DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The embodiments of the present application solve the technical problems in the prior art that the heat generated by the air compressor is lost and the heat utilization rate is low by providing an energy recovery system, method, device, equipment and medium.

[0058] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0059] This embodiment obtains the target operating state of the air conditioning circuit; when the target operating state is the heating state, the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is obtained; when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the stagnant state, the air compressor stagnation heating sub-circuit is controlled to operate; when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the operating state, the air compressor operation heating sub-circuit is controlled to operate. It can be seen that this embodiment uses the heat exchanger 12 to recover the heat generated by the air compressor 16. When the air conditioning circuit needs to use the heat generated by the air compressor 16, the refrigerant in the air conditioning circuit flows through the heat exchanger 12 to improve the utilization rate of the heat of the air compressor 16, while reducing the consumption of on-board electric energy during the heating process of the air conditioning circuit, thereby increasing the vehicle's cruising range. This embodiment couples the air compressor 16 with the air conditioning circuit, effectively utilizes the waste heat of compressed air, improves the heating comfort of the passenger compartment, reduces the energy consumption of the entire vehicle, and thereby increases the cruising range of the vehicle at low temperatures.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] This embodiment provides Figure 1 An energy recovery system shown in FIG. 1 includes a controller (not shown in FIG. Figure 1 ), the air conditioning circuit and the air supply circuit, the air conditioning circuit and the air supply circuit realize heat exchange through the heat exchanger 12;

[0063] The air conditioning circuit includes a gas-liquid separation tank 1, a compressor 2, a fourth stop valve 7, an in-vehicle condenser 9, an evaporator 8, a first electronic expansion valve 14, a second electronic expansion valve 13, a full-pass throttle valve 11, a heat exchanger 12, a third stop valve 10, an outdoor heat exchanger 5, and a second stop valve 3;

[0064] The gas-liquid separation tank 1, the compressor 2, the first stop valve 4, the outdoor heat exchanger 5, the full-pass throttle valve 11, the first electronic expansion valve 14, the evaporator 8, and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 of the air conditioning circuit are sequentially connected to form a refrigeration sub-circuit;

[0065] The gas-liquid separation tank 1, the compressor 2, the fourth stop valve 7, the in-vehicle condenser 9, the full-pass throttle valve 11, the outdoor heat exchanger 5, the second stop valve 3, and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 of the air conditioning circuit are sequentially connected to form an air compressor stagnation heating sub-circuit;

[0066] The gas-liquid separation tank 1, the compressor 2, the fourth stop valve 7, the in-vehicle condenser 9, the second electronic expansion valve 13, the heat exchanger 12, the third stop valve 10, and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 of the air conditioning circuit are sequentially connected to form an air compressor operation heating sub-circuit;

[0067] The full-pass throttle valve 11 is connected in parallel at both ends of the heat exchanger 12 and the second electronic expansion valve 13;

[0068] The air supply circuit includes an air filter 15, an air compressor 16, a heat exchanger 12, an intercooler 17, a humidifier 18 and a fuel cell stack 19 which are connected in sequence.

[0069] 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 sensor P, temperature sensor T1, temperature pressure sensor PT, and temperature sensor T2 for measuring the temperature of the air supply circuit are provided. The relevant sensors can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0070] The controller is electrically connected to the refrigeration sub-circuit, the air compressor stagnation heating sub-circuit, the air compressor operation heating sub-circuit, and the air supply circuit respectively. The controller is used to control the refrigeration sub-circuit, the air compressor stagnation heating sub-circuit, and the air compressor operation heating sub-circuit to be turned on or off respectively.

[0071] Specifically, the controller is electrically connected to the following devices respectively:

[0072] The second stop valve 3, the first stop valve 4, the outdoor heat exchanger 5, the electronic fan 6, the fourth stop valve 7, the third stop valve 10, the full-pass throttle valve 11, the second electronic expansion valve 13, the first electronic expansion valve 14, the air compressor 16, P, T1, PT and T2 and other electronic control devices.

[0073] This embodiment couples the air conditioning circuit and the air supply circuit through the heat exchanger 12, so that the air conditioning circuit can recover the heat of the air compressor 16 in the air supply circuit in the heating state, thereby improving the heat utilization rate of the air compressor 16, reducing the vehicle's energy consumption, and extending the vehicle's driving mileage.

