Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal management, and in particular to a thermal management integrated module, a thermal management system and an energy storage system. Background Art

[0002] In the thermal management integrated module in the related art, the waterway substrate and the multi-way valve are assembled and connected to each other, the multi-way valve is connected to the waterway substrate, the multi-way valve and the waterway substrate are in a stacked relationship, and a connection surface for connecting with the multi-way valve is reserved on the waterway substrate. In order to have a higher sealing performance after the multi-way valve is assembled with the waterway substrate, all interfaces of the multi-way valve are set on the same plane. The above design will cause the fluid to pass through more bends when passing through the flow channel of the multi-way valve and the waterway substrate, resulting in large flow resistance and increased power consumption of the water pump. Utility Model Content

[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide a thermal management integrated module, a thermal management system and an energy storage system to solve the problem that the fluid needs to go through many bends and has large flow resistance when passing through the flow channel of the multi-way valve and the water channel substrate.

[0004] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a thermal management integrated module, which includes a water path substrate and a multi-way valve. The water path substrate includes a first portion in the shape of a flat plate, the first portion includes a relative top surface and a bottom surface and a side surface for connecting the top surface and the bottom surface, and the multi-way valve includes a valve body and a valve core arranged in the valve body; at least part of the valve body is located between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a plurality of interfaces are provided on the portion of the valve body located between the top surface and the bottom surface; the first portion also includes a plurality of flow channels located between the top surface and the bottom surface, and the plurality of flow channels are respectively connected to the plurality of interfaces.

[0005] In this embodiment, since at least part of the valve body is located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part, and since a plurality of interfaces are provided on the part of the valve body located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part, and a plurality of flow channels are respectively connected to the plurality of interfaces. Thus, the interface of the valve body and the plurality of flow channels are simultaneously located in the area between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part, so that the fluid in this embodiment does not need to first flow from the flow channel of the waterway substrate to the multi-way valve on the waterway substrate, and then flow from the multi-way valve to the flow channel of the waterway substrate. The fluid in this embodiment can flow in the area between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part without having a large fluctuation in the height direction of the waterway substrate, which can effectively reduce the number of bends, thereby effectively reducing the flow resistance. It can also effectively reduce the energy wasted by the fluid to overcome its own gravitational potential energy. Thus, the power consumption of the water pump can be effectively reduced, and the overall energy consumption of the heat pipe integrated module can be reduced.

[0006] In addition, since part of the multi-way valve is located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part, and at least part of the interface of the multi-way valve is located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part, it is not necessary to arrange all interfaces of the multi-way valve on the same plane as in the solution in the related art. In this embodiment, the multi-way valve does not need to arrange all interfaces on the same plane, thereby effectively reducing the volume of the valve body of the multi-way valve, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the multi-way valve.

[0007] In some embodiments, the inlets of the plurality of flow channels are respectively connected to the plurality of interfaces, and the outlets of at least some of the flow channels are formed on the side. In this embodiment, since the side of the first part is located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part, and the outlets of at least some of the flow channels are formed on the side, the inlets and outlets of at least some of the flow channels are both areas between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part, so that at least some of the flow channels do not need to form a bend with a small angle in the height direction of the water channel substrate, so that at least some of the flow channels are closer to a straight line as a whole, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the fluid when it flows through the flow channel, so as to further effectively reduce the overall energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module.

[0008] In some embodiments, the valve body includes an axial direction and a radial direction, the axial direction of the valve body is consistent with the relative direction of the top surface and the bottom surface, and a plurality of interfaces are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the valve body in the radial direction. In this embodiment, since the plurality of interfaces are provided on the portion of the outer peripheral surface of the valve body in the radial direction between the top surface and the bottom surface, and the axial direction of the valve body is consistent with the relative direction of the top surface and the bottom surface, the plurality of interfaces of the valve body can all face the side of the first part, so that the flow channel can be smoother and easier to approach straightness during design, thereby further reducing the flow resistance of the flow channel.

[0009] In some embodiments, a plurality of interfaces are spaced around the axis of the valve body and distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the valve body in the radial direction. When two of the plurality of interfaces are connected, the central angle between the two connected interfaces in the circumferential direction of the valve body is greater than 90 degrees. In this embodiment, since the central angle a between the two interfaces connected to the valve body in the circumferential direction of the valve body is greater than 90 degrees, the channel formed by the two connected interfaces and the valve core can avoid small bends, so that the flow resistance of the fluid passing through the channel formed by the two connected interfaces and the valve core is smaller, so that the flow resistance of the fluid in the thermal management integrated module can be further reduced to reduce the overall energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module.

