[0053] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with one or more embodiments of this specification. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of one or more embodiments of this specification as detailed in the appended claims.
[0054] It should be noted that the steps of the corresponding methods are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in this specification in other embodiments. In some other embodiments, the methods may include more or fewer steps than described in this specification. Furthermore, a single step described in this specification may be broken down into multiple steps in other embodiments; and multiple steps described in this specification may be combined into a single step in other embodiments.
[0055] To address the aforementioned technical problems of low fuel efficiency and lack of energy conservation, this application provides a dynamic control method for the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system of a refrigerated transport vehicle. The method determines whether the refrigerated transport vehicle's driving status meets the hysteresis temperature correction condition. If the hysteresis temperature correction condition is met, the return air temperature limit of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system is corrected to obtain the corrected limit value. When the return air temperature of the unit reaches the corrected limit value, the opening and closing of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system is controlled. Thus, the need to correct the hysteresis temperature limit value is determined based on the refrigerated transport vehicle's driving status. This allows for control of the unit's operation according to the refrigerated transport vehicle's driving status, better reflecting the actual operating scenarios of the engine and compressor, and thus improving fuel efficiency and saving energy.
[0056] The dynamic control method of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle in this application embodiment is applied to the refrigerated transport vehicle.
[0057] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating the dynamic control method of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system of a refrigerated transport vehicle according to an embodiment of this application.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the dynamic control method of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle includes the following steps 110 to 130:
[0059] Step 110: Determine whether the driving status of the refrigerated transport vehicle meets the hysteresis temperature correction conditions.
[0060] The driving status of a refrigerated transport vehicle is used to reflect its speed.
[0061] Step 120: When the refrigerated transport vehicle's driving status reaches the hysteresis temperature correction condition, correct the return air temperature limit of the air conditioning chiller control system to obtain the corrected limit value.
[0062] The return air temperature limit value of the air conditioning chiller control system reflects the initial return air temperature reached by the air conditioning unit (also known as the chiller) under the control system. The revised limit value reflects the maximum return air temperature ultimately reached by the air conditioning chiller control system.
[0063] In some embodiments, the return air temperature limit of the air conditioning chiller control system includes an upper limit value for the return air temperature of the unit. In this case, when the return air temperature is initially reached, the clutch of the air conditioning chiller control system can disengage and stop the unit. Correspondingly, the modified limit value described above may be, but is not limited to, the modified upper limit value. See the following for a detailed explanation. Figure 4 As shown.
[0064] In some embodiments, the return air temperature limit of the unit in the air conditioning chiller control system includes the lower limit of the return air temperature of the unit in the air conditioning chiller control system. In this case, when the return air temperature is initially reached, the clutch of the air conditioning chiller control system remains engaged to store energy. Correspondingly, the modified limit value described above may, but is not limited to, the modified lower limit value. See the following for a detailed explanation. Figure 6 As shown.
[0065] The method further includes controlling the current hysteresis temperature of the air conditioning chiller control system to change according to the actual situation when the refrigerated transport vehicle's driving condition does not meet the hysteresis temperature correction condition. If the current hysteresis temperature is increasing, it continues to increase; if the current hysteresis temperature is decreasing, it continues to decrease.
[0066] Step 130: When the return air temperature of the unit reaches the corrected limit value, control the opening and closing of the air conditioning chiller control system.
[0067] Figure 2a As shown Figure 1 The diagram shows the detailed process flow of step 110 of the dynamic control method for the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle.
[0068] like Figure 2a The embodiment of step 110 shown may include, but is not limited to, the following steps 111a to 113a:
[0069] Step 111a: Determine the current speed of the refrigerated transport vehicle.
[0070] Figure 2b As shown Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system 22 and the GPS (Global Positioning System) remote monitoring system 21 of the refrigerated transport vehicle.
[0071] like Figure 2bAs shown, the air conditioning refrigeration control system 22 of the refrigerated transport vehicle is connected to both the GPS remote monitoring system 21 and the display control panel 23 of the air conditioning refrigeration control system 22. The air conditioning refrigeration control system 22 communicates with the GPS remote monitoring system 21 via a CAN (Controller Area Network) communication port to collect the GPS speed value of the refrigerated transport vehicle. The air conditioning refrigeration control system 22 may include, but is not limited to, an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) or an HMI (Human Machine Interface). The air conditioning refrigeration control system 22 and / or the GPS remote monitoring system 21 are used to perform fitting calculations on the current vehicle acceleration of the refrigerated transport vehicle to control the temperature hysteresis of the unit.
