[0039] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Below, reference is made to Figure 1 - Figure 2 Describe a thermal management module 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, including: a heat transfer fluid integration module 10 and a refrigerant integration module 20.

[0040] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the refrigerant integration module 20 is flexibly connected to the heat transfer fluid integration module 10.

[0041] Combined with Figure 1, the thermal management module 100 is adapted to be connected to the battery. The heat exchange medium for heat exchange with the battery takes away the heat generated during the operation of the battery and flows into the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 of the thermal management module 100. The refrigerant integration module 20 is connected to the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and the heat exchange medium with a higher temperature flows from the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 into the refrigerant integration module 20. The refrigerant integration module 20 is adapted to be connected to the compressor, and the heat exchange medium with a lower temperature in the compressor flows into the refrigerant integration module 20. The heat exchange medium with a higher temperature exchanges heat with the heat exchange medium with a lower temperature in the refrigerant integration module 20 to cool the heat exchange medium with a higher temperature. The cooled heat exchange medium returns to the battery through the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 to achieve the cooling effect on the battery. The refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 are independent of each other, and the connection between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 is a flexible connection, that is, the relative position between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the integration module can be adjusted according to the working scenario. The heat exchange medium in the heat exchange fluid integration module can be water or other cooling liquids, etc.

[0042] According to the thermal management module 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the thermal management module 100 is suitable for heat exchange of the heat generated during the operation of the battery to achieve heat dissipation of the battery. Among them, the connection between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 is a flexible connection, and the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 are independent of each other, which can improve the integration degree of the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and can flexibly arrange the relative position between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 according to the working scenario, solve the problem that it is difficult to arrange the thermal management module 100 due to space limitations, improve the practicability of the thermal management module 100, and make the thermal management module 100 applicable to more complex working scenarios.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, it further includes: a connection component 30. The connection component 30 is connected between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and the connection component 30 is a flexible connection component 30. The connection component 30 is adapted to connect the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and the connection component 30 is a flexible connection component 30, that is, the connection component 30 can undergo a certain amount of bending deformation to facilitate adjustment of the relative position between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. Thus, the connection component 30 being a flexible connection component 30 facilitates the arrangement of the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 and reduces the assembly difficulty of the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connection component 30 includes: at least one connection pipeline 31, which is connected between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The connection pipeline 31 is a flexible connection pipeline 31. The connection pipeline 31 is adapted to communicate the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, so as to facilitate the circulation of the heat exchange medium between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. Thus, the setting of the connection pipeline 31 facilitates the circulation of the heat exchange medium, and the connection pipeline 31 can be deformed, which is convenient for the layout of the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the connection pipeline 31 is a corrugated pipe. A corrugated pipe refers to a tubular elastic sensitive element formed by connecting foldable corrugated sheets along the folding and telescoping direction. Corrugated pipes are often installed as a kind of flexible pressure-resistant pipe fittings in liquid conveying systems to compensate for the relative displacement of the connection ends of pipes or equipment. Corrugated pipes have elasticity and can undergo displacement under the action of pressure, axial force, lateral force or bending moment. Corrugated pipes can be extended, bent or shortened.

