Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engine exhaust gas recirculation and cooling systems, and in particular to a controllable EGR system with dual inlets integrated with high and low pressure EGR valves and an engine. Background Art

[0002] EGR, or exhaust gas recirculation, involves partially introducing the engine's exhaust into the cylinders to lower combustion temperatures, thereby reducing NOx emissions. EGR is categorized as either cold EGR (low-pressure EGR) or hot EGR (high-pressure EGR). Cold EGR uses a cooler to cool some of the exhaust before introducing it into the cylinders. Hot EGR allows the exhaust to enter the cylinders directly without passing through a cooler. Cold EGR's temperature is lower than hot EGR, enabling lower combustion temperatures and further reducing NOx emissions.

[0003] The patent (application number CN201711048608.1) discloses a high- and low-pressure EGR technology, which uses high- and low-pressure EGR valves to control the high- and low-pressure EGR air paths to achieve high- and low-pressure EGR switching. The high-pressure EGR and low-pressure EGR completely share the same air path in the EGR cooler assembly. As a result, it does not have the function of introducing high-pressure EGR and low-pressure EGR at the same time, and thus cannot meet the engine's demand for high EGR rate under all operating conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a controllable EGR system and engine with dual inlets integrating high and low pressure EGR valves to meet the demand for adjustable EGR rate under different working conditions.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a controllable EGR system with dual inlets and integrated high- and low-pressure EGR valves, characterized in that it includes an engine, a dual-channel EGR cooler, an EGR mixer, and a dual-channel EGR valve. The exhaust manifold of the engine is divided into two paths, one of which passes through the supercharger turbine and is connected to the exhaust after-treatment device; the other passes through the high-pressure channel of the dual-channel EGR valve and enters the high-pressure EGR channel in the dual-channel EGR cooler, and then passes through the EGR mixer and enters the engine's intake pipe, forming a high-pressure EGR gas path;

[0006] The front end of the exhaust after-treatment device enters the low-pressure EGR channel in the dual-channel EGR cooler through a pipeline through the low-pressure channel of the dual-channel EGR valve, and then enters the intake pipe of the engine after passing through the EGR mixer to form a low-pressure EGR air path.

[0007] Preferably, fresh air passes through an air filter, a supercharger compressor, an air cooler and an EGR mixer and enters the engine through an intake pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the dual-channel EGR valve includes a motor, a motor shaft and a valve body, and the valve body is provided with a high-pressure valve plate for controlling the high-pressure channel and a low-pressure valve plate for controlling the low-pressure channel. The transmission shaft of the motor is connected to the high-pressure valve plate shaft of the high-pressure valve plate and the low-pressure valve plate shaft of the low-pressure valve plate at the same time through the first transmission gear set and the second transmission gear set.

[0009] Furthermore, the first transmission gear set includes a first sector driving gear, a first high-pressure sector driven gear and a first low-pressure sector driven gear. The first sector driving gear is fixedly connected to the motor shaft, the first high-pressure sector driven gear is fixedly connected to the high-pressure valve disc shaft, and the first low-pressure sector driven gear is fixedly connected to the low-pressure valve disc shaft. The first high-pressure sector driven gear and the first low-pressure sector driven gear are respectively arranged on both sides of the first sector driving gear and mesh with each other for transmission.

[0010] Furthermore, the second transmission gear set includes a second sector driving gear, a second high-pressure sector driven gear and a second low-pressure sector driven gear, the second sector driving gear is fixedly connected to the motor shaft, the second high-pressure sector driven gear is fixedly connected to the high-pressure valve disc shaft, the second low-pressure sector driven gear is fixedly connected to the low-pressure valve disc shaft, the second high-pressure sector driven gear and the second low-pressure sector driven gear are respectively arranged on both sides of the second sector driving gear, the second high-pressure sector driven gear and the second sector driving gear are meshed and transmitted through an idler gear, and the second low-pressure sector driven gear and the second sector driving gear are meshed and transmitted through an idler gear.

[0011] Furthermore, when the motor rotates clockwise from the initial state within the range of 0 to 60 degrees, the high-pressure valve plate shaft rotates within the range of 0 to 90 degrees, and the high-pressure valve plate opening range is 0 to 100%; at this time, the low-pressure valve plate opening remains at 0;

[0012] When the motor continues to rotate clockwise and changes in the range of 60° to 120°, the opening range of the high-pressure valve is 100% to 40%; at the same time, the opening range of the low-pressure valve is 0% to 60%.

[0013] When the motor rotates counterclockwise in the initial state within the range of 0-60°, the low-pressure valve shaft rotates within the range of 0-90°, and the low-pressure valve opening range is 0-100%. At this time, the high-pressure valve opening remains at 0.

[0014] When the motor continues to rotate counterclockwise and changes in the range of 60° to 120°, the opening range of the low-pressure valve plate is 100% to 40%, and at the same time, the opening range of the high-pressure valve plate is 0% to 60%.

[0015] Preferably, the water outlet of the engine is connected to the water inlet of the dual-channel EGR cooler after passing through a coolant flow regulating valve, and the water inlet of the engine is connected to the water outlet of the dual-channel EGR cooler.

[0016] Preferably, the water outlet of the dual-channel EGR cooler passes through a radiator, a thermostat and a water pump in sequence and is connected to the water inlet of the dual-channel EGR cooler to form a cooling water circuit.

[0017] Furthermore, a fan is provided next to the radiator, and the fan is driven by an engine.

[0018] An engine is characterized by having a controllable EGR system with dual inlets integrating high and low pressure EGR valves as described above.

[0019] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: the present invention uses a single EGR valve to simultaneously control the engine's high- and low-pressure EGR, simplifying the engine's EGR system structure and meeting the engine's requirements for high and low-pressure EGR under different operating conditions. When the engine requires only high and low-pressure EGR, different EGR rates can be controlled by adjusting the valve plate; when the engine requires both high and low-pressure EGR, the high and low-pressure EGR ratios can be adjusted. The present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The present invention adopts a dual-inlet EGR valve, which can control high-pressure and low-pressure EGR separately and adjust the ratio to meet different EGR rate target requirements under different working conditions;
