Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle thermal management systems, and in particular relates to a novel thermal management system integrated structure. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles, the thermal management system of the whole vehicle is developing in the direction of integration. The current integrated module mainly integrates the refrigerant and water channels with related components. The main integrated components include valves, water cooling and refrigerators. Compared with the previous decentralized layout solution, this integrated improvement has greatly simplified the previous structural design. However, the above solution still faces many problems, the most important of which is that the overall volume is relatively large and the weight is heavy.

[0003] In particular, there are many pipeline connections between the components of the air-conditioning circuit and the cooling circuit, which affects the layout and pipeline cost of the entire vehicle. Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel thermal management system integrated structure. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a new integrated structure of a thermal management system in order to solve the existing problems.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel integrated structure of a thermal management system, comprising a cooling integrated module, the cooling integrated module comprising a water jacket, a compressor integrated module being arranged in the water jacket, the cooling integrated module further comprising a water pump module, a sensor module and / or a valve module, the water pump module, the sensor module and / or the valve module being connected through a cooling channel; The compressor integrated module comprises a chiller, a compressor, a water-cooled condenser and an expansion valve, wherein the chiller, the compressor, the water-cooled condenser and the expansion valve are connected in sequence; The water pump module includes a first water pump and / or a second water pump, the sensor module includes a first sensor, a second sensor and / or a third sensor, and the valve module includes a first water valve, a second water valve and / or a third water valve.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The water pump module further includes at least one backup water pump, and the valve module further includes at least one backup water valve and / or one-way valve.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The water jacket is provided with a cooling channel plate, and the cooling channel plate is provided with a plurality of device installation interfaces for installing a water pump module, a sensor module or a valve module.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: An external interface is provided at the end of the cooling channel, and the external interface is connected to an external circuit.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The external circuit includes a passenger compartment refrigeration circuit, a battery circuit, a motor circuit, a heating circuit or at least one backup circuit.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The first sensor is a water temperature sensor, the second sensor is a liquid level sensor, and the third sensor is a refrigerant leakage sensor.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: A kettle is mounted on one of the device mounting interfaces.

[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Compared with the traditional solution of separating the compressor and the integrated module, the water cooling, chiller and compressor are integrated, and the liquid storage, refrigerant channel, various valves and sensors are integrated with the compressor, which reduces the number of parts and reduces the assembly workload, thereby reducing the cost of the whole machine; 2. Compared with the traditional cooling integrated module solution, the present invention integrates the air conditioning circuit and the coolant circuit, greatly reducing the number of water pipes and the difficulty of layout, thereby reducing the cost of the entire machine; 3. In the present invention, since all refrigerant circuit components are directly installed on the compressor cylinder, the refrigerant circuit and the compressor cylinder are integrated, which greatly reduces the internal volume of the relevant refrigerant circuit system, thereby reducing the refrigerant charge amount of the system; 4. In the present invention, the water valve, water pump, water kettle or sensor are assembled on the cooling channel plate, which reduces the installation base of the water pump, water valve and sensor, and can reduce the assembly workload, weight and cost.

The chiller 101, the compressor 102, the water-cooled condenser 103 and the expansion valve 104 are connected in sequence. The compressor integrated module 100 adopts the reverse Carnot cycle principle. The compressor 102 compresses the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant from the chiller 101 into a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant that enters the water-cooled condenser 103 for cooling. The cooled medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is expanded and then depressurized. In this process, the chiller 101 has a cooling and heat absorbing effect on the coolant, and the water-cooled condenser 103 has a heating and heating effect on the coolant.

[0025] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a water bottle 351 is installed on one of the device mounting interfaces 201, which can be used for liquid storage in the coolant circuit, and the water bottle 351 can be connected to the cooling channel plate or the water jacket 200 for exhaust or liquid replenishment.

[0026] In the present invention, the thermal management integrated module 500 is integrated on the water jacket 200, and the first water pump 311 can pump the low-temperature coolant cooled in the chiller 101 to the passenger compartment refrigeration circuit 401 or the battery circuit 402 or the motor circuit 403 through the first water valve 321 and the second water valve 322, and detect the circuit water temperature through the second sensor 332. The system is replenished with water using a kettle 351 in the circuit to prevent the air inside from affecting the heat exchange performance of the cooling system; The second water pump 312 can send the high-temperature coolant heated in the water-cooled condenser 103 to the battery circuit 402 or the motor circuit 403 through the warm air circuit 404 and the second water valve 322, and then return to the second water pump 312 through the third water valve 323. The circuit temperature can be detected by the first sensor 331.

The coolant of chiller 101 passes through the first water valve 321, bypasses the passenger compartment refrigeration circuit 401, and then flows to the second water valve 322, the motor circuit 403 and the third water valve 323. It flows to the first water pump 311 through the second sensor 332 and then flows back to chiller 101. At the same time, the coolant of the water-cooled condenser 103 passes through the warm air circuit 404, the second water valve 322, the battery circuit 402, the third water valve 323 and the second water pump 312, and then passes through the first sensor 331 to detect the temperature and then returns to the water-cooled condenser 103.
