Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0031] 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 utility model, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture.

When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or is impossible to implement, 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.
[0033] In the prior art, the thermal management device of a vehicle needs to control the cabin temperature, seat temperature, electric drive temperature, battery temperature, etc. Among them, the thermal management device mainly includes components such as a water kettle, a water pump, a heat exchanger, a valve body, etc. Due to the space limitation in the engine compartment, these components inevitably need to be arranged independently or partially independently. Generally speaking, the above components transfer heat through pipe fittings. Since the temperature control modes are becoming more and more diverse, the number of targets for which the pipe fittings need to transfer heat is increasing, which in turn leads to an increasing number of pipe fittings, making the layout in the engine compartment intricate, increasing the layout difficulty of the engine compartment, and thus increasing the installation and maintenance costs of various components in the engine compartment, especially the pipe fittings.
[0034] Before introducing the integrated pipeline, the structure of the thermal management device in this solution will be described first, as Figure 6 shown, the thermal management device of this solution includes a front heat dissipation module 200 located at the front of the vehicle, and a water side module 300, a compressor, and a heat exchange module 400 relatively close to the rear of the vehicle with respect to the front heat dissipation module 200. Among them, the heat exchange module 400 includes multiple heat exchangers, throttling elements, etc. The multiple heat exchangers and throttling elements are sequentially connected (can be connected through pipelines or through a flow channel plate), and then connected to the compressor to form a refrigerant circuit, that is, the heat exchange module 400 and the compressor are connected to form a refrigerant circuit. The water side module 300 integrates multiple water pumps and water valves, and the water pumps and water valves are connected through a flow channel plate or pipelines, and are connected to the heat exchange module 400 through an integrated pipeline to obtain the heat-exchanged coolant from the heat exchange module 400 and distribute the heat-exchanged coolant to each heat-exchange position of the vehicle to ensure that the temperature at each part of the vehicle is within a preset range. The front heat dissipation module 200 is connected to the water side module 300 to allow the high-temperature coolant after heat exchange to flow, and when the external air flows into the front heat dissipation module 200, it can dissipate the heat of the coolant to the outside of the vehicle to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation.
[0035] In the thermal management device of this solution, the water side module 300, the compressor, and the heat exchange module 400 are distributed in the vehicle width direction, that is, the Y direction. Moreover, the front heat dissipation module 200 also extends downwardly and obliquely relative to the water side module 300, the compressor, and the heat exchange module 400, forming an angle towards the rear and downward. Correspondingly, there is an accommodation space between the upper end of the inclined front heat dissipation module 200 and the water side module 300, the compressor, and the heat exchange module 400. The integrated pipeline of the present utility model is centrally installed in this accommodation space, forming a better zoning layout method, improving the space utilization rate of the engine compartment, facilitating the layout of other components, and facilitating the installation and maintenance of pipe fittings, thereby reducing the installation and maintenance costs. In addition, the inclined front heat dissipation module 200 increases the installation space above it, that is, increases the space of the front storage bin above it, so as to improve the user experience. Combined with the setting of the integrated pipeline, the compactness and space utilization rate of the engine compartment are further improved.
[0036] The present utility model provides an integrated pipeline.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the integrated pipeline is applied to a thermal management device. The thermal management device includes multiple functional modules. The integrated pipeline is used for transferring coolant between the multiple functional modules. The integrated pipeline includes:
[0038] A pipe body member 100, which is integrally provided with a plurality of non-communicating pipe bodies 110; and
[0039] A socket 120, which is connected to the port of the pipe body 110 for connecting to the functional module by means of plugging.
[0040] The technical solution of the present utility model integrally forms a plurality of pipe bodies 110 into a pipe body member 100, and a socket 120 is provided at the port of the pipe body 110. During the assembly process, first, the pipe body member 100 is installed at a predetermined position in the thermal management device, and then the socket 120 is connected to the functional module by means of plugging. In this way, the centralized arrangement of the pipe body member 100 is realized, avoiding the staggered arrangement of the pipe body member 100, reducing the complexity of the distribution of the pipe body member 100. Moreover, a plurality of pipe bodies 110 are integrally provided to form the pipe body member 100, and the pipe body member 100 has a good degree of concentration, which can make full use of the space at the predetermined position, thereby promoting the zoning layout of the positions of various components in the engine compartment, facilitating the installation and later maintenance of various components in the engine compartment. In addition, the socket 120 at the port of the pipe body 110 is quickly connected to the functional module by means of plugging, facilitating the connection between the pipe body 110 and the functional module, and reducing the installation difficulty of the pipe fittings during the assembly process of the thermal management device, thereby reducing the installation cost.
