[0035] The specific implementation process of the pneumatic turbine in the energy recovery device for recovering the brake energy of the house car is as follows in combination with the multi-stage compression air compressor;
[0036] The system starts and initializes: the operator starts the refrigeration system through the man-machine interaction screen, and the intelligent temperature control module starts the self-checking program. The temperature sensor collects the temperature data of each area in the house car in real time, the MCU controller initializes the PID fuzzy control algorithm according to the preset parameters, and checks the pressure sensor signal and the state of the electromagnetic valve in the buffer gas tank. At this time, the multi-stage compression air compressor is in standby mode, the power connection between the first compression unit of the multi-stage compression air compressor and the engine of the house car is in the disconnected state, and the secondary compression unit is pre-started through the on-board storage battery or the solar power supply system;
[0037] Brake energy recovery execution process: when the house car enters the deceleration or downhill working condition, the brake system triggers the energy recovery device. The pneumatic turbine is connected with the input shaft of the multi-stage compression air compressor through the transmission shaft. At this time, the one-way transmission structure in the turbine shell automatically locks the reverse rotation to ensure that the brake energy is only used to drive the air compressor to work. The pneumatic turbine converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into rotary power to drive the air compressor to compress the air. The compressed air exchanges heat with the engine exhaust gas through the heat exchanger, and the temperature is raised to the required range and then input into the buffer gas storage tank. In this process, the secondary compression unit of the air compressor dynamically adjusts the working frequency according to the feedback signal of the gas tank pressure sensor. When the tank pressure is lower than the set threshold, the secondary unit automatically starts and works with the primary unit;
[0038] Engine exhaust heat energy recovery process: the heat exchanger adopts a double-pipe structure design. The inner pipe flows through the primary compressed air, and the outer layer flows through the high-temperature exhaust gas discharged by the engine. The exhaust gas forms a counter-current heat exchange in the interlayer, transfers heat to the inner air, and raises the temperature of the inner air to above 80℃. A temperature monitoring point is arranged at the outlet of the heat exchanger. When the exhaust gas temperature is detected to be lower than 200℃, the system automatically closes the pneumatic turbine air inlet valve and switches to the secondary compression unit alone to avoid low-efficiency energy conversion;
[0039] Air compression and storage management: the multi-stage compression air compressor adopts a three-stage variable pressure design, and the compression chambers of each stage are connected through communication pipes with one-way valves. The primary compressed air enters the buffer gas storage tank after heat exchange, and the nanometer porous heat insulation material layer laid in the tank effectively reduces heat loss. The pressure sensor monitors the tank pressure in real time. When the set value is reached, the MCU controller sends a command to close the electromagnetic valve to stop air input; when the pressure is lower than the safety value, the system automatically starts the secondary compression unit for air supplement. The conical structure at the bottom of the gas storage tank guides the condensed water to the electronic drain valve, and the drainage period is dynamically adjusted by the controller according to the humidity sensor signal;
[0040] Temperature control and adjustment mechanism: the intelligent adjustment vortex tube assembly is started according to the MCU controller command, the driving part drives the second driving part to rotate, and the first driving part is driven to rotate through gear engagement. The limiting groove on the inner wall of the first driving part cooperates with the limiting part to ensure the stability of the transmission. The adjusting part adjusts the opening angle under the action of the driving part to change the air volume distribution of the cold air outlet. The PID fuzzy control algorithm takes temperature deviation and deviation change rate as input to dynamically adjust the opening degree of the electromagnetic valve and the rotating speed of the driving part. When the temperature deviation is greater than 3℃, it enters the forced cooling mode, and when the deviation is within ±1℃, it switches to the fine adjustment mode to ensure that the temperature fluctuation in the house car is not more than 0.5℃;
[0041] The operation process of the noise reduction system is as follows: after the compressed air is output from the buffer tank, it enters the vortex tube through the spiral guide pipe. The axial ribs on the inner wall of the guide pipe break the vortex of the airflow and reduce the turbulent noise. The noise reduction piece absorbs noise of different frequencies through the honeycomb structure and the staggered wave-shaped guide plates, and the double-layer sound insulation structure of the matching piece further isolates the vibration transmission. The entire noise reduction system forms a double-stage noise reduction structure at the air inlet and outlet of the assembly piece.
