Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste heat recovery for electric loaders, and in particular to a thermal management system and a waste heat recovery control method for electric loaders. Background Art

[0002] As an environmentally friendly and efficient engineering machinery, electric loaders are increasingly used in mining, construction, logistics and other fields due to their low emissions, low noise, high energy utilization and convenient operation performance, becoming an important force in promoting the green and sustainable development of the engineering machinery industry.

[0003] The stable operation of electric loaders is highly dependent on temperature control of various core systems. Key components such as the power battery pack, electric drive system, electronic control system, hydraulic system, and cab environment must all operate within an appropriate temperature range. Specifically, the power battery pack must be maintained within a certain temperature range to ensure charge and discharge efficiency and cycle life, requiring cooling in summer and heating in winter. The electric drive and electronic control systems generate a large amount of heat when running at high speeds. If heat is not dissipated in time, it will lead to performance degradation or even damage. The hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system heats up during operation due to factors such as friction, and needs to be cooled to maintain its viscosity and working performance. The cab needs to be adjusted according to the ambient temperature to ensure the comfort of the operator.

[0004] At present, the thermal management of electric loaders mostly adopts a decentralized design: the cooling of the power battery pack and the cooling of the cab are achieved through independent refrigeration systems respectively, the cooling of the hydraulic oil and the heat dissipation of the electric drive system and the electronic control system also use independent cooling circuits, and the heating of the power battery pack in winter mainly relies on active heating devices such as PTC heaters or electric heating films.

[0005] However, the distributed thermal management system in the existing technology still has certain shortcomings: each subsystem is independently equipped with radiators, fans, pump bodies and other components, resulting in a complex structure and a large number of parts for the vehicle thermal management system, which not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also takes up a large amount of assembly space for the whole machine, which is not conducive to the compact design of the electric loader; the motor of the electric drive system and the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system will generate a large amount of waste heat during operation. This waste heat is usually discharged directly into the environment through the radiator and is not effectively utilized; at the same time, in winter, the heating of the power battery pack relies entirely on energy-consuming devices such as PTC heaters, resulting in increased battery energy consumption, which may affect the cruising range and continuous working time of the electric loader. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems raised in the above background technology and to propose a thermal management system and a waste heat recovery control method for an electric loader.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

When the water outlet temperature is lower than the third preset temperature of the battery, the six-in-one combination motor controller controls the three-way valve on the motor water radiator side to close;

[0017] A first temperature sensor is used to monitor the water inlet temperature of the six-in-one combination motor controller in real time. When the water inlet temperature is lower than the second preset temperature of the motor, the six-in-one combination motor controller controls the three-way valve on the motor waste heat recovery heat exchanger side to close; a fourth temperature sensor is used to monitor the water outlet temperature of the fourth three-way valve in real time.

When the outlet water temperature is higher than the fifth preset temperature of the battery, the six-in-one combined motor controller controls the three-way valve on the hydraulic oil radiator side to close; the fifth temperature sensor is used to monitor the outlet water temperature on the battery side of the hydraulic oil waste heat recovery heat exchanger in real time. When the outlet water temperature is lower than the third preset temperature of the battery, the six-in-one combined motor controller controls the three-way valve on the hydraulic oil radiator side to close;

[0019] The ninth temperature sensor is used to monitor the hydraulic oil temperature at the oil inlet of the hydraulic oil tank in real time.

When the outlet water temperature is higher than the fifth preset temperature of the battery, the six-in-one combination motor controller controls the three-way valve on the hydraulic oil waste heat recovery heat exchanger side to close; the temperature sensor is used to monitor the inlet water temperature of the battery water pump in real time. When the inlet water temperature is higher than the fifth preset temperature of the battery, the six-in-one combination motor controller controls the three-way valve on the hydraulic oil waste heat recovery heat exchanger side to close, and when the temperature is lower than the fourth preset temperature of the battery, the three-way valve is controlled to open; the fifth temperature sensor is used to monitor the outlet water temperature of the battery side of the hydraulic oil waste heat recovery heat exchanger in real time. When the outlet water temperature is lower than the third preset temperature of the battery, the six-in-one combination motor controller controls the three-way valve on the hydraulic oil waste heat recovery heat exchanger side to close;

[0020] When the three-way valve on the motor waste heat recovery heat exchanger side and the three-way valve on the hydraulic oil waste heat recovery heat exchanger side are both in the closed state, the seventh temperature sensor is used to monitor the water inlet temperature of the power battery pack in real time.

When the temperature is lower than the first preset temperature of the battery, the heating power is controlled to be the fourth preset power. The sixth temperature sensor is used to monitor the water inlet temperature of the power battery pack in real time. When the water inlet temperature is higher than the fourth preset temperature of the battery and lower than the fifth preset temperature of the battery, the heating power is controlled to be the first preset power. When the temperature is higher than the third preset temperature of the battery and lower than the fourth preset temperature of the battery, the heating power is controlled to be the second preset power. When the temperature is higher than the second preset temperature of the battery and lower than the third preset temperature of the battery, the heating power is controlled to be the third preset power. When the temperature is higher than the first preset temperature of the battery and lower than the second preset temperature of the battery, the heating power is controlled to be the fifth preset power. When the temperature is lower than the first preset temperature of the battery, the heating power is controlled to be the fourth preset power. When the water inlet temperature is higher than the fifth preset temperature of the battery, the PTC heater is controlled to stop heating.

[0021] The fan speed requirements of the motor water circuit system, hydraulic oil circuit system, battery water circuit system, chilled water circuit system, and cab refrigeration circuit are fed back to the six-in-one combination motor controller. After comparison, the six-in-one combination motor controller selects the maximum wind speed as the output wind speed to control the fan speed.

[0022] Preferably, the first preset temperature of the motor is 65°C, and the second preset temperature of the motor is 25°C.

[0023] Furthermore, the first preset temperature of the hydraulic oil is 75°C, and the second preset temperature of the hydraulic oil is 25°C.

[0024] Furthermore, the first preset power is 25% of the full power, the second preset power is 50% of the full power, the third preset power is 75% of the full power, the fourth preset power is full power, and the fifth preset power is 60% of the full power.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a thermal management system and waste heat recovery control method for an electric loader, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The present invention uses a multi-circuit coupling design to reduce the duplication of components such as radiators and pump bodies, reduce equipment duplication and weight, and solve the component redundancy problem of traditional independent cooling systems. By switching the three-way valve to connect with the heat exchanger, the waste heat of the motor and hydraulic system is converted into an effective heat source for heating the power battery, significantly reducing the dependence of battery heating on PTC heaters in winter and reducing the overall energy consumption of the system.

[0027] 2. The present invention monitors the parameters of each circuit in real time through a temperature sensor group to achieve precise coordinated control of the three-way valve opening, water pump speed, and fan speed, ensuring that the motor, hydraulic, battery and other systems operate in the optimal temperature range, improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing ineffective power consumption.
