    摘要: In a hydraulically-actuated electronically-controlled unit injector, the viscosity of the actuating fluid used to actuate the unit injector varies with ambient temperature and affects the magnitude of pressure drops in the actuating fluid circuit. Such variations in viscosity affect the magnitude of the fuel delivery command pulsewidth and/or actuating fluid pressure required for engine startup versus that required for normal engine operation. The present invention provides an improved hydraulically-actuated electronically-controlled unit injector and methods of operation which compensate for variations in the viscosity of the actuating fluid used to hydraulically actuate a piston. The stroke of the piston is controlled electronically and/or mechanically in order to achieve an appropriate amount of fuel injection.

    摘要: A pumping element for pressurizing a fluid within a fluid pump includes a plunger reciprocally disposed within a bore defined in a barrel. The plunger and barrel at least partially define a pressurization chamber into which fluid is pressurized. A flow path is defined between the plunger and the bore, the flow path permitting fluid to pass from the pressurization chamber during pressurization of fluid disposed therein. A collection chamber is formed between the plunger and the bore, the collection chamber being disposed adjacent to the bore and being part of a cooling circuit for the pumping element. A plurality of weep openings is defined in the barrel and is fluidly connected to the collection chamber. A reduced diameter portion of the barrel forms an annular reservoir that receives fluid from the weep openings.

    摘要: Fuel injectors equipped with direct control needle valves can add new capabilities to a fuel injection system, but can sometimes have difficulty in achieving low hydrocarbon emissions at levels comparable to ancestor fuel injectors that utilize a simple spring biased needle. The present invention seeks lower hydrocarbon emissions by reducing fuel pressure before the direct control needle valve member has reached its closed position toward the end of an injection event. Reducing fuel pressure can be accomplished in a number of ways depending upon the particular fuel injection system, including spilling fuel pressure in a cam system or possibly relieving pressure on an intensifier piston. By employing this strategy, fuel spray from the fuel injector can effectively end before the direct control needle valve member reaches its closed position, thus avoiding hydrocarbon production that could be caused by a small amount of fuel pushed into the combustion space as the needle moves over the last portion of its movement toward its closed position.

    摘要: The present invention relates to high speed control valves which are especially applicable for use in fuel injection systems. Producing a valve with a quick response time within acceptable packaging constraints and with a structure that allows the valve to be mass produced with consistent performance between valves is extremely problematic. By moving flow restrictions within the valve away from the valve seats, flow forces on the valve member can be reduced, while possibly also permitting a reduction in the necessary travel distance of the valve member to improve response time and other performance characteristics. The valve is particularly applicable in controlling hydraulic pressure applied to the closing hydraulic surface of a direct control needle valve in a fuel injector.

    摘要: A common rail fuel injection system addresses three basic issues involving all common rail fuel injection systems. These include high performance, low variability and high efficiency. These issues are addressed by combining pressure intensification with a three way needle control valve, which exhibits substantial leakage only durring a brief instant when the valve is moving between seats. A quick acting needle control valve tightly coupled to a responsive direct control needle valve, as modified by relative timing with a flow control valve, can produce a wide variety of fuel injection rate shapes, including up to five or more discrete injections per engine cycle.

    摘要: A noise reducing fuel injection system includes an engine having a head with an injector bore. A fuel injector is suspended in the injector bore via a noise reducing mounting bracket. The mounting bracket has a clamping portion that clamps to the fuel injector, a support that is attached to the engine and an arm portion extending between the clamping portion and the support. The fuel injector is allowed to slide a slight distance in and out of the injector bore when the engine is running by either making the arm portions slightly flexible, by including resilient members between the support and the engine, or both.

    摘要: A hydraulically actuated fuel injector includes an injector body defining an actuation fluid chamber that opens to an actuation fluid drain, an actuation fluid inlet and a piston bore, and further defining a nozzle chamber that opens to a plunger bore and a nozzle outlet. A control valve, positioned in the injector body, has a first position that opens the actuation fluid inlet and closes the actuation fluid drain, and a second position that closes the actuation fluid inlet and opens the actuation fluid drain. A piston, positioned in the piston bore. A plunger, positioned in the plunger bore, is moveable between an upper position and a lower position. A needle valve member, positioned in the nozzle chamber, is moveable between an open position in which the nozzle outlet is open and a closed position in which the nozzle outlet is blocked. A portion of the plunger bore and the plunger define a fuel pressurization chamber that opens to the nozzle chamber. A variable rate return spring biases the piston and plunger toward their retracted positions. The variable rate return spring has a relatively low spring rate when the piston is a first distance away from its retracted position and has a relatively high spring rate when the piston is at a second distance away from its retracted position.
