[0041] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8The flow channel integrated device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described. The flow channel integrated device 100 can be applied to a vehicle (not shown). In the following description of the present application, the flow channel integrated device 100 is applied to a vehicle as an example.

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the flow channel integrated device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a flow channel integrated block 1, a plurality of first channel grooves 112, at least one second channel groove 113, a plurality of valves 2, a heat exchanger 3 and a secondary water tank 4. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

[0043] Specifically, the flow channel integrated block 1 includes a flow channel body 11, a first connecting plate 12 and a second connecting plate 13, the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the flow channel body 11, the first connecting plate 12 is sealed and connected to the flow channel body 11, the second connecting plate 13 is sealed and connected to the flow channel body 11, and a plurality of first channels 111 are arranged on the flow channel body 11. A plurality of first channel grooves 112 are arranged on the side of the flow channel body 11 facing the first connecting plate 12, or on the side of the first connecting plate 12 facing the flow channel body 11, and the flow channel body 11 and the first connecting plate 12 jointly define a second channel. At least one second channel groove 113 is arranged on the side of the flow channel body 11 facing the second connecting plate 13, or on the side of the second connecting plate 13 facing the flow channel body 11, and the flow channel body 11 and the second connecting plate 13 jointly define a third channel.

[0044] For example, in Figure 1-Figure 7 In the example, the flow channel integrated block 1 can be a block structure formed in one piece, or a block structure formed by other molding processes, which is not limited here. It can be a square block, or other shapes, which are not limited here. The first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 are respectively located in the height direction of the flow channel body 11 (for example, Figure 2 On both sides of the flow channel body 11 (in the up and down direction), the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 can be sealed and connected to the flow channel body 11 by welding to close the first channel groove 112 and the second channel groove 113, so as to prevent the coolant in the flow channel integrated block 1 from leaking from the gap between the first connecting plate 12 or the second connecting plate 13 and the flow channel body 11. When the flow channel integrated device 100 is applied to a vehicle, the coolant can flow through the channel formed by the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel to achieve heat exchange. Thus, a plurality of channels can be formed by a plurality of first channels 111, the second channel and the third channel, so that while increasing the number of channels, the size of the flow channel integrated block 1 can be reduced, which is convenient for miniaturizing the flow channel integrated block 1.

[0045] A plurality of valves 2 are provided on the flow channel integrated block 1, and are used to connect the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two valves 2, and the two valves 2 are respectively arranged along the length direction of the flow channel integrated block 1 (for example, Figure 2 The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of each valve 2 can be connected to the corresponding first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel on the flow channel integrated block 1, so that multiple channels are formed on the flow channel integrated block 1. When the flow channel integrated device 100 is applied to a vehicle, the coolant in the cooling system of the vehicle can flow through at least one of the multiple channels and perform heat exchange to achieve heat dissipation or heating of corresponding components of the vehicle.

[0046] It should be noted that the valve 2 can be of different types, such as a four-way valve or a five-way valve, according to different vehicle models and desired functions, so that the flow channel integrated device 100 can be applied to vehicles of different models and meet different functional requirements, thereby improving the versatility of the flow channel integrated device 100.

[0047] Figure 1 Two valves 2 are shown for illustrative purposes, but after reading the technical solution of the present application, a person of ordinary skill can obviously understand that the solution can be applied to a technical solution with three or more valves 2, which also falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] The heat exchanger 3 is arranged on the flow channel integrated block 1, and is used to connect the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel. The heat exchanger 3 can be opposite to the battery pack on the vehicle. When the temperature of the battery pack is high, the battery pack can transfer heat to the heat exchanger 3. At this time, the coolant can flow to the heat exchanger 3 through the flow channel (i.e. the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel mentioned above) and perform heat exchange to reduce the temperature of the heat exchanger 3, thereby reducing the temperature of the battery pack. When the temperature of the battery pack is low, the coolant can flow to the heat exchanger 3 through the flow channel and perform heat exchange to increase the temperature of the heat exchanger 3. Then the heat exchanger 3 transfers the heat to the battery pack to increase the temperature of the battery pack.

