Description

[0002] In recent years, the development of new energy vehicles has entered a stage of acceleration, and their high mileage and high reliability are market demands and inevitable requirements.

[0003] As we all know, electric vehicles, especially their batteries, are severely affected by temperature. In winter, battery range is severely reduced, while in summer, overheating can cause the battery to exceed its normal operating temperature. Furthermore, if the drive motor is not effectively cooled, the internal temperature of the motor will continue to rise, resulting in reduced efficiency. In severe cases, excessive temperatures can cause internal coil erosion or even short circuits, damaging the motor.

[0004] Therefore, to ensure stable and reliable operation of the battery and motor systems, a rational and effective vehicle thermal management and air conditioning system is essential. Currently, electric vehicle thermal management systems are designed independently for the battery thermal management system and the electric drive thermal management system, and are also independent of the vehicle's cabin air conditioning system.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 9 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an automobile thermal management air-conditioning system is provided, including a refrigerant circulation system and a brine circulation system, wherein the refrigerant circulation system includes a refrigerant condenser 11 and a refrigerant evaporator 12 respectively used for heat exchange with the brine circulation system, a throttling element is provided between the two, and a refrigerant series circulation is formed with a compressor 13, the brine circulation system includes an external heat exchanger 21, an internal evaporator 22 for cooling the passenger compartment, and a flow switching component 23, the flow switching component 23 has a first interface 231, a second interface 232, a third interface 233, a fourth interface 234, a fifth interface 235, a sixth interface 236, a seventh interface 237, and an eighth interface 238; on the outside of the flow switching component 23, The motor heat exchange component 24, the external heat exchanger 21, and the coolant storage component 25 are connected in series between the first interface 231 and the second interface 232, the first liquid pump 251 and the refrigerant condenser 11 are connected in series between the third interface 233 and the fourth interface 234, the in-vehicle evaporator 22 is connected in series between the fifth interface 235 and the sixth interface 236, and the refrigerant evaporator 12 and the second liquid pump 252 are connected in series between the seventh interface 237 and the eighth interface 238; in the flow path switching component 23, the first interface 231 and the fourth interface 234 are controllably connected, the second interface 232 and the third interface 233 are controllably connected, the fifth interface 235 and the eighth interface 238 are controllably connected, and the sixth interface 236 and the seventh interface 237 are controllably connected. Figure 2As shown, through the connection relationship between the various interfaces of the flow path switching component 23 on the inside and outside of the component, the purpose of cooling the passenger compartment of the vehicle and dissipating heat for the main drive motor of the vehicle by the automobile thermal management system can be achieved at the same time. Integrating at least two modes of flow path switching into one flow path switching component 23 greatly improves the integration of the system, makes the entire air-conditioning system structure more compact, and reduces the space occupied and cost of the system. The aforementioned motor heat exchange component 24 is, for example, a heat exchange structure that forms a heat exchange with the control component and / or outer shell of the main drive motor. The aforementioned controllable connection specifically means that the two interfaces can be controlled to be connected, or they can be controlled to be cut off and not connected.

[0040] In some embodiments, the coolant circulation system further includes a battery heat exchange component 26, see Figure 3 As shown, the flow switching component 23 further has a ninth port 239 and a tenth port 2310. On the outside of the flow switching component 23, a battery heat exchange component 26 is connected in series between the ninth port 239 and the tenth port 2310. Within the flow switching component 23, the ninth port 239 is controllably connected to the seventh port 237, and the tenth port 2310 is controllably connected to the eighth port 238. The aforementioned battery heat exchange component 26 may be, for example, a heat sink that exchanges heat with the vehicle's battery. In this technical solution, by controlling the connection of the ninth port 239, the tenth port 2310, the seventh port 237, and the eighth port 238, the refrigerant (e.g., a liquid heat exchange medium such as water) after heat exchange and temperature reduction at the refrigerant evaporator 12 can flow into the battery heat exchange component 26 to cool the vehicle's battery. In other words, the thermal management air conditioning system in this technical solution further integrates the cooling function of the vehicle's battery, further improving the system's integration.

