DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] The embodiments of the present application solve the technical problem in the prior art that heat from a vehicle computer is directly lost, resulting in low heat utilization rate, by providing a heat recovery system, method, device, equipment and medium.

[0063] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0064] This embodiment 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 second sub-circuit are controlled to operate; when the target operating state is the heating state, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, or the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are controlled to operate. It can be seen that this embodiment realizes the heat exchange between the air conditioning circuit and the heat dissipation circuit of the vehicle system through the water-cooled condenser 8, and recovers the heat of the vehicle system 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 vehicle system, that is, improving the utilization rate of the heat generated by the vehicle system during operation, realizing the effective utilization of the residual heat of the vehicle, improving the heating comfort of the passenger compartment, reducing the power consumption of the whole vehicle, and thus improving the cruising range of the car at low temperatures. In the cooling state, the cooling effect of the heat of the vehicle system on the air conditioning circuit is reduced, and the heat of the vehicle system is mainly dissipated by the radiator, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment using the vehicle power supply as much as possible and extend the cruising time of the vehicle power supply.

[0065] 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] With the continuous development of science and technology, the degree of intelligence of automobiles is getting higher and higher. For example, in addition to supporting traditional radio functions, music and video playback functions, and navigation functions, the in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI) of automobiles also supports more functional navigation, multimedia playback, Bluetooth connection, vehicle settings, voice control operation, in-vehicle interconnection, etc.

[0068] The specific functions that the vehicle system can achieve include: providing real-time navigation, map display, route planning and other functions, helping users find their destinations and providing navigation guidance, supporting audio and video playback, including listening to the radio, playing music, watching videos, etc. Through Bluetooth technology, drivers and passengers can connect mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices to achieve functions such as hands-free calls, music playback and message reading. Provide various settings and adjustments for the vehicle, such as air conditioning, seat heating, vehicle driving mode, etc. Support voice recognition technology, allowing drivers to control and operate the IVI system through voice commands to improve safety and convenience. Support connection to the Internet, allowing drivers and passengers to obtain real-time traffic information, weather forecasts, online music and applications, etc.

[0069] However, the more powerful the car system is, the higher the heat it generates when it is working. This heat is usually directly lost, resulting in low heat utilization. Therefore, how to improve the utilization rate of the heat generated by the car system during operation is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0070] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment provides Figure 1 A heat recovery system is shown, the system includes a controller (not shown in Figure 1 ), the air conditioning circuit and the vehicle system cooling circuit, the air conditioning circuit and the vehicle system cooling circuit are heat exchanged through the water-cooled condenser 8;

[0071] The air conditioning circuit includes a gas-liquid separation tank 1, a compressor 2, a first full-pass stop valve 3, a water-cooled condenser 8, a first electronic expansion valve 6, an evaporator 4, an in-vehicle condenser 5, a second electronic expansion valve 7, and a second full-pass stop valve 9;

[0072] The gas-liquid separation tank 1, the compressor 2, the first full-pass stop valve 3, the water-cooled condenser 8, the first electronic expansion valve 6, the evaporator 4, and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 are sequentially connected to form a refrigeration sub-circuit;

[0073] The gas-liquid separation tank 1, the compressor 2, the in-vehicle condenser 5, the second electronic expansion valve 7, the water-cooled condenser 8, the second full-pass stop valve 9, and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 are sequentially connected to form a heating sub-circuit;

[0074] The vehicle system heat dissipation circuit includes an electronic water pump 10, a water-cooled condenser 8, a vehicle system water-cooling component 14, a three-way proportional valve 13 and a water-cooled radiator 12; wherein the vehicle system water-cooling component 14 refers to a water pipe covering the surface of the vehicle system.

