[0043] The following further describes in detail the specific implementation manners of the present invention by describing the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, aiming to help those skilled in the art have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solutions of the present invention and facilitate its implementation.

[0044] Figure 1 The shown integrated thermal management system includes a compressor module 1; the compressor module 1 is respectively connected to an external heat exchange module 2, an HVAC assembly module 3 and a heating module 4; the external heat exchange module 2 is connected to the HVAC assembly module 3, and the external heat exchange module 2 is connected to a battery cooling refrigerant module 5; the heating module 4 is connected to the HVAC assembly module 3; the battery cooling refrigerant module 5 is connected to a power battery cooling circuit 7; the power battery cooling circuit 7 is connected to an electric drive circuit 8.

[0045] In this application, through the mutual cooperation of the compressor module 1, the external heat exchange module 2, the HVAC assembly module 3, the heating module 4, the battery cooling refrigerant module 5, the power battery cooling circuit 7 and the electric drive circuit 8, the waste heat recovery in multiple scenarios of the electric drive and the battery can be realized, the heat of the coolant can be fully utilized, the COP of the thermal management system can be improved, and the cruising range of the whole vehicle can be increased; at the same time, compared with the existing thermal management system, this application uses fewer multi-way valves and chillers, which is beneficial to the independent layout or integrated layout of the heat pump system for the whole vehicle.

[0046] The compressor module 1 includes a compressor 101; the compressor 101 is respectively connected to a liquid cooler 102 and a gas-liquid separator 103; the external heat exchange module 2 includes an external heat exchanger 201; a first expansion valve 202 is connected between the external heat exchanger 201 and the liquid cooler 102; an electric fan 203 is connected to the external heat exchanger 201.

[0047] The compressor 101 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, increasing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant and providing power for the refrigeration cycle. The compressed high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 101 and enters the liquid cooler 102. The liquid cooler 102 uses the coolant to exchange heat with the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, causing the gaseous refrigerant to release heat and gradually condense into a liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant cooled by the liquid cooler 102 then flows into the gas-liquid separator 103. The gas-liquid separator 103 separates a small amount of gaseous refrigerant that may be mixed in the liquid refrigerant, ensuring that the refrigerant entering the subsequent refrigeration components is mainly liquid, in order to improve the refrigeration efficiency and the stability of the system. The separated gaseous refrigerant will then return to the intake port of the compressor 101 to participate in the next compression cycle.

[0048] One end of the outlet of the liquid cooler 102 is connected to one end of the first expansion valve 202, and the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant cooled by the liquid cooler 102 flows into the first expansion valve 202. The first expansion valve 202 automatically adjusts the valve opening to throttle and reduce the pressure of the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, turning it into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture state. When the valve of the first expansion valve 202 is fully open, it directly outputs high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant.

[0049] The other end of the first expansion valve 202 is connected to the external heat exchanger 201. After the low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant or high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant enters the external heat exchanger 201, it starts to exchange heat with the external environment. The external heat exchanger 201 has a large heat exchange area and good thermal conductivity. An electronic fan 203 is connected to the external heat exchanger 201. After the electronic fan 203 is powered on, it rotates to accelerate the flow of air on the surface of the external heat exchanger 201.

[0050] The HVAC assembly module 3 includes the HVAC assembly 301. The HVAC assembly 301 is connected with a second expansion valve 302. The HVAC assembly 301 includes a front evaporator 303, a front heater core 304, and a front blower 305. The front evaporator 303 is respectively connected to the second expansion valve 302 and the gas-liquid separator 103.

[0051] HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. The second expansion valve 302 is connected to the HVAC assembly 301. By adjusting its own opening degree, the second expansion valve 302 throttles the high-pressure liquid refrigerant when it passes through, and the pressure drops rapidly, thus turning it into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture state refrigerant.

[0052] The low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows out of the second expansion valve 302 and enters the front evaporator 303. When the outside air is blown over the surface of the front evaporator 303 by the front blower 305, the refrigerant absorbs the heat in the air, causing the air temperature to drop, and the refrigerant itself gradually vaporizes; the gas-liquid separator 103 is connected to the front evaporator 303, and separates the liquid refrigerant that has not been completely vaporized in the front evaporator 303, allowing only the gaseous refrigerant to enter the subsequent circulation; the front warm air core 304 can heat the air; when heating is required, the front blower 305 blows the air through the front warm air core 304, and the temperature of the air rises after absorbing heat, thereby realizing the heating function.

[0053] The liquid cooler 102 includes a refrigerant pipeline 104 and a coolant pipeline 105; the refrigerant pipeline 104 is connected to the compressor 101; the heating module 4 includes a heating kettle 401; the heating kettle 401 is connected to a warm air water pump 402; the warm air water pump 402 is respectively connected to the coolant pipeline 105 and the front warm air core 304; the coolant pipeline 105 is connected to the front warm air core 304.

[0054] The refrigerant pipeline 104 is connected to the compressor 101, and the compressor 101 outputs high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into the refrigerant pipeline 104; the coolant pipeline 105 has coolant flowing in it; the working principle of the liquid cooler 102 is to utilize the coolant to perform heat exchange with the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the refrigerant pipeline 104, the coolant absorbs the heat of the refrigerant, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is gradually condensed into high-pressure liquid refrigerant, while the temperature of the coolant itself increases;

[0055] The heating kettle 401 is used to store coolant and provide a reserve of coolant for the entire heating module 4; the warm air water pump 402 is connected to the heating kettle 401 to allow the coolant to circulate in the loop; the inlet of the warm air water pump 402 is connected to the coolant pipeline 105; the outlet of the warm air water pump 402 is connected to the front warm air core 304, so that the coolant that has absorbed heat can be input into the front warm air core 304.

