Technical Field

In order to maintain proper working temperature of various working media, the working temperature is generally maintained by auxiliary heating of cold media and auxiliary cooling of hot media.
The existing mode has the following defects:
1. low thermal efficiency: most of heat generated by the engine during working is taken away by the cooling system and is not recycled, so that heat loss is caused;

In this embodiment: the electric control unit controls the power polarity of the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 according to the working medium circulating in the inner side medium cavity 10; the electric control unit controls the magnitude of the current flowing through the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 according to the temperature difference of the working media flowing through the inner side medium cavity 10 and the outer side medium cavity 11, so that the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 is heated or cooled in an auxiliary mode.
According to the engine thermal cycle management system, in the working process of an engine, required working media including the quantity of the working media are selected according to the working media to be cooled or heated actually, the working media circulate in the inner side medium cavity 10 and the outer side medium cavity 11, the working media in the inner side medium cavity 10 exchange heat with the working media in the pipeline 1, the heat or the cold of the working media in the outer side medium cavity 11 is rapidly transmitted to the inner side medium cavity 10 by the semiconductor heat pump layer 2, the inner side medium cavity 10 exchanges heat with the working media in the pipeline 1, and the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 assists in rapidly exchanging heat, so that the problem that each working medium is independently heated or cooled in the prior art is solved, and the heat of each working medium is interactively exchanged.
The invention collects the temperature of each working medium by using the temperature detection unit, the temperature is transmitted to the electric control unit, and the electric control unit controls the flow of each working medium according to the temperature to adjust heat exchange so as to achieve the aim of heating or cooling. And similarly, when the heat exchange between the working media cannot meet the requirement, the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 is started to assist in heating or cooling, so that the working media can obtain the required temperature. Therefore, the invention organically integrates the circulation pipelines 1 of various working media of the engine and the heating and cooling system, improves the heat efficiency of the engine, avoids the waste of electric energy and reduces the influence on the service life of the battery.
In the present embodiment, the temperature detection unit includes a first temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the working medium flowing through the pipeline 1, a second temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the working medium flowing through the inner medium chamber 10, and a third temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the working medium flowing through the outer medium chamber 11. Furthermore, the temperature detection unit further comprises a fourth temperature sensor for detecting the ambient temperature, the electronic control unit controls the semiconductor heat pump layer 2, the first flow valve and the second flow valve based on the ambient temperature collected by the fourth temperature sensor, and selection of each working medium is more reasonable through the ambient temperature.
The following are specifically mentioned: in this embodiment, a urea solution circulation pipeline 1 is taken as an example for description, and since the specific heat capacities of diesel oil and urea solution are similar, the working medium circulated in the inner side medium cavity 10 is designed to be diesel oil, and the working medium circulated in the outer side medium cavity 11 is designed to be water; then the hot end of the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 is located in the inner dielectric cavity 10, and the cold end of the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 is located on the outer dielectric cavity 11 side.
As shown in fig. 1, when the temperature of the urea solution is lower than a preset value, the electronic control unit controls the first flow valve to increase the flow rate of the diesel oil, so that more heat carried by the diesel oil is transferred to the urea solution; if the temperature of the urea solution is higher than the preset value, the flow of the diesel oil can be reduced or closed, so that the urea solution is not increased any more. After the diesel oil flow is increased, the temperature of the urea solution is still smaller than a preset value, the second flow valve can be controlled, the water flow is increased, and the heat of water is quickly transferred to the diesel oil and the urea solution under the action of the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 to heat the diesel oil and the urea solution. When the temperature difference between the water and the diesel oil is smaller than a preset value, the flow of the water is increased, the diesel oil and the urea solution are not heated up quickly, at the moment, the electric control unit closes the second flow valve, the current of the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 is controlled, and the semiconductor heat pump layer 2 heats the diesel oil and the urea solution, so that the aim of quickly heating up is fulfilled.
