Background
In the field of automobiles, increasing the air intake of an engine is an effective means for improving the dynamic performance of the engine. For example, in the prior art, the air in the air intake system of the engine is compressed and then introduced into the engine cylinder by using mechanical supercharging and exhaust gas turbocharging technologies, so that the air intake amount of the engine is increased. From the gas equation of state we can see that: where m is pV/RT (m denotes an intake air amount, p denotes an intake pressure, V denotes an engine exhaust gas amount, and T denotes an intake air temperature), m is proportional to p and inversely proportional to T when V is constant. The compressed air can be increased by utilizing the turbocharging and mechanical supercharging technology to increase the intake pressure p, so that the intake air quantity m of the engine is improved, and the output power of the engine can be improved.
However, as the temperature T of the intake air after compression increases, the tendency for pre-ignition and knocking in the engine increases, particularly when the engine is operating at medium and high loads. To avoid pre-ignition and knocking, measures have to be taken to reduce the engine compression ratio, which in turn increases the fuel consumption of the engine at medium and low loads, resulting in increased exhaust gas temperatures, increased thermal load on the exhaust system, and reduced fuel economy.

Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
The vehicle includes at least an engine air intake system for supplying air to engine cylinders.
Referring to fig. 1, an engine intake system I may include an intake passage I and a refrigerant branch ii; the refrigerant branch ii can comprise a first distribution valve 1 and a heat exchanger 2 which are communicated, and the heat exchanger 2 is connected into the air inlet path i; the first distributing valve 1 can be opened to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii and the heat exchanger 2 is adapted to flow the refrigerant therethrough to exchange heat with the air in the intake passage i.
Therefore, in an applicable scheme, when the engine is in medium and high load operation, the first distribution valve 1 can be opened to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii, and the refrigerant can flow in the refrigerant branch ii and exchange heat with the air in the air inlet channel i through the heat exchanger 2, so that the temperature of the air in the air inlet channel i is reduced. This may significantly reduce the tendency for pre-ignition, knocking within the engine cylinder. In this case, no measures are taken to lower the engine compression ratio, but the engine compression ratio may be held at a larger value. Furthermore, the engine has high compression ratio, so that the oil consumption of the engine under medium and low load can be reduced, the exhaust temperature is reduced, the heat load of an exhaust system is reduced, and the fuel economy is improved. Furthermore, when the engine is at medium and low loads, the air in the engine air intake system is not cooled, the intake air is not cooled, no mechanical energy is consumed, and only positive benefits are obtained by increasing the compression ratio, so that the economy of the whole vehicle can be improved.
On the other hand, at medium and high load of the engine, we can see from the gas state equation: when the intake temperature T is lowered, the intake air amount m can be increased to a certain extent, the output power of the engine is increased, and the engine dynamic property is improved.
The refrigerant branch II can be connected to the vehicle air conditioning system II, and the vehicle air conditioning system II is used to provide refrigerant to the heat exchanger 2. The vehicle air conditioning system II may comprise a compressor 3, a condenser 4 and an air conditioning branch iii; the compressor 3, the condenser 4 and the refrigerant branch ii are communicated with the compressor 3 in sequence; the air conditioning branch iii may comprise an evaporator 5 and a second distribution valve 6 in communication, and the compressor 3, the condenser 4, the air conditioning branch iii and the compressor 3 may be in communication in sequence.
The first distribution valve 1 is opened to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii, and the compressor 3, the condenser 4, and the refrigerant branch ii form a heat exchange circulation path, and the refrigerant circulates along the compressor 3, the condenser 4, and the heat exchanger 2 in this order to the compressor 3, and the refrigerant exchanges heat with another medium in the heat exchanger 2.
Therefore, it is expected that the refrigeration cycle of the compressor 3 may be turned on and the refrigerant may circulate along the dotted arrow C shown in fig. 1 when the engine is in the middle and high load operation. At the same time, the first distributing valve 1 may be opened to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii, and the refrigerant may flow in the heat exchanger 2 and exchange heat with the air in the intake passage i during the flow, so that the temperature of the refrigerant is increased and the temperature of the air is decreased. This may significantly reduce the tendency for pre-ignition, knocking within the engine cylinder 10.
In addition, the second distribution valve 6 can be opened to communicate with the air-conditioning branch iii, the compressor 3, the condenser 4, and the air-conditioning branch iii constitute an air-conditioning circulation path, and the refrigerant can circulate along the compressor 3, the condenser 4, and the evaporator 5 in this order to the compressor 3, which is used for cooling or heating the vehicle interior. Therefore, the first distributing valve 1 and the second distributing valve 6 can be controlled independently of each other to reasonably control the connection and disconnection of the respective branch. Thus, the air conditioning branch iii and the refrigerant branch ii may be separately communicated or simultaneously communicated. For example, the first and second distribution valves 1 and 6 are controlled to be opened simultaneously, and the refrigerant can flow in the air conditioning branch iii and the refrigerant branch ii, respectively. In the process, the opening degrees of the first distributing valve 1 and the second distributing valve 6 can be adjusted according to the temperature reduction amplitude required by the two branches, so that the refrigerant flow on each branch can be reasonably controlled.
