[0041] Table 1

[0042] The following specific embodiments are used to describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] Figure 1A schematic diagram of a thermal management system provided in an embodiment of the present application in a first connection mode of a nine-way valve. In the first connection mode of the four-way valve 100, the first port 1 and the second port 2 are connected inside the four-way valve 100, that is, the outlet and the inlet of the engine circuit are connected through two ports in the four-way valve 100, so that the engine circuit 300 is not connected with other circuits. The third port 3 and the fourth port 4 are connected inside the four-way valve 100, so that the flow medium passing through the nine-way valve 200 or the heater core 702 flows directly to the water-cooled condenser 804 after passing through the heater water pump 703, and does not flow into the engine circuit 300. In the first connection mode of the nine-way valve 200, that is, mode one, the first outlet 1 and the second outlet 2 are connected inside the nine-way valve 200, the eighth outlet 8 and the seventh outlet 7 are connected, the third outlet 3 and the fourth outlet 4 are connected, the fifth outlet 5 and the sixth outlet 6 are connected, and the ninth outlet 9 is not connected with the ports of other nine-way valves 200.

[0045] Furthermore, in the first connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the engine and the electric drive assembly with a higher load and the refrigeration of the passenger compartment are realized. When the heater water pump 703 is in the closed state, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the compressor 801 is in the working state, when the first electromagnetic switch valve 802 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in the working state, and the second electromagnetic switch valve 805 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in the closed state, the flow medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 absorbs the electric drive assembly under the action of the motor water pump 402. After the heat generated by the operation of the DCDC / OBC is collected, it enters the transmission circuit 700 through the nine-way valve 200. Since the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the flowing medium only passes through the one-way valve 704 in the transmission circuit 700, and then enters the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 through the nine-way valve 200 again. The heat in the flowing medium is transferred to the surrounding environment through the matching cooling fan, so that the flowing medium is cooled again by the water-cooled intercooler 401 under the action of the motor water pump 402, and then passes through the electric drive assembly. and DCDC / OBC to achieve cooling of the electric drive assembly with high load. For the flow medium in the engine circuit 300 that is not connected to other circuits, under the action of the engine water pump 302, after passing through the engine 301, the heat generated by the operation of the engine 301 is absorbed by the flow medium through the high-temperature radiator 303 and the cooling fan, and the flow medium after cooling is sent back to the engine 301 to achieve cooling of the engine 301. For the air conditioning circuit 800, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas formed by the refrigerant after being processed by the compressor 801 is After the refrigerant passes through the air-cooled condenser 803 corresponding to the first solenoid switch valve 802 and the cooling fan to quickly dissipate heat, the processing capacity of the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is improved, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the liquid storage drying tank, it is cooled and reduced in pressure by the first electronic expansion valve 806 to form a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant that passes through the evaporator 807 to reduce the temperature of the surrounding air to form cold air, which is sent into the passenger compartment to realize cooling of the passenger compartment, thereby effectively improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner.

[0046] Furthermore, in the first connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the engine and the electric drive assembly with a smaller load and the refrigeration of the passenger compartment are realized. When the heater water pump 703 is in working state, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 0%, the compressor 801 is in working state, the first electromagnetic switch valve 802, the second electromagnetic switch valve 805 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are all in working state, and the second electronic expansion valve 808 is in the closed state, the flow medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 absorbs the electric drive assembly and DCD under the action of the motor water pump 402. The heat generated by the C / OBC during operation passes through the nine-way valve 200 and enters the transmission circuit 700. Since the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 0%, the flowing medium passes through the four-way valve 100, the water-cooled condenser 804 and the three-way valve 701 in sequence under the action of the warm air water pump 703. The water-cooled condenser 804 can also be used to assist in processing the heat of the refrigerant in the air-conditioning circuit 800, and enters the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 through the nine-way valve 200 again. The heat in the flowing medium is transferred to the surrounding environment through the matching cooling fan, so that the flowing medium Under the action of the motor water pump 402, the medium passes through the water-cooled intercooler 401 to cool the flowing medium again, and then passes through the electric drive assembly and DCDC / OBC to cool the electric drive assembly with a smaller load. A direct connection passage connected in parallel with the transmission passage 700 is provided between the motor water pump 402 and the water-cooled intercooler 401, and a proportional valve 404 is provided on the direct connection passage to control the flow of the flowing medium through the electric drive assembly and DCDC / OBC, thereby realizing cooling control of the electric drive assembly and DCDC / OBC. For the air conditioning circuit 800, the refrigerant passes through the pressure The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant formed after being processed by the compressor 801 is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant after rapid heat dissipation through the air-cooled condenser 803 and the cooling fan corresponding to the first electromagnetic switch valve 802, and the water-cooled condenser 804 corresponding to the second electromagnetic switch valve 805. The high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the liquid storage drying tank and is cooled and reduced in pressure by the first electronic expansion valve 806 to form a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant that passes through the evaporator 807 to reduce the temperature of the surrounding air to form cold air, which is then sent into the passenger compartment to achieve cooling of the passenger compartment.

