Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention designs a hydrogen-oxygen rotor engine and a control method based on active pre-combustion chamber hydrogen direct injection, and specifically relates to a control method for adjusting the combustion mode of the hydrogen-oxygen rotor engine according to the power conditions required by the hydrogen-oxygen rotor engine, and belongs to the field of internal combustion engines. Technical Background

[0002] Hydrogen energy is a secondary energy source, a clean energy source with huge development potential. Hydrogen internal combustion engines can take advantage of clean and renewable energy, and can also utilize the mature internal combustion engine industrial system that has been established, with the advantage of low cost. Compared with natural gas, gasoline, diesel and other fuels, hydrogen fuel has a wider combustion limit, lower ignition energy, higher combustion speed, less pollutant emissions and a larger diffusion coefficient. The combustion characteristics of hydrogen make the hydrogen internal combustion engine cycle close to the ideal thermodynamic cycle.

[0003] The rotor of the rotor engine is different from the reciprocating piston engine. The rotor of the rotor engine bears the combustion pressure and makes the eccentric shaft output torque. The rotor performs unidirectional rotation. The rotor engine is small in size and light in weight. It does not require a connecting rod or a valve mechanism. It has a simpler structure and a high power density. It does not need to bear excessive inertia force. The torque is more uniform, the rotation is smoother, and the vibration is smaller. Its high power density makes the rotor engine have a good development prospect in the aerospace field. However, its narrow and long combustion chamber structure is not conducive to flame propagation, resulting in poor combustion performance, unsatisfactory combustion efficiency, and easy to produce combustion dead zones.

[0004] As a technology to improve fuel economy and exhaust emissions, the jet diffusion ignition system has gradually attracted the attention of scholars, and some studies have applied it to triangular rotor engines. Compared with spark plug ignition, the pilot flame ignition system has a large ignition energy release, a large flame contact area with the mixture, and a long flame contact time. Therefore, the pilot flame ignition system is expected to provide a powerful and reliable ignition source. At the same time, in view of the dead zone combustion problem of the triangular rotor engine, unlike the premixed mixture combustion, the appropriate adjustment of the jet system can control the fuel in the rotor pit, and there is no fuel in the slit, so the combustion process occurs entirely in the large rotor pit, effectively solving the problem of poor flame propagation and low combustion efficiency. In addition, by controlling the amount of fuel injected before and after ignition, the ratio of stratified combustion and diffusion combustion can be controlled, which provides feasibility for controlling its power and efficiency characteristics.

[0005] Hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engines that use pure hydrogen as fuel and pure oxygen as oxidant are widely used in the field of aerospace propulsion, and have performed well in manned lunar landings, deep space exploration, and space orbit change missions. Internal combustion engines on the ground mostly use air as the source of oxidant, and the proportion of oxygen in it is much lower than the proportion of oxygen in pure oxygen. Therefore, the combustion process of hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engines is more intense than hydrogen-air combustion, and will erupt in a high cylinder pressure and temperature in a short period of time. At the same time, unlike the ground environment, the ambient temperature in aerospace missions can be as low as -100°C, and the internal combustion engine needs to be reasonably controlled to meet its rapid start-up requirements.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention designs a hydrogen-oxygen rotor machine and control method based on active pre-combustion chamber hydrogen direct injection. The jet diffusion ignition technology is combined with the hydrogen-oxygen rotor machine, and the appropriate excess oxygen coefficient is set for the starting condition and the working condition, and different in-cylinder combustion processes are organized through the in-cylinder hydrogen injection strategy to meet different power requirements.

The ECU (E) inputs a signal (g) to the hydrogen nozzle (9) to control its injection amount and control its fuel injection ratio to 50% before the ignition moment and 50% after the ignition moment. The ratio of stratified combustion in the cylinder is equal to that of diffusion combustion, and the combustion intensity in the cylinder is controlled to be at a medium level.

The stratified combustion is dominant in the cylinder, and the combustion intensity in the cylinder is controlled to be at a high level.

[0016] When n≠0 changes to n=0, the hydrogen-oxygen rotor machine is turned off, the ECU (E) inputs a signal () to the electromagnetic pressure valve () to control it to close, and the ECU (E) inputs a signal (g) to the hydrogen nozzle (9) to stop the hydrogen supply;
