[0025] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0026] The thermal management module 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a water side component 10 and a refrigerant side component 20. The water side component 10 has a coolant passage. The refrigerant side component 20 is connected to the water side component 10 as a whole. The refrigerant side component 20 has a refrigerant passage and is configured to transfer heat through a refrigerant phase change, and the refrigerant passage cooperates with the coolant passage in heat exchange. Specifically, the refrigerant side component 20 can take away the heat from the water side component 10 during operation to adjust the temperature of the liquid in the water side component 10. The water side component 10 can be connected to a product or component that needs to be temperature controlled to form a coolant loop. The liquid can achieve temperature adjustment of the product during the circulation of the coolant loop. By integrating the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 into one, the integration of the thermal management module 100 is facilitated, so that the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 can work together, improve the working stability of the thermal management module 100, and can reduce energy loss and improve heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the water-side component 10 is connected to the refrigerant-side component 20 , so that the space of the thermal management module 100 is compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight design of the product and can facilitate the assembly and maintenance of the thermal management module 100 .
[0027] Among them, the water side component 10 has a coolant passage, and the refrigerant side component 20 has a refrigerant passage. The coolant passage and the refrigerant passage are each closed-loop circulated. In other words, the coolant passage forms an independent closed-loop passage, and the refrigerant passage also forms an independent closed-loop passage. The refrigerant side component 20 can take away the heat of the liquid in the coolant passage to achieve heat exchange. The liquid in the water side component 10 circulates in the coolant passage, and after completing the temperature adjustment of the product, it flows back into the coolant passage to continue heat exchange with the refrigerant side component 20.
[0028] The thermal management module 100 can be applied to a vehicle, and the thermal management module 100 can realize temperature control of the passenger compartment, battery, electric drive system, etc. of the vehicle. Among them, the water side component 10 can be connected to the position where heat exchange is required to form a coolant loop, thereby realizing effective temperature control of the battery, electric drive system, passenger compartment, etc. of the whole vehicle. For example, when it is necessary to cool down the passenger compartment, the refrigerant side component 20 works and cools the liquid in the water side component 10. The refrigerated liquid flows along the coolant passage and flows through the passenger compartment to cool down the passenger compartment. After absorbing the heat in the passenger compartment, the coolant flows back and continues to cool through the refrigerant side component 20. The coolant circulates in the water side component 10 to realize continuous temperature regulation in the passenger compartment. It can be understood that the liquid has a large heat capacity and can absorb more heat, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect. The liquid heat exchange method has low noise and high stability, which can reduce the failure rate of the thermal management module 100 and improve the working stability of the thermal management module 100.
[0029] In the related art, the water side system and the refrigerant side system in the thermal management system of the vehicle are set separately, and the two systems set separately occupy a large space, and the pipelines also occupy a lot of space, which is not conducive to the lightweight and miniaturization of the whole vehicle. Too long pipelines will also cause large heat losses. The thermal management module 100 of the embodiment of the present invention integrates the refrigerant side component 20 and the water side component 10 together, and when the refrigerant side component 20 cooperates with the water side component 10, a part can be overlapped to form a cross-arrangement structure to improve the compactness of the cooperation.
[0030] The water side component 10 has a coolant passage in it, and the coolant flows in the passage. The cooling medium can be pure water or a glycol mixture, etc.
[0031] Among them, the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 are connected, which can be welding, riveting, fastening connection, etc. The water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 can be stably connected to improve the structural stability of the thermal management module 100.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 can be fastened together by fasteners 30. The fastened connection method can improve the stability of the connection structure between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20, avoid displacement, and facilitate disassembly to facilitate the assembly and subsequent maintenance of the thermal management module 100.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water side component 10 may include a flow channel plate 12, and a coolant passage may be provided in the flow channel plate 12, that is, the coolant in the water side component 10 may flow into the flow channel plate 12, and the refrigerant side component 20 may include a refrigerant plate 21, and the flow channel plate 12 and the refrigerant plate 21 may be stacked and fixedly connected, which can increase the contact area between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20, so that the refrigerant plate 21 can effectively exchange heat with the liquid in the flow channel plate 12, improve the heat exchange efficiency of the coolant, and then improve the heat exchange efficiency of the thermal management module 100. Moreover, the refrigerant plate 21 and the flow channel plate 12 are stacked, which can improve the compactness of the arrangement of the thermal management module 100, which is conducive to reducing the overall size, and can shorten the pipeline, which is conducive to reducing energy loss. When the thermal management module 100 is applied to a vehicle, the thermal management module 100 has high energy efficiency and can improve the vehicle's cruising range.
