It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here.

Moreover, in the specification and claims, when an element is described as being "connected" to another element, the element may be "directly connected" to the other element, or "connected" to the other element through a third element.

[0027] As mentioned in the background technology, the battery pack cooling effect in the prior art is not good. In order to solve the above problem, in a typical embodiment of the present application, a vehicle thermal management method, a thermal management device, a computer-readable storage medium, a processor and a vehicle are provided.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present application, a vehicle thermal management method is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes a battery pack 100, a domain controller 101 and a cooling system, the cooling system includes a battery pack cooler (not shown in the figure), a first pipeline 102 and a second pipeline 103, the first pipeline 102 and the second pipeline 103 are both used to transport coolant, the battery pack cooler and the battery pack 100 are respectively located on the first pipeline 102, the second pipeline 103 is connected in parallel to the first pipeline 102 at both ends of the battery pack 100, the domain controller 101 is located on the second pipeline 103, and the second pipeline 103 is provided with a valve 104.

[0029] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a thermal management method for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step S101, obtaining the working state of the battery pack cooler, the working state being an on state or an off state;

[0031] Step S102, at least according to the working state, adjust the opening of the valve so that the coolant flows through the first pipeline and the second pipeline to cool the battery pack and the domain controller, or the coolant flows through the first pipeline to cool the battery pack.

[0032] In the thermal management method of the vehicle of the present application, first, the working state of the battery pack cooler is obtained, and then, according to the working state, the opening of the valve is adjusted so that the coolant flows through the first pipeline and the second pipeline to cool the battery pack and the domain controller, or the coolant flows through the first pipeline to cool the battery pack. Compared with the cooling and heat dissipation strategy of the battery pack and the domain controller in parallel in the prior art, the coolant will flow to the pipeline where the domain controller is located and the pipeline where the battery pack is located, resulting in the problem of poor cooling effect of the battery pack. According to the working state of the battery pack cooler, the present application adjusts the valve opening to control the flow of the coolant flowing through the first pipeline and the second pipeline to cool the battery pack and the domain controller that need to be cooled, or by adjusting the valve opening, the coolant only flows through the first pipeline to cool the battery pack, which alleviates the problem of poor cooling effect of the battery pack in the prior art, ensures that the cooling flow of the battery pack is occupied as little as possible, and distributes more cooling to the battery pack, ensuring that the battery pack can work in a suitable temperature range. And the present application does not need to request the inlet water temperature. The inlet temperature at this time (i.e., the temperature of the coolant flowing into the first pipe and the second pipe) is determined based on whether the battery pack cooler is working. That is, when the battery pack cooler is not working, the actual inlet temperature is the ambient temperature. When the battery pack cooler is working, the actual water temperature is a fixed temperature.

[0033] In actual application, vehicles generally have two cooling modes. One is that the coolant dissipates heat through the radiator at the front end of the vehicle. At this time, the coolant temperature ≈ the ambient temperature, which is suitable for normal temperature or low temperature use environment; the other is that the coolant exchanges heat through the vehicle's battery pack cooler (Chiller), which can obtain a lower coolant temperature. Generally, the coolant temperature is ≈20°C, which is suitable for high temperature use environment. That is to say, when the battery pack cooler is not working, the actual inlet temperature is the ambient temperature. When the battery pack cooler is working, the actual water temperature is 20°C.

[0034] In order to further ensure that the battery pack operates within a suitable temperature range, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, the opening of the valve is adjusted at least according to the above working state, including: when the above working state is the above open state, the valve is controlled to open to the first predetermined opening; when the above working state is the above closed state, the valve is controlled to open to the second predetermined opening, wherein the second predetermined opening is greater than the first predetermined opening. When the above working state is the above open state, it means that the operating temperature of the battery pack is relatively high and a large amount of coolant is required. At this time, the valve is opened to a smaller first predetermined opening, so that the flow rate of the coolant in the second pipeline where the domain controller is located is relatively small, and most of the coolant flows to the first pipeline where the battery pack is located, so as to cool down the battery pack, and further ensure a better cooling effect of the battery pack. When the working state is the closed state, it means that the working temperature of the battery pack is not very high and the required amount of coolant is small. At this time, the valve is opened to a larger second predetermined opening, so that the flow rate of the coolant in the second pipeline where the domain controller is located is larger, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the battery pack and further ensuring a better cooling effect on the domain controller.

