DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] 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.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 4According to the embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant side component 100 includes: a plate body 10 and a first sensor 210. The plate body 10 has a refrigerant flow channel and a first mounting hole 101. The first mounting hole 101 is arranged on the surface of the plate body 10 and communicates with the refrigerant flow channel. The first sensor 210 is inserted into the first mounting hole 101 and is connected to the plate body 10. That is, the refrigerant side component 100 is provided with the first sensor 210. The first sensor 210 is installed on the refrigerant plate through the first mounting hole 101 and communicates with the refrigerant flow channel, so that the first sensor 210 can be used to monitor the state of the fluid in the refrigerant flow channel, for example, it can be used to monitor the temperature or pressure of the fluid, etc., which can realize direct monitoring of the fluid and help improve the accuracy of monitoring. Furthermore, the axis of the first mounting hole 101 is inclined relative to the surface of the plate body 10, so that after the first sensor 210 is installed in the first mounting hole 101, the axis of the first sensor 210 extends obliquely relative to the surface of the plate body 10, which can achieve an avoidance effect, which is beneficial to improve the flexible arrangement of multiple components of the refrigerant side assembly 100 and improve the compactness of the structure. Specifically, when other components are connected to the plate body 10, the inclined first sensor 210 can provide a clearance space to facilitate wiring or routing, etc., which is beneficial to wiring and space layout, and the structure is simple and easy to arrange. In addition, after the first sensor 210 is inclined, the wiring harness of the first sensor 210 can extend in a predetermined direction, which can facilitate the collection of the wiring harness.

[0028] According to the refrigerant side component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the first mounting hole 101 on the plate body 10, the first sensor 210 can be installed on the plate body 10 and connected with the refrigerant flow channel, and the axis of the first mounting hole 101 is inclined relative to the surface of the plate body 10, so that the first sensor 210 after installation can be arranged obliquely relative to the surface of the plate body 10, which can play a giving way or avoiding effect, is conducive to spatial arrangement, and has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0029] Combination Figure 1In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant side component 100 further includes: a valve body 30, the valve body 30 is arranged on the plate body 10, and the valve body 30 and the first sensor 210 are arranged on the same side of the plate body 10, and the first mounting hole 101 is configured to be inclined in the direction away from the valve body 30 in the direction toward the outside of the plate body 10. That is, the valve body 30 and the first sensor 210 can be installed on the same side of the plate body 10, wherein the first mounting hole 101 is inclined in the direction away from the valve body 30, so that the first sensor 210 can also be inclined in the direction away from the valve body 30 after being installed in the first mounting hole 101, thereby avoiding the problem of mutual interference between the first sensor 210 and the valve body 30 when they are simultaneously installed on the surface of the plate body 10. In particular, when the arrangement distance between the valve body 30 and the first sensor 210 is relatively close, the first sensor 210 inclined relative to the surface of the plate body 10 can provide a space for the outlet terminal 301 or the plug-in part of the valve body 30, so that the components on the plate body 10 can be arranged compactly.

