The temperature sensor 900 senses the temperature of the refrigerant entering the battery pack 101 and converts it into a usable output signal. The electric water pump 1000 pressurizes the refrigerant in the pipeline to ensure its circulation within the battery thermal management circuit 100, thereby facilitating heat transfer. The outlet of the battery pack 101 is connected to a plate. The cold side of the plate heat exchanger 500 is connected to the sixth port 806 of the seven-way valve 800. The plate heat exchanger 500 includes a cold side and a hot side, both of which are refrigerant channels. The refrigerant between the cold side and the hot side can exchange heat. The structure of the plate heat exchanger 500 can refer to the existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The refrigerant sent from the fourth port 804 of the seven-way valve 800 flows sequentially through the battery pack 101 and the cold side of the plate heat exchanger 500 before flowing into the sixth port 806 of the seven-way valve 800.
[0041] The electric drive thermal management circuit 200 includes a low-temperature radiator 201, an on-board charger 202, and a drive motor 203 connected in sequence. The outlet of the drive motor 203 is connected to the fifth port 805 of the seven-way valve 800, and the inlet of the low-temperature radiator 201 is connected to the third port 803 of the seven-way valve 800. The first port 801 of the seven-way valve 800 is connected to the pipeline between the low-temperature radiator 201 and the on-board charger 202. The refrigerant sent from the third port 803 of the seven-way valve 800 passes through the low-temperature radiator 201, the on-board charger 202, and the drive motor 203 in sequence before being sent to the fifth port 805 of the seven-way valve 800. The refrigerant sent from the first port 801 of the seven-way valve 800 is transported to the pipeline between the low-temperature radiator 201 and the on-board charger 202.
[0042] A temperature sensor 900 and an electric water pump 1000 are also installed on the pipeline between the low-temperature radiator 201 and the on-board charger 202. The temperature sensor 900 can sense the temperature of the refrigerant sent by the low-temperature radiator 201 and convert it into a usable output signal.

[0044] The heating circuit 300 includes a three-way valve 301 and a heater core 302. The first port 3011 and the second port 3012 of the three-way valve 301, the heater core 302, and the water side of the water-cooled condenser 700 are sequentially connected to form a circulation circuit. The liquid inlet on the hot side of the plate heat exchanger 500 is connected to the third port 3013 of the three-way valve 301, and the liquid outlet on the hot side of the plate heat exchanger 500 is connected to the liquid inlet on the refrigerant side of the water-cooled condenser 700. The first port 3011, the second port 3012, and the third port 3013 of the three-way valve 301 can be selectively opened and closed to adjust the refrigerant delivery path. At the plate heat exchanger 500, the refrigerant in the heating circuit 300 can exchange energy with the refrigerant in the battery thermal management circuit 100. At the water-cooled condenser 700, the refrigerant in the heating circuit 300 can exchange energy with the refrigerant in the air conditioning thermal management circuit 400.
[0045] In the heating circuit 300, an electronic water pump 1000 is also provided to pressurize the refrigerant in the pipeline, ensuring its circulation in the heating circuit 300 for heat transfer. At the same time, a high-pressure PTC 303 is also provided to heat the refrigerant in the heating circuit 300. A temperature sensor 900 is provided at the high-pressure PTC 303 to monitor the temperature of the refrigerant at the high-pressure PTC 303. In addition, a second expansion tank 304 is provided. The inlet end of the second expansion tank 304 is also equipped with a throttle valve. If the pressure in the pipeline is too high or there is too much refrigerant, the excess gas and refrigerant will flow out from the bypass water channel of the second expansion tank 304 to avoid excessive pressure in the system.
[0046] The electric thermal management system is also equipped with a first expansion tank 204. The first expansion tank 204 is used to replenish the refrigerant in the pipes of the electric thermal management circuit 200. The first expansion tank 204 can be connected to the low-temperature radiator 201. If the pressure in the pipes is too high or there is too much refrigerant, the excess gas and refrigerant will flow out from the bypass channel of the first expansion tank 204 to avoid excessive pressure in the system.