[0010] In some embodiments, the valve body includes at least one water receiving layer between the top surface and the bottom surface, the axial direction of the at least one water receiving layer is the same as the axial direction of the valve body, and a plurality of interfaces are provided on the radial outer peripheral surface of the at least one water receiving layer. In this embodiment, since the axial direction of the water receiving layer is the same as the axial direction of the valve body, by providing a plurality of interfaces on at least the radial outer peripheral surface of the water receiving layer, the flow resistance can be effectively reduced, and the energy consumption of the thermal management module can be reduced.

[0011] In some embodiments, two water receiving layers are stacked between the top surface and the bottom surface along the axial direction of the valve body, some of the multiple interfaces are located on the radial outer circumference of one of the water receiving layers, and other interfaces of the multiple interfaces are located on the radial outer circumference of another of the water receiving layers. The thermal management integrated module in this embodiment is suitable for scenarios where the number of interfaces of the valve body is relatively large.

[0012] In some embodiments, the valve body includes an axial direction and a radial direction, the axial direction of the valve body is perpendicular to the relative direction of the top surface and the bottom surface, and a plurality of interfaces are provided on the portion of the outer peripheral surface of the valve body in the radial direction located between the top surface and the bottom surface. In this embodiment, since the axial direction of the valve body is perpendicular to the relative direction of the top surface and the bottom surface, that is, the axial direction of the valve body is perpendicular to the height direction of the waterway substrate, when the axial length of the valve body is greater than the radial length of the valve body, by arranging the axial direction of the valve body perpendicular to the height direction of the waterway substrate, the number of interfaces on the portion of the valve body located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first portion can be increased without significantly increasing the thickness of the first portion of the waterway substrate. The more interfaces on the portion of the valve body located between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first portion, the more flow channels can reduce the number of bends or reduce the number of bends with smaller angles. This is conducive to reducing the number of bends of the thermal management integrated module in this embodiment as a whole or reducing the number of bends with smaller angles, so as to reduce the flow resistance of the thermal management integrated module and reduce the energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module.

[0013] In some embodiments, part of the valve body is located between the top surface and the bottom surface, the multiple interfaces are all facing the bottom surface and the side surface of the first part, and the outlets of the multiple flow channels are all lower than the inlets of the multiple flow channels in the direction toward the bottom surface. In this embodiment, since the interface of the valve body between the top surface and the bottom surface of the first part faces the bottom surface and the side surface of the first part, when the outlets of the multiple flow channels connected to the multiple interfaces of the valve body between the bottom surface and the side surface of the first part are all lower than the inlets of the multiple flow channels in the direction toward the bottom surface, the number of bends of the multiple flow channels can be reduced as much as possible or the angle of the bends can be increased, and the multiple flow channels can be naturally extended along the direction of the interface of the valve body, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the multiple flow channels and reducing the overall energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module.

[0014] In some embodiments, a water pump is connected to the top surface, and the first part of the water channel substrate further includes a flow channel for connecting to the water pump, the inlet of the flow channel for connecting to the water pump is connected to one of the multiple interfaces, the outlet of the flow channel for connecting to the water pump is connected to the interface of the water pump, and the interface of the water pump is located between the top surface and the bottom surface. In this embodiment, since the interface of the water pump is located between the top surface and the bottom surface, and the multiple interfaces are also located between the top surface and the bottom surface, the flow channel connecting the interface of the valve body and the interface of the water pump can reduce the formation of bends with smaller angles when designing, so as to reduce flow resistance.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first part of the water channel substrate is integrally formed with the valve body. In this embodiment, since the valve body of the multi-way valve and the first part of the water channel substrate are integrally formed, it is possible to reduce the number of steps for connecting the valve body of the multi-way valve with the first part of the water channel substrate and save assembly time. It is also possible to avoid the problem of leakage caused by assembly over time. Moreover, since the first part of the water channel substrate and the valve body of the multi-way valve are integrally formed, it is also possible to avoid the need to provide assembly screws on the multi-way valve or the water channel substrate, which is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the thermal management integrated module in this embodiment.

[0016] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a thermal management system, comprising a refrigerant substrate and a thermal management integrated module as described in any one of the first aspects above, wherein the refrigerant substrate is connected to a bottom surface.

[0017] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a battery, a powertrain, and a thermal management system as described in the second aspect above, wherein the thermal management system is used to perform thermal management on the battery and the powertrain.

[0018] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an energy storage system, the energy storage system comprising an energy storage battery and the thermal management system of the second aspect, the thermal management system being used to perform thermal management on the energy storage battery.

[0032] The following first explains some terms involved in the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. in the specification and claims of the embodiments of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can, for example, be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] In this specification, the terms "perpendicular", "parallel", etc. are explained.