[0042] Emergency mode and system protection: when the vehicle battery is insufficient or the solar power supply system fails, the multi-stage compression air compressor automatically switches to the engine power driving mode, at which time the clutch device re-establishes the power connection between the first compression unit and the engine. If the pressure in the buffer tank abnormally rises, the safety valve will automatically open to release pressure, and the MCU controller will issue an alarm through the human-machine interaction screen to prompt the operator to check the system status.
[0043] System shutdown and data storage: after the operator turns off the refrigeration system through the human-machine interaction screen, the MCU controller executes the shutdown program, saves the temperature curve, pressure change and other data of this run to the storage module. At this time, the drive piece returns to zero, the adjustment piece restores the initial angle, the electromagnetic valve is closed, the transmission connection between the pneumatic turbine and the air compressor is disconnected, and the entire system enters a low-power standby state.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , the noise reduction system includes a noise reduction piece 14 and a spiral guide pipe, please refer to Figure 5 , the noise reduction piece 14 is installed outside the assembly piece 3, the spiral guide pipe is installed between the buffer tank and the vortex tube 1, the noise reduction piece 14 has a honeycomb structure, the noise reduction piece 14 is sleeved with a matching piece 13 outside, the center of the noise reduction piece 14 coincides with the center of the through hole 12, the outside of the matching piece 13 is connected with the corresponding position of the outside of the assembly piece 3, the honeycomb structure of the noise reduction piece 14 is provided with staggered guide plates, the surface of the guide plate is wave-shaped, the matching piece 13 adopts a double-layer sound insulation structure, the inner layer of the matching piece 13 is a metal sheet, and the outer layer of the matching piece 13 is a flexible sound insulation material.
[0045] The scheme adopts the design of combination of multi-stage compression air compressor and energy recovery device, the pneumatic turbine in the energy recovery device can recover the braking energy of the motor home, the heat exchanger can utilize the waste heat of the engine exhaust, and the multi-stage compression air compressor is matched with the two to improve the energy utilization efficiency, reduce the consumption of the original energy of the motor home, make the system more energy-saving and environment-friendly in the running process, and the temperature sensor in the intelligent temperature control module can sense the temperature in the motor home in real time, transmit information to the MCU controller with the built-in PID fuzzy control algorithm, the MCU controller can control the intelligent adjustment of the vortex tube assembly according to the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature, realize the automatic adjustment of the size of the cold air outlet of the vortex tube 1, break through the limitation of traditional manual adjustment, and quickly respond to temperature changes without manual intervention, so that high-precision constant temperature control in the motor home is realized, and the specific implementation process is as follows:
[0046] Temperature data acquisition stage: the multiple point temperature sensors preset in the motor home are started synchronously, and the temperatures of the driving area, the resting area and the storage area are monitored. The sensor adopts three-wire PT100 platinum resistance, and the contact type temperature measurement method is used to sense the environment temperature in real time. Data is collected every 2 seconds and converted into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the MCU controller through a shielded cable;
[0047] Control algorithm operation stage: after the MCU controller receives the temperature signal, the built-in PID fuzzy control algorithm is started immediately. The algorithm first calculates the deviation range of the temperature of each area from the set value, and predicts the future temperature trend combined with the historical temperature change trend. When it is detected that the temperature deviation of a certain area exceeds 1.5 DEG C, the system automatically determines that the working condition needs to be adjusted, and the control level is divided according to the deviation size: the deviation is more than 3 DEG C, the forced cooling mode is entered, the deviation is between 1 DEG C and 3 DEG C, the normal adjustment mode is entered, and the deviation is less than 1 DEG C, the fine adjustment and maintenance mode is started;
[0048] Drive instruction generation stage: according to the adjustment amount output by the control algorithm, the MCU controller generates corresponding pulse width modulation signals. The signals are transmitted to the drive part 6 (step motor with self-locking function) through the CAN bus, and the instruction content includes the rotation direction, the step angle and the holding torque parameters. For example, when the cold air volume needs to be increased, the controller sends a positive rotation instruction, and the drive part 6 rotates at a speed of 60 steps per second;
