The price and energy consumption of electric vehicles are receiving increasing attention, becoming important indicators for evaluating their quality. Reducing the price and energy consumption of electric vehicles are inextricably linked to the vehicle's thermal management system. While current thermal management systems for new energy vehicles have achieved component integration and heat reuse, some redundant components still exist, such as backup PTC heaters for battery heating and cabin heating. Although some thermal management systems use heat pump air conditioning by absorbing heat from the air or waste heat from the motor, the heat source is relatively singular, the structure is complex, and the applicability is limited.

[0014] Applications include vehicle charging / driving / parking scenarios in high-temperature environments, including the following control methods:

[0015] A1, Cabin Cooling Control Method: The electric compressor is started, and the refrigerant passes through the LCC heat exchanger (ports ① and ② of port 2). The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the first electronic expansion valve. At this time, the second and third electronic expansion valves are in the closed state. After the refrigerant passes through the first electronic expansion valve and the pressure is reduced, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and evaporates into gas inside the air conditioning evaporator. Then, the air conditioning blower sends the low-temperature air to the cabin, and the cabin temperature decreases. The gaseous refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator and returns to the electric compressor, completing the refrigerant cycle.

[0016] Simultaneously, the fourth water pump is started, and the heat exchange medium passes through the second radiator. The second radiator fan draws in outside air to exchange heat with the second radiator, carrying away the heat of the heat exchange medium and lowering its temperature. The low-temperature heat exchange medium passes through the first and second ports of the second three-way valve, and the third and fourth ports of the LCC heat exchanger. Inside the LCC heat exchanger, the low-temperature heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the high-temperature refrigerant. The refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquefaction. Then, the heat exchange medium returns to the first water pump through the PTC water heater and the third and fourth ports of the first four-way valve, completing the water circulation.

[0017] A2, Battery Cooling Control Method: The electric compressor is started. The refrigerant passes through ports ① and ② of the LCC heat exchanger. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit inside the LCC heat exchanger, releasing heat and condensing into liquid. After the pressure sensor identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the third electronic expansion valve. At this time, the first and second electronic expansion valves are closed. After the refrigerant passes through the third electronic expansion valve and its pressure is reduced, it flows into ports ② and ④ of the second plate heat exchanger. Inside the second plate heat exchanger, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the water circuit and evaporates into gas. Then, it passes through the gas-liquid separator and returns to the electric compressor to complete the cycle.

[0018] Simultaneously, the fourth water pump is started, and the heat exchange medium passes through the second radiator. The second radiator fan draws in outside air to exchange heat with the second radiator, carrying away the heat of the heat exchange medium and lowering its temperature. The low-temperature heat exchange medium passes through the first and second ports of the second three-way valve, and the third and fourth ports of the LCC heat exchanger. Inside the LCC heat exchanger, the low-temperature heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the high-temperature refrigerant. The refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquefaction. Then, the heat exchange medium returns to the first water pump through the PTC water heater and the third and fourth ports of the first four-way valve, completing the water circulation.

[0019] Simultaneously with the start of the electric compressor, the battery circulation loop is activated, controlling the first water pump to start working. The heat exchange medium flows into the first and third ports of the second plate heat exchanger through the third and fourth ports of the second four-way valve. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat at the second plate heat exchanger, absorbing and carrying away the heat in the heat exchange medium, thus turning the heat exchange medium into a low-temperature heat exchange medium. Then, the low-temperature heat exchange medium enters the internal water channel of the power battery through the first and second ports of the first four-way valve, absorbing and carrying away the heat in the power battery, and then returns to the first water pump to complete the circulation and achieve battery cooling.

[0020] A3, simultaneous cabin and battery cooling control method: The electric compressor is started, and the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the first electronic expansion valve and the third electronic expansion valve respectively. At this time, the second electronic expansion valve is in the closed state. Then the refrigerant runs according to the cabin cooling and battery cooling routes respectively to achieve the simultaneous cooling requirements of the cabin and battery.

