Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medium and low speed diesel engines, and in particular to a large speed control system for marine diesel engines. Background Art

[0002] The governor is a speed control mechanism for diesel engines. The condition for a diesel engine to operate stably at a certain speed is that the output power is balanced with the external load. Changes in the external load will cause a corresponding change in the engine speed. The output power of a diesel engine is directly related to the amount of fuel delivered to the cylinder by the injection pump. If the injection pump's fuel supply remains constant, the speed will increase when the external load decreases; when the external load increases, the speed will decrease. The governor's function is to increase the fuel supply of the injection pump when the engine speed decreases; and to reduce the fuel supply of the injection pump when the speed increases. This ensures that the injection pump's fuel supply always matches the external load, thus ensuring the stable operation of the diesel engine.

[0003] A hydraulic speed governor typically uses the centrifugal force generated by the rotor to balance the spring force of the speed control spring. When the speed is stable, the operating window of the spool valve driven by the rotor is closed. When the speed needs to be increased or decreased, the operating window of the spool valve opens, allowing high-pressure oil to flow into or out of the power piston oil chamber. The movement of the power piston drives the governor output shaft, which controls the oil supply from the injection pump. Hydraulic speed governors offer high output torque and long service life. Electronic control offers high control precision, fast response, and ease of automatic and remote control.

[0004] The regulation and control functions of the speed control system can achieve the best match for the characteristics of the engine fuel system, ensure that it works under optimized working conditions, and modify the control rules according to the fuel characteristics to improve the technical indicators of the fuel system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application proposes a large-scale speed control system for marine engines. This system uses a mechanical-hydraulic speed control system to actively follow an electro-hydraulic speed control system with an electro-hydraulic servo valve, and the speed is 5% higher than the set value of the electro-hydraulic mode. This system allows the speed control system to perform high-precision electro-hydraulic mode speed control in the default mode. When the diesel engine overspeeds or loses power, causing the electro-hydraulic mode to fail, the mechanical-hydraulic speed control mode actively follows the engine continuously, allowing the diesel engine to maintain a stable speed set before the power outage, thus preventing the engine from running out of control. This system solves the problem of existing speed control systems being unable to simultaneously achieve high reliability and high speed control accuracy, and enables the regulation and control of the fuel system characteristics of marine diesel engines.

[0039] Large speed control systems for marine diesel engines such as Figure 1 As shown, the speed control system includes: a speed controller 1, an electro-hydraulic control mechanism 2, a speed matching device 3, a speed control spring 4, a flyweight 5, a speed reduction mechanism 6, a compensation mechanism 7, a slide valve mechanism 8, a power output cylinder 9 and a speed sensor 10.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the speed control system of this application includes the following main components:

[0041] Speed ​​controller 1: collects the diesel engine speed signal and compares it with the set speed signal to form a speed deviation signal.

[0042] Electro-hydraulic control mechanism 2: The speed is set and adjusted through an electro-hydraulic servo valve.

[0043] Speed ​​control device 3: receives the signal from the speed controller and adjusts the current speed control signal.

[0044] Flying hammer 5: generates centrifugal force to control the movement of the spool of the sliding valve.

[0045] Speed ​​regulating spring 4: The centrifugal force of the flyweight 5 is balanced with the preload force of the speed regulating spring 4. When there is an imbalance, an adjustment signal is sent synchronously.

[0046] Sliding valve mechanism 8: including fly hammer frame assembly, sliding valve assembly, plunger, spring and spring seat parts.

[0047] The descent mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft, a cam, and a lever to control the movement of the power cylinder.

[0048] Compensation mechanism 7: used in conjunction with the slide valve mechanism 8.

[0049] The valve core of the sliding valve mechanism 8 is controlled by the centrifugal force of the flying hammer 5.

[0050] Power output cylinder 9: includes a servo motor body, a compensation adjustment needle valve, a spring, a power piston, an oil seal and an output shaft.

[0051] Speed ​​sensor 10: senses the speed of the diesel engine and feeds back to the electro-hydraulic control mechanism.

[0052] The speed controller 1 collects the diesel engine speed signal and compares it with the set speed signal to generate a speed deviation signal. This deviation signal, after analog PID circuit calculation and power amplification, serves as the signal input, simultaneously providing the current speed regulation signal to the electro-hydraulic control mechanism 2 and the speed distribution device 3 to achieve the set speed. The electro-hydraulic control mechanism 2 sets and adjusts the speed via an electro-hydraulic servo valve. The current flowing through the electro-hydraulic control mechanism 2 is adjusted based on changes in the speed sensor 10, thereby controlling the movement of the power take-off cylinder 9.

