contacts the fuel supply cam 19, the plunger 13 compresses the fuel. When the pressure in the compression oil chamber 16 exceeds the opening pressure of the low-pressure control valve, the low-pressure control valve opens, and the injector body oil inlet passage 207 and the needle valve oil inlet passage 208 are connected. The fuel in the compression oil chamber 16 enters the pressure accumulation chamber 210 in sequence through the high-pressure oil pipe 3, the injector body oil inlet passage 207, and the needle valve oil inlet passage 208. The fuel acts on the needle valve pressure surface 209. The force of the fuel on the needle valve pressure surface 209 is greater than the force of the needle valve return spring 203 on the needle valve 202. The needle valve 202 lifts, and the fuel in the pressure accumulation chamber 210 is sprayed out through the nozzle 205.

[0050] When the roller 10 contacts the base circle 18, the plunger spiral groove 111 is connected to the plunger oil inlet and return hole 17, and the compression oil chamber 16 is connected to the oil pump low-pressure oil chamber 15. At this time, the pressure of the compression oil chamber 16 is equal to the oil inlet pressure of the injection pump 1, and the pressure of the compression oil chamber 16 is lower than the opening pressure of the low-pressure control valve. The low-pressure control valve is closed, and the injector body oil inlet oil path 207 is connected to the injector oil return hole 206. The fuel from the injection pump 1 continuously flows into and out of the injector.

[0051] Furthermore, the low-pressure control valve includes a low-pressure control valve core 211 and a low-pressure control valve core return spring 212;

[0052] A low-pressure control valve core hole is provided at the end of the needle valve 202. A low-pressure control valve core 211 slides in the low-pressure control valve core hole. A low-pressure control valve core pressure surface 216 is provided at the end of the low-pressure control valve core 211 extending into the low-pressure control valve core hole. At the low-pressure control valve core pressure surface 216, the needle valve 202 and the low-pressure control valve core 211 form a low-pressure valve core control chamber 213. The needle valve 202 is provided with a needle valve oil inlet hole 214 for connecting the injector body oil inlet oil passage 207 and the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213. The low-pressure control valve core 211 is provided with a low-pressure control valve core oil return oil passage communicating with the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213. The needle valve 202 is provided with a needle valve oil return hole 215.

[0053] The fuel in the compression oil chamber 16 sequentially passes through the oil pump outlet 12, the high-pressure oil pipe 3, the injector pipe 204, and the injector body oil inlet passage 207 and enters the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213. The fuel pressure in the compression oil chamber 16 and the fuel pressure in the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213 are equal. When the roller 10 contacts the oil supply cam 19, the fuel in the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213 becomes high-pressure fuel. The force of the fuel acting on the low-pressure control valve core pressure surface 216 is greater than the force of the low-pressure control valve core return spring 212 on the low-pressure control valve core 211. The low-pressure control valve core 211 rises, connecting the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213 with the needle valve oil inlet passage 208. The fuel in the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213 enters the pressure accumulator chamber 210, pushing the needle valve 202 up, and the fuel in the pressure accumulator chamber 210 is sprayed out through the nozzle 205.

[0054] When the roller 10 contacts the base circle 18, the force of the fuel acting on the pressure surface 216 of the low-pressure control valve core is less than the force of the low-pressure control valve core return spring 212 on the low-pressure control valve core 211, the low-pressure control valve core return oil circuit is connected to the needle valve return oil hole 215, the needle valve return oil hole 215 is connected to the injector return oil hole 206, and the fuel continuously flows into and out of the injector 2.

[0055] Furthermore, the injector pipe 204 extends into the injector body 201, the needle valve return spring 203 is located between the first needle valve spring seat 217 and the second needle valve spring seat 218, the first needle valve spring seat 217 rests on the injector pipe 204, and the low-pressure control valve core return spring 212 is located between the low-pressure control valve core 211 and the second needle valve spring seat 218.

[0056] Furthermore, the low-pressure control valve core return spring 212 is located between the low-pressure control valve core spring seat 219 and the low-pressure control valve core 211 , and the low-pressure control valve core spring seat 219 abuts against the second needle valve spring seat 218 .

[0057] Furthermore, the injector body 201 is provided with a spring chamber, in which the first needle valve spring seat 217, the needle valve return spring 203, the second needle valve spring seat 218, the low-pressure control valve core spring seat 219 and the low-pressure control valve core return spring 212 are all located; the injector body 201 is provided with an injector body return oil path 220, which is connected between the spring chamber and the needle valve return oil hole 215, and the spring chamber is connected to the injector oil return hole 206.