[0035] Vertical: The verticality defined in this application is not limited to an absolute vertical intersection relationship (angle of 90 degrees). It allows for non-absolute vertical intersection relationships caused by factors such as assembly tolerance, design tolerance, and influence of structural flatness. It also allows for errors in a small angle range. For example, the assembly error range of 80 to 100 degrees can be understood as a vertical relationship.

[0036] Parallelism: The parallelism defined in this application is not limited to absolute parallelism. This definition of parallelism can be understood as basic parallelism, which allows for situations where the absolute parallelism is not caused by factors such as assembly tolerance, design tolerance, and influence of structural flatness. These situations will lead to the sliding fitting part and the first door panel not being absolutely parallel, but this application also defines this situation as parallelism.

[0037] An embodiment of the present application provides a thermal management system. The thermal management system in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the vehicle field and the energy storage field.

[0038] For example, the thermal management system in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to electric vehicles in the vehicle field, and electric vehicles are vehicles driven by electric drivers. The electric driver may include, for example, a power distribution unit (PDU), a micro controller unit (MCU), a mapped diagnostic context (MDC), and a motor.

[0039] For another example, the thermal management system in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to photovoltaic systems, wind power systems, etc. in the field of energy storage.

[0040] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle 1000 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle 1000, which includes a thermal management system 1001 and a thermal management object 1002, wherein the thermal management system 1001 is used to perform thermal management for the thermal management object 1002. It is understood that the positions of the thermal management object 1002 and the thermal management system 1001 in the figure are only schematic representations, and do not mean that the thermal management object 1002 and the thermal management system 1001 must be in the illustrated positions, and the thermal management object 1002 and the thermal management system 1001 may also be set in other positions.

[0042] In some implementations, the thermal management object 1002 includes one or more of a battery, a powertrain, and an electronic control assembly. For electric vehicles, the battery is used to provide most of the electrical energy required by the vehicle 1000, and the powertrain is used to provide power for the vehicle 1000. The powertrain may include a motor, a transmission, a drive system, and an exhaust system. The electronic control assembly refers to an overall system composed of components such as an automotive electronic control unit (ECU), wiring harness, and sensors. The electronic control assembly can finely control and manage the automotive engine, transmission, brake, and safety control to ensure smooth driving and stability of the vehicle in various complex driving scenarios. The automotive electronic control assembly is an important part of the vehicle, and it has very high requirements for the matching, debugging, maintenance, and upgrading of electronic equipment.

[0043] The thermal management system 1001 is used to monitor and control the temperature of the vehicle 1000 , maintain the normal operating temperature range of various parts of the vehicle 1000 (such as the battery, powertrain, electronic control assembly and interior), thereby improving the performance, efficiency and comfort of the vehicle 1000 .

[0044] Figure 2 The thermal management system 1001 in this embodiment can be applied not only to the vehicle 1000 mentioned above, but also to equipment in the energy storage field, the medical field, or other fields requiring thermal management.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The thermal management system 1001 includes a water side component 1, a refrigerant component 2 and a heat exchange component.

[0046] The water side component 1 in this embodiment is mainly used to adjust and control the flow of the first medium in the system. For example, the water side component 1 can flow to the battery, power assembly, control assembly, etc. to achieve temperature control and regulation of the battery, power assembly, control assembly, etc. Among them, the first medium can be water.

[0047] The refrigerant assembly 2 in this embodiment is mainly used to control the circulation of the refrigerant in the system, and achieve the purpose of temperature regulation through the process of heat absorption and heat release.

[0048] The main function of the heat exchange component in this embodiment is to realize heat exchange. For example, in some embodiments, the heat exchange component can be a condenser. In some embodiments, the heat exchange component can also be an evaporator. In some embodiments, the heat exchange component can also include a condenser and an evaporator at the same time.

[0049] The water side component 1 and the refrigerant component 2 are respectively connected to the heat exchange component, so as to realize heat exchange through the heat exchange component by allowing the first medium (such as water) from the water side component 1 to flow to the heat exchange component, and the second medium (such as refrigerant) from the refrigerant component 2 to flow to the heat exchange component.

[0050] The water side component 1 includes a thermal management integrated module 3, which includes a water channel substrate 10 and several functional components located on the water channel substrate 10, such as a water pump located on the water channel substrate 10, and can also be a water tank, a fan, etc.

[0051] The refrigerant assembly 2 includes a refrigerant substrate and several functional components located on the refrigerant substrate, such as an expansion valve, a solenoid valve, a check valve, and a temperature and pressure sensor located on the refrigerant substrate.

[0052] In some embodiments, the heat exchange component is located between the water channel substrate 10 and the refrigerant substrate, that is, the water side component 1, the heat exchange component and the refrigerant component 2 form a sandwich structure.

