Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of natural gas vehicle technology, specifically to a parking heating system and parking heating control method for a natural gas vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing demands for vehicle comfort, parking heating systems are widely used in commercial vehicles (especially heavy-duty trucks) to ensure passenger cabin temperature for drivers in cold environments. Currently, mainstream vehicle parking heating systems primarily use diesel fuel, and their typical structure consists of a fuel tank, fuel pump, combustion chamber, fan, air ducts, and control panel. The system works as follows: the user starts the system and adjusts temperature parameters via the control panel; the fuel pump delivers diesel fuel from the tank to the combustion chamber for combustion; the high-temperature gases produced by combustion exchange heat with air in the air ducts; the fan drives the air to circulate within the ducts, thereby raising the passenger cabin temperature. This technology has been successfully applied to diesel heavy-duty trucks operating in northern regions, allowing users to easily control the heating function via the control panel, significantly improving driving comfort.

[0003] However, with the increasing prevalence of natural gas-powered vehicles (such as trucks powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG), the design flaws of existing parking heating systems have become increasingly apparent. Currently, parking heating systems in natural gas vehicles still use diesel parking heating technology, meaning the system structure is exactly the same as that of diesel heavy trucks, relying on diesel as fuel. This results in natural gas vehicles facing dual fuel demands in daily operation: in addition to refueling with natural gas to power the vehicle's power system, they also need to separately refuel with diesel to power the heating system. This design not only increases the operational complexity for users (e.g., requiring additional management of diesel storage, refueling, and safe storage facilities), but also brings a significant economic burden (such as the combined costs of diesel procurement and fuel management), and may affect the reliability of the heating system due to insufficient diesel supply or inconvenient refueling. Especially in cold northern regions, where the reliance on parking heating systems is high in winter, these problems further exacerbate vehicle operating costs and user burdens, severely restricting the market competitiveness and user satisfaction of natural gas vehicles.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a parking heating system specifically designed for natural gas vehicles to solve the problems of fuel dependence and operational redundancy in existing technologies, and to achieve efficient integration and improved economy of fuel use.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] This addresses the issues of reliance on a single fuel source and redundant operation in parking heating systems within related technologies.

[0021] In a first aspect, this application provides a parking heating system for a natural gas vehicle, comprising: The vehicle includes a gas cylinder with an adjustable solenoid valve at its outlet and a pressure sensor; a combustion chamber connected to the gas cylinder opening for supplying natural gas for combustion; a fan assembly for supplying air to the combustion chamber; an air supply duct for circulating air into the vehicle interior, with a heat exchange channel between the air supply duct and the combustion chamber; a temperature sensor for monitoring the real-time temperature inside the vehicle interior; and a control component connected to the temperature sensor, the fan assembly, and the solenoid valve, which adjusts the opening of the solenoid valve and the gas supply rate of the fan assembly based on the real-time vehicle temperature, target temperature, and pressure parameters inside the gas cylinder.

[0022] Understandably, the integrated design of the gas tank (with integrated pressure sensor), combustion chamber, fan assembly, air supply pipeline, and intelligent control components achieves a single, unified fuel source. Its core benefits are: completely eliminating the dependence of natural gas vehicles on diesel fuel, avoiding operational redundancy caused by dual fuel management (such as diesel storage, refueling, and safety facility maintenance), and significantly reducing operating costs (reducing diesel procurement and fuel management expenses); simultaneously, by dynamically adjusting the solenoid valve opening and fan assembly gas supply rate through real-time monitoring of vehicle temperature, target temperature, and gas tank pressure parameters, it ensures efficient and stable combustion, achieves uniform heating of the passenger compartment, improves winter driving comfort and system reliability, and directly solves the economic and reliability bottlenecks caused by the single fuel source in existing technologies.

[0023] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fan assembly includes: a combustion gas supply pipeline and a blower; wherein, The combustion gas supply pipeline has its outlet connected to the combustion chamber inlet, and the combustion gas supply pipeline inlet is connected to the combustion chamber exhaust outlet; the blower is connected to the combustion gas supply pipeline and is signal-connected to the control component.

[0024] It is understandable that the signal linkage between the blower and the control components in the above embodiments ensures that the gas supply rate is accurately matched with the combustion demand, avoiding incomplete combustion or temperature fluctuations caused by uneven airflow, thereby reducing energy waste, improving thermal efficiency, and enhancing the system's stable operation capability in low-temperature environments, providing a hardware foundation for uniform heating.

