Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of thermal management system technology, and in particular to a thermal management system for electric vehicles with waste heat utilization function. Background Technology
[0002] New energy vehicles are widely used in today's society. The thermal management system of new energy vehicles is applied to the whole vehicle. It is a thermal management system formed by the combination of key automotive components. Through coordination, it enables each component to work within its appropriate operating range.
[0003] The current thermal management system's water circuit consists of a four-way water valve, two three-way water valves, a heater, a water pump, and a heat exchanger to heat the passenger compartment and battery pack, cool the battery pack, cool the motor circuit, and utilize waste heat from the motor circuit. However, when the waste heat from the motor circuit is used to heat the passenger compartment via the heat pump, it must pass through the battery pack, and the battery pack's water pump must also operate. Since the battery pack needs to maintain a certain temperature, this method greatly limits the temperature range for waste heat utilization. Furthermore, the operation of the battery water pump when there is no need for thermal management of the battery pack wastes the vehicle's total power. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the thermal management system disclosed in this application connects the motor to the heat exchanger via a six-way valve, allowing the refrigerant to absorb waste heat from the motor circuit for heating the passenger cabin. This solves the problems of limiting the temperature range for waste heat utilization by responding to the heating needs of the battery pack when using the motor's waste heat to heat the passenger cabin, as well as the problem of having too many thermal management control components, which is not conducive to the integration and modularization of system components.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first connection terminal is connected to the third connection terminal, and the fourth connection terminal is connected to the fifth connection terminal, forming a closed loop with the first connection terminal, the heat exchanger, the battery water pump, the battery pack, the heater core, the electric heater, the heating water pump, and the third connection terminal; and the fourth connection terminal, the motor, the motor water pump, and the fifth connection terminal form a closed loop.
[0018] In some embodiments, the fourth connection terminal, the motor, the motor water pump, the low-temperature water tank, the sixth connection terminal, the first connection terminal, the heat exchanger, the battery water pump, the battery pack, the warm air core, the electric heater, the heating water pump, and the third connection terminal form a closed loop when the first connection terminal is connected to the sixth connection terminal and the third connection terminal is connected to the fourth connection terminal.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. In different embodiments, the same components have the same reference numerals.
[0032] It should be noted that the thermal management system of this application can be applied to new energy electric vehicles. When there is a heating requirement in the passenger compartment, the waste heat of the motor circuit in the vehicle thermal management system can heat the passenger compartment without the need for a heat pump system and electric heating to heat the passenger compartment.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a thermal management system, which may include a six-way valve 1, a heat exchanger 3, a motor 4, a first connecting pipe 23, a battery pack 2, and a motor-driven water pump 10.
[0034] The six-way valve 1 may include a first connecting end 101, a second connecting end 102, a third connecting end 103, a fourth connecting end 104, and a fifth connecting end 105 arranged sequentially.
[0035] One end of the heat exchanger 3 is connected to the first connection end 101, and the other end is connected to the second connection end 102 through the first connection pipe 23.
[0036] One end of the motor 4 is connected to the fourth connection end 104, and the other end is connected to the fifth connection end 105 through the motor pump 10.
[0037] The third connection terminal 103 is connected to the heat exchanger 3 via the battery pack 2.
[0038] When the first connection end 101 and the fifth connection end 105 are connected, and the second connection end 102 and the fourth connection end 104 are connected, the fourth connection end 104, the motor 4, the motor water pump 10, the fifth connection end 105, the first connection end 101, the heat exchanger 3, the first connection pipe 23 and the second connection end 102 form a closed loop. This closed loop can be used for the passenger cabin mode to utilize the waste heat.
[0039] As an example, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 for Figure 2 The refrigerant circuit configuration with the one-way valve 24, the V2 port of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, the electronic expansion valve 14, the shut-off valve 17, and the electronic expansion valve 12 closed, in the mode where waste heat is used for the passenger cabin, can be the gas-liquid separator 18, the compressor 19, the V1 port and V3 port of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, the indoor condenser 9, the one-way valve 11, the electronic expansion valve 6, and the heat exchanger 3 connected in sequence.
[0040] As an example, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 for Figure 2 The refrigerant circuit configuration with the one-way valve 24, the V2 port of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, the electronic expansion valve 6, and the electronic expansion valve 12 closed, in the mode where waste heat is used for the passenger cabin, can be the outdoor heat exchanger 15, the shut-off valve 17, the gas-liquid separator 18, the compressor 19, the V1 port and V3 port of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, the indoor condenser 9, the one-way valve 11, and the electronic expansion valve 14 connected in sequence.
[0041] In this context, refrigerant is an intermediate substance in the refrigeration process. It can be a gaseous, liquid, or solid refrigerant. Gaseous refrigerants can include air, liquid refrigerants can include water, brine, etc., and solid refrigerants can include ice, dry ice, etc. As described in the example above, the refrigerant circuit in the waste heat utilization passenger cabin mode can be as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 5 The flow occurs simultaneously, passing through the outdoor heat exchanger 15, shut-off valve 17, heat exchanger 3, electronic expansion valve 6, gas-liquid separator 18, compressor 19, the V1 and V3 ports of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, the indoor condenser 9, check valve 11, and electronic expansion valve 14. If the battery pack requires heating, the three-way valve can be adjusted proportionally, opening all three ports.