[0053] In some embodiments, the refrigerant substrate is connected to one side of the water channel substrate 10 , and the heat exchange component is connected to the side of the water channel substrate 10 away from the refrigerant substrate, or the heat exchange component is connected to the side of the refrigerant substrate away from the water channel substrate 10 .

[0054] In the related art, the waterway substrate and the multi-way valve are assembled and connected to each other, for example, they are fixed on the waterway substrate by screws, etc. Specifically, the multi-way valve is connected to the waterway substrate, and the multi-way valve and the waterway substrate are in a stacked relationship. A connection surface for connecting with the multi-way valve is specially reserved on the waterway substrate. In order to have a higher sealing performance after the multi-way valve is assembled with the waterway substrate, all interfaces of the multi-way valve are set on the same plane. Such a design still has the following shortcomings:

[0055] First, since all interfaces of the multi-way valve are arranged on the same plane, the volume of the valve body of the multi-way valve must be increased so that all interfaces can extend to the same plane, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the multi-way valve. Secondly, since all interfaces are located on the same plane, the passages from multiple interfaces to the valve core of the multi-way valve must be curved and have certain bends, which will cause a large flow resistance when the fluid flows inside the multi-way valve, increasing the power consumption of the water pump.

[0056] Secondly, since the multi-way valve and the water channel substrate are in a stacked relationship, the approximate flow trajectory of the fluid from the water channel substrate to the multi-way valve and then to the water channel substrate is in the shape of a "J". When the fluid flows through the "J"-shaped channel as above, it needs to go through multiple bends, which will produce a large flow resistance and also increase the power consumption of the water pump.

[0057] In addition, the assembly efficiency is low because the assembly station needs to be designed to install 4 screws and 1 end face sealing gasket. Moreover, after the end face sealing gasket ages, there is a greater risk of leakage. In addition, the multi-way valve is fixed to the substrate by screws, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the water channel module.

[0058] Based on the shortcomings of the connection scheme between the multi-way valve and the waterway substrate in the above-mentioned related art, the embodiment of the present application provides Figure 3 The scheme in the embodiment is to solve the above problems. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a thermal management integrated module 3 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 The thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment can be applied not only to Figure 2 The thermal management system 1001 in the embodiment may also be applied to other thermal management systems 1001 .

[0059] Reference Figure 3 The thermal management integrated module 3 includes a water channel substrate 10 and a multi-way valve 20 .

[0060] In some embodiments, the water channel substrate 10 includes a first portion 11 in a flat plate shape. The first portion 11 includes a top surface 111 and a bottom surface 112 opposite to each other. The top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 are used to connect other components of the water side component 1 and the refrigerant component 2, etc.

[0061] For example, in some embodiments, the top surface 111 is used to connect components of the water side assembly 1 such as the water pump 30 , and the bottom surface 112 is used to connect the refrigerant substrate.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the top surface 111 may be used to connect the water side components 1 such as the water pump 30, and the bottom surface 112 may be used to connect the heat exchange component, and the refrigerant substrate is also connected to the heat exchange component. After the refrigerant substrate, the heat exchange component and the water-cooled substrate are connected, the heat exchange component is located between the refrigerant substrate and the water-cooled substrate.

[0063] The first portion 11 of the waterway substrate 10 further includes a side surface 113 for connecting the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112. It can be understood that when the first portion 11 of the waterway substrate 10 is substantially in a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the number of the side surfaces 113 is four. When the first portion 11 of the waterway substrate 10 is substantially in a cylindrical shape, the number of the side surfaces 113 is one and is a curved surface.

[0064] It should be noted that the first part 11 in this embodiment is in a flat plate shape, which means that it is roughly in a flat plate shape and looks roughly in a flat plate shape within a certain error range. For the convenience of description, the relative direction of the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 is set as the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10. Then, in the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10, the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 in the embodiment of the present application may have a certain fluctuation in the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10, but the range of fluctuation is less than 1 / 2 of the radial dimension of the multi-way valve 20. It can be understood that the first part 11 of the waterway substrate 10 includes a plurality of flow channels 12, so that the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 and the side surface 113 of the first part 11 are not strictly smooth planes or curved surfaces, and the top surface 111, the bottom surface 112 or the side surface 113 of the first part 11 may be provided with a hollow structure, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the multiple flow channels 12 of the first portion 11 of the water channel substrate 10 are located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11 , and the multiple flow channels 12 are used to connect with components of the water side component 1 , the heat exchange component or the refrigerant component 2 .

