Figure 1As shown, the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit in the embodiment of the present application at least includes a compressor 1, a condensing fan 2 and an EC centrifugal fan 3.

Of course, the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit in the embodiment of the present application also includes other components and modules for cooling or heating the vehicle, such as: a frequency converter 6, an air purifier 7, a return air valve 8, a fresh air pressure wave valve 9, a four-way reversing valve 10, a gas-liquid separator 11, a waste exhaust pressure wave valve 12 and a waste exhaust valve 13.

Therefore, air-conditioning units that meet the requirements of cooling or heating rail vehicles are suitable for the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit in the embodiment of the present application. At the same time, the control unit that executes the control method in the embodiment of the present application is Figure 1 Not shown, the control unit is electrically connected to the compressor 100, the condensing fan 200 and the EC centrifugal fan 300. The control unit in the embodiment of the present application controls the compressor 100, the condensing fan 200 and the EC centrifugal fan 300 to control the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit in a low temperature environment to establish a stable high and low pressure difference, thereby avoiding low pressure protection during the startup phase of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit.

[0027] In this embodiment, a control method for a rail vehicle air conditioning unit is provided, which is applied to Figure 1 In the rail vehicle air conditioning unit shown, Figure 2 is a flow chart of a control method for a rail vehicle air conditioning unit according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S201: After receiving a heating request signal, the control unit obtains a first outdoor temperature.

[0029] In this embodiment, the ambient temperature of the heating condition adapted by the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit is below zero degrees, therefore, the control unit receives a heating request; at the same time, in this embodiment of the application, the control unit detects the outdoor temperature through a temperature sensor, and detects that the first outdoor temperature is below zero degrees, the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit is operating in a low temperature environment, and at the same time, the control unit controls the execution of the low temperature heating start-up phase.

[0030] Step S202, after determining that the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the control unit determines a matching temperature difference level based on the temperature difference information between the first temperature and the second preset temperature, and determines a corresponding preset low-temperature start-up mode based on the temperature difference level, wherein each preset low-temperature start-up mode corresponds to setting the start-up sequence of the compressor, the condensing fan and the EC centrifugal fan, setting the operating frequency of the compressor and setting the target exhaust side high pressure pressure of the compressor.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first preset temperature is the upper limit threshold of the ambient temperature for judging the low-temperature heating start mode in the embodiment of the present application. When the ambient temperature reaches below the first preset temperature, the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit is started in the low-temperature heating start mode.

[0032] In this embodiment, after determining that the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, it is necessary to determine the corresponding temperature difference level based on the temperature difference between the first temperature of the current environment and the preset low-temperature heating start ambient temperature threshold, that is, the temperature difference with the second preset temperature. Each temperature difference level is associated with a corresponding preset low-temperature start mode. For example: when the temperature level determined according to the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second preset temperature is Level I, and the preset low-temperature start mode corresponding to the temperature difference level of Level I is low-temperature start mode A, the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit is started according to low-temperature start mode A.

[0033] In this embodiment, referring to the following table, the correlation between the temperature difference level and the first temperature, the second preset temperature, and the low temperature start mode is as follows:

[0034] Serial number Temperature difference information Temperature difference level Low temperature start mode 1 b<t<a Ⅰ A 2 c<t<b Ⅱ B 3 t<c Ⅲ C

[0035] In some of the optional embodiments, the corresponding preset low-temperature start-up mode can be determined by comparing the first temperature with a plurality of set second preset temperatures, and by judging whether the second temperature is lower than the corresponding second preset temperature, the start-up mode of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit is determined to be the preset low-temperature start-up mode corresponding to the second preset temperature. For example, the second preset temperatures corresponding to the low-temperature start-up mode B and the low-temperature start-up mode C are set to b and c respectively. When the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, and the second temperature is lower than the second preset temperature b but higher than the second preset temperature c, then it is determined that the start-up mode of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit corresponds to the low-temperature start-up mode B.

