[0031] 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.

[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thermal management integrated device comprises: a refrigerant side component 11 and a water side component 12, wherein the refrigerant side component 11 is configured to utilize the refrigerant phase change heat to realize the temperature adjustment function, and the refrigerant side component 11 has a first part 111 and a second part 112 in the first direction; the water side component 12 is configured to utilize water heat exchange, and the water side component 12 has a third part 123 and a fourth part 124 in the first direction, wherein at least a part of the third part 123 is stacked with the first part 111 along the first direction, and is opposite to the second part 112 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the fourth part 124 is opposite to the first part 111 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. In this way, the water side component 12 and the refrigerant side component 11 can be partially stacked and partially opposite, which can shorten the distance between the refrigerant side component 11 and the water side component 12, improve the compactness of the structure, and help save space, and after the compactness between the refrigerant side component 11 and the water side component 12 is improved, the pipeline can also be shortened, which is conducive to reducing energy loss and improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0033] According to the thermal management integrated device of the embodiment of the present invention, by reasonably arranging the first part 111 and the second part 112 of the refrigerant side component 11 and the third part 123 and the fourth part 124 of the water side component 12, the first part 111 and the third part 123 are stacked, and the second part 112 and the third part 123 are opposite, and the first part 111 and the fourth part 124 are opposite, the shape of the components and the space around the components can be fully utilized for reasonable arrangement.

[0034] Specifically, in the related art, the water side system and the refrigerant side system in the thermal management system of the vehicle are independently integrated, and the two systems independently set up 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. The thermal management integrated device of the embodiment of the present invention integrates the refrigerant side component 11 and the water side component 12 together, and when the refrigerant side component 11 and the water side component 12 are matched, a part of them can be overlapped to form a cross-arrangement structure (see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The dividing line A) in the figure is used to improve the compactness of the fit.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the first direction may be a vertical direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction may be a horizontal direction. The refrigerant side component 11 and the water side component 12 are both arranged along the first direction, wherein the first part 111 of the refrigerant side component 11 and the third part 123 of the water side component 12 are stacked in the up-down direction, that is, at least a part of the first part 111 and the third part 123 overlap, that is, the length of the first part 111 in the horizontal direction may be greater than the second part 112, and the length of the third part 123 in the horizontal direction may be greater than the fourth part 124. The first part 111 and the third part 123 are overlapped in the vertical direction, which can shorten the horizontal dimension of the integrated device, and the second part 112 and the third part 123 and the first part 111 and the fourth part 124 are all opposite in the horizontal direction, which can make full use of the space around the first part 111 and the third part 123, which is conducive to shortening the vertical dimension, so that when the refrigerant side component 11 and the water side component 12 are integrated, the space of its own structure can be fully utilized, thereby improving the space utilization rate. In addition, when the first part 111 and the third part 123 are stacked in the vertical direction, the water side component 12 cooperates with the refrigerant side component 11 in the weight direction to achieve a compact distribution along the gravity direction, which can improve the structural stability of the integrated device.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving space 110 is provided on the first part 111, and the receiving space 110 extends along the first direction. At least a part of the fourth part 124 is provided in the receiving space 110, so that the receiving space 110 can be fully utilized and the space utilization rate can be improved. Specifically, the shape of the first part 111 may be irregular, so the receiving space 110 is generated. The fourth part 124 can be accommodated in the receiving space 110 through reasonable design, so that the space can be fully utilized. For example, the structure of the components of the fourth part 124 can be reasonably arranged so that the shape of the fourth part 124 matches the receiving space 110, thereby improving the space utilization rate.

