Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle thermal management technology, and in particular to a thermal management component and manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the thermal management component includes a flow channel section, a compressor housing, a connector, a compressor core, a first end cap, and a second end cap. The flow channel section, connector, and compressor housing are integrally extruded. The compressor housing includes a cylinder with an installation cavity that extends through the cylinder. The connector is connected to the outer wall of the cylinder, and the flow channel section is connected to the connector. The compressor core is located within the installation cavity. The cylinder includes a first end wall, and the first end cap is sealed to the first end wall. The flow channel section has a flow channel cavity that extends through the flow channel section. The flow channel section includes a second end wall, and the second end cap is sealed to the second end wall. Due to the small wall thickness of each flow channel sidewall within the flow channel section, and the significant difference between the wall thickness of each flow channel sidewall and the thickness of the connector, the flow velocity of the material forming each flow channel sidewall during extrusion is greater than the flow velocity of the material forming the connector. The flow channel sidewalls cool and solidify before the connector, causing deformation of the connector. This deformation of the connector leads to deformation of the cylinder where the outer wall connects to the connector. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a thermal management component that reduces the degree of deformation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] On one hand, a thermal management component is provided, comprising a flow channel portion, a compressor housing, a connector, a compressor core, a first end cap, and a second end cap. The compressor housing is an extruded part. The compressor housing includes a cylindrical body with a mounting cavity extending through the cylindrical body. The connector is connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical body, and the flow channel portion is connected to the connector. The compressor core is located within the mounting cavity. The cylindrical body includes a first end wall, and the first end cap is sealed to the first end wall. The flow channel portion has a flow channel cavity extending through the flow channel portion. The flow channel portion includes a second end wall, and the second end cap is sealed to the second end wall. The flow channel portion is welded to or bolted to the compressor housing.

[0006] In this application, the compressor housing is an extruded part, and the flow channel is welded or bolted to the compressor housing. This allows the flow channel and the compressor housing to be formed separately before being connected, reducing the influence of the flow channel on the forming of the compressor housing during the extrusion process, reducing the degree of deformation of the compressor housing, and thus reducing the degree of deformation of the thermal management components.

[0007] On the other hand, a method for manufacturing a thermal management component is provided, the method comprising the following steps: placing a billet into an extrusion cylinder, the extrusion cylinder heating the billet to above the recrystallization temperature; the extrusion cylinder applying pressure to the billet to extrude the billet into a compressor housing, the compressor housing including a cylinder having an mounting cavity through the cylinder; providing a flow channel portion, and welding or bolting the flow channel portion to the outer wall of the cylinder.

[0008] In this application, the compressor housing is extruded and the flow channel is welded or bolted to the outer wall of the cylinder. This allows the flow channel and the compressor housing to be formed separately before being connected, reducing the influence of the flow channel on the forming of the compressor housing during the extrusion process, reducing the degree of deformation of the compressor housing, and thus reducing the degree of deformation of the thermal management components.

[0023] The thermal management component of an exemplary embodiment of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can complement or combine with each other.

[0024] The vehicle thermal management system is primarily used to manage cooling and heating to meet the overall cooling and heating needs of the vehicle, such as the cooling / heating requirements of the cabin, the cooling requirements of the motor, and the heating / cooling requirements of the battery. A portion of the cooling / heating is supplied through methods such as operating the refrigerant circulation loop, starting the heater, and utilizing the cooling capacity of the coolant itself, while some heat is obtained by recovering cooling / heat from other parts of the vehicle. Integrating a portion of the components within the vehicle thermal management system creates a thermal management assembly. It is understood that the components and their positions within the thermal management assembly can be adjusted according to actual needs without affecting the functionality of the component.

