The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] The system or device readable storage medium described below in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any scenario for implementing thermal management of a vehicle. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to specific application scenarios, and any solution using the vehicle and its thermal management system provided by the embodiments of the present application are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0041] It should be noted that the term "comprising" will be used in the embodiments of the present application to indicate the existence of the features declared thereafter, but does not exclude the addition of other features.

[0042] On September 15, 2021, my country became the 122nd Party to the Kigali Amendment, which means that non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as hydrofluorocarbons will be more strictly controlled. Unfortunately, the GWP of vehicle air-conditioning refrigerant R134a is 1430. It can be seen that R134a will inevitably be replaced by new refrigerants in the future. Therefore, the development of air-conditioning and cooling coupling systems that use new vehicle air-conditioning refrigerants has become a topic that must be studied for new energy vehicles.

[0043] The existing air conditioning refrigerant on the market is R134a, which is a greenhouse gas with a GWP value of 1430. Its widespread use has aggravated the increasingly serious global warming phenomenon. In order to reverse this phenomenon, the application of new vehicle air conditioning refrigerants has become an inevitable development trend in this field. The existing air conditioning thermal management system is not compatible with the new vehicle air conditioning refrigerant. Replacing the new vehicle air conditioning refrigerant requires the redevelopment of a set of air conditioning thermal management system, which is very costly.

[0044] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle thermal management system that can not only meet the design requirements of a minimalist refrigerant circuit, but is also compatible with mainstream refrigerants and new refrigerants. The application of new refrigerants can meet future environmental protection needs, and at the same time, the safety of using new refrigerants is effectively improved.

[0045] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of a vehicle thermal management system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown in , the thermal management system of the vehicle includes: a refrigerant circuit 100, an integrated valve 200, a power battery circuit 300, an electric drive circuit 400, a chiller circuit 700, a radiator circuit 800, a warm air circuit 500 and a cold air circuit 600.

[0047] Here, the refrigerant is sealed in a closed component assembly formed by the refrigerant circuit 100, and the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circuit exchanges heat with the coolant in the warm air circuit 500 or the cold air circuit 600 through the multi-layer isolation laminate. Here, as an example, the multi-layer isolation laminate can be a multi-layer aluminum laminate or an aluminum laminate of other materials, and the present application does not make any limitation here.

[0048] The AC controller in the vehicle can control the refrigerant circuit 100, the power battery circuit 300, the electric drive circuit 400, the Chiller circuit 700, the radiator circuit 800, the warm air circuit 500 and the cold air circuit 600 to be selectively connected through corresponding water inlets and outlets among the multiple water inlets and outlets included in the integrated valve 200 in response to the vehicle's calibration value satisfying a preset condition, so as to achieve the corresponding air-conditioning requirements of the vehicle.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, the refrigerant circuit 100 can be arranged in the engine compartment of the vehicle, where the engine compartment of the vehicle is the engine compartment of the vehicle. Since the refrigerant is sealed in the refrigerant circuit 100 and circulates only in the circuit, it does not need to circulate through the pipes arranged in the passenger compartment as in the prior art to complete the heat interaction with the coolant. Therefore, it not only meets the design requirements of the extremely simplified refrigerant circuit 100, but is also compatible with the mainstream refrigerant R134a and new refrigerants, such as refrigerant R290, etc. This is because the refrigerant cannot flow through the passenger compartment, thereby overcoming the defect of the flammability of the new refrigerant, so that the safety of the passengers is effectively improved.
