Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat exchange equipment, and in particular to an intercooler pipeline assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The layout of the intercooler inlet and outlet pipes is a key point in the design and development process, because in some cases, the layout of the pipes is affected by the layout of surrounding parts. Especially in some cases with obvious boundary restrictions, the intercooler pipe will inevitably become the lowest point of the system including the intercooler. However, when driving in a humid environment or in specific vehicle operating conditions, small water droplets are prone to accumulate in the intercooler pipes. After condensation, these small water droplets will gather to the lowest point in the pipe under the action of gravity, forming accumulated water. Generally, this accumulated water will evaporate as the engine sucks it into the combustion chamber. However, if the ambient temperature is low, the accumulated water may freeze into ice cubes, which will be ingested into the engine during the intake process, posing a risk of damaging the engine.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the downward extension includes downward vertical extension, downward oblique extension and downward curved extension, etc. The drain valve 05 is preferably arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 04, and the drain valve 05 can be an electromagnetic drain valve 05 or a drain bolt.

[0043] The intercooler pipe assembly provided in the present application has the first connecting end 03 as the lowest point of the first pipe portion 02, and the second connecting end 06 as the lowest point of the second pipe portion 07. During use, water droplets in the exhaust pipe will gradually flow toward the liquid storage chamber 04 and gather in the liquid storage chamber 04. The accumulated water gathered in the liquid storage chamber 04 can be discharged by opening the drain valve 05, so that the accumulated water and / or ice formed by the accumulated water are not easy to enter the engine during the intake process, thereby reducing the risk of engine damage.

That is to say, the entire port of the first connection port 03 and the entire port of the second connection port 06 are connected to the liquid storage chamber 04, so that the structure of the intercooler pipeline assembly is simple and relatively easy to manufacture. During manufacturing, it is only necessary to process the first connection port and the second connection port on the liquid storage chamber 04, insert the first connection port 03 into the first connection port, and insert the second connection port 06 into the second connection port.

When the first connection end 03 and the second connection end 06 are arranged close to the top of the liquid storage chamber 04, a larger part of the liquid storage chamber 04 is located below the first connection end 03 and the second connection end 06, so that more liquid can be accommodated, and the liquid is not easy to overflow into the first tube portion 02 or the second tube portion 07. Of course, the liquid storage chamber 04 can also be in a shape such as a cube.

[0046] Optionally, the first connection end 03 is coaxially arranged with the second connection end 06. The coaxial arrangement of the first connection end 03 and the second connection end 06 can reduce the obstruction to the airflow in the intercooler pipeline assembly and make the airflow flow smoother; of course, the first connection end 03 and the second connection end 06 can both be coaxially arranged with the liquid storage chamber 04.

[0047] Optionally, the air outlet pipe further includes a third pipe portion 10, the first pipe portion 02, the third pipe portion 10 and the second pipe portion 07 are connected in sequence, the liquid storage chamber 04 is installed on the outer wall of the third pipe portion 10, and the third pipe portion 10 is in communication with the liquid storage chamber 04. In other words, the airflow in the air outlet pipe flows through the first pipe portion 02, the third pipe portion 10 and the second pipe portion 07 in sequence without passing through the liquid storage chamber 04, so that the arrangement of the liquid storage chamber 04 is not likely to hinder the flow of the airflow in the air outlet pipe.

[0048] Optionally, the liquid storage chamber 04 has an inner cavity 09, and a connecting hole 11 communicating with the inner cavity 09 is formed on the outer wall of the third tube portion 10. In other words, the connecting hole 11 can be directly formed on the third tube portion 10, which is more convenient to manufacture; and the arrangement of the liquid storage chamber 04 and the connecting hole 11 enables the liquid storage chamber 04 to form a muffler on the air outlet pipe, effectively reducing noise. The number of the connecting holes 11 is preferably at least two. Preferably, the surfaces around the connecting hole 11 are all inclined toward the connecting hole 11 with the connecting hole 11 as the low point.

In this way, each chamber can play a role in reducing noise, thereby further improving the noise reduction effect. The multiple described in the embodiment of the present application refers to at least two. It can be understood that the number of chambers is one more than the number of partition plates. For example, when there is only one partition plate, the number of chambers is two, and when the number of partition plates is two, the number of chambers is three, and so on. A drain valve 05 can be provided at the position corresponding to each chamber, or each chamber can be connected at the bottom, and the accumulated water can be discharged from a drain valve 05.

[0051] Optionally, the size of each chamber gradually decreases in the direction from the first tube portion 02 to the second tube portion 07. In this way, chambers of different sizes can reduce noise of different frequencies, thereby increasing the frequency range in which the liquid storage chamber 04 can reduce noise and improving the noise reduction effect. Of course, different noise reduction effects can also be obtained by changing the number of connecting holes 11 or making the thickness of each partition plate different.

[0053] The vehicle provided in the present application adopts the intercooler pipe assembly provided in the present application. Since the first connecting end 03 is the lowest point of the first pipe portion 02, and the second connecting end 06 is the lowest point of the second pipe portion 07, during use, water droplets in the exhaust pipe will gradually flow to the liquid storage chamber 04 and gather in the liquid storage chamber 04. The accumulated water gathered in the liquid storage chamber 04 can be discharged by opening the drain valve 05, so that the accumulated water and / or ice formed by the accumulated water are not easy to enter the engine during the intake process, thereby reducing the risk of engine damage.
