Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, and more particularly, to a front accessory integration module for new energy vehicles and a vehicle having the same. Background Art

[0002] In the development process of new energy commercial vehicles, "converting from fuel to electricity" has become one of the important strategies for many manufacturers to quickly adapt to market demands. This method usually replaces the traditional internal combustion engine drive system with an electric or hybrid system while retaining the structure of the original fuel vehicle, so as to reduce carbon emissions in the automotive industry and meet the growing demand for electrification. However, this method has revealed some significant limitations and problems in practical applications.

[0003] Firstly, the layout of high-voltage accessories such as high-voltage distribution boxes, components of the electric vehicle thermal management system, and low-voltage accessories such as low-voltage lithium batteries and low-voltage controllers on the chassis often appears chaotic and lacks a reasonable integrated design. This scattered arrangement not only occupies valuable vehicle space, reduces space utilization, but also increases the complexity of the assembly process, raising production costs and assembly time.

[0004] Secondly, during the independent installation of the above various electrical accessories and control systems, the connection lines between them require a long path, resulting in a long wire harness, which not only increases the vehicle weight but also adds failure points, reducing the reliability and efficiency of the system.

[0005] Furthermore, since "converting from fuel to electricity" often involves modifying the original vehicle architecture, the special requirements of new energy vehicles, such as the accessibility and maintenance convenience of key components such as high-voltage distribution boxes and components of the thermal management system, are not fully considered during the design process. This makes the inspection and repair of these components extremely difficult during subsequent use and maintenance, increasing the vehicle's maintenance cost and downtime.

[0006] In response to the above problems, no effective solutions have been proposed yet. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present application is thorough and complete, and the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and thus their descriptions will be omitted.

[0050] Combined with Figures 1 to 9 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a front accessory integration module for a new energy vehicle and a vehicle having the same are provided.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, the integration module includes: a frame structure 10, a high-voltage module, a low-voltage module, and a power module. The frame structure 10 includes a first frame 11 and a second frame 12. The first frame 11 is disposed above the second frame 12, and the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are detachably connected; the high-voltage module is disposed on the first frame 11 and is connected to the first frame 11; the low-voltage module is disposed adjacent to the high-voltage module along the length direction of the first frame 11, and the low-voltage module is connected to the first frame 11; the power module is located below the high-voltage module and is connected to the second frame 12.

[0052] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, a frame structure design with upper and lower layers is adopted to achieve the efficient integration and reasonable layout of the high-voltage, low-voltage, and power modules. The first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are tightly combined through a detachable connection method, which is convenient for the assembly and later maintenance of the integration module. The high-voltage module and the low-voltage module are disposed on the first frame 11, where the high-voltage module is directly connected to the first frame, and the low-voltage module is disposed adjacent to the high-voltage module along the length direction of the first frame 11. This layout significantly improves the space utilization efficiency inside the module and the compactness of electrical connections. The power module is located below the high-voltage module and is tightly connected to the second frame 12. This design not only reduces the length of the wiring harness connecting the modules but also optimizes the center-of-gravity distribution of the module, enhancing the overall stability of the vehicle. The present application solves the problem in the prior art that due to the "converting from fuel to electricity" method, the front accessories are scattered on the chassis, resulting in low space utilization.

[0053] Specifically, as Figure 8As shown in the figure, a first mounting space 111, a second mounting space 112, and a third mounting space 113 are provided on the first frame 11. The first mounting space 111 is adjacent to the second mounting space 112 and the third mounting space 113 along the length direction of the first frame 11. The second mounting space 112 and the third mounting space 113 are adjacent to each other along the width direction of the first frame 11. The first mounting space 111 is used to mount the high-voltage module, and the second mounting space 112 and the third mounting space are used to mount the low-voltage modules. By mounting the high-voltage module and the low-voltage modules in different spaces respectively, that is, the high-voltage module is mounted in the first mounting space 111, while the low-voltage modules are mounted in the second mounting space 112 and the third mounting space 113 respectively, this layout can achieve effective isolation between the high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems, reduce electrical interference, and improve the overall stability and safety of the system. At the same time, arranging different modules along the length and width directions of the frame can make full use of the space of the first frame 11 to achieve a compact and reasonable layout.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, adjacent but independent setting of the high-voltage module and the low-voltage module can effectively manage the wiring harness layout, reduce the length of the wiring harness, and reduce the loss and interference during signal transmission. In addition, by optimizing the wiring harness path, the usage amount of the wiring harness material is reduced, thereby controlling the cost to a certain extent, while reducing the complexity of the wiring harness layout and improving the production and assembly efficiency.

