[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0043] The control method for the integrated refrigeration system provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The integrated refrigeration system shown includes a first refrigeration system 100 for cooling the vehicle's passenger compartment and a second refrigeration system 200 for cooling the vehicle's battery. Further, the first refrigeration system 100 has corresponding piping for transporting refrigerant, and the second refrigeration system 200 has corresponding piping for transporting cooling water. The refrigerant can be understood as a heat exchanger; it lowers the temperature of the cooling water by exchanging heat with it, thereby cooling the vehicle's battery.
[0044] The aforementioned first refrigeration system 100 includes a compressor 101. The discharge port of the compressor 101 is connected to the input end of the condenser 102. A first refrigerant circuit 103 and a second refrigerant circuit 104 are connected in parallel to the output end of the condenser 102. The first refrigerant circuit 103 is equipped with a solenoid valve 105 and an evaporator 106 connected to the solenoid valve. The output end of the evaporator 106 is connected to the suction end of the compressor 101 via a three-way valve 107. The second refrigerant circuit 104 is equipped with an electronic expansion valve 108. The electronic expansion valve 108 is connected to the refrigerant input end of a battery heat exchanger 109, and the refrigerant output end of the battery heat exchanger 109 is connected to the suction end of the compressor 101 via the three-way valve 107. A first temperature and pressure sensor 110 is provided at the refrigerant output end of the battery heat exchanger 109.
[0045] Among them, the electromagnetic switch valve 105 is used to control whether the refrigerant flows through the evaporator 106; the evaporator 106 is used to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the air in the vehicle cab to achieve the purpose of cooling the vehicle cab; the electronic expansion valve 108 is used to control the refrigerant flow rate and refrigerant velocity in the second refrigerant circuit 104; the battery heat exchanger 109 is used to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the cooling water; and the first temperature and pressure sensor 110 is used to obtain the outlet temperature and outlet pressure corresponding to the refrigerant output end of the battery heat exchanger.
[0046] The aforementioned second cooling system 200 includes a vehicle battery 201 and a water pump 202. A first temperature sensor 203 is provided at the coolant inlet of the vehicle battery 201. The inlet of the water pump 202 is connected to the coolant outlet of the vehicle battery 201, and the outlet of the water pump 202 is connected to the coolant inlet of the battery heat exchanger 108. The coolant outlet of the battery heat exchanger 108 is connected to the coolant inlet of the vehicle battery 201. The first temperature sensor 203 is used to obtain the actual inlet water temperature of the vehicle battery 201.
[0047] The integrated refrigeration system operates in four modes: dual refrigeration mode, vehicle battery-only refrigeration mode, vehicle cab-only refrigeration mode, and no refrigeration mode. Since the electronic expansion valve 107 is closed in both vehicle cab-only refrigeration mode and no refrigeration mode, and there is no need to control its opening, these two modes will not be described. In vehicle battery-only refrigeration mode, the solenoid valve 104 is closed, and the electronic expansion valve 107 is open. In the first integrated refrigeration system, the refrigerant flows sequentially through the compressor 101, condenser 102, electronic expansion valve 107, battery heat exchanger 108, three-way valve 106, and compressor 101. In the second integrated refrigeration system, the cooling water flows sequentially through the vehicle battery 201, water pump 202, battery heat exchanger 108, and vehicle battery 201. Furthermore, the refrigerant and cooling water exchange heat in the battery heat exchanger 108 to lower the cooling water temperature. After cooling down, the coolant flows back to the vehicle battery 201 to cool it; while the refrigerant, after absorbing heat and heating up, flows back to the compressor 101. In dual-cooling mode, both the electromagnetic switch valve 104 and the electronic expansion valve 107 are open, and the refrigerant flows from the output of the condenser 102 into the first refrigerant circuit 103 and the second refrigerant circuit 104, respectively. The refrigerant flowing through the first refrigerant circuit exchanges heat with the air in the vehicle's passenger compartment through the evaporator 105 before flowing back to the compressor 101; the refrigerant flowing through the second refrigerant circuit exchanges heat with the coolant through the battery heat exchanger 108 before flowing back to the compressor 101.
