Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of generators, and specifically to a new type of methanol generator set. Background Art

[0002] A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is commonly used in power supply, data centers, factories, and various equipment. A generator set is a set of power generation devices composed of an engine, a generator, and a control system, and is commonly used in scenarios such as power outage backup, power supply in remote areas, and mobile power supply. A new type of methanol generator set is a generator set that uses methanol as fuel. It generates heat by burning methanol, then converts the heat into mechanical energy, and finally converts it into electrical energy by the generator. Compared with some other alternative fuels, methanol has a relatively high energy density, which can provide more energy under the same volume or mass, ensuring a certain level of endurance and power generation efficiency of the generator set.

[0003] In the prior art, when the new type of methanol generator set is working, it is necessary to store a sufficient amount of methanol in the storage tank and transport the methanol to the engine through the feeding system. However, as the amount of methanol transported gradually increases, the liquid methanol in the storage tank will gradually decrease.

One end of each of the four return springs 313 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the four fixing plates 310, and the other end of each of the four return springs 313 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the other side of the four fixing blocks 314. The bottoms of the four limiting frames 317 are fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning ring 309. Every two adjacent ones of the eight support rods 320 form a group. The outer surfaces of the four groups of support rods 320 are respectively movably embedded in the interiors of the four second racks 318. Every two adjacent ones of the eight reinforcing rods 321 form a group. The outer surfaces of the four groups of reinforcing rods 321 are respectively movably embedded in the interiors of the four first racks 315. The tops of the four T-shaped rods 324 are respectively movably embedded in the interiors of the T-shaped grooves 322. The outer surfaces of the cleaning ring 309 and the inner floating plate 323 are respectively movably embedded in the interior of the methanol tank 301.,

[0023] In this embodiment, during use, the cleaning motor 302, the electromagnet 307, the industrial camera 6 and the PLC controller 5 are electrically connected. As Figure 8As shown, a small part of one end of the metal clamping block 312 is embedded in the clamping groove 306 to limit the metal clamping block 312, preventing the position of the metal clamping block 312 from being displaced from the clamping groove 306 due to liquid flow when methanol is added to the methanol tank 301 later, which may affect the subsequent connection between the metal clamping block 312 and the rotating cylinder 305. Two of the scale marks 328 in the horizontal direction are grouped together, and are divided into the first group, the second group, the third group, the fourth group, the fifth group, the sixth group, and the seventh group from top to bottom. Open the valve and transport methanol to the methanol tank 301 through the liquid inlet pipe 329. As the methanol liquid rises, it pushes the inner floating plate 323 and the cleaning ring 309 to move upward. At the same time, the metal clamping block 312 slides upward in the clamping groove 306. According to the observation window, the change in the methanol injection volume in the methanol tank 301 can be seen. When the bottom of the inner floating plate 323 is flush with the first group of scale marks 328, stop injecting methanol, and then start the feeding component 2 and the power generation component 1 to work. As the feeding component 2 transports methanol, the methanol liquid in the methanol tank 301 gradually decreases. The inner floating plate 323 floats on the surface of the methanol liquid and moves downward as the methanol liquid decreases, driving the cleaning ring 309 to move downward on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 305 through the T-shaped rod 324. Start the industrial camera 6 in advance. The industrial camera 6 takes pictures at the observation window. The position movement of the inner floating plate 323 and the cleaning ring 309 can be photographed through the observation window. At the same time, the industrial camera 6 transmits the photographed image to the PLC controller 5. When it is photographed that the inner floating plate 323 moves to the second group of scale marks 328 and the cleaning ring 309 moves to the first group of scale marks 328, the PLC controller 5 will control the electromagnet 307 to be energized to generate magnetic suction, attracting the four metal clamping blocks 312 to move and insert into the corresponding clamping grooves 306. When the metal clamping block 312 moves, it drives the fixing rod 311 and the fixing block 314 to move, compresses the return spring 313, and drives the first rack 315 to move, then drives the meshing adjusting gear 316 below to rotate, further driving the second rack 318 to move outward, pushing the scraping strip 319 outward to make it contact with the inner wall of the methanol tank 301. Then start the cleaning motor 302. The rotation of the output end of the cleaning motor 302 drives the driving gear 303 to rotate, driving the driven gear 304 and the rotating cylinder 305 to rotate on the outer surface of the electromagnet 307. Under the magnetic suction of the electromagnet 307, the metal clamping block 312 is tightly inserted into the clamping groove 306. When the rotating cylinder 305 rotates, it drives the four metal clamping blocks 312 to rotate together, thus driving the fixing plate 310 and the cleaning ring 309 to rotate together, further driving the four scraping strips 319 to rotate, scraping the residual methanol on the inner wall of the methanol tank 301 together, making the residual methanol gather together, and under the action of gravity, flowing downward through the space between the inner floating plate 323 and the inner wall of the methanol tank 301 into the methanol liquid below the inner floating plate 323, thereby cleaning the residual methanol between the first group of scale marks 328 and the second group of scale marks 328.After the output end of the cleaning motor 302 works for a period of time, it will automatically pause and stop cleaning the residual methanol. At the same time, the electromagnet 307 is powered off, the magnetic suction force disappears, the return spring 313 loses the extrusion force, and begins to rebound, pushing the fixed block 314 and the first rack 315 to move backward and reset, pulling the metal latch 312 to move outward, and leaving part of it in the card slot 306 to restore the original state. The first rack 315 drives the adjusting gear 316 to rotate in the reverse direction, and drives the second rack 318 to move in the reverse direction, pulling the scraping strip 319 to reset and separate from the methanol tank 301, preventing excessive friction between the scraping strip 319 and the inner wall of the methanol tank 301 when the inner floating plate 323 and the cleaning ring 309 move downward subsequently, causing unnecessary wear. When the inner floating plate 323 moves to the third set of scale marks 328 and the cleaning ring 309 moves to the second set of scale marks 328, the PLC controller 5 will control the electromagnet 307 to start again, repeating the above working process, so as to clean the residual methanol on the inner wall of the methanol tank 301, reduce methanol residue and waste, and solve the problem that when the new methanol generator set is working, part of the methanol will remain on the inner wall of the storage tank, and this part of the methanol cannot be effectively utilized, resulting in waste of methanol resources and affecting the power generation efficiency. An inner floating plate 323 is arranged inside the methanol tank 301, floating on the methanol liquid surface, which can effectively reduce the contact area between the methanol liquid and the air, reduce the evaporation speed of methanol, reduce the evaporation amount, thereby reducing methanol loss and safety risks, helping to balance the pressure change in the methanol tank 301, and avoiding pressure instability caused by liquid fluctuations.

