Detailed Embodiments

[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0035] In combination withFigure 1 As shown, the engine heat recovery system according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model mainly includes: a main exhaust gas pipeline 1, an exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, a connection branch 6, and a second control valve 5. One end of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is connected to the main exhaust gas pipeline 1, and the other end is adapted to be connected to the engine intake pipeline. The exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is provided with a heat exchanger 3, and the heat exchanger 3 is used for heat exchange between the coolant and the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2. Specifically, the intake end of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is connected to the main exhaust gas pipeline 1, and the outlet end is adapted to be connected to the engine intake pipeline. When exhaust gas recirculation is carried out, the high-temperature exhaust gas will enter the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 from the main exhaust gas pipeline 1, and then flow into the engine intake pipeline through the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2. When the high-temperature exhaust gas flows through the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, the coolant in the heat exchanger 3 on the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 will exchange heat with the high-temperature exhaust gas, thereby realizing the temperature rise of the coolant.

[0036] In addition, the heat exchanger 3 is provided with a heat exchanger inlet water pipe 7 and a heat exchanger outlet water pipe 8. When the high-temperature exhaust gas flows through the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, it will pass through the heat exchanger 3. At this time, the coolant circulation system will discharge the coolant from the heat exchanger inlet water pipe 7, and the coolant will exchange heat with the passing high-temperature exhaust gas, and the heated coolant will be discharged from the heat exchanger outlet water pipe 8. The discharged high-temperature coolant enters the thermal management system, which can quickly raise the temperature of the engine waterway, heater core, radiator, battery pack, etc. connected to the coolant circulation system, and reach the optimal working temperature faster.

[0037] Furthermore, the connection branch 6 is connected between the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 and the main exhaust gas pipeline 1. Specifically, the intake port of the connection branch 6 is connected to the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, and the outlet port of the connection branch 6 is connected to the main exhaust gas pipeline 1. Among them, in the exhaust gas flow direction of the main exhaust gas pipeline 1, the intake port of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 on the main exhaust gas pipeline 1 is located upstream of the main exhaust gas pipeline 1, and the outlet port of the connection branch 6 on the main exhaust gas pipeline 1 is located downstream of the main exhaust gas pipeline 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the second control valve is arranged on the connection branch 6 or at the connection between the connection branch 6 and the main exhaust gas pipeline 1, and the second control valve is used to control the on-off of the connection path between the connection branch 6 and the main exhaust gas pipeline 1. Specifically, the second control valve can be arranged on the connection branch 6 or at the connection between the connection branch 6 and the main exhaust gas pipeline 1. When the second control valve is in the open state, the high-temperature exhaust gas can flow through the connection branch 6 and then flow into the main exhaust gas pipeline 1; when the second control valve is in the closed state, the high-temperature exhaust gas cannot flow through the connection branch 6 and then flow into the main exhaust gas pipeline 1.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, when the second control valve is opened, it is possible to achieve that the exhaust gas enters from the exhaust gas return branch 2, flows through the connecting branch 6, and finally flows into the main exhaust pipe 1, so as to realize heat recovery in the heat exchanger. Specifically, when the second control valve is opened, the high-temperature exhaust gas will enter from the exhaust gas return branch 2, then flow through the connecting branch 6, and finally flow into the main exhaust pipe 1. When the high-temperature exhaust gas passes through the exhaust gas return branch 2, it will exchange heat with the heat exchanger 3, heating up the coolant inside the heat exchanger 3. The heated coolant will be discharged to the thermal management system, which can quickly heat up the engine waterway, heater core, radiator, battery pack, etc. connected to the coolant circulation system, and reach the optimal working temperature faster.

[0040] Further, the exhaust gas return branch 2 is provided with a first switching valve 4. In the exhaust gas flow direction of the exhaust gas return branch 2, the first switching valve 4 is located downstream of the heat exchanger 3. Specifically, in the exhaust gas flow direction of the exhaust gas return branch 2, the heat exchanger 3 is arranged first, and then the first switching valve 4 is arranged. The first switching valve 4 is downstream of the heat exchanger 3.

