The working principle of the system is as follows: logic matrix + modular grid connection + internal commutation + stack exchange + shared medium overflow balance + time-sharing control.
Logic matrix: a media exchange object and a thermal demand matrix table;
modularization grid connection: through the valve interface, other heat circulation systems are integrally combined into the whole vehicle heat management system under the condition of not changing the system composition and principle;
internal reversing: when different systems perform medium interaction, the bidirectional asynchronous exchange of cooling media can be realized under the condition that interface logic is unchanged by using a medium exchange water pump and a reversing valve;
stack swapping: for the exchange of cooling media between mutually independent systems, the transfer change of the medium capacities of the two systems can be caused, asynchronous forward and reverse equivalent medium intercommunication is needed, namely, the medium exchange mode of inlet and outlet balance is realized by a cooling medium storage system (expansion water tank);
and (3) sharing medium overflow balance: for a cooling system with a common liquid supplementing water tank or common expansion water tank, liquid amount changes caused by medium exchange are balanced by a medium sharing part;
time-sharing control: medium exchange requirements between more than two systems exist, two different medium exchange sides need to be switched on or off in a time-sharing mode, and the on-off duration is distributed according to the requirements of a control strategy;
the extended range vehicle cooling medium exchange system and the control method thereof of the embodiment of the invention are described below with reference to the drawings.
Analyzing the conditions of main thermal working components of the extended range vehicle related to a cooling system:
an engine: the temperature is high, heat dissipation is needed, the output power and the heat dissipation power are both high, the temperature range has specific requirements, the capacity of the water tank is high, and the water temperature is high during normal work;
the permanent magnet generator: the water tank is connected with an engine, namely the ambient temperature is slightly high during working, the water temperature is moderate during normal working, the water tank with proper capacity is adopted to inhibit temperature mutation, and the heat dissipation capacity of a cooling system and the water quantity of the system are generally properly increased in consideration of the fact that the water tank is close to the engine;
permanent magnet drive motor: the system is not afraid of low temperature, heat dissipation is needed, the heat dissipation power is small, but the upper thermal limit is small, the heat dissipation is required to be fast, the heat dissipation capacity of the water tank and the system water volume are matched and associated with the driving working condition, the ambient temperature is not high during working, the water temperature is not high during normal working, the average power and the thermal power are not large, the water tank with proper capacity is needed to be adopted to inhibit temperature mutation, but the uncertainty of load and working condition under extreme conditions is considered, and the cooling system and the system water volume with large redundancy are generally used;
a power battery: the temperature is not high, the high temperature upper limit value is lower than that of the motor, the motor belongs to a medium-low temperature type component, is sensitive to temperature change and has strict range requirements, so that the heat exchange speed is required to be high firstly, namely the heating or radiating capacity is strong; secondly, the water temperature is required to be stable, namely the heat capacity of the cooling liquid is required to be large so as to reduce the short-time sudden change of the temperature. When the system works normally, the heat dissipation power is not large, so the system water volume requirement is general, and a proper large quantity is beneficial, particularly for a power type battery, the system heat dissipation capacity and the system water volume requirement are large. Due to the influence of regionality or climaticity, in cold regions, the system is required to have strong heating and heat preservation capabilities; in hot areas, the system is required to have stronger heat dissipation capacity, and even an air-conditioning forced refrigeration system is adopted;
a warm air system: the heating device is used for defrosting or heating, the heating power is not large, the temperature of the radiator has range requirements, and the defrosting and heating effects do not reach the standard if the temperature of the radiator is too low. The effective heat conversion efficiency of the warm air system is not high, and the specific gravity of heat loss is high; the warm air system requires a relatively stable source of heat; the water capacity of the water heating system is not large, and the flow rate requirement can ensure that the temperature difference reaches the standard;
an electric control component: various controllers such as motor controllers, DC-DC, DC-AC, onboard chargers, etc. The components are generally not afraid of low temperature, the heat dissipation is a main problem, the upper limit of heat is small, the heat dissipation is required to be fast, the average heat dissipation power is not large, and a water tank with proper capacity is adopted to inhibit the temperature mutation. The water temperature is not high during normal work, and the water temperature is generally shared with a vehicle motor cooling system.
