[0073] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the pipeline flow when the vehicle air conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air conditioning cooling mode. As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the vehicle-mounted air conditioning system of the present invention includes: an air conditioning module 1, a four-way reversing valve 5, a first heat exchanger 21, and a second heat exchanger 22. Among them, the air conditioning module 1 includes a double-effect heat exchanger 11 in which a phase-changing working medium circulates internally for heat exchange. The four-way reversing valve 5 has a first valve port 51, a second valve port 52, a third valve port 53, and a fourth valve port 54. The first valve port 51 is connected to the first port of the double-effect heat exchanger 11. The first heat exchanger 21 includes a first heat exchange flow channel and a second heat exchange flow channel for heat exchange. The first end of the first heat exchange flow channel is connected to the second valve port 52 of the four-way reversing valve 5, and the second end is connected in series with a first regulating valve 91 and then connected to the second port of the double-effect heat exchanger 11. The second heat exchange flow channel is sequentially connected in series with a second three-way node 97, a motor 7, a third heat exchanger 23, a second three-way valve 95, and a first booster pump 93 and then returns to the first port of the first heat exchanger 21. The second heat exchanger 22 includes a third heat exchange flow channel and a fourth heat exchange flow channel for heat exchange. The first end of the third heat exchange flow channel is connected to the third valve port 53 through a check valve 6. The first end of the second heat exchanger 22 is also connected to the fourth valve port 54 through a series connection of a gas-liquid separator 3 and a compressor 4. The second end of the third heat exchange flow channel is sequentially connected to a second regulating valve 92 and the second end of the first heat exchange flow channel. The fourth heat exchange flow channel is sequentially connected in series with a four-way water valve 98, a second booster pump 99, and a battery 8 and then returns to the second heat exchanger 22. The four-way water valve 98 is also respectively connected to the second three-way valve 95 and the second three-way node 97.
[0074] In a preferred embodiment, there is a first three-way node 96. The first end of the first three-way node 96 is connected to the motor 7, the second end is connected to the third heat exchanger 23, and the third end is connected to a bypass pipeline, but not limited thereto.
[0075] In a preferred embodiment, it further includes: a first three-way valve 94, which has a first inlet connected to the third heat exchanger 23, a second inlet connected to the bypass pipeline, and a first outlet, but not limited thereto.
[0076] In a preferred embodiment, the first end of the second three-way node 97 is connected to the four-way water valve 98, the second end is connected to the second port of the second heat exchange flow channel of the first heat exchanger 21, and the third end is connected to the motor 7, but not limited thereto.
[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the second three-way valve 95 has a first inlet connected to the first outlet of the first three-way valve 94, a first outlet connected in series with the first booster pump 93 and then returning to the first heat exchanger 21, and a second outlet connected to the four-way water valve 98, but not limited thereto.
[0078] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the air conditioning module in the vehicle-mounted air conditioning system of the present invention. As Figure 2As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the air conditioning module 1 includes: a housing 10, having a partitioned air intake assembly and a partitioned air outlet assembly, and forming a unique air flow channel connecting the partitioned air intake assembly and the partitioned air outlet assembly. A dual-effect heat exchanger 11 is disposed between the downstream of the partitioned air intake assembly and the upstream of the partitioned air outlet assembly. The dual-effect heat exchanger 11 includes a number of regions where the heat of the heat source can be independently adjusted. Each region has a corresponding heat exchange pipeline for the partitioned circulation of the phase-change working fluid, but not limited thereto.
[0079] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a variant example of the air conditioning module in the vehicle air conditioning system of the present invention. Refer to Figure 3 , as shown by the air conditioning device, in some applications, in the same ventilation path (such as the air flow blowing to the area above the occupant's chest), it is necessary to obtain multiple different outlet air temperatures. The dual-effect heat exchanger 11 can be partitioned, such as Figure 3 dividing the dual-effect heat exchanger in the air conditioning box into two or more regions. Each region independently corresponds to a partitioned air outlet assembly, and a control valve is added in front of each region. By adjusting the flow rate of the working fluid in the partition, the final different outlet air temperatures can be achieved, but not limited thereto.
