Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of room temperature magnetic heat pump and automation control, in particular to a room temperature magnetic heat pump control system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] Room temperature magnetic heat pump uses magnetocaloric material (MCM) as refrigerant to replace traditional hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant. It uses its magnetocaloric effect (MCE) to replace the process of compressor compressing steam and expansion valve expanding fluid in steam compression technology with magnetization and demagnetization process. The theoretical cycle efficiency can reach 60% of the Carnot cycle. Since MCM is solid, there is no risk of escape and leakage, no ozone depletion potential (ODP), and the global warming potential (GWP) is usually very small, which has great environmental protection benefits and broad application development prospects.

[0003] In recent years, room temperature magnetic heat pump technology has developed rapidly, and a large number of prototypes have been launched. Due to the limited magnetic induction intensity of the permanent magnetic field, the adiabatic temperature change of MCM is limited. The existing room temperature magnetic heat pump adopts the structure of active magnetic regenerator (AMR), which accumulates the energy generated by a single demagnetization by heat recovery, and increases the cycle temperature span of the system.

[0004] The AMR heat recovery process involves the alternation of magnet rotation and heat exchange fluid flow timing. The accurate heat recovery process depends on the precise matching of timing, which in turn depends on a fast-responding, accurate, and highly automated room-temperature magnetic heat pump coordinated control system.

[0005] For room temperature magnetic heat pump systems, non-automatic control methods are inefficient, lack control accuracy, and are difficult to achieve coordinated control. They do not have the ability to provide real-time feedback on sensor signals, quickly follow actuator signals, and correct positioning errors in a timely manner. They have poor speed regulation performance and are unable to achieve system self-balancing control and variable load control. It is difficult to obtain the optimal heating performance of the room temperature magnetic heat pump system, and it is impossible to know the maximum heating potential of the room temperature magnetic heat pump system.

[0006] In the room temperature magnetic heat pump system, the Halbach permanent magnet used has very high requirements for position control accuracy. The position control accuracy directly affects whether the magnetization start position / demagnetization end position is a low magnetic field, and whether the demagnetization start position / magnetization end position is a high magnetic field, thereby affecting whether the system MCM reaches the maximum magnetic entropy change under the current magnetic field strength, affecting the system temperature rise of a single demagnetization, thereby continuously affecting the energy accumulation effect of the temperature span establishment process, and ultimately affecting the system temperature span and heating output effect. Synchronous control method, system and magnetic refrigerator for magnetic refrigerator (CN202310774300.4), the invention adjusts the situation of the lowest magnetic field being out of sync by detecting the lowest magnetic field moment corresponding to each magnetic regenerator in the same magnetic regenerator module, but it requires the leading magnet to wait for the lagging magnet, which affects the overall cycle timing, and can only detect the lowest magnetic field position but not the highest magnetic field position. In summary, accurate positioning of the high / low magnetic field position of the magnet is crucial to the process and result of establishing the temperature span of the regenerative cycle.

[0007] On the other hand, in the room temperature magnetic heat pump system, due to the different lengths of the system pipelines and the different densities of cold / hot water, the pumping resistance of the first water pump and the second water pump are different, which makes the pumping flow of the first water pump and the second water pump different under the same pulse duty cycle. As a result, the water level of the water tank at one end rises slowly during operation, while the water level of the water tank at the other end drops slowly, affecting the continuous operation of the heating cycle in the room temperature magnetic heat pump heating experiment, and affecting the temperature evolution trend of the AMR axis. Therefore, achieving self-balancing of the liquid levels in the water tanks at both ends is very important for the stable operation of the room temperature magnetic heat pump heating cycle and achieving the best system heating performance.