[0066] The plurality of flow channels 12 each have an inlet and an outlet. For ease of description, the port where the flow channel 12 is connected to the multi-way valve 20 is defined as the inlet 121 of the flow channel 12, and the port where the flow channel 12 is used to connect to other components is defined as the outlet 122 of the flow channel 12. It is understood that the inlet 121 and outlet of the flow channel 12 are not determined according to the inflow direction of the fluid, and the fluid can enter the flow channel 12 through the inlet 121 of the flow channel 12 or through the outlet 122 of the flow channel 12. For ease of description, the flow channel 12 whose outlet 122 is located on the side 113 of the first portion 11 is further defined as the first flow channel, and the flow channel 12 whose outlet 122 is located on other surfaces of the first portion 11 is defined as the second flow channel.

[0067] The outlets 122 of the plurality of flow channels 12 in this embodiment may be located not only on the side surface 113 of the first portion 11, but also on other surfaces of the first portion 11, or simultaneously on the side surface 113 or other surfaces of the first portion 11. It should be noted that the outlet 122 of the flow channel 12 being located on the side surface 113 of the first portion 11 means that the outlet 122 of the flow channel 12 is formed on the side surface 113 of the first portion 11. Similarly, the outlet 122 of the flow channel 12 being located on the top surface 111 or the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11 also means that the outlet 122 of the flow channel 12 forms the top surface 111 or the bottom surface 112 of the main first portion 11.

[0068] It should also be noted that in some embodiments, the waterway substrate 10 may only include the first portion 11, that is, the overall shape of the waterway substrate 10 and the shape of the first portion 11 of the waterway substrate 10 are the same. In other embodiments, the waterway substrate 10 may also include a second portion, a third portion, etc. in addition to the first portion 11, for example, the first portion 11 and the second portion are combined to make the waterway substrate 10 have an L-shaped structure as a whole, or the first portion 11, the second portion and the third portion are combined to make the waterway substrate 10 have a Z-shaped structure as a whole, etc.

[0069] In some embodiments, the multi-way valve 20 includes a valve body 21 and a valve core 22 . By rotating the valve core 22 relative to the valve body 21 , the connection state of the multi-way valve 20 can be changed to switch different passages.

[0070] It is understandable that the number of the multi-way valves 20 used in the embodiment of the present application may be one or more, such as 2, 3, 4, or 5 multi-way valves 20. In addition, the multi-way valve 20 used in the present embodiment may be a two-way valve, or a three-way valve, a four-way valve, a five-way valve, a six-way valve, a seven-way valve, an eight-way valve, etc. Specifically, a required number of different types of multi-way valves 20 may be used according to the needs.

[0071] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is provided with a cylindrical inner cavity, in which a valve core 22 is provided. The valve core 22 can rotate in the cylindrical inner cavity to adjust the connection state of the multi-way valve 20 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is cylindrical. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 may also be in other structures.

[0073] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the valve body 21 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, and a plurality of interfaces 211 are provided on the portion of the valve body 21 located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, and the plurality of flow channels 12 are respectively connected to the plurality of interfaces 211. In this embodiment, since at least a portion of the valve body 21 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11, and since a plurality of interfaces 211 are provided on the portion of the valve body 21 located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11, the plurality of flow channels 12 are respectively connected to the plurality of interfaces 211. Thus, the interface 211 of the valve body 21 and the multiple flow channels 12 are simultaneously located in the area between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, so that the fluid in this embodiment does not need to be like the solution in the related art mentioned above. The fluid needs to first flow from the flow channel 12 of the waterway substrate 10 to the multi-way valve 20 on the waterway substrate 10, and then flow from the multi-way valve 20 to the flow channel 12 of the waterway substrate 10. The fluid in this embodiment can flow in the area between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11 without having a large fluctuation in the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10, which can effectively reduce the number of bends, thereby effectively reducing the flow resistance. It can also effectively reduce the energy wasted by the fluid to overcome its own gravitational potential energy. Thereby, the power consumption of the water pump 30 can be effectively reduced, and the overall energy consumption of the heat pipe integrated module can be reduced.

[0074] In addition, since part of the multi-way valve 20 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, and at least part of the interface 211 of the multi-way valve 20 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, it is not necessary to set all the interfaces 211 of the multi-way valve 20 on the same plane as in the solution in the related art. In this embodiment, the multi-way valve 20 does not need to set all the interfaces 211 on the same plane, so that the volume of the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the multi-way valve 20.

[0075] It should be noted that the multiple flow channels 12 are respectively connected to the multiple interfaces 211, which means that the flow channels 12 and the interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 can be connected one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-one.

[0076] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the valve body 21 may also be provided with an interface 211 on the portion located outside the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, and for the convenience of distinction, the portion of the valve body 21 located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11 is set as the first interface, and the interface 211 on the portion of the valve body 21 located outside the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11 is set as the second interface.

