Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Fig. 1 shows an electric vehicle thermal management system according to an embodiment of the present application, which includes an air conditioning system, a battery system, and a motor system, wherein a coolant loop of the battery system exchanges heat with a refrigerant loop of the air conditioning system through a battery cooler 11, and the coolant loop of the battery system is connected or disconnected in series with the coolant loop of the motor system through a first four-way valve 18.

Wherein the thin line part is a refrigerant circuit of the air conditioning system. The thick line part is a cooling liquid loop including a cooling liquid loop of the battery system and a cooling liquid loop of the motor system. The dashed line partially communicates the coolant circuit with the auxiliary tank 27 for stabilizing the system pressure, venting the gas in the system, and balancing the water in the system.

The cooling liquid loop of the battery system can exchange heat with the refrigerant loop of the air conditioning system through the battery cooler 11 to realize functions such as battery heating or cooling. The first four-way valve 18 can adjust the connection state according to the current working mode of the electric vehicle thermal management system, so that the cooling liquid loop of the battery system and the cooling liquid loop of the motor system are connected in series or disconnected.

When the cooling liquid loop of the battery system is connected in series and communicated with the cooling liquid loop of the motor system through the first four-way valve 18, the cooling liquid in the loop firstly passes through the battery system, then passes through the motor system, and finally returns to the battery system, and the circulation is performed, so that the heat exchange between the motor system and the battery system can be realized, and the heat energy transfer between the systems is realized.

When the coolant circuit of the battery system is disconnected from the coolant circuit of the motor system by the first four-way valve 18, the coolant circuit of the battery system and the coolant circuit of the motor system are independent of each other.

Therefore, the electric automobile heat management system provided by the embodiment of the application comprises an air conditioning system, a battery system and a motor system, wherein a cooling liquid loop of the battery system exchanges heat with a refrigerant loop of the air conditioning system through a battery cooler, and the cooling liquid loop of the battery system is connected or disconnected in series with the cooling liquid loop of the motor system through a first four-way valve, so that the air conditioning system, the battery system and the motor system can be highly integrated together, waste heat in the system is fully utilized, the temperature regulation effect is improved, the consumption of the electric automobile heat management system on battery energy is reduced, and the vehicle endurance mileage is improved.

The motor radiator 25 in the motor radiator branch is used for transferring waste heat in the system to the outside of the vehicle. For example, the coolant circuit of the battery system is disconnected from the coolant circuit of the motor system by the first four-way valve 18, and the coolant in the coolant circuit of the motor system passes through the motor radiator 25, so that the waste heat in the motor system is transferred to the outside of the vehicle by the motor radiator 25.

The bypass branch is used for recovering waste heat in the motor system. For example, the coolant loop of the battery system is connected in series with the coolant loop of the electric machine system through the first four-way valve 18, and the coolant in the coolant loop of the electric machine system flows to the battery system through the bypass branch, so that the waste heat in the electric machine system is transferred to the battery system through the bypass branch to heat the battery, or the heat source of the air conditioning system is increased through the battery cooler 11.

Therefore, by arranging the first three-way valve 24 and the bypass branch in the cooling liquid loop of the motor system, waste heat in the system can be transferred to the outside of the vehicle through the motor radiator branch, or the waste heat in the motor system can be recycled by the battery system and the air conditioning system through the bypass branch, so that the heat exchange efficiency of the system is guaranteed to be improved, and the temperature adjusting effect is effectively improved.

In one implementation, the coolant loop of the battery system includes a battery cooler branch and a battery heater branch, the battery cooler branch includes a second three-way valve 15, a battery cooler 11 and a battery 17 that are sequentially communicated, and the battery heater branch includes the second three-way valve 15, a battery heater 16 and the battery 17 that are sequentially communicated.

Thus, by providing the second three-way valve 15 in the coolant circuit of the battery system, the battery heater 16 is connected in parallel with the battery cooler 11, and when the battery needs to be cooled, the coolant passes only through the battery cooler 11, and when the battery needs to be heated, the coolant passes only through the battery heater 16. Compare in with battery heater and battery cooler series connection, this application embodiment can effectively avoid no matter for battery cooling or heating, the coolant liquid all need through the problem of the calorific loss that battery heater and battery cooler leaded to, improves system heat exchange efficiency, promotes temperature regulation effect, reduces simultaneously the flow resistance of battery system's coolant liquid return circuit improves battery system's maximum flow can also avoid in addition because the great battery water pump operating noise that arouses of flow resistance is big, the vibration noise problem that the vibration leads to greatly.

The passenger compartment heating and dehumidifying functions can be realized through the refrigerant loop.

Considering that under the low-temperature working condition, the air conditioning system is difficult to absorb heat energy from ambient air, the efficiency is low, and the energy consumption is large. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, in the motor-assisted air-conditioning heating mode, waste heat of the motor system is recycled to the battery cooler through the bypass branch, and is used as an auxiliary heat source for heating of the air-conditioning system, so that the heating capacity of the air-conditioning system is increased; on the other hand, the battery cooler enables the refrigerant loop and the cooling liquid loop to exchange heat, so that the heat transfer temperature difference can be effectively reduced, the low-pressure is improved, and the energy efficiency of the air conditioning system is improved, so that the consumption of the air conditioning heating process on the energy of the battery is reduced, the energy is saved, the environment is protected, and the cruising mileage of the vehicle is improved.

Under the super quick-charging working condition, the heat productivity of the battery is large, and the external environment temperature is lower than the battery temperature and can provide passive cooling for the battery, so that high-temperature cooling liquid in the battery system firstly dissipates heat through the motor radiator branch in the motor system and then flows into the battery cooler 11, and is continuously cooled to the target water temperature by using a refrigerant to cool the battery.

As shown in fig. 2, a schematic flow chart of a control method 100 according to an embodiment of the present application may be performed by an electronic device, which may be a vehicle, such as but not limited to an electric vehicle thermal management system as shown in fig. 1.

For example, if the travel time reserved by the user is 7 am, the vehicle may be controlled to start charging one hour before 7 am, that is, at 6 am, so that the temperature of the battery gradually rises to the target temperature during the charging process. Wherein the target temperature is a temperature at which the battery has optimal performance.

It will be appreciated that in actual use, the vehicle will be in a chargeable condition. For example, after the user finishes using the vehicle, the user connects the charging gun with the charging interface of the vehicle battery to charge the vehicle battery. At this time, the vehicle battery starts to be charged until the charging is stopped after the target electric quantity. Subsequently, before the user's scheduled travel time, the vehicle battery is controlled to start charging again so that the battery reaches the target temperature.
