[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated water-cooled unit for cooling the battery in an electric vehicle.

[0030] The integrated water-cooled unit includes a controller device 1 and a compressor body 2. The controller device 1 includes a housing 11 and a compressor controller. The housing 11 includes a first receiving cavity 111, within which the compressor controller is housed. The compressor body 2 is mounted on the housing 11, with wiring connected to the compressor controller. This integrated design allows for reduced wiring and easier installation in electric vehicles. The controller device 1 also includes a PTC controller, a power controller, a water pump controller, and a fan controller, all housed within the first receiving cavity 111. This integration within the compressor controller's housing 11 reduces wiring loops, optimizes space, and eliminates the need for separate housings for each controller, thereby reducing the overall size of the integrated water-cooled unit. This allows for a more convenient increase in the number of batteries within the limited overall size of an electric vehicle.

[0031] Optionally, the integrated water-cooled unit includes a fan and a water pump, and adopts a high-voltage platform, with both the fan and water pump powered by 600V, thereby eliminating the use of a DC-DC converter, reducing the size of the power controller, and further reducing the internal space. Further optionally, a heat dissipation grille 116 is provided on the housing 11, which improves the air-cooling effect. Direct air cooling reduces the design of refrigerant pipes and cold plates, making the installation of the integrated water-cooled unit in electric vehicles more flexible.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the controller device 1 also includes a first control board 12 and a second control board 13 disposed in the first receiving cavity 111. The compressor controller, PTC controller and power controller are all disposed on the first control board 12, and the water pump controller and fan controller are all disposed on the second control board 13. At the same time, the first control board 12 and the second control board 13 are arranged in parallel and at intervals. Thus, by distributing several controllers on the first control board 12 and the second control board 13 respectively, the spatial positions of several controllers can be reasonably distributed, which facilitates the wiring layout and reduces the integration difficulty. Meanwhile, the outer casing 11 is equipped with a PTC interface 14, a power interface 15, a water pump interface 16, and a fan interface 17. The PTC interface 14 and the power interface 15 are both connected to the first control board 12, and the water pump interface 16 and the fan interface 17 are both connected to the second control board 13. Thus, through the PTC interface 14, the power interface 15, the water pump interface 16, and the fan interface 17, the controller device 1 can be connected to the PTC device, the power supply, the water pump, and the fan respectively to achieve communication connection. Furthermore, the PTC interface 14, the power interface 15, the water pump interface 16, and the fan interface 17 are all located on the side of the outer casing 11 closer to the compressor body 2. Thus, the PTC interface 14, the power interface 15, the water pump interface 16, and the fan interface 17, as well as the related wiring, occupy the space on the side of the compressor body 2 and do not occupy other space, thereby making the integrated water-cooled unit smaller in size.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the controller device 1 also includes a CCU control board 18, and the housing 11 also includes a second receiving cavity 112. The CCU control board 18 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 112. By providing an additional second receiving cavity 112 on the housing 11, the CCU control board 18 can be installed, allowing the CCU control board 18 to be integrated within the housing 11 of the compressor controller, thereby optimizing space and reducing the overall size of the integrated water-cooled unit. Optionally, the housing 11 is provided with a CCU interface 19, and the CCU interface 19 is connected to the CCU control board 18. Thus, the controller device 1 can be connected to a remote data device through the CCU interface 19 to achieve communication. The CCU interface 19 is located on the side of the housing 11 closer to the compressor body 2, so the CCU interface 19 and related wiring occupy the space on the side of the compressor body 2, without occupying other space, thereby miniaturizing the integrated water-cooled unit.

[0034] Furthermore, the outer casing 11 includes a first casing 113, a second casing 114, and a third casing 115. The first casing 113 and the second casing 114 are detachably connected to form a first receiving cavity 111, and the second casing 114 and the third casing 115 are detachably connected to form a second receiving cavity 112. Thus, the detachable connection of the first casing 113 and the second casing 114 facilitates the installation or maintenance of the compressor controller, PTC controller, power controller, water pump controller, and fan controller. The detachable connection of the second casing 114 and the third casing 115 facilitates the installation or maintenance of the CCU control board 18. Moreover, the first casing 113, the second casing 114, and the third casing 115 are all formed by integral molding, thereby increasing the overall IP protection level. The first housing 113 and the third housing 115 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second housing 114. The compressor body 2 is located in the second housing 114 and is adjacent to the third housing 115. Thus, the second housing 114, the second receiving cavity 112, and the CCU control board 18 all occupy the space on the side of the compressor body 2, thereby achieving further miniaturization of the integrated water-cooled unit. Optionally, the second housing 114 has a wiring through hole that connects the compressor body 2 and the first receiving cavity 111. The compressor body 2 can be connected to the compressor controller through the wiring through hole, so that the compressor controller and the compressor body 2 can be directly connected through the wiring through hole on the outer casing 11, thereby reducing wiring.

[0035] This embodiment also provides an electric vehicle including the aforementioned integrated water-cooled unit. By using the integrated water-cooled unit, the electric vehicle can integrate several controllers, reduce wiring loops, optimize space, and reduce the housing usage required when each controller is set up separately, thereby reducing the overall size of the integrated water-cooled unit. Under the condition that the overall volume of the electric vehicle is limited, it is convenient to increase the number of batteries.

[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