[0037] More specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the fourth part 124 includes a plurality of separated components, the accommodating space 110 includes a first notch 101 and a second notch 102, a portion of the components of the fourth part 124 are suitable for being embedded in the first notch 101, and another portion of the components are suitable for being embedded in the second notch 102. In combination with the foregoing, the fourth part 124 can be arranged according to the accommodating space 110 to make full use of the space of the accommodating space 110, which is conducive to improving the overall compactness of the structure. In practical applications, the plurality of components in the fourth part 124 can be reasonably arranged according to the shapes and volumes and the spaces of the first notch 101 and the second notch 102, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first portion 111 extends along the second direction, and the second portion 112 is disposed on one side of the first portion 111 along the second direction, and the third portion 123 is stacked on the other side of the first portion 111 along the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Figure 1 , the first direction may be the up-down direction, and the second direction may be the left-right direction or the front-back direction. The left-right direction is taken as an example for explanation below. That is, the first part 111 extends in the left-right direction, the second part 112 is arranged on the upper side of the first part 111, and the third part 123 is stacked on the first part 111 and is opposite to the second part 112 in the left-right direction. In this way, the upper space of the first part 111 can be fully utilized, and the first part 111 and a part of the third part 123 overlap in the up-down direction, which can shorten the left-right dimension of the thermal management integrated device.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the third portion 123 extends along the second direction, the first portion 111 is stacked on one side of the third portion 123 along the second direction, and the fourth portion 124 is disposed on the other side of the third portion 123 along the second direction, and the fourth portion 124 is embedded in the accommodation space 110. In other words, the first portion 111 also extends along the left-right direction, wherein, in the left-right direction, one side of the third portion 123 overlaps with the first portion 111, and the fourth portion 124 is connected below the other side, so that the space below the third portion 123 can be fully utilized, and in addition, the components in the fourth portion 124 can also be embedded in the accommodation space 110.

[0040] In combination with the foregoing, by partially overlapping the first part 111 and the third part 123 in the up and down directions, the first part 111 protruding from the second part 112 in the left and right directions and the third part 123 protruding from the fourth part 124 can be stacked. In this way, the relative distance between the second part 112 and the third part 123 in the left and right directions and the relative distance between the first part 111 and the third part 123 in the left and right directions are shortened, so that the structure of the thermal management integrated device is more compact and the overall structure is more regular, which is convenient for arrangement in the vehicle and can also improve the space utilization rate in the vehicle when in use.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first part 111 includes a refrigerant plate 113 and a first heat exchanger 115, and the first heat exchanger 115 is stacked with the refrigerant plate 113 along the first direction; the third part 123 includes a kettle 121, and at least a part of the kettle 121 is stacked with the refrigerant plate 113 along the first direction. Specifically, the heat exchanger and the kettle 121 occupy a large area, and the area of ​​the refrigerant plate 113 is also large. Therefore, the first heat exchanger 115 and the kettle 121 are respectively stacked on opposite sides of the refrigerant plate 113 in the up-down direction, and the space on the upper side and the lower side of the refrigerant plate 113 can be used.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the third part 123 also includes a water plate 122, and the water plate 122 is stacked with the kettle 121, and at least a part of it is stacked between the refrigerant plate 113 and the kettle 121. Specifically, the water plate 122 is stacked above the refrigerant plate 113. Since the water plate 122 and the refrigerant plate 113 are both plate-shaped structures, they fit tightly after stacking, which is conducive to reducing the occupied space and stabilizing the structure. The kettle 121 is stacked above the water plate 122, which is convenient for connecting the kettle 121 and the water plate 122, which can improve the stability of the connection, and the kettle 121 is located on the water plate 122 to improve the exhaust effect. That is to say, in the up and down directions, the kettle 121, the water plate 122, the refrigerant plate 113 and the first heat exchanger 115 are all stacked, and the structural characteristics of the components can be utilized to improve the compactness of the structure.

[0043] Combination Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the third part 123 also includes an external pipe joint and a sensor 118. The external pipe joint and the sensor 118 are arranged along the first direction with the refrigerant plate 113. They can be arranged according to the functions of the external pipe joint and the sensor 118, so as to shorten the pipeline and simplify the structure. Specifically, the external pipe joint can be arranged on the upper or lower side of the refrigerant plate 113 according to the position of the component to be connected to the external pipe joint, and the sensor 118 can also be arranged on the upper or lower side of the refrigerant plate 113 according to the function of the sensor 118 or the position of the component cooperating with the sensor 118. According to the thermal management integrated device of the embodiment of the present invention, the kettle 121, the water plate 122, the external pipe joint and the sensor 118 are located on the upper part of the refrigerant plate 113.

