Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a compressor housing for accommodating compressor components, an integrated system for forming an integrated heat pump, in particular an integrated heat pump for an electric vehicle, a vehicle, and a method for manufacturing a compressor housing. Background Art

[0002] Thermal management modules are known in the prior art. Such thermal management modules include a heat pump having a refrigerant circuit and a coolant circuit. The heat pump also includes a compressor unit. In addition, depending on the application, further components can be provided in such a thermal management module. The individual components of such a module are usually assembled separately and arranged at the intended place of use. Such a place of use can be, for example, an axle unit of a vehicle.

[0003] Due to the individual assembly of the individual components of the module, many fastening points must be arranged at the place of use. In addition, considerable structural space is required to accommodate the individual modules, ensure sufficient accessibility (for example for maintenance of the components) and, if necessary, replace them. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a device which, as part of a thermal management module, can reduce the installation space required and can simplify assembly.

[0005] The invention is solved by a compressor housing having the features of claim 1 , an integrated system having the features of claim 4 , an integrated heat pump having the features of claim 9 , a vehicle having the features of claim 10 and a method for producing a compressor housing having the features of claim 11 .

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a compressor housing is provided, which is used to accommodate a compressor component in an internal space formed by the compressor housing, wherein the compressor housing has an inner side facing the internal space and an outer side facing the surrounding environment of the compressor housing, wherein the compressor housing has a channel guide element on the outer side, wherein the channel guide element is integrally formed with the compressor housing, wherein the channel guide element is designed to serve as a channel guide part of a fluid control unit.

[0007] Compared with the known prior art, a highly integrated thermal management module with a compressor unit as a central interface can be provided. Here, the load-bearing element can be a compressor housing. In other words, the components of the thermal management module can all be placed on the compressor housing. The compressor housing can be part of the compressor of a heat pump. The fluid control unit can be arranged on the compressor housing as an additional component, for example. The fluid control unit can be a distribution module with an integrated water pump, for example. In addition, a heat pump with a refrigerant / coolant can be arranged on the compressor housing. The fluid control unit can also be referred to as a coolant distribution module. The fluid control unit can be arranged directly on the compressor housing. In addition, a heat exchanger (evaporator and / or condenser), an expansion vessel (dryer) and a suspension device with a damping element for docking in a vehicle can also be docked on the compressor housing. The compressor housing can include a coolant line so that a coolant connection can be made between the heat exchanger and the coolant distribution module without additional lines. As a result, a high degree of integration can be achieved in the thermal management module, which leads to a low structural space and low weight. Costs can be saved thereby, because these components can be used together. Compared with the thermal management module of the prior art, the line connected to the channel guide element can be shortened by the channel guide element in the compressor housing, so that the required refrigerant or coolant only needs to be arranged in a lower amount. In addition, the individual elements can be arranged via a common fastening point. The fastening at the place of use can be simplified. The compressor housing can be a casting. These compressor components can be arranged in the compressor housing or can be arranged therein, thereby forming a compressor. The compressor can, for example, have a drive unit for driving the compressor. In addition, the compressor can have a compressor (for example, a piston or a screw) for compressing a fluid. The fluid can be gaseous and / or liquid. In addition, the compressor can have a pressure container for storing fluid. The compressor housing can be designed as a one-piece or multi-piece. In the assembled state, the compressor housing can define an internal space. The components of the compressor can be arranged therein. The inner side of the compressor housing is the surface that defines the internal space. The outer side of the compressor can be the side of the compressor housing facing the surrounding environment. The channel guide element can be constructed on the outer side of the compressor housing. The channel guide element can, for example, be formed by a protrusion protruding from the compressor housing. The channel guide element can have a plurality of channels, which are designed to guide the fluid in cooperation with the fluid control unit. In particular, the channel guide element can have a channel formed on the compressor housing. In the case where the fluid control unit is not arranged on the compressor housing, the channel guide element can partially have a channel. The channel guide element can have a surrounding protrusion that defines the contour of the channel guide element. The protrusion that forms the channel guide element can also be called a ridge. The channel guide element can have a plurality of such protrusions that form different channels.The channel guide element can be designed to guide the fluid. In addition, the channel guide element can be designed to guide a plurality of different fluid flows so that these fluid flows do not mix. In other words, a plurality of lines or channels can be formed by the channel guide element. Since the channel guide element can be arranged on the outside of the compressor housing, the compressor housing can be designed to guide the fluid in the channel guide element. The channel guide element is formed integrally (i.e., integrally) with the compressor housing. Integration can mean that the channel guide element cannot be separated from the compressor housing in a non-destructive manner. For example, in the case where the compressor housing is a casting, the channel guide element can be directly formed together in the casting process of the compressor housing. It can be ensured that the channel guide element is connected to the compressor housing in a fluid-tight manner. The fluid control unit can be a unit designed to guide and / or distribute the fluid along a specific direction and / or line. To this end, the fluid control unit can have a plurality of pumps, ports and / or valves. Preferably, the fluid control unit does not have its own channel, but cooperates with the channel guide element of the compressor housing in the assembled state. In other words, the fluid control unit can only have a pump and a valve. The fluid control unit can have hydraulic ports, pumps, valves with actuators and / or connecting lines. The fluid control unit can be used as a cover, which covers the channel guide element and thus the channel of the channel guide and thus completes it when the fluid control unit is arranged on the compressor housing. As a result, the fluid control unit can be fastened together with the compressor housing. Therefore, the fluid control unit does not need to be fastened separately. As a result, a simplified system can be provided overall.

