  • Patent number: 11975593
    Abstract: A heat pump system, a heat management method and a vehicle are provided. The heat pump system includes an integrated heat exchanger integrated with a superconducting liquid flow passage and a refrigerant flow passage. The refrigerant flow passage is provided inside an on-board refrigerant circulation loop and is used for cooling and/or heating to adjust the temperature within a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The superconducting liquid flow passage is in communication with a motor heat dissipating conduit, for absorbing the heat generated by an on board motor and transferring the heat to the integrated heat exchanger by means of phase change heat transfer. The heat pump system can increase the energy utilization rate for the vehicle and reduce the allowable ambient temperature of the heat pump system.

  • Publication number: 20220015290
    Abstract: An intelligent system and a method for coordinating harvester and logistics vehicle are illustrated. The intelligent system comprises a harvester terminal and a logistics vehicle terminal. The harvester terminal comprises a repository monitoring module and a control module, wherein the repository monitoring module monitors storage information of a storage bin of the harvester. The control module receives the storage information from the repository monitoring module, and determines whether the storage location of the storage bin of the harvester reaches a preset location. The harvester terminal and the logistics vehicle terminal are communicatively connected. When the storage location of the storage bin of the harvester reaches the preset location, the control module sends a transport instruction to the logistics vehicle terminal to control the logistics vehicle to transport grain, thereby achieving intelligent coordination between the harvester and the logistics vehicle.
