Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hybrid excavator thermal management system, a control method and a device, and belongs to the technical field of hybrid excavator thermal management. Background Art

[0002] An excavator is a multi-purpose construction machinery. Hybrid excavators add ISG motors and power batteries to traditional excavators, or replace hydraulic swing motors with swing motors. ISG motors are connected in series to the flywheel end of the engine to dynamically adjust the output torque of the engine, or provide power for starting the engine, and can provide electricity for the swing motor and power battery. Compared with traditional excavators, hybrid excavators need to add motors and power battery cooling systems.

[0003] In the prior art, a hydraulic motor is usually used to drive a fan to force air cooling of the radiator core. This solution requires a heat pump to deliver high-pressure hydraulic oil to a hydraulic motor to drive the fan. This has the disadvantages of low energy conversion rate and high energy consumption of the hydraulic system, and requires the layout of complex hydraulic pipelines. The second solution uses a low-voltage electronic fan to force air cooling of the radiator core. This solution uses an ISG motor to send high-voltage electricity to an all-in-one controller, which is then distributed to the DCDC by the all-in-one controller, and then the DCDC provides power to the low-voltage fan. This solution usually requires a large number of low-voltage electronic fans to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the entire machine. Not only the electrical system The system design is difficult, and there are disadvantages such as excessive fan starting current and high energy consumption. The third solution uses an air-cooled high-pressure fan to force air cooling of the radiator core. In this solution, the ISG motor sends high voltage electricity to the all-in-one controller, and then the all-in-one controller provides power to the fan. Since the heat dissipation air outlet temperature of the engine radiator and the intercooler radiator is relatively high, usually exceeding 75°C, it becomes difficult to dissipate heat inside the fan. The high-pressure fan will trigger the fan speed reduction protection mechanism when it is in a high-temperature environment for a long time, resulting in a decrease in the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator and an increase in the ambient temperature of the fan, which leads to a vicious cycle of further fan speed reduction.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, the thermal management of hybrid excavators in the prior art usually adopts hydraulic motor fans, low-voltage electronic fans or air-cooled high-voltage electronic fans, which have high energy consumption and difficult design. In addition, in high temperature environments, the fan speed reduction protection mechanism will be triggered, resulting in a decrease in the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator, affecting the stability of the thermal management work of the hybrid excavator.
