DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] At present, liquid hydrogen storage and supply systems are mainly used in the aerospace field, and are rarely used in the automotive field. Liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are still in the early stage of technical verification and exploration. The utilization of cold and hot energy of the whole vehicle is still in the early stage of independent technical research, and there is no comprehensive cold and hot energy utilization architecture and solution for the whole vehicle. The liquid hydrogen system used in the aerospace field has different application scenarios from those for vehicles. Therefore, there are concepts and principles in structural design and system design that are different from those in the automotive environment. It cannot be directly borrowed in the automotive environment. At present, the development of hydrogen fuel vehicle models using liquid hydrogen as an energy storage method at home and abroad is just in the initial stage, and the comprehensive utilization of cold and hot energy of the whole vehicle is still in the exploratory state and experimental verification stage.

[0030] Therefore, there are at least the following problems with current hydrogen fuel cell vehicles: 1. Most current fuel cell vehicles use high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, and there is no liquid hydrogen gasification cold energy to be used; 2. In some liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicle models that are being studied, the liquid hydrogen gasifier is designed separately, and the gasification cold energy is released into the environment, causing waste. At the same time, the thermal energy of the entire vehicle is required for heating, which causes energy loss of the entire vehicle under some working conditions. 3. Fuel cells generate a large amount of heat during operation and cannot dissipate heat. The entire vehicle needs to be matched with a radiator with a larger area, which makes the layout difficult; 4. The entire vehicle's air conditioning system is heavily loaded and energy-intensive in the high-temperature environment of summer, which greatly affects the vehicle's driving range. The above reasons have led to certain technical difficulties in the application of liquid hydrogen in the entire vehicle, high energy consumption of the entire vehicle, and limited driving range, which restricts the development of hydrogen fuel cell models, especially the promotion of medium and heavy-duty transport vehicle application scenarios.

[0031] To this end, the present invention mainly provides a technical solution for a comprehensive utilization system of cold and heat energy of a whole vehicle matching a liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicle model. Aiming at the on-board environment of the liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and combining the requirements and characteristics of the relevant systems of the whole vehicle, the cold and heat energy related systems of the whole vehicle are designed. By utilizing the characteristics of the cold energy of liquid hydrogen gasification, a rational design is carried out in terms of ensuring safety and energy saving, so as to solve the problems of comprehensive utilization of cold and heat energy of liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and the whole vehicle, and improve the comprehensive performance of the whole vehicle, saving energy and reducing emissions.

At the same time, the heat energy generated by other systems can also be exchanged through the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10, achieving comprehensive utilization of energy of more than 100 systems of the vehicle, solving the problem of comprehensive utilization of cold and heat energy of the whole vehicle, and improving the comprehensive performance of the whole vehicle. Among them, the battery system 30 can include a fuel cell system 31 and a power battery system 32.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 includes a first damper 21 and an in-cabin air supply passage 22, and the first damper 21 is connected between the gas-gas vaporizer 13 and the in-cabin air supply passage 22. That is, the cold energy recovered from the gas-gas vaporizer 13 can be transported to the first damper 21 and enter the in-cabin air supply passage 22, and the cold or heat is transported from the in-cabin air supply passage 22 to the interior of the vehicle 100 to improve driving comfort. In this way, by setting the in-cabin air supply passage 22, the energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 can be converted into cold air or hot air for adjusting the temperature of the interior space of the vehicle 100, thereby realizing the rational use of energy.

[0039] Among them, combined Figure 1 The liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 has a gas-gas gasifier 13. The gas-gas gasifier 13 may include a first hydrogen channel and a first airflow channel 11 that are heat exchange matched.

[0040] In addition, the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 has a water bath vaporizer 12, which may include a second hydrogen channel and a liquid flow channel for heat exchange. The second hydrogen channel is suitable for connecting to a liquid hydrogen storage tank 17 and for supplying hydrogen to a fuel cell. The liquid flow channel is connected to the second hydrogen channel by heat exchange, and the liquid flow channel connects the fuel cell system, the vehicle system and the power battery system.

