[0016] A train internal combustion engine fuel automatic distribution method, the method comprises the following steps:

[0017] S1, real-time acquisition of the running parameters of each internal combustion engine of the train, the running parameters include speed, power, temperature and current fuel remaining, through the installation of professional sensors at the corresponding positions of each internal combustion engine: the speed is collected by a speed sensor, which can be installed at the crankshaft or flywheel of the engine, and the number of revolutions of the crankshaft or flywheel is inducted to obtain the speed information in real time; the power is collected by a power sensor, which can be connected with the power output end of the internal combustion engine to monitor the output power; the temperature is collected by a temperature sensor, which is usually installed at the cylinder body, cooling liquid circuit and other key parts of the engine to accurately monitor the working temperature of the internal combustion engine; the current fuel remaining is collected by an oil level sensor, which is installed in the fuel tank to detect the fuel level in the fuel tank in real time, and then the fuel remaining is calculated, and the parameters collected by the sensor are transmitted to the data acquisition module;

[0018] S2, fuel is delivered to each internal combustion engine by a fuel pump group, and the output flow and output pressure of each fuel pump are collected by a flow sensor and a pressure sensor respectively, the fuel pump group is composed of a plurality of fuel pumps, each fuel pump is connected with one internal combustion engine to ensure that each internal combustion engine is supplied with oil separately, the flow sensor is installed on the outlet pipe of the fuel pump to monitor the output flow of the fuel pump in real time; the pressure sensor is also installed on the outlet pipe of the fuel pump to monitor the output pressure of the fuel pump;

[0019] S3. The collected internal combustion engine operating parameters, fuel pump output flow and output pressure are transmitted to the control unit. The data acquisition module organizes and converts the collected parameters and then transmits them to the control unit through the communication line. The control unit can be a microprocessor or PLC or other device with data processing and control functions.

[0020] S4. The control unit calculates the amount of fuel required by each internal combustion engine based on a preset fuel distribution algorithm, combined with the operating parameters of each internal combustion engine, the output flow rate and output pressure of the fuel pump. The preset fuel distribution algorithm is mainly based on the power demand of each internal combustion engine, because the power demand directly reflects the load of the internal combustion engine. The greater the load, the more fuel is usually required. At the same time, the current fuel reserve of the internal combustion engine is considered. If the fuel reserve of a certain internal combustion engine is low, its fuel distribution is appropriately increased. Combined with the operating temperature, when the internal combustion engine temperature is too high, the fuel distribution is appropriately adjusted to avoid the temperature from rising further due to fuel supply problems. The output pressure of the fuel pump is referenced to ensure that the fuel pump operates within a reasonable pressure range to ensure the stability of fuel delivery.

[0021] S5. The control unit adjusts the speed of the corresponding fuel pump according to the calculated fuel quantity required by each internal combustion engine, so as to change the output flow of the fuel pump and realize automatic fuel distribution. Each fuel pump is equipped with a variable frequency drive for adjusting its speed. The control unit adjusts the speed of the fuel pump by sending a control signal to the variable frequency drive. There is a certain proportional relationship between the speed of the fuel pump and the output flow. By adjusting the speed, the output flow can be precisely controlled, thereby meeting the fuel demand of each internal combustion engine.

[0022] This invention provides an automatic fuel distribution device for a train's internal combustion engine. It has the following advantages:

[0023] 1. When the fuel level in the fuel tank is insufficient, the present invention delivers fuel into the delivery chamber by running the fuel pump, so that the fuel can flow upward from the outside of the pump casing to dissipate heat and cool the fuel pump, regardless of the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.

[0024] 2. When the fuel tank is full, the fuel in the tank can enter the delivery chamber through a one-way inflow valve and flow out through the flow hole, thereby cooling the fuel pump. Compared with the prior art, this invention allows the fuel pump to be immersed in the fuel for cooling when there is a lot of fuel in the tank.

[0025] 3. This invention allows for switching the fuel flow rate based on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. When there is a lot of fuel in the tank, the fuel pump can be immersed in the fuel for heat dissipation. When there is not enough fuel in the tank to cover the fuel pump, the fuel flows over the outer surface of the fuel pump to dissipate heat and cool it down. This fully utilizes the fuel to cool the fuel pump and improves the heat dissipation effect of the fuel pump.

[0026] 4、The present application filters fuel through the filter screen, and after the fuel pump stops running, the fuel is sprayed through the spray head, achieving the effect of automatically back-flushing the filter screen, and when the fuel is sprayed, it acts on the vane, causing the vane to rotate the filter screen, thereby expanding the back-flushing range and improving the cleaning effect on the filter screen.

