[0068] When the regulating unit 300 switches to the cooling module 310, the heat pump management system has the following situations:
[0069] 1. Pure electric mode cooling, battery passenger compartment cooling, electric drive heat dissipation
[0070] In summer, when vehicles are driving on the highway, the motors run at high loads and the electronic controls need to dissipate heat. The battery discharge temperature rises and the battery needs to be cooled. People in the passenger compartment also need cooling in summer.
[0071] The high-temperature and high-pressure coolant gas flows out from the compressor 1 to the D port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330, and is condensed and dissipated by the first condenser 2 to become a liquid at normal temperature and high pressure. It then passes through the E port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330 (switched to the cooling mode), and enters the first three-way valve 3 and is divided into two paths. One path passes through the coaxial tube 13 for the second condensation to release heat to the environment and increase the supercooling degree of the refrigerant to become a high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature. It passes through the third electronic expansion valve 16 and becomes low-pressure mist droplets. It evaporates through the battery heat exchanger 14 to absorb the heat generated by the battery and becomes a high-temperature and low-pressure gas. The third solenoid valve 17 is opened, and it passes through the gas-liquid separator 7 and returns to the compressor 1.
[0072] The other path to the first four-way valve 4 is divided into two paths. One path passes through the first electronic expansion valve 8 to become low-pressure mist droplets, and then passes through the first evaporator 5 (to cool the passenger compartment) to become high-temperature and low-pressure gas, passes through the gas-liquid separator 7, and returns to the compressor 1; the other path passes through the second electronic expansion valve 9 to become low-pressure mist droplets, opens the first solenoid valve 10, passes through the second evaporator 6 (to cool the passenger compartment) to become high-temperature and low-pressure gas, passes through the gas-liquid separator 7, and finally returns to the compressor 1.
[0073] Coolant motor side: The low-temperature coolant that flows out from the first electronic water pump 18 and dissipates the heat through the first radiator 21 passes through the electric drive and electronic control module 19 to absorb heat (dissipate heat for the electric drive and electronic control) and becomes high-temperature coolant, passes through the third four-way valve 20 (motor cooling mode), and then passes through the first radiator 21 to dissipate the coolant and become low-temperature coolant, passes through the second three-way valve 22, and finally returns to the first electronic water pump 18.
[0074] 2. Pure electric mode cooling, passenger compartment cooling, electric drive cooling
[0075] In summer, when vehicles are driving on highways, the motors run at high loads and the electronic controls need heat dissipation, and people in the passenger compartment need cooling.
[0076] The high-temperature and high-pressure coolant gas flows out of the compressor 1, reaches the D port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330, and becomes a liquid at normal temperature and high pressure after condensation and heat dissipation in the first condenser 2, and then passes through the E port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330 (switched to the cooling mode), enters the first three-way valve 3, and then flows into the first four-way valve 4 and is divided into two paths. One path passes through the first electronic expansion valve 8 and becomes a low-pressure mist droplet, and then passes through the first evaporator 5 (for cooling the passenger compartment) and becomes a high-temperature and low-pressure gas, passes through the gas-liquid separator 7, and returns to the compressor 1. The other path passes through the second electronic expansion valve 9 and becomes a low-pressure mist droplet, opens the first solenoid valve 10, and then passes through the second evaporator 6 (for cooling the passenger compartment) and becomes a high-temperature and low-pressure gas, passes through the gas-liquid separator 7, and finally returns to the compressor 1.

It then passes through the E port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330 (switched to the cooling mode), and is divided into two paths through the first three-way valve 3. One path passes through the coaxial tube 13 for the second condensation to release heat to the environment and increase the supercooling degree of the refrigerant to become a high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature, and then passes through the third electronic expansion valve 16 to become low-pressure mist droplets, and then passes through the battery heat exchanger 14 to evaporate and absorb the heat generated by the battery to become a high-temperature and low-pressure gas. The liquid passes through the first four-way valve 4 and is divided into two paths. One path passes through the first electronic expansion valve 8 and becomes low-pressure mist droplets, passes through the first evaporator 5 (to cool the passenger compartment) and becomes high-temperature and low-pressure gas, passes through the gas-liquid separator 7 and returns to the compressor 1.

