Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner control method and an air conditioner control apparatus.

JP-A-8-238927 IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, January / February 1998,60-73

  Patent Document 1 discloses a control device for an inside / outside air switching damper (intake door) of an automotive air conditioner. When performing control to maintain the vehicle interior temperature at the target temperature, the auto air conditioner has a method of increasing the target air temperature (TAO) as the vehicle thermal load determined by the inside air temperature (vehicle interior temperature), the outside air temperature, the amount of solar radiation, etc. increases. It has been adopted. Here, in a high heat load state in which the difference between the inside air temperature and the target temperature is large, it is possible to reach the target temperature faster by circulating the inside air that is approaching the target temperature by the air conditioning operation. Control to switch to the circulation side is performed.

  On the other hand, when the inside air temperature approaches the target temperature and the heat load decreases, control is performed to switch the inside / outside air switching damper to the outside air intake side in order to keep the air in the vehicle compartment clean. However, if the outside air is highly polluted, such as in roads and tunnels with heavy traffic, or if the outside air is very humid, such as in rainy weather, the vehicle heat Even when the load is relatively small, it may be better to maintain the inside / outside air switching damper on the inside air circulation side. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-151561 discloses a method for performing switching control of an inside / outside air switching damper by fuzzy control that takes into consideration the degree of air pollution inside and outside the vehicle and a humidity difference in addition to the vehicle thermal load.

  However, in fuzzy control, a membership function that defines the relationship between the control position of the inside / outside air switching damper and the vehicle thermal load, the air pollution degree difference inside and outside the vehicle, and the humidity difference must be defined, which is equivalent to its design. Labor is required, and it takes time to develop a control logic using the membership function.

  An object of the present invention is an easy-to-acquire model in an air conditioner control that obtains a control output related to an inside / outside air switching damper position by referring to a plurality of inputs including a vehicle thermal load, a difference in air pollution inside and outside the vehicle, and a humidity difference. To provide an air conditioner control method capable of obtaining an intended output result for an arbitrary input value with a simple algorithm with less development man-hours by simply preparing a control pattern, and an air conditioner control apparatus for realizing this. It is in.

The air conditioner control device of the present invention is

The essential input variable group is a partial input plane in which the first type input variables ξ and η are stretched with the inside / outside humidity difference ξ and the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η as the first type input variable and the vehicle thermal load β as the second type input variable. A plurality of model control patterns for determining the relationship between the value of the two-type input variable β and the value of the output variable α, which are discretely prepared for each of the above-mentioned predetermined Q (Q ≧ 4) model coordinate points, are stored. Control characteristic information storage means for

Output variable calculation means for calculating an output variable value α indicating the inside / outside air switching damper position corresponding to the input values of the essential input variable groups ξ, η, β based on the synthesis control pattern, To do.

  In the present invention, the essential input variable group used for air conditioner control includes at least the inside / outside humidity difference ξ, the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η, and the vehicle heat load β, and the variables are output variables α (inside and outside air). A second type input variable (vehicle thermal load β) that directly describes the relationship with the switching damper position as a model control pattern, and a first type input variable (internal / external humidity difference ξ and Separated into internal and external air pollution degree difference η). A plane formed by the first type input variables ξ and η is defined as a partial input plane (that is, ξ−η plane). Further, a plane on which the second type input variable β and the output variable α are stretched is set as a control pattern plane.

  Then, two or more model coordinate points are defined on the partial input plane (ξ−η plane) for various combinations of the first type input variables ξ and η, and each model coordinate point is unique (that is, the first A model control pattern (which reflects a preferable control characteristic between the second type input variable β and the output variable α) is prepared for each combination of the individual values of the one type input variables ξ and η. When the current values of the essential input variable groups ξ, η, β are acquired, if the values of the first type input variables ξ, η included therein are extracted, the coordinate points on the partial input plane are actually controlled coordinates. Can be plotted as points. Then, three or more model coordinate points existing in a predetermined morphing target area including the actual control coordinate points are specified as morphing coordinate points.

  The actual control coordinate points representing the current values of the first type input variables ξ and η change every moment, and in general, this rarely coincides with any model coordinate point. Therefore, a plurality of model coordinate points close to the actual control coordinate point are selected as the morphed coordinate points (the specific selection method varies depending on how the morphing target area is set). Each model coordinate point has a unique model control pattern. For each model control pattern, when the value of the first type input variable among the required input variable group is fixed to the coordinate value of the model coordinate point, how the output variable is set according to the value of the remaining second type input variable Although it is a control function that describes whether to change, when viewed on the control pattern plane, it can be understood as a figure having a unique shape for each model coordinate point.

