[0038] As shown in Figures 1-11 A hybrid vehicle heat storage type heat pump system applied in a hybrid vehicle, the heat pump system comprising a heat pump unit, an auxiliary heating circuit, an engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit and a battery heating circuit.

[0039] The heat pump unit comprises a heating circuit and a refrigeration circuit, the heating circuit comprising a compressor 10, a water-cooled condenser 11, a first expansion valve 61, an outside heat exchanger 12, a third stop valve 73 and a gas-liquid separator 14 connected in sequence, the heating circuit absorbing heat from the outside through the outside heat exchanger 12, the refrigeration circuit comprising a compressor 10, a water-cooled condenser 11, a second stop valve 72, an outside heat exchanger 12, a second expansion valve 62, an inside heat exchanger 13 and a gas-liquid separator 14 connected in sequence, the refrigeration circuit absorbing heat through the inside heat exchanger 13.

[0040] Specifically, the heating circuit comprises a compressor 10, a water-cooled condenser 11, a first expansion valve 61, an outside heat exchanger 12, a third stop valve 73 and a gas-liquid separator 14 connected in sequence. The refrigeration circuit comprises a compressor 10, a water-cooled condenser 11, a second stop valve 72, an outside heat exchanger 12, a second expansion valve 62, an inside heat exchanger 13 and a gas-liquid separator 14 connected in sequence. The first expansion valve 61 and the second stop valve 72 are connected in parallel, and the inside heat exchanger 13 is connected in series with the second expansion valve 62 and then connected in parallel with the third stop valve 73. In the refrigeration circuit, the second stop valve 72 is fully open, the inside heat exchanger 13 acts as an evaporator, the outside heat exchanger 12 acts as a condenser, and the water-cooled condenser 11 does not work in the refrigeration condition and can be regarded as a water pipe. When the compressor 10 is working, the inside heat exchanger 13 can achieve refrigeration effect. In the heating circuit, the outside heat exchanger 12 acts as an evaporator to absorb heat from the outside to achieve heating effect. Through the working of the compressor 10 in the heat pump unit, cooling or heating of the passenger compartment can be achieved.

[0041] The auxiliary heating circuit comprises a PTC heater 15, a third water pump 43 and a water-cooled condenser 11 connected in sequence, and the heating circuit supplies heat for the water-cooled condenser 11 through the PTC heater 15.

[0042] Specifically, the auxiliary heating circuit comprises a PTC heater 15, a third water pump 43 and a water-cooled condenser 11 connected in sequence. The PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater refers to a device that uses a positive temperature coefficient thermistor to achieve heating. The water-cooled condenser 11 is provided with two channels that can conduct heat to each other, the first channel is connected between the heating circuit and the refrigeration circuit of the heat pump unit, and the second channel is connected to the auxiliary heating circuit. The PTC heater 15 can heat the liquid in the auxiliary heating circuit, and the liquid in the second channel of the water-cooled condenser 11 is circulated under the push of the third water pump 43, so that the liquid in the second channel of the water-cooled condenser 11 is heated, and the liquid in the heating circuit of the heat pump unit is improved. The applicable temperature range of the heating circuit in the heat pump unit can be improved by auxiliary heating through the PTC heater 15. Through the cooperative work of the auxiliary heating circuit and the heating circuit in the heat pump unit, the energy consumption and system efficiency can be optimized while ensuring the temperature in the vehicle.

[0043] The engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit comprises an engine cooling water system 30, a first valve, a water-cooled condenser 11, a PTC heater 15, a third water pump 43, a first three-way valve 51 and a second water pump 42 connected in sequence. The heating circuit is connected to the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit through the first three-way valve 51, and the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit supplies heat for the water-cooled condenser 11 through the engine cooling water.

[0044] Specifically, the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit comprises an engine cooling water system 30, a first valve, a water-cooled condenser 11, a PTC heater 15, a third water pump 43, a first three-way valve 51 and a second water pump 42 connected in sequence. The first three-way valve 51 comprises three communication ports A1, B1 and C1, A1 and B1 only have two states of opening and closing, and C1 can be adjusted from 0% to 100%. Among them, B1 and C1 are connected to the auxiliary heating circuit, B1 is close to the third water pump 43, C1 is close to the water-cooled condenser 11, and A1 is connected between the second water pump 42 and the third water pump 43. It can be understood that the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit is connected in parallel with a no-load section of the auxiliary heating circuit, and the on-off of the no-load section is adjusted by the switch of B1.

