It should be noted that the engine water outlet 15 is connected to the engine water outlet pipe, and the engine water return 16 is connected to the engine water return pipe.
[0026] Furthermore, the battery heating plate heat exchanger 5 is connected in parallel with the warm air core 14, and then connected in series with the electric energy storage body 19.
[0027] Furthermore, an engine outlet water temperature sensor 18 is connected in series at the engine outlet water end 15.
[0028] Furthermore, the battery heating plate heat exchanger 5 is connected to one port of the three-way flow regulating valve 17, and the other two ports of the three-way flow regulating valve 17 are connected to the heater core 14 and the engine water outlet 15, respectively.
[0029] Furthermore, the HVAC system includes an HVAC unit 20, and a cold air core 9 and a warm air core 14 located within the HVAC unit 20; wherein, an external heat exchanger 12 is connected to the cold air core 9, and the other end of the cold air core 9 returns to the compressor 11 via a gas-liquid separator 10.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0036] When the engine outlet water temperature sensor 18 detects that the engine outlet water temperature is greater than the set value two, the electric energy storage body 19 is closed to release heat, and the battery and the cab are heated by the waste heat of the engine.
[0037] When the battery side does not need to be heated, the three-way flow regulating valve 17 is closed to close the flow of the battery heating circuit, so as to realize the function of closing the battery heating.
