DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] Further details are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: EMBODIMENT

[0043] As shown in the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 A methanol tank delivery pump assembly includes an oil tank cover plate 2, which is in the shape of a circular plate and is inserted and installed at the port 11 of the oil tank body 1. The oil tank body 1 is made of corrosion-resistant metal material and is hollow inside for storing methanol fuel.

[0044] As shown in the accompanying drawings: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The oil tank cover plate 2 is provided with an oil supply pipe 21, one end of which is connected in communication with an external oil supply system, and the other end of which penetrates through the oil tank cover plate 2 and is connected in communication with the oil tank body 1. The external oil supply system delivers methanol fuel into the oil tank body 1 through the oil supply pipe 21.

[0045] The bottom surface of the oil tank cover plate 2 is provided with an oil pump 3 connected in communication with the oil tank body 1. The oil pump 3 is made of a metal sealed shell and is completely isolated from the inside of the oil tank body 1 to prevent the penetration and corrosion of methanol fuel. The oil pump 3 includes a pump body 31 at the upper end and a brushless motor 32 at the lower end. The output end of the brushless motor 32 is drivingly connected with the rotating part of the pump body 31. The brushless motor 32 can dynamically adjust the rotating speed to accurately match the oil delivery demand under different working conditions and improve the energy efficiency ratio and working condition adaptability of the delivery pump assembly.

[0046] The top end of the pump body 31 is provided with an oil outlet pipe 33 and a plug-in connector 34, which penetrate through the oil tank cover plate 2 and are connected with external pipelines, respectively. The bottom end of the pump body 31 is provided with an oil inlet branch pipe 35 extending to the bottom of the oil tank body 1. The oil pump 3, the oil supply pipe 21 and the oil outlet pipe 33 are integrated on the oil tank cover plate 2, so that the oil pump 3 delivers methanol fuel in the oil tank body 1.

[0047] As shown in the accompanying drawings: Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the oil pump 3 has an oil supply branch pipe 36 connected to the oil supply pipe 21 on its side wall. The oil supply branch pipe 36, the oil inlet branch pipe 35, and the oil outlet pipe 33 are all equipped with solenoid valves 37 at their connection points with the oil pump 3. There are three solenoid valves 37, which are used to control the opening or closing of the oil supply branch pipe 36, the oil inlet branch pipe 35, and the oil outlet pipe 33, respectively.

[0048] The side wall of the oil pump 3 is also equipped with a circuit control module 38 connected to the internal circuit of the oil pump 3. The circuit control module 38 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 37. The circuit control module 38 is used to control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 37. The circuit control module 38 controls the conduction state of the oil inlet and outlet of the oil pump 3 through the direction of the coil current, and switches the oil pump 3 to the oil extraction mode or the oil pumping mode. In the oil pumping mode, the oil supply branch pipe 36 is used as the oil inlet and the oil inlet branch pipe 35 is used as the oil outlet, which can pump external methanol fuel into the oil tank 1. In the oil extraction mode, the oil inlet branch pipe 35 is turned into the oil inlet and the oil outlet pipe 33 is used as the oil outlet, which can actively extract methanol fuel to the external pipeline. The different working modes of the oil pump 3 are switched by the direction of the coil current, so that the oil pump 3 can adapt to complex working conditions.

[0049] As attached Figure 5 As shown, a sealing step 22 is provided on the top surface of the fuel tank cover plate 2. The sealing step 22 is annular and is fitted onto the outer wall of the oil outlet pipe 33. A fluorosilicone rubber sealing ring 23 is provided between the oil outlet pipe 33 and the sealing step 22. The fluorosilicone rubber sealing ring 23 is a high-performance sealing element that combines the chemical resistance of fluororubber and the temperature resistance of silicone rubber. It has extremely strong corrosion resistance to methanol fuel. At the same time, the fluorosilicone rubber sealing ring 23 and the sealing step 22 are interference-fitted to form a dynamic sealing structure. When the oil pump 3 draws methanol fuel through the oil outlet pipe 33 to the external pipeline, it effectively prevents the risk of methanol fuel leakage from the connection.

[0050] As attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 6 As shown, the top surface of the fuel tank cover 2 is also provided with a return oil pipe 24 connected to the fuel tank body 1, and the return oil pipe 24 is connected to the external oil pipeline to realize bidirectional return flow between the delivery pump assembly and the external system, dynamically balance the pressure difference inside and outside the fuel tank body 1, and avoid the risk of fuel supply interruption or fuel accumulation caused by air pressure fluctuations.

[0051] The top surface of the fuel tank cover plate 2 is also provided with an exhaust pipe 25 connected to the fuel tank body 1, and an exhaust valve 251 is provided at the opening of the exhaust pipe 25, which realizes the dynamic balance adjustment of the air pressure inside and outside the fuel tank body 1. Through the controllable gas emission strategy, the air pressure inside the fuel tank body 1 is effectively maintained, reducing methanol vapor volatilization loss and the decrease in transportation efficiency caused by pressure fluctuations.

[0052] The bottom surface of the oil tank cover plate 2 is respectively provided with an oil level detection assembly 4, a positioning member 26 and a bracket 5.

