Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0057] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a cooling system of an electric vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure, which comprises a vehicle controller 110, a motor cooler 120, an oil injection pump 130, a three-way valve 140, an electric oil pump 150 and a heat dissipation device 160. Figure 1

[0058] ​The oil outlet of the motor cooler 120 is connected with the oil inlet of the oil injection pump 130, the oil outlet of the oil injection pump 130 is connected with the oil inlet of the electric oil pump 150, and the oil injection pump 130 is used for spraying oil to the gear of the reducer of the electric vehicle. The oil outlet of the electric oil pump 150 is connected with the oil inlet (1) of the three-way valve 140. The first oil outlet (2) of the three-way valve 140 is connected with the oil inlet of the motor cooler 120, the second oil outlet (3) of the three-way valve 140 is connected with the oil inlet of the heat dissipation device 160, and the oil outlet of the heat dissipation device 160 is connected with the oil inlet of the motor cooler 120.

[0059] The whole vehicle controller 110 is electrically connected with the oil injection pump 130, the three-way valve 140, the electric oil pump 150 and the heat dissipation device 160, and is used for controlling the working of the oil injection pump 130, the three-way valve 140, the electric oil pump 150 and the heat dissipation device 160.

[0060] The motor cooler 120 is used for cooling the driving motor (M) of the electric vehicle. In an example, the motor cooler 120 can include a plurality of pipelines for transmitting lubricating oil, and is arranged in the shell of the driving motor or is wound on the stator of the driving motor, so that the heat generated in the operation of the driving motor is transferred to the lubricating oil in the motor cooler by heat exchange, thereby heating the lubricating oil. At present, the water cooling scheme is usually used for cooling the driving motor in the industry, the cooling water flows through the motor, and a cooling circuit is separately formed, which has high cost, and the heat generated by the driving motor cannot be effectively utilized, and the energy efficiency is low. In the embodiment of the present application, the heat generated by the driving motor is used for heating the lubricating oil of the reducer, the heat generated in the operation of the driving motor is effectively utilized, and the energy efficiency is improved.

[0061] The oil injection pump 130 is provided with a nozzle, and the heated lubricating oil is sprayed to the gear of the reducer through the nozzle of the oil injection pump 130, so that the lubricating oil with appropriate temperature is provided for the reducer, the problem that the endurance mileage of the electric vehicle is reduced due to the low temperature and the increase of the viscosity of the lubricating oil is avoided, and the endurance mileage of the electric vehicle is improved. In an example, the flow of the lubricating oil sprayed from the nozzle of the oil injection pump 130 can be controlled by the whole vehicle controller 110, for example, the whole vehicle controller 110 controls the flow of the lubricating oil sprayed from the nozzle of the oil injection pump 130 by pulse width modulation. At present, the splash lubrication method is usually used for lubricating the reducer in the industry, that is, part of the gears of the reducer are soaked in the lubricating oil for cooling, and the oil is stirred and splashed to lubricate and cool the gears of the reducer when the gears rotate. The resistance is large when the gears of the reducer are stirred in the lubricating oil, and the transmission efficiency is low. In the embodiment of the present application, the oil is sprayed to the gears of the reducer by the oil injection pump, the resistance of the gear rotation is reduced, the transmission efficiency is improved, and the endurance mileage of the electric vehicle is improved.

[0062] The heat dissipation device 160 is used to cool the lubricating oil when the oil temperature is too high, so as to avoid the problem that the lubricating oil is deteriorated due to the too high lubricating oil temperature, the lubricating effect of the speed reducer is affected, and the service life of the speed reducer is affected, and the service life of the lubricating oil and the speed reducer is improved. The heat dissipation form of the heat dissipation device 160 can be air cooling, water cooling or a combination of the two, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited here.

