Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an ignition structure, an engine, an ignition method, a fuel supply method, a computer-readable storage medium and a computer program product. Background Art

[0002] Multi-fuel engines, such as dual-fuel engines using diesel, have important application value in many scenarios, such as methanol and ammonia fuels, which are important in the low-carbon and zero-carbon strategy, and natural gas, which is already a conventional fuel, under extremely dilute conditions and with a concentration below 8%. Due to its low fuel chemical activity, it often needs to be used in combination with diesel. In addition to ignition, diesel can also control and optimize the combustion process to make the engine perform better.

[0003] Among the existing technical routes, one technical route is the diesel ignition route. Under the diesel ignition route, if the combustion system adopts the solution of direct micro-injection ignition of diesel in the cylinder, it has the disadvantages of a long ignition delay period, insufficient ignition energy and stability.

[0004] Another technical route is the pre-combustion chamber system technical route, which is to inject diesel in a relatively independent small space. The calorific value of diesel is limited by the size of the pre-combustion chamber, and the subsequent ignition combustion cannot be controlled. Therefore, the stability of the engine against external disturbances is insufficient. Therefore, the engine is limited by the leanness of the combustion and the adaptability to the chemical activity of the fuel.

[0005] In addition, on some low-speed engines with large cylinder diameters of more than 400mm, there are both pre-combustion chamber ignition injectors and in-cylinder main injectors. Therefore, high-energy ignition of small amounts of fuel can be achieved through the pre-combustion chamber injectors, and the organization and control of in-cylinder combustion can be achieved through the main injectors. However, this solution is difficult to apply to small and medium-sized engines because it requires a lot of space in the cylinder head.

[0006] Therefore, the art needs an ignition structure, an engine, an ignition method and a fuel supply method to solve at least one of the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0042] Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings and described below. Although the present invention will be described in conjunction with the exemplary embodiments, it should be appreciated that this specification is not intended to limit the present invention to those exemplary embodiments. On the contrary, the present invention is intended to cover not only these exemplary embodiments, but also various alternative forms, modifications, equivalent forms and other embodiments that may be included within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

[0043] In the following description, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by "inside", "outside", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom" or other orientation terms is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0044] At the same time, the present application uses specific words to describe the embodiments of the present application. For example, "some embodiments" means a certain feature, structure or characteristic related to at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, it should be emphasized and noted that "some embodiments" mentioned twice or multiple times in different locations in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, some features, structures or characteristics of some embodiments of the present application can be appropriately combined.

[0045] The present application provides an engine, including an ignition structure to be described in detail in the following embodiments, the engine can at least inject a first fuel and a second fuel, the fuel chemical activity of the first fuel being greater than that of the second fuel. Specifically, as described above, the first fuel can be diesel fuel as an example, and the second fuel can include methanol fuel, ammonia fuel, and low-concentration gas with a methane concentration of less than 8% as an example. In the following description, the first fuel is referred to as diesel.

[0046] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ignition structure includes a fuel injector 1 and a pre-combustion chamber 2. The pre-combustion chamber 2 is designed to be embedded in the cylinder head 5, and the cylinder head 5 and the fuel injector 1 are positioned and sealed by a sealing surface 4, and the pre-combustion chamber 2 and the main combustion chamber 200 are connected through a channel 12. The fuel injector 1 is installed on the cylinder head 2.

[0047] The meaning of the main combustion chamber 200 is similar to that of the "combustion chamber" in the art, that is, the space defined by the cylinder head, the cylinder and the top of the piston.

[0048] Axially adjacent first injection holes 110 and second injection holes 111 are distributed in the axial direction of the fuel injector 1 .

[0049] The first injection hole 110 is disposed in an injection direction corresponding to the pre-combustion chamber 2 , and can inject a first fuel flow of the first fuel into the pre-combustion chamber 2 .

[0050] In some embodiments, a specific structure may be that the first injection hole 110 is located on a side wall of the fuel injector 1 , and the first injection hole 110 is fluidically connected to the pre-combustion chamber 2 located on the side thereof.

[0051] The second injection hole 111 is disposed in an injection direction corresponding to the main combustion chamber 200, and can inject a second fuel flow of the first fuel into the main combustion chamber.

[0052] The first fuel flow is generally used for pilot combustion, and the second fuel flow is generally injected into the main combustion chamber 200 , so the first fuel flow here is the pilot diesel 11 , and the second fuel flow here is the main injection fuel 13 .

