[0038] In addition, the description such as "first", "second" and the like in the present application is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0039] The specific reasons for causing the false oil leakage of the supercharger include:

[0040] 1. The negative pressure caused by the clogging of the air filter is more than 5.5kPa, which will cause the oil leakage of the supercharger.

[0041] 2. When the vehicle is in a mountainous area and drives down a steep slope, the engine is not accelerated and drives at a low speed for more than 15 minutes, the exhaust brake is used, which causes the exhaust back pressure to rise rapidly, the continuous and sufficient pressure in the intake pipe cannot be established, and when the engine is dragged in the opposite direction, the negative pressure is formed by the reverse air suction, which causes the oil leakage of the supercharger. When the idle time of the whole vehicle is more than 30 minutes, the risk of oil leakage of the supercharger will increase. It is found through actual vehicle monitoring that the idle time of many vehicles is even more than 2 hours, and the risk of oil leakage of the supercharger is higher.

[0042] 3. Poor oil return will cause turbocharger to leak oil: The turbocharger returns oil by relying on the weight of the oil from the turbocharger return pipe into the engine. If the return pipe is blocked, the turbocharger will not return oil, and the turbocharger will leak oil at the turbine end and the pressure end.

[0043] Among them, 1 and 3 can be avoided in engine design and maintenance, but 2 involves the reasons of driver operation, road conditions and work nature, and the vehicle will inevitably idle for a long time, so the false oil leakage of the turbocharger is the main reason for the compensation of the failure of the turbocharger, accounting for more than 30%.

[0044] In the related art, the turbocharger compressor has the technical problem of being prone to false oil leakage. The engine air supply system, the engine air supply control method and the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application can at least solve the technical problem of the turbocharger compressor being prone to false oil leakage to a certain extent.

[0045] The present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0046] The engine air supply system 100 includes an engine 110, a first air pipe assembly 120, a second air pipe assembly 130, a turbocharger 140, a gas storage tank 150, a first control valve 155 and a third control valve 165. The turbocharger 140 includes a turbine 141 and a compressor 142 connected, the first air pipe assembly 120 is communicated with the air inlet of the turbine 141 and the air outlet of the engine 110, and the second air pipe assembly 130 is communicated with the air outlet of the compressor 142 and the air inlet of the engine 110; the air inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150 are communicated with the second air pipe assembly 130; the first control valve 155 is installed on the second air pipe assembly 130 and is used to control the opening and closing of the air inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150; and the third control valve 165 is installed on the second air pipe assembly 130 and is located between the engine 110 and the turbine 141.

[0047] The turbocharger 140 includes the turbine 141 and the compressor 142, the air inlet of the turbine 141 and the air outlet of the engine 110 are communicated through the first air pipe assembly 120, so that the exhaust gas discharged from the air outlet of the engine 110 acts on the turbine 141, which can drive the turbine 141 to rotate, and the turbine 141 rotates to drive the compressor 142 to rotate, and the compressor 142 rotates to suck the external gas from the air inlet of the compressor 142 and compresses the gas and discharges the gas from the air outlet of the compressor 142. The specific structure and connection mode of the turbine 141 and the compressor 142 are various, which are not limited in the present application.

[0048] The gas discharged from the outlet of the compressor 142 enters into the second air pipe assembly 130, and then passes through the second air pipe assembly 130 and the air inlet of the engine 110 to enter into the engine 110, so that more fuel in the engine 110 can be fully combusted, and the power output of the engine 110 can be improved, the combustion efficiency of the fuel can be improved, and the emission of the incompletely combusted fuel can be reduced.

[0049] Since the inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150 are communicated with the second air pipe assembly 130, the gas discharged from the outlet of the compressor 142 can also enter into the gas storage tank 150 along the second air pipe assembly 130 and through the inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150 to be stored in the gas storage tank 150, and the gas in the gas storage tank 150 can also be discharged into the second air pipe assembly 130 through the inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150 to increase the boost pressure of the compressor 142 of the turbocharger 140, that is, to increase the gas pressure in the second air pipe assembly 130.

