Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the development of technology, most diesel engines are equipped with high-pressure common rail fuel systems, which require a higher pressure of up to 2000 bar and stricter tolerance.

[0003] When organic or inorganic contaminants, including water and impurities, seep into the fuel supply system, fuel components are susceptible to damage. A key component in preventing these potential hazards is the diesel filter. Located in the engine's fuel supply system, the diesel filter removes water and solid impurities like iron oxide and dust from the fuel, providing the engine with clean, water- and impurity-free fuel. This protects precision components in the engine's electronic fuel injection system, such as the injection valve and cold start valve, improving engine performance and extending its service life.

[0004] Existing excavator engine systems are equipped with a water filter and a particle filter to filter out water and impurities, respectively. However, in actual use, the existing filter components cannot meet the needs of excavators, and impurities and water cannot be completely filtered out, causing the excavator's fuel system to malfunction.

[0035] During the working conditions of the excavator, the fuel quality in the mine is easily polluted by the environment, resulting in a high content of water and impurities in the fuel.

[0036] Existing excavator engine systems are equipped with a water filter and a particle filter to filter out water and impurities, respectively. However, in actual use, the existing filter components cannot meet the needs of excavators, and impurities and water cannot be completely filtered out, causing the excavator's fuel system to malfunction.

[0037] Therefore, in order to more perfectly filter the fuel moisture and particles of the excavator in the mining working conditions, the embodiment of the present application provides an engine fuel supply system with a three-stage filter, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a filter component 2 connected to the oil supply pipeline 1.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the oil inlet of the oil supply pipe 1 is connected to the oil tank, and the oil outlet of the oil supply pipe 1 is connected to the engine cylinder; the oil supply pipe 1 is connected to the oil pump 3, and the filter assembly 2 includes a first-stage filter 10, a second-stage filter 20 and a third-stage filter 30 connected to the oil supply pipe 1 in sequence.

[0039] Specifically, the installation structure of the filter assembly is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the oil inlet of the third-stage filter 30 is connected to the oil outlet of the second-stage filter 20, the oil outlet of the third-stage filter 30 is connected to the engine fuel injection pipe, and the third-stage filter 30 is arranged on the side of the engine cylinder.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the third-stage filter 30 is arranged on one side of the oil supply pipe 1, and the oil supply pipe 1 is connected to the top of the engine cylinder for oil supply.

[0041] Further, Figures 2 to 4 This is a schematic diagram of the component structure of the filter assembly 2.
