Description

Spiral vortex precombustion chamber ignition system
Technical Field
The invention relates to an ignition technology of an internal combustion engine, in particular to an ignition technology for igniting a lean mixture in a precombustion chamber by a spark plug, and the ignition technology is used for finally igniting the lean main mixture by high-temperature high-speed injection of high-pressure gas generated by combustion of the lean mixture in the precombustion chamber into a main combustion chamber.
Background
The pre-combustion chamber ignition can obviously shorten the combustion duration of the mixed gas in the main combustion chamber, can ignite the lean mixed gas, reduce the combustion temperature, reduce the emission of NOx, improve the combustion efficiency and reduce the oil consumption of the internal combustion engine, and is a main reason for developing research on the internal combustion engine worldwide.
The ignition of the precombustion chamber refers to that a spark plug is adopted in the precombustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to ignite the pilot mixed gas, and high-temperature and high-pressure gas is formed into jet gas through a channel between the precombustion chamber and the main combustion chamber, and the jet gas is sprayed into the main combustion chamber through a jet hole to ignite the mixed gas in the main combustion chamber. The pre-combustion chamber ignition comprises an active pre-combustion chamber and a passive pre-combustion chamber ignition, wherein the active pre-combustion chamber refers to that mixed gas in the pre-combustion chamber is fed from the outside of the internal combustion engine through an independent pipeline; the passive precombustion chamber means that the mixture in the precombustion chamber is pressed in by the piston from the main combustion chamber.
Referring to lean mixture, there are mainly two states: one type of mixture is a much higher stoichiometric air/fuel ratio with an excess air ratio lambda much greater than 1, which is an oxygen-enriched combustion that produces NOx compounds that require complex and expensive aftertreatment systems. The other mixture is equal to the theoretical air/fuel ratio with an excess air ratio lambda constantly equal to 1, but with the addition of more burnt gas, which is added to the mixture via an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). The NOx produced by it can be treated by low cost three way catalysts which are currently in great use.
For a passive prechamber, the composition, concentration, gas flow rate, gas flow direction, temperature, pressure, etc. of the pilot mixture entering the prechamber are affected by the composition, concentration, gas flow rate, gas flow direction, temperature, and pressure of the main mixture. In order to increase the efficiency of the internal combustion engine, it is desirable to use lean gas combustion to perform work, which has the advantage of greatly reducing the heat loss of the internal combustion engine. But difficulties follow: firstly, the gas in the main combustion chamber is thin, the consistency of the fuel concentration near the spark plug is difficult to achieve, the spark plug is difficult to effectively ignite the mixed gas, and stable fire nuclei are generated. Secondly, the space of the main combustion chamber is larger, and air inlet vortex and tumble formed by the shape of an air passage and an air inlet valve are broken near the upper dead center, so that the flowing direction and the flowing speed of the mixed gas are subjected to uncertainty change, and the generated fire nuclei are difficult to grow and develop in a specific mode. Third, as the lean degree deepens, the combustion speed of the main mixture is greatly reduced, and large combustion cycle fluctuation is easy to form.
Briefly stated, the prechamber lean mixture ignition technique suffers from difficulties in both: formation of a core, growth of a core, development of a core, injection of energy of sufficiently high enthalpy into the main combustion chamber, acceleration of lean mixture to complete combustion, and the like.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a method for igniting a lean pilot gas, which is capable of promoting the growth and development of a flame kernel in a specific mode after the flame kernel is generated, smoothly completing the combustion of the lean gas in the precombustion chamber, and generating the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the precombustion chamber to perform jet ignition on the lean gas in the main combustion chamber, so as to realize the ignition and combustion of the lean gas in the main combustion chamber.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 10.
Example 1:
as shown in fig. 1, this embodiment provides a helical swirl prechamber ignition system having a prechamber 1, a spark plug 2, a jet valve 3, a main combustion chamber 4, at least one inlet orifice 5, and at least one jet orifice 6. The prechamber 1 is arranged in a cylinder head 8 above the main combustion chamber 4 near the centre of the cylinder 7. The main combustion chamber 4 is formed by a cylinder 7, a lower bottom surface of a cylinder head 8 and a top surface of a piston 15.
