Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a vehicle air conditioner 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an electric control unit of the vehicle air conditioner 1. In the present embodiment, the vehicle air conditioner 1 is applied to a hybrid vehicle that obtains driving force for traveling from an internal combustion engine EG (in other words, an engine) and a traveling electric motor.

  The hybrid vehicle of the present embodiment is configured as a plug-in hybrid vehicle capable of charging power supplied from an external power source (in other words, commercial power source) to the battery 81 mounted on the vehicle when the vehicle is stopped.

  This plug-in hybrid vehicle charges the battery 81 with electric power supplied from an external power source when the vehicle stops before the vehicle starts running, so that the remaining power SOC of the battery 81 is predetermined as when the vehicle starts running. When it is equal to or more than the reference remaining amount for traveling, an operation mode is set in which the vehicle travels mainly by the driving force of the traveling electric motor. Hereinafter, this operation mode is referred to as an EV operation mode.

  On the other hand, when the remaining amount SOC of the battery 81 is lower than the reference remaining amount for traveling while the vehicle is traveling, the operation mode is set to travel mainly by the driving force of the engine EG. Hereinafter, this operation mode is referred to as an HV operation mode.

  More specifically, the EV operation mode is an operation mode in which the vehicle is driven mainly by the driving force output from the traveling electric motor. When the vehicle driving load becomes high, the engine EG is operated. Assist the electric motor for traveling. That is, the EV operation mode is an operation mode in which the driving force for driving output from the electric motor for driving is larger than the driving force for driving output from the engine EG.

  In other words, the EV operation mode is an operation mode in which the driving force ratio of the motor side driving force to the internal combustion engine side driving force (that is, motor side driving force / internal combustion engine side driving force) is greater than at least 0.5. .

  On the other hand, the HV operation mode is an operation mode in which the vehicle is driven mainly by the driving force output from the engine EG. When the vehicle driving load becomes high, the driving electric motor is operated to operate the engine EG. Assist. That is, the HV operation mode is an operation mode in which the internal combustion engine side driving force is larger than the motor side driving force. In other words, the HV operation mode is an operation mode in which the driving force ratio is at least smaller than 0.5.

  In the plug-in hybrid vehicle of the present embodiment, the fuel consumption amount of the engine EG with respect to a normal vehicle that obtains driving force for vehicle travel only from the engine EG by switching between the EV operation mode and the HV operation mode in this way. This suppresses vehicle fuel efficiency. The switching between the EV operation mode and the HV operation mode and the control of the driving force ratio are controlled by the driving force control device 70.

  Further, the driving force output from the engine EG is used not only for driving the vehicle but also for operating the generator 80. And the electric power generated with the generator 80 and the electric power supplied from the external power supply can be stored in the battery 81, and the electric power stored in the battery 81 is not only a traveling electric motor but also a vehicle air conditioner. 1 can be supplied to various in-vehicle devices including an electric component device that constitutes 1.

  Next, the detailed structure of the vehicle air conditioner 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. The vehicle air conditioner 1 performs air conditioning (for example, pre-air conditioning) in the vehicle interior using electric power supplied from an external power source when the vehicle is stopped before traveling, in addition to air conditioning in the vehicle interior using electric power supplied from the battery 81.

  The casing 31 forms an air passage for blown air that is blown into the vehicle interior, and is formed of a resin (for example, polypropylene) that has a certain degree of elasticity and is excellent in strength. An air passage through which air flows is formed in the casing 31.

  An inside / outside air switching box 20 serving as an inside / outside air switching unit for switching and introducing inside air (in other words, air in the passenger compartment) and outside air (in other words, outside air in the passenger compartment) is disposed on the most upstream side of the blast air flow in the casing 31. Has been.

  More specifically, the inside / outside air switching box 20 is formed with an inside air introduction port 21 and an outside air introduction port 22. The inside air introduction port 21 introduces inside air into the casing 31. The outside air inlet 22 introduces outside air into the casing 31.

  Further, an inside / outside air switching door 23 is disposed inside the inside / outside air switching box 20 for changing the air volume ratio between the volume of the inside air introduced into the casing 31 and the volume of the outside air. The inside / outside air switching door 23 is a suction port mode switching unit that switches the suction port mode, and continuously adjusts the opening areas of the inside air introduction port 21 and the outside air introduction port 22.

  Therefore, the inside / outside air switching door 23 constitutes an air volume ratio changing unit (in other words, an inside / outside air switching unit) that changes the air volume ratio between the air volume of the inside air introduced into the casing 31 and the air volume of the outside air. In other words, the inside / outside air switching door 23 is an outside air rate adjusting unit that adjusts the ratio of outside air to inside air and outside air introduced into the air passage (hereinafter referred to as outside air rate).

Therefore, this electric motor constitutes a blowing capacity changing unit of the blower 32.

  The fan of the blower 32 is a centrifugal multiblade fan (for example, a sirocco fan). The fan is disposed in the air passage, and blows the inside air from the inside air introduction port 21 and the outside air from the outside air introduction port 22 to the air passage.

  An evaporator 15 is disposed on the downstream side of the air flow of the blower 32. The evaporator 15 is disposed over the entire air passage.

The electric motor 11 b is an AC motor whose rotation speed is controlled by an AC voltage output from the inverter 61.

  Further, the inverter 61 outputs an AC voltage having a frequency corresponding to the control signal output from the air conditioning control device 50. And the refrigerant | coolant discharge capability of the compressor 11 is changed by this rotation speed control. Therefore, the electric motor 11 b constitutes a discharge capacity changing unit of the compressor 11.

  The condenser 12 is disposed in the engine room and dissipates the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 11 by exchanging heat between the refrigerant flowing through the inside and the outside air blown from the blower fan 12a as an outdoor blower. It is an outdoor heat exchanger (in other words, a radiator) that is allowed to condense. The blower fan 12a is an electric blower in which the operation rate, that is, the rotation speed (in other words, the amount of blown air) is controlled by the control voltage output from the air conditioning control device 50.

