Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to a method, system, equipment, storage medium and product for treating condensed water of a water-cooled intercooler. Background Art
[0002] The EGR system introduces part of the exhaust gas after the engine is burned into the intake system, mixes it with fresh air and burns it again. This can reduce the temperature of the combustion chamber, thereby reducing the generation of nitrogen oxides. In addition, due to the low oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas, the combustion speed and temperature can be reduced, and the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) generated can be reduced. For gasoline engines, the EGR system can not only reduce NOX emissions and suppress gasoline engine knocking, but also achieve the goal of reducing fuel consumption. It is an important component for achieving high thermal efficiency. The EGR system currently used in plug-in hybrid vehicles is divided into high-pressure EGR and low-pressure EGR. High-pressure EGR is to lead the exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold through the EGR cooler and EGR valve to the back of the throttle and the front of the intake manifold; low-pressure EGR is to lead the exhaust gas from the catalyst on the exhaust line through the EGR cooler and EGR valve to the EGR mixing valve (MGV valve) and mix with fresh air, and then enter the cylinder through the supercharger, intercooler and other components to participate in combustion. The EGR system re-introduces part of the exhaust gas into the cylinder for combustion. To improve combustion efficiency, the exhaust gas transported by the EGR pipeline needs to be cooled. Since the main components of current fuels are hydrocarbons, the combustion products contain a considerable amount of water vapor. Exhaust gas and fresh air transported from the outside will produce a considerable amount of cooling water (condensed water) after being cooled by the WCAC water-cooled intercooler. Excessive cooling water will cause engine misfire, causing engine speed fluctuations and subsequent vehicle shaking, and in severe cases, permanent damage to the engine. Therefore, how to improve the treatment efficiency of condensed water in the water-cooled intercooler has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0046] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0047] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0048] It should be noted that the EGR system introduces part of the exhaust gas after the engine is burned into the intake system, mixes it with fresh air and burns it again. This can reduce the temperature of the combustion chamber, thereby reducing the generation of nitrogen oxides. In addition, due to the low oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas, the combustion speed and temperature can be reduced, and the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) generated can be reduced. For gasoline engines, the EGR system can not only reduce NOX emissions and suppress gasoline engine knocking, but also achieve the goal of reducing fuel consumption. It is an important component for achieving high thermal efficiency. The EGR system currently used in plug-in hybrid vehicles is divided into high-pressure EGR and low-pressure EGR. High-pressure EGR is to lead the exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold through the EGR cooler and EGR valve to the back of the throttle and the front of the intake manifold; low-pressure EGR is to lead the exhaust gas from the catalyst on the exhaust line through the EGR cooler and EGR valve to the EGR mixing valve (MGV valve) and mix with fresh air, and then enter the cylinder through the supercharger, intercooler and other components to participate in combustion. The EGR system re-introduces part of the exhaust gas into the cylinder for combustion. To improve combustion efficiency, the exhaust gas transported by the EGR pipeline needs to be cooled. Since the main components of current fuels are hydrocarbons, the combustion products contain a considerable amount of water vapor. Exhaust gas and fresh air transported from the outside will produce a considerable amount of cooling water (condensed water) after being cooled by the WCAC water-cooled intercooler. Excessive cooling water will cause engine misfire, causing engine speed fluctuations and subsequent vehicle shaking, and in severe cases, permanent damage to the engine. Therefore, how to improve the treatment efficiency of condensed water in the water-cooled intercooler has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.
[0049] The main solution of the present application is: first determine the current potential of the potentiometer according to the current rising height of the float; determine the target opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the target duty cycle of the atomizer according to the current potential; adjust the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric to the target opening; adjust the duty cycle of the atomizer to the target duty cycle.
[0050] This application uses the linkage between the float and the potentiometer to sense the condensed water level in real time and convert it into a potential signal for accurately controlling the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer. Through this dynamic adjustment mechanism, it can automatically adapt to changes in the amount of condensed water, ensure rapid blocking and efficient consumption when there is too much condensed water, and prevent condensed water from entering the engine. At the same time, unnecessary energy waste is avoided, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency of condensed water in the water-cooled intercooler and the overall operational reliability of the system.
[0051] It should be noted that the execution subject of the method of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, or it can be the above-mentioned water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment device with the same or similar functions. This embodiment and the following embodiments will be described by taking the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment device as an example.
[0052] Based on this, the first embodiment of the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment method of the present application is proposed, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart of the first embodiment of the method for treating condensed water of a water-cooled intercooler of the present application.
[0053] In this embodiment, the method for treating condensed water of a water-cooled intercooler comprises the following steps:
[0054] S1: Determine the current potential of the potentiometer according to the current rising height of the float;
[0055] It should be noted that the float is a device that floats on the surface of the liquid. When the liquid level rises, the float rises with the liquid. The float is usually made of lightweight materials and can float freely in the condensate. The change in the height of the float is directly related to the height of the liquid level. A potentiometer is an electrical component that can generate a corresponding electrical signal based on mechanical displacement (such as the height of the float rising or falling). The output voltage (i.e., potential) of the potentiometer is usually linearly related to the mechanical displacement. The potential is an electrical signal generated by the potentiometer that reflects the current position of the float. The magnitude of the potential is usually proportional to the height of the float, that is, the higher the potential, the higher the float rises and the higher the water level.
[0056] Specifically, in a water-cooled intercooler, as condensate accumulates, the liquid level begins to rise. The float floats on the surface of the condensate, so it rises with the increase in the liquid level. The float is rigidly connected to the potentiometer via a mechanical connecting rod or arm. As the float rises, this mechanical displacement is transmitted to the potentiometer through the connecting rod, causing the internal sliding contact of the potentiometer to displace.
