[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, a thermal management integrated module 100 is provided for use in an automobile 1000, which includes an integrated water tank 110, a battery water pump 120, a heater water pump 130 and a heat exchanger 140; wherein the integrated water tank 110 includes a tank cover 112, a battery auxiliary water tank 114 and a motor auxiliary water tank 116, the tank cover 112 is arranged on one of the battery auxiliary water tank 114 and the motor auxiliary water tank 116, the battery auxiliary water tank 114 is connected to the motor auxiliary water tank 116, and the battery auxiliary water tank 114, the battery water pump 120, the heat exchanger 140 and the heater water pump 130 are connected in sequence.

[0045] During operation, the integrated water tank 110 integrates the interconnected battery auxiliary water tank 114 and the motor auxiliary water tank 116, and only needs to open the tank cover 112 to add water, so as to supply water to other components. The battery water pump 120 and the heater water pump 130 are used to pump water, and the heat exchanger 140 is used to perform heat exchange operations on the pumped water. The thermal management integrated module 100 can integrate the components related to thermal management, thereby reducing the number of components, simplifying the assembly process, reducing the difficulty of down-configuration, and thus improving the assembly efficiency.

[0046] refer to Figure 3 Because the battery auxiliary water tank 114 and the motor auxiliary water tank 116 will cause a certain temperature difference in the water under different working conditions, and in order to avoid the temperature interference of the two auxiliary water tanks due to the connection design between the two, the integrated water tank 110 can include an insulating rib 118, and the insulating rib 118 is located between the battery auxiliary water tank 114 and the motor auxiliary water tank 116. A water port 119 is opened on the insulating rib 118, and the water port 119 is used to connect the battery auxiliary water tank 114 and the motor auxiliary water tank 116.

[0047] Moreover, in terms of the flow path of the water in the two auxiliary water tanks, the position of the water outlet 119 is also relatively located at the starting end of the water in the two auxiliary water tanks, so that the water has a sufficient flow path from entering the water tank to flowing out of the water tank, and it can avoid increasing the flow resistance to the flowing water during the water exchange between the two auxiliary water tanks.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 The battery auxiliary water tank 114 includes a first cavity 1141, a second cavity 1142, a third cavity 1143 and a fourth cavity 1144 which are arranged in sequence. The first cavity 1141 is provided with a water inlet 1145, and the tank cover 112 is provided on the water inlet 1145. The fourth cavity 1144 is provided with a first water replenishment port 1146, and the water passage 119 is connected to the end of the first cavity 1141 away from the second cavity 1142; the motor auxiliary water tank 116 includes a fifth cavity 1161, a sixth cavity 1162, a seventh cavity 1163 and an eighth cavity 1164 which are arranged in sequence. The eighth cavity 1164 is provided with a second water replenishment port 1166, and the water passage 119 is connected to the fifth cavity 1161.

[0049] During operation, the water first enters the first cavity 1141 through the water inlet 1145, and then a part of it enters the motor auxiliary water tank 116 through the water port 119, and the other part flows toward the second cavity 1142, and flows through the third cavity 1143 and the fourth cavity 1144, and then flows out from the first water replenishment port 1146. When the water enters the motor auxiliary water tank 116, it flows from the fifth cavity 1161 to the sixth cavity 1162, the seventh cavity 1163 and the eighth cavity 1164 in sequence, and then flows out from the second water replenishment port 1166.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the direction in which the water flows from the first cavity 1141 to the second cavity 1142 is opposite to the direction in which the water flows from the first cavity 1141 into the water port 119, and the direction in which the water flows from the fifth cavity 1161 to the sixth cavity 1162 is set at an angle to the direction in which the water enters the fifth cavity 1161 from the water port 119; and the flow path of the water in the battery auxiliary water tank 114 is approximately C-shaped, and the flow path of the water in the motor auxiliary water tank 116 is approximately U-shaped. By limiting the inconsistency of the starting flow directions of the water in the two auxiliary cavities and the difference in the flow paths, the heat conduction phenomenon between the two auxiliary water tanks can be reduced.

[0051] refer to Figure 3 , the volume of the first cavity 1141 is greater than the volume of the fourth cavity 1144, and the volume of the fourth cavity 1144 is greater than the volumes of the second cavity 1142 and the third cavity 1143; when the water flows in the battery auxiliary water tank 114, the cavity it flows through has a structure with large ends and small middle. On the one hand, it is convenient for the water to have enough residence time when entering the first cavity 1141, so that part of the water can be diverted through the water port 119 and enter the motor auxiliary water tank 116; on the other hand, it can speed up the intermediate rate of the water flowing from the first cavity 1141 to the fourth cavity 1144, thereby ensuring the flow efficiency of the water.