[0041] Further, the engine heat recovery system includes a first working condition and a second working condition. In the first working condition, the first switching valve 4 is closed and the second control valve is opened, so that the exhaust gas flows into the main exhaust pipe 1 from the connecting branch 6; in the second working condition, the first switching valve 4 is opened and the second control valve is closed to prevent the exhaust gas from flowing into the main exhaust pipe 1 from the connecting branch 6. Specifically, the engine heat recovery system can have multiple working conditions, including but not limited to the first working condition and the second working condition. When the engine heat recovery system is in the first working condition, the first switching valve 4 is closed and the second control valve is opened. The high-temperature exhaust gas will enter from the exhaust gas return branch 2, then flow through the connecting branch 6, and finally flow into the main exhaust pipe 1. In this case, the exhaust gas cannot flow from the exhaust gas return branch 2 to the engine intake end; when the engine heat recovery system is in the second working condition, the first switching valve 4 is opened and the second control valve is closed. The high-temperature exhaust gas will enter from the exhaust gas return branch 2 and then flow to the engine intake end. In this case, the exhaust gas cannot flow into the main exhaust pipe 1 from the connecting branch 6.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the first operating condition is the low-temperature operating condition of the engine coolant temperature, such as the temperature -40°C ≤ T < 95°C, which can also be referred to as the cold engine state; the second operating condition is the normal operating condition of the engine coolant temperature, such as the temperature T ≥ 95°C. When the engine is in the first operating condition, the original heat recovery system (such as the EGR system) does not work, and the first switching valve 4 is in the closed state. At this time, the engine heat recovery system provided by the present utility model needs to work to quickly warm up the engine. At this time, the second control valve is opened, so as to start the engine heat recovery system provided by the present utility model for heat recovery; when the engine coolant temperature rises to the second operating condition, the original heat recovery system starts to work, and the engine heat recovery system provided by the present utility model pauses working, that is, the switching valve 4 is opened, and at the same time the second control valve is closed. Of course, there may also be other operating conditions, such as the first switching valve 4 and the second control valve are both opened, or the first switching valve 4 and the second control valve are both closed.

[0043] Further, the connection position of the connection branch 6 and the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 on the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is located between the heat exchanger 3 and the first switching valve 4. Specifically, the outlet end of the connection branch 6 is connected to the main exhaust pipe 1, and the inlet end of the connection branch 6 is connected to the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, and the specific position is any position between the heat exchanger 3 and the first switching valve 4. According to the flow direction of the high-temperature exhaust gas on the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, the heat exchanger 3, the inlet of the connection branch 6 on the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, and the first switching valve 4 are sequentially arranged on the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2.

[0044] Combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second control valve is a three-way valve 5. The three-way valve 5 is arranged at the connection of the connection branch 6 and the main exhaust pipe 1. The first port and the second port of the three-way valve 5 are connected to the front end and the rear end of the main exhaust pipe 1, and the third port of the three-way valve 5 is connected to the connection branch 6. Specifically, it can be understood that this is a solution of the present utility model. The second control valve adopts a three-way valve 5 with a three-way structure and is arranged at the connection of the connection branch 6 and the main exhaust pipe 1. The first port and the second port of the three-way valve 5 can also be understood as the front port and the rear port of the main path of the three-way valve 5, which are respectively connected to the front end and the rear end of the main exhaust pipe 1; the third port of the three-way valve 5 can also be understood as the branch port of the three-way valve 5 and is connected to the connection branch 6. At this time, in the flow direction of the exhaust gas on the main exhaust pipe 1, the inlet of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is upstream of the main exhaust pipe 1, and the second control valve, that is, the three-way valve 5, is downstream of the main exhaust pipe 1. More specifically, it can be understood that in the flow direction of the exhaust gas on the main exhaust pipe 1, from upstream to downstream, the inlet of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2, the first port of the three-way valve 5, and the second port of the three-way valve 5 are sequentially arranged.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the actuator 9 of the three-way valve 5 is a flap adjustment. The disc-shaped opening and closing member rotates around the valve shaft, and the adjustment angle is 90°, which is used to control the opening and closing of the first port and the third port of the three-way valve 5. The actuator 9 can be controlled in multiple states. For example, the first port of the three-way valve 5 is completely closed and the third port is opened; the first port of the three-way valve 5 is opened and the third port is completely closed; of course, it can also be adjusted with the flap of the actuator 9, and both the first port and the third port of the three-way valve 5 are opened, and the specific adjustment angle is not limited.