[0057] Furthermore, as the float rises, the position of the sliding contact of the potentiometer changes, and the voltage signal (potential) output by the potentiometer changes accordingly. This voltage signal is linearly related to the height of the float. For example, when the float is at the lowest position, the output of the potentiometer may be close to 0V; and when the float is at the highest position, the output of the potentiometer may reach its maximum value (for example, 5V). The controller monitors the output voltage of the potentiometer in real time and determines the current potential based on the voltage signal. This potential value reflects the current height of the float, that is, the water level of the condensed water.
[0058] Through the linkage of the float and the potentiometer, the system can sense the water level of the condensate in real time and accurately. This provides accurate basic data for subsequent control steps (such as adjusting the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer), ensuring that the response of the entire system is timely and effective. The combination of the float and the potentiometer realizes the automatic conversion of the liquid level to the electrical signal, so that the entire system can control the working state of the relevant components through the electrical signal. This method avoids the errors of manual measurement and control and improves the automation and accuracy of condensate management. The implementation of this step is simple and reliable, and the possible failure points are reduced through the combination of mechanical transmission and electrical signals. Since the signal output of the potentiometer is linearly related to the height of the float, the controller can quickly process the signal and make an immediate response to ensure the stability of the system under various working conditions. Real-time determination of the potential of the potentiometer enables the system to accurately adjust the working intensity (duty cycle) of the atomizer and the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric according to the current amount of condensate. This precise control avoids unnecessary energy consumption and improves energy utilization efficiency. By monitoring the float position in real time through the potentiometer, the system can quickly sense the changes in the condensate and make corresponding adjustments. This rapid response capability is crucial to preventing the adverse effects of condensate on the engine. The above steps accurately and in real time convert the condensate water level into a potential signal through the linkage of the float and the potentiometer, providing key data support for the subsequent operation of the system. This not only improves the automation and control accuracy of the system, but also enhances the reliability and energy efficiency of the system, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the condensate management process.
[0059] S2: determining a target opening degree of the water-proof nonwoven fabric and a target duty cycle of the atomizer according to the current potential;
[0060] It should be noted that the current potential is a voltage signal generated by the potentiometer according to the position of the float, which reflects the current water level of the condensed water. It is the input parameter of the subsequent control system and is used to adjust other components of the system. The target opening refers to the opening angle that the control system calculates the water-proof non-woven fabric needs to reach. This opening determines the ability of the water-proof non-woven fabric to block or guide condensed water, ensuring that the condensed water is properly treated under different water level conditions. The target duty cycle refers to the proportion of time that the control system calculates that the atomizer should work in a working cycle. The higher the duty cycle, the longer the atomizer works in each cycle, and vice versa. This directly affects the efficiency of the atomizer in consuming condensed water.
[0061] Specifically, in step S1, the current position of the float has been obtained in real time through the potentiometer and converted into the current potential. This potential value is the basis for subsequent calculations. When designing the system, the linear or nonlinear relationship between the potential and the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the potential and the atomizer duty cycle is preset. These relationships may be determined by experiments or simulations and stored in the control system in the form of formulas or lookup tables.
[0062] Furthermore, first, according to the current potential, the target opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric is calculated using a preset linear relationship formula or table lookup method. This opening directly affects the ability of the water-proof non-woven fabric to block or guide condensed water. The target opening is proportional to the potential signal, that is, the higher the potential (the more condensed water), the larger the target opening is, to provide greater blocking or guiding capabilities. Next, the system calculates the target duty cycle of the atomizer based on the current potential. The higher the duty cycle, the greater the proportion of time the atomizer works in each working cycle, thereby improving the consumption efficiency of condensed water. This target duty cycle is also proportional to the potential signal, that is, the higher the potential (the more condensed water), the greater the target duty cycle. The calculated target opening and target duty cycle will be dynamically adjusted according to the changes in condensed water. Each time the system reads a new potential signal, these target parameters will be recalculated to ensure the real-time and accuracy of the condensed water treatment process.
[0063] The system can precisely control the condensate treatment by determining the target opening of the water-blocking nonwoven fabric and the target duty cycle of the atomizer based on the potential. This control method ensures that the nonwoven fabric and the atomizer can work in the best state at different condensate levels, without wasting resources or affecting the normal operation of the system. The direct correlation between the potential signal and the target opening and target duty cycle enables the system to respond quickly to changes in condensate. This rapid response is crucial to prevent potential damage to the engine by condensate, which can effectively protect the engine and extend its service life. By automatically calculating the target opening and target duty cycle, the system can adapt to the dynamic changes of condensate without manual intervention. Such automation improves the ease of operation and reliability of the system and reduces the complexity of manual adjustments. By precisely controlling the duty cycle of the atomizer and the opening of the nonwoven fabric, the system can consume the appropriate energy and resources when needed, avoid unnecessary opening adjustments or excessive atomization, and thus achieve energy saving effects. The target opening and duty cycle are calculated and adjusted in real time to keep the condensate treatment process in a dynamic equilibrium state. Whether the condensate increases or decreases, the system can make adjustments quickly, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire condensate treatment. The above steps dynamically calculate and determine the target opening of the water-proof nonwoven fabric and the target duty cycle of the atomizer through the current potential signal, ensuring that the system can make timely and accurate adjustments based on the actual condensate situation. This not only realizes automated and adaptive operation, improves the efficiency of condensate treatment, but also effectively saves energy and enhances the overall reliability and response speed of the system.
