Description

Technical Field

[0002] One of the prerequisites for the normal operation of a diesel engine is good lubrication, otherwise alarms and shutdowns may occur. The function of a diesel engine's lubricating oil system is to lubricate the surface of friction pair components, reduce wear on the friction pair surface, reduce motion resistance, improve work efficiency, and also have a cooling effect. Most diesel engines are equipped with a wet oil pan, which is equipped with high and low level sensors. When the level exceeds the limit, an alarm signal will be sent to the operating table or control room. During the use of a diesel engine, a certain amount of lubricating oil will be consumed due to the retention of some lubricating oil on the cylinder liner arm surface. The lubricating oil consumption rate is also one of the design indicators of a diesel engine. For a diesel engine with a wet oil pan, the lubricating oil level will gradually drop during use. After the minimum level alarm is reached, the engine must be shut down for lubricating oil replenishment. The current design of diesel engine lubricating oil systems has the following shortcomings: ① The lubricating oil in the diesel engine's lubricating oil sump will gradually decrease as the diesel engine runs. When the lubricating oil level reaches the minimum alarm, the diesel engine shuts down, which has a certain impact on the normal operation of the diesel engine or the normal operation of the ship; ② When the engine is shut down to replenish the lubricating oil, the crankcase cover of the diesel engine needs to be opened, which will bring a certain amount of disassembly and assembly workload; therefore, it is necessary to make improvements to the above problems.

[0020] The specific structure of the lubricating oil replenishing circuit is as follows: the lubricating oil replenishing circuit includes a coaxial double gear pump 8, wherein the driving shaft of the coaxial double gear pump 8 is connected to the camshaft of the diesel engine, so that the coaxial double gear pump 8 can be started and operated when the diesel engine is running, the pumping end of the coaxial double gear pump 8 is connected to the engine belt lubricating oil sump 1 through the pumping pipe 9, and the oil outlet of the coaxial double gear pump 8 is connected to the upper end of the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 through the oil outlet pipe 10, and the coaxial double gear pump 8 is connected to the upper end of the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 through the oil outlet pipe 10. The oil suction port is connected to the lower end of the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 through the oil suction pipe 11, and the oil outlet 2 of the coaxial double gear pump 8 is connected to the engine oil pan 1 through the oil outlet pipe 2 12, and the oil outlet pipe 2 12 is connected to the oil extraction pipe 9 through the one-way branch 13; in the above structure, the coaxial double gear pump 8 and the pipeline integrated design principle are adopted, and the suction work of the coaxial double gear pump 8 is used to ensure that the liquid level of the diesel engine oil pan 1 is maintained at a certain height, providing a stable lubricating oil supply system for the diesel engine;

[0021] The specific structure of the one-way branch 13 is as follows: the one-way branch 13 includes a branch pipe connecting the oil extraction pipe 9 and the oil outlet pipe 2 12, and the branch pipe is provided with a one-way valve 15; specifically, the lower end of the oil extraction pipe 9 is connected to the filter 2 17 arranged in the engine belt lubricating oil sump 1 and located below the lubricating oil high liquid level line 16, and the oil extraction pipe 9 is provided with a one-way valve 2 18 to prevent the lubricating oil in the pipe from flowing back into the engine belt lubricating oil sump 1, and the connection position of the branch pipe and the oil extraction pipe 9 is located at the downstream section of the one-way valve 2 18; specifically, the oil suction pipe 11 is provided with a one-way valve 3 19, and the end of the oil suction pipe 11 extending into the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 is connected to the filter 3 21 located below the replenishing oil low liquid level line 20.

[0022] In order to quickly and conveniently grasp the height of the lubricating oil level in the belt lubricating oil pan 1, an oil level dipstick 22 for measuring the internal lubricating oil level is provided on the belt lubricating oil pan 1.

[0023] The specific structure of the diesel lubricating oil system is as follows: the diesel lubricating oil system includes a lubricating oil supply pipeline 2 and a return oil pipe 14, the engine belt lubricating oil sump 1 is connected to the lubricating oil inlet of the diesel engine 3 through the lubricating oil supply pipeline 2 provided with a engine belt lubricating oil pump 7, and the lubricating oil outlet on the diesel engine 3 is connected to the engine belt lubricating oil sump 1 through the return oil pipe 14, and the lower end of the lubricating oil supply pipeline 2 is connected to a filter 5 arranged in the engine belt lubricating oil sump 1 and below the lubricating oil low liquid level line 4.

[0024] In this structure, the engine oil pan 1 is normally filled with lubricating oil to between the lubricating oil low level line 4 and the lubricating oil high level line 16; during the operation of the diesel engine, the coaxial double gear pump 8 draws oil from the engine oil pan 1 of the diesel engine through the oil extraction pipe 9, and supplies it to the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 through the oil outlet pipe 1; at the same time, the coaxial double gear pump 8 draws oil from the lower end of the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 through the oil suction pipe 11, and supplies it to the engine oil pan 1 of the diesel engine through the oil outlet pipe 2 12; the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 is provided with a replenishing oil low level line 20 and a replenishing oil High liquid level line, when the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 is lower than the replenishing oil low liquid level line 20 or higher than the replenishing oil high liquid level line, the liquid level alarm arranged on the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 will start the alarm; in this structure, the coaxial double gear pump 8 is a purchased part, which is similar to two lubricating oil gear pumps, one oil extraction pump and one oil suction pump, except that the driving gears are made coaxial; the flow rate of the oil extraction pump in the coaxial double gear pump 8 is the same as the flow rate of the oil suction pump, and can be designed according to a flow rate of 1.2 to 1.5 times the lubricating oil consumption of the diesel engine at 110% load.

[0025] As the diesel engine runs, the lubricating oil in the engine belt lubricating oil pan 1 is consumed, and the liquid level will drop to the pipe mouth below the filter 2 17 (i.e., the dotted line below the filter 2 17). At this moment, the oil pump in the coaxial double gear pump 8 cannot pump up the lubricating oil, but the lubricating oil sucked by the oil suction pump in the coaxial double gear pump 8 will flow into the engine belt lubricating oil pan 1, so that the liquid level in the engine belt lubricating oil pan 1 will rise; considering that the oil pump of the coaxial double gear pump 8 may fail to pump out oil, in order to prevent the oil pump gear of the coaxial double gear pump 8 from abnormal wear, a one-way branch 13 is specially designed to distribute some lubricating oil from the lubricating oil outlet of the oil suction pump of the coaxial double gear pump 8 to the oil pump gear of the coaxial double gear pump 8 through a one-way valve 15; since the diesel engine consumes lubricating oil when it runs, the consumed lubricating oil capacity can be transferred to the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 in this way, and lubricating oil can be replenished to the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6 according to the detection result of the liquid level detector on the lubricating oil replenishing tank 6.

[0026] The working mode of the suction pump can control the oil level of the diesel engine oil pan at a certain position, so that the diesel engine can always run. It is not necessary to artificially supplement the diesel engine oil pan 1 with lubricating oil.

[0027] The technical solution has a simple structure and a novel design. The oil level in the engine oil pan 1 is easily controlled, which ensures the normal operation of the diesel engine, reduces the volume of the engine oil pan 1, and improves the power-to-weight ratio index of the diesel engine.
