[0042] like Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a fuel injector, which includes: an injector body, a valve sleeve 4, a sealing assembly, an electromagnet assembly 5, a needle valve 6, a valve core 7 and a control mechanism. The injector body is provided with a first fuel cavity 1 along a first direction. The injector body includes an injection body 2 and a valve body 3. The injection body 2 is fixedly connected to the valve body 3. The injection body 2 is provided with a first fuel inlet 201. The valve body 3 is provided with a first fuel spray hole 301. The first fuel inlet 201 and the first fuel spray hole 301 are both connected to the first fuel cavity 1. The valve sleeve 4 is provided with a control cavity 41, a first oil outlet channel and a first oil inlet channel. The first oil inlet channel is connected to the first fuel cavity 1 and the control cavity 41. The first oil outlet channel is connected to the control cavity 41 and the first fuel cavity 1. The electromagnet assembly 5 is configured to drive the sealing assembly to move so that the sealing assembly The component can open or close the first oil outlet channel, the needle valve 6 is arranged in the first fuel chamber 1, and one end of the needle valve 6 slides with the control chamber 41 along the first direction, the other end of the needle valve 6 is used to close the first fuel spray hole 301 and form a conical sealing pair, the valve body 3 is provided with a cavity and a second fuel spray hole 302, one end of the valve core 7 slides with the inner wall of the cavity to separate the cavity into a pressure regulating chamber 8 and an injection chamber 9, the injection body 2 is also provided with a second fuel inlet 202, a control oil inlet 203, a control oil outlet 204 and an oil outlet 26, the control oil inlet 203 and the control oil outlet 204 are both connected to the pressure regulating chamber 8, the injection chamber 9 is connected to the second fuel inlet 202 and the second fuel spray hole 302, the other end of the valve core 7 is used to close the second fuel spray hole 302, and the oil outlet 26 is connected to the first fuel chamber 1. In this arrangement, the first fuel enters the first fuel chamber 1 from the first fuel inlet 201, and the needle valve 6 closes the first fuel spray hole 301 under the action of the oil pressure in the control chamber 41; when the electromagnet assembly 5 is energized, it drives the sealing assembly to open the first oil outlet passage, at which time the oil pressure in the control chamber 41 drops, and the needle valve 6 opens the first fuel spray hole 301 under the action of the oil pressure in the first fuel chamber 1, and the first fuel enters the combustion chamber through the first fuel spray hole 301 on the valve body 3; when the electromagnet assembly 5 is de-energized, it drives the sealing assembly to close the first oil outlet passage, and at this time the needle valve 6 closes the first fuel spray hole 301 under the action of the oil pressure in the control chamber 41, thereby ending the injection.

[0043] The second fuel enters the injection chamber 9 from the second fuel inlet 202, and the control oil enters the pressure regulating chamber 8 through the control oil inlet 203. The control oil pressure is slightly higher than the second fuel pressure. The valve core 7 closes the second fuel spray hole 302 under the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8, and completes the injection by adjusting the oil inlet and oil outlet in the pressure regulating chamber 8. When the oil inlet is less than the oil outlet, the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 drops, and the valve core 7 opens the second fuel spray hole 302 under the oil pressure in the injection chamber 9, and the second fuel enters the combustion chamber through the second fuel spray hole 302 on the valve body 3. It can realize the independent control and injection of two different fuels, that is, the injection pressure, injection timing, and injection amount of the two fuels are independently and accurately controllable, effectively improving the economy, power, and emission performance of the engine.

[0044] Furthermore, the first fuel is a compression ignition fuel such as diesel, and the second fuel is a low-carbon or zero-carbon fuel such as methane, methanol, and hydrogen. It should be noted that the number and diameter of the first fuel nozzle 301 and the second fuel nozzle 302 can be reasonably set according to the actual needs of the engine to adaptively adjust the injection cross-sectional area of ​​the two fuels. In order to achieve a better combustion organization, the number of the first fuel nozzle 301 and the second fuel nozzle 302 is generally equal, and the first direction and the second direction are respectively as follows: Figure 1 The two arrows in the diagram indicate the direction.

