Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a liquid handling device, and more particularly to a fluid supply device for internal and external combustion engines that can increase combustion efficiency, and to a fluid supply unit that increases combustion efficiency. [Background Technology]

[0002] It is known that fluid supply devices have only a single fluid supply unit, and therefore can only perform atomization and / or vaporization of one type of liquid. When multiple different liquids need to be atomized and / or vaporized, a corresponding number of fluid supply devices are required. In particular, when it is necessary to mix different liquids depending on the actual use, each fluid supply device needs to be controlled separately, which causes inconvenience in control.

[0003] In view of this, there is indeed still a need to improve the existing fluid supply devices. [Utility Model Content]

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fluid supply device that increases combustion efficiency, integrating multiple fluid supply units for easier control. Furthermore, this invention also provides a liquid level warning light and a heating status light for convenient observation of the fluid supply device's status.

[0012] This utility model discloses a fluid supply device for increasing combustion efficiency, comprising: a controller; a blower coupled to the controller; and multiple fluid supply units configured in series and having corresponding head ends and tail ends; each fluid supply unit includes: a housing; a container body disposed within the housing, having an inner wall and a accommodating space for accommodating a target liquid having a target component; the target components of the target liquids in different fluid supply units are different; the container body has a liquid injection port, an air inlet, and an air outlet; the liquid injection port is used to inject the corresponding target solution; the air inlet and the air outlet are connected to define an airflow space for external fluid circulation; a valve unit coupled to the controller, the valve unit being disposed in the accommodating space and having an open state and a closed state; in the closed state, part or all of the accommodating space is open. The entire space is isolated from the airflow space; when in the open state, the accommodating space and the airflow space are not isolated; and a liquid level warning device is provided on the housing to indicate the liquid level of the target liquid; the fluid supply unit at the head end has an air inlet pipe connected to its air inlet; a connecting pipe is provided between two adjacent fluid supply units, the connecting pipe connecting the air outlet of the front fluid supply unit and the air inlet of the rear fluid supply unit; the fluid supply unit at the tail end has an air outlet pipe connected to its air outlet; the air pump is connected to the corresponding fluid supply unit to provide the external fluid to flow through the air inlet and air outlet of each fluid supply unit to form an input airflow, and to output the input airflow through the air outlet pipe of the fluid supply unit at the tail end to form an output airflow.

[0013] This utility model discloses a fluid supply unit for increasing combustion efficiency, comprising a housing; a container body disposed within the housing, having an inner wall and a accommodating space for accommodating a target liquid containing a target component; the container body having an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, the inlet pipe extending from the container body to its outer side with an inlet end for allowing external gas to flow in, and the inlet pipe extending from the container body to below the surface of the target liquid within the container body with an outlet end; the outlet pipe communicating with the accommodating space within the container body; and a liquid level warning device disposed on the housing for displaying the liquid level of the target liquid. Thus, when external gas is ejected from the outlet end of the inlet pipe, the corresponding gas is injected into the target solution, causing the target solution to vaporize and atomize, thereby ensuring that the gas discharged through the outlet pipe contains a higher concentration of the target component. Furthermore, by injecting gas into the target solution, a certain degree of disturbance or flow is generated in the target solution, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of the target component in the target solution.

[0014] This utility model discloses a fluid supply device for increasing combustion efficiency, comprising: a controller; a blower coupled to the controller; and multiple fluid supply units arranged in parallel; the inlet pipe of each fluid supply unit is connected to the blower, and the outlet pipe of each fluid supply unit is used to connect to a target device; each fluid supply unit also has a corresponding valve unit, which has an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the blower cannot drive external gas to be output from the outlet pipe; in the open state, the blower can drive external gas to be output from the outlet pipe; the controller is coupled to the blower and the valve unit of each fluid supply unit to control the output power of the blower and the on / off state of the valve unit.

[0015] Accordingly, the fluid supply device for increasing combustion efficiency of this invention, by connecting multiple fluid supply units in series or in parallel, and by configuring each fluid supply unit with different target solutions and corresponding valve units, can provide different combinations of target solutions for actual use, thus offering convenience in use and control. Furthermore, when the target liquid is a combustion improver, it helps to enhance the working efficiency of the corresponding engine or combustion chamber.

