Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile sensors, and in particular to an automobile air-conditioning filter element sensor component and a working method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The air filter is a filter that is mainly used for air filtration in engineering locomotives, automobiles, and agricultural locomotives. It is usually installed in front of the carburetor or the intake pipe to filter out dust and sand in the air to ensure that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. However, with long-term use, the air filter often becomes clogged. Currently, there is no equipment specifically designed to monitor the clogging of the air filter, or the existing air filter sensors are not convenient to be directly installed on the air filter due to their large size and complex structure. At the same time, they only have a single alarm function, and often cannot detect the clogging of the air filter in time.

[0025] Step 4: Air quality detection. When the air passes through the sensor assembly, the laser transmitter and laser receiver in the sensor assembly cooperate to detect the air quality and transmit the air quality detection data to the car's central control. The air quality detection data can be used as an auxiliary judgment of the blockage condition of the air conditioning filter.
[0026] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:
[0027] 1. The present invention provides a support assembly, and an air intake assembly and an exhaust assembly are respectively provided at both ends of the support assembly. An airflow detection assembly is provided in the middle of the air intake assembly. When air passes through the air intake assembly, the airflow detection assembly can judge the amount of airflow through the movable column and the first pressure sensor provided inside the air intake assembly, thereby realizing the detection of air flow.
[0028] 2. The present invention provides an airflow detection component, which includes a movable column. The air flow rate can be detected by the movement amplitude of the movable column. By arranging expansion oil inside the movable column, the heat of the air can be transferred to the expansion oil when passing through the bottom end of the movable column, so that the expansion oil expands due to the heat, and the expansion amplitude of the expansion oil can be detected by a second pressure sensor, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the air temperature while realizing air flow detection.
[0029] 3. The present invention provides a support assembly, an air intake assembly and an exhaust assembly, which together form an air detection device. The two sets of detection devices can be respectively installed on the pipelines on both sides of the air-conditioning filter element to detect the air flow and quality before and after the air-conditioning filter element. At the same time, the adjustment part drives the first pressure sensor to the second height position through the driving gear, the adjusting gear and the adjusting screw, so that the flowing air can enter the blowing pipe through the blowing hole and be blown out from the blowing hole along the blowing pipe. Since the inclination direction of the blowing hole is directly facing the laser transmitter and the laser receiver in the plug block, the dust accumulated above the two can be blown off, thereby cleaning the two, thereby ensuring the accuracy of air quality measurement in subsequent use.
[0030] 4. The present invention enables the adjustment part to drive the first pressure sensor to the third height position through the driving gear, the adjusting gear, and the adjusting screw, so that the movable column can maintain the seal on the air inlet nozzle, and the air cannot be discharged through the air inlet nozzle, so that the air pressure at the filter element is greater than the pressure during normal operation, and then the adjustment part is controlled to drive the first pressure sensor to the first height position, and the pressurized air pushes the movable column to move upward. The movable column no longer seals the air inlet nozzle, and the high-pressure air flow gathered at the air-conditioning filter element completes the pressure relief. In this process, the high-pressure air flow can clean the clogged air-conditioning filter element to a certain extent when passing through the air-conditioning filter element, thereby ensuring the subsequent use effect.

[0051] The exhaust assembly 4 includes an exhaust pipe 401, which is configured as a three-way pipe.

The middle of the two plug blocks 405 are respectively fixed with a laser transmitter and a laser receiver. When the air passes through the exhaust pipe 401, the laser transmitter emits a laser, and the laser reaches the laser receiver after passing through the air. In the process of passing through the air, the laser is affected by impurities in the air and attenuated. By comparing the attenuation of the laser, the air quality can be detected. Moreover, the two plug blocks 405 are arranged at the arc-shaped bend of the exhaust pipe 401. The airflow passing through the arc-shaped bend of the exhaust pipe 401 is guided and discharged at the arc-shaped bend and will not directly impact the laser emitter and laser receiver in the middle of the plug block 405, so as to prevent the airflow from impacting the laser emitter and laser receiver during long-term use and affecting the measurement accuracy of both.
