[0051] The second heating mode: during the heating process, the temperature of the cooling liquid of the electric drive electric control device 23 is periodically detected, and if the cooling liquid of the electric drive electric control device 23 is higher than the heat energy grade of the cabin air, the valve core of the multi-way valve group 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the accompanying drawings; Figure 5 ​​​The first circulating pump 201, the electric drive electric control device 23, the second interface and the third interface of the multi-way valve group 20, the cooling liquid channel of the external heat exchanger 22, the fourth interface and the first interface of the multi-way valve group 20 form a low-grade heat recovery circuit in series at the position shown, and the heat pump unit simultaneously recovers the waste heat of the electric drive electric control device 23 to enhance the heating capacity; if the waste heat recovery heat is sufficient, the fan of the external heat exchanger 22 can be stopped to further save the power consumption and improve the system energy efficiency.

[0052] In the heating mode, the second circulating pump 202 can be started to operate to drive the cooling liquid of the main heat exchanger 12 to exchange heat with the refrigerant channel of the main heat exchanger 12 to increase the temperature, preheat the cabin air through the preposition heat exchanger 21, and increase the total heat supply of the air conditioning box to accelerate the heating speed.

[0053] The mode is a waste heat source + air source heat pump dual heating mode, which has strong environmental adaptability and fast heating speed.

[0054] The third heating mode: during the heating process, the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electric control device 23 is periodically detected; if the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electric control device 23 is higher than 35°, the valve core of the multi-way valve group 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the figure, and the first circulating pump 201, the electric drive electric control device 23, the second interface and the fifth interface of the multi-way valve group 20, the preposition heat exchanger 21, the second circulating pump 202, the sixth interface and the first interface of the multi-way valve group 20 form a high-grade heat recovery circuit in series, Figure 6

[0055] The mode is a high-grade waste heat + air source heat pump dual-source cascade heating, and the air source heat pump heats at the same time, and the high-grade waste heat of the electric drive electric control device 23 directly preheats the cabin air through the preposition heat exchanger 21 to form a dual-source cascade heating with the refrigerant channel of the main heat exchanger 12.

[0056] The mode has strong heating capacity and has the functions of drying the preposition heat exchanger 21 and preventing mildew.

[0057] The fourth heating mode: during the heating process, the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electric control device 23 is periodically detected; if the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electric control device 23 is higher than 40°, the valve core of the multi-way valve group 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the figure, and the first circulating pump 201, the electric drive electric control device 23, the second interface and the seventh interface of the multi-way valve group 20, and the cooling liquid channel of the main heat exchanger 12 form a high-grade heat recovery circuit in series.

[0060] The fifth heating mode: during the heating process, the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electric control device 23 and the humidity of the cabin air are periodically detected. If the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electric control device 23 is higher than 40° and the humidity of the cabin air is lower than the comfortable humidity required by the occupant, or the vehicle windshield fogs and affects the driving safety, the valve core of the multi-way valve group 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the accompanying Figure 8 , on the one hand, the cooling liquid channel of the cabin external heat exchanger 22, the 4th and 5th interfaces of the multi-way valve group 20, the pre-positioned heat exchanger 21, the second circulating pump 202, the 6th and 3rd interfaces of the multi-way valve group 20 form a series waste cold recovery and dehumidification circuit; on the other hand, the first circulating pump 201, the electric drive electric control device 23, the 2nd and 7th interfaces of the multi-way valve group 20, and the cooling liquid channel of the main heat exchanger 12 form a series high-grade heat recovery circuit;

[0061] This mode is waste cold dehumidification + double-source heat recovery. In this mode, the heat pump operates as the heat pump heating mode, the fan of the cabin external heat exchanger 22 can operate or stop, the fan of the cabin air conditioner drives the cabin air, first passes through the pre-positioned heat exchanger 21 for cooling and dehumidification, and then passes through the refrigerant channel and the cooling liquid channel of the main heat exchanger 12 for double-source heat recovery.

[0062] This mode recovers the free cold of the cabin external heat exchanger 22 for pre-positioned cooling and dehumidification in the cabin, and then recovers the waste heat of the electric drive electric control device 23 to heat or maintain the temperature of the cabin air. The control is simple, stable, reliable, efficient, and energy-saving.

