Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pump technology, and in particular to a heat pump system for a new energy power system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most domestic pure electric mobile mechanical air conditioning systems use R134a refrigerant, but its high GWP value (1430) can easily damage the ozone layer and exacerbate the greenhouse effect.

[0003] From July 1, 2029, refrigerants with a GWP exceeding 150 will be prohibited from use in the air conditioning systems of new M1 category vehicles. R290 refrigerant is environmentally friendly and can replace R134a, with a low GWP and excellent low-temperature performance, but it is flammable and requires dual-channel indirect heat exchange for safety. While R290-based heat pump systems offer advantages in environmental protection and thermal management, they face challenges related to safety and compatibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat pump system for a new energy power system, which aims to solve the problem of poor safety performance of existing heat pump systems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this utility model provides a heat pump system for a new energy power system, including an electronic water pump group, a refrigeration unit group, an electronic expansion valve group, a three-way proportional valve group, a five-way proportional valve group, a cold air core, a warm air core, a radiator, a fan, a compressor, a blower, a water-cooled condenser, a gas-liquid separator, and an expansion tank group.

[0006] The electronic water pump unit circulates coolant in the passenger compartment, battery pack, and motor control system, adjusting the coolant flow direction and velocity to meet heat exchange requirements. The refrigeration unit unit facilitates heat exchange between the refrigerant and coolant. The electronic expansion valve unit throttles and reduces pressure, adjusts the refrigerant saturation temperature to achieve phase change heat transfer, regulates refrigerant flow, and controls cooling output. The three-way and five-way proportional valve units provide precise proportional control of coolant flow. The cooling core absorbs heat from the coolant to cool the passenger compartment, while the heating core releases heat from the coolant to heat the passenger compartment. The radiator dissipates the heat absorbed by the coolant into the environment, and the fan-assisted radiator removes heat by driving airflow. The compressor transports the refrigerant. The blower accelerates heat exchange between the indoor heat exchanger and the air. The water-cooled condenser dissipates refrigerant heat in summer and absorbs heat in winter. The gas-liquid separator separates liquid and gas from the refrigerant. The expansion tank unit provides liquid to the coolant circuit and discharges gas.

[0007] The electronic water pump group includes electronic water pump one, electronic water pump two, and electronic water pump three. Electronic water pump one, electronic water pump two, and electronic water pump three are respectively used to realize the circulation of coolant in the motor control, passenger compartment, and battery pack circuit.

[0008] The refrigeration unit group includes refrigeration unit one and refrigeration unit two. Refrigeration unit one is responsible for refrigerating the passenger compartment, while refrigeration unit two provides refrigeration for the battery pack and recovers waste heat from the motor and electronic control system.

[0009] The electronic expansion valve assembly includes electronic expansion valve one and electronic expansion valve two, which are used to control the refrigerant flow and adjust the cooling capacity of each part.

[0010] The three-way proportional valve assembly includes a three-way proportional valve one, a three-way proportional valve two, and a three-way proportional valve three. All three valves are used to achieve proportional control of the coolant flow in different directions.

[0011] The five-way proportional valve group includes a five-way proportional valve one and a five-way proportional valve two, both of which are used to achieve proportional control of coolant flow in different directions.

[0014] Real-time monitoring of temperature and operating conditions of the passenger compartment, battery pack, motor, and electronic control system;

[0015] Based on the monitoring results, activate the corresponding working mode;

[0016] Adjust the operation of the compressor, refrigeration unit, W-PTC, electric water pump unit, fan and proportional valve.

[0017] This utility model discloses a heat pump system for a new energy power system. Upon system startup, sensors monitor the temperature and operating conditions of the passenger compartment, battery pack, motor, and electronic control system. Based on the monitoring data, the control system determines and selects a suitable operating mode. In the selected mode, corresponding actuators are activated, precisely regulating the flow rate and direction of coolant and refrigerant via proportional valves and electronic expansion valves. The system continuously monitors temperature changes; when a preset exit condition is reached, the corresponding mode ends, and the system returns to standby mode, awaiting the next control command. Using R290 refrigerant meets regulatory requirements for low GWP refrigerants, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the ozone layer. Through precise control of the proportional valve and the synergistic effect of multiple heat exchange devices, it can flexibly adapt to different operating conditions, meeting the thermal management needs of the passenger compartment, battery pack, and motor / electronic control system. The use of dual indirect heat exchange reduces the safety hazards posed by the flammability of R290 refrigerant. By recovering and utilizing waste heat through the heat pump system, the energy consumption of additional heating is reduced, improving the overall vehicle energy efficiency. This solves the problem of poor safety performance in existing heat pump systems. Attached Figure Description

[0121] Specifically, when the passenger compartment is detected to require cooling, such as when the air conditioning is turned on, the passenger compartment cooling mode is activated. If the battery temperature is too high and the ambient temperature is low (e.g., battery temperature above 28°C and ambient temperature below 10°C), the battery cooling mode is activated. When the ambient temperature is too low, such as below -15°C, the heating mode is activated, and W-PTC auxiliary heating is enabled.

[0122] S3 regulates the operation of compressor 5, refrigeration unit, W-PTC, electronic water pump unit, fan and proportional valve.

[0123] Specifically, the power of compressor 5 is adjusted according to cooling or heating needs, controlling the refrigerant flow and pressure. The refrigerant flow of the refrigeration units (such as refrigeration unit 12 and refrigeration unit 13) is regulated via electronic expansion valves to meet the cooling requirements of the passenger compartment and battery pack. When heating is required, the W-PTC unit is activated to provide heat to the passenger compartment. The operating frequency of the electronic water pump is adjusted to control the coolant circulation speed to adapt to different thermal management needs. The fan speed is adjusted according to heat dissipation requirements to enhance heat dissipation. The flow direction and distribution ratio of the coolant are controlled using proportional valves to ensure that each system receives appropriate cooling or heating.

Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of this utility model still fall within the scope of the utility model.
