[0053] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0054] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0055] The main solutions of the embodiments of this application are:

[0056] Since the existing technology has low cooling demand in spring and autumn, and when operating under other low-load conditions, even if the compressor is running at the lowest speed, the actual evaporator temperature is still much lower than the target evaporator temperature. At this time, in order to meet the comfort of the passenger compartment, the air passing through the evaporator needs to be heated to meet the needs of the passenger compartment. However, at this time, the compressor is cooling, and the air conditioning thermal management system with a heat pump function can only run one working mode at the same time, and the heat pump mode cannot be turned on at this time. Heating can only be performed through PTC. The energy consumption of PTC is high, which will reduce the vehicle's endurance.

[0057] The present application provides a solution, which controls the temperature of the air outlet based on the temperature difference between the actual temperature and the target temperature of the air outlet through the heat source of the heating circuit and by adjusting the opening of the temperature damper, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature inside the vehicle and reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle while ensuring the comfort inside the vehicle.

[0058] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, an electric vehicle thermal management control device, etc. The following takes the electric vehicle thermal management control device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0059] Based on this, the present application embodiment provides a thermal management control method for an electric vehicle, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the thermal management control method for an electric vehicle of the present application.

[0060] In this embodiment, the electric vehicle thermal management control method is applied to a vehicle air conditioning controller, which includes a refrigeration circuit and a heating circuit. The refrigeration circuit includes an outdoor heat exchanger, a water-cooled heat exchanger, a compressor and a plurality of throttle valves. The throttle valves are used to control the refrigerant flow through the outdoor heat exchanger, the evaporator and the refrigerator respectively. The heating circuit includes a plurality of proportional three-way valves, which are used to adjust the heat source from the water-cooled heat exchanger to the heating circuit. For specific schematic diagrams, please refer to Figure 2 , the method comprises steps S10 to S50:

[0061] Step S10: When the vehicle air conditioning controller is in cooling mode, obtain the ambient temperature, the temperature inside the vehicle, the sunlight radiation value and the set temperature.

[0062] It should be noted that the application scenario of the present application is usually when the cooling demand is not high, but the cooling mode of the vehicle air-conditioning controller makes the temperature inside the vehicle too low, making the comfort level of the passengers inside the vehicle not high.

[0063] In addition, the ambient temperature refers to the air temperature outside the car. The ambient temperature has a direct impact on the energy demand inside the car because it determines how much work the air conditioning system needs to do to achieve the set temperature inside the car. For example, on a hot summer day, the ambient temperature is higher and the air conditioning system needs more energy to cool the interior space.

[0064] In addition, the interior temperature refers to the actual temperature inside the car. The interior temperature is the core input quantity of the closed-loop control of the automatic air-conditioning system, which directly affects the comfort of the passengers and the control response of the air-conditioning system.

[0065] In addition, the sunlight radiation value refers to the intensity of sunlight shining on the car. The sunlight radiation value will affect the temperature inside the car, especially in summer, when direct sunlight can cause the temperature inside the car to rise rapidly, thereby increasing the load on the air-conditioning system.

[0066] In addition, the set temperature refers to the ideal in-car temperature set by the user. The set temperature is the working target of the air-conditioning system. The system will adjust the working state of the air-conditioning according to the difference between the set temperature and the current in-car temperature to meet the comfort needs of the passengers.

[0067] Step S20: obtaining an air outlet target temperature according to the ambient temperature, the vehicle interior temperature, the sunlight radiation value and the set temperature.

[0068] It should be noted that the in-vehicle energy demand value can be first obtained according to the ambient temperature, the in-vehicle temperature, the sunlight radiation value, the set temperature, the temperature influence coefficient and the in-vehicle energy demand value offset, and then the air outlet target temperature is obtained by looking up the table according to the in-vehicle energy demand value, that is, the temperature influence coefficient and the in-vehicle energy demand value offset are obtained; the in-vehicle energy demand value (EnergyReq) is obtained according to the temperature influence coefficient, the in-vehicle energy demand value offset, the ambient temperature, the in-vehicle temperature, the sunlight radiation value and the set temperature; and the air outlet target temperature is obtained based on the in-vehicle energy demand value.

