Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] In this application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0030] The utility model embodiment provides a fuel injector, see Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the fuel injector, the fuel injector includes: a needle valve body 1, a needle valve 2 and a nozzle body 3;

[0031] The needle valve 2 is movably arranged in the needle valve body 1 and is used to control the conduction or closing of the oil circuit in the needle valve body 1;

[0032] The nozzle body 3 is detachably arranged at the lower end of the needle valve body 1 so that the injector can spray oil along a preset angle, wherein the preset angle is the intake swirl direction of the cylinder of the engine.

[0033] It should be noted that the needle valve 2 is movably arranged in the needle valve body 1 to control the conduction or closure of the oil circuit entering the needle valve body 1 from the oil inlet 11. When combustion is required in the cylinder of the engine, that is, when the injector is required to spray oil into the cylinder, the needle valve 2 controls the conduction of the oil circuit in the needle valve body 1 to achieve oil injection. When the cylinder needs to discharge exhaust gas, the oil circuit in the needle valve body 1 is closed by controlling the closure, thereby effectively avoiding fuel waste.

[0034] It should also be noted that the organized airflow movement around the cylinder axis formed during the cylinder intake process is the swirl ratio. Increasing the swirl ratio can effectively improve the combustion effect in the cylinder.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, a needle valve 2 is movably disposed within a needle valve body 1, and the needle valve 2 is used to control the opening or closing of the oil circuit within the needle valve body 1. Furthermore, a nozzle body 3 is detachably disposed at the lower end of the needle valve body 1, so that the injector sprays fuel along a preset angle, and the preset angle corresponds to the intake swirl direction of the engine cylinder. With the above-disclosed injector, since the nozzle body 3 enables the injector to spray fuel along the intake swirl direction of the engine cylinder, thereby allowing the fuel to be fully mixed with the air, the present application can effectively increase the swirl ratio within the cylinder and improve the combustion effect.

[0036] Specifically, the needle valve body 1 , the needle valve 2 and the nozzle body 3 are all cylindrical structures.

[0037] It should be noted that the needle valve body 1, needle valve 2 and nozzle body 3 can all be set to cylindrical structures, or they can be set to other types of structures. The needle valve body 1, needle valve 2 and nozzle body 3 can also be set to other types of structures respectively. Those skilled in the art can make a choice according to their needs.

[0038] Specifically, the needle valve body 1 , the needle valve 2 and the nozzle body 3 are coaxially arranged.

[0039] It should be noted that coaxially arranging the needle valve body 1 and the nozzle body 3 can make the nozzle body 3 spray oil into the cylinder more uniformly, and coaxially arranging the needle valve 2 and the needle valve body 1 can reduce the difficulty of assembly and processing and improve assembly efficiency.

[0040] Specifically, the nozzle body 3 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 , wherein the arc-shaped oil passages 33 are communicated with the oil passage of the needle valve body 1 .

[0041] It should be noted that by opening a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 in the nozzle body 3 and connecting the arc-shaped oil passages 33 with the oil passage of the needle valve body 1, when the oil passage in the needle valve body 1 is connected, the fuel can flow along the arc-shaped oil passages 33. Finally, after the fuel is ejected, it can form an arc. When a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 eject fuel at the same time, the organized airflow motion around the cylinder axis can be improved to a swirl ratio, so that the fuel can be fully mixed with the air, thereby improving the combustion effect in the cylinder.

[0042] Specifically, the nozzle body 3 includes: a connecting rod 31 and a cone head 32;

[0043] The lower end of the needle valve body 1 is provided with a tapered cavity that cooperates with the cone head 32;

[0044] The connecting rod 31 is arranged on the top of the cone head 32, and the connecting rod 31 is provided with an external thread;

[0045] The lower end of the needle valve body 1 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread;

[0046] The cone head 32 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33;

[0047] A flow passage 34 is defined in the axial direction of the connecting rod 31 , and an oil hole communicating with the flow passage 34 and the arc-shaped oil passage 33 is defined in the radial direction of the connecting rod 31 .

[0048] It should be noted that, by opening a conical cavity that cooperates with the spray cone at the lower end of the needle valve body 1, the connecting rod 31 is arranged at the top of the cone head 32, the connecting rod 31 is provided with an external thread, and the lower end of the needle valve body 1 is provided with an internal thread that cooperates with the external thread, the connecting rod 31 is provided with a flow channel 34 in the axial direction, and the connecting rod 31 is provided with an oil hole that is connected to the flow channel 34 and the arc oil channel 33 in the radial direction. This not only improves the assembly efficiency of the nozzle body 3 and the needle valve body 1, but also ensures that the oil path of the needle valve body 1 is connected to the flow channel 34 and the arc oil channel 33.

[0049] Further, refer to Figure 4 The conical surface of the cone head 32 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 .

[0050] It should be noted that by providing a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 on the conical surface, not only the difficulty of machining the arc-shaped oil passages 33 can be reduced, but also the consistency of the plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 can be ensured.

[0051] It should also be noted that the present application can open multiple arc-shaped oil channels 33 on the conical surface, or can open multiple arc-shaped oil channels 33 inside the cone head 32. Those skilled in the art can make a choice according to their needs.

[0052] It is worth noting that after the cone head 32 of the present application is installed at the lower end of the needle valve body 1, the conical surface of the cone head 32 cooperates with the needle valve body 1, so that the multiple arc-shaped oil channels 33 do not affect each other, forming separate oil channels.

[0053] Specifically, a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the conical surface of the cone head 32 .

[0054] It should be noted that a plurality of arc-shaped oil passages 33 are evenly arranged around the conical surface of the cone head 32, which can further ensure the uniformity of the fuel injector when spraying fuel into the cylinder, thereby improving the mixing effect and ensuring the combustion effect.

[0055] Specifically, the arc-shaped oil passage 33 bends counterclockwise.

[0056] It should be noted that the arc-shaped oil channel 33 can be bent in the counterclockwise direction or the clockwise direction, and those skilled in the art can make the selection according to the direction of the vortex in the cylinder.

[0057] Based on the fuel injector provided in the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present utility model further provides an engine, the engine comprising: a fuel injector;

[0058] The fuel injector includes: a needle valve body 1, a needle valve 2 and a nozzle body 3;

[0059] The needle valve 2 is movably arranged in the needle valve body 1 and is used to control the conduction or closing of the oil circuit in the needle valve body 1;

[0060] The nozzle body 3 is detachably arranged at the lower end of the needle valve body 1 so that the injector can spray oil along a preset angle, wherein the preset angle is the intake swirl direction of the cylinder of the engine.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, a needle valve 2 is movably disposed within a needle valve body 1, and the needle valve 2 is used to control the opening or closing of the oil circuit within the needle valve body 1. Furthermore, a nozzle body 3 is detachably disposed at the lower end of the needle valve body 1, so that the injector sprays fuel along a preset angle, and the preset angle corresponds to the intake swirl direction of the engine cylinder. With the above-disclosed injector, since the nozzle body 3 enables the injector to spray fuel along the intake swirl direction of the engine cylinder, thereby allowing the fuel to be fully mixed with the air, the present application can effectively increase the swirl ratio within the cylinder and improve the combustion effect.
