Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle air conditioning system, for example, a vehicle air conditioning system applied to a knitted vehicle formed by a plurality of railway vehicles.

  As a conventional vehicle air conditioning system, for example, “If any auxiliary power supply fails, the calculation unit subtracts the required power of the critical load from the power that can be covered by the remaining normal auxiliary power supply. The number of air conditioners that can be operated simultaneously with the remaining electric power is obtained, and the control unit causes the air conditioners of each vehicle to be operated in order at a predetermined cycle by the number of simultaneously operable units obtained by the calculation unit ”(see Patent Document 1). ).

  In such a case, “Even if one of the auxiliary power supply devices fails, the air conditioning can be intermittently performed within the reduced power capacity of each vehicle, and the interior of each vehicle is suddenly uncomfortable. It is said that the reduction of service to passengers is reduced (see Patent Document 1).

  For example, “If one of the auxiliary power supply inverters 13A fails, after the load is reduced in advance, the extension power supply contactor 15 is closed. After the extension power supply contactor 15 is closed, the auxiliary power supply The inverter 13B bears the load of the failed auxiliary power source inverter 13A "(see Patent Document 2).

  In such a case, “pantographs are installed on the leading vehicle and the last vehicle, so that even if a line break occurs in the pantograph 10A of the leading vehicle during travel (the pantograph and the overhead line are instantaneously separated). The auxiliary power supply 13 is continuously supplied with electric power ”(see Patent Document 2).

JP-A-6-178402 (summary, FIG. 3) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2004-36412 (paragraph 0007, FIG. 2)

  However, in either of Patent Documents 1 and 2, when one of the auxiliary power supplies fails, the operation pattern of the air conditioner is uniformly determined. Therefore, there is a problem that the control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle is not performed.

  Specifically, in such a conventional vehicle air conditioning system, when one of the auxiliary power supply devices fails, power is supplied from the normal auxiliary power supply system. As a result, when the upper limit of the capacity of the air conditioner is compared with that in a healthy state, the capacity is set to be lower than that in the case where no auxiliary power supply has failed. A state in which the air conditioner is operated at such an upper limit value is called a half operation. Therefore, in half operation, the upper limit of the capacity of the air conditioner is operated in a controlled state. As a result, depending on the load situation in the vehicle, it may not be possible to demonstrate sufficient ability to lower the temperature in the vehicle to the set temperature. Therefore, there is a problem that the service is lowered due to the passenger feeling uncomfortable.

  Further, when the air conditioner is instructed to perform a half operation, the air conditioner is operated at the upper limit value of the uniform operation as described above. Thereby, even if there was a margin in the power supplied to the auxiliary power supply, the air conditioner could not be operated beyond the upper limit. For example, it is assumed that there is a vehicle with a small air conditioning load that can keep the inside of the vehicle at a set temperature by a blowing operation that does not operate the compressor. In that case, since there is a vehicle that does not operate the compressor, there is a margin in the power supplied to the auxiliary power supply. Nevertheless, the air conditioner was not operated beyond the limited upper limit. In other words, there is a problem that even if it is a case where the capacity of the air conditioner can be fully exerted, only an operation with a reduced upper limit value can be performed.

  For example, when one air conditioner is installed in one vehicle, two 20 kVA compressors, one 1 kVA indoor fan, and one 1 kVA outdoor fan are installed. Then, the power consumption of the air conditioner of that one vehicle is 42 kVA. Further, assuming that the capacity of the important load is 2 kVA, two auxiliary power supply devices are mounted in one train at 240 kVA, and there are six trains in one train, the power consumption in one train is 264 kVA. At this time, if one auxiliary power supply device fails and the power supply / reception device operates, power is supplied by the remaining one normal auxiliary power supply device. First, when the important load is subtracted, 228 kVA is the power capacity that can be supplied to the air conditioner. In this case, since the power capacity is 38 kVA per unit, full operation cannot be performed. Therefore, for example, in half operation, by carrying out unload operation with reduced compressor capacity, 14 kVA per compressor is set to 34 kVA of 38 kVA or less per air conditioner so that the allowable capacity is not exceeded. Air-conditioning operation was carried out with a uniform operation pattern.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and even if any of the auxiliary power supplies breaks down, the vehicle air conditioner can perform control in accordance with the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle. Is to provide a system.

A vehicle air-conditioning system according to the present invention is provided in a knitted vehicle composed of a plurality of connected vehicles, and a plurality of auxiliary power supplies that supply power to equipment mounted on the knitted vehicle, and each vehicle of the knitted vehicle. An air conditioner for air-conditioning the vehicle, a temperature measuring device for measuring the temperature in the vehicle of each train, and at least one of the plurality of auxiliary power supplies has failed. And calculating means for calculating the operating state of each air conditioner corresponding to a failure after the power consumption of the air conditioner of the trained vehicle is once reduced and operating, and the calculating means is an auxiliary power supply that is functioning normally The electric power C that can be supplied to all the air conditioners of the trained vehicle is obtained from the difference between the power A that can be supplied by the vehicle and the power B of a predetermined device mounted on the trained vehicle, and the set temperature and the temperature measurement of each vehicle Measured by equipment The priority of each air conditioner is determined according to the difference with the vehicle temperature, the limit of the operation of the air conditioner with high priority of each air conditioner is reduced, and the operation of the air conditioner with low priority of each air conditioner is reduced. The limit is increased, and the operating state of each air conditioner corresponding to the failure is obtained so that the power consumption of all the air conditioners of the trained vehicle is within the electric power C.

  The vehicle air conditioning system according to the present invention is controlled according to the priority of the operating state of the air conditioner of each vehicle, so that even if any auxiliary power source fails, the vehicle air conditioning system can respond to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle. You can control.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a vehicle air conditioning system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a knitted vehicle 100 equipped with a vehicle air-conditioning system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the organized vehicle 100 is composed of a leading vehicle 101, an intermediate vehicle 102a, an intermediate vehicle 102b following the intermediate vehicle 102a, and a plurality of vehicles (not shown) following the intermediate vehicle 102b.

  Next, details of each vehicle will be described. The leading vehicle 101 includes an air conditioner 110a, an air conditioner control device 111a, a vehicle information control device 112a, a train information management device 113, a return temperature sensor 120a, an in-vehicle environment sensor 121a, and a variable load sensor 122a. Similarly, the intermediate vehicle 102a includes an air conditioner 110b, an air conditioner controller 111b, a vehicle information controller 112b, a return temperature sensor 120b, an in-vehicle environment sensor 121b, and a variable load sensor 122b. Although not shown, the intermediate vehicle 102b is also provided with the same vehicle, and a plurality of vehicles (not shown) following the intermediate vehicle 102b are also provided with the same vehicle. Needless to say, the intermediate vehicles 102a and 102b and the plurality of vehicles following the intermediate vehicle 102b do not have a crew room because they are not leading vehicles. Therefore, the train information management device 113 is not provided. Further, each air conditioning control device 111 may control the air conditioning device 110 mounted on the same vehicle. In addition, the air conditioning control device 111 may control the air conditioning device 110 mounted on another vehicle. In addition, the train information management device 113 may control all the air conditioners 110 mounted on the formation vehicle 100.

  Here, the air conditioners 110a and 110b are controlled by the air conditioning controllers 111a and 111b so that the environment in the vehicle becomes comfortable. First, return temperature sensors 120a and 120b installed on the back of the interior ceiling detect the temperature of the interior air flowing from a return air filter (not shown) installed on the interior ceiling. Furthermore, in-vehicle environment sensors 121a and 121b installed on the wall surface near the strap inside the vehicle always detect the in-vehicle humidity and also detect the temperature of the in-vehicle air during heating. Moreover, the variable load sensors 122a and 122b installed in the lower part of the vehicle detect the pressure applied to the vehicle. Then, the boarding rate is calculated by the vehicle information control devices 112a and 112b based on the detected pressure. Specifically, the difference between the pressure when the vehicle is empty and the detected pressure is calculated, and the difference is divided by the pressure value based on the weight of the passengers of the standard physique. Is calculated. Then, the boarding rate is calculated by dividing the calculated number of passengers by a predetermined number of boarding passengers. For example, the calculated boarding rate is used as the boarding rate when 1 second has elapsed since the door of the vehicle was closed. This value is held as the boarding rate until the next door opening and closing.

