In the auxiliary system, the third heat exchanger 13 is an evaporator, and the fourth heat exchanger 14 is a condenser. The refrigerant circulating in the first heat exchange part 111 can absorb the heat of the coolant circulating in the second heat exchange part 112, and the refrigerant circulating in the third heat exchange part 131 can absorb the heat of the coolant circulating in the fourth heat exchange part 132; the battery heat exchange component 41 is connected to the second heat exchange part 112 and the fourth heat exchange part 132, so that the battery can simultaneously exchange heat with the coolant in the main and auxiliary coolant systems, that is, the first heat exchange part 111 and the third heat exchange part 131 can absorb the heat of the battery at the same time, and then the heat of the battery can be quickly dissipated.
[0072] When there is a need for cooling in the passenger compartment, the thermal management system can start the cooling mode, which includes the first cooling mode and the second cooling mode. When both the passenger compartment and the battery have cooling needs, and the main system is sufficient to meet the cooling needs of the battery, the thermal management system can start the first cooling mode. When both the passenger compartment and the battery have cooling needs, and the battery has a rapid cooling need, and the main system is insufficient to meet the cooling needs of the battery, the thermal management system can start the second cooling mode.

The second compressor 22 is in the non-working state. The first cooling mode is different from the battery rapid heat dissipation mode in that: in the first cooling mode, the second compressor 22 is not in operation, and the auxiliary system is not circulated; in the main refrigerant system, the second heat exchange part 812 is connected to the first port 31a of the first throttling device, and the second heat exchange part 812 is connected to the third throttling device 33, that is, the refrigerant flowing out of the second heat exchange part 812 is divided into two paths, one path flows to the first throttling device 31 and the first heat exchange part 111 in sequence, and the other path flows to the third throttling device 33, the ninth heat exchanger 181, the fourth throttling device 34 and the eighth heat exchanger 18 in sequence, and the refrigerant flowing out of the first heat exchange part 111 merges with the refrigerant flowing out of the eighth heat exchanger 18 and flows to the tenth interface 63c together. The connection between other components in the first cooling mode is the same as that in the battery rapid heat dissipation mode.
[0074] In the first cooling mode, the third sub-heat exchanger 121, the fourth sub-heat exchanger 122 and the fifth sub-heat exchanger 123 are condensers, and the first heat exchanger 11, the ninth heat exchanger 181 and the eighth heat exchanger 18 are evaporators. The auxiliary system does not operate. The ninth heat exchanger 181 and the eighth heat exchanger 18 absorb the heat of the air in the passenger compartment to achieve a cooling effect. The refrigerant in the first heat exchange part 111 can absorb the heat of the coolant circulating in the second heat exchange part 112. The second heat exchange part 112 is connected to the battery heat exchange assembly 41, so that the heat of the battery can be dissipated through the coolant circulating in the second heat exchange part 112.
[0075] The difference between the second refrigeration mode and the first refrigeration mode is that in the second refrigeration mode, the second compressor 22 is in operation. Figure 3In the second cooling mode, the circulation path of the auxiliary refrigerant system is: the outlet of the second compressor 22 is connected to the first port 172a of the eighth heat exchange part, the second port 172b of the eighth heat exchange part is connected to the first port 141a of the fifth heat exchange part, the second port 141b of the fifth heat exchange part is connected to the first port 32a of the second throttling device, the second port 32b of the second throttling device is connected to the third heat exchange part 131, and the third heat exchange part 131 is connected to the inlet of the second compressor 22.

The ninth heat exchanger 181 and the eighth heat exchanger 18 absorb the heat of the air in the passenger compartment to achieve a cooling effect. In the auxiliary system, the third heat exchanger 13 is an evaporator and the fourth heat exchanger 14 is a condenser. The refrigerant circulating in the first heat exchange part 111 can absorb the heat of the coolant circulating in the second heat exchange part 112, and the refrigerant circulating in the third heat exchange part 131 can absorb the heat of the coolant circulating in the fourth heat exchange part 132. The battery heat exchange assembly 41 is connected to the second heat exchange part 112 and the fourth heat exchange part 132, so that the battery can simultaneously exchange heat with the coolant in the main and auxiliary coolant systems, that is, the first heat exchange part 111 and the third heat exchange part 131 can simultaneously absorb the heat of the battery, and then the heat of the battery can be quickly dissipated.
[0077] When there is a need to heat the passenger compartment, the thermal management system can activate the heating mode. Figure 4In the heating mode, the first throttling device 31 is in the cut-off state, the third throttling device 33 is in the throttling state, the fourth throttling device 34 is in the full-pass state, the third flow path switching device 63 is in the fourth working state, the sixteenth interface 65a of the fifth flow path switching device 65 is connected with the seventeenth interface 65b, the sixteenth interface 65a is not connected with the eighteenth interface 65c, the first pump 51 is turned off, the second pump 52 is turned off, the fourth pump 54 is turned off, and the fifth pump 55 is turned on.