[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the valve body 30 has an outlet terminal 301, the outlet terminal 301 faces the first sensor 210, and the lead wire 302 of the valve body 30 is arranged outside the circumference of the first sensor 210, so that the outlet terminal 301 of the valve body 30 can be electrically connected to the outside, and the lead wire of the outlet terminal 301 will not interfere with the first sensor 210, and the lead wire 302 can extend along the outside of the circumference of the first sensor 210 to achieve wiring. In addition, when it is necessary to plug or unplug the wiring terminal or the lead wire 302, the inclined first sensor 210 can also provide a clearance space to facilitate maintenance or repair of the valve body 30. In other words, when the valve body 30 and the first sensor 210 are arranged close to each other on the plate body 10, the valve body 30 can be assembled and maintained without disassembling the first sensor 210.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first sensor 210 is configured to be detachably connected to the plate body 10 along the axis of the first mounting hole 101 to facilitate assembly or maintenance of the first sensor 210 and improve the flexibility of the refrigerant side component 100 during application.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant side component 100 includes an integrated wiring harness and a plurality of valve bodies 30, the plurality of valve bodies 30 are mounted on the plate body 10, and the outlet terminals 301 are arranged toward the integrated wiring harness, and the lead wires 302 of the plurality of valve bodies 30 are integrated into the integrated wiring harness. Specifically, the plurality of valve bodies 30 are provided with outlet terminals 301, and the outlet terminals 301 lead out the wiring harness, and the wiring harnesses on the plurality of valve bodies 30 are arranged toward the integrated wiring harness, so that the wiring harnesses led out of the outlet terminals 301 can be collected through the integrated wiring harness, thereby facilitating the management of the plurality of valve bodies 30. In addition, the wiring harness of the first sensor 210 can also be arranged toward the integrated wiring harness to facilitate the management of the wiring harness.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, a second mounting hole 102 is further provided on the surface of the plate body 10, the axis of the second mounting hole 102 is perpendicular to the surface, and the second mounting hole 102 can be used to assemble the valve body 30. A plurality of second mounting holes 102 can be arranged on the surface of the plate body 10 for mounting a plurality of valve bodies 30. Specifically, the second mounting hole 102 is perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10, so that after the valve body 30 is mounted in the second mounting hole 102, it can extend in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10, which is convenient for assembly and helps to improve the stability after assembly.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the plate body 10 has a first edge 110 and a second edge 120, the first edge 110 is connected to the second edge 120 and is perpendicular to the second edge 120, and an angle is formed between the outlet ends 301 of the plurality of valve bodies 30 and the first edge 110 or the second edge 120, and the angles of the angles between the plurality of valve bodies 30 and the first edge 110 or the second edge 120 are different. Thus, the outlet ends 301 of the plurality of valve bodies 30 can face different directions, so that the wiring harnesses led out of the outlet ends 301 can extend in different directions, which is conducive to achieving smooth wiring and can avoid the wiring harnesses of the plurality of valve bodies 30 from being intertwined, making it inconvenient to organize and collect.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, a second sensor 220 is further included. The second sensor 220 can be inserted into the second mounting hole 102 and connected to the plate body 10. That is, the refrigerant side component 100 can also be provided with a second sensor 220. The second sensor 220 can be a sensor with a different function from the first sensor 210. After the second sensor 220 is inserted into the second mounting hole 102, it can be connected to the refrigerant flow channel to monitor the state of the fluid and improve the stability of the operation of the refrigerant side component 100. Of course, the first sensor 210 and the second sensor 220 can also be sensors with the same function but different settings, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0036] In combination with the above, the refrigerant side component 100 may only be provided with a first mounting hole 101 which is inclined relative to the surface of the plate body 10, and the first sensor 210 is installed on the first mounting hole 101. Alternatively, the refrigerant side component 100 may be provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 101, and the first sensor 210 and the second sensor 220 are both installed on the first mounting hole 101, or the first sensor 210 is installed on the first mounting hole 101, and the second sensor 220 is installed on the second mounting hole 102. In practical applications, the first sensor 210 and the second sensor 220 may be set according to their positions. When the sensor is close to the valve body 30, or the direction of the outlet terminal 301 of the valve body 30 or the direction of the lead wire 302 is likely to interfere with the sensor, the axis of the mounting hole for installing the sensor may be set to be inclined relative to the surface of the plate body 10, so that the sensor can be inclined relative to the surface of the plate body 10 after installation, thereby achieving an avoidance effect. When the distance between the sensor and the valve body 30 is far, or the direction of the outlet terminal 301 of the valve body 30 and the direction of the outlet terminal of the sensor or the direction of the lead wire 302 will not interfere with the sensor, the axis of the mounting hole for installing the sensor can be set perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10 so that the sensor can be perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10 after installation.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant side component 100 includes: a plate body 10, a sensor and a plurality of valve bodies 30, wherein the sensor includes a first sensor 210 and a second sensor 220, and the plurality of valve bodies 30 include a first valve body 310, a second valve body 320, a third valve body 330, a fourth valve body 340 and a fifth valve body 350; the plate body 10 has a refrigerant flow channel, a first mounting hole 101 and a second mounting hole 102, and the first mounting hole 101 and the second mounting hole 102 are arranged on the upper surface of the plate body 10.

