Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobiles and relates to an automobile thermal management system and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of the dual-carbon policy and the in-depth implementation of energy-saving and environmental protection requirements, the refrigerant media in the thermal management system of electric vehicles are transforming into environmentally friendly refrigerants, such as R290, R744 and R747A, which have low GWP values. These refrigerants have different physical and chemical properties, so the existing thermal management system architecture needs to be optimized and modified according to their characteristics.
[0003] Among them, R290 is gradually favored by automobile OEMs due to its low cost, low working pressure, environmental friendliness and excellent low-temperature heating performance. However, since it is an A3-level flammable refrigerant, its thermal management system design needs to balance safety, driving range and comfort, which poses new challenges to the system architecture.
[0004] In the prior art, common electric vehicle thermal management systems usually adopt a direct refrigerant circuit design. The main disadvantages of this design include:
[0005] 1. Safety hazards: Due to the physical properties of R290 and other refrigerants being flammable and having high working pressure, direct refrigerant circuits are prone to fire or explosion accidents when leaks occur, especially in the event of a vehicle collision, and safety is difficult to guarantee.
[0006] 2. Insufficient energy efficiency: The existing direct refrigerant circuit has low efficiency in low-temperature heating mode. The heat pump function can hardly be used below -15℃, which easily leads to increased energy consumption and affects the vehicle's range. The coupling design of the coolant circuit and the refrigerant circuit is relatively simple, and the heat exchange potential is not fully utilized, resulting in reduced overall system efficiency.
[0007] 3. Poor adaptability: The existing system is optimized for a single refrigerant and it is difficult to take into account the characteristics of multiple refrigerants at the same time, resulting in uneven performance under different working conditions. Secondly, low-temperature heat pumps require fewer heat sources, low-temperature heating efficiency, complex system control, and limited coverage of heat pumps.
[0008] 4. High complexity: The direct refrigerant circuit requires additional controllers and pipelines, which increases the complexity of system design and manufacturing costs. Summary of the invention
[0009] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem and provide an automobile thermal management system and a vehicle.
[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0014] The first battery cooler and the second battery cooler are arranged in parallel, and the refrigerant inlets of the first battery cooler and the second battery cooler are both connected to the refrigerant high-pressure outlet of the integrated plate heat exchanger. The refrigerant inlet sides of the first battery cooler and the second battery cooler are respectively provided with a second electronic expansion valve and a third electronic expansion valve; the refrigerant outlets of the first battery cooler and the second battery cooler are connected to one interface of the three-way proportional valve after being collected, and the other two interfaces of the three-way proportional valve are respectively connected to the inlet of the electric compressor and the refrigerant low-pressure inlet of the integrated plate heat exchanger, and the refrigerant low-pressure outlet of the integrated plate heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the electric compressor; the outlet of the electric compressor is divided into two routes, one route is connected to the refrigerant high-pressure inlet of the integrated plate heat exchanger, and the other route is connected to the inlet of the electric compressor after passing through a large-caliber two-stage electronic expansion valve;

[0017] In the coolant circuit, by controlling the first three-way water valve, the second three-way water valve, the third three-way water valve, the sixth three-way water valve, the first four-way water valve and the second four-way water valve, the coolant forms different circulation directions, thereby performing thermal management on the passenger compartment, the motor electronic control system and the battery system;
[0018] The first water pump, the integrated plate heat exchanger, the first three-way water valve, the second three-way water valve, the low-temperature radiator, the motor electronic control system, and the third three-way water valve are connected in sequence through the coolant pipeline according to the coolant flow direction to form a first coolant circuit;
[0019] The first water pump, the integrated plate heat exchanger, the first three-way water valve, the second three-way water valve, the motor electronic control system, and the third three-way water valve are connected in sequence according to the flow direction of the coolant to form a second coolant circuit;
[0020] The first water pump, the integrated plate heat exchanger, the sixth three-way water valve, the heater core, and the seventh three-way water valve are connected in sequence through the coolant pipeline according to the coolant flow direction to form a third coolant loop;
[0021] The first water pump, the integrated plate heat exchanger, the sixth three-way water valve, the battery system, and the seventh three-way water valve are connected in sequence through a coolant pipeline according to the coolant flow direction to form a fourth coolant loop;
