[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Figure 1-Figure 4 The thermal management system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described. The thermal management system 100 can be used in a vehicle (not shown). In the following description of the present application, the thermal management system 100 is used in a vehicle as an example for detailed description.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, according to the thermal management system 100 of the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model, the thermal management system 100 has at least one air inlet 11, and the thermal management system 100 includes a first heat exchange module 2, a second heat exchange module 3 and a flow guide 4.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 are arranged along a first direction (eg Figure 1 The first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 are arranged in the upper and lower directions as shown in the figure, and the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 are located in the air inlet 11 along the second direction (for example Figure 1 On one side of the front-to-back direction shown in the figure), the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0032] For example, in Figure 1 In the example, the first heat exchange module 2 is located above the second heat exchange module 3. The first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 are located at the rear side of the air inlet 11. The first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 respectively exchange heat with the outside environment of the vehicle, so that after the vehicle has been working for a long time, the temperature of the vehicle components (such as the engine, electrical system, etc.) increases, and the corresponding first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 can exchange heat with the outside environment respectively to reduce the temperature of the vehicle components, so that the vehicle components can be used normally for a long time, and at the same time, the normal use requirements of the vehicle's air conditioning system can be met, thereby extending the service life of the vehicle.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 The guide member 4 is movably disposed between the air inlet 11 and the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3. The guide member 4 is used to adjust the direction of the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 so that the airflow flows to at least one of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3. For example, the arrangement of the guide member 4 includes the following situations: First, the guide member 4 is used to adjust the direction of the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 so that the airflow flows only to the second heat exchange module 3 (such as Figure 2 Second, the guide member 4 is used to adjust the direction of the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 so that the airflow flows to the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 at the same time (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown).

[0034] For example, in Figure 1In the example, the guide 4 rotates around the central axis of the guide 4 to adjust the flow direction of the airflow. After the cold airflow flows in from the air inlet 11, under the action of the guide 4, it can flow to at least one of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 along the guide 4, so that the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 with heat exchange requirements can exchange heat with the cold airflow respectively to reduce the temperature of the vehicle components, or meet the use of the air conditioning system to reduce the temperature in the passenger compartment. Therefore, according to the different requirements of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 for the airflow, the movement of the guide 4 can be adjusted to reasonably distribute the airflow, thereby realizing the thermal management of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3, that is, realizing the thermal management of the interior of the vehicle cabin, and also meeting the cooling performance of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3, and improving the flexibility of the use of the thermal management system 100. In addition, the guide 4 has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which is conducive to the use of the thermal management system 100.

[0035] According to the thermal management system 100 of the present invention, the airflow to the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 can be reasonably distributed according to demand through the movement of the flow guide 4. For example, the airflow can flow to the second heat exchange module 3 alone, or flow to the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 at the same time, thereby achieving thermal management of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3, meeting the cooling performance of the thermal management system 100, and improving the flexibility of the use of the thermal management system 100. In addition, the flow guide 4 has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which is conducive to the use of the thermal management system 100.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the second heat exchange module 3 is opposite to the air inlet 11, and the guide 4 is arranged between the air inlet 11 and the second heat exchange module 3. After the airflow enters along the air inlet 11, it can flow directly to the second heat exchange module 3 after passing through the guide 4. Such an arrangement shortens the path of the airflow to the second heat exchange module 3, which is conducive to the rapid heat exchange of the second heat exchange module 3 and improves the performance of the thermal management system 100. In addition, it also meets the requirement of large heat exchange of the second heat exchange module 3, so that the second heat exchange module 3 can be used normally for a long time.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The guide member 4 is rotatable between a first position and a second position. When the guide member 4 is in the first position, the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 is suitable for flowing to the second heat exchange module 3 (such as Figure 2 When the guide member 4 is in the second position, part of the airflow entering from the air inlet 11 is suitable for flowing to the second heat exchange module 3, and the other part is suitable for flowing to the first heat exchange module 2 (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown).