[0077] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is integrally formed with the first part 11 of the water channel substrate 10. For example, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 can be integrally injection molded with the water channel substrate 10. In this embodiment, since the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 and the first part 11 of the water channel substrate 10 are integrally formed, it is possible to reduce the steps of connecting the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 with the first part 11 of the water channel substrate 10 and save assembly time. It is also possible to avoid the problem of leakage caused by assembly over time. Moreover, since the first part 11 of the water channel substrate 10 and the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 are integrally formed, it is also possible to avoid the need to provide assembly screws on the multi-way valve 20 or the water channel substrate 10, which is beneficial to the miniaturized design of the thermal management integrated module 3 in this embodiment.

[0078] Of course, in some other embodiments, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 and the first portion 11 of the waterway substrate 10 may also be non-integrally formed. For example, a receiving groove for receiving the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is provided on the first portion 11 of the waterway substrate 10, and then the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is assembled into the receiving groove on the waterway substrate 10.

[0079] In some embodiments, the inlets 121 of the plurality of flow channels 12 are respectively connected to the plurality of interfaces 211, and the outlets 122 of at least some of the flow channels 12 in the plurality of flow channels 12 are formed on the side 113 of the first part 11. That is, the inlet 121 of the first flow channel is connected to the first interface, and the outlet 122 of the first flow channel is formed on the side 113 of the first part 11. In this embodiment, since the side 113 of the first part 11 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, the inlet 121 and the outlet of the first flow channel are both the area between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, so that the first flow channel does not need to form a bend with a smaller angle in the height direction Z of the water channel substrate 10, so that the first flow channel is closer to a straight line as a whole, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the fluid when it flows through the first flow channel, so as to further effectively reduce the overall energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module 3.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first interface of the multi-way valve 20 is generally oriented toward the side 113 of the first part 11. It should be noted that the first interface of the multi-way valve 20 is generally oriented toward the side 113 of the first part 11, which means that the surface surrounded by the interface 211 of the multi-way valve 20 is generally parallel to the side 113 or presents a small angle. In this embodiment, since the first interface of the multi-way valve 20 is generally oriented toward the side 113 of the first part 11, the inlet 121 of the flow channel 12 connected to the first interface of the multi-way valve 20 is also generally oriented toward the side 113 of the first part 11, so that for the first flow channel, the inlet 121 of the first flow channel is generally oriented toward the side 113 of the first part 11, and the outlet 122 of the first flow channel is located on the side 113 of the first part 11, so that the first flow channel is smoother in design and easier to approach straightness, thereby further reducing the flow resistance of the first flow channel.

[0081] In some other embodiments, the first interface of the multi-way valve 20 may also be facing the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, or in other words, in some embodiments, the first interface of the multi-way valve 20 may also be facing the side surface 113 of the first part 11 and the top surface 111 or the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11 at the same time.

[0082] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 includes an axial direction L and a radial direction, the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is perpendicular to the radial direction, and the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is consistent with the relative direction of the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, that is, the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is substantially the same as the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10. The multiple interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 are provided on the portion of the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 21 in the radial direction between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, that is, the multiple first interfaces are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 21 in the radial direction. In the present embodiment, since the plurality of interfaces 211 are arranged on the portion of the outer peripheral surface in the radial direction of the valve body 21 located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, and the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is consistent with the relative direction of the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, the plurality of interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 can all face the side surface 113 of the first portion 11, so that the first flow channel can be smoother and easier to approach straightness during design, thereby further reducing the flow resistance of the first flow channel.

[0083] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 is substantially cylindrical. Of course, in some other embodiments, the valve body 21 may also be conical or frustum-shaped.

[0084] In some embodiments, on the basis of the valve body 21 being cylindrical, a plurality of interfaces 211 are spaced and distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 21 in the radial direction around the axis of the valve body 21, and the multi-way valve 20 includes a plurality of states, in one of which two interfaces 211 of the plurality of interfaces 211 are connected, and the central angle between the two connected interfaces 211 in the circumferential direction of the valve body 21 is greater than 90 degrees. It can be understood that the central angle a between the two connected interfaces 211 in the circumferential direction of the valve body 21 refers to the angle formed by the line connecting the centers of the two interfaces 211 and the center axis of the valve body 21. In the present embodiment, since the central angle a between the two interfaces 211 connected to the valve body 21 in the circumferential direction of the valve body 21 is greater than 90 degrees, the channel formed by the two connected interfaces 211 and the valve core 22 can avoid small bends, so that the flow resistance of the fluid passing through the channel formed by the two connected interfaces 211 and the valve core 22 is smaller, thereby further reducing the flow resistance of the fluid in the thermal management integrated module 3 to reduce the overall energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module 3.

