Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of engine accessories, and in particular relates to a front-end gear train structure and a control method for a diesel engine. Background Art
[0002] The front-end gear train of a typical truck diesel engine primarily consists of the crankshaft pulley, generator pulley, water pump, and fan pulleys; for non-independent air conditioning systems, the air conditioning compressor pulley is also included. Power is transmitted via the crankshaft pulley to drive the generator, water pump, and fan. When the electromagnetic clutch of the air conditioning pulley is engaged, the crankshaft pulley also drives the air conditioning compressor through a belt drive. The generator, water pump, and fan in the front-end gear train constitute engine accessories, while the air conditioning compressor constitutes the load. The presence of these accessories creates resistance during diesel engine starting, especially during cold starts, potentially causing starting difficulties. During engine operation, these accessories consume power, hindering energy conservation. The load created by the air conditioning compressor directly consumes some engine power, resulting in energy loss.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN210531036U discloses a diesel engine drag-reducing starting device using synchronizer switching. This device incorporates a synchronizer on the crankshaft free-end pulley, achieving drag-reducing starting through manual operation. However, its structure is relatively complex and inconvenient to operate, making it more suitable for starting construction machinery or stationary diesel engines. Chinese Patent Publication No. 207660681U discloses a generator operating device driven by engine waste energy. This device incorporates an electromagnetic clutch at the power turbine output and at the generator pulley, achieving energy savings through switching.

After reading this description, various equivalent modifications to this description by those skilled in the art fall within the scope defined by the claims appended to this application.

[0027] The crankshaft pulley 1 is connected to the crankshaft 8 via a first electromagnetic clutch. Whether the first electromagnetic clutch is engaged or not determines whether torque is transmitted between the crankshaft pulley 1 and the crankshaft 8. The first electromagnetic clutch is a reverse-acting electromagnetic clutch.

[0028] The first water pump pulley 2 is connected to the water pump shaft 15 via a second electromagnetic clutch, and the second water pump pulley 3 rotates synchronously with the water pump shaft 15. In a forced circulation closed water cooling system, the centrifugal water pump 16 is coaxial with the cooling fan 17, that is, the cooling fan 17 is also connected to the water pump shaft 15. The water pump adopts a centrifugal water pump 16 and maintains the original assembly position, that is, it is fastened to the engine cylinder block; the extended end of the water pump shaft 15 is machined with a shaft shoulder, and the second water pump pulley 3 is slidably fitted on the water pump shaft 15, with the rear end of the second water pump pulley 3 close to the shaft shoulder, and the front end of the second water pump pulley 3 is axially limited by a shaft elastic ring. The second water pump pulley 3 is machined with a belt groove for winding the third synchronous belt 34, and a flat key placed between the water pump shaft 15 and the second water pump pulley 3 is used to transmit torque.
[0029] A second electromagnetic clutch is located at the front end of the water pump shaft 15.

[0032] The power turbine pulley 6 is connected to the power turbine shaft 24 via a fourth electromagnetic clutch. The power turbine 25 is connected in series with the exhaust turbocharger 26. The exhaust inlet of the exhaust turbocharger 26 is bolted to the exhaust manifold flange after the engine's integration. When the engine is operating, the exhaust gas energy drives the radial turbine to rotate, driving the coaxial centrifugal compressor, thereby achieving intake air pressure boosting. The exhaust gas undergoes energy conversion in the radial turbine, reducing its flow rate, temperature, and pressure, and is discharged through the exhaust duct, entering the power turbine 25 inlet. The exhaust gas, still containing kinetic and pressure energy, continues to expand within the power turbine, partially converting it into mechanical energy, driving the power turbine 25 to rotate. After further energy conversion, the exhaust gas enters the engine exhaust manifold through the power turbine 25 exhaust port. The power turbine 25 is fastened to the engine block bracket.
[0033] A fourth electromagnetic clutch is located at the front end of the power turbine shaft 24.

The lead wire of the electromagnetic coil 30 is connected to the engine ECU, and the housing of the electromagnetic coil 31 is secured to the front cover of the air conditioner compressor 38 with multiple screws. The outer cylindrical surface of the pulley body is machined with a fifth belt slot for winding the first timing belt 32 and a sixth belt slot for winding the fourth timing belt 35.
[0035] The first belt groove of the crankshaft pulley 1 is aligned with the fifth belt groove of the air-conditioning compressor pulley 7, around which a first synchronous belt 32 is wound, forming the first pulley transmission mechanism. The tension of the first synchronous belt 32 is adjusted by a kidney-shaped groove located at the bottom of the air-conditioning compressor 38.

