Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of central gas supply technology, specifically to a central gas supply device for vacuum adsorption desiccant regeneration and a vanadium redox flow battery. Background Technology
[0002] In a vehicle's central air supply system, the central air supply unit is the core component that generates and provides dry, clean compressed air. Its performance directly affects the vehicle's operational stability and passenger comfort. If moisture in the compressed air is not effectively removed, it can freeze in the system or cause component corrosion, leading to system malfunctions. Therefore, central air supply systems typically integrate a dryer, whose internal desiccant is responsible for adsorbing moisture from the air.
[0003] After absorbing moisture, desiccants gradually become saturated, reducing their adsorption capacity. Regeneration is necessary to restore their performance. Existing central air supply systems typically replace the desiccant periodically; however, this method is costly, usually requires professional personnel, and is complex. Furthermore, some central air supply systems require prolonged shutdowns for backflushing regeneration, which affects continuous operation and reduces user experience.

[0034] In some embodiments, the drying adsorption module 7 includes a fourth solenoid valve 71, a two-position four-way valve 72 connected to the fourth solenoid valve 71, a first drying tank 73 and a second drying tank 74 respectively connected to the two-position four-way valve 72, a second one-way valve 75 connected to the first drying tank 73, and a third one-way valve 76 connected to the second drying tank 74. Both the first drying tank 73 and the second drying tank 74 contain a desiccant and a heating rod. One end of the fourth solenoid valve 71 is connected to the output port of the gas-liquid separation module 5, and the opening and closing of the fourth solenoid valve 71 controls the air supply status of the side-wing massage air supply module 9 connected to the drying adsorption module 7. The first port of the two-position four-way valve 32 is connected to the other end of the fourth solenoid valve 71. The second port of the two-position four-way valve 72 is connected to the input end of the second compressor 22. The third port of the two-position four-way valve 72 is connected to one end of the first drying barrel 73. The fourth port of the two-position four-way valve 72 is connected to one end of the second drying barrel 74. The second one-way valve 75 is connected to the other end of the first drying barrel 33. The third one-way valve 76 is connected to the other end of the second drying barrel 34. The flow direction of the second one-way valve 75 is such that gas can only flow from the first drying barrel 73 to the side massage air supply module 9. The flow direction of the third one-way valve 76 is such that gas can only flow from the second drying barrel 74 to the side massage air supply module 9.
[0035] In some embodiments, the drying adsorption module 7 can simultaneously achieve both desiccant adsorption of moisture in high-pressure gas for drying and desiccant regeneration through vacuum adsorption. In one scenario, the desiccant in the first drying tank 73 adsorbs moisture in the high-pressure gas for drying, while the desiccant in the second drying tank 73 undergoes vacuum adsorption regeneration. At this time, the second solenoid valve 41 and the fourth solenoid valve 71 are open, the fifth solenoid valve 24 is closed, and the first and third ports of the two-position four-way valve 72 are connected, as are the second and fourth ports. The high-pressure gas output from the first air compressor 21 of the compressed air module 2 sequentially passes through the second solenoid valve 41, the buffer storage tank 42, and the gas-liquid separator 51 for gas-liquid separation. Then, it is output through the first port of the two-position four-way valve 72 to the third port and enters the first drying tank 73 to achieve desiccant adsorption of moisture in the high-pressure gas for drying. During this time, the heating rod in the first drying tank 73 is not working, and the gas flows through the second one-way valve 75 to the side massage air supply module 9. The desiccant in the second drying barrel 73 is regenerated by vacuum adsorption. The second port and the fourth port of the two-position three-way valve 25 are connected. Since the flow direction of the third one-way valve 76 is such that the gas can only flow from the second drying barrel 74 to the side massage air supply module 9, the second air compressor 22 of the compressed air module 2 works to perform vacuuming. The heating rod in the second drying barrel 74 heats the gas to a high temperature, improving the regeneration performance of the desiccant. At this time, the gas in the second drying barrel 74 is drawn in by the second air compressor 22. The gas enters the second port through the fourth port of the two-position four-way valve 72 and is then drawn into the second air compressor 22. At this time, it is delivered to the third port through the first port of the two-position three-way valve 23 and discharged into the atmosphere.