[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the air conditioning module 1 further includes: a blower 18 for generating an air flow flowing from the partitioned air intake assembly through the dual-effect heat exchanger 11 to the partitioned air outlet assembly, but not limited thereto.
[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the air conditioning module 1 further includes: the housing 10 forms a heat exchange gas path passing through the dual-effect heat exchanger 11. An in-vehicle air inlet 13 is formed at the first end of the heat exchange gas path. An out-of-vehicle air inlet 14 is formed at the first end of the heat exchange gas path. A first air outlet region 15 is formed at the second end of the heat exchange gas path. A second air outlet region 16 is formed at the second end of the heat exchange gas path. A third air outlet region 17 is formed at the second end of the heat exchange gas path, but not limited thereto.
[0082] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, the present invention uses the dual-effect heat exchanger 11 with an internally circulated phase-change working fluid (such as R134a) to replace the single or combined cold and heat sources among the evaporator, the heater core, and the condenser. During refrigeration, the phase-change working fluid with a lower pressure circulates inside the dual-effect heat exchanger 11 as a cold source to lower the temperature of the flowing air. During heating, the phase-change working fluid with a higher pressure circulates inside the dual-effect heat exchanger 11 as a heat source to raise the temperature of the flowing air. Because there is only one dual-effect heat exchanger 11, the air flow can directly reach the target temperature through the change of the pressure and flow rate of the phase-change working fluid therein, without mixing hot air for heating as in the traditional automotive air conditioning module. Therefore, there is no need for a temperature damper in the air conditioning module of the present invention to control the air volume entering the heat source for mixed-air heating.
[0083] A relevant heat pump system is designed for the automotive air conditioning device, which altogether includes seven working states:
[0084] (1) Operating in the air conditioning cooling mode;
[0085] (2) Operating in the battery cooling mode;
[0086] (3) Operating in the air conditioning cooling and battery cooling modes;
[0087] (4) Operating in the air conditioning heating mode;
[0088] (5) Operating in the air conditioning heating and battery cooling modes;
[0089] (6) Operating in the battery heat dissipation mode;
[0090] (7) Operating in the motor heating battery mode;
[0091] The following will introduce the above seven working modes respectively through Figures Figure 1 、 4 、5, 6, 7, 8, 9. (The straight pipelines in Figures Figure 1 、 4 、5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are the pipelines through which the refrigerant flows in this state; the dashed pipelines are the pipelines that are cut off in this state and the refrigerant does not flow)
[0092] Continue to refer to Figure 1, the first regulating valve 91 is turned on; the second regulating valve 92 is turned off; the first three-way valve 94 only conducts the gas-liquid separator 3 and the second three-way valve 95; the second three-way valve 95 only conducts the first three-way valve 94 and the first booster pump 93. The first heat exchanger 21, the third heat exchanger 23, and the double-effect heat exchanger 11 all work to cool the vehicle interior; the second heat exchanger 22 does not work. At this time, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air-conditioning cooling mode. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 4 flows into the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) to condense and release heat, achieving the effect of heating the coolant on the other side of the heat exchanger. The condensed refrigerant is throttled by the first regulating valve 91 and evaporates and absorbs heat in the double-effect heat exchanger 11, thereby realizing the cooling function of the air-conditioning box. Then it flows through the gas-liquid separator 3 to ensure that all the refrigerant flowing out is gas, and finally returns to the suction port of the compressor 4 to start the next cycle. In this mode, only the high-temperature coolant part exists in the coolant circuit. The high-temperature coolant circuit is mainly responsible for taking away the heat released by the condensation of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) and the heat released by the drive motor 7, and releasing the heat to the external environment through the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator). In the high-temperature coolant circuit, the coolant cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) reaches the inlet of the first booster pump 93 through two three-way water valves, is sent to the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) by the water pump to absorb the condensation heat released by the refrigerant on the other side, and the temperature-risen coolant reaches the inlet of the motor 7 (EDU) to absorb the heat dissipated by the motor 7 and further increase in temperature. The high-temperature coolant flows out of the motor 7 and starts the next cycle after being cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator).
