[0013] This application discloses an integrated thermal management device, which includes a valve B, a sensor D, and a mounting base E. The mounting base E includes a first mounting part E1 and a second mounting part E2. The sensor D is connected to the first mounting part E1, and the valve B is connected to the second mounting part E2.

By connecting the first mounting part E1 and the second mounting part E2, the first mounting part E1 and the second mounting part E2 can be assembled with other parts as a whole or as a single component, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the sensor D and the valve B.

[0015] According to a specific embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 23 The thermal management integrated device includes a sensor D and a mounting base E.

[0017] It is important to note that Figure 5 The dashed lines shown represent valve B and sensor D from... Figure 6 The assembly state shown moves along the direction indicated by the dashed line to... Figure 5 The exploded view shown.

[0018] Furthermore, the first mounting part E1 and the second mounting part E2 are assembled and connected or are a single unit. Therefore, the first mounting part E1 and the second mounting part E2 can be connected as a whole to other components to realize the installation of valve B and sensor D. Compared with the installation and fixation of valve B and sensor D through independently installed valve mounting seats and sensor mounting seats (the valve mounting seats and sensor mounting seats are two independently installed components), the mounting seat E in this embodiment can improve the assembly efficiency of sensor D and valve B.

[0019] Furthermore, the sensor D is assembled / connected to the first mounting part E1. The assembly / connection between the sensor D and the first mounting part E1 includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: screw connection, bolt connection, adhesive bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, and threaded connection.

[0021] The first mounting part E1 and the second mounting part E2 are connected. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting part E1 and the second mounting part E2 are an integral piece, and both the first mounting part E1 and the second mounting part E2 are located on the same mounting base E.

[0022] The thermal management integrated device includes a flow channel section 1, which is connected to the mounting base E.

[0023] Furthermore, the flow channel 1 is assembled / connected to the mounting base E. The assembly / connection between the flow channel 1 and the mounting base E includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: screw connection, bolt connection, adhesive bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, and welding.

[0024] Valve B and sensor D can be installed and fixed to flow channel 1 through a mounting base E, which is highly efficient.

[0025] The flow channel 1 has a flow channel, and when the thermal management integrated device is running, fluid / heat exchange medium can flow through the flow channel.

[0026] The first mounting part E1 has a first channel E10, which connects the flow channel and the sensor D. The second mounting part E2 has a second channel E20, which connects the flow channel and the valve B.

[0027] In other words, the flow channel 1 is connected to the sensor D through the first channel E10 of the first mounting part E1, and fluid can flow from the flow channel 1 into the sensor D, and fluid can flow from the sensor D into the flow channel 1; the flow channel 1 is connected to the valve B through the second channel E20 of the second mounting part E2, and fluid can flow from the flow channel 1 into the valve B, and fluid can flow from the valve B into the flow channel 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the flow channel 1 is an extruded part, that is, the flow channel 1 can be processed and shaped by the extrusion process, and the processing technology of the flow channel 1 is simple.

[0029] In this embodiment, the flow channel 1 has a flow channel cavity that extends through the end faces of both ends of the flow channel 1 along its length.

[0030] In this embodiment, the flow channel cavity can be formed by an extrusion process. Furthermore, the flow channel cavity can be extruded together with the flow channel section 1.

[0031] Optionally, the flow channel portion 1 has a first flow channel cavity 11a and a second flow channel cavity 12a. The first flow channel cavity 11a extends through the end faces of both ends of the flow channel portion 1 along its length direction, and the second flow channel cavity 12a extends through the end faces of both ends of the flow channel portion 1 along its length direction. Please refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown; Optionally, the flow channel 1 has a first flow channel 11 and a second flow channel 12, the first flow channel 11 being located in the first flow channel cavity 11a, and the second flow channel 12 being located in the second flow channel cavity 12a. (Please refer to...) Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown; The first flow channel cavity 11a can be formed by extrusion process, and the first flow channel cavity 11a can be extruded together with the flow channel part 1 to simplify the processing technology of the first flow channel cavity 11a.

