Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to an engine intake system and a vehicle having the engine intake system. Background Technology

[0002] In extremely humid environments, the significantly increased moisture content in the air reduces the oxygen ratio in the air-fuel mixture entering the engine combustion chamber, affecting fuel combustion efficiency and consequently causing a decrease in engine power and torque. High humidity can also cause ignition difficulties, unstable combustion, and even false alarms from sensors or corrosion of components. However, this phenomenon is greatly influenced by engine technology, intake structure, and control strategies. While engines can dynamically adjust the air-fuel ratio through control modules to partially mitigate the effects of humidity, performance degradation under sustained high humidity conditions is still difficult to completely avoid, leaving room for improvement. Utility Model Content

To this end, this invention proposes an engine intake system that adsorbs moisture in the gas by adjusting the adsorption section of the adsorption channel in the housing, ensuring the dryness of the gas entering the engine.

After the adsorption part in the adsorption channel is saturated with moisture, the adjusting element can be moved relative to the adjusting housing to switch to the desorption channel. The moisture in the adsorption part is desorbed by high temperature gas, thereby realizing the regeneration of the adsorption part. In this way, the continuous dehumidification of the gas and the continuous regeneration of the adsorption part are realized, stabilizing the intake oxygen concentration of the engine and ensuring the power performance of the engine in high humidity environments.

[0023] In extremely humid environments, the moisture content in the air increases significantly, leading to a decrease in the oxygen ratio in the air-fuel mixture entering the combustion chamber of engine 2. This affects fuel combustion efficiency and consequently reduces the power and torque of engine 2. High humidity can also cause ignition difficulties, unstable combustion, and even false alarms from sensors or corrosion of components. However, this phenomenon is greatly influenced by engine 2 technology, intake structure, and control strategies. Engine 2 can dynamically adjust the air-fuel ratio through the control module to partially mitigate the impact of humidity. However, performance degradation under continuous high humidity conditions is still difficult to completely avoid. Based on this, this utility model proposes an engine intake system 100. By adjusting the adsorption section 321 of the adsorption channel 311 of the housing 31 to adsorb moisture in the gas, the dryness of the gas entering engine 2 is ensured. After the adsorption section 321 in the adsorption channel 311 is saturated with moisture, it can be switched to the desorption channel 312. The moisture in the adsorption section 321 is desorbed by high-temperature gas, thereby regenerating the adsorption section 321. In this way, continuous dehumidification of the gas and continuous regeneration of the adsorption section 321 are achieved, stabilizing the intake oxygen concentration of engine 2 and ensuring the power performance of engine 2 under high humidity conditions.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the intake system 100 of the engine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an air filter assembly 1, an engine 2, and a humidity regulating assembly 3.

[0025] The air filter assembly 1 includes an air filter exhaust structure 11, which is selectively connected to the engine 2. The humidity control assembly 3 includes an adjustment housing 31 and an adjustment member 32. The adjustment housing 31 has a separated adsorption channel 311 and a desorption channel 312. The adsorption channel 311 is adapted to selectively connect between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2. The desorption channel 312 is connected to the heat source 4. The adjustment member 32 includes two adsorption parts 321. The adjustment member 32 is movably installed in the adjustment housing 31 so that one of the two adsorption parts 321 switches to the adsorption channel 311 and the other switches to the desorption channel 312.

[0026] Specifically, the main function of the air filter assembly 1 is to filter impurities. The air filter assembly 1 can be connected to the intake side of the engine 2. In this way, before the gas enters the engine 2, the impurities in the air can be filtered out by the air filter assembly 1, ensuring that clean air enters the engine 2 to participate in combustion. At the same time, it protects the internal parts of the engine 2 from wear and corrosion, improves the stability of the engine 2, and extends the service life of the engine 2.

[0027] The air filter exhaust structure 11 can be located downstream of the air filter assembly 1, so that the clean gas filtered by the air filter assembly 1 is discharged from the air filter exhaust structure 11. The air filter exhaust structure 11 is selectively connected to the engine 2, that is, the air filter exhaust structure 11 can be connected to the engine 2, or the air filter exhaust structure 11 can be disconnected from the engine 2. In this case, when the air filter exhaust structure 11 is connected to the engine 2, the clean gas at the air filter exhaust structure 11 can enter the engine 2 and participate in combustion in the engine 2. When the air filter exhaust structure 11 is disconnected from the engine 2, the clean gas at the air filter exhaust structure 11 does not enter the engine 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the air filter is an air purifier. The air filter assembly 1 also includes an air filter intake structure 12 and an air filter structure 13. The air filter intake structure 12, the air filter structure 13, and the air filter exhaust structure 11 are connected sequentially along the intake direction, allowing external gas to enter the air filter intake structure 12, the air filter structure 13, and the air filter exhaust structure 11 in sequence, thereby achieving the filtration of external gas.

