[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0027] For ease of description, some nouns or terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below:

[0028] Intercooler: A device used to cool compressed air, usually used in turbocharged engines. It improves engine performance and efficiency by reducing the temperature of the compressed air and increasing the intake density.

[0029] Flow uniformity: Flow uniformity refers to the uniformity of fluid distribution during the flow process. Good flow uniformity can avoid local flow velocities that are too high or too low, improve system efficiency, and reduce flow resistance and energy loss.

[0030] Guide plate: A structural component used to guide fluid flow, usually installed in heat exchangers, pipelines and other equipment. It optimizes the flow state of the fluid, reduces eddy currents and resistance, and improves the efficiency and performance of the equipment.

[0031] As described in the background technology, the prior art intercooler air intake scheme is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the outside air enters the compressor after passing through the air filter. At this time, the air temperature rises (high-temperature air) and needs to be cooled through the intercooler. Therefore, the high-temperature air needs to pass through the front cover of the intercooler and then enter the intercooler core for cooling. Finally, it enters the cylinder through the intake pipe, providing low-temperature and high-density air for the engine to meet the engine's intake needs. However, the intercooler in the prior art has poor cooling effect due to eddy currents or backflow phenomena, which affects the performance of the engine. In order to solve this technical problem, the embodiments of the present application provide an intercooler, an intercooler control method, an intercooler control device and a vehicle.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] In this embodiment, an intercooler is provided, which includes an intercooler front cover, an intercooler core, and an intercooler rear cover connected in sequence. The intercooler front cover is used to transmit pressurized air to the intercooler core for cooling. The intercooler rear cover is used to output the air cooled by the intercooler core. The cooling pipeline of the intercooler core includes a first cooling pipeline and a second cooling pipeline. Figure 2 As shown, the front cover of the intercooler includes a receiving cavity, a flow control component and an air inlet 10.

[0034] The accommodating cavity includes a first air chamber 20 and a second air chamber 30, both of which are connected to the air inlet 10. The outlet of the first air chamber 20 is connected to the plurality of first cooling pipes, and the outlet of the second air chamber 30 is connected to the plurality of second cooling pipes.

[0035] The above-mentioned flow control component includes a blocking member 40 and a driving member 50. The above-mentioned blocking member 40 is located at the above-mentioned air inlet 10. The above-mentioned blocking member 40 is used to divert the gas in the above-mentioned air inlet 10 to the above-mentioned first air chamber 20 and the above-mentioned second air chamber 30. The above-mentioned driving member 50 is used to drive the above-mentioned blocking member 40 to move to adjust the size of the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member 40 and the inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet 10.

[0036] In the above-mentioned intercooler, the intercooler is used to cool the compressed air and then supply it to the engine. A blocking member is set at the air inlet of the front end cover of the intercooler to divert the high-temperature air output by the outlet pipe of the air compressor to the first air chamber and the second air chamber connected to the air inlet. If vortex or backflow occurs in the first air chamber or the second air chamber, resulting in uneven gas distribution, it will cause unbalanced load on the cooling pipeline connected to the first air chamber or the second air chamber, thereby causing poor cooling effect of the intercooler on the engine intake and affecting engine performance. The blocking member can be driven to move by a driving member to adjust the size of the gap between the blocking member and the inner wall of the air inlet to adjust the flow distribution of the first air chamber and the second air chamber, so that the high-temperature gas is evenly distributed in the first air chamber and the second air chamber, avoiding vortex or backflow, improving the cooling effect of the intercooler on the engine intake, ensuring engine performance, and solving the problem of poor cooling effect of the intercooler due to vortex or backflow in the prior art.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the blocking member 40 is a valve plate, and the driving member 50 includes a first motor 51 and a transmission shaft 52. The first motor 51 is connected to the blocking member 40 through the transmission shaft 52, and the first motor 51 drives the valve plate to rotate through the transmission shaft 52. Since the area of the valve plate above the rotating shaft is smaller than the area of the valve plate below the rotating shaft, when the valve plate rotates, the lower part of the valve plate is close to the inner wall of the air inlet on one side, and the minimum distance between the valve plate and the inner wall on this side is reduced, that is, the size of the gap between the blocking member and the inner wall on this side is reduced, and the resistance is increased, thereby reducing the gas flow of the air chamber near this side, and increasing the size of the gap between the blocking member and the inner wall on the other side, and the resistance is increased, thereby reducing the gas flow of the air chamber near the other side.

