Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of thermal management technology, such as thermal management technology for automotive, commercial, residential or energy storage applications, and in particular to an integrated module. Background Technology

[0002] In thermal management systems, liquid receivers and heat exchangers are typically integrated on a flow channel plate. The integrated agent-side components are fixedly connected to the compressor via the flow channel plate, meaning the compressor is fixed to the flow channel plate. This requires high precision in machining the external interface connecting the flow channel plate and the compressor. Alternatively, the integrated agent-side components may be connected to the compressor via pipelines, resulting in a relatively complex structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an integrated module to address the above problems, making the structure of the integrated module relatively simple.

[0004] The technical solution of this application provides an integrated module, including a compressor, a first heat exchanger, and a second heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is fixedly connected to the compressor, and the second heat exchanger is fixedly connected to the compressor. The first heat exchanger includes a first interface, and the second heat exchanger includes a second interface. The compressor includes an exhaust port and an intake port. The first interface is directly connected to the exhaust port and is sealed, and the second interface is directly connected to the intake port and is sealed.

[0005] The technical solution of this application provides an integrated module. The compressor includes an exhaust port and an intake port. A first interface is directly connected to the exhaust port and is sealed, and a second interface is directly connected to the intake port and is also sealed. This direct connection reduces the refrigerant flow path, thus reducing the volume of refrigerant required in the integrated module. Furthermore, the first and second heat exchangers are fixedly connected to the compressor. The first heat exchanger has only one interface, i.e., the first interface is directly connected to the compressor, and the second heat exchanger has only one interface, i.e., the second interface is directly connected to the compressor. This eliminates the need to consider machining errors caused by the relative positions of the two interfaces on a single component, resulting in relatively lower manufacturing requirements.

[0015] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific technical solutions. The terms “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions in the accompanying drawings; the terms “bottom surface,” “top surface,” “inner,” and “outer” refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0016] It should be understood that although various information may be described using terms such as "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" in this application, this information should not be limited to these descriptions. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. "Multiple" means two or more. Where there is no conflict, the features of the various technical solutions in this application can complement or replace each other.

[0017] The integrated module of this application can be implemented in various ways. At least one of these implementations can be applied to a vehicle thermal management system, and at least one of these implementations can be applied to other thermal management systems such as a residential thermal management system or a commercial thermal management system. The following description uses an integrated module for vehicles as an example, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Combination Figure 1-7 The integrated module includes a compressor 10, a first heat exchanger 20A, and a second heat exchanger 20B. The first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B are fixedly connected to the compressor 10. The fixing methods include welding, bonding, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​fixing, or a combination of two or more of these. In this embodiment, the compressor 10 serves as the carrier, and the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B are respectively fixed to the compressor 10. The first heat exchanger 20A includes a first interface 211, and the second heat exchanger 20B includes a second interface 221. The compressor 10 includes an exhaust port 111 and an intake port 121. The first interface 211 is directly connected to the exhaust port 111 and is sealed, and the second interface 221 is directly connected to the intake port 121 and is sealed. The aforementioned direct connection means that there is no intermediate connection through a third party such as a pipeline or connecting block. In related technologies, heat exchangers are typically fixed to a refrigerant-side flow channel plate, and the compressor is connected to the flow channel of the refrigerant-side flow channel plate via a pipeline. Alternatively, the compressor may also be integrated and fixed to the refrigerant-side flow channel plate, with the compressor connected to the flow channel of the refrigerant-side flow channel plate, meaning the refrigerant-side flow channel plate serves as the carrier for the heat exchanger and compressor. In this application, the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B are respectively fixed to the compressor 10, with the first heat exchanger 20A directly connected to the exhaust port 111 of the compressor 10, and the second heat exchanger 20B directly connected to the inlet port of the compressor 10. This eliminates the need for pipeline connections, resulting in a more compact structure. Furthermore, the elimination of the refrigerant-side flow channel plate reduces weight. The direct connection method reduces the refrigerant flow path, thereby relatively reducing the volume of refrigerant required in the integrated module. Meanwhile, in related technologies, the agent-side flow channel plate has external interfaces that communicate with the compressor's exhaust port and intake port. The two external interfaces are matched and sealed to the compressor's exhaust port and intake port, respectively. This requires high precision in machining the relative positions of the two external interfaces and the relative positions of the compressor's exhaust port and intake port. In this application, the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B are fixedly connected to the compressor 10. The first heat exchanger 20A has only one interface, namely the first interface 211, which is directly connected to the compressor 10. The second heat exchanger 20B has only one interface, namely the second interface 221, which is directly connected to the compressor 10. Therefore, there is no need to consider the machining error caused by the relative positions of the two external interfaces on a single part, and the manufacturing requirements are relatively low.