  The gas-liquid separator 13 is a receiver that gas-liquid separates the refrigerant condensed in the condenser 12 and stores excess refrigerant, and flows only the liquid-phase refrigerant downstream. The expansion valve 14 is a decompression unit that decompresses and expands the liquid-phase refrigerant that has flowed out of the gas-liquid separator 13. The evaporator 15 is an indoor heat exchanger that evaporates the low-pressure refrigerant decompressed and expanded by the expansion valve 14 and exerts an endothermic effect on the refrigerant. Thus, the evaporator 15 functions as a cooling heat exchanger that cools and dehumidifies the blown air.

The cooling water pump 40 a is a flow rate adjusting unit that adjusts the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the heater core 36.

  The cooling water of the cooling water circuit 40 is also used for cooling the automatic transmission fluid (ie, ATF).

The positive side of each PTC element 37a, 37b, 37c is connected to the battery 81 side, and the negative side is connected to the ground side via a switch element. The switch element switches between the energized state (in other words, the ON state) and the non-energized state (in other words, the OFF state) of each PTC element. The operation of the switch element is controlled by a control signal output from the air conditioning control device 50.

  The air-conditioning control device 50 controls the operation of the switch element so as to independently switch between the energized state and the non-energized state of each PTC element 37a, 37b, 37c. And the heating capacity of the PTC heater 37 as a whole can be changed.

  The bypass passage 34 is an air passage for guiding the air after passing through the evaporator 15 to the mixing space 35 without passing the heater core 36 and the PTC heater 37. Therefore, the temperature of the blown air mixed in the mixing space 35 varies depending on the air volume ratio of the air passing through the heating passage 33 and the air passing through the bypass passage 34.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the air volume ratio of the cool air that flows into the heating passage 33 and the bypass passage 34 on the downstream side of the air flow of the evaporator 15 in the air passage and on the inlet side of the heating passage 33 and the bypass passage 34.

  The air volume setting switch 60d is an air volume setting unit for manually setting the air volume of the blower 32. The vehicle interior temperature setting switch 60e is a target temperature setting unit that sets the vehicle interior target temperature Tset by the operation of the passenger.

  The economy switch 60f is a switch that prioritizes reduction of the load on the environment. By turning on the economy switch 60f, the operation mode of the vehicle air conditioner 1 is set to an economy mode in which priority is given to power saving of the air conditioning. The economy switch 60f is a power saving priority mode setting unit.

  In addition, when the economy switch 60f is turned on, a signal for reducing the operating frequency of the engine EG that is operated to assist the electric motor for traveling is output to the driving force control device 70 in the EV operation mode.

  In addition, the air conditioning control device 50 and the driving force control device 70 are configured to be electrically connected to communicate with each other. Thereby, based on the detection signal or operation signal input into one control apparatus, the other control apparatus can also control the operation | movement of the various apparatuses connected to the output side. For example, the operation of the engine EG can be requested by the air conditioning control device 50 outputting a request signal for the engine EG to the driving force control device 70. In addition, when the driving force control device 70 receives a request signal for requesting the operation of the engine EG from the air conditioning control device 50, the driving force control device 70 determines whether or not the engine EG needs to be operated, and operates the engine EG according to the determination result. Control.

  Further, the air conditioning control device 50 includes an electric power control device 71 that determines power to be distributed to various electric devices in the vehicle according to the power supplied from the power supply outside the vehicle or the power stored in the battery 81. It is connected to the. The air conditioning control device 50 of the present embodiment receives an output signal output from the power control device 71 (for example, data indicating air conditioning use permission power permitted to be used for air conditioning).

  Here, the air-conditioning control device 50 and the driving force control device 70 are configured such that a control unit for controlling various devices to be controlled connected to the output side is integrally configured. The configuration to be controlled (for example, hardware and software) constitutes a control unit that controls the operation of each control target device.

  For example, the structure which controls the ventilation capacity of the air blower 32 by controlling the action | operation of the air blower 32 which is a ventilation part among the air-conditioning control apparatuses 50 comprises the ventilation capacity control part 50a. Of the air-conditioning control device 50, the configuration for controlling the refrigerant discharge capacity of the compressor 11 by controlling the frequency of the AC voltage output from the inverter 61 connected to the electric motor 11b of the compressor 11 is the compressor control unit 50b. Is configured.

  The structure which controls switching of the suction inlet mode among the air-conditioning control apparatuses 50 comprises the suction inlet mode switching part 50c. The structure which controls switching of the blower outlet mode among the air-conditioning control apparatuses 50 comprises the blower outlet mode switching part 50d.

  The structure which transmits / receives a control signal with the driving force control apparatus 70 in the air-conditioning control apparatus 50 comprises the request signal output part. A configuration for transmitting / receiving control signals to / from the air-conditioning control device 50 in the driving force control device 70 and determining whether or not the engine EG needs to be operated according to an output signal from the request signal output unit or the like (in other words, determining whether or not to operate) Part) constitutes a signal communication part.

  Next, the operation of the vehicle air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment in the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control process as a main routine of the vehicle air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment. In this control process, the operation switch of the vehicle air conditioner 1 is turned on while power is supplied from the battery 81 or an external power source to various in-vehicle devices including the electric components constituting the vehicle air conditioner 1. Will start. In addition, each control step in FIGS. 3-10 comprises the various function implementation | achievement part which the air-conditioning control apparatus 50 has.

  First, in step S1, initialization such as initialization of flags, timers, etc., and initial alignment of the stepping motor constituting the electric actuator described above is performed. In this initialization, some of the flags and calculation values that are stored at the end of the previous operation of the vehicle air conditioner 1 are maintained.

  Next, in step S2, an operation signal of the operation panel 60 is read and the process proceeds to step S3. Specific operation signals include a vehicle interior target temperature Tset set by a vehicle interior temperature setting switch, a suction port mode switch setting signal, and the like.