[0021] A4, Motor / Electrical Control Cooling Method: The second water pump is started, and the heat exchange medium enters the internal water channel of the motor / electric control unit to absorb the heat generated by the DC / DC module, motor controller, and drive motor. Then, the heat exchange medium enters the first radiator through ports ① and ③ of the first three-way valve. The fan of the first radiator starts to draw in outside air to exchange heat with the first radiator. The outside air carries away the heat of the heat exchange medium, reducing its temperature. Then, the heat exchange medium returns to the second water pump through ports ③ and ④ of the third four-way valve, ports ① and ③ of the first plate heat exchanger, and ports ① and ② of the second four-way valve, completing the cycle.

[0084] Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of vehicle charging / driving / parking scenarios under high-temperature conditions.

[0085] Function 1. Cabin cooling: such as Figure 4 As shown, when the electric compressor 1 starts, the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the first electronic expansion valve 8. At this time, the second electronic expansion valve 6 and the third electronic expansion valve 4 are in the closed state. After the refrigerant passes through the first electronic expansion valve 8 and the pressure is reduced, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and evaporates into gas inside the air conditioner evaporator 9. Then, the air conditioner blower 12 sends the low temperature air to the cabin, and the cabin temperature drops. The gaseous refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator 10 and returns to the electric compressor 1, completing the refrigerant cycle.

[0086] Simultaneously, the fourth water pump 18 starts, and the heat exchange medium passes through the second radiator 19. The second radiator fan 20 draws in outside air to exchange heat with the second radiator 19, carrying away the heat of the heat exchange medium and lowering its temperature. The low-temperature heat exchange medium passes through ports ① and ② of the second three-way valve 15, and ports ③ and ④ of the LCC heat exchanger. Inside the LCC heat exchanger 2, the low-temperature heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the high-temperature refrigerant, causing the refrigerant to release heat and condense. Then, the heat exchange medium returns to the first water pump 18 through the PTC water heater 16 and ports ③ and ④ of the first four-way valve 17, completing the water circulation. The high-temperature refrigerant is liquefied by the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and vaporizes at the air conditioning evaporator 9, achieving cabin cooling.

[0087] Function 2. Battery cooling: such as Figure 5 As shown, when the electric compressor 1 starts, the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the third electronic expansion valve 4. At this time, the first electronic expansion valve 8 and the second electronic expansion valve 6 are in the closed state. After the refrigerant passes through the third electronic expansion valve 4 and the pressure is reduced, it flows into the second port ② and the fourth port ④ of the second plate heat exchanger 5. The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the water circuit and evaporates into gas inside the second plate heat exchanger 5. Then, it passes through the gas-liquid separator 10 and returns to the electric compressor 1 to complete the cycle.

[0088] Simultaneously, the fourth water pump 18 starts, and the heat exchange medium passes through the second radiator 19. The second radiator fan 20 draws in outside air to exchange heat with the second radiator 19, carrying away the heat of the heat exchange medium and lowering its temperature. The low-temperature heat exchange medium passes through the first and second ports of the second three-way valve 15, and the third and fourth ports of the LCC heat exchanger. Inside the LCC heat exchanger 2, the low-temperature heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the high-temperature refrigerant. The refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquefaction. Then, the heat exchange medium returns to the first water pump 18 through the PTC water heater 16 and the third and fourth ports of the first four-way valve 17, completing the water circulation.

[0089] Simultaneously with the start of the electric compressor 1, the battery circulation loop is activated, and the first water pump 31 begins operation. The heat exchange medium flows through ports ③ and ④ of the second four-way valve 22 into ports ① and ③ of the second plate heat exchanger 5. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat at the second plate heat exchanger 5, absorbing and carrying away heat from the heat exchange medium, thus transforming it into a low-temperature heat exchange medium. This low-temperature heat exchange medium then enters the internal water channel of the power battery 32 through ports ① and ② of the first four-way valve 17, absorbing and carrying away heat from the power battery 32, before returning to the first water pump 31, completing the circulation and achieving battery cooling. The first expansion tank 33 serves to replenish water and vent air from the battery circulation water circuit.

