Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the field of automotive engineering, the issue of vehicle operation under high-temperature conditions has always been a key focus for engineers. Especially in hot summers or extreme climates, car engines often overheat due to prolonged operation in high-temperature environments. When the engine temperature is too high, internal components may experience reduced clearance due to thermal expansion and contraction, increasing friction and wear. In severe cases, this can even cause the engine to stop operating, affecting not only driving safety but also increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, static electricity is generated around the engine during driving, attracting dust and impurities from the air, causing them to accumulate on the engine surface and inside. Over time, this accumulated dust not only reduces the engine's cooling efficiency but can also clog cooling channels, further exacerbating the overheating problem. Utility Model Content

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an automotive humidification and cooling system, which is implemented in the following embodiment:
[0026] In some embodiments, an automotive humidification and cooling system includes a cooling component 100 and a humidification component 200. The humidification component 200 can generate low-temperature water mist, which can be directed to the cooling component 100 and the passenger compartment. Directing the water mist into the cooling component 100 also sprays water mist around the engine. The water mist generated by the humidification component 200 is delivered to the area around the car engine, increasing the humidity of the air around the engine. In humid air, water molecules can conduct electricity, which helps neutralize the charge on the surface of objects, thereby reducing the generation of static electricity. Continuous spraying of water mist can maintain the humidity of the air and the surface of the car engine, preventing excessive accumulation of charge, thereby reducing the possibility of electrostatic discharge and achieving a dust removal effect. At the same time, the water mist generated by the humidification component 200 can cool the engine, dissipate heat, and improve the engine's lifespan.
[0027] In addition, the mist generated by humidification can be delivered into the car's cab 300 to increase the humidity inside the cab 300. Since the generated mist is at a low temperature, it will not affect the temperature inside the small cab.
[0028] Specifically, the cooling assembly 100 includes a mounting bracket 110 and a plurality of nozzles 120. The mounting bracket 110 has an engine mounting cavity 111, which is cylindrical or may be of other shapes. The plurality of nozzles 120 are arranged in a ring at intervals on the inner wall of the engine mounting cavity 111. Each nozzle 120 is fixed to the mounting bracket 110 by a quick-release clamp, and a silicone rubber sealing gasket is provided at the clamping point.
[0029] When in use, the engine is installed in the engine mounting cavity 111, and the mist flows more evenly in the space around the engine. This even flow increases the humidity of the air around the car engine. The spray direction of the nozzle 120 extends radially along the engine mounting cavity 111, which also helps the mist flow more evenly in the space around the engine, resulting in better static electricity removal and cooling effects.
[0030] In some other embodiments, the nozzle 120 can be divided into a primary mist outlet and a secondary mist outlet. The primary mist outlet is a conical diffusion structure, including a main body, a flow-dispersing component, and a micropore array. The main body is a hollow cone made of 304 stainless steel, and its pipe connected to the first mist outlet is connected via a flange. The flow-dispersing component includes six spiral guide vanes evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the main body. The guide vanes are 3mm high, have a spiral angle of 30°, and are made of polytetrafluoroethylene. A honeycomb-shaped through hole with a diameter of 0.5mm is provided on the small end face of the cone, with a hole spacing of 1.2mm, arranged in a hexagonal close-packed pattern. The secondary auxiliary mist outlet 130 has an adjustable angle nozzle, whose outlet axis forms a 15° angle with the primary mist outlet. The nozzle has a built-in piezoelectric ceramic drive mechanism, which can automatically deflect within a range of ±10° based on feedback from the humidity sensor.
[0031] When the humidity in the mounting cavity is detected to be lower than the set threshold, the control system activates the oscillation mode of the secondary auxiliary mist outlet 130 at a frequency of 2Hz, causing the mist to form a standing wave oscillation within the cavity. Actual measurements show that this design improves humidity stability.
[0032] The humidification assembly 200 also includes a plurality of auxiliary mist outlets 130, which are located at the end of the engine mounting cavity 111 and are connected to the first mist outlet to create a mist disturbance effect.
