[0002] The uniformity of the mixture of fresh air and EGR has a significant impact on the power, economy, and emissions of diesel engines. During the intake process of the engine, if the mixed gas is unevenly distributed, the amount of fuel gas distributed to each cylinder through the intake pipe will be inconsistent, which will inevitably lead to problems such as poor consistency of operation of each cylinder of the engine and poor combustion effect. Therefore, the uniformity of the mixed gas is one of the important indicators for evaluating the mixer.

[0003] Therefore, especially for natural gas engines, not only the uniformity of the intake mixture of air and gas should be considered, but also the uniformity of the mixture with EGR exhaust gas should be considered.

[0004] A natural gas engine mixer is now proposed to improve the uniformity of mixing air, fuel gas and EGR exhaust gas. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a natural gas engine mixer to solve the problems of uneven mixing of air, fuel gas and EGR exhaust gas, poor working consistency of each cylinder of the engine and poor combustion effect at the current stage.

The distance between the air intake baffle and the ventilation baffle is greater than the width of the EGR exhaust gas inlet port. The cavity formed between the outer wall of the intake pipe, the inner wall of the mixer shell and the air intake baffle is a combustion gas cavity. The cavity formed between the inner wall of the mixer shell, the air intake baffle and the ventilation baffle is an EGR exhaust gas cavity. A plurality of air intake bypass holes are arranged on the side wall of the intake pipe, and a plurality of air outlet bypass holes are arranged on the outlet pipe.

[0007] It is further defined that the pipe openings of the intake pipe and the ventilation pipe are both trumpet-shaped, the trumpet-shaped pipe opening of the intake pipe is arranged corresponding to the air intake port, the front section of the intake pipe is located in the combustion chamber, the rear section is located in the EGR exhaust gas chamber, and the trumpet-shaped pipe opening of the ventilation pipe is arranged corresponding to the pipe tail of the intake pipe.

[0008] It is further defined that there are ten intake bypass holes, which are evenly distributed in a circle at the trumpet-shaped pipe opening of the intake pipe, and there are two outlet bypass holes, which are evenly distributed on the front and rear side walls of the tail of the intake pipe.

[0009] It is further defined that the diameter of the trumpet-shaped opening of the air intake pipe is D1, the diameter of the narrowest part of the tail of the air intake pipe is D2, D2 is 2 / 5 of D1, and the angle of the trumpet-shaped opening of the air intake pipe is 60°.

The intake pipe opening is trumpet-shaped and has ten intake bypass holes evenly distributed on the circumference. When natural gas passes through D2, the flow velocity is the largest and the pressure is the smallest. The high-speed airflow can suck the natural gas in the combustion chamber through the intake bypass and disperse it into fine droplets, causing close contact between the natural gas and the air, which is beneficial to heat transfer, mass transfer and full mixing between gases.

[0013] 2. The EGR exhaust gas is first pressurized through the EGR exhaust gas chamber, and then mixed with the natural gas and air through D3 and the ventilation bypass hole. D is 2 / 3 of D4, the angle b=60, a=45, and D is 2 / 5 of D3;
