By controlling the flow of the heat exchange medium in different battery heat exchange parts, the temperature of each part of the battery can be adjusted to achieve the temperature equalization effect. The first heat exchanger and the heater can be selectively connected into the battery temperature control module as a cold source and a heat source respectively. The heat exchange medium (at this time, the temperature of the heat exchange medium is relatively low) after heat dissipation by the first heat exchanger can selectively flow into at least one of the plurality of battery heat exchange parts to absorb the heat of the battery to cool the battery; the heat exchange medium (at this time, the temperature of the heat exchange medium is relatively high) after being heated by the heater can selectively flow into at least one of the plurality of battery heat exchange parts to release heat to heat the battery, heating or cooling the heat exchange medium in the battery heat exchange part, so that the heating and cooling processes of the battery can be flexibly adjusted and precisely controlled, reducing the temperature difference between different parts of the battery. At the same time, the flow path of each battery heat exchange part is shortened, the flow resistance is reduced, the pressure drop of the heat exchange medium at the inlet and outlet is significantly reduced, and the temperature drop is reduced, further reducing the battery temperature difference and improving the overall performance of the battery.

Detailed implementation manners

[0111] The following detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present disclosure is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0112] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the orientation terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the drawing directions of the corresponding drawings, and "upstream" and "downstream" refer to the flow direction of the heat exchange medium. The terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish different components, and do not have a sequential or important meaning. In addition, in the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0113] In the related embodiments of the present disclosure, to achieve heating and cooling of the battery system, as Figure 1 shown, the new energy vehicle battery thermal management system includes a compressor 14, a commutating valve 15, a passenger compartment air conditioning system heat exchanger, a plate heat exchanger, a first electronic expansion valve 16, a second electronic expansion valve 17, an expansion valve 18, an environment heat exchanger 13, a water pump, a battery system heat exchanger 10, a heater, and a three-way valve.

[0114] As Figure 1aAs shown in the figure, by adjusting the reversing valve 15, the automotive air conditioning system is adjusted to the refrigeration mode, and the refrigerant cycle is as follows: The gaseous low-pressure refrigerant is converted into gaseous high-pressure refrigerant by the compressor 14, and then releases heat through the ambient heat exchanger 13 and is converted into liquid high-pressure refrigerant. The liquid high-pressure refrigerant is converted into liquid low-pressure refrigerant through the expansion valve 18 and then divided into two parallel paths, which respectively pass through the passenger compartment air conditioning system heat exchanger and the plate heat exchanger to absorb heat and be converted into gaseous low-pressure refrigerant. The flow rates of the two paths of refrigerant are jointly controlled by the first electronic expansion valve 16 and the second electronic expansion valve 17. Then the two paths of gaseous low-pressure refrigerant are combined and return to the compressor 14 through the reversing valve 15. In the liquid cooling mode, the heat exchange medium cycle is as follows: The heat exchange medium circulates in the cooling loop composed of the water pump, the plate heat exchanger, and the battery system heat exchanger under the driving action of the water pump. The heat exchange medium releases heat through the plate heat exchanger to reach a certain temperature. At this time, the liquid low-pressure refrigerant flows in the plate heat exchanger, and then can absorb the heat of the battery when passing through the battery system heat exchanger, completing the cooling of the battery system.

[0115] As Figure 1b shown, the first electronic expansion valve 16 is closed, and the air conditioning system and the liquid heat system are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. In the liquid heat mode, the heat exchange medium cycle is as follows: The heat exchange medium circulates in the heating loop composed of the water pump, the heater, and the battery system heat exchanger under the driving action of the water pump. The heat exchange medium absorbs heat through the heater to reach a certain temperature, and then releases heat when passing through the battery system heat exchanger, completing the heating of the battery system.

