[0045] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: when the motor initialization state is the initialization completion state, obtain the current heat pump mode; when the current heat pump mode is the electric drive heat dissipation mode, obtain the current heat dissipation demand; when the current heat dissipation demand is that no heat dissipation demand is required, determine the current temperature requirement according to the current battery data and the passenger compartment data; and control the air intake grille according to the current temperature requirement.

[0048] This application obtains the current heat pump mode when the motor initialization state is the initialization completion state; obtains the current heat dissipation demand when the current heat pump mode is the electric drive heat dissipation mode; determines the current temperature demand based on the current battery data and passenger compartment data when the current heat dissipation demand is no heat dissipation demand; and controls the air intake grille based on the current temperature demand. By determining the current heat pump mode after the initialization is completed, and judging whether there is a heating and cooling demand when the electric drive needs to dissipate heat, and then determining the opening of the corresponding air intake grille according to different heating and cooling demands, precise control of the air intake grille is achieved, and reasonable and effective control of the grille opening is achieved, while reducing the wind resistance of the entire vehicle and meeting the thermal management performance requirements.

[0049] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment may 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 air intake grille control device capable of realizing the above functions, etc. The following takes the air intake grille control device as the execution subject as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0050] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides an air intake grille control method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the air intake grille control method of the present application.

[0051] In this embodiment, the air intake grille control method includes steps S10 to S40:

[0052] Step S10, when the motor initialization state is the initialization completion state, obtaining the current heat pump mode;

[0053] It should be noted that the system schematic diagram corresponding to the control method of the active air intake grille of a pure electric vehicle with a heat pump system in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2As shown in the figure, the PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater is a positive temperature coefficient thermistor. The temperature sensor monitors its surface temperature; the LT RAD (Low Temperature Radiator) is used to cool the liquid in the low temperature circuit; DC / DC converter, OBC (Onboard Charger), MCU (Motor Control Unit): these electronic components also need proper cooling to maintain normal operating temperature.

[0054] It is understandable that the current heat pump modes include charging mode, electric drive over-temperature mode, defrost mode and electric drive heat dissipation mode.

[0055] In a specific implementation, before controlling the opening of the active air intake grille, the motor is initialized and fault diagnosed to determine the motor initialization state, and when the motor initialization state is the initialization completion state, it indicates that the opening of the active air intake grille can be accurately controlled at this time, thereby obtaining the current heat pump mode, that is, any one of the charging mode, electric drive over-temperature mode, defrost mode and electric drive heat dissipation mode.

[0056] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the active air intake grille opening control strategy is to control the grille according to different heat pump modes. Among them, when the current heat pump mode is charging mode, electric drive over-temperature mode or defrost mode, the specific control method of the active air intake grille is: charging state (mode): the air intake grille is fully open, and the charging state has the highest priority; electric drive over-temperature mode: the air intake grille is fully open, and the priority is lower than the charging state; defrost state (mode): the air intake grille is fully closed.

[0057] In a feasible implementation manner, step S10 may include steps A11 to A12:

[0058] Step A11, when it is detected that the stall fault flag is in a set state, initialization is performed according to the stall fault torque to determine the motor initialization state;

[0059] It can be understood that the stall fault torque refers to the torque increased by one gear when a stall fault occurs.

[0060] In a specific implementation, when it is detected that the stall fault flag is in a set state, that is, AGM_Sta_Blockage=1, it indicates that a stall fault occurs in the air intake grille motor, and then the torque is increased by one gear and initialization is performed to determine the motor initialization state.

[0061] Step A12, when it is detected that the overtravel fault flag is in the set state, initialization is performed according to the overtravel fault torque to determine the motor initialization state.

[0062] It can be understood that the over-travel fault torque refers to the torque that is reduced by one gear when the over-travel fault torque occurs.

[0063] In a specific implementation, when it is detected that the overtravel fault flag is in a set state, that is, AGM_Sta_Overtravel=1, it indicates that an overtravel fault occurs in the air intake grille motor, and then the torque is reduced by one gear and initialization is performed to determine the motor initialization state.

