At present, the main cooling method for electric forklift batteries is natural cooling, which has extremely low cooling efficiency and is affected by the ambient temperature. It cannot meet the thermal management requirements of forklift batteries at high temperatures.

[0003] Especially when the battery is charged at a high rate, it is very easy to overheat in a high temperature environment. In order to ensure battery safety and extend battery life, the charging rate can only be reduced, which will extend the charging time and affect customer use. Similarly, lithium batteries cannot be charged in a low temperature environment, or the charge and discharge rate is extremely low, which also seriously affects the use efficiency of the forklift. The battery needs to be heated to a suitable temperature.

[0004] Therefore, how to perform thermal management on electric forklifts has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

When the target motor of the electronic device and its driving device are working, the motor cooling device is controlled to work to reduce the temperature of the target motor, thereby avoiding a sudden increase in temperature during the operation of the target motor. In addition, the electronic device obtains the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery in the electric engineering machinery, and obtains the coolant temperature corresponding to the coolant of the radiator and the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor. According to the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery, and / or the coolant temperature, and / or the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor, the battery cooling system is controlled, so that the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery can be adjusted according to the control of the battery cooling system. Thereby, the temperature of the target battery can be avoided to be too high, and the thermal management requirements of the electric engineering machinery battery at high temperature can be met, and the target battery can be avoided to be unable to charge in a low temperature environment, or the charge and discharge rate is extremely low, which also seriously affects the use efficiency of the electric engineering machinery.

If the first difference is greater than the first preset difference, and / or the coolant temperature is greater than the first coolant temperature threshold, and / or the current motor temperature is greater than the first preset motor temperature, the heat dissipation fan is controlled to work. Thus, it can be ensured that when the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery is high, the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery can be quickly cooled, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the target battery. In addition, if the first difference is less than the second preset difference, and the coolant temperature is less than the second coolant temperature threshold, and the current motor temperature is less than the second preset motor temperature, the heat dissipation fan is controlled to stop working; wherein, the second preset difference is less than the first preset difference, the second coolant temperature threshold is less than the first coolant temperature threshold, and the second preset motor temperature is less than the first preset motor temperature, thereby avoiding the heat dissipation fan from working for a long time, resulting in a waste of resources.

Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] Electric forklifts are mainly powered by lithium batteries. The suitable operating temperature range of lithium batteries is 15℃-45℃. At present, the main cooling method for electric forklift batteries is natural cooling, which has extremely low cooling efficiency and is affected by the ambient temperature. It cannot meet the thermal management requirements of forklift batteries at high temperatures.

[0053] Especially when the battery is charged at a high rate, it is very easy to overheat in a high temperature environment. In order to ensure battery safety and extend battery life, the charging rate can only be reduced, which will extend the charging time and affect customer use. Similarly, lithium batteries cannot be charged in a low temperature environment, or the charge and discharge rate is extremely low, which also seriously affects the use efficiency of the forklift. The battery needs to be heated to a suitable temperature.

[0054] Therefore, how to perform thermal management on electric forklifts has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0055] The present application embodiment provides a thermal management system, which is applied to electric engineering machinery. Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system includes: a battery cooling system, a motor cooling device, a radiator and an electronic device, wherein the battery cooling system and the motor cooling device are both connected to the radiator, the radiator contains coolant, and the electronic device is communicatively connected with the battery cooling system and the motor cooling device, wherein:

[0056] An electronic device, used for controlling the operation of the motor heat dissipation device when the target motor and its driving device are working, so as to reduce the temperature of the target motor;

[0057] The electronic device is also used to obtain the current temperature of the environment surrounding the target battery in the electric engineering machinery, and obtain the coolant temperature corresponding to the coolant of the radiator and the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor, and control the battery cooling system according to the current temperature of the environment surrounding the target battery, and / or the coolant temperature, and / or the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor.

[0058] Specifically, the electronic device can monitor the working status of the target motor and its driving device. When it is detected that the target motor and its driving device are working, the electronic device can control the motor heat dissipation device to work, thereby reducing the temperature of the target motor.

[0059] In addition, the electronic device can also obtain the current temperature of the target battery surrounding environment transmitted by the temperature sensor through the communication connection with the temperature sensor around the target battery in the electric engineering machinery. The electronic device can also detect the coolant temperature corresponding to the coolant in the radiator through the temperature sensor installed in the radiator. The electronic device can also detect the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor based on the temperature sensor installed in the target motor.

[0060] Then, the electronic device controls the battery cooling system according to the current temperature of the environment surrounding the target battery, and / or the coolant temperature, and / or the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor.

[0061] The thermal management system provided by the embodiment of the present application includes: a battery cooling system, a motor cooling device, a radiator and an electronic device, wherein the battery cooling system and the motor cooling device are both connected to the radiator, the radiator contains coolant, and the electronic device is connected to the battery cooling system and the motor cooling device in communication. When the target motor of the electronic device and its driving device are working, the motor cooling device is controlled to work to reduce the temperature of the target motor, thereby avoiding a sudden increase in temperature during the operation of the target motor. In addition, the electronic device obtains the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery in the electric engineering machinery, and obtains the coolant temperature corresponding to the coolant of the radiator and the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor. According to the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery, and / or the coolant temperature, and / or the current motor temperature corresponding to the target motor, the battery cooling system is controlled, so that the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery can be adjusted according to the control of the battery cooling system. Thereby, the temperature of the target battery can be avoided to be too high, and the thermal management requirements of the electric engineering machinery battery at high temperature can be met, and the target battery can be avoided to be unable to charge in a low temperature environment, or the charge and discharge rate is extremely low, which also seriously affects the use efficiency of the electric engineering machinery. Therefore, the thermal management system can accurately adjust the current temperature of the environment around the target battery, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the target battery and the normal operation of the electric engineering machinery, thereby ensuring the life of the electric engineering machinery.