[0064] S3: adjusting the opening of the water-isolating nonwoven fabric to the target opening;
[0065] It should be noted that the water-blocking nonwoven fabric is a material installed in the condensate treatment system to block or guide the flow of condensate. Its opening refers to the angle or position change of the water-blocking nonwoven fabric relative to its fully closed state. The larger the opening, the larger the area or path for the condensate to pass through.
[0066] Specifically, in the previous step (S2), the target opening of the water-proof nonwoven fabric has been calculated based on the potential signal. This target opening is a specific angle value that determines the working state of the nonwoven fabric. After the controller receives the value of the target opening, it will generate a corresponding control signal. This signal is usually a voltage, current or PWM (pulse width modulation) signal, which is used to drive the actuator to adjust the water-proof nonwoven fabric to the target opening.
[0067] Furthermore, the actuator in the system (such as a stepper motor, servo motor or other mechanical device) receives the control signal and starts to move. The actuator adjusts the position of the water-proof non-woven fabric according to the intensity or pulse width of the control signal so that it reaches the calculated target opening. For example, if the target opening is 45°, the actuator will drive the water-proof non-woven fabric to rotate from its current angle (such as 30°) to the 45° position. In some high-precision systems, the actuator may be equipped with a position sensor or encoder to monitor the actual opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric in real time. If there is an error between the actual opening and the target opening, the system will make corrections based on the error feedback signal to ensure that the non-woven fabric reaches the precise target opening. This closed-loop control (feedback control) can further improve the control accuracy and response speed of the system. When the water-proof non-woven fabric reaches the target opening, the controller will stop the signal output, the actuator will stop the action, and the water-proof non-woven fabric will remain at the target opening position. In this way, the non-woven fabric blocks or guides the condensed water at an ideal angle, ensuring that the system can efficiently and stably handle the condensed water.
[0068] By precisely adjusting the opening of the water-blocking non-woven fabric, the system can accurately control the flow path of condensate according to the actual condensate volume and flow requirements. This precise control helps prevent condensate from entering the engine or other sensitive components, reducing the risk of engine misfires, etc. The opening of the water-blocking non-woven fabric can be adjusted in real time according to the actual working conditions to adapt to the dynamic changes of condensate. Whether the condensate accumulates in large quantities or gradually decreases, the system can respond quickly and make corresponding adjustments to ensure the continuity and stability of the condensate treatment process. The precise adjustment of the opening of the water-blocking non-woven fabric ensures that the condensate can be blocked or guided at the appropriate opening, avoiding excessive or insufficient treatment. This not only improves the efficiency of condensate treatment, but also keeps the entire system running efficiently and stably under various working conditions. Precise opening adjustment reduces the energy consumption of the system because the non-woven fabric will only adjust according to actual needs, avoiding unnecessary movements. This energy-saving effect is particularly significant in long-term operation, which helps to extend the service life of the system and reduce operating costs. Since the control process is automated and precisely adjusted, the possibility of manual intervention is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of errors and further improving the reliability and overall work efficiency of the system. By adjusting the opening of the water-blocking nonwoven fabric to the target opening, the system achieves precise control of condensed water. Whether blocking, guiding or consuming condensed water, the water-blocking nonwoven fabric can be dynamically adjusted according to the target opening calculated in real time. This precise adjustment not only improves the processing efficiency and response speed of the system, but also saves energy and enhances the stability and reliability of the system.
[0069] S4: adjusting the duty cycle of the atomizer to the target duty cycle.
[0070] It should be noted that an atomizer is a device used to convert a liquid (condensed water in the present invention) into tiny droplets or water mist, thereby accelerating the evaporation or discharge of the liquid. It atomizes the condensed water by means of vibration or pressurization, so that it can be easily handled or dissipated. The duty cycle refers to the ratio of the actual working time of the atomizer to the total time in one cycle. The duty cycle is usually expressed as a percentage. For example, a 50% duty cycle means that the atomizer works half of the time and rests half of the time in a cycle. The higher the duty cycle, the longer the atomizer works in each cycle and the faster the condensed water is consumed.
[0071] Specifically, in the previous step (S2), the system has calculated the target duty cycle of the atomizer based on the current potential signal. The duty cycle value reflects the proportion of time the atomizer should work in one cycle. The controller generates a corresponding PWM (pulse width modulation) signal based on the target duty cycle. A PWM signal is a signal form that controls the proportion of the device's on / off time by adjusting the pulse width. For example, if the target duty cycle is 70%, the controller generates a PWM signal with a pulse width of 70% of the total cycle.
[0072] Furthermore, after receiving the PWM signal, the driving circuit of the atomizer will control the working state of the atomizer according to the duty cycle of the signal. The atomizer will work according to the target duty cycle in each cycle and be in a closed or standby state for the remaining time. For example, when the target duty cycle is 70%, the atomizer will work 70% of the time and rest 30% of the time. In this way, the atomizer will atomize the condensed water with appropriate intensity. As the amount of condensed water changes, the system will dynamically adjust the target duty cycle. Every time a new potential signal is obtained, the system will recalculate the target duty cycle of the atomizer and adjust the PWM signal accordingly to ensure that the atomizer always works in the best state. If the system adopts a feedback control mechanism (for example, through a temperature or humidity sensor), it can also be further adjusted according to the actual atomization effect to optimize the duty cycle of the atomizer. The atomizer works according to the set target duty cycle. When the condensed water is fully processed or the water level is reduced, the system can adjust the duty cycle to a lower level or even stop the atomizer to save energy.