As shown in fig. 2, the prechamber 1 has an upper space 11 and a lower space 12. The upper space inner wall 9 and the lower space inner wall 14 are shaped as rotating bodies rotating along the central axis 10 of the precombustor, the inner wall diameter phi of the upper space 11 gradually decreases from top to bottom and is connected with the inner wall diameter phi of the lower space 12, the inner wall diameter phi of the lower space 12 is a fixed value or gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the spark plug positive and negative electrodes 13 face the upper space 11. The air inlet holes 5 are perpendicular to the central axis 10 of the precombustor and are arranged at the axial middle position of the lower space 12, the air inlet holes 5 are connected in the circumferential tangential direction of the inner wall 14 of the lower space 12 when seen from the top view 3, and the air inlet holes 5 can enable the main combustion chamber 7 to communicate with the precombustor 1.
The lower end surface of the lower space 12 is provided with a jet valve 3 with pressure difference control, the jet hole 6 is arranged near the periphery of the jet valve 3, and the jet hole 6 can introduce the gas in the precombustion chamber 1 into the main combustion chamber 7 after the jet valve 3 is opened.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the prechamber 1 is a passive prechamber, and in the compression stroke, when the piston 15 is up, the gas pressure in the cylinder 7 (hereinafter referred to as "cylinder pressure") is higher than the gas pressure in the prechamber 1 (hereinafter referred to as "prechamber pressure"), and the jet valve 3 is closed by the pressure difference, and gas cannot enter the prechamber 1 from the jet valve 3. At the same time, the piston 15 presses the main mixture gas in the cylinder along the air inlet 5 and flows into the lower space 12 of the precombustor, and the air flow is sprayed at a high speed along the circumferential tangential direction of the inner wall 14 of the lower space 12, so that a spiral vortex 16 is formed in the lower space 12.
Referring to fig. 4, the front of the spiral vortex 16 rotates upwards and decelerates gradually along the spiral angle from the circumference of the inner wall 9 gradually expanding from the lower space 12 to the upper space 11 until reaching the electrode end face 17 of the spark plug, then the front of the spiral vortex 16 reversely flows into the socket 18 and is converted into an axial airflow 19 from top to bottom, the spark position between the positive electrode 13 and the negative electrode 13 of the spark plug is set at the socket 18, namely, the intersection point of the plane B-B and the central axis 10, the axial airflow 19 flowing downwards is smaller along the circumference diameter of the inner wall 9, the flowing speed is faster and faster, and the axial airflow 19 continuously adds into the spiral vortex 16 at the periphery of the inner wall 9 along the way reaching the lower space 12, so as to form an airflow motion model, namely, a spiral vortex model, which is closed and repeatedly flows downwards from the axial flow of the socket 18 near the central axis 10 of the pre-combustion chamber.
Fig. 5 is a B-B section of fig. 4, in which the gas flow velocity distribution is such that the gas flow velocity 20 near the outer circumference is higher than the gas flow velocity 21 near the inner circumference, and the gas flow velocity distribution in the C-C section and the A-A section is similar to the flow distribution in the B-B section.
In the pilot mixture of the spiral vortex model of the precombustion chamber, all gas components including carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen and fuel are uniformly distributed, and the total non-uniformity of the gas concentration distribution is not more than 5%, so that the gas mixture can be regarded as a homogeneous mixture.
As shown in fig. 6, the spiral vortex model has several spaces with different air flow speeds and flow directions, each space has very remarkable characteristics, wherein:
the first, core region has the lowest air flow rate, below about 15 m/s, and is well suited for positioning spark plug electrodes, and is an ideal core generation region F. The space size of the fire core generation area F is a sphere with the diameter of about 2 to 4 mm taking the spark point of the spark plug electrode as the center;
second, under the shackles, the gas is accelerated axially and flows downwards, the flame front of the fire core is guided to a larger area rapidly, in the area, the gas flow speed is accelerated from 15 m/s close to the fire core generation area to more than 100 m/s close to the lower space from slow speed to fast speed, the fire core is ensured not to be blown out by the gas flow, and meanwhile, the fire core is promoted to grow rapidly, so that the gas flow type fire core growth area G is an ideal fire core growth area G. The fire core growing area G is an inverted cone with a base diameter of 4-6 mm and a height of 8-12 mm, and the axis of the inverted cone is overlapped with the axis 10 of the precombustion chamber;
third, the region further expanding in the radial and axial directions of the flame growth zone G up to the inner wall of the prechamber 1 is defined as flame development zone D. In this region, as the diameter Φ of the inner wall of the upper space 11 decreases, the downward velocity of the flame front increases further, and more air entrains the flame front into the high-velocity swirl of the peripheral spiral rise, which is at a velocity of up to 200 m/s to 1000 m/s, resulting in the flame front rapidly occupying the entire prechamber 1 space.