[0041] Combination Figure 3 Further, the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 further includes an in-cabin temperature adjustment component, a heater 28 and a second damper 29. Specifically, the second damper 29 is connected between the in-cabin temperature adjustment component, the heater 28 and the in-cabin air supply passage 22. The in-cabin temperature adjustment component and the heater 28 can provide hot air or cold air to the in-cabin air supply passage 22 through the second damper 29. The in-cabin air supply passage 22 is connected to the interior space of the vehicle 100. The first damper 21 is connected between the gas-gas vaporizer 13 and the in-cabin air supply passage 22. The second damper 29 connects the in-cabin temperature adjustment component, the heater 28 and the in-cabin air supply passage 22, so that the in-cabin air supply passage 22 selectively connects the in-cabin temperature adjustment component and / or the heater 28. In other words, the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 can use the energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 to adjust the in-vehicle temperature, and can also adjust the in-vehicle temperature through the in-cabin temperature adjustment component and the heater 28 in the system, thereby improving the flexibility and functionality of the vehicle 100.

The in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 has a third air flow channel 23 that cooperates with the second heat exchanger 27b for heat exchange, and the third air flow channel 23 is connected to the in-cabin air supply channel 22. Specifically, the first heat exchanger 27a, the second heat exchanger 27b and the compressor 26 can form a heat exchange system, and the third air flow channel 23 is connected to the in-cabin air supply channel 22, and the cold or heat converted by the heat exchanger can be transported from the third air flow channel 23 to the in-cabin air supply channel 22 and then to the interior space of the vehicle 100, that is, cold air or hot air is blown out, thereby realizing the cooling or heating mode of the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20. The in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 has a fourth air flow channel 24 that cooperates with the heater 28 for heat exchange. The fourth air flow channel 24 is connected to the cabin air supply channel 22, and a second damper 29 is provided between the third air flow channel 23 and the fourth air flow channel 24 and the cabin air supply channel 22. The heater 28 can generate heat to provide a heat source for the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20. For example, when the vehicle 100 is started at a low temperature, the heater 28 can play a preheating function and can also be used for heating the cab. Specifically, the heat of the heater 28 can enter the cabin air supply channel 22 through the fourth air flow channel 24 and then enter the interior space of the vehicle 100 for heating. In the present invention, by connecting the battery system 30 to the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20, the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 can also use the waste heat of the fuel cell to heat the cab. In this way, at some ambient temperatures, turning off the heater 28 can also achieve a heating effect, which can improve energy utilization and achieve an energy-saving effect.

[0043] Combination Figure 3 Optionally, the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 may further include a blower 25, which is connected between the first damper 21 and the in-cabin air supply passage 22. The blower 25 may send cold air or hot air out from the in-cabin air supply passage 22 through the blower 25 and then to the interior space of the vehicle 100, thereby improving the driving comfort of the vehicle 100 and facilitating energy saving.

Among them, the third air flow channel 23 and the fourth air flow channel 24 can be connected to the cabin air supply channel 22 to connect the interior space of the vehicle 100.

[0045] In actual operation, the in-vehicle air conditioner can realize cooling and heating modes. In hot summer weather, the in-vehicle air conditioner uses cooling mode, and introduces the cold energy generated by the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 at the air inlet of the cab air conditioner blower 25 through the first damper 21, thereby reducing the air inlet temperature of the air conditioner and reducing the power consumption of the air conditioner compressor 26. Alternatively, the cold energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 can be introduced through the water pump 50, the first three-way battery valve 61, the second three-way battery valve 62, and the third heat exchanger 27c to further reduce the air temperature, which is conducive to reducing the cab temperature. At some ambient temperatures, the compressor 26 can even be turned off to reduce the power consumption of the compressor 26 and improve the energy utilization rate of the entire vehicle. When the weather is cold in winter, the air conditioner in the vehicle uses the heating mode, the first damper 21 is closed, the cold energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 is isolated, and the waste heat of the fuel cell is used through the third heat exchanger 27c, the water pump 50, the first three-way battery valve 61, and the second three-way battery valve 62 to heat the cab of the entire vehicle, which can reduce the power consumption of the PTC. Under certain ambient temperatures, the PTC of the entire vehicle can even be turned off to improve the energy utilization rate of the entire vehicle.

