Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal management of a charging and battery swapping station, and specifically provides a charging and battery swapping station, a thermal management system for the charging and battery swapping station, a control method for the thermal management system of the charging and battery swapping station, a control device, and a computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the automobile industry, and along with energy and the environment becoming a focus of attention on a global scale, new energy vehicles have been widely popularized. Taking electric vehicles in new energy vehicles as an example, the electric vehicles mainly use power batteries as power sources. Unlike traditional fuel vehicles, power batteries need to be recharged. For example, the power battery recharging methods mainly include charging (charging mainly includes fast charging (30 min at the fastest) and slow charging (6-7 h)) and directly replacing a power battery with a low power level with a power battery with a full power level (battery swapping). A charging and battery swapping station is a recharging mechanism that can provide charging and battery swapping services for electric vehicles.

[0003] Specifically, for battery swapping services, it is difficult to provide direct battery swapping services for all brands of electric vehicles, so charging services are added on the basis of battery swapping services. For example, in a charging and battery swapping station that includes battery swapping services and charging services, a high-power (180 kW or more) charging pile is configured, thereby forming a charging and battery swapping integrated service form to maximize the recharging needs of electric vehicles.

[0004] With the increase in the number of electric vehicles, the service scale of the charging and battery swapping station is gradually increasing, and the high-power charging recharging effect is achieved. The charging frame for recharging the power battery for battery swapping services and the charging pile for recharging the electric vehicle for charging services need to be in a working state for a long time, and therefore the related components in the charging and battery swapping station need to be thermally managed.

[0005] Accordingly, there is a need in the art to solve the above problems with a new technical solution. SUMMARY

[0006] Technical problem

[0007] In order to at least partially solve the above technical problems, and in order to at least partially solve the technical problem of thermally managing the related components in the charging and battery swapping station, the present application is proposed.

[0008] Technical scheme

[0009] In view of the above, the first aspect of the present application provides a heat management system for a charging and swapping station, the charging and swapping station comprising a charging module, a power battery part and a charging terminal, wherein the charging module is electrically connected with the power battery part and the charging terminal, thereby providing electric energy for the power battery part and the charging terminal, the power battery part is capable of providing power compensation service for the power battery received thereby, and the charging terminal is capable of being electrically connected with an electric vehicle arriving at the station, thereby providing power compensation service for the power battery arranged on the electric vehicle, the heat management system comprising: a heat pump unit comprising a compressor, a condenser, a throttling component and an evaporator forming a refrigerant circulation loop; a first liquid cooling unit comprising the charging module and the evaporator forming a first cooling liquid circulation loop; a second liquid cooling unit comprising the power battery part and the evaporator forming a second cooling liquid circulation loop; and a third liquid cooling unit comprising the charging terminal and the evaporator forming a third cooling liquid circulation loop; wherein the first liquid cooling unit and / or the third liquid cooling unit is capable of communicating with the second liquid cooling unit, so as to transfer the heat recovered by the first liquid cooling unit and / or the third liquid cooling unit to the power battery part.

[0010] Through such a configuration, heat management of the charging and swapping station can be achieved by means of liquid cooling.

[0011] The working principle of the heat pump unit is that, as the refrigerant circulates in the loop formed by the compressor-condenser-throttling component-evaporator-compressor, the available cold quantity can be provided on the surface of the evaporator (the surface of the condenser provides available heat), and the throttling component can be a capillary tube, an electronic expansion valve, etc. In the present application, during the heat management of the charging and swapping station, the cold quantity provided by the surface of the evaporator is mainly used.

[0012] Specifically, among the components related to heat in the charging and swapping station, the power battery needs to be constantly in a set temperature range, and therefore there can be two needs of heat supply and heat recovery; the charging terminal (such as a charging pile, etc.) can generate heat inside due to large current during the charging process, and therefore there is a need of heat recovery; the charging module can also have a need of heat recovery due to large current during the power supply for the power battery, similar to the charging terminal.

[0013] In view of the above, the present application first introduces a heat pump unit, and on this basis, three liquid cooling units corresponding to the aforementioned components exchange heat with the evaporator to release cold quantity, thereby achieving heat recovery. Under this premise, as mentioned above, the electric battery can also have a need of heat supply, and therefore a heating component is arranged for the second liquid cooling unit, so as to ensure that the power battery can be constantly in a temperature range matching its performance.