[0075] The electronic water pump 10, the water-cooled condenser 8, the vehicle system water-cooling component 14, the first port A of the three-way proportional valve 13, the third port C of the three-way proportional valve 13 and the electronic water pump 10 are sequentially connected to form a first sub-circuit;

[0076] The electronic water pump 10, the water-cooled condenser 8, the vehicle system water-cooling component 14, the first port A of the three-way proportional valve 13, the second port B of the three-way proportional valve 13, the water-cooled radiator 12 and the electronic water pump 10 are sequentially connected to form a second sub-loop.

[0077] 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 sensor T for measuring the temperature of the cooling circuit of the vehicle system. The relevant sensors can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] The controller is electrically connected to the refrigeration sub-circuit, the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit, and the second sub-circuit respectively.

[0079] Specifically, the controller is electrically connected to the following devices respectively:

[0080] The first full-pass stop valve 3, the first electronic expansion valve 6, the second electronic expansion valve 7, the second full-pass stop valve 9, the electronic water pump 10, the fan 11, the three-way proportional valve 13, PT1, PT2, T and other electronic control devices.

[0081] This embodiment couples the air conditioning circuit and the vehicle system heat dissipation circuit through a water-cooled condenser, so that the air conditioning circuit can recover the heat of the vehicle system heat dissipation circuit in the heating state, thereby improving the heat utilization rate of the vehicle system, reducing vehicle energy consumption, and extending the vehicle driving mileage.

[0082] Based on the same inventive concept, this embodiment provides Figure 2A 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.

[0083] Step S21, obtaining the target operating state of the air conditioning circuit;

[0084] Step S22, when the target operating state is the cooling state, controlling the cooling sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit to operate;

[0085] Step S23, when the target operation state is the heating state, controlling the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit to operate, or controlling the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit to operate.

[0086] 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.

[0087] Regarding step S21 , the target operating state of the air-conditioning circuit is acquired.

[0088] 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.

[0089] When the target operating state is a non-operating state, it means that the heat generated by the vehicle system can only be dissipated, so the second sub-loop needs to be controlled to operate. Figure 1 As shown, the first port A and the second port B of the three-way proportional valve 13 are controlled to be connected, the first port A and the third port C of the three-way proportional valve 13 are controlled to be closed, and the water-cooled radiator 12 is controlled to operate so that the second sub-circuit is in a conducting state, so as to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation of the vehicle system and ensure that the vehicle system operates at a suitable temperature.

[0090] 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.

[0091] Regarding step S22, when the target operation state is the cooling state, the cooling sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are controlled to operate.

[0092] When the target operating state is the cooling state, the cooling sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are controlled to operate. Figure 1 The following description is given.

[0093] The second electronic expansion valve 7 and the second full-pass stop valve 9 are controlled to be closed, and the first full-pass stop valve 3 and the first electronic expansion valve 6 are controlled to be turned on, so that the refrigeration sub-circuit is in a conducting state. In other words, the cold air generated by the compressor 2 will pass through the first full-pass stop valve 3, the water-cooled condenser 8, the first electronic expansion valve 6, the evaporator 4, and the gas-liquid separation tank 1 in sequence, and then deliver cold air to the passenger cabin space corresponding to the air-conditioning circuit to achieve the purpose of refrigeration.

[0094] In the cooling state, it means that the heat generated by the vehicle system can only be lost and cannot be used for cooling the air conditioning circuit. Therefore, it is necessary to control the operation of the second sub-circuit, such as Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the first port A and the second port B of the three-way proportional valve 13 are controlled to be connected, the first port A and the third port C of the three-way proportional valve 13 are controlled to be closed, and the water-cooled radiator 12 is controlled to operate so that the second sub-circuit is in a conducting state, so as to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation of the vehicle system, ensure that the vehicle system operates at a suitable temperature, reduce the negative impact of the water-cooled condenser on the refrigeration sub-circuit, minimize the refrigeration energy consumption of the refrigeration sub-circuit, and improve the utilization rate of vehicle-mounted power.

[0095] Regarding step S23, when the target operation state is the heating state, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, or the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are controlled to operate.

