[0040] Before this application was filed, the existing thermal management integrated module refrigerant circuit usually required an aluminum flow plate or valve plate as a basis, and the compressor, plate-type evaporator, liquid-cooled condenser and other components were installed on the aluminum flow plate or valve plate, and the components were connected by pipes. However, when the existing thermal management integrated module is actually arranged, the integrated module design is large in size, which is not conducive to the layout of the whole vehicle, and the installation is complicated and the risk of leakage is high.
[0041] In view of this, the first aspect of the present application provides a thermal management integrated module, thereby solving the above technical problems existing in the existing thermal management integrated module. Figures 1 to 8 The thermal management integrated module according to some embodiments of the present application is described.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the thermal management integrated module of the present application includes a compressor 100, a liquid-cooled condenser 200 and a plate evaporator 300. The compressor 100 includes an air intake cover 120 and an air discharge cover 110 opposite to each other in a first direction (see Figure 6), the air intake cover 120 is provided with an air intake port, and the air exhaust cover 110 is provided with an air exhaust port. The liquid-cooled condenser 200 includes a condenser plate body 210, which includes a plurality of condenser plates arranged along a first direction; an air inlet is provided at the first end of the condenser plate body 210 facing the compressor 100, and the first end of the condenser plate body 210 contacts the exhaust cover 110 of the compressor 100, so that the air inlet of the condenser plate body 210 is directly connected to the exhaust port of the exhaust cover 110; the plate evaporator 300 includes an evaporator plate body 310, which includes a plurality of evaporator plates arranged along a first direction; an air outlet is provided at the first end of the evaporator plate body 310 facing the compressor 100, and the first end of the evaporator plate body 310 contacts the intake cover 120 of the compressor 100, so that the air outlet of the evaporator plate body 310 is directly connected to the intake port of the intake cover 120.
[0043] The thermal management integrated module of the present application adopts a straight-tube design, and the liquid-cooled condenser 200 and the plate-type evaporator 300 are directly connected to the left and right end covers of the compressor 100, and there is no gap between the three, and no separate physical pipeline or pipeline flow plate connection is required, which reduces the outer envelope size of the product and makes the overall structure compact. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of system leakage and improves the ease of assembly and the convenience of subsequent maintenance.
[0044] That is to say, compared with traditional integrated module solutions, the thermal management integrated module of the present application greatly reduces the number of parts, reduces the integrated module space, saves materials, shortens the assembly and installation time, improves production efficiency overall, and also reduces the risk of refrigerant leakage.
[0045] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the compressor 100, the liquid-cooled condenser 200 and the plate-type evaporator 300 are all cylindrical; when viewed along the first direction, the compressor 100 can cover the liquid-cooled condenser 200 and the plate-type evaporator 300. In other words, the cross-sectional areas of the liquid-cooled condenser 200 and the plate-type evaporator 300 are smaller than the cross-sectional areas of the compressor exhaust cover 110 and the air intake cover 120. Such a configuration can not only further reduce the outer envelope size of the product, but also facilitate the subsequent assembly of pipelines and parts.
[0046] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the thermal management integrated module also includes a stop valve 400, a liquid storage tank 500 and a first electronic expansion valve 600. The stop valve 400 is integrated into the outer side of the condenser plate body 210, the liquid storage tank 500 is integrated into the outer side of the compressor 100, and the first electronic expansion valve 600 is integrated into the outer side of the evaporator plate body 310; the outer side of the condenser plate body 210 is provided with a liquid outlet, and the outer side of the evaporator plate body 310 is provided with a liquid inlet; the liquid outlet of the condenser plate body 210 is directly connected to the inlet of the stop valve 400, the outlet of the stop valve 400 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 500, the outlet of the liquid storage tank 500 is connected to the inlet of the first electronic expansion valve 600, and the outlet of the first electronic expansion valve 600 is directly connected to the liquid inlet of the evaporator plate body 310.
[0047] It should be noted here that the stop valve 400 of the present application can be directly integrated into the outer side of the condenser plate body 210 (multiple condenser plates); or the liquid-cooled condenser 200 includes the condenser plate body 210 (multiple condenser plates) and a condenser shell sleeved outside the condenser plate body 210, and the stop valve 400 is integrated into the outer side of the condenser shell. Similarly, the first electronic expansion valve 600 of the present application can be directly integrated into the outer side of the evaporator plate body 310 (multiple evaporator plates); or the plate evaporator 300 includes the evaporator plate body 310 (multiple evaporator plates) and an evaporator shell sleeved outside the evaporator plate body 310, and the first electronic expansion valve 600 is integrated into the outer side of the evaporator shell.
[0048] Preferably, in the embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the thermal management integrated module also includes a first pipeline 10 and a second pipeline 20. The outlet of the stop valve 400 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage tank 500 through the first pipeline 10; the outlet of the liquid storage tank 500 is connected to the inlet of the first electronic expansion valve 600 through the second pipeline 20; the first pipeline 10 and the second pipeline 20 are in contact with or share the side wall of the compressor 100. In this way, there will be no gap between the stop valve 400, the liquid storage tank 500, the first electronic expansion valve 600, the first pipeline 10 and the second pipeline 20, and the compressor 100, the liquid-cooled condenser 200 and the plate evaporator 300, thereby further reducing the outer envelope size of the product and making the overall structure more compact.
[0049] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the condenser plate body 210 forms a concave first avoidance portion 211, and the stop valve 400 is disposed in the first avoidance portion 211; Figure 3As shown, the evaporator plate body 310 forms a concave second avoidance portion 311, and the first electronic expansion valve 600 is disposed in the second avoidance portion 311. In this way, the concave outer sides of the condenser plate body 210 and the evaporator plate body 310 form a saved space just for the installation of external components, thereby further reducing the size of the thermal management integrated module.
[0050] The plate heat exchanger of the present application mainly adopts a special-shaped plate design, which directly breaks the traditional plate heat exchanger design and is more flexible than a conventional square plate single plate to meet the problem of insufficient space for integrated modules in the vehicle space. In addition, when the liquid-cooled condenser 200 includes a condenser shell, the condenser shell can be designed according to the special-shaped plate. Similarly, when the plate evaporator 300 includes an evaporator shell, the evaporator shell can be designed according to the special-shaped plate.
[0051] As described above, the thermal management integrated module of the present application can be applicable to the R290 refrigerant circuit, and can be applicable to the R134A refrigerant circuit when the second electronic expansion valve 900 is installed. Figure 8 This is the system principle architecture diagram of the present application. The thermal management integrated module includes an electric compressor 100, a plate evaporator 300, a liquid-cooled condenser, a liquid storage tank 500, a first electronic expansion valve 600, a second electronic expansion valve 900, a stop valve 400 and a sensor. The first pressure and temperature sensor 700 (high-pressure pressure and temperature sensor) is arranged at the exhaust port of the compressor 100, and the refrigerant is divided into two paths after passing through the high-pressure pressure and temperature sensor. Circuit 1: The refrigerant enters the suction port of the compressor 100 after passing through the second electronic expansion valve 900. Circuit 2: The refrigerant passes through the liquid-cooled condenser 200, then enters the stop valve 400, enters the liquid storage tank 500 after passing through the stop valve 400, and enters the plate evaporator 300 after coming out of the liquid storage tank 500 through the first electronic expansion valve 600, and then merges with circuit 1 at the position of the low-pressure pressure and temperature sensor (second pressure and temperature sensor 800), and enters the compressor 100.
[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 6As shown, the thermal management integrated module also includes a second electronic expansion valve 900, a first air inlet pipe 40, a first air outlet pipe 50, a second air outlet pipe 60, a second air inlet pipe 70 and a third pipeline 30. Among them, one end of the first air inlet pipe 40 is connected to the exhaust port of the exhaust cover 110, and the other end is connected to the condenser plate body 210; one end of the first air outlet pipe 50 is connected to the first air inlet pipe 40, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the third pipeline 30. Among them, the condenser plate body 210 is arranged to avoid the first air inlet pipe 40 and the first air outlet pipe 50. One end of the second air outlet pipe 60 is connected to the air intake port of the air intake cover 120, and the other end is connected to the evaporator plate body 310; one end of the second air inlet pipe 70 is connected to the second air outlet pipe 60, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the second electronic expansion valve 900; the outlet of the third pipeline 30 is connected to the inlet of the second electronic expansion valve 900. The evaporator plate body 310 is arranged to avoid the second air inlet pipe 70 and the second air outlet pipe 60 .
