[0054] The embodiments of the present invention are written in a progressive manner.

[0055] As shown in FIG1 to FIG3, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air supply adjustment method for an air conditioning unit, which is used in a rail vehicle. The rail vehicle includes at least two passenger compartments, each of which is provided with a return air outlet;

[0056] Specifically, the rail vehicle in this embodiment is a double-decker EMU vehicle, comprising an upper passenger compartment 1, a lower passenger compartment 2, and an intermediate passenger compartment 3. The upper passenger compartment 1 and the lower passenger compartment 2 are the upper and lower layers of the EMU vehicle, and there are two intermediate passenger compartments, one on each side of the upper passenger compartment 1. The intermediate passenger compartment is a single-layer passenger compartment. A first temperature sensor 5 is provided in each of the upper passenger compartment 1, the lower passenger compartment 2, and the intermediate passenger compartment 3, and a second temperature sensor is provided at the return air outlet of each passenger compartment. The present invention is described in detail using a double-decker EMU vehicle as an example, but the air supply adjustment method for an air conditioning unit provided by the present invention can also be applied to other rail vehicles.

[0057] It should be noted that the upper passenger compartment, the lower passenger compartment and the middle passenger compartment in this embodiment are three different passenger compartment areas located in the same carriage, and a rail vehicle is provided with multiple carriages.

[0058] The air supply adjustment method of the air conditioning unit provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0059] S100, obtaining the current temperature of each passenger compartment and the return air outlet temperature;

[0060] Specifically, the current temperature of each guest room is the temperature of the guest room measured by the first sensor, and the return air outlet temperature is the temperature of the return air outlet measured by the second sensor. In order to know the current temperature of each guest room more accurately, at least two first temperature sensors 5 are provided in a single guest room in this embodiment. At this time, the current temperature of each guest room is specifically the average temperature of the first temperature sensors 5 in the single guest room. There is at least one return air outlet in a single guest room. When there are at least two return air outlets in a single guest room, the return air outlet temperature is specifically the average value of the second temperature sensors.

[0061] S200, calculating an average passenger compartment temperature T1 based on the current temperature of each passenger compartment, and calculating an average return air outlet temperature T2 based on the return air outlet temperature of each passenger compartment;

[0062] The average passenger compartment temperature T1 is calculated by averaging the current temperatures of each passenger compartment, and the average return air outlet temperature T2 is calculated by averaging the return air outlet temperatures of each passenger compartment. Specifically, two first temperature sensors 5 are respectively installed in the upper passenger compartment 1 and the lower passenger compartment 2, and one temperature sensor is respectively installed in the middle passenger compartments 3 at both ends. The average passenger compartment temperature here is the average of the temperatures measured by the six first temperature sensors 5. The average return air outlet temperature T2 is the average of the temperatures measured by the second temperature sensors in all passenger compartments.

[0063] S300, perform weighted calculation based on the average passenger compartment temperature T1, the average return air outlet temperature T2 and the weight coefficient k to obtain the actual passenger compartment temperature T 实 ;

[0064] Specifically, according to the different locations of the temperature sensors, it is necessary to perform weighted calculation on the average passenger compartment temperature T1 and the average return air outlet temperature T2 to obtain the actual passenger compartment temperature T 实 Specifically, in heating mode, the air conditioning unit outputs hot air, and the temperature of the upper passenger compartment is higher than that of the lower passenger compartment. In cooling mode, the air conditioning unit outputs cold air, and the temperature of the lower passenger compartment is higher than that of the upper passenger compartment. Therefore, in different modes, the position of the first temperature sensor 5 is different, resulting in a deviation between the first temperature sensor 5 and the actual passenger compartment temperature. In order to correct the temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 5, a weighted calculation is performed on the average passenger compartment temperature T1 and the average return air outlet temperature T2 to obtain the actual passenger compartment temperature T 实 , which can more objectively reflect the actual temperature in the guest room.