[0045] In this embodiment, the valve core 7 is annular, and the outer cylindrical surface and the inner cylindrical surface of the valve core 7 form close mating surfaces with the cylindrical surface of the valve body 3 respectively, and the radial clearance is 0.004mm-0.006mm.

[0046] Specifically, the following scheme is exemplified in this embodiment: the fuel injector further includes a transition block 10, an orifice plate 11, a sealing valve 12, a first elastic member 13, a second elastic member 14, a driving assembly and a first fastener 24, the injection body 2, the transition block 10 and the orifice plate 11 are sequentially connected along a first direction through the first fastener 24, the orifice plate 11 is provided with a second oil inlet passage 111 and a second oil outlet passage 112, the second oil inlet passage 111 is connected to the control oil inlet 203 and the pressure regulating chamber 8, the transition block 10 is provided with a first oil outlet chamber and a transition port, and the second oil outlet passage 112 is provided. 12 connects the pressure regulating chamber 8 with the first oil outlet chamber, the inner diameter of the second oil inlet passage 111 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second oil outlet passage 112, the injection body 2 is provided with a second oil outlet chamber, the control oil outlet 204 connects the second oil outlet chamber, the transition port connects the first oil outlet chamber with the second oil outlet chamber, the sealing valve 12 is arranged in the first oil outlet chamber, the first elastic member 13 is configured to always have a tendency to drive the sealing valve 12 to move to the closed transition port position, the driving assembly is arranged in the second oil outlet chamber, and the driving assembly can drive the sealing valve 12 to move so that the sealing valve 12 can open the transition port. The second elastic member 14 is arranged in the pressure regulating chamber 8, and the second elastic member 14 is configured to always have a tendency to drive the valve core 7 to move to the closed second fuel injection hole 302 position. Specifically, the first elastic member 13 and the second elastic member 14 are both compression springs.

[0047] In this arrangement, the valve core 7 closes the second fuel spray hole 302 under the action of the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 and the preload force of the second elastic member 14, and the start-up drive assembly drives the sealing valve 12 to move to open the transition port. At this time, the control oil in the pressure regulating chamber 8 can enter the control oil outlet 204 through the second oil outlet channel 112 and return to the low-pressure oil circuit to the oil tank. Since the flow rate of the second oil inlet channel 111 is less than the flow rate of the second oil outlet channel 112, when the transition port is opened, the inflow of the control oil in the pressure regulating chamber 8 is less than the outflow, and the pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 is reduced. When the pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 is reduced to a certain level, the valve core 7 overcomes the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 and the preload force of the second elastic member 14 under the action of the oil pressure in the injection chamber 9, and then opens the second fuel spray hole 302 to achieve injection.

[0048] Optionally, in order to ensure that the direction of the elastic force of the second elastic member 14 is stable and to prevent the second elastic member 14 from tilting during elastic deformation to a certain extent, the fuel injector also includes a support seat 15, the support seat 15 includes a sliding portion 151 and a protruding portion 152 connected in sequence, the sliding portion 151 is placed in the pressure regulating chamber 8, and is slidably sleeved on the valve body 3, the protruding portion 152 abuts against the valve core 7, the second elastic member 14 is sleeved on the sliding portion 151, and the two ends of the second elastic member 14 abut against the orifice plate 11 and the protruding portion 152 respectively.

[0049] It should be noted that by adjusting the total height of the support seat 15, the movement distance of the valve core 7 along the first direction can be adjusted, that is, the movement stroke of the valve core 7 can be adjusted, and by adjusting the height of the protrusion 152, the preload force of the valve core 7 in the initial state can be adjusted.

