Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an engine, in particular to an engine and a generator capable of switching the conduction state of a pipeline between an oil-gas mixing device and a fuel tank. Background Art

[0002] An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. In the field of general machinery, in order to pursue higher cost performance, the carburetors of engines generally adopt float-type carburetors; however, during the vibration of the engine / generator set during transportation, due to the bumpy road, the float-type structure will also intermittently open and close the needle valve, posing the risk of fuel leakage during transportation.

[0003] To solve the problem of fuel leakage during driving, the existing solutions are: 1. Require users to manually turn off the fuel switch during transportation, which brings inconvenience to the vehicle-mounted use of the product and also has the risk of users forgetting; 2. Use electronic injection, which increases the cost a lot and is not cost-effective for general-purpose products, which is not conducive to the popularization of the product; 3. Use a normally closed solenoid valve switch to switch the fuel inlet, which also increases costs to a certain extent and is currently used in large quantities; 4. Use a negative pressure switch to control the fuel switch. This solution currently has the highest cost-effectiveness, but the difficulty of starting without oil restricts the popularization of the product.

However, before using the carburetor, the user needs to manually push the handle to open the diaphragm before subsequent use, which is inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that a carburetor needs to manually push a handle first, which causes inconvenience in operation, the utility model provides an engine, comprising an engine body, an oil-gas mixing device and a fuel tank, wherein the oil-gas mixing device and the fuel tank, as well as the engine body and the fuel tank, are respectively connected via pipelines; wherein: a conducting member is provided between the fuel tank and the oil-gas mixing device, the conducting member conducts the pipeline between the oil-gas mixing device and the fuel tank when the engine body is running, and cuts off the pipeline between the oil-gas mixing device and the fuel tank when the engine body is stopped.

[0006] In this solution, the conducting member is used to conduct the pipeline between the oil-gas mixing device and the fuel tank when the engine body is running, so that the fuel in the fuel tank enters the oil-gas mixing device for use by the engine body. When the engine body is stopped, the conducting member cuts off the pipeline between the oil-gas mixing device and the fuel tank, and the fuel in the fuel tank no longer enters the oil-gas mixing device, so as to avoid excessive oil storage in the oil-gas mixing device and ensure the normal operation of the oil-gas mixing operation.

[0016] Figure 1 The utility model is a schematic diagram of the partial structure of an engine in an engine and generator embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0018] 1. Definition

[0019] Oil-gas mixing device: refers to the carburetor, which is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline and air under the vacuum generated by the engine, and uses the kinetic energy of the inhaled air flow to achieve gasoline atomization. A simple carburetor consists of three parts: the upper, middle and lower parts. The upper part has an air inlet and a float chamber, the middle part has a throat, a metering hole and a nozzle, and the lower part has a throttle, etc. The float chamber is a rectangular container that stores gasoline from the gasoline pump. There is a float in the container that controls the amount of oil inflow using the oil level. The oil inlet at one end of the nozzle in the middle is connected to the metering hole of the float chamber, and the oil outlet at the other end is at the throat of the throat.

[0020] Fuel tank: A tank used to store fuel.

[0021] Needle valve: a fine-tuning valve with a needle-shaped valve plug, mainly used to adjust the gas flow.

[0022] Diaphragm: A circular elastic sensitive element. When the two sides of the diaphragm are subjected to different pressures (or forces), the diaphragm will strain and move toward the side with lower pressure, causing its center to move in a certain relationship with the pressure difference.

[0023] 2. The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: fuel tank 1, fuel inlet pipe 2, guide member 3, diaphragm pressure chamber 31, diaphragm 32, needle valve 33, oil-gas mixing device 4, main air volume hole 5, engine body air intake 6.

[0024] The arrow direction in the figure indicates the passage at the oil-gas mixing device during negative pressure suction when the engine body is running, and the dotted line indicates the pressure pipe.

[0025] The embodiment is basically as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown: an engine, comprising an engine body, an oil-gas mixing device 4 and a fuel tank 1, the oil-gas mixing device 4 and the fuel tank 1 are connected via pipelines, and the fuel tank 1 is connected via an oil inlet pipe 2 to a main air volume hole 5 of the oil-gas mixing device 4. A conducting member 3 is provided between the fuel tank 1 and the oil-gas mixing device 4, the conducting member 3 conducts the oil inlet pipe 2 between the oil-gas mixing device 4 and the fuel tank 1 when the engine body is running, and cuts off the oil inlet pipe 2 between the oil-gas mixing device 4 and the fuel tank 1 when the engine body is stopped.

[0026] The above-mentioned conducting member 3 is in a normally closed state, and includes a needle valve 33 and a driving assembly. One end of the needle valve 33 extends into the oil inlet pipe 2 between the oil-gas mixing device 4 and the fuel tank 1, wherein the driving assembly includes a diaphragm 32 and a diaphragm pressure chamber 31. The diaphragm pressure chamber 31 is connected to a pressure pipe, and the other end of the pressure pipe is connected to the engine body air inlet 6. When the engine body is running, the diaphragm pressure chamber 31 drives the diaphragm 32 to drive the needle valve 33 to move in the direction of pulling out the oil inlet pipe 2. When the engine body is stopped, the diaphragm pressure chamber 31 drives the diaphragm 32 to drive the needle valve 33 to move in the direction of deepening into the oil inlet pipe 2.

[0027] This embodiment also discloses a generator including the above engine.

[0028] The specific implementation process is as follows: In this embodiment, the conducting member 3 is in a normally closed state, that is, the conducting member 3 is in a closed state under normal conditions, and the needle valve 33 extends into the oil inlet pipe 2 to cut off the oil inlet pipe 2. When the engine body is running, the engine body air inlet 6 inhales air to generate negative pressure. Since the diaphragm pressure chamber 31 is connected to the engine body through the pressure pipe, the diaphragm pressure chamber 31 will also generate negative pressure, driving the diaphragm 32 to drive the needle valve 33 to move in the direction of pulling out the oil inlet pipe 2, so that the oil inlet pipe 2 is connected, and the fuel in the fuel tank 1 flows into the oil-gas mixing device 4 through the oil inlet pipe 2, thereby continuously supplying oil to the oil-gas mixing device 4. When the engine body is stopped, since the engine body air inlet 6 no longer inhales air, there is no negative pressure in the diaphragm pressure chamber 31, and the diaphragm 32 drives the needle valve 33 to move in the direction of extending into the oil inlet pipe 2 to cut off the conduction of the oil inlet pipe 2, and stop the oil inlet of the oil-gas mixing device 4.