[0058] Furthermore, the low-pressure control valve core oil return circuit includes a low-pressure control valve core oblique oil circuit 221 and a low-pressure control valve core annular oil circuit 222 that are connected to each other. The low-pressure control valve core oblique oil circuit 221 is connected to the low-pressure valve core control chamber 213; when the roller 10 contacts the base circle 18, the low-pressure control valve core annular oil circuit 222 is connected to the needle valve oil return hole 215.

[0059] Furthermore, the lift of the needle valve 202 is H1, H1 = (0.5-0.7) mm, so as to obtain better circulation, and at the same time, the impact force when the needle valve 202 is opened is relatively small.

[0060] Furthermore, the diameter of the needle valve oil return hole 215 is R, R = (1-1.5) mm, and the lift of the low-pressure control valve core 211 is H2, H2 = (2-2.5) mm, to ensure good flow and reduce the impact force when the low-pressure control valve core 211 closes. The low-pressure control valve core 211 has a relatively large lift. To mitigate the impact surface pressure of the valve core during resetting, the sealing surface is designed with a flat structure to achieve good surface pressure and improve system reliability.

[0061] The opening pressure of the low-pressure control valve core is F1, and the pressure of the low-pressure oil chamber of the oil pump is F2. F2 is approximately equal to three times F1. Preferably, 2.8F2≤F1≤3.2F2 to ensure that when the plunger of the oil pump in other cylinders is relieved, the pressure fluctuation is reduced, and the low-pressure control valve is still in the closed state, and the low-pressure fuel can circulate normally in the system.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] A diesel engine includes: a cylinder head 4 and a fuel tank, and also includes the uninterrupted fuel supply system for the injector involved in Example 1, the injector 2 is installed on the cylinder head 4, the injector pipe 204 and the cylinder head 4 are separated to form a cylinder oil return path 41, the cylinder head 4 is provided with a cylinder head oil return hole 42, the cylinder oil return path 41 is connected between the injector oil return hole 206 and the cylinder head oil return hole 42, and the cylinder head oil return hole 42 and the oil pump inlet return hole are respectively connected to the fuel tank.

[0064] When the roller 10 contacts the base circle 18, the direction of fuel flow is: fuel tank-oil pump oil inlet and return hole-oil pump low-pressure oil chamber 15-plunger oil inlet and return hole 17-compression oil chamber 16-oil pump oil outlet hole 12-high-pressure oil pipe 3-injector connecting pipe 204-injector body oil inlet oil path 207-needle valve oil inlet hole 214-low-pressure valve core control chamber 213-low-pressure control valve core oblique oil path 221-low-pressure control valve core annular oil path 222-needle valve return hole 215-injector body oil return path 220-spring chamber-injector oil return hole 206-cylinder body oil return path 41-cylinder head oil return hole 42-fuel tank.

[0065] When the roller 10 contacts the fuel supply cam 19, the direction of fuel flow is: fuel tank-fuel pump inlet and return hole-fuel pump low-pressure oil chamber 15-plunger oil inlet and return hole 17-compression oil chamber 16-fuel pump oil outlet hole 12-high-pressure oil pipe 3-injector connecting pipe 204-injector body oil inlet passage 207-needle valve oil inlet hole 214-low-pressure valve core control chamber 213-needle valve oil inlet passage 208-pressure accumulation chamber 210-nozzle 205.

[0066] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0067] (1) Not only does the fuel injection pump 1 supply high-pressure fuel to the fuel injector 2 when pumping oil, but the fuel injection pump 1 also supplies low-pressure fuel to the fuel injector 2 when it is not working. The low-pressure fuel circulates. When the diesel engine is under low load, the low-pressure fuel heats the fuel injector 2. When the diesel engine is under high load, the low-pressure fuel flows inside the fuel injector 2, absorbing the heat of the fuel injector 2, reducing the temperature of the fuel injector 2 and improving the reliability of the fuel injector 2. Especially for heavy oil diesel engines, before the diesel engine is started, the low-pressure circulating oil preheats the fuel injector 2 in advance, and the heavy oil has good fluidity, ensuring the injection atomization effect of the heavy oil, and realizing the start and shutdown of the heavy oil;

[0068] (2) Fuel injection pump 1 has no oil outlet valve. High-pressure fuel exists only when pumping oil. The amount of high-pressure fuel in the system is greatly reduced, and the hydraulic vibration generated by the high-pressure fuel is also greatly reduced, thus improving system reliability.

[0069] (3) When low-pressure fuel circulates, low-pressure fuel always exists in the system, and oil pressure can be quickly built up when pumping oil.
