[0023] Hybrid electric systems primarily contain heat-generating components such as the engine, motor, battery, and energy management unit, which dissipate heat through a radiator. Existing thermal management design techniques for hybrid electric systems often rely on one-dimensional mathematical formulas for design and derivation. While relatively simple and intuitive, hybrid electric systems typically employ a cabin structure and are complex systems. The heat flow and energy transfer process in hybrid electric systems inevitably involves numerous subsystems and the inherent characteristics of numerous components, as well as nonlinear changes caused by specific environmental, load, and other operating conditions. Therefore, existing thermal management analysis methods struggle to accurately simulate the actual operating state of the system, resulting in low accuracy in thermal management design analysis and an inability to meet the stringent requirements of modern engineering for the precise design of thermal management systems.

[0024] Example 1 The hybrid power system thermal management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention effectively solves the problem that existing thermal management analysis methods are difficult to accurately simulate the actual operating state of the hybrid power system, resulting in low accuracy of thermal management design analysis. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a first schematic diagram of a thermal management method for a hybrid system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: S100: Build a power unit model based on heat generation parameters of the engine and the motor to obtain heat dissipation.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present invention, the hybrid power system may be an oil-electric hybrid power system. By constructing a power unit model using GT-Power software, the amount of heat that needs to be removed by the coolant and the engine oil can be obtained. Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a second schematic diagram of a thermal management method for a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown in FIG, constructing the power unit model specifically includes the following steps: S110 , constructing a combustion subunit model and a heat transfer subunit model according to the combustion parameters of the engine.

[0026] The engine's operating process is essentially a complex coupling of combustion and heat transfer. Combustion releases heat, causing the temperature and pressure of the gas in the cylinder to rise, while heat transfer transfers some of the heat to components such as the cylinder wall. Therefore, a combustion subunit model and a heat transfer subunit model are constructed based on the engine's combustion parameters.

[0027] The combustion subunit model uses the VIBE semi-empirical formula, which can better simulate the change of combustion mass fraction with crankshaft angle during the combustion process of the engine. The expression of the combustion subunit model is as follows:

[0028] In the above formula,x Indicates the mass fraction burned, that is, the proportion of burned fuel to the total fuel; Indicates the crankshaft angle; a represents the VIBE coefficient, which is related to the combustion duration and heat release rate, Indicates the combustion start angle, that is, the crankshaft angle at which combustion begins; Indicates the combustion duration angle, which indicates the crankshaft angle range experienced from the beginning to the end of the combustion process; m It represents the combustion quality coefficient, which reflects the shape characteristics of the combustion process; y represents the dimensionless crankshaft angle and is defined as:

[0029] In the above formula, Indicates the heat release ratio per unit crankshaft angle, Q Indicates the total heat input, which is used to determine the total amount of energy released during the combustion process. By integrating, we can get the combustion mass fraction x With crankshaft angle The changing relationship:

[0030] The parameters of the combustion subunit model change with changes in engine operating conditions, including but not limited to speed, load, and injection timing. The relationship between the parameters and the operating conditions can be established through experimental calibration or empirical formulas.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the heat transfer subunit model may use the Woschni model to calculate the heat transfer coefficient between the in-cylinder gas and the cylinder wall of the engine.

[0032] S120: Construct a lubrication subunit model according to the performance parameters of the engine and the motor and the lubricating oil parameters.

[0033] In this embodiment of the present invention, GT-Power software is used to simulate the lubricating oil circulation power source to calculate the pump outlet flow rate and pressure, the flow of lubricating oil in the oil channel to calculate the pressure drop and temperature change, the lubrication and heat generation of friction pairs such as the main bearing and connecting rod bearing are simulated, the heat exchange between the lubricating oil and the coolant is simulated to control the upper limit of the oil temperature, and the storage and heat dissipation of lubricating oil are simulated to calculate the oil temperature in the oil pan, thereby constructing a lubrication subunit model. Based on this lubrication subunit model, the lubricating oil temperature can be calculated using the energy balance equation.

