Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air-conditioning equipment, and in particular relates to an air-conditioning supply and return air structure, an air-conditioning system and a control method thereof for buses. Background Art
[0002] The widely used air conditioning supply and return system for buses currently uses an "upward supply and upward return" airflow organization method. The air conditioner supplies air to the air supply duct that runs through the front and back of the bus body. The air supply duct then supplies air into the bus through the strip grilles on the roof above the window seats on both sides. The air conditioner returns air through the rectangular return air vents on the roof above the aisle in the middle of the bus. In this existing solution, the distance between many supply and return air vents is too short. From the perspective of airflow organization, when the air conditioner is operating at a low supply air speed, the airflow from the supply vents will change direction and flow back upward to the return air vents just as it moves downward to the space where the passengers are located due to the close distance between the return air vents and the supply air vents. The supplied cold air mainly cools the space near the upper part of the bus roof, but the cooling effect on the lower and middle spaces where the passengers sit is insufficient. This results in a technical problem in which the spatial distribution of cold air does not meet the actual cooling needs, resulting in a certain degree of energy waste. While using a higher air speed can expand the cooling area to cover the entire space, it can cause passengers to experience a strong draft and feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, a higher air speed means a greater air volume, which is detrimental to air conditioning energy conservation. Furthermore, for passengers at the ends of the vehicle, far from the return air vents, polluted air mixed with their respiratory exhaust cannot be quickly expelled, resulting in a certain degree of deterioration in air quality.
[0003] In order to reduce energy waste and achieve more reasonable and comfortable air-conditioning supply, it is necessary to improve the airflow organization form in the bus, so that the airflow path from supply air to return air passes more through the middle and lower part of the car where the passengers are located, and can achieve sufficient and uniform heat exchange between the cold air flow and the air inside the car.
[0004] On the other hand, different passengers have distinctly different requirements for in-car temperature comfort. Compared to younger and middle-aged people, middle-aged and elderly passengers have lower requirements for cooling temperatures and air speeds, sometimes even feeling a bit cold. Younger and middle-aged passengers, on the other hand, prefer lower air-conditioning temperatures. This difference in demand has led to the need for differentiated compartments with strong and weak cooling in urban rail transit. However, existing bus air conditioning systems lack a simple, effective, and flexible way to differentiate spatial temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The working mode also includes an automatic mode, and the control method of the automatic mode includes: while executing the current working mode, the control device confirms whether to switch to other working modes based on decision condition data.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) When the working mode is normal mode, in the two phases of a cycle, the cold air flow is sent out from the air supply port of the air supply channel on one side of the bus and returns to the return air port of the return air channel on the other side, basically flowing through the left and right horizontal spans of the entire bus. The air flow goes down more thoroughly, mixes better with the air in the bus, and has a more uniform cooling effect. Especially at a relatively small air supply speed, compared with the existing technical solution in which part of the cold air will quickly flow back to the nearby return air port, resulting in low cooling efficiency, the technical solution of the present invention can better achieve cooling of the middle and lower part of the space where passengers are located under the same air supply volume, with higher utilization rate of cold capacity and better cooling effect, thereby saving energy and reducing emissions. In the two phases of a cycle, the positions of the supply and return air vents are different. In the first phase, one side serves as the supply vent, while the second phase serves as the return vent. Similarly, in the first phase, the other side serves as the return vent. After multiple cycles of cyclic control, the cooling capacity received by both sides is always the same, and the temperature difference is controlled within a very small range. This can compensate for the temperature difference between the two sides of the space caused by one side supplying air and the other side returning air during a certain period of time in a cycle, achieving better air conditioning uniformity. The continuously switching supply and return air flow organization can also effectively avoid the convection dead zone phenomenon caused by long-term stable air supply in confined spaces, and has a better effect on improving air quality.
[0016] (2) When the working mode is peak mode, by differentially allocating the air supply time to the front and rear parts within a cycle, the cooling capacity delivered to the front of the bus is controlled to be greater than that to the rear of the bus within a cycle. This can adapt to the situation during peak hours where the cooling demand at the front of the bus is higher than that at the rear due to the large space at the front of the bus, crowded standing passengers, frequent door opening and closing, and longer door opening and closing times, thereby ensuring a balanced comfort level for the front and rear passengers.
