Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a frost formation identification method for an outdoor heat exchanger, which includes the steps of:
A1. setting a first flow threshold value of air flow passing through the outdoor heat exchanger, and setting a first pressure threshold value curve for judging whether the outdoor heat exchanger frosts or not according to pressure difference between two sides of the outdoor heat exchanger, wherein the first pressure threshold value curve is a curve of corresponding relation between the first pressure threshold value and the air flow in a frosting state.
According to the pressure difference-flow curve test result of the finished automobile thermal management system in the frosting state, a frosted pressure difference-flow curve can be obtained, and a subsequent curve (the curve part of which the flow is greater than or equal to the first flow threshold) taking the first flow threshold and the corresponding pressure difference value as starting points is selected as a first pressure threshold curve corresponding to the first flow threshold. That is, different first flow thresholds correspond to different first pressure threshold curves, and the first flow threshold is a flow starting point of the first pressure threshold curve.
In this embodiment, the first flow threshold of the air flow may be selected according to the accuracy of the differential pressure sensor, and then the corresponding first pressure threshold curve may be determined.
A2. When the heat pump is in a heating state, acquiring air flow passing through an outdoor heat exchanger, and if the air flow is larger than a first flow threshold, acquiring differential pressure at two sides of the outdoor heat exchanger through a differential pressure sensor, and judging whether the differential pressure is larger than a first pressure threshold corresponding to the air flow.
A3. And if so, judging that the outdoor heat exchanger is frosted and requesting defrosting.
A4. And if not, correcting the heating time of the heat pump according to the pressure difference to obtain the corrected heating time, judging that the outdoor heat exchanger frosts when the corrected heating time is greater than a first time threshold, and requesting defrosting.
According to the method for identifying frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger, when the heat pump is in a heating state and the air flow passing through the outdoor heat exchanger is larger than the first flow threshold, if the pressure difference between two sides of the outdoor heat exchanger is larger than the first pressure threshold corresponding to the air flow, frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger is directly judged, and otherwise, the heating time of the heat pump needs to be corrected according to the pressure difference and whether frosting occurs is judged according to the corrected time. Therefore, the frosting recognition method can accurately recognize the frosting condition under different air flow rates, improve the efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger, avoid the defrosting process caused by mistaken recognition of frosting and reduce the energy consumption of the whole vehicle.
In this embodiment, when the heat pump is in a heating state, if the air flow is less than or equal to a first flow threshold, it is determined whether the heating time is greater than a first time threshold.
And if the heating time is less than or equal to the first time threshold, judging that the outdoor heat exchanger is not frosted and continuing heating.
Further, when the corrected heating time is less than or equal to the first time threshold, the heating time is taken as the current heating time, the heating time is continuously measured, the air flow rate and the first flow rate threshold are compared again, and the subsequent frosting recognition process is carried out until the pressure difference is greater than the first pressure threshold corresponding to the air flow rate or the heating time is greater than the first time threshold. When heating is finished, the heating time is reset to zero.
In this embodiment, after the vehicle is started, it is first determined whether the heat pump is in a heating state, and if so, air flow rate is determined. Before judging whether the air flow is larger than the first flow threshold, the method further comprises the following steps: and acquiring a flow signal passing through the outdoor heat exchanger through a flow sensor, and calculating according to the flow signal to obtain the air flow.
Preferably, step a4, before correcting the heating time according to the pressure difference, further includes:
and obtaining the corresponding relation between the heating time and the pressure difference under different air flows according to a bench test.
Optionally, according to a frosting test process of the bench test, a differential pressure-time curve at different flow rates is obtained as a corresponding relation between heating time and differential pressure at different air flow rates.
In other embodiments, two end values of the pressure difference-time curve may be obtained, a linear function may be made, and the time corresponding to the pressure difference may be obtained by interpolation as the corrected heating time, as the corresponding relationship between the heating time and the pressure difference.

