Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of internal combustion engine combustion, and more specifically, to a visualization constant volume combustion device for observing jet ignition under the influence of a wall surface. Background Art
[0002] Under the background of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", as a power conversion device in automobiles, ships, and aviation, the piston internal combustion engine will, on the one hand, continuously break through the thermal efficiency limit, and on the other hand, use renewable low / zero-carbon fuels to achieve high efficiency, cleanliness, and net zero carbonization. Pre-chamber jet ignition is an engine combustion technology that can improve ignition stability and combustion rate and suppress knocking. By injecting a high-speed turbulent jet containing free radicals through the pre-chamber to initiate multi-point rapid combustion in the cylinder, the isochoric degree is increased, thereby the compression ratio can be increased. Active ignition can also expand the lean burn limit and EGR rate, both of which are beneficial to the improvement of thermal efficiency. At the same time, jet ignition is also expected to be applied to engines fueled with alternative fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol.
[0003] Scholars at home and abroad have carried out a large number of studies on the mechanism of jet ignition, the influence of various structures and thermal parameters, and engine applications, but there are at least the following deficiencies: the interaction between multiple jets affects the ignition area and effectiveness, and existing research rarely considers the ignition modes under different nozzle combinations; the inner wall surface and nozzle shape of the pre-chamber affect the initial flame and jet morphology, and there is currently a lack of optical experimental analysis and most are limited to conventional configurations; the jet flame collides with the external wall surface, which is directly related to the design of the combustion chamber and piston shape, and its design principle still lacks a theoretical basis; autoignition and knocking can still occur in the jet ignition mode, and introducing active spark ignition at the end can reduce pressure oscillations, but the influence of the interaction between the jet and the laminar flame surface is still unclear; in a dual-fuel direct injection engine, the pre-chamber flame jet can be used to ignite the spray jet of low-reactivity fuel, and its ignition characteristics and heat release law still lack basic research.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to study an integrated and multi-functional experimental device that can conduct optical visualization research on various jet ignition modes to provide theoretical guidance and data support for the design of the pre-chamber structure, the matching of the combustion chamber, and the in-cylinder combustion regulation of the engine.

The direct injection fuel injector 9 is fixed through the pressing table and bolts, and eight heating plates 10 are fixed through four heating plate pressing plates 11. Then, according to different experimental schemes, the active prechamber 6, the passive prechamber 14, the jet flame wall hitting mechanism 15, and the spark plug 7 are selectively installed, which will be Figures 5 - 7 introduced separately. Finally, the quartz glass 2, the glass end cover 3, and the sealing gasket are connected to the body 1 through bolts, and the bolts are tightened with a torque of about 15 - 20 N·m.
[0055] In specific implementation, this device includes three assembly methods.
[0056] Figure 5 This is the structural schematic diagram of the first assembly method provided by an embodiment of this specification. As Figure 5 shown, the first method: the second spark plug 7 is installed on the upper side of the side of the body, and the passive prechamber 14 is installed in the combustion chamber of the body.
[0057] The passive prechamber is installed below the bomb. For the structural schematic diagram, see Figure 5 . Both sides of the passive prechamber are pressed tightly against the quartz glass through the prechamber side sealing surface, and the gap is between 0.1 - 0.2 mm, which can prevent damage due to uneven force when contacting the glass, and also makes the air leakage amount negligible, avoiding interference with the schlieren experiment. The lower end surface is arc-shaped and matches the combustion chamber of the body. The lower end is connected and fixed to the first spark plug 4 through the spark plug threaded hole. The spark plug can be equipped with or without a pressure sensor. The prechamber injection holes are one or more, and can have different diameters, lengths, angles, and shapes. The second spark plug 7 with a pressure sensor is installed above the bomb, and the direct injection fuel injector 9 is installed on the right side.
[0058] This method can be used for research on passive jet ignition, research on the interaction between passive jet and flame front, and research on passive jet ignition of spray jet. The following is a brief experimental process:
[0059] Research on passive jet ignition: After the bomb is tested for airtightness, it is evacuated, and gas fuels (such as methane, propane) and air are filled in sequence according to the partial pressure. After standing for a period of time to mix evenly, or a pre-prepared combustible mixture is filled. When heating, it is necessary to wait for the temperature to stabilize after inflation. After the gas distribution is completed, the first spark plug 4 starts to ignite, and at the same time, the camera is triggered to take pictures and the pressure is measured. A laminar flame is generated in the prechamber cavity, and a jet flame is formed through the prechamber orifice 1401. There may be a certain degree of quenching, and then the mixture in the engine combustion chamber is ignited to complete an experiment. Through the images taken by schlieren, direct flame photography, OH* chemiluminescence, etc., as well as the pressure and combustion heat release rate curves, the ignition and combustion processes are comprehensively analyzed.
[0060] Research on the interaction between passive jet and flame front: After the gas distribution is completed as above, both the first spark plug 4 and the second spark plug 7 perform spark ignition. The ignition sequence and time interval can be adjusted through the ECU or the delay signal generator, so that the jet flame collides with the laminar flame front at the corresponding moment, and the image is taken and the pressure is recorded, and then the flame propagation speed, pressure oscillation, heat release rate, etc. are analyzed.
