On this basis, in the embodiments of the present application, the specific implementation method of the above-mentioned vehicle numbering method is exemplified by taking the vehicle field as an example.

[0041] FIG1(b) is a flow chart of a temperature control method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. A refrigeration control system may be provided by the vehicle, and the refrigeration control system may include at least an electric compressor, a battery electronic expansion valve, and an air conditioning electronic expansion valve. As shown in FIG1(b), the method may include the following steps:

[0042] Step S112, determining the initial rotation speed of the electric compressor at the current moment.

[0043] In the technical solution provided in the above step S112 of the present invention, the above initial rotation speed may be the rotation speed of the electric compressor pump (ECP) at any time in the current operation cycle.

[0044] In this embodiment, the initial speed of the electric compressor at the current moment is determined. Optionally, based on the historical speed of the electric compressor at the historical moment, the embodiment can determine the initial speed of the electric compressor at the current moment according to the historical speed and the target temperature of the coolant at the water inlet of the vehicle's power supply equipment.

[0045] Optionally, the initial speed of the electric compressor at the current moment can be determined based on the acquired historical speed and the target temperature of the coolant at the water inlet of the vehicle's power supply equipment. For example, at least the acquired historical speed and target temperature are input into a trained speed prediction model for prediction, and the initial speed of the electric compressor at the current moment can be obtained.

[0046] Step S114, adjusting the initial speed based on the cooling condition of the vehicle to obtain a target speed.

[0047] In the technical solution provided in the above step S114 of the present invention, the above refrigeration working condition can be used to represent the refrigeration effect to be achieved by the refrigeration equipment of the vehicle and the cooling effect to be achieved by the power supply equipment of the vehicle. For example, the refrigeration effect to be achieved by the refrigeration equipment can be, but not limited to, the cooling temperature to be achieved by the refrigeration equipment is 26°C, and the cooling effect to be achieved by the power supply equipment can be, but not limited to, the cooling temperature to be achieved by the power supply equipment is 35°C, which is only used as an example here and is not specifically limited.

[0048] In this embodiment, the refrigeration device may be an air conditioner of the vehicle, and the power supply device may be a battery, a battery group, or a battery pack of the vehicle, etc. These are merely examples and are not specifically limited.

[0049] In this embodiment, after determining the initial speed of the electric compressor at the current moment, the initial speed is adjusted based on the refrigeration condition of the vehicle to obtain the target speed. Optionally, this embodiment can obtain the refrigeration condition of the vehicle on the basis of determining the initial speed. By dividing the obtained refrigeration conditions in chronological order, the historical refrigeration conditions of the vehicle at historical moments and the current refrigeration conditions of the vehicle at the current moment can be obtained. Based on the above-mentioned historical refrigeration conditions and the above-mentioned current refrigeration conditions, the initial speed of the electric compressor can be adjusted to obtain the target speed of the electric compressor.

[0050] Step S116, while the electric compressor is running at the target speed, determining the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve and the second attribute information of the air conditioner electronic expansion valve.

[0051] In the technical solution provided in step S116 of the present invention, the first attribute information can be used to indicate the first opening of the battery electronic expansion valve (BatEXV) at the target time. The battery electronic expansion valve can be used to control the temperature of the power supply equipment of the vehicle. For example, BatEXV can be used to control the temperature of the battery of the vehicle. This is only an example and is not specifically limited.

The air-conditioning electronic expansion valve can be used to control the temperature of the vehicle's refrigeration equipment. For example, AcEXV can be used to control the temperature of the vehicle's air conditioner. This is only an example and is not specifically limited.

[0053] In this embodiment, the target time may be later than the current time.

[0054] In this embodiment, after adjusting the initial speed based on the refrigeration condition of the vehicle and obtaining the target speed, the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve is determined during the operation of the electric compressor at the target speed. Optionally, based on the target speed, during the operation of the electric compressor at the target speed, the embodiment can determine the first actual superheat of the outlet of the chiller in the refrigeration control system and the target superheat of the outlet of the chiller. Based on the determined first actual superheat and the target superheat, the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve can be determined, that is, the first opening of the battery electronic expansion valve at the target time can be determined.