[0024] Embodiment 2: As Figures 1 - 4 shown, the power generation assembly 1 includes a base 101, a generator body 102 is arranged on the top of the base 101, an engine body 103 is arranged on the outer surface of the generator body 102, an air filter 104 is arranged on the top of the engine body 103, a cooler 105 is arranged on the outer surface of the engine body 103, a control cabinet 106 is arranged on the top of the base 101 near the rear surface, the rear surface of the detection board 4 near the bottom is fixedly installed on the front surface of the base 101, the feeding assembly 2 includes a methanol pump 201, the input end of the methanol pump 201 is connected with a methanol filter 202 through a flange, the input end of the methanol filter 202 is connected with a liquid suction pipe 203 through a flange, the output end of the methanol pump 201 is connected with a flow meter 204 through a flange, the output end of the flow meter 204 is connected with a delivery pipe 205 through a flange, a fixing frame 206 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the delivery pipe 205, one end of the delivery pipe 205 is connected with the engine body 103, the bottoms of the fixing frame 206 and the methanol filter 202 are both fixedly installed on the top of the base 101, one end of the liquid suction pipe 203 is fixedly connected with the outer surface of the methanol tank 301, and the bottom of the methanol pump 201 is installed on the top of the base 101 near the front surface through an auxiliary frame.

[0025] In this embodiment, during operation, the methanol pump 201 is started through the control cabinet 106. The liquid extraction pipe 203 pumps the methanol liquid in the methanol tank 301 into the methanol filter 202 for filtration, and then it is transported through the flowmeter 204 into the delivery pipe 205, and finally delivered into the engine body 103. The methanol filter 202 improves the purity of methanol, and the flowmeter 204 precisely controls the supply amount of methanol. The air filter 104 filters the air entering the engine body 103 to remove particulate pollutants such as dust and impurities. The engine body 103 burns the mixed gas of methanol and air to generate high-temperature and high-pressure gas to push the piston to move, thereby driving the crankshaft to rotate and output mechanical energy to provide power for the generator body 102. Driven by the mechanical energy output by the engine body 103, the generator body 102 converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy to provide power for external loads. The cooler 105 takes away the heat generated by components such as the engine body 103 during operation, prevents the components from being damaged or their performance from deteriorating due to overheating, maintains the unit operating within a suitable temperature range, ensures the reliability and stability of the unit, and realizes methanol power generation.

[0026] Embodiment 3: As Figure 10 shown, a power generation system of a new type of methanol generator set includes: a methanol supply unit 7, an air supply unit 8, a combustion unit 9, a power conversion unit 10, a cooling unit 11, a lubrication unit 12, an electrical control unit 13, a monitoring unit 14, and a main control unit 15; the methanol supply unit 7 is used to store methanol fuel and supply methanol fuel to the combustion unit 9, the air supply unit 8 is used to provide the necessary air to the combustion unit 9 to support the complete combustion of methanol, the combustion unit 9 is used to achieve the mixing and combustion of methanol and air, the power conversion unit 10 is used to convert the thermal energy generated by the combustion unit 9 into mechanical energy, the cooling unit 11 is used to reduce the temperature of various parts of the power generation system to prevent overheating, the lubrication unit 12 provides lubrication for the moving parts in the power conversion unit 10 to reduce friction and wear, the electrical control unit 13 is used to manage the power transmission and distribution during the power generation process, the monitoring unit 14 monitors the working status and parameters of each part in real time, and the main control unit 15 automatically adjusts the working status of each unit according to the monitoring data collected by the monitoring unit 14.

