Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of drainage devices, and in particular relates to an intelligent drainage device for a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the commercial vehicle piping system that uses compressed air as the power source, although an air drying system is installed, it is inevitable that water will condense in the air tank over time. If the water in the air tank cannot be removed, it will cause water accumulation and rust in the entire brake system pipeline, and premature aging of valve parts in the pipeline, thereby affecting the braking performance of the entire vehicle.

[0003] In order to ensure the normal operation of gas-using equipment in the pipeline, a manual drain valve was previously installed at the bottom of the vehicle gas tank. Therefore, maintenance personnel were required to manually pull the pull ring under the drain valve regularly to drain water. In cold weather conditions, the vehicle drainage system faces the problem of the electric control drain valve freezing, resulting in the failure of the drainage function.

Through the set cycle, the automatic drainage controller sequentially controls the opening of the electric control water valve on each air tank, so that the water in each air tank can be automatically discharged out in sequence, so as to achieve the purpose of timely drainage.

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle intelligent drainage device, including:

[0048] Gas storage tanks 1, having a plurality of them, arranged side by side and evenly spaced;

[0050] The automatic drainage controller 3 is electrically connected to the electric-controlled drainage valve 2 and is used to control the opening or closing of the electric-controlled drainage valve 2;

[0051] The mounting assembly 4 is arranged on the electric-controlled drain valve 2 and is used to mount the electric-controlled drain valve 2 at the drain outlet of the gas storage tank 1 for easy removal and replacement;

[0052] The installation assembly 4 comprises:

[0053] The connecting tube 41 is arranged on the top of the electric-controlled drain valve 2;

[0054] The mounting plate 42 is mounted on the drain port of the gas storage tank 1 by welding, and the mounting plate 42 is in contact with the connecting tube 41;

[0055] A card slot 43 is provided inside the mounting plate 42, and the card slot 43 extends downward to pass through the mounting plate 42;

[0056] The slide rod 44 is slidably disposed on the left and right sides of the connecting tube 41;

[0057] The clamping block 45 is disposed on the slide bar 44, and the clamping block 45 is clamped and connected with the clamping slot 43;

[0058] The elastic member 46 is sleeved on the sliding rod 44 and disposed between the clamping block 45 and the connecting tube 41 .

[0059] In the present technical solution, a plurality of gas storage tanks 1 are arranged side by side for storing gas or liquid, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the drainage device during use. The electric-controlled drain valve 2 is installed at the drain outlet of the gas storage tank 1, and is used to control the opening and closing of the drain outlet, thereby realizing the discharge of gas or liquid. The automatic drainage controller 3 controls the opening and closing of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 through electrical connection, automatically manages the drainage process, and improves the convenience of operation and drainage efficiency. The installation component 4 facilitates the installation, disassembly and replacement of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 to ensure the convenience of maintenance and replacement. The specific structure of the installation component 4 includes:

[0060] The connecting tube 41 is arranged on the top of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 to provide a fixed connection for the electric-controlled drain valve 2. The mounting plate 42 is welded on the drain port of the gas tank 1 to fix the electric-controlled drain valve 2. The card slot 43 is opened inside the mounting plate 42 and extends downward through the mounting plate 42 to ensure that the drain valve can be accurately installed. The slide bar 44 is slidably arranged on the left and right sides of the connecting tube 41, and is fixed and adjusted with the card block 45. The card block 45 is engaged with the card slot 43 to ensure the stability of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 during installation and removal. The elastic member 46 is sleeved on the slide bar 44 to provide additional support and adjustment room to ensure a stable connection between the slide bar 44 and the card block 45.