  Next, in step S3, a vehicle environmental state signal used for air conditioning control, that is, a detection signal of the above-described sensor groups 51 to 58, a power state signal indicating a power supply state from an external power source, and the like are read. When the power status signal indicates a state in which power can be supplied from the external power source to the vehicle (plug-in state), the external power source flag is turned on and power cannot be supplied from the external power source to the vehicle (plug-out state) ), The external power flag is turned off.

  In step S3, a part of the detection signal of the sensor group connected to the input side of the driving force control device 70 and the control signal output from the driving force control device 70 are also read from the driving force control device 70. It is out.

  Next, in step S4, the target blowing temperature TAO of the vehicle compartment blowing air is calculated. Therefore, step S4 constitutes a target blowing temperature determination unit.

The target blowing temperature TAO is calculated by the following formula F1.
TAO = Kset * Tset-Kr * Tr-Kam * Tam-Ks * Ts + C ... F1
Here, Tset is the vehicle interior set temperature set by the vehicle interior temperature setting switch, Tr is the vehicle interior temperature detected by the internal air sensor 51 (in other words, the internal air temperature), and Tam is the external air temperature detected by the external air sensor 52. , Ts is the amount of solar radiation detected by the solar radiation sensor 53. Kset, Kr, Kam, Ks are control gains, and C is a correction constant.

  The target blowout temperature TAO corresponds to the amount of heat that the vehicle air conditioner 1 needs to generate in order to keep the passenger compartment at a desired temperature, and the air conditioning load required for the vehicle air conditioner 1 (air conditioning heat). Load).

  In subsequent steps S5 to S13, control states of various devices connected to the air conditioning control device 50 are determined.

First, in step S5, the target opening degree SW of the air mix door 39 is calculated based on the target blowing temperature TAO, the blowing air temperature TE detected by the evaporator temperature sensor 56, and the cooling water temperature Tw. Specifically, first, a temporary air mix opening degree SWdd is calculated by the following formula F2.
SWdd = {(TAO−TE) / (Tw−TE)} × 100 (%) (F2)
Next, based on the provisional air mix opening SWdd, the air mix opening SW is determined with reference to a control map stored in the air conditioning control device 50 in advance. In this control map, the air mix opening SW is determined so as to be substantially proportional to the provisional air mix opening SWdd.

  In the next step S6, the blowing capacity of the blower 32 (specifically, the voltage applied to the electric motor) is determined. In other words, in step S6, the air volume of the air flowing through the air passage in the casing 31 is determined. Details of step S6 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, first, in step S601, it is determined whether or not the auto switch of the operation panel 60 is turned on. As a result, when it is determined that the auto switch is not turned on, in step S602, a blower voltage that determines a passenger's desired air volume manually set by the air volume setting switch 60d of the operation panel 60 is determined, and step S7 is performed. Proceed to

  Specifically, the air volume setting switch 60d of the present embodiment can set five levels of air volume from Lo → M1 → M2 → M3 → Hi, and the blower voltage in the order of 4V → 6V → 8V → 10V → 12V. Is determined to be high.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S601 that the auto switch is turned on, in step S603, the control map stored in advance in the air conditioning control device 50 is referred to based on the TAO determined in step S4. The temporary blower voltage f (TAO) and the warm-up upper limit blower voltage f (water temperature) are determined.

  The temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is determined according to the air conditioning heat load. The temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is used as a candidate value for the blower voltage finally determined in step S6. The blower voltage is a blower voltage applied to the electric motor of the blower 32.

  The control map for determining the temporary blower voltage f (TAO) in the present embodiment is configured such that the value of the temporary blower voltage f (TAO) with respect to TAO draws a bathtub-like curve.

  That is, as shown in step S603 of FIG. 4, the air volume of the blower 32 is maximum in the extremely low temperature range of TAO (−20 ° C. or lower in this embodiment) and the extremely high temperature range (80 ° C. or higher in this embodiment). The temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is raised to a high level so that the air volume is close.

  Further, when the TAO rises from the extremely low temperature range toward the intermediate temperature range, the temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is reduced so that the amount of air blown by the blower 32 is reduced according to the increase in TAO. Further, when the TAO decreases from the extremely high temperature range toward the intermediate temperature range, the temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is decreased according to the decrease in TAO so that the air volume of the blower 32 is decreased.

  When TAO enters a predetermined intermediate temperature range (10 ° C. to 38 ° C. in the present embodiment), the temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is lowered to a low level so that the air volume of the blower 32 becomes low. Thereby, the basic blower voltage corresponding to the air conditioning heat load is calculated.

  That is, the temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is a value determined based on TAO. In other words, the temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is determined based on values determined based on the vehicle interior set temperature Tset, the internal air temperature Tr, the external air temperature Tam, and the solar radiation amount Ts.

  The temporary blower voltage f (TAO) is determined to a value (specifically, 4 to 12) corresponding to the air volume in the normal use region.

  The warm-up upper limit blower voltage f (water temperature) is an upper limit value of the blower voltage when the engine EG is warmed up (that is, when the coolant temperature Tw is low). The blower voltage correction value f (humidity near the window) is a blower voltage correction value corresponding to the possibility of fogging of the window glass.

  Specifically, as shown in step S603 of FIG. 4, the warm-up upper limit blower voltage f (water temperature) is set to 0 in the low temperature range of the cooling water temperature Tw (in this embodiment, 40 ° C. or lower). In the extremely high temperature range of the cooling water temperature Tw (in this embodiment, 65 ° C. or higher), the warm-up upper limit blower voltage f (water temperature) is set to 11. As the cooling water temperature Tw rises from the low temperature range to the high temperature range, the warm-up upper limit blower voltage f (water temperature) is raised in the range of 0 to 11.

