TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power battery thermal management, and particularly relates to a multi-domain coupled thermal management system for electric vehicles based on transcritical CO2 cycle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The current electric vehicle thermal management system faces multiple technical challenges. First, the traditional refrigerant R134a faces environmental regulation restrictions due to high global warming potential (GWP), and new alternative refrigerants have application bottlenecks. Hydrofluoroalkene working fluids (such as R1234yf) have a risk of flammability; natural working fluid CO2 has environmental advantages of zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and extremely low GWP, but the transcritical cycle under dynamic working conditions of electric vehicles has not yet broken through the energy efficiency optimization, especially in low temperature environments, the heating energy consumption is high and the efficiency is low, resulting in insufficient heating capacity, which seriously affects the driving range. Secondly, the existing thermal management system mostly adopts a separate architecture, with the cabin air conditioner, battery temperature control and motor cooling subsystems running independently, which not only causes component redundancy, but also leads to low energy utilization efficiency. In low temperature environments, there is a competition for heat sources between battery preheating and cabin heating, and the comprehensive utilization rate of waste heat is insufficient. More importantly, the waste heat of the motor system is not effectively utilized, and the temperature level of the heat source is seriously mismatched with the demand grade of the heat utilization end, resulting in energy waste.
[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to design an electric vehicle thermal management system that can not only be compatible with environmentally friendly working fluids, but also realize multi-domain heat source coupling and energy grade matching, so as to break through the energy efficiency bottleneck and improve the driving performance of the whole vehicle.

[0083] The cooling process includes a first mode, a second mode, a third mode and a fourth mode;
[0084] As Figure 2As shown, regardless of whether the electric vehicle is parked, charging, or driving, if the temperature of the power battery exceeds its optimal temperature range, it automatically enters the first mode. The electronic control unit commands the electric compressor 7 to start. At this time, the four-way reversing valve 9 switches to the AB-CD connection position, the first three-way valve 1 switches to the BC-only connection position, the third three-way valve 5 switches to the AC-only connection position, the fourth three-way valve 10 switches to the BC-only connection position, the fifth three-way valve 11 switches to the AB-only connection position, the sixth three-way valve 16 switches to the BC-only connection position, and the seventh three-way valve 17 switches to the AC-only connection position. The coolant in the battery pack coolant circuit absorbs heat in the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14 under the drive of the first water pump 15 and then flows into the fourth heat exchanger 13, transferring the heat to the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 passes through the four-way reversing valve 9 and the third three-way valve 5 before entering the second heat exchanger 3, dissipating heat to the outside of the electric vehicle. It then passes through the first three-way valve 1, the third heat exchanger 8, the fifth three-way valve 11, and the fourth three-way valve 10 before entering the first electronic expansion valve 12 for depressurization and cooling. Subsequently, it enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 to absorb heat from the battery pack coolant. Afterward, it sequentially passes through the sixth three-way valve 16, the seventh three-way valve 17, the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 6 before returning to the electric compressor 7 for further compression, repeating this process. In the first mode, the heat from the power battery is transferred to the fourth heat exchanger 13 through the circulation of coolant in the battery pack coolant circuit, and then transported to the outside of the electric vehicle through the circulation of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, achieving rapid cooling of the power battery.
[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, if the occupants activate the passenger compartment cooling function, the system automatically enters the second mode. The electronic control unit commands the electric compressor 7 and blower 19 to start. At this time, the four-way reversing valve 9 switches to the AB-CD connection position, the first three-way valve 1 switches to the BC-only connection position, the third three-way valve 5 switches to the AC-only connection position, the fifth three-way valve 11 switches to the AC-only connection position, and the seventh three-way valve 17 switches to the AB-only connection position. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 passes through the four-way reversing valve 9 and the third three-way valve 5 and enters the second heat exchanger 3 to complete supercritical heat release. Subsequently, the refrigerant passes through the first three-way valve 1, the third heat exchanger 8, and the fifth three-way valve 11 and enters the second electronic expansion valve 18 to release pressure and cool down. Then, it enters the fifth heat exchanger 20 and the sixth heat exchanger 22 to absorb heat from the passenger compartment. Finally, it passes through the seventh three-way valve 17, the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 6 before returning to the electric compressor 7 for further compression, and this process is repeated. In the second mode, the heat from the passenger compartment is transferred to the outside of the electric vehicle through refrigerant circulation, thus cooling the passenger compartment.
