At present, energy shortage, petroleum crisis and environmental pollution are getting more and more severe, which bring great influence to people's life and directly relate to the sustainable development of national economy and society. New energy technologies are actively developed in all countries of the world. In new energy vehicles such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, a battery pack is a key component, and the performance of the battery pack directly affects the performance of the new energy vehicles. Due to the fact that the space of a vehicle is limited, heat generated in the working process of the battery is accumulated, temperature at all positions is uneven, the uniformity of the battery monomer is affected, the charge-discharge cycle efficiency of the battery is reduced, the power and energy exertion of the battery are affected, and thermal runaway can be caused in severe cases. In order to optimize the performance and life of the battery pack, it is necessary to thermally manage the battery and control the battery temperature within a reasonable range (for example, to heat the power battery when the ambient temperature is low). In addition to the battery, the temperature control objects of the thermal management system of the entire vehicle are a drive motor, an electric drive, a cockpit, a direct current-to-direct current converter (DCDC), an on-board battery charger (OBC), an air cooling device, a cell stack, and the like.
CN 103328248A proposes a thermal management control method, in which the heating value of a power element is calculated according to the measured current motor torque and rotation speed, and the cooling performance of the system is calculated by combining the current temperature of the heat transfer medium and the ambient temperature, so as to regulate and control the rotation speed of a circulating pump and a fan in a cooling loop.
JP 2019 and 189083A also propose a thermal management control method in which the rotational speeds of a water pump and a fan in a cooling circuit are determined based on a mode of cabin heating or cooling, and whether the temperature of a motor exceeds a threshold value is estimated from the vehicle speed.
The thermal management control method disclosed in CN 108072384 a predicts battery power based on expected power requirements and according to a destination navigation plan, and plans in advance the heating or cooling needs for the battery.
However, the thermal management control methods disclosed in the prior art do not precisely control the temperature control objects and give no special consideration to the energy consumption of the thermal management actuators, thus resulting in the problem of achieving the thermal management control requirements at the expense of consuming more energy from the thermal management actuators.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
The following describes a thermal management control system and a thermal management control method implemented by the thermal management control system according to an embodiment of the invention with reference to the attached drawings. The thermal management control system can be applied to new energy automobiles, such as pure electric automobiles or hybrid electric automobiles.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a heat transfer circuit for temperature control of a temperature controlled object of a thermal management control system according to the present invention. The illustrated heat transfer circuit is a closed circuit 1 in which a heat transfer medium flows, the circuit including a temperature controlled object 11, a pump 12 pumping the heat transfer medium to flow through the temperature controlled object, and a heat exchanger 13 through which the heat transfer medium passes and exchanges heat with a source fluid serving as a heat source or a heat sink. In the embodiment shown, the heat transfer medium in the circuit is a cooling liquid, the object to be temperature controlled is for example an electric motor, the source fluid is ambient air, and in order to promote heat transfer between the air and the cooling liquid in the heat exchanger, a fan 14 is arranged on the air side of the heat exchanger for adjusting the flow rate of the air entering the heat exchanger and thereby influencing the temperature of the cooling liquid.
Although the embodiment shown in fig. 1 uses air as a heat sink and reduces the temperature of the motor by indirect heat transfer from a coolant, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the source fluid may also be used as a heat source to heat the temperature controlled object (e.g., in a heating mode, cabin temperature needs to be raised), in which case the heat source fluid may be a hot fluid in a heat pump condenser or cooler. Other fluids, such as oil, may also be used as the heat transfer medium in the circuit.
Therefore, the heat transfer circuit corresponds to a heat transfer circuit that transfers heat from a source fluid serving as a heat source to a temperature controlled object (in this case, the temperature controlled object is in a heated mode) or transfers heat from the temperature controlled object to a source fluid serving as a heat sink (in this case, the temperature controlled object is in a cooled mode) by a heat transfer medium. Therefore, whether the temperature-controlled object is in the heated mode or in the cooled mode, a pump that pumps the heat transfer medium is always present in the heat transfer circuit to carry the required heat transfer amount away from or to the temperature-controlled object.
For the sake of convenience of explanation of the principle of the thermal management control according to the present invention, a heat transfer medium circuit in which the temperature control target is a motor, the heat transfer medium is a coolant (cooling water), and the source fluid is air (i.e., a coolant circuit shown in the drawings) will be described below as an example.