[0017] (3) When the working mode is strong or weak cooling mode, by differentially allocating the air supply time to the front and rear parts of the interior space within a cycle, the cooling amount delivered to the rear of the car is controlled to be greater than that to the front of the car within a cycle. This allows a large number of elderly people riding the bus to be in a relatively comfortable temperature condition, while the higher cooling requirements of young and middle-aged people can also be met by actively choosing seats in the strong cooling zone.
[0018] (4) When the working mode is the light adaptation mode, the ventilation valve is turned to the open state to achieve uneven distribution of cooling capacity on both sides of the vehicle within one cycle, so that passengers on the side that receives extra heat due to direct sunlight can receive a relatively greater cooling effect, thereby maintaining a balance in the comfort level on both sides of the vehicle.
[0019] (5) The present invention realizes more flexible control of the supply and return air by designing the air-conditioning supply and return air structure for buses, while not placing more requirements on the bus air-conditioner. It is basically compatible with the existing bus space structure and on-board air-conditioning equipment, and the corresponding cost of improving the supply and return air is relatively low.

[0031] Each air supply channel is divided into three sections: front, middle and rear by the air supply valve. Specifically, the first air supply channel 11 is divided into a first air supply channel front section 111, a first air supply channel middle section 112 and a first air supply channel rear section 113 by the first air supply front air valve 311 and the first air supply rear air valve 312. The second air supply channel 12 is divided into a second air supply channel front section 121, a second air supply channel middle section 122 and a second air supply channel rear section 113 by the second air supply front air valve 323 and the second air supply rear air valve 324. 23; Each return air channel is divided into three sections by the return air valve. Specifically, the first return air channel 21 is divided into the first return air channel front section 211, the first return air channel middle section 212, and the first return air channel rear section 213 by the first return air front air valve 321 and the first return air rear air valve 322.

[0032] Preferably, the air supply duct is arranged on the top side of the vehicle compartment and extends from the front end to the rear end of the vehicle compartment. The inlet is arranged in the middle of the air supply duct, the inlet is in the shape of a rectangle, and the air supply outlet is a bar grille. The outlet is arranged in the middle of the return air duct, the outlet is in the shape of a rectangle, and the return air outlet is equipped with a grille-type protective filter. The return air chamber is arranged at the top center of the vehicle compartment. The return air box is square, and the side opening of the return air box is in the shape of a rectangle. The design of the inlet allows the cold air to flow into the air supply duct through the inlet and supply air to various places in the vehicle compartment. The design of the outlet allows the air returning from the return air duct to flow back to the return air chamber through the outlet. The side opening of the return air box allows the air returning from the return air box to flow back to the return air chamber through the opening of the return air box. Furthermore, in order to balance the reduction in return air pressure difference caused by the structures of the first return air channel and the second return air channel, a small fan can be installed above the return air cavity to provide return air suction to assist air return flow, and adjust the speed according to actual conditions.
[0033] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the air supply duct decreases proportionally from the middle portion near the air conditioner to the ends away from the air conditioner. This balances pressure and achieves a certain degree of uniform air supply from front to back. The cross-sectional area of the middle section of the air supply duct is larger than the cross-sectional areas of the front and rear sections of the air supply duct. The cross-sectional areas of the front and rear sections of the air supply duct gradually increase from farther away from the middle section to closer to the middle section, until they reach the same cross-sectional dimensions as the middle section of the air supply duct, where they then connect to the middle section to achieve a smooth transition of airflow.
[0034] The size of each air valve of the present invention is adapted to the cross-sectional size of the corresponding channel. Specifically, the air valve rotates in the channel around the axis of its connection position to adjust the amount of air that can enter. When the blades of the air valve rotate to be completely perpendicular to the upper and lower walls of the channel, the amount of air that can enter the channel per unit time is almost zero, and the channel is in a closed state. When the blades of the air valve rotate to be completely parallel to the upper and lower walls of the channel, the amount of air that can enter the channel per unit time is almost the same as when no air valve is provided, and the channel is in an open state.

The body temperature calculation module is used to calculate the temperature and humidity data obtained by the temperature detection module and the humidity detection module. The command input panel is used by the driver to input commands to the control device. The control device includes an interaction module, a decision module, a deployment module, a control module, and a storage module. The control device is used to receive data from the body temperature calculation module and the detection module. The control module controls the opening or closing of each air valve by driving the motor.

[0039] To better represent the control process, similar to how intersection signal control allocates different travel times for each road within a signal cycle, the present invention allocates the duration of use of each supply and return air duct segment within a cycle for the air supply and return air control method of an air conditioning system.