[0069] In addition, the temperature influence coefficient is a proportional coefficient used to adjust the influence of each parameter on the total energy demand value, which can usually include K1, K2, K3 and K4. The in-vehicle energy demand value offset usually refers to a baseline energy demand value used to calibrate or adjust the calculation results to adapt to specific vehicle or environmental conditions.

[0070] In addition, the in-vehicle energy demand value is usually an indicator that measures the energy required by the in-vehicle air conditioning or heating system, which reflects the energy required to maintain the set temperature in the vehicle. This demand value is usually calculated by the vehicle's thermal management system based on the current vehicle internal and external environmental conditions to ensure the comfort of the in-vehicle temperature and the satisfaction of the passengers.

[0071] In addition, the calculation process of the in-vehicle energy demand value is EnergyReq = in-vehicle energy demand value offset + (light temperature × K1) + (set temperature × K2) + (ambient temperature × K3) + (set temperature - in-vehicle temperature) × K4. It can be understood that each item in the above calculation process reflects different factors affecting the in-vehicle energy demand. For example, if the main driver's light temperature is very high, the air conditioning system needs more energy to reduce the in-vehicle temperature so that the occupants feel comfortable. Similarly, if the ambient temperature is very high, the air conditioning system also needs more energy to maintain the set in-vehicle temperature. The greater the difference between the main driver's set temperature and the in-vehicle temperature, the more work the air conditioning system needs to do to reach the set temperature. Therefore, K4 will multiply this difference to adjust the total energy demand. In addition, the K1, K2, K3, and K4 coefficients in the above calculation process need to be determined based on actual vehicle performance and test data. These coefficients may vary due to factors such as vehicle design, thermal insulation performance of the passenger compartment, and efficiency of the air conditioning system.

[0072] Specifically, the process of obtaining the target air outlet temperature based on the in-vehicle energy demand table is usually to consult relevant standards or technical documents based on the calculated energy demand value. These documents may contain target air outlet temperatures corresponding to different energy demand values, thereby obtaining the target air outlet temperature.

[0073] In addition, the target air outlet temperature refers to the target temperature of the air at the air outlet when the air conditioning system is running. This target value is usually set by the user through the air conditioning control panel. It indicates the temperature conditions that the air conditioning system needs to reach in order to provide a comfortable environment in the car.

[0074] Step S30: adjusting the evaporator temperature by controlling the refrigeration circuit, thereby controlling the actual air outlet temperature.

[0075] It should be noted that the refrigeration circuit is controlled to adjust the evaporator temperature mainly by fully opening the first throttle valve, and controlling the refrigerant flow entering the evaporator and the refrigerator by adjusting the opening of the second throttle valve and the third throttle valve; the refrigerant flow is made to flow through the compressor, the water-cooled heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger, the second throttle valve and the evaporator in sequence; thereby adjusting the evaporator temperature and further controlling the actual outlet temperature.

[0076] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , fully open the electronic expansion valve 1, and adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve 2 and the electronic expansion valve 3 to adjust the refrigerant flow entering the evaporator and the refrigerator Chiller 1 respectively, so as to achieve the cooling of the car and the battery. Specifically: after the refrigerant passes through the compressor, it is a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. After flowing through the water-cooled heat exchanger, the temperature of the water-cooled heat exchanger will increase; after flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger, it becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid; after flowing through the electronic expansion valve 2, it is throttled and reduced in pressure to become a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid, and absorbs heat in the evaporator to become a gas, thereby reducing the evaporator temperature, and then controlling the actual temperature of the air outlet to decrease, thereby cooling the car.

[0077] In addition, the electronic expansion valve is an advanced throttling valve, mainly used in refrigeration equipment to accurately control the refrigerant flow entering the evaporator. Compared with traditional throttling elements (such as capillary tubes, thermal expansion valves, etc.), it can better meet the requirements of comfort and energy saving in occasions with drastic load changes or a wide range of operating conditions. The electronic expansion valve has a fast response speed and can complete the adjustment from fully open to fully closed in a very short time to adapt to the rapid changes in system load.

