Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motor controllers, and in particular to a water cooling component and a control system for a motor controller of an electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In electric vehicles, the motor controller is a key component for controlling the operation of the motor, and its performance stability is of vital importance. An effective cooling system is an important factor in ensuring the normal operation of the motor controller.

[0003] Existing motor controller cooling systems generally use air cooling or water cooling to cool down power devices, but air cooling requires the design of a heat dissipation fan and a large-area heat sink, which increases the size of the controller; water cooling is usually achieved through a water-cooled plate. The structure of the existing water-cooled plate is to embed a winding copper tube into an aluminum plate, and achieve circulating water cooling by passing coolant into the copper tube. However, its manufacturing process is complex and the material cost is high. In addition, the copper tube is limited by the material properties and cannot achieve a longer heat dissipation path. In order to ensure the pressure-bearing strength, the aluminum plate needs to have a certain thickness, which will increase the mass, so it can no longer meet the needs; secondly, the control of the existing water-cooling component control system is not precise enough, and the water pump speed and fan speed are only controlled based on a simple temperature threshold. This method cannot fully consider the differences in heat dissipation requirements of the electric drive system under different working conditions (such as high-speed driving, climbing, rapid acceleration, etc.). Moreover, the comprehensive and coordinated control of multiple parameters such as coolant temperature, flow, and pressure is not perfect, which can easily lead to problems such as low heat dissipation efficiency or energy waste; third, the existing water-cooling component control system lacks the ability to quickly detect and adaptively adjust the water-cooling component's own faults. Once a partial failure of the water-cooling component occurs (such as slight wear of the water pump resulting in reduced flow, partial blockage of the radiator, etc.), it may not be possible to detect and adjust the control strategy in time to maintain normal heat dissipation of the electric drive system.

[0004] Therefore, the present application designs an electric vehicle motor controller water cooling component and control system to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the invention

A plurality of flow channels 23 and through grooves 24 are arranged on the corrugated plate 22, and adjacent flow channels 23 are connected by the through grooves 24. The flow channels 23 and the through grooves 24 are both used for the circulation of the coolant, which facilitates the flow of the coolant. The water-cooling assembly 2 uses the corrugated plate 22 to divide the inner cavity of the shell 21 into a plurality of side-by-side and independent The independent flow channel 23 has the advantages of simple process and low cost compared with the existing water cooling plate, and a longer heat dissipation path can be achieved by increasing the number of corrugations of the corrugated plate 22, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the motor controller 1, ensuring the stable operation of the motor controller 1, improving the performance and service life of the electric drive system, and improving the safety of vehicle operation; by utilizing the anti-bending property of the corrugated plate 22 itself and the support on the side plate 25, the shell 21 can have good pressure bearing strength while reducing the weight of the device and the load of the vehicle; the operating state of the water cooling component 2 is adjusted according to actual needs, avoiding energy waste caused by excessive heat dissipation at low load, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, improving the endurance of the vehicle, and avoiding the influence of insufficient heat dissipation on the motor controller 1.

[0029] See attached Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also discloses a control system based on a water cooling component of an electric vehicle motor controller, including a data acquisition module 3 for measuring parameters of a motor controller 1, the data acquisition module 3 is data-connected to a working condition identification and analysis module 4, the working condition identification and analysis module 4 is data-connected to a heat dissipation demand calculation module 5 and an electronic control unit 9, the data acquisition module 3 and the electronic control unit 9 collect parameters of the motor controller 1 and transmit them to the working condition identification and analysis module 4, and control the water cooling component 2 to cool the motor controller 1 through a control instruction execution module 8. The data acquisition module 3 establishes a data connection with the working condition identification and analysis module 4, and the working condition identification and analysis module 4 establishes data connections with the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5, the motor controller 1 and the electronic control unit 9 respectively. The control instruction execution module 8 establishes a data connection with the water cooling component 2. The working condition identification and analysis module 4 obtains the operating parameters of the vehicle through the electronic control unit 9. At the same time, the data acquisition module 3 collects data through multiple sensors arranged in the electric drive system, and installs a high-precision temperature sensor on the surface of the power module of the motor controller 1 to accurately obtain the temperature of the electric drive component, and then judges the current working condition type of the vehicle according to the operating parameters of the vehicle and the working state of the motor, and then accurately analyzes the working state of the electric drive system under different vehicle working conditions according to the pre-set working condition mode and algorithm, and transmits the information to the working condition identification and analysis module 4 for analysis and processing, and controls the operation of the water cooling component 2 through the control instruction execution module 8, and automatically and intelligently controls the water cooling component 2 to cool the motor controller 1 to ensure the stable operation of the motor controller 1.

