[0050] During installation, the injector body cap 700 sequentially installs the needle valve component 500, the control valve seat 400 and the orifice plate 300 on the lower end of the injector body 100 from bottom to top, the internal thread 710 on the upper end of the injector body cap 700 is aligned with the external thread 190a of the injector body 100, the upper end of the straight hole 310 on the orifice plate 300 is aligned with the lower end of the oil outlet inclined hole 140 in the injector body 100 and connected, and the ceramic ball 290g is pressed into the inner chamfer 330 of the orifice plate 300; the upper end of the inclined hole 440 of the control valve seat 400 is aligned with the upper end of the straight hole 310 on the orifice plate 300 and connected with the lower end of the oil outlet inclined hole 140 in the injector body 100.

By designing the minimum aperture of the straight hole 410 and the small holes 420 and 430, the control valve seat 400 can realize that when the ceramic ball 290g is opened, the liquid pressure in the needle valve component control chamber 560 decreases.

[0051] The methanol enters the oil storage chamber 120 through the oil inlet joint 610 and the inner hole 621 of the throttle plug 620, flows into the straight hole 310 of the orifice plate 300 through the oil outlet inclined hole 130, the oil outlet inclined hole 140 in the injector body 100, the oil channel hole 266, and the oil channel hole 267 in the solenoid valve seat 260, and then enters the straight hole 410, the small holes 420, 430 and the straight hole 320 in the control valve seat 400 through the end surface groove 320 and the end surface groove 340 on the orifice plate 300, and then flows into the needle valve component control chamber 560 through the inclined hole 440, the straight hole 410 and the small holes 420, 430 in the control valve seat 400 to fill the entire needle valve component 500.

[0052] The working principle of the methanol direct injection injector of the present invention is:

[0053] When the connector wire 210 is energized, the electromagnet 230 generates an electromagnetic force, which acts on the armature 250, causing the armature 250 to move upward. The armature 250 drives the armature rod 240 to move upward by overcoming the spring force of the pressure-adjusting spring 290a. The ball seat 290f and the ceramic ball 290g lose the pressure of the armature rod 240. Under the pressure of the methanol liquid, the sealing contact surface between the ceramic ball 290g and the inner chamfer 330 of the orifice plate 300 is opened, and part of the methanol flows back from the gap between the ceramic ball 290g and the inner chamfer 330 of the orifice plate 300 to the armature rod through hole 265, and then flows back to the oil return hole through the armature rod through hole 265 and the three through grooves 252a of the armature 250.

[0054] After the sealing contact surface between the ceramic ball 290g and the inner chamfer 330 of the orifice plate 300 is opened, the straight hole 410 and the small holes 420 and 430 on the control valve seat 400 have different apertures, and the outflow rate of methanol in the needle valve component control cavity 560 through the orifice plate 300 is greater than the inflow rate of methanol, causing the pressure in the needle valve component control cavity 560 to drop. The needle valve 520 is subjected to a methanol liquid pressure greater than the spring force of the spring 540, and the needle valve 520 moves upward, so that the sealing position between the conical surface 521 of the needle valve 520 and the inner conical surface 510e of the needle valve body 510 is opened, and methanol is ejected through the small hole 510f at the front end of the needle valve body 510;

[0055] When the electromagnet 230 is powered off, the armature 250 is no longer subjected to the electromagnetic force, and the armature rod 240 is pressed downward by the spring force of the pressure regulating spring 290a, so that the ball seat 290f and the ceramic ball 290g move downward, and the sealing contact surface of the ceramic ball 290g and the inner chamfer 330 of the orifice plate 300 are resealed. After the sealing contact surface of the ceramic ball 290g and the inner chamfer 330 of the orifice plate 300 are resealed, the methanol pressure in the needle valve component control chamber 560 rises, so that the needle valve 520 loses the force generated by the liquid pressure difference. Under the pressure of the spring 540, the needle valve 520 reseals the conical surface 521 of the needle valve 520 with the inner conical surface 510e of the needle valve body 510, and the injection ends;

[0056] The methanol direct injection injector of the present invention controls the opening and closing of the ceramic ball 290g and the inner chamfer 330 of the orifice plate 300 by the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet 230 to control the methanol liquid pressure in the needle valve component control chamber 560, so that the injection pressure of the methanol direct injection injector of the present invention can reach 200-1200bar. At the same time, stainless steel materials and special heat treatment processes or coatings are used for various parts to enable the injector to obtain excellent alcohol resistance. The matching clearance of each pair of the electromagnetic component 200 and the needle valve component 500 is adjusted to avoid various wear or jamming problems caused by poor lubricity of the methanol medium.