[0034] S130, coupling the combustion subunit model, the heat transfer subunit model, and the lubrication subunit model to obtain a power unit model.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the input-output relationships between the combustion, heat transfer, and lubrication subunit models are determined within the GT-Power software. By establishing a unified data interface, data transfer and interaction between the subunit models can be achieved, resulting in a power unit model. For example, the in-cylinder gas temperature and pressure output by the combustion subunit model serve as inputs to the heat transfer subunit model, used to calculate the heat transfer coefficient between the in-cylinder gas and the cylinder wall. Heat generated by combustion and friction serves as heat input to the heat transfer and lubrication subunit models. The temperatures of components such as the cylinder wall calculated by the heat transfer subunit model are then fed back to the combustion and lubrication subunit models, influencing the combustion process and lubricant performance. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the power unit model in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the power unit model is built based on GT-Power software, including crankcase, cylinder, turbine, intercooler, compressor and air filter and other equipment.

[0036] S140: Construct a three-dimensional heat dissipation model, perform simulation analysis in combination with the power unit model, and obtain heat dissipation.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, a three-dimensional heat dissipation model is constructed. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the three-dimensional heat dissipation model in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the 3D heat dissipation model includes the diesel engine, motor, radiator, condenser, intercooler, energy management unit, and power battery. Meshing and condition setting are performed on the 3D heat dissipation model and the power unit model, and simulation analysis is used to determine the amount of heat required to be removed by the engine.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the power unit model can truly reflect the complex physical processes within the hybrid power system, comprehensively consider the interactions between combustion, heat transfer and lubrication, and can more comprehensively and accurately simulate the working process of the hybrid power system.

[0039] S200 , determining a heat dissipation component according to the heat dissipation amount, and constructing a heat dissipation unit model based on heat dissipation parameters of the heat dissipation component.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation unit can be modeled and analyzed using GT-Cool. Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a heat dissipation unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5As shown, the heat dissipation unit can be divided into four parts. The heat dissipation unit of the engine and the heat dissipation unit of the motor are arranged in parallel. Part I is the engine water heat dissipation sub-unit. The heat dissipation components mainly include the engine water radiator, intercooler, oil radiator and water pump, which use coolant to cool the engine body. Part II is the intercooler sub-unit. The heat dissipation components mainly include the air filter and supercharger. The coolant is used to cool the intake air entering the engine cylinder after turbocharging. Part III is the lubricating oil cooling circulation sub-unit. The heat dissipation component is the oil pump, which lubricates and cools key components such as the engine piston and connecting rod. Part IV is the heat dissipation sub-unit of the motor. The heat dissipation components mainly include the motor water radiator and water pump. Since the motor can accept a high operating temperature, it is used to dissipate heat for the battery, energy management unit and motor in the cycle.

[0041] Figure 6 FIG3 is a third schematic diagram of a thermal management method for a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown in Figure 2, the construction of the heat dissipation unit model specifically includes the following steps: S210: Determine the heat dissipation component of each heat dissipation component according to the heat dissipation amount.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the heat balance formula is used to calculate the flow rate of the heat dissipation medium required for each heat dissipation component based on the heat dissipation amount combined with parameters such as the specific heat capacity and temperature rise requirement of the heat dissipation medium to obtain the heat dissipation component.

[0043] S220 , selecting heat dissipation components according to the heat dissipation components, and determining heat dissipation parameters of each heat dissipation component.

[0044] In this embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation components are selected based on the calculated heat dissipation components, as well as factors such as the installation space and cost of each heat dissipation component. The heat transfer coefficient and heat dissipation area of ​​each heat dissipation component are determined by referring to the heat dissipation component selection manual and relevant standards, taking into account the heat dissipation amount, heat dissipation components, and the physical properties of the heat dissipation medium and air. After determining the type of heat dissipation medium, its physical properties within the operating temperature range are obtained.

[0045] S230: Construct a heat dissipation unit model according to the heat dissipation parameters.

[0046] In this embodiment of the present invention, a cooling unit model is constructed using GT-Cool software based on cooling parameters. Specifically, the cooling unit model's component modules are defined based on the provided engine structural parameters and the cooling parameters of each cooling component. The cooling unit model is then constructed based on the actual operating parameters. Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a heat dissipation unit model according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the cooling unit model includes the engine cycle, motor cycle, fan, cooling air and expansion tank.