[0048] S101: In the first phase, at 0 sec after the cycle starts, the control device controls the first air supply front air valve and the second air supply rear air valve to be turned to the open state, and controls the first air supply rear air valve and the second air supply front air valve to be turned to the closed state. Specifically, the control device controls the execution motor of the air volume regulating valve to rotate the blades of each air valve to achieve the desired opening and closing state, so that the cold air flow entering the middle section of the first air supply channel from the air inlet of the middle section of the first air supply channel does not enter the rear section of the first air supply channel, but can be sent into the bus from the various bar grille air outlets of the front section of the first air supply channel, and the cold air flow entering the middle section of the second air supply channel from the air outlet of the middle section of the second air supply channel does not enter the front section of the second air supply channel, but can be sent into the bus from the various bar grille air outlets of the rear section of the second air supply channel;
[0049] The control device controls the first return air rear air valve and the second return air front air valve to be turned to the open state, and controls the first return air front air valve and the second return air rear air valve to be turned to the closed state, so that the air returning to the air conditioner is drawn into the bus from the return air outlets of the first return air duct front section and the second return air duct rear section, and the return air outlets of the first return air duct rear section and the second return air duct front section do not draw in the bus air. The control device controls the connecting air valve and the central air valve to be turned to the closed state, and the connecting air valve and the central air valve remain in the closed state throughout the entire cycle thereafter;
[0050] S102: In the period of 0 seconds after the cycle starts, at time T c The control module receives the data of the cycle length T of the current cycle calculated by the allocation module. It can be guaranteed that
[0051] S103: The opening and closing process of the air valve lasts for about 5 seconds. The cycle begins During this time period, the control device does not issue any control instructions to the actuator of the air valve, and the air valve remains in its current state. T is the duration of the current cycle.
[0052] S104: Cycle starts When the air conditioner enters the second phase, the control device controls the first air supply front air valve and the second air supply rear air valve to be closed, and controls the first air supply rear air valve and the second air supply front air valve to be opened. The control device controls the first return air rear air valve and the second return air front air valve to be closed, and controls the first return air rear air valve and the second return air front air valve to be opened.
[0053] S105: The opening and closing process of the air valve lasts for about 5 seconds. The cycle begins During the time period, the control device does not issue any control instructions to the actuator of the air valve, and the air valve maintains its current state.
[0054] In the next cycle, the steps are the same as above, except that in S102, within the period of 0 sec after the cycle starts, at time T c , the control module receives data of the cycle duration T' of the current cycle calculated by the allocation module.
[0055] Comparison of airflow organization in two phases within a cycle, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, taking the front space of a bus as an example, the two airflow organizations are constantly changing, with the airflow supplying from one side and returning to the other side, so that the cold airflow can cool the middle and lower space of the bus where the passengers are located. The change law of the air valve state in a cycle is as follows: Figure 7 shown.
[0056] In S102, the sub-control method for the allocation module to calculate the cycle durations T and T' includes the following sub-steps:
[0057] SA01: The deployment module obtains from the decision module whether the current working mode is normal mode. If so, it continues to execute the following steps. If not, it ends the control process.
[0058] SA02: The allocation module sends a control instruction to the body temperature calculation module to control the body temperature calculation module to execute the temperature calculation algorithm executed when the supply and return air mode is the normal mode;
[0059] SA03: The body temperature calculation module obtains t1, h1, t2, h2, t from the detection module b 、h b ;
[0060] SA04: The sensory temperature calculation module is set every time T s , calculate t through t1 and h1 g1 , through t b 、h b Calculate t gb ;
[0061] SA05: The sensory temperature calculation module is set every time T s , according to t g1 , t g2 , take the average of the two to get the current average measured body temperature t gi ;
[0062] SA06: The sensory temperature calculation module is set every time T s When receiving sensor data, the current phase in the current cycle and the start time of the current phase T are obtained from the allocation module. x , and according to the phase timestamp information, read the last output sensible return air temperature value t of the previous phase stored temporarily mo ;
[0063] SA07: Based on the obtained time information, calculate {a} represents the largest integer not less than a, and the order number n of the sensor data received in the current phase is obtained, that is, the nth reception;
