[0055] As described in the background art, to solve the problem of energy waste caused by the recovery of condensed water in the related art, the present application provides a thermal management system, including: a refrigerant circulation loop, on which an evaporator, a condenser, and a liquid reservoir are provided; a condensed water collection device, which includes a water tank, and the liquid reservoir is located in the water tank; the condensed water collection device is used to collect the condensed water generated when the evaporator works and store the condensed water in the water tank to cool the refrigerant in the liquid reservoir through the condensed water in the water tank.

[0056] Based on this, the present application can collect the condensed water generated when the evaporator works through the condensed water collection device and store the condensed water in the water tank to cool the refrigerant in the liquid reservoir through the condensed water in the water tank. It can not only realize the recycling of condensed water, but also avoid the energy waste caused after the generation of condensed water.

[0057] For the sake of easy understanding, the thermal management system provided by the present application will be specifically introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a vehicle shown according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0059] The thermal management system provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the vehicle 100. A vehicle can also be called a transportation vehicle (vehicle), a mobile carrier (mobile carrier), an electric vehicle (electric vehicle, EV), a hybrid electric vehicle (hybrid electric vehicle, HEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, PHEV), a fuel cell vehicle (fuel cell vehicle, FCV), an autonomous vehicle (autonomous vehicle), an intelligent and connected vehicle (intelligent and connected vehicle, ICV), a driverless vehicle (driverless vehicle), etc.

[0061] It should be noted that the structure illustrated in the embodiments of the present application does not limit the vehicle 100. It may include more or fewer components than those shown, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or have different component arrangements. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0062] Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of a thermal management system shown according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, the thermal management system 200 may be deployed in a vehicle. The thermal management system 200 may include a refrigerant circulation loop and a condensate collection device.

[0064] In a possible implementation, an evaporator 2001, a condenser 2002, and a liquid receiver 2003 are provided on the refrigerant circulation loop. The condensate collection device includes a water tank 2004, and the liquid receiver 2003 is located in the water tank 2004. The condensate collection device is used to collect the condensate generated when the evaporator 2001 operates and store the condensate in the water tank 2004 to cool the refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003 through the condensate in the water tank 2004.

[0065] Among them, the evaporator 2001 is a heat exchange device for converting a liquid substance (such as liquid refrigerant) into a gas to achieve endothermic refrigeration. During the operation of the evaporator 2001, the temperature of its surface is very low. When humid air (air containing a certain amount of moisture) encounters the surface of the evaporator 2001, the moisture in the humid air condenses due to the low temperature of the evaporator 2001, generating condensate.

[0066] The condenser 2002 is used to condense the gaseous refrigerant into a liquid refrigerant by releasing heat to the surroundings. The liquid receiver 2003 is used to store the liquid refrigerant generated by the condenser 2002.

[0067] The condensate generated when the evaporator 2001 operates is collected and stored in the water tank 2004, and the liquid receiver 2003 is located in the water tank 2004. Thus, the condensate in the water tank 2004 can cool the refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003, thereby recovering the cold energy of the condensate and avoiding waste of energy.

[0068] In some embodiments, the refrigeration scenarios of the vehicle may include refrigerating the passenger compartment and refrigerating the battery. Correspondingly, the refrigerant circulation loop includes a passenger compartment refrigerant circulation loop and / or a battery cooling circulation loop. The passenger compartment refrigerant circulation loop is used for heat exchange with the passenger compartment, and the battery cooling circulation loop is used for heat exchange with the battery.

[0069] The following introduces the passenger compartment refrigerant circulation loop provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. See Figure 3, the refrigerant circulation circuit of the passenger compartment includes an air conditioning box, a compressor 2005, a condenser 2002, a liquid receiver 2003, a water tank 2004, a stop valve 2006, and a thermostatic expansion valve 2007. The air conditioning box includes a first evaporator 2001A and a blower 2008.

[0070] It should be noted that when cooling the passenger compartment, the air conditioning box absorbs the heat in the air, causing the temperature of the passenger compartment to drop.