[0047] Furthermore, in the first connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the engine and the electric drive assembly and the refrigeration of the battery are achieved. When the compressor 801 is in working condition, when the first solenoid switch valve 802 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in working condition, and the first electronic expansion valve 806 is in a closed condition, for the air-conditioning circuit 800, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant formed by the refrigerant after being processed by the compressor 801 is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant after the air-cooled condenser 803 corresponding to the first solenoid switch valve 802 and the cooling fan cooperate to quickly dissipate heat, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is made to pass through the liquid storage drying tank and then pass through the second electronic expansion valve 808 to cool the refrigerant. After compression, a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant is formed and passes through the low-temperature cooler Chiller809 to transfer part of the heat of the flowing medium in the cooling circuit 600 to the air-conditioning circuit 800, thereby realizing the cooling of the flowing medium in the cooling circuit 600, and making the cooled flowing medium flow to the battery water pump 502 and the high-voltage battery pack 501, wherein, after absorbing the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack 501, the flowing medium in the battery circuit 500 is sent into the cooling circuit 600 again under the action of the battery water pump 502, and the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack absorbed by the flowing medium is transferred to the air-conditioning circuit 800 through the low-temperature cooler Chiller809, thereby realizing the cooling of the high-voltage battery pack, that is, the battery.

[0048] Furthermore, in the first connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the engine and the electric drive assembly and the simultaneous cooling of the battery and the passenger compartment are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in the closed state, the compressor 801 is in the working state, and when the first electronic expansion valve 806 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are both in the working state, for the air conditioning circuit 800, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant formed by the refrigerant after being processed by the compressor 801 is quickly cooled by the air-cooled condenser 803 corresponding to the first electromagnetic switch valve 802 and the cooling fan, or the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is quickly cooled by the air-cooled condenser 803 corresponding to the first electromagnetic switch valve 802 and the water-cooled condenser 804 corresponding to the second electromagnetic switch valve 805, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. After the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the liquid storage drying tank, it is cooled and depressurized by the second electronic expansion valve 808 to form a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant that passes through the low-temperature cooling machine C. Chiller809 is used to transfer the heat of the flowing medium in the cooling circuit 600 to the air-conditioning circuit 800, thereby cooling the flowing medium in the cooling circuit 600, and making the cooled flowing medium flow to the battery water pump 502 and the high-voltage battery pack 501. After absorbing the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack, the flowing medium in the battery circuit 500 is sent to the cooling circuit 600 again under the action of the battery water pump 502, and the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack absorbed by the flowing medium is transferred to the air-conditioning circuit 800 through the low-temperature cooler Chiller809, thereby cooling the high-voltage battery pack. After the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the liquid storage drying tank, it is cooled and depressurized by the first electronic expansion valve 806 to form a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant that passes through the evaporator 807 to reduce the temperature of the surrounding air to form cold air, which is sent into the passenger compartment to cool the passenger compartment, thereby realizing simultaneous cooling of the battery and the passenger compartment, thereby reducing the number of unnecessary valve combinations.