[0029] The main function of the humidity regulating component 3 is to regulate the humidity of the air. The humidity regulating component 3 includes an regulating housing 31 and an regulating element 32. The regulating housing 31 is a supporting and protective structure for the humidity regulating component 3 and provides installation space for the regulating element 32 and other structures. An adsorption channel 311 and a desorption channel 312 are formed inside the regulating housing 31. At least part of the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 are cavities, both used for gas flow. The adsorption channel 311 can be selectively connected between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2, that is, the adsorption channel 311 can be set at the air filter exhaust structure. The air filter exhaust structure 11 is connected to the engine 2 via the adsorption channel 311, or the adsorption channel 311 is not connected to the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2. In this way, when the adsorption channel 311 connects the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2, the clean gas at the air filter exhaust structure 11 can enter the adsorption channel 311 and enter the engine 2 to participate in combustion. When the adsorption channel 311 is not connected to the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2, the clean gas at the air filter exhaust structure 11 does not enter the adsorption channel 311.

[0030] In other words, a humidity regulating component 3 is connected in parallel between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2. In this way, the clean gas at the air filter exhaust structure 11 can directly enter the engine 2, or the clean gas at the air filter exhaust structure 11 can pass through the humidity regulating component 3 before entering the engine 2.

[0031] The adsorption channel 311 absorbs moisture from the gas, while the desorption channel 312 is connected to the heat source 4, allowing hot air to enter the desorption channel 312 and desorb moisture from the regulating member 32. The regulating member 32 includes two adsorption sections 321, both of which adsorb moisture. The regulating member 32 is movably mounted on the regulating housing 31, meaning it can be located within the housing and can move relative to it. This movement can be rotational. During this movement, one of the adsorption sections 321 can switch to the adsorption channel 311, and the other can switch to the desorption channel 312, allowing the two adsorption sections 321 to switch between the two channels.

[0032] When the adsorption channel 311 is connected between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2, the gas discharged from the air filter exhaust structure 11 enters the adsorption channel 311. The adsorption part 321 in the adsorption channel 311 can adsorb the moisture in the gas. The dried gas after dehydration enters the engine 2. In this way, the humidity of the gas entering the engine 2 in a high humidity environment can be reduced. When the adsorption section 321 in the adsorption channel 311 is saturated with moisture, the adjusting member 32 is moved relative to the adjusting housing 31, allowing the adsorption section 321 in the adsorption channel 311 to switch to the desorption channel 312, and the adsorption section 321 in the desorption channel 312 to switch to the adsorption channel 311. In this way, the adsorption section 321 in the adsorption channel 311 can continue to adsorb moisture in the gas to ensure that the gas entering the engine 2 is dry gas. At the same time, the hot air flow from the heat source 4 flows into the desorption channel 312, and when the hot air flow comes into contact with the water-saturated adsorption section 321 in the desorption channel 312, the water in the adsorption section 321 can be heated, and the water can be discharged in the form of water vapor. This desorbs the water vapor in the adsorption section 321 in the desorption channel 312, so that the adsorption section 321 returns to a dry state.

[0033] The adsorption section 321 can be filled with adsorption materials such as silica gel and sponge. The silica gel has a large number of uniformly distributed micropores. These micropores form countless tiny capillaries. When humid air enters the adsorption section 321, water molecules are drawn into the pores through the capillary action when the silica gel comes into contact with the humid air. This is similar to a sponge absorbing water, which can ensure the dryness of the gas on the intake side of the engine.