[0071] Specifically, the compressor 2005 converts the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant in the first evaporator 2001A into a high-pressure and high-temperature gaseous refrigerant, which is converted into a high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant through the condenser 2002 and stored in the liquid receiver 2003. The condensed water in the water tank 2004 cools the refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003, converting the high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003 into a high-pressure and low-temperature liquid refrigerant, and through the stop valve 2006 and the thermostatic expansion valve 2007, it is converted into a low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase refrigerant and transmitted to the first evaporator 2001A. Among them, the stop valve 2006 is used to control the flow of the refrigerant in the passenger compartment circulation circuit. The thermostatic expansion valve 2007 is used to reduce the pressure of the liquid refrigerant from the liquid receiver 2003, thereby converting it into a low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase refrigerant. The first evaporator 2001A absorbs the heat in the air in the passenger compartment, converts the two-phase refrigerant into a low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant, and transmits it into the passenger compartment to achieve the cooling of the passenger compartment. The blower 2008 guides the air in the passenger compartment to flow through the first evaporator 2001A, thereby achieving the effect of cooling. At the same time, the evaporator 2001 transmits the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant to the compressor 2005 to achieve the circulating refrigeration of the passenger compartment.

[0072] It can be understood that a pressure sensor can be provided between the condenser 2002 and the compressor 2005 in the passenger compartment circulation circuit to detect the pressure of the refrigerant in the passenger compartment circulation circuit and prevent the abnormal operation of the passenger compartment circulation circuit due to excessive refrigerant pressure.

[0073] The battery cooling circulation circuit provided by the embodiment of the present application will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings. See Figure 4 , the battery cooling circulation circuit includes a second evaporator 2001B, a compressor 2005, a condenser 2002, a liquid receiver 2003, a water tank 2004, an electronic valve 2009, a battery water pump 2010, a battery water kettle 2011, and a battery 2012.

[0074] Specifically, the compressor 2005 converts the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant in the second evaporator 2001B into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, converts it into a high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant through the condenser 2002, and stores it in the liquid receiver 2003. The condensed water in the water tank 2004 cools the refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003, converts the high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003 into a high-pressure and low-temperature liquid refrigerant, and converts it into a low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase refrigerant through the solenoid valve 2009, and transfers it to the second evaporator 2001B.

[0075] Among them, the battery water kettle 2011 can be understood as a liquid storage tank for storing refrigerant. The battery water pump 2010, as a power source, pumps the heated refrigerant out of the battery module, transports it to the battery cooler for cooling, and then pumps the refrigerant with a significantly reduced temperature into the battery module for cooling the battery.

[0076] It can be understood that in the case of adopting the direct cooling technology, the evaporator can be used as the battery cooler, and the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator. As Figure 4 shown, the second evaporator 2001B is used as the battery cooler. In addition, the evaporator 2001 can transfer the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant to the compressor 2005 to achieve cyclic refrigeration of the battery.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the passenger compartment and the battery can be refrigerated simultaneously, that is, the refrigerant circulation loop can include a passenger compartment refrigerant circulation loop and a battery cooling circulation loop at the same time.

[0078] The following introduces the passenger compartment refrigerant circulation loop and the battery cooling circulation loop provided by the embodiment of the present application with reference to the drawings. See Figure 5 , the passenger compartment refrigerant circulation loop and the battery cooling circulation loop include an air conditioning box, a compressor 2005, a condenser 2002, a liquid receiver 2003, a water tank 2004, a stop valve 2006, a thermostatic expansion valve 2007, a second evaporator 2001B, a solenoid valve 2009, a battery water pump 2010, a battery water kettle 2011, and a battery 2012. The air conditioning box includes a first evaporator 2001A and a blower 2008.

[0079] Specifically, the compressor 2005 converts the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant in the first evaporator 2001A and the second evaporator 2001B into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is converted into a high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant through the condenser 2002 and stored in the liquid receiver 2003. The condensed water in the water tank 2004 cools the refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003, converting the high-pressure and medium-temperature liquid refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003 into a high-pressure and low-temperature liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant in the liquid receiver 2003 can be converted into a low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase refrigerant through the stop valve 2006 and the thermostatic expansion valve 2007 and transmitted to the first evaporator 2001A; and can be converted into a low-pressure and low-temperature two-phase refrigerant through the solenoid valve 2009 and transmitted to the second evaporator 2001B.