[0042] Specifically, the support ring 804 is used for supporting the sealing element 803, when the oil in the oil tank is sufficient, the sealing element 803 is resisted against the liquid outlet end 7 to form a closure under the action of the pulling force of the tension spring 805 and the impact force of the oil ejected by the delivery pipe 5, so as to close the liquid outlet end 7, so that the oil is not transported through the delivery chamber, and at the same time, the oil in the oil tank can enter the delivery chamber through the one-way inflow valve 811 and flow out through the flow hole 812, so as to dissipate heat for the fuel pump 2, compared with the prior art, the fuel pump 2 can be immersed in the fuel for heat dissipation when there is more fuel in the oil tank.

[0043] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 6, the flow path adjusting assembly 8 further comprises an annular groove 806 formed in the lower outer wall of the pump shell 21, the groove 806 is in the shape of a trapezoid in cross section, one end of the sealing member 803 extends into the groove 806 through the inner shell 3, an annular protrusion 807 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the sealing member 803, a sealing pad is fixedly arranged on the side of the protrusion 807 facing the inner shell 3, a sealing head 813 is arranged directly below the flow hole 812 and fixedly installed on the bottom end of the pump shell 21.

[0044] Specifically, when the fuel in the fuel tank is insufficient, the inner shell 3 is lowered by the extension of the electric push cylinder 802, so that the sealing head 813 is inserted into the flow hole 812 to seal the flow hole 812, and when the inner shell 3 is lowered, the end of the sealing member 803 located in the groove 806 moves transversely along the slope of the groove 806, thereby moving the sealing member 803 transversely to open the liquid outlet end 7, so that the fuel enters the delivery chamber through the liquid outlet end 7 to cool the fuel pump 2, and when the sealing member 803 moves to the lowermost end of the slope of the groove 806, the protrusion 807 drives the sealing pad to tightly abut against the inner shell 3 to seal the penetration between the inner shell 3 and the sealing member 803, preventing liquid leakage.

[0045] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 6 The flow path adjusting assembly 8 further comprises an annular partition plate 808 fixedly installed on the lower inner wall of the inner shell 3, a plurality of oil outlets 809 are formed in the upper surface of the partition plate 808, and a sealing plate 810 is arranged below the oil outlets 809 and rotationally connected to the partition plate 808 by a shaft.

[0046] Specifically, the inner shell 3 is divided by the partition plate 808, when the inner shell 3 is raised by the contraction of the electric push cylinder 802, the delivery chamber is closed at this time, the sealing plate 810 rotates downward under the action of gravity to open the oil outlets 809, and the fuel flows in the delivery cavity 4 through the oil outlets 809 passing through the partition plate 808, while the inner shell 3 is lowered, the delivery chamber is opened at this time, and the sealing plate 810 is pushed to rotate upward by the transverse movement of the sealing member 803, thereby closing the oil outlets 809, achieving automatic closing of the delivery cavity 4, so that the fuel flows through the delivery chamber, and the flow of the fuel can be switched according to the amount of fuel in the fuel tank, so that when the fuel in the fuel tank is sufficient, the fuel pump 2 can be immersed in the fuel for cooling, and when the fuel in the fuel tank is insufficient to cover the fuel pump 2, the fuel flows from the outer surface of the fuel pump 2 for cooling, thereby fully utilizing the fuel to cool the fuel pump 2 and improving the cooling effect of the fuel pump 2.

[0047] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 5The outer side wall of the pump shell 21 is fixedly provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 25 in annular distribution, and the upper side wall of the pump shell 21 is fixedly provided with an annular support frame 26, which is in sliding connection with the inner shell 3 in the vertical direction.

[0048] Specifically, the support frame 26 is used to assist in supporting the pump shell 21, and the heat dissipation fins 25 are used to improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0049] Embodiment three: please refer to the attached Figure 7 -attached Figure 8 The lower portion of the pump shell 21 is provided with a filter assembly 9, which includes an outer ring 901 fixedly installed at the bottom end of the pump shell 21, and the inner side wall of the outer ring 901 is rotatably connected with a filter screen 902, a plurality of piston cylinders 903 are arranged above the filter screen 902, the conveying pipe 5 is a three-way pipe, one end of which is connected with the piston cylinder 903, the inside of the piston cylinder 903 is provided with a switching channel 904 connected with the conveying pipe 5, a sealing block 905 is slidably arranged in the switching channel 904, an elastic member 906 is fixedly connected with the side wall of the sealing block 905, the end of the elastic member 906 away from the sealing block 905 is fixedly connected with the switching channel 904, the upper surface of the switching channel 904 is provided with an inlet hole 907 and an outlet hole 908, respectively, and a counterweight piston block 909 is slidably arranged in the piston cylinder 903, a spray head 910 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the piston cylinder 903, and an annularly distributed blade 911 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the filter screen 902.