[0016] Each fluid supply unit may also have a housing and a liquid level warning device, which is disposed on the housing to display the liquid level of the target liquid.

[0017] The liquid level warning device is a liquid level display tube that communicates with the container space to display the liquid level height of the target liquid in the container space.

[0018] The liquid level warning device is a liquid level warning light coupled to the controller, used to emit a warning light that is related to the liquid level height of the target liquid.

[0019] The controller calculates the time required for the liquid level of each target liquid to fall below a critical height, based on the type of each target liquid, and controls the liquid level warning light to emit a warning light when the required time is reached. Thus, the fluid supply unit can use the controller's calculations to emit a warning light to indicate that the amount of the target liquid in the container is about to be insufficient.

[0020] The controller is used to calculate the consumption of each target liquid during the working time of each fluid supply unit, and to control the liquid level warning light to emit a warning light when the working time is reached.

[0021] Each fluid supply unit further includes a liquid level sensor disposed on the inner wall of the container body and coupled to the controller. The liquid level sensor is used to send a warning signal to the controller when the liquid level is below a critical height, so that the controller controls the liquid level warning light to emit the warning light. In this way, the fluid supply unit can emit a warning light by sensing the liquid level to indicate that the amount of the target liquid in the container body is about to be insufficient.

[0022] The liquid level sensor is an infrared sensor, disposed on the upper surface of the inner wall of the container body. This infrared sensor senses the liquid level of the target liquid and sends a warning signal to the controller when the liquid level falls below a critical height. Alternatively, the liquid level sensor is disposed on the side surface of the inner wall of the container body, located at the critical height. When the liquid level falls below the critical height and the liquid level sensor becomes exposed, it sends a warning signal to the controller. Thus, different types of liquid level sensors can be used to sense the liquid level of the target liquid.

[0023] Each fluid supply unit has a separator arranged around the inside of the corresponding container body, forming a funnel-shaped configuration that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. This funnel-shaped configuration, achieved through the separator, helps to concentrate the target solution.

[0024] The separator has a connecting end and a free end. The connecting end is connected to the inside of the container body, and the free end extends downward from the connecting end, forming a separation opening. Thus, the funnel-shaped configuration of the connecting end and the free end of the separator helps to concentrate the target solution.

[0025] Each fluid supply unit includes a temperature sensor disposed on the inner wall of the container body and coupled to the controller, for sensing the temperature of the target liquid or the containment space and transmitting the temperature to the controller; a heater coupled to the controller, the heater being arranged around the outer periphery of the container body to raise the temperature in the containment space; and a heating status light disposed on the housing and coupled to the controller, for emitting a heating status light when the heater is heating. Thus, the temperature sensor and the heater achieve the effect of vaporizing the target liquid, and the heating status light indicates that the fluid supply unit is in a heating state; furthermore, when the target liquid is a combustion-supporting agent, it helps to improve the working efficiency of the corresponding engine or combustion chamber.

[0026] Each fluid supply unit has an insulation layer that surrounds the outer periphery of the container body. Thus, the insulation layer helps maintain the internal temperature of each fluid supply unit.

[0027] Each fluid supply unit includes an insulation layer that surrounds the outer periphery of the container body, with a heater positioned between the container body and the insulation layer. This configuration of heater and insulation layer effectively maintains the target solution in a gaseous state. Furthermore, when the target liquid is a combustion-supporting agent, it helps improve the operating efficiency of the corresponding engine or combustion chamber.

[0028] Each fluid supply unit has an oscillator coupled to the controller to generate vibrations that cause the corresponding container body to vibrate accordingly. Thus, the oscillator enables the target solution to be mixed uniformly.

[0029] Each fluid supply unit has an atomizer disposed within the container body and coupled to the controller, so as to atomize the target liquid when the container body contains the corresponding target liquid. Thus, the atomizer achieves the effect of atomizing the target solution. Furthermore, when the target liquid is a combustion improver, it helps to enhance the operating efficiency of the corresponding engine or combustion chamber.

