Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and the widespread application of intelligent in-vehicle systems, the usage frequency of in-vehicle electrical appliances such as the entertainment system, intelligent control, and air conditioner in automobiles has increased significantly. This undoubtedly leads to a substantial increase in power consumption. Therefore, the driving range of pure electric vehicles is significantly affected, and the fuel consumption of traditional fuel vehicles also increases. A vortex tube can compress air into cold and hot air. By blowing air through the air inlet, cold and hot air will be generated at both ends after passing through the vortex tube. The most demanded energy in a vehicle is the air conditioning system. If the hot and cold air can be applied to the vehicle's refrigeration and heating systems, the power consumption or fuel consumption of the vehicle can be greatly reduced.

[0003] In related technologies, the vortex tube is usually directly used as a device to replace vehicle refrigeration or heating, without considering the actual use problems of the energy generated by the vortex tube. For example, the temperature range of the hot air discharged from the hot air vortex tube is usually between 127°C and 180°C, and the temperature of the cold air discharged from the vortex tube can reach minus 46 degrees Celsius, or even lower. However, the actual temperature used in a vehicle is between ten and thirty-something degrees Celsius, resulting in a waste of energy as the energy generated by the vortex tube cannot be fully utilized.

[0024] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0025] The vehicle and its control method and device according to the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0026] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 the drawings, the vehicle includes at least one vortex tube. The at least one vortex tube includes an air inlet pipe, a cold air pipe, and a hot air pipe. The air inlet of the air inlet pipe is in the same direction as the vehicle's forward direction. The cold air pipe is connected to at least one cold storage device, and the hot air pipe is connected to at least one heat storage device. Among them, the cold storage device is used to store the cold air output by the cold air pipe of the vortex tube, and the heat storage device is used to store the hot air output by the hot air pipe of the vortex tube. It should be noted that the vehicle may also be provided with multiple vortex tubes, and the cold air pipe may be connected to multiple cold storage devices, and the hot air pipe may be connected to multiple heat storage devices.

[0027] Figure 2 Flowchart of the control method of the vehicle according to some embodiments of the present application. Referring to Figure 2 the drawings, the control method of the vehicle according to the embodiments of the present application may include the following steps:

[0028] S110, obtaining the energy storage state of the cold storage device and / or the heat storage device.

[0029] Specifically, in the case where the vehicle needs cold air, for example, using cold air to lower the temperature inside the vehicle, it is necessary to obtain the energy storage state of the cold storage device; in the case where the vehicle needs hot air, for example, using hot air to raise the temperature inside the vehicle, it is necessary to obtain the energy storage state of the heat storage device; in the case where the vehicle needs both cold air and hot air, for example, using hot air to raise the temperature inside the vehicle while using cold air to lower the temperature of the power battery pack, it is necessary to obtain the energy storage states of the cold storage device and the heat storage device simultaneously.

[0030] The energy storage states of the cold storage device and the heat storage device include the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device, which can be obtained by installing sensors and monitoring equipment to collect relevant parameters of the cold storage device in real time. For example, temperature sensors are used to collect the temperature data of the cold storage device and the heat storage device, and flow sensors are used to detect the cold air volume input into the cold storage device and the hot air volume input into the heat storage device. The temperature data of the cold storage device and the cold air volume input into the cold storage device, as well as the temperature data of the heat storage device and the hot air volume input into the heat storage device, are respectively input into corresponding preset formulas to calculate the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device.

[0031] It should be noted that there is no specific limitation on the way to obtain the energy storage states of the cold storage device and the heat storage device here.

[0032] S120, control the vehicle according to the energy storage state.

[0033] Specifically, the energy storage states of the cold storage device and the heat storage device include the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device. When the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device is relatively high, the vehicle can be controlled to use the cold air in the cold storage device. For example, the vehicle can be controlled to use the cold air to cool the interior of the vehicle or to cool the power battery pack. When the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is relatively high, the vehicle can be controlled to use the hot air in the heat storage device. For example, the vehicle can be controlled to use the hot air to heat the interior of the vehicle.

[0034] This application collects the cold air and hot air generated by the vortex tube, stores them in corresponding energy storage devices respectively, monitors the energy storage states of the energy storage devices in real time, and accurately allocates and utilizes the stored cold air and hot air resources according to the actual needs of the vehicle. In this way, not only the energy utilization efficiency is significantly improved, but also the potential losses caused by energy waste are effectively reduced, providing strong support for the energy-saving operation of the vehicle.

