[0080] In order to improve the automation degree of the temperature control system, a first water temperature detection device 26 can be arranged, for example, a temperature sensor can be arranged on the pipeline between the outlet of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 and the inlet of the control valve 24, which is used to detect the temperature of the cold carrier flowing out of the outlet of the electric drive heat exchange module 21.

[0081] A preset outlet water temperature T3 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 can be set, and T3 can be set to 30°C, for example. The outlet water temperature T2 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 is detected by the first water temperature detection device 26. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when T2>T3, the electric drive system is cooled by the electric drive radiator 23. At this time, the inlet and the second outlet of the control valve 24 and the first circulation pump 22 are opened to allow the coolant flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 to flow into the electric drive radiator 23, and the electric drive system is cooled by the electric drive radiator 23; when T2≤T3, there are two cases, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, when the indoor temperature control component 10 executes the indoor heating mode and the compressor 11 and the third expansion valve 15 are both opened, the heat of the electric drive system is recovered through the second channel 412 to improve the energy efficiency ratio of the compressor 11. At this time, the inlet and the first outlet of the control valve 24 need to be opened, that is, the inlet and the first outlet of the control valve 24 are connected (the second outlet is closed), so that the coolant flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 enters the second channel 412. At the same time, the first circulation pump 22 and the first expansion valve 42 need to be opened to allow the coolant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 14 to enter the second channel 412. The refrigerant is divided into two paths, the first path passes through the third expansion valve 15 and the drying filter 16 to enter the outdoor heat exchanger 17, and the second path passes through the first expansion valve 42 to enter the first channel 411, and merges with the first path of refrigerant in front of the gas-liquid separator 12 and then returns to the compressor 11 together; when the indoor temperature control component 10 executes the indoor cooling mode or one of the compressor 11 and the third expansion valve 15 is closed, there is no need to recover the waste heat through the heat recovery heat exchanger 41, but the electric drive system can still be cooled through the electric drive radiator 23 according to actual conditions.

[0082] The battery temperature control assembly 30 of this embodiment also includes a second circulation pump 32. The outlet of the battery heat exchange module 31 is connected to the inlet of the third channel 413. The inlet of the battery heat exchange module 31 is connected to the outlet of the second circulation pump 32, and the inlet of the second circulation pump 32 is connected to the outlet of the third channel 413. The battery temperature control assembly 30 may also include a second expansion water tank 33. The inlet of the second expansion water tank 33 is connected to the pipeline between the outlet of the battery heat exchange module 31 and the inlet of the third channel 413. The outlet of the second expansion water tank 33 is connected to the pipeline between the inlet of the second circulation pump 32 and the outlet of the third channel 413. The second expansion water tank 33 can replenish the coolant in the battery temperature control assembly 30 system before the second circulation pump 32 discharges water, and can also serve as a vent after the battery heat exchange module 31 discharges liquid.

[0083] To improve the degree of automation of the temperature control system, a second water temperature detection device 34 can also be provided, for example, a temperature sensor can be provided on the pipeline between the outlet of the battery heat exchange module 31 and the inlet of the third channel 413, for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant flowing out of the outlet of the battery heat exchange module 31.

[0084] The preset outlet water temperature T3 of the battery heat exchange module 31 can be set, and the actual outlet water temperature T2 of the battery heat exchange module 31 is detected in real time by the second water temperature detection device 34. When T2>T3, the battery assembly needs to be cooled by the heat recovery heat exchanger 41. At this time, there are three cases, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the indoor temperature control assembly 10 executes the indoor heating mode and the compressor 11 and the third expansion valve 15 are both opened, the first expansion valve 42 and the second circulating pump 32 are opened, and the second expansion valve 43 is closed, the refrigerant in the third channel 413 and the refrigerant in the first channel 411 are exchanged, and the cooling of the battery assembly is realized. At this time, the flow direction of the refrigerant is the same as that when the heat of the electric drive system is recovered through the second channel 412, and will not be described again; as shown in Figure 5 When the indoor temperature control assembly 10 executes the indoor cooling mode and the compressor 11 and the third expansion valve 15 are both opened, the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32 are opened, and the first expansion valve 42 is closed, the refrigerant in the third channel 413 and the refrigerant in the first channel 411 are exchanged, and the cooling of the battery assembly is realized. At this time, the refrigerant flows out of the outdoor heat exchanger 17, passes through the drying filter 16, and is divided into two paths, the first path enters the indoor heat exchanger 14 after passing through the third expansion valve 15, and the second path enters the first channel 411 of the heat recovery heat exchanger 41 after passing through the second expansion valve 43. The refrigerant flowing out of the heat recovery heat exchanger 41 is combined with the first path refrigerant, and then returns to the compressor 11. There is another case when the indoor temperature control assembly 10 is not started (the compressor 11 and the third expansion valve 15 are both closed), at this time, the battery temperature control assembly 30 can be started alone, the compressor 11, the second circulating pump 32 and the second expansion valve 43 are started, and the first expansion valve 42 and the third expansion valve 15 are closed (or the compressor 11, the second circulating pump 32 and the first expansion valve 42 are started, and the second expansion valve 43 and the third expansion valve 15 are closed), at this time, the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the compressor 11, and then passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 17, the drying filter 16, the second expansion valve 43, the first channel 411 and the gas-liquid separator 12 in turn, and then flows back to the compressor 11 (or the refrigerant flows out of the exhaust port of the compressor 11, and then passes through the indoor heat exchanger 14, the first expansion valve 42, the first channel 411 and the gas-liquid separator 12 in turn, and then flows back to the compressor 11). When T2≤T3, the battery assembly does not need to be cooled by the heat recovery heat exchanger 41.

