Definitions

  • This invention relates to a variable delivery fluid pump and, more particularly to a common rail fuel system, which utilizes the pump to supply actuation fluid to a common fluid accumulator or rail.
  • high pressure actuation fluid is used to power electronic unit injectors, and the actuation fluid is supplied to the injectors from a high pressure fluid accumulator, which is referred to as a rail .
  • a rail high pressure fluid accumulator
  • Known common rail systems typically rely on either a single fluid pump that supplies fluid to the rail or a plurality of smaller displacement pumps that each supplies fluid to the rail.
  • the volume and rate of fluid delivery to the rail has been varied in the past by providing a rail pressure control valve that spills a portion of the delivery from a fixed delivery pump to maintain the desired rail pressure.
  • variable delivery pumps are well known in the art and are typically more efficient for common rail fuel systems than a fixed delivery actuation fluid pump, since only the volume of fluid need to attain the desired rail pressure must be pumped.
  • variable delivery has been achieved from an axial piston pump, e.g. a pump wherein one or more pistons are reciprocated by rotation of an angled swash plate, by varying the angle of the swash plate and thus varying the displacement of the pump.
  • the swash plate is referred to as a "wobble plate" .
  • Variable delivery has also been achieved m fixed displacement, axial piston pumps by a technique known as sleeve metering, m which each piston is provided with a vent port that is selectively closed by a sleeve during part of the piston stroke to vary the effective pumping portion of the piston stroke.
  • sleeve metering m which each piston is provided with a vent port that is selectively closed by a sleeve during part of the piston stroke to vary the effective pumping portion of the piston stroke.
  • known variable delivery pump designs are suitable for many purposes, known designs are not always well suited for use with modern hydraulically actuated fuel systems, which require fluid delivery to the rail to be varied with high precision and with rapid response times measured m microseconds.
  • known variable delivery pumps designs are typically complex, may be costly, and are subject to mechanical failure.
  • European patent application 307,947 of NIPPONDENSO CO . , LTD shows a variable discharge fixed displacement high pressure pump that utilizes an electronically actuated pressure latching valve m order to control output from the pump.
  • this pump begins its pumping stroke, fluid from the pumping chamber can either be displaced back to the inlet or out of the outle .
  • an electronically actuated spill valve can be actuated to close the spill passage between the pump chamber and the inlet to the pump.
  • pressure in the pumping chamber quickly rises, and the spill valve includes a closing hydraulic surface that holds it closed due to the high pressure in the pumping chamber. When the valve is closed, the fluid exits the pump through the outlet at high pressure .
  • the solenoid can be deenergized and the valve will remain in its closed position. While the concept of using a pressure latching valve can be beneficial from the standpoint of conserving electrical energy, the NIPPONDENSO pump suffers from a number of drawbacks.
  • the spill valve must necessarily have a relatively large and heavy valve member, and a relatively long travel distance in order to have a sufficiently large flow area when the valve is in its open position. The result of this is to require a relatively large and strong solenoid, and acceptance of relatively long response times that are required to move the valve from its open position to its closed position. Because such a structure inherently causes conflicts between the control requirements and the flow requirements, the performance capabilities of the same must necessarily be compromised.
  • Kadlicko shows a fixed displacement swash plate type pump that achieves variable output via sleeve metering.
  • the sleeve metering mechanism of Kadlicko appears to utilize a hydraulic force that is balanced against a spring force to adjust the position of the sleeve.
  • the positions of the metering sleeves are sensed and then fluid pressure is adjusted to move the sleeves to a different desired output position.
  • the Kadlicko pump appears to suffer from several drawbacks, including its complex control strategy, which would appear to be accompanied by relatively difficult problems in calibrating control signals with desired outputs from the pump.
  • This invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems described above.
  • a variable delivery pump comprises a pump housing defining a pump chamber, a pump inlet and a pump outlet. At least one plunger is positioned to reciprocate in the pump housing.
  • a by-pass valve including an electrically operated actuator and a valve block is attached to the pump housing and defines a valve inlet fluidly connected to the pump chamber.
  • the by-pass valve further includes a primary closure member movably positioned in the valve block and a secondary closure member movably positioned in the valve block and operably coupled to the electrically operated actuator .
  • a fuel injection system comprises a common rail, a plurality of fuel injectors fluidly connected to the common rail, a source of fluid, and at least one variable delivery pump with a pump outlet fluidly connected to the common rail and a pump inlet fluidly connected to the source of fluid.
  • the variable delivery pump comprises a pump in accordance with the preceding aspect of this invention.
  • a method of controlling output from a variable delivery pump comprises the steps of (a) providing a variable delivery pump including at least one plunger positioned to reciprocate in a pump housing, a by-pass valve including an electrically operated actuator and a valve block attached to the pump housing and defining a valve inlet fluidly connected to a pump chamber, and further including a primary closure member movably positioned in the valve block, and a secondary closure member movably positioned in the valve block and operably coupled to the electrically operated actuator; (b) determining a desired effective pumping stroke for the variable delivery pump; and (c) closing the by-pass valve at a timing corresponding to the desired effective pumping stroke at least in part by moving the secondary closure member to a closed position and then applying a hydraulic force to move the primary closure member to a closed position.

A desired effective pumping stroke is determined for the sleeve metered pump. Next, a solenoid current magnitude is determined that corresponds to the desired effective pumping stroke. Finally, the position of the metering sleeve within the pump is adjusted by supplying current to its solenoid assembly at the level corresponding to the previously determined solenoid current magnitude.

Abstract

Une pompe fixe à déplacement pour fluides (26) alimente une rampe d'injection (28) à haute pression avec un fluide moteur à injection pressurisée. L'alimentation variable à partir de la pompe (26) s'effectue en écoulant de manière sélective du fluide pompé à travers une soupape (90) de décharge ou de dérivation à fonctionnement numérique. La soupape de décharge (90) est actionnée par un signal électrique momentané, qui provoque le blocage de la pression du fluide interne dans la soupape (90) dans une position fermée, ce qui permet des variations de haute précision de l'alimentation de la pompe avec des temps de réponse rapides. L'invention concerne les conceptions de pompe unitaire (26), de pompe radiale (400), et de pompe axiale (500). Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'alimentation variable s'effectue par une approche de dosage amélioré du segment. Le segment (692) entoure le piston alternatif (672) et est utilisé pour réguler la ventilation du fluide pompé à travers les évents (686) du piston (672). Le segment (692) est déplacé, de préférence, en représentant l'armature d'un ensemble solénoïde (698). La variation de courant vers la bobine du solénoïde (696) modifie la position axiale du segment (692) par rapport au piston (672), pour changer sa course effective de pompage.
