Description

Technical Field

[0039] This application provides a thermal management system and vehicle for a pure electric vehicle. By using a nine-way valve to connect the cooling water system and the heat pump system, heat exchange between the motor and the heat pump system is realized. This reduces individual valve components, improves integration, saves costs, and improves energy utilization.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system for pure electric vehicles provided in this application includes:

[0042] Heat pump system 14, heat pump system 14 exchanges heat with crew compartment and / or battery pack 12;

[0043] Cooling water system, including motor 3;

[0044] Nine-way valve 5;

[0045] The cooling water system can achieve heat exchange between the motor 3 and the heat pump system 14 through the nine-way valve 5;

[0046] The cooling water system includes a first cooling circuit that can cool only the motor 3. When a cooling branch is provided on the first cooling circuit that flows through the heat pump system 14, the first cooling circuit and the cooling branch form a second cooling circuit. The second cooling circuit can cool the motor 3 and provide air conditioning cooling at the same time. In the second cooling circuit, both the first cooling circuit and the cooling branch flow through the nine-way valve 5.

[0047] This application uses a nine-way valve 5 to connect the cooling water system and the heat pump system 14, constructing a thermal management water circuit architecture, which realizes heat exchange between the motor 3 and the heat pump system 14, that is, heat exchange between the air conditioning, passenger compartment and battery of the motor 3 and the heat pump system 14. Specifically, the cooling branch flowing through the nine-way valve 5 in the second cooling circuit realizes heat exchange between the motor 3 and the heat pump system 14. This can reduce individual valve body components, improve integration, save costs and improve energy utilization.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cooling water system also includes a first heat exchanger 1 and a first water pump 2. In this embodiment, the first heat exchanger 1 is a low-temperature radiator. In the first cooling circuit, the outlet of the motor 3 is connected to the first port of the nine-way valve 5, the first port of the nine-way valve 5 is connected to the seventh port of the nine-way valve 5, the seventh port of the nine-way valve 5 is connected to the inlet of the first heat exchanger 1, the outlet of the first heat exchanger 1 is connected to the first water pump 2, and the outlet of the first water pump 2 is connected to the inlet of the motor 3.

[0049] When only motor 3 requires cooling, there is no need to exchange heat between motor 3 and heat pump system 14 through nine-way valve 5. In this case, it is only necessary to start the first cooling circuit and use the low-temperature radiator to cool motor 3.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second cooling circuit is used when the temperature is high, requiring not only cooling of the motor 3 but also air conditioning. In the second cooling circuit, the outlet of the motor 3 is connected to the first port of the nine-way valve 5, the first port of the nine-way valve 5 is connected to the third port of the nine-way valve 5, the third port of the nine-way valve 5 is connected to the first port of the four-way valve 9, the first port of the four-way valve 9 is connected to the fourth port of the four-way valve 9, the fourth port of the four-way valve 9 is connected to the eighth port of the nine-way valve 5, the eighth port of the nine-way valve 5 is connected to the seventh port of the nine-way valve 5, the seventh port of the nine-way valve 5 is connected to the inlet of the first heat exchanger 1, the outlet of the first heat exchanger 1 is connected to the first water pump 2, and the outlet of the first water pump 2 is connected to the inlet of the motor 3. In this way, the motor 3 can be cooled through the first heat exchanger 1.

[0051] In addition, in the cooling branch, the outlet of the first water pump 2 is sequentially connected to the inlet of the second heat exchanger 8 (a water-cooled condenser in this embodiment) of the shut-off valve 13, the second water pump 7, and the heat pump system 14. The outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected to the first port of the four-way valve 9. In this embodiment, the second heat exchanger 8 is a water-cooled condenser. In this branch, the high-temperature water output from the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 of the heat pump system 14 mixes with the hot water output from the third port of the nine-way valve 5 and returns to the first cooling circuit through the four-way valve 9 and the nine-way valve 5 in sequence. After being cooled by the first heat exchanger 1 in the first cooling circuit, it re-enters the cooling branch, enters from the inlet of the second heat exchanger 8, and cools the second heat exchanger 8, thereby simultaneously achieving the cooling of the motor 3 and the second heat exchanger 8 by the first heat exchanger 1.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, based on the second cooling circuit described above, due to the high temperature, there is also a need to cool the battery pack 12. The heat pump system 14 also includes a third heat exchanger 11 (chiller in this embodiment). The outlet of the third heat exchanger 11 is connected to the third port of the four-way valve 9. The third port of the four-way valve 9 is connected to the second port of the four-way valve 9. The second port of the four-way valve 9 is connected to the inlet of the third water pump 10. The outlet of the third water pump 10 is connected to the inlet of the battery pack 12. The outlet of the battery pack 12 is connected to the inlet of the third heat exchanger 11.

