Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a thermal management system for a new energy vehicle, and in particular to an integrated thermal management system for a new energy vehicle that can fully utilize the heat dissipation of a motor. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy, green energy resources are becoming scarce. Countries have formulated effective measures for the goal of carbon neutrality, and vigorously developing new energy vehicles (including passenger cars, commercial vehicles, engineering vehicles, etc.) has also become one of the important means to save energy and achieve carbon neutrality.
[0003] New energy vehicles are paying more and more attention to vehicle thermal management technology. The current technical development of thermal management systems for new energy vehicles has evolved from simple distributed three-electric thermal management to integrated three-electric thermal management, and a variety of three-electric thermal coupling systems have been developed. Through effective integrated thermal management technology, energy loss caused by temperature problems can be reduced. For example, batteries working at a suitable temperature can improve their charging and discharging efficiency and reduce energy loss; cooling of motors and electronic control units can also reduce performance degradation caused by overheating and improve overall energy utilization efficiency. At the same time, the thermal management system of new energy vehicles is an important part of ensuring vehicle safety. By monitoring and controlling the temperature of batteries, motors and electronic control units, safety accidents such as thermal runaway can be prevented. The thermal management system can also work in conjunction with the vehicle's air conditioning system, using the heat or coolant generated by the battery to heat or cool the passenger compartment to improve passenger comfort. Through vehicle integrated thermal management, the motor and battery can be kept in the optimal operating temperature range with the highest efficiency. Combined with heat pump air conditioning technology, the vehicle's endurance can be further improved.
[0004] However, at lower ambient temperatures, even if new energy vehicles use heat pump technology to absorb heat from the environment, the air conditioning power consumption is still high, which further increases the vehicle's endurance degradation. When the ambient temperature is below a certain level, such as -10°C, some thermal management systems can only use electric heaters for heating, and the compressor cannot be started due to the low ambient temperature. At this time, the endurance degradation is more serious. At the same time, many existing integrated thermal management technologies use eight-way valves, ten-way valves, and even twelve-way valves to integrate the vehicle's thermal management circuit, but the more valve ports a multi-way valve has, the more complex the system structure will be; on the other hand, since all thermal management lines are integrated / connected to the multi-way valve, the multi-way valve becomes the "hub" of the vehicle's thermal management system. Once the eight-way valve, ten-way valve, or twelve-way valve fails, not only is the difficulty of fault location and repair very high, but it can also sometimes lead to safety accidents. Summary of the invention

[0050] During implementation, for example, when the cab needs strong heating and the battery 17, motor 19, and controller 20 need to dissipate heat, the A and C ports of the first three-way valve 25 are controlled to be connected, the A and B ports of the first three-way valve 25 are isolated, the first expansion valve 22 is opened, and the second expansion valve 23 and the third expansion valve 24 are closed; the D and E ports of the second three-way valve 26 are connected, the D and F ports of the second three-way valve 26 are isolated, the Q and R ports of the six-way valve 31 are connected, the W and S ports of the six-way valve 31 are connected, and the V and T ports of the six-way valve 31 are connected; the compressor 9, the first circulation pump 28, the second circulation pump 29, and the third circulation pump 30 are operated.