  In addition, the train information management device 113 installed in the crew room of the leading vehicle 101 issues a command to the vehicle information control devices 112a and 112b based on the information aggregated via the transmission line. Specifically, in the train information management device 113, the door opening / closing state, the air conditioning operation state, the boarding rate, the outside temperature, and the like are integrated and managed. The air conditioning operation state includes in-vehicle temperature, in-vehicle humidity, cooling, heating, air blowing, dehumidification, strong air conditioning operation, fine air conditioning operation, air conditioning stop, and the like. In this state, the train information management device 113 appropriately sends information such as a cooling command, a heating command, a set temperature, a boarding rate, and door information as a door open / close state to the vehicle information control devices 112a and 112b via transmission lines. Sent.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the formation vehicle 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an electrical configuration of the formation vehicle 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the formation vehicle 100 is equipped with, for example, two 240 kVA auxiliary power supply devices 180 a and 180 b per formation. The auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b are auxiliary circuit power supplies. The auxiliary circuit referred to here is a load other than the driving source of the vehicle. For example, the auxiliary circuit is an air compressor (not shown) used for opening / closing a door, air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f, various displays, a rectifier, illumination, and the like. Of these auxiliary circuits, the loads required during operation other than the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f are the important loads 200a, 200b,. Such important loads 200a, 200b,... 200f are, for example, various displays, rectifiers, brake controls, door closing devices for opening and closing doors, or lighting in the vehicle. On the other hand, the VVVF inverter control device (not shown) is a power source for driving the vehicle. Thereby, the motor of the train is driven and the vehicle moves forward. The auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b and the VVVF inverter control device are all supplied with power from an overhead line. Therefore, a battery (not shown) is also mounted on each vehicle in case the power supply from the overhead line stops. Thereby, even if it is in the situation where electric power is not supplied from auxiliary power unit 180a, 180b and a VVVF inverter control device, formation vehicle 100 may be made to drive.

  In addition, one power supply / reception device 190 is installed near the middle of the knitted vehicle 100. The power supply / reception device 190 is configured as a connection circuit for using the auxiliary power supply device 180b as a power supply for the auxiliary circuit when the auxiliary power supply device 180a fails, for example. Note that the power supply device 190 may be switched to the auxiliary power supply device 180b without using the power supply / reception device 190, and power may be supplied from the auxiliary power supply device 180b without using such a connection device. Also good.

  In other words, normally, power is supplied to the auxiliary circuit by both auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b, but when one of them fails and does not operate, only one of them supplies power to the auxiliary circuit. It only needs to be configured.

  Further, when none of the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b is operated, power may be supplied to the auxiliary circuit or the like by the battery equipped in each vehicle as described above.

  Next, the electrical configuration of one vehicle will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an electrical configuration of one vehicle in the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the intermediate vehicle 102f includes, for example, an air conditioner 110f. The air conditioner 110f includes an air conditioner control device 111f. The air conditioning control device 111f controls the air conditioning device 110f, so that the interior of the vehicle is kept in a comfortable state. The air conditioning control device 111f may be used not only for air conditioning control but also as a relay device for various control signals. For example, the air conditioning operation control command from the train information management device 113 may be controlled by the air conditioning device 110f via the air conditioning control device 111f. Further, for example, the air conditioning operation control command from the air conditioning control device 111b may be controlled by the air conditioning device 110f via the air conditioning control device 111f. As described above, by appropriately using one or more of the air conditioning control devices 111a, 111b,... 111f as relay devices, the air conditioning control device 111a can be used even in various network topologies to be described later. , 111b,... 111f can control any one or a plurality of air conditioners 110a, 110b,.

  Further, for example, the air conditioner 110f may be controlled via a wired or wireless communication medium regardless of the control command from any place. Therefore, as described above, the control subject may be mounted not only on the air conditioning control device 111f mounted on the same vehicle but also on another vehicle. In addition, the control command may be controlled even if it is a control command from other than the formation vehicle 100 via a wired or wireless communication medium. In other words, the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f may be controlled without being limited to the network topology as described later. Needless to say, the network topology is intended for both logical configuration and physical configuration.

  Specifically, the air conditioner 110f includes power measuring devices 400f, 410f, 420f, and 430f, compressors 320f and 330f, an outdoor fan 340f, and an indoor fan 350f.

  That is, the power measuring devices 400f, 410f, 420f, and 430f measure the power of the compressors 320f and 330f, the outdoor blower 340f, and the indoor blower 350f, which are driving loads of the air conditioner, and the measurement results are used as the air conditioning controller 111f. Send to.

  More specifically, the power measurement devices 400f, 410f, 420f, and 430f include measurement units 500f, 510f, 520f, and 530f, and communication units 600f, 610f, 620f, and 630f.

  The measurement unit 500f measures the power of the indoor fan 350f and transmits the measurement result to the air conditioning control device 111f via the communication unit 600f. The measurement unit 510f measures the power of the outdoor fan 340f and transmits the measurement result to the air conditioning control device 111f via the communication unit 610f. The measurement unit 520f measures the power of the compressor 330f and transmits the measurement result to the air conditioning control device 111f via the communication unit 620f. The measuring unit 530f measures the power of the compressor 320f and transmits the measurement result to the air conditioning control device 111f via the communication unit 630f. By doing in this way, the electric power consumed by the air conditioning apparatus 110f can be transmitted to an air conditioning control apparatus at any time.

  In addition, the place where measuring parts 500a, 500b,..., 500f, 510a, 510b,... 510f, 520a, 520b,... 520f, 530a, 530b,. It is not limited. Therefore, it goes without saying that it can be anywhere in the vehicle as long as it can measure power and the like. Moreover, the method of measuring electric power is not limited to a wattmeter. For example, the current value may be obtained by an ammeter, and then the power value may be obtained by calculation. At this time, if it is an alternating current, it goes without saying that the power factor and the like are taken into consideration. The ammeter may be a current shunt resistor, for example, and the mounting form is not limited. Moreover, you may obtain | require electric power by calculation based on an ammeter and a voltmeter. In any case, since the method of measuring or calculating the power itself is easy for those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, the air conditioning control device 111f includes a calculation unit 700f, a storage unit 701f, a communication unit 702f, and a control unit 703f. In this case, the air conditioning control device 111f is shown as being inside the air conditioning device 110f, but the location is not limited to the inside of the air conditioning device 110f.

  That is, the communication unit 702f receives data transmitted from the air conditioner 110f, for example, power consumption. In addition, the intermediate vehicle 102f is equipped with a return temperature sensor 120f and an in-vehicle environment sensor 121f. Therefore, the communication unit 702f also receives these measurement results. Further, when various control signals are transmitted from the air conditioning control device, it is also performed via the communication unit 702f. In short, the communication unit 702f is an interface for transmitting and receiving various data signals and various control signals.

  Since the communication unit 702f is an interface with an external device, in some cases, by appropriately performing protocol conversion, the air conditioning control device 111f can transmit and receive control signals and data signals even between different communication protocols. Good. Thereby, mutual communication is possible without depending on a specific network configuration. Therefore, the control subject of the air conditioning device 110f is not limited to the air conditioning control device 111f of the same vehicle. Therefore, the control subject of the air conditioner 110 can be changed according to the surrounding environment. At that time, as described above, for example, the air conditioning control device 111f may also have a function as a so-called relay station.

  Next, the storage unit 701f includes, for example, a volatile memory and a nonvolatile memory. The volatile memory stores, for example, in-computation data and in-vehicle situation tables indicating various situations of the vehicle, and the nonvolatile memory, for example, a program for operating the air conditioning control device 111f, the air conditioning device 110f, etc. The operation pattern of the air conditioner 110f determined based on the specifications is stored in advance. The in-vehicle situation table here is a table in which, for example, electric power, temperature, and humidity are stored, and parameters necessary for controlling the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f are stored. Has been. In addition, when the program for operating the air-conditioning control apparatus 111f can be updated as appropriate, the program may be stored in a volatile memory.

  Next, the calculation unit 700f performs various calculations described later. As a result, for example, an optimal in-vehicle environment can be realized based on the vehicle situation that varies from moment to moment.

