[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) involved in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0031] In addition, if the descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are involved in the embodiments of the present utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears throughout the text, its meaning includes three parallel scenarios. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes Scenario A, or Scenario B, or the scenario where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0032] In the prior art, the air-conditioning module of a vehicle is installed in the front engine compartment of the vehicle. Usually, the compressor and each heat exchanger of the air-conditioning module are arranged separately, and then the compressor is connected to each heat exchanger through a connecting pipeline to form a refrigerant cycle, so that the air-conditioning module needs to arrange multiple connecting pipelines, further increasing the complexity of the pipeline distribution in the front engine compartment. Moreover, for different refrigerants, since compressors and heat exchangers of different specifications and models are required, the compressor and the heat exchanger need to be replaced together. However, the steps required for disassembling and assembling the separately and independently arranged compressor and heat exchanger are numerous, which is not conducive to the replacement of the refrigerant.

[0033] The present utility model provides an air-conditioning module.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the air-conditioning module is applied to a vehicle, and the air-conditioning module includes:

[0035] A compressor 100;

[0036] A flow channel plate 200, the flow channel plate 200 abuts against the housing of the compressor 100, the flow channel plate 200 is provided with a refrigerant flow channel 210, and at the abutting portion of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100, the refrigerant flow channel 210 communicates with the compressor 100; and

[0037] A heat exchanger and a throttling element 500, the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 are arranged on the flow channel plate 200 and communicate with the refrigerant flow channel 210 to form a refrigerant circuit with the compressor 100.

[0038] The technical solution of the present utility model is to abut the compressor 100 against the flow channel plate 200. A refrigerant flow channel 210 is provided in the flow channel plate 200. The refrigerant flow channel 210 communicates with the compressor 100 at the abutting position of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100. Moreover, the refrigerant flow channel 210 of the flow channel plate 200 also communicates with the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500. That is to say, the compressor 100, the heat exchanger, and the throttling element 500 form a refrigerant circuit through the refrigerant flow channel 210 of the flow channel plate 200, so as to avoid arranging a connecting pipeline for connecting the compressor 100 and the heat exchanger outside the air-conditioning module, making the pipeline layout in the front engine compartment relatively simple, improving the compactness of the air-conditioning module, and thus improving the space utilization rate of the front engine compartment.

[0039] It should be noted that a plurality of refrigerant flow channels 210 are formed in the flow channel plate 200, and the refrigerant flow channels 210 are sequentially formed to communicate from the compressor 100 to the heat exchanger, from the heat exchanger to the throttling element 500, from the throttling element 500 to another heat exchanger, and from the other heat exchanger to the compressor 100, thereby forming a refrigerant circuit. It can be understood that there are a plurality of heat exchangers, and the plurality of heat exchangers and the throttling element 500 can be arranged on the extending plane of the flow channel plate 200, or can be arranged on the plane distributed in the thickness direction of the flow channel plate 200. Similarly, the abutting position of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 can be the extending plane of the flow channel plate 200, or can be on the plane distributed in the thickness direction of the flow channel plate 200, presenting: the extending plane of the flow channel plate 200 is perpendicular or intersects the axial direction of the compressor 100, and can be on the side or end of the compressor 100 in the axial direction of the flow channel plate 200, or the extending plane of the flow channel plate 200 is parallel to the axial direction of the compressor 100, and can be on the side or end of the compressor 100 in the axial direction of the flow channel plate 200.

[0040] Here, the flow channel plate 200 is in a plate shape, and the thickness direction is the direction where the thickness is located in its form. Similarly, as Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, the Y direction is referred to as the vehicle width direction, the X direction is referred to as the vehicle length direction, and the Z direction is referred to as the vehicle height direction. In the embodiments of the present utility model, there are directional indications. For example, up, down, front, back, left, right, etc. are all referenced based on the normal use state of the vehicle. If this specific posture changes, then the directional indication also changes accordingly.

[0041] Among them, the flow channel plate 200 abuts against the compressor 100, and components such as the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 are installed on the flow channel plate 200, so that the integrity of the air-conditioning module is better. Since different refrigerants require different specifications and models of the compressor 100 and the heat exchanger, that is, different refrigerants are adapted to different air-conditioning modules. For the highly integrated air-conditioning module of this embodiment, when replacing different refrigerants, the air-conditioning module can be disassembled and assembled integrally on the vehicle frame, thereby improving the operational convenience of replacing the refrigerant. Without loss of generality, when the air-conditioning module is installed on the vehicle frame, the same shock-absorbing bracket can be used to install on the vehicle frame, reducing the complexity and installation difficulty of the shock-absorbing bracket.