[0063] The sixth heating mode: during the heating process, the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electric control device 23 is periodically detected.

[0064] This mode is a single high-grade waste heat heating mode, and the high-grade waste heat of the electric drive electric control device 23 is directly recovered to heat the cabin air through the pre-positioned heat exchanger 21.

[0065] This mode recovers waste heat, has high system energy efficiency, and has the functions of drying the pre-positioned heat exchanger 21 and preventing mildew.

[0066] The seventh heating mode: during the heating process, the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electronic control equipment 23 is periodically detected. If the cooling liquid temperature of the electric drive electronic control equipment 23 is higher than 40°, the operation of the heat pump compressor and the fan of the cabin-out heat exchanger 22 is stopped, the valve core of the multi-way valve group 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the attached Figure 10 figure, and the first circulating pump 201, the electric drive electronic control equipment 23, the second interface and the seventh interface of the multi-way valve group 20, and the cooling liquid channel of the main heat exchanger 12 form a high-grade heat recovery circuit in series.

[0067] This mode is a single high-grade waste heat heating mode. The high-grade waste heat of the electric drive electronic control equipment 23 is directly recovered and heats the cabin air through the cooling liquid channel of the main heat exchanger 12.

[0068] This mode has high waste heat recovery and system energy efficiency.

[0069] When the cabin air temperature is at the comfortable temperature required by the passengers, the heat pump compressor is stopped, and the temperature of the cooling liquid of the electric drive electronic control equipment 23 is detected. If the cooling liquid of the electric drive electronic control equipment 23 is higher than the safe operation temperature required by the equipment, one of the heat dissipation modes shown in the attached Figure 11 、 12 figure is executed.

[0070] The first heat dissipation mode: the valve core of the multi-way valve group 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the attached Figure 11 figure, and the first circulating pump 201, the electric drive electronic control equipment 23, the second interface and the third interface of the multi-way valve group 20, the cooling liquid channel of the cabin-out heat exchanger 22, the fourth interface and the fifth interface of the multi-way valve group 20, the pre-heat exchanger 21, the sixth interface and the first interface of the multi-way valve group 20 form a heat dissipation circuit in series.

[0071] This mode is a double heat dissipation mode inside and outside the cabin. The fans of the cabin-out heat exchanger 22 and the pre-heat exchanger 21 operate simultaneously or independently. The waste heat of the electric drive electronic control equipment 23 is released to the air outside the cabin or the air inside the cabin through the cooling liquid channel of the cabin-out heat exchanger 22 and the pre-heat exchanger 21, ensuring that the indoor air is at the most comfortable temperature and ensuring the safe operation of the vehicle equipment.

[0072] This mode has simple control, high energy efficiency, and high energy efficiency.

[0073] The second heat dissipation mode: the valve core of the multi-way valve group 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the attached Figure 12 figure, and the first circulating pump 201, the electric drive electronic control equipment 23, the second interface and the third interface of the multi-way valve group 20, the cooling liquid channel of the cabin-out heat exchanger 22, the fourth interface and the first interface of the multi-way valve group 20 form a heat dissipation circuit in series.

[0074] This mode is a single external heat dissipation mode. The external heat exchanger 22 is running, while the second circulation pump 202 and the fan of the front heat exchanger 21 are stopped. The waste heat of the electric drive and control equipment 23 is released into the outside air through the coolant passage of the external heat exchanger 22 to ensure the safe operation of the vehicle equipment.

[0075] This mode is simple to control and energy-efficient.

[0076] When the cabin air temperature is higher than the comfort temperature required by the occupants, the valve core position of the four-way valve 10 is adjusted to heat pump cooling. At the same time, the fan of the external heat exchanger 22 is running, and the low-pressure refrigerant after being throttled and depressurized by the throttling valve 13 enters the refrigerant channel of the main heat exchanger 12. The fan of the cabin air conditioning unit drives the cabin air to exchange heat and cool down with the refrigerant channel of the main heat exchanger 12. The evaporated refrigerant enters the compressor 11 through the four-way valve 10, is compressed into high-pressure refrigerant, and enters the refrigerant channel of the external heat exchanger 22 through the four-way valve 10 again, releasing heat to the external ambient air, and the cycle repeats.