[0087] 5. Battery Supercharge-Cooling
[0088] In summer, when the vehicle is out of power, the battery needs to be supercharged and cooled. People are not in the passenger compartment. The coolant is supercooled after three condensation and heat release by the second condenser 12, the first condenser 2 and the coaxial tube 13, so that the coolant can absorb more heat from the battery, ensuring the appropriate charging temperature of the battery and maintaining the charging power of the super fast charge. The battery is quickly charged to 90%
[0089] The high-temperature and high-pressure coolant gas flows out from the compressor 1, and goes to the second condenser 12 for the first condensation to release part of the heat to become a liquid at room temperature and high pressure, and then goes to the C port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330, and passes through the second condensation of the first condenser 2 to dissipate the heat and increase the supercooling degree to become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid, and then passes through the E port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330 (switched to the cooling mode), and goes through the coaxial tube 13 for the third condensation to release heat to the environment to increase the supercooling degree of the refrigerant to become a high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature, and then goes to the third electronic expansion valve 16 to become low-pressure mist droplets, and then evaporates through the battery heat exchanger 14 to absorb the large amount of heat generated by the super-fast charging of the battery to become a high-temperature and low-pressure gas, and then opens the third solenoid valve 17, passes through the gas-liquid separator 7, and returns to the compressor 1.

[0091] In summer, when a car is supercharged on a charging station for a period of time while people in the car are waiting, the passenger compartment and the battery need to be cooled at the same time.
[0092] The high-temperature and high-pressure coolant gas flows out of the compressor 1 to the D port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330, and is converted into a liquid at room temperature and high pressure by the first condensation and heat dissipation of the first condenser 2. It then passes through the E port of the two-position seven-way electronic valve 330 (switched to the cooling mode), and is divided into two paths by the first three-way valve 3. One path passes through the coaxial tube 13 for the second condensation to release heat to the environment, increase the supercooling degree of the refrigerant, and become a high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature. It then passes through the third electronic expansion valve 16 and becomes a low-pressure mist droplet.

[0098] When you stop on the highway for a short break in winter, the heat in the electric drive, electric control and passenger compartment is stored in the battery pack (the battery pack is well insulated) to prevent heat loss in the passenger compartment and electric drive. When you get back on the highway, the heat in the battery pack is taken out to heat the passenger compartment, thereby improving the vehicle's winter endurance.
[0099] The high-temperature and high-pressure coolant gas flows out of the compressor 1, opens the fourth solenoid valve 31, passes through the battery heat exchanger 14 for condensation and heating to become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid, passes through the third electronic expansion valve 16 (opened to the maximum), and goes to the coaxial tube 13 for a second condensation to increase the supercooling degree of the refrigerant to become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature. It passes through the first three-way valve 3 to the first four-way valve 4 and is divided into two paths.

[0108] 4. When the ambient temperature is greater than -10 degrees Celsius, heat the battery quickly to reach the appropriate operating temperature
[0109] When the ambient temperature is higher than -10℃ in winter, the heat pump quickly heats the battery by absorbing the heat in the air, Air PTC, engine 24 circuit and the work of compressor 1. The battery simultaneously receives the electric power consumed by compressor 1, the heat in the engine 24 circuit and the heat in the environment. The overall COP of the system is greater than 2, thereby improving the vehicle's range in winter and improving the energy efficiency ratio. The rear-mounted first condenser 2 is more conducive to heating the vehicle in winter and improving the range.

[0112] 5. The ambient temperature is greater than -10 degrees Celsius, the air heat source, the front and rear drive motor temperature is low, and the engine 24 heats the motor
[0113] When the ambient temperature is higher than -10℃ in winter, the motor temperature is too low to start. The high-temperature coolant of the engine 24 is used to heat the motor so that the motor quickly reaches a suitable operating temperature range to reduce energy consumption. The heat pump heats the passenger compartment by absorbing air and the work of the compressor 1. The passenger compartment receives the electric power consumed by the compressor 1 and the heat in the environment at the same time. The overall COP of the system is greater than 2, thereby improving the vehicle's range in winter and improving the energy efficiency ratio. The rear-mounted first condenser 2 is more conducive to heating the vehicle in winter and improving the range.

One path passes through the fourth solenoid valve 31, and is condensed and heated by the battery heat exchanger 14 to become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. It passes through the third electronic expansion valve 16 (opened to the maximum) and goes to the coaxial tube 13 for a second condensation to increase the supercooling degree of the refrigerant and become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature, and then merges into one path through the three-way pipeline.