[0046] Combined Figure 3 with Figure 4 As shown, the three-way valve 5 includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the second port is communicated with the third port, and the first port is closed; in the second state, the second port is communicated with the first port, and the third port is closed. Specifically, the three-way valve 5 can be controlled in at least two states. For example, in the first state, the first port of the three-way valve 5 is completely closed, and at the same time, the third port is opened. More specifically, it can be understood that the front port of the main path of the three-way valve 5 is completely closed, and at the same time, the branch port of the three-way valve 5 is opened. At this time, the second port and the third port of the three-way valve 5 are in a communicating state. Refer to Figure 3 . At this time, the flap of the actuator 9 closes the first port of the three-way valve 5 downward, and at the same time opens the third port of the three-way valve 5. The exhaust gas in the main exhaust pipe 1 cannot pass through the first port of the three-way valve 5, and the exhaust gas will enter from the intake port of the exhaust gas return branch 2 at the front end of the main exhaust pipe 1, then flow through the heat exchanger 3 on the exhaust gas return branch 2, then return to the third port of the three-way valve 5 from the connecting branch 6, and finally flow into the rear end of the main exhaust pipe 1 from the second port of the three-way valve 5; when in the second state, the first port of the three-way valve 5 is opened, and at the same time, the third port of the three-way valve 5 is completely closed. More specifically, it can be understood that the front port of the main path of the three-way valve 5 is opened, and at the same time, the branch port of the three-way valve 5 is completely closed. At this time, the second port and the first port of the three-way valve 5 are in a communicating state. Refer to Figure 4 . At this time, the flap of the actuator 9 closes the third port of the three-way valve 5 upward, and at the same time opens the first port of the three-way valve 5. The exhaust gas in the connecting branch 6 cannot pass through, and all the exhaust gas passes through the main exhaust pipe 1, flows from the second port of the three-way valve 5 to the first port, and finally flows into the rear end of the main exhaust pipe 1.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, when the engine is in the cold start condition, the original heat recovery system does not work and the first switching valve 4 is in the closed state. At this time, the engine heat recovery system provided by the present utility model is required to work to quickly warm up the engine. The actuator 9 of the three-way valve 5 turns downwards to close the first port of the three-way valve 5 and simultaneously open the third port of the three-way valve 5. At this time, the exhaust gas that originally passed through the first port of the three-way valve 5 is blocked by the flap of the valve actuator 9, and all the high-temperature exhaust gas at the front end of the main exhaust pipe 1 is introduced into the exhaust gas return branch 2, then sequentially passes through the heat exchanger 3, the connecting branch 6, and the third port of the three-way valve 5, and finally flows into the rear end of the main exhaust pipe 1 from the second port of the three-way valve 5, forming an exhaust gas loop of the heat recovery system. The coolant of the thermal management system enters the heat exchanger 3 from the heat exchanger inlet pipe 7, exchanges heat with the passing high-temperature exhaust gas, and the heated coolant is discharged from the heat exchanger outlet pipe 8 into the thermal management system. The coolant in the cold start state is at a low temperature, and the high-temperature exhaust gas for heat recovery exchanges heat in the heat exchanger, causing the coolant temperature to rise rapidly, achieving the effect of heat recovery.