[0032] The second flow channel cavity 12a can be formed by extrusion process, and the second flow channel cavity 12a can be extruded together with the flow channel part 1 to simplify the processing technology of the second flow channel cavity 12a.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the flow channel 1 has an exhaust channel 14, which extends along the thickness direction of the flow channel 1 and penetrates the end faces of both ends of the flow channel 1. The thickness direction of the flow channel 1 is perpendicular to the length direction of the flow channel 1, and the thickness direction of the flow channel 1 is perpendicular to the width direction of the flow channel 1.

[0034] The first channel E10 is connected to the exhaust channel 14, and fluid can enter the first channel E10 from the exhaust channel 14.

[0035] The first channel E10 is connected to the second channel E20, allowing fluid to flow from the first channel E10 into the second channel E20. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.

[0036] Since the first channel E10 is connected to the exhaust channel 14, and the first channel E10 is connected to the second channel E20, the second channel E20 is connected to the exhaust channel 14, and fluid can enter the second channel E20 from the exhaust channel 14.

[0037] The second channel E20 connects the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12, allowing fluid located in the second flow channel 12 to enter the first flow channel 11 through the second channel E20.

[0038] In this embodiment, the exhaust passage 14 is at least partially located in the second flow channel 12, that is, the second flow channel 12 includes at least a portion of the exhaust passage 14, that is, the exhaust passage 14 overlaps with the second flow channel 12 at least partially, in other words, the exhaust passage 14 and the second flow channel 12 share a common connecting section.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the exhaust passage 14 is part of the second passage 12, that is, the exhaust passage 14 is a part separated / divided from the second passage 12, thereby improving the integration of the exhaust passage 14 in the flow channel section 1.

[0040] The second channel E20 connects the first flow channel 11 and the exhaust channel 14, allowing fluid to enter the first flow channel 11 from the exhaust channel 14 through the second channel E20. In this application, the thermal management integrated device includes a compression module 4, which includes a cylindrical part 41. The cylindrical part 41 is assembled and connected to the flow channel part 1 or is an integral part.

[0041] The cylindrical body portion 41 extends along the length direction of the flow channel portion 1, and the length direction of the flow channel portion 1 is consistent with the length direction of the cylindrical body portion 41. In other words, the length direction of the flow channel portion 1 is parallel to the length direction of the cylindrical body portion 41.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cylinder portion 41 and the flow channel portion 1 are integral parts, and the cylinder portion 41 and the flow channel portion 1 can be integrally formed by an extrusion process, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.

[0043] The compression module 4 includes a compressor core 42 and a cylinder portion 41 having a cylinder cavity 410. The compressor core 42 is at least partially located in the cylinder cavity 410. The cylinder cavity 410 extends through two end faces at both ends of the cylinder portion 41 along the length direction of the cylinder portion 41. The length direction of the cylinder portion 41 is consistent with the length direction of the flow channel portion 1. In other words, the cylinder cavity 410 extends through two end faces at both ends of the cylinder portion 41 along the length direction of the flow channel portion 1.

[0044] The compression module 4 has an exhaust chamber 401, which is connected to the exhaust channel 14.

[0045] Sensor D is used to measure the temperature or pressure of the fluid discharged from the compression module 4. Sensor D is preferably, but not limited to, a PT sensor.

[0046] The compression module 4 has a compressor exhaust port P1; the compressor exhaust port P1 is located between the exhaust chamber 401 and the exhaust channel 14, and the compressor exhaust port P1 connects the exhaust chamber 401 and the exhaust channel 14.

[0047] The gas that enters the compression module 4 and is compressed by the compressor core 42 can enter the exhaust chamber 401 and then enter the exhaust passage 14 from the exhaust chamber 401.

[0048] In this embodiment, the flow channel 1 has an air intake channel 15, which communicates with the first flow channel 11. Fluid located in the first flow channel 11 can enter the air intake channel 15, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

[0049] The compression module 4 has an intake chamber located at the end of the compressor core 42 away from the exhaust chamber 401, and the intake chamber is connected to the intake channel 15.