Referring to FIG. 2, a schematic diagram of a thermal management control system 100 is shown, wherein the thermal management control system according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a thermal management controller 10 configured to thermally control the heat transfer circuit. The thermal management controller 10 includes: a circuit heat transfer calculation unit 101 that calculates a heat transfer demand of the circuit based on an expected temperature change rate set for the temperature-controlled object and the input heat flow model of the temperature-controlled object; a heat transfer medium flow rate calculation unit 102 that calculates a heat transfer medium flow rate demand adjustment range based on the calculated heat transfer demand; a pump rotational speed calculation unit 103 that calculates a pump rotational speed demand adjustment range based on the calculated heat transfer medium flow demand adjustment range; and a heat transfer medium temperature calculation unit 104 that calculates a current temperature control capability of the circuit based on the current temperature of the temperature control object, the current temperature of the heat transfer medium, the current temperature of the source fluid, and the heat transfer characteristic parameters of the temperature control object and the heat exchanger, and calculates a heat transfer medium temperature demand adjustment range based on the calculated current temperature control capability.
The input information to the thermal management controller includes sensed information from the components of the heat transfer medium circuit or corresponding inventory information, such as a model of heat flow to the temperature controlled object, pump characteristic parameters, measurements of pump speed, fan characteristic parameters, measurements of fan speed, heat exchange characteristics of the heat exchanger, temperature measurements of the heat transfer medium, and the like. The heat management controller outputs control signals for the pump and the fan through the operation of the loop heat transfer calculating part, the heat transfer medium flow calculating part, the pump rotation speed calculating part and the heat transfer medium temperature calculating part. After the pump and the fan make adjustments in response to the control signals, the thermal management control system detects the temperature of the temperature-controlled object, the flow rate and temperature of the heat transfer medium, and the power consumption of the pump and the fan in real time, and inputs these detection results as feedback information to the thermal management control system so as to dynamically correct and adjust the control direction to gradually bring the loop system to a desired stable equilibrium state.
In the thermal management control system and method according to the present invention, the term "temperature control capability" refers to the range of heat transfer capability that can be achieved by the heat transfer medium circuit (i.e., the capability inherent in the system to characterize "heat transfer power"), with the maximum amount of heat transfer achieved by that particular heat transfer circuit when reaching a stable equilibrium state varying with the temperature of the heat transfer medium given the temperature of the temperature controlled object and source fluid, following the curve shown in fig. 3. As can be seen from the curves shown, the amount of heat transfer that can be achieved by the circuit is zero when the heat transfer medium temperature is equal to the temperature of the temperature controlled object or source fluid. For this particular circuit, there is a heat transfer medium temperature such that the heat transfer capacity of the circuit reaches a maximum value that characterizes the maximum heat transfer capacity of the circuit at the corresponding source fluid temperature. The temperature control capability is thus a function of the source fluid temperature, and for a particular heat transfer medium circuit, the temperature control capability varies with the source fluid temperature as a curve resembling a normal distribution curve, the specific configuration of which can be derived from the heat exchange characteristics between the temperature control object and the source fluid and the heat exchange characteristics of the heat exchanger, and is an inherent characteristic of the system. That is, for the heat transfer circuit shown in FIG. 1, the temperature at which the motor limit temperature, the pump limit speed, the fan limit speed, the current motor temperature, the current coolant temperature, the temperature at which the cooling fluid is supplied, and the like are measured,In the case of the parameters of the current ambient air temperature, the parameter value of "temperature control capability" can be calculated. The "temperature control capabilities" corresponding to the different coolant temperatures are connected into a line, resulting in the curve shown in fig. 3. Of course, the corresponding temperature control capability curves are different for different motor temperatures and ambient air temperatures. As shown in FIG. 3, TTemperature of the motorAnd TAmbient air temperatureThe larger the phase difference is, the larger the peak value of the temperature control capacity curve is, and when the temperature of the motor is from TTemperature of the motorIs raised to T'Temperature of the motorAt the same TCurrent temperature of cooling liquidIn the case of (3), the corresponding temperature controllability value difference is Δ W.
The term "demand regulation range" means that, on the premise that a certain regulation parameter such as a heat transfer medium flow rate or a pump rotation speed is satisfied (changed as needed or kept constant) with respect to a temperature requirement of a temperature control object, there is a regulation threshold point that is based on the change requirement of the temperature control object, and in actual control, a certain redundancy is given to the regulation parameter in consideration of safety to cope with the change requirement of the temperature control object, and therefore, a set of all these possible alternative regulation parameter values constitutes the "demand regulation range".
