Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of engine combustion mode control technology, and more specifically, to a jet ignition combustion chamber control method, device, jet ignition combustion chamber, electronic equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Engine combustion mode control ensures engine thermal efficiency and reduces emissions of harmful gases (such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides) caused by incomplete combustion of gasoline. Current gasoline engine combustion processes involve mixing gasoline and air at a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio before combustion. This method results in low thermal efficiency, and traditional spark ignition energy is limited, failing to generate sufficient ignition to significantly increase the excess air coefficient and reduce harmful gas emissions.

[0003] Based on this, engineers have proposed various methods to improve engine combustion efficiency, such as Homogenous Charging Compression Ignition (HCCI), high-energy ignition lean combustion control technology for gasoline engines, and pre-combustion chamber jet ignition technology. Among these, HCCI achieves low-temperature, lean combustion by controlling intake air temperature and employing a premixed, compression ignition combustion method, effectively improving the engine's indicated thermal efficiency. High-energy ignition lean combustion control technology for gasoline engines achieves lean combustion with an excess air coefficient of 1.6 by using a 300–500 MJ (megajoules) high-energy ignition system, improving the engine's indicated thermal efficiency, but significantly increasing nitrogen oxide emissions. Existing pre-combustion chamber jet ignition technology can effectively suppress knocking in gasoline engines and optimize combustion phase, thus improving the engine's indicated thermal efficiency to a certain extent.

[0004] This shows that current engine fuel control modes still have limitations in addressing the issues of low engine thermal efficiency and excessive harmful gas emissions. Summary of the Invention

The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0046] The existing engine combustion mode control technology has the following problems:

[0047] HCCI combustion achieves low-temperature, lean combustion in engines, primarily relying on controlling intake air temperature for compression ignition. However, because intake air temperature is difficult to control precisely, and the sensitivity of compression ignition to intake air temperature increases significantly with engine load, even slight differences in temperature control can lead to substantial variations in the compression ignition timing. Ultimately, this results in the inability to control the combustion initiation point and heat release rate in HCCI combustion. Furthermore, increased load can cause a sharp rise in combustion pressure, leading to uncontrollable and abnormal combustion processes similar to knocking.

[0048] High-energy ignition coils improve the depth of lean combustion to some extent, but due to the limited area and energy of the ignition coil, it is impossible to achieve a deep lean combustion with an excess air coefficient greater than 2, which limits the improvement of indicated thermal efficiency and results in higher NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions.

[0049] Existing lean combustion technology for gasoline engines does not combine combustion chamber structure design with combustion mode control technology, thus failing to realize the potential to further improve indicated thermal efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions.

[0050] Please refer to the following first. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a jet ignition combustion chamber according to this application. In this embodiment, the jet ignition combustion chamber is installed in the engine of a vehicle. The jet ignition combustion chamber includes: an intake pipe 1, a throttle valve 2, an intake valve 3, a pre-combustion chamber assembly 5, an exhaust valve 6, an exhaust pipe 7, a catalytic converter 8, a main combustion chamber 9, a piston 10, a cylinder block 11, a connecting rod 12, a fuel injector 13, and a cylinder head 14.

[0051] Specifically, the piston 10 inside the cylinder block 11 is movable. One end of the piston 10 is connected to the connecting rod 12. When the piston 10 is pushed, it can provide power to the vehicle through the connecting rod 12. The other end of the piston 10 forms the main combustion chamber 9 between itself and the cylinder head 14. When the fuel in the main combustion chamber 9 burns, the high pressure generated will push the piston 10, thereby providing power through the connecting rod.

[0052] The cylinder head 14 is connected to the intake valve 3 and the exhaust valve 6 respectively. The exhaust valve 6 is connected to the exhaust pipe 7, and the intake valve 3 is connected to the intake pipe 1. When the intake valve 3 is open, air flows through the intake pipe 1 and enters the main combustion chamber 9 through the intake valve 3. The exhaust gas generated in the main combustion chamber 9 is discharged through the exhaust valve 6 and the exhaust pipe 7.

[0053] Furthermore, the intake pipe 1 is also equipped with a throttle valve 2, which can adjust the airflow rate entering the main combustion chamber 9. The exhaust pipe 8 is equipped with a catalytic converter 8, and the exhaust gas enters the catalytic converter 8 for treatment, such as converting some harmful gases into harmless gases (converting the three harmful gases CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), and NOx in the exhaust into harmless gases carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, and water), so as to reduce the content of harmful gases in the exhaust gas.

[0054] In addition, the cylinder head is connected to the fuel injector 13, through which fuel can enter the main combustion chamber 9, and based on this, air and fuel can be burned in the main combustion chamber 9.

