Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hybrid power vehicles, in particular to an energy recovery device for a hybrid power vehicle. Background Art
[0002] A hybrid vehicle is a type of vehicle that combines traditional fuel vehicles with pure electric vehicle technology. It is equipped with two power sources at the same time: a thermal power source (usually generated by a traditional gasoline engine or diesel engine) and an electric power source (composed of batteries and electric motors). Hybrid vehicles combine the advantages of traditional fuel engines and electric motors, which can provide sufficient power when needed and recover energy and save energy through electric motors at appropriate times. A large amount of heat will be generated during the energy recovery process of hybrid vehicles, especially in the generator and battery pack. If this heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, it will have a negative impact on the performance and life of the equipment, and may even cause safety issues;
[0003] Existing hybrid vehicle energy recovery devices usually rely on natural wind convection to dissipate heat from the generator and battery pack. However, in high-load or closed environments, this heat dissipation method often cannot meet the heat dissipation requirements of the generator and battery pack, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the generator and battery pack, which in turn affects their working efficiency and life, and may even cause safety issues. We are considering improving and optimizing measures from the following aspects:
[0004] Active Cooling System:
[0005] Design and integrate active cooling systems, such as fans, liquid cooling systems, etc., to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the generator and battery pack.
[0006] The working mode of the cooling system is automatically adjusted according to the working status of the generator and battery pack and the ambient temperature to ensure that it can provide sufficient cooling effect when needed.
[0007] Efficient thermal management system:
[0008] Develop efficient thermal management technologies, such as heat pipes and thermoelectric couplers, to optimize heat distribution and conduction in generators and battery packs.
[0009] The heat dissipation efficiency of the generator and battery pack can be improved by optimizing the heat conduction path, reducing thermal resistance, etc.
[0010] Material Innovation:
[0011] Materials with low thermal resistance and high temperature resistance, such as high thermal conductivity metals and ceramic composite materials, are used to manufacture the heat dissipation structure of generators and battery packs.
[0012] Through material innovation, the thermal stability and heat dissipation performance of the generator and battery pack can be improved.
[0013] Intelligent temperature monitoring and control system:
[0014] Integrated temperature sensors and intelligent control systems to monitor the temperature status of the generator and battery pack in real time.
[0015] Based on the temperature data, the intelligent control system can adjust the working mode of the cooling system to avoid overheating.
[0016] Environmental adaptability design:
[0017] For high loads and closed environments, a more adaptable heat dissipation structure is designed, such as increasing the heat dissipation area, optimizing the heat dissipation channel, etc.
[0018] Environmental adaptability design ensures that the generator and battery pack can maintain stable heat dissipation performance in various harsh environments.
[0019] Modular heat dissipation design:
[0020] The generator and battery pack are designed as a modular structure, and each module has an independent cooling system.
[0021] Modular heat dissipation design can improve the flexibility and scalability of the heat dissipation system and facilitate subsequent maintenance and upgrades.
[0022] Preventive maintenance strategies:
[0023] Develop a preventive maintenance strategy to regularly check and maintain the cooling performance of the generator and battery pack.
[0024] Through preventive maintenance, the heat dissipation problem can be discovered and solved in time to avoid the generator and battery pack from being damaged due to overheating. To this end, a hybrid electric vehicle energy recovery device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0048] In one embodiment, specifically: a heat-conducting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper surface of the battery heat sink 15, a battery pack 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat-conducting frame 22, the lower surface of the battery pack 23 is fitted and connected to the upper surface of the battery heat sink 15, both sides of the front surface and both sides of the rear surface of the heat-conducting frame 22 are fixedly connected to L-shaped brackets 24, and the lower surfaces of the four L-shaped brackets 24 are fixedly connected to cooling fans 26 by screws 25, and the input end of the cooling fan 26 is electrically connected to the output end of the controller 21, and the battery pack 23 is directly cooled by air through the cooling fan 26, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation and cooling of the battery pack 23.
[0049] In one embodiment, specifically: a generator 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor heat sink 16, a temperature sensor 28 is provided at the center of the front surface of the generator 27 and the center of the upper surface of the battery pack 23, and the output end of the temperature sensor 28 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 21. The temperature sensor 28 is used to facilitate real-time monitoring of the real-time temperature of the generator 27 and the battery pack 23, thereby avoiding damage caused by excessive temperature of the generator 27 and the battery pack 23.
[0050] In one embodiment, specifically: a connection box 29 is provided on the upper front surface of the generator 27, the output end of the connection box 29 is electrically connected to a rectifier 31 through a wire 30, the output end of the rectifier 31 is electrically connected to the input end of the battery pack 23, and the alternating current output by the generator 27 is converted into direct current through the rectifier 31, so as to facilitate the storage of electrical energy into the battery pack 23.

When the power of the battery pack 23 reaches a certain level, the controller 21 can control the electromagnetic clutch 33 to disconnect, thereby stopping the operation of the generator 27 to avoid overcharging of the battery. The temperature sensor 28 monitors the temperature of the generator 27 and the battery pack 23 in real time, and transmits the temperature signal to the controller 21. When the temperature is higher than the preset value, the controller 21 automatically circulates the pump 13, the cooling fan 20 and the cooling fan 26. During the startup operation, the coolant in the radiator 11, driven by the circulation pump 13, enters the flow pipe 17 through the liquid outlet pipe 12 and the liquid infusion pipe 14, thereby taking away the heat transferred from the generator 27 and the battery pack 23 to the motor heat sink 16 and the battery heat sink 15, and turns into hot coolant after absorbing the heat, and then flows back to the radiator 11 through the liquid inlet pipe 18 for heat dissipation. In addition, the outer wall of the battery heat sink 15 and the bottom of the motor heat sink 16 are welded with multiple heat dissipation fins 19, which increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