[0078] In addition, the refrigeration circuit is a key component in the refrigeration system. It refers to the path of the refrigerant circulating in the system. This cycle usually includes four basic processes: compression, condensation, throttling and evaporation. The purpose of the refrigeration circuit is to transfer heat from one place (such as inside the car) to another place (such as outside the car) to achieve a cooling effect.

[0079] In addition, refrigerant is a substance used to absorb and release heat through phase change in the refrigeration system. It absorbs heat in the evaporator, cools the fluid (such as air or water), and then releases heat in the condenser, achieving a refrigeration effect through this cycle.

[0080] In addition, the compressor is the heart of the refrigeration system, responsible for compressing low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor, increasing its pressure and temperature, and is responsible for sucking and compressing the refrigerant vapor in the evaporator into high-pressure hot steam to provide power for the refrigerant cycle. According to the working principle, compressors can be divided into reciprocating, rotary, screw, centrifugal and other types.

[0081] In addition, the evaporator is a key heat exchange device in the refrigeration system. Its function is to make the refrigerant absorb the heat of the cooled medium (such as air or water) and evaporate. In the evaporator, the low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid evaporates into steam by absorbing heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the medium flowing through the evaporator. The evaporator can be a direct evaporation type or an indirect evaporation type, such as the shell and tube evaporator used in the cooling water system.

[0082] In addition, a chiller is a device used to generate and maintain a low temperature environment. It is widely used in industrial, commercial and residential fields to provide cooling effects. Its working principle is based on the circulation of refrigerant. Through the processes of compression, condensation, throttling and evaporation, heat is transferred from a low temperature environment to a high temperature environment, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling.

[0083] In addition, a water-cooled heat exchanger is a heat exchange device that uses water as a cooling medium. It can be a condenser or an evaporator. In a water-cooled condenser, high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor is cooled into liquid, and the released heat is absorbed and carried away by water; in a water-cooled evaporator, the refrigerant evaporates in it, absorbing heat from the water and causing the water temperature to drop.

[0084] In addition, the outdoor heat exchanger is an important part of the vehicle air conditioning system. It is mainly responsible for cooling and condensing the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas generated by the compressor into high-pressure liquid in the refrigeration cycle. The actual outlet temperature refers to the actual temperature of the air at the outlet of the automobile air conditioning system. It is one of the key parameters to measure the performance of the air conditioning system and directly affects the comfort of passengers.

[0085] Step S40: obtaining a temperature difference between the actual air outlet temperature and the target air outlet temperature.

[0086] It should be noted that the temperature difference between the actual outlet temperature and the target outlet temperature is an absolute value, which lays a solid foundation for the subsequent steps.

[0087] Step S50: When the temperature difference is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the temperature of the air outlet is controlled by the heat source of the heating circuit and by adjusting the opening of the temperature damper.

[0088] It should be noted that the preset temperature threshold is usually set by the user according to his or her own needs and habits. Specifically, when the temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, it can be determined that the user is relatively satisfied with the temperature inside the car, making the passengers in the car feel more comfortable.

[0089] In addition, the heat source of the heating circuit can usually be divided into PTC and water-cooled heat exchanger, which can be referred to Figure 2 , the electric vehicle thermal management control device will switch the PTC or water-cooled heat exchanger to the heating circuit according to demand to provide a heat source.

[0090] In addition, the temperature damper is a component used in the car air conditioning system, and its main function is to adjust the temperature of the air. It mixes the cold and hot air by controlling the opening degree of the damper, thereby adjusting the temperature of the air outlet.

[0091] In addition, when the opening of the temperature damper is adjusted to the full cold position, the temperature damper will block the air heated by the heat source, so that the air passing through the evaporator can flow directly to the air outlet, and the air flowing to the air outlet is cold air; when the opening of the temperature damper is adjusted to the full hot position, the temperature damper will block the air flowing out of the evaporator and make it all flow to the heat source for heating, so that the air flowing to the air outlet is hot air; when the opening of the temperature damper is adjusted to the cold and hot mixed position, the temperature damper will control part of the air to flow through the heat source for heating, and part of the air not to flow through the heat source for heating, so that the air at the air outlet is a mixture of cold and hot air. Furthermore, the ratio of cold and hot air can be controlled by more finely adjusting the opening of the temperature damper, so that the temperature of the air outlet can be more accurately controlled by adjusting the opening of the temperature damper.

