The temperature control method of the galvanic pile comprises the following steps:

step S1: a fuel cell stack is typically intended to operate at a particular temperature, denoted Tid; the temperature control method is performed in a loop, as shown in FIG. 3, with a loop period typically between 0.001 and 0.05s depending on the controller performance.

Step S2: reading out a pile inlet and outlet signal and an external circulation temperature signal Tout, Tin and Trad through a sensor; and calculating the difference delta Trad between the outer circulation temperature Trad and the temperature at the inlet of the galvanic pile in real time, calculating the difference delta T between the actual temperature and the ideal temperature in real time, and calculating the change rate Dc of the difference between the actual temperature and the ideal temperature in real time.

Step S4: adding the two control values obtained in the step S3 and the control value derived from the delta T to obtain the control opening Op of the three-way valve; and outputting the obtained control opening Op of the three-way valve to a controller, and controlling the three-way valve to obtain a corresponding opening Op.

Step S5: when the temperature is less than the target temperature, the heater is turned on, and when the temperature is greater than the target temperature, the heater is turned off.

The method for controlling the temperature difference of the electric pile comprises the following steps:

step 1: the temperature difference control method for the in-out of the galvanic pile is executed in a circulating way by the following procedures, as shown in fig. 3, the circulating period is determined according to the performance of the controller and is usually 0.001-0.05 s; and reading out the outlet and inlet signals of the electric pile and the external circulation temperature signals Tout, Tin and Trad through sensors, and reading out an opening signal Op of the three-way valve.

Step 2: calculating the difference delta Tstack of the inlet and outlet temperatures of the galvanic pile in real time, and calculating the temperature difference delta Trad of the outer circulation temperature and the inlet temperature of the galvanic pile in real time; and the delta Tstack is used as the input of a corresponding PID controller, and a PID water pump rotating speed control output value Npump1 driven by the temperature difference of the electric pile is output.

And step 3: the delta Trad is used as the input of a corresponding PID controller, and a PID water pump rotating speed control output value Npump2 driven by the temperature difference of the internal and external circulating cooling liquid is output; and (3) obtaining a gain value (0-100) according to the opening signal Op by looking up a table, wherein the gain value is calibrated according to the actual control effect of the system, the gain value is usually (0-100), 0 is a control value for canceling the output of the corresponding variable, and 100 is a control value for enhancing the influence of the variable on the speed of the water pump to the maximum extent. This gain value is multiplied by Npump2 to obtain a water pump rotation speed control output value Npump3 driven by the difference in the inside-outside circulation coolant temperature and the opening degree of the three-way valve.

And 4, step 4: adding the Npump1 and the Npump3 to obtain the actual control rotating speed Npump of the water pump; and outputting the obtained water pump rotating speed control target Npump to a controller, and controlling the water pump to reach a corresponding rotating speed Npump.

The vehicle-mounted radiator is arranged at the head of the fuel cell vehicle and used for radiating the externally circulated cooling liquid, and the system is controlled by the vehicle controller according to the requirements of the vehicle and is not influenced by the fuel cell system. When the vehicle runs fast, the passive air intake of the vehicle-mounted radiator is increased due to the rising of the vehicle speed, the cooling performance is further improved, and the fuel of any additional vehicle is not consumed.

The temperature sensors are arranged on a cooling liquid pipeline of a cooling liquid inlet and an outlet of the fuel cell stack and an external circulation vehicle-mounted radiator cooling liquid outlet pipeline and are used for monitoring the temperature of the cooling liquid at the positions in real time.

When the fuel cell system starts to operate, the fuel cell starts to emit heat, and the temperature inside the fuel cell system rises. By operating the water pump, the cooling liquid circulates in the fuel cell system, flows through the galvanic pile to take out heat in the galvanic pile and is sent to the vehicle-mounted radiator to dissipate the heat. And the cooled cooling liquid flows back to the galvanic pile again to realize the control of the temperature of the galvanic pile of the fuel cell. The faster the water pump rotates, the higher the coolant flow, the faster the heat is brought out from the fuel cell stack, and the faster the heat can be sent to the external circulation to be dissipated.