[0074] Based on the same inventive concept, this embodiment provides Figure 2 An energy recovery method shown is applied to an energy recovery system as provided above, specifically to a controller of a heat recovery system, and the method includes steps S21 to S24.

[0075] Step S21, obtaining the target operating state of the air conditioning circuit;

[0076] Step S22, when the target operating state is the heating state, obtaining the actual operating state of the air compressor 16;

[0077] Step S23, when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is a stagnant state, the air compressor 16 is controlled to stagnate and operate as a heating sub-circuit;

[0078] Step S24, when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the running state, the air compressor is controlled to run the heating sub-circuit.

[0079] A heat recovery method provided in this embodiment can be executed by an on-board controller of a vehicle where the air-conditioning circuit is located, or can be executed by an air-conditioning controller corresponding to the air-conditioning circuit. This embodiment only takes the air-conditioning controller as the execution subject for subsequent description.

[0080] Regarding step S21 , the target operating state of the air-conditioning circuit is acquired.

[0081] 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.

[0082] When the target operating state is a non-operating state, it means that the heat generated by the air compressor 16 needs to be dissipated, and the air-conditioning circuit does not operate. Although the heat generated by the air compressor 16 will be transferred to the heat exchanger 12, since the air-conditioning circuit does not operate, the heat in the heat exchanger 12 has little effect on the air-conditioning circuit.

[0083] When the target operation state is the cooling state, the refrigeration sub-circuit is controlled to operate. That is, when the target operation state is the cooling state, the fourth stop valve 7, the second stop valve 3, the third stop valve 10, and the second electronic expansion valve 13 are controlled to be closed, and the first stop valve 4, the full-pass throttle valve 11, and the first electronic expansion valve 14 are controlled to be turned on, so that the refrigeration sub-circuit is in the on state.

[0084] In the cooling state, the air conditioning circuit does not need to recover the heat generated by the air compressor 16. The air conditioning circuit can rely on the outdoor heat exchanger 5 for cooling, and the electronic fan 6 can change the air flow direction of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to assist in cooling. In this embodiment, the full-pass throttle valve 11 is used to transmit the refrigerant in the air conditioning circuit, so that the refrigerant in the air conditioning circuit does not pass through the heat exchanger 12. Then, even if the air compressor 16 is in operation, that is, even if the air compressor 16 is compressing air for the battery stack 19 and generating heat, the heat in the heat exchanger 12 has basically no effect on the air conditioning circuit, which can greatly reduce the effect of the heat absorbed from the air compressor 16 in the heat exchanger 12 on the air conditioning circuit, and reduce the vehicle-mounted power consumed by the air conditioning circuit cooling.

[0085] When the target operating state is the heating state, step S22 may be continued.

[0086] Regarding step S22, when the target operating state is the heating state, the actual operating state of the air compressor 16 is obtained.

[0087] The operating state of the air compressor 16 includes a stagnant state and an operating state. Under the premise that the target operating state is the heating state, when the actual operating state of the air compressor 16 is the stagnant state, continue to execute step S23, and when the actual operating state of the air compressor 16 is the operating state, continue to execute step S24.

[0088] Regarding step S23, when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is a stagnant state, the air compressor is controlled to stagnate the heating sub-loop operation.

[0089] When the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is a stagnant state, it means that the air compressor 16 is not working, which means that the air compressor 16 is not compressing air for the fuel cell stack 19, and the air compressor 16 basically generates no heat. At this time, the air compressor is controlled to stagnate the operation of the heating sub-circuit. In the current case, the air-conditioning circuit mainly relies on the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to achieve heating. The electronic fan 6 can change the airflow direction of the outdoor heat exchanger 5 to assist in heating.

[0090] Specifically, when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is a stagnant state, the fourth stop valve 7, the full-pass throttle valve 11, and the second stop valve 3 are controlled to be turned on, and the first stop valve 4, the first electronic expansion valve 14, the second electronic expansion valve 13, and the third stop valve 10 are controlled to be closed, so that the air compressor stagnation heating sub-circuit is in a conducting state.

[0091] This embodiment uses a full-pass throttle valve 11 to transmit the refrigerant in the air-conditioning circuit, so that the refrigerant in the air-conditioning circuit will not pass through the heat exchanger 12. This can reduce the heat of the refrigerant in the air-conditioning circuit being absorbed by the heat exchanger 12, thereby ensuring that the heating efficiency of the air-conditioning circuit is relatively high, reducing the waste of vehicle-mounted electric energy in the air-conditioning circuit during the heating process, and improving the utilization rate of electric energy.