The first eccentric tensioner 36 can be mounted on a bracket fixed to the engine block. The third belt groove of the power turbine pulley 6 and the sixth belt groove of the air-conditioning compressor pulley 7 are in the same plane, and the fourth synchronous belt 35 is wound around to form a fourth pulley transmission mechanism. The fourth synchronous belt 35 is adjusted by a second eccentric tensioner 37 arranged above its middle part, and the second eccentric tensioner 37 is installed on a bracket fixed to the engine cylinder block.
[0036] Please combine Figure 3 As shown, the control method based on the above diesel engine front-end gear train structure is as follows:
[0037] The engine ECU determines the diesel engine operating conditions, which are starting condition, idling and low load condition, and high load condition.
[0038] During starting, the starter key is turned to the on position, and the starter switch signal STA is transmitted to the engine ECU. The engine ECU issues a command, energizing the electromagnetic coil of the first electromagnetic clutch, generating electromagnetic force. The force transfer plate is attracted and moves along the guide pin toward the front end of the crankshaft pulley, overcoming the force of the compression spring. A gap is created between the force transfer plate and the pressure plate, preventing crankshaft power transmission and disabling accessories such as the generator, water pump, and fan. At this time, the other electromagnetic clutches are de-energized.
[0039] At the moment the engine starts, accessories such as the generator, water pump and fan do not work, which reduces the starting resistance and ensures the starting performance to a certain extent.
[0040] After the diesel engine is successfully started, the engine ECU determines that the start is successful based on the speed signal from the engine speed sensor (shared with the engine electronic control system). If the speed reaches 500r / min, the ECU issues a command to cut off the power supply to the electromagnetic coil of the first electromagnetic clutch. At the same time, the third electromagnetic clutch is energized, the electromagnetic force of the first electromagnetic clutch disappears, and the compression spring force pushes the transmission plate along the sliding guide pin to close the pressure plate. The crankshaft pulley rotates with the crankshaft, and the accessories enter normal operation. The power transmission line is: crankshaft → flat key → drive plate → pressure plate → transmission plate → transmission pin → crankshaft pulley → accessory operation.
[0041] After successful starting, it ensures that the generator (one of the car's power sources, connected in parallel with the battery) can supply power to the vehicle's electrical system in a timely manner.
[0042] During idle and light-load conditions, the coolant temperature sensor detects the coolant temperature, with a threshold set at 80°C (selectable between 80 and 85°C). When the coolant temperature is below 80°C, the engine enters the idle warm-up phase, the second electromagnetic clutch is de-energized, the engine enters the small-cycle phase, and the water pump and fan do not operate. When the engine coolant temperature rises to approximately 80°C, the engine cooling system enters the large-cycle phase, the second electromagnetic clutch is energized, and the second pulley drive mechanism drives the cooling water pump and fan to operate normally, shortening the warm-up time. Since the water pump and fan accessories are not operating during the idle warm-up phase, energy conservation is achieved to a certain extent.
[0043] Under high-load conditions, the engine ECU determines the diesel engine speed and accelerator pedal opening based on the accelerator pedal position sensor and engine speed sensor signals. By setting pedal position and speed thresholds, the ECU determines that the engine is operating under high load when the accelerator pedal position sensor signal exceeds the threshold or the diesel engine speed exceeds the threshold. Under these conditions, more fuel is injected into the engine cylinders, generating greater heat during the combustion cycle, causing the coolant to heat up quickly and resulting in more exhaust gas energy.
[0044] When the first electromagnetic clutch is energized, the crankshaft pulley is inoperative. When the fourth electromagnetic clutch is energized, the power turbine pulley operates, and accessories such as the generator, water pump, and fan are directly driven by the power turbine via the second generator pulley and the second water pump and fan pulley. The second and third electromagnetic clutches can be energized or de-energized.
[0045] In the above-mentioned idle and low-load conditions, or high-load conditions, as long as the air conditioning switch signal is turned on, the fifth electromagnetic clutch is energized, so that the crankshaft or power turbine provides power to the air conditioning compressor to achieve cooling. In the idle and low-load conditions, the second electromagnetic clutch is also energized, and the fan is always working to ensure the normal operation of the air conditioning system condenser.
[0046] During diesel engine operation, the engine idles for approximately 25% of the time. If the temperature is low and the wind speed is high, the coolant temperature at idle may drop below 80°C, rendering the water pump and fan inoperative and improving engine efficiency. The present invention eliminates the thermostat in conventional diesel engine water cooling systems, simplifying the structure and reducing costs. During normal operation, exhaust gas removes 25% to 45% of the heat, and the exhaust temperature is 700 to 900K. Under high-load conditions, an exhaust-driven power turbine is used to drive accessories such as the generator, water pump, and fan. When air conditioning is required, the power turbine also drives the system, achieving energy savings and reducing consumption.
