The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.
[0026] The control circuit of the electronic expansion valve, an air conditioning system, a vehicle, a method, and a medium according to embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Addressing the problems mentioned in the background section regarding the control circuits of air conditioning systems, such as ineffective regulation of control signals, susceptibility to backflow overload, unstable signal transmission after amplification, and inability to effectively remove low-frequency signals, this application provides a control circuit for an electronic expansion valve. In this method, the control signal can be boosted and amplified by a signal conditioning circuit, enabling the controller to control the electronic expansion valve based on the boosted and amplified control signal. This effectively regulates the control signal and prevents backflow overload. Therefore, the problems of backflow overload in the circuits of electronic expansion valves in related technologies are solved.
[0027] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a control circuit for an electronic expansion valve provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the control circuit 10 of the electronic expansion valve includes: an electronic expansion valve 11, a signal conditioning circuit 12, and a controller 13.
[0029] The signal conditioning circuit 12 is used to boost and amplify the control signal; the controller 13 generates a control signal based on the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant flowing into and out of the electronic expansion valve of the vehicle air conditioning system, inputs the control signal into the signal conditioning circuit 12, and controls the electronic expansion valve 13 based on the boosted and amplified control signal of the signal conditioning circuit 12.
[0030] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can boost and amplify the control signal through the signal conditioning circuit 12, so that the controller 13 can control the electronic expansion valve 13 based on the boosted and amplified control signal, thereby enabling effective regulation and processing of the control signal and avoiding the circuit from being prone to reverse current overload.
[0031] It should be noted that the control signal in this embodiment is an electrical signal, which can be a voltage signal.
[0032] In this embodiment, 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; the signal amplifier circuit is used to amplify the boosted control signal.
[0034] It is understood that the signal conditioning circuit 12 in this embodiment is divided into two parts: an inductor boost circuit for boosting the control signal and a signal amplification circuit for amplifying the boosted control signal. The specific circuit structure is described in the following embodiments.
[0035] In this embodiment of the application, the inductor boost circuit includes: a first switch connected in series with the vehicle's power supply, a transformer, a first diode, a second diode, a first transistor, a first resistor, a second resistor, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor.
[0036] In this circuit, the output terminal of the first switch is connected in parallel with the collector of the first transistor and the first resistor via a transformer. The first resistor is connected in series with the base of the first transistor. The emitter of the first transistor is electrically connected to the power supply. The output terminal of the transformer is connected in series with the first diode. A first capacitor and a second resistor are connected in parallel with the first diode. A second diode and a second capacitor are connected in parallel with the second resistor. The transformer is a double-winding iron-core transformer with a shielding layer.
[0037] Specifically, an inductor boost circuit, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inductor boost circuit includes a switch SA connected in series with the power supply. The output terminal of the switch SA is connected in parallel with the collector of the first transistor VT1 and the first resistor R1 through a grounded 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 terminal of the transformer T is connected in series with the first diode D1. The first capacitor C1 and the second resistor R2 are connected in parallel with the first diode D1. The second diode D2 and the second capacitor C2 are connected in parallel with the second resistor R2.
[0038] The working principle of the inductor boost circuit is as follows: the pressure sensor and temperature sensor provide the processor with corresponding sensing data, which is then controlled by the controller to increase the voltage of the inductor boost circuit. The circuit also provides feedback on the sensing data of the fluid flow, thus precisely controlling the required regulating voltage. In the inductor boost circuit, the voltage is boosted through a transformer T at switch SA. The first transistor VT1 connected in parallel with transformer T amplifies the weak signal into a larger amplitude electrical signal, ensuring stable transmission of the boosted signal. The positive voltage signal at the output of the first resistor R1 is connected to the base of the first transistor VT1, which transmits this signal to the emitter and collector, thus putting the transistor in a conducting state. Transformer T transmits the electrical signal to the first diode D1, which provides unidirectional conductivity and prevents reverse current. The second diode D2 on the second resistor R2 is essentially a Zener diode, providing voltage regulation. The signal is then coupled through the second capacitor C2, preventing interference between the preceding and following circuit stages during static operation.
[0039] In the inductor boost circuit, the power is amplified at the base of the first transistor VT1, which is connected through the first resistor R1, forming a primary boost voltage. Then, under the action of the transformer T, the voltage is boosted to reach the voltage value required by the electrical device. Through the secondary boost operation, the stability of the voltage transmission is ensured. At the same time, the first capacitor C1 connected in parallel with the first diode D1 can play a filtering role, filtering out signals that are not needed for the frequency band, thereby retaining the set frequency signal.
[0040] In this embodiment, the signal amplification circuit includes: third to fifth capacitors, third to seventh resistors, and a second transistor.
[0041] 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, in series with the fourth resistor, the fifth resistor, and the base of the second transistor. 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 to the fourth resistor and the fifth resistor to form a working voltage terminal. The two ends of the sixth resistor form a voltage output terminal.