[0050] The compression module 4 has a compressor intake port P2; the compressor intake port P2 is located between the intake chamber 402 and the intake channel 15, and the compressor intake port P2 connects the intake chamber 402 and the intake channel 15.

[0051] The compressor exhaust port P1 is located in the cylinder section 41, and the compressor intake port P2 is located in the cylinder section 41.

[0052] Fluid in the flow channel of fluid section 1 can enter the suction chamber from the suction channel 15.

[0053] The flow channel 1 has a heat insulation groove 10, at least part of which is located between adjacent first flow channels 11 and second flow channels 12. By providing the heat insulation groove 10 between adjacent first flow channels 11 and second flow channels 12, the heat insulation groove 10 can hinder the heat conduction of fluid in adjacent first flow channels 11 and second flow channels 12, thereby reducing heat leakage between adjacent first flow channels 11 and second flow channels 12.

[0054] The heat insulation groove 10 includes a first heat insulation groove 101 and a second heat insulation groove 102, such as Figure 7 As shown, at least a portion of the first heat insulation groove 101 is located between the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12, and at least a portion of the second heat insulation groove 102 is located between the first flow channel 11 and the cylindrical body portion 41.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first heat insulation groove 101 extends through the two end faces of both ends of the flow channel 1 along the length direction of the flow channel 1; the second heat insulation groove 102 extends through the two end faces of both ends of the flow channel 1 along the length direction of the flow channel 1.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first heat insulation groove 101 and the second heat insulation groove 102 are two independent heat insulation grooves 10. That is, the first heat insulation groove 101 and the second heat insulation groove 102 are not connected. In other words, the first heat insulation groove 101 and the second heat insulation groove 102 are separated by a portion of the cylindrical part 41 and / or the flow channel part 1.

[0057] Since the second flow channel 12 is connected to the exhaust channel 14 and the first flow channel 11 is connected to the intake channel 15, the fluid temperature in the second flow channel 12 is higher than the fluid temperature in the first flow channel 11. The heat transfer between the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12 can be reduced through the heat insulation groove 10.

[0058] Of course, in some other embodiments, at least a portion of the heat insulation groove 10 located between the first flow channel 11 and the cylindrical portion 41 is a continuously extending groove, as is the portion of the heat insulation groove 10 located between adjacent first flow channels 11 and second flow channels 12, such as... Figure 8 As shown; in other words, the first heat insulation groove 101 and the second heat insulation groove 102 are connected, that is, the first heat insulation groove 101 and the second heat insulation groove 102 are a whole heat insulation groove 10. The first heat insulation groove 101 and the second heat insulation groove 102 are configured as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the structure, the first flow channel 11 is surrounded on three sides by the heat insulation groove 10, that is, the first flow channel 11 has the following characteristics: Figure 8 The rectangular cross-section shown has three sides surrounded by heat insulation grooves 10, which is more conducive to reducing harmful overheating of the fluid in the first flow channel 11.

[0059] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the air intake channel 15 includes an air intake pipe 151, which has a first end 151a and a second end 151b. The first end 151a is connected to the cylinder part 41, and the second end 151b is connected to the flow channel part 1. The air intake pipe 151 connects the air intake chamber 402 and the first flow channel 11.

[0060] The suction pipe 151 is welded to the cylinder part 41, and / or the suction pipe 151 is welded to the flow channel part 1; In this embodiment, the thermal management integrated device includes a first heat exchanger A1, which is capable of exchanging heat with the fluid in the flow channel within the flow channel section 1. The mounting base E includes a third mounting part E3, and the first heat exchanger A1 is connected to the third mounting part E3. Figure 6 As shown.