[0045] The heat pump system further comprises a first heat storage circuit and a first heat utilization circuit, the first heat storage circuit comprising the engine cooling water system 30, the second valve, the first heat storage body 33, the first three-way valve 51 and the second water pump 42 connected in sequence, and being used for storing the heat of the engine cooling water into the first heat storage body 33; the first heat utilization circuit comprising the first heat storage body 33, the water-cooled condenser 11, the PTC heater 15, the third water pump 43, the first three-way valve 51, the second water pump 42 and the third valve connected in sequence, and being used for supplying the heat of the first heat storage body 33 to the water-cooled condenser 11.

[0046] Specifically, when the temperature is low in the morning or at night and the temperature is high at noon in late autumn or early spring, the passenger compartment does not need to be heated, the first heat storage circuit is only used for storing the heat of the engine cooling water and does not provide heat, that is, when the A1 port and the B1 port of the first three-way valve 51 are opened and the C1 port is completely closed, the first heat storage circuit is sequentially connected by the engine cooling water system 30, the second valve, the first heat storage body 33, the B1 port and the A1 port of the first three-way valve 51 and the second water pump 42, and the heat energy of the engine cooling can be stored into the first heat storage body 33.

[0047] When the passenger compartment needs to be heated and the heat of the engine cooling water exceeds the heat load to be borne, the first heat storage circuit works, that is, when the A1 port and the C1 port of the first three-way valve 51 are opened and the B1 port is completely closed, the first heat storage circuit is sequentially connected by the engine cooling water system 30, the second valve, the first heat storage body 33, the water-cooled condenser 11, the PTC heater 15, the third water pump 43, the C1 port and the A1 port of the first three-way valve 51 and the second water pump 42, at this time, one of the second water pump 42 and the third water pump 43 works, or the second water pump 42 and the third water pump 43 work at the same time, and the heat energy of the engine cooling water can be stored into the first heat storage body 33, and at the same time, the heat energy is also transmitted to the water-cooled condenser 11 for auxiliary heating.

[0048] The first heat utilization circuit is sequentially connected by the first heat storage body 33, the water-cooled condenser 11, the PTC heater 15, the third water pump 43, the C1 port and the A1 port of the first three-way valve 51, the second water pump 42 and the third valve. The heat in the first heat storage body 33 can be brought into the water-cooled condenser 11 to achieve auxiliary heating. It should be noted that the first heat storage body 33 contains two heat-transferring pipelines, the first pipeline is connected in the first heat storage circuit, and the second pipeline is connected in the first heat utilization circuit. The first pipeline in the first heat storage body 33 is located in the heat storage area, and the second pipeline is located in the heat exchange area. The first pipeline of the first heat storage body 33 is arranged in the form of a coil to increase the heat exchange area. The partition plate between the heat storage area and the heat exchange area is made of copper or a material with a higher thermal conductivity. The first pipeline in the heat storage area can store the heat of the engine cooling water, and the heat exchange area is used for heat supply by utilizing the stored waste heat.

[0049] In addition to the heating circuit of the heat pump unit, the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit, the first heat storage circuit and the auxiliary heating circuit jointly bear the heat load of the vehicle, such as the heat load of the passenger cabin. Among them, when the auxiliary heating circuit jointly bears the heat load with the heating circuit, the A1 port of the first three-way valve 51 is closed, the B1 port and the C1 port are opened, and the PTC heater 15 works. When the auxiliary heating circuit jointly bears the heat load with the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit, the heating circuit does not work at this time, and one of the second water pump 42 and the third water pump 43 can not work. When the auxiliary heating circuit and the first heat storage circuit jointly bear the heat load, the heat pump system does not work at this time, and one of the second water pump 42 and the third water pump 43 can not work.

[0050] The battery heating circuit comprises the PTC heater 15, the third water pump 43 and the power battery 17 connected in sequence, and the battery heating circuit supplies heat for the power battery 17 through the PTC heater 15.

[0051] Specifically, the battery heating circuit is the PTC heater 15, the third water pump 43 and the power battery 17 connected in sequence. When the PTC heater 15 works, the power battery 17 can be heated, and the battery endurance mileage can be guaranteed in cold weather.