[0025] According to a specific embodiment of the thermal management component of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thermal management assembly 1000 includes a flow channel portion 100, a compressor housing 200, a connector 220, a compressor core 240, a first end cap 250, and a second end cap 140. The compressor housing 200 is an extruded part. The through direction of the mounting cavity 230 of the compressor housing 200 is consistent with the extension direction of the compressor housing 200, and the compressor housing 200 is a single piece. In some embodiments, the flow channel portion 100 and the compressor housing 200 are extruded. After the flow channel portion 100 is extruded, the extrusion molding of the flow channel portion 100 refers to placing a pre-prepared billet into an extrusion cylinder, applying pressure, and extruding the material from the opening of the container. During extrusion, the material is in a state of unequal triaxial compressive stress, and the strain state is axial elongation. The flow channel portion 100 and the compressor housing 200 can be produced by hot extrusion, in which the billet is heated to above the recrystallization temperature.

[0026] The internal flow channels of the flow channel 100 are formed by the extrusion molding process, and the internal flow channels of the flow channel 100 extend in the same direction. After the flow channel 100 is extruded, the internal flow channels of the flow channel 100 are opened by machining, and the grooves, through holes and other details of the flow channel 100 are also formed by machining.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the compressor housing 200 includes a cylinder 210. The cylinder 210 has a mounting cavity 230 that extends through the cylinder 210. A connector 220 is connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 210, and a flow channel portion 100 is connected to the connector 220. The compressor core 240 is located within the mounting cavity 230. A first end cap 250 is sealed to the first end wall 211 of the cylinder 210, sealing the mounting cavity 230. The flow channel portion 100 has a flow channel cavity 130 that extends through the flow channel portion 100. A second end cap 140 is sealed to the second end wall 150 of the flow channel portion 100, sealing the flow channel cavity 130.

[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connector 220 has at least one first plane 223, which is connected to the flow channel portion 100. Since the surface where the flow channel portion 100 and the connector 220 are connected is also a plane, the sealing performance of the connection can be improved, reducing the risk of fluid leakage within the thermal management assembly 1000 during operation. Of course, the surface where the flow channel portion 100 and the connector 220 are connected can also be curved, such as a concave or convex surface. Correspondingly, the surface where the flow channel portion 100 and the connector 220 are connected is also curved, such as a convex or concave surface, as long as the flow channel portion 100 and the connector 220 are properly connected. This application is not limited to this.

[0029] The flow channel 100 and the compressor housing 200 are separate parts, which reduces the influence of the flow channel 100 on the forming of the compressor housing 200 during the extrusion process, reduces the degree of deformation of the compressor housing 200, and thus reduces the degree of deformation of the thermal management component 1000.

[0030] In some embodiments, the flow channel portion 100 is welded to the compressor housing 200, or the flow channel portion 100 is laser-welded to the compressor housing 200. During the laser welding process between the flow channel portion 100 and the compressor housing 200, the flow channel portion 100 is aligned with the first plane 223 of the connector 220, and the surface of the flow channel portion 100 in contact with the connector 220 is laser-welded to the outer periphery of the first plane 223 of the connector 220. That is, the outer periphery of the surface of the flow channel portion 100 in contact with the connector 220 is the welding surface, and the outer periphery of the first plane 223 of the connector 220 is also the welding surface.

[0031] The shape of the first plane 223 of the connector 220 is the same as or similar to the shape of the surface of the flow channel 100 that contacts the connector 220. For example, the shape of the first plane 223 of the connector 220 and the surface of the flow channel 100 that contacts the connector 220 are both rectangular, square, circular or elliptical.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the flow channel portion 100 is bolted to the compressor housing 200. The thermal management assembly 1000 also includes a first component 310, a second component 320, a bolt 330, and a nut 340. The first component 310 is connected to the flow channel portion 100 and includes a first through-hole portion 311. The first component 310 has at least one second plane 312, which is connected to the flow channel portion 100. Since the surface connecting the flow channel portion 100 and the first component 310 is also a plane, the reliability of the connection can be improved, reducing the risk of the flow channel portion 100 detaching from the compressor housing 200 during the operation of the thermal management assembly 1000. Of course, the surfaces of the first component 310 and the flow channel portion 100 can also be curved surfaces, such as concave or convex surfaces. Correspondingly, the surfaces of the first component 310 and the flow channel portion 100 can also be curved surfaces, such as convex or concave surfaces, as long as the first component 310 and the flow channel portion 100 are properly connected. This application is not limited to this.

