Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention provides a hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engine with controllable pre-combustion chamber volume and a control method, specifically relating to a device and a control strategy for controlling the position of a pre-combustion chamber top cover to change the pre-combustion chamber volume, and belongs to the field of hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engines. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of aerospace propulsion systems, the evaporation of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen increases the pressure in the fuel tanks. The evaporated gases need to be released to ensure system safety, but this can lead to fuel loss and affect the execution of long-duration space missions. To address this issue, hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engines are used to generate auxiliary power to support the operation of spacecraft instruments and communications equipment, thereby ensuring the long-term operation of space missions while avoiding energy waste.

[0003] In order to prevent the combustion of a mixture of pure hydrogen and pure oxygen, which would generate high pressure and temperature in the cylinder and damage the engine structure, existing hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engines use the existing technology to inject hydrogen into the intake duct and inject oxygen from the nozzle in the pre-combustion chamber. The diffusion injection is guided by the pre-combustion chamber, which effectively avoids damage to the internal combustion engine caused by excessive thermal and mechanical loads, and avoids abnormal combustion problems such as detonation and backfire caused by the early premixing of hydrogen and oxygen, thereby achieving stable and controllable combustion.

[0004] A major challenge facing hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engines is that, under a hydrogen-rich combustion strategy, the engine load output is controlled by varying the oxygen injection rate in the precombustion chamber. However, during cold start, idling, and low-load to high-load cycles, the precombustion chamber oxygen injection rate varies significantly. This can lead to combustion instability and even misfires in the precombustion chamber due to the equivalence ratio exceeding the hydrogen-oxygen rich limit at low speeds and low loads, and exceeding the hydrogen-oxygen lean limit at high speeds and high loads. Using precombustion chambers of varying volumes could address these issues, but existing precombustion chambers are all fixed in volume. While installing precombustion chambers of varying volumes on the engine and varying the initial hydrogen volume and equivalence ratio within the precombustion chamber could achieve stable engine operation, using a smaller precombustion chamber at low speeds and low loads and a larger precombustion chamber at high speeds and high loads, this approach significantly increases the engine's complexity. Furthermore, given the stringent quality requirements of aerospace systems, this approach is difficult to apply to hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engines in aerospace propulsion systems.

[0005] Another problem faced by the pre-combustion chamber is poor air exchange efficiency, for which no effective solution has yet been found. Summary of the Invention
