Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal management, in particular to a thermal management system, method, vehicle and electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the gradual popularization of new energy vehicles, the number of new energy vehicles on the market is increasing, but the endurance mileage of new energy vehicles is a major pain point. Especially in the winter low temperature environment, on the one hand, the activity of the power battery decreases, resulting in a decrease in endurance mileage, and on the other hand, the opening of the passenger compartment for heating air conditioning consumes a large amount of electric energy, resulting in a decrease in endurance mileage. The mainstream method of thermal management of new energy vehicles at present is to use a high-efficiency heat pump air conditioning system to heat the passenger compartment.

[0003] In related technologies, the refrigerant flows through the compressor, the water-cooled condenser, the liquid tank, the electronic expansion valve, the heat exchanger, the water pump, the water heater and the radiator and other components in turn to realize the air conditioning heating mode in the thermal management mode. This method uses refrigerant as a temperature regulating medium, adjusts the temperature (form) of the condenser through the water-cooled condenser, the electronic expansion valve, the heat exchanger, the water pump, the water heater and the radiator and other components, and achieves the air conditioning heating mode. Although it can realize the air conditioning heating mode, a large amount of electric energy is consumed to achieve the air conditioning heating effect.

[0004] In another related technology, the working mode of the vehicle air conditioning system is identified, and based on the working mode, the mode dead zone and the valve control scheme are determined. Then, the valve control scheme is adjusted based on the mode dead zone to obtain a thermal management control scheme, so as to control the vehicle air conditioning system to work. This method controls the working state of the vehicle air conditioning system by controlling the working state of different components (in-vehicle condenser, out-vehicle condenser, in-vehicle evaporator, cooling temperature controller, etc.) through different valves. Although this method can efficiently control the working state of the vehicle air conditioning system through multiple valves to achieve the effect of saving electric energy, a large amount of electric energy is still consumed to achieve the air conditioning heating effect. Therefore, the current new energy vehicle has poor thermal management effect on the energy consumption of the vehicle when realizing the heating mode based on the air conditioning system. SUMMARY

[0051] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings.

[0052] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0053] The heat pump air conditioning system used on vehicles mainly uses R134a refrigerant (i.e. refrigerant) as the mainstream, and some use R290 refrigerant. However, due to the physical properties of R134a refrigerant, there are disadvantages such as narrow operating boundary and low low-temperature energy efficiency ratio (low temperature down to about -10℃, the coefficient of performance (COP) is only about 1.4 when running stably). The main reason is that the external heat exchanger has low heat absorption efficiency at low temperature, and the motor generates certain heat during vehicle operation. The motor heat is mainly dissipated through the low-temperature radiator, or enters the battery through the water valve to heat and keep warm.

[0054] R290 refrigerant, as a potential vehicle refrigerant, has the advantages of wide temperature range (low temperature as low as -25℃) and high energy efficiency ratio. However, it is necessary to reduce the refrigerant filling amount by means of secondary heat exchange, and the secondary heat exchange circuit makes the water system complex. It is necessary to redesign and develop the system architecture, involving system-level and component-level design and development and verification work.

[0055] The thermal management method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a thermal management system. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system includes: a power battery heat exchange circuit 11 , a motor heat absorption circuit 12 (also called a heat absorption circuit) and a controller 13 .

[0056] The power battery heat exchange circuit 11 is used to absorb the first heat generated when the power battery is running; the motor heat absorption circuit 12 is used to absorb the second heat generated when the motor is running.

[0057] The controller 13 is configured to provide the first heat to the passenger compartment when the passenger compartment has a heating demand and the power battery has a cooling demand.

[0058] The controller 13 is further configured to provide the second heat to the passenger compartment when there is a need for heating the passenger compartment, and / or to provide the second heat to the power battery when there is a need for heating the power battery.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, during vehicle thermal management, the power battery heat exchange circuit can absorb first heat generated during power battery operation, and the motor heat absorption circuit can absorb second heat generated during motor operation. Furthermore, when the passenger compartment requires heating and the power battery requires cooling, the power battery heat exchange circuit can absorb heat from the power battery to cool the battery and provide the absorbed heat to the passenger compartment to heat the cabin. Furthermore, when the passenger compartment requires heating, the motor heat absorption circuit can absorb heat from the motor to cool the motor and provide the absorbed heat to the passenger compartment to heat the cabin. Alternatively, when the power battery requires heating, the heat absorbed from the motor can be provided to the power battery to heat the battery. In this way, when the passenger compartment, power battery, and motor require temperature adjustment, the heat generated by the power battery and / or motor can be effectively utilized, thereby avoiding excessive energy consumption, improving the effectiveness of vehicle thermal management, and enhancing energy utilization.

