[0003] The battery device releases a large amount of heat during charging and discharging. The refrigerant heat exchange component is usually arranged in the battery device to exchange heat with the battery monomer assembly inside the battery device to achieve the purpose of cooling.
[0004] In the related art, the surface of the refrigerant heat exchange component is prone to temperature imbalance, which leads to different cooling effects of different regions of the refrigerant heat exchange component on the battery monomer assembly, and further affects the use performance and service life of the battery device. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a battery device, a refrigerant heat exchange component and an electric device, which aims to solve the problem of temperature imbalance on the surface of the refrigerant heat exchange component in the related art, which affects the cooling effect on the battery monomer assembly.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solutions adopted by the embodiments of the present application are as follows:
[0007] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a battery device, which comprises a battery monomer assembly and a refrigerant heat exchange component. The refrigerant heat exchange component is configured to exchange heat with the battery monomer assembly. The refrigerant heat exchange component has a first heat exchange flow channel and a second heat exchange flow channel inside. The refrigerant heat exchange component forms a heat exchange region corresponding to the first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel. The heat exchange region is arranged close to or in contact with the battery monomer assembly. A central axis is formed between the first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel. The first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel are symmetrically arranged about the central axis. A joint component is arranged on the refrigerant heat exchange component. The joint component has a guide inlet and a guide outlet inside. A shunt node is formed inside the joint component or the refrigerant heat exchange component. The guide inlet is connected to the first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel through the shunt node. The guide outlet is connected to the first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel. The shunt node is located on the central axis or adjacent to the central axis.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this application embodiment are as follows: The battery device provided in this application embodiment utilizes the heat exchange area of the refrigerant heat exchange component to perform heat exchange and cooling treatment on the battery cell assembly. In the heat exchange area, the first and second heat exchange channels inside the refrigerant heat exchange component are symmetrically arranged about the central axis. At the same time, the flow splitting node is set on or adjacent to the central axis. Thus, during the process of the heat exchange medium introduced by the connector component through the inlet into the first and second heat exchange channels through the flow splitting node, because the flow splitting node is close to the central axis, the flow splitting node can distribute the heat exchange medium more evenly to the first and second heat exchange channels, making the flow of the heat exchange medium in the symmetrical first and second heat exchange channels more balanced. This can effectively reduce the temperature difference in the heat exchange area caused by uneven flow splitting, thereby improving the temperature uniformity of the heat exchange area of the refrigerant heat exchange component, and thus improving the cooling effect on the battery cell assembly, so as to ensure the performance and service life of the battery device.
[0009] In some embodiments, the distance between the diversion node and the central axis is m, where 0 ≤ m ≤ 50 mm.

[0062] In recent years, new energy vehicles have made a leap in development, and the market share of new energy vehicles is becoming higher and higher; fast and efficient charging is a problem to be solved in the new energy vehicle industry. Fast charging is a mainstream solution for new energy vehicles to achieve fast energy replenishment, and there are many challenges in the implementation process. A large amount of heat will be generated in the battery monomer during fast charging, which will cause the internal temperature of the battery to rise sharply, and then seriously affect the use performance and service life of the battery. In the related technology, the battery device mainly uses a cold plate to exchange heat and cool the internal battery monomer. The heat exchange medium is introduced into the flow channel of the cold plate, and the heat exchange medium flows through the flow channel and exchanges heat with the battery monomer in the box to achieve heat dissipation. However, due to the uneven distribution of the heat exchange medium in multiple flow channels, the surface of the cold plate is prone to temperature imbalance, which leads to different cooling effects of the different regions of the refrigerant heat exchange component on the battery monomer assembly, and then affects the use performance and service life of the battery device.
[0063] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem that the uneven temperature of the surface of the refrigerant heat exchange component in the related art affects the cooling effect of the battery monomer assembly, a battery device is designed. The first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel are symmetrically arranged about the central axis inside the refrigerant heat exchange component of the battery device, and the shunt node is arranged on or close to the central axis. In this way, the uniformity of the heat exchange medium introduced by the inlet of the joint component into the first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel is more optimal, so that the flow of the heat exchange medium in the symmetrical first heat exchange flow channel and the second heat exchange flow channel is more balanced, thereby effectively reducing the temperature difference of the heat exchange area caused by uneven shunting, improving the temperature uniformity of the heat exchange area of the refrigerant heat exchange component, and further improving the cooling effect of the battery monomer assembly, so as to ensure the use performance and service life of the battery device.

