Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a low-speed diesel engine, in particular to a method for preventing a valve shaft of a one-way valve of a low-speed diesel engine from falling off, belonging to the technical field of low-speed ship diesel engines. Background Art
[0002] Currently, scavenge air manifolds on low-speed marine diesel engines are typically equipped with a check valve. This device restricts fluid flow to the inlet direction, preventing backflow at the outlet. To prevent backflow of scavenge air, the check valve is installed after the drip separator. When air flows normally forward, the check valve opens in response to the airflow. If air flows in the reverse direction, the check valve closes, preventing backflow.
[0003] See also Figure 2 The structure of the one-way valve includes a valve plate 1, a guide block 2, a valve shaft 3 and a baffle 6. Figure 3 The guide block 2 includes an axial hole 4 and an open slot 5 at the top. The valve shaft 3 is inserted into the axial hole 4 and fixed to the guide block 2 by a set bolt 8 passing through the open slot 5. The guide block 2 is fixedly connected to the scavenging manifold 11 by a fixing bolt 7. The upper part of the valve plate 1 is rolled into a circular tube, wrapping the valve shaft 3 inside. The lower part of the valve plate 1 can rotate around the valve shaft 3. When the air flows forward, the valve plate 1 opens the opening on the scavenging manifold 11 forward to allow air to pass through. If the air flows in the reverse direction, the valve plate 1 rotates backward to fit closely to the scavenging manifold 11. Figure 1 , close the opening to prevent air from flowing back. Figure 2 The baffle 6 is fixed to the guide block 2 by bolts 9 and nuts 10 to limit the rotation of the valve plate 1.
[0004] The existing one-way valve has the following shortcomings: when the main engine is running, the valve shaft 3 of the one-way valve often moves and falls due to excessive vibration. The main reasons are analyzed as follows:
[0005] 1) When the valve shaft 3 is installed, it may not fully contact or partially contact the shaft hole 4. The main engine will vibrate during operation, causing the valve shaft 3 to slowly shift to one side and eventually fall out. 2) There is an open slot 5 above the guide block 2. From an assembly perspective, it cannot achieve the same fixed size as a fully closed type, and a gap will be generated. From a processing perspective, although the shaft hole 4 on the guide block 2 has size requirements, if the processing deviation of the valve shaft 3 is too large, a larger gap will be generated, causing the valve shaft 3 to fall off. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a method for preventing the valve shaft of a one-way valve of a low-speed diesel engine from falling off, so that the valve plate is reliably fixed on the valve shaft to prevent the valve shaft from falling off from the guide block due to vibration when the main engine is running, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the reliability of the one-way valve.
