[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and particularly relates to a vehicle dual-evaporator thermal management system and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The global new energy vehicle industry has entered a stage of rapid development. Electric vehicles are the main models of new energy vehicles today. Electric vehicles use power batteries as the source of system power, and in order to ensure that the power battery works safely within the optimal temperature range of 25 DEG C to 40 DEG C, it needs to be controlled for thermal management. In addition, in order to ensure the comfort of the driver and passengers, the temperature of the air in the passenger compartment also needs to be adjusted and controlled to keep it around 25 DEG C.

[0003] Liquid cooling technology is the mainstream technology currently used in electric vehicle thermal management systems, and a set of dual-evaporator refrigeration system is usually used to simultaneously meet the thermal management requirements for power batteries and passenger compartments. However, when the existing dual-evaporator thermal management system for electric vehicles with a single suction port compressor is running, although the evaporating pressures of the two evaporators can be made different by adjusting the electronic expansion valves in front of the evaporators, and thus the evaporating temperatures of the two evaporators can be made different, but when the two branch refrigerants are mixed at the suction port of the compressor, pressure loss or pressure fluctuation near the suction port of the compressor is inevitably caused, which brings energy loss and a decrease in system stability. SUMMARY

[0008] The application realizes the switching of the two types of operation modes of refrigeration and heating through the reversing of the four-way reversing valve; compared with the current electric vehicle double-evaporator thermal management system using a single-suction compressor, the application uses a double-suction double-rotor electric compressor, which can realize the stable operation of the passenger cabin heat exchanger and the battery heat exchanger at different evaporation temperatures respectively in the refrigeration mode, can be independently controlled and does not interfere with each other, can more flexibly and accurately control the temperature of the passenger cabin and the power battery, and can also improve the coefficient of performance of the system.

[0023] The existing single-suction compressor double-evaporator thermal management system for electric vehicles can make the evaporation pressures of the two evaporators different by adjusting the electronic expansion valves in front of the respective evaporators, and thus make the evaporation temperatures of the two evaporators different, but when the two branch refrigerants are mixed at the suction port of the compressor, pressure loss or pressure fluctuation near the compressor suction port is inevitable, which brings energy loss and decline in system stability.

[0040] In an embodiment, the dual-evaporator thermal management system for vehicle can be applied to an electric vehicle.

[0041] In an embodiment, the dual-evaporator thermal management system for vehicle can realize refrigeration or heating of the passenger cabin and the power battery in different modes under the control of the controller, and the controller controls according to the temperature of the passenger cabin and the temperature of the power battery. Therefore, the dual-evaporator thermal management system for vehicle can further comprise a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor and a controller.

[0042] The first temperature sensor is configured to collect the temperature of the passenger cabin.

[0043] The second temperature sensor is configured to collect the temperature of the power battery.

[0044] The controller is configured to control the refrigeration mode or the heating mode of the passenger cabin according to the temperature of the passenger cabin, and / or control the refrigeration mode or the heating mode of the power battery according to the temperature of the power battery.

[0045] Specifically, the first temperature sensor can be arranged in the passenger cabin or on the passenger cabin heat exchanger 8. The second temperature sensor can be arranged on the outer surface of the single battery and / or on a certain part of the power battery module.

[0046] The controller controls the cooling or heating mode of the passenger cabin and the power battery according to the temperature of the passenger cabin and the temperature of the power battery, and then controls the switching of the four-way reversing valve, the opening and closing of the electronic expansion valve, the on-off of the three-way valve and the electromagnetic valve in the dual-evaporator thermal management system for the vehicle, controls the dual-suction-port dual-rotor electric compressor, the outside heat exchanger, the passenger cabin heat exchanger, the battery heat exchanger, the liquid accumulator, the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve to realize the corresponding functions, and then meets the cooling or heating requirements of the passenger cabin and the power battery in different modes.

[0047] For example, when the actual temperature of the passenger cabin exceeds the preset temperature range, such as exceeding the set maximum value, the passenger cabin needs to be cooled according to the actual temperature of the passenger cabin to reduce the temperature of the passenger cabin; or when the actual temperature of the passenger cabin is lower than the set minimum value, the passenger cabin needs to be heated according to the actual temperature of the passenger cabin to increase the temperature of the passenger cabin.

[0048] When the actual temperature of the power battery exceeds the normal temperature range, such as exceeding the maximum value of the normal temperature range, the power battery needs to be cooled according to the actual temperature of the power battery to reduce the temperature of the power battery to the normal temperature range; or when the actual temperature of the power battery is lower than the minimum value of the normal temperature range, the power battery needs to be heated according to the actual temperature of the power battery to increase the temperature of the power battery to the normal temperature range.