[0036] In this embodiment, the compressor is a variable frequency compressor, and the compressor frequency limited by each low-temperature start-up mode is the maximum frequency of the compressor operation set in the corresponding low-temperature start-up mode. Within this maximum frequency, the speed of the compressor will not cause the low pressure on the suction side of the compressor to be too low, and the speed of the corresponding compressor within the maximum frequency adapts to the low-temperature start-up mode, wherein the maximum frequency is determined based on the lowest value of the low pressure in the low-temperature start-up stage, and at the same time, as the second preset temperature corresponding to the low-temperature start-up mode decreases, the maximum frequency value also decreases.

[0037] Step S203, after the control unit controls the compressor and the condensing fan to start in sequence according to the corresponding preset low-temperature start mode, it detects the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side of the compressor and determines whether the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is in the preset high-pressure pressure range.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the first temperature matches the second preset temperature defined by the corresponding low-temperature start mode, the condensing fan and the compressor are started in sequence, and the EC centrifugal fan is started with a delay. After the condensing fan and the compressor are started, the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side of the compressor gradually increases. The control unit checks the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side of the compressor and compares the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side with the set high-pressure pressure threshold, and accordingly controls the start-up and speed adjustment of the EC centrifugal fan.

[0039] In step S204, the control unit determines a pressure regulation mode corresponding to the judgment result of whether the high pressure on the exhaust side is in a preset high pressure range, and controls the EC centrifugal fan to operate in the corresponding pressure regulation mode.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the preset high-pressure pressure interval is determined according to the stable high-pressure pressure value during heating operation at different outdoor temperatures, that is, by controlling the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side to be equal to the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side at the temperature of the heating operation stage, so that a pressure difference is constructed between the exhaust side of the compressor and the suction side of the compressor during the low-temperature startup stage of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit, thereby ensuring that the low pressure is at a set safety value, avoiding the pressure drop that occurs when the EC centrifugal fan is turned on and drops to the low-pressure protection value and causing low-pressure protection, that is, before the low pressure reaches the low-pressure protection value, the pressure drop is slowed down and stopped by controlling the EC centrifugal fan.

[0041] In this embodiment, after determining the corresponding judgment result, the speed of the EC centrifugal fan will be controlled accordingly, that is, controlling the EC centrifugal fan to operate in the corresponding pressure regulation mode at least includes controlling the speed of the EC centrifugal fan; in this embodiment of the present application, before making a judgment on the speed control of the EC centrifugal fan, a judgment on the start-up control of the EC centrifugal fan is also made; therefore, controlling the EC centrifugal fan to operate in the corresponding pressure regulation mode includes controlling the start-up of the EC centrifugal fan and controlling the speed of the EC centrifugal fan; in this embodiment, the judgment on the start-up control of the EC centrifugal fan is by comparing the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side with the preset target high-pressure pressure. When the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is greater than the preset target high-pressure pressure, the EC centrifugal fan is controlled to start. Through the above steps S201 to S204, after receiving the heating request signal, the control unit obtains the first outdoor temperature; after judging that the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the control unit determines the matching temperature difference level according to the temperature difference information between the first temperature and the second preset temperature, and determines the corresponding preset low-temperature starting mode according to the temperature difference level, wherein each preset low-temperature starting mode corresponds to setting the starting sequence of the compressor, the condensing fan and the EC centrifugal fan, setting the operating frequency of the compressor and setting the target exhaust side high pressure pressure of the compressor; after the control unit controls the compressor and the condensing fan to start in sequence according to the corresponding preset low-temperature starting mode, the exhaust side high pressure pressure of the compressor is detected, and it is judged whether the exhaust side high pressure pressure is in the preset high pressure pressure range; the control unit determines the pressure regulation mode corresponding to the judgment result according to the judgment result of judging whether the exhaust side high pressure pressure is in the preset high pressure pressure range, and controls the EC centrifugal fan to operate according to the corresponding pressure regulation mode, so as to solve the problem that the low-temperature environment of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit is easy to cause the low-pressure protection of the compressor, realize the stable operation of the full air volume in the startup stage of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit in the low-temperature environment, and prevent the low-pressure protection of the compressor of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit.