[0082] A vehicle 100 and a control method of the vehicle 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] Based on the comprehensive cold and heat utilization system and system components of the vehicle 100 in the figure, the sensor-related information of the vehicle and the system is collected through the vehicle energy management controller, combined with the vehicle working conditions. Information is exchanged with the vehicle controller VCU, the power battery 321MS controller, the fuel cell FCU controller, the liquid hydrogen system controller, and the vehicle air-conditioning controller. According to the different cold and heat requirements of different system modules, the information of the cold and heat energy management of the integrated vehicle is shared, and the cold and heat modules of the vehicle are completed to work normally under different working conditions and different application environments by controlling each execution component and the battery valve 19b in the system. Optimization ensures that the vehicle 100 operates safely, reliably, and with low energy consumption, improves the driving range of the vehicle 100, and saves energy and reduces emissions.

[0084] The intelligent control strategy for comprehensive utilization of cold and heat energy of the liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicle mainly includes: a liquid hydrogen gasification system 10, an in-vehicle air conditioning system 20, a fuel cell system 31, a vehicle system 40 and a power battery system 32. Specifically, the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 has a gas-gas vaporizer 13 and a water bath vaporizer 12, and the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20 includes a first damper 21, a second damper 29, an in-cabin air supply channel 22, an in-cabin temperature adjustment component and a heater 28. The fuel cell system 31 includes a second heat exchange loop and a second switching component (a third three-way battery valve 63 and a fourth three-way battery valve 64). The vehicle system 40 includes a first heat exchange loop 42 and a first switching component (a seventh three-way battery valve 67 and an eighth three-way battery valve 68).

[0085] The power battery system 32 includes a heat exchange flow channel and a third switching component (a ninth three-way battery valve and a thirteenth three-way battery valve). The vehicle 100 also includes a third heat exchanger 27c and a fourth switching component (a first three-way battery valve 61 and a second three-way battery valve 62). Among them, the vehicle system 40 also includes a vehicle controller VCU, a power battery 321 BMS controller, a fuel cell FCU controller, a liquid hydrogen system controller, an air conditioning controller, etc.

[0086] It should be noted that the three-way battery valve can have a flow regulation function and a three-way cut-off function.

[0087] The control method of the vehicle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following functions: relying on the vehicle energy management controller, the vehicle 100 liquid hydrogen gasification system 10, the in-vehicle air conditioning system 20, the fuel cell system 31, the power battery system 32 and the vehicle system 40 and other cold and hot system components can be intelligently and comprehensively controlled based on the working conditions and scene requirements of the vehicle 100, while ensuring safety, function and performance. Specifically, the vehicle energy management controller exchanges information with the vehicle 100 controller VCU, the power battery 321MS controller, the fuel cell FCU controller, the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 controller, etc., and controls the various system (or function) module components of the vehicle 100 directly or through other controllers, and completes the comprehensive utilization and control of the cold and hot energy of multiple systems of the vehicle 100.

[0088] More specifically, the vehicle 100 energy integrated management module performs information collection through the vehicle 100 and the hot and cold module status and the driver's intention. The collected information is controlled by the program to control the actuators in the hot and cold system working execution module of the vehicle 100, such as the control motor, the battery valve 19b, etc., to meet the requirements of the vehicle 100 cab and various systems for the hot and cold of the vehicle 100, and realize the intelligent hot and cold control function of the vehicle 100.

[0089] Among them, the vehicle 100 energy manager can, according to the temperature requirements of the vehicle 100 cab and different systems, use the control method to give priority to the use of the cold energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 and the thermal energy of the fuel cell system 31. When the cold energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 is insufficient and the thermal energy of the fuel cell is insufficient, the cabin temperature adjustment component and the heater 28 heating system are used to supplement them, so as to minimize the energy consumption of the vehicle 100 while ensuring the comfort and safety of the vehicle 100.

