[0027] Embodiment one

[0028] In the existing hydrogen engine intake system, multiple components such as intake manifold, intake manifold and gas rail need to be set. Too many parts lead to high mold cost during production.

[0029] In order to improve the integration of the hydrogen engine intake system and reduce the number of intake pipe components, the present application provides a hydrogen engine intake system, as shown in Figure 1 The hydrogen engine intake system includes a hydrogen gas rail 1 and an integrated intake pipe 2.

[0030] The hydrogen gas rail 1 is used to inject hydrogen into the integrated intake pipe 2 and mix with air.

[0031] Further, the pipe wall of the integrated intake pipe 2 surrounds to form an air pipe 21 and a hydrogen pipe 22.

[0032] The air pipeline 21 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet is communicated with an external air inlet pipe, and the air outlet is communicated with a cylinder.

[0033] Specifically, the air pipeline 21 is composed of a main pipe and a multi-way manifold. The multi-way manifold is provided with N manifold joints connected with each cylinder respectively, and the hydrogen pipeline 22 is arranged in the pipe wall of each manifold joint.

[0034] When the mold is opened, the air pipeline 21 and the hydrogen pipeline 22 are integrally formed on the integrated air inlet pipe 2, the air pipeline 21 and the hydrogen pipeline 22 are formed by the pipe wall structure of the integrated air inlet pipe 2, the hydrogen pipeline 22 injects hydrogen in the hydrogen gas rail 1 into the air pipeline 21 to mix with air, and the air pipeline 21 injects the mixed gas into the hydrogen engine cylinder. The existing air inlet system, the air inlet manifold and the hydrogen guide pipe in the embodiment are integrated in a set of molds, which can reduce the number of parts of the air inlet system and reduce the production cost.

[0035] Embodiment two

[0036] Based on embodiment one, in order to illustrate the specific structure of the hydrogen engine air inlet system of embodiment one, the embodiment provides a hydrogen engine air inlet system based on embodiment one, as shown in Figure 1 The hydrogen gas rail 1 and the integrated air inlet pipe 2 are provided.

[0037] Further, the hydrogen gas rail 1 includes a rail body 10 and a hydrogen injection nozzle 11, and the two ends of the hydrogen injection nozzle 11 are respectively communicated with the gas tank body and the hydrogen pipeline 22.

[0038] Further, the gas tank body is provided with a hydrogen pressure sensor and a hydrogen temperature sensor. The hydrogen pressure sensor and the hydrogen temperature sensor are used to monitor the hydrogen pressure and the hydrogen temperature, and the pressure is controlled by the pressure regulating valve when the pressure is abnormal, so as to ensure the stability of the hydrogen pressure of the rail.

[0039] The existing hydrogen engine air inlet system is not sufficient for mixing hydrogen and air, which leads to uneven combustion of the cylinder and causes abnormal vibration of the engine.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, there is an included angle between the hydrogen injection direction and the air flow direction, and when the high-pressure hydrogen is injected out of the hydrogen injection port 221 along the hydrogen pipe 22, the hydrogen and the air collide and mix, so that the mixed gas reaching the cylinder is more uniform, preventing abnormal vibration during combustion caused by non-uniform mixed gas.