[0042] In some of the embodiments, before determining the pressure relief mode corresponding to the judgment result, the following steps are further implemented:

[0043] Step 1: The control unit detects whether the high pressure on the exhaust side is greater than a preset target high pressure, wherein the preset target high pressure represents a high pressure value for low temperature startup corresponding to a preset low temperature startup mode.

[0044] In this embodiment, the preset target high pressure is determined according to the high and low pressure curves of heating startup at different indoor and outdoor temperatures, and the preset target high pressure is greater than the upper limit of the preset high pressure range.

[0045] Step 2: When the control unit detects that the high pressure on the exhaust side is greater than the preset target high pressure, the control unit controls the EC centrifugal fan to start.

[0046] The control unit in the above steps detects whether the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side is greater than the preset target high pressure pressure; when the control unit detects that the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side is greater than the preset target high pressure pressure, the control unit controls the EC centrifugal fan to start, thereby controlling the start of the EC centrifugal fan according to the comparison result between the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side and the target high pressure pressure, so that a pressure difference is formed between the exhaust side of the compressor and the suction side of the compressor during the low-temperature startup stage of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit, thereby ensuring that the low pressure is at a set safety value, and avoiding the pressure drop when the EC centrifugal fan is turned on to drop to the low pressure protection value and cause low pressure protection.

[0047] In some of the embodiments, the control unit determines the pressure regulation mode corresponding to the judgment result of whether the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side is in the preset high pressure range according to the judgment result by:

[0048] Step 1: After the control unit controls the EC centrifugal fan to start, the control unit detects whether the high pressure on the exhaust side drops to a preset high pressure range.

[0049] Step 2: The control unit determines the speed adjustment parameter corresponding to the pressure regulation mode according to the result of checking whether the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side drops to the preset high pressure pressure range, and adjusts the speed of the EC centrifugal fan according to the speed adjustment parameter to adjust the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side to the preset high pressure pressure range, wherein the speed adjustment parameter at least includes the speed adjustment method.

[0050] In this embodiment, the high pressure on the exhaust side is greater than the preset target high pressure, and the EC centrifugal fan has been started. However, the start-up of the EC centrifugal fan will cause the high pressure on the exhaust side to decrease. Therefore, after the EC centrifugal fan is started, the high pressure on the exhaust side will be detected. By detecting whether the high pressure on the exhaust side is in the preset high pressure range, the speed of the EC centrifugal fan is controlled, so that a pressure difference is created between the exhaust side of the compressor and the suction side of the compressor during the low-temperature start-up stage of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit, thereby ensuring that the low pressure is at a set safety value.

[0051] In the present embodiment, after the EC centrifugal fan is started, although the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side will decrease, within a period of time after the EC centrifugal fan is started, the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side will not drop below the preset high-pressure pressure range. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the speed of the EC centrifugal fan so that the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side can be quickly reduced to the preset high-pressure pressure range. When the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side drops to the preset high-pressure pressure range, due to the operation of the EC centrifugal fan, the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side will be reduced to maintain in the preset high-pressure pressure range or below the lower limit of the preset high-pressure pressure range. At this time, it is necessary to control the speed of the EC centrifugal fan to decrease, so that the pressure value of the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side generated by the operation of the EC centrifugal fan is not greater than the increase value of the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side generated by the operation of the compressor and the condensing fan. In this way, the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is maintained within the preset high-pressure pressure range.

[0052] In this embodiment, since it involves controlling the speed of the EC centrifugal fan and adjusting the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side, in this embodiment, the speed adjustment parameters include a speed adjustment method and a speed adjustment value corresponding to the speed adjustment method, wherein the speed adjustment method includes increasing the speed and reducing the speed, and the corresponding speed adjustment value includes a preset speed increase value and a preset speed drop value.

