When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0027] In a first aspect, the present application provides a vehicle thermal management system 10 . The vehicle thermal management system 10 is a thermal management system for a new energy vehicle, and specifically may be a thermal management system for an extended-range new energy vehicle. Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the vehicle thermal management system 10 provided in this application.

[0028] Combine Figure 1 The vehicle thermal management system 10 includes an electric drive heat dissipation branch 11, a first bypass branch 12, an intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and a second bypass branch 14. These heat dissipation branches are used to realize the circulation of coolant. The electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 can realize heat exchange between the coolant and the outside world, thereby dissipating the heat of the coolant to achieve cooling.

[0029] The electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12 are connected in parallel, and their first ends are connected to the vehicle's electric drive assembly 20. That is, the first end 111 of the electric drive heat dissipation branch and the first end 121 of the first bypass branch are both connected to the vehicle's electric drive assembly 20. At this time, since the two branches are connected in parallel, if the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12 are both conductive, the coolant discharged from the electric drive assembly 20 can enter the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12 respectively. The electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 is provided with an electric drive radiator 112, that is, a low-temperature radiator arranged at the front end of the vehicle, while the first bypass branch 12 is not provided with any radiator and only serves to conduct the coolant.

[0030] The intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14 are also connected in parallel, and their first ends are connected to the electric drive assembly 20. That is, the first ends 141 of the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14 are connected to the electric drive assembly 20. Similarly, since the two are connected in parallel, if the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14 are both connected, the coolant discharged from the electric drive assembly 20 can be respectively introduced into the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14.

[0031] It should be understood that the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 is provided with a radiator for dissipating coolant heat, while the second bypass branch 14 is not provided with a radiator and only serves to circulate coolant. The intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 is primarily used to cool and dissipate charge air, thereby keeping the charge air entering the engine below a certain temperature. Therefore, the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 is generally used when the vehicle is in extended-range mode.

[0032] The vehicle thermal management system 10 also includes a first three-way valve 15 and a second three-way valve 16. Both the first three-way valve 15 and the second three-way valve 16 are connected to the electric drive assembly 20. The first three-way valve 15 is connected to the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the second end 122 of the first bypass branch 12, respectively. The second three-way valve 16 is connected to the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and the second end 142 of the second bypass branch 14, respectively. In this case, coolant in the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12 can be directed to the electric drive branch 17 through the first three-way valve 15, and coolant in the electric drive branch 17 can be directed to the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12 through the first three-way valve 15. Similarly, the coolant in the intercooler cooling branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14 can be introduced into the electric drive branch 17 through the second three-way valve 16, or the coolant in the electric drive branch 17 can be introduced into the intercooler cooling branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14 through the second three-way valve 16. In this case, the first three-way valve 15 is used to achieve on-off control of the electric drive cooling branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12, and the second three-way valve 16 is used to achieve on-off control of the intercooler cooling branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14.

[0033] Based on the above structure, when the vehicle operates in pure electric mode and the ambient temperature is lower than the preset temperature, the first three-way valve 15 is used to control the connection of the first bypass branch 12, and the second three-way valve 16 is used to control the connection of the second bypass branch 14, so that the coolant in the electric drive assembly 20 circulates and keeps warm.

[0034] The preset temperature can be a relatively low temperature. When the vehicle's ambient temperature is lower than the preset temperature, it indicates that the vehicle is in a relatively low-temperature environment. Cooling oil is typically located in the oil pan of the electric drive assembly 20 and is used to cool and lubricate gears, bearings, and other components. The movement of the gears and other components churns the cooling oil. At this point, the vehicle's drive assembly's cooling oil is typically at a relatively low temperature. This increases the viscosity of the cooling oil, leading to increased power loss from churning, and thus, reduced drive efficiency of the electric drive assembly 20. When the vehicle operates in pure electric mode, the range extender (i.e., the engine) is not activated. Therefore, there is no need to dissipate heat from the engine's intake air, and the intercooler cooling branch 13 may not operate. Furthermore, depending on the nature of the three-way valve, the first three-way valve 15 has only two modes: in the first mode, the electric drive assembly 20 is connected to the first bypass branch 12 and isolated from the electric drive cooling branch 11; in the second mode, the electric drive assembly 20 is connected to the electric drive cooling branch 11 and isolated from the first bypass branch 12. The second three-way valve 16 also has two modes. In the first mode, the electric drive assembly 20 is connected to the second bypass branch 14 and isolated from the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13. In the second mode, the electric drive assembly 20 is connected to the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and isolated from the second bypass branch 14.