[0049] Furthermore, in the first connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the engine and the electric drive assembly with a smaller load and the refrigeration and dehumidification of the passenger compartment are realized. When the heater water pump 703 and the heater core 702 are both in working state, and the opening ratio of the three-way valve 701 is not 0% and not 100%, the compressor 801 is in working state. When the first electromagnetic switch valve 802, the second electromagnetic switch valve 805 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in working state, and the second electronic expansion valve 808 is in closed state, the flow medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 absorbs the heat generated by the operation of the electric drive assembly and DCDC / OBC under the action of the motor water pump 402, and then passes through the nine-way valve 2 After 00, it enters the transmission circuit 700. Since the opening ratio of the three-way valve 701 is not 0% and not 100%, a part of the flowing medium also passes through the heater core 702, and part of the heat in the flowing medium is transferred to the surrounding environment through the heater core 702. Another part of the flowing medium enters the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 again through the nine-way valve 200, and the heat in the flowing medium is transferred to the surrounding environment through the matching cooling fan, so as to realize the cooling of the electric drive assembly with a smaller load, and in the air-conditioning circuit 800, through the evaporator 807 corresponding to the first electronic expansion valve 806, the ambient air temperature is reduced to form cold air, so as to realize the cooling and dehumidification of the passenger compartment.

[0050] In the second communication mode of the four-way valve 100 , the first port 1 is connected to the fourth port 4 , and the second port 2 is connected to the third port 3 , so that the engine circuit 300 is connected to the transmission circuit 700 .

[0051] Furthermore, in the second connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the engine and the electric drive assembly with a higher load and the refrigeration and dehumidification of the passenger compartment are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in operation and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the compressor 801 is in operation, and when the first solenoid switch valve 802 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in operation, and the second solenoid switch valve 805 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in a closed state, the flow medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 flows out of the electric drive assembly, passes through the nine-way valve 200, and only passes through the one-way valve 704 in the transmission circuit 700, and flows into the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 again, so as to achieve the cooling of the electric drive assembly with a higher load, and for the engine circuit 300 from the engine, the flow medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 flows out of the electric drive assembly, passes through the nine-way valve 200, passes through the one-way valve 704 in the transmission circuit 700, and flows into the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 again, so as to achieve the cooling of the electric drive assembly with a higher load. The flow medium flowing out of the engine 301 enters the water-cooled condenser 804 through the four-way valve 100 to transfer the heat generated by the engine 301 in the flow medium to the surrounding environment. Since the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the flow medium flowing out of the water-cooled condenser 804 only flows to the heater core 702 at this time, and part of the heat in the flow medium is transferred to the surrounding environment through the heater core 702. Under the action of the heater water pump 703, the cooled flow medium passes through the four-way valve 100 again and flows into the engine circuit 300 to cool the engine. In the air-conditioning circuit 800, the evaporator 807 corresponding to the first electronic expansion valve 806 is used to reduce the ambient air temperature to form cold air, thereby realizing cooling and dehumidification of the passenger compartment, thereby effectively improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner.

[0052] Furthermore, based on the cooling of the engine, the electric drive assembly with a higher load, and the refrigeration and dehumidification of the passenger compartment, when the battery needs to be cooled, the first solenoid switch valve 802, the first electronic expansion valve 806 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in working condition, and the second solenoid switch valve 805 is in closed condition. After absorbing the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack, the flow medium in the battery circuit 500 is sent into the cooling circuit 600 under the action of the battery water pump 502, and the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack absorbed in the flow medium is transferred to the air-conditioning circuit 800 through the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809, thereby realizing the cooling of the high-voltage battery pack, that is, the battery.

[0053] Furthermore, when the range-extended vehicle is in the pure electric operation mode, the engine cold machine is not started, and in the second connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the electric drive assembly with a higher load and the refrigeration of the passenger compartment are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in a working state, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 0%, the compressor 801 is in a working state, when the first solenoid switch valve 802, the second solenoid switch valve 805 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in a working state, and the second electronic expansion valve 808 is in a closed state, the flow medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 flows out of the electric drive assembly and passes through the nine-way valve 200. Under the action of the heater water pump 703, the flow medium passes through the four-way valve 400 and then passes through the cold machine state. The heat flows through the engine, water-cooled condenser 804, and three-way valve 701, and then passes through the nine-way valve 200 again, and flows to the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 to cool the electric drive assembly with a higher load. The engine in the cold machine state also takes away part of the heat in the flowing medium. In the air-conditioning circuit 800, the evaporator 807 corresponding to the first electronic expansion valve 806 is used to reduce the ambient air temperature to form cold air, thereby cooling the passenger compartment. The air-cooled condenser 803 corresponding to the first electromagnetic switch valve 802 and the water-cooled condenser 804 corresponding to the second electromagnetic switch valve 805 jointly process the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant formed by the compressor 801, thereby enhancing the refrigeration capacity of the air-conditioning system.