[0014] It can be understood that the specific form of the first / third liquid cooling unit and the communication mode thereof with the second liquid cooling unit can be determined by the person skilled in the art according to actual needs.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0144] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present application, numerous specific details are given in the following detailed description, and those skilled in the art should understand that the present application can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, the working principle of charging and battery replacement is not described in detail, so as to highlight the main idea of the present application.

[0145] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 The principle of the heat management system for the charging and battery replacement station in the summer application scenario is shown Figure 1 , Figure 2 The principle of the heat management system for the charging and battery replacement station in the summer application scenario is shown Figure 2 , Figure 3 The principle of the heat management system for the charging and battery replacement station in the winter application scenario is shown Figure 1 , Figure 4 The principle of the heat management system for the charging and battery replacement station in the winter application scenario is shown Figure 2 . As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the charging and battery replacement station mainly includes a charging module (a liquid-cooled charging module), a power battery part (a liquid-cooled power battery part, such as a battery compartment capable of accommodating multiple power batteries) corresponding to the battery replacement service, and a charging terminal (such as including multiple charging piles) corresponding to the charging service, wherein the charging module is electrically connected with the power battery part and the charging terminal, thereby providing electric energy for the power battery part and the charging terminal. The power battery part can accommodate multiple power batteries and can provide power compensation service for the corresponding power battery (a depleted battery replaced from an electric vehicle). After the electric vehicle needing charging drives to the charging position in the station, the charging terminal can be inserted into the charging port of the electric vehicle, thereby providing power compensation service for the power battery configured on the electric vehicle (without removing the depleted battery from the electric vehicle).

[0146] Preferably, the charging and battery replacement station further includes a station air conditioning system, which is mainly used for adjusting the temperature of the environment (station space) of the charging and battery replacement station. In one possible embodiment, the present application further includes a station air conditioning system associated with the heat management system, and a simple form of the station air conditioning system is a pipe group similar to a heating radiator, thereby adjusting the ambient temperature of the station space by heat exchange between the cooling liquid flowing through the pipe group and the air in the station space.

[0147] In general cases, a battery replacement platform, a battery replacement trolley, etc. are also configured in the charging and battery replacement station, which are mainly used to support the aforementioned battery replacement service, and the operations related to the battery replacement platform, the battery replacement trolley, etc. include removing (unloading) the depleted battery from the electric vehicle, transferring the unloaded depleted battery to the charging compartment, removing the full battery after power compensation from the charging compartment, installing the full battery to the electric vehicle (loading), etc.

[0148] The present application also includes a heat management system, which mainly comprises a heat pump unit and a liquid cooling unit group, the heat pump unit comprises a compressor, a condenser, a throttling component (electronic expansion valve) and an evaporator forming a refrigerant circulation loop, wherein the evaporator capable of releasing cold energy is associated with the liquid cooling unit group to achieve heat management in the charging and swapping station. In addition, a pressure gauge and a dryer (between the condenser and the evaporator) are also provided on the heat pump unit, which can continuously take away the heat of the high-temperature cooling liquid when the heat pump unit is in operation, thereby ensuring the low-temperature quality of the cooling liquid. As in the present example, a dryer is additionally provided between the evaporator and the condenser, and a pressure gauge 1 and a pressure gauge 2 are respectively provided between the compressor and the condenser and between the evaporator and the compressor.

[0149] In a possible implementation, the liquid cooling unit group mainly comprises four liquid cooling units, respectively denoted as a first liquid cooling unit, a second liquid cooling unit, a third liquid cooling unit and a fourth liquid cooling unit, wherein the first liquid cooling unit is mainly used to recover the heat of the charging module and supplement the heat of the power battery and the in-station air conditioning system when needed, the second liquid cooling unit is mainly used to recover the heat of the power battery or supplement the heat of the power battery, the third liquid cooling unit is mainly used to recover the heat of the charging pile and supplement the heat of the power battery and the in-station air conditioning system when needed, and the fourth liquid cooling unit is mainly used to provide cold energy or heat to the in-station air conditioning system.

[0150] In the (current) general case, the power battery must be constantly maintained within a specified temperature range during the energy supplementing of the power battery corresponding to the battery swapping part. Accordingly, the present application also configures a special heating component in the second liquid cooling unit to support this requirement of the power battery. The aforementioned "the second liquid cooling unit is mainly used to recover the heat of the power battery or supplement the heat of the power battery" has the ability to supplement the heat of the power battery due to the configuration of the heating component.