[0049] According to the flow channel integrated device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of valves 2 and heat exchangers 3 are integrated on the flow channel integrated block 1, and are respectively connected with the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel of the flow channel integrated block 1. Therefore, compared with the traditional cooling system, the size of the flow channel integrated block 1 can be reduced, which is convenient for miniaturizing the flow channel integrated block 1. While ensuring the heat exchange effect of the flow channel integrated device 100, the space occupied by the cooling system in the vehicle can be reduced, so that the various components in the cooling system can be arranged in a regular manner in the vehicle, thereby improving the space utilization of the vehicle. At the same time, due to the high integration of the flow channel integrated device 100, the flow channel integrated device 100 can be applied to vehicles of different models, which improves the versatility of the flow channel integrated device 100, thereby reducing the cost of the vehicle.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the auxiliary water tank 4 is arranged on the flow channel integrated block 1, and is used to connect the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel. Among them, the auxiliary water tank 4 is used to store coolant. When the flow channel integrated device 100 lacks coolant, the auxiliary water tank 4 can replenish the coolant to the flow channel integrated device 100 in time through the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel; when there is more coolant in the flow channel integrated device 100, the excess coolant can flow into the auxiliary water tank 4 for storage. In this way, the integration and versatility of the flow channel integrated device 100 can be further improved. It should be noted that the volume model of the auxiliary water tank 4 is not limited in this application, that is, the auxiliary water tank 4 can be an auxiliary water tank 4 of any volume model.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , multiple valves 2 and heat exchangers 3 are located on the same side of the height direction of the flow channel integrated block 1, and the auxiliary water tank 4 is located on the other side of the height direction of the flow channel integrated block 1. Since the size of the auxiliary water tank 4 is larger than the size of the valve 2 and the size of the heat exchanger 3, by setting the small-sized valves 2 and heat exchangers 3 on the same side of the height direction of the flow channel integrated block 1, and setting the large-sized auxiliary water tank 4 on the other side of the flow channel integrated block 1, it is convenient to install the valves 2, heat exchangers 3 and auxiliary water tanks 4, avoid interference during installation, and thus improve the assembly efficiency of the flow channel integrated device 100.

[0052] Furthermore, the plurality of valves 2 are respectively located in the length direction of the flow channel integrated block 1 (for example, Figure 2 The heat exchanger 3 and the plurality of valves 2 are arranged along the width direction of the flow channel manifold 1 (for example, Figure 2 The interval setting in the front-to-back direction. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the two valves 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the length direction of the flow channel integrated block 1, the heat exchanger 3 and one of the two valves 2 are located at the same end of the length direction of the flow channel integrated block 1, and the heat exchanger 3 and one of the two valves 2 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the width direction of the flow channel integrated block 1. Thus, multiple valves 2 and heat exchangers 3 can be regularly arranged on the flow channel integrated device 100, and the structure of the flow channel integrated device 100 is compact, so as to design the flow channel integrated device 100 in a miniaturized manner.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the flow channel integrated device 100 further includes a plurality of liquid pumps 5, which are arranged on the flow channel integrated block 1, and the liquid pumps 5 are connected to the first channel 111. Figure 1-Figure 3 In the example, there are two liquid pumps 5, and the two liquid pumps 5 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the flow channel integrated block 1. The liquid pumps 5 can provide power for the flow of the coolant in the flow channel integrated block 1, so that the coolant can flow smoothly in the first channel 111, the second channel and the third channel. By integrating multiple liquid pumps 5 on the flow channel integrated block 1, the integration of the flow channel integrated device 100 can be further improved, and the setting of connectors and mounting brackets in the cooling system can be saved, thereby reducing the cost and weight of the whole vehicle.

[0054] It should be noted that the structure of the flow channel integrated device 100 can replace the cooling components on the flow channel integrated block 1 and adjust the flow channel direction inside the flow channel integrated block 1 according to different requirements of the cooling system and different system principles, so as to improve the versatility of the flow channel integrated device 100.

[0055] Further, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , multiple valves 2, multiple liquid pumps 5 and heat exchangers 3 are all arranged on the same side of the flow channel integrated block 1 in the height direction, and the auxiliary water tank 4 is located on the other side of the flow channel integrated block 1 in the height direction. In this way, the small-sized valves 2, heat exchangers 3 and liquid pumps 5 are arranged on the same side of the flow channel integrated block 1, and the large-sized auxiliary water tank 4 is arranged on the other side of the flow channel integrated block 1, which can further improve the regularity of the flow channel integrated device 100 and avoid interference during installation, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the flow channel integrated device 100.