[0093] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the pipeline flow when the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the battery cooling mode. Refer to Figure 4, the first regulating valve 91 is closed; the second regulating valve 92 is opened; the first three-way valve 94 only conducts the gas-liquid separator 3 and the second three-way valve 95; the second three-way valve 95 only conducts the first three-way valve 94 and the first booster pump 93. The first heat exchanger 21, the second heat exchanger 22, and the third heat exchanger 23 all work to cool the battery. The double-effect heat exchanger 11 does not work. At this time, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the battery cooling mode. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 4 flows into the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) to condense and release heat, achieving the effect of heating the coolant on the other side of the heat exchanger. The condensed refrigerant is throttled by the second regulating valve 92 and evaporates and absorbs heat in the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) to achieve the effect of cooling the coolant on the other side of the heat exchanger. Then it flows through the gas-liquid separator 3 to ensure that all the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator is gas, and finally returns to the suction port of the compressor 4 to start the next cycle, thereby realizing the battery 8 cooling function. In this mode, the coolant circuit can be divided into two parts: high temperature and low temperature according to the coolant temperature. The high-temperature coolant circuit is mainly responsible for taking away the heat released by the condensation of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) and the heat released by the drive motor 7, and releasing the heat through the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator). The low-temperature coolant circuit is mainly responsible for transporting the coolant cooled by the second heat exchanger 22 to the battery 8 to achieve the effect of cooling the battery 8. In the high-temperature coolant circuit, the coolant cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) passes through two three-way water valves and reaches the inlet of the first booster pump 93, and is sent to the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) by the water pump to absorb the condensation heat released by the refrigerant on the other side. The heated coolant reaches the inlet of the motor 7, and the coolant absorbs the heat dissipated by the motor 7 and further increases in temperature. The high-temperature coolant flows out of the motor 7 and starts the next cycle after being cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator). In the low-temperature coolant circuit, the coolant of the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) is cooled by the refrigerant on the other side, flows through the four-way water valve 98, reaches the inlet of the second booster pump 99, and is sent to the battery 8 (Bat) by the water pump, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the battery 8. The coolant after absorbing heat returns to the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) to start the next cycle, but not limited thereto.
[0094] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the pipeline flow when the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air-conditioning refrigeration and battery cooling modes. Refer to Figure 5, the first regulating valve 91 is turned on; the second regulating valve 92 is turned on; the first three-way valve 94 is only turned on to connect the gas-liquid separator 3 and the second three-way valve 95; the second three-way valve 95 is only turned on to connect the first three-way valve 94 and the first booster pump 93. The first heat exchanger 21, the second heat exchanger 22, the third heat exchanger 23, and the double-effect heat exchanger 11 all work to cool the vehicle interior and cool the battery. At this time, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air-conditioning refrigeration and battery cooling mode. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 4 flows into the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) to condense and release heat, achieving the effect of heating the coolant on the other side of the heat exchanger. The condensed refrigerant is throttled by the first regulating valve 91 and 2, absorbs heat in the double-effect heat exchanger 11 and the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler), achieving the effects of cooling the passenger compartment and cooling the battery 8. Then it flows through the gas-liquid separator 3 to ensure that all the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator is gas, and finally returns to the suction port of the compressor 4 to start the next cycle, thus realizing the cooling function of the air-conditioning box and the cooling of the battery 8. In this mode, the coolant circuit can be divided into two parts: high temperature and low temperature according to the coolant temperature. Among them, the high-temperature coolant circuit is mainly responsible for taking away the heat released by the condensation of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) and the heat released by the drive motor 7, and releasing heat through the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator); the low-temperature coolant circuit is mainly responsible for transporting the coolant cooled by the second heat exchanger 22 to the battery 8 to achieve the effect of cooling the battery 8. In the high-temperature coolant circuit, the coolant cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) passes through two three-way water valves and reaches the inlet of the first booster pump 93, and is sent to the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled condenser) by the water pump to absorb the condensation heat released by the refrigerant on the other side. The heated coolant reaches the inlet of the motor 7, and the coolant absorbs the heat dissipated by the motor 7 and further rises in temperature. The high-temperature coolant flows out of the motor 7 and starts the next cycle after being cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator). In the low-temperature coolant circuit, the coolant of the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) is cooled by the refrigerant on the other side, flows through the four-way water valve 98, reaches the inlet of the second booster pump 99, and is sent to the battery 8 by the water pump, thus achieving the effect of cooling the battery 8. The coolant after absorbing heat returns to the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) to start the next cycle, but not limited to this.
