[0031] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a spark-ignition methanol engine with low pollutant emissions, comprising four groups of engine cylinders 1, each group of engine cylinders 1 being equipped with a carburetor 2, an exhaust pipe 4 being connected to the back of the engine cylinder 1, and a liquid filling pipe 3 being installed on the outer side of the carburetor 2, and further comprising:
[0032] A fuel booster assembly, which is provided on the engine cylinder 1 and is used to improve the combustion efficiency of methanol;
[0033] The fuel supercharging assembly comprises a combustion chamber 5 located in the middle of the engine cylinder 1, a piston part 6 slidingly connected inside the combustion chamber 5, a hot fire head 7 fixed at the top of the inner cavity of the engine cylinder 1, a first gas conveying pipe 8 fixed inside the engine cylinder 1, a fixed cylinder 9 communicated at the top of the first gas conveying pipe 8, a second gas conveying pipe 10 communicated at the top of the fixed cylinder 9, a one-way valve 30 fixed at the top of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 9, a second notch 29 formed in the engine cylinder 1, a ratchet wheel 18 rotatably connected inside the second notch 29, a fixing part 19 fixed to the inner wall of the ratchet wheel 18, a first notch 20 formed in the engine cylinder 1, a fixed shaft 21 installed inside the first notch 20, a second movable frame 22 and a return spring 23 sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed shaft 21, a fixed plate 24 fixed to one side of the second movable frame 22, a pawl 25 hingedly connected to the outer side of the fixed plate 24 through a torsion spring, a connecting shaft 26 fixed to one side of the second movable frame 22, a connecting head 27 fixed to the outer end of the connecting shaft 26, a plurality of fixed frames 14 installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 9, a first movable frame 15 slidingly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 14, and a plurality of sliding grooves 16 formed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 9, and a connecting frame 17 fixed to the bottom of the first movable frame 15.
[0034] When the engine is running, the piston part 6 will move up and down, and when the piston part 6 moves up, a pressure will be applied to the connecting head 27, so that the second movable frame 22 can be driven to move along the outer surface of the fixed shaft 21 through the connecting shaft 26, at this time, the pawl 25 will be pushed to move by the fixed plate 24, so that the pawl 25 is pressed against the ratchet wheel 18, thereby driving the ratchet wheel 18 to rotate along the inner side of the second notch 29, and when the ratchet wheel 18 rotates, the connecting frame 17 will be pushed to move by the fixing part 19, at this time, the first movable frame 15 will slide along the outer side of the fixed frame 14 by the connecting frame 17, and when a plurality of first movable frames 15 move, the methanol vaporized in the fixed cylinder 9 will be compressed, and by pressurizing the methanol, the combustion can be promoted, and the combustion effect of the methanol can be improved by pressurizing, and by pressurizing, the density and concentration of the methanol can be increased, so that the combustion is more complete.
[0035] As shown in Figure 3 , the second gas conveying pipe 10 is provided with a preheating pipe 28, the second gas conveying pipe 10 is communicated with a spray head 11, and the second gas conveying pipe 10 is installed with an atomizer 12 between the second gas conveying pipe 10 and the spray head 11.
[0036] The preheating pipe 28 is arranged inside the second gas conveying pipe 10, and in the cold state, if the methanol cannot be ignited and combusted quickly after being injected into the engine, the unburned methanol will flow along the cylinder wall, which will damage the lubricating oil film on the surface of the cylinder wall, cause poor lubrication between the cylinder and the ring during the starting process, and cause the sealing performance to decrease, thereby increasing the wear of the cylinder.
[0037] As shown in Figure 5 , the end of the pawl 25 is in extrusion contact with the tooth groove of the ratchet wheel 18, and when the pawl 25 rotates, the fixed plate 24 can block one side of the pawl 25.
[0038] Through the design of the pawl 25, when the pawl 25 extrudes the ratchet wheel 18, the ratchet wheel 18 will be pushed to rotate, and when the pawl 25 retreats, the pawl 25 will rotate and cannot drive the ratchet wheel 18 to move through the cooperation between the pawl 25 and the fixed plate 24, and thus the one-way rotation of the ratchet wheel 18 can be controlled through the reciprocating motion of the pawl 25.
[0039] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 , the reset spring 23 is elastically supported between the second movable frame 22 and the first slot 20, the connecting head 27 is a right triangle, and the piston part 6 is in extrusion contact with the inclined surface of the connecting head 27.
