Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooling system simulation, and particularly to a method and system for constructing a cooling system model. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing demand for high driving range, the power of the drive motor and the capacity of the battery used in new energy vehicles are gradually increasing, and the volume of the battery and the drive motor is also gradually increasing; therefore, the design of the cooling system for the transmission or reducer becomes particularly important, and it needs to be fully considered in the early stage of system design to ensure that the functions of the cooling and lubrication systems can work reliably under various working conditions.

[0003] Currently, in order to ensure the function of the cooling system, generally, a rapid prototype is formed quickly, and through hydraulic tests, the flow rates of each lubricated and cooled part are observed under different working conditions to design the cooling system. This method prolongs the overall design cycle and increases the workload of design changes; moreover, in the case of using a physical prototype as the test piece, due to the large liquid resistance and large volume of the flowmeter, and the low pressure and small space of the cooling system, it is very difficult to measure the actual flow rate of each part, and even qualitative observation is difficult.

Several embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

The terms used in the description of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0057] Embodiment 1

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows the method for building a cooling system model in the first embodiment of the present invention, including steps S10 - S13.

[0059] Step S10: Collect the hydraulic curves, parameter data, pipeline data information of components, and the characteristic curve of hydraulic oil, and establish the first sub-module, the second sub-module, the third sub-module, and the fourth sub-module respectively;

[0060] Specifically, in step S100, perform hydraulic pressure-flow tests on testable components at different temperatures to obtain pressure-flow characteristic curves, and build a first type of model based on Simulink software to obtain the first sub-module;

[0061] For example, hydraulic pumps, oil coolers, filters, etc., use the pressure-flow characteristic curves obtained through tests at different temperatures.

[0062] Step S101: Determine whether there is hydraulic test data for untested components,

[0063] If so, calculate its pressure-flow characteristic curve based on the hydraulic test data, and build a second type of model based on Simulink software to obtain the second sub-module,

[0064] If not, calculate for untested components through the liquid resistance formula, build a second type of model, and obtain the second sub-module;

[0065] For example, the spray pipe is an actuator for cooling and lubrication. If a single-piece hydraulic test has been performed to obtain the pressure-flow characteristic curve, a mathematical model can be established using the Simulink method. However, in actual design, new spray pipes may be generated, such as different nozzle diameters and different nozzle numbers. At this time, the model is appropriately simplified, and the free-flow outlet resistance calculation formula is used to calculate data and build a second type of model.

[0066] By way of example and not limitation, the model simplification includes: First, set the pressure before spraying of different nozzles to be the same, and ignore the liquid flow resistance inside the spray pipe. Second, the liquid pressure at the nozzle is 0, and the kinetic energy carried away by the liquid velocity is included in the frictional pressure loss. Third, when the pipe diameter is large and the length is small, each nozzle satisfies the parallel oil circuit flow law. However, when the difference in nozzle diameters is large, or the diameter of the spray pipe itself is small and the liquid flow resistance is large, the spray pipe should be segmented and the frictional resistance of the pipe fluid flow should be included.

[0067] Step S102: Calculate the frictional pressure loss based on the diameter and length of the pipelines of the components, calculate the local pressure loss based on the diameter changes and bends of the pipelines of the components, establish a third - type model, and obtain the third sub - module;

[0068] By way of example rather than limitation, the frictional pressure loss and the local pressure loss are calculated through the formula for calculating the frictional resistance along the flow of the fluid and the formula for calculating the local resistance respectively.

[0069] Among them, the cross - section of some pipelines is not circular. For example, the cooling oil duct inside the stator of the power motor. When manufacturing the stator silicon steel sheets, local holes (non - circular) are formed by stamping on the silicon steel sheets, and the oil duct is formed after multiple sheets are stacked. The equivalent hydraulic radius method is used to calculate the equivalent circular pipe of the non - circular cross - section pipeline, and the equivalent circular pipe is used for calculation. This method takes into account the liquid flow characteristics of the pipeline, and the calculation result is relatively close to the actual pipeline.

[0070] Specifically, if the cross - section of the pipeline of the component is circular, calculate the frictional pressure loss according to the diameter and length of the pipeline;

[0071] If the cross - section of the pipeline of the component is non - circular, use the equivalent hydraulic radius method to calculate the radius of the pipeline. The formula is as follows:

[0072]

[0073] Among them, is the radius of the pipeline, is the cross - sectional area of the pipeline, is the perimeter of the cross - section of the pipeline,

[0074] Calculate the frictional pressure loss according to the radius and length of the pipeline.

[0075] In addition, the local pressure loss of the pipeline includes the pressure loss due to diameter changes and the pressure loss caused by pipeline bends. The number of bends of the pipeline is calculated according to the pipeline orientation, that is, by combining the number of bends with the layout direction of the components, the shell or the pipeline orientation, a more accurate estimated value can be obtained.

[0076] Step S103: Based on the characteristics of the hydraulic oil, establish a fourth - type model for the characteristic curves of the density and viscosity of the hydraulic oil varying with temperature, and obtain the fourth sub - module.

[0077] Step S11: According to the path and channel network of the hydraulic oil flow in the transmission, reuse and connect the first sub - module, the second sub - module, the third sub - module, and the fourth sub - module as needed to form a component module;

[0078] Step S12: Based on the component module, determine the pressure feedback method and the flow distribution method, and establish an initial cooling system model;

[0079] Specifically, based on the component modules, pressure information generated by the components is collected, including hydraulic pressure, pressure along the way, local pressure, and liquid resistance generated by each section of the oil circuit through which the hydraulic oil flows. Forward feedback is carried out section by section to determine the pressure feedback method, and the outlet pressure of the oil pump is formed at the oil pump.