[0064] SA08: If n=1, the sensible temperature calculation module calculates the current output sensible return air temperature t o =k1·t mo +k2·t gb , where k1 and k2 satisfy k1=f(T x ), k2=1-k1, where k1 varies with T xIncreases monotonically, k2 decreases with T x The increase is monotonically increasing, and k1, k2∈(0,1). If n>1, read the last time, T x -T s The current measured return air temperature t gb ", that is, n-1 times of measured perceived return air temperature t lb , and T x The current measured return air temperature t received at the moment gb , subtract the measured return air temperature difference Δt=|t lb -t gb |,f(T x ) will be adjusted according to a certain functional relationship with the current cycle time T, so that when n = 2, k1 = 2, and when k1 = 0, the corresponding
[0065] SA09: If n=2, the sensible temperature calculation module calculates the current simulated sensible return air temperature t sb =t mo -Δt, if n>2, first read the current simulated return air temperature t sb , that is, for time n, it is the previous simulated body temperature t sb ′, then calculate the current simulated body-felt return air temperature t at time n sb =t sb ′-Δt;
[0066] SA10: If n>1, the sensible temperature calculation module calculates the current output sensible return air temperature t o =k1·t sb +k2·t gb , where k1 and k2 are the same as when n=1, and both satisfy k1=f(T x ), k2=1-k1, where k1 varies with T x Increases monotonically, k2 decreases with T x The increase is monotonically increasing;
[0067] SA11: Calculate the current output sensible return air temperature t o Compared with the current measured return air temperature t gb The difference t d , t d =|t o -t gb |, when t d ≤Permitted difference range t k When the front output sensible return air temperature t o = Current measured return air temperature t gb ;
[0068] SA12: If the last output sensible return air temperature value of the previous phase cannot be read, mo , that is, this phase is the first phase of the first cycle in normal mode, then the actual measured return air temperature t gb Output sensible return air temperature t o ;
[0069] SA13: When the allocation module determines that a cycle T has ended, it reads the output sensible return air temperature t of the last output of the cycle that just ended. o , and the current average measured body temperature t gi Calculate the supply and return air temperature difference Δt i , Δt i =|t o -t gi |, according to the supply and return air temperature difference Δt i The length of the adjustment cycle T, the mathematical relationship between T and Δt is as follows:
[0070] T=T0+log a (kΔt+b)
[0071] SA14: The deployment module outputs the new cycle T to the control module. From the end of the previous cycle, that is, the start of the new cycle 0 seconds, to the deployment module outputting the new cycle T data, it takes T c Since the output data process is calculated by electronic equipment, generally T c <3sec, and generally T min >30sec, generally T c <<T.
[0072] Where T0 is the minimum cycle duration, k, b, and a are function parameters. If k < 0, T will be minimized at T0 and increase as Δt decreases. These parameters need to be adjusted based on the actual conditions, such as the spatial information corresponding to different bus models.
[0073] Because the control method of continuously switching the supply and return air ducts within a cycle constantly changes the location of the return air from each area within the vehicle. For each phase, the return air location in the subsequent phase corresponds to the supply air location in the previous phase. This can cause significant temperature fluctuations in the return air chamber after switching the return air duct's return air outlet during the initial cooling period, when the temperature fluctuates rapidly. If this significant temperature fluctuation were directly output to the control device and air conditioning system as a measurement result, it would significantly impact the operation of systems that are sensitive to return air temperature in a short period of time, resulting in unnecessary adjustments and increased system instability. Therefore, this output temperature algorithm ensures a smooth transition of the output return air temperature from the measured temperature in the previous phase to the measured temperature in the next phase, providing a more objective, comprehensive, and reasonable assessment of the overall vehicle interior temperature. By adjusting the cycle time within each cycle, the temperature differences between different locations within a given time interval, caused by different air supply time periods, can be controlled to a certain level. Furthermore, when the interior temperature is stable and uniform, the number of damper rotations during the cycle change is reduced, further reducing energy consumption and emissions.
[0074] Example 2
[0075] The above-mentioned peak mode control method comprises the following steps:
[0076] S201: The cycle begins at 0 seconds and enters the first phase. The control module issues control commands to each air valve, causing the first supply air front valve, the second supply air front valve, the first return air rear valve, and the second return air rear valve to be turned to the open state, and the first supply air rear valve, the second supply air rear valve, the first return air front valve, and the second return air front valve to be turned to the closed state. Air is supplied to the bus from the front sections of the two supply air ducts, but not from the rear sections of the two supply air ducts. Air is supplied to the bus from the rear sections of the two supply air ducts, but not from the front sections of the two return air ducts. In addition, the connecting air valve and the central air valve are controlled to be turned to the closed state, and remain closed throughout all cycles in the peak mode.
