Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In order to meet the cooling requirements of the battery, a thermal management unit needs to be used to dissipate heat from the battery. At present, the expansion valve in the thermal management unit for a vehicle is a mechanical expansion valve. The mechanical expansion valve is opened by a temperature sensing bag. The adjustment is not sensitive, and cannot adapt to the refrigerating capacity adjustment in a wide temperature range. In a low temperature environment, for example, at -35 degrees Celsius, when the thermal management unit has a heat dissipation requirement, the mechanical expansion valve cannot be opened in time, so that the high pressure end cannot be gasified in time, and the low pressure end is in a vacuum state for a long time, and the cooling requirement of the thermal management unit cannot be normally met. When the battery temperature fluctuates greatly, the mechanical expansion valve can adjust the valve opening degree through the temperature sensing bag, and has a lag in control, and cannot achieve the best cooling effect.

[0059] Figure 1 is a control method flow chart of the vehicle electronic expansion valve provided by the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 The control method of the vehicle electronic expansion valve provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises:
[0060] S101, obtaining the battery temperature of the whole vehicle and the first side pressure value of the compressor.
[0061] Specifically, the battery temperature of the whole vehicle can be obtained by the temperature sensor installed in the battery in the vehicle to obtain the temperature value of the battery in the whole vehicle; the compressor is responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioning system in the whole vehicle, and the first side pressure value of the compressor can be obtained by the pressure sensor installed on the high-pressure side of the compressor. At the same time, the battery temperature and the first side pressure value of the compressor are obtained, and since the high-pressure side pressure value in the compressor is more sensitive than the low-pressure side pressure value, the first side pressure value of the compressor obtained here is preferably the high-pressure side pressure value.
[0062] S102, determining the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the battery temperature, the first side pressure value and the opening degree characteristic table of the electronic expansion valve.
[0063] The electronic expansion valve is a precise flow control device in the refrigeration or air conditioning system of the whole vehicle, and the flow of refrigerant is accurately adjusted by controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve; the opening degree characteristic table of the electronic expansion valve is a table of environmental test temperature, battery test temperature, first side test pressure value of the compressor and basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, which is prepared in advance by actual experimental test data, which reflects the different basic opening degrees of the electronic expansion valve corresponding to different battery test temperatures and different first side test pressure values of the compressor. For example, when the environmental temperature is-10℃, the battery test temperature is 5℃, and the first side test pressure value of the compressor is 150psi, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted to 30%; when the environmental temperature is 0℃, the battery test temperature is 15℃, and the first side test pressure value of the compressor is 180psi, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted to 30%; when the environmental temperature is 25℃, the battery test temperature is 30℃, and the first side test pressure value of the compressor is 200psi, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted to 50%; when the environmental temperature is 40℃, the battery test temperature is 45℃, and the first side test pressure value of the compressor is 220psi, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted to 60%. The corresponding relationship between each environmental temperature, battery test temperature, first side test pressure value of the compressor and basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is measured to form the opening degree characteristic table of the electronic expansion valve.
[0064] Specifically, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined according to the battery temperature (i.e. the actual battery temperature of the whole vehicle at this moment), the first side pressure value (i.e. the actual first side pressure value of the compressor of the whole vehicle at this moment) and the opening degree characteristic table of the electronic expansion valve (i.e. the opening degree characteristic table of the electronic expansion valve prepared in advance by the test data as described above), so as to accurately adjust the air conditioning system of the whole vehicle.
[0065] S103, determining the actual growth rate of the first side pressure value according to the relationship between the first side pressure value and the first threshold value.
[0066] Specifically, the first side pressure value is the compressor first side pressure value actually obtained by the pressure sensor in the above step S102, and the first threshold value can be a lower limit value of the second side pressure value of the compressor, wherein the first side pressure value of the compressor is greater than the second side pressure value of the compressor, that is, the first side pressure value of the compressor is the high pressure side pressure value of the compressor, and the second side pressure value of the compressor is the low pressure side pressure value of the compressor.
[0067] When the first side pressure value of the compressor is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the actual growth rate of the first side pressure value is calculated according to the first side pressure value of the compressor;
[0068] When the first side pressure value of the compressor is less than the first threshold value, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve at this time is the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve (that is, the output opening degree of the electronic expansion valve). The reason why the first threshold value is the lower limit value of the second side pressure value of the compressor is that in the prior art, the high pressure side is compared with the upper limit value of the high pressure side, and the low pressure side is compared with the lower limit value of the low pressure side. The electronic expansion valve control method provided in the embodiment of the application creatively compares the first side pressure value (that is, the high pressure side pressure value) of the compressor with the lower limit value of the second side pressure value (that is, the low pressure side pressure value of the compressor). For example, when the pressure value of the high pressure side of the compressor rises to close to the upper limit value of the pressure, it is too late to adjust the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, and the high pressure side pressure value will still exceed the upper limit value of the high pressure side pressure value (that is, the prior art solution). Therefore, the high pressure side pressure value is compared with the lower limit value (that is, the first threshold value) of the rapid decrease of the low pressure side, and when the growth rate is too fast, the opening degree value of the electronic expansion valve is corrected, so that the high pressure side pressure value of the compressor will not exceed the upper limit value of the high pressure side.
[0069] S104, determining the first correction opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the actual growth rate of the first side pressure value.
[0070] Specifically, the first correction opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined according to the actual growth rate of the first side pressure value of the compressor determined in the above step S103. For example, the first side pressure value of the compressor is 150 psi, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is 50%, and when the calculated actual growth rate of the first side pressure value is 10 psi / min, the first correction opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted to 10%.
[0071] S105, determining the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the basic opening degree and the first correction opening degree.
[0072] Specifically, the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined according to the basic opening degree and the first correction opening degree determined in steps S102 and S104 respectively, for example, the first correction opening degree determined in step S104 is 10%, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is 50%, and the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined as: 10% (i.e. the first correction opening degree) + 50% (the basic opening degree) = 60%, that is, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is adjusted from the basic opening degree 50% to 60% to meet the cooling effect of the vehicle air conditioning system.
[0073] The control method of the electronic expansion valve for vehicles provided by the embodiment of the application uses an electronic expansion valve to replace the mechanical expansion valve in the prior art, corrects the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve based on the battery temperature, the ambient temperature and the high-pressure side pressure value of the compressor, and determines the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve through the basic opening degree and the corrected opening degree, so that the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled in advance when the battery has a temperature rising trend, without having to wait until the battery temperature fluctuates greatly to adjust the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve, thereby achieving the best cooling effect.
[0074] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment of the application, the embodiment of the application further refines the determination of the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the basic opening degree and the first correction opening degree, Figure 2 is another flowchart of the control method of the electronic expansion valve for vehicles provided by the embodiment of the application, with reference to Figure 2 The control method of the electronic expansion valve provided by the embodiment of the application further comprises:
[0075] S201, obtaining the battery temperature of the vehicle and the first side pressure value of the compressor.
[0076] S202, determining the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the battery temperature, the first side pressure value and the opening degree characteristic table of the electronic expansion valve.
[0077] S203, determining the actual growth rate of the first side pressure value according to the relationship between the first side pressure value and the first threshold value.
[0078] S204, determining the first correction opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the actual growth rate of the first side pressure value.
[0079] S205, determining the actual growth rate of the second side pressure value according to the relationship between the second side pressure value and the second threshold value.
[0080] Specifically, the second side pressure value can be the second side pressure value of the compressor obtained by the pressure sensor, and the second threshold value can be the upper limit value of the first side pressure value of the compressor.
[0081] The second threshold value is an upper limit value of the first side pressure value of the compressor. In the prior art, the low pressure side is compared with the lower limit value of the low pressure side. The electronic expansion valve control method provided in the embodiment compares the second side pressure value (i.e. the low pressure side pressure value) of the compressor with the lower limit value of the first side pressure value (i.e. the high pressure side pressure value of the compressor). For example, when the pressure value of the low pressure side of the compressor decreases to approach the lower limit value of the pressure, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve has already been adjusted, and the low pressure side pressure value is still lower than the lower limit value of the low pressure side pressure value (i.e. the prior art solution). Therefore, the low pressure side pressure value is compared with the upper limit value of the rapid increase of the high pressure side (i.e. the second threshold value). When the decrease rate is too fast, the opening degree value of the electronic expansion valve is corrected, so that the low pressure side pressure value of the compressor will not be lower than the lower limit value of the low pressure side.
[0082] S206, determining the second correction opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the actual decrease rate of the second side pressure value.
[0083] Specifically, the second correction opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined according to the actual decrease rate of the second side pressure value determined in step S103. For example, the second side pressure value of the compressor is 150 psi, the basic opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is 50%, and the actual decrease rate of the second side pressure value is 5 psi / min. The second correction opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is -5%.
[0084] S207, determining the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the basic opening degree, the first correction opening degree and the second correction opening degree.
[0085] Specifically, the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is determined according to the basic opening degree, the first correction opening degree and the second correction opening degree determined in steps S202, S204 and S206. For example, the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is 45% (basic opening degree 50%+first correction opening degree 10%+second correction opening degree -5%).
[0086] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment further refines the determination of the final opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the basic opening degree, the first correction opening degree and the second correction opening degree.

[0092] S306, determining a second corrected opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the actual decreasing rate of the second side pressure value.
[0093] S307, obtaining an ambient temperature of the whole vehicle, a charging current value of the battery and a discharging current value of the battery.
[0094] Specifically, the ambient temperature of the whole vehicle is obtained, which can be obtained by a temperature sensor installed on the surface of the vehicle body; the charging current value of the battery of the whole vehicle and the discharging current value of the battery of the whole vehicle can be obtained by a Hall current sensor installed on the battery.
[0095] S308, determining a charging heat of the battery according to the ambient temperature and the charging current value; determining a discharging heat of the battery according to the ambient temperature and the discharging current value.
[0096] Specifically, the charging heat can be determined based on the relationship between the ambient temperature and the charging current value, and the discharging heat can be determined based on the relationship between the ambient temperature and the discharging current value. For example, the charging heat and the discharging heat of the battery can be calculated by the formula S=I 2 ×R×T, wherein S is the charging / discharging heat, I is the battery internal resistance during charging / discharging, and T is the ambient temperature.
[0097] S309, determining a total heat of the battery according to the charging heat and the discharging heat.

[0099] Optionally, the total heat of the battery of the whole vehicle can be calculated by formula (I):
