One path passes through the first port of the first solenoid valve, passes through the inlet of the second solenoid valve, and the first outlet of the second solenoid valve to flow through the heater core. At this time, the second outlet of the second solenoid valve is closed; the other path passes through the second port of the first solenoid valve to flow through the seat exchange valve The heat exchanger forms a circulation loop. In this state, the first outlet of the third solenoid valve, the second outlet of the third solenoid valve, the inlet of the third solenoid valve and the fourth port of the fourth solenoid valve are all closed, and the first port of the fourth solenoid valve, the second port of the fourth solenoid valve, the third port of the fourth solenoid valve, the first port of the first solenoid valve, the second port of the first solenoid valve and the third port of the first solenoid valve are all opened; at this time, the heater fan and the seat fan are not turned on, and the set temperature in the cab and the surface temperature of the seat heat exchanger are obtained.

When the difference between the surface temperature of the heater core and the set temperature in the cab is greater than 5°C, the heater fan starts; when the difference between the surface temperature of the seat heat exchanger and the set temperature in the cab is greater than 5°C, the seat fan starts; when the coolant temperature reaches the preset upper limit, the power of the heater is controlled to be reduced to 60% of the heater rated power and maintained.
[0027] When the motor is in the hot engine state, in response to the driver's heating demand, the coolant temperature at the liquid inlet of the electric drive radiator is obtained. If the coolant temperature is not lower than the first preset value, the coolant in the heat circulation loop of the motor and the motor controller passes through the inlet of the third solenoid valve, the second outlet of the third solenoid valve, the fourth port of the fourth solenoid valve, the first port of the fourth solenoid valve, and the second port of the fourth solenoid valve, and flows through the heater core and the seat heat exchanger respectively.

One path passes through the first port of the first solenoid valve, passes through the inlet of the second solenoid valve, and the first outlet of the second solenoid valve to flow through the heater core, and the other path passes through the second port of the first solenoid valve to flow through the seat heat exchanger to form a circulation loop. At this time, the second outlet of the second solenoid valve and the fourth port of the fourth solenoid valve are closed, and the coolant circuit is in a self-circulating state; when the coolant temperature at the inlet of the heater and the coolant at the outlet of the heater are When the absolute value of the temperature difference is less than 2°C, and the larger of the coolant temperature at the heater's fluid inlet and the coolant temperature at the heater's fluid outlet is greater than or equal to a preset upper limit, the second port of the first solenoid valve and the first port of the first solenoid valve are controlled to maintain openings of 70% and 30%, respectively, the seat heater wire stops operating, and seat thermal comfort is prioritized.

[0031] When the motor is in the hot engine state, in response to the driver's heating demand, the coolant temperature at the liquid inlet of the electric drive radiator is obtained. When the coolant temperature is not lower than the first preset value, the coolant in the heat circulation loop of the motor and the motor controller passes through the inlet of the third solenoid valve, one way through the first outlet of the third solenoid valve to the electric drive radiator to form a heat circulation loop of the motor and the motor controller; the other way passes through the second outlet of the third solenoid valve, the fourth port of the fourth solenoid valve, the first port of the fourth solenoid valve, and the second port of the fourth solenoid valve, and flows through the heater core and the seat heat exchanger respectively.

At this time, the motor controller receives the instruction from the whole machine controller, and intermittently simulates the load condition of the motor state every 30 seconds, so that heat is generated inside the motor, and the coolant passing through is heated to obtain the coolant temperature at the liquid outlet of the motor.