[0064] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, when the air intake grille motor is blocked or has an overtravel fault, the motor controller feedback AGM_Sta_Blockage=1; AGM_Sta_Overtravel=1; when the host detects that the air intake grille feedback status AGM_Sta_Blockage or AGM_Sta_Overtravel is set to 1, the motor needs to be reinitialized, and the motor can be controlled normally again after the motor initialization is successful; when the air intake grille feedbacks a blocking fault, that is, AGM_Sta_Blockage=1, the torque is increased by one gear and initialization is performed; when the air intake grille feedbacks an overtravel fault, that is, AGM_Sta_Overtravel=1, the torque is reduced by one gear and initialization is performed.

[0065] Step S20, when the current heat pump mode is the electric drive heat dissipation mode, obtaining the current heat dissipation demand;

[0066] It can be understood that the electric drive heat dissipation mode includes an electric drive heat dissipation required mode and an electric drive no heat dissipation required mode, and the current heat dissipation demand refers to whether the electric drive has a heat dissipation demand.

[0067] In a specific implementation, when the electric drive requires a heat dissipation mode, that is, there is a need for heat dissipation, and the current heat dissipation demand is a need for heat dissipation; when the electric drive does not require a heat dissipation mode, that is, there is no need for heat dissipation, and the current heat dissipation demand is a need for no heat dissipation.

[0068] In a feasible implementation manner, step S20 may include steps A21 to A22:

[0069] Step A21, when the current heat dissipation demand is a heat dissipation demand, obtaining current battery data, passenger compartment data, current vehicle gear position, and electric drive water temperature;

[0070] It should be noted that the current battery data refers to the data associated with the current battery, such as battery temperature and remaining battery power, etc. The passenger compartment data refers to the passenger compartment temperature data, and the current vehicle gear includes P gear (parking gear), N gear (neutral gear), D gear (drive gear) and R gear (reverse gear), etc.

[0071] In a specific implementation, when the current heat dissipation demand is a heat dissipation demand, in order to accurately control the opening of the active air intake grille, the current battery-related data, the passenger compartment temperature data and the current vehicle gear are collected to determine the opening of the active air intake grille based on the above data.

[0072] Step A22, controlling the air intake grille according to at least one of the current battery data, the passenger compartment data, the current vehicle gear position, and the electric drive water temperature.

[0073] In a specific implementation, whether the electric drive needs heat dissipation: if heat dissipation is required, it is determined whether the battery or the passenger compartment is cooled. If so, the air intake grille is related to the compressor exhaust pressure, the water temperature at the motor water outlet, and the vehicle speed, and the correlation coefficient is in the third state; it is determined whether the battery or the passenger compartment is heated by a heat pump. If so, the air intake grille is related to the compressor exhaust pressure, the water temperature at the motor water outlet, and the vehicle speed, and the correlation coefficient is in the fourth state; if there is no demand for either the battery or the passenger compartment and the vehicle is in N gear and the water temperature of the electric drive circuit is less than a certain value C2 (which can be calibrated, and this calibration threshold is less than the electric drive heat dissipation threshold), the active air intake grille is fully closed; if there is no demand for either the battery or the passenger compartment and the vehicle is not in N gear or the water temperature of the electric drive circuit is greater than a certain value C2 (which can be calibrated, and this calibration threshold is less than the electric drive heat dissipation threshold), the active air intake grille is related to the water temperature at the motor water outlet and the vehicle speed, and the correlation coefficient is in the fifth state, wherein the third state, the fourth state, and the fifth state are correlation coefficients under different scenarios, and their specific data can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0074] Step S30, when the current heat dissipation requirement is that no heat dissipation requirement is required, determining the current temperature requirement according to the current battery data and the passenger compartment data;

[0075] It can be understood that the current temperature demand refers to whether there is a demand for heating or cooling.