[0042] Regarding the connection method between the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100, the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 can be separately formed and then connected, so that the refrigerant flow channel 210 communicates with the compressor 100 at the abutting portion of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100, specifically connected by means such as screwing, clamping, and inserting pins, or the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 can be integrally formed. In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the outer shells of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 are integrally formed. In this way, the assembly operation steps of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 are reduced, and moreover, the problem of misalignment of the docking of the refrigerant flow channel 210 caused by the post-installation between the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 is avoided, ensuring the sealing performance of the connection between the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100. In addition, the outer shells of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 are integrally formed, which can improve the disassembly and assembly convenience of replacing the air-conditioning module when the refrigerant needs to be replaced.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the extending direction of the flow channel plate 200 is parallel to the axial direction of the compressor 100. It should be noted that the flow channel plate 200 can extend along the axial direction parallel to the compressor 100, or there is a certain included angle between the extending plane of the flow channel plate 200 and the axial direction of the compressor 100. In this way, the abutting surface between the compressor 100 and the flow channel plate 200 can be improved, adapting to the interface position of the refrigerant inlet and outlet of the compressor 100, and then shortening the length of the channel between the compressor 100 and the flow channel plate 200, that is, shortening the length of the refrigerant circuit, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air-conditioning module. In addition, the extending direction of the flow channel plate 200 is parallel to the axial direction of the compressor 100, reducing the complexity of the connection structure between the compressor 100 and the flow channel plate 200 and facilitating the forming of the compressor 100 and the flow channel plate 200. Of course, in another embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the extending direction of the flow channel plate 200 can also be perpendicular to the axial direction of the compressor 100, and the flow channel plate 200 is arranged on the axial side of the compressor 100, and the side wall of the flow channel plate 200 extending along the thickness direction abuts against and communicates with the compressor 100.

[0044] Without loss of generality, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 are horizontally distributed, and the bottoms of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 are on the same horizontal plane, so that both the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 can be installed on the same shock-absorbing bracket. Or, in another embodiment, the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 are horizontally distributed, and there is a height difference between the bottoms of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100. Or, the distribution direction of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 has an angle with the horizontal direction. The shock-absorbing bracket is provided with shock-absorbing connection parts at different height positions, and the compressor 100 and the flow channel plate 200 are installed on the shock-absorbing connection parts at different heights, so as to realize the installation of the air-conditioning module and ensure the stability of the air-conditioning module.

[0045] Further, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the heat exchanger is arranged on the side of the flow channel plate 200 facing away from the compressor 100. It can be understood that in the thickness direction of the flow channel plate 200, one side of the flow channel plate 200 is connected to the compressor 100, and the other side is connected to the heat exchanger, which can shorten the length of the refrigerant flow channel 210 of the flow channel plate 200 and improve the compactness of the air-conditioning module. For the throttling element 500, the throttling element 500 is arranged on the side part of the flow channel plate 200, and can be arranged on the same side as the heat exchanger, or on the same side as the compressor 100, or arranged on the side wall of the flow channel plate 200 extending along the thickness direction. Wherein, the length of the flow channel plate 200 in the axial direction of the compressor 100 is equivalent to the axial length of the compressor 100. The heat exchanger is arranged on the side of the flow channel plate 200 facing away from the compressor 100, which can make the whole air-conditioning module more regular and is beneficial to the installation stability of the air-conditioning module. Of course, in other embodiments, the flow channel plate 200 can also be set larger so that the heat exchanger can be connected to the same side of the flow channel plate 200 as the compressor 100.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the heat exchanger and the flow channel plate 200 are detachably connected. After the air-conditioning module is used for a period of time, due to the differences in durability between different heat exchangers or between the heat exchanger, the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100, it is necessary to replace the heat exchanger. Thus, by detachably connecting the heat exchanger to the flow channel plate 200, it is not only convenient for the assembly of the air-conditioning module, but also convenient to detach the heat exchanger from the flow channel plate 200, reducing the subsequent maintenance difficulty and cost. In addition, the detachable connection method enables the air-conditioning module to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, when it is necessary to increase or decrease the number of heat exchangers, only the corresponding components need to be simply replaced or added or subtracted, without large-scale modification of the air-conditioning module. Specifically, the heat exchanger is detachably connected to the flow channel plate 200 by means of bolt locking or clamping. Of course, in other embodiments, the heat exchanger can also be integrally formed or fixedly connected with the flow channel plate 200.

[0047] Further, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 are abutted against the opposite side of the flow channel plate 200. The flow channel plate 200 is provided with a communication port communicating with the refrigerant flow channel 210. The heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 cover and communicate with the corresponding communication port. It can be understood that the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 have side walls that fit against the flow channel plate 200. Moreover, at the joint between the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 and the flow channel plate 200, the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 are provided with connection ports, and the flow channel plate 200 is provided with communication ports communicating with the refrigerant flow channel 210, and the connection ports and the communication ports are relatively communicated. In this way, there is a tight connection relationship between the heat exchanger or the throttling element 500 and the flow channel plate 200, improving the compactness of the air-conditioning module. At the same time, after the heat exchanger or the throttling element 500 abuts against the flow channel plate 200, that is, the heat exchanger or the throttling element 500 communicates with the corresponding refrigerant flow channel 210, simplifying the installation process of the heat exchanger or the throttling element 500. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible to protrude a communication ring on the flow channel plate 200, and the heat exchanger or the throttling element 500 is screwed onto the corresponding communication ring to realize the communication between the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 and the flow channel plate 200.

