DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The embodiments of the present application provide an air intake system, a vehicle and a control method, which can solve the problem in the prior art that air generally needs to be pre-filtered through an air coarse filter before entering the air filter for fine filtration. The dust removal principle of the air coarse filter is generally cyclone centrifugal separation or adsorption and flushing through an oil-containing filter. The pre-filtration effect of the air coarse filter is good in a dusty environment, but the pre-filtration effect is not obvious in a low-dust environment. On the contrary, due to the large resistance of the air coarse filter, there is a problem of increased fuel consumption and reduced power in a low-dust state.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, on the one hand, the present application provides an air intake system, which includes an air intake duct 1, an air filter 3 and an air coarse filter 2, wherein the air intake duct 1 is provided with a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 which can be opened and closed at the air outlet end; the air filter 3 is provided with a first air intake 31 and a second air intake 32 at the air intake end, and the second air intake 32 is connected to the second air outlet 12 through a pipeline; the air coarse filter 2 is arranged on the pipeline between the first air outlet 11 and the first air intake 31.

[0030] When installing the air intake system, the air outlet end of the air intake duct 1 is provided with a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 that can be opened and closed, the air inlet end of the air filter 3 is provided with a first air inlet 31 and a second air inlet 32, the second air inlet 32 ​​is connected with the second air outlet 12 through a pipeline, and the air coarse filter 2 is arranged on the pipeline between the first air outlet 11 and the first air inlet 31. It is judged whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration. If the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed. In a low-dust environment, the vehicle does not need to use the air coarse filter 2 to reduce the intake resistance, thereby reducing fuel consumption and improving power. This solves the problem in the prior art that air generally needs to be pre-filtered through the air coarse filter before entering the air filter for fine filtration. The dust removal principle of the air coarse filter is generally cyclone centrifugal separation or adsorption and flushing through an oil-containing filter. The air coarse filter has a good pre-filtration effect in a dusty environment, but the pre-filtration effect is not obvious in a low-dust environment. On the contrary, due to the large resistance of the air coarse filter, there is a problem of increased fuel consumption and reduced power in a low-dust state.

[0031] In this example, the vehicle can reduce intake resistance by not using an air coarse filter in a low-dust environment, thereby reducing fuel consumption by about 0.4% and increasing power by about 0.3%.

[0032] In this example, the air intake duct 1 includes an upper air intake duct 13 and a lower air intake duct 14 , the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 are both located at the air outlet end of the lower air intake duct 14 , and the air outlet end of the air filter 3 is connected to the engine 7 .

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments, a valve 4 is provided at the outlet end of the air inlet 1 , and the valve 4 is respectively connected to the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 for opening or closing the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 .

[0034] In this embodiment, a valve 4 is provided at the air outlet end of the air inlet 1, and the valve 4 is respectively connected to the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12, and is used to open or close the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12. The structure is simple, and the process of opening and closing the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 is convenient, that is, if the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened, and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3; if the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened, and the first air outlet 11 is closed.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, in some optional embodiments, a controller 5 is further included, and the controller 5 is connected to the valve 4 by signal. The controller 5 is used to open or close the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 according to the difference between the current dust concentration and the set dust concentration.

[0036] In this embodiment, the air intake system also includes a controller 5, which is connected to the valve 4 by signal. The controller 5 is used to open or close the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 according to the difference between the current dust concentration and the set dust concentration. The current dust concentration and the set dust concentration are judged by the difference between the current dust concentration and the set dust concentration. The judgment result can be quickly obtained through the controller 5, and the switching process of the valve 4 can also be automatically executed conveniently, that is, if the controller 5 determines that the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments, a dust sensor 6 is further included. The dust sensor 6 is in signal communication with the controller 5 . The dust sensor 6 is used to obtain the current dust concentration in the environment and transmit the information to the controller 5 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the air intake system also includes a dust sensor 6, which is connected to the controller 5 by signal. The dust sensor 6 is used to obtain the current dust concentration of the environment and transmit information to the controller 5. The controller 5 compares the current dust concentration fed back and the set dust concentration to adjust the opening and closing of the valve 4. That is, if the controller 5 determines that the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed.