[0090] Function 3. Simultaneous cooling of the cabin and battery: such as Figure 6 As shown, the electric compressor 1 starts, and the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the first electronic expansion valve 8 and the third electronic expansion valve 4 respectively. At this time, the second electronic expansion valve 6 is in the closed state. Then the refrigerant runs according to the above-mentioned cabin cooling and battery cooling routes to achieve the simultaneous cooling needs of the cabin and the battery, and achieve the goal of integrated coupling of refrigeration system components and improved energy utilization efficiency.

[0091] The refrigerant in LCC heat exchanger 2 condenses and liquefies, and its heat is carried away by the heat exchange medium and exchanged with the air at the second radiator 19, where the heat is released into the air.

[0092] Function 4. Motor / Electrical Control Cooling: The second water pump 23 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the internal water channel of the motor / electrical control unit to absorb the heat generated by the DC / DC module 24, MCU (motor controller) 25, and drive motor 26. Then, the heat exchange medium enters the first radiator 28 through the first three-way valve 27 (ports ① and ③). The first radiator fan 29 starts to draw in outside air and exchange heat with the first radiator 28. The outside air carries away the heat of the heat exchange medium, reducing its temperature. Then, the heat exchange medium returns to the second water pump 23 through the third four-way valve 21 (ports ③ and ④), the first plate heat exchanger 7 (ports ① and ③), and the second four-way valve 22 (ports ① and ②), completing the cycle. The first radiator 28 exchanges heat with the outside air to reduce the temperature of the circulating medium, thereby reducing the temperature of the motor / electrical control components. The second expansion tank 30 serves to replenish water and release air.

[0095] Mode 1: such as Figure 7 As shown, the third water pump 14 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13. The blower 12 draws air into the air conditioning unit 13, and the temperature rises after being heated by the heating core 11. Then the heated air enters the cabin, and the cabin temperature rises. The heat exchange medium enters the PTC water heater 16 through the ③ and ④ ports of the LCC heat exchanger 2 to absorb the heat generated by the heater consuming electricity, and the temperature rises again. The high-temperature heat exchange medium returns to the third water pump 14 through the ③ and ④ ports of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, the ① and ③ ports of the second three-way valve 15, and the ① and ② ports of the third four-way valve 21, completing the cycle. The heat generated by the PTC water heater 16 consuming electricity is exchanged to the cabin to achieve cabin heating.

[0096] Mode 2: such as Figure 8As shown, the third water pump 14 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13. The blower 12 draws air into the air conditioning unit 13 and the temperature rises after being heated by the heating core 11. Then the heated air enters the cabin, and the cabin temperature rises. The heat exchange medium enters the ③ port and the ④ port of the LCC heat exchanger 2. At this time, the heat generated by the condensation and liquefaction of the high-temperature refrigerant here heats the heat exchange medium into a high-temperature heat exchange medium. The high-temperature medium passes through the PTC water heater 16, the ③ port and the ④ port of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, the ① port and the ③ port of the second three-way valve 15, the ① port and the ② port of the third four-way valve 21, and returns to the third water pump 14 to complete the cycle.

[0097] Simultaneously, the electric compressor 1 starts, and the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the second electronic expansion valve 6. At this time, the first electronic expansion valve 8 and the third electronic expansion valve 4 are in the closed state. After the refrigerant passes through the second electronic expansion valve 6 and the pressure is reduced, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the heat exchange medium in the first plate heat exchanger 7 and evaporates into gas. The gaseous refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator 10 and returns to the electric compressor 1, completing the refrigerant cycle.

[0098] Simultaneously, the second water pump 23 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the first radiator 28 through the DC / DC module 24, MCU (motor controller) 25, drive motor 26, and ports ① and ③ of the first three-way valve 27. The first radiator fan 29 starts to draw in outside air to exchange heat with the first radiator 28. The outside air heats the heat exchange medium, raising its temperature. Then, the heat exchange medium passes through ports ③ and ④ of the third four-way valve 21...