[0034] Furthermore, the water side component 10 may have a first port 11, and the refrigerant side component 20 may have a second port (not shown in the figure). The first port 11 and the second port may be connected and sealed to construct a connecting structure. At least one fastener 30 is provided within a predetermined size range around the connecting structure. The connecting structure is fixed by setting the fastener 30 so that the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 can be stably connected together, and the connection structure between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 is simple, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20.
[0035] In addition, the water side component 10 has a coolant passage, and the refrigerant side component 20 has a refrigerant passage. Fixing with fasteners 30 can improve the sealing performance of the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20, avoid leakage of refrigerant or liquid, and improve the reliability of the thermal management module 100.
[0036] The predetermined size is no greater than 50 mm. The predetermined size refers to the size of the connecting structure from the fastener 30. For example, the cross section of the connecting structure may be circular, and the predetermined size may be the distance between the circumference of the connecting structure and the fastener 30. By setting the predetermined size to no greater than 50 mm, and a certain gap between the fastener 30 and the connecting structure, the fastener 30 can be easily assembled, and the fastener 30 can stably fix the connecting structure, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20.
[0037] The refrigerant plate 21 may be configured into a hollow shape to facilitate docking of the first port 11 and the second port, thereby facilitating the connection between the water-side component 10 and the refrigerant-side component 20 .
[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of connecting structures may be formed between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20. According to the thermal management module 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the temperature control of multiple positions such as the vehicle battery, the electric drive system, and the passenger compartment can be realized. By setting a plurality of connecting structures, the plurality of connecting structures can be respectively connected to different positions of the vehicle, thereby realizing the temperature control of multiple positions of the vehicle. By integrating the thermal management module 100, the miniaturization and lightweight design of the vehicle can be facilitated. In addition, a plurality of connecting structures may be arranged along the circumference of the thermal management module 100, and the plurality of connecting structures are reasonably distributed, which is conducive to the assembly connection of the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20, and is convenient for the respective pipeline connection of the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, a fastener 30 may be provided inside the surrounding area of the plurality of connecting structures. The fastener 30 can fix the connecting structures to improve the stability of the connecting structures.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, fasteners 30 may be provided on the outer sides of the surrounding areas of the plurality of connecting structures. The fasteners 30 can stably fix the connecting structures, thereby improving the stability of the connecting structures.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple fasteners 30 may be provided on the outside of the surrounding area of the multiple connecting structures, and the multiple fasteners 30 are arranged around the surrounding area. In other words, the multiple fasteners 30 surround the outside of the multiple connecting structures. By reasonably arranging the multiple fasteners 30, the multiple fasteners 30 can simultaneously stably fix the connecting structures inside thereof, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the thermal management module 100.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, fasteners 30 may be provided on the inner and outer sides of the surrounding areas of multiple connecting structures. By reasonably and effectively distributing the inner and outer fasteners 30, it is ensured that the distance between the multiple fasteners 30 is not too close and that they can be evenly distributed around the connecting structure, so as to stably fix the connecting structure and improve the structural stability of the thermal management module 100.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fasteners 30 include at least five. In combination with the aforementioned embodiments, the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 may have multiple ports for mutual circulation, and the ports need to be sealed and connected to form a communication structure. Generally speaking, at least one fastening point can be set within the diameter of 100 mm of the sealing port, and fixed by the fastener 30 to improve the stability of the connection structure between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20. Of course, the fasteners 30 can also be set to six, seven, eight, nine, ten, etc.
[0044] The water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20 are fastened and connected by fasteners 30. The fasteners 30 may be bolt fastening connections, and the bolt model may be M5, M6, or M8 standard models. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the number of fasteners 30 may be eight. In addition to fasteners 30 being arranged near the ports, fasteners 30 may also be arranged on the periphery of the area where multiple ports are arranged, so as to further improve the stability of the connection structure between the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant side component 20 may include at least one of a valve device, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a gas-liquid separator, a liquid reservoir, and a refrigerant heat exchanger, and at least one of them is installed on the refrigerant plate 21 .
[0046] Specifically, a refrigerant flow channel may be opened inside the refrigerant plate 21 for connecting various valve devices and other vehicle thermal management components (such as a compressor, a front-end module, an air-conditioning box, etc.). At the same time, the refrigerant plate 21 and the heat exchanger include interfaces that are directly or indirectly connected to the other thermal management components of the vehicle (indirect connection refers to connection with an external adapter through a short refrigerant pipe). The refrigerant side component 20's various interfaces, channels, valve devices, liquid storage tanks or gas-liquid separators, heat exchangers and other thermal management components of the vehicle together constitute a refrigerant circuit.
