[0030] The compressor pipeline provided by the utility model adopts a connecting structure, the connecting structure has a negative pressure area, and gas in the oil-gas separator 7 can be sucked into the pipe body, avoiding the outflow of the oil-gas separator 7 being blocked.

[0031] Figure 2 The utility model provides a structure schematic diagram of compressor pipeline, Figure 3 The utility model provides a sectional view of compressor pipeline.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the compressor pipeline comprises a pipe body 1 and a connecting structure 2, the pipe body 1 has an air inlet channel, the outer peripheral wall of the pipe body 1 is provided with a first air inlet 211, the connecting structure 2 is communicated with the first air inlet 211 and the air outlet of the surge valve 6 respectively, the outer side wall of the connecting structure 2 is provided with a second air inlet 212, the second air inlet 212 is communicated with the oil-gas separator air outlet pipe 5, the connecting structure 2 has a negative pressure area, and the second air inlet 212 is at least partially communicated with the negative pressure area.

[0033] The compressor pipeline comprises a pipe body 1 and a connecting structure 2, and since the connecting structure 2 has a negative pressure area and the second air inlet 212 is at least partially communicated with the negative pressure area, when the negative pressure area generates negative pressure, the gas in the second air inlet 212 can be sucked into the negative pressure area of the connecting structure 2 and flow in, so that the gas flowing out of the oil-gas separator 7 can enter the pipe body 1 through the oil-gas separator air outlet pipe 5, avoiding the outflow of the oil-gas separator 7 being blocked, and ensuring that the pressure of the crankcase is negative pressure.

[0034] Specifically, the connecting structure 2 is a Venturi tube, and the negative pressure area is the throat of the Venturi tube, so that the gas in the surge valve 6 can enter the connecting structure 2 and then enter the pipe body 1. The second gas inlet 212 connected with the oil-gas separator 7 and the first gas inlet 211 connected with the surge valve 6 are integrated on the same connecting structure 2, which is a Venturi structure, and the second gas inlet 212 is located in the negative pressure area (i.e., the throat section) of the connecting structure 2. As shown in Figure 3 When the gas flowing out of the surge valve 6 flows into the cavity formed by the pipe body 1 in the direction of the arrow, a lower negative pressure effect is generated in the middle section due to the Venturi structure, thereby reducing the pressure in the oil-gas separator outlet pipe 5. In this way, the flow energy of the gas in the surge valve 6 is utilized to reduce the influence on the crankcase pressure, and a positive promoting effect is also achieved.

[0035] In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The connecting structure includes a pipe body 21 and a contraction pipe 22, which is located in the pipe body 21. From the gas flow direction of the surge valve 6 to the pipe body 1, the inner diameter of the contraction pipe 22 has a gradually decreasing trend. The contraction pipe 22 can reduce the pressure of the gas flowing out of the contraction pipe 22 to form a negative pressure area, thereby guiding the gas flowing out of the gas outlet of the oil-gas separator 7 and avoiding the positive pressure in the crankcase.

[0036] In some embodiments, the pipe body 21 and the contraction pipe 22 are integrally formed, i.e., the connecting structure is integrally injection molded, which can improve the assembly efficiency and improve the air tightness of the connecting structure.

[0037] In some embodiments, the contraction pipe 22 is a tapered pipe. That is, the diameter of the tapered pipe gradually decreases along the direction of the gas flowing out of the surge valve 6, which can ensure that a negative pressure area is formed in the pipe body 21, thereby guiding the gas flowing out of the gas outlet of the oil-gas separator 7 and avoiding the positive pressure in the crankcase.

[0038] For example, the contraction pipe 22 is welded to the inner circumferential wall of the pipe body 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the contraction pipe 22 can be fixed to the inner circumferential wall of the pipe body 21 by fasteners. In other embodiments, the contraction pipe 22 can be bonded to the inner circumferential wall of the pipe body 21. The above-mentioned arrangement can fix the position of the contraction pipe 22.

[0039] In some embodiments, the second gas inlet 212 is provided with an inlet pipe 3, which is integrally formed with the pipe body 1. This arrangement can reduce the assembly time, improve the assembly efficiency, and avoid leakage at the connection between the inlet pipe 3 and the pipe body 1, thereby improving the reliability of the compressor pipeline. For example, the inlet pipe 3 and the pipe body 1 are integrally formed by an injection molding process, thereby ensuring the air tightness of the compressor pipeline.

[0040] In some embodiments, the compressor pipeline is integrally formed by an injection molding process, so that the compressor pipeline has good air tightness.

[0041] In some embodiments, the compressor pipeline further comprises a reinforcing rib structure 11 arranged on the pipe body 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, the pipe body 1 has a U-shaped structure, so that the compactness of the compressor pipeline is improved.

[0043] In some embodiments, in order to improve the uniformity of gas mixing in the compressor pipeline, the pipe body 1 is arranged on the side wall close to the large end gas inlet of the pipe body 1.

[0044] The compressor pipeline provided by the utility model adopts a connecting structure 2 with a negative pressure area, the connecting structure 2 simultaneously connects the gas outlet of the surge valve 6 and the gas outlet of the oil-gas separator 7, and the gas in the oil-gas separator 7 is guided into the pipe body 1 under the action of the negative pressure area, thereby solving the problem that the positive value of the crankcase pressure of the gas engine does not conform to the regulations.

[0045] In the embodiment of the utility model, an engine is provided, which comprises a main body, a surge valve 6, an oil-gas separator 7, a compressor and the compressor pipeline provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the compressor is connected with the main body, the gas inlet of the compressor is in communication with the outlet of the compressor pipeline, and the compressor pipeline is also in communication with the surge valve 6 and the oil-gas separator 7 respectively.

[0046] The engine provided by the utility model comprises a pipe body 1 and a connecting structure 2, the connecting structure 2 has a negative pressure forming area, and the second gas inlet 212 is at least partially in communication with the negative pressure area, so that when the negative pressure area generates negative pressure, the gas in the second gas inlet 212 is sucked into the negative pressure area of the connecting structure 2 and flows in, and the gas flowing out of the oil-gas separator 7 can flow into the pipe body 1, so that the gas flow of the oil-gas separator 7 is not blocked, and the pressure of the crankcase is ensured to be negative pressure.

[0047] The engine provided by the utility model has the compressor pipeline provided by the utility model, and has the advantages of compact structure and convenient arrangement, the engine balances the pressure before and after the compressor by arranging the anti-surge valve 6 and the associated pipeline, so that surge is avoided, and the gas flow direction from the anti-surge valve 6 and the gas flow direction from the oil-gas separator 7 can simultaneously flow into the pipe body 1, so that the gas flow of the oil-gas separator 7 is not blocked, and the positive value of the crankcase pressure is avoided.

[0048] Since the compressor pipeline is provided, the engine provided by the embodiment of the utility model has all the advantages and beneficial effects of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