[0055] In this embodiment, after adjusting the initial speed based on the refrigeration condition of the vehicle and obtaining the target speed, the second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve is determined while the electric compressor is running at the target speed. Optionally, on the basis of obtaining the target speed, the embodiment can determine the actual temperature of the surface of the evaporator in the refrigeration control system while the electric compressor is running at the target speed. Based on the determined actual temperature and the second actual superheat of the outlet of the evaporator, the second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve can be determined, that is, the second opening of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve at the target time can be determined.

[0056] It should be noted that the above method of determining the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve and the second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve during the operation of the electric compressor at the target speed is only for illustrative purposes and is not specifically limited here. As long as the process and method can determine the first opening of the battery electronic expansion valve at the target time and the second opening of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve at the target time during the operation of the electric compressor at the target speed, they are all within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application and will not be described one by one here.

[0057] Step S118, controlling the temperature of the vehicle based on the first attribute information and the second attribute information.

[0058] In the technical solution provided in the above step S118 of the present invention, during the operation of the electric compressor at the target speed, after determining the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve and the second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve, the temperature of the vehicle is controlled based on the first attribute information and the second attribute information. Optionally, based on the determination of the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve and the second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve, the embodiment can control the temperature of the power supply device of the vehicle according to the determined first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve, and can control the temperature of the refrigeration device of the vehicle according to the determined second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve.

[0059] Optionally, the opening of the battery electronic expansion valve is compared with the first opening in the first attribute information to obtain a first comparison result, wherein the first comparison result can be used to indicate the relationship between the opening of the battery electronic expansion valve and the first opening in the first attribute information. According to the obtained first comparison result, the temperature of the power supply device of the vehicle can be controlled, for example, the temperature of the battery of the vehicle can be reduced, which is only used as an example and is not specifically limited.

[0060] Optionally, the opening of the valve of the air conditioner electronic expansion valve is compared with the second opening in the second attribute information to obtain a second comparison result, wherein the second comparison result can be used to indicate the relationship between the opening of the valve of the air conditioner electronic expansion valve and the second opening in the second attribute information. According to the obtained second comparison result, the temperature of the refrigeration equipment of the vehicle can be controlled, for example, the temperature of the air conditioner of the vehicle can be lowered, which is only used as an example and is not specifically limited.

[0061] It should be noted that the vehicle temperature control method in the present application can also be applied to at least the following scenarios: autonomous driving scenario, assisted driving scenario and passive driving scenario (which can be referred to as human driving scenario). Among them, the autonomous driving scenario can be used to indicate that the vehicle control system controls the vehicle driving during the driving process, and the driving object does not need to maintain control and supervision of the driving. The assisted driving scenario can be used to indicate that the vehicle control system provides auxiliary functions during the driving process, but the driving object still needs to maintain control and supervision of the driving. The passive driving scenario can be used to indicate the scenario where the driving object controls the vehicle to complete the driving operation.

[0062] In the artificial intelligence AI driving of autonomous vehicles, commuting mode usually refers to a driving mode designed for commuting or daily commuting. Among them, the AI ​​driving can collect data by learning the user's driving route and driving behavior. When all the learning is completed, the collected data is screened and checked, and then the full segment of data after screening and checking is automatically transmitted back to the cloud server to execute the construction of the cloud map. The next time you drive and choose the same route, the AI ​​driving will be activated, and the vehicle will be driven to the destination of the route according to the constructed cloud map. Among them, matching and complementing the offline map with the constructed cloud map can improve the accuracy of the cloud map.

[0063] In the above steps S112 to S118 of the present application, when controlling the temperature of the vehicle, the initial speed of the electric compressor at the current moment can be determined. According to the refrigeration working condition of the vehicle, the determined initial speed is adjusted to obtain the target speed. In the process of the electric compressor running at the target speed, the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve and the second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve can be determined. According to the determined first attribute information and the second attribute information, the temperature of the vehicle can be controlled.

According to the refrigeration working condition of the vehicle, the determined initial speed is adjusted to obtain the target speed. In the process of the electric compressor running at the target speed, the first attribute information of the battery electronic expansion valve and the second attribute information of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve can be determined. According to the determined first attribute information and the second attribute information, the temperature of the vehicle can be controlled.

[0127] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated below in conjunction with preferred implementation modes.