[0038] In order to ensure a balanced distribution of gas flow, in an optional embodiment, the intercooler core further comprises:

[0039] a first temperature sensor, located at the outlet of the first cooling pipeline;

[0040] The second temperature sensor is located at the outlet of the second cooling pipeline.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the first temperature sensor is located at the outlet of the above-mentioned first cooling pipeline, and is used to detect the gas temperature after the high-temperature air input into the first cooling pipeline of the first air chamber is cooled. The second temperature sensor is located at the outlet of the above-mentioned second cooling pipeline, and is used to detect the gas temperature after the high-temperature air input into the second cooling pipeline of the second air chamber is cooled. The detected temperatures of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are compared. If the difference is large, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the air chamber corresponding to the temperature sensor with a high temperature is too high, resulting in poor cooling effect, and the gas flow rate of the air chamber corresponding to the temperature sensor with a low temperature is too low, and the load of the cooling pipeline corresponding to the air chamber is too low. The flow distribution of the first air chamber and the second air chamber can be adjusted by the flow control component to ensure balanced gas flow distribution and improve the cooling effect of the intercooler.

[0042] Of course, there can be multiple first cooling pipes and multiple second cooling pipes. The above-mentioned first cooling pipes correspond one-to-one to the above-mentioned first temperature sensors, and the above-mentioned second cooling pipes correspond one-to-one to the above-mentioned second temperature sensors. The detection temperatures of multiple first temperature sensors can be averaged, the detection temperatures of multiple second temperature sensors can be averaged, and the two temperature averages can be compared to improve accuracy.

[0043] In order to further ensure uniform gas distribution on the front cover of the intercooler, in an optional embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the front end cover of the intercooler further includes:

[0044] The deflector 60 is located in the accommodating cavity of the front end cover of the intercooler to separate the accommodating cavity of the front end cover of the intercooler into the first air chamber 20 and the second air chamber 30. The deflector 60 includes a plurality of protrusions 61. The height of the protrusion 61 is proportional to the corresponding target distance. The target distance is the minimum distance between the protrusion 61 and the air inlet 10. The maximum cross-section of the protrusion 61 is not perpendicular to the inner wall of the outlet of the front end cover of the intercooler. The inner wall of the outlet is the inner wall where the outlet of the accommodating cavity is located.

[0045] In the above embodiment, a structure such as a convex shape is arranged from low to high on the side of the guide plate away from the air inlet, and the gas on the guide plate is secondary guided to further improve the flow uniformity, and the secondary guide device is composed of 1 to 8 convex ribs, and gradually increases in height from 1 to 8, which is beneficial to reducing the intake resistance. The secondary guide arrangement can also reduce flow losses. In addition, the maximum cross-section of the above-mentioned protrusion is not perpendicular to the inner wall of the outlet of the front end cover of the above-mentioned intercooler, that is, the above-mentioned protrusion is arranged at an angle to prevent the gas from gathering in the middle of the accommodating cavity, and guide the gas to the two ends of the accommodating cavity, especially the corners, to further improve the uniformity of the gas flow distribution.

[0046] In order to ensure the flow balance of the two air inlets, in an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, there are two air inlets 10, the first air chambers 20 correspond one-to-one to the air inlets 10, and the second air chambers 30 correspond one-to-one to the air inlets 10. The two first air chambers 20 have the same volume and shape, and the two second air chambers 30 have the same volume and shape. The intercooler front cover also includes:

[0047] The connecting pipe 70 has one end connected to one of the air inlets 10 , and the other end connected to the other of the air inlets 10 .

[0048] In the above embodiment, the front cover of the intercooler is divided into two, and the air intake end covers on the left and right sides are symmetrical, and the gas holding capacity is the same. A connecting pipe is set between the two air inlets. When the flow rate of the air intake on one side is small, air can be supplemented from the air intake on the other side through the pipe to ensure that the flow rate of the two air inlets is balanced, so that the load of each cooling pipe in the core of the intercooler is balanced, and the cooling effect is improved. The secondary guide structure is symmetrically distributed on the air intake end covers on the left and right sides.

[0049] In order to ensure the flow balance of the two air inlets, in an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the front end cover of the intercooler further includes:

[0050] Two flow sensors, respectively located at the two air inlets 10;

[0051] The control valve 80 is located on the connecting pipeline and is used to control the on-off of the connecting pipeline.