  Subsequently, the control unit 703f is constituted by a CPU, for example, and performs overall control of the entire air conditioning control device. As a result, it is possible to accurately grasp the vehicle situation that changes from moment to moment, so that an optimal in-vehicle environment can be realized. The “calculation means” of the present invention corresponds to the control unit 703f.

  The air conditioning control device 111f is, for example, microcomputer control implemented by a microcomputer. For example, temperature, humidity, and boarding rate information are taken into the microcomputer, and the cooling capacity necessary for the vehicle is calculated and automatically It is something to control.

  Various processes of the air conditioning control device 111f can be updated as appropriate. For example, data communication is enabled by connecting an external terminal (not shown) and the air conditioning control device 111f with a cable or the like, and in this state, the data is stored in the external terminal. The program or the like, which is the updated processing content, is transmitted to the air conditioning control device 111f, and the new processing content is overwritten. Thereby, it becomes possible to update the processing contents according to the situation as appropriate.

  Further, various processes themselves of the air conditioning control device 111f may be stored in a semiconductor memory or the like. In this case, the processing content may be updated by exchanging the semiconductor memory attached to the air conditioning control device 111f with another semiconductor memory storing the updated content. For example, the processing content may be updated using an SD memory card as a medium. Needless to say, in this case, the various processes stored in the mounted semiconductor memory may be overwritten, and the semiconductor memory may be re-installed to be updated.

  Various processes of the air conditioning control device 111f may be configured as firmware. Even in this case, the processing content can be updated as appropriate.

  Moreover, all the various processes themselves of the air conditioning control device 111f may be implemented by a logic circuit or the like.

  Moreover, the air-conditioning control apparatus 111 does not limit the place to mount, but should just be able to issue a control command to the air-conditioning apparatus 110.

  Next, the auxiliary power supply device 180b supplies power to the air conditioning control device 111f and the air conditioning device 110f that are auxiliary circuits of the intermediate vehicle 102f. Thus, by constantly supplying electric power from the auxiliary power supply, the air conditioning control device 111f and the air conditioning device 110f can operate. When power is not supplied from the auxiliary power supply device 180b, power may be supplied from another auxiliary power supply device 180a via the power supply / reception device 190 described above. Further, even if the power from any of the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b is not supplied, the air conditioning control device 111f and the air conditioning device 110f are operated by supplying power from a battery installed in each vehicle (not shown). You may make it do.

  Next, the in-vehicle situation table will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 4 is an in-vehicle situation table according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the in-vehicle situation table is, for example, one table for each vehicle. Specifically, the in-vehicle situation table is composed of an operation pattern, a reference authority flag, an air conditioner allocatable power, a set temperature, and a value that varies from moment to moment.

  For example, the operation pattern column stores values that determine the capability against specification value in stages. Specifically, in the operation pattern column, as will be described later, one operation pattern is set from a plurality of operation patterns set in advance based on values determined from the specifications of the air conditioners 110a, 110b, and 110f. ing. This value is appropriately changed by an operation pattern determination process described in detail later. By referring to this value, the current driving pattern can be confirmed, and by updating this value, it can be changed to another driving pattern. And the air-conditioning control apparatus 111f can drive the air-conditioning apparatus 110f with a corresponding operation pattern by controlling the air-conditioning apparatus 110f based on this value.

  Next, in the column of the reference authority flag, each vehicle individually controls the air conditioners 110a, 110b, 110f, or any one of the vehicles, or other external equipment is represented by the air conditioners 110a, 110b, It is a flag that determines whether to control 110f. As will be described later, for example, when the value of the reference authority flag is 1, the air conditioners 110a, 110b, and 110f may be individually controlled by each vehicle. Further, for example, when the value of the reference authority flag is 0, the air conditioners 110a, 110b, and 110f may be collectively controlled by a representative vehicle or an external device. More specifically, for example, the train information management device 113 installed in the leading vehicle 101 may be controlled collectively.

  In this way, each vehicle may be controlled independently, or may be controlled by a representative vehicle or an external device. However, it goes without saying that the method of individually switching between control and representative control is not limited to the reference authority flag, and may be another method. In short, it is only necessary to be able to determine which one is the controlling entity when referring to the in-vehicle situation table. By sharing various information in this manner, the air conditioning control devices 111a, 111b,... 111f can determine their own operation patterns and can perform their own air conditioning operations.

  Thus, since the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f can refer to the in-vehicle situation table of each vehicle, the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle can be shared. Therefore, the air conditioning control device 111a can control the air conditioning device 110f. In addition, the train information management device 113 can be used as a representative to control the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Further, the air conditioning control device 111a can also control the air conditioning device 110a installed in the same vehicle without waiting for an external command.

  That is, by calculating the power usage ratio for each load in the vehicle, it is possible to perform control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle.

  Next, the air conditioner allocatable total power column stores the air conditioner allocatable total power as described above. The total power allocatable to the air conditioner means the power obtained by subtracting the power consumption of the important loads 200a, 200b,. Thereby, the electric power which can be distributed to the air conditioner 110a, 110b, 110f explained in full detail later can be calculated | required.

  Next, the column of set temperature is a set temperature of so-called air conditioners 110a, 110b, and 110f. Priorities for updating driving patterns, which will be described later, are determined according to the magnitude of the difference between the current temperature and the set temperature, that is, the degree of difference between the measured temperature value in the vehicle and the set value.

  Next, the column indicating the status of the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, it is composed of time, power, temperature, and humidity. Specifically, for example, these values are stored at regular intervals. Therefore, by referring to the time column, it is possible to create time-series data for a certain time zone in the morning, so that, for example, a future value can be obtained by using a statistical method based on the time-series data. May be predicted.

  The column of electric power is, for example, compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f, 330a, 330b,... 330f, indoor fans 350a, 350b,. -It is comprised from the area | region which stores each electric power value of 350f and outdoor air blowers 340a, 340b, ... 340f. At this time, for example, when there are a plurality of compressors 320a and 330a housed in the air conditioner 110a, values may be stored in each of the two areas as shown in FIG. Also, this field can be appropriately changed depending on the equipment equipped on the vehicle. For example, it is needless to say that the number of the compressor field may be one.

  The temperature column stores values measured by the return temperature sensors 120a, 120b,... 120f, and the humidity column stores values measured by the in-vehicle environment sensors 121a, 121b,. . The “temperature measuring device” of the present invention corresponds to “return temperature sensors 120a, 120b,... 120f”.

  Thus, values necessary for controlling the air conditioners 110a, 110b, and 110f are stored in the in-vehicle situation table, and, for example, each vehicle includes a separate table. Thereby, since data processing is performed in units of vehicles, the data stored in one table is not so large. Further, when controlling each vehicle individually, it is only necessary to search the data in the in-vehicle situation table of the corresponding vehicle, so that the in-vehicle situation table can be referred to as much as possible. Therefore, it is suitable for controlling the air conditioners 110a, 110b,.

  Needless to say, the mounting method of the in-vehicle situation table is not limited to this. For example, each in-vehicle situation may be stored in one table collectively. In that case, you may make it provide the flag etc. which make the area | region for each vehicle clear. By doing so, the efficiency at the time of referring to the data for each vehicle can be improved.

  In addition, although electric power is used as a parameter here, it is not limited to this. For example, current may be used. In short, it is only necessary to know the ratio of using the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b of the important loads 200a, 200b,... 200f and the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. By knowing this ratio, it is possible to calculate how the limited power is allocated.

  Further, although not provided with a column in FIG. 4, the total power of the air conditioner 110 is always calculated at a predetermined interval, and the value is stored in the in-vehicle situation table every time the total power is calculated. Stored. This is used to calculate the ratio between the important loads 200a, 200b,... 200f and the total power of the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Furthermore, when the operation pattern is changed, the total power of the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Moreover, you may make it calculate by simulation from the specification of the air conditioner 110. FIG. In addition, in the case of collective control by a representative rather than individual control, calculation is performed by simulation from the specifications of the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. May be the total power to be generated.

  That is, if the total power is calculated based on the actual measurement value, the reference authority flag is an index indicating whether it is simple individual control or collective control. Therefore, it is not necessary to change either the individual control or the representative collective control based on this flag.

