Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gasoline engine valve body structures, in particular to an engine-connected valve body controlled by an engine control unit. Background Art
[0002] The engine operating system, also known as the engine management system (EMS), uses the engine electronic control unit (ECU) as the control center. It uses sensors installed in various parts of the engine to measure various engine operating parameters. According to the control program pre-set by the ECU, it accurately controls the fuel injection amount, injection time, ignition advance angle, etc., so that the engine can operate in the best state, with the best power output, the most economical fuel consumption and emissions that meet regulatory requirements under various operating conditions.
[0003] Simply put, the ECU's operating principle is to control the fuel mixture (air-fuel ratio) and spark timing (ignition advance and duration) based on feedback from sensors connected to the engine. Controlling the fuel mixture and ignition timing is quite complex. The ECU requires data from multiple sensors to achieve optimal control of the system. The ECU needs to know vehicle speed, engine speed, crankshaft position, air quality (oxygen content), engine temperature, engine load, throttle position, throttle rate of change, transmission gear, exhaust emissions, and more.
[0004] General engine, that is, general small gasoline engine, refers to gasoline engine other than those used in vehicles and special purposes. It is a small power machinery mostly used in agriculture, gardening and home, and its rated power is generally below 30kW.
[0005] The main valve bodies currently used in small generators are carburetors or single-fuel intake valve bodies. However, the existing carburetors or single-fuel intake valve bodies are not used in conjunction with the engine control unit, making it impossible to achieve precise control of the oil volume.
[0006] With the increasing demands for general-purpose engine emissions, environmental protection, and fuel consumption, it is critical to develop a general-purpose engine valve body suitable for current use. Utility Model Content

The driving motor, the injector and the three-in-one sensor are fixed on the valve body. The oil cap is sleeved on the injector and connected to the fuel tank through an oil pipe. The oil cap is used to fill the first fuel.
[0011] The drive motor, injector, and three-in-one sensor are connected to the engine control unit. The three-in-one sensor is used to detect the temperature, pressure, and vacuum change information of the valve body and transmit the information to the engine control unit. After receiving the information transmitted by the three-in-one sensor, the engine control unit controls the drive motor to adjust the air intake volume of the valve body and control the fuel injection volume of the injector.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, an air intake passage is provided through the valve body, a throttle plate is provided in the middle of the air intake passage and is connected to a throttle shaft, the throttle shaft is provided below the throttle plate, and the throttle shaft is used to control the opening angle of the throttle plate.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the drive motor is fixedly mounted on the drive motor assembly surface by bolts, and the drive motor is used to control the rotation of the throttle shaft on the valve body through the engine control unit to control the air intake volume of the valve body.
[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the three-in-one sensor is arranged on the three-in-one sensor assembly surface of the valve body, the three-in-one sensor is symmetrical with the drive motor, and the three-in-one sensor is used to detect the opening of the throttle shaft rotated by the drive motor.
[0015] In one embodiment of the present utility model, the valve body is further provided with an intake air temperature detection hole and an intake air pressure detection hole, and the temperature probe of the three-in-one sensor is extended into the intake air temperature detection hole to detect the temperature of the air entering the engine;
[0016] The pressure detection hole of the three-in-one sensor is connected to the intake pressure detection hole and is used to detect the absolute pressure of the intake manifold behind the throttle shaft.
[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the valve body is further provided with a fuel injection port of the fuel injector, and the fuel injector is fixed to the fuel injection port of the fuel injector by means of bolts.
[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, a second fuel filling hole is further provided on the valve body, and the second fuel filling port is assembled with the valve body through the second fuel filling hole. The second fuel filling port and the second fuel filling hole are fitted in an interference fit and are pressed in by an assembly machine.
[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second fuel filling port is connected to the fuel tank via a fuel connecting pipe, and a solenoid valve is provided on the fuel connecting pipe, and the solenoid valve is used to control the on / off of the fuel connecting pipe.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the drive motor, the injector, and the three-in-one sensor are connected to the engine control unit via a wiring harness.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0025] The valve body in the utility model is assembled on a general-purpose machine for use. When the general-purpose machine is running, the engine control unit detects its own load through feedback information from the three-in-one sensor, and controls the drive motor to rotate the throttle shaft, thereby automatically changing the air intake volume of the valve body, so that the generator can output corresponding outputs under various working conditions.
[0026] When the air intake volume of the valve body changes, the three-in-one sensor detects the vacuum change in the valve body's outlet end according to the engine speed and load, and then converts it into a signal voltage through the change of the sensor's internal resistance and sends it to the engine control unit (ECU). The engine control unit controls and corrects the injection amount and the valve body throttle shaft angle based on the size of this signal voltage, thereby adjusting the injector to control the injection amount.
[0027] The valve body provided by this utility model can be filled with at least two types of fuel. The first is to connect a pipe from the oil cap end to the fuel tank and inject 92-grade gasoline. The second is to connect a pipe from the second fuel filling port to the fuel tank and inject LPG, CNG, and other fuels. Both filling methods are controlled by the ECU. For the first type of 92-grade gasoline filling, the ECU controls the injection timing of the injector; for the second type of fuel filling, a solenoid valve controls the opening and closing of the fuel connection pipe between the second fuel filling port and the fuel tank.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. This new model adds an engine control unit and a corresponding three-in-one sensor to adaptively control the valve body. This allows the engine control unit to accurately calculate basic injection timing, injection volume, and ignition advance angle based on sensor signals under each load, enabling general-purpose machinery to achieve the required performance while reducing fuel consumption and meeting emission and environmental standards.
[0030] 2. The second fuel filler port and solenoid valve control design of this utility model provides more fuel options while optimizing fuel consumption, increasing the applicability and practicality of general-purpose machinery and reducing operating costs. The design also adopts a highly integrated approach, assembling the drive motor, injector, three-in-one sensor, and fuel filler port into the valve body, saving both space and weight.