  The inventor conceptually converts a control pattern (control function) into a figure and captures it, and conventionally morphing (for example, Non-Patent Document 1) specialized in the image processing field is intentionally introduced into the field of air conditioner control. As a result, it has been found that control patterns that are not originally prepared for actual control coordinate points can be easily obtained, and the present invention has been completed. That is, actual control of each morphed coordinate point on the partial input plane by regarding each model control pattern prepared corresponding to multiple morphed coordinate points on the partial input plane as a figure on the control pattern plane. Morphing can be performed in the same manner as in the case of image synthesis processing with a weight according to the distance to the coordinate point. Conventionally, the purpose was only to visually output an image synthesized by morphing. However, in the present invention, a control pattern is synthesized by morphing, and a synthesis control pattern that is a result of morphing. As a control function for determining the value of the output variable α when the second type input variable β is given, the greatest feature is that it is secondarily used in the air conditioner control process.

  The composite control pattern corresponding to the actual control coordinate point obtained by morphing is not only contradictory in terms of control technology, even though it is obtained by a pure image composition processing method. Individual model control patterns are prepared to reflect appropriate control characteristics between the second type input variable β and the output variable α for each type of input variable ξ, η (coordinate value of model coordinate point) As long as this is done, the composite control pattern can also be obtained as a precise reflection of the desired control characteristic at the actual control coordinate point. In spite of the multiple-input single-output air conditioner control, the development man-hour occupies the first type input variables ξ and η (various values of model coordinate points) for various sets. It is only mechanically repeating a process of acquiring a model control pattern indicating the relationship between the two types of input variable β and the output variable α by, for example, an experimental method. The obtained model control pattern can be immediately put into actual use just by installing it on the device, and the output result as intended can be obtained for any input value by an image synthesis algorithm that uses morphing and has few development steps. The resulting air conditioner control method and apparatus are realized.

  In the present invention, in order to optimize the position of the inside / outside air switching damper indicated by the output variable α according to the vehicle thermal load β forming the second type input variable, the control pattern is changed to the first type input variable. Can be obtained accurately and quickly by morphing the model control pattern prepared for each set of various values (that is, model coordinate points) of the inside / outside humidity difference ξ and the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η. According to ξ and the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η, it is possible to accurately determine which one of the inside air circulation and outside air intake is selected.

  The model control pattern and the synthesis control pattern are two-dimensional diagram patterns that can be drawn on the control pattern plane formed by the vehicle thermal load β that forms the second type input variable and the position α of the inside / outside air switching damper that forms the output variable. be able to. Specifically, the control pattern is such that the outside air temperature is on the outside air side when the vehicle thermal load β is deviated to a lower side than a predetermined transition region, and is the inside air side when the vehicle heat load β deviates to a higher side than the transition region. The position α of the switching damper shall be defined. By adopting such a control pattern, it is possible to quickly reach the target temperature by entering the inside air circulation mode in a high heat load state. In a low heat load state, outside air can be taken into the passenger compartment while maintaining the target temperature with a small air-conditioner operation burden. In addition, since the model control pattern is prepared as a two-dimensional diagram pattern, the data acquisition step fixes the first type input variable set ξ, η to an arbitrary value, and one second type input variable β. It is simplified to find the appropriate value of the output variable value α while simply changing the value of, which contributes to further reduction in development man-hours, and also reduces the weight of the morphing calculation algorithm because it only synthesizes the diagram pattern . It is possible to set the width of the transition region to zero, that is, to match the vehicle thermal load value at the upper limit of the transition region and the vehicle thermal load value at the lower limit as transition points, and in this case, the model control pattern is At the transition point, the inside air circulation mode and the outside air circulation mode are switched discontinuously.

  In taking in outside air, it can be said that it is desirable to reduce the latent heat load on the air conditioner that the outside air is not excessively humid. In this case, when the model control pattern is defined as a difference value obtained by subtracting the vehicle interior humidity from the vehicle exterior humidity (which can be negative), the model control pattern has a high internal / external humidity difference ξ. Indeed, it can be determined that the transition region of the vehicle thermal load β is located on the low thermal load side (if the inside / outside humidity difference ξ is defined as the difference between the inside humidity and the outside humidity, the opposite is true, Considered conceptually equivalent). That is, when the humidity outside the vehicle is high, the value of the inside / outside humidity difference ξ becomes large, and the transition region of the vehicle thermal load β appears on the low thermal load side. Therefore, the in-vehicle circulation mode is maintained until the vehicle thermal load is considerably reduced (that is, until the in-vehicle temperature is substantially close to the target temperature), and it is possible to prevent humid outdoor air having a large latent heat load from flowing into the vehicle.

