DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described in connection with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

The storage tank 10 made of stainless steel is buried underground. The fluid in the storage tank 10 exchanges heat with underground substances. The fluid in the storage tank 10 can be water, air or cold-resistant fluid such as glycol water solution that does not affect fluidity under certain low temperature conditions. The storage tank 10 exchanges heat with soil and underground water in underground substances, so that the fluid in the storage tank 10 can also exchange heat, thereby adjusting the temperature of the fluid in the storage tank 10 to serve as a heat exchange medium in the subsequent plate exchange process.

The first liquid cooling pipe group 11 is used as a battery liquid cooling pipe to exchange heat with the battery. When the battery temperature is too high, the heat generated by the battery is removed. When the battery temperature is low in cold weather, a certain amount of heat energy is radiated to the battery, so as to ensure that the battery temperature tends to be stable under the working temperature condition.
[0025] The second side outlet of the second plate heat exchanger 14 is communicated with the inlet of the second liquid cooling pipe group 12, and the outlet of the second liquid cooling pipe group 12 is communicated with the second side inlet of the second plate heat exchanger 14. That is, the fluid in the second side of the second plate heat exchanger 14 can exchange heat in the second liquid cooling pipe group 12. The second liquid cooling pipe group 12 is used as an inverter liquid cooling pipe to exchange heat with the inverter. When the inverter temperature is too high, the heat generated by the inverter is removed. When the inverter temperature is low in cold weather, a certain amount of heat energy is radiated to the inverter, so as to ensure that the inverter temperature tends to be stable under the working temperature condition.
[0026] The first plate heat exchanger 13 is connected with the second plate heat exchanger 14 through the first pipe 15, and the first electric control valve 16 is installed on the first pipe 15; the seventh electric control valve 17 is installed on the second plate heat exchanger 13; the second pipe 18 is connected between the first plate heat exchanger 13 and the second plate heat exchanger 14, and the second electric control valve 19 is installed on the second pipe 18; the eighth electric control valve 20 is installed on the second plate heat exchanger 14; when the first electric control valve 16 and the second electric control valve 19 are closed, the first plate heat exchanger 13 and the first liquid cooling pipe group 11, and the second plate heat exchanger 14 and the second liquid cooling pipe group 12 are independently operated; when the first electric control valve 16, the second electric control valve 19 and the seventh electric control valve 17 are opened, the first plate heat exchanger can be operated in cooperation with the first liquid cooling pipe group 11 and the second liquid cooling pipe group 12; similarly, when the first electric control valve 16, the second electric control valve 19 and the eighth electric control valve 20 are opened, the second plate heat exchanger can be operated in cooperation with the first liquid cooling pipe group 11 and the second liquid cooling pipe group 12, so as to meet different working conditions and use requirements.
[0027] The storage tank 10 is connected with the liquid outlet pipe 21, the liquid return pipe 22 and the liquid outlet pump 23, the liquid outlet pump 23 is installed on the liquid outlet pipe 21, and the liquid outlet pump 23 draws the fluid in the storage tank 10; the liquid outlet pipe 21 is connected with the third pipe 24 and the fourth pipe 25, the third electric control valve 26 is installed on the third pipe 24, the fourth electric control valve 27 is installed on the fourth pipe 25, the third pipe 24 is connected with the first plate heat exchanger 13, and the fourth pipe 25 is connected with the second plate heat exchanger 14; the first plate heat exchanger 13 and the second plate heat exchanger 14 are connected with the liquid return pipe 22. Through the control of the third electric control valve 26 and the fourth electric control valve 27, the fluid in the storage tank 10 can flow to the first plate heat exchanger 13 or the second plate heat exchanger 14, or flow to the first plate heat exchanger 13 and the second plate heat exchanger 14 at the same time, and then flow back to the storage tank 10 through the liquid return pipe 22.
[0028] The first liquid cooling pipe group 11 includes a plurality of first liquid cooling pipes 28, a first liquid cooling control valve 29 and a first flow sensor 30 are installed at the inlet end of each first liquid cooling pipe 28, and a first temperature sensor 31 is installed at the outlet end of each first liquid cooling pipe 28, and the first temperature sensor 31 is in signal connection with the first liquid cooling control valve 29. When the medium needs to flow in a certain first liquid cooling pipe 28, the first liquid cooling control valve 29 on the corresponding liquid cooling pipe can be opened, and the flow sensor is used to monitor the flow rate; here the first liquid cooling control valve 29 can adopt an adjustable valve which can change the opening angle, when the temperature monitored by the first temperature sensor 31 is not within the set range, the flow rate of the fluid can be changed by adjusting the opening degree of the first liquid cooling control valve 29, so as to change the heat exchange capacity of the first liquid cooling pipe 28 corresponding to the battery.
[0029] Similarly, the second liquid cooling pipe group 12 includes a plurality of second liquid cooling pipes 32, a second liquid cooling control valve 33 and a second flow sensor 34 are installed at the inlet end of each second liquid cooling pipe 32, and a second temperature sensor 35 is installed at the outlet end of each second liquid cooling pipe 32, and the second temperature sensor is in signal connection with the second liquid cooling control valve 33.

The return liquid temperature sensor 42 is in signal connection with the fifth electric control valve 40 and the sixth electric control valve 41, respectively. When the return temperature of the primary side of the plate heat exchanger is within the set range, the sixth electric control valve 41 can be opened to directly flow into the storage tank 10; when the temperature monitored by the return liquid temperature sensor 42 is higher than the set value, the fifth electric control valve 40 can be opened to make the return medium pass through the finned radiator 39 to dissipate heat outward, so as to correspondingly reduce the temperature of the medium returned to the storage tank 10.
[0032] The middle part of the storage tank 10 is fixedly provided with a partition plate 43 arranged in horizontal direction, the partition plate 43 is provided with through holes, the liquid return pipeline 22 is communicated with the top of the storage tank 10, and the liquid outlet pipeline 21 is communicated with the bottom of the storage tank 10; when the liquid return pipeline 22 introduces the reflux medium from the upper part of the storage tank 10, the reflux medium flows to the lower part of the storage tank 10 through the through holes of the partition plate 43, is uniformly mixed with the medium in the storage tank 10, and the temperature of the fluid is balanced; the metal radiation plate 44 extending to the outer periphery of the storage tank 10 is fixedly arranged on the outer periphery of the storage tank 10. Through the arrangement of the metal radiation plate 44, the contact area of the storage tank 10 and the underground matter is increased, the heat exchange area of the storage tank 10 is correspondingly increased, and the temperature heat exchange of the medium in the storage tank 10 has a positive significance.