[0034] According to the engine intake system 100 of this utility model embodiment, a humidity regulating component 3 is provided between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2. The humidity regulating component 3 includes an adjusting element 32 and an adjusting housing 31. When the gas moisture content of the air filter exhaust structure 11 is high, the gas is passed into the adsorption channel 311 of the adjusting housing 31 for moisture adsorption, ensuring the dryness of the gas entering the engine 2. After the adsorption part 321 in the adsorption channel 311 is saturated with moisture, the adjusting element 32 can be moved relative to the adjusting housing 31 to the desorption channel 312. The moisture in the adsorption part 321 is desorbed by high temperature gas, thereby realizing the regeneration of the adsorption part 321. In this way, by the continuous movement of the adjusting element 32 relative to the adjusting housing 31, the gas is continuously dehumidified and the adsorption part 321 is continuously regenerated, stabilizing the intake oxygen concentration of the engine 2, avoiding the reduction in combustion efficiency and power loss caused by excessive humidity. Moreover, by continuously working in a cycle, the bottleneck of the traditional intake system's performance limitation in high humidity environment is broken, effectively ensuring the power performance of the engine 2 in high humidity environment.

[0035] In some embodiments, the adjusting housing 31 is provided with a partition plate 313, which is used to separate the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312. The partition plate 313 extends along the length direction of the adjusting housing 31, and the adjusting member 32 is distributed intersecting with the partition plate 313.

[0036] Specifically, the separator 313 has a separating function; the separator 313 can separate the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a separator 313 can be positioned between the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 to separate them. The separator 313 extends along the length of the regulating housing 31, meaning that the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 are distributed at intervals along the direction intersecting with the separator 313, and both the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 are distributed along the length of the regulating housing 31. Thus, by setting the separator 313, the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 can be integrated into the regulating housing 31, resulting in a high degree of integration and a simple structure.

[0037] The regulating element 32 is arranged to intersect with the partition plate 313, that is, the regulating element 32 intersects with the length direction of the regulating housing 31, and the extension directions of the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 intersect with the regulating element 32. In this way, the gas in the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 can flow to the regulating element 32, thereby increasing the contact area between the gas in the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 and the regulating element 32, and enhancing the adsorption of gas by the regulating element 32 and the desorption of high-temperature gas by the regulating element 32.

[0038] Furthermore, the gas flow direction regulating member 32 in the adsorption channel 311 can absorb the moisture in the gas through one adsorption part 321 of the regulating member 32, thereby achieving dehydration of the gas in the adsorption channel 311. In addition, the high temperature gas flow direction regulating member 32 in the desorption channel 312 can desorb the moisture in the other adsorption part 321 of the regulating member 32.

[0039] The partition plate 313 can support the inner wall of the adjusting housing 31, thereby improving the structural strength of the adjusting housing 31. The partition plate 313 can be detachably connected to the adjusting housing 31 by means of snap-fit ​​or plug-in, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance. Alternatively, the partition plate 313 can be integrally formed with the adjusting housing 31.

[0040] In some embodiments, the humidity regulating component 3 further includes a driving member 33, which is located outside the regulating housing 31 and is poweredly connected to the regulating member 32. The driving member 33 is adapted to drive the two adsorption sections 321 of the regulating member 32 to switch between the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312.

[0041] Specifically, the driving component 33 is a power source. Located outside the regulating housing 31, the driving component 33 occupies space outside the regulating housing 31, reducing its impact on the internal space of the regulating housing 31 and increasing the gas flow space within the regulating housing 31. Furthermore, its location outside the regulating housing 31 facilitates maintenance and installation of the driving component 33. The driving component 33 is also power-connected to the regulating component 32, meaning it can drive the regulating component 32 to rotate relative to the regulating housing 31. During rotation, the two adsorption sections 321 can switch between the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312. Specifically, the driving component 33 can switch one of the two adsorption sections 321 of the regulating component 32 to the adsorption channel 311 and the other to the desorption channel 312, thereby achieving continuous dehydration of the gas within the adsorption channel 311 and desorption of moisture from the adsorption section 321 within the desorption channel 312.

[0042] Thus, the drive unit 33 enables automatic switching between the two adsorption sections 321 in the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312, improving the efficiency and reliability of gas dehumidification and adsorption section 321 regeneration.

[0043] In some embodiments, the driving member 33 is configured as a driving motor, and the adjusting member 32 is configured as a disc. The driving motor is connected to the adjusting member 32 through the output shaft 34, and the driving motor is adapted to drive the adjusting member 32 to rotate relative to the partition plate 313.