  Moreover, when taking in air outside a vehicle, it is desirable from the viewpoint of keeping the air inside the vehicle interior clean that the air outside the vehicle is not excessively contaminated. In this case, when the model control pattern is defined as a difference value obtained by subtracting the outside air pollution degree from the inside air pollution degree (which can be negative), the model control pattern It can be determined that the transition region of the vehicle thermal load β is located on the low thermal load side as the pollution degree difference η becomes lower (when the inside / outside humidity difference ξ is defined as the difference between the degree of pollution inside the vehicle and the degree of pollution inside the vehicle Is the opposite, but is conceptually equivalent). That is, when the pollution degree outside the vehicle is high, the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η is small, and the transition region of the vehicle thermal load β appears on the low thermal load side. As a result, the in-vehicle circulation mode is maintained until the vehicle heat load is significantly reduced (that is, until the in-vehicle temperature approaches the target temperature), and contaminated outside air can be prevented from flowing into the vehicle. On the other hand, when the degree of pollution inside the vehicle is high, the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η becomes large, and the transition region of the vehicle thermal load β appears on the high thermal load side. Therefore, even when the vehicle heat load is relatively high (that is, even when the distance between the in-vehicle temperature and the target temperature is large), the outside air intake mode is set, so that the contaminated air in the vehicle can be replaced with clean outside air.

  The 2D diagram pattern can be defined by a fixed number of handling points arranged from the pattern start point to the pattern end point, and each handling point of the 2D diagram pattern corresponding to all model coordinate points is They can be uniquely associated according to the arrangement order. A composite handling point is generated by morphing corresponding ones of the handling points of the two-dimensional diagram pattern relating to each morphing coordinate point, and a two-dimensional diagram pattern forming a composite control pattern by the composite handling points Can be defined. By reducing the two-dimensional diagram pattern to a set of handling points, the morphing calculation target can be limited to a limited number of handling points, and the morphing calculation load can be greatly reduced. The synthesis control pattern can also be easily obtained from the synthesis handling points obtained as a result of morphing.

  The type of the two-dimensional diagram pattern defined by the handling points can be, for example, a curve pattern such as a Pezier curve or a B-spline curve, but can be a polygonal line pattern obtained by sequentially connecting the handling points in a straight line. It can contribute by simplification of operation. In addition, in the two-dimensional diagram pattern representing the control pattern, when it is desired to control the change gradient of the output variable with respect to the second type input variable discontinuously at the inflection point, the handling point representing the inflection point is Even after morphing synthesis, since it is stored as a handling point that represents the corresponding inflection point in the composition control pattern, a plurality of two-dimensional diagram patterns with different inflection point positions are geometrically blended. The bending point position can be prevented from becoming unclear.

  Next, in order to determine the morphing coordinate point easily and accurately, the morphing algorithm can be simplified by setting the morphing target area as follows. That is, by adjoining model coordinate points in the partial input plane to each other, a plurality of unit cells are arranged so as to divide the partial input plane without gaps, with each vertex being a model coordinate point. Among the plurality of unit cells, the one containing the actual control coordinate point is used as a morphing target region, and the model coordinate point forming the vertex of the unit cell is used as the morphing coordinate point. By dividing the partial input plane in advance with unit cells (morphing target areas) as described above, by determining which unit cell the actual control coordinate point belongs to, model coordinates that form the vertex of the unit cell A point can be easily determined as a morphed coordinate point.

  The minimum value of the number of vertices of a unit cell obtained by frame-linking model coordinate points dispersed in the partial input plane is 3, and the unit cell (referred to as simplex) is a triangle. Such a triangle is called Delaunay triangle. By using such Delaunay triangle as a unit cell, it is possible to obtain a composite control pattern by morphing the minimum number of model control patterns using the model coordinate points closest to the actual control coordinate points. , Process simplification can be measured.

  On the other hand, as the unit cell, the unit cell can be selected as a rectangular cell in which each coordinate axis extending on the partial input plane and each side are defined in parallel. The rectangular cell is a redundant vertex unit cell having a larger number of vertices than the Delaunay triangle that is a simplex, and by adopting this, the number of model control patterns involved in the creation of the synthesis control pattern is increased (redundancy). It is possible to increase the validity of the control content at the actual control coordinate points according to the composite control pattern.