The first port a of the cooling device 23 is connected to the second port 122b of the fourth sub-heat exchanger, the second port 121b of the third sub-heat exchanger is connected to the ninth heat exchange part 191, the second port 122b of the fourth sub-heat exchanger is connected to the ninth heat exchange part 191, the ninth heat exchange part 191 is connected to the eighth interface 63a, the eighth interface 63a is connected to the eleventh interface 63d, the eleventh interface 63d is connected to the gas-liquid separator 71, the gas-liquid separator 71 is connected to the first heat exchange part 811, and the first heat exchange part 811 is connected to the inlet of the first compressor 22. The circulation path of the main coolant system is: the motor heat exchange component 42, the tenth heat exchange part 192, the second branch e and the fifth pump 55 are connected to form a loop. The second compressor 22 is in an inoperative state, and the auxiliary system is not running.
[0078] In the heating mode, the third sub-heat exchanger 121, the fourth sub-heat exchanger 122 and the fifth sub-heat exchanger 123 are evaporators, and the eighth heat exchanger 18 and the ninth heat exchanger 181 are condensers. The ninth heat exchanger 181 and the eighth heat exchanger 18 release heat into the passenger compartment to achieve a heating effect.
[0079] In winter, when the ambient temperature is low and the temperature inside the passenger compartment is high, the temperature inside the passenger compartment differs greatly from the ambient temperature outside the vehicle, and water mist or water droplets will condense on the windows, affecting the vision and posing a safety hazard when driving. The thermal management system of this embodiment has a heating and dehumidification mode. Figure 5, the connection relationship of each component in the main refrigerant system in the heating and dehumidification mode is the same as that in the heating mode, and the difference between the heating and dehumidification mode and the heating mode is that: in the heating and dehumidification mode, the third throttling device 33 is in a full-pass state, the fourth throttling device 34 is in a throttling state, the sixteenth interface 65a of the fifth flow path switching device 65 is connected to the eighteenth interface 65c, and the sixteenth interface 65a is not connected to the seventeenth interface 65b. In the heating and dehumidification mode, the first throttling device 31 is in a cut-off state, the third throttling device 33 is in a full-pass state, the fourth throttling device 34 is in a throttling state, the third flow path switching device 63 is in a fourth working state, the sixteenth interface 65a of the fifth flow path switching device 65 is connected to the eighteenth interface 65c, and the sixteenth interface 65a is not connected to the seventeenth interface 65b, and the circulation path of the main coolant system is: the motor heat exchange component 42, the tenth heat exchange part 192, the sixth heat exchanger 16, the seventh heat exchange part 171 and the fifth pump 55 are connected to form a loop. The second compressor 22 is in an inoperative state, and the auxiliary system is not operating.
[0080] In the heating and dehumidification mode, the eighth heat exchanger 18 is a condenser, and the third sub-heat exchanger 121, the fourth sub-heat exchanger 122, the fifth sub-heat exchanger 123 and the ninth heat exchanger 181 are evaporators. The air in the passenger compartment first passes through the ninth heat exchanger 181, and the refrigerant in the ninth heat exchanger 181 absorbs the heat of the air in the passenger compartment. The moisture in the air in the air-conditioning box of the passenger compartment condenses into water droplets in the air-conditioning box and then is discharged, thereby reducing the humidity of the air entering the passenger compartment; thereafter, the air in the passenger compartment with reduced humidity is dissipated through the eighth heat exchanger 18 as a condenser, and the refrigerant in the eighth heat exchanger 18 releases heat to the air in the passenger compartment, so that the air passing through the eighth heat exchanger 18 is heated up, thereby achieving the effect of heating and dehumidification in winter.
[0081] When the ambient temperature is low in winter, the thermal management system is in heating mode for a long time, and the third sub-heat exchanger 121, the fourth sub-heat exchanger 122 and the fifth sub-heat exchanger 123 as evaporators will produce frost. At this time, the thermal management system can start the defrost mode. Figure 6In the defrost mode, the first throttling device 31 is in a throttling state, the third throttling device 33 is in a cut-off state, the third flow path switching device 63 is in a third working state, the fourth flow path switching device 64 is in a sixth working state, the sixteenth interface 65a of the fifth flow path switching device 65 is connected to the seventeenth interface 65b, the sixteenth interface 65a is not connected to the eighteenth interface 65c, the first pump 51 is turned on, the second pump 52 is turned off, the fourth pump 54 is turned off, and the fifth pump 55 is turned on. The second compressor 22 is in an inoperative state, and the auxiliary system is not running. The connectivity relationship of the components in the main refrigerant system is the same as the connectivity relationship of the components in the battery rapid heat dissipation mode. I will not go into details here. In the main coolant system, the motor heat exchange assembly 42, the tenth heat exchange part 192, the second branch e, the second heat exchange part 112, the fifth pump 55 and the battery heat exchange assembly 41 are connected in sequence to form a loop.
[0082] In the defrosting mode, the third sub-heat exchanger 121, the fourth sub-heat exchanger 122 and the fifth sub-heat exchanger 123 act as condensers, the first heat exchanger 11 acts as an evaporator, and the first heat exchange part 111 and the second heat exchange part 112 can exchange heat. The refrigerant in the third sub-heat exchanger 121, the fourth sub-heat exchanger 122 and the fifth sub-heat exchanger 123 can release heat to the air, which is beneficial to the defrosting of the third sub-heat exchanger 121, the fourth sub-heat exchanger 122 and the fifth sub-heat exchanger 123. Since the motor heat exchange component 42, the battery heat exchange component 41 and the second heat exchange component 112 are connected to form a loop, the refrigerant circulating in the first heat exchange part 111 can absorb the heat of the motor heat exchange component 42 and the battery heat exchange component 41, so that the heat of the motor heat exchange component 42 and the battery heat exchange component 41 can be recycled.
[0083] According to another specific embodiment of the thermal management system of the present application, refer to Figure 8As shown, its structure is basically the same as that of the above embodiment, and its working principle is also roughly the same as that of the above embodiment, the difference is that: the thermal management system includes a third pump 53; the third pump 53, the battery heat exchange component 41, the fourth heat exchange part 132 and the second heat exchange part 112 can be connected in sequence to form a loop; the thermal management system includes a first branch c, the first branch c is connected in parallel with the fourth heat exchange part 132, the battery heat exchange component 41, the second heat exchange part 112, the third pump 53 and the first branch c can be connected to form a loop; the thermal management system includes a first flow The first flow path switching device 61 includes a first interface 61a, a second interface 61b and a third interface 61c.
