Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated coolant module applied to a thermal management system of a vehicle, and more particularly to a coolant connection and fixing structure between a liquid storage tank and a coolant control module. Background Art

[0002] Recently, due to the electrification of vehicles, the need for thermal management of electrical components such as vehicle interior, batteries, motors, etc. has greatly expanded. Therefore, thermal management systems for vehicles have become increasingly complex to perform thermal management on each component independently and at the same time integrate the overall thermal management of the vehicle to improve thermal efficiency.

[0003] In order to perform such integrated thermal management of the vehicle, complex coolant lines and components need to be integrated and modularized, and therefore a coolant module is proposed, which integrates a tank for storing coolant, a pump for pressing and delivering the coolant, and a valve for controlling the flow direction and flow rate of the coolant.

[0004] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional coolant module, and the conventional coolant module 90 includes a reservoir 91 in which a coolant is stored and contained, a valve 92 fluidly connected to the reservoir, and a pump 93 fluidly connected to the valve.

[0005] As shown in the figure, generally, a coolant inlet pipe 91P is provided at the reservoir 91 side, a separate coolant inlet pipe 92P is provided at the valve 92 (or pump, hereinafter limited to the valve) side, and the pipe 91P at the reservoir side is connected by being inserted into the pipe 92P at the valve side, thereby forming a structure in which the coolant communicates between the reservoir 91 and the valve 92. In addition, a fixing member 95 for fixing the reservoir and the valve is provided near the connection portion of the pipes 91P and 92P.

[0006] In this case, the reservoir tank 91 is manufactured by injection molding, and when the coolant inlet pipe 91P is formed on the reservoir tank 91 by injection molding, a minimum space is required near the pipe 91P for forming the corresponding pipe 91P, so there is an area in a predetermined area near the pipe where structure formation is impossible. Figure 2 is a diagram showing the tubes and fixing members at the tank side, and as shown in the diagram, there is a space PP required for the mold in a predetermined area near the tubes, so there is a problem that the fixing member 95 for fixing the tank and the valve cannot be set close to the tubes 91P and 92P.

[0007] in addition, Figure 3 yes Figure 1An enlarged view of the connecting portion between the tubes in FIG. 1 is shown, and as shown in the figure, when the tube 91P at the tank side is inserted into the tube 92P at the valve side, the inner diameter of the tube 92P at the valve side is different from the inner diameter of the tube 91P at the tank side, and therefore there is a problem of pressure loss occurring at the connecting point between the two tubes.

[0039] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Figure 4 is a diagram showing an integrated coolant module according to one embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in the diagram, the integrated coolant module 10 of the present invention includes a reservoir tank 100 and a coolant control module 200 .

[0041] The reservoir tank 100 has a hollow portion therein, and the coolant is contained and stored in the hollow portion. The outer wall structure forming the hollow space of the reservoir tank 100 may be referred to as a tank body. The reservoir tank 100 may have one or more coolant inlet pipes through which the coolant enters and leaves, and a coolant inlet through which the coolant is replenished, and a coolant cap for closing the coolant inlet may be provided on the upper portion of the reservoir tank 100.

[0042] The coolant control module 200 corresponds to a component of a cooling system in which a valve 210 and a pump 220 are modularized and integrated, and the coolant control module 200 includes at least one valve 210 and a pump 220. As an example, as shown in the figure, the coolant control module 200 may be formed as a structure in which the valve 210 is provided at the center and the first pump 220-1 and the second pump 220-2 are provided at both sides thereof. The valve 210 may be a multi-directional automated valve 210 for controlling the flow path of the coolant, and the pump 220 may be a coolant pump 220 for pressing and delivering the coolant. In addition, although not shown, the coolant control module 200 may further include a controller for controlling the valve 210 and the pump 220, and the corresponding controller may be formed by a printed circuit board (PCB) having electronic components and provided at one side of the coolant control module 200. In addition, although not shown, the coolant control module 200 may further include a housing that also accommodates the controller in addition to the valve 210 and the pump 220. The coolant control module 200 is mounted and coupled to one side of the reservoir 100 , for example, a lower portion of the reservoir 100 , to form the integrated coolant module 10 together with the reservoir 100 .

