Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes steps S101 to S104.
S101, acquiring reference PTC power required by the PTC power control system and acquiring PTC power of each PTC heating branch when all the PTC in the PTC heating branches based on PWM control are conducted.
The reference PTC power is the minimum power required by the PTC power control system and capable of ensuring normal operation of the system.
In this embodiment, when all the PTCs in the plurality of PTC heating branches based on PWM control are turned on, each PTC heating branch has its own PTC power, and the PTC power of each PTC heating branch may be the same or different, and may be specifically determined according to parameters such as a chip and an operation requirement adopted by each PTC heating branch.
S102, comparing the reference PTC power with the PTC power of each PTC heating branch circuit to obtain a comparison result.
In this embodiment, the comparing the reference PTC power with the PTC power of each PTC heating branch comprises:
comparing the reference PTC power with the PTC power of each PTC heating branch.
Wherein, the comparison result may include:
(1) The reference PTC power is smaller than or equal to the PTC power corresponding to the PTC heating branch circuit with the smallest power when all the PTC in the PTC heating branch circuits based on PWM control are conducted.
(2) The reference PTC power is larger than the PTC power corresponding to any PTC heating branch when all the PTC in the PTC heating branches based on PWM control are conducted.
It should be noted that the PWM control strategies adopted subsequently for different comparison results are also different, so that the PTC power can be adjusted specifically under different comparison results.
S103, determining a PWM control strategy of the PTC heating branch circuit based on the comparison result.
In this embodiment, the determining the PWM control strategy of the PTC heating branch based on the comparison result includes:
(1) When the comparison result is that the reference PTC power is smaller than or equal to the PTC power corresponding to the PTC heating branch with the smallest power when all the PTC in the PTC heating branches based on PWM control are conducted, determining the PTC heating branch with the smallest power as a first branch, and determining the PWM control strategy as a first strategy; the first strategy is to control the first branch to be conducted, and to control the power of the first branch in a PWM chopping mode, and to control the other PTC heating branches of the plurality of PTC heating branches based on PWM control except the first branch to be turned off.
Wherein, the PWM chopping refers to a technique of controlling the magnitude of voltage or current by changing the pulse width of a signal.
For example: when the reference PTC power is 40W, if the PTC power corresponding to the PTC heating branch having the smallest power when all the PTCs in the plurality of PTC heating branches based on PWM control are turned on is 50W, since 40W is smaller than 50W, the system requirement can be met by only opening the PTC heating branch having the smallest PTC power (i.e., the first branch), at this time, the first policy can be determined to control only the first branch to be turned on, and the first branch is controlled by adopting the PWM chopping mode, and meanwhile, other PTC heating branches except for the first branch in the plurality of PTC heating branches based on PWM control are controlled to be turned off, so that unnecessary consumption is avoided.
(2) When the comparison result shows that the reference PTC power is larger than the PTC power corresponding to any PTC heating branch when all the PTC in the PTC heating branches based on PWM control are conducted, determining the PWM control strategy as a second strategy; the second strategy is to control the configuration PTC heating branch circuit in the PTC heating branch circuits based on PWM control to be fully opened, control the preset PTC heating branch circuit in the PTC heating branch circuits based on PWM control to be conducted, and control the power of the preset PTC heating branch circuit in a PWM chopping mode, and control other PTC heating branch circuits except the configuration PTC heating branch circuit and the preset PTC heating branch circuit in the PTC heating branch circuits based on PWM control to be turned off.
Wherein, after the PWM control strategy is determined as the second strategy, the method further includes:
acquiring PTC power of the PTC heating branch circuit as first power;
calculating the difference between the reference PTC power and the first power to obtain residual power;
and selecting a branch circuit from other PTC heating branch circuits except the PTC heating branch circuit according to the residual power from the PTC heating branch circuits based on PWM control as the preset PTC heating branch circuit.
Specifically, the selecting, according to the residual power, a branch from other PTC heating branches of the plurality of PTC heating branches based on PWM control, except for the configuration PTC heating branch, as the preset PTC heating branch includes:

selecting a branch combination with the smallest sum from the plurality of branch combinations as the target combination;
and determining each PTC heating branch in the target combination as the preset PTC heating branch.
For example: when the reference PTC power is 100W, if the PTC power of the configured PTC heating branches is 50W, the remaining power is 100W-50 w=50w, then any combination of any form and any number of branches is performed on other PTC heating branches of the plurality of PTC heating branches based on PWM control, except for the configured PTC heating branches, so that the sum of the required PTC powers of all the branches in each combination after the combination is greater than or equal to the remaining power 50W, and further, a branch combination with the smallest sum of the required PTC powers of all the branches in the combination is selected from the obtained combinations as the target combination, and each PTC heating branch in the target combination is determined as the preset PTC heating branch. Further, it may be determined that the second control policy is to control the configuration PTC heating branch to be fully opened, control the preset PTC heating branch to be turned on, and perform power control on the preset PTC heating branch by using a PWM chopping manner, and control other PTC heating branches, except for the configuration PTC heating branch and the preset PTC heating branch, among the plurality of PTC heating branches based on PWM control to be turned off. The second strategy can configure the PTC heating branch combination with the lowest sum of PTC power on the premise of ensuring the power required by the system, so that the energy consumption of the system is ensured to be the lowest while the power requirement of the system is met, and the cost is saved.
S104, calculating target PTC power of the PTC power control system based on the PWM control strategy.
In this embodiment, the calculating the target PTC power of the PTC power control system based on the PWM control strategy includes:

The first current sampling time point is Tb, the first CNT value is Ta, and the control period is a duration corresponding to each high-level waveform in the IGBT driving waveforms. It can be seen that when the PTC of a single leg is controlled in PWM fashion, the current sampling time point is the midpoint of the IGBT drive waveform.
In this embodiment, the calculating the target PTC power of the PTC power control system based on the PWM control strategy further comprises:
when the PWM control strategy is the second strategy, calculating a second current sampling time point and a third current sampling time point;

calculating the sum of the first numerical value and the second CNT value as the second current sampling time point;
the second current sampling time point is a midpoint of an IGBT driving waveform generated in the IGBT driving process.
Specifically, the calculating the third current sampling time point includes:
in the IGBT turn-off process, acquiring the time interval between every two second CNT values as a total period;
calculating the difference between the total period and the control period to obtain a second value;
calculating the product of the second value and 0.5 as a third value;
calculating the sum of the second CNT value, the control period and the third numerical value to obtain the third current sampling time point;
the third current sampling time point is a midpoint of an IGBT driving waveform generated in the IGBT turn-off process.
For example: fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a current sampling time point corresponding to the second strategy according to the embodiment of the present application. The second current sampling time point is T2, the second CNT value is T1, and the third current sampling time point is T3. It can be seen that when there are multiple PTC heating branches, a determination is made according to the power required by the system, which is equal to the sum of the power of the fully-open branch and the power of the PWM control branch.
By the embodiment, the accuracy of power control can be ensured by combining different driving phases and different sampling moments.
In this embodiment, after calculating the target PTC power of the PTC power control system based on the PWM control strategy, the method further comprises:
and controlling the PTC heating branches based on PWM control to heat by utilizing the target PTC power.
Through the embodiment, the effective control of the heating process can be further realized through the effective control of the PTC power so as to meet the heating requirement.
According to the technical scheme, the reference PTC power and the PTC power of each PTC heating branch circuit when all the PTC heating branch circuits based on PWM control are conducted can be compared, so that the PWM control strategy of the PTC heating branch circuit is determined, the target PTC power of the PTC power control system is calculated based on the PWM control strategy, accurate sampling and control of the PTC power based on multipath PWM are achieved, and accuracy of power control is improved.
