DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a hydrogen fuel cell single-cylinder engine includes a cylinder liner 10, a piston 9, and a piston recess 8. The piston recess 8 has a shallow basin-shaped structure, and the piston recess 8, together with the compression clearance, forms a combustion chamber. Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention adds a hydrogen intake system and an electronic control system to the existing single-cylinder diesel engine. The hydrogen intake system includes a hydrogen cylinder 19, a booster valve 18, a hydrogen injector 5, and a gas supply pipe 17, which provides hydrogen fuel to the engine. The electronic control system includes a control unit 1, an electronic throttle 3, and a crankshaft position sensor 2. The electronic control system is used to precisely control the entry of hydrogen fuel into the engine's combustion chamber and ensure its complete combustion.

[0022] The existing single-cylinder diesel engine has a compression ratio of 17:1. A higher compression ratio results in higher power, lower exhaust temperature, and easier ignition. However, an excessively high compression ratio can easily cause abnormal combustion in hydrogen fuel cell engines, such as knocking and slapping. Therefore, determining the engine compression ratio is crucial. This invention, through experiments, determined that a compression ratio of 10:1 is more suitable for a hydrogen fuel cell single-cylinder engine. Therefore, the piston recess 17 of the existing single-cylinder diesel engine is improved from an "ω" shape to a shallow basin shape.

[0023] The hydrogen cylinder 19 is connected to the inlet of the hydrogen injector 5 via a gas supply pipe 17, and the outlet of the hydrogen injector 5 is connected to the combustion chamber. A pressure boosting valve 18 is installed on the gas supply pipe 17 to provide the required pressure to the hydrogen injector 5. The hydrogen injector 5 is electrically connected to the control unit 1 via a wiring harness 4. The control unit 1 is also electrically connected to the electronic throttle 3 and the crankshaft position sensor 2. The electronic throttle 3 is fixed to the engine block 25 with bolts and is linked to the mechanical throttle 20 via a connecting rod. One end of the high-pressure fuel line 14 is connected to the fuel injection pump 13. The mechanical throttle 20 is used to control the fuel injection pump 13. The fuel injection pump 13 contacts the camshaft 12, converting the rotation of the camshaft 12 into the linear motion of the fuel injection pump 13. The other end of the high-pressure fuel line 14 is connected to the combustion chamber via the fuel injector 16. Intake valve 6 and exhaust valve 15 pass through intake passage 7 and exhaust passage 11 respectively and are connected to the combustion chamber. During intake, intake valve 6 is open and exhaust valve 15 is closed, and intake passage 7 is connected to the combustion chamber. During exhaust, exhaust valve 15 is open and intake valve 6 is closed, and exhaust passage 11 is connected to the combustion chamber.

[0024] The sensor support 21 is fixedly installed on the upper left part of the machine body 25, the crankshaft position sensor 2 is fixedly installed on the sensor support 21 through bolts, and the flywheel 22 is rotatably installed on the machine body 25 through the crankshaft 23; a plurality of sensor sensing holes 24 are uniformly arranged on the outer circumference of the flywheel 22, and the axis of the crankshaft position sensor 2 overlaps the center line of the sensor sensing hole 24; and the gap between the front end surface of the crankshaft position sensor 2 and the outer circumferential surface of the flywheel 22 is 1.5-2.5 mm.

[0025] The embodiment of the utility model discloses through reasonable reduction compression ratio, proper reduction temperature in combustion chamber, and through the electric control control system accurate control hydrogen fuel admission and admission time measure such as quantity in combustion chamber, avoided hydrogen fuel to appear deflagration, abnormal sound and backfire phenomenon.

[0026] The working principle of the hydrogen fuel single-cylinder engine provided by the embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0027] When working, the power is turned on, the entire electric control jet system is powered on, the electronic control unit 1 starts to work, and the jet action of the hydrogen injector 5 is controlled according to the signal collected by the crankshaft position sensor 2; at the same time, the starter drives the flywheel 22 to rotate, and the camshaft 12 is driven to rotate, so that the oil pump 13 reciprocates, the oil pump 13 generates high-pressure diesel oil, the diesel oil is delivered to the oil injector 16 through the high-pressure oil pipe 14, and the oil injector 16 sprays the diesel oil in the combustion chamber. At this time, the high-pressure and high-temperature air generated in the piston recess 8 is ignited by the diesel oil compressed by the piston 9 and simultaneously ignites the hydrogen just sprayed, and the hydrogen fuel single-cylinder engine starts. The signal of the crankshaft position sensor 2 is continuously transmitted to the control unit 1, and the hydrogen fuel single-cylinder engine enters the idle speed operation in combination with the inherent program recorded in the control unit 1, and the rotating speed is kept at 700-800 r / min; the control throttle pull wire drives the electronic throttle 3 and the mechanical throttle 20, and the hydrogen fuel single-cylinder engine enters the normal operation state, when the load or rotating speed changes, the control unit 1 controls the opening time of the hydrogen injector 5 according to the internal program and the signals transmitted by the electronic throttle 3 and the crankshaft position sensor 2, so as to increase or decrease the gas supply pulse width in real time, calculate the optimal gas supply amount, optimal ignition timing and the like of the hydrogen fuel single-cylinder engine under the working condition, and accurately control the jet timing, jet amount and jet time; the power is turned off, the throttle (the electronic throttle 3 and the mechanical throttle 20) is loosened, the electric control jet system is powered off, the sensors and the control unit 1 stop working, the jet stops, the oil injection stops, and the hydrogen fuel single-cylinder engine stops.