[0055] As Figure 1 shown, the high-voltage module includes: a high-voltage distribution box 1 and a mounting cover 101. The high-voltage distribution box 1 is located in the first mounting space 111, and the high-voltage distribution box 1 is connected to the first frame 11; the mounting cover 101 is arranged above the high-voltage distribution box 1, and the mounting cover 101 is detachably connected to the high-voltage distribution box 1, and a maintenance port 102 is provided on the mounting cover 101.

[0056] The high-voltage distribution box 1 is the core component of the high-voltage electrical system of new energy commercial vehicles. Its function is to manage and distribute the high-voltage electrical energy coming from the power battery to ensure that the electrical energy is safely and effectively transmitted to each high-voltage electrical appliance of the vehicle, such as the motor drive system, the air-conditioning compressor, the DC / DC converter, etc. The high-voltage distribution box 1 is positioned in the first mounting space 111 of the first frame 11. This space is usually located at the rear of the first frame 11 and close to the vehicle center position to reduce the length of the high-voltage wiring harness, thereby reducing the loss during electrical energy transmission. Since the high-voltage distribution box 1 needs to be maintained, the high-voltage distribution box 1 is located on the first frame, and no components are placed above the high-voltage distribution box 1.

[0057] The mounting cover 101 is arranged on the top of the high-voltage distribution box 1. It not only provides physical protection for the high-voltage distribution box 1 to prevent external factors such as moisture and dust from eroding the internal electrical components, but also has electrical insulation characteristics to prevent electric shock accidents during the maintenance or inspection process of operators. The mounting cover 101 and the high-voltage distribution box 1 are detachably connected. This design ensures that when it is necessary to maintain or replace the internal components of the high-voltage distribution box 1, it can be quickly and safely disassembled without disassembling the entire integrated module or other components of the vehicle, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency and convenience. An inspection opening 102 is provided on the mounting cover 101. The inspection opening 102 is usually equipped with a sealing cover or door. When it is necessary to inspect or maintain the high-voltage distribution box 1, the interior can be directly accessed by opening the inspection opening 102 without disassembling the entire mounting cover 101, which further simplifies the maintenance process and reduces the maintenance time and cost.

[0058] Further, the first frame 11 includes: a first frame body 110, a first support plate 114, and a first support assembly. A first installation space 111 is formed along the circumferential direction of the first frame body 110; the first support plate 114 is connected to the first frame body 110; the first support assembly is arranged to be connected to at least one of the first frame body 110 and the first support plate 114. A second installation space 112 and a third installation space 113 are formed between the first support assembly and the first support plate 114, wherein the top of the first support assembly is higher than the top of the first frame body 110.

[0059] Further, the first support assembly includes: first support columns 116 and a reinforcement member 117. The first support columns 116 are connected to at least one of the first frame body 110 and the first support plate 114. There are multiple first support columns 116, and the multiple first support columns 116 are arranged to extend in the vertical direction. A support cross beam is arranged between adjacent two first support columns 116; the reinforcement member 117 is connected to at least one support cross beam. A second installation space 112 is formed among the first support columns 116, the reinforcement member 117, the support cross beam, and the first support plate 114. The second installation space 112 is used for installing the low-voltage lithium battery 2 and the low-voltage distribution box 3. The low-voltage lithium battery 2 is placed on the first support plate 114, the low-voltage distribution box 3 is arranged above the low-voltage lithium battery 2, the low-voltage distribution box 3 is connected to the low-voltage lithium battery 2, and at least part of the low-voltage distribution box 3 protrudes above the top of the first support columns 116.