[0019] In this embodiment, a first direction and a first plane are defined. The first direction is the stacking direction of the plates of the first heat exchanger 20A. The first plane is perpendicular to the first direction. The first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B are arranged on the same side of the compressor 10. The stacking direction of the plates of the first heat exchanger 20A is the same as the stacking direction of the plates of the second heat exchanger 20B. The projections of the first heat exchanger 20A, the second heat exchanger 20B, and the compressor 10 on the first plane at least partially overlap. That is, the positions of the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B are reasonably arranged so that the projections of the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B on the first plane coincide with the projection of the compressor 10 on the first plane, making the integrated module structure more compact and making full use of space. The first heat exchanger 20A includes a first interface 211 and a third interface 231. The first interface 211 is located on the end plate of the first heat exchanger 20A, and the third interface 231 is located on the other end plate of the first heat exchanger 20A. That is, the first interface 211 is positioned facing the compressor 10, and the third interface 231 is positioned away from the compressor 10. The first heat exchanger 20A includes a refrigerant passage that connects the first interface 211 and the third interface 231. The first interface 211 is directly connected to and sealed to the exhaust port 111 of the compressor 10. Specifically, the first heat exchanger 20A includes a first interface portion 21. The first interface 211 is located in the first interface portion 21 and protrudes from the end plate of the first heat exchanger 20A. At least a portion of the first interface portion 21 is located in the first channel 112 forming the exhaust port 111, and the first interface portion 21 is radially sealed to the wall forming the first channel 112. The first interface portion 21 has a generally tubular structure. The exhaust port portion 11 of the compressor 10 includes a first channel 112, that is, the exhaust port 111 is the port of the first channel 112. The first channel 112 communicates with the inner cavity of the compressor 10. The integrated module includes a seal 70. Along the radial direction of the first channel 112, the seal 70 is located between the wall forming the first channel 112 and the outer wall of the first interface portion 21. At least one of the inner wall of the exhaust port portion 11 and the outer wall of the first interface portion 21 forms a groove. Along the radial direction of the first channel 112, the first interface portion 21 forms a groove, and the opening of the groove... The wall forming the first channel 112 and the wall forming the first channel 112 cooperate to form a sealing cavity, and the sealing element 70 is pressed into the sealing groove; or the groove is formed on the inner wall of the exhaust port 11, the opening of the groove faces the outer wall of the first interface 21, the wall forming the groove and the outer wall of the first interface 21 cooperate to form a sealing cavity, and the sealing element 70 is pressed into the sealing cavity; or both the inner wall of the exhaust port 111 and the outer wall of the first interface 21 have grooves, the two grooves cooperate to form a sealing cavity, and the sealing element 70 is pressed into the sealing cavity, thereby reducing the leakage of refrigerant from the gap between the two.Of course, in some embodiments, the exhaust port 11 of the compressor 10 can be inserted into the first interface 211 of the first heat exchanger 20A for a sealed connection. Specifically, the compressor 10 includes an exhaust port 11, with an exhaust port 111 located within it. The exhaust port 11 protrudes from the outer wall of the compressor 10, and at least a portion of the exhaust port 11 is located within the first channel forming the first interface 211. That is, the first interface 211 is a port forming the first channel, which communicates with the refrigerant passage of the first heat exchanger 20A. The exhaust port 11 is radially sealed to the wall forming the first channel. The sealing method is the same as or similar to the sealing method described above and will not be specifically described. In other embodiments, the first interface 21 of the first heat exchanger 20A and the exhaust port 11 of the compressor 10 are sealed at their end faces. That is, at least one of the ends of the first interface 21 and the exhaust port 11 has a groove, and the sealing member 70 is pressed into the groove to form a seal.