[0055] The jet ignition combustion chamber in this embodiment also includes a pre-combustion chamber assembly 5, such as Figure 1 The entire pre-combustion chamber assembly is located at the center of the top of cylinder 14. A structural schematic diagram of this pre-combustion chamber assembly 5 can be found here. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a front view of the pre-combustion chamber assembly 5, which includes a single-hole injector 15, a spark plug 16, a center electrode 17, a pre-combustion chamber 19, and a jet nozzle (front view) 20.

[0056] One end of the pre-combustion chamber 19 extends into the main combustion chamber 9, and the end extending into the main combustion chamber is provided with a jet nozzle 20. The main combustion chamber and the pre-combustion chamber are connected through the jet nozzle 20.

[0057] One end of the spark plug 16 extends into the pre-combustion chamber 19, and the end extending into the pre-combustion chamber 19 is provided with a center electrode 17. One end of the single-hole injector 15 also extends into the pre-combustion chamber 19, and can spray oil into the pre-combustion chamber through the single-hole injector 15 to form an oil jet 18.

[0058] The single-hole injector 15 and the center electrode 17 are close to each other in the pre-combustion chamber 19, so that the fuel jet 18 can be ignited through the center electrode 17 on the spark plug 16.

[0059] In this embodiment, when combustion occurs in the pre-combustion chamber 19, the following will be produced: Figure 1 The high-temperature jet 4 shown enters the main combustion chamber 9.

[0060] Figure 2 The number of jet nozzles 20 is multiple. In one specific embodiment, the number of jet nozzles 20 is 4 to 10, and the jet nozzles 20 are evenly distributed, such as... Figure 3The jet nozzle 20 is shown in top view.

[0061] Preferably, the included angle of the high-temperature jet 4 ejected from each jet nozzle 20 is 90° to 120°, that is, the included angle of the orifice axis of each jet nozzle 20 is 90° to 120°, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, the volume of the pre-combustion chamber accounts for 1.5% to 3% of the volume of the main combustion chamber. The spark plug on the pre-combustion chamber is connected to the pre-combustion chamber by a thread with a diameter of 8 to 10 mm. The breakdown voltage of the spark plug is ≥20 kV. The injection pressure of the single-hole injector on the pre-combustion chamber is 8 to 10 MPa. The flow rate of the single-hole injector is ≤1 g / s @ 10 MPa-n-heptane. The circulating injection amount is 0.2 to 1 mg.

[0063] The engine displacement of the main combustion chamber is 1-2L, the volume of the main combustion chamber is 22-33ml, the compression ratio is 16-18, the stroke-to-bore ratio is 1.3-1.5, the surface-to-volume ratio is less than 0.4mm-1, the fuel injector of the main combustion chamber is a direct injection injector, the pressure is ≥350MPa, and the fuel injector flow rate is 4-15g / s@10MPa-n-heptane.

[0064] The spark plug in the pre-combustion chamber controls the ignition timing, indirectly controlling the cylinder pressure and temperature in the main combustion chamber within the ignition time window, thereby determining the mass fraction and time of auto-ignition of the air-fuel mixture in the main combustion chamber. Specifically, in this embodiment, the vehicle also includes a controller ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) The controller can control the ignition time of the spark plug. When the excess air coefficient in the pre-combustion chamber is maintained at 0.9 to 1.1, the spark plug ignition can be controlled.

[0065] The controller can also control the throttle valve, intake valve, and exhaust pipe to release gas, as well as control the fuel injectors and single-hole fuel injectors to inject fuel.

[0066] In one specific embodiment, the throttle valve and intake valve are open, air enters the main combustion chamber, and enters the pre-combustion chamber through the jet nozzle. At this time, the controller can receive the excess air coefficient in the pre-combustion chamber. This excess air coefficient can be measured by sensors or other devices. However, when the controller confirms that the excess air coefficient in the pre-combustion chamber reaches 0.9 to 1.1, the air-fuel mixture at this concentration is easy to ignite. That is, the controller controls the single-hole injector to inject fuel and controls the spark plug to ignite.

[0067] After spark plug ignition, the air-fuel mixture within the pre-combustion chamber boundary propagates via flame propagation, producing high-temperature combustion products. However, since the pre-combustion chamber volume only accounts for 1.5% to 3% of the main combustion chamber volume, the flame impacts the pre-combustion chamber boundary, creating a quenching effect and generating a large number of combustion free radicals. At this time, the combustion products and combustion free radicals (high-temperature jet) within the pre-combustion chamber are rapidly extinguished due to the rapid increase in pre-combustion chamber pressure. (See reference for details.) Figure 5 The diagram showing the relationship between crankshaft rotation angle and pressure indicates that, based on this pressure, a high-temperature jet containing free radicals and combustion products will be ejected from the jet nozzle on the pre-combustion chamber. This high-temperature jet will uniformly penetrate the entire main combustion chamber, thereby igniting the mixture in the main combustion chamber and forming a flame propagation.