[0044] Specifically, the adjusting member 32 is configured as a disc, and the adjusting housing 31 can be configured as a cylindrical structure, that is, the cavity inside the adjusting housing 31 can be a cylindrical cavity. This allows the structure of the adjusting member 32 to be more matched with that of the adjusting housing 31, facilitating the rotation of the adjusting member 32 relative to the adjusting housing 31 in the field. The drive motor is connected to the adjusting member 32 via the output shaft 34, enabling a power connection between the drive motor and the adjusting member 32. The driving force of the drive motor can be transmitted to the adjusting member 32 through the output shaft 34, causing the drive motor to rotate and drive the output shaft 34 and the adjusting member 32 to rotate. This allows the driving member 33 to drive the adjusting member 32 to rotate within the adjusting housing 31. The partition plate 313 is fixedly connected within the adjusting housing 31. Thus, when the adjusting member 32 needs to rotate, the drive motor will drive the adjusting member 32 to rotate relative to the partition plate 313, and will switch one of the two adsorption sections 321 of the adjusting member 32 to the adsorption channel 311 and the other to the desorption channel 312.

[0045] Furthermore, the adjusting member 32 is constructed as a disc, allowing both adsorption portions 321 of the adjusting member 32 to be semi-circular. In this application, the two adsorption portions 321 have the same area; in other embodiments, the two adsorption portions 321 may have different areas. The interior of the two adsorption portions 321 may be filled with silica gel or other adsorbents to adsorb water vapor contained in the gas after it enters the adsorption portion 321. A humidity sensor may be integrated inside the two adsorption portions 321 to monitor whether the adsorbed water vapor is saturated. If saturated, the drive motor outputs torque to the output shaft 34 to drive the adjusting member 32 to rotate.

[0046] The regulating housing 31 has an open end and a closed end. The drive motor is located near the closed end. The extension direction of the motor shaft and output shaft 34 of the drive motor coincides with the extension direction of the partition plate 313. The extension direction of the partition plate 313 is perpendicular to the regulating member 32.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the regulating housing 31 is an open end, facilitating the connection of the adsorption channel 311 to the air filter exhaust structure 11 at the open end of the regulating housing 31. This allows clean gas from the air filter exhaust structure 11 to enter the adsorption channel 311 from the open end. The other end of the regulating housing 31 is a closed end, preventing gas from escaping from the other end of the regulating housing 31. Furthermore... Figure 2As shown, the drive motor is distributed close to the closed end, which allows the drive motor to be installed on one side of the closed end. The closed end facilitates the fixing and installation of the drive motor. The extension direction of the motor shaft and the extension direction of the output shaft 34 of the drive motor coincide with the extension direction of the partition plate 313, so that the driving force of the drive motor can be transmitted from the extension direction of the partition plate 313 to the adjusting member 32. The extension direction of the partition plate 313 is perpendicular to the adjusting member 32. That is, the extension direction of the motor shaft and the extension direction of the output shaft 34 of the drive motor are both perpendicular to the adjusting member 32. In this way, the adjusting member 32 can be sleeved on the output shaft 34, so that the drive motor drives the adjusting member 32 to rotate through the output shaft 34.

[0048] In some embodiments, the partition plate 313 includes a first partition plate 3131 and a second partition plate 3132. The first partition plate 3131 and the second partition plate 3132 are spaced apart and distributed on both sides of the adjusting member 32. The first partition plate 3131 is distributed close to the drive motor. The output shaft 34 is connected to the middle position of the adjusting member 32. A through mounting cavity is formed in the middle of the first partition plate 3131. The output shaft 34 passes through the mounting cavity and is connected to the adjusting member 32.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first partition 3131 and the second partition 3132 are spaced apart along the length of the adjusting housing 31, so that a certain gap is formed between the first partition 3131 and the second partition 3132, which can be used to install the adjusting member 32. The adjusting member 32 is distributed along the extension direction perpendicular to the first partition 3131 and the second partition 3132. In this way, the first partition 3131 and the second partition 3132 are both used to separate the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312, so that the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 on both sides of the adjusting member 32 are independent, and the gas in the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 flows along the set path.

