Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates generally to the field of diesel engine technology, and more specifically to a composite base and a diesel engine power unit. Background Technology

[0002] The common base is a crucial component of the diesel engine power unit, used to support and rigidly connect the diesel engine, generator (power generation unit), intermediate support (propulsion unit), auxiliary equipment, and most other components. The common base needs sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure stable and safe operation of the system. Simultaneously, vibrations generated by the diesel engine during operation are transmitted to the hull structure through the common base and then diffused into the water. Therefore, the common base also plays a key role in reducing hull vibrations and improving comfort.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used common base for the device is a rectangular slatted structure welded from steel plates, which is large, heavy, and has a single function. As diesel power units continue to develop towards compactness, lightweighting, and modularity, more stringent requirements are being placed on the size and weight of the common base.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a composite base and a diesel engine power unit to at least partially solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Figures 1 to 5 A composite base according to this application is shown for mounting a diesel engine power unit, which includes a diesel engine 100 and a generator 120.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 The composite base includes a base plate 130, two web plates 140, two sealing plates, two mounting panels 160, a sealing strip 170, and a pad 180.

[0064] The web plate 140 is spaced apart along the width direction Y of the base plate 130 and extends along the length direction X of the base plate 130. The bottom edge of the web plate 140 is connected to the edge of the base plate 130 parallel to the length direction X. The bottom edge of the sealing plate is connected to the base plate 130, and the two sides of the sealing plate are respectively connected to the web plate 140. The two sealing plates are spaced apart along the length direction X. The base plate 130, the web plate 140 and the sealing plate surround and define an oil pan groove 131 for use as the oil pan of the diesel engine 100.

[0065] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the mounting panel 160 and the base plate 130 are spaced apart along the height direction Z, and the two mounting panels 160 are spaced apart along the width direction Y. The mounting panel 160 is connected to the top edge of the web plate 140. The mounting panel 160 is provided with a first mounting interface 161 for connecting to the diesel engine 100's engine mount 101, and a vibration isolator 103 is provided at the bottom of the mounting panel 160. The sealing strip 170 is connected to the top edge of the sealing plate for sealing connection with the diesel engine 100's engine mount 101. The pad block 180 is provided with a second mounting interface 181 for connecting to the generator 120.

[0066] According to the composite base of this application, a base plate 130, a web plate 140, and a sealing plate surround and restrict an oil pan groove 131, which serves as the oil pan of the diesel engine 100. It is connected to the diesel engine 100's engine mount 101 via the first mounting interface 161 of the mounting panel 160. Combined with the sealing strip 170, the diesel engine 100 is sealed to the composite base, thus integrating the oil pan function of the diesel engine 100 into the composite base. This reduces the overall weight and height of the diesel engine power unit, saving installation space and manufacturing costs, and facilitating the maintenance of the diesel engine 100. Compared to existing diesel engine 100 oil pans, this composite base has greater weight, strength, and rigidity, which helps reduce the noise of the diesel engine 100. Furthermore, the composite base integrating the diesel engine 100's oil pan function is connected to the generator 120 via the second mounting interface 181 of the pad block 180, integrating the generator 120 and the diesel engine 100 onto the composite base, resulting in a compact structure. The mounting panel 160 is mounted on the hull or other structure via the vibration isolator 103, which helps to reduce the vibration of the diesel engine 100.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The top surface of the mounting panel 160 is provided with a sealing groove 162, which communicates with the oil pan groove 131. The inner bottom surface of the sealing groove 162 is used to mate with the bottom surface of the engine mount 101 of the diesel engine 100. The end of the sealing strip 170 extends into the sealing groove 162. After the diesel engine 100 is installed, the bottom surface of the engine mount 101 of the diesel engine 100 is embedded in the top surface of the mounting panel 160, and the sealing strip 170 is located at both ends of the engine mount 101 of the diesel engine 100 and is connected to the engine mount 101 by an adhesive (such as glue), thereby sealing the diesel engine 100 and the oil pan groove 131 and preventing lubricating oil from leaking between the diesel engine 100 and the composite base.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Multiple transverse baffles 132 are provided inside the oil tank 131, and the multiple transverse baffles 132 are spaced apart along the length direction X. The sides of the transverse baffles 132 are connected to the web plate 140, and the bottom edge of the transverse baffles 132 is connected to the base plate 130. The arrangement of the transverse baffles 132 separates the lubricating oil in the oil tank 131, reduces the fluctuation of the lubricating oil when the composite base shakes, and thus reduces noise.

