The embodiment shown in fig. 3 is capable of implementing multiple modes by opening and closing different valve elements, five of which are illustrated in fig. 4-8, and the operation of which is described in detail below.
Mode #1(refer to FIG. 4)
In this mode, the valve port (3) and the valve port (4) of the four-way valve 1034 are closed, and the valve port (1) and the valve port (2) of the four-way valve 1034 are turned on. The valve port (1) of the three-way valve 1033 is closed, and the valve port (2) and the valve port (3) of the three-way valve 1033 are communicated. The fifth solenoid valve 306d and the sixth solenoid valve 306e are closed.
In this mode, the air conditioner is in a non-heat pump operating condition. The single-phase working medium flows through the motor assembly 201 to cool the motor assembly 201, but does not flow through the battery cooling plate 102. The two-phase working fluid flows through the in-vehicle evaporator 304 of the air conditioning module 30 and through the battery cooling plate 102, and the battery cooling plate 102 functions as an evaporator to efficiently absorb heat of the battery 101. In this mode, the battery 101 exchanges heat with the two-phase medium to reduce the temperature.
The mode is suitable for the conditions that the environment temperature is higher (such as more than 25 ℃), the battery temperature is higher (such as more than 40 ℃), and the motor assembly has cooling requirements.
Mode #2(refer to FIG. 5)
In this mode, the valve port (2) and the valve port (4) of the four-way valve 1034 are closed, and the valve port (1) and the valve port (3) of the four-way valve 1034 are switched on. The valve port (2) of the three-way valve 1033 is closed, and the valve ports (1) and (3) of the three-way valve 1033 are communicated. The first solenoid valve 1044, the fifth solenoid valve 306d, and the sixth solenoid valve 306e are closed.
In this mode, the air conditioner is in a non-heat pump operating condition. The single-phase working medium flows through the motor assembly 201, cools the motor assembly 201, and then flows into the battery cooling plate 102 after being radiated by the radiator 202. The two-phase working fluid flows only in the air conditioning module 30 and does not flow through the battery cooling plate 102. In this mode, the battery 101 exchanges heat with a single-phase working medium.
The mode is suitable for the conditions that the environment temperature is lower (such as less than 25 ℃), the battery temperature is moderate (such as 20-40 ℃), the motor assembly has cooling requirements, and the battery inlet temperature monitors and displays that the working medium temperature is lower (such as less than 30 ℃).
Mode #3(refer to FIG. 6)
In this mode, valve port (3) and valve port (4) of four-way valve 1034 are closed, and valve port (1) and valve port (2) of four-way valve 1034 are turned on, valve port (1) of three-way valve 1033 is closed, valve port (2) and valve port (3) of three-way valve 1033 are turned on, and first solenoid valve 1044, fifth solenoid valve 306d, and sixth solenoid valve 306e are closed;
in this mode, the air conditioner is in a non-heat pump operating condition. The single-phase working medium flows through the motor assembly 201 to cool the motor assembly 201, but does not flow through the battery cooling plate 102. The two-phase working fluid flows only in the air conditioning module 30 and does not flow through the battery cooling plate 102. In this mode, the battery cooling plate 102 does not exchange heat with either a single phase or a two phase working fluid.
The mode is suitable for the condition that the temperature of the battery 101 is moderate (such as 20-40 ℃), but the temperature of the single-phase working medium in the first loop is relatively high (such as more than 35 ℃). The battery has no strong cooling requirements at this point, and the single-phase working fluid in the first circuit also has no cooling conditions for the battery.
Mode #4(refer to FIG. 7)
In this mode, the valve port (1) and the valve port (2) of the four-way valve 1034 are closed, and the valve port (3) and the valve port (4) of the four-way valve 1034 are switched on. Port (2) of three-way valve 1033 is closed, port (1) and port (3) of three-way valve 1033 are opened, first solenoid valve 1044 and third solenoid valve 306b are closed, and heater 105 can be turned on.
In this mode, the air conditioner is in a heat pump operating condition. The single-phase working medium flows through the motor assembly 201, absorbs the waste heat of the motor assembly 201, and then optionally absorbs the heat in the heater 105 and flows through the battery cooling plate 102 to heat the battery 101. The two-phase working fluid flows only in the air conditioning module 30 and does not flow through the battery cooling plate 102. In this mode, the battery 101 exchanges heat with a single-phase working medium to increase the temperature.
If the vehicle is in a driving state, the residual heat of the motor or the inverter in the motor assembly 201 can be utilized by the battery 101; if the mode is the quick charging mode, the motor assembly 201 may not have residual heat, and the heater 105 is mainly used for heating the battery 101; in the trickle charge mode, the residual heat from the onboard charger in the motor assembly 201 can be utilized by the battery 101.
The mode is suitable for the conditions that the environment temperature is lower (such as lower than 15 ℃), the temperature of the battery 101 is lower (such as lower than 15 ℃), and the motor assembly has cooling requirements.
Mode #5(refer to FIG. 8)
In this mode, the valve port (1) and the valve port (2) of the four-way valve 1034 are closed, and the valve port (3) and the valve port (4) of the four-way valve 1034 are turned on. The port (2) of the three-way valve 1033 is closed, the ports (1) and (3) of the three-way valve 1033 are opened, the third solenoid valve 306b is closed, and the heater 105 can be turned on.
In this mode, the air conditioner is in the heat pump working condition, the single-phase working medium flows through the motor assembly 201, flows through the battery cooling plate 102 after absorbing the waste heat of the motor assembly 201, and the two-phase working medium flows through the battery cooling plate 102, and finally flows into the air conditioning module 30 after absorbing the waste heat of the battery 101 and the waste heat of the single-phase working medium in the battery cooling plate 102, so that the efficiency of the heat pump working condition of the air conditioner is improved, and the heating energy consumption of the passenger compartment is reduced.
This mode is suitable for passenger compartment with heating request, low ambient temperature (e.g., < 15 deg.C), especially low ambient temperature (e.g., < -10 deg.C), and the heating efficiency of air conditioner is close to 1, and the battery temperature is relatively high (e.g., > 28 deg.C), and the battery will reach the high temperature region in low temperature environment only after the battery is charged quickly or during the driving process.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the battery cooling plate 102 may be provided in a multilayer structure, with the flow channel cavities that are not communicated with each other being formed by the multilayer structure, in other words, the flow channel cavities that are not communicated with each other being formed between different layers.

The second flow channel cavity b2 is formed between the second plate layer 1022 and the third plate layer 1023, and is enclosed by the convex portions a1 of the third plate layer 1023 and the second plate layer 1022.
The protruding directions of the convex a1 of the first plate layer 1021 and the convex a1 of the third plate layer 1023 may be the same or opposite. In fig. 10, the protrusions a1 of the first plate layer 1021 and the protrusions a1 of the second plate layer 1022 both protrude away from the second plate layer 1022, and the protruding directions of the protrusions a1 and the protrusions a1 of the second plate layer 1022 are opposite, and in comparison, the protruding directions are opposite, which is more favorable for improving the structural strength and the heat exchange effect of the battery cooling plate 102.
In addition, a plurality of concave pits a2 which are concave towards the flow channel cavity can be arranged on the convex part a1 of the first plate layer 1021 and the convex part a1 of the second plate layer 1022, so that a flow disturbing effect can be achieved, and the heat exchange effect of the battery cooling plate 102 can be further enhanced.
