There is a fan behind the electric heating pipe to provide constant temperature control signals and actual temperature data for the multi-target tracking frequency conversion control system and the refrigerant direct cooling and direct heating system;

[0042] The constant temperature box provides a closed test environment. and smoke alarm to adjust and maintain the temperature in the thermostatic chamber. During the thermostatic chamber test, when the set temperature is higher than the ambient temperature, the electric heating tube starts the heating mode. When the set temperature is lower than the ambient temperature, the refrigeration system starts the cooling and cooling mode. When the set temperature is reached, the refrigeration and heating tubes work at the same time to achieve energy-saving operation and control the temperature within the preset range. The refrigeration system adopts frequency conversion control to save operating power consumption.

[0043] The refrigerant direct cooling and direct heating system can flexibly switch between direct cooling and direct heating modes according to the charge and discharge status of the battery pack, the real-time temperature and the set target temperature; direct cooling mode: the first compressor, the first condenser, the first subcooler, the first electronic expansion valve, the first evaporator, the first pressure regulating valve and the regenerator; direct heating mode: the first compressor, the first bypass valve No. 1, the first subcooler, the first bypass valve No. 2, the first direct heating electronic expansion valve, the first regenerator, providing adjusted parameter points such as temperature and pressure for the multi-target tracking variable frequency control system;

[0044] In direct cooling mode: the first compressor is connected to the first condenser, then passes through the first subcooler, then flows into the first electronic expansion valve, then connected to the first evaporator, and then passes through the first pressure regulating valve and the regenerator before returning to the first compressor; the first condenser fan controls the condensing pressure, the first subcooler fan controls the subcooling degree, the cold plate outlet pressure is controlled by the first pressure regulating valve, and the cold plate outlet superheat degree is controlled by the first electronic expansion valve; in direct heating mode: the first compressor is connected to the No. 1 first bypass valve, then passes through the first subcooler, then passes through the No. 2 first bypass valve, passes through the subcooling plate, and then connects to the first direct heating electronic expansion valve, then passes through the first regenerator and returns to the first compressor; the first subcooler fan controls the battery pack inlet superheat degree, the No. 2 first bypass valve controls the battery pack inlet pressure, and the first direct heating electronic expansion valve controls the battery pack outlet superheat degree;

[0045] The multi-target tracking frequency conversion control system is based on the constant temperature environment control system and the refrigerant direct cooling and heating system.

[0048] Refer to the attached Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of a comprehensive thermal management method for testing a new energy lithium battery provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the method comprising the following steps:

[0049] S1. Set the target temperature range, monitor the temperature inside the thermostat, obtain the ambient temperature outside the thermostat, determine whether to start the heating or cooling mode, and maintain a constant temperature environment; in a constant temperature environment, switch the direct cooling and direct heating mode based on the charge and discharge status of the new energy lithium battery, the real-time temperature, and the set target temperature range, and obtain the adjusted parameter point;

[0050] The user sets the target temperature range according to the test requirements, and the temperature sensor monitors the current temperature inside the thermostatic chamber in real time, and obtains the ambient temperature outside the thermostatic chamber to determine whether to start the heating or cooling mode; when the temperature inside the thermostatic chamber is lower than the set target temperature range, the heating mode is started, the electric heating tube is started, and heating begins. At the same time, the fan is started to evenly distribute heat, so that the temperature inside the thermostatic chamber gradually rises. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the thermostatic chamber in real time to ensure that the temperature rises evenly; when the temperature inside the thermostatic chamber reaches the set target temperature range, the electric heating tube and the fan stop heating, and the new energy lithium battery test The integrated thermal management system is used to enter the constant temperature mode. When the temperature inside the thermostatic box is higher than the set target temperature range, the refrigeration mode is started, and the second compressor compresses the refrigerant into high-pressure and high-temperature gas, which is then cooled by the second condenser and becomes a high-pressure and normal-temperature liquid. It is throttled and expanded by the second electronic expansion valve and becomes a low-pressure and low-temperature liquid. It then passes through the second evaporator and absorbs heat before becoming a low-pressure and normal-temperature gas and returns to the compressor. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the thermostatic box in real time to ensure that the temperature drops evenly. When the temperature inside the thermostatic box reaches the set target temperature range, the refrigeration is stopped, and the integrated thermal management system for new energy lithium battery testing enters the constant temperature mode.

[0051] When the temperature inside the thermostatic box reaches the set target temperature range, the refrigeration and heating pipes work simultaneously to ensure that the temperature is stable within the set target temperature range; the temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the thermostatic box in real time, and dynamically adjusts the working status of refrigeration and heating based on the feedback of the multi-target tracking frequency conversion control system, and avoids temperature fluctuations and maintains a constant temperature by precisely controlling the constant temperature environmental control system.