From the above analysis, it can be concluded that: for a range-extended vehicle system, the requirements of all subsystems on temperature control have the characteristics, and the coordination is difficult. Meanwhile, increasing the energy-saving level of the range-extended vehicle to increase the driving range is also a technical rigid requirement of the current range-extended vehicle, and energy waste needs to be minimized.
The first step is as follows: the heat flow demand logic is analyzed.
The second step is that: and (3) carrying out attribute understanding on the existing finished automobile cooling system:
the heat dissipation water tank of a common commercial vehicle range extending system is of a serial ventilation structure, namely, the heat dissipation water tank of an engine and the heat dissipation water tank of a generator are arranged in an overlapping mode and share a group of fans, and meanwhile, the width and the height of the heat dissipation water tank are limited by definite sizes. In order to meet different heat dissipation requirements of an engine and a generator without increasing the width and the height, two general measures are adopted: one is to increase the thickness of the water tank to increase heat dissipation capacity, but there are usually structural limitations; secondly, the heat dissipation capacity is shared, namely, other radiators bear part of heat dissipation capacity; in order to achieve the above objective, the heat dissipation capability of the generator radiator can be increased properly, which requires an appropriate cooling medium exchange mechanism between two systems with different heat dissipation properties to achieve the sharing of the heat dissipation capability.
The engine cooling system operating temperature range is different from the operating range of the motor/electronic control/battery and is not allowed to be in the same circulating system. If heat exchange is desired, heat exchange without medium exchange is usually carried out by means of special heat exchange devices.
The purpose of cross-systems is generally: 1. the excess heat is led out; 2. excess heat dissipation capacity is borrowed; 3. additional demand for heat borrowing; 4. providing required heat for other systems; 5. and coordinating the high-efficiency work of all the thermal management system components.
The third step: and establishing a range extender cooling medium exchange system which is the most basic cooling medium exchange system of the range extender vehicle.
The fourth step: and expanding other cooling systems to be connected with the grid through a cooling medium exchange system.
The cooling system grid connection method and principle are as follows:
1. two interfaces for carrying out the medium exchange system are respectively positioned at A or B, and control valves can be added to the interfaces according to requirements;
2. system for sharing an expansion tank with existing systems: the exchange of the cooling medium and the liquid level balance of the system are realized by an expansion kettle;
3. system for independent use of expansion kettles: the exchange of the cooling medium and the liquid level balance of the system are realized by a stack principle, namely, the forward and reverse exchange of the tide type medium is carried out by the volume change of the expansion kettle;
4. medium self-exchange: the two interfaces of the system realize the acceleration of local flow velocity, and the system is generally used between an upper water chamber and a lower water chamber of a radiator to improve the flow velocity in the radiator so as to improve the heat radiation capability;
5. the grid-connected branch architecture is realized through various valve assemblies, such as a direct connection switch valve, a two-position two-way switch valve, a three-position four-way switch valve and other switch valves which can realize on-off logic and meet the number of interfaces.
The fifth step: and integrating medium exchange information and making a medium exchange control strategy. The liquid amount change limit allowed by the system; the exchange information about heat, such as temperature difference, required temperature, tolerable temperature curve or boundary, temperature rise direction, current system operating state, current cooling idleness of the system (operating condition and current attribute state of the cooling system), etc., i.e. the opening, operating direction, duration, control strategy, information interaction content, etc. of the medium exchanger need to be defined. Typical items of control information are fluid level, fluid stream temperature, system temperature, other system control requirements obtained through communication means, etc. The control strategy refers to a mode and a method of heat exchange quantity determined by medium exchange, and the generally controlled contents include exchange interface number, exchange direction, exchange time, exchange liquid quantity, system protection and the like.
And a sixth step: and (3) system operation and control: 1. connecting the two systems of the medium exchange; 2. media exchange power provision and direction selection; 3. the media exchange is performed per policy.
