Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of EGR, and particularly relates to an intake air cooling system, a thermal management system and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] EGR (Exhaust Gas Re-circulation) means that a part of the exhaust gas (EGR gas) discharged from the engine is sent back to the intake manifold and enters the cylinder again together with the fresh air-fuel mixture. The EGR valve is the core component of the EGR system and is used to regulate the flow rate of the EGR gas entering the intake manifold of the engine. When the temperature of the high-temperature EGR gas drops below the dew point temperature, condensed water will be separated out from the EGR gas. If the production of condensed water is not controlled, in severe cases, it may cause the engine to stall or corrode the EGR valve.

[0003] In the prior art, for a vehicle with engine intake air intercooling, in the overall vehicle thermal management architecture, according to the cooling medium temperature from low to high, it can be divided into an air-conditioning refrigeration circuit, a low-temperature cooling system, an intake air cooling system and an engine cooling system. The intake air cooling system is a separately arranged cooling circuit, and the EGR cooler is arranged in the engine cooling system to obtain a higher EGR gas temperature and avoid the generation of condensed water.

[0004] However, in the prior art, since the EGR gas is cooled by the engine cooling system, the temperature of the cooled EGR gas is relatively high (about 90 °C), while the intake temperature of the fresh air is usually below 40 °C. After the high-temperature EGR and the fresh air are mixed, the temperature of the air-fuel mixture entering the engine cylinder will be increased, which is not conducive to the combustion of the engine and affects the improvement of the engine thermal efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an intake air cooling system, a thermal management system and a vehicle to improve the engine thermal efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above problems, on the one hand, an embodiment of the utility model provides an intake air cooling system, including a first water pump, a first heat exchanger, an intercooler, an EGR cooler and a flow regulating device.

[0009] According to the intake air cooling system of the present utility model, since the EGR cooler is arranged in the intake air cooling system and connected to the outlet of the liquid flow channel of the intercooler, the EGR gas can be cooled to a lower temperature. The lower temperature of the EGR gas can achieve a greater EGR rate, can reduce the temperature influence of the EGR gas on the mixture gas (the mixture gas of the EGR gas and fresh air).

[0073] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present utility model clearer, the following further details the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0074] As Figure 1 shown, an intake air cooling system 1 provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a first water pump 11, a first heat exchanger 12, an intercooler 13, an EGR cooler 14 and a flow regulating device 15. The first water pump 11, the first heat exchanger 12, the intercooler 13, the EGR cooler 14 and the flow regulating device 15 are connected in sequence to form a first cooling circuit; wherein, the flow regulating device 15 is connected between the first water pump 11 and the EGR cooler 14; the first heat exchanger 12 is used to cool the coolant flowing out of the first water pump 11; the flow regulating device 15 is used to adjust the coolant flow rate flowing out of the flow regulating device 15 according to the temperature of the coolant flowing into the flow regulating device 15; wherein, within a preset temperature range, the higher the temperature of the coolant flowing into the flow regulating device 15, the greater the coolant flow rate flowing out of the flow regulating device 15.

[0075] According to the intake air cooling system of the present utility model, since the EGR cooler 14 is arranged in the intake air cooling system 1 and connected to the outlet of the liquid flow path of the intercooler 13, the EGR gas can be cooled to a lower temperature. The lower EGR gas temperature can achieve a greater EGR rate, can reduce the temperature influence of the EGR gas on the mixture gas (the mixture gas of the EGR gas and fresh air), and the lower mixture gas temperature has better charging efficiency, which is beneficial to improving in-cylinder combustion and increasing the thermal efficiency of the engine.

