Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive thermal management technology, and in particular to a thermal management system and an automobile. Background Technology
[0002] Unlike traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, pure electric vehicles eliminate components such as fuel tanks, engines, transmissions, cooling systems, and exhaust systems. While this can reduce the cost of parts, the absence of engine waste heat in pure electric vehicles, especially in low-temperature environments, means that cabin heating requires additional electrical energy to maintain passenger comfort and ensure that the three-electric system operates within its optimal temperature range. This undoubtedly increases the energy consumption of electric vehicles.
[0003] In existing technologies, the semiconductor wind-side PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) electric heaters commonly used in electric vehicles significantly reduce driving range, causing a 50% to 60% decrease in range during winter. To improve the driving range of pure electric vehicles, efficient thermal management systems have emerged. Among them, indirect thermal management systems, due to their flexibility in refrigerant selection and heat / cold distribution, as well as their ability to achieve high system integration, have become an important research direction for next-generation vehicle thermal management.
[0004] In indirect thermal management systems, the refrigerant bypasses the passenger compartment, expanding the range of refrigerant options. The air conditioning unit uses heating and cooling cores instead of indoor condensers and evaporators. The refrigerant circulates in the refrigerant loop, exchanging heat with the coolant in the water-cooled condenser and battery cooler to achieve cooling or heating. However, due to the added intermediate heat exchange stage, some loss of cooling or heating occurs during the transfer process, affecting the system's heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, to meet the different thermal management needs of the passenger compartment, battery, and motor / electronic control systems, the application of different types and numbers of multi-way valves increases the difficulty of multi-way valve development, and the internal heat and mass transfer within the multi-way valves significantly impacts the system's heat exchange performance.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new type of thermal management system and automobile to solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the thermal management system in this embodiment includes an air conditioning system 100, a motor thermal management system, a battery module thermal management system, and a refrigerant circuit. The air conditioning system 100 is used for heat exchange with the passenger compartment and includes a cold air core 14 and a warm air core 15 connected in parallel.

[0055] The automotive thermal management system provided in this embodiment divides the coolant circuit into six channels through a combination of the first eight-way valve 12 and a multi-way valve assembly, achieving series and parallel connections between the channels. While meeting the thermal management requirements of the passenger compartment, battery pack, and motor control system, this system improves integration, reduces the number of refrigerant circuit components, and simplifies refrigerant piping design. Furthermore, during passenger compartment heating or cooling, the system increases the heat exchange area between the coolant and air by connecting the cold air core 14 and the warm air core 15 in series, improving heat exchange efficiency.

