The traditional solution is to replace all internal parts, but the maintenance cost is high.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a gas injector, an engine and a vehicle to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0005] According to one aspect of the utility model, the gas injector is provided, and the replacement of the adjusting part can restore and adjust the residual gap, and the maintenance cost is low.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] The gas injector comprises:

[0008] The shell has a gas outlet;

[0009] The valve body is arranged in the shell;

[0010] The electromagnet is arranged at one end of the shell away from the gas outlet, and the electromagnet is provided with a through hole;

[0011] The control valve seat is slidably arranged in the valve body and the through hole;

[0012] The armature is arranged on the control valve seat, and the armature can be magnetically adsorbed with the electromagnet, so that the control valve seat opens the gas outlet;

[0013] The adjusting assembly comprises an adjusting part and a fixing part, the adjusting part is detachably connected to the control valve seat and located in the through hole, along the axis direction of the control valve seat, the adjusting part is arranged protruding relative to the electromagnet, so that the electromagnet and the armature have a residual gap, and the fixing part is arranged on the control valve seat and abuts against the adjusting part.

[0018] Preferably, the gas injector further comprises a first elastic piece, the first elastic piece is annularly arranged on the control valve seat, and two ends of the first elastic piece are connected to the valve body and the armature respectively.

[0019] Preferably, the gas injector further comprises an end cover and a second elastic piece, the end cover is arranged on one end of the shell close to the electromagnet, the second elastic piece is located in the through hole, and two ends of the second elastic piece are connected to the end of the control valve seat and the end cover respectively.

[0022] According to still another aspect of the utility model, a vehicle is provided, comprising a vehicle body and the above-mentioned engine, and the engine is arranged on the vehicle body.

[0023] The utility model has the advantages of:

[0024] The gas injector provided by this utility model has an outlet in its outer shell, a valve body disposed inside the outer shell, and an electromagnet disposed at the end of the outer shell away from the outlet. The electromagnet has a through hole, and a control valve seat slides through the valve body and the through hole. An armature is disposed on the control valve seat, and the armature can be magnetically attracted to the electromagnet, thereby opening the outlet. When the gas injector is energized, the electromagnet attracts the armature and moves it upward, causing the control valve seat to lift upward, thus opening the outlet and realizing gas injection. When the gas injector is de-energized, there is no attraction between the electromagnet and the armature, the armature moves downward, and causes the control valve seat to fall downward, thereby closing the outlet and preventing gas injection. The adjustment component includes an adjusting member and a fixing member. The adjusting member is detachably connected to the control valve seat and located in the through hole. Along the axial direction of the control valve seat, the adjusting member protrudes relative to the electromagnet to provide a remaining gap between the electromagnet and the armature. The fixing member is disposed on the control valve seat and abuts against the adjusting member. As the gas injector operates for a long time, the internal components collide and wear continuously until the remaining gap becomes zero. Removing the electromagnet, pulling out the fixing part, and replacing the adjusting part with one of different height dimensions can restore the remaining gap and adjust the gap, resulting in low maintenance costs.

[0025] The engine provided by this utility model includes an engine body and a gas injector. The engine body has an intake pipe, and the gas injector is installed in the intake pipe. As one of the core components of the engine body, the intake pipe is typically integrated into the cylinder head and is responsible for delivering external air or a mixture to the main combustion chamber. The intake pipe extends along the cylinder head axis and communicates with the main combustion chamber through an intake valve. An adjusting component is detachably connected to the control valve seat; replacing the adjusting component with one of different heights allows for the restoration of the remaining clearance and adjustment of the clearance, resulting in low engine maintenance costs.

[0026] The vehicle provided by this utility model includes a vehicle body and an engine, with the engine mounted on the vehicle body. An intake manifold is installed on the engine cylinder head, and a gas injector is fixed to the intake manifold, typically near the upstream of the intake valve. When the engine requires gaseous fuel, it is in the intake stroke. The gas injector is energized, and the electromagnet attracts the armature, causing it to move upwards and lifting the control valve seat, thus opening the outlet and injecting gas. Then, in the compression stroke, the gas injector is de-energized, the electromagnet and armature no longer attract each other, the armature moves downwards, and the control valve seat falls downwards, closing the outlet. As the gas injector operates over time, the internal components impact each other, and wear increases until the remaining clearance becomes zero. The adjusting component is detachably connected to the control valve seat. By removing the electromagnet, pulling out the fixing component, and replacing the adjusting component with one of different heights, the remaining clearance can be restored and the clearance adjusted. This results in low vehicle maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the gas injector includes a housing 1, a valve body 3, an electromagnet 4, a control valve seat 6, an armature 7, and an adjustment assembly.

When the gas injector is powered off, the electromagnet 4 and the armature 7 do not have an attraction effect, the armature 7 moves downward, and drives the control valve seat 6 to fall downward, so that the gas outlet 2 is closed, and gas cannot be injected.
