Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0054] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for controlling a temperature control unit, comprising:

[0056] Step 1: Conduct real-time detection of the unit environment to collect real-time environmental data, and collect equipment data of the temperature control unit equipment in real time.

[0057] Exemplarily, multiple temperature sensors are arranged in the temperature control unit room to collect the ambient temperature, and the temperature of the coolant in the cooling system in the unit is collected through an infrared sensor; the start-up status of the PTC heater and the heat pump in the temperature control unit is extracted in the equipment management system.

[0058] Step 2: Set the pre-temperature control mode of the temperature control unit based on real-time environmental data.

[0059] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the extremely low temperature range is below -10 degrees, the preheating temperature range is [-10 degrees, 10 degrees], and the heating temperature range is above 10 degrees; the ambient temperature is matched with the temperature control start range. In this embodiment, the ambient temperature before heating starts is 5 degrees, and the corresponding environmental state is the preheating state.

[0060] In some other preferred embodiments, if the ambient temperature meets the extremely low temperature range, the corresponding ambient state will be marked as an extremely low temperature state; if the ambient temperature meets the heating temperature range, the corresponding ambient state will be marked as an abnormal state; if the ambient temperature does not meet all temperature control start ranges, it means that the ambient temperature is currently in a state that does not require heating.

[0061] In this embodiment, the unit time is set to 1 minute; the coolant temperature is detected in real time, and when the coolant temperature is detected to drop, the temperature change rate of the coolant is calculated; in this embodiment, the temperature drop protection threshold is set to 5 degrees Celsius per minute, and the temperature change rate is compared with the temperature drop protection threshold to determine whether the temperature change rate is greater than the temperature drop protection rate. In this embodiment, when the coolant temperature drops, the coolant temperature change rate is 6 degrees Celsius per minute, then the temperature change rate is greater than the temperature drop protection threshold, indicating that the coolant temperature change rate is too fast, then a temperature drop protection signal is generated, and the PTC heater and the heat pump are started at the same time to obtain a temperature drop protection state; the target coolant temperature in this embodiment is 30 degrees.

[0062] During preheating, if the temperature of the coolant is low, the efficiency of the heat pump will be relatively low, and heating will be performed through the PTC heater. When the temperature rises, the efficiency of the heat pump gradually increases, then the heater power can be reduced, and the preheating task can be completed through the heat pump; and the temperature of the coolant will also be different. At low temperatures, the efficiency of the heat pump is low, so it mainly relies on the PTC heater for heating. If the temperature of the coolant is higher than the low temperature, the efficiency of the heat pump is higher than that in the low temperature environment, and its heating effect can also assist in completing the preheating task and increase the temperature of the coolant faster. In this embodiment, the extreme temperature threshold at which the PTC heater starts to reduce the power is set to 24 degrees, and it is judged whether the ambient temperature during preheating is greater than the extreme temperature threshold. If the ambient temperature is less than the extreme temperature threshold, it means The coolant is currently in a low temperature environment in the preheating stage, and the PTC heater needs to run at full power. However, the efficiency of the heat pump is low and it is temporarily not started, and the corresponding pre-temperature control mode is marked as a single-start preheating mode; if the ambient temperature is greater than the extreme temperature threshold, it means that the coolant is currently in a higher temperature environment in the preheating stage. At this time, the efficiency of the heat pump can assist the PTC heater in preheating, so the PTC heater and the heat pump are started at the same time, and the corresponding pre-temperature control mode is marked as a dual-start preheating mode; in this embodiment, the ambient temperature is less than the extreme temperature threshold, so the dual-start preheating mode is started; the most suitable pre-temperature control mode is automatically selected according to different environmental conditions, which reduces resource waste, can quickly adapt to environmental changes, maintain internal temperature stability, and improve system reliability.

[0063] The heating state, extremely low temperature state and cooling protection state have corresponding pre-temperature control modes respectively; in the heating state, the efficiency of the heat pump is higher, so heating is carried out through the heat pump and the PTC heater is not started; in the extremely low temperature state, the temperature is relatively low and heating is mainly carried out through the PTC heater, but the heat pump can use the low-temperature heat source for auxiliary heating and start the heat pump at low power; in the cooling protection state, the temperature of the coolant drops rapidly, and the PTC heater and the heat pump are started at the same time until the target coolant temperature is reached, which can minimize energy consumption, improve the overall energy efficiency of the system, and restore the coolant temperature to a safe range in the shortest time to ensure the stability and safety of the system.

[0064] Step 3: After starting the temperature control unit, the real-time environmental data is marked as temperature control environmental data; based on the temperature control environmental data and the pre-temperature control mode, the device data is dynamically adjusted to obtain the adjusted device data.

