Description

금속수소화물차량의 잔류 연료량측정장치 및 그 방법Residual fuel amount measuring device of metal hydride vehicle and its method

본 발명은 공기량을 감지하는 공기유량센서와 배기가스중의 산소농도를 감지하는 광역산소센서로 수소소비량을 산출한 뒤 잔류 수소량을 연료계기판에 표시하도록 한 금속수소화물차량의 잔류 연료량측정장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention is a device for measuring the residual fuel amount of a metal hydride vehicle to calculate the hydrogen consumption by the air flow rate sensor for detecting the amount of air and a wide-range oxygen sensor for detecting the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and to display the residual hydrogen on the fuel gauge substrate; It's about how.

일반적으로 차량에는 연료탱크내의 잔류 연료량을 표시하는 연료계기판이 설치되어 있다.In general, a vehicle is provided with a fuel gauge substrate indicating the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

그 중에서 액체상의 연료는 그 잔류량을 측정할 수 있어 운전자는 계기판을 보고 현재의 잔류량을 정확하게 확인할 수가 있으며, 또한 수소연료의 엔진의 경우 봄베형의 수소탱크내에 수소를 저장할 때 봄베의 입구에 장착된 게이지를 보고 저장된 연료량과 잔류연료량을 확인할 수가 있다.Among them, the liquid fuel can measure the residual amount, so the driver can check the current level accurately by looking at the instrument panel.In the case of the engine of hydrogen fuel, when the hydrogen is stored in the cylinder type hydrogen tank, The gauge can be used to check the amount of fuel stored and fuel remaining.

그러나 금속수소화물탱크(Metal Hydride Tank)를 장착하는 수소차량의 경우 잔류 연료량을 정확하게 측정할 수 없는 문제점이 있다.However, the hydrogen vehicle equipped with a metal hydride tank (Metal Hydride Tank) has a problem that can not accurately measure the residual fuel amount.

즉, 금속수소화물탱크에 저장되는 수소는 중금속과 분자결합하고 있으며 배기되는 엔진의 냉각수 또는 배기가스에 의해 온도가 상승하면 수소의 방출 압력이 증가하면서 방출되므로 단순히 저장되는 수소량만 측정하여 잔류 수소량을 측정한다는 것은 전혀 불가능하다.That is, the hydrogen stored in the metal hydride tank is molecularly bonded to the heavy metal, and when the temperature rises by the cooling water or exhaust gas of the exhausted engine, the hydrogen is released while the discharge pressure of hydrogen is increased. Measuring small quantities is not possible at all.

본 발명은 이러한 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 공기량을 감지하는 공기유량센서와 배기가스중의 산소농도를 감지하는 광역산소센서로 수소소비량을 산출한 뒤 잔류 수소량을 연료계기판에 표시하고자 금속수소화물차량의 잔류 연료량측정장치 및 그 방법을 제공하는 데 그 목적이 있다.In order to solve the above problems, the present invention calculates the hydrogen consumption with an air flow sensor that detects the amount of air and a wide-range oxygen sensor that detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas, and then displays the remaining amount of hydrogen on the fuel gauge substrate.

The fuel gauge substrate 6 shows the maximum filling state when the lid of the fuel inlet is closed, and shows the residual amount when the lid is opened or the complete consumption state.

이와같이 구성된 본 발명 금속수소화물차량의 잔류 연료량측정장치에 대하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.The residual fuel amount measuring device of the metal hydride vehicle of the present invention configured as described above will be described below.

금속수소화물탱크에 수소가 배기가스의 온도에 의하여 팽창하게 되면 연료계기판(6)에 충전상태로 현재의 잔류 수소량이 나타나며, 만약 온도가 강하되어 금속수소화물탱크가 냉각되면 연료계기판(6)의 수소 잔류량상태는 최소 충전상태로 나타나게 된다.When hydrogen is expanded in the metal hydride tank by the temperature of the exhaust gas, the remaining amount of hydrogen appears in the state of charge in the fuel gauge substrate 6, and if the temperature is lowered and the metal hydride tank is cooled, the fuel gauge substrate 6 The hydrogen residual state of is shown as the minimum state of charge.