[0054] Furthermore, when the range-extended vehicle is in the pure electric operation mode, the engine is shut down and does not start, and in the second connection mode of the four-way valve and the first connection mode of the nine-way valve, the cooling of the electric drive assembly with a higher load and the battery refrigeration are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in operation, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 0%, the compressor 801 is in operation, and the first solenoid switch valve 802, the second solenoid switch valve 805 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in operation, and the first electronic expansion valve 806 is in a closed state, the flow medium in the battery circuit 500 absorbs the heat generated by the operation of the high-voltage battery pack. , is sent into the cooling circuit 600 under the action of the battery water pump 502, and the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack absorbed in the flowing medium is transferred to the air-conditioning circuit 800 through the low-temperature cooler Chiller809, thereby realizing the cooling of the high-voltage battery pack, that is, the battery. Furthermore, when the first solenoid switch valve 802, the second solenoid switch valve 805 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in the working state, and the second electronic expansion valve 808 is in the closed state, the evaporator 807 corresponding to the first electronic expansion valve 806 is used to reduce the ambient air temperature to form cold air, thereby realizing the cooling and dehumidification of the passenger compartment.

[0055] In the pure electric operation mode, when the engine is in a cold shutdown state, when the electric drive load is large or the battery and passenger compartment cooling demand is large, the coolant, i.e., the flowing medium, passes through the engine through the four-way valve 100 and transfers part of the heat generated by the operation of the electric drive assembly absorbed in the flowing medium to the engine, thereby reducing the cooling load of the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400, thereby reducing the speed of the cooling fan, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the entire vehicle.

[0056] When the engine is in a shutdown state and the battery or passenger compartment needs to be heated, the four-way valve is used to transfer part of the heat of the engine cylinder to the flowing medium when the flowing medium passes through the engine. Combined with the switching of the nine-way valve 200 mode, the heat of the engine is recovered to the battery or the passenger compartment, thereby reducing the power of the compressor, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the entire vehicle and improving the energy utilization efficiency.

When the heater water pump 703 is in operation and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the compressor 801 is in operation, and when the first solenoid switch valve 802, the second solenoid switch valve 805, the first electronic expansion valve 806 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are all in operation, the flow medium in the battery circuit 500 passes through the high-voltage battery pack and then flows into the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809 in the cooling circuit 600 through the nine-way valve 200, so as to transfer part of the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack in the flow medium to the air-conditioning circuit 800. After passing through the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809, the moving medium flows to the low-temperature radiator 403 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 to transfer another part of the heat generated by the high-voltage battery pack in the flowing medium to the surrounding environment, and under the action of the motor water pump 402, it flows into the electric drive assembly and DCDC / OBC again through the water-cooled intercooler 401, thereby realizing the cooling of the electric drive assembly. After the flowing medium flowing out of the electric drive assembly passes through the nine-way valve 200 and the one-way valve 704, it flows to the battery circuit 500 again, and passes through the high-voltage battery pack under the action of the battery water pump 502. Since there is heat generated by the operation of the electric drive assembly in the flowing medium at this time, the high-voltage battery pack, that is, the battery, is heated, thereby reducing the number of unnecessary valve component combinations and reducing costs.

The first inlet in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 is connected to the seventh outlet 7 of the nine-way valve 200, and the first outlet is connected to the first outlet 1 of the nine-way valve 200.

