However, the heat exchange medium in the connecting pipeline may not be completely sucked back in the process of back suction, which causes the heat exchange medium to be left in the connecting pipeline and form liquid accumulation, and the liquid flows out during transportation, which is mistaken by the client as leakage of the unit.

[0065] In the present application, the filling valve includes a valve body and a filling connector connected with each other, the valve body is connected with a medium flow path, and the filling connector is used to be connected with a filling device. The filling connector is directly connected with the valve body, so that the filling connector and the valve body do not need to be connected with a connecting pipeline, thereby reducing the use of the connecting pipeline, and further reducing the problem of residual heat exchange medium in the connecting pipeline.

[0069] Specifically, the liquid filling valve 32 is arranged on the medium flow path, when the heat exchange medium is filled, the liquid filling device is connected with the filling connector 322 of the liquid filling valve 32 and the valve body 321 is opened, so that the heat exchange medium enters the medium flow path through the liquid filling valve 32 to realize the filling of the heat exchange medium, after the heat exchange medium is filled, the valve body 321 is closed, and the liquid filling device and the filling connector 322 are separated. The filling connector 322 is connected to the valve body 321, without the need to set a connecting pipeline between the filling connector 322 and the valve body 321, thereby reducing the use of the connecting pipeline, and reducing the problem of residual heat exchange medium in the connecting pipeline.

The connecting portion 3222 is a plate-shaped member, which is annularly arranged outside the joint portion 3221, and is spaced apart from the first and second end portions 32211 and 32212, respectively.

[0095] Specifically, the joint portion 3221 is a tubular member, and the first and second end portions 32211 and 32212 are arranged at the axial ends of the tubular member. The first end portion 32211 is inserted and fitted with the valve body 321 (for example, the first end portion 32211 is inserted and fixed in the connecting hole 3212 of the valve body 321 (they can be bonded or threadedly connected), or the connecting end of the valve body 321 is inserted in the first end portion 32211).

The connecting portion 3222, which is a plate-shaped member, is fixed with the joint portion 3221 by welding.

[0096] The connecting portion 3222 is arranged as a plate-shaped member and is arranged between the first and second end portions 32211 and 32212, which can provide space for mounting other components to the first and second end portions 32211 and 32212, reduce the influence of the connecting portion 3222 on the first and second end portions 32211 and 32212, and improve the convenience of connecting the first end portion 32211 with the valve body 321, and the convenience of connecting the second end portion 32212 with the liquid injection device.

[0097] In addition, when the connecting portion 3222, which is a plate-shaped member, is connected with the support frame 31, the large face (the face with the largest area among the plurality of outer surfaces) of the plate-shaped member abuts against the support frame 31, thereby increasing the contact area with the support frame 31 and improving the connection strength.

[0098] Taking the screw fixation between the connecting portion 3222 and the support frame 31 as an example, when the liquid injection valve 32 is assembled to the support frame 31, a through hole is formed in the support frame 31, the second end portion 32212 of the joint portion 3221 is passed through the through hole, until the connecting portion 3222, which is a plate-shaped member, abuts against the support frame 31, and then the connecting portion 3222, which is a plate-shaped member, is fixed to the support frame 31 by a screw.

[0100] The first protruding ring 32213 is formed on the outer surface of the joint portion 3221 and is coaxially arranged with the joint portion 3221. The first protruding ring 32213 can be integrally formed with the joint portion 3221 or can be arranged on the outer surface of the joint portion 3221 by secondary processing (such as welding or bonding, etc.).

[0101] Specifically, when the liquid injection pipe of the liquid injection device is connected to the joint portion 3221, the liquid injection pipe is sleeved on the body of the joint portion 3221 between the second end portion 32212 and the connecting portion 3222, and a fastener (such as a clamp, etc.) is clamped on the outside of the liquid injection pipe. After the fastener is fastened, the liquid injection pipe at the position of the annular groove 32215 is embedded into the annular groove 32215, thereby fixing the liquid injection pipe on the joint portion 3221.

[0102] The annular groove 32215 is arranged to cooperate with the fastener, thereby reducing the possibility of the liquid injection pipe falling off, and effectively performing the liquid injection operation and reducing the possibility of leakage and overflow of the heat exchange medium.

When the heat exchange medium is filled, the filling device is connected with the filling connector 322 of the filling valve 32 and the valve body 321 is opened, so that the heat exchange medium enters the medium flow path through the filling valve 32 to realize the filling of the heat exchange medium. After the filling of the heat exchange medium is completed, the valve body 321 is closed, and the filling device and the filling connector 322 are separated. The filling device is directly connected to the filling valve 32, which reduces the use of connecting pipelines and thus reduces the problem of residual heat exchange medium.

[0108] It should be understood that in the present application, the number of heat exchange assemblies 33 can be one or two.

[0109] When the number of heat exchange assemblies 33 is one, the heat exchange assembly 33 exchanges heat with the battery cluster 20 arranged in the box 10, so that the battery cluster 20 operates at a suitable temperature.