[0099] In the first plate heat exchanger 7, through ports ① and ③, the heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the liquid refrigerant inside the first plate heat exchanger 7. The refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates into a gaseous state, lowering the temperature of the heat exchange medium. Then, it returns to the second water pump 23 through ports ① and ② of the second four-way valve 22, completing the circulation. The first radiator 28 absorbs ambient heat through heat exchange with the ambient air, and then, through the first plate heat exchanger 7 and the LCC heat exchanger 2, the heat is transferred to the cabin-side water circuit to achieve cabin heating.

[0100] Mode 3: such as Figure 9As shown, the third water pump 14 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13. The blower 12 draws air into the air conditioning unit 13 and the temperature rises after being heated by the heating core 11. Then the heated air enters the cabin, and the cabin temperature rises. The heat exchange medium enters the ③ port and the ④ port of the LCC heat exchanger 2. At this time, the heat generated by the condensation and liquefaction of the high-temperature refrigerant here heats the heat exchange medium into a high-temperature heat exchange medium. The high-temperature medium passes through the PTC water heater 16, the ③ port and the ④ port of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, the ① port and the ③ port of the second three-way valve 15, the ① port and the ② port of the third four-way valve 21, and returns to the third water pump 14 to complete the cycle.

[0101] Simultaneously, the electric compressor 1 starts, and the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the third electronic expansion valve 4. At this time, the first electronic expansion valve 8 and the second electronic expansion valve 6 are in the closed state. After the refrigerant passes through the third electronic expansion valve 4 and the pressure is reduced, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the heat exchange medium in the second plate heat exchanger 5 and evaporates into gas. The gaseous refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator 10 and returns to the electric compressor 1, completing the refrigerant cycle.

[0102] Simultaneously, the battery circulation loop is activated, and the first water pump 31 starts working. The heat exchange medium flows through ports ③ and ④ of the second four-way valve 22 into ports ① and ③ of the second plate heat exchanger 5. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat at the second plate heat exchanger 5, absorbing and carrying away the heat from the heat exchange medium, thus transforming it into a low-temperature heat exchange medium. Then, the low-temperature heat exchange medium enters the internal water channel of the power battery 32 through ports ① and ② of the first four-way valve 17, absorbing and carrying away the heat from the power battery 32, raising the temperature of the heat exchange medium. It then returns to the first water pump 31, completing the cycle. This invention utilizes the heat generated during battery charging, and then transports the heat to the cabin-side water channel through the second plate heat exchanger 5 and the LCC heat exchanger 2 to achieve cabin heating.

[0103] Function 6. Battery heating:

[0104] Mode 1: such as Figure 10As shown, the first water pump 31 is turned on. The heat exchange medium passes through the third and fourth ports of the second four-way valve 22, the first and third ports of the second plate heat exchanger 5, the first and fourth ports of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, and the first and second ports of the second three-way valve 15. The heat exchange medium enters the PTC water heater 16 to absorb the heat generated by the heater consuming electricity and its temperature rises. The high-temperature heat exchange medium passes through the third and second ports of the first four-way valve 17 and enters the internal water channel of the power battery 32. The high-temperature heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the power battery, the temperature of the heat exchange medium decreases, and the temperature of the power battery increases. Then it returns to the first water pump 31 to complete the cycle. The heat generated by the PTC water heater 16 consuming electricity is exchanged with the power battery to achieve battery heating.

[0105] Mode 2: such as Figure 11 As shown, the first water pump 31 is turned on. The heat exchange medium passes through the ③ and ④ ports of the second four-way valve 22, the ① and ③ ports of the second plate heat exchanger 5, the ① and ④ ports of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, the ① and ② ports of the second three-way valve 15, and enters the ③ and ④ ports of the LCC heat exchanger 2. At this time, the heat generated by the condensation and liquefaction of the high-temperature refrigerant here heats the heat exchange medium into a high-temperature heat exchange medium. The high-temperature medium passes through the PTC water heater 16, the ③ and ② ports of the first four-way valve 17, and enters the internal water channel of the power battery 32. The high-temperature heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the power battery, the temperature of the heat exchange medium decreases, the power battery temperature increases, and then returns to the first water pump 31 to complete the cycle.