[0060] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the thermal management system includes: radiator 201, motor heat pipe 202, third water pump 203, high-pressure liquid cooler 204, compressor 205, low-pressure liquid cooler 206, second water pump 207, cold water core 208, hot water core 209, parallel plate heat exchanger 210, first water pump 211, power battery heat pipe 212, six-way proportional valve 213, electronic expansion valve 214, liquid storage dryer 215, heater 216, and multi-way reversing valve 217. The motor heat pipe 202 is arranged in the motor, and the heater 216 can be a water-heated positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the thermal management system further includes a refrigerant circulation circuit, a passenger compartment heating circuit, and a power battery heating circuit. The refrigerant circulation circuit includes a compressor 205, a high-pressure liquid cooler 204, a liquid receiver dryer 215, an electronic expansion valve 214, and a low-pressure liquid cooler 206, all connected by pipes.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the compressor 205 is used to compress the refrigerant in the pipeline; the liquid storage dryer 215 is used to store the refrigerant; the electronic expansion valve 214 is used to adjust the flow of the refrigerant; the low-pressure liquid cooler 206 is used to transfer the first heat from the power battery heat exchange circuit and the second heat from the motor heat absorption circuit to the high-pressure liquid cooler 204; the high-pressure liquid cooler 204 is used to transfer the first heat and / or the second heat to the passenger compartment heating circuit; the high-pressure liquid cooler 204 is also used to transfer the second heat to the power battery heating circuit.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the thermal management system is compatible with both R134-a and R290 refrigerants, and supports heating and switching between multiple heat sources: air, water (motor stall and waste heat, battery waste heat). Furthermore, it can implement multiple heating and dehumidification modes, enabling full-scale heat pump operation, and dual cooling / heating to distribute cooling and heating according to demand load.

[0064] In one possible implementation, the refrigerant circulation loop in the thermal management system is compatible with R134-a refrigerant and R290 refrigerant. By adopting the refrigerant secondary heat exchange system architecture, the refrigerant circulation loop can be made compatible with the two refrigerants. The performance of the heat exchanger of other coolant circuits can be adjusted to adapt to the two refrigerants (for example, R134a is adapted to high-performance and high-cost heat exchangers, and R290 is adapted to standard performance heat exchangers).

[0065] In one possible implementation, the thermal management system can realize heating from multiple heat sources: air source, water source (motor stall and waste heat, battery waste heat). Among them, the air source can be used when the ambient temperature is higher than -18°C and there is a heating demand for either the passenger compartment or the power battery. The water source can be used when the motor has waste heat (the motor has a cooling demand and the outlet water temperature is greater than the ambient temperature) and there is a heating demand for either the passenger compartment or the power battery. When the motor has no waste heat (the motor has no cooling demand and the outlet water temperature is not greater than the ambient temperature) and the motor stall heating conditions are met, the water source can be used when there is a heating demand for either the passenger compartment or the power battery. In addition, the water source can also be used when the power battery has waste heat, that is, the power battery has a heat dissipation demand, and the passenger compartment has a heating demand.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the air source can be understood as performing heat exchange with the air through the radiator 201, and the water source can be understood as performing heat exchange with the motor and / or the power battery.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the present application can realize a variety of heating and dehumidification modes, and the heat pump system can work under all working conditions (high energy efficiency ratio). When the ambient temperature is -5°C or below, the intake air cycle can be an external cycle (proportional to the internal cycle) to introduce the ambient low temperature (corresponding to the low water content under saturated air) air for dehumidification and perform heat pump heating; when the ambient temperature is between -5°C and 20°C, and the target temperature (the required temperature of the passenger compartment or the power battery) is greater than the ambient temperature, the intake air cycle can cool the intake air (high water content) through the refrigeration core to precipitate moisture and dehumidify, while the heating core works to heat the air and adjust the temperature damper to the target temperature to achieve heating, achieving the effect of heat pump heating and dehumidification. When the ambient temperature is greater than 20°C, and the target temperature is greater than the ambient temperature, the intake air cycle can be an internal cycle, which dehumidifies by lowering the temperature of the refrigeration core and precipitating moisture, while the heating core heats the air to the target temperature to achieve heating, achieving the effect of heat pump cooling and dehumidification.