[0061] Research on passive jet ignition of spray jet: After the gas distribution is completed as above, the first spark plug 4 ignites first, and a jet flame is ejected. After a certain time interval, the direct injection injector 9 injects liquid or gas fuel at high pressure. Generally, it is different from the fuel of the premixed gas and has lower activity, so that the jet flame collides with the spray jet at a certain angle and ignites the spray to form diffusion combustion. The time interval between ignition and fuel injection can be adjusted through the ECU or the delay signal generator, and the image is taken and the pressure is recorded, and then the ignition position, ignition time, flame propagation speed, heat release rate, etc. are analyzed.
[0062] Figure 6 This is the structural schematic diagram of the second assembly method provided by an embodiment of this specification. As Figure 6 shown, the second method: The second spark plug 7 is installed on the upper side of the side of the engine body, and the jet flame hitting-wall mechanism 15 and the passive prechamber 14 are installed in the engine combustion chamber of the engine body.
[0063] The jet flame hitting-wall mechanism 15 is installed in the engine combustion chamber of the bomb. The structural schematic diagram is shown in Figure 6 . During installation, first bolt-connect one or more connecting rods 1502 with the support beam 1501 and the hitting-wall plate 1503 according to needs, then apply high-temperature adhesive on the arc surface of the support beam 1501, and adhesively connect the whole to the combustion chamber of the bomb and adjust it to be horizontal. The hitting-wall plate 1503 can also be rotated by a certain angle to change the hitting-wall angle. The second spark plug 7 with a pressure sensor is installed above the bomb, and the passive prechamber 14 and the first spark plug 4 are installed below. The first spark plug 4 may or may not be equipped with a pressure sensor.
[0064] This method can be used for the research on the ignition of the impinging reactive jet. The following is a brief experimental process:
[0065] Perform gas distribution as described above. The first spark plug 4 starts to ignite. Meanwhile, the camera is triggered to take pictures and the pressure is measured. A jet flame with or without quenching is formed through the pre-chamber nozzle 1401, and then it impinges on the impingement plates 1503 with different distances, angles, and shapes, resulting in flow stagnation, and then igniting the mixture. By taking pictures and recording the pressure curve, the ignition location, heat release rate, etc. can be analyzed.
[0066] Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram of the third assembly method provided in an embodiment of this specification. As Figure 7 shown, the third method: The active pre-chamber 6 is installed on the upper side of the side of the engine block, and the jet flame impingement mechanism 15 and the passive pre-chamber 14 are not installed in the combustion chamber of the engine block.
[0067] The active pre-chamber 6 is installed above the bomb. The schematic structural diagram is shown in Figure 7 . During installation, first fix the adapter 601 to the engine block 1 with a certain torque through threads and gaskets, and then install the third spark plug 603 with or without a pressure sensor. The second direct injection injector 602 is vertically fixed through the pressing platform and bolts. The bolts are vertically screwed into the bolt holes of the injector pressing platform. Connect the cooling water pipe to the cooling water interface 607, which is connected to the cooling water tank 608 to cool the second direct injection injector 602 and the third spark plug 603. Finally, fix the pre-chamber cap 605 to the original spark plug installation hole above the engine block 1 through threads. The jet nozzle 606 is one or more, and can have different diameters, lengths, angles, and shapes. The first spark plug 4 with a pressure sensor is installed below the bomb, and the first direct injection injector 9 is installed on the right side.
[0068] This method can be used for the research on active jet ignition, the research on the interaction between active jet and flame front, and the research on the ignition of spray jet by active jet. The following is a brief experimental process:
[0069] Research on active jet ignition: Perform gas distribution in the main combustion chamber as described above. Then, according to the required fuel-air equivalence ratio or excess air coefficient of the pre-chamber, inject the same or different liquid or gas fuels into the pre-chamber cavity 604 through the second direct injection injector 602 of the active pre-chamber 6. After the injection ends, after a certain time interval, the third spark plug 603 starts to ignite to form a jet flame, which ignites the mixture in the main combustion chamber. After completing one experiment, analyze the images, pressure, and heat release rate.
[0070] Research on the Interaction between Active Jet and Flame Front: As described above, the air distribution in the main combustion chamber is completed. According to the required fuel-air equivalence ratio, fuel is injected and mixed evenly. Then, the third spark plug 603 and the first spark plug 4 with a pressure sensor conduct spark ignition at different times respectively. The ignition sequence and time interval can be adjusted through the ECU or a delay signal generator, so that the jet flame collides with the laminar flame front at the corresponding moment. By taking pictures and recording the pressure curve, the flame propagation speed, pressure oscillation, heat release rate, etc. can be analyzed.
[0071] Research on Active Jet Ignition of Spray Jet: After the combustion bomb is evacuated and filled with air, according to the required fuel-air equivalence ratios of the main combustion chamber and the pre-chamber, fuel is first injected into the active pre-chamber 6 and mixed evenly. Then, the third spark plug 603 ignites to eject a jet flame. After a certain time interval, the first direct injection fuel injector 9 injects liquid or gaseous fuel at high pressure, which is generally different from the fuel injected into the active pre-chamber 6 and has lower activity, so that the jet flame collides with the spray jet at a certain angle and ignites the spray to form diffusion combustion. The time interval between ignition and fuel injection can be adjusted through the ECU or a delay signal generator. After completing image taking and pressure recording, the ignition position, ignition time, flame propagation speed, heat release rate, etc. can be analyzed.