[0049] In some embodiments, the dual-evaporator thermal management system for the vehicle can also provide a display device on which the heating mode and / or the cooling mode options are displayed, and a person can select the heating or cooling of the passenger cabin or the power battery, and then the selected instructions are transmitted to the controller to control the switching of the four-way reversing valve, the opening and closing of the electronic expansion valve, the on-off of the three-way valve and the electromagnetic valve in the dual-evaporator thermal management system for the vehicle, and control the dual-suction-port dual-rotor electric compressor, the outside heat exchanger, the passenger cabin heat exchanger, the battery heat exchanger, the liquid accumulator, the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve to realize the corresponding functions, and then meet the cooling or heating requirements of the passenger cabin and the power battery in different modes.

[0050] For example, when a person feels that the temperature in the passenger cabin is too high or too low, the heating or cooling can be performed by selecting the heating mode and / or the cooling mode options of the passenger cabin.

[0051] In an embodiment, the thermal management system can realize a total of 7 operating modes of the two types of cooling and heating to cope with different driving conditions.

[0052] 1. Cooling mode of the thermal management system

[0053] In this operating mode, the first channel 1 and the fourth channel 4 of the four-way reversing valve are connected, and the second channel 2 and the third channel 3 are connected. Three cooling modes can be switched by controlling the opening and closing of the two electronic expansion valves in this thermal management system: ① "Simultaneous cooling of the passenger compartment and power battery" mode is achieved when both electronic expansion valves are open; ② "Passenger compartment cooling only" mode is achieved when the first electronic expansion valve is open and the second electronic expansion valve is closed; ③ "Power battery cooling only" mode is achieved when the first electronic expansion valve is closed and the second electronic expansion valve is open.

[0054] ① The schematic diagram of the "simultaneous cooling of the passenger compartment and the power battery" mode is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the first channel 1 and the fourth channel 4 of the four-way directional valve are connected, and the second channel 2 and the third channel 3 are connected; both the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve are open; the first channel a and the second channel b of the first three-way valve are open, and the third channel c is closed; the first channel a and the second channel b of the second three-way valve are open, and the third channel c is closed; the second channel b and the third channel c of the third three-way valve are open, and the first channel a is closed; the first solenoid valve is on, and the second solenoid valve is closed.

[0055] After the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the dual-intake dual-rotor electric compressor, it flows sequentially through the four-way reversing valve, the external heat exchanger, the liquid receiver, and the first three-way valve. Then it splits into two paths: the passenger compartment sub-circuit and the power battery sub-circuit. In the passenger compartment sub-circuit, the refrigerant flows sequentially through the first electronic expansion valve, the passenger compartment heat exchanger, the third three-way valve, and the four-way reversing valve, and flows into the second intake port of the dual-intake dual-rotor electric compressor. In the power battery sub-circuit, the refrigerant flows sequentially through the second three-way valve, the second electronic expansion valve, the battery heat exchanger, and the first solenoid valve, and flows into the first intake port of the dual-intake dual-rotor electric compressor.

[0056] In this mode: the external heat exchanger acts as a condenser, where the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing from the exhaust port of the dual-intake, dual-rotor electric compressor condenses and releases heat, becoming a low-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid. The receiver serves two purposes: first, it prevents excessive accumulation of liquid refrigerant in the external heat exchanger, which would reduce the heat transfer area and affect the heat transfer efficiency; second, it adapts to changes in evaporator load demand. When the cooling load increases, the refrigerant supply also increases, replenished by the liquid stored in the receiver; when the cooling load decreases, the required liquid supply also decreases, and excess liquid is stored in the receiver. The passenger compartment sub-circuit and the power battery sub-circuit are parallel flow path structures. The first and second electronic expansion valves function as throttling valves to reduce pressure and regulate flow. After throttling and pressure reduction, the refrigerant becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure wet vapor state. Both the passenger compartment heat exchanger and the battery heat exchanger function as evaporators. Within these exchangers, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the passenger compartment air and the power battery, evaporating and thus cooling the passenger compartment and the power battery. The degree of throttling and pressure reduction is controlled by adjusting the opening of the first and second electronic expansion valves, thereby controlling the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant in each exchanger. The refrigerant exiting the passenger compartment and battery heat exchangers is in a superheated state and flows into the two suction ports of the dual-suction, dual-rotor electric compressor for separate compression. At this time, the second solenoid valve is closed to prevent cross-contamination of the two refrigerant streams.