The "adjustment range of the temperature requirement of the heat transfer medium" refers to a temperature control capability curve corresponding to the intrinsic property of the circuit in which the temperature control object is located, the position of the calculated current temperature control capability in the curve is determined, a target adjustment range of the temperature of the heat transfer medium is judged and selected according to the change requirement of the temperature control object, and the temperature of the heat transfer medium falling within the target adjustment range can be selected as a target control signal when responding to the change requirement of the temperature control object.
During the particular operation of the thermal management control system, there are actually a number of non-steady-state conditions. For example, during vehicle start-up, warm-up, dynamic driving, shutdown, etc., the temperature of the components in the coolant circuit may change, the amount of heat entering the coolant (the amount of heat transferred to the coolant by the temperature controlled object) and the amount of heat exiting the coolant (the amount of heat transferred to the ambient air by the coolant) may be unbalanced, and such unbalanced state is not allowed and does not last for a long time according to the functional requirements of thermal management and the vehicle operating condition design, otherwise the temperature may be out of control. In order to monitor such an unbalanced state, target adjustment values of key control parameters, i.e., coolant flow (corresponding to pump speed), coolant temperature, and ambient air flow (corresponding to fan speed), need to be dynamically calculated in real time, i.e., on the premise that temperature requirements of temperature control objects are met, the control parameters are coordinated so that the system gradually approaches a steady state equilibrium state within the design capability range of each actuator (pump, heat exchanger, fan, etc.). The look-ahead and predictability of the control avoids the limitations of control strategies in which the pump speed is adjusted solely according to the temperature change needs of the temperature controlled object.
In particular, according to the thermal management control system of the present invention, in the step of determining the temperature demand adjustment range of the heat transfer medium, the currently reserved heat transfer capacity is also comprehensively considered. The term "currently reserved heat transfer capacity" refers to a heat transfer margin that should be reserved in accordance with statistical data prediction corresponding to the current temperature of the temperature controlled object. The "current reserved heat transfer capacity" may be derived from statistical data, meaning the possible change amplitude of the heat flow in the next period of time under the current operating conditions, or from the prediction of heat generation due to the power system planning. The thermal management control system according to the present invention also measures the current stable heat transfer amount of the temperature controlled object in real time. And calculating the required temperature control capacity of the loop based on the current stable heat transfer capacity and the calculated current reserved heat transfer capacity. Here, "required temperature control capability" represents the current target control range of the system. And the current temperature control capability represents the control range determined by the intrinsic properties of the system in the current operation state. In a preferred embodiment, the thermal management control system of the invention comprehensively considers the current temperature control capability and the required temperature control capability of the loop to determine the temperature demand regulation range of the heat transfer medium, thereby more comprehensively considering the transient change demand of the system, giving redundancy required by stable operation of the system, avoiding the occurrence of extreme dangerous events and improving the safety and controllability of the system to a higher level.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the thermal management control method according to the first embodiment of the present invention has the following steps:
step S01: the collection and utilization vehicle networking information module 200 collects vehicle operation state information.
Step S02: based on information from the internet of vehicles information module 200, a dynamic planning model is built in the dynamic planning model module 300.
Step S03: a temperature control object heat flow model is constructed in the temperature control object heat flow model module 105 using the relevant information from the power planning model module. The heat flow model of the temperature controlled object is associated with the input of the power planning model module. For example, as the operating state of a system such as a power system or an air conditioning system changes, the state of the temperature control object also changes accordingly.
Step S04: current operating parameters of the loop are measured and collected, and intrinsic property data of the heat transfer loop components are stored, including current temperature of the temperature controlled object, current temperature of the heat transfer medium, current temperature of the source fluid, thermophysical properties of the temperature controlled object, heat exchange characteristics of the heat exchanger, current stable heat transfer quantity, and the like.
Step S05: the temperature change rate correction unit 106 for the temperature control object presets an expected temperature change rate of the temperature control object or stores the temperature change rate after iterative correction, based on the current temperature of the temperature control object. The temperature change rate of the temperature control object, that is, the amount of change in the temperature of the temperature control object per unit time.
Step S09: the heat transfer circuit is determined from the stored data to currently reserve heat transfer capacity.