[0056] Furthermore, the plurality of liquid pumps 5 are located in the middle of the flow channel integrated block 1 and are spaced apart along the width direction of the flow channel integrated block 1, and the plurality of valves 2 are respectively located on both sides of the plurality of liquid pumps 5 along the length direction of the flow channel integrated block 1. Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, the two liquid pumps 5 are located between the two valves 2, and the two liquid pumps 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the width direction of the flow channel integrated block 1, and the heat exchanger 3 and one of the two valves 2 are located on one side of the two liquid pumps 5. Thus, the space between the two valves 2 is effectively utilized, so that the structure of the flow channel integrated device 100 is more compact.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3-Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the flow channel body 11 is provided with a first channel groove 112 on one side facing the first connecting plate 12, and the first connecting plate 12 covers the first channel groove 112 to form a second channel. The flow channel body 11 is provided with a second channel groove 113 on one side facing the second connecting plate 13, and the second connecting plate 13 covers the second channel groove 113 to form a third channel. Thus, when the groove is processed, the first channel groove 112 can be processed from the lower surface of the flow channel body 11, and the second channel groove 113 can be processed from the upper surface of the flow channel body 11, which facilitates the processing of the first channel groove 112 and the second channel groove 113, thereby improving the production efficiency of the flow channel integrated block 1. Optionally, the first connecting plate 12 can be welded to the lower surface of the body to close the first channel groove 112 and form a second channel, so that the coolant flows along the second channel, and the coolant can be prevented from leaking from the lower surface of the flow channel body 11. The second connecting plate 13 can be welded to the upper surface of the flow channel body 11 to close the second channel groove 113 and form a third channel, so that the coolant flows along the third channel and prevents the coolant from leaking from the upper surface of the flow channel body 11 .

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, part of the first channel 111 is connected to the bottom wall of the first channel groove 112. Figure 7 and Figure 8In the example, the first channel 111 may include a first type first channel and a second type first channel, one end of each of at least two first type first channels is in communication with the bottom wall of a first channel groove 112, and one end of each of the second type first channels is in communication with the bottom wall of a first channel groove 112. For example, the first channel groove 112 may include a first sub-channel groove and a second sub-channel groove, one end of each of at least two first type first channels is in communication with the bottom wall of the corresponding first sub-channel groove, specifically, one end of each first type first channel is in communication with the corresponding first sub-channel groove, and the other end of each first type first channel is in communication with a side of the flow channel body 11 away from the second connecting plate 13, and other components such as the valve 2, the liquid pump 5 or the heat exchanger 3 may be in communication through the above-mentioned one end of the first type first channel 1111. One end of each second-type first channel is connected to one end of the bottom wall of the second sub-channel groove, and the other end of each second-type first channel is connected to the side of the flow channel body 11 away from the second connecting plate 13, and other components such as valve 2, liquid pump 5 or heat exchanger 3 can be connected through the above-mentioned one end of the second-type first channel, and the other end of the bottom wall of the second sub-channel groove is connected to other components such as heat exchanger 3 through the fourth-type first channel of the first channel. In this way, different types of channels can be formed to increase the diversity of the flow paths of the coolant on the flow channel integrated block 11, so that different modes of heat dissipation or heating can be achieved on the vehicle, and different components can be cooled or heated.

[0059] Furthermore, the flow channel integrated device 100 further includes a first interface pipe 114, which is disposed in the flow channel integrated block 1. Part of the first channel 111 is connected to one end of the first interface pipe 114, and the other end of the first interface pipe 114 is suitable for connecting to an external component. Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the first channel 111 may also include a third type of first channel, the third type of first channel is connected to one end of the first interface pipe 114, and the other end of the first interface pipe 114 is suitable for connecting to an external component. Specifically, there may be three first interface pipes 114, which are arranged at intervals on one side surface of the flow channel body 11 in the length direction, and the free end of each first interface pipe 114 extends in a direction away from the flow channel body 11. Other components of the vehicle, such as a motor, a radiator, etc., may be connected to the third type of first channel of the flow channel body 11 through the first interface pipe 114 to achieve heat dissipation of the above-mentioned other components, such as a motor, a radiator, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the area of ​​the first connecting plate 12 is larger than the area of ​​the second connecting plate 13. Since the number of the first channel grooves 112 is large and dispersed on the side surface of the flow channel body 11 adjacent to the first connecting plate 12, the number of the second channel grooves 113 is small. Therefore, by designing the first connecting plate 12 as a large-area first connecting plate 12, it can be effectively ensured that the first connecting plate 12 can close all the first channel grooves 112 on the flow channel body 11 to prevent leakage of the coolant.

[0061] According to other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the first channel grooves 112 is greater than the number of the second channel grooves 113. In this way, the second channel grooves 113, the plurality of valves 2, the heat exchanger 3 or the auxiliary water tank 4 can be connected to the corresponding first channel grooves 112 through the corresponding first channels 111, and when the flow channel integrated device 100 is applied to a vehicle, different modes of heat dissipation can be achieved to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, the first channel groove 112 or the second channel groove 113 includes at least one bent channel groove, and the first channel groove 112 includes at least one straight channel groove. With such a configuration, when the flow channel integrated device 100 is working, the coolant can select different channels for circulation according to actual conditions. For example, when the temperature of the coolant is high, the coolant can flow through the bent channel groove to increase the flow path of the coolant, thereby increasing the heat exchange time of the coolant and achieving heat dissipation of the flow channel integrated device 100; when the temperature of the coolant is slightly high, the coolant can flow through the straight channel groove with a shorter path to dissipate heat. As a result, the flow channel integrated device 100 can select different modes of heat dissipation according to actual conditions, thereby improving the applicability of the flow channel integrated device 100.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting plate 12 covers the entire one side surface of the flow channel body 11. For example, the flow channel body 11 and the first connecting plate 12 are roughly L-shaped. When installed, the first connecting plate 12 is integrally welded to the side of the flow channel body 11 away from the second connecting plate 13. Thus, all the first channel grooves 112 on the flow channel body 11 can be effectively covered, ensuring the sealing between the first connecting plate 12 and the body, and preventing the coolant from flowing out of the gap between the first connecting plate 12 and the flow channel body 11.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, the first connecting plate 12 is an integrally formed plate. In this way, the structure of the first connecting plate 12 is simple and easy to process.