[0057] ② The schematic diagram of the "crew cabin cooling" mode is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the first channel 1 and the fourth channel 4 of the four-way directional valve are connected, and the second channel 2 and the third channel 3 are connected; the first electronic expansion valve is open, and the second electronic expansion valve is closed; the first channel a and the second channel b of the first three-way valve are connected, and the third channel c is closed; the first channel a and the second channel b of the second three-way valve are connected, and the third channel c is closed; the second channel b and the third channel c of the third three-way valve are connected, and the first channel a is closed; the first solenoid valve is closed, and the second solenoid valve is connected.

[0058] After the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the dual-inlet dual-rotor electric compressor, it flows sequentially through the four-way reversing valve, the external heat exchanger, the liquid receiver, the first three-way valve, the first electronic expansion valve, the passenger compartment heat exchanger, the third three-way valve, and the four-way reversing valve, and then splits into two streams that flow into the two intake ports of the electric compressor.

[0059] In this mode: the external heat exchanger acts as a condenser, where the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing from the exhaust port of the dual-intake, dual-rotor electric compressor condenses and releases heat, becoming a low-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid. The receiver functions the same as in mode ①, "Simultaneous cooling of the passenger compartment and power battery." Unlike mode ①, in this mode, the refrigerant only flows through the passenger compartment sub-circuit. The first electronic expansion valve throttles and reduces pressure and regulates flow; the refrigerant after throttling and reducing pressure becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure wet vapor. The passenger compartment heat exchanger acts as an evaporator; within it, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air in the passenger compartment and evaporates, thus cooling the passenger compartment. The degree of throttling and pressure reduction is controlled by adjusting the opening of the first electronic expansion valve, thereby controlling the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant in the passenger compartment heat exchanger. The refrigerant flowing out of the passenger compartment heat exchanger is in a superheated state and finally splits into two streams, flowing into the two intake ports of the electric compressor for separate compression. At this time, the second solenoid valve is in the on state, which acts as a bypass to make the pressure of the two refrigerant streams flowing into the two suction ports of the electric compressor equal.

[0060] ③ The schematic diagram of the "Power Battery Single Cooling" mode is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the first channel 1 and the fourth channel 4 of the four-way directional valve are connected, and the second channel 2 and the third channel 3 are connected; the first electronic expansion valve is closed, and the second electronic expansion valve is open; the first channel a and the second channel b of the first three-way valve are open, and the third channel c is closed; the first channel a and the second channel b of the second three-way valve are open, and the third channel c is closed; the second channel b and the third channel c of the third three-way valve are open, and the first channel a is closed; both the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are connected.

[0061] After the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the dual-inlet dual-rotor electric compressor, it flows sequentially through the four-way reversing valve, the external heat exchanger, the liquid receiver, the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve, the second electronic expansion valve, the battery heat exchanger, and the first solenoid valve, and then splits into two streams that flow into the two intake ports of the electric compressor.

[0062] In this mode: the external heat exchanger acts as a condenser, where the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing from the exhaust port of the dual-intake, dual-rotor electric compressor condenses and releases heat, becoming a low-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant liquid. The receiver functions the same as in mode ①, "simultaneous cooling of the passenger compartment and power battery." Unlike mode ①, in this mode, the refrigerant only flows through the power battery sub-circuit. The second electronic expansion valve throttles and reduces pressure and regulates flow; the refrigerant after throttling and pressure reduction becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure wet vapor. The battery heat exchanger acts as an evaporator; within it, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the power battery and evaporates, thus cooling the power battery. The degree of throttling and pressure reduction is controlled by adjusting the opening of the second electronic expansion valve, thereby controlling the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant in the battery heat exchanger. The refrigerant flowing out of the battery heat exchanger is in a superheated state and finally splits into two streams, flowing into the two intake ports of the electric compressor for separate compression. At this time, the second solenoid valve is in the on state, which acts as a bypass to make the pressure of the two refrigerant streams flowing into the two suction ports of the electric compressor equal.

[0063] 2. Heating modes of the thermal management system

[0064] In this operating mode, the first channel (1) and the second channel (2) of the four-way reversing valve are connected, as are the third channel (3) and the fourth channel (4). The four heating modes can be switched by controlling the on / off states of the three three-way valves and two solenoid valves in this thermal management system, as detailed below.

[0065] ① The schematic diagram of the "simultaneous heating of the passenger compartment and the power battery" mode is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the first path 1 and the second path 2 of the four-way directional valve are connected, and the third path 3 and the fourth path 4 are connected; both the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve are open; the first path a and the third path c of the first three-way valve are open, and the second path b is closed; the first path a and the second path b of the second three-way valve are open, and the third path c is closed; all three flow paths of the third three-way valve are open; the first solenoid valve is closed, and the second solenoid valve is open.

