Description

[0001] The present application relates to the field of diesel engines, more particularly, it relates to a novel fuel leakage intelligent control system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous change of customer demand, application scene and the continuous upgrading of emission regulations, the reliability requirement of high-power diesel generator set is higher and higher. Customers are increasingly concerned about the leakage of single pump fuel recycling, so how to recycle and utilize this part of diesel has become the focus of the industry.

[0003] Most of the existing ways to recycle and utilize this part of diesel, such as Figure 1 As shown, mainly install high-level switch 4 and low-level switch 5 in the oil return tank 2, an oil inlet 1 is formed above the oil return tank 2, the recovered diesel oil enters the oil return tank 2 from the oil inlet 1, when the diesel oil level reaches the high-level switch 4, the high-level switch 4 is closed, thereby opening the electric valve 6 installed at the bottom oil outlet, so that the diesel oil is discharged from the bottom oil outlet to the daily oil tank; when the diesel oil level is less than the low-level switch 5, the low-level switch 5 is disconnected, thereby closing the electric valve 6, so that the diesel oil level is higher than the low-level switch. However, this method does not accurately control the electric valve 6, which can easily cause the recovered diesel oil to flow too fast or too slow from the oil return tank 2 to the main oil tank, thereby causing the pressure in the main oil tank to be too large or too small, which can easily cause the main oil tank to expand or shrink, reducing the service life of the main oil tank, and also affecting the pressure in the oil return tank 2, causing the oil return tank 2 to expand or shrink, reducing the service life of the oil return tank 2.

[0012] When the real-time liquid level value in the liquid level period is not consistent with the real-time liquid level value in the previous liquid level period, the real-time liquid level value in the liquid level period is subtracted from the real-time liquid level value in the previous liquid level period to obtain a liquid level difference value, and the real-time opening degree of the electric valve is adjusted according to the liquid level difference value through a PID controller.

[0013] Still further, the method for adjusting the real-time opening degree of the electric valve is that the liquid level difference value is input into the PID controller to obtain an output opening degree, and the output opening degree is mapped into the real-time opening degree.

[0014] Still further, the expression for inputting the liquid level difference value into the PID controller to obtain the output opening degree is,

The liquid level sensor 7 in the present application is an optical liquid level sensor. The highest liquid level value corresponds to the high switch 4, and the lowest liquid level value corresponds to the low switch 5.

[0027] The real-time liquid level value of the fuel return oil is obtained by the liquid level sensor 7, and the real-time liquid level value of the fuel return oil is compared with the highest liquid level value and the lowest liquid level value to trigger the fuel return oil adjustment mechanism to adjust the real-time opening degree of the electric valve 6. The pressure of the fuel from the return tank 2 to the main tank is stabilized, the influence of the fuel flow pressure on the tank is reduced, and the service life of the tank is improved.

[0028] From Figure 3 It can be seen that the switch checking circuit includes an intermediate relay, the positive pole of the external power supply is electrically connected with the negative pole of the external power supply through the series connection of the high switch 4, the low switch 5 and the coil KA of the intermediate relay; the positive pole of the external power supply is electrically connected with the negative pole of the external power supply through the series connection of the second normally open switch KA2 of the intermediate relay and the motor G of the electric valve; the first normally open switch KA1 of the intermediate relay is connected in parallel with the high switch 4.