[0008] Preferably, the compressor housing has a receptacle in order to fix the fluid control unit on the compressor housing so that the fluid control unit cooperates with the channel guide element. The receptacle can be, for example, a fastening element, with which the fluid control unit can be fixed on the compressor housing. For this purpose, for example, a screw connection is provided. It is also conceivable that a clamping connection can also be provided. Alternatively or additionally, the fluid control unit can also be fixed to the compressor housing by means of a groove fastening. The receptacle can be arranged on the compressor housing adjacent to the channel guide element. It can therefore be ensured that the receptacle is arranged on the compressor housing in such a way that the fluid control unit can directly cooperate with the channel guide element.

[0009] Preferably, the compressor housing has a line section, which is connected to the channel guide element and is designed to transfer fluid. Compared with the channel guide element (even when the fluid control unit is not arranged on the compressor housing), the line section can have a closed cross section for transferring fluid. In other words, the line section can have an open input end and an open output end, and a closed cross section between them. In contrast, the channel guide element only forms a closed cross section in cooperation with the fluid control unit. In other words, the channel guide element without the fluid control unit can have an open flow cross section. The line section of the compressor housing can be used, for example, to guide the fluid from the channel guide element to other devices. For example, it is conceivable that other elements can be connected to the compressor housing, and these other elements can be placed in fluid communication with the channel guide element. In this case, the line section can establish communication between the channel guide element and other elements placed on the compressor housing. Therefore, additional, for example, external piping can be eliminated, which improves the ease of installation. Preferably, the line section is integrally formed with the compressor housing. In other words, the line section can be formed in the manufacture of the compressor housing. Therefore, there is no need to connect the line sections separately to the compressor housing.

[0010] Preferably, the line section extends between two, especially opposite sides of the compressor housing. The line section can extend along the outer periphery of the compressor housing. Thus, the structural space in the inner space of the compressor housing is not consumed. Alternatively, the line section can also extend through the inner space of the compressor housing and / or extend on the inner periphery of the compressor housing. The line section can be designed as a water spray pipe, for example. Thus, a particularly short path that the fluid must take can be achieved. Thus, the loss in the line section can be reduced. By setting the line section, the two opposite sides of the compressor housing can be fluidically connected, which provides the advantage that elements (such as a fluid control unit and a heat exchanger) can be arranged on each side of the compressor housing. Therefore, the compressor can be arranged between the two elements. Since the compressor housing acts as a central fastening point, the load acting on the fastening point can be reduced. Therefore, the durability of this integrated system can be improved.

