[0007] As an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, a circulation branch is sealed between the left and right purification branches. The organic matter filtering device is centrally arranged in the purification branch to divide the purification branch into a front purification branch connected to the intake manifold and a rear purification branch connected to the outlet manifold. The heat outlet device is arranged in the front purification branch. The front purification branch is provided with a circulation heating valve, and the rear purification branch is provided with the outlet valve. The circulation heating valve, the heat outlet device and the outlet valve are arranged in sequence from the intake manifold to the outlet manifold. The circulation branch communicates with the front purification branch and the rear purification branch on the same side through the circulation heating valve and the outlet valve on the same side to form a circulation heating channel. The circulation branch is provided with a pollutant exhaust valve. A temperature sensor is provided in the purification branch. The temperature sensor is connected to the control module with a temperature limit value. The control module is provided with a timing device with a time threshold. The control module is connected to the circulation heating valve.

[0008] As an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, the heat output device is a plate-fin heat exchanger, the fluid inlet pipe of the plate-fin heat exchanger is connected to the coolant outlet pipe of the engine or the exhaust pipe, the fluid outlet pipe of the plate-fin heat exchanger is connected to the coolant inlet pipe or exhaust pipe of the engine, the gas outlet pipe of the plate-fin heat exchanger is arranged toward the organic matter filtering device, the gas inlet pipe of the plate-fin heat exchanger is arranged on the side of the circulating heating valve away from the intake manifold, the fluid inlet pipe is provided with a fluid control valve for controlling the inflow of fluid, and the fluid control valve is connected to the control module.

[0009] As an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, the organic matter filtering device is an activated carbon filtering device, and the circulating heating valve, pollutant exhaust valve and outlet valve are all one-way valves.

[0010] As an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, the purification device also includes a primary purification device arranged in the intake manifold, and the primary purification device includes a coarse-effect filter and a PM2.5 filter arranged in sequence from the air inlet to the purification branch pipe.

[0011] As an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, a blower is provided in the pre-purification branch pipe between the circulating heating valve and the heat outlet device on the same side, and an air collecting hood is connected to the gas inlet pipe. The air collecting hood is provided on the side of the blower close to the heat outlet device.

[0012] As an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, a fresh air valve is provided on the purification branch pipe on the side of the blower away from the heat outlet device, and the fresh air valve is connected to the control module.

[0013] In order to solve the above technical problems and achieve the above invention objectives, the present invention provides a control method for an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration, comprising the following control process:

[0014] The two-position three-way reversing valves on both sides of the purification branch pipe are used to ventilate and purify the left purification branch pipe, and the right purification branch pipe is closed. The organic matter concentration sensor is used to monitor the organic matter concentration at the outlet main pipe in real time.

[0015] The detection data is sent in real time to a control module that is provided with an organic matter concentration limit value and / or an organic matter concentration multiple value. The control module compares the organic matter concentration at the outlet main pipe detected by the organic matter concentration sensor with the organic matter concentration limit value and / or the organic matter multiple concentration value in the control module. When the outlet main pipe concentration detected by the organic matter concentration sensor is greater than the concentration limit value in the control module and / or the ratio of the organic matter concentration in the outlet main pipe to the organic matter concentration in the vehicle is greater than the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module, it indicates that the activated carbon filter device in the left purification branch pipe is in a saturated state. The control module then controls the two-position three-way reversing valves on both sides of the purification branch pipe, closing the left purification branch pipe for temperature desorption and opening the right purification branch pipe for organic matter filtration.

[0016] While closing the left purification branch pipe, open the fluid control valve on the left plate-fin heat exchanger to allow coolant or exhaust gas to flow into the plate-fin heat exchanger. At the same time, the blower blows cold air toward the air collection hood and into the left plate-fin heat exchanger. The coolant or exhaust gas exchanges heat with the air, and the heated air is sprayed toward the activated carbon filter device for temperature rise and desorption.

[0017] The control module then opens the air outlet valve and the circulating heating valve on the left purification branch pipe. The heated air is sprayed from the plate-fin heat exchanger to the activated carbon filter device, then enters the post-purification branch pipe, and then enters the circulation branch pipe through the air outlet valve on the post-purification branch pipe. From the circulation branch pipe, it passes through the circulating heating valve and enters the pre-purification branch pipe. Finally, driven by the blower, the air re-enters the plate-fin heat exchanger and is heated by the plate-fin heat exchanger before being sprayed back to the activated carbon filter device, thus achieving circulating heating of the activated carbon filter device.