[0053] When power is lost to the electro-hydraulic control mechanism 2, pressure is constantly flowing through it, the spool mechanism 8, the compensation mechanism 7, and the speed-down mechanism 6 to sense and regulate the rotational speed. The centrifugal force generated by the flyweight 5 controls the movement of the spool of the spool mechanism 8, thereby controlling the power output cylinder 9. The spool mechanism 8 includes the flyweight frame assembly, the spool assembly, the plunger, the spring, and the spring seat. Its functions are as follows:

[0054] The centrifugal force of the fly hammer 5 is balanced with the preload force of the speed regulating spring 4. When there is an imbalance, an adjustment signal is sent synchronously.

[0055] Filter and reduce the speed pulsation signal and mechanical vibration signal transmitted by the diesel engine.

[0056] Together with the buffer piston, buffer spring and compensation regulating needle valve, it realizes rapid stabilization of the entire speed control system.

[0057] The descent mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft, a cam, and a lever. When the diesel engine accelerates, the descent mechanism 6 controls the upward movement of the power cylinder, compressing the speed control spring 4 and increasing the speed above the set value. When the diesel engine decelerates, the descent mechanism 6 controls the downward movement of the power cylinder, decreasing the speed below the set value. The power output cylinder 9 includes a servo motor body, a compensating adjustment needle valve, a spring, a power piston, an oil seal, and an output shaft. Its functions are as follows:

[0058] The various regulating signals of the speed regulator are amplified and processed, and the final angular displacement is output.

[0059] In this embodiment, the speed controller collects the actual speed signal of the diesel engine and compares it with a preset speed signal to generate a speed deviation signal. This deviation signal, after being processed and amplified by an analog PID circuit, is then output to the electro-hydraulic control mechanism and the speed distribution device. Based on the received signal, the electro-hydraulic control mechanism adjusts the current within the electro-hydraulic servo valve, thereby controlling the movement of the power take-off cylinder and regulating the diesel engine speed.

[0060] When the electro-hydraulic control mechanism loses power, the system uses the centrifugal force generated by the flyweight to control the movement of the spool valve core, thereby controlling the power take-off cylinder and sensing and regulating the rotational speed. The flyweight frame assembly, spool valve assembly, plunger, spring, and spring seat in the spool valve assembly work together to ensure stable system operation.

[0061] The speed-down mechanism controls the upward movement of the power cylinder during engine acceleration, compressing the speed control spring and increasing the speed above the set value. It controls the downward movement of the power cylinder during engine deceleration, decreasing the speed below the set value. The power take-off cylinder amplifies the various speed governor control signals and outputs the final angular displacement, adjusting the opening of the compensation control needle valve to adjust the engine's performance.

[0062] This embodiment also includes a fault diagnosis module for monitoring the operating status of the speed control system. This module can detect the operating status of each system component in real time. If an abnormality is detected, such as power failure of the electro-hydraulic control mechanism or malfunction of the slide valve device, it can automatically alarm and provide troubleshooting guidance to ensure stable operation of the system.

[0063] The speed controller further includes a digital signal processor for processing the output signal of the analog PID circuit. This digital signal processor can improve the system's response speed and control accuracy, enabling the speed control system to respond to the diesel engine's speed regulation requirements more quickly and accurately.

[0064] Adjusting the opening of the compensating needle valve adjusts the diesel engine's performance. The power piston rotates the output shaft via the connecting rod, generating sufficient torque to actuate the diesel engine's fuel control mechanism. In the electro-hydraulic mode, a speed sensor senses the speed and provides feedback to the electro-hydraulic control mechanism 2 for speed setting and adjustment. This allows both systems to operate simultaneously, completing the actuator's speed regulation and regulating the diesel engine's circulating fuel supply, ensuring stable engine speed operation. The mechanical-hydraulic mode automatically follows the electro-hydraulic mode, eliminating the need to switch modes in emergencies.

[0065] The mechanical-hydraulic speed control system actively follows the electro-hydraulic speed control system with an electro-hydraulic servo valve, and the speed is 5% higher than the set value of the electro-hydraulic mode. There is no need to manually switch modes. When the electro-hydraulic mode fails due to accidents such as diesel engine overspeed or power failure, the mechanical-hydraulic speed control mode is a continuous and active follow-up, which can keep the diesel engine running at a stable speed set before the power failure, preventing runaway or overspeeding.

[0066] The two systems share a speed controller and power take-off cylinder to respectively set and control the speed of the two systems, thus achieving high reliability and high speed regulation and control capabilities of the fuel system characteristics of the marine diesel engine while saving costs.

[0067] The mechanical hydraulic system and the electro-hydraulic system are both given speed control signals by the speed controller, which can keep the diesel engine running at a stable speed set before power failure to prevent the occurrence of runaway.

[0068] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application can be combined arbitrarily unless there is any conflict.

[0069] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
