[0057] Optionally, in a possible embodiment, the refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, an evaporator 14 and a condenser 11. The outlet of the compressor is communicated with the second inlet of the evaporator 14, the second outlet of the evaporator 14 is communicated with the second inlet of the condenser 11, and the second outlet of the condenser 11 is communicated with the inlet of the compressor.

[0058] Optionally, continue to see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first three-way valve 31, the second three-way valve 32, the third three-way valve 33, the fourth three-way valve 34, the first four-way valve 41, the second four-way valve 42, the first water pump 21, the second water pump 22 and the third water pump 23 are arranged in the middle of the indirect heat pump system, and the condenser 11, the motor heat exchanger 12, the radiator 13, the evaporator 14, the cold core 15, the warm core 16 and the battery heat exchanger 17 are arranged around the first three-way valve 31, the second three-way valve 32, the third three-way valve 33, the fourth three-way valve 34, the first four-way valve 41, the second four-way valve 42, the first water pump 21, the second water pump 22 and the third water pump 23 in sequence. Such an arrangement can improve the structural compactness of the indirect heat pump system.

[0059] The indirect heat pump system can switch between eight working modes according to different usage requirements by controlling the on-off conditions of the first three-way valve 31, the second three-way valve 32, the third three-way valve 33, the fourth three-way valve 34, the first four-way valve 41, and the second four-way valve 42.

[0060] The eight working modes are single passenger compartment cooling mode, single battery cooling mode, passenger compartment and battery dual cooling mode, passenger compartment and battery dual heating mode, motor waste heat recovery heating mode, battery waste heat recovery heating mode, dehumidification mode and radiator defrost mode.

[0061] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an indirect heat pump system in a single passenger compartment cooling mode. At this time, the battery heat exchanger 17, the heating core 16, the first water pump 21 and the first three-way valve 31 are turned off, and the condenser 11, the motor heat exchanger 12, the radiator 13, the evaporator 14, the cooling core 15, the second water pump 22, the third water pump 23, the second three-way valve 32, the third three-way valve 33, the fourth three-way valve 34, the first four-way valve 41 and the second four-way valve 42 are started. In addition, the first interface a and the third interface c of the second three-way valve 32 are connected, the first interface a and the fourth interface d of the first four-way valve 41 are connected, the third interface c and the second interface b of the third three-way valve 33 are connected, the first interface a and the third interface c of the second four-way valve 42 are connected, the second interface b and the fourth interface d of the second four-way valve 42 are connected, and the first interface a and the second interface b of the fourth three-way valve 34 are connected.

[0062] After such control, the working states of the refrigerant circuit and the coolant circuit are:

[0063] Refrigerant circuit: The refrigerant releases heat to the coolant at the condenser 11, causing the coolant temperature to rise, and the refrigerant absorbs heat from the coolant at the evaporator 14, causing the coolant to cool down.

[0064] Coolant circuit: includes heat dissipation circuit and cabin cooling circuit.

[0065] In the heat dissipation circuit, the temperature of the coolant increases after absorbing the heat of the refrigerant in the condenser 11. The high-temperature coolant flowing out of the first outlet of the condenser 11 passes through the first interface a of the second three-way valve 32, the third interface c of the second three-way valve 32, the first interface a of the first four-way valve 41, the fourth interface d of the first four-way valve 41, the third interface c of the third three-way valve 33, and the second interface b of the third three-way valve 33, and then enters the radiator 13 for heat dissipation. The coolant cooled by the radiator 13 enters the motor heat exchanger 12 to cool the motor. The heated coolant passes through the first interface a of the second four-way valve 42 and the third interface c of the second four-way valve 42 and enters the second water pump 22, and returns to the condenser 11 under the transportation of the second water pump 22. With such an arrangement, the motor can be cooled during the heat dissipation process, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency.

[0066] In the cabin refrigeration circuit, the coolant absorbs heat in the evaporator 14 and its temperature is lowered. The low-temperature coolant flowing out from the first outlet of the evaporator 14 passes through the first interface a of the fourth three-way valve 34 and the second interface b of the fourth three-way valve 34 in turn into the cold core 15. The low-temperature coolant in the cold core 15 exchanges heat with the passenger compartment. The heated coolant passes through the second interface b of the second four-way valve 42 and the fourth interface d of the second four-way valve 42 in turn into the third water pump 23, and returns to the evaporator 14 under the transportation of the third water pump 23.

[0067] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an indirect heat pump system in a single battery cooling mode. At this time, the warm core 16 and the cold core 15 are turned off, and the battery heat exchanger 17, the condenser 11, the motor heat exchanger 12, the radiator 13, the evaporator 14, the first water pump 21, the second water pump 22, the third water pump 23, the first three-way valve 31, the second three-way valve 32, the third three-way valve 33, the fourth three-way valve 34, the first four-way valve 41 and the second four-way valve 42 are started. The first interface a and the third interface c of the second three-way valve 32 are connected, the first interface a and the fourth interface d of the first four-way valve 41 are connected, the third interface c and the second interface b of the third three-way valve 33 are connected, the first interface a and the third interface c of the second four-way valve 42 are connected, the first interface a and the third interface c of the fourth three-way valve 34 are connected, the second interface b and the third interface c of the first four-way valve 41 are connected, the first interface a and the second interface b of the first three-way valve 31 are connected, and the second interface b and the fourth interface d of the second four-way valve 42 are connected.

[0068] After such control, the working states of the refrigerant circuit and the coolant circuit are:

[0069] Refrigerant circuit: The refrigerant releases heat to the coolant at the condenser 11, causing the coolant temperature to rise, and the refrigerant absorbs heat from the coolant at the evaporator 14, causing the coolant to cool down.

[0070] Coolant circuit: includes heat dissipation circuit and battery cooling circuit.

[0071] In the heat dissipation circuit, the temperature of the coolant increases after absorbing the heat of the refrigerant in the condenser 11.