[0036] The method for realizing the room temperature magnetic heat pump control system includes timing matching control, PWM speed regulation control, signal acquisition control, liquid level self-balancing control, magnetic field positioning control, and variable load dynamic control;

[0037] Preferably, the timing matching control method includes the following two operating modes:

[0038] Operation mode 1: Continuous operation mode based on the reverse Brayton regenerative cycle, the servo motor runs continuously, and the third water pump, the first solenoid valve, the second water pump, and the second solenoid valve run intermittently; when the servo motor drives the Halbach internal magnet to rotate to a position near the highest magnetic field, the third water pump and the first solenoid valve are opened to perform a cold flow process; when it rotates to a position near the lowest magnetic field, the second water pump and the second solenoid valve are opened to perform a hot flow process, and all water pumps and solenoid valves are closed at times not near the highest / lowest magnetic field;

[0039] The single-cycle timing is as follows: the servo motor rotates continuously, and the third water pump and the first solenoid valve are turned on 30° before the Halbach inner magnet reaches the highest magnetic field position. The third water pump is turned off after the Halbach inner magnet rotates 30° past the highest magnetic field position, and the first solenoid valve is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline and complete the cold flow process; the second water pump and the second solenoid valve are turned on 30° before the Halbach inner magnet reaches the lowest magnetic field position, and the second water pump is turned off after the Halbach inner magnet rotates 30° past the lowest magnetic field position, and the second solenoid valve is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline and complete the hot flow process;

[0040] Operation mode 2: intermittent operation mode based on reverse Brayton regenerative cycle. The servo motor operates intermittently, the third water pump, the first solenoid valve, the second water pump, and the second solenoid valve operate intermittently, and the servo motor and the third water pump and the second water pump do not operate at the same time;

[0041] The single-cycle timing is as follows: the rotation of the servo motor drives the Halbach internal magnet to rotate 180°, from the lowest magnetic field position to the highest magnetic field position and then stops, so that the magnetic flux density in the middle pore area changes from 0 to the maximum value, completing a magnetization process of the magnetocaloric material; at the moment the servo motor stops, the third water pump and the first solenoid valve are turned on, and the cold flow process is carried out in a fully magnetized state. After the second flow sensor detects that the heat exchange fluid flow reaches a predetermined value, the third water pump is turned off, and the first solenoid valve is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline; at the moment the third water pump is turned off, the servo motor is started again. The rotation drives the Halbach internal magnet to rotate 180°, from the highest magnetic field position to the lowest magnetic field position and then stops, so that the magnetic flux density in the middle pore area decreases from the maximum value to 0, completing the demagnetization process of the magnetocaloric material; the second water pump and the second solenoid valve are opened at the moment the servo motor stops, and the heat flow process is carried out in a completely demagnetized state. After the first flow sensor detects that the heat exchange fluid flow reaches a predetermined value, the second water pump is closed, and the second solenoid valve is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline; at the moment the second water pump is closed, the servo motor is started again to carry out the next cycle of magnetization process.

[0042] Preferably, the PWM speed control includes servo motor frequency control and water pump PWM control;

[0043] During the servo motor frequency modulation control process, the pulse duty cycle sent by the single-chip microcomputer is kept unchanged, and the pulse frequency is changed to change the speed of the servo motor. Specifically, the pulse frequency is adjusted through the progress bar on the serial port screen to realize the servo motor frequency modulation control;

[0044] During the PWM control of the water pump, the pulse frequency sent by the microcontroller is kept unchanged, and the pulse duty cycle is changed to change the speed of the water pump. Specifically, the pulse duty cycle is adjusted through the progress bar on the serial port screen to achieve PWM control of the water pump.

[0045] Preferably, the signal acquisition control includes a temperature sensor module, a liquid level sensor module, a pressure sensor module, a flow sensor module, a metal proximity switch sensor module, a magnetic induction proximity switch sensor, and a servo encoder signal acquisition control;

[0046] During the control process of the temperature sensor module and the liquid level sensor module, the temperature signal and the liquid level signal are input through the A / D conversion module of the single chip microcomputer, and the analog signal data is converted into digital signal data, thereby obtaining the actual temperature value and the liquid level height value;

[0047] During the control process of the pressure sensor module, the current signal output by the pressure sensor module is converted into a voltage signal by the current-to-voltage module, and then input into the single-chip microcomputer A / D conversion module to convert the analog signal data into digital signal data, thereby obtaining the actual pressure value;

[0048] During the control process of the flow sensor module, the flow sensor module uses the timer module input capture function of the single-chip microcomputer, and uses two timers, one for timing n seconds, and the other for capturing external input pulses. Therefore, the frequency of the external input pulse can be calculated by the number of pulses captured within n seconds, and then the actual flow value can be obtained by conversion;

[0049] During the control process of the metal proximity switch sensor module, when the metal proximity switch sensor module is in the high / low magnetic field position, a level jump will occur, generating a switch signal, which is input into the GPIO port of the single-chip microcomputer and read, and controls the timing of the cold / hot flow process in the loop program;

[0050] The magnetic induction proximity switch sensor will have a level jump when the high / low magnetic field position is in place, generating a switch signal, and the switch signal is input into the GPIO port of the single-chip microcomputer to be read to calibrate the initial magnetic field position;

[0051] The servo encoder counts the actual output pulse number of the servo motor, transmits it to the servo driver and the microcontroller, and compares it with the input pulse number sent to the servo motor by the microcontroller to realize feedback and correction of the motion signal.