[0052] In the application, the heat pump unit can meet the cooling and heating demands of the passenger cabin through the heating circuit and the refrigeration circuit. When the heating circuit of the heat pump unit works, the auxiliary heating circuit can heat the circuit through the PTC heater 15, so that the liquid in the water-cooled condenser 11 is heated, the heating effect of the heating circuit in the heat pump unit is improved, the larger heating demand of the passenger cabin is further met, and the energy consumption of the heating circuit is reduced. In addition, when the engine works, the engine cooling water can heat the liquid in the water-cooled condenser 11 through the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit, so that the heat of the engine cooling water is better utilized, and the energy consumption of the heating circuit is reduced. In addition, the engine cooling water can also store the heat of the engine cooling water through the first heat storage circuit and the first heat storage circuit, and release the heat to heat the water-cooled condenser 11 when needed, so as to achieve the effect of efficiently utilizing the heat of the engine cooling water, and further reduce the energy consumption of the heating circuit. The battery heating circuit can heat the power battery 17 by using the PTC heater 15, reduce the endurance attenuation of the power battery 17, and guarantee the endurance mileage of the power battery 17 in the low temperature background.

[0053] In addition, during the operation of the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit, the coolant in the PTC heater 15 is heated by the passenger cabin, and the water temperature is high. When the battery heating circuit is connected, the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit indirectly heats the power battery 17. Even if the power battery 17 can be directly or indirectly heated by the first heat storage body 33 and / or the engine cooling water, the engine cooling water waste heat energy is fully utilized, and the utilization effect of the waste heat energy is improved.

[0054] In addition, a first shut-off valve 71 is additionally arranged on the auxiliary heating circuit. The first shut-off valve 71 is arranged close to the water-cooled condenser 11. When the passenger cabin has no heating demand and the power battery 17 has a heating demand, the first shut-off valve 71 is controlled to be in a closed state, and the connection between the engine cooling water system 30, the first heat storage body 33, the PTC heater 15 and the power battery heating circuit is interrupted.

[0055] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a first control unit. The first control unit is configured to: when the vehicle has a heating demand, the priority of the heating operation is the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit, the first heat utilization circuit, the heating circuit and the auxiliary heating circuit in sequence. It can be understood that the priority of the heating operation refers to the priority of the corresponding circuit opened in sequence when heating is needed.

[0056] When the engine is in the internal circulation mode or the passenger vehicle is operated in the EV mode, the third valve is opened, and only the first heat utilization circuit bears the heat load of the passenger cabin. When the heat capacity of the first heat storage body 33 is insufficient to bear the heat load, the heating circuit in the heat pump unit and the first heat storage body 33 are opened for double-heat-source complementary heating. When the heat storage material in the first heat storage body 33 is completely solidified in the heat storage area and cannot perform heat exchange, the third valve is closed, and only the heating circuit in the heat pump unit is used for heating. If the heating circuit alone cannot bear the heat load, the A1 port of the first three-way valve 51 is closed, and the auxiliary heating circuit and the heating circuit are used to bear the total heat load. That is, when the engine is not working, the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit can be defaulted to be not opened. The waste heat energy of the engine cooling water is fully utilized before the PTC heater 15 is used for heating, which can reduce the heating energy consumption as much as possible and improve the vehicle range.

[0066] Specifically, the opening degree of the A4 port and the C4 port can be adjusted according to the heat dissipation demand of the headlamp system 22, when the heat generated by the headlamp system 22 exceeds the storage speed of the second heat storage body 20 or the heat capacity of the second heat storage body 20 is full, the heat of the headlamp system 22 can be stored and part of the heat energy can be dissipated by opening the C4 port, the flow of heat storage and heat dissipation is controlled, and the heat dissipation performance of the headlamp system 22 is ensured.

[0067] Optionally, the headlamp waste heat recovery circuit further comprises the motor system 23 which is arranged in series with the headlamp system 22, and the second heat storage circuit is further configured to store heat of the motor in the second heat storage body 20.

[0068] Specifically, the headlamp system 22 and the motor system 23 are connected in series, and in other embodiments, the headlamp system 22 and the motor system 23 can be connected in parallel, and the opening degree of the valve in the parallel pipeline is adjusted. Thus, the heat generated by the motor in the motor system 23 can be stored and utilized, improving energy utilization.

When the temperature of the engine cooling water is high, the high-temperature radiator 32 is enabled by opening the fourth valve, so as to reduce the temperature of the engine cooling water, thereby ensuring the cooling performance of the engine cooling water.

