[0043] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation.

[0044] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present application may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present application.
[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining the opening degree of an electronic expansion valve for vehicles, as shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application. (Reference) Figure 1 It can be seen that the method for determining the opening degree of the vehicle's electronic expansion valve may include:
[0046] Step S110: Obtain the air conditioning control request, the battery pack temperature control request, and the adjustment parameters.
[0047] In one embodiment of this application, an air conditioning control request, a battery pack temperature control request, and adjustment parameters can be obtained. The air conditioning control request may include a heating request, a cooling request, and a heating request without cooling. The battery pack temperature control request may include a cooling request and a no-control request. An air conditioning request may simultaneously include both cooling and heating requests, in which case the air conditioning is heating but the vehicle's interior humidity needs to be adjusted.
[0048] Step S120: Determine the first opening degree, the second opening degree, the third opening degree, and the fourth opening degree according to the adjustment parameters.
[0049] In one embodiment of this application, the adjustment parameters may include evaporator temperature, evaporator target temperature, evaporator outlet superheat, evaporator outlet target superheat, battery inlet water temperature, battery inlet target water temperature, battery cooler outlet superheat, battery cooler outlet target superheat, battery water temperature, and target water temperature. The evaporator temperature, evaporator outlet superheat, battery inlet water temperature, battery cooler outlet superheat, and battery water temperature can be acquired by various sensors installed in the heat pump air conditioning system. The evaporator target temperature, evaporator outlet target superheat, battery inlet target water temperature, battery cooler outlet target superheat, and target water temperature can be preset by the operator according to the characteristics of the vehicle and the heat pump air conditioning system installed in the vehicle.
[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, step S120, which determines the first opening degree, the second opening degree, the third opening degree, and the fourth opening degree according to the adjustment parameters, may include steps S121 to S124.
[0051] Step S121: Determine the first deviation based on the evaporator temperature and the target evaporator temperature in the adjustment parameters, and determine the first opening degree based on the first deviation.
[0052] In one embodiment of this application, a first deviation can be determined based on the evaporator temperature and the target evaporator temperature, and a first opening degree can be determined based on the first deviation and formulas (1), (2), (3), and (4). First deviation = evaporator temperature - target evaporator temperature.
[0053] NCC n1 =NCC n1-1 +NCC e1 (1)
[0054] NCC e1 =A n1 +B n1 (2)
[0055] A n1 =P cc1 *M1; (3)
[0056] B n1 =I cc1 *M1+B n1-1 (4)
[0057] Among them, NCC n1 As the first opening degree at the current moment, NCC n1-1 The first opening degree at the previous moment (this value is 0 when the first opening degree is calculated for the first time), M1 first deviation, P cc1 For the first calibration P parameter, I cc1 This is the first calibration I parameter. That is, the NCC is calculated based on PI. e1 .
[0058] In one embodiment of this application, P cc1 Calibration can be performed based on the blower's airflow rating and ambient temperature. cc1 Calibration can be performed based on the blower's air volume rating and multiple preset first deviations.
[0059] Step S122: Determine the second deviation based on the evaporator outlet superheat and the target evaporator outlet superheat in the adjustment parameters, and determine the second opening degree based on the second deviation.
[0060] In one embodiment of this application, a second deviation can be determined based on the evaporator outlet superheat and the target evaporator outlet superheat, and a second opening degree can be determined based on the second deviation and formulas (5), (6), (7), and (8). Second deviation = evaporator outlet superheat - evaporator outlet target superheat.
[0061] NCC n2 =NCC n2 -1+NCC e2 (5)
[0062] NCC e2 =A n2 +B n2 (6)
[0063] A n2 =P cc2 *M2; (7)
[0064] B n2 =I cc2 *M2+B n2 -1; (8)
[0065] Among them, NCC n2 For the second opening at the current moment, NCC n2 -1 represents the second opening at the previous moment, M2 represents the second deviation, and P represents... cc2 For the second calibration P parameter, I cc2This is the second calibration I parameter.
[0066] In one embodiment of this application, P cc2 and I cc2 Calibration can be performed based on multiple preset second deviations.