[0085] The refrigerant heat exchange component 30 has a first heat exchange flow channel 311 and a second heat exchange flow channel 312 inside; wherein the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 respectively refer to the flow channel structure formed inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, the heat exchange medium can flow inside the flow channel structure, and the heat exchange medium can fully contact the inner wall surface of the flow channel structure, so that the heat exchange medium can absorb the heat emitted by the battery monomer assembly 210 through the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 to achieve the purpose of heat exchange and heat dissipation. For example, in some embodiments, the heat exchange medium can use freon, alkane, ammonia, carbon dioxide, difluoromethane, tetrafluoroethane, etc.; the heat exchange medium of the above-mentioned materials changes phase in the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 to absorb heat, so as to achieve the purpose of heat absorption and rapid cooling.
[0086] The heat exchange region 31 refers to a region on the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 corresponding to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312. It should be understood that in the heat exchange region 31, the heat exchange medium has a better heat exchange effect with the outside through the refrigerant heat exchange component 30. The heat exchange region 31 is arranged close to or in contact with the battery monomer assembly 210, so that the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 have a better heat exchange cooling effect on the battery monomer assembly 210. For example, in some embodiments, the battery monomer assembly 210 can be arranged close to or in contact with the heat exchange region 31 of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 by abutting, bonding, snap connection, bracket connection, etc.
[0087] The number of the first heat exchange flow channel 311 can be one or any multiple of more than one. It should be understood that one first heat exchange flow channel 311 refers to a complete flow channel structure simultaneously connected to the shunt node 33 and the guide outlet 322 of the joint component 32. The heat exchange medium can be introduced from the guide inlet 321 of the joint component 32 to the shunt node 33, and shunted from the shunt node 33 to the first heat exchange flow channel 311, and then exported from the guide outlet 322 after flowing through the first heat exchange flow channel 311. Similarly, the number of the second heat exchange flow channel 312 can be one or any multiple of more than one. It should be understood that one second heat exchange flow channel 312 refers to a complete flow channel structure simultaneously connected to the shunt node 33 and the guide outlet 322 of the joint component 32. The heat exchange medium can be introduced from the guide inlet 321 of the joint component 32 to the shunt node 33, and shunted from the shunt node 33 to the second heat exchange flow channel 312, and then exported from the guide outlet 322 after flowing through the second heat exchange flow channel 312.
[0088] The first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301. The central axis 301 can be any straight line parallel to the surface of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30. For example, the central axis 301 can be the symmetry axis of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, or any straight line intersecting the symmetry axis of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30. In some embodiments, when the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 is a rectangular plate structure, the central axis 301 can be the symmetry axis of the rectangular plate structure, for example, the symmetry axis parallel to the side of the rectangular plate structure, or the symmetry axis passing through the opposite two top corners, etc.
[0089] The joint part 32 is arranged on the refrigerant heat exchange part 30, and is optionally fixedly assembled on the refrigerant heat exchange part 30 by a welding process (e.g., brazing). The joint part 32 is internally provided with a guide inlet 321 and a guide outlet 322. It can be understood that the guide inlet 321 is used to guide the heat exchange medium into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the flow splitting node 33; and the guide outlet 322 is used to guide the heat exchange medium in the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 out to the outside.
[0090] The flow splitting node 33 can be a flow channel node for splitting to form multiple streams of fluid. The flow splitting node 33 can be arranged in the joint part 32, i.e., after the guide inlet 321 splits the heat exchange medium into multiple streams of fluid, the multiple streams of fluid are guided into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 inside the refrigerant heat exchange part 30; or the flow splitting node 33 can be arranged in the refrigerant heat exchange part 30, i.e., the joint part 32 guides a stream of heat exchange medium into the refrigerant heat exchange part 30 through the guide inlet 321, and the flow splitting node 33 splits the stream of heat exchange medium into multiple streams of fluid which are then guided into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312.
[0091] In this embodiment, the flow splitting node 33 is arranged on the central axis 301, or is arranged adjacent to the central axis 301. In this way, after the joint part 32 guides the heat exchange medium into the flow splitting node 33 through the guide inlet 321, the flow splitting node 33 located on or adjacent to the central axis 301 splits the heat exchange medium to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 which are symmetric about the central axis 301, and the uniformity of the split of the heat exchange medium to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 is higher, thereby improving the balance of the flow in the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312.