[0025] Secondly, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a parking heater control method using the above-mentioned parking heater system, which includes: Step S1: Calculate the current opening parameters of the solenoid valve based on the real-time temperature inside the vehicle, the target temperature, and the current pressure parameters inside the gas tank, so as to ensure that the vehicle interior meets the preset uniform heating conditions. It is understandable that the above embodiments implement closed-loop logic to achieve dynamic parameter coordination, that is, based on real-time temperature, target temperature, and gas tank pressure parameters, the opening degree of the solenoid valve and the gas supply rate of the fan assembly are calculated synchronously. This enables precise adaptive control of the heating process, avoiding the temperature overshoot or lag problems caused by fixed parameters in traditional systems; through real-time calibration of the combustion chamber's full combustion conditions, it ensures efficient utilization of LNG fuel, reduces unburned emissions, and maintains uniform temperature in the passenger compartment, significantly improving driving comfort and system energy efficiency, providing an economical and efficient parking heating solution for natural gas vehicles.

[0026] Step S1 specifically includes: Step S1a: Calculate the current temperature adjustment difference based on the real-time temperature inside the vehicle and the target temperature.

[0027] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the difference between the target temperature and the real-time temperature determines the heating control strategy in subsequent steps.

[0028] Step S1b: Determine the current opening parameter of the solenoid valve based on the current temperature adjustment difference and the current pressure parameter.

[0029] Specifically, step S1b includes: Step A: Obtain the uniform heating calibration relationship between the temperature adjustment difference, pressure parameters, and current opening parameters according to the preset coefficients.

[0030] It is worth noting that this embodiment introduces a uniform heating calibration relationship, mapping the temperature adjustment difference and pressure parameters to opening parameters. A quantitative correlation model between parameters and heating effect is established, eliminating reliance on human experience through a preset calibration relationship. Under extreme conditions, the system can automatically output the optimal opening parameters, avoiding energy waste caused by parameter misjudgment in traditional solutions, while ensuring a uniform temperature gradient in the passenger cabin and meeting high comfort requirements.

[0031] In some preferred embodiments, various uniform heating calibration relationships between temperature adjustment difference, pressure parameters and current opening parameters can be obtained according to different preset coefficients.

[0032] It is worth noting that, in order to ensure uniform heating in the cab, considering the cab's heating requirements and the current pressure in the gas tank (minimum pressure 0.4 MPa and saturation pressure 1.1 MPa) as well as the user's heating rate requirements, different heating rates (rapid heating mode, comfort mode, and energy-saving mode) are matched through energy-saving mode selection. For a single mode, the opening logic of the solenoid valve is determined according to the following interpolation table.

[0033]

[0034] It should be noted that when selecting different heating modes (rapid heating mode, comfort mode, and energy-saving mode), different interpolation tables can be switched to help determine the opening degree of the solenoid valve. Among them, under the same temperature difference and pressure, the opening degree is the largest in rapid heating mode, the smallest in energy-saving mode, and the opening degree of the solenoid valve in comfort mode is in the middle among the three modes.

[0035] Step B: Obtain the corresponding opening parameters as the current opening parameters based on the uniform heating calibration relationship, the current temperature adjustment difference, and the current pressure parameters.

[0036] Specifically, in conjunction with the above embodiments, step B includes: selecting different uniform heating calibration relationships according to the vehicle temperature control mode, wherein the vehicle temperature control mode includes rapid heating mode, comfort mode and energy-saving mode; and obtaining the corresponding current opening parameters according to the selected uniform heating calibration relationship.

[0037] Step S2: Calculate the optimal gas supply rate of the fan assembly based on the current opening degree of the solenoid valve and the current pressure parameters in the gas tank, so as to achieve complete combustion conditions in the combustion chamber.

[0038] It is understood that the gas supply rate calculation method in the above embodiments is based on the solenoid valve opening, gas tank pressure parameters, and preset optimal air-fuel ratio. Its technical effect is to ensure that the combustion chamber is always in a state of full combustion, avoid carbon soot emissions or thermal efficiency reduction caused by air-fuel ratio imbalance; and improve the combustion efficiency to over 95% by calculating the matching between the current gas quality parameters of the gas tank and the required gas supply quality parameters, reduce unburned fuel, improve system response speed, and ensure long-term operational reliability.

