It will be appreciated that in embodiments where a four-way valve and a three-way valve are used instead of one five-way valve and an eight-way valve 142 is used instead of two five-way valves, the same principle as the five-way valve can be used to implement different modes of operation, and the principle is the same as that of the five-way valve and will not be repeated here.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the thermal management system 200 has a first operation mode, and the first operation mode is a battery super cooling mode, or super cooling of the power battery 205 by controlling the connection states of the first five-way valve 136 and the second five-way valve 137 is the first operation mode. In the first operation mode, the valve assembly 110 is in a first preset state, in the first preset state, the valve assembly 110 communicates with the inlet of the outlet motor water pump 109 of the heater core 207, and also communicates with the outlet of the radiator 203 and the inlet of the heating water pump 107, and specifically, the first preset state of the valve assembly 110 may be: the second end a2 and the third end a3 of the first five-way valve 136 are communicated, the first end a1 and the fourth end a4 of the first five-way valve 136 are communicated, the second end b2 and the fifth end b5 of the second five-way valve 137 are communicated, and the third end b3 and the fourth end b4 of the second five-way valve 137 are communicated. In the first operation mode, the compressor 201 and the battery water pump 108 are started, the heating water pump 107 and/or the motor water pump 109 are also started, the stop valve 121 of the thermal management integrated unit 100 is in a closed state, the first throttling device 119 is in a fully opened state, the external stop valve 211 is in a closed state, the second throttling device 120 is in a throttling operation state, and the third throttling device 210 is in a closed state.
Under the condition, the battery water pump 108 conveys the cooling liquid to the power battery 205 and the battery cooler 113, the motor water pump 109 and/or the heating water pump 107 conveys the cooling liquid to the water-cooled condenser 111, the compressor 201 starts to output the cooling medium, the cooling medium flowing out of the compressor 201 flows through the water-cooled condenser 111 to carry out first cooling so as to transfer heat to the first group of cooling liquid, the cooling medium after the first cooling enters the outdoor heat exchanger 202 through the first throttling device 119 to carry out second cooling, the cooling medium after the second cooling enters the battery cooler 113 through the one-way valve 122 to evaporate and absorb heat so as to cool the second group of cooling liquid flowing through the battery cooler 113, the cooling medium absorbs heat and flows out of the first cooling medium output end 1134 of the battery cooler 113 to the gas-liquid separator 209, and finally returns to the compressor 201 to carry out the next circulation. In this process, the cooling medium is cooled twice to sufficiently cool the cooling medium, so that the cooling medium can efficiently absorb heat of the second group of cooling fluids after entering the battery cooler 113.
Simultaneously when the refrigerant circulates, the heating water pump 107 and the motor water pump 109 are simultaneously activated with power, or only one of the heating water pump 107 and the motor water pump 109 is activated, so that the first group of cooling fluid absorbs heat in the water-cooled condenser 111 and flows through the liquid heater 208 (the liquid heater 208 is not activated), then the first group of cooling fluid enters the warm air core 207, then the first group of cooling fluid flows out from the outlet of the warm air core 207, then flows to the fourth end a4 from the first end a1 of the first five-way valve 136, flows out from the fourth end a4 to enter the second five-way valve 137, flows to the second end b2 from the fifth end b5 of the second five-way valve 137, flows out from the second end b2 and then enters the motor water pump 109. The motor water pump 109 may be turned on to accelerate the flow of the first group of coolant, or may not be turned on and only relies on the heating water pump 107 to propel the flow of the first group of coolant. The first group of the coolant flowing out of the motor water pump 109 flows to the electric driving part 204 to transfer heat to the respective components of the electric driving part 204, then the first group of the coolant flows to the radiator 203 to be further cooled so that the first group of the coolant is lower in temperature, and finally the first group of the coolant flows out of the radiator 203, and then flows from the third end a3 to the second end a2 of the first five-way valve 136 to enter the heating water pump 107, completing the circulation. In the process, after the first group of cooling liquid absorbs heat of the refrigerant in the water-cooled condenser 111, the heat is respectively transferred to the electric driving part 204 and the radiator 203, the first group of cooling liquid is obviously cooled, so that the first group of cooling liquid can absorb more heat of the refrigerant in the water-cooled condenser 111, and further the refrigerant can absorb more heat of the second group of cooling liquid to realize super cooling of the power battery 205 so as to improve the charging speed of the power battery 205.
