The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0026] The following describes the control circuit, air conditioning system, vehicle, method and medium of the electronic expansion valve of the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the problems mentioned in the above background technology center that the control circuit of the air conditioning system cannot effectively adjust and process the control signal, the circuit is prone to reverse flow overload, the transmission is not stable after the signal is amplified, and the low-frequency signal cannot be effectively removed, the present application provides a control circuit of an electronic expansion valve. In this method, the control signal can be boosted and amplified by a signal adjustment circuit, so that the controller can control the electronic expansion valve based on the boosted and amplified control signal, thereby effectively adjusting and processing the control signal to avoid the circuit from being prone to reverse flow overload. As a result, the problem that the circuit of the electronic expansion valve is prone to reverse flow overload in the related technology is solved.

[0027] Specifically, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a control circuit of an electronic expansion valve provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the control circuit 10 of the electronic expansion valve includes: an electronic expansion valve 11 , a signal adjustment circuit 12 and a controller 13 .

[0029] Among them, the signal conditioning circuit 12 is used to boost and amplify the control signal; the controller 13 generates a control signal according to the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant of the vehicle air-conditioning system when it flows into and out of the electronic expansion valve, inputs the control signal into the signal conditioning circuit 12, and controls the electronic expansion valve 13 based on the control signal boosted and amplified by the signal conditioning circuit 12.

[0030] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can boost and amplify the control signal through the signal adjustment circuit 12, so that the controller 13 can control the electronic expansion valve 13 based on the boosted and amplified control signal, thereby being able to effectively adjust and process the control signal to avoid reverse current overload in the circuit.

[0031] It should be noted that the control signal in the embodiment of the present application is an electrical signal, which may be a voltage signal.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the signal conditioning circuit 12 includes: an inductor boost circuit and a signal amplification circuit.

[0033] The inductor boost circuit is used to boost the control signal; and the signal amplification circuit is used to amplify the boosted control signal.

[0034] It can be understood that the signal conditioning circuit 12 of the embodiment of the present application is divided into two parts, one is an inductor boost circuit for boosting the control signal, and the other is a signal amplification circuit for amplifying the boosted control signal. The specific circuit structure is described in the following embodiment.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the inductive boost circuit includes: a first switch, a transformer, a first diode, a second diode, a first transistor, a first resistor, a second resistor, a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected in series with a power supply of the vehicle.

[0036] Among them, the output end of the first switch is connected in parallel with the collector of the first transistor and the first resistor through the transformer, the first resistor is connected in series to the base of the first transistor, the emitter of the first transistor is electrically connected to the power supply, the output end of the transformer is connected in series to the first diode, the first diode is connected in parallel with the first capacitor and the second resistor, the second resistor is connected in parallel with the second diode and the second capacitor, and the transformer is an iron core double-winding transformer with a shielding layer.

[0037] Specifically, the inductor boost circuit is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the inductive boost circuit includes a switch SA connected in series with a power supply, the output end of the switch SA is connected in parallel with the collector of the first transistor VT1 and the first resistor R1 through a grounded protection transformer T, the first resistor R1 is connected in series with the base of the first transistor VT1, the emitter of the first transistor VT1 is electrically connected to the power supply, the output end of the transformer T is connected in series with the first diode D1, the first diode D1 is connected in parallel with the first capacitor C1 and the second resistor R2, and the second resistor R2 is connected in parallel with the second diode D2 and the second capacitor C2.

[0038] The working principle of the inductor boost circuit is as follows: the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor give the processor corresponding sensing data, so that the controller controls the inductor boost circuit to increase the voltage, and the sensing data value of the fluid outflow can be fed back, so as to accurately control the required adjustment voltage. The switch SA in the inductor boost circuit performs boosting work through the transformer T. The first transistor VT1 connected in parallel with the transformer T can amplify the weak signal into an electrical signal with a larger amplitude value, so as to ensure the stable transmission of the electrical signal after boosting. The forward voltage signal at the output end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the base of the first transistor VT1, which will transmit this signal to the emitter and the collector, so that the transistor is in a conducting state. The transformer T transmits the electrical signal to the first diode D1, which can play a unidirectional conductive role to prevent the reverse flow of the power supply. The second diode D2 on the second resistor R2 is actually a voltage stabilizing diode, which can play a role in voltage stabilization. Then, the signal coupling effect is performed through the second capacitor C2, which can avoid the front and rear circuits from interfering with each other during static operation.

[0039] In the inductive boost circuit, power amplification is performed on the base of the first transistor VT1 connected through the first resistor R1 to form a primary boosted voltage, and then the boost operation is performed under the action of the transformer T, thereby reaching the voltage value required by the electrical device. Through the secondary boost operation, the stability of voltage transmission is ensured. At the same time, the first capacitor C1 connected in parallel to the first diode D1 can play a filtering effect, filtering out signals that are not required by the band frequency, thereby retaining the frequency signal required for setting.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the signal amplifying circuit includes: third to fifth capacitors, third to seventh resistors and a second transistor.

[0041] Among them, one end of the third capacitor is connected to the power input terminal of the vehicle, the other end of the third capacitor is connected in parallel with the third resistor, the fourth resistor, the fifth resistor and the base of the second transistor in series, one end of the fifth resistor is connected in parallel with the fourth capacitor, the sixth resistor and the collector of the second transistor, the emitter output terminal of the second transistor is connected in parallel with the seventh resistor and the fifth capacitor, the seventh resistor is connected, a working voltage terminal is formed between the fourth resistor and the fifth resistor, and voltage output terminals are formed at both ends of the sixth resistor.