[0047] S300: Divide the air flow space area of ​​the power compartment according to the structural layout of the heat dissipation components, and construct a power compartment model based on the air flow space area.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, the air flow space area of ​​the entire power compartment is simulated by using Cool-3D software. Figure 8 : is a fourth schematic diagram of a thermal management method for a hybrid system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown in Figure 2, building the power compartment model specifically includes the following steps: S310. Divide the space according to the structural layout of the heat dissipation components in the power compartment to obtain air flow space sub-regions.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air flow space area of ​​the entire power compartment is divided according to the project structure layout of the heat dissipation components, fans and other obstacles in the power compartment, and the natural flow path and forced flow path of the air in the power compartment are combined to obtain air flow space sub-areas.

[0050] S320. Discretize the air flow space sub-region into multiple control volumes to obtain a power cabin model.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, a grid partitioning method is used in the Cool-3D software to discretize each air flow space sub-region into multiple control volumes. Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a partial schematic diagram of a power compartment model according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the number and spacing of the grid cells are first determined based on the required computational accuracy and the size of the subregions. The positions of the grid nodes are then defined in the one-dimensional direction. Finally, different physical quantities, such as velocity, pressure, and temperature, are typically defined at different grid nodes within the one-dimensional staggered grid to create a power compartment model. The overall power compartment resistance balance determines the fan type and allows observation of any abnormal temperature and pressure areas within the compartment.

[0052] S400: Perform thermal management on the hybrid power system according to the power unit model, the heat dissipation unit model, and the power compartment model.

[0053] Figure 10 Schematic diagram of the thermal management relationship of multi-field coupling in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10As shown, for the power unit model constructed using GT-Power software and the cooling unit model constructed using GT-Cool software, the total heat generated by the entire power unit differs due to the different power distribution between the engine and motor. Therefore, for the cooling unit model, the difference in total heat dissipation directly affects the selection of various cooling components and parameters such as the cooling water temperature drop. For the power unit model constructed using GT-Power software and the power compartment model constructed using Cool-3D software, the different power compartment layouts affect the duct bend length and depth within the power compartment, resulting in different cooling air flow resistances, which in turn influences fan selection and, in turn, alters the power consumption of the entire power unit in the auxiliary systems. For both the cooling unit model constructed using GT-Cool software and the power compartment model constructed using Cool-3D software, the cooling unit layout design determines the frontal area of ​​the cooling components. Different frontal areas require different fan parameters, thus affecting the power consumption of the cooling system. Therefore, in the process of thermal management analysis and calculation, the power distribution of the power unit, the calculation of the heat dissipation unit and the layout of the power compartment are mutually coupled processes. Comprehensive consideration and iterative calculation must be made during the calculation process to achieve the optimization of thermal management. Figure 11 5 is a fifth schematic diagram of a thermal management method for a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, thermal management specifically includes the following steps: S410: Calculate the engine heat dissipation and water outlet temperature according to the power unit model.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, the power distribution between the motor and the engine is first optimized and designed. When the power distribution is determined, the heat generated by the engine and the motor is analyzed separately based on the power unit model to determine the engine heat dissipation and the water outlet temperature.

[0055] S420: Calculate operating parameters of each heat dissipation component according to the heat dissipation unit model. The operating parameters include at least temperature, flow rate, and power.

[0056] In this embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation unit model is subject to physical laws such as the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy when performing fluid dynamics calculations on the gas-liquid side. The governing equations for heat transfer are mathematical descriptions of these conservation laws. Computer simulation analysis is used to determine the operating parameters of each heat dissipation component, including coolant volume, temperature, flow rate, and pressure.

[0057] Optionally, the heat dissipation effect and heat dissipation power consumption of the hybrid system can be evaluated based on the operating parameters of each heat dissipation component. For example, based on the obtained operating parameters, it can be evaluated whether the heat dissipation unit can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the entire hybrid system, or the power consumption of the heat dissipation unit can be evaluated.

[0058] S430. Calculate result parameters of the air flow space area according to the power cabin model, where the result parameters include at least pressure, temperature, velocity, and mass flow rate.