[0030] The fluid supply device for internal and external combustion engines further includes a first sensor coupled to the controller. The first sensor is located at the outlet pipe of the fluid supply unit at the tail end to detect the flow rate and pressure of the output airflow inside the outlet pipe. Based on the flow rate and pressure of the output airflow obtained by the first sensor, the controller adjusts the output power of the pump and the state of each valve unit according to predefined rules. Thus, the controller can adjust the pump and each valve unit in real time based on the feedback signal from the first sensor to output the corresponding fluid to the target device according to predefined rules, thereby achieving convenient control and improving the effectiveness of the target device in using the output fluid (output airflow). Furthermore, when the target liquid is a combustion improver, it helps to improve the working efficiency of the corresponding engine or combustion chamber.

[0031] Each of the target solutions is a combustion improver. Thus, through the configuration of the fluid device of this invention, the optimal combination of combustion improvers can be provided according to the current operating state of the target device, thereby improving the working efficiency of the corresponding engine or combustion chamber.

[0032] The fluid supply device for internal and external combustion engines further includes a second sensor for sensing operational information about the operating status of the corresponding target device. The controller adjusts the output power of the air pump and the state of each valve unit according to predefined rules based on the operational information obtained by the second sensor. When the target device is an intake manifold, the operational information is the flow rate and pressure of the fluid in the intake manifold and / or the concentration of the target component. When the target device is an internal combustion engine, the operational information is the engine speed. When the target device is an external combustion engine combustion chamber, the operational information is the firing rate of the combustion chamber. When the target device is either an internal or external combustion engine, the operational information is the type and concentration of gases emitted by the internal or external combustion engine. Alternatively, the operational information is at least one of the flow rate and pressure of the fluid in the intake manifold and / or the concentration of the target component, the engine speed of the internal combustion engine, the firing rate of the external combustion engine combustion chamber, and the type and concentration of gases emitted by the internal or external combustion engine. Thus, through this second sensor, the optimal composition of the target components can be provided based on the current operating state of the corresponding target device, thereby improving the working efficiency of the corresponding engine or combustion chamber.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0039] To make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; in addition, the same symbols in different drawings are considered to be the same and their descriptions will be omitted.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, Figure 1 ,2 The diagram shows a front view of the fluid supply device for internal and external combustion engines of this invention, which may include multiple fluid supply units 1. Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing the front view of the fluid supply unit 1 at the head end, and Figure 4 This is a front cross-sectional view of the fluid supply unit 1 at the head end. The fluid supply device includes multiple fluid supply units 1, a pump 2, and a controller 3. These fluid supply units 1 are arranged in series to have a head end and a tail end in the series arrangement. The pump 2 operates on the fluid supply unit 1, and the controller 3 is coupled to both the fluid supply unit 1 and the pump 2.

[0041] Each fluid supply unit 1 includes a housing 18, and the housing 18 is provided with a heating status light 181 and a liquid level warning light 182 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). Inside the outer casing 18, each fluid supply unit 1 includes a container body 10, a liquid inlet 11, an air inlet 12I, an air outlet 12E, and a valve unit V. The container body 10 has an inner wall 101 and a accommodating space S for accommodating a target liquid L with a target component, particularly accommodating the target liquid L and the gas and / or atomized liquid formed therefrom, and the gaseous state also has a corresponding target component; the target liquid L (target component) in different fluid supply units 1 / container bodies 10 are different. The liquid inlet 11 is located on the upper side of the container body 10 so that the corresponding target liquid L can be injected into the container body 10 from the liquid inlet 11; preferably, the liquid inlet 11 has a corresponding cover 11C, which can be, for example, a cap, a stopper, or other element, to seal or expose the liquid inlet 11 as needed. The air inlet 12I and the air outlet 12E are disposed on the container body 10. The air inlet 12I and the air outlet 12E are connected to define the airflow space for external fluid (especially the airflow generated by the air pump 2) to circulate.

[0042] The valve unit V is disposed in the accommodating space S and has an open state and a closed state. When the valve unit V is closed (in the closed state), part or all of the accommodating space S (especially the space used to contain the target liquid L) is isolated from the airflow space. When the valve unit V is open (in the open state), the accommodating space S is not isolated from the airflow space. It should be noted that the valve unit V can be implemented, for example, by a controllable electric valve or solenoid valve and corresponding construction, which is understandable to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] To elaborate, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown, embodiments of two and three fluid supply units 1 connected in series are illustrated. The fluid supply unit 1 located at the head end has an air inlet pipe 121 connected to its air inlet 12I; a connecting pipe 122 connects the air outlet 12E of the front fluid supply unit 1 to the air inlet 12I of the rear fluid supply unit 1; the fluid supply unit 1 located at the tail end has an air outlet pipe 123 connected to its air outlet 12E.