This thermal management system improves heat transfer efficiency, enhances cooling and heating effects, and increases integration, reducing system development and manufacturing costs.
[0056] Example 1
[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the multi-way valve assembly includes a third three-way valve 21 and a second eight-way valve 20. The second eight-way valve 20 is provided with ports b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, and b8. The inlet of the third three-way valve 21 is connected to port b7, and the two outlets of the third three-way valve 21 are respectively connected to the inlet of the low-temperature radiator 22 and the inlet of the motor thermal management device 24.
[0058] Optionally, the refrigerant circuit includes a compressor 1, a water-cooled condenser 2, a first electronic expansion valve 4, and an evaporator 5, which are connected in sequence to form the circuit. The high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant at the compressor 1 discharge port flows through the water-cooled condenser 2, exchanges heat with the coolant, releases heat and condenses within the condenser 2, then passes through the first electronic expansion valve 4 for throttling. Subsequently, the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator 5, exchanges heat with the coolant, and the gaseous refrigerant, after absorbing heat and evaporating, returns to the compressor 1, thus completing the cycle. The refrigerant circuit layout is simple, reducing the number of refrigerant-side components and simplifying the refrigerant-side piping arrangement. The compact space arrangement allows for high integration of the refrigerant side, thereby reducing the refrigerant charge. Heat exchange occurs between the refrigerant and coolant within the water-cooled condenser 2 and the evaporator 5.
[0059] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the refrigerant selection range includes, but is not limited to, refrigerants such as R134a, R1234yf, R290, R744, R717, R410a, R152a, R22, R32, R404a, and R600a, or any combination of two or more of these refrigerants. The coolant selection range includes, but is not limited to, water, antifreeze, or an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol in any proportion.
[0060] Furthermore, the aforementioned water-cooled condenser 2 is connected to a liquid receiver 3. The liquid receiver 3 is used to expand and regulate the fluid capacity of the refrigerant circuit, avoid liquid slugging, and improve the reliability of the refrigerant circuit.
[0061] Optionally, a first water pump 10 is installed at the heat exchange inlet of the evaporator 5, and a second water pump 16 is installed at the heat exchange inlet of the water-cooled condenser 2. The water pumps are used to ensure the continuous flow of fluid in the piping system, which will not be described in detail here.
[0062] In this embodiment, the battery module thermal management system includes a battery module thermal management device 19 and a third water pump 18 connected in sequence. This structure can achieve battery pack temperature equalization. Utilizing the large specific heat capacity of the coolant, the third water pump 18 drives the coolant flow, improving the temperature uniformity between battery cells.
[0063] Optionally, the air conditioning system 100 further includes a blower 13, which blows air onto the cold air core 14 and the warm air core 15; the low-temperature radiator 22 is equipped with an electric fan 23, which guides the airflow passing through the low-temperature radiator 22 to enhance heat exchange. The coolant flows through the cold air core 14 and the warm air core 15, exchanging heat with the air, and the blower 13 blows the heat-exchanged air towards the passenger compartment, thereby achieving passenger compartment thermal management. The electric fan 23 enhances the heat dissipation effect of the low-temperature radiator 22.
[0064] Specifically, the second branch of the sixth passage of the coolant circuit is equipped with a water-side electric heater 25. The water-side electric heater 25 can be equipped with a low-voltage electric heater, replacing the solution of directly arranging the high-voltage electric heater in the air conditioning unit with a low-power electric heater. This reduces system costs, and by connecting it in series with the first water pump 10, the evaporator 5 and the first three-way valve 11, it can serve as a supplementary heat source in low-temperature environments, thereby expanding the system's operating boundaries and meeting the thermal needs of the passenger compartment.
[0065] Specifically, the air conditioning system 100, the motor thermal management system, and the battery module thermal management system constitute a coolant circuit. The coolant circuit includes six pathways. In the first pathway, the first water pump 10, evaporator 5, and first three-way valve 11 are connected in series, then branch into two branches. The first branch connects to the first eight-way valve 12, and the second branch connects to the second eight-way valve 20. The flow rate of the coolant at the outlet of evaporator 5 is regulated by the first three-way proportional valve 11, thereby achieving cooling distribution. In the second pathway, the second water pump 16, water-cooled condenser 2, and second three-way valve 17 are connected in series, then branch into two branches. The first branch connects to the first eight-way valve 12, and the second branch connects to the second eight-way valve 20. The flow rate of the coolant at the outlet of water-cooled condenser 2 is regulated by the second three-way proportional valve 17, thereby achieving heat distribution. The third pathway includes a cold air core 14. The fourth pathway includes a warm air core 15. The fifth pathway connects the third water pump 18 and the battery module thermal management device 19. The sixth passage connects the third three-way valve 21, the low-temperature radiator 22, the motor thermal management device 24, and the water-side electric heater 25. Within the sixth passage, the third three-way valve 21 divides it into two branches. The first branch connects the low-temperature radiator 22, the motor thermal management device 24, and the water-side electric heater 25. The second branch connects only the motor thermal management device 24 and the water-side electric heater 25. The cooling fan 23 primarily enhances heat exchange between the low-temperature radiator 22 and the environment.
[0066] In this embodiment, both the first three-way valve 11 and the second three-way valve 17 are proportional three-way valves. The first three-way valve 11 can regulate the flow rate of low-temperature coolant into and outside the passenger compartment, thereby achieving cooling distribution. The second three-way valve 17 can regulate the flow rate of high-temperature coolant into and outside the passenger compartment, thereby achieving heat distribution.
[0067] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the flow channel topology for three valve core modes of the first eight-way valve 12. In the first mode, arranged from left to right, ports a7 and a5 are connected, a2 and a3 are connected, and a4 and a8 are connected. The coolant from the evaporator 5 outlet flows through port a7 sequentially through the warm air core 15 and the cold air core 14, which are connected in series. This achieves cabin cooling, increases the heat exchange area between the coolant and air, and improves the cooling effect. In the second mode, ports a7 and a3 are connected, and a4 and a8 are connected. The coolant from the evaporator 5 outlet flows through port a7 through the cold air core 14, exchanging heat with the air to cool and condense it. Ports a6 and a5 are connected, and a2 and a1 are connected. The coolant from the water-cooled condenser 2 outlet flows through port a6 through the warm air core 15, exchanging heat with the air to raise its temperature, thus achieving cabin cooling / dehumidification or heating / dehumidification. In the third mode, ports A6 and A5 are connected, ports A2 and A3 are connected, and ports A4 and A1 are connected. The coolant from the outlet of the water-cooled condenser 2 flows through port A6 sequentially through the warm air core 15 and the cold air core 14, and the cold air core 14 and the warm air core 15 are connected in series to achieve heating of the passenger compartment, increase the heat exchange area between the coolant and the air, and improve the heating effect.