[0065] Exemplarily, after determining the pre-temperature control mode of the temperature control unit, the temperature control system of the temperature control unit is started, and the real-time environmental data after startup is marked as temperature control environmental data; the environmental state when the temperature control device is started is marked as the initial environmental state. In this embodiment, the target coolant temperature is selected as 30 degrees, and the difference between the target coolant temperature and the initial temperature is marked as the temperature difference value. The heater efficiency of the PTC heater and the heat pump efficiency that increases with temperature are extracted from the equipment database; the switching threshold QHZ is calculated by the formula QHZ=WCZ×[JRT / RBT×(1-lnWCZ)]; when the coolant temperature reaches the switching threshold, the PTC heater is stopped, the heat pump is started to work, and the coolant temperature after reaching the switching threshold is marked as the adjustment temperature; the switching threshold, the adjustment temperature of the coolant after reaching the switching threshold, and the corresponding adjustment time are integrated and marked as adjustment equipment data.

[0066] In some other preferred embodiments, when the pre-temperature control mode of the temperature control unit is the dual-start temperature control mode, when the coolant temperature reaches the switching threshold, the power of the PTC heater is controlled to start decreasing and the heat pump continues to work.

[0067] Step 4: Control the temperature control unit by adjusting the equipment data to complete the temperature adjustment.

[0068] Exemplarily, the adjustment temperature of the coolant and the temperature drop protection signal are monitored in real time. When the temperature drop protection signal is detected, the heat pump is working at this time, and the PTC heater is started to reheat the coolant.

[0069] Detect the temperature change state of the coolant and calculate the temperature change rate of the coolant; in this embodiment, the cooling fault coefficient is set to 1, and the heating fault coefficient is set to 2, the density, volume flow rate and specific heat capacity of the coolant are extracted from the database, and the power of the heat pump is extracted, and the heating fault threshold SWL is calculated by the formula SWL=GLP / (MD×TJL×c×α)×60; the cooling fault threshold JWL is calculated by the formula JWL=GLP / (MD×TJL×c)×60×β; it is calculated that the cooling fault threshold is set to 1.2 degrees per minute and the heating fault threshold is set to 3.5 degrees per minute in this embodiment; it is detected that the temperature change state of the coolant is a heating change state, and the temperature change rate of the coolant is 3 degrees per minute, it is judged that the temperature change rate of the coolant is normal, and the fault state of the temperature unit is marked as no fault.

[0070] In some other preferred embodiments, if the temperature change rate of the coolant in the temperature change state of the rising temperature change state is greater than the temperature rise fault threshold, it means that the temperature change of the coolant is abnormal at this time, and the heat pump power should be reduced; if the temperature change rate of the coolant in the temperature change state of the cooling temperature change state is greater than the cooling fault threshold, it means that the coolant is not only not continuing to heat up, but is cooling down. At this time, the heat pump power should be increased; if the temperature change rate of the coolant in the cooling temperature change state reaches the cooling protection threshold, it means that the temperature of the coolant cannot be continuously increased by relying solely on the action of the heat pump, a cooling protection signal is generated, and the PTC heater is restarted for heating.

[0071] Part of the data in the above formula is calculated by removing the dimension and taking its numerical value. The formula is a formula closest to the actual situation obtained by software simulation of a large amount of collected data; the preset parameters and preset thresholds in the formula are set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions or obtained through simulation of a large amount of data.

[0072] Working principle of the present invention:

[0073] The present invention obtains real-time environmental data and equipment data by real-time monitoring of the environment of the temperature control unit, sets a temperature control start-up range, matches the ambient temperature with the temperature control start-up range to obtain a corresponding environmental state, sets a pre-temperature control mode of the temperature control unit based on the environmental state, extracts the heater efficiency and the heat pump efficiency of the PTC heater in the temperature control unit from the equipment database, sets a target coolant temperature, calculates the temperature difference between the target coolant temperature and the initial temperature, calculates a switching threshold value by combining the temperature difference value, the heater efficiency and the heat pump efficiency, and controls the switching of the heater and the heat pump in the temperature control unit by the switching threshold value; marks the real-time environmental data after startup as temperature control environmental data, sets the switching threshold value according to the target coolant temperature, and dynamically adjusts the temperature control unit by combining the temperature control environmental data, the pre-temperature control mode and the switching threshold value to obtain adjustment equipment data, monitors the temperature change state of the coolant in real time, and adjusts the temperature of the temperature control unit by combining the temperature change state and the adjustment equipment data.