[0035] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, before adjusting the opening of the valve at least according to the working state, the method further includes: obtaining a first temperature, the first temperature being data representing the working temperature of the domain controller; adjusting the opening of the valve at least according to the working state, including: adjusting the opening of the valve according to the working state and the first temperature. In this embodiment, the opening of the valve is adjusted according to the first temperature representing the working temperature of the domain controller and the working state, which further takes into account the cooling effect of the battery pack and the cooling effect of the domain controller.

[0036] Specifically, obtaining the first temperature includes: obtaining the temperature reported by TAD4 (a chip representing the OIB temperature). Since the main heat source in the domain controller is TAD4, the temperature reported by TAD4 is used as the operating temperature of the entire domain controller, which ensures that the above-mentioned first temperature can be obtained relatively simply and conveniently. The present application not only adjusts the valve opening by the working status of the chiller, but also adjusts the valve opening by taking into account the temperature of the domain controller, further ensuring that the battery pack can operate within a suitable temperature range, and further ensuring that the domain controller can operate within a suitable temperature range.

[0037] In order to further ensure that the cooling effect of the above-mentioned battery pack and the above-mentioned domain controller is good, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, according to the above-mentioned working state and the above-mentioned first temperature, the opening of the above-mentioned valve is adjusted, including: when the above-mentioned working state is the above-mentioned open state and the above-mentioned first temperature is less than the first threshold value, the opening of the above-mentioned valve is adjusted to a third predetermined opening; when the above-mentioned working state is the above-mentioned open state and the above-mentioned first temperature is within the first temperature range, the opening of the above-mentioned valve is adjusted to a fourth predetermined opening; when the above-mentioned working state is the above-mentioned open state and the above-mentioned first temperature is greater than the second threshold value, the opening of the above-mentioned valve is adjusted to a fifth predetermined opening, wherein the above-mentioned first threshold value is less than or equal to the minimum value of the above-mentioned first temperature range, the above-mentioned second threshold value is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the above-mentioned first temperature range, and the above-mentioned third predetermined opening degree is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the above-mentioned first temperature range. is less than or equal to the fourth predetermined opening, and the fourth predetermined opening is less than or equal to the fifth predetermined opening; when the working state is the closed state and the first temperature is less than the third threshold value, the opening of the valve is adjusted to the sixth predetermined opening; when the working state is the closed state and the first temperature is within the second temperature range, the opening of the valve is adjusted to the seventh predetermined opening; when the working state is the closed state and the first temperature is greater than the fourth threshold value, the opening of the valve is adjusted to the eighth predetermined opening, wherein the third threshold value is less than or equal to the minimum value of the second temperature range, the fourth threshold value is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the second temperature range, the sixth predetermined opening is less than or equal to the seventh predetermined opening, and the seventh predetermined opening is less than or equal to the eighth predetermined opening.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the first threshold is 50°C, the first temperature range is 65-105°C, the second threshold is , the third threshold is 50°C, the second temperature range is 62-80°C, the fourth threshold is 80°C, the third predetermined opening is 0, the fourth predetermined opening is 1L / min, the fifth predetermined opening is 3L / min, the sixth predetermined opening is 0, the seventh predetermined opening is 1L / min, and the eighth predetermined opening is 3L / min. Of course, the values ​​of the above parameters are not limited to the above values, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set them according to actual conditions. The above adjustment gear for the opening of the valve is also not limited to the above third predetermined opening, the fourth predetermined opening, the fifth predetermined opening, the sixth predetermined opening, the seventh predetermined opening and the eighth predetermined opening. Those skilled in the art can set the number of gears according to actual needs, such as only setting the above third predetermined opening, the fourth predetermined opening, and the fifth predetermined opening, or in addition to the above gears, adding the ninth predetermined gear, the tenth predetermined gear, and so on.