In the first mode, according to the left-to-right arrangement, port b6 is connected to port b7, and port b8 is connected to port b1. The coolant from the outlet of the water-cooled condenser 2 reaches the third three-way valve 21 via port b6, and then sequentially passes through the low-temperature radiator 22, the motor-controlled thermal management device 24, and the water-side electric heater 25, achieving environmental heat release and cooling of the motor-controlled low-temperature radiator 22. Port b5 is connected to port b4, and port b3 is connected to port b2. The coolant from the outlet of the evaporator 5 cools the battery pack via port b5. In the second mode, ports b6 and b7 are connected, and ports b8 and b1 are connected. The coolant from the outlet of the water-cooled condenser 2 reaches the third three-way valve 21 through port b6, and then passes through the low-temperature radiator 22, the motor electronically controlled thermal management device 24, and the water-side electric heater 25 in sequence to achieve environmental heat dissipation and cooling of the motor electronically controlled low-temperature radiator 22. Ports b3 and b4 are connected, and the battery pack coolant is self-circulated by the third water pump 18 to achieve uniform temperature of the battery pack. In the third mode, ports b5 and b7 are connected, and ports b8 and b2 are connected. The coolant from the outlet of evaporator 5 reaches the third three-way valve 21 through port b5, and then passes through the first branch of the third three-way valve 21 in sequence through the low-temperature radiator 22, the motor electric control thermal management device 24, and the water-side electric heater 25 to achieve environmental heat absorption and motor electric control waste heat recovery; or it passes through the second branch of the third three-way valve 21 in sequence through the motor electric control thermal management device 24 and the water-side electric heater 25 to achieve motor electric control waste heat recovery or to use the water-side electric heater 25 to achieve low-temperature heat generation; ports b3 and b4 are connected, and the battery pack coolant is driven by the third water pump 18 to circulate, so as to achieve uniform temperature of the battery pack. In the fourth mode, ports b5 and b7 are connected, and ports b8 and b2 are connected. The coolant from the outlet of evaporator 5 reaches the third three-way valve 21 through port b5, and then passes through the first branch of the third three-way valve 21 in sequence through the low-temperature radiator 22, the motor electric control thermal management device 24, and the water-side electric heater 25 to achieve environmental heat absorption and motor electric control waste heat recovery; or it passes through the second branch of the third three-way valve 21 in sequence through the motor electric control thermal management device 24 and the water-side electric heater 25 to achieve motor electric control waste heat recovery or use the water-side electric heater 25 to achieve low-temperature heat generation; ports b6 and b4 are connected, and ports b3 and b1 are connected.

[0088] Figure 25 This diagram illustrates a vehicle thermal management system operating under conditions of defrosting the low-temperature radiator 22, heating the passenger compartment, and equalizing the battery pack temperature. By combining the third valve core mode of the first eight-way valve 12 with the second valve core mode of the second eight-way valve 20, defrosting of the low-temperature radiator 22, heating of the passenger compartment, and equalization of the battery pack temperature are achieved. Specifically, by adjusting the second three-way valve 17, heat is precisely distributed between the low-temperature radiator 22 and the passenger compartment. When the ambient temperature is below 0°C and the air humidity is high, condensation easily forms on the surface of the low-temperature radiator 22 during heat exchange with the environment, leading to frost formation, increasing the thermal resistance of the frost layer, and reducing heat exchange efficiency. By combining the two eight-way valves, defrosting of the low-temperature radiator 22 can be achieved without affecting the heating needs of the passenger compartment.

