DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0048] In the field of travel, travel modes represented by electrification replace traditional fuel vehicles, and pure electric vehicles can bring more comfortable and intelligent user experience, so more and more users choose to purchase pure electric vehicles. For pure electric vehicles, in actual use, users shift their attention from fuel consumption to real vehicle electricity consumption and energy supplement efficiency.

[0049] In order to reduce real vehicle electricity consumption, especially low-temperature electricity consumption, major OEMs have developed heat pump systems to reduce electricity consumption under low-temperature systems; for the problem of energy supplement efficiency, battery manufacturers are constantly researching battery materials to improve battery charging efficiency.

[0050] However, in order to reduce electricity consumption, the heat pump system adopted by the whole vehicle increases many valve parts and components, which increases the cost of the whole heat management system. The vehicles sold with heat pump systems meet the actual needs of users. When pure electric vehicles travel in high-temperature scenes all year round, since the temperature in these areas is basically above 30℃ all year round, the demand for low-temperature heating is small, and the adoption of heat pump systems by the whole vehicle will lead to an increase in cost and waste of resources; at the same time, the improvement of battery charging rate, in normal temperature conditions, there is a demand for battery heating at the initial stage when charging, and the heat management system needs to consider the design of the heating part components and the pipeline system.