[0065] S400, according to the actual temperature T of the passenger compartment 实 And the preset temperature T 预 The size of the air-conditioning unit is controlled according to the comparison result;

[0066] Specifically, in order to avoid energy waste caused by the output load of the air-conditioning unit failing to meet the demand of the passenger room, or the output load of the air-conditioning unit being too large, the actual temperature T 实 And the preset temperature T 预 In heating mode, if the actual room temperature T 实 Greater than the preset temperature T 预 , it indicates that the output load of the air-conditioning unit is too large. You can reduce the output load of the air-conditioning unit and reduce the energy consumption of the air-conditioning unit. If the actual room temperature T 实 Less than the preset temperature T 预 , it indicates that the output load of the air-conditioning unit is insufficient. The output load of the air-conditioning unit can be increased to meet the needs of the passenger room and ensure the comfort of the passenger room. If the actual temperature of the passenger room is T 实 Equal to the preset temperature T预 , there is no need to adjust the output load of the air conditioning unit.

[0067] S500, based on the current temperature T1 of each passenger compartment and the preset temperature T 预 , adjust the air supply volume of each guest room.

[0068] Specifically, when the load of the entire air-conditioning unit meets the overall demand of the vehicle, the current temperature T1 of each passenger compartment and the preset temperature T 预 , adjust the air volume delivered by the air-conditioning unit to each passenger compartment so that the temperature of each passenger compartment can reach the preset temperature, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the passenger compartment and the riding comfort of the passengers.

[0069] It should be noted that the air supply adjustment of the air-conditioning unit in this embodiment is to adjust the temperature of different areas in a carriage, thereby improving the uniformity of the temperature in the carriage.

[0070] Furthermore, as one embodiment, the method of adjusting the air supply volume of each passenger compartment based on the current temperature and the preset temperature of each passenger compartment in the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0071] Calculate the temperature deviation between the current temperature and the preset temperature of a single passenger compartment;

[0072] Specifically, in this embodiment, the current temperature and the preset temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 5 in a single passenger compartment are calculated. If at least two first temperature sensors 5 are provided in a single passenger compartment, the current temperature is the average value of the temperatures measured by the first temperature sensors 5 in the single passenger compartment. The temperature deviation value between the current temperature and the preset temperature of the single passenger compartment is calculated.

[0073] Determine whether the temperature deviation is greater than a first preset temperature difference; if not, maintain the current air supply volume of the passenger compartment unchanged;

[0074] Specifically, it is determined whether the temperature deviation value is greater than a first preset temperature difference. If the temperature deviation value is less than the first preset temperature difference, the air supply volume of the current passenger compartment is kept unchanged.

[0075] If so, the airflow volume for the current passenger compartment is increased until the temperature deviation is less than the second preset temperature difference and maintained for a preset time, maintaining the airflow volume. If the temperature deviation is greater than the first preset temperature difference, indicating that the current passenger compartment temperature has not reached the target, the airflow volume for the current passenger compartment is increased until the temperature deviation is less than the second preset temperature difference and maintained for a preset time, maintaining the airflow volume.

[0076] As one specific implementation method, in this embodiment, the first preset temperature difference is 2K, the second preset temperature difference is 2K, and the preset time is 120S. In the heating state, if the preset temperature T 预 The current temperature of the upper passenger compartment 1 is 298K, and the current temperature of the upper passenger compartment 1 is 295K. The temperature deviation between the two is 3K, which is greater than the first preset temperature difference. It is necessary to increase the air supply volume of the current passenger compartment to increase the temperature of the upper passenger compartment 1. When the current temperature of the upper passenger compartment 1 is 297.5K and maintained for 120S, the air supply volume is kept unchanged.

[0077] As one of the implementation modes, the second preset temperature difference in the embodiment of the present invention is smaller than the first preset temperature difference. This is because after increasing the air supply volume, the indoor air is unstable during the accelerated flow process. If the first preset temperature difference is equal to the second preset temperature difference, the indoor temperature may not be evenly distributed. When the second preset temperature difference is smaller, the detected temperature is closer to the preset temperature, and the indoor temperature tends to be more uniform.