[0044] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant side component 11 may also include a valve device. Specifically, a refrigerant flow channel is also opened inside the refrigerant plate 113 for connecting each valve device 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 113 and the heat exchanger include interfaces that are directly or indirectly connected to other thermal management components of the vehicle (indirect connection refers to connection with an external adapter through a short refrigerant pipe). The refrigerant circuit is jointly formed by the interfaces, channels, valve devices, liquid reservoirs or gas-liquid separators, heat exchangers and other thermal management components of the vehicle on the refrigerant side component 11. Among them, the valve device includes at least one or more of the solenoid valve 1192, the electronic expansion valve 1191, and the one-way valve 1193. The solenoid valve 1192 is responsible for the opening and closing of the flow channel to coordinate the switching of each mode flow path. The electronic expansion valve 1191 is responsible for throttling control of the fluid flow and pressure in the flow channel to achieve the temperature requirements in different modes. The one-way valve 1193 is a control valve for the direction of fluid flow, which 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.

[0045] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first part 111 further includes a second heat exchanger 116 and a third heat exchanger 117, a water channel 114 is provided on the refrigerant plate 113, the water channel 114 is communicated with the water plate 122, and the second heat exchanger 116 and the third heat exchanger 117 are both connected to the water channel 114, so that the second heat exchanger 116 and the third heat exchanger 117 can exchange heat with the water channel 114. Specifically, since the area of ​​the refrigerant plate 113 is relatively large, there is a accommodating space 110 below the refrigerant plate 113, thereby, a plurality of heat exchangers can be arranged below the refrigerant plate 113, wherein, by providing the water channel 114 on the refrigerant plate 113, the heat exchanger that needs to exchange heat with water and the heat exchanger that needs to exchange heat with the refrigerant can be arranged on one side of the refrigerant plate 113, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of arrangement, so as to fully utilize the space, and to shorten and simplify the pipeline.

[0046] More specifically, the water flow channel 114 can be arranged according to the structure of the refrigerant plate 113, or according to the position of the heat exchanger, so that the heat exchanger is connected to the water flow channel 114, which is beneficial for the heat exchanger and water to exchange heat, so that the heat exchanger can play the role of exchanging refrigerant and water energy.

[0047] Optionally, the heat exchanger may be connected to the water plate 122 and the refrigerant plate 113 .

[0048] According to the thermal management integrated device of an embodiment of the present invention, the second heat exchanger 116 can be a battery cooler, and the third heat exchanger 117 can be a water-cooled condenser, wherein the second heat exchanger 116 and the third heat exchanger 117 can be arranged in a staggered manner. For example, the second heat exchanger 116 and the third heat exchanger 117 are arranged relative to each other along the diagonal of the refrigerant plate 113, which can help to appropriately increase the extension length of the water flow channel 114 and improve the coordination effect between the water flow channel 114 and the second heat exchanger 116 and the third heat exchanger 117, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency while improving the space utilization.

[0049] Of course, the second heat exchanger 116 and the third heat exchanger 117 may also be other heat exchange structures, and the second heat exchanger 116 and the third heat exchanger 117 may also be arranged side by side, etc. They can be reasonably arranged according to actual conditions, such as adjusting according to the function and size of the heat exchanger, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the fourth part 124 includes a water pump 125 and a water valve assembly 126, the water pump 125 is connected to the water valve assembly 126, and the water pump 125 and the water valve assembly 126 are arranged along the first direction with the refrigerant plate 113, so that the water pump 125 and the water valve assembly 126 can be arranged in the accommodating space 110 of the first part 111. Specifically, the water valve assembly 126 and the water pump 125 can be connected to the water plate 122, the upper part of the water plate 122 is stacked with a kettle 121, and the water valve assembly 126 and the water pump 125 can be connected to the lower surface or lower part of the water plate 122 to utilize the space under the water plate 122 for arrangement. In combination with the foregoing, the water pump 125 and the water valve assembly 126 can be arranged according to the positions of the first notch 101 and the second notch 102, so as to make full use of the space of the refrigerant side component 11 and improve the structural compactness of the thermal management integrated device.