[0090] The following is an explanation of the control method of the vehicle 100 in the high temperature environment, low temperature environment and normal temperature environment working modes:

[0091] Control method of high temperature environment working mode:

[0092] In summer or when the ambient temperature is higher than 30°C (calibrable), and the vehicle 100 energy manager collects the driver's signal to turn on the air conditioner, the first damper 21 is controlled to the first position 211, and the second damper 29 is controlled to the second position 212, so as to introduce liquid hydrogen gasification cold energy and reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner. When the temperature is lower than 15°C (calibrable), the first damper 21 is controlled to the second position 212, and the use of liquid hydrogen gasification cold energy is turned off. When the temperature is between 15°C and 30°C (calibrable), the position of the first damper 21 is controlled to preferentially use liquid hydrogen gasification cold energy to adjust the cab temperature, and the insufficient part is adjusted by the air conditioning compressor 26 system to adjust the cab temperature.

[0093] When the temperature of the fuel cell system 31 reaches 60°C (calibrable) or above and the fuel cell needs to dissipate heat, the energy manager of the vehicle 100 opens and adjusts the third three-way battery valve 63 and the fourth three-way battery valve 64 according to the needs of the vehicle 100, switches to the cold energy utilization mode, and controls the opening of the two three-way valves according to the target water temperature required by the vehicle 100 to control the water temperature of the fuel cell system 31. The cold energy of the liquid cooling system is used first to reduce energy consumption, and the insufficient part is supplemented by increasing the fan speed of the fuel cell cooling system. When the temperature of the fuel cell system 31 is lower than 60°C (calibrable), the energy manager of the vehicle 100 closes the third three-way battery valve 63 and the fourth three-way battery valve 64.

[0094] When the temperature of the power battery system 32 exceeds 36°C (calibrable), the energy manager of the vehicle 100 controls the opening of the fifth three-way battery valve 65 and the sixth three-way battery valve 66, and switches to the cold energy utilization mode. Liquid hydrogen cold energy is used to cool the power battery 321. When the temperature of the power battery system 32 is lower than 20°C (calibrable), the fifth three-way battery valve 65 and the sixth three-way battery valve 66 are closed.

[0095] When the temperature of the vehicle system 40 (such as the motor, controller and accessory water circuit of the vehicle 100) exceeds 60°C (calibrable), the energy manager of the vehicle 100 controls the opening of the seventh three-way battery valve 67 and the eighth three-way battery valve 68, and switches to the cold energy utilization mode. Liquid hydrogen cold energy is used to cool the motor water circuit system of the vehicle 100. When the temperature is lower than ℃ (calibrable), the seventh three-way battery valve 67 and the eighth three-way battery valve 68 are closed.

[0096] Control method of low temperature environment working mode:

[0097] In winter or when the temperature is below 0°C (calibrable), when the vehicle 100 turns on the heating mode, the vehicle 100 energy management controller controls the first damper 21 to the second position 212, and turns off the cab cold energy utilization mode. The second damper 29 is controlled to the second position 212, switching to the heat energy utilization mode, and the first three-way battery valve 61 and the second three-way battery valve 62 are controlled to the heat energy utilization mode, using the fuel cell waste heat to heat the vehicle 100 cab, giving priority to using the fuel cell waste heat, reducing the vehicle 100 PTC power consumption, and the insufficient part is supplemented by the vehicle 100 PTC.

[0098] When the temperature of the power battery system 32 is lower than 5°C (calibrable), the fifth three-way battery valve 65 and the sixth three-way battery valve 66 are opened, and the system switches to the heat energy utilization mode to use the waste heat of the fuel cell to heat the power battery 321. When the temperature is higher than ℃, the fifth three-way battery valve 65 and the sixth three-way battery valve 66 are closed.

[0099] Control method of normal temperature working mode: give priority to utilizing the cold energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10, the heat energy of the fuel cell system 31, and the heat energy of the vehicle system 40 to optimize the temperature of the cab environment and the temperature of the power battery 321. Ensure that the cab temperature is controlled between 20℃-26℃ (calibrable), and the temperature of the power battery 321 is controlled between 25℃-35℃ (calibrable).

[0100] The cold energy of the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 is preferentially used to cool the fuel cell system 31 and the vehicle system 40, reducing the fan speed of the two systems and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the heat of the fuel cell system 31 and the vehicle system 40 is used to provide energy for the liquid hydrogen gasification system 10 to gasify the liquid hydrogen.