Meanwhile, the battery water pump 108 is in an on state, the battery water pump 108 circularly delivers the second group of cooling fluid to the power battery 205 to take away heat generated by the power battery 205, the taken away heat enters the battery cooler 113 through the second group of cooling fluid to transfer the heat to the cooling medium, and then the second group of cooling fluid flows from the third end b3 to the fourth end b4 of the second five-way valve 137 to enter the battery water pump 108 to complete circulation. Note that the directions of arrows in fig. 3 represent the flow directions of the coolant and the refrigerant.
As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the heat of the first cooling of the refrigerant can be taken away by the electric driving part 204 and the heat sink 203, and then the heat of the second cooling is taken away by the outdoor heat exchanger 202, so as to sufficiently cool the refrigerant by two-stage cooling, so that the refrigerant after two-stage cooling is evaporated in the battery cooler 113 to cool the liquid flowing through the battery cooler 113, thereby efficiently cooling and dissipating the heat of the power battery 205, improving the heat dissipation capability of the power battery 205, and thus increasing the charging speed of the power battery 205.
It is understood that referring to fig. 12, in other embodiments, the first five-way valve 136 may be replaced with a first four-way valve 138 and a first three-way valve 140, and the second five-way valve 137 may be replaced with a second four-way valve 139 and a second three-way valve 141 to achieve the first mode of operation.
In such a case, when the first mode of operation is activated, the valve assembly 110 is in a first predetermined state. Specifically, the first preset state of the valve assembly 110 is: the second end c2 and the third end c3 of the first four-way valve 138 are communicated, the first end c1 and the fourth end c4 of the first four-way valve 138 are communicated, the first end d1 and the third end d3 of the first three-way valve 140 are communicated, the second end e2 and the third end e3 of the second three-way valve 141 are communicated, the first end f1 and the second end f2 of the second four-way valve 139 are communicated, and the third end f3 and the fourth end f4 of the second four-way valve 139 are communicated. In the first operation mode, the compressor 201 and the battery water pump 108 are started, the heating water pump 107 and/or the motor water pump 109 are also started, the stop valve 121 of the thermal management integrated unit 100 is in a closed state, the first throttling device 119 is in a fully opened state, the external stop valve 211 is in a closed state, the second throttling device 120 is in a throttling operation state, and the third throttling device 210 is in a closed state. In this case, the flow pattern of the refrigerant is the same as that of the five-way valve, and thus, the description thereof is omitted.
The heating water pump 107 and/or the motor water pump 109 are activated so that the first group of cooling fluid flows through the liquid heater 208 (the liquid heater 208 is not activated) after absorbing heat in the water cooled condenser 111, and then enters the heating core 207 to release heat. The first group of cooling fluids then flows out of the outlet of the warm air core 207, then flows from the first end d1 of the first three-way valve 140 to the third end d3, then flows from the first end c1 of the first four-way valve 138 to the fourth end c4, then flows from the second end e2 of the second three-way valve 141 to the third end e3, flows from the first end f1 of the second four-way valve 139 to the second end f2, flows out of the second end f2, and enters the motor water pump 109. The motor water pump 109 may be turned on to accelerate the flow of the first group of coolant, or may not be turned on and only relies on the heating water pump 107 to propel the flow of the first group of coolant. The first group of cooling fluid flowing from the motor water pump 109 flows to the electric driving part 204 to transfer heat to each element of the electric driving part 204, then flows to the radiator 203 to further dissipate heat, so that the first group of cooling fluid is lower in temperature, and finally flows from the radiator 203, and then flows from the third end c3 of the first four-way valve 138 to the second end c2 to enter the heating water pump 107, completing the circulation. In the process, after the first group of cooling liquid absorbs the heat of the refrigerant in the water-cooled condenser 111, the heat is respectively transmitted to the passenger compartment, the electric driving component 204 and the radiator 203, the first group of cooling liquid is obviously cooled, so that the first group of cooling liquid can absorb more heat of the refrigerant in the water-cooled condenser 111, and further the refrigerant can absorb more heat of the second group of cooling liquid.
