[0038] Example 2

[0039] The present invention provides a method for using the above hybrid vehicle thermal management system, which specifically includes cooling conditions and heating conditions, and is described in detail as follows.

[0040] 1. Refrigeration conditions

[0041] ① Refrigeration of the passenger compartment: the refrigerant system adopts heat pump technology and utilizes the first heat exchanger 11 to dissipate heat to achieve cooling of the passenger compartment; the first coolant system absorbs heat through the first heat exchanger 11 and dissipates the absorbed heat into the atmosphere. The refrigerant system and the first coolant system work together to achieve cooling. At this time, the second coolant system does not work.

[0042] Specifically, during the passenger compartment cooling process, the control working process of the refrigerant system is as follows: the compressor 1 works, driving the refrigerant to flow through the third refrigerant switch valve 4, and enters one side of the first heat exchanger 11 for heat exchange, the first electronic throttle valve 6 throttles the refrigerant, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator 12 for evaporation and heat absorption, the refrigerant returns to the compressor 1 via the gas-liquid separator 14 to form a refrigerant cycle, the air-conditioning blower 15 works, pushing the hot air to cool down through the air-conditioning evaporator 12, and the cooled air enters the passenger compartment to achieve cooling of the passenger compartment.

[0043] The switching states of the valve components are: the first refrigerant switch valve 2, the second refrigerant switch valve 3, the fourth refrigerant switch valve 5, the second electronic throttle valve 7, the third electronic throttle valve 8 and the fourth electronic throttle valve 9 are closed, and the third refrigerant switch valve 4 and the first electronic throttle valve 6 are opened. The throttle valve and the switch valve have overlapping functions in controlling the on-off of the pipeline. Therefore, the actual switching states of each throttle valve and switch valve may change, but the flow path of the refrigerator remains unchanged.

[0044] Specifically, during the cooling process of the passenger compartment, the control working process of the first coolant system is as follows: the motor circulation pump 28 works to drive the coolant to flow to the other side of the first heat exchanger 11. After absorbing heat in the other side of the first heat exchanger 11, it flows through the three-way valve B27, the water-cooled intercooler 26, the electric drive system 25, one side of the second heat exchanger 22, and the three-way valve C30 in sequence to enter the first radiator 31. The cooling fan 24 works to dissipate heat from the first radiator 31. The coolant after heat dissipation enters the motor circulation pump 28 to form a closed-loop coolant circuit, thereby absorbing heat through the first heat exchanger 11 and dissipating the absorbed heat into the atmosphere, and cooperates with the refrigerant system to complete the cooling of the passenger compartment.

[0045] ② Cooling the power battery: The refrigerant system adopts heat pump technology and uses the first heat exchanger 11 to dissipate heat to achieve cooling of the power battery; the first coolant system absorbs heat through the first heat exchanger 11 and dissipates the absorbed heat into the atmosphere. The refrigerant system and the first coolant system work together to achieve cooling. At this time, the second coolant system does not work.

[0046] Specifically, for power battery cooling, the control working process of the refrigerant system is as follows: the compressor 1 works, driving the refrigerant to flow through the third refrigerant switch valve 4, and enters one side of the first heat exchanger 11 for heat exchange. The third electronic throttle valve 8 throttles the refrigerant. The refrigerant flows through the battery direct cooling plate 10 for evaporation and heat absorption, and returns to the compressor 1 through the gas-liquid separator 14 to form a refrigerant cycle. The power battery exchanges heat and cools down under the action of the battery direct cooling plate 10 to achieve cooling of the power battery.

[0047] The working states of the valve components are: the first electronic throttle valve 6, the second electronic throttle valve 7, the first refrigerant switch valve 2 and the fourth refrigerant switch valve 5 are closed, and the third electronic throttle valve 8, the fourth electronic throttle valve 9, the second refrigerant switch valve 3 and the third refrigerant switch valve 4 are opened.

