[0038] In related technologies, electric vehicles are gradually becoming the mainstream vehicle type. The vehicle's thermal management system includes components such as water pumps, heat exchangers, and various valve bodies. However, the locations of the above components are relatively scattered, and the inlets and outlets of the above components are respectively connected to the pipelines, resulting in more pipelines in the thermal management system and more complicated installation of the thermal management system.

[0039] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 A heat integration assembly 1 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the thermal integration component 1 according to the utility model includes: a heat exchange part 10, a first heat exchanger 21 and a second heat exchanger 22, a refrigerant flow path is arranged in the heat exchange part 10, a refrigerant medium is arranged in the refrigerant flow path, and the refrigerant medium is suitable for flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 4 and the outdoor heat exchanger 2, the first heat exchanger 21 is provided with a first heat exchanger first flow path and a first heat exchanger second flow path, the first heat exchanger first flow path can selectively flow through the battery unit and the power system, the first heat exchanger second flow path is suitable for communicating with the refrigerant flow path and is suitable for low-temperature refrigerant The medium passes through to cool the battery unit and / or the power system. The second heat exchanger 22 is provided with a second heat exchanger first flow path and a second heat exchanger second flow path. The second heat exchanger first flow path can be selectively connected to the refrigerant flow path so that the refrigerant medium can selectively flow through the outdoor heat exchanger 2 or the first heat exchanger second flow path. The second heat exchanger second flow path can selectively flow through the battery unit and the power system. The heat exchange part 10 is formed with a mounting surface on one side in the thickness direction, and the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 are respectively arranged on the mounting surface.

[0041] In some embodiments, the power unit can be constructed as a motor unit of a vehicle, and the first flow path of the first heat exchanger is connected to the water cooling flow path of the thermal management system. The water cooling flow path can selectively flow through the battery unit and the motor unit to exchange heat between the motor unit and the battery unit; the refrigerant flow path can selectively flow through the indoor heat exchanger 4 and the outdoor heat exchanger 2, thereby, the refrigerant flow path can exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger 4.

[0042] The indoor heat exchanger 4 may include a first expansion valve 51, an evaporator 52, a condenser 53 and a fan. The refrigerant in the refrigerant flow path may enter the evaporator 52 through the first expansion valve 51. Due to the atomization effect of the first expansion valve 51, the liquid refrigerant may become a mist-like refrigerant. The mist-like refrigerant may be converted into a gaseous state under low pressure conditions and absorb heat during the conversion process, thereby reducing the temperature of the evaporator 52. The wind blown out by the fan may become cool wind after passing through the evaporator 52 and may be blown to the cockpit, thereby reducing the temperature of the cockpit. The refrigerant with increased temperature may be cooled. When passing through the outdoor heat exchanger 2, heat can be released to the external environment, thereby realizing cooling of the cockpit using the ambient temperature; when the refrigerant in the refrigerant flow path passes through the condenser 53, the condenser 53 is suitable for condensing the refrigerant, and the refrigerant releases heat during the condensation process and causes the temperature of the condenser 53 to increase. The wind blown out by the fan becomes hot air after passing through the condenser 53 and is blown to the cockpit, thereby increasing the temperature of the cockpit. The refrigerant with reduced temperature can absorb heat from the external environment when passing through the outdoor heat exchanger 2, thereby realizing heating of the cockpit using the ambient temperature.

[0043] When the refrigerant flows through the second flow path of the first heat exchanger, the temperature of the first heat exchanger 21 can be lowered, thereby reducing the temperature of the water-cooling medium in the first flow path of the first heat exchanger. After being cooled, the water-cooling medium can flow through the battery cells and / or the power system to cool the battery cells and / or the power system. When the refrigerant flows through the first flow path of the second heat exchanger, the temperature of the second heat exchanger 22 can be increased, thereby increasing the temperature of the water-cooling medium in the second flow path of the second heat exchanger. The heated water-cooling medium can flow through the battery cells to heat the battery cells, thereby improving the cold start capability of the vehicle.

