[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, the micro-combustor for a diesel engine flame intake heating device includes an atomizing cover 1, an atomizing net 2, an electric heating plug 20, an air distributor 7, an air inlet cover 9 and a flame cylinder 10. The atomizing cover 1 is provided with an air inlet hole, an ignition oil channel 21, an oil inlet channel 22 and an evaporation oil hole 23. The ignition oil channel 21, the oil inlet channel 22 and the evaporation oil hole 23 are in communication. An evaporation oil pipe 5 is arranged in the evaporation oil hole 23. Fuel enters the ignition oil channel 21 and is sprayed on the atomizing net 2, and the remaining fuel enters the evaporation oil pipe 5. The bottom edge of the air distributor 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet cover 9, and an air inlet cavity 13 is formed between the air distributor 7 and the air inlet cover 9. The top end of the air inlet cover 9 is connected to an external component through an air distribution flange 3. The air distribution flange 3 is arranged on the atomizing cover 1. An evaporation pipe 8 is arranged on the air distributor 7. The evaporation oil pipe 5 is located in the air inlet cavity 13, and the outlet end of the evaporation oil pipe 5 is inserted into the evaporation pipe 8. The air distribution flange 3 is provided with an air distribution hole 18. A plurality of flame stabilizing wings 6 are axially and uniformly arranged on the air distributor 7. The inner cavity of the atomizing net 2 and the upper part of the flame stabilizing wings 6 form an ignition zone 12. The outlet end of the evaporation pipe 8 extends into the ignition zone 12.

A part of the fresh air from the air inlet hole enters the ignition zone 12, and the rest of the fresh air enters the air inlet cavity 13 through the air distribution hole 7. The fresh air mixes with the fuel in the ignition zone 12, and under the high-temperature action of the glow plug 20, a high-temperature flame is formed and blown to the flame stabilizing zone 14. The fuel that has not been completely burned mixes with the fresh air in the air inlet cavity again in the flame stabilizing zone 14 and burns again. Under the action of the flame stabilizing wing 6, the high-temperature flame formed is sprayed out of the flame tube 10 outlet.

[0021] In this embodiment, the components of the burner are explained as follows: As shown in Figure 2 , the air distribution flange 3 is arranged at the top end of the air inlet cover 9, and a heat insulation pad 4 is arranged between the air distribution flange 3 and the air inlet cover 9. In addition, the air distribution flange is provided with air distribution holes 18 around the atomizing cover 1. The external fresh air enters the air inlet cavity 13 through the air distribution holes 18. The air distribution flange 3 is also provided with mounting holes for fixed connection with external components.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the atomizing cover 1 is designed with a mounting stop 24 at the bottom. The atomizing screen 2 and the air distributor 7 are sequentially mounted from top to bottom. The outer surface of the atomizing screen 2 is attached to the inner surface of the half-circular arc of the atomizing cover 1. The air distributor 7 is fixed to the mounting stop 24 by welding.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3 , the atomizing cover 1 is designed with an oil inlet channel 22, an evaporation oil hole 23, and an ignition oil channel 21. The oil inlet channel 22 is connected to the external oil inlet pipe by welding for oil inlet. The inner diameter of the evaporation oil hole 23 is determined by the evaporation oil pipe 5. A certain proportion of fuel enters the atomizing screen 2 through the ignition oil channel 21, and the rest of the fuel enters the evaporation oil pipe 5.

[0024] The inner diameter of the ignition oil channel 21 of the atomizing cover 1 and the inner diameter of the evaporation oil pipe 5 are determined according to the amount of oil distribution and the length of the oil channel. Generally, the amount of oil entering the ignition oil channel 21 accounts for 30% to 50% of the total oil amount. The inner diameter of the ignition oil channel 21 is 0.2 to 0.5 mm, and the inner diameter of the evaporation oil pipe 5 is 0.4 to 1 mm.

[0025] The evaporation oil pipe 5 is designed in an L shape, with one end inserted into the evaporation oil hole 23 and fixed to the atomizing cover by welding, and the other end inserted into the evaporation pipe 8.

[0026] As shown in Figure 4 , the atomizing cover 1 is designed with a threaded hole 25, which is assembled with the fastening screw 19 in Figure 2 to form an interference fit, thereby preventing the fastening screw 19 from loosening and fixing the glow plug 20.

[0027] The atomizing cover 1 is designed with two layers of air inlet holes with opposite rotation and same number from top to bottom. The center line of the first air inlet hole 28 forms a certain angle with the tangent of the circle, and the center line of the second air inlet hole 27 forms a certain angle with the tangent of the circle. The angle is determined according to the air supply amount to the burner. The larger the air flow, the smaller the angle, so as to ensure that the air flow speed in the center of the combustion chamber is not too large, and the flame is stable. Generally, the angle of the first air inlet hole 28 is designed to be 50°-60°, and the angle of the second air inlet hole 27 is designed to be 43°-53°.

