[0022] It should be noted that, in the description of this specification, the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In this embodiment, the large cycle, small cycle and heater are all common knowledge in the automotive cooling system, and can be understood by those skilled in the art without explanation, so they will not be elaborated. The front and back in this embodiment refer to the order of the flow of the medium, and the one that flows first is the front, which can be understood by those skilled in the art in this technical field.

[0023] As shown in the figure, the embodiment of the utility model discloses a water channel distributor assembly, including a distributor cover 2 and a distributor seat 1, wherein the distributor seat 1 is provided with a thermostat installation cavity 106, a warm air water passage 107 and a water outlet channel 101 which are interconnected, and the distributor cover 2 is detachably installed on the distributor seat 1 for closing the thermostat installation cavity 106 and the warm air water passage 107; the distributor seat is also provided with at least two small circulation pipe installation holes, and both of the two small circulation pipe installation holes are connected to the thermostat installation cavity 106. In this embodiment, the distributor seat 1 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and the distributor cover 2 is fastened by screws in a threaded connection after being buckled with the distributor seat 1. The distributor seat 1 of the utility model is not only provided with a thermostat installation cavity 106 for installing the thermostat, but also integrated with a warm air water passage 107 and a plurality of small circulation pipe installation holes, providing an interface for the automobile's heater and small circulation cooling subsystem to access the automobile's cooling system. The integrated design makes the utility model have multiple uses and a wide range of uses. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the thermostat installation cavity 106, the warm air water passage 107 and the water outlet channel 101 are interconnected, and the rear ends of the thermostat installation cavity 106 and the warm air water passage 107 intersect with the front end of the water outlet channel 101. The area where the three intersect is actually at the front end of the water outlet channel 101. When this structure is actually used, the warm air circulation loop of the heater will not be affected by the thermostat, and the operation will be smoother.

[0024] In this embodiment, the two small circulation tube mounting holes are small circulation tube mounting hole I103 and small circulation tube mounting hole II104 respectively. The small circulation tube mounting hole I103 is connected to the axial rear part of the thermostat mounting cavity 106, and the small circulation tube mounting hole II104 is connected to the axial front part of the thermostat mounting cavity 106. Two small circulation pipe mounting holes can be selected corresponding to different small circulation operating conditions. There are two common operating circulation modes for the small circulation operating conditions. The first small circulation operating mode is to keep the small circulation flowing before the large circulation is opened, and the small circulation is closed after the large circulation is opened. Under this operating condition, the small circulation pipe mounting hole Ⅰ103 is used. The small circulation pipe mounting hole Ⅰ103 is connected to the axial rear end face of the thermostat mounting cavity 106. This arrangement makes it easier to close it in actual use to achieve the aforementioned first small circulation operation; the second small circulation operating mode is that the small circulation operating loop always remains open and is not affected by the large circulation, that is, the engine cooling system performs large circulation and small circulation at the same time, and the small circulation pipe mounting hole Ⅱ104 is connected to the axial front of the thermostat mounting cavity 106. The coolant in the small circulation and the large circulation are combined and then flow out after being regulated by the thermostat. In actual use, a cooling system will only select one small circulation operation mode, so according to different small circulation modes, small circulation pipe installation hole I103 or small circulation pipe installation hole II104 is selected, and the unselected one is blocked accordingly. Multiple small circulation pipe installation holes allow the utility model to be used in engine cooling systems with different circulation modes, making the utility model more widely applicable and more versatile.

[0025] In this embodiment, the central axis of the thermostat installation cavity 106 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the water outlet channel 101, and the central axis of the warm air water passage 107 is arranged at an angle to the central axis of the thermostat installation cavity 106. As shown in the figure, the thermostat installation cavity 106 corresponds to the large cycle of the cooling system, and its flow rate is greater than other cycles. In this embodiment, the central axis of the thermostat installation cavity 106 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the water outlet channel 101, which can make the coolant flow smoother. The central axis of the warm air water passage 107 is arranged at an angle to the central axis of the thermostat installation cavity 106. First, it is misaligned with the thermostat installation cavity 106, and second, it is to further improve the flow smoothness of the cooling medium in the entire cooling system. The angle setting makes the process of the two flow paths converging into the water outlet channel 101 smoother.

[0026] In this embodiment, a sensor installation hole 108 is further included, and the sensor installation hole 108 is arranged on the distributor seat 1, and the sensor installation hole 108 is connected with the water outlet channel 101. The temperature sensor is installed on the distributor seat 1 through the sensor installation hole 108, and extends into the water outlet channel 101 to monitor the temperature of the outlet water in real time.

[0027] In this embodiment, the distributor seat 1 is provided with an exhaust channel 109, the exhaust channel 109 is connected to the thermostat installation cavity 106, and the central axis of the exhaust channel 109 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the thermostat installation cavity 106. The central axis of the exhaust channel 109 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the thermostat installation cavity 106, which is more conducive to exhaust. After the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust pipe installation hole, the gas in the coolant of the cooling system is naturally discharged through the exhaust pipe in the flow direction during the flow process.

[0028] In this embodiment, the distributor seat 1 is also provided with a mounting flange 102, which is arranged close to the distributor cover 2. The mounting flange 102 is a triangular structure as a whole, and the mounting flange 102 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 105 along the circumferential direction. As shown in the figure, the mounting flange 102 in this embodiment is provided with two symmetrical mounting holes 105, and the distributor seat 1 is installed to the automobile engine cylinder block or the timing chain cover housing through the mounting flange 102. In actual use, after the thermostat is installed, the overall weight of the utility model is concentrated in the installation area of ​​the thermostat. The mounting flange 102 is arranged close to the distributor cover 2, which can better bear the weight of the entire distributor assembly and ensure a firm and reliable installation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the distributor cover 2 is also provided with a water inlet channel 201, and the water inlet channel 201 is provided corresponding to the thermostat installation cavity 106 and is connected to the thermostat installation cavity 106. In this embodiment, the distributor cover 2 is provided with a warm air water pipe connection hole 202, and the warm air water pipe connection hole 202 is provided corresponding to the position of the warm air water passage 107. As shown in the figure, the setting of the water inlet channel 201 in this embodiment is to introduce the coolant into the thermostat installation cavity 106 to accept the regulation of the thermostat, and the warm air water pipe connection hole 202 is convenient for connecting the warm air water circuit to ensure that the warm air water circuit circulation can be carried out normally, and it is also convenient for the access to the warm air water circuit.