[0052] Preferably, the liquid level self-balancing control is achieved by collecting the return value of the liquid level sensor module, calculating the absolute value of the difference in the corresponding water tank liquid level position rise value during the cold / hot flow process, and changing the corresponding water pump duty cycle to achieve self-balancing of the water tank liquid level.

[0053] Preferably, the magnetic field positioning control is in the process of high and low magnetic field positioning, and the position of the metal proximity switch sensor module is determined by the position opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark in the high magnetic field and the position opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark in the low magnetic field; the first metal proximity switch sensor is opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark in the high magnetic field, and the second metal proximity switch sensor is opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark in the low magnetic field;

[0054] When performing a room temperature magnetic heat pump reheat cycle, when the Halbach internal magnet rotates to magnetize or demagnetize, whenever the magnetic field positioning mark rotates to the position directly facing the first metal proximity switch sensor, it proves that this position is a high magnetic field position, and at this time the first metal proximity switch sensor sends a high magnetic field position arrival signal to the single chip microcomputer; whenever the magnetic field positioning mark rotates to the position directly facing the second metal proximity switch sensor, it proves that this position is a low magnetic field position, and at this time the second metal proximity switch sensor sends a low magnetic field position arrival signal to the single chip microcomputer;

[0055] In the continuous operation mode, after the metal proximity switch sensor module sends a high / low magnetic field position signal to the microcontroller, it calculates whether the moment of reaching the position is the middle moment of the flow, and calibrates the demagnetization and cold / hot flow timing; in the intermittent operation mode, after the metal proximity switch sensor module sends a high / low magnetic field position signal to the microcontroller, it executes the servo motor duty cycle set to 0 instruction, the servo motor stops, and the cold / hot flow process is carried out.

[0056] Preferably, the variable load dynamic control includes variable cooling load dynamic control and variable heating load dynamic control;

[0057] The variable cooling load in the variable cooling load dynamic control is to change the temperature of the constant temperature water bath at the hot end and change the heat exchange fluid flow on this side by controlling the voltage of the first water pump to achieve different cooling load simulations; the variable cooling load dynamic control is to compare the temperature span at this time with the set temperature span, input the fuzzy PID controller, and perform calculations through the fuzzy PID control algorithm. By controlling the voltage of the second water pump and the third water pump, the heat flow and cold flow circulation flow rates are changed, and the room temperature magnetic heat pump system is controlled to maintain the set temperature span under the current cooling load to achieve dynamic control of variable cooling load;

[0058] The variable heat load in the variable heat load dynamic control is achieved by changing the voltage of the PTC heating plate at the cold end to simulate different heat loads; the variable heat load dynamic control is to compare the temperature span at this time with the set temperature span, input the fuzzy PID controller, and perform calculations through the fuzzy PID control algorithm. By controlling the voltage of the second water pump and the third water pump, the heat flow and cold flow circulation flow rates are changed, and the room temperature magnetic heat pump system is controlled to maintain the set temperature span under the current heat load to achieve dynamic control of variable heat load.

[0099] Specifically, in a room temperature magnetic heat pump control method provided by the present invention, the timing matching control is implemented by the following steps:

[0100] Through the serial port screen 16 control interface, the operation mode is set to continuous / intermittent, the magnetization / demagnetization time, the cold / hot flow time, the servo motor 26 speed, the water pump (9, 12, 17) speed, and the system alarm threshold.