  Next, details of the operation pattern will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 5 is an operation pattern table in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the capacity of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f and the compressors 330a, 330b,... 330f is controlled according to the operation pattern, and the indoor fans 350a, 350b,. Also controls. As a result, the ratio of the specification value capability is determined. In short, the operation pattern table shows a list of control amounts that can be determined in advance for the specifications in stages. Then, by setting the operation pattern to, for example, six levels of values, if any value is set, a control amount that achieves the desired specification value capability is determined.

  Specifically, for example, when the operation pattern is 6, one or more of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f are fully loaded, and one or more of the compressors 330a, 330b,. By operating any one or more of the full load and the indoor fans 350a, 350b,..., 350f, the ability to specification value is 100%. Further, for example, when the operation pattern is 5, one or more of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f are fully loaded, and one or more of the compressors 330a, 330b,. By operating any one or more of the indoor fans 350a, 350b,..., 350f, the ability to specification value is 85%. Further, for example, when the operation pattern is 4, any one or more of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f are unloaded, and any one or more of the compressors 330a, 330b,. By operating any one or more of the indoor fans 350a, 350b,..., 350f, the capacity for specification value is 70%. For example, when the operation pattern is 3, one or more of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f are fully loaded, and one or more of the compressors 330a, 330b,. By operating any one or more of the blowers 350a, 350b,..., 350f, the specification value capability is 50%. Further, for example, when the operation pattern is 2, one or more of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f are unloaded, and one or more of the compressors 330a, 330b,. By operating any one or more of the blowers 350a, 350b,..., 350f, the ability to specification value is 35%. For example, when the operation pattern is 1, one or more of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f are stopped, one or more of the compressors 330a, 330b,. When any one or more of 350a, 350b,..., 350f is operated, the capability against the specification value becomes 0%. When the capacity against specification value is 0%, none of the compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f, 330a, 330b,.

  Thus, the air conditioning capability can be changed by selecting the operation pattern. As described later in detail, by using this driving pattern, it is possible to control the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. In addition, although the example in the case of operating the two compressors 320a, 320b, ... 320f, 330a, 330b, ... 330f is shown here, of course, only one compressor 320a, 320b, ... 320f is shown. It is also possible to operate the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Similarly, the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f can be operated with only one compressor 330a, 330b,.

  If inverters are mounted on the air conditioners 110a, 110b, ... 110f, the compressors 320a, 320b, ... 320f, 330a, 330b, ... 330f, the indoor fans 350a, 350b, ... The current or power of 350f and outdoor fans 340a, 340b,... 340f may be monitored, and the power consumption or current may be controlled by frequency control. If the inverter is not installed in the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f, the number of compressors 320a, 320b,... 320f, 330a, 330b,. Power consumption or current may be controlled by switching, controlling the number of indoor fans 350a, 350b,... 350f, controlling the number of outdoor fans 340a, 340b, and converting the number of poles.

  Further, whether or not to perform the dehumidifying operation may be determined based on another operation pattern table (not shown) determined based on the values of temperature and humidity. At this time, after extracting the temperature and humidity from the in-vehicle situation table, the extracted temperature and humidity are separated into another operation pattern table, for example, an operation pattern table for dehumidifying operation or humidifying operation as shown by the temperature and humidity (not shown). You may make it apply to. By doing in this way, the value managed by the in-vehicle situation table can be used effectively.

  For example, when the humidity is high, the reheat operation, that is, the dehumidifying operation may be performed by operating an electric heater (not shown) housed in the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. On the other hand, when the humidity is low, a humidifying operation may be performed. By doing in this way, the inside of a vehicle can be controlled to a comfortable condition by controlling appropriately the humidity which can contribute as a parameter of body temperature.

  Specifically, during cooling, when the temperature is higher than the set temperature and the humidity and the set humidity are high, the dehumidifying operation may be performed. And when humidity falls after a dehumidification driving | operation, you may make it raise preset temperature at the time of cooling. By doing so, the temperature of the sensation can be lowered and the environment inside the vehicle can be made comfortable.

  Further, during heating, when the temperature is lower than the set temperature and the humidity is lower than the set humidity, a humidifying operation may be performed. When the humidity increases after the humidifying operation, the set temperature may be lowered during heating. By doing in this way, the sensory temperature can be raised and the environment in the vehicle can be made comfortable.

  In short, by using various parameters managed in the in-vehicle situation table, it is possible to obtain a control amount for efficiently making the in-vehicle environment comfortable.

  Next, the refrigeration cycle will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The refrigeration cycle is formed by connecting a compressor 320, a condenser 321, a decompression device (for example, a capillary tube) 323, and an evaporator 324 so as to circulate through a refrigerant pipe. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, an outdoor fan 340 and an indoor fan 350 are provided. In the figure, the solid line arrow indicates the direction of refrigerant flow, and the broken line arrow indicates the flow of exhaust heat from the outdoor fan 340 through the condenser 321 if it is from the outdoor fan 340, and passes through the indoor fan 350. If there is, the flow of the cold air blown from the indoor blower 350 through the evaporator 324 is shown. Thus, the cooling operation in the vehicle is performed. That is, the refrigerant is compressed to high temperature and high pressure by the compressor 320, heat is dissipated outside the vehicle by the condenser 321, the impurities of the supercooled liquid are removed by the dryer, the refrigerant is expanded to low temperature and low pressure by the decompression device 323, and the evaporator 324 Removes heat from the warm air inside the car. The interior of the vehicle can be cooled by such a refrigeration cycle. In other words, the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f are so-called integrated cooling devices and are mounted on the roof of the vehicle as unit coolers.

  Next, on the premise of the configuration of the vehicle air conditioning system described above, by calculating the power use ratio for each load in the vehicle, which is the main part of the present invention, control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle is performed. The operation of the vehicle air conditioning system that can be performed will be described.

  First, an outline of the operation will be described.

For example, each power supply capacity of the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b is 240 kVA. At this time, if the train has 7 trains, a power capacity of 240 kVA / 7 is allocated per vehicle. Further, one train is formed by connecting the leading vehicle 101 and the intermediate vehicles 102a, 102b,... 102f. At this time, in the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f, for example, one 1 kVA indoor blower 350a, 350b,. Each unit has 20 kVA compressors 330a, 330b,... 330f, 320a, 320b,... 320f, so the total power capacity required for one vehicle is expressed by the following equation (Equation 1). .
1 + 1 + 20 × 2 = 42 kVA (Equation 1)

For this reason, the power capacity required for the air conditioners for all vehicles is expressed by the following formula (Equation 2). If the important load is, for example, 2 kVA, the power capacity required for the important load of all the vehicles is The total power capacity required for one train is expressed by the following formula (Formula 4).
42 × 7 = 294 kVA (Equation 2)
2 × 7 = 14 kVA (Equation 3)
294 + 14 = 308 kVA (Equation 4)

  For this reason, each air conditioner can be operated independently. However, when the auxiliary power supply device 180a breaks down and the power supply / reception device 190 operates, a load reduction operation is performed on each air conditioner.

  Specifically, the power measuring devices 400a, 400b, ... 400f, 410a, 410b, ... 410f, 420a, 420b, ... 420f, 430a, 430b, ... 430f are communication units 600a, 600b, ... 600f, 610a, 610b, ... 610f, 620a, 620b, ... 620f, 630a, 630b, ... 630f, power values measured in the communication units 702a, 702b, ... 702f Send. The power value transmitted in this way is shared in the in-vehicle situation table as shown in FIG. Such an in-vehicle situation table is shared by a network topology as shown in FIG. Further, the in-vehicle temperature measured by the return temperature sensors 120a, 120b,... 120f and the humidity measured by the in-vehicle environment sensors 121a, 121b,... 121f are also shared in the in-vehicle situation table as shown in FIG. The Such an in-vehicle situation table is shared by a network topology as shown in FIG. At this time, the optimum driving pattern of the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f is calculated for each vehicle in a range not exceeding 226 kVA obtained by subtracting the important load 14 kVA from the capacity 240 kVA of the auxiliary power supply device 180 b.