[0039] In this example, the dust sensor 6 outputs the TSP (total suspended particulate matter) concentration and transmits the TSP concentration signal to the controller 5 in real time. The controller 5 records the TSP concentration and time. When the controller 5 detects that the TSP concentration is ≥ 20 mg / m 3 When the controller 5 detects that the TSP concentration is less than 20 mg / m 3 , open the second air outlet 12 and close the first air outlet 11.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the dust sensor 6 is a laser sensor.

[0041] In this embodiment, the dust sensor 6 is a laser sensor, the sensor data refresh frequency is 1s, and the relative error is 0.1mg / m 3 , range 0-100mg / m 3 , the measurement results are more accurate.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the valve 4 includes two valve units, and the two valve units control the first gas outlet 11 and the second gas outlet 12 respectively.

[0043] In this embodiment, the structure of the valve 4 is specifically described. The valve 4 includes two valve units. The two valve units control the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 respectively, so as to facilitate the separate control of the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12.

[0044] In this example, the valve 4 may also be a valve structure that can control the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 at the same time.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, on the one hand, the present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned intake system.

[0046] When installing the air intake system, the air outlet end of the air intake duct 1 is provided with a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 that can be opened and closed, the air inlet end of the air filter 3 is provided with a first air inlet 31 and a second air inlet 32, the second air inlet 32 ​​is connected with the second air outlet 12 through a pipeline, and the air coarse filter 2 is arranged on the pipeline between the first air outlet 11 and the first air inlet 31. It is judged whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration. If the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed. In a low-dust environment, the vehicle does not need to use the air coarse filter 2 to reduce the intake resistance, thereby reducing fuel consumption and improving power. This solves the problem in the prior art that air generally needs to be pre-filtered through the air coarse filter before entering the air filter for fine filtration. The dust removal principle of the air coarse filter is generally cyclone centrifugal separation or adsorption and flushing through an oil-containing filter. The air coarse filter has a good pre-filtration effect in a dusty environment, but the pre-filtration effect is not obvious in a low-dust environment. On the contrary, due to the large resistance of the air coarse filter, there is a problem of increased fuel consumption and reduced power in a low-dust state.

[0047] In this embodiment, a valve 4 is provided at the air outlet end of the air inlet 1, and the valve 4 is respectively connected to the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12, and is used to open or close the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12. The structure is simple, and the process of opening and closing the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 is convenient, that is, if the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened, and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3; if the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened, and the first air outlet 11 is closed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the air intake system also includes a controller 5, which is connected to the valve 4 by signal. The controller 5 is used to open or close the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 according to the difference between the current dust concentration and the set dust concentration. The current dust concentration and the set dust concentration are judged by the difference between the current dust concentration and the set dust concentration. The judgment result can be quickly obtained through the controller 5, and the switching process of the valve 4 can also be automatically executed conveniently, that is, if the controller 5 determines that the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed.

[0049] In this embodiment, the air intake system also includes a dust sensor 6, which is connected to the controller 5 by signal. The dust sensor 6 is used to obtain the current dust concentration of the environment and transmit information to the controller 5. The controller 5 compares the current dust concentration fed back and the set dust concentration to adjust the opening and closing of the valve 4. That is, if the controller 5 determines that the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the dust sensor 6 is a laser sensor, the sensor data refresh frequency is 1s, and the relative error is 0.1mg / m 3 , range 0-100mg / m 3 , the measurement results are more accurate.

[0051] In this embodiment, the structure of the valve 4 is specifically described. The valve 4 includes two valve units. The two valve units control the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 respectively, so as to facilitate the separate control of the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12.

[0052] On the other hand, the present application also provides an intake system control method, which is implemented using the above-mentioned intake system and includes the following steps:

[0053] Determine whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration;

[0054] If the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3;

[0055] If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed.

