[0011] In the preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the annular table is provided with a receiving groove, and the sealing ring is arranged in the receiving groove; the side of the receiving groove facing the central axis of the valve seat is raised to form a boss; when the sealing ring is in a natural state, the upper surface of the boss is lower than the upper surface of the sealing ring; or, The lower surface of the valve core is provided with a receiving groove, and the sealing ring is arranged in the receiving groove; the side of the receiving groove close to the inner side wall of the valve seat is raised to form a boss; when the sealing ring is in a natural state, the lower surface of the boss is higher than the lower surface of the sealing ring.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment, the upper edge of the annular side wall of the valve core extends outward to form an eave, thereby closing the upper end of the gas channel between the annular side wall of the valve core and the inner side wall of the valve seat.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment, an annular gasket is arranged between the body and the valve seat, and the gasket separates the armature and the valve core.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] As Figures 1-3 shown, this embodiment provides a low-pressure large-flow hydrogen injector, which includes a body 1 and a valve seat 5 that are connected to each other and enclose to form a receiving cavity; taking the direction in the figure as an example, the upper end of the body 1 has an air inlet, and the lower end of the valve seat 5 has an air outlet; it also includes a tightening cap 6, and the tightening cap 6 is connected to the body 1 by interference fit, and can press the valve seat 5 against the body 1.

[0029] It also includes: a stationary iron core 2, an armature 3 and a valve core 4 that are sequentially arranged in the receiving cavity along the hydrogen flow direction; the stationary iron core 2 is fixed to the body 1 by interference fit to form a fixed part, and the armature 3 and the valve core 4 are fixedly connected to form a moving part. A spring receiving cavity 201 is provided at the center of the stationary iron core 2, and a compression spring 11 is arranged therein, and its lower end abuts against the armature 3, and always provides a force for the armature 3 to move away from the armature 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the armature 3 and the valve core 4 are connected by a bolt 10. In other feasible embodiments, the armature 3 and the valve core 4 can also be connected by interference fit, or the armature 3 and the valve core 4 are respectively processed with internal and external threads to achieve connection.

[0031] An annular gasket 9 is arranged between the body 1 and the valve seat 5, and the gasket 9 separates the armature 3 and the valve core 4. The body 1, the stationary iron core 2, the armature 3, the gasket 9 and the valve core 4 enclose to form the main chamber of the hydrogen injector, that is, the first chamber, and the air inlet is communicated with the first chamber; the valve core 4, the valve seat 5 and the sealing ring 8 enclose to form the second chamber, and the air outlet is communicated with the second chamber.

[0032] A plurality of first through holes 202 are arranged on the stationary iron core 2 along the axial direction, and a plurality of second through holes (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first through holes 202 are arranged on the armature 3.

[0033] The longitudinal section of the valve core 4 is "mountain" shaped; a third through hole (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the annular side wall of the valve core 4; an axial air passage is formed between the annular side wall of the valve core 4 and the inner side wall of the valve seat 6.

[0034] The lower surface of the valve core 4 is a plane; a ring platform extending towards the center is arranged in the middle of the inner wall of the valve seat 5, the upper surface of the ring platform is a plane, and the area where the lower surface of the valve core 4 is opposite to the upper surface of the ring platform forms an annular surface, and a radial air passage is formed between the valve core 4 and the ring platform of the valve seat 5.

[0035] The inlet, the first through hole, the second through hole, the third through hole, the axial air passage, the radial air passage and the outlet form a complete hydrogen flow channel. When the lower surface of the valve core 4 is separated from or attached to the upper surface of the ring table of the valve seat 5, the flow channel between the inlet and the outlet is opened or closed.

[0036] The electromagnet 7 is arranged outside the body 1 and surrounds the static core 2 and the armature 3. The electromagnet 7 is connected to an external controller through a cable. When the electromagnet 7 is powered on, an attractive force is generated between the static core 2 and the armature 3, which causes the valve core 4 to separate from the valve seat 5, thereby opening the hydrogen flow channel between the inlet and the outlet. When the electromagnet 7 is powered off, the compression spring pushes the armature 3 away from the static core 2, causing the valve core 4 to attach to the valve seat 5, thereby closing the hydrogen flow channel.

[0037] In other embodiments, the electromagnet 7 can only surround the static core 2 or the armature 3, and can move the armature 3 towards the static core 2 when powered on.