[0092] It can be understood that when the temperature difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, that is, the user is very satisfied with the actual temperature in the car and the temperature comfort level in the car is high, the temperature damper opening and the air outlet temperature are kept unchanged.

[0093] This embodiment provides a thermal management control method for an electric vehicle. When the vehicle air conditioning controller is in cooling mode, the ambient temperature, the temperature inside the vehicle, the sunlight radiation value, and the set temperature are obtained; the target temperature of the air outlet is obtained according to the ambient temperature, the temperature inside the vehicle, the sunlight radiation value, and the set temperature; the evaporator temperature is adjusted by controlling the refrigeration circuit to control the actual temperature of the air outlet; the temperature difference between the actual temperature of the air outlet and the target temperature of the air outlet is obtained; when the temperature difference is greater than a preset temperature threshold, the temperature of the air outlet is controlled by the heat source of the heating circuit and the opening of the temperature damper. Based on the temperature difference between the actual temperature of the air outlet and the target temperature, the temperature of the air outlet is controlled by the heat source of the heating circuit and the opening of the temperature damper, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature inside the vehicle, and reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle while ensuring the comfort inside the vehicle.

[0094] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 3 , step S20 includes steps S201 to S203:

[0095] Step S201: when the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature threshold, determine the compressor speed.

[0096] It should be noted that the speed of the compressor can reflect the heating demand. It is understandable that if the compressor speed is low, it may be that the user has adjusted the air conditioning system to energy-saving mode.

[0097] Step S202: If the compressor speed is lower than the preset speed threshold, open the first and second ends of the first proportional three-way valve, the first and second ends of the second proportional three-way valve, and the first and second ends of the third proportional three-way valve, so as to control the water-cooled heat exchanger to the heating circuit and mix the air at the air outlet.

[0098] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 2 The proportional three-way valve includes a first proportional three-way valve, a second proportional three-way valve and a third proportional three-way valve, the first end of the first proportional three-way valve is connected in series with the first end of the third proportional three-way valve, the first end of the second proportional three-way valve is connected in series with the second end of the third proportional three-way valve, and the second end of the first proportional three-way valve and the second end of the second proportional three-way valve are respectively connected to the water-cooled heat exchanger.

[0099] In addition, if the compressor speed is lower than the preset speed threshold, that is, the compressor speed is low, it may be because the temperature inside the vehicle has approached or reached the set comfort temperature, so the air conditioning system does not need to run at high power to provide additional heat. In addition, since the temperature of the water-cooled heat exchanger is high during cooling, the water-cooled heat exchanger can be controlled to the heating circuit to provide a heat source. For details, please refer to Figure 2 , respectively open the 1st and 2nd interfaces of the proportional three-way valve 1, the 1st and 2nd interfaces of the proportional three-way valve 2, and the 1st and 2nd interfaces of the proportional three-way valve 3, thereby controlling the water-cooled heat exchanger to the heating circuit, and providing a heat source for the thermal management control equipment of the electric vehicle, and then mixing the air at the air outlet.

[0100] It can be understood that this method of switching the water-cooled heat exchanger to the heating circuit to provide a heat source reduces the energy consumption of the vehicle.

[0101] In addition, the water-cooled heat exchanger is connected in parallel with a positive temperature coefficient thermistor, and the third end of the first proportional three-way valve and the third end of the second proportional three-way valve are respectively connected to the positive temperature coefficient thermistor; if it is detected that the heating demand is higher than the preset demand threshold, the second end of the first proportional three-way valve and the second end of the second proportional three-way valve are closed, and the third end of the first proportional three-way valve and the third end of the second proportional three-way valve are opened, thereby switching the positive temperature coefficient thermistor to the heating circuit and mixing the air at the air outlet.