[0049] Mechanical transmission execution stage: after receiving the instruction, the output shaft of the drive part 6 drives the second transmission part 8 (gear) to rotate through the key groove matching structure. The second transmission part 8 is meshed with the first transmission part 4 (tooth ring structure) to force the first transmission part to move in the circumferential direction in the hollow disc of the assembly part 3. The limiting groove 10 on the inner wall of the first transmission part is in sliding cooperation with the limiting part 11 (wear-resistant alloy bolt), so that the transmission process is free of radial deviation;
[0050] Cold air outlet adjustment stage: the rotary motion of the first transmission member 4 is transmitted to the adjustment member 5 (water droplet-shaped baffle) through the connecting member 9 (transmission rod with elastic clamping jaw). The adjustment member makes opening and closing motion with the center of the assembly 3 as the axis, and the arc surface design of the water droplet-shaped structure can smoothly change the effective ventilation area of the cold air outlet. When the adjustment member expands outward, the cross-sectional area of the cold air outlet increases, and vice versa, so as to realize stepless adjustment of the air volume;
[0051] State feedback verification stage: during the adjustment process, the encoder built-in the driving member 6 feedbacks the rotation angle in real time, and compares with the instruction value of the MCU controller. If the actual angle deviates from the target value by more than 2%, the system automatically starts the compensation program, and adjusts the position of the driving member through fine-tuning pulse signal. At the same time, the pressure sensor in the buffer gas tank synchronously monitors the gas supply pressure. When the pressure is lower than the safety threshold, the controller prioritizes basic refrigeration needs and suspends the fine adjustment mode;
[0052] Multi-region collaborative control stage: for multi-region car space with temperature difference, the MCU controller adopts partition control strategy. For example, when the temperature of the driving area meets the standard and the temperature of the resting area still needs to be lowered, the system adjusts the opening degree of the adjustment member in the corresponding area to realize directional delivery of cold air. The adjustment members in each area act independently, but are coordinated by algorithm to avoid system pressure fluctuation caused by excessive adjustment of the cold air outlet;
[0053] Abnormal state processing stage: if the temperature sensor detects abnormally high temperature (such as more than 40℃) or the driving member appears locked-rotor fault, the MCU controller immediately executes the emergency program: closes the electromagnetic valve to stop gas supply, starts the standby cooling fan, and displays the fault code through the man-machine interaction screen. At this time, the adjustment member automatically resets to the maximum opening position to ensure the continuous operation of the basic refrigeration function;
[0054] Running record and learning stage: after each operation of the system, the MCU controller stores the temperature adjustment curve, driving member action frequency and other data into the non-volatile memory. Through long-term data accumulation, the control algorithm can automatically optimize the PID parameters, such as adjusting the temperature response speed according to the user's usage habits, so that the system gradually adapts to the use scene of a specific car;
[0055] System hibernation and wake-up stage: when the car power switches to low-power mode, the intelligent temperature control module enters standby state. At this time, the driving member 6 remains in the self-locking state to prevent the adjustment member from moving accidentally, and the temperature sensor reduces the frequency to collect data every 30 seconds. When the detected temperature rises by more than 2℃, the system automatically wakes up and executes a single adjustment cycle to maintain the basic temperature balance of the car interior.
[0056] The scheme drives the rotation of the second transmission member 8 through the driving member 6, so that the adjusting member 5 can be opened and closed through the driving of the first transmission member 4 and the connecting member 9, and then the intelligent temperature control module can be cooperatively controlled, so that the driving member 6 can adjust the size of the vortex tube 1 outlet according to the instructions of the MCU controller in real time, the system can respond more accurately to the temperature change of each area of the motor home, and the actual regulation effect of the PID fuzzy control algorithm can be further improved, and the constant temperature stability can be enhanced.