[0022] The second water pump, the first battery cooler, the first four-way water valve, the cold air core, and the second four-way water valve are connected in sequence through a coolant pipeline according to the coolant flow direction to form a fifth coolant loop;
[0023] The second water pump, the first battery cooler, the first four-way water valve, the battery system, and the second four-way water valve are connected in sequence through the coolant pipeline according to the coolant flow direction to form a sixth coolant loop;
[0024] The second water pump, the first battery cooler, the first four-way water valve, the first three-way water valve, the second three-way water valve, the low-temperature radiator, the motor electronic control system, the third three-way water valve, and the second four-way water valve are connected in sequence through the coolant pipeline according to the coolant flow direction to form a seventh coolant loop;
[0025] The second water pump, the first battery cooler, the first four-way water valve, the first three-way water valve, the second three-way water valve, the motor electronic control system, the third three-way water valve, and the second four-way water valve are connected in sequence through the coolant pipeline according to the coolant flow direction to form an eighth coolant loop;

[0029] When the thermal management system faces a conventional cooling request, the refrigerant at the outlet of the first battery cooler or the second battery cooler is regulated by a three-way proportional valve to enter the inlet of the heat recovery module of the integrated plate heat exchanger, and then flows through the heat recovery module and returns to the inlet of the electric compressor. This can improve the system's cooling capacity and system COP value; if the system thermal management faces a heating request, the refrigerant at the outlet of the first battery cooler or the second battery cooler needs to be regulated by a three-way proportional valve to directly enter the inlet of the electric compressor to avoid the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant absorbing the heat of the integrated plate heat exchanger. When the refrigerant system adopts ultra-low temperature start-up or ultra-low temperature triangle cycle heating, the system needs to reduce the pressure loss at the rear end of the expansion valve, thereby increasing the upper limit of the compressor speed. At this time, the refrigerant at the outlet of the first battery cooler or the second battery cooler needs to be regulated by a three-way proportional valve to return all directly to the inlet of the compressor. At this time, the switching of the refrigerant mode needs to match the corresponding adjustment of the outer coolant circuit mode.
[0030] Furthermore, the automotive thermal management system includes multiple functional modes, each of which is implemented by combining one or more sub-modes; the sub-modes include:

[0042] Twelfth sub-mode: by switching the fourth three-way water valve, the fifth three-way water valve, the sixth three-way water valve, the seventh three-way water valve, the first four-way water valve, and the second four-way water valve, the coolant circulates in the tenth coolant circuit, and at the same time closes the second electronic expansion valve and the evaporation function of the second battery cooler;

[0123] When the thermal management system faces a conventional cooling request, the refrigerant at the outlet of the first battery cooler 3 or the second battery cooler 4 is regulated by the three-way proportional valve 5 to enter the inlet of the heat recovery module of the integrated plate heat exchanger 2, and then flows through the heat recovery module and returns to the inlet of the electric compressor 1. This can improve the system cooling capacity and system COP value; if the system thermal management faces a heating request, the refrigerant at the outlet of the first battery cooler 3 or the second battery cooler 4 needs to be regulated by the three-way proportional valve 5 to directly enter the inlet of the electric compressor 1 to avoid the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant absorbing the heat of the integrated plate heat exchanger 2. When the refrigerant system adopts ultra-low temperature start-up or ultra-low temperature triangle cycle heating, the system needs to reduce the pressure loss at the rear end of the expansion valve, thereby increasing the upper limit of the compressor speed. At this time, the refrigerant at the outlet of the first battery cooler 3 or the second battery cooler 4 needs to be regulated by the three-way proportional valve 5 to directly return to the inlet of the compressor 1. At this time, the switching of the refrigerant mode needs to match the corresponding adjustment of the outer coolant circuit mode.
[0124] The automotive thermal management system includes multiple functional modes, each of which is implemented by combining one or more sub-modes; the sub-modes include:
[0125] The first sub-mode: by switching the first three-way water valve 19, the second three-way water valve 20, and the third three-way water valve 21, the coolant circulates in the first coolant loop, and the coolant with heat flowing through the integrated plate heat exchanger 2 is distributed from a certain inlet of the three-way water valve 19 to flow into the three-way water valve 20, and then distributed to flow into the low-temperature radiator 10 and complete convection heat exchange with the surrounding air and cool down under the operation of the corresponding electronic fan 11. The cooled coolant flows into the motor electronic control system 9 again to complete the cooling or temperature equalization requirements of the motor, and then is distributed by the three-way water valve to flow back into the first water pump 16 and pumped into the plate heat exchanger 2 to construct a complete circulation mode.
