For example, in the prior art, the thermal management system needs to change the flow direction of the refrigerant during cooling and heating, so that six or more valves need to be arranged in the refrigerant circuit, the system control is complex, the refrigerant charge is large, and the cost is high.
[0038] In view of this, the electric vehicle thermal management system and the electric vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present invention can solve this problem to a great extent.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides an electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 and an electric vehicle, which will be described in detail below.
[0040] An embodiment of the present invention provides an electric vehicle, which includes an electric vehicle thermal management system 1000. The number of components of the refrigerant circuit in the electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 is smaller, the system control is simpler and more reliable, and the cost can be lower.
[0041] The electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 includes a cooling and heating module 100, an HVAC module 200, a front-end module 300, a power battery 400, a first water pump 11, a second water pump 12, a third water pump 13, a first switch water valve 21, a second switch water valve 22, a third switch water valve 23, a first proportional water valve 31, an expansion kettle 700 and a second proportional water valve 32. The cooling and heating module 100 includes an electric compressor 110, a water-cooled condenser 120, an electronic expansion valve 130, a plate heat exchanger 150, and an HVAC module 200. The AC module 200 includes an evaporator 210, a heater core 220 and a thermal expansion valve 230, the outlet end of the thermal expansion valve 230 is connected to the inlet end of the evaporator 210, the front end module 300 includes a first radiator 310, and the expansion kettle 700 is connected to the coolant pipeline of the electric vehicle thermal management system. Specifically, the expansion kettle 700 is respectively connected to the pipeline between the second switch water valve 22 and the first water pump 11, the first radiator 310, the first proportional water valve 31 and the third water pump 13, and the second pipeline 50.
[0042] The electric compressor 110 , the water-cooled condenser 120 , the electronic expansion valve 130 , the plate heat exchanger 150 , the evaporator 210 and the thermal expansion valve 230 together constitute a refrigerant circuit.
[0043] The inlet end of the electronic expansion valve 130 and the inlet end of the thermal expansion valve 230 are connected in parallel to the refrigerant outlet end of the water-cooled condenser 120. The outlet end of the evaporator 210 is connected to the pipeline between the electric compressor 110 and the water-cooled condenser 120. In order to completely cut off the coolant circuit, the thermal expansion valve 230 is a thermal expansion valve with a cut-off function (SO-TXV). Of course, in other embodiments, the thermal expansion valve 230 can also be replaced by an electronic expansion valve.
[0044] The coolant outlet of the water-cooled condenser 120, the inlet of the third water pump 13 and the third port of the third switch water valve 23 are respectively connected to the first port, the second port and the third port of the second proportional water valve 32, the pipeline between the third switch water valve 23 and the first radiator 310, the coolant outlet of the plate heat exchanger 150, the second proportional water valve 32 and the inlet of the third water pump 13 are respectively connected to the first port, the second port and the third port of the first proportional water valve 31, the coolant outlet of the power battery 400, the inlet of the second water pump 12 and the inlet of the first water pump 11 are respectively connected to the first port, the second port and the third port of the second switch water valve 22, and the pipeline between the inlet of the second water pump 12 and the second port of the second switch water valve 22 is the first pipeline 40;
[0045] The coolant outlet end of the heater core 220 is connected to the first pipeline 40, and the connecting pipeline is the second pipeline 50. The coolant outlet end of the first radiator 310, the second pipeline 50, and the inlet end of the first water pump 11 are respectively connected to the first port, the second port and the third port of the first switch water valve 21 through the pipeline between the second switch water valve 22. The coolant inlet end of the first radiator 310, the coolant inlet end of the heater core 220, and the first port of the second proportional water valve 32 are respectively connected to the first port, the second port and the third port of the third switch water valve 23. The outlet end of the first water pump 11 is connected to the coolant inlet end of the plate heat exchanger 150, the outlet end of the second water pump 12 is connected to the coolant inlet end of the water-cooled condenser 120, and the outlet end of the third water pump 13 is connected to the coolant inlet end of the power battery 400.
[0046] In this embodiment, the first switch water valve 21, the second switch water valve 22, and the third switch water valve 23 are all three-way water valves, the first proportional water valve 31 and the second proportional water valve 32 are both proportional three-way water valves, the first water pump 11, the second water pump 12, and the third water pump 13 are all electronic water pumps. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple three-way water valves of the coolant circuit can be integrated into one or several multi-way water valves to facilitate the product integrated design of the coolant circuit.
