[0090] At the same time, in the process of problem adjustment, for the control of cooling capacity, a sliding mode variable structure control model can be constructed based on the heat load analysis of the cab and battery system, which can be expressed as:

[0091] ω c =(e1-e2)+asgns+ks

[0092] Wherein, e1 represents the deviation between the system set temperature and the actual temperature, e2 represents the rate of change of the deviation between the system set temperature and the actual temperature, sgns represents the sign function, and k is the system gain;

[0093] Construct constraints, and determine the optimal controller parameters of the sliding mode controller based on the optimization algorithm with the minimum constraint value as the optimization goal to obtain the sliding mode controller. The expression of the constraint condition is:

[0094]

[0095] Where J is the error value, t is the time, τ is the integral intermediate variable of time t, T b is the battery pack temperature, T bs is the preset battery pack temperature, q is a constant, and the compressor speed is controlled by the system temperature difference to control the system cooling capacity.

[0096] According to the compressor speed, battery water inlet temperature, cab temperature, and air-conditioning set temperature, the electronic expansion valve EXV opening and PTC gear position are controlled by PID, and then it is determined whether each subsystem needs to change mode, and this cycle is repeated.

[0097] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Any modification or equivalent substitution that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