[0086] like Figure 4As shown, if the temperature of the power battery is higher than its suitable temperature range and the occupant turns on the cooling function of the passenger compartment, the third mode is automatically entered, and the control unit commands the compressor, the blower 19 and the first water pump 15 to start. At this time, the four-way reversing valve 9 is switched to the AB connection and CD connection position, the first three-way valve 1 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the third three-way valve 5 is switched to the AC separate connection position, the fourth three-way valve 10 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the fifth three-way valve 11 is switched to the AB connection and AC connection position, the sixth three-way valve 16 is switched to the BC separate connection position, and the seventh three-way valve 17 is switched to the AB connection and AC separate connection position. The cooling liquid in the battery pack cooling liquid circuit flows into the fourth heat exchanger 13 after absorbing heat in the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14 under the driving of the first water pump 15. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 enters the second heat exchanger 3 after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9 and the third three-way valve 5, and dissipates heat to the outside of the electric vehicle. Then, the refrigerant is divided by the first three-way valve 1, the third heat exchanger 8 and the fifth three-way valve 11. Part of the refrigerant enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 after passing through the fourth three-way valve 10 and the first electronic expansion valve 12 to absorb the heat of the power battery in the battery pack. Another part of the refrigerant enters the second electronic expansion valve 18, then enters the fifth heat exchanger 20 and the sixth heat exchanger 22 to absorb the heat of the passenger compartment. Subsequently, the two parts of the refrigerant are merged by the seventh three-way valve 17, and then return to the electric compressor 7 by the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8 and the gas-liquid separator 6 to continue compression. Through the circulation of the refrigerant, the heat of the passenger compartment and the battery pack is transferred to the outside of the vehicle, and the cooling of the passenger compartment and the battery pack is simultaneously achieved.
[0087] As Figure 5As shown, if the temperature of the power battery and the temperature of the motor both exceed their respective suitable temperature ranges, and the occupant turns on the passenger cabin refrigeration function, the fourth mode is automatically entered, and the control unit commands the compressor, the air blower 19, the first water pump 15, and the second water pump 23 to start. At this time, the four-way reversing valve 9 is switched to the AB connection and CD connection position, the first three-way valve 1 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the second three-way valve 4 is switched to the AB separate connection position, the third three-way valve 5 is switched to the AC separate connection position, the fourth three-way valve 10 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the fifth three-way valve 11 is switched to the AB connection and AC connection position, the sixth three-way valve 16 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the seventh three-way valve 17 is switched to the AB connection and AC separate connection position, and the eighth three-way valve 25 is switched to the AB separate connection position. The cooling liquid in the battery pack cooling liquid circuit is driven by the first water pump 15 to absorb heat in the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14 and then flows into the fourth heat exchanger 13. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 enters the second heat exchanger 3 after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9 and the third three-way valve 5, and dissipates heat to the outside of the electric vehicle. Then, after passing through the first three-way valve 1, the third heat exchanger 8, and the fifth three-way valve 11, the refrigerant is divided into two parts. One part of the refrigerant enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 after passing through the fourth three-way valve 10 and the first electronic expansion valve 12 to absorb the heat of the power battery in the battery pack. The other part of the refrigerant enters the fifth heat exchanger 20 and the sixth heat exchanger 22 after passing through the second electronic expansion valve 18 to absorb the heat of the passenger cabin. Then, the two parts of the refrigerant are combined after passing through the seventh three-way valve 17, and then return to the compressor after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 6 to continue compression. At the same time, the motor cooling liquid absorbs the heat of the motor under the driving of the second water pump 23, and then dissipates to the outside of the vehicle through the first heat exchanger 2. Through the circulation of the refrigerant and the cooling liquid, the heat of the passenger cabin, the power battery, and the motor is transferred to the outside of the vehicle, and the cooling of them is simultaneously realized.