[0044] In detail, when each fluid supply unit 1 has a corresponding target solution L, the combination of the valve unit V in the open or closed state determines whether the airflow space is isolated from the specific target solution L, thereby allowing the output airflow to have the target components of the target solution L with a specific composition; the output airflow is generated by the input airflow flowing through each fluid supply unit 1; in particular, the output airflow is output to the target device TD via the outlet pipe 123. Figure 2 For example, if the fluid supply units 1 at the head, middle and tail ends have target solutions L with the first, second and three target components respectively, then the output airflow can contain a combination of mist fluid or gas of target solutions L with different target components according to the combination of the opening or closing states of each valve unit V. The opening and closing states of the valve unit V and the target components that can be present in the output airflow are shown in Table 1 below.

[0045] Table 1: Combination of the switching status of each valve unit and the corresponding target component in the output airflow

[0046]

[0047] The air pump 2 is connected to the air inlet pipe 121 of the fluid supply unit 1 at the head end, so that external gas flows through the air inlet 12I and air outlet 12E of each fluid supply unit 1 to form the aforementioned input airflow, and the input airflow is output from the air outlet pipe 123 of the fluid supply unit 1 at the tail end to form the aforementioned output airflow. In particular, the output airflow acts on the target unit (not shown), so that the target unit can have better benefits in response to the specific components contained in the output airflow. In other embodiments (not shown), the air pump 2 may also be the air outlet pipe 123 of the fluid supply unit 1 at the tail end, and external gas is input from the air inlet pipe 121 by means of suction.

[0048] The controller 3 is coupled to the valve unit V of each fluid supply unit 1 and the air pump 2 respectively, and can control the opening or closing state of each valve unit V according to predefined rules, and control the output power of the air pump 2 so that the output airflow can have the target components of the target solution L with a specific composition and have a better flow rate.

[0049] Better location, for example Figure 1-4 As shown, each fluid supply unit 1 has a separator 13 within its container body 10. The separator 13 divides the accommodating space S into an upper space S1 and a lower space S2. The lower space S2 can be used to accommodate the corresponding target liquid L, and the upper space S1 can be used to accommodate the gas and / or atomized liquid formed by the target liquid L. Specifically, the separator 13 is arranged around the inner side of the container body 10 and forms a funnel-shaped configuration that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. In particular, the separator 13 has a connecting end 13a and a free end 13b. The connecting end 13a connects to a location / region on the inner side of the container body 10, and the free end 13b extends downward from the connecting end 13a, forming a separation opening 13O. Thus, through the funnel-shaped configuration formed by the separator 13 from top to bottom, when there is a corresponding target liquid L in the upper space S1 (from droplets that are originally the target liquid L, atomized droplets, and / or droplets that have changed from a gaseous state to a liquid state), it can be guided by the separator 13 to flow through the separator opening 13O so as to collect in the lower space S2.

[0050] The vaporization or atomization rates of the target liquid L in each fluid supply unit 1 are different. To display the amount of the target liquid L in each fluid supply unit 1, each fluid supply unit 1 has a liquid level warning device disposed on the housing 18. In one embodiment, the liquid level warning device may be a liquid level display tube (not shown) communicating with the accommodating space S. The liquid level display tube has a float that floats on the target liquid L, and the liquid level display tube is made of a transparent material to display the liquid level height of the target liquid L according to the position of the float.

[0051] In another embodiment, the liquid level warning device may be a liquid level warning light 181 coupled to the controller 3, used to emit a warning light related to the liquid level height of the target liquid L. After the target liquid L is injected into the container body 10 from the injection port 11 of the fluid supply unit 1, the target liquid L has a liquid level height H1 in the lower space S2. After the target liquid L is vaporized or atomized, the liquid level height H1 will gradually decrease. When it drops to a critical height H2 (e.g., 1 / 4 of the height remains), the liquid level warning light 181 will emit a warning light to indicate that the amount of target liquid L is about to be insufficient. After the liquid level warning light 181 emits the warning light, the cover 11C of the fluid supply unit 1 can be opened, and the target liquid L can be injected into the container body 10 from the injection port 11 to replenish it.

