[0020] The technical solution of the present invention and how the technical solution of the present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to any application scenario where the hybrid tractor needs to be thermally managed. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be executed by an electronic device with a data processing function, such as an electronic device with a data processing function installed on the tractor, such as a vehicle controller VCU.

[0022] The embodiment of the present invention provides a possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , a flow chart of a tractor thermal management control method is provided. The scheme can be executed by any electronic device, for example, a vehicle controller VCU. For the convenience of description, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described below by taking the vehicle controller VCU as an example of the execution subject. Figure 1 The method may include the following steps: S1, obtaining the current operating environment temperature, battery cooling requirements and passenger compartment cooling requirements corresponding to the tractor; S2, controlling a refrigerant circuit and a low-temperature coolant circuit according to the current operating environment temperature, cooling demand and refrigeration demand to meet the cooling demand of the battery and the refrigeration demand of the passenger compartment; Among them, the low-temperature coolant circuit includes a first circuit formed by a heat dissipation pack, a four-way valve, a battery water pump and a power battery pack, the refrigerant circuit includes a second circuit formed by a first electromagnetic expansion valve, a HAVC air-conditioning system, a cooling device and a second electromagnetic expansion valve, and a third circuit formed by a heat dissipation pack, a belt compressor, a cooling device and a second electromagnetic expansion valve.

[0023] Through the method of the present invention, the refrigerant circuit and the low-temperature coolant circuit can be controlled based on the current operating environment temperature corresponding to the tractor, the cooling demand of the battery and the cooling demand of the passenger compartment, so as to meet the cooling demand of the battery and the cooling demand of the passenger compartment, thereby ensuring operation and improving the fuel economy of the whole machine under the operating conditions in spring and autumn.

[0024] The scheme of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the following specific embodiments. In this embodiment, see Figure 2 The various circuits shown illustrate a tractor thermal management control method.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the various circuits include a motor cooling circuit (the sixth circuit, a hydraulic circuit (condensing circuit (including the second circuit and the third circuit)), an engine cooling circuit (the left circuit in the high-temperature coolant circuit), an air conditioning circuit (the fifth circuit) and a battery circuit (the fourth circuit). The hydraulic circuit is consistent with the conventional tractor circuit and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Based on the above circuits, a tractor thermal management control method proposed in this scheme is introduced. The method may include the following steps: S1, obtaining the current operating environment temperature, battery cooling requirements and passenger compartment cooling requirements corresponding to the tractor; The current operating environment temperature refers to the temperature of the environment in which the tractor is currently located, which can be measured based on a temperature sensor. The cooling demand refers to whether the battery needs to be cooled, and the refrigeration demand refers to whether the passenger compartment needs to be cooled. The tractor can be a hybrid tractor.

[0027] S2, controlling a refrigerant circuit and a low-temperature coolant circuit according to the current operating environment temperature, cooling demand and refrigeration demand to meet the cooling demand of the battery and the refrigeration demand of the passenger compartment; Among them, the low-temperature coolant circuit includes a first circuit formed by a heat dissipation pack, a four-way valve, a battery water pump and a power battery pack, the refrigerant circuit includes a second circuit formed by a first electromagnetic expansion valve, a HAVC air-conditioning system, a cooling device and a second electromagnetic expansion valve, and a third circuit formed by a heat dissipation pack, a belt compressor, a cooling device and a second electromagnetic expansion valve.

[0028] Among them, the various circuits described in this solution can affect each other. Based on the connection or disconnection of each interface in the four-way valve, the corresponding circuit can be connected or disconnected to achieve cooling and refrigeration needs.

[0029] Specifically, the above S2 is divided into three cases: The first case: when the current operating environment temperature is within the first temperature range, the cooling demand is for cooling demand, and the refrigeration demand is for no refrigeration demand, the first interface and the second interface of the four-way valve are controlled to be connected, the battery water pump is controlled to work, and the heat of the battery is controlled to be taken away through the battery water radiator in the heat dissipation pack to achieve cooling of the battery.

[0030] in, Figure 2The corresponding 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the four-way valve correspond to the first interface, the second interface, the third interface and the fourth interface of the four-way valve respectively. The first electromagnetic expansion valve is Figure 2 The electromagnetic expansion valve 1 shown in the figure, the second electromagnetic expansion valve is Figure 2 The electromagnetic expansion valve 2 shown in FIG.

[0031] When the first and second interfaces of the four-way valve are connected, the first circuit is connected, and the battery water pump can be controlled to work, and the heat of the battery can be controlled to be taken away by the battery water radiator in the heat dissipation pack. This control strategy can meet more than 80% of the operating conditions, reduce the work and frequency of use of the compressor, increase the life and improve fuel economy.

[0032] Optionally, the first temperature range may be set based on actual needs, for example, may be 5-20°C.

