[0031] This embodiment provides a vehicle, the vehicle includes a chassis, and an engine is provided on the chassis. The engine includes an engine body, and the engine body has a main combustion chamber. This embodiment also provides a pre-combustion chamber structure. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the pre-combustion chamber structure includes a pre-combustion chamber body 1, which defines a pre-combustion chamber 2. The pre-combustion chamber body 1 defines a fuel channel 3. A guide groove 4 is defined on the inner circumferential wall of the pre-combustion chamber 2. The fuel channel 3 is connected to the first end of the guide groove 4. The guide groove 4 is arranged in an arc shape on the inner circumferential wall of the pre-combustion chamber 2 from the first end to the second end around the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2. The pre-combustion chamber 2 is connected to the main combustion chamber.
[0032] It can be understood that for active pre-combustion chamber 2 ignition, the fuel is pre-delivered to the pre-combustion chamber 2, mixed with the air in the pre-combustion chamber 2 and ignited by the spark plug. The ignited high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the main combustion chamber through the nozzle 11 opened in the pre-combustion chamber structure.
[0033] In this embodiment, the fuel enters the guide groove 4 through the fuel channel 3, flows along the guide groove 4 and finally enters the pre-combustion chamber 2. The guide groove 4 is arranged in an arc shape around the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2 from the first end to the second end on the inner peripheral wall of the pre-combustion chamber 2, so that the fuel flows in an arc path during the entry process, forming a vortex. Compared with the laminar flow entry of fuel in the traditional structure, it effectively improves the problem of accumulation of fuel after entering the pre-combustion chamber 2, ensuring uniform and reliable mixing with the air in the pre-combustion chamber 2. The entry of the fuel turbine effectively improves the scavenging effect, effectively reduces the flow rate, reduces the possibility of part of the fuel directly entering the main combustion chamber, reduces the waste of fuel, and enables the air coefficient to reach an ideal value. In addition, the pre-combustion chamber structure and the air intake structure are all processed in the pre-combustion chamber body 1, which has a simple structure and is easy to process.
[0034] In this embodiment, the fuel channel 3 is opened along the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2. Since the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2 is generally arranged in a vertical direction, this arrangement allows the fuel to effectively fall into the fuel channel 3 under the action of its own gravity, ensuring that it can reliably and smoothly flow through the guide groove 4 and enter the pre-combustion chamber 2.
[0035] In some other optional embodiments, the fuel channel 3 can also be opened in other directions. For example, the fuel channel 3 can be opened in the radial direction of the pre-combustion chamber 2, and the fuel can be transported through the fuel channel 3 by an external delivery device, so that the fuel flows through the guide groove 4 and enters the pre-combustion chamber 2.
[0036] The specific layout direction of the fuel channel 3 can be adaptively adjusted according to the internal structure of the engine and the difficulty of the processing technology, and this application does not limit it.
[0037] In this embodiment, the fuel channel 3 is connected to the first end of the guide groove 4 via a connecting hole, the axis of which is perpendicular to the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2. Since the guide groove is formed on the inner circumferential wall of the pre-combustion chamber 2 and extends perpendicularly to the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2, the axis of the connecting hole is perpendicular to the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2. This allows the fuel to flow directly along the direction of the guide groove after passing through the connecting hole, ensuring that the fuel initially flows along the guide groove 4 at a certain speed.
[0038] In some other optional embodiments, a flow orifice plate is provided between the fuel channel 3 and the guide groove 4. The flow orifice plate has multiple flow holes evenly spaced apart, and the fuel channel 3 is connected to the first end of the guide groove 4 through the multiple flow holes. The provision of the flow orifice plate enables the fuel, after passing through the fuel channel 3, to be evenly introduced into the guide groove 4 through the multiple flow holes, thus evenly dispersing the fuel and preventing uneven distribution of the fuel within the guide groove 4. Optionally, the axes of the multiple flow holes are also perpendicular to the axis of the precombustion chamber 2.
[0039] In this embodiment, the curvature of the guide groove 4 is set to at least 90°. This ensures that the curved guide section of the guide groove 4 has a certain length, ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the vortex after the fuel subsequently enters. For example, the curvature of the guide groove 4 can be set to 90°, 120°, or 150°, which is not limited in this application.
[0040] In some other optional embodiments, the guide groove 4 can also be set to a spiral shape along the inner wall of the precombustion chamber 2. In the process of the fuel flowing along the guide groove 4, the fuel can also be guided and transported downward along the axial direction of the precombustion chamber 2 for a distance, further ensuring that the fuel in the precombustion chamber 2 can be evenly distributed.
