Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle thermal management technology, and more specifically to an integrated module of a thermal management system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of vehicle thermal management technology, with the rapid development of the automotive industry, the requirements for thermal management systems are also increasing. Traditional thermal management systems often consist of multiple dispersed components connected by complex pipes and wiring, which not only occupies a lot of space but also increases the complexity and maintenance difficulty of the system. At the same time, due to the independence and dispersion of each component, the thermal management efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern vehicles for efficient, compact, and reliable thermal management systems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated module for a thermal management system that solves the problems of occupying a large amount of space, increasing system complexity and maintenance difficulty, and low efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An integrated module for a thermal management system is provided. The integrated module has a main cavity on its exterior. A condenser and an exchanger are screwed and fixed inside the right side of the main cavity. A sealing gasket and a flow channel plate are provided between the main cavity and the condenser and the exchanger. The main cavity is to the left of the sealing gasket, and the flow channel plate is to the right of the sealing gasket. Several water pumps are provided on the left outer wall of the main cavity, and water valve assemblies are provided on the side of the water pumps; A controller is provided on the rear side of the main cavity.

[0005] Furthermore, the sealing gasket and the flow channel plate are provided with reserved holes for screw fixing.

[0006] Furthermore, a flow channel plate two is engaged at the upper part of the main cavity, and a protective cover is screwed to the upper part of the flow channel plate two.

[0007] Furthermore, the main cavity structure on the outside of the water valve assembly is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By integrating key components such as the condenser, heat exchanger, water pump, water valve assembly, and controller into a single main cavity, and using gaskets and flow channel plates for separation and connection, this application achieves a high degree of integration and modularity in the thermal management system. This design not only significantly reduces the system's size and weight, improving space utilization, but also simplifies the system's structure and connection methods, reducing maintenance costs and complexity. Simultaneously, by optimizing the flow channel design and control strategy, thermal management efficiency is improved, providing modern vehicles with a more efficient, compact, and reliable thermal management solution.

[0018] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 The preferred embodiment of this application shows an integrated module of a thermal management system. The integrated module has a main cavity 1 on the outside. A condenser 2 and an exchanger 3 are screwed and fixed inside the right side of the main cavity 1. A sealing gasket 4 and a flow channel plate 5 are provided between the main cavity 1 and the condenser 2 and the exchanger 3. The left side of the sealing gasket 4 is the main cavity 1, and the right side of the sealing gasket 4 is the flow channel plate 5. Several water pumps 6 are provided on the left outer wall of the main cavity 1, and water valve assemblies 7 are provided on the side of the water pumps 6; A controller 8 is located on the rear side of the main cavity 1.

[0023] The sealing gasket 4 and the flow channel plate 5 are provided with reserved holes for screw fixing.

[0024] The upper part of the main cavity 1 is fitted with a flow channel plate 9, and the upper part of the flow channel plate 9 is screwed with a protective cover.

[0025] The main cavity 1 on the outer side of the water valve assembly 7 is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0026] During use, first install the integrated module in the designated thermal management location on the vehicle according to the design requirements, ensuring that the main cavity 1 is securely installed. During installation, because the sealing gasket 4 and the flow channel plate 5 have pre-drilled holes for bolting, bolts and other connecting parts can be used to precisely and firmly connect the condenser 2, exchanger 3, and main cavity 1, ensuring that the sealing gasket 4 effectively seals and prevents leakage of coolant and other media, while the flow channel plate 5 guides the flow of media appropriately.

[0027] Several water pumps 6 on the left outer wall of the main cavity 1 need to be connected to corresponding pipes according to the actual needs of the vehicle's thermal management system to ensure that the water pumps 6 can draw and deliver coolant normally. The water valve assembly 7 must be correctly connected to the water pumps 6 and other pipes in the system. By controlling the opening and closing and the opening degree of the water valve assembly 7, the flow rate and direction of the coolant can be adjusted to meet the vehicle's thermal management needs under different operating conditions.

[0028] The controller 8 located at the rear of the main cavity 1 is to be electrically connected to the vehicle's control system. Through the control program built into the controller 8, the speed of the water pump 6 and the status of the water valve assembly 7 are precisely controlled based on feedback information from the vehicle's temperature sensors, thereby achieving efficient and automated control of the thermal management system.

[0029] The flow channel plate 2 9, which engages with the upper part of the main cavity 1, and the protective cover screwed onto it, must be installed correctly. The protective cover effectively protects the flow channel plate 2 9 and the internal flow channel structure, preventing external debris from entering and affecting the normal operation of the system. The reinforcing ribs on the outer side of the main cavity 1 structure of the water valve assembly 7 enhance the strength of the main cavity 1 at this location, ensuring the stability of the main cavity 1 structure when subjected to various vibrations and stresses during vehicle operation, thereby guaranteeing the reliable operation of the entire thermal management system integrated module. Through the complete installation and usage process described above, the integrated module of this thermal management system can provide stable and efficient thermal management functions for the vehicle.

[0030] In summary, this invention provides an integrated module for a thermal management system. This device integrates key components such as the condenser, heat exchanger, water pump, water valve assembly, and controller into a single main chamber, using gaskets and flow channel plates for separation and connection. This achieves a high degree of integration and modularity in the thermal management system. This design not only significantly reduces the system's size and weight, improving space utilization, but also simplifies the system's structure and connection methods, reducing maintenance costs and complexity. Furthermore, by optimizing the flow channel design and control strategy, thermal management efficiency is improved, providing a more efficient, compact, and reliable thermal management solution for modern vehicles.

[0031] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0032] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of implementation methods of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