[0033] The second situation: when the current operating environment temperature is within the first temperature range, the cooling demand is a cooling demand, and the refrigeration demand is a refrigeration demand, the first interface and the third interface of the four-way valve are controlled to be connected, the battery water pump is controlled to work, the heat of the battery is controlled to be taken away through the battery water sink in the heat dissipation pack, the clutch of the belt compressor is controlled to engage, the first electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to open, and the second electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to close.

[0034] When the first interface and the second interface of the four-way valve are connected, it means that the first circuit is connected. At this time, the battery water pump can be controlled to work, and the heat of the battery can be controlled to be taken away through the battery water radiator in the heat dissipation pack.

[0035] When the first electromagnetic expansion valve is opened and the second electromagnetic expansion valve is closed, it means that the second circuit is connected and the refrigeration demand can be met at this time.

[0036] The third situation: when the current operating environment temperature is within the second temperature range, the cooling demand is for cooling demand, and the refrigeration demand is for no refrigeration demand, the third interface and the fourth interface of the four-way valve are controlled to be connected, the first electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to be closed, the second electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to be opened, and the clutch of the belt compressor is controlled to be engaged.

[0037] Optionally, the second temperature range may also be set based on actual needs, for example, it may be greater than 30°C.

[0038] Among them, when the second interface and the fourth interface of the four-way valve are connected, the second electromagnetic expansion valve is opened, and the clutch of the belt compressor is engaged, it means that the third circuit is connected. At this time, the cooling demand can be met through the heat dissipation package. When the first electromagnetic expansion valve is closed, it means that no refrigeration is required.

[0039] In the first case, if the battery temperature continues to rise and exceeds the first high temperature alarm threshold, a forced cooling strategy will be adopted, specifically: The clutch of the belt compressor is controlled to engage, the first electromagnetic expansion valve is closed, the second electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to open, and the second interface and the fourth interface of the four-way valve are controlled to be connected, so as to cool the battery.

[0040] Among them, when the second interface and the fourth interface of the four-way valve are connected, the second electromagnetic expansion valve is opened, and the clutch of the belt compressor is engaged, it means that the third circuit is connected. At this time, the cooling demand can be met through the heat dissipation package. When the first electromagnetic expansion valve is closed, it means that no refrigeration is required.

[0041] Optionally, in the second case, if the battery temperature continues to rise and exceeds the first high temperature alarm threshold, a forced cooling strategy is adopted, specifically: The second electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to open, and the second interface and the fourth interface of the four-way valve are controlled to be connected. At this time, the first electromagnetic expansion valve is also opened, and the clutch of the belt compressor is in the engaged state, which can make the third circuit and the first circuit conductive at the same time to meet the refrigeration and cooling needs.

[0042] Optionally, the method further comprises: When the refrigeration demand is for single refrigeration, the clutch of the belt compressor is controlled to be engaged, the first electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to be opened, and the second electromagnetic expansion valve is controlled to be closed.

[0043] Among them, when the clutch of the belt compressor is engaged, the first electromagnetic expansion valve is opened and the second electromagnetic expansion valve is closed, the fifth circuit in the refrigerant circuit is connected to meet the refrigeration needs. Among them, the fifth circuit is a circuit formed by the heat dissipation pack, belt compressor, HAVC air-conditioning system and the first electromagnetic expansion valve.

[0044] The above processes all belong to cooling control logic. This solution also includes heating control logic: Optionally, the low-temperature coolant circuit further includes a fourth circuit formed by the four-way valve, the cooling device, the power battery pack and the battery water pump, and the method further includes: When the storage time of the whole machine is greater than the set time, the battery temperature of the battery is lower than the set threshold and needs to be recharged, and the engine of the tractor is not started or the engine cannot be started due to insufficient power, the battery is controlled to be connected to the charging pile and heated by a heating film.

[0045] Optionally, the tractor further comprises a high-temperature coolant circuit, the high-temperature coolant circuit comprises a sixth circuit formed by a water pump, a water mixer, a HAVC air conditioning system, an air conditioning water pump, a thermostat and an engine assembly, and the low-temperature coolant circuit further comprises an oil heat exchanger, a dual motor controller ( Figure 2 The seventh circuit formed by the dual motor controller two-in-one shown in ), the motor water pump, the motor radiator, the generator and the drive motor, the oil heat exchanger is connected to the motor oil heat sink circuit, and the method further includes: When the engine of the tractor is started normally and the battery has a heating demand, the second interface and the third interface of the four-way valve are controlled to be connected, the water pump is controlled to work, the air conditioning water pump is controlled to work, the air conditioning warm air core in the HAVC air conditioning system is controlled not to blow air, and the cooling water of the engine is controlled to perform heat exchange with the battery circuit liquid through the oil heat exchanger.

[0046] Among them, the battery circuit liquid refers to the liquid generated by the battery circuit. When the second interface and the third interface of the four-way valve are connected, the water pump is working, and the air-conditioning water pump is working, it means that heat exchange can be carried out between the high-temperature coolant circuit and the low-temperature coolant circuit corresponding to the engine, that is, heat exchange is carried out between the first circuit and the seventh circuit.