Meanwhile, the battery water pump 108 is in an on state, the battery water pump 108 circularly delivers the second group of cooling fluid to the power battery 205 to take away heat generated by the power battery 205, the taken away heat enters the battery cooler 113 through the second group of cooling fluid to transfer the heat to the cooling medium, and then the second group of cooling fluid flows from the third end f3 to the fourth end f4 of the second four-way valve 139 to enter the battery water pump 108 to complete circulation. Note that the directions of arrows in fig. 12 represent the flow directions of the coolant and the refrigerant.
It should be further understood that referring to fig. 13, in other embodiments, an eight-way valve 142 may be used in place of the first five-way valve 136 and the second five-way valve 137 to implement the first mode of operation
. In such a case, when the first mode of operation is activated, the valve assembly 110 is in a first predetermined state. Specifically, the first preset state of the valve assembly 110 is: the second end g2 of the eight-way valve 142 communicates with the third end g3, the first end g1 of the eight-way valve 142 communicates with the fifth end g5, and the sixth end g6 and the seventh end g7 of the eight-way valve 142 communicate. In the first operation mode, the compressor 201 and the battery water pump 108 are started, the heating water pump 107 and/or the motor water pump 109 are also started, the stop valve 121 of the thermal management integrated unit 100 is in a closed state, the first throttling device 119 is in a fully opened state, the external stop valve 211 is in a closed state, the second throttling device 120 is in a throttling operation state, and the third throttling device 210 is in a closed state. In this case, the flow pattern of the refrigerant is the same as that of the five-way valve, and thus, the description thereof is omitted.
The heating water pump 107 and/or the motor water pump 109 are activated so that the first group of cooling fluid flows through the liquid heater 208 (the liquid heater 208 is not activated) after absorbing heat in the water cooled condenser 111, and then enters the heating core 207 to release heat. The first set of coolant then exits the outlet of the heater core 207, flows from the first end g1 to the fifth end g5 of the eight-way valve 142, exits the fifth end g5 and enters the motor water pump 109. The motor water pump 109 may be turned on to accelerate the flow of the first group of coolant, or may not be turned on and only relies on the heating water pump 107 to propel the flow of the first group of coolant. The first group of coolant flowing out of the motor water pump 109 flows to the electric driving part 204 to transfer heat to the respective components of the electric driving part 204, then flows to the radiator 203 to further dissipate heat, so that the first group of coolant is lower in temperature, and finally flows out of the radiator 203, and then flows from the third end g3 to the second end g2 of the eight-way valve 142 to enter the heating water pump 107, completing the circulation. In the process, after the first group of cooling liquid absorbs the heat of the refrigerant in the water-cooled condenser 111, the heat is respectively transmitted to the passenger compartment, the electric driving component 204 and the radiator 203, the first group of cooling liquid is obviously cooled, so that the first group of cooling liquid can absorb more heat of the refrigerant in the water-cooled condenser 111, and further the refrigerant can absorb more heat of the second group of cooling liquid.
Meanwhile, the battery water pump 108 is turned on, the battery water pump 108 circularly delivers the second group of cooling fluid to the power battery 205 to remove heat generated by the power battery 205, the removed heat is transferred to the cooling medium by the second group of cooling fluid entering the battery cooler 113, and then the second group of cooling fluid flows from the seventh end g7 to the sixth end g6 of the eight-way valve 142 to enter the battery water pump 108 to complete the circulation. Note that the directions of arrows in fig. 13 represent the flow directions of the coolant and the refrigerant.
Referring to fig. 14, in some embodiments, the thermal management system 200 further has a second operation mode, namely an air conditioning and heating mode, to heat the passenger compartment. In the second operation mode, the battery water pump 108 is turned off, the heating water pump 107 and the compressor 201 are turned on, the valve assembly 110 is in the second preset state, the cut-off valve 121 is in the closed state, the first throttling device 119 is in the throttling operation state, the external cut-off valve 211 is in the open state, the second throttling device 120 is in the closed state, and the third throttling device 210 is in the closed state. In the second preset state, the valve assembly 110 may communicate the inlet of the heating water pump 107 and the outlet of the heating core 207, so that the cooling liquid coming out of the heating core 207 enters the heating water pump 107 through the valve assembly 110 to complete the circulation.