[0076] In a specific implementation, when the current heat dissipation demand is that no heat dissipation demand is required, it is determined whether there is a need for heating and cooling, and the current battery-related data and the temperature data of the passenger compartment are obtained for analysis. Based on the analysis results, it is determined whether there is a need for heating and cooling, that is, the current temperature demand.

[0077] Step S40: controlling the air intake grille according to the current temperature requirement.

[0078] In a specific implementation, corresponding vehicle data is collected based on whether there is a demand for heating and cooling, and then the opening of the corresponding active air intake grille is determined based on the collected corresponding vehicle data. Finally, the active air intake grille with a heat pump system is controlled based on the determined opening of the active air intake grille.

[0079] In a feasible implementation manner, the air intake grille control method may further include steps S11-S12:

[0080] Step S11, when it is detected that the high voltage flag is in a set state, obtaining the current fan state;

[0081] It can be understood that the current fan state includes a fan shutdown state and a fan working state.

[0082] In a specific implementation, when it is detected that the high-voltage flag is in the set state, it indicates that the active air intake grille needs to be powered off, thereby obtaining the fan shutdown state or the fan working state, that is, the current fan state.

[0083] Step S12, when the current fan state is the fan shutdown state, the air intake grille is powered off according to the current control demand and the preset delay time.

[0084] It can be understood that the current control demand refers to the current demand for controlling the air intake grille, and the preset delay duration refers to the preset delay duration for closing the air intake grille.

[0085] In the specific implementation, the active air intake grille power-off control strategy is: the high voltage disconnection is used as the power-off flag. When the power-off flag is 1 and the fan is shut down, it is closed with a delay according to the current control requirements (the delay time can be calibrated as C1).

[0086] In this embodiment, when the high-voltage flag is detected to be in the set state, the current fan state is obtained; when the current fan state is the fan shutdown state, the air intake grille is powered off according to the current control requirements and the preset delay time. By using the high-voltage disconnection as the power-off flag, when the power-off flag is 1 and the fan is shut down, the power-off is delayed according to the current control requirements, thereby achieving accurate control of the active air intake grille to power off.

[0087] This embodiment obtains the current heat pump mode when the motor initialization state is the initialization completion state; obtains the current heat dissipation demand when the current heat pump mode is the electric drive heat dissipation mode; determines the current temperature demand according to the current battery data and passenger compartment data when the current heat dissipation demand is no heat dissipation demand; and controls the air intake grille according to the current temperature demand. By determining the current heat pump mode after the initialization is completed, and judging whether there is a heating and cooling demand when the electric drive needs to dissipate heat, and then determining the opening of the corresponding air intake grille according to different heating and cooling demands, the air intake grille is precisely controlled, and the reasonable and effective control of the grille opening is achieved, which can reduce the wind resistance of the whole vehicle while meeting the thermal management performance requirements.

[0088] 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 4 , step S40 in the air intake grille control method includes steps S41-S42:

[0089] Step S41, when the current temperature requirement is a cooling or heating requirement, the air intake grille is controlled according to at least one of the current exhaust pressure, the current water temperature, the current vehicle speed, the first opening coefficient, and the second opening coefficient;

[0090] It can be understood that the first opening coefficient and the second opening coefficient are the first state and the second state of the correlation coefficient, respectively, wherein the first state and the second state are correlation coefficients under different scenarios, and their specific data can be set according to actual conditions. This embodiment is not limited to this. The current exhaust pressure refers to the compressor exhaust pressure, and the current water temperature refers to the water temperature at the motor outlet.

[0091] In the specific implementation, when the current temperature demand is for cooling and heating, the opening of the corresponding air intake grille is determined according to the compressor exhaust pressure, the water temperature of the motor outlet, the current vehicle speed, the first opening coefficient and the second opening coefficient, and finally the air intake grille is controlled.

[0092] Step S42, when the current temperature demand is that there is no cooling or heating demand, the air intake grille is controlled according to the waste heat utilization demand.

[0093] It can be understood that the waste heat utilization demand refers to whether there is a demand for waste heat utilization.