[0050] The first partition 3131 is positioned close to the drive motor, such that the first partition 3131 is close to the closed end of the adjusting housing 31. Figure 3 As shown, the output shaft 34 can be connected to the middle position of the adjusting member 32, and the middle position of the first partition 3131 is provided with a mounting cavity, so that the mounting cavity can be distributed directly opposite the center of the adjusting member 32. The mounting cavity passes through the length direction of the first partition 3131, so that the output shaft 34 can pass through the mounting cavity and connect with the center of the adjusting member 32, thereby realizing the center connection between the driving member 33 and the adjusting member 32.

[0051] Thus, through the above arrangement, the driving force of the drive motor can be transmitted to the middle of the adjusting member 32 through the output shaft 34, making the distribution of driving force in the adjusting member 32 more uniform, improving the rotational stability of the adjusting member 32, and facilitating the improvement of the stability of the continuous rotation of the adjusting member 32. Moreover, the output shaft 34 can be installed through the first partition 3131 without affecting the separation function of the first partition 3131 on the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312, making the structure reasonable and reliable.

[0052] Furthermore, the output shaft 34 can also be positioned outside the middle of the adjusting component 32, allowing for various configuration options that can be tailored to the specific space and requirements.

[0053] In some embodiments, the adsorption channel 311 is provided with a first air inlet 3111 and a first air outlet 3112. The first air inlet 3111 is selectively connected to the air filter exhaust structure 11, and the first air outlet 3112 is connected to the engine 2.

[0054] Specifically, the first air inlet 3111 is used for the inflow of gas, and the first air outlet 3112 is used for the outflow of gas. The first air inlet 3111 is selectively connected to the air filter exhaust structure 11, that is, the adsorption channel 311 can be selectively connected to the air filter exhaust structure 11 through the first air inlet 3111. The first air outlet 3112 is connected to the engine 2, that is, the adsorption channel 311 can be connected to the engine 2 through the first air outlet 3112. In this way, the adsorption channel 311 can be selectively connected between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2 through the first air inlet 3111 and the first air outlet 3112.

[0055] In this way, when the gas in the air filter exhaust structure 11 needs to be dehumidified, the first air inlet 3111 can be connected to the air filter exhaust structure 11. The clean gas in the air filter exhaust structure 11 enters the adsorption channel 311 from the first air inlet 3111, and absorbs water through the adsorption part 321 in the adsorption channel 311. The dry gas after adsorption enters the engine 2 from the first air outlet 3112, so that the dry gas can be delivered to the engine 2.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the desorption channel 312 is provided with a second air inlet 3121 and a second air outlet 3122. The second air inlet 3121 is connected to the heat source 4, and the second air outlet 3122 is connected to the outside atmosphere.

[0057] Specifically, the second air inlet 3121 is used for the inflow of gas, and the second air outlet 3122 is used for the outflow of gas. The second air inlet 3121 is connected to the heat source 4, that is, the desorption channel 312 can be connected to the heat source 4 through the second air inlet 3121, and the second air outlet 3122 is connected to the outside atmosphere, that is, the desorption channel 312 can be connected to the outside atmosphere through the second air outlet 3122. In this way, the desorption channel 312 can be connected between the heat source 4 and the outside atmosphere through the second air inlet 3121 and the second air outlet 3122.

[0058] In this way, when the adsorption section 321 in the desorption channel 312 needs to be dehumidified, the high-temperature gas from the heat source 4 can enter the desorption channel 312 from the second air inlet 3121. The high-temperature gas desorbs the adsorption section 321 in the desorption channel 312, and the gas after desorption of the moisture from the adsorption section 321 flows out of the desorption channel 312 from the second air outlet 3122. This can dry the adsorption section 321 in the desorption channel 312 and regenerate the adsorption section 321, so that the adsorption section 321 can be switched to the adsorption channel 311 to adsorb the gas.

[0059] In some embodiments, the gas flow direction of the adsorption channel 311 is opposite to that of the desorption channel 312. That is, the gas on one side of the adsorption channel 311 can flow from one end of the regulating housing 31 to the other end of the regulating housing 31, and the gas on one side of the desorption channel 312 can flow from the other end of the regulating housing 31 to one end of the regulating housing 31. The opposite gas flow direction of the adsorption channel 311 and the desorption channel 312 allows the air inlet end of the adsorption channel 311 to be close to the air filter exhaust structure 11, and the exhaust end of the adsorption channel 311 to be close to the engine 2. This facilitates the introduction of humid gas into the adsorption channel 311 for adsorption, and the adsorbed dry gas can flow towards the engine 2, which is beneficial for the gas to enter the engine 2. The air inlet end of the desorption channel 312 can be close to the engine 2, which facilitates the connection of the air inlet end of the desorption channel 312 to the heat source 4, and allows the high-temperature gas from the heat source 4 to be quickly introduced into the desorption channel 312.

