Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle thermal management, and in particular to a heat pump air conditioner thermal management system, a control method, a control device and a medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the energy of a pure electric vehicle comes from a power battery, the whole vehicle is extremely sensitive to energy consumption, and any energy consumption of the pure electric vehicle will affect the endurance of the pure electric vehicle. The thermal management system of the pure electric vehicle not only needs to perform passenger compartment thermal management, but also needs to perform thermal management on devices such as power batteries, electric drives, and power supplies, and needs to simultaneously consider heating, cooling, and other needs, making the design of the thermal management system more difficult.
[0003] In the thermal management system of a pure electric vehicle, a heat pump air conditioner is generally used to replace a thermal sensitive (PTC) heater to reduce power consumption. The heat pump air conditioner is generally an indirect heat pump air conditioner or a direct heat pump air conditioner. The indirect heat pump air conditioner needs to perform secondary heat exchange through a liquid cooling condenser, which limits the heating performance. Regardless of the indirect heat pump air conditioner or the direct heat pump air conditioner, the dual-purpose structure design of the outdoor heat exchanger will cause the refrigeration performance to be weak, and the waste heat of the power battery, the electric drive, and the power supply device cannot be fully utilized. The outdoor evaporator is prone to frost formation, and the heating performance of the vehicle cannot meet the requirements, and the overall energy consumption is high.
[0004] In summary, the vehicle heat pump air conditioner system in the prior art cannot simultaneously consider good heating and refrigeration performance, and there is no design for utilizing waste heat for heating, resulting in the problem of high overall energy consumption of the pure electric vehicle.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , a heat pump air conditioning thermal management system, a control method and a vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described.
[0061] As shown in Figure 1 , the heat pump air conditioning thermal management system in the present embodiment includes a first main circuit and a second main circuit, and the first main circuit and the second main circuit exchange heat with each other through a shared cooler 15.
[0062] Specifically, the first main circuit comprises the indoor heat exchanger 11, and the compressor 1, the indoor condenser 2, the air conditioning three-way valve 3, the outdoor heat exchanger 6, the cooler 15, and the gas-liquid separator 16 connected in series and constituting a circuit. The inlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 is connected to the outlet of the indoor condenser 2, the first outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 6. The outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 6 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 16. The first port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 is connected to the second outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 16, the second port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 is connected to the inlet and outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 6, and a one-way valve 4 is arranged at the connection between the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the inlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 6. The compressor 11 is an electric compressor 1.
[0063] Specifically, the second main circuit comprises the power battery 25, the heat-sensitive heater 26 (PTC heater 26), the cooler 15, the third water three-way valve 27, the power supply device 18, the electric drive device 19, the first water three-way valve 20, the radiator 21, and the second water three-way valve 23 connected in series and constituting a circuit. The inlet of the third water three-way valve 27 is connected to the cooler 15, the first outlet of the third water three-way valve 27 is connected to the power supply device 18, and the second outlet of the third water three-way valve 27 is connected to the power battery 25.
[0064] The inlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 6 is provided with a first expansion valve 5. The second port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 is provided with a second expansion valve 10. The inlet of the cooler 15 in the first main circuit is provided with a third expansion valve 14. The second port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 is connected between the air conditioning three-way valve 3 and the first expansion valve 5, and the connection between the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the inlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 6 is between the second expansion valve 10 and the second port of the indoor heat exchanger 11. The first expansion valve 5, the second expansion valve 10, and the third expansion valve 14 are all electronic expansion valves, realizing automatic control of each expansion valve.
[0065] (1) Passenger cabin refrigeration mode: when the ambient temperature is high and the passenger cabin temperature needs to be reduced, the second main circuit is closed, the cooler 15 is controlled to be inoperative, the first outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 is opened, and the electric compressor 1 is started, as shown in FIG. 2. The refrigerant flowing out of the electric compressor 1 flows through the indoor condenser 2 (at this time, the indoor condenser 2 has no heat exchange), then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 6 through the first outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 for heat exchange, the heat-exchanged refrigerant flows into the indoor heat exchanger 11 for secondary heat exchange, the twice heat-exchanged refrigerant flows through the gas-liquid separator 16, and finally returns to the electric compressor 1, thereby cooling and reducing the temperature of the passenger cabin through the indoor heat exchanger 11. Figure 2
[0066] (2) Power battery refrigeration mode: when the temperature of the power battery 25 is higher than a set value, but the passenger cabin does not need to be cooled, the indoor heat exchanger 11 is inoperative while the cooler 15 is operative, and the electric compressor 1 is started, as shown in FIG. 3.Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerant flowing out of the electric compressor 1 flows through the indoor condenser 2 (at this time, the indoor condenser 2 does not exchange heat), and then flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 6 through the first outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 for heat exchange. After heat exchange, the refrigerant flows into the cooler 15 and exchanges heat with the coolant in the cooler 15. After heat exchange, the refrigerant with increased temperature flows into the gas-liquid separator 16 and then returns to the electric compressor 1. The power battery 25 can be cooled down through the cooler 15.
