Abstract

The invention discloses a thermostat of an automobile engine. The thermostat of the automobile engine comprises a valve main body and is characterized in that the valve main body comprises a first part and a second part which are vertically arranged. The outer lateral wall of the first part is fixed with the inner side of a pipeline of an automobile cooling system, and the first part and the second part form a whole circle to seal the pipeline. The thermostat of the automobile engine further comprises a driving element made of memory alloy, wherein two ends of the driving element are respectively fixed with the first part and the second part. When cooling liquid in the cooling system reaches a specified value, the driving element deforms to drive the second part to rotate in a radial plane of the pipeline. The driving element is made of the memory alloy instead of traditional paraffin wax, the torsional behavior provided by the memory alloy is utilized to control the opening direction of a valve, and the opening direction of the valve is not the same as the water flow direction but is perpendicular to the water flow direction, so that pressure loss can be reduced by more than 90%, and large space is provided for design of water pumps of users.

Description

Thermostat of automobile engine
Technical field
The present invention relates to the temperature regulator in a kind of cooling system of motor car engine, the thermostat in especially a kind of cooling system pipeline.
Background technique
Thermostat is thermoregulator strength member in engine-cooling system, it regulates according to the height of cooling water temperature the water yield that enters radiator automatically, change the range of DO of water, to regulate the heat dissipation potential of cooling system, guarantee motor is worked in suitable temperature range.Thermostat must keep good state of the art, otherwise can have a strong impact on the normal work of motor.
Conventional thermostat is waxtype thermostat at present, when chilling temperature is during lower than specified value, the paraffin in thermostat temperature sensor is solid-state, thermostat valve under the effect of spring, kill engine and radiator between passage, cooling liquid, through water pump return engine, is carried out short circle in motor.When coolant temperature reaches after specified value, paraffin starts thawing and gradually becomes liquid, volume increases the effect to push rod thereupon makes valve opening, at this moment cooling liquid is via radiator and thermostat valve, flow back to motor through water pump again, carry out major cycle, if notice of authorization number is the disclosed a kind of thermostat of Chinese patent of CN201650435U.
In addition, also there is electric-controlled type thermostat, it is the driving mode coordinating with electromagnetic coil and armature, replace paraffin, by the control of electromagnetic coil being completed to the keying folding of valve, control sensitively, reliability is high, if notice of authorization number is the disclosed a kind of electric-controlled thermostat of Chinese patent of CN202348410U.
These above-mentioned thermostats, valve opening and closing direction is consistent with water (flow) direction, due to the narrow limitation of this structure itself, causes circulating water flow in the time of thermostat, and crushing strengthens, and cooling capacity reduces.And along with the development of automotive engineering, also more and more higher to the requirement of energy consumption, cooling capacity reduces and directly causes pump power constantly to reduce.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide one can significantly reduce crushing, improves the thermostat of automobile engine of cooling capacity.
The present invention solves the problems of the technologies described above adopted technological scheme: a kind of thermostat of automobile engine, comprise valve body, it is characterized in that, described valve body comprises first portion setting up and down and second portion, the outer side wall of described first portion and the pipeline of automobile cooling system inner side are fixing, thereby described first portion and second portion form a full circle seals described pipeline, also comprise the driving element of being made by memory alloy, the two ends of described driving element are fixed with described first portion and second portion respectively, after the cooling liquid of described driving element in described cooling system reaches specified value distortion drive described second portion in described canal path to rotation with in surface.
According to an aspect of the present invention, the equal semicircular in shape of described first portion and second portion, comprises integrated the first arm and the second arm, and the end of described the first arm and described first portion are fixed, the end of described the second arm and described valve body are fixed, and between two arms, have angle.In the time that coolant temperature reaches specified value, driving element starts distortion, and the angle between two arms of driving element increases, thereby can drive second portion at its rotation with in surface with the second arm that second portion is fixed.
According to another aspect of the present invention, described first portion comprises the inner inner circle of being positioned at of concentric setting and is positioned at outside cylindrical, described inner circle is divided into four equal portions to form spaced inner circle solid section and inner circle openwork part, described outer fenestra is divided into four equal portions to form spaced cylindrical solid section and cylindrical openwork part, the setting of staggering of described inner circle solid section and cylindrical solid section, described cylindrical openwork part arranged outside has the eccentric circular ring that angle is identical, identical and two the orthogonal settings of part of the shape of described second portion and first portion, the solid section of first portion and the openwork part of second portion are overlapping thus, the openwork part of first portion and the solid section of second portion are overlapping, two parts form full circle closing pipe line in the time that driving element is not out of shape.
The means of fixation of described driving element and valve body, can fix for one end and described first portion after middle torsion, and the other end is through fixing after the solid section of described second portion.
Also comprise that the signal by receiving the temperature transducer arranging in described pipeline controls the ECU of described driving element, better the keying of valve body is controlled.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the advantages that: driving element memory alloy is replaced to traditional paraffin, the twisting characteristic that utilizes memory alloy to provide, carry out control valve opening direction, the opening direction of valve is no longer consistent with water (flow) direction, but vertical with water (flow) direction, can reduce crushing more than 90%, larger space is provided to the design alternative of user's water pump.