[0039] Further, step S2 includes: Step A: Calculate the current gas quality parameters in the gas tank based on the current opening degree of the solenoid valve and the current pressure parameters in the gas tank.

[0040] Specifically, the real-time gas flow parameter L1 is calculated based on the real-time pressure parameters of the gas tank and the solenoid valve opening obtained in step S1. Then, the gas mass M is calculated using the formula: M=ρ*L1 Where ρ is the density of LNG.

[0041] Step B: Calculate the required gas supply quality parameters based on the current gas quality parameters and the preset optimal air-fuel ratio.

[0042] Specifically, based on the optimal air-fuel ratio of 17.2, the required gas quality M 气 : M 气 =17.2*M*K Where K is the air-fuel ratio, which is usually taken as 1.05.

[0043] Step C: Calculate the optimal air supply rate of the blower assembly based on the air supply quality parameters and the blower specifications.

[0044] Specifically, the gas supply volume parameter V is calculated based on the gas supply quality parameters and the current altitude coefficient. V=M 气 / ρ*h Where h is the altitude coefficient, the optimal air supply speed of the blower is then calculated based on the air supply volume parameters.

[0045] Understandably, based on the selected specifications of the blower, the corresponding blower speed N can be calibrated to achieve the corresponding combustion air volume V.

[0046] Step S3: Adjust the opening of the solenoid valve according to the current opening parameters of the solenoid valve through the control component, and control the fan component to send air to the combustion chamber for combustion at the optimal air supply rate until the real-time temperature inside the vehicle reaches the target temperature.

[0047] It is worth noting that once the real-time temperature reaches the target temperature, the parking heater system enters a dormant state.

[0048] Step S4: After a preset interval, the difference between the real-time temperature and the target temperature is checked again. If the target temperature is lower than the real-time temperature, the parking heater system is put into sleep mode. If the target temperature is higher than the real-time temperature, steps S1-S3 are repeated.

[0049] Secondly, this application provides a parking heater device for performing a parking heater function according to a parking heater control method, the method comprising: Step S1: Calculate the current opening parameters of the solenoid valve based on the real-time temperature inside the vehicle, the target temperature, and the current pressure parameters inside the gas tank, so as to ensure that the vehicle interior meets the preset uniform heating conditions. It is understandable that the above embodiments implement closed-loop logic to achieve dynamic parameter coordination, that is, based on real-time temperature, target temperature, and gas tank pressure parameters, the opening degree of the solenoid valve and the gas supply rate of the fan assembly are calculated synchronously. This enables precise adaptive control of the heating process, avoiding the temperature overshoot or lag problems caused by fixed parameters in traditional systems; through real-time calibration of the combustion chamber's full combustion conditions, it ensures efficient utilization of LNG fuel, reduces unburned emissions, and maintains uniform temperature in the passenger compartment, significantly improving driving comfort and system energy efficiency, providing an economical and efficient parking heating solution for natural gas vehicles.

[0050] Step S1 specifically includes: Step S1a: Calculate the current temperature adjustment difference based on the real-time temperature inside the vehicle and the target temperature.

[0051] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the difference between the target temperature and the real-time temperature determines the heating control strategy in subsequent steps.

[0052] Step S1b: Determine the current opening parameter of the solenoid valve based on the current temperature adjustment difference and the current pressure parameter.

[0053] Specifically, step S1b includes: Step A: Obtain the uniform heating calibration relationship between the temperature adjustment difference, pressure parameters, and current opening parameters according to the preset coefficients.

[0054] It is worth noting that this embodiment introduces a uniform heating calibration relationship, mapping the temperature adjustment difference and pressure parameters to opening parameters. A quantitative correlation model between parameters and heating effect is established, eliminating reliance on human experience through a preset calibration relationship. Under extreme conditions, the system can automatically output the optimal opening parameters, avoiding energy waste caused by parameter misjudgment in traditional solutions, while ensuring a uniform temperature gradient in the passenger cabin and meeting high comfort requirements.

[0055] In some preferred embodiments, various uniform heating calibration relationships between temperature adjustment difference, pressure parameters and current opening parameters can be obtained according to different preset coefficients.

