Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuel technology, specifically to a fuel metering valve with adjustable performance and a locking nut. Background Technology

[0002] A fuel metering valve is a valve installed at the fuel inlet of a high-pressure fuel pump to adjust the fuel supply and pressure. Its adjustment is controlled by the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). The ECU increases or decreases the fuel quantity by changing the inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the high-pressure fuel pump via pulse signals. When the control coil is energized, the fuel metering proportional valve is open, allowing for the supply of maximum fuel flow.

[0003] The existing riveted structure of fuel metering valves may lead to performance deviations because the adjusting plug (made of copper) on the rear chuck may deform slightly during the riveting process. The amount of deformation directly affects the loss of fuel. Once the loss occurs, the product cannot be repaired, resulting in product scrap. To address this issue, we propose a fuel metering valve with adjustable performance and a locking nut. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution for a fuel metering valve with adjustable performance and a locking nut: A fuel metering valve with adjustable performance and a locking nut includes a housing 11, an enameled wire 2, and a coil frame 3. A front armature 17 is located on the left side inside the housing 11. The right side of the front armature 17 is connected to a middle armature 12 via a stainless steel washer 14. The right side of the outer wall of the middle armature 12 is connected to a rear armature 10 via a first bearing 13. The rear armature 10 is installed on the right side inside the housing 11. A composite bearing 16 is connected to the outer wall of a push rod 15. The right side of the composite bearing 16 passes through the stainless steel washer 14 and the middle armature 12, and is connected to a first spring 9. The first spring 9 is located inside a first screw plug 8. The left side of the first screw plug 8 is located on the rear armature 10. Inside the first screw plug 8, a first O-ring 6 is provided between the left side of the outer wall of the first screw plug 8 and the right side of the interior of the rear armature 10. A locking nut 7 is installed on the right side of the outer wall of the first screw plug 8. A valve sleeve 20 is installed on the left side of the front armature 17. A first valve core 18 is installed on the left side of the push rod 15. The first valve core 18 is installed inside the valve sleeve 20. A valve core spring 19 is installed on the left side of the first valve core 18. The valve core spring 19 is installed inside the valve sleeve 20. A second O-ring 21 is installed on the left side of the outer wall of the valve sleeve 20. A filter screen 22 is provided on the outside of the first valve core 18. The filter screen 22 is installed on the right side of the outer wall of the valve sleeve 20. A third O-ring 23 is installed on the left side of the outer wall of the front armature 17. The first O-ring 6, the second O-ring 21 and the third O-ring 23 ensure that there is no fuel leakage.

[0025] A locking nut 7 is added to adjust the positioning of the first screw plug 8. The first screw plug 8 is fixed with a certain torque. After adjustment, it is easy to rework the product during the production process, reducing scrap costs. By adjusting the first screw plug 8, the fuel supply can be made infinitely close to the ECU standard value.

[0026] A coil frame 3 is installed on the outer side of the front armature 17 and the outer side of the valve sleeve 20. A frame retaining ring 5 is installed on the right side of the coil frame 3. The connecting piece 24 is located on the outer wall of the rear armature 10.

[0027] The inner side of the coil frame 3 is provided with enameled wire 2, and a connecting piece 24 is installed between the left side of the outer shell 11 and the outer wall of the front armature 17.

[0028] A plug 1 is installed on the top of the outer casing 11, and a plug 4 is installed on the right side inside the coil frame 3.

[0029] The middle positions of the valve core spring 19, the first valve core 18, the push rod 15, the first spring 9, and the first screw plug 8 are on the same horizontal line. The locking nut 7 is used to fix the first screw plug 8 to prevent loosening due to vibration and ensure long-term stability.

[0030] The upper part of the filter screen 22 is the oil inlet. When the solenoid valve coil is energized, the fuel supply of port ① is reduced or increased proportionally. The filter screen 22 prevents impurities from entering the mating surface of the first valve core 18 and the valve sleeve 20, thereby improving reliability.

[0031] The thread axis of the first plug 8 is arranged perpendicular to the central axis of the oil inlet. By adjusting the screwing depth of the first plug 8, the initial gap between the rear armature 10 and the first valve core 18 can be finely adjusted to ensure fuel metering accuracy.

[0032] The contact surface between the rear armature 10 and the first screw plug 8 is a conical mating structure, and the locking nut 7 and the first screw plug 8 structure replace the traditional riveting method, avoiding performance deviations caused by riveting deformation.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] First, when the enameled wire 2 of the electromagnetic coil is not energized, the elastic force of the valve core spring 19 pushes the first valve core 18 to move to the left, causing the first valve core 18 to fit against the sealing surface of the valve sleeve 20, thus closing the fuel passage. At this time, the fuel flow is minimal, and the fuel intake of the high-pressure fuel pump is limited.

[0035] According to the engine operating conditions, the ECU sends a PWM pulse width modulation signal to plug 1, which energizes the enameled wire 2 on the coil frame 3, generating an electromagnetic force. The electromagnetic force attracts the front armature 17 and the rear armature 10 to move towards the coil, driving the push rod 15 to move to the right, compressing the valve core spring 19. The push rod 15 pushes the first valve core 18 to move to the right, forming a fuel passage between the valve core and the valve sleeve 20. Fuel enters from the fuel inlet, is filtered by the filter screen 22, and flows to the high-pressure fuel pump. The ECU controls the magnitude of the electromagnetic force by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal, thereby adjusting the opening of the first valve core 18 and achieving precise control of fuel flow.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present utility have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
