Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The vehicle front-end module 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle front-end module 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a condenser 1, a low-temperature radiator 2, an intercooler 3, and a high-temperature radiator 4.

[0036] Specifically, the vehicle front-end module 10 can be applied to hybrid vehicles. It should be understood that the hybrid vehicle referred to in this application can be driven by either pure electricity or fuel combustion. Furthermore, this hybrid vehicle has an air booster function and is equipped with an intercooler 3 for cooling the boosted air. In this embodiment, vehicle 100 is a methanol-hydrogen-ethanol range-extended heavy-duty truck, which can utilize the advantages of traditional power while solving the battery range problem.

[0037] The vehicle front-end module 10 integrates the entire cooling system of the vehicle 100 at the front of the vehicle 100. That is, a single cooling system is used to meet the cooling needs of the cab and the heat dissipation needs of the battery. This saves space and eliminates the need for the battery thermal management system (BTMS) on the back of the vehicle, reducing the overall vehicle weight and increasing the turning radius of the cargo box.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, condenser 1 is used to dissipate heat from the air conditioning system. It can be understood that when the driver's cab of vehicle 100 requests cooling, condenser 1 dissipates heat from the air conditioning system to ensure its normal operation. Furthermore, the battery pack of vehicle 100 also generates considerable heat during operation, and condenser 1 is also used to dissipate heat from the battery pack. Therefore, condenser 1 also needs to dissipate heat in this case. Condenser 1 is located in the front-rear direction (e.g.,...). Figure 1 A first air-cooling device 11 is provided on one side of the condenser 1 (shown in the front-back direction). The first air-cooling device 11 can dissipate heat for the condenser 1. When the first air-cooling device 11 is working, it will generate airflow from outside the condenser 1 to the first air-cooling device 11. The airflow will dissipate heat for the condenser 1, ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the condenser 1 on the air conditioning system.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the low-temperature radiator 2 and the intercooler 3 are arranged along the height direction of the vehicle 100 (e.g., Figure 1 The arrangement of the low-temperature radiator 2 and the intercooler 3 in the vertical direction (as shown) can avoid overlapping parts in the length or width direction of the vehicle 100, and avoid the low-temperature radiator 2 and the intercooler 3 occupying space in the length or width direction of the vehicle 100.

[0040] Along the front-to-back direction, the low-temperature radiator 2 and the intercooler 3 are located on the side of the condenser 1 away from the first air-cooling device 11. The low-temperature radiator 2 is used to dissipate heat from the electric drive system 20. It is understood that when the vehicle 100 is driven by the electric drive system 20, the electric drive system 20 generates a significant amount of heat, requiring heat dissipation to ensure that the temperature range of the electric drive system 20 remains within the normal range, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electric drive system 20. The intercooler 3 is used to cool the pressurized air. It is understood that fuel combustion in the engine requires mixing with outside air, and the amount of outside air intake affects the degree of fuel combustion. When the engine needs to operate at higher power, compressed gas can be introduced into the engine to ensure a larger intake volume, thereby ensuring the engine operates at higher power. During air pressurization, the air temperature rises. The intercooler 3 is located before the engine's air intake to cool the air, allowing the cooled air to be introduced into the engine for fuel combustion.

[0041] A second air-cooling device 21 is provided on the side of the low-temperature radiator 2 away from the condenser 1. The second air-cooling device 21 can dissipate heat for the low-temperature radiator 2. When the second air-cooling device 21 is working, it will generate airflow from the outside of the low-temperature radiator 2 to the second air-cooling device 21. The airflow will dissipate heat for the low-temperature radiator 2, ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the low-temperature radiator 2 on the electric drive system 20.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, along the front-to-back direction, the high-temperature radiator 4 is located on the side away from the condenser 1, opposite to the low-temperature radiator 2 and intercooler 3. The high-temperature radiator 4 is used to dissipate heat from the engine. It is understood that the engine generates a significant amount of heat during operation. To ensure the engine's normal operation, it needs to be cooled through the engine's cooling circuit. The high-temperature radiator 4 is part of the engine's cooling circuit and can conduct heat from the cooling circuit into the airflow for dissipation. A third air-cooling device 41 is located on the side of the high-temperature radiator 4 away from the condenser 1. The third air-cooling device 41 dissipates heat from the high-temperature radiator 4. When the third air-cooling device 41 is working, it generates airflow from outside the high-temperature radiator 4 to the third air-cooling device 41, which dissipates heat from the high-temperature radiator 4, ensuring the high-temperature radiator 4's effective cooling of the engine.

[0043] Therefore, the first air-cooling device 11 can dissipate heat for the condenser 1, the second air-cooling device 21 can dissipate heat for the low-temperature radiator 2, and the third air-cooling device 41 can dissipate heat for the high-temperature radiator 4. The first air-cooling device 11, the second air-cooling device 21 and the third air-cooling device 41 are arranged at intervals, so that the heat dissipation of the vehicle front module 10 is dispersed, which can realize the dispersed heat dissipation of multiple cooling circuits and components, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the vehicle front module 10.

