Referring to fig. 1, a control method of a fuel cell control system of a hydrogen vehicle includes: VCU, FCU, HCU, ACU, FCBC and IC, VCU's information output end is connected with the IC, and VCU's information input end is connected with FCU and HCU all, and FCU's information output end is connected with FCBC.
The control method of the control system includes 5 actual management methods, respectively: the system parameter monitoring, the system control, the fault management and diagnosis, the hydrogen supply system control and the fuel cell boost control are realized, the function of the hydrogen energy automobile fuel cell control system is cooperatively completed by VCU, FCU, HCU, ACU, FCBC and IC, and the control method is completed by the parameter monitoring, the system control, the fault management and diagnosis, the hydrogen supply system control and the fuel cell boost control.
The details are as follows:
the system parameter monitoring function method is realized by the following steps: when the power supply gear is in an ON gear, the FCU sends state information such as output current, output voltage and a fault lamp lighting signal to the IC through the CAN, at the moment, the HCU sends information such as hydrogen residual quantity, hydrogen temperature and hydrogen pressure to the IC through the CAN, and at the moment, the FCU sends state information such as output current, output voltage and a fault lamp lighting signal to the IC through the CAN.
The system control method is realized by the following steps: when the power supply gear is in an ON gear, the low-voltage relay is closed, and at the moment, the fuel cell controller completes the states of system self-checking, high-voltage electrification, starting, normal operation, stopping and the like. Specific operating states can interact with the VCU.
The fault management and diagnosis method is realized by the following steps: when the power supply gear is in an ON gear, the low-voltage relay is closed, the faults of the fuel cell system mainly comprise a hydrogen system, an air system, a thermal management system, a circuit, voltage inspection and the like, and are divided into three stages, a first-stage fault, a second-stage fault and a third-stage fault, the first-stage fault is the lightest, the third-stage fault is the heaviest, specific faults and handling measures are shown in figure 2, and the faults and the grading diagram of the fuel cell are shown.
Remarking: if a serious fault causes shutdown, the fault code keeps a state code causing system fault shutdown; when the insulation resistance value is smaller than the set value, the system reports an insulation fault and takes measures of cutting off an air source and a power supply in an emergency.
The implementation of the hydrogen supply system control method is represented as follows: when the vehicle is in the Ready state and the FCU sends the on-off command of the high-pressure hydrogen storage electromagnetic valve, the HCU executes the on-off command of the high-pressure hydrogen storage electromagnetic valve sent by the FCU to control the on-off of the high-pressure hydrogen storage electromagnetic valve. When emergency such as hydrogen leakage or vehicle collision occurs, and when emergency such as hydrogen leakage or vehicle collision occurs, the HCU needs to actively cut off hydrogen, passively discharge hydrogen, and the like.
When emergency situations such as hydrogen leakage and vehicle collision occur, the HCU needs to actively cut off hydrogen, passively discharge hydrogen and the like. When the HCU detects that the hydrogen concentration reaches a limit threshold value, hydrogen is actively cut off; when the HCU detects an ACU collision signal of the whole vehicle, hydrogen is actively cut off; when the HCU is powered off, the cylinder valve is powered off to automatically cut off hydrogen when the HCU is powered off; after reaching a certain temperature, the fuse wire of the cylinder valve is fused, and hydrogen is passively discharged.
When the hydrogen concentration exceeds a threshold, it is necessary to ensure that hydrogen-related hazards do not occur. When the vehicle is exhausted, the hydrogen concentration in the vehicle surroundings does not exceed 75% LFL, and the hydrogen concentration in the passenger compartment and the other compartments is less than 50% LFL. Before the hydrogen accumulation concentration reaches 50% LFL, the driver or the vehicle user should be notified by a buzzer alarm device or an emergency display prompt, and the hydrogen source or the power supply should be automatically cut off when the hydrogen accumulation concentration reaches 75% LFL.
When the power supply gear is in an OFF gear and the T-BOX wakes up, the HCU is awakened to detect the hydrogen concentration at regular time. The T-BOX awakens the test hourly the first 3 days of parking and then tests daily.
The implementation of the fuel cell boost control method is represented by: when the vehicle is in the Ready state, the FCU sends a boosting signal to the FCBC according to the required power sent by the VCU, the SOC of the BMS and the voltage of the BMS, and at the moment, the FCU sends the boosting signal to the FCBC according to the required power sent by the VCU, the BMS charging enabling and the voltage of the BMS.
In conclusion, the control method of the hydrogen energy automobile fuel cell control system effectively manages the fuel cell system, improves the fuel economy of the fuel cell, and ensures the reliability of the hydrogen energy automobile fuel cell system. This patent describes in detail the actual method of fuel control system control, the triggering conditions and the effects of the actual implementation, which are of high commercial value.