  For example, the set value of the in-vehicle temperature of each vehicle is 25 ° C., and the actual in-vehicle temperature at that time is 27 ° C. for the leading vehicle 101, 27 ° C. for the intermediate vehicle 102a, 25 ° C. for the intermediate vehicle 102b, and 24 ° C. for the intermediate vehicle 102c. The intermediate vehicle 102d is 24 ° C., the intermediate vehicle 102e is 23 ° C., and the intermediate vehicle 102f is 26 ° C. Then, the difference between the set value of the in-vehicle temperature and the actually measured value is + 2 ° C. for the leading vehicle 101, + 2 ° C. for the intermediate vehicle 102a, ± 0 ° C. for the intermediate vehicle 102b, + 1 ° C. for the intermediate vehicle 102c, and + 1 ° C. for the intermediate vehicle 102d. It is -1 ° C, -2 ° C for the intermediate vehicle 102e, and + 1 ° C for the intermediate vehicle 102f. These temperature information is shared by the air conditioning controllers 111a, 111b,... 111f by referring to the respective in-vehicle situation tables.

Next, after the calculation for determining the operation pattern described in detail later is performed, the determined operation pattern is assigned to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. For example, the leading vehicle 101 is fully operated, the intermediate vehicle 102a is fully operated, the intermediate vehicle 102b is blown, the intermediate vehicle 102c is stopped, the compressor 320c is stopped and the compressor 330c is unloaded, the intermediate vehicle 102d is blown, In the vehicle 102e, the blowing operation is performed, and in the intermediate vehicle 102f, the compressor 320f is stopped and the compressor 330f is unloaded. At this time, the power consumption of one train is expressed by the following equation (Equation 5).
(20 × 2 + 1 + 1) + (20 × 2 + 1 + 1) + 1 + 34 + 1 + 1 + 34 = 155 kVA (Equation 5)

  Therefore, the capacity 240 kVA of the auxiliary power supply device 180b is not exceeded. Therefore, the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f can be operated.

  Next, a process of switching between individually controlling the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f or controlling the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Will be described.

  That is, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing details of the control subject determination process in the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the control subject determination process controls the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f by individual control by setting the reference authority flag described above, or by representative control. It is possible to determine whether to control the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Thereby, the range of the auxiliary power supply device that can supply the power consumption of the air conditioner of each vehicle without being limited to the network configuration connecting the air conditioner control devices 111a, 111b,... 11f, that is, the network topology. By controlling inward, control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle can be performed. Specifically, a process of calling an individual control process or a representative control process is executed here.

  For example, the network topology includes a ring shape, a mesh shape, a star shape, a full connection shape, a bus shape, a tree shape, a hybrid shape, a hierarchical shape, and the like. Needless to say, it is needless to say that such a configuration is a logical configuration or a physical configuration, and the network topology is not limited.

  For example, FIG. 25 shows an example of the network topology, and FIG. 26 shows another example of the network topology. In FIG. 25, for example, the air conditioning controllers 111a, 111b,... 111f determine the operation patterns of the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. 26, for example, after the train information management device 113 receives information from the air conditioning control devices 111a, 111b,... 111f, the operation pattern is determined and transmitted to the air conditioning control devices 111a, 111b,. I am doing so. In any case, with such a configuration, the air-conditioning control apparatuses 111a, 111b,... 111f communicate with each other, and the total power consumption or current does not exceed the power that can be supplied based on the determined operation pattern. Each air conditioner 110a, 110b,... 110f is controlled within a range.

  First, it is confirmed whether or not there is a switching command (S100). If there is no switching command (S100 NO), the system waits until there is a switching command. On the other hand, when there is a switching command (S100 YES), it is subsequently confirmed whether the details of the switching command are representative or individual (S101).

  Next, when the details of the switching command are representative (S101 representative), the reference authority flag stored in the in-vehicle situation table shown in FIG. 4 is set to 0, the in-vehicle situation table is acquired, and driving pattern determination processing is performed. (S102-104). Specifically, after setting the reference authority flag to 0, various parameters stored in the in-vehicle situation table are temporarily taken into the calculation area.

  Subsequently, after the operation pattern is determined in the operation pattern determination process, it is confirmed whether or not the alternating flag is 1 (S105). When the alternating flag is 1 (YES in S105), the alternating flag is set to 0, and the process ends (S108). On the other hand, when the alternating flag is not 1 (NO in S105), the driving pattern is transmitted to each vehicle, and the air-conditioning control device 111 installed in each vehicle controls the air-conditioning device 110 based on the driving pattern. The alternating flag is set to 0, and the process ends (S106 to S108).

  The details of the operation pattern determination process will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. The alternating flag will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 23 and 24. In short, it is a process of alternating the number of air conditioners 110 for which the operation pattern needs to be lowered for each number. That is, in this case, the air conditioner 110 that lowers the operation pattern is switched for each unit by round robin. By doing in this way, it can prevent defining the vehicle which lowers a driving pattern locally.

  Next, when the details of the switching command are individual (S101 individual), the reference authority flag stored in the in-vehicle situation table shown in FIG. 4 is set to 1, the in-vehicle situation table is acquired, and the driving pattern determination process is performed. (S109-111). Specifically, after setting the reference authority flag to 1, various parameters stored in the in-vehicle situation table are temporarily taken into the calculation area. Subsequently, in the operation pattern determination process, the operation pattern is determined, the air conditioner 110 is controlled based on the determined operation pattern, and the process ends (S109 to 111).

  In the operation pattern determination process, not only the operation pattern is determined, but the air conditioner 110 may be controlled based on the determined operation pattern. For example, a reference authority flag may be used to determine whether to actually perform control. Specifically, when the reference authority flag is 0, the actual control is not performed at this stage, and when the reference authority flag is 1, the actual control is also performed at this stage. Is also possible. In this way, it is possible to switch between representative collective control and individual control. That is, by sharing the in-vehicle situation, the air conditioner 110 can be controlled without being influenced by the network topology.

  Next, details of the operation pattern determination process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing details of the operation pattern determination process in the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the operation pattern process determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed after executing the first operation number adjustment process (S200) (S201). (S201 NO), the operation pattern set in the second operation number adjustment process is maintained, and when a predetermined time has elapsed (S201 YES), the second operation number adjustment process (S202) is executed, and the process ends. .

  Details of the first operation number adjustment process will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13, and details of the second operation number adjustment process will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17.

  First, details of the first operation number adjustment process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing details of the first operating number adjustment process in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the first operation number adjustment process, after the necessary power calculation process is executed (S300), it is determined whether or not the operation number change flag is 1 (S301). When the operating number change flag is not 1 (NO in S301), it is determined whether or not the reference authority flag is 0 (S305). When the reference authority flag is 0 (S305 YES), the process is ended as it is. On the other hand, when the reference authority flag is not 0 (NO in S305), the air conditioner is controlled based on the operation pattern, and the process ends (S306).

  Next, when the operation number change flag is 1 (S301 YES), after the operation pattern change number calculation process (S302), the priority determination process (S303), and the first operation pattern change process (S304), the reference authority It is determined whether or not the flag is 0 (S305). When the reference authority flag is 0 (S305 YES), the process is ended as it is. On the other hand, when the reference authority flag is not 0 (NO in S305), the air conditioner 110 is controlled based on the operation pattern, and the process ends (S306).

  Next, details of the required power calculation process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing details of required power calculation processing in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. First, it is determined whether an auxiliary power failure signal has arrived (S400). The auxiliary power supply failure signal here is a signal transmitted when the auxiliary power supply device 180 fails. With this signal, control that does not reduce the service to passengers is started while operating the air conditioner 110 within the range of the reduced power supply capacity.

  First, when there is no auxiliary power failure signal (NO in S400), the process waits as it is. Next, when there is an auxiliary power failure signal (YES in S400), the total power of the air conditioner 110 is calculated (S401). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the calculation has been performed for all the air conditioners 110 in the trained vehicle 100 (S402). That is, when calculation is not performed for all the air conditioners 110 in the trained vehicle 100 (NO in S402), the process returns to S401 to calculate the total power of the air conditioner 110 until calculation is performed for all the air conditioners 110 in the trained vehicle 100. Is repeated (S401, 402). On the other hand, when it calculated about all the air conditioners 110 in the formation vehicle 100 (S402 YES), the calculated total power of all the air conditioners is set to W1, and the total power allocatable to the air conditioner is acquired and acquired. The total electric power allocatable to the air conditioner is set to W2, W1 / W2 is calculated, and the calculated W1 / W2 is set as an operating unit reduction factor (S403 to 407).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (S408). That is, when the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (YES in S408), the operating number change flag is set to 0, and the process ends (S409). On the other hand, when the operating number reduction factor is 1 or more (NO in S408), the operating number change flag is set to 1, and the process ends (S410).