[0080] The first evaporator 2001A absorbs the heat of the air in the passenger compartment, converts the two-phase refrigerant into a low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant, and transmits it into the passenger compartment to cool down the passenger compartment. The blower 2008 guides the air in the passenger compartment to flow through the first evaporator 2001A, thereby achieving the effect of cooling. At the same time, the first evaporator 2001A transmits the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant into the compressor 2005. The second evaporator 2001B absorbs the heat of the coolant in the battery water tank 2011, converts the two-phase refrigerant into a low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant, and the battery water pump 2010 cools the battery 2012 through the coolant in the battery water tank 2011. At the same time, the second evaporator 2001B transmits the low-pressure and low-temperature gaseous refrigerant into the compressor 2005. Based on the above scenario, the cyclic refrigeration of the passenger compartment and the battery can be achieved simultaneously.

[0081] As can be seen from the above, the present application can collect the condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator through the condensed water collection device and store the condensed water in the water tank to cool the refrigerant in the liquid receiver through the condensed water in the water tank. The recycling of the condensed water can be realized, and at the same time, the subcooling degree and heat exchange efficiency of the thermal management system can be improved, the power consumption of the air conditioning system can be reduced, and the cruising range of the vehicle can be increased.

[0082] The following combines Figure 6 to further introduce the thermal management system provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0083] In a possible implementation manner, the water tank 2004 includes at least a first water outlet 2013, and the liquid level height corresponding to the first water outlet 2013 in the water tank 2004 is less than or equal to the liquid level height corresponding to the bottom of the liquid receiver 2003 in the water tank 2004; the condensed water collection device further includes a control valve 2014 for controlling the opening and closing of the first water outlet 2013.

[0084] Among them, the first water outlet 2013 is used to control the liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank 2004. When the condensate water in the water tank 2004 meets the conditions, the opening and closing of the first water outlet 2013 are controlled by controlling the control valve 2014. Among them, the liquid level height refers to the water level height of the condensate water in the water tank.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, when the control valve 2014 is opened, the first water outlet 2013 is opened, so that the condensate water in the water tank 2004 is discharged from the first water outlet 2013. When the control valve 2014 is closed, the first water outlet 2013 is closed, so that the condensate water in the water tank 2004 cannot be discharged from the first water outlet 2013.

[0086] According to the above technical means, the present application can ensure that the condensate water with lower stored cold in the water tank can be discharged in time by setting up a first water outlet in the water tank and controlling the opening and closing of the first water outlet with a control valve, avoiding that the newly collected condensate water cannot be stored in the water tank and improving the recovery and utilization rate of the condensate water.

[0087] In a possible implementation manner, the thermal management system further includes: a water temperature sensor 2015 for detecting the water temperature of the condensate water in the water tank 2004; a liquid level height sensor 2016 for detecting the liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank 2004; and the thermal management system is configured to control the working state of the control valve 2014 based on the liquid level height and water temperature of the condensate water in the water tank 2004.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, a water temperature sensor 2015 and a liquid level height sensor 2016 can be set in the water tank 2004 to detect the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank 2004. When it is detected that the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank 2004 meet the conditions, the control valve 2014 can be controlled to open or close the first water outlet 2013 of the water tank, so as to actively discharge the condensate water in the water tank.

[0089] It can be understood that the water temperature sensor 2015 and the liquid level height sensor 2016 can detect the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank in real time, or can detect the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank periodically by setting up a timing task, and this is not limited.

[0090] According to the above technical means, the present application can detect the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank in real time and accurately by setting a water temperature sensor and a liquid level height sensor. Based on the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensate water in the water tank, accurately judge the working state of the control valve, and then control the condensate water in the water tank.

[0091] In a possible implementation, when the liquid level height of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level height and the water temperature of the condensed water is lower than the preset temperature threshold, the control valve 2014 is controlled to close to close the first water outlet 2013; or, when the liquid level height of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level height and the water temperature of the condensed water is higher than the preset temperature threshold, the control valve 2014 is controlled to open to open the first water outlet 2013; when the liquid level height of the condensed water is lower than the preset liquid level height, the control valve 2014 is controlled to close to close the first water outlet 2013.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, when the liquid level height of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level height but the water temperature of the condensed water is lower than the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the cold energy of the recovered condensed water has not been fully recovered and utilized. The control valve 2014 is controlled to close to close the first water outlet 2013 to prevent the condensed water from being discharged from the first water outlet 2013, resulting in waste of energy.

