[0021] The present application provides a flow channel plate assembly and a vehicle thermal management assembly including the flow channel plate assembly. In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the flow channel plate assembly provided in the present application at least includes a first sub-portion 101 , a second sub-portion 102 , a pump mounting portion 103 , a pump inlet connecting portion 104 and a pump outlet connecting portion 105 .

[0023] The first sub-portion 101 and the second sub-portion 102 intersect and form a preset angle, and at least part of the pump installation portion 103 is located in the first sub-portion 101. A second flow channel is provided in the second sub-portion 102, and the second flow channel includes an outlet flow channel O. The outlet flow channel O is connected to the pump outlet communication portion 105.

[0024] After the pump is assembled on the pump mounting portion 103 , the pump inlet is communicated with the pump inlet communicating portion 104 , and the pump outlet is communicated with the outflow channel O through the pump outlet communicating portion 105 .

[0025] The extension direction of the outlet flow channel O is consistent with the extension direction of the pump outlet connecting part 105, so that the movement direction of the fluid in the pump outlet connecting part 105 is consistent with the movement direction in the outlet flow channel O, and the movement direction of the fluid remains unchanged when it flows from the pump outlet connecting part 105 into the outlet flow channel O.

[0026] Since the extension direction of the outflow channel O is consistent with the extension direction of the pump outlet communication portion 105, the pump outlet communication portion 105 does not need to be connected to the outflow channel O through a bent pipeline, so the flow resistance at the pump outlet is small.

[0027] And like Figure 7 The flow channel plate assembly shown is provided with two layers of flow channel plates 01 stacked on top of each other. The two layers of flow channel plates 01 are roughly perpendicular to the movement direction of the fluid in the pump inlet connecting portion 02. The outflow channels are arranged between the two layers of flow channel plates 01. The pump outlet connecting portion 03 and the outflow channels are located at different levels. Therefore, the extension direction of the outflow channels cannot be set to be consistent with the extension direction of the pump outlet connecting portion 03. Therefore, the pump outlet connecting portion 03 needs to be connected to the outflow channel through a bent pipeline 04. Since the movement direction of the fluid changes when flowing in the bent pipeline 04, it is bound to cause a large flow resistance at the pump outlet. In addition, the setting of the bent pipeline 04 will also increase material consumption and product costs.

[0028] In comparison, the present application eliminates the bent pipeline, thus avoiding the disadvantages of large flow resistance at the pump outlet, high material consumption, and high product cost caused by the bent pipeline.

[0029] In one embodiment, the pump outlet connecting portion 105 is connected to the outlet flow channel O through a straight pipe, and the extending direction of the straight pipe is consistent with the extending direction of the pump outlet connecting portion 105.

[0030] In one embodiment, the pump outlet connecting portion 105 is directly connected to the outlet flow channel O, that is, no pipeline is provided between the outlet flow channel O and the pump outlet connecting portion 105, and the outlet flow channel O directly serves as the outlet pipeline of the pump, so that the overall structure is more compact and is more conducive to reducing material consumption.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first sub-section 101 includes a first plate 1011. The second sub-section 102 includes a second plate 1021 and a second flow channel plate 1022, the second plate 1021 and the second flow channel plate 1022 are stacked, and the outflow channel O is located between the second plate 1021 and the second flow channel plate 1022. The first plate 1011 and the second plate 1021 intersect and form a preset angle.

[0032] The present application does not limit the intersection form of the first plate body 1011 and the second plate body 1021 , for example, it can be a T-shaped intersection as shown in the figure, or a cross-shaped intersection or an L-shaped intersection.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first plate body 1011 and the second plate body 1021 are fixedly connected, and the fixed connection can be achieved by welding, bonding, etc.

[0034] In one embodiment, the first plate body 1011 and the second plate body 1021 are an integral structure, and can be specifically injection molded into an integral structure.

[0035] In one embodiment, a first flow channel is provided in the first sub-section 101 , and the first flow channel includes an inlet flow channel I, and the inlet flow channel I is connected to the pump inlet connecting portion 104 .

[0036] In one embodiment, the first sub-section 101 includes a first flow channel plate 1012 , a first plate body 1011 and the first flow channel plate 1012 are stacked, and the inlet flow channel I is located between the first plate body 1011 and the first flow channel plate 1012 .

[0037] In one embodiment, the direction of the intersection of the first plate 1011 and the second plate 1021 is defined as the first direction, and along the first direction, the projection of the pump mounting portion 103 overlaps with the projection of the second plate 1021. In this design, the pump mounting portion 103 has a reinforcing rib function, which can enhance the structural strength of the connection between the first plate 1011 and the second plate 1021, and ensure that the first plate 1011 and the second plate 1021 are firmly connected.

[0038] In one embodiment, the pump mounting portion 103 includes a pump accommodating chamber A and an annular wall portion 1031 defining the pump accommodating chamber A. The pump inlet communication portion 104 is communicated with one axial end of the pump accommodating chamber A. The pump outlet communication portion 105 is provided on the annular wall portion 1031, and the pump outlet communication portion 105 is communicated with one side of the central axis of the pump accommodating chamber A. Specifically, the pump outlet communication portion 105 may be an opening provided on the annular wall portion 1031 (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 3 ), or a channel with a certain length disposed on the annular wall portion 1031 (such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown).

[0039] In addition, the pump mounting portion 103 further includes a connecting ear portion 1032 , and the connecting ear portion 1032 is located outside the annular wall portion 1031 .

[0040] When the pump is assembled to the pump mounting portion 103 , the pump is at least partially located in the pump accommodating chamber A, the pump inlet and the pump outlet are respectively connected to the pump inlet connecting portion 104 and the pump outlet connecting portion 105 , and the pump is fixedly connected to the connecting ear 1032 via fasteners.

[0041] The pump mounting portion 103 of this structure, after being assembled with the pump, has a small assembly volume and high assembly firmness. Of course, the structure of the pump mounting portion 103 is not limited to this, and any structure that can be used as the installation foundation of the pump is all right.

[0042] In one embodiment, the pump mounting portion 103 is completely located on the first plate body 1011 .

[0043] In one embodiment, a portion of the pump mounting portion 103 is located on the first plate 1011, and another portion (the portion with the pump outlet connecting portion 105) is located on the second plate 1021, and these two portions are fixedly connected or are an integral structure.

[0044] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the annular wall portion 1031 includes a first wall portion 1031a and a second wall portion 1031b, the first wall portion 1031a and the second wall portion 1031b are fixedly connected, the pump outlet communication portion 105 is located between the first wall portion 1031a and the second wall portion 1031b, the first wall portion 1031a is located on the first plate body 1011, the first wall portion 1031a, the first plate body 1011 and the second plate body 1021 are an integrated structure, the second wall portion 1031b is located on the second flow channel plate 1022, and the second flow channel plate 1022 and the second wall portion 1031b are an integrated structure. With this design, the pump outlet communication portion 105 is easily formed.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first plate body 1011 and the second plate body 1021 are an integral structure, the annular wall portion 1031 and the pump outlet connecting portion 105 are an integral structure, the annular wall portion 1031 is fixedly connected to the first plate body 1011, and the pump outlet connecting portion 105 is fixedly connected to the second plate body 1021.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first plate 1011 is perpendicular to the central axis of the annular wall 1031, and the second plate 1021 is parallel to the central axis of the annular wall 1031. The first plate 1011 is perpendicular to the second plate 1021, that is, the angle between the two is 90°.

[0047] In one embodiment, the angle between the first plate body 1011 and the second plate body 1021 is greater than 0° and less than 90°.

[0048] In one embodiment, the movement direction of the fluid in the pump inlet connecting portion 104 is parallel to the central axis of the annular wall portion 1031 , and the movement direction of the fluid in the pump outlet connecting portion 105 is perpendicular to the central axis of the annular wall portion 1031 .

[0049] In one embodiment, the second flow channel plate 200 is stacked on the side of the first plate 1011 away from the pump mounting portion 103. That is, the first flow channel plate 1012 and the pump mounting portion 103 are respectively located on both sides of the first plate 1011. In this way, the first flow channel plate 1012 can be prevented from interfering with the assembly of the pump, and the pump mounting portion 103 can be prevented from interfering with the processing of the flow channel on the first plate 1011.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the second flow channel plate 1022 is stacked on the side of the second plate body 1021 away from the pump mounting portion 103. That is, the second flow channel plate 1022 and the pump mounting portion 103 are respectively located on both sides of the second plate body 1021. In this way, the second flow channel plate 1022 can be prevented from interfering with the assembly of the pump, and the pump mounting portion 103 can also be prevented from interfering with the processing of the flow channel on the second plate body 1021.

[0051] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the second flow channel plate 1022 is stacked on the side of the second plate body 1021 close to the pump mounting portion 103. That is, the second flow channel plate 1022 and the pump mounting portion 103 are located on the same side of the second plate body 1021. In this way, a longer flow channel groove can be processed on the other side of the second plate body 1021, so that the third flow channel plate 1023 can be stacked on this side of the second plate body 1021 to form other flow channels.

[0052] In one embodiment, the outlet O1 of the outlet flow channel O is an external interface for connecting to components other than the flow channel plate, and the components other than the flow channel plate may be the circulation pipeline of the vehicle thermal management component. With this design, the fluid flowing out of the pump outlet directly enters the circulation pipeline of the vehicle thermal management component after flowing through the outlet flow channel O, and no longer changes direction to enter other flow channels, which is more conducive to reducing the fluid flow resistance.

[0053] In one embodiment, the outlet O1 of the outlet flow channel O is an internal interface for internally connecting other flow channels of the flow channel plate assembly except the inlet flow channel I and the outlet flow channel O. With this design, the fluid flowing out of the pump outlet will enter other flow channels of the flow channel plate assembly after flowing through the outlet flow channel O, and may or may not change direction when entering other flow channels of the flow channel plate assembly.

[0054] In addition to the first plate body 1011, the second plate body 1021, the first flow channel plate 1012, the second flow channel plate 1022, and the third flow channel plate 1023, the flow channel plate assembly may further stack other flow channel plates on the first plate body 1011, the second plate body 1021, the first flow channel plate 1012, the second flow channel plate 1022, and the third flow channel plate 1023. In addition, in addition to the pump mounting portion, the flow channel plate assembly may also be provided with a valve mounting portion, a sensor mounting portion, an external interface, etc. The external interface is used to connect to thermal management components such as a water storage tank and a circulation pipeline of the thermal management system.

[0055] In addition to the above-mentioned flow plate assembly, the vehicle thermal management assembly provided in the present application also includes thermal management components installed on and / or externally connected to the flow plate assembly, and the thermal management components include pumps, valves, sensors, water tanks, circulation pipelines, etc.