[0011] Preferably, the compressor housing has at least one interface for arranging an evaporator and / or a condenser on the outside. The interface can be designed so that it is in fluid contact with the channel guide element. In other words, the fluid can be transferred from the channel guide element to the interface and thus to the evaporator and / or condenser arranged on the interface. For example, the condenser can be part of a heat exchanger. The interface can have at least one fastening element and at least one coupling element. The fastening element can be designed to fix the evaporator and / or the condenser to the compressor housing. The fastening element can have a screw connection and / or a shape-locking connection. The coupling element can be designed to fluidically couple the evaporator and / or the condenser fluid to the channel guide element.

[0012] Preferably, the line section can be designed to establish a connection between the channel guide element and the at least one interface. This makes it possible to place the evaporator and / or the condenser at different locations on the compressor housing and still have fluid communication with the channel guide element via the line section. This can increase the degree of design. In other words, such an integrated system can be easily adapted even in locations with limited installation space.

[0013] Preferably, the compressor housing has a receiving section, which is designed to receive a control unit of the compressor and a control unit of the fluid control unit. The receiving section can be, for example, a partial housing of the compressor housing, which can accommodate at least one control unit. Here, the receiving section can be designed to allow two control units to be accommodated therein. In the prior art, a receiving section on the compressor housing is known, in which a control unit of the compressor is arranged. It is advantageous that the control unit of the fluid control unit is currently integrated into the compressor housing so that the control unit of the fluid control unit is accommodated in the receiving section of the compressor housing. As a result, the length of the connecting cable between the control unit and the fluid control unit can be shortened. In addition, the degree of integration can be improved. The fluid control unit can assume the structural control of the fluid, while the control unit of the fluid control unit can assume the electronic control of the fluid control unit (e.g., receiving signals, processing signals, outputting control instructions, etc.).

[0014] Preferably, the accommodation section is designed so that it is accessible from the outside. In other words, the accommodation section is arranged on the compressor housing in such a way that it is accessible from the outside of the compressor housing. Preferably, the accommodation section is designed integrally with the compressor housing. For example, the accommodation section is covered with a cover which can be reversibly moved back and forth between a closed and an open position. This ensures that the control unit is accessible from the outside.

[0015] Preferably, the compressor housing has a connecting section, with which the compressor housing can be fastened to the vehicle body. The connecting section can be realized, for example, by a thread on the compressor housing. The compressor housing can thus be fastened to the vehicle body particularly easily. Preferably, the connecting section has a damping element that provides vibration damping. This is particularly advantageous when the compressor housing is mounted on an axle unit of a vehicle. The compressor housing can thus serve as a common fastening point for a plurality of elements, such as a heat exchanger. As a result, such an integrated system only needs to be fastened at one location. The damping element can, for example, be an elastomeric element or a rubber element, which is arranged between the fastening portion to which the compressor housing is fastened and the compressor housing.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, an integrated system for forming an integrated heat pump is provided. The integrated system is particularly suitable for electric vehicles. The integrated system includes a compressor housing according to one of the above-mentioned design solutions and a fluid control unit that cooperates with a channel guide element. In this regard, the synergy can mean that the fluid is guided not only by the channel guide element but also by the fluid control unit. The fluid control unit can be arranged on the compressor housing as follows, that is, the fluid control unit forms a flow channel for the fluid together with the channel guide element. The fluid can be in liquid and / or gaseous form here. The fluid can be, for example, a refrigerant and / or a coolant.