[0093] When the liquid level height of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level height and the water temperature of the condensed water is higher than the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the cold energy of the recovered condensed water has been recovered by the refrigerant in the accumulator 2003 through heat transfer, and the condensed water in the water tank 2004 can no longer be utilized. The control valve 2014 is controlled to open to open the first water outlet 2013 to discharge the condensed water in the water tank 2004. Thus, the condensed water with insufficient cold energy can be discharged in time so that there is enough volume in the water tank to receive the newly generated condensed water with higher cold energy.

[0094] When the liquid level height of the condensed water is lower than the preset liquid level height, it indicates that the condensed water in the water tank 2004 will not affect the process of recovering condensed water next time. The control valve 2014 is controlled to close to close the first water outlet 2013 and wait for the next recovery process.

[0095] Exemplarily, the preset temperature threshold can be 30 °C, and the preset liquid level height can be the bottom position of the accumulator 2003 in the water tank 2004. When the liquid level height of the condensed water is lower than the preset liquid level height, it indicates that the condensed water will not be in direct contact with the accumulator 2003, that is, the condensed water will not exchange heat with the refrigerant in the accumulator 2003.

[0096] According to the above technical means, the present application can accurately control the working state of the control valve by judging the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensed water in the water tank, and then control the working state of the first water outlet, so as to accurately control the condensed water in the water tank, discharge the condensed water with insufficient cold energy in time so that there is enough volume in the water tank to receive the newly generated condensed water with higher cold energy, and improve the recovery efficiency of the cold energy of the condensed water.

[0097] In a possible implementation, the water tank further includes a second water outlet 2017, and the liquid level height corresponding to the second water outlet 2017 in the water tank is higher than the liquid level height corresponding to the first water outlet 2013 in the water tank 2004.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, a second water outlet 2017 is provided in the water tank. When the liquid level height of the condensed water in the water tank 2004 is higher than the liquid level height corresponding to the second water outlet 2017 in the water tank 2004, the condensed water is discharged from the water tank 2004 through the second water outlet 2017. This is because too much condensed water in the water tank may cause the process of recovering condensed water to be blocked.

[0099] According to the above technical means, the present application can ensure that when the condensed water in the water tank reaches the liquid level height corresponding to the second water outlet, the condensed water can be discharged from the water tank in time by setting the second water outlet, thereby avoiding the liquid level height of the condensed water in the water tank being too high to recover the condensed water any more.

[0100] In a possible implementation, the liquid level height corresponding to the second water outlet 2017 in the water tank 2004 is greater than or equal to the liquid level height corresponding to the top of the liquid storage device 2003 in the water tank.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the liquid level height corresponding to the second water outlet 2017 in the water tank 2004 to be greater than or equal to the liquid level height corresponding to the top of the liquid storage device 2003 in the water tank, it is ensured that when the condensed water is discharged from the water tank through the second water outlet, the liquid level height of the condensed water in the water tank is greater than or equal to the liquid level height corresponding to the top of the liquid storage device in the water tank, so as to ensure that the condensed water can be in full contact with the liquid storage device and efficiently recover the cold quantity of the condensed water.

[0102] In a possible implementation, the condensed water collection device further includes a condensed water guiding device 2019; the condensed water guiding device 2019 is used to guide the collected condensed water into the water tank.

[0103] The following introduces the condensed water guiding device provided in the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. See Figure 7 , an inlet 2018 is provided in the water tank 2004, and the air handling unit is connected to the inlet 2018 through the condensed water guiding device 2019 for guiding the collected condensed water into the water tank. Among them, the condensed water guiding device 2019 can be a water pipe or other devices that can be used to guide condensed water, and there is no limitation thereto.

[0104] Figure 8 is a schematic flow chart of a condensed water recovery method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 8 shown, the condensed water recovery method includes the following steps: S801 - S802.

[0105] S801. Obtain the water temperature and liquid level height of the condensed water in the water tank of the condensed water collection device.

[0106] Among them, the condensed water collection device is used to collect the condensed water generated when the evaporator works in the refrigerant circulation loop and store the condensed water in the water tank to cool the refrigerant in the liquid receiver of the refrigerant circulation loop through the condensed water in the water tank.