[0053] During operation, the fuel injector can inject the main fuel 13 and the pilot diesel 11, and the injection start point and injection pulse width control of the two are independent of each other.

[0054] After the pilot diesel 11 ignites in the pre-combustion chamber 2, the flame enters the main combustion chamber 200 from the channel 12 to generate a jet flame 14. The jet flame 14 has strong ignition energy, which is beneficial to the ignition and combustion of the premixed low-activity, low-concentration mixture in the main combustion chamber 200.

[0055] The directions of the jet flame 14 and the main diesel injection 13 should take into account the direction of the large-scale vortex 3 in the cylinder, so that the two directions are consistent, and the flame development speed in the cylinder is promoted to the greatest extent. That is, the injection direction of the second injection hole 111 is the first direction, the direction of the jet flame 14 constructed by the injection direction of the channel 12 and the first injection hole 110 is the second direction, and the flow direction of the vortex 3 in the main combustion chamber is the third direction, and the direction of the components of the first direction and the second direction in the third direction should be consistent with the third direction. For example, if the flow direction of the vortex 3 is counterclockwise, the components of the first direction and the second direction in the circumferential direction are also counterclockwise, rather than the opposite clockwise.

[0056] In some embodiments, the second injection hole 111 is configured to inject twice in one working cycle. The first injection is a pre-injection, and the injection time is 90°-120° before the top dead center of combustion, which enriches the low-concentration / low-activity mixture in the cylinder to a certain extent and improves the activity; the second injection is a main injection, and the injection time is after the combustion starts in the main combustion chamber. The high-speed diesel spray can promote combustion to a certain extent. The interval and injection amount ratio between the two can reasonably control the combustion process.

[0057] Continue to refer Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the integrated multi-dimensional injector structure adopts a dual solenoid valve combined with a high-pressure common rail fuel supply architecture, and the fuel injector 1 further includes: a first needle valve pair 107 matching the first injection hole 110, a first pilot oil circuit 109 and a first pilot valve 101, and a first solenoid valve 102 driving the first pilot valve 101; a second needle valve pair 106 matching the second injection hole 111, a second pilot oil circuit 105 and a second pilot valve 104, and a second solenoid valve 103 driving the second pilot valve 104. In some embodiments, the pilot valve can be a ball valve, but is not limited thereto.

[0058] During the operation of the injector 1, the diesel and pilot oil build up pressure independently to prepare for injection. Specifically, the pilot oil pressure acts on the top of the needle valve, and the force direction is the needle valve closing direction (downward); the high-pressure diesel acts on the bottom of the needle valve, and the force direction is the needle valve opening direction (upward).

[0059] During operation, the first pilot valve 101 and the second pilot valve 104 act as switch valve components to control the pressure of the high-pressure control chamber. After the corresponding first solenoid valve 102 and the second solenoid valve 103 are energized, the first pilot valve 101 and the second pilot valve 104 can be opened, and the corresponding cavity pressures of the first pilot oil circuit 109 and the second pilot oil circuit 105 decrease. At this time, under the action of high-pressure diesel, the spring force of the corresponding first pilot oil circuit 109 and the second pilot oil circuit 105 and the needle valve spring 108 are overcome, so that the corresponding first needle valve pair 107 and the second needle valve pair 106 are opened, and the high-pressure diesel starts to spray, so that the corresponding first injection hole and the second injection hole spray the first fuel flow and the second fuel flow.

[0060] On the contrary, when the first pilot valve 101 and the second pilot valve 104 are closed, the first pilot oil circuit 109 and the second pilot oil circuit 105 accumulate pressure again, and the pressure increases. At this time, the control chamber pressure is greater than the high-pressure diesel pressure, and under the joint action of the downward spring force of the needle valve spring 108, the corresponding first needle valve pair 107 and the second needle valve pair 106 are closed.

[0061] It can be understood that it should be noted that the basic principles of the main fuel injection 13 and the pilot diesel injection 11 are similar, so they are described uniformly. In the actual working process, the two are independently controlled in time and space dimensions without interfering with each other.

[0062] refer to Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the present application also provides an ignition method, which is used for the engine introduced in the above embodiment, and the ignition method comprises the following steps:

[0066] The upper limit of the flow rate of the first fuel flow does not exceed 2% of the total fuel calorific value of the second fuel flow and the second fuel injected in the working cycle, and the lower limit of the flow rate of the first fuel flow is the feedforward first fuel flow rate.