[0085] The embodiment of the present application also provides an electric vehicle comprising the temperature control system.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method of the temperature control system, which is applied to the temperature control system and the indoor temperature control component 10 of the temperature control system comprises an indoor heating mode, an indoor cooling mode and a ventilation mode.

[0087] In the indoor heating mode, the control method of the temperature control system comprises an indoor temperature control component 10 control step, an electric drive temperature control component 20 control step and a battery temperature control component 30 control step.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 1, the indoor temperature control component 10 control step comprises: Figure 7

[0089] S50, setting an indoor preset temperature T50.

[0090] The indoor preset temperature T50 can be set according to actual needs.

[0091] S51, detecting an indoor actual temperature T51 in real time through an indoor temperature detection device and judging whether T50>T51 is established,

[0092] If yes, the indoor temperature control component 10 is started, that is, the compressor 11, the third expansion valve 15, the indoor fan 141 and the outdoor fan 171 are started;

[0093] If no, the battery temperature control component 30 is judged, if no, the compressor 11, the third expansion valve 15, the indoor fan 141 and the outdoor fan 171 are closed, if yes, the third expansion valve 15 and the outdoor fan 171 are closed.

[0094] This step is to judge whether the indoor actual temperature T51 is lower than the indoor preset temperature T50, if yes, heating is needed, if no, the indoor temperature control component 10 is kept in standby state.

[0095] ​The criterion for judging that the indoor temperature control component 10 is turned on is that the compressor 11 and the third expansion valve 15 are both turned on. When T50≤T51, if the battery temperature control component 30 is in the turned-on state (it can be judged that the battery temperature control component 30 is in the turned-on state when the second circulating pump 32 is in the turned-on state), the compressor 11 does not need to be turned off, only the outdoor fan 171 is turned off, the third expansion valve 15 is kept in the closed state, but the first expansion valve 42 can be turned on, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 14 exchanges heat with the cold carrier in the first passage 411 and the third passage 413 through the first expansion valve 42, thereby realizing the cooling of the battery component.

[0096] When the indoor temperature control component 10 works alone, only the third expansion valve 15 is turned on among the three expansion valves, and the first expansion valve 42 and the second expansion valve 43 are both turned off.

[0097] S52, repeat step S51 until the temperature control system exits the indoor heating mode.

[0098] As shown in FIG. 6, the control steps of the electric drive temperature control component 20 include: Figure 8

[0099] S10, set the preset outlet water temperature T13 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21.

[0100] S11, detect the actual outlet water temperature T12 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 in real time, and judge whether T12>T13 is established,

[0101] If yes, control the control valve 24 to make the cold carrier flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 flow into the electric drive radiator 23, turn on the outdoor fan 171 and the first circulating pump 22; judge whether the battery temperature control component 30 is in the working state, if yes, keep the current state unchanged; if no, turn off the first expansion valve 42.

[0102] If no, judge whether the indoor temperature control component 10 is turned on, if yes, control the control valve 24 to make the cold carrier flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 flow into the second passage 412, turn on the first circulating pump 22 and the first expansion valve 42, and turn off the second expansion valve 43; if no, judge whether the battery temperature control component 30 is in the working state, if yes, turn off the first circulating pump 22; if no, turn off the first expansion valve 42 and the first circulating pump 22.