[0018] At the same time, the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the purification branch pipe on the left and sends the detected temperature value to the control module in real time. The control module compares the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor with the temperature limit value in the control module. When the detected temperature value is greater than the temperature limit value in the control module, the timing device in the control module starts timing. When the detected temperature value is less than the temperature limit value in the control module, the timing device in the control module pauses timing until the detected temperature value is greater than the temperature limit value in the control module and then resumes timing.

[0019] When the timing time of the timing device reaches the time threshold in the timing device, the timing device is reset to zero, and the control module closes the circulating heating valve of the left purification branch and the fluid control valve of the heat exchanger, and opens the pollutant exhaust valve and fresh air valve of the left purification branch. The outside air is introduced through the fresh air valve and blown to the plate-fin heat exchanger through the blower, and enters the activated carbon filter device through the plate-fin heat exchanger, and then enters the post-purification branch, and then enters the circulation branch through the air outlet valve on the post-purification branch, and finally is discharged through the pollutant exhaust valve on the circulation branch, and at the same time takes out the pollutants generated during the temperature rise and desorption. After exhausting for a period of time, the control module controls the closing of the pollutant exhaust valve, the air outlet valve and the fresh air valve. From then on, the temperature rise and desorption of the activated carbon filter device are completed and it is ready for standby.

[0020] When the organic matter concentration sensor detects that the concentration of the exhaust manifold is greater than the concentration limit value in the control module and / or the ratio of the organic matter concentration in the exhaust manifold to the organic matter concentration in the vehicle is greater than the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module, the two-position three-way reversing valve closes the right purification branch pipe, the activated carbon filter device in the purification branch pipe is heated and desorbed, and the left purification branch pipe is opened for filtration, thereby realizing cyclic heating and desorption and cyclic filtration.

[0021] As a control method for an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, the organic matter concentration limit value in the control module is 50%-60% of the national standard limit value of indoor total volatile organic compounds, the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module is 1.5 times-2.0 times, and the temperature limit value in the control module is 55°C-65°C.

[0022] As a control method of the air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration of the present invention, the time threshold in the timing device is 1.5h-2.5h.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration and the control method thereof of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The polluted air is filtered for organic matter, and organic matter filtering devices are simultaneously installed in the left and right purification branch pipes. One of the organic matter filtering devices is selected to filter the organic matter. When the organic matter filtering device is in a saturated state, the other organic matter filtering device is used to filter the organic matter, and the saturated organic matter filtering device is heated and desorbed. In this way, the organic matter filtering and desorption of the saturated filter device are continuously cycled alternately, so that the filter element of the organic matter filtering device does not need to be replaced when it is in a saturated state, thereby extending the service life of the organic matter filtering device;

[0025] The heat source for heating and desorption in a saturated state comes from the waste heat of the engine coolant or the waste heat of the automobile exhaust, which makes full use of the automobile's own energy and is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0026] An organic matter concentration sensor is used to detect concentrations in the exhaust manifold and / or inside the vehicle. The detected organic matter concentration is used to determine whether the organic matter filter device is in a saturated state. When the detected organic matter concentration is greater than the organic matter concentration threshold value in the control module and / or the ratio of the organic matter concentration in the exhaust manifold to the organic matter concentration inside the vehicle is greater than the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module, it indicates that the organic matter filter device is in a saturated state and the organic matter filter device should be heated and desorbed.

[0027] The connection between the control module and the two-position three-way reversing valve can switch back and forth between different purification branch ventilation operations. The connection between the control module and the heating device controls the heating and desorption treatment of the organic matter filter device in a saturated state.

[0028] The purpose of setting a temperature sensor in the purification branch pipe and a timing device in the control module is to ensure that the organic matter filter device in a saturated state is heated and desorbed for a certain period of time at a certain temperature to ensure the heating and desorption efficiency;

[0029] The circulation branch pipe is connected to the pre-purification branch pipe and the post-purification branch pipe through the circulation heating valve and the air outlet valve to form a circulation heating channel. The function of the circulation heating channel is to form an air circulation flow to circulate and heat the organic matter filter device to improve the thermal desorption efficiency.

[0030] The purification device also includes a primary purification device arranged in the air intake main pipe. The primary purification device includes a coarse filter and a PM2.5 filter arranged in sequence from the air intake to the purification branch pipe. The function of the primary purification device is to achieve multi-stage purification of polluted air and improve the air purification effect.

