In addition, a first expansion valve 44 is arranged on the second pipeline, and a second expansion valve 45 is arranged between the connection point between the second pipeline and the first pipeline and the third heat exchanger 48.

[0068] A refrigerant high pressure sensor 46 is provided between the compressor 41 and the condenser 42 , and a refrigerant temperature and pressure sensor 47 is provided between the compressor 41 and the third heat exchanger 48 .

[0069] Furthermore, the condenser 42 in the air-conditioning refrigeration circuit 4 and the motor heat dissipation module 51 in the motor heat dissipation pipeline 5 are arranged at one position and share one electronic fan, which can save installation space and cost.

[0070] When the air-conditioning refrigeration circuit 4 is used to cool the cab, the second expansion valve 45 is closed, the first expansion valve 44 is opened, the compressor 41, the condenser 42 and the air-conditioning refrigeration unit 43 are turned on, and the second circuit formed by the compressor 41, the condenser 42 and the air-conditioning refrigeration unit 43 is used to cool the cab.

[0071] When the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 4 is used to cool the power battery, the second a port and the second b port in the six-way valve 8 are connected, the first f port and the first d port of the first three-way valve 72 in the five-way valve 7 are connected, the battery circulation water pump 34 is turned on, the compressor 41 is turned on, the electronic fan in the motor cooling module 51 is started, the second expansion valve 45 is turned on, and the first expansion valve 44 is closed. The condenser 42 of the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 4 uses the electronic fan in the motor cooling module 51 to dissipate heat, and the coolant in the power battery temperature control circuit 3 exchanges heat with the air conditioning refrigerant in the third heat exchanger 48, and the air conditioning refrigerant is used to cool the coolant, and the cooled coolant dissipates heat to the battery.

[0072] In addition, when the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 or the air conditioning heating circuit 2 performs heat exchange with the power battery temperature control circuit, the second port a and the second port b in the six-way valve 8 are connected.

[0073] In addition, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1, the air conditioning heating circuit 2, the power battery temperature control circuit 3, the motor heat dissipation pipeline 5 and the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6 are coordinated and controlled through the collaborative management control system to achieve energy exchange between the fuel cell, the cab, the battery and the electric drive system, thereby achieving mutual utilization of heat energy between the fuel cell, the cab, the battery and the electric drive system, reducing the heat energy waste of the whole vehicle and improving the efficiency of the thermal management system of the whole vehicle.

[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, the collaborative management and control system includes a battery demand management control module, an electric drive system demand management control module (i.e., a motor and accessories demand management control module), a fuel cell system demand management control module, a cab demand management control module, and a collaborative decision-making management control module.

[0075] The fuel cell demand management control module determines whether the fuel cell needs to be heated or cooled based on signals such as the temperature of the coolant at the inlet and outlet of the fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16, the power of the fuel cell system, and the operating status of the fuel cell system, thereby outputting control requirements for the first water pump 15, the cooling module 13, the third three-way valve 12, the five-way valve 7, the PTC heater 22, and the warm air water pump 21.

[0076] The battery demand management control module determines whether the battery needs heating, cooling or self-circulation of equal temperature by receiving information such as the maximum temperature, minimum temperature, battery current, and vehicle operating conditions of the battery, and collects temperature signals of the battery water inlet temperature sensor 35 and the battery water outlet temperature sensor 36. At the same time, the battery is judged by the ambient temperature whether it is cooled by the air conditioning system or the motor heat dissipation module assembly, as well as the source of heat. After the judgment is completed, the control requirements for the compressor 41, condenser 42, first water pump 15, cooling module 13, third three-way valve 12, six-way valve 8, five-way valve 7, first expansion valve 44, second expansion valve 45, PTC heater 22 and warm air water pump 21, motor circulation water pump 62 and electronic fan of motor heat dissipation module 51 are output.

