Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and in particular to a front-end cooling module and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] Vehicle radiators generally achieve heat dissipation and cooling by allowing coolant, such as water, to flow through the radiator core, absorbing the heat generated by the vehicle, and then dissipating the heat into the air to cool it down. After long-term use, the coolant may corrode the heat dissipation components, produce precipitation to block the heat dissipation pipes, and affect the heat dissipation performance. At this time, you need to open the radiator drain valve and drain the coolant to facilitate radiator maintenance.
[0003] In hybrid vehicles, there are generally low-temperature radiators, high-temperature radiators and other components to dissipate heat for media with different heat dissipation requirements; multiple radiators are large in size, and in order to ensure heat dissipation efficiency, they will occupy the limited space of the entire vehicle.
[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present application provides a front-end cooling module and a vehicle to solve the technical problem that the existing cooling module occupies a large space.
[0006] The utility model provides a front-end cooling module in the first aspect, comprising: a first heat dissipation component, a second heat dissipation component and a manifold; the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component are arranged face to face, and the manifold is affixed to the end surfaces of the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component; a partition is arranged in the manifold to separate the interior of the manifold into a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity is connected to the first heat dissipation component, and the second cavity is connected to the second heat dissipation component, so that the heat dissipation medium can be introduced into the first heat dissipation component or the second heat dissipation component through the manifold.
[0007] In this solution, the space occupied by the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component can be saved by arranging the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component face to face. The manifold is used to introduce the heat dissipation medium. By attaching the manifold to the end faces of the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component and arranging a partition inside the manifold, the heat dissipation medium flowing into the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component respectively can be separated to avoid mixing of the two. The partition separates them into two cavities, so that the entire cooling module has a compact structure and occupies a small space, which is conducive to achieving efficient heat dissipation in a limited space.
[0008] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the manifold includes a first manifold and a second manifold, and the partition includes a first partition and a second partition; the first partition is arranged in the first manifold to divide the interior of the first manifold into a first liquid inlet chamber and a second liquid outlet chamber, the first liquid inlet chamber is connected to the first heat dissipation component, and the second liquid outlet chamber is connected to the second heat dissipation component; the second partition is arranged in the second manifold to divide the interior of the second manifold into a first liquid outlet chamber and a second liquid inlet chamber, the first liquid outlet chamber is connected to the first heat dissipation component, and the second liquid inlet chamber is connected to the second heat dissipation component.
[0009] In this scheme, the first header and the second header and the first partition and the second partition are arranged to separate the interior of the first header and the second header into different chambers, namely the first liquid inlet chamber, the second liquid outlet chamber, the first liquid outlet chamber and the second liquid inlet chamber, thereby achieving fine control of the fluid flow. In this way, the flow path of the fluid between the heat dissipation components can be more effectively regulated. The partition design can ensure that the fluid flows evenly between the heat dissipation components, avoid local accumulation of heat, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, through the arrangement of the first header and the second header, the inflow and outflow of the fluid can be controlled separately, so that the heat dissipation medium can effectively transfer heat in the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component. The partition design inside the header makes the entire front-end cooling module structure more stable, avoids the situation where the heat dissipation effect is reduced due to fluid mixing or crossing, and ensures the stability and reliability of the heat dissipation system.
[0010] In a further solution of the utility model, the first heat dissipation component has the same structure as the second heat dissipation component, and the first heat dissipation component includes a flat tube and a plurality of fins, the flat tube is zigzagly arranged and penetrates the fin arrangement, the flat tube connects the first liquid inlet cavity and the first liquid outlet cavity, and the plurality of fins are arranged in parallel.
[0011] In this solution, since the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component have the same structure, they have the same heat dissipation performance, ensuring uniform heat dissipation effect in different parts of the entire front-end cooling module. Through the flat tube and multiple parallel fins, the heat transfer characteristics of the fluid in the two heat dissipation components are unified, making the flow performance of the cooling fluid in the entire heat dissipation system more stable and improving the uniformity of heat transfer. Due to the same structure, a unified manufacturing process and process parameters can be used to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
[0012] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the front-end cooling module further includes a first medium inlet and a first medium outlet, wherein the first medium inlet is arranged on the first header and communicates with the first liquid inlet cavity, and the first medium outlet is arranged on the second header and communicates with the first liquid outlet cavity.