[0053] After the control unit controls the EC centrifugal fan to start in the above steps, the control unit detects whether the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side drops to the preset high-pressure pressure range; the control unit determines the speed adjustment parameter corresponding to the pressure regulation mode according to the result of checking whether the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side drops to the preset high-pressure pressure range, and adjusts the speed of the EC centrifugal fan according to the speed adjustment parameter, and adjusts the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side to the preset high-pressure pressure range, thereby adjusting the speed of the EC centrifugal fan according to the comparison result between the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side and the target high-pressure pressure, so that a pressure difference is formed between the exhaust side and the suction side of the compressor during the low-temperature startup stage of the rail vehicle air-conditioning unit, thereby ensuring that the low pressure is at the set safety value, and avoiding the pressure drop when the EC centrifugal fan is turned on to drop to the low-pressure protection value and cause low-pressure protection.

[0054] In some of the embodiments, the control unit determines the speed adjustment parameter corresponding to the pressure regulation mode according to the result of checking whether the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side falls into the preset high pressure pressure range, and adjusts the speed of the EC centrifugal fan according to the speed adjustment parameter by the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: When the control unit detects that the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side has not dropped to the preset high pressure pressure range, it determines that the speed adjustment method includes increasing the speed, and increases the speed of the EC centrifugal fan according to the preset speed increase value, and controls the EC centrifugal fan to operate at the increased first speed.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is higher than the upper limit of the preset high-pressure pressure range, the speed of the EC centrifugal fan is increased according to the preset speed increase value, so that the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is quickly reduced to the preset high-pressure pressure range, and the rail air-conditioning unit can operate stably at full air volume.

[0057] Step 2: When the control unit detects that the speed of the EC centrifugal fan has increased to the rated maximum speed and the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side has not dropped to the preset high pressure pressure range, the control unit controls the EC centrifugal fan to operate at the rated maximum speed.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the EC centrifugal fan increases its speed to the rated maximum speed, it still cannot reduce the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side to the preset high pressure pressure range. In this case, the EC centrifugal fan is controlled to operate at the rated maximum speed, so that the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side can be reduced to the preset high pressure pressure range after running for a preset time.

[0059] Step 3: When the control unit detects that the high pressure on the exhaust side is in the preset high pressure range, the control unit controls the EC centrifugal fan to operate at the current third speed.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the EC centrifugal fan operates at the current third speed, it is the speed at which the EC centrifugal fan operates when the control unit detects whether the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side is in a preset high pressure pressure range. In some optional implementations, the third speed includes one of the first speed and the second speed.

[0061] Step 4: When the control unit detects that the high pressure pressure on the exhaust side is less than the preset high pressure pressure range, it determines that the speed adjustment method includes reducing the speed, reducing the rotation of the EC centrifugal fan according to the preset speed drop value, and controlling the EC centrifugal fan to operate at the reduced second speed.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the high pressure on the exhaust side drops to the preset high pressure pressure range, the operation of the EC centrifugal fan will cause the high pressure on the exhaust side to drop to a low pressure value lower than the safety value, and the rail vehicle air conditioning unit will be protected from low pressure during the startup phase. At this time, it is necessary to control and reduce the speed of the EC centrifugal fan, so that the pressure value of the high pressure on the exhaust side generated by the operation of the EC centrifugal fan is not greater than the increase value of the high pressure on the exhaust side generated by the operation of the compressor and the condensing fan, so that the high pressure on the exhaust side is maintained within the preset high pressure pressure range. In some of the embodiments, adjusting the speed of the EC centrifugal fan according to the speed adjustment parameter is achieved in the following manner: the control unit performs PID control on the speed of the EC centrifugal fan according to the speed adjustment parameter.

[0063] In this embodiment, PID control is adopted to achieve precise control of the rotation speed of the EC centrifugal fan and to perform stepless speed regulation.

