Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent heat dissipation, and particularly to a method for intelligently controlling the driving of a cooling fan. Background Art

[0002] In a forklift motor control system, a large amount of heat is often generated when the motor controller is running. In order to timely and fully dissipate the heat, a cooling fan is generally added to the controller. With the development of modern power units such as inverters and converters towards high-density integration, the switching losses and conduction losses generated by the field effect transistors during their operation increase exponentially. The traditional constant-speed heat dissipation scheme has significant defects: under high-load conditions, if the loss continuously exceeds the loss threshold but the lowest fan speed is still maintained, it will cause the device junction temperature to exceed the safe range, leading to the risk of thermal failure; while excessive heat dissipation at low loads causes energy waste. Power loss refers to the power consumption lost during the conversion of energy input and output in a certain power grid circuit.

[0003] A motor controller, abbreviated as an electronic control, refers to a master control device that changes the wiring of the main circuit or control circuit and changes the resistance value in the circuit in a predetermined order to control the starting, speed regulation, braking, and reverse of the motor. It consists of a program counter, an instruction register, an instruction decoder, a timing generator, and an operation controller. It is the "decision-making body" that issues commands, that is, it completes the operation of coordinating and commanding the entire computer system.

[0004] PWM drive, that is, pulse width modulation, is a very effective technology for controlling analog circuits using the digital signals of a microcontroller. It is widely used in many fields from measurement, communication to power control and conversion.

[0005] The loss threshold and the loss duration standard are used as the basis for the microprocessor inside the motor controller to determine the PWM duty cycle mode for adjusting the voltage of the high-power output port. When the loss is higher than the threshold and the loss duration exceeds the standard, the PWM duty cycle increases, the voltage of the high-power output port increases, and the fan runs faster. On the contrary, when the loss is lower than the threshold and the loss duration exceeds the standard, the PWM duty cycle decreases, the voltage of the high-power output port decreases, and the fan runs slower.

[0006] Patent No. CN201810772109.5 discloses an intelligent heat dissipation system driven by a hydraulic motor and its heat dissipation method. The system includes a composite radiator, a radiator tail frame, and a hydraulic system. The composite radiator is inclined and installed on the horizontal plane at the top of the radiator tail frame. A number of air duct holes are provided on the radiator tail frame. The composite radiator includes heat dissipation fins, a hurricane hood, a fan, and a fan guard net covering the outside of the fan. The heat dissipation fins include intercooling fins, water-cooling fins, transmission oil cooling fins, and hydraulic oil cooling fins arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The hydraulic system includes a hydraulic motor, a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic oil tank, and a proportional solenoid valve. The above invention can not only meet the cooling requirements of the vehicle, but also achieve the purposes of energy conservation and noise reduction, and has the characteristics of high space utilization rate and good heat dissipation performance.

[0007] Patent No. CN202210706078.X discloses an intelligent heat dissipation control method for a vehicle electric drive system, which solves the technical problems of how to improve the performance of the heat dissipation system for electric vehicles, make the heat dissipation system quickly and accurately respond to the heat dissipation requirements of the electric drive system, reduce the energy consumption of the heat dissipation system for the whole vehicle, and improve the NVH level of the vehicle. The above invention integrates the heat dissipation control system with the vehicle control system. The vehicle controller collects various parameters of the electric drive system and environmental temperature and other information in real time. According to the collected information, the vehicle controller adjusts various parameters of the heat dissipation system in real time through corresponding control strategies, such as the start and stop of the electronic water pump and the electronic fan in the heat dissipation system, the water flow rate of the heat dissipation system, and the rotation speed of the electronic fan. The heat dissipation system can dynamically, quickly and accurately respond to the heat dissipation requirements of the electric drive system, thus avoiding damage to the components of the electric drive system due to overheating caused by untimely response of the heat dissipation system, or increasing the energy consumption and cost of the whole vehicle caused by excessive heat dissipation.

[0008] Although the above patents can use a heat dissipation fan to dissipate heat from the motor controller of an industrial vehicle; however, the working mode of the traditional fan has nothing to do with the working state of the electronic control. After the electronic control is turned on, the fan always runs at the maximum speed, resulting in waste of electric energy. Moreover, the field effect transistor is the main power component of the electronic control inverter circuit, causing conduction loss and switching loss, and these losses will be converted into heat, causing the electronic control to heat up.

