Description
본 고안은 압축 천연가스(Compressed Natural Gas) (이하 CNG 라 칭함)/ 가솔린(Gasoline) 복합 엔진에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 엔진의 출력 및 배출가스를 고려하여 최적의 엔진 구동 상태를 유지하기 위해 CNG와 가솔린을 복합적으로 이용할 수 있는 CNG/가솔린 복합 엔진에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a Compressed Natural Gas (hereinafter referred to as CNG) / Gasoline composite engine. More specifically, in order to maintain an optimum engine driving state in consideration of the engine output and exhaust gas, A CNG / gasoline combined engine that can combine CNG and gasoline.
일반적으로 내연 기관을 이용하는 자동차는 가솔린, 디젤, LPG와 같은 연료 중에서 단지 하나만을 이용하여 에진을 구동 시킨다.In general, automobiles using internal combustion engines use only one of the fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and LPG to drive the engine.
이 같은 각각의 연료를 사용하는 엔진은 각각 다른 특징을 지니고 있는 바, 예컨대 가솔린 엔진은 고출력에 사용되나 배출 가스가 불리하며, 디젤 엔진 또한 열효율이 높으나 진동 및 소음이 심하게 발생되며, LPG 엔진은 가격이 저렴하고 경제적이나 시동성이 불량하여 그 구조가 복잡하다.Each such fuel-fueled engine has different characteristics. For example, gasoline engines are used for high power but have a disadvantage of exhaust gas. Diesel engines are also highly thermally efficient but generate vibration and noise, and LPG engines are expensive. This structure is inexpensive and economical, but poor in startability.

이 같은 목적은 본 고안의 바람직한 실시예에 의해 달성되는 바, 본 고안의 일면에 따르면, 압축 천연가스(Compressed Natural Gas)/(CNG) 및 가솔린(Gasoline)을 사용하는 CNG/가솔린 복합 엔진에 있어서, 스로틀 포지션 센서 및 RPM 센서에 연결되어 상기 각각의 센서로부터 신호를 공급받아 저속 또는 고속 영역을 판단하여 사용 연료를 선택하는 전자 제어 모듈; 및 상기 전자 제어 모듈에 연결되며, 상기 전자제어모듈로부터 설정된 사용연료 신호에 따라 가솔린 연료 펌프 또는 CNG 솔레노이드 밸브를 작동시켜 각각의 연료 공급 파이프를 통해 각각의 인젝터에 의해 엔진의 실린더에 각각의 해당 연료를 분사시키는 연료 전환 릴레이;로 구성되는 것을 특징으로 한다.This object is achieved by a preferred embodiment of the present invention, according to one aspect of the present invention, in the CNG / gasoline composite engine using compressed natural gas (CNG) and gasoline (Gasoline) An electronic control module connected to a throttle position sensor and an RPM sensor to receive a signal from each of the sensors to determine a low speed or a high speed area to select a fuel to be used; And a corresponding fuel to the cylinder of the engine by a respective injector through a respective fuel supply pipe by operating a gasoline fuel pump or a CNG solenoid valve in accordance with a fuel signal set by the electronic control module, the electronic control module being used. It characterized in that consisting of; fuel switching relay for injecting.
본 고안의 다른면에 따르면, 상기 전자 제어 모듈은 저속영역에서는 CNG를 사용연료로 설정하고 고속 영역에서는 가솔린을 사용연료로 설정하도록 구성되는 것을 특징으로 한다.According to another aspect of the present invention, the electronic control module is configured to set the CNG as the fuel used in the low speed region and the gasoline as the fuel used in the high speed region.
이하 본 고안의 바람직한 실시예를 첨부 도면을 참조로하여 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1에는 본고안에 따른 CNG/가솔린 복합엔진의 구성도가 도시되어 있는바, 본 고안에 따른 CNG/가솔린 복합 엔진은 스로틀 포지션 센서(TPS)(11) 및 RPM 센서(12)가 연결된 전자 제어모듈(ECM)(10) 및 상기 전자제어모듈(10)에 연결된 연료 전환 릴레이(20)를 포함한다.1 is a block diagram of the CNG / gasoline combined engine according to the present invention, the CNG / gasoline combined engine according to the present invention is an electronic control module connected to the throttle position sensor (TPS) 11 and RPM sensor 12 (ECM) 10 and a fuel switching relay 20 connected to the electronic control module 10.
보다 상세히 설명하면, 상기 전자 제어 모듈(10)은 스로틀 포지션 센서(11) 및 RPM센서(12)에 연결되어 각각의 스로틀 밸브의 개도 및 RPM 값을 수신하여 이들 각각의 값을 비교하여 사용 연료를 결정하며, 이 같이 결합된 신호를 연료 전환 릴레이(20)에 송신한다. 상기 연료 전환 릴레이(20)에는 가솔린 연료 펌프(21) 및 CNG 솔레노이드 밸브(22)가 연결되어 있으며, 또한 엔진, 즉, 피스톤(P)에 각각 고정된 가솔린인젝터(GI) 및 CNG 인젝터(I)에 연결되는 각각의 연료 공급하는(23, 24)이 연결되어 있어 전자제어 모듈(10)에서의 신호에 따른 솔레노이드 밸브(22) 및 연료 펌프(23)를 적시에 작동시켜 해당 연료를 각각의 연료 공급관(23,24)을 통해 각각의 인젝터(GI, CI)에 의해 실린더(3)내로 분사 시킨다.In more detail, the electronic control module 10 is connected to the throttle position sensor 11 and the RPM sensor 12 to receive the opening degree and the RPM value of each throttle valve and compare the respective values to use the fuel used. And transmit the combined signal to the fuel switching relay 20. A gasoline fuel pump 21 and a CNG solenoid valve 22 are connected to the fuel switching relay 20, and a gasoline injector GI and a CNG injector I fixed to an engine, that is, a piston P, respectively. Each of the fuel supply units 23 and 24 connected to each other is connected to operate the solenoid valve 22 and the fuel pump 23 in a timely manner according to a signal from the electronic control module 10 to supply the corresponding fuel to each fuel. The injectors GI and CI are injected into the cylinder 3 through the supply pipes 23 and 24.