[0050] The first control valve 155 is installed on the second air pipe assembly 130, and the first control valve 155 controls the opening and closing of the inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150. When the first control valve 155 is opened, the boost gas discharged from the outlet of the compressor 142 can enter into the gas storage tank 150 along the second air pipe assembly 130 and be stored in the gas storage tank 150, and when the gas pressure in the gas storage tank 150 is greater than the gas pressure in the second air pipe assembly 130, the gas in the gas storage tank 150 can also be discharged into the second air pipe assembly 130. Conversely, when the first control valve 155 is closed, the boost gas discharged from the outlet of the compressor 142 cannot enter into the gas storage tank 150, and the gas stored in the gas storage tank 150 cannot be discharged into the second air pipe assembly 130.

[0051] The third control valve 165 is installed on the second air pipe assembly 130 and located between the engine 110 and the turbine 141, so that the excess exhaust gas discharged from the engine 110 can be discharged into the atmosphere through the third control valve 165. The third control valve 165 is in a normally closed state, for example, when the vehicle is in an idle or low-speed state, the third control valve 165 is closed, and when the vehicle is in a high-speed or high-load state, the third control valve 165 can be opened to allow part of the gas to be discharged into the atmosphere through the third control valve 165.

[0052] The engine air supply system 100 can reduce the energy discharged by the third control valve 165 by reducing the opening of the third control valve 165 when the vehicle is in a high-speed, high-load, or the like state, so that more energy is transmitted to the turbocharger 140, utilized by the turbocharger 140, improves the supercharging capacity of the turbocharger 140, and makes the turbocharger 140 in a high-speed, high-load, or the like state. The excess supercharging capacity of the turbocharger 140 charges the gas tank 150, so that the gas is stored in the gas tank 150. The engine air supply system 100 does not need to use the air compressor to charge the gas tank 150, but uses the excess supercharging capacity of the turbocharger 140 when the vehicle is in a high-speed, high-load, or the like state. The gas tank 150 can effectively reduce fuel consumption. After such design, when the supercharging pressure of the supercharger 142 of the turbocharger 140 is low, the supercharging pressure of the supercharger 142 can be increased to an appropriate pressure value by the way of the gas tank 150 to the second air pipe assembly 130, that is, the gas pressure of the second air pipe assembly 130 is increased, so as to change the condition that the gas pressure in the compressor 142 is lower than the oil pressure in the intermediate shell, so that the gas pressure in the supercharger compressor 142 is greater than or equal to the oil pressure in the intermediate shell, so as to avoid the false oil leakage of the compressor 142 to a certain extent, and reduce the probability of false oil leakage of the compressor 142.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first air pipe assembly 120 includes a first pipe 121 and a second pipe 122, the first pipe 121 is communicated with the gas outlet of the engine 110 and the gas inlet of the turbine 141, one end of the second pipe 122 is communicated with the first pipe 121, and the third control valve 165 is installed on the second pipe 122; the engine air supply system 100 further includes a second control valve 160, the second control valve 160 is installed on the first pipe 121, and the second pipe 122 is communicated with one end of the first pipe 121 between the second control valve 160 and the turbine 141.

[0054] One end of the first pipe 121 is connected to the gas outlet of the engine 110, and the other end of the first pipe 121 is connected to the gas inlet of the turbine 141. One end of the second pipe 122 is connected to the middle of the first pipe 121, and the other end of the second pipe 122 is connected to the atmosphere. The third control valve 165 is installed on the second pipe 122, and the end of the second pipe 122 connected to the first pipe 121 is located between the second control valve 160 and the turbine 141. The second control valve 160 is installed on the first gas pipe assembly 120, so that the gas discharged from the gas outlet of the engine 110 first passes through the second control valve 160 and then flows into the turbine 141. The second control valve 160 is in a normally open state, for example, when the vehicle is in a high-speed, high-load state, the second control valve 160 is fully open. The pre-turbine pressure of the turbine 141 can be adjusted by changing the opening degree of the second control valve 160. Specifically, the gas storage capacity of the gas storage tank 150 is limited, and its adjustment capacity for the supercharging pressure of the supercharger 142 is limited. When the vehicle is in a long idle state and the supercharger 142 has insufficient gas supply capacity, the pre-turbine pressure level of the turbine 142 can be increased by reducing the opening degree of the second control valve 160, so as to increase the supercharging pressure of the supercharger 142, thereby avoiding the problem of false oil leakage of the supercharger caused by long idle.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second gas pipe assembly 130 includes a third pipe 131 and a fourth pipe 132. The third pipe 131 is connected to the gas outlet of the supercharger 142 and the gas inlet of the engine 110. The fourth pipe 132 is connected to the third pipe 131 and the gas inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150. The first control valve 155 is installed on the fourth pipe 132 for controlling the opening and closing of the fourth pipe 132.