  Thus, it is possible to prevent the occupant from feeling cold due to an increase in the amount of blown air when the cooling water temperature Tw is not sufficiently increased and the heater core 36 cannot sufficiently heat the air.

  In subsequent step S604, it is determined whether or not the outlet mode determined in the previous step S8 is the face mode, the foot mode, or the bi-level mode.

When it is determined that the air outlet mode is the foot mode or the bi-level mode, the process proceeds to step S605, and the blower voltage is calculated by the following formula F3.
Blower voltage = MIN {f (TAO), f (water temperature)} F3
Note that MIN {f (TAO), f (water temperature)} in Formula F3 means a smaller value of f (TAO) and f (water temperature).

  Thereby, when the outlet mode is the foot mode or the bi-level mode, the blowing capacity of the blower 32 is appropriately adjusted according to the target blowing temperature TAO and the cooling water temperature Tw.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the air outlet mode is the face mode, the process proceeds to step S606, and it is determined whether or not the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped. In other words, it is determined whether or not the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the heater core 36 is a predetermined value or less.

  Specifically, it is determined whether or not the cooling water pump 40a is stopped. It may be determined whether or not the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped by determining whether or not the cooling water valve provided in the cooling water circuit 40 is closed. The cooling water valve is a flow rate adjusting unit that adjusts the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the heater core 36.

  When it determines with the water flow to the heater core 36 not having stopped, it progresses to step S607 and determines a blower voltage to the temporary blower voltage f (TAO).

  Thereby, when the air outlet mode is the face mode and water is passed through the heater core 36, the air blowing capacity of the air blower 32 is appropriately adjusted according to the target air temperature TAO. That is, when the air outlet mode is the face mode and water is passed through the heater core 36, the air volume control according to the cooling water temperature Tw is not performed.

  On the other hand, when it determines with the water flow to the heater core 36 having stopped in step S606, it progresses to step S608 and determines a blower voltage correction amount. Specifically, the target blowing temperature TAO determined in step S4, the evaporator temperature TE detected by the evaporator temperature sensor 56, the vehicle interior temperature Tr detected by the inside air sensor 51, and the outside air sensor 52 are detected. The blower voltage correction amount is determined with reference to a control map stored in advance in the air conditioning control device 50 based on the outside air temperature Tam.

  When the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped and the temperature of the air blown into the passenger compartment is low, the blower voltage correction amount is the amount of air blown into the passenger compartment so that the passenger is less likely to feel cold. Is used to keep low.

  Specifically, as shown in step S608 of FIG. 4, the difference TAO-TE obtained by subtracting the evaporator temperature TE from the target blowing temperature TAO is large, and the difference Tr-Tam obtained by subtracting the outside air temperature Tam from the vehicle interior temperature Tr is obtained. The smaller the value is, the larger the blower voltage correction amount is determined.

  When Tr-Tam> 10 ° C., the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be 0 regardless of the value of TAO-TE. When 5 ° C <Tr-Tam ≦ 10 ° C, if TAO-TE ≦ 10 ° C, the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be 0, and if 10 ° C ≦ TAO-TE ≦ 30 ° C or less, the value of TAO-TE As B becomes larger, the blower voltage correction amount is increased in the range of 0 to 1. If TAO-TE ≧ 30 ° C., the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be 1. When Tr-Tam ≦ 5 ° C., if TAO-TE ≦ 10 ° C., the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be 0, and if 10 ° C. ≦ TAO-TE ≦ 30 ° C., the value of TAO-TE increases. The blower voltage correction amount is increased in the range of 0 to 2. If TAO-TE ≧ 30 ° C., the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be 2.

In the subsequent step S609, the blower voltage is calculated by the following formula F4.
Blower voltage = f (TAO) −Blower voltage correction amount F4
Thereby, when the air outlet mode is the face mode and water is not passed through the heater core 36, the air blowing capacity of the blower 32 is appropriately adjusted according to the target air temperature TAO and the cooling water temperature Tw. That is, when the air outlet mode is the face mode and water is not passed through the heater core 36, the air volume control according to the cooling water temperature Tw is performed.

  In addition, the blowing capacity of the blower 32 is corrected to be lower as the difference between the target blowing temperature TAO and the evaporator temperature TE is larger and the difference between the passenger compartment temperature Tr and the outside air temperature Tam is smaller.

  That is, when the air outlet mode is the face mode and water is not passed through the heater core 36, the amount of air blown into the vehicle interior becomes lower as the passenger is more likely to feel cold due to the air blown into the vehicle interior. to correct.

  In the next step S7, the inlet mode, that is, the switching state of the inside / outside air switching box 20 is determined. Details of step S7 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S701, it is determined whether or not the auto switch of the operation panel 60 is turned on. As a result, if it is determined that the auto switch is not turned on, the outside air introduction rate corresponding to the manual mode is determined in steps S702 to S704, and the process proceeds to step S8.

  Specifically, when the manual inlet mode is the all-in-air mode (in other words, the REC mode), the outside air rate is determined to be 0% in step S703, and the manual inlet mode is set to the all-outside air mode (in other words, the FRS mode). In this case, the outside air rate is determined to be 100% in step S704. The outside air rate is a ratio of outside air to the introduced air (that is, outside air and inside air) introduced from the inside / outside air switching box 20 into the casing 31.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S701 that the auto switch is turned on, the process proceeds to step S705, and based on the target blowing temperature TAO calculated in step S4, it is determined whether the air conditioning operation state is the cooling operation or the heating operation. judge. In the example of FIG. 5, when the target blowing temperature TAO is higher than 25 ° C., it is determined that the heating operation is performed, and in other cases, the cooling operation is determined.

  If it is determined in step S705 that the cooling operation is being performed, the process proceeds to step S706, the outside air rate is determined with reference to the control map stored in advance in the air conditioning control device 50 based on the target blowing temperature TAO, and the process proceeds to step S8. .