[0128] At present, for new energy vehicles using liquid-cooled batteries, the battery cooling and passenger compartment air conditioning refrigeration generally share the same compressor. If the battery needs to be cooled and the passenger compartment air conditioning also needs to be cooled, the passenger compartment air conditioning refrigeration is often directly cut off to allow the battery to cool down quickly.

[0129] However, the above-mentioned cut-off method will make it difficult to ensure the temperature of the passenger compartment, thereby causing a technical problem of poor cooling effect of the vehicle.

[0130] However, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a vehicle temperature control method. According to the refrigeration condition of the vehicle, the initial speed of the electric compressor at the current moment is adjusted to obtain a target speed. During the operation of the electric compressor at the target speed, the first opening of the battery electronic expansion valve at the target moment and the second opening of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve at the target moment can be determined, and the temperature of the vehicle can be controlled based on the above-mentioned determined openings, thereby achieving the purpose of taking into account both the cooling effect of the battery and the required temperature of the passenger compartment, thereby solving the technical problem of poor refrigeration effect of the vehicle, and further achieving the technical effect of improving the refrigeration effect of the vehicle.

[0131] In the relevant technology, refrigeration conditions can be divided into the following types:

[0132] Working condition 1: Only the passenger compartment air conditioner has cooling demand: The compressor is usually controlled with the target evaporator temperature (Te) as the control target (some automobile OEMs also use the target air conditioner outlet temperature as the control target. The air temperature and Te are actually strongly correlated during cooling, and the two are essentially the same); the air conditioner electronic expansion valve (AcEXV) is controlled based on the target superheat of the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet, and the battery electronic expansion valve (BatEXV) is closed;

[0133] Condition 2: Only the battery needs cooling: The compressor is usually controlled based on the temperature (Tin) of the coolant at the water inlet of the battery pack; BatEXV is controlled based on the target superheat of the refrigerant at the outlet of Chiller, and AcEXV is closed;

[0134] In working condition three, the battery needs to be cooled, and the air conditioning in the passenger compartment needs to be cooled at the same time. The conventional practice is that the compressor is still controlled according to working condition one to ensure the comfort of the air conditioning in the passenger compartment. Both AcEXV and BatEXV control their own overheating. Obviously, the temperature (Tin) of the coolant at the water inlet of the battery pack is uncontrolled at this time; this method is affected by the size of the cooling demand of the air conditioning in the passenger compartment. When the air conditioning cooling demand is not large, even if the battery electronic expansion valve (BatEXV) is continuously increased due to the large overheating of the Chiller outlet, the temperature (Tin) of the coolant at the water inlet of the battery pack often does not drop to the target water temperature, resulting in poor battery cooling performance. When the air conditioning cooling demand is large, the phenomenon of low Tin will also occur. Tin under this method is in an uncontrolled state, and it is even more impossible to guarantee the cooling capacity when the battery has a large cooling demand.

[0135] It should be noted that for working condition 3, some OEMs directly close the air conditioning electronic expansion valve (AcEXV) during battery supercharging, that is, do not provide air conditioning for the passenger compartment, and the compressor is controlled according to working condition 2; this is to allocate all the cooling capacity to the battery, and more importantly, during supercharging, the compressor stabilizes the temperature (Tin) of the coolant at the water inlet of the battery pack, and the electric compressor (ECP) rotates at a very high speed. If the air conditioning electronic expansion valve (AcEXV) on the passenger compartment air conditioning side does not adopt a special control method for working condition 3, it will cause the evaporator temperature sensor (Te) to drop rapidly or even freeze, so some OEMs directly cut off the air conditioning refrigeration. At this time, there is no air conditioning refrigeration available in the passenger compartment, resulting in poor cooling effect of the vehicle.

[0136] In this embodiment, for the above-mentioned different refrigeration conditions, the temperature of the vehicle's battery and the temperature of the air conditioner can be controlled by the vehicle's refrigeration control system. For example, FIG. 2(a) is a schematic diagram of a refrigeration control system for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the system may include: an electric compressor 201, a condenser 202, a cooling fan 203, an air conditioning electronic expansion valve 204, an evaporator 205, a blower 206, a battery electronic expansion valve 207, a refrigerator 208, a battery pack 209, and an electric water pump 210. Among them, the electric compressor 201 can be connected to the condenser 202, the cooling fan 203 can be installed at the condenser 202, the air conditioning electronic expansion valve 204 can be installed between the condenser 202 and the evaporator 205, the blower 206 can be installed at the evaporator 205, the battery electronic expansion valve 207 can be installed between the condenser 202 and the refrigerator 208, the battery pack 209 can be connected to the refrigerator 208, and the electric water pump 210 can also be connected to the refrigerator 208.