  In addition, if all vertices of redundant vertex unit cells, that is, model coordinate points are set at random, there are two coordinate components per model coordinate point. Number) coordinate values must be considered as independent variables. However, if a rectangular cell as described above is adopted, if the length of each side of the rectangular cell (two types) is given, from the coordinates of one model coordinate point forming the vertex of the rectangular cell, other model coordinate points The coordinates of can be automatically determined. Therefore, the number of independent variables to be considered in the calculation is 2 (the number of coordinate components) +2 (the length of each side of the rectangular cell) = 4, which is calculated in comparison with the case where all model coordinate points are set at random. Can be greatly simplified. In particular, if a plurality of rectangular cells forming redundant vertex unit cells are determined to be congruent with each other, the length of each side of the rectangular cell can be made constant, so in the calculation, the coordinates of one model coordinate point are used. Only the component needs to be handled as a variable, and the number of independent variables to be considered in the calculation is only four, so that the calculation can be further simplified.

  Based on the geometric relationship between the model coordinate points that form the vertices of the rectangular cells and the actual control coordinate points, when a model control pattern corresponding to each model coordinate point is linearly interpolated to obtain a composite control pattern, By adopting the following method, the morphing algorithm can be greatly simplified. That is, it cuts in two planes parallel to each side through the actual control coordinate point of the rectangular cell. As a result, each rectangular cell is divided into four partial rectangles that share the actual control coordinate points and exclusively take one model coordinate point forming the vertex of the rectangular cell.

  Morphing is performed in such a manner that the relative volume of each partial rectangle with respect to the rectangular cell is used as a weight to the model coordinate point located on the opposite side of the rectangular cell in the diagonal direction of the model coordinate point included in the partial rectangle. According to this method, the morphing weight calculation can be converted into the volume calculation of each partial rectangle. For example, the final synthesis control pattern can be obtained by repeating model control pattern synthesis by linear interpolation between two points relatively few times. Can be easily obtained.

These motors 19, 20, and 21 are constituted by, for example, stepping motors, and the individual operations are centrally controlled by an air conditioner ECU 170 that forms the main body of the air conditioner drive control means. Further, the blower motor 23 is constituted by a brushless motor or the like, and the air flow rate is adjusted by the air conditioner ECU 170 by controlling the rotation speed by PWM control.

The water temperature sensor 57 is also composed of a temperature sensor, and measures the engine coolant temperature. The solar radiation sensor 58 is composed of an infrared sensor or the like, and measures the amount of solar radiation outside the vehicle. The outside humidity sensor 61 and the inside humidity sensor 62 measure the humidity outside and inside the car. The outside air pollution detection sensor 63 and the inside air pollution detection sensor 64 are configured by a CO ₂ sensor, an HC sensor, an odor sensor, or the like, and detect the outside air pollution degree and the inside air pollution degree. The vehicle interior surface temperature sensor 65 includes an infrared sensor (may be a matrix sensor array so that surface detection is possible) or the like, and detects the surface temperature of an interior component (such as a seat or an instrument panel).

  The in-vehicle air conditioner operation unit 100 also has an independent operation unit ECU 160, and has an air volume setting switch 52, an air outlet changeover switch 53, a temperature setting switch 54, an A / C switch 59, an auto changeover switch 103, and an inside / outside air changeover switch 60. Is connected. The operation unit ECU 160 is connected to the air conditioner ECU 170 via a communication bus 30 (for example, a serial communication bus such as a LIN communication bus).

  The operation unit ECU 160 is configured as computer hardware, and is connected to the above-described air volume setting switch 52, air outlet changeover switch 53, temperature setting switches 54D and 54P, A / C switch 59, auto changeover switch 103, and inside / outside air changeover switch 60. ing. The operation input states of the air volume setting switch 52, the air outlet changeover switch 53, the temperature setting switches 54D and 54P, the A / C switch 59, the auto changeover switch 103 or the inside / outside air changeover switch 60 are transmitted from the operation unit ECU 160 via the communication bus 30. To the air conditioner ECU 170.

Specifically, the air conditioner ECU 170 performs the following control in cooperation with the operation unit ECU 160 by executing an air conditioner control firmware mounted in a built-in ROM or the like.
In response to the operation input state of the inside / outside air changeover switch 60, a control command is issued to the corresponding drive IC of the motor 21 so that the inside / outside air switching damper 15 is tilted to either the inside air side or the outside air side.
The operation of the evaporator 17 is turned on / off according to the operation state of the A / C switch 59.