[0035] In some embodiments, the energy storage state includes the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device. Controlling the vehicle according to the energy storage state includes: when the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device is greater than or equal to the first preset cold storage capacity threshold, and / or the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is greater than or equal to the first preset heat storage capacity threshold, controlling the cold storage device and / or the heat storage device to provide energy for the vehicle.

[0036] In some embodiments, the above method further includes: when the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device is less than the first preset cold storage capacity threshold, and / or the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is less than the first preset heat storage capacity threshold, controlling the vehicle battery or engine to provide energy for the vehicle. The first preset cold storage capacity threshold and the first preset heat storage capacity threshold can be calibrated according to the actual situation, and there is no specific limitation here.

[0037] Specifically, the cooling capacity of the cold storage device can be compared with the first preset cooling capacity threshold to determine whether the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is sufficient to provide cold air for the vehicle. When it is determined that the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is sufficient to provide cold air for the vehicle, the cold storage device is controlled to provide cold air for the vehicle; otherwise, the vehicle battery or engine is controlled to provide cold air for the vehicle. Similarly, the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device can be compared with the first preset heat storage capacity threshold to determine whether the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is sufficient to provide hot air for the vehicle. When it is determined that the heat storage device is sufficient to provide hot air for the vehicle, the heat storage device is controlled to provide hot air for the vehicle; otherwise, the vehicle battery or engine is controlled to provide cold air for the vehicle.

[0038] Exemplarily, if the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is greater than or equal to the first preset cooling capacity threshold, it indicates that the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is sufficient to provide cold air for the vehicle, and then the cold storage device is controlled to provide cold air for the vehicle. If the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is less than the first preset cooling capacity threshold, it indicates that the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is insufficient to provide cold air for the vehicle, and then the vehicle battery or engine is controlled to provide cold air for the vehicle. Or, if the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is greater than or equal to the first preset heat storage capacity threshold, it indicates that the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is sufficient to provide hot air for the vehicle, and then the heat storage device is controlled to provide hot air for the vehicle. If the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is less than the first preset heat storage capacity threshold, it indicates that the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is insufficient to provide hot air for the vehicle, and then the vehicle battery or engine is controlled to provide hot air for the vehicle. Or, if both the cooling capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device are greater than or equal to the corresponding thresholds, the cold storage device and the heat storage device can be controlled to provide cold air and hot air for the vehicle.

[0039] By setting up the cold storage device and the heat storage device in this application, the cold air and hot air energy generated by the vortex tube can be efficiently stored and managed. In this way, not only the stability of the energy supply is ensured, but also the problem of energy supply fluctuations that may occur in the vortex tube under different working conditions is effectively solved. The synergistic effect of the cold storage device and the heat storage device provides a reliable backup energy source for the vehicle, enabling the vehicle to maintain stable performance under various driving conditions, thereby greatly improving the reliability of the system and the user experience.

[0040] In some embodiments, the above method further includes: when the vehicle battery or the engine-driven device enters the normal operation state, the energy input port is switched to the vehicle battery or the engine-driven device.

[0041] Specifically, the vehicle battery or the engine-driven device can be an air conditioner. When it is detected that the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is less than the first preset cooling capacity threshold, and / or the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is less than the first preset heat storage capacity threshold, the vehicle battery or engine-driven devices such as the air conditioner can be started in advance. After the devices such as the air conditioner enter the normal operation state, the energy input port is switched to the air conditioner interface.

[0042] In this way, the continuity of the cold air and / or hot air supply can be ensured to a certain extent.

[0043] In some embodiments, the above method further includes: when the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device is greater than or equal to a second preset cold storage capacity threshold, and / or the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is greater than or equal to a second preset heat storage capacity threshold, controlling the disconnection of the cold storage device and / or the heat storage device from the cold air pipe and / or the hot air pipe, and releasing or converting the energy in the cold air pipe and / or the hot air pipe into electric energy; wherein, the second preset cold storage capacity threshold is greater than the first preset cold storage capacity threshold, and the second preset heat storage capacity threshold is greater than the first preset heat storage capacity threshold. The second preset cold storage capacity threshold and the second preset heat storage capacity threshold can be calibrated according to the actual situation and are not specifically limited here.

[0044] Specifically, the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device can be compared with the second preset cold storage capacity threshold to determine whether the cold air in the cold storage device is saturated. When the cold air in the cold storage device is saturated, the cold storage device is controlled to be disconnected from the cold air pipe, and the energy in the cold air pipe is released. Similarly, the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device can be compared with the second preset heat storage capacity threshold to determine whether the hot air in the heat storage device is saturated. When the hot air in the heat storage device is saturated, the heat storage device is controlled to be disconnected from the hot air pipe, and the energy in the hot air pipe is released or converted into electric energy.

