[0018] Figure 1 It is a cross-sectional structure schematic diagram of the cylinder body of the present application, Figure 2 It is a structure schematic diagram of the air injection valve body of the present application, Figure 3 It is a structure schematic diagram of the air injection airway of the present application, Figure 4As shown in the schematic diagram of the subassembly connecting structure of the present application, the heavy oil engine in the embodiment comprises a cylinder body 1 and a gas injection valve body 2, the cylinder body 1 is provided with a starting pressure relief hole 1a; the gas injection valve body 2 comprises a gas injection assembly and a mixed gas recovery cavity 22a, the gas injection assembly comprises a mixing cavity 21a and a gas injection valve 21b, the mixing cavity 21a is used for mixing fuel and heated gas to form high-rolling flow mixed gas, the gas injection valve 21b sprays the high-rolling flow mixed gas formed in the mixing cavity 21a into the cylinder body 1 through a throttle valve 25, the gas injection valve 21b is arranged between the mixing cavity 21a and the throttle valve 25 and is used for spraying the fuel mixed gas into the cylinder body 1, and it is ensured that the mixed gas formed by the oil injection can be completely discharged when the gas injection valve 21b is opened, and the mixed gas recovery cavity 22a is connected between the starting pressure relief hole 1a and the mixing cavity 21a and is used for recovering the mixed gas discharged from the pressure relief hole.The engine cylinder block 1 is equipped with a starting pressure relief port 1a to reduce the compression resistance of the starting gas. When the engine starts, the crankshaft speed is low and the piston moves up and down slowly. During the compression stroke, the piston moves to the top dead center, and the gas in the cylinder is compressed. Some of the gas can be discharged through the starting pressure relief port 1a, which greatly reduces the resistance during the compression stroke, allowing the engine to start with a small starting torque. When the engine is running normally, the crankshaft speed is high and the piston moves up and down very quickly. Only a small amount of compressed gas will be discharged from the cylinder through the starting pressure relief port 1a, which has little impact on the engine's performance under normal operating conditions. During the cold start process of the piston-type heavy oil (aviation kerosene) engine, due to the characteristics of the fuel itself, the fuel temperature is low, atomization is poor, and it is difficult to form a ignition core, making it difficult to start the engine. The fuel-air mixture that should be discharged from the starting pressure relief port 1a of the cylinder block 1 is recovered and reused. The recovered gas enters the mixture recovery chamber 22a through the one-way valve 24b for heating, then mixes and atomizes with the fuel. The fuel-air mixture is then injected into the throttle valve 25 by the jet valve 21b, where the fuel-air mixture mixes with air. The fuel then enters the engine through reed valve 26 and finally enters the combustion chamber for ignition and combustion. Before the engine starts, the fuel pump starts working first, and the fuel enters the injector cap 23a for heating. When the temperature reaches the required starting temperature, the engine ignites and starts, and the injector 23b works. The fuel passes through the mixing chamber 21a and the injection valve 21b into the throttle valve 25, and finally enters the cylinder block 1. The mixture recovery chamber 22a is connected to the starting decompression port 1a of the cylinder block 1 through the connecting pipe 24a and the one-way valve 24b. When the engine starts, a small amount of fuel-gas mixture is discharged from the starting decompression port 1a. The gas enters the mixture recovery chamber 22a. Based on the signal feedback collected by the intake air temperature and pressure sensor 222a, the second heated plug 221a heats the gas in the mixture recovery chamber 22a. The heated gas enters the mixing chamber 21a through the chamber connection channel 27. Utilizing the structure of the mixing chamber 21a, the fuel injected by the injector 23b and the heated gas form a tumble flow in the mixing chamber 21a and are fully mixed and atomized. Then, the gas is injected into the throttle valve 25 by the jet valve 21b and finally enters the combustion chamber for ignition and combustion. When the engine is working normally, the second heated plug 221a will no longer work.

The fuel injector cap 23a is provided with a fuel inlet 231a connected to the fuel pump in the fuel tank and a fuel return port 232a connected to the fuel tank. The fuel pump pumps the fuel in the fuel tank into the fuel injector cap 23a. The function of the fuel return port 232a is mainly to recover the excess fuel in the fuel injector cap 23a back to the fuel tank. The fuel injector 23b atomizes the fuel flowing into the fuel injector cap 23a and sprays it into the mixing chamber 21a.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second heating plug 221a is arranged away from the mixing chamber 21a to avoid contact between the second heating plug 221a and the mixed gas in the mixing chamber 21a and cause misfire.

[0024] In this embodiment, the mixing chamber 21a and the mixed gas recovery chamber 22a are in communication through at least one chamber connecting channel 27, the chamber connecting channel 27 is arranged to accommodate surrounding parts, and the mixing chamber 21a and the mixed gas recovery chamber 22a are in communication through the chamber connecting channel 27, which not only ensures the relative independence between the two chambers but also realizes the purpose of the mixed gas recovery chamber 22a delivering gas into the mixing chamber 21a, ensures that the fuel sprayed by the fuel injector 23b and the heated gas form a tumble flow in the mixing chamber 21a to fully mix and atomize, and avoids overflow of the mixed gas.