[0073] By adjusting the duty cycle of the atomizer according to the amount of condensed water, the system can accurately control the rate of condensed water consumption. The higher the duty cycle, the more intensive the atomizer works and the faster the condensed water is consumed, and vice versa. This precise adjustment helps prevent excessive accumulation of condensed water in the system and avoids potential damage to key components such as the engine. The duty cycle of the atomizer can be dynamically adjusted according to the changes in the amount of condensed water, and the system automatically adapts to the treatment needs of condensed water without manual intervention. This improves the automation of the system and reduces the burden on operators, while ensuring the continuity and stability of the condensed water treatment process. By accurately adjusting the duty cycle, the system can reduce the working intensity of the atomizer when the amount of condensed water is small, thereby saving energy. When the amount of condensed water is large, the atomizer can work at a higher duty cycle to ensure fast and efficient consumption of condensed water. This flexible control method enables the system to maintain efficient operation under different working conditions and reduce energy waste. The duty cycle control of the atomizer is adjusted in real time by the controller, ensuring the reliability and stability of the system. Regardless of how the accumulation rate of condensed water changes, the system can respond quickly and adjust the working state of the atomizer to prevent system failure caused by excessive accumulation of condensed water. By controlling the duty cycle, the atomizer only works at the appropriate intensity when needed, which reduces the wear and overheating risk of the atomizer and extends the service life of the equipment. In addition, the system can automatically adjust the duty cycle of the atomizer to the minimum or even stop working after the condensed water is treated, further protecting the atomizer. By adjusting the duty cycle of the atomizer to the target duty cycle, the system can accurately control the consumption rate of condensed water and dynamically respond to the changing demand for condensed water, while achieving energy saving and efficient operation. This step not only ensures the stability and reliability of the system, but also extends the service life of the atomizer and improves the overall efficiency of the entire condensed water treatment system.
[0074] This embodiment first determines the current potential of the potentiometer according to the current rising height of the float; determines the target opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the target duty cycle of the atomizer according to the current potential; adjusts the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric to the target opening; and adjusts the duty cycle of the atomizer to the target duty cycle. This embodiment senses the height of the condensed water level in real time through the linkage between the float and the potentiometer, and converts it into a potential signal for accurately controlling the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer. Through this dynamic adjustment mechanism, it can automatically adapt to changes in the amount of condensed water, ensure rapid blocking and efficient consumption when there is too much condensed water, and prevent condensed water from entering the engine. At the same time, unnecessary energy waste is avoided, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency of condensed water in the water-cooled intercooler and the overall operational reliability of the system.
[0075] Based on the above first embodiment, a second embodiment of the method for treating condensed water of a water-cooled intercooler of the present application is proposed. Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of a sub-process in the second embodiment of the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment method of the present application.
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, after step S4, the following steps are further included:
[0077] S4a: monitoring the amount of condensed water in real time;
[0078] S4b: if it is detected that the amount of condensed water is lower than a preset reset water amount threshold, adjusting the opening of the water-isolating non-woven fabric to an initial opening;
[0079] S4c: adjusting the duty cycle of the atomizer to an initial duty cycle.
[0080] It should be noted that the amount of condensed water refers to the volume or liquid level of condensed water accumulated in the water-cooled intercooler. Condensed water is generated by gas cooling in the engine exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. Real-time monitoring refers to the continuous and constant detection of changes in the amount of condensed water through sensors or system components (such as floats and potentiometers). Real-time monitoring ensures that the system can obtain the latest data on condensed water in a timely manner so that corresponding control adjustments can be made. The preset reset water volume threshold is a specific value set in the system. When the amount of condensed water is lower than this value, the system will perform a specific reset operation. This threshold is usually determined based on experiments or engineering design to ensure that the system returns to its initial state when the condensed water is treated or reaches a safe level. The initial opening refers to the opening of the water-insulating non-woven fabric in the initial state of the system. This opening is usually small or zero, and is used to restore the water-insulating non-woven fabric to the default position after the condensed water treatment is completed, in preparation for the next operation. The initial duty cycle refers to the working ratio of the atomizer in the initial state of the system. Usually the initial duty cycle is 0%, that is, the atomizer does not work. This setting ensures that the atomizer stops running after the condensate is consumed, saving energy.
[0081] Specifically, the system uses sensors (such as floats and potentiometers) to detect the amount of condensed water in real time. The float rises or falls as the condensed water level changes, and the potentiometer converts the mechanical movement of the float into an electrical signal, which directly reflects the amount of condensed water. The controller receives the signal from the potentiometer in real time and processes the signal to determine whether the current amount of condensed water has changed. Through continuous data acquisition and processing, the system can dynamically monitor the amount of condensed water to ensure timely response to the accumulation or reduction of condensed water.
[0082] Further, the controller compares the amount of condensed water monitored in real time with a preset reset water volume threshold. If the amount of condensed water is lower than the threshold, the system considers that the condensed water treatment has been completed or the amount of water has been reduced to a sufficiently safe level. Once the amount of condensed water is detected to be lower than the threshold, the controller generates a reset signal to instruct the actuator to restore the water-proof non-woven fabric to the initial opening. The initial opening is usually a small angle or a completely closed state. The actuator (such as a motor or servo device) adjusts the angle of the water-proof non-woven fabric according to the reset signal to return it to the initial position. This adjustment ensures that after the condensed water treatment is completed, the water-proof non-woven fabric will not continue to block or guide the water flow, and prepare for the next condensed water treatment. At the same time, the controller will also issue an instruction to adjust the duty cycle of the atomizer to the initial duty cycle. The initial duty cycle is usually 0%, indicating that the atomizer stops working. The actuator will stop the operation of the atomizer according to the instruction. This stop operation ensures that there is no unnecessary energy consumption after the condensed water is consumed, while reducing the wear and aging of the atomizer.
