[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerant circuit further includes a bypass electronic expansion valve 106, and the third end of the water-cooled evaporator 101 is connected to the first end of the water-cooled condenser 104 through the bypass electronic expansion valve 106. By setting the bypass electronic expansion valve 106, it can be used together with the main electronic expansion valve 105 in an extremely low temperature environment (below minus 30°C), further improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0044] In the refrigerant circuit, the low-temperature and low-pressure R290 working fluid gas is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas by the compressor 103, and is divided into two paths. One path leads to the water-cooled condenser 104 for heating, and the other path passes through the bypass circuit where the bypass electronic expansion valve 106 is located, and is directly connected to the exhaust pipe and the intake pipe of the compressor 103, thereby realizing the electric power heating of the compressor 103.

The first interface of the first three-way proportional valve 203 is connected to the PTC heater 202 through the PTC heater 202. The first end of the water-cooled evaporator 101 is connected to the first end of the water-cooled evaporator 101, and its second interface is connected to the first interface of the first four-way valve 216; the first interface of the second three-way proportional valve 204 is connected to the third end of the water-cooled condenser 104, and its second interface is connected to the second interface of the first four-way valve 216; the first interface of the fifth water channel tee 215 is connected to the second end of the water-cooled evaporator 101 through the low-pressure side water pump 201, and its second interface is connected to the second interface of the second four-way valve 217; the first interface of the first water channel tee 208 is connected to the third end of the water-cooled condenser 104 through the high-pressure side water pump 218 The fourth end of the water-cooled condenser 104, and its second interface is connected to the first interface of the second four-way valve 217; the first interface of the first three-way valve 205 is connected to the third interface of the second three-way proportional valve 204, and its second interface is connected to the first interface of the second water circuit tee 209; the third interface of the first three-way valve 205 is connected to the third interface of the third water circuit tee 211; one end of the warm air core 206 is connected to the second interface of the second water circuit tee 209, and the other end is connected to the first interface of the second three-way valve 207; the The second interface is connected to the third interface of the first water circuit tee 208, and its third interface is connected to the third interface of the fourth water circuit tee 214; the first interface of the third water circuit tee 211 is connected to the third interface of the first three-way proportional valve 203, and its second interface is connected to one end of the cold air core 212; the first interface of the third three-way valve 213 is connected to the other end of the cold air core 212, and its second interface is connected to the first interface of the fourth water circuit tee 214; the second interface of the fourth water circuit tee 214 is connected to the third interface of the fifth water circuit tee 215. Placing the PTC heater 202 on the passenger compartment water circuit where the low-pressure water-cooled evaporator 101 is located as a driving heat source to provide heat indirectly can not only effectively utilize the low temperature environment to improve the heating efficiency, but also simplify the system structure and reduce costs, while avoiding the influence of traditional heating methods on system performance.
[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the passenger compartment water circuit also includes a stop valve 210, a first interface of the stop valve 210 is connected to the third interface of the second water circuit tee 209, and a second interface thereof is connected to the third interface of the third three-way valve 213. The series connection of the warm air core 206 and the cold air core 212 is achieved through the stop valve 210, which optimizes the heat exchange process, increases the heat exchange area, improves the heat exchange efficiency, reduces energy loss, and ensures the comfort of the temperature inside the vehicle and the response speed of the system.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the battery water circuit includes a battery water pump 301, a battery cold liquid plate 302, a third proportional valve 303 and a sixth water channel tee 304.

The battery water circuit realizes the self-circulation of battery mixed water, so that the battery is always maintained at the working temperature, and the battery temperature can be quickly increased in an extremely low temperature environment, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the battery and extending the service life of the battery. When working, cold water flows out of the fourth interface of the first four-way valve 216, and hot water flows out of the third interface of the third proportional valve 303. The cold water and hot water are mixed in the sixth water channel tee 304, and then flow out from the third interface of the sixth water channel tee 304 for heat exchange with the battery.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the motor water circuit includes a water tank 401, a motor 402, an on-board charger 403, a fourth three-way valve 404, a low-pressure radiator 405, a low-pressure fan 406 and a seventh water channel tee 407.

At the same time, it improves the heat exchange efficiency of the system in an extremely low temperature environment, reduces the demand for external heat sources, and further reduces energy consumption.
[0049] Specifically, the waste heat of the motor is transferred to the battery through the motor water circuit and the battery water circuit, thereby heating the battery or maintaining its operating temperature; the waste heat of the motor is transferred to the coolant in the water circuit where the low-temperature water-cooled evaporator 101 is located through the heat exchanger. After the coolant is heated, the low-pressure side pressure of the water circuit where the low-temperature water-cooled evaporator 101 is located can be increased, and the higher low-pressure pressure can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the entire system, thereby helping to improve the circulation efficiency of the R290 working fluid in the water circuit where the low-temperature water-cooled evaporator 101 is located.