[0038] When the vehicle is in different modes, different components of the vehicle are working. When the vehicle is in pure electric mode, the engine of the vehicle is not turned on, only the electrical system of the vehicle (i.e., the battery, motor, and electronic control of the vehicle) is in working state, and the air conditioning system chooses whether to turn on according to the temperature requirement in the passenger compartment, and the guide member 4 is rotated to the first position, and cold air flows to the second heat exchange module 3 for use by the power system and the air conditioning system to exchange heat with the heat-generating components in the electrical system to reduce the temperature of the heat-generating components, or to make the air conditioning system cool or heat. When the vehicle is in hybrid mode, the engine of the vehicle is turned on, and the electrical system of the vehicle is in working state (and the air conditioning system chooses whether to turn on according to the temperature requirement in the passenger compartment), and the guide member 4 is rotated to the second position, and the engine exchanges heat with the above-mentioned part of the airflow through the first heat exchange module 2 to cool the engine of the vehicle, and exchanges heat with the above-mentioned other part of the airflow through the second heat exchange module 3 to cool the electrical system of the vehicle and the passenger compartment.

[0039] With such a configuration, the position of the air guide 4 can be adjusted according to different working modes of the vehicle, so that the airflow flows in different directions to exchange heat with the corresponding first heat exchange module 2 and second heat exchange module 3, thereby meeting the working requirements of the vehicle and facilitating the normal use of the vehicle. In addition, when the air guide 4 is rotated to any position between the first position and the second position, the amount of airflow flowing to the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 is different, so that the rotation angle of the air guide 4 can be adjusted to achieve the regulation of the gas flow to the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3, so as to better meet the use requirements of the thermal management system 100.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The guide member 4 includes a rotating shaft 41 and a guide plate 42 connected to each other. The rotating shaft 41 drives the guide plate 42 to rotate between a first position and a second position. When the guide plate 42 is in the first position, the guide plate 42 moves along a second direction (for example Figure 2 When the guide plate 42 is in the second position, the guide plate 42 extends obliquely along the second direction from the air inlet 11 toward the second heat exchange module 3 and toward the side where the first heat exchange module 2 is located.

[0041] For example, when the vehicle is in pure electric mode, the rotating shaft 41 drives the guide plate 42 to rotate to the first position, the extension direction of the guide plate 42 is consistent with the flow direction of the airflow, and the airflow flows along the guide member 4 to the second heat exchange module 3 (such as Figure 2When the vehicle is in the hybrid mode, the rotating shaft 41 drives the guide plate 42 to rotate to the second position, and the guide plate 42 is tilted. After the airflow flows in from the air flow port, it is divided into two parts by the front end of the guide plate 42. One part flows along the upper side of the guide plate 42 to the first heat exchange module 2, and the other part flows along the bottom of the guide plate 42 or along the lower side of the guide plate 42 to the second heat exchange module 3 (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown).

[0042] When the vehicle is in hybrid mode, the inclination angle of the guide plate 42 can be adjusted according to the heat exchange amount of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3. For example, in the following cases: First, when the first heat exchange module 2 needs to exchange a large amount of heat and the second heat exchange module 3 needs to exchange a small amount of heat, the inclination angle of the guide plate 42 is large (i.e., the projection area of ​​the guide plate 42 at the air inlet 11 along the front-to-back direction is large), so that most of the airflow flows along the upper side of the guide member 4 to the first heat exchange module 2, and a small part of the airflow flows along the lower side of the guide member 4 to the second heat exchange module 3. Second, when the first heat exchange module 2 needs to exchange a small amount of heat and the second heat exchange module 3 needs to exchange a large amount of heat, the inclination angle of the guide plate 42 is small (i.e., the projection area of ​​the guide plate 42 at the air inlet 11 along the front-to-back direction is small), so that a small part of the airflow flows along the upper side of the guide member 4 to the first heat exchange module 2, and most of the airflow flows along the lower side of the guide member 4 to the second heat exchange module 3. Third, when the amount of heat exchange required by the first heat exchange module 2 is roughly equal to the amount of heat exchange required by the second heat exchange module 3, adjust the inclination angle of the guide plate 42 so that the guide plate 42 is inclined along the front-to-back direction so that the projected area of ​​the guide plate 42 at the air inlet 11 is roughly half of the cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet 11, so that the amount of airflow flowing to the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3 is roughly equal.

[0043] Thus, according to the use status of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3, the rotation angle of the guide plate 42 is adjusted, which effectively meets the cooling performance of the first heat exchange module 2 and the second heat exchange module 3, thereby further improving the use performance of the thermal management system 100. In addition, the guide plate 42 is rotated in a simple manner, which facilitates the flexible rotation of the guide plate 42 between the first position and the second position, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of operating the guide member 4, thereby further improving the use flexibility of the thermal management system 100. Moreover, the structure of the rotating shaft 41 and the guide plate 42 is simple, the production and processing are convenient, the production efficiency is high, and the processing cost is also low.

[0044] Further, refer to Figure 1 The first heat exchange module 2 includes at least one engine heat exchanger 21. A first fan 22 is provided on the side of the engine heat exchanger 21 away from the air inlet 11. Figure 1In the example, the first fan 22 is located at the rear side of the engine heat exchanger 21. When the guide member 4 is in the second position, the first fan 22 is turned on, and the first fan 22 draws airflow to the engine heat exchanger 21 and the first fan 22 in sequence. In this way, the heat generated by the engine of the vehicle can be exchanged with the airflow through the engine heat exchanger 21, thereby cooling the engine of the vehicle, extending the service life of the engine, and further extending the service life of the vehicle. In addition, the first fan 22 increases the flow rate of the airflow to the engine heat exchanger 21, thereby increasing the heat exchange rate of the engine heat exchanger 21, increasing the cooling rate of the engine of the vehicle, and further improving the performance of the thermal management system 100. Moreover, the rotation speed of the first fan 22 can also be adjusted according to the heat exchange demand of the engine heat exchanger 21. For example, when the heat exchange demand of the engine heat exchanger 21 is large, the rotation speed of the first fan 22 is increased, the ability of the first fan 22 to absorb airflow is improved, and the flow rate of the airflow to the engine heat exchanger 21 is increased. When the heat exchange demand of the engine heat exchanger 21 is small, the rotation speed of the first fan 22 is reduced, the ability of the first fan 22 to absorb airflow is weakened, and the flow rate of airflow to the engine heat exchanger 21 is slowed down. This further improves the flexibility of the use of the thermal management system 100 and further satisfies the cooling performance of the first heat exchange module 2.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The second heat exchange module 3 includes an air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and an electrical system heat exchanger 32, which are arranged along the second direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction). A second fan 33 is provided on the side of the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32 away from the air inlet 11. For example, Figure 1 In the example, the second fan 33 is located at the rear side of the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32. With this arrangement, the heat generated by the vehicle's electrical system can be exchanged with the air flow through the electrical system heat exchanger 32, so that the vehicle's electrical system is cooled, thereby extending the service life of the vehicle. Moreover, the heat in the vehicle's passenger compartment can be exchanged with the air flow through the air conditioning heat exchanger 31, so that the vehicle's passenger compartment is cooled, thereby improving the comfort of the vehicle. In addition, the second fan 33 increases the flow rate of the air flow to the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32, thereby increasing the heat exchange rate of the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32, increasing the cooling rate of the vehicle's electrical system and passenger compartment, and thereby improving the performance of the thermal management system 100.