[0061] The mounting base E in this embodiment includes a first mounting part E1 for mounting sensor D, a second mounting part E2 for mounting valve B, and a third mounting part E3 for mounting first heat exchanger A1. The mounting base E in this embodiment has a high degree of integration, which allows it to connect to a large number of components. Therefore, using this mounting base E can improve the integration of the thermal management integrated device, improve the space utilization of the thermal management integrated device, and facilitate the development of the thermal management integrated device towards miniaturization.

[0062] Optionally, the first heat exchanger A1 is assembled / connected to the third mounting section E3.

[0063] In this embodiment, the third mounting part E3 has a third channel E30, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third channel E30 is connected to the first channel E10, and fluid can enter the third channel E30 from the first channel E10.

[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, the first heat exchanger A1 has a first heat exchanger inlet A11, and a third channel E30 connects the first channel E10 and the first heat exchanger inlet A11. Fluid can enter the first heat exchanger A1 from the third channel E30 through the first heat exchanger inlet A11.

[0065] Optionally, the third mounting part E3 is located on the side of the first mounting part E1 away from the second mounting part E2, and the third mounting part E3 is connected to the first mounting part E1. Furthermore, the first mounting part E1, the second mounting part E2, and the third mounting part E3 are integrated into one unit.

[0066] The second channel E20 has a valve inlet E21 and a valve outlet E22. The valve inlet E21 is connected to the first channel E10, and fluid can enter the valve B from the first channel E10 through the valve inlet E21. Mounting base E includes an extension E4, which has a fourth channel E40. The fourth channel E40 connects the first flow channel 11 and the valve outlet E22. Fluid flowing out of valve B can enter the first flow channel 11 from the valve outlet E22 through the fourth channel E40.

[0067] In summary, the mounting base E of the above structural design has a high degree of integration.

[0068] The flow channel 1 includes a first wall 1A, such as Figure 9 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the first wall 1A is located on the side of the flow channel section 1 away from the cylinder section 41. The valve B, sensor D, and first heat exchanger A1 are all located on the first wall 1A, which facilitates the installation of the first wall 1A.

[0069] like Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, the heat exchange assembly includes a second heat exchanger A2, which is located on the first wall 1A. The second heat exchanger A2 is capable of exchanging heat with the fluid in the flow channel provided in the flow channel section 1.

[0070] This embodiment describes the process using the example of selecting the first heat exchanger A1 as a condenser and the second heat exchanger A2 as an evaporator. The fluid flows into the first heat exchanger A1 before the second heat exchanger A2, that is, the fluid first flows into the first heat exchanger A1 for heat exchange, and the fluid that has completed heat exchange in the first heat exchanger A1 then flows into the second heat exchanger A2 for heat exchange.

[0071] In this embodiment, the thermal management integrated device includes a second valve B2, which is located on the first wall 1A. The second valve B2 also facilitates the heat exchange process of the fluid. The fluid that has completed heat exchange in the first heat exchanger A1 will first enter the second valve B2, and then flow into the second heat exchanger A2. That is, along the fluid flow path, the second valve B2 is located between the first heat exchanger A1 and the second heat exchanger A2. In other words, the second valve B2 is located in the fluid flow path from the first heat exchanger A1 to the second heat exchanger A2.

[0072] Optionally, the second valve B2 is preferably, but not limited to, an electronic expansion valve.

[0073] In this embodiment, the second valve B2 is connected to the flow channel 1 through the second valve seat B20. That is, the second valve seat B20 connects the second valve B2 and the flow channel 1. The second valve seat B20 has a channel that connects the second valve B2 and the second heat exchanger A2, which allows fluid to flow from the second valve seat B20 into the second valve B2. After passing through the second valve B2, the fluid flows back to the second valve seat B20 and then enters the second heat exchanger A2.

[0074] The second heat exchanger A2 has a second heat exchanger inlet A21 and a second heat exchanger outlet A22, such as Figure 11 As shown, fluid can enter the second heat exchanger A2 from the inlet A21 and exit the second heat exchanger A2 from the outlet A22.

[0075] In this embodiment, the thermal management integrated device includes a plug 2, which is connected to the flow channel 1.

