Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of internal combustion engine cooling systems, and in particular relates to a three-stage open type electronic thermostat structure for an internal combustion engine. Background Art

[0002] At present, the traditional wax thermostat is widely used in internal combustion engines to adjust the coolant temperature. The traditional wax thermostat has the advantages of simple structure, reliable performance, low price, etc., but it also has certain limitations. The structure of the traditional thermostat is as follows:

[0003] When the cooling temperature is lower than the specified value, the refined paraffin in the thermostat temperature sensor is solid, and the thermostat valve closes the channel between the engine and the radiator under the action of the spring. The coolant returns to the engine through the water pump and performs a small cycle in the engine. When the coolant temperature reaches the specified value, the paraffin begins to melt and gradually becomes liquid, and the volume increases and compresses the rubber tube to shrink it. While the rubber tube shrinks, it exerts an upward thrust on the push rod, and the push rod has a downward reverse thrust on the valve to open the valve. At this time, the coolant flows back to the engine through the radiator and the thermostat valve, and then through the water pump to perform a large cycle. Under this structure, in the small cycle, the temperature of the engine body will rise rapidly. After high temperature, the thermal efficiency, that is, the improvement of power, can be guaranteed. The rapid heating of the coolant is crucial. After high temperature, the thermal efficiency, that is, the improvement of power, can be guaranteed. At the same time, the high-temperature coolant will melt the paraffin in the thermostat, and the paraffin will gradually expand, squeeze and close the small circulation path. At this time, the overall temperature of the coolant will slowly rise; until the paraffin is acted upon by the high temperature to completely close the small circulation path, and then enter the large circulation, the coolant and the engine body have reached the ideal high temperature state, and the engine can reflect performance and low fuel consumption with optimal thermal efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, achieving rapid temperature rise of the coolant is conducive to quickly closing the small cycle and entering the large cycle, so that the engine can achieve the best thermal efficiency and improve energy utilization. In the traditional structure of the wax thermostat, the coolant temperature rises slowly in the two-stage open small cycle, which greatly limits the rapid temperature rise of the coolant. Therefore, the original structure is upgraded to make the rapid temperature rise of the coolant a development need. Summary of the invention

The speed of water temperature rise is adjusted by controlling the flow rate, thereby improving the efficiency of the internal combustion engine.

[0017] 2. The present invention can effectively improve structural reliability:

[0018] ① The present invention respectively arranges a swing valve consisting of a channel and a ball valve on the upper cover and the bracket, that is, a double swing valve design, which has an exhaust function when adding coolant, and can effectively prevent the coolant from mixing with air and causing the engine to overheat. When the thermostat is operating normally, closing the swing valve can prevent excessive water leakage. The first swing valve is located at the opening where the upper end of the bracket connects with the cover, and the rubber structure of the bracket is used to ensure low leakage during normal use; the second is an opening on the bracket, located at the lower end of the bracket and the first spring, and a spring is used to prevent the ball valve from escaping, reducing the number of parts and the difficulty of process assembly.

[0019] ②The third spring can act as a one-way valve. After the sensor fails and the water pressure in the cavity is too high, it pushes the small circulation valve downward so that the small circulation valve can be opened by water pressure, avoiding excessive engine pressure and temperature and realizing fault protection function.

At this time, the coolant in the cylinder body hardly flows, and the coolant in the cylinder body can be quickly heated up briefly. During the heating process, the temperature sensor 12 senses the rise in water temperature, so that the paraffin in the sensor 12.2 expands due to heat and generates an expansion force, which is transmitted to the push rod 12.1 and converted into a thrust of the push rod 12.1.

At this time, the small circulation (i.e., the first channel 4) is opened to achieve the first-level opening, and the heated water returns to the cylinder body through the small circulation. At the same time, during the water heating process During the process, the sensor 12.2 has an enhanced ability to sense water temperature, the push rod 12.1 continues to squeeze the third spring 16 to drive the small circulation valve 10 to continue to move downward, the sensor 12.2 and the large circulation valve 9 cooperate and seal, and realize the function that the sensor 12.2 moves and the large circulation valve 9 does not move at the beginning. During the movement, the first rubber ring 12.3 at the top of the sensor 12.2 is driven downward, gradually contacts with the upper end of the large circulation valve 9, and squeezes the first spring 14 downward, and the large circulation (i.e., the second channel 5) is gradually opened. At this time, the large and small circulations are opened at the same time to realize the second-level opening. The thrust is applied until the auxiliary valve 11 presses the small circulation pipe mouth. At this point, the small circulation is closed, and the first rubber ring 12.3 continues to squeeze the large circulation valve 9 downward. Under the push of the thrust and the first rubber ring 12.3, the large circulation valve 9 is driven to move downward, so that the large circulation is fully opened, and the third-level opening is realized.