[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a control method for an integrated refrigeration system is provided, and this method is applied to... Figure 1The integrated refrigeration system in the example is described below. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:
[0049] S210: Obtain the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system.
[0050] Optionally, the current operating mode can be a dual cooling mode that simultaneously cools the vehicle cab and the vehicle battery of the target vehicle, or a single cooling mode that only cools the vehicle battery of the target vehicle.
[0051] S220 determines the target refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system based on the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system.
[0052] In this context, the target refrigerant superheat of an integrated refrigeration system can be understood as the desired superheat of the refrigerant output from the refrigerant outlet of the battery heat exchanger. It should be further noted that excessively high refrigerant superheat may lead to reduced refrigeration efficiency in the integrated refrigeration system, while excessively low superheat may cause damage to the compressor due to liquid refrigerant. Therefore, determining a suitable target refrigerant superheat is crucial for the stable operation of an integrated refrigeration system.
[0053] Optionally, if the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system is dual refrigeration mode, the target refrigerant superheat can be determined when the integrated refrigeration system is operating in dual refrigeration mode; if the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system is single refrigeration mode, the target refrigerant superheat can be determined when the integrated refrigeration system is operating in single refrigeration mode, so that a suitable target refrigerant superheat can be determined under different operating modes of the integrated refrigeration system.
[0054] S230 adjusts the opening of the electronic expansion valve in the integrated refrigeration system based on the target refrigerant superheat and the actual refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system.
[0055] In this context, the actual refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system can be understood as the actual superheat of the refrigerant output from the refrigerant output terminal of the battery heat exchanger.
[0056] Optionally, the actual refrigerant superheat can be calculated based on the outlet temperature and outlet pressure at the refrigerant output terminal of the battery heat exchanger. The outlet temperature can be understood as the temperature of the refrigerant output from the refrigerant output terminal of the battery heat exchanger; the outlet pressure can be understood as the pressure of the refrigerant output from the refrigerant output terminal of the battery heat exchanger.
[0057] (1)
[0058] For example, the calculation rule for actual superheat is shown in formula (1), where Indicates the actual refrigerant superheat, Indicates refrigerant output temperature, Indicates refrigerant output pressure, For the first calculation coefficient, For the second calculation coefficient, This is the third calculation coefficient. It should be noted that the first, second, and third calculation coefficients can all be set or adjusted by technical personnel according to their needs or experience, or determined through a large number of experiments. This application does not impose any restrictions on them.
[0059] Optionally, the opening of the electronic expansion valve of the integrated refrigeration system can be adjusted based on the difference between the target refrigerant superheat and the actual refrigerant superheat.
[0060] In this embodiment, the target refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system is determined according to the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system, so that the determined target refrigerant superheat matches the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system. Based on the target refrigerant superheat and the actual refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system, the opening of the electronic expansion valve in the integrated refrigeration system is adjusted so that the opening of the electronic expansion valve can fully take into account the target refrigerant superheat under the current operating mode. This avoids the situation where the electronic expansion valve opening is not adjusted properly due to the mismatch of the operating mode, thereby improving the accuracy of the electronic expansion valve opening adjustment and ensuring the stable operation of the integrated refrigeration system.
[0061] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment in which the steps for determining the target refrigerant superheat are refined.
[0062] See Figure 3 The steps for determining the target refrigerant superheat, as shown, include:
[0063] S310, if the integrated refrigeration system operates in single refrigeration mode, then the preset refrigerant superheat is used as the target refrigerant superheat.
[0064] The preset refrigerant superheat can be set or adjusted by technicians according to their needs or experience, or determined through a large number of experiments. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0065] S320, if the integrated refrigeration system operates in dual refrigeration mode, then the target refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system is determined based on the operating data of the integrated refrigeration system.
[0066] Optionally, the operating data of the integrated refrigeration system can be understood as data used to evaluate the operating status of each component of the integrated refrigeration system in dual-refrigeration mode. For example, the operating data of the integrated refrigeration system may include at least one of the following: evaporator operating data, compressor operating data, and maximum battery cell temperature. Here, evaporator operating data can be understood as data used to evaluate the operating status of the evaporator; compressor operating data can be understood as data used to evaluate the operating status of the compressor; and the maximum battery cell temperature can be understood as the temperature corresponding to the hottest battery cell in the vehicle battery. It is understood that the vehicle battery can be composed of multiple battery cells.
[0067] In one optional embodiment, the target inlet temperature of the cooling water for cooling the vehicle battery can be determined based on the operating data of the integrated refrigeration system; and the target refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system can be determined based on the target inlet temperature and the actual inlet temperature of the cooling water corresponding to the vehicle battery.
[0068] The target inlet water temperature can be understood as the temperature that the coolant used to cool the vehicle battery needs to reach. It's important to note that both excessively high and low coolant temperatures can negatively impact vehicle battery performance. Therefore, determining a suitable target inlet water temperature is crucial for ensuring vehicle battery performance.
[0069] In this embodiment, a target refrigerant superheat is determined under different current operating modes of the integrated refrigeration system, so that the determined target refrigerant superheat can match the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system. Specifically, if the current operating mode of the integrated refrigeration system is a dual-refrigeration mode, the target refrigerant superheat is determined based on the operating data of the integrated refrigeration system, so that the target refrigerant superheat can reflect the actual superheat requirement of the integrated refrigeration system, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the determined target refrigerant superheat.
[0070] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment in which the steps for determining the target inlet water temperature are refined.
[0071] See Figure 4 The steps for determining the target influent temperature, as shown, include:
[0072] S410, obtains the basic water ingress temperature of the vehicle battery.
[0073] The base water inlet temperature can be understood as the baseline value corresponding to the target water inlet temperature of the vehicle battery, that is, the base temperature used to determine the target water inlet temperature.
[0074] Optionally, the average temperature of each battery cell in the vehicle battery can be obtained; the base water inlet temperature is determined based on the mapping relationship between the average battery cell temperature and the base water inlet temperature. It should be noted that the mapping relationship between the average battery cell temperature and the base water inlet temperature can be set or adjusted by a technician based on needs or experience, or determined through extensive testing; this application does not impose any limitations on this. For example, if the average temperature of each battery cell is 10°C, and the corresponding base water inlet temperature is 30°C, then the base water inlet temperature of the vehicle battery is determined to be 30°C.
[0075] S420 determines the target corrected temperature of the vehicle battery based on the operating data of the integrated cooling system.
[0076] The target correction temperature can be understood as the correction temperature that corrects the base correction temperature.
[0077] In one optional embodiment, a base correction temperature for the vehicle battery can be determined based on evaporator operating data; a first temperature correction coefficient can be determined based on compressor operating data; and a second temperature correction coefficient can be determined based on the maximum temperature of a single battery cell; the product of the first temperature correction coefficient and the second temperature correction coefficient can be used as a target temperature correction coefficient; and the product of the base correction temperature and the target correction coefficient can be used as the target correction temperature.
[0078] The base correction temperature can be understood as the baseline value corresponding to the target correction temperature, i.e., the basic temperature used to determine the target correction temperature. The first temperature coefficient can be understood as the temperature coefficient corresponding to the compressor operating data. The second temperature coefficient can be understood as the temperature coefficient corresponding to the maximum temperature of the battery cell. The target temperature correction coefficient can be understood as the temperature correction coefficient corresponding to the base correction temperature.
[0079] Optionally, the evaporator operating data may include the actual evaporator temperature, etc. Furthermore, the first temperature coefficient can be determined based on the mapping relationship between the actual evaporator temperature and the first temperature coefficient. It should be noted that the mapping relationship between the actual evaporator temperature and the first temperature coefficient can be set or adjusted by technicians according to their needs or experience, or determined through extensive testing; this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0080] Optionally, the compressor's operating data may include at least one of the following: compressor requested speed, compressor feedback speed, and compressor feedback power. Further, a first temperature coefficient may be determined based on the compressor requested speed; a second temperature coefficient may be determined based on the compressor feedback speed; and a third temperature coefficient may be determined based on the compressor feedback power. The smallest of the first, second, and third temperature coefficients may be used as the second temperature coefficient.
[0081] S430 determines the target inlet temperature of the vehicle battery based on the base inlet temperature and the target correction temperature.
[0082] In one alternative embodiment, the sum of the baseline inlet water temperature and the target corrected temperature can be used as the reference inlet water temperature of the vehicle battery; and the smaller of the reference inlet water temperature and the maximum temperature of the battery cell can be used as the target inlet water temperature of the vehicle battery.
[0083] In this embodiment, the basic inlet water temperature of the vehicle battery is obtained; the target correction temperature of the vehicle battery is determined based on the operating data of the integrated cooling system; and the target inlet water temperature of the vehicle battery is determined based on the basic inlet water temperature and the target correction temperature, so that the target inlet water temperature can match the actual cooling needs of the vehicle battery, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the determined target inlet water temperature.
[0084] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment in which the steps for determining the target refrigerant superheat are refined.
[0085] See Figure 5 The steps for determining the target refrigerant superheat, as shown, include:
[0086] S510 gradually adjusts the temperature of the coolant corresponding to the vehicle battery based on the target inlet water temperature, so that the actual inlet water temperature of the coolant corresponding to the vehicle battery reaches the target inlet water temperature.
[0087] Optionally, the actual inlet water temperature can be controlled using a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) algorithm based on the actual inlet water temperature and the target inlet water temperature. For example, a total adjustment cycle may include at least one preset adjustment cycle, within which a corresponding target inlet water temperature is determined. In the current preset adjustment cycle, the relationship between the actual and target inlet water temperatures, as well as the inlet water temperature difference between them, can be determined. If the actual inlet water temperature is greater than the target inlet water temperature, and the inlet water temperature difference is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold, then the actual inlet water temperature is reduced by a preset adjustment temperature in the current preset adjustment cycle. If the actual inlet water temperature is less than the target inlet water temperature, and the inlet water temperature difference is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold, then the actual inlet water temperature is reduced by a preset adjustment temperature in the current preset adjustment cycle. It is understandable that by executing the above method in each preset adjustment cycle, the temperature difference between the actual inlet water temperature and the target inlet water temperature will gradually decrease, thereby making the temperature difference less than the preset temperature difference threshold, which means that the actual inlet water temperature reaches the target inlet water temperature.
[0088] The total adjustment cycle can be understood as the adjustment cycle required for the actual inlet water temperature to reach the target inlet water temperature. The preset adjustment cycle can be understood as the cycle for adjusting the actual inlet water temperature. The preset temperature difference threshold can be understood as the upper limit of the inlet water temperature difference. The preset adjustment temperature can be understood as the adjustment value of the actual inlet water temperature. It should be noted that the preset adjustment cycle, preset temperature difference threshold, and preset adjustment temperature can all be set or adjusted by technical personnel according to their needs or experience, or determined through extensive testing; this application does not impose any limitations on these aspects.
[0089] S520, when the actual inlet water temperature reaches the target inlet water temperature, obtains the outlet pressure and outlet temperature of the battery heat exchanger; wherein, the battery heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between the refrigerant of the integrated refrigeration system and the cooling water corresponding to the vehicle battery.
[0090] Optionally, the outlet pressure of the battery heat exchanger can be obtained by installing a pressure sensor at the refrigerant output end of the battery heat exchanger; the outlet temperature of the battery heat exchanger can be obtained by installing a temperature sensor at the refrigerant output end of the battery heat exchanger.
[0091] S530 determines the target refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system based on the outlet pressure and outlet temperature.