[0042] Specifically, signal amplification circuits such as 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 connected in parallel with a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4 and a fifth resistor R5 connected in series, and the base of the second diode D2. The fifth resistor R5 is connected in parallel with a fourth capacitor C4 and a sixth resistor R6 connected in series, and the collector of the second transistor D2. The emitter output terminal of the second transistor D2 is connected in parallel with a seventh resistor R7 for grounding protection and a fifth capacitor C5. A working voltage terminal is formed between the fourth resistor R4 and the fifth resistor R5, and a voltage output terminal is formed across 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 amplification device, the fourth resistor R4 is the base bias resistor, which determines whether the second transistor VT2 is in the conducting state, the fifth resistor R5 is the collector load resistor, the collector is the power supply terminal of the second transistor VT2, it provides current to the second transistor VT2 for operation, and a seventh resistor R7 and a fifth capacitor C5 are added to the emitter. The fifth capacitor C5 is called the AC bypass capacitor, which is short-circuited for AC. A current branch can be extended to allow the amplified high-frequency signal to pass through while blocking the low-frequency DC signal. The seventh resistor R7 has a DC negative feedback function. In the signal amplification circuit, the output signal amplified by the second transistor VT2 is fed back to the signal input terminal through the AC bypass capacitor, realizing DC negative feedback of the signal. The actual input voltage of the base of 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 stability of the circuit operation is improved.
[0044] Since the output voltage of R7 is the common point of the input and output voltages, the output of the seventh resistor R7 is grounded for effective overload protection. The working voltage terminal formed between resistors R4 and R5 can be used as a voltage measurement point to detect whether it is within the normal working voltage range, thus ensuring the normal operation of the circuit. The fourth capacitor C4 can act as a filter, essentially a filter capacitor, to filter out signals that are not needed for the frequency band, thereby retaining the required frequency signal and outputting the amplified signal stably.
[0045] In summary, the inductor boost circuit can not only boost the control signal but also stabilize it, and it can also filter out signals that are not needed in the desired frequency band, thus retaining the signal of the set frequency. The signal amplification circuit can not only amplify the control signal but also stabilize it. Therefore, the control circuit of the electronic expansion valve of this application can effectively regulate the control signal, avoid reverse current overload in the circuit, make the signal transmission more stable after amplification, and effectively remove low frequency signals.
[0046] According to the control circuit of the electronic expansion valve proposed in the embodiments of this application, the control signal can be boosted and amplified by the signal conditioning circuit, so that the controller can control the electronic expansion valve based on the boosted and amplified control signal. This enables effective regulation of the control signal, avoids the circuit from being prone to reverse current overload, and 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] This application also provides an air conditioning system, including the control circuit of the electronic expansion valve as described above.
[0048] This application also provides a vehicle including the air conditioning system described above.
[0049] Specifically, the power source of the vehicle's air conditioning system in this application embodiment can be electricity. The refrigerant, with the help of an electric compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator, goes through four stages of compression, heat release, throttling and heat absorption to dissipate the heat inside the vehicle to the outside, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the temperature inside the vehicle. When it is necessary to raise the temperature inside the vehicle, the blower delivers the heat released by the condenser to the vehicle. The low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is liquefied into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant through the heat exchanger outside the vehicle, absorbing heat from the external environment, thereby forming a cooling 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 external heat exchanger 3.
[0051] Among them, the electric compressor 1 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. Then, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is condensed and released heat by the in-vehicle heat exchanger 2 and becomes a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant is then delivered to the electronic expansion valve 11.
[0052] The electronic expansion valve 11 is used to reduce the pressure of the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant to a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant through vaporization and deliver it to the external heat exchanger 3. The low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat to become a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is then delivered back to the electric compressor 1. The heat dissipated by the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant after condensation in the internal heat exchanger 2 is delivered to the vehicle interior by a blower, thus constituting a heating process. The low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the external heat exchanger 3, thus cooling the vehicle interior, thus constituting a cooling process.
[0053] Furthermore, this application can utilize a hybrid system for cooling or heating. When the power source is the engine compartment, the engine compartment releases high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and delivers it to the compressor. The compressor compresses the high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant and delivers it 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 delivers it to the receiver-dryer. The receiver-dryer absorbs moisture and purifies the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant and delivers it to the expansion valve. The expansion valve depressurizes the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant through vaporization and delivers it to the evaporator. The evaporator absorbs heat from the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant, converting it into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant, and delivers it to the engine compartment to absorb heat. The low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant is then converted into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, completing one cycle in the system.
[0054] In an electric vehicle, the battery powers the electric compressor 1, which compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant then flows into the condenser through a four-way reversing valve. The heat released by the condenser after condensation is delivered to the vehicle interior via a blower, thus initiating a heating process. The high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is then condensed into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant by the evaporator. After being throttled and depressurized by the expansion valve, it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid mixture refrigerant. This mixture evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator, becoming a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This process cools the vehicle interior. The gaseous refrigerant is then purified and dried in a liquid receiver-drier before being returned to the electric compressor 1, completing a cycle.

[0060] In step S102, a control signal for the electronic expansion valve is generated based on temperature and pressure.