Step S10: the temperature change rate from the temperature change rate correction unit 106 for the temperature control object is input to the circuit heat transfer calculation unit 101. The thermal management control method takes the temperature change rate of the temperature control object as a main control variable in this step. The loop heat transfer calculation unit 101 of the thermal management controller obtains the heat transfer demand of the loop by performing overall calculation of the heat transfer amount related to the temperature control demand of the temperature-controlled object based on the expected temperature change rate set for the temperature-controlled object and the input heat flow model of the temperature-controlled object. According to the basic heat transfer law, the rate of change of the temperature-controlled object directly depends on the amount of heat entering the temperature-controlled object, and the heat transfer between the temperature-controlled object and the cooling liquid is directly affected by the flow rate of the cooling liquid of the cooling circuit in addition to the temperature difference between the temperature-controlled object and the cooling liquid. By this variable, the rate of temperature change, we directly relate the change in heat inside the temperature controlled object to the flow rate of the cooling liquid. Therefore, the coordination control of the whole thermal management control system can be firstly integrated on the heat level, and the whole vehicle system can be conveniently integrated on the energy management level.
The temperature change rate of the temperature control object and the heat flow model of the power system show that the heat transfer requirement continuously changes within a certain time due to the specific driving environment and different requirements in the vehicle besides showing that the heat transfer requirement has a certain heat transfer requirement at each moment in time.
The calculation result of the loop heat transfer operation part is input into the power planning model module to be used as reference information of the power planning. The input of the vehicle network information module is also considered for the establishment of the power planning model, and the establishment of the power planning model also influences the heat flow model of the temperature control object and further influences the calculation result of the loop heat transfer operation part.
Therefore, with the development of intelligent networking and automatic driving technologies, the possibility of dynamically monitoring the running state of the vehicle in real time is increasing. This also leads to a space for better planning/prediction of the thermal management control system in the time dimension. The introduction of intelligent networking information is beneficial to further optimize the control strategy for the heat transfer loop.
Step S11: the heat transfer medium flow rate calculation unit 102 calculates the heat transfer medium flow rate demand adjustment range based on the calculated heat transfer demand. At each moment, the system demands the heat transfer medium flow, i.e. the pump operating state (i.e. speed control).
Step S12: the pump rotational speed calculation unit 103 calculates a pump rotational speed demand adjustment range based on the calculated heat transfer medium flow demand adjustment range.
Step S21: the heat transfer medium temperature calculation unit 104 calculates the current temperature control capability of the circuit based on the current temperature of the temperature control target, the current temperature of the heat transfer medium, the current temperature of the source fluid, and the heat transfer characteristic parameters of the temperature control target and the heat exchanger, and determines the heat transfer medium temperature demand adjustment range based on the calculated current temperature control capability. In order to predictively control the system, the required temperature control capacity of the circuit is calculated on the basis of the determined current reserved heat transfer capacity and the measured current stable heat transfer capacity of the temperature control object. And determining the temperature demand regulation range of the heat transfer medium by integrating the current temperature control capacity and the demand temperature control capacity.
Step S22: the fan rotational speed calculation unit 107 calculates a fan rotational speed demand adjustment range based on the calculated heat transfer medium temperature demand adjustment range and the heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchanger.
Step S30: the optimization calculation unit 108 calculates optimal adjustment values of the pump rotational speed and the fan rotational speed for the purpose of minimizing the sum of power consumptions of the pump and the fan, based on the calculated pump rotational speed demand adjustment range and fan rotational speed demand adjustment range. The calculated actuator power consumption is finally input to the power planning model module.
From the perspective of overall energy management of the whole vehicle, the power output and the thermal management output of the vehicle are both the system output to be pursued, and the power consumption for the power output and the power consumption for the thermal management system can be integrated on the same measurement. For example, under the condition of power output with emphasis, power output is preferentially ensured even if more energy is consumed by heat management; under the condition of focusing on the endurance mileage, if a certain power output is realized and the thermal management control system consumes relatively more energy, the vehicle can advise a driver or directly control the vehicle (under the condition of automatic driving), and the power output is properly reduced, so that the aims of saving energy and prolonging the endurance mileage are fulfilled. Therefore, the interaction of the power system planning and the thermal management planning is comprehensively considered in the thermal management control system, and the power output, the heat output and the comprehensive energy consumption of the whole vehicle are monitored more comprehensively and flexibly.
Step S301: the calculated pump speed adjustment value is sent to the pump as a control signal.
Step S302: the calculated fan speed value is sent to the fan as a control signal.
Step S40: the temperature change rate of the temperature control object is measured in real time, and the measured temperature change rate of the temperature control object is input to the temperature change rate correction unit 105, and the process returns to step S05 to correct the preset expected temperature change rate.
The corrected temperature change rate is input to the loop heat transfer computing unit 101 and is iteratively calculated, and therefore the process returns to step S10 again. The operation parameters of each part in the heat transfer loop are dynamically predicted and monitored in a reciprocating mode, and the whole loop system is ensured to be in a stable and controllable optimal operation state.
