Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a high-flow-rate urea injection system based on an air-assisted atomizing nozzle. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional gas-assisted SCR urea supply and injection systems have a small flow rate, making them unsuitable for high-flow-rate applications such as marine engines. After increasing the flow rate of the urea supply module, the proportion of liquid fluid increases while the proportion of gas fluid decreases, resulting in uneven gas-liquid mixing. This leads to poor nozzle atomization and larger liquid particle diameters, failing to meet the requirements for SCR urea injection. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a high-flow-rate urea injection system based on an air-assisted atomizing nozzle, in order to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a high-flow urea injection system based on an air-assisted atomizing nozzle, comprising a urea pump unit, an air valve unit, and a controller. The urea pump unit includes a urea inlet, a compressed air inlet, and a mixing chamber connected between the urea inlet and the compressed air inlet. The air valve unit includes a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe, and a nozzle. The two ends of the first connecting pipe are respectively connected to the mixing chamber and the nozzle, and the two ends of the second connecting pipe are respectively connected to the compressed air inlet and the nozzle.

[0005] In one embodiment, the urea pump unit further includes a first filter screen disposed between the mixing chamber and the urea inlet.

[0006] In one embodiment, the urea pump unit further includes a urea pump body disposed between the mixing chamber and the first filter screen.

[0007] In one embodiment, the urea pump unit further includes a second filter disposed between the mixing chamber and the compressed air inlet.

[0008] In one embodiment, the urea pump unit further includes a first electromagnetic on / off valve disposed between the mixing chamber and the second filter screen.

[0009] In one embodiment, the urea pump unit further includes a pressure sensor disposed on the mixing chamber and connected to the controller.

[0010] In one embodiment, the air valve unit further includes a second solenoid on / off valve disposed between the nozzle and the compressed air inlet.

[0011] In the technical solution of this utility model, the high-flow urea injection system based on an air-assisted atomizing nozzle includes a urea pump unit, an air valve unit, and a controller connected to the urea pump unit. The urea pump unit includes a urea inlet, a compressed air inlet, and a mixing chamber connected between the urea inlet and the compressed air inlet. The air valve unit includes a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe, and a nozzle. The two ends of the first connecting pipe are respectively connected to the mixing chamber and the nozzle, and the two ends of the second connecting pipe are respectively connected to the compressed air inlet and the nozzle.

[0012] Therefore, in this technical solution, urea and compressed air are mixed in the mixing chamber and then sent into the nozzle. At the same time, compressed gas can also directly enter the nozzle, so that secondary gas-liquid mixing can be carried out in the nozzle and then the urea atomized solution is sprayed from the nozzle, further improving the atomization effect.

[0021] This invention provides a high-flow-rate urea injection system based on an air-assisted atomizing nozzle.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the high-flow urea injection system based on an air-assisted atomizing nozzle provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a urea pump unit 10, an air valve unit 20, and a controller 30 connected to the urea pump unit 10. The urea pump unit 10 includes a urea inlet 11, a compressed air inlet 12, and a mixing chamber connected between the urea inlet 11 and the compressed air inlet 12. The air valve unit 20 includes a first connecting pipe 21, a second connecting pipe 22, and a nozzle 23. The two ends of the first connecting pipe 21 are respectively connected to the mixing chamber and the nozzle 23, and the two ends of the second connecting pipe 22 are respectively connected to the compressed air inlet 12 and the nozzle 23.

[0023] In this embodiment, urea and compressed air are mixed in the mixing chamber and then sent into the nozzle 23. At the same time, compressed gas can also directly enter the nozzle 23, so that secondary gas-liquid mixing can be carried out in the nozzle 23 and then the urea atomized solution is sprayed from the nozzle 23, further improving the atomization effect.

[0024] The urea pump unit 10 further includes a first filter 13 disposed between the mixing chamber and the urea inlet 11 and a second filter 14 disposed between the mixing chamber and the compressed air inlet 12, thereby enabling the filtration of urea and compressed air and improving the quality of the subsequent urea atomization solution.

[0025] The urea pump unit 10 also includes a urea pump body 15 disposed between the mixing chamber and the first filter screen 13, so that urea can be pumped in through the urea pump body 15. The urea pump body 15 is connected to the controller 30, so that it can be remotely controlled through the controller 30.

[0026] In addition, the urea pump unit 10 further includes a first solenoid on / off valve 17 disposed between the mixing chamber and the second filter screen 14, and the air valve unit 20 further includes a second solenoid on / off valve 24 disposed between the nozzle 23 and the compressed air inlet 12. In this application, the first solenoid on / off valve 17 is a built-in pressure regulating valve, while the second solenoid on / off valve 24 is an external pressure regulating valve. This application achieves the accuracy and atomization effect during high-flow injection by using two pressure regulating valves, one built-in and one external, to meet the injection requirements of after-treatment systems for large-displacement engines such as marine engines. At the same time, it simplifies the structure of the nozzle 23 and reduces the cost of the injection system and the nozzle 23.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the urea pump unit 10 further includes a pressure sensor 16, which is disposed on the mixing chamber and connected to the controller 30. Therefore, the pressure in the mixing chamber can be monitored by the pressure sensor 16, and monitoring can be achieved through signal transmission with the controller 30.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