[0085] It is understandable that when the multi-way valve 20 is in some other states, the central angle between two of the multiple interfaces 211 in the circumferential direction of the valve body 21 may also be smaller than 90 degrees.

[0086] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 may be provided with multiple water receiving layers 21a according to the number of interfaces 211. For example, when the number of interfaces 211 of the multi-way valve 20 is less than four, one water receiving layer 21a may be provided. For another example, when the number of interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 is more than four, multiple water receiving layers 21a may be provided, and each layer of water receiving layers 21a may be provided with an interface 211. When there are multiple water receiving layers 21a, the multiple water receiving layers 21a are stacked and arranged along the axial direction L of the valve body 21.

[0087] In some embodiments, the multi-way valve 20 includes four interfaces 211, and the four interfaces 211 are located in the same area in the axial direction L of the valve body 21. In other words, the four interfaces 211 are located in the same water receiving layer 21a, and the multi-way valve 20 has only one water receiving layer 21a. Since the four water receiving layers 21a are located in the same water receiving layer 21a, the height difference of the four interfaces 211 in the axial direction L of the valve body 21 will not be too large, thereby reducing the formation of bends with smaller angles, which is beneficial to reducing flow resistance.

[0088] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is completely located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11. In this embodiment, since the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is completely located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, the multi-way valve 20 does not occupy the position on the top surface 111 or the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, so that more components of the water side assembly 1 or components of the refrigerant assembly 2 can be connected to the top surface 111 or the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11.

[0089] In some other implementations, the number of interfaces 211 of the multi-way valve 20 may be two or three. The number of interfaces 211 of the multi-way valve 20 may be four or more.

[0090] In some embodiments, when the number of interfaces 211 of the multi-way valve 20 is four or more, part of the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, and the rest of the valve body 21 is located outside the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11.

[0091] Of course, in some other embodiments, when the multi-way valve 20 has more than four interfaces 211, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 may also be completely located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11. Figure 4 This is the case in the thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment.

[0092] In some embodiments, the thermal management integrated module 3 further includes a water pump 30, which can be disposed on the top surface 111 of the first portion 11. The waterway substrate 10 further includes a flow channel 12 for connecting to the water pump 30, an inlet 121 of the flow channel 12 for connecting to the water pump 30 is connected to one of the multiple interfaces 211, an outlet 122 of the flow channel 12 for connecting to the water pump 30 is connected to the interface 31 of the water pump 30, and the interface 31 of the water pump 30 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112. Since the interface 31 of the water pump 30 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, and the multiple interfaces 211 are also located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, the flow channel 12 connecting the interface 211 of the valve body 21 and the interface 31 of the water pump 30 can reduce the formation of a bend with a smaller angle when designing, so as to reduce the flow resistance.

[0093] It is understandable that the number of the water pump 30 can be one or more.

[0094] It should be noted that a bend with a smaller angle means that the angle at the bend is relatively small, that is, the bend is relatively smooth and the flow resistance is not too high.

[0095] Figure 4 Based on Figure 3A schematic diagram of the structure of another thermal management integrated module 3 that is an expansion of the thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment. Figure 3 The thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment, Figure 4 The thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment has two water receiving layers 21 a.

[0096] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, two water receiving layers 21a are stacked between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11 along the axial direction L of the valve body 21, and some of the multiple interfaces 211 are located on the radial outer peripheral surface of one of the water receiving layers 21a, and other interfaces 211 are located on the radial outer peripheral surface of another of the water receiving layers 21a. In this embodiment, since the two water receiving layers 21a are located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11. The thermal management integrated module 3 in this embodiment is suitable for the scenario where the number of interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 is greater than four.

[0097] In some implementations, each water receiving layer 21 a is provided with a plurality of water receiving ports, for example, at least two ports 211 .

[0098] In some embodiments, the valve body 21 includes only two water receiving layers 21a, and the two water receiving layers 21a are located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11. In this embodiment, since the valve body 21 is completely located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, more components of the water side assembly 1 or components of the refrigerant assembly 2 can be connected to the top surface 111 or the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11.

[0099] In some other implementations, the valve body 21 may also include another water receiving layer 21 a located outside the top surface 111 , and an interface 211 is provided on the water receiving layer 21 a .

[0100] In some embodiments, the water pump 30 has a water inlet 32 ​​and a water outlet 33, and the water inlet 32 ​​and the water outlet 33 of the water pump 30 are both located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, and the water inlet 32 ​​of the water pump 30 is connected to the interface 211 on one of the water receiving layers 21a, and the water outlet 33 of the water pump 30 is connected to the interface 211 on another of the water receiving layers 21a. Since the water inlet 32 ​​and the water outlet 33 of the water pump 30 have a height difference in the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10, and the interfaces 211 on the two water receiving layers 21a also have a height difference in the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10, it is convenient to reduce the angle of the bend formed by the water inlet 32 ​​and the water outlet 33 of the water pump 30 and the flow channel 12 between the two water receiving layers 21a when designing, so as to reduce the flow resistance.

