[0058] In addition, when the fuel cell system controller judges that the real-time temperature T01 reported by the fuel cell stack 1 on the CAN (controller area network) exceeds the maximum allowable temperature, the vehicle enters a fault mode, the fuel cell system controller limits the output power of the fuel cell stack 1, the vehicle instrument displays a power limitation indicator light, and the first water pump 5 and the first fan 8 in the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit remain unchanged at the rotation speed of the last working condition.

[0061] (3) Fuel cell stack heating
[0062] During discharging and charging of the vehicle, the fuel cell system controller determines whether the fuel cell system needs to be heated according to the real-time temperature T01 of the fuel cell stack 1; when the real-time temperature T01 of the fuel cell stack 1 is less than the second preset temperature T2, a heating signal is sent to the vehicle controller, and the vehicle controller controls the first three-way valve 9 and the second three-way valve 10 in the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit to act according to the heating signal fed back by the fuel cell system, so that the first three-way valve 9, the first water pump 5, the second three-way valve 10, the heat exchanger 4 and the circuit in which the fuel cell stack 1 is located are communicated, and at least one of the drive motor thermal management circuit, the power battery thermal management circuit 300 and the heating circuit 400 is driven to heat the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit, so as to heat the fuel cell stack 1 and make the fuel cell stack 1 work in a suitable temperature range.

In addition, when the real-time temperature T02 of the drive motor thermal management circuit and the real-time temperature T03 of the power battery thermal management circuit 300 are higher than the real-time temperature T01 of the fuel cell stack 1, the heater heating mode is exited.

In addition, when the real-time temperature T03 of the power battery thermal management circuit 300 is greater than the real-time temperature T02 of the drive motor thermal management circuit, the drive motor thermal management circuit heating mode is exited.
[0065] Power battery thermal management circuit heating mode: when the real-time temperature T03 of the power battery thermal management circuit 300 is greater than the real-time temperature T02 of the drive motor thermal management circuit, and the real-time temperature T02 of the drive motor thermal management circuit is greater than the real-time temperature T01 of the fuel cell stack 1, the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit is controlled to exchange heat with the power battery thermal management circuit 300, so as to heat the liquid in the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit through the power battery thermal management circuit 300. In addition, when the real-time temperature T02 of the drive motor thermal management circuit is greater than the real-time temperature T03 of the power battery thermal management circuit 300, the drive motor thermal management circuit heating mode is exited.
[0066] Mixed heating mode: when the real-time temperature T01 of the fuel cell stack 1 is less than the third preset temperature T3, the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit is controlled to exchange heat with the drive motor thermal management circuit and the power battery thermal management circuit 300, so as to heat the liquid in the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit through the drive motor thermal management circuit and the power battery thermal management circuit 300.
[0067] As shown in Figure 3 The vehicle thermal management method includes a drive motor thermal management method, which includes: judging whether the vehicle is in a running state; when the vehicle is not in the running state, judging whether the vehicle is in a charging state; when the vehicle is in the charging state, controlling the liquid in the drive motor thermal management circuit to circulate and flowing, and adjusting the rotation speed of the second water pump 13 and the rotation speed of the second fan 16 in the drive motor thermal management circuit according to the real-time temperature of the on-board charger, so as to ensure that the on-board charger works in a suitable temperature range; when the vehicle is in the running state, obtaining the real-time temperature of each high-voltage component 17 in the vehicle, and controlling the rotation speed of the second water pump 13 and the rotation speed of the second fan 16 according to the highest real-time temperature in the real-time temperature of each high-voltage component 17, so as to ensure that each high-voltage component 17 works in a suitable temperature range.
[0068] Among them, each high-voltage component 17 in the vehicle includes all high-voltage components in the vehicle that need to be thermally managed, which are collectively referred to here, and will not be described in detail, and the series and parallel connection mode of these high-voltage components will not be discussed here.
[0069] The fuel cell stack thermal management method of the application is as follows:
[0070] (1) Running condition cooling
[0071] The vehicle controller controls the rotation speed of the second water pump 13 and the rotation speed of the second fan 16 in the drive motor thermal management circuit according to the duty cycle corresponding to the highest real-time temperature in the real-time temperature of each high-voltage component, so as to ensure that each high-voltage component 17 works in a suitable temperature range.
[0072] (2) Charging condition cooling
[0073] In the charging condition, only the on-board charger (i.e. OBC) of the high-voltage component is working, so the vehicle controller adjusts the rotation speed of the second water pump 13 and the rotation speed of the second fan 16 in the drive motor thermal management circuit according to the real-time temperature of the on-board charger, so as to ensure that the on-board charger works in a suitable temperature range.
[0074] (3) Other condition cooling
[0075] When the whole vehicle is driving or the charging is finished, the whole vehicle controller needs to control the second water pump 13 and the second fan 16 in the drive motor thermal management loop to delay the working state, so as to avoid that a certain area in the interior has a large temperature rise in a short time.
[0076] Note: When the whole vehicle controller judges that the temperature of each high-voltage component 17 reported in the CAN network exceeds the maximum allowable temperature, the whole vehicle enters a fault mode, the whole vehicle controller limits the power of the whole vehicle, the instrument of the vehicle displays the power limiting indicator light, and the second water pump 13 and the second fan 16 keep the same speed as the last working condition.
[0077] As shown in Figure 4 The vehicle thermal management method includes a power battery thermal management method, which includes: when the vehicle is in a discharging process or a charging process, an real-time temperature point T04 of the power battery 3 is obtained, and the size relationship between T04 and a fourth preset temperature T4 and a fifth preset temperature T5 is judged; when T04>T4, the vehicle thermal management system is controlled to enter a power battery cooling mode, the third water pump 23 is started, the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 is controlled to circulate and pass through the third water pump 23, the power battery 3, the fifth three-way valve 20 and the heat exchanger 4 in turn, and the power battery thermal management loop 300 is made to exchange heat with the refrigeration loop 500, so as to cool the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the refrigeration loop 500; when T4≥T04≥T5, the vehicle thermal management system is controlled to enter a power battery uniform heating mode, the third water pump 23 is started, and the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 is controlled to circulate and pass through the third water pump 23, the power battery 3, the fifth three-way valve 20 and the heat exchanger 4 in turn; when T04
[0078] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the power battery thermal management method comprises: acquiring real-time temperature T05 in the fuel cell stack thermal management loop and real-time temperature T02 in the driving motor thermal management loop, and judging the size relationship among T02, T04 and T05; when T05=T02=T04, controlling the power battery thermal management loop 300 to exchange heat with the heating loop 400, so as to heat the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the heating loop 400; when T02>T05>T04, controlling the power battery thermal management loop 300 to exchange heat with the driving motor thermal management loop, so as to heat the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the driving motor thermal management loop; when T05>T02>T04, controlling the power battery thermal management loop 300 to exchange heat with the fuel cell stack thermal management loop, so as to heat the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the fuel cell stack thermal management loop; and when T04 is less than the sixth preset temperature T6, controlling the power battery thermal management loop 300 to exchange heat with the driving motor thermal management loop and the fuel cell stack thermal management loop, so as to heat the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the driving motor thermal management loop and the fuel cell stack thermal management loop.
[0079] Specifically, the power battery management system controller (i.e. BMS) judges the thermal load state of the power battery management system according to the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3, and the power battery thermal management method of the application is as follows:
[0080] (1) Power battery cooling
[0081] When the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3 is greater than the fourth preset temperature T4, the third water pump 23 is started, the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 is controlled to circulate and flow through the third water pump 23, the power battery 3, the fifth three-way valve 20 and the heat exchanger 4 in turn, and the power battery thermal management loop 300 exchanges heat with the refrigeration loop 500, so as to cool the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the refrigeration loop 500. At the same time, the vehicle controller adjusts the opening and closing of the battery cooling loop water pump, the fan gear of the refrigeration device and the working state of the compressor according to different temperature points of the battery, so as to ensure that the power battery 3 works in an appropriate temperature range.
[0082] In addition, after the power battery cooling is completed, the power battery management system controller needs to control the delayed working state of the third water pump 23 in the power battery thermal management loop 300 and the fan in the refrigeration device 25, so as to avoid that a certain area of the power battery 3 has a large temperature rise in a short time.
[0083] (2) Power battery uniform heating
[0084] Uniform heating mode: when the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3 is between the fourth preset temperature T4 and the fifth preset temperature T5, the vehicle thermal management system is controlled to enter the power battery uniform heating mode, the third water pump 23 is started, and the fourth three-way valve 19 and the fifth three-way valve 20 are controlled to act, so that the third water pump 23, the power battery 3, the fifth three-way valve 20 and the heat exchanger 4 are communicated, to ensure the circulation flow of the liquid in the brake power battery thermal management circuit 300, thereby avoiding the accumulation of heat rising.
[0085] (3) Power battery heating
[0086] The power battery management system (BMS) monitors the battery temperature by the temperature sensor arranged in the power battery 3 to determine whether the power battery 3 needs to be heated. When the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3 is less than the fifth preset temperature T5, the power battery management system controller sends a heating signal to the vehicle controller, and the vehicle controller determines to start which heating mode according to the real-time temperature of the power battery 3.