[0092] The battery device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application utilizes the heat exchange region 31 of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 to perform heat exchange and cooling processing on the battery monomer assembly 210. In the heat exchange region 31, the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301, and the shunt node 33 is arranged on or adjacent to the central axis 301. In this way, during the process in which the heat exchange medium introduced into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the shunt node 33 by the joint component 32 through the inlet 321, the shunt node 33 can more uniformly distribute the heat exchange medium to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312, so that the flow of the heat exchange medium in the symmetric first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 is more balanced, thereby effectively reducing the temperature difference of the heat exchange region 31 caused by uneven distribution, improving the uniformity of the heat exchange region 31 of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, and further improving the cooling effect on the battery monomer assembly 210, so as to guarantee the use performance and service life of the battery device 100.
[0093] For reference Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the distance between the shunt node 33 and the central axis 301 is m, where 0≤m≤50mm.
[0094] It should be understood that the distance m between the shunt node 33 and the central axis 301 refers to the distance from the shunt node 33 to the central axis 301 in the direction perpendicular to the central axis 301. For example, in some embodiments, the shunt node 33 can be arranged inside the joint component 32, and the joint component 32 is arranged away from the central axis 301, as shown in Figure 5 The distance between the joint component 32 and the central axis 301 is m.
[0095] In the embodiments, the distance m between the shunt node 33 and the central axis 301 is limited to be less than or equal to 50mm. For example, the distance m between the shunt node 33 and the central axis 301 can be 0, in which case the shunt node 33 is located on the central axis 301; or the distance m between the shunt node 33 and the central axis 301 can be any value less than 50mm, such as but not limited to 1mm, 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, etc.
[0096] In this way, the distance between the shunt node 33 and the central axis 301 is limited to be within the range of less than or equal to 50mm, so that the shunt node 33 is arranged close to or on the central axis 301, thereby improving the uniformity of the shunt node 33 in distributing the heat exchange medium to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312.
[0097] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments, the shunt node 33 is arranged inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, and the first shunt flow channel 34 and the second shunt flow channel 35 are also arranged inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30. The shunt node 33 is connected to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 through the first shunt flow channel 34, and the shunt node 33 is connected to the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the second shunt flow channel 35.
[0098] The shunt node 33 is arranged inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, that is, the heat exchange medium can be introduced into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the shunt node 33 after being shunted inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30.
[0099] Optionally, the shunt node 33 can be arranged inside any position of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30. For example, the shunt node 33 can be arranged at the position where the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 is arranged with the joint component 32, such as being arranged opposite to the inlet 321 of the joint component 32, or being arranged close to or adjacent to the joint component 32. Alternatively, the shunt node 33 can be arranged inside the heat exchange region 31, such as being arranged at any position between the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312. Alternatively, the shunt node 33 can also be arranged between the joint component 32 and the heat exchange region 31.
[0100] The first shunt flow channel 34 and the second shunt flow channel 35 respectively refer to flow channel structures formed inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, and the heat exchange medium can flow inside the flow channel structures. The first shunt flow channel 34 is used to connect the shunt node 33 and the first heat exchange flow channel 311, and the second shunt flow channel 35 is used to connect the shunt node 33 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312. Thus, the heat exchange medium can be introduced into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 through the first shunt flow channel 34 and introduced into the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the second shunt flow channel 35 at the shunt node 33, so as to achieve the purpose of being shunted to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the shunt node 33.
[0101] The number of the first shunt flow channel 34 can be one, two, or any multiple of two or more. When the number of the first shunt flow channel 34 is multiple, the multiple first shunt flow channels 34 can be respectively connected to the same position or different positions of the first heat exchange flow channel 311. Thus, the shunt node 33 can introduce the heat exchange medium into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 through one or more first shunt flow channels 34.
[0102] Similarly, the number of the second branch flow channels 35 can be one, two or any multiple of two; when the number of the second branch flow channels 35 is multiple, the multiple second branch flow channels 35 can be connected to the same or different positions of the second heat exchange flow channel 312 respectively. Thus, the branch node 33 can introduce the heat exchange medium into the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through one or more second branch flow channels 35 synchronously.
