Specifically, the primary cooling system comprises a coolant tank 1, a first water pump 2, a flow regulating valve 3, a flow stop valve 4 and a flow meter 5; firstly, a temperature sensor 14 detects the real-time working temperature of the battery pack, and when the temperature of the battery pack is below 30 ℃, a primary cooling system does not work; when the temperature of the battery pack is above 30 ℃, the primary cooling system starts to work. First, the flow stop valve 4 is opened and the first water pump 2 is started to draw the coolant from the coolant tank 1, and the coolant flows through the flow control valve 3 and the flow stop valve 4 in this order, and flows into the spray nozzle 12 along the pipe groove after being adjusted by the flow meter 5.
Specifically, the secondary cooling system includes a compressor 11, a stratospheric condenser 10, an expansion valve 8, an evaporator 7, an air intake fan 9, and an air damper 6. Firstly, the temperature sensor 14 detects the real-time working temperature of the battery pack, and when the temperature of the battery pack is above 20 ℃, the secondary cooling system starts to work. The compressor 11 sucks low-temperature and low-pressure gas, the piston is driven to compress the gas through the operation of the motor, the refrigerant is compressed into high-pressure and high-temperature gas and discharged to the stratospheric condenser 10, the stratospheric condenser 10 can continuously dissipate heat in the process, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is condensed into saturated liquid, and the expansion valve 8 blocks the flow of the refrigerant, so that a high-pressure region and a low-pressure region are generated in a cooling system, and the refrigeration cycle is ensured to be carried out. Liquid flows into the evaporator 7 through the expansion valve 8, the evaporator 7 serves as a heat exchanger, high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator 7 through the expansion valve 8, the liquid refrigerant is changed into mist under the atomization effect of the expansion valve 8, and the mist refrigerant is changed into gas under the low-pressure condition. By utilizing the principle of evaporation and heat absorption, ambient heat is absorbed, and frost is formed near the evaporator 7, so that the surface temperature of the evaporator 7 is low at the moment, and cold air flowing through the surface of the evaporator is blown into the battery pack cooling chamber through the air inlet fan 9.
Specifically, the cooling system comprises a spray box 13, an atomizing nozzle 12, a temperature sensor 14, a battery pack 16 and a heat-conducting silicon sheet 15. Firstly, the temperature sensor 14 detects the real-time temperature of the battery pack operation, and when the temperature of the battery pack is above 20 ℃, the cooling system starts to operate. Further, when the temperature of the battery pack is between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃, the temperature control system outputs a wind speed control signal to the secondary cooling system, low-temperature gas is blown into the battery pack along the air inlet pipeline through the air inlet fan 9, the temperature of the battery pack is reduced, and the battery pack is discharged outdoors through the air outlet pipeline; when the temperature of the battery pack is above 30 ℃, the temperature control system outputs flow and air volume control signals at the same time, and the opening of the air valve needs to be adjusted in real time to control the cooling air volume. The nozzle 12 sprays atomized coolant on the heat-conducting silica gel sheet 15, the battery pack heat guided out by the cooling copper plate reduces the temperature of the battery pack by utilizing the principle of evaporation and heat absorption.