[0061] Specifically, the automatic drainage controller 3 automatically controls the opening and closing of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 according to the set conditions (such as time, sensor data) to realize automatic drainage; when the electric-controlled drain valve 2 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to adjust the position of the slide rod 44, the slide rod 44 moves along the connecting tube 41, the elastic member 46 is compressed, the slide rod 44 drives the clamping block 45 to move, and the clamping block 45 moves along the clamping groove 43 until it is no longer clamped to each other, and then the clamping block 45 can be taken out from the clamping groove 43, so that the electric-controlled drain valve 2 can be replaced conveniently, and the electric-controlled drain valve 2 can be inspected and replaced conveniently. When the electric-controlled drain valve 2 needs to be installed, the clamping block 45 can be removed from the clamping groove 43. The block 45 is aligned with the slot 43. Under the resetting action of the elastic member 46, the slide bar 44 moves outward along the connecting tube 41 and drives the block 45 to move and clamp with the slot 43. The block 45 ensures stable installation through the cooperation of the slot 43, and then the electric control drain valve 2 is installed at the drain port of the gas tank 1.

[0062] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic member 46 is optimized to be a return spring.

[0063] In the present technical solution, a return spring is used as the elastic member 46, which not only has a good effect, but also has the advantages of easy installation and low price, thus saving production costs.

[0064] Embodiment 2:

[0065] This embodiment provides an intelligent drainage device for a vehicle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the electric-controlled drain valve 2 is optimized and provided with a deicing assembly 5, which is used to automatically detect and perform deicing operation on the electric-controlled drain valve 2 when the outside temperature is low;

[0067] The de-icing assembly 5 comprises:

[0068] The temperature sensor 51 is used to monitor the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 in real time, and its signal output is connected to the control unit 53;

[0069] The heating module 52 is arranged on the electric-controlled drain valve 2 and is used to heat the electric-controlled drain valve 2 to melt the ice formed, thereby ensuring that the drainage system is always in the best working state;

[0070] The control unit 53 is used to receive the temperature signal from the temperature sensor 51 and control the operating state of the heating module 52 according to a set temperature threshold.

[0071] In this technical solution, the temperature sensor 51 monitors the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 in real time, and its signal output is connected to the control unit 53 to accurately obtain the current temperature data. The heating module 52 is installed on the electric-controlled drain valve 2 to heat the area of ​​the electric-controlled drain valve 2 and melt the ice formed by the low temperature, so as to prevent the ice from blocking the drain port and ensure the normal operation of the drainage system. The control unit 53 receives the temperature data from the temperature sensor 51 and compares it with the preset temperature threshold. According to the temperature situation, the heating module 52 is controlled to be turned on and off to achieve automatic deicing.

[0072] Workflow:

[0073] The temperature sensor 51 continuously monitors the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2, and the sensor transmits real-time temperature data to the control unit 53. After receiving the temperature data, the control unit 53 compares it with the set temperature threshold; if the temperature is lower than the set threshold, the control unit 53 determines that the electric-controlled drain valve 2 may be at risk of freezing. The control unit 53 activates the heating module 52 based on the judgment result, and the heating module 52 starts to heat the electric-controlled drain valve 2 to melt the ice; the temperature sensor 51 continuously monitors the temperature change after heating, and the control unit 53 continuously adjusts the operating status of the heating module 52. When the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 returns to the normal range, the heating module 52 automatically turns off. By automatically adjusting the heating operation, the drainage system is prevented from failing due to low temperature, ensuring that the drainage function can operate reliably under various climatic conditions. This ensures that the electric-controlled drain valve 2 can continue to work effectively in a cold environment, improves the reliability and adaptability of the system, and prevents drainage dysfunction caused by freezing.

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the control unit 53 is optimized to include:

[0075] A temperature threshold setting unit 531 is used to set a temperature threshold and trigger the heating module 52 to work when the temperature is lower than the threshold;

[0076] A power regulating unit 532, used to adjust the heating power of the heating module 52 to ensure effective heating at different external temperatures;

[0077] The microprocessor 533 is used to process the signal output by the temperature sensor 51 and issue a control instruction according to a preset temperature threshold;

[0078] The driving circuit of the heating module 52 is used to receive control instructions from the microprocessor 533 and adjust the operating state of the heating module 52 .