[0047] While controlling the cooling water of the engine to exchange heat with the battery circuit liquid through the oil heat exchanger, the water inlet temperature of the battery can also be detected. By controlling the water pump speed or the air conditioning water pump switch, the battery circuit water temperature is adjusted to be maintained between 35 and 45 to heat the battery. If there is a need for heating in the passenger compartment, it is only necessary to start the heater core and blow air.

[0048] In order to better illustrate and understand the principle of the method provided by the present invention, the scheme of the present invention is described below in conjunction with an optional specific embodiment. It should be noted that the specific implementation of each step in the specific embodiment should not be understood as a limitation to the scheme of the present invention. On the basis of the principle of the scheme provided by the present invention, other implementations that can be thought of by those skilled in the art should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In this embodiment, the control strategies involved in this solution are divided into cooling control strategies and heating control strategies, specifically: Cooling control strategy: Working condition 1: In the spring and autumn working season, the ambient temperature is 5~20℃, the battery needs to be cooled and the passenger compartment does not need to be cooled, the four-way valves 1 and 2 are controlled to be connected, the battery water pump works, and the battery heat is taken away by the battery water; it can meet more than 80% of the working conditions, reduce the compressor work and use frequency, increase the life and improve fuel economy. If the battery temperature continues to rise and exceeds the battery level 1 high temperature alarm threshold, forced cooling is adopted, the VCU controls the belt compressor clutch to engage, the electromagnetic expansion valve 1 is closed, the electromagnetic expansion valve 2 is opened, and the four-way valves 2 and 4 are controlled to be connected to cool the battery.

[0050] Working condition 2: In the spring and autumn working season, when the ambient temperature is 5~20℃ and the battery needs to be cooled and the passenger compartment needs to be cooled, the four-way valves 1 and 2 are controlled to be connected, the battery water pump works, and the battery heat is taken away by the battery water radiator; the VCU controls the belt compressor clutch to engage, the electromagnetic expansion valve 1 opens, and the battery expansion valve 2 closes to cool the passenger compartment; if the battery temperature continues to rise and exceeds the battery's first-level high temperature alarm threshold, forced cooling is adopted, the electromagnetic expansion valve 2 is controlled to be opened, the four-way valves 2 and 4 are controlled to be connected, and the compressor jointly cools the air conditioning refrigerant and battery refrigerant circuits.

[0051] Working condition three: In high temperature season, when the VCU detects the ambient temperature is greater than 30°C (TBD, determined by the heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation package), the battery needs to be cooled, but the passenger compartment does not need to be cooled. The VCU controls the clutch of the belt compressor to engage, the solenoid expansion valve 1 to close, the solenoid expansion valve 2 to open, and the four-way valves 2 and 4 to connect to cool the battery.

[0052] Working condition 4: When the passenger compartment is cooled separately, the VCU controls the clutch of the belt compressor to engage, solenoid expansion valve 1 opens, and solenoid expansion valve 2 closes to cool the passenger compartment.

[0053] Heating control strategy: Working condition 1: When the whole machine has been stored for too long, the battery temperature is low and needs to be recharged, when the engine is not started or the engine cannot be started due to electricity, the battery is connected to the charging pile and heated by the heating film.

[0054] Working condition 2: When the engine starts normally and the battery needs to be heated, the VCU controls four-way valves 2 and 3 to be connected, the water pump is controlled to work, the air conditioning water pump works, the heater core does not blow air, and the engine cooling water exchanges heat with the battery circuit liquid through the oil-liquid heat exchanger. At the same time, the battery water inlet temperature needs to be detected, and the battery circuit water temperature is adjusted to maintain between 35 and 45 by controlling the water pump speed or the air conditioning water pump switch to heat the battery. If the passenger compartment needs to be heated, just start the heater core and blow air.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The generator and drive motor are lubricated and cooled by hydraulic oil, and the heat exchange between hydraulic oil and coolant is realized through the oil heat exchanger; the motor water pump circulates the coolant to cool the two-in-one controller and then cools the oil heat exchanger, and the heat is taken away by the motor radiator.

[0056] 2. The warm air circuit in the HVAC is heated by the engine's waste heat, and the cold air circuit is cooled by the engine through a belt-driven compressor. The belt compressor is controlled on and off by an electromagnetic clutch. The air-conditioning evaporator is connected in parallel with the Chiller in the battery circuit, and both are controlled on and off by two electromagnetic expansion valves.

[0057] 3. The battery can be cooled in two ways: a belt compressor circuit for high temperature environments in summer and a battery water cooling circuit for peak operating seasons in spring and autumn. There are two forms of heating: engine water heating and heating by a heating film arranged inside the battery.

[0058] 4. At present, the application time of tractors is mainly concentrated in spring and autumn, and the temperature is generally between 5℃ and 15℃. The water heat sink temperature of this solution can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the battery. Under the working conditions of spring and autumn, the fuel economy of the whole machine can be improved while ensuring the operation.
