DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention discloses a urea spraying system (100), which can be applied in the exhaust treatment of an engine (200). Said urea spraying system (100) comprises a urea tank (1), a sensor integration apparatus (2) connected to said urea tank (1), a filter (3) connected downstream of said sensor integration apparatus (2), a fluid conveyance apparatus (4) used to pump a urea solution out of said urea tank (1), a common rail (5) connected said fluid conveyance apparatus (4), and nozzles (6) connected to said common rail (5). Said fluid conveyance apparatus (4) comprises a pump (42) used to pump a urea solution from said urea tank (1) and a controller (41) used to control said urea spraying system (100). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said controller (41) is set in said fluid conveyance device (4). Of course, said controller (41) can also be set in other places in other implementation modes of the present invention.


Said engine (200) is a high-power diesel engine with a power rating above 500 kilowatts. Accordingly, it can be understood that the present invention relates to a common rail (5) applied in a high-power diesel engine. Since the power of said engine (200) is high, a plurality of said nozzles (6) are provided to realize a satisfactory exhaust treatment effect in the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention. Under the control of said controller (41), said nozzles (6) are used to spray a urea solution into the exhaust pipe (201). The atomized urea solution is decomposed into ammonia in said exhaust pipe (201), and said ammonia can react with nitrogen oxides in the engine exhaust to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides. Considering that the principle of exhaust treatment technology is known to those skilled in the art, detailed description of it is omitted here.


As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 8, said common rail (5) is used to adjust the pressure in the urea spraying system. To be specific, said common rail (5) comprises a monolithic block or shell (50), a pressure detection apparatus (51) and a pressure adjustment apparatus (52) installed on said shell (50), an inlet connector (53) connected to said fluid conveyance apparatus (4) with a high-pressure pipeline, and an outlet connector (54) connected to said urea tank (1) with a return flow pipeline (300).


As shown in FIG. 6, said shell (50) roughly takes the shape of a cuboid, and comprises a first end face (501), a second end face (502), a third end face (503), a fourth end face (504), a front face (505), and a back face (506) opposite said front face, wherein said first end face (501) is set opposite said second end face (502); said third end face (503) is set opposite said fourth end face (504); said front face (505) is perpendicular to all of said first end face (501), second end face (502), third end face (503), and fourth end face (504). As shown in FIG. 4, a mounting hole (5051) is provided at each of the four corners of said front face (505). As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 2, a mounting groove (5061) and a pair of mounting plates (5062) located on the two sides of said mounting groove (5061) are provided on said back face (506). Said common rail (5) is further equipped with screws (5052) used to lock with said mounting holes (5051) to fasten said common rail (5) onto said mounting plates (5062). Said inlet connector (53) and said outlet connector (54) are installed on said first end face (501) and/or said second end face (502). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said inlet connector (53) and said outlet connector (54) are installed on said first end face (501). Said second end face (502) is equipped with threaded holes (5021), and in the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said pressure detection apparatus (51) is a pressure sensor, and is installed on said second end face (502) and connects said inlet passage (531). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said pressure adjustment apparatus (52) is a pressure control valve, and is installed in said mounting groove (5061) and is located between said mounting plates (5062). With such settings, said mounting plates (5062) can protect said pressure control valve. Functionally, said pressure control valve is connected between said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage (541), and said pressure control valve can connect or disconnect said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage (541). For example, when said pressure sensor detects that the pressure in said inlet passage (531) is greater than a set value, said controller (41) opens said pressure control valve to realize pressure relief.


As shown in FIG. 6, the common rail (5) in the present invention is quite different from existing common rails for fuel injection. First of all, a lot of data analysis shows that the pressure which the common rail (5) of the present invention, applied in the urea spraying system, needs to withstand is far lower than what the common rail for fuel injection withstands. Based on such analysis, the cuboid shell (50) disclosed in the present invention has high machinability. More importantly, this provides a feasible solution for the integration of the outlet passage (541) into said common rail (5). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, the diameter of said inlet passage (531) is of course greater than the diameter of said outlet passage (541). The reason for such a design is that scientific analysis shows that the pressures which said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage (541) need to withstand are also different.


As shown in FIG. 7, said common rail (5) comprises a fastening piece (58) which is held on the outside of said pressure sensor (51), said fastening piece (58) is locked together with said threaded hole (5031) through a bolt (581) to fasten said pressure sensor (52) onto said shell (50).


