It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application realizes the heat exchange between the air conditioning circuit and the oil heat dissipation circuit through the oil cooling heat exchanger 9, recovers the heat of the oil in the heating state, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment using the vehicle power supply, improving the heat recovery rate of the oil, that is, improving the utilization rate of the heat generated by the oil during operation, realizing the effective utilization of the residual heat of the oil, improving the heating comfort of the passenger compartment, reducing the power consumption of the whole vehicle, and thereby improving the cruising range of the vehicle at low temperatures. In the cooling state, reduce the effect of the heat of the engine oil on the cooling of the air-conditioning circuit, minimize the energy consumption of the air-conditioning equipment using the on-board power supply, and extend the battery life of the on-board power supply.

[0059] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0060] First of all, the term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0061] The present application embodiment provides Figure 1 A heat recovery system is shown, the system includes a controller (not shown in Figure 1 As shown in the figure), an air-conditioning circuit and an oil cooling circuit, heat exchange is performed between the air-conditioning circuit and the oil cooling circuit via an oil cooling heat exchanger 9; the air-conditioning circuit includes a refrigeration sub-circuit and a heating sub-circuit; the oil cooling circuit includes a first sub-circuit and a second sub-circuit for circulation of engine oil.

[0062] The gas-liquid separation tank 1, the compressor 2, the first full-pass stop valve 3, the oil-cooled heat exchanger 9, the first electronic expansion valve 6, the evaporator 4 and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 of the air conditioning circuit are connected in sequence to form a refrigeration sub-circuit.

[0063] The gas-liquid separation tank 1, the compressor 2, the in-vehicle condenser 5, the second electronic expansion valve 7, the oil-cooled heat exchanger 9, the second full-pass stop valve 8, and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 of the air-conditioning circuit are connected in sequence to form a heating sub-circuit.

[0064] The radiator 11, the oil cooling heat exchanger 9, the second oil pump 10, the first port of the second three-way proportional valve 15, the second port of the second three-way proportional valve 15 and the radiator 11 of the oil cooling circuit are connected in sequence to form a first sub-circuit.

[0065] The first oil pump 14 of the oil cooling circuit, the engine oil circuit 13, the first port of the first three-way proportional valve 12, the second port of the first three-way proportional valve 12, the oil pan 17, and the first oil pump 14 are sequentially connected to form a second sub-circuit.

[0066] The third port of the second three-way proportional valve 15 is connected to the oil pan 17 through the pressure check valve 16, and the pressure check valve 16 is connected to the oil pan 17 from the third port of the second three-way proportional valve 15. The pressure check valve 16 can only be opened under a certain pressure, and the flow is one-way, ensuring that the first sub-circuit is always full of oil and will not flow back into the oil pan 17 due to gravity. The first oil pump 14 is linked to the engine, and the second three-way proportional valve 15 defaults to the first port being connected to the second port.

[0067] The third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is connected to the passage connecting the radiator 11 and the second three-way proportional valve 15 .

[0068] In actual operation, in addition to the above-mentioned circuits and related equipment, some sensors are also set up accordingly. Figure 1 The corresponding pressure temperature sensors PT1 and PT2, and the temperature sensors T1 and T2 for measuring the temperature of the oil cooling circuit. The relevant sensors can be set according to actual conditions, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0069] The controller is electrically connected to the refrigeration sub-circuit, the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit respectively, and is used to control the refrigeration sub-circuit, the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit to be turned on or off respectively.

[0070] Specifically, the controller is electrically connected to the following devices respectively:

[0071] The first full-pass stop valve 3, the second full-pass stop valve 8, the first electronic expansion valve 6, the second electronic expansion valve 7, the radiator 11, the first oil pump 14, the second oil pump 10, the second three-way proportional valve 15, the first three-way proportional valve 12, PT1, PT2, T1 and T2 and other electronic control devices.

[0072] The embodiment of the present application couples the air conditioning circuit and the oil cooling circuit through the oil cooling heat exchanger 9, so that the air conditioning circuit can recover the heat of the oil cooling circuit in the heating state, thereby improving the heat utilization rate of the oil circuit, reducing the vehicle's energy consumption, and extending the vehicle's driving mileage.

[0073] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application embodiment provides the following Figure 2 A heat recovery method shown is applied to a heat recovery system as provided above, specifically to a controller of a heat recovery system, and the method includes steps S21 to S23.

[0074] Step S21, obtaining the target operating state of the air conditioning circuit;

[0075] Step S22, when the target operating state is the cooling state, the cooling sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is closed to control the radiator 11 to operate in the heat dissipation mode;

[0076] Step S23, when the target operating state is the heating state, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is controlled to be connected to the first port, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows into the first sub-circuit.

[0077] A heat recovery method provided in an embodiment of the present application can be executed by an on-board controller of a vehicle where an air-conditioning circuit is located, or can be executed by an air-conditioning controller corresponding to the air-conditioning circuit. The embodiment of the present application only takes the air-conditioning controller as an example for subsequent description.

[0078] Regarding step S21 , the target operating state of the air-conditioning circuit is acquired.