[0033] The second component 320 is connected to the compressor housing 200, and the second component 320 includes a second through hole 321. Since the compressor housing 200 has an irregular shape, the second component 320 and the compressor housing 200 can be connected at a single point or multiple points. For example, the second component 320 may only be connected to the cylinder 210, or it may only be connected to the connector 220. Alternatively, the second component 320 may be connected to both the cylinder 210 and the connector 220.

[0034] Some bolts 330 are located within the first through hole 311 and the second through hole 321. That is, the first component 310 and the second component 320 are connected together by bolts 330. Nuts 340 are threadedly connected to bolts 330. Part of the first component 310 and part of the second component 320 are located between the nut 331 of the bolt 330 and the nut 340. The nut 340 rotates toward the nut 331 of the bolt 330 to achieve a tight connection between the first component 310 and the second component 320, thereby achieving a tight connection between the flow channel 100 and the compressor housing 200.

[0035] In some embodiments, the flow channel portion 100 includes a third through hole portion 110 and a first stepped portion 120, the first stepped portion 120 being connected to the third through hole portion 110. The first stepped portion 120 may have a single step or multiple steps. The first stepped portion 120 may be an internal stepped portion recessed in the direction of the internal flow channel of the flow channel portion 100, or it may be an external stepped portion protruding in the direction of the compressor housing 200, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0036] The connector 220 includes a second stepped portion 221 and a fourth through-hole portion 222, with the second stepped portion 221 connected to the fourth through-hole portion 222. The second stepped portion 221 may have a single step or multiple steps. The first stepped portion 120 may be an internal stepped portion recessed towards the internal compressor core of the compressor housing 200, or an external stepped portion protruding towards the flow channel portion 100; this application is not limited thereto.

[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, along the thickness direction of the flow channel portion 100, the third through-hole portion 110, the first step portion 120, the second step portion 221, and the fourth through-hole portion 222 are arranged sequentially. The thermal management assembly 1000 also includes a plug 410 and a sealing ring 420, with the first portion 411 of the plug 410 being sealed to the first step portion 120. The shape of the first portion 411 of the plug 410 is adapted to the shape of the first step portion 120. For example, if the first step portion 120 is a concave step portion, then the first portion 411 of the plug 410 is a convex step portion, and the first portion 411 of the plug 410 is inserted into the first step portion 120 and sealed to it. Alternatively, if the first step portion 120 is a convex step portion, then the first portion 411 of the plug 410 is a concave step portion, and the first step portion 120 is inserted into the first portion 411 of the plug 410 and sealed to it.

[0038] The second part 412 of the plug-in 410 is engaged with the second step 221. The engagement method of the second part 412 of the plug-in 410 and the second step 221 can be referred to the engagement method of the first part 411 of the plug-in 410 and the first step 120 described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0039] The third part 413 of the plug-in 410 is located within the fourth through hole 222. The plug-in 410 includes a first groove 414 and a fifth through hole 415. The fifth through hole 415 communicates with the third through hole 110 and the fourth through hole 222, and is located between the third through hole 110 and the fourth through hole 222, serving to connect the third through hole 110 and the fourth through hole 222. The inner surfaces of the third through hole 110, the fourth through hole 222, and the fifth through hole 415 are smooth surfaces, and the inner surface of the flow channel 100 is also a smooth surface.

[0040] The sealing ring 420 is located within the first groove portion 414, and the sealing ring 420 is sealed to the first groove portion 414 and the fourth through hole portion 222. The sealing ring 420 is an annular sealing ring, and the first groove portion 414 is an annular groove portion that matches the shape of the sealing ring 420. In this way, when the sealing ring 420 is engaged between the first groove portion 414 and the fourth through hole portion 222, the fourth through hole portion 222 can be sealed all around, ensuring no leakage and improving the sealing performance of the thermal management assembly 1000.