[0053] In this way, the heat of the battery pack 12 is exchanged with the heat pump system 14 through the third heat exchanger 11. When needed, the battery pack 12 can be cooled by the third heat exchanger 11 in addition to cooling the motor 3 and the air conditioner. Alternatively, the battery pack 12 can be cooled only by the motor 3 and the air conditioner without cooling the battery pack 12.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a first heating circuit. In the first heating circuit, the outlet of motor 3 is connected to the inlet of the third heat exchanger 11 through the first port of the nine-way valve 5, the eighth port of the nine-way valve 5, the fourth port of the four-way valve 9, and the third port of the four-way valve 9 in sequence. The outlet of the third heat exchanger 11 is connected to the inlet of the first water pump 2 through the second port of the nine-way valve 5 and the ninth port of the nine-way valve 5 in sequence. The outlet of the first water pump 2 is connected to the inlet of motor 3. This branch can connect motor 3 to the third heat exchanger 11, so that the waste heat of motor 3 can be absorbed by heat pump system 14 through the third heat exchanger 11.

[0055] Furthermore, the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected sequentially through the third port and the fourth port of the nine-way valve 5 to the inlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 (in this embodiment, the warm air core, which can heat the passenger compartment) of the heat pump system 14. The outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 is connected to the first port of the three-way valve 4. The second port of the three-way valve 4 is connected sequentially through the sixth port and the fifth port of the nine-way valve 5 to the inlet of the second water pump 7. The outlet of the second water pump 7 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchanger 8. This branch can supply heat to the fourth heat exchanger 6 through the second heat exchanger 8 of the heat pump system 14 to achieve heating of the passenger compartment.

[0056] Furthermore, the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected to the inlet of the battery pack 12 via the first port of the four-way valve 9, the second port of the four-way valve 9, and the third water pump 10 in sequence. The outlet of the battery pack 12 is connected to the third port of the three-way valve 4. This branch can supply heat to the battery pack 12 through the second heat exchanger 8 of the heat pump system 14.

[0057] Due to the limitations of refrigerant performance, when the ambient temperature is below -15°C, the heat pump system 14 cannot indirectly absorb heat from the air through the first heat exchanger 1. Therefore, the solution in this embodiment is suitable for use in ultra-low temperature (below -15°C) conditions. The heat pump system 14 absorbs the waste heat of the motor 3 and indirectly uses the waste heat of the motor 3 to provide some heat to the passenger compartment and / or battery pack 12, thus saving energy consumption.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a second heating circuit. In the second heating circuit, the outlet of motor 3 is connected to the inlet of the third heat exchanger 11 through the first port of the nine-way valve 5, the eighth port of the nine-way valve 5, the fourth port of the four-way valve 9, and the third port of the four-way valve 9 in sequence. The outlet of the third heat exchanger 11 is connected to the inlet of the first heat exchanger 1 through the second port of the nine-way valve 5 and the seventh port of the nine-way valve 5 in sequence. The outlet of the first heat exchanger 1 is connected to the inlet of motor 3 through the first water pump 2. This branch can connect motor 3 and the first heat exchanger 1 to the third heat exchanger 11 at the same time, so that the waste heat of motor 3 and the air heat absorbed by the first heat exchanger 1 can be absorbed by the heat pump system 14 through the third heat exchanger 11.

[0059] Furthermore, similar to the first heating circuit, the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected sequentially through the third port and the fourth port of the nine-way valve 5 to the inlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 of the heat pump system 14. The outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 is connected to the first port of the three-way valve 4. The second port of the three-way valve 4 is connected sequentially through the sixth port and the fifth port of the nine-way valve 5 to the inlet of the second water pump 7. The outlet of the second water pump 7 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchanger 8. This branch can supply heat to the fourth heat exchanger 6 through the second heat exchanger 8 of the heat pump system 14 to achieve heating of the crew cabin.

[0060] In addition, similar to the first heating circuit, the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected to the inlet of the battery pack 12 via the first port of the four-way valve 9, the second port of the four-way valve 9, and the third water pump 10. The outlet of the battery pack 12 is connected to the third port of the three-way valve 4. This branch can supply heat to the battery pack 12 through the second heat exchanger 8 of the heat pump system 14.

