Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of power energy, in particular to a combined intake two-stage combustion six-stroke engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the wide application of internal combustion power systems in automobiles, ships, power generation equipment, etc., engine technology has become an important research direction to promote the improvement of energy utilization efficiency and the control of pollution emissions. The traditional four-stroke engine is still one of the most widely used engine types due to its mature structure and low cost. Its basic working process includes four strokes of intake, compression, combustion (work) and exhaust, and only one work stroke in one working cycle, and the remaining three strokes are auxiliary processes and do not participate in energy output. Due to the low work frequency and the difficulty in fully utilizing the heat energy after combustion, the four-stroke engine has low thermal efficiency and insufficient fuel utilization.

[0003] To improve the efficiency of the engine, researchers have proposed the concept of six-stroke engine. This type of engine extends the working cycle and designs two combustion and two work processes in one cycle to improve combustion efficiency and power density. For example, some studies propose to add two auxiliary strokes, such as water injection cooling stroke or air cleaning stroke, based on the four-stroke engine to enhance heat exchange and exhaust efficiency. However, such schemes generally have complex system structure, difficulty in air intake organization, and dependence on external supply of auxiliary air source.

[0004] Another technical route is to use "secondary combustion" method, which performs two fuel injections and combustion in one working cycle to improve heat energy utilization. However, due to the lack of optimization of the structure of the traditional intake and exhaust system, the supply of fresh air required by secondary combustion cannot be guaranteed, and the insufficient air intake and lean mixture often lead to insufficient combustion, ultimately affecting the work performance and emission indicators of the engine.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology has the defects of insufficient air intake, poor oil-gas mixing quality and low combustion efficiency in the secondary combustion stage of the six-stroke engine. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the defects of insufficient air intake, poor oil-gas mixing quality and low combustion efficiency in the secondary combustion stage of the six-stroke engine in the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present application is as follows: A combined intake two-stage combustion six-stroke engine, comprising: a combustion chamber assembly, an oil injector, a transmission mechanism and a valve train, the valve train comprising an intake pipe, an exhaust pipe, a gas storage cavity, an intake pipe valve, a scavenging passage and a one-way valve of the scavenging passage, the engine working cycle comprising two intakes and two oil injection combustion work, the second intake being supplemented by the gas released from the gas storage cavity to the fresh air in the combustion chamber.

[0007] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the combustion chamber assembly comprises a cylinder, a piston reciprocating in the cylinder, and a cylinder head enclosing the cylinder with the cylinder head.

[0008] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the fuel injector is arranged at the center of the cylinder head for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber before each of the two combustion events.

[0009] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the transmission mechanism comprises a connecting rod, a crank, a crank pin, a crank shaft, and a piston pin for converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotating motion of the crank shaft.

[0010] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the gas storage cavity is arranged on the intake duct, and the intake duct valve is arranged at the front end of the gas storage cavity for controlling the communication between the gas storage cavity and the outside.

[0011] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the scavenging duct is arranged at the lower part of the cylinder and communicates with the combustion chamber, and the scavenging duct one-way valve is arranged between the scavenging duct and the combustion chamber for allowing gas to flow from the scavenging duct into the combustion chamber only.

[0012] A control method of the combined intake two-stage combustion six-stroke engine is also provided, based on the engine implementation, comprising: the step of closing the intake valve, triggering the first fuel injection, and performing the first combustion work; the step of opening the exhaust valve and the scavenging duct one-way valve to complete the exhaust and scavenging; the step of opening the intake valve and closing the intake duct valve to release the gas in the gas storage cavity and complete the air charge; the step of closing the intake valve, triggering the second fuel injection, and completing the second combustion work after compression; the step of opening the exhaust valve to complete the second exhaust.

[0013] A computer storage medium for storing a computer program is also provided, and when the computer program is read by a computer, the computer executes the method.

[0014] A computer comprising a processor and a storage medium is also provided, and when the processor reads the computer program stored in the storage medium, the computer executes the method.

[0015] A computer program product as a computer program is also provided, and when the computer program is executed, the method is implemented.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the present application has the following advantages: By setting the air storage cavity and intake pipeline valve in the intake system, the timing control between the combustion chamber and the external air source is realized, so that part of the high-temperature and high-pressure air is stored in the air storage cavity in the previous stroke and is released in a directional manner to supplement the intake air before the second compression. Compared with the prior art which only relies on natural aspiration or a single intake path, the structure can effectively improve the mixture concentration before the second combustion, improve the oil-gas mixing quality, and thus enhance the combustion efficiency and stability of the secondary combustion.

[0017] The scavenging passage is arranged at the lower part of the cylinder, and the low-pressure auxiliary intake channel is formed by cooperating with the one-way valve, and the non-driven scavenging intake is realized by means of the negative pressure difference formed in the exhaust process. Unlike the mechanical auxiliary intake or external air pump in the prior art, the method has simple structure and fast response, can quickly introduce fresh air while the exhaust gas is discharged, effectively reduces the exhaust gas residue, and improves the gas purity and the efficiency of the secondary combustion.

[0018] The six-stroke two-combustion cycle is adopted, each combustion is carried out in a closed state, and the independent and orderly gas distribution process is ensured, so that both combustion strokes have a high starting pressure and temperature. Compared with the traditional four-stroke engine and the six-stroke technology which fails to ensure the conditions of the secondary combustion, the scheme significantly improves the effective output power generated by unit fuel, significantly improves the overall thermal efficiency, and has stronger power output capacity and energy-saving potential.

[0019] By combining the gas distribution system, the multi-path intake and orderly gas distribution control are realized without significantly increasing the structural complexity. Compared with the introduction of complex auxiliary air path or external air storage equipment in some six-stroke engine designs, the scheme utilizes the energy state difference in the engine operation process to form a pressure difference intake, reduces the system energy consumption and component wear, and enhances the engineering feasibility and stability of the structure.

[0020] It is suitable for improving the thermal efficiency and output performance of the engine, especially for the internal combustion engine power system which needs multiple combustion work. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