[0076] In addition, the flow rate regulating device 15 can adjust the flow rate of the coolant flowing out of the flow rate regulating device 15 according to the temperature of the coolant flowing into the flow rate regulating device 15. When the temperature of the coolant flowing into the flow rate regulating device 15 is relatively low, the flow rate of the coolant flowing out of the flow rate regulating device 15 is small (i.e., the opening degree of the flow rate regulating device 15 is small), so as to maintain the temperature of the coolant in the first cooling circuit at a relatively high temperature as much as possible, reduce the liquid flow rate of the intercooler 13 and the EGR cooler 14, avoid the temperature of the air-fuel mixture cooled by the intercooler 13 and the EGR gas cooled by the EGR cooler 14 from being too low, avoid engine stalling caused by a large amount of condensed water precipitated from the EGR gas, and at the same time avoid the corrosion of the EGR valve caused by the generation of a large amount of condensed water.

[0077] In one embodiment, the flow rate regulating device 15 is a first thermostat. The first thermostat can be a wax thermostat or an electric heating thermostat. For example, when a wax thermostat is used, when the temperature of the coolant at the inlet of the wax thermostat is lower than a specified value, the paraffin in the temperature sensing body of the wax thermostat is in a solid state, and the valve of the wax thermostat closes the internal flow passage under the action of a spring. When the temperature of the coolant at the inlet of the wax thermostat reaches the specified value, the paraffin begins to melt and gradually becomes a liquid. The larger the volume of the melted paraffin, the larger the opening degree of the valve. In this embodiment, the above preset temperature range is the temperature change range of the coolant when the opening degree of the first thermostat is from the minimum to the full open.

[0078] In another embodiment, the flow rate regulating device 15 can also be an electromagnetic proportional control valve. At this time, it needs to be used in combination with a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor detects the temperature at the inlet of the electromagnetic proportional control valve. Within the preset temperature range, the higher the temperature of the coolant flowing into the electromagnetic proportional control valve, the larger the opening degree of the electromagnetic proportional control valve, and the larger the flow rate of the coolant flowing out of the electromagnetic proportional control valve. In this embodiment, the above preset temperature range is the temperature change range of the coolant when the opening degree of the electromagnetic proportional control valve is from the minimum to the full open.

[0080] In one embodiment, the second gas flow channel is communicated between the cylinder inner cavity of the engine and the air supercharger of the engine intake system, so as to be able to cool the mixture supercharged by the air supercharger and supply the cooled mixture into the cylinder. That is, in this embodiment, the engine has an intake supercharging function.

[0081] In one embodiment, a first water tank 16 is further included, and the first water tank 16 is used to supply coolant to the intake cooling system 1.

The first throttle hole 171 is used to reduce the coolant flowing into the first water tank 16 through the first overflow pipe 17 when there are no bubbles at the (liquid) outlet of the intercooler 3, so as to ensure the cooling flow requirement of the first cooling circuit. The first overflow pipe 17 can be made of a flexible hose. A clamp can be used to connect between the flexible hose and the rigid pipe.

[0084] In one embodiment, a second overflow pipe 18 is further included. The second overflow pipe 18 is connected between the outlet of the second liquid flow path and the water return port of the first water tank 16.

A second throttle hole 181 is provided on the second overflow pipe 18. The second throttle hole 181 is used to reduce the coolant flowing into the first water tank 16 through the second overflow pipe 18 when there are no bubbles at the (liquid) outlet of the EGR cooler 4, so as to ensure the cooling flow requirement of the first cooling circuit. The first overflow pipe 18 can be made of a hose. A clamp can be used to connect the hose and the hard pipe.

[0085] In one embodiment, a first three-way pipe 19 and a third overflow pipe 110 are further included.

The water return port of the first water tank 16 is connected to the third interface of the first three-way pipe 19.

[0086] In one embodiment, a heating component cooling device is further included. The first water pump 11, the first heat exchanger 12 and the heating component cooling device are connected in sequence to form a second cooling circuit. Among them, the heating component cooling device is connected between the inlet of the first water pump 11 and the second outlet of the first heat exchanger 12. The first outlet and the second outlet of the first heat exchanger 12 are two independent outlets. That is, the first heat exchanger 12 has one inlet and two outlets. The heating component cooling device is used to cool at least one of the transmission, the on-vehicle charger, the motor controller and the DC-DC converter. In this way, the intake air cooling system 1 includes two cooling circuits, and the two cooling circuits share the first water pump 11, which can reduce the number of components and the cost of the whole vehicle.