[0061] In this embodiment, unlike the previous embodiment which only utilizes the waste heat of the motor 3, the waste heat of the motor 3 and the air heat absorbed by the first heat exchanger 1 are used to supply heat to the heat pump system 14 through the third heat exchanger 11 by using different connection methods between the cooling water system and the ports of the nine-way valve 5. This increases the operating temperature range of the heat pump system 14, improves energy utilization, reduces low-temperature energy consumption, and improves endurance.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a third heating circuit. In the third heating circuit, the outlet of motor 3 is connected to the inlet of the first water pump 2 through the first port and the ninth port of the nine-way valve 5 in sequence. The outlet of the first water pump 2 is connected to the inlet of motor 3. In this branch, motor 3 is in heat storage mode and does not output heat to heat pump system 14.

[0063] Furthermore, the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected sequentially through the third port and the fourth port of the nine-way valve 5 to the inlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 of the heat pump system 14. The outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 is connected to the first port of the three-way valve 4. The second port of the three-way valve 4 is connected sequentially through the sixth port and the fifth port of the nine-way valve 5 to the inlet of the second water pump 7. The outlet of the second water pump 7 is connected to the inlet of the second heat exchanger 8. This branch can generate heat through the compressor of the heat pump system 14 and supply heat to the fourth heat exchanger 6 through the second heat exchanger 8 to achieve heating of the crew cabin.

[0064] Furthermore, the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected to the inlet of the battery pack 12 via the first port of the four-way valve 9, the second port of the four-way valve 9, and the third water pump 10. The outlet of the battery pack 12 is connected to the third port of the three-way valve 4. This branch can generate heat through the compressor of the heat pump system 14 and supply heat to the battery pack 12 through the second heat exchanger 8.

[0065] Thus, this heat pump system 14 has a compressor heat generation function, and the cooling, battery and air conditioning system water circuits are connected through the nine-way valve 5, which expands the heating temperature range, improves the heating rate in low-temperature environments, and can eliminate the PTC (heater) in the existing technology, thereby reducing costs.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, it also includes a fourth heating circuit. In the fourth heating circuit, the outlet of motor 3 is sequentially connected to the first port of nine-way valve 5, the fifth port of nine-way valve 5, and then connected to the inlet of the second heat exchanger 8 via the second water pump 7. The outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is sequentially connected to the inlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 of the heat pump system 14 via the third port of nine-way valve 5, the fourth port of nine-way valve 5, and the outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 6 is connected to the first port of three-way valve 4. The second port of three-way valve 4 is sequentially connected to the sixth port of nine-way valve 5, the ninth port of nine-way valve 5, and then connected to the inlet of motor 3 via the first water pump 2. In this branch, motor 3 actively generates heat and, together with the second heat exchanger 8, supplies heat to the fourth heat exchanger 6, thereby heating the passenger compartment.

[0067] Furthermore, the outlet of the second heat exchanger 8 is connected to the inlet of the battery pack 12 via the first port of the four-way valve 9, the second port of the four-way valve 9, and the third water pump 10 in sequence; the outlet of the battery pack 12 is connected to the third port of the three-way valve 4; in this branch, the heat pump system 14 supplies heat to the battery pack 12 through the second heat exchanger 8.

[0068] In addition to the heat generation function of the compressor, this heat pump system 14 also has the active heat generation function of the motor 3. The cooling, battery and air conditioning system water circuits are connected through the nine-way valve 5, which expands the heating temperature range and improves the heating rate in low temperature environments. At the same time, the PTC (heater) in the existing technology can be eliminated, thereby reducing costs.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, when the first and second ports of the three-way valve 4 are open and the third port is closed, only the fourth heat exchanger 6 is heated; when the second and third ports of the three-way valve 4 are open and the first port is closed, only the battery pack 12 is heated; when the first, second, and third ports of the three-way valve 4 are all open, the fourth heat exchanger 6 and the battery pack 12 are heated simultaneously.

[0070] The heating modes of the passenger compartment and the battery pack 12 are independently controlled, allowing the driver to freely choose according to actual working conditions. In this embodiment, the heating modes of the passenger compartment and the battery pack 12 can be freely switched by combining the opening and closing of each port of the three-way valve 4, thus avoiding heat waste.

[0071] This application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned pure electric vehicle thermal management system, which improves the thermal management efficiency of the vehicle.