[0137] In this embodiment, in the system shown in FIG. 2(a), the control of the following devices is involved: an electric compressor, an air-conditioning electronic expansion valve, and a battery electronic expansion valve. The electric compressor, the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve, and the battery electronic expansion valve can all be controlled by a thermal management controller (Thermal Management Unit, referred to as TMU). Among them, the TMU generally communicates with the ECP through a local interconnect network (Local Interconnect Network, referred to as LIN) / controller area network (Controller Area Network, referred to as CAN), and directly sends the target speed of the ECP, and the ECP will stabilize its speed near the target speed. The thermal management controller TMU can calculate the target speed of the ECP based on the water temperature Tin control and adopt an incremental PI algorithm, wherein the calculation formula is shown in the following formula (1):

[0138] n_k=n_k-1+△Tin_k*I+(△Tin_k-△Tin_k-1)*P (1)

[0139] Among them, n_k can be used to represent the speed of the electric compressor in this operation cycle (also known as the initial speed), n_k-1 can be used to represent the speed of the electric compressor in the previous operation cycle (also known as the historical speed), the unit is rpm, △Tin_k can be used to represent the △Tin of this operation cycle, △Tin_k-1 can be used to represent the △Tin of the previous operation cycle, the unit is degC. △Tin = actual Tin - target Tin. In order to avoid frequent jitter of △Tin_k due to analog acquisition, it can be rounded with a hysteresis of 0.1 degrees Celsius (degC). The method is as follows:

[0140] Assume: △Tin=△Tin1+△Tin2, △Tin1 can be used to represent the value of △Tin_k with an accuracy of 0.1degC or above, and △Tin2 represents the value of △Tin_k with an accuracy of 0.01degC or below:

[0141] If △Tin2 is greater than the hysteresis interval of (0.3, 0.7) degC, let △Tin_k = △Tin1 + 0.1 degC;

[0142] If △Tin2 is smaller than the hysteresis interval of (0.3, 0.7) degC, let △Tin_k = △Tin1;

[0143] It should be noted that the I in the incremental PI algorithm represents the I value of the incremental PI, in units of rpm / degC, which needs to be obtained based on system test calibration. Since the ECP speed is inversely proportional to Tin, I is a positive value. The P in the incremental PI algorithm represents the P value of the incremental PI, in units of rpm / degC, which needs to be obtained based on system test calibration. Since the ECP speed is inversely proportional to Tin, P is a positive value. The above formula (1) is calculated once in each controller operation cycle. In order to avoid frequent accumulation of △Tin_k*I, the interval time Ti_I of I calculation can be set, that is, △Tin_k*I is calculated once every Ti time interval, and the I calculation in the formula is ignored at other times.

[0144] In this embodiment, the speed of the electric compressor can be quickly adjusted by:

[0145] Method 1: When entering working condition 3 from working condition 1, k1*n_k is directly and slowly superimposed on the current n_k based on test experience. Among them, K1 can be 0.4-0.6 (for example, K1 can be adjusted in combination with the current Tin or △Tin), thereby avoiding the rapid drop of the evaporator temperature sensor (Te) due to the intervention of battery cooling and accelerating the battery cooling speed. It should be noted that the superposition of K1*n_k should be slow, and the actual opening degree of the battery electronic expansion valve (BatExv) should be considered to avoid excessive pressure P0;

[0146] Method 2: When entering working condition 3 from working condition 2, directly and slowly superimpose k2*n_k on the current n_k based on test experience. K2 is generally set to 0.3-0.4 (for example, K2 is adjusted in combination with the current cooling demand of the passenger compartment air conditioner). This can avoid the rapid drop in the coolant temperature (Tin) at the water inlet of the battery pack due to the intervention of air conditioning refrigeration, and can also speed up the cooling speed of the air conditioner. It should be noted that the superposition of K2*n_k should be slow, and the actual opening degree of the air conditioning electronic expansion valve (AcExv) should be considered to avoid causing P0 to be too large.