[0031] The air purification system can be directly integrated with the existing air circulation system of the car. The system can be implanted before the air is discharged from the existing air circulation system of the car without damaging the original air circulation system of the car.

[0032] A blower is installed in the front purification branch pipe between the circulation heating valve and the heat outlet device on the same side. Its function is to maintain air circulation after the air re-enters the front purification branch pipe through the circulation heating valve, and to offset the resistance of the purification device itself to ensure the flow effect of the gas in the purification mode.

[0033] The gas inlet pipe is connected to an air collecting hood, which is located on the side of the blower close to the heat outlet device. Its function is to allow the air blown to the heat outlet device by the blower to fully enter the heat outlet device through the air collecting hood, thereby improving the heating and desorption effect of the organic matter filtering device.

[0034] Therefore, the present invention has the characteristics of reasonable structure, convenient use, energy saving and environmental protection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The organic matter filtering device 6 is centrally arranged in the purification branch pipe to divide the purification branch pipe into a front purification branch pipe 11 connected to the air inlet main pipe 2 and a rear purification branch pipe 12 connected to the air outlet main pipe 4. The heat outlet device is arranged in the front purification branch pipe 11. The front purification branch pipe 11 is provided with a circulation heating valve 13. The rear purification branch pipe 12 is provided with the air outlet valve 7. The circulation heating valve 13 is provided in the direction from the air inlet main pipe 2 to the air outlet main pipe 4. 3. The heat outlet device and the air outlet valve 7, the circulation branch pipe 10 are respectively connected to the pre-purification branch pipe 11 and the post-purification branch pipe 12 on the same side through the circulation heating valve 13 and the air outlet valve 7 on the same side to form a circulation heating channel.

The temperature sensor 15 is connected to the control module 9 with a temperature limit value. The control module 9 is provided with a timing device 16 with a time threshold. The control module 9 is connected to the circulation heating valve 13. The heat output device is a plate-fin heat exchanger, the fluid inlet pipe 17 of the plate-fin heat exchanger is connected to the coolant outlet pipe of the engine or the exhaust pipe, the fluid outlet pipe 18 of the plate-fin heat exchanger is connected to the coolant inlet pipe or exhaust pipe of the engine, the gas outlet pipe 19 of the plate-fin heat exchanger is arranged toward the organic matter filtering device 6, the gas inlet pipe 20 of the plate-fin heat exchanger is arranged on the side of the circulating heating valve 13 away from the intake manifold 2, and a fluid control valve 22 for controlling the inflow of fluid is provided at the fluid inlet pipe 17, and the fluid control valve 22 is connected to the control module 9.The organic matter filtering device 6 is an activated carbon filtering device, and the circulating heating valve 13, pollutant exhaust valve 14 and outlet valve 7 are all one-way valves.

[0047] The left purification branch is ventilated and purified using two-position, three-way reversing valves 5 on either side of the purification branch, while the right purification branch is sealed. An organic matter concentration sensor 8 monitors the organic matter concentration at the outlet manifold 4 in real time. This detection data is sent in real time to a control module 9, which has an organic matter concentration threshold and / or organic matter concentration multiple. The control module 9 compares the organic matter concentration at the outlet manifold 4 detected by the organic matter concentration sensor 8 with the organic matter concentration threshold and / or organic matter concentration multiple stored in the control module 9.

The control module 9 compares the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor 15 with the temperature limit value in the control module 9. When the detected temperature value is greater than the temperature limit value in the control module 9, the timing device 16 in the control module 9 starts timing. When the detected temperature value is less than the temperature limit value in the control module 9, the timing device 16 in the control module 9 pauses timing until the detected temperature value is greater than the temperature limit value in the control module 9 and continues timing.When the timing duration of the timing device 16 reaches the time threshold in the timing device 16, the timing device 16 is reset to zero, and the control module 9 closes the circulating heating valve 13 of the left purification branch and the fluid control valve 22 of the heat exchanger, and opens the pollutant exhaust valve 14 and the fresh air valve of the left purification branch. The outside air is introduced through the fresh air valve 27 and blown to the plate-fin heat exchanger through the blower 26, and enters the activated carbon filter device through the plate-fin heat exchanger, and then enters the post-purification branch 12, and then enters the circulation branch 10 through the air outlet valve 7 on the post-purification branch 12, and finally is discharged through the pollutant exhaust valve 14 on the circulation branch 10, and at the same time takes out the pollutants generated during the temperature rise and desorption. After exhausting for a period of time, the control module 9 controls the closing of the pollutant exhaust valve 14, the air outlet valve 7 and the fresh air valve. From then on, the temperature rise and desorption of the activated carbon filter device are completed and ready for use. When the concentration of the exhaust manifold 4 detected by the organic matter concentration sensor 8 is greater than the concentration limit value in the control module 9 and / or the ratio of the organic matter concentration in the exhaust manifold 4 to the organic matter concentration in the vehicle is greater than the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module 9, the two-position three-way reversing valve 5 is used to close the right purification branch pipe, heat up and desorb the activated carbon filter device in the purification branch pipe, and open the left purification branch pipe for filtration, thereby realizing cyclic heating and desorption and cyclic filtration.