[0079] In the present technical solution, the temperature threshold setting unit 531 allows the user to set the temperature threshold. When the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 is lower than the threshold, the unit will trigger the operation of the heating module 52, providing flexible temperature setting options to adapt to different climate conditions and usage requirements. The power adjustment unit 532 adjusts the heating power of the heating module 52, according to the change of the external environmental temperature, to ensure the optimization of the heating effect, optimize the heating process, so that the heating module 52 can operate effectively at various external temperatures, and prevent the freezing problem from affecting the drainage system. The microprocessor 533 processes the signal output by the temperature sensor 51, and issues a control instruction according to the set temperature threshold. As the core of the control unit 53, it is responsible for real-time data processing and instruction issuance, ensuring that the heating module 52 works accurately and efficiently. The driving circuit of the heating module 52 receives the control instruction of the microprocessor 533, and adjusts the operating state of the heating module 52 (such as opening or closing, power adjustment, etc.), converts the control signal of the microprocessor 533 into the actual operation of the heating module 52, and ensures that the heating module 52 works as required.

[0080] Workflow:

[0081] The temperature sensor 51 continuously monitors the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 and transmits the data to the microprocessor 533. The microprocessor 533 receives the data from the temperature sensor 51 and compares it with the temperature threshold set in the temperature threshold setting unit 531. If the monitored temperature is lower than the set threshold, the microprocessor 533 will generate a control instruction. The microprocessor 533 adjusts the power of the heating module 52 according to the external temperature and the set temperature threshold. The power adjustment unit 532 adjusts the power of the heating module 52 to ensure optimal heating efficiency and adapt to different ambient temperatures. The heating module 52 drive circuit adjusts the operating status of the heating module 52 (such as on / off, power size, etc.) according to the instructions of the microprocessor 533. The microprocessor 533 continuously monitors the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 and dynamically adjusts the operating status of the heating module 52 to ensure that the temperature remains within the set range; when the temperature of the electric-controlled drain valve 2 reaches a safe range, the heating module 52 will automatically shut down to save energy and prevent overheating. If the temperature is abnormal or the heating module 52 fails, the microprocessor 533 may sound an alarm or switch to a standby mode to protect the normal operation of the system. The control unit 53 achieves precise control of the vehicle intelligent drainage device through the coordinated work of the temperature threshold setting unit 531, the power adjustment unit 532, the microprocessor 533 and the heating module 52 drive circuit. It can not only automatically adjust the heating module 52 to cope with different external temperature conditions, but also ensure that the electric-controlled drain valve 2 always maintains the best working state in a cold environment, thereby improving the reliability and functionality of the system.

[0082] Embodiment 3:

[0083] This embodiment provides an intelligent drainage device for a vehicle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the control unit 53 is optimized to include a self-checking module 6 for regularly checking the working status of the temperature sensor 51 and the heating module 52 and issuing an alarm when an abnormality is found.

[0085] In the present technical solution, the self-check module 6 regularly checks the status of the temperature sensor 51 and the heating module 52 to ensure that they are within the normal operating range. By timely discovering and reporting potential faults, the system can be prevented from failing at critical moments, thereby improving the reliability of the overall system. Through regular testing, sensor failures, heating module 52 failures or other system anomalies can be identified as early as possible to avoid long-term effects on the drainage system. When any anomaly is detected (such as failure of the temperature sensor 51, failure of the heating module 52, etc.), the self-check module 6 will trigger an alarm, which helps users or maintenance personnel to intervene as soon as possible to solve the problem and ensure that the system continues to operate effectively.