[0071] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a fourth control unit, the fourth control unit being used for: adjusting the flow of the engine cooling water distributed in the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit, the first heat storage circuit, and the high-temperature heat dissipation circuit by controlling the opening degree of the first valve, the second valve, and the fourth valve; when the engine cooling water exceeds the heat load and the engine cooling performance is insufficient, if the heat absorption efficiency of the first heat storage body 33 is greater than the heat dissipation efficiency of the high-temperature radiator 32, the opening degree of the second valve is increased until the first heat storage body 33 is full of heat capacity; if the heat absorption efficiency of the first heat storage body 33 is less than or equal to the heat dissipation efficiency of the high-temperature radiator 32, the second valve is closed and the opening degree of the fourth valve is increased.

[0072] Specifically, when the engine cooling water is sufficient to bear the heat load of the passenger cabin and the power battery 17, if the first heat storage body 33 has a small residual heat capacity and the total heat load is small, the opening of the second valve is appropriately increased, and the openings of the fourth valve and the first valve are appropriately reduced, so as to increase the heat storage flow and reduce the heating and heat dissipation flow. When the first heat storage body 33 has a large residual heat capacity and the total heat load is small, the openings of the first valve and the second valve are appropriately reduced, and the opening of the fourth valve is appropriately increased, so as to increase the heat dissipation flow and reduce the heating and heat storage flow. When the heat load is large, if the heat capacity of the first heat storage body 33 is not full or reaches 90%, the fourth valve can be closed first, and the heat dissipation flow is reduced to zero. According to the engine cooling water temperature and the working condition of other circuits, the openings of the first valve, the second valve and the fourth valve are adjusted, so as to balance the cooling performance of the engine cooling water and the utilization performance of the waste heat of the engine cooling water, improve the energy utilization efficiency and the reliability of the energy efficient utilization. It should be noted that the heat absorption efficiency of the first heat storage body 33 and the heat dissipation efficiency of the high-temperature radiator 32 are related to the manufacturing materials thereof. After the physical structure of the first heat storage body 33 and the high-temperature radiator 32 is determined, the relationship between the heat absorption efficiency of the first heat storage body 33 and the heat dissipation efficiency of the high-temperature radiator 32 can be determined.

[0073] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises an exhaust waste heat recovery circuit, the exhaust waste heat recovery circuit comprising the first heat storage body 33, the exhaust gas system 34, the first water pump 41 and the fifth valve connected in sequence, and the exhaust waste heat recovery circuit is used for storing the heat of the exhaust gas into the first heat storage body 33.

[0074] Specifically, the exhaust waste heat recovery circuit comprises the first heat storage body 33, the exhaust gas system 34, the first water pump 41 and the fifth valve connected in sequence. It can be understood that the first heat storage body 33 further comprises a third pipeline, and the third pipeline is located in a heat storage area, that is, the first heat storage body 33 has two heat storage areas and one heat exchange area, and the two heat storage areas are arranged on both sides of the heat exchange area. The first heat storage body 33 can store the waste heat of the exhaust gas of the exhaust gas system 34, and then the waste heat is reused through the first heat utilization circuit, so as to improve the utilization rate of the waste energy.

[0075] The exhaust tail pipe water jacket in the exhaust gas system 34 only wraps between the exhaust tail pipe and the heated component, and considering that there is no exhaust tail pipe heat recovery demand in summer, the exhaust tail pipe water jacket is a detachable optional accessory.

[0077] Specifically, after the D8 port is connected with the engine cooling water outlet, the D8 port is connected with the A8 port, the B8 port and the C8 port respectively, and controls the water flow of the heat storage of the engine cooling water, the heat dissipation of the engine and the heat utilization of the engine cooling water respectively; the E8 port is connected with the H8 port, and the H8 port can control the heat supply flow of the first heat storage body 33; the F8 port is connected with the G8 port, and the G8 port controls the start and stop of the exhaust gas waste heat recovery loop. The eight-way valve 31 is adopted to flexibly distribute the flow of the engine cooling water for heat storage, heat dissipation and heat supply, so as to reduce the number of valves and facilitate control.

[0079] Specifically, the first battery heat dissipation loop includes the battery cooler 16, the gas-liquid separator 14, the compressor 10, the water-cooled condenser 11, the second stop valve 72, the outside heat exchanger 12 and the third expansion valve 63 connected in sequence. It can be understood that the battery cooler 16 and the third expansion valve 63 are connected in series and then commonly connected in parallel to the two ends of the third stop valve 73, that is, connected in parallel to the refrigeration circuit and the heating circuit, and exchange heat with the power battery 17. The third expansion valve 63 is located close to the outside heat exchanger 12, and the battery cooler 16 is located close to the gas-liquid separator 14. Through the refrigeration circuit of the heat pump unit, the power battery 17 can be cooled and dissipated, at this time, the PTC heater 15 does not work, and the C3 port of the third three-way valve 53 is in a completely closed state. Among them, the battery cooler 16 (Chiller) can absorb the heat of the power battery 17 through heat exchange, so as to achieve the effect of cooling and dissipating heat for the power battery 17.