[0041] In this embodiment, the guide groove 4 includes a first groove portion 41 and a second groove portion 42, which are arranged sequentially along the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2. The second groove portion 42 is located below and connected to the first groove portion 41. The second groove portion 42 extends downward from the first groove portion 41 to the inner peripheral wall of the pre-combustion chamber 2. Specifically, after entering the guide groove 4, the fuel flows in an arc-shaped trajectory within the first groove portion 41, and during this flow, it also tends to descend under its own gravity. By providing the second groove portion 42, the second groove portion 42 can reliably guide the fuel. As the fuel moves in an arc-shaped trajectory, it gradually maintains a vortex state and flows downward toward the pre-combustion chamber 2, ensuring that the fuel enters the pre-combustion chamber 2 reliably and effectively, and that it is effectively mixed with the air thereafter. Specifically, the angle between the second groove portion 42 and the radial direction of the pre-combustion chamber 2 is set to 30°-60°. Figure 1 The angle α shown in the middle is the angle between the second groove portion 42 and the radial direction of the pre-combustion chamber 2, which can be 30°, 45° or 60°, and is not limited in this application.
[0042] In some other optional embodiments, the second groove portion 42 may also be configured to be arc-shaped, as long as the second groove portion 42 can ensure a downward tilting trend.
[0043] In this embodiment, the precombustion chamber 2 comprises a first chamber portion 21, a second chamber portion 22, and a third chamber portion 23. A flow guide groove 4 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the first chamber portion 21. The third chamber portion 23 is disposed between the first and second chamber portions 21, 22. Together, the first, third, and second chamber portions 21, 23, 22 form a funnel-shaped precombustion chamber 2. Specifically, the diameter of the first chamber portion 21 is larger than that of the second chamber portion 22. Fuel first enters the first chamber portion 21, where it is fully mixed with air before continuing downward to the second chamber portion 22. Upon reaching the second chamber portion 22, the fuel mixture is already well-mixed. The provision of the third chamber portion 23 provides a smooth transition between the first and second chamber portions 21, 22, causing the diameter of the precombustion chamber 2 to gradually decrease. The pre-combustion chamber 2 formed by the first chamber portion 21, the third chamber portion 23 and the second chamber portion 22 is arranged in a funnel shape as a whole. With this arrangement, after the fuel mixture is ignited, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas can effectively flow downward along the funnel-shaped pre-combustion chamber 2 and enter the main combustion chamber.
[0044] Optionally, rounded corner structures are provided between the first chamber portion 21 and the third chamber portion 23, and between the third chamber portion 23 and the second chamber portion 22. Such a configuration can enable a smooth transition in the connection between the first chamber portion 21 and the third chamber portion 23, and between the third chamber portion 23 and the second chamber portion 22, that is, the inner circumferential wall of the pre-combustion chamber 2 is smoothly connected as a whole, further ensuring the smooth flow of the fuel mixture from top to bottom.
[0045] Furthermore, the pre-combustion chamber body 1 is provided with a spray hole 11 that communicates with the second chamber portion 22. Specifically, the spray hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the second chamber portion 22. A plurality of spray holes 11 are provided, and the plurality of spray holes 11 are evenly spaced around the axis of the pre-combustion chamber 2. The number of spray holes 11 can be 4, 6, or 8, and this application does not impose any limitation thereto.
[0046] In summary, the pre-combustion chamber structure provided in this embodiment not only slows down the flow rate of the fuel and reduces the amount of fuel entering the combustion chamber during the process of the fuel running in a vortex trajectory from top to bottom, but also sweeps the original burned exhaust gas into the combustion chamber from the nozzle 11, and also improves the mixing effect of the fuel and air in the later stage. The engine provided in this embodiment applies the above-mentioned pre-combustion chamber structure, and the intake structure is all processed in the pre-combustion chamber body 1, which has a simple structure and is easy to process. The engine provided in this embodiment applies the above-mentioned pre-combustion chamber structure, which has a simple structure and is easy to process.

The vehicle provided by the utility model applies the above-mentioned engine, and a vortex is formed in the process of the fuel entering the pre-combustion chamber, which effectively improves the problem of the fuel accumulating after entering the pre-combustion chamber, and ensures uniform and reliable mixing with the air in the pre-combustion chamber.