The pressure control valve installed on said common rail (5) has three functions: 1. helping to build up the pressure in the urea pipeline, 2. stabilizing and controlling the pressure after the pressure is built up, 3. with the aid of contra-rotations of said pump (42), drawing the air in said urea tank (1) into the pipeline of said urea spraying system to evacuate the urea solution from said pipeline before said urea spraying system (100) stops.


To be specific, when the system just starts to build up pressure, a lot of air may exist in the pipeline. However, the compressibility of air easily leads to a pressure buildup failure. The pressure control valve designed in the present invention skillfully solves the problem. When the system just starts to build up pressure, said controller (41) controls the opening of said pressure control valve (for example, keeps said pressure control valve at a certain fixed opening angle or a variable opening angle) to connect said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage (541) to provide one channel to release the air in the pipeline so that pressure can quickly be built up in the pipeline.


After the pressure buildup of the system is completed, said controller will quickly adjust the opening angle of said pressure control valve to ensure that the urea pressure in said common rail (5) is maintained around a set pressure and basically remains constant, thus achieving the aim of adjusting the pressure by controlling the return flow volume of the urea solution.


Before said urea spraying system (100) stops, said controller (41) opens said pressure control valve, said pump (42) contra-rotates to draw the air in said urea tank (1) into the pipeline of said urea spraying system to evacuate the urea solution from said pipeline. It should be noted that “before said urea spraying system (100) stops” means that said controller (41) has already received a signal indicating that the system is to stop. At this time, said nozzle (6) has already stopped spraying, but said pump (42) is still rotating (for example, contra-rotating). The purpose of evacuating the urea solution from said pipeline is to prevent the system from being damaged by freezing or expansion of the urea solution.


As shown in FIG. 6, said shell (50) further comprises said inlet passage (531) connected to the inlet connector (53), said outlet passage (541) connected to the outlet connector (54), at least one conveyance port (55) connected to said inlet passage (531), and at least one return flow port (56) connected to said outlet passage (541). Said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage (541) pass through said first end face (501) and/or second end face (502). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage (541) both pass through said first end face (501). Said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage (541) are parallel to each other, thus facilitating machining. In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, a plurality of said conveyance ports (55) are provided. To be specific, three conveyance ports (55) and three conveyance connectors (551) connected to said conveyance ports (55) are set on said third end face (503). Each conveyance connector (551) is perpendicular to said inlet passage (531). Said three conveyance connectors (551) are arranged at intervals between said first end face (501) and second end face (502). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, a urea mass sensor (57) is installed on the conveyance connector (551) close to said third end face (503). Of course, in other implementation modes, said urea mass sensor (57) can also be installed on any conveyance connector (551); or a urea mass sensor (57) can also be installed on all three conveyance connectors (551). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, the number of said return flow ports (56) is also three, and said three return flow ports (56) and three return flow connectors (561) connected to said return flow ports (56) are set on said fourth end face (504). Each return flow connector (561) is perpendicular to said outlet passage (541). Said three return flow connectors (561) are also arranged at intervals between said first end face (501) and second end face (502). Said conveyance ports (55) run through said third end face (503), and said return flow ports (56) run through said fourth end face (504). The number of said return flow connectors (561) is the same as the number of said conveyance connectors (551), but their mounting directions are the opposite. Each conveyance port (55) is aligned with a corresponding return flow port (56).


In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, three of said nozzles (6) are provided. Each nozzle (6) is equipped with a conveyance pipeline (61) connected to said conveyance port (55) and a return flow pipeline (62) connected to said return flow port (56). With such settings, on the one hand, said nozzles (6) can spray a urea solution into said exhaust pipe (201) for a chemical reaction, and on the other hand, the urea solution flowing back can be utilized to cool said nozzles (6). The urea solution flowing back first gathers in said common rail (5) through the return flow pipeline (62), and then uniformly flows back to said urea tank (1) through the return flow pipeline (300). In the prior art, a solution where said return flow pipelines (62) are directly introduced into said urea tank (1) is usually adopted. In such a solution, each nozzle (6) requires an independent return flow pipeline (62), and thus the cost is very high. In addition, in the applications of the present invention, especially in the exhaust treatment system of a high-power engine, the pipelines between said urea tank (1) and said nozzles (6) are often long, and the existing return flow design cannot satisfy the requirements.


