[0068] Embodiment 1

[0072] The refrigerant circuit 2, the refrigerant circuit 2 is used to perform heat exchange with the PTC heating water circuit 1 and the electric drive circuit respectively.

[0073] The six-way valve 3, the six-way valve 3 is respectively connected to each branch of the PTC heating water circuit 1; the six-way valve 3 is used to make the air-conditioning branch 7 and the heat exchange branch 8 be in parallel with each other, and at the same time be in series with the PTC branch 5.

[0074] The seven-way valve 4, the seven-way valve 4 is respectively connected to each branch of the electric drive circuit; the seven-way valve 4 is used to make the battery branch 9 form a loop alone, and the electric drive branch 10, the battery cooling branch 11, and the radiator branch 12 are connected in series to form a loop.

[0075] Wherein, the heat of the PTC heating water circuit 1 is used to heat the battery branch 9 and the air-conditioning branch 7; at the same time, the electric drive branch 10, the battery cooling branch 11, and the radiator branch 12 are used to absorb the ambient heat.

[0076] Specifically, referring to Figures 6 to 17 , the PTC branch 5 has a first input end 101 and a first output end 102; the engine branch 6 has a second input end 103 and a second output end 104; the air-conditioning branch 7 has a third input end 105 and a third output end 106; the heat exchange branch 8 has a fourth input end 107 and a fourth output end 108.

[0077] The battery branch 9 has a fifth input end 109 and a fifth output end 110; the electric drive branch 10 has a sixth input end 111 and a sixth output end 112; the battery cooling branch 11 has a seventh input end 113 and a seventh output end 114; the radiator branch 12 has an eighth input end 115 and an eighth output end 116; the eighth output end 116 is communicated with the sixth input end 111.

[0078] Specifically, the six-way valve 3 has a first end 201, a second end 202, a third end 203, a fourth end 204, a fifth end 205, and a sixth end 206.

[0079] The first end 201 is in communication with the first output end 102; the second end 202 is in communication with the fourth input end 107; the third end 203 is in communication with the third input end 105; the fourth end 204 is in communication with the third output end 106 and the fourth output end 108; the fifth end 205 is in communication with the first input end 101 and the second output end 104; the sixth end 206 is in communication with the second input end 103.

[0080] Specifically, the seven-way valve 4 has a seventh end 207, an eighth end 208, a ninth end 209, a tenth end 210, an eleventh end 211, a twelfth end 212, and a thirteenth end 213.

[0081] The seventh end 207 is in communication with the seventh input end 113; the eighth end 208 is in communication with the seventh output end 114; the ninth end 209 is in communication with the sixth output end 112; the tenth end 210 is in communication with the sixth input end 111; the eleventh end 211 is in communication with the eighth input end 115; the twelfth end 212 is in communication with the fifth input end 109; the thirteenth end 213 is in communication with the fifth output end 110.

[0082] In some embodiments, the functions of all the water valves in the entire thermal management system are concentrated on a six-way valve 3 and a seven-way valve 4. By connecting the respective ends of the six-way valve 3 to the PTC branch 5, the engine branch 6, the air-conditioning branch 7, and the heat exchange branch 8 of the PTC heating water circuit 1; and connecting the respective ends of the seven-way valve 4 to the battery branch 9, the electric drive branch 10, the battery cooling branch 11, and the radiator branch 12 of the electric drive circuit, the states of the six-way valve 3 and the seven-way valve 4 can be freely switched, thereby switching the connection relationships between the respective branches. Ultimately, the waste heat generated by the engine can be reasonably distributed according to actual needs, and the waste heat generated by the engine can be used to heat the passenger compartment and the battery in a cold environment, ensuring that passengers have a good riding experience; at the same time, the battery can be maintained within the normal operating temperature range, ensuring the normal operation of the entire vehicle.

[0083] The thermal management system provided by the present application only includes a six-way valve 3 and a seven-way valve 4, which can realize the reasonable utilization of the entire engine waste heat; the pipeline structure of the thermal management system is simplified through a simpler design, reducing the cost consumption of the water valve.

[0084] In some embodiments, in the thermal management system provided by the present application, heat is transferred by means of heat exchange between multiple loops. The hot water generated at the PTC flows from the PTC branch 5 to the heat exchange branch 8, and the heat in the hot water is transferred to the water in the battery branch 9 through a plate heat exchanger; the cooling water in the battery branch 9 is used to absorb heat secondly and flows to the battery pack to heat the battery pack; it can avoid the hot water generated by heating at the PTC from directly flowing through the battery pack, generating a thermal shock and damaging the battery pack.

[0085] Among them, according to the first law and the second law of thermodynamics, during the heat transfer process between two loops, part of the heat will be dissipated to the environment with a lower temperature, and the heat-absorbing side can only absorb part of the heat. Therefore, using the water in the battery branch 9 to absorb heat secondly will make the water temperature after the secondary heat absorption significantly lower than the water temperature at the PTC; furthermore, the water temperature for heating the battery pack will not be too high, thus avoiding thermal shock and damaging the battery pack, and ensuring that the battery is in a normal operating temperature range.