[0047] When the passenger compartment of the electric vehicle needs to be cooled and the power battery 400 needs to be cooled at the same time, at this time, the electronic expansion valve 130 and the thermal expansion valve 230 are both in the open state. In order to facilitate the refrigerant amount in the refrigerant circuit to adapt to different temperature state requirements, the cooling and heating module 100 also includes a liquid reservoir 140, and the refrigerant outlet end of the water-cooled condenser 120, the liquid reservoir 140 and the inlet end of the electronic expansion valve 130 are connected in sequence, and the inlet end of the electronic expansion valve 130 and the inlet end of the thermal expansion valve 230 are connected in parallel to the refrigerant outlet end of the liquid reservoir 140.
[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the liquid storage tank 140 can also be a gas-liquid separator. In this case, the refrigerant outlet end of the plate heat exchanger 150, the gas-liquid separator and the inlet end of the electric compressor 110 are connected in sequence, and the inlet end of the electronic expansion valve 130 and the inlet end of the thermal expansion valve 230 are connected in parallel to the refrigerant outlet end of the water-cooled condenser 120, wherein the water-cooled condenser 120, the gas-liquid separator, the electronic expansion valve 130 and the plate heat exchanger 150 can be integrated into one.
[0049] The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing out from the refrigerant outlet of the electric compressor 110 enters the water-cooled condenser 120, and the condensed high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the liquid reservoir 140. The liquid refrigerant coming out of the liquid reservoir 140 is divided into two paths, one of which passes through the outlet of the electronic expansion valve 130 and enters the plate heat exchanger 150, and the other passes through the thermal expansion valve 230 and enters the evaporator 210. The refrigerant absorbs heat in the plate heat exchanger 150 and the evaporator 210 and changes into a superheated gas state. Finally, the refrigerant merges and enters the electric compressor 110. The fan blows the cold air cooled by the evaporator 210 into the vehicle, so that the passenger compartment is in a refrigerated state.
[0050] In order to facilitate the electric vehicle to recycle the heat of the motor drive and control unit, the electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 also includes an electronic drive unit 500 (electrical driver unit, EDU), which can include a motor drive and control unit. The first port of the third switch water valve 23, the electronic drive unit 500 and the coolant inlet end of the first radiator 310 are connected in sequence.
[0051] At this time, the high-temperature coolant flows out from the coolant outlet of the water-cooled condenser 120, enters the electronic drive unit 500 through the second proportional water valve 32 and the third switch water valve 23, and then enters the first radiator 310 to dissipate heat with the ambient air. The coolant cooled by the ambient air enters the second water pump 12 through the first switch water valve 21, and finally returns to the coolant inlet of the water-cooled condenser 120. In other embodiments, the front-end module 300 also includes a second radiator (not shown), and the first radiator 310 and the second radiator are connected in series or in parallel to meet a larger workload.
[0052] The low-temperature coolant flows out from the coolant outlet of the plate heat exchanger 150, passes through the first proportional water valve 31 and the third water pump 13, enters the power battery 400, and then cools the power battery 400, and then passes through the second switch water valve 22 and the first water pump 11, and finally returns to the coolant inlet of the plate heat exchanger 150.
[0053] In some cases, if the power battery 400 does not need forced cooling, the electronic expansion valve 130 can be closed. At this time, the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit will not pass through the plate heat exchanger 150, and the coolant at the coolant outlet end of the plate heat exchanger 150 is no longer a low-temperature coolant.
[0054] When the passenger compartment of the electric vehicle needs to be heated and the power battery 400 needs to be heated at the same time, the electronic expansion valve 130 opens and closes the thermal expansion valve 230. At this time, the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit no longer passes through the evaporator 210. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flowing out of the refrigerant outlet of the electric compressor 110 passes through the water-cooled condenser 120, the liquid storage tank 140 and the electronic expansion valve 130 in turn, and finally enters the plate heat exchanger 150 and then returns to the electric compressor 110.
[0055] At this time, the high-temperature coolant flows out from the coolant outlet end of the water-cooled condenser 120, and is divided into two paths through the second proportional water valve 32. One path passes through the third switch water valve 23 and enters the heater core 220. The air blows through the heater core 220 to absorb heat, and then the passenger compartment can be heated. The coolant passing through the heater core 220 flows to the first pipeline 40 through the second pipeline 50.
[0056] The other route enters the power battery 400 through the third water pump 13 to heat the power battery 400. The coolant flowing out of the power battery 400 flows into the first pipeline 40 after passing through the second switch water valve 22. The coolant in the first pipeline 40 and the second pipeline 50 merges and then returns to the coolant inlet end of the water-cooled condenser 120 through the second water pump 12. If the power battery 400 has no heating demand, the second proportional water valve 32 can close the pipeline connected to the power battery 400. The low-temperature coolant flows out from the coolant outlet end of the plate heat exchanger 150, enters the electronic drive unit 500 through the first proportional water valve 31, then flows through the first radiator 310, passes through the first switch water valve 21 and the first water pump 11 to enter the high-voltage electric heater 600, and finally returns to the coolant inlet end of the plate heat exchanger 150.