[0077] The electric drive system demand management control module determines whether the electric drive system needs heat dissipation by receiving temperature and current information of the motor, motor controller, DCDC, all-in-one controller, fuel cell DCDC, fuel cell air compressor and its controller, and collects temperature signals from the motor water inlet temperature sensor 63 and the motor water outlet temperature sensor 64, thereby outputting control requirements for components such as the electronic fan, six-way valve 8 and motor circulating water pump 62 of the motor heat dissipation module 51.

[0078] The cab demand management control module receives the driver's demand and determines whether the cab needs cooling, heating, dehumidification or demisting. After the determination is completed, it outputs the control of the first water pump 15, the cooling module 13, the third three-way valve 12, the six-way valve 8, the five-way valve 7, the PTC heater 22, the warm air water pump 21, the compressor 41, the first expansion valve 44 and the electronic fan of the motor cooling module 51.

[0079] The control requirements of the battery demand management control module, the electric drive system demand management control module, the fuel cell demand management control module, and the cab demand management control module for the thermal management components are input into the collaborative decision management control module for final decision making. The collaborative decision management control module will determine the final requirements of each thermal management component according to the vehicle status and operating conditions. If the collaborative decision management control module only receives the requirements of one of the control modules of the battery demand management control module, the electric drive system demand management control module, the fuel cell demand management control module, and the cab demand management control module, it can output according to the requirements of the control module. When the collaborative decision management control module simultaneously receives the requirements of two or three control modules of the battery demand management control module, the electric drive system demand management control module, the fuel cell demand management control module, and the cab demand management control module, it comprehensively decides the requirements of each module according to the vehicle status and operating conditions. When the battery and the cab have cooling requirements at the same time, the collaborative decision management control module needs to determine whether the battery cooling is prioritized or the cab cooling is prioritized, and the first expansion valve 44 and the second expansion valve 45 are adjusted to achieve the distribution of cooling capacity, and the compressor speed is adjusted according to the battery and cab cooling requirements. In addition to collaboratively arbitrating various thermal management functions, the collaborative decision-making management control module also needs to protect the thermal management system by judging the status of each thermal management component and detecting whether the system and thermal management components are operating beyond limits or abnormally.

[0080] The waste heat utilization control strategy parameter variables are as follows: Tmcin: motor inlet coolant temperature; Tmcout: motor outlet coolant temperature; ΔTm1: motor inlet and outlet coolant temperature difference; Pm: battery utilization motor waste heat reference power; Tbavg: battery average temperature; Tbmax: battery maximum temperature; Tbmin: battery minimum temperature; Tbcin: battery inlet coolant temperature; Tbcin0: battery inlet coolant target temperature; ΔTb1: battery inlet and outlet coolant temperature difference; T1: judgment time; Tfcin: fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 inlet temperature; Tfcin0: fuel cell inlet Inlet coolant entry target temperature; Tfcin1: fuel cell inlet coolant exit target temperature; Tfcin2: fuel cell low-temperature cold start inlet coolant target temperature; Pf1: battery using fuel cell waste heat reference power; Pf2: air conditioning warm air using fuel cell waste heat reference power; Tfcin: fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 inlet temperature; Tfcout: fuel cell outlet coolant temperature; ΔTf1: fuel cell inlet and outlet coolant temperature difference; Tb1: battery end heating battery cell minimum temperature target value; Tccin: warm air inlet coolant temperature; Tccin0: warm air inlet coolant temperature target value.

[0081] In this example, the motor inlet and outlet refer to the inlet and outlet of the motor cooling pipeline, and the battery inlet and outlet refer to the inlet and outlet of the battery cooling pipeline.

[0082] like Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, in addition, the present invention also provides a thermal management method for a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, which is implemented using the above-mentioned thermal management system for a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle, and includes the following steps:

[0083] When the power battery needs to be heated, the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 or the air conditioning heating circuit 2 are connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 to heat the power battery. When the cab needs to be heated, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning heating circuit 2, or the air conditioning heating circuit 2 is self-circulated to heat the cab. When the fuel cell needs to be heated, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning heating circuit 2 to heat the fuel cell.