[0069] Reference Figure 3 An oil pan 131 is provided with an oil pipe 133 for drawing lubricating oil from the oil pan 131 to the diesel engine 100 for lubrication. The sealing plates include a first sealing plate 150 located at one end of the base plate 130 and a second sealing plate 151 located in the middle of the base plate 130. (Combined) Figure 2 As shown, the first sealing plate 150 is provided with an oil pump interface 152 for connecting to the oil pump 102 of the diesel engine 100, and the oil pipe 133 is connected to the oil pump interface 152. When the diesel engine 100 starts, the oil pump 102 draws lubricating oil from the oil pan 131 through the oil pipe 133 into the diesel engine 100, thereby lubricating the power components inside the diesel engine 100. Then, the lubricating oil flows back into the oil pan 131 under the action of gravity. Therefore, the composite base according to this application integrates the oil pan and lubrication system of the diesel engine 100, with a compact structure, simplified lubrication system, reduced cost, and reduced failures.

[0070] Reference Figure 3 The lubricating oil pipe 133 is equipped with a filter 134 to filter the lubricating oil in the oil sump 131, preventing impurities such as metal shavings from entering the lubricating oil system. Furthermore, the first sealing plate 150 is provided with a separator interface 153 for connection to a separator and a filler port 154. During maintenance of the diesel engine 100, personnel connect the separator to the separator interface 153 to separate impurities from the lubricating oil in the oil sump 131. (Refer to...) Figure 4The web plate 140 is provided with a drain hole 143 to facilitate the discharge of waste oil. The staff can then add lubricating oil to the oil tank 131 through the filler port 154 to replace the lubricating oil and complete the maintenance of the diesel engine 100.

[0071] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 The web plate 140 is provided with a maintenance hole 142, which facilitates the maintenance of diesel engine 100 components and the cleaning of oil tank 131 by the staff. The web plate 140 is also provided with a level gauge 144 to help the staff determine the lubricating oil level in the oil tank 131.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The oil tank 131 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 135, which is connected to the web plate 140 and the bottom plate 130 respectively, and the first reinforcing rib 135 is spaced apart along the length direction X. Specifically, the side edges of the first reinforcing rib 135 are connected to the inner walls of the two web plates 140 respectively, and the bottom edge of the first reinforcing rib 135 is connected to the bottom plate 130. The provision of the first reinforcing rib 135 strengthens the connection between the bottom plate 130 and the web plate 140, enhances the structural strength of the oil tank 131, and helps reduce noise.

[0073] The composite base according to this application also includes two reinforcing members 190. Each reinforcing member 190 includes a reinforcing plate 191 and a connecting plate 192. The reinforcing plate 191 is parallel to the width direction Y, and its two sides are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two web plates 140. The bottom edge of the reinforcing plate 191 is connected to the bottom plate 130. The connecting plate 192 is horizontally arranged, with both ends connected to the inner walls of the two web plates 140, and its bottom surface connected to the top edge of the reinforcing plate 191. The arrangement of the connecting plate 192 and the reinforcing plate 191 results in a T-shaped cross-section of the reinforcing member 190 along the width direction Y, further strengthening the connection between the web plates 140 and the bottom plate 130, as well as between the web plates 140 themselves. Furthermore, the two reinforcing members 190 are respectively located in the middle of the bottom plate 130 and at the end furthest from the first sealing plate 150. In other words, the two reinforcing members 190 are located at both ends of the generator 120 when the generator 120 is mounted on the composite base. Therefore, the reinforcement members 190 enhance the structural strength of the portion of the composite base below the generator 120 according to this application, so as to meet the load-bearing requirements of the generator 120 on the composite base according to this application.

[0074] To further enhance the structural strength of the composite base located below the generator 120 during installation, a second reinforcing rib 193 is provided between the two reinforcing members 190. The second reinforcing ribs 193 are spaced apart along the length direction X, and are respectively connected to the web plate 140 and the base plate 130. Specifically, the side edges of the second reinforcing ribs 193 are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two web plates 140, and the bottom edge of the second reinforcing ribs 193 is connected to the top surface of the base plate 130.

[0075] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 The outer wall of the web 140 is provided with ribs 141 arranged at X intervals along the length direction. The ribs 141 are connected to the bottom surface of the mounting panel 160, thereby improving the connection strength between the web 140 and the mounting panel 160 and improving the load-bearing capacity of the composite base according to this application for the diesel engine power unit.

[0076] Optionally, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The mounting panel 160 is provided with a third mounting interface 163 for connecting the lifting lug 104, which facilitates the installation of the lifting lug 104 for hoisting the composite base according to this application.

[0077] Figure 2 A diesel engine power unit according to this application is shown, including the aforementioned composite base, a diesel engine 100, and a generator 120. The diesel engine 100's foot 101 is connected to a mounting panel 160 via a first mounting interface 161, and the foot 101 is sealed to a sealing strip 170 to seal the oil pan 131. The generator 120 is connected to a pad 180. The diesel engine power unit according to this application saves space between the diesel engine 1 and the composite base, has a compact structure, reduces the overall weight of the diesel engine power unit, facilitates maintenance, and has low operating noise.