[0077] S202: In the period after the 0th second of the cycle start, at time T c The control module receives the data of the cycle duration T of the current cycle and the first phase duration T1 and the second phase duration T2 calculated by the allocation module. It can be guaranteed that T c <T1, T=T1+T2;
[0078] S203: The damper opening and closing process lasts for about 5 seconds. During the period (T1-5) seconds after the damper is closed, that is, from 5 seconds to T1 seconds at the beginning of the cycle, the control device does not issue a control command to the damper actuator, and the damper remains in its current state.
[0079] S204: At T1 seconds after the cycle begins, the second phase begins. The control module controls the first supply air front air valve, the second supply air front air valve, the first return air rear air valve, and the second return air rear air valve to switch from an open state to a closed state, and the first supply air rear air valve, the second supply air rear air valve, the first return air front air valve, and the second return air front air valve to switch from a closed state to an open state.
[0080] S205: The damper opening and closing process lasts for about 5 seconds. During the following period T2-5 seconds, i.e., the period from T1-5 seconds to T seconds after the start of the cycle, the control device does not issue any control instructions to the damper actuator, and the damper remains in its current state.
[0081] S206: The cycle starts Tsec, the current cycle ends, and the next cycle starts, and S201 to S206 are repeated. The difference between the next cycle and the previous cycle is that T is adjusted to the newly calculated T', T1 and T2 are adjusted to the newly calculated T1' and T2', and the duration of each phase is different.
[0082] In S202, the allocation module calculates the cycle duration T, and the sub-control method of the first phase duration T1 and the second phase duration T2, including the following sub-steps:
[0083] SB01: The dispatching module obtains information from the decision module regarding whether the current supply and return air mode is the peak mode. If so, the following steps are continued; if not, the control process ends.
[0084] SB02: The allocation module sends a control instruction to the body temperature calculation module to control the body temperature calculation module to execute the temperature calculation algorithm executed when the supply and return air mode is the peak mode;
[0085] SB03 to SB07: Same process as SA04 to SA07;
[0086] SB08: If n=1, the sensible temperature calculation module calculates the current output sensible return air temperature t o =k1·t mo +k2·t gb , where k1 and k2 satisfy k1=f(T x ), k2=1-k1, where k1 varies with T x Increases monotonically, k2 decreases with T x The increase is monotonically increasing, and k1, k2∈(0,1). If n>1, read the last time, T x -T s The current measured return air temperature t gb ", that is, n-1 times of measured perceived return air temperature t lb , and T xThe current measured return air temperature t received at the moment gb , subtract the measured return air temperature difference = |t lb -t gb |,f(T x ) will be adjusted according to a certain functional relationship with the current cycle time T, so that when n = 1, k1 = 1, and when k1 = 0.5, the corresponding When k1 = 0.3, it corresponds to
[0087] SB09: If n=2, the sensible temperature calculation module calculates the current simulated sensible return air temperature t sb =t mo -Δt, if n>2, first read the current simulated return air temperature t at time n-1 sb , that is, for time n, it is the previous simulated sensible return air temperature t′ sb , then calculate the current simulated body temperature t at time n sb =t′ sb -Δt;
[0088] SB10: If n>1, the sensible temperature calculation module calculates the current output sensible return air temperature t o =k1·t sb +k2·t gb , where k1 and k2 are the same as when n=1, and both satisfy k1=f(T x ), k2=1-k1, where k1 varies with T x Increases monotonically, k2 decreases with T x The increase is monotonically increasing;
[0089] SB11: Calculate the current output sensible return air temperature t o Compared with the current measured return air temperature t gb The difference t d , t d =|t o -t gb |, when t d ≤Permitted difference range t k When the front output sensible return air temperature t o = Current measured return air temperature t gb ;
[0090] SB12: If the last output sensible return air temperature value of the previous phase cannot be read, mo , that is, this phase is the first phase of the first cycle in normal mode, then the actual measured return air temperature t gb Output sensible return air temperature t o ;
