Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure pertains to the field of automotive control technology, and particularly relates to a method and system for preventing frequent start-stop of a compressor under low-load conditions. Background Technology

[0002] In spring and autumn, when the ambient temperature is low and there is a need for cooling, the compressor operates under low load, causing it to start and stop frequently, which in turn affects its lifespan.

[0003] The commonly used solution is to increase the opening of the internal and external circulation dampers to increase the intake of fresh air from outside, thereby maintaining the compressor at a low speed. However, this solution has certain limitations. When the ambient temperature is low enough, even if the circulation dampers are at their maximum opening, the compressor will still start and stop frequently, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method and system for preventing frequent compressor start-stop in low-load scenarios to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method and system for preventing frequent start-stop of compressors in low-load scenarios in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] This disclosure achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for preventing frequent compressor start-stop under low-load conditions includes the following steps:

[0008] When the preset trigger conditions are met, the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump are controlled as follows:

[0009] The difference between the target evaporation temperature and the actual evaporation temperature of the compressor is calculated in real time; a first temperature threshold and a second temperature threshold are set, wherein the first temperature threshold is greater than the second temperature threshold.

[0010] When the difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump are controlled according to the first preset strategy; when the difference is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump are controlled according to the second preset strategy.

[0017] If all the above conditions are met, control of the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump can be triggered.

[0018] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the first temperature threshold is set to 2℃ and the second temperature threshold is set to 0℃.

[0019] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the first preset strategy includes: controlling the battery circuit EXV to open in 50 steps, while controlling the battery water pump to operate at a 50% duty cycle; continuously increasing the number of steps of the battery circuit EXV every 5 steps / s until the difference is less than 2°C, and maintaining the current opening degree of the battery circuit EXV; the second preset strategy includes: decreasing the opening degree of the battery circuit EXV in 10 steps / s until the battery circuit EXV is closed, at which point the battery water pump is turned off, and the current low-load mode is exited.

[0021] The condition judgment module is used to determine whether the trigger condition is met. If so, it controls the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump.

[0022] The calculation module is used to calculate the difference between the target evaporation temperature and the actual evaporation temperature of the compressor in real time; and to set a first temperature threshold and a second temperature threshold, wherein the first temperature threshold is greater than the second temperature threshold.

[0023] The control module controls the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump according to a first preset strategy when the difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold; and controls the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump according to a second preset strategy when the difference is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold.

[0024] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the triggering conditions specifically include:

[0025] The compressor speed remains at 1000 rpm for more than 5 seconds;

[0026] The internal and external circulation dampers remain in the fully external position for more than 5 seconds.

[0027] The battery pack cell temperature is above 5℃;

[0028] The airflow is set to the lowest level and maintained for more than 5 seconds.

[0029] The actual evaporation temperature of the compressor has reached the target evaporation temperature and continues to decrease at a rate of not less than 0.5℃ / s.

[0030] If all the above conditions are met, control of the battery circuit EXV and the battery water pump can be triggered.

[0031] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the first temperature threshold is set to 2℃ and the second temperature threshold is set to 0℃.

[0032] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the first preset strategy includes: controlling the battery circuit EXV to open in 50 steps, while controlling the battery water pump to operate at a 50% duty cycle; continuously increasing the number of steps of the battery circuit EXV every 5 steps / s until the difference is less than 2°C, and maintaining the current opening degree of the battery circuit EXV; the second preset strategy includes: decreasing the opening degree of the battery circuit EXV in 10 steps / s until the battery circuit EXV is closed, at which point the battery water pump is turned off, and the current low-load mode is exited.

The cooling circuit then transfers this cooling energy to the battery pack body. Since the battery pack body is large, the excess cooling energy can be consumed without the compressor frequently starting and stopping. Attached Figure Description
