Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of internal combustion engines, and in particular relates to an electronic control system for high-pressure common rail fuel injection of diesel and aviation kerosene aviation engines. Background Art

[0002] Some existing carburetor aircraft engines have the problem of being unable to accurately control the amount and timing of fuel injection due to the limitations of the working principle of the carburetor. When the external working environment changes, the engine's fuel injection control cannot be adjusted in time. For example, when flying at high altitude, the decrease in intake pressure and temperature will cause the mixture entering the cylinder to be in a rich state. This will cause a series of problems, including incomplete engine combustion, power reduction, increased fuel consumption, and decreased combustion stability. These problems seriously threaten the reliability of small piston aircraft engines. In addition, the characteristics of aviation kerosene make it have a higher kinematic viscosity than gasoline, resulting in greater flow resistance and more difficult atomization. Therefore, solving the fuel supply and atomization problems of aviation kerosene is one of the important technical challenges of aviation kerosene piston engines.

[0003] The high-pressure common rail fuel injection electronic control system achieves highly accurate control of the fuel injection amount, injection timing and spray quality by digitizing and electronicizing the fuel supply process. Compared with the traditional fuel injection system, it introduces a common rail fuel supply pipeline to store the fuel at extremely high pressure in the common rail, and then accurately controls the fuel pressure and injection timing through an advanced electronic control unit to adapt to the engine requirements under different working conditions. For example, when an aircraft engine can fly at high altitudes, the electronic control unit can accurately correct the fuel injection amount according to changes in environmental conditions (including fluctuations in intake pressure and temperature), thereby avoiding problems that may be caused by the carburetor fuel supply method, such as incomplete combustion, reduced power performance, and even flameout in the air. This technology improves the atomization effect of the fuel and provides key support for the efficient, clean and low-noise operation of modern engines.

[0004] For this purpose, it is considered to provide an electronic control system for high-pressure common rail fuel injection of diesel and aviation kerosene aircraft engines. Utility Model Content

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an electronic control system for high-pressure common rail fuel injection of an aircraft engine includes a PID rail pressure control subsystem, an injection control subsystem and a computer 13, wherein the PID rail pressure control subsystem includes a low-pressure oil circuit 5, an oil pump 6, a high-pressure oil circuit 7, a common rail pressure sensor 8, a proportional solenoid valve 1, a power amplifier 2 and a first single-chip microcomputer 31; the injection control subsystem includes an injector 9, a drive circuit 10, a boost circuit 11, a trigger module 12 and a second single-chip microcomputer 32.

[0034] Among them, in the PID rail pressure control subsystem, the low-pressure oil circuit 5, the proportional solenoid valve 1, the oil pump 6, and the high-pressure oil circuit 7 are connected in sequence, that is, the outlet of an oil tank is connected to the inlet of the low-pressure oil circuit 5, the outlet of the low-pressure oil circuit 5 is connected to the proportional solenoid valve 1, the other end of the proportional solenoid valve 1 is connected to the oil pump 6, and then pumped into the high-pressure oil circuit 7; the outlet of the high-pressure oil circuit 7 is connected to the injector 9 through a pipeline. The common rail pressure sensor 8 located on the high-pressure oil circuit 7 detects the current oil pressure and transmits it to the first single-chip microcomputer 31. The first single-chip microcomputer 31 is used to output PWM waves to the power amplifier 2 according to the data transmitted by the common rail pressure sensor 8 and the target rail pressure value from the computer 13, and then control the proportional solenoid valve 1 to adjust the amount of oil pressed into the high-pressure oil circuit 7 in real time, thereby controlling the pressure in the high-pressure oil circuit 7 and realizing the dynamic stability of the rail pressure. The pressure sensor 8 and the power amplifier 2 are electrically connected to the first single-chip microcomputer 31 respectively. The first single-chip microcomputer 31 receives the current pressure value of the pressure sensor 8, transmits the pressure value to the computer 13 through the data communication module 4, and displays it on the computer display in real time, and receives the preset rail pressure value transmitted from the computer 13 and the PID parameters transmitted by the computer through the data communication module 4.

[0035] Among them, in the fuel injection control subsystem, the trigger module 12 is electrically connected to the data communication module 4, and transmits the trigger instruction to the second single-chip microcomputer 32 through the data communication module 4. The second single-chip microcomputer 32 receives the trigger instruction through the data communication module 4, and receives the fuel injection parameters transmitted from the computer 13 through the data communication module 4 and sends them to the drive circuit 10. The drive circuit uses the 60V voltage of the boost circuit to output the rising stage current, thereby controlling the injection of the injector 9. The fuel injection parameters include the injection time, the injection pulse width, the number of injections, the injection interval time, and the waveform parameters.

[0036] The computer 13 transmits the set PID parameters to the first single-chip microcomputer 31, and transmits the set injection parameters to the second single-chip microcomputer 32. The first single-chip microcomputer 31 performs PID control according to the pressure measured by the pressure sensor and the pressure set by the computer. The second single-chip microcomputer starts to inject fuel after the trigger module 12 issues a trigger instruction based on the injection parameters proposed by the computer.

[0037] The first single chip microcomputer controls the duty cycle and fuel supply information according to the current rail pressure value of the pressure sensor, the preset rail pressure value and the PID parameters transmitted by the computer; the injection parameters include injection time, injection pulse width, injection number, injection interval time and waveform parameters.