[0084] This solution enables the fuel cell cooling circuit 1, the air conditioning heating circuit 2, the power battery temperature control circuit 3, the motor heat dissipation pipeline 5 and the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6 to work together, which can not only realize the waste heat utilization of the vehicle's fuel cell, motor and high-voltage electric accessories, but also reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle; only one PTC heater is provided in the air conditioning heating circuit 2 to realize the low-temperature cold start of the fuel cell, cab heating and battery heating functions, thereby reducing the number of PTC heaters and the system cost; the use of five-way regulating valves and six-way regulating valves can improve the system integration and reduce the number of system components while realizing the function of the entire thermal management system.

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments, when the power battery needs to be heated, the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 or the air conditioning heating circuit 2 are connected with the power battery temperature control circuit 3 to heat the power battery, including:

[0086] Determine whether the inlet temperature of the motor cooling pipeline 61 in the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6 is greater than the average temperature of the power battery, and the difference is greater than the set value, and the motor power is greater than or equal to the battery utilizing the motor waste heat reference power:

[0087] If yes, the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7. If no, it is determined whether the inlet temperature of the fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 in the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is greater than the average temperature of the power battery, and the difference is greater than the set value:

[0088] If yes, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7 ; if no, the air conditioning heating circuit 2 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7 .

[0089] In this example, specifically, when the power battery has a heating demand, it is determined that the inlet temperature Tmcin of the motor cooling pipeline 61 ≥ the average temperature Tbavg of the power battery, the difference is greater than 5 degrees Celsius, and the motor power ≥ the battery utilizing the motor waste heat reference power, the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7, and the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6 is used to heat the power battery until the inlet temperature Tmcin of the motor cooling pipeline 61 is < the average temperature Tbavg of the power battery, then the second a port and the second b port of the second four-way valve 81 in the six-way valve 8 are switched to be connected, and the second c port and the second f port are connected.

[0090] When the above conditions are not met, it is determined whether the inlet temperature Tfcin of the fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 in the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is greater than the average temperature Tbavg of the power battery, and the difference is greater than 5 degrees Celsius. And the fuel cell power ≥ the battery utilizing the fuel cell waste heat reference power Pf1. If so, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7, and the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is used to heat the power battery. If not, the air conditioning warm air circuit 2 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7, and the air conditioning warm air circuit 2 is used to heat the power battery until the battery cell minimum temperature Tbmin ≥ the battery end heating battery cell minimum temperature target value Tb1.

[0091] like Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, when the cab needs to be heated, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning heating circuit 2, or the air conditioning heating circuit 2 is self-circulated to heat the cab, including:

[0092] Determine whether the inlet temperature of the fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 in the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is greater than the target temperature of the fuel cell inlet coolant, and whether the fuel cell power is greater than or equal to the air conditioning heating wind utilizing the fuel cell waste heat reference power:

[0093] If yes, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning heating circuit 2 through the five-way valve 7. If no, the air conditioning heating circuit 2 is started to self-circulate to heat the cab.

[0094] Specifically, when the cab needs to be heated, it is determined whether the inlet temperature Tfcin of the fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 ≥ the target temperature Tfcin0 of the fuel cell inlet coolant and the fuel cell power ≥ the reference power Pf2 of the fuel cell waste heat used by the air conditioning heating air. If so, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning heating air circuit 2 through the five-way valve 7, and the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is used to heat the cab. If not, the air conditioning heating air circuit 2 is started to heat the cab by self-circulation, that is, the PTC heater in the air conditioning heating air circuit 2 is started to heat the cab.

[0095] like Figure 7 As shown, when the fuel cell requests heating, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning heating circuit 2 through the five-way valve 7, and the air conditioning heating circuit 2 is used to heat the fuel cell. That is, the PTC heater in the air conditioning heating circuit 2 is started to heat the fuel cell until the inlet temperature Tfcin of the fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 is ≥ the target coolant temperature Tfcin2 of the fuel cell inlet.