[0041] The material of the sealing ring 420 includes at least one of rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), polyurethane (PU), fluororubber (FKM), silicone rubber (VMQ), and polyetherketone (PEEK). This application is not limited to this, as long as the sealing ring 420 is sealed to the first groove portion 414 and the fourth through hole portion 222.

[0042] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the thermal management assembly 1000 also includes a heat exchanger 510, which is welded to the flow channel portion 100. In some embodiments, the thermal management assembly 1000 further includes a first weld layer 511 and a second recess portion 512, wherein the first weld layer 511 is located within the second recess portion 512, and the first weld layer 511 is welded to the second recess portion 512 and the heat exchanger 510. The first weld layer 511 may cover all or part of the second recess portion 512, that is, the shape of the first weld layer 511 may match the shape of the second recess portion 512, or the shape of the first weld layer 511 may not match the shape of the second recess portion 512, as long as the first weld layer 511 can be welded to the second recess portion 512 and the heat exchanger 510, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first weld layer 511 is integral with the heat exchanger 510, and the first weld layer 511 is welded to the second groove portion 512. For example, the first weld layer 511 is integral with the base plate of the heat exchanger 510, that is, the base plate of the heat exchanger 510 is a composite material, the composite material includes a substrate and a weld layer, and the weld layer is welded to the second groove portion 512.

[0044] The flow channel 100 includes a fifth through hole 513, which penetrates the second groove 512 and the first welding layer 511. The fifth through hole 513 connects the flow channel 100 and the heat exchanger 510, so that the periphery of the fifth through hole 513 is sealed and welded by the first welding layer 511, while the flow channel 100 and the heat exchanger 510 can be connected through the fifth through hole 513.

[0045] Of course, the thermal management component 1000 may include multiple heat exchangers, and the connection method between the multiple heat exchangers and the flow channel 100 can refer to the connection method between the heat exchanger 510 and the flow channel 100 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the thermal management assembly 1000 further includes a gas-liquid separator 520, a second weld layer 521, and a third recess 522. The second weld layer 521 is located within the third recess 522 and is welded to the third recess 522 and the gas-liquid separator 520. The thermal management assembly 1000 also includes a valve seat 530, a third weld layer 531, and a fourth recess 532. The third weld layer 531 is located within the fourth recess 532 and is welded to the fourth recess 532 and the valve seat 530. The thermal management assembly 1000 also includes a sensor seat 540, a fourth weld layer 541, and a fifth recess 542. The fourth weld layer 541 is located within the fifth recess 542 and is welded to the fifth recess 542 and the sensor seat 540. The shapes and functions of the second weld layer 521, the third weld layer 531, and the fourth weld layer 541 are similar to those of the first weld layer 511 and will not be described further here.

[0047] Of course, the thermal management component 1000 may include multiple gas-liquid separators, multiple valve seats or multiple sensor seats. The connection method between the multiple gas-liquid separators, multiple valve seats or multiple sensor seats and the flow channel 100 can refer to the connection method between the gas-liquid separator 520, the valve seat 530 or the sensor seat 540 and the flow channel 100, which will not be described again here.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the thermal management assembly 1000 also includes a bracket 600. The first sidewall 611 of the bracket 600 is connected to the flow channel portion 100, the second sidewall 612 of the bracket 600 is connected to the connector 220, and the third sidewall 621 of the bracket 600 is connected to the outer sidewall of the cylinder 210. The third sidewall 621 of the bracket 600 is an arc-shaped sidewall adapted to the outer sidewall of the cylinder 210. By connecting the bracket 600 to both the connector 220 and the cylinder 210, the reliability of the fixation between the bracket 600 and the compressor housing 200 can be improved.