[0044] Of course, after flowing through the power system, the water-cooling medium can absorb the temperature of the power system to increase its own temperature. The heated water-cooling medium can increase the temperature of the first heat exchanger 21 when flowing through the first flow path of the first heat exchanger, thereby increasing the temperature of the refrigerant medium in the second flow path of the first heat exchanger. The heated refrigerant can increase the temperature in the cockpit when passing through the indoor heat exchanger 4, thereby realizing the heating of the cockpit by utilizing the power system; at the same time, the heated refrigerant can pass through the first flow path of the second heat exchanger to heat the second heat exchanger 22, thereby realizing the heating of the water-cooling medium in the second flow path of the second heat exchanger. The water-cooling medium can heat the battery cell when flowing through the battery cell, thereby realizing the heating of the battery cell by utilizing the heat of the power system.

[0045] It can be understood that a mounting surface is formed on one side of the heat exchange part 10 in the thickness direction, and the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 are respectively arranged on the mounting surface, so that the first heat exchanger 21, the second heat exchanger 22 and the heat exchange part 10 are integrated into a whole, and the second flow path of the first heat exchanger and the first flow path of the second heat exchanger are respectively connected to the refrigerant flow path, avoiding the need to set pipelines between the heat exchange part 10, the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22.

[0046] According to the thermal integration component 1 involved in the utility model, a mounting surface is formed on one side of the heat exchange part 10 in the thickness direction, and the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 are respectively arranged on the mounting surface, so that the first heat exchanger 21, the second heat exchanger 22 and the heat exchange part 10 are integrated into a whole, avoiding the dispersed arrangement of the heat exchange part 10, the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22, facilitating the pipe connection of the thermal management system, and at the same time, it can be avoided to set up pipes between the heat exchange part 10, the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22, reducing the number of pipes, further facilitating the pipe connection of the thermal management system, and improving the installation efficiency of the thermal management system. At the same time, the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 are arranged on the mounting surface so that the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 can share the arrangement space of the heat exchange part 10 in the thickness direction, making the volume of the thermal integration component 1 smaller.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchange part 10 is provided with a first connecting port 11 and a second connecting port 12 connected to the refrigerant flow path, the first connecting port 11 is suitable for connecting to the inlet of the compressor 3, and the second connecting port 12 is suitable for connecting to the outlet of the compressor 3; wherein an outdoor heat exchanger connecting section and an indoor heat exchanger connecting section are formed on the refrigerant flow path, the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section connects the second connecting port 12 with the outdoor heat exchanger 2, and the indoor heat exchanger connecting section connects the second connecting port 12 with the indoor heat exchanger 4, and the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section and the indoor heat exchanger connecting section can be selectively connected respectively. Thus, the first connecting port 11 and the second connecting port 12 are respectively suitable for connecting to the inlet of the compressor 3 and the outlet of the compressor 3, so that the thermal integration component 1 is connected to the compressor 3, making the installation of the thermal integration component 1 more convenient.

[0048] In some embodiments, a third connecting port 13 and a fourth connecting port 14 are also formed on the heat exchange portion 10, the third connecting port 13 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section, the fourth connecting port 14 is connected to the refrigerant flow channel, the inlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 2 is connected to the third connecting port 13 through the first water pipe, and the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 2 is connected to the fourth connecting port 14 through the second water pipe, so that the refrigerant medium can flow through the outdoor heat exchanger 2, and the outdoor heat exchanger 2 is connected to the third connecting port 13 and the fourth connecting port 14 of the heat exchange portion 10 through the first water pipe and the second water pipe respectively, so that the outdoor heat exchanger 2 can be connected to the compressor 3, which facilitates the assembly of the thermal integration component 1.