Based on the input state of the auto switch 103, the operation mode of the air conditioner is switched between the manual mode and the auto mode (mode switching means).
In the auto mode, reference is made to the input information of the set temperature by the temperature setting switches 54D and 54P and the output information of the inside air sensor 55, the outside air sensor 56, the water temperature sensor 57, the solar radiation sensor 58 and the vehicle thermal load sensor 61, and the inside temperature The corresponding motor 19 is adjusted so that the blowout temperature adjustment by adjusting the opening degree of the air mix damper 3, the air volume adjustment by the blower motor 23, and the position change of the blowout switching dampers 7, 8, 9 are performed so that , 23 and 20 are issued.

Thus, a drive control command to the motor 20 is performed.

  Regarding the position switching control of the inside / outside air switching damper, the air conditioner control apparatus CA refers to the essential input variable group including at least the inside / outside humidity difference ξ, the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η, and the vehicle thermal load β, and the inside / outside air switching damper. The value of the output variable α indicating the position of 15 is calculated, and the position switching control of the inside / outside air switching damper 15 of the air conditioner is performed based on the obtained output variable value α.

The above-described firmware implements the following function implementation means by computer processing.
Control characteristic information storage means: The value of the output variable (position α of the inside / outside air switching damper 15) is determined according to the value of the essential input variable group (inside / outside humidity difference ξ, inside / outside air pollution degree difference η and vehicle thermal load β). As control characteristic information to be performed, predetermined Q pieces (Q in the partial input plane MPS (here, ξ-η plane) on which a first type input variable ((internal / external humidity difference ξ, internal / external air pollution degree difference η) is stretched) ≧ 4: As shown in FIG. 3A, in this embodiment, the case of Q = 30 is exemplified) A plurality of discretely prepared second type input variables (vehicle thermal load β) for each model coordinate point p Is stored in a model control pattern P (FIG. 3A) that defines the relationship between this value and an output variable (position α = value of the inside / outside air switching damper 15). The control data memory 171 in FIG.

-Morphed coordinate point specifying means: When a three-dimensional input value px of an essential input variable group (internal / external humidity difference ξ, internal / external air pollution degree difference η and vehicle thermal load β) is given, as shown in FIG. A coordinate point on the partial input plane MPS (ξ-η plane) of the first type input variable (internal / external humidity difference ξ, internal / external air pollution degree difference η) included in the value px is set as an actual control coordinate point px, and the partial input plane J (Q> J ≧ 3: where J = 3, and morphing target area DT is present in a predetermined morphing target area DT including actual control coordinate points px in MPS (ξ-η plane). The model coordinate point p of the Delaunay triangle is specified as the morphed coordinate points pa, pb, pc.
Control pattern morphing means: In the control pattern plane CPS (here, β-α plane) formed by the second type input variable (vehicle thermal load β) and the output variable (position α of the inside / outside air switching damper 15), The shape of the J model control patterns Pa, Pb, Pc corresponding to the morphing coordinate points pa, pb, pc is controlled by the actual control of the morphing coordinate points pa, pb, pc on the partial input plane MPS (ξ-η plane). A composite control pattern Px corresponding to the actual control coordinate point px is created by morphing with a weight corresponding to the distance to the coordinate point px.
Output variable calculation means: calculates the value of the second type input variable (the output variable corresponding to the vehicle thermal load β (the position α of the inside / outside air switching damper 15)) based on the composite control pattern Px.

  Hereinafter, operation | movement of the air-conditioner control apparatus CA is demonstrated in detail. As shown in FIG. 2, the air conditioner ECU 170 acquires the humidity detection values of the outside humidity sensor 61 and the inside humidity sensor 62 in order to calculate the set value of the position α of the inside / outside air switching damper 15 that is an output variable, The inside / outside humidity difference ξ is calculated as a difference value obtained by subtracting the inside humidity from the outside humidity (which can be negative). In addition, the detection values of the outside air pollution detection sensor 63 and the inside air pollution detection sensor 64 are acquired, and using these, the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η is obtained by subtracting the outside pollution degree from the inside pollution degree (becoming a negative value). Is also allowed).

Further, the vehicle thermal load β is calculated according to the well-known formula (units in SI unit system are shown in parentheses).
β (J) = A (J) + B (W) × t (sec) (i)
Here, the parameter A means the amount of heat necessary for the vehicle interior temperature to reach the set temperature when the heat transfer between the vehicle interior and the outside is assumed to be zero (that is, under the virtual adiabatic condition). To do. On the other hand, there is actually heat transfer between the vehicle interior and outside due to temperature difference between inside and outside, solar radiation, etc., and parameter B is the amount of work that the air conditioner spends canceling the heat transfer after reaching the set temperature, In other words, it means the air-conditioner operating load (work amount) necessary to maintain the set temperature after reaching the set temperature.

