Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel injectors, in particular to an oil outlet sealing structure of a metering valve and a fuel injector. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, to achieve ball valve sealing, an angled structure matching the ball valve is installed on the end face from the high-pressure oil unloading hole to the metering valve. Repeated lifting of the armature and the impact of the high-pressure jet can easily cause cavitation damage to the angled direction and the ball valve. Cavitation occurs because the interface between the cavitation vapor phase and the liquid phase within the channel (the high-pressure oil unloading hole) undergoes rapid and continuous phase change and mass exchange, resulting in the condensation and collapse of a large number of tiny cavitation bubbles. The resulting impact force acts on the wall surface. As a result, existing metering valves for injectors often experience impurity accumulation and carbon deposits around the sealing surface after long-term use. This can easily clog or wear the oil outlet, leading to reduced injection performance and even malfunctions. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; the structures described in various embodiments can be freely combined without any conflict in structure or principle.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the utility model product is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., etc., are used solely for distinction and description, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] Below with reference to accompanying drawing some embodiment of the present invention is described:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model proposes an oil outlet sealing structure of a metering valve, which mainly improves the seal between the top of the metering valve 1 and the bottom end of the valve body (not shown in the figure, in practice the valve body is mainly an electromagnetically driven valve stem, etc.), and the sealing structure includes: a flat area 3 for sealing is arranged at the top of the oil outlet 2, and a gathering area 4 is arranged on the ring side of the oil outlet 2.

[0030] This sealing structure utilizes the flat surface area 3 and the corresponding bottom end of the valve body to achieve a flat seal, eliminating the need for an angled design at the top of the metering valve 1 and reducing the risk of cavitation. Furthermore, a collection area 4 is designed around the oil outlet 2 to collect sediment and facilitate cleaning, while also preventing sediment from falling into the oil outlet 2 and causing blockage and wear.

[0031] As a preferred solution, Figure 1As shown, the top of the metering valve 1 is provided with a groove 5, within which is a protrusion 6. Both the groove 5 and the protrusion 6 are annular in shape. The oil outlet 2 is located in the middle of the protrusion 6, and the top surface of the protrusion 6 forms a flat sealing area 3. This seals the oil outlet 2 when the bottom end of the valve body contacts the flat area 3. When the bottom end of the valve body disengages the flat area 3, fuel is ejected from the oil outlet 2 into the groove 5, draining the fuel and reducing cavitation. Furthermore, using the top of the protrusion 6 as the sealing flat area 3 reduces the required finishing area, facilitating manufacturing and reducing costs.

[0032] As a preferred solution, Figure 1 As shown, a downwardly recessed oil drain groove is provided on the protrusion 6 to form a collection area 4. For example, multiple oil drain grooves are provided and distributed around the oil outlet 2. The shape of the oil drain groove increases the area for sediment accumulation and allows sediment to be collected in the drain groove for easy cleaning.

[0033] As a preferred solution, Figure 3 As shown, the collecting area 4 is designed to extend in a spoke shape.

[0034] As a preferred solution, for ease of understanding, a plane parallel to the axial direction of the metering valve 1 is defined as a longitudinal section. The longitudinal section of the oil drain groove can be designed as a "U" and / or "V" shape to expand the accumulation area of ​​sediment and enhance the sediment collection effect.

[0035] As a preferred solution, the depth of the oil drain groove is designed to be 0.1 mm to 2 mm.

[0036] As a preferred solution, Figure 2 As shown, the protrusion 6 is designed to be cross-shaped, and the oil outlet 2 is located in the center of the protrusion 6. In this way, the small-area protrusion 6 and other connected surfaces are formed into a stepped shape to increase the oil unloading groove area.

[0037] The utility model also provides a fuel injector, comprising any one of the above-mentioned oil outlet sealing structures of the metering valve.

[0038] The injector's sealing structure utilizes the flat surface area 3 and the corresponding bottom end of the valve body to achieve a flat seal, eliminating the need for an angled design at the top of the metering valve 1 and reducing the risk of cavitation. Furthermore, a collection area 4 is designed around the oil outlet 2 to collect sediment and facilitate cleaning. This area also prevents sediment from falling into the oil outlet 2, potentially causing blockage and wear.