[0096] like Figure 8 As shown, in some optional embodiments, when the power battery, the cab and the fuel cell have heating requirements at the same time:

[0097] First, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning heating circuit 2 through the five-way valve 7 to heat the fuel cell;

[0098] When the temperature of the fuel cell meets the requirement, the air conditioning heating circuit 2 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7 to heat the cab and the power battery at the same time.

[0099] When the cab and the fuel cell have heating requirements at the same time, if the inlet temperature Tfcin of the fuel cell temperature control pipeline 16 is ≥ the target temperature Tfcin0 of the fuel cell inlet coolant, and the fuel cell power is ≥ the reference power Pf2 of the fuel cell waste heat used by the air conditioning warm air. At this time, if the battery does not request heating, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1 is connected to the air conditioning warm air circuit 2 through the five-way valve 7, the PTC heater in the air conditioning warm air circuit 2 is started, and the fuel cell is heated by the air conditioning warm air circuit 2; if the battery also requests heating, the first f port and the first c port of the first three-way valve 72 in the five-way valve 7 are connected, the first a port and the first e port of the first four-way valve 71 are connected, and the first b port and the first g port are connected. At this time, the first a port and the first e port of the five-way valve 7 are connected, the first b port and the first c port are connected, and the third a port is the same as the third c port. That is, a large heat exchange is formed between the fuel cell cooling circuit 1, the air conditioning warm air circuit 2 and the power battery temperature control circuit 3. Start the PTC heater 22, and turn on the warm air water pump 21 for heat circulation, turn on the first water pump 15, and turn off the power battery circulation water pump 34 on the power battery temperature control loop 3. The fuel cell cooling loop 1 and the air conditioning warm air loop 2 exchange heat through the first heat exchanger 11. The heat generated by the PTC heater 22 in the air conditioning warm air loop 2 can be transferred to the fuel cell through the air conditioning warm air loop 2 using the first heat exchanger 11, and prepare for power battery heating.

[0100] When the temperature of the fuel cell meets the requirement, the air conditioning warm air circuit 2 is connected to the power battery temperature control circuit 3 through the five-way valve 7, and the heat generated by the PTC heater 22 in the air conditioning warm air circuit 2 heats the cab and the power battery at the same time. The power of the PTC heater 22 is adjusted in real time according to the difference between the warm air inlet coolant temperature Tccin and the warm air target coolant temperature Tccin0; the opening of the first f port and the first c port in the first three-way valve 72 is adjusted in real time according to the difference between the battery inlet coolant temperature Tbcin and the target coolant temperature Tbcin0.

[0101] In a third aspect, the present invention further provides a vehicle, comprising any one of the above-mentioned hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle thermal management systems, and capable of implementing any one of the above-mentioned hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle thermal management methods.

[0102] By adopting the scheme of the present application, the fuel cell cooling circuit 1, the air conditioning heating circuit 2, the power battery temperature control circuit 3, the motor heat dissipation pipeline 5 and the motor and accessory temperature control pipeline 6 can work together, which can not only realize the waste heat utilization of the fuel cell, motor and high-voltage electric accessories of the whole vehicle, but also reduce the energy consumption of the whole vehicle; only one PTC heater is set in the air conditioning heating circuit 2, so as to realize the low-temperature cold start of the fuel cell, the cab heating, and the battery heating functions, reduce the number of PTC heaters, and reduce the system cost; the five-way regulating valve and the six-way regulating valve are adopted, while realizing the function of the entire thermal management system, the system integration is improved, and the number of system components is reduced. By formulating a reasonable control module, the thermal management control program is simplified and the reliability of the thermal management control software is improved. In addition, the heating object battery, cab, fuel cell and heating source motor and high-voltage electric accessory waste heat, fuel cell waste heat and water-PTC are decoupled and controlled, and the motor and high-voltage electric accessory waste heat and fuel cell waste heat are preferentially used, so as to realize the optimal control of the heat source and reduce the system heating power consumption.