[0060] The first support columns 116 are connected to the first frame body 110 and the first support plate 114 to form a solid support structure. Adjacent two first support columns 116 are connected by a support cross beam, which not only increases the rigidity of the frame, but also forms a stable space grid to provide reliable support for the upper electrical components.

[0061] The reinforcing member 117 is used to enhance the structural strength of the first support assembly. It is usually connected to the support crossbeam. By using the reinforcing member 117 in conjunction with the support crossbeam, the rigidity and stability of the first support assembly can be further improved, ensuring that the installation structure of the electrical module remains stable even when the vehicle is subjected to road impacts or vibrations during driving, and preventing the electrical components from loosening or being damaged. The setting of the reinforcing member 117 also provides additional support points for the installation of the low-voltage module, helping to disperse the weight of the electrical module, reducing the dependence on a single support structure, and improving the reliability and safety of the entire integrated module.

[0062] The second installation space 112 is an installation area jointly enclosed by the first support column 116, the reinforcing member 117, the support crossbeam, and the first support plate 114. It is specifically used for installing the low-voltage lithium battery 2 and the low-voltage distribution box 3. This design arranges the low-voltage electrical system centrally, facilitating maintenance and inspection. In this embodiment, the low-voltage lithium battery 2 and the low-voltage distribution box 3 are first assembled outside the integrated module and integrated into one unit, and then installed in the second installation space. The low-voltage lithium battery 2 is placed on the first support plate 114, while the low-voltage distribution box 3 is arranged above the low-voltage lithium battery 2. The positive and negative wires of the low-voltage lithium battery 2 are directly connected to the low-voltage distribution box, and the low-voltage distribution box 3 supplies power to the low-voltage electrical appliances of the whole vehicle. This layout makes the connection wire harness between the low-voltage lithium battery 2 and the low-voltage distribution box 3 as short as possible, thereby reducing electrical interference and the weight of the wire harness, and optimizing the overall layout of the electrical system. Considering the low-voltage power distribution and the power supply wires for each low-voltage electrical appliance above, it is necessary to arrange them in a position that is easy for wiring operation. Therefore, the low-voltage lithium battery 2 and the low-voltage distribution box 3 are arranged in the second installation space 112, and the second installation space 112 is located in the middle position of the first frame.

[0063] Further, as Figure 8As shown in the figure, the first support assembly further includes: a first connecting plate 118, a second connecting plate 119, and a first partition plate 115. The first connecting plate 118 is disposed close to the first installation space 111, and the first connecting plate 118 is connected to at least one first support column 116; the second connecting plate 119 is disposed opposite to the first connecting plate 118 along the width direction of the first support plate 114, the second connecting plate 119 extends along a square shape, the second connecting plate 119 is connected to at least one first support column 116 and at least one support cross beam, and a third installation space 113 is formed among the first support column 116, the first connecting plate 118, the second connecting plate 119, the support cross beam, and the first support plate 114; the first partition plate 115 is disposed in the third installation space 113, and the first partition plate 115 divides a part of the third installation space 113 into an upper installation space and a lower installation space. The first partition plate 115 is connected to at least two first support columns 116, and both sides of the first partition plate 115 are abutted against the first connecting plate 118 and the second connecting plate 119 respectively. The low-voltage module includes a first low-voltage controller and a second low-voltage controller. The upper installation space is used for installing the first low-voltage controller 4, and the lower installation space is used for installing the second low-voltage controller 5.

[0064] The main functions of the first connecting plate 118 and the second connecting plate 119 are to strengthen the overall structure of the first support assembly in the width direction, ensuring stability and rigidity when bearing loads. The first connecting plate 118 is disposed close to the first installation space 111, meaning it is adjacent to the area of the high-voltage distribution box 1, capable of effectively separating the high-voltage and low-voltage areas and enhancing the electrical isolation effect. The second connecting plate 119 is directly connected to at least one first support column 116 and extends in a square shape. Such a design increases the contact area with the support columns and the support cross beam, further improving the bending resistance and overall stability of the first support assembly. Through the relative arrangement of the first connecting plate 118 and the second connecting plate 119, they, together with the first support column 116, the support cross beam, and the first support plate 114, form a strengthened frame structure, providing a more robust support platform for the electrical components in the third installation space 113.

