It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the selection of the compressor 1, the first valve 6, the second valve 7, and the third valve 8 is only one of many embodiments of the present invention, and is not a limitation of the present invention. In other embodiments of the present invention, the compressor, the first valve, the second valve, and the third valve may be selected in other ways, so as to achieve the technical objects and technical effects of the present invention.

With reference to fig. 2-7 in conjunction with fig. 1, the thermal management circuit system of the present invention can form different thermal management circuits by conducting different components and pipes. The thermal management circuit of the present invention mainly comprises four types, namely: a refrigeration loop, a refrigeration dehumidification loop, a heating dehumidification loop and a heating loop. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the four thermal management circuits described above are only a few embodiments of the thermal management circuit system of the present invention and are not intended to be limiting of the invention. Other reasonable combinations of the utilization of the thermal management loop system of the present invention are also possible and are within the scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2, in the refrigeration circuit: the third refrigerant interface 24, the exterior heat exchanger 3, the third valve 8, the compressor 1, the gas-liquid separator 5, the interior evaporator 4, and the first refrigerant interface 22 are sequentially communicated, and at this time, the exterior heat exchanger 3 serves as a condenser.
As shown in fig. 2, in the high temperature condition in summer, when the passenger compartment has a cooling demand, the electric compressor 1 and the cooling fan 29 are both turned on in the refrigeration circuit, the third (electronic expansion) valve 8 is fully opened, and the exterior heat exchanger 3 serves as a condenser. Refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state discharged by the electric compressor 1 flows through the third (electronic expansion) valve 8, enters the heat exchanger 3 outside the vehicle to exchange heat with high-temperature air in the external environment for cooling, then becomes a liquid state, enters the integration module 27 through the third refrigerant interface 24, is switched in different valve states inside and throttled by the (electronic expansion) valve 15 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure two-phase refrigerant, flows out of the first refrigerant interface 22, enters the evaporator 4 inside the vehicle to exchange heat with high-temperature gas inside the vehicle introduced by the blower 28 to cool the passenger compartment, and enters the gas-liquid separator 5, and the separated gas refrigerant enters the electric compressor 1 to start a new cycle.
Referring to fig. 3, the refrigeration circuit also communicates with the fifth refrigerant interface 26 and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 5 when the battery is simultaneously in need of cooling. At this time, the refrigerant liquid flowing out of the exterior heat exchanger 3 exchanges heat with the coolant in the battery cooler (cooler) 16 in the integrated module 27 to cool the battery, flows out of the fifth refrigerant port 26 to be mixed with the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant flowing out of the interior evaporator 4, and enters the gas-liquid separator 5, and the separated gas refrigerant enters the electric compressor 1 to start a new cycle.
