Device for increasing fording depth of vehicle and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for increasing the fording depth of a vehicle and a control method thereof. The device comprises an engine air inlet pipe, a water level detection module, an air supply pipeline, an execution mechanism and a control system. The first end of the engine air inlet pipe is communicated with an engine air inlet of the vehicle, the second end of the engine air inlet pipe is provided with more than two ports, one of the ports is provided with a water level detection module, and the other ports are communicated with a braking system of the vehicle and an air storage tank of an inflation and deflation system through an air supply pipeline; the water level detection module comprises a metal net which is connected with the anode of a power supply module on the vehicle, and the cathode of the power supply module is connected with the vehicle body. The executing mechanism comprises an electric valve and a plugging mechanism; the control system comprises a pressure sensor and a controller which are arranged on the air supply pipeline, and the input end of the controller is connected with the pressure sensor; the other input end of the controller is connected with the water level detection module; and the fording driving depth of the vehicle is greatly improved, so that the vehicle has short-time underwater driving capability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, in particular to a device for increasing the wading depth of a vehicle and a control method thereof. [0002] technical background [0003] Military off-road vehicles and some special-purpose vehicles will pass through some ditches, swamps and rivers of unknown depth during actual use. Sometimes the water will submerge the engine air intake or even the entire body. , causing the vehicle to stall or even damage the engine, the air intake of the engine has become the main factor limiting the wading depth of the vehicle. At present, most vehicles increase the wading depth by adjusting the installation height of the air inlet, but the overall structure of the vehicle is beautiful and coordinated so that the installation height of the air inlet can only be adjusted within a certain range, and when the body is submerged by water, by adjusting The installation height of the air inlet can no longer s...