[0048] Specifically, for power battery cooling, the control working process of the first coolant system is as follows: the motor circulation pump 28 works to drive the coolant to flow to the other side of the first heat exchanger 11. After absorbing heat in the other side of the first heat exchanger 11, it flows through the three-way valve B27, the water-cooled intercooler 26, the electric drive system 25, one side of the second heat exchanger 22, and the three-way valve C30 in sequence to enter the first radiator 31. The cooling fan 24 works to dissipate heat from the first radiator 31. The coolant after heat dissipation enters the motor circulation pump 28 to form a closed-loop coolant circuit, thereby absorbing heat through the first heat exchanger 11 and dissipating the absorbed heat into the atmosphere, and the power battery cooling is completed in combination with the refrigerant system.

[0049] ③ Refrigerate the passenger compartment and the power battery simultaneously: the refrigerant system adopts heat pump technology and utilizes the first heat exchanger 11 to dissipate heat to achieve cooling of the passenger compartment and the power battery; the first coolant system absorbs heat through the first heat exchanger 11 and dissipates the absorbed heat into the atmosphere, and the refrigerant system and the first coolant system work together to achieve this.

[0050] Specifically, the control working process of the refrigerant system for cooling the passenger compartment and the power battery at the same time is as follows: the compressor 1 works, driving the refrigerant to flow through the third refrigerant switch valve 4, and enters one side of the first heat exchanger 11 for heat exchange, the first electronic throttle valve 6 throttles a part of the refrigerant, and the refrigerant flows through the evaporator 12 for evaporation and heat absorption, and at the same time the third electronic throttle valve 8 throttles another part of the refrigerant, and the refrigerant flows through the battery direct cooling plate 10 for evaporation and heat absorption, and both parts of the refrigerant eventually return to the compressor 1 through the gas-liquid separator 14 to form a refrigerant cycle, thereby realizing simultaneous cooling of the passenger compartment and the power battery;

[0051] The switch states of the valves are: the second electronic throttle valve 7, the first refrigerant switch valve 2 and the fourth refrigerant switch valve 5 are closed, the first electronic throttle valve 6, the third electronic throttle valve 8, the fourth electronic throttle valve 9, the second refrigerant switch valve 3 and the third refrigerant switch valve 4 are opened,

[0052] Specifically, for cooling the passenger compartment and the power battery at the same time, the control working process of the first coolant system is as follows: the motor circulation pump 28 works to drive the coolant to flow to the other side of the first heat exchanger 11. After absorbing heat in the first heat exchanger 11, it flows through the three-way valve B27, the water-cooled intercooler 26, the electric drive system 25, one side of the second heat exchanger 22, and the three-way valve C30 in sequence to enter the first radiator 31. The cooling fan 24 works to dissipate the heat of the first radiator 31. The coolant after heat dissipation enters the motor circulation pump 28 to form a closed-loop coolant circuit, thereby absorbing heat through the first heat exchanger 11 and dissipating the absorbed heat into the atmosphere, and cooperates with the refrigerant system to complete the simultaneous cooling of the passenger compartment and the power battery.

[0053] ④ Cooling process of the electric drive system 25: The first coolant system is used alone to dissipate the heat generated by the heat source components of the electric drive system 25 into the atmosphere. The specific control process is as follows: the motor circulation pump 28 works to drive the coolant to flow to the other side of the first heat exchanger 11, passes through the three-way valve B27 and the water-cooled intercooler 26 in sequence, and then flows through the heat source components of the electric drive system 25 for heat exchange, and then flows through one side of the second heat exchanger 22 and the three-way valve C30 to enter the first radiator 31. The cooling fan 24 works to dissipate heat from the first radiator 31, and the coolant after heat dissipation enters the motor circulation pump 28 to form a closed-loop coolant circuit.

[0054] ⑤ Cooling process of the engine 16: The second coolant system is used alone to dissipate the heat generated by the engine 16 into the atmosphere. The specific control process is as follows: the power circulation pump 19 works to push the coolant to flow through the engine 16.