Then, the inside temperature detected by the inside air sensor 55 is Tr (° C.), the outside temperature detected by the outside air sensor 56 is Tam (° C.), the set temperature by the temperature setting switch 54 is Tset (° C.), and the amount of solar radiation of the solar sensor 58 is set. When Ts (kW / m ² ), the temperature detected by the vehicle interior surface temperature sensor 65 is Tir (° C.), and the vehicle interior space volume specified for each vehicle is S (m ³ ), the above parameters A and B are Are represented by the following equations, respectively.
A (J) = S × {K1 · (Tr−Tset) + K2 · Tam + K3 · Ts
+ K4 · Tir + C1} + C2 (ii)
B (W) = S × (K5 · Tset + K6 · Tam + K7 · Ts + C3)
+ C4 (iii)
K1 to K4 and C1 to C4 are constants.

  A set of the inside / outside humidity difference ξ and the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η calculated and acquired as described above represents the actual control coordinate point px on the partial input plane MPS (ξ−η plane). On the other hand, a set of various values of the inside / outside humidity difference ξ and the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η (first type input variable) is defined as a model coordinate point p, and as shown in FIG. Stores model control patterns Pi (≡ P1 to P30) for each model coordinate point pi (ξi, ηi).

  As shown in FIG. 4, each model control pattern Pi (≡ P1 to P30: FIG. 5) is stretched by the vehicle thermal load β (second type input variable) and the position α (output variable) of the inside / outside air switching damper 15. It is a two-dimensional diagram pattern that can be drawn on the control pattern plane CPS (β-α plane). The control pattern Pi switches between the inside and outside air so that the outside air intake mode is set when the vehicle thermal load β is deviated to a lower side than a predetermined transition region Δθ, and the inside air circulation mode is set when the vehicle thermal load β is deviated to a higher side than the transition region. It defines the position α of the damper. When the vehicle thermal load β exists in the transition region Δθ shown on the left in FIG. 4, the inside / outside air switching damper 15 has an intermediate opening degree corresponding to the value of α, and the air volume corresponding to the opening degree is In this mode, both inside and outside air are taken in.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when each model control pattern P1 to P30 is defined as a difference value obtained by subtracting the vehicle interior humidity from the vehicle exterior humidity ξ (which can be a negative value), the inside / outside humidity difference ξ It is determined that the transition region of the vehicle thermal load β is located on the low thermal load side as ξ increases. Further, each model control pattern P1 to P30 is determined such that the transition region of the vehicle thermal load β is located on the low thermal load side as the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η decreases. The center point θm of the transition region Δθ can be regarded as a switching temperature at which switching from the outside air side (cooling side) to the inside air side (heating side).

  When the outside humidity of the vehicle is high, the value of the inside / outside humidity difference ξ becomes large, and the transition region Δθ of the vehicle thermal load β appears on the low thermal load side. Therefore, the in-vehicle circulation mode is maintained until the vehicle thermal load is considerably reduced (that is, until the in-vehicle temperature is substantially close to the target temperature), and it is possible to prevent humid outdoor air having a large latent heat load from flowing into the vehicle. When the degree of pollution outside the vehicle is high, the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η is small, and the transition region Δθ of the vehicle thermal load β appears on the low thermal load side. As a result, the in-vehicle circulation mode is maintained until the vehicle thermal load β is considerably reduced (that is, until the in-vehicle temperature approaches the target temperature considerably), and contaminated outside air can be prevented from flowing into the vehicle. On the other hand, when the degree of pollution inside the vehicle is high, the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η becomes large, and the transition region Δθ of the vehicle thermal load β appears on the high thermal load side. Therefore, even when the vehicle heat load is relatively high (that is, even when the distance between the in-vehicle temperature and the target temperature is large), the outside air intake mode is set, so that the contaminated air in the vehicle can be replaced with clean outside air.