[0050] Specifically, the fuel is filtered through the filter screen 902, when the fuel pump 2 is running and the fuel is conveyed by the conveying pipe 5, part of the fuel enters the inside of the piston cylinder 903 through the conveying pipe 5, and under the action of hydraulic pressure, the sealing member 803 slides inward, thereby opening the inlet hole 907 and closing the outlet hole 908 to prevent the fuel from flowing out, and at the same time, the counterweight piston block 909 slides upward, when the fuel pump 2 stops running, the hydraulic pressure applied by the fuel disappears, the sealing block 905 slides to the lower side of the inlet hole 907 under the elastic force of the elastic member 906, thereby closing the inlet hole 907 and opening the outlet hole 908, and the counterweight piston block 909 slides downward under the action of its own gravity, and the fuel in the piston cylinder 903 is squeezed into the spray head 910 through the outlet hole 908, and the fuel is sprayed out of the spray head 910 and acts on the surface of the filter screen 902, thereby achieving the effect of automatically backflushing and cleaning the filter screen 902, and when the fuel is sprayed, it acts on the blade 911, so that the blade 911 drives the filter screen 902 to rotate, thereby expanding the backflushing range and improving the cleaning effect of the filter screen 902.

[0051] Working principle: The height of the inner shell 3 is adjusted by the electric cylinder 802. When the fuel tank is full, the electric cylinder 802 retracts and drives the inner shell 3 to rise. At this time, the delivery chamber is closed. The sealing plate 810 rotates downward under the action of gravity and opens the oil outlet 809. The fuel flows through the oil outlet 809, through the partition plate 808, and into the delivery chamber 4. The sealing element 803, under the action of the tension of the tension spring 805 and the impact force of the fuel sprayed out from the delivery pipe 5, presses against the liquid outlet 7 to form a closure, thereby closing the liquid outlet 7 and allowing the fuel to be delivered without passing through the delivery chamber. At the same time, the fuel in the fuel tank can enter the delivery chamber through the one-way inflow valve 811 and flow out through the flow hole 812, thereby cooling the fuel pump 2. Compared with the existing technology, when there is a lot of fuel in the fuel tank, the fuel pump 2 can be immersed in the fuel for cooling.

[0052] When the fuel level in the tank is insufficient, the electric cylinder 802 extends, causing the inner shell 3 to descend. At this time, the delivery chamber opens, and the sealing plate 810 rotates upward as the sealing element 803 moves laterally, thereby closing the oil outlet 809 and automatically closing the delivery chamber 4. Simultaneously, as the inner shell 3 descends, the sealing head 813 inserts into the flow hole 812 to seal it. At the same time, as the inner shell 3 descends, one end of the sealing element 803 located inside the slot 806 moves laterally along the inclined surface of the slot 806, thereby causing the sealing element 803 to move laterally and open the liquid outlet 7. This allows fuel to enter the delivery chamber through the liquid outlet 7 to cool the fuel pump 2. The fuel flow rate can be switched according to the amount of fuel in the tank. When there is a lot of fuel in the tank, the fuel can be immersed in the fuel for heat dissipation. When there is not enough fuel in the tank to cover the fuel pump 2, the fuel flows over the outer surface of the fuel pump 2 for heat dissipation and cooling. This fully utilizes the fuel to cool the fuel pump 2 and improves its heat dissipation effect.

[0053] When fuel pump 2 is operating and fuel is being delivered through delivery pipe 5, some fuel enters the piston cylinder 903 through delivery pipe 5. Under hydraulic pressure, fuel pushes seal 803 inward, thereby opening inlet port 907 and closing outlet port 908 to prevent fuel from flowing out. Simultaneously, fuel pushes counterweight piston block 909 upward. When fuel pump 2 stops operating, the hydraulic pressure applied to the fuel disappears, and seal block 905 slides below inlet port 907 under the elastic force of elastic element 906, thereby closing inlet port. 907 and open the liquid outlet 908. The counterweight piston block 909 slides downward under its own weight, squeezing the fuel inside the piston cylinder 903 into the nozzle 910 through the liquid outlet 908. The fuel is then sprayed out by the nozzle 910 and acts on the surface of the filter screen 902, achieving the effect of automatic backflushing and cleaning of the filter screen 902. When the fuel is sprayed out, it acts on the blade 911, causing the blade 911 to drive the filter screen 902 to rotate, thereby expanding the backflushing and cleaning range and improving the cleaning effect of the filter screen 902.
