[0002] The air intake buffer tank is also called air intake air tank or air storage tank, and is mainly used for the air intake system of an automobile engine. The air intake buffer tank stores and manages air, and when the engine needs more air, the air in the air intake buffer tank is released into the air intake system through a pressure difference. When the air intake pressure is too high, the air intake buffer tank can absorb part of the air, thereby reducing the pressure fluctuation in the system.
[0003] The air intake buffer tank acts as a regulator in the entire air intake process, helping to maintain a stable air supply. During use, the pressure in the air intake buffer tank may fluctuate, affecting the flow and compression efficiency of the gas. At the same time, the change in temperature in the air intake buffer tank also affects the density and volume of the gas, resulting in unstable gas supply, which in turn affects the normal operation of the engine air intake system.
[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides an air intake buffer tank of cooling and pressure increasing to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0007] Further, in the utility model, the output ends of the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor are connected to the input end of the microcontroller, and the input ends of the heater and the air compressor are connected to the output end of the microcontroller.
[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, a sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the mounting groove, and the right side of the fixing plate is in close contact with the left side of the sealing gasket.
[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the upper and lower ends of the left side of the air intake buffer tank body are movably connected to rotating plates via movable pins, and hollow blocks are fixedly connected to the sides of the two rotating plates that are close to each other.

[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figures 1-5The image shows the first embodiment of this utility model. This embodiment provides a cooling and pressurizing intake buffer tank, including an intake buffer tank body 1. A fixing frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the intake buffer tank body 1, and support legs 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the intake buffer tank body 1. A control unit 4 is provided in the inner cavity of the intake buffer tank body 1. The control unit 4 includes an air compressor 401, which is located on top of the fixing frame 2 and fixedly connected to the fixing frame 2. The exhaust port of the air compressor 401 is fixedly connected to the intake buffer tank body 1. A pressure sensor 402 is fixedly connected to the left side of the front of the air intake buffer tank body 1. An installation groove 403 is provided on the left side of the air intake buffer tank body 1. A fixing plate 404 is detachably connected to the inner cavity of the installation groove 403. A heater 405 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing plate 404. A temperature sensor 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the air intake buffer tank body 1. The probes of the pressure sensor 402 and the temperature sensor 406 both extend into the inner cavity of the air intake buffer tank body 1. A microcontroller 407 is fixedly connected to the front of the air intake buffer tank body 1 and to the right of the pressure sensor 402.
[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 is used to support and fix the air compressor 401, and the pressure sensor 402 is used to detect the air pressure inside the intake buffer tank body 1. When the air pressure inside the intake buffer tank body 1 is detected to be outside the safe range, the microcontroller 407 can start the air compressor 401 to pressurize the gas and quantitatively introduce the gas into the intake buffer tank body 1 to achieve the purpose of regulating the air pressure. The pressure sensor 402 monitors the pressure inside the intake buffer tank body 1 in real time to ensure that it operates within the set safe range, thereby preventing the gas flow and compression efficiency from being affected by pressure fluctuations. The temperature sensor 406 is used to detect the temperature inside the intake buffer tank body 1. When the temperature is lower than the preset value of the microcontroller 407, the microcontroller 407 can activate the heater 405 to heat the inside of the intake buffer tank body 1 until the temperature reaches the preset value of the microcontroller 407, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the intake buffer tank body 1 within a certain range, ensuring a stable gas supply, and preventing it from affecting the normal operation of the engine intake system. The pressure sensor 402 is a platinum resistance temperature sensor PT100, the temperature sensor 406 is a K-type thermocouple Omega K-type, and the microcontroller 407 is a TC-05B.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] Reference Figure 1 , 4 5, is the second embodiment of this utility model, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0027] In this embodiment, the output terminals of pressure sensor 402 and temperature sensor 406 are both connected to the input terminal of microcontroller 407, and the input terminals of heater 405 and air compressor 401 are both connected to the output terminal of microcontroller 407.
[0028] The inner cavity of the mounting groove 403 is fixedly connected with a sealing gasket 5, and the right side of the fixing plate 404 is in close contact with the left side of the sealing gasket 5.
[0029] The upper and lower ends of the left side of the intake buffer tank body 1 are movably connected to rotating plates 6 by movable pins. Hollow blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the side of the two rotating plates 6 that are close to each other. An extrusion block 8 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow block 7.
[0030] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the sealing gasket 5 is used to seal the gap between the mounting groove 403 and the fixing plate 404 to prevent air leakage. At the same time, under the squeezing action of the squeezing block 8, it can ensure that the fixing plate 404 and the sealing gasket 5 are tightly attached, thereby further enhancing the sealing effect. The rotating plate 6 is used to support the hollow block 7. By rotating the rotating plate 6, the position of the hollow block 7 can be adjusted so that the heater 405 can be disassembled and repaired.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] Reference Figure 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0033] In this embodiment, a compression spring 9 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the hollow block 7 via a bearing. The end of the compression spring 9 away from the inner wall of the hollow block 7 is fixedly connected to the extrusion block 8. A pull rod 10 is provided on the left side of the hollow block 7. The right end of the pull rod 10 passes through the inner cavity of the hollow block 7 and is fixedly connected to the extrusion block 8.
[0034] The top and bottom of the hollow block 7 are provided with positioning grooves 11, and the top and bottom of the extrusion block 8 are fixedly connected with positioning blocks 12. One side of the positioning block 12 extends into the inner cavity of the positioning groove 11 and is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning groove 11.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the return force of the compression spring 9 can apply pressure to the right on the pressing block 8 so that it can press the fixing plate 404 and make it fit tightly against the sealing gasket 5. When the heater 405 needs to be disassembled and maintained, by pulling the pull rod 10, the pressing block 8 can be moved to the left to release the pressing state on the fixing plate 404. At this time, the hollow block 7 can be removed from the left side of the fixing plate 404 by rotating it, and the fixing plate 404 can be disassembled.
[0036] In operation, pressure sensor 402 detects the internal air pressure of the intake buffer tank 1. When the detected internal air pressure is outside the safe range, microcontroller 407 activates air compressor 401. Air compressor 401 pressurizes the gas and quantitatively introduces it into the intake buffer tank 1 to regulate the air pressure. Pressure sensor 402 monitors the internal pressure of the intake buffer tank 1 in real time to ensure operation within the set safe range, thereby preventing pressure fluctuations from affecting gas flow and compression efficiency. Temperature sensor 406 detects the internal temperature of the intake buffer tank 1. When the temperature is lower than that detected by microcontroller... When the preset value of 407 is reached, the microcontroller 407 can start the heater 405, which heats the inside of the intake buffer tank body 1 until the temperature reaches the preset value of the microcontroller 407, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the intake buffer tank body 1 within a certain range, ensuring a stable gas supply, and preventing it from affecting the normal operation of the engine intake system. When the heater 405 needs to be removed for maintenance, first pull the lever 10. By pulling the lever 10, the compression block 8 can be moved to the left, releasing the compression state on the fixing plate 404. At this time, the hollow block 7 can be removed from the left side of the fixing plate 404 by rotation, and the fixing plate 404 can be disassembled.