The precombustor volume is 0.1% to 0.5% of the cylinder single cylinder volume. In general, the larger the volume of the prechamber 1, the more the mass of the mixture entering the prechamber 1, and the more the mass of the fuel in the mixture, the more the heat generated by combustion increases, so that the temperature of the inner wall of the prechamber 1 increases, and the adverse effect of the pre-combustion is easily induced. Therefore, the volume of the prechamber 1 should be minimized if possible.
Further, the total flow area of the intake holes 5 is equal in value to 0.5% to 2% of the cylinder diameter. The spark plug 2 has a prechamber pressure of about 25% to 50% of the main combustion chamber pressure when it ignites. Similarly, the greater the pressure in the prechamber 1, the greater the mass of the mixture entering the prechamber 1, and the greater the mass of the fuel in the mixture, the greater the heat generated by combustion, so that the temperature of the inner wall of the prechamber 1 increases, and the adverse consequences of the preignition are easily induced. Therefore, if possible, the pressure in the prechamber 1 should be minimized, but not too low, at least the gas pressure after combustion of the pilot mixture should exceed the main combustion chamber gas pressure by 10%, preferably by 20%.
The total flow area of the jet holes 6 is 3.5 to 6 times the total flow area of the air intake holes 5. This ensures that more high-temperature high-pressure gas jets are injected into the main combustion chamber 4 in less crank angle time, and that higher main gas mixture ignition energy is achieved under lean conditions.
As shown in fig. 7, after the jet valve 3 is pushed open by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is injected from the precombustion chamber 1 into the main combustion chamber 4 in the direction of an arrow in the figure, so as to form an injection torch 22.
The pressure of the precombustion chamber in the prior art is generally equal to the pressure of the main combustion chamber, when the spark plug ignites the pilot mixed gas, the pilot mixed gas is ignited to raise the pressure, the precombustion chamber mixed gas immediately flows into the main combustion chamber due to the existence of pressure difference, at the moment, the temperature and the pressure of the gas flowing into the main combustion chamber are not high, the ignition effect on the main mixed gas is not achieved, the final pressure and the final temperature of the precombustion chamber mixed gas after combustion are reduced, the speed and the temperature of final gas jet flow are reduced, the formed jet flow torch is short and the temperature is insufficient, and the ignition on the main mixed gas is unfavorable. To achieve the effect of igniting the main mixture, it is necessary to increase the volume of the prechamber, increase the fuel entering the prechamber, and eventually increase the temperature and jet velocity of the jet gas, which is clearly a disadvantageous result.
The pressure of the pre-combustion chamber is obviously lower than the pressure of the main combustion chamber before ignition, the pressure of the pre-combustion chamber is lower than the pressure of the main combustion chamber within a period of time when the pilot mixed gas is ignited and combusted, the pilot mixed gas cannot flow into the main combustion chamber 4, the main mixed gas continuously flows into the pre-combustion chamber 1, and the pressure of the pre-combustion chamber is further increased under the combined action of the combustion of the pilot mixed gas and the continuously flowing mixed gas, so that the combustion speed of the pilot mixed gas is accelerated, and the combusted high-temperature pilot mixed gas cannot flow into the main combustion chamber 4 because the pressure does not exceed the pressure of the main combustion chamber. The combustion of the mixed gas is usually carried out at a low combustion heat release speed at the beginning, after a period of combustion, the combustion speed is rapidly increased, the pressure and the temperature of the precombustion chamber are accelerated and increased, the precombustion chamber exceeds the pressure of the main combustion chamber at a moment (within 1-2 crank angles), then the jet valve 3 is forced to be opened under the action of pressure difference because the pressure of the precombustion chamber is higher than the pressure of the main combustion chamber, a large jet flow area is formed, the pilot mixed gas is turned to be sprayed to the main combustion chamber 4 at a high speed in a high-temperature and high-pressure state, and more high-temperature and high-pressure gas jet flows in the precombustion chamber space enter the main combustion chamber in a few crank angles. This is one of the key steps to ensure that the lean mixture can be ignited and combustion is completed smoothly.