[0056] One end of the third pipe 131 is connected to the gas outlet of the supercharger 142, and the other end of the third pipe 131 is connected to the gas inlet of the engine 110. One end of the fourth pipe 132 is connected to the middle of the third pipe 131, and the other end of the fourth pipe 132 is connected to the gas inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150. The first control valve 155 is installed on the fourth pipe 132 for controlling the opening and closing of the fourth pipe 132, thereby indirectly controlling the opening and closing of the gas inlet and outlet of the gas storage tank 150. Specifically, when the first control valve 155 is closed, the gas storage tank 150 cannot intake or discharge gas, and when the first control valve 155 is open, the gas storage tank 150 can intake or discharge gas.

[0057] In some embodiments, the engine gas supply system 100 further includes an air control valve 170 connected to the gas storage tank 150 and the third control valve 165 for controlling the opening degree of the third control valve 165.

[0058] In some embodiments, the engine air supply system 100 further comprises an air control valve 170, which is in communication with the air tank 150, the second control valve 160 and the third control valve 165, and is used to control the opening degree of the second control valve 160 and the third control valve 165.

[0059] The second control valve 160 and the third control valve 165 are both pneumatic valves. The air control valve 170, also known as an AVU valve, has one air inlet and two air outlets. The air inlet is in communication with the air tank 150, and the air tank 150 supplies air to the air control valve 170. The two air outlets are in communication with the second control valve 160 and the third control valve 165, respectively. The air control valve 170 controls the opening degree of the second control valve 160 by controlling the gas pressure in the second control valve 160, and similarly, the air control valve 170 controls the opening degree of the third control valve 165 by controlling the gas pressure in the third control valve 165. The temperature of the engine 110 is relatively high, and controlling the opening degree of the second control valve 160 and the third control valve 165 by the air control valve 170 helps to ensure the accuracy of the adjustment of the second control valve 160 and the third control valve 165.

[0060] In some embodiments, the engine air supply system 100 further comprises an air dryer 180, which is installed on the fourth pipe 132 and located between the first control valve 155 and the air tank 150.

[0061] The air dryer 180 is installed on the fourth pipe 132 to dry the gas flowing through the fourth pipe 132 and remove the water in the air to prevent corrosion of the engine 110, the air tank 150, etc. The structure and installation method of the air dryer 180 are various and known to those skilled in the art, and are not described here. When the air pressure of the air tank 150 exceeds a threshold value, the excess high-pressure gas in the air tank 150 can be discharged into the atmosphere through the unloading hole of the air dryer 180.

[0062] In some embodiments, the engine air supply system 100 further comprises an intercooler 175, which is installed on the third pipe 131 and located between the air compressor 142 and the fourth pipe 132.

[0063] The intercooler 175 is installed on the third pipe 131 and located between the air compressor 142 and the fourth pipe 132, and can cool the gas discharged from the air outlet of the air compressor 142. The cooled gas then enters the engine 110 or the air tank 150. By reducing the intake temperature, the charging efficiency of the engine 110 can be improved, thereby improving the power performance of the engine 110, and helping to reduce the thermal load of the air tank 150, the air dryer 180, etc., and prolong the service life.

