Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal management of pure electric heavy-duty trucks, and in particular to a thermal management architecture for a passenger compartment and a battery heavy-duty truck model. Background Art

[0002] Pure electric heavy-duty trucks are now making up a growing portion of the heavy-duty truck market. The biggest pain point affecting electric vehicles is range. Winter air conditioning and battery heating are among the main culprits contributing to range degradation. Traditional PTC heaters can cause up to a 50% reduction in range. Traditional heat pumps, however, use electric compressors, which can limit this reduction to approximately 75%. Existing thermal management solutions for pure electric heavy-duty trucks include: Most currently available on the market utilize separate battery thermal management, electric drive thermal management, and air conditioning. This prevents efficient utilization of electric drive heat. The battery utilizes a separate motor and heating film, or PTC heating.

[0003] Disadvantages: The existing thermal management method causes a 50% reduction in battery life. Furthermore, the layout requires more parts and piping, increasing component costs and space usage, which in turn increases vehicle weight. The heating film method offers little benefit in heating the battery in extremely low temperatures. Summary of the Invention

[0042] This invention is designed for heavy-duty trucks, where motor 14 has high torque. Even if the heat generated is high, if the battery and passenger compartment heat demand is low, or if the heat pump and PTC system have been heating the vehicle for a period of time, the coolant at the motor 14 outlet can be controlled by controlling the water pump speed to directly heat the battery and passenger compartment. This effectively reduces the operating time of high-voltage components and significantly reduces battery life degradation.

[0043] The working principle and working process of the present invention are as follows:

[0044] Typical thermal management modes include integrated mode. This solution's key feature is its integration of the electric drive, battery, and air conditioner. The entire water circuit is connected via two four-way valves, a three-way proportional valve 38, and a shut-off valve 29. To meet varying heat or cooling requirements, simply change the valve opening. This allows for a combination of various modes, including electric drive cooling, battery heating and cooling, and air conditioning cooling and heating. The water circuits for the electric drive, battery, and heater can be switched between series and parallel connections.

[0045] Another common thermal management mode is heat pump heating. In this mode, when the radiator's four-way valve 25 is switched to cb, the three-way valve 4's ac circuit opens, bypassing the radiator 5. The heat pump absorbs heat from the electric drive through the plate heat exchanger 23. The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor and dissipated at the water-cooled condenser 17, heating the coolant. The hot liquid flowing through the heater core 21 heats the passenger compartment. Simultaneously, the three-way proportional valve 38ac opens, directing heat into the battery circuit, thereby heating the battery. The heat distribution in each circuit is as follows:

[0046] Refrigerant side: electric compressor 27 (power supply) → muffler 24 → first temperature and pressure sensor 28 → water-cooled condenser 17 (heat release) → electronic expansion valve → plate heat exchanger 23 (heat absorption) → second temperature and pressure sensor 22 → electric compressor 27;

[0047] Coolant (heating): water-cooled condenser 17 (hot water) → heater core 21 (passenger compartment heating) → heater water pump 26 → ab line of three-way proportional valve 38 (ac line of three-way proportional valve 38 → battery pack 35 (battery heating) → battery water pump 32 → cb line of battery four-way valve 31 → battery pack 35 (where the rear side of battery water pump 32 is diverted to the main line)) → water-cooled condenser 17;

[0048] Coolant (provides heat source): PDU (power distribution unit 12) / MCU (control unit 13) / motor 14 (hot water) → ab line of three-way valve 4 → electric water pump 11 → cb line of radiator four-way valve 25 → plate heat exchanger 23 (provides hot water, refrigerant absorbs heat) → cb line of battery four-way valve 31 → ad line of radiator four-way valve 25 → PDU / MCU / motor 14.

[0049] Another commonly used thermal management mode is the electric drive waste heat heating mode. In this mode, the energy flow is:

[0050] Coolant circulation: PDU / MCUC / motor 14 (high-temperature coolant here) → first temperature sensor 39 → ac line of three-way valve 4 → second temperature sensor 6 → electric water pump 11 → ca line of radiator four-way valve 25 → plate heat exchanger 23 → cb line of battery four-way valve 31 → battery pack 35 (with heating demand) → battery water pump 32 → ab line of battery four-way valve 31 → ad line of motor 14 four-way valve → PDU / MCU / motor 14.

[0051] This mode uses the residual heat from motor 14 to heat the passenger compartment and battery. This mode is activated when the residual heat from motor 14 is high, reaching around 60°C in heavy-duty trucks, and can meet the battery's cooling requirements. This mode has the advantage of not requiring high-voltage components to operate, significantly saving energy.

[0052] The characteristics of the present invention are:

[0053] (1) The waste heat from the motor 14 is used in conjunction with a heat pump for heating, as verified by simulation and testing. Based on the principle of energy management and allocation, the waste heat generated by the vehicle is optimally utilized to achieve energy recycling. This minimizes the degradation of the cruising range, which is expected to increase by 10%, allowing the cruising range in winter to reach approximately 85% of that at normal temperatures.

[0054] (2) The integrated architecture effectively saves space and reduces weight. It also significantly reduces the total number of components, lowering procurement costs. Traditional heavy-duty trucks use a separate thermal management unit for the battery. Therefore, the entire vehicle requires two sets of compressors, radiators, and electronic fans. This patent also reduces the total number of components and costs.

[0055] (3) It can be used for platform development. The entire thermal management architecture can cover the air conditioning, battery and electric drive as an integrated architecture. With the corresponding interfaces reserved, it can also be used for other similar models.

[0056] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the contents described are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of this patent.