[0017] Preferably, the fluid control unit comprises a pump, at least one valve and / or at least two ports. In addition, the fluid control unit may also comprise a compensation container. Thus, a number of individual elements may be arranged as an integrated unit. The port may be a hydraulic port. The valve and / or pump housing may be integrated in the compressor housing. In other words, the channel guide element may form a part of the valve housing and / or pump housing. An active control element may be arranged in the fluid control unit. Thus, when the fluid control unit is arranged on a channel guide plate of the compressor housing, a valve and / or pump of the fluid control unit may be formed. Since a part of the fluid control unit is integrally formed with the compressor housing, manufacturing may be simplified overall. Preferably, the fluid control unit may be equipped with a pump and a valve, but without a channel. Thus, the fluid control unit may be designed to be channelless. The channels are all integrated in the compressor housing (that is, integrated in the channel guide element). Preferably, the fluid control unit can be reversibly arranged on the compressor housing. In other words, the fluid control unit may be arbitrarily placed on the compressor housing and may be removed therefrom. Thus, maintenance may be simplified (e.g., cleaning the channel, replacing a part of the fluid control unit, etc.).

[0018] Preferably, the integrated system further comprises an intermediate plate, which is arranged between the fluid control unit and the channel guiding element or is arranged between them. By means of the intermediate plate, different fluid paths can be generated in cooperation between the channel guiding element and the fluid control unit. Thus, for example, multiple planes of the channel can be defined. Thus, more complex fluid circuits can be realized. Preferably, the intermediate plate has a seal. Thus, the contact between the fluid control unit and the channel guiding element can be realized in a fluid-tight manner.

[0019] Preferably, the integrated system comprises a sealing element, which is arranged or can be arranged between the fluid control unit and the channel guide element, in particular, is arranged or can be arranged on the intermediate plate. By means of the sealing element, leakage of the fluid between the channel guide element and the fluid control unit can be avoided more reliably. In addition, by virtue of the elasticity of the sealing element, a preload can be applied to the fastening element that fastens the fluid control unit to the compressor housing. This ensures that a secure fastening is achieved even when vibrations are introduced into the system.

[0020] Preferably, the fluid control unit has a further channel guide element, which is designed to be operatively connected to the channel guide element of the compressor housing. In other words, the fluid control unit can also have a structure that forms a channel for guiding the fluid in combination with the channel guide element of the compressor housing and / or in combination with the intermediate plate. In this way, a further fluid circuit can be formed. It can thus be ensured that even complex fluid paths can be realized by the integrated system.

[0021] Preferably, the integrated system further comprises at least one evaporator and / or at least one condenser. In other words, the heat exchanger can be part of the integrated system. The heat exchanger can include an evaporator and / or a condenser. The condenser and / or the evaporator can be in fluid communication with the channel guiding element by means of a line section. Further integration can thereby be provided.

[0022] Preferably, the evaporator and / or the condenser are arranged on the compressor housing in such a way that they can be placed in an operative connection with the channel element. An operative connection can mean that a fluid can be exchanged between the evaporator and / or the condenser. Thus, no additional connecting elements such as lines are required to place the evaporator and / or the condenser in connection with the channel guide element.

[0023] Preferably, the fluid control unit is arranged between the evaporator and the condenser. For example, in a top view of the integrated system, the fluid control unit can be arranged between the evaporator and the condenser. This provides an advantageous fluid circuit, thereby achieving a minimum circuit path. In addition, this provides the advantage of achieving an optimal weight distribution.

[0024] Preferably, the fluid control unit is arranged above or below the compressor in the operating position of the integrated system in the direction of gravity. Thus, gravity can be used to move the fluid at least in the flow direction. Thus, a favorable operating state with low energy consumption can be achieved. The operating position can be the position when the integrated system is used. The direction of gravity can also be called the vertical direction and extends parallel to the direction of attraction.

[0025] Preferably, the integrated system further comprises a carrier, which is arranged between the evaporator and the condenser and the compressor housing and is designed to fix the integrated system to the vehicle body. The carrier can be a component that enables the compressor housing (and thus the entire integrated system) to be fixed to the vehicle body or other equipment. Preferably, the carrier is the only component to which the integrated system can be fixed. Thus, a single fastening point can be provided, which significantly simplifies the assembly of the integrated system.