An example of a typical application scenario is:
1. in cold areas in winter, the vehicle starts. After the engine is preheated, the opening 4-2 of the first electromagnetic valve, the opening 4-2 of the second electromagnetic valve, the opening 4-1 of the third electromagnetic valve and the opening 4-1 of the reversing valve are communicated, and hot water of the engine can be injected into a power battery circulation pipeline after a water pump is opened. It should be noted that: 1. the time length of each starting is controlled, and the damage to the battery caused by overlarge temperature difference due to the fact that excessive hot water is injected into a battery circulating system is prevented; 2. and monitoring the liquid level sensor, reversing the reversing valve after the upper limit is reached, and simultaneously connecting the 4-3 ports of the first electromagnetic valve to reduce the liquid level of the expansion kettle communicated with the battery circulating system to the lower limit. And repeating the process after completing one cycle until the set temperature coordination target is met. And finally, shutting down all related control components, wherein all isolated subsystems still work independently according to respective thermal management systems.
2. And (4) low-power range-increasing and low-load running, such as low-speed traffic jam progressive running. 4-1 port of the first electromagnetic valve, 4-2 port of the second electromagnetic valve, 4-2 port of the third electromagnetic valve and 4-1 port of the reversing valve are connected, and cooling liquid of the driving motor can be injected into a circulating pipeline of the generator after the water pump is opened. The method can avoid starting the cooling fan of the driving motor, and the cooling fan has higher power, low heat exchange efficiency and high energy consumption when working in a low cooling state, so that the driving cooling system has better energy saving effect, and the efficiency of the generator cooling system can be fully exerted.
3. And keeping warm air after the range extender is stopped. In this state, the engine does not need to be operated continuously at idle speed or at low power, the residual heat of the engine radiator is used for supplying warm air for a long time, and only a medium channel between the engine radiating water tank and the warm air radiator needs to be opened.
4. And in hot weather, the working condition of low-speed and high-power operation is realized. For example, in summer, the range-extended environmental sanitation sweeper needs very large power generation, very small driving power and higher temperature of an engine compartment during low-speed running operation. And (3) control strategy: 4-1 port of the first electromagnetic valve, 4-2 port of the second electromagnetic valve, 4-2 port of the third electromagnetic valve and 4-2 port of the reversing valve are connected, and the cooling liquid of the generator can be injected into the circulating pipeline of the driving motor after the water pump is opened. The cooling system of the driving motor is utilized to share the cooling capacity of the driving motor, and extra cooling service is provided for the generator, so that the feasibility and the safety of high-power operation of the generating system are ensured while the heat dissipation capacity of the generating system is improved.
5. The power battery continues the high power mode for a short time. For example, a vehicle equipped with a power-type battery with a small capacity travels on a slope with a heavy load in an electric-only mode, and at the moment, the battery discharges and heats violently, so that the battery refrigerating unit is not forced to start up for refrigeration and the short-time severe temperature rise of the coolant is inhibited, the generator cooling system and the driving motor cooling system can be communicated to form a large heat capacity system. Under the condition, the battery refrigeration air conditioning unit does not need to be forcibly started, the short-time local quick temperature rise condition can be eliminated through medium communication, the effect is quick, and the energy is saved.
By adopting the system for realizing cooling medium exchange in the range-extended vehicle and the control method thereof, the purpose of the range-extended vehicle is achieved by the cooling medium exchange system: the heating and heat preservation capability of the waste heat of the engine to the battery in a severe cold area is improved; the capacity of sharing the cooling heat capacity and the cooling performance of the whole vehicle is realized through medium exchange; the comprehensive grid-connected capacity of the heat management system in the fusion of subsystems with the number of subsystems and temperature difference unmatchable subsystems is increased; the efficiency and the heat energy utilization rate of the whole vehicle heat coordination system are improved; the heat exchange efficiency and the real-time performance of different circulation subsystems are improved; the heat management capability of each subsystem is fully exerted, and the working efficiency of the components is improved.