[0147] Method three, when the refrigeration system is not started and directly enters working condition three, n_k can be directly assigned an initial value, that is, n_k = n_ini is immediately set after entering this working condition, and then the incremental PI closed-loop control is entered. n_ini = n_ini1 + n_ini2, where n_ini1 is obtained by looking up the calibration table according to the cooling demand of the passenger compartment air conditioner, and n_ini2 is obtained by looking up the calibration table according to the temperature (Tin) or △Tin of the coolant at the water inlet of the current battery pack.

[0148] Furthermore, the thermal management controller's speed control of the ECP must also take into account the limitations of the vehicle's noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) on the noise and resonance of the electric compressor, as well as the limitations of the vehicle's electric power on the refrigeration system.

[0149] In this embodiment, based on the rotational speed of the electric compressor, the first opening of the battery electronic expansion valve can be determined, and the opening of the battery electronic expansion valve can be adjusted to the first opening, and the second opening of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve can be determined, and the opening of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve can be adjusted to the second opening.

[0150] The above-mentioned determination of the first opening degree of the battery electronic expansion valve can be completed by the following steps:

[0151] After the activation of working condition three, the electric compressor starts and the cooling power gradually increases. The thermal management controller should first perform initial control on BatEXV to accelerate the establishment of system cooling efficiency:

[0152] In the first Ti_BatExvIni (for example, 60 to 90 seconds) after the activation of the third working condition, that is, the initial control of BatEXV is activated, and after the timing reaches Ti_BatExvIni, the initial control of BatEXV is terminated and the BatEXV closed-loop regulation is entered; however, if the Chiller outlet superheat is less than a certain value (for example, 10 degC to 15 degC) and continues to decrease during the first Ti_BatExvIni period, the TMU will control the exit of the initial control of BatEXV and enter the BatEXV closed-loop regulation, otherwise the superheat may be close to 0, resulting in no superheat;

[0153] During the initial control of BatEXV, TMU should control BatEXV to maintain an opening (that is, a certain number of steps) and keep it still. This number of steps should be obtained by checking the calibration table at the time of entering the initial control. This table should be based on the temperature (Tin) or △Tin of the coolant at the water inlet of the current battery pack to find a starting number of BatEXV steps. For working conditions with large battery cooling requirements, the compressor speed will generally be pulled up to a higher speed in a short time. Correspondingly, the initial number of steps of BatEXV should also be larger to avoid a high P0;

[0154] After entering the closed-loop regulation of BatEXV, the opening of BatEXV is adjusted based on the superheat at the Chiller outlet: first, the actual superheat at the Chiller outlet is calculated as SH_Chiller_Act = Tr1 - the saturated temperature of the refrigerant at the Chiller outlet, where the saturated temperature can be obtained by looking up the "saturated pressure-temperature" table of the refrigerant according to P1; given a fixed target superheat SH_Chiller_Trgt (for example, 5 degC), the superheat difference at the Chiller outlet can be obtained according to the following formula (2):

[0155] △SH_Chiller=SH_Chiller_Act-SH_Chiller_Trgt (2)

[0156] On the basis of obtaining △SH_Chiller, according to the mapping relationship in Table 1 below, Step_BatExvChk can be obtained. Substituting the obtained Step_BatExvChk into the following formula (3), the first opening of the battery electronic expansion valve can be determined:

[0157] Step_k_BatExvChk= Step_k-1_BatExvChk+Step_BatExvChk (3)

[0158] Among them, Step_k_BatExvChk can be used to represent the target opening of BatEXV calculated this time (also known as the current step number of BatEXV), and Step_k-1_BatExvChk can be used to represent the historical opening of BatEXV calculated last time (also known as the historical step number of BatEXV). There is a large hysteresis relationship between the BatEXV opening and SH_Chiller_Act, so the time interval Ti_BatExvChk is set. Every interval Ti_BatExvChk, the Step_k_BatExvChk value is updated according to formula (3). Ti_BatExvChk is generally given as 5s to 15s, and this interval time can be adjusted according to the size of △SH_Chiller.

