[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0020] The air intake device 3 comprises a control pipe 5, an intercooler 6, an output pipe 7 and a vortex tube 8, the output end of the control pipe 5 is connected to the input end of the intercooler 6, the output pipe 7 is installed at the output end of the intercooler 6, and the vortex tube 8 is located between the control pipe 5 and the intercooler 6;
[0021] Furthermore, the vortex tube 8 is in a T-shaped structure, and the vortex tube 8 includes a lower connecting tube 9 and an upper connecting tube 10. The lower connecting tube 9 is welded to the bottom of the upper connecting tube 10, and the lower connecting tube 9 and the upper connecting tube 10 are a through structure. The bottom of the lower connecting tube 9 is connected to the side of the control tube 5 by welding, one end of the upper connecting tube 10 is connected to the output pipe 7, and the other end of the upper connecting tube 10 is connected to the input end of the intercooler 6. After the gas is pressurized by the supercharger 4, a part of the high-pressure gas flows through the vortex tube 8, and the other part of the high-pressure gas flows through the intercooler 6 through the control tube 5. The gas passing through the vortex tube 8 is divided into two parts. The hot air enters the intercooler 6 for cooling; the cold air enters the output pipe 7 and mixes with the gas cooled by the intercooler 6. Due to the low temperature, the intake temperature before the throttle body can be further reduced.
[0022] Differently, the control tube 5 has a Z-shaped structure, and a connecting sealing gasket 12 is provided at the bottom input end of the control tube 5. The connecting sealing gasket 12 has a hexagonal structure. A throttle valve 11 is installed in the control tube 5. When the engine is working, the engine control system can control the throttle valve 11 in the tube 5. The engine control system can control the air flow distribution through the intercooler 6 and the vortex tube 8 by the opening of the throttle valve 11 according to the operating conditions and load of the engine. After the high-temperature gas in the vortex tube 8 enters the intercooler 6, the temperature difference between the gas and the coolant in the intercooler 6 will be increased, thereby increasing the heat dissipation.
[0023] Effectively, a supercharger 4 is installed at the bottom of the control tube 5, and a connecting sealing gasket 12 is provided at the top output end of the supercharger 4. The purpose of supercharging is to achieve the purpose of supercharging, so as to further improve the intake efficiency and pressure, and the connecting sealing gasket 12 at the top of the supercharger 4 is to cooperate with the connecting sealing gasket 12 at the bottom of the control tube 5, so as to connect the supercharger 4 with the control tube 5.
[0024] Working principle: When the engine is working, after the gas is pressurized by the supercharger 4, a part of the high-pressure gas flows through the vortex tube 8, and the other part of the high-pressure gas flows through the intercooler 6 through the control tube 5. The gas passing through the vortex tube 8 is divided into two parts. The hot air enters the intercooler 6 for cooling; the cold air enters the output pipe 7 and mixes with the gas cooled by the intercooler 6. Due to the low temperature, the intake temperature before the throttle body can be further reduced. The engine control system can control the throttle valve 11 in the tube 5. The engine control system can control the air flow distribution through the intercooler 6 and the vortex tube 8 with the opening of the throttle valve 11 according to the operating conditions and load of the engine. After the high-temperature gas in the vortex tube 8 enters the intercooler 6, the temperature difference between the gas and the coolant in the intercooler 6 will be increased, thereby increasing the heat dissipation.

All components are universal standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The utility model solves the following problem: the temperature of air in an existing automobile engine increases after being compressed by a supercharger. In order to improve the intake efficiency, the high-temperature gas must be cooled by an intercooler before entering the intake manifold and then entering the engine cylinder. Since the air passes through multiple components and the intake pipeline is relatively long, the engine intake efficiency is low and the intercooler workload is high. The utility model can effectively reduce the workload of the intercooler by combining the above components, thereby improving the efficiency of the engine air intake. By adding a vortex tube structure, during air intake, the cold air can be directly discharged into the main pipe and transported to the engine, while the hot air will be cooled by the intercooler and then enter the main pipe and transported to the engine for use.
