Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to marine diesel engines, specifically to a high-pressure common rail fuel injection proportional valve for heavy oil diesel engines. It enables automatic real-time control of the fuel supply from the high-pressure fuel pump in the high-pressure common rail fuel injection system of a marine heavy oil diesel engine, thereby achieving the function of pressure regulation of the common rail system. Background Technology
[0002] For high-pressure common rail fuel injection systems in marine diesel engines, the fuel proportioning valve is one of the key components for regulating the fuel pressure of the common rail system. It is installed at the fuel inlet of the high-pressure fuel pump, connecting the low-pressure fuel delivery pump and the high-pressure injection pump. By calculating the fuel demand of the common rail system, it provides the high-pressure fuel pump with a fuel supply that matches the demand, ensuring the stability of the common rail pressure from the source.
[0003] Heavy fuel oil is cheaper than light diesel oil, making it the primary fuel choice for diesel engines in ocean-going vessels. Currently, domestically produced diesel engines using heavy fuel oil are primarily mechanical, and there is virtually no experience with using heavy fuel oil in domestically produced high-pressure common rail diesel engines. From the perspective of the inlet proportional valve, during engine shutdowns, the oil temperature drops, and the heavy fuel oil in the gap between the solenoid proportional valve's spool valve assembly is not completely converted to light fuel, resulting in a mixture of light and heavy fuel oil. Under light fuel operating conditions, the temperature decreases, and the viscosity increases, easily causing the spool valve assembly to jam, leading to a loss of sensitivity in pressure regulation of the common rail system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an inlet proportional valve suitable for heavy fuel oil diesel engines.
[0004] CN209586568U discloses a "Marine Low-Speed Engine Electro-hydraulic Control Proportional Oil Inlet Valve," which includes a servo control valve assembly and a fuel control valve assembly. The servo control valve assembly includes a servo oil inlet, a servo oil return outlet, a pressure reducing valve assembly, a proportional solenoid, a proportional pressure reducing valve assembly, and a piston assembly. The servo control valve assembly regulates servo oil pressure; the servo oil can flow directly from the high-pressure oil source of the low-speed engine servo system, eliminating the need for an additional servo oil source. Fuel is introduced through the fuel control valve assembly; the fuel and servo oil have different oil passages to prevent mixing and contamination of the fuel. By employing electro-hydraulic servo control, direct contact between the electromagnetic components of the servo control valve and heavy oil is avoided, preventing corrosion. The servo control valve assembly controls the fuel control valve assembly, achieving proportional metering and output of fuel flow, while also regulating the common rail pressure. However, the technical solution disclosed in this patent document does not address how to solve the problem of valve assembly jamming. Utility Model Content