[0048] Organic matter is filtered from polluted air, and organic matter filters 6 are installed in both the left and right purification pipes. One of the organic matter filters 6 is selected to filter organic matter. When the organic matter filter 6 is saturated, the other organic matter filter 6 is used to filter organic matter. The saturated organic matter filter 6 is heated and desorbed. This continuous cycle of alternating organic matter filtering and desorption from the saturated filter eliminates the need to replace the filter element of the organic matter filter when it is saturated, extending the service life of the organic matter filter 6. The heat for heating and desorption in the saturated state comes from the waste heat of the engine coolant or the waste heat of the vehicle exhaust, making full use of the vehicle's own energy, which is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. The organic matter concentration sensor 8 is used to detect the concentration of the exhaust manifold 4 and / or the interior of the vehicle, and the detected organic matter concentration is used to determine whether the organic matter filter device 6 is in a saturated state. When the detected organic matter concentration is greater than the organic matter concentration limit value in the control module 9 and / or the ratio of the organic matter concentration in the exhaust manifold 4 to the organic matter concentration in the vehicle is greater than the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module 9, it indicates that the organic matter filter device 6 is already in a saturated state and should be subjected to temperature increase and desorption. The connection between the control module 9 and the two-position three-way reversing valve 5 can switch back and forth between different purification branch ventilation operations, and the connection between the control module 9 and the heating device 25 controls the temperature increase and desorption treatment of the organic matter filter device 6 in a saturated state. The purpose of providing a temperature sensor 15 in the purification branch and a timing device 16 in the control module 9 is to ensure that the organic matter filter device 6 in a saturated state is subjected to temperature increase and desorption for a certain period of time at a certain temperature to ensure the temperature increase and desorption efficiency. The circulation branch pipe 10 communicates with the pre-purification branch pipe 11 and the post-purification branch pipe 12 via the circulation heating valve 13 and the outlet valve 7, forming a circulation heating channel. This channel circulates air, thereby circulating and heating the organic matter filter 6, improving heating efficiency. The purification device also includes a primary purification device located within the intake manifold 2. This primary purification device comprises a coarse filter 23 and a PM2.5 filter 24, arranged sequentially from the air inlet 1 to the purification branch pipe. This device provides multi-stage purification of polluted air, enhancing air purification effectiveness. This air purification system can be directly integrated with the vehicle's existing air circulation system, being installed before the air is discharged without disrupting the vehicle's existing air circulation system. A blower 26 is installed in the pre-purification branch pipe 11, located between the circulation heating valve 13 and the outlet device on the same side. This blower 26 maintains air circulation after air re-enters the pre-purification branch pipe 11 through the circulation heating valve 13. It also offsets the purification device's own resistance to ensure effective air flow in purification mode.The gas inlet pipe 20 is connected to an air collecting hood 21, which is arranged on the side of the blower 26 close to the heat outlet device. Its function is to allow the air blown to the heat outlet device by the blower 26 to fully enter the heat outlet device through the air collecting hood 21, thereby improving the heating and desorption effect of the organic matter filtering device 6. Example

[0049] according to Figures 1 to 3 The control method of an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration shown includes the following control process:

[0050] The two-position three-way reversing valve 5 on both sides of the purification branch pipe is used to ventilate and purify the left purification branch pipe, and the right purification branch pipe is closed. The organic matter concentration sensor 8 is used to monitor the organic matter concentration at the outlet main pipe 4 in real time;

