Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal management of electric vehicles, and in particular relates to a collaborative thermal management system for electric vehicles based on a cross-refrigerant compatible architecture. Background Art

[0002] At present, traditional refrigerants represented by R134a (GWP=1430, global warming potential) have faced strict restrictions on use due to their high environmental load characteristics. In this context, R290 (propane, GWP=3), which has natural environmental protection properties, has become the focus of the industry and has been included in the thermal management system technology roadmap by many OEMs. However, the flammability characteristics of R290 place stringent requirements on electric vehicle heat pump systems: the existing direct heat pump architecture has a risk of leakage (concentrations exceeding the lower combustion limit LFL=0.38vol% may cause explosions), forcing the industry to turn to indirect heat pump technology (such as coolant and refrigerant secondary heat exchange systems). Although this technical shift has improved safety, it has resulted in a cooling capacity attenuation of up to 18% and 25% (compared to the R134a direct system), especially under high-temperature driving conditions, which makes it difficult to meet the passenger compartment cooling, power battery cooling, and electric drive heat dissipation needs.

[0003] At the same time, given that the commercial application of R290 is still limited by the perfection of safety standards and the maturity of the industrial chain, some manufacturers have put forward the demand for "progressive replacement" - hoping to build a cross-refrigerant compatible heat pump architecture that can not only use the mature R134a working fluid to ensure performance at the current stage, but also quickly adapt to R290 through modular transformation when the regulations force switching, thereby minimizing the system transformation cost. The core technical contradiction of this demand is that the physical properties of R134a and R290 are significantly different (such as pressure curve, latent heat of phase change, and lubricant compatibility), and the traditional fixed heat pump architecture cannot achieve lossless switching between the two. Taking refrigeration capacity as an example, the evaporation temperature of R290 in the indirect system needs to be reduced by 5 or 8°C to match the performance of R134a, but this will cause the compressor power consumption to increase by 12% and 15%. Therefore, an innovative system architecture is urgently needed to realize the demand for cross-refrigerant compatible architecture of electric vehicle thermal management system through dynamic flow path reconstruction and control strategy optimization. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric vehicle collaborative thermal management system based on a cross-refrigerant compatible architecture, aiming to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art identified in the background technology.

[0005] The present invention is implemented as follows: an electric vehicle collaborative thermal management system based on a cross-refrigerant compatible architecture includes the following core designs: Modular architecture design Refrigerant Integration Module: A refrigerant circulation loop is constructed through an electric compressor, a double-plate heat exchanger, a liquid storage tank, and an electronic expansion valve, supporting dual-platform compatibility for R134a and R290.

[0006] Water-side Integration Module: With a nine-way water valve as the core, it dynamically adjusts the coolant flow direction, connects the occupant compartment thermal management module, the power battery thermal management module, the electric drive thermal management module, and the front-end cooling module to achieve coordinated control under multiple working conditions.

[0007] Cross-refrigerant Compatibility Module Unit HVAC Assembly Optimization: Integrate a cold air core and a warm air core in the occupant compartment thermal management module, and achieve flow path switching through a three-way water valve or an integrated multi-way valve (such as a four-way, five-way, or six-way water valve).

[0008] Refrigerant Adaptation Control: R134a Mode: Connect the cold air core and the warm air core in series, and release the latent heat of refrigerant phase change in segments to increase the utilization rate of refrigeration capacity by 15% and 20%. R290 Mode: Select to operate the cold air core alone (gentle refrigeration) or in series with the warm air core (rapid refrigeration) according to requirements, and utilize the high refrigeration capacity of R290 to reduce system energy consumption.

[0009] Multi-objective Coordinated Control Strategy Dynamic Flow Regulation: Through the linkage of a nine-way water valve and a three-way water valve, balance the coolant distribution for occupant compartment refrigeration, power battery cooling, and electric drive heat dissipation.

[0010] Temperature Closed-loop Control: Based on the feedback of the coolant inlet temperature of the power battery, adjust the opening of the second three-way water valve to ensure that the battery temperature is stable below 25°C.

[0011] Three Integration Schemes Scheme 1: Simplify the original four-valve structure with a four-way water valve, a three-way water valve, and a two-way ball valve; Scheme 2: Integrate the flow path with a five-way water valve and a three-way water valve; Scheme 3: Achieve full-function integration with a single six-way water valve to further reduce the system complexity.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The GWP value of R290 is only 3, which is 99.7% lower than that of traditional R134a (GWP = 1430), and there is no risk of ozone layer depletion, fully meeting international environmental protection regulations; 2. The indirect heat pump technology isolates the combustible refrigerant from the occupant compartment through secondary heat exchange of the coolant and the refrigerant, and can achieve large-scale application of R290 on the premise of ensuring safety, promoting the industry to accelerate the transformation towards the carbon neutrality goal; 3. By connecting the cold air core body in series with the warm air core body and releasing the latent heat of refrigerant phase change in sections, the utilization rate of refrigerating capacity is increased by 15% and 20%, effectively compensating for the problem of refrigeration attenuation in the indirect system; 5. A progressive replacement path is proposed. Currently, R134a is used to ensure performance, and it can be seamlessly switched to R290 through the design of the cross-refrigerant compatibility architecture in the early stage to cope with the refrigerant ban regulations with GWP>150 in 2030.

[0026] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, in the cross-refrigerant compatibility module unit of the occupant compartment thermal management module, the cross-refrigerant compatibility module unit can be arranged in two ways.

One is to control the cross-refrigerant compatibility module unit to achieve the series connection of the cold air core body 42 and the warm air core body 43 under the rapid refrigeration demand. The other is to control the cross-refrigerant compatibility module unit to make the cold air core body 42 work alone under the mild refrigeration demand, while cooling the power battery 51 and dissipating heat from the electric drive 61.