[0077] This mode is a direct heat pump cooling mode. Neither the first circulation pump 201 nor the second circulation pump 202 operates, and this is independent of the valve core position of the multi-way valve assembly 20. (See attached...) Figures 4 to 10 All of the above are acceptable; this mode is simple to control, fast, stable in operation, and highly energy efficient.

[0078] When adjusting the valve core of the multi-way valve assembly 20 to the specified position... Figure 13 At the locations shown, the first circulating pump 201, the electric drive and control device 23, the second and third ports of the multi-way valve group 20, the coolant passage of the external heat exchanger 22, the fourth port of the multi-way valve group 20, and the first port form a series heat dissipation circuit for the electric drive and control device 23; in this mode, the refrigerant passage and coolant passage of the external heat exchanger 22 exchange heat with the external air simultaneously.

[0079] This mode is simple to control, has high cooling efficiency, and also provides heat dissipation for the electric drive and control equipment 23.

[0080] During the process of temperature and humidity adjustment of the cabin air, the liquid-cooled battery 24 connected in series in the coolant channel of the main heat exchanger 12 is simultaneously regulated and controlled.

[0081] The battery cooling mode of this control method is shown in the attached figure. Figure 14As shown, during the heat pump cooling process, once the cabin temperature reaches the preset comfortable temperature, the compressor 10 continues to operate efficiently, reducing or shutting down the fan speed of the cabin air conditioning unit, and starting the second circulation pump 202 to continue cooling the liquid-cooled battery 24 until it reaches the optimal temperature limit (10°C). The liquid-cooled battery 24 has a large heat capacity and can store a lot of cooling energy. The compressor is turned off, the second circulation pump 202 continues to operate, and the fan of the cabin air conditioning unit is turned on as needed. The liquid-cooled battery 24 releases cooling energy into the cabin air, making the cabin comfortable, reducing the frequency of compressor start-stop or speed adjustment, and improving cooling energy efficiency.

[0082] The battery heat storage mode of this control method is shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, and refer to the appendix Figure 5 , 7 8. 10. During the heat pump heating process, once the cabin temperature reaches the preset comfortable temperature, the compressor 10 continues to operate efficiently, reducing or shutting down the fan speed of the cabin air conditioning unit, and starting the second circulation pump 202 to continue heating the liquid-cooled battery 24 until the optimal upper limit of the liquid-cooled battery 24 (40°C) is reached. The liquid-cooled battery 24 has a large heat capacity and can store a lot of heat. The compressor is then turned off, while the second circulation pump 202 continues to operate. The fan of the cabin air conditioning unit is turned on as needed, and the liquid-cooled battery 24 releases heat into the cabin air, making the cabin comfortable, reducing the frequency of compressor start-stop or speed adjustment, and improving heating efficiency.

[0083] The active heat dissipation mode of this control method is shown in the attached diagram. Figure 15 As shown, when the temperature of the liquid-cooled battery 24 is detected to be high and cooling is required, it is only necessary to adjust the valve core of the multi-way valve assembly 20 to the position shown in the attached diagram. Figure 15 At the indicated location, start the third circulation pump 203 and the fan of the external heat exchanger 22 to operate, and release the waste heat of the liquid-cooled battery 24 directly into the outside air through the external heat exchanger 22.

[0084] The active temperature equalization mode of this control method is shown in the attached diagram. Figure 16 , 17 As shown, during the heat pump heating process, when poor temperature uniformity of the liquid-cooled battery 24 is detected, the valve core of the multi-way valve assembly 20 is adjusted to the position shown in the attached diagram. Figure 16 Or, at the position shown in Figure 17, start the third circulation pump 203 and the internal circulation of the coolant in the liquid-cooled battery 24 to achieve the battery temperature equalization function.

[0085] Because the multi-way valve assembly 20 has an additional 9th ​​interface, as shown in the attached... Figure 18 As shown, the liquid-cooled battery 24, the first circulating pump 201, and the electric drive and control equipment 23 form a series circuit through the 2nd and 9th ports of the multi-way valve group 20. This control method has the following characteristics: Figure 18 The electric drive and control equipment 23 shown is in a battery heat storage mode that directly supplies heat.

[0086] The vehicle with the heat management system has the advantages of simple structure, high efficiency, stability, low cost, and the like.