[0051] Specifically, the water valve assembly 126 includes a first water valve 1261 and a second water valve 1262. The first water valve 1261 and the water pump 125 are suitable for being embedded in the first notch 101, and the second water valve 1262 is suitable for being embedded in the second notch 102. In practical applications, they can be reasonably arranged according to the sizes of the first notch 101 and the second notch 102 and the sizes of the first water valve 1261, the second water valve 1262 and the water pump 125 to make full use of the space.

[0052] In actual application, the water pump 125 and the water valve assembly 126 are located at the lower part of the water plate 122 and are flush with the installation plane of the refrigerant plate 113. Thus, it can effectively ensure that the compact distribution along the gravity direction is achieved under the premise that the liquid storage and gas separation functions of the kettle 121 work normally.

[0053] According to the thermal management integrated device of the embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant plate 113 extends in the left-right direction, and the refrigerant plate 113 includes a first plate portion and a second plate portion, and the first plate body is connected to the second plate body, wherein the first plate body is surrounded by a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side to form an approximately rectangular structure, and the second plate body has an approximately rectangular structure surrounded by a third side, a sixth side, a seventh side and an eighth side. The second plate body is connected to a side of the first plate body. Specifically, the accommodating space 110 is separated by the first plate portion and the second plate portion in the front-to-back direction, and the first notch 101 is located at the front side of the first plate portion and the second plate portion, that is, the first notch 101 is constructed between the first side and the sixth side; the second notch 102 is located at the rear side of the first plate portion and the second plate portion, that is, the second notch 102 is constructed between the third side and the seventh side. That is to say, by embedding the fourth part 124 into the accommodating space 110, the space around the refrigerant plate 113 can be fully utilized, and by filling the gap around the refrigerant plate 113, the structure can be made more compact and the overall shape of the integrated device can be made more regular, which facilitates the arrangement of the thermal management integrated device in the vehicle and helps to improve the utilization rate of the space inside the vehicle.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the kettle 121, the water pump 125 and the water valve assembly 126 are all sealed and connected to the water plate 122, which can avoid energy leakage and improve the stability and safety of the operation of the thermal management integrated device.

[0055] According to the thermal management integrated device of the embodiment of the present invention, multiple components on the water side can be relatively fixed and sealed to the water plate 122 to form a water side component 12, and then the water side component 12 can be fixed as a whole and sealed to the refrigerant side component 11.

[0056] According to the thermal management integrated device of the embodiment of the present invention, the water plate 122 is provided with a cooling channel, and the cooling channel is connected to the kettle 121 to form a water circuit; the refrigerant side component 11 includes a refrigerant plate 113 and a heat exchanger 115, and the refrigerant plate 113 is provided with a refrigerant channel, and the refrigerant channel is connected to the heat exchanger 115 to form a refrigerant circuit, wherein the refrigerant circuit is connected to the water circuit for heat exchange, so that the temperature control of the vehicle can be achieved. For example, the water circuit can transfer heat with the functional components inside the vehicle to make the functional components within a suitable temperature range, and then the water in the water circuit can transfer heat with the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit, so that the water in the water circuit can be restored to the original temperature and continue to transfer heat with the functional components, thereby achieving the temperature control of the vehicle.