[0052] In a constant temperature environment, the direct cooling and direct heating modes can be flexibly switched based on the charge and discharge status of the new energy lithium battery, the real-time temperature and the set target temperature range; the charge and discharge status of the new energy lithium battery is specifically as follows:

[0053] Charging state: When the lithium battery pack is in the charging state, it will generate more heat, which needs to be quickly dissipated through the direct cooling mode to ensure that the lithium battery works within the safe temperature range; Discharging state: During the discharge process, the lithium battery will also generate heat, and the direct cooling mode is also applicable; Standby state: When the lithium battery is in the standby state, decide whether to switch to the direct heating mode according to the ambient temperature and the set temperature to maintain the working temperature of the lithium battery. If the battery pack is charging or discharging, and the real-time temperature is higher than the set temperature range, select the direct cooling mode; if the battery pack is charging or discharging, and the real-time temperature is lower than the set temperature range, select the direct heating mode. If the battery pack is in the standby state, and the real-time temperature is higher than the set temperature range, select the direct cooling mode; if the battery pack is in the standby state, and the real-time temperature is lower than the set temperature range, select the direct heating mode.

[0054] For the direct cooling mode, the first compressor is started, and the first compressor compresses the refrigerant into high-pressure and high-temperature gas, and the refrigeration cycle begins. The refrigerant is cooled by the first condenser, and the high-pressure and high-temperature gas refrigerant passes through the first condenser and is condensed into a high-pressure and normal-temperature liquid. The first subcooler further reduces the temperature, and the high-pressure and normal-temperature liquid refrigerant passes through the first subcooler, and the temperature is further reduced to form a high-pressure and low-temperature liquid. The first electronic expansion valve throttles and expands, and the high-pressure and low-temperature liquid refrigerant passes through the first electronic expansion valve throttles and expands to become a low-pressure and low-temperature liquid. The first evaporator exchanges heat and absorbs heat, and the low-pressure and low-temperature liquid refrigerant enters the first evaporator, exchanges heat with the external heat source, absorbs heat and becomes a low-pressure and normal-temperature gas. The first pressure regulating valve and the regenerator return to the first compressor after adjustment, and the low-pressure and normal-temperature gas refrigerant passes through the first pressure regulating valve and the regenerator, adjusts the pressure and recovers part of the heat, and then returns to the first compressor to complete a cycle. In the direct cooling mode, the first condenser fan: controls the condensing pressure to ensure that the pressure in the condenser is stable within the set range. The first subcooler fan: controls the subcooling degree to ensure that the temperature of the refrigerant reaches the optimal state before entering the first electronic expansion valve. The first pressure regulating valve: controls the outlet pressure of the cold plate to ensure that the pressure is within the set range. The first electronic expansion valve: controls the outlet superheat of the cold plate to ensure that the outlet superheat is within the set range.

[0055] For direct heating mode, start the first compressor, which compresses the refrigerant into high-pressure and high-temperature gas to start the heating cycle. The refrigerant enters the first subcooler through the first bypass valve No. 1, and the high-pressure and high-temperature gas refrigerant passes through the first bypass valve No. 1 and directly enters the first subcooler. After passing through the first bypass valve No. 2 and the cold plate, the refrigerant passes through the first bypass valve No. 2 and the cold plate, exchanges heat with the cold plate, releases heat, and reduces the temperature. It returns to the first compressor through the first direct heating electronic expansion valve and the regenerator, and the refrigerant expands through the throttling of the first direct heating electronic expansion valve, and then passes through the regenerator to recover part of the heat before returning to the first compressor to complete a cycle. In the direct heating mode, the first subcooler fan: controls the superheat of the battery pack inlet to ensure that the refrigerant temperature before entering the battery pack is moderate. The second first bypass valve: controls the inlet pressure of the battery pack to ensure that the pressure is within the set range. The first electronic expansion valve: controls the outlet superheat of the battery pack to ensure that the outlet superheat is within the set range.

[0056] The adjusted parameter points are obtained through the above process, and the adjusted parameter points include temperature and pressure parameter points. The adjusted parameter points are transmitted to the multi-target tracking frequency conversion control system. Through the adjusted temperature and pressure data, the multi-target tracking frequency conversion control system can accurately control the operating state of the comprehensive thermal management system for new energy lithium battery testing to ensure stable and efficient operation of the system.

[0057] S2. Based on the adjusted parameter points, real-time temperature data in a constant temperature environment, and temperature requirements at different stages during the lithium battery test, multi-target tracking variable frequency control technology is used to optimize and adjust, obtain adjustment signals and optimized parameter points, and adjust the working state according to the adjustment signals and optimized parameter points;

[0058] Based on the adjusted parameter points, real-time temperature data in a constant temperature environment, and the temperature requirements at different stages during the lithium battery test, the multi-target tracking variable frequency control technology is used to dynamically adjust the frequency and power of the compressor and electric heater to ensure the temperature requirements at different test stages.