[0116] For the air conditioning system, by changing the reversing valve 15, the air conditioning system is adjusted to the heating mode. The gaseous low-pressure refrigerant is converted into gaseous high-pressure refrigerant by the compressor 14, and first releases heat through the passenger compartment air conditioning system heat exchanger (equivalent to a condenser) and is converted into liquid high-pressure refrigerant, completing the heating of the passenger compartment. The liquid high-pressure refrigerant is converted into liquid low-pressure refrigerant through the second electronic expansion valve 17 and the expansion valve 18, and then absorbs heat through the ambient heat exchanger (equivalent to an evaporator) and is converted into gaseous low-pressure refrigerant, and returns to the compressor 14 through the reversing valve 15.

[0117] In the above embodiments, it is impossible to heat or cool each part of the battery according to different environments and different working conditions, and it is impossible to meet the heat and cold load requirements of different battery parts, resulting in a large temperature difference between different parts of the battery. And the flow path of the battery system heat exchanger is long and the flow resistance is large, resulting in a large pressure drop and temperature drop at the inlet and outlet positions of the heat exchange medium, which is not conducive to controlling the temperature difference of the battery and affects the overall performance of the battery.

[0118] To solve the above problems, as Figures 2 to 6As shown in the figure, the present disclosure provides a battery thermal management system. The battery thermal management system includes a heat exchange module 1 and a battery temperature control module 2 (shown within the dashed box). The heat exchange module 1 has a first heat exchanger 11 serving as a cold source. The first heat exchanger 11 and a heater 23 serving as a heat source can be selectively connected to the battery temperature control module 2. When the first heat exchanger 11 is connected to the battery temperature control module 2, the battery is cooled. When the first heat exchanger 11 is not connected to the battery temperature control module 2 but the heater 23 is connected, the battery is heated. The battery temperature control module 2 includes a power component 24 and multiple battery heat exchange parts. The power component 24 can be a water pump, and the multiple battery heat exchange parts can be selectively connected to the heat exchange medium circulation of the battery temperature control module 2.

[0119] In the battery thermal management system provided by the present disclosure, the multiple battery heat exchange parts respectively correspond to different parts of the battery. The multiple battery heat exchange parts are independent of each other, and the flow rate and flow time of the heat exchange medium in each battery heat exchange part can be controlled separately. By controlling the flow conditions of the heat exchange medium in different battery heat exchange parts, the temperatures of different parts of the battery can be adjusted to achieve a temperature equalization effect. The first heat exchanger 11 and the heater 23 can be selectively connected to the battery temperature control module 2 as a cold source and a heat source respectively. The heat exchange medium (at this time, the temperature of the heat exchange medium is relatively low) after dissipating heat through the first heat exchanger 11 can selectively flow into at least one of the multiple battery heat exchange parts to absorb the heat of the battery to cool the battery; the heat exchange medium (at this time, the temperature of the heat exchange medium is relatively high) after being heated by the heater 23 can selectively flow into at least one of the multiple battery heat exchange parts to release heat to heat the battery. The multiple battery heat exchange parts can cool or heat the battery simultaneously, separately, or alternately, so that the heating and cooling processes of the battery can be flexibly adjusted and precisely controlled, reducing the temperature difference between different parts of the battery. At the same time, the flow path of each battery heat exchange part is shortened, the flow resistance is reduced, the pressure drop of the heat exchange medium at the inlet and outlet is significantly reduced, and the temperature drop is reduced, further reducing the battery temperature difference and improving the overall performance of the battery.

[0120] There can be various ways to arrange the multiple battery heat exchange parts. In the following, an example of arranging two battery heat exchange parts will be introduced in detail. Of course, the number of battery heat exchange parts can also be increased according to needs. The present disclosure includes an embodiment in which multiple flow paths on a battery heat exchanger are divided into two independent flow path areas, and also includes an embodiment in which two independent battery heat exchangers are provided.

