DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, and this is merely a way of distinguishing the objects of the same attributes when describing them in the embodiments of the present application.

[0019] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, this application improves the suppression of oil emulsification and the operating reliability of hydrogen internal combustion engines compared to existing technologies. Specifically, there are several main reasons for oil emulsification. First, the existing method of using a supercharger as a crankcase air supply source. When the hydrogen internal combustion engine is under high load, the supercharger must prioritize the operation of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, resulting in a reduction in the amount of gas entering the crankcase. The reduced gas volume will lead to a decrease in gas flow rate, which will reduce the outflow rate of gas in the crankcase, thereby increasing the water content in the crankcase, causing water separation and oil emulsification. Second, existing centrifugal oil-gas separators mainly use centrifugal force based on the density difference between oil vapor and water vapor to achieve oil-gas separation, but this also results in a relatively high water content in the exhaust gas. The gas discharged from the oil-gas separator is then introduced into the supercharger, resulting in an increase in the water content of the supercharger output gas, which in turn leads to water separation in the crankcase intake air and oil emulsification. This solution, however, connects the crankcase's air outlet to the condensing oil-gas separator's inlet via an air duct. When the crankcase's moisture content is no less than the moisture separation threshold and the temperature of the mixture discharged from the crankcase is no less than the high-temperature limit, the condensing oil-gas separator is controlled to operate at full power. This increases the crankcase gas outflow rate when the hydrogen internal combustion engine is under high load, preventing a continuous increase in the crankcase gas moisture content and suppressing oil emulsification. Furthermore, a thermostat is deployed in the air duct, and when the mixture temperature is not within the moisture condensation temperature range, the thermostat is controlled to maintain the mixture temperature within the moisture condensation temperature range. This improves the efficiency of the condensing oil-gas separator in condensing and separating moisture from the mixture, reducing the moisture content of the gas entering the supercharger and, consequently, the crankcase gas. This improves the suppression of oil emulsification and the operational reliability of hydrogen internal combustion engines.

[0020] The first aspect of the present application provides a crankcase air filling system, which is applied to a hydrogen internal combustion engine, such as Figure 1 As shown, the crankcase air supply system includes: Air guide pipe 101, condensing oil-gas separator 102, thermostat 103 and controller 104, The gas outlet of the crankcase of the hydrogen internal combustion engine is connected to the inlet of the condensing oil-gas separator 102 through the gas guide pipe 101. The thermostat 103 is disposed in the gas guide pipe 101. The exhaust port of the condensing oil-gas separator 102 is connected to the air inlet of the supercharger of the hydrogen internal combustion engine. The controller 104 is electrically connected to the thermostat 103 and the condensing oil-gas separator 102, respectively, and is used to control the condensing oil-gas separator 102 to operate at full power when the water content of the crankcase is not less than the water analysis threshold and the temperature of the mixture discharged from the crankcase is not less than the high temperature limit; it is also used to control the thermostat 103 to control the temperature of the mixture in the air guide pipe 101 so that the temperature of the mixture is within the water condensation temperature range when the temperature of the mixture is not within the water condensation temperature range.

[0021] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, the thermostat 103 can be a device that is connected to the cooling system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine and uses the high-temperature or low-temperature medium in the cooling system to control the temperature of the mixture in the gas duct. It can also be a temperature control device composed of an electric heating device and an electric cooling device. This application does not impose any restrictions or detailed description on the specific type of the thermostat 103.

[0022] It should be noted that, in practical applications, the condensing oil-gas separator 102 comprises a condensing zone and a separation zone. After a hydrogen internal combustion engine burns hydrogen fuel, the exhaust gas is a gaseous mixture consisting of residual hydrogen, water vapor, and oil vapor. Existing centrifugal oil-gas separators used in vehicles primarily separate gas and oil vapor to provide high-temperature gas for the supercharger. This results in water vapor being included in the gas and oil separated by existing oil-gas separators. The present application deploys a thermostat 103 in the air duct 101 connecting the air outlet of the crankcase and the inlet of the condensing oil-gas separator 102, and controls the thermostat 103 to control the temperature of the mixture in the air duct 101 when the temperature of the mixture is not in the water condensation temperature range, so that the temperature of the mixture is in the water condensation temperature range, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the condensing oil-gas separator for water vapor in the mixture, reducing the water content in the exhaust gas and the engine oil, and further reducing the water content of the gas input into the crankcase from the supercharger, as well as the water content of the engine oil in the crankcase oil pan, thereby improving the effect of suppressing the emulsification of the engine oil.