[0052] In the above embodiment, two flow sensors are respectively located at the two above-mentioned air inlets to detect the flow rates of the two air inlets. When there is an obvious difference in the flow rates of the two air inlets, that is, the flow rate difference between the two air inlets is greater than the flow rate threshold, the control valve is opened to control the conduction of the above-mentioned connecting pipeline. Specifically, the above-mentioned control valve 80 includes a valve 81 and a second motor 82. When the flow rate difference between the two air inlets is greater than the flow rate threshold, the second motor 82 is controlled to drive the valve 81 to open.

[0053] The method embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Taking running on a mobile terminal as an example, Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a hardware structure block diagram of a mobile terminal for a method for controlling an intercooler according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the mobile terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1Only one is shown) a processor 102 (the processor 102 may include but is not limited to a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA and other processing devices) and a memory 104 for storing data, wherein the mobile terminal may also include a transmission device 106 and an input and output device 108 for communication functions. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 3 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal. Figure 3 More or fewer components than shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0054] Memory 104 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, such as the computer program corresponding to the intercooler control method in the embodiment of the present invention. Processor 102 executes the computer programs stored in memory 104 to execute various functional applications and data processing, thereby implementing the aforementioned method. Memory 104 may include high-speed random access memory (RAM) and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some examples, memory 104 may further include memory remote from processor 102, which can be connected to the mobile terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof. Transmission device 106 is used to receive or transmit data via a network. Specific examples of such networks may include a wireless network provided by the mobile terminal's telecommunications provider. In one example, transmission device 106 includes a network interface controller (NIC), which can be connected to other network devices via a base station to enable communication with the Internet. In one example, the transmission device 106 may be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0055] In this embodiment, a method for controlling an intercooler running on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0056] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling an intercooler according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S201: When a vortex or backflow occurs in the first air chamber, controlling the driving member to drive the blocking member to move so as to reduce a gap between the blocking member and a first inner wall of the air inlet, the first inner wall being the inner wall of the air inlet close to the first air chamber;

[0058] Specifically, a pressure sensor is provided in the first air chamber. If the reading of the pressure sensor fluctuates greatly, it indicates that eddy current or backflow occurs in the first air chamber.

[0059] Step S202, when vortex or backflow occurs in the second air chamber, control the above-mentioned driving member to drive the above-mentioned blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the second inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet, and the above-mentioned second inner wall is the inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet close to the above-mentioned second air chamber.

[0060] Specifically, a pressure sensor is provided in the second air chamber. If the reading of the pressure sensor fluctuates greatly, it indicates that eddy current or backflow occurs in the second air chamber.

[0061] In the control method of the above-mentioned intercooler, if vortex or backflow appears in the first air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the first air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the first inner wall of the air inlet, and the resistance increases, so as to reduce the flow rate of the first air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow, and improve the uniformity of gas distribution in the first air chamber. Similarly, if vortex or backflow appears in the second air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the second air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the second inner wall of the air inlet, and the resistance increases, so as to reduce the flow rate of the second air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow, and improve the uniformity of gas distribution in the second air chamber, thereby solving the problem of poor cooling effect of the intercooler in the prior art due to vortex or backflow.

[0062] To ensure balanced gas flow distribution, in an optional embodiment, the intercooler core further includes a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor, the first temperature sensor being located at the outlet of the first cooling pipeline, and the second temperature sensor being located at the outlet of the second cooling pipeline. The method further includes:

[0063] Step S301, obtaining the detected temperature of the first temperature sensor to obtain a first temperature, and obtaining the detected temperature of the second temperature sensor to obtain a second temperature;

[0064] Step S302: When the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold, controlling the driving member to drive the blocking member to reduce a gap between the blocking member and the first inner wall of the air inlet;

[0065] Step S303: When the difference between the second temperature and the first temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, controlling the driving member to drive the blocking member to reduce the gap between the blocking member and the second inner wall of the air inlet;

[0066] Step S304 : When the absolute value of the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is smaller than the temperature threshold, controlling the position of the blocking member to remain unchanged.