[0052] In one embodiment of this invention, the controller 3 can calculate the time required for the liquid level H1 of various target liquids L to fall below the critical height H2 after vaporization or atomization, based on the type of target liquid L. When the required time is reached, the controller controls the liquid level warning light 181 corresponding to the target liquid L below the critical height H2 to emit a warning light, indicating that the fluid supply unit 1 with insufficient target liquid L needs to replenish its target liquid L. In another embodiment, the controller can also calculate the consumption of each target liquid L during the working time (e.g., 360-500 hours) of each fluid supply unit 1, and when the working time is reached, control the liquid level warning light 181 to emit a warning light, indicating that the fluid supply unit 1 with insufficient target liquid L needs to replenish its target liquid L.

[0053] In another embodiment, the fluid supply unit 1 may also be equipped with a liquid level sensor 19 coupled to the controller 3 to sense the liquid level height H1 of the target liquid L. The liquid level sensor 19 may be, for example, an infrared sensor, disposed on the upper surface of the inner wall 101 of the container body 10. The infrared sensor can sense the liquid level height H1 of the target liquid L and, when the liquid level height H1 is lower than the critical height H2, issue a warning signal to the controller 3. The controller 3 then controls the liquid level warning light 181 to emit a warning light to indicate that the amount of target liquid L is about to be insufficient. In other embodiments, the liquid level sensor 19 may also be disposed on the side surface of the inner wall 101 of the container body 10, located at the critical height H2. When the liquid level height H1 is lower than the critical height H2, exposing the liquid level sensor 19, the liquid level sensor 19 issues a warning signal to the controller 13. The controller 3 then controls the liquid level warning light 181 to emit a warning light to indicate that the amount of target liquid L is about to be insufficient. In other embodiments, the liquid level sensor 19 may also be an ultrasonic sensor, a differential pressure sensor, a capacitive sensor, a DC electrode sensor, or other various liquid level sensors, and this invention does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0054] Preferably, each fluid supply unit 1 has a heater 14, which is arranged (partially) around the outer periphery of the container body 10 to raise the temperature in the containment space S. Specifically, the heater 14 is positioned at the location corresponding to the target liquid L to efficiently raise the temperature of the target liquid L in the containment space S. Thus, the heater 14 heats the target solution L, promoting its vaporization to form a gas with the corresponding target component, which is easily carried away by the input airflow, resulting in a higher concentration of the target component in the output airflow. The heater 14 can be a thin-film heater, a thick-film heater, a ceramic heater, or other various heaters; this invention is not limited thereto. The heater 14 can be coupled to the controller 3, so that the heater 14 can heat the containment space S according to the control of the controller 3.

[0055] To indicate that each fluid supply unit 1 is heating, each fluid supply unit 1 has a heating status light 182 disposed on the housing 18. The heating status light 182 can be coupled to the controller 3 to emit a heating status light when the heater 14 is heating, thereby indicating that the fluid supply unit 1 is being heated. Preferably, each fluid supply unit 1 has a temperature sensor 141 disposed on the inner wall 101 of the container body 10 and coupled to the controller 3. Each temperature sensor 141 can sense the temperature of its respective target liquid L or the containing space S and transmit the temperature to the controller 3 so that the controller 3 can determine whether to control the heater 14 to heat. The temperature sensor 141 can be configured to sense the temperature of the upper space S1, the lower space S2, or the target liquid L. The temperature sensor 141 can be a bimetallic thermometer, a glass liquid thermometer, a pressure thermometer, a resistance thermometer, a thermistor, a thermocouple, or other various temperature sensors; this invention is not limited to any of these.

[0056] Preferably, each fluid supply unit 1 has a heat insulation layer 15, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the container body 10 to maintain the temperature in the containment space S. More preferably, the heater 14 is disposed between the container body 10 and the heat insulation layer 15. In this way, the heat insulation layer 15 allows the gas formed by the target solution L to be more easily maintained in a gaseous state and to be easily carried away by the input airflow, thereby allowing the output airflow to contain a higher concentration of the target component. The heat insulation layer 15 can be made of asbestos, glass wool, plastic, rubber and plastic, or other insulation materials, and this invention is not limited thereto.