[0053] As described above, the first air inlet pipe 40 and the first air outlet pipe 50 are directly integrated with the exhaust cover 110 of the compressor 100 without physical pipelines, which reduces the volume of the product, reduces the risk of system leakage, and saves materials. In addition, the first air inlet pipe 40 and the first air outlet pipe 50 will not exceed the outer envelope of the condenser plate body 210. Similarly, the second air outlet pipe 60 and the second air inlet pipe 70 are directly integrated with the air intake cover 120 of the compressor 100 without physical pipelines, which reduces the volume of the product, reduces the risk of system leakage, and saves materials. In addition, the second air outlet pipe 60 and the second air inlet pipe 70 will not exceed the outer envelope of the evaporator plate body 310.
[0054] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the second electronic expansion valve 900 is integrated into the outer side of the evaporator plate body 310; the evaporator plate body 310 forms a recessed third avoidance portion 312, and the second electronic expansion valve 900 is arranged in the third avoidance portion 312; in this way, the saved space formed by the recess on the outer side of the evaporator plate body 310 is just enough for the installation of the second electronic expansion valve 900, thereby further compressing the size of the thermal management integrated module.
[0055] Furthermore, the third pipeline 30 contacts or shares a wall with the side wall of the compressor 100. In this way, there is no gap between the third pipeline 30 and the compressor 100, thereby further reducing the outer envelope size of the product and making the overall structure more compact.
[0056] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the condenser plate body 210 forms a concave fourth avoidance portion 212, and the first pressure and temperature sensor 700 is disposed in the fourth avoidance portion 212 to detect data information in the first intake pipe 40; Figure 4As shown, the evaporator plate body 310 forms a concave fifth avoidance portion 313 , and the second pressure and temperature sensor 800 is disposed in the fifth avoidance portion 313 to detect data information in the second air outlet pipe 60 .
[0057] Similarly, the saved space formed by the depressions on the outside of the evaporator plate body 310 and the condenser plate body 210 is just enough for the installation of the first pressure-temperature sensor 700 and the second pressure-temperature sensor 800, thereby further compressing the size of the thermal management integrated module. Similarly, the plate heat exchanger of the present application mainly adopts a special-shaped plate design, which directly breaks the traditional plate heat exchanger design and is more flexible than conventional square plate single plates to meet the problem of insufficient space for the integrated module in the vehicle. Similarly, when the liquid-cooled condenser 200 includes a condenser housing, the condenser housing can be designed in the shape of the special-shaped plate. Similarly, when the plate evaporator 300 includes an evaporator housing, the evaporator housing can be designed in the shape of the special-shaped plate.
[0058] In summary, the highly integrated module of this application is characterized by high integration, no need for separate physical pipeline connections, reducing the outer envelope size of the product, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of system leakage, saving materials. This application integrates the plate heat exchanger and pipelines on the cover of the electric compressor, reducing pipeline installation, reducing costs, and reducing the risk of system leakage. The plate heat exchanger plate adopts a special-shaped plate design to make the integrated module volume as small as possible to meet the customer's small vehicle space requirements.
[0059] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, it is worth mentioning that Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first end of the condenser plate body 210 is directly welded to the exhaust cover 110 of the compressor 100, or the condenser plate body 210 is integrally formed with the exhaust cover 110 of the compressor 100. Similarly, the first end of the evaporator plate body 310 is directly welded to the suction cover 120 of the compressor 100, or the evaporator plate body 310 is integrally formed with the suction cover 120 of the compressor 100.
[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, the thermal management integrated module of the present application mainly includes three parts, namely Figure 7 Part A, Part B and Part C in the figure. Part A integrates the plate evaporator 300 and a part of the compressor 100 (including the air intake cover 120), and Part C integrates the liquid-cooled condenser 200 and the exhaust cover 110 of the compressor 100. In addition, the components and pipelines arranged on the outer sides of the liquid-cooled condenser 200, the plate evaporator 300 and the compressor 100 are correspondingly integrated on the liquid-cooled condenser 200, the plate evaporator 300 and the compressor 100. During assembly, Part A, Part B and Part C are connected by long bolts 80.