[0043] refer to Figure 4, the coolant stored in the tank 100 can flow to the valve 210 of the coolant control module 200, the coolant flowing from the valve 210 to the first pump 220-1 can circulate a first coolant path passing through the battery in a method of being discharged through the coolant inlet pipe of the first pump 220-1, passing through the battery, and then being reintroduced through the first coolant inlet pipe of the tank 100, and the coolant flowing from the valve 210 to the second pump 220-2 can circulate a second coolant path passing through the electronic components in a method of being discharged through the coolant inlet pipe of the second pump 220-2, passing through the electronic components, and then being reintroduced through the second coolant inlet pipe of the tank 100.

[0044] In this case, the integrated coolant module 10 of the present invention is configured to form a through hole 110 at the side of the reservoir 100, form a coolant pipe 230 at the side of the coolant control module 200, and connect the through hole 110 to the coolant pipe 230 so that the coolant flows between the reservoir 100 and the coolant control module 200.

[0045] Specifically, a through hole 110 as a coolant inlet penetrating one surface 100A of the reservoir tank (e.g., the lower surface of the tank body) may be formed at the coolant control module 200 side, and a coolant pipe 230 as a coolant inlet formed to protrude from one side of the coolant control module 200 (e.g., the upper portion of the valve 210 or the pump 220 or the upper portion of the above-mentioned housing of the coolant control module 200) may be provided at the coolant control module 200 side. In addition, the through hole 110 and the coolant pipe 230 are connected so that the coolant can flow between the reservoir tank 100 and the coolant control module 200, that is, between the reservoir tank 100 and the valve 210 or between the reservoir tank 100 and the pump 220.

[0046] As described in the background art, conventionally, an inlet pipe is formed at each of the reservoir side and the valve side (i.e., the coolant control module side), and the two inlet pipes are coupled by being inserted into each other, but the present invention is different from the related art in that the coolant inlet at the reservoir 100 side is formed as a through hole 110. This is intended to overcome the above-mentioned problems of the related art, and will be described in more detail below.

[0047] Hereinafter, a coolant connection structure between the through hole 110 at the reservoir 100 side and the coolant pipe 230 at the coolant control module 200 side will be described in detail.

[0048] Figure 5 yes Figure 4 is an enlarged view of section C in FIG. Figure 6 It is shown Figure 41 is a perspective view of one surface of the reservoir tank of part C in FIG. As shown in the figure, the coolant connection structure of the present invention can be formed into a structure in which the protruding rib 120 of the tube structure surrounding the through hole 110 is provided on one surface 100A of the reservoir tank, and the end of the coolant tube 230 is inserted into the protruding rib 120. This helps to improve the connectivity between the through hole 110 and the coolant tube 230 and enhance the fixing strength of the coolant tube 230.

[0049] In this case, the inner diameter of the protruding rib 120 may be formed to be larger than the diameter of the through hole 110, so that the outer peripheral wall of the protruding rib 120 may be disposed to be radially spaced apart from the through hole 110 by a predetermined distance. That is, the protruding rib 120 and the through hole 110 are concentrically disposed, and the inner diameter of the protruding rib 120 is formed to be larger than the diameter of the through hole 110, so that the outer peripheral wall of the protruding rib 120 is radially spaced apart from the through hole 110 by a predetermined distance to surround the periphery of the through hole 110. Therefore, an annular ring portion 110A of one surface 100A of the reservoir tank may be formed between the outer peripheral wall of the protruding rib 120 and the through hole 110, and the front end of the coolant pipe 230 inserted into the protruding rib 120 may be seated in the corresponding annular portion 110A.

[0050] By adopting such a structure, a constant width of the coolant channel between the reservoir 100 and the valve 210 can be formed. Specifically, the inner diameter of the coolant tube 230 and the diameter of the through hole 110 are formed to be the same, so that a constant width of the coolant channel can be formed at the connection point between the two components. As a preferred example, the thickness 230_D of the coolant tube 230 can be formed to be equal to the width 110A_D of the annular portion 110A, so that the inner diameter of the coolant tube 230 and the diameter of the through hole 110 can be formed to be the same, thereby solving the conventional pressure loss problem that occurs at the connection point between the two tubes due to the difference between the inner diameter of the tube at the reservoir side and the inner diameter of the tube at the valve 210.

[0051] Meanwhile, the present invention restrictively describes the case where the through hole 110 , the protruding rib 120 , and the coolant tube 230 are circular or cylindrical, but it is apparent that a polygonal structure may also be applied.