[0091] SB13: When the allocation module determines that a cycle T has ended, it reads the output sensible return air temperature t of the last output of the cycle that just ended. o , and the current average measured body temperature t gi Calculate the supply and return air temperature difference Δt i , Δt i =|t o -t gi |, according to the supply and return air temperature difference Δt i Adjust the time length of the cycle T. The mathematical relationship between T and Δt is as follows:
[0092] T=T0+log a (kΔt+b)
[0093] SB14: The deployment module outputs the new cycle T to the control module. From the end of the previous cycle, that is, the start of the new cycle 0 seconds, to the deployment module outputting the new cycle T data duration T c ; Since the output data process is calculated by electronic equipment, generally T c <3sec, and generally T min >30sec, generally T c <<T;
[0094] SB15: Starts at the same time as SB13. When the first measured return air temperature t of a new cycle is read, gb 1 When the last measured temperature t is read, mg , calculate the temperature change rate k=(t gb 1 -t mg ) / T s , read the nth measured return air temperature t in a new cycle gb n When (n≥2), calculate the temperature change rate k=(t gb n -t gb n-1 ) / T s , t gb n-1 T s The n-2th measured return air temperature read before time;
[0095] SB16:k t is the temperature measurement stability threshold, and |k|≤k t Is it true? If so, read the current measured return air temperature t gb , as the stable initial measured sensible return air temperature t wb, calculate the difference in perceived temperature between the front and rear spaces Δt k , Δt k = the actual body temperature detected last time in the previous cycle t mg -Stable initial measured perceived return air temperature t wb ;
[0096] SB17: In a period T, the proportional relationship between T1 and T2 is determined by the unevenness coefficient m. After calculating the difference in perceived temperature between the front and rear spaces after the previous cycle, Δt k Then, according to m=g(Δt k , T), according to the difference in perceived temperature between the front and rear spaces Δt k , the new cycle length T, calculate the new cycle m, and then calculate the duration of the two phases T1 and T2, and send it to the control module by the allocation module. k >Δt 许可 When m increases accordingly, Δt k <-Δt 许可 When T is very large or very small, the range of change of m will be narrowed.
[0097] Where T0 is the shortest cycle duration, k, b, and a are function parameters, and if k < 0, T will be at its minimum at T0 and increase as Δt decreases. These parameters need to be adjusted based on the actual conditions, such as the spatial information corresponding to different bus models.
[0098] In the above formula, 2≤m≤10, so T1≥T2. This unbalanced time distribution causes the cumulative amount of cold air delivered to the front of the bus compartment to be significantly more than that to the rear of the bus over the cycle time length.
[0099] During peak bus travel times, when buses are packed and full, with standing passengers filling the cabin, the front compartment has a significantly higher passenger density than the rear seats due to fewer seats and more standing room, necessitating a greater cooling requirement. Secondly, the rear compartment, due to its raised floor structure, is vertically shorter than the front, requiring less cooling space. Thirdly, during peak travel times, with many passengers boarding and alighting, the front and rear doors remain open longer than during off-peak hours, resulting in significant heat exchange and cooling losses. Fourthly, the proportion of standing passengers is higher in the front compartment than in the rear, and the need for cooling and ventilation is higher when standing than when seated. This results in a greater need for cooling air in the front compartment than in the rear. This peak-time supply and return air control method ensures that the distribution of air conditioning cooling capacity within the bus is more consistent with actual cooling needs.
[0100] Example 3
[0101] The control method of the strong and weak cooling modes includes the following specific steps:
[0102] Steps S301 to S306 are the same as the process of S201 to S206.
[0103] In S302, the allocation module calculates the cycle duration T, and the sub-control method of the first phase duration T1 and the second phase duration T2, including the following steps:
[0104] SC01: The allocation module obtains from the decision module whether the current supply and return air mode is the strong or weak cooling mode. If so, it continues to execute the following steps. If not, it ends the control process.
[0105] SC02: The allocation module sends a control instruction to the body temperature calculation module to control the body temperature calculation module to execute the temperature calculation algorithm when the supply and return air mode is the strong or weak cooling mode;
[0106] SC03~SC07: Same as SB03~SB07;
[0107] SC08: Based on the acquired time information, when a new phase is detected, that is, when n=2, the actual return air temperature t received last time in the same phase of the previous cycle is read. sg , read the first measured return air temperature t of the new phase gb 1 When the last measured body temperature t is read, mg , calculate the temperature change rate k=(t gb 1 -t mg ) / T s , read the nth measured return air temperature t in a new cycle gb n When (n≥2), calculate the temperature change rate k=(t gb n -t gb n-1 ) / T s , t gb n-1 T s The n-2th measured return air temperature read before time;
[0108] SC09:k t is the temperature measurement stability threshold, and |k|≤k t Is it true? If so, read the current measured return air temperature t gb , as the stable initial measured sensible return air temperature t wb , according to the stable initial measured body temperature twb The actual perceived return air temperature t received last time in the same phase as the previous cycle sg , the independent variable is time T x , the linear equation h(T x ), the simulated temperature t in the cooling zone can be obtained mn , that is, t mn =h(T x );
[0109] SC10: The sensory temperature calculation module calculates the current output sensory return air temperature t o =k1·t mn +k2·t gb , where k1 and k2 satisfy k1=f(T x ), k2=1-k1, where k1 varies with T x Increases monotonically, k2 decreases with T x The increase is monotonically increasing, and k1, k2∈(0,1), f(T x ) will be adjusted according to a certain functional relationship with the current cycle time T, so that when n = 1, k1 = 1, and when k1 = 0.6, the corresponding When k1 = 0.4, it corresponds to
[0110] SC11: When the sensory temperature calculation module detects the end of a phase and the beginning of a new phase, it calculates the sensory temperature difference Δt between the front and rear spaces. k , Δt k = the actual body temperature t detected last time in the previous phase mg - This phase stabilizes the initial measured return air temperature t wb ;
[0111] SC12: When the sensory temperature calculation module detects the end of a cycle and a new cycle begins, it calculates the sensory temperature difference Δt between the front and rear spaces. k , and then read the calculated value at the beginning of the previous phase k3<k4, k3+k4=1; read the output sensible return air temperature t of the last output of the cycle just ended o , and the current average measured body temperature t gi Calculate the supply and return air temperature difference Δt i , Δt i =|t o -t gi |; Same as SB12, get the new cycle length T;
[0112] sC13: As in sB17, according to the mathematical relationship m=g'(Δt k均, T) calculate the uneven coefficient of the return air, where m is opposite to SB17, m < 2. Calculate the m of the new cycle, and then calculate the duration of the two phases T1 and T2, and send it to the control module by the deployment module. Among them, Δt k均 >Δt max When m increases accordingly, Δt k均 <Δt min When T is very large or very small, the range of change of m will be narrowed.
[0113] In this way, according to the measured Δt k均 The size of the cooling mode is used to judge the difference in cooling effect between the front and rear parts of the vehicle under strong and weak cooling modes. By adjusting the difference in cooling capacity allocated to the front and rear parts during the cycle, a controllable temperature difference between the front and rear parts is formed to meet the required strong cooling and weak cooling differences, thereby meeting the reasonable needs of the middle-aged and elderly people who make up a large proportion of bus passengers and have low requirements for air conditioning or are even sensitive to cold air, as well as other people in a relatively weak state who need to be protected.
[0114] The difference between the strong and weak cooling modes and the peak mode is that the temperature in the rear of the car is lower and controllable than that in the front. Because the top and bottom distance of the rear is short and the space is small, there is no additional heat exchange caused by opening and closing doors, so it is easier to form a lower temperature than the front. At the same time, the special seats for the elderly are all located in the middle and front part. In addition, the existence of the phenomenon of giving up seats makes the elderly more inclined to sit in the middle and front part, and the young and middle-aged people more inclined to sit in the rear part. This makes the rear of the car a strong cooling area and the front a weak cooling area, which is more in line with the actual situation.
[0115] Example 4
[0116] The above-mentioned full air supply mode includes the following steps:
[0117] The control module opens the first supply air front valve, the second supply air front valve, the first supply air rear valve, the second supply air rear valve, the first central return air valve, and the second central return air valve; and closes the first return air front valve, the second return air front valve, the first return air rear valve, the second return air rear valve, the front connecting valve, and the rear connecting valve. Once in this mode, all air valves remain in the same state.
[0118] When the target air supply temperature is very different from the measured indoor temperature, the air conditioning power is adjusted to a large value, the air supply volume is large, and the corresponding air supply speed is very high (for example, above 3m / s), the cold air flow can be fully transported to the middle and lower parts of the bus with its large kinetic energy. There is no need to consider the problem of air supply only cooling the middle and upper parts. At this time, the full air supply mode can also achieve more uniform air supply.
[0119] Example 5
[0120] The above-mentioned light adaptation mode includes the following steps:
[0121] S501: The light sensors installed on both sides of the vehicle are r Output light sensor data once;
[0122] S502: Analyze the light sensor data to determine which side is the bright side. If the left side corresponding to the first air supply channel and the first return air channel is determined to be the bright side, execute the following steps. If the right side corresponding to the second air supply channel and the second return air channel is determined to be the bright side, execute the steps in the same order as the following steps, except that "first" in the execution object is changed to "second" and "second" is changed to "first".