[0126] Second sub-mode: by switching the first three-way water valve 19, the second three-way water valve 20, and the third three-way water valve 21, the coolant circulates in the second coolant circuit; the coolant is distributed by the three-way water valve 20 and directly flows into the motor electronic control system 9 to heat up or equalize the temperature of the motor. At this time, the coolant does not pass through the external low-temperature radiator 10, which can meet the system's request to avoid the low-temperature air intake of the external low-temperature radiator from quickly cooling the antifreeze.
[0127] The third sub-mode: by switching the first three-way water valve 19, the sixth three-way water valve 24, and the seventh three-way water valve 25, the coolant is circulated in the third coolant loop, and the antifreeze with heat in the integrated plate heat exchanger 2 is provided to the passenger compartment for heating. Specifically, the antifreeze with heat in the integrated plate heat exchanger 2 is distributed by the sixth three-way water valve 24 to enter the heater core HTC 14 in the HVAC assembly. Driven by the operation of the blower 12, the antifreeze flowing into the HTC core is cooled by the forced convection heat exchange on the wind side. At the same time, the air on the wind side is heated to heat the passenger compartment. The coolant flowing out of the heater core is distributed by the seventh three-way water valve 25 to flow back to the first water pump 16, and then pressurized back to the integrated plate heat exchanger 2 to complete the circulation mode of the heating function for the passenger compartment.
[0128] Fourth sub-mode: by switching the first three-way water valve 19, the sixth three-way water valve 24, and the seventh three-way water valve 25, the coolant is circulated in the fourth coolant loop, and the fluid with heat in the transport integrated plate heat exchanger 2 is used to preheat the battery system 15 to ensure the optimal activity of the battery module. Specifically, the first water pump 16 pumps the fluid with heat in the plate heat exchanger 2 into the battery system 15 distributed by the sixth three-way water valve 24. After completing the heating and cooling of the battery module, the coolant flows into the seventh three-way water valve 25, and then is distributed back to the first water pump 16, thereby pressurized and refluxed to the plate heat exchanger 2 to construct a complete closed circulation loop for preheating the battery system 15 and stimulating the battery activity scenario requirements.
[0129] The fifth sub-mode: by switching the fourth three-way water valve 22, the fifth three-way water valve 23, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27, the coolant circulates in the fifth coolant loop; the electronic water pump 17 pumps the coolant into the water side of the first battery cooler 3 to obtain the cold input of the refrigerant loop, and then circulates into the first three-way water valve 26 for distribution, and then the coolant with cold capacity flows into the cold air core 13 in the HVAC and is heated by convection heat exchange on the wind side, and the heated coolant discharged from the cold air core 13 is distributed by the second three-way water valve 27 to flow into the second water pump 17, so that a complete circulation loop is constructed on the water side. The air cooled on the wind side of the corresponding cold water core is distributed through the HVAC assembly to complete the cooling and dehumidification of the passenger compartment or the defogger of the front windshield in the cabin. The dehumidification of the passenger compartment in winter combined with the heating function can complete the function of heat recovery in the cabin, which has the effect of saving energy and reducing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle.
[0130] The sixth sub-mode: by switching the sixth three-way water valve 24, the seventh three-way water valve 25, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27, the coolant circulates in the sixth coolant loop, and at the same time, the first electronic expansion valve 7 is opened to enable the evaporation function of the first battery cooler 3; at this time, the antifreeze output from the first battery cooler 3 or with cold capacity can enter the battery system 15 under the mode switching of the first four-way water valve 26, thereby completing the cooling function of the electric module. The coolant flowing out of the battery system 15 after absorbing heat and heating is distributed back to the inlet of the second water pump 17 by the second four-way water valve 27, and then the power is obtained by the supercharging to flow into the first battery cooler 3 to complete a circulation mode. When the evaporation function of the first battery cooler 3 is enabled, the coolant in this mode has cold capacity and can cool the battery system 15.
[0131] Seventh sub-mode: by switching the sixth three-way water valve 24, the seventh three-way water valve 25, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27, the coolant circulates in the sixth coolant circuit, and at the same time closes the first electronic expansion valve 7, and turns off the evaporation function of the first battery cooler 3; when the second electronic expansion valve 8 is completely closed and the second battery cooler 4 does not have an evaporation function, this mode can meet the request for uniform temperature of the battery system 15.
