Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle thermal management system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increase in battery capacity, voltage platform, and charging power of pure electric heavy-duty trucks, the performance requirements for vehicle battery thermal management have also been continuously increasing. Currently, most pure electric heavy-duty trucks use either independent thermal management units for their battery thermal management systems, often found in traditional fuel-to-electric conversion models, or the battery thermal management system is integrated with the air conditioning system, which reduces the space required for the thermal management system and facilitates weight reduction and cost reduction. Both solutions can meet the battery pack cooling requirements during driving and regular charging. However, with the continuous increase in charging power of charging piles, the maximum cooling performance of both solutions will eventually be insufficient to meet the battery pack cooling requirements during supercharging.

[0003] To meet the battery pack cooling requirements during supercharging, a standalone battery thermal management unit solution can increase the cooling performance of the unit by increasing the compressor displacement and the size of components such as plate heat exchangers and condensers. However, this increases the complexity of vehicle layout, as well as cost and weight. The integrated battery thermal management system with the air conditioning system is limited by the condenser's placement, making it impossible to increase heat exchange by enlarging its size. Furthermore, the cooling performance of a single compressor is limited. Therefore, a standalone integrated solution is unlikely to meet the battery pack cooling requirements during supercharging.

[0004] To address this, the inventor designed a vehicle thermal management system. Utility Model Content

The battery cooling water pump 15 is connected to the first battery pack 16 and the second battery pack 17. The residual heat in the electric drive cooling circuit can heat the first battery pack 16 and the second battery pack 17.

[0041] Preferably, during low-temperature driving, when the battery pack temperature is low, the waste heat from the electric drive cooling circuit can be used to heat the battery pack. With the electromagnetic three-way valve 14A1 closed and A2 and A3 open, the battery coolant pump 15, PTC heater 22, and the circuits of the first battery pack 16 and the second battery pack 17 are connected. The A3 channel of the electric drive cooling circuit proportional three-way valve 6 is also open, allowing the battery coolant pump 15 and PTC heater 22 to operate. The coolant in the electric drive cooling circuit mixes with the coolant in the battery pack through the proportional three-way valve 6 and the multi-way module 21, utilizing the waste heat from the electric drive cooling circuit to heat the first battery pack 16 and the second battery pack 17. When the electric drive circuit coolant temperature is too high, the battery pack inlet water temperature can be controlled by adjusting the opening of the proportional three-way valve 6.