[0068] In one possible implementation, when the passenger compartment and the power battery simultaneously have the same demand (cooling or heating), the cooling / heating capacity can be proportionally distributed and adjusted based on the load requirements of the passenger compartment and the power battery. Based on the heating load requirements of the passenger compartment and the power battery, the corresponding system operating conditions (compressor 205 speed, electronic valve opening, water pump flow) can be requested to produce the corresponding heat, and the proportional water valve opening can be adjusted to achieve heat distribution based on demand. Alternatively, based on the heating load requirements of the passenger compartment and the power battery, the corresponding system operating conditions (compressor 205 speed, electronic valve opening, water pump flow) can be requested to produce the corresponding heat, and the proportional water valve opening can be adjusted to achieve heat distribution based on demand.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, in the refrigerant circulation loop, the compression process is as follows: the compressor 205 draws in the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant after heat exchange from the low-pressure liquid cooler 206, and the compressor 205 performs work on the gaseous refrigerant (consuming electrical energy) to compress it into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. By converting the input electrical energy into the internal energy of the refrigerant (mainly manifested as an increase in temperature and pressure), the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant are increased, allowing it to release heat to the high-pressure liquid cooler 204 during the subsequent condensation process.

[0070] The condensing process is that the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant leaves the compressor 205 and enters the high-pressure liquid cooler 204. In the high-pressure liquid cooler 204, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat to the relatively low-temperature liquid side of the high-pressure liquid cooler 204, and the refrigerant side is gradually cooled and condensed into medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant releases the heat absorbed in the low-pressure liquid cooler 206 and part of the energy obtained in the compression process (mainly latent heat). The heat carried by the refrigerant is discharged to the cooling liquid side for heat dissipation to the outside air or for system heating requirements, and the refrigerant completes the phase change from gas to liquid.

[0071] The throttling / expansion process is that the medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant leaves the high-pressure liquid cooler 204 and flows through the electronic expansion valve 214. The electronic expansion valve 214 produces a throttling effect on the refrigerant (the pressure of the fluid drops sharply when passing through a small hole or narrow channel), and the pressure of the refrigerant drops sharply to become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase mixture. The isenthalpic pressure reduction causes part of the liquid refrigerant to evaporate instantaneously to absorb its own heat, causing the temperature of the remaining refrigerant to drop significantly.