[0151] In this way, when the ambient temperature of the charging station exceeds the set target temperature (for example, the target temperature is set to a temperature determined with reference to the temperature range of the power battery, such as 25°C), the heat pump system is operated in a refrigeration cycle (the evaporator at this time can release cold energy). In this way, the low-temperature cooling liquid can be released to the power battery, the charging module, the charging terminal, and the station air conditioning system. Specifically, by releasing the cooling liquid to the power battery and controlling the temperature and flow of the cooling liquid, the temperature of the power battery is ensured to be always within the specified temperature range (second liquid cooling unit). At the same time, by releasing the cooling liquid to the charging module, the large amount of heat generated in the process of electric energy conversion of the charging module is taken away, and the low-temperature property of the cooling liquid is ensured by heat exchange with the evaporator of the heat pump unit (first liquid cooling unit). In addition, by releasing the cooling liquid to the charging terminal, the large amount of heat generated in the process of electric energy conversion of the charging terminal is taken away, and the low-temperature property of the cooling liquid is ensured by heat exchange with the evaporator of the heat pump unit (third liquid cooling unit). In addition, by releasing the cooling liquid to the station air conditioning system, the station space of the charging station is cooled to ensure that the ambient temperature of the station space is within the range of comfortable feeling (fourth liquid cooling unit).

[0152] In this way, when the ambient temperature of the charging station is lower than the set target temperature (for example, the target temperature is still set to a temperature determined with reference to the temperature range of the power battery, such as 25°C), the heat pump system is not operated in a refrigeration cycle (the evaporator at this time is only used as a pipeline for the flow of cooling liquid for waste heat exchange). At this time, the waste heat recovered from the charging module and the charging terminal can be fully utilized. After the cooling liquid in the thermal management system first flows through the charging module and the charging terminal, the heat generated in the charging module (first liquid cooling unit) and the charging terminal (third liquid cooling unit) is recovered, thereby heating the cooling liquid to achieve the heating of the cooling liquid. Under this premise, the heated cooling liquid is released to the power battery part to ensure that the power battery is constantly within the specified temperature range (second liquid cooling unit). The heated cooling liquid is released to the station air conditioning system, thereby heating the station space of the charging station to ensure that the ambient temperature of the station space is within the range of comfortable feeling (fourth liquid cooling unit).

[0153] It can be seen that the aforementioned power battery part and station air conditioning system will involve the case of required heat. At this time, when the recovered waste heat cannot meet the required heat, the heating component configured by the second liquid cooling unit can be used.

[0154] In a possible implementation, the thermal management system comprises a heat pump unit, a water tank group, and a valve group, wherein the water tank group comprises water tank 1 (as a first vessel, a third vessel), water tank 2 (as a second vessel, a fourth vessel), and water tank 2 (as a fifth vessel), water tank 1 and water tank 2 are respectively configured with pump 1 (as a first pump, a third pump) and pump 2 (as a second pump, a fourth pump), and water tank 3 is configured with a heater as a heating component shared by the second / fourth liquid cooling unit. The valve group comprises a three-way valve and a solenoid valve, wherein water tank 1-pump 1-charging module-three-way valve-evaporator-water tank 1 forms a first liquid cooling unit, water tank 2-pump 2-power battery part-water tank 3-three-way valve-evaporator-water tank 2 forms a second liquid cooling unit, water tank 1-pump 1-charging terminal-three-way valve-evaporator-water tank 1 forms a third liquid cooling unit, water tank 2-pump 2-station air conditioning system-water tank 3-three-way valve-evaporator-water tank 2 forms a fourth liquid cooling unit, and the solenoid valve is arranged in parallel with pump 2 in the second / fourth liquid cooling unit.

[0155] As can be seen, in the present example, the first / third liquid cooling unit is arranged in a certain degree of unification, and the second / fourth liquid cooling unit is arranged in a certain degree of unification.

[0156] In order to ensure the accuracy of thermal management, the temperature and flow of the cooling liquid need to be detected, and accordingly, a flow meter (marked as flow meter 1) can be arranged on the pipeline of the first / third liquid cooling unit, and temperature meters (marked as temperature meter 1 and temperature meter 2, respectively) are arranged on both sides of the charging module / charging terminal. Similarly, a flow meter (marked as flow meter 2) can be arranged on the pipeline of the second / fourth liquid cooling unit, and temperature meters (marked as temperature meter 3 and temperature meter 4, respectively) are arranged on both sides of the charging module / charging terminal.

[0157] Based on the above structure, the present application will be described in combination with two specific application scenarios.

