[0019] Example: Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model provides a temperature alternation and pressure pulse testing device suitable for a heat exchange system of a new energy vehicle, comprising a supporting frame 0, a hot water tank 1 being provided on the supporting frame 0, a transition water tank 2 being connected to the supporting frame 0, a cold water tank 3 being connected to the supporting frame 0, an electric box 10 being provided on the supporting frame 0, a water pump 20 being fixedly provided on the upper surface of the supporting frame 0, and a pipe being connected to the water pump 20, and the pipe being connected to the hot water tank 1, the transition water tank 2 and the cold water tank 3 respectively, a first proportional valve 4 being provided on the outer surface of the pipe close to the hot water tank 1, a second proportional valve 5 being provided on the outer surface of the pipe close to the transition water tank 2, and a third proportional valve 6 being provided on the outer surface of the pipe close to the cold water tank 3, a water outlet 23 being provided on the end of the pipe away from the cold water tank 3, a return water port 22 being provided on the end of the pipe away from the transition water tank 2, and a water outlet 23 being provided on the end of the pipe away from the hot water tank 1, A second flow sensor 18 is connected to the outer surface of the pipe near the electrical box 10, a first pressure sensor 14 and a second pressure sensor 15 are connected to the outer surface of the pipe near the electrical box 10, a third pressure sensor 16 and a fourth pressure sensor 17 are connected to the outer surface of the pipe near the water pump 20, a first flow sensor 9 and a third flow sensor 19 are connected to the middle of the pipe, a fourth proportional valve 11 is provided on the outer surface of the pipe below the third proportional valve 6, a fifth proportional valve 12 is provided on the outer surface of the pipe below the second proportional valve 5, and a sixth proportional valve 13 is provided on the outer surface of the pipe below the first proportional valve 4. 1. High and low temperature coolant is provided to the hot water tank 1 and the cold water tank 3 through the water supply port 8 by an external heat source (such as a heating wire) and an external cold source (such as a chiller, a compressor), and the liquid is automatically replenished through the liquid level sensor and the float switch in the water tank, and the liquid level is manually observed through the liquid level window 7 to see if it is abnormal;

[0020] 2. During the test, if high-temperature liquid circulation is performed, the first proportional valve 4 and the sixth proportional valve 13 are opened, and the water pump 20 draws water from the hot water tank 1 through the pipeline and forms a product through the water inlet 21, the return water outlet 22, and the water outlet 23. The coolant in the water tank circulates, and the power of the water pump 20 is controlled by the valve size of the two-stage proportional valve and the multi-stage manual valve in the pipeline in combination with the frequency converter to achieve the purpose of controlling the flow rate and pressure of the coolant in the liquid circulation system;

[0021] 3. When the coolant temperature needs to be quickly switched, the first proportional valve 4 and the sixth proportional valve 13 are closed, and the second proportional valve 5 and the fifth proportional valve 12 are opened, so that the high-temperature coolant in the pipeline is sent to the transition water tank by the water pump 20 to avoid the mixing of liquids in the cold water tank 3 and the hot water tank 1, which may cause the temperature to be unstable;

[0022] 4. After calibrating the switching time, close the second proportional valve 5 and the fifth proportional valve 12, and open the third proportional valve 6 and the fourth proportional valve 11. The cold water tank 3 is used as the coolant supply to form a liquid circulation between the product. When it is necessary to switch back to high-temperature coolant, the principle is the same as low-temperature switching, and repeat steps 3 and 2;

[0023] 5. When a pressure pulse change test is required, coolant is supplied from the hot water tank 1. The product is placed in the environmental chamber and connected to the water inlet 21, return port 22, and outlet 23 through the cable holes. Pressure sensors 14 & 17 monitor the pressure at both ends of the product in real time and transmit the analog value to the data acquisition card. The PC uses the pressure at both ends of the product to provide a judgment basis for the proportional valve 4 & 13 and water pump 20. The water pump 20 uses the inverter to perform sinusoidal / pulse power changes. The proportional valve 4 & 13 maintains a stable flow rate by opening and closing the valve, and the PC generates a test curve.

[0024] The sides of the cold water tank 3 and the hot water tank 1 are both provided with liquid level windows 7 for easy observation.

The upper surfaces of the hot water tank 1, the transition water tank 2 and the cold water tank 3 are all fixed with handles 24 to facilitate the movement of the tanks. The lower surface of the support frame 0 is provided with four universal wheels 25. The universal wheels 25 are arranged in an array on the lower surface of the support frame 0 to assist in the movement of the equipment. The cross-sectional shape of the support frame 0 is "L"-shaped.

[0025] Working principle: 1. An external heat source (such as a heating wire) and an external cold source (such as a chiller, a compressor) provide high and low temperature coolant to the hot water tank 1 and the cold water tank 3 through the water supply port 8. The liquid is automatically replenished through the liquid level sensor and float switch in the water tank, and the liquid level is manually observed through the liquid level window 7 to see if it is abnormal;

[0026] 2. During the test, if high-temperature liquid circulation is performed, the first proportional valve 4 and the sixth proportional valve 13 are opened, and the water pump 20 draws water from the hot water tank 1 through the pipeline and forms a product through the water inlet 21, the return water outlet 22, and the water outlet 23. The coolant in the water tank circulates, and the power of the water pump 20 is controlled by the valve size of the two-stage proportional valve and the multi-stage manual valve in the pipeline in combination with the frequency converter to achieve the purpose of controlling the flow rate and pressure of the coolant in the liquid circulation system;

[0027] 3. When the coolant temperature needs to be quickly switched, the first proportional valve 4 and the sixth proportional valve 13 are closed, and the second proportional valve 5 and the fifth proportional valve 12 are opened, so that the high-temperature coolant in the pipeline is sent to the transition water tank by the water pump 20 to avoid the mixing of liquids in the cold water tank 3 and the hot water tank 1, which may cause the temperature to be unstable;

[0028] 4. After calibrating the switching time, close the second proportional valve 5 and the fifth proportional valve 12, and open the third proportional valve 6 and the fourth proportional valve 11. The cold water tank 3 is used as the coolant supply to form a liquid circulation between the product. When it is necessary to switch back to high-temperature coolant, the principle is the same as low-temperature switching, and repeat steps 3 and 2;

[0029] 5. When a pressure pulse change test is required, coolant is fixedly supplied from the hot water tank 1, the product is placed in the environmental chamber, and the water inlet 21, return port 22, and outlet 23 are connected through the wire holes. The 14&17-pressure sensors monitor the pressure at both ends of the product in real time and transmit the analog value to the data acquisition card. The PC uses the pressure at both ends of the product to provide a judgment basis for the 4&13-proportional valve and water pump 20, so that the water pump 20 can perform sinusoidal / pulse power changes through the inverter. The 4&13-proportional valve maintains a stable flow rate by opening and closing the valve, and the test curve is generated by the PC.

[0030] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