[0072] In the embodiment of step 111a above, the current vehicle speed is obtained through the GPS remote monitoring system 21. Thus, without obtaining permission from the vehicle manufacturer, a GPS remote monitoring system 21 related to the air conditioning refrigeration control system 22 can be independently generated to independently communicate with the air conditioning refrigeration control system 22 to obtain the vehicle speed. In another embodiment of step 111 above, the current vehicle speed is obtained through the central control panel of the refrigerated truck.
[0073] Step 112a: Determine the current vehicle acceleration based on the current vehicle speed.
[0074] Based on the current vehicle speed, a fitting calculation can be performed to obtain the current vehicle acceleration. Where V1 is the vehicle speed at the previous moment, V2 is the vehicle speed at the current moment, and T is the time difference between the previous moment and the current moment.
[0075] Step 113a: Determine whether the current vehicle acceleration meets the hysteresis temperature correction condition. This allows for a more convenient acquisition of the current vehicle speed and enables a timely and faster determination of whether the current vehicle acceleration meets the hysteresis temperature correction condition.
[0076] The method also includes determining that if the current vehicle acceleration does not meet the hysteresis temperature correction condition, then the current hysteresis temperature of the unit controlling the air conditioning chiller control system changes according to the actual situation.
[0077] In another embodiment of step 110, the first step is to obtain the overall speed of the refrigerated transport vehicle; based on the overall speed, determine the current overall vehicle acceleration. Specifically, the ratio of overall vehicle speed to time is used as the overall vehicle acceleration. The second step is to determine the engine speed of the refrigerated transport vehicle based on the current overall vehicle acceleration. The third step is to determine whether the engine speed of the refrigerated transport vehicle meets the hysteresis temperature correction condition.
[0078] Figure 3 Shown as Figure 2a Specific process schematic diagrams of step 120 and step 130 of the dynamic control method of the air-conditioning chiller control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle shown
[0079] Combined with Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b and Figure 3 In the embodiment of step 120, in step 121a, when the current vehicle acceleration is within the acceleration range, increase the upper limit value of the return air temperature limit value to obtain a corrected upper limit value, and the corrected upper limit value is used to delay the startup of the air-conditioning chiller control system
[0080] The above-mentioned current vehicle acceleration is within the acceleration range, such as 0 < k ≤ a, which is used to illustrate that the refrigerated transport vehicle is in an accelerating operation state. Where k is the optimal value of experimental data
[0081] In the embodiment of step 121a above, use a fixed value to increase the upper limit value of the return air temperature limit value to obtain a corrected upper limit value. The fixed value is, for example, but not limited to, ΔT, and is not limited here. In some other embodiments of step 121a above, according to the adjustment value corresponding to the current vehicle acceleration, increase the upper limit value of the return air temperature limit value to obtain a corrected upper limit value. Among them, the value corresponding to the current vehicle acceleration is determined from the corresponding relationship between the vehicle acceleration and the adjustment value
[0082] Combined with Figure 2b and Figure 3 Shown, use the air-conditioning chiller control system 22 to collect the GPS speed value of the GPS remote monitoring system 21. The GPS remote monitoring system 21 is installed on the refrigerated transport vehicle and is communicatively connected to the air-conditioning chiller control system 22. Combined with the software logic, determine the change situation of the current vehicle acceleration a, such as acceleration or deceleration, to control the temperature dead band of the unit operation: when the refrigerated transport vehicle is in the accelerating operation state of 0 < k ≤ a, the engine speed increases rapidly, the refrigerating capacity of the compressor increases, and at this time, the corrected upper limit value can increase the upper limit value of the return air temperature limit value, delay the engagement of the clutch, thereby improving the fuel efficiency
[0083] Continue Figure 3 In the embodiment of step 130, in step 131a, when the return air temperature of the unit reaches the corrected upper limit value, control the compressor clutch of the air-conditioning chiller control system 22 to engage. When the return air temperature of the unit does not reach the corrected upper limit value, continue to maintain the compressor of the air-conditioning chiller control system 22 in the off state
[0084] In Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment, when the current vehicle acceleration is within the acceleration range, the engine operation duration is reduced, the use of the air conditioner chiller control system is minimized as much as possible, the load is reduced, and energy is saved.