[0072] The evaporation process is that the low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant after throttling enters the low-pressure liquid cooler 206. In the low-pressure liquid cooler 206, the low-temperature liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat of the cooling liquid side and boils and evaporates to completely change into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant to complete the phase change from liquid to gas. The heat is taken away from the cooling liquid side to achieve temperature reduction, and the low-temperature refrigerant will be used to take away the heat source heat of the system refrigeration or waste heat recovery.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the present application can form a refrigerant circulation loop through the connection of the compressor 205, the high-pressure liquid cooler 204, the liquid storage dryer 215, the electronic expansion valve 214 and the low-pressure liquid cooler 206. In this way, through the interaction of the devices included in the refrigerant circulation loop, the heat in the power battery heat exchange loop and / or the motor heat absorption loop can be transferred to the passenger compartment to heat the passenger compartment. When the power battery has heating requirements, the heat in the motor heat absorption loop can be transferred to the power battery heating loop to heat the power battery. Based on this, through the refrigerant circulation loop, the heat in other loops can be transferred to each other, so that when some devices generate heat and other devices need heating, the heat can be reasonably utilized, and unnecessary consumption of electric energy can be avoided.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the power battery heat exchange circuit includes a parallel plate heat exchanger 210, a first water pump 211 and a power battery heat pipe 212 connected by a pipeline; the power battery heat pipe 212 is used to absorb the first heat and transfer the first heat to the parallel plate heat exchanger 210 through the coolant in the pipeline; the parallel plate heat exchanger 210 is used to exchange the first heat to the low-pressure liquid cooler 206, so that the first heat is transferred to the passenger compartment through the refrigerant circulation circuit and the passenger compartment heating circuit; the first water pump 211 is used to drive the flow of coolant in the pipeline.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the present application can form a power battery heat exchange circuit by connecting a parallel plate heat exchanger 210, a first water pump 211, and a power battery heat pipe 212. In this way, the first heat in the power battery absorbed by the power battery heat pipe 212 can be exchanged to the low-pressure liquid cooler 206 through the parallel plate heat exchanger 210, and then the first heat is transferred to the passenger compartment through the refrigerant circulation circuit and the passenger compartment heating circuit to heat the passenger compartment. Based on this, the heat in the power battery can be exchanged to other circuits through the parallel plate heat exchanger 210, and the heat generated by the power battery can be reasonably utilized, thereby avoiding heat waste and unnecessary consumption of electrical energy.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, when cooling the power battery, the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop circulates in the following order: sequentially through the compressor 205, the high-pressure liquid cooler 204, the liquid receiver dryer 215, the electronic expansion valve 214, and the low-pressure liquid cooler 206, and finally flows back from the low-pressure liquid cooler 206 to the compressor 205.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the refrigerant circulation loop is compatible with R134-a refrigerant and R290 refrigerant, and adopts a refrigerant secondary heat exchange system architecture, such as Figure 5As shown, the thermal management system comprises: a radiator 201, a motor heat pipe 202, a third water pump 203, a high-pressure liquid cooler 204, a compressor 205, a low-pressure liquid cooler 206, a second water pump 207, a cold water core 208, a hot water core 209, a parallel plate heat exchanger 210, a first water pump 211, a power battery heat pipe 212, a first three-way proportional valve 501, a second three-way proportional valve 502, an electronic expansion valve 214, a liquid storage dryer 215, a heater 216, a three-way reversing valve 503, a first four-way reversing valve 504, a second four-way reversing valve 505, and a third three-way proportional valve 506.

[0108] In a possible implementation, a multi-way reversing valve in Figure 2 may be obtained by integrating the three-way reversing valve 503, the first four-way reversing valve 504, the second four-way reversing valve 505, and the third three-way proportional valve 506. And a six-way proportional valve in Figure 2 may be obtained by integrating the first three-way proportional valve 501 and the second three-way proportional valve 502.

[0109] For ease of understanding, the thermal management method provided by the present application is specifically introduced below in combination with the accompanying drawings. The thermal management method is applied to a controller in a thermal management system, such as Figure 6 As shown, the thermal management method comprises S601-S602:

[0110] S601, in the case that the passenger compartment has a heating demand and the power battery has a cooling demand, providing the first heat to the passenger compartment.

[0111] S602, in the case that the passenger compartment has a heating demand, providing the second heat to the passenger compartment, and / or in the case that the power battery has a heating demand, providing the second heat to the power battery.

[0112] In some embodiments, the present application can realize multiple heat source heating and switching, wherein the air source heat Wh and the water source heat can include motor stall heat and waste heat Wj and power battery waste heat Wd, so as to determine the total heat W as W=Wh+Wd+Wj. According to the comparison between the total heating demand Qz and the air source heat Wh, the water source heat (motor stall heat and waste heat Wj and power battery waste heat Wd), the energy form corresponding to the case where the energy efficiency ratio is large is selected to determine the current working mode.

[0113] Specifically, the total heating demand can be determined based on the passenger compartment heat demand Qc and the power battery heat demand Qb (i.e., Qz = Qc + Qb). The passenger compartment heat demand Qc can be specifically calculated as follows: Qc = Rw*[(Tn-Tm)*qa*K+(Tw-Tm)*qa*(1-K)], where Rw is a calculation coefficient, Tn is the average passenger compartment temperature, Tw is the outside temperature, Tm is the target temperature (the required passenger compartment temperature, such as the air conditioning setpoint), qa is the passenger compartment recirculation air volume, and K is the internal and external air mixing ratio. The power battery heat demand Qb can be specifically calculated as follows: Qb = Rd*(Tt-Ta)*qb, where Rd is the power battery heating calculation coefficient including specific heat capacity, Tt is the target power battery temperature (i.e., the temperature to which the power battery is to be adjusted), Ta is the actual coolant temperature, and qb is the coolant circulation flow rate.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the air source heat Wh can be obtained according to the refrigerant configuration, a two-dimensional calibration table related to the ambient temperature and the energy efficiency ratio of the heat pump system.

