Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 The flow chart of the vehicle air conditioner refrigerant charge definition method in a specific embodiment is shown, and the method comprises:

[0061] S101: Perform the charge test process, configure the target environment temperature threshold of the air conditioner operation.

[0062] In some embodiments, other related parameters can also be obtained before defining the vehicle air conditioner refrigerant charge. For example, rated refrigeration capacity, refrigerant type, ambient temperature, vehicle use conditions, and test environment.

[0063] The rated refrigerating capacity here is the rated refrigerating capacity of the air conditioning system of the commercial vehicle. The refrigerant type can adopt R32 refrigerant, and other types of refrigerant can also be adopted according to actual needs.

[0064] The ambient temperature can consider the influence of the ambient temperature on the refrigerant charge. For example, in a high-temperature environment, the evaporation speed of the refrigerant will be accelerated, and the charge can be appropriately increased to ensure the refrigeration effect.

[0065] S102: Detect the state of the test vehicle and the sensor state.

[0066] In some embodiments, during the test, the load, driving speed, external wind speed, etc. of the vehicle can be detected.

[0067] The embodiment can set corresponding sensors at the positions where data needs to be collected, and save the communication connection state of the sensor and the controller, so that the sensed data is transmitted to the controller in time for use.

[0068] For example, in a laboratory or actual use environment, a target ambient temperature threshold can also be set to simulate the use of the vehicle at different temperatures. The sensor can sense the ambient temperature and humidity, the refrigerant charge, the high-pressure pressure of the air conditioning system, the air outlet temperature, etc.

[0069] The data of the refrigerant charging process are recorded, including the refrigerant charge, the high-pressure pressure of the air conditioning system, the air outlet temperature, etc. By drawing a relationship diagram, the region where the high-pressure of the air conditioning system tends to be stable is found, and the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the refrigerant charge are defined.

[0070] In some embodiments, the sensors can be detected, and the test vehicle state can also be detected. The detection methods include the running states of the engine, the air conditioning system, and other related systems.

[0071] Confirm that all temperature sensors, pressure sensors, etc. related to the air conditioning system are in normal working state and can accurately feedback data.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, the completeness, no leakage, and normal work of the air conditioning system parts can also be detected. The air conditioning air duct has no air leakage, and the valve works normally. The switches for controlling the air conditioning work normally, and the warm air water valve opening and closing are normal; whether the air tightness of the test vehicle and the heat insulation parts around the engine compartment meet the design requirements of the whole vehicle; whether the engine, gearbox and fan states are normal, whether the corresponding control method can be realized; whether the front end air inlet condition of the test vehicle is consistent with the design requirements, etc.

[0073] S103: Execute the test process, charge the refrigerant into the test bench, record the refrigerant charging process data, and draw a relationship diagram between the air-conditioning high pressure and the refrigerant charging amount with the refrigerant charging amount as the X-axis and the air-conditioning system high pressure as the Y-axis. Find the area where the air-conditioning system high pressure tends to be stable in the relationship diagram between the air-conditioning high pressure and the refrigerant charging amount, and define the upper limit and lower limit of the refrigerant charging amount.

[0074] In some embodiments, a refrigerant charging device may be used to gradually charge the refrigerant into the air conditioning system of the test vehicle according to a preset step size. After each charging point, the high pressure value and temperature parameters of the air conditioning system are recorded.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, during the charging process, this embodiment generates refrigerant charge data and air conditioning system high-pressure data. Using data analysis software or a graphing tool, a relationship graph is plotted with the refrigerant charge as the X-axis and the air conditioning system high-pressure as the Y-axis. By analyzing the relationship graph, it is possible to identify areas where the air conditioning system high-pressure tends to be stable. The refrigerant charge corresponding to these areas is the upper and lower limits.

[0076] S104: When the difference between the outlet air temperature at the lower limit of the refrigerant charge amount and the target outlet air temperature is less than the preset temperature value, the refrigerant charge amount lower limit M is used to calculate the outlet air temperature. min , Refrigerant charge upper limit M max And the outlet temperature compensation M h The sum of the two values ​​is the optimal refrigerant charge.

[0077] In the embodiments of the present application, when the refrigerant charge reaches the lower limit, the air outlet temperature of the air conditioning system is measured. The air outlet temperature is compared with the target air outlet temperature. If the difference is less than a preset temperature value, the optimal refrigerant charge is calculated using an algorithm based on the lower and upper limits of the refrigerant charge and the air outlet temperature compensation.

[0078] S105: Based on the obtained optimal refrigerant charge amount, define a medium pressure protection pressure and a medium pressure protection exit pressure.

[0079] In some embodiments, a medium-pressure protection pressure is defined based on the optimal refrigerant charge and the performance of the air conditioning system. This protection pressure can be used to trigger a protection mechanism during air conditioning system operation when the system pressure exceeds a certain threshold, preventing system damage. A medium-pressure protection release pressure is also defined; when the system pressure drops to a certain level, the protection mechanism is automatically released, and the system resumes normal operation.