[0035] In light of the above, when the first three-way valve 15 controls the connection of the first bypass branch 12 and the second three-way valve 16 controls the connection of the second bypass branch 14, the coolant of the electric drive assembly 20 can only enter the first bypass branch 12 and the second bypass branch 14. At this time, the coolant of the electric drive assembly 20 will self-circulate and will not pass through any radiator for heat dissipation, thereby increasing the temperature of the coolant, which in turn increases the oil temperature of the electric drive assembly 20, thereby reducing the viscosity of the cooling oil and increasing drive efficiency. At the same time, since the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 is not required to operate at this time, there is no negative impact on the coolant being introduced into the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the second end 113 of the electric drive heat dissipation branch and the second end 122 of the first bypass branch serve as coolant outlets, while the second end 132 of the intercooler heat dissipation branch and the second end 142 of the second bypass branch serve as coolant outlets, shown as the left end in the figure. In this case, if all branches are connected, coolant will enter from the first end 111 of the electric drive heat dissipation branch and the first end 121 of the first bypass branch, and be discharged from the second end 113 of the electric drive heat dissipation branch and the second end 122 of the first bypass branch. At the same time, coolant will be introduced from the first end 131 of the intercooler heat dissipation branch and the first end 141 of the second bypass branch, and discharged from the second end 132 of the intercooler heat dissipation branch and the second end 142 of the second bypass branch. In combination with the above content, the first three-way valve 15 and the second three-way valve 16 are now connected to the liquid outlet of the coolant, so that the coolant in the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 or the first bypass branch 12 is discharged into the electric drive assembly 20 through the first three-way valve 15, and the coolant in the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 or the second bypass branch 14 is discharged into the electric drive assembly 20 through the second three-way valve 16.

[0037] Specifically, continue to combine Figure 1 The vehicle thermal management system 10 is provided with an electric drive branch circuit 17, which passes through the electric drive assembly 20 and is used to dissipate heat from the electric drive assembly 20. The first three-way valve 15 and the second three-way valve 16 are respectively connected to the first end 171 of the electric drive branch circuit. The first end 173 of the electric drive branch circuit serves as the coolant inlet. That is, the first three-way valve 15 or the second three-way valve 16 directs the coolant from the inlet end of the electric drive branch circuit 17 into the electric drive branch circuit 17, and then into the electric drive assembly 20.

[0038] Further integration Figure 1 The vehicle thermal management system 10 includes a first water pump 181, which is disposed between the first three-way valve 15 and the first end 173 of the electric drive branch. The first water pump 181 is used to pump coolant for circulation. The first water pump 181 is an electronic water pump. Coolant from the electric drive cooling branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12 passes through the first water pump 181 before entering the electric drive branch 17.

[0039] Continue to combine Figure 1In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal management system 10 includes a first three-way pipe 191, and the first connecting port and the second connecting port of the first three-way pipe 191 are respectively connected to the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first end 121 of the first bypass branch, and the third connecting port of the first three-way pipe 191 is connected to the electric drive assembly 20. Among them, the first three-way pipe 191 has three connecting ports, and the three connecting ports can be interconnected. Combined with the above content, at this time, the first connecting port and the second connecting port of the first three-way pipe 191 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet of the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first end 121 of the first bypass branch, and the coolant in the electric drive assembly 20 is introduced into the first three-way pipe 191 from the third connecting port of the first three-way pipe 191.

[0040] Furthermore, in some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal management system 10 further includes a second three-way pipe 192. The first and second communication ports of the second three-way pipe 192 are respectively connected to the third communication port of the first three-way pipe 191 and the second end 142 of the second bypass branch. The third communication port of the second three-way pipe 192 is connected to the electric drive assembly 20. At this time, the coolant in the electric drive assembly 20 will enter the second three-way pipe 192 through the third communication port of the second three-way pipe 192. That is, the coolant at the second end of the electric drive branch 17 will enter the second three-way pipe 192 through the third communication port of the second three-way pipe 192, and then enter the second bypass branch 14 or the first three-way pipe 191.

[0041] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the vehicle thermal management system 10 provided in this application.

[0042] Combine Figure 2 In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal management system 10 further includes a second water pump 182 , which is connected to the third connection port of the second three-way pipe 192 and the electric drive assembly 20 . The second water pump 182 is used to pump coolant for circulation. In this case, the second water pump 182 directs the coolant into the second three-way pipe 192 .