[0046] Thus, the connection pipeline 31 between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 is a corrugated pipe, which can make the relative position during the assembly of the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 change according to the working environment, so that the heat management module 100 can adapt to a variety of working environments, solve the assembly limitations of the heat management module 100, and improve the practicability of the heat management module 100. The corrugated pipe can also prevent pipeline leakage caused by relative displacement between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and improve the reliability of the connection pipeline 31.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, connection joints 32 are provided at the ends of the connection pipeline 31. Connection joints 32 are provided at both ends of the connection pipeline 31 along the extending direction, and the connection pipeline 31 is connected to the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 through the connection joints. Thus, the provision of connection joints 32 at the ends of the connection pipeline 31 can simplify the connection method between the connection pipeline 31 and the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, make the assembly of the connection pipeline 31 more convenient and concise, facilitate the loading and unloading of the connection pipeline 31, and reduce the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2As shown, the connection joint 32 is a quick-connect joint. A quick-connect joint is a common connection device, which has the characteristics of simplicity, rapidity, and reliability. The quick-connect joint can quickly and reliably connect the connecting pipeline 31 with the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. Thus, the connection joint 32 being a quick-connect joint can simplify the installation process of the connecting pipeline 31, save time and labor costs, and also make the connection between the connection joint 32 and the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 more stable and reliable. It is also convenient for the replacement and maintenance of the connection joint 32, reducing the maintenance cost of the thermal management module 100.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the refrigerant integration module 20 includes a heat exchanger 25. The heat exchanger 25 includes a heat exchange fluid flow path, and the heat exchange fluid flow path has an inlet and an outlet; there are multiple connecting pipelines 31, and the multiple connecting pipelines 31 include an inlet connecting pipeline 312 and an outlet connecting pipeline 311. The inlet connecting pipeline 312 is connected to the inlet, and the outlet connecting pipeline 311 is connected to the outlet.

[0050] One end of the inlet connecting pipeline 312 is communicated with the inlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path, and the other end of the inlet connecting pipeline 312 is adapted to be communicated with the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The heat exchange medium in the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 flows into the heat exchanger 25 through the inlet connecting pipeline 312 for heat exchange. One end of the outlet connecting pipeline 311 is communicated with the outlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path, and the other end of the outlet connecting pipeline 311 is adapted to be communicated with the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, facilitating the heat exchange medium that has completed heat exchange in the heat exchanger 25 to flow back into the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 through the outlet connecting pipeline 311.

[0051] Thus, the heat exchanger 25 is the heat exchange medium between the refrigerant integration module 20 and the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The inlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path facilitates the heat exchange medium to flow into the heat exchanger 25, and the outlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path facilitates the heat exchange medium to flow out of the heat exchanger 25 after heat exchange, facilitating the heat exchange medium to complete heat exchange in the heat exchanger 25.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the heat exchanger 25 further includes a refrigerant flow path; the refrigerant integration module 20 further includes: a refrigerant-side substrate 26, the refrigerant-side substrate 26 has a refrigerant flow channel, the heat exchanger 25 is provided on the refrigerant-side substrate 26, and the refrigerant flow path is communicated with the refrigerant flow channel to form a part of the refrigerant circuit.

[0053] The refrigerant flow path of the heat exchanger 25 and the refrigerant flow channels in the refrigerant-side substrate 26 are suitable for the circulation of a heat exchange medium with a relatively low temperature. The refrigerant-side substrate 26 is the core component for the installation and connection of the refrigerant integration module 20. The refrigerant-side substrate 26 is responsible for connecting all the components included in the refrigerant integration module 20, so that the heat exchange medium can circulate throughout the refrigerant integration module 20. After the heat exchange medium with a relatively low temperature flows into the refrigerant integration module 20, it enters the refrigerant flow channels in the refrigerant-side substrate 26 and then enters the refrigerant flow path of the heat exchanger 25 through the refrigerant flow channels, and completes the heat exchange process with the heat exchange medium with a relatively high temperature in the heat exchanger 25, realizing the cooling of the heat exchange medium with a relatively high temperature flowing into the heat exchange medium from the heat exchange fluid integration module 10.