[0068] Due to the enormous ignition energy brought by the high-temperature jet, the main combustion chamber can achieve an ultra-lean mixture with an excess air coefficient controlled to 2.6-3 or higher. The uniformly distributed high-temperature jet accelerates the flame propagation speed, burning a large amount of mixture in a very short time. For details, please refer to... Figure 6 The diagram showing crankshaft angle and heat release efficiency illustrates the flame propagation heat release peak. However, the volume of the main combustion chamber does not change significantly at this time, resulting in a near-isovolumic combustion heat release process. This leads to the flame propagation heat release peak within the main combustion chamber, as shown in the diagram. Figure 6 The partial auto-ignition heat release peak shown further accelerates the combustion process in the cylinder, further increases the heat release rate, and further improves the combustion isochoricity. Ultimately, it achieves a combined combustion process of jet ignition and auto-ignition of the mixture under ultra-lean mixture, effectively improving the engine's indicated thermal efficiency.

[0069] Throughout the combustion process, the excess air coefficient in the pre-combustion chamber is 0.9–1.1, while the excess air coefficient in the main combustion chamber is 2.6–3.0, resulting in stratified combustion of the mixture with the pre-combustion chamber boundary as the envelope. Simultaneously, due to the excess air coefficient of 2.6–3.0 in the main combustion chamber, the maximum combustion temperature is only 1400K–1600K, effectively suppressing NOx pollutant formation. Furthermore, since engine CO emissions depend on oxygen concentration, a higher excess air coefficient leads to a significant reduction in CO emissions compared to conventional engines.

[0070] based on Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment proposes a jet ignition combustion chamber control method, which is applied to the controller and can be referred to... Figure 7 The method includes steps S710 to S730, in one specific embodiment:

[0071] Step S710: Obtain the excess air coefficient of the pre-combustion chamber.

[0072] In this embodiment, when vehicle ignition is required, the throttle valve and intake valve of the jet ignition combustion chamber can be opened to allow air to enter the main combustion chamber and pre-combustion chamber. At this time, the controller will detect the excess air coefficient of the pre-combustion chamber. When the excess air coefficient of the pre-combustion chamber reaches a preset threshold, ignition operation can be performed.

[0073] Step S730: If the excess air coefficient reaches the preset threshold, control the spark plug to ignite so that the high-temperature jet generated in the pre-combustion chamber enters the main combustion chamber through the jet nozzle and causes multi-point auto-ignition in the main combustion chamber.

[0074] In this embodiment, the preset threshold is 0.9 to 1.1. When the excess air coefficient of the pre-combustion chamber is detected to reach 0.9 to 1.1, the spark plug can be controlled to ignite.

[0075] At the ignition time in the pre-combustion chamber, the crankshaft angle of the engine is 30°CA to 0°CA before top dead center. The mass fraction of the air-fuel mixture that is propagated and burned by the ignition flame in the pre-combustion chamber is 40% to 60%, and the mass fraction of the auto-ignition mixture is 40% to 60%.

[0076] The high-temperature jet generated by combustion in the pre-combustion chamber causes a rapid increase in pressure within the chamber, which in turn propels the jet into the main combustion chamber through the jet nozzles. Due to the enormous ignition energy brought by the high-temperature jet, the excess air coefficient in the main combustion chamber is controlled between 2.6 and 3. The high-temperature jet causes a sharp increase in temperature and pressure in the main combustion chamber. Simultaneously, the main combustion chamber structure, which is matched with a small aspect ratio, long stroke bore ratio, and compression ratio, allows the unburned mixture in the main combustion chamber to undergo multi-point auto-ignition under the radiation of this high temperature and high pressure, resulting in deep lean combustion in the main combustion chamber.

[0077] Measurements showed that the engine's indicated thermal efficiency was ≥50%, while the maximum combustion temperature in the main combustion chamber was controlled between 1400K and 1600K. Engine NOx emissions were controlled below 50ppm (concentration unit), and engine CO emissions were controlled below 100ppm. This demonstrates that the jet ignition combustion chamber control method proposed in this case, which achieves deep lean combustion through pre-combustion chamber jet ignition and improves the working fluid polyvariance index, can enhance engine thermal efficiency. Deep lean combustion also lowers the maximum combustion temperature, reduces NOx emissions, and the high excess air coefficient is beneficial for reducing CO emissions. This achieves the controllable application of deep lean combustion in gasoline engines and reduces pollutant emissions.

[0078] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a jet ignition combustion chamber control device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the jet ignition combustion chamber control device includes:

[0079] The excess air coefficient acquisition module 810 is configured to acquire the excess air coefficient of the pre-combustion chamber.

[0080] The combustion control module 830 is configured to control the spark plug to ignite if the excess air coefficient reaches a preset threshold, so that the high-temperature jet generated in the pre-combustion chamber enters the main combustion chamber through the jet nozzle and causes multi-point auto-ignition in the main combustion chamber.
