[0039] The first aspect of this invention discloses a wide-temperature-range heat pump air conditioning thermal management system. Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a wide-temperature-range heat pump air conditioning thermal management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the system includes:

[0040] The system includes a first condenser, a second condenser, an evaporator, a chiller, a power battery-driven liquid cooling circuit, a gas-liquid separator, multiple solenoid valves, and multiple electronic expansion valves, among which:

[0041] The first end of the first condenser is connected to the first end of the first solenoid valve and the first end of the third solenoid valve respectively. The second end of the first solenoid valve is connected to the first end of the fifth solenoid valve. The second end of the fifth solenoid valve is connected to the chiller. The first end of the first check valve and the first end of the fourth solenoid valve are connected to the first end of the third solenoid valve respectively. The second end of the first check valve is connected to the first end of the evaporator. The second end of the fourth solenoid valve is connected to the second end of the fifth solenoid valve.