[0132] The eighth sub-mode: by switching the first three-way water valve 19, the second three-way water valve 20, the third three-way water valve 21, the sixth three-way water valve 24, the seventh three-way water valve 25, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27, the coolant circulates in the seventh coolant circuit; the coolant with cold capacity flowing out from the water side of the first battery cooler 3 is regulated by the first four-way water valve 26 to flow into the first three-way water valve 19, and then flows out again through the second three-way water valve 20 to enter the low-temperature radiator 10. The coolant with a lower temperature obtains the first heat and heats up under the convection heat exchange on the air side of the low-temperature radiator 10, and then enters the motor electronic control system 9 to obtain the second heat and heat up, and finally returns to the second water pump 17 and the second battery cooler 4 through the corresponding mode switching of the third three-way water valve 21 and the second four-way water valve 27.
[0133] Ninth sub-mode: by switching the first three-way water valve 19, the second three-way water valve 20, the third three-way water valve 21, the sixth three-way water valve 24, the seventh three-way water valve 25, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27, the coolant circulates in the eighth coolant loop; the coolant does not pass through the low-temperature radiator 10 but directly returns to the motor electronic control system 9 from the second three-way water valve 20. This mode is suitable for use when the ambient temperature is low and the ambient air heat cannot be absorbed. At this time, the motor electronic control system 9 can only provide a heat source to meet the system heating needs.
[0134] Tenth sub-mode: By switching the fourth three-way water valve 22 and the fifth three-way water valve 23, the coolant circulates in the ninth coolant loop; the coolant pressurized by the third water pump 18 flows into the second battery cooler 4 and undergoes heat exchange to have a certain amount of cooling capacity. After flowing out, it is distributed by the fourth three-way water valve 22 into the cold air core 13. After absorbing the temperature rise, the coolant flowing out is distributed by the fifth three-way water valve 23 back to the third water pump 18 to build a complete circulation branch. In the HVAC assembly, the wind side of the cold air core 13 and the coolant side undergo heat exchange to reduce the temperature, and then the distribution of the HVAC assembly can realize the function of dehumidification and cooling of the passenger compartment; in addition, in winter, the refined passenger compartment heat energy recovery can be realized to reduce the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and improve the battery life.
[0135] Eleventh sub-mode: by switching the fourth three-way water valve 22, the fifth three-way water valve 23, the sixth three-way water valve 24, the seventh three-way water valve 25, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27, the coolant is circulated in the tenth coolant loop, and at the same time the second electronic expansion valve 8 is opened to enable the evaporation function of the second battery cooler 4; the antifreeze with cooling capacity flowing out of the second battery cooler 4 is distributed by the fourth three-way water valve 22 into the battery system 15, which can realize the cooling request for the battery module, and the coolant flows out after absorbing the heat of the battery and heating up, and is distributed by the fifth three-way water valve 23 to pass through the third water pump 18 and the second battery cooler 4 respectively, to construct a complete coolant circulation branch.
[0136] Twelfth sub-mode: by switching the fourth three-way water valve 22, the fifth three-way water valve 23, the sixth three-way water valve 24, the seventh three-way water valve 25, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27, the coolant circulates in the tenth coolant loop, and at the same time closes the second electronic expansion valve 8, turning off the evaporation function of the second battery cooler 4; when the second electronic expansion valve 8 is closed, the second battery cooler 4 has no evaporation function and the water side only has a circulation function, which can meet the temperature uniformity requirement of the battery mode.
[0137] Thirteenth sub-mode: the coolant is made to circulate in the eleventh coolant loop by switching the first three-way water valve 19, the second three-way water valve 20, the third three-way water valve 21, the fourth three-way water valve 22, the fifth three-way water valve 23, the sixth three-way water valve 24, the seventh three-way water valve 25, the first four-way water valve 26, and the second four-way water valve 27; the relatively high-temperature coolant flowing out of the battery system 15 is distributed by the second four-way water valve 27 to enter the second water pump 17 for pressurization, and then the pressurized coolant is discharged from the first battery cooler 13 by the first four-way water valve 26, the first three-way water valve 13 and the second four-way water valve 13. 9. The second three-way water valve 20 distributes the water to the low-temperature radiator 10 located in the front cabin of the vehicle, where the electronic fan 11 pushes the low-temperature air with a large temperature difference with the coolant to force the coolant inside the low-temperature radiator to cool the coolant. The cooled coolant flows out from the motor electronic control system and is distributed by the third three-way water valve 21 to flow into the first water pump 16, and then flows into the integrated plate heat exchanger 2 and is distributed by the sixth three-way water valve 24 to return to the battery system 15 again, thereby constructing a complete natural heat dissipation cycle mode that is extremely economical and energy-saving in the battery charging mode.