[0052] Furthermore, the first cavity 1141 is provided with an exhaust port 1148. When there is air in the pipeline, it will have a negative impact on the operation of the water pump and the heat exchange efficiency. When the air pressure reaches a certain level, it will be released from the exhaust port 1148. And because air will flow with the water, the inner cavity of the battery auxiliary water tank 114 is designed to be four cavities with a sufficiently long path, and the middle cavity is smaller, thereby preventing air from flowing with the water toward the first water replenishment port 1146.

[0053] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 The heat exchanger 140 includes a cooling heat exchanger 142 and a heating heat exchanger 144. The cooling heat exchanger 142 and the heating heat exchanger 144 are both connected to the outside of the integrated water tank 110. The input end of the cooling heat exchanger 142 is connected to the battery water pump 120, and the output end of the cooling heat exchanger 142 is connected to the input end of the heating heat exchanger 144. The output end of the heating heat exchanger 144 is connected to the heater water pump 130, the battery system 600 and the battery auxiliary water tank 114.

[0054] It should be noted that the cooling heat exchanger 142 and the heating heat exchanger 144 may be directly connected to the outer wall of the integrated water tank 110 , or may be indirectly connected to the outer wall of the integrated water tank 110 through other components (eg, the integrated flow channel plate assembly 170 ).

[0055] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 The thermal management integrated module 100 further includes a four-way control valve 150 and an electronic expansion valve 155. The four-way control valve 150 is connected between the heating heat exchanger 144 and the warm air water pump 130. The output end of the electronic expansion valve 155 is connected to the input end of the cooling heat exchanger 142.

[0056] Among them, the motor auxiliary water tank 116 is connected to the input end of the motor water pump 300 through the first interface 191, the four-way control valve 150 is connected to the input end of the extended-range loop system 500 through the second interface 192, the four-way control valve 150 is connected to the output end of the warm air heating system 450 through the sixth interface 196, the warm air water pump 130 is connected to the heater 400 through the third interface 193, the battery water pump 120 is connected to the output end of the battery system 600 through the fourth interface 194, the heating heat exchanger 144 is connected to the input end of the battery system 600 through the fifth interface 195, the heating heat exchanger 144 is connected to the output end of the heater 400 through the seventh interface 197, the electronic expansion valve 155 is connected to the output end of the air-conditioning and refrigeration system 700 through the eighth interface 198, and the cooling heat exchanger 142 is connected to the input end of the air-conditioning and refrigeration system 700 through the ninth interface 199.

[0057] refer to Figure 4-Figure 7 , the thermal management integrated module 100 also includes an integrated flow channel plate assembly 170, which includes an upper cover 171, an intermediate plate 172 and a lower plate 173 arranged in sequence, the intermediate plate 172 is connected to the lower plate 173 to form a plurality of flow channels, and the upper cover 171, the intermediate plate 172 and the lower plate 173 are all installed on the outside of the integrated water tank 110. During assembly, the difficulty of mold opening and molding of the integrated flow channel plate assembly 170 can be reduced through the split design structure. By integrating multiple flow channels, not only the flow path of the water is shortened, but also the flow resistance is reduced, making the water replenishment operation of each component smoother, thereby improving the operating performance of the overall system.

[0058] Specifically, the lower plate 173 is formed with a first flow channel 175 , a second flow channel 176 , a third flow channel 177 , a fourth flow channel 178 , a fifth flow channel 179 , a sixth flow channel 180 , a seventh flow channel 181 , an eighth flow channel 182 , a ninth flow channel 183 , and a tenth flow channel 184 ;

[0061] The integrated flow channel plate assembly 170 limits the layout position, connecting interfaces and mutual relationships of each flow channel, so that ten flow channels can be reasonably arranged on the plate surface. On the premise of reducing the flow channel path, the flow resistance in the flow channel is reduced as much as possible, which reduces the heat loss during the flow of water and improves the flow efficiency of the water. It can also separate water with large temperature differences, reduce the possible heat transfer phenomenon when the water flows in the flow channel, and then carry out targeted water replenishment operations on different components, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.