[0027] In this embodiment, when in use, the methanol supply unit 7 stores methanol fuel and accurately controls the supply to the combustion unit 9, ensuring that the combustion unit 9 has a stable source of methanol fuel to maintain operation. The air supply unit 8 provides sufficient and clean air to the combustion unit 9 to ensure that the fuel is fully burned. The combustion unit 9 fully mixes methanol with air and burns violently, providing a power source for the power conversion unit 10.

The monitoring unit 14 monitors the operating parameters of each part of the power generation system in real time, such as temperature, pressure, speed, etc., and provides the operating status information to the operator so that abnormal situations can be discovered and handled in time. The main control unit 15 coordinates and manages the work of each unit of the power generation system, and issues instructions to each unit according to the set parameters and actual operating conditions to realize the automatic control and optimized operation of the entire power generation system.

[0028] The effects achieved by the entire mechanism and its working principle are as follows: Methanol is transported to the methanol tank 301 through the liquid inlet pipe 329. As the methanol liquid rises, it pushes the inner floating plate 323 and the cleaning ring 309 upward. At the same time, the metal clamping block 312 slides upward in the card slot 306. According to the observation window, the change in the methanol injection volume in the methanol tank 301 can be seen. When the bottom of the inner floating plate 323 is flush with the first set of scale marks 328, the methanol injection stops. The methanol pump 201 is started through the control cabinet 106, and the liquid suction pipe 203 pumps the methanol liquid in the methanol tank 301 into the methanol filter 202 for filtration, and then it is transported to the delivery pipe 205 through the flow meter 204, and finally transported to the engine body 103. The air filter 104 filters the air entering the engine body 103. The engine body 103 generates high-temperature and high-pressure gas by burning the mixed gas of methanol and air, which pushes the piston to move, and then drives the crankshaft to rotate to output mechanical energy, providing power for the generator body 102. The generator body 102 converts mechanical energy into electrical energy to provide power for external loads. The cooler 105 takes away the heat generated by components such as the engine body 103 during operation, realizing methanol power generation. As the feeding assembly 2 transports methanol, the methanol liquid gradually decreases, and the inner floating plate 323 moves downward as the methanol liquid decreases. The cleaning ring 309 is driven by the T-shaped rod 324 to move downward on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 305. The industrial camera 6 is started in advance to capture the position movement of the inner floating plate 323 and the cleaning ring 309, and the captured image is transmitted to the PLC controller 5. When it is captured that the inner floating plate 323 moves to the second set of scale marks 328 and the cleaning ring 309 moves to the first set of scale marks 328, the PLC controller 5 will control the electromagnet 307 to be energized to generate magnetic suction, attracting the four metal clamping blocks 312 to move and insert into the corresponding card slots 306. When the metal clamping blocks 312 move, they drive the fixed rod 311 and the fixed block 314 to move, compress the reset spring 313, and drive the first rack 315 to move, then drive the meshing adjusting gear 316 below to rotate, further driving the second rack 318 to move outward, pushing the scraping strip 319 outward so that it contacts the inner wall of the methanol tank 301. Then the cleaning motor 302 is started. The rotation of the output end of the cleaning motor 302 drives the driving gear 303 to rotate, driving the driven gear 304 and the rotating cylinder 305 to rotate on the outer surface of the electromagnet 307. Under the magnetic suction of the electromagnet 307, the metal clamping blocks 312 are tightly inserted into the card slots 306. When the rotating cylinder 305 rotates, it drives the four metal clamping blocks 312 to rotate together, thereby driving the fixing plate 310 and the cleaning ring 309 to rotate together, further driving the four scraping strips 319 to rotate, scraping the residual methanol on the inner wall of the methanol tank 301 together, making the residual methanol gather together, and under the action of gravity, flowing downward through the space between the inner floating plate 323 and the inner wall of the methanol tank 301 into the methanol liquid below the inner floating plate 323, thereby cleaning the residual methanol between the first set of scale marks 328 and the second set of scale marks 328.After the output end of the cleaning motor 302 works for a period of time, it will automatically pause and stop cleaning the residual methanol. At the same time, the electromagnet 307 is powered off, the magnetic suction disappears, the return spring 313 loses the extrusion force, starts to rebound, pushes the fixed block 314 and the first rack 315 to move backward and reset, pulls the metal latch 312 to move outward, and leaves part of it in the card slot 306 to restore the original state. The first rack 315 drives the adjusting gear 316 to rotate in the reverse direction, and drives the second rack 318 to move in the reverse direction, pulling the scraping strip 319 back to its original position and separating it from the methanol tank 301. When the inner floating plate 323 moves to the third set of scale marks 328 and the cleaning ring 309 moves to the second set of scale marks 328, the PLC controller 5 will control the electromagnet 307 to start again and repeat the above working process to reduce methanol residue and waste.