[0085] Figure 4 As shown Figure 2a Schematic flow diagram of the upper limit value of the return air temperature of the dynamic control method of the air conditioner chiller control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle shown.
[0086] When 0 < k ≤ a, where k is the optimal value of the experimental data. The refrigerated transport vehicle is in an accelerating state, the engine speed is very high, which drives the compressor speed of the air conditioner chiller control system to increase, and the refrigeration capacity increases. Therefore, it is very easy to reach the set temperature T / T2, and the clutch disconnects and stops.
[0087] At this time, the upper limit value of the return air temperature limit value is automatically corrected to T1 + ΔT by the air conditioner chiller control system. Compared with the original upper limit value T1 of the return air temperature, after the clutch disconnects, the unit's return air temperature needs to reach T1 + ΔT before the clutch will engage and start. This reduces the vehicle load, thereby improving fuel efficiency and achieving the purpose of energy saving.
[0088] Figure 5 As shown Figure 2a Schematic flow diagram of the specific steps 120 and 130 of the dynamic control method of the air conditioner chiller control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle shown.
[0089] Combined with Figure 2a 、 Figure 2b and Figure 5 In the embodiment of step 120, in step 121b, when the current vehicle acceleration is within the deceleration range, the lower limit value of the return air temperature limit value is adjusted downward to obtain a corrected lower limit value, and the corrected lower limit value is used to store cold for the air conditioner chiller control system. In the above embodiment of step 121b, a fixed value is used to adjust the lower limit value of the return air temperature limit value downward to obtain a corrected lower limit value. The fixed value is, for example but not limited to, ΔT, and is not limited herein. In another embodiment of step 121b, the lower limit value of the return air temperature limit value is adjusted downward according to the adjustment value corresponding to the current vehicle acceleration. Among them, the adjustment value corresponding to the current vehicle acceleration is determined from the corresponding relationship between the vehicle acceleration and the adjustment value.
[0090] The above current vehicle acceleration is within the deceleration range, such as a ≤ m ≤ 0, which is used to illustrate that the refrigerated transport vehicle is in a decelerating state.
[0091] When a refrigerated transport vehicle is in a deceleration state (a≤m≤0), the engine speed decreases, the fuel efficiency of the combustion engine is higher, and the fuel in the combustion engine releases energy. At this time, lowering the lower limit of the return air temperature allows the cargo temperature to be even lower. This results in a longer temperature recovery time during subsequent refrigerated truck operation, reducing the subsequent engine operating time and improving fuel efficiency, thus achieving energy savings. This is particularly beneficial for applications with less stringent temperature control requirements or where refrigeration is a more economical option.
[0092] continue Figure 5 In the embodiment of step 130, step 131b involves disengaging the compressor clutch of the air conditioning chiller control system when the return air temperature of the unit reaches the corrected lower limit.
[0093] exist Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, when the current vehicle acceleration is within the deceleration range, the lower limit of the return air temperature is adjusted to store cold for the air conditioning refrigeration control system. Thus, when the current vehicle speed decreases, the overflow energy of the combustion engine fuel is used for cold storage, improving fuel efficiency and thereby saving energy.
[0094] Figure 6 As shown Figure 2a The diagram shows a flow chart of the return air temperature limit of the dynamic control method of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle.
[0095] like Figure 6 As shown, when a≤m≤0, where m is the optimal value of the experimental data. Refrigerated transport vehicles are in a deceleration state, with a relatively slow engine speed and generally high fuel efficiency. Under normal deceleration or downhill conditions, the combustion consumption of the fuel engine is high, and the engine speed is low. At this time, energy overflows and is wasted, unable to be converted. However, by storing energy here, only the excess energy consumed by the fuel engine is consumed. In subsequent processes, extending the recovery time of the return air temperature prolongs the cooling effect, thus saving energy.
