[0002] In existing engines of gasoline-powered vehicles such as automobiles and motorcycles, a fuel pump control valve is typically installed in the fuel pump to work with electronic fuel injection technology, controlling the amount of fuel injected per cycle and the pressure in the fuel pump line. The fuel pump control valve consists of a valve seat and a sealing seat tightly fitted to it. A spring and a steel ball are installed inside the valve seat to achieve dynamic sealing of the valve cavity. However, in actual use, it has been found that the spring is prone to twisting during compression and reset. This spring twisting and collision with the valve cavity wall generates polarized noise, which, especially at high fuel pump pressures, severely affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Furthermore, the spring twisting also leads to unstable and untimely action during compression and reset, preventing the valve cavity from being sealed or opened in a timely manner. This results in large fluctuations in fuel pump line pressure, causing significant damage to the fuel pump. Therefore, the inventor has developed a new invention. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 9 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0027] This utility model relates to an electronic fuel injection pump control valve, comprising a valve seat 1 and a sealing seat 2. The valve seat 1 has an open valve cavity 3 in its center. The sealing seat 2 is fixedly mounted to the open end of the valve cavity 3. The sealing seat 2 has an oil inlet 21 communicating with the valve cavity 3. The bottom of the valve seat 1 has a central positioning hole 11 and at least two oil outlet holes 12 surrounding the central positioning hole 11. This utility model adopts an optimal four-outlet-hole embodiment after testing. The valve cavity 3 includes a lower positioning cavity 31 and an upper sliding cavity 32, with the diameter of the positioning cavity 31 being smaller than the diameter of the sliding cavity 32. It also includes an elastic component 4 for dynamically sealing the oil inlet hole 21. The elastic component 4 is installed inside the valve cavity 3 and positioned between the oil inlet hole 21 and the oil outlet holes 12. The elastic component 4 includes at least a sealing ball 41, a guide 42, and a... connected in sequence. The elastic element 43, here referring to a spring, is installed at one end in the positioning cavity 31 and extends into the sliding cavity 32 at the other end. The guide element 42 includes an integrally connected end cap 421 and guide handle 422. The end cap 421 is sleeved on the top of the elastic element 43 and is provided with at least two diversion holes 423 for connecting the oil inlet hole 21 and the oil outlet hole 12. This utility model adopts the optimal four-diversion hole 423 embodiment through testing. The guide handle 422 is inserted into the elastic element 43 and extends out to the middle positioning hole 11. The sealing ball 41 abuts against the top of the end cap 421 and is located below the oil inlet hole 21 to seal the oil inlet hole 21. When the valve is started or closed, the elastic element 43 can drive the end cap 421 to slide along the side wall of the sliding cavity 32 and cause the guide handle 422 to extend and retract along the middle positioning hole 11, thereby driving the sealing ball 41 to dynamically seal the oil inlet hole 21.

[0028] Compared with traditional fuel control valves, this invention has the following advantages: 1. A guide component is installed inside the valve cavity. The guide handle of the guide component passes through the elastic component and is positioned through the central positioning hole. The guide handle restricts the extension and retraction of the elastic component, effectively reducing the twisting phenomenon of the elastic component during the extension and retraction process, and significantly reducing the polarization noise of the fuel control valve; 2. The guide component is also equipped with an end cap. The end cap can cooperate with the guide handle to further limit the elastic component, reduce the twisting of the elastic component, reduce the noise of the control valve, and drive the elastic component to slide stably along the side wall of the valve cavity, making the dynamic sealing process of the elastic component more stable, the internal pressure of the valve cavity stable, and the oil pressure fluctuation small, which is more conducive to extending the service life of the control valve; 3. The valve cavity structure is improved by dividing the valve cavity structure into a two-cavity structure that can better limit the position of the elastic component; 4. The overall structure of this invention is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and it is more conducive to industrial production.

[0029] In one embodiment, the end cap 421 includes an end plate 424 and an edge portion 425 extending downward along the periphery of the end plate 424; the diversion hole 423 is disposed on the end plate 424. When fuel enters the valve chamber 3 from the inlet hole 21, the fuel pressure compresses the elastic element 43, and the edge portion 425 slides stably along the side wall of the valve chamber 3, and the fuel is output to the outlet hole 12 through the diversion hole 423.

[0030] As a preferred option, such as Figure 9 As shown, the distance between the elastic element 43 and the side wall of the sliding cavity 32 is D1; ​​the thickness of the edge portion 425 is D2; their length relationship is: D1≥D2>0.7D1. The edge portion 425 within this quantitative relationship has sufficient thickness and strength to withstand the pressure of fuel impact, ensuring that the edge portion 425 can slide stably along the side wall of the sliding cavity 32, thereby achieving the purpose of stabilizing the pressure in the valve cavity 3.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the top surface of the end plate 424 is also provided with a spherical recess 426 adapted to the sealing ball 41, and the diversion holes 423 are distributed around the periphery of the recess 426. The recess 426 can effectively assist in stabilizing the connection between the sealing ball 41 and the guide member 42.

[0032] In another embodiment, the end plate 424 and the edge portion 425 form a receiving position 427 for accommodating the top end of the elastic member 43; the diversion hole 423 is staggered with the top end of the elastic member 43 to prevent the elastic member 43 from blocking the fuel from flowing out of the diversion hole 423; on the other hand, each of the diversion holes 423 is provided with a guide tube 428 extending downward to guide the fuel to pass through the guide member 42 in a directional and rapid manner, and the multiple guide tubes 428 divide the receiving position 427 into a positioning area 429 for positioning the elastic member 43, that is, the circumferential space between the guide tube 428 and the edge portion 425 is just used to snap the top end of the elastic member 43, further reducing the polarization noise generated by the vibration of the top end of the elastic member 43.

[0033] Preferably, the diameter ratio of the guide shank 422 to the central positioning hole 11 is 0.90 to 0.99. Within this diameter ratio range, the guide shank 422 can maintain good axial movement while minimizing the generation of radial resonance in the guide shank 422.

[0034] Preferably, a limiting platform 33 is provided between the positioning cavity 31 and the sliding cavity 32; the end face of the limiting platform 33 is inclined in the direction close to the central axis of the positioning cavity 31. The limiting platform 33 is used to limit the sliding range of the end cap 421, and the inclined platform surface has a guiding effect to prevent fuel from accumulating on the limiting platform 33; in addition, the inclined platform surface is also conducive to the assembly of the elastic element 43.

[0035] Preferably, a flared opening 22 is provided below the oil inlet 21. The diameter of the flared opening 22 increases from top to bottom and forms a conical surface, which is used to assist in the accurate repositioning of the sealing ball 41.

[0036] As an example, the sealing sphere 41 is a metal sphere. The sealing sphere 41 made of this material can extend its service life and ensure the sealing performance of the sealing sphere 41.

[0037] In another embodiment, a sealing ring 23 is fitted onto the outer side of the sealing seat 2. During installation, the sealing ring 23 allows for a higher degree of sealing when the sealing seat 2 is connected to external devices.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
