Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of generator set technology, specifically relating to explosion-proof oil tanks and sealing mechanisms for generator sets. Background Technology

[0002] A diesel generator set is a power supply device that uses a diesel engine as the prime mover and converts the chemical energy of diesel fuel into kinetic energy to drive a synchronous generator to generate electricity. It is a power generation device that starts quickly, provides stable power supply, requires less investment, is easy to operate and maintain, and is highly adaptable to the environment.

[0003] Existing diesel generator sets typically have a built-in fuel tank with a refueling hose connected to it. The hose opening is located on the outer wall of the generator set, and diesel fuel is added to the tank via external refueling equipment. An overflow pipe is connected to the upper part of the tank. When the amount of fuel added exceeds the overflow pipe, the excess diesel fuel will flow out and be recovered through the overflow pipe. However, when adding diesel fuel, fuel vapor in the tank may overflow and enter the generator set. If a fire occurs inside the generator set, it can easily form an explosive gas mixture.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies connect the other end of the overflow pipe to a recycling bin to recover the discharged fuel vapor along with excess diesel. However, in actual use, it has been found that diesel mixed with oil vapor, possible moisture, and impurities results in poor quality, high recycling costs, and often can only be treated as hazardous waste, leading to a waste of diesel.

[0005] Therefore, an explosion-proof fuel tank and sealing mechanism for generator sets are designed to solve the technical problem of diesel waste caused by the mixing of excess water and impurities when recovering fuel vapor and excess diesel in the existing technology.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Utility Model Content

[0030] Research has found that existing technologies connect the other end of the overflow pipe to a recycling bin to recover the discharged fuel vapor along with excess diesel. However, in actual use, it has been found that the diesel mixes with oil vapor, possible moisture, and impurities, resulting in poor quality, high recycling costs, and often having to be treated as hazardous waste, thus wasting diesel.

[0031] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides an explosion-proof fuel tank and sealing mechanism for generator sets. By providing a recovery mechanism and a sealing mechanism, during the process of adding diesel fuel into the tank, the discharged fuel vapor enters the return gas chamber for separate storage. When the fuel level exceeds the opening of the recovery pipe, the excess diesel fuel enters the return oil pipe through the recovery pipe. The weight of the diesel fuel causes the sealing plate to flip, thus opening the return oil pipe and allowing the excess diesel fuel to enter the return oil chamber for storage. This achieves intelligent separation of oil vapor and diesel fuel, avoiding the waste of diesel fuel caused by a large amount of impurities and water mixed into the diesel fuel.

[0032] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0033] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0034] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, when the operator judges that the diesel fuel in tank 2 is insufficient by observing the level gauge or by the running time, a refueling operation needs to be performed. At this time, the operator first seals and connects the external refueling equipment (e.g., a fuel hose with a fuel nozzle) to the interface of the refueling pipe 22 fixed on the outer wall of generator set 1. After the refueling process is started, the diesel fuel is smoothly transported to the internal cavity of tank 2 through the refueling pipe 22 under the action of external pressure. To ensure the purity and reliability of the fuel supply system, the diesel fuel output from the fuel tank 2 must pass through the fuel supply pipe 21 at the bottom of the fuel tank 2 before entering the engine. One end of the fuel supply pipe 21 that extends into the fuel tank 2 is fitted with a filter element 210. This filter element 210 includes, but is not limited to, a filter mesh skeleton made of metal or polymer material and multiple layers of composite filter paper. Its filtration precision can be selected according to the engine requirements. It can effectively intercept and adsorb solid particulate impurities, gum, and trace amounts of condensate that may be present in the fuel due to the temperature difference between day and night. This greatly reduces the risk of blockage or wear of precision components such as fuel injectors and fuel pumps. The purified diesel fuel is then continuously and reliably supplied to the engine and other core equipment in the generator set 1 through the fuel supply pipe 21.

[0036] In addition, to enhance the functionality and expandability of the fuel tank, one or more pipe interfaces 13 are added to the top of the fuel tank 2. These pipe interfaces 13 are not for daily refueling, but are reserved as functional interfaces. For example, one of the interfaces can be used to install a level sensor, or to facilitate the addition of other functional liquids such as fuel additives and water removers into the fuel tank 2 to meet maintenance needs under different operating conditions.

[0037] The vent flame arrester 110, fixed to the outer wall of generator set 1, functions to prevent a small amount of combustible mixture and exhaust gas from inevitably leaking into the crankcase from the combustion chamber through the piston ring gaps when the diesel generator is running, as the engine piston reciprocates within the cylinder. This leak causes an increase in internal crankcase pressure, which mixes with splashed engine oil to form flammable oil mist. If the pressure is not released, it can damage oil seals (such as oil seals and gaskets), leading to oil leakage. The vent flame arrester 110 serves as a vent, allowing the pressurized combustible gas and oil mist to escape smoothly into the atmosphere, thus balancing the pressure inside and outside the crankcase. Simultaneously, it extinguishes any flames or sparks that may escape from the crankcase, preventing them from igniting flammable materials in the external environment, thus achieving the dual functions of ventilation and fire prevention. The vent flame arrester 110 is housed in a mounting box 11, which is bolted to the inner wall of generator set 1, providing protection and facilitating routine maintenance and replacement.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the temperature sensor 12 installed on the top of the fuel tank 2 is responsible for real-time monitoring of the ambient temperature in key areas surrounding the fuel tank. Its probe is directly exposed to the air above the fuel tank, providing high monitoring accuracy and rapid response. When an open flame or abnormally high temperature occurs inside the generator set 1 due to an unexpected situation such as a short circuit or oil leak, the ambient temperature will rise sharply. Once the temperature reaches a preset safety threshold (this threshold is usually set by the control system according to safety standards, such as 120°C), the temperature sensor 12 will immediately transmit an over-temperature signal to an external controller (such as a PLC or a dedicated safety control module). After receiving the signal, the controller will start a pre-connected emergency fuel pump. The inlet of this fuel pump is connected to an emergency fuel extraction pipe 20, the opening of which is usually inserted to the bottom of the fuel tank. The fuel pump will operate at maximum power, rapidly sucking up the large amount of diesel fuel stored inside the fuel tank 2 and transferring it to an external safety storage tank far away from the fire source, fundamentally eliminating the largest potential explosion source. Even if the external flames are burning fiercely, the space for flammable oil and gas inside an empty or low-level fuel tank is extremely small, greatly reducing the risk of a violent explosion.