[0052] The present invention also provides a working method of an automobile air conditioning filter element sensor assembly, comprising the following steps:
[0053] Step 1, equipment installation, install two sets of sensor components in the pipeline of the automobile air-conditioning, and make the two sets of sensor components be installed at the two ends of the automobile air-conditioning filter respectively; specifically, when installing the sensor components, the sensor components can be set as two groups, one group is installed at the front end of the air-conditioning filter, and the other group is installed at the rear end of the air-conditioning filter. The air inlet nozzle 203 and the exhaust nozzle 403 are respectively connected to the air-conditioning pipeline, so that the air in the air-conditioning pipeline passes through the air inlet nozzle 203 to enter the sensor component, and flows back to the pipeline through the exhaust nozzle 403. The two sets of sensor components can respectively detect the air before and after passing through the air-conditioning filter, and transmit the detected data to the center console, so that the driver and passengers can understand the air quality.
[0054] Step 2, airflow detection, the air first passes through a set of sensor components, the sensor components detect the flow rate of the air, and then the air passes through the automobile air conditioning filter to reach another set of sensor components, at this time the other set of sensor components detects the flow rate of the air again; the air can enter the intake pipe 201 through the intake nozzle 203, and during the air flow inside the intake pipe 201, the air pushes the bottom end of the movable column 305, so that the movable column 305 moves upward, and it squeezes the signal input end of the first pressure sensor 302 through the support rod 304 and the movable seat 303. The first pressure sensor 302 detects the pressure value of the movable column 305, and then converts it into the corresponding air flow rate according to the pressure value, so as to realize the detection of the air flow. After the movable column 305 moves upward, the air flows through the gap between the movable column 305 and the intake pipe 201 and is discharged.
[0055] At the same time, when the air passes through the bottom end of the movable column 305, heat exchange occurs between the air and the lower surface of the heat conductive block 306, and the heat is transferred to the expansion oil in the movable column 305 through the heat conductive block 306 and the heat conductive rod 308, so that the expansion oil expands due to the heat, and the expansion of the expansion oil squeezes the piston head 310. The piston head 310 squeezes the signal input end of the second pressure sensor 312 through the column rod 311 to detect the expansion amount of the expansion oil. By converting the pressure value of the second pressure sensor 312 into a corresponding temperature value, the air temperature can be detected.
[0056] Step three, data comparison, by comparing the detection data of the two sets of sensor components, while obtaining the air quality, the blockage condition of the air conditioning filter can also be obtained. The data comparison results are transmitted to the car's central control through the data wire. When the gap between the two sets of data is large, it means that the car's air conditioning filter is seriously blocked. At this time, the car starts the filter self-cleaning function or reminds the driver and passengers to replace the air conditioning filter.
[0057] Step 4: Air quality detection. When the air passes through the device, the laser transmitter and laser receiver in the device cooperate to detect the air quality and transmit the air quality detection data to the central control of the car. At the same time, the air quality detection data is used as an auxiliary judgment of the blockage of the air conditioning filter. When the air passes through the exhaust pipe 401, the laser transmitter emits a laser, which passes through the air and reaches the laser receiver. In the process of passing through the air, the laser is affected by impurities in the air and attenuated. By comparing the attenuation of the laser, the air quality can be detected.
[0058] Embodiment 2
[0059] In the above embodiment, the air quality is mainly detected by emitting lasers by the laser transmitters in the two plug-ins 405 and receiving lasers by the laser receivers, and then according to the attenuation degree of the laser signal. Therefore, the accuracy of the air quality detection data depends on the accuracy of the laser transmitters in the two plug-ins 405 emitting lasers and the laser receivers receiving lasers. During the long-term use of the device, since there are dust particles in the air flowing in the exhaust pipe 401, and since the plug-in 405 is located at the arc-shaped bend of the exhaust pipe 401, the air will slow down when flowing through here, and the dust particles will also be thrown to the plug-in 405 under a certain centrifugal force, causing the dust to easily gather on the surface of the laser transmitter and laser receiver in the plug-in 405, thereby affecting the accuracy of the laser transmitter and laser receiver in measuring the air quality. In particular, when the device is used at the front end of the air conditioning filter, it is more affected by the above factors than when it is used at the rear end of the air conditioning filter. Therefore, when the device is used, it is necessary to consider solving the above problems.