[0067] (3) Single condenser dual evaporator cooling mode: When the temperature of the power battery 25 is higher than the set value and the passenger compartment needs to be cooled, the passage between the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 6 and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 16 is disconnected, and the electric compressor 1 starts. Figure 4 As shown, the refrigerant flows through the indoor condenser 2 (without heat exchange), the air conditioning three-way valve 3, and the first expansion valve 5 (fully open), and enters the outdoor heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange. After heat exchange, the refrigerant is divided into two paths: one path passes through the third expansion valve 14 (operating), and after the third expansion valve 14 is activated, it enters the cooler 15, where it exchanges heat with the coolant in the second main circuit. The refrigerant with increased temperature flows through the gas-liquid separator 16 and then returns to the electric compressor 1, thus achieving cooling of the power battery 25 through the cooler 15; the other path passes through the second expansion valve 10 (operating), and after the second expansion valve 10 is activated, it enters the indoor heat exchanger 11 for heat exchange, then flows through the gas-liquid separator 16 and returns to the electric compressor 1, where it achieves cooling of the passenger compartment through the indoor heat exchanger 11, forming another heat exchange cycle. In this mode, the coolant flows sequentially through the power battery 25, PTC heater 26, cooler 15, and third water three-way valve 27, then returns to the power battery 25, forming a heat exchange cycle. Figure 3 The thick black arrow in the image represents the refrigerant flow process when the power battery 25 is at a high temperature, and cooling is performed on the power battery 25.
[0068] (4) Single condenser and single evaporator heating mode: When the ambient temperature is low and the passenger compartment needs to be heated, the passage between the first port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the gas-liquid separator 16 is disconnected, the second outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 is closed, and the electric compressor 1 starts. Figure 5 As shown, the refrigerant flows into the indoor condenser 2 for heat exchange. After heat exchange, the refrigerant flows through the air conditioning three-way valve 3, and then enters the first expansion valve 5 (working) through the first outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3. After the first expansion valve 5 is activated, it flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange. After heat exchange, it flows into the gas-liquid separator 16, and then returns to the electric compressor 1. The indoor condenser 2 is used to heat the passenger compartment.
[0069] (5) Dual-condenser single-evaporator heating mode: When the ambient temperature is low and the passenger compartment needs to be heated, and the temperature and pressure in the circuit meet certain conditions, the first outlet of the air conditioning three-way valve 3 is closed. The passage between the first port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the gas-liquid separator 16 is disconnected, the relevant passage of the cooler 15 is disconnected, and the electric compressor 1 starts. Figure 6 As shown, the refrigerant flows into the indoor condenser 2 for heat exchange, and after heat exchange, it enters the indoor heat exchanger 11 through the air conditioning three-way valve 3 for further heat exchange. The refrigerant then flows through the one-way valve 4 and then into the first expansion valve 5 (operating). After the first expansion valve 5 is activated, it flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange. The refrigerant after heat exchange then flows directly into the gas-liquid separator 16 and finally returns to the electric compressor 1. The heating of the passenger compartment is achieved through the indoor condenser 2 and the indoor heat exchanger 11.
[0070] (6) Dual-condenser single-evaporator waste heat heating mode: When the ambient temperature is low and the passenger compartment needs to be heated, but the vehicle has sufficient waste heat, the passage between the first port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the gas-liquid separator 16 is disconnected, and the passage between the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 6 and the inlet of the gas-liquid separator 16 is disconnected. The electric compressor 1 starts, such as... Figure 7 As shown, refrigerant flows into the indoor condenser 2 for heat exchange. After heat exchange, the refrigerant flows through the air conditioning three-way valve 3 into the indoor heat exchanger 11 for further heat exchange. Then, after heat exchange, the refrigerant flows into the fully open second expansion valve 10, and then into the third expansion valve 14 (at this time, the third expansion valve 14 is working). After passing through the third expansion valve 14, the refrigerant flows into the cooler 15, where it exchanges heat with the coolant in the second main circuit. After heat exchange, it flows into the gas-liquid separator 16 and returns to the electric compressor 1. In this mode, the coolant in the second main circuit flows sequentially through the power battery 25, PTC heater 26, cooler 15, third water three-way valve 27, motor water pump 17, power supply unit 18, electric drive unit 19, first water three-way valve 20, and second water three-way valve 23, and then returns to the power battery 25, forming a heat exchange cycle. In this mode, the indoor heat exchanger 11 acts as an evaporator, and the cooler 15 absorbs waste heat from the vehicle to heat the passenger compartment.