[0049] The bracket 600 includes a sixth through hole 613, which is connected to the vehicle body. The sixth through hole 613 allows the bracket 600 to be fixed to the vehicle body, thereby fixing the thermal management assembly 1000 to the vehicle body.

[0050] In some embodiments, the bracket 600 and the compressor housing 200 are integral parts, that is, the bracket 600 and the compressor housing 200 are extruded and molded at the same time. This can reduce the process steps in manufacturing the thermal management component 1000, reduce the cost of the thermal management component 1000, and improve the strength of the thermal management component 1000.

[0051] The bracket 600 includes a first sub-bracket 610 and a second sub-bracket 620. The length direction of the first sub-bracket 610 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second sub-bracket 620, and the length direction of the first sub-bracket 610 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the flow channel portion 100. For example, the thickness direction of the flow channel portion 100 is the height direction of the thermal management assembly 1000. The first sub-bracket 610 is located below the flow channel portion 100 and serves to support the flow channel portion 100, thereby improving the reliability of the fixation between the flow channel portion 100 and the vehicle body.

[0052] The first sub-support 610 has a first sidewall 611 and a second sidewall 612, and the second sub-support 620 has a third sidewall 621. The first sidewall 611 of the first sub-support 610 is laser-welded to the flow channel portion 100, the second sidewall 612 of the first sub-support 610 is laser-welded to the connector 220, and the third sidewall 621 of the second sub-support 620 is laser-welded to the outer sidewall of the cylinder 210. By simultaneously connecting the support 600 to the connector 220 and the cylinder 210, the connection reliability between the support 600 and the compressor housing 200 can be improved, thereby improving the connection reliability between the compressor housing 200 and the vehicle body.

[0053] This application also provides a method for manufacturing a thermal management component, the method comprising the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: Place the billet into the extrusion cylinder, which heats the billet to above the recrystallization temperature;

[0055] Step 2: The extrusion cylinder applies pressure to the billet, causing the billet to be extruded and formed into a separate compressor housing 200;

[0056] Step 3: Provide the flow channel 100 and connect the flow channel 100 to the outer wall of the cylinder 210.

[0057] By extruding the compressor housing separately, the influence of the flow channel on the forming of the compressor housing during the extrusion process is reduced, the degree of deformation of the compressor housing is reduced, and thus the degree of deformation of the thermal management components is reduced.

[0058] The manufacturing method of the thermal management component 1000 also includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 1.1: The flow channel 100 and the compressor housing 200 are extruded and molded respectively. The flow channel 100 forms an internal flow channel through extrusion molding.

[0060] Step 1.2: The internal flow channels of the flow channel 100 are opened by machining, and the grooves, through holes and other details of the flow channel 100 are also formed by machining.

[0061] Step 1.3: Heat exchanger 510, gas-liquid separator 520, valve seat 530 and sensor seat 540 are welded to flow channel section 100 through a furnace through a welding layer.

[0062] In this step, components such as the gas-liquid separator 520, valve seat 530, and sensor seat 540 are welded to the flow channel section 100 via furnace welding. This ensures weld strength, guaranteeing that the weld strength can withstand the pressure of the high-pressure fluid when high-pressure fluid flows through the flow channel section 100. Simultaneously, it also ensures the sealing performance between the gas-liquid separator 520, valve seat 530, and sensor seat 540 and the flow channel section 100. When flammable or explosive fluids flow through the flow channel section 100, this sealing performance reduces the possibility of leakage and improves the thermal management component 1000.

[0063] Step 1.4: The flow channel 100 and the compressor housing 200 are welded together by laser welding.

[0064] In this step, laser welding can reduce the possibility of deformation of the compressor housing 200 while ensuring welding strength and sealing, and improve the qualification rate of the thermal management component 1000 finished product.

[0065] In this application, the "connection" between two components can be a direct connection or a connection via a pipeline. The two components may only have a pipeline between them, or they may have a valve or other component in addition to a pipeline. Similarly, the "connection" between two components in this application can be a direct connection or a connection via a pipeline.