[0060] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, air holes 406 are provided through the inner curved surfaces of the exhaust pipes 401 on both sides, and the air holes 406 are arranged at an angle, and the inclination direction faces the laser transmitter and the laser receiver in the plug block 405. The air holes 406 are connected to the air blowing pipe 407, and the lower end of the air blowing pipe 407 is connected to the air inlet hole 408 on the pipeline below the fixing seat 204, and the air inlet hole 408 is connected to the inside of the pipeline below the fixing seat 204.
[0061] During the air quality detection process, the adjusting part 320 is controlled so that the adjusting part 320 drives the first pressure sensor 302 to the first height position through the driving gear 319, the adjusting gear 318, and the adjusting screw 315. When the first pressure sensor 302 is at the first height position, it is used to measure the air flow rate. During the measurement, the movable column 305 can form a blockage to the air inlet 408 during the up and down movement, and the flowing air will not pass through the air inlet 408 and the blowing pipe 407.
[0062] After the device has been working for a long time, when the vehicle needs to be maintained, in order to improve the accuracy of air detection, it is necessary to clean the dust collected on the laser emitter and the laser receiver in the two plug-in blocks 405. At this time, by controlling the adjustment part 320, the adjustment part 320 drives the first pressure sensor 302 to the second height position through the driving gear 319, the adjustment gear 318, and the adjustment screw 315. The height of the second height position is higher than the first height position. At this time, after the air conditioner is blown in (generally, the wind force is adjusted to the maximum), the wind pushes the movable column 305 to The movable column 305 can move upward, and the movable column 305 can move to a position above the air inlet hole 408 and no longer block the air inlet hole 408. The flowing air can enter the blowing pipe 407 through the air inlet hole 408 and be blown out from the blowing hole 406 along the blowing pipe 407. Since the inclined direction of the blowing hole 406 is directly facing the laser transmitter and the laser receiver in the plug block 405, the blown gas can blow onto the laser transmitter and the laser receiver, and blow off the dust accumulated on the two, thereby cleaning the two, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the air quality measurement of the two in subsequent use.
[0063] After completing the cleaning of the laser transmitter and the laser receiver, by controlling the adjustment part 320, the adjustment part 320 can accurately drive the first pressure sensor 302 to the first height position, that is, the position for detecting the air quality, through the driving gear 319, the adjusting gear 318, and the adjusting screw 315, and then continue to detect the air quality when the air conditioner is in use.
[0064] Embodiment 3
[0065] When the device is used, in order to accurately measure the quality of the air, two are generally provided, one of which is provided at the front end of the air conditioning filter element, and the other is provided at the rear end of the air conditioning filter element; the one located at the front end of the air conditioning filter element can measure the quality and temperature of the air entering the air conditioning filter element; the measured air is temperature-adjusted and filtered, and then reaches the sensor component provided at the rear end of the air conditioning filter element, which can measure the temperature-adjusted and filtered air; in this way, the air flow rate and quality before and after temperature adjustment and filtration can be obtained, so that the driver and passengers can timely understand the air flow rate and quality parameters.
[0066] After the air conditioning filter has been used for a long time, the front and rear two sensor components can measure the difference in air volume and air quality to determine the filter blockage. Generally speaking, when the difference in front and rear air volume is relatively large and / or the difference in front and rear air quality is not large, it means that the car air conditioning filter is seriously blocked and needs to be cleaned or replaced. For general blockages, the driver and passengers can clean the car air conditioning filter to a certain extent through the following operations.
[0067] In addition, according to the comparison of the measurement results of the front and rear sensor components, when the air conditioning filter is seriously clogged, the air conditioning filter can be replaced in time during vehicle maintenance to ensure the air filtration effect.
[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
