Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a plate heat exchanger with a liquid storage function. Background Art

[0002] The energy source of new energy vehicles, especially electric vehicles, is their battery system. The energy of the battery is not only used to overcome the rolling resistance generated by the tires when the vehicle is driving, the air resistance generated by the body and the air, but also to take into account the climate control of the passenger compartment and the thermal management of the on-board electronic components. If the climate control of the passenger compartment and the thermal management of the electronic components consume too much energy, it will affect the vehicle's cruising range. In order to better utilize the battery energy, coupling the energy of different circulation systems is one of the feasible technical solutions. For example, for the energy exchange between the coolant system and the refrigerant system, the refrigerant can reduce the coolant temperature to the required temperature and cool the battery, or introduce the coolant into the in-vehicle air conditioning system to cool the passenger compartment; or through the heat pump system of the refrigeration cycle, absorb energy from the coolant system, make full use of the waste heat of electronic components, and indirectly reduce battery energy consumption. In order to realize the interactive utilization of energy of these different systems, the application of plate heat exchanger products is indispensable.

[0003] Based on environmental regulations and environmental protection requirements, the research and development and application of new alternative refrigerant heat pump air conditioning systems have been put on the agenda. Some environmentally friendly refrigerants, such as R290, need to strictly control their charge volume due to their flammable and explosive properties. The indirect heat exchange system using a plate heat exchanger, combined with an integrated module structure, can make the structure of the refrigerant system more compact, effectively control the internal volume of the system, and thus control the charge volume.

[0004] Current plate heat exchanger products, including integrated modular products, generally use a separate liquid storage structure, which is connected to other parts of the system or integrated module through inlets and outlets, and generally requires a separate installation interface and sealing interface. For example, in patent CN 215705552 U, there is a separate liquid storage module. In patent CN 217347413 U, there is a separate liquid storage tank. In patent CN 220785393 U, there is a separate liquid storage tank. In patent CN 221437678 U, there is a liquid storage dryer brazed with the plate heat exchanger.

[0005] Independent liquid storage devices need to be assembled and sealed with other parts of the system, and these installation and sealing interfaces are subject to leakage risks. Some designs use pipes to connect the inlet and outlet of the liquid storage device with other parts of the system. These pipes will increase the resistance of the refrigerant in the system, which will have a negative impact on the energy efficiency of the system under different operating conditions.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a plate heat exchanger with a liquid storage function for the plate heat exchanger products in the heat pump air-conditioning system of new energy vehicles, which does not require an additional external refrigerant storage area, avoids connection through external pipelines, reduces the installation of sealing interfaces, and reduces the risk of internal refrigerant medium leakage.

[0058] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0060] Plate heat exchangers are generally arranged horizontally or vertically on a vehicle. The horizontal arrangement here refers specifically to the direction of the medium flow in the plate heat exchanger when the vehicle is stationary in a horizontal position, which is parallel to the horizontal plane. The vertical arrangement here refers specifically to the direction of the medium flow in the plate heat exchanger when the vehicle is stationary in a horizontal position, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. This application first describes a vertically arranged plate heat exchanger 100 as an example.

[0061] The second refrigerant storage area 122 of the plate heat exchanger 100 includes a liquid storage structure frame 110. The inlet and outlet of the refrigerant flow channel inside the liquid storage structure frame 110 are respectively located at the lower left and upper right of the liquid storage structure frame 110. The liquid storage structure frame 110 is provided with a lifting device and a drying device.

[0062] A first opening 1011 is provided on the refrigerant inlet pressure plate 101, and the opening 1011 is connected to the refrigerant flow channel in the first part main heat exchange zone 121; a second opening 1021 is provided on the refrigerant outlet pressure plate 102, and an inner jump pipe 108 is installed on the inner wall of the second opening 1021, and the inner jump pipe 108 passes through the first part main heat exchange zone 121, the second part refrigerant liquid storage zone 122 and is connected to the refrigerant flow channel in the third part subcooling heat exchange zone 123.

[0063] A special plate 109 is provided at the connection interface between the second refrigerant liquid storage area 122 and the third subcooling heat exchange area 123. The special plate 109 is provided with a flange opening 1091, and the flange opening 1091 cooperates with the outer wall surface of the inner jump tube 108 to form a sealing contact surface.

A vertical straw 1059 is inserted into the straw slot 1058, and the other end of the straw 1059 extends to the bottom of the liquid storage structure frame 110. The function of the straw 1059 is to absorb the refrigerant and the mixture of the refrigerant and the lubricating oil at the bottom of the liquid storage structure frame 110, so that it passes through the filter 1056 and enters the third part of the subcooling heat exchange area 123 after being filtered. The condenser of the present application is in a refrigeration cycle system, and the compressor in the system provides power to drive the refrigerant to flow in the system. In order to ensure the stable operation of the system and the normal operation of the compressor, it is necessary to ensure that the liquid refrigerant / lubricant mixture flows out of the condenser. The double-layer lip structure 1057 on the filter assembly 1055 plays a sealing role, ensuring that the refrigerant can only pass through the suction pipe 1059 and enter the filter 1056 at the top, and then enter the third part of the subcooling heat exchange area 123.

By installing a suction pipe 1059, it can ensure that the liquid medium at the bottom of the second part of the refrigerant liquid storage area 122 is transferred to the third part of the supercooling heat exchange area 123, and prevent the gaseous refrigerant from entering the third part of the supercooling heat exchange area 123, thereby ensuring the stability of the system operation.

[0071] A detachable filter screen 2012 is installed in the first opening 1011 on the refrigerant inlet pressure plate 101 of the horizontal liquid storage structure frame 210, which can filter the refrigerant medium and block the impurities in the system to prevent them from flowing into other parts of the refrigerant system and affecting the normal operation of the electronic valve components in the system. The filter screen 2012 has a lip structure, which can be interference-fitted with the inner wall of the first opening 1011 of the refrigerant inlet pressure plate 101, and the installation and insertion direction of the filter screen 2012 is consistent with the refrigerant flow direction.

[0072] The drying device of the horizontal liquid storage structure frame 210 includes a drying bag 10511 . A frame structure 2055 for installing the drying bag 10511 is arranged inside the horizontal liquid storage structure frame 210 . The frame structure 2055 is arranged on the top of the horizontal liquid storage structure frame 210 .

[0073] An open hole structure 2102 is provided at the bottom of the horizontal liquid storage structure frame 210 , and the open hole structure 2102 is connected to the refrigerant flow channel in the third partial subcooling heat exchange area 123 .

[0074] An opening 1050 is provided on one side of the horizontal liquid storage structure frame 210 near the opening structure 2102, and a dustproof and waterproof plastic cover 105 is detachably installed on the opening 1050, and a sealing ring 1051 is provided on the outer edge of the connection between the opening 1050 and the plastic cover 105.