[0067] In the above embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the outside air enters the compressor after passing through the air filter. At this time, the air temperature rises (high-temperature air) and needs to be cooled by the intercooler. Therefore, the high-temperature air needs to pass through the front cover of the intercooler and then enter the intercooler core for cooling. Finally, it enters the cylinder through the intake pipe, providing low-temperature and high-density air for the engine to meet the engine's intake needs. A first temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the first cooling pipe of the intercooler core, and a second temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the second cooling pipe of the intercooler core. The difference in detected temperature between the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor is too large, indicating that the air flow of the air chamber corresponding to the high-temperature temperature sensor is too high, resulting in poor cooling effect. The air flow of the air chamber corresponding to the low-temperature temperature sensor is too low, and the load of the cooling pipe corresponding to the air chamber is too low. The flow distribution of the two air chambers of the front cover of the intercooler is adjusted by the automatic flow distribution actuator (flow control component) to improve the cooling effect. Specifically, Figure 6As shown, the detection temperature of the first temperature sensor is the first temperature. Since the first cooling pipeline is located above the second cooling pipeline, the first temperature can also be called the upper temperature. The detection temperature of the second temperature sensor is the second temperature. Since the first cooling pipeline is located above the second cooling pipeline, the first temperature can also be called the lower temperature. The difference between the above-mentioned first temperature and the above-mentioned second temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, indicating that the gas flow in the first air chamber is too much and the cooling effect is poor. The flow is adjusted by the flow regulating mechanism, that is, the above-mentioned driving member drives the above-mentioned blocking member to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the above-mentioned first inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet to reduce the flow of the first air chamber, that is, the upper temperature is high, and the flow (upper flow) of the first air chamber located at the upper part is reduced, and the flow of the second air chamber located at the lower part is increased. The flow rate of the two air chambers (lower flow rate), the difference between the above-mentioned first temperature and the above-mentioned second temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, indicating that the gas flow rate of the second air chamber is too much and the cooling effect is poor. The flow rate is adjusted by the flow regulating mechanism, that is, the above-mentioned driving member is controlled to drive the above-mentioned blocking member to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the above-mentioned second inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet to reduce the flow rate of the second air chamber, that is, the lower temperature is high, the flow rate of the first air chamber located at the upper part (upper flow rate) is increased, and the flow rate of the second air chamber located at the lower part (lower flow rate) is reduced until the absolute value of the difference between the above-mentioned first temperature and the above-mentioned second temperature is less than the temperature threshold (X degrees Celsius), indicating that the gas cooling effects of the first air chamber and the second air chamber are equivalent, and there is no problem of poor cooling effect caused by uneven flow distribution, and it can remain unchanged.

[0068] In order to ensure the flow balance of the two air inlets, in an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, there are two air inlets 10, the first air chambers 20 correspond to the air inlets 10 one-to-one, the second air chambers 30 correspond to the air inlets 10 one-to-one, the two first air chambers 20 have the same volume and shape, the two second air chambers 30 have the same volume and shape, the front end cover further includes a connecting pipe 70, two flow sensors and a control valve 80, one end of the connecting pipe 70 is connected to one of the air inlets 10, and the other end of the connecting pipe 70 is connected to the other air inlet 10, the two flow sensors are respectively located at the two air inlets 10, and the control valve 80 is located on the connecting pipe 70, and the method further includes:

[0071] In the above embodiment, two flow sensors are respectively located at the two above-mentioned air inlets to detect the flow rates of the two air inlets. When there is an obvious difference in the flow rates of the two air inlets, that is, the flow difference between the two air inlets is greater than the flow threshold, the control valve opens to control the conduction of the above-mentioned connecting pipeline. Specifically, the above-mentioned control valve 80 includes a valve 81 and a second motor 82. When the flow difference between the two air inlets is greater than the flow threshold, the second motor 82 is controlled to drive the valve 81 to open.

[0072] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0073] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control device for an intercooler. It should be noted that the control device for the intercooler in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute the control method for the intercooler provided in the embodiment of the present application. The device is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred implementation methods, and the details that have been explained will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, implementation in hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and conceivable.

[0074] The following introduces the control device of the intercooler provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0075] Figure 7 : is a structural block diagram of the control device of the intercooler according to the embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the device includes:

[0076] The first control unit 100 is configured to control the driving member to drive the blocking member to move when a vortex or backflow occurs in the first air chamber, so as to reduce a gap between the blocking member and a first inner wall of the air inlet, where the first inner wall is an inner wall of the air inlet adjacent to the first air chamber;

[0077] Specifically, a pressure sensor is provided in the first air chamber. If the reading of the pressure sensor fluctuates greatly, it indicates that eddy current or backflow occurs in the first air chamber.