[0110] When the number of heat exchange assemblies 33 is two, the heat exchange medium circulating in the medium flow path of one of the heat exchange assemblies 33 is refrigerant, and the heat exchange medium circulating in the medium flow path of the other heat exchange assembly 33 is cooling liquid. Among them, the heat exchange assembly 33 circulating with the cooling liquid is used to exchange heat with the battery cluster 20, and the heat exchange assembly 33 circulating with the refrigerant exchanges heat with the heat exchange assembly 33 circulating with the refrigerant.

[0111] As shown in FIG. 1, in the structure shown in FIG. 1, the number of heat exchange assemblies 33 is two, which are a first heat exchange assembly 331 and a second heat exchange assembly 332. Among them, the heat exchange medium in the first heat exchange assembly 331 is refrigerant, i.e. the first heat exchange assembly 331 is a refrigerant assembly, and the heat exchange medium in the second heat exchange assembly 332 is cooling liquid, i.e. the second heat exchange assembly 332 is a cooling liquid assembly.

[0112] Specifically, the first heat exchange assembly 331 comprises a first heat exchanger 3311 (for example, a finned radiator or a plate heat exchanger, etc.), a compressor 3312, a throttling element 3313 (for example, a capillary tube or a throttle valve, etc.) and a second heat exchanger 3314 (for example, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger or a plate heat exchanger, etc.), the second heat exchanger 3314 comprises a first flow channel and a second flow channel, the first flow channel and the second flow channel are isolated from each other and can exchange heat with each other, the throttling element 3313, the first heat exchanger 3311 and the compressor 3312 are connected in series between the inlet and the outlet of the first flow channel, thereby forming a medium flow path for circulating the refrigerant, the second heat exchange assembly 332 comprises a third heat exchanger 3321 (for example, a finned radiator or a plate heat exchanger, etc.) and a driving pump 3322, the third heat exchanger 3321 is connected in communication with the inlet and the outlet of the second flow channel, thereby forming a medium flow path for circulating the cooling liquid, the driving pump 3322 is arranged on the pipeline in communication with the third heat exchanger 3321 and the second flow channel, and is used to drive the cooling liquid to circulate between the third heat exchanger 3321 and the second flow channel, and a liquid injection valve 32 is arranged on the pipeline in communication with the third heat exchanger 3321 and the second flow channel, and the liquid injection valve 32 is used to add the cooling liquid.

[0113] When the battery cluster 20 is subjected to heat exchange, the first heat exchange assembly 331 and the second heat exchange assembly 332 are both operated, the refrigerant circulates in the medium flow path formed by the first heat exchange assembly 331, and the cooling liquid circulates in the medium flow path of the second heat exchange assembly 332, the refrigerant circulating to the first flow channel position exchanges heat with the cooling liquid circulating to the second flow channel position, the cooling liquid after heat exchange enters the third heat exchanger 3321, and exchanges heat with the battery cluster 20 through the third heat exchanger 3321, and the cooling liquid after heat exchange with the battery cluster 20 is circulated to the second flow channel again to exchange heat with the refrigerant again; the refrigerant after heat exchange with the cooling liquid circulates to the first heat exchanger 3311 to exchange heat with the external air, and the refrigerant after heat exchange through the first heat exchanger 3311 is circulated to the first flow channel again to exchange heat with the cooling liquid again.

[0114] In the present application, the heat exchange system 30 can both heat and cool the battery cluster 20. When the current temperature of the battery cluster 20 is lower than the preset temperature range, the heat exchange system 30 heats the battery cluster 20, and when the current temperature of the battery cluster 20 is higher than the preset temperature range, the heat exchange system 30 cools the battery cluster 20 (i.e., heats the battery cluster 20).

[0115] The following will be described in detail by taking the heat dissipation of the battery cluster 20 by the heat exchange system 30 as an example:

[0116] The heat exchange system 30 exchanges heat with the battery cluster 20. When the heat exchange system 30 exchanges heat with the battery cluster 20, the refrigerant exchanges heat with the air at the position of the condenser (the first heat exchanger 3311) under the driving of the compressor (before the heat exchange, the refrigerant is in a gaseous state, and the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced after the heat exchange with the air, so that the refrigerant changes from the gaseous state to a liquid state). The refrigerant that has exchanged heat with the air at the condenser (the first heat exchanger 3311) flows into the first flow channel of the evaporator (the second heat exchanger 3314). The refrigerant in the first flow channel of the evaporator exchanges heat with the cooling liquid in the second flow channel of the evaporator (before the heat exchange, the refrigerant is in a liquid state, and the temperature of the refrigerant is increased after the heat exchange with the cooling liquid, so that the refrigerant changes from the liquid state to a gaseous state, and the temperature of the cooling liquid is reduced). The refrigerant that flows out of the evaporator flows into the condenser again to circulate. The cooling liquid that flows out of the evaporator flows into the third heat exchanger 3321 and exchanges heat with the battery cluster 20 (after the heat exchange between the cooling liquid and the battery cluster 20, the temperature of the battery cluster 20 is reduced, and the temperature of the cooling liquid is increased). The cooling liquid that has exchanged heat with the battery cluster 20 flows out of the third heat exchanger 3321 and returns to the evaporator to circulate.

By arranging the heat exchange system 30 outside the cabinet 10, the internal space of the cabinet 10 can be occupied, and the space utilization of the cabinet 10 can be improved.
