Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy vehicles, specifically relating to a new energy vehicle electronic vacuum pump and its vehicle and energy recovery method. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles lack an engine intake manifold, thus lacking a vacuum source for the booster. In this situation, the vacuum booster cannot provide assistance to the driver, affecting driving safety. An electronic vacuum pump can maintain a certain vacuum level within the booster, ensuring driving safety. However, the electronic vacuum pump generates noise, which is more noticeable inside the cabin of new energy vehicles without an engine. Optimizing the noise of the electronic vacuum pump is a challenge that new energy vehicle manufacturers must address to achieve better driving comfort.

[0003] Existing technologies use a single electronic vacuum pump and its rubber pads for vibration damping, which has limited effect on reducing the vibration and noise of the electronic vacuum pump. Furthermore, the energy generated by the vacuum pump vibration is not recovered, resulting in a waste of resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a new energy vehicle electronic vacuum pump and its vehicle and energy recovery method to solve the technical problems of the prior art, which uses a single electronic vacuum pump and its vibration damping rubber pad, which has limited effect on reducing the working vibration and noise of the electronic vacuum pump, and does not recover the energy generated by the vibration of the vacuum pump, resulting in resource waste.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

The output end of the supercapacitor is also connected to a voltage sensor. The output end of the voltage sensor is connected to the input end of a controller. The input end of the controller is also connected to the second output end of the battery, the output end of a temperature sensor, and the output end of a rubber pad acceleration sensor. The output end of the controller is connected to a DC-DC boost module, a first MOS switch trigger drive module, a second MOS switch trigger drive module, and a controllable constant current source control module.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting base is fixed to the body of the electronic vacuum pump by fastening bolts.

[0011] This invention also discloses an energy recovery method for a new energy vehicle electronic vacuum pump based on any one of the above-mentioned methods, comprising the following steps:

[0012] The main body of the electronic vacuum pump operates, generating variable vibration;

[0013] The vacuum pump rubber pad converts the generated variable vibrations into variable forces, which are then applied to the piezoelectric energy feeding device.

[0017] S302: DC power is boosted by the DC-DC boost module and temporarily stored in the supercapacitor. The voltage sensor detects the voltage value at the supercapacitor terminal in real time and sends the detected voltage value to the controller in real time.

[0018] S303: The controller compares the received voltage value with the preset threshold and determines whether to charge the battery accordingly.

[0019] Preferably, in S303,

[0020] If the voltage value is not less than the preset threshold, the controller controls the first MOS switch to trigger the drive module to turn on, and the supercapacitor charges the battery.

[0038] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0039] See Figure 1 This invention discloses an electronic vacuum pump for new energy vehicles, comprising an electronic vacuum pump body 1, a mounting base 9 on the electronic vacuum pump body 1, and a magnetorheological damper, a piezoelectric energy feeding device 4, and a vacuum pump rubber pad 3 arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the mounting base 9. The magnetorheological damper and the piezoelectric energy feeding device 4 are electrically connected to an external energy recovery unit. When the electronic vacuum pump operates, it generates variable vibration. Through the transmission effect of the vacuum pump rubber pad 3, the variable vibration generated by the electronic vacuum pump body 1 is converted into a variable force acting on the upper surface of the piezoelectric energy feeding device 4. Under the action of the variable force, the piezoelectric energy feeding device 4 generates polarization, thereby generating an induced current. This induced current is transmitted to the external energy recovery unit. Simultaneously, on the one hand, the elastic deformation of the vacuum pump rubber pad 3 alleviates the vibration of the electronic vacuum pump; on the other hand, the magnetorheological damper provides a second layer of vibration damping, effectively reducing vibration and improving ride comfort while recovering some of the vibration energy of the vacuum pump during operation. This invention is novel and reasonable in design, easy to implement, and improves passenger comfort by reducing the vibration and noise of the electronic vacuum pump during operation. It also recovers some of the vibration energy of the vacuum pump during operation, making it green and energy-saving, and easy to promote and use.

[0040] In some embodiments, the magnetorheological damper includes: a magnetorheological damper cylinder 5, which is mounted on a mounting base 9 and has an excitation coil 8 inside. The excitation coil 8 is electrically connected to an external energy recovery unit, and a guide pad 7 is embedded on its top. A piezoelectric energy feeding device 4 is disposed above the guide pad 7.

[0041] In some embodiments, the guide gasket 7 and the magnetorheological damper cylinder 5 form a sealed space to store magnetorheological fluid.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The energy recovery unit includes: a rectifier 11, the input end of which is connected to the piezoelectric energy feeding device 4, and its output end is sequentially connected to a DC-DC boost module 12, a supercapacitor 13, a first MOS switch trigger drive module 15, and a battery 10. The first output end of the battery 10 is sequentially connected to a second MOS switch trigger drive module 16, a controllable constant current source control module 19, and an excitation coil 8. The output end of the supercapacitor 13 is also connected to a voltage sensor 14. The output end of the voltage sensor 14 is connected to the input end of a controller 20. The input end of the controller 20 is also connected to the second output end of the battery 10, the output end of a temperature sensor 17, and the output end of a rubber pad acceleration sensor 18. The output end of the controller 20 is connected to the DC-DC boost module 12, the first MOS switch trigger drive module 15, the second MOS switch trigger drive module 16, and the controllable constant current source control module 19.

[0045] In some embodiments, the control bus 6 is connected to the piezoelectric power supply device 4 and the excitation coil 8 through the internal structural features of the electronic vacuum pump body 1.

[0046] During the braking process of a pure electric vehicle, the electronic vacuum pump performs vacuuming. At this time, the main body 1 of the electronic vacuum pump generates variable vibration, which is transmitted through the vacuum pump rubber pad 3 and converted into a variable force acting on the surface of the piezoelectric energy feeding device 4. Under the action of this variable force, the piezoelectric energy feeding device 4 exhibits polarization, thereby generating an induced current. This induced current first passes through the rectifier 11 for rectification and filtering to become a stable direct current. Then, it is boosted by the DC-DC boost module 12 and temporarily stored in the supercapacitor 13. The voltage sensor 14 continuously monitors the voltage V at the terminal of the supercapacitor 13. 00 The detected voltage at the supercapacitor 13 terminal is transmitted to the controller 20 in real time, and the controller 20, based on the judgment result, determines the voltage value V. 00 With the set voltage value V min and V max The size of the space determines the charging and discharging of the supercapacitor 13 to the battery 10. When V00 is not less than V max When the controller 20 controls the first MOS switch to trigger the drive module 15 to turn on, the supercapacitor 13 charges the battery 10. When V00 is not greater than V minWhen the controller 20 controls the first MOS switch to trigger the drive module 15 to disconnect, the supercapacitor 13 stops charging the battery 10;