[0076] Preferably, the plug 2 is welded to the flow channel 1.

[0077] The plug 2 of this application is configured as a plurality of plugs, wherein a portion of the plugs 2 are located in the first flow channel 11 and a portion of the plugs 2 are located in the second flow channel 12.

[0078] In this embodiment, the flow channel 1 has a third flow channel cavity 13a, which extends through the end faces of both ends of the flow channel 1 along its length direction, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown The flow channel section 1 has a third flow channel 13, which is located in the third flow channel cavity 13a, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown; like Figure 3 As shown, the third flow channel 13 / third flow channel cavity 13a is located on the side of the second flow channel 12 away from the first flow channel 11. The first flow channel 11, the second flow channel 12 and the third flow channel 13 are arranged along the width direction of the flow channel portion 1, and a number of plugs 2 are located in the third flow channel 13.

[0079] The first heat exchanger A1 has a first heat exchanger inlet A11 and a first heat exchanger outlet A12, such as Figure 11 As shown, fluid can enter the first heat exchanger A1 from the inlet A11 and exit the first heat exchanger A1 from the outlet A12.

[0080] The second valve B2 has a second valve outlet. At least one of the first heat exchanger inlet A11, the first heat exchanger outlet A12, and the second valve outlet is in communication with the third flow channel 13. The second flow channel 12 is in communication with the second heat exchanger outlet A22. At least a portion of the third flow channel 13 and at least a portion of the second flow channel 12 are arranged close to each other.

[0081] Since the fluid first enters the first heat exchanger A1 for a first heat exchange and then enters the second heat exchanger A2 for a second heat exchange, the temperature of the fluid in the third flow channel 13 is different from that in the second flow channel 12. By designing at least part of the third flow channel 13 and at least part of the second flow channel 12 to be close together, heat transfer and heat exchange can be carried out between the fluid in the third flow channel 13 and the fluid in the second flow channel 12.

[0082] In this embodiment, the third flow channel 13 is connected to the outlet A12 of the first heat exchanger, and the second flow channel 12 is connected to the outlet A22 of the second heat exchanger.

[0083] Of course, in some other embodiments, the third flow channel 13 may be connected to the first heat exchanger inlet A11 and / or the first valve outlet B12.

[0084] In this embodiment, the third flow channel 13 and the second flow channel 12 are arranged parallel to the first flow channel 11, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown.

Figure 9 As shown; like Figure 9 As shown, along the first direction F1, the minimum distance between the wall forming the third flow channel 13 and the wall forming the second flow channel 12 is L1. Along the second direction F2, the minimum distance between the walls forming the third flow channel 13 is Y1, and the minimum distance between the walls forming the second flow channel 12 is Y2. The minimum value between Y1 and Y2 is selected and L2 is defined, where 2≤L2 / L1≤3.

[0091] In this embodiment, the projection of the wall forming the third flow channel 13 onto the aforementioned reference plane is a rectangular or approximately rectangular cross-sectional profile, and the projection of the wall forming the second flow channel 12 onto the aforementioned reference plane is a rectangular or approximately rectangular cross-sectional profile. The cross-sectional profile of the wall forming the third flow channel 13 is the same as and equal in size to the cross-sectional profile of the wall forming the second flow channel 12. In this embodiment, Y2 = Y1, combined with... Figure 2 As can be seen, in this embodiment, 2≤Y2 / L1≤3, in other words, 2≤Y1 / L1≤3.

Figure 1 and Figure 6 The structure shown, by setting the mounting base E to the above structure, can improve the space utilization of the components valve B, sensor D, and first heat exchanger A1 connected to the mounting base E. In addition, combined with the flow channel 1 and the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12, the installation space of the thermal management integrated device can be rationally utilized, making the layout of the components valve B, sensor D, first heat exchanger A1, and gas-liquid separator C applied to the thermal management integrated device more compact, thereby facilitating the development of the thermal management integrated device towards miniaturization. In this embodiment, the gas-liquid separator C has a medium inlet and a medium outlet.