[0039] According to another specific embodiment of the present application, the opening of the above-mentioned valve is adjusted at least according to the above-mentioned working state, including: adjusting the opening of the above-mentioned valve according to the first temperature of the domain controller and at least one of the temperature limit ratio of the above-mentioned domain controller, the working state of the battery pack cooler and the current state of the domain controller.

[0040] Specifically, according to the working state of the battery pack cooler, the current state of the domain controller, the first temperature of the domain controller and the temperature limit ratio, the specific reference parameters for controlling the opening of the above-mentioned valve are shown in Table 1, wherein the current state of the domain controller is divided into back-shift cooling and request cooling. When the battery pack cooler is in the on state, the back-shift cooling of the domain controller includes no cooling, high-speed cooling gear ① and high-speed cooling gear ②, and the request cooling of the domain controller includes high-speed cooling gear ① and high-speed cooling gear ②; when the battery pack cooler is in the off state, the back-shift cooling of the domain controller includes no cooling, low-speed cooling gear ① and low-speed cooling gear ②, and the request cooling includes low-speed cooling gear ① and low-speed cooling gear ②. The temperature limit ratio of the domain controller is the ratio of the temperature reported by TAD4 to the over-temperature of TAD4. The over-temperature of TAD4 can be 125°C. Specifically, when the battery pack cooler is in the on state and the domain controller is in the high-end cooling gear ② of the downshift cooling state, if the first temperature is less than 80°C, the temperature limit ratio is less than 64% at this time, and the opening of the above-mentioned valve is controlled to be 1L / min; when the battery pack cooler is in the on state and the domain controller is in the high-end cooling gear ① of requesting cooling, if the first temperature satisfies 65°C≤T<105°C, the temperature limit ratio is between 52% and 84% at this time, and the opening of the above-mentioned valve is controlled to be 1L / min; when the battery pack cooler is in the on state and the domain controller is in the high-end cooling gear ② of requesting cooling, if the first temperature is greater than 105°C, the temperature limit ratio is greater than 84% at this time, and the opening of the above-mentioned valve is controlled to be 3L / min; when the battery pack cooler is in the off state, the corresponding adjustment parameters are shown in Table 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0042]

[0043] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the opening of the valve is adjusted according to the working state and the first temperature, including: an adjustment step, when the first temperature is not within the third temperature range, the opening of the valve is adjusted according to the working state and the first temperature; an acquisition step, acquiring the adjusted first temperature; a determination step, determining whether the first temperature is within the third temperature range; a loop step, sequentially executing the adjustment step, the acquisition step, and the determination step at least once until the first temperature is within the third temperature range. By looping and adjusting the valve opening, the automatic adjustment of the working temperature of the domain controller is achieved, further ensuring that the working temperature of the domain controller can be maintained within a suitable temperature range.

[0044] In order to further ensure that the battery pack is always in a suitable temperature range, avoid damage to the battery pack due to over-high temperature, and further ensure the service life of the battery pack, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, the method also includes: obtaining a second temperature, the second temperature is data characterizing the working temperature of the battery pack; according to the second temperature, controlling the working state of the battery pack cooler, when the second temperature is greater than the fifth threshold, controlling the battery pack cooler to turn on, when the second temperature is less than or equal to the fifth threshold, controlling the battery pack cooler to turn off. In this way, the automatic adjustment of the working temperature of the battery pack is achieved, and it is further ensured that the working temperature of the battery pack can be maintained in a suitable temperature range.