[0106] Simultaneously, the electric compressor 1 starts, and the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the second electronic expansion valve 6. At this time, the first electronic expansion valve 8 and the third electronic expansion valve 4 are in the closed state. After the refrigerant passes through the second electronic expansion valve 6 and the pressure is reduced, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the heat exchange medium in the first plate heat exchanger 7 and evaporates into gas. The gaseous refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator 10 and returns to the electric compressor 1, completing the refrigerant cycle.

[0107] Simultaneously, the second water pump 23 starts working. The heat exchange medium enters the first radiator 28 through the DC / DC module 24, MCU (motor controller) 25, drive motor 26, and ports ① and ③ of the first three-way valve 27. The first radiator fan 29 starts to draw in outside air to exchange heat with the first radiator 28. The outside air heats the heat exchange medium, raising its temperature. Then, the heat exchange medium passes through ports ③ and ④ of the third four-way valve 21 and ports ① and ③ of the first plate heat exchanger 7. Inside the first plate heat exchanger 7, the heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates into a gaseous state, lowering the temperature of the heat exchange medium. Then, it returns to the second water pump 23 through ports ① and ② of the second four-way valve 22, completing the cycle. The first radiator 28 absorbs ambient heat through heat exchange with the ambient air, and then the heat is transferred to the battery-side water circuit through the first plate heat exchanger 7 and LCC heat exchanger 2, thus raising the battery temperature.

[0108] Function 7. Simultaneous heating of the cabin and battery:

[0109] like Figure 12 As shown, the third water pump 14 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13. The blower 12 draws air into the air conditioning unit 13, and after being heated by the heating core 11, the temperature rises. Then, the heated air enters the cabin, and the cabin temperature rises. The heat exchange medium enters the PTC water heater 16 through the ③ and ④ ports of the LCC heat exchanger 2 to absorb the heat generated by the heater's power consumption, and the temperature rises again. The high-temperature heat exchange medium enters the PTC water heater 16 through the ③ and ② ports of the first four-way valve 17. The water enters the internal water channel of the power battery 32, where the high-temperature heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the power battery, causing the temperature of the heat exchange medium to decrease and the temperature of the power battery to increase. Then, it flows through the first water pump 31, the third and fourth ports of the second four-way valve 22, the first and third ports of the second plate heat exchanger 5, the first and fourth ports of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, the first and third ports of the second three-way valve 15, and the first and second ports of the third four-way valve 21, returning to the third water pump 14 to complete the cycle. The heat generated by the PTC water heater 16, which consumes electricity, is exchanged with the cabin and battery, achieving simultaneous heating of both.

[0110] Function 8. Battery cooling: See Figure 10As shown, the first water pump 31 is turned on. The heat exchange medium passes through ports ③ and ④ of the second four-way valve 22, ports ① and ③ of the second plate heat exchanger 5, ports ① and ④ of the first four-way valve 17, and the fourth water pump 18. The heat exchange medium then passes through the second radiator 19. The second radiator fan 20 draws in outside air to exchange heat with the second radiator 19, carrying away the heat of the heat exchange medium and lowering its temperature. The low-temperature heat exchange medium passes through ports ① and ② of the second three-way valve 15, ports ③ and ④ of the LCC heat exchanger, and the PTC water heater 16, passing through ports ③ and ② of the first four-way valve 17, and enters the internal water channel of the power battery 32. The heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the power battery, the temperature of the low-temperature heat exchange medium rises, and the temperature of the power battery drops. Then it returns to the first water pump 31, completing the cycle.

