Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, technological innovation and application are constantly driving the progress of the entire industry. As one of the key technologies to ensure automobile safety, improve driving experience, and achieve energy conservation and environmental protection, the importance of automotive thermal management is becoming increasingly prominent. In recent years, the automotive thermal management integrated module has been widely used and developed in the automotive thermal management industry due to its high efficiency, integration, and intelligence, and has become an important force in promoting the innovation of automotive thermal management technology.

[0003] Current thermal management integrated modules, such as the thermal management integrated module disclosed in patent publication number CN218489449U and the automotive thermal management system and vehicle disclosed in patent publication number CN219406087U, can all be used to manage the thermal performance of an automobile.

[0004] However, during use, it was found that the manifold body and the manifold connection port of the thermal management integrated module on the market are one-time injection-molded products. Due to unstable process of different batches of injection molding, serious solder accumulation in the manifold leads to increased flow resistance, making it difficult for the module to operate normally. In addition, due to fluctuations in flatness, the compression between the manifolds is reduced, which eventually leads to module leakage. The entire manifold needs to be replaced during maintenance, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0008] Preferably, an annular sealing groove is provided on the end surface of the manifold body opposite to the manifold connection port, so as to facilitate the binding of the seal so that the seal can seal the gap between the manifold body and the manifold connection port, thereby improving the sealing effect of the water manifold structure.

[0009] Preferably, the sealing member comprises a sealing ring; by embedding the sealing ring into the annular sealing groove on the manifold body, the sealing ring seals the gap between the manifold body and the manifold connecting port, thereby improving the sealing effect of the water manifold structure.

[0010] Preferably, the manifold body and the manifold connecting port are both provided with a plurality of groups of protrusion structures, and each of the plurality of groups of protrusion structures is provided with a group of threaded holes; the bolts are passed through the threaded holes on the manifold connecting port and then extended into the threaded holes on the manifold body, and then the bolts are threadedly connected to the threaded holes on the manifold body by rotating the bolts, and the manifold body and the manifold connecting port are connected together. The provision of the protrusion structures facilitates the installation and disassembly of the plurality of groups of bolts by the staff, thereby improving the convenience of the water manifold structure.

[0011] Preferably, the inner diameters of the manifold body and the manifold connection port at the docking position are the same, thereby reducing flow resistance and improving drainage effect.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing ring is coated with lubricating oil, thereby improving the convenience of installing the sealing ring and improving the sealing effect of the sealing ring through the lubricating oil.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. Bolt fixing can make the manifold look beautiful and have better flatness, and reduce welding, which can reduce solder accumulation and internal welding impurities, thereby reducing the flow resistance in the manifold and making the thermal management integrated module operate efficiently;