[0121] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 6As shown, the battery temperature control module 2 includes a battery heat exchanger, and the multiple flow channels of the battery heat exchanger are divided into a first flow channel area 201 and a second flow channel area 202 that are independent of each other. The first flow channel area 201 forms a first battery heat exchange part, and the second flow channel area 202 forms a second battery heat exchange part. The first flow channel area 201 and the second flow channel area 202 are respectively provided with corresponding heat exchange medium inlets and outlets. The first flow channel area 201 has a first inlet 2011 and a first outlet 2012, and the second flow channel area 202 has a second inlet 2021 and a second outlet 2022. The inlet and the outlet are arranged on the same side of the liquid cooling plate. The multiple flow channels connected to the inlet and the multiple flow channels connected to the outlet are interconnected on the side opposite to the inlet and the outlet. In this way, the heat exchange medium flowing in from the inlet flows through the flow channel, and flows out from the outlet after converging on the side opposite to the inlet and the outlet to form a ring flow path. The flow rates of the first flow channel area 201 and the second flow channel area 202 can be different and can be controlled separately.

[0122] In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery temperature control module 2 includes a first battery heat exchanger 21 and a second battery heat exchanger 22, wherein the first battery heat exchanger 21 is formed as a first battery heat exchange unit, and the second battery heat exchanger 22 is formed as a second battery heat exchange unit. The two battery heat exchangers are independent of each other and can be controlled separately, and this embodiment will be described in detail below. The structures of the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 can be the same or different, and can be selected and designed as needed.

[0123] In this disclosure, Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 are connected in parallel, and can be turned on separately (only one of them is used), or turned on at the same time (in parallel), or can be turned on alternately (the two battery heat exchangers are not turned on at the same time, and the time periods of turning on are inconsistent). Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, through the design of pipes and valves, the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 can be selectively connected in parallel or in series. Compared with the parallel embodiment, when turned on at the same time, the two battery heat exchangers can be connected in parallel or in series, first flowing into the first battery heat exchanger 21 and then flowing through the second battery heat exchanger 22. Appropriate selection can be made according to the needs of different environments and working conditions.

[0124] In this disclosure, Figure 2 and Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, there is one heater 23 (arranged on the main path), and the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 share the heater 23. The heater 23 is selectively connected to the battery temperature control module 2 (only connected in the liquid heating mode, and short-circuited in the liquid cooling mode). In Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the battery thermal management system includes a first heater 231 and a second heater 232 (arranged on the branch paths). The first heater 231 and the second heater 232 can be selectively connected to the battery temperature control module 2 to heat the heat exchange medium flowing into the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 respectively. In the form of double heaters, heaters are respectively arranged for the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22, and the number of heaters can be designed according to the number of battery heat exchangers.

[0125] In Figure 6 In Embodiment 5 shown, the battery thermal management system includes a first heater 231 and a second heater 232 arranged on the branch paths, and also includes a third heater 233 arranged on the main path. The third heater 233 can be in parallel or in series (in the series embodiment, in the liquid cooling mode, the third heater 233 only allows fluid to pass through without heating). By arranging heaters on the main path and the branch paths respectively, the heating power of the heat exchange medium can be adjusted, and any one of the heaters can be used as a backup to ensure the heating effect on the heat exchange medium. In Embodiment 5, the heaters on the main path and the branch paths can be connected simultaneously or separately. Taking the simultaneous connection of the third heater 233 on the main path and the first heater 231 on the branch paths as an example, the valve arrangement and opening / closing control method are similar to those when connected separately. The arrangement method of the pipeline and valves in Embodiment 1 can be adopted, or the arrangement method of the pipeline and valves in Embodiment 3 can be adopted, both of which fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0126] In the present disclosure, the battery assembly may have a first temperature zone and a second temperature zone. The first battery heat exchange part exchanges heat corresponding to the first temperature zone, and the second battery heat exchange part exchanges heat corresponding to the second temperature zone. This embodiment realizes the heat exchange of different regions of the battery assembly through the first battery heat exchange part and the second battery heat exchange part to improve the temperature uniformity of the battery assembly and the flexibility and convenience of battery temperature regulation. Of course, the number of battery heat exchange parts can be designed according to the number and position of the temperature zones on the battery assembly, not limited to two.