[0042] The waste heat is used in the passenger cabin mode when the coolant temperature after the motor circuit is insulated is above -10℃. For example, in winter, when the motor circuit water temperature is insulated to a certain temperature, the refrigerant circuit heat pump mode can adjust the electronic expansion valve 6 to allow the refrigerant to absorb the waste heat of the motor circuit from the heat exchanger 3, thereby increasing the COP (COP: the ratio of the cooling capacity required by the refrigeration system to the heating capacity and the shaft power) of the heat pump system and reducing energy consumption. At this time, the refrigerant circuit absorbs the waste heat of the motor circuit from the heat exchanger 3 to heat the passenger cabin, making full use of the temperature range of waste heat utilization.
[0043] This thermal management system simplifies the existing thermal management system loop through the design of the first connecting pipe 23; and combined with the setting of the six-way valve 1, it reduces the number of thermal management control components, simplifies the layout, and facilitates the integration and modularization of system components. When the first connecting end 101 and the fifth connecting end 105 are connected, and the second connecting end 102 and the fourth connecting end 104 are connected, the refrigerant circuit absorbs the waste heat from the motor circuit from the heat exchanger 3 to heat the passenger compartment, without having to pass through the battery pack 2 and heat the battery pack 2, thus fully utilizing the temperature range of waste heat utilization.
[0044] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the six-way valve may also include a sixth connection end 106, which is connected to the motor pump 10 and the motor 4 through the low-temperature water tank 16.
[0045] The thermal management system is connected to the sixth connection terminal 106 via the fourth connection terminal 104. The motor 4 is connected in series with the low-temperature water tank 16, so that the motor 4 can dissipate heat through the low-temperature water tank 16.
[0046] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system may also include a motor circuit, which may be formed by the motor-pump 10, the low-temperature water tank 16, and the motor 4 connected in sequence.
[0047] The thermal management system connects the motor 4 in series with the low-temperature water tank 16, allowing the motor 4 to dissipate heat through the low-temperature water tank 16.
[0048] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the three-way valve 7 may include a V1 port connected to the heating core 8, a V2 port connected to the heating water pump 21, and a V3 port connected to the battery water pump 5. The thermal management system may also include a battery circuit, one end of which is connected to the battery pack 2 through the V2 port of the three-way valve 7, and the other end of which is connected to the heat exchanger 3 and the battery water pump 5 through the V3 port of the three-way valve 7.
[0049] The thermal management system can meet the cooling or heating needs of battery pack 2 by selecting the opening port of the three-way valve 7.
[0050] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system may also include a heating circuit, one end of which is connected to the heating core 8 through the V1 port of the three-way valve 7, and the other end is connected to the heating water pump 21 and the electric heater 22 through the V2 port of the three-way valve 7.
[0051] The thermal management system can supplement the heat to the battery pack 2 or passenger cabin through the electric heater 22 of the heating circuit.
[0052] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system may also include a refrigerant circuit, which is formed by a gas-liquid separator 18, a compressor 19, a three-way refrigerant valve 20, an indoor condenser 9, and a heat exchanger 3 connected in sequence.
[0053] The thermal management system absorbs waste heat from the motor circuit through the refrigerant circuit in the heat exchanger 3 to heat the passenger cabin, making full use of the temperature range for waste heat utilization.
[0054] Based on the structure of the aforementioned thermal management system, the thermal management system can have several modes. As an example, it may include a default mode, a motor insulation mode, a battery low-temperature heat dissipation mode, a waste heat heating battery mode, and a waste heat utilization mode for the passenger cabin mode; this application does not limit the specific modes.
[0055] When in the default mode, with the first connection terminal 101 and the third connection terminal 103 connected, and the fourth connection terminal 104 and the sixth connection terminal 106 connected, the fourth connection terminal 104, the motor 4, the motor water pump 10, the low-temperature water tank 16 and the sixth connection terminal 106 form a closed loop, and the first connection terminal 101, the heat exchanger 3, the battery water pump 5, the battery pack 2, the warm air core 8, the electric heater 22, the heating water pump 21 and the third connection terminal 103 form a closed loop.
[0056] In the default mode of the six-way valve 1, the motor 4 dissipates heat through the low-temperature water tank 16. If the battery pack 2 has a cooling requirement, the V1 and V2 ports of the three-way valve 7 are opened, the battery pack 2 is cooled, and the battery pack 2 is heated by the electric heater 22. This default mode can realize the functions of using the waste heat of the battery pack 2 to supplement the passenger cabin and to de-ice.
[0057] When in motor insulation mode, with the first connection terminal 101 and the third connection terminal 103 connected, and the fourth connection terminal 104 and the fifth connection terminal 105 connected, the first connection terminal 101, heat exchanger 3, battery water pump 5, battery pack 2, warm air core 8, electric heater 22, heating water pump 21 and the third connection terminal 103 form a closed loop; the fourth connection terminal 104, motor 4, motor water pump 10 and the fifth connection terminal 105 form a closed loop.
