Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of liquid-cooled thermal management system components, specifically an integrated six-way water valve. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles that use electric motors as one of their driving forces generate a lot of heat in their battery packs, motors, and electric drive controllers. In high-temperature environments, heat dissipation is required; otherwise, it will affect the performance, safety, and lifespan of the new energy vehicle. In low-temperature environments, the battery pack's range is easily affected. Therefore, in low-temperature environments, the battery pack of new energy vehicles needs to be insulated / heated. At the same time, the driver's cab of new energy vehicles also has temperature control requirements (i.e., air conditioning cooling and heating).

[0003] Based on the above considerations, new energy vehicles are usually equipped with thermal management systems to achieve temperature control in the aforementioned temperature control zones. Among them, liquid-cooled thermal management systems are a widely used thermal management system solution in the field of new energy vehicles.

[0004] In existing liquid-cooled thermal management systems, to guide the liquid cooling medium to multiple temperature-controlled areas such as battery packs, motors, electric drive controllers, and air conditioners, multiple electrically controlled valves (such as two-way valves, three-way valves, and four-way valves) are required to be connected in series or parallel through liquid cooling medium pipelines to achieve loop switching and flow regulation of the liquid cooling medium. This presents the following technical problems: 1. Low integration and large space occupation: Multiple electronically controlled valves are scattered and require independent mounting brackets and a large number of connecting pipes, resulting in a large size and weight of the liquid-cooled thermal management system, occupying a large amount of engine compartment space, increasing the weight of the whole vehicle, which contradicts the requirement of compact layout of the vehicle engine compartment, and also increases the complexity of vehicle assembly.

[0005] 2. Superimposed flow resistance and high energy consumption: The series / parallel structure of multiple electronically controlled valves means that the liquid cooling medium must pass through multiple pipe interfaces, valve ports and valve bodies during the flow process. The flow resistance loss is significantly superimposed, which requires the water pump to increase its output power to ensure the flow demand, directly increasing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and restricting the driving range of new energy vehicles.

[0006] 3. High risk of leakage: The series / parallel structure of multiple electrically controlled valves has a large number of sealing nodes and pipe interfaces. The probability of sealing failure increases exponentially with the number of sealing nodes and pipe interfaces, which can easily lead to leakage of liquid cooling media.

[0007] 4. Complex control: The coordinated control logic of multiple solenoid valves is complex, requiring precise matching of the action sequence of each solenoid valve. This can easily lead to problems such as response lag and action conflict, which in turn can cause imbalance in the liquid-cooled thermal management system, affecting stability and service life.

[0008] 5. High cost and maintenance costs: The series / parallel structure of multiple electronically controlled valves not only increases the cost of parts procurement but also the cost of assembly time. In subsequent maintenance, the multi-component structure makes fault diagnosis more difficult and the repair cycle longer, which further increases the total life cycle cost of the vehicle.

[0009] In summary, how to integrate multiple electronically controlled valves into a single valve body to achieve precise multi-loop control and solve several technical problems in existing technologies has become an urgent technical issue to be addressed in the field of liquid-cooled thermal management systems for new energy vehicles.