[0107] It should be noted that when recovering the condensed water, since the temperature of the condensed water is relatively low, if the condensed water is directly discharged, it will cause waste of the cold energy of the condensed water. Therefore, it is necessary to cool the refrigerant in the liquid receiver of the refrigerant circulation loop through the condensed water in the water tank to recover the cold energy of the condensed water.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, a water temperature sensor and a liquid level height sensor can be arranged in the water tank. The water temperature sensor is used to detect the water temperature of the condensed water in the water tank, and the liquid level height sensor is used to detect the liquid level height of the condensed water in the water tank.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the condensed water collection device includes a water tank, and a liquid receiver, a first water outlet and a second water outlet are arranged in the water tank. Among them, the liquid receiver stores refrigerant and is used for heat transfer with the condensed water recovered in the water tank. The first water outlet is controlled by a control valve and is used to actively discharge the condensed water in the water tank. The liquid level height corresponding to the second water outlet in the water tank is higher than that of the first water outlet. When the liquid level height of the condensed liquid in the water tank is higher than the second water outlet, the condensed liquid can be directly discharged from the second water outlet.

[0110] S802. Control the working state of the control valve of the condensed water collection device based on the liquid level height and water temperature of the condensed water in the water tank.

[0111] Among them, the control valve is used to control the opening and closing of the first water outlet of the water tank, and the liquid level height corresponding to the first water outlet in the water tank is less than or equal to the liquid level height corresponding to the bottom of the liquid receiver in the water tank.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, when the control valve is opened, it can control the opening of the first water outlet of the water tank. When the control valve is closed, it can control the closing of the first water outlet of the water tank.

[0113] In a possible implementation manner, when the liquid level height of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level height and the water temperature of the condensed water is lower than the preset temperature threshold, control the control valve to close to close the first water outlet; or, when the liquid level height of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level height and the water temperature of the condensed water is higher than the preset temperature threshold, control the control valve to open to open the first water outlet; when the liquid level height of the condensed water is lower than the preset liquid level height, control the control valve to close to close the first water outlet.

[0114] Specifically, when the liquid level of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level, but the water temperature of the condensed water is lower than the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the cold energy of the recovered condensed water has not been fully recovered and utilized. At this time, the control valve is controlled to close to close the first water outlet to prevent the condensed water from being discharged from the first water outlet, resulting in waste of energy.

[0115] When the liquid level of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level and the water temperature of the condensed water is higher than the preset temperature threshold, it indicates that the cold energy of the recovered condensed water has been recovered by the refrigerant in the accumulator through heat transfer, and the condensed water in the water tank can no longer be used. At this time, the control valve is controlled to open to open the first water outlet to discharge the condensed water in the water tank, so as to avoid problems such as insufficient water tank volume or energy loss during the next recovery of condensed water.

[0116] When the liquid level of the condensed water is lower than the preset liquid level, it indicates that the condensed water in the water tank has been discharged and will not affect the process of recovering condensed water next time. At this time, the control valve is controlled to close to close the first water outlet and wait for the next recovery process.

[0117] For ease of understanding, please refer to the following Figure 9 , and in combination with a specific example, the method for recovering condensed water provided by the embodiments of the present application will be further described.

[0118] As Figure 9 shown, first, the condensed water generated by the operation of the evaporator is obtained, and the condensed water is guided into the water tank through the condensed water guiding device, and the water temperature and liquid level of the condensed water in the water tank are obtained.

[0119] When the liquid level of the condensed water is higher than the liquid level corresponding to the second water outlet, the condensed water is discharged through the second water outlet. When the liquid level of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level and the water temperature of the condensed water is higher than the preset temperature threshold, the condensed water is discharged through the first water outlet. When the liquid level of the condensed water is higher than the preset liquid level and the water temperature of the condensed water is lower than the preset temperature threshold, or the liquid level of the condensed water is lower than the preset liquid level, the condensed water is not discharged.

[0120] Based on the above technical solutions, the present application can collect the condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator in the refrigerant circulation loop through the condensed water collection device, and cool the refrigerant in the accumulator of the refrigerant circulation loop, so as to recover the condensed water and make full use of the cold energy of the recovered condensed water, greatly improving the energy utilization rate of the condensed water. Moreover, the working state of the control valve of the condensed water collection device can be accurately controlled by obtaining the water temperature and liquid level of the condensed water in the water tank of the condensed water collection device, and then the opening and closing of the first water outlet of the water tank can be controlled.