[0086] In some embodiments, aiming at the problem that using motor stall to generate heat to heat the battery will generate relatively large noise in the prior art, the thermal management system provided by the present application utilizes the heat generated during motor operation, absorbs the heat through the cooling water in the electric drive branch 10, and transfers the heat to the battery pack to heat the battery when the seven-way valve 4 connects the electric drive branch 10 and the battery branch 9. In this way, there is no need for the motor to stall to generate heat, which can reduce motor noise and improve the NHV performance of the whole vehicle.

[0087] Further, the six-way valve 3 has a first state; when the six-way valve 3 is in the first state, the air-conditioning branch 7 and the heat exchange branch 8 are connected in parallel with each other and in series with the PTC branch 5;

[0088] The seven-way valve 4 has a sixth state; when the seven-way valve 4 is in the sixth state, the battery branch 9 forms a loop alone; the electric drive branch 10, the battery cooling branch 11 and the radiator branch 12 are connected in series to form a loop.

[0089] Specifically, the six-way valve 3 has a first state, a second state, a third state and a fourth state.

[0090] When in the first state, the first end 201, the second end 202 and the third end 203 are connected, and the fourth end 204 and the fifth end 205 are connected;

[0091] When in the second state, the first end 201, the second end 202 and the third end 203 are connected, and the fourth end 204 and the sixth end 206 are connected;

[0092] When in the third state, the first end 201 and the second end 202 are connected, and the fourth end 204 and the fifth end 205 are connected;

[0093] When in the fourth state, the first end 201 and the second end 202 are connected, and the fourth end 204 and the sixth end 206 are connected;

[0094] Specifically, the seven-way valve 4 has a fifth state, a sixth state, a seventh state, an eighth state, a ninth state, a tenth state, and an eleventh state.

[0095] When in the fifth state, the seventh end 207 and the twelfth end 212 are connected, the eighth end 208 and the thirteenth end 213 are connected, and the ninth end 209 and the eleventh end 211 are connected;

[0096] When in the sixth state, the twelfth end 212 and the thirteenth end 213 are connected, the seventh end 207 and the eleventh end 211 are connected, and the eighth end 208 and the ninth end 209 are connected;

[0097] When in the seventh state, the twelfth end 212 and the thirteenth end 213 are connected, the seventh end 207 and the tenth end 210 are connected, and the eighth end 208 and the ninth end 209 are connected;

[0098] When in the eighth state, the seventh end 207 and the tenth end 210 are connected, the eighth end 208 and the thirteenth end 213 are connected, and the ninth end 209 and the twelfth end 212 are connected;

[0099] When in the ninth state, the twelfth end 212 and the thirteenth end 213 are connected;

[0100] When in the tenth state, the seventh end 207 and the eleventh end 211 are connected, the eighth end 208 and the thirteenth end 213 are connected, and the ninth end 209 and the twelfth end 212 are connected;

[0101] When in the eleventh state, the ninth end 209 and the eleventh end 211 are connected.

[0102] Specifically, according to the connection relationships described above, since the respective ends of the six-way valve 3 and the seven-way valve 4 are respectively connected to the input or output ends of the respective branches; at the same time, the states of the six-way valve 3 and the seven-way valve 4 are switched to connect the respective ends inside the valves, thereby connecting the corresponding branches. In the above manner, a six-way valve 3 and a seven-way valve 4 can be used to freely switch the connection relationships between multiple branches, simplify the pipeline layout, and reasonably distribute the heat in the system.

[0103] Further, a plate heat exchanger 18 is connected in series on the heat exchange branch 8; the battery branch 9 is communicated with the other two ends of the plate heat exchanger 18 and a battery module 19 is also connected in series.

[0104] The heat exchange branch 8 exchanges heat with the battery branch 9 through the plate heat exchanger 18.

[0105] In some embodiments, the heat exchange branch 8 exchanges heat with the battery branch 9 through the plate heat exchanger 18, which can utilize the cooling water to absorb heat at the engine and flow to the plate heat exchanger 18 of the heat exchange branch 8. The heat is transferred to the battery branch 9 through the plate heat exchanger 18, and then the heat is transferred to the battery pack through the cooling water in the battery branch 9 to heat the battery.

[0106] Specifically, the cooling water in the battery branch 9 absorbs heat for the second time and flows to the battery pack to heat the battery pack; it can avoid the hot water generated by heating at the PTC directly flowing to the battery pack, resulting in thermal shock and damaging the battery pack.

[0107] Further, a water-cooled condenser 16 and a PTC 13 are connected in series on the PTC branch 5; an engine assembly 14 and a first radiator 15 are connected in series on the engine branch 6; an air-conditioning box 17 is connected in series on the air-conditioning branch 7.