[0026] According to a further aspect of the invention, an integrated heat pump for an electric vehicle is provided. The heat pump comprises an integrated system according to one of the aforementioned embodiments. Furthermore, the heat pump comprises a compressor accommodated in a compressor housing. Thus, an integrated module comprising at least two functions, namely a compressor and a fluid control, can be provided. In the case of coupling a condenser and / or an evaporator together, even a three-in-one module can be provided.

[0027] According to a further aspect of the present invention, a vehicle, in particular an electric vehicle, is provided, which has at least one integrated heat pump according to the above-described embodiment.

[0028] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a compressor housing is provided. The method comprises casting a compressor housing, wherein the compressor housing comprises a channel guide element, and the channel guide element is designed to serve as a channel guide portion of a fluid control unit. The channel guide element can be designed to serve as at least a part of a channel guide portion for a fluid control unit. Casting can be a manufacturing method for metals and alloys, in which a workpiece is made of liquid metal (i.e., a melt). For example, the melt can be poured into a hollow mold and then solidified therein. Therefore, the channel guide element can be integrally formed on the compressor housing. Preferably, a compressor housing according to one of the aforementioned embodiments is manufactured using this manufacturing method.

[0029] Individual features or embodiments can be combined with other features or other embodiments to form new embodiments. The advantages and embodiments mentioned in conjunction with the features or embodiments apply analogously to the new embodiments. The advantages and improvements mentioned in conjunction with the device also apply analogously to the method, and vice versa. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] Figure 1 1 is a schematic view of a compressor 100 known from the prior art. The compressor 100 has a compressor housing 101, which defines an interior space in its interior, in which compressor components such as an electric drive are arranged. The compressor housing 101 is a casting. In addition, the compressor housing has a receiving section 102, in which the control part of the compressor 100 is received. The receiving section 102 can be closed with a cover.

[0039] Figure 2 2 is a schematic perspective view of a channel guide element 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The channel guide element 2 is integrally constructed in the compressor housing 1 ( Figure 2 The channel guide element 2 has a plurality of protrusions protruding from the compressor housing 1 in a wall-like manner. The protrusions form a channel that is at least partially open. By arranging a fluid control unit ( Figure 2 ), so that these channels are closed and thus form a closed flow cross section for the fluid. In the present embodiment, the channel guide element 2 is integrally formed with the compressor housing 1. Therefore, in addition to its original function as a housing, the compressor housing is also assigned another function, namely, as a channel guide for the fluid.

[0040] Figure 3 1 is a schematic perspective view of an integrated system 10 for forming a heat pump, in particular a heat pump for an electric vehicle. The integrated system has a compressor housing 1. In addition, the integrated system has a fluid control unit 3 fixed to the housing 1. Here, the fluid control unit 3 is fixed to the housing 1 in such a way that it cooperates with the channel guide element 2. In this embodiment, the fluid control unit 3 has a hydraulic port 4. In addition, the hydraulic control unit has a pump. The fluid control unit 3 can also be called a coolant control unit. The compressor housing 1 can be part of a heat pump. The heat pump can also have an evaporator 5 and / or a condenser 6. In addition, the heat pump can have a dryer and a throttle ( Figure 3 The fluid control unit 3 and the compressor can therefore at least partially use a common housing. Thus, a greater degree of integration can be achieved.

[0041] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic exploded view of the embodiment shown in FIG. Figure 4 In the figure, the fluid control unit 3 has been removed from the compressor housing 1. Therefore, the channel guide element 2 of the compressor housing 1 can be seen. In addition, it can be seen that an intermediate plate 7 is arranged between the fluid control unit 3 and the compressor housing 1. The intermediate plate 7 defines a further plane of the channel between the fluid control unit 3 and the channel guide element 2 of the compressor housing 1. The intermediate plate has a seal 8 extending on the periphery of the intermediate plate 7. Therefore, the seal 8 can seal between the channel guide element 2 and the fluid control unit 3 in the assembled state. In addition, the cover element 9 of the compressor (see Figure 3 )exist Figure 4 The compressor housing 1 is removed. Therefore, the interior space 11 of the compressor housing 1 can be seen. In addition, the inner side 12 of the compressor housing can be seen. The inner side 12 of the compressor housing 1 is opposite to the outer side 13 of the compressor housing. The inner side 12 of the compressor housing 1 faces the interior space 11 of the compressor housing 1. The outer side 13 of the compressor housing faces the surrounding environment. Figure 4 It can be seen in FIG. 1 that the channel guide element 2 is arranged on the outer side 13 of the compressor housing 1 .