[0127] Four embodiments will be introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0128] Example 1 (The first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 are in parallel and share a heater 23)

[0129] As Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 are connected in parallel. A first valve 211 is provided on the parallel branch where the first battery heat exchanger 21 is located, and a second valve 221 is provided on the parallel branch where the second battery heat exchanger 22 is located. The first heat exchanger 11 and the heater 23 are arranged on the main path upstream of the diversion port A (in terms of the flow direction of the heat exchange medium that is dissipated by the first heat exchanger 11 and then flows into multiple battery heat exchange parts and returns to the first heat exchanger 11 through the power component 24) and are connected in parallel through a first three-way valve 261. By controlling the first valve 211, it is controlled whether the first battery heat exchanger 21 is turned on. By controlling the second valve 221, it is controlled whether the second battery heat exchanger 22 is turned on. The two can be controlled separately and independently. The first valve 211, the second valve 221, and multiple valves to be introduced below can all be electric valves.

[0130] In this embodiment, the heater 23 is connected in parallel with the first heat exchanger 11 through the first three-way valve 261. By controlling the first three-way valve 261, it can be switched between the liquid cooling and liquid heating modes. By controlling the first three-way valve 261, when the first heat exchanger 11 and the power component 24 are connected, the first circulation loop is carried out, which is the cooling loop to cool the battery. When the heater 23 and the power component 24 are connected, the second circulation loop is carried out to heat the battery.

[0131] In Embodiment 1, the liquid cooling mode of this battery thermal management system is one of the following working modes:

[0132] The first liquid cooling mode, as Figure 2a shown, the first three-way valve 261 connects the first heat exchanger 11 and the power component 24, the first valve 211 is opened, the second valve 221 is closed, and the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the first heat exchanger 11 and the first battery heat exchanger 21;

[0133] The second liquid cooling mode, as Figure 2b shown, the first three-way valve 261 connects the first heat exchanger 11 and the power component 24, the first valve 211 is closed, the second valve 221 is opened, and the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the first heat exchanger 11 and the second battery heat exchanger 22;

[0134] The third liquid cooling mode, as Figure 2c shown, the first three-way valve 261 connects the first heat exchanger 11 and the power component 24, the first valve 211 is opened, the second valve 221 is opened, and the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the first heat exchanger 11 and then is divided into two paths, flowing through the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 simultaneously;

[0135] Fourth liquid cooling mode: The first three-way valve 261 connects the first heat exchanger 11 and the power component 24. The first valve 211 is opened within the first preset time period, and the second valve 221 is opened within the second preset time period. Within the first preset time period, the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the first heat exchanger 11 and the first battery heat exchanger 21. Within the second preset time period, the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the first heat exchanger 11 and the second battery heat exchanger 22. That is, the first liquid cooling mode is executed within the first preset time period, the second liquid cooling mode is executed within the second preset time period, and the first liquid cooling mode and the second liquid cooling mode are executed alternately.

[0136] The first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 can be selected according to needs to cool the battery separately, simultaneously, or alternately.

[0137] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the liquid heat mode of the battery thermal management system is one of the following working modes:

[0138] First liquid heat mode, as Figure 2d shown, the first three-way valve 261 connects the heater 23 and the power component 24. The heater 23 heats up, the first valve 211 is opened, and the second valve 221 is closed. The power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the heater 23 and the first battery heat exchanger 21.

[0139] Second liquid heat mode, as Figure 2e shown, the first three-way valve 261 connects the heater 23 and the power component 24. The heater 23 heats up, the first valve 211 is closed, and the second valve 221 is opened. The power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the heater 23 and the second battery heat exchanger 22.

[0140] Third liquid heat mode, as Figure 2f shown, the first three-way valve 261 connects the heater 23 and the power component 24. The heater 23 heats up, the first valve 211 is opened, and the second valve 221 is opened. The power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the heater 23 and then divides into two paths to flow through the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 simultaneously.