[0032] In the present invention, the working process of the multi - level speed - regulation mechanism is as follows: A: Establish a thermal inertia network model of the inverter circuit according to the ambient temperature and the junction temperature of the field - effect transistor, in combination with the loss - power threshold and the loss - time threshold; B: Simulate and verify the thermal inertia network model with the static - pressure - air - volume curve to obtain the air - volume - thermal - inertia - time curve; C: Divide the speed - regulation intervals by using fuzzy clustering analysis according to the duty - cycle - air - volume mapping table: In the steep - change region where the air - volume change rate is greater than or equal to the air - volume threshold, set a dense grading with every m% duty cycle as one grade; In the gentle region where the air volume change rate is less than the air volume threshold, a wide-interval grading with a duty cycle of 2m% per grade is set. D: Discretize the air volume-thermal inertia-time curve into a heat dissipation state space equation, predict the real-time power loss, and generate a prediction result. E: According to the prediction result and in combination with the speed regulation range, pre-adjust the PWM duty cycle M τ cycles in advance, and then complete the multi-stage speed regulation of the fan.

[0033] Embodiment: The input power unit and output power unit of the controller use the temperature compensation algorithm according to the temperature sensor to correct the sampling offset error in real time. The input power unit uses the synchronous sampling strategy to collect the voltage signal and current signal on the DC side of the inverter circuit in real time to obtain the input voltage signal and input current signal. The output power unit uses the synchronous sampling strategy to collect the voltage signal and current signal on the AC side of the inverter circuit in real time to obtain the output voltage signal and output current signal.

[0034] The operation unit of the controller calculates the DC side power according to the single-phase voltage and single-phase current in combination with the dead time compensation coefficient. The operation unit calculates the AC side power according to the three-phase voltage and three-phase current, and converts the three-phase coordinate system on the AC side to a two-phase rotating coordinate system using the Clarke-Park transformation algorithm. The loss calculation unit of the controller calculates the power loss of the electric control inverter circuit according to the motor operation mode to obtain the power loss value. Temperature compensation is performed on the power loss value according to the junction temperature of the field effect transistor to obtain the real-time power loss. The moving time integration method is used to calculate the time of the power loss of the electric control inverter circuit to obtain the loss duration.

[0035] According to the safe operating area curve of the field effect transistor and in combination with the heat resistance of the radiator, calculate the loss of the field effect transistor in the electric control inverter circuit to obtain the steady-state allowable loss. Dynamically correct the steady-state allowable loss according to the ambient temperature to obtain the loss power threshold. Use a sliding window to classify and count the occupancy time of the loss power threshold to obtain the loss time threshold. The monitoring and display unit of the controller displays the loss power threshold and the loss time threshold, and at the same time performs a dual-mode comparison with the real-time power loss and the loss duration, and stores them in the storage unit of the controller: If the real-time power loss is higher than the loss power threshold and the loss duration is greater than or equal to the loss time threshold, then control the PWM duty cycle to increase and the voltage of the high-power output port of the electric control to increase. If the real-time power loss is lower than the loss power threshold and the loss duration is greater than or equal to the loss time threshold, then control the PWM duty cycle to decrease and the voltage of the electronically controlled high-power output port to decrease; If the real-time power loss is equal to the loss power threshold, then set the upper and lower threshold bands of the loss time threshold and keep both the PWM duty cycle and the voltage of the electronically controlled high-power output port unchanged; If the real-time power loss is not equal to the loss power threshold or the loss duration is less than the loss time threshold, then keep both the PWM duty cycle and the voltage of the electronically controlled high-power output port unchanged and set a fast response window to suppress the transient peak loss of the voltage.

The intelligent control method for driving a cooling fan according to claim 1, characterized in that: The working process of the multi-stage speed regulation mechanism is as follows: A: Establish a thermal inertia network model of the inverter circuit according to the ambient temperature and the junction temperature of the field effect transistor in combination with the loss power threshold and the loss time threshold; B: Simulate and verify the thermal inertia network model with the static pressure-air volume curve to obtain an air volume-thermal inertia-time curve; C: Divide the speed regulation interval by using fuzzy clustering analysis according to the duty cycle-air volume mapping table: In the steep change region where the air volume change rate is greater than or equal to the air volume threshold, set a dense grading with each m% duty cycle as one grade; In the gentle region where the air volume change rate is less than the air volume threshold, set a wide interval grading with each 2m% duty cycle as one grade; D: Discretize the air volume-thermal inertia-time curve into a heat dissipation state space equation and predict the real-time power loss to generate a prediction result; E: Pre-adjust the PWM duty cycle in advance by M τ cycles according to the prediction result in combination with the speed regulation interval, thereby completing the multi-stage speed regulation of the fan.
