Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fuel nozzle cleaning, and in particular relates to a fuel nozzle cleaning system for regeneration and a diesel engine. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] When a diesel engine DPF is regenerated, a portion of the fuel is not burned in the combustion chamber but directly oxidized and burned on the DOC to increase the temperature of the DPF and burn the captured carbon particles. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN208057194U discloses a DPF active regeneration combustion-supporting system, in which a bracket mounts the regeneration fuel nozzle on the exhaust pipe. For this structure of the DPF active regeneration combustion-supporting system, after the regeneration is completed, the fuel nozzle stops spraying fuel, but some fuel remains. The high temperature in the exhaust pipe and the impurities in the exhaust gas can easily clog the fuel nozzle after a certain period of time, resulting in the inability to spray fuel and regenerate normally during the next regeneration. The existing fuel nozzle cleaning method is usually to disassemble the fuel nozzle for cleaning. Since the fuel nozzle is a very precise device, this method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also damages the structure of the fuel nozzle. At the same time, since the installation space of the fuel nozzle on the exhaust pipe is small, this method is not applicable. Utility Model Content

[0023] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] In a typical implementation of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a regeneration fuel nozzle cleaning system is provided, including a gas cylinder 1, a high-pressure air shut-off valve 2 and a fuel-air switching valve 3, wherein the fuel-air switching valve 3 is provided with a first inlet 301, a second inlet 302 and an outlet 303, wherein the first inlet 301 is connected to the high-pressure air shut-off valve via an air pipe 6, and the high-pressure air shut-off valve is connected to the gas cylinder 1 via the air pipe 6; the second inlet 302 is connected to the fuel pipe 7, and the outlet 303 is connected to the regeneration fuel nozzle 4.
[0026] In this embodiment, the fuel-air switching valve 3 is electrically connected to the controller 9, and the air pipe and the fuel pipe are switched through the control of the controller to achieve the connection between the regeneration fuel nozzle 4 and the fuel pipe 7 or the connection between the regeneration fuel nozzle 4 and the air pipe 6, thereby using high-pressure air to clean the nozzle pipe and remove the residual fuel when the regeneration fuel nozzle stops spraying fuel. Further, the controller is a vehicle ECU.
[0027] In this embodiment, a fuel cut-off valve 8 is further provided on the fuel pipe 7. The fuel-air switching valve 8 is provided downstream of the fuel cut-off valve 3. The connection and disconnection of the fuel pipeline are realized by the provided fuel cut-off valve.
[0028] In this embodiment, the gas cylinder 1 is a high-pressure gas cylinder, which contains high-pressure air. The gas cylinder can be a specially configured high-pressure gas cylinder, or a vehicle gas cylinder can be directly used.
[0029] The regeneration fuel nozzle cleaning system provided by the utility model, when not performing regeneration, the high-pressure air shut-off valve 2 remains closed, the fuel-air switching valve 3 is in a position connected to the first inlet 301, and at the same time, the fuel shut-off valve 8 remains closed, and the medium connected to the regeneration nozzle 4 is unpressurized air.
[0030] Furthermore, when regeneration is performed, the fuel shut-off valve 8 is opened, the fuel air shut-off valve 8 is switched to a position connected to the second inlet 302, and the high-pressure air shut-off valve 2 remains closed. At this time, the regeneration fuel nozzle 4 is connected to the fuel pipe 7, and the regeneration fuel nozzle 4 performs fuel injection.
[0031] After regeneration is completed, the fuel shut-off valve 8 is closed, the fuel air shut-off valve 3 is switched to a position connected to the first inlet, the high-pressure air shut-off valve 2 is opened, and the high-pressure air is used to purge and clean the regenerated fuel nozzle 4. After the cleaning is completed, the high-pressure air shut-off valve is closed, and the other valves remain stationary and return to their original state.
[0032] After regeneration is completed and the nozzle is cleaned, the nozzle cavity is still kept in contact with the air to avoid contact with fuel again after cleaning and sintering by high temperature.
[0033] In order to better clean the fuel regeneration nozzle, it can also be cleaned before each regeneration and at fixed intervals, such as every 24 hours. The cleaning method is the same as the above steps, that is, switch the fuel air shut-off valve to the position of connecting the air interface, and open the high-pressure air shut-off valve at the same time.
[0034] The high-pressure air shut-off valve, fuel-air switching valve and fuel shut-off valve used in this embodiment are all existing structures.