[0042] Figure 5 is a schematic exploded perspective view of an integrated system 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment basically corresponds to Figure 4, differs in that an additional channel guide element 14 is constructed in the fluid control unit 3. The additional channel guide element 14 can thus be integrated into the housing of the fluid control unit. The additional channel guide element 14 can be designed similarly to the channel guide element 2 of the compressor housing 1. The advantage provided thereby is that additional structural possibilities for the channel guide of the fluid can be realized. In particular, in cooperation with the intermediate plate 7, a wide variety of channel guides can thus be formed.

[0043] exist Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown in , a receiving section 15 can be formed, which is designed to receive electronic control components. On the one hand, the control components of the compressor can be arranged in the receiving section 15. In addition, the control components of the fluid control unit 3 are also arranged therein. In other words, the compressor control part as well as the pump control part and the valve actuator control part can be arranged in the receiving section 15. Therefore, the system as a whole can be further integrated. The cover 9 can reversibly close the receiving section 15 in an openable manner. Therefore, the control elements in the receiving section 15 can be approached from the outside at any time.

[0044] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic top view of an integrated system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 2 shows two line sections 16, which connect the channel guide element 2 to the evaporator 5 and the condenser 6 respectively. The two line sections 16 extend on the outer side 13 of the compressor housing 1. In other embodiments that are not shown, the line sections are designed as water spray pipes extending through the compressor housing 1. In addition, Figure 6 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , four integrated connection points 17 are provided on the compressor housing 1. Thus, the integrated system 10 can be fixed at the place of use using only these integrated connection points 17. In other words, neither the fluid control unit 3 nor the evaporator 5 or the condenser 6 need to be fixed individually in one place. Thus, the compressor housing 1 can serve as an integrated fastening point for multiple systems. It should be noted that four connection points are not necessarily required, and there can also be fewer or more connection points.

[0045] Figure 7is a schematic perspective view of an integrated system 10 in the installed state. The integrated system 10 is fixed to the vehicle body 19 here. The fixing is achieved via a connecting section 20 with connection points 17, on which damping elements 18 are respectively arranged. In the present embodiment, the damping elements are designed as rubber buffers. Vibrations transmitted by the vehicle body 19 can thus be damped. The connecting section 20 can be an integrated component. In one embodiment, the connecting section 20 is formed integrally with the compressor housing. The number of parts can thus be further reduced. Overall, the number of fastening elements that must be used to fix the system or a component of the system to the vehicle body 19 can thus be reduced.

[0046] In summary, it is thus possible to integrate, for example, a heat pump formed by a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a dryer and a throttle with a coolant control unit (fluid control unit, FCU) formed by a pump for a coolant, a plurality of valves and a compensation container in one unit. The fastening of the unit on the vehicle body can be achieved via a common fastening point. The unit comprises a heat pump and a coolant unit having a pump and a control valve. The central fastening part is a compressor housing 1, which can be fixed on the vehicle. The components of the unit are all fixed on the compressor housing 1. A part of the line guide of the coolant is integrated on the compressor housing. Fastening points for all listed components are integrated on the compressor housing. Hydraulic ports are integrated in the valve or pump housing, that is, made in a injection process. The electrical and electronic control unit, throttle, pump and valve of the compressor are integrated in the unit. In other words, the housing of the compressor can realize the central fastening of all components and can therefore be fixed on the vehicle body. Therefore, a high integration density with less structural space requirements and low weight can be provided. Costs can be saved thereby, because these components can be used together. The channel plate can be cast into the compressor housing. This results in short lines and in a reduction in the required amount of refrigerant and coolant and lines.