[0141] Fourth liquid heat mode: The first three-way valve 261 connects the heater 23 and the power component 24. The heater 23 heats up, the first valve 211 is opened within the first preset time period, and the second valve 221 is opened within the second preset time period. Within the first preset time period, the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the heater 23 and the first battery heat exchanger 21. Within the first preset time period, the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the heater 23 and the second battery heat exchanger 22. That is, the first liquid heat mode is executed within the first preset time period, the second liquid heat mode is executed within the second preset time period, and the first liquid heat mode and the second liquid heat mode are executed alternately.

[0142] The first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 can be selected according to needs to heat the battery separately, simultaneously or alternately.

[0143] In this embodiment, the battery thermal management system also has one of the following working modes:

[0144] Equal temperature mode, as Figure 2g shown, the first three-way valve 261 connects the heater 23 and the power component 24, the heater 23 turns off heating, the first valve 211 opens, the second valve 221 opens, and the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow between the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22; in this mode, neither the first heat exchanger 11 nor the heater 23 is connected to the battery temperature control module 2, and the heat exchange medium circulates between multiple battery heat exchange parts to play an equal temperature role.

[0145] Energy-saving mode, according to the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22, control the opening and closing of the first valve 211 and the second valve 221. When the temperature of the heat exchange medium is greater than the preset threshold, open the corresponding valve. The first three-way valve 261 connects the heater 23 and the power component 24, the heater 23 turns off heating, and the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow in the first battery heat exchanger 21 or the second battery heat exchanger 22. Taking the fast charging process of a blade battery as an example, the temperatures on both sides rise, and the temperature in the middle area rises slowly. At this time, the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the battery heat exchange part corresponding to the middle area (for example, the first battery heat exchanger 21) is lower than the preset threshold, the first valve 211 closes, and the heat exchange medium in the first battery heat exchanger 21 does not flow. Only when the temperature of the heat exchange medium reaches the preset threshold, the heat exchange medium inside it circulates, which can reduce the power requirement of the power component 24, reduce energy consumption, and play an energy-saving role.

[0146] Example 2 (The first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 are in parallel and each is provided with a heater)

[0147] On the basis of Embodiment 1, in Embodiment 2, heaters are separately arranged for the two battery heat exchangers, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the battery thermal management system includes a first heater 231 and a second heater 232. The first heater 231 is connected in parallel with the pipeline provided with the first battery heat exchanger 21 through a second three-way valve 262, and the second heater 232 is connected in parallel with the pipeline of the second battery heat exchanger 22 through a third three-way valve 263. The first heater 231 is arranged between the shunt inlet of the parallel branch where the first battery heat exchanger 21 is located and the first battery heat exchanger 21. When the upper and lower interfaces of the second three-way valve 262 are connected, the first heater 231 is short-circuited, which is the liquid cooling mode. When the upper interface and the side interface of the second three-way valve 262 are connected, the first heater 231 is connected, which is the liquid heating mode. The second heater 232 is arranged between the shunt inlet of the parallel branch where the second battery heat exchanger 22 is located and the second battery heat exchanger 22, and its connection and short-circuit modes are similar to those of the first heater 231.

[0148] In Embodiment 2, the liquid cooling mode of the battery thermal management system is one of the following working modes:

[0152] Fourth liquid cooling mode: The first three-way valve 261 connects the first heat exchanger 11 and the power component 24. The second three-way valve 262 shorts the first heater 231. The third three-way valve 263 is closed. The first valve 211 is opened within the first preset time period. The second three-way valve 262 is closed. The third three-way valve 263 shorts the second heater 232. The second valve 221 is opened within the second preset time period. Within the first preset time period, the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the first heat exchanger 11 and the first battery heat exchanger 21. Within the second preset time period, the power component 24 drives the heat exchange medium to flow through the first heat exchanger 11 and the second battery heat exchanger 22. That is, the first liquid cooling mode is executed within the first preset time period, and the second liquid cooling mode is executed within the second preset time period. The first liquid cooling mode and the second liquid cooling mode are alternately executed.

[0153] The first battery heat exchanger 21 and the second battery heat exchanger 22 can be selected according to needs to cool the battery separately, simultaneously or alternately.

[0154] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the liquid heat mode of the battery thermal management system is one of the following working modes:
