[0065] In this step, the deviation of the current pressure from the target pressure can be determined according to the pressure data, the deviation of the current temperature from the target temperature in the electric drive circuit can be determined according to the circuit data and the ambient temperature, and then the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system can be determined according to the deviation of the current pressure from the target pressure and the deviation of the current temperature from the target temperature.

[0066] In this step, the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system can be determined according to the vehicle data.

[0067] In this step, the air intake amount of the current vehicle front grille, i.e., the head-on wind volume capacity, and the sum of the natural air intake amount of the current vehicle front grille and the air volume brought by the fan, i.e., the comprehensive air volume capacity, can be determined according to the vehicle data, and then the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request can be determined according to the head-on wind volume capacity, the comprehensive air volume capacity and the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system.

[0068] In this step, the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request can be sent to the intelligent grille and the electronic fan respectively to control the working of the intelligent grille and the electronic fan.

[0069] The electronic fan in the embodiment of the present application refers to a stepless speed-regulating electronic fan controlled by PWM, and the intelligent grille refers to the intelligent grille of the vehicle heat pump air conditioning system.

[0070] After the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request are determined, the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request can be sent to the intelligent grille and the electronic fan respectively, so that the intelligent grille and the electronic fan will work according to the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request respectively. In actual application, the intelligent grille and the electronic fan can work individually according to the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request respectively, or can work cooperatively.

[0071] The embodiment of the present application determines the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request according to the data in multiple dimensions of the ambient temperature, the pressure data of the heat pump air conditioning system, the circuit data of the electric drive circuit and the vehicle data, and then controls the working of the intelligent grille and the electronic fan. Since the data in different dimensions corresponding to different application scenarios are different, the present application can control the intelligent grille and the electronic fan according to the data in the dimensions corresponding to different application scenarios, which enriches the application scenarios and is convenient for users to use.

[0072] In another embodiment of the present application, step S102 of determining the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system according to the pressure data, the circuit data and the ambient temperature comprises:

[0073] In this step, the high-pressure pressure deviation and the low-pressure pressure deviation can be determined according to the pressure data.

[0075] In this step, a high-pressure demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system can be determined based on the high-pressure pressure deviation and the low-pressure pressure deviation.

[0076] In this step, the high-pressure demand air volume NCCe of the heat pump air conditioning system can be calculated by PI using the high-pressure pressure deviation EP HP, including: taking the sum of the high-pressure demand air volume request NCCn-1 at the last moment and the high-pressure demand air volume NCCe as the current high-pressure demand air volume request NCCn, that is, NCCn=NCCn-1+NCCe; wherein the high-pressure demand air volume NCCe can be calculated by the following formula: NCCe=An+Bn; An=Pcc*EP HP; Bn=Icc*EP HP+Bn-1; n>0. Wherein Pcc and Icc are adjustment parameters related to the environment temperature, which are obtained by later calibration test.

[0077] The low-pressure demand air volume F LP of the heat pump air conditioning system is calculated according to the low-pressure pressure deviation EP LP, which is the same as the above step.

[0078] The embodiments of the present application calculate the high-pressure demand air volume and the low-pressure demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system by PI, which can improve the control accuracy and stability.

[0079] In this step, the heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit can be determined according to the circuit data and the environment temperature.

[0080] In addition to maintaining the high-pressure pressure and the low-pressure pressure of the heat pump air conditioning system, the electronic fan and the intelligent grille also need to meet the heat dissipation demand of the whole vehicle electric drive circuit. In this step, the current motor body temperature can be determined according to the circuit data, and the target cooling water temperature to be cooled to can be determined according to the environment temperature, and then the heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit can be determined according to the deviation between the motor local temperature and the target cooling water temperature.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, the current high-pressure pressure is collected by the pressure sensor arranged at the outlet of the compressor, the target high-pressure pressure is obtained according to the ambient temperature and the preset corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature and the high-pressure pressure, and the preset corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature and the high-pressure pressure is obtained through the later calibration test.

[0087] Similarly, the current low-pressure pressure is collected by the pressure sensor arranged at the outlet of the compressor, the target low-pressure pressure is obtained according to the ambient temperature and the preset corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature and the low-pressure pressure, and the preset corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature and the low-pressure pressure is obtained through the later calibration test.

[0088] The step S302 comprises determining the high-pressure pressure deviation according to the current high-pressure pressure and the target high-pressure pressure.

[0089] In this step, the difference between the target high-pressure pressure and the current high-pressure pressure can be taken as the high-pressure pressure deviation.

[0090] The step S303 comprises determining the low-pressure pressure deviation according to the current low-pressure pressure and the target low-pressure pressure.

[0091] In this step, the difference between the target low-pressure pressure and the current low-pressure pressure can be taken as the low-pressure pressure deviation.

[0092] In still another embodiment of the present application, the step S203 of determining the heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit according to the circuit data and the ambient temperature comprises:

[0093] The step S401 comprises determining the motor body temperature of the electric drive circuit according to the circuit data.

[0094] In this step, the motor body temperature can be directly extracted from the circuit data.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present application, the motor body temperature is obtained by the temperature sensor arranged on the motor body of the electric drive circuit.

[0096] Step S402, determining a target cooling water temperature of the electric drive circuit according to the ambient temperature;

[0097] In the embodiment of the application, the target cooling water temperature is obtained according to the ambient temperature and a preset corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature and the cooling water temperature, and the preset corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature and the cooling water temperature is obtained through a later calibration test.

[0098] Step S403, determining a heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit according to the motor body temperature of the electric drive circuit and the target cooling water temperature of the electric drive circuit.

[0099] In this step, the heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit can be determined according to the electric drive circuit target cooling water temperature and the electric drive circuit motor body temperature.

[0100] In another embodiment of the application, step S204 determines the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system according to the high-pressure demand air volume, the low-pressure demand air volume and the heat dissipation demand air volume, and includes:

[0101] determining whether a passenger compartment cooling request or a battery cooling request is received;

[0102] If the passenger compartment cooling request or the battery cooling request is received, determining that the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system is equal to the sum of the high-pressure demand air volume and the heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit;

[0103] Alternatively, if the passenger compartment cooling request or the battery cooling request is not received, determining whether a passenger compartment heating request or a battery heating request is received;

[0104] Alternatively, if the passenger compartment heating request or the battery heating request is received, determining that the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system is equal to the sum of the low-pressure demand air volume and the heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit;

[0105] Alternatively, if the passenger compartment heating request or the battery heating request is not received, determining that the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system is equal to the heat dissipation demand air volume of the electric drive circuit.

[0106] In another embodiment of the application, step S103 determines the grille opening degree request and the fan duty cycle request according to the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the vehicle data, and includes:

[0107] Step S501, determining the vehicle speed, the current grille opening degree and the current fan duty cycle value according to the vehicle data;

[0108] In this step, the vehicle speed, the current grille opening degree and the current fan duty cycle value can be directly extracted from the vehicle data.

[0109] Step S502, determining the oncoming wind volume capacity according to the vehicle speed and the current opening degree of the grille;

[0110] The current air intake volume of the front grille of the vehicle, i.e. the oncoming wind volume capacity, can be determined according to the vehicle speed and the current opening degree of the grille by looking up a table. The table can be obtained by real vehicle test measurement and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation.

[0111] Step S503, determining the comprehensive wind volume capacity according to the vehicle speed and the current duty cycle value of the fan;

[0112] The sum of the natural air intake volume of the front grille of the vehicle and the air volume brought by the fan, i.e. the comprehensive wind volume capacity, can be determined according to the vehicle speed and the current duty cycle value of the fan by looking up a table. The table can be obtained by real vehicle test measurement and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation.

[0113] Step S504, determining the grille opening degree request according to the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the oncoming wind volume capacity;

[0114] In this step, the grille opening degree request can be adjusted according to whether the first deviation between the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the oncoming wind volume capacity is greater than 0.

[0115] Further, it can be judged whether the intelligent grille opening degree indicated by the grille opening degree request exceeds a preset opening degree range, for example, the preset opening degree range is 0-90 degrees.

[0116] For example: it is judged whether the latest intelligent grille opening degree is greater than 90 degrees after the intelligent grille opening degree is increased according to the intelligent grille opening degree request. If the intelligent grille opening degree request is not greater than 90 degrees, i.e. less than or equal to 90 degrees, the intelligent grille opening degree request is output to the intelligent grille to control the intelligent grille opening degree change. At this time, the fan duty cycle request can not be determined according to the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the comprehensive wind volume capacity, because the oncoming wind brought by the vehicle speed and the intelligent grille opening degree can already meet the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system.

[0117] If the intelligent grille opening degree request is greater than 90 degrees, the intelligent grille opening degree request for indicating adjusting the intelligent grille opening degree to 90 degrees is output to the intelligent grille. Generally, the intelligent grille opening degree change range is 0 to 90 degrees. When the intelligent grille opening degree request exceeds 90 degrees, it indicates that the oncoming wind brought by the vehicle speed and the intelligent grille opening degree can not meet the demand air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system. At this time, the intelligent grille is maintained at the maximum opening degree of 90 degrees, and the fan duty cycle change is further controlled.

[0118] Step S505, when the intelligent grille opening degree indicated by the grille opening degree request exceeds the preset opening degree range, determining a fan duty cycle request according to the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the comprehensive air volume capacity.

[0119] In this step, the fan duty cycle request can be adjusted according to whether the second deviation of the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the comprehensive air volume capacity is greater than 0.

[0120] The embodiments of the present application can indicate a new intelligent grille opening degree through the grille opening degree request, provide the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system by using the vehicle speed and the new intelligent grille opening degree, and realize the cooperative work of the intelligent grille and the electronic fan for providing the required air volume of the air conditioning system by indicating a new fan duty cycle through the fan duty cycle request when the head-on wind brought by the vehicle speed and the new intelligent grille opening degree cannot meet the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system.

[0121] The intelligent grille and the electronic fan can be further controlled by comparing the air volume provided by the current fan duty cycle value.

[0122] In another embodiment of the present application, step S504 of determining the grille opening degree request according to the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the head-on wind air volume capacity comprises:

[0123] obtaining a first deviation by subtracting the head-on wind air volume capacity from the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system;

[0124] determining whether the first deviation is greater than 0;

[0125] if the first deviation is greater than 0, indicating to increase the intelligent grille opening degree through the intelligent grille opening degree request; the change rate of the increased intelligent grille opening degree needs to be calibrated later, and is usually the degrees changed per second.

[0126] if the first deviation is less than or equal to 0, indicating to decrease the intelligent grille opening degree through the intelligent grille opening degree request. The change rate of the decreased intelligent grille opening degree needs to be calibrated later, and is usually the degrees changed per second.

[0127] In another embodiment of the present application, step S505 of determining the fan duty cycle request according to the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system and the comprehensive air volume capacity comprises:

[0128] obtaining a second deviation by subtracting the comprehensive air volume capacity from the required air volume of the heat pump air conditioning system;

[0129] determining whether the second deviation is greater than 0;

[0130] If the second deviation is greater than 0, increase the electronic fan duty cycle by the electronic fan duty cycle request indication; the change rate of the electronic fan duty cycle needs to be calibrated later, usually the duty cycle changes per second.

[0131] If the second deviation is less than or equal to 0, decrease the electronic fan duty cycle by the electronic fan duty cycle request indication. The change rate of the electronic fan duty cycle needs to be calibrated later, usually the duty cycle changes per second.

[0132] Further, it can be judged whether the latest electronic fan duty cycle is greater than 90 after the electronic fan duty cycle is increased according to the electronic fan duty cycle request.

[0133] If the electronic fan duty cycle request is not greater than 90, that is, less than or equal to 90, output the electronic fan duty cycle request to the electronic fan to control the electronic fan duty cycle change.

[0134] If the electronic fan duty cycle request is greater than 90, output the electronic fan duty cycle request to the electronic fan for indicating adjusting the electronic fan duty cycle to 90. Usually, the electronic fan duty cycle change range is 7 to 90, and when the electronic fan duty cycle request exceeds 90 degrees, the maximum duty cycle of maintaining the electronic fan duty cycle at 90 is maintained at this time.