[0066] After the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the dual-intake dual-rotor electric compressor, it flows through the four-way reversing valve and then through the third three-way valve, where it is divided into two paths: the passenger compartment sub-circuit and the power battery sub-circuit. The refrigerant in the passenger compartment sub-circuit flows through the passenger compartment heat exchanger and the first electronic expansion valve in sequence; the refrigerant in the power battery sub-circuit flows through the battery heat exchanger, the second electronic expansion valve, and the second three-way valve in sequence. After the two refrigerant paths merge, they flow through the first three-way valve, the external heat exchanger, and the four-way reversing valve, and then split into two paths that flow into the two intake ports of the dual-intake dual-rotor electric compressor respectively.

[0067] In this mode: the passenger cabin heat exchanger and the battery heat exchanger are both used as condensers, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing out of the exhaust port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor is condensed and released heat in the two condensers respectively, thereby providing heat for the passenger cabin and the power battery respectively, and the condensed and released heat refrigerant becomes low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The passenger cabin sub-circuit and the power battery sub-circuit are parallel flow path structures. The first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve function as throttling and pressure reducing and flow adjusting. The two throttled and pressure-reduced refrigerants become low-temperature and low-pressure wet steam, and after being combined, flow to the outdoor heat exchanger. The outdoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, and the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat of the air in the external environment to evaporate and become superheated, and finally is divided into two streams respectively flowing into the two suction ports of the electric compressor for compression. At this time, the second electromagnetic valve is in the on state, and functions as a bypass to make the pressure of the two streams before flowing into the two suction ports of the electric compressor equal.

[0068] ②The principle diagram of the "passenger cabin single heating" mode is as shown in Figure 6 At this time, the first path 1 and the second path 2 of the four-way reversing valve are connected, the third path 3 and the fourth path 4 are connected, the first electronic expansion valve is opened, the second electronic expansion valve is closed, the first path a and the third path c of the first three-way valve are connected, the second path b is closed, the first path a and the second path b of the second three-way valve are connected, the third path c is closed, the second path b and the third path c of the third three-way valve are connected, the first path a is closed, the first electromagnetic valve is closed, and the second electromagnetic valve is connected.

[0069] The refrigerant flowing out of the exhaust port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor flows through the four-way reversing valve, the third three-way valve, the passenger cabin heat exchanger, the first electronic expansion valve, the first three-way valve, the outdoor heat exchanger, and the four-way reversing valve, and is divided into two streams respectively flowing into the two suction ports of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor.

[0070] In this mode: unlike the "passenger cabin + power battery simultaneous heating" mode, the refrigerant only flows through the passenger cabin sub-circuit. The passenger cabin heat exchanger is used as a condenser, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing out of the exhaust port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor is condensed and released heat in the condenser, thereby providing heat for the passenger cabin, and the condensed and released heat refrigerant becomes low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The first electronic expansion valve functions as throttling and flow adjusting, and the throttled refrigerant becomes low-temperature and low-pressure wet steam. The outdoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, and the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat of the air in the external environment to evaporate and become superheated, and finally is divided into two streams respectively flowing into the two suction ports of the electric compressor for compression. At this time, the second electromagnetic valve is in the on state, and functions as a bypass to make the pressure of the two streams before flowing into the two suction ports of the electric compressor equal.

[0071] ③The principle diagram of the "power battery single heating" mode is as shown in Figure 7As shown, at this time, the first path 1 and the second path 2 of the four-way reversing valve are connected, the third path 3 and the fourth path 4 are connected; the first electronic expansion valve is closed, and the second electronic expansion valve is opened; the first path a and the third path c of the first three-way valve are connected, and the second path b is closed; the first path a and the second path b of the second three-way valve are connected, and the third path c is closed; the first path a and the third path c of the third three-way valve are connected, and the second path b is closed; the first electromagnetic valve is closed, and the second electromagnetic valve is connected;

[0072] After the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor, it flows through the four-way reversing valve, the third three-way valve, the battery heat exchanger, the second electronic expansion valve, the second three-way valve, the first three-way valve, the external heat exchanger, and the four-way reversing valve, and is divided into two streams which respectively flow into the two suction ports of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor.

