Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engine cooling liquid inlet devices, and particularly relates to a high-throughput and high-steady-pressure three-way cooling liquid inlet mechanism. Background Art
[0002] With the gradual popularization and application of current high-power engine technologies, especially for high-power engines with increasing integration and smaller volumes, the cooling requirements for each section are more stringent and precise. Not only is the demand for coolant flux large, but also due to the increasing refinement, and because of the large fuel consumption of high-power engines, and it seems that the cooling design requirements or precision of each pipeline have reached their limits. Therefore, if the liquid inlet mechanism, especially above a three-way, has insufficient hydraulic pressure, liquid volume, different resistances, or poor stability in the divided sections, it is easy to cause unfavorable coolant circulation in a certain section and poor cooling effect. In the light case, the poor cooling effect affects the engine efficiency, and in the severe case, continuous high temperature in a certain area affects the safety of the overall machine performance. Moreover, if the coolant circulation in a certain section is too fast, it will also cause waste and reduce the overall cooling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0028] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, a high-throughput and high-steady-pressure three-way cooling liquid inlet mechanism includes a liquid inlet main pipe 2. A first shunt pipe 1 and a second shunt pipe 4 are provided at the rear of the liquid inlet main pipe 2. The center line of the first shunt pipe is perpendicular to the center line of the liquid inlet main pipe. The center line of the lower part of the second shunt pipe is perpendicular to the center line of the liquid inlet main pipe. The right end of the first shunt pipe is connected to the left side of the liquid inlet main pipe through a bent pipe section 1-3. The center line of the first shunt pipe is horizontally distributed, and the center line of the lower part 3-1 of the second shunt pipe is vertically distributed. The center line of the first shunt pipe and the center line of the lower part of the second shunt pipe are coplanar. The vertical cross-sectional area of the first shunt pipe gradually decreases from its right end 1-1 to its left end 1-2. The side surface of the second shunt pipe is a smooth stepped shape, as Figure 8As shown in the figure; the rear side of the first shunt pipe is distributed with an L-shaped shunt inlet pipe; the L-shaped shunt inlet pipe includes a first shunt inlet 5 distributed in the middle of the first shunt pipe and a second shunt inlet 6 distributed at the left end of the first shunt pipe. The top end line and the bottom end line of the first shunt pipe form an included angle ∠a; ∠a is 2 to 5°, such as 2.5° or 3° or 3.5°, etc. In this embodiment, ∠a is preferably 2.5°. Vertically cutting downward from the middle of the second shunt inlet, the cross-sectional area of the corresponding first shunt pipe is S1; vertically cutting downward from the middle of the first shunt inlet, the cross-sectional area of the corresponding first shunt pipe is S2; the cross-sectional area of the right end of the first shunt pipe is S3; the cross-sectional area of the right end of the elbow section is S4; the cross-sectional area of the lower end of the second shunt pipe is S5; S1:S2:S3:S4:S5 = 870 - 890:1560 - 1580:1880 - 1900:1700 - 1720:850 - 870. Or optionally, S1:S2:S3:S4:S5 = 880 - 885:1570 - 1575:1890 - 1895:1710 - 1716:860 - 865. In this embodiment, S1:S2:S3:S4:S5 = 884:1573; 1893:1715:862 is preferably. The top inlet 4 of the second shunt pipe, the first shunt inlet, and the second shunt inlet are vertically upwardly opened; the total inlet opening of the inlet main pipe is opened in the front-back direction.
[0029] The following data was obtained by assembling the present invention onto a six-cylinder engine for testing:
[0030] As Figure 10 shown, the flow rates of the six cylinders are respectively stable at 1.93 m / s, 1.92 m / s, 1.96 m / s, 1.91 m / s, 1.96 m / s, and 1.99 m / s. The maximum flow rate deviation of each cylinder is only 0.08 m / s, ensuring the uniformity of cooling for each cylinder, improving the consistency of the operation of each cylinder, and thus improving the overall efficiency of the engine. This is mainly due to the reasonable design of the present invention, and further improves the uniformity of the flow rates of each cylinder.
[0031] As Figure 11 shown, on the left is the flow rate diagram of the intake - intake valve bridge region, and on the right is the flow rate diagram of the exhaust - exhaust bridge region. The most important problem to be solved is the flow rate problem in the exhaust - exhaust bridge region. As can be seen from the figure, the flow rate in the exhaust - exhaust bridge region is as high as 4.8 m / s, which effectively ensures the efficient and rapid control and distribution of water volume, ensuring that there is more cooling water for the exhaust bridge region that requires strong cooling, and thus improving the overall heat transfer coefficient and controlling the flow resistance. This also benefits from the reasonable design of the structure of this application, reflecting that the present invention has the ability to provide continuous high throughput and high stability for the exhaust - exhaust bridge region of the engine.
[0032] To better demonstrate the beneficial effects of the present invention, the applicant replaced the existing six-channel cooling liquid inlet mechanism, such as Figure 12 shown in the structural schematic diagram, with the six-channel cooling liquid inlet mechanism in Figure 12 . Regarding the relevant data of the same six-cylinder engine, as shown in Figures 13 to 14 , it can be seen from the figure that:
[0033] As shown in Figure 13 , the flow rates of the six branch liquid inlets a, b, c, d, e, and f of the six-channel cooling liquid inlet mechanism vary greatly, resulting in the average flow rates of the six cylinders being stably at 1.53 m / s, 1.64 m / s, 1.77 m / s, 1.79 m / s, 1.92 m / s, and 2.13 m / s respectively. The maximum flow rate deviation of each cylinder reaches 0.6 m / s, which cannot ensure the uniformity of cooling for each cylinder and the consistency of operation of each cylinder, and will reduce the overall efficiency of the engine. This is mainly because the existing six-channel cooling liquid inlet mechanism cannot meet the cooling requirements of the relevant characteristics of high-power engines.
[0034] As shown in Figure 14 , the left side is the flow rate diagram of the intake - intake valve bridge area, and the right side is the flow rate diagram of the exhaust - exhaust bridge area. The most important problem to be solved is the flow rate problem in the exhaust - exhaust bridge area. As can be seen from the figure, when using the existing six-channel cooling liquid inlet mechanism, the flow rate in the exhaust - exhaust bridge area will naturally be relatively low, only 3.9 m / s as shown in the figure. This will cause the high-power engine to be unable to effectively achieve rapid control and distribution of water volume, and cannot ensure that there is more cooling water (flow rate) for the exhaust bridge area that requires strong cooling, thereby reducing the overall heat transfer coefficient, etc. This also reflects that the existing six-channel cooling liquid inlet mechanism cannot effectively provide the required continuous high flux and high stability for the exhaust - exhaust bridge area of high-power engines.