[0064] In some embodiments, the engine air supply system 100 further comprises a first pressure sensor 185, a second pressure sensor 190 and a controller 195. The first pressure sensor 185 is installed on the air tank 150 to detect the air pressure of the air tank 150. The second pressure sensor 190 is installed on the third pipe 131 along the direction of the air flow in the third pipe 131, and the intercooler 175 is located in front of the second pressure sensor 190 to detect the air pressure of the third pipe 131. The controller 195 is electrically connected to the first pressure sensor 185, the second pressure sensor 190, the air control valve 170 and the first control valve 155.

[0065] In this way, the first pressure sensor 185, the second pressure sensor 190, the air control valve 170 and the first control valve 155 are electrically connected to the controller 195. The controller 195 can control the air control valve 170 to act based on the pressure values detected by the first pressure sensor 185 and the second pressure sensor 190, so as to control the opening degree of the second control valve 160 and the third control valve 165, or control the first control valve 155 to act, so that the first control valve 155 is opened or closed.

[0066] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present application also provide an engine air supply control method, which comprises: in response to a low pressure signal of the air tank 150, judging whether the engine 110 is in a medium-high load working condition, and if so, controlling the first control valve 155 to be opened and controlling the opening degree of the third control valve 165 to be reduced to a set value until the pressure of the air tank 150 reaches a set pressure value.

[0067] When the engine 110 is in the medium-high load working condition, the third control valve 165 is opened, so that part of the air is discharged to the atmosphere through the third control valve 165. If the engine 110 is in the medium-high load working condition and the air pressure in the air tank 150 is low, the first control valve 155 can be controlled to be opened, so that the fourth pipe 132 forms a passage, and the opening degree of the third control valve 162 is controlled to be reduced to a set value, thereby reducing the air discharged by the third control valve 165, so that more air is transmitted to the turbocharger 140 and utilized by the turbocharger 140, improving the supercharging capacity of the turbocharger 140, so that the excess supercharged air in the third pipe 131 flows into the air tank 150 and is stored, thereby increasing the pressure of the air tank 150, so that the pressure value of the air tank 150 reaches the set pressure value. When the pressure value in the air tank 150 reaches the set value, the first control valve 155 is controlled to act, so that the fifth pipe 133 forms an open circuit, so that air no longer enters the air tank 150, and the opening degree of the third control valve 165 is controlled to return to the position before adjustment.

[0068] The engine 110 can be determined to be in a high load condition by the torque, the rotation speed and the pre-intercooler pressure of the engine 110. In some embodiments, the engine 110 is in a high load condition when the rotation speed of the engine 110 is greater than 1300 rpm, the torque of the engine 110 is greater than 1500 N.M and the pre-intercooler pressure is greater than 2.5 bar.

[0069] In some embodiments, when the controller 195 determines that the pressure value of the first pressure sensor 185 is less than the set pressure value and the engine 110 is in a high load condition, the controller 195 controls the first control valve 155 to open and controls the opening of the third control valve 165 to decrease to a set value to charge the gas tank 150; when the pressure of the gas tank 150 reaches the set pressure value, i.e., the pressure value detected by the first pressure sensor 185 reaches the set pressure value, the controller 195 controls the first control valve 155 to close and controls the third control valve 165 to return to the opening before adjustment.

[0070] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides an engine air supply control method, comprising: in response to an idle condition signal of an engine 110, obtaining an idle time t of the engine 110; when the idle time t satisfies t1≤t≤t2, controlling a first control valve 155 to open until the boost pressure of a turbo 141 is greater than a set pressure value; and when the idle time t satisfies t2

[0071] When the vehicle idles for a long time, the gas pressure in the third pipe 131 can be less than the pressure of the intermediate casing of the compressor 142 of the supercharger, and the compressor 142 is prone to false oil leakage. In these embodiments, the idle time of the engine 110 is obtained, and different control measures are taken according to different idle times. Specifically, when the idle time t satisfies t1≤t≤t2, the first control valve 155 is controlled to act, so that the high-pressure gas in the gas tank 150 flows into the third pipe 131, the gas pressure in the third pipe 131 is increased, the supercharging pressure of the supercharger 142 is greater than the set pressure value, the condition that the gas pressure in the compressor 142 of the supercharger is lower than the oil pressure in the intermediate casing is changed, and the gas pressure in the compressor 142 is greater than or equal to the oil pressure in the intermediate casing, thereby to some extent avoiding the false oil leakage of the compressor 142 and reducing the probability of false oil leakage of the compressor 142. Specifically, as the gas tank 150 is replenished, the gas pressure in the gas tank 150 gradually decreases, and the gas replenishment capacity of the gas tank 150 decreases, so when the idle time t satisfies t2