[0073] In this mode: unlike the "passenger compartment + power battery simultaneous heating" mode, the refrigerant only flows through the power battery sub-circuit. The battery heat exchanger acts as a condenser, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing out of the exhaust port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor is condensed and heat-released therein, thereby providing heat for the power battery. The refrigerant after condensation and heat release becomes a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The second electronic expansion valve functions as a throttling pressure-reducing and flow-regulating device, and the refrigerant after throttling pressure-reducing becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure wet vapor state. The external heat exchanger acts as an evaporator, and the refrigerant therein absorbs heat from the outside air and evaporates to become a superheated state, and finally is divided into two streams which respectively flow into the two suction ports of the electric compressor for compression. At this time, the second electromagnetic valve is in the connected state and functions as a bypass, so that the pressures of the two streams of refrigerant before flowing into the two suction ports of the electric compressor are equalized.

[0074] The principle diagram of the "passenger compartment heating + power battery waste heat recovery" mode is as shown in Figure 8 At this time, the first path 1 and the second path 2 of the four-way reversing valve are connected, the third path 3 and the fourth path 4 are connected; the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve are both opened; the first path a and the third path c of the first three-way valve are connected, and the second path b is closed; the first path a and the third path c of the second three-way valve are connected, and the second path b is closed; the second path b and the third path c of the third three-way valve are connected, and the first path a is closed; the first electromagnetic valve is connected, and the second electromagnetic valve is closed;

[0075] After the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor, it flows through the four-way reversing valve, the third three-way valve, and the passenger cabin heat exchanger in sequence, and is divided into two paths: the power battery waste heat recovery sub-circuit and the vehicle external heat exchanger heat absorption sub-circuit. The refrigerant in the power battery waste heat recovery sub-circuit flows through the second three-way valve, the second electronic expansion valve, the battery heat exchanger, and the first electromagnetic valve in sequence, and then flows into the first suction port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor. The refrigerant in the vehicle external heat exchanger heat absorption sub-circuit flows through the first electronic expansion valve, the first three-way valve, the vehicle external heat exchanger, and the four-way reversing valve in sequence, and then flows into the second suction port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor.

[0076] After the waste heat of the power battery is recovered, the refrigeration of the power battery is realized.

[0077] In this mode, the passenger cabin heat exchanger acts as a condenser, in which the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas flowing out of the exhaust port of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor is condensed and releases heat, thereby providing heat for the passenger cabin. The refrigerant after condensation and heat release becomes a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The power battery waste heat recovery sub-circuit and the vehicle external heat exchanger heat absorption sub-circuit are parallel flow path structures. The first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve function to throttle and depressurize and to regulate the flow rate. After throttling and depressurizing, the refrigerant becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure wet vapor state. The battery heat exchanger and the vehicle external heat exchanger both act as evaporators. In the battery heat exchanger, the refrigerant absorbs the waste heat of the power battery and evaporates, which not only effectively utilizes the waste heat of the power battery, but also rapidly reduces the temperature of the power battery to the optimal temperature range. In the vehicle external heat exchanger, the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the air in the external environment and evaporates. By controlling the opening degree of the first electronic expansion valve and the second electronic expansion valve, the degree of throttling and depressurizing is controlled, and the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant in the battery heat exchanger and the vehicle external heat exchanger is controlled. The refrigerant flowing out of the battery heat exchanger and the vehicle external heat exchanger is in a superheated state, and finally flows into the two suction ports of the double-suction double-rotor electric compressor for compression, respectively. At this time, the second electromagnetic valve is in a closed state to prevent the two refrigerant streams from flowing.

[0078] In an embodiment, the second three-way valve in Figure 1 is removed, and the third path c of the second three-way valve and the pipelines respectively connected between the passenger cabin heat exchanger 8 and the first electronic expansion valve 11 are also removed, so that any mode other than the mode of “passenger cabin heating + power battery waste heat recovery” can be realized.

[0079] The structural feature of the vehicle dual-evaporator thermal management system provided in the application is that the compressor used in the system is a double-suction double-rotor electric compressor, which can enable the system to stably operate at two different evaporation temperatures in the refrigeration mode, i.e., the power battery sub-circuit and the passenger cabin sub-circuit are stably operated at different evaporation temperatures. The evaporation temperature of the passenger cabin sub-circuit and the evaporation temperature of the power battery sub-circuit can be independently controlled and do not interfere with each other, which can not only more flexibly and accurately control the temperature of the passenger cabin and the power battery, but also improve the coefficient of performance of the system. The compressor can realize the recovery of waste heat of the power battery for passenger cabin heating when the passenger cabin is in the heating mode, and can realize the stable operation of the battery heat exchanger and the external heat exchanger at different evaporation temperatures.