[0045] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0046] The present application also provides a thermal management device for a vehicle, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes a battery pack 100, a domain controller 101 and a cooling system, the cooling system includes a battery pack cooler (not shown in the figure), a first pipeline 102 and a second pipeline 103, the first pipeline 102 and the second pipeline 103 are both used to transport coolant, the battery pack cooler and the battery pack 100 are respectively located on the first pipeline 102, the second pipeline 103 is connected in parallel to the first pipeline 102 at both ends of the battery pack 100, the domain controller 101 is located on the second pipeline 103, and a valve 104 is provided on the second pipeline 103. It should be noted that the thermal management device of the vehicle in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute the thermal management method for the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application. The thermal management device of the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

[0047] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a thermal management device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a first acquisition unit 10 and an adjustment unit 20, wherein the first acquisition unit 10 is used to obtain the working state of the battery pack cooler, and the working state is an open state or a closed state; the adjustment unit 20 is used to adjust the opening of the valve at least according to the working state, so that the coolant flows through the first pipeline and the second pipeline to cool the battery pack and the domain controller, or the coolant flows through the first pipeline to cool the battery pack.

[0048] In the thermal management device of the vehicle of the present application, the working state of the battery pack cooler being turned on or off is obtained by the above-mentioned first acquisition unit, and the opening of the valve is adjusted by the above-mentioned adjustment unit according to the working state, so that the coolant flows through the first pipeline and the second pipeline to cool the battery pack and the domain controller, or the coolant flows through the above-mentioned first pipeline to cool the battery pack. Compared with the cooling and heat dissipation strategy of the battery pack and the domain controller in parallel in the prior art, the coolant will flow to the pipeline where the domain controller is located and the pipeline where the battery pack is located, resulting in the problem of poor cooling effect of the battery pack. The present application adjusts the valve opening according to the working state of the battery pack cooler to control the flow of the coolant flowing through the first pipeline and the second pipeline to cool the battery pack and the domain controller that need to be cooled, or by adjusting the valve opening, the coolant only flows through the first pipeline to cool the battery pack, which alleviates the problem of poor cooling effect of the battery pack in the prior art, ensures that the cooling flow of the battery pack is occupied as little as possible, and distributes more cooling to the battery pack, so as to ensure that the battery pack can work in a suitable temperature range. And the present application does not need to request the inlet water temperature. The inlet temperature at this time (i.e., the temperature of the coolant flowing into the first pipe and the second pipe) is determined based on whether the battery pack cooler is working. That is, when the battery pack cooler is not working, the actual inlet temperature is the ambient temperature. When the battery pack cooler is working, the actual water temperature is a fixed temperature.

[0049] In actual application, vehicles generally have two cooling modes. One is that the coolant dissipates heat through the radiator at the front end of the vehicle. At this time, the coolant temperature ≈ the ambient temperature, which is suitable for normal temperature or low temperature use environment; the other is that the coolant exchanges heat through the battery pack cooler of the vehicle to obtain a lower coolant temperature. Generally, the coolant temperature is ≈20°C, which is suitable for high temperature use environment. That is to say, when the battery pack cooler is not working, the actual inlet temperature is the ambient temperature. When the battery pack cooler is working, the actual water temperature is 20°C.

[0050] In order to further ensure that the battery pack operates within a suitable temperature range, according to another specific embodiment of the present application, the adjustment unit includes a first control module and a second control module, wherein the first control module is used to control the valve to open to a first predetermined opening when the working state is the open state; the second control module is used to control the valve to open to a second predetermined opening when the working state is the closed state, wherein the second predetermined opening is greater than the first predetermined opening. When the working state is the open state, it means that the working temperature of the battery pack is relatively high and a large amount of coolant is required. At this time, the valve is opened to a smaller first predetermined opening, so that the flow rate of the coolant in the second pipeline where the domain controller is located is relatively small, and most of the coolant flows to the first pipeline where the battery pack is located, so as to cool down the battery pack, and further ensure a better cooling effect of the battery pack. When the working state is the closed state, it means that the working temperature of the battery pack is not very high and the required amount of coolant is small.