[0092] Regarding step S24, when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the running state, the air compressor is controlled to run the heating sub-circuit.

[0093] When the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the running state, it means that the air compressor 16 is working and compressing air for the fuel cell stack 19. The air compressor 16 will generate more heat. At this time, the air compressor is controlled to run the heating sub-loop to recover the heat in the heat exchanger 12, that is, the heat generated by the air compressor 16 can be recovered.

[0094] When the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the running state, the fourth stop valve 7, the second electronic expansion valve 13, and the third stop valve 10 are controlled to be turned on, and the first stop valve 4, the first electronic expansion valve 14, the full-pass throttle valve 11, and the second stop valve 3 are controlled to be closed, so that the air compressor operation heating sub-circuit is in a conducting state.

[0095] In this embodiment, the full-throttle valve 11 is closed, and the refrigerant in the air-conditioning circuit is controlled to pass through the heat exchanger 12, thereby recovering the heat of the air compressor 16 into the air-conditioning circuit as much as possible, thereby improving the utilization rate of the heat of the air compressor 16 and reducing the use of on-board electric energy for heating in the air-conditioning circuit, thereby extending the vehicle's cruising range and improving the utilization rate of on-board electric energy.

[0096] Specifically, when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the operating state, the target heating temperature of the passenger compartment space corresponding to the air-conditioning circuit and the actual operating temperature of the air compressor 16 can be obtained; then, based on the target heating temperature and the actual operating temperature, the target heating power of the air compressor circuit is determined, and the air compressor heating sub-circuit is controlled to operate according to the target heating power.

[0097] When the actual operating temperature is lower than the target heating temperature, or when the actual operating temperature is higher than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the two is lower than the preset temperature threshold, it means that the air conditioning circuit needs to use the on-board electric energy for heating on the premise of recovering the heat of the air compressor 16. In this case, the full-throttle valve 11 can be completely closed, so that the refrigerant in the air conditioning circuit flows through the heat exchanger 12. The refrigerant can absorb the heat recovered from the air compressor 16 in the heat exchanger 12, thereby improving the utilization rate of the heat of the air compressor 16 and reducing the use of on-board electric energy by the air conditioning circuit, thereby reducing the energy consumption of heating the passenger compartment space.

[0098] When the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the two is greater than the preset temperature threshold, it means that the heat recovered from the air compressor 16 can basically cover the energy consumption of the air-conditioning circuit to heat the passenger compartment temperature to the target heating temperature. This can minimize the consumption of on-board electrical energy by the air-conditioning equipment. On the one hand, it improves the heat utilization rate of the air compressor 16, and on the other hand, it also reduces the consumption of on-board electrical energy and extends the vehicle's cruising range.

[0099] When the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature and the difference between the two is greater than the preset temperature threshold, it is necessary to control the air compressor to operate the heating circuit. When the heat exchanger 12 provides too much heat, causing the temperature of the air-conditioning circuit to be too high, the full-throttle valve 11 can be appropriately opened so that part of the refrigerant in the air-conditioning circuit does not pass through the heat exchanger 12, thereby reducing the heat obtained by the refrigerant in the air-conditioning circuit from the heat exchanger 12, so as to reduce the temperature in the passenger compartment to the target heating temperature.

[0100] In summary, this embodiment obtains the target operating state of the air conditioning circuit; when the target operating state is the heating state, the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is obtained; when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the stagnant state, the air compressor stagnation heating sub-circuit is controlled to operate; when the actual working state of the air compressor 16 is the operating state, the air compressor operation heating sub-circuit is controlled to operate. It can be seen that this embodiment uses the heat exchanger 12 to recover the heat generated by the air compressor 16. When the air conditioning circuit needs to use the heat generated by the air compressor 16, the refrigerant in the air conditioning circuit flows through the heat exchanger 12 to improve the utilization rate of the heat of the air compressor 16, while reducing the consumption of on-board electric energy during the heating process of the air conditioning circuit, thereby increasing the vehicle's cruising range. This embodiment couples the air compressor 16 with the air conditioning circuit, effectively utilizes the waste heat of compressed air, improves the heating comfort of the passenger compartment, reduces the energy consumption of the entire vehicle, and thereby increases the cruising range of the vehicle at low temperatures.