  By this series of processing, it is determined whether or not power is not insufficient even if the air conditioner 110 is continuously operated in the current operation pattern. That is, if the operating number reduction factor is 1 or more, it means that the power is insufficient, and it is necessary to change the operation pattern. When the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1, the current operation pattern is not changed. Even if it is, it means that there is no power shortage and there is no need to change the operation pattern.

  In other words, when the operating number change flag here is 1, it means that power is insufficient, and when the operating number change flag is 0, it means that there is no power shortage. That is, when the auxiliary power supply device 180 breaks down, it is first necessary power calculation processing to determine whether or not power is sufficient.

  Next, details of the operation pattern change number calculation processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing details of the operation pattern change number calculation processing in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  First, the changed number M is set to 1 (S500). The changed number M here refers to the number of air conditioners 110 that change the operation pattern stored by the operation pattern change number calculation process. Subsequently, the current operation pattern is acquired (S501), and it is determined whether or not the operation pattern can be lowered (S502). When the operation pattern can be lowered (YES in S502), the operation pattern is lowered by one step, the total power of all the air conditioners is calculated, the calculated total power of all the air conditioners is set to W1, and set in S405 shown in FIG. W1 / W2 is calculated using W2, which is the total power allocatable to the air conditioner, and the calculated W1 / W2 is set as the operating unit reduction factor (S503 to 507).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (S508). That is, when the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (YES in S508), the process ends. On the other hand, when the operation number reduction factor is 1 or more (NO in S508), it is determined whether or not the process of reducing the operation pattern by one step has been executed for all the air conditioners 110 (S509).

  That is, when the process of lowering the operation pattern by one step has not been performed for all the air conditioners 110 (NO in S509), the in-vehicle status table of the unimplemented air conditioners 110 is referred to, and the changed number M is incremented. After storing (S510-512), the process returns to S501 again, and a process of lowering the operation pattern by one step for another air conditioner 110 is executed (S501-508). Thereby, the process which calculates | requires the total number of the air conditioners 110 lowered | hung by one step is performed until a driving | operation number reduction element becomes smaller than one. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the number of cars required to lower the operation pattern. In other words, the process for obtaining the total number of units whose operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 is executed only by lowering the operating pattern by one step.

  On the other hand, when the process of lowering the operation pattern by one step is performed for all the air conditioners 110 (YES in S509), the in-vehicle situation table of the air conditioner 110 of the first selected vehicle is referred to, and the processes of S500 to 508 are performed. repeat. As a result, the process of lowering the operation pattern by one step is executed, and the number of changed vehicles M in that case is obtained. This process is repeated until the operating number reduction factor becomes smaller than 1 (S508). That is, the process of repeatedly reducing the operation pattern is executed until the operating number reduction factor becomes smaller than 1. In other words, in this case, it means that the operating number reduction factor does not become smaller than 1 simply by reducing the operation pattern of all the air conditioners 110 one step at a time. Therefore, the process is continued until the operating unit reduction factor becomes smaller than 1 by lowering by two or more stages.

  Further, when the operation pattern cannot be lowered (NO in S502), the processes after S509 described above are executed.

  As a result, the total number when the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 can be obtained. That is, it is possible to obtain a control parameter for controlling the interior of the vehicle in a comfortable state by operating the air conditioner as much as possible while being within a limited power supply capacity.

  Next, details of the priority determination process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing details of priority order determination processing in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. First, 1 is set to n (S600). Here, n means the total number of air conditioners 110 and is used in a priority order table described later.

  Next, a table for one vehicle is selected from the in-vehicle situation table, the set temperature Ts is acquired from the selected table, the in-vehicle temperature Tin closest to the current time is acquired, and the absolute value of the difference | Tin− Ts | is calculated, and the calculation result is set to ΔTn, in this case, ΔT1 (S601 to 605).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether n is the total number of air conditioners 110 installed in the formation vehicle 100 (S606). When n is not the total number (S606 NO), n is incremented and the processing of S601 to 605 described above is repeated. On the other hand, when n is the total number (YES in S606), all ΔTn are rearranged in ascending order, the head data is assigned the highest priority in the order of priority, and the rearrangement result is not shown in the figure. Store in the ranking table (S608 to 610).

  As a result, the air conditioner 110 regarded as having the highest priority means that it is installed in a vehicle having the highest difference between the set temperature and the in-vehicle temperature, and thus regarded as having the lowest priority. This means that the air conditioner 110 is installed in a vehicle having the smallest difference between the set temperature and the in-vehicle temperature. Therefore, power can be preferentially assigned by setting such air conditioners 110 to a high priority. Note that the priority ordering is not limited to this. For example, descending order. In short, it may be in ascending order, descending order, or the like, as long as the ranking is based on some algorithm.

  Next, details of the first operation pattern change process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing details of the first operation pattern change process in the first embodiment of the present invention. First, the changed number M obtained above is acquired, and the priority order table is referenced (S700, 701). Next, the air conditioners 110 corresponding to the changed number M are searched from the end of the priority order table (S702). That is, the air conditioners 110 corresponding to the number necessary for reducing the operation pattern are searched from the air conditioners 110 having the lowest priority.

  Subsequently, an in-vehicle situation table of the corresponding air conditioner 110 is acquired from the search result (S703). That is, the in-vehicle situation table is referred to via the corresponding air conditioner 110 from the priority order table. Next, the driving pattern set in the in-vehicle situation table is lowered by one step, the driving pattern is updated (S704, 705), and the process ends.

  Next, details of the second operation number adjustment process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing details of the second operating number adjustment process in the first embodiment of the present invention. In the second operation number adjustment process, after the priority order determination process (S800) and the first necessary power recalculation process (S801), it is determined whether or not the recalculation flag is 1 (S802). When the recalculation flag is 1 (S802 YES), after executing the second required power recalculation process (S804), it is determined whether or not the reference authority flag is 0 (S805). When the reference authority flag is 0 (S805 YES), the process proceeds to the next process. On the other hand, when the reference authority flag is not 0 (NO in S805), the air conditioner is controlled based on the operation pattern (S806). On the other hand, when the recalculation flag is not 1 (S802 NO), after executing the second operation pattern change process (S803), it is determined whether or not the reference authority flag is 0 (S805). When the reference authority flag is 0 (S805 YES), the process proceeds to the next process. On the other hand, when the reference authority flag is not 0 (NO in S805), the air conditioner 110 is controlled based on the operation pattern (S806).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (S807). If the predetermined time has not elapsed (NO in S807), the air conditioner 110 is operated while maintaining the current operation pattern. On the other hand, when a predetermined time has elapsed (S807 YES), it is determined whether or not there is an end command (S808). When there is an end command (YES in S808), the process ends as it is. On the other hand, when there is no termination command (NO in S808), the process returns to the priority determination process in S800, and the processes described above are repeated (S800 to 807).

  Note that the priority order determination process (S800) is the same as the priority order determination process (S303) shown in FIG. 9 and has been described with reference to FIG. 12, and therefore the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, details of the first required power recalculation process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing details of the first required power recalculation process in the first embodiment of the present invention. First, referring to the priority table, the air conditioner 110 with the highest priority is searched, and the in-vehicle situation table of the searched air conditioner 110 is acquired (S900 to 902). Subsequently, after raising the operation pattern by one level and updating the operation pattern (S903, 904), the total power of all the air conditioners is calculated, the calculated total power of all the air conditioners is set to W1, and W1 / W2 Is calculated, and the calculated W1 / W2 is set as an operating unit reduction element (S905 to 908).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (S909). That is, when the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (YES in S909), the recalculation flag is set to 0, and the process ends (S910). On the other hand, when the operating number reduction factor is not smaller than 1 (NO in S909), the recalculation flag is set to 1, and the process ends (S911).

  As a result, it is determined whether the driving pattern should be recalculated again by raising the driving pattern by one step.