According to the pressure difference-flow curve test result of the finished defrosting heat management system, a pressure difference-flow curve when defrosting is finished can be obtained, a subsequent curve (the curve part of which the flow is greater than or equal to the second flow threshold value) taking the second flow threshold value and the corresponding pressure difference value as starting points is selected as a second pressure threshold value curve corresponding to the second flow threshold value, namely, different second pressure threshold value curves corresponding to different second flow threshold values are selected, and the second flow threshold value is the flow starting point value of the second pressure threshold value curve.
In this embodiment, the second flow threshold of the air flow may be selected according to the accuracy of the differential pressure sensor, and then the corresponding second pressure threshold curve may be determined. Preferably, the second flow threshold is greater than the first flow threshold to increase the accuracy of the determination.

According to the defrosting control method for the outdoor heat exchanger, when the outdoor heat exchanger is in a defrosting state and the air flow passing through the outdoor heat exchanger is larger than the second flow threshold, if the pressure difference between two sides of the outdoor heat exchanger is smaller than the second pressure threshold, defrosting is finished, otherwise, the defrosting time after defrosting is started needs to be corrected according to the pressure difference, and whether defrosting is finished or not is judged according to the corrected time. Therefore, the defrosting control method can perform targeted defrosting according to specific conditions in the defrosting process, avoid excessive defrosting and further avoid energy waste.
In this embodiment, when the defrosting mode is in the defrosting mode, if the air flow is smaller than or equal to the second flow threshold, it is determined whether the defrosting time is greater than the second time threshold. And if the defrosting time is greater than the second time threshold, finishing defrosting, otherwise, judging that defrosting is not finished and continuing defrosting.
Further, when the corrected defrosting time is less than or equal to a second time threshold, the corrected defrosting time is used as the current defrosting time, defrosting and defrosting timing are continued, and then the air flow and the second flow threshold are compared again until the pressure difference is less than the second pressure threshold corresponding to the air flow or the defrosting time is greater than the second time threshold. When defrosting is finished, the defrosting time is reset to zero.

Optionally, according to the defrosting test process of the bench test, a pressure difference-time curve at different flow rates is obtained as a corresponding relation between the defrosting time and the pressure difference at different air flow rates.
In other embodiments, two end values of the pressure difference-time curve may be obtained, a linear function may be made, and the linear function is used as a corresponding relationship between the defrosting time and the pressure difference, and the time corresponding to the pressure difference may be obtained by an interpolation method and used as the corrected defrosting time.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present application further provides a finished automobile thermal management system. The whole vehicle heat management system comprises a compressor 1, a condenser 2, a four-way valve 3, a gas-liquid separation tank 4, an expansion valve 5, a stop valve 6, an outdoor heat exchanger 7, an outdoor fan 8, an expansion valve 9, a chiller 10, a first water pump 11, a battery 12, a coaxial pipe 13, a stop valve 14, an expansion valve 15, an evaporator 16, an indoor fan 17, a differential pressure sensor 18, an air door 19, a warm air core 20, a PTC heater 21 and a second water pump 22. The differential pressure sensor is used for acquiring the differential pressure of two sides (windward side and leeward side) of the outdoor heat exchanger 7.
When the heat management system of the whole vehicle is under the condition of heating by the heat pump, the compressor 1 works to apply work to the refrigerant, the refrigerant exchanges heat through the condenser 2 (the second water pump 22 is started) to heat the passenger compartment, the refrigerant flows to the expansion valve 5 through the four-way valve 3, then passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 7 to absorb heat outwards, and finally returns to the compressor 1 to complete the circulation.

When the heat management system of the whole vehicle is in the condition of heat pump defrosting, the compressor 1 works to apply work to the refrigerant, the refrigerant passes through the condenser 2 (the second water pump 22 is closed), the refrigerant directly flows to the outdoor heat exchanger 7 after passing through the four-way valve 3 to release heat outwards, and then returns to the compressor 1 to complete circulation. At this time, the expansion valve 9 may be closed.
The frosting recognition and defrosting control method can timely and accurately recognize the frosting condition of the outdoor heat exchanger, effectively control defrosting according to different working conditions and reduce the attenuation rate of the low-temperature endurance mileage of the pure electric vehicle.