[0038] The oil pump 6 is a CP1H3 type 0445010159 series oil pump from Bosch, and the oil pressure adjustment range is 0-145MPa; the oil pump is equipped with a three-phase asynchronous motor, the motor power is 3.0kW, and the speed is 1400r / min. The common rail pressure sensor 8 is a Bosch 0281006364 type pressure sensor, which is installed at one end of the common rail, and the signal collected by the common rail pressure sensor is processed by the first single chip microcomputer. The pressure measurement range of the common rail pressure sensor 8 is 0-200MPa.

[0039] The first and second single-chip microcomputers are both Freescale series single-chip microcomputers MC9S12XEP100, which are 16-bit single-chip microcomputers with 112-pin packages and coprocessors XGATE. The bus frequency can reach up to 120MHz, with 8-way digital-to-analog conversion and PWM independent output channels. At the same time, there are 8-way ECT modules and 8-way SCI modules. Based on the position PID control rail pressure, the first single-chip microcomputer 31 filters the current rail pressure value, receives the target rail pressure value and the PID proportional coefficient, differential coefficient, integral coefficient, control frequency and other parameters from the computer 17, and then performs PID processing on the filtered current rail pressure value and the target rail pressure value, and adds the integral separation term, and then outputs a PWM wave with a fixed frequency and a variable duty cycle to the power amplifier 2, thereby controlling the opening of the proportional solenoid valve 1 to achieve dynamic stability of the rail pressure. At the same time, the single-chip microcomputer returns the pressure read by the pressure sensor 8 to the computer 13 through the data communication module 4 and displays it on its display.

[0040] The power amplifier 2 is a PWM wave power amplifier, which is used to control the opening of the proportional solenoid valve 1, thereby controlling the amount of fuel from the low-pressure oil circuit 5 to the high-pressure oil circuit 7 to maintain the balance of the rail pressure. The power amplifier 2 is powered by a 5V regulated power supply with a maximum power of 20W, which can ensure the normal operation of the proportional solenoid valve.

[0041] The proportional solenoid valve 1 uses the Bosch 0928400728 proportional solenoid valve matched with the oil pump 6. When the power amplifier 2 provides a low potential of 0V, the proportional solenoid valve 1 is in a non-conducting state; when the power amplifier 2 provides a high potential of 5V, the proportional solenoid valve 1 is turned on. By controlling the opening frequency of the proportional solenoid valve 1, the amount of fuel pressed into the high-pressure oil circuit from the low-pressure oil circuit is controlled. The rail pressure is maintained basically unchanged by achieving a dynamic balance between the oil inlet and the oil return.

[0042] The data communication module 4 is an SCI communication module, which is a communication module provided by the first and second single-chip microcomputers, and communicates with the computer 13 via a serial port.

[0043] The trigger module 12 is controlled by an operator or the power system of the aircraft engine to generate an injection signal. A ZK-PP1K pulse generator is selected, which can generate pulse square waves in PWM mode and PULSE mode. The PWM mode realizes continuous pulses according to the frequency and duty cycle, while the PULSE pulse mode can realize different pulse width times, different delays, and different numbers of pulses. The trigger module 12 supports a frequency range of 1Hz-150kHz.

[0044] The driving circuit 10 includes a boost circuit and a current segmentation control circuit; the boost circuit 11 is a 12V to 60V boost circuit, which can speed up the rising speed of the driving current and shorten the opening time of the injector, thereby providing a high voltage for the valve core of the injector 9 at the opening time; the current segmentation control circuit can provide two driving currents, namely, the rising stage current of the injection triggering stage and the maintaining stage current of the injector to maintain the injection of the injector. The rising stage current is in the process of opening the valve core of the injector 9, using high voltage power supply to increase the leading edge rising rate of the current to speed up the opening speed of the valve core; the maintaining stage current is in the process of opening the valve core of the injector 9, using low voltage power supply to form a small current to maintain the valve core in the fully open position, and the injector voltage and current waveforms finally realized are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0045] The working principle of the electronic control system of the aircraft engine high pressure common rail injection is as follows:

[0046] The fuel from the oil tank flows into the low-pressure oil circuit 5 through the pipeline, and then passes through the proportional solenoid valve 1 and the oil pump 6 to increase the oil pressure, and then enters the high-pressure oil circuit 7; the pressure sensor 8 located in the high-pressure oil circuit 7 detects the current oil pressure and transmits it to the first single-chip microcomputer 31, and then uploads the PID information in the PID rail pressure control subsystem to the computer 13;

[0047] When the trigger module 12 generates an injection signal, the injection signal is transmitted to the second single chip computer 3;

[0048] The first single-chip microcomputer controls the duty cycle and the oil supply according to the pressure measured by the pressure sensor, the rail pressure value preset by the computer, and the PID parameters transmitted by the computer, thereby performing PID control, maintaining the oil pressure in the high-pressure oil circuit 7, and achieving dynamic stability of the rail pressure; at the same time, the first single-chip microcomputer transmits the pressure value from the pressure sensor 8 to the computer 13 through the data communication module 4, and displays the pressure value on the computer display; the second single-chip microcomputer 32 performs fuel injection control according to the trigger instruction and the fuel injection parameters provided by the computer;

[0049] The power amplifier 2 controls the opening and closing of the proportional solenoid valve 1 according to the signal from the first single chip microcomputer, and the fuel passes through the low-pressure oil circuit 5, the proportional solenoid valve 1, the oil pump 6, and the high-pressure oil circuit 7 in sequence, and then the high-pressure fuel flows into the injector;

[0050] According to the instruction of the computer 13 , the boost circuit 11 is turned on, and the second single chip microcomputer 32 controls the operation of the injector through the driving circuit 10 .

[0051] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode includes only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in the embodiments may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
