Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle waterway technology, and in particular to an automobile waterway integrated module. Background Art

[0002] Existing electric vehicles all have three coolant circulation loops: the passenger compartment, the battery, and the motor's electronic control system. If these three coolant circulation loops were separately installed, they would require separate water pumps and expansion tanks. This not only takes up a lot of vehicle space, but also complicates the piping, making it difficult to route and assemble, impacting system performance and making assembly and maintenance difficult. To address this issue, integrated expansion tanks have emerged, connecting all three coolant circulation loops through a single expansion tank.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with application number: 202020224625.7 discloses an auxiliary water tank integrated structure including an auxiliary water tank and a water pump; the auxiliary water tank includes a connecting groove, a water outlet is provided in the middle of the connecting groove, and the water outlet is connected to the internal cavity of the auxiliary water tank; the outer end of the connecting groove is provided with a mounting end surface, and a plurality of mounting points are provided on the mounting end surface; the water pump includes a pump body, a connecting surface is provided on the outer wall of the pump body, a water inlet is provided at the front end of the pump body, and a first water outlet is provided on the upper end side wall of the pump body; the pump body is provided in the connecting groove and the water inlet is installed in the water outlet, and the connecting surface and the mounting end surface are positioned and fastened by bolts passing through the connecting surface and the mounting points on the mounting end surface; a second water outlet connected to the first water outlet is provided on the outer wall of the connecting groove.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventors believe that there are the following technical defects that need to be improved:

[0005] In common automotive water systems, the expansion tank is generally directly connected to the multi-way water valve. If a water pump needs to be connected, an additional auxiliary water tank is required to connect to the water pump. This design requires more layout space and relatively more pipes for connection, and also increases a certain leakage risk and corresponding costs. Utility Model Content

The expansion kettle 1 is a square structure as a whole and includes an upper kettle body 11, a lower kettle body 12 and a kettle cover 13. The top of the upper kettle body 11 is provided with a kettle mouth 111, and the kettle cover 13 is removably and sealedly assembled on the kettle mouth 111. The bottom of the lower kettle body 12 is provided with a water valve connecting seat 121.

Each water pump connecting seat 122 is provided with an inlet and outlet pipe 4, and the remaining inlet and outlet pipes 4 are distributed at intervals on the surrounding side of the lower kettle body 12, and all the inlet and outlet pipes 4 are arranged horizontally.

[0035] In order to enhance the firmness of the structural connection, the water valve connection seat 121 and the water pump connection seat 122 both protrude from the surface of the lower kettle body 12 and are integrally formed. Specifically, one of the water inlet and outlet pipes 4 is located between the water valve connection seat 121 and the water pump connection seat 122 and is arranged at the oblique angle of the lower kettle body 12.