[0080] The method for defining the refrigerant charging quantity of the vehicle air conditioner of the embodiment relates to drawing a graph of the air conditioner high pressure and the refrigerant charging quantity, finding a region in which the air conditioner system high pressure tends to be stable, defining the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the refrigerant charging quantity, and obtaining the optimal refrigerant charging quantity based on the sum of the refrigerant charging quantity lower limit, the refrigerant charging quantity upper limit and the air outlet temperature compensation quantity in the state that the difference between the air outlet temperature at the refrigerant charging quantity lower limit point and the target air outlet temperature is less than a preset temperature value. Further, the medium pressure protection pressure and the medium pressure protection exit pressure can be defined. Thus, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the refrigerant charging quantity can be accurately found. Compared with the traditional experience judgment or rough estimation, the method is more accurate and can ensure that the performance of the refrigeration system reaches the optimum. The optimal refrigerant charging quantity is obtained based on the comprehensive consideration of the refrigerant charging quantity lower limit, the refrigerant charging quantity upper limit and the air outlet temperature compensation quantity. The refrigeration effect of the air conditioner system can be ensured and the energy efficiency ratio of the system can be improved.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present application, based on steps S103 to S105, a possible embodiment will be described below to illustrate the specific implementation thereof.

[0082] In some specific embodiments, after the test starts, the engine is started and the rotating speed is kept at a predetermined idle rotating speed n±20 r / min.

[0083] In the embodiment, the refrigerant is filled into the low-pressure pipeline of the air conditioner system, the initial charging quantity is set as M0, and then the same single charging quantity M n The refrigerant is continuously filled until the charging quantity reaches the end charging quantity M1.

[0084] After each charging, the air conditioner system high pressure value is read by the built-in pressure sensor of the air conditioner, and the temperature of each air outlet of the air conditioner is measured by the temperature sensor.

[0085] In the embodiment, the refrigerant charging quantity is taken as the X axis, the air conditioner system high pressure is taken as the Y axis, a graph of the air conditioner high pressure and the refrigerant charging quantity is drawn, and a region in which the air conditioner system high pressure tends to be stable is found.

[0086] In some specific embodiments, the refrigerant charging quantity lower limit M min is the refrigerant charging quantity corresponding to the starting point of the air conditioner system high pressure stable region, and the refrigerant charging quantity upper limit M max is the refrigerant charging quantity corresponding to the ending point of the air conditioner system high pressure stable region.

[0087] After the optimal refrigerant charging quantity is determined in the embodiment, the air outlet temperature at the refrigerant charging quantity lower limit point is compared with the target air outlet temperature.

[0088] If the air outlet temperature Tmin and target air outlet temperature T t The difference is less than 1℃, that is, T min -T t <1℃, determine the optimal filling volume M t , the calculation formula is: M t =0.5×(M min +M max ).

[0089] In some embodiments, a medium pressure protection pressure and a medium pressure protection exit pressure are determined.

[0090] The air conditioner medium pressure protection parameters can be adjusted according to the condensing pressure in the test.

[0091] It should be noted that the vehicle controller can determine the start and stop of the air-conditioning compressor and the engagement and disengagement of the original vehicle cooling fan according to the control logic.

[0092] For example, when the fan of the test vehicle is not engaged, the difference between the phase change temperature of the air conditioner condenser and the ambient temperature is calculated. The actual working temperature of the commercial vehicle air conditioner is T1, which is the highest ambient temperature T in the area where the air conditioner user vehicle is located. h and ΔT1, that is, T1=T h +ΔT1.

[0093] In some embodiments, the medium pressure protection pressure P1 is the phase change pressure when the working fluid temperature of the commercial vehicle air conditioner is actually T1.

[0094] The medium pressure protection exit pressure P0 is the high pressure value P of the commercial vehicle air conditioning system in stable operation. n and pressure fluctuation value P w The sum of P0=P n +P w .

[0095] Here P n This is the high pressure value when the commercial vehicle air conditioner is operated at the optimal charge amount and the preset target ambient temperature.

[0096] In this embodiment, by using the initial charging amount, the single charging amount, the final charging amount, the lower limit M of the refrigerant charging amount min , Refrigerant charge upper limit M max Based on these limits, the optimal charge volume is calculated to ensure that the air conditioning system maintains high operating efficiency under different operating conditions. The medium-pressure protection parameters of the air conditioning system can also be adjusted based on the condensing pressure during the test, improving cooling performance and extending the service life of the air conditioning system.

[0097] The embodiment also compares the outlet air temperature at the lower limit of the refrigerant charge amount with the target outlet air temperature, and adjusts the optimal charge amount accordingly, so as to ensure that the outlet air temperature provided by the air conditioning system is closer to the temperature expected by the user, thereby improving the comfort of using the air conditioner.

[0098] The medium pressure protection pressure and the medium pressure protection exit pressure determined in the embodiment can prevent the air conditioning system from being damaged due to excessively high pressure. It can also ensure that the air conditioning system can respond in time when encountering abnormal conditions, protect the system from damage, and improve the safety and reliability of the system.