[0020] The second heat exchanger 20B includes a second interface 221 and a fourth interface 241. The second interface 221 is located on the end plate of the second heat exchanger 20B, and the fourth interface 241 is located on the other end plate of the first heat exchanger 20A. That is, the second interface 221 is set towards the compressor 10, and the fourth interface 241 is set away from the compressor 10. The second heat exchanger 20B includes a refrigerant passage. The refrigerant passage of the second heat exchanger 20B connects the second interface 221 and the fourth interface 241. The second interface 221 is directly connected to the suction port 121 of the compressor 10 and is sealed. Specifically, the second heat exchanger 20B includes a second interface portion 22, a second interface 221 located at the second interface portion 22, the second interface portion 22 protruding from the end plate of the second heat exchanger 20B, at least a portion of the second interface portion 22 located in the second channel 122 forming the suction port 121, and the second interface portion 22 radially sealed to the wall forming the second channel 122; or, the compressor 10 includes a suction port portion 12, a suction port 121 located at the suction port portion 12, at least a portion of the suction port portion 12 located in the second channel forming the second interface 221, and the suction port portion 12 sealed to the wall forming the second channel; or, the second heat exchanger 20B includes a second interface portion 22, a second interface 221 located at the second interface portion 22, and the compressor 10 includes a discharge port portion 11, a discharge port 111 located at the discharge port portion 11, and the end faces of the second interface portion 22 and the discharge port 111 are sealed to each other. The connection structure and method between the second heat exchanger 20B and the suction port 121 of the compressor 10 are the same as or similar to the connection structure and method between the first heat exchanger 20A and the discharge port 111 of the compressor 10, and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] In the above embodiments, the compressor 10 and the heat exchanger 20 are sealed together by forming a sealing member 70. In other embodiments, the first heat exchanger 20A has a first interface portion 21 forming a first interface 211, the second heat exchanger 20B has a second interface portion 22 forming a second interface 221, and the compressor 10 has an exhaust port portion 11 forming an exhaust port 111 and an intake port portion 12 forming an intake port 121. The first interface portion 21 is disposed opposite to the exhaust port portion 11 and welded to it, and the second interface portion 22 is disposed opposite to the intake port portion 12 and welded to it. By using welding to form a seal, the heat exchanger 20 can be fixed to the compressor 10, and the heat exchanger 20 and the compressor 10 can be sealed together, making the manufacturing relatively simple.