  Specifically, the outside air rate is reduced when TAO is low, and the outside air rate is increased when TAO is high. In the example of FIG. 5, if TAO ≦ 0 ° C., the outside air rate is 0%, if TAO ≧ 15 ° C., the outside air rate is 100%, and if 0 ° C. <TAO <15 ° C., the outside air rate is higher as TAO is higher. Is increased in the range of 0 to 100%.

  The opening degree of the inside / outside air switching door 23 is changed according to the determined outside air rate. Specifically, when the outside air rate is set to 0%, the opening degree of the inside / outside air switching door 23 is controlled so that the suction port mode becomes the all inside air mode. When the outside air rate is set to 100%, the opening degree of the inside / outside air switching door 23 is controlled so that the suction port mode becomes the all outside air mode. When the outside air rate is set to be more than 0% and less than 100%, the opening degree of the inside / outside air switching door 23 is controlled so that the suction port mode becomes the inside / outside air mixing mode.

  As a result, the higher the cooling load, the higher the inside air introduction rate and the higher the cooling efficiency.

  On the other hand, when it determines with heating operation in step S705, it progresses to step S707 and refers to the control map previously memorize | stored in the air-conditioning control apparatus 50 based on the window vicinity humidity detected with the window surface humidity sensor 59, The outside air rate is determined and the process proceeds to step S8.

  Specifically, when the humidity near the window is low, the outside air rate is reduced, and when the humidity near the window is high, the outside air rate is increased. In the example of FIG. 5, if the humidity near the window ≦ 70%, the outside air rate is 50%, if the humidity near the window ≧ 85%, the outside air rate is 100%, and if 50% <the humidity near the window <85%. As the humidity near the window is higher, the outside air rate is increased in the range of 50 to 100%.

  As a result, the higher the humidity in the vicinity of the window, the higher the introduction rate of the outside air, thereby lowering the humidity of the vehicle interior space, thereby suppressing fogging of the window.

  In the next step S8, the outlet mode, that is, the switching state of the face door 24a, the foot door 25a, and the defroster door 26a is determined. Details of step S8 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6, first, in step S81, it is determined whether or not the auto switch of the operation panel 60 is turned on. As a result, when it is determined that the auto switch is not turned on, in step S82, the air outlet mode corresponding to the manual mode is determined, and the process proceeds to step S9.

  Specifically, when the manual outlet mode is the face mode, the face mode is selected. When the manual outlet mode is the bi-level mode, the bi-level mode is selected. When the manual outlet mode is the foot mode, the foot mode is selected. If the manual outlet mode is the foot defroster mode, the foot defroster mode is determined. If the manual inlet mode is the defroster mode, the defroster mode is determined.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S81 that the auto switch is turned on, the process proceeds to step S83, and a control map stored in advance in the air conditioning controller 50 based on the target outlet temperature TAO calculated in step S4. The air outlet mode is determined with reference to FIG.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in step S83 in FIG. 6, as the TAO rises from the low temperature region to the high temperature region, the air outlet mode is sequentially switched from the face mode to the bilevel mode to the foot mode. Accordingly, it is easy to select the face mode mainly in summer, the bi-level mode mainly in spring and autumn, and the foot mode mainly in winter. In the control map shown in step S83 of FIG. 6, a hysteresis width for preventing control hunting is set.

  In the next step S9, the refrigerant discharge capacity of the compressor 11 (specifically, the rotational speed of the compressor 11) is determined. The determination of the compressor speed in step S9 is not performed every control cycle τ in which the main routine of FIG. 3 is repeated, but is performed every predetermined control interval (1 second in the present embodiment).

  Details of step S9 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, first, in step S91, a target blowing temperature TEO of the blowing air temperature TE from the indoor evaporator 26 is determined.

  Details of step S91 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step S911, based on the TAO determined in step S4, a temporary target outlet temperature f (TAO) is calculated with reference to a control map stored in advance in the air conditioning controller 50.

  In the example of FIG. 8, if TAO ≦ 4 ° C., the temporary target blowing temperature f (TAO) is 1 ° C., and if TAO ≧ 12 ° C., the temporary target blowing temperature f (TAO) is 10 ° C. If <TAO <12 ° C., the larger the TAO, the larger the temporary target blowing temperature f (TAO) in the range of 1 to 10 ° C.

  In subsequent step S912, based on the near-window humidity determined in step S4, the anti-fogging target blowing temperature f (the near-window humidity) is calculated with reference to a control map stored in advance in the air conditioning control device 50.

  In the example of FIG. 8, if the humidity in the vicinity of the window ≦ 85%, the antifogging target blowing temperature f (the humidity in the vicinity of the window) is set to 10 ° C., and if the humidity in the vicinity of the window ≧ 95%, ) Is 1 ° C. If 85% <window vicinity humidity <95%, the higher the window vicinity humidity, the lower the antifogging target blowing temperature f (window vicinity humidity) in the range of 10 to 1 ° C.

  In the subsequent step S913, the smaller one of the temporary target blowing temperature f (TAO) and the anti-fogging target blowing temperature f (the humidity near the window) is determined as the target blowing temperature TEO. Thereby, when the humidity near the window is high, the target blowing temperature TEO can be determined to be a small value, and the dehumidifying ability of the indoor evaporator 26 can be increased.

  In the subsequent step S92, a rotational speed change amount Δf with respect to the previous compressor rotational speed fn−1 is obtained. More specifically, a deviation En (TEO-TE) between the target blowing temperature TEO and the blowing air temperature TE is calculated, and a deviation change rate Edot (En) obtained by subtracting the previously calculated deviation En-1 from the previously calculated deviation En. -(En-1)), and using the deviation En and the deviation rate of change Edot, the previous compression based on the fuzzy inference based on the membership function and the rule stored in advance in the air conditioning control device 50 A rotational speed change amount Δf with respect to the machine rotational speed fn−1 is obtained.