[0108] An electric drive module 20 and a water storage kettle 21 are connected in series on the electric drive branch 10; a battery cooler 22 is connected in series on the battery cooling branch 11; a second radiator 23 is connected in series on the radiator branch 12.

[0109] The battery cooling branch 11 exchanges heat with the refrigerant circuit 2 through the battery cooler 22.

[0110] In some embodiments, the battery cooling branch 11 exchanges heat with the refrigerant circuit 2 through the battery cooler 22; when the seven-way valve 4 connects the battery branch 9 and the battery cooling branch 11, the lower-temperature cooling water in the refrigerant circuit 2 can absorb the temperature of the cooling water in the battery cooling branch 11, and then dissipate the heat generated when the battery outputs electric energy outward, avoiding the temperature at the battery pack being too high and ensuring that the battery pack works within a normal temperature range.

[0111] Further, the refrigerant circuit 2 includes: a compressor 24, a water-cooled condenser 16, a liquid storage tank 25 and a battery cooler 22 connected in series in sequence; the water-cooled condenser 16 is connected in parallel with an air-cooled condenser 26; the battery cooler 22 is connected in parallel with the air-conditioning box 17.

[0112] The refrigerant circuit 2 exchanges heat with the PTC branch 5 through the water-cooled condenser 16; exchanges heat with the battery cooling branch 11 through the battery cooler 22; and exchanges heat with the air-conditioning branch 7 through the air-conditioning box 17.

[0113] In some embodiments, a compressor 24, a water-cooled condenser 16, an air-cooled condenser 26, and a battery cooler 22 for cooling the cooling water in the circuit are connected to the refrigerant circuit 2. Both ends of the water-cooled condenser 16 are connected to the refrigerant circuit 2, and the other two ends are connected to the PTC branch 5, for absorbing the heat of the cooling water in the PTC branch 5 to cool the PTC branch 5.

[0114] Specifically, both ends of the battery cooler 22 are connected to the battery cooling branch 11, and the other two ends are connected to the refrigerant circuit 2, for exchanging heat between the battery cooling branch 11 and the refrigerant circuit 2.

[0122] In some embodiments, after the water-cooled condenser 16 cools the cooling water in the PTC branch 5, the third solenoid valve or the fourth solenoid valve is opened; so that the cooling water that has absorbed heat in the refrigerant circuit 2 flows through the air-conditioning branch 7 or the battery cooling branch 11 to heat the passenger compartment or the battery pack. In the above manner, the refrigerant circuit 2 can be used to cool the PTC heating water circuit 1 and transfer the heat to the electric drive circuit; the function of cooling the circuit is realized.

[0130] The cooling water in the PTC heating water circuit 1 absorbs heat at the engine branch 6 and then releases heat at the heat exchange branch 8 and the air-conditioning branch 7; the second radiator 23 connected to the air-conditioning branch 7 and the radiator branch 12 is used to dissipate heat from the engine branch 6 connected to the engine.

[0131] In some embodiments, when the six-way valve 3 is in the second state, the first end 201, the second end 202 and the third end 203 are connected, and the fourth end 204 and the sixth end 206 are connected; at this time, the air-conditioning branch 7 and the heat exchange branch 8 are connected in parallel with each other and are connected in series with the PTC branch 5 and the engine branch 6 in sequence.

[0133] Specifically, the cooling water in the PTC heating water circuit 1 absorbs heat at the engine branch 6 and then flows to the heat exchange branch 8 and the air-conditioning branch 7, and releases heat through the plate heat exchanger 18 and the air-conditioning box 17 respectively; the plate heat exchanger 18 releases heat by transferring the heat to the radiator branch 12. In the above manner, the second radiator 23 connected to the air-conditioning branch 7 and the radiator branch 12 can be used to dissipate heat from the engine branch 6 connected to the engine, and all the heat dissipation devices in the entire thermal management system can be reasonably used to dissipate heat from the engine, improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0134] Further, when the six-way valve 3 is in the third state and the seven-way valve 4 is in the tenth state, the PTC branch 5 and the heat exchange branch 8 are connected in series to form a loop; the battery branch 9, the electric drive branch 10, the battery cooling branch 11, and the radiator branch 12 are connected in series to form a loop;

[0135] The cooling water in the refrigerant circuit 2 releases heat and is cooled at the PTC branch 5 and absorbs heat at the battery cooling branch 11;

Since the battery branch 9, the electric drive branch 10, the battery cooling branch 11, and the radiator branch 12 are connected in series to form a loop together, the heat transferred by the plate heat exchanger 18 is transferred to the second radiator 23 through the water circulation of the entire electric drive circuit to heat the second radiator 23. By the above method, the frost attached to the surface of the second radiator 23 can be removed by heating, ensuring that the second radiator 23 can normally perform heat dissipation work.