[0086] Workflow:

[0087] The self-test module 6 automatically starts the self-test program when the system is started or within a set time interval. The self-test can be run when the system is turned on or at a set time period (for example, every few hours or every day). The self-test module 6 reads the data of the temperature sensor 51 and compares whether the output value of the sensor is within the expected range, for example, to check whether the sensor can normally reflect the actual temperature, whether there is a data deviation or transmission problem, and to verify whether the sensor can accurately respond and transmit data by simulating different temperature environments (for example, set test temperature points). The self-test module 6 checks the working status of the heating module 52, including the power supply, the normal operation of the heating element, etc., and verifies whether the heating module 52 can start and stop normally after receiving the instruction. By sending a control signal, the heating process of the heating module 52 is simulated to ensure that the heating module 52 can heat as expected and reach the set temperature requirement. The self-test module 6 compares the test results with the normal working standard. If it is found that the temperature sensor 51 or the heating module 52 has a fault (such as abnormal data, untimely response, poor heating effect, etc.), it is marked as abnormal. Once an abnormality is detected, the self-test module 6 will trigger an alarm mechanism, and the alarm can be issued in a variety of ways, such as:

[0088] Visual alert: A warning light on the instrument panel or a warning message on the display.

[0089] Audible alarm: buzzer or other audible alarm device.

[0090] Remote notification: If the system has remote monitoring function, notification can be sent to the user's mobile phone or vehicle diagnostic system through the communication module.

[0091] Data recording: The self-test module 6 records the test results and alarm information for subsequent analysis and maintenance. The recorded information includes the test time, abnormality type, fault location, etc.

[0092] Analysis report: Based on the recorded data, the system can generate a fault analysis report to help maintenance personnel quickly locate the problem and repair it.

[0093] Summarize

[0094] The design goal of the self-check module 6 is to ensure the high reliability and stability of the vehicle intelligent drainage device during use. By regularly detecting the status of the temperature sensor 51 and the heating module 52, timely discovering and warning system abnormalities, it can effectively prevent system failures and improve the overall system safety and user experience. This automated self-check and alarm mechanism ensures that the drainage system can continue to operate effectively under various environmental conditions.

[0095] Embodiment 4:

[0096] This embodiment provides an intelligent drainage device for a vehicle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0097] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the optimization also includes a circuit protection valve 7, a dryer 8, an oil-water separator 9 and an air compressor 10. The output ports of the circuit protection valve 7 are respectively connected to the air storage tanks 1, the dryer 8 is connected to the input port of the circuit protection valve 7, the oil-water separator 9 is connected to the dryer 8, and the air compressor 10 is connected to the oil-water separator 9.

[0098] In the present technical solution, the loop protection valve 7 is responsible for managing the airflow distribution in the system, and its various output ports are respectively connected to a plurality of gas storage tanks 1 to ensure uniform distribution and protect the gas circuit from excessive pressure, prevent the gas circuit pressure from being too high or too low, and ensure the stability and safety of the gas supply. The dryer 8 is used to remove moisture from the compressed air to prevent moisture from corroding or freezing the internal components of the drainage device, thereby ensuring long-term stable operation of the system. The oil-water separator 9 is used to separate the oil and water in the compressed air, protect subsequent equipment from oil and water contamination, and improve the efficiency and life of the system. The air compressor 10 is responsible for compressing the air, providing the necessary gas pressure for various functions of the system, and providing the system with high-pressure gas to ensure the normal operation of the drainage device under different working conditions.

[0099] Workflow:

[0100] The air compressor 10 inhales air from the external environment and compresses it to the required pressure level. The compressed air contains a certain amount of moisture and oil. The compressed air first flows into the oil-water separator 9, where the oil-water separator 9 separates the oil and moisture in the air and purifies the air. The purified air then flows into the dryer 8 to further remove residual moisture in the air to ensure that the air is dry. The dried air is distributed to each air tank 1 through the loop protection valve 7. The loop protection valve 7 controls the air flow of each air tank 1 to maintain the air pressure balance in the system and prevent any air path overpressure or low pressure problems. The function of the air tank 1 is to store the air compressed by the air compressor 10. When the vehicle passes through high and low roads and the air suspension height needs to be adjusted, air is directly provided, eliminating the time for compressing the air again. The air tank 1 can also buffer the compressor gas, reduce the workload of the compressor, and save energy. When the drainage device needs gas, the air in the air tank 1 is transported to various parts of the system through the loop protection valve 7 to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
