[0003] With the promotion and use of methanol engines, methanol heaters (water boilers) have been put into use due to their easy installation, low price and good effect.

[0004] The fuel supply process in the methanol heater is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the current methanol heater nozzles are all of a normally open structure, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, there is an open circuit structure between the methanol pump and the methanol nozzle, which results in the fuel between the methanol pump and the methanol nozzle flowing out through the methanol nozzle after shutdown. When restarting, the fuel needs to first fill the pipeline in between to gradually build up the required pressure, and then atomize and ignite successfully. Therefore, there are two shortcomings in the current structure: ① The pressure build-up is slow, which is due to the time required to fill the fuel pipeline, and the existence of the through hole causes leakage while filling, which greatly reduces the filling effect; ② The pressure build-up process is a process from small to large, in which the atomization is not good when the pressure is low in the early stage, resulting in ignition difficulties, or the internal liquid fuel flows out, causing the ignition electrode to be wetted and unable to ignite. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a one-way valve type heater methanol nozzle, which can realize rapid nozzle pressure building, good atomization and smooth ignition; at the same time, it can also avoid the outflow of liquid fuel under low pressure causing the ignition electrode to be sprayed wet.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Explanation of relevant terms:

[0032] Methanol engine: Similar to a gas engine, it is a spark-ignition engine that uses methanol as fuel.

[0033] Methanol heater: Similar to diesel heater, it uses methanol as fuel, burns by ignition, and uses the heat energy of combustion to heat the water in the water jacket to output hot water.

[0034] Methanol pump: A power device that sucks in methanol fuel and outputs it at a certain pressure.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] In a typical implementation of the present invention, Figure 2-5 As shown, a one-way valve type heater methanol nozzle is provided, comprising a methanol nozzle body 1, wherein a methanol channel 101 is arranged in the methanol nozzle body 1, wherein one end of the methanol channel 101 is connected to a fuel inlet, and the other end is connected to a fuel injection port; a one-way valve 3 is arranged at the position where the methanol channel 101 is connected to the fuel inlet, wherein the one-way valve 3 is conical at one end close to the fuel inlet, and a methanol port 303 is arranged on the conical surface of the one-way valve 3, and the other end of the one-way valve 3 is connected to a spring 2, and the elastic force of the spring 2 drives the one-way valve 3 to move, so that the methanol port 303 is connected to or closed with the fuel inlet.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, one end of the methanol channel 101 connected to the fuel inlet is conical, and is a first conical surface 103. The first conical surface 103 in the methanol channel 101 matches the second conical surface 302 on the one-way valve 3. When the one-way valve 3 is in a closed state, the first conical surface 103 and the second conical surface 302 fit together, and the methanol port 303 on the second conical surface 302 is blocked by the first conical surface 103, so that the one-way valve 3 is in a closed state.

[0038] Furthermore, a first step surface 102 is provided in the methanol channel 101 , one end of the spring 2 is against the step surface, and the other end of the spring 2 is connected to the one-way valve 3 .

[0039] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the one-way valve 3 is a cylindrical structure with a second conical surface 302 , a second step surface 301 is provided at the position where the cylinder and the second conical surface 302 are connected, and the other end of the spring 2 is against the second step surface 301 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the one-way valve cylinder is the same as the inner diameter of the methanol channel 101. Methanol enters the one-way valve cylinder through the methanol port 303 on the one-way valve 3. Methanol will not be hindered in the process of entering the fuel injection port from the one-way valve.

[0041] In this embodiment, the methanol ports 303 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of methanol ports 302 are distributed in a ring shape on the second conical surface 302 of the one-way valve 3 , and the middle position of the plurality of methanol ports 303 is a sealing cone surface 304 , and the fuel inlet is blocked by the provided sealing cone surface 304 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the methanol port 303 is a rectangular through hole.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the spring 2 is the same as the inner diameter of the methanol channel 101 , and the arrangement of the spring 2 will not hinder the flow of methanol in the nozzle.

[0044] In this embodiment, the position where the methanol channel is connected to the fuel injection port is in a conical structure, so that the speed of the sprayed methanol droplets gradually increases when passing through the cone port, forming a stable and uniform conical spray, which ensures that the spray coverage area is wide and evenly distributed, and can achieve the ideal effect.

[0045] Furthermore, when the pressure in the pipeline reaches the one-way valve pressure, the one-way valve opens and the nozzle sprays; the one-way valve pressure is the elastic force of the spring.

[0046] The fuel supply process of the one-way valve type heater methanol nozzle provided in this embodiment is as follows Figure 6 As shown, its working principle is:

[0047] Assume the one-way valve opening pressure is P. When the fuel inlet pressure reaches this pressure, the one-way valve moves left. Figure 4 As shown, the fuel enters the injection port of the fuel nozzle through the methanol port on the valve body for injection, thereby ensuring the injection pressure and avoiding the occurrence of low-pressure injection.

[0048] When the heater stops working or the pressure in the initial startup state is low, under the action of the spring, the conical surface of the one-way valve is close to the conical surface of the methanol channel, sealing the methanol port on the conical surface of the one-way valve, so that the one-way valve is in a closed state, ensuring that the liquid fuel in front of the nozzle does not flow out, achieving rapid pressure buildup, and also preventing the liquid fuel from flowing to the nearby ignition electrode and causing ignition failures.

[0049] Therefore, the utility model can realize the rapid pressure build-up of the nozzle, achieve good atomization, and relatively smooth ignition; at the same time, it can also prevent the outflow of liquid fuel under low pressure from wetting the ignition electrode. The structure is simple, easy to implement, and can be promoted and used in batches.

[0050] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