[0096] When the target operation state is the heating state, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit can be controlled to operate, or the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit can be controlled to operate. Both methods can transfer the heat generated by the vehicle system to the air-conditioning circuit through the water-cooled condenser, so that the heat of the vehicle system can be recycled and used by the air-conditioning circuit, thereby improving the utilization rate of the heat generated by the vehicle system.

[0097] Specifically, step S23 may include steps S231 to S233.

[0098] Step S231, when the target operating state is the heating state, monitor the target heating temperature corresponding to the air-conditioning circuit and the actual operating temperature corresponding to the cooling circuit of the vehicle system.

[0099] 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 coolant in the cooling circuit of the vehicle system. 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. The actual operating temperature changes in real time according to the operating load of the vehicle system, and the real-time operating temperature can be collected at a preset frequency, for example, the actual operating temperature is updated every 1 minute.

[0100] 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 vehicle heat recovery is necessary. The specific value can be set according to the actual situation, for example, it can be 15°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.

[0101] 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, and the first heating power of the heating sub-circuit is determined according to the actual space temperature of the passenger compartment space (space to be heated) corresponding to the heating sub-circuit and the target heating temperature; the first preset threshold is less than the target heating temperature.

[0102] When the actual operating temperature is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it means that the heat generated by the vehicle computer is not much, and the air conditioning heating cannot be achieved by relying on the heat of the vehicle computer. Therefore, it is necessary to control the operation of the heating sub-circuit. In this case, the air-conditioning equipment can only determine the first heating power of the heating sub-circuit according to the actual space temperature of the passenger compartment space corresponding to the heating sub-circuit and the target heating temperature. The air-conditioning equipment controls the heating sub-circuit to work according to the first heating power, so that the actual space temperature of the passenger compartment space approaches the target heating temperature, or the actual space temperature is equal to the target heating temperature. Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the second electronic expansion valve 7 and the second full-pass stop valve 9 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.

[0103] When the actual operating temperature is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it may be that the vehicle has just started and the temperature of the vehicle system heat dissipation circuit has not increased. However, as the vehicle runs longer, the actual operating temperature will become higher and higher. In order to speed up the increase of the actual operating temperature, the water-cooled radiator 12 can be prevented from cooling the vehicle system heat dissipation circuit. Specifically, the first sub-circuit is controlled to operate, that is, the first port A and the second port B of the three-way proportional valve 13 are controlled to be closed, the first port A and the third port C of the three-way proportional valve 13 are controlled to be conductive, and the water-cooled radiator 12 is controlled to be shut down, so that the first sub-circuit is in a conductive state.

[0104] 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, or the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are controlled to operate, 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.

[0105] As time goes by, the actual operating temperature will gradually exceed the first preset threshold. When the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold, it means that the heat generated by the vehicle system is already large and can be recovered by the air conditioning circuit. At this time, the heating sub-circuit can be controlled to continue working, 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 to heat the passenger compartment space.

[0106] When the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold, it is necessary to determine the relationship between the actual operating temperature and the target heating temperature, which is used to determine the effectiveness of heat recovery of the vehicle system on the one hand, and to adjust the second heating power of the heating sub-circuit in real time on the other hand. The process specifically includes steps S2331-S2333.

[0107] Step S2331: when the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold 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.

[0108] When the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold but less than or equal to the target heating temperature, it means that the heat of the vehicle system can be completely recovered by the air-conditioning circuit, and will not cause overtemperature to the air-conditioning circuit. At the same time, the air-conditioning equipment is required to use an additional amount of heat to make the passenger compartment space reach the target heating temperature.

[0109] It should be noted that a portion of the heat in the cooling circuit of the vehicle system will be lost in the water cooling pipe. Therefore, the total heat of the vehicle system mentioned above does not include the heat lost in the water cooling pipe. Therefore, when the actual operating temperature is greater than the first preset threshold and the actual operating temperature is less than or equal to the target heating temperature, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit can be controlled to operate.