[0064] In some of the embodiments, the following steps are further implemented: when the control unit determines that the first temperature is not lower than the first preset temperature, the control unit controls the EC centrifugal fan, the condensing fan and the compressor to start in sequence.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the control unit determines that the first temperature is not lower than the first preset temperature, that is, the ambient temperature is not lower than the first preset temperature, it indicates that the conditions for the preset low-temperature start-up mode are not met. At this time, it is started in normal mode and the EC centrifugal fan, condensing fan and compressor are controlled to start in sequence.

[0066] In some of the embodiments, the rail vehicle air conditioning unit further implements the following process steps: Figure 3 The process of the control method of the rail vehicle air conditioning unit according to the preferred embodiment of the present application is as follows Figure 1 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S301: After receiving a heating request signal, the control unit obtains a first outdoor temperature.

[0068] Step S302, after determining that the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the control unit determines a matching temperature difference level based on the temperature difference information between the first temperature and the second preset temperature, and determines a corresponding preset low-temperature start-up mode based on the temperature difference level, wherein each preset low-temperature start-up mode corresponds to setting the start-up sequence of the compressor, the condensing fan and the EC centrifugal fan, setting the operating frequency of the compressor and setting the target exhaust side high pressure pressure of the compressor.

[0069] Step S303, after the control unit controls the compressor and the condensing fan to start in sequence according to the corresponding preset low-temperature start mode, it detects the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side of the compressor and determines whether the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is in the preset high-pressure pressure range.

[0070] Step S304, the control unit determines a pressure regulation mode corresponding to the judgment result of whether the high pressure on the exhaust side is in a preset high pressure range, and controls the EC centrifugal fan to operate in the corresponding pressure regulation mode.

[0071] Step S305, the control unit detects the running time of the compressor and the condensing fan after they are started in sequence, and when it is detected that the running time is greater than the first preset time, controls the compressor, the condensing fan and the EC centrifugal fan to exit the preset low-temperature start-up mode.

[0072] In this embodiment, by setting the time exit mode, when the low-temperature start mode runs for a preset time threshold, the low-temperature start mode is exited and the heating operation mode is entered. After entering the heating operation mode, the speed of the EC centrifugal fan is controlled according to the target high-pressure pressure corresponding to the current temperature, so that the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side of the compressor matches the target high-pressure pressure corresponding to the current temperature.

[0073] In some of the embodiments, the rail vehicle air conditioning unit further implements the following process steps: Figure 4 The process of the control method of the rail vehicle air conditioning unit according to the preferred embodiment of the present application is as follows Figure 2 ,like Figure 4 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0074] Step S401: After receiving a heating request signal, the control unit obtains a first outdoor temperature.

[0075] Step S402, after determining that the first temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the control unit determines a matching temperature difference level based on the temperature difference information between the first temperature and the second preset temperature, and determines a corresponding preset low-temperature start-up mode based on the temperature difference level, wherein each preset low-temperature start-up mode corresponds to setting the start-up sequence of the compressor, the condensing fan and the EC centrifugal fan, setting the operating frequency of the compressor and setting the target exhaust side high pressure pressure of the compressor.

[0076] Step S403, after the control unit controls the compressor and the condensing fan to start in sequence according to the corresponding preset low-temperature start mode, it detects the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side of the compressor and determines whether the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is in the preset high-pressure pressure range.

[0077] Step S404, the control unit determines a pressure regulation mode corresponding to the judgment result of whether the high pressure on the exhaust side is in a preset high pressure range, and controls the EC centrifugal fan to operate in the corresponding pressure regulation mode.

[0078] Step S405, when the control unit detects that the high pressure on the exhaust side is greater than a preset high pressure protection threshold, the compressor, the condensing fan and the EC centrifugal fan are controlled to exit the preset low temperature start mode.

[0079] In this embodiment, by setting the high-pressure exit mode, when the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side is greater than the high-pressure exit protection value, the low-temperature start-up mode is exited and the heating operation mode is entered. When the heating operation mode is entered, the speed of the EC centrifugal fan is controlled according to the target high-pressure pressure corresponding to the current temperature, so that the high-pressure pressure on the exhaust side of the compressor matches the target high-pressure pressure corresponding to the current temperature.