The lean mixture has two states. Firstly, the air-fuel ratio lambda of the mixture is equal to 1, and the EGR rate is 0% to 50%. The waste gas after the mixed gas in the state is combusted is very convenient to be treated by a three-way catalyst, and the cost is low. And secondly, the mixed gas is a mixed gas with an excessive air coefficient lambda far greater than 1, and because the mixed gas is in oxygen-enriched combustion, the excessive oxygen and nitrogen are combusted to form a nitrogen oxide NOx, and the tail gas treatment cost is high.
Alternatively, the prechamber wall is an integral part of the outer shell of the spark plug 2 or of an intermediate part connected between the spark plug 2 and the cylinder head 8.
Alternatively, a spark plug (not shown) is added to the cylinder 7 facing the main combustion chamber 4 for cold start and stable operation of the engine at low load.

As shown in fig. 8, embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a helical vortex prechamber ignition system, wherein the inner wall of the upper space of the prechamber is shaped such that the generatrix of the rotating body thereof, which is gradually reduced in diameter, is an upwardly convex curve, and the rotation thereof generates an upwardly convex curved surface 23. The upward curved surface 23 causes the flow field of the air flow in the precombustion chamber 1 to be changed from that shown in fig. 4, so as to change the movement direction and speed of the air flow in the flame kernel generation area F, the flame kernel growth area G and the flame development area D. In general, the velocity of the swirling flow of the pilot mixture entering the prechamber will be reduced somewhat slower at the beginning than in example 1, the remainder being the same as in example 1.
Example 3
As shown in fig. 9, embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a helical vortex prechamber ignition system, wherein the inner wall of the upper space of the prechamber is shaped such that the generatrix of the rotating body thereof, which is gradually reduced in diameter, is a downward convex curve, and the rotation thereof generates a downward convex curve 24. The downward curved surface 24 causes the flow field of the air flow in the precombustion chamber 1 to be changed from that shown in fig. 4, so as to change the movement direction and speed of the air flow in the flame kernel generation area F, the flame kernel growth area G and the flame development area D. In general, the velocity of the swirling flow of the pilot mixture entering the prechamber will be reduced somewhat faster at the beginning than in example 1, the remainder being the same as in example 1.
Example 4
As shown in fig. 10, embodiment 4 of the present invention also provides a helical vortex prechamber ignition system, wherein the upper space 11 and the lower space 12 of the prechamber are integrated, and the inner wall is in the shape of an inverted cone 25 with gradually decreasing diameter. The reverse cone 25 causes the flow field of the air flow in the precombustion chamber 1 to be changed from that shown in fig. 4, and changes the movement direction and speed of the air flow in the flame kernel generation area F, the flame kernel growth area G and the flame development area D. In general, the lead mixture entering the prechamber will initially have a helix swirl angle that is greater than that of example 1, and thus the gas flow rises along axis 10 more rapidly, the remainder being the same as in example 1.
Example 5
As shown in fig. 11, embodiment 5 of the present invention further provides a spiral vortex prechamber ignition system, wherein the upper space 11 of the prechamber is a cylinder with larger diameter, the lower space is a cylinder with smaller diameter, and the two cylinders are connected by an inverted cone to form an inner wall curved surface 26 with a bus having an approximate U-shape. The curved surface 26 causes the flow field of the air flow in the precombustion chamber 1 to be changed from that shown in fig. 4, so that the movement direction and speed of the air flow in the flame kernel generation area F, the flame kernel growth area G and the flame development area D are changed. In general, the velocity of the swirling flow of the pilot mixture entering the prechamber will be reduced somewhat faster at the beginning than in example 3, the remainder being the same as in example 1.