  As shown in FIG. 5, each model control pattern has a certain number (nine in the figure) of handling points hi arranged from the starting point to the ending point, and is obtained by sequentially connecting the handling points hi. It is defined as a broken line pattern. Therefore, the control pattern P can be uniquely defined as a set of coordinate values on the β-α plane of the handling points hi, and the handling points h of the model control patterns Pi are arranged in the order of arrangement. To form a unique correspondence.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the partial input plane MPS (ξ−η plane) in which the inside / outside humidity difference ξ and the inside / outside air pollution degree difference η, which are the first type input variables, are stretched with each model coordinate point as a vertex. It is partitioned without gaps by unit cells DT forming Delaunay triangles (simplex). A specific control flow using the Delaunay triangle is shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, the unit cell DT to which the actual control coordinate point px having as a coordinate component the set of the acquired inside / outside humidity difference ξ and inside / outside air pollution degree difference η is specified (S1). Then, three model coordinate points forming each vertex of the specified unit cell DT are selected as the morphing coordinate points pa, pb, pc (S2).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, three model control patterns Pa, Pb, Pc corresponding to the morphed coordinate points pa, pb, pc are read from the control data memory 170 (S3), and the partial input plane MPS (ξ− The composite control pattern Px corresponding to the actual control coordinate point px is created by morphing with a weight corresponding to the distance to the actual control coordinate point px of each morphed coordinate point pa, pb, pc in the η plane) ( S4). This calculation is performed by the morphing calculation unit 172 of FIG.

  FIG. 7 conceptually shows a polymorphing algorithm using Delaunay triangles in the control pattern. In this example, three control pattern figures P0, P1, and P2 corresponding to the Delaunay triangle vertices are synthesized. Wij is a warp function from Pi to Pj, on Pj corresponding to each point on Pi. Identify the points. In order to generate the synthesis control pattern P, first, Wij is applied to the barycentric coordinates gj of Pj, and Wij is linearly interpolated for each Pi to derive an intermediate warp function Wibar. Two adjacent Pis are intermediately synthesized with a weight corresponding to the px center-of-gravity coordinate G * of the actual control coordinate point by the Wi bar to generate an intermediate control pattern Pi bar. The synthesis control pattern Px is obtained by linearly combining each point (specifically, each handling point) of the Pi bar with a weight indicated by the barycentric coordinates gj.

  FIG. 8 shows this in a more concrete manner. In the ξ-η plane, the morphing coordinate points pa, pb, pc are points A, B, C, respectively, and the actual control coordinates. Let the point px be the point X. Considering a straight line that intersects each side from the vertices A, B, and C of the triangle ABC through the point X, and the intersections with each side are D, E, and F, each component of the barycentric coordinates G * of px is , Ga, gb, and gc in the figure are expressed by the equation (1). The coordinate value of each point and the length of each line segment in the figure can be calculated by a well-known analytical geometry method, but since both are elementary, detailed description is omitted. Then, the three intermediate control patterns Pi bar can be calculated by Equation (2) as Pd, Pe, and Pf in the figure. As a result, Px can be calculated as a linear combination of Pd, Pe, and Pf with ga, gb, and gc as weights.

  Here, as described above, the substance of each model control pattern Pa, Pb, Pc corresponding to the morphed coordinate points pa, pb, pc is a polygonal line pattern obtained by connecting the same number of handling points, and β Since it is equivalent to the set of coordinate values of the handling point hi on the α plane, intermediate control can be performed by substituting the coordinate values of the corresponding handling points into Pa, Pb, and Pc in equation (2) of FIG. A set of handling points of the patterns Pd, Pe, and Pf can be obtained, and further, a set of handling points of the synthesis control pattern Px can be obtained by substituting this into the equation (3). When these are connected to each other, a final synthesis control pattern Px is obtained. Then, on this composite control pattern Px, the value of the position α of the inside / outside air switching damper 15 corresponding to the value of the currently detected vehicle thermal load β (second type input variable) is read and output as a control value. (S5).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the partial input plane MPS (ξ-η plane) can be partitioned by redundant vertex unit cells DT having a larger number of vertices than the Delaunay triangle (simplex). By adopting the redundant vertex unit cell HCB having a larger number of vertices than that of the simplex, the number of model control patterns Pa, Pb, Pc, Pd involved in the creation of the composite control pattern Px is increased (redundancy: here 3 → 4) and the validity of the control content at the actual control coordinate point px according to the composite control pattern Px can be further increased.

  In this embodiment, the redundant vertex unit cell HCB is selected as a rectangular cell HCB having four vertices. If all of the vertices of the redundant vertex unit cell HCB, that is, the model coordinate points are set at random, there are two coordinate components per model coordinate point, so 2 × (the total number of vertices) ) Coordinate values must be considered as independent variables. However, when the rectangular cell HCB as described above is employed, if the length of each side of the rectangular cell HCB (M types) is given, from the coordinates of one model coordinate point forming the vertex of the rectangular cell HCB, The coordinates of model coordinate points can be determined automatically.