[0038] Specifically, the axial direction of the first mounting hole 101 is inclined relative to the surface of the plate body 10, and the axis of the second mounting hole 102 is perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10. Among them, the first mounting hole 101 and the second mounting hole 102 can extend along the thickness direction of the plate body 10 to construct a boss on the surface of the plate body 10, so as to facilitate the assembly of the sensor or the valve body 30 on the first mounting hole 101 or the second mounting hole 102, which is conducive to increasing the contact area of ​​the assembly and improving the stability after assembly. More specifically, the first sensor 210 and the second sensor 220 can be sensors such as temperature sensors or pressure sensors for monitoring the state of the fluid or the state in the refrigerant flow channel. The multiple valve bodies 30 can be at least one of an electronic expansion valve, a solenoid valve or a one-way valve.

[0039] According to the refrigerant side assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the first valve body 310 and the second valve body 320 may be electronic expansion valves, and the third valve body 330, the fourth valve body 340 and the fifth valve body 350 may be solenoid valves. Of course, the number and type of valve bodies 30 may also be arranged according to the actual use state, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0040] More specifically, the plate body 10 is provided with a first mounting hole 101 and a plurality of second mounting holes 102. During assembly, the first sensor 210 can be installed in the first mounting hole 101, and the second sensor 220, the first valve body 310, the second valve body 320, the third valve body 330, the fourth valve body 340 and the fifth valve body 350 can all be installed in the second mounting hole 102.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 , the first sensor 210 is installed on the first mounting hole 101, and the first sensor 210 is arranged on a side close to the first edge 110 of the plate body 10, and the second valve body 320 is installed on the second mounting hole 102, and the outlet end 301 of the second valve body 320 extends in the direction of the first sensor 210. Since the first sensor 210 is installed and extended obliquely, the outlet end 301 of the second valve body 320 has a plug-in and unplug space, and the lead wire 302 of the outlet end 301 of the second valve body 320 can extend along the outer periphery of the first sensor 210 toward the direction of the collection and wiring harness, and the lead wire 302 does not need to be entangled or avoid the first sensor 210. Therefore, by setting the first mounting hole 101, the arrangement distance between the first sensor 210 and the second valve body 320 can be shortened, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the structure. The second sensor 220 is installed on the second installation hole 102. The second sensor 220 is arranged on a side close to the second edge 120 of the plate body 10. After the second sensor 220 is installed, it is perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10. A third valve body 330 and a fourth valve body 340 are arranged around the second sensor 220, wherein the outlet end 301 of the third valve body 330 faces the second sensor 220, but the distance between the third valve body 330 and the second sensor 220 is relatively far, and no interference will occur. The distance between the fourth valve body 340 and the second sensor 220 is relatively close, but the outlet end 301 of the fourth valve body 340 faces the direction away from the second sensor 220, and no interference will occur with the second sensor 220. Therefore, the second sensor 220 can be arranged without tilting.

[0042] That is to say, when multiple sensors and multiple valve bodies 30 need to be arranged on the plate body 10, the multiple valve bodies 30 all have multiple output terminals 301, and the setting method of the sensors can be determined according to the arrangement of the multiple valve bodies 30 and the orientation of the output terminals 301 of the multiple valve bodies 30 to improve the compactness and flexibility of the arrangement.

[0043] In summary, it can be seen that two types of mounting holes for assembling components can be set on the plate body 10. One type of mounting hole is a type in which the axis of the mounting hole is set obliquely relative to the surface of the plate body 10, that is, the axis of the mounting hole is not perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10 or there is an angle of less than ninety degrees; the other type of mounting hole is a type in which the axis of the mounting hole is set vertically relative to the surface of the plate body 10, that is, the axis of the mounting hole is perpendicular to the surface of the plate body 10 or there is an angle of ninety degrees. By setting two types of mounting holes, multiple components can be extended vertically or obliquely after installation. The components arranged with oblique extension can provide space for the components extending vertically, which is convenient for shortening the distance between two adjacent components and is conducive to improving the compactness of the arrangement. Therefore, it should be noted that the first mounting hole 101 and the second mounting hole 102 are not limited to installing sensors or valves, but can be flexibly arranged according to actual application scenarios to improve the flexibility of the arrangement and the compactness of the arrangement structure. Therefore, one or more of the first mounting hole 101 and the second mounting hole 102 can be set according to the actual arrangement situation, and can be arranged according to the actual arrangement situation of the components, and the present invention is not limited to this.

Specifically, the liquid storage tank 20 is installed on the plate body 10 in the up-down direction, so that the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet of the liquid storage tank 20 can be directly connected to the interface of the plate body 10, so that the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 20 flows to the plate body 10, which is conducive to simplifying the assembly structure and improving work efficiency. The liquid storage tank 20 is fixed on the plate body 10 in the up-down direction, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the liquid storage tank 20 after assembly. In addition, the upper end surface of the plate body 10 has an accommodating space that can accommodate the liquid storage tank 20, which is beneficial to space arrangement.

