Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engine component design, and particularly relates to a closed engine crankcase ventilation system, a vehicle and a control method. Background Art
[0002] When the engine is running, some combustible mixture and exhaust gas after combustion will leak into the crankcase through the piston rings. The gases that enter the crankcase contain unburned fuel, water vapor, exhaust gas, etc. If these gases are not discharged in time, it will cause the pressure in the crankcase to increase, the engine oil to deteriorate, affect the normal operation of the engine, and may even cause damage to sealing components such as oil seals and gaskets, resulting in oil leakage. Therefore, forced ventilation of the crankcase is required.
[0003] The existing engine crankcase ventilation systems are divided into two types. One is an open crankcase ventilation system. This system separates oil and gas through an oil-gas separator. The separated oil returns to the engine oil pan, and the separated air is directly discharged into the atmosphere. Because the separation efficiency of the oil-gas separator in this open crankcase ventilation system is limited, there is still a small amount of oil and gas in the air discharged into the atmosphere. Long-term use will cause the engine oil volume to decrease, affect engine lubrication, increase the user's vehicle use cost, and the oil and gas discharged into the atmosphere will also pollute the environment. The other is a closed crankcase ventilation system. This system separates oil and gas through an oil-gas separator. The separated oil returns to the engine oil pan, and the separated air is connected to the intake pipe in front of the supercharger through a pipeline to participate in the combustion of the engine. In this structure, the oil-gas separator usually takes oil and gas from the engine cylinder head cover or from the cylinder block. Since there is only one set of separators, the oil and gas cannot be separated thoroughly. Long-term use will cause the oil and gas to accumulate in the supercharger and its pipelines, resulting in false oil leakage of the supercharger, and the cooling performance of the contaminated intercooler will also be greatly reduced. The crankcase ventilation pipeline arranged on the cylinder head cover is easy to freeze and block in a low-temperature environment, affecting its use.
[0004] In the prior art, such as a tunable, two-stage oil-gas separation diesel engine crankcase closed-loop system with the patent number CN109026280A, it has a primary oil-gas separator arranged on the cylinder head; the primary oil-gas separator is connected to the secondary oil-gas separator through a gas path; the secondary oil-gas separator has an intake pipe connected to the supercharger; the front end of the intake pipe is connected to the supercharger, and a tapered pipe is arranged at the rear end; an outer sleeve concentric with it is sleeved outside the intake pipe and the tapered pipe; the front end opening of the outer sleeve is sealed by a front partition, and the rear end opening is sealed by a rear partition; a middle partition is also arranged between the front partition and the rear partition; the crankcase ventilation pipe welded on the outer sleeve communicates with the cavity between the front partition and the middle partition. The present invention greatly saves the space for diesel engine layout and overcomes the disadvantages of the double-separation oil-gas separator being bulky and occupying too much volume.
[0005] However, the two-stage oil-gas separator in the existing solution is connected in series, and it is difficult to efficiently separate oil and gas according to the oil-gas separation requirements in complex environments, such as when the pipeline freezes in a low-temperature environment, resulting in a problem of reduced separation effect.

By separating oil and gas through two parallel oil - gas separators, it is possible to judge the load condition of the vehicle according to the current throttle opening, and adjust the operating states of the first oil - gas separator 2 and the second oil - gas separator 3 according to the load condition of the vehicle.

[0073] In this embodiment, before starting the first oil-gas separator 2, the following steps are further included: obtaining the current ambient temperature and determining whether the current ambient temperature is lower than the pipeline icing temperature. If the current ambient temperature is lower than or equal to the pipeline icing temperature, the heater 5 is started synchronously when starting the first oil-gas separator 2. If the current ambient temperature is higher than the pipeline icing temperature, the heater 5 remains off when starting the first oil-gas separator 2. This ensures full combustion of the engine and prevents icing of the engine intake pipe.