[0051] The detection data is sent in real time to the control module 9 which is provided with an organic matter concentration limit value and / or an organic matter concentration multiple value. The control module 9 compares the organic matter concentration at the outlet manifold 4 detected by the organic matter concentration sensor 8 with the organic matter concentration limit value and / or the organic matter multiple concentration value in the control module 9. When the concentration at the outlet manifold 4 detected by the organic matter concentration sensor 8 is greater than the concentration limit value in the control module 9 and / or the ratio of the organic matter concentration in the outlet manifold 4 to the organic matter concentration in the vehicle is greater than the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module 9, it indicates that the activated carbon filter device in the left purification branch is in a saturated state. The control module 9 then controls the two-position three-way reversing valves 5 on both sides of the purification branch, closing the left purification branch for temperature desorption and opening the right purification branch for organic matter filtration.

[0052] While closing the left purification branch pipe, open the fluid control valve 22 on the left plate-fin heat exchanger to allow the coolant or exhaust gas to flow into the plate-fin heat exchanger. At the same time, the blower 26 blows cold air toward the air collecting cover 21 and into the left plate-fin heat exchanger. The coolant or exhaust gas exchanges heat with the air, and the heated air is sprayed toward the activated carbon filter device for temperature rise and desorption.

[0053] Then the control module 9 opens the air outlet valve 7 and the circulating heating valve 13 on the left purification branch pipe. The heated air is sprayed from the plate-fin heat exchanger to the activated carbon filter device, and then enters the post-purification branch pipe 12. Then, it enters the circulating branch pipe 10 through the air outlet valve 7 at the post-purification branch pipe 12. Then, it enters the pre-purification branch pipe 11 through the circulating heating valve 13 from the circulating branch pipe 10. Finally, driven by the blower 26, the air re-enters the plate-fin heat exchanger and is heated by the plate-fin heat exchanger before being sprayed back to the activated carbon filter device, thereby achieving circulating heating of the activated carbon filter device.

[0054] At the same time, the temperature sensor 15 detects the temperature of the purification branch pipe on the left side and sends the detected temperature value to the control module 9 in real time. The control module 9 compares the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor 15 with the temperature limit value in the control module 9. When the detected temperature value is greater than the temperature limit value in the control module 9, the timing device 16 in the control module 9 starts timing. When the detected temperature value is less than the temperature limit value in the control module 9, the timing device 16 in the control module 9 pauses timing until the detected temperature value exceeds the temperature limit value in the control module 9 and resumes timing.

[0055] When the timing time of the timing device 16 reaches the time threshold in the timing device 16, the timing device 16 is reset to zero, and the control module 9 closes the circulating heating valve 13 of the left purification branch and the fluid control valve 22 of the heat exchanger, and opens the pollutant exhaust valve 14 and the fresh air valve of the left purification branch. The outside air is introduced through the fresh air valve 27 and blown to the plate-fin heat exchanger through the blower 26, and enters the activated carbon filter device through the plate-fin heat exchanger, and then enters the post-purification branch 12, and then enters the circulation branch 10 through the air outlet valve 7 on the post-purification branch 12, and finally is discharged through the pollutant exhaust valve 14 on the circulation branch 10, and at the same time takes out the pollutants generated during the temperature rise and desorption. After exhausting for a period of time, the control module 9 controls the closing of the pollutant exhaust valve 14, the air outlet valve 7 and the fresh air valve. From then on, the temperature rise and desorption of the activated carbon filter device are completed and ready for use;

[0056] When the concentration of the exhaust manifold 4 detected by the organic matter concentration sensor 8 is greater than the concentration limit value in the control module 9 and / or the ratio of the organic matter concentration in the exhaust manifold 4 to the organic matter concentration in the vehicle is greater than the organic matter concentration multiple value in the control module 9, the two-position three-way reversing valve 5 is used to close the right purification branch pipe, heat up and desorb the activated carbon filter device in the purification branch pipe, and open the left purification branch pipe for filtration, thereby realizing cyclic heating and desorption and cyclic filtration.

[0057] In the aforementioned control method for an air purification system based on automobile engine waste heat regeneration, the organic matter concentration limit in the control module 9 is 50%-60% of the national standard limit for total indoor volatile organic compounds (TVOC), the organic matter concentration multiplier in the control module 9 is 1.5-2.0 times, and the temperature limit in the control module 9 is 55°C-65°C. The time threshold in the timing device 16 is 1.5-2.5 hours.