[0041] Among them, the pipe body member 100 can integrate multiple pipe bodies 110 by integral molding to facilitate the generation of the pipe body member 100. Or, the pipe body member 100 is divided into two half pipe members, and the two half pipe members are joined together by connection methods such as welding, melting, bonding or screwing to form the pipe body member 100. Similarly, the socket 120 can also be integrally formed with the pipe body member 100, or the socket 120 and the pipe body member 100 are separately formed and then connected to form an integrated pipeline. It can be understood that the integrated setting means integrating multiple pipe bodies 110 into one body, which can be integrated by integral molding, or multiple components enclose to form the passage of the pipe body 110, so that the integrated pipeline can be disassembled and assembled integrally.
[0042] In addition, as Figure 6 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 invention, 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.
[0043] It should be noted that the functional modules can be the front heat dissipation module 200, the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400, the compressor, etc., and can also include the heat exchange structure on the electric drive, the heat exchange structure on the battery or the heat exchange structure at the seat. Correspondingly, the heat management device has two different defined scopes. In the heat management device of one embodiment, it only includes the front heat dissipation module 200, the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400, the compressor, etc., and can realize integrated assembly. In this range, the pipe body 110 on the pipe body member 100 is used to transport refrigerant or coolant between the front heat dissipation module 200, the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400 or the compressor, so as to realize heat management interaction; or, in the heat management device of another embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned modules, it also includes the heat exchange structure on the electric drive, the vehicle machine or the battery. The pipe body 110 on the pipe body member 100 not only transports refrigerant or coolant to the front heat dissipation module 200, the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400 or the compressor, but also can transport coolant or refrigerant between the water side module 300 or the heat exchange module 400 and the heat exchange structure on the electric drive, the vehicle machine, the battery or the seat.
[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the pipe body member 100 is integrally formed by blow molding. It can be understood that forming the pipe body member 100 by one-time molding improves the molding efficiency of the pipe body member 100 and enhances the connection stability between multiple pipe bodies 110, thereby ensuring the integrity of the pipe body member 100. In addition, the material of the pipe body member 100 formed by blow molding is lighter, reducing the weight of the thermal management device, which conforms to the improvement trend of lightweight. Of course, in other embodiments, the pipe body member 100 can be divided into two half pipe members. The half pipe members are integrally formed by blow molding, and the two half pipe members are joined together by welding to form the pipe body member 100. Or, in another embodiment, the pipe body member 100 and the plug connector 120 are integrally formed by injection molding to improve the molding efficiency.
[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the pipe body 110 includes a first pipe section 111 and a second pipe section 112 that are connected. The first pipe sections 111 of multiple pipe bodies 110 are arranged in parallel, and the second pipe sections 112 are connected to the plug connector 120. The first pipe sections 111 of different pipe bodies 110 are in the same plane. The second pipe section 112 is connected to the end of the first pipe section 111 and extends toward the corresponding functional module. Then, the plug connector 120 is provided on the second pipe section 112. In this way, when installing the integrated pipeline, the first pipe section 111 is installed at a predetermined position. Among them, the row of first pipe sections 111 is attached to the upper end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200, that is, it is inclined upward and backward relative to the upper end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200. The plug connector 120 provided on the second pipe section 112 is opposite to the connector of the corresponding functional module. Plugging the plug connector 120 with the corresponding connector completes the installation of the integrated pipeline. Similarly, the passage for heat exchange between multiple functional modules is also connected. Of course, in other embodiments, the first pipe sections 111 of different pipe bodies 110 can be arranged in multiple layers, and each layer has multiple first pipe sections 111 arranged in parallel. Or, according to the shape of the upper end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200 and the accommodation space between the water side module 300, the compressor and the heat exchange module 400, the multiple first pipe sections 111 are arranged in a manner adapted to the accommodation space to improve the compactness. Or, multiple pipe bodies 110 are arranged in a circular arrangement to form a bundled tube shape, and a protective tube is also sleeved on the outer periphery.