[0078] The second control unit 200 is used to control the above-mentioned driving member to drive the above-mentioned blocking member to move when vortex or backflow occurs in the second air chamber, so as to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the second inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet, and the above-mentioned second inner wall is the inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet close to the second air chamber.

[0079] Specifically, a pressure sensor is provided in the second air chamber. If the reading of the pressure sensor fluctuates greatly, it indicates that eddy current or backflow occurs in the second air chamber.

[0080] In the control device of the above-mentioned intercooler, if vortex or backflow appears in the first air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the first air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the first inner wall of the air inlet. The resistance increases, which can reduce the flow rate of the first air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow and improve the uniformity of gas distribution in the first air chamber. Similarly, if vortex or backflow appears in the second air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the second air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the second inner wall of the air inlet. The resistance increases to reduce the flow rate of the second air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow and improve the uniformity of gas distribution in the second air chamber, thereby solving the problem of poor cooling effect of the intercooler in the prior art due to vortex or backflow.

[0081] In order to ensure balanced gas flow distribution, in an optional embodiment, the intercooler core further includes a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor, the first temperature sensor being located at the outlet of the first cooling pipeline, and the second temperature sensor being located at the outlet of the second cooling pipeline. The device further includes:

[0082] a first acquiring unit, configured to acquire the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor to obtain a first temperature, and acquire the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor to obtain a second temperature;

[0083] a third control unit, configured to control the driving member to drive the blocking member to reduce a gap between the blocking member and the first inner wall of the air inlet when the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold;

[0084] a fourth control unit, configured to control the driving member to drive the blocking member to reduce a gap between the blocking member and the second inner wall of the air inlet when the difference between the second temperature and the first temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold;

[0085] The fifth control unit is configured to control the position of the blocking member to remain unchanged when the absolute value of the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is less than a temperature threshold.

[0086] In the above embodiment, if Figure 5As shown, the outside air enters the compressor after passing through the air filter. At this time, the air temperature rises (high-temperature air) and needs to be cooled by the intercooler. Therefore, the high-temperature air needs to pass through the front cover of the intercooler and then enter the intercooler core for cooling. Finally, it enters the cylinder through the intake pipe, providing low-temperature and high-density air for the engine to meet the engine's intake needs. A first temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the first cooling pipe of the intercooler core, and a second temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the second cooling pipe of the intercooler core. The difference in detected temperature between the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor is too large, indicating that the air flow of the air chamber corresponding to the high-temperature temperature sensor is too high, resulting in poor cooling effect. The air flow of the air chamber corresponding to the low-temperature temperature sensor is too low, and the load of the cooling pipe corresponding to the air chamber is too low. The flow distribution of the two air chambers of the front cover of the intercooler is adjusted by the automatic flow distribution actuator (flow control component) to improve the cooling effect. Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the detection temperature of the first temperature sensor is the first temperature. Since the first cooling pipeline is located above the second cooling pipeline, the first temperature can also be called the upper temperature. The detection temperature of the second temperature sensor is the second temperature. Since the first cooling pipeline is located above the second cooling pipeline, the first temperature can also be called the lower temperature. The difference between the above-mentioned first temperature and the above-mentioned second temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, indicating that the gas flow in the first air chamber is too much and the cooling effect is poor. The flow is adjusted by the flow regulating mechanism, that is, the above-mentioned driving member drives the above-mentioned blocking member to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the above-mentioned first inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet to reduce the flow of the first air chamber, that is, the upper temperature is high, and the flow (upper flow) of the first air chamber located at the upper part is reduced, and the flow of the second air chamber located at the lower part is increased. The flow rate of the two air chambers (lower flow rate), the difference between the above-mentioned first temperature and the above-mentioned second temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, indicating that the gas flow rate of the second air chamber is too much and the cooling effect is poor. The flow rate is adjusted by the flow regulating mechanism, that is, the above-mentioned driving member is controlled to drive the above-mentioned blocking member to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the above-mentioned second inner wall of the above-mentioned air inlet to reduce the flow rate of the second air chamber, that is, the lower temperature is high, the flow rate of the first air chamber located at the upper part (upper flow rate) is increased, and the flow rate of the second air chamber located at the lower part (lower flow rate) is reduced until the absolute value of the difference between the above-mentioned first temperature and the above-mentioned second temperature is less than the temperature threshold (X degrees Celsius), indicating that the gas cooling effects of the first air chamber and the second air chamber are equivalent, and there is no problem of poor cooling effect caused by uneven flow distribution, and it can remain unchanged.

