[0062] The embodiment is based on the non-automatic mode air conditioning performance test method of the summer automatic air conditioner of a passenger vehicle according to the application, and specifically provides an actual embodiment:
[0063] Step A. Non-automatic mode performance test of the automatic air conditioner of a passenger vehicle
[0064] (1) Install sensors
[0065] Sensors are arranged at the blowing face outlet and the head of the passenger compartment of the vehicle to be tested, and the specific measurement points and positions are shown in Figure 1
[0066] (2) Perform drum load setting
[0067] The setting of the road load of the vehicle is calculated according to the following formula:
[0068] In the formula, F is the road load of the vehicle, in Newton (N), CD is the air resistance coefficient (dimensionless value), A is the windward area of the vehicle, in square meters (㎡), p is the air density, in kilograms per cubic meter (kg / m 3 ), 1.146 kg / m 3 at 35℃, V is the driving speed of the vehicle, in kilometers per hour (km / h), f is the friction resistance coefficient (dimensionless value), 0.011 at 35℃, M is the maximum mass allowed by the vehicle (if the vehicle can be towed, it is the maximum designed total mass of the train), in kilograms (kg), and g is the acceleration of gravity, in meters per square second (m / s 3 );
[0069] (3) Perform vehicle bench test verification
[0070] Vehicle pretreatment, such as Figure 2 shown, is preheated to a high temperature. The preheating to a high temperature is divided into three stages and is performed continuously. The environmental temperature is set to 35℃, and the relative humidity is 50%. The doors and windows are opened for isothermal treatment, and when the average temperature of the head of the passenger compartment reaches 35℃±1℃, the sunlight simulation system is turned on, set to 800W / ㎡, and the vehicle is exposed to sunlight for 30 minutes. Then all the doors and windows are closed, and the vehicle is covered for 30 minutes.
[0071] As shown in Figure 3 The experiment was conducted as shown. The experiment consisted of five consecutive operating conditions. Starting at a vehicle speed of 40 km / h, the air conditioning was set to a medium setting with a high fan speed and ran for 10 minutes to rapidly cool the vehicle interior. Then, simulating user habits, the fan speed was reduced by one level to maintain low noise for 20 minutes, followed by idling for 5 minutes to simulate urban traffic congestion. After the vehicle interior temperature had completely decreased, the fan speed was adjusted to the second lowest setting, and the vehicle was driven at 40 km / h for 20 minutes, followed by idling for 5 minutes, simulating both driving and traffic jam conditions.
[0072] Step B. Subjective evaluation test of comfort in non-automatic mode of passenger vehicle automatic air conditioning
[0073] Repeat the test conditions in step A, and invite air conditioning evaluation professionals to enter the passenger cabin to conduct a subjective evaluation of each seat.
[0074] Step C. Establishment of Evaluation Index System
[0075] (1) Selection of evaluation indicators
[0076] Establishing a scientific and reasonable evaluation index system is the core and fundamental way to determine the performance of automatic air conditioning in non-automatic mode. Based on the summary and analysis of the test results of automatic air conditioning in non-automatic mode, and for the cooling condition, five performance indicators (first-level indicators) and corresponding indicators (second-level indicators) that are easy to quantify and have a significant impact on the selection of the performance evaluation of automatic air conditioning in non-automatic mode of passenger vehicles are selected as evaluation indicators: air outlet temperature, average head temperature, average head temperature fluctuation, average air outlet temperature fluctuation, and subjective evaluation.
[0077] (2) Evaluation index system
[0078] Based on the research on the five major factors affecting the selection of evaporator protection temperature for fixed displacement compressors in passenger vehicles, an evaluation index system for the performance test of passenger vehicle automatic air conditioning in non-automatic mode was constructed using AHP, such as... Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4 It can be seen that the evaluation system for the performance test of passenger vehicle automatic air conditioning in non-automatic mode includes 5 primary indicators, covering the main aspects affecting the performance of automatic air conditioning in non-automatic mode; 25 secondary indicators decompose, refine and extend the factors affecting the 5 primary indicators, making the hierarchy of the indicator system clearer and more operable.
[0079] (3) Determining the weights of evaluation indicators
[0080] The AHP is used to determine the weight of each evaluation index. The evaluation weight determination process is to make a corresponding AHP weight questionnaire according to the established evaluation system, distribute it to 10 professional personnel engaged in the performance evaluation of the whole vehicle air conditioning system, and ask the professional personnel to independently score the comparison value according to their understanding of the evaluation index, and conduct statistics. According to the AHP principle, the judgment matrix between the target layer and each first-level index, the judgment matrix between each first-level index and the second-level index factor are obtained, and the characteristic vector W and the maximum eigenvalue λ of each judgment matrix are calculated max , and C R . By summarizing the above results, the weight of each evaluation index of the performance test of the automatic air conditioner of the passenger car in the non-automatic mode is finally obtained as shown in Figure 5 ;
[0081] (4) The evaluation index system of the air conditioning performance and evaluation test of the automatic air conditioning of the passenger car in the non-automatic mode in summer has been established, and the weight of each evaluation index is also determined by AHP. Finally, the scoring and weighting method is used to evaluate each index of the test. According to the relevant test database of the air conditioning performance test of the automatic air conditioning of the passenger car in the non-automatic mode in summer and the experience of professional evaluators, the scoring standard is established for each evaluation project (first-level index). The subjective evaluation and objective test are combined to score according to Figure 6 ;
[0082] (5) Figure 6 The temperature of the blowing face outlet, the average temperature fluctuation of the blowing face outlet, the average head temperature, and the average head temperature fluctuation are measured by objective test in
[0083] (6) In the actual case application, the objective test results and the subjective evaluation results of each evaluation project of the air conditioning performance test of the automatic air conditioning of the passenger car in the non-automatic mode in summer are used to obtain the evaluation of each evaluation project by using the evaluation index system established in this paper and referring to the evaluation project scoring standard in Figure 6 . Combined with the weight of each evaluation project calculated by AHP, the comprehensive evaluation of the test performance is obtained by using the weighting method. Finally, according to the evaluation results, it is judged whether the air conditioning performance of the automatic air conditioning of the passenger car in the non-automatic mode in summer meets the requirements.
[0084] The above describes in detail the non-automatic mode air conditioning performance test method and evaluation method of the automatic air conditioner for passenger cars in summer according to the present application, and the principle and implementation mode of the present application are described by using specific examples, and the above examples are only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; meanwhile, for the general technical personnel in the field, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed, and the above description should not be understood as the limitation of the present application.