[0079] The operating state of the air conditioning circuit includes a working state and a non-working state, wherein the working state includes a cooling state and a heating state. A state identifier corresponding to the air conditioning circuit can be read, and the operating state of the air conditioning circuit can be determined based on the state identifier.

[0080] When the target operating state is a non-operating state, it means that the heat of the oil circuit can only be lost, and the first port and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 can be controlled to be connected. When the first port and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 are connected, the radiator 11 in the first sub-circuit can be controlled to dissipate heat, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the engine oil circuit 13 and ensuring that the engine oil circuit 13 operates at a suitable temperature.

[0081] When the target operation state is the cooling state, step S22 may be continued to be performed. When the target operation state is the heating state, step S23 may be continued to be performed.

[0082] Regarding step S22, when the target operating state is the cooling state, the cooling sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is closed to control the radiator 11 to operate in the heat dissipation mode.

[0083] When the target operating state is the cooling state, it means that the heat of the oil circuit can only be lost.

[0084] Control the operation of the refrigeration sub-circuit, combined with Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the first electronic expansion valve 6 and the first full-pass stop valve 3 are controlled to be turned on, and the second electronic expansion valve 7 and the second full-pass stop valve 8 are controlled to be turned off, so that the refrigeration sub-circuit operates.

[0085] On this basis, the first sub-circuit is also controlled to operate in the heat dissipation mode, specifically, the radiator 11 is controlled to dissipate the heat in the oil circuit to the outside, that is, to operate in the heat dissipation mode. The radiator 11 can be adjusted to be in the heat dissipation mode or the heat absorption mode by changing the rotation direction of the fan.

[0086] The oil heat exchanger 9 absorbs the heat of the vehicle passenger compartment, and then dissipates the heat of the oil heat exchanger 9 when the radiator 11 of the first sub-circuit dissipates the heat, which can reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioning circuit on the whole vehicle to a certain extent.

[0087] In addition, it is also necessary to close the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 to prevent the heat of the engine oil circuit 13 from flowing into the first sub-circuit through the third port, thereby preventing the temperature of the oil heat exchanger 9 from rising, and further preventing the air-conditioning circuit from using more energy to cool the oil circuit, which can avoid the increase in energy consumption of the air-conditioning circuit for the entire vehicle to a certain extent.

[0088] Regarding step S23, when the target operating state is the heating state, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is controlled to be connected to the first port, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows into the first sub-circuit.

[0089] When the target operating state is the heating state, the heat of the oil circuit can be recovered and utilized.

[0090] The heating sub-circuit is controlled to operate, specifically, the second electronic expansion valve 7 and the second full-pass stop valve 8 are controlled to be turned on, and the first electronic expansion valve 6 and the first full-pass stop valve 3 are controlled to be turned off, so that the heating sub-circuit operates.

[0091] Controlling the operation of the first sub-circuit specifically controls the second oil pump 10 to drive the oil in the pipeline to move. As for the state of the radiator 11, it can be determined according to the heat level (i.e. temperature) of the engine oil circuit 13 and the target heating temperature of the air conditioning circuit.

[0092] By controlling the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 to be in communication with the first port, the oil in the second sub-circuit can flow into the first sub-circuit, bringing the heat of the engine oil circuit 13 to the first sub-circuit. As for the opening degree of the connection between the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 and the first port, it can be determined according to the heat level (that is, the temperature level) of the engine oil circuit 13 and the target heating temperature of the air conditioning circuit.

[0093] Furthermore, when the target operating state is a heating state, the method further includes:

[0094] Step S231, when the target operating state is the heating state, monitoring the target heating temperature corresponding to the air conditioning circuit and the actual operating temperature corresponding to the oil cooling circuit;

[0095] Step S232, when the actual operating temperature is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, the radiator 11 is controlled to operate in the heat absorption mode, the third port and the first port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 are controlled to be closed, and the first heating power of the heating sub-circuit is determined according to the actual space temperature of the passenger compartment space corresponding to the heating sub-circuit and the target heating temperature; the first preset threshold is less than the target heating temperature;

[0096] Step S233, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, the radiator 11 is controlled to operate in the heat absorption mode, the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is controlled to be connected to the first port, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows to the first sub-circuit, and the second heating power of the heating sub-circuit is determined according to the actual space temperature, the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature.

[0097] Regarding step S231, the target heating temperature is set by the user and is the temperature that the user wants the passenger compartment space to eventually reach. The actual operating temperature is the actual temperature of the oil cooling circuit, which can be specifically Figure 1 The target heating temperature is changed according to the user's adjustment, and the target heating temperature is updated after the user's adjustment of the target heating temperature is detected.

[0098] When the target operating state is the heating state, the relationship between the actual operating temperature and the first preset threshold is determined. The first preset threshold is used to determine whether the oil heat recovery is necessary. The specific value can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be 25°C. When the actual operating temperature is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, step S232 can be continued. When the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold, step S233 can be continued.