[0080] Among them, the connection methods of the oil circuit include the series connection method of the oil circuit and the parallel connection method of the oil circuit. The series connection method of the oil circuit is that the flow rate of each section of the pipeline remains unchanged, and the total liquid resistance is the sum of the liquid resistances of each section of the pipeline. The parallel connection method of the oil circuit is that the liquid resistance of each section of the pipeline is the same, and the total flow rate is the sum of the flow rates of each section of the pipeline.

[0081] In addition, the pressure information also includes the liquid resistance of functional components, the pressure loss generated by the spraying of the spray pipe, etc.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows the schematic diagram of the generation and forward feedback of pressure. Starting from the oil pump module 21, combining information such as the rotational speed of the input rotational speed sensor 22 and the oil temperature of the oil temperature sensor 23, after a series of calculations and signal processing by the pre-injection flow resistance calculation module 24, the spray resistance calculation module 25, etc., the pressure result is finally output by the cumulative pressure signal module 27. Among them, the sampling delay module 26 participates in the signal processing process and is used to analyze the mechanism of pressure generation and feedback.

[0083] Step S13, optimize the flow distribution method, and then optimize the initial cooling system model to obtain the target cooling system model.

[0084] The optimization steps of the flow distribution method specifically include:

[0085] By changing the key parameters, the key parameters include the pipeline diameter or cross-sectional shape, the aperture of the oil nozzle, adjust the hydraulic resistance of each part of the cooling system model, so as to optimize the flow distribution method.

[0086] In addition, the optimization steps of the flow distribution method also include:

[0087] If the oil circuit connection method is the parallel connection method of the oil circuit, judge whether the oil circuit is in a steady state or a non-steady state;

[0088] If the oil circuit is in a steady state, the pressure drops of each branch of the oil circuit are equal;

[0089] If the oil circuit is in a non-steady state, adjust the flow rate of the branch until the pressure drops of each branch of the oil circuit are equal to reach a steady state.

[0090] It should be noted that for the shunt situation with two branches, at the initial distribution ratio, both branches obtain a certain flow rate. This flow rate flows through their respective pipelines, and the liquid resistance generates the pressure drop of this section. Under steady-state flow, the pressure drops of the two pipelines are equal. Under unsteady state, the liquid resistances of the two pipelines are different, and the liquid flow always tends to flow to the branch with a smaller liquid resistance; after the flow rate increases, the liquid resistance increases immediately and finally reaches a steady state.

[0091] Furthermore, by calculating the pressure at the bifurcation point from the ends of the two branches in reverse, if the two pressure values are not equal, it is determined that the oil circuit is in an unsteady state, and the imbalance coefficient of the oil circuit is calculated. The formula is as follows:

[0092]

[0093] Where, is the imbalance coefficient, is the liquid resistance of branch 1 at time t, is the liquid resistance of branch 2 at time t;

[0094] According to the said imbalance coefficient, the flow rate of the branch is adjusted until the pressure drops of all branches of the oil circuit are equal and a steady state is reached. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0095]

[0096] Where, is the flow rate of branch 1 at time t + 1, is the flow rate of branch 2 at time t + 1, is the flow rate of branch 1 at time t, is the flow rate of branch 2 at time t.

[0097] It should be noted that obviously, -1 ≤ ≤ 1, but there is an extreme case where = ±1. At this time, the model may fall into oscillation during operation. To avoid this situation, 0.8 is used to replace . This adjustment method always keeps each instantaneous data within the effective value range and can also make the system quickly approach the steady state. Compared with the ordinary "PID" control (Proportional-Integral-Derivative control) method, the calculation speed is faster.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 3 which shows the schematic diagram of the value calculation. p1 and p2 are used as the pressure signals of the two input branches. First, they enter the two Add8 adder modules 31 and Add9 adder module 32 respectively for addition and subtraction operations. The operation results enter the Divide multiplication and division module 33 for multiplication and division operations, then pass through the Gain gain module 34, and then through the Unit Delay9 sampling delay module 35, and finally output Value

[0099] Figure 4 Schematic diagram for calculating the actual flow adjustment value. At the input signal 1 module 42, input value. At the input signal 2 module 41, input the main oil path flow rate q. After passing through the signal processing module 43, obtain "p_F1" and "p_F3". A part of "p_F3" is multiplied by the value through the multiplication module 44. The result obtained is subjected to addition and subtraction operations with the result obtained after processing by the Subtract19 module 45 for another part, and the adjusted branch flow rate "qa" of one branch is output; a part of "p_F3" is

[0100] multiplied by the

[0101] Value through the multiplication module 44. The result obtained is operated with "p_F1" through the Add8 module 46, and the adjusted branch flow rate "qb" of another branch is output.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows the system for constructing a cooling system model in the second embodiment of the present invention. The system includes:

[0103] Sub-module construction module 100, which is used to collect the hydraulic curves, parameter data, pipeline data information of components, and the characteristic curves of hydraulic oil, and respectively establish the first sub-module, the second sub-module, the third sub-module, and the fourth sub-module;

[0104] Component module construction module 200, which is used to reuse and connect the first sub-module, the second sub-module, the third sub-module, and the fourth sub-module as needed according to the path and channel network of the hydraulic oil flow in the transmission to form a component module;

[0105] Initial model construction module 300, which is used to determine the pressure feedback method and the flow distribution method based on the component module, and establish an initial cooling system model;

[0106] The target model construction module 400 is configured to optimize the flow distribution method, and further optimize the initial cooling system model to obtain a target cooling system model.

[0107] In summary, for the system for constructing a cooling system model in the above embodiments of the present invention, component information is collected through sub-module construction and component module construction to establish a component module. The pressure feedback method and the flow distribution method are determined through initial model construction to establish an initial cooling system model.