[0030] Further optimize the scheme, the working condition identification and analysis module 4 is data-connected with the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5, the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5 is data-connected with the control strategy generation module 6, the control strategy generation module 6 is data-connected with the control instruction execution module 8, the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5 calculates the current heat dissipation demand and matches it with the current working condition, and then generates a control strategy through the control strategy generation module 6, which is controlled and executed by the control instruction execution module 8. The working condition identification and analysis module 4 is data-connected with the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5, the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5 establishes a data connection with the control strategy generation module 6, the control strategy generation module 6 establishes a data connection with the control instruction execution module 8, the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5 combines the real-time operating parameters of the electric drive system, and the heat dissipation demand calculated according to the data of the working condition identification and analysis module 4 should match the current working condition, the control strategy generation module 6 generates a control strategy for the control instruction execution module 8 of the water cooling component 2 according to the result of the heat dissipation demand calculation, and then controls the operation of the water cooling component 2.

[0031] Further optimizing the scheme, the control strategy generation module 6 is data-connected with the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7, and the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7 is data-connected with the control instruction execution module 8. The fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7 detects and feeds back the fault of the water cooling component 2, and adaptively adjusts the control strategy of the control strategy generation module 6. The control strategy generation module 6 establishes a data connection with the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7, and the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7 establishes a data connection with the control instruction execution module 8. After receiving the control strategy, the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7 first performs fault diagnosis on each component of the water cooling component 2. If a fault is detected, the control strategy is adaptively adjusted according to the type and severity of the fault, and then the adjusted control instruction is sent to the control instruction execution module 8 to control the water cooling component 2 to cool the motor controller 1.

[0032] Further optimizing the scheme, the control instruction execution module 8 includes a water pump driver 81, a fan controller 82 and a valve driver 83 which are respectively connected to the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7, and controls the cooling parameters of the water cooling component 2. The control instruction execution module 8 includes a water pump driver 81, a fan controller 82 and a valve driver 83, which converts the control instruction into a corresponding electrical signal and sends it to the water pump driver 81, the fan controller 82 and the valve driver 83 respectively. The water pump driver 81 adjusts the speed of the water pump according to the received signal, thereby adjusting the circulation speed of the coolant; the fan controller 82 controls the speed and start and stop of the fan, and enhances or weakens the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator; the valve driver 83 controls the opening of the coolant flow regulating valve, and adjusts the flow distribution of the coolant in the water cooling system, thereby completing the cooling parameter adjustment of the water cooling component 2 system, and adapting to the adaptive cooling of the motor controller 1. Specifically, when the external ambient temperature is low, the electric drive system is in low-power operation and the thermal conductivity of the coolant is within the normal range, and the heat dissipation demand is small, the speed of the water pump and the speed of the radiator fan in the water cooling component 2 can be appropriately reduced to save energy and maintain the stability of the electric drive system; on the contrary, when the external ambient temperature is high, the electric drive system is in high-power operation and the thermal conductivity of the coolant decreases, the heat dissipation demand is large, and the speed of the water pump is increased to increase the circulation speed of the coolant, and at the same time, the opening of the coolant flow regulating valve is increased to allow more coolant to flow through the heat-generating components of the electric drive system, and the speed of the radiator fan is increased to enhance the heat exchange capacity between the radiator and the outside air.