[0103] ​This step is also when T12>T13, it means that the heat dissipation demand of the electric drive system is higher at this time, and it can be considered that the heat recovery heat exchanger 41 cannot meet its heat dissipation demand, and the electric drive radiator 23 needs to be used to cool the electric drive system. At this time, the inlet and the second outlet of the control valve 24 are opened, that is, the inlet and the second outlet of the control valve 24 are made to be in conduction (the first outlet is cut off), so that the cold carrier flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 flows into the electric drive radiator 23, and the outdoor fan 171 and the first circulating pump 22 are opened at the same time. At this time, it is also necessary to judge whether the battery temperature control assembly 30 is in the working state (the second circulating pump 32 is opened to judge whether the battery temperature control assembly 30 is in the working state), if the battery temperature control assembly 30 is in the working state, the current state is maintained, and no adjustment is needed; if the battery temperature control assembly 30 is not in the working state, the first expansion valve 42 is closed, and the inlet and the first outlet of the control valve 24 are closed.

[0104] S12, repeat step S11 until the temperature control system exits the heating mode.

[0105] As shown in Figure 9 , the battery temperature control assembly 30 control step includes:

[0106] S20, set the preset outlet water temperature T23 of the battery heat exchange module 31.

[0107] S21, real-time detect the actual outlet water temperature T22 of the battery heat exchange module 31, and judge whether T22>T23 is established,

[0108] If yes, judge whether the indoor temperature control assembly 10 is opened, if yes, open the first expansion valve 42 and the second circulating pump 32, and close the second expansion valve 43; if not, open the compressor 11, the first expansion valve 42 and the second circulating pump 32, and close the second expansion valve 43;

[0109] If not, judge whether the electric drive temperature control assembly 20 exchanges heat through the second channel 412, if yes, close the second circulating pump 32; if not, close the first expansion valve 42, the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32.

[0110] When T22 > T23, it indicates that the battery module needs to dissipate heat, and the compressor 11 needs to be started to cool the coolant in the third channel 413 with the refrigerant in the first channel 411, so as to dissipate the heat of the battery module. At this time, it is necessary to determine whether the indoor temperature control component 10 is started. If the indoor temperature control component 10 is in the started state, then the compressor 11 is already in the started state at this time, and only the first expansion valve 42 and the second circulation pump 32 need to be started. If the indoor temperature control component 10 is not started, then the compressor 11 also needs to be started at this time. In the indoor heating mode, the second expansion valve 43 also needs to be closed so that the refrigerant can be split to the heat recovery heat exchanger 41 through the first expansion valve 42 after flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 14.

[0111] When T22 ≤ T23, it indicates that the temperature of the battery module is not high at this time and heat dissipation is not required. At this time, the opening and closing state of the indoor temperature control component 10 remains unchanged. At the same time, it is judged whether the electric drive temperature control component 20 exchanges heat through the second channel 412 (if the first circulation pump 22, as well as the inlet and the first outlet of the control valve 24 are all in the opened state, it can be judged that the electric drive temperature control component 20 exchanges heat through the second channel 412 to realize the heat recovery function). At this time, the first expansion valve 42 remains in the opened state, the second expansion valve 43 remains in the closed state, and the second circulation pump 32 is closed. If the electric drive temperature control component 20 does not exchange heat through the second channel 412, then the first expansion valve 42 and the second circulation pump 32 are closed, and the second expansion valve 43 remains in the closed state.

[0112] S22. Repeat step S21 until the temperature control system exits the heating mode.

[0113] In the indoor cooling mode, the temperature control system includes the control steps of the indoor temperature control component 10, the control steps of the electric drive temperature control component 20, and the control steps of the battery temperature control component 30. It can be understood that when entering the indoor cooling mode, the four-way reversing valve 13 will switch to conduct its first interface 131 and the second interface 132, and its third interface 133 and the fourth interface 134 will conduct.

[0114] As Figure 10 shown, the control steps of the indoor temperature control component 10 include:

[0115] S60. Set the indoor preset temperature T60.

[0116] The indoor preset temperature T60 can be set as needed.

[0117] S61. Start the indoor fan 141. The indoor fan 141 operates in the ventilation mode, and the actual indoor temperature T61 is detected in real time, and it is judged whether T60 < T61 holds.

[0118] If it holds, start the indoor temperature control component 10.

[0119] If not, it is judged whether the battery temperature control component 30 is turned on. If yes, the first expansion valve 42 is closed, and the second expansion valve 43 is kept in the open state. If not, the third expansion valve 15 and the compressor 11 are closed, and the first expansion valve 42 and the second expansion valve 43 are kept in the closed state.

[0120] This step is to judge whether the actual indoor temperature T61 is higher than the preset indoor temperature T60. If yes, the indoor cooling is needed. If not, the indoor cooling is not needed.

[0121] S62, the step S61 is repeatedly executed until the temperature control system exits the indoor cooling mode.