[0159] The above-mentioned determination of the second opening degree of the air-conditioning electronic expansion valve can be completed by the following steps:

[0160] Under working condition three, due to the large cooling demand on the battery side, according to the method introduced in the above ECP control part, the compressor and refrigerant flow will be controlled very large. At this time, the AcEXV opening should be carefully controlled to avoid the actual superheat SH_Evap_Act at the evaporator outlet being too low; the thermal management controller (TMU) generally controls AcEXV directly through LIN communication or through the stepper motor driver chip to achieve the function of controlling the number of steps of this EXV;

[0161] In this embodiment, the actual temperature of the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet and the saturation temperature of the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet are calculated to obtain the difference between the actual temperature and the saturation temperature. The difference between the actual temperature and the saturation temperature is determined as the second actual superheat at the outlet of the evaporator, that is, SH_Evap_Act = Tr2 - the saturation temperature of the refrigerant at the evaporator outlet;

[0162] When the refrigeration system is normal, the compressor inlet refrigerant pressure (that is, P1) should be around 2bar to 3bar, and the corresponding refrigerant saturation temperature (based on automotive R134a refrigerant) should not be higher than 0.6degC, while the general target Te is above 3degC (in the refrigeration system, Te is slightly lower than Tr2). Therefore, basically, AcExv can be controlled based only on the evaporator temperature sensor (Te) without considering SH_Evap_Act (actual superheat). By adjusting AcEXV, the actual Te is stabilized near the target Te. At this time, while ensuring the air conditioning comfort of the passenger compartment, the phenomenon of low superheat can be avoided, and the problem of low Te and evaporator icing can also be avoided. However, on this basis, a bottom-line insurance still needs to be added, that is, when SH_Evap_Act is less than the hysteresis interval of [2, 5]degC, the superheat is already low at this time, and the AcExv control based on Te should be terminated, and the superheat control of AcExv should be activated;

[0163] After the activation of working condition three, the electric compressor starts and the cooling power gradually increases. The TMU should first perform initial control on AcEXV to accelerate the establishment of the system cooling efficiency and make the temperature sensor (Te) of the evaporator drop rapidly to avoid the algorithm of "controlling AcEXV based on Te" accumulating large control errors when Te is large.

[0164] In the first Ti_AcExvIni (generally 60s to 90s) after the activation of the third working condition, that is, the initial control of AcEXV is activated. After the timing reaches Ti_AcExvIni, the initial control of AcEXV is terminated and the normal regulation of AcEXV is entered; but if the superheat at the outlet of SH_Evap_Act is less than a certain value (for example, 10degC to 15degC) and continues to decrease during the first Ti_AcExvIni, the TMU will control the exit of the initial control of AcEXV and enter the normal regulation of AcEXV, otherwise the superheat may be close to 0, resulting in no superheat;

[0165] During the initial control of AcEXV, TMU shall control AcEXV to maintain an opening (a certain number of steps) and keep it still. This number of steps shall be obtained by looking up the calibration table at the moment of entering the initial control. This table shall realize the query of a starting number of AcEXV steps based on the current Te or △Te, and may also consider conditions such as the temperature in the passenger compartment, the ambient temperature or the light (△Te = target Te-actual Te, the target Te is obtained according to the air conditioning comfort algorithm, generally in the range of 3degC to 12degC);

[0166] After entering the AcEXV control based on Te, the opening of AcEXV is adjusted based on △Te according to the following formula (4):

[0167] Step_k_AcExvChk=Step_k-1_AcExvChk+Step_AcExvChk (4)

[0168] Among them, Step_k_AcExvChk can be used to represent the target opening of AcEXV calculated this time (also known as the current step number of AcEXV), and Step_k-1_AcExvChk can be used to represent the target opening of AcEXV calculated last time (also known as the historical step number of AcEXV). Step_AcExvChk can be obtained by looking up Table 2 below. Its table lookup logic is similar to that of incremental PI, and the method is as follows ("E" in Table 2 can represent Te). There is a large hysteresis relationship between the opening of AcEXV and the temperature of the evaporator, so the time interval Ti_AcExvChk is set. Every interval Ti_AcExvChk, the Step_k_AcExvChk value is updated according to formula (4); Ti_AcExvChk is generally given as 5s to 15s, and this interval time can be adjusted according to the size of △Te.