[0101] Furthermore, the serial port screen command is transmitted to the single-chip computer 14 through serial port communication. After being processed by the internal control algorithm, the PWM control signal is output to the photocoupler 40 and the water pump driver 41. The voltage of the PWM control signal sent by the single-chip computer 14 is 3.3V. After the photocoupler 40 receives the PWM signal, the control signal is boosted to 24V. The frequency and duty cycle of the pulse square wave remain unchanged. The servo driver 39CN1 port is input to achieve different speeds of the servo motor 26 through different pulse square wave frequencies. The duration of the pulse square wave is the running time of the servo motor. After the water pump driver 41 receives the PWM signal, different effective voltages at both ends of the water pump are achieved through different pulse square wave duty cycles, thereby achieving different speeds. The above steps are used to realize the set operation of the room temperature magnetic heat pump system and complete the correct timing matching.

[0102] In this embodiment, for the continuous operation mode, the servo motor 26 operates continuously, and the third water pump 17, the first solenoid valve 7, the second water pump 12, and the second solenoid valve 21 operate intermittently, both of which are turned on near the highest magnetic field or the lowest magnetic field, and closed at other times.

[0103] Specifically, the working sequence of a single cycle of the continuous operation mode is as follows: the servo motor 26 rotates continuously, the Halbach internal magnet 28 reaches the position 30° before the highest magnetic field position, the third water pump 17 and the first solenoid valve 7 are turned on, and the cold flow process is started when the magnetization is not complete, such as Figure 2In the time period (t2+t3) shown in FIG. 1 , after the Halbach internal magnet 28 rotates to the position of the highest magnetic field by 30°, the third water pump 17 is closed, and the first solenoid valve 7 is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline and complete the cold flow process; before the Halbach internal magnet 28 reaches the position of the lowest magnetic field by 30°, the second water pump 12 and the second solenoid valve 21 are opened, and the hot flow process is started before the demagnetization is complete, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 In the time period (t5+t6) shown, after the Halbach internal magnet 28 rotates past the 30° position of the lowest magnetic field, the second water pump 12 is closed and the second solenoid valve 21 is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline and complete the heat flow process. Figure 2 The other time periods shown: (t1+t2) time period is the magnetization time (part), and (t3+t4+t5) time period is the demagnetization time.

[0104] In this embodiment, for the intermittent operation mode, the servo motor 26 operates intermittently, the third water pump 17, the first solenoid valve 7, the second water pump 12, and the second solenoid valve 21 operate intermittently, and the servo motor 26 and the third water pump 17 and the second water pump 12 do not operate at the same time.

[0105] Specifically, the working sequence of a single cycle of the intermittent operation mode is as follows: the servo motor 26 rotates to drive the Halbach inner magnet 28 to rotate 180° from the lowest magnetic field position to the highest magnetic field position and then stops, so that the magnetic flux density in the middle pore area 30 (where the active magnetic regenerator is placed) changes from 0 to the maximum magnetic field strength value H max , completing a magnetization process of the magnetocaloric material, corresponding to Figure 3 t1 time period; the servo motor 26 stops at the moment the third water pump 17, the first solenoid valve 7 is opened, the magnetocaloric material and the heat exchange fluid cold flow process in the high magnetic field state, corresponding to Figure 3 after the second flow sensor FS2 detects that the heat exchange fluid flow rate reaches a predetermined value, the third water pump 17 is closed, and the first solenoid valve 7 is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline.

[0106] Furthermore, when the third water pump 17 is turned off, the servo motor 26 is started again, and the Halbach inner magnet 28 is rotated and driven to rotate 180° from the highest magnetic field to the lowest magnetic field and then stop, so that the magnetic flux density in the middle pore area 30 (where the active magnetic regenerator is placed) decreases from the maximum value to 0, completing a demagnetization process of the magnetocaloric material, corresponding to Figure 3The t3 time period; the second water pump 12 and the second solenoid valve 21 are opened at the moment when the servo motor 26 stops, and the heat flow process of the magnetocaloric material and the heat exchange fluid is carried out in the low magnetic field state. After the first flow sensor FS1 detects that the heat exchange fluid flow rate reaches the predetermined flow rate, the second water pump 12 is closed, and the second solenoid valve 21 is closed with a delay of m seconds to balance the pressure wave inside the pipeline, corresponding to Figure 3 The t4 time period;

[0107] Furthermore, at the moment when the second water pump 12 is turned off, the servo motor 26 is started again to perform the magnetization process of the next cycle.