[0088] As Figure 6As shown, if the temperature of the power battery is lower than its suitable temperature range, it will automatically enter the fifth mode. The electronic control unit commands the electric compressor 7 and the first water pump 15 to start. At this time, the four-way reversing valve 9 switches to the AD connected and BC connected position, the first three-way valve 1 switches to the BC connected position, the third three-way valve 5 switches to the AC connected position, the fourth three-way valve 10 switches to the BC connected position, the fifth three-way valve 11 switches to the AB connected position, the sixth three-way valve 16 switches to the BC connected position, and the seventh three-way valve 17 switches to the AC connected position. The high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 passes through the four-way reversing valve 9, the seventh three-way valve 17, and the sixth three-way valve 16 before entering the fourth heat exchanger 13 to complete supercritical heat release, transferring heat to the battery pack coolant. Subsequently, the refrigerant passes sequentially through the first electronic expansion valve 12, the fourth three-way valve 10, the fifth three-way valve 11, the third heat exchanger 8, and the first three-way valve 1 before entering the second heat exchanger 3 to absorb heat from outside the electric vehicle. Then, it passes sequentially through the third three-way valve 5, the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 6 before returning to the electric compressor 7 for further compression, repeating this process. The coolant in the battery pack coolant circuit, driven by the first water pump 15, absorbs heat from the refrigerant in the fourth heat exchanger 13, and then transfers the heat to the battery pack via the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14. In the fifth mode, the heat outside the electric vehicle is transferred to the fourth heat exchanger 13 through the circulation of refrigerant. Then, through the circulation of battery pack coolant, the heat is transferred from the fourth heat exchanger 13 to the power battery in the battery pack, thus achieving the heating of the power battery.
[0089] like Figure 7 As shown, if the passenger compartment heating function is activated, the system automatically enters the sixth mode. The electronic control unit commands the electric compressor 7 and blower 19 to start. At this time, the four-way reversing valve 9 switches to the AD and BC connected position, the first three-way valve 1 switches to the BC connected position, the third three-way valve 5 switches to the AC connected position, the fifth three-way valve 11 switches to the AC connected position, and the seventh three-way valve 17 switches to the AB connected position. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor passes through the four-way reversing valve 9 and the seventh three-way valve 17 and enters the fifth heat exchanger 20 and the sixth heat exchanger 22 to complete supercritical heat release. Subsequently, the refrigerant passes through the second electronic expansion valve 18, the fifth three-way valve 11, the third heat exchanger 8, and the first three-way valve 1 and enters the second heat exchanger 3 to absorb heat from outside the vehicle. Then, it passes through the third three-way valve 5, the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 6 in sequence before returning to the compressor to continue compression, and so on. In this mode, the heat outside the electric vehicle is transferred to the passenger compartment through the circulation of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, thereby heating the passenger compartment.