Referring to fig. 14, when the valve assembly 110 is the first five-way valve 136 and the second five-way valve 137, the second preset state of the valve assembly 110 is: the first end a1 and the second end a2 of the first five way valve 136 communicate. In the second operation mode, the compressor 201 outputs the refrigerant, the refrigerant transfers heat to the coolant when flowing through the water-cooled condenser 111, then the refrigerant enters the outdoor heat exchanger 202 through the first throttling device 119 to be gasified and absorb heat, the gasified refrigerant enters the gas-liquid separator 209 from the external stop valve 211, and finally returns to the compressor 201 to perform the next cycle. Meanwhile, the heating water pump 107 is turned on, the heating water pump 107 circularly delivers the coolant to the water cooled condenser 111, the coolant enters the liquid heater 208 after absorbing heat in the water cooled condenser 111, the liquid heater 208 further heats the coolant, the coolant then enters the warm air core 207, and the coolant releases heat in the warm air core 207 to heat the passenger compartment of the vehicle 300. The coolant, which has released heat, flows out of the outlet of the heater core 207, then flows from the first end a1 to the second end a2 of the five-way valve, and flows out of the second end a2 to enter the heating water pump 107 for circulation. Note that the directions of arrows in fig. 14 represent the flow directions of the coolant and the refrigerant.
It is understood that referring to fig. 15, in other embodiments, the first five-way valve 136 may be replaced with a first four-way valve 138 and a first three-way valve 140, and the second five-way valve 137 may be replaced with a second four-way valve 139 and a second three-way valve 141 to achieve the second mode of operation. In such a case, when the second operation mode is turned on, the second preset state of the valve assembly 110 is: the first end d1 and the third end d3 of the first three-way valve 140 are communicated, and the first end c1 and the second end c2 of the first four-way valve 138 are communicated.
In this case, the coolant having released heat flows out from the outlet of the heater core 207, then flows from the first end d1 of the first three-way valve 140 to the third end d3, then flows from the first end c1 of the first four-way valve 138 to the second end c2, and flows out from the second end c2 to enter the heating water pump 107 for circulation. Note that the directions of arrows in fig. 15 represent the flow directions of the coolant and the refrigerant.
It should be further understood that referring to fig. 16, in other embodiments, an eight-way valve 142 may be used in place of the first five-way valve 136 and the second five-way valve 137 to implement the second mode of operation. In such a case, when the second operation mode is turned on, the second preset state of the valve assembly 110 is: the first end g1 and the second end g2 of the eight-way valve 142 communicate.
In this case, the coolant, which has released heat, flows out of the outlet of the heater core 207, then flows from the first end g1 to the second end g2 of the eight-way valve 142, and flows out of the second end g2 to enter the heating water pump 107 for circulation. Note that the arrows in fig. 16 indicate the flow direction of the coolant and the refrigerant.
In addition, the above description is only exemplary of the several modes that can be implemented by the thermal management integrated unit 100 and the thermal management system 200 of the present invention. It is understood that the integrated thermal management unit 100 of the present invention can also implement other modes besides the above-mentioned modes, such as air conditioning heating, power battery heating, natural heat dissipation of the electric driving components, thermal insulation of the battery by using the heat of the electric driving components, dehumidification of the passenger compartment, heating of the passenger compartment by using the heat of the electric driving components, deicing modes, etc., which are not described in detail herein.

The above steps S10 and S20 may be implemented by an onboard controller (e.g., a processor unit such as a vehicle controller) of the vehicle 300. Specifically, in step S10, the temperature of the power battery 205 may be fed back by acquiring the value of the first water temperature sensor 218 disposed at the outlet of the power battery 205 to detect the temperature of the coolant flowing out of the power battery 205.
Further, in step S20, when it is detected that the temperature value of the power battery 205 is greater than the preset temperature, the battery water pump 108 is controlled to start, and the valve assembly 110 is controlled to be in the first preset state to enable the thermal management system 200 to enter the first operation mode.