[0036] Another method involves the desiccant in the second drying chamber 74 adsorbing moisture from the high-pressure gas for drying, while the desiccant in the first drying chamber 73 undergoes vacuum adsorption and regeneration. At this time, the second solenoid valve 41 and the fourth solenoid valve 71 are open, the fifth solenoid valve 24 is closed, the first port of the two-position four-way valve 72 is connected to the fourth port, and the second port of the two-position four-way valve 72 is connected to the third port. At this time, the high-pressure gas output from the first air compressor 21 of the compressed air module 2 passes through the second solenoid valve 41, the buffer storage tank 42, and the gas-liquid separator 51 for gas-liquid separation, and then is output through the first port of the two-position four-way valve 72 to the fourth port to enter the second drying chamber 74 to achieve desiccant adsorption of moisture from the high-pressure gas for drying. At this time, the heating rod in the second drying chamber 74 is not working, and then flows to the side massage air supply module 9 through the third one-way valve 76. The desiccant in the second drying tank 73 is regenerated by vacuum adsorption. The second port and the third port of the two-position three-way valve 25 are connected. Since the flow direction of the second one-way valve 75 is such that the gas can only flow from the first drying tank 73 to the side massage air supply module 9, the second air compressor 22 of the compressed air module 2 works to perform vacuuming. The heating rod in the first drying tank 73 heats the gas to a high temperature, improving the regeneration performance of the desiccant. At this time, the gas in the first drying tank 73 is drawn in by the second air compressor 22. The gas enters the second port through the fourth port of the two-position four-way valve 42 and is then drawn into the second air compressor 22. At this time, it is delivered to the third port through the first port of the two-position three-way valve 23 and discharged into the atmosphere.
[0037] In some embodiments, the detection module 8 integrates a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, and a humidity sensor. The detection module 8 is used to detect the saturation level of the desiccant in the first drying barrel 73 and the second drying barrel 74, respectively. When the saturation level of the desiccant in a certain drying barrel is detected to reach a preset threshold, the desiccant in the drying barrel is backflushed and regenerated by switching the port flow direction of the two-position four-way valve 72.
[0038] In some embodiments, the side massage air supply module 9 includes a side massage air supply interface 91, which is connected to the output port of the drying and adsorption module 7 to supply air to the massage armrests and other parts inside the vehicle.
[0039] The working process of the central air supply device 100 for vacuum adsorption desiccant regeneration is as follows: External air first undergoes preliminary filtration through the first air filter 11 in the air filtration module 1; the clean air is then sent to the air compression module 2 for compression. The compressed high-pressure gas can enter the air suspension supply module 3 through the opening of the first solenoid valve 31, where it is further dried by the dryer 32 before being supplied to the vehicle's air suspension system; another path allows it to enter the buffer storage tank 42 of the buffer storage module 4 through the opening of the second solenoid valve 41 for temporary storage to balance system pressure fluctuations. Subsequently, the gas in the buffer tank enters the gas-liquid separation module 5, where liquid water is separated and discharged by the gas-liquid separator 51, completing preliminary dehumidification; the gas after gas-liquid separation can then enter the external air supply module 6 through the opening of the third solenoid valve 61 to supply air to the outside. One route supplies air to the tools and equipment; another route allows air to enter the drying and adsorption module 7 for deep drying by opening the fourth solenoid valve 71. The drying and adsorption module 7 is equipped with a first drying tank 73 and a second drying tank 74, which work alternately. One drying tank is in the adsorption and drying state: humid gas enters the drying tank through the two-position four-way valve 72, where the desiccant adsorbs moisture, and the resulting dry gas is delivered to the side massage air supply module 9 through a one-way valve to supply air to the seat airbags; the other drying tank is simultaneously in the regeneration state: when the detection module 8 detects that the desiccant in the tank is saturated, the system automatically switches the valve group; at this time, the second two-stage compressor 22 in the air compression module 2 switches to vacuum mode, closes the fifth solenoid valve 24, extracts the humid air in the drying tank and discharges it to the atmosphere, and the heating rod in the drying tank is activated to heat the desiccant to improve the regeneration efficiency.
[0040] This utility model's central air supply device 100 for vacuum adsorption desiccant regeneration integrates air filtration, compression, buffering, gas-liquid separation, drying adsorption, detection, and multi-channel air supply into one compact unit, facilitating installation and maintenance. It employs a combination of vacuum adsorption and heating to achieve efficient desiccant regeneration, allowing for alternating operation without system shutdown to ensure continuous air supply.