[0096] At this point, the air conditioning chiller control system automatically adjusts the lower limit of the return air temperature to T2-ΔT. Compared to the original lower limit of T2, the unit needs to operate until T2-ΔT before the compressor clutch disengages, resulting in a lower cargo temperature. This means that the temperature recovery time is longer during subsequent refrigerated transport vehicle operation, thus reducing the subsequent operating time. This reduces the vehicle load, thereby improving fuel efficiency and achieving energy savings.
[0097] In some embodiments, the driving status of the refrigerated transport vehicle includes the current vehicle acceleration; the method further includes the following two steps. The first step is to determine the current correction step number of the electronic expansion valve corresponding to the current vehicle acceleration, based on a pre-established correspondence between the correction step number of the electronic expansion valve and the current vehicle acceleration. The second step is to adjust the step number of the electronic expansion valve based on the current correction step number and the return air temperature of the unit. Thus, the current vehicle acceleration serves as an auxiliary control parameter for the evaporative electronic expansion valve to achieve energy saving and emission reduction.
[0098] The pre-established relationship between the correction steps of the electronic expansion valve and the current vehicle acceleration can be the current vehicle acceleration and the compressor speed. The opening degree of the electronic expansion valve can be obtained through experiments. As long as it is qualitatively guaranteed to be consistent with the changing trend of the air conditioning refrigeration control system, a good control effect can be obtained.
[0099] Compared to related technologies, where electronic expansion valves in VP (Vehicle Premise) refrigerated trucks cannot confirm compressor speed, leading to abrupt changes in electronic expansion valve control, this embodiment uses the current vehicle acceleration as an auxiliary control parameter to ensure the control accuracy of the electronic expansion valve. Upon obtaining the current vehicle acceleration, a virtual superheat is applied to the EEV (Enhanced Environmentally Friendly Vehicle) to ensure the linkage and interaction between compressor speed and EEV opening control. This matches the flow rate of the air conditioning chiller control system with the compressor input power, ensuring the control accuracy of the electronic expansion valve and improving system reliability and stability. Furthermore, it improves the energy efficiency and temperature control accuracy of the VP unit, further enhancing energy savings.
[0100] Figure 7 As shown Figure 1 Another specific flowchart illustrating the dynamic control method of the air conditioning refrigeration unit control system of the refrigerated transport vehicle.
[0101] Figure 7 The implementation example is similar to Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated embodiment, compared to Figures 1 to 6 The illustrated embodiment, in Figure 7 In this embodiment, the driving status of the refrigerated transport vehicle includes the current vehicle acceleration; step 110 may include, but is not limited to, step 111b, determining the current vehicle speed of the refrigerated transport vehicle. Step 112b determines whether the change in the current vehicle speed meets the hysteresis temperature correction condition. This allows for a more convenient acquisition of the current vehicle speed and enables timely and faster determination of whether the change in the current vehicle speed meets the hysteresis temperature correction condition.
[0102] Continue as Figure 7 Step 120 shown may further include step 121c, where, given the increased vehicle speed, the upper limit of the return air temperature limit is increased to obtain a corrected upper limit. This corrected upper limit is used to delay the activation of the air conditioning chiller control system. The method for determining "increase" in this step is similar to... Figure 6 The process for determining the "adjustment" in step 121a above is the same and can be referred to in the process described above; it will not be repeated here. Step 130 may further include step 131c, which involves controlling the compressor clutch of the air conditioning chiller control system to engage when the return air temperature of the unit reaches the corrected upper limit value. In this way, when the vehicle speed increases, the engine operating time is reduced, minimizing the use of the air conditioning chiller control system, reducing the load, and saving energy.
[0103] Continue as Figure 7 Step 120 shown may further include step 121d, which, when the current vehicle speed decreases, reduces the lower limit of the return air temperature limit to obtain a corrected lower limit. This corrected lower limit is used to store cold for the air conditioning chiller control system. The method for determining "reducing" in this step is similar to... Figure 6 The process for determining the "reduction" in step 121b above is the same and can be referred to in the process described above; it will not be repeated here. Step 130 may further include step 131d, whereby, when the return air temperature of the unit reaches the corrected lower limit, the compressor clutch of the air conditioning chiller control system is disengaged. Thus, when the current vehicle speed decreases, the lower limit of the return air temperature is corrected, allowing the air conditioning chiller control system to store cold. This storage can utilize the overflow energy of the fuel from the combustion engine, improving fuel efficiency and thus saving energy.