[0092] Optionally, for a total adjustment cycle, the initial refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system can be determined based on the outlet pressure and outlet temperature. The target refrigerant superheat for that total adjustment cycle is determined by limiting the adjustment of the initial refrigerant superheat. Here, the initial refrigerant superheat can be understood as the preliminarily determined refrigerant superheat.
[0093] Optionally, the initial refrigerant superheat can be limited and adjusted based on a preset upper and lower superheat threshold to determine the target refrigerant superheat. For example, if the initial refrigerant superheat is greater than the preset upper superheat threshold, the preset upper superheat threshold is used as the target refrigerant superheat; if the initial refrigerant superheat is less than the preset lower superheat threshold, the preset lower superheat threshold is used as the target refrigerant superheat. It should be noted that both the preset upper and lower superheat thresholds can be set or adjusted by technicians according to their needs or experience, or determined through extensive testing; this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0094] In this embodiment, the temperature of the cooling water corresponding to the vehicle battery is gradually adjusted according to the target inlet water temperature, enabling the actual inlet water temperature of the cooling water corresponding to the vehicle battery to reach the target inlet water temperature. Once the actual inlet water temperature reaches the target inlet water temperature, the outlet pressure and outlet temperature of the battery heat exchanger are obtained, and the target refrigerant superheat of the integrated refrigeration system is determined based on the outlet pressure and outlet temperature. This technical solution ensures that, at the determined target refrigerant superheat, both the cooling requirements of the integrated refrigeration system are met, and the stable operation of the integrated refrigeration system is guaranteed.
[0095] Based on the technical solutions of the above embodiments, this application also provides an optional embodiment in which the adjustment steps of the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve are refined.
[0096] See Figure 6 The steps for adjusting the opening of the electronic expansion valve shown include:
[0097] S610 determines the target opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the actual refrigerant superheat and the target refrigerant superheat.
[0098] The target opening degree of the electronic expansion valve can be understood as the opening degree that the electronic expansion valve needs to achieve in the next adjustment.
[0099] In one optional embodiment, the current opening degree of the electronic expansion valve can be obtained; if the actual refrigerant superheat is greater than the target refrigerant superheat, and the superheat difference between the actual refrigerant superheat and the target refrigerant superheat is greater than a preset superheat difference threshold, then the sum of the current opening degree and the preset opening degree increment is used as the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; if the actual refrigerant superheat is less than the target refrigerant superheat, and the superheat difference between the actual refrigerant superheat and the target refrigerant superheat is greater than the preset superheat difference threshold, then the sum of the current opening degree and the preset opening degree decrement is used as the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve.
[0100] The preset superheat difference threshold can be understood as the upper limit of the difference between the actual refrigerant superheat and the target refrigerant superheat. It should be noted that the preset superheat difference threshold, preset opening increment, and preset opening decrement can all be set or adjusted by technicians according to their needs or experience, or determined through extensive testing; this application does not impose any limitations on this. The basic opening of the electronic expansion valve can be understood as the base value of the target opening, that is, the basic opening used to determine the target opening.
[0101] Furthermore, the preset opening correction amount of the electronic expansion valve can be determined based on the compressor feedback speed; the sum of the base opening and the preset opening correction amount is used as the corrected opening of the electronic expansion valve. The preset opening correction amount can be understood as the correction amount used to adjust the base opening. The corrected opening of the electronic expansion valve can be understood as the opening obtained after adjusting the base opening.
[0102] Optionally, the preset opening correction amount of the electronic expansion valve can be determined based on the mapping relationship between the compressor feedback speed and the preset opening correction amount. It should be noted that the mapping relationship between the compressor feedback speed and the preset opening correction amount can be set or adjusted by technicians according to their needs or experience, or determined through a large number of experiments; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0106] In this embodiment, the target opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined based on the actual refrigerant superheat and the target refrigerant superheat. The opening degree of the electronic expansion valve in the integrated refrigeration system is then adjusted according to the target opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, thereby improving the accuracy of the adjustment of the electronic expansion valve opening degree.