[0052] Return to reference Figures 4 to 6, one surface 100A of the reservoir tank can be formed to have a uniform thickness over the entire area. That is, the present invention can be formed not as a structure in which a predetermined area of ​​one surface of the reservoir tank (i.e., one surface of the tank body) is formed to be thicker than other areas and a through hole is formed in the thicker formed area, but as a structure in which a through hole 110 is directly formed in one surface 100A of the reservoir tank, which generally has a uniform thickness without such treatment. In addition, a protruding rib 120 is formed near the through hole 110 of such a structure. This is different from a general coolant pipe structure or a through hole structure formed at the reservoir tank side in the related art, and can provide advantages in structure or manufacturing accordingly.

[0053] Return to reference Figure 5 , a sealing structure 300 for sealing the coolant to prevent external leakage of the coolant may be provided on the connection portion between the protruding rib 120 and the coolant tube 230. The sealing structure 300 of the present invention may include: an O-ring 310, which is interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the protruding rib 120 and the outer peripheral surface of the coolant tube 230 to seal the coolant tube 230 using lateral pressure; and an annular gasket 320, which is interposed between the annular portion 110A and the front end of the coolant tube 230 to seal the coolant tube 230 using surface pressure. One or a combination of both of the O-ring 310 and the annular gasket 320 may be applied to the connection portion between the protruding rib 120 and the coolant tube 230.

[0054] In this case, both the O-ring 310 and the annular gasket 320 can be selectively applied to different connection parts. That is, the through hole 110, the protruding rib 120 and the coolant tube 230 can form a group, can form a plurality of groups, and at least one group of them can only be adapted to the O-ring 310, while the other group can only be adapted to the annular gasket 320. Figure 4 , the through hole 110, the protruding rib 120 and the coolant tube 230 can each be formed into two to form two groups, and when the two groups are each referred to as a first group of connecting parts and a second group of connecting parts, the first group of connecting parts can be provided with only the O-ring 310 among the O-ring 310 and the annular gasket 320, and the second group of connecting parts can be provided with only the annular gasket 320 among the O-ring 310 and the annular gasket 320.

[0055] Generally, it is structurally difficult to fixedly insert two or more coolant tubes together with O-rings into two or more different tubes, but the present invention can greatly improve the assemblability of the corresponding structure and at the same time ensure airtightness by applying the O-ring 310 only to one coolant tube 230 and applying the annular gasket 320 only to the other coolant tube 230 when each of the two or more coolant tubes 230 is inserted into each of the two or more protruding ribs 120.

[0056] Next, a fixing structure between the through hole 110 at the reservoir 100 side and the coolant pipe 230 at the coolant control module 200 side will be described in detail.

[0057] The integrated coolant module 10 of the present invention may have a fixing structure adapted to fix the coolant tube 230 inserted into the protruding rib 120. Return to Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , a fixing block 130 for fixing the coolant pipe 230 to the protruding rib 120 may be provided on one surface 100A of the reservoir and near the protruding rib 120, and a fixing bracket 235 formed at a position corresponding to the fixing block 130 may be provided on the coolant pipe 230. A screw groove may be formed in the fixing block 130, or an insert or the like may be inserted, and the fixing bracket 235 may be formed in a structure formed to extend from the outer peripheral surface of the coolant pipe 230, and the fixing bracket 235 and the fixing block 130 may be bolted together using a fixing member such as a bolt B in a state of close contact with each other, so that the coolant pipe 230 can be firmly fixed to the protruding rib 120.

[0058] In this case, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixing block 130 may be disposed adjacent to the protruding rib 120. Specifically, the fixing block 130 may be formed to protrude outward from one surface 100A of the reservoir, and at least a portion of the fixing block 130 may be formed to contact the outer peripheral surface of the protruding rib 120. That is, conventionally, there is a problem that by adopting a tube-tube coupling structure, the fixing structure for fixing the reservoir 100 and the valve 210 cannot be installed close to the corresponding tube due to reasons such as undercut, but as described above, in the present invention, since a space required for a mold for forming a tube is not required by having the through hole 110 and the protruding rib 120 at the reservoir 100 side, the fixing block 130 may be very close to the rib structure near the through hole 110, and specifically, at least one side of the fixing block 130 may be in close contact with the rib structure, thereby providing advantages such as ensuring spatiality, easy coupling, etc. in the integrated coolant module.

[0059] In addition, if Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the height of the fixing block 130, i.e., the height of the fixing block 130 protruding outward from one surface 100A of the liquid storage tank, can be formed to be equal to the height of the protruding rib 120, i.e., the height of the outer peripheral wall of the protruding rib 120 protruding outward from one surface 100A of the liquid storage tank, which can improve space utilization and structural stability.