[0044] According to the vehicle front-end module 10 of this utility model embodiment, by arranging the condenser 1, low-temperature radiator 2, intercooler 3, and high-temperature radiator 4 alternately along the front-rear direction, it can meet the cooling needs of the cab, as well as the low-temperature heat dissipation of the electric drive system 20 and the high-temperature heat dissipation of the engine. Furthermore, a first air-cooling device 11 is provided on one side of the condenser 1 in the front-rear direction, a second air-cooling device 21 is provided on the side of the low-temperature radiator 2 away from the condenser 1, and a third air-cooling device 41 is provided on the side of the high-temperature radiator 4 away from the condenser 1. The first air-cooling device 11, the second air-cooling device 21, and the third air-cooling device 41 are arranged alternately, which can achieve decentralized heat dissipation of multiple cooling circuits and components, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the vehicle front-end module 10.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple third air-cooling devices 41, which are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the height of the vehicle 100. The number of third air-cooling devices 41 used can be selected according to the heat dissipation requirements of the vehicle 100. While meeting the heat dissipation effect of the high-temperature radiator 4, the energy consumption required for the operation of the third air-cooling devices 41 should be minimized, and the noise of the high-temperature radiator 4 during heat dissipation should be minimized.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first air-cooling device 11 includes multiple electronic fans. When dissipating heat from the condenser 1, the number of electronic fans and the position of the electronic fans can be selected according to the heat dissipation requirements (such as the temperature of the condenser 1, the specific wind-blown effect of the grille opening, etc.). The operation of multiple electronic fans is more efficient, thereby making the operation of the first air-cooling device 11 more efficient.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second air-cooling device 21 includes multiple electronic fans. When cooling the electric drive system 20, the number of electronic fans and the position of the electronic fans can be selected according to the cooling requirements (such as the temperature of the electric drive system 20, the specific grille opening and wind-facing effect, etc.). The operation of multiple electronic fans is more efficient, thereby making the operation of the second air-cooling device 21 more efficient.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the third air-cooling device 41 includes multiple electric fans. When cooling the engine, the number and position of the electric fans can be selected according to the cooling requirements (such as the engine temperature, the specific airflow effect of the grille openings, etc.). The operation of multiple electric fans is more efficient, thereby making the operation of the third air-cooling device 41 more efficient. In this embodiment, the electric fans in the third air-cooling device 41 are low-voltage electric fans, which have higher energy efficiency and lower manufacturing costs. Low-voltage electric fans are well compatible with various low-voltage power supply systems and have a wide range of applications.

[0049] In some embodiments of this invention, the multiple electronic fans in the third air-cooling device 41 are silicone oil clutch fans. The silicone oil clutch fan utilizes the high viscosity of silicone oil to transmit torque, thereby controlling the fan speed. The silicone oil clutch fan can automatically adjust the fan speed according to the engine temperature. When the engine temperature is low, the silicone oil is in a solidified state, the fan clutch disengages, and the fan speed decreases; while when the engine temperature rises, the silicone oil melts and becomes viscous, the fan clutch engages, and the fan speed increases. When the engine does not require significant cooling, the fan can operate at low speed, thereby reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emissions.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electric drive system 20 includes a DC-DC converter 205, which can convert DC power into DC power with controllable voltage or current required by the load. The DC-DC converter 205 is used as a controller for the first air-cooled device 11, the second air-cooled device 21, and the third air-cooled device 41, and can drive the electronic fan of the first air-cooled device 11, the second air-cooled device 21, and the third air-cooled device 41 to rotate. The DC-DC converter 205 can achieve precise control of the output voltage or current, ensuring that the first air-cooled device 11, the second air-cooled device 21, and the third air-cooled device 41 obtain a stable power supply.