[0057] Preferably, each fluid supply unit 1 has an oscillator 16 disposed on the outer periphery of the container body 10, particularly at a position corresponding to the target liquid L, to generate vibration that causes the container body 10 to vibrate accordingly, thereby ensuring uniform mixing of the components of the target liquid L. The oscillator 16 can be an ultrasonic oscillator, for example, generated by a vibration motor at a high frequency (particularly a frequency not less than 20 kHz). The oscillator 16 can be coupled to the controller 3.

[0058] Preferably, each fluid supply unit 1 has an atomizer 17 disposed within the container body 10 to atomize the target liquid L, specifically by spraying the atomized liquid towards the air inlet or outlet. In this way, the atomizer 17 atomizes the target liquid L into a uniformly distributed atomized liquid within the gas, making it easily carried away by the input airflow, thereby allowing the output airflow to contain a higher concentration of the target component. The atomizer 17 can be an ultrasonic atomizer, which uses high-frequency vibration of the atomizing plate to transform the corresponding liquid into tiny atomized droplets. The atomizer 17 can be coupled to the controller 3.

[0059] Preferably, the fluid supply device may further include a first sensor 4, which is disposed at the outlet pipe 123 of the fluid supply unit 1 at the tail end to detect the flow rate and pressure of the output airflow inside the outlet pipe 123. The first sensor 4 may be coupled to the controller 3, and the controller 3 may adjust / control the output power of the air pump 2 and the on / off state of each valve unit V according to the flow rate and pressure of the output airflow obtained by the first sensor 4, and optionally control one or more of the heater 14, oscillator 16 and atomizer 17 of each fluid supply unit 1.

[0060] More preferably, the controller 3 may be additionally coupled to a second sensor (not shown), which is specifically used to sense the operating status information of the target device TD. The controller 3 may adjust / control the output power of the air pump 2, the on / off state of each valve unit V, and / or control one or more of the heater 14, oscillator 16 and atomizer 17 of each fluid supply unit 1 according to the predefined rules based on the operating information obtained by the second sensor and optionally based on the information fed back by the first sensor 4.

[0061] In particular, in a specific application embodiment, the target device TD can refer to the whole or part of an internal combustion engine or an external combustion engine, especially the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine, the engine of an internal combustion engine, or the combustion chamber of an external combustion engine; the target liquid L can be a combustion improver (a liquid whose target component is a combustion improver), and each of the fluid supply units 1 is a fluid supply unit 1 containing different combustion improver components. Furthermore, when the target device TD is an intake manifold, the second sensor can be installed in the intake manifold to sense the flow rate and pressure of the fluid in the intake manifold, and more preferably, to sense the concentration of the target solution component (combustion aid); when the target device TD is the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine or an external combustion engine, the second sensor can be used to sense the engine speed or the current firing rate of the external combustion engine; or alternatively, the second sensor can sense at least one of the flow rate and pressure of the fluid in the intake manifold, the concentration of the target solution component, the engine speed and firing rate, and the type and concentration of gases emitted by the internal and external combustion engines, so that the controller 3 can adjust / control the output power of the air pump 2, the on / off state of each valve unit V, and / or control one or more of the heater 14, oscillator 16 and atomizer 17 of each fluid supply unit 1 according to the predefined rules based on the operating information obtained by the second sensor, and optionally in combination with the information fed back by the first sensor 4.