  As shown in FIG. 13, if the coordinates of the model coordinate point pa forming the vertex of the rectangle (rectangular cell) HCB closest to the origin of the ξ-η plane (partial input plane) is (ξa, ηa), the rectangular cell HCB With the side length in the ξ-axis direction of Δξ and the side length in the η-coordinate axis direction as Δη, the remaining three model coordinate points pb, pc, pd are pb: (ξa + Δξ, ηa), pc: (ξa, ηa + Δη), pc: (ξa + Δξ, ηa + Δη). As shown in FIG. 10, when the rectangular cells HCB forming the redundant vertex unit cells are all determined to be congruent (that is, the model coordinate points are arranged in a matrix at equal intervals in the ξ axis direction and the η axis direction, respectively). Δξ and Δη are constant, that is, constant. Therefore, in the morphing calculation, only the coordinate components ξa and ηa of one model coordinate point need be handled as independent variables, and only two independent variables ξ and η to be considered in the calculation are required. Significant simplification can be achieved.

  A specific control flow using this rectangular cell HCB (rectangular) is shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 10, a rectangular cell HCB to which an actual control coordinate point px having a set of calculated and acquired internal / external humidity difference ξ and internal / external air contamination degree difference η as a coordinate component belongs is specified. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, four model coordinate points forming each vertex of the specified rectangular cell HCB are selected as morphed coordinate points pa, pb, pc, pd, and four model controls corresponding to these are selected. Patterns Pa, Pb, Pc, Pd are read from the control data memory 170 (S201), and up to the actual control coordinate point px of each morphed coordinate point pa, pb, pc, pd on the partial input plane MPS (ξ-η plane). The composite control pattern Px corresponding to the actual control coordinate point px is created by morphing with the weight according to the distance (S202). This calculation is performed by the morphing calculation unit 172 of FIG.

  FIG. 13 conceptually shows a control pattern polymorphing algorithm using a rectangular cell HCB. Two morphing coordinate points pa, pb, pc, pd are respectively A, B, C, D and pass through the actual control coordinate point px of the rectangular cell HCB and parallel to each side (CA, DB and CD, AB). Cut along the straight line. As a result, the rectangular cell HCB shares the actual control coordinate point X (px), and the four partial rectangles SCB that exclusively take one model coordinate point forming the vertex of the rectangular cell HCB, specifically, Is divided into rectangles CKXN (area: Sb), NXLD (area: Sa), KAMX (area: Sd), and KMBL (area: Sd).

Then, the relative area (relative volume) of each partial rectangle (partial rectangle) SCB to the rectangular cell HCB is the model coordinate point (ie, the model coordinate point included in the partial rectangle SCB opposite to the rectangular cell HCB in the diagonal direction). , Pa for pd, pb for pc, pd for pa, and pc for pb). That is, if the area of the rectangular cell HCB is S0, the synthesis control pattern Px is
Px = (1 / S0) × (Sa · Pa + Sb · Pb + Sc · Pc + Sd · Pd)
(13)
Can be synthesized.

  The algorithm for the morphing operation is actually quite equivalent to obtaining the synthesis control pattern Px by sequentially executing the following interpolation synthesis operation. That is, between the two model coordinate points adjacent to each other in the coordinate axis direction of the rectangular cell HCB, the orthogonal projection point of the actual control coordinate point px to the line segment extended by these model coordinate points is used as a branch point. A primary intermediate control pattern is synthesized based on the principle. Next, an orthographic projection point of the actual control coordinate point px is newly provided as a dividing point with respect to a line segment extending from the corresponding orthographic projection point with respect to the primary intermediate control pattern obtained for two opposing sides of each surface of the rectangular cell HCB. The primary intermediate control patterns are synthesized with respect to the minute points according to the principle of the lever to obtain the secondary intermediate control pattern. This series of processing is repeated until the minute point reaches the actual control coordinate point X. Regardless of which side of the rectangular cell HCB the interpolation calculation is started, the final results are all the same.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of the calculation. That is, if the orthogonal projection point of the actual control coordinate point px to the line segment DB is L and the orthogonal projection point of the actual control coordinate point px to the line segment CA is KL, the primary intermediate control pattern PL on the line segment DB side Is calculated by the equation (11) in the drawing, and the primary intermediate control pattern PK on the line segment CA side is calculated by the equation (12) in the drawing. Since the actual control coordinate point X exists on the line segment KL, when the secondary intermediate control pattern is obtained using the primary intermediate control patterns PL and PK using the actual control coordinate point X as a dividing point, the composite control pattern Px according to the equation (13) is obtained. Can be easily understood geometrically. The result of expressing Px using ξa and ηa is shown in equation (17).
