Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of internal combustion engine fuel supply equipment, specifically to a fuel conversion device for a diesel engine. Background Technology

[0002] The lower the octane rating of diesel fuel (e.g., -35#), the less likely it is to solidify at low temperatures, but the higher the price. To reduce the operating costs of diesel vehicles, most vehicles and power equipment typically use relatively high-octane diesel fuel (e.g., 0#) whenever possible, when weather conditions permit. However, winter temperatures in northern my country are very low and fluctuate greatly. Diesel fuel of the same octane rating (e.g., 0# and -10#) may work normally during the day, but will solidify at night or during severe weather or sudden temperature drops, causing blockages in the diesel engine's fuel supply circuit and rendering it unable to operate. To address this problem, various fuel conversion devices for heating diesel engines have emerged on the market. However, most existing diesel engine fuel conversion devices are quite large, often limiting their installation space when mounted on the main fuel tank of a diesel vehicle. Therefore, this invention proposes a fuel conversion device for diesel engines to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a fuel conversion device for diesel engines. The electric actuator that drives the valve core, the valve body mounting seat, the support plate, and the heating component are arranged longitudinally in sequence. The suction three-way valve and the return three-way valve are installed inside the valve body mounting seat. The overall structure is compact and reasonable, which significantly reduces the lateral width and overall volume of the fuel conversion device. When in use, the fuel conversion device is inverted and embedded in the fuel conversion device mounting hole at the bottom of the main fuel tank. Its support plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main fuel tank. The valve body mounting seat and the electric actuator are located below the bottom of the main fuel tank, and the heating component is located inside the main fuel tank, thereby effectively reducing the space requirements for installation and use of the fuel conversion device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is to design a fuel conversion device for a diesel engine, including a valve body mounting seat, which is mounted on the upper surface of a support plate.

[0006] In the second state, the engine oil inlet is connected to the main oil tank suction port through the valve core channel 1;

[0007] The control end of the valve core 2 is connected to the electric actuator 2. The electric actuator 2 drives the valve core 2 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation switching of the return oil three-way oil circuit between the third and fourth states.

[0008] In the third state, the engine oil return port is connected to the auxiliary oil tank oil return port through the valve core channel two.

[0009] In the fourth state, the engine oil return port is connected to the main oil tank oil return port through the valve core channel two.

[0064] The working principle of the fuel conversion device for diesel engines according to this utility model is as follows:

[0065] In use, the fuel conversion device for a diesel engine of this invention is inverted and embedded in the fuel conversion device mounting hole at the bottom of the main fuel tank. The support plate 2 is then fixedly connected to the bottom of the main fuel tank using screws. The suction pipe 5, return pipe 6, electric heating element 7, and temperature sensor are located inside the main fuel tank, while the valve body mounting seat 1 is located outside the main fuel tank. The suction three-way valve is in its second state, and the return three-way valve is in its fourth state. The engine inlet 3-1 is connected to the main fuel tank suction port 3-3 via valve core channel one, and the engine return port 4-1 is connected to the main fuel tank return port 4-3 via valve core channel two. The main fuel tank is filled with 0# diesel fuel, and the auxiliary fuel tank is filled with... Taking -35# diesel as an example; when the ambient temperature is low, such as -25℃ in northern winters, the control system in the cab activates the operation button for heating the fuel inside the main fuel tank. The control system first sends a rotation command to electric actuator 9, which drives valve core 1 to change the oil passage of the suction three-way valve from the second state to the first state. Engine inlet 3-1 is connected to auxiliary fuel tank suction port 3-2 through valve core channel 1, supplying fuel to the engine from the auxiliary fuel tank. After a delay (e.g., 60-100 seconds), the control system sends a rotation command to electric actuator 10, which then drives valve core 2 to change the oil passage of the return three-way valve from the fourth state to the third state. Engine return port 4-1 is connected to auxiliary fuel tank return port 4-2 via valve core channel 2. Through this, electric actuator 210 drives valve core 2 to perform a delayed switching, ensuring that the small amount of residual #0 diesel fuel in the fuel line flows back entirely to the main fuel tank. During this process, electric heating element 7 heats the fuel inside the main fuel tank, and temperature detection sensor transmits the detected fuel temperature signal to the control system in real time. When the fuel temperature inside the main fuel tank reaches the set temperature value, the control system first sends a rotation command to electric actuator 9. Electric actuator 9 then drives valve core 1 to change the oil suction three-way valve from the first state to the second state. Engine inlet port 3-1 is connected to... The main fuel tank suction port 3-3 is connected, and fuel is supplied to the engine from the main fuel tank. After a certain delay (e.g., 40-60 seconds), the control system sends a rotation command to the electric actuator 10. The electric actuator 10 then drives the valve core 2 to change the return oil three-way oil circuit from the third state to the fourth state. That is, the engine return oil port 4-1 is connected to the main fuel tank return oil port 4-3 through the valve core channel 2. Through this delayed switching driven by the electric actuator 10, most of the small amount of -35# diesel fuel remaining in the oil circuit flows back to the auxiliary fuel tank, which helps to save the cost of -35# diesel fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank. This ensures that when the engine is stopped, the suction three-way oil circuit is in the second state and the return three-way oil circuit is in the fourth state.

The overall structure is compact and reasonable, significantly reducing the lateral width and overall volume of the fuel conversion device. Furthermore, when in use, the fuel conversion device is inverted and embedded in the fuel conversion device mounting hole at the bottom of the main fuel tank. Its support plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main fuel tank, the valve body mounting base and the electric actuator are located below the bottom of the main fuel tank, and the heating assembly is located inside the main fuel tank.
