Development and trends in ignition systems for internal combustion engineAbstract:To improve the ignition stability of internal combustion engines in lean-burn mode,the effects of different ignition methods are analyzed from two perspectives:ignition principles and the coverage range of discharge plasma.The potential of the ignition system in combustion rate control and detonation suppression is discussed,and the development direction of advanced ignition systems is summarized.The analysis results show that the ignition system plays a key role in the combustion control process of internal combustion engines.Advanced ignition technology can ensure the ignition stability of internal combustion engines in lean-burn mode.Increasing ignition energy and ignition coverage can enhance ignition stability,but both will lead to a sharp increase in total ignition energy,requiring higher power for the ignition system,increasing system complexity,and reducing engine economy.Currently,the majority of ignition methods generate plasma ignition of the mixture through gas discharge.By adjusting the characteristics of the discharge plasma,the ignition system can flexibly control the combustion heat release throughout the combustion process in the cylinder.
Failure analysis and optimization of elastic coupling tear for a diesel engineAbstract:To address the frequent tearing failure of the rubber body of the elastic coupling at the flywheel end during the bench test of a diesel engine,torsional vibration tests of the shafting system and temperature rise tests of the rubber body of the elastic coupling are carried out to analyze the failure of the elastic coupling.Based on the AVL Excite Designer software,a 1D equivalent simplified model of the bench shafting system is established,and torsional vibration simulation analysis is conducted.An optimization method is adopted by increasing the moment of inertia between the elastomer at the dynamometer end and the universal joint of the cardan shaft,and the effectiveness is verified through simulation analysis and bench tests.The results show that resonance occurs between the first-order torsional vibration frequency of the shafting system and the second-order excitation frequency of the engine,leading to excessive torsional angle vibration of the rubber body of the elastic coupling,which causes torsional fatigue tearing and overheating melting of the rubber body,and finally results in the failure of the rubber body.Because the moment of inertia of dynamometer is greater than that of engine,the relative torsion angle of the rubber body of the elastic coupling at the flywheel end is greater than that at the dynamometer end,so the dissipated power of the rubber body of the elastic coupling at the flywheel end is greater than that at the dynamometer end,which leads to the elastic coupling at the flywheel end being more prone to failure.By increasing the moment of inertia between the elastomer at the dynamometer end and the universal joint of the cardan shaft,the first-order torsional vibration resonance frequency of the shafting system can be shifted away from the common speed range of the engine.Meanwhile,the dissipated power of the rubber body of the elastic coupling at the flywheel end is reduced by 33%,which prolongs the service life of the coupling rubber body and effectively solves the problem of frequent tearing of the rubber body of the elastic coupling at the flywheel end.
Structural optimization and verification of an automobile exhaust pipeAbstract:To prevent resonance between the natural frequency of an automobile exhaust pipe,the main order vibration frequency of the engine,and the natural frequency of the cab acoustic cavity,the finite element model of the exhaust pipe is established by using Abaqus software,modal simulation analysis is carried out,optimization schemes are proposed,and comparative verification is conducted through modal analysis tests.The results show that the first-order natural frequency of the exhaust pipe is 24.23 Hz,while the engine idle vibration frequency is 25.00 Hz.The two frequencies are close to each other,indicating a high resonance risk.By adopting the two optimization schemes of changing the hanger position and adding an elbow to the straight pipe section of the exhaust pipe and conducting simulation analysis,the 11th-order natural frequency of the scheme that only changes the hanger position is close to the natural frequency of the cab acoustic cavity,which also has resonance risk.It is found that the first-order natural frequency of the exhaust pipe with an elbow added to the straight pipe section reaches 19.40 Hz,which effectively avoids the engine idle vibration frequency and solves the resonance problem between the natural frequency of the exhaust pipe and the engine idle vibration frequency.A comparison between the exhaust pipe modal analysis test and the finite element simulation shows that their vibration modes are basically consistent,and the deviations of the first-order and second-order vibration frequencies are both less than 8%,which verifies the effectiveness of the simulation model.