[0023] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, the increased hydrogen fuel injection rate when a hydrogen internal combustion engine is under high load leads to increased hydrogen concentration, water content, and temperature in the crankcase. This makes the hydrogen in the crankcase susceptible to high temperatures, resulting in a risk of deflagration. Furthermore, a higher water content also increases the risk of water separation, which in turn causes oil emulsification. Therefore, when the water content and temperature are high, the outflow rate of the gas in the crankcase needs to be increased. When a hydrogen internal combustion engine is under high load, the supercharger must prioritize engine operation, resulting in a reduced gas volume and a lower flow rate of gas output from the supercharger to the crankcase. Therefore, the present application controls the condensing oil-gas separator 102 to operate at full power when the crankcase water content is not less than the water separation threshold and the temperature of the mixture discharged from the crankcase is not less than the high temperature limit. This increases the outflow rate of the gas in the crankcase, thereby improving the suppression of hydrogen deflagration and oil emulsification and enhancing the operational reliability of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0024] This application controls the condensing oil-gas separator to operate at full power when the crankcase water content is no less than a water separation threshold and the temperature of the mixture discharged from the crankcase is no less than a high temperature limit. This increases the outflow rate of crankcase gas, thereby improving the suppression of hydrogen deflagration and oil emulsification. Furthermore, a thermostat is deployed in the air duct connecting the crankcase gas outlet and the condensing oil-gas separator inlet. When the mixture temperature is not within the water condensation temperature range, the thermostat is controlled to control the temperature of the mixture in the air duct to maintain the mixture temperature within the water condensation temperature range. This improves the condensing oil-gas separator's water vapor separation efficiency, reduces the water content in the exhaust gas and engine oil, and further reduces the water content of the gas input from the supercharger to the crankcase, as well as the water content of the engine oil in the crankcase sump, thereby improving the suppression of engine oil emulsification. This application thus improves the suppression of hydrogen deflagration and engine oil emulsification, and enhances the operational reliability of hydrogen internal combustion engines.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the crankcase air supply system provided in the first aspect of the present application further includes: A first flow regulating valve, a second flow regulating valve, a first air supply pipeline and a second air supply pipeline, The first end of the first air supply line is connected to the outlet of the supercharger, the second end of the first air supply line is connected to the air inlet of the crankcase, the first end of the second air supply line is connected to the outlet of the air filter of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, and the second end of the second air supply line is connected to the air inlet of the crankcase; The first flow regulating valve is disposed in the first air supply pipeline, and the second flow regulating valve is disposed in the second air supply pipeline; The controller 104 is electrically connected to the first flow regulating valve and the second flow regulating valve, respectively, and is used to control the first flow regulating valve and the second flow regulating valve to open to an opening that is adapted to both the ambient humidity and the speed of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, wherein the opening of the first flow regulating valve that is adapted to both the ambient humidity and the speed of the hydrogen internal combustion engine is different from the opening of the second flow regulating valve that is adapted to both the ambient humidity and the speed of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0026] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, since the supercharger is driven by the hydrogen internal combustion engine, when the hydrogen internal combustion engine is in a high-load operating state, the supercharger can continuously output a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas. However, when the hydrogen internal combustion engine is in a low-load operating state, the supercharger will not be able to stably and continuously output high-temperature and high-pressure gas, resulting in the gas volume used for crankcase air replenishment being unable to meet the crankcase air replenishment demand. Therefore, the present application provides a two-way air intake air path structure by configuring a first air replenishment line connecting the outlet of the supercharger and the air inlet of the crankcase, and a second air replenishment line connecting the outlet of the air filter and the air inlet of the crankcase, thereby using the air volume output by the air filter to supplement the air volume reduced by the supercharger due to the load state of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, thereby meeting the crankcase air replenishment demand under different load states and improving the operational reliability of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0027] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, since the air filter is a device that introduces ambient air into the hydrogen internal combustion engine or crankcase, this results in a higher water content of the gas input by the air filter when the external humidity is high, which in turn leads to an increase in the water content of the gas entering the crankcase. Therefore, the present application configures the first flow regulating valve and the second flow regulating valve to be respectively controlled to open to an opening that is adapted to both the ambient humidity and the speed of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, and configures the first flow regulating valve to have an opening that is adapted to both the ambient humidity and the speed of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, which is different from the opening of the second flow regulating valve to have an opening that is adapted to both the ambient humidity and the speed of the hydrogen internal combustion engine. By adjusting the opening of the flow regulating valve, the high-temperature gas output by the supercharger is used to heat and dilute the gas in the crankcase, thereby avoiding the risk of water analysis in the air inside the crankcase due to the excessively high water content of the gas input by the air filter, thereby improving the inhibitory effect on oil emulsification.