[0022] The integrated module also includes a liquid receiver 30, which is fixedly connected to the compressor 10. The liquid receiver 30 is located on the same side as the first heat exchanger 20A and along the length of the compressor 10. The liquid receiver 30 is located between the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B. The projections of the first heat exchanger 20A, the second heat exchanger 20B, the liquid receiver 30, and the compressor 10 on the first plane at least partially overlap. The goal is to make the projections of the first heat exchanger 20A, the second heat exchanger 20B, and the liquid receiver 30 on the first plane coincide with the projection of the compressor 10 on the first plane, so that the structure of the integrated module is more compact and space is fully utilized. The liquid reservoir 30 includes a housing 31 and a cover 32, which are fixedly connected and sealed at the connection. The housing 31 and the cover 32 cooperate to form a liquid storage chamber 301 of the liquid reservoir 30. The housing 31 includes a first connection port 33 and a second connection port 34. The first connection port 33 is directly connected to the liquid storage chamber 301. Direct connection means that a through channel is formed on the cover 32 along the thickness direction of the cover 32, and the opening of the through channel to the outside is the first connection port 33; or the cover 32 covers... The system includes a flow channel 302, with a portion of the flow channel 302 connecting the first connection port 33 and the liquid storage chamber 301, and another portion connecting the flow channel 302 connecting the second connection port 34 and the liquid storage chamber 301. Specifically, the cover 32 has a block-shaped structure, and the flow channel 302 connecting the liquid storage chamber 301, the first connection port 33, and the second connection port 34 is machined onto the cover 32. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover 32 can also be formed by stacking two or more plates, with the two or more plates enclosing to form the aforementioned flow channel 302. The integrated module includes a first connecting pipe 41 and a second connecting pipe 42. The first connecting pipe 41 connects the third interface 231 and the first connection port 33, and the second connecting pipe 42 connects the fourth interface 241 and the second connection port 34. In this application, the liquid storage tank 30 and the heat exchanger 20 are flexibly connected by the connecting pipe 40, and the connecting pipe 40 can be bent according to actual needs, possessing a certain degree of flexibility. The accuracy requirements for the relative position of the two connected interfaces are low, which is more conducive to manufacturing. In this embodiment, the liquid reservoir 30 has a cylindrical structure. The axial direction of the liquid reservoir 30 is parallel to the length direction of the first heat exchanger 20A or the second heat exchanger 20B. The liquid reservoir 30 is located between the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B. At least a portion of the first connecting pipe 41 is located in the gap between the first heat exchanger 20A and the liquid reservoir 30, and at least a portion of the second connecting pipe 42 is located in the gap between the second heat exchanger 20B and the liquid reservoir 30. The connecting pipe 40 has high plasticity and can be placed in the gap between adjacent thermal management components in the integrated module, making the structure of the integrated module more compact and facilitating the miniaturization of the integrated module.In this embodiment, the second interface 221 of the first heat exchanger 20A and the fourth interface 241 of the second heat exchanger 20B are positioned away from the compressor 10. In other embodiments, the second interface 221 of the first heat exchanger 20A and the fourth interface 241 of the second heat exchanger 20B are positioned towards the compressor 10. Part of the first connecting pipe 41 is located in the gap between the compressor 10 and the first heat exchanger 20A, and part of the second connecting pipe 42 is located in the gap between the compressor 10 and the second heat exchanger 20B. In short, the connecting pipe 40 can be placed in the gap reserved in the integrated module, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the integrated module.

[0023] The interface between the connecting pipe 40 and the heat exchanger 20 is welded and fixed or detachably fixed through the adapter block 43. The adapter block 43 has a connecting channel communicating with the connecting pipe 40. The end of the connecting pipe 40 is inserted into the adapter block 43 and welded and fixed to the adapter block 43. The adapter block 43 has a through hole. The heat exchanger 20 or the liquid reservoir 30 is provided with a threaded hole at the relative position. Fasteners pass through the through hole and are fixed in the threaded hole, thereby connecting the connecting pipe 40 and the heat exchanger 20 or the liquid reservoir 30. The aforementioned connector 40 includes a first connector 41 and a second connector 42. In this embodiment, the first connector 41 and the second connector 42 are two independent connectors 40, each connected to different interfaces. Specifically, one end of the first connector 41 is welded and fixed to the third interface 231, or threadedly fixed by the adapter block 43, with a sealed connection. The other end of the first connector 41 is welded and fixed to the first connection port 33 forming the first connection port 33, or threadedly fixed by the adapter block 43, with a sealed connection. One end of the second connector 42 is welded and fixed to the fourth interface 241, or threadedly fixed by the adapter block 43, with a sealed connection. The other end of the second connector 42 is welded and fixed to the second connection port 34 forming the second connection port 34, or threadedly fixed by the adapter block 43, with a sealed connection. The welding method eliminates the need for a sealing ring, providing both connection and sealing. The threaded fixing method allows for detachable connection, facilitating future replacement and maintenance. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connector 41 and the second connector 42 may also be connected.