[0065] In some other optional embodiments, the first connecting plate 12 includes a plurality of sub-connecting plates, each of which covers one end of at least one first channel 111 or a first channel groove 112 (not shown). Thus, while ensuring that the first connecting plate 12 can cover all the first channel grooves 112 or one end of all the first channels 111, the material usage of the first connecting plate 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the first connecting plate 12.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of second interface pipes 131 are disposed on the second connection plate 13, and each second interface pipe 131 is connected to the first channel 111. Figure 1-Figure 7 In the example, there are three second interface pipes 131, which are arranged at a distance from each other on the side of the second connecting plate 13 away from the flow channel integrated block 1, and the three second interface pipes 131 are all connected to the corresponding first channels 111 to ensure that the coolant of the vehicle's cooling system can enter and exit the flow channel integrated block 1 through the second interface pipes 131 to achieve the cooling function.

[0067] Further, part of the second interface pipe 131 is connected to the first channel 111 through the second channel groove 113. As shown in FIG7, one of the three second interface pipes 131 adjacent to the liquid pump 5 is connected to one end of the second channel groove 113, and both ends of the second channel groove 113 in the length direction can be respectively connected to the corresponding first channel 111. When the coolant flows to the flow channel integrated block 1 through the above-mentioned second interface pipe 131, the flow path of the coolant can be increased so that the coolant can perform sufficient heat exchange on the flow channel integrated block 1.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, each valve 2 includes a first valve port 21 and a second valve port 22. Each valve 2 is disposed on one side of the flow channel integrated block 1, and the first valve port 21 or the second valve port 22 is connected to the first channel 111. Figure 3 Combined with Figure 6 , the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 can both be formed on one side of the valve 2 adjacent to the flow channel integrated block 1, and the first valve port 21 and the second valve port 22 are spaced apart along the height direction of the flow channel integrated block 1. There can be two first valve ports 21, and the two first valve ports 21 can both be the water inlet of the valve 2, and the second valve port 22 can be the water outlet of the valve 2, and the second valve port 22 is located above the first valve port 21. In other words, the distance between the first valve port 21 and the flow channel body 11 is smaller than the distance between the second valve port 22 and the flow channel body 11. During installation, the two first valve ports 21 can extend into the corresponding first channels 111, so that the plane where the second valve port 22 is located fits the upper surface of the flow channel body 11 and is opposite to the corresponding first channel 111. In this way, leakage of coolant due to the height difference of the end faces can be prevented.

[0069] Specifically, the coolant in the cooling system can flow to the first channel 111 connected to it through one of the two first valve ports 21, and then flow through the first channel groove 112 and out of the first channel 111 at the other end of the first channel groove 112, so that the coolant forms a circulation on the flow channel integrated block 1, ensuring that the flow channel integrated device 100 has a higher heat exchange effect.

[0070] According to other embodiments of the present invention, each valve 2 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the flow channel integrated block 1, and the first valve port 21 or the second valve port 22 is connected to the first channel 111. This arrangement can further reduce the height of the flow channel integrated device 100, so as to miniaturize the flow channel integrated device 100.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, multiple valves 2, heat exchangers 3, auxiliary water tanks 4, and liquid pumps 5 can be sealed and connected to the flow channel body 11 through a seal 6 to prevent coolant leakage due to end surface height differences at the connections between the multiple valves 2, heat exchangers 3, auxiliary water tanks 4, and liquid pumps 5 and the flow channel body 11. Multiple valves 2, heat exchangers 3, auxiliary water tanks 4, and liquid pumps 5 can be connected to the flow channel body 11 through threaded fasteners 7, such as screws.

[0072] The vehicle according to the second aspect of the present invention comprises the flow channel integration device 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention.

[0073] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned flow channel integration device 100, it is possible to reduce cost and weight, save space in the entire vehicle, thereby reducing energy consumption of the entire vehicle and improving the endurance of the vehicle.