[0116] 6. Ambient temperature greater than -10 degrees Celsius, air heat source - pure electric mode - passenger compartment heating
[0117] When the ambient temperature is higher than -10℃ in winter, the heat pump quickly heats the passenger compartment by absorbing air, the work of the compressor 1, and the heat dissipated by the motor in the environment. The passenger compartment receives the electric power consumed by the compressor 1 and the heat in the environment at the same time. The overall COP of the system is greater than 2, which improves the vehicle's endurance in winter. The first condenser 2 is arranged between the motor radiator and the engine 24 radiator. This arrangement is beneficial for the first condenser 2 to reabsorb the heat dissipated by the motor and absorb the heat in the environment when the vehicle is driving in winter, improving the heating efficiency and the endurance mileage.

The overall COP of the system is greater than 2, which improves the vehicle's endurance in winter. The first condenser 2 is arranged between the motor radiator and the engine 24 radiator. This arrangement is beneficial for the first condenser 2 to reabsorb the heat dissipated by the motor and absorb the heat in the environment when the vehicle is driving in winter, improving the heating efficiency and the endurance mileage.
[0122] The high-temperature and high-pressure coolant gas flowing out of the compressor 1 is divided into two paths through the second four-way valve 11. One path passes through the fourth solenoid valve 31, and is condensed and heated by the battery heat exchanger 14 to become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid. It passes through the third electronic expansion valve 16 (opened to the maximum) to the coaxial tube 13 for a second condensation to increase the supercooling of the refrigerant and become a low-temperature and high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature.

[0124] 8. When the ambient temperature is greater than -10 degrees Celsius, the air heat source battery is used for heating - the passenger compartment is quickly heated
[0125] When the ambient temperature is higher than -10℃ in winter, the heat pump quickly heats the passenger compartment by absorbing the heat from the air, battery, motor, heat in the engine 24 circuit, and work done by the compressor 1. The passenger compartment simultaneously receives the electric power consumed by the compressor 1, the heat in the engine 24 circuit, the heat from the motor, and the heat in the environment. The overall COP of the system is much greater than 2, thereby improving the vehicle's endurance in winter. The first condenser 2 is arranged between the motor radiator and the engine 24 radiator. This arrangement is beneficial for the first condenser 2 to reabsorb the heat dissipated by the motor and absorb the heat in the environment when the vehicle is driving in winter, improving the heating efficiency and the endurance mileage.

One path passes through the coaxial tube 13 for the second condensation to release heat to the environment and increase the supercooling degree of the refrigerant to become a high-pressure liquid with a lower temperature. After the pressure is released to the third electronic expansion valve 16 to become low-pressure mist droplets, it evaporates through the battery heat exchanger 14 to absorb the heat of the battery and become a high-temperature and low-pressure gas. The third solenoid valve 17 is opened, and it passes through the gas-liquid separator 7 and returns to the compressor. The first four-way valve 4 divides the first four-way valve 4 into two paths. One path is depressurized at the second electronic expansion valve 9 and becomes low-pressure mist droplets.

It passes through the gas-liquid separator 7 and returns to the compressor 1.
[0127] Coolant engine side: The coolant absorbs heat from the engine 24 (dissipates heat to the engine 24) and becomes high-temperature coolant, which is then divided into two paths through the thermostat 26. One path absorbs heat through the refrigerant side 231 of the cooler and becomes low-temperature coolant, which passes through the third four-way valve 20 and the fourth three-way valve 28 and finally returns to the engine 24; the other path dissipates heat through the second radiator 30 and becomes low-temperature coolant, which returns to the engine 24.

[0129] 9. The ambient temperature is greater than -10 degrees Celsius, the air heat source battery temperature is higher than 10 degrees Celsius, remote control in winter, heating of the passenger compartment
[0130] In winter, when the ambient temperature is higher than -10℃ and the battery temperature is higher than 10℃, people need to enter the car and use their mobile phones to remotely control the heating of the passenger compartment in advance. The heat pump quickly heats the passenger compartment by absorbing air, batteries, and compressor 1 to do work. The passenger compartment also receives the power consumed by compressor 1, the heat from the battery, and the environment. The overall COP of the system is much greater than 2, thereby improving the vehicle's endurance in winter.