[0078] Furthermore, first determine whether the current load of the air-conditioning unit can meet the load required by the vehicle. If not, increase the air-conditioning output load, and then judge the temperature of each passenger compartment. If the upper passenger compartment 1 and the lower passenger compartment 2 both meet the first preset temperature difference, there is no need to increase the air volume. The middle passenger compartment 3 is greater than the first preset temperature difference and needs to increase the air volume. Then, increase the air volume generated by the increased output load of the air conditioner to the middle passenger compartment 3 until the middle passenger compartment 3 meets the second preset temperature difference and maintains the preset time, and maintains its air volume unchanged.

[0079] In the above method, as one of the implementation methods, in this embodiment, a weighted calculation is performed based on the passenger compartment temperature T1, the return air outlet temperature T2 and the weight coefficient k to obtain the actual passenger compartment temperature, specifically: the actual passenger compartment temperature T 实 =T1*k+T2*(1-k).

[0080] Furthermore, the weight coefficient is related to the working mode of the air-conditioning unit and the location of the first temperature sensor 5. When the air-conditioning unit is in heating mode, the weight coefficient ranges from 0.6 to 0.9; when the air-conditioning unit is in cooling mode, the weight coefficient ranges from 0.2 to 0.3.

[0081] Furthermore, the first temperature sensor 5 in the embodiment of the present invention is arranged below the seat to detect the temperature in the passenger compartment.

[0082] As shown in FIG2 , the present invention further provides an air supply control system for an air conditioning unit, which is used in a rail vehicle. The rail vehicle includes at least two passenger compartments, each of which is provided with a return air outlet. The system includes: a temperature acquisition module for acquiring the current temperature of each passenger compartment and the return air outlet temperature of the return air outlet; a first calculation module for calculating the average temperature of the passenger compartment based on the current temperature and the average temperature of the return air outlet based on the return air outlet temperature; a weighted calculation module for obtaining the actual temperature of the passenger compartment based on the average temperature of the passenger compartment, the average temperature of the return air outlet, and a weight coefficient; and a comparison control module for comparing the actual temperature Tactual of the passenger compartment with the preset temperature T 预 The size of the air conditioner is compared with the air conditioner, and the operating parameters of the air conditioner are controlled according to the comparison result; the adjustment module is used to adjust the air supply volume of each passenger compartment based on the current temperature and preset temperature of each passenger compartment.

[0083] Furthermore, as one of the implementation methods, the adjustment module in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a second calculation module, which is used to calculate the temperature deviation value between the current temperature and the preset temperature of a single passenger compartment based on the two; a first judgment and control module, which is used to keep the supply air volume of the current passenger compartment unchanged on the premise that the temperature deviation value is not greater than the first preset temperature difference; and a second judgment and control module, which is used to increase the supply air volume of the current passenger compartment on the premise that the temperature deviation value is greater than the first preset temperature difference, until the temperature deviation value is less than the second preset temperature difference and maintained for a preset time, thereby maintaining the supply air volume.

[0084] The present invention also provides a rail vehicle, which adopts the above-mentioned air supply adjustment system of the air conditioning unit. The rail vehicle includes at least two passenger compartments, each of which is provided with a return air outlet. A first temperature sensor 5 is provided in the passenger compartment, and the first temperature sensor 5 is used to obtain the current temperature of the passenger compartment. A second temperature sensor is provided at the return air outlet, and the second temperature sensor is used to obtain the return air outlet temperature.

[0085] Furthermore, as one embodiment, to avoid measurement errors, at least two first temperature sensors 5 are provided in a passenger compartment in the embodiment of the present invention, and the current temperature of the passenger compartment is specifically the average of the temperatures measured by the first temperature sensors 5 in the passenger compartment. The number of first temperature sensors 5 provided can be selected based on the size of the passenger compartment.

[0086] Furthermore, as one embodiment, a passenger compartment is provided with at least two return air vents, each return air vent is provided with a second temperature sensor, and the return air vent temperature in the embodiment of the present invention is the average temperature measured by the second temperature sensor in a single passenger compartment.

[0087] By arranging two or more first temperature sensors 5 and second temperature sensors in one passenger compartment and calculating an average value, the temperature can be reflected more objectively.