[0056] The battery cooling refrigerant module 5 includes a Chiller 6 ; the Chiller 6 is connected to a third expansion valve 601 , and the Chiller 6 is connected to a gas-liquid separator 103 .

[0057] The third expansion valve 601 throttles and reduces the pressure of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant coming from upstream by changing its own opening size; when the high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the throttling effect of the third expansion valve 601, the pressure drops rapidly and turns into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed state; this low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant then enters Chiller 6.

[0058] The Chiller 6 can perform heat exchange between the coolant and the refrigerant; the coolant takes away the heat generated by the battery, and the high-temperature coolant meets the low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant in the Chiller 6; due to the temperature difference, the heat in the coolant will be transferred to the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to gradually vaporize after absorbing the heat; while the coolant releases heat and its temperature decreases, and then it can circulate again to continue cooling the battery.

[0059] The power battery cooling circuit 7 includes a battery water pump 701; the battery water pump 701 is respectively connected to a power battery 702 and a first five-way valve 703; the power battery 702 is connected to a second five-way valve 704; the Chiller 6 includes a Chiller refrigerant pipeline 602 and a Chiller coolant pipeline 603; the Chiller coolant pipeline 603 is respectively connected to the first five-way valve 703 and the second five-way valve 704; the first five-way valve 703 is respectively connected to a heater water pump 402 and a front heater core 304.

[0060] The battery water pump 701 can make the coolant circulate in the circuit; when the battery water pump 701 starts, the coolant is pumped out and flows to the power battery 702; the power battery 702 generates heat during operation, and after the coolant flows into the power battery 702, it absorbs the heat generated by the battery through heat exchange; when the coolant flows into the Chiller coolant pipeline 603, the low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixed refrigerant flows in the Chiller refrigerant pipeline 602, and the coolant and the refrigerant perform heat exchange in the Chiller 6, and the coolant transfers the heat to the refrigerant, and its own temperature decreases, realizing the cooling of the coolant.

[0061] The first five-way valve 703 includes interfaces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; the second five-way valve 704 includes interfaces a, b, c, d, e.

[0062] The electric drive circuit 8 includes an electric drive water pump 801; the electric drive water pump 801 is respectively connected to an electric drive water kettle 802, a low-temperature radiator 803 and a three-in-one electric drive system 804; the three-in-one electric drive system 804 is connected to an electric drive controller 805; the electric drive controller 805 is connected to an electric drive 806; the second five-way valve 704 is respectively connected to the low-temperature radiator 803, the electric drive 806 and the electric drive water pump 801; the first five-way valve 703 is connected to the electric drive water pump 801.

[0063] A control method for an integrated thermal management system is specifically as follows:

[0064] As Figure 2As shown, in the passenger compartment cooling condition, the compressor module 1 outputs high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant; the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows into the external heat exchange module 2; the external heat exchange module 2 outputs high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant; the high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant flows into the HVAC assembly module 3; the HVAC assembly 301 outputs cold air; the HVAC assembly 301 outputs low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor module 1 for another cycle;

[0066] As Figure 4 shown, in the passenger compartment low-temperature dehumidification condition, the compressor module 1 outputs high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant; the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is split into the first high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant and the second high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant; the first high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows into the external heat exchange module 2, and the external heat exchange module 2 outputs low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant; the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor module 1 for another cycle; the second high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows into the HVAC assembly module 3, and the front evaporator 303 absorbs heat to cool and dehumidify the air in the passenger compartment; the HVAC assembly module 3 outputs low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant; the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor module 1 for another cycle.

[0067] In the passenger compartment cooling condition,

[0068] Refrigerant circuit: The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor 101 enters the liquid cooler 102, without heat exchange. The high-temperature refrigerant passes through the first expansion valve 202 (fully opened), enters the external heat exchanger 201 for sufficient heat release to become high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant, enters the second expansion valve 302 for throttling to become low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant. The refrigerant enters the front evaporator 303 in the HVAC assembly 301 for evaporation and heat absorption. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 101 after passing through the gas-liquid separator 103 to achieve the passenger compartment cooling function.

[0069] Electric drive cooling circuit: At this time, due to the high ambient temperature, power modules such as the electric drive 806 and the integrated electric drive system 804 need to be cooled and dissipated. The electric drive water pump 801 operates, and the low-temperature coolant sequentially enters the integrated electric drive system 804, the electric drive controller 805, and the electric drive 806 to cool the heating components. The coolant becomes high-temperature coolant, passes through the second five-way valve 704, and the interface d of the second five-way valve 704 is connected to the interface b, and then enters the low-temperature radiator 803.

[0070] In the battery cooling condition,

[0071] Refrigerant circuit: The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor 101 enters the liquid cooler 102, without heat exchange. The high-temperature refrigerant passes through the first expansion valve 202 (fully opened), enters the external heat exchanger 201 to release heat fully and becomes a high-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant, enters the third expansion valve 601 to throttle into a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant, and the refrigerant enters the Chiller refrigerant pipeline 602 of the Chiller 6 to evaporate, absorbing the heat on the coolant side in the Chiller coolant pipeline 603. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 101 after passing through the gas-liquid separator 103 to achieve the battery cooling function.

[0072] Coolant circuit: At the same time as the above refrigerant working process, the battery water pump 701 operates, pumps the low-temperature coolant into the power battery 702 to cool the battery cells in the power battery 702, and then enters the second five-way valve 704. The interface a is connected to the interface e, and the high-temperature coolant enters the Chiller coolant pipeline 603 of the Chiller 6, and is cooled by the low-temperature refrigerant in the above process and then becomes a low-temperature coolant.

[0073] In the passenger compartment low-temperature dehumidification condition,

[0074] Refrigerant circuit:
