DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include plural forms. The terms "comprise", "include", and "have" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0036] Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used in the text to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may only be used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms do not imply order or sequence when used in the text. In addition, in the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.

Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The mechanism may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text are interpreted accordingly.

[0038] Combine the following Figures 1 to 10 A specific embodiment of the expansion kettle is described in detail.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 7In a first aspect, the present application provides an expansion kettle 100, which includes a kettle body 110 and a guide assembly 120; the kettle body 110 has an exhaust port on its upper side, and the kettle body 110 has multiple chambers inside, all of which are connected to the exhaust port, and the lower sides of the multiple chambers are respectively provided with liquid replenishment ports; the guide assembly 120 is arranged in at least part of the chamber, and the guide assembly 120 is located between the exhaust port and the liquid replenishment port; the guide assembly 120 includes a cover pressing member 121 and a sealing body 122, the cover pressing member 121 is connected to the inner wall of the chamber, and the cover pressing member 121 has a guide hole d, the sealing body 122 is arranged below the cover pressing member 121, and the sealing body 122 can block the guide hole d; wherein, the kettle body 110 is filled with coolant, the liquid level of the coolant is at least higher than the cover pressing member 121, the sealing body 122 floats between the guide hole d and the liquid replenishment port, and the density of the coolant vapor is ρ 1 <Density ρ of the sealing body 122 2 <Coolant density ρ 3 .

[0040] Specifically, the expansion kettle 100 provided by the present application has at least the following advantages:

[0041] In the present application, the expansion kettle 100 is provided with a guide assembly 120 in part or all of the chamber, and the guide assembly 120 divides the chamber into upper and lower parts by a cover pressing piece 121, and the guide assembly 120 floats in the coolant through a sealing body 122 to seal the guide hole d on the cover pressing piece 121.

[0042] Further, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , due to the density of coolant vapor ρ 1 <Density ρ of the sealing body 122 2 <Coolant density ρ 3 Therefore, under normal working conditions, the hydraulic pressures on the upper and lower sides of the guide hole d are basically the same, and the sealing body 122 floats up and blocks the guide hole d; when the external system needs to replenish coolant, the hydraulic pressure on the upper side of the guide hole d is greater than the hydraulic pressure on the lower side, so that the coolant rushes through the seal 122 from the top and flows to the liquid replenishment port below, thereby replenishing the external system; when the external system releases heat, causing the coolant to evaporate and turn into steam, the coolant vapor floats to the top of the seal 122 and squeezes the seal 122, thereby converging and reaching a certain air pressure before being discharged from the exhaust port above.

[0043] The present application cooperates with the cover pressing member 121 and the sealing body 122 of the guide component 120 to make the liquid replenishment path and the exhaust path respectively become unidirectional flow, thereby avoiding backflow collision, eliminating the churning and vortex phenomenon in the expansion kettle 100, reducing noise emission, and improving the user's riding experience.

[0044] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The flow guide assembly 120 further includes a spoiler 123, which is vertically distributed above the cover pressing member 121; the spoiler 123 has a plurality of spoilers, which are arranged around the flow guide hole d.

[0045] In this embodiment, the spoiler 123 can further block and limit the tiny liquid tumbling and vortex generated above the cover pressing member 121, thereby achieving a better effect of removing noise and further improving the user experience.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The multiple chambers include a battery cooling system refilling chamber a, a motor cooling system refilling chamber b and an air conditioning system refilling chamber c; the battery cooling system refilling chamber a and the motor cooling system refilling chamber b are arranged in parallel, and the battery cooling system refilling chamber a and the motor cooling system refilling chamber b are respectively provided with a guide component 120; the air conditioning system refilling chamber c is distributed on one side of the battery cooling system refilling chamber a and the motor cooling system refilling chamber b, and the air conditioning system refilling chamber c is provided with a wave-proof pressure plate 160, the wave-proof pressure plate 160 has a connecting hole n, the aperture of the connecting hole n is smaller than the aperture of the guide hole d, and the connecting hole n and the refilling port of the air conditioning system refilling chamber c are staggered in the up and down direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the position distribution between the battery cooling system liquid filling chamber a, the motor cooling system liquid filling chamber b and the air conditioning system liquid filling chamber c makes the structure more compact.

[0048] In addition, the heat exchange between the battery cooling system and the motor cooling system is relatively frequent, so the battery cooling system replenishing chamber a and the motor cooling system replenishing chamber b are respectively provided with a guide component 120 to avoid violent liquid churning and vortex phenomena; while the air-conditioning system, relatively speaking, has a relatively mild heat exchange, and only needs to set up a wave-breaking pressure plate 160 to suppress liquid churning. Moreover, this setting method can also reduce space occupancy and has a reasonable structural design.

[0049] It should be noted that the aperture of the connecting hole n is smaller than that of the guide hole d to avoid excessive backflow and reduce liquid churning and vortex phenomena; the connecting hole n and the liquid replenishment port of the air-conditioning system liquid replenishment chamber c are staggered in the up and down directions, so that the coolant replenished from the top will not directly enter the liquid replenishment port after flowing through the connecting hole n, and the steam coming out of the liquid replenishment port will not directly pass through the connecting hole n. In the middle, it will pass through the buffer in the length direction of the air-conditioning system liquid replenishment chamber c, thereby further reducing the liquid churning and vortex phenomena.

[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2A liquid replenishing tube 130 is provided on the outer wall of the kettle body 110, and a partition is provided inside the liquid replenishing tube 130. The interior of the liquid replenishing tube 130 is divided into at least a first passage e, a second passage f and a third passage g which are isolated from each other through the partition; the first passage e is connected to the liquid replenishing port of the liquid replenishing chamber a of the battery cooling system, the second passage f is connected to the liquid replenishing port of the liquid replenishing chamber b of the motor cooling system, and the third passage g is connected to the liquid replenishing port of the liquid replenishing chamber c of the air conditioning system.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first passage e, the second passage f and the third passage g respectively connected to the three chambers are integrated into the same infusion tube 130, which has a compact structure, occupies a small space and is suitable for vehicle design.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference Fig. 9 The battery cooling system refilling chamber a and the motor cooling system refilling chamber b are arranged at intervals, and the air-conditioning system refilling chamber c extends between the battery cooling system refilling chamber a and the motor cooling system refilling chamber b; the bottom wall of the expansion kettle 100 has an opening area h, and the opening area h spans the battery cooling system refilling chamber a, the motor cooling system refilling chamber b and the air-conditioning system refilling chamber c, and the refilling ports of the battery cooling system refilling chamber a, the motor cooling system refilling chamber b and the air-conditioning system refilling chamber c are all opened in the opening area h, and the opening area h is connected to the refilling tube 130.

[0053] This embodiment is a specific implementation method for realizing compact arrangement of the refilling ports of the battery cooling system refilling chamber a, the motor cooling system refilling chamber b and the air conditioning system refilling chamber c, so as to facilitate communication with the first passage e, the second passage f and the third passage g of the refilling tube 130.

[0054] In particular, the air conditioning system refilling chamber c extends between the battery cooling system refilling chamber a and the motor cooling system refilling chamber b, and the portion of the wave-breaking pressure plate 160 that matches the extended area is the branch plate 161 .

[0055] Furthermore, the corresponding lower part of the branch plate 161 is the liquid filling port of the liquid filling chamber c of the air conditioning system, and a plurality of connecting holes n are arranged at intervals at one end of the wave-proof pressure plate 160 away from the branch plate 161, so as to achieve the vertical misalignment of the connecting holes n and the liquid filling port.

[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 6 The cover pressing member 121 protrudes upward around the guide hole d and forms a curved surface limiting groove i. The sealing body 122 is a spherical structure, and the top of the spherical structure abuts against the curved surface limiting groove i.

[0057] In this embodiment, the spherical structure fits more closely with the curved limiting groove i, and under normal working conditions, the sealing effect is better. Moreover, the curved limiting groove i can also limit the top of the spherical structure to prevent the spherical structure from shaking and running, affecting the sealing effect and causing liquid reflux.

[0058] In some embodiments, the density of the coolant vapor is 1 0.5kg / m 3 Up to 0.8kg / m 3 , the density ρ of the sealing body 122 2 0.9kg / m 3 Up to 0.95kg / m 3 , the density of the coolant ρ 3 1kg / m 3 Up to 1.2kg / m 3 .

[0059] In this embodiment, preferably, the coolant is water, and the density is about 1 kg / cm 3 More preferably, the coolant is a combination of ethylene glycol and water, wherein the volume ratio of ethylene glycol to water is 50% each, and the density is about 1.1132 kg / cm at standard atmospheric pressure. 3 ;

[0060] In addition, the sealing body 122 can be solid or hollow, and the material can be rubber. Specifically, the density of natural rubber is 0.93 kg / cm 3 , the density of isoprene rubber is 0.94kg / cm 3 , the density of styrene-butadiene rubber is 0.94kg / cm 3 .

The above specific implementation methods can all achieve the purpose of observing the coolant level and are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0063] It should be noted that, preferably, the kettle body 110 includes an upper shell 111 and a lower shell 112 that are interlocked, so as to facilitate the installation and maintenance of internal components; the upper shell 111 is provided with a filling port m, and the coolant can be filled into the kettle body 110 from the filling port m; a protrusion is formed at the filling port m, and the protrusion can be threadedly connected to the filling cap 150 to seal the filling port m; an exhaust port can be provided on the side wall of the protrusion, and the exhaust port is connected to an exhaust pipe 140, and an exhaust valve can be provided at the exhaust port.

Therefore, the vehicle thermal management system in the second aspect and the vehicle in the third aspect have at least all the technical effects of the expansion kettle 100 in the first aspect, and the specific technical effects will not be repeated here.

[0067] The embodiments in the present application only illustrate the vehicle thermal management system and the structures in the vehicle related to the improvements of the present application, and do not mean that the vehicle thermal management system in the second aspect of the present application and the vehicle in the third aspect do not have other structures. For example, the vehicle thermal management system also includes a battery cooling system circulating pump, a motor cooling system circulating pump and an air-conditioning system circulating pump, etc. Other structures will not be described one by one here.