[0028] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, the aforementioned openings adapted to both ambient humidity and the speed of the hydrogen internal combustion engine can be determined based on test calibration of the hydrogen internal combustion engine. For example, when the hydrogen internal combustion engine's speed is in the high-speed range and the ambient humidity is low, the low ambient humidity causes the air filter's output gas to have a low moisture content. Simultaneously, the high-speed range causes the supercharger's output gas volume to decrease. Therefore, the second flow control valve's opening can be configured to be larger than the first flow control valve's opening, thereby using the air filter's output gas volume to supplement the crankcase intake air volume. Conversely, when the hydrogen internal combustion engine's speed is in the high-speed range and the ambient humidity is high, the high ambient humidity causes the air filter's output gas to have a high moisture content. Therefore, the first flow control valve's opening can be configured to be larger than the second flow control valve's opening, thereby utilizing the high-temperature gas output from the supercharger to dilute and heat the crankcase gas. This application does not impose any further limitations or elaboration on the aforementioned specific openings.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the controller 104 is further configured to control the condensing oil-gas separator 102 to operate at a minimum power state when the water content is less than a water separation threshold and the mixture temperature is less than a low temperature limit.

[0030] Alternatively, when the water content is less than the water separation threshold and the mixture temperature is not less than the low temperature limit and less than the high temperature limit, the condensing oil-gas separator 102 is controlled to operate in the first power state.

[0031] Alternatively, when the water content is less than the water separation threshold and the mixture temperature is not less than the high temperature limit, the condensing oil-gas separator 102 is controlled to operate at the second power state.

[0032] Alternatively, when the water content is not less than the water separation threshold and the mixture temperature is less than the low temperature limit, the condensing oil-gas separator 102 is controlled to operate at the third power state.

[0033] Alternatively, when the water content is not less than the water separation threshold and the mixture temperature is not less than the low temperature limit and less than the high temperature limit, the condensing oil-gas separator 102 is controlled to operate in a fourth power state, wherein the operating power of the fourth power state is greater than the operating power of the third power state, the operating power of the third power state is greater than the operating power of the second power state, the operating power of the second power state is greater than the operating power of the first power state, and the operating power of the first power state is greater than the operating power of the minimum power state.

[0034] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the above-mentioned water separation threshold is the minimum temperature value at which water in the crankcase gas separates out.

[0035] It should be noted that, in actual application scenarios, the low-temperature limit represents the temperature at which hydrogen deflagration will not occur, while the high-temperature limit represents the temperature at which hydrogen deflagration occurs at a relatively high temperature. The low-temperature limit is lower than the high-temperature limit. The low-temperature limit and the high-temperature limit can be established based on test and calibration results of hydrogen internal combustion engines. This application does not impose any additional restrictions or elaboration on the specific values of the low-temperature limit and the high-temperature limit.

[0036] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, the mixture temperature represents the risk of hydrogen deflagration, and the water content represents the risk of oil emulsification. Therefore, this application configures a comparison between the water content and the water extraction threshold, and between the mixture temperature and the low and high temperature limits, and controls the power state of the condensing oil-gas separator based on the comparison results, thereby dynamically adjusting the operating power of the oil-gas separator to achieve the goal of reducing system energy consumption while ensuring the suppression of hydrogen deflagration and oil emulsification.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the crankcase air supply system provided by the first aspect of the present application and any possible implementation of the first aspect further includes: a temperature sensor, a four-way valve, and a heating device, wherein a first end of the four-way valve is connected to the second end of the first air supply pipeline, a second end of the four-way valve is connected to the second end of the second air supply pipeline, a third end of the four-way valve is connected to the air inlet of the crankcase, a fourth end of the four-way valve is connected to the air inlet of the heating device, an air outlet of the heating device is connected to the air inlet of the crankcase, and the temperature sensor is arranged inside the four-way valve; The controller 104 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the four-way valve and the heating device, respectively, and is used to control the first end, the second end and the third end of the four-way valve to be connected, and the fourth end of the four-way valve to be closed when the temperature of the mixed gas collected by the temperature sensor is not less than the water analysis temperature threshold, so as to introduce the intake air of the first air supply pipeline and the second air supply pipeline into the air inlet of the crankcase; it is also used to control the first end, the second end and the fourth end of the four-way valve to be connected, and the third end of the four-way valve to be closed when the temperature of the mixed gas is less than the water analysis temperature threshold, so as to introduce the intake air of the first air supply pipeline and the second air supply pipeline into the heating device, and control the heating device to heat the intake air to a temperature not less than the water analysis temperature threshold, and then introduce the heated intake air into the air inlet of the crankcase.