[0099] The embodiment mainly aims at the control of air conditioners for commercial vehicles. The embodiment takes into account the differences in use environment of commercial vehicles in different regions and different seasons when conducting tests or in use. The medium pressure protection pressure is set by calculating the actual working medium temperature of the air conditioner of the commercial vehicle, so that the air conditioning system can better adapt to various environmental conditions and improve the adaptability and flexibility of the system.

[0100] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in order to further improve the reliability of the vehicle air conditioner refrigerant charge amount defining method provided by the above-mentioned embodiments, in an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the following specific steps can also be involved.

[0101] S201: Perform the charge amount test process, and configure the target environment temperature threshold of the air conditioner operation.

[0102] S202: Check the state of the test vehicle and the state of the sensor.

[0103] S203: Perform the test process, charge the refrigerant test bench, record the refrigerant charge amount process data, and plot the relationship between the air conditioner high pressure and the refrigerant charge amount with the refrigerant charge amount as the X axis and the air conditioner system high pressure as the Y axis, find the region in the graph where the air conditioner system high pressure tends to be stable, and define the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the refrigerant charge amount.

[0104] S204: If the difference between the outlet air temperature T min at the lower limit of the refrigerant charge amount and the target outlet air temperature T t is greater than 1℃, and the difference between the outlet air temperature T max at the upper limit of the refrigerant charge amount and the target outlet air temperature T t is less than 1℃.

[0105] That is, T max -T t <1℃<T min -T t , the optimal charge amount M t is determined.

[0106] The calculation formula of the embodiment is: M t= 0.5 x (M min + M max ) + M h , 0 < M h < 0.5 x (M max - M min ).

[0107] S205: defining the medium-pressure protection pressure and the medium-pressure protection exit pressure according to the obtained optimal refrigerant charge.

[0108] The embodiment obtains the optimal refrigerant charge based on the comprehensive consideration of the refrigerant charge lower limit, the refrigerant charge upper limit, and the air outlet temperature compensation amount. The refrigeration effect of the air conditioning system can be ensured, and the energy efficiency ratio of the system can be improved. The embodiment can determine the refrigerant charge range to avoid the possibility that too much refrigerant causes the system pressure to be too high, affecting the service life of the compressor, and too little refrigerant causes poor refrigeration effect. Therefore, a reasonable charge range can significantly improve the stability and reliability of the air conditioning system.

[0122] The refrigerant filling amount definition rule configured in this embodiment can determine the qualified range or standard value of the refrigerant filling amount according to the vehicle model, air conditioning system specifications, and industry standards. The specific standards for verifying the refrigerant filling amount process data are determined, such as data acquisition frequency, data accuracy requirements, and abnormal value judgment standards. The refrigerant filling amount definition rule is stored on the filling amount monitoring server in the form of program logic or configuration file for subsequent automatic verification and use.

[0123] In some embodiments, the refrigerant filling amount process data generated based on the refrigerant filling amount test process is obtained from the test vehicle.

[0124] In this embodiment, the test vehicle is connected to the filling quantity monitoring server via a wired or wireless method to ensure that data can be transmitted in real time.

[0125] After the test vehicle enters the preset test process, the data acquisition system is activated to begin recording process data related to the refrigerant charge, such as charge pressure, temperature, and real-time charge value. The collected data is transmitted to the charge monitoring server in real time or periodically to ensure data integrity and timeliness.

[0126] In some embodiments, the refrigerant charge process data is validated according to refrigerant charge definition rules.

[0127] In this embodiment, the received data can be cleaned and preprocessed to remove noise, outliers, etc. to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0128] This embodiment also matches the pre-processed data with pre-configured refrigerant charge quantity definition rules to check whether the data meets the rule requirements.

[0129] If the data meets the rule requirements, it is marked as verified and performance evaluation or recording is performed.

[0130] If the data does not meet the requirements of the rules, it will be marked as verification failure and a corresponding error report or warning message will be generated to point out the problem, such as insufficient or excessive charging volume, data anomaly, etc.

[0131] In this embodiment, feedback can be provided to the test personnel or technicians based on the verification results to guide them to make corresponding adjustments or optimizations, such as refilling, adjusting test parameters, etc.

[0132] Based on the above approach, the present application can configure the refrigerant charge definition rules corresponding to the refrigerant charge test process while configuring the refrigerant charge test process for the test vehicle. Thus, after obtaining the refrigerant charge process data collected based on the refrigerant charge test process from the test vehicle, the refrigerant charge process data can be verified according to the refrigerant charge definition rules, thereby achieving dynamic verification of the collected refrigerant charge process data. Since the refrigerant charge definition rules are configured for the refrigerant charge test process, the refrigerant charge process data verified by the refrigerant charge definition rules can meet the refrigerant charge definition requirements. This allows for precise definition and dynamic verification of the vehicle air conditioner refrigerant charge, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