In addition, when the real-time temperature T02 of the drive motor thermal management circuit and the real-time temperature T05 of the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit are higher than the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3, the heater heating mode is exited.
[0088] Drive motor thermal management circuit heating mode: when the real-time temperature T02 in the drive motor thermal management circuit is greater than the real-time temperature T05 in the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit, and the real-time temperature T05 in the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit is greater than the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3, the power battery thermal management circuit 300 is controlled to exchange heat with the drive motor thermal management circuit, so as to heat the liquid in the power battery thermal management circuit 300 through the drive motor thermal management circuit. In addition, when the real-time temperature T03 of the fuel cell stack thermal management circuit is greater than the real-time temperature T02 of the drive motor thermal management circuit, the drive motor thermal management circuit heating mode is exited.
[0089] When the real-time temperature T05 in the fuel cell stack thermal management loop is greater than the real-time temperature T02 in the driving motor thermal management loop, and the real-time temperature T02 in the driving motor thermal management loop is greater than the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3, the power battery thermal management loop 300 and the fuel cell stack thermal management loop are controlled to heat the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the fuel cell stack thermal management loop. In addition, when the real-time temperature T02 of the driving motor thermal management loop is greater than the real-time temperature T03 of the fuel cell stack thermal management loop, the driving motor thermal management loop heating mode is exited.
[0090] When the real-time temperature T04 of the power battery 3 is less than the sixth preset temperature T6, the power battery thermal management loop 300 is controlled to exchange heat with the driving motor thermal management loop and the fuel cell stack thermal management loop to heat the liquid in the power battery thermal management loop 300 through the driving motor thermal management loop and the fuel cell stack thermal management loop.