따라서 수소 잔류량의 확인을 위해서는 엔진이 설정된 온도로 가열되어야만 고열의 배기가스에 의하여 금속수소화물탱크를 가열시킬 수가 있고, 금속수소화물탱크의 가열로 인하여 수소와 중금속이 분자결합하여 온도상승에 따라 압력변화가 발생하게 되고 이로인해 연료계기판(6)의 눈금이 정확하게 현재 잔류 수소량을 표시할 수가 있는 것이다.Therefore, in order to check the remaining amount of hydrogen, the engine must be heated to the set temperature to heat the metal hydride tank by the high-temperature exhaust gas, and the hydrogen and heavy metals are molecularly combined due to the heating of the metal hydride tank to increase the pressure. A change occurs, whereby the scale of the fuel gauge substrate 6 can accurately display the current residual hydrogen amount.

한편 콜드스타트시 연료계기판(6)에 현재 수소 잔류량이 나타나지 않더라도 배기파이프를 통하여 배기가스가 배기되고 있고, 공기량도 흡입되고 있으므로 공기유량센서(2)와 광역산소센서(3)에 의하여 공기량과 산소농도를 측정할 수가 있는 것이며, 또한 엔진이 설정된 온도로 상승된 상태에서도 상술한 바와 같은 방법에 의하여 공기량과 산소농도를 계속적으로 측정하면서 연료계기판(6)에 현재 수소 잔류량을 표시하게 된다.On the other hand, even if there is no residual hydrogen present in the fuel gauge 6 at the cold start, the exhaust gas is exhausted through the exhaust pipe, and the air amount is also sucked. The concentration can be measured, and the current hydrogen residual amount is displayed on the fuel gauge substrate 6 while continuously measuring the air amount and oxygen concentration by the above-described method even when the engine is raised to the set temperature.

이때, 수소 잔류량은 표시방법은 수소가 팽창된 상태에서 이론공연비 및 희박공연비로 연소하게 되면 제어부(4)가 스스로 미리 입력된 공식에 현재 공기량과 산소농도 및 시간을 대입하여 적산하게 되며, 적산하여 산출된 잔류 수소량에 대응되는 전압을 발생시켜 종래와 같이 연료계기판(6)을 작동시키게 되므로 연료계기판(6)에는 잔류 수소량을 나타나게 하는 것이다.At this time, the residual amount of hydrogen is displayed in the method of combustion with theoretical and lean fuel ratios in a state where hydrogen is expanded, and the controller 4 integrates the present air amount, oxygen concentration, and time into a formula that is input in advance, and integrates it. Since the fuel gauge substrate 6 is operated by generating a voltage corresponding to the calculated residual hydrogen amount, the residual amount of hydrogen appears in the fuel gauge substrate 6.

그리고 금속수소화물탱크내의 수소량이 소모되었을 경우 그 값이 연료계기판(6)에 표시되므로 운전자는 충전소에서 수소를 충전하게 되는 데, 수소의 충전을 위하여 연료주입구의 뚜껑을 열게 되면 스위치부(1)가 오프되므로 제어부(4)는 수소의 충전준비중임을 판단하게 되고, 연료계기판(6)을 작동시켜 최소눈금을 가리키게 되며, 수소의 충전 후 스위치부(1)의 온과 금속수소화물탱크의 가열로 최대 충전상태를 연료계기판(6)에 나타나게 된다.When the amount of hydrogen in the metal hydride tank is consumed, the value is displayed on the fuel gauge board 6, so that the driver charges hydrogen at the charging station. When the lid of the fuel inlet is opened to charge hydrogen, the switch unit 1 (4) is turned off, so that the control unit 4 determines that the hydrogen is being prepared for charging, and operates the fuel gauge substrate 6 to indicate the minimum division. After the hydrogen is charged, the switch unit 1 is turned on and the metal hydride tank is heated. The maximum state of charge appears on the fuel gauge substrate 6.

이와같이 본 발명은 공기량을 감지하는 공기유량센서와 배기가스중의 산소농도를 감지하는 광역산소센서로 수소소비량을 산출한 뒤 잔류 수소량을 연료계기판에 표시할 수가 있는 효과가 있다.As described above, the present invention has the effect of displaying the residual amount of hydrogen on the fuel substrate after calculating the hydrogen consumption with the air flow rate sensor for detecting the amount of air and the wide-range oxygen sensor for detecting the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas.