[0065] The first partition plate 115 is an important partitioning component inside the integrated module. Its function is to further divide the third installation space 113 into an upper installation space and a lower installation space, realizing the vertical hierarchical arrangement of the low-voltage controller. The first partition plate 115 is connected to at least two first support columns 116, ensuring its structural stability and firmness, and avoiding displacement or damage caused by vibration or collision during vehicle driving. The two sides of the first partition plate 115 are respectively abutted against the first connecting plate 118 and the second connecting plate 119. This not only enhances the partitioning effect but also ensures the close fit between the first partition plate 115 and the entire first support component, forming a stable partitioning structure. The upper installation space is used to install the first low-voltage controller 4, and the lower installation space is used to install the second low-voltage controller 5. The advantage of this hierarchical layout is that, on the one hand, the installation positions can be reasonably allocated according to the heat dissipation requirements and electrical characteristics of different controllers to optimize thermal management; on the other hand, the utilization of this vertical space can better reduce the planar floor area of the module and improve the spatial layout efficiency of the entire integrated module.

[0066] In another alternative embodiment, the number of low-voltage controllers can be selected according to the actual situation, and multiple partition plates can be provided to divide the third installation space into multiple spaces.

[0067] Specifically, a fourth installation space 121, a fifth installation space 122, a sixth installation space 123, and a seventh installation space 124 are provided on the second frame 12. The fourth installation space 121, the fifth installation space 122, the sixth installation space 123, and the seventh installation space 124 are arranged adjacent to each other along the length direction of the second frame 12. The fourth installation space 121 is used to install the power module, the fifth installation space 122 is used to install the heater 13 and the battery 14, the sixth installation space 123 is used to install the AC-DC converter 15 and the intelligent driving control component, and the seventh installation space 124 is used to install the thermal management component 8.

[0068] Further, the second frame 12 includes: a second frame body 120, a second support plate 125, and a second support assembly. The second support plate 125 is connected to the second frame body 120. The second support assembly includes second support columns 126. The second support columns 126 are connected to at least one of the second frame body 120 and the second support plate 125. There are multiple second support columns 126, and the multiple second support columns 126 extend in the vertical direction. A connecting cross beam is provided between adjacent two second support columns 126. The first frame body 110 is detachably connected to the connecting cross beam 128. Fourth installation spaces 121, fifth installation spaces 122, and sixth installation spaces 123 are sequentially formed between the second support assembly and the second frame body 120 along the length direction. The top of the second support assembly is higher than the top of the second frame body 120. Among them, a fourth installation space 121 is formed between the second support columns 126, the connecting cross beam 128, and the second support plate 125. The fourth installation space is used to install an electric air compressor 6. The electric air compressor 6 is connected to an air treatment component 7 through an air pipe. The air treatment component 7 is arranged outside the integrated module.

[0069] In this embodiment, the connecting cross beam not only connects adjacent second support columns 126, but also forms a detachable connection with the second frame body 120. Such a design is beneficial for quickly disassembling specific parts when maintenance or equipment replacement is needed, without affecting the structural integrity of the entire frame, and improving the maintenance efficiency. Thus, the electrical components installed in the fourth installation space 121, the fifth installation space 122, and the sixth installation space 123 can be repaired.

[0070] The electric air compressor supplies air for the whole vehicle. Considering that the electric air compressor generally has good reliability and does not require frequent maintenance, and the electric air compressor vibrates greatly during operation. Arranged directly below the high-voltage distribution box, it can reduce the vibration impact on the upper-layer low-voltage controller. The electric air compressor 6 is connected to the air treatment component 7 through an air pipe. And if the air pipe is too short, it is not conducive to the condensation of moisture in the air, and there is a risk of water accumulation inside the air compressor. Therefore, the air treatment component 7 is arranged outside the integrated module and is separately packaged from the integrated module. The air treatment component 7 can be arranged behind the left longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame and the front wheel mudguard.

[0071] Furthermore, the second support assembly further includes: a second partition plate 127 disposed in the sixth installation space 123, and the second partition plate 127 divides a part of the sixth installation space 123 into an upper installation space and a lower installation space. The second partition plate 127 is connected to at least four second support columns 126. The intelligent driving control assembly includes a first intelligent driving controller 16 and a second intelligent driving controller 17. The upper installation space is used to install the first intelligent driving controller 16, and the lower installation space is used to install the AC-DC converter 15 and the second intelligent driving controller 17. Wherein, the second frame body 120 has the same width as the top of the second support assembly, and the length dimension of the second frame body 120 is greater than the length dimension of the top of the second support assembly. At least a part of the second frame body 120 protrudes to form a seventh installation space 124 for installing the thermal management component 8. At least a part of the second frame body 120 protrudes from the second support assembly to form an independent seventh installation space 124. This design is beneficial to the installation of the thermal management component 8, ensuring its proximity to the cooling source (such as a radiator), thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the design of the protruding part also takes into account the need for maintenance space, facilitating the maintenance and adjustment of the thermal management component.

[0072] Specifically, the protruding part of the second frame body 120 includes two relatively arranged support tube structures. A seventh installation space 124 is formed between one side of the two support tube structures facing the second frame 12, the end part of a part of the second frame 12, and the end part of the first frame 11. One side of the two support tube structures facing the second frame 12 is connected to the end part of the frame, and at the same time they also correspond to the end part of the first frame 11, forming a structural layout that is both independent and closely connected. This design ensures that the installation position of the thermal management component 8 will not affect the layout and function of other electrical equipment, and at the same time is convenient for the maintenance and inspection of the component. The setting of the two support tube structures cleverly utilizes the extra space in the front part of the vehicle frame, provides an independent and optimized installation position for the thermal management component 8, reduces the occupation of the space in the core area of the integrated module, and makes the overall module layout more compact and reasonable.

[0073] In this embodiment, the thermal management component 8 is composed of a frame body, thermal management pipelines, a water pump, a compressor, a valve body, etc., and is responsible for the functions of vehicle water supply, cooling and heating. Considering the connection with the front heat dissipation module (fan, water tank, etc.), it is integrally arranged at the frontmost part of the integrated module.

[0074] As Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 shown, the frame is arranged in upper and lower layers, and the upper and lower layers are connected by angle irons; the lower layer frame is connected to the vehicle frame through the front integrated module suspension; the upper and lower layer frames and the internal components can be assembled offline (assembled to Figure 1In the (status), it is installed as a whole on the vehicle frame; when maintenance is required, the upper frame can be disassembled separately by releasing the angle iron connection (disassembling Figure 1 to Figure 3 and Figure 4 two states, which can ensure that when assembled on the vehicle frame, Figure 4 can be disassembled separately from the Figure 3 from Figure 1 state), improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0075] As Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, it is a schematic diagram of the layout of the front accessory module of the new energy vehicle proposed by the present invention (removing the frame), and the positions of each component can be clearly seen.

[0076] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0077] 1. A front accessory module for a new energy commercial vehicle proposed by the present invention greatly reduces the overall size through optimized design, enabling it to be arranged in the position of the engine of a traditional fuel vehicle, thus freeing up more space in the chassis system for the layout of other components.

[0078] 2. This module highly integrates key components such as a high-voltage distribution box, a low-voltage lithium battery, a low-voltage distribution box, a low-voltage controller, an electric air compressor, an APU, and a heat management system component, significantly improving the integration level and achieving a high degree of functional integration and compact layout.

[0079] 3. The front accessory module involved in the present invention supports the overall encapsulation technology, which not only simplifies the assembly process flow, but also effectively shortens the assembly man-hours, improves the production efficiency and reduces the manufacturing cost;

[0080] 4. The integrated module is divided into upper and lower frames, and the upper frame can be disassembled separately, improving the convenience of maintenance.