[0045] Exemplarily, if the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device is greater than or equal to the second preset cold storage capacity threshold, it indicates that the cold air in the cold storage device is saturated. Then, the cold storage device is controlled to be disconnected from the cold air pipe, and the energy in the cold air pipe is released. If the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device is less than the second preset cold storage capacity threshold, it indicates that the cold air in the cold storage device is not saturated, and there is no need to control the disconnection of the cold storage device from the cold air pipe. Or, if the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is greater than or equal to the second preset heat storage capacity threshold, it indicates that the hot air in the heat storage device is saturated. Then, the heat storage device is controlled to be disconnected from the hot air pipe, and the energy in the hot air pipe is released or converted into electric energy. If the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is less than the second preset heat storage capacity threshold, it indicates that the hot air in the heat storage device is not saturated, and there is no need to control the disconnection of the heat storage device from the hot air pipe. Or, if the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device are both greater than or equal to the corresponding thresholds, it indicates that the cold air in the cold storage device and the hot air in the heat storage device are both saturated. Then, it is necessary to control the disconnection of the cold storage device from the cold air pipe and the disconnection of the heat storage device from the hot air pipe.

[0046] In some embodiments, releasing the energy in the cold gas pipe and / or the hot gas pipe includes: when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, releasing the energy in the hot gas pipe to the vehicle driving road surface; when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature threshold, releasing the energy in the cold gas pipe to the vehicle driving road surface. Wherein, both the first preset temperature threshold and the second preset temperature threshold can be calibrated according to the actual situation. For example, the first preset temperature threshold can be 0°C, and the second preset temperature threshold can be 35°C. There is no specific limitation here.

[0047] Specifically, when the cold air in the cold accumulator is saturated, the cold air in the cold gas pipe needs to be released. For example, the cold air can be released into the air or the vehicle driving road surface; when the hot air in the heat accumulator is saturated, the hot air in the hot gas pipe needs to be released. For example, the hot air can be released into the air or the vehicle driving road surface. To further avoid energy waste, the outside ambient temperature can be detected by a temperature sensor, and according to the outside ambient temperature, it can be determined whether to release the cold air and the hot air into the air or the vehicle driving road surface.

[0048] Exemplarily, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the outside temperature is low, and the vehicle driving road surface may freeze or accumulate snow. Then, the hot air in the hot gas pipe is released onto the vehicle driving road surface to reduce the freezing of the road surface or the icing in rainy or snowy weather. At this time, if the cold air in the cold gas pipe also needs to be released, the cold air in the cold gas pipe is released into the air. If the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the outside temperature is high, and the vehicle driving road surface may be even hotter. Then, the cold air in the cold gas pipe is released onto the vehicle driving road surface to lower the road surface temperature. At this time, if the hot air in the hot gas pipe also needs to be released, the hot air in the hot gas pipe is released into the air or the hot air in the hot gas pipe is converted into electrical energy.

[0049] This application also judges and selects to release the energy in the cold gas pipe or the hot gas pipe to the vehicle driving road surface according to the real-time change of the outside ambient temperature. In this way, not only the efficient recovery and reuse of energy are realized, but also the driving environment of the vehicle is further optimized by regulating the road surface temperature, improving the driving safety and comfort.

[0050] In some embodiments, the above method further includes: during the process of controlling the vehicle battery or the engine to provide energy for the vehicle, if the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator is greater than or equal to a third preset cold storage amount threshold and the energy conversion rate of the vortex tube is greater than or equal to a preset energy conversion rate threshold, and / or the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator is greater than or equal to a third preset heat storage amount threshold and the energy conversion rate of the vortex tube is greater than or equal to a preset energy conversion rate threshold, then control the cold accumulator and / or the heat accumulator to provide energy for the vehicle. Among them, the third preset cold storage amount threshold, the third preset heat storage amount threshold, and the preset energy conversion rate threshold can all be calibrated according to the actual situation. The third preset cold storage amount threshold can be greater than or equal to the first preset cold storage amount threshold and less than the second preset cold storage amount threshold. The third preset heat storage amount threshold can be greater than or equal to the first preset heat storage amount threshold and less than the second preset heat storage amount threshold.