[0110] Step S2332: 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, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate.

[0111] As time goes by, the actual operating temperature continues to increase. When the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the two is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, it means that the heat generated by the vehicle system can provide most of the heat for the air conditioning circuit, so that the temperature in the passenger compartment reaches the target heating temperature. At this time, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit can be controlled to operate to recover a higher proportion of the heat generated by the vehicle system, which not only reduces the on-board power used by the air conditioning equipment, but also ensures the heating demand of the passenger compartment space on the vehicle, and at the same time can improve the heat recovery rate of the vehicle system. Among them, the second preset threshold can be determined according to the actual needs of the vehicle, for example, it can be 10°C.

[0112] Step S2333: 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 a second preset threshold, the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are controlled to operate.

[0113] When the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, and the difference between the two is greater than the second preset threshold, it means that the heat generated by the vehicle system can basically cover the heat required by the air conditioning circuit, so that the temperature in the passenger compartment reaches the target heating temperature. However, in order to avoid the vehicle system from malfunctioning due to excessive heat generated by the vehicle system, the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit can be controlled to recover a higher proportion of the heat generated by the vehicle system, while ensuring that the water-cooled radiator 12 in the heat dissipation circuit of the vehicle system can take away the excess heat in the circuit, reducing the probability of overheating of the vehicle system. In this way, the heat of the vehicle system basically covers all the energy required for vehicle heating, which not only reduces the on-board electrical energy used by the air conditioning equipment, but also ensures the heating demand of the passenger compartment space on the vehicle, and at the same time can improve the heat recovery rate of the vehicle system.

[0114] Specifically, the operation of the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit is controlled, specifically, the opening between the first port A and the second port B of the three-way proportional valve 13 is controlled to be the first opening, the opening between the first port A and the third port C of the three-way proportional valve 13 is controlled to be the second opening, and the operation of the water-cooled radiator 12 is controlled so that the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are both in a conducting state.

[0115] The first opening and the second opening can be adjusted according to the difference between the target heating temperature and the actual operating temperature. When the actual operating temperature is greater than the target heating temperature, the first opening is greater, the second opening is smaller, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the water-cooled radiator 12 needs to be higher, so that more and faster coolant in the cooling circuit of the vehicle system passes through the water-cooled radiator 12 to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation.

[0116] When the actual operating temperature is less than the target heating temperature, the first opening is smaller, the second opening is larger, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the water-cooled radiator 12 needs to be lower, so that the coolant in the cooling circuit of the vehicle system passes through the water-cooled radiator 12 less and slower, reducing the heat dissipation of the water-cooled radiator 12, so that more heat in the cooling circuit of the vehicle system can be recovered by the air conditioning circuit. The heat dissipation efficiency of the water-cooled radiator 12 can be adjusted by controlling the coolant flow rate inside it or the speed of the fan 11.

[0117] In summary, this embodiment 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 second sub-circuit are controlled to operate; when the target operating state is the heating state, the heating sub-circuit and the first sub-circuit are controlled to operate, or the heating sub-circuit, the first sub-circuit and the second sub-circuit are controlled to operate. It can be seen that this embodiment realizes the heat exchange between the air conditioning circuit and the heat dissipation circuit of the vehicle system through the water-cooled condenser 8, recovers the heat of the vehicle system 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 vehicle system, that is, improving the utilization rate of the heat generated by the vehicle system during operation, realizing the effective utilization of the residual heat of the vehicle, improving the heating comfort of the passenger compartment, reducing the power consumption of the whole vehicle, and thereby improving the cruising range of the car at low temperatures. In the cooling state, the influence of the heat of the vehicle system on the cooling of the air conditioning circuit is reduced, and the heat of the vehicle system is mainly dissipated by the radiator, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioning equipment using the vehicle power supply as much as possible and extend the cruising time of the vehicle power supply.