[0083] When the amount of condensed water is lower than the preset threshold, the system automatically resets the water-proof non-woven fabric and the atomizer to the initial state, which effectively prevents energy waste. In particular, the adjustment of the atomizer duty cycle can stop the atomizer in time after the condensed water treatment is completed, thereby saving energy consumption. The system automatically determines whether it needs to be reset by monitoring the amount of condensed water in real time, avoiding the complexity and inaccuracy of manual intervention. This automated operation improves the system's work efficiency and response speed, ensuring that the system can quickly return to standby mode after the condensed water treatment is completed and prepare for the next work. After the condensed water is consumed, the system restores the water-proof non-woven fabric and the atomizer to the initial state, avoiding unnecessary operation. This reduces the wear and overuse of the equipment, helps to extend the service life of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the atomizer, and reduces maintenance and replacement costs. After the system is reset, all components return to the initial state, putting the system in a stable standby state. This design prevents system instability caused by excessive or incomplete treatment of condensed water, and enhances the reliability and operational safety of the system. By monitoring the condensate volume in real time and resetting it at the right time, the system ensures the optimization and continuity of the condensate management process. The system can automatically identify when to stop processing, avoiding over-processing or under-processing, thereby achieving the best condensate management effect. By monitoring the condensate volume in real time and automatically resetting the system when it is lower than the preset reset water volume threshold, the system's energy saving effect, automation level and equipment life can be significantly improved. This process not only improves the efficiency of condensate treatment, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the system, ensuring the efficiency, continuity and intelligence of the condensate management process.
[0084] Based on the above first embodiment, in this embodiment, the water-cooled intercooler condensate water treatment system further includes a water-blocking grid plate, the float is mounted on the water-blocking grid plate, and the method further includes:
[0085] Sa: determining the amount of condensed water according to the current ascent height;
[0086] Sb: When the amount of condensed water exceeds the preset blocking water threshold, the float rises and drives the water-blocking grid to rise.
[0087] It should be noted that the current rising height refers to the vertical displacement of the float from the initial position to the current water level position during the rising process of the condensate water level. It reflects the current condensate water level. The preset blocking water threshold is a specific water volume value or corresponding water level set in a system. When the amount of condensate water exceeds this threshold, the system will perform a specific blocking operation to prevent excessive condensate water from entering sensitive components. The water-blocking grid is a mechanical component that is linked to the float. When the condensate water level rises to a certain height, the water-blocking grid will rise with the rise of the float, thereby blocking the condensate and preventing it from entering other key components of the system.
[0088] Specifically, as the condensate water level rises, the float also rises. The system senses the current rise height through the mechanical displacement of the float. This height is the vertical displacement of the float from the initial position to the current water level position. The controller determines the corresponding condensate water volume based on the current rise height of the float through a preset conversion formula or table lookup method. This conversion may be based on the geometry of the water-cooled intercooler and the physical properties of the float. The calculated condensate water volume represents the volume of condensate water accumulated in the current system, which is used to determine whether blocking measures are needed.
[0089] Furthermore, the controller compares the calculated amount of condensed water with the preset blocking water threshold. If the amount of condensed water exceeds this threshold, the system determines that blocking measures need to be taken to prevent excessive accumulation of condensed water and affect the normal operation of the system. When the amount of condensed water exceeds the threshold, the condensed water level continues to rise, and the float also rises further. This process continues to increase the displacement of the float and its mechanically connected parts. Since the float and the water-blocking grid are mechanically connected, when the float rises to a certain height, the water-blocking grid is driven up by the float. The rise of the water-blocking grid effectively blocks the condensed water from continuing to enter other parts of the system, thereby protecting the key components of the system. This action is usually achieved by a simple lever or linkage mechanism to ensure that each small displacement of the float will result in a corresponding rise of the water-blocking grid.
[0090] By monitoring the rising height of the float in real time and calculating the amount of condensate, the system can automatically identify the current accumulation of condensate. This automatic identification capability enables the system to respond promptly when there is too much condensate, avoiding manual intervention and possible operational errors. When the amount of condensate exceeds the preset blocking water threshold, the system drives the water barrier to rise through the further rise of the float to prevent the condensate from continuing to accumulate. This process effectively prevents condensate from entering the sensitive components of the system and causing damage to key equipment such as the engine. The rise of the water barrier can effectively block the condensate and protect other components in the system from the effects of condensate. This not only extends the service life of system components, but also reduces the risk of system failure or damage caused by excessive condensate. Through the linkage of the float and the water barrier, the system can automatically respond to changes in condensate without human intervention. This automated design reduces operational complexity and ensures that the system can maintain efficient and stable operation under different working conditions. When the condensate exceeds the safe water volume, the automatic rise of the water barrier plays a protective role to prevent condensate from damaging the key components of the system. This design improves the overall reliability and safety of the system, especially under extreme conditions, and can effectively avoid system failures caused by excessive accumulation of condensed water. By real-time monitoring of the rising height of the float to determine the amount of condensed water, and automatically raising the water barrier when the water volume exceeds the preset blocking water threshold, the system can effectively prevent excessive accumulation of condensed water, protect key system components, and enhance the reliability and safety of overall operation. This automated process improves the system's adaptability and ease of operation, providing the system with higher stability and safety guarantees.