[0099] Regarding step S232, when the actual operating temperature is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it means that the heat of the oil circuit cannot be recovered. The embodiment of the present application controls the radiator 11 to operate in the heat absorption mode to provide a small amount of heat to the oil cooling heat exchanger 9 through the radiator 11, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle by the air conditioning circuit heating to a certain extent. The third port and the first port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 are controlled to be closed to prevent the low-temperature oil in the engine oil circuit 13 from flowing into the first sub-circuit, and to prevent the oil in the second sub-circuit from absorbing heat from the first sub-circuit and the air conditioning circuit, thereby avoiding the energy consumption of the whole vehicle by the air conditioning circuit heating.

[0100] Since heat cannot be recovered from the engine oil circuit 13, the heating sub-circuit needs to determine the heating power based on the actual space temperature of the passenger compartment space and the target heating temperature.

[0101] Regarding step S233, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold value, it means that the heat of the engine oil circuit 13 can be recovered. On the basis of controlling the operation of the heating sub-circuit, the operation of the first sub-circuit is controlled, and the first port and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 are controlled to be connected, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit can flow into the first sub-circuit, and the heat of the oil can be brought to the oil-cooling heat exchanger 9, providing heat for the air-conditioning circuit, reducing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle by the air-conditioning circuit heating, and improving the utilization rate of the heat of the oil circuit.

[0102] The radiator 11 can also be controlled to operate in a heat absorption mode to provide a small amount of heat to the oil cooling heat exchanger 9 through the radiator 11, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the entire vehicle by the air conditioning circuit heating to a certain extent.

[0103] In this case, the air-conditioning circuit can determine the heating power of the heating sub-circuit according to the actual space temperature, the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature to meet the user's heating needs for the passenger compartment.

[0104] Furthermore, when the target operating state is the heating state, after monitoring the target heating temperature corresponding to the air-conditioning circuit and the actual operating temperature corresponding to the oil cooling circuit, the method further includes steps S234 and S235.

[0105] Step S234, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature is greater than the second preset threshold, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, and the first opening of the third port and the first port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is determined according to the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows into the first sub-circuit.

[0106] Step S235, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature is less than or equal to the second preset threshold value, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, the radiator 11 is controlled to operate in the heat absorption mode, and the second opening of the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 that is connected to the first port is determined according to the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows into the first sub-circuit.

[0107] Regarding step S234, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature is greater than the second preset threshold, it means that the heat of the oil circuit is sufficient and the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit can be controlled to operate.

[0108] On this basis, the first opening of the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 connected to the first port can be determined according to the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature, thereby controlling the flow of the oil in the second sub-circuit to the first sub-circuit.

[0109] When the temperature difference is large, the heat of the oil in the second sub-circuit is mainly used as the energy source for heating the air conditioning circuit. The higher the utilization rate of the heat in the second sub-circuit, the less energy the air conditioning circuit consumes for the entire vehicle. Therefore, the first opening needs to be as large as possible.

[0110] Regarding step S235, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature is less than or equal to the second preset threshold value, it means that the heat of the oil circuit is not sufficient. On the basis of controlling the operation of the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit, the radiator 11 can be controlled to operate in the heat absorption mode to provide a small amount of heat to the oil heat exchanger 9 through the radiator 11, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle by the air-conditioning circuit heating to a certain extent.

[0111] On this basis, the second opening of the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 connected to the first port can be determined according to the difference between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows to the first sub-circuit, thereby controlling the flow of the oil in the second sub-circuit to the first sub-circuit.

[0112] When the temperature difference is large, the heat of the oil in the second sub-circuit is mainly used as the energy source for heating the air conditioning circuit. The higher the utilization rate of the heat in the second sub-circuit, the less energy the air conditioning circuit consumes for the entire vehicle. Therefore, the second opening needs to be as large as possible.

[0113] Further, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold value, and the actual operating temperature is less than or equal to the target heating temperature, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, the radiator 11 is controlled to operate in the heat absorption mode, and the third port and the first port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 are controlled to have the maximum opening, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows into the first sub-circuit. Controlling the third port and the first port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 to have the maximum opening can maximize the use of the heat of the oil circuit and improve the heat recovery rate.

[0114] In summary, the embodiment of the present application obtains the target operating state of the air conditioning circuit; when the target operating state is the cooling state, the cooling sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is closed, and the radiator 11 is controlled to operate in the heat dissipation mode; when the target operating state is the heating state, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, and the third port of the first three-way proportional valve 12 is controlled to be connected to the first port, so that the oil in the second sub-circuit flows into the first sub-circuit. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application realizes the heat exchange between the air conditioning circuit and the oil heat dissipation circuit through the oil cooling heat exchanger 9, recovers the heat of the oil in the heating state, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment using the vehicle power supply, improving the heat recovery rate of the oil, that is, improving the utilization rate of the heat generated by the oil during operation, realizing the effective utilization of the residual heat of the oil, improving the heating comfort of the passenger compartment, reducing the power consumption of the whole vehicle, and thus improving the cruising range of the vehicle at low temperatures. In the cooling state, reduce the effect of the heat of the engine oil on the cooling of the air-conditioning circuit, minimize the energy consumption of the air-conditioning equipment using the on-board power supply, and extend the battery life of the on-board power supply.