[0033] The humidification assembly 200 includes a humidification body 210 and an atomizing plate 220. The humidification body 210 has an atomizing groove 211, and the atomizing plate 220 is disposed in the atomizing groove 211. The upper side wall of the atomizing groove 211 has an atomizing outlet 212 and an air outlet 213. The air outlet 213 is equipped with a fan, which drives the mist to flow out from the atomizing outlet into other spaces. The atomizing outlet 212 and the air outlet 213 are arranged opposite to each other, which is conducive to the fan carrying away the mist effectively. To further improve the mist disturbance effect, the air outlet 213 has an air outlet channel, which is arranged towards the atomizing groove 211 to increase mist disturbance and better blow the mist in the humidification body 210. The airflow direction is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0034] The atomizing tank 211 is equipped with a cooling unit 215, and the atomizing plates 220 are disposed in the atomizing tank 211. Multiple atomizing plates 220 are provided, evenly spaced apart in the atomizing tank 211. The amount of atomization can be controlled by adjusting the number of atomizing plates 220, allowing for flexible generation of different levels of atomization to precisely meet diverse humidity requirements of users.
[0035] In order for the humidifying component 200 to produce lower temperature mist, the humidifying component 200 is provided with a cooling unit 215, which is located in the atomizing tank 211 and can cool the atomizing liquid to facilitate the production of low temperature mist.
[0036] The humidifier body 210 is equipped with a water inlet 214, and the water inlet 214 is equipped with a water filling valve 216. The water tank 230 is connected to the water inlet 214. The opening and closing of the water filling valve 216 is controlled by the control system, realizing an automated water filling process. This not only simplifies operation but also greatly improves humidification efficiency and user experience. The automatic water filling function ensures that the water level in the water tank 230 is always maintained at the optimal level, avoiding humidification interruption due to water shortage and reducing the number of times manual water filling is required. The atomizing tank (211) is equipped with a liquid level sensor (217).
[0037] The atomizing tank 211 is equipped with a temperature sensor and a liquid level sensor 217. The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the water in the atomizing tank 211 and adjusts the working power of the cooling unit 215 as needed. The liquid level sensor 217 measures the water level in the atomizing tank 211 and can be used in conjunction with the water filling valve 216 to automatically add water.
[0038] The humidification component 200 is provided with a first mist outlet and a second mist outlet. The first mist outlet, the second mist outlet, and the atomization outlet 212 are connected by a T-joint. Alternatively, the atomization outlet 212 is connected to a main pipe. The main pipe is connected to the first mist outlet and the second mist outlet by a T-joint. The main pipe may be provided with a third control valve 160 to control the total flow rate.
[0039] The first mist outlet is connected to multiple nozzles 120 via a first pipe, and the second mist outlet is connected to the vehicle cab 300 via a second pipe. The first pipe is equipped with a first control valve 140, and the second pipe is equipped with a second control valve 150. The amount of mist generated in the vehicle cab 300 and the engine mounting cavity 111 can be controlled by the first control valve 140 and the second control valve 150, respectively.
[0040] The second pipe can be a flexible hose, which is spirally coiled on the mounting bracket 110. This layout not only saves space and simplifies pipe connections, but also facilitates the even distribution of the nozzles 120, ensuring sufficient humidification in every corner. Each nozzle 120 is fixed to the mounting bracket 110 by a quick-release clamp, with a silicone rubber sealing gasket at the clamp. In some other embodiments, the nozzle 120 has a connector, which is fixed to a mounting base. The mounting base is fixed to the mounting bracket 110 by screws, ensuring the stability of the nozzle 120. The nozzle 120 is connected to the flexible hose, and the side wall of the flexible hose is also connected to the nozzle 120 via a connector. This connection method is both simple and secure, greatly simplifying the installation and disassembly process.
[0041] In some more complex embodiments, to meet broader or more precise humidification needs, a scheme is designed in which multiple second pipes are simultaneously connected to a second mist outlet. Each pipe is responsible for accurately delivering the mist to the designated location, thereby ensuring the high efficiency and reliability of the entire humidification system.
[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