[0038] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, since the moisture in the mixed gas cannot be completely removed, when the external ambient temperature is too low, the mixed gas will easily condense and precipitate the moisture in the gas due to the low temperature environment during the process of flowing to the crankcase. The throttle body is connected to the air intake of the crankcase by the first end of the four-way valve and the second end of the four-way valve. The throttle body is connected to the air intake of the crankcase by the second end of the four-way valve. The air outlet of the heating device is connected to the air intake of the crankcase. The temperature sensor is arranged inside the four-way valve and is configured to control the first end, the second end and the fourth end of the four-way valve to be connected when the temperature of the mixed gas is lower than the water analysis temperature threshold, and the third end of the four-way valve is closed to introduce the intake air of the first and second air supply pipelines into the heating device, and control the heating device to heat the intake air to a temperature not lower than the water analysis temperature threshold, and then introduce the heated intake air into the intake port of the crankcase, thereby avoiding the risk of oil emulsification caused by water analysis due to the decrease in gas temperature during the flow.

[0039] It should be noted that in actual applications, since the first and second air supply lines continue to deliver gas during operation, after the first, second, and fourth ends of the four-way valve are controlled to be conductive and the third end of the four-way valve is closed, the gas pressure in the lines will gradually increase before heating is completed. Therefore, to prevent damage to pipes or components due to high pressure, pressure relief can be achieved by installing a pressure relief valve in the heating device or by closing the third end of the four-way valve to its minimum opening.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the crankcase air supply system provided by the first aspect of the present application and any possible implementation of the first aspect further includes: a first oil guide line, an oil water content sensor, a bypass valve, a heating container, a boost pump, and a second oil guide line, wherein the first oil guide line connects the oil drain port of the oil-gas separator and the oil inlet of the crankcase oil pan, the oil water content sensor and the bypass valve are arranged in sequence in the first oil guide line along the oil flow direction, the bypass port of the bypass valve is connected to the oil inlet of the heating container, the oil outlet of the heating container bypasses the first oil guide line through the second oil guide line, and the bypass position is located upstream of the oil water content sensor, and the boost pump is arranged in the second oil guide line; The controller 104 is also electrically connected to the oil water content sensor, the bypass valve, the heating container and the boost pump, respectively, and is used to control the bypass port of the bypass valve to close when the oil water content collected by the oil water content sensor is less than the oil water content threshold, so as to introduce the oil discharged from the oil drain port into the oil pan of the crankcase; it is also used to control the bypass valve outlet to close and the bypass port to open when the oil water content is not less than the oil water content threshold, so as to introduce the oil discharged from the oil drain port into the heating container, and control the heating container to heat the introduced oil to evaporate the water in the oil, and control the boost pump to start, so as to introduce the oil from which the water has evaporated into the first oil guide pipe.

[0041] It should be noted that in actual application scenarios, since there will inevitably be residual water in the engine oil separated by the oil-gas separator, even if the content is small, long-term accumulation will also cause the oil in the oil pan to become emulsified. Therefore, the present application configures a first oil guide line to connect the oil drain port of the condensing oil-gas separator and the oil inlet of the crankcase oil pan, and the oil water content sensor and the bypass valve are arranged in sequence in the air guide line 101 along the oil flow direction. The bypass port of the bypass valve is connected to the oil inlet of the heating container, and the oil inlet of the heating container bypasses the first oil guide line through the second oil guide line, and the bypass position is located upstream of the oil water content sensor. The boost pump is deployed in the second oil guide line and is configured to control the bypass valve outlet to close and the bypass port to open when the oil water content is not less than the oil water content threshold, so as to guide the oil discharged from the oil drain port into the heating container, and control the heating container to heat the introduced oil to evaporate the water in the oil, and control the boost pump to start to guide the oil after the water evaporated into the first oil guide line, thereby further reducing the water content of the separated oil, thereby improving the inhibitory effect of the oil emulsification phenomenon in the oil pan.