[0054] Thus, the refrigerant circuit is suitable for the circulation and recycling of a heat exchange medium with a relatively low temperature. The heat exchange medium with a relatively low temperature enters the refrigerant flow path through the refrigerant flow channels and completes the heat exchange process in the heat exchanger 25.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the refrigerant integration module 20 further includes: at least one throttling device 22. The throttling device 22 is connected to the refrigerant-side substrate 26, and the throttling device 22 is provided on the refrigerant circuit. The throttling device 22 is fixedly connected to the refrigerant-side substrate 26 through bolts and sealing rings. The throttling device 22 is in communication with the refrigerant-side substrate 26. The throttling device 22 provided on the refrigerant circuit is mainly responsible for regulating the flow rate of the heat exchange medium in the refrigerant circuit. There are multiple throttling devices 22 provided on the refrigerant circuit. Thus, the setting of the throttling device 22 is used to adjust the flow rate in the refrigerant circuit, and the setting of multiple throttling devices 22 can improve the accuracy of the thermal management module 100.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the throttling device 22 is an electronic expansion valve. The electronic expansion valve uses the electrical signal generated by the regulated parameter to control the voltage or current applied to the expansion valve, and further achieves the purpose of regulating the liquid supply amount. The electronic expansion valve has the characteristics of a large adjustment range, rapid and sensitive action, accurate adjustment, and stable and reliable performance. Thus, the throttling device 22 being an electronic expansion valve can accurately control the flow rate of the heat exchange medium in the refrigerant circuit, accurately control the temperature of the heat exchange medium, and further improve the thermal management performance of the thermal management module 100.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the refrigerant integration module 20 further includes: at least one solenoid valve 23, which is connected to the refrigerant-side substrate 26 and is arranged on the refrigerant circuit. The solenoid valve 23 is connected to the refrigerant-side substrate 26 through bolts and seals. The solenoid valve 23 communicates with the refrigerant-side substrate 26. By controlling the inlet and outlet of the heat exchange medium, the solenoid valve 23 realizes the functions of controlling the forward, reverse, and closed directions of the fluid medium. The solenoid valve 23 can also control the inlet and outlet of the heat exchange medium to realize the positive and reverse rotation of the flow direction. The solenoid valve 23 has the characteristics of simple structure, reliable operation, and high control accuracy, and is widely used. Therefore, the solenoid valve 23 is mainly responsible for switching the refrigerant circuit to realize the control of the flow rate, flow direction, and on-off of the heat exchange medium in the refrigerant circuit, improving the control accuracy and working efficiency of the thermal management module 100, and optimizing the overall performance of the thermal management module 100.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the refrigerant integration module 20 further includes: a temperature and pressure sensor 24, which is arranged on the refrigerant-side substrate 26 and is used to detect the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit. The temperature and pressure sensor 24 is arranged on the refrigerant side plate. The temperature and pressure sensor 24 can monitor the temperature and pressure of the heat exchange medium flowing in the refrigerant circuit in real time, so as to facilitate the refrigerant integration module 20 to automatically adjust the temperature, flow rate, etc. of the heat exchange medium in the refrigerant circuit in real time, making the refrigerant integration module 20 have self-adaptability, realizing the automatic control function of the refrigerant integration module 20, thereby improving the working efficiency of the refrigerant integration module 20, facilitating the maintenance of the refrigerant integration module 20, prolonging the service life of the refrigerant integration module 20, and improving the safety of the refrigerant integration module 20.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the refrigerant integration module 20 further includes: a gas-liquid separator 21, which is arranged on the refrigerant-side substrate 26. The gas-liquid separator 21 is fixedly connected to the refrigerant-side substrate 26 through bolts and seals. The gas-liquid separator 21 communicates with the refrigerant-side substrate 26. The gas-liquid separator 21 is used for gas-liquid separation of the heat exchange medium to prevent the liquid heat exchange medium from entering the compressor and prevent the compressor from being damaged and failing due to liquid hammer phenomenon.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the refrigerant integration module 20 further includes: a refrigerant-side substrate mounting bracket 27, and the refrigerant-side substrate 26 is provided on the refrigerant-side substrate mounting bracket 27. The refrigerant-side substrate mounting bracket 27 is suitable for assembling the refrigerant-side substrate 26. On the side where the refrigerant-side substrate 26 is provided with the refrigerant-side substrate mounting bracket 27, components such as the heat exchanger 25, the throttling device 22, the solenoid valve 23, the temperature and pressure sensor 24, and the gas-liquid separator 21 in the refrigerant integration module 20 are all connected to the refrigerant-side substrate 26. The refrigerant-side substrate mounting bracket 27 is suitable for being fixedly connected to the vehicle body to fixedly mount the refrigerant integration module 20 on the vehicle body. The refrigerant integration module 20 includes, but is not limited to, the components described above, and the remaining components will not be elaborated here. Thus, the refrigerant-side substrate mounting bracket 27 can fix and support the refrigerant-side substrate 26, making the assembly of the refrigerant-side substrate 26 more stable, enhancing the structural strength of the refrigerant-side substrate 26, and at the same time enhancing the overall assembly stability and structural strength of the refrigerant integration module 20.

[0061] Specifically, in combination with Figure 1 , the flow process of the heat exchange medium inside the refrigerant integration module 20 is as follows:

[0062] The heat exchange medium with a lower temperature enters the condenser from the compressor. The condenser is suitable for being connected to the refrigerant integration module 20. The heat exchange medium enters the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerant integration module 20 from the condenser. The heat exchange medium first flows through the throttling device 22 and then enters the refrigerant flow channel of the refrigerant-side substrate 26. After flowing through the refrigerant flow channel, it enters the refrigerant flow path of the heat exchanger 25 and completes the heat exchange process in the refrigerant flow path of the heat exchanger 25. After the heat exchange medium completes the heat exchange, it flows out of the refrigerant flow path of the heat exchanger 25 and enters the refrigerant flow channel of the refrigerant-side substrate 26. After flowing through the solenoid valve 23 and the temperature and pressure sensor 24, it enters the gas-liquid separator 21. After the gas-liquid separator 21 performs gas-liquid separation on the heat exchange medium, the heat exchange medium flows back to the compressor, and thus the circulation of the heat exchange medium with a lower temperature in the refrigerant circuit is completed.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 includes: a heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14. The heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 has a heat exchange fluid inlet and a heat exchange fluid outlet. The heat exchange fluid inlet is connected to the inlet connection pipeline 311, and the heat exchange fluid outlet is connected to the outlet connection pipeline 312. The heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 and the heat exchange fluid flow path form a heat exchange fluid circuit through the inlet connection pipeline 312 and the outlet connection pipeline 311.

[0064] One end of the inlet connection pipeline 312 communicates with the inlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path, and the other end of the inlet connection pipeline 312 is connected to the heat exchange fluid outlet. The heat exchange medium in the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 flows out through the heat exchange fluid outlet of the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 and enters the heat exchanger 25 through the inlet connection pipeline 312. One end of the outlet connection pipeline 311 communicates with the outlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path, and the other end of the outlet connection pipeline 311 communicates with the heat exchange fluid inlet. The heat exchange medium that has completed heat exchange in the heat exchanger 25 flows out through the outlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path of the heat exchanger 25 and returns to the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 through the outlet connection pipeline 311.

[0065] Therefore, the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 is the core component of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 is responsible for integrating each component within the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 and connecting each component within the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, so that the heat exchange medium can circulate throughout the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The heat exchange fluid circuit is suitable for carrying the relatively high-temperature heat exchange medium that generates heat during the operation of the battery to circulate, and completing the heat exchange process within the heat exchange fluid circuit, reducing the temperature of the relatively high-temperature heat exchange medium, and returning to the battery via the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 to achieve heat dissipation of the battery.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 further includes: a liquid pump 11, the liquid pump 11 is connected to the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14, and the liquid pump 11 is arranged on the heat exchange fluid circuit. The liquid pump 11 is fixedly installed on the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 through a sealing ring and screws. The liquid pump 11 is the driving component of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The liquid pump 11 is the power element of the hydraulic system, which can convert mechanical energy into pressure energy to provide power for the flow of the heat exchange medium within the heat exchange fluid circuit.