[0028] In the atomizing cover 1, the air flow entering from the double-layer hole accounts for 20%-30% of the total inlet air flow. The number and diameter of the double-layer hole are determined by the amount of air entering. The larger the diameter, the fewer the number. Generally, the diameter of the first air inlet hole 28 is designed to be 2-3 mm, and the number is 3-5; the diameter of the second air inlet hole 27 is designed to be 2-3 mm, and the number is 3-5.

[0029] As shown in Figure 5 The air distributor 7 is designed with three layers of air inlet holes from top to bottom for distributing air flow and realizing uniform air entering the flame stabilizing area 14. The third air inlet hole 29 is distributed in 6-8, with a diameter of 1.5-4 mm, accounting for 20%-30% of the inlet air flow into the air inlet cavity 13; the fourth air inlet hole 30 is distributed in 6-8, with a diameter of 1.5-4 mm, accounting for 20%-30% of the inlet air flow into the air inlet cavity 13; the fifth air inlet hole 31 is distributed in 8-12, with a diameter of 1.5-4 mm, accounting for 30%-50% of the inlet air flow into the air inlet cavity 13.

[0030] The air distributor 7 is designed with an evaporation pipe mounting hole 32 near the fifth air inlet hole 31. The evaporation pipe 8 is L-shaped, one end penetrates through the evaporation pipe mounting hole 32 and is fixed on the air distributor 7 by welding, and the other end is inclined upward and reaches a position 5-20 mm away from the glow plug 20. The purpose is to quickly blow away the fuel vapor at the outlet of the oil pipe, prevent carbon deposition, and also accelerate the mixing speed of oil and gas, and improve the ignition speed.

[0031] The fourth air inlet hole 30 of the air distributor 7 is designed with a flame stabilizing wing mounting hole 33 above it, which is uniformly distributed in 3-6. The flame stabilizing wing 6 is designed as a V shape with a V angle of 20°-50°, and is installed in the flame stabilizing wing mounting hole 33 on the air distributor 7 with a horizontal upward angle of 20°-50°, and is welded and fixed. It is used to form a certain gas standing vortex in the V-shaped angle of the flame stabilizing wing 6, reduce the gas flow speed, accelerate the secondary fuel atomization, and stabilize the flame.

[0032] The flame tube 10 is welded at the bottom of the air distributor 7 to form a post-combustion zone 15 for re-atomizing and burning the unburned fuel; the heat insulation cylinder 11 is sleeved outside the flame tube 10 to form a heat insulation zone 16 between the heat insulation cylinder 11 and the flame tube 10, and is welded at the outer edge of the bottom of the air distributor 7 to quickly raise the wall surface temperature of the flame tube 10, improve the atomization mixing degree of the oil gas, and improve the combustion efficiency.

[0033] The working process of the above burner is as follows: the fuel enters from the fuel inlet pipe 22, a part of the fuel enters and is sprayed on the atomizing net 2 through the ignition oil channel 21 at a certain ratio, and the rest of the fuel flows into the evaporation pipe 8 through the evaporation oil pipe 5. At the same time, the external fresh air enters the ignition zone 12 through the double-layer air inlet hole on the atomizing cover 1 at a certain ratio, and the rest of the fresh air enters the air inlet cavity 13 through the air distribution hole 18. Under the high-temperature action of the electric heating plug 20, the fresh air and the fuel are first atomized, mixed, and ignited in the ignition zone 12 to form a high-temperature flame, which blows towards the flame stabilization zone 14 and heats the evaporation pipe 8, atomizes the fuel flowing into the evaporation pipe 8 through the evaporation oil pipe 5, and mixes with the air in the evaporation pipe 8 to form a mixed gas, which blows towards the high-temperature electric heating plug 20 from the evaporation pipe 8 outlet and is ignited. The unburned fuel in the ignition zone 12 and the fresh air passing through the air inlet cavity 13 are mixed and burned again in the flame stabilization zone 14 under the action of the flame stabilization wing 6 to form a high-temperature flame, which blows towards the post-combustion zone 15. Under the action of the heat insulation cylinder 11, the wall surface temperature of the flame tube 10 is quickly raised to re-atomize and ignite the unburned fuel, and the high-temperature flame is sprayed out of the flame tube 10 outlet.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not change the essence of the corresponding technical solutions, which should be covered within the scope of the claims and the description of the present application.
