DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following detailed description is presented to aid the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and / or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents can be used, and the

[0034] The features described herein can be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples described herein. Rather, these examples have been provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the methods, apparatuses, and / or systems to those skilled in the art. Further, the description should not be interpreted as a general abstraction from the disclosure, but rather as a specific example of the implementation of the methods, apparatuses, and / or systems described herein.

[0035] Throughout the specification, when an element (such as a layer, region or substrate) is referred to as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "coupled to" another element, "adjacent to" another element, "on top of" another element, or terms similar thereto, it is understood that an intervening element may be present or absent. For example, if a layer is described as being "on" a substrate, it is understood that an intervening layer may be present or absent. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," "directly coupled to," "directly adjacent to," "directly on top of," or terms similar thereto, it is understood that no intervening element is present.

[0036] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the listed items and any combination of one or more of the listed items.

[0037] Although terms such as "first" and "second" and "third" can be used herein to describe various components, assemblies, regions, layers or sections, these components, assemblies, regions, layers or sections are not limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, assembly, region, layer or section from another component, assembly, region, layer or section. Thus, a component, assembly, region, layer or section referred to as a first component, assembly, region, layer or section in one example described herein can also be referred to as a second component, assembly, region, layer or section in another example without departing from the teachings of the examples.

[0038] For ease of description, spatial terms such as "on," "upper," "below," and "lower" can be used with respect to the orientation of one element relative to another element as illustrated in the figures. Such spatial terms can be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation, in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, a component described as relative to another component on the "upper" side of another component would then be oriented on the "lower" side of that component. Accordingly, the term "on" encompasses both an "on" and "under" orientation depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device can be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and an appropriate modification to the spatial terms used herein will be made accordingly.

[0039] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing various examples only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes," "including" and "has," "having" as used herein, are intended to be open-ended terms that encompass both the recited elements and other elements. The terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes," "including," and "has," "having," as used herein, are intended to be open-ended terms that encompass both the recited elements and other elements.

[0040] Variations in the shapes illustrated in the drawings can occur as a result of manufacturing processes and / or tolerances. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes illustrated in the drawings, but include variations in shapes that occur as a result of manufacturing processes and / or tolerances.

[0041] Features of the examples described herein can be combined with one another as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art after understanding the disclosure provided herein. Furthermore, although examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art after understanding the disclosure provided herein.

[0051] In this way, by controlling the on-off of each valve, the system can be controlled to be in different states to adapt to different working conditions of the automobile. The states of the system in different working conditions of the automobile will be described below.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 , when the automobile is running normally in summer, the motor electric control is cooled by the ATS cooling module, and the air conditioning system cools the passenger compartment and the battery 43.

Then, the refrigerant becomes a medium-temperature high-pressure state, and then changes to a low-temperature low-pressure state through the second electronic expansion valve 32.

In addition, the A port and the C port of the first three-way valve 40 are communicated and the first on-off valve 61 is closed, and the cooling liquid is heated by the water heater 71 and then enters the refrigeration machine 16, and then enters the third water pump 74 and the heating core 70 through the first three-way valve 40.

The A port and the B port of the first three-way valve 40 are communicated, and the first on-off valve 61 is opened. The cooling liquid flowing out of the battery 43 is divided into two parts, one part flows through the first on-off valve 61 into the water cooling unit 60 for cooling, and the other part flows into the refrigeration machine 16 for cooling, and then flows through the first three-way valve 40 and the first water pump 42. The above two parts of the cooling liquid are collected and then reflow into the battery 43. In this way, the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery 43 can be effectively improved, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation requirement of the large-capacity battery 43 during fast charging.

[0063] In addition, it should be noted that the battery 43 in the embodiment is provided with a heating film, which can heat the battery 43 when the car is cold-started or the battery 43 needs to be heated.

[0064] According to the heat management system of the present application, the air conditioning module can cool or heat the passenger compartment; the battery 43 cooling module is connected to the air conditioning module through the refrigeration machine 16, so that the air conditioning module can cool the battery 43 in addition to cooling the passenger compartment; the motor electronic control cooling module is connected to the air conditioning module through the heat exchanger 33, which can cool the motor electronic control assembly 50, i.e. the air conditioning module can absorb the heat of the motor electronic control assembly 50; in addition, the heat management system is also provided with a water cooling module, which can be connected to the battery 43 cooling module or the motor electronic control cooling module or be in an open circuit state by opening and closing the valve, i.e. the water cooling unit 60 can flexibly cool the battery 43 or the motor electronic control assembly 50 according to the actual working condition of the car, or be in an open circuit state when the above modules can meet the heat dissipation requirement. In this way, the heat management system can meet the fast charging requirement of the large-capacity battery and guarantee the heat management of the motor during peak power operation.

[0065] In addition, the heat management system is also provided with a warm air module, which can achieve the technical effects of defrosting and heating the passenger compartment.

[0066] According to the second aspect of the present application, an automobile is provided, wherein the automobile comprises the heat management system as described above.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific embodiments of the present application, which are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit the same.
