[0002] New energy vehicles have high and different temperature control requirements for power batteries, drive motors and other assemblies. The thermal management system pipeline design is complex, and coolant filling and exhaust are cumbersome and difficult to empty.
[0003] Existing filling exhaust systems either cannot automatically identify vehicle exhaust needs, and require exhaust refilling treatment with professional diagnostic maintenance equipment at the repair point during vehicle repair or routine maintenance. Some also set up multiple expansion water tanks in the vehicle thermal management system, and set up multiple devices on the vehicle production line for coolant filling; or set up an integrated expansion water tank in the thermal management system and use a filling device, but both require the use of professional equipment for exhaust treatment.
[0004] The above thermal management system filling and exhausting have defects: the thermal management system cannot automatically identify the vehicle filling and exhausting needs, and there is inevitably air in the complex new energy thermal management circuit, which will affect the service life and performance of components such as the water pump in the thermal management system, causing system performance to decline, and may even cause the motor battery to shut down due to overheating; when the vehicle is repaired and maintained, it is necessary to use professional diagnostic equipment to identify whether the thermal management system needs exhaust and rehydration, and control the system exhaust through professional tools, which is inconvenient to operate and will incur additional costs, and the user experience is poor. Exhaust equipment is required on the vehicle production line, which is inconvenient to operate, the vehicle production cost is high, the filling efficiency is low, and the after-sales maintenance efficiency of the vehicle is low.

[0057] The expansion tank is connected to the motor cooling circulation water circuit and the battery temperature control circulation water circuit through the filling pipeline, and is connected to the motor cooling circulation water circuit and the battery temperature control circulation water circuit through the degassing pipeline; two liquid level sensors are provided on the expansion water tank to detect the liquid level of the motor battery thermal management system respectively; a partition with a height to the highest liquid level line is provided to avoid temperature cross-talk when the motor battery thermal management system works independently; and a filling port is provided for adding coolant.
[0058] The four-way valve is arranged between the motor cooling circulation water circuit and the battery temperature control circulation water circuit, and can conduct the two water circuits in the control box of the control module for liquid injection and exhaust.
[0059] The control module, the input end is connected to the output end of the liquid level sensor of the expansion tank, the output end of the motor water pump in the motor cooling circulation water circuit, the current output end of the battery water pump in the battery temperature control circulation water circuit, the state output end of the four-way valve and the vehicle CAN bus, and the output end is connected to the instrument, the motor water pump control end in the motor cooling circulation water circuit, the battery water pump control end in the battery temperature control circulation water circuit and the enable end of the four-way valve.

The present invention uses a filling and exhaust control method combined with an integrated expansion water tank. Only one filling device and one person are required on the automobile production line. The vehicle production cost is low, the filling efficiency is high, and the after-sales maintenance efficiency of the vehicle is high.
[0062] The control method for filling and exhausting of the present invention is specifically as follows:

[0072] 3. When the control module detects that the motor water pump current is lower than I M , the battery pump current is higher than I B When the four-way valve is turned on, the control module reads the current four-way valve state S and forwards the prompt message "Cooling system needs to be exhausted" to the instrument display to remind the driver to stop the car for exhaust.
[0073] After parking, the driver performs the following steps in sequence: shift to neutral gear - pull the handbrake - turn the key to the ON gear - and press the brake pedal n times within the time T0.
[0074] 3.1) When the four-way valve state S is S0, switch the four-way valve to state S1, and the battery water pump starts running T P Duration, the motor and water pump start running after a delay of t seconds T P -t duration.
[0075] T P After that, the prompt message "Cooling system needs to be exhausted" disappears. If the motor water pump current is still lower than I M , the control module forwards the prompt message "motor water pump failure" to the instrument display.
[0076] The motor battery water pump stops and the four-way valve status switches back to S0.
[0077] 3.2) When the four-way valve state S is S1, the four-way valve state is switched to S0, and the motor water pump starts running at n% speed T P Duration.
[0078] T P After that, the prompt message "Cooling system needs to be exhausted" disappears. If the motor water pump current is still lower than I M , the control module forwards the prompt message "motor water pump failure" to the instrument display.
[0079] The motor water pump stops.
[0080] 4. When the control module detects that the battery water pump current is lower than I B and the motor water pump current is lower than I M When the four-way valve is turned on, the control module reads the current four-way valve state S and forwards the prompt message "Cooling system needs to be exhausted" to the instrument display to remind the driver to stop the car for exhaust.

[0082] 4.1) When the four-way valve state S is S0, the four-way valve state is switched to S1, and the battery motor water pump starts running at n% speed T P Duration.
[0083] T P After that, the prompt message "Cooling system needs to be exhausted" disappears. If the battery water pump current is still lower than I B , the control module will forward the prompt information "battery water pump failure" to the instrument display; if the motor water pump current is still lower than I M , the control module forwards the prompt message "motor water pump failure" to the instrument display.
[0084] The motor battery water pump stops and the four-way valve status switches back to S0.
[0085] 4.2) When the four-way valve state S is S1, the four-way valve state is switched to S0, and the battery motor water pump starts running at n% speed T P Duration.
[0086] T P After that, the prompt message "Cooling system needs to be exhausted" disappears. If the battery water pump current is still lower than I B , the control module will forward the prompt information "battery water pump failure" to the instrument display; if the motor water pump current is still lower than I M , the control module forwards the prompt message "motor water pump failure" to the instrument display.
[0087] Motor battery water pump shut down.
[0088] The above exhaust process controls the switching of the four-way valve state S, with the purpose of changing the connection state of the water channel to facilitate exhaust.
[0089] 2. When the vehicle is offline or undergoing maintenance and coolant replacement:
[0090] (1) With the vehicle stationary, add coolant to the maximum level.
[0091] (2) Within T0 after the key is turned to the ON position, press the brake pedal n+2 times.

[0093] (4) Add coolant to the maximum liquid level.
[0094] (5) Repeat (2) to (4) until the liquid level stops dropping.
[0095] The definitions of the above parameters are as follows:
[0096] S, four-way valve status;
[0097] S0, the initial state of the four-way valve, the independent state of the motor battery thermal management system;
[0098] S1, four-way valve state 1, motor battery thermal management system series state;

[0102] n, the preset number of driver actions;
[0103] T P , preset the running time of the water pump;
[0104] t, preset water pump delay action time.
[0105] The present invention realizes automatic identification of the filling and exhaust requirements of the new energy thermal management system through intelligent and integrated design ideas. After simple operation by the driver, the filling and exhaust can be automatically performed. The operation is convenient and saves maintenance costs and time. When the vehicle is offline and the coolant is replaced during maintenance, only one filling device and one person are required, which improves the efficiency of coolant filling and production rhythm of the production line, and improves the efficiency of vehicle maintenance.
