Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted refrigerators, and particularly relates to a heat dissipation control method of a vehicle-mounted refrigerator. BACKGROUND

[0002] A patent with a publication number of CN118347232A disclosed by the same applicant of the present application discloses a direct-current fan control method and a control system of a vehicle-mounted refrigerator. The control method comprises the following steps: calculating a rotation speed standard range according to a rotation speed standard value and a tolerance value; obtaining a rotation speed calibration value; setting the rotation speed calibration value as the rotation speed standard value; detecting a compressor pipeline temperature; and when the detected temperature is greater than a first temperature threshold, setting a current rotation speed of the direct-current fan as [rotation speed calibration value*(output percentage+10%)]. The scheme firstly sets the rotation speed calibration value of the direct-current fan in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator in the rotation speed standard range. During the operation of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator, whether the rotation speed of the direct-current fan needs to be changed is determined by detecting the compressor pipeline temperature. When the compressor pipeline temperature is detected to be too high, the current rotation speed of the direct-current fan is set as [rotation speed calibration value*(output percentage+10%)], so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the compressor.

[0003] The above technical scheme changes the rotation speed of a single fan to adapt to a high-temperature environment and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. However, in actual application, when the environmental temperature continuously increases, the airflow provided by the single fan system will reach an upper limit. Simply increasing the rotation speed of the single fan can increase the heat dissipation effect to a certain extent, but will cause the problem of shortening the service life of the fan.

[0004] Therefore, the heat dissipation effect of the above technical scheme still has room for improvement. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a heat dissipation control method of a vehicle-mounted refrigerator which can stably operate under high-temperature working conditions.

The control method comprises the following steps: when the temperature of the compressor chamber or the environment increases to a certain temperature, the rotation speed of the second fan is greater than that of the first fan.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical scheme, a temperature sensor is further installed in the compressor chamber, the temperature sensor is in communication connection with the control module, and the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature in the compressor chamber.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the control method comprises the following steps: S1, the compressor module starts running, synchronously sends a speed controller start instruction to the control module, and shifts to step S2.

[0009] S2, after the speed controller receives the start instruction, the first fan runs at an initial basic speed N1, and the fan on the air outlet side runs at an initial target speed N2, and shifts to step S3.

[0010] S3, the temperature sensor collects the temperature T in the compressor compartment in real time, the speed controller has a preset low temperature threshold T1, a medium temperature threshold T2 and a high temperature threshold T3, T3>T2>T1, the speed controller judges whether T is lower than the preset low temperature threshold T1, if yes, the current speed is maintained, and shifts to step S7; if not, it shifts to step S4.

[0011] S4, the speed controller judges whether the temperature T in the compressor compartment is T1≤T

[0012] S5, the speed controller judges whether the temperature T in the compressor compartment is T2≤T

[0013] S6, when the temperature T in the compartment is T≥T3, the fan on the air inlet side runs at the rated upper limit speed, the fan on the air outlet side runs at the rated upper limit speed, and a high temperature warning signal is triggered at the same time, and shifts to step S7.

[0014] S7, the temperature change in the compressor compartment is continuously detected, if T decreases from higher than T1 to lower than T1-ΔT, the fan on the air inlet side returns to the initial basic speed N1, the fan on the air outlet side returns to the initial target speed N2, and stable operation is maintained; if the temperature continuously stays in the corresponding interval, the current speed is maintained, and steps S3-S7 are executed in a loop. As a further improvement of the above technical solution, in step S4, the ratio is that for every 1℃ increase of the temperature T in the compressor compartment, N1' increases by 3% of N1, and N2' increases by 4% of N2, to ensure that the speed of the fan on the air outlet side is higher than that of the fan on the air inlet side.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, N1 is 1600-1800 rpm, and N2=N1×(1.2-1.3).

[0016] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the low temperature threshold T1 is 75-85 DEG C, the medium temperature threshold T2 is 85-95 DEG C, and the high temperature threshold T3 is 95-105 DEG C.

[0017] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, in step S7, the DT is a cooling back difference, and the cooling back difference ranges from 5 to 8 DEG C.

[0018] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the first fan rated upper limit speed is 1800-2000 rpm, and the second fan rated upper limit speed is 2000-2300 rpm.

[0019] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the speed variation rate of the first fan and the second fan is not more than 50 rpm / s.

[0020] The present application has the following advantages: the present application installs the first fan and the second fan at the air inlet and the air outlet in the compressor chamber, when the compressor chamber or the ambient temperature is high, the speed of the second fan is greater than that of the first fan, the higher speed of the air outlet side can quickly remove the heat in the chamber, and the hot gas accumulation is avoided; the lower speed of the air inlet side can avoid excessive air inlet to cause airflow turbulence in the chamber, reduce wind resistance loss, form an airflow gradient of low inlet and high outlet, make the air flow more smooth, the heat exchange efficiency is more stable, and the service life of the fan is prolonged.