[0090] like Figure 8As shown, if the temperature of the power battery is lower than its suitable temperature range and the heating function of the passenger cabin is turned on, the seventh mode is automatically entered. The electric control unit commands the electric compressor 7, the air blower 19 and the first water pump 15 to start, at this time the four-way reversing valve 9 is switched to the AD connection and BC connection position, the first three-way valve 1 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the third three-way valve 5 is switched to the AC separate connection position, the fourth three-way valve 10 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the fifth three-way valve 11 is switched to the AB connection and AC connection position, the sixth three-way valve 16 is switched to the BC separate connection position, and the seventh three-way valve 17 is switched to the AB connection and AC connection position. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 enters the seventh three-way valve 17 after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9, and a part of the refrigerant enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 to release heat, and then enters the fifth three-way valve 11 in turn through the first electronic expansion valve 12 and the fourth three-way valve 10. Another part of the refrigerant enters the sixth heat exchanger 22 and the fifth heat exchanger 20 to release heat to the passenger cabin, and then enters the fifth three-way valve 11 through the second electronic expansion valve 18, and then enters the second heat exchanger 3 through the third heat exchanger 8 and the first three-way valve 1 to absorb heat outside the electric vehicle, and then enters the electric compressor 7 in turn through the third three-way valve 5, the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8 and the gas-liquid separator 6 to continue compression, and so on. In the seventh mode, through the circulation of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, the heat outside the electric vehicle is transferred to the fourth heat exchanger 13 and the passenger cabin, respectively, and then through the circulation of the battery pack cooling liquid, the heat is transferred from the fourth heat exchanger 13 to the power battery of the battery pack, achieving the common heating of the power battery and the passenger cabin.
[0091] As Figure 9As shown, if the temperature of the power battery is lower than its suitable temperature range and the temperature of the motor is higher than its minimum temperature (for example, when the electric vehicle is cold started, the waste heat generated by the motor is used to heat the power battery), the eighth mode is automatically entered. The electronic control unit commands the electric compressor 7, the first water pump 15, and the second water pump 23 to start, at this time, all the ports in the first electronic expansion valve 12 are fully opened, the four-way reversing valve 9 is switched to the AB connection and CD connection position, the first three-way valve 1 is switched to the AC separate connection position, the second three-way valve 4 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the third three-way valve 5 is switched to the BC separate connection position, the fourth three-way valve 10 is switched to the AC separate connection position, the fifth three-way valve 11 is switched to the AC separate connection position, the sixth three-way valve 16 is switched to the AC separate connection position, the seventh three-way valve 17 is switched to the AB separate connection position, and the eighth three-way valve 25 is switched to the BC separate connection position. The cooling liquid in the motor cooling liquid circuit is driven by the second water pump 23 to absorb the heat of the motor, and then enters the sixth heat exchanger 22 to release heat after passing through the second three-way valve 4. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 to release heat after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9, the third three-way valve 5, the fourth three-way valve 10, and the first electronic expansion valve 12, and then enters the second electronic expansion valve 18 in sequence after passing through the sixth three-way valve 16, the first three-way valve 1, the third heat exchanger 8, and the fifth three-way valve 11 to release pressure and reduce temperature, and then enters the sixth heat exchanger 22 to absorb heat after passing through the fifth heat exchanger 20 (at this time, the air blower 19 is closed and does not exchange heat with air), and then enters the electric compressor 7 to continue compression after passing through the seventh three-way valve 17, the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 6. The cooling liquid in the battery pack cooling liquid circuit is driven by the first water pump 15 to absorb the heat of the refrigerant in the fourth heat exchanger 13, and then sends the heat to the power battery of the battery pack through the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14. In the eighth mode, the heat of the motor is transferred to the sixth heat exchanger 22 through the circulation of the cooling liquid in the motor cooling liquid circuit, and then transferred to the fourth heat exchanger 13 through the circulation of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, and then transferred to the power battery by the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14, realizing heating the power battery by the heat of the motor.
[0092] As Figure 10As shown, if the temperature of the power battery is lower than its suitable temperature range, the passenger compartment starts heating function, and the temperature of the motor is higher than its suitable temperature range, the ninth mode is automatically entered.