[0115] Table 1

[0116]

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, when the power battery heat demand Qb is less than or equal to 0, it means that the power battery can provide heat, and the power battery waste heat Wd=Qb. Otherwise, when the power battery heat demand Qb is greater than 0, it means that the power battery has a heating demand, the power battery cannot provide heat, and the power battery waste heat Wd=0.

[0118] In one possible implementation, motor stall and waste heat Wj = Rj*(Tt-Ta)*qj; where Rj is a calculation coefficient, Tt is the target temperature of the power battery (also called the allowable operating temperature), Ta is the actual temperature of the coolant, and qj is the coolant circulation flow rate.

[0119] In one possible implementation, Figure 7 As shown in Table 2, multiple conditions can be combined to realize the judgment of multiple modes, thereby realizing the full-condition heat pump working mode.

[0120] Table 2

[0121]

[0122] In one possible implementation, when the passenger compartment needs dehumidification, heating dehumidification and cooling dehumidification can be achieved by controlling the cold water core, hot water core, internal and external air mixing dampers, and hot and cold mixing dampers without switching the refrigerant circuit.

[0123] In one possible implementation, Figure 8 The figure shows the upper limit temperature of refrigeration and dehumidification. When the ambient temperature is -5℃ or below, the air intake cycle is an external cycle (proportional to the internal cycle) to introduce low-temperature ambient air (corresponding to low water content under saturated air) for dehumidification, realizing the heat pump heating mode.

[0124] In one possible implementation, when the ambient temperature is between -5°C and 20°C, and the required temperature (i.e., target temperature) is greater than the ambient temperature, the intake air cycle is to cool the intake air (high water content) through the refrigeration core (i.e., cold water core) to precipitate moisture and dehumidify the air, while the heating core (i.e., hot water core) works to heat the air and adjust the temperature damper to the target temperature to achieve heating, thereby realizing the heat pump heating and dehumidification mode.

[0125] In one possible implementation, when the ambient temperature is greater than 20°C and the target temperature is greater than the ambient temperature, the intake air cycle is an internal cycle, which dehumidifies by lowering the temperature of the refrigeration core and precipitating moisture. At the same time, the heating core works to heat the air to the target temperature to achieve heating, thereby realizing the heat pump refrigeration and dehumidification mode.

[0126] In one possible implementation, the present application can also implement a dual cooling / dual heating mode, where the dual cooling / heating capacity can be allocated based on demand load. In dual cooling mode, the target temperature of the cold water core is the higher of the target passenger compartment air outlet temperature and the target battery temperature. The cooling proportional distribution valve in the six-way water valve is primarily based on the passenger compartment cooling circuit, dynamically adjusting the opening of the water valve corresponding to the power battery cooling circuit to achieve flow regulation and thus regulate the temperature of the power battery cooling circuit.

[0127] Among them, the corresponding relationship between the water valve opening ratio corresponding to the power battery cooling circuit and the temperature difference (the difference between the actual temperature of the cold water core and the target temperature of the cold water core) is shown in Table 3. Among them, "only the passenger compartment" means that the water valve corresponding to the power battery cooling circuit is closed, and all the coolant flows into the passenger compartment cooling circuit. "only the power battery" means that the water valve corresponding to the passenger compartment cooling circuit is closed, and all the coolant flows into the power battery cooling circuit.

[0128] Table 3

[0129]

[0130]

[0131] In one possible implementation, when in dual heating mode, the target temperature of the hot water core is the larger of the target air outlet temperature of the passenger compartment and the target water temperature of the power battery. The heating proportional distribution valve in the six-way water valve is mainly based on the passenger compartment heating circuit, and dynamically adjusts the water valve opening corresponding to the power battery heating circuit to achieve flow regulation to achieve the purpose of adjusting the temperature of the power battery heating circuit.

[0132] Among them, the corresponding relationship between the water valve opening ratio corresponding to the power battery heating circuit and the temperature difference (the difference between the actual temperature of the coolant and the target temperature) is shown in Table 4. Among them, "Only the passenger compartment" means that the water valve corresponding to the power battery heating circuit is closed, and all the coolant flows into the passenger compartment heating circuit. "Only the power battery" means that the water valve corresponding to the passenger compartment heating circuit is closed, and all the coolant flows into the power battery heating circuit.