[0038] To improve the sealing effect between the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5, the upper surface of the ring table of the valve seat 5 is provided with a receiving groove, and a sealing ring 8 made of a non-metal material and having elasticity is arranged in the receiving groove. When the valve core 4 moves towards the valve seat 5, the lower surface of the valve core 4 contacts and compresses the sealing ring 8, thereby closing the radial air passage between the valve core 4 and the ring table of the valve seat 5.

[0039] In other embodiments, the sealing ring 8 can also be arranged on the lower surface of the valve core 4. The sealing ring 8 can be in the form of a separate component or can be integrally formed with the valve core 4 or the valve seat 5.

[0040] In use, hydrogen enters the first chamber through the inlet, and then flows through the first through hole 202 of the static core 2, the second through hole of the armature 3, the central hole of the gasket 9 and the third through hole of the valve core 4 into the second chamber.

[0041] When the electromagnet 7 is not powered on, the moving part is subjected to the downward pre-tightening force of the compression spring 11, the lower surface of the valve core 4 contacts the sealing ring 8, and the upper surface of the annular side wall of the valve core 4 does not contact the gasket 9. The sealing ring 8 is squeezed and deformed under force, and the radial air passage between the second chamber and the outlet is closed.

[0042] When the electromagnet 7 is powered on, the static core 2 and the armature 3 attract each other, the armature 3 is subjected to an upward attractive force, which overcomes the pressure of the compression spring 11 and the gas pressure, causing the moving part to move upward until the valve core 4 contacts the gasket 9. The valve core 4 no longer contacts the sealing ring 8, the radial passage between the second chamber and the outlet is opened, and hydrogen can flow out of the outlet.

[0043] In addition, when the hydrogen gas is in the first chamber, the hydrogen gas flow from the first through hole 202 of the static core 2 to the second through hole of the armature 3 can be blocked due to the misalignment of the first through hole 202 and the second through hole, thereby hindering the flow or reducing the flow. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment, the lower end of the first through hole 202 is provided with an annular groove 203, and the horizontal size of the annular groove 203 can cover the first through hole 202 and the second through hole at the same time. When the hydrogen gas flows through the static core 2, the hydrogen gas flows from the first through hole 202 into the annular groove 203, and then flows from the annular groove into the second through hole.

[0044] In other embodiments, the annular groove can also be provided at the upper end of the second through hole, and the principle and working process remain unchanged.

[0045] The planar valve of the present embodiment is shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower surface of the valve core 4 is a planar structure, the upper surface of the annular table of the valve seat 5 is also a planar structure, the maximum distance between the two is d1, the flow area is S1, and the diameter of the center hole of the valve seat 5 is D1. The traditional conical valve is shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The inner wall of the valve seat forms a conical surface, and the valve core also adopts a conical surface structure to cooperate with the valve seat. The maximum distance between the valve core and the valve seat is d2, the flow area is S2, and the diameter of the center hole of the valve seat is D2.

[0046] From the comparison of the two structures, it can be seen that in the case of no lubrication, the conical valve needs to increase the length of the sealing ring to increase the service life, so that D2 is smaller, which affects the flow. However, the planar valve combined with soft sealing adopted in the present application has a very short sealing ring length, so that D1>D2. From the perspective of lateral flow area, under the same lift, since the conical valve has an angle, d2

[0047] Combining the two, the structure of the present embodiment increases the flow area of the vertical axial flow channel and the axial flow channel compared with the existing conical valve, so the flow is larger.

[0048] From the start of energization to the end of energization of the electromagnet 7, one hydrogen gas injection action is performed. According to the needs of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, the hydrogen injector needs to perform multiple injections within one second. If a four-stroke four-cylinder internal combustion engine is calculated, when the rotation speed is 3000 revolutions per minute, the hydrogen injector needs to inject about 25 times in one second. At the same time, the mating surfaces of the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5 and the armature 3 and the body 1 in the present hydrogen injector are not lubricated by oil or grease.

[0049] Therefore, in the present embodiment, the hydrogen injector is further improved and designed as follows for severe working conditions: Since the static core 2 and the armature 3 are made of electromagnetic pure iron, the hardness is low, and in the case that no lubricating oil or grease forms an oil film to isolate the two, the collision between the two will cause large deformation, making the movement distance of the moving part uncontrollable, the electromagnetic force uncontrollable, and further affecting the consistency and accuracy of the hydrogen injector. Therefore, the valve core 4, the valve seat 5 and the gasket 9 are made of high-hardness iron alloy after heat treatment, which can withstand high-frequency friction and impact, and the selected material has hydrogen embrittlement resistance under the working conditions of the hydrogen injector. The material can be: quenched and tempered bearing steel, high-speed steel, martensitic stainless steel after solid solution and aging treatment, and precipitation hardening stainless steel after solid solution and aging + quenching and tempering. At low temperature (below 100 degrees Celsius), even at high frequency, the hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon of the above-mentioned materials is not significant. The working environment of the intake port injector is usually <90 degrees Celsius, mainly 40-50 degrees Celsius, so the above-mentioned materials have hydrogen embrittlement resistance.