[0087] In order to ensure the flow balance of the two air inlets, in an optional embodiment, Figure 2As shown, there are two air inlets 10, the first air chambers 20 correspond to the air inlets 10 one-to-one, the second air chambers 30 correspond to the air inlets 10 one-to-one, the two first air chambers 20 have the same volume and shape, the two second air chambers 30 have the same volume and shape, the front end cover further includes a connecting pipe 70, two flow sensors and a control valve 80, one end of the connecting pipe 70 is connected to one of the air inlets 10, and the other end of the connecting pipe 70 is connected to the other air inlet 10, the two flow sensors are respectively located at the two air inlets 10, the control valve 80 is located on the connecting pipe 70, and the device further includes:

[0088] A second acquiring unit is configured to acquire the flow rates detected by the two flow sensors to obtain a first flow rate and a second flow rate;

[0089] The sixth control unit is configured to control the control valve to open when the absolute value of the difference between the first flow rate and the second flow rate is greater than a flow rate threshold.

[0090] In the above embodiment, two flow sensors are respectively located at the two above-mentioned air inlets to detect the flow rates of the two air inlets. When there is an obvious difference in the flow rates of the two air inlets, that is, the flow difference between the two air inlets is greater than the flow threshold, the control valve opens to control the conduction of the above-mentioned connecting pipeline. Specifically, the above-mentioned control valve 80 includes a valve 81 and a second motor 82. When the flow difference between the two air inlets is greater than the flow threshold, the second motor 82 is controlled to drive the valve 81 to open.

[0117] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:

[0118] 1) In the intercooler of the present application, the intercooler is used to cool the compressed air and then supply it to the engine. A blocking member is set at the air inlet of the front cover to divert the high-temperature air output by the outlet pipe of the air compressor to the first air chamber and the second air chamber connected to the air inlet. If vortex or backflow occurs in the first air chamber or the second air chamber, resulting in uneven gas distribution, it will cause uneven load on the cooling pipe connected to the first air chamber or the second air chamber, and thus cause the intercooler to have a poor cooling effect on the engine intake, affecting the engine performance. The blocking member can be driven to move by a driving member to adjust the size of the gap between the blocking member and the inner wall of the air inlet to adjust the flow distribution of the first air chamber and the second air chamber, so that the high-temperature gas is evenly distributed in the first air chamber and the second air chamber, avoiding vortex or backflow, thereby improving the cooling effect of the intercooler on the engine intake, ensuring engine performance, and solving the problem of poor cooling effect of the intercooler due to vortex or backflow in the prior art.

[0119] 2) In the control method of the intercooler of the present application, if vortex or backflow appears in the first air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the first air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the first inner wall of the air inlet, and the resistance increases, thereby reducing the flow rate of the first air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow, and improving the uniformity of gas distribution in the first air chamber. Similarly, if vortex or backflow appears in the second air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the second air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the second inner wall of the air inlet, and the resistance increases, thereby reducing the flow rate of the second air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow, and improving the uniformity of gas distribution in the second air chamber, thereby solving the problem of poor cooling effect of the intercooler in the prior art due to vortex or backflow.

[0120] 3) In the control device of the intercooler of the present application, if vortex or backflow appears in the first air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the first air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the first inner wall of the air inlet. The resistance increases, which can reduce the flow rate of the first air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow and improve the uniformity of gas distribution in the first air chamber. Similarly, if vortex or backflow appears in the second air chamber, it indicates that the gas flow rate of the second air chamber is too large, resulting in uneven distribution. The control driving member drives the blocking member to move to reduce the gap between the above-mentioned blocking member and the second inner wall of the air inlet. The resistance increases to reduce the flow rate of the second air chamber to avoid vortex or backflow and improve the uniformity of gas distribution in the second air chamber, thereby solving the problem of poor cooling effect of the intercooler in the prior art due to vortex or backflow.