[0045] According to the refrigerant side component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the assembly structure can be simplified by directly connecting the liquid storage tank 20 to the plate body 10, and the liquid storage tank 20 is connected to the plate body 10 in the up and down directions, which can improve the assembly stability and facilitate the spatial arrangement.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid storage tank 20 may also be connected to the board body 10 in a direction perpendicular to the panel of the board body 10 to fully utilize the space on the end surface of the board body 10 .

[0047] Combination Figure 3In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet are arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 20, the refrigerant inlet is connected to the first interface up and down, and the refrigerant outlet is connected to the second interface up and down. That is to say, during assembly, the liquid storage tank 20 can directly connect the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet to the interface of the plate body 10 in the up and down direction to connect the liquid storage tank 20 with the refrigerant flow channel, and the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet are directly connected to the first interface and the second interface, which can avoid the need to set up complex connecting pipelines and facilitate the rapid transmission of refrigerant. The refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet are arranged on the bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 20, which can facilitate the refrigerant to flow out of the refrigerant outlet, and after the liquid storage tank 20 is assembled, the center of gravity of the refrigerant side component 100 can be lowered, which is conducive to improving the structural stability of the refrigerant side component 100.

[0048] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the plate body 10 is provided with a mounting boss 130, the mounting boss 130 protrudes from the upper surface of the plate body 10, the first interface and the second interface are provided on the mounting boss 130, and the liquid storage tank 20 is docked with the mounting boss 130. In other words, when the liquid storage tank 20 is connected to the plate body 10, it can cooperate with the mounting boss 130, so as to facilitate the positioning of the installation position of the liquid storage tank 20, and the mounting boss 130 can provide installation, improve the flatness of the assembly, and improve the assembly effect.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the liquid storage tank 20 is connected to the plate body 10 by screws, which can further improve the stability of the liquid storage tank 20 and the plate body 10 after assembly. Figure 3 , a plurality of screws 30 may be arranged at intervals to connect the liquid storage tank 20 and the plate body 10 .

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant side assembly 100 further includes: a clamp 40 and a connector 50, wherein the clamp 40 covers the liquid storage tank 20; one end of the connector 50 is connected to the clamp 40, and the other end is connected to the plate body 10. Specifically, the clamp 40 is arranged along the periphery of the liquid storage tank 20, and the connector 50 is connected between the clamp 40 and the plate body 10, which can further improve the connection tightness and stability between the liquid storage tank 20 and the plate body 10. When the liquid storage tank 20 is subjected to circumferential force, the connector 50 can play a supporting effect in the circumferential direction of the liquid storage tank 20 and facilitate the dispersion of force. Specifically, the liquid storage tank 20 is generally a cylinder with a certain height. Combined with the above, the bottom of the liquid storage tank 20 is connected to the plate body 10. In order to further improve the structural stability, the clamp 40 can cover the middle area of ​​the liquid storage tank 20 along the up and down directions, so that the middle position of the liquid storage tank 20 can be connected to the plate body 10 by setting the clamp 40 and the connecting piece 50, thereby improving the stability of the liquid storage tank 20 after assembly.

[0051] The thermal management integrated device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises: a water side component 12 and the aforementioned refrigerant side component 100. By arranging the aforementioned refrigerant side component 100 on the thermal management integrated device 1000, the structural compactness of the device can be improved, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of spatial layout.

In other words, the thermal management integrated device 1000 can integrate the refrigerant side component 100, the water side component 12 and the water heater 13 together, which can facilitate the connection of the water heater 13 with the water side component 12, and the connection of the water side component 12 with the refrigerant side component 100, which is conducive to simplifying the connecting pipelines, improving the compactness of the structure, and facilitating the arrangement in the vehicle and the maintenance of the thermal management integrated device 1000.

[0053] Furthermore, the thermal management integrated device 1000 further includes a support assembly 14, wherein the refrigerant side assembly 100 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 100 and the water heater 13, so that the refrigerant side assembly 100, 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 device 1000.

[0054] According to the thermal management integrated device 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, by connecting the refrigerant side component 100 and the water heater 13 on the support component 14, and the refrigerant side component 100 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 100, 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 device 1000.