The cooling liquid in the motor cooling liquid circuit absorbs the heat of the motor, and then enters the sixth heat exchanger 22 under the driving of the second water pump 23 to transfer the heat to the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 is divided by the four-way reversing valve 9 and the seventh three-way valve 17, part of the refrigerant enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 by the sixth three-way valve 16 to release heat, and then enters the fifth three-way valve 11 in turn through the first electronic expansion valve 12 and the fourth three-way valve 10; the other part of the refrigerant enters the sixth heat exchanger 22 to absorb the heat of the motor cooling liquid and releases heat to the passenger compartment through the air blower 19, and then enters the fifth heat exchanger 20 to continue releasing heat to the passenger compartment, and then enters the fifth three-way valve 11 after being depressurized by the second electronic expansion valve 18, and then merges with the refrigerant flowing through the fourth heat exchanger 13, and then enters the second heat exchanger 3 through the third heat exchanger 8 and the first three-way valve 1 to absorb the heat outside the electric vehicle, and then enters the third heat exchanger 8 and the gas-liquid separator 6 in turn through the third three-way valve 5, the four-way reversing valve 9 and the third heat exchanger 8, and then returns to the electric compressor 7 to continue compression, and so on. The cooling liquid in the battery pack cooling liquid circuit absorbs the heat of the refrigerant in the fourth heat exchanger 13 under the driving of the first water pump 15, and then sends the heat to the power battery of the battery pack through the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14. In the ninth mode, the heat outside the electric vehicle is moved to the fourth heat exchanger 13 and the fifth heat exchanger 20 through the circulation of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, the heat of the motor is transferred to the air in the passenger compartment and the refrigerant through the sixth heat exchanger 22, the temperature of the refrigerant entering the fifth heat exchanger 20 is improved, and the air supply temperature of the passenger compartment is also improved.
[0093] As Figure 11As shown, if the temperature of the power battery is higher than the appropriate temperature range and the heating function of the passenger cabin is turned on, the tenth mode is automatically entered.

The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 enters the sixth heat exchanger 22 and the fifth heat exchanger 20 after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9 and the seventh three-way valve 17 to heat the passenger cabin. Then, the temperature is lowered by the second electronic expansion valve 18, and then enters the first three-way valve 1 after passing through the fifth three-way valve 11 and the third heat exchanger 8. Part of the refrigerant flows into the second heat exchanger 3 to absorb the heat outside the electric vehicle, and the other part of the refrigerant enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 after passing through the sixth three-way valve 16 to absorb the heat of the cooling liquid in the battery pack cooling liquid circuit. Then, after passing through the first electronic expansion valve 12 and the fourth three-way valve 10, the refrigerant is combined with the refrigerant flowing through the second heat exchanger 3 in the third three-way valve 5. Then, after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8 and the gas-liquid separator 6, the refrigerant returns to the electric compressor 7 for continuous compression. In the ninth mode, the heat of the power battery in the battery pack is transferred to the refrigerant, and then the heat of the electric vehicle outside and the heat of the power battery in the battery pack are moved to the passenger cabin, realizing the use of the waste heat of the power battery to heat the passenger cabin.
[0094] As Figure 12As shown, if the temperature of the power battery is higher than its suitable temperature range, the passenger compartment starts heating function, and the temperature of the motor is higher than its suitable temperature range, the eleventh mode is automatically entered.

The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor 7 enters the sixth heat exchanger 22 after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9 and the seventh three-way valve 17, absorbs the heat of the motor cooling liquid, then enters the fifth heat exchanger 20 to release heat, then is depressurized and cooled by the second electronic expansion valve 18, then enters the first three-way valve 1 after passing through the fifth three-way valve 11 and the third heat exchanger 8, and is divided into two parts, one part flows into the second heat exchanger 3 to absorb the heat outside the electric vehicle, and the other part enters the fourth heat exchanger 13 after passing through the sixth three-way valve 16 to absorb the heat of the battery pack liquid cooling plate 14, then passes through the first electronic expansion valve 12 and the fourth three-way valve 10, and is combined with the refrigerant flowing through the second heat exchanger 3 at the third three-way valve 5, then returns to the electric compressor 7 to continue compression after passing through the four-way reversing valve 9, the third heat exchanger 8, and the gas-liquid separator 6.