[0063] For example, when the external environment temperature is lower than the preset temperature (for example, 35℃), and the oil temperature of the lubricating oil in the fuel injection pump 130 is lower than the first preset value (for example, 80℃), the vehicle controller 110 controls the oil inlet (1) and the first oil outlet (2) of the three-way valve 140 to be communicated, the oil inlet (1) and the second oil outlet (3) are closed, and the circuit formed by the electric oil pump 150, the motor cooler 120 and the fuel injection pump 130 is communicated, and the circuit in which the heat dissipation device 160 is located is closed, so that the lubricating oil can be quickly heated by the heat generated by the operation of the motor. The lubricating oil in the motor cooler 120 is heated by the heat generated by the operation of the driving motor. The heated lubricating oil is sprayed to the gear of the speed reducer through the nozzle of the fuel injection pump 130, so as to provide the speed reducer with lubricating oil with a suitable temperature. The lubricating oil flows back to the electric oil pump 150 through the outlet of the fuel injection pump 130, and the electric oil pump 150 pressurizes the lubricating oil, so that the lubricating oil in the pipeline has sufficient pressure, and the lubricating oil can flow through each position in the system.

[0064] After the lubricating oil is heated, the oil temperature rises, and when the oil temperature reaches the second preset value (for example, 85℃), the vehicle controller 110 controls the oil inlet (1) and the second oil outlet (3) of the three-way valve 140 to be communicated, the oil inlet (1) and the first oil outlet (2) are closed, and the circuit formed by the electric oil pump 150, the heat dissipation device 160, the motor cooler 120 and the fuel injection pump 130 is communicated. The vehicle controller 110 controls the heat dissipation device 160 to work to cool the lubricating oil in the pipeline. The cooled lubricating oil is sprayed to the gear of the speed reducer through the nozzle of the fuel injection pump 130, so as to provide the speed reducer with lubricating oil with a suitable temperature, avoid the problem that the lubricating oil is deteriorated due to the too high lubricating oil temperature, the lubricating effect of the speed reducer is affected, and the service life of the speed reducer is affected, and the service life of the lubricating oil and the speed reducer is improved.

[0065] The electric vehicle cooling system provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a vehicle controller, a motor cooler, an oil injection pump, a three-way valve, an electric oil pump and a heat dissipation device, the oil outlet of the motor cooler is connected with the oil inlet of the oil injection pump, the oil outlet of the oil injection pump is connected with the oil inlet of the electric oil pump, the oil injection pump is used for spraying oil to the gear of the reducer of the electric vehicle, the oil outlet of the electric oil pump is connected with the oil inlet of the three-way valve, the first oil outlet of the three-way valve is connected with the oil inlet of the motor cooler, the second oil outlet of the three-way valve is connected with the oil inlet of the heat dissipation device, the oil outlet of the heat dissipation device is connected with the oil inlet of the motor cooler, and the vehicle controller is electrically connected with the oil injection pump, the three-way valve, the electric oil pump and the heat dissipation device respectively. The heat generated by the driving motor is used for heating the lubricating oil of the reducer, the heat generated during the operation of the driving motor is effectively utilized, and the energy efficiency is improved. The heated lubricating oil is sprayed to the gear of the reducer through the nozzle of the oil injection pump, the problem that the low temperature and the increased viscosity of the lubricating oil result in the reduction of the cruising range of the electric vehicle is avoided, and the cruising range of the electric vehicle is improved. When the oil temperature of the lubricating oil is too high, the vehicle controller controls the three-way valve to connect the loop in which the heat dissipation device is located, the lubricating oil is cooled, the problem that the high temperature of the lubricating oil results in the deterioration of the lubricating oil and affects the lubricating effect of the reducer and the service life of the reducer is avoided, and the service life of the lubricating oil and the reducer is improved.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the electric vehicle cooling system further comprises an expansion tank, the oil inlet of the expansion tank is connected with the oil outlet of the electric oil pump, and the oil outlet of the expansion tank is connected with the oil inlet of the electric oil pump. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 17, the electric vehicle cooling system further comprises an expansion tank 170, the oil inlet of the expansion tank 170 is connected with the oil outlet of the electric oil pump 150, and the oil outlet of the expansion tank 170 is connected with the oil inlet of the electric oil pump 150. The expansion tank 170 is usually not filled with lubricating oil and can function as pressure stabilizing. Specifically, since the electric vehicle cooling system is a closed oil circuit system, when the oil temperature in the pipeline changes, the volume of the lubricating oil will change accordingly, resulting in the change of the pressure. The expansion tank 170 provides sufficient volume expansion or contraction space for the lubricating oil, avoids the problem of pipeline damage caused by excessive or insufficient pressure in the pipeline, and improves the stability of the electric vehicle cooling system. The expansion tank 170 can also function as oil supplementing. When the lubricating oil consumption in the pipeline decreases, the expansion tank 170 can supplement the lubricating oil in the pipeline in time.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation device can comprise an air-cooled radiator. As shown in FIG. 18, the heat dissipation device comprises an air-cooled radiator 180. Figure 1As shown, the heat dissipation device includes an air-cooled radiator 161, which includes a cooling fan. Lubricating oil within the pipes exchanges heat with the air-cooled radiator 161, transferring heat to its surface. The cooling fan rotates, increasing the airflow speed across the surface of the air-cooled radiator 161 and improving heat dissipation efficiency. For example, the surface of the air-cooled radiator 161 is provided with multiple heat dissipation fins to increase the contact area with the outside air and further improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat dissipation device can be a cooling circuit, which is used for cooling and exchanges heat with the lubricating oil through the coolant in the circuit to cool the lubricating oil and accelerate the cooling speed of the lubricating oil.