[0049] A fifth connecting port 15 and a sixth connecting port 16 are also formed on the heat exchange part 10. The fifth connecting port 15 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger connecting section, and the sixth connecting port 16 is connected to the refrigerant flow channel. The inlet of the indoor heat exchanger 4 is connected to the fifth connecting port 15 through the third water pipe, and the outlet of the indoor heat exchanger 4 is connected to the sixth connecting port 16 through the fourth water pipe, so that the refrigerant medium can flow through the indoor heat exchanger 4.

[0050] It can be understood that when the gaseous refrigerant flows through the compressor 3, the compressor 3 is suitable for converting the gaseous refrigerant into a liquid refrigerant, and the liquid refrigerant is converted into a gaseous refrigerant when flowing through the evaporator 52, and during the conversion process, the refrigerant absorbs heat to reduce the temperature of the evaporator 52, and the wind blown out by the fan becomes cool wind after passing through the evaporator 52 and blows to the cockpit, thereby reducing the temperature of the cockpit; when the compressor 3 converts the gaseous refrigerant into a liquid refrigerant, the temperature of the refrigerant increases slightly, and when the liquid refrigerant flows through the condenser 53, the condenser 53 condenses the refrigerant, and the refrigerant releases heat during the condensation process and causes the temperature of the condenser 53 to increase, and the wind blown out by the fan becomes hot wind after passing through the condenser 53 and blows to the cockpit, thereby increasing the temperature of the cockpit.

[0051] It is worth mentioning that the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section and the indoor heat exchanger connecting section can be selectively connected, thereby, the same side end of the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section and the indoor heat exchanger connecting section can be connected to the outlet of the compressor 3, the other end of the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 2, and the other end of the indoor heat exchanger connecting section is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 4. In order to allow the refrigerant to smoothly perform a refrigeration cycle or a heating cycle, a first stop valve 411 can be set in the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section, and a second stop valve 412 can be set in the indoor heat exchanger connecting section. When the refrigerant is in a refrigeration cycle, the second stop valve 412 is started and cuts off the indoor heat exchanger connecting section to prevent the refrigerant from passing through the indoor heat exchanger connecting section; when the refrigerant is in a heating cycle, the first stop valve 411 is started and cuts off the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section to prevent the refrigerant from passing through the outdoor heat exchanger connecting section. Therefore, the above-mentioned setting can ensure that the refrigerant flows smoothly in the refrigeration cycle or the heating cycle, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the thermal management system.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the heat integration component 1 also includes: a coaxial tube 31, which is arranged in the heat exchange part 10 and has a high-pressure channel 311 and a low-pressure channel 312 isolated from each other in the radial direction formed in the coaxial tube 31; wherein the high-pressure channel outlet is respectively connected to the indoor heat exchanger 4 and the second flow path of the first heat exchanger and is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 2 through the expansion valve; the low-pressure channel inlet is respectively connected to the indoor heat exchanger 4, the second flow path of the first heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger 2, and the low-pressure channel outlet is connected to the first connecting port 11. It is worth noting that the low-pressure channel outlet is connected to the first connecting port 11, that is, the low-pressure channel outlet is connected to the inlet of the compressor 3.

[0053] It can be understood that the gaseous refrigerant has a lower pressure and a lower temperature, while the liquid refrigerant has a higher pressure and a higher temperature. Therefore, the heat exchange part 10 of the present application is integrated with a coaxial tube 31, and the outlet of the high-pressure channel 311 of the coaxial tube 31 is respectively connected to the indoor heat exchanger 4, the second flow path of the first heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger 2. The heat exchange part 10 is also provided with a second expansion valve 421 and a third expansion valve 422. The liquid refrigerant can flow through the evaporator 52 through the outlet of the high-pressure channel 311; the liquid refrigerant passes through the second expansion valve 421 and becomes a low-temperature gaseous refrigerant and passes through the second flow path of the first heat exchanger to reduce the temperature of the first heat exchanger 21, thereby reducing the temperature of the water-cooling medium in the first flow path of the first heat exchanger, thereby achieving cooling of the power system and / or battery unit.