[0040] Through the design of the reset spring 23, the second movable frame 22 has good elastic reset performance, and at this time, since the reset spring 23 is in a compressed state, an elastic force is applied to the second movable frame 22, so that the pawl 25 can be reset through the second movable frame 22.
[0041] As shown in Figure 5 , 7 , the connecting frame 17 passes through the sliding groove 16 and is in sliding connection with the sliding groove 16, the fixed part 19 is in extrusion contact with the connecting frame 17, and when the fixed part 19 extrudes the connecting frame 17, the first movable frame 15 can be driven to slide along the inner cavity of the fixed frame 14.
[0042] Through the cooperation between the fixed part 19 and the connecting frame 17, when the fixed part 19 extrudes the connecting frame 17, the connecting frame 17 will be driven to slide along the inner side of the sliding groove 16, so that the first movable frame 15 can be driven to extend and retract along the inner side of the fixed frame 14 through the connecting frame 17, so as to reciprocate and pressurize the methanol.
[0043] As shown in Figure 2 , the one-way valve 30 communicates with the fixed cylinder 9, the one-way valve 30 only allows the methanol to flow towards the fixed cylinder 9, and the first gas conveying pipe 8 communicates with the vaporizer 2.
[0044] Through the design of the one-way valve 30, when the first movable frame 15 reciprocates to pressurize, the methanol can be prevented from flowing back to the inside of the first gas conveying pipe 8, and through the cooperation between the first gas conveying pipe 8 and the vaporizer 2, and when the first movable frame 15 contracts and the inner side of the fixed frame 14 is fixed, negative pressure is also generated to draw the methanol in the inside of the vaporizer 2 through the first gas conveying pipe 8, which is more convenient for the conveying of the methanol.
[0045] As shown in Figure 3 , 8 , the spray head 11 is fixed at the bottom of the hot fire head 7, the spray head 11 is in the shape of a bowl, and the middle part of the spray head 11 is hollowed out.
[0046] Through the design of the spray head 11, it can surround the bottom end of the hot fire head 7, so that the sprayed methanol will be uniformly sprayed at the bottom of the hot fire head 7, and the burning when the methanol is ignited will be more uniform, so that the burning will be more sufficient.
[0047] As shown in Figure 8 , the inner wall of the spray head 11 is provided with a plurality of groups of circular holes 13, and the circular holes 13 are towards the middle position.
[0048] Through the design of the circular holes 13, the sprayed methanol will converge towards the middle, and the middle corresponds to the ignition part of the hot fire head 7, so that the ignition quality can be improved, and the insufficient burning of the methanol caused by the poor ignition quality can be avoided.
[0049] As shown in Figure 2 , 3 , the liquid adding pipe 3 is connected with the vaporizer 2, the liquid adding pipe 3 is connected with an external oil tank, and is used for conveying the methanol solution to the inside of the vaporizer 2.
[0050] Through the cooperation between the liquid adding pipe 3 and the vaporizer 2, the methanol solution can be conveyed to the inside of the vaporizer 2, and at the same time the methanol solution is vaporized by the vaporizer 2, at this time the methanol liquid fuel will be converted into gaseous fuel, so that it can be introduced into the engine combustion chamber for combustion.
[0051] Working principle:
[0052] First, when the engine is running, the piston part 6 will move up and down, when the piston part 6 moves up, a pressure will be applied to the connecting head 27, so that the second movable frame 22 can be driven to move along the outer surface of the fixed shaft 21 through the connecting shaft 26, at this time the pawl 25 will be pushed to move through the fixed plate 24, so that the pawl 25 extrudes the ratchet 18, thereby driving the ratchet 18 to rotate along the inner side of the second slot 29, when the ratchet 18 rotates, the fixed part 19 will push the connecting frame 17 to move, at this time the connecting frame 17 will drive the first movable frame 15 to slide along the outer side of the fixed frame 14, and then when a plurality of first movable frames 15 move, the methanol vaporized in the fixed cylinder 9 will be compressed, at this time the pressurized methanol will flow towards the second gas pipe 10, and the preheating pipe 28 will be used to preheat the methanol, then the methanol will be atomized into smaller particles through the atomizer 12, when the atomized methanol enters the inside of the shower head 11, it will be uniformly discharged through the round hole 13, finally the methanol will gather in the middle, and the hot fire head 7 will be used to ignite the methanol, by improving the ignition effect and pressurizing the methanol, the methanol combustion rate is improved, thereby reducing pollution emissions.
