[0032] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A thermal management system 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, and the thermal management system 100 for a vehicle can be applied to a vehicle.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle according to the utility model can mainly include: a plate heat exchanger 1, a battery pack and a first bubble separator 3, wherein the plate heat exchanger 1 has a first water inlet and a first water outlet, and the first water inlet and the first water outlet are connected. Specifically, the heat transfer resistance of the plate heat exchanger 1 is small and the heat transfer area is large. In the embodiment of the utility model, the plate heat exchanger 1 is provided to improve the heat transfer efficiency of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, which is beneficial to improve the thermal management capability of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle. The plate heat exchanger 1 has a first water inlet and a first water outlet, and the first water inlet and the second water outlet 402 are connected, which can ensure that the refrigerant passes through the plate heat exchanger 1 smoothly, and can ensure that the refrigerant in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle passes through the plate heat exchanger 1 smoothly and realizes heat exchange.

[0035] Furthermore, the inlet of the battery pack is connected to the first water outlet, and the outlet of the battery pack is connected to the first water inlet. Specifically, the inlet of the battery pack is connected to the first water outlet, so that the refrigerant flows out of the first water outlet of the plate heat exchanger 1, continues to flow to the inlet of the battery pack, and flows into the battery pack through the inlet of the battery pack, so that the refrigerant after heat exchange by the plate heat exchanger 1 can exchange heat with the battery pack, absorb the heat generated by the battery pack during operation, cool the battery pack, and thus improve the working safety of the battery pack.

[0036] Furthermore, the outlet of the battery pack is connected to the inlet of the battery pack, so that the refrigerant entering the battery pack through the inlet of the battery pack can flow to the outlet of the battery pack, and then can flow out of the battery pack from the outlet of the battery pack to take away and dissipate the heat absorbed by the battery pack. The outlet of the battery pack is connected to the first water inlet of the plate heat exchanger 1, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the battery blocker can flow to the first water inlet, so that the refrigerant can return to the plate heat exchanger 1. Such an arrangement can not only ensure the refrigerant circulation of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, but also bring the heat generated by the battery pack to the plate heat exchanger 1 for dissipation, so as to ensure that the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle can circulate and dissipate the heat of the battery pack.

[0037] Further, the first bubble separator 3 is arranged between the battery pack and the plate heat exchanger 1, and the first bubble separator 3 is arranged between the outlet of the battery pack and the inlet of the plate heat exchanger 1. Specifically, the first bubble separator 3 is arranged on the refrigerant circulation loop of the battery pack and the plate heat exchanger 1. When the refrigerant flows through the first bubble separator 3, the first bubble separator 3 can separate the gas from the liquid in the refrigerant, and can discharge the separated gas, so that the refrigerant circulation loop of the battery pack and the plate heat exchanger 1 can be degassed.

[0038] In addition, the first bubble separator 3 can eliminate the piping structure in the original cold zone system under the premise of ensuring reliable degassing of the refrigerant circulation loop. This not only simplifies the piping layout in the vehicle's thermal management system 100, which is beneficial to saving vehicle space and reducing vehicle manufacturing costs, but also reduces the component connections in the vehicle's thermal management system 100, thereby reducing the leakage points in the vehicle's thermal management system 100 and improving the sealing of the vehicle's thermal management system 100.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle also includes a radiator 4, a motor and a second bubble separator 6, the radiator 4 has a second water inlet 401 and a second water outlet 402, the second water inlet 401 and the second water outlet 402 are connected, the inlet of the motor is connected to the second water outlet 402, the outlet of the motor is connected to the second water inlet 401, the second bubble separator 6 is arranged between the motor and the radiator 4, and the second bubble separator 6 is arranged between the outlet of the motor and the inlet of the radiator 4.

[0040] Specifically, the radiator 4 can dissipate the heat in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle. The second water inlet 401 and the second water outlet 402 in the radiator 4 are connected to ensure the fluidity of the refrigerant in the radiator 4, so that the heat in the refrigerant can be dissipated to the air around the radiator 4 through the radiator 4. The inlet of the motor is connected to the second water outlet 402, so that the refrigerant in the radiator 4 can flow out through the second water outlet 402 and then flow to the motor, and flow into the inside of the motor through the inlet of the motor, so that the refrigerant can absorb the heat generated by the motor during operation to reduce the temperature of the motor, and prevent the motor from overheating and affecting the life and working efficiency of the motor.

[0041] Furthermore, the outlet of the motor is connected to the inlet of the motor, so that the refrigerant flowing into the motor can flow out of the motor from the outlet of the motor, and then the heat generated by the motor can be taken away and dissipated. The outlet of the motor is connected to the second water inlet 401, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the motor can flow back to the radiator 4 through the second water inlet 401. Such a configuration can not only ensure the refrigerant circulation of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, but also bring the heat generated by the motor to the radiator 4 for dissipation, so as to ensure that the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle can circulate and dissipate heat for the motor.

[0042] Furthermore, a second bubble separator 6 is provided in the cooling circulation loop of the motor and the radiator 4, so that the refrigerant in the cooling circulation loop of the motor and the radiator 4 can flow through the second bubble separator 6. The second bubble separator 6 can separate the gas from the liquid in the refrigerant and discharge the separated gas, thereby degassing the refrigerant circulation loop of the motor and the plate heat exchanger 1.

[0043] In addition, the second bubble separator 6 can eliminate the piping structure in the original cold zone system under the premise of ensuring reliable degassing of the refrigerant circulation loop. This not only simplifies the piping layout in the vehicle's thermal management system 100, which is beneficial to saving vehicle space and reducing vehicle manufacturing costs, but also reduces the component connections in the vehicle's thermal management system 100, thereby reducing the leakage points in the vehicle's thermal management system 100 and improving the sealing of the vehicle's thermal management system 100.

[0044] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle's thermal management system 100 also includes a heater core and a third bubble separator 8, the heater core has a third water inlet 701 and a third water outlet 702, the third water inlet 701 and the third water outlet 702 are connected, and the third bubble separator 8 is arranged between the third water inlet 701 and the third water outlet 702.

[0045] Specifically, the warm air core can heat the refrigerant quickly and evenly, and is used for the warm air system of the whole vehicle air conditioner. The third water inlet 701 and the third water outlet 702 of the warm air core are connected, so that the refrigerant can be heated after entering the warm air core, and then flow out through the third water outlet 702. The third bubble separator 8 is arranged between the third water inlet 701 and the third water outlet 702, so that when the refrigerant passes through the third bubble separator 8, the third bubble separator 8 can separate the gas from the liquid in the refrigerant, and the separated gas can be discharged, so that the circuit of the whole vehicle air conditioner warm air system can be degassed.

[0046] In addition, the second bubble separator 6 can eliminate the piping structure in the original cold zone system under the premise of ensuring reliable degassing of the refrigerant circulation loop. This not only simplifies the piping layout in the vehicle's thermal management system 100, which is beneficial to saving vehicle space and reducing vehicle manufacturing costs, but also reduces the component connections in the vehicle's thermal management system 100, thereby reducing the leakage points in the vehicle's thermal management system 100 and improving the sealing of the vehicle's thermal management system 100.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle also includes a water pump 9, which has a fourth water inlet 901 and a fourth water outlet 902, the fourth water inlet 901 is connected to at least one of the outlets of the first bubble separator 3, the outlets of the second bubble separator 6 and the outlets of the third bubble separator 8, and the fourth water outlet 902 is connected to at least one of the inlet of the plate heat exchanger 1, the inlet of the motor and the inlet of the third bubble separator 8.