In the subsequent step S93, the current compressor speed is calculated by the following formula F5.
Current compressor speed = MIN {(previous compressor speed + Δf), MAX speed} ... F5
Note that MIN {(previous compressor rotation speed + Δf), MAX rotation speed} in Formula F5 means the smaller value of the previous compressor rotation speed + Δf and MAX rotation speed. In this example, the MAX rotation speed is 10,000 rpm.

  Thereby, when the humidity in the vicinity of the window is high, the compressor rotational speed can be increased and the dehumidifying ability of the indoor evaporator 26 can be increased.

  In the next step S10, the number of operating PTC heaters 37 and the operating state of the electric heat defogger are determined. Details of step S10 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, first, in step S101, it is determined whether or not the air mix opening SW determined in step S5 is a maximum heating opening (so-called MAX HOT).

  When it is determined that the air mix opening SW is the maximum heating opening, the process proceeds to step S102, and the number of operating PTC heaters 37 is determined to be three.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S101 that the air mix opening degree SW is not the maximum heating opening degree, the process proceeds to step S103, and the target blowing temperature TAO determined in step S4 and the evaporation detected by the evaporator temperature sensor 56 are detected. Operation of the PTC heater 37 with reference to a control map previously stored in the air-conditioning control device 50 based on the temperature of the vessel TE, the temperature Tr of the vehicle interior detected by the inside air sensor 51, and the outside air temperature Tam detected by the outside air sensor 52 Determine the number.

  Specifically, the number of operation of the PTC heater 37 ranges from 0 to 3 as the difference between the target outlet temperature TAO and the evaporator temperature TE is larger and the difference between the passenger compartment temperature Tr and the outside air temperature Tam is larger. The number is decided with a large number.

  That is, the fact that the air mix opening SW is not the maximum heating opening means that it is less necessary to heat the blown air in the heating passage 33, so the necessity of operating the number of PTC heaters 37 is also required. Less.

  On the other hand, the greater the difference between subtracting the evaporator temperature TE from the target outlet temperature TAO and the greater subtracting the outside air temperature Tam from the passenger compartment temperature Tr, the more easily the occupant feels cold.

  Therefore, even when the air mix opening SW is not the maximum heating opening, the difference between the target blowing temperature TAO and the evaporator temperature TE is large, and the difference between the vehicle interior temperature Tr and the outside air temperature Tam is large. The number of operating PTC heaters 37 is increased.

  Specifically, when Tr−Tam> 10 ° C., the number of operating PTC heaters 37 is determined to be zero regardless of the difference TAO−TE obtained by subtracting the evaporator temperature TE from the target blowing temperature TAO. When 5 ° C <Tr-Tam ≦ 10 ° C, if TAO-TE ≦ 10 ° C, the number of PTC heaters 37 is determined to be zero, and if 10 ° C ≦ TAO-TE ≦ 30 ° C, TAO-TE As the value increases, the number of operating PTC heaters 37 is increased in the range of 0 to 2. If TAO-TE ≧ 30 ° C., the number of operating PTC heaters 37 is determined to be two. When Tr-Tam ≦ 5 ° C., if TAO-TE ≦ 10 ° C., the number of operating PTC heaters 37 is determined to be 0, and if 10 ° C. ≦ TAO-TE ≦ 30 ° C., TAO-TE increases. Accordingly, the number of operating PTC heaters 37 is increased in the range of 0 to 3, and if TAO-TE ≧ 30 ° C., the number of operating PTC heaters 37 is determined to be three.

  As for the electric heat defogger, the electric heat defogger is operated when the window glass is highly likely to be fogged due to the humidity and temperature in the passenger compartment or when the window glass is fogged.

  In the next step S11, a request signal output from the air conditioning control device 50 to the driving force control device 70 is determined. The request signal includes an engine EG operation request signal (in other words, an engine ON request signal), an EV / HV operation mode request signal, and the like.

  Here, in a normal vehicle that obtains driving force for driving the vehicle only from the engine EG, the engine is always operated during driving, so that the cooling water is always at a high temperature. Therefore, in a normal vehicle, sufficient heating capacity can be exhibited by circulating cooling water through the heater core 36.

  On the other hand, in the plug-in hybrid vehicle of the present embodiment, the driving force for traveling the vehicle can also be obtained from the traveling electric motor. Therefore, the operation of the engine EG may be stopped, and the vehicle air conditioner 1 When heating the vehicle interior at, the temperature of the cooling water may not rise to a sufficient temperature as a heat source for heating.

  Therefore, the vehicle air conditioner 1 according to the present embodiment does not require the engine EG to operate in order to output the driving force for traveling. A request signal for requesting the operation of the engine EG is output to the driving force control device 70 that controls the driving force, and the cooling water temperature is increased to a temperature sufficient as a heat source for heating.

  Next, in step S12, it is determined whether or not to operate the coolant pump 40a of the coolant circuit 40. Details of step S12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step S121, it is determined whether or not the coolant temperature Tw is higher than the blown air temperature TE from the evaporator 15.

  In step S121, when the cooling water temperature Tw is equal to or lower than the blown air temperature TE, the process proceeds to step S124, and it is determined to stop the cooling water pump 40a. The reason is that if the cooling water flows to the heater core 36 when the cooling water temperature Tw is equal to or lower than the blown air temperature TE, the cooling water flowing through the heater core 36 cools the air after passing through the evaporator 15. Therefore, the temperature of the air blown from the outlet is lowered. Further, by reducing the amount of heat dissipated in the heater core 36, the cooling water temperature Tw is quickly raised to warm up the engine EG early, thereby improving the fuel efficiency.

  In step S124, the flow rate of the cooling water discharged from the cooling water pump 40a may be reduced more than usual. In other words, the flow rate of the cooling water discharged from the cooling water pump 40a may be set to a predetermined value or less.

