Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mobile power stations, and particularly relates to a low-temperature starting system for an air-cooled engine. Background Art

[0002] The mobile power stations produced by our company are mainly used for military purposes and need to work stably under different temperatures and different scenarios. The main component in the mobile power station is an air-cooled generator set. There are many difficulties in the low-temperature starting of the air-cooled engine. For example, when the ambient temperature is very low, the internal temperature of the engine is too low, and the fuel is not easy to vaporize; and the lubrication inside the air-cooled engine is poor, etc.

[0010] Further, the air inlet pipe protrudes out of the generator air duct.

[0022] Figure 2 is the side view of the present utility model;

[0023] Figure 3 is the schematic diagram of the adaptive closing mechanism in the present utility model.

[0024] The drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation to this patent; for better illustrating this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the dimensions of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted. Detailed Embodiments

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a low-temperature starting system for an air-cooled engine, which includes an engine air duct 6. A air guiding port is opened on the engine air duct 6, and an air inlet pipe 4 is hermetically and fixedly connected at the air guiding port. The air inlet pipe 4 protrudes outward from the generator air duct 6.

[0027] It also includes a fuel air heater 1, a warm air duct 2 and a handle butterfly valve 5. One end of the warm air duct 2 is connected to the air outlet of the fuel air heater 1, and the other end of the warm air duct 2 is connected to the air inlet pipe 4. The handle butterfly valve 5 is arranged between the warm air duct 2 and the fuel air heater 1 and is used to control the opening or closing of the warm air duct 2. Both ends of the warm air duct 2 are fastened with clamps to avoid air leakage.

[0028] It also includes an adaptive closing mechanism, which is located at the inlet of the generator air duct 6. When preparing for the low-temperature starting of the engine, the adaptive closing mechanism closes the inlet of the engine air duct; after the preparation for the low-temperature starting of the engine is completed, the adaptive closing mechanism opens the inlet of the engine air duct.

[0029] Specifically in this embodiment, a cooling fan is provided on the generator air duct 6, and the cooling fan air inlet 7 serves as the inlet of the generator air duct. The adaptive closing mechanism includes a closing cover 8 made of canvas. One end of the closing cover 8 is closed and the other end is open, and a drawstring 9 is threaded through the open end and can be drawn and tightened. The drawstring 9 is made of nylon rope.

[0030] When preparing for the low-temperature starting of the engine, the closing cover 8 is sleeved on the cooling fan air inlet 7 and fastened by the drawstring 9 to close the inlet of the engine air duct 6; after the preparation for the low-temperature starting of the engine is completed, the drawstring is loosened and the closing cover is removed from the cooling fan air inlet 7.

[0031] The specific working process of the present utility model is as follows:

[0032] When preparing for the low-temperature starting of the engine, that is, in a low-temperature environment, the closing cover 8 is used to cover the cooling fan air inlet 7 at the end of the air-cooled diesel engine to prevent the entry of cooling air. Start the fuel air heater 1, and the handle butterfly valve 5 is in the open state. At this time, the warm air generated by the operation of the fuel air heater 1 enters the engine air duct through the warm air duct 2 and the air inlet pipe 4 and flows through the engine body to achieve the purpose of heating the engine.

[0033] When the engine body is heated to an appropriate temperature, that is, after the preparation for the low-temperature starting of the engine is completed, remove the closing cover 8, turn off the fuel air heater 1, and close the handle butterfly valve 5. Then start the engine. After the engine starts working, the air-cooled diesel engine sucks in cooling air through the cooling fan air inlet at the end. Since the handle butterfly valve 5 is closed, the cooling air enters the engine body through the air duct and takes away the heat generated during the operation of the engine, maintaining the engine running at an appropriate working temperature.