[0122] This step is to monitor the actual indoor temperature T61 in real time. As long as the temperature control system is in the indoor cooling mode, the actual indoor temperature T61 is detected. If it is higher than T60, the cooling is needed. If it is not higher than T60, the cooling is stopped. When the temperature control system exits the indoor cooling mode, the step S61 is also stopped, and the actual indoor temperature T61 is no longer monitored in real time.

[0123] As shown in FIG. 6, the control steps of the electric drive temperature control component 20 include: Figure 11

[0124] S30, the preset outlet water temperature T33 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 is set.

[0125] S31, the actual outlet water temperature T32 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 is detected in real time. It is judged whether T32>T33 is established. If yes, the control valve 24 is controlled to make the cold carrier flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 flow into the electric drive radiator 23, and the outdoor fan 171 and the first circulating pump 22 are turned on. If not, the first circulating pump 22 and the outdoor fan 171 are closed.

[0126] At this time, the indoor temperature control component 10 is in the indoor cooling mode. In this mode, the heat of the electric drive system does not need to be recovered. Therefore, only when the actual outlet water temperature T32 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 exceeds the preset outlet water temperature T33 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21, the electric drive radiator 23 is used to cool it. When T32 does not exceed T33, the cold carrier does not need to be cooled.

[0127] When T32>T33, the inlet and the second outlet of the control valve 24 are opened, so that the cold carrier flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 flows into the electric drive radiator 23. At the same time, the outdoor fan 171 and the first circulating pump 22 are turned on. When T32≤T33, the first circulating pump 22 and the outdoor fan 171 are closed, and the inlet and the second outlet of the control valve 24 are closed.

[0128] ​S32, repeat step S31 until the electric drive system is closed.

[0129] As shown in FIG. 1, the battery temperature control component 30 controls the steps as follows: Figure 12

[0130] S40, set the preset outlet water temperature T43 of the battery heat exchange module 31.

[0131] S41, real-time detect the actual outlet water temperature T42 of the battery heat exchange module 31, and determine whether T42>T43 is true,

[0132] If true, determine whether the indoor temperature control component 10 is on, if yes, open the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32, and close the first expansion valve 42; if not, open the compressor 11, the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32, and close the first expansion valve 42.

[0133] If not true, close the second circulating pump 32 and the second expansion valve 43.

[0134] At this time, the indoor temperature control component 10 is in the indoor cooling mode, and in this mode, the cooling of the battery component can still be realized, and the battery temperature control system can be operated independently in any mode, and the battery temperature control component 30 can be opened to cool the battery component as long as the battery component needs cooling. When T42>T43, it means that the temperature of the battery component is high, and it needs to be cooled, if the indoor temperature control component 10 is in the on state at this time, only the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32 need to be opened, and the first expansion valve 42 is kept closed; if the indoor temperature control component 10 is not on, the compressor 11 also needs to be opened.

[0135] S42, repeat step S41 until the battery component stops working.

[0136] When the temperature control system is in the ventilation mode, only the indoor fan 141 of the indoor temperature control component 10 needs to be opened, and the standby state is maintained. The control method of the electric drive temperature control component 20 is the same as that in the indoor cooling mode, which will not be described here. The control method of the battery temperature control component 30 can select the control method in the indoor cooling mode or the control method in the indoor heating mode, both of which can be realized, and a more reasonable control method can be selected according to the temperature condition of the environment, for example, when the outdoor environment temperature is high, the control method in the indoor cooling mode can be selected, and when the outdoor environment temperature is low, the control method in the indoor heating mode can be selected. At this time, because the indoor temperature control component 10 is in the standby state, the compressor 11 and the third expansion valve 15 are not opened, so in the control step, it is not necessary to consider whether the indoor temperature control component 10 is on.

[0137] ​In the indoor heating mode, the outdoor heat exchanger 17 will be frosted after a period of operation as an evaporator, and needs to run the defrosting mode every interval to melt and remove the frost layer.

[0138] At this time, the control steps of the indoor temperature control assembly 10 include:

[0139] S70, the system enters standby mode, and sets the condensation preset temperature T6, which can be set to 10℃.

[0140] S71, the condensation actual temperature T5 is detected in real time by the condensation temperature detection device 19, and it is judged whether T6>T5 is established,

[0141] If yes, the compressor 11, the third expansion valve 15, the indoor fan 141 and the outdoor fan 171 are started; at this time, the refrigerant flow direction is the same as that in the indoor refrigeration mode. The defrosting mode runs for more than 5 minutes, and ends.

[0142] If not, it ends.

