[0023] Embodiment 2: Existing hybrid vehicle models generally use a high-voltage PTC5 (Positive Temperature Coefficient, referring to semiconductor materials or components with a large positive temperature coefficient) heating method and an engine 2 auxiliary heating method for heating the battery 1 and the passenger compartment. This heating method has high energy consumption, low COP (energy efficiency ratio), and high hardware cost.

[0024] The principle of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment. On the basis of the first embodiment, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a direct cooling and direct heating thermal management system for the passenger compartment of a hybrid vehicle, in which the heater core 23 is provided with a low-pressure air PTC5; the low-pressure air PTC5 is used to be activated when there is a demand for heating the passenger compartment, and heats the air outlet of the heater core 23.

[0025] When efficient heating is needed in extremely cold areas, the compressor 3 can be turned on and the cooling and heating functions can be enabled at the same time. Combined with the waste heat of the engine 2 and the low-pressure air PTC5 heating, the heating needs of the passenger compartment in extremely cold areas can be met.

[0026] Embodiment three: Based on the hybrid vehicle passenger compartment direct cooling and direct heating thermal management system described in Example 1, this embodiment provides a hybrid vehicle passenger compartment direct cooling and direct heating thermal management method to achieve different passenger compartment thermal management requirements, see Figure 2 , the method comprising: S1. In response to the passenger compartment heating demand, the compressor 3 is controlled to be turned on, so that the refrigerant flows from the compressor 3 through the in-vehicle condenser 4 and the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8 in sequence and then returns to the compressor 3; or the compressor 3 is controlled to be turned on, so that the refrigerant flows from the compressor 3 through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, the in-vehicle evaporator 13 in sequence and then returns to the compressor 3; S2. In response to the cooling demand of the passenger compartment, the compressor 3 is controlled to start, so that the refrigerant flows from the compressor 3 through the condenser, the external heat exchanger 8, the internal evaporator 13 in sequence, and then returns to the compressor 3.

[0027] The control process of step S1 is respectively conventional heating of the passenger compartment and heating of the passenger compartment under low temperature environment; When the passenger compartment is heated in a conventional manner, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is opened, the first stop valve 7 is closed, the second stop valve 11 is opened, and the second electronic expansion valve 12 and the third electronic expansion valve 14 are closed. At this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4 in sequence, is throttled by the first electronic expansion valve 6, evaporates through the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, and then flows back to the compressor 3 through the second stop valve 11; When heating the passenger compartment under low temperature conditions, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is closed, the first stop valve 7 is opened, the external heat exchanger 8 does not exchange heat, the second electronic expansion valve 12 is opened, the third electronic expansion valve 14 is closed, and the second stop valve 11 is closed. At this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the first stop valve 7, the external heat exchanger 8, the electronic expansion valve, and the in-vehicle evaporator 13 at one time; at this time, the cooling and heating functions of the refrigerant circuit are turned on at the same time. Since the external environment is too low, heat cannot be absorbed from the external environment, so the compressor 3 works to convert mechanical energy into heat energy. Although cooling and heating are turned on at the same time, the heating capacity is greater than the cooling capacity (because of the law of conservation of energy, the total heat added by the refrigerant circuit is approximately equal to the work done by the compressor 3); The control process of step S2 is conventional cooling of the passenger compartment, at which time the first stop valve 7 is opened, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is closed, the second electronic expansion valve 12 is opened, the third electronic expansion valve 14 is closed, and the second stop valve 11 is closed; at this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the first stop valve 7, the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, the second electronic expansion valve 12, the in-vehicle evaporator 13 in sequence, and returns to the compressor 3.

[0028] Furthermore, in response to the heating demand of the passenger compartment, the compressor 3 is controlled to start, so that the refrigerant flows from the compressor 3 through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, the first heat exchanger 18 in sequence and then returns to the compressor 3. At the same time, the multi-way water valve is controlled to connect the water circuit of the motor 21 in series with the water circuit of the battery 1.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises the following control modes: 1) Battery heating mode When the engine 2 is running, the three-way water valve is controlled to connect the first water circuit of the battery 1 and the second water circuit of the battery 1; at this time, the waste heat of the engine 2 is transferred to the water circuit of the battery 1 through the second heat exchanger 22 and heats the battery 1.

[0030] When the engine 2 is not running, the self-heating function of the battery 1 is enabled, and the power of the battery 1 is converted into heat energy. At this time, the COP is 1.

[0031] It is understandable that in a low temperature environment (such as -22°C), the engine 2 can be operated to heat the battery 1, and the self-heating function of the battery 1 is enabled at the same time, and the COP is 1 at this time.

[0032] 2) Dehumidification mode The dehumidification modes include heating dehumidification, cooling dehumidification, and cooling and heating at the same time with dehumidification.

[0033] In the heating and dehumidification mode, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is opened, the first stop valve 7 is closed, the second stop valve 11 is opened, and the second electronic expansion valve 12 and the third electronic expansion valve 14 are closed. At this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4 in turn, is throttled by the first electronic expansion valve 6, evaporates through the outdoor heat exchanger 8, and then flows back to the compressor 3 through the second stop valve 11.