[0057] Among them, the cooling flow channel can be connected with the flow channel that needs heat exchange (such as the cockpit heat exchange flow channel, the battery heat exchange flow channel, etc.) to form a water circulation loop, and the refrigerant flow channel can form a refrigerant reflux through a combination of a compressor, a condenser, a throttle valve, and an evaporator connected in series in sequence, and the refrigerant reflux cooperates with the water circulation loop for heat exchange.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 The present invention further proposes a thermal management integrated system 100, comprising the aforementioned thermal management integrated device, a support assembly 14 and a water heater 13. The refrigerant side assembly 11 is connected to the support assembly 14, and the water heater 13 is installed on the support assembly 14. In other words, the support assembly 14 can be used to install and support the refrigerant side assembly 11 and the water heater 13, so that the refrigerant side assembly 11, the water side assembly 12 and the water heater 13 can be easily connected through the support assembly 14, and it is beneficial to improve the overall structural compactness and stability of the thermal management integrated system 100.

[0059] According to the thermal management integrated system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by connecting the refrigerant side component 11 and the water heater 13 on the support component 14, and the refrigerant side component 11 is connected to the water side component 12, and the water heater 13 is connected to the water side component 12, the refrigerant side component 11, the water side component 12 and the water heater 13 can be integrated and arranged, which is beneficial to improving the structural compactness and stability of the thermal management integrated system 100.

In other words, the first support frame 141 and the second support frame 142 can be used to connect different components of the thermal management integrated system 100, respectively, so as to facilitate installation and positioning, and the first support frame 141 and the second support frame 142 are connected, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the structure and dispersing the force, thereby improving the structural stability and impact resistance of the thermal management integrated system 100. Among them, there is an angle greater than 0° between the axes of the first support frame 141 and the second support frame 142. With this arrangement, it can be installed in multiple directions to improve the impact resistance of the thermal management integrated system 100.

[0061] Optionally, the water heater 13 may also be installed on the first support frame 141, and the second support frame 142 is connected to the first support frame 141, and the second support frame 142 is used to improve the overall stability of the structure and provide support for the first support frame 141. In other words, the second support frame 142 can be used only to improve the stability of the support assembly 14, and the water heater 13 can also be installed on the second support frame 142 to facilitate the assembly of the water heater 13.

[0062] Optionally, the first support frame 141 and the second support frame 142 can be a split structure, which can reduce the superposition of vibrations between the two support frames, avoid greater vibrations when the superposition of vibrations is transmitted to the refrigerant side component 11, and can have a certain shock-absorbing effect. At the same time, it can also avoid processing errors that cause insufficient assembly accuracy of the support frames.

[0063] Combination Figure 1 In some examples of the present invention, a buffer structure 143 is provided on the first support frame 141, and the buffer structure 143 includes a vibration isolation pad 1432 and a bushing 1431. The vibration isolation pad 1432 is sleeved on the outside of the bushing 1431, and the axial dimension of the bushing 1431 is smaller than the axial dimension of the vibration isolation pad 1432. In this way, the vibration isolation pad 1432 can be within a recoverable deformation range to reduce damage to the buffer structure 143.

[0064] For example, the support assembly 14 can connect the thermal management device to the frame. When the frame is subjected to impact and vibration, it can be relatively displaced with the first support frame 141. At this time, the vibration isolation pad 1432 of the buffer structure 143 will be squeezed and deformed along its own axial direction, thereby achieving a buffering effect, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the stability of the thermal management device and protecting the thermal management device.

[0065] Combination Figure 5In some examples of the present invention, the thermal management integrated system 100 further includes a wiring harness assembly 15, which includes a main line 151 and multiple branches 152. The multiple branches 152 are all gathered on the main line 151. The multiple branches 152 are respectively connected to the water side assembly 12 and the refrigerant side assembly 11. The main line 151 is used to connect to the controller. The wiring harness assembly 15 includes connectors connected to electrical equipment such as pumps, valves, sensors, etc. in the refrigerant side assembly 11 and the water side assembly 12, and the wiring harness assembly 15 that connects the various connectors, and finally converges to a unified connector connected to the integrated controller, so as to facilitate the management of the wiring harness and improve the control effect.