[0108] Specifically, the PWM speed control in the control method of the room temperature magnetic heat pump control system involved in the present invention includes servo motor frequency modulation control and water pump PWM control.

[0109] Furthermore, the frequency modulation control of the servo motor 26 is realized by the following method: using the output comparison function of the timer module of the single-chip microcomputer 14 to output a pulse square wave, and realizing the frequency modulation and speed regulation of the servo motor 26 by adjusting the PWM pulse frequency and the electronic gear ratio of the servo driver 39. The specific steps are as follows:

[0110] The high-speed pulse sent by the single-chip microcomputer 14 is input into the servo driver 39 after being boosted by the photoelectric coupler 40, and the electronic gear ratio of the servo driver 39 is configured to realize the stepping motion of the servo motor 26 which is positively correlated with the pulse frequency; the servo encoder 27 feeds back the position and speed signal to the servo driver 39, obtains the number of feedback pulses of the servo encoder 27, and inputs it into the single-chip microcomputer 14 through the servo driver 39CN1 terminal block, and the single-chip microcomputer 14 calculates the difference between the number of sent pulses and the number of feedback pulses of the servo encoder 27; according to the control pulse deviation value, combined with the fuzzy PID control algorithm, the switch amplification gain coefficient, the differential gain coefficient, and the integral gain coefficient of the servo driver 39 are set to realize the servo motor 26 to accurately and quickly follow the position command pulse sent by the single-chip microcomputer 14, and realize full closed-loop control; as a specific embodiment, the pulse frequency sent by the single-chip microcomputer 14 is 100kHz, and the electronic gear ratio of the servo driver 39 is 240.

[0111] Furthermore, the water pump PWM control is achieved by the following method:

[0112] During the PWM control of the water pump, the single-chip microcomputer sends a pulse square wave with a fixed frequency and an adjustable duty cycle to achieve PWM speed control; as a specific embodiment, the single-chip microcomputer sends a pulse square wave with a fixed frequency of 10kHz and a duty cycle of 0 to 100%, which is input into the water pump driver 41. By changing the duty cycle, the effective voltage value at both ends of the water pump is changed, thereby achieving PWM speed control of the water pump.

[0113] The control method achieves a duty cycle accuracy of 0.125% and a voltage accuracy of 0.03V, which greatly ensures the accuracy of the liquid level adjustment balance of the first water tank 12 and the second water tank 18, and avoids the internal temperature fluctuation of the active magnetic regenerator caused by flow imbalance, thereby adversely affecting the overall temperature span.

[0114] The specific speed regulation is realized by the serial port screen 16. The interface of the serial port screen 16 is designed by VisualTFT software, and the driver is written by Keil software. After being compiled, it is burned to the single-chip computer 14 through the USART serial port for operation. The servo motor 26 is controlled by variable frequency speed regulation through the progress bar, and the water pump (9, 12, 17) is controlled by PWM speed regulation.

[0115] As a specific embodiment, in a room temperature magnetic heat pump control method provided by the present invention, signal acquisition control is implemented by the following steps:

[0116] The temperature sensor module 35, the pressure sensor module 36, and the liquid level sensor module 38 are input through the single-chip microcomputer A / D conversion module, and the flow sensor module 37 signal is obtained through the input capture function of the timer module of the single-chip microcomputer 14. The temperature, pressure, liquid level, and flow data after calculation and conversion will be displayed on the serial port screen 16 through serial port communication.

[0117] Specifically, during the control process of the temperature sensor module 35 and the liquid level sensor module 38, the temperature signal and the liquid level signal are input into the single-chip microcomputer 14 through the A / D conversion module of the single-chip microcomputer, and the analog signal data is converted into digital signal data, thereby obtaining the actual temperature value and the liquid level height value; if a sudden rise / drop in temperature occurs during the non-demagnetization time period, or a sudden rise / drop in liquid level occurs during the non-cold / hot flow time period, and the threshold is exceeded, the system alarms.

[0118] Specifically, the current signal output by the pressure sensor module 36 is converted into a voltage signal by a current-to-voltage module, and input into an A / D conversion module of the single-chip microcomputer to convert the analog signal data into digital signal data, thereby obtaining the actual pressure value.