[0060] Among them, one adsorption part 321 of the adjusting member 32 is located between the first air inlet 3111 and the first air outlet 3112, and the other adsorption part 321 is located between the second air inlet 3121 and the second air outlet 3122.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, one adsorption section 321 of the regulating member 32 is located between the first air inlet 3111 and the first air outlet 3112, that is, one adsorption section 321 of the regulating member 32 is located in the adsorption channel 311, so that the gas entering through the first air inlet 3111 can be adsorbed by the adsorption section 321 and the adsorbed gas is discharged from the first air outlet 3112. The other adsorption section 321 is located between the second air inlet 3121 and the second air outlet 3122, that is, the other adsorption section 321 of the regulating member 32 is located in the desorption channel 312, so that the high temperature gas entering through the second air inlet 3121 can desorb the adsorption section 321 and the adsorbed gas is discharged from the second air outlet 3122.

[0062] Furthermore, the first air inlet 3111 and the second air outlet 3122 are located on the same side of the regulating housing 31, and the first air outlet 3112 and the second air inlet 3121 are distributed opposite to each other. This allows the adsorption channel 311 to take in air on one side of the regulating housing 31, and the desorption channel 312 to exhaust air on one side of the regulating housing. This enables the gas flow direction of the adsorption channel 311 to be opposite to the gas flow direction of the desorption channel 312. Moreover, the first air inlet 3111 and the second air outlet 3122 can be set at the open end of the regulating housing 31, which makes it convenient to set the first air inlet 3111 and the second air outlet 3122 on the same side of the regulating housing 31. The other end of the regulating housing 31 is a closed end, and the first air outlet 3112 and the second air inlet 3121 are distributed opposite to each other. This allows the first air outlet 3112 and the second air inlet 3121 to be located on the outer peripheral wall of the regulating housing 31, making it convenient to place the first air outlet 3112 close to the engine 2 and the second air inlet 3121 close to the heat source 4. In this way, the adsorption channel 311 can exhaust from the first air outlet 3112, and the desorption channel 312 can enter air on the opposite side of the adsorption channel 311, thus meeting the exhaust requirements of the adsorption channel 311 and the intake requirements of the desorption channel 312.

[0063] In some embodiments, a first control valve 5 is provided between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the adsorption channel 311, the first control valve 5 selectively connects the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the adsorption channel 311, and a second control valve 6 is provided between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2, the second control valve 6 selectively connects the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, by setting a first control valve 5 between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the adsorption channel 311, that is, by providing a connecting pipe between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the adsorption channel 311, the first control valve 5 can be connected to the connecting pipe. The first control valve 5 has the function of switching the connection and disconnection of the pipe, and can selectively connect the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the adsorption channel 311. In this way, the first control valve 5 can realize the switching between connection and disconnection of the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the adsorption channel 311. Furthermore, by setting a second control valve 6 between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2, i.e., a connecting pipe can be provided between the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2, the second control valve 6 can be connected to the connecting pipe. The second control valve 6 and the first control valve 5 have the same function, i.e., the second control valve 6 can selectively connect the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2. In this way, the second control valve 6 can switch between connecting and disconnecting the air filter exhaust structure 11 and the engine 2. Moreover, by using the first control valve 5 and the second control valve 6, the flow direction of the gas at the air filter exhaust structure 11 to the adsorption channel 311 or the engine 2 can be switched more simply and conveniently.

[0065] Among them, the first control valve 5 and the second control valve 6 can be constructed as electromagnetic control valves, etc.

[0066] In actual use, when the air humidity is high and the gas in the air filter exhaust structure 11 has a high water content, the first control valve 5 can be opened and the second control valve 6 can be closed to allow the gas in the air filter exhaust structure 11 to be introduced into the adsorption channel 311 for dehydration treatment. The dehydrated gas then enters the engine 2, which can effectively reduce the humidity of the gas entering the engine 2. When the air humidity is low and the gas in the air filter exhaust structure 11 has a low water content, the second control valve 6 can be opened and the first control valve 5 can be closed to allow the gas in the air filter exhaust structure 11 to be directly introduced into the engine 2 for combustion. This process does not require dehumidification of the gas, meaning the humidity adjustment component 3 does not need to work, which can reduce operating costs.