[0091] This embodiment first determines the current potential of the potentiometer according to the current rising height of the float; determines the target opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the target duty cycle of the atomizer according to the current potential; adjusts the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric to the target opening; and adjusts the duty cycle of the atomizer to the target duty cycle. This embodiment senses the height of the condensed water level in real time through the linkage between the float and the potentiometer, and converts it into a potential signal for accurately controlling the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer. Through this dynamic adjustment mechanism, it can automatically adapt to changes in the amount of condensed water, ensure rapid blocking and efficient consumption when there is too much condensed water, and prevent condensed water from entering the engine. At the same time, unnecessary energy waste is avoided, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency of condensed water in the water-cooled intercooler and the overall operational reliability of the system.
[0092] Based on the above second embodiment, a third embodiment of the method for treating condensed water of a water-cooled intercooler of the present application is proposed. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a sub-process in the third embodiment of the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment method of the present application.
[0093] In this embodiment, step S1 includes:
[0094] S11: determining the displacement of the preset connecting rod according to the rising height;
[0095] S12: Determine the current potential according to the displacement of the preset connecting rod.
[0096] It should be noted that the preset connecting rod is a mechanical component connecting the float and the potentiometer, which is used to convert the vertical movement of the float into a displacement signal of the potentiometer. The connecting rod is usually rigidly connected and can accurately transmit the movement of the float. The displacement here refers to the mechanical displacement of the preset connecting rod. Since the rise of the float will drive the movement of the connecting rod, the displacement of the connecting rod is proportional to the rising height of the float.
[0097] Specifically, as the condensate level rises, the float moves upward from its initial position. This movement is transmitted to the potentiometer through a rigidly connected preset connecting rod. The displacement of the connecting rod directly reflects the rising height of the float. The displacement of the preset connecting rod is usually a direct reflection of the rising height of the float. During design, the displacement of the connecting rod can be calibrated according to the rising height of the float. For example, if the float rises 10 mm, the connecting rod may produce a corresponding 10 mm displacement, or be enlarged or reduced by a lever mechanism. In some complex systems, the calculation of displacement may involve geometric relationships, such as rotational connections, angle conversions, etc., but ultimately they will be converted into linear or nonlinear displacements proportional to the rising height of the float.
[0098] Furthermore, the displacement of the preset connecting rod is transmitted to the potentiometer. A potentiometer is a sensor that generates a voltage signal based on mechanical displacement. The displacement of the connecting rod causes the internal sliding contact of the potentiometer to move, thereby changing the output voltage of the potentiometer. The output voltage of the potentiometer (i.e., the current potential) is usually linearly related to the displacement of the connecting rod. For example, the greater the displacement of the connecting rod, the higher the output voltage of the potentiometer. The controller or measurement system monitors the output voltage of the potentiometer in real time to determine the current potential value. This potential value directly corresponds to the rising height of the float and reflects the current water level of the condensed water. For example, if the displacement of the connecting rod is 20 mm, and the potential signal corresponding to the displacement is 2.5 V, the controller will record the current potential as 2.5 V, which will be used for subsequent system control (such as adjusting the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer).
[0099] Through the precise transmission of the float's rising height, the system can accurately calculate the displacement of the preset connecting rod and further determine the output potential of the potentiometer. In this way, the system can monitor the condensate level in real time and accurately to ensure the accuracy of subsequent control operations. Through the design of the preset connecting rod, the system can directly transmit the vertical movement of the float to the potentiometer, reducing the complex transmission mechanism. The simplified mechanical design not only reduces costs, but also reduces potential failure points and improves the reliability of the system. Through the potential signal output by the potentiometer in real time, the system can realize automatic operation and dynamically adjust the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer. This automated feedback control enables the system to respond to changes in the condensate level in a timely manner and optimize the condensate treatment process. The direct relationship between the displacement of the connecting rod and the potential signal enables the system to quickly convert the float's rising height information into a potential signal and process it quickly. This fast response capability is crucial to prevent excessive accumulation of condensate and adverse effects on the system. Since the displacement of the preset connecting rod can accurately transmit the rising height of the float, the potential signal output by the potentiometer is also more stable and reliable. The system can be precisely controlled based on a stable potential signal, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the overall system.
[0100] By determining the displacement of the preset connecting rod according to the rising height of the float, and then determining the current potential according to the displacement of the connecting rod, the system realizes accurate monitoring and real-time feedback of the condensate water level. This design not only simplifies the mechanical structure, but also improves the response speed and stability of the system, providing higher accuracy and efficiency guarantee for the condensate water treatment process.
[0101] Based on the above second embodiment, in this embodiment, step S12 includes:
[0102] S121: determining a preliminary potential according to the displacement of the preset connecting rod;
[0103] S122: filtering the preliminary potential to obtain a filtered potential;
[0104] S123: Calibrate the filter potential to obtain the current potential.
[0105] It should be noted that the displacement of the preset connecting rod refers to the displacement of the mechanical rod connecting the float and the potentiometer when the float rises. This displacement directly reflects the change in the condensate water level. The preliminary potential is the original voltage signal generated by the potentiometer under the action of the preset connecting rod displacement. It is an unprocessed potential value that directly reflects the rising height of the float. Filtering refers to smoothing the preliminary potential signal to eliminate or reduce noise or sudden fluctuations in the signal to obtain a more stable signal output. The filtered signal is called the filtered potential. The filtered potential is a potential signal after filtering, which is smoother and more stable than the preliminary potential, reducing the influence of noise and interference. The calibration process is to correct the filtered potential signal to ensure that the correspondence between the potential signal and the actual float position and the condensate water level is accurate. The calibrated signal is called the current potential.