[0047] The air conditioning thermal management circuit 400 includes an evaporator 401, a compressor 402, and an air condenser 403. The refrigerant sides of the evaporator 401, compressor 402, and water-cooled condenser 700 are sequentially connected to form a circulation circuit. The liquid inlet of the evaporator 401 is equipped with a first electronic expansion valve 404. The battery cooler 600 is connected in parallel with the evaporator 401. The liquid inlet on the refrigerant side of the battery cooler 600 is connected to the liquid outlet on the refrigerant side of the water-cooled condenser 700. The liquid inlet of the battery cooler 600 is equipped with a second electronic expansion valve 405. The air condenser 403 is connected in parallel with the water-cooled condenser 700. The liquid inlet of the air condenser 403 is equipped with a first shut-off valve 406. The liquid inlet on the refrigerant side of the water-cooled condenser 700 is equipped with a second shut-off valve 407. At the battery cooler 600, the refrigerant in the air conditioning thermal management circuit 400 exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the battery thermal management circuit 100.
[0048] Both the first shut-off valve 406 and the second shut-off valve 407 have two states: open and closed. When both the first shut-off valve 406 and the second shut-off valve 407 are open, the refrigerant passes through the water-cooled condenser 700 and the air condenser 403, respectively. When one of the first shut-off valve 406 or the second shut-off valve 407 is open and the other is closed, the refrigerant passes through the water-cooled condenser 700 or the air condenser 403.
[0049] The first electronic expansion valve 404 and the second electronic expansion valve 405 both have two states: open and closed. When both the first electronic expansion valve 404 and the second electronic expansion valve 405 are open, the refrigerant passes through the evaporator 401 and the battery cooler 600, respectively. When one of the first electronic expansion valve 404 or the second electronic expansion valve 405 is open and the other is closed, the refrigerant passes through the evaporator 401 or the battery cooler 600.
[0050] In the embodiments provided in this application, the air conditioning thermal management circuit 400 is provided with a liquid storage and drying bottle 408, which is located on the pipeline between the water-cooled condenser 700 and the evaporator 401. The air conditioning thermal management circuit 400 is provided with a first coaxial tube 409 and a second coaxial tube 410. The first coaxial tube 409 is located on the pipeline between the water-cooled condenser 700 and the evaporator 401, and the second coaxial tube 410 is located on the pipeline between the evaporator 401 and the compressor 402. Temperature and pressure sensors 411 are provided at both the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the compressor 402.
[0051] After absorbing heat in the evaporator 401, the refrigerant vaporizes into a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The gaseous refrigerant is then compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant by the compressor 402 and enters the water-cooled condenser 700 and / or the air condenser 403 to release heat and become a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After being regulated into a low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant by the first electronic expansion valve 404 and / or the second electronic expansion valve 405, it re-enters the evaporator 401 and / or the battery cooler 600 to form a complete refrigeration cycle.
[0052] The inlet on the water side of the battery cooler 600 is connected to the seventh port 807 of the seven-way valve 800, and the outlet on the water side of the battery cooler 600 is connected to the second port 802 of the seven-way valve 800. The refrigerant delivered from the seventh port 807 of the seven-way valve 800 flows through the water side of the battery cooler 600 to the second port 802 of the seven-way valve 800.
[0053] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention enables the battery thermal management circuit 100, electric drive thermal management circuit 200, heating circuit 300, air conditioning thermal management circuit 400, plate heat exchanger 500, battery cooler 600 and water-cooled condenser 700 to be connected in series / parallel by setting a seven-way valve 800. The system has functions such as battery heating / cooling / waste heat utilization, electric drive cooling / waste heat utilization and battery / electric drive system filling and venting. It has comprehensive functions and has the advantages of fewer parts, lower cost and lower system complexity, which is conducive to integrated design and platform vehicle expansion.
[0054] This invention uses the heat from the heat pump system to heat the battery. At the same time, this mode can make the system operate stably in heat pump mode during dehumidification in spring and autumn, which can reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle during spring and autumn driving and battery charging and heating, and improve the vehicle's driving range.