The single temperature control object shown in the figure may be selected from one of a driving motor, a power battery, DCDC, OBC, a cabin, an air cooling device, and a stack.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
To facilitate an understanding of the principles of operation of the thermal management control system of the present invention, a basic example of a coolant circuit as shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
For example, in a state where the vehicle is just started, the temperature of the temperature-controlled object, the coolant, and the ambient temperature are all the same, and at this time, the heat transfer between the temperature-controlled object and the coolant and the heat transfer between the coolant and the ambient air are all zero, and the temperature of the temperature-controlled object inevitably rises as the heat inside the temperature-controlled object increases. The thermal management control system of the present invention also begins to control the operation of the pump and fan as the temperature difference between the temperature controlled object and the coolant develops. Generally, at any one time, the temperature controlled object has a target operating temperature, and between the system starting warm-up and the temperature controlled object reaching the target operating temperature, assuming that only a small coolant flow rate is used (there is generally such an operation, which aims to control the temperature balance of the temperature controlled object), it can be observed that the temperature controlled object temperature rises significantly, the coolant temperature rises slightly, and the ambient air temperature does not change. With the increase of the temperature difference between the temperature controlled object and the coolant, the coolant can exert a certain influence on the temperature control of the temperature controlled object. At this time, the temperature difference between the coolant and the environment is small, in other words, the heat transfer capacity between the coolant and the ambient air is small, and the amount of heat that can be transferred into the coolant and the amount of heat that can be transferred out of the coolant to the air are unbalanced, so that the amount of heat transfer between the coolant and the ambient air determines the control direction required for the entire circuit to reach the next equilibrium state.
As the temperature-controlled object rises up to its operation target temperature, the coolant temperature also rises, during which the heat transfer capacity between the temperature-controlled object and the coolant is constantly rising; at the same time, the temperature difference between the cooling liquid and the environment increases, and the heat transfer capacity between the cooling liquid and the environment also increases. This increase does not continue. The temperature point of the cooling liquid exists, the heat transfer capacity of two sides reaches a balance, and the balance point represents the maximum steady-state heat transfer capacity of the system; if the amount of heat transferred into the coolant at this time is continuously greater than the maximum steady-state heat transfer capacity of the above-described system, heat starts to accumulate in the coolant, causing a temperature rise in the coolant, so that the temperature difference between the temperature control object and the coolant decreases, and the influence of increasing the pump rotation speed is insufficient to suppress the increase in the coolant temperature. This state cannot be continued for a long time, otherwise the heat transfer capacity between the temperature control object and the coolant liquid is eventually made so small that the heat entering the temperature control object cannot be transferred to the coolant liquid, resulting in the temperature of the temperature control object being out of control.
According to the thermal management control method, the dynamic control of the flow of the heat transfer medium of the loop is taken into consideration while the current temperature control capability of the loop is monitored, so that the flow of the heat transfer medium and the temperature of the heat transfer medium are regulated and controlled, the heat quantity flowing into the heat transfer medium from a temperature control object in the heat transfer loop is equal to the heat quantity transferred into the air from the heat transfer medium while a certain reserved heat transfer capability is met, and the thermal stability balance of the heat transfer loop is realized.
In the actual vehicle running process, the heat entering the temperature control object may have peaks and valleys, and in a system with well-matched components, the heat larger than the maximum steady-state heat transfer capacity of the system can exist but does not last too long, so that a feasible space is provided for statistical or predictive peak clipping and valley filling. The basic idea is that statistical or predictive analysis and calculation are carried out on heat flow entering a temperature control object in the driving process of a vehicle, the target of temperature control according to needs is realized by regulating and controlling the flow rate (namely the rotating speed of a pump) and the temperature (namely the rotating speed of a fan) of a heat transfer medium in a loop, and the power consumption of the pump and the fan are considered at the same time, so that the control is carried out in an economic and effective mode.
The thermal management control method of the present invention is applicable to not only the combination of the temperature control object and the heat exchanger shown in the above figures, but also the combination of the heating source of the temperature control object (such as various heat exchanger heaters, etc.), and the system in which the temperature control object requiring temperature reduction and temperature rise exists at the same time, and can also include various combinations of the above situations, such as series connection, parallel connection, series-parallel connection, and the like, as long as there are heat input and heat output in the heat transfer medium circuit, and heat transfer or heat transfer is realized by the circulation of the heat transfer medium driven by the pump. According to the control method, the temperature control process is quantized, and the performance and mutual matching of parts can be optimized from the perspective of thermal management.