[0067] In some embodiments, the heat source 4 includes a heat exchanger 41 and a fan 42. The heat exchanger 41 is used to exchange heat with the exhaust module 21 of the engine 2. The heat exchanger 41 and the fan 42 are connected to the air inlet of the desorption channel 312. The fan 42 delivers the hot air from the heat exchanger 41 into the desorption channel 312.

[0068] Specifically, the heat exchanger 41 enables heat exchange, and the fan 42 drives airflow. The heat exchanger 41 can exchange heat with the exhaust module 21 of the engine 2; that is, the heat exchanger 41 can be located near the exhaust module 21 of the engine 2, allowing it to be closer to the exhaust module 21. The exhaust module 21 of the engine 2 has high heat output, and through thermal radiation, it can heat the surrounding air. The heat exchanger 41 can capture this heat, and the heat exchanger 41 and the fan 42 are connected. At the air inlet of the desorption channel 312, the fan 42 works in conjunction with the heat exchanger 41. The fan 42 can drive the high-temperature gas around the heat exchanger 41 to flow to the air inlet of the desorption channel 312. The high-temperature gas enters the desorption channel 312 and desorbs the adsorption part 321 of the regulating member 32 in the desorption channel 312, thereby reducing the water content of the adsorption part 321 and restoring the water absorption performance of the adsorption part 321. This allows the adsorption part 321 to absorb water from the gas in the adsorption channel 311 again.

[0069] The engine's intake system 100 also includes a control module. The humidity control component 3, first control valve 5, second control valve 6, fan 42, and engine 2 can be electrically connected to the control module. This allows for signal transmission between the humidity control component 3, first control valve 5, second control valve 6, fan 42, and engine 2 and the control module. In actual use, the opening and closing of the first control valve 5 and second control valve 6 are controlled by the control module. In heavy rain or fog, the vehicle's humidity sensor monitors the air humidity level in the duct to determine whether to activate the humidity control component 3. When the monitored air humidity exceeds a critical value, the humidity control component 3 is activated. In section 3, the adsorption section 321 in the adsorption channel 311 desorbs water vapor in the intake air. The desorbed dry air enters the engine 2 module for combustion. When the humidity monitored by the adsorption section 321 in the adsorption channel 311 reaches the saturation value, the control module controls the drive motor to output torque to rotate the adjustment component 32 by 180°, so that the two adsorption sections 321 switch positions. In the desorption channel 312, the high-temperature hot air introduced by the fan 42 can desorb the water in the adsorption section 321 of the desorption channel 312, thereby realizing the regeneration of the adsorption section 321. Through the continuous rotation of the drive motor, the two adsorption sections 321 can achieve cyclic adsorption and regeneration.

[0070] In this way, dynamic dehumidification ensures a stable oxygen concentration in the combustion chamber, effectively solving the problem of engine power reduction caused by high humidity and improving the reliability of power output.

[0071] This utility model also proposes a vehicle.

[0072] The vehicle according to the present utility model includes an intake system 100 of the engine in any of the above embodiments. The intake system 100 is used to communicate with the intake end of the engine 2 and can provide the engine 2 with combustible gas to meet the combustion requirements of the engine 2. The engine's intake system 100 includes an air filter assembly 1, an engine 2, and a humidity control assembly 3. The humidity control assembly 3 includes an adjustment housing 31 and an adjustment element 32. When the gas moisture content in the air filter exhaust structure 11 is high, the gas can be passed into the adsorption channel 311 of the adjustment housing 31 for moisture adsorption, ensuring the dryness of the gas entering the engine 2. After the adsorption section 321 in the adsorption channel 311 is saturated with moisture, the adjustment element 32 can be moved relative to the adjustment housing 31 to switch to the desorption channel 312. The moisture in the adsorption section 321 is desorbed by high-temperature gas, thereby regenerating the adsorption section 321. Thus, by continuously moving the adjustment element 32 relative to the adjustment housing 31, continuous dehumidification of the gas and continuous regeneration of the adsorption section 321 are achieved, stabilizing the intake oxygen concentration of the engine 2 and ensuring the power performance of the engine 2 in high humidity environments.