  On the other hand, when the cooling water temperature Tw is higher than the blown air temperature TE in step S121, the process proceeds to step S122. In step S122, it is determined whether the blower 32 is operating. When it determines with the air blower 32 not operating in step S122, it progresses to step S124 and determines stopping the cooling water pump 40a for power saving.

  On the other hand, when it determines with the air blower 32 operating in step S122, it progresses to step S123 and determines operating the cooling water pump 40a. As a result, the cooling water pump 40a is operated and the cooling water circulates in the cooling water circuit, so that the cooling air flowing through the heater core 36 and the air passing through the heater core 36 are heat-exchanged to heat the blown air. it can.

  Next, in step S13, it is determined whether or not the seat air conditioner 90 needs to be operated. The operating state of the seat air conditioner 90 is a control stored in the air conditioning controller 50 in advance based on the target air temperature TAO determined in step S5, the provisional air mix opening degree Sdd, and the outside air temperature Tam read in step S2. Determined with reference to the map.

  Next, in step S14, the various devices 12a, 32, 37, 40a, 61, 62, 63, 64, and 90 are changed from the air conditioning control device 50 so that the control state determined in the above-described steps S5 to S13 is obtained. In contrast, a control signal and a control voltage are output. Further, the request signal determined in step S11 is transmitted from the request signal output unit 50c to the driving force control apparatus 70.

  Next, in step S15, the system waits for the control period τ, and returns to step S2 when it is determined that the control period τ has elapsed. In the present embodiment, the control cycle τ is 250 ms. This is because the air conditioning control in the passenger compartment does not adversely affect the controllability even if the control period is slower than the engine control or the like. As a result, it is possible to suppress a communication amount for air conditioning control in the vehicle and sufficiently secure a communication amount of a control system that needs to perform high-speed control such as engine control.

  Since the vehicle air conditioner 1 of this embodiment operates as described above, the blown air blown from the blower 32 is cooled by the evaporator 15. The cold air cooled by the evaporator 15 flows into the heating passage 33 and the bypass passage 34 according to the opening degree of the air mix door 39.

  The cold air that has flowed into the heating passage 33 is heated when passing through the heater core 36 and the PTC heater 37, and is mixed with the cold air that has passed through the bypass passage 34 in the mixing space 35. Then, the conditioned air whose temperature has been adjusted in the mixing space 35 is blown out from the mixing space 35 into the vehicle compartment via each outlet.

  When the inside air temperature Tr in the passenger compartment is cooled below the outside air temperature Tam by the conditioned air blown into the inside of the passenger compartment, cooling of the inside of the passenger compartment is realized, while the inside air temperature Tr is heated higher than the outside air temperature Tam. In such a case, heating of the passenger compartment is realized.

  When water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped when the engine EG is warmed up, the temperature of the heater core 36 decreases with time, and the difference between the target blowing temperature TAO and the actual blowing temperature increases. The actual blowing temperature is approximately the same as the evaporator temperature TE.

  At this time, if the air outlet mode is the face mode, air having a temperature lower than the target air temperature TAO is blown out toward the upper body of the occupant, so that the occupant can easily feel cold.

  In view of this point, in step S6, when the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped in the face mode, the blower voltage is corrected to be lower as the difference obtained by subtracting the evaporator temperature TE from the target blowing temperature TAO is larger.

  Thereby, since the air volume of the air blown out toward the upper body of the occupant is reduced, the occupant can be prevented from feeling cold. In addition, the temperature of the cooling water rises quickly, and the temperatures of the engine EG and automatic transmission fluid (that is, ATF) can be raised early.

  Furthermore, since the blower power consumption can be reduced by correcting the blower voltage to be low, fuel efficiency can be improved.

  Note that the higher the target blowing temperature TAO, the greater the deviation from the blowing air temperature that the occupant wants, and the greater the possibility that the occupant feels cold. In view of this point, the higher the target blowing temperature TAO, the lower the blower voltage is corrected. Therefore, the higher the target blowing temperature TAO, the smaller the air volume blown toward the passenger's upper body.

  In addition, the smaller the solar radiation amount Ts, the easier the occupant feels against the cold wind. In view of this point, the blower voltage is corrected to be lower as the solar radiation amount Ts is smaller. Therefore, the smaller the solar radiation amount Ts, the smaller the air volume blown toward the upper body of the occupant.

  Moreover, when the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped, there is a possibility that the blown-out air temperature is very lowered. In this regard, in the present embodiment, when the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped, the air volume can be made smaller than the normal use area. Specifically, when water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped, the blower voltage can be set to a value smaller than 4 to 12 V in the normal use range. Thereby, it can suppress that the air of a very low temperature is blown off by a passenger | crew.

  Further, the temperature of the heater core 36 when the ignition switch of the vehicle is turned on and the temperature of the cooling water inside the heater core 36 are approximately the same as the outside air temperature, but the heater core 36 was cooled by the evaporator 15. Cold air flows in. At this time, if the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped, the temperature of the heater core 36 falls below the outside air temperature. When the water flow to the heater core 36 is stopped, since the air volume is smaller than that in the normal use range, it is possible to suppress the temperature of the heater core 36 from decreasing immediately after turning on the ignition switch of the vehicle, and the passenger feels cold. This can be suppressed.

  Moreover, the vehicle interior temperature at the start of air conditioning increases as the amount of solar radiation increases and is exposed to longer periods of solar radiation. At this time, the temperature of the instrument panel also rises, but since the air-conditioning duct connected to the face outlet 24 (hereinafter referred to as “face duct”) is inside the instrument panel, the temperature of the face duct also rises. Therefore, even if the temperature of the blown air is low at the outlet of the indoor air conditioning unit 30, the blown air is warmed by the face duct, so that the passenger does not feel too cold. On the contrary, it feels hot when the air volume is lowered. In this regard, in the present embodiment, when the temperature in the passenger compartment at the start of air conditioning is high, the degree of decrease in air volume can be reduced, and fuel efficiency can be improved while maintaining passenger comfort.