[0067] Step S123: Determine the third deviation based on the battery inlet water temperature and the target battery inlet water temperature in the adjustment parameters, and determine the third opening degree based on the third deviation.
[0068] In one embodiment of this application, a third deviation can be determined based on the battery inlet water temperature and the target battery inlet water temperature, and a third opening degree can be determined based on the third deviation and formulas (9), (10), (11), and (12). Third deviation = battery inlet water temperature - battery inlet target water temperature.
[0069] NCC n3 =NCC n3-1 +NCC e3 (9)
[0070] NCC e3 =A n3 +B n3 (10)
[0071] A n3 =P cc3 *M3; (11)
[0072] B n3 =I cc3 *M3+B n3-1 (12)
[0073] Among them, NCC n3 The third opening at the current moment, NCC n3 -1 represents the third opening at the previous moment, M3 represents the third deviation, and P represents the third deviation. cc3 For the third calibration P parameter, I cc3 This is the third calibration parameter I.
[0074] In one embodiment of this application, P cc3 Calibration can be performed based on the battery's internal temperature and the ambient temperature. cc3 Calibration can be performed based on the blower's air volume rating and multiple preset first deviations.
[0075] Step S124: Determine the fourth deviation based on the battery cooler outlet superheat and the target superheat of the battery cooler outlet in the adjustment parameters, and determine the fourth opening degree based on the fourth deviation.
[0076] In one embodiment of this application, a fourth deviation can be determined based on the battery cooler outlet superheat and the battery cooler outlet target superheat, and a fourth opening degree can be determined based on the fourth deviation and formulas (13), (14), (15), and (16). Fourth deviation = battery cooler outlet superheat - battery cooler outlet target superheat.
[0077] NCC n4 =NCC n4-1 +NCC e4 (13)
[0078] NCC e4 =A n4 +B n4 (14)
[0079] A n4 =P cc4 *M4; (15)
[0080] B n4 =I cc4 *M4+B n4-1 (16)
[0081] Among them, NCC n4 The fourth opening at the current moment, NCC n4 -1 represents the fourth opening at the previous moment, M4 represents the fourth deviation, and P represents the fourth deviation. cc4 For the fourth calibration P parameter, I cc4 This is the fourth calibration parameter I.
[0082] In one embodiment of this application, P cc2 and I cc2 Calibration can be performed based on multiple preset fourth deviations.
[0083] Step S130: Based on the air conditioning control request, the battery pack temperature control request, and the adjustment parameters, determine the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve among the first opening degree, the second opening degree, and the preset opening degree, and determine the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve among the third opening degree, the fourth opening degree, and the preset opening degree.
[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, step S130, which determines the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve in the first opening degree and the second opening degree based on the air conditioning control request, the battery pack temperature control request, and the adjustment parameters, and determines the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve in the third opening degree and the fourth opening degree, may include steps S131 to S136.
[0085] Step S131: When the air conditioning request includes both heating and cooling requests, the first opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve, and the fourth opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0086] In one embodiment of this application, the battery pack temperature control request can be any one of no control request, battery pack heating request, or battery pack cooling request. When the air conditioning request includes both heating and cooling requests, the ambient temperature of the vehicle is low and the humidity inside the vehicle needs to be changed. If the battery pack temperature control request is a battery pack cooling request, the battery pack temperature can be mainly adjusted through other circuits (e.g., water circuit). The second electronic expansion valve can be used for auxiliary adjustment. Therefore, the battery pack temperature control request can be disregarded in step S131. As long as the air conditioning request includes both heating and cooling requests, step S131 can be executed to adjust the opening of the first electronic expansion valve and the opening of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0087] Step S132: When the air conditioner requests heating, the preset opening degree is used as the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve, and the fourth opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0088] In one embodiment of this application, when the air conditioning request is a heating request, the ambient temperature of the vehicle is low, so the battery pack temperature control request can be disregarded. The preset opening degree can be used as the first electronic expansion valve opening degree, and the fourth opening degree can be determined as the second electronic expansion valve opening degree.
[0089] For example, the preset opening can be 0.