[0013] In this solution, the inflow and outflow of the first medium (such as coolant) can be controlled by setting the first medium inlet and the first medium outlet, so as to realize the circulation of the fluid in the front-end cooling module. This helps to maintain the fluid circulation inside the heat dissipation system and maintain the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0014] In a further solution of the utility model, the front-end cooling module also includes a second medium inlet and a second medium outlet, the second medium inlet is arranged on the second header and connected to the second liquid inlet cavity, and the second medium outlet is arranged on the second header and connected to the second liquid outlet cavity.
[0015] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the first medium inlet is arranged at the upper end of the first header, and the second medium outlet is arranged at the lower end of the first header; the second medium inlet is arranged at the upper end of the second header, and the first medium outlet is arranged at the lower end of the second header.
[0016] In this solution, the first medium inlet, the first medium outlet, the second medium inlet and the second medium outlet are staggered to avoid interference in heat dissipation between the two. The first medium inlet and the second medium inlet are located above the first medium outlet and the second medium outlet to avoid affecting the heat dissipation of two different heat dissipation components.
[0017] In a further solution of the utility model, the distance between the first medium inlet and the first medium outlet in the extension direction of the manifold is smaller than the distance between the second medium inlet and the second medium outlet in the extension direction of the manifold, and the heat dissipation temperature of the first heat dissipation component is higher than the heat dissipation temperature of the second heat dissipation component.
[0018] In this solution, since the spacing between the first medium inlet and outlet is smaller, relative to the second medium inlet and outlet, this may cause the flow path of the first medium in the first heat dissipation component to be more concentrated, which helps to provide more cooling effect in this area. The heat dissipation temperature of the first heat dissipation component is higher than that of the second heat dissipation component, indicating that the first medium has absorbed more heat after passing through the first heat dissipation component, and therefore may have a higher cooling effect when flowing through the second heat dissipation component, which helps to balance the temperature difference between the two heat dissipation components.
[0019] In a further solution of the present invention, the front-end cooling module further includes a plurality of mounting brackets, and at least one mounting bracket is disposed on the first header and the second header.
[0020] In this solution, the first heat dissipation assembly and the second heat dissipation assembly can be installed at appropriate positions in the vehicle through a plurality of mounting brackets, thereby improving the stability of the front-end cooling assembly.
[0021] In a further solution of the utility model, the front-end cooling module also includes a wind shield and a fan, the fan is arranged in the wind shield, and the mounting bracket is connected to the wind shield.
[0022] In this solution, by setting up a fan, the air flow near the front-end cooling module can be enhanced, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component. The wind shield can prevent the influence of external cavity flow on the airflow generated by the fan.
[0023] A second aspect of the utility model provides a vehicle, comprising the front-end cooling module provided by the first aspect of the utility model.
[0024] In summary, the front-end cooling module and the vehicle provided by the present application have at least the following beneficial effects:
[0025] By arranging the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component face to face, the space occupied by the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component can be saved. The manifold is used to introduce the heat dissipation medium. By attaching the manifold to the end faces of the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component and arranging a partition inside the manifold, the heat dissipation medium flowing into the first heat dissipation component and the second heat dissipation component respectively can be separated to avoid mixing of the two. The partition separates them into two cavities, so that the entire cooling module has a compact structure and occupies a small space, which is conducive to achieving efficient heat dissipation in a limited space.

[0040] In this solution, the space occupied by the first heat dissipation component 100 and the second heat dissipation component 200 can be saved by arranging the first heat dissipation component 100 and the second heat dissipation component 200 face to face. The manifold is used to introduce the heat dissipation medium. By attaching the manifold to the end faces of the first heat dissipation component 100 and the second heat dissipation component 200 and arranging a partition inside the manifold, the heat dissipation medium flowing into the first heat dissipation component 100 and the second heat dissipation component 200 respectively can be separated to avoid mixing of the two. The partition separates them into two cavities, so that the entire cooling module has a compact structure and occupies a small space, which is conducive to achieving efficient heat dissipation in a limited space.