[0048] Specifically, the water pump 9 can provide power for the flow of refrigerant in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle. The refrigerant can be sucked into the water pump 9 through the fourth water inlet 901, and then flow out of the water pump 9 from the fourth water outlet 902, so that the refrigerant can flow normally in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle to manage the heat of the whole vehicle, and can cool or refrigerate the battery, electrolysis and cabin. The fourth water inlet 901 is connected to at least one of the outlets of the first bubble separator 3, the second bubble separator 6 and the third bubble separator 8, so that the first bubble separator 3, the second bubble separator 6 and the third bubble separator 8 can all be connected to the water pump 9, so that the water pump 9 can provide power for the refrigerant in the cooling circuits where the first bubble separator 3, the second bubble separator 6 and the third bubble separator 8 are respectively located, which can not only ensure the normal operation of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, but also improve the integration of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, reduce the structure in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, and help simplify the layout of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle and reduce costs.

[0049] Furthermore, the fourth water outlet 902 is connected to at least one of the inlet of the plate heat exchanger 1, the inlet of the motor and the inlet of the third bubble separator 8, so that the refrigerant sucked by the water pump 9 can flow into the cooling circuit between the plate heat exchanger 1 and the battery pack, the cooling circuit between the motor and the radiator 4, and the warm air system of the whole vehicle air conditioner through the fourth water outlet 902, thereby ensuring that the water pump 9 provides power for the cooling circuit between the plate heat exchanger 1 and the battery pack, the cooling circuit between the motor and the radiator 4, and the warm air system of the whole vehicle air conditioner, so as to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle's thermal management system 100.

[0050] In an embodiment of the utility model, a power electronic integrated module is also provided between the fourth water outlet 902 and the inlet of the motor. When the refrigerant flows from the water pump 9 to the motor, it will pass through the power electronic integrated module, and then absorb heat from the power electronic integrated module to ensure the working reliability of the control elements during the operation of the motor.

[0051] According to the embodiment of the utility model, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle further includes a water tank, the outlet of which is connected to the position between the outlet of the first bubble separator 3 and the inlet of the water pump 9. Specifically, the water tank can store a certain amount of refrigerant, and can provide the refrigerant of suitable temperature to the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, thereby enabling the heat exchange in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle to proceed normally. In the cooling circuit between the plate heat exchanger 1 and the battery pack, a third hose 16 is connected between the outlet of the first bubble separator 3 and the inlet of the water pump 9, and the third hose 16 is connected to the water tank, so that the refrigerant in the water tank can flow into the cooling circuit between the plate heat exchanger 1 and the battery pack through the third hose 16, so that the cooling circuit between the plate heat exchanger 1 and the battery pack can be replenished, and the heat transfer efficiency of the refrigerant in the cooling circuit between the plate heat exchanger 1 and the battery can be ensured, thereby ensuring the cooling efficiency of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle on the battery pack.

[0052] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the water tank is connected to the position between the outlet of the radiator 4 and the inlet of the water pump 9. Specifically, a fourth hose 17 is connected between the outlet of the radiator 4 and the inlet of the water pump 9, and the fourth hose 17 is connected to the water tank, so that the refrigerant in the water tank can flow into the cooling circuit between the motor and the radiator 4 through the fourth hose 17, so that the cooling circuit between the motor and the radiator 4 can be replenished, and the heat transfer efficiency of the refrigerant in the cooling circuit of the motor and the radiator 4 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the cooling efficiency of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle on the motor.

[0053] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle also includes a heating element 11, the inlet of the heating element 11 is connected to the outlet of the warm air core, the outlet of the heating element 11 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 9, and the water tank is connected to the outlet of the warm air core and the position between the inlet of the heating element 11. Specifically, the heating element 11 can heat the refrigerant passing through, and can transfer the heat to the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, so that the warm air system of the whole vehicle air conditioner can heat the cabin and meet the heating needs of the user. Further, the inlet of the heating element 11 is connected to the outlet of the warm air core, and the outlet of the heating element 11 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 9, so that the refrigerant flowing out of the warm air core can flow into the heating element 11 for further heating, and the refrigerant passing through the heating element 11 enters the water pump 9, and then flows from the water pump 9 into the third bubble separator 8. After the third bubble separator 8 eliminates the excess gas, the refrigerant flows back to the warm air core, forming a warm air circuit of the air conditioner.

