Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, advantages and features of the present invention clearer, the following describes in further detail a self-mixing synchronous fuel dispensing system proposed by the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] A self-mixing synchronous fuel dispensing system, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a centrifugal pump assembly 2, a first flow meter 3, a refueling nozzle 5, a regulating valve 6, and a controller 7, as well as a refueling pump assembly 1 and a second flow meter 4. The centrifugal pump assembly 2 includes a centrifugal pump and a variable frequency motor, with the output shaft of the variable frequency motor connected to the drive shaft of the centrifugal pump. The inlet of the centrifugal pump serves as the main fuel inlet 8, connecting to the main fuel tank containing the main fuel. The first flow meter 3 is installed on the inlet pipe of the centrifugal pump to measure the flow rate of the main fuel.

[0016] The refueling pump assembly 1 includes a refueling pump and a permanent magnet motor. The output shaft of the permanent magnet motor is connected to the drive shaft of the refueling pump. The inlet of the refueling pump serves as the auxiliary fuel inlet 9, which is used to connect to an auxiliary fuel tank containing auxiliary fuel. The outlet of the refueling pump is connected to the pipeline between the first flow meter 3 and the inlet of the centrifugal pump. The second flow meter 4 is installed on the pipeline between the outlet of the refueling pump and the inlet of the centrifugal pump assembly 2, and is used to measure the flow rate of the auxiliary fuel.

[0017] The outlet of the centrifugal pump serves as the mixed fuel outlet 10, connected to the inlet of the fuel nozzle 5. A regulating valve 6 is installed on the outlet pipeline of the centrifugal pump, with its control terminal connected to the output terminal of the controller 7. The centrifugal pump is used to mix the primary fuel and auxiliary fuel to obtain mixed fuel, and to deliver the mixed fuel. The outlet of the fuel nozzle 5 is connected to the fuel dispensing equipment, and the fuel nozzle 5 is used to dispense the mixed fuel. The regulating valve 6 controls the flow rate and output pressure of the mixed fuel.

[0018] The input terminal of the controller 7 is connected to the output terminals of the first flow meter 3 and the second flow meter 4 respectively, and the output terminal is connected to the control terminals of the variable frequency motor, the permanent magnet motor and the regulating valve 6 respectively. It is used to control the speed of the variable frequency motor and the permanent magnet motor according to the flow rate of the main fuel and the auxiliary fuel, thereby adjusting the ratio of the main fuel and the auxiliary fuel, and controlling the speed of the variable frequency motor and the opening of the regulating valve 6, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the mixed fuel.

[0019] To monitor the operating status of centrifugal pump group 2 and filling pump group 1, this embodiment installs a pressure sensor on the pipeline between regulating valve 6 and filling nozzle 5, and a speed sensor on the centrifugal pump drive shaft to monitor pressure and speed. The outputs of both the pressure sensor and the speed sensor are connected to the input of controller 7.

A centrifugal pump unit 2, a first flow meter 3, a second flow meter 4, a regulating valve 6, and a controller 7 are mounted on a skid of a movable trolley. Two fuel inlets are provided: a main fuel inlet 8 and an auxiliary fuel inlet 9, and one fuel outlet: a mixed fuel outlet 10. The main fuel inlet 8 and the auxiliary fuel inlet 9 are the inlets of the centrifugal pump unit 2 and the dispensing pump unit 1, respectively, while the mixed fuel outlet 10 is the outlet of the centrifugal pump unit 2. The centrifugal pump unit 2 and the dispensing pump unit 1 operate in series. The main fuel and auxiliary fuel enter the centrifugal pump unit 2 synchronously through its inlet. The impeller inside the centrifugal pump unit 2 agitates and mixes the fuel evenly, and finally, the mixture is dispensed into the fuel supply device through the fuel nozzle 6.

[0021] This embodiment provides a self-mixing synchronous fuel dispensing system that can adjust the dispensing flow rate of the fuel supply device and the mixing ratio of the main fuel and auxiliary fuel under any main fuel flow rate, without the need for a separate fuel mixing container. At the same time, by using a method of mixing and dispensing simultaneously, it avoids the problems of fuel deterioration or evaporation when mixing fuel in advance, or the impact on refueling progress and time caused by mixing it at the time of use.