[0101] Figure 5 Based on Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of another thermal management integrated module 3 that is an expansion of the thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment. Figure 3 The thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment, Figure 5 The positional relationship between the valve body 21 and the water channel substrate 10 of the thermal management integrated module 3 in the embodiment is different.

[0102] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the valve body 21 is cylindrical, the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is perpendicular to the relative direction of the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, and a plurality of interfaces 211 are provided on the portion of the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 21 in the radial direction between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112. In this embodiment, since the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is perpendicular to the relative direction of the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112, that is, the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is perpendicular to the height direction Z of the water channel substrate 10, when the length of the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is greater than the radial length of the valve body 21, by setting the axial direction L of the valve body 21 perpendicular to the height direction Z of the water channel substrate 10, the number of interfaces 211 on the portion of the valve body 21 located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11 of the water channel substrate 10 can be increased without significantly increasing the thickness of the first portion 11 of the water channel substrate 10 (the dimension in the height direction Z of the water channel substrate 10). The more the number of interfaces 211 on the portion of the valve body 21 located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11, the more flow channels 12 can reduce the number of bends or reduce the number of bends with smaller angles. This helps to reduce the number of bends of the thermal management integrated module 3 in this embodiment as a whole or reduce the number of bends with smaller angles, so as to reduce the flow resistance of the thermal management integrated module 3 and reduce the energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module 3.

[0103] In some implementations, the valve body 21 is divided into a plurality of water receiving layers 21 a in the axial direction, and each of the plurality of water receiving layers 21 a is provided with an interface 211 .

[0104] In some embodiments, each water receiving layer 21a is provided with a plurality of interfaces 211 on the portion between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11, and the plurality of interfaces 211 are arranged at intervals around the axial direction L of the valve body 21. In this embodiment, since the valve body 21 is provided with a plurality of interfaces 211 between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11, and the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is perpendicular to the height direction Z of the waterway substrate 10, the plurality of interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 are oriented toward the side surface 113 of the first portion 11 and the top surface 111 or the bottom surface 112 of the waterway substrate 10. The flow channel 12 in this embodiment can be designed to have a certain inclination angle relative to the top surface 111 of the first portion 11, and the inclination direction is the same as the orientation direction of the interface 211. Such a design can effectively avoid the formation of a bend with a small angle between the flow channel 12 and the interface 211 of the valve body 21, and can reduce the flow resistance between the flow channel 12 and the interface 211 of the valve body 21.

[0105] In some embodiments, each water receiving layer 21a is provided with four interfaces 211 on the portion between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11. Of course, in other embodiments, each water receiving layer 21a is provided with two, three or other number of interfaces 211 on the portion between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11.

[0106] In some embodiments, at least half of the valve body 21 in the radial direction is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11. In this embodiment, by arranging at least half of the valve body 21 in the radial direction between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11, it is possible to arrange most of the interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11 as much as possible. It is understood that in some other embodiments, the valve body 21 of the multi-way valve 20 may be completely arranged between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11.

[0107] In some embodiments, a portion of the valve body 21 is located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11, an interface 211 of the valve body 21 located between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first portion 11 faces the bottom surface 112 and the side surface 113 of the first portion 11, and the outlets 122 of the multiple flow channels 12 are all lower than the inlets 121 of the multiple flow channels 12 in the direction toward the bottom surface 112. In the present embodiment, since the valve body 21 is located at the interface 211 between the top surface 111 and the bottom surface 112 of the first part 11 facing the bottom surface 112 and the side surface 113 of the first part 11, when the outlets 122 of the multiple flow channels 12 connected to the multiple interfaces 211 of the valve body 21 between the bottom surface 112 and the side surface 113 of the first part 11 are all lower than the inlets 121 of the multiple flow channels 12 in the direction toward the bottom surface 112, the number of bends of the multiple flow channels 12 can be reduced as much as possible or the angle of the bend can be increased, and the multiple flow channels 12 can be naturally extended along the direction of the interface 211 of the valve body 21, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the multiple flow channels 12 and reducing the overall energy consumption of the thermal management integrated module 3.

[0108] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the valve body 21 may also be placed obliquely on the waterway substrate 10 , for example, the axial direction L of the valve body 21 is arranged at an acute angle to the top surface 111 of the first portion 11 .

[0109] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