[0048] Regarding the connection method between the heat exchanger and the flow channel plate 200, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a plurality of connecting lugs 601 protruding outward are distributed on the peripheries of the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500, and the connecting lugs 601 are connected to the side of the flow channel plate 200 that abuts against the heat exchanger or the throttling element 500. It can be understood that the connecting lugs 601 also abut against the flow channel plate 200. In this way, the connection relationship between the connecting lugs 601 and the flow channel plate 200 provides stable support and positioning for the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500, ensuring that they will not loosen or shift due to vibration or external force during operation. At the same time, the connecting lugs 601 are exposed on the outer peripheries of the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500, and the installer can more conveniently and quickly fix the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 on the flow channel plate 200 without additional fixing parts or complex installation steps. Without loss of generality, at the abutting portion between the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 and the flow channel plate 200, a sealing ring is clamped around the periphery of the communication port, and the tight fit between the connecting lugs 601 and the flow channel plate 200 is used to press against the sealing ring, thereby reducing the risk of refrigerant leakage and improving the sealing performance of the air-conditioning module. Of course, in other embodiments, internal threads can also be provided on the periphery of the communication port, and external threads can be provided on the outer peripheries of the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500, and then the heat exchanger and the throttling element 500 can be installed on the flow channel plate 200 by means of threaded connection.

[0049] In one embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 3, the air-conditioning module includes multiple heat exchangers and a liquid receiver dryer 400 disposed on the same side as the heat exchangers. The multiple heat exchangers include a condenser 301 and an evaporator 302. The liquid receiver dryer 400 and the condenser 301 are arranged side by side at the lower part of the flow channel plate 200, and the evaporator 302 is arranged at the upper part of the flow channel plate 200. It should be noted that the condenser 301 and the liquid receiver dryer 400 are relatively large in volume, and the extending direction of the flow channel plate 200 is parallel to the vertical direction. Arranging the condenser 301 and the liquid receiver dryer 400 side by side at the lower part is beneficial to ensuring the stability of the air-conditioning module. At the same time, the circulation sequence of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit is successively: compressor 100, condenser 301, liquid receiver dryer 400, throttling element 500, evaporator 302, compressor 100. Arranging the condenser 301 and the liquid receiver dryer 400 at the lower part shortens the refrigerant flow channel 210 connecting the condenser 301 and the liquid receiver dryer 400. Then, arranging the evaporator 302 at the upper part can shorten the refrigerant flow channel 210 between the liquid receiver dryer 400 and the evaporator 302, thereby reducing the volume of the flow channel plate 200 and improving the compactness of the air-conditioning module. Of course, in other embodiments, the condenser 301 can also be arranged at the upper part of the flow channel plate 200, and the evaporator 302 can be arranged at the lower part of the flow channel plate 200.

[0050] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the connection positions of the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 are respectively at the upper and lower parts of the flow channel plate 200. For example, the position where the refrigerant flows into the flow channel plate 200 from the compressor 100 is at the lower part of the flow channel plate 200, opposite to the condenser 301 along the thickness direction of the flow channel plate 200. Also, for example, the position where the refrigerant flows into the compressor 100 from the evaporator 302 is at the upper part of the flow channel plate 200, opposite to the evaporator 302 along the thickness direction of the flow channel plate 200. In this way, the length of the refrigerant flow channel 210 connecting the flow channel plate 200 and the compressor 100 is shortened, and the compactness of the air-conditioning module is improved.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3, the heat exchanger includes an evaporator 302. The throttling element 500 and the evaporator 302 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the flow channel plate 200 in the thickness direction and are oppositely arranged. Referring to the above description of the refrigerant circuit, the evaporator 302 and the throttling element 500 are in adjacent positions in the upstream and downstream of the refrigerant circuit. Thus, by arranging the throttling element 500 and the evaporator 302 oppositely in the thickness direction of the flow channel plate 200, the length of the refrigerant flow channel 210 connecting the evaporator 302 and the throttling element 500 can be shortened, and the compactness of the air-conditioning module can be improved. Among them, it can be based on the fact that the heat exchanger and the compressor 100 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the flow channel plate 200 in the thickness direction distribution, that is, the throttling element 500 and the compressor 100 are on the same side of the flow channel plate 200, or the compressor 100 is connected to the side of the flow channel plate 200 extending in the thickness direction, and the throttling element 500 and the evaporator 302 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the flow channel plate 200 in the thickness direction distribution. Of course, in other embodiments, the throttling element 500 and the heat exchanger can be disposed on the same side of the flow channel plate 200, or the throttling element 500 is disposed on the side of the flow channel plate 200 extending in the thickness direction.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , on the side of the flow channel plate 200 opposite to the compressor 100, the flow channel plate 200 has an installation area exposed outside the compressor 100. The throttling element 500 includes an expansion valve, and the expansion valve is disposed in the installation area. It can be understood that referring to the above description that the compressor 100 and the heat exchanger are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the flow channel plate 200 in the thickness direction, the flow channel plate 200 has a part protruding outside the casing of the compressor 100. On the side of the flow channel plate 200 connected to the compressor 100, the part of the flow channel plate 200 except the part connected to the compressor 100 is configured as the installation area. Thus, by disposing the expansion valve in the installation area, the refrigerant flow channel 210 connecting the heat exchangers can have communication ports on both sides of the flow channel plate 200 in the thickness direction, thereby shortening the length of the refrigerant flow channel 210 and reducing the space occupied by the flow channel plate 200, so as to improve the compactness of the air-conditioning module. Of course, in other embodiments, the expansion valve can also be disposed on the same side of the flow channel plate 200 as the heat exchanger and is between the condenser 301 and the evaporator 302.