[0042] Specifically, the signal amplification circuit is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the signal amplification circuit includes a third capacitor C3 connected to the power input terminal, the output terminal of the third capacitor C3 is respectively connected in parallel with the third resistor R3, the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5 connected in series, and the base of the second diode D2, the fifth resistor R5 is connected in parallel with the fourth capacitor C4 and the sixth resistor R6 connected in series, and the collector of the second triode D2, the emitter output terminal of the second triode D2 is connected in parallel with the seventh resistor R7 and the fifth capacitor C5 for grounding protection, a working voltage terminal is formed between the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5, and voltage output terminals are formed at both ends of the sixth resistor R6.

[0043] The working principle of the signal amplifier circuit is as follows: the third capacitor C3 is the input capacitor, the fourth capacitor C4 is the output capacitor, the second transistor VT2 is the device for amplification, the fourth resistor R4 is the base bias resistor, which determines whether the second transistor VT2 is in the on state, the fifth resistor R5 is the collector load resistor, the collector is the power supply end of the second transistor VT2, it provides current to supply the second transistor VT2, the emitter is added with the seventh resistor R7 and the fifth capacitor C5, the fifth capacitor C5 is called the AC bypass capacitor, it is short-circuited to the AC, it A current branch can be extended to allow the amplified high-frequency signal to pass through and block the low-frequency DC signal from passing through. The seventh resistor R7 has a DC negative feedback effect. In the signal amplification circuit, the output signal amplified by the second transistor VT2 is fed back to the input end of the signal through the AC bypass capacitor to achieve DC negative feedback of the signal. The actual input voltage of the base on the second transistor VT2 is the difference between the voltage on the third resistor R3 and the voltage on the seventh resistor R7, so it is negative feedback. Due to the above two measures, the circuit working stability is improved.

[0044] Since the output terminal voltage of R7 is the common point of the input and output voltages, the output terminal of the seventh resistor R7 is grounded for protection, which can effectively protect it from current overload. The working voltage terminal formed between the resistor R4 and the resistor R5 can be used as a voltage measurement point to detect whether it is within the normal working voltage range, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the circuit. The fourth capacitor C4 can play a filtering role, which is essentially a filter capacitor that filters out signals that are not required by the band frequency, thereby retaining the frequency signal required for setting and outputting the amplified signal stably.

[0045] In summary, in addition to boosting the control signal, the inductive boost circuit can also play a role in stabilizing the voltage, and can also filter out signals that are not required by the band frequency, thereby retaining the set frequency signal; the signal amplification circuit can not only amplify the control signal, but also stabilize the control signal. Therefore, the control circuit of the electronic expansion valve of the present application can effectively regulate the control signal, and can avoid reverse current overload in the circuit, so that the transmission of the signal after amplification is more stable and the low-frequency signal can be effectively removed.

[0046] According to the control circuit of the electronic expansion valve proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the control signal can be boosted and amplified by the signal adjustment circuit, so that the controller can control the electronic expansion valve based on the boosted and amplified control signal, thereby being able to effectively adjust the control signal to avoid reverse current overload in the circuit. Boosting and amplifying the control signal can enhance the signal strength and signal quality, thereby achieving more precise control of the electronic expansion valve.

[0047] An embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioning system, comprising a control circuit of the electronic expansion valve as described above.

[0048] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the above air-conditioning system.

[0049] Specifically, the power source of the air-conditioning system of the vehicle in the embodiment of the present application can be electricity. The refrigerant circulates through four stages of compression, heat release, throttling and heat absorption with the help of an electric compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator, and dissipates the heat inside the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the temperature inside the vehicle. When the temperature inside the vehicle needs to be increased, the blower transports the heat released by the condenser into the vehicle, and the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is liquefied into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant through an external heat exchanger, absorbing heat from the external environment, thereby forming a refrigeration process.

[0050] The specific structure of the vehicle's air conditioning system is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it includes: an electric compressor 1, an in-vehicle heat exchanger 2, an electronic expansion valve 11 and an out-vehicle heat exchanger 3.

[0051] The electric compressor 1 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. Subsequently, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle heat exchanger 2 to condense and release heat to become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and the low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant is transported to the electronic expansion valve 11.

[0052] The electronic expansion valve 11 is used to reduce the pressure of low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant through gasification and transport it to the outdoor heat exchanger 3. The low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat to become low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is transported back to the electric compressor 1. The heat dissipated by the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant after condensation in the indoor heat exchanger 2 is transported to the interior of the vehicle through the blower, thereby constituting a heating process. The low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat through the outdoor heat exchanger 3 to cool the interior of the vehicle, thereby constituting a cooling process.

[0053] In addition, the present application can use a hybrid oil vehicle to perform cooling or heating work. When the power source is the engine compartment, the engine compartment is used to release high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and transport it to the compressor; the compressor compresses the high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and transports the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant to the condenser; the condenser converts the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant after heat exchange and transports it to the liquid storage dryer; the liquid storage dryer is used to absorb moisture and purify the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant and transport it to the expansion valve; the expansion valve reduces the pressure of the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas refrigerant through gasification and transports it to the evaporator; the evaporator is used to convert the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant by absorbing heat, and transports the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant to the engine compartment, absorbs heat in the engine compartment, and converts the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The system constitutes a cycle.

[0054] As for the electric vehicle, the battery is used to power the electric compressor 1, and the electric compressor 1 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. Subsequently, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows into the condenser through the four-way reversing valve; the heat emitted by the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant after condensation in the condenser is transported to the vehicle through the blower, thus constituting a heating process; the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is condensed into a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant through the evaporator, and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture refrigerant after throttling and reducing the pressure through the expansion valve. The low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat through the evaporator to become a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant; the low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat through the evaporator, thereby cooling the interior of the vehicle, constituting a cooling process, and the gaseous refrigerant is purified and dried through the liquid storage drying tank, and the gaseous refrigerant is re-transported to the electric compressor 1, constituting a cycle.