[0056] It is worth noting that, in order to ensure uniform heating in the cab, considering the cab's heating requirements and the current pressure in the gas tank (minimum pressure 0.4 MPa and saturation pressure 1.1 MPa) as well as the user's heating rate requirements, different heating rates (rapid heating mode, comfort mode, and energy-saving mode) are matched through energy-saving mode selection. For a single mode, the opening logic of the solenoid valve is determined according to the following interpolation table.

[0057]

[0058] It should be noted that when selecting different heating modes (rapid heating mode, comfort mode, and energy-saving mode), different interpolation tables can be switched to help determine the opening degree of the solenoid valve. Among them, under the same temperature difference and pressure, the opening degree is the largest in rapid heating mode, the smallest in energy-saving mode, and the opening degree of the solenoid valve in comfort mode is in the middle among the three modes.

[0059] Step B: Obtain the corresponding opening parameters as the current opening parameters based on the uniform heating calibration relationship, the current temperature adjustment difference, and the current pressure parameters.

[0060] Specifically, in conjunction with the above embodiments, step B includes: selecting different uniform heating calibration relationships according to the vehicle temperature control mode, wherein the vehicle temperature control mode includes rapid heating mode, comfort mode and energy-saving mode; and obtaining the corresponding current opening parameters according to the selected uniform heating calibration relationship.

[0061] Step S2: Calculate the optimal gas supply rate of the fan assembly based on the current opening degree of the solenoid valve and the current pressure parameters in the gas tank, so as to achieve complete combustion conditions in the combustion chamber.

[0062] It is understood that the gas supply rate calculation method in the above embodiments is based on the solenoid valve opening, gas tank pressure parameters, and preset optimal air-fuel ratio. Its technical effect is to ensure that the combustion chamber is always in a state of full combustion, avoid carbon soot emissions or thermal efficiency reduction caused by air-fuel ratio imbalance; and improve the combustion efficiency to over 95% by calculating the matching between the current gas quality parameters of the gas tank and the required gas supply quality parameters, reduce unburned fuel, improve system response speed, and ensure long-term operational reliability.

[0063] Further, step S2 includes: Step A: Calculate the current gas quality parameters in the gas tank based on the current opening degree of the solenoid valve and the current pressure parameters in the gas tank.

[0064] Specifically, the real-time gas flow parameter L1 is calculated based on the real-time pressure parameters of the gas tank and the solenoid valve opening obtained in step S1. Then, the gas mass M is calculated using the formula: M=ρ*L1 Where ρ is the density of LNG.

[0065] Step B: Calculate the required gas supply quality parameters based on the current gas quality parameters and the preset optimal air-fuel ratio.

[0066] Specifically, based on the optimal air-fuel ratio of 17.2, the required gas quality M 气 : M 气 =17.2*M*K Where K is the air-fuel ratio, which is usually taken as 1.05.

[0067] Step C: Calculate the optimal air supply rate of the blower assembly based on the air supply quality parameters and the blower specifications.

[0068] Specifically, the gas supply volume parameter V is calculated based on the gas supply quality parameters and the current altitude coefficient. V=M 气 / ρ*h Where h is the altitude coefficient, the optimal air supply speed of the blower is then calculated based on the air supply volume parameters.

[0069] Understandably, based on the selected specifications of the blower, the corresponding blower speed N can be calibrated to achieve the corresponding combustion air volume V.

[0070] Step S3: Adjust the opening of the solenoid valve according to the current opening parameters of the solenoid valve through the control component, and control the fan component to send air to the combustion chamber for combustion at the optimal air supply rate until the real-time temperature inside the vehicle reaches the target temperature.

[0071] It is worth noting that once the real-time temperature reaches the target temperature, the parking heater system enters a dormant state.

[0072] Step S4: After a preset interval, the difference between the real-time temperature and the target temperature is checked again. If the target temperature is lower than the real-time temperature, the parking heater system is put into sleep mode. If the target temperature is higher than the real-time temperature, steps S1-S3 are repeated.

[0073] In summary, this application ensures the driver's heating needs during rest by directly extracting natural gas from the LNG tank and burning it directly in the combustion chamber. Furthermore, the heating system of this application can adjust the opening of the solenoid valve and the fan speed according to the pressure inside the gas tank to achieve complete combustion and uniform heating of the gas-fired parking heater.