When the temperature difference is generated at the inlet and the outlet of the electric pile, the temperature difference (such as 5 ℃) is used as the input of the corresponding PID controller, the PID water pump rotating speed control output value driven by the temperature difference of the electric pile is output, and the output value can be within the range of 1000 plus 10000 according to the type of the water pump. In addition, the temperature difference of the internal and external circulating cooling liquid is also used as the input of a corresponding PID controller, and the PID water pump rotating speed control output value driven by the temperature difference of the internal and external circulating cooling liquid is output. And obtaining a gain value (0-100, if the gain is 100 when the external circulation is fully opened and the gain is 0 when the internal circulation is fully closed, namely the influence of the internal and external circulation temperature difference is closed) according to the opening information table of the three-way valve, and multiplying the gain value by a PID water pump rotating speed control output value driven by the internal and external circulation cooling liquid temperature difference to obtain a water pump rotating speed control output value driven by the internal and external circulation cooling liquid temperature difference and the opening of the three-way valve. And adding the PID water pump rotating speed control output value driven by the temperature difference of the electric pile and the water pump rotating speed control output value driven by the temperature difference of the internal and external circulating cooling liquid and the opening of the three-way valve to obtain the actual control rotating speed of the water pump. The faster the water pump rotates, the greater the cooling flow, and the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the electric pile can be reduced. In addition, when the temperature difference between the inside and the outside is large, the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of the stack is large when the externally circulated cooling liquid is introduced, so that in this case, the rotating speed of the water pump needs to be further increased according to the amount of the externally circulated cooling liquid entering the internal circulation (determined by the three-way valve).

When the temperature of the fuel cell system is not high enough, the difference delta T between the actual temperature and the ideal temperature is a negative number and is 0 ℃ after passing through the filtering wave. At this time, it is not necessary to open the three-way valve to allow the coolant to flow into the external circulation to dissipate heat, and therefore the opening of the output three-way valve is 0 to allow all the coolant to flow through the internal circulation of the fuel cell system. Meanwhile, the heater is turned on, the cooling liquid is controlled not to enter external circulation and only circularly flows in the fuel cell system, so that the heat of the fuel cell system can be kept, and the temperature of the fuel cell stack can be stably raised.

And when the temperature exceeds the target temperature, closing the heater, calculating the difference delta Trad between the outer circulation temperature Trad and the temperature at the inlet of the galvanic pile in real time, calculating the difference delta T (such as 0-20 ℃) between the actual temperature and the ideal temperature in real time, and deriving the data of the delta T to obtain the change rates Dc, delta Trad, delta T and Dc of the difference between the actual temperature and the ideal temperature which are calculated in real time and respectively used as the input of the corresponding PID controllers, and outputting the opening control values (0-100% opening) of the three-way valves. The control values derived from Δ Trad and Dc are multiplied by the respective gains, the control value derived from Δ Trad is multiplied by 50, and the control value derived from Dc is multiplied by 10. And adding the obtained control values after the two gains and the control value of the delta T derived by the PID controller to obtain the control opening Op of the three-way valve (0-100% opening, wherein 0 is the opening of the cooling liquid which completely flows in the internal circulation, and 100 is the opening of the cooling liquid which completely enters the external circulation and then enters the fuel cell system). And by adjusting the opening of the three-way valve, part or all of the cooling liquid is shunted into the external circulation to dissipate heat, and after the cooling liquid is circulated back, the temperature of the fuel cell stack is reduced to a target temperature.

The temperature difference of the electric pile entering and exiting the electric pile and the temperature control flow of the electric pile are circularly operated in the controller, and the circulation period is determined according to the performance of the controller and is usually between 0.001 and 0.05 s.

The invention also provides a control system of the fuel cell thermal management system, wherein the control system applies the control device of the fuel cell thermal management system, and comprises a galvanic pile temperature control system and a galvanic pile temperature difference control system.
