Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a vehicle heat exchange system, in particular to a multi-body heat exchanger and a heat exchange system. Background Art

[0002] The heat exchanger for automobiles has gone through four generations of development. The first generation is the round tube fin heat exchanger, which has been eliminated because the refrigerant in the core of the round tube is difficult to heat exchange and the efficiency is extremely low. The second generation is the serpentine flat tube fin heat exchanger, which solves the problem of heat dissipation of the media in the core of the pipeline, but the process pressure is too long and the loss is large, so it has also been eliminated. The third generation is the straight waterfall fin heat exchanger, and the flat tube shortens the process. It is still the mainstream of automobile heat exchangers. The fourth generation is the plate exchanger. Due to the increase in the heat exchange area of ​​the media, the heat exchange efficiency is greatly improved and the volume is reduced. However, due to the strong traditional industrial chain of the third-generation heat exchanger and the low cost sharing, the fourth-generation plate heat exchanger has only just begun to be used in electric drives.

[0003] The current plate heat exchangers use two media for heat exchange, and their functions are very limited. For those situations where the cooling media used by the drive motor and the electronic control are different, the refrigerant cannot be connected for cooling. For example, the electronic control uses coolant, the motor uses cooling oil, and then the refrigerant is added, which means there are three media. The existing plate heat exchanger cannot meet the heat exchange requirements of multiple media such as coolant, cooling oil and refrigerant at the same time, resulting in insufficient heat dissipation capacity of the electric drive, which seriously affects the performance of the electric drive, and may even cause the motor to overheat and power outage.

[0004] CN219494943U discloses a plate heat exchanger for new energy vehicles, including a front end plate and a rear end plate, which are arranged opposite to each other, and a vertical pole is arranged at the rear end of the rear end plate, and a guide rod is fixed to the top of the vertical pole, the front end plate and the rear end plate, and a plate is arranged between the front end plate and the rear end plate, and the plate includes multiple groups of heat dissipation plates, and each group of heat dissipation plates is provided with a corrugated groove on the outside, and an empty groove structure is provided at its four corners, and a port is fixed at the front end of the empty groove structure, and a plug is provided on the back of the empty groove structure, and a card slot is fixed in the middle of the back. This is a typical two-media heat exchanger, and its two pairs of diagonal holes are one in and one out to realize the heat exchange of two media. The core invention of this patent is the bolt structure that is easy to disassemble and clean, which is used in those occasions where the heat exchange medium lacks filtering conditions. This patent cannot meet the heat exchange needs of multiple media at the same time. Utility Model Content

[0090] ④ The battery pack needs to be heated, the multi-body heat exchanger needs to be cooled, and the passenger compartment exchanger needs to be cooled - the 17th and 19th working conditions in the application solution function table can meet these requirements.

[0091] ⑤ The battery pack needs to be heated, the multi-body heat exchanger needs to be cooled, and the passenger compartment exchanger also needs to be heated - the 18th and 21st working conditions in the application solution function table can meet these requirements.

[0092] ⑥ The battery pack needs to be heated, the multi-body heat exchanger needs to be cooled, and the passenger compartment exchanger needs to be kept warm - this can be met by the 20th operating condition in the application solution function table.

[0096] Taking the first working condition in the table as an example, the first valve V1, the third valve V3, the fifth valve V5, the sixth throttle valve E6, the fourth throttle valve E4, and the second throttle valve E2 are all fully opened, the second valve V2, the fourth valve V4, the seventh valve V7, the eighth valve V8, and the sixth valve V6 are all fully closed, and the fifth throttle valve E5, the third throttle valve E3, and the first throttle valve E1 are at throttling openings. At this time, the cooling air generated by the compressor 71 enters the first pipeline P1 from the compressor 71, and then because the second valve V2 is completely closed, the cooling air does not pass through the first pipeline P1 after the second valve V2, and will flow through the third pipeline P3, the front exchanger 73, the seventh pipeline P7, the multi-body heat exchanger, the sixth pipeline P6, the passenger compartment exchanger 74, the fifth pipeline P5, the battery pack cooling pipeline in sequence, and then flows through the first pipeline P1 between the fifth valve V5 and the second valve V2, and flows through the fourth pipeline P4 through the third valve V3. Since the fourth valve V4 is closed, it will flow back to the compressor 71 from the second pipeline P2. Under the above-mentioned first working condition, the cooling air of the compressor 71 flows through the front exchanger 73, the multi-body heat exchanger, the passenger compartment exchanger and the battery pack cooling flow channel 72, which can meet the cooling requirements of the battery pack, the multi-body heat exchanger and the passenger compartment exchanger.