As shown in FIG. 9, the present invention further relates to a control method of the above-mentioned urea spraying system (100) and the control method comprises the following steps:


S1: The urea spraying system (100) is started and said pump (42) starts to work; said pressure adjustment apparatus (52) is opened at a fixed angle or variable angle under the control of said controller (41) to connect said inlet passage (531) and said outlet passage 541); said pump (42) quickly discharges the residual air in the pipeline of said urea spraying system (100) into said urea tank (1) to realize quick pressure buildup.


S2: Said pressure detection apparatus (51) detects the pressure in said inlet passage (531), sends a detection signal to said controller (41), and said controller (41) adjusts the opening angle of said pressure adjustment apparatus (52) according to the signal and adjusts the pressure in said urea spraying system (100) to a set pressure.


S3: Before said urea spraying system (100) stops, said controller (41) opens said pressure adjustment apparatus (52), said pump (42) contra-rotates to draw the air in said urea tank (1) into the pipeline of said urea spraying system (100) to evacuate the urea solution from said pipeline.


As shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 20, in the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said common rail (5) is installed onto said exhaust pipe (201) to form an exhaust post-treatment assembly (400). Said exhaust post-treatment assembly (400) comprises said exhaust pipe (201), a first support (71) installed on said exhaust pipe (201), said common rail (5) installed on said first support (71), an inlet pipeline (532) and an outlet pipeline (542) connected to said common rail (5), many types of sensors (8), a wiring harness (9) connected to said sensors (8), and a second support (72). Said inlet pipeline (532), said outlet pipeline (54), and said wiring harness (9) are all gathered to said second support (72) to facilitate the connection of said exhaust post-treatment assembly (400) with other assemblies.


Said exhaust post-treatment assembly (400) is also equipped with a mounting block (73) located between said first support (71) and said exhaust pipe (201). Said mounting block (73) is welded to said exhaust pipe (201), with a gap (7) reserved between said first support (71) and said exhaust pipe (201). Said gap (7) can relieve high-temperature transfer from the exhaust pipe (201) to said first support (71) to avoid said common rail (5) from being affected. Preferably, heat insulation cotton is filled in said gap (7). In addition, said common rail (5) is welded to said first support (71) with a pair of said mounting plates (5062), that is to say, said common rail (5) is separated from said exhaust pipe (201) a distance by said first support (71) to further relieve the effect of high-temperature on the exhaust pipe (201). Said second support (72) comprises a fixed portion (721) welded on said exhaust pipe (201) and a mounting portion (722) forming an included angle with said fixed portion (721). In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said fixed portion (721) is perpendicular to said mounting portion (722). Said mounting portion (722) is equipped with a plurality of mounting holes (7221), and said wiring harness (9), said inlet pipeline (532), and said outlet pipeline are all gathered in a corresponding mounting hole (7221). Of course, in other implementation modes of the present invention, said fixed portion (722) can also indirectly be installed on said exhaust pipe (201) in other ways. In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said fixed portion (721) and said mounting portion (722) are formed by wholly bending a metal plate. In the illustrated implementation mode of the present invention, said exhaust post-treatment assembly (400) is further equipped with cable clips (91) used to separate said wiring harness (9) and pipe clips (92) used to separate said pipelines or pipes.


Said sensors (8) include pressure sensors (81), temperature sensors (82), and nitrogen-oxygen sensors (83) connected to said wiring harness (9). Of course, the types of said sensors (8) can be flexibly selected according to the design requirements of the system, and will not be described here.


In summary, the structure and layout of the entire exhaust post-treatment assembly (400) are made clear by gathering said wiring harness (9), said inlet pipeline (532), and said outlet pipeline (542) onto the mounting portion (722) of said second support (72). In addition, the gathering of various interfaces greatly facilitates the installation of said exhaust post-treatment assembly (400) with other assemblies.


In addition, the above-mentioned embodiments are only used to describe the present invention, but do not restrict the technical solutions described for the present invention. The understanding of the specification, for example, “run through from front to back” (meaning “run through before other parts are installed), and the description of directions such as front, back, left, right, top, and bottom, should be based on those skilled in the art. Although a detailed description of the present invention is given in the specification with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that a person skilled in the art can still make modifications to or equivalent replacements in the present invention. Technical solutions and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should all fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