[0069] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another electric vehicle cooling system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, the heat dissipation device may include a refrigeration circuit, which includes an air conditioning heat exchanger 162, a coolant pump 163, and an air conditioning refrigeration unit 164. The oil inlet of the air conditioning heat exchanger 162 is connected to the second oil outlet (3) of the three-way valve 140, and the oil outlet of the air conditioning heat exchanger 162 is connected to the oil inlet of the motor cooler 120. The liquid inlet of the air conditioning heat exchanger 162 is connected to the liquid outlet of the air conditioning refrigeration unit 164, and the liquid outlet of the air conditioning heat exchanger 162 is connected to the liquid inlet of the coolant pump 163. The liquid outlet of the coolant pump 163 is connected to the liquid inlet of the air conditioning refrigeration unit 164.

[0070] The air conditioning refrigeration unit 164 is used to cool the coolant in the cooling circuit. The cooled coolant is sent to the air conditioning heat exchanger 162 to exchange heat with the lubricating fluid, thereby cooling the lubricating fluid. After heat exchange, the coolant is pressurized by the coolant pump 163 and then flows back to the air conditioning refrigeration unit 164. The vehicle controller 110 is connected to both the air conditioning refrigeration unit 164 and the coolant pump 163 to control them.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, to increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation device and accelerate the cooling rate of the lubricating oil, the heat dissipation device may include a heat exchanger, an electric water pump, an air-cooled radiator, and an expansion tank.

The water inlet of the expansion tank is connected to the water outlet of the electric water pump, and the water outlet of the expansion tank is connected to the water inlet of the heat exchanger. Both the electric water pump and the air-cooled radiator are connected to the vehicle controller.

[0072] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another electric vehicle cooling system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, the heat dissipation device is further improved and may include a heat exchanger 165, an electric water pump 166, an air-cooled radiator 161, and an expansion tank 167. The oil inlet of the heat exchanger 165 is connected to the second oil outlet (3) of the three-way valve 140, and the oil outlet of the heat exchanger 165 is connected to the oil inlet of the motor cooler 120.

Both the electric water pump 166 and the air-cooled radiator 161 are connected to the vehicle controller 110. The vehicle controller 110 is used to control the operation of the electric water pump 166 and the air-cooled radiator 161, for example, rotation speed control, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0073] The high-temperature lubricating oil flowing from the second oil outlet (3) of the three-way valve 140 exchanges heat with water in the heat exchanger 165, thereby cooling the lubricating oil. After the heat exchange, the high-temperature water is sent to the air-cooled radiator by the electric water pump 166 for heat dissipation, and then flows back to the heat exchanger 165 to continue exchanging heat with the lubricating oil. The electric water pump 166 is used to pressurize the water in the pipeline and maintain the water circulation process.

Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment is in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, the single-motor drive is changed to a dual-motor drive. For example, the electric vehicle cooling system includes a vehicle controller 110, a first motor cooler 121, a second motor cooler 122, a first fuel injection pump 131, a second fuel injection pump 132, a first three-way valve 141, a second three-way valve 142, a first electric oil pump 151, a second electric oil pump 152, and a heat dissipation device 160.

[0080] The first motor cooler 121 and the second motor cooler 122 are respectively used for cooling the first motor and the second motor of the electric vehicle. The oil outlet of the first motor cooler 121 is connected with the oil inlet of the first oil injection pump 131, the oil outlet of the first oil injection pump 131 is connected with the oil inlet (1) of the second three-way valve 142, the first oil injection pump 131 is used for spraying oil to the gear of the first reducer connected with the first motor.

The oil outlet of the first electric oil pump 151 is connected with the oil inlet (1) of the first three-way valve 141, the first oil outlet (2) of the first three-way valve 141 is connected with the oil inlet of the first motor cooler 121, the second oil outlet (3) of the first three-way valve 141 is connected with the oil inlet of the heat dissipation device 160, and the oil outlet of the heat dissipation device 160 is connected with the oil inlet of the first motor cooler 121.

[0081] For example, when the external environment temperature is lower than the preset temperature (for example, 35℃), and the oil temperature of the lubricating oil in the first oil injection pump 131 or the second oil injection pump 132 is lower than the first preset value (for example, 80℃), the vehicle controller 110 controls the oil inlet (1) and the first oil outlet (2) of the first three-way valve 141 to be connected, the oil inlet (1) and the second oil outlet (3) to be closed, the oil inlet (1) and the first oil outlet (2) of the second three-way valve 142 to be connected, the oil inlet (1) and the second oil outlet (3) to be closed, the circuit composed of the first electric oil pump 151, the first motor cooler 121 and the first oil injection pump 131 to be connected, the circuit in which the heat dissipation device 160 is located to be closed, and the circuit in which the second electric oil pump 152 and the second motor cooler 122 are located to be closed, so that the heat generated by the operation of the first motor can quickly heat the lubricating oil.

Figure 4 The embodiments shown have been described in detail, and the embodiments of the present invention will not be repeated here.

[0086] This invention also provides a control method for an electric vehicle cooling system. Figure 9 A flowchart of a control method for an electric vehicle cooling system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 9 As shown, the method includes:

[0087] S101, when the oil temperature in the fuel injection pump is lower than a first preset value, the vehicle controller controls the three-way valve to connect the circuit formed by the electric oil pump, the motor cooler and the fuel injection pump.

[0088] For example, as shown in the embodiment, Figures 2-4 The oil temperature sensor is arranged in the fuel injection pump 130 to monitor the oil temperature in the fuel injection pump and feed back to the vehicle controller 110. When the oil temperature is lower than a first preset value (for example, 80℃), the vehicle controller 110 controls the three-way valve 140 to connect the inlet (1) and the first outlet (2) and shut off the inlet (1) and the second outlet (3), so as to connect the circuit formed by the electric oil pump 150, the motor cooler 120 and the fuel injection pump 130 and shut off the circuit in which the heat dissipating device 160 is arranged, so that the lubricating oil can be quickly heated by the heat generated by the operation of the motor.

[0089] For example, as shown in the embodiment, Figures 5-8 For example, as shown in the embodiment,

[0090] S102, when the heat generated by the operation of the motor of the electric vehicle makes the oil temperature rise to a second preset value, the vehicle controller controls the three-way valve to connect the circuit formed by the electric oil pump, the heat dissipating device, the motor cooler and the fuel injection pump.

[0091] After the lubricating oil is heated, the oil temperature rises. When the heat generated by the operation of the motor of the electric vehicle makes the oil temperature rise to a second preset value (for example, 85℃), the vehicle controller controls the three-way valve to connect the circuit formed by the electric oil pump, the heat dissipating device, the motor cooler and the fuel injection pump. Figures 1-4As shown, the vehicle controller 110 controls the oil inlet (1) and the second oil outlet (3) of the three-way valve 140 to connect, and the oil inlet (1) and the first oil outlet (2) to close, connecting the circuit consisting of the electric oil pump 150, the cooling device 160, the motor cooler 120, and the fuel injection pump 130. The vehicle controller 110 controls the cooling device 160 to work, cooling the lubricating oil in the pipeline. The cooled lubricating oil is sprayed onto the gears of the reducer through the nozzle of the fuel injection pump 130, providing the reducer with lubricating oil at a suitable temperature, avoiding the problem of excessively high lubricating oil temperature, which would cause the lubricating oil to deteriorate, affecting the lubrication effect of the reducer, and thus affecting the life of the reducer, thereby improving the service life of the lubricating oil and the reducer.