[0106] Specifically, as the condensate water level rises, the float is displaced through the preset connecting rod, and this displacement directly acts on the potentiometer, causing the internal sliding contact to displace and generate a voltage signal. The potentiometer outputs a corresponding voltage signal according to the displacement of the preset connecting rod, and this voltage signal is the preliminary potential. The preliminary potential directly reflects the current position of the float and the water level of the condensate water. The preliminary potential signal may contain various noises or instantaneous fluctuations, which may come from external electromagnetic interference, mechanical vibration, or the accuracy limitation of the potentiometer itself. Filtering is intended to eliminate these unnecessary fluctuations and ensure the stability and reliability of the signal. Filtering can be performed in a variety of ways, such as low-pass filters, average filtering methods, or digital filtering algorithms. Low-pass filters are often used to eliminate high-frequency noise, while average filtering methods smooth signals by taking multiple samples and averaging them. For example, when a low-pass filter is used, the high-frequency noise in the preliminary potential is weakened, and only the low-frequency signal corresponding to the actual displacement is retained to obtain a smooth filtered potential.
[0107] Furthermore, the potential signal after filtering is called the filtered potential. The filtered potential is more stable and can more accurately reflect the position change of the float, reducing the impact of noise on subsequent processing. Although the filtered potential is relatively stable, due to the linear deviation, temperature drift or mechanical error of the potentiometer, the filtered potential may still not fully and accurately reflect the true position of the float. Therefore, calibration processing is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the potential signal. The calibration process can be based on pre-set calibration data or by comparing with a known standard signal. For example, the system can establish a calibration curve by measuring the potential signal at different water levels during production, and map the filtered potential to the precise current potential. The calibration process may also consider environmental factors such as temperature or humidity changes, and make dynamic adjustments to further improve accuracy. The calibrated potential signal is called the current potential. The current potential should accurately reflect the actual position of the float and the water level of the condensate, and is the key input of the subsequent control logic.
[0108] Through filtering, the noise and sudden fluctuations in the preliminary potential are effectively eliminated, and the obtained filtered potential is more stable and reliable. This enhances the signal quality of the system and reduces the control error caused by noise interference. The calibration process ensures that the final current potential accurately reflects the actual float position and condensate water level by correcting the linear deviation or other errors in the filtered potential. This improves the measurement accuracy of the system and ensures the accuracy of subsequent control operations. The stable and accurate current potential provides a reliable data basis for the control of the system. Whether it is adjusting the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric or adjusting the duty cycle of the atomizer, the system can make reasonable decisions based on accurate potential information, improving the response speed and control effect of the overall system. Through filtering and calibration, the system reduces misoperation caused by noise and measurement errors. This not only improves the reliability of the system, but also reduces over-adjustment and unnecessary operation of the equipment, and extends the service life of the equipment. The stability and accuracy of the potential signal directly affect the overall stability and reliability of the system. Through filtering and calibration, the system can maintain consistent performance and provide reliable condensate management even in complex working environments. By determining the preliminary potential based on the displacement of the preset connecting rod, filtering and calibrating it, the system can obtain a more stable and accurate current potential signal. This signal provides a reliable data basis for subsequent control operations, helping to improve the accuracy, stability and overall performance of the condensate management system, while reducing misoperation and equipment loss, and enhancing the reliability and service life of the system.
[0109] Based on the above second embodiment, in this embodiment, step S2 includes:
[0110] S21: determining a preliminary opening according to a linear relationship between the current potential, a preset potential and an opening;
[0111] S22: determining a preliminary duty cycle according to a linear relationship between the current potential, the preset potential and the duty cycle;
[0112] S23: adjusting the preliminary opening based on the temperature data and the humidity data to obtain the target opening;
[0113] S24: Based on the temperature data and the humidity data, the preliminary duty cycle is adjusted to obtain the target duty cycle.
[0114] It should be noted that the preset potential is the standard potential value set according to different water level heights when the system is designed, which is used to compare or map with the current potential to ensure the accuracy of control. The initial opening is the initial opening value calculated based on the linear relationship between the current potential, the preset potential and the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric. It reflects the opening that the water-proof non-woven fabric should reach without considering the influence of the external environment. The initial duty cycle is the initial duty cycle calculated based on the linear relationship between the current potential, the preset potential and the atomizer duty cycle. It represents the working intensity of the atomizer without considering the influence of the external environment. The temperature data is the ambient temperature information measured in real time by the temperature sensor. The temperature affects the formation and evaporation rate of condensed water, so it needs to be considered when adjusting the opening and duty cycle. The humidity data is the ambient humidity information measured by the humidity sensor. Humidity affects the content of water vapor in the air, which in turn affects the treatment effect of condensed water. Therefore, humidity data plays an important role in adjusting the opening and duty cycle.
[0115] Specifically, the system presets a linear relationship between the current potential and the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric. The controller calculates the preliminary opening value based on the current potential value through a linear relationship formula or a lookup table. The preliminary opening represents the opening angle that the water-proof non-woven fabric should reach under the current potential. This value does not take into account the influence of ambient temperature and humidity, and is calculated only based on the potential signal and preset standards. Similarly, the system presets a linear relationship between the current potential and the atomizer duty cycle. The controller calculates the preliminary duty cycle based on the current potential value through a linear relationship formula or a lookup table. The preliminary duty cycle is the ratio of the atomizer working intensity calculated based on the current potential. This value also does not take into account the influence of temperature and humidity, and is calculated only based on the potential signal and preset standards.