[0088] Furthermore, as one of the embodiments, the rail vehicle provided by the present invention also includes: a main air duct connected to the air outlet of the air-conditioning unit; a cold air duct 42 and a hot air duct 41 connected to the main air duct, the air outlet of the cold air duct 42 is arranged at the top of the passenger compartment, and the air outlet of the hot air duct 41 is arranged at the bottom of the passenger compartment; an adjusting mechanism is arranged at the outlet end of the main air duct, and the adjusting structure is used to transport the air volume in the main air duct to the cold air duct 42 and the hot air duct 41 respectively according to a preset ratio.

[0089] More specifically, since the density of hot air is lighter and the density of cold air is heavier, the outlet of the cold air duct 42 is set at the top of the passenger compartment, and the cold air flows to the bottom of the compartment. The hot air duct 41 is set at the bottom of the compartment. Since the density of hot air is small, the hot air flows to the top of the compartment. In this way, the air flow is further increased and the temperature of the passenger compartment is more uniform.

[0090] As one of the embodiments, the air-conditioning unit has a heating mode, a cooling mode and a ventilation mode; when the air-conditioning unit is in the heating mode, the hot air in the main air duct is all transported to the hot air duct 41 through the regulating mechanism; when the air-conditioning unit is in the cooling mode, the cold air in the main air duct is all transported to the cold air duct 42 through the regulating mechanism; when the air-conditioning unit is in the ventilation mode, the air in the main air duct is transported to the cold air duct 42 and the hot air duct 41 through the regulating mechanism.

[0091] Specifically, the adjustment mechanisms in the embodiment of the present invention are arranged in pairs, and the adjustment mechanisms are respectively arranged in the cold air duct 42 and the hot air duct 41. The following is an explanation taking the adjustment mechanism in the cold air duct 42 as an example. The adjustment mechanism includes a baffle, a rotating shaft and a baffle adjustment member, wherein the rotating shaft is fixedly arranged in the cold air duct 42, the baffle is rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft, and the baffle adjustment member is used to drive the baffle to rotate around the axial direction of the rotating shaft. When the baffle is parallel to the air duct cross-section, the cold air duct 42 is in an open state, and the cold air in the main air duct can enter the passenger compartment through the cold air duct 42. When the baffle is perpendicular to the air duct cross-section, the cold air duct 42 is in a closed state. When the angle between the baffle and the air duct cross-section is 0° to 90°, the cold air duct 42 is in an open state, and the amount of air entering the cold air duct 42 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle between the baffle and the air duct cross-section.

[0092] Furthermore, the baffle adjusting member drives the baffle to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft within an angle range of 0° to 90°.

[0093] Furthermore, when the air-conditioning unit is in heating mode, the cold air duct 42 is in a closed state, the hot air duct 41 is in an open state, and the hot air in the main air duct is sent into the hot air duct 41; when the air-conditioning unit is in cooling mode, the cold air duct 42 is in an open state, the hot air duct 41 is in a closed state, and the cold air in the main air duct is sent into the cold air duct 42; when the air-conditioning unit is in ventilation mode, the air in the main air duct can enter the cold air duct 42 and the hot air duct 41 according to a preset ratio.

[0094] As one embodiment, the present invention provides at least two main air ducts. A damper and a damper adjustment member are provided between each main air duct and the air outlet of the air conditioning unit. The damper adjustment member is used to adjust the opening of the damper. If the damper provided on the first main air duct has a large opening, the air volume entering the first main air duct from the air conditioning unit is large. Furthermore, the damper adjustment member is connected to a first judgment control module. Under the premise that the temperature deviation value is not greater than a first preset temperature difference, the damper adjustment member is maintained, thereby maintaining the air supply volume of the current passenger compartment unchanged. The damper adjustment member is connected to a second judgment control module. Under the premise that the temperature deviation value is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the second judgment control module controls the damper adjustment member to increase the opening of the damper, thereby increasing the air volume entering the passenger compartment. Until the temperature deviation value is less than the second preset temperature difference and is maintained for a preset time, the second judgment control valve controls the damper adjustment member to maintain the current damper opening, thereby maintaining the air supply volume.