[0024] The integrated module also includes a valve component 50. The cover 32 includes a mounting cavity 321, the axis of which is parallel to the stacking direction of the first heat exchanger 20A plates. At least the valve component 50 is located in the mounting cavity 321, and the valve component 50 is fixedly or limitedly connected to the cover 32. The cover 32 includes a flow channel 302, and the mounting cavity 321 communicates with the liquid storage cavity 301 through a portion of the flow channel 302. The mounting cavity 321 also communicates with the refrigerant channel of the second heat exchanger 20B through a portion of the flow channel 302. In this application, the axis of the mounting cavity 321 is the same as the stacking direction of the first heat exchanger 20A plates, that is, the mounting direction of the valve component 50 is the same as the stacking direction of the first heat exchanger 20A plates. The valve mounting portion on the cover 32 is located close to the compressor 10, and the end of the valve mounting portion has a certain space with the end plate of the first heat exchanger 20A away from the compressor 10. This space is used to house the valve component 50, further reducing the volume of the integrated module.

[0025] In this embodiment, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant enters the heat exchange channel of the first heat exchanger 20A through the exhaust port 111 and the first interface 211 of the first heat exchanger 20A. After heat exchange, it enters the first pipe 41 through the third interface 231 and then the liquid storage chamber 301 through the first connection port 33. After drying, the refrigerant is throttled by the valve component 50. The medium-temperature, medium-pressure refrigerant then enters the compressor 10 through the second pipe 42, the fourth interface 241 of the second heat exchanger 20B, and the heat exchange channel of the second heat exchanger 20B. Finally, it enters the compressor 10 through the second interface 221 of the second heat exchanger 20B and the suction port 121 of the compressor 10. With the popularization of new energy vehicles, people are pursuing an economical and environmentally friendly refrigerant. R290 refrigerant is gradually entering the thermal management of the automotive field. R290 refrigerant has characteristics such as flammability, so it is necessary to limit the amount of refrigerant added to meet safety performance requirements. To meet the needs, the refrigerant-side module will be relatively simple. In the embodiments of this application, the heat exchanger 20 and the liquid receiver 30 are respectively fixed to the compressor 10. With the compressor 10 as the carrier, the heat exchanger 20 is directly connected to the compressor 10, eliminating the need for pipelines and refrigerant-side flow channels, thus reducing the amount of refrigerant required. Furthermore, the liquid receiver 30 is located between the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B, and the valve component 50 is integrated on the liquid receiver 30, which relatively reduces the length of the connecting pipe 40, thereby reducing the amount of refrigerant required. Under the premise of meeting performance requirements, the structure and layout of the refrigerant-side module can be optimized as much as possible to reduce the amount of refrigerant required and meet safety standards.

[0026] The integrated module also includes a water-side component 60, which is fixedly connected to the compressor 10. The water-side component 60 and the heat exchanger 20 are located on different sides of the compressor 10. The compressor 10 includes a coolant passage 13, which is formed in the casing of the compressor 10. The heat exchanger 20 includes a coolant channel, and the coolant passage 13 connects the coolant channel to the coolant flow channel of the water-side component 60. The compressor 10 has a coolant passage 13, meaning that the casing of the compressor 10 has a passage for coolant flow, and the coolant passage 13 of the compressor 10 is not connected to the inner cavity of the compressor 10. The heat exchanger 20 has a coolant channel and a refrigerant channel, and the coolant channel and the refrigerant channel are capable of heat exchange. In related technologies, the water-side component 60 and the agent-side component are respectively fixed on the compressor 10. The water-side component 60 and the agent-side component are connected through pipelines, or the agent-side component and the water-side component 60 are fixedly connected, and the agent-side component is connected to the compressor 10 through pipelines. The structure is relatively complex. In this application, the water-side component 60 and the heat exchanger 20 are located on different sides of the compressor 10. The compressor 10 serves as the carrier for the water-side component 60 and the heat exchanger 20. The connection between the water-side component 60 and the heat exchanger 20 is through the coolant passage 13 of the compressor 10. The structure is relatively simple and is conducive to the miniaturization of the integrated module. In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 20 and the water-side component 60 are located on different sides of the heat exchanger 20, and the water-side component 60 is arranged along the length direction of the compressor 10. A first plane is defined, which is parallel to the length direction of the compressor 10, that is, the first plane is perpendicular to the direction of the heat exchanger 20 plate stack. The projections of the water-side component 60, the compressor 10, and the heat exchanger 20 on the first plane at least partially overlap. The compressor 10 is located between the water-side assembly 60 and the heat exchanger 20, which brings the center of gravity of the entire module closer to its geometric center, improving the reliability of the installation and enhancing the vibration reduction performance to a certain extent.