[0092] For four-wheel drive electric vehicles, when the heat generated by the electric motor causes the oil temperature to rise to a second preset value (e.g., 85°C), such as Figures 5-8 As shown, the vehicle controller 110 controls the oil inlet (1) and the second oil outlet (3) of the first three-way valve 141 to connect, and the oil inlet (1) and the first oil outlet (2) to close, connecting the circuit formed by the first electric oil pump 151, the cooling device 160, the first motor cooler 121, and the first fuel injection pump 131. Simultaneously, the vehicle controller 110 controls the oil inlet (1) and the second oil outlet (3) of the second three-way valve 142 to connect, and the oil inlet (1) and the first oil outlet (2) to close, connecting the circuit formed by the second electric oil pump 152, the cooling device 160, the second motor cooler 122, and the second fuel injection pump 132. The vehicle controller 110 controls the cooling device 160 to operate, cooling the lubricating oil in the pipeline.

[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, during the heating of lubricating oil (i.e., the circuit where the heat dissipation device is located is not connected), the rotational speed of the electric oil pump is inversely proportional to the oil temperature, and the load of the fuel injection pump is directly proportional to the rotational speed of the output shaft of the reducer.

[0094] During the process of cooling the lubricating oil (i.e., when the circuit containing the heat dissipation device is connected), the speed of the electric oil pump is directly proportional to the oil temperature, and the load of the fuel injection pump is directly proportional to the speed of the output shaft of the reducer.

[0095] For example, during the heating of lubricating oil, when the oil temperature in the injection pump is below a certain value T1_oil1 (e.g., -10℃), the electric oil pump operates at a high speed (80%–100% of its maximum speed); when the oil temperature is greater than or equal to -10℃ but less than 10℃, the electric oil pump operates at a medium speed (50%–80% of its maximum speed); when the oil temperature measured by the first oil temperature sensor is greater than or equal to 10℃, the electric oil pump operates at a low speed (30%–50% of its maximum speed). The lower the oil temperature, the faster the electric oil pump rotates, which accelerates the circulation of the lubricating oil at lower temperatures, thereby accelerating the temperature rise of the lubricating oil and allowing it to heat up quickly.

[0096] In the process of cooling the lubricating oil, when the oil temperature is greater than a first constant value (for example, 110 DEG C), the electric oil pump works at a high speed (80%~100% of the highest speed); when the oil temperature measured by the first oil temperature sensor is less than or equal to the first constant value (for example, 110 DEG C) and greater than a second constant value (for example, 100 DEG C), the electric oil pump works at a medium speed (50%~80% of the highest speed); when the oil temperature measured by the first oil temperature sensor is less than or equal to the second constant value (for example, 100 DEG C), the electric oil pump works at a low speed (30%~50% of the highest speed). The higher the oil temperature, the faster the speed of the electric oil pump, so that the circulation of the lubricating oil is accelerated in the case of high oil temperature, and the heat dissipation of the lubricating oil in the heat dissipation device is accelerated, so that the lubricating oil is rapidly cooled.

[0097] For example, when the speed of the output shaft of the speed reducer is 750 rpm, the load of the oil injection pump is 30%; when the speed of the output shaft of the speed reducer is 1000 rpm, the load of the oil injection pump is 40%; when the speed of the output shaft of the speed reducer is 1500 rpm, the load of the oil injection pump is 90%. The faster the speed of the output shaft of the speed reducer, the greater the load of the oil injection pump, and the greater the flow of the oil injection, thereby avoiding the problem that the gears of the speed reducer rotate too much and the lubricating oil cannot wet all the gears, and improving the transmission efficiency and service life of the gears.
