Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of diesel engine manufacturing, and particularly relates to a diesel engine sliding bearing temperature monitoring and protection device, especially a hydraulic pump for a low-speed engine on a ship. BACKGROUND

[0002] To actively respond to the challenge of ship pollution emission, especially the strict limitation of diesel engine exhaust emission, the Chinese shipbuilding industry has effectively met the Tier III emission standard of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) through independent technological innovation and the selection of exhaust treatment devices such as selective catalytic reduction systems through independent research and development. At the same time, through the upgrading of technology to change the fuel injection mode of the diesel engine, the traditional fuel injection mode of chain wheel driving camshaft to drive the fuel booster pump is abandoned, and a hydraulic oil direct drive fuel injection system is adopted, and the sequential control injection of multiple oil heads of a single cylinder is realized through the electromagnetic valve, so as to realize accurate control.

[0003] In the field of high-end diesel engine technology, internationally renowned enterprises such as MAN and WinGD all adopt hydraulic oil common rail technology, in which the hydraulic oil pressure in the common rail reaches 300 bar to drive the fuel injection valve and exhaust valve of the diesel engine. To ensure stable operation of the diesel engine, the hydraulic oil pressure needs to be continuously maintained at 200 to 300 bar. Before the diesel engine starts, the required hydraulic oil pressure is established by an electronic pump, and once the main engine is running, it is switched to a machine-mounted pump to continuously supply hydraulic oil and maintain the hydraulic oil pressure at about 300 bar. Therefore, the working state of the machine-mounted pump directly affects the operation of the diesel engine, especially when the main engine consumes more hydraulic oil under high load, in order to ensure the common rail hydraulic oil pressure, the machine-mounted pump needs to run at full load. However, when the machine-mounted pump runs at full load, the bearing load will increase, and in order to prevent dry grinding, the temperature, lubrication and other parameters of the bearing need to be monitored at all times. Since the diesel engine has a complex internal environment during operation, it is not convenient to observe and maintain, and when the bearing temperature continues to rise, the service life of the bearing will be reduced, and in extreme cases, it may need to be stopped for cooling inspection. However, for ships sailing at sea, especially in busy waterways, the shutdown of the diesel engine will directly affect the safety of ship navigation.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively monitor and manage the working state of the machine-mounted pump and its bearing while ensuring efficient and stable operation of the diesel engine, and avoid potential safety risks caused by excessive bearing temperature, has become a key problem to be solved in the current diesel engine technology field. SUMMARY

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a diesel engine sliding bearing temperature monitoring and protection device that monitors the temperature of the diesel engine sliding bearing and automatically increases the amount of lubricating oil for cooling when the bearing overheats, thereby reducing the bearing temperature and ensuring the normal operation of the diesel engine.