[0059] In this embodiment of the present invention, a finite volume method (FVM) is used to perform CFD numerical calculations based on the power compartment model. Calculations are first performed on each sub-area of ​​the air flow space, and finally, the pressure, temperature, velocity, and mass flow rate of the entire air flow space are obtained. The governing equations of the CFD mathematical model are as follows: The continuity equation is:

[0060] The enthalpy equation is:

[0061] The momentum equation is:

[0062] In the above formulas, represents the summation operation of all boundaries of the air flow space sub-region, represents the mass flow rate at the boundary, t Indicates time, m 、 V and p Represent the mass, volume and pressure of the air flow space sub-region respectively, A s represents the heat transfer area, e represents the total internal energy, H represents the total enthalpy, h represents the heat transfer coefficient, T fluid represents the fluid temperature, T wall represents the wall temperature, u represents the velocity at the boundary, A represents the flow area, C f represents the surface friction coefficient, represents the fluid density, dx represents the distance the fluid flows along the flow direction at the boundary, C p Indicates the pressure loss coefficient.

[0063] In the power compartment model, there are various boundary condition-related parameters, such as mass flow boundaries, velocity boundaries, and temperature boundaries. For mass flow boundaries, in the discrete equation, the mass flow at the boundary is substituted as a known quantity into the discrete form of the continuity equation to determine the mass balance of the air flow space sub-region. For velocity boundaries, when the momentum equation is discretized, the velocity value at the boundary is used to calculate the momentum flux through the boundary, affecting the calculation of the change in momentum in the air flow space sub-region. For temperature boundaries, the fluid temperature and wall temperature are known. In the discretization of the enthalpy equation, they are used to calculate the heat transfer term. The heat transfer coefficient and temperature difference jointly determine the heat transfer flux, thereby affecting the energy balance within the control volume.

[0064] In this embodiment of the present invention, since the air velocity in the cooling unit is relatively low, pressure fluctuations within the air duct are not considered. Instead, an implicit solution method is used to calculate the pressure, temperature, velocity, and mass flow rate of the entire air flow area. The resulting parameters are used to determine whether there are areas of abnormal temperature and pressure.

[0065] The hybrid system thermal management method provided by the present invention comprehensively considers the nonlinear variations of the hybrid system under different environmental and load conditions through multi-field coupled simulation. This method accurately captures the system's thermal state and provides a solid foundation for precise thermal management. Starting with power distribution optimization, the heat dissipation of the engine and motor is carefully analyzed, and the parameters of the heat dissipation components are rationally determined. Then, the fan selection is optimized using a gas flow model. Continuous iterations are performed with the goal of minimizing power consumption, achieving efficient design of the heat dissipation system and improving energy efficiency.

[0066] Example 2 Based on the same technical concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a thermal management device for a hybrid power system. Figure 12 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a thermal management device for a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 As shown, the thermal management device 200 of the hybrid system includes: The first model building module 210 is used to build a power unit model according to the heat generation parameters of the engine and the motor to obtain the heat dissipation.

[0067] The second model building module 220 is configured to determine a heat dissipation component according to the heat dissipation amount, and to build a heat dissipation unit model based on the heat dissipation parameters of the heat dissipation component.

[0068] The third model building module 230 is used to divide the air flow space area of ​​the power compartment according to the structural layout of the heat dissipation components, and build a power compartment model based on the air flow space area.

[0069] The model management and analysis module 240 is used to perform thermal management on the hybrid power system according to the power unit model, the heat dissipation unit model and the power compartment model.

[0070] The thermal management device of the hybrid power system provided by the embodiment of the present invention tightly couples the power system, the heat dissipation system and the power compartment layout and performs iterative calculations, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the hybrid power system. It can also improve the performance of the hybrid power system as a whole, so that it can still maintain efficient and stable operation under complex working conditions, and promote the development of hybrid power technology to a higher level.

[0071] It can be understood that the implementation of the thermal management method of the hybrid power system described in the above embodiment 1 is also applicable to this embodiment and can achieve the same technical effects, so it will not be repeated here.