[0158] Application scenario one (summer):

[0159] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2At this time, the ambient temperature is high, so that the heat pump unit operates in the refrigeration mode and the pump 2 operates (the electromagnetic valve is closed). Based on this, the pump 1 sends the low-temperature cooling liquid in the water tank 1 to the charging module and the charging terminal respectively, and takes away the heat generated in the working process of the charging module and the charging terminal, and the cooling liquid is heated due to the recovery of the waste heat of the charging module and the charging terminal. The heated cooling liquid flows to the evaporator of the heat pump system through the first end (left end) and the third end (lower end) of the three-way valve, and is cooled through heat exchange with the surface of the evaporator to ensure the recyclability of the liquid cooling. The first, third liquid cooling units are provided with a flow meter 1, a temperature meter 1 and a temperature meter 2, which are mainly used for detecting the flow rate and temperature of the cooling liquid. At the same time, the pump 1 sends the low-temperature cooling liquid in the water tank 1 to the power battery and the in-station air conditioning system respectively, and takes away the heat of the power battery and the in-station space of the charging and swapping station, and the cooling liquid is heated due to the recovery of the waste heat of the power battery and the heat in the environment. Similarly, the heated cooling liquid flows to the evaporator of the heat pump system through the second end (right end) and the third end (lower end) of the three-way valve, and is cooled through heat exchange with the surface of the evaporator to ensure the recyclability of the liquid cooling. The second, fourth liquid cooling units are provided with a flow meter 2, a temperature meter 3 and a temperature meter 3, which are mainly used for detecting the flow rate and temperature of the cooling liquid.

[0160] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flowchart of a control method of a heat management system for a charging and swapping station is shown Figure 1 . As Figure 5 shown, in this application scenario, the control method of the heat management system for the charging and swapping station mainly includes the following steps:

[0161] Step 501, make the heat pump unit operate in the refrigeration mode.

[0162] Based on this, the evaporator can recover heat to ensure the low-temperature property of the circulating cooling liquid.

[0163] Step 503, make the pump 1 operate.

[0164] Based on this, the first / third liquid cooling unit is started.

[0165] Step 505, make the pump 2 operate and close the electromagnetic valve.

[0166] Based on this, the second / fourth liquid cooling unit is started.

[0167] Step 507, open the left end, right end and lower end of the three-way valve.

[0168] Based on this, the formation of the first / second / third / fourth cooling liquid circulation loop corresponding to the first / second / third / fourth liquid cooling unit is ensured.

[0169] Under this premise, the temperature is mainly based on the flow, the switching state of the relevant valve (such as the three-way valve, the regulating valve corresponding to the power battery part / station air conditioning system) and the specific opening degree, the operating parameters of the pump, etc. Control, so as to realize effective thermal management.

[0170] Application scenario two (winter):

[0171] Continuing to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the ambient temperature is low at this time, so the heat pump unit is not running and the pump 2 is stopped (the electromagnetic valve is opened). Based on this, the pump 1 transports the low-temperature coolant in the water tank 1 and the water tank 2 to the charging module and the charging terminal respectively, taking away the heat generated during the operation of the charging module and the charging terminal. The cooling liquid is heated due to the recovery of the waste heat of the charging module and the charging terminal. The heated cooling liquid flows to the water tank 3 provided with a heater through the left end and the right end of the three-way valve in turn. At this time, if the heat carried by the cooling liquid can meet the demand of the power battery and the station air conditioning system, the heater does not work, that is, the heat in the cooling liquid is directly transferred to the power battery (so that the power battery is constantly in a specified temperature range) and the station air conditioning system (so that the space in the station is in a comfortable temperature range). If the heat carried by the cooling liquid cannot meet the demand of the power battery and the station air conditioning system, the heater provided in the water tank 3 is started to further heat the cooling liquid to a temperature that can meet the requirements of the two. After heat exchange with the power battery and the station air conditioning system, the cooling liquid is cooled and then flows back to the water tank 2 and the water tank 2 through the electromagnetic valve.

[0172] Referring to Figure 6 , Figure 6 a flowchart of a control method of a heat management system for a charging and swapping station of the present application is shown Figure 2 . As shown in Figure 6 , in this application scenario, the control method of the heat management system for the charging and swapping station mainly includes the following steps:

[0173] Step 601, open the electromagnetic valve, and stop the pump 2.

[0174] Based on this, the first / third liquid cooling unit is started.