[0143] The control steps of the electric drive temperature control assembly 20 include:

[0144] S80, the preset outlet water temperature T83 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 is set.

[0145] S81, the actual outlet water temperature T82 of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 is detected in real time, and it is judged whether T82>T83 is established,

[0146] If yes, the control valve 24 is controlled to make the cold carrier flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 flow into the electric drive radiator 23, the outdoor fan 171 and the first circulating pump 22 are started; it is judged whether the battery temperature control assembly 30 is in working state, if yes, the current state is kept unchanged; if not, the second expansion valve 43 is closed;

[0147] If not, it is judged whether the indoor temperature control assembly 10 is started, if yes, the control valve 24 is controlled to make the cold carrier flowing out of the electric drive heat exchange module 21 flow into the second channel 412, the first circulating pump 22 and the second expansion valve 43 are started, and the first expansion valve 42 is closed; if not, it is judged whether the battery temperature control assembly 30 is in working state, if the battery temperature control assembly 30 is in working state, the first circulating pump 22 is closed; if the battery temperature control assembly 30 is not in working state, the first expansion valve 42 and the first circulating pump 22 are closed.

[0148] S82, step S81 is repeatedly executed until the temperature control system exits the defrosting mode.

[0149] The control steps of the battery temperature control assembly 30 include:

[0150] S90, set the preset outlet water temperature T93 of the battery heat exchange module 31.

[0151] S91, the actual outlet water temperature T92 of the battery heat exchange module 31 is detected in real time, and it is judged whether T92>T93 is established,

[0152] If it is established, it is judged whether the indoor temperature control assembly 10 is opened, if yes, the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32 are opened, and the first expansion valve 42 is closed; if not, the compressor 11, the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32 are opened, and the first expansion valve 42 is closed;

[0153] If it is not established, it is judged whether the electric drive temperature control assembly 20 exchanges heat through the second channel 412, if yes, the second circulating pump 32 is closed; if not, the first expansion valve 42, the second expansion valve 43 and the second circulating pump 32 are closed.

[0154] S92, the step S91 is repeatedly executed until the temperature control system exits the defrosting mode.

[0155] The system can still realize the normal operation of the electric drive temperature control assembly 20 and the battery temperature control assembly 30 in the defrosting mode, and the control method of the electric drive temperature control assembly 20 and the battery temperature control assembly 30 in the indoor refrigeration mode is the same, at this time, the heat recovered by the heat recovery heat exchanger 41 is beneficial to help the air conditioning system to defrost better.

[0156] It can be understood that the temperature control system provided by the embodiment of the application further includes a controller, and the controller stores control instructions, and when the control instructions are executed by the controller, the above-mentioned control method can be realized, that is, the temperature control system can be controlled to operate according to the above-mentioned control method through the controller.

[0157] As can be seen from the above, the temperature control system, the electric vehicle and the control method of the temperature control system provided by the embodiment of the application can realize heat dissipation of the battery assembly in various modes such as indoor refrigeration and indoor heating, can realize waste heat recovery of the electric drive system and the battery assembly in the indoor heating mode, improve the refrigerant temperature at the compressor inlet, reduce the compression amount of the compressor, thereby improving the energy efficiency ratio of the compressor, which is beneficial to reduce energy consumption and also improves the heating effect of the compressor. It organically combines the indoor temperature control assembly, the electric drive temperature control assembly and the battery temperature control assembly, reduces the overall volume and weight of the system, and is beneficial to prolong the endurance of the electric vehicle. And it integrates the outdoor heat exchanger and the electric drive heat radiator, shares the outdoor fan, further reduces the occupied space of the system, reduces the use of components, and is beneficial to reduce the investment cost of the equipment. At the same time, it can meet the heat dissipation needs of the electric drive system and the battery assembly under various working conditions, and the three systems (indoor temperature control assembly, electric drive temperature control assembly and battery temperature control assembly) are independent of each other and can work independently without interference.

[0158] By integrating the electric drive temperature control components and battery temperature control components into the air conditioning system of the indoor temperature control components, the space occupied by the independent systems in the vehicle is reduced, thereby releasing more space in the vehicle and improving the flexibility of the internal layout of the vehicle. The integrated system reduces additional components and pipes, reduces the weight of the vehicle, and helps to improve the energy efficiency and performance of the vehicle. At the same time, it also reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs, and the integrated system can reduce the investment of materials and labor. The optimization of the system control logic enables the heat of the electric drive system and the battery components to be recovered during indoor heating and defrosting modes, improving the energy utilization efficiency and further enhancing the energy efficiency and comfort of the system. At the same time, the integrated system design improves the compatibility with different vehicle models, facilitating the application and promotion on various vehicle models.
