In the illustrated embodiment, the power plant includes a first water pump 251, a second water pump 252 and a third water pump 253, and the battery, the motor and the passenger compartment coolant loop can be controlled by the three water pumps respectively, so that the control is more accurate. The first water pump 251, the second water pump 252, and the third water pump 253 may be electronic water pumps, which further improves the control accuracy. In alternative implementations, the battery water circuit and the motor water circuit may share a single water pump/power unit. Or at least two of the passenger cavity water loop, the battery water loop and the motor water loop share the same water pump/power device, which is not limited in the application.
The thermal management system 100 includes a cooling mode in which the refrigerant outlet 123, the first heat exchanger 21, the throttling device (the first throttling device 35), the second heat exchanger 22, and the refrigerant inlet 122 are communicated to form a refrigerant circuit. The power unit (first water pump 251), the water inlet portion 161 of the compressor 10, the water outlet portion 162 of the compressor 10, and the third heat exchanger 23 are communicated to form a coolant circuit. The heat management system comprises an air conditioning box 25 and a cooling fan 26, the third heat exchanger 23 and the cooling fan 26 are arranged outside the air conditioning box 25, and the first heat exchanger 21, the cooling fan 26 and the third heat exchanger 25 are assembled together to form a front-end module 31.
The third heat exchanger 23 is a low-temperature heat-dissipation water tank disposed outside the air-conditioning case 25, the first water pump 251 drives the cooling liquid to pass through the compressor 10 and bring the heat of the motor part 13 of the compressor to the third heat exchanger 23, and the cooling fan 26 drives the air flow to pass through the outer surface of the third heat exchanger 23, thereby cooling the cooling liquid inside the third heat exchanger 23 and cooling the motor part 13 of the compressor 10. In the related art, the motor unit 13 of the compressor 10 is cooled by the refrigerant/refrigerant, and the suction temperature of the compression unit 14 of the compressor is increased, so that the concentration of the refrigerant becomes relatively low, and thus, the compression efficiency of the compressor 10 is low.
In the present application, the motor unit 13 of the compressor 10 is innovatively cooled by using the cooling liquid loop in the thermal management system 100 of the electric vehicle, and compared with the related art that the motor unit is cooled by using the refrigerant/cooling medium, the intake temperature of the compression unit 14 is reduced, so that the concentration of the refrigerant becomes relatively high, and therefore, the compression efficiency of the compressor 14 is improved.
In the cooling mode, the thermal management system 100 operates as follows: the compressor 10 compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows to the first heat exchanger 21 through the refrigerant outlet 123 of the compressor 10, the first heat exchanger 21 releases heat to outdoor air, the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 21 is condensed into a liquid refrigerant or a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, the refrigerant is throttled and depressurized by the first throttling device 35 to become a low-temperature low-pressure liquid refrigerant or a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, the refrigerant enters the second heat exchanger 22, the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant in the second heat exchanger 22 absorbs heat of air in the air conditioning box 25 and evaporates into a gas state or a gas-liquid state, so that the temperature of the air in the air conditioning box 25 is reduced, and the air in the air conditioning box 25 enters a passenger cavity through an air door and a pipeline, so that refrigeration of the passenger cavity is realized. The first throttling means 35 may be an electronic expansion valve, a thermostatic expansion valve, or a capillary tube, and preferably, the first throttling means 35 is an electronic expansion valve, so that it is more precise and easy to control and adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant.
The thermal management system 100 includes a fourth heat exchanger 32 and a first dual-channel heat exchanger 33, and the first dual-channel heat exchanger 33 includes a first heat exchanging portion 331 and a second heat exchanging portion 332 which are not communicated with each other. As shown in fig. 15, the thermal management system 100 includes a battery preheating mode, in which the first water pump 251, the first heat exchanging portion 331, the water inlet portion 161 of the compressor 10, the water outlet portion 162 of the compressor 10, and the fourth heat exchanger 32 are communicated to form a coolant circuit. The fourth heat exchanger 32 can exchange heat with a power battery of the electric vehicle, the first water pump 251 drives the cooling liquid to flow between the fourth heat exchanger 32 and the water jacket 16 of the compressor 10, therefore, the heat of the motor part 13 of the compressor can be recovered to heat the battery or preheat the battery, so that the battery can work efficiently in a proper temperature range, the heat of the motor part 13 and/or the controller 18 of the compressor 10 can be fully recovered, the energy efficiency ratio (COP) of the thermal management system is improved, the intake air temperature of the compressor 10 is lowered, the concentration of the refrigerant entering the compressor is higher, and the working efficiency of the compressor 10 is also improved.