[0067] Therefore, arranging the liquid pump 11 on the heat exchange fluid circuit facilitates the circulation of the heat exchange medium within the heat exchange fluid circuit. The liquid pump 11 has high efficiency, stability, and reliability, can prevent leakage or blockage when the heat exchange medium circulates within the heat exchange fluid circuit, and can ensure stable pressure and flow rate of the heat exchange medium, ensuring that there are no fluctuations or changes during the circulation process of the heat exchange medium, enabling the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 to ensure a long-term stable service life and having relatively high safety performance.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown, the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 further includes: at least one electronic liquid valve 12, which is connected to the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 and is arranged on the heat exchange fluid return circuit. The electronic liquid valve 12 is fixedly connected to the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 through a sealing ring and screws. The electronic liquid valve 12 is a switching component of the heat exchange fluid integration circuit and is responsible for the transformation of the heat exchange fluid circuit. Thus, an electronic liquid valve 12 is provided on the heat exchange fluid return circuit to achieve control over the flow rate, flow direction, and on / off of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange fluid circuit, improve the control accuracy and working efficiency of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and optimize the overall performance of the thermal management module 100.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 further includes: a temperature sensor 15, which is arranged on the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 and is used to detect the temperature of the heat exchange fluid in the heat exchange fluid circuit. The temperature sensor 15 is arranged on the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14, and the temperature sensor 15 can monitor the temperature of the heat exchange medium flowing in the heat exchange fluid circuit in real time, facilitating the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 to adjust the flow rate and flow of the heat exchange medium according to the real-time temperature of the heat exchange medium, thereby improving the working efficiency of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, facilitating the maintenance of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, extending the service life of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and improving the reliability and safety of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 further includes: an expansion tank 13, which is arranged on the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14. The expansion tank 13 is fixedly connected to the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 through a sealing ring and screws. The expansion tank is a component arranged in the heat exchange fluid circuit for liquid supplement and gas exhaust, and is mainly responsible for the supplement of the heat exchange medium and the discharge of gas in the heat exchange fluid circuit. Thus, the setting of the expansion tank 13 can play a role in stabilizing and protecting the heat exchange fluid circuit. The expansion tank 13 also plays a certain role in temperature and pressure unloading, making the flow of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 more stable and reliable, improving the stability of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10, and extending the service life of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown, the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 further includes: a heat exchange fluid flow channel plate mounting bracket 16, and the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14 is provided on the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate mounting bracket 16. The heat exchange fluid flow channel plate mounting bracket 16 is suitable for assembling the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14. Components such as the liquid pump 11, the electronic liquid valve 12, the temperature sensor 15, and the expansion tank 13 are all connected to the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14. The heat exchange fluid flow channel plate mounting bracket 16 is suitable for being fixedly connected to the vehicle body to fixedly mount the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 on the vehicle body. Thus, the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate mounting bracket 16 can fix and support the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14, improve the structural strength of the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14, and at the same time enhance the overall assembly stability and structural strength of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The heat exchange fluid integration module 10 includes but is not limited to the components described above, and the remaining components will not be elaborated here.

[0072] Specifically, in combination with Figure 1 , the flow process of the heat exchange medium inside the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 is as follows:

[0073] The heat exchange fluid integration module 10 is connected to the battery. During the operation of the battery, heat is generated. The heat exchange medium flowing inside the battery takes away the heat generated by the battery and becomes a heat exchange medium with a higher temperature. The heat exchange medium with a higher temperature enters the heat exchange circuit of the heat exchange fluid integration module 10. The heat exchange medium first enters the heat exchange fluid flow channel plate 14, and then flows through the liquid pump 11, the temperature sensor 15, and the electronic liquid valve 12 in sequence, and then enters the inlet connection pipeline 312 through the heat exchange fluid outlet, flows to the heat exchanger 25, and completes the heat exchange process in the heat exchanger 25, so that the temperature of the heat exchange medium with a higher temperature is reduced. After the heat exchange medium completes the heat exchange, it flows out of the heat exchanger 25 from the outlet of the heat exchange fluid flow path of the heat exchanger 25, and returns to the heat exchange fluid integration module 10 through the outlet connection pipeline 311, and then flows through the expansion tank 13 to complete the replenishment and exhaust of the heat exchange medium and then flows back into the battery, thereby completing the circulation of the heat exchange medium with a higher temperature in the heat exchange fluid circuit.