[0048] Combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second control valve is a two-way valve 10, and the two-way valve 10 is arranged on the connecting branch 6. Specifically, it can be understood that this is another solution of the present utility model. The two-way valve 10 adopts a butterfly valve structure. A butterfly valve is a flap regulating valve, and the disc-shaped closing member rotates around the valve shaft and reciprocates about 90° to regulate the opening and closing of the gas path. The two-way valve 10 is directly connected to the connecting branch 6 to control the on-off of the connecting branch 6.

[0049] According to another embodiment of the present utility model, when the engine is in the cold start condition, the original heat recovery system does not work and the first switching valve 4 is in the closed state. At this time, the engine heat recovery system provided by the present utility model is required to work to quickly warm up the engine. The two-way valve 10 is opened, and a part of the high-temperature exhaust gas at the front end of the main exhaust pipe 1 is introduced into the exhaust gas return branch 2, flows through the heat exchanger 3, and then passes through the connecting branch 6. Since the two-way valve 10 on the connecting branch 6 is opened, the high-temperature exhaust gas can flow from the connecting branch 6 into the rear end of the main exhaust pipe 1, forming a high-temperature exhaust gas loop of the heat recovery system. The coolant of the thermal management system enters the heat exchanger 3 from the heat exchanger inlet pipe 7, exchanges heat with the passing high-temperature exhaust gas, and the heated coolant is discharged from the heat exchanger outlet pipe 8 into the thermal management system. The coolant in the cold start state is at a low temperature, and the high-temperature exhaust gas for heat recovery exchanges heat in the heat exchanger, causing the coolant temperature to rise rapidly, achieving the effect of heat recovery.

[0050] Combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, an air intake guide plate 11 is provided at the connection between the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 and the main exhaust pipe 1, and a gas return guide plate 12 is provided at the connection between the connection branch 6 and the main exhaust pipe 1. Specifically, an air intake guide plate 11 is provided at the air inlet of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 and the main exhaust pipe 1. When the exhaust gas in the main exhaust pipe 1 flows and encounters the air intake guide plate 11, a flow split is formed, and more exhaust gas can be introduced into the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 through the air intake guide plate 11; a gas return guide plate 12 is provided at the air outlet of the connection branch 6 and the main exhaust pipe 1. The air flow direction of the main path exhaust gas in the main exhaust pipe 1 is from top to bottom. According to Bernoulli's principle, the greater the flow velocity, the smaller the pressure. The exhaust gas flow velocity in the main exhaust pipe 1 is large, and the exhaust gas flow velocity in the connection branch 6 is small. Due to the existence of the flow velocity difference, the air flow in the main exhaust pipe 1 can effectively attract the air flow in the connection branch 6. The added gas return guide plate 12 can strengthen the Bernoulli effect and increase the air flow in the heat recovery system.

[0051] Furthermore, the air intake guide plate 11 and the gas return guide plate 12 are semi-circular structures. Specifically, the air intake pipe guide plate 11 and the gas return pipe guide plate 12 are semi-circular structures. According to needs, guide plate structures with different radii and heights can be designed to match the required exhaust gas recovery amount of the system.

[0052] Furthermore, the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is connected to the main exhaust pipe 1 at a first position of the main exhaust pipe 1, and the connection branch 6 is connected to the main exhaust pipe 1 at a second position of the main exhaust pipe 1. Along the flow direction of the exhaust gas in the main exhaust pipe 1, the first position is upstream of the second position. Specifically, the air inlet of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is provided at the first position on the main exhaust pipe 1, and the air outlet of the connection branch 6 is provided at the second position on the main exhaust pipe 1. Along the flow direction of the exhaust gas in the main exhaust pipe 1, the air inlet of the exhaust gas recirculation branch 2 is upstream, and the air outlet of the connection branch 6 is downstream.

[0053] The engine according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes the above-mentioned engine heat recovery system.