[0043] Regarding the specific configuration of the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13, in some specific embodiments, the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 is provided with an intercooler radiator 133 and an intercooler 134. The intercooler radiator 133 is positioned in front of the intercooler 134 in the direction of coolant flow. The intercooler radiator 133 can be positioned at the front end of the vehicle, thereby dissipating heat from the coolant passing through the intercooler radiator 133 through airflow. When the airflow intended for the engine enters the intercooler 134, it exchanges heat with the coolant in the intercooler 134 to dissipate heat.

[0044] Combine Figure 1In some specific embodiments, the electric drive assembly 20 includes a front drive assembly 21 and a rear drive assembly 22. The electric drive branch 17 includes a first sub-electric drive branch 171 and a second sub-electric drive branch 172. The first sub-electric drive branch 171 and the second sub-electric drive branch 172 pass through the front drive assembly 21 and the rear drive assembly 22, respectively. In this case, the first sub-electric drive branch 171 and the second sub-electric drive branch 172 are used to dissipate heat from the front drive assembly 21 and the rear drive assembly 22, respectively.

[0045] In addition, in combination with the settings of the first three-way valve 15 and the second three-way valve 16, some other control methods are briefly described below:

[0046] When the vehicle is in pure electric mode and the ambient temperature is greater than a preset temperature but less than a preset high temperature (the ambient temperature is at a medium temperature), the first three-way valve 15 controls the connection of the first bypass branch 12, and the second three-way valve 16 controls the connection of the intercooler cooling branch 13. At this time, the heat of the drive assembly coolant is dissipated through the intercooler radiator 133.

[0047] When the vehicle is in pure electric mode and the ambient temperature is greater than the preset high temperature (the ambient temperature is at a high temperature at this time), the first three-way valve 15 controls the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 to be connected, and the second three-way valve 16 controls the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 to be connected.

[0048] When the vehicle is in extended-range mode and the ambient temperature is below a preset temperature (low ambient temperature), the first three-way valve 15 controls the connection of the first bypass branch 12, and the second three-way valve 16 controls the connection of the intercooler cooling branch 13. At this time, the coolant in the electric drive branch 17 circulates with the intercooler cooling branch 13, keeping the coolant temperature in the intercooler cooling branch 13 high, achieving the heat preservation function in extended-range mode. This in turn increases the engine intake temperature and prevents condensation of low-temperature water vapor in the air in the intercooler 134 and its piping.

[0049] When the vehicle is in extended-range mode and the ambient temperature is higher than a preset temperature (when the ambient temperature is high, that is, when the ambient temperature is between medium and high), the first three-way valve 15 controls the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 to be connected and controls the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 to be connected.

[0050] Through the above structure and control method, the fuel consumption of the range extender assembly can be reduced and the driving efficiency of the electric drive assembly 20 can be improved.

[0051] A second aspect of the present application provides a vehicle, including the vehicle thermal management system 10 in any of the above embodiments. For relevant descriptions of the vehicle thermal management system 10, reference can be made to the contents of the above embodiments.

[0052] In summary, the vehicle thermal management system 10 and the vehicle provided by the present application include: an electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and a first bypass branch 12, the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the first bypass branch 12 are connected in parallel, and the first ends of the two are connected to the electric drive assembly 20 of the vehicle; an intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and a second bypass branch 14, the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and the second bypass branch 14 are connected in parallel, and the first ends of the two are connected to the electric drive assembly 20; a first three-way valve 15 and a second three-way valve 16, both of which are connected to the electric drive assembly The first three-way valve 15 is connected to the electric drive heat dissipation branch 11 and the second end 122 of the first bypass branch, respectively, and the second three-way valve 16 is connected to the intercooler heat dissipation branch 13 and the second end 142 of the second bypass branch, respectively. When the vehicle is operating in pure electric mode and the ambient temperature is below a preset temperature, the first three-way valve 15 controls the connection of the first bypass branch 12, and the second three-way valve 16 controls the connection of the second bypass branch 14, so that the coolant in the electric drive assembly 20 circulates and maintains its temperature. Therefore, in the pure electric low-temperature state, the electric drive assembly 20 can achieve self-circulation and heat preservation, thereby increasing the oil temperature of the electric drive assembly 20 and improving the driving efficiency of the electric drive assembly 20.

[0053] The above are merely optional embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the scheme concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