[0087] In one embodiment, the transmission is a mechatronic coupler.

[0090] The intercooler 3 is a gas / liquid heat exchanger. Its main purpose is to cool the high-temperature mixed gas after the fresh air and the EGR gas are combined to an appropriate temperature according to the engine operating conditions, and then enter the engine cylinder to participate in combustion.

The second heat exchanger 114 is connected between the second outlet of the first heat exchanger 12 and the inlet of the heat generating component cooling device. The heat exchange amount of the second heat exchanger 114 is less than that of the first heat exchanger 12. The second heat exchanger 114 is used to cool the coolant flowing out of the second opening of the first heat exchanger 12, so that the temperature of the coolant flowing out of the second heat exchanger 114 is lower than the temperature of the coolant flowing out of the first outlet of the first heat exchanger 12. That is, the second heat exchanger 114 is used to further cool the coolant cooled by the first heat exchanger 12 to meet the lower coolant temperature requirements of the on-vehicle charger cooling flow channel 111, the motor controller cooling flow channel 112, and the transmission cooler 113 in the second cooling circuit, so as to better cool the on-vehicle charger, the motor controller cooling flow channel, the DC-DC converter, and the transmission.

[0093] In one embodiment, a first four-way valve 115 is further included. The first four-way valve 115 has a first liquid inlet, a second liquid inlet, a third liquid inlet, and a first liquid outlet. The first liquid inlet is connected to the outlet of the flow rate regulating device 15, the second liquid inlet is connected to the outlet of the heat generating component cooling device (transmission cooler 113), the third liquid inlet is connected to the water outlet of the first water tank 16, and the first liquid outlet is connected to the inlet of the first water pump 11.

[0094] In one embodiment, a flow regulating valve 116 is further included. The flow regulating valve 116 is connected between the inlet of the heating component cooling device and the second outlet of the first heat exchanger 12. Specifically, the flow regulating valve 116 is connected between the inlet of the on-vehicle charger cooling flow path 111 and the outlet of the second heat exchanger 114. A temperature sensor is also included, which is used to detect the temperature of the coolant flowing into the flow regulating valve 116. The flow regulating valve 116 is used to adjust the flow rate of the coolant flowing out from the flow regulating valve 116 to the heating component cooling device (on-vehicle charger cooling flow path 111) according to the temperature of the coolant flowing into the flow regulating valve 116. This temperature sensor can be arranged on the pipeline between the flow regulating valve 116 and the outlet of the second heat exchanger 114. This temperature sensor is used to monitor the coolant temperature of the second cooling loop. The flow rate at the outlet of the flow regulating valve 116 can be adjusted according to the cooling requirements of the vehicle operating conditions. Specifically, the flow rate at the outlet of the flow regulating valve 116 is adjusted according to the coolant temperature T detected by the temperature sensor. For example, when the temperature T≥60°C (which can be calibrated according to the actual requirements of the vehicle), the flow regulating valve 116 is fully open; when T<30°C (which can be calibrated according to the actual requirements of the vehicle), the flow regulating valve 116 maintains a minimum opening value of 20%; when 30°C≤T<60°C, the flow rate at the outlet of the flow regulating valve 116 is controlled in a linear interpolation manner. After the coolant flows out from the outlet of the flow regulating valve 116, the pipeline guides the coolant into the on-vehicle charger cooling flow path, and then uses the pipeline to guide the low-temperature coolant to the motor controller cooling flow path, thereby realizing the cooling of the motor controller and the DC-DC converter. Then, the coolant is introduced into the liquid channel in the transmission cooler through the pipeline. The transmission cooler is a liquid / liquid heat exchanger, and its main function is to use the low-temperature coolant to cool the transmission lubricating oil to ensure that the moving parts (such as gear sets) of the transmission will not be damaged due to "dry friction".

[0096] In other embodiments, it is also possible that the flow regulating valve 116 is a two-way valve, that is, the battery cooling system 2 is not connected in series with the flow regulating valve 116.