[0055] In actual application, when the thermal management integrated device 1000 is applied in a vehicle, the water side component 12 can use water to exchange heat with components in the vehicle, so as to improve the heat exchange effect and be environmentally friendly. The water side component 12 is connected to the refrigerant side component 100, and can use the refrigerant phase change heat to exchange heat with the water side component 12, thereby achieving a temperature regulation effect. During assembly, the refrigerant side component 100 is connected to the support component 14, which can facilitate the positioning of the refrigerant side component 100, and the support component 14 can improve the structural stability. In addition, the water heater 13 is connected to the water side component 12, which can facilitate the heating of water, shorten the distance between the water heater 13 and the water side component 12, and simplify the connection structure. The water heater 13 can be directly installed on the support component 14, so that the water heater 13 can be integrated into the thermal management integrated device 1000, and it is easy to assemble and improve the structural performance.

[0056] Optionally, the water heater 13 may not be connected to the support assembly 14 , but may be directly connected to the refrigerant side assembly 100 or the water side assembly 12 .

[0057] Furthermore, combined with Figure 4 The water side component 12 includes a kettle 121 and a water plate 122. The water plate 122 is provided with a water flow channel. The kettle 121 and the water heater 13 can be connected to the water flow channel. The water flow channel is connected to the kettle 121 to form a water circuit. The refrigerant side component 100 includes a plate body 10 and a heat exchanger. The plate body 10 is provided with a refrigerant flow channel. The refrigerant flow channel is connected to the heat exchanger to form a refrigerant circuit, wherein the refrigerant circuit is connected to the water circuit for heat exchange, thereby achieving temperature control of the vehicle. For example, the water circuit can transfer heat with the functional components inside the vehicle so that the functional components are within a suitable temperature range. 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 its original temperature and continue to transfer heat with the functional components, thereby achieving temperature control of the vehicle.

[0058] Among them, the water 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.

[0059] In some examples of the present invention, the kettle 121 includes a first cavity and a second cavity, a receiving space is provided between the first cavity and the second cavity, and a liquid level sensor is provided in the receiving space for detecting the liquid level. Specifically, by providing a receiving space for placing the liquid level sensor, the sensor can detect the liquids in the two cavities at the same time, and the water levels in the two cavities can be detected by the liquid level sensors in the receiving space, which is conducive to simplifying the structure, and the detection positions are the same, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0060] Combination Figure 4 , the water side component 12 includes two or more components of a kettle 121, a water plate 122, a water valve component 126, a water pump, a heat exchange device and a first sensor. Specifically, the kettle 121 component is located at the upper part, the water plate 122 is located at the bottom of the kettle 121, and the water plate 122 is relatively fixed or sealed to the bottom plate of the kettle 121, wherein the water plate 122 is located at the lower part of the kettle 121 to save the most space, and can also be staggered and placed on the side. The water valve component 126, the water pump and the water plate 122 are relatively fixed or sealed to each other. Preferably, the water valve component 126 and the kettle 121 are relatively located on both sides of the water plate 122 to save space, and can also be arranged on the same side when necessary. The position of the water pump is also the same, preferably on the same side as the water valve, but not limited to the same side. Furthermore, the heat exchange device is relatively fixed or sealed to the water plate 122, which can ensure that the water side flow channel in the heat exchange device can be connected to the flow channel of the water side component 12. The entire water circuit is composed of the kettle 121, water plate 122, water valve assembly 126, water pump, heat exchange device and other thermal management components of the vehicle.

[0061] Furthermore, combined with Figure 4 The thermal management integrated device 1000 also includes a wiring harness assembly 15, which includes a main circuit 151 and multiple branch circuits 152. The multiple branch circuits 152 are all gathered on the main circuit 151. The multiple branch circuits 152 are respectively connected to the water side assembly 12 and the refrigerant side assembly 100, and the main circuit 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 connecting each connector, and finally converges to a unified connector connected to the integrated controller to facilitate the management of the wiring harness and improve the control effect. Specifically, the wiring harness assembly 15 is connected to the charged components in the aforementioned components, that is, the wiring harness assembly 15 is connected to the charged components in the support assembly 14, the refrigerant side assembly 11, the water side assembly 12 and the water heater 13, and is fixedly installed in multiple or all of the above components.