[0071] (7) Dual condenser and dual evaporator waste heat heating mode: When the ambient temperature is low and the passenger compartment needs to be heated, but the vehicle's waste heat is insufficient, the passage between the first port of the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the gas-liquid separator 16 is disconnected, and the electric compressor 1 starts. Figure 8As shown, the refrigerant flows into the indoor condenser 2 for heat exchange, then enters the indoor heat exchanger 11 through the air conditioner three-way valve 3 for heat exchange, and thereafter the refrigerant is divided into two paths: the first path of refrigerant enters the first expansion valve 5 (working) through the one-way valve 4, and enters the outdoor heat exchanger 6 for heat exchange under the action of the first expansion valve 5, and the heat-exchanged refrigerant directly flows into the gas-liquid separator 16 and returns to the electric compressor 1; the second path of refrigerant passes through the fully open second expansion valve 10, and enters the third expansion valve 14 (working), and enters the cooler 15 for heat exchange with the cooling liquid of the second main circuit after the action of the third expansion valve 14, and enters the gas-liquid separator 16 after heat exchange and returns to the electric compressor 1. In this mode, the cooling liquid of the second main circuit flows through the power battery 25, the PTC heater 26 (which can be opened for heating), the cooler 15, the third water three-way valve 27, the motor water pump 17, the power supply device 18, the electric drive device 19, the first water three-way valve 20, the expansion tank 22, the second water three-way valve 23, and then returns to the power battery water pump 25, forming a heat exchange cycle. The heating of the passenger compartment is implemented by absorbing environmental heat through the outdoor heat exchanger 6 and absorbing vehicle waste heat through the cooler 15.
[0072] The first main circuit described above mainly manages the temperature in the passenger compartment through the indoor condenser 2, the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the outdoor heat exchanger 6, the second main circuit mainly manages the temperature of the power battery 25, the power supply device 18 and the electric drive device 19 through the radiator 21 and the cooler 15, and the first main circuit and the second main circuit can exchange heat through the cooler 15 to realize heat exchange between the first main circuit and the second main circuit. The heat pump air conditioning thermal management system in this embodiment, on the basis of ensuring the thermal management of the passenger compartment, the power battery 25, the power supply device 18 and the electric drive device 19, utilizes the waste heat of the power battery 25, the power supply device 18 and the electric drive device 19 on the vehicle to adjust the temperature of the passenger compartment, thereby improving the heating performance of the heat pump air conditioning thermal management system.
[0073] In this embodiment, the flow direction of the refrigerant can be controlled by switching control of the valves according to the specific working condition requirements of the heat pump air conditioning thermal management system, so that the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the outdoor heat exchanger 6 can be used as condensers, and the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the outdoor heat exchanger 6 can also be used as evaporators, that is, the indoor condenser 2, the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the outdoor heat exchanger 6 can all be used as condensers, and the cooler 15, the indoor heat exchanger 11 and the outdoor heat exchanger 6 can all be used as evaporators. Through the control of the above-mentioned paths or specific structures, various temperature control circuits can be realized to meet the needs of various subdivided temperature control scenarios, including but not limited to the following scenarios:
[0074] In Figures 2 to 8 , the black thick arrows in each figure are the flow directions of the refrigerant in different modes.
[0075] As can be seen from the above, the heat pump air conditioning heat management system in the embodiment is a direct heat pump air conditioning system, has a structure of three condensers and three evaporators, and can realize single-condenser single-evaporator, single-condenser double-evaporator refrigeration working modes and single-condenser single-evaporator, double-condenser single-evaporator, double-condenser double-evaporator heating working modes by switching control of the valves to change the flow direction of the refrigerant on the basis of the approximate structure space of the traditional air conditioner. In heating, the first main circuit and the second main circuit operate at the same time, and the waste heat of the power supply device 18, the electric drive device 19 and the power battery 25 is utilized for heating, thereby reducing the frosting of the outdoor evaporator, and in refrigeration, the first main circuit is directly used to refrigerate the passenger compartment, so that the heat pump air conditioning heat management system can efficiently heat and refrigerate to meet the temperature control requirements of the passenger compartment, the power supply device 18, the electric drive device 19 and the power battery 25 in the most suitable energy-saving and efficient working mode, can meet the heat management requirements in various environmental temperatures and driving conditions, and can keep high efficiency and low energy consumption, thereby saving the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and improving the cruising range of the electric vehicle. Meanwhile, the heat pump air conditioning heat management system can overcome the problems of low energy efficiency ratio, small heating capacity and easy frosting of the external evaporator of the traditional heat pump air conditioner in low environmental temperature, and can improve the stability and comfort of the operation of the heat pump air conditioner.