[0116] Furthermore, the ambient temperature and humidity will directly affect the formation and evaporation rate of condensed water. For example, in a low temperature and high humidity environment, condensed water is not easy to evaporate, and the system may need a larger opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric to block more condensed water; while in a high temperature and low humidity environment, condensed water is easier to evaporate, and a smaller opening may be required. The controller corrects the preliminary opening according to the current temperature and humidity data. The correction method may include weighted calculation, looking up the temperature and humidity compensation table, etc. The adjusted target opening is more in line with the current environmental conditions, ensuring that the water-proof non-woven fabric works at a suitable opening to achieve the best condensed water management effect. Temperature and humidity also affect the working effect of the atomizer. In a high temperature and low humidity environment, the atomizer may require a higher duty cycle to accelerate the evaporation of condensed water; while in a low temperature and high humidity environment, the working intensity of the atomizer may need to be appropriately reduced to prevent excessive energy consumption. The controller corrects the preliminary duty cycle according to the temperature and humidity data, in a similar way to the opening adjustment. The adjusted target duty cycle can better adapt to the current environmental conditions, ensure that the atomizer consumes condensed water at a suitable working intensity, and achieve the best energy utilization and processing efficiency.
[0117] By introducing temperature and humidity data to adjust the opening and duty cycle, the system can dynamically adapt to different environmental conditions, ensuring efficient management of condensate in various climate conditions. This adaptive ability greatly enhances the flexibility and reliability of the system. Based on environmental factors, the system can more accurately control the opening of the water-blocking non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer to optimize the treatment process of condensate. Whether in high temperature, low temperature, dry or humid environment, the system can maintain optimal treatment efficiency. By adjusting the preliminary opening and preliminary duty cycle, the system can increase the treatment intensity when necessary and reduce the treatment intensity when conditions are suitable, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and waste of resources. This precise adjustment improves the energy utilization efficiency of the system. By combining potential signals and environmental data, the system can more accurately control the working state of the water-blocking non-woven fabric and the atomizer. This precise control not only improves the treatment effect, but also enhances the overall stability of the system and reduces fluctuations and failures caused by environmental changes. Because the system can dynamically adjust the working intensity according to the actual environmental conditions, it avoids excessive use of equipment, thereby extending the service life of the water-blocking non-woven fabric and the atomizer. This reduces maintenance costs and equipment replacement frequency, further improving the economy of the system. By combining the potential signal with environmental data, the system realizes an intelligent condensate management mode. This mode not only makes the condensate treatment process more accurate and efficient, but also significantly improves the environmental adaptability of the system, reduces resource waste, and extends the service life of the equipment. Ultimately, these advantages jointly improve the stability, reliability and economic benefits of the system, making it perform well in practical applications.
[0118] This embodiment first determines the current potential of the potentiometer according to the current rising height of the float; determines the target opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the target duty cycle of the atomizer according to the current potential; adjusts the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric to the target opening; and adjusts the duty cycle of the atomizer to the target duty cycle. This embodiment senses the height of the condensed water level in real time through the linkage between the float and the potentiometer, and converts it into a potential signal for accurately controlling the opening of the water-proof non-woven fabric and the duty cycle of the atomizer. Through this dynamic adjustment mechanism, it can automatically adapt to changes in the amount of condensed water, ensure rapid blocking and efficient consumption when there is too much condensed water, and prevent condensed water from entering the engine. At the same time, unnecessary energy waste is avoided, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency of condensed water in the water-cooled intercooler and the overall operational reliability of the system.
[0119] For example, in order to help understand the technical concept or technical principle of the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment method of the above embodiment, please refer to Figure 4-Figure 6 , Figure 4 This is a structural example diagram of a condensate treatment system for a water-cooled intercooler when there is no condensate in the water-cooled intercooler in an embodiment of a method for treating condensate in a water-cooled intercooler of the present application; Figure 5 This is a structural example diagram of a condensate treatment system for a water-cooled intercooler when condensate exists in the water-cooled intercooler in an embodiment of the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment method of the present application; Figure 6 This is an example diagram of the structure of the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment system when the condensate in the water-cooled intercooler is consumed in one embodiment of the water-cooled intercooler condensate treatment method of the present application.
[0120] exist Figure 4-Figure 6 Among them, 1-WCAC water-cooled intercooler, 2-float potentiometer, 3-control device, 4-atomizer pipeline for condensate consumption, 5-atomizer, 6-water-proof non-woven fabric, 7-water-proof grid, 8-float device.
[0121] like Figure 4 As shown, when there is no condensed water in the WCAC water-cooled intercooler 1, the float device 8 installed on the water-blocking grid 7 is in a horizontal state under the action of gravity, and the potentiometer rigidly connected to the float is also at 0. At this time, the water-blocking non-woven fabric 6 is in an initial horizontal state under the control of the control unit 3, and the duty cycle of the atomizer 5 is 0 and does not work.
[0122] like Figure 5As shown, when there is condensed water in the WCAC water-cooled intercooler 1, the float device 8 installed on the water-blocking grid 7 rises under the action of buoyancy. After the water-blocking grid 7 rises, it can block the condensed water and realize the water storage function. At the same time, the potentiometer rigidly connected to the float will also increase its potential gradually as the float continues to rise. The controller linearly controls the switching angle of the water-blocking non-woven fabric 6 used to block the water flow from entering the engine under variable working conditions and the duty cycle of the atomizer 5 used to consume condensed water according to the potential signal.
[0123] like Figure 6 As shown, when the condensed water is consumed, the float device 8 installed on the water-proof grid plate 7 is in a horizontal state under the action of gravity, and the potentiometer rigidly connected to the float is restored to 0. At this time, the water-proof non-woven fabric 6 returns to the initial horizontal state under the control of the control unit 3, and the duty cycle of the atomizer 5 is restored to 0 again and does not work.