[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the pipe body member 100 further includes a fixing portion 130, and the fixing portion 130 is connected to two adjacent first pipe segments 111. It can be understood that the first pipe segments 111 of different pipe bodies 110 are connected by the fixing portion 130. After the pipe body member 100 is installed, the interaction force between different pipe bodies 110 can be ensured, the integrity of the pipe body member 100 can be guaranteed, and thus the stability of the pipe body member 100 is improved. Among them, the pipe body 110 and the fixing portion 130 are integrally formed, or in other embodiments, the pipe body 110 and the fixing portion 130 are separately formed. The fixing portion 130 is formed on a connecting member, and the connecting member is provided with installation positions which are alternately arranged with the fixing portion 130, and the pipe body 110 is arranged at the installation positions.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the central axes of multiple first pipe segments 111 are in the same plane, and multiple fixing portions 130 are in the same plane and parallel to the plane determined by the central axes of the multiple first pipe segments 111. It should be noted that the central axis of the first pipe segment 111 represents the extending direction of the central axis in the extending direction of the first pipe segment 111. For the central axes of multiple first pipe segments 111 to be in the same plane, that is, on this plane, multiple first pipe segments 111 are symmetrically arranged. Similarly, multiple fixing portions 130 are also on this plane or parallel to this plane. In this way, the center of gravity of the pipe body member 100 can be better balanced, the installation stability of the pipe body member 100 can be guaranteed, and at the same time, during the process of flowing refrigerant or coolant in the pipe body 110, the situation that the pipe body member 100 is damaged due to large internal stress caused by uneven force can be avoided. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing portions 130 can also be arranged at an angle, and the extending planes of adjacent fixing portions 130 are staggeredly distributed.
[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , on the pipe body member 100, a deformation section is arranged on the second pipe segment 112, or a deformation section is arranged at the connection of the first pipe segment 111 and the second pipe segment 112. Among them, the deformation section has deformation capabilities such as axial expansion and radial bending. In this way, during the installation process of the integrated pipeline, the attitude of the socket 120 can be flexibly adjusted, and then the joints of the functional modules can be accurately aligned, thus facilitating the installation of the integrated pipeline.
[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5, the plug connector 120 is connected to the port of the tube body 110 by welding. Welding can ensure the connection stability between the plug connector 120 and the tube body 110 to prevent the refrigerant or coolant from leaking from the connection between the plug connector 120 and the tube body 110, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the plug connector 120 to be connected to the tube body 110. Without loss of generality, the material of the plug connector 120 is a hard material, and the hardness of the tube body 110 is lower than that of the plug connector 120. For example, the material of the plug connector 120 is a metal material, and the material of the tube body 110 is a plastic material. The tube body 110 and the plug connector 120 are connected by fusion welding. Of course, in other embodiments, the plug connector 120 and the tube body 110 can also be integrally formed by injection molding.
[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the second pipe section 112 is bent and extended compared to the first pipe section 111, and the sockets of the multiple plug connectors 120 are arranged on the same side of the pipe body 100. It should be noted that the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400 and the compressor are all located on the side of the integrated pipeline away from the front heat dissipation module 200. In this way, the second pipe section 112 is bent compared to the corresponding first pipe section 111, and a socket is opened on the same side. After the first pipe section 111 is installed in a predetermined position, one end of the second pipe section 112 where the plug connector 120 is arranged is adjacent to the functional module, and the plug connector 120 can be opposite to the plug of the corresponding functional module, thereby improving the installation convenience of the integrated pipeline. Of course, in other embodiments, the end of the pipe body 110 is made of flexible material. After the first pipe section 111 is installed, the technician can flexibly insert the plug connector 120 into the connector of the corresponding functional module to improve the installation convenience of the integrated pipeline.
[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4, the integrated pipeline is also provided with a shock-absorbing installation part 140. The shock-absorbing installation part 140 is connected to the pipe body part 100 and is located between adjacent pipe bodies 110, or at the end of the first pipe section 111 (this position is not shown in the figure), or between adjacent pipe bodies 110 and at the end of the first pipe section 111. The shock-absorbing installation part 140 is used for installing the integrated pipeline. Without loss of generality, the integrated pipeline is installed on the upper end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200. Correspondingly, the upper end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200 is provided with an installation position connected to the shock-absorbing installation part 140. After the shock-absorbing installation part 140 is connected to the installation position, there is a buffer gap between the pipe body 110 and the upper end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200. Combining with the main spring connected to the installation position on the shock-absorbing installation part 140, the energy generated by the vibration of the integrated pipeline can be absorbed, and space for the buffer of the pipe body 110 is provided to prevent the pipe body 110 from being damaged due to vibration. Specifically, the shock-absorbing installation part 140 is configured with a bayonet, the outer periphery of the main spring is clamped on the bayonet, and the central axis of the bayonet is connected to the installation position by means of bolt locking. In addition, a plurality of shock-absorbing installation parts 140 are evenly distributed on the pipe body part 100 to balance the vibration amplitude of each part of the pipe body part 100 during the vibration process.
