[0045] Figure 2 The present invention is a flowchart of a method for heat management of a power battery, the method comprising the following steps:

[0046] S1: Control module 2 determines whether the temperature of the power battery is greater than the first preset temperature. If not, it enters S2. If yes, it enters S4. Figure 2 In S1, specifically, after the temperature sensor feeds back the collected temperature of the power battery to the control module 2, the control module 2 determines whether the temperature of the power battery is greater than the first preset temperature. If the control module 2 determines that the temperature of the power battery is not greater than the first preset temperature, it enters S2; if the control module 2 determines that the temperature of the power battery is greater than the first preset temperature, it enters S4.

[0047] Among them, the first preset temperature is 35 degrees Celsius.

[0048] S2: Control module 2 determines whether the temperature of the power battery is lower than the second preset temperature. If not, it enters S3. If yes, it enters S9.

If the control module 2 determines that the temperature of the power battery is not less than the second preset temperature, it enters S3; if the control module 2 determines that the temperature of the power battery is less than the second preset temperature, it enters S9.

[0049] Among them, the second preset temperature is 5 degrees Celsius.

[0050] S3: The control module 2 determines whether the vehicle speed is greater than a preset speed threshold. If so, it enters S5. If not, the control module 2 enters the heat management mode and enters S1. Figure 2In S3, specifically, after S1 and S2, when the control module 2 determines that the temperature of the power battery is not less than the second preset temperature and not greater than the first preset temperature, the control module 2 will determine whether the vehicle speed at this time is greater than the preset speed threshold. If the control module 2 determines that the vehicle speed at this time is greater than the preset speed threshold, it enters S5.

If so, it enters S5; if not, it enters S6; S5: The control module controls the execution module to enhance cooling of the power battery; then enter S7; S6: The control module controls the execution module to perform conventional cooling on the power battery; then enter S8; S7: The control module determines whether the temperature of the power battery is not greater than the third preset temperature. If so, the process proceeds to S8; if not, the process proceeds to S5; S8: The control module controls the execution module to stop cooling the power battery; and the process proceeds to S20; S9: The control module determines whether the vehicle is in a charging state. If so, it proceeds to S10; if not, it proceeds to S11; S10: The control module controls the execution module to enhance the heating of the power battery; enter S12; S11: The control module controls the execution module to perform conventional heating on the power battery; then enters S13; S12: The control module determines whether the temperature of the power battery is not less than a fourth preset temperature. If so, the process proceeds to S13; if not, the process proceeds to S10; S13: The control module controls the execution module to stop heating the power battery; and the process proceeds to S20; S20: End.

7. A method for thermal management of a power battery according to claim 6, characterized in that: After the control module enters the heat management mode, the control module controls the execution module to cool or heat the power battery according to the ambient temperature.

8. A method for heat management of a power battery according to claim 6, characterized in that: The time during which the control module controls the execution module to perform normal cooling of the power battery is a first preset time; the time during which the control module controls the execution module to perform normal heating of the power battery is a second preset time.

9. A method for heat management of a power battery according to claim 6, characterized in that: The first preset temperature is 35 degrees Celsius; the second preset temperature is 5 degrees Celsius; the third preset temperature is 30 degrees Celsius; and the fourth preset temperature is 20 degrees Celsius.

10. A method for heat management of a power battery according to claim 8, characterized in that: The first preset time is 20 minutes; the second preset time is 15 minutes.