  Since the inside air sensor 51 is in the instrument panel, the face duct temperature can be accurately estimated from the vehicle interior temperature Tr detected by the inside air sensor 51.

  According to the present embodiment, as described in step S6, the control device 50 controls the operation of the blower 32 by determining the air volume of the air flowing through the air passage in the casing 31 based on the target blowing temperature TAO. When the air outlet mode is the face mode and the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the heater core 36 is a predetermined value or less, the control device 50 corrects the air volume of the air flowing through the air passage in the casing 31 to the decreasing side.

  According to this, when there is little flow volume of the cooling water which flows through the heater core 36, the flow volume of the air which blows off toward a passenger | crew's upper body can be restrained small. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occupant from feeling cold when the engine EG is warmed up.

  Specifically, as described in step S608, the control device 50 increases the correction amount toward the decrease side of the air volume of the air flowing through the air passage in the casing 31 as the target blowing temperature TAO is higher.

  According to this, the higher the target blowout temperature TAO, the greater the difference between the blowout temperature that the occupant wants and the actual blowout temperature, and the more likely the occupant feels cold. By reducing the flow rate of air, the passengers are prevented from feeling cold.

  In the present embodiment, as described in step S6, the control device 50 performs the air flow when the face door 24a and the foot door 25a are executing the face mode and the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the heater core 36 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. The air volume of the air flowing through the passage is corrected to an air volume smaller than the normal use range.

  According to this, when the flow rate of the cooling water flowing through the heater core 36 is small, in view of the possibility that the temperature of the blown air may be very low, the amount of blown air is made smaller than the normal use area, so Can suppress feeling.

  In addition, by making the blown air flow rate smaller than that in the normal use range, it is possible to suppress the cool air cooled by the evaporator 15 from flowing into the heater core 36, and thus the temperature of the heater core 36 is prevented from being lowered. it can.

  In the present embodiment, as described in step S608, the control device 50 decreases the correction amount to the air volume reduction side of the air flowing through the air passage as the vehicle interior temperature Tr is higher than the outside air temperature Tam.

  According to this, the greater the amount of solar radiation, the longer the room is exposed to solar radiation, the higher the room temperature and the higher the temperature of the air conditioning duct inside the instrument panel. In view of feeling hot and rather hot, if the passenger compartment temperature Tr is higher than the outside air temperature Tam, the degree of decrease in the blown air volume will be reduced, so the blown air volume will be too low and passenger comfort will be impaired. This can be suppressed.

  The inside air sensor 51 is preferably arranged in the instrument panel. This is because the temperature of the air conditioning duct can be accurately estimated from the passenger compartment temperature Tr detected by the inside air sensor 51.

  In the present embodiment, as described in step S608, the control device 50 corrects the air volume flowing through the air passage toward the decrease side as the difference between the target blowing temperature TAO and the temperature TE of the evaporator 15 increases. Increase the amount.

  According to this, in view of the fact that it can be estimated that the occupant is more likely to feel cold as the difference obtained by subtracting the evaporator 15 from the target blowing temperature TAO is large, the difference obtained by subtracting the temperature TE of the evaporator 15 from the target blowing temperature TAO is large. Since the air volume of the blown air is reduced, the degree to which the occupant feels cold can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, as described in step S10, the control device 50 operates the auxiliary heating unit 37 when the difference obtained by subtracting the evaporator 15 from the target blowing temperature TAO is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

  According to this, in view of the fact that it can be estimated that the greater the difference obtained by subtracting the evaporator 15 from the target blowing temperature TAO, the more easily the occupant feels cold, the auxiliary heating is performed when the difference obtained by subtracting the evaporator 15 from the target blowing temperature TAO is large. Since the part 37 is operated, the degree to which the occupant feels cold can be reduced.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the blower voltage correction amount is determined based on the target outlet temperature TAO, the evaporator temperature TE, the passenger compartment temperature Tr, and the outside air temperature Tam in step S608. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. In step S608, the blower voltage correction amount is determined based on the solar radiation amount Ts, the vehicle interior temperature Tr, and the outside air temperature Tam.

  Specifically, as shown in step S608 of FIG. 11, the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be larger as the solar radiation amount Ts is larger and the difference Tr-Tam obtained by subtracting the outside air temperature Tam from the passenger compartment temperature Tr is smaller. .

  When Tr−Tam> 10 ° C., the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be 0 regardless of the solar radiation amount Ts. When 5 ° C. <Tr−Tam ≦ 10 ° C., the blower voltage correction amount is determined as 1 if Ts ≦ 300 W / m 2, and as the solar radiation amount Ts increases if 300 W / m 2 ≦ Ts ≦ 1000 W / m 2. The blower voltage correction amount is decreased in the range of 1 to 0. If Ts ≧ 1000 W / m 2, the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be zero. When Tr-Tam ≦ 5 ° C., the blower voltage correction amount is determined as 2 if Ts ≦ 300 W / m 2, and the blower voltage correction is increased as the solar radiation amount Ts increases if 300 W / m 2 ≦ Ts ≦ 1000 W / m 2. The amount is reduced in the range of 2 to 0. If Ts ≧ 1000 W / m 2, the blower voltage correction amount is determined to be 0.

  According to this, as in the first embodiment, when the air outlet mode is the face mode and water is not passed through the heater core 36, the air is more likely to be felt by the occupant due to the air blown into the passenger compartment. Correct the air volume of the air blown into the passenger compartment. Therefore, the same operational effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the control device 50 increases the correction amount to the decrease side of the air volume of the air flowing through the air passage as the solar radiation amount Ts is smaller. According to this, in view of the fact that the smaller the amount of solar radiation Ts, the more easily the occupant feels cold against the cold wind, the smaller the amount of solar radiation Ts, the smaller the flow rate of air blown toward the upper body of the occupant. , The passengers can be prevented from feeling cold.