[0053] The oil level detection assembly 4 comprises a sliding rod 41 fixed to the bottom surface of the oil tank cover plate 2, which is vertically arranged along the height direction of the oil tank body 1. Two detection members 42 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the sliding rod 41, which are high position detection position and low position detection position respectively. The two detection members 42 are electrically connected with the circuit control module 38. A float 43 which can slide up and down is arranged on the outer wall of the sliding rod 41. The float 43 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 41 and slides up and down along the axis with the change of the oil level. When the oil level rises to the high position, the float 43 pushes the detection member 42 at the upper end to trigger the signal, and the circuit control module 38 cuts off the oil pumping mode to prevent the methanol fuel from overflowing in the oil tank body 1. When the oil level drops to the low position, the float 43 triggers the detection member 42 at the lower end to terminate the oil pumping mode to avoid dry pumping. The mechanical oil level detection and the cooperative design of the electric control module realize the automatic switching of the working mode of the oil pump 3.

[0054] The bracket 5 vertically extends to the bottom of the oil tank body 1. An electric heating belt 51, a phase change energy storage module 52 and a temperature sensor 53 are integrally arranged on the end of the bracket 5. The electric heating belt 51 is wound in the annular groove of the inner wall of the bracket 5 and directly contacts with the methanol fuel. The electric heating belt adopts PTC ceramic heating element which has the self-limiting temperature characteristic. When the current passes through, the resistance increases with the increase of the temperature to automatically limit the power output and avoid overheating. The phase change energy storage module 52 adopts paraffin-based organic phase change material (PCM) with the phase change temperature set to 25-35℃ (matching the evaporation temperature interval of methanol) and the phase change latent heat value ≥200kJ / kg to ensure that the single heat absorption / heat release cycle can adjust the temperature fluctuation ±5℃. The phase change energy storage module is packaged in a high-thermal-conductivity graphite composite shell and is arranged adjacent to the electric heating belt 51. When the ambient temperature rises to cause the methanol vapor pressure to rise, the PCM absorbs the excess heat to complete the solid-liquid phase change to inhibit the methanol fuel gasification. When the ambient temperature is low, the PCM releases the stored heat to maintain the flowability of the methanol at the low temperature section. The temperature sensor 53 is located at the center of the bottom end of the bracket 5 and directly contacts with the methanol liquid to monitor the fuel temperature in real time.

[0055] Through the cooperative design of the phase change energy storage module 52, the electric heating belt 51 and the temperature sensor 53, the latent heat characteristic of the phase change material is used to realize the constant temperature regulation of the methanol fuel. When the ambient temperature rises to cause the methanol saturated vapor pressure to rise significantly, the phase change energy storage module 52 absorbs the excess heat to inhibit the fuel from excessive gasification. When the temperature decreases, the heat release function of the phase change energy storage module maintains the flowability of the fuel at the low temperature section of the oil tank body 1. The dynamic heat balance mechanism effectively solves the problem of out-of-control gas-liquid phase change of the methanol caused by the temperature fluctuation.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 1, the oil tank body 1 is provided with an oil tank cover plate 2 and an oil pump 3. Figure 7 and FIG. 2, the oil tank cover plate 2 is provided with an oil level detection assembly 4, a positioning member 26 and a bracket 5. Figure 8As shown, the positioning member 26 is in the shape of an arc piece, and the number of the positioning member 26 is four, and the four positioning members 26 are respectively located at the outer periphery of the oil tank cover plate 2, the end of the positioning member 26 is in the shape of a cone, and the end of the positioning member 26 is provided with a guide convex rib 261 close to the axis of the oil tank cover plate 2.

[0057] The inner wall of the port 11 of the oil tank body 1 is fixed with a limiting ring 12, the upper surface of the limiting ring 12 is provided with a ring groove 121 for embedding the end of the positioning member 26, the cross section of the ring groove 121 is V-shaped, which is convenient for closely matching the cone-shaped end of the positioning member 26, and the geometric shape of the interference fit is used to effectively fill the micro gap existing in the traditional structure.

[0058] The ring groove 121 is provided with a guide slope surface 122 in the shape of an arc close to the axis, and the depth between the guide slope surface 122 and the ring groove 121 gradually becomes shallow, the guide convex rib 261 slides in the guide slope surface 122, and as the guide convex rib 261 rotates along the radial direction of the ring groove 121, the guide convex rib 261 and the guide slope surface 122 will gradually clamp the oil tank cover plate 2, and the cooperation between the guide slope surface 122 and the guide convex rib 261 makes the delivery pump assembly more convenient to maintain and repair, realizes the quick disassembly and alignment of the oil tank cover plate 2 at the port 11 of the oil tank body 1, and significantly improves the installation convenience and assembly efficiency of the delivery pump assembly.

[0061] Working principle

[0062] When the oil pump 3 is in the oil pumping mode, the external oil supply system injects methanol fuel into the oil tank body 1 through the oil supply pipe 21, the circuit control module 38 controls the electromagnetic valve 37 between the oil supply branch pipe 36 and the oil pump 3, so that the oil supply branch pipe 36 is in the on state, the oil pump 3 pressurizes the methanol fuel into the oil tank body 1 through the oil inlet branch pipe 35, and the electromagnetic valve 37 on the oil outlet pipe 33 is in the off state, the float 43 slides upward along the sliding rod 41 as the oil level of the methanol fuel rises, and after the float 43 pushes the upper end detection member 42, the upper end detection member 42 triggers the circuit control module 38 to cut off the oil pumping mode, preventing the methanol fuel from overflowing in the oil tank body 1;