[0080] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a second battery cooling loop, the second battery cooling loop comprising the battery heating temperature control radiator 18, the power battery 17, the PTC heater 15, a third water pump 43 and a second three-way valve 52, the second battery cooling loop being connected with the battery heating loop through the second three-way valve 52, and the second battery cooling loop being configured to adjust the heating temperature of the power battery 17 by adjusting the opening degree of the second three-way valve 52.

[0081] Specifically, the second three-way valve 52 comprises three communication ports, namely an A2 port, a B2 port and a C2 port, the A2 port of the second three-way valve 52 having only two states, i.e., open and closed, and the B2 port and the C2 port being adjustable from 0% to 100%. The second battery cooling loop comprises the battery heating temperature control radiator 18, the power battery 17, the PTC heater 15, the third water pump 43 and the A2 port and the B2 port of the second three-way valve 52 in sequence. During the process of auxiliary heating of the passenger compartment by the engine cooling water, the water temperature before the PTC heater 15 is relatively high due to the influence of the heating of the passenger compartment, and therefore the battery heating temperature control radiator 18 is provided. By adjusting the opening degrees of the B2 port and the C2 port, i.e., controlling the water flow through the battery heating temperature control radiator 18 and the bypass thereof in parallel, the water temperature flowing into the power battery 17 is controlled to avoid the water temperature of the heated battery being too high. The second three-way valve 52 controls the water temperature flowing into the power battery 17 to avoid the liquid temperature of the heated power battery 17 being too high to cause damage to the battery.

[0082] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a fifth control unit, the fifth control unit being configured to, when the battery heating loop is working, control the heating degree of the power battery 17 by controlling the opening degrees of the B2 port and the C2 port of the second three-way valve 52. Specifically, the opening degrees of the B2 port and the C2 port can be adjusted reasonably and appropriately by obtaining the current temperature condition of the power battery 17 and the heating condition of each loop to ensure that the power battery 17 is in a better temperature condition.

[0083] Optionally, the heat pump system further comprises a sixth control unit, the sixth control unit being configured to, when the first battery cooling loop is working, control the opening degree of the B2 port of the second three-way valve 52 to close the second battery cooling loop, i.e., to close the B2 port. When the first battery cooling loop is working, the power battery 17 is cooled, and the liquid temperature in the battery heating loop is relatively high. Closing the second battery cooling loop can prevent the battery heating temperature control radiator 18 from absorbing heat from the outside to affect the cooling effect of the power battery 17.

[0084] The first control unit, the second control unit, the third control unit, the fourth control unit, the fifth control unit and the sixth control unit can be integrated to form a total control unit.

[0085] The first expansion valve 61, the second expansion valve 62 and the third expansion valve 63 are all electronic expansion valves or thermal expansion valves. It should be noted that the connection order between the components in each circuit can be appropriately adjusted without affecting the function of the circuit, for example, the installation position of each water pump is more flexible. The first heat storage body 33 and the second heat storage body 20 are both organic phase change materials mainly composed of paraffin. When the heat fluid passes through the heat storage body, the phase change material melts and absorbs heat. When the cold fluid passes through the heat storage body, the phase change material solidifies and releases heat, thereby realizing heat storage utilization.

[0086] When the heat pump system is in the cooling mode, that is, the cooling circuit of the heat pump unit works, the C1 port of the first three-way valve 51 and the C3 port of the third three-way valve 53 are both closed, and only the cooling circuit bears the heat load of the passenger compartment. When the heat pump system is in the heating mode, that is, the heating circuit of the heat pump unit works, the auxiliary heating circuit, the engine cooling water waste heat recovery circuit, the first heat utilization circuit and the headlamp waste heat recovery circuit can jointly bear the heat load of the passenger compartment and the power battery 17.

[0087] It should be noted that when the first heat storage circuit is opened and the auxiliary heating circuit is opened alone, the liquid flow direction of the idle section waterway corresponding to the B1 port of the first three-way valve 51 is opposite, but since there is no case where the first heat storage circuit and the auxiliary heating circuit are opened simultaneously in the mode setting, it is reasonable that the liquid flow direction of the idle section waterway corresponding to the B1 port of the first three-way valve 51 is opposite in different working conditions.