[0039] As a feasible implementation method, the fuel tank 2 can be designed as a double-layer structure, consisting of an inner liner to hold the fuel and an outer shell surrounding it. The two layers are connected by a support structure and evacuated to a high vacuum state, forming a vacuum insulation layer similar to that of a thermos flask. Furthermore, a layer of fire-resistant and heat-insulating material, such as ceramic fiber felt, nano-aerogel felt, or intumescent fire-retardant coating, can be wrapped on the outer wall of the fuel tank shell to effectively extend the time it takes for external high temperatures to transfer to the fuel inside the fuel tank 2.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, before the operator begins refueling the tank 2, the sealing mechanism 4 needs to be initially set up. The operator holds the drive ring 401 and slides it upwards along the axis of the return pipe 31. The drive ring 401 moves upwards until the drive magnet 402 inside it is approximately level with the height of the flipping assembly 41. More specifically, a key mechanical positioning point is that the upward stroke of the drive ring 401 is precisely limited when the part of the shaft 412 located outside the return pipe 31 (i.e., the shaft ends extending out of the pipe wall) just enters the positioning groove 404 on the inner wall of the drive ring 401. At this position, a pair of driven magnets 411 symmetrically embedded inside the sealing plate 410 enter the magnetic field range of the two drive magnets 402 inside the drive ring 401. Since the magnets are set with opposite poles, the magnetic attraction overcomes the small friction of the bearing of the shaft 412, driving the sealing plate 410 to rotate, so that its plane is quickly adjusted to be perpendicular to the axis of the return pipe 31, i.e. Figure 5As shown, the sealing plate 410 is horizontal and its periphery is tightly fitted against the inner wall of the return oil pipe 31, completely blocking the passage of the return oil pipe 31. Subsequently, the operator can manually slide the drive ring 401 downward, allowing it to move down along the outer wall of the return oil pipe 31 until it abuts against the limiting member 403 fixed on the pipe wall, thereby stably storing the drive ring 401 in the non-working position.

[0041] When refueling officially begins, as external diesel fuel is continuously injected, the fuel level inside fuel tank 2 gradually and steadily rises. According to the principles of fluid mechanics and gas displacement, the rising fuel level compresses the gas space at the top of the fuel tank, making its pressure slightly higher than the external atmospheric pressure. At this time, the air inside the fuel tank and the evaporated fuel vapor seek a pressure relief channel. Since the inlet of the return fuel pipe 31 is blocked by the closed plate 410, this fuel vapor (in the direction of F1 in the figure) will naturally choose to flow through the recovery pipe 30. The fuel vapor flows along the recovery pipe 30 and finally enters the return gas chamber 322, which is independently separated by the partition plate 320 in the recovery tank 32, achieving preliminary recovery of fuel vapor and avoiding the risk of deflagration caused by its direct discharge into the generator compartment.

[0042] As refueling continues, the diesel fuel level in tank 2 eventually rises to the level of the lower edge of the recovery pipe 30. With continued diesel injection, the level gradually submerges the opening of the recovery pipe 30. Because the inlet of the return pipe 31 is structurally closer to tank 2, excess diesel fuel flows into the return pipe 31 first. Initially, a small amount of diesel fuel accumulates above the sealing plate 410. Liquid diesel fuel has a much higher density than gas, and its static pressure gradually increases. When the torque generated by the weight and momentum of the accumulated diesel fuel is sufficient to overcome the static friction of the bearing of the rotating shaft 412 and the gravitational torque of the sealing plate 410 itself, it will push the sealing plate 410 and the rotating shaft 412 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the bearing connection between the rotating shaft 412 and the wall of the return pipe 31, presenting a... Figure 6 As shown: the sealing plate 410 rotates from a horizontal closed state to a vertical or tilted state, thereby opening up the fluid passage. Excess diesel fuel then flows along the return oil pipe 31 (in the direction of F2 in the figure) into the separate independent chamber return oil chamber 321 in the recovery tank 32.

[0043] In summary, by incorporating the recovery mechanism 3 and the sealing mechanism 4, during refueling of the fuel tank 2, fuel vapor, due to its gaseous properties, initially enters the return gas chamber 322 through the recovery pipe 30. Excess liquid diesel, driven by its own weight, triggers the mechanical structure and is diverted to the return oil chamber 321. The two are physically separated by the partition plate 320, thus achieving the separate recovery of excess diesel and fuel vapor. This avoids the diesel pollution and waste problems caused by traditional mixed recovery methods, while significantly improving the safety of refueling operations.
