Implementation

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] For example, see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: an on-vehicle thermal management system, including a battery pack 1, a cavity 2 is formed in the battery pack 1, a bottom plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the cavity 2, a plurality of grooves 4 are evenly formed on the upper side of the bottom plate 3, and unit batteries 5 are fixedly connected in the grooves 4;

[0024] A first loop 6 is provided in the bottom plate 3 , the input end of the first loop 6 passes through a pipeline on the right side wall of the battery pack 1 and is connected to a liquid pump 7 , and the output end of the first loop 6 passes through a pipeline on the right side wall of the battery pack 1 and is connected to the input end of the liquid pump 7 .

[0025] The four sides of the groove 4 are fixedly connected with cooling plates 8, a second circuit 9 is provided in the cooling plate 8, the input end and the output end of the second circuit 9 are both connected to the first circuit 6 through the pipeline of the cooling plate 8, and the pipeline connecting the input end and the output end of the second circuit 9 is fixedly connected with a temperature control valve 10, and the temperature control valve 10 controls the opening and closing by detecting the temperature of the liquid in the first circuit 6 and the second circuit 9;

[0026] A heat exchanger 11 is fixedly connected to a pipe on one side of the input end of the liquid pump 7, a refrigerant pipeline 12 is arranged on the right side of the heat exchanger 11, and the heat exchanger 11 is fixedly connected to the refrigerant pipeline 12;

[0027] A heat exchanger 2 14 is provided on one side of the input end of the heat exchanger 1 11, and the heat exchanger 2 14 is fixedly connected to the pipeline on one side of the input end of the liquid pump 7. A heat medium pipeline 15 is provided on the right side of the heat exchanger 14, and the heat exchanger 2 14 is fixedly connected to the heat medium pipeline 15;

[0028] A temperature sensor 13 is fixedly connected to a pipe on one side of the output end of the liquid pump 7 to detect the temperature of the liquid after heat exchange.

[0029] The refrigerant pipeline 12 includes a connecting pipe 16, to which a compressor 17, a flow regulating valve 18, a condenser 19, and an expansion valve 20 are fixedly connected in sequence;

[0030] The compressor 17 sucks the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 16 and compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and then delivers it to the condenser 19. It is cooled by the condenser 19 and becomes high-pressure and low-temperature gas. Then, it passes through the throttling effect of the expansion valve 20 and absorbs the heat of the liquid in the first circuit 6 in the heat exchanger 11 and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid. Then, it enters the compressor 17 again to realize the refrigerant circulation. The flow regulating valve 18 is used to adjust the refrigerant flow output in the connecting pipe 16, wherein the heat exchanger 11 is an evaporator;

[0031] The heat medium pipeline 15 includes a second connecting pipe 32, on which a second compressor 21, a second flow regulating valve 22, a second expansion valve 23, and an evaporator 1 24 are fixedly connected in sequence;

[0032] The compressor 21 absorbs the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 232 and compresses it into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. In the process of condensation and heat release in the heat exchanger 214, the compressor transfers the heat to the liquid in the first loop 6 to form a low-temperature and high-pressure gas. After that, the low-temperature and high-pressure gas is throttled by the expansion valve 23 and absorbs heat in the evaporator 1 24 to form a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid. Then, the liquid enters the compressor 21 again for compression to realize the heat medium circulation. The flow regulating valve 22 is used to adjust the refrigerant flow output in the connecting pipe 232, wherein the heat exchanger 214 is a condenser.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the battery pack 1 is not in operation, the normal temperature of the liquid in the first circuit 6 is A1°C, and the liquid pump 7 on the first circuit 6 is not in operation;

[0034] When the battery pack 1 is running at low temperature, the liquid pump 7 controls the liquid in the first loop 6 to run at a speed of V1, and part of the heat generated by the unit battery 5 is transferred to the bottom plate 3 through the cooling plate 8, and finally transferred to the liquid in the first loop 6, and heat is exchanged with the refrigerant pipeline 12 through the heat exchanger 11. At this time, the refrigerant circulation speed in the pipeline is controlled by the flow regulating valve 18 on the refrigerant pipeline 12, so that the temperature of the liquid in the first loop 6 after heat exchange is maintained at A1°C;

[0035] At the same time, another part of the heat is transferred to the liquid in the second circuit 9 through the cooling plate 8. At this time, the second circuit 9 is not connected to the first circuit 6, and the temperature control valve 10 is in a closed state. The liquid in the second circuit 9 has a certain specific heat capacity, and stores a certain value of the heat generated by the unit battery 5;

