Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a crankcase ventilation monitoring tube. Background Technology

[0002] The crankcase is a crucial component of the engine, located at the bottom of the cylinder block, primarily used to mount the crankshaft. GB18352.6-2016 "Emission Limits and Measurement Methods for Pollutants from Light-Duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)" and GB17691-2018 "Emission Limits and Measurement Methods for Pollutants from Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicles (China VI)" clearly define that the crankcase ventilation system must ensure the integrity of its piping. If a vehicle uses a ventilation system, the manufacturer must monitor the system to ensure its integrity. Furthermore, it is explicitly stipulated that piping used for ventilation of different areas of the engine is also part of the ventilation system and should be subject to fault diagnosis as required. Non-removable structures are exempt; for parts that cannot be exempted, ventilation system fault diagnosis is mandatory to ensure the integrity of the ventilation system and to promptly monitor its condition.

[0003] In existing technologies, conventional diagnostic solutions mainly include pressure sensor solutions and quick-connect coupling solutions. The pressure sensor solution uses a micro-pressure sensor to detect pressure differences within the pipeline to determine if the pipeline has detached. In this solution, because the internal pressure is low (between -5KPa and 0KPa), strict diagnostic strategies can easily lead to false alarms, while broad settings render the diagnostic ineffective. The quick-connect coupling solution incorporates an energized switch within the coupling. Insertion of the male connector mechanically pushes an internal push rod, triggering the energized switch to activate the detection circuit, resulting in different voltage values ​​to determine if the pipeline connector has detached. This method is more direct and reliable; the stability of the mechanical structure ensures that as long as the connector remains connected, the detection circuit will continue to conduct, and the output voltage will remain constant, eliminating the risk of false alarms. However, current conventional monitoring tubes based on quick-connect coupling solutions still require improvement, particularly in monitoring functionality and ease of connection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to design a crankcase ventilation monitoring tube with more complete monitoring functions and more convenient and reliable connection.

[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A crankcase ventilation monitoring tube includes a molded rubber hose, a protective sleeve, a locking sleeve, a heating monitoring connector A, a monitoring connector B, a connecting wire harness, and a monitoring resistance module. The protective sleeve is located outside the molded rubber hose. One end of the molded rubber hose is connected to the heating monitoring connector A via the locking sleeve, and the other end of the molded rubber hose is connected to the monitoring connector B via the locking sleeve. A connecting wire harness is connected between the monitoring connector B and the heating monitoring connector A, and a monitoring resistance module is installed on the connecting wire harness.

[0007] Preferably, both heating monitoring connector A and monitoring connector B are provided with electrical connectors, and both ends of the connecting wire harness are connected to the electrical connectors.

[0008] Preferably, electrical connectors are provided on both sides of the monitoring resistor module, and the monitoring resistor module is connected to the connecting wire harness through the electrical connectors on both sides.

[0009] Preferably, the heating monitoring connector A has a housing on the outside, a heat dissipation pipe passes through the housing, a first built-in monitoring switch is provided between the housing and the heat dissipation pipe, a heating electrical plug is provided on the outside, and a built-in PTC heating element is provided inside the heating monitoring connector A.

[0010] Preferably, the monitoring connector B has a housing on the outside, and a second built-in monitoring switch is provided between the housing and the molding tube.

[0011] Preferably, the monitoring resistor module has a monitoring resistor module housing on the outside, a built-in monitoring resistor component inside the monitoring resistor module, and a monitoring function electrical plug-in on the outside of the monitoring resistor module.

[0012] This invention employs a switch-type quick-connect connector structure. When the male connector is inserted into the female connector, the switch-type diagnostic connector in the female connector changes from an open state to a closed state. Diagnostic method: In the closed state, if the ECU detects a specific voltage and detects other voltages, an alarm is triggered. This invention has multiple diagnostic functions; it can output different resistances for diagnosis when diagnostic connector A is open, diagnostic connector B is open, both connectors are open simultaneously, or the wiring harness is short-circuited or open-circuited. The heater ensures that icing does not occur at the connection between the ventilation duct and the intake pipe. This invention has more comprehensive diagnostic functions, stable and reliable operation, and outstanding technical advantages. Attached Figure Description