[0055] Secondly, the present invention utilizes the aforementioned new energy vehicle thermal management system for thermal management, and the thermal management method includes the following thermal management modes:
[0056] First mode: The first port 801 of the seven-way valve 800 is closed, the second port 802 is connected to the fourth port 804, the third port 803 is connected to the fifth port 805, and the sixth port 806 is connected to the seventh port 807. The first electronic expansion valve 404 is open, the second electronic expansion valve 405 is open, the first shut-off valve 406 is open, and the second shut-off valve 407 is closed. In the first mode, it is used for cooling the passenger cabin and battery in summer. The battery thermal management circuit 100 and the electric drive thermal management circuit 200 work independently. The refrigerant is regulated to a low temperature and low pressure by the second electronic expansion valve 405 and then flows through the electric drive circuit. The refrigerant on the water side of the battery cooler 600 is cooled down. The refrigerant sent from the water side of the battery cooler 600 is sent to the second port 802 of the seven-way valve 800 and then flows into the fourth port 804 of the seven-way valve 800. After cooling the battery pack 101, it flows into the sixth port 806 of the seven-way valve 800 and then to the water side of the battery cooler 600 via the seventh port 807 of the seven-way valve 800 to complete the cycle. The on-board charger 202 and the drive motor 203 in the electric drive thermal management 200 circuit are cooled separately by the low-temperature radiator 201.
[0057] Second mode: The first port 801 of the seven-way valve 800 is closed, the second port 802 is connected to the fourth port 804, the third port 803 is connected to the fifth port 805, the sixth port 806 is connected to the seventh port 807, the first electronic expansion valve 404 is closed, the second electronic expansion valve 405 is closed, the first shut-off valve 406 is closed, and the second shut-off valve 407 is closed. When it is necessary to add venting or battery charging air cooling, the electronic water pump 1000 is turned on to inject the refrigerant in the first expansion tank 204 into the pipeline of the electric drive thermal management circuit 200, and then returns to the electric drive thermal management circuit 200 through the fifth port 805, the fourth port 804, the sixth port 806, the seventh port 807, the second port 802, and the third port 803 of the seven-way valve 800 in sequence.

The heat from the outside air enters the electric drive thermal management circuit 200 through the low-temperature radiator 201, and then enters the water side of the battery cooler 600 through the fifth port 805 and the seventh port 807 of the seven-way valve 800. This heats the refrigerant on the refrigerant side of the battery cooler 600. The heated refrigerant then transfers heat to the heating circuit 300 at the water-cooled condenser 700 for heating the crew compartment. The heat from the refrigerant in the heating circuit 300 can also be transferred to the battery thermal management circuit 100 in the plate heat exchanger 500 to heat the battery pack 101.
[0059] Fourth mode: The third port 803 of the seven-way valve 800 is closed, the first port 801 and the second port 802 are connected, the fourth port 804 and the sixth port 806 are connected, and the fifth port 805 and the seventh port 807 are connected. The first electronic expansion valve 404 is closed, the second electronic expansion valve 405 is open, the first shut-off valve 406 is closed, and the second shut-off valve 407 is open. In the electric drive thermal management circuit 200, the on-board charger 202 and the drive motor 203 generate heat. The high-temperature refrigerant enters from the fifth port 805 of the seven-way valve 800 and is sent out from the seventh port 807 to the water side of the battery cooler 600, raising the temperature of the refrigerant on the refrigerant side of the battery cooler 600. The heated refrigerant transfers heat to the heating circuit 300 at the water-cooled condenser 700 for heating the passenger compartment. The heat from the refrigerant in the heating circuit 300 can also be transferred to the battery thermal management circuit 100 in the plate heat exchanger 500 to heat the battery pack 101.
[0060] Mode 5: The third port 803 of the seven-way valve 800 is closed, the first port 801 and the second port 802 are connected, the fourth port 804 and the fifth port 805 are connected, the sixth port 806 and the seventh port 807 are connected, the first electronic expansion valve 404 is closed, the second electronic expansion valve 405 is open, the first shut-off valve 406 is closed, and the second shut-off valve 407 is open. When the battery pack 101 requires cooling and the passenger compartment requires heating / the water temperature of the battery pack 101 is low, the battery pack 101, the on-board charger 202 and the drive motor 203 generate heat. The higher-temperature refrigerant enters from the sixth port 806 of the seven-way valve 800 and is sent out from the seventh port 807 to the water side of the battery cooler 600, raising the temperature of the refrigerant on the refrigerant side of the battery cooler 600. The heated refrigerant transfers heat to the heating circuit 300 at the water-cooled condenser 700 for heating the passenger compartment.
