Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to a common rail fuel system for a heavy-duty 12V diesel engine. Background Technology

[0002] A common rail system typically includes a high-pressure fuel pump, a common rail, and high-pressure injectors. It's a fuel supply method that separates the fuel injection and pressure build-up processes. The high-pressure fuel pump builds up high pressure and delivers it to the common rail, which then connects to the injectors via high-pressure fuel lines. Most existing high-pressure common rail pumps have relatively small fuel capacity, and their size and mounting joints are too large. When matched with V-type diesel engines, they are often externally mounted on the outside of the crankcase, which cannot meet the requirements of heavy-duty 12V applications.

[0003] Matching a heavy-duty 12V diesel engine requires a rail pressure of 180 MPa, a transmission ratio of 1:1, a power of 900 kW, and the installation position must be within the V-angle, with an installation stop of only φ110 mm. Most existing high-pressure common rail pumps have a small oil volume, a large shape, and a large installation stop, and when matched with a V-type diesel engine, they are mostly mounted externally on the outside of the diesel engine crankcase.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, "a number of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the common rail fuel system of the heavy-duty 12V diesel engine includes a V-shaped cylinder block with six cylinder bores on each side; a common rail pipe 3 is installed in the middle of the inner wall of the V-shaped cylinder block, and a high-pressure fuel pump 1 is installed in the lower part of the inner wall of the V-shaped cylinder block.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the high-pressure oil pump 1 includes a low-pressure chamber, a high-pressure chamber, and a lubrication chamber connected in sequence; the low-pressure chamber includes an oil pump 101, a filter 102, and an oil inlet metering valve 103 connected in sequence; an overflow valve 104 is provided between the filter 102 and the oil inlet metering valve 103; the oil pump 101 is connected to the oil tank, and a pressure limiting valve 105 and a vent valve 106 are provided on the bypass of the oil pump 101; the high-pressure chamber includes an oil inlet valve 107 and an oil outlet valve 108; the lubrication chamber includes a plunger sleeve 109, a plunger body 110 disposed within the plunger sleeve 109, a tappet 111 disposed at the bottom of the plunger body 110, and a camshaft 112 disposed at the bottom of the tappet 111; the upper end of the plunger sleeve 109 is connected to the high-pressure chamber, and a pressure relief hole 113 is provided on the side of the plunger sleeve 109; the oil inlet metering valve 103 and the oil discharge hole 113 are both connected to a zero-flow valve 114, and then connected to the oil tank through an external return oil circuit.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to meet the fuel supply requirements of the heavy-duty 12V diesel engine, the length, width and height of the high-pressure oil pump 1 are 347mm, 123mm and 438mm respectively in the existing space. The plunger body 110 of the high-pressure oil pump 1 has a diameter of φ9mm, a lift of 15mm and a circulating fuel injection volume of 3817ml. It is a two-cylinder two-action pump.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, the injector 2 includes a body 201, an electromagnet 202 disposed on the top of the body 201, an armature 203 disposed inside the body 201, a valve assembly 210 connected to the armature 203, and a needle valve 204 disposed at the bottom of the body 201. The body 201 is inverted conical in shape, with a central high-pressure chamber 205 inside. A high-pressure oil inlet 206 communicating with the central high-pressure chamber 205 is opened in the middle of the body 201, and a spray hole is disposed at the bottom of the body 201. The bottom of the needle valve 204 blocks the oil outlet, and a coupling sleeve 207 is clamped on the upper part. The side is connected to the valve assembly 210 through a valve stem 208. An oil outlet throttling hole 209 is disposed below the armature 203.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the injector 2 has a length of 196mm and a maximum outer diameter of φ29mm.

[0035] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the common rail pipe 3 includes an A-side common rail pipe and a B-side common rail pipe; the common rail pipe 3 is provided with eight oil ports, one of which is connected to the high-pressure oil pump 1, six of which are connected to the injector, and one is used as a balance port to communicate with the balance port on the other common rail pipe 3 to balance the pressure on both sides; the A-side common rail pipe is connected to the rail pressure sensor 301 to detect the rail pressure; the B-side common rail pipe is connected to the pressure relief valve 302 through a pressure relief port that matches the pressure relief valve 302, and is used for overpressure protection.

[0036] The common rail 3 has an inner length of 303mm and an inner diameter of φ10mm. The rail material is F38MnVS, and the rail hardness is 265~300HBW5 / 750, which can meet the rated working pressure of 180MPa for diesel engines.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, the oil pump 101 integrated on the high-pressure oil pump 1 draws oil from the oil tank and enters the high-pressure pump chamber through the diesel coarse filter 5 and the diesel fine filter 6. The high-pressure oil pump 1 establishes high pressure and supplies oil to the high-pressure injector 2 through the high-pressure oil pipe 4 and the common rail pipe 3, and the injector 2 performs direct injection in the cylinder.

[0039] In the high-pressure oil pump 1, the camshaft 112 drives the plunger to reciprocate. The oil pump 101 delivers fuel from the tank to the inlet of the inlet valve 107. When the plunger moves downward, the pressure of the oil pump 101 pushes open the inlet valve 107, allowing fuel to enter the plunger chamber. When the plunger body 110 moves upward, the pressure of the plunger chamber closes the inlet valve 107 and opens the outlet valve 108, allowing high-pressure oil to enter the common rail 3. Changing the duty cycle of the PWM control signal of the metering valve 103 can change the flow area of ​​the metering valve 103, thereby changing the high-pressure flow rate to meet the injection quantity and rail pressure requirements of the common rail system. The overflow valve is used to return excess flow from the oil pump 101 to the tank, and the zero-flow valve 114 is used to return leakage flow from the solenoid valve to the tank when the high-pressure pump stops.

[0040] In injector 2, high-pressure fuel enters the injector 2 assembly from the high-pressure inlet and directly enters the high-pressure chamber 205 in the middle hole. When the electromagnet 202 is not energized, the needle valve 204 experiences a downward force, closing the injection orifice. When the electromagnet 202 is energized, the valve stem 208 moves upward against the spring force of the coupling sleeve 207, opening the needle valve 204. Unlike traditional mechanical injectors, this injector uses an electronically controlled injector. Injector 2 has a solenoid valve circuit interface at one end. When the ECU issues an injection command, high-pressure fuel is injected into the diesel engine cylinder through injector 2, while a small amount of return fuel enters the return pipe and returns to the diesel tank. Injector 2 uses a coupling sleeve 207 structure. The solenoid valve includes an electromagnet 202 and an armature 203, with the solenoid valve positioned at the top. A servo system controls the injector nozzle. The injector nozzle has eight holes with a diameter of 0.176 mm, a flow rate of 1.8 L / min, a cone angle of 148°, axial distribution, and no static leakage.

[0041] In summary, this utility model installs the high-pressure common rail pump in the fuel system according to the diesel engine's requirements, providing sufficient fuel supply to the diesel engine, solving the arrangement problem within the V-angle of the common rail fuel system for heavy-duty 12V diesel engines, and ensuring sufficient fuel supply for heavy-duty 12V diesel engines.