[0090] In low-temperature environments, for thermal management systems using R134a as the refrigerant, especially at ambient temperatures below -10°C, the system's heating efficiency decreases as the ambient temperature drops. To improve heating efficiency and broaden the lower limit of the system's operating ambient temperature, the second embodiment of this application adds a hot gas bypass function. For example... Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the thermal management system structure of Embodiment 2 of this application. The difference between Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 is that a hot gas bypass function is added in Embodiment 2.
[0091] Optionally, the refrigerant circuit further includes a second electronic expansion valve 6, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the compressor 1, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the evaporator 5. The second electronic expansion valve 6 constitutes another branch of the refrigerant circuit. This other branch of the refrigerant circuit includes connections to the discharge port of the compressor 1 and the inlet of the evaporator 5 in sequence. In low-temperature environments, by adjusting the opening of the second electronic expansion valve 6, the flow rate of the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the discharge port of the compressor 1 is controlled to enter the evaporator 5 after being throttled by the second electronic expansion valve 6, thereby increasing the evaporation pressure and steplessly adjusting the cooling capacity of the evaporator 5. This avoids frequent start-stop of the compressor 1 under low-load conditions, improves system energy efficiency, ensures good suction conditions for the compressor 1, and enhances its reliability. This embodiment is applicable to, but not limited to, thermal management systems with a liquid receiver 3, and can also be used in thermal management systems with a gas-liquid separator.

[0093] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that a ten-way valve 30 is used instead of the second eight-way valve 20. This ensures that the system's functional mode remains unchanged even without the third three-way valve 21, reduces the difficulty of pipeline layout, reduces the number of components, and further improves system integration. Specifically, the multi-way valve assembly includes a ten-way valve 30, which has ports b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8, c1, and c2. Port b8 is connected to the outlet of the cryogenic radiator 22, port c1 is connected to the outlet of the cryogenic radiator 22 and selectively connected to port b8, port b7 is connected to the inlet of the cryogenic radiator 22, and port c2 is connected to the inlet of the motor-controlled thermal management device 24.

In the fourth valve core mode, port b5 is connected to port b7, port b8 is connected to port b1, and port c2 is connected to port b2. The coolant from the outlet of evaporator 5 passes through port b5, and then sequentially passes through low-temperature radiator 22, motor electric control thermal management device 24, and water-side electric heater 25 to achieve environmental heat absorption and motor electric control waste heat recovery. Port b6 is connected to port b4, and port b3 is connected to port b1. The coolant from the outlet of water-cooled condenser 2 heats the battery pack through port b6. In the fifth valve core mode, ports B6 and B7 are connected, and ports B8 and B1 are connected. The coolant from the outlet of the water-cooled condenser 2 defrosts the low-temperature radiator 22 via port B6. Ports B5 and C1 are connected, and ports C2 and B2 are connected.

[0096] The combination of the first eight-way valve 12 valve core mode and the ten-way valve 30 valve core mode in the third embodiment can also meet the thermal management needs of the passenger compartment, battery pack and motor under various working conditions.
[0097] Example 4
[0098] like Figure 27 As shown, the only difference between Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 3 is the addition of the hot gas bypass function found in Embodiment 2. That is, the refrigerant circuit also includes a second electronic expansion valve 6, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the compressor 1, and the other end to the inlet of the evaporator 5. In low-temperature environments, by adjusting the opening of the second electronic expansion valve 6, the flow rate of the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor 1 is controlled, allowing it to enter the evaporator 5 after being throttled by the second electronic expansion valve 6. This increases the evaporation pressure, enabling stepless adjustment of the evaporator 5's cooling capacity, preventing frequent start-stop of the compressor 1 under low-load conditions, improving system energy efficiency, ensuring good suction conditions for the compressor 1, and enhancing its reliability.
[0099] This embodiment also provides a vehicle including a thermal management system as described in any of the above embodiments. Specifically, the vehicle in this embodiment is a pure electric vehicle without an engine or range extender, relying solely on the battery pack and motor waste heat for thermal management, which will not be elaborated further here. The thermal management system used in this vehicle divides the coolant circuit into six channels through a combination of a first eight-way valve 12 and a multi-way valve assembly, achieving series and parallel connections between the channels. While meeting the thermal management requirements of the passenger compartment, battery pack, and motor electronic control, it improves the integration of the thermal management system, reduces the number of refrigerant circuit components, and simplifies refrigerant piping design. Furthermore, when the passenger compartment is heating or cooling, the thermal management system can increase the heat exchange area between the coolant and air by connecting the cold air core 14 and the warm air core 15 in series, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, it utilizes the waste heat from the motor electronic control or the water-side electric heater 25 for low-temperature heat generation, thereby enhancing the system's heating capacity in low-temperature environments.
