[0201] (3) The air conditioning system, power battery system, charging and distribution system, drive motor and drive motor controller are arranged in parallel, which has the advantages of flexibility and variability. Each component has an independent refrigerant circuit and has no influence on each other. The cooling pipeline of the component can be flexibly modified or the cooling method can be changed according to the actual application without affecting other components.

[0202] (4) By switching on and off the solenoid valve and electronic expansion valve, the direction of the power battery refrigerant circuit is changed. Therefore, the refrigerant heated by the power battery can be used for charging and distributing power, driving the motor controller, and cooling the drive motor, which can improve the utilization rate of the refrigerant and reduce power consumption.

[0203] (5) An energy storage device is integrated into the charging and distribution / drive motor controller / drive motor thermal management system to solve the problem of insufficient cooling power under high-power conditions; and when the demand for the vehicle thermal management system is low, the energy storage device is used to provide cooling power for the charging and distribution / drive motor controller / drive motor, thereby improving the vehicle's endurance and reducing the long-term low-power working time of the compressor, thereby extending the life of the compressor.