[0046] In addition, the rotation speed of the second fan 33 can also be adjusted according to the heat exchange requirements of the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32. For example, when the heat exchange requirements of the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32 are large, the rotation speed of the second fan 33 is increased, the ability of the second fan 33 to absorb airflow is improved, and the flow rate of the airflow to the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32 is increased. When the heat exchange requirements of the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32 are small, the rotation speed of the second fan 33 is reduced, the ability of the second fan 33 to absorb airflow is weakened, and the flow rate of the airflow to the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32 is slowed down. Thereby, the flexibility of the use of the thermal management system 100 is further improved, and the cooling performance of the second heat exchange module 3 is further satisfied. It should be noted that the heat dissipation of the air conditioning system is related to the air volume and temperature set by the occupant. The heat dissipation of the electrical system is related to the driving speed of the vehicle and the working mode of the vehicle.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the electric system heat exchanger 32 is provided between the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the second fan 33. For example, Figure 1 In the example, the air conditioning heat exchanger 31, the electrical system heat exchanger 32 and the second fan 33 are arranged in sequence from front to back. When the air conditioning system is turned on, the air flows to the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32 in sequence. After the air flows through the air conditioning heat exchanger 31, it can continue to flow to the electrical system heat exchanger 32 for heat exchange, so that the second heat exchange module 3 can be used normally for a long time. In addition, the electrical system heat exchanger 32, the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the second fan 33 are arranged reasonably, which improves the performance of the second heat exchange module 3.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 The thermal management system 100 further includes a controller (not shown), and the first fan 22, the second fan 33 and the air guide 4 communicate with the controller respectively. Figure 4 In the example, after receiving the water temperature of the engine, the temperature in the passenger compartment and the water temperature of the electrical system, the controller determines the heat exchange requirements of the engine heat exchanger 21, the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 and the electrical system heat exchanger 32 according to their respective temperatures, and then adjusts the rotation angle of the guide plate 42, the speed of the first fan 22 and the second fan 33 through the controller to meet the heat exchange requirements. Such a setting is simple to operate, the control logic is simple, and it is easy to use, thereby improving the use efficiency of the heat exchange management system 100. For example, the controller is a VCU controller.

[0049] The operation process of the thermal management system 100 is generally as follows:

[0050] When the vehicle is in pure electric mode and the engine is not started, only the electrical system and the passenger compartment are cooled. The controller controls the angle of the deflector 42 to be in the first position, and turns on the second fan 33, and adjusts the speed of the second fan 33 accordingly.

[0051] When the vehicle is in hybrid mode and the engine is turned on, the engine, the electrical system and the passenger compartment need to be cooled. The controller controls and adjusts the angle of the deflector 42 so that the deflector 42 is in the second position, and the first fan 22 and the second fan 33 are turned on at the same time, and the speeds of the first fan 22 and the second fan 33 are adjusted accordingly. It should be noted that when the passenger compartment of the vehicle does not need to be cooled, that is, the air conditioning system is not working, the air conditioning heat exchanger 31 only serves as a channel for airflow to pass through, so that the airflow flows to the electrical system heat exchanger 32.

[0052] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 , the air inlet 11 is formed on the front grille 1. For example, Figure 1 In the example, the air inlet 11 penetrates the front grille 1, and the air guide 4 is arranged in the engine room of the vehicle. Therefore, when the vehicle is driving, it is convenient for the airflow to flow to the air guide 4 along the air inlet 11, thereby effectively ensuring the normal use of the thermal management system 100. It should be noted that the air guide plate 42 can replace the active air intake grille in the traditional technology, and by adjusting the rotation angle of the air guide plate 42 (for example, when the air guide plate 42 replaces the active air intake grille and the air guide plate 42 is rotated so that the air guide plate 42 extends in the up and down direction), the effect of reducing wind resistance when the vehicle is driving at high speed can be achieved.

[0053] A vehicle (not shown) according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model comprises a thermal management system 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model.

[0054] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned thermal management system 100, it is convenient for the vehicle to exchange heat in different working modes, thereby extending the service life of the vehicle.