[0034] In the refrigeration and dehumidification mode (suitable for high ambient temperature), the first stop valve 7 is opened, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is closed, the second electronic expansion valve 12 is opened, the third electronic expansion valve 14 is closed, and the second stop valve 11 is closed; at this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the first stop valve 7, the outdoor heat exchanger 8, the second electronic expansion valve 12, the in-vehicle evaporator 13 in sequence, and returns to the compressor 3.

[0035] In the dehumidification mode when cooling, heating and cooling are turned on at the same time, the first stop valve 7 is opened, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is closed, the second electronic expansion valve 12 is opened, the third electronic expansion valve 14 is closed, and the second stop valve 11 is closed; at this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the first stop valve 7, the outdoor heat exchanger 8, the second electronic expansion valve 12, the in-vehicle evaporator 13 in sequence, and returns to the compressor 3; at the same time, the low-pressure air PTC5 is turned on to heat the outlet air.

[0036] 3) Defrost mode In the defrost mode, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is opened, the first stop valve 7 is closed, the second stop valve 11 is opened, and the second electronic expansion valve 12 and the third electronic expansion valve 14 are closed. At this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4 in sequence, is throttled by the first electronic expansion valve 6, evaporates through the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, and then flows back to the compressor 3 through the second stop valve 11; 4) Passenger compartment battery hybrid heating mode In the passenger compartment battery hybrid heating mode, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is opened, the first stop valve 7 is closed, the second stop valve 11 is opened, and the second electronic expansion valve 12 and the third electronic expansion valve 14 are closed. At this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4 in sequence, is throttled by the first electronic expansion valve 6, evaporates through the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, and then flows back to the compressor 3 through the second stop valve 11; When the engine 2 is running, the three-way water valve is controlled to connect the first water circuit of the battery 1 and the second water circuit of the battery 1; at this time, the waste heat of the engine 2 is transferred to the water circuit of the battery 1 through the second heat exchanger 22 and heats the battery 1.

[0037] When the engine 2 is not running, the self-heating function of the battery 1 is enabled, and the power consumed by the battery 1 is converted into heat energy.

[0038] It is understandable that in a low temperature environment, the engine 2 can be operated to heat the battery 1, while the self-heating function of the battery 1 is enabled.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating capacity of the passenger compartment and the battery 1 can be distributed by controlling the three-way water valve.

[0040] 5) Motor waste heat heating mode In the motor waste heat heating mode, the compressor 3 is turned on, the first stop valve 7 is turned on, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is turned off, the third electronic expansion valve 14 is turned on, the second electronic expansion valve 12 is turned off, and the second stop valve 11 is turned off; at this time, the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the first stop valve 7, the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, the third electronic expansion valve 14, the first heat exchanger 18 in sequence, and flows back to the compressor 3; The first three-way water valve is controlled to disconnect the second water circuit of the motor 21 (i.e., the combustion and heating cycle of the motor 21 is stopped), the four-way water valve 17 is controlled to connect the water circuit of the motor 21 and the water circuit of the battery 1, and the battery water pump 19 and the motor water pump 15 are started at the same time.

[0041] In this mode, compared with the method of using the water circuit of the motor 21 to heat the passenger compartment in the prior art, the present invention absorbs the heat of the water circuit of the motor 21 through the first heat exchanger 18, and then uses the refrigerant to heat the passenger compartment; through the recovery of the motor waste heat, or the heat energy generated by the motor's reduced efficiency heating is fully utilized, it can reduce the heating energy consumption during pure electric driving, and provide sufficient heat source for battery heating under extremely low temperature conditions, thereby increasing the charging speed. In addition, under low temperature conditions, the waste heat of the motor 21 can also be used to heat the battery 1 (the opening and closing of the third electronic expansion valve 14 can be controlled so that the waste heat of the motor 21 can be supplied to the battery 1 for heating first), so that the waste heat of the motor 21 is fully utilized.

[0042] 6) Battery cooling and passenger compartment heating mode In the battery cooling passenger compartment heating mode, the compressor 3 is turned on, the first stop valve 7 is turned on, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is turned off, the third electronic expansion valve 14 is turned on, the second electronic expansion valve 12 is turned off, and the second stop valve 11 is turned off; the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the first stop valve 7, the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, the third electronic expansion valve 14, and the first heat exchanger 18 in sequence, and flows back to the compressor 3.

[0043] 7) Battery cooling mode In the battery cooling mode, the compressor 3 is turned on, the first stop valve 7 is turned on, the first electronic expansion valve 6 is turned off, the third electronic expansion valve 14 is turned on, the second electronic expansion valve 12 is turned off, and the second stop valve 11 is turned off; the refrigerant passes through the in-vehicle condenser 4, the first stop valve 7, the out-vehicle heat exchanger 8, the third electronic expansion valve 14, the first heat exchanger 18 in sequence, and returns to the compressor 3.