[0050] In this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a piezoelectric crystal 16, a mounting seat 17, a third elastic member 18 and a transmission block 19. The mounting seat 17 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the second oil outlet cavity. The piezoelectric crystal 16 is disposed in the second oil outlet cavity and is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 17. The two ends of the third elastic member 18 are respectively abutted against the transmission block 19 and the transition block 10, so that the transmission block 19 and the sealing valve 12 are spaced apart in the first direction. The piezoelectric crystal 16 is configured to drive the transmission block 19 to abut against the sealing valve 12 to open the transition port. Specifically, the third elastic member 18 is a disc spring. In this arrangement, the piezoelectric crystal 16 indirectly controls the injection of the second fuel by controlling the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8. When a certain voltage is applied to the piezoelectric crystal 16, the piezoelectric crystal 16 produces a certain longitudinal deformation, pushing the transmission block 19 to overcome the force of the third elastic member 18 and move along the first direction. When the transmission block 19 contacts the sealing valve 12, it pushes the sealing valve 12 to move along the first direction, and the transition port is opened. At this time, the control oil in the pressure regulating chamber 8 begins to flow out through the second oil outlet 112, thereby realizing subsequent regulation of the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 to complete the injection of the second fuel.

[0051] When the piezoelectric crystal 16 is powered off, the piezoelectric crystal 16 is separated from the transmission block 19 and the sealing valve 12 under the action of the third elastic member 18. The sealing valve 12 moves in the second direction under the action of the oil pressure in the first oil outlet chamber and the preload force of the first elastic member 13, and contacts with the conical surface of the inner hole of the transition block 10 to form a sealing pair, thereby closing the transition port. At this time, the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 is rapidly established, and the valve core 7 overcomes the oil pressure in the injection chamber 9 and moves in the first direction under the action of the oil pressure in the pressure regulating chamber 8 and the second elastic member 14, thereby closing the second fuel nozzle 302 and ending the injection process.

[0052] It should be noted that the piezoelectric crystal 16 has a quick response, a strong driving force and an accurate return, and can quickly and accurately open and close the sealing valve 12, thereby achieving precise control of the second fuel.

[0053] Optionally, the sealing assembly includes an armature 20, a sealing ball 21, a ball seat 22 and a valve seat 23, the valve seat 23 having a guide channel running through the armature 20, the armature 20 slidingly fits on the inner wall of the guide channel, the ball seat 22 is fixedly connected to the armature 20, the ball seat 22 has a ball socket, the sealing ball 21 fits in the ball socket, the fuel injector also includes an upper body 27 and a second fastener 25, the electromagnet assembly 5 is fixedly connected to the upper body 27, the upper body 27 is fixedly connected to the injection body 2 via the second fastener 25, and the electromagnet assembly 5 is configured to drive the armature 20 to move so that the sealing ball 21 opens or closes the first oil outlet channel. In this arrangement, when the electromagnet assembly 5 is energized, the armature 20 is lifted in the second direction by the electromagnetic force, and the sealing ball 21 is opened by the oil pressure in the control chamber 41. At this time, the pressure in the control chamber 41 drops, and the needle valve 6 moves in the second direction under the action of the oil pressure in the first fuel chamber 1 to open the first fuel spray hole 301, and the first fuel enters the combustion chamber; when the electromagnet assembly 5 is de-energized, the armature 20 moves in the first direction, the sealing ball 21 closes the first oil outlet channel on the valve sleeve 4, and the needle valve 6 moves in the first direction under the action of the oil pressure in the control chamber 41, contacts the conical surface of the valve body 3 to form a sealing pair, closes the first fuel spray hole 301, and ends the injection.

[0054] Optionally, the central axis of the first fuel injection hole 301 coincides with the central axis of the second fuel injection hole 302 and is located at the center of the combustion chamber, which can make the fuel evenly distributed and mixed, which is beneficial to the improvement of combustion organization and engine thermal efficiency.

[0055] This embodiment further provides an engine, comprising a combustion chamber and the fuel injector in the above solution, wherein the first fuel injection hole 301 and the second fuel injection hole 302 are both connected to the combustion chamber.