[0113] Mode 1: such as Figure 13 As shown, the third water pump 14 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13. The blower 12 draws air into the air conditioning unit 13, and after being heated by the heating core 11, the temperature rises. Then, the heated air enters the cabin, and the cabin temperature rises. The heat exchange medium passes through the ③ and ④ ports of the LCC heat exchanger 2, the PTC water heater 16, the ③ and ④ ports of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, the ① and ③ ports of the second three-way valve 15, and the ① and ③ ports of the third four-way valve 21. The heat exchange medium enters the internal water channel of the motor / electric control unit through the fourth port, the first and third ports of the first plate heat exchanger 7, the first and second ports of the second four-way valve 22, the second water pump 23, and absorbs the heat generated by the DC / DC module 24, the MCU (motor controller) 25, and the drive motor 26. The high-temperature heat exchange medium returns to the third water pump 14 through the first three-way valve 27 and the third four-way valve 21, completing the circulation. The heat generated by the operation of the motor / electric control unit is introduced into the cabin to achieve cabin heating.

[0114] Mode 2: such as Figure 13As shown, the third water pump 14 starts working, and the heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13. The blower 12 draws air into the air conditioning unit 13 and the temperature rises after being heated by the heating core 11. Then the heated air enters the cabin, and the cabin temperature rises. The heat exchange medium enters the LCC heat exchanger through the ③ and ④ ports of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant condenses and liquefies inside the LCC heat exchanger, releasing heat to heat the low-temperature heat exchange medium. The high-temperature heat exchange medium returns to the third water pump 14 through the PTC water heater 16, the ③ and ④ ports of the first four-way valve 17, the fourth water pump 18, the second radiator 19, the ① and ③ ports of the second three-way valve 15, and the ① and ② ports of the third four-way valve 21, completing the cycle.

The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the second electronic expansion valve 6. At this time, the first electronic expansion valve 8 and the third electronic expansion valve 4 are in the closed state. After the refrigerant passes through the second electronic expansion valve 6 and the pressure is reduced, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the heat exchange medium in the first plate heat exchanger 7 and evaporates into gas. The gaseous refrigerant passes through the gas-liquid separator 10 and returns to the electric compressor 1, completing the refrigerant cycle.

The high-temperature heat exchange medium passes through the first three-way valve 27 (ports ① and ②), the third four-way valve 21 (ports ③ and ④), and the first plate heat exchanger 7 (ports ① and ③). Inside the first plate heat exchanger 7, the heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant evaporates, absorbs heat, and becomes gaseous, lowering the temperature of the heat exchange medium. Then, it returns to the second water pump 23 through the second four-way valve 22 (ports ① and ②), completing the cycle.

It heats the heat exchange medium and exchanges heat with the power battery. The temperature of the heat exchange medium decreases and the temperature of the power battery increases. Then it returns to the first water pump 31 to complete the cycle.

[0120] Simultaneously, the electric compressor 1 starts, and the refrigerant passes through the first port ① and the second port ② of the LCC heat exchanger 2. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the water circuit in the LCC heat exchanger 2, and the refrigerant releases heat and condenses into liquid. After the pressure sensor 3 identifies that the pressure value is normal, the liquid refrigerant flows to the second electronic expansion valve 6.

Then, it returns to the second water pump 23 through ports ① and ② of the second four-way valve 22, completing the cycle.

[0122] Function 11. Simultaneous heating of the cabin and battery: such as Figure 15 As shown, the second water pump 23 is in operation. The heat exchange medium enters the internal water channel of the motor / electric control unit, absorbing the heat generated by the DC / DC module 24, MCU (motor controller) 25, and drive motor 26. The high-temperature heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13 through the first three-way valve 27 (ports ① and ②), the third four-way valve 21 (ports ③ and ②), and the third water pump 14. The high-temperature heat exchange medium enters the air conditioning heating core 11 of the air conditioning unit 13. The blower 12 draws air into the air conditioning unit 13, and the temperature rises after being heated by the heating core 11. Then the heated air enters the cabin, raising the cabin temperature.