[0027] In the embodiments of this application, the heat exchanger 20 includes two, namely the first heat exchanger 20A and the second heat exchanger 20B as described above. The coolant passage 13 includes a first coolant passage 131, a second coolant passage 132, a third coolant passage, and a fourth coolant passage. The first coolant passage 131 is connected to the outlet of the coolant channel of the first heat exchanger 20A, the third coolant passage is connected to the inlet of the coolant channel of the first heat exchanger 20A, the second coolant passage 132 is connected to the outlet of the coolant channel of the second heat exchanger 20B, and the fourth coolant passage is connected to the inlet of the coolant channel of the second heat exchanger 20B. The compressor 10 includes a first region D and a second region E, wherein the first region D is closer to the exhaust port 111 of the compressor 10 relative to the second region E. The first coolant passage 131 is located in the first region D, and the second coolant passage 132 is located in the second region E. The first heat exchanger 20A is connected to the exhaust port 111 of the compressor 10, and the second heat exchanger 20B is connected to the intake port 121 of the compressor 10. Since the temperature of the first region D is higher than that of the second region E, the refrigerant passage of the first heat exchanger 20A exchanges heat with its coolant passage. Specifically, the coolant passage of the first heat exchanger 20A absorbs the heat from the refrigerant in the refrigerant passage of the first heat exchanger 20A. The coolant in the first heat exchanger 20A, having absorbed heat, flows through the first coolant passage 131 in the relatively high-temperature first region D and then enters the water-side assembly 60. Similarly, the refrigerant passage of the second heat exchanger 20B exchanges heat with its coolant passage. Specifically, the coolant passage of the second heat exchanger 20B releases heat to the refrigerant in the refrigerant passage of the second heat exchanger 20B. The coolant in the second heat exchanger 20B, having released heat, flows through the second coolant passage 132 in the relatively low-temperature second region E and then enters the water-side assembly 60. This arrangement reduces heat loss and harmful heat transfer.

[0028] While the refrigerant-side components of the integrated module are relatively simple, the water-side component 60 is relatively complex. In this embodiment, the water-side component 60 includes a flow channel plate and a fluid control element. The fluid control element is fixedly or limit-connected to the flow channel plate. The fluid control element includes at least one of a water valve and a pump. The coolant flow channel is located on the flow channel plate, which is threadedly connected to the compressor 10. The flow channel plate includes an external interface portion forming the port of the coolant flow channel. The compressor 10 includes an opening 14 forming the coolant passage 13. The external interface portion and the end face of the opening 14 are sealed together. The flow channel plate includes multiple coolant flow channels, some of which are connected to the water valve. The water valve can change the flow path of the coolant to adapt to different operating modes. Some of the coolant flow channels are connected to the pump, which provides power for the flow of coolant. The flow channel plate has an external interface portion that communicates with other thermal management components. The external interface portion has an external interface, and some of the external interface portions are connected to the coolant passage 13. The opening 14 of the compressor 10 is sealed to the outer interface end face of the water-side assembly 60, that is, the seal 70 is pressed between the opening 14 and the outer interface to form a seal.