[0090] Step S133: When the air conditioner requests cooling, the battery pack temperature control requests cooling, and the battery water temperature in the adjustment parameters is greater than the target water temperature, the first opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve, and the fourth opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0091] In one embodiment of this application, when the air conditioning request is a cooling request, the battery pack temperature control request is a battery pack cooling request, and the battery water temperature in the adjustment parameters is greater than the target water temperature, the passenger compartment and the battery pack both need cooling. However, since the vehicle battery pack cooling has a higher priority than air conditioning cooling, the temperature of the battery cooler needs to be used as the main adjustment parameter.
[0092] Step S134: When the air conditioner request is a cooling request, the battery pack temperature control request is a no-control request, and the battery water temperature is greater than the target water temperature, the second opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve, and the preset opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0093] In one embodiment of this application, when the air conditioning request is a cooling request, the battery pack temperature control request is a no-control request (that is, the battery pack does not need to cool), and the battery water temperature is greater than the target water temperature, the second opening degree can be determined as the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve, and the preset opening degree can be determined as the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0094] Step S135: When the air conditioner requests cooling, the battery pack temperature control requests cooling, and the battery water temperature is less than or equal to the target water temperature, the second opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve, and the third opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0095] Step S136: When the air conditioner requests no cooling or heating, and the battery pack temperature control requests battery pack cooling, the preset opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve, and the fourth opening degree is determined as the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0096] In this embodiment, the battery pack temperature is controlled by the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve.
[0097] Please see Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another method for determining the opening degree of an electronic expansion valve for vehicles provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0098] After determining the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve, the compressor speed can be controlled to adjust the temperature of the heating core to the target temperature of the heating core, or the compressor speed can be controlled to adjust the temperature of the evaporator to the target temperature of the evaporator, or the compressor speed can be controlled to adjust the temperature of the battery inlet water to the target temperature of the battery inlet water.
[0099] Figure 3 This is a block diagram of a heat pump air conditioning system provided in an embodiment of this application. The opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve in the heat pump air conditioning system can be determined using the vehicle electronic expansion valve opening degree determination method provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0100] The heat pump air conditioning system mainly consists of a low-temperature radiator 301, a blower 302, an evaporator 303, a heater core 304, a first electronic expansion valve 305, a battery pack 306, a second electronic expansion valve 307, a battery cooler 308, an electric compressor 309, a water-cooled condenser 310, and a motor heat exchanger 311. The refrigerant flowing between the evaporator 303, the first electronic expansion valve 305, the second electronic expansion valve 307, the battery cooler 308, the electric compressor 309, and the water-cooled condenser 310 is refrigerant, typically R134a or R1234yf type refrigerant. Automotive antifreeze flows between the low-temperature radiator 301, the heater core 304, and the water-cooled condenser 310; automotive antifreeze also flows between the battery pack 306, the battery cooler 308, and the motor heat exchanger 311.
[0101] The first electronic expansion valve 305 and the second electronic expansion valve 307 are core components of the entire air conditioning heat pump system. On the one hand, they regulate the circulation of refrigerant throughout the system, control the superheat at the heat exchanger outlet, and prevent liquid slugging in the compressor. On the other hand, they throttle and reduce the pressure of the refrigerant to facilitate its heat absorption. Furthermore, the first electronic expansion valve 305 and the second electronic expansion valve 307 must meet the needs of multiple functions, including passenger compartment cooling, passenger compartment heating, and battery pack cooling.
[0102] In summary, the method of this application embodiment obtains air conditioning control requests, battery pack temperature control requests, and adjustment parameters, and determines a first opening degree, a second opening degree, a third opening degree, and a fourth opening degree based on the adjustment parameters. Finally, based on the air conditioning control requests, battery pack temperature control requests, and adjustment parameters, it determines the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve from the first opening degree, the second opening degree, and the preset opening degree, and determines the opening degree of the second electronic expansion valve from the third opening degree, the fourth opening degree, and the preset opening degree. The opening degrees of the first and second electronic expansion valves can be determined based on the air conditioning control requests, battery pack temperature control requests, and adjustment parameters. Because the opening degrees of the first and second electronic expansion valves are determined through the air conditioning control requests and battery pack temperature control requests, the stability of the vehicle electronic expansion valve opening determination method is higher, thereby improving the stability of the heat pump air conditioning system.
