A cold plate 6 and a fan 7 are arranged inside the heat exchanger 5; both ends of the cold plate 6 are connected to the heat pipe, a coolant flow channel is arranged inside the cold plate 6, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are arranged outside the coolant flow channel, and the fan 7 is closely attached to the heat dissipation fins; the coolant flow channel of the cold plate 6 is connected to a kettle 8 through a heat pipe, and the kettle 8 is used to initially fill the system with coolant and replenish the coolant. The coolant circulates in the entire system through the water pump 4. After being cooled by the heat exchanger 5, the coolant flows into the electrical cabinet 1 to cool the heating module 2 (the cooling priority of the heating module 2 is higher than that of the motor 2), and then flows into the motor 3 to cool the motor 3.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of heating modules 2 and a water cooling plate 10 are arranged in the electrical cabinet 1; the heating end of the heating module 2 is closely attached to the water cooling plate 10, and the water inlet and outlet 9 of the water cooling plate 10 are connected to the heat conducting pipe.

[0023] Specifically, in one embodiment, the motor 3 is a water-cooled motor with a heat conduction channel pre-buried inside; the water inlet of the heat conduction channel inside the motor 3 is connected to the water outlet of the electrical cabinet 1, and the water outlet of the heat conduction channel inside the motor 3 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 4.

[0024] Specifically, in one embodiment, the heat pipe is a hose for easy movement; a three-way joint is used at the connection between the heat pipe and each component; the water cooling plate 10 inside the electrical cabinet 1 is made of aluminum or copper, and the cold plate 6 inside the heat exchanger 5 is made of aluminum or copper.

[0025] Specifically, in one embodiment, the kettle 8 is located at a higher level than the heat exchanger 5, and the height difference between the kettle 8 and the heat exchanger 5 is used to inject coolant into the system; the size of the kettle 8 is adjusted and replaced according to the heat dissipation required by the system.

[0026] Specifically, in one embodiment, the coolant is prepared by mixing 30%-60% ethylene glycol with pure water.

[0027] Specifically, in one embodiment, the electrical cabinet 1 is made of sheet metal.

[0028] Specifically, in one embodiment, the controller is connected to the temperature sensors inside the water pump 4 and the heat exchanger 5, monitors the system temperature in real time, and adjusts the flow rate of the water pump 4 and the speed of the fan 7 according to the temperature sensor value. The specific process is as follows:

[0029] (1) Calculation of system heat generation

[0030] Calculate the heat generated by each heating module 2 in the electrical cabinet 1, the formula is P = I2r; determine the maximum allowable temperature T of each heating module 2 max ;

[0031] (2) Water cooling system design

[0032] Set the ambient temperature T, select the coolant (50% ethylene glycol aqueous solution in this example), and calculate the flow of the main waterway and each branch according to the required flow of the heating module 2 and the waterway diagram;

[0033] According to the number and relative positions of the cooled equipment (heating modules 2), the pipe length and the number of joints are designed according to the water circuit schematic diagram; the standard heat exchanger 5 and water pump 4 are selected based on experience according to the system heat generation.

[0034] (3) Heat dissipation capacity verification

[0035] According to the designed water circuit diagram, calculate the temperature rise of the coolant when it circulates in the system, the formula is: △t = Q / (V×γ×Cp); estimate the required air volume of the cooling system, the formula is: Va = Qw / (△ta×γa×Cpa); check the air volume curve of fan 7, compare the existing fan parameters of heat exchanger 5 with the estimated air volume, if the fan air volume is greater than the calculated air volume, substitute the fan air volume V into the formula to calculate △t.

[0036] The original data parameters for the calculation of the heat exchanger 5 are: the amount of heat that the heat exchanger 5 needs to dissipate and the dimensions of the heat exchanger 5. Given the amount of heat that the heat exchanger 5 needs to dissipate, the required heat dissipation area can be calculated by the following formula: Fs = Qw / (k×Kr×△tm). Compare the existing heat dissipation area of ​​the heat exchanger. If it is larger than the calculated heat dissipation area, the requirement is met.

[0037] The performance verification of water pump 4 is based on the relative position of the cooled equipment on the vehicle and the number of joints in the water circuit to estimate the required water pump head, and the corresponding output flow rate at the head is found by comparing the water pump performance curve.