[0102] The medium inlet is connected to the second heat exchanger outlet A22 of the second heat exchanger A2, and the medium outlet is connected to the compressor suction port P2, so that the fluid passing through the gas-liquid separator can flow from the medium outlet to the compressor suction port P2.

[0103] The medium outlet C2 is connected to the first flow channel 11, and the first heat exchanger A1 has a first heat exchanger inlet A11, which is connected to the second flow channel 12.

[0104] In this embodiment, the thermal management integrated device includes a third cover plate 33, which is located between the gas-liquid separator C and the flow channel 1. The third cover plate 33 has a third channel inside, which connects the medium inlet and the second flow channel 12. Specifically, the third channel connects the medium inlet and the second flow path S2.

[0105] When the thermal management integrated device is in operation, the fluid in the second flow channel 12 can enter the gas-liquid separator C through the third channel of the third cover plate 33 along the second flow path S2.

[0106] Optionally, the third cover plate 33 is connected to the flow channel 1. The connection method between the third cover plate 33 and the flow channel 1 is preferably, but not limited to, welding.

[0108] In this embodiment, the thermal management integrated device includes a first sensor D1, which is used to detect the air pressure and / or air temperature at the compressor exhaust port P1; Optionally, the first sensor D1 is connected to the second valve seat B20, which has a high degree of integration.

[0110] Furthermore, please combine Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the flow channel 1 has a third mounting groove 130, and the third cover plate 33 is located in the third mounting groove 130.

[0111] The first flow channel 11 can connect the gas-liquid separator C and the second valve B2. The fluid in the first flow channel 11 has a third flow path, which refers to the flow path of the fluid from the second valve B2 along the first flow channel 11 to the medium inlet.

[0112] In this embodiment, as Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 22 As shown, the thermal management integrated device includes a sensing element D2, which is assembled and connected to a fourth cover plate 34. At least a portion of the sensing element D2 (the sensing module of at least a portion of the sensing element D2) is located in the cavity of the fourth cover plate 34. The sensing element D2 is used to measure the temperature or pressure of the fluid drawn into the compression module 4. The sensing element D2 is preferably, but not limited to, a PT sensor.

[0113] Sensor D and sensing element D2 can be the same or different, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0114] Furthermore, such as Figure 23As shown, the gas-liquid separator C includes a housing C0 and a first baffle C1. The first baffle C1 is connected to the housing C0 and is located in the cavity of the housing C0. The cavity includes a first cavity C01 and a second cavity C02. The housing C0 has an inlet C08. The second cavity C02 is located on the side of the first cavity C01 away from the inlet C08. The first baffle C1 has a first connecting channel C10, which connects the first cavity C01 and the second cavity C02. The first connecting channel C10 has an outlet end C10a, which is located at one end of the first channel C10 near the second cavity C02. The first baffle C1 includes a turbulence portion C13, at least part of which is located at the outlet end C10a.

[0115] The gas-liquid separator of this embodiment includes a housing C0 and a first baffle C1. The first baffle C1 is located in the cavity of the housing C0, which includes a first cavity C01 and a second cavity C02. The first baffle C1 has a first connecting channel C10 that connects the first cavity C01 and the second cavity C02. Fluid in the gas-liquid separator can enter the second cavity C02 from the first cavity C01 through the first connecting channel C10. The first channel C10 has an outlet end C10a. The first baffle C1 includes a turbulence part C13, at least part of which is located at the outlet end C10a. The flow velocity of the fluid flowing out of the first cavity C01 through the outlet end C10a of the first connecting channel C10 increases. The fluid from the outlet end C10a of the first connecting channel C10 is more likely to be sprayed into the turbulence part C13 located at the outlet end C10a in a jet-like flow state. Therefore, the gas-liquid separator of this embodiment can increase the fluid flow rate acting on the turbulence part C13.