In addition, the automobile is in middle and low load operation for most of time, and the middle and high loads do not belong to normal working conditions, so even if the air inlet passage i is cooled when the automobile is in middle and high load operation, the cooling or heating effect in the compartment is basically not influenced due to the short time.
The refrigerant branch ii and the air-conditioning branch iii share the first end A and the second end B. The compressor 3, the condenser 4, the first end a, the second end B and the compressor 3 are sequentially communicated according to the flow direction of the refrigerant. For example, the first end a may be provided with a three-way valve communicating with the heat exchanger 2, the compressor 3 and the evaporator 5, and the second end B may be provided with another three-way valve communicating with the first distribution valve 1, the second distribution valve 6 and the condenser 4.
At the start of the cold engine of the vehicle, the heating cycle of the compressor 3 may be turned on, and referring to fig. 2, the refrigerant flows through the circulation path indicated by the arrow H, and the heating circulation path is the reverse of the cooling circulation path. The temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 3 is high, the refrigerant exchanges heat with the air in the air inlet passage i when flowing through the heat exchanger 2, the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced, the temperature of the air in the air inlet passage i is increased, the temperature of an engine cylinder can be increased in a short time, the friction work generated when the engine works can be reduced, and the energy loss is reduced. In addition, the exhaust temperature can quickly reach the ignition temperature of the three-way catalyst, the emission performance is favorably improved, and a certain amount of condensed liquid refrigerant is prepared for later use in cooling the intake air.
Referring to fig. 1, in an engine intake system I, an intake passage I includes an intake pipe 11, and air can flow into the intake pipe 11 in a direction D and finally flow into an engine cylinder 10. The heat exchanger 2 may be provided in the intake pipe 11 so that the refrigerant can exchange heat with air in the intake pipe 11. In connection with fig. 3, the heat exchanger 2 may comprise: an inner tube 21 and an outer tube 22 sleeved outside the inner tube 21, wherein a closed cavity 20 is arranged between the inner tube 21 and the outer tube 22.
Therefore, the heat exchanger 2 may be sleeved outside the air inlet pipe 11 through the inner pipe 21 and fixedly connected thereto, the closed cavity 20 between the inner pipe 21 and the outer pipe 22 has two ports 20a connected thereto, and may be respectively communicated with the compressor 3 and the first distribution valve 1, and the refrigerant flowing in the closed cavity 20 exchanges heat with the air in the air inlet pipe 11 through the pipe wall of the inner pipe 21 and the pipe wall of the air inlet pipe 11. In one example, the air inlet pipe may include at least two sections, the heat exchanger may be inserted between the two adjacent sections and may enable the inner pipe to communicate with the two adjacent sections of the air inlet pipe, and the air in the air inlet pipe may flow in the inner pipe and may be heat-exchanged with the refrigerant. In another example, the heat exchanger may be disposed within the inlet tube such that the inner tube is in communication with the inlet tube and the two ports of the closed chamber may extend out of the inlet tube.
Referring to fig. 1, the air intake path i may include an air cleaner 12, the air cleaner 12 for filtering foreign substances in the air, and the heat exchanger 2 may be disposed downstream of the air cleaner 12. On one hand, the heat exchanger 2 cools or heats the filtered air, which can improve the utilization rate of the refrigerant; on the other hand, the structure and shape of the air cleaner 12 itself may cause difficulty in mounting the heat exchanger 2, and therefore, the heat exchanger 2 may be provided on the intake pipe downstream of the air cleaner 12, facilitating assembly.
Referring to fig. 4, the intake path i may further include an intercooler 13, and the heat exchanger 2' may be disposed downstream of the intercooler 13. The intercooler 13 is generally used in combination with a supercharger 14, and the supercharger 14 is used to supercharge the air in the intake pipe 11 to increase the intake air amount, but the temperature of the compressed air is increased, so that the intercooler 13 can perform a cooling process before the air enters the engine cylinder 10. Under medium and high loads, the ideal cooling effect cannot be achieved by only relying on the intercooler 13. In contrast, the heat exchanger 2' is capable of reducing the temperature of the air entering the engine cylinder 10 over a wide range, which may reduce the air entering the engine cylinder 10 to a desired value to minimize the tendency for pre-ignition and knocking.
Furthermore, the heat exchanger 2' is relatively close to the engine block 10. The closer to the engine cylinder 10, the higher the temperature of the air in the intake pipe 11, the greater the temperature difference with the refrigerant in the heat exchanger 2', and thus the higher the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant and the air.
