The oil cooler 3 is fixedly connected to the storage device 1, and the oil pump 2 is fixedly connected to the storage device 1. The oil cooler 3 has a first flow channel 31 and a second flow channel 32. The working medium in the first flow channel 31 and the working medium in the second flow channel 32 do not flow into each other. The temperature of the working medium in the second flow channel 32 is lower than that of the working medium in the first flow channel 31.

[0026] The following will specifically introduce the communication method between the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2 and the inlet 311 of the first flow channel 31 in the first embodiment of the integrated assembly.

Specifically, the storage device 1 includes a shell 12, the inner surface of the shell 12 constitutes at least a portion of the surface corresponding to the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1; the shell 12 has an oil filling hole 121, and the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1 can be filled with oil through the oil filling hole 121. Specifically, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the integrated assembly 100 further includes a second connecting pipe 93, which is provided corresponding to the oil filling hole 121. The second connecting pipe 93 is fixedly connected to the housing 12, and the pipeline of the second connecting pipe 93 is connected to the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1. The second connecting pipe 93 serves as an oil filling pipeline for the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1; Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first connecting member 4 is fixedly connected to the shell 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 125 of the shell 12, and the connection between the first connecting member 4 and the bottom wall 125 of the shell 12 is sealed. Of course, as other embodiments, the first connecting member 4 can also be an integrated structure with the storage device 1, or as other embodiments, the first connecting member 4 can also be fixedly connected to or integrated with the oil cooler 3.

[0028] See Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first connecting member 4 is at least partially located in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1, and the integrated component 100 has a first connecting channel 41, see Figure 4 For the convenience of description, Figure 2 and Figure 4 The flow path of the first connecting channel 41 is shown as a thick solid line. In this embodiment, the first connecting channel 41 is entirely formed on the first connecting member 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting channel 41 may be partially formed on the first connecting member 4 and partially formed on other components, and the first connecting channel formed on the first connecting member 4 is connected to the first connecting channel formed on other components; see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first connecting channel 41 connects the inlet 311 of the first flow channel 31 of the oil cooler 3 and the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2. The “connection” here can be direct or indirect. When it is indirect, the first connecting channel 41 can connect the inlet 311 of the first flow channel 31 and the channel connected to the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2, or the first connecting channel 41 can connect the channel connected to the inlet 311 of the first flow channel 31 and the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2, or the first connecting channel 41 can connect the channel connected to the inlet 311 of the first flow channel 31 and the channel connected to the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2; see Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As for the storage device 1, the first connecting channel 41 connects the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2 and the first orifice 1201 of the storage device 1, and the first orifice 1201 of the storage device 1 is connected to the inlet 311 of the first flow channel 31 of the oil cooler 3. In this embodiment, the first orifice 1201 of the storage device 1 is formed on the shell 12, and the first orifice 1201 of the storage device 1 serves as an outlet of the storage device 1; of course, as other embodiments, when the first connecting member 4 is fixedly connected to the oil cooler 3, the first connecting channel 41 is equivalent to a part of the first flow channel 31, and at this time, the inlet of the first connecting channel 41 is equivalent to the inlet of the first flow channel 31.

[0029] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first connecting member 4 includes a first main body portion 42 and a first protrusion portion 43. The first main body portion 42 is fixedly connected to the storage device 1. The first protrusion portion 43 is protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the first main body portion 42. A portion of the first connecting channel 41 is formed on the first protrusion portion 43, and the other portion of the first connecting channel 41 is formed on the first main body portion 42. The end surface of the first protrusion portion 43 has an opening 431, which serves as the inlet of the first connecting channel 41. Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first protrusion 43 partially extends into the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2. Of course, as other implementation methods, the first protrusion 43 can also be completely extended into the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2, and the connection between the first protrusion 43 and the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2 is sealed to prevent the working medium at the outlet of the oil pump 2 from leaking from the connection between the first protrusion 43 and the outlet of the oil pump 2; of course, as other implementation methods, at least a portion of the first protrusion 43 can also extend into the channel connected to the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2. At this time, the first protrusion 43 and the channel connected to the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2 are sealed to prevent the working medium at the outlet of the oil pump 2 from leaking from the connection between the first protrusion 43 and the channel connected to the outlet of the oil pump 2. Specifically, please refer to the second implementation method of the integrated component, which will not be described here one by one.

The oil pump 2 and the through hole 122 are sealed. This helps prevent the working medium of the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1 from leaking at the through hole 122. Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The opening 431 of the first protrusion 43 faces the through hole 122 , and the opening 431 of the first protrusion 43 is located at the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2 , so that the outlet 22 of the oil pump 2 is communicated with the first connecting channel 41 .