[0062] Based on the aforementioned application of this invention in internal and external combustion engines, since known devices with only a single combustion aid supply unit can only provide one type of combustion aid, they can only effectively improve the operating efficiency of internal and external combustion engines within a certain power range of the combustion chamber, but cannot effectively improve the efficiency of internal and external combustion engines under different power variations. In this regard, this invention, by connecting multiple fluid supply units 1 in series, and by using different target solutions L (i.e., combustion aids with different compositions) for each fluid supply unit 1, the configuration of each valve unit V, and the corresponding flow channel configuration (such as the airflow space formed by the intake pipe 121, connecting pipe 122, and exhaust pipe 123), can provide the optimal combination of combustion aids (as shown in Table 1) for various combustion demands / power conditions, thereby optimizing the overall operating efficiency of the combustion chamber.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, this illustrates another embodiment of the fluid supply unit 5 of this invention. This embodiment is similar to the one described above. Figure 1-4The embodiment of the fluid supply unit 1 is largely the same. In this embodiment, the container body 10 of the fluid supply unit 5 has an inlet pipe 51 and an outlet pipe 52. The inlet pipe 51 extends from the container body 10 to the outside of the container body 10 and has an inlet pipe inlet end 51a for allowing external gas to flow in. The inlet pipe 51 extends from the container body 10 to below the liquid surface of the target liquid L in the container body 10 and has an inlet pipe outlet end 51b, preferably extending to a position near the bottom of the container body 10. The outlet pipe 52 communicates with the accommodating space S in the container body 10. The fluid supply unit 5 also has the following characteristics: Figure 1-4 The housing 18, liquid level warning light 181, liquid level sensor 19, heating status light 182, and temperature sensor 141 shown are included. Figure 5 (Not shown). Thus, when external gas is ejected from the outlet end 51b of the inlet pipe, the corresponding gas is injected into the target solution L, causing the target solution L to vaporize and atomize, thereby allowing the gas discharged through the outlet pipe 52 to contain a higher concentration of the target component. In addition, the liquid level warning light 181 and the heating status light 182 also illuminate when needed to indicate that the target solution L is about to run low and is in a heating state, respectively.

[0064] In detail, through the configuration of the fluid supply unit 5 described above, particularly the arrangement of the inlet pipe 51 extending into the target liquid L, the fluid supply unit 5 can still produce a considerable degree of vaporization and atomization of the target liquid L even in the absence of the heater 14 and the atomizer 17. Furthermore, it should be noted that the fluid supply unit 5 may optionally include at least one of the separator 13, the heater 14, the insulation layer 15, the vibrator 16, and the atomizer 17; in particular, the presence of the heater 14 enhances the overall vaporization effect, and the presence of the atomizer 17 enhances the overall atomization effect. Moreover, by injecting gas into the target solution, a certain degree of disturbance or flow can be generated in the target solution L, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of the target components in the target solution L; similarly, the presence of the vibrator 16 enhances the overall component mixing uniformity.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6The diagram shows a system schematic of another embodiment of the fluid supply device of this utility model. The fluid supply device includes multiple fluid supply units 5 arranged side-by-side. The inlet pipe 51 of each fluid supply unit 5 is connected to a pump 2, and the outlet pipe 52 of each fluid supply unit 5 is connected to a target device TD. The pump 2 drives external gas to flow from the inlet pipe 51 through the fluid supply unit 5, and then from the outlet pipe 52 into the target device TD. Each fluid supply unit 5 also has a corresponding valve unit V, which has an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the pump 2 cannot drive external gas to output from the outlet pipe 52; in the open state, the pump 2 can drive external gas to output from the outlet pipe 52. Preferably, the controller 3 is coupled to the air pump 2 and the valve unit V of each fluid supply unit 5, so that the output power of the air pump 2 is controlled by the controller 3, and the on / off state of the valve unit V is controlled, so that the output airflow from the outlet pipe 52 can have the target components of the target solution L with a specific composition and have a better flow rate.

[0066] In summary, the fluid supply device for internal and external combustion engines of this invention, by connecting multiple fluid supply units in series or in parallel, and by configuring each fluid supply unit with different target solutions and corresponding valve units, can provide different combinations of target solutions for actual use. Furthermore, the funnel-shaped configuration formed by the separators helps to concentrate the target solution, which is preferably beneficial for supplying the corresponding heater, vibrator, and atomizer. Additionally, the heater can heat the target solution, causing it to vaporize into a corresponding gas, thereby increasing the concentration of the target component in the output gas flow. Furthermore, the atomizer forms an atomized liquid from the target solution, which also increases the concentration of the target component in the output gas flow. Finally, the configuration of the inlet pipe of the fluid supply unit extending into the target liquid improves the vaporization, atomization, and homogenization effects of the target liquid.