[0051] Specifically, during the process of controlling the cold accumulator and / or the heat accumulator to provide energy for the vehicle, it is necessary to continuously detect the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator and the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator. If it is detected that the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator is less than the first preset cold storage amount threshold, and / or the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator is less than the first preset heat storage amount threshold, then switch to the vehicle battery or the engine to provide energy for the vehicle.

[0052] During the process of controlling the vehicle battery or the engine to provide energy for the vehicle, it is also necessary to continuously detect the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator and the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator. If it is detected that the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator is greater than or equal to the first preset cold storage amount threshold, and / or the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator is greater than or equal to the first preset heat storage amount threshold, then switch to the cold accumulator and / or the heat accumulator to provide energy for the vehicle. However, if the energy conversion rate of the vortex tube is relatively low, the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator and / or the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator will quickly be lower than the corresponding thresholds, thereby resulting in frequent switching of the energy supply mode.

[0053] Therefore, during the process of controlling the vehicle battery or the engine to provide energy for the vehicle, it is necessary to continuously detect the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator, the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator, and the energy conversion rate of the vortex tube, and determine whether to switch to the cold accumulator and / or the heat accumulator to provide energy for the vehicle according to the cold storage amount of the cold accumulator, the heat storage amount of the heat accumulator, and the energy conversion rate of the vortex tube.

[0054] Exemplarily, if the cooling capacity of the cold storage device is greater than or equal to the third preset cooling capacity threshold and the energy conversion rate of the vortex tube is greater than or equal to the preset energy conversion rate threshold, then control the cold storage device to supply energy to the vehicle; otherwise, do not switch to the cold storage device to supply energy to the vehicle; or, if the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device is greater than or equal to the third preset heat storage capacity threshold and the energy conversion rate of the vortex tube is greater than or equal to the preset energy conversion rate threshold, then control the heat storage device to supply energy to the vehicle; otherwise, do not switch to the heat storage device to supply energy to the vehicle; or, if both the cooling capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device are greater than or equal to the corresponding thresholds, and the energy conversion rates of the cold air pipe and the vortex tube are also greater than or equal to the corresponding thresholds, then control the cold storage device and the heat storage device to supply energy to the vehicle.

[0055] This application monitors the cooling capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device, and combines the energy conversion efficiency of the vortex tube to determine whether to switch the energy supply of the vehicle from the battery or the engine to the cold storage device and / or the heat storage device. In this way, the frequent switching of the energy supply mode can be effectively reduced, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the vehicle operation, significantly improving the user's driving experience, and at the same time further optimizing the energy utilization efficiency, providing strong support for the energy-saving operation of the vehicle.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the air inlet pipe of the vortex tube is wavy.

[0057] Specifically, the air inlet pipe of the vortex tube adopts a wavy design, which can block large-particle impurities at the bottom of the wavy tube, facilitating cleaning or automatic cleaning.

[0058] In some embodiments, an air filtration device is included at the air inlet of the air inlet pipe.

[0059] Specifically, an air filtration device can also be set at the air inlet of the air inlet pipe to filter impurities in the air entering the vortex tube, further avoiding the blockage of the vortex tube to a certain extent.

[0060] In summary, the present application collects the cold air and hot air generated by the vortex tube, stores them in the corresponding energy storage devices respectively, monitors the energy storage state of the energy storage devices in real time, and accurately allocates and utilizes the stored cold air and hot air resources according to the actual needs of the vehicle. In this way, the stability of the energy supply is ensured, the problem of energy supply fluctuations that may occur under different working conditions of the vortex tube is effectively solved, the energy utilization efficiency is significantly improved, and the potential losses caused by energy waste are effectively reduced, providing strong support for the energy-saving operation of the vehicle; it also judges and selects to release the energy in the cold air pipe or the hot air pipe to the vehicle driving road surface according to the real-time change of the external environment temperature of the vehicle. In this way, not only the efficient recovery and reuse of energy are realized, but also the driving environment of the vehicle is further optimized by regulating the road surface temperature, improving the driving safety and comfort; in addition, by monitoring the cold storage capacity of the cold storage device and the heat storage capacity of the heat storage device, and combining with the energy conversion efficiency of the vortex tube, it is judged whether to switch the energy supply of the vehicle from the battery or the engine to the cold storage device and / or the heat storage device. In this way, the frequent switching of the energy supply mode can be effectively reduced, the smoothness and efficiency of the vehicle operation are ensured, the driving experience of the user is significantly improved, and at the same time the energy utilization efficiency is further optimized, providing strong support for the energy-saving operation of the vehicle.