Referring to fig. 15, the battery warm-up mode is often performed simultaneously with the passenger compartment heating mode. The thermal management system further comprises a second dual channel heat exchanger 34, and the second dual channel heat exchanger 34 comprises a third heat exchanging part 341 and a fourth heat exchanging part 342 which are not communicated. At this time, the refrigerant outlet 123 of the compressor 10, the third heat exchanging portion 341, the first heat exchanger 21, the second expansion device 24, the first heat exchanger 21, and the refrigerant inlet 122 of the compressor 10 communicate with each other to form a refrigerant circuit. In the heating mode, the thermal management system 100 operates as follows: the compressor 10 compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, the high-temperature high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows to the third heat exchanging portion 341 through the refrigerant outlet 123 of the compressor 10, the third heat exchanging portion 341 releases heat to the cooling liquid in the fourth heat exchanging portion 342, the high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant in the third heat exchanging portion 341 is condensed into a liquid refrigerant or a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, the refrigerant is throttled and depressurized by the second throttling device 24 to be changed into a low-temperature low-pressure liquid refrigerant or a gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, and then the refrigerant enters the first heat exchanger 21, the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 21 absorbs the heat of the air outside the vehicle and is evaporated into a gas state or a gas-liquid two state, and the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant enters the refrigerant inlet 122 of the compressor 10 through the gas-liquid separator 36 to circulate. The second throttling device 24 may be a combination of an expansion throttle 241 and a check valve 242, and in the cooling mode, the refrigerant passes through the check valve 242 without passing through the expansion throttle 241, so that the second throttling device 24 is only in a full-pass state; in the heating mode, the refrigerant is blocked by the check valve 242 and passes through the expansion throttle valve 241, thereby performing a throttling and pressure reducing function of the refrigerant. The expansion throttle 241 may be an electronic expansion valve or a thermostatic expansion valve, preferably an electronic expansion valve, the flow control being more precise. Of course, the second throttle device 24 may also be a full-pass throttle valve, and one electronic expansion valve integrates the full-pass and throttle functions, reducing the number of valves and saving space.
The third water pump 253 of the power plant drives the coolant to flow into the fourth heat exchanging part 342 and the sixth heat exchanger 37 in sequence, and then returns to the third water pump 253 for circulation. The coolant in the fourth heat exchanging portion 342 is heated by the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant in the third heat exchanging portion 341, and then enters the sixth heat exchanger 37, the sixth heat exchanger 37 heats the air introduced by the blower (not shown) in the air conditioning box 25, and the heated air enters the passenger compartment through the air damper of the air conditioning box 25 and the pipeline, thereby heating the passenger compartment. The sixth heat exchanger 37 and the second heat exchanger are both arranged in the air-conditioning box 25, and the arrangement of the two relatively independent heat exchangers is beneficial to reducing the defect that the heat management system brings cold and hot impact to the heat exchangers in the air-conditioning box 25 when heating and refrigerating are switched. The coolant loop may also include an electric heater 38, such as a PTC electric heater, which may be heated by the electric heater 38 to directly heat the coolant when the thermal management system 100 absorbs insufficient heat from the outside air or cannot absorb heat at a lower temperature, so as to heat the passenger compartment, and the electric heater 38 increases the temperature range of the thermal management system 100.

The first heat exchanger 21 may be used as a condenser to defrost or de-ice the surface of the first heat exchanger 21 through a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant in a cooling mode of the thermal management system. In the deicing mode or the defrosting mode, the refrigerant does not pass through the first heat exchanger 21, that is, the refrigerant circuit does not absorb heat in the air from the first heat exchanger 21, but absorbs heat from the motor unit of the power battery, the drive motor, or the compressor, or from the electric heater 38, and the difficulty of the first heat exchanger 21 being prone to frost at low temperatures may be reduced while recovering heat. In such a mode, the refrigerant may be implemented by a two-channel heat exchanger, a coolant flow channel of the two-channel heat exchanger is communicated with at least one of the fifth heat exchanger 40, the fourth heat exchanger 32 and the motor portion 13 of the compressor 10, and the refrigerant passing through the throttling device enters the refrigerant flow channel of the two-channel heat exchanger, so as to absorb heat in the coolant flow channel of the two-channel heat exchanger.