[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5, the plug connector 120 has an external connection end 121 and an internal connection end 123. The port of the pipe body 110 is sleeved on the internal connection end 123. A clamping portion 122 is arranged inside the external connection end 121 for clamping the connector of the functional module. It can be understood that the inside of the internal connection end 123 and the external connection end 121 is connected. The internal connection end 123 is connected to the port of the pipe body 110 by welding or integrally forming to ensure the connection sealing performance between the plug connector 120 and the pipe member 100. Among them, the clamping portion 122 is arranged inside the external connection end 121. When the plug connector 120 is inserted into the connector of the functional module, the clamping portion 122 clamps on the outer periphery of the connector and makes the end of the connector abut against the step surface inside the external connection end 121, which not only improves the operation convenience of connecting the pipe member 100 to the functional module but also ensures the sealing performance at the connection between the plug connector 120 and the functional module. Without loss of generality, a female cavity for accommodating the connector is arranged inside the external connection end 121. The clamping portion 122 is arranged on the peripheral wall of the female cavity and has the ability to elastically deform in the radial direction. The step surface is formed on the side wall of the female cavity facing the opening and is arranged in a ring shape. Correspondingly, a clamping ring is arranged around the outer periphery of the connector of the functional module. In this way, when the plug connector 120 is connected to the connector on the functional module, the external connection end 121 can be connected to the connector without adjusting the plug connector 120 to a specific posture, thus improving the operation convenience of connecting the plug connector 120 to the connector of the functional module. Of course, in other embodiments, the plug connector 120 can also be configured as a male head, the connector of the functional module is configured as a female head, a clamping ring is arranged on the outer periphery of the plug connector 120, and an elastic clamping protrusion is arranged on the inner periphery of the female head. When the plug connector 120 is inserted into the connector of the functional module, the pipe member 100 is connected to the functional module.
[0053] The present utility model also provides a thermal management device. The thermal management device includes an integrated pipeline, and the specific structure of the integrated pipeline refers to the above embodiments. Since this thermal management device adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.
[0054] Among them, the thermal management device further includes a functional module, and the plug connector 120 is inserted into the connector of the functional module. In this embodiment, the functional module can be a water-side module 300, a heat exchange module 400, a front heat dissipation module 200. In another embodiment, the functional module can also include an electric drive module, a battery module, a seat heating module, etc.
[0055] Further, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5, the functional modules include a front heat dissipation module 200, a water side module 300, and a heat exchange module 400. The water side module 300 and the heat exchange module 400 are distributed along the Y direction. The front heat dissipation module 200 extends obliquely downward from the front side of the water side module 300 and the heat exchange module 400. The pipe member 100 is installed on the rear end face of the front heat dissipation module 200. It can be understood that the front heat dissipation module 200 is located on the front side of the column where the water side module 300 is located and extends forward and downward from the water side module 300 and the heat exchange module 400, thereby releasing the upper space of the front heat dissipation module 200 to increase the space of the front storage compartment. Among them, the front end face of the front heat dissipation module 200 is the front lower side end face of the front heat dissipation module 200, and the rear end face of the front heat dissipation module 200 is the rear upper side end face of the front heat dissipation module 200. At the same time, the integrated pipeline is arranged between the columns where the front heat dissipation module 200 and the heat exchange module 400 are located, making the pipe fittings layout in the engine compartment more regular, improving the space utilization rate of the engine compartment, and facilitating the installation and later maintenance of each component in the engine compartment.
[0056] Without loss of generality, in this embodiment, there is a certain buffer gap between the compressor and the front bulkhead. The buffer gap prevents the compressor from invading the driver's cab and ensures the safety of the driver and passengers. The water side module 300 and the heat exchange module 400 are arranged adjacent to both ends of the vehicle width, which is convenient for later component replacement or upgrade of each component of the water side module 300 and each component of the heat exchange module 400, improving the convenience in the later use stage. Among them, the refrigerant circulates between the compressor and the heat exchange module 400 through a flow channel plate to improve the integration and compactness. The flow channel plate can be arranged on the opposite side of the compressor and the heat exchange module 400, or can be arranged at the common bottom of the compressor and the heat exchange module 400. Alternatively, the refrigerant circulates between the compressor and the heat exchange module 400 through a pipeline.