[0054] After passing through the third expansion valve 422, the liquid refrigerant becomes a low-temperature gaseous refrigerant and passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 2 to absorb the external ambient temperature, and then enters the compressor 3 through the low-pressure channel 312 to form a liquid refrigerant with a higher temperature. The liquid refrigerant with a higher temperature can pass through the condenser 53 to increase the temperature of the cockpit. The liquid refrigerant with a higher temperature can also pass through the first flow path of the second heat exchanger to increase the temperature of the second heat exchanger 22, thereby increasing the temperature of the water-cooled medium in the second flow path of the second heat exchanger. The heated water-cooled medium passes through the battery unit to heat the battery unit. It is worth mentioning that the heat exchange unit 10 is also integrated with a third stop valve 413 and a fourth stop valve 414. The third stop valve 413 is suitable for controlling the heated water-cooled medium to selectively flow through the first flow path of the second heat exchanger, and the fourth stop valve 414 is suitable for controlling the refrigerant that has absorbed the external ambient temperature to selectively enter the low-pressure channel 312. Therefore, the above-mentioned setting can ensure the normal operation of the thermal management system.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the thermal integration component 1 further includes: a drying tank 32, which is arranged in the heat exchange part 10, and the drying tank 32 is connected to the refrigerant flow path and is suitable for drying the refrigerant. It can be understood that when the refrigerant flows through the drying tank 32, the drying tank 32 can absorb and filter the moisture in the refrigerant to achieve drying of the refrigerant, and prevent the moisture in the refrigerant from corroding the expansion valve or the stop valve, thereby extending the service life of the expansion valve and the stop valve, and further extending the service life of the thermal integration component 1. At the same time, the drying tank 32 is arranged in the heat exchange part 10 to improve the integration of the thermal integration component 1.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the drying tank 32 is arranged on the mounting surface. It is understandable that after the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 are arranged on the heat exchange part 10, the thickness of the heat exchange part 10 will be increased, and since the drying tank 32 itself is relatively high, arranging the drying tank 32 on the mounting surface can allow the drying tank 32, the first heat exchanger 21 and the second heat exchanger 22 to share the arrangement space of the heat exchange part 10 in the thickness direction, thereby improving the integration of the thermal integration component 1 and reducing the volume of the thermal integration component 1.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the thermal integration component 1 also includes: a pressure sensor 33 and a temperature sensor 34. The pressure sensor 33 is arranged in the heat exchange part 10 and is suitable for detecting the refrigerant pressure at the inlet of the compressor 3 and / or the outlet of the compressor 3, so as to monitor whether the pressure in the refrigerant flow path is normal, thereby ensuring that the thermal management system can work safely. The temperature sensor 34 is arranged in the heat exchange part 10 and is suitable for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant flow path. At the same time, the pressure sensor 33 and the temperature sensor 34 are respectively integrated in the heat exchange part 10 to improve the integration of the thermal integration component 1.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the thermal integration component 1 also includes: a stop valve, a one-way valve 43 and an expansion valve, the stop valve is arranged in the heat exchange part 10, at least a portion of the stop valve extends into the refrigerant flow path and is suitable for selectively cutting off or conducting the refrigerant flow path, the one-way valve 43 is arranged in the heat exchange part 10, at least a portion of the one-way valve 43 extends into the refrigerant flow path, and the expansion valve is arranged in the heat exchange part 10, at least a portion of the expansion valve extends into the refrigerant flow path.

[0059] In some embodiments, the stop valve is configured as multiple, and the multiple stop valves can be respectively configured as the first stop valve 411, the second stop valve 412, the third stop valve 413 and the fourth stop valve 414, and the expansion valve can be configured as multiple, and the multiple expansion valves are respectively configured as the second expansion valve 421 and the third expansion valve 422. The one-way valve 43 can make the refrigerant medium in the refrigerant flow path flow in one direction to prevent the refrigerant medium from flowing back, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the thermal management system.