[0058] In the motor insulation mode of the six-way valve 1, the motor circuit does not pass through the low-temperature water tank 16. During motor operation, it can heat the water circuit, which then maintains its own temperature. When the water temperature reaches the temperature at which waste heat can be utilized, it switches to another mode. In this mode, the heating circuit and battery circuit function the same as in the default state. The temperature at which waste heat can be utilized can refer to the temperature of the heating battery pack or passenger compartment, for example, -10 to 40°C.
[0059] When the battery is in low-temperature heat dissipation mode, with the first connection terminal 101 and the sixth connection terminal 106 connected, and the third connection terminal 103 and the fourth connection terminal 104 connected, the fourth connection terminal 104, the motor 4, the motor water pump 10, the low-temperature water tank 16, the sixth connection terminal 106, the first connection terminal 101, the heat exchanger 3, the battery water pump 5, the battery pack 2, the warm air core 8, the electric heater 22, the heating water pump 21, and the third connection terminal 103 form a closed loop.
[0060] In the low-temperature cooling mode of the six-way valve 1, the application scenario can be vehicle idling, with the ambient temperature lower than the battery pack 2's body temperature by a certain value. During fast or slow charging of the battery pack 2, the battery circuit, motor circuit, and low-temperature water tank form a closed-loop circuit in series. The electric fan operates, dissipating the battery pack's heat into the environment through the low-temperature water tank 16. The compressor 19 does not need to be turned on to cool the battery pack 2 using refrigerant, achieving energy savings. This mode is suitable for spring, autumn, or winter. Simultaneously, this mode does not affect the supplemental heating function of the passenger compartment's electric heater 22. If the battery pack 2 requires cooling, the V1 and V2 ports of the three-way valve 7 are opened. The "certain value" can be, for example, 3-10℃.
[0061] When in waste heat heating battery mode, with the first connection terminal 101 and the fifth connection terminal 105 connected, and the third connection terminal 103 and the fourth connection terminal 104 connected, the fourth connection terminal 104, motor 4, motor water pump 10, fifth connection terminal 105, first connection terminal 101, heat exchanger 3, battery water pump 5, battery pack 2, warm air core 8, electric heater 22, heating water pump 21 and third connection terminal 103 form a closed loop.
[0062] In the waste heat heating battery mode of the six-way valve 1, the application scenario is that the coolant temperature after the motor circuit insulation is higher than the target inlet water temperature required by the battery pack 2. For example, when the machine is running at high speed for a long time, the battery circuit and the motor circuit (excluding the low-temperature water tank 16) form a closed loop. This mode does not affect the heat replenishment function of the electric heater 22 in the passenger compartment. If the battery pack 2 has a cooling requirement, the V1 and V2 ports of the three-way valve 7 will be opened. The target inlet water temperature can be more than 5°C higher than the target water temperature of the battery pack 2.
[0063] Accordingly, the refrigerant circuits for different modes can be referenced. Figures 4-6 .
[0064] As an example, with the thermal management system in default mode, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 for Figure 2 In the case where the refrigerant circuit is closed at port V2 of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, check valve 24, and electronic expansion valve 6, the three-way refrigerant valve 20 may include port V1 connected to compressor 19, port V3 connected to indoor condenser 9, and port V2 connected to outdoor heat exchanger 15. In this case, the refrigerant circuit consists of, in sequence: outdoor heat exchanger 15, shut-off valve 17, evaporator 13, gas-liquid separator 18, compressor 19, ports V1 and V3 of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, indoor condenser 9, electronic expansion valve 12, check valve 11, and electronic expansion valve 14.
[0065] As an example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the refrigerant circuit consists of an outdoor heat exchanger 15, a shut-off valve 17, a gas-liquid separator 18, a compressor 19, the V1 port and V3 port of a three-way refrigerant valve 20, an indoor condenser 9, a one-way valve 11, and an electronic expansion valve 14, connected in sequence.
[0066] As an example, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 for Figure 2 When the V3 port of the three-way refrigerant valve 20, the one-way valve 11, and the electronic expansion valve 14 are closed, the refrigerant circuit consists of the outdoor heat exchanger 15, the one-way valve 24, the electronic expansion valve 12, the electronic expansion valve 6, the evaporator 13, the heat exchanger 3, the gas-liquid separator 18, the compressor 19, and the V1 and V2 ports of the three-way refrigerant valve 20 connected in sequence.

[0068] As an example, when the thermal management system is in battery low-temperature heat dissipation mode, the cold loop medium can be as follows: Figure 4 or Figure 5 or Figure 6 As shown above, please refer to the description for details, which will not be repeated here.
[0069] As an example, when the thermal management system is in waste heat heating battery mode, the refrigerant circuit can be as follows: Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown above, please refer to the description for details, which will not be repeated here.

Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application shall still fall within the scope of this application.
