When using gasoline vehicles, engine exhaust leaks are inevitable. These leaks not only pollute the environment but can also affect vehicle performance and driver safety. After a certain number of years of use, gasoline vehicles may experience engine exhaust leaks. The generation of toxic gases outside the exhaust pipe not only indicates a malfunction and affects the vehicle's normal operation but also negatively impacts the environment.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0036] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle gas detection system for detecting the content of toxic gases inside the vehicle's hood. The system includes: a battery 100, a gas sensing unit 200, and a digital potentiometer 300. The battery 100 is mounted inside the vehicle's hood and is used to power onboard electrical appliances. The gas sensing unit 200 is electrically connected to the battery 100 and is used to detect the content of toxic gases inside the vehicle's hood. The digital potentiometer 300 is electrically connected to the gas sensing unit 200 and is configured to receive and display the toxic gas content data detected by the gas sensing unit 200. A microcontroller 400 and an alarm module 500 are also included. The microcontroller 400 is electrically connected to both the digital potentiometer 300 and the alarm module 500, and is configured to read the toxic gas content data received by the digital potentiometer 300 and control the alarm module 500 to sound an alarm or stop sounding an alarm.

[0038] When toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), are produced under the vehicle hood, the gas sensing unit 200 can communicate with the microcontroller 400 when there is a certain concentration of toxic gas. The microcontroller 400 can then trigger the alarm module 500 to issue an alarm, reminding the driver that toxic gases have been produced under the vehicle hood.

[0039] In this embodiment, the gas sensing unit 200 can detect the content of toxic gas inside the vehicle hood in real time and display it through the digital potentiometer 300 to intuitively obtain the concentration of toxic gas inside the vehicle hood; when the gas sensing unit 200 detects toxic gas, the microcontroller 400 can control the alarm module 500 to sound an alarm, so as to remind the driver in time, which is conducive to improving driving safety and ensuring the personal safety of vehicle occupants.

[0040] Meanwhile, this utility model has the ability to obtain the content of toxic gases in real time and provide early warning of toxic gases, which increases the intelligence level of the vehicle.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the gas sensing unit 200 includes a constant potential circuit 210 and a gas sensor 220. The constant potential circuit 210 is electrically connected to the gas sensor 220 and the battery 100 to ensure the constant operating potential of the gas sensor 220. The gas sensor 220 is used to detect the content of toxic gases inside the vehicle's hood, and it is electrically connected to a digital potentiometer 300 so that the digital potentiometer 300 can receive and display the toxic gas content data detected by the gas sensor 220. The constant potential circuit 210 enables the gas sensor 220 to maintain a constant operating potential, which helps ensure the stability and accuracy of the gas sensor 220. The digital potentiometer 300 can display the toxic gas content detected by the gas sensor 220 in real time, allowing users to instantly check the toxic gas content status inside the vehicle's hood, providing real-time monitoring.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the gas sensing unit 200 further includes a circuit switch 230, which is connected to the constant potential circuit 210 and configured to control the on / off state of the constant potential circuit 210, thereby controlling the gas sensor 220 to be powered on or off. The circuit switch 230 allows for convenient control of the gas sensor 220's power supply, enabling users to selectively turn the gas sensor 220 on or off according to detection needs, increasing the flexibility of the vehicle gas detection system.

[0043] The circuit switch 230 can be manually operated by the user. When the vehicle is in an environment with a certain concentration of toxic gas, the gas sensor 220 may detect the toxic gas and trigger the alarm unit. In this case, the user can manually operate the circuit switch 230 to turn off the gas sensor 220, drive the vehicle to a safe environment free of toxic gas, and then manually turn the gas sensor 220 back on to detect whether toxic gas is generated inside the vehicle's hood. If the alarm unit still sounds in a safe environment free of toxic gas, it indicates that toxic gas has been generated inside the car's hood, and the parts inside the hood need repair.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes a user interface 600, which is communicatively connected to the microcontroller 400. The circuit switch 230 is also controllably connected to the microcontroller 400. The user can send control commands to the microcontroller 400 through the user interface 600 to control the on / off state of the circuit switch 230. The user can remotely control the power supply to the gas sensor 220 through the user interface 600, enhancing the controllability and intelligence of the vehicle gas detection system and improving the user experience.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the battery 100 includes a battery cell pack 110 and a battery management module 120. The battery cell pack 110 and the battery management module 120 are controllably connected, and the battery management module 120 is communicatively connected to the gas sensing unit 200. The battery management module 120 is configured to control the battery cell pack 110 to stop discharging when the gas sensing unit 200 detects that the concentration of toxic gas has reached a set value. The battery management module 120 cooperates with the gas sensing unit 200, enabling the battery management module 120 to respond quickly when the gas sensing unit 200 detects toxic gas, controlling the battery cell pack 110 to stop discharging. This prevents the battery cell pack 110 from operating in a toxic gas environment, increases the lifespan of the battery cell pack 110, and improves the reliability of the vehicle detection system. It is worth noting that when the battery cell pack 110 stops discharging, it does not affect the normal operation of the vehicle.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the gas sensing unit 200 further includes a judgment module 240, which is communicatively connected to the battery management module 120. The judgment module 240 is used to determine whether the concentration of toxic gas detected by the gas sensor 220 reaches a set value. By comparing and judging the toxic gas content detected by the gas sensor 220 through the judgment module 240, false alarms from the battery management module 120 can be reduced, improving the accuracy of the vehicle detection system.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the gas sensor 220 is an electrochemical sensor with multiple readable pixels. Electrochemical sensors with multiple readable pixels are characterized by high sensitivity, enabling the detection of various toxic gases and improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of gas detection. As an electrochemical sensor, when there is a sufficient amount of toxic gas inside the car hood, the electrochemical sensor can react and display the toxic gas content information on the digital potentiometer 300, while simultaneously transmitting the toxic gas content information to the microcontroller 400.

[0048] Electrochemical sensors operate by reacting with toxic gases to generate an electrical signal proportional to the gas concentration. They consist of a sensing electrode (or working electrode) and a counter electrode, separated by a thin electrolytic layer. The sensor also incorporates a hydrophobic barrier and an electrolyte. In the electrochemical sensor, the toxic gas first reacts with the sensor through tiny capillary openings, then through the hydrophobic barrier layer, and finally reaches the surface of the sensing electrode. This method allows a sufficient amount of gas to react with the sensing electrode to form a adequate electrical signal while preventing electrolyte leakage. The toxic gas diffuses through the thin electrolytic layer and reacts with the sensing electrode, which can employ either an oxidation or reduction mechanism. These reactions are catalyzed by electrode materials specifically designed for toxic gases.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the alarm module 500 is a light alarm unit, which is installed on the vehicle's dashboard. The light alarm unit alerts the driver through intuitive visual signals, quickly attracting the driver's attention and enabling the driver to take prompt action to avoid personal injury accidents and ensure driving safety.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes a storage module 700, which is communicatively connected to the microcontroller 400 and used to store data on the content of toxic gases detected by the gas sensing unit 200. The storage module 700 can record the data on the content of toxic gases detected by the gas sensing unit 200 in real time, providing a reliable basis for data analysis and traceability in subsequent vehicle maintenance, and facilitating maintenance personnel to quickly troubleshoot and locate faults.

[0051] This embodiment also provides a vehicle equipped with any of the vehicle gas detection systems described above. Equipping the vehicle gas detection system enables the driver to promptly detect the presence of toxic gases inside the vehicle's hood, further ensuring vehicle safety during operation, increasing vehicle reliability, and preventing vehicle accidents and occupant injuries.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
