[0016] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0017] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the present application comprises a charge air cooler 1, a first four-way valve 2, a second four-way valve 3, a water pump 4 and a control cylinder 5. The air inlet 11 of the charge air cooler 1 is communicated with the air outlet 61 of a diesel engine turbocharger 6 through a pipeline, the air outlet 12 of the charge air cooler 1 is communicated with the air inlet 71 of a diesel engine 7 and the air inlet 51 of the control cylinder 5 through two pipelines respectively. The control cylinder 5 comprises a cylinder body 52, a piston 53 arranged in the cylinder body 52 and a spring 54, both ends of the piston 53 are provided with piston rings 55 to form a seal with the inner wall of the cylinder body 52, the middle part of the piston 53 is provided with a compressed air passage 56 which transversely penetrates the piston, both ends of the spring 54 are fixedly connected with one end of the piston 53 and one end of the cylinder body 52 respectively, the lower side of the control cylinder 5 is provided with a compressed air inlet 57, the first compressed air outlet 581 on the upper side of the control cylinder 5 is communicated with the air inlet 21 of the first four-way valve 2 through a pipeline, and the second compressed air outlet 582 on the upper side of the control cylinder 5 is communicated with the air inlet 31 of the second four-way valve 3 through a pipeline. Since the pressure of the charge air increases with the increase of the load of the diesel engine, the position of the piston 53 in the control cylinder 5 can be changed by the pressure change of the charge air, so as to realize the position conversion of the valve plates of the two four-way valves.

[0018] The first four-way valve 2 and the second four-way valve 3 are both single-acting pneumatic butterfly valves. The lower interface 22 of the first four-way valve 2 is communicated with the cooling water outlet pipe 8, the upper interface 23 of the first four-way valve 2 is communicated with the inlet 131 of the first cooler 13 in the charge air cooler 1 through a pipeline, the inner interface 24 of the first four-way valve 2 is communicated with the outlet 141 of the second cooler 14 in the charge air cooler 1 through a pipeline, the outer interface 25 of the first four-way valve 2 is communicated with the outlet 10 of the diesel engine cooling water system through a pipeline, and a thermostatic valve 9 is further arranged on the pipeline between the outer interface 25 of the first four-way valve 2 and the outlet 10 of the diesel engine cooling water system, the thermostatic valve 9 is a wax type mechanical thermostatic valve, and the temperature control range is 80℃-85℃.

[0019] The first upper interface 32 of the second four-way valve 3 is communicated with the outlet 132 of the first cooler 13 in the charge air cooler 1, the second upper interface 33 thereof is communicated with the inlet 142 of the second cooler 14 in the charge air cooler 1, the first lower interface 34 of the second four-way valve 3 is communicated with the cooling water outlet pipe 8, and the second lower interface 35 thereof is communicated with the cooling water inlet pipe 20; the inlet of the water pump 4 is communicated with the cooling water inlet pipe 20, and the outlet thereof is communicated with the inlet 30 of the diesel engine cooling water system.

[0020] As Figure 1As shown, in its natural state, the outer port 25 of the first four-way valve 2 is connected to its upper port 23, and the inner port 24 of the first four-way valve 2 is connected to its lower port 22. The first upper port 32 and the second upper port 33 of the second four-way valve 3 are connected, and its first lower port 34 and the second lower port 35 are connected. When the diesel engine is running at 0-25% load, i.e., low load, the boost air pressure is low, and the piston 53 in the control cylinder 5 is located at... Figure 1 At the position shown, the compressed air passage 56 is not connected to either the first compressed air outlet 581 or the second compressed air outlet 582 of the control cylinder 5. At this time, neither the first four-way valve 2 nor the second four-way valve 3 can supply air. The cooling water (25℃~36℃) is divided into two paths. One path flows directly from the cooling water inlet pipe 20 through the first lower port 35 and the second lower port 34 of the second four-way valve 3 to the cooling water outlet pipe 8. The other path enters the diesel engine 7 via the water pump 4, cools the various components to 85℃, and then enters the first four-way valve via the thermostatic valve 9. The compressed air enters the first cooler 13 of the turbocharged air cooler 1 through the outer port 25 of valve 2 and then through the upper port 23 of the first four-way valve 2, where it is heated. Afterward, it enters the second cooler 14 through the first upper port 32 and the second upper port 33 of the second four-way valve 3, where it is heated again. Then, it enters the first four-way valve 2 through the outlet 141 of the second cooler 14 and the inner port 24 of the first four-way valve 2, and finally exits through the lower port 22 of the first four-way valve 2 into the cooling water outlet pipe 8. In this mode, the temperature of the diesel engine's compressed air before entering the turbocharged air cooler 1 is approximately 50℃~100℃. After being heated by the first cooler 13 and the second cooler 14, the temperature of the compressed air can reach 65℃~75℃, improving the combustion performance of the diesel engine under low load and reducing fuel consumption by 10~15g / kWh.