[0119] Specifically, the flow sensor module 37 adopts the input capture function of the timer module of the single-chip microcomputer 14, and adopts two timers, one for timing n seconds and the other for capturing external input pulses. Therefore, the frequency of the external input pulse can be calculated by the number of pulses captured within n seconds, and then the flow values ​​of the three flow sensors FS1~FS3 can be obtained by conversion.

[0120] Specifically, when the metal proximity switch sensor module 4 is in the high / low magnetic field position, a level jump will occur to generate a switch signal, which is input into the GPIO port (input and output interface) of the microcontroller and read to control the timing of the cold / hot flow process in the cycle program.

[0121] Specifically, the magnetic induction proximity switch sensor 31 will experience a level jump when the high / low magnetic field position is in place, generating a switch signal, and this switch signal is input into the GPIO port (input and output interface) of the microcontroller to be read to calibrate the initial magnetic field position.

[0122] Specifically, the servo encoder 27 counts the actual pulse number of the motor, transmits it to the servo driver 39 and the single-chip microcomputer 14, and compares it with the planned pulse number to achieve feedback and correction of the motion signal.

[0123] The communication protocol between the serial port screen 16 and the single-chip microcomputer 14 is not limited to the RS232 bus communication technology, and the baud rate is not limited to 115200 bps.

[0124] Specifically, in a room temperature magnetic heat pump control method provided by the present invention, liquid level self-balancing control is achieved by the following methods:

[0125] Collect the return value of the liquid level sensor module 38, calculate the absolute value of the difference between the two liquid level positions, and change the change in the corresponding water pump duty cycle to change the corresponding flow rate. The specific steps are as follows:

[0126] The liquid level data of the first liquid level sensor LLS1 and the second liquid level sensor LLS2 at the same cycle position are obtained.

[0127] The difference between the data of the first liquid level sensor LLS1 and the second liquid level sensor LLS2 before and after a single hot / cold flow is calculated. This value can represent the amplitude of the liquid level rise in the first water tank 11 / the second water tank 18 during a single hot / cold flow process.

[0128] According to the difference in the liquid level sensors, in a single cycle, if the second water tank rises more than the first water tank, the duty cycle of the second water pump 12 should be reduced, and the duty cycle of the third water pump 17 should be increased; if the first water tank rises more than the second water tank, the duty cycle of the third water pump 17 should be reduced, and the duty cycle of the second water pump 12 should be increased to achieve self-balancing of the liquid levels in the water tanks at both ends.

[0129] The degree of duty cycle reduction or increase is related to the absolute value of the change in the single flow process of the two liquid level sensors. If the absolute value is within 1mm, the amplitude of duty cycle reduction or increase is 0.125%; if the absolute value is between 1mm and 5mm, the amplitude of duty cycle reduction or increase is 0.25%; if the absolute value is between 5mm and 10mm, the amplitude of duty cycle reduction or increase is 0.5%; if the absolute value is between 10mm and 20mm, the amplitude of duty cycle reduction or increase is 1%; if the absolute value is between 20mm and 50mm, the amplitude of duty cycle reduction or increase is 2.5%; if the absolute value exceeds 50mm, an alarm message is issued, the system is shut down, and the temperature evolution process is re-monitored to avoid excessive fluctuations in the temperature curve during the period of liquid level imbalance.

[0130] Specifically, in a room temperature magnetic heat pump control method provided by the present invention, magnetic field positioning control is achieved by the following steps:

[0131] The metal proximity switch sensors (32, 33) are mounted on a fixed disk 34, the diameter of the fixed disk 34 is equal to the diameter of the Halbach inner magnet 28, and the positions of the metal proximity switch sensors (32, 33) are determined by the positions opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark 3 in a high magnetic field and the positions opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark 3 in a low magnetic field; the first metal proximity switch sensor 32 is opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark 3 in a high magnetic field, and the second metal proximity switch sensor 33 is opposite to the magnetic field positioning mark 3 in a low magnetic field.

[0132] Therefore, when the room temperature magnetic heat pump regenerative cycle is performed, when the Halbach internal magnet 28 rotates to magnetize or demagnetize, every time the magnetic field positioning mark 3 rotates to the position directly opposite the first metal proximity switch sensor 32, it is proved that this position is a high magnetic field position. At this time, the first metal proximity switch sensor 32 sends a high magnetic field position arrival signal to the single chip computer 14. In the continuous operation mode, the rotation speed of the servo motor 26 is calibrated with this position as the center, and it is compared whether this moment is the middle moment of the predetermined flow process. If not, the flow start and end time should be adjusted to achieve cold / hot flow calibration to avoid timing confusion; in the intermittent operation mode, the duty cycle of the servo motor 26 is set to 0, the servo motor 26 stops, and the cold flow process is performed.