[0056] When installing the air intake system, the air outlet end of the air intake duct 1 is provided with a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 that can be opened and closed, the air inlet end of the air filter 3 is provided with a first air inlet 31 and a second air inlet 32, the second air inlet 32 ​​is connected with the second air outlet 12 through a pipeline, and the air coarse filter 2 is arranged on the pipeline between the first air outlet 11 and the first air inlet 31. It is judged whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration. If the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed. In a low-dust environment, the vehicle does not need to use the air coarse filter 2 to reduce the intake resistance, thereby reducing fuel consumption and improving power. This solves the problem in the prior art that air generally needs to be pre-filtered through the air coarse filter before entering the air filter for fine filtration. The dust removal principle of the air coarse filter is generally cyclone centrifugal separation or adsorption and flushing through an oil-containing filter. The air coarse filter has a good pre-filtration effect in a dusty environment, but the pre-filtration effect is not obvious in a low-dust environment. On the contrary, due to the large resistance of the air coarse filter, there is a problem of increased fuel consumption and reduced power in a low-dust state.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, before determining whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, it also includes: obtaining the current dust concentration through the dust sensor 6, and converting the current dust concentration into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the controller 5 in real time.

[0058] In this embodiment, the current dust concentration is obtained by the dust sensor 6, and the current dust concentration is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the controller 5 in real time. The controller 5 then determines whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration. Based on the judgment result, the controller 5 regulates the opening and closing of the valve 4.

[0059] In this example, the current dust concentration is obtained through the dust sensor 6, and the current dust concentration is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the controller 5 in real time. The controller 5 determines whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration. If the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the controller 5 opens the first air outlet 11 and closes the second air outlet 12 by adjusting the valve 4, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the controller 5 opens the second air outlet 12 and closes the first air outlet 11 by adjusting the valve 4.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, when the first air outlet 11 is in an open state, the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, and the duration exceeds the set time, the controller 5 closes the first air outlet 11 and opens the second air outlet 12. If the duration is less than the set time, the first air outlet 11 remains in an open state.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the first air outlet 11 is in an open state, the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, and the duration exceeds the set time, the controller 5 closes the first air outlet 11 and opens the second air outlet 12. If the duration is less than the set time, the first air outlet 11 remains in an open state. Conversely, when the second air outlet 12 is in an open state, the current dust concentration is greater than the set dust concentration, and the duration exceeds the set time, the controller 5 closes the second air outlet 12 and opens the first air outlet 11. If the duration is less than the set time, the second air outlet 12 remains in an open state, thereby preventing a large amount of air that has not passed through the air coarse filter 2 from entering the air filter 3 when the dust concentration is greater than the set dust concentration, thereby ensuring the stability of the system.

[0062] In summary, when the air intake system is installed, the air outlet end of the air intake duct 1 is provided with a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 that can be opened and closed, the air inlet end of the air filter 3 is provided with a first air inlet 31 and a second air inlet 32, the second air inlet 32 ​​is connected to the second air outlet 12 through a pipeline, and the air coarse filter 2 is arranged on the pipeline between the first air outlet 11 and the first air inlet 31. It is judged whether the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration. If the current dust concentration is greater than or equal to the set dust concentration, the first air outlet 11 is opened and the second air outlet 12 is closed, so that the gas passes through the air coarse filter 2 and then enters the air filter 3. If the current dust concentration is less than the set dust concentration, the second air outlet 12 is opened and the first air outlet 11 is closed. In a low-dust environment, the vehicle does not need to use the air coarse filter 2 to reduce the intake resistance, thereby reducing fuel consumption and improving power. This solves the problem in the prior art that air generally needs to be pre-filtered through the air coarse filter before entering the air filter for fine filtration. The dust removal principle of the air coarse filter is generally cyclone centrifugal separation or adsorption and flushing through an oil-containing filter. The air coarse filter has a good pre-filtration effect in a dusty environment, but the pre-filtration effect is not obvious in a low-dust environment. On the contrary, due to the large resistance of the air coarse filter, there is a problem of increased fuel consumption and reduced power in a low-dust state.