[0021] like Figure 2As shown, when the diesel engine is operated at 25% to 75% load, i.e. medium load, the pressure of the supercharged air is increased, the supercharged air pushes the piston 53 in the control cylinder 5 to move to the right to the position shown in the figure, at this time the compressed air passage 56 is communicated with the second compressed air outlet 582 of the control cylinder 5, the first four-way valve 2 is not supplied with air, the outer interface 25 of the first four-way valve 2 is communicated with the upper interface 23 thereof, the inner interface 24 of the first four-way valve 2 is communicated with the lower interface 22 thereof, the second four-way valve 3 is supplied with air, the first upper interface 32 of the second four-way valve 3 is communicated with the first lower interface 34 thereof, and the second upper interface 33 is communicated with the second lower interface 35 thereof. The cooling water is divided into two paths, one path enters the second cooler 14 through the second lower interface 35 and the second upper interface 33 of the second four-way valve 3, and after the supercharged air is cooled, enters the cooling water outlet pipe 8 through the inner interface 24 and the lower interface 22 of the first four-way valve 2, and the other path enters the diesel engine 7 to cool various components and reaches 85°C, enters the first four-way valve 2 through the thermostatic valve 9, and then enters the first cooler 13. Since the temperature of the supercharged air has reached above 100°C when the diesel engine is above 25% load, the supercharged air can be cooled, and then enters the cooling water outlet pipe 8 through the first upper interface 32 and the first lower interface 34 of the second four-way valve 3. In this mode, the temperature of the supercharged air before entering the supercharged air cooler 1 is about 100°C to 200°C, and after being cooled by the first cooler 13 and the second cooler 14, the temperature of the supercharged air can be reduced to 35°C to 45°C, which meets the use requirements of the diesel engine.

[0022] As Figure 3As shown, when the diesel engine is running at 75% to 100% load, i.e. high load, the pressure of the supercharged air is further increased, the supercharged air pushes the piston 53 in the control cylinder 5 to continue moving right to the position shown in the figure, at this time the compressed air passage 56 is in communication with the first compressed air outlet 581 and the second compressed air outlet 582 on the upper side of the control cylinder 5, the first four-way valve 2 and the second four-way valve 3 are both in communication, the outer interface 25 of the first four-way valve 2 is in communication with the lower interface 22, the upper interface 23 is in communication with the inner interface 24, the first upper interface 32 of the second four-way valve 3 is in communication with the first lower interface 34, and the second upper interface 33 is in communication with the second lower interface 35. The cooling water is divided into two paths, one path enters the second cooler 14 through the second four-way valve 3 to cool the supercharged air, after cooling, the water temperature rises to 29-40℃, enters the first cooler 13 through the first four-way valve 2 to cool the supercharged air again, and finally flows to the cooling water outlet pipe 8 through the second four-way valve 3; the other path enters the diesel engine 7 to cool various parts to 85℃, enters the first four-way valve 2 through the thermostat 9, and directly enters the cooling water outlet pipe 8. In this mode, the temperature of the supercharged air of the diesel engine before entering the supercharged air cooler 1 is above 200℃, and a large amount of cooling is required, after being cooled by the first cooler 13 and the second cooler 14, the temperature of the supercharged air can be reduced to 35-45℃, meeting the use requirements of the diesel engine.

[0023] In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, the present application can also have other implementation manners, and any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