[0116] like Figure 23 As shown, the gas-liquid separator C includes a second baffle C2 located in the cavity of the housing C0. The cavity includes a third cavity C03 located on the side of the second cavity C02 away from the first cavity C01. The second baffle C2 has a second connecting channel C20 connecting the second cavity C02 and the third cavity C03. Figure 23 As shown; the fluid in the second chamber CO2 can enter the third chamber CO3 through the second connecting channel C20.

[0117] Similarly, the second baffle C2 is also designed with a rectifier that has the functions of guiding and turbulence.

[0118] The shell cavity includes a fifth cavity C05, a sixth cavity C06, and a seventh cavity C07. Through the action of the first baffle C1 and the second baffle C2, the gas and liquid two-phase fluids are separated. The liquid fluid can flow through the through hole C30 under the action of gravity. The gas and liquid fluids can pass through the first cavity C01, the second cavity C02, the third cavity C03, the fifth cavity C05, the sixth cavity C06, and the seventh cavity C07 in sequence, and finally flow out of the gas-liquid separator C from the outlet C08 of the shell C0.

[0119] In this embodiment, as Figure 14 and Figure 17 As shown, the first flow channel 11, the second flow channel 12, and the third flow channel 13 are all equipped with plugs 2. The third flow channel 13 contains two plugs 2, which cooperate with the flow channel portion 1 to define the flow range of the fluid within the third flow channel 13. In other words, the plugs 2 can restrict the flow range of the fluid along the first flow path S1. The second flow channel 12 contains four plugs 2, two of which cooperate with the flow channel portion 1 to define the flow range of the fluid within the second flow channel 12. In other words, the plugs 2 can restrict the flow range of the fluid along the second flow path S2. The other two plugs 2 of the second flow channel 12 are used to restrict the flow between the compressor discharge port P1 and the second flow channel 12. The connection range, in other words, the other two plugs 2 of the second flow channel 12 are used to restrict the compressor exhaust passage connecting the compressor exhaust port P1 and the second valve seat 20; the first flow channel 11 is provided with four plugs 2, of which two plugs 2 cooperate with the flow channel part 1 to limit the flow range of fluid in the first flow channel 11. In other words, the plugs 2 can be used to restrict the flow range of fluid along the third flow path. The other two plugs 2 of the first flow channel 11 are used to restrict the connection range between the compressor suction port P2 and the first flow channel 11. In other words, the other two plugs 2 of the first flow channel 11 are used to restrict the compressor exhaust passage connecting the compressor suction port P2 and the fourth cover plate 34.

[0120] In summary, as Figure 14 As shown, Figure 14 The thick dashed line with arrows shown represents the fluid flow path. The fluid processed by the compression module 4 enters the second valve seat 20 from the compressor exhaust port P1. The fluid can enter the first heat exchanger A1 from the second valve seat 20. The fluid processed by the first heat exchanger A1 enters the first cover plate 31 and enters the third flow channel 13 along the first channel 310. The fluid in the third flow channel 13 can enter the first valve seat B10 along the first flow path S1. The fluid passing through the first valve B1 can enter the second heat exchanger A2 from the first valve seat B10. The fluid processed by the second heat exchanger A2 enters the second cover plate 32 and enters the second flow channel 12 along the second channel 320. The fluid in the second flow channel 12 can enter the third cover plate 33 along the second flow path S2. The fluid can enter the gas-liquid separator C from the third passage of the third cover plate 33, then enter the fourth cover plate 34, and flow into the compressor intake port P2 along the fourth passage of the fourth cover plate 34.

[0121] In addition, the fluid processed by the compression module 4 enters the second valve seat 20 from the compressor exhaust port P1. The fluid can enter the second valve B2 from the second valve seat 20. The fluid passing through the second valve B2 can enter the first flow channel 11 from the second valve seat 20. Then, it enters the gas-liquid separator C from the first flow channel 11. Then, the fluid can enter the fourth cover plate 34 and flow into the compressor intake port P2 along the fourth passage of the fourth cover plate 34.