[0031] The following will specifically introduce the communication method between the outlet 312 of the first flow channel 31 and an outlet of the integrated component 100.

In this embodiment, the second connecting member 5 is located in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1. Of course, as other embodiments, the second connecting member 5 may also be partially located in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1. The integrated component 100 has a second connecting channel 51. In this embodiment, the second connecting channel 51 is entirely formed on the second connecting member 5. Of course, as other embodiments, the second connecting channel 51 may also be partially formed on the second connecting member 5 and partially formed on other components. In this case, the second connecting channel formed on the second connecting member 4 is connected to the second connecting channel formed on other components.

Here, the second orifice 1202 of the storage device 1 is connected to the outlet 312 of the first flow channel 31. Of course, as other embodiments, the second orifice 1202 of the storage device 1 can also serve as the outlet 312 of the first flow channel 31. Here, the third orifice 1203 of the storage device 1 is used to connect with the first connecting pipe 94.

[0033] See Figure 4 In this embodiment, the second connecting member 5 includes a second main body portion 52 and two second protrusions 53. The second protrusions 53 are provided to protrude from the lower surface of the second main body portion 52. The second protrusions 53 are connected to the storage device 1.

The second connecting channel 51 is partially formed on the second main body portion 52, and the second connecting channel 51 is partially formed on the second protrusions 53.

Specifically, the second connection member 5 is also connected to the bottom wall of the shell 12. Of course, as other embodiments, the connection surface for the second connection member 5 in the storage device 1 and the connection surface for connecting the first connection member 4 in the storage device 1 may not be the same connection surface.

[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The integrated component 100 also includes a sensor 91, which is fixedly connected to the storage device 1; the sensor 91 includes a probe 911, which extends into the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1, and the probe 911 can detect the temperature in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1, or the probe 911 can detect the viscosity of the working medium in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1, or the probe 911 can detect the liquid level of the working medium in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1; in this embodiment, the mounting surface in the storage device 1 for mounting the sensor 91 is the same mounting surface as the mounting surface on the oil cooler 3 for mounting the storage device 1.

[0048] See Figure 2 The integrated assembly 100 further includes a pressure relief member 92, which is fixedly connected to the storage device 1; Figure 2 and Figure 4The housing 12 of the storage device 1 has a mounting hole 120, which is in communication with the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1. In this embodiment, the pressure relief member 92 is partially located in the mounting hole 120. Of course, as other embodiments, the pressure relief member 92 may also be entirely located in the mounting hole 120; see Figure 2 In addition to oil, the medium in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1 may also contain gas. When the gas pressure in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1 reaches a preset pressure, the pressure relief hole in the pressure relief component 92 will open, and the gas in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1 will be discharged from the pressure relief hole in the pressure relief component 92. This is conducive to reducing the gas pressure in the first inner cavity 10 of the storage device 1, which is conducive to preventing the storage device 1 from being damaged by excessive gas pressure, thereby affecting the use of the integrated component 100.

[0049] As another embodiment, the integrated component 100 may also include a filter, which is arranged upstream of the inlet 21 of the oil pump 2, so that impurities in the oil entering the oil pump can be filtered to prevent the impurities in the oil from damaging the internal structure of the oil pump, thereby affecting the use of the oil pump; the filter here can be an independent part fixed to the storage device, or it can be directly integrated on the oil pump.

[0050] See Figure 16 The present application also discloses a cooling system, which includes a cable device 102 and an integrated component 100 for charging a battery in a new energy vehicle. An inlet of the integrated component 100 is connected to an outlet of the cable device 102, and an outlet of the integrated component 100 is connected to an inlet of the cable device 102. The cable device 102 here can be a cable device electrically connected to the battery inside the new energy vehicle, or a cable device used to electrically connect to the inside of the new energy vehicle in a charging pile; see Figure 16 The integrated component 100 includes a storage device 1, an oil pump 2 and an oil cooler 3. The integrated component is the integrated component described above. For the structure of the integrated component 100, please refer to the previous introduction and will not be described here in detail; the cooling system also includes a first filter 103, which is arranged upstream of the inlet of the oil pump 2, so that impurities in the oil entering the oil pump can be filtered. Here, the first filter 103 can be arranged separately in the cooling system or integrated with the integrated component 100; the cooling system also includes a second filter 104, which is arranged downstream of the outlet of the integrated component 100, so that the working medium flowing out of the outlet of the integrated component 100 can be filtered to prevent impurities in the working medium flowing out of the outlet of the integrated component 100 from damaging the system structure, thereby affecting the use of the system. Here, the second filter 104 can be arranged separately in the cooling system or integrated with the integrated component 100.