참고로 CNG와 가솔린은 그 엔진 출력 성능은 유사하나 CNG는 탄산 가스의 배출량이 작아 배출 가스면에서 유리하며, 가솔린은 고출력 영역에서 출력 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.For reference, CNG and gasoline have similar engine output performance, but CNG is advantageous in terms of emission gas due to low carbon dioxide emission, and gasoline has excellent output performance in high power range.
이 같은 본 고안에 따른 CNG/가솔린 복합 엔진의 작동에 있어서, 먼저 저속을 요하는 시내교통 주행 조건에서 스로틀 포지션 센서(11)로부터 액셀레이터 페달의 조작 상태가 또한 RPM 센서(12)로부터 낮은 RPM 값이 전자 제어 모듈(10)에 전달되면 전자 제어 모듈(10)은 저속 영역임을 감지하여 연료를 CNG로 결정한다.In the operation of the CNG / gasoline combined engine according to the present invention, first, the operation state of the accelerator pedal from the throttle position sensor 11 is lowered from the RPM sensor 12 in the city traffic driving condition requiring low speed. When the electronic control module 10 is delivered to the electronic control module 10, the electronic control module 10 detects that the low speed region determines the fuel as CNG.
이후 전자 제어 모듈(10)은 이 같은 CNG 연료 사용 신호를 연료 전환 릴레이(20)에 송신하면, 상기 연료 전환 릴레이(20)는 CNG 솔레노이드 밸브(22)로부터 배출되어 연료 공급 라인(24)을 통해 공급되며 CNG 인젝터(CI)에 의해 실린더(S)내로 분사된다. 이에따라 저속에서는 CNG를 연료로하여 엔진이 구동된다.Thereafter, when the electronic control module 10 transmits such a CNG fuel use signal to the fuel switching relay 20, the fuel switching relay 20 is discharged from the CNG solenoid valve 22 to be supplied through the fuel supply line 24. It is supplied and injected into the cylinder S by the CNG injector CI. Accordingly, the engine is driven at low speed with CNG as fuel.
한편, 고속도로 주행시 또는 추월과 같이 고속이 요구되는 경우에는 스로틀 포지션 센서(11) 및 RPH(12) 센서로부터 높은 범위의 엑셀레이터 페달 조작 범위 및 높은 RPH 값이 전자 제어 모듈(10)에 전달되면, 전자 제어모듈(10)은 고속 영역임을 감지하여 연료를 가솔린으로 결정한다. 이후 전자제어 모듈(10)이 이 같은 가솔린 연료 사용 신호를 연료 전환 릴레이(20)에 송신하면, 상기 연료 전환 릴레이(20)는 가솔린 연료 펌프(21)만을 작동시키며, 이에따라 가솔린은 연료 탱크(21a)로부터 배출되어 연료 공급 라인(23)을 통해 공급되어 가솔린 인젝터(GI)에 의해 실린더(S)내로 분사된다. 이에따라 고속에서는 가솔린이 연료를 사용된다.On the other hand, when a high speed is required, such as when driving on a highway or passing, a high range of accelerator pedal operation range and a high RPH value are transmitted from the throttle position sensor 11 and the RPH 12 sensor to the electronic control module 10. The control module 10 determines that the fuel is gasoline by detecting that it is a high speed region. Thereafter, when the electronic control module 10 transmits such a gasoline fuel use signal to the fuel switching relay 20, the fuel switching relay 20 operates only the gasoline fuel pump 21, and accordingly, the gasoline is supplied to the fuel tank 21a. And discharged through the fuel supply line 23 is injected into the cylinder S by the gasoline injector GI. As a result, gasoline uses fuel at high speeds.
결국 저속에서는 배출 가스 성능이 우수한 CNG가 주연료로 사용되며, 고속에서는 고출력시 상대적으로 우수한 출력 성능을 지니는 가솔린이 주연료로 사용된다. 물론 이 같은 연료의 전환은 차속에 따라 반복적으로 실행됨은 자명하다.As a result, at low speeds, CNG is used as the main fuel with excellent emission performance, and at high speeds, gasoline is used as the main fuel, which has a relatively good output performance at high power. Of course, such a fuel change is obviously performed repeatedly according to the vehicle speed.
결과적으로, 본 고안에 따른 CNG/가솔린 복합 엔진을 자동차에 채용하면, 자동차의 속도, 즉, 엔진의 출력에 따라 CNG와 가솔린이 적절히 전환되어 사용될 수 있어 배출 가스로 인한 대기 오염을 방지할 수 있음은 물론, 적시에 고출력을 달성할 수 있어 각각의 연료의 장점을 최대로 이용할 수 있다.As a result, when the CNG / gasoline combined engine according to the present invention is employed in a vehicle, CNG and gasoline can be properly converted and used according to the speed of the vehicle, that is, the output of the engine, thereby preventing air pollution due to exhaust gas. Of course, timely high power can be achieved to take full advantage of the benefits of each fuel.
이상에서 본 고안에 따른 바람직한 실시예에 대해 설명하였지만, 본 기술 분야의 당업자라면 첨부된 실용신안 등록청구의 범위를 벗어남이 없이 다양한 변형예 및 수정예를 실시할 수 있을 것으로 이해된다.Although a preferred embodiment according to the present invention has been described above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