[0072] Whether the engine 110 is idling can be determined by the speed and torque of the engine 110. In some embodiments, when the speed of the engine 110 is 600 rpm and the torque is 0, the engine 110 is in an idling condition. In some embodiments, the set pressure value is 5 kPa. It should be noted that when the supercharging pressure is greater than the set pressure value, the first control valve 155 can be controlled to be closed, so that the gas tank 150 no longer discharges, and the second control valve 160 is controlled to return to the opening degree before adjustment.

[0073] The specific values of t1 and t2 are not limited in the present application, and the user can design according to the specific situation. In some embodiments, t1 is 30 min and t2 is 60 min.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the controller 195 detects that the engine 110 is in an idle state and the idle time t satisfies t1≤t≤t2, the controller 195 controls the first control valve 155 to open, and controls the first control valve 155 to close when the controller 195 detects that the detected value of the second pressure sensor 190 is greater than the set pressure value. When the controller 195 detects that the engine 110 is in an idle state and the idle time t satisfies t2

[0075] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiments of the present application also provide an engine air supply control method, comprising: in response to a braking state signal of an engine 110, obtaining a braking time T of the engine 110, and when the braking time T satisfies T1≤T≤T2, controlling a first control valve 155 to open until the boost pressure of a turbine 141 is greater than a set pressure value; and when the braking time T satisfies T2≤T, controlling the opening degree of a second control valve 160 to decrease until the boost pressure of the turbine 141 is greater than the set pressure value.

[0076] When the vehicle brakes for a long time, the gas pressure in the third pipe 131 can be less than the pressure of the intermediate shell of the compressor 142 of the supercharger, and the compressor 142 is prone to false oil leakage. In these embodiments, the braking time of the engine 110 is obtained, and different control measures are taken according to the braking time. Specifically, when the braking time T satisfies T1≤T≤T2, the first control valve 155 is controlled to act, so that the gas outlet of the gas tank 150 is opened, and the high-pressure gas in the gas tank 150 flows into the third pipe 131, thereby increasing the gas pressure in the third pipe 131 and increasing the supercharging pressure of the supercharger 142 to be greater than the set pressure value, changing the condition that the gas pressure in the supercharger compressor 142 is less than the oil pressure in the intermediate shell, so that the gas pressure in the supercharger compressor 142 is greater than or equal to the oil pressure in the intermediate shell, thereby avoiding false oil leakage of the compressor 142 to some extent and reducing the probability of false oil leakage of the compressor 142. Specifically, as the gas tank 150 is replenished, the gas pressure in the gas tank 150 gradually decreases, and the gas tank 150 is replenished to reduce the gas pressure in the gas tank 150. Therefore, when the braking time T satisfies T2

[0077] Whether the engine 110 is in a braking condition can be determined by the vehicle speed, the braking mode, the idle speed, etc. In some embodiments, when the vehicle speed is greater than 0, the engine 110 is in a braking mode, the engine 110 is in an idle speed, and the torque of the engine 110 is 0, the engine 110 is in a braking condition.

[0078] The specific values of T1 and T2 are not limited in the present application, and the user can design according to the specific situation. In some embodiments, T1 is 15 min, and T2 is 30 min.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the controller 195 detects that the engine 110 is in the braking mode and the braking time T satisfies T1≤T≤T2, the controller 195 controls the first control valve 155 to open, and controls the first control valve 155 to close when the controller 195 detects that the detection value of the second pressure sensor 190 is greater than the set pressure value. When the controller 195 detects that the engine 110 is in the braking mode and the braking time T satisfies T2