[0041] See further Figure 5 As shown, in the flow path switching component 23, the ninth interface 239 is also controllably connected to the first interface 231, and the tenth interface 2310 is also controllably connected to the fourth interface 234. At this time, the refrigerant can connect the external heat exchanger 21, the motor heat exchange component 24 and the battery heat exchange component 26 in series. Under the driving action of the first liquid pump 251, the refrigerant absorbs the heat generated by the main drive motor and the battery at the external heat exchanger 21 and uses the natural airflow outside the vehicle to dissipate heat without starting the refrigerant circulation system, thereby achieving energy-saving effects. This working mode is preferably suitable for spring and autumn seasons.

[0042] See also Figure 7As shown, as a preferred embodiment, in the flow switching component 23, the ninth interface 239 is also controllably connected to the third interface 233, so that the cooling of the battery by the coolant is achieved. Specifically, after the coolant exchanges heat with the refrigerant condenser 11 and heats up, it is driven by the first liquid pump 251 to flow into the battery heat exchange component 26 to heat the battery. This mode is adopted when the ambient temperature is low, such as in winter when the temperature is low, to ensure that the battery has good performance.

[0043] See further Figure 4 As shown, in the flow switching component 23, the ninth interface 239 is also controllably connected to the fifth interface 235. At this time, the battery heat exchange component 26, the in-vehicle evaporator 22 and the refrigerant evaporator 12 form a coolant heat exchange cycle under the drive of the second liquid pump 252. The coolant cools the passenger compartment and the vehicle battery at the same time.

[0044] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the refrigerant circulation system also includes an in-vehicle condenser 27, and the flow path switching component 23 also has an eleventh interface 2311 and a twelfth interface 2312. On the outside of the flow path switching component 23, the in-vehicle condenser 27 is connected in series between the eleventh interface 2311 and the twelfth interface 2312. Inside the flow path switching component 23, the eleventh interface 2311 is controllably connected to the fourth interface 234, and the twelfth interface 2312 is controllably connected to the third interface 233. In this technical solution, the flow path switching component 23 is additionally provided with an eleventh interface 2311 and a twelfth interface 2312, and the two newly added interfaces are controllably connected to the other interfaces, thereby meeting the heating demand for the passenger compartment. At this time, the flow path switching component 23 forms a twelve-way valve body structure. Specifically, see Figure 6 As shown, the coolant circulates between the refrigerant condenser 11 and the in-vehicle condenser 27 under the drive of the first liquid pump 251, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the passenger compartment; see Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the coolant heats the passenger compartment through the in-vehicle condenser 27 while also cooling the battery and the motor through the driving action of the second liquid pump 252.

[0045] See further Figure 9 In the flow switching component 23, the twelfth interface 2312 is also controllably connected to the tenth interface 2310. At this time, the coolant circulates among the in-vehicle condenser 27, the refrigerant condenser 11 and the battery heat exchange component 26, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the corresponding three.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the refrigerant circulation system also includes a compressor 13, which is an air-supply and reheat-increasing compressor. Correspondingly, a flasher 15 is correspondingly provided in the refrigerant circulation system of the air-conditioning system. At this time, the throttling element includes a first throttling element 141 and a second throttling element 142. The two throttling elements correspond to the inlet and outlet of the flasher 15 respectively. Of course, the air supply port of the flasher 15 is connected to the air supply port of the compressor 13. By adopting an air-supply and reheat-increasing compressor, the low-temperature (generally below -15°C) heating capacity of the refrigerant circulation system can be increased without the need for additional electric heating components, thereby reducing system components and improving system working efficiency.

[0047] It should be noted that the communication between the various interfaces of the aforementioned flow path switching component 23 can be specifically controlled by a plurality of electromagnetic on-off valves (not shown in the figure) built into the corresponding flow channels.