[0062] Furthermore, in the first connection mode of the four-way valve and the third connection mode of the nine-way valve, when the ambient temperature is high, that is, the outlet water temperature of the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809 is lower than the ambient temperature, and the battery temperature requirement is high, the engine warm-up, electric drive cooling and battery heating are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in a closed state, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 0%, the compressor 801 is in a working state, when the first solenoid switch valve 802 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in a closed state, and the second solenoid switch valve 805 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in a working state, the flow medium flowing out of the electric drive assembly in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 passes through the nine-way valve 200 and then passes through the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809 in the cooling circuit 600. At this time, the temperature of the flow medium flowing out of the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809 is lower than the ambient temperature. The flow medium flowing out of the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809 passes through the nine-way valve 200 and enters the low-temperature radiator 403 and the water-cooled intercooler 401 in the electric drive assembly circuit 400, thereby cooling the electric drive assembly. For the flow medium in the engine circuit 300, the engine circuit 300 is not connected to other circuits at this time, and the high-temperature radiator 303 does not work at this time, so that the heat in the engine circuit 300 continues to rise, and the engine is warmed up. In the battery circuit 500, the flow medium flowing out of the high-voltage battery pack passes through the nine-way valve 200 and flows to the warm air water pump 703 in the transmission circuit 700. Under the action of the warm air water pump 703, it passes through the water-cooled condenser 804 and the three-way valve 701 and flows into the battery circuit 500 again, so that the heat in the battery circuit 500 continues to rise, and the high-voltage battery pack, that is, the battery, is heated.

[0063] Furthermore, in the second connection mode of the four-way valve and the third connection mode of the nine-way valve, when the ambient temperature is high and the demand for heating the passenger compartment is high, the engine warm-up, electric drive cooling and passenger compartment heating are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in operation, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the compressor 801 is in operation, and when the first electromagnetic switch valve 802 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in the closed state, and the second electromagnetic switch valve 805 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in operation, for the flow medium in the engine circuit 300, at this time, the engine circuit 300 and The transmission circuit 700 is connected, and the high-temperature radiator 303 is not working at this time, so that the flow medium flowing out of the engine 301 flows through the four-way valve 100 to the water-cooled condenser 804, the three-way valve 701 and the heater core 702 in the transmission circuit 700, and heats the passenger compartment through the heater core 702.

[0064] Embodiment 4

[0065] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the thermal management system provided in the embodiment of the present application in the fourth connection mode of the nine-way valve is shown. In the fourth connection mode of the nine-way valve 200, that is, mode 4, the first outlet 1 is connected to the third outlet 3, the eighth outlet 8 is connected to the sixth outlet 6, the second outlet 2 is connected to the fourth outlet 4, the fifth outlet 5 is connected to the ninth outlet 9, and the seventh outlet 7 is not connected to the ports of other nine-way valves 200, wherein the first outlet 1 is connected to the third outlet 3, and the fifth outlet 5 is connected to the ninth outlet 9, so that the cooling circuit 600 is connected to the second inlet and the first outlet in the electric drive assembly circuit 400, so that the flowing medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 does not flow through the low-temperature radiator 403. The second inlet in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 is connected to the ninth outlet 9 of the nine-way valve 200, and the first outlet is connected to the first outlet 1 of the nine-way valve 200.

[0066] Furthermore, in the second connection mode of the four-way valve and the fourth connection mode of the nine-way valve, engine cooling, electric drive heat storage and passenger compartment heating are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in operation and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the compressor 801 is in a closed state, and when the first solenoid switch valve 802, the second solenoid switch valve 805, and the first electronic expansion valve 806 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are all in a closed state, for the flowing medium in the engine circuit 300, the engine circuit 300 is connected with the transmission circuit 700, and the high-temperature radiator 303 is not working at this time, so that the flowing medium flowing out of the engine 301 flows to the water-cooled condenser in the transmission circuit 700 through the four-way valve 100. The heater core 702 is used to heat the passenger compartment, wherein the heat generated by the operation of the engine in the flowing medium is transferred to the surrounding environment through the water-cooled condenser 804 and the heater core 702, thereby realizing engine cooling. After the flowing medium in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 flows out of the electric drive assembly, it flows to the cooling circuit 600 through the nine-way valve 200. At this time, Chliier 809 is not working, so that the heat generated by the operation of the electric drive assembly in the flowing medium is not transferred to the surrounding environment, thereby making the electric drive store heat. When the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is not 0% and not 100%, engine cooling, electric drive heat storage and battery heating are realized.

