Background

Existing urea injection systems include air-assisted and non-air-assisted. Among other things, non-air assisted urea injection systems typically include a pump, a filter, a metering nozzle connected to the pump, and a number of sensors. Such urea injection systems often have very high demands on the metering nozzle, which is easily affected in metering accuracy by the high temperatures of the exhaust gases, even burnt out by the high temperatures, as the metering nozzle is mounted on the exhaust pipe. In addition, the urea solution can freeze and expand in volume under cold conditions, so how to empty the residual urea solution in the system and reduce the risk of freezing the system is also a problem to be solved by the system. Air-assisted urea injection systems introduce compressed air to enhance the effectiveness of urea atomization, which has been favored by many manufacturers.

At the initial stage of building up the urea injection system, how to identify whether the pressure build-up is successful is a common technical problem in the industry.

The wire harness assembly 6 includes a pneumatic valve 61 mounted on the pump housing 31, a first pressure sensor 62 mounted on the boss 315, and a second pressure sensor 63 mounted on the mounting boss 195. Wherein the pneumatic valve 61 is fixed by a screw fixed in the screw hole 3136. The air pressure valve 61 is communicated with the air inlet hole 3135, one end of the second connecting pipe assembly 52 is connected with the air inlet joint 146, and the other end is connected with the air pressure valve 61.

Referring to fig. 4 and 18, the first pressure sensor 62 is installed at the outlet of the liquid path 101 to detect the outlet pressure. The first pressure sensor 62 includes a first body 621, a first detecting portion 622 extending downward beyond the first body 621, a sealing ring 623 fitted over the first detecting portion 622, and a first positioning boss 624 extending downward from the first body 621. Referring to fig. 20 and 21, when assembling, the first detecting portion 622 and the sealing ring 623 are first inserted into the second insertion hole 3153, and then the first pressure sensor 62 is rotated toward the recess 3151, so that the first positioning protrusion 624 is locked in the recess 3151. At this time, the stopper 3152 can restrict the upward movement of the first positioning protrusion 624 in the vertical direction, thereby functioning as a limit function.

Similarly, referring to fig. 4 and 19, the second pressure sensor 63 is installed at the outlet of the gas path 102 to detect the outlet pressure. The second pressure sensor 63 includes a second body portion 631, a second sensing portion 632 extending downward beyond the second body portion 631, a sealing ring 633 sleeved on the second sensing portion 632, a second positioning boss 634 extending downward from the second body portion 631, and a third positioning boss 635 extending rearward from the second body portion 631. Referring to fig. 20 and 21, when assembling, the second detecting portion 632 and the sealing ring 633 are first inserted into the first inserting hole 1953, and then the second pressure sensor 63 is rotated (e.g. rotated clockwise) toward the recess 1951, so that the second positioning protrusion 634 is snapped into the recess 1951. At this time, the stopper wall 1952 can restrict upward movement of the second positioning protrusion 634 in the vertical direction, thereby functioning as a stopper. Then, a screw 1955 is fixed in the screw hole 1954. So configured, the screw 1955 can interfere with the third positioning protrusion 635 to prevent the second pressure sensor 63 from rotating (e.g., counter-clockwise) away from the stop wall 1952.

Referring to fig. 18 to 21, in the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the first pressure sensor 62 and the second pressure sensor 63 have the same structure, so as to save costs. The circuit portions of the air pressure valve 61, the first pressure sensor 62, and the second pressure sensor 63 are all connected to the harness connector 148 by a flat cable.

Referring to fig. 22, 25 to 27, the thick arrows represent the flow direction of urea solution, the thin solid arrows represent the flow direction of air, and the thin dotted arrows represent the flow direction of air during emptying. When the urea injection assembly 100 is in operation, with respect to the direction of the liquid path 101, the urea solution enters the filter assembly 2 from the urea inlet fitting 149, then enters the first through hole 192, is pressurized and output into the channel 3141 by the pump 32, then enters the first connecting tube 514, passes through the throttle 511, and finally exits from the urea outlet fitting 145.

With respect to the orientation of the air path 102, compressed air enters from the air inlet fitting 146, passes through the air pressure valve 61, and enters the chamber 3131 from the air inlet 3135. In normal conditions (not empty), the one-way valve 3137 closes, i.e. the air channel 3133 closes. Referring to fig. 22, at this time, the compressed air can only enter the second connection pipe 3183, then enter the second through hole 193 and the air outlet passage 194, and finally exit from the air outlet connector 147.

In the emptying state, please refer to fig. 22, at this time, the check valve 3137 is opened, at least a part of the compressed air enters the air channel 3133 (as indicated by the dashed arrow), and then is converged into the channel 3141, so as to empty the pipeline located behind the outlet of the pump in the urea flow direction, thereby reducing the risk of urea icing.

It should be noted that, since the filling block 21 is added in the present invention, the volume of the containing chamber 191 for containing the urea solution is reduced, and in this case, even if the piping in front of the outlet of the pump is not emptied, the low-temperature test can be performed, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the system design.

The above embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the technical solutions described in the present invention, and the understanding of the present specification should be based on the description of the directivity of the present invention such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", etc., and although the present specification has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified or equivalent by those skilled in the art, and all the technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered by the claims of the present invention.