[0175] And the water tank 1 corresponding to the first / third liquid cooling unit and the water tank 2 corresponding to the second / fourth liquid cooling unit are in series to hold the circulating cooling liquid.

[0176] Step 603, operate the pump 1.

[0177] Based on this, the first / third liquid cooling unit is started.

[0178] Step 605, open the left end and the right end of the three-way valve.

[0179] Therefore, the evaporator does not participate in the circulation loop of the cooling liquid.

[0180] Step 607: Determine whether the temperature of the power battery and the station space meets the standard. If yes, the heating component arranged in the water tank 3 is not started. If no, the heating component is started.

[0181] Under this premise, the flow, the switching state and the specific opening degree of the relevant valves (such as the three-way valve, the regulating valve corresponding to the power battery part / station air conditioning system, the electromagnetic valve), the operating parameters of the pump, the operating parameters of the heating component, etc. are mainly controlled based on the temperature, so as to realize effective thermal management.

[0182] It should be noted that in the present example, the second liquid cooling unit corresponding to the power battery and the fourth liquid cooling unit corresponding to the station air conditioning system are partially combined, specifically in the form of one main pipe and two parallel branch pipes extended from the main pipe, and the water tank 3 and the heating component each include one arranged on the main pipe. As can be seen, the electromagnetic valve (not shown) can be arranged in each branch pipe, and by adjusting the opening degree of the electromagnetic valve, the cooling liquid flowing through the power battery and the station air conditioning system can be reasonably distributed. Obviously, this is only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can make reasonable changes according to the actual situation. For example, the heating component can be arranged for each branch pipe to more accurately meet the heat demand of the second liquid cooling unit and the fourth liquid cooling unit.

[0183] It should be noted that in the present example, the first / third liquid cooling unit is partially combined as a group of pipes, and the second / fourth liquid cooling unit is partially combined as a group of pipes, and the two groups of pipes are further combined by a three-way valve. Obviously, this is only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can make reasonable changes according to the actual situation. For example, other ways of combination or independent four circulation pipes can be arranged, and the water tank, the pump and the heating component are not shared.

[0184] It should be noted that in the present example, the water tank 1 and the water tank 2 are combined to supply the cooling liquid. Specifically, in the application scenario one, the cooling liquid is supplied to the pipeline corresponding to the first / third liquid cooling unit and the pipeline corresponding to the second / fourth liquid cooling unit respectively (pump 2 is started, and the water tank 1 and the water tank 2 supply the cooling liquid in parallel), and in the application scenario two, the waste heat of the charging module / charging terminal is recovered in a combined manner, and then the cooling liquid carrying heat is supplied to the power battery and the station air conditioning system (pump 2 is not started, and the water tank 1 and the water tank 2 supply the cooling liquid in series). Obviously, this is only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can make reasonable changes according to actual conditions. For example, the two can be combined into one water tank with sufficient capacity and corresponding partitioning and valves in the tank to cope with the two application scenarios; an additional water tank is added, and in the application scenario two, the second water tank can be replaced by the additional water tank; the fourth liquid cooling unit is provided with two water tanks, one of which is provided with a pump with a pumping direction opposite to that of the pump of the first / third liquid cooling unit, and the other is not provided with a pump or is provided with a pump with the same pumping direction as that of the pump of the first / third liquid cooling unit; etc.

[0185] As can be seen, in the heat management system for the charging and swapping station of the application, through the cooperation of the four liquid cooling units, the heat management of the components in the charging and swapping station, including the charging module, the charging terminal, the power battery part, and the station air conditioning system, is realized on the premise of recycling the heat of the charging module and the charging terminal, through the cooperation of the heat pump unit and the heating component. Based on the structure of the above heat management system, through the basic control of the pump, the heating component, the three-way valve, the electromagnetic valve, etc. in the system and further monitoring on this premise, the heat management of the charging and swapping station is realized.

[0186] It should be noted that although the steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art can understand that, in order to achieve the effect of the application, the steps do not have to be executed in this order, they can be executed simultaneously or in other order, or some steps can be added, replaced or omitted, such as S501-S507 which are basically simultaneous actions, and S601-S605 which are basically simultaneous actions.

[0187] It should be noted that although the control method constituted in the above specific manner is introduced as an example, those skilled in the art can understand that the application should not be limited thereto. In fact, the user can flexibly adjust the related steps and the parameters in the steps and other elements according to the actual application scenario and other conditions, such as adjusting the control method according to the change of the structure of the heat management system.

[0188] The technical scheme of the present application has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without departing from the principles of the present application, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