[0047] The temperature sensor can detect the temperature and generate a temperature signal to accurately adjust the temperature through the refrigerant side component 20 according to the ambient temperature or the temperature of the water side component 10, thereby improving the temperature adjustment accuracy of the thermal management module 100. The pressure sensor can detect the pressure of the refrigerant and generate a pressure signal to control the flow of the refrigerant and improve the working stability of the thermal management module 100.
[0048] Optionally, the valve device includes at least one or more of a solenoid valve, an electronic expansion valve, and a one-way valve. The solenoid valve is responsible for opening and closing the flow channel to coordinate the switching of each mode flow path. The electronic expansion valve is responsible for throttling control of the fluid flow and pressure in the flow channel to achieve temperature requirements in different modes. The one-way valve serves as a control valve for the direction of fluid flow and only allows one-way flow, so as to prevent backflow in a specific mode and ensure the normal operation of the mode.
[0049] In the refrigerant side component 20, the valve device at least includes one or more of a solenoid valve, an electronic expansion valve, and a one-way valve. The solenoid valve is responsible for the on-off of the flow channel to coordinate the switching of each mode flow path. The electronic expansion valve is responsible for the throttling control of the fluid flow and pressure in the flow channel to achieve the temperature requirements in different modes. The one-way valve is used as a control valve for the direction of fluid flow, and only allows one-way flow, so as to play a role in preventing backflow in a specific mode and ensure the normal operation of the mode. The refrigerant side component 20 may include one or more of a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, or a temperature-pressure integrated sensor. The sensor can be selectively installed at the outlet of the refrigerant heat exchanger, the liquid reservoir, or the inlet of the gas-liquid separator to detect the pressure and temperature of the fluid at the corresponding position. Among them, the refrigerant heat exchanger in the refrigerant side component 20 can simultaneously realize the energy exchange between the refrigerant and water or between the refrigerant and the refrigerant. The liquid reservoir includes a liquid storage chamber, a liquid return pipe, and a desiccant, which is used to store the excess refrigerant liquid that does not participate in the circulation in the system to ensure the normal operation of the system. The gas-liquid separator includes an inlet, a return air pipe, a gas-liquid separation chamber, and installation and fixing components. It separates the gas and liquid of the refrigerant before it enters the compressor to prevent reliability risks such as liquid hammer caused by liquid suction in the compressor.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water side component 10 may include at least one of a kettle, a water valve, a water pump, a water temperature sensor, a coolant heat exchanger, etc., and at least one is installed on the flow channel plate 12. The flow channel plate 12 may be provided with a coolant passage, which can be connected to the kettle to form a water circuit, the water pump can be connected to the water valve, the water pump can drive the liquid to circulate, and the liquid channel can be opened or closed through the water valve. The water temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the coolant and generate a temperature signal, thereby controlling the water temperature to achieve precise temperature regulation. The water side component 10 may also include a coolant heat exchanger, which can exchange heat with the coolant to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the water side component 10. In other words, the coolant heat exchanger and the refrigerant side component 20 can both exchange heat with the coolant, which can greatly improve the heat exchange efficiency of the thermal management module 100, thereby ensuring that the thermal management module 100 can simultaneously manage the temperature of multiple locations of the vehicle.
[0051] The thermal management module 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to vehicles. The thermal management module 100 has high integration and compact structure, which is convenient for miniaturization and lightweight design of vehicles. The circuits on both the refrigerant side and the water side perform heat exchange at the same time, with high heat exchange efficiency, thus improving the energy utilization rate of the vehicle and being able to increase the vehicle's cruising range.

[0053] The thermal management module 100 internally includes a refrigerant circuit and a coolant circuit, and the coolant circuit and the refrigerant circuit are each circulated in a closed loop and heat exchanged through a plate heat exchanger, thereby achieving effective temperature control of the vehicle battery, electric drive, and passenger compartment. The components inside the integrated module can selectively adopt solutions with or without electronic control, combined with an integrated controller to achieve a lower-cost overall solution. Through the thermal management module 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by integrating the water side component 10 and the refrigerant side component 20, the overall size of the thermal management module 100 is greatly reduced, and the system is miniaturized and lightweight.