[0094] In a specific implementation, if waste heat utilization is required, the active air intake grille is fully closed; if waste heat utilization is not required, the active air intake grille is controlled according to the current vehicle gear and speed.

[0095] In a feasible implementation, step S42 may include steps A421-A422:

[0096] Step A421, when the current temperature requirement is that there is no cooling or heating requirement and the waste heat utilization requirement is that there is a waste heat utilization requirement, controlling the air intake grille to be closed;

[0097] It is understandable that when judging whether the electric drive needs to utilize waste heat (including waste heat to supply batteries or waste heat to heat pumps), if waste heat utilization is required, the air intake grille is actively closed.

[0098] Step A422, when the current temperature requirement is that there is no cooling or heating requirement and the waste heat utilization requirement is that there is no waste heat utilization requirement, the air intake grille is controlled according to the current vehicle gear position and / or the current vehicle speed.

[0099] In the specific implementation, if there is no motor waste heat utilization and the whole vehicle is not in P gear or N gear, the active air intake grille is related to the vehicle speed (look up the table), so that the active air intake grille is controlled according to the current vehicle speed; if there is no motor waste heat utilization and the whole vehicle is in P gear or N gear, the active air intake grille is closed.

[0100] In a feasible implementation, step A422 may include steps B4221-B4222:

[0101] Step B4221, when the current temperature requirement is no cooling or heating requirement and the waste heat utilization requirement is no waste heat utilization requirement and the current vehicle gear position is different from the target vehicle gear position, controlling the air intake grille according to the current vehicle speed;

[0102] It can be understood that the target vehicle gear refers to P gear or N gear. When the current temperature demand is that there is no cooling and heating demand and the waste heat utilization demand is that there is no waste heat utilization demand and the current vehicle gear is different from the target vehicle gear, it indicates that the opening of the corresponding air intake grille is determined according to the vehicle driving speed, and then the corresponding air intake grille opening is determined by looking up the table according to the current vehicle driving speed, and finally the air intake grille is controlled.

[0103] Step B4222, when the current temperature requirement is that there is no cooling or heating requirement and the waste heat utilization requirement is that there is no waste heat utilization requirement and the current vehicle gear is the same as the target vehicle gear, control the air intake grille to close.

[0104] In a specific implementation, when the current temperature demand is that there is no cooling or heating demand and the waste heat utilization demand is that there is no waste heat utilization demand and the current vehicle gear is the same as the target vehicle gear, it indicates that the vehicle is in a parking state, and the air intake grille is controlled to be closed.

[0105] It should be noted that in this embodiment, whether the electric drive needs heat dissipation: if no heat dissipation is needed, determine whether the battery or the passenger compartment is cooled. If so, the air intake grille is related to the compressor exhaust pressure, the water temperature at the motor outlet, and the vehicle speed, and the correlation coefficient is in the first state; determine whether the battery or the passenger compartment is heated by a heat pump. If so, the air intake grille is related to the compressor exhaust pressure, the water temperature at the motor outlet, and the vehicle speed, and the correlation coefficient is in the second state; if there is no cooling or heating demand, determine whether the electric drive needs waste heat utilization (including waste heat for the battery or waste heat for the heat pump). If waste heat utilization is needed, the active air intake grille is completely closed; if there is no motor waste heat utilization and the vehicle is not in P gear or N gear, the active air intake grille is related to the vehicle speed (look up the table); if there is no motor waste heat utilization and the vehicle is in P gear or N gear, the active air intake grille is closed.

[0106] This embodiment controls the air intake grille according to at least one of the current exhaust pressure, the current water temperature, the current vehicle speed, the first opening coefficient, and the second opening coefficient when the current temperature requirement is for cooling and heating; and controls the air intake grille according to the waste heat utilization requirement when the current temperature requirement is for no cooling and heating. By reasonably and effectively controlling the grille opening, the wind resistance of the whole vehicle can be reduced while meeting the thermal management performance requirements.

[0107] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the air intake grille control method of the present application. More simple transformations based on this technical concept are all within the protection scope of the present application.