[0060] Figure 7 1 is a diagram for describing a fixing structure according to another embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in the figure, the fixing block 130 can be formed to protrude inward from one surface 100A of the reservoir. This helps to simplify the structure of the outer side of one surface 100A of the reservoir, thereby further improving the space utilization of the integrated coolant module 10. Here, the fixing bracket 235 provided on the coolant pipe 230 can be formed to extend toward the fixing block 130 to be in close contact with the fixing block 130 to surround the outer peripheral surface of the protruding rib 120, which can help increase the fixing strength between the coolant pipe 230 and the protruding rib 120.

[0061] In this case, even in the present embodiment, the fixing block 130 may be disposed as close to the protruding rib 120 as possible, and specifically, at least a portion of the fixing block 130 may be positioned colinearly with the outer peripheral wall of the protruding rib 120. That is, at least a portion of the fixing block 130 may be positioned on an extension line in the height direction of the outer peripheral wall of the protruding rib 120, and the advantages of the fixing rib being disposed close to the protruding rib 120 in this manner are as described above.

[0062] Meanwhile, the integrated coolant module 10 of the present invention may also have an additional fixing structure for fixing the liquid storage tank 100 and the coolant control module 200. Specifically, return to reference Figure 5 , an additional fixing block 140 for fixing the coolant control module 200 and the reservoir tank 100 may be provided on one surface 100A of the reservoir tank, and although not shown, the coolant control module 200 may have an additional fixing bracket having one side fixed to the coolant control module 200 side and the other side coupled to the additional fixing block 140. The additional fixing block 140 may have a formed thread groove or an insert inserted like the fixing block 130, and by bolting the additional fixing bracket to the additional fixing block 140, the coolant control module 200 and the reservoir tank 100 may be more securely fixed.

[0063] Here, the additional fixing block 140 may be disposed to face the fixing block 130. That is, the additional fixing block 140 may be disposed in a direction opposite to the fixing block 130 so that the through hole 110 and the protruding rib 120 are disposed between the additional fixing block 140 and the fixing block 130. The additional fixing block 140 may preferably be spaced apart from the protruding rib 120 and disposed on one surface 100A of the reservoir tank, but is not limited thereto, and may be disposed at any other position of the reservoir tank 100 to face the fixing block 130. In this manner, since the additional fixing block 140 is positioned in a direction opposite to the fixing block 130 with respect to the through hole 110, the fixing strength between the reservoir tank 100 side and the coolant control module 200 side may be balanced.

[0064] Figure 8 1 is a diagram showing a surface 100A of a liquid storage tank according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as described above, the through hole 110 and the protruding rib 120 can each be formed in two, and accordingly, the fixing block 130 and the additional fixing block 140 can each be formed in two. In this case, when the components on the left side of the figure are referred to as the first configuration and the components on the right side thereof are referred to as the second configuration, one first fixing block 130-1 corresponding to the first through hole 110-1 or the first protruding rib 120-1 can be provided, and one second fixing block 130-2 corresponding to the second through hole 110-2 or the second protruding rib 120-2 can be provided. That is, the number of the fixing blocks 130 is formed to be equal to the number of the protruding ribs 120, and each fixing block 130 can be provided on each protruding rib 120, so that each fixing block 130 corresponds to each protruding rib 120 one-to-one.

[0065] In addition, one first fixing block 130-1 and one second fixing block 130-2 may be disposed at the same position relative to the first protruding rib 120-1 and the second protruding rib 120-2, respectively, and disposed in parallel with each other, and the first additional fixing block 140-1 and the second additional fixing block 140-2 may be disposed opposite to the first fixing block 130-1 and the second fixing block 130-2, respectively, and disposed in parallel with each other. Since the fixing block 130 and the additional fixing block 140 are disposed in this manner, the balance between the reservoir 100 side and the coolant control module 200 side can be further improved.

[0066] Meanwhile, the reservoir tank 100 of the present invention may be manufactured by injection molding and formed of a resin material, and in this case, the through hole 110 and the protruding rib 120, and furthermore the fixing block 130 and the additional fixing block 140 may be manufactured together with the case by injection molding and formed integrally. The reason for adopting a structure in which the through hole 110 is formed in the case, the protruding rib 120 is formed near the through hole 110, and the coolant pipe 230 at the coolant control module 200 side is inserted into the corresponding protruding rib 120 and connected to the through hole 110, and the corresponding effects are as described above.

[0067] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and not restrictive in all aspects.