  Next, details of the second operation pattern change process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing details of the second operation pattern change process in the first embodiment of the present invention. First, the priority table is referenced to search for the air conditioner 110 with the highest priority (S1000, 1001). Next, the in-vehicle situation table of the searched air conditioner 110 is acquired, the driving pattern is increased by one stage, and the driving pattern is updated (S1002 to 1004). By doing in this way, the operation pattern of the air conditioner 110 with the highest priority can be raised by one step.

  Next, details of the second required power recalculation process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing details of the second required power recalculation process in the first embodiment of the present invention. First, the air conditioner 110 with the highest priority is searched to increase the operation pattern by one level (S1100 to 1104). Next, the air conditioner 110 having the lowest priority is searched and the operation pattern is lowered by one level (S1105 to 1110). In this way, it is possible to perform control such that the operation pattern is raised at a necessary place, while the operation pattern is lowered at a less necessary place.

  Specifically, the priority table is referred to (S1100), the air conditioner 110 with the highest priority is searched (S1101), and the in-vehicle situation table of the searched air conditioner 110 is acquired (S1102). Is increased by one step (S1103), and the operation pattern is updated (S1104).

  Subsequently, the priority order table is referred to (S1105), the end counter indicating the end of the priority order table is referred to the end data (S1106), the data indicated by the end counter is acquired (S1107), and the acquired data is handled. After acquiring the internal situation table of the air conditioner 110 (S1108), the operation pattern is lowered by one level (S1109), and the operation pattern is updated (S1110).

  Next, the total power of all the air conditioners is calculated (S1111), the calculated total power of all the air conditioners is set to W1 (S1112), W1 / W2 is calculated (S1113), and the calculated W1 / W2 is calculated. It is set as an operating unit reduction element (S1114). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (S1115). When the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1, the process ends (YES in S1115). On the other hand, when the operating unit reduction factor is not smaller than 1 (NO in S1115), the tail counter is updated to point to the next lower priority data (S1116), and then the process returns to S1107, and S1107- The process of 1114 is repeated.

  With such a configuration, after raising the operation pattern of the air conditioning device 110 with the highest priority by one step, priority is given to operating other air conditioning devices 110 with the limited power capacity so that the interior of the vehicle is as comfortable as possible. It is possible to select the air conditioners 110 having lower ranks one by one and perform the process of lowering their operation pattern by one stage until the number of operating number reduction elements becomes smaller than one. As a result, while increasing the operation pattern of the air conditioner 110 that has to increase the operation pattern most, in order to maintain it, the operation pattern of the air conditioner 110 that does not affect so much even if the operation pattern is decreased is decreased. Therefore, even if one of the auxiliary power supplies breaks down, the service degradation for passengers can be reduced without restricting the air conditioner uniformly.

  Therefore, when one of the auxiliary power supply devices 180 breaks down, the power that can be supplied from the remaining auxiliary power supply devices 180 can be supplied to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. In addition, the air conditioning apparatus 110a, 110b,... 110f can be optimally controlled for each vehicle within the allowable power that can be allocated to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Since it can be carried out, the environment inside the vehicle can be made comfortable.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Next, details of the operation pattern determination process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing details of the operation pattern determination process in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the operation pattern process determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed after executing the third operation number adjustment process (S1200), and when the predetermined time has not elapsed (S1201). (S1201 NO), the operation pattern set in the third operation number adjustment process is maintained, and when a predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S1201), the second operation number adjustment process (S1202) is executed, and the process ends. .

  Details of the third operation number adjustment process will be described with reference to FIGS. The details of the second operation number adjustment process have been described above with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  First, details of the third operation number adjustment process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing details of the third operating number adjustment process in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The third operation number adjustment process includes a uniform operation pattern change process (S1300), a priority determination process (S1301), a second operation pattern change number calculation process (S1302), and a third operation pattern change process (S1303). After that, it is determined whether or not the reference authority flag is 0 (S1304). When the reference authority flag is 0 (YES in S1304), since the control is to be performed collectively, the processing is ended as it is. On the other hand, when the reference authority flag is not 0 (NO in S1304), the air conditioner 110 is controlled based on the set operation pattern (S1305). That is, the air conditioner 110 is individually controlled.

  Next, the details of the process for each step of the third operating number adjustment process will be described. The priority order determination process (S1301) is the same as the priority order determination process (S303) shown in FIG. Since it demonstrated using FIG. 12, the description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  At the start of the uniform operation pattern change process, a determination process (S400) for determining whether there is an auxiliary power failure signal, which is the first step of the required power calculation process shown in FIG. 10, may be provided. By doing in this way, the process demonstrated above can also be made after the auxiliary power supply device 200 breaks down. In addition, even if this process is not performed, by performing uniform operation pattern change processing, it is possible to reduce the degree to which the service for passengers is reduced because there is no excessive air conditioning operation, and furthermore, as a whole Energy consumption can be reduced.

  Next, details of the uniform operation pattern changing process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing details of the uniform operation pattern changing process in the second embodiment of the present invention. First, one air conditioner 110 is selected (S1400), and an in-vehicle situation table of the selected air conditioner 110 is acquired (S1401). Next, the current driving pattern is acquired from the in-vehicle situation table (S1402), and it is determined whether or not the driving pattern can be lowered (S1403).

  That is, when the operation pattern can be lowered (S1403 YES), after the operation pattern is lowered by one step (S1404), it is confirmed whether or not the process for confirming whether the operation pattern can be lowered for all the air conditioners 110 has been completed. If not (NO in S1405), S1400 to 1404 described above are repeatedly executed. On the other hand, when the operation pattern cannot be lowered (NO in S1403), it is confirmed whether or not the process for confirming whether the operation pattern can be lowered for all the air conditioners 110 is completed without lowering the operation pattern. If not completed (NO in S1405), S1400 to 1404 described above are repeatedly executed.

  On the other hand, when all the units have been confirmed (S1405 YES), the total power of all the air conditioners is calculated (S1406), and the calculated total power of all the air conditioners is set to W1 (S1407). The power is acquired (S1408), the acquired total power assignable to the air conditioner is set to W2 (S1409), W1 / W2 is calculated (S1410), and the calculated W1 / W2 is set as the operating unit reduction factor ( S1411). Next, it is determined whether or not the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (S1412). When the number-of-operations reduction element is not smaller than 1 (NO in S1412), the process returns to S1400 and the above-described process is repeated (S1400-1411). On the other hand, when the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (YES in S1412), it is confirmed whether or not the reference authority flag is 0 (S1413). When the reference authority flag is not 0 (NO in S1413), the air conditioner 110 is controlled based on the operation pattern (S1414), and it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (S1415). When the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S1415), the process ends. On the other hand, when the predetermined time does not elapse (NO in S1415), the operation of the air conditioner 110 according to the set operation pattern is continued until the predetermined time elapses. If the reference authority flag is not 0, the process ends after executing the process of S1415 described above.

  Thereby, an operation pattern can be uniformly reduced so that an operation number reduction element may become smaller than one.

  Next, details of the second operation pattern change number calculation process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing details of the second operation pattern change number calculation processing in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. First, the changed number M is set to 1 (S1500). Subsequently, after acquiring the current driving pattern (S1501), it is determined whether or not the driving pattern can be increased (S1502). When the operation pattern can be increased (YES in S1502), the operation pattern is increased by one level (S1503), the total power of all the air conditioners is calculated (S1504), and the calculated total power of all the air conditioners is set to W1 (S1505). ), W1 / W2 is calculated (S1506), and the calculated W1 / W2 is set as an operating number reduction factor (S1507). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (S1508). When the operating number reduction factor is not smaller than 1 (NO in S1508), it is determined whether or not the process of raising the operating pattern by one step has been completed for all the air conditioners (S1509).

  That is, when all the air conditioners have not been completed (NO in S1509), the in-vehicle condition table of the unimplemented air conditioners is referred to (S1510), the changed number M is incremented (S1511), and the changed number M is stored ( S1512), the process returns to S1501, and the processing described above is repeated (S1501-1508).

  Further, when the operation pattern cannot be increased (NO in S1502), the processing after S1509 described above is executed.

  Further, when the operating number reduction factor is smaller than 1 (YES in S1508), the processing is ended as it is.

  When all the air conditioners 110 have been used (YES in S1509), the in-vehicle situation table of the air conditioner 110 of the first selected vehicle is referred to (S1513), the process returns to S1500, and the processes described above are repeated. (S1500 to 1507).