[0095] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the pipeline flow when the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air-conditioning heating mode. Refer to Figure 6, the first regulating valve 91 is turned on; the second regulating valve 92 is turned off; the first three-way valve 94 is only turned on to the gas-liquid separator 3 and the second three-way valve 95; the second three-way valve 95 is only turned on to the first three-way valve 94 and the first booster pump 93. The first heat exchanger 21, the third heat exchanger 23, and the double-effect heat exchanger 11 all work to heat the interior of the vehicle; the second heat exchanger 22 does not work. At this time, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air-conditioning heating mode. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 4 flows into the double-effect heat exchanger 11 to release heat, achieving the function of air-conditioning heating. The condensed refrigerant is throttled by the first regulating valve 91 and evaporated and absorbs heat through the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled evaporator), achieving the effect of cooling the coolant on the other side of the heat exchanger. Then it flows through the gas-liquid separator 3 to ensure that all the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator is gas, and finally returns to the suction port of the compressor 4 to start the next cycle, thus realizing the air-conditioning heating function. In this mode, only the low-temperature (drive motor 7) coolant part exists in the coolant circuit. The low-temperature (drive motor 7) coolant circuit is mainly responsible for absorbing heat from the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled evaporator) and the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) from the coolant circuit / ambient air, completing the heat recovery of the motor 7 and the ambient air, and at the same time achieving the effect of cooling the drive motor 7. In the low-temperature (drive motor 7) coolant circuit, the coolant cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) passes through two three-way water valves and reaches the inlet of the first booster pump 93, and is sent to the first heat exchanger 21 (which acts as a water-cooled evaporator at this time) by the water pump to absorb the refrigeration capacity released by the refrigerant on the other side. The coolant after further cooling reaches the inlet of the motor 7. After the coolant absorbs the heat dissipated by the motor 7 and warms up, it flows out of the motor 7 and starts the next cycle after being cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator), but not limited to this.
[0096] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the pipeline flow when the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air-conditioning heating and battery cooling modes. Continue to refer to Figure 7, the first regulating valve 91 is turned on; the second regulating valve 92 is turned on; the first three-way valve 94 is only turned on to connect the gas-liquid separator 3 and the second three-way valve 95; the second three-way valve 95 is only turned on to connect the first three-way valve 94 and the first booster pump 93; the first heat exchanger 21, the second heat exchanger 22, the third heat exchanger 23, and the double-effect heat exchanger 11 all work to heat the vehicle interior and cool the battery. At this time, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the air-conditioning heating and battery cooling mode. At this time, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 4 flows into the double-effect heat exchanger 11 to release heat, realizing the function of air-conditioning heating. The condensed refrigerant is throttled by the first regulating valve 91 and evaporates and absorbs heat in the first heat exchanger 21 (battery 8 cooler), achieving the effect of cooling the coolant on the other side of the heat exchanger; the condensed refrigerant is throttled by the second regulating valve 92 and evaporates and absorbs heat in the second heat exchanger 22 (water-cooled evaporator), achieving the effect of cooling the coolant on the other side of the heat exchanger. Then it flows through the gas-liquid separator 3 to ensure that all the refrigerant flowing into the evaporator is gas, and finally returns to the suction port of the compressor 4 to start the next cycle, thus realizing the air-conditioning heating function. In this mode, the coolant circuit is divided into two parts: the low-temperature (drive motor 7) coolant circuit and the low-temperature (battery 8) coolant circuit. Among them, the low-temperature (drive motor 7) circuit is mainly responsible for taking away the cooling capacity released by the evaporation of the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 21 (water-cooled evaporator) to cool the drive motor 7 and further release heat through