[0041] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the manifold includes a first manifold 300 and a second manifold 400, and the partition includes a first partition 710 and a second partition 720; the first partition 710 is arranged in the first manifold 300 to divide the interior of the first manifold 300 into a first liquid inlet chamber (not marked in the figure) and a second liquid outlet chamber (not marked in the figure), the first liquid inlet chamber is connected to the first heat dissipation component 100, and the second liquid outlet chamber is connected to the second heat dissipation component 200; the second partition 720 is arranged in the second manifold 400 to divide the interior of the second manifold 400 into a first liquid outlet chamber (not marked in the figure) and a second liquid inlet chamber (not marked in the figure), the first liquid outlet chamber is connected to the first heat dissipation component 100, and the second liquid inlet chamber is connected to the second heat dissipation component 200.
[0042] In this scheme, by setting the first manifold 300 and the second manifold 400 and the first partition 710 and the second partition 720, the interior of the first manifold 300 and the second manifold 400 are divided into different chambers, namely the first liquid inlet chamber, the second liquid outlet chamber, the first liquid outlet chamber and the second liquid inlet chamber, so as to achieve fine control of the fluid flow. In this way, the flow path of the fluid between the heat dissipation components can be more effectively regulated. The separation design can ensure that the fluid flows evenly between the heat dissipation components, avoid local accumulation of heat, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, by setting the first manifold 300 and the second manifold 400, the inflow and outflow of the fluid can be controlled respectively, so that the heat dissipation medium can effectively transfer heat in the first heat dissipation component 100 and the second heat dissipation component 200. The partition design inside the manifold makes the entire front-end cooling module structure more stable, avoids the situation where the heat dissipation effect is reduced due to fluid mixing or crossing, and ensures the stability and reliability of the heat dissipation system.
[0043] The first cavity includes a first liquid inlet cavity and a first liquid outlet cavity, and the second cavity includes a second liquid inlet cavity and a second liquid outlet cavity.
[0044] In a further solution of the present invention, the first heat dissipation component 100 and the second heat dissipation component 200 have the same structure.

The flat tube is zigzagly arranged and penetrates the fin arrangement. The flat tube connects the first liquid inlet cavity and the first liquid outlet cavity, and the plurality of fins are arranged in parallel.
[0045] In this solution, since the first heat dissipation component 100 and the second heat dissipation component 200 have the same structure, they have the same heat dissipation performance, ensuring uniform heat dissipation effect in different parts of the entire front-end cooling module. Through the flat tube and multiple parallel fins, the heat transfer characteristics of the fluid in the two heat dissipation components are unified, making the flow performance of the cooling fluid in the entire heat dissipation system more stable and improving the uniformity of heat transfer. Due to the same structure, a unified manufacturing process and process parameters can be used to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.

[0047] In this solution, the inflow and outflow of the first medium (e.g., coolant) can be controlled by setting the first medium inlet 520 and the first medium outlet 540, thereby realizing the circulation of the fluid in the front-end cooling module. This helps to maintain the fluid circulation inside the heat dissipation system and maintain the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0050] In this solution, the first medium inlet 520, the first medium outlet 540, the second medium inlet 510 and the second medium outlet 530 are staggered to avoid interference in heat dissipation between the two. The first medium inlet 520 and the second medium inlet 510 are located above the first medium outlet 540 and the second medium outlet 530 to avoid affecting the heat dissipation of two different heat dissipation components.

[0052] In this solution, since the spacing between the first medium inlet 520 and the outlet is smaller than that between the second medium inlet 510 and the outlet, this may cause the flow path of the first medium in the first heat dissipation component 100 to be more concentrated, which helps to provide more cooling effect in this area. The heat dissipation temperature of the first heat dissipation component 100 is higher than that of the second heat dissipation component 200, indicating that the first medium has absorbed more heat after passing through the first heat dissipation component 100, and therefore may have a higher cooling effect when flowing through the second heat dissipation component 200, which helps to balance the temperature difference between the two heat dissipation components.