[0102] In addition, when the heating demand is higher than the preset demand threshold, that is, when the heat of the water-cooled heat exchanger is not enough to meet the required heating demand, the 2nd interface of the proportional three-way valve 1 and the 2nd interface of the proportional three-way valve 2 are closed, and the 3rd interface of the proportional three-way valve 1 and the 3rd interface of the proportional three-way valve 2 are opened respectively, so as to switch the PTC to the heating circuit to provide a higher heat source, and then mix the air at the air outlet. For details, please refer to Figure 2 .

[0103] Step S203: Based on the temperature difference, adjusting the opening of the temperature damper to adjust the temperature of the air outlet, so that the temperature difference between the adjusted air outlet temperature and the air outlet target temperature reaches within the preset range.

[0104] It should be noted that the target opening of the temperature damper can be obtained based on the temperature difference, and then the opening of the temperature damper can be adjusted to adjust the mixed air ratio, so as to more accurately control the temperature of the air outlet, so that the temperature difference between the adjusted air outlet temperature and the air outlet target temperature reaches within the preset range, that is, the effect of passengers in the car still feeling a comfortable temperature is achieved.

[0105] In this embodiment, when the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature threshold, the compressor speed is judged; if the compressor speed is lower than the preset speed threshold, the first end and the second end of the first proportional three-way valve, the first end and the second end of the second proportional three-way valve, and the first end and the second end of the third proportional three-way valve are opened, so as to control the water-cooled heat exchanger to the heating circuit and mix the air at the air outlet; based on the temperature difference, the opening of the temperature damper is adjusted to adjust the temperature of the air outlet, so that the temperature difference between the adjusted air outlet temperature and the air outlet target temperature is within the preset range. The technical effect of reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle while ensuring the comfort inside the vehicle is achieved.

[0106] Based on the first and second embodiments of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the first and second embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 4 , step S203 may further include steps S21 to S23:

[0107] Step S21: Obtain the temperature difference value of the current cycle, the temperature difference value of the previous cycle, and the temperature difference value of the cycle before that.

[0108] It should be noted that the purpose of obtaining the temperature difference of the current cycle, the temperature difference of the previous cycle, and the temperature difference of the previous cycle is to subsequently obtain the temperature damper target opening through a PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) algorithm.

[0109] Step S22: Obtain proportional parameters, integral parameters and differential parameters.

[0110] It should be noted that the proportional parameter is the proportional gain Kp in the PID algorithm; the integral parameter is the integral gain Ki in the PID algorithm; and the differential parameter is the differential gain Kd in the PID algorithm.

[0111] Step S23: adjusting the opening of the temperature damper based on the temperature difference of the current cycle, the temperature difference of the previous cycle, the temperature difference of the previous cycle, the proportional parameter, the integral parameter and the differential parameter.

[0112] Specifically, the calculation process of the target opening Pos_Set of the temperature damper is obtained by the PID algorithm formula, that is, Pos_Set = Pos_Current + Kp (ΔT(k) - ΔT(k-1)) + Ki*ΔT(k) + Kd (ΔT(k) - 2*ΔT(k-1) + ΔT(k-2)), wherein Pos_Current is the current opening of the temperature damper, ΔT(k) is the temperature difference when sampling in this cycle, ΔT(k-1) is the temperature difference when sampling in the previous cycle, and ΔT(k-2) is the temperature difference when sampling in the previous cycle. When the target opening of the temperature damper is obtained, the opening of the temperature damper can be adjusted according to the target opening to control the outlet temperature.

[0113] This embodiment obtains the temperature difference of the current cycle, the temperature difference of the previous cycle, and the temperature difference of the previous cycle; obtains the proportional parameter, integral parameter, and differential parameter; adjusts the opening of the temperature damper based on the temperature difference of the current cycle, the temperature difference of the previous cycle, the temperature difference of the previous cycle, the proportional parameter, the integral parameter, and the differential parameter. The target opening of the temperature damper is obtained based on the PID algorithm, thereby achieving the technical effect of more accurately controlling the outlet temperature while reducing data errors.