[0054] Furthermore, a fifth hose 18 is connected between the outlet of the heater core and the inlet of the heating element 11. The fifth hose 18 is connected to the water tank, which can replenish the heating system of the whole vehicle air conditioner, thereby ensuring the heat transfer efficiency of the refrigerant in the heating system of the whole vehicle air conditioner, and further ensuring the heating efficiency of the whole vehicle air conditioner.

[0055] Combination Figure 1 As shown, a first hose 12 and a first hard pipe weld 13 are arranged between the first water outlet and the inlet of the battery pack, one end of the first hose 12 is connected to the second water outlet 402, and the other end is connected to the first hard pipe weld 13, and the end of the first hard pipe weld 13 away from the first hose 12 is connected to the inlet of the battery pack. Such an arrangement can not only ensure that the first water outlet of the plate heat exchanger 1 is connected to the inlet of the battery pack, but also can be supplemented by the first hard pipe weld 13 when the length of the first hose 12 is limited, so as to adapt to the arrangement of the plate heat exchanger 1 and the battery pack in the whole vehicle.

[0056] Furthermore, a second hose 14 and a second hard tube weld 15 are provided between the outlet of the battery pack and the inlet of the first bubble separator 3, one end of the second hose 14 is connected to the inlet of the first bubble separator 3, and the other end is connected to the second hard tube weld 15, and the end of the second hard tube weld 15 away from the second hose 14 is connected to the outlet of the battery pack. Such an arrangement can not only ensure that the outlet of the battery pack is connected to the inlet of the first bubble separator 3, but also can be supplemented by the second hard tube weld 15 when the length of the second hose 14 is limited, so as to adapt to the arrangement of the battery pack and the first bubble separator 3 in the whole vehicle.

[0057] Furthermore, a mounting bracket 2 is provided on the first rigid tube weld 13 and the second rigid tube weld 15, and the mounting bracket 2 is connected to the vehicle, so that the first rigid tube weld 13 and the second rigid tube weld 15 can be fixed on the vehicle frame.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the outlet of the plate heat exchanger 1 is connected to the inlet of the heating element 11, and the outlet of the heating element 11 is connected to the first hose 12, and the heating element 11 selectively heats the refrigerant. Specifically, in the utility model, after the refrigerant flows out of the outlet of the plate heat exchanger 1, it first flows into the heating element 11 through the inlet of the heating element 11, and the heating element 11 can work selectively to heat the refrigerant flowing into the first hose 12. When the battery pack generates too much heat and needs to be cooled, the vehicle's thermal management system 100 is required to cool the battery pack to prevent the battery pack from overheating and failure. At this time, the heating element 11 does not work, and the refrigerant in the plate heat exchanger 1 flows to the battery pack and cools the battery pack. When the battery pack is in a low temperature environment, the vehicle's thermal management system 100 is required to heat the battery pack to improve the battery life. At this time, the heating element 11 works, and the temperature of the refrigerant passing through the heating element 11 increases. After flowing to the battery pack, it can transfer heat to the battery pack to increase the working temperature of the battery pack and increase the endurance of the whole vehicle.

[0059] According to the embodiment of the utility model, the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle can be applied to the vehicle. The vehicle equipped with the utility model can eliminate the degassing pipeline of the thermal management system of the vehicle in the prior art by setting the first bubble separator 3, the second bubble separator 6 and the third bubble separator 8 in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle. This can not only ensure the smooth exhaust of the refrigerant, which is conducive to shortening the time of refrigerant filling, but also optimize the pipeline layout of the whole vehicle, save the space of the whole vehicle, and thus help to reduce the manufacturing cost of the whole vehicle. In addition, the battery pack cooling system, the motor cooling system and the air conditioning system share a water tank, which can not only reduce the number of components in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle and reduce the cost, but also reduce the connection positions of the components in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle, which is conducive to reducing the leakage points in the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle and improving the sealing of the thermal management system 100 of the vehicle.