For example, during rapid acceleration, the water pump speed is increased in advance to cope with the upcoming temperature increase.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, when the heat dissipation demand calculated by the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5 is abnormally high or low, data should be re-collected and a new calculation should be performed.

[0035] Further optimizing the scheme, the data acquisition module 3 includes a pressure sensor 31, a flow sensor 32 and a temperature sensor 33 which are respectively connected to the working condition identification and analysis module 4. The pressure sensor 31 detects the internal pressure of the water cooling component 2, the flow sensor 32 detects the flow value of the coolant in the water cooling component 2, and the temperature sensor 33 measures the temperature of the motor controller 1. The data acquisition module 3 collects data through multiple sensors arranged in the electric drive system. A high-precision temperature sensor 33 is installed on the surface of the power module of the motor controller 1 to accurately obtain the temperature of the electric drive component; a flow sensor 32 is installed at the inlet and outlet of the coolant circulation pipeline to measure the flow of the coolant; and a pressure sensor 31 is installed at the key node of the pipeline to measure the internal pressure of the water cooling component 2.

[0036] According to a further optimization scheme, the faults of the water cooling assembly 2 detected by the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7 include water pump fault, radiator fault and sensor fault.

[0037] The control process of the water cooling component 2 is as follows: when the water cooling component 2 is controlled, the temperature value of the motor controller 1, the flow value of the coolant and the pressure value inside the water cooling component 2 are collected through the data acquisition module 3, and the collected data are transmitted to the working condition identification and analysis module 4. At the same time, the vehicle operating parameters are obtained in combination with the electronic control unit 9, and the motor operating parameters are obtained through the motor controller 1, and the working state of the electric drive system under different working conditions is analyzed, and the analysis results are transmitted to the heat dissipation demand calculation module 5, and the current heat dissipation demand is calculated and matched with the current working condition. If the heat dissipation demand is abnormally high or low, the data should be collected again and a new calculation should be performed; the heat dissipation demand should be calculated. The data results of the heat demand calculation are passed to the control strategy generation module 6, and then the control strategy is generated for the water pump driver 81, the fan controller 82 and the valve driver 83 of the water cooling component 2 and passed to the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7; after receiving the control strategy, the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7 first performs fault diagnosis on the various components of the water cooling component 2. If a fault is detected, the control strategy will be adaptively adjusted, and then the adjusted control instructions will be sent to the control instruction execution module 8; the control instruction execution module 8 is used to execute the control instructions for the water pump driver 81, the fan controller 82 and the valve driver 83.

[0038] The water-cooling component control system of the present invention adopts a modular design. By collecting multiple parameters of the electric drive system and the water-cooling component 2 in real time, the heat dissipation requirements of the electric drive system are calculated, and it can accurately determine whether the heat dissipation capacity of the water-cooling component 2 meets the heat dissipation requirements of the electric drive system, thereby realizing dynamic and intelligent control; the fault diagnosis and adaptive adjustment module 7 can monitor the operating status of the water-cooling component 2 in real time, promptly discover the faults in the water-cooling component 2, and adaptively adjust it, thereby improving the accuracy and adaptability of the entire control system, and can effectively ensure the normal heat dissipation of the electric drive system under different working conditions, and improve the performance and service life of the electric drive system; because the operating status of the water-cooling component 2 is adjusted according to actual needs, unnecessary energy consumption is reduced, and energy waste caused by excessive heat dissipation at low load is avoided.

[0039] The water cooling component 2 control system of the present invention adopts a more intelligent module design. Based on a comprehensive consideration of the actual working conditions of the electric drive system, it accurately calculates the heat dissipation requirements under different operating conditions, can detect faults in a timely and effective manner, and adaptively adjust the control strategy to improve heat dissipation efficiency and system reliability.