  Accordingly, it is possible to determine to what extent the driving pattern can be raised by the operating number reduction element after performing the process of uniformly lowering the driving pattern shown in FIG.

  Next, details of the third operation pattern change process will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing details of the third operation pattern change process in the second embodiment of the present invention. First, the changed number M is acquired (S1600), the priority order table is referenced (S1601), and the air conditioners 110 corresponding to the changed number M are searched from the head of the priority order table (S1602). Subsequently, the in-vehicle situation table of the corresponding air conditioner 110 is acquired from the search result (S1603), the driving pattern is increased by one level (S1604), and the driving pattern is updated (S1605).

  As a result, it is possible to determine to what extent the driving pattern can be raised by the operating number reduction element after performing the processing for uniformly reducing the driving pattern shown in FIG.

  Therefore, when one of the auxiliary power supply devices 180 breaks down, the power that can be supplied from the remaining auxiliary power supply devices 180 can be supplied to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. In addition, the air conditioning apparatus 110a, 110b,... 110f can be optimally controlled for each vehicle within the allowable power that can be allocated to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Since it can be carried out, the environment inside the vehicle can be made comfortable.

  In the second embodiment, items that are not particularly described are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the same functions and configurations are described using the same reference numerals.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
Next, details of the operation pattern determination processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing details of the operation pattern determination process in the third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the operation pattern process, after executing the necessary power calculation process (S1700), it is determined whether or not the operation number change flag is 1 (S1701), and the operation number change flag is not 1. Sometimes (S1701 NO), the process ends, and when the operation number change flag is 1 (S1701 YES), the operation pattern change number calculation process (S1702) is executed, and then the alternating process is executed (S1703). finish.

  The details of the required power calculation process are the same as the required power calculation process (S300) shown in FIG. 9, and have been described with reference to FIG. The details of the operation pattern change number calculation process are the same as the operation pattern change number calculation process shown in FIG. 9, and have been described above with reference to FIG. Accordingly, any description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, details of the alternating processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  That is, FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing details of the alternating processing in the third embodiment of the present invention. The alternating process here is a process of alternating the air conditioners 110 for the number of units whose operation pattern needs to be lowered as described above. That is, the air conditioner 110 that cyclically lowers the operation pattern is alternated for each number. By doing in this way, in the formation vehicle 100, the process of lowering the driving pattern can be performed at regular intervals. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a difference between a vehicle whose environment in the vehicle is excessively deteriorated and a vehicle that is not so deteriorated.

  First, the alternating flag is set to 1 (S1800), and the number of alternating times is set (S1801). The number of alternations mentioned here is a value indicating how many times the alternation processing is repeated, and can be arbitrarily set. Next, the changed number M is acquired (S1802). Subsequently, the table counter is set to the top of the priority order table (S1803), and the air conditioners 110 from the reference destination of the table counter to the changed number M are searched (S1804). Thereby, it is possible to search for the air conditioners 110 corresponding to the number of changed units in descending order of priority.

  Subsequently, the in-vehicle situation table of the corresponding air conditioner 110 is acquired from the search result (S1805), the driving pattern is lowered by one level (S1806), and the driving pattern is updated (S1807). Next, it is determined whether or not the reference authority flag is 0 (S1808). When the reference authority flag is not 0 (NO in S1808), the air conditioner 110 is controlled based on the operation pattern (S1809). Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (S1811). When the predetermined time has not elapsed (NO in S1811), the process waits until it elapses. Thus, the air conditioner is operated for a predetermined time with the updated operation pattern. Subsequently, when a predetermined time has elapsed (S1811 YES), the number of changed pieces M + 1 is set in the table counter (S1812).

  Needless to say, the processing of S1812 is specifically the total of the address area for the changed number M and the address area for one. That is, since the table counter indicates the next address for M units, the table counter refers to the (M + 1) th data.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the number of alternations has been reached (S1813). When the number of alternations has not been reached (NO in S1813), the process returns to S1804, and S1804 to 1812 described above are repeatedly executed. On the other hand, when the number of alternations has been reached (YES in S1813), the processing ends as it is.

  On the other hand, when the reference authority flag is 0 (YES in S1808), the driving pattern is transmitted to each vehicle (S1810), the process returns to S1809, and S1809 and subsequent steps are repeatedly executed.

  In this way, alternating processing is realized, and processing for lowering the operation pattern cyclically can be executed.

  Note that in Embodiment 3, items that are not particularly described are the same as those in Embodiment 1 or 2, and the same functions and configurations are described using the same reference numerals.

  In other words, if the power consumption is not a value based on a simulation but a value based on an actual measurement value, the processing of S106, S107, S306, S806, S1305, S1414, and S1809 described above is unnecessary. That is, the process of controlling the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f based on the operation pattern is not required by the reference authority flag. In other words, when based on the actual measurement value, the actual air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f are controlled simultaneously with the process of updating the operation pattern described above, and when the value is based on the simulation, the operation pattern Is not transmitted to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f.

  When the above processing is carried out, the air conditioners 110a, 110b,... 110f are controlled not with a uniform driving pattern but with a driving pattern suitable for each vehicle, while being within a limited power supply capacity range. As a result, the interior of the vehicle can be kept comfortable.

  Therefore, for example, when the auxiliary power supply device 180a fails, the electric power that can be supplied from the remaining auxiliary power supply device 180b can be supplied to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. In addition, the air conditioning apparatus 110a, 110b,... 110f can be optimally controlled for each vehicle within the allowable power that can be allocated to the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. Since it can be carried out, the environment inside the vehicle can be made comfortable.

  In other words, the number of trained vehicles is not limited to any of the above embodiments, and the number of auxiliary power supply devices is not limited. In short, in the embodiment in which the power usage ratio for each load in the vehicle is calculated, even if one of the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b fails, the control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle You can do it. In addition, although the above embodiment demonstrated the time of cooling, it is the same also at the time of heating, In that case, it can respond by switching the flow of a refrigerant | coolant with the four-way valve which is not shown in figure. Further, the heating is not limited to heating based on the refrigerant circuit. For example, a heater using an oil heater or a heating wire may be used.

  Thus, according to the above-described embodiment, even if any auxiliary power source fails due to the control according to the priority of the operating state of the air conditioner of each vehicle, the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle It is possible to perform control according to. That is, it is possible to perform control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle. Therefore, even if one of the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b fails, each vehicle can be optimally air-conditioned with a power supply capacity within a range where power can be supplied. Thereby, it can prevent that the inside of each vehicle will be in an unpleasant situation. Furthermore, since the air conditioning is not performed excessively, the degree to which the service for passengers is reduced can be reduced.

  In addition, by controlling according to the priority of the operating state of the air conditioner of each vehicle, it is possible to perform control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle even if any auxiliary power source fails. Therefore, since control according to the in-vehicle situation of each vehicle can be performed, even if all the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b are out of order, the battery installed in each vehicle may be used as a power source. . In such a case, since it is possible to perform an optimal air conditioning operation for each vehicle with a power supply capacity within a range where power can be supplied, it is possible to prevent the inside of each vehicle from becoming uncomfortable.

  Moreover, the energy consumption as a whole can be reduced by not air-conditioning excessively.

  In other words, if any of the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b fails, within the remaining power after the necessary power is allocated to the critical load from the power that can be supplied by any of the remaining normal auxiliary power supply devices 180a180b. Thus, each vehicle can be set to an optimum temperature. Specifically, the communication units 600a, 600b,... 600f, 610a, 610b,... 610f, 620a, 620b, ... 620f, 630a, 630b,. .., 320f, 330a, 330b,... 330f, outdoor blowers 340a, 340b,... 340f, and indoor blowers 350a, 350b,. Are transmitted to the communication units 702a, 702b,... 702f. Subsequently, the calculation units 700a, 700b,... 700f optimize the temperature in each vehicle based on the relationship between the power value data received by the communication units 702a, 702b,. The operation pattern of the air conditioners 110a, 110b,. And the operation | movement of the air conditioners 110a, 110b, ... 110f based on an operation pattern is performed by control part 703a, 703b, ... 703f. Thereby, even when any of the auxiliary power supply devices 180a and 180b breaks down, the optimal air conditioning operation can be performed within the range of the power supply capacity that can be supplied in each vehicle.