Therefore, the engine intake system I may include both the heat exchangers 2 and 2', and the two heat exchangers 2 and 2' share the input and output ends and are connected to communicate with the first distribution valve 1 to form the refrigerant branch ii. Therefore, the first distribution valve 1 can control the heat exchangers 2 and 2' to communicate with the compressor 3 and the condenser 4 at the same time.
In addition to this, the heat exchanger may have three or more. Therefore, the heat exchangers can have at least two, all of which share the input end and the output end and can be communicated with the first distribution valve after being connected to form the refrigerant branch. Wherein the at least one heat exchanger may be arranged between the air cleaner and the intercooler, the at least one heat exchanger being arranged downstream of the intercooler.
With combined reference to fig. 1, the present invention also provides a control method of an engine intake system I, which may include:
firstly, receiving a vehicle speed signal and an oil injection quantity signal in an engine, for example, collecting the vehicle speed signal from a vehicle speed sensor and collecting the oil injection quantity signal from an automobile ECU;
secondly, comparing the received fuel injection quantity signal with a fuel injection quantity threshold value required by the vehicle speed signal, and generating a first comparison signal when the fuel injection quantity signal is equal to or greater than the fuel injection quantity threshold value;
after receiving the first comparison signal, the compressor 3 is controlled to start the refrigeration cycle and the first distribution valve 1 is controlled to open to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii.
The automobile ECU acquires displacement signals from an accelerator pedal and acquires the speed from a speed sensor, and the oil injection threshold required by the current speed can be obtained through a series of calculations. If the current fuel injection quantity signal acquired under the current vehicle speed signal exceeds the fuel injection quantity threshold value, the automobile is judged to be in medium and high load, so that the compressor 3 can be controlled to start a refrigeration cycle and the first distribution valve 1 is controlled to be opened to cool air in the air inlet channel i.
Further, referring to fig. 2, the control method of the engine intake system I may further include:
firstly, receiving an engine water temperature signal, for example, collecting a water temperature signal from a water temperature sensor;
then, comparing the water temperature signal with a water temperature threshold, and generating a second comparison signal when the water temperature signal is lower than or equal to the water temperature threshold;
after receiving the second comparison signal, the compressor 3 is controlled to start the heating cycle and the first distributing valve 1 is controlled to open to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii. Particularly, when the current water temperature is lower than or equal to the water temperature threshold value just after the engine is started, the engine is judged to be in a cold state, so that the compressor 3 is controlled to start a heating cycle and the first distribution valve 1 is controlled to be opened to heat the air in the air inlet path i.
The control method of the engine intake system I further includes:
firstly, receiving a vehicle brake signal, for example, receiving the vehicle brake signal from a vehicle brake switch;
after receiving the automobile braking signal, the compressor 3 is controlled to start the heating cycle and the first distributing valve 1 is controlled to be opened to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii. When the automobile is braked, the engine rotates due to inertia, the compressor 3 is controlled to start a heating cycle and the first distribution valve 1 is controlled to be opened at the moment, high-temperature gaseous refrigerant flowing through the heat exchanger 2 can exchange heat with air in the air inlet channel i, and the gaseous refrigerant is cooled to become liquid refrigerant to be stored and reserved for the next refrigeration cycle. Therefore, the braking energy can be recovered in the process, and the energy utilization rate is improved. Especially on urban roads with traffic jam, the automobiles may need to be braked frequently, so that the recoverable brake energy accumulated is still considerable.
Referring to fig. 1 in combination with fig. 5, the present invention provides a control unit 7 capable of implementing the control method, where the control unit 7 includes: the receiving unit 71 is used for receiving a vehicle speed signal and an oil injection quantity signal in the engine;
a first comparing unit 72, configured to receive the vehicle speed signal and the fuel injection quantity signal from the receiving unit 71, compare the fuel injection quantity signal with a fuel injection quantity threshold required by the vehicle speed signal, and generate a first comparison signal when the fuel injection quantity signal is equal to or greater than the fuel injection quantity threshold;
and the instruction unit 73 is configured to, after receiving the first comparison signal, control the compressor 3 to start the refrigeration cycle and control the first distribution valve 1 to open to communicate the refrigerant branch ii.
The receiving unit 71 may communicate with a vehicle speed sensor to collect a vehicle speed signal and simultaneously communicate with a vehicle ECU to collect an injection quantity signal from the vehicle ECU.
Referring to fig. 2 and 5, the receiving unit 71 is also used for receiving an engine water temperature signal;
the control unit 7 further includes: a second comparing unit 74 for receiving the water temperature signal and comparing the water temperature signal with a water temperature threshold, and generating a second comparison signal when the water temperature signal is lower than or equal to the water temperature threshold;
the instruction unit 73 is further configured to: after receiving the second comparison signal, controlling the compressor 3 to start a heating cycle and controlling the first distribution valve 1 to open to communicate with the refrigerant branch ii. Therefore, the receiving unit 71 may also communicate with an engine water temperature sensor to collect a water temperature signal.
