[0027] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiment of the present application discloses a fuel valve filtering structure, comprising a valve body 1 with an oil inlet channel 11, the front end of the oil inlet channel 11 is provided with an oil inlet port 12, the rear end of the oil inlet channel 11 is communicated with the inner cavity of the valve body 1, an oil filter block 2, a fuel filter element 3 and a spring 4 are provided in the oil inlet channel 11, the oil filter block 2 is fixed in the oil inlet channel 11 and is arranged near the oil inlet port 12, the oil filter block 2 is annular in structure and the outer peripheral wall of the oil filter block 2 is sealed with the inner peripheral wall of the oil inlet channel 11, a first sealing ring 5 is provided on the rear end surface of the oil filter block 2, the fuel filter The core 3 is arranged in the oil inlet channel 11 for axial movement. An oil gap 6 is provided between the fuel filter element 3 and the inner peripheral wall of the oil inlet channel 11. One end of the spring 4 is connected to the valve body 1, and the other end of the spring 4 is connected to the fuel filter element 3. The spring 4 is used to move the fuel filter element 3 toward the oil filter pressure block 2. When the fuel filter element 3 squeezes the first sealing ring 5 of the oil filter pressure block 2, the fuel filter element 3 filters the fuel in the oil inlet channel 11. When the fuel filter element 3 moves away from the oil filter pressure block 2, the fuel in the oil inlet channel 11 enters the inner cavity of the valve body 1 through the oil gap 6.

[0029] As can be seen from the above, by providing a first sealing ring 5 on the rear end face of the oil filter block 2, the fuel filter element 3 is driven by the spring 4 to move toward the oil filter block 2, so that the fuel filter element 3 squeezes the first sealing ring 5. At this time, the fuel filter element 3 filters the fuel in the oil inlet channel 11, that is, the fuel filter element 3 is in an unblocked state; when the resistance of the fuel filter element 3 is too large or it is blocked, a pressure difference is formed before and after the fuel filter element 3, causing the fuel filter element 3 to move away from the oil filter block 2. At this time, the fuel enters the inner cavity of the valve body 1 through the oil gap 6, thereby preventing the filter element from blocking the oil circuit and ensuring the normal operation of the engine.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first annular groove 21 is provided on the rear end surface of the oil filter block 2 , and the first sealing ring 5 is disposed in the first annular groove 21 , thereby stably disposing the first sealing ring 5 and improving the sealing performance.

[0031] In this embodiment, a second annular groove 22 is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the oil filter block 2, and a second sealing ring 7 is provided in the second annular groove 22. The second sealing ring 7 is sealed with the inner circumferential wall of the oil inlet channel 11, thereby improving the sealing reliability between the outer circumferential wall of the oil filter block 2 and the inner circumferential wall of the oil inlet channel 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fuel filter element 3 includes a support ring 31 and a filter screen 32. The front end of the support ring 31 is used to abut against the first sealing ring 5, and the rear end of the support ring 31 is detachably connected to the filter screen 32, thereby enabling the filter screen 32 to be supported stably and conveniently disassembling and assembling the filter screen 32 for replacement.

[0033] In this embodiment, the filter 32 has a conical structure, and the large end of the filter 32 is plugged into the support ring 31, thereby increasing the contact area with the fuel and improving the filtering effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the support ring 31 is smaller than the inner diameter of the oil inlet channel 11, and the outer diameter of the support ring 31 is larger than the outer diameter of the first sealing ring 5, thereby facilitating smooth oil flow through the oil gap 6 and improving the stability of the first sealing ring 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, a retaining spring 8 is provided at the oil inlet 12 of the oil inlet channel 11. The retaining spring 8 abuts against the oil filter block 2, thereby improving the setting stability of the oil filter block 2 and preventing the oil filter block 2 from being pushed out of the oil inlet channel 11 by the fuel filter element 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, an annular step 13 is provided at the rear end of the oil inlet channel 11 , and the annular step 13 abuts against the spring 4 , thereby enabling the spring 4 to be reliably arranged and improving filtering reliability.

[0037] In this embodiment, the operating state of the fuel valve filter structure is as follows: the oil filter block 2 is fixed in the oil inlet channel 11, the front end face of the oil filter block 2 abuts against the retaining spring 8, and the fuel filter element 3 is driven by the spring 4. The support ring 31 of the fuel filter element 3 is squeezed on the first sealing ring 5 on the rear end face of the oil filter block 2. At this time, the fuel passes through the oil inlet 12, the inner hole of the oil filter block 2, the inner hole of the support ring 31, the filter screen 32, and then enters the inner cavity of the valve body 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fuel valve filter structure operates in a second state: the oil filter block 2 is fixed in the oil inlet passage 11, the fuel filter element 3 has excessive resistance or is clogged, and a pressure differential is formed in front and behind the fuel filter element 3, causing the fuel filter element 3 to move away from the oil filter block 2. At this time, the fuel passes through the oil inlet 12, the inner hole of the oil filter block 2, the oil gap 6, and then enters the inner cavity of the valve body 1.