[0036] When the unit battery 5 is operating normally, the temperature control valve 10 on the second circuit 9 is set to open when it detects that the temperature of the liquid in the second circuit 9 reaches A2°C. The temperature control valve 10 is in a half-open state, and the first circuit 6 is connected to the second circuit 9. At the same time, the liquid pump 7 controls the liquid in the first circuit 6 to run at a speed of V2, and heat is exchanged with the refrigerant pipeline 12 through the heat exchanger 11. At this time, the flow regulating valve 18 on the refrigerant pipeline 12 controls the refrigerant circulation speed in the pipeline, so that the temperature of the liquid in the first circuit 6 after heat exchange is maintained at A1°C;

[0037] When the unit battery 5 is running at high temperature, the temperature control valve 10 detects that the liquid temperature reaches A3°C, the temperature control valve 10 is in a fully open state, the liquid pump 7 controls the liquid in the first loop 6 to run at a speed of V3, and heat is exchanged with the refrigerant pipeline 12 through the heat exchanger 11, and heat is exchanged with the refrigerant pipeline 12 through the heat exchanger 11. At this time, the refrigerant circulation speed in the pipeline is controlled by the flow control valve 18 on the refrigerant pipeline 12, so that the temperature of the liquid in the first loop 6 after heat exchange is maintained at A1°C;

[0038] When the unit cell 5 is in an ultra-low temperature state and cannot be started, the heat medium pipeline 15 is started, and at the same time, the liquid pump 7 controls the liquid in the first loop 6 to run at a speed of V3, and heat exchange is performed on the first loop 6 through the heat medium pipeline 15, so that the temperature of the liquid in the first loop 6 after heat exchange reaches A3°C. At this time, the temperature control valve 10 is in a fully open state, and the liquid in the first loop 6 circulates with the liquid in the second loop 9, and the temperature is transferred to the unit cell 5 through the cooling plate 8 for heating.

[0039] Embodiment 2, based on embodiment 1, adds the following structure:

[0040] A condenser 25 is connected in parallel to the heat medium pipeline 15, and both ends of the heat exchanger 14 are fixedly connected with an electric control valve 26. The condenser 19 and the condenser 25 are located at the same position on the car. A blower 27 is provided on one side of the condenser 19 and the condenser 25, and a blower 28 is provided on one side of the evaporator 24. The blower 27 and the blower 28 are connected to an air duct 29 through a three-way valve pipeline. A temperature sensor 2 30 is fixedly connected to the air duct 29. The output end of the air duct 29 is connected to a cab 31 for supplying heat and cooling to the cab 31.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the refrigerant pipeline 12 performs heat exchange on the first circuit 6, the heat medium pipeline 15 does not operate. When the cab 31 needs cooling, the heat medium pipeline 15 is started, and the two sets of electric control valves 26 are closed, so that the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 2 32 flows from the condenser 25 and absorbs heat at the evaporator 1 24, so that the air around the evaporator 1 24 becomes cold and is blown into the cab 31 through the blower 2 28, and the flow of the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 2 32 is adjusted by the flow regulator 2 to control the temperature of the blown air;

[0042] When the cab 31 needs to be heated, the hot air generated by the condenser 19 on the first circuit 6 is first blown into the air duct 29. When the temperature sensor 2 30 detects that the blown air is overheated, the heat medium pipeline 15 is started, and the two sets of electric control valves 26 are closed, so that the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 2 32 flows from the condenser 25 and absorbs heat at the evaporator 24, so that the air around the evaporator 24 becomes cold. The flow regulator 2 is controlled to adjust the flow of the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 2 32 to control the temperature of the cold air, and the cold air is blown into the air duct 29 through the blower 28 to mix and adjust with the hot air. After the temperature sensor 2 30 detects that the temperature in the air duct 29 is appropriate, the three-way valve is opened to allow air to enter the cab 31.

[0043] When the cab 31 needs to be heated, the hot air generated by the condenser 19 on the first circuit 6 is first blown into the air duct 29. When the temperature sensor 2 30 detects that the blown hot air has not reached the required temperature, the heat medium pipeline 15 is started, and the two sets of electric control valves 26 are closed to allow the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 2 32 to flow from the condenser 2 25. The flow regulator 2 is controlled to adjust the flow of the refrigerant in the connecting pipe 2 32 to control the hot air temperature. The hot air generated by the condenser 25 is blown into the air duct 29 through the blower 1 27. After the temperature sensor 2 30 detects that the temperature in the air duct 29 is appropriate, the three-way valve is opened to allow air to enter the cab 31.