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4The heat exchanger is provided with a coolant interface 602, which is used to connect to the water pump or water valve of the vehicle and is formed on the side of the heat exchanger away from the flow channel plate 200. Without loss of generality, the water pump and the water valve are integrated through the water side flow channel plate to form a water side module. The water side module and the air conditioning module can be distributed along the vehicle width direction or along the vehicle length direction. Here, the coolant interface 602 is formed on the side of the heat exchanger away from the flow channel plate 200, that is, the coolant interface 602 of the air conditioning module is arranged in the same direction. In this way, in the operation of connecting the coolant interface 602 to the water pump or water valve, the convenience of connecting the coolant interface 602 with the pipeline can be improved. At the same time, the coolant interface 602 opened on the same side allows the pipeline to be concentrated on one side of the air conditioning module, so that the connecting pipeline between the air conditioning module and the water pump or water valve is relatively neat, reducing the complexity of the pipeline in the front cabin, so as to facilitate the subsequent replacement or maintenance of the air conditioning module. Of course, in other embodiments, the coolant interface 602 may also be disposed on different sides of the heat exchanger to accommodate different independently distributed water pumps or water valves.

[0054] The utility model also proposes a thermal management device, which includes a water side module and an air conditioning module, and the water side module is connected to a heat exchanger. The specific structure of the air conditioning module refers to the above embodiment. Since the thermal management device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0055] Among them, the water side module includes components such as a water side flow channel plate, a water pump and a water valve. The water pump and the water valve are integrated on the water side flow channel plate and connected through the water side flow channel of the water side flow channel plate, so as to distribute the coolant after heat exchange by the air-conditioning module to various positions to be exchanged in the vehicle, thereby improving the richness of the vehicle's thermal management mode, reducing the space occupied by the thermal management device, and improving the space utilization of the front cabin.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the thermal management device further includes a front heat dissipation module, a water side module, and an air conditioning module, which are distributed along the Y direction of the vehicle. The front heat dissipation module extends obliquely downward from the front side of the water side module and the air conditioning module. The external pipeline connecting the water side module and the air conditioning module is installed on the rear end face of the front heat dissipation module. It can be understood that along the vehicle length direction, the front heat dissipation module is located on the front side of the column where the air conditioning module is located and extends forward and downward from the water side module and the air conditioning module, thereby releasing the upper space of the front heat dissipation module to increase the space of the front storage compartment. Among them, the front end face of the front heat dissipation module is the front lower side end face of the front heat dissipation module, and the rear end face of the front heat dissipation module is the rear upper side end face. At the same time, the external pipeline is arranged between the front heat dissipation module and the column where the air conditioning module is located, making the pipe fittings arrangement in the engine compartment more regular, improving the space utilization rate of the front engine compartment, and facilitating the installation and later maintenance of each component in the front engine compartment. It should be noted that the water side module integrates multiple water pumps and water valves, and the water pumps and water valves are connected through a flow channel plate or a pipeline and are connected to the air conditioning module through an integrated pipeline to obtain the heat-exchanged coolant from the air conditioning module and distribute the heat-exchanged coolant to each heat-exchange position of the vehicle to ensure that the temperature of each part of the vehicle is within a preset range. The front heat dissipation module is connected to the water side module and is used for the coolant to flow. When the external air flows into the front heat dissipation module, it can dissipate the heat of the coolant to the outside of the vehicle to achieve the heat dissipation effect.