[0057] For example, in a low-temperature environment in winter, the low-temperature coolant flows through the electronic drive unit 500, which can recycle the waste heat of the electronic drive unit 500, improve the heating effect of the passenger compartment, and save energy. When the power battery 400 has no heating demand and there is heat that can be recycled, the first proportional water valve 31 can be adjusted to divide a portion of the coolant through the power battery 400, and then enter the high-voltage electric heater 600 through the second switch water valve 22 and the first water pump 11, and finally return to the plate heat exchanger 150. It is easy to understand that at this time, the first pipeline 40 between the second switch water valve 22 and the second water pump 12 is in a disconnected state. In this way, when the passenger compartment is heated, the waste heat of the electronic drive unit 500 and the waste heat of the power battery 400 can be accurately recovered respectively, further saving energy.
[0058] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 can be used normally at a lower temperature, the electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 may also include a high-voltage electric heater 600, and the outlet end of the first water pump 11, the high-voltage electric heater 600 and the coolant inlet end of the plate heat exchanger 150 are connected in sequence.
[0059] When the passenger compartment of the electric vehicle needs to be dehumidified and the power battery 400 needs forced cooling, the electronic expansion valve 130 and the thermal expansion valve 230 are both in an open state, and the refrigerant flow direction of the refrigerant circuit is the same as the flow direction of the circuit when the passenger compartment needs to be cooled. Of course, if the power battery 400 does not need forced cooling, the electronic expansion valve 130 is closed.
[0060] At this time, the circulation loop of the coolant is as follows: the high-temperature coolant flows out of the water-cooled condenser 120, passes through the second proportional water valve and the third switch water valve 23, enters the heater core 220, and then passes through the second pipeline 50 and the second water pump 12 to return to the water-cooled condenser 120. The low-temperature coolant flows out of the plate heat exchanger 150, passes through the first proportional water valve 31 and is divided into two paths. One path enters the electronic drive unit 500, then flows through the first radiator 310, and passes through the first switch water valve 21; the other path passes through the third water pump 13 and enters the power battery 400, then passes through the second switch water valve 22, and the two paths of coolant merge into the first water pump 11, enter the high-voltage electric heater 600, and finally return to the plate heat exchanger 150. By simultaneously starting the heater core 220 and the evaporator 210 in the HVAC module 200, the dehumidification work in the passenger compartment is realized.
[0061] Of course, if there is no forced cooling requirement for the power battery 400 , the first proportional water valve 31 can close the pipeline leading to the power battery 400 .
[0062] In this embodiment, the water-cooled condenser 120, the liquid storage tank 140, the electronic expansion valve 130 and the plate heat exchanger 150 can be integrated into one module to reduce the use of refrigerant pipelines.
[0063] The electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 and the electric vehicle provided in this embodiment have at least the following advantages:
[0064] The refrigerant circuit of the electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 can be used in multiple states of heating, cooling and dehumidifying the passenger compartment without changing the flow direction of the entire refrigerant cycle. There are only two expansion valves (electronic expansion valve 130 and thermal expansion valve 230), and no one-way valve or solenoid valve is used, which reduces the number of parts in the refrigerant circuit and makes the system control simpler and more reliable. At the same time, the water-cooled condenser 120, the liquid storage tank 140, the electronic expansion valve 130 and the plate heat exchanger 150 can be integrated into a module, and there is no need to use an external heat exchanger, which reduces the refrigerant charge of the electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 and greatly saves costs.
[0065] In addition, the number of control valves in the refrigerant circuit is smaller, that is, the number of pipeline connection nodes is also smaller, the pipeline is simpler, and the risk of refrigerant leakage is reduced.
[0066] The electric vehicle thermal management system 1000 can respectively realize accurate recovery of waste heat of the electronic drive unit 500 and waste heat of the power battery 400, further saving energy consumption. The waste heat recovery of the electronic drive unit 500 and the waste heat of the power battery 400 can be performed separately or simultaneously, thereby improving the waste heat utilization efficiency and control accuracy.
[0067] The electric vehicle reduces the number of components in the refrigerant circuit, and the system control is simpler and more reliable. At the same time, it can cover various passenger compartment temperature and humidity requirements, and ensure the cooling and heating of the power battery 400, thereby ensuring the comfort and safety of the electric vehicle.
[0068] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