[0123] S503: The cycle starts at 0 sec and enters the first phase. The control module controls the first air supply front air valve and the second air supply rear air valve to be opened, and controls the first air supply rear air valve and the second air supply front air valve to be closed, so that the air conditioner does not supply air to the vehicle from the rear section of the first air supply duct and the front section of the second air supply duct; controls the first return air rear air valve and the second return air front air valve to be opened, and controls the first return air front air valve and the second return air rear air valve to be closed, so that the air conditioner does not return air from the front section of the first return air duct and the rear section of the second return air duct. All other air valves remain closed during this phase.
[0124] S504: In the period 0 sec after the cycle starts, at time T c The control module receives the data of the cycle duration T, the first phase duration T1, the second phase duration T2, the third phase duration T3, and the fourth phase duration T4 of the current cycle calculated by the allocation module. It can be guaranteed that T c <T1;
[0125] S505: The damper opening and closing process lasts for about 5 seconds. During the period (T1-5) seconds after the damper is closed, that is, from 5 seconds to T1 seconds at the beginning of the cycle, the control device does not issue a control command to the damper actuator, and the damper remains in its current state.
[0126] S506: The cycle starts T1 sec and enters the second phase. The control module controls the first supply air rear valve to switch from closed to open, controls the first return air rear valve to switch from open to closed, and controls the back-connecting ventilation valve to switch from closed to open. The states of other valves remain unchanged from the first phase.
[0127] S507: The cycle starts at T1+T2 seconds and enters the third phase. The control module controls the first supply air front air valve and the second supply air rear air valve to turn from open to closed, controls the second supply air front air valve to turn from closed to open, controls the first return air front air valve and the second return air rear air valve to turn from closed to open, controls the second return air front air valve and the rear connecting valve to turn from open to closed. The states of other air valves remain unchanged from the second phase.
[0128] S508: The cycle starts at T1+T2+T3 seconds and enters the fourth phase. The control module controls the first supply air front air valve and the front connecting valve to turn from closed to open, and controls the first return air front air valve to turn from open to closed.
[0129] S509: The cycle starts T1+T2+T3+T4sec, i.e. Tsec. The four phases of the first cycle end and the next cycle begins. Steps S502 to S508 are re-executed, and due to the change in light sensor data, T1, T2, T3, and T4 are also updated in the new T.
[0130] S504 involves the calculation of the total duration of each cycle and the duration of each phase. The calculation method of T is basically the same as the process from SA01 to SA14. After calculating T, the compensation air supply coefficient p of the illuminated surface under strong unilateral sunlight is obtained according to the light sensor data obtained in the previous cycle and the algorithm. The greater the difference in solar radiation received by the two sides, the larger p is, and the more cooling energy is delivered to the illuminated side.
[0131] The principle of achieving unbalanced distribution between the left and right sides while maintaining the relevant working conditions of the air conditioner unchanged is that the connecting air valve is opened to connect the air supply ducts on the left and right sides. At this time, the air supply duct on one side needs to supply air from both the front and rear sections, while the air supply duct on the other side needs to supply air from only the front or rear section. At this time, when the total air supply volume on both sides is the same, the air pressure acting on the air supply outlet on the left and right sides is different due to the different sections of the air supply duct being opened. The air supply velocity of the side with only one section open is higher than that of the side with both sections open. When the two are connected, due to the effect of air pressure balance, the side with only one section open will receive the cold air flow from the other side with only one section open, thereby increasing the air supply volume on the side with both sections open and decreasing the air supply volume on the other side with only one section open. Combined with the normal cyclic phase shift, the cooling volume received by one side during a cycle period is higher than that of the other side, theoretically reaching about 1.3 times the original amount. At the same time, the proportion of the time this mechanism is in effect to the duration of the entire cycle, specifically expressed as the compensation coefficient p, is used to control the degree of cooling compensation of one side compared to the other side.
[0132] Example 6
[0133] The above automatic mode includes the following steps:
[0134] S601: After receiving the air conditioner start signal, wait for the selection of the working mode. If no relevant working mode selection instruction is received, execute S101 to S111 of the control method corresponding to the normal mode;
[0135] S602: At the end of each cycle, the decision module obtains light detection data and, through connections with other onboard systems, obtains time data (24-hour format), the number of passengers boarding the bus and the corresponding time, the number of senior citizen card boardings and the corresponding time, and makes a decision on the operating mode selection;