[0050] When the electromagnet is energized, the gasket 9 will limit the upward movement of the valve core 4 of the moving part, ensuring that the armature 3 of the moving part and the static core 2 of the fixed part will not contact, and the distance maintained can both guarantee to meet the electromagnetic force requirement of the moving part upward, and can also guarantee that the armature 3 and the static core 2 will not contact after the valve core 4 and the gasket 9 are deformed after multiple impacts.

[0051] Similarly, in the case that lubricating oil or grease forms an oil film to isolate the two, if the valve core 4 directly collides with the valve seat 5, plastic deformation will occur, causing the sealing surface to fail, and further affecting the sealing performance of the hydrogen injector. Therefore, the sealing ring 8 is made of non-metal such as rubber or plastic, which has elasticity and wear resistance. The sealing ring has a buffering effect, and the sealing by the elastic deformation of the non-metal can avoid the failure of the sealing surface. The sealing ring 8, the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5 are in surface contact, and the contact surface is a circular ring, which increases the contact area and reduces the internal stress of the material.

[0052] However, the large deformation of the non-metal after being stressed may also lead to uncontrollable deformation and stress, and excessive deformation or high stress may cause the non-metal to be damaged. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment, the side of the center axis of the containing groove facing the valve seat 5 is raised to form a boss; when the sealing ring 8 is in a natural state, the boss is lower than the upper surface of the sealing ring 8, and the height difference is preferably 0.1-0.5mm. When the valve core 4 extrudes the sealing ring 8 and deforms it, the boss will contact the valve core 4, limiting the maximum deformation of the sealing ring 8, and further limiting the maximum stress of the sealing ring 8, to avoid excessive stress or excessive deformation of the sealing ring 8 and failure. At the same time, since the sealing ring 8 has a buffering effect, the force on the boss is small, and the plastic deformation of the boss is also small during long-term use, which can ensure the consistency of the hydrogen injector within the service life of the hydrogen injector.

[0053] Similarly, if the sealing ring 8 is arranged on the lower surface of the valve core 4, the boss is also arranged on the lower surface of the valve core 4, and the same technical effects as the foregoing embodiment can be achieved. Alternatively, the boss and the sealing ring 8 are integrally formed, which is more convenient in installation and use.

[0054] In the preferred embodiment, the upper edge of the annular side wall of the valve core 4 extends outward to form an eave, so as to close the upper end of the air passage between the annular side wall of the valve core 4 and the inner side wall of the valve seat 5, which can avoid the backflow of the gas in the second chamber to the first chamber and increase the contact area of the valve core 4 and the gasket 9 to disperse the impact force.

[0055] The embodiment has the advantage of large flow rate: The use of the planar valve core 4 and the valve seat 5 increases the flow area at the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5 relative to the conical sealing mode, and improves the flow rate; The annular groove 203 is arranged at the lower part of the static core 2 to make the flow passage more smooth, and avoid the throttling phenomenon caused by the misalignment of the through hole of the static core 2 and the through hole of the armature 3, thereby ensuring the large flow rate; The embodiment has the advantage of high reliability: The use of the gasket 9 to limit the movement of the moving part avoids the collision between the armature 3 with low hardness and the static core 2, avoids the damage of the key components, improves the controllability of the electromagnetic force, and thereby improves the reliability; The non-metallic sealing ring 8 is arranged between the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5 to avoid the plastic deformation caused by the collision between the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5, thereby improving the reliability of the sealing; The face sealing of the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5 increases the contact area and reduces the stress on the material, and the deformation of the sealing ring 8 is limited to avoid the failure of the sealing ring 8.

[0056] The embodiment also has the advantage of good sealing: The non-metallic sealing ring 8 arranged between the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5 changes the hard sealing to soft sealing, reduces the leakage of the hard sealing in the hydrogen injector due to the lack of oil film in the hydrogen environment, and reduces the leakage caused by the damage of the metal due to the lack of lubrication.

[0057] The embodiment also provides an internal combustion engine comprising the hydrogen injector. Since the hydrogen injector is used, all the technical effects thereof are achieved, which will not be described herein.

[0058] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