the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator); the low-temperature (battery 8) coolant circuit is mainly responsible for transporting the coolant cooled by the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) to the battery 8 to achieve the effect of cooling the battery 8. In the low-temperature (drive motor 7) coolant circuit, the coolant cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) passes through two three-way water valves and reaches the inlet of the first booster pump 93, and is sent into the first heat exchanger 21 (which acts as a water-cooled evaporator at this time) by the water pump to absorb the cooling capacity released by the refrigerant on the other side. The coolant after further cooling reaches the inlet of the motor 7. After the coolant absorbs the heat dissipated by the motor 7 and warms up, it flows out of the motor 7 and starts the next cycle after being cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator). In the low-temperature (battery 8) coolant circuit, the coolant of the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) is cooled by the refrigerant on the other side, flows through the four-way water valve 98, reaches the inlet of the second booster pump 99, and is sent into the battery 8 by the water pump, thus achieving the effect of cooling the battery 8. The coolant after absorbing heat returns to the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) to start the next cycle, but not limited to this.
[0097] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the pipeline flow when the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the battery heat dissipation mode. Continue to refer to Figure 8, the first regulating valve 91 is closed; the second regulating valve 92 is closed; the first three-way valve 94 only conducts the gas-liquid separator 3 and the second three-way valve 95; the second three-way valve 95 only conducts the first three-way valve 9 and the four-way water valve 98; the second heat exchanger 22 and the third heat exchanger 23 are both working, only for the battery heat dissipation mode, and the first heat exchanger 21 and the double-effect heat exchanger 11 are not working. At this time, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the battery heat dissipation mode. At this time, in this mode, the entire coolant circuit is connected in series, and the entire coolant circuit relies on the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) to release heat to the external environment, achieving the effects of cooling the drive motor 7 and the battery 8. In the coolant circuit, the coolant cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator) passes through two three-way water valves and a four-way valve to reach the inlet of the second booster pump 99, and is sent into the battery 8 by the second booster pump 99, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the battery 8. Then, it passes through the second heat exchanger 22 (battery 8 cooler) and reaches the inlet of the motor 7. The coolant absorbs the heat dissipated by the motor 7 again and heats up. The coolant flows out of the motor 7, is cooled by the third heat exchanger 23 (radiator), and then starts the next cycle, but not limited to this.
[0098] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the pipeline flow when the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the motor heating battery mode. Continue to refer to Figure 9 , the first regulating valve 91 is closed; the second regulating valve 92 is closed; the first three-way valve 94 conducts the first three-way node 96 and the second three-way valve 95; the second heat exchanger 22 is working, the motor heats the battery, and the first heat exchanger 21, the third heat exchanger 23, and the double-effect heat exchanger 11 are all not working. At this time, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning system of the present invention operates in the motor heating battery mode. At this time, in this mode, the entire coolant circuit is connected in series, without distinguishing between the high-temperature and low-temperature coolant circuits. The entire coolant circuit heats the battery 8 with the heat obtained from the drive motor 7, achieving the effects of cooling the drive motor 7 and heating the battery 8. In the coolant circuit, the high-temperature coolant flowing out of the drive motor 7 passes through two three-way water valves (the third heat exchanger 23 is in a bypass state) and a four-way valve to reach the inlet of the second booster pump 99, and is sent into the battery 8 by the second booster pump 99, thereby achieving the effect of heating the battery 8. Then, it passes through the second heat exchanger 22 (water-cooled evaporator) and reaches the inlet of the motor 7. The coolant absorbs the heat dissipated by the motor 7 again and heats up. The coolant flows out of the motor 7 and starts the next cycle, but not limited to this.