[0062] In an optional embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the battery cooling system includes a battery water pump and a battery cooling pipe, wherein a first end of the battery water pump is connected to a second end of the radiator, a second end of the battery water pump is connected to a first end of the battery cooling pipe, and a second end of the battery cooling pipe is connected to a second end of the radiator, wherein:

[0063] The electronic device is used to obtain a preset operating temperature range corresponding to the target battery, compare the current temperature with the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature in the preset operating temperature range; and control the battery water pump according to the comparison result.

[0064] Optionally, an electronic device, used to control the battery water pump to operate if the current temperature is greater than the maximum temperature;

[0065] The battery water pump is used to drive the coolant in the radiator to circulate in the battery cooling pipe to reduce the current temperature of the environment around the target battery.

[0066] Optionally, the electronic device is further used to control the battery water pump to operate if the current temperature is less than the minimum temperature;

[0067] The battery water pump is used to drive the coolant in the radiator to circulate in the battery cooling pipe to increase the current temperature of the environment around the target battery.

[0068] Specifically, the electronic device may receive the preset operating temperature range corresponding to the target battery input by the user, or may receive the preset operating temperature range corresponding to the target battery sent by other devices. The electronic device may also set the preset operating temperature range corresponding to the target battery according to the attribute information of the target battery. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the manner in which the electronic device obtains the preset operating temperature range corresponding to the target battery.

[0069] Then, the electronic device compares the current temperature with the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature in the preset operating temperature range; based on the comparison result, the battery water pump is controlled.

[0070] If the current temperature is greater than the maximum temperature, the electronic device determines that the current temperature is high, and therefore, the electronic device controls the battery water pump to operate.

[0071] When the battery water pump is working, it drives the coolant in the radiator to circulate in the battery cooling pipe to reduce the current temperature of the environment around the target battery.

[0072] If the current temperature is lower than the minimum temperature, the electronic device determines that the current temperature is low, and therefore, the electronic device controls the battery water pump to operate.

[0073] When the battery water pump is working, it drives the coolant in the radiator to circulate in the battery cooling pipe to increase the current temperature of the environment around the target battery.

[0074] If the current temperature is greater than or equal to the minimum temperature and less than or equal to the maximum temperature, the electronic device determines that the current temperature is suitable, and therefore controls the battery water pump not to operate.

[0075] The thermal management system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the battery heat dissipation system includes a battery water pump and a battery cooling pipe, wherein the first end of the battery water pump is connected to the second end of the radiator, the second end of the battery water pump is connected to the first end of the battery cooling pipe, and the second end of the battery cooling pipe is connected to the second end of the radiator. The electronic device obtains the preset operating temperature range corresponding to the target battery, compares the current temperature with the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature in the preset operating temperature range; and controls the battery water pump according to the comparison result. Thus, the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery can be adjusted. Thus, it can be avoided that the temperature of the target battery is too high and cannot meet the thermal management requirements of the electric engineering machinery battery at high temperature. In addition, it can also avoid that the target battery cannot be charged in a low temperature environment, or the charge and discharge rate is extremely low, which also seriously affects the use efficiency of the electric engineering machinery. Therefore, the above-mentioned thermal management system can accurately adjust the current temperature of the surrounding environment of the target battery, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the target battery, and ensuring the normal operation of the electric engineering machinery, thereby ensuring the life of the electric engineering machinery.

[0076] If the current temperature is greater than the maximum temperature, the electronic device controls the battery water pump to operate; the battery water pump drives the coolant in the radiator to circulate in the battery cooling pipe to reduce the current temperature of the environment surrounding the target battery, thereby avoiding the electric construction machinery being unable to meet the thermal management requirements at high temperatures.

[0077] If the current temperature is lower than the minimum temperature, the electronic device controls the battery water pump to work; the battery water pump drives the coolant in the radiator to circulate in the battery cooling pipe to increase the current temperature of the target battery's surroundings. This can prevent the target battery from being unable to charge in a low temperature environment, or the charge and discharge rate is extremely low, which also seriously affects the efficiency of the electric engineering machinery. Therefore, the above-mentioned thermal management system can accurately adjust the current temperature of the target battery's surroundings, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the target battery and the normal operation of the electric engineering machinery, thereby ensuring the life of the electric engineering machinery.

[0078] In an optional embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 As shown, the thermal management system also includes a cooling fan, which is communicatively connected with the electronic device, wherein:

[0079] The electronic device is further used for, if the current temperature is greater than the maximum temperature, subtracting the maximum temperature from the current temperature to obtain a first difference between the current temperature and the maximum temperature; if the first difference is greater than a first preset difference, and / or the coolant temperature is greater than a first coolant temperature threshold, and / or the current motor temperature is greater than a first preset motor temperature, controlling the cooling fan to operate;

[0080] If the first difference is smaller than the second preset difference, the coolant temperature is smaller than the second coolant temperature threshold, and the current motor temperature is smaller than the second preset motor temperature, the cooling fan is controlled to stop working.
