The above-described method is exemplified below.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the circuit connections of an electric PTC heater according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the DC/DC-DC converter is connected to the PTC electric heater. The power supply voltage Vdc of the PTC electric heater is generally direct current high voltage, and any required input voltage of the PTC electric heater in a certain range can be realized by controlling the DC/DC direct current-direct current converter.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of a PTC heater control system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the outer ring of the PTC electric heater control system is a temperature control ring, and outputs a target input voltage of the PTC electric heater by PI regulation through a PI regulator for a temperature difference between a target temperature value of the PTC electric heater and an actual temperature of the PTC electric heater; the inner ring is a voltage control ring, and PI regulation is carried out on a voltage difference value between a target input voltage value and an actual voltage value of the PTC electric heater through a PI regulator to control the DC/DC converter, so that the actual voltage input by the PTC electric heater changes along with the target voltage, the purpose that an output temperature value changes along with a given temperature value is further achieved, and the control efficiency of the electric heater is improved. The target temperature of the PTC electric heater can be adjusted according to parameters such as the set temperature in the vehicle and the temperature outside the vehicle, and the actual temperature value and the actual input voltage value of the PTC can be obtained through the detection unit.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a PTC thermostat control system with an electrical snubber circuit in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the PTC electric heater is supplied with power using a direct current power supply. Wherein, the direct current DC power supply can be obtained by distributing voltage by the battery pack through the power management system. The embodiment can adopt a high-voltage direct-current DC power supply to supply power to the PTC electric heater, and also can adopt a low-voltage high-current power supply to supply power to the PTC electric heater.
In hardware control, a traditional PTC temperature regulation control system supplies power to a PTC electric heater in a mode of switching on and off a direct current contactor, so that when the direct current contactor is switched on, the current rapidly rises, and when the direct current contactor is switched off, due to the fact that du/dt is large, adhesion of the direct current contactor is easily caused, a power supply of the PTC cannot be effectively disconnected, the PTC is further continuously heated, the temperature in a vehicle continues to rise, and potential safety hazards exist. The embodiment adopts the RCD buffer circuit with the buffer function and the switching tube of the di/dt suppression circuit to replace the traditional direct current contactor, so that on one hand, the influence of large current impact generated due to the existence of high voltage at the front end in the initial electrifying stage can be improved; on the other hand, when the PTC electric heater is switched on and off, the direct current contactor can be prevented from being stuck. The RCD buffer circuit with the buffer function comprises a resistor Rs, a capacitor Cs and a diode Ds, wherein the resistor Rs and the diode Ds are connected in parallel and then connected in series with the capacitor Cs.
When the switch tube Q1 is switched on, the electric charge on the capacitor Cs discharges through the resistor Rs, so that the current on the switch tube Q1 rises for a stage, and then the load current gradually and slowly rises due to the existence of the di/dt suppression inductor L1 according to the principle that the inductor current cannot suddenly change, thereby avoiding the impact influence of large current at the moment of switching on.
When the switching tube Q1 is turned off, the heating of the PTC electric heater is stopped, and the load current is shunted to Cs, thereby reducing the load on the switching tube Q1. Because the on-off of the switching tube Q1 is controlled by the chip pulse, the on-off mode is more reliable than the on-off mode controlled by a direct current contactor in a mechanical mode, and the adhesion condition is avoided.
On the aspect of software control, the temperature of the PTC electric heater of the embodiment is accurately controlled by adopting a double PI regulation mode. Wherein, the outer loop is the temperature control ring, and the inner loop is the voltage control ring. Firstly, in a temperature control loop, a temperature sensor is used for acquiring the actual temperature on a PTC electric heater, for example, an infrared temperature sensor is used for acquiring the actual temperature on the PTC electric heater and comparing the actual temperature with a reference temperature on a fitted comfort level-temperature curve in advance to make a difference, the temperature difference value is used as the input of a temperature PI regulator, and the temperature PI regulator processes the temperature difference value through a PI algorithm to obtain a control voltage which is used as a reference quantity of a voltage control loop. In the voltage control conversion, a CPU samples the actual voltage loaded at two ends of a PTC obtained by Buck-Boost DC-DC conversion in real time, compares the actual voltage with the 'control voltage' obtained by a temperature control loop to obtain a difference value, the voltage difference value is used as the input of a voltage PI regulator, the voltage PI regulator processes the voltage difference value through a PI algorithm to obtain a duty ratio signal within the range of 0-1, and then compares the duty ratio signal with a signal generated by a signal generator through a comparator COMP, for example, the duty ratio signal can be compared with a signal generated by a sawtooth wave generator or a signal generated by a triangular wave generator with the amplitude of 1 and the period of dozens of KHz, so as to output a PWM pulse signal for controlling a switching tube Q2.
In the embodiment, because the period of the PI algorithm of the temperature control loop is far longer than that of the PI algorithm of the voltage control loop, the voltage at two ends of the PTC electric heater can be accurately controlled, and the temperature fluctuation of the PTC electric heater is very small.
Fig. 5 is a schematic illustration of a comfort-temperature curve according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, a curve of the relationship between comfort of human body and ambient temperature is described, wherein the unit of comfort is "%" and the unit of temperature is "° c". When the environmental temperature is 23-25 ℃, the human body feels most comfortable, and the comfort level can reach more than 90%; when the environmental temperature is lower, below 15 ℃, or higher than 30 ℃, the human body experience is poorer, and the comfort degree is sharply reduced. The temperature on this curve can be used as a reference temperature to compare with the actual temperature on the PTC electric heater.
In the embodiment, a mode of combining hardware protection and software protection is adopted in terms of protection measures. In terms of hardware protection, a fuse type recoverable overcurrent fuse tube is adopted, when the current of the PTC electric heater is too high, if the rated working current of the PTC electric heater is exceeded, a fuse in the fuse tube is fused due to the heating effect, and therefore the power supply of the PTC electric heater is cut off. In software protection, in order to prevent the adverse effect of rapid rise of the bus voltage under the condition of no load of the rear end, the current on the bus is collected in real time and compared with a protection current threshold, when the current is greater than a protection value, the switching tube Q1 is turned off, and meanwhile, the PWM pulse for controlling the switching tube Q2 is stopped, so that the power supply of the PTC electric heater is cut off, and the safety of a control system is improved.
It should be noted that the components other than the above components in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 are only illustrative of the embodiment of the present invention, and do not limit the embodiment of the present invention.
The embodiment aims at the circuit topology structure of voltage and temperature control at two ends of the high-voltage power supply PTC electric heater, and replaces the traditional direct current contactor with the switching tube, thereby solving the problem that the initial power-on stage of the PTC electric heater generates great current impact to influence the safety of a system circuit under the condition of high-voltage power supply from hardware; on the other hand, from the aspect of software control, the reliability of accurate control of the ambient temperature in the vehicle is enhanced through a double-loop PI control algorithm, a sampling current over-current detection technology is added, the safety of a control system is improved by utilizing a strategy of combining hardware protection and software protection, and the effect of improving the control efficiency of the electric heater is achieved.