[0067] Furthermore, in the first connection mode of the four-way valve and the fourth connection mode of the nine-way valve, when the ambient temperature is low, that is, the outlet water temperature of the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809 is higher than the ambient temperature, and the battery temperature requirement is high, the engine warm-up, electric drive heat storage and battery heating are achieved. When the heater water pump 703 is in a closed state, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 0%, the compressor 801 is in a working state, when the first electromagnetic switch valve 802 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in a closed state, and the second electromagnetic switch valve 805 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in a working state, the flow medium flowing out of the electric drive assembly in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 passes through the nine-way valve 200 and passes through the low temperature in the cooling circuit 600. Chiller 809, although part of the heat in the flowing medium is transferred to the air-conditioning circuit 800 through the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809, the residual heat in the flowing medium in the cooling circuit 600 is still relatively high, so that the flowing medium temperature in the air-conditioning circuit 800 is higher than the ambient temperature when flowing out of the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809, and the flowing medium flowing out of the low-temperature cooler Chiller 809 enters the electric drive assembly circuit 400 through the nine-way valve 200, and then flows to the electric drive assembly and DCDC / OBC again under the action of the motor water pump 402, so that the electric drive assembly can be heat stored under the combined action of the residual heat in the flowing medium and the heat generated by the operation of the electric drive assembly.

[0068] Furthermore, in the second connection mode of the four-way valve and the fourth connection mode of the nine-way valve, when the ambient temperature is low and the demand for heating the passenger compartment is high, the engine warm-up, electric drive heat storage and passenger compartment heating are realized. When the heater water pump 703 is in operation, and the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is 100%, the compressor 801 is in operation, when the first electromagnetic switch valve 802 and the first electronic expansion valve 806 are in the closed state, and the second electromagnetic switch valve 805 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 are in the operating state, the engine return The flowing medium in the circuit 300, at this time, the engine circuit 300 is connected with the transmission circuit 700, and the high-temperature radiator 303 is not working at this time, so that the flowing medium flowing out of the engine 301 flows to the water-cooled condenser 804, the three-way valve 701 and the heater core 702 in the transmission circuit 700 through the four-way valve 100, and heats the passenger compartment through the heater core 702. After the flowing medium flowing out of the electric drive assembly in the electric drive assembly circuit 400 passes through the nine-way valve 200, it passes through the low-temperature cooling medium in the cooling circuit 600 shared with the air conditioning circuit 800. The cooling machine Chiller 809 is turned on. At this time, although part of the heat in the flowing medium is transferred to the air conditioning circuit 800 through the low-temperature cooling machine Chiller 809, the remaining heat in the flowing medium of the cooling circuit 600 is still relatively high, so that the flowing medium temperature in the air conditioning circuit 800 is still higher than the ambient temperature when it flows out of the low-temperature cooling machine Chiller 809. The flowing medium flowing out of the low-temperature cooling machine Chiller 809 enters the electric drive assembly circuit 400 through the nine-way valve 200 and then flows into the motor. Under the action of the water pump 402, it flows to the electric drive assembly and DCDC / OBC again. Under the combined action of the residual heat in the flowing medium and the heat generated by the operation of the electric drive assembly, heat storage of the electric drive assembly is achieved. Among them, when the opening rate of the three-way valve 701 is not 0% and not 100%, engine warm-up, electric drive heat storage, and simultaneous heating of the passenger compartment and battery are achieved. By controlling the different internal connection modes of the four-way valve 100 and the nine-way valve 200, the number of unnecessary valve combinations is reduced, and the energy utilization efficiency is improved at the same time.

[0069] Of course, the nine-way valve 200 also has other connection modes, such as connecting the first outlet 1 with the second outlet 2, the fourth outlet 4 with the third outlet 3, the eighth outlet 8 with the sixth outlet 6, the fifth outlet 5 with the ninth outlet 9, and the seventh outlet 7 not being connected to the ports of other nine-way valves 200, and there are other different control modes between the first solenoid switch valve 802, the second solenoid switch valve 805, the first electronic expansion valve 806 and the second electronic expansion valve 808 to achieve other different thermal management scene effects.