[0133] Whenever the magnetic field positioning mark 3 rotates to the position facing the second metal proximity switch sensor 33, it proves that this position is a low magnetic field position. At this time, the second metal proximity switch sensor 33 sends a low magnetic field in place signal to the single chip 14. In the continuous operation mode, the rotation speed of the servo motor 26 is calibrated with this position as the center, and it is compared whether this moment is the middle moment of the predetermined flow process. If not, the flow start and end time should be adjusted to achieve cold / hot flow calibration to avoid timing confusion; in the intermittent operation mode, the duty cycle of the servo motor 26 is set to 0, the servo motor 26 stops, and the hot flow process is carried out.

[0134] Specifically, in a room temperature magnetic heat pump control method provided by the present invention, variable load dynamic control is achieved by the following methods:

[0135] The variable cooling load in the dynamic control of variable cooling load is achieved by changing the temperature of the constant temperature water bath 10 at the hot end and changing the flow rate of the heat exchange fluid on this side by controlling the voltage of the first water pump 9 to realize different cooling load simulations; the dynamic control of variable cooling load is to compare the temperature difference between the first water tank 11 and the second water tank 18 at this time with the set temperature span, input it into the fuzzy PID controller, and perform calculations through the fuzzy PID control algorithm. By controlling the voltage of the second water pump 12 and the third water pump 17, the heat flow and cold flow circulation flow rates are changed, and the room temperature magnetic heat pump system is controlled to maintain the set temperature span under the current cooling load to achieve dynamic control of variable cooling load.

[0136] The variable heat load in the dynamic control of variable heat load is achieved by changing the voltage of the PTC heating plate 20 at the cold end to simulate different heat loads; the dynamic control of variable heat load is to compare the temperature difference between the first water tank 11 and the second water tank 18 at this time with the set temperature span, input it into the fuzzy PID controller, and perform calculations through the fuzzy PID control algorithm. By controlling the voltage of the second water pump 12 and the third water pump 17, the heat flow and cold flow circulation flow rates are changed, and the room temperature magnetic heat pump system is controlled to maintain the set temperature span under the current heat load to achieve dynamic control of variable heat load.

[0137] Specifically, the timing of the continuous operation mode of the room temperature magnetic heat pump regenerative cycle is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the time period (t1+t2) is the magnetization time (part), which is the same as Figure 4 The AB process shown in the figure corresponds to the cold flow time (t2+t3). Figure 4 The BD process shown in the figure corresponds to the demagnetization time (t3+t4+t5). Figure 4 The DE process shown in the figure corresponds to the heat flow time (t5+t6). Figure 4 The EA process shown corresponds to the following.

[0138] Specifically, the timing of the intermittent operation mode of the room temperature magnetic heat pump regenerative cycle is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, t1 is the magnetization time, which is Figure 4 The AB process shown in the figure corresponds to t2, which is the cold flow time. Figure 4 The BD process shown in the figure corresponds to t3, which is the demagnetization time. Figure 4 The DE process shown in the figure corresponds to t4, which is the heat flow time. Figure 4 The EA process shown corresponds to the following.

[0139] Specifically, the temperature-entropy change of the magnetocaloric material during the heat recovery process of the room temperature magnetic heat pump heating cycle is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, T hot and T env are the hot end temperature and the ambient temperature respectively, H1 is the high magnetic field line, and H2 is the low magnetic field line. AB corresponds to the isentropic magnetization process in the reverse Brayton heat recovery cycle, and the temperature of the magnetocaloric material rises; BD corresponds to the cold flow process in the reverse Brayton heat recovery cycle, through which the heat generated by magnetization is stored in the heat exchange fluid and released to the outside in the first heat exchanger 8 (hot end heat exchanger); DE corresponds to the isentropic demagnetization process in the reverse Brayton heat recovery cycle, and the temperature of the magnetocaloric material decreases; EA corresponds to the heat flow process in the reverse Brayton heat recovery cycle.