[0051] The first air-cooling device 11, the second air-cooling device 21, and the third air-cooling device 41 can be used to dissipate heat according to different heat dissipation needs, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle front-end module 10, reducing the noise generated by the first air-cooling device 11, the second air-cooling device 21, and the third air-cooling device 41, and reducing the operating cost of the vehicle front-end module 10.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, the vehicle front-end module 10 further includes a temperature sensor, and the electric drive system 20 includes multiple electrical components, each equipped with a temperature sensor. It is understood that the electric drive system 20 includes a drive motor 201, a motor controller 202, a generator 203, a high-voltage auxiliary drive integrated controller 204, and a DC-DC converter 205, etc. The multiple temperature sensors can collect the body temperature feedback signals of the drive motor 201, the motor controller 202, the generator 203, the high-voltage auxiliary drive integrated controller 204, and the DC-DC converter 205, thereby controlling the electric water pump 206 of the electric drive system 20 to operate according to a certain duty cycle, and simultaneously controlling the rotation of the electronic fans of the first air-cooling device 11, the second air-cooling device 21, and the third air-cooling device 41, to achieve heat dissipation for the electric drive system 20.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second air-cooling device 21 and the high-temperature radiator 4 are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the height direction of the vehicle 100, which can avoid the second air-cooling device 21 and the high-temperature radiator 4 from overlapping in the length or width direction of the vehicle 100, and avoid the second air-cooling device 21 and the high-temperature radiator 4 from occupying space in the length or width direction of the vehicle 100.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, along the height direction of the vehicle 100, the height of the second air-cooling device 21 is H1, and the height of the low-temperature radiator 2 is H2, satisfying H1≥0.5*H2. This ensures the heat dissipation effect of the second air-cooling device 21 on the low-temperature radiator 2 while avoiding affecting the installation of the high-temperature radiator 4, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the low-temperature radiator 2 on the electric drive system 20.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, the condenser 1 and at least a portion of the low-temperature radiator 2 and at least a portion of the intercooler 3 are arranged opposite each other along the front-rear direction. This allows the first air-cooling device 11, which dissipates heat from the condenser 1, to dissipate heat from the low-temperature radiator 2 and the intercooler 3 to a certain extent, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect of the low-temperature radiator 2 and the intercooler 3 and ensuring the overall heat dissipation effect of the vehicle front-end module 10.

[0056] This utility model also proposes a vehicle 100 having the vehicle front-end module 10 of the above embodiments.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes the vehicle front-end module 10 described above.

[0058] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle 100, by providing the aforementioned vehicle front-end module 10, and by arranging the condenser 1, low-temperature radiator 2, intercooler 3, and high-temperature radiator 4 alternately along the front-rear direction, satisfies both the cooling needs of the cab and the low-temperature cooling needs of the electric drive system 20 and the high-temperature cooling needs of the engine. Furthermore, a first air-cooling device 11 is provided on one side of the condenser 1 in the front-rear direction, a second air-cooling device 21 is provided on the side of the low-temperature radiator 2 away from the condenser 1, and a third air-cooling device 41 is provided on the side of the high-temperature radiator 4 away from the condenser 1. The first air-cooling device 11, the second air-cooling device 21, and the third air-cooling device 41 are arranged alternately, which enables distributed heat dissipation of multiple cooling circuits and components, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the vehicle front-end module 10.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle 100 also includes an air conditioning control unit 30, which drives the air conditioning system to operate. It can receive commands from the driver and passengers and drive components such as the compressor, fan, and condenser 1 to work, so as to achieve functions such as air cooling, heating, dehumidification, and humidification.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle 100 also includes a vehicle control unit 40. The vehicle control unit 40 receives the demand signal from the air conditioning control unit 30 and drives the electric drive system 20 to operate. The vehicle control unit 40 (VCU) receives the demand from the air conditioning controller (AC) and drives the electric drive system 20 to operate. The first air-cooling device 11, the second air-cooling device 21 and the third air-cooling device 41 work in a targeted manner to achieve the heat dissipation effect.

[0061] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 3 The following description describes a vehicle 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. It is to be understood that the following description is merely exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0062] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle 100 includes an air conditioning control unit 30, a vehicle control unit 40, an electric drive system 20, and a vehicle front-end module 10.

[0063] When the vehicle 100 is in pure electric mode, the battery discharges and cools down. At least some of the electric fans in the condenser 1 and the first air-cooling device 11 work to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the condenser 1. At the same time, the electric drive system 20 requires the low-temperature radiator 2 and at least some of the electric fans in the second air-cooling device 21 to work to meet the needs of the electric drive system 20.

[0064] If there is a cooling request in the cab at the same time, a larger condenser 1 heat dissipation capacity is required. At the same time, at least a portion of the electric fans of at least one set of third air-cooling devices 41 at the top are turned on. The vehicle control unit 40 receives the request from the air conditioning controller and the body temperature feedback signals from the drive motor 201, motor controller 202, generator 203, high-voltage auxiliary drive integrated controller 204, and DC controller in the electric drive system 20. It controls the electric water pump 206 to operate according to a certain duty cycle, and at the same time controls at least a portion of the electric fans in the first air-cooling device 11, at least a portion of the electric fans in the second air-cooling device 21, and at least a portion of the electric fans of at least one set of third air-cooling devices 41 at the top to operate according to a certain duty cycle.

[0065] When vehicle 100 is in range-extending mode, that is, when both the range extender and the battery are outputting power simultaneously, or when energy recovery is in progress, the battery is charged by the range extender generator 203 and the drive motor 201. In this state, in addition to the controls related to pure electric mode operation, the vehicle control unit 40 controls at least a portion of the electric fans of at least one set of third air-cooling devices 41 to operate based on the coolant temperature and the temperature of the intake manifold after intercooling, thereby achieving heat dissipation for the engine's high-temperature radiator 4 and intercooler 3.

[0066] Other configurations and operations of the vehicle front-end module 10 and the vehicle 100 according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