[0103] In this way, the introduction port 321 of the joint component 32 can introduce the heat exchange medium into the branch node 33 inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, and the heat exchange medium is branched to the first branch flow channel 34 and the second branch flow channel 35 at the branch node 33, and is introduced into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 by the first branch flow channel 34, and is introduced into the second heat exchange flow channel 312 by the second branch flow channel 35.
[0104] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the introduction port 321 is opposite to the branch node 33.
[0105] In this embodiment, the branch node 33 inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 is arranged opposite to the introduction port 321 of the joint component 32 arranged on the refrigerant heat exchange component 30; that is, the branch node 33 is arranged at the position of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 for mounting the joint component 32, and when the joint component 32 is fixedly mounted on the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, the introduction port 321 of the joint component 32 is opposite to the branch node 33.
[0106] In this way, when the joint component 32 introduces the heat exchange medium into the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 through the introduction port 321, the heat exchange medium can be directly introduced into the branch node 33 from the introduction port 321, and then branched to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 synchronously by the branch node 33.
[0107] It should be understood that after the heat exchange medium enters the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, the heat exchange medium starts to undergo the phase change heat absorption process, and the dryness of the heat exchange medium gradually increases.
[0108] In this way, since the dryness of the heat exchange medium introduced from the introduction port 321 is the smallest, the smaller the dryness, the smaller the influence on the branching, and the heat exchange medium introduced by the introduction port 321 can directly enter the branch node 33 and be branched to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the branch node 33, so that the influence of the dryness of the heat exchange medium on the branching can be effectively reduced, thereby further improving the uniformity of the branching.
[0109] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the inner part of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 is further provided with a flow guide channel 36, one end of the flow guide channel 36 is communicated with the guide inlet 321, and the other end of the flow guide channel 36 is communicated with the flow distribution node 33.
[0110] In the present embodiment, the flow distribution node 33 is arranged at any position of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 outside the joint component 32. The joint component 32 guides the heat exchange medium into the flow guide channel 36 through the guide inlet 321, and the heat exchange medium is guided into the flow distribution node 33 through the flow guide channel 36, and then is distributed to the first heat exchange channel 311 and the second heat exchange channel 312 for heat exchange operation.
[0111] The flow guide channel 36 refers to a flow channel structure formed in the inner part of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, and the heat exchange medium can flow in the flow channel structure. Optionally, the number of flow guide channels 36 can be one, two or any multiple; for example, when the number of flow guide channels 36 is one, the heat exchange medium guided by the guide inlet 321 is guided to the flow distribution node 33 through the flow guide channel 36, as shown in Figure 7 When the number of flow guide channels 36 is multiple, for example, two, the number of flow distribution nodes 33 can also be two, and the two flow guide channels 36 and the two flow distribution nodes 33 can be symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301, and the heat exchange medium guided by the guide inlet 321 can be simultaneously guided to the two flow distribution nodes 33 through the two flow guide channels 36, respectively, and then is guided into the first heat exchange channel 311 and the second heat exchange channel 312 by the two flow distribution nodes 33, respectively.
[0112] In this way, the heat exchange medium guided by the guide inlet 321 can be guided to the flow distribution node 33 through the flow guide channel 36, and then is distributed to the first heat exchange channel 311 and the second heat exchange channel 312 by the flow distribution node 33. In this way, the flow distribution node 33 can be arranged at any position of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, for example, arranged in the heat exchange region 31 or arranged in the region between the heat exchange region 31 and the joint component 32, so as to facilitate different use scenarios of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30.
[0113] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the flow distribution node 33 is located in the heat exchange region 31.
[0114] In the present embodiment, the flow distribution node 33 is located in the heat exchange region 31; for example, the flow distribution node 33 can be located between the first heat exchange channel 311 and the second heat exchange channel 312 and at the middle part of the heat exchange region 31, as shown in Figure 6 Or, the flow distribution node 33 can be located between the first heat exchange channel 311 and the second heat exchange channel 312 and at the edge of the heat exchange region 31.
[0115] In this way, the heat exchange medium introduced by the introduction port 321 can be directly introduced into the heat exchange region 31 through the flow guide flow channel 36, and then distributed to the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 by the distribution node 33 in the heat exchange region 31.
[0116] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the distribution node 33 is located between the heat exchange region 31 and the joint component 32.
[0117] In this embodiment, the distribution node 33 is arranged between the heat exchange region 31 and the joint component 32, as shown in Figure 8 In this way, the introduction port 321 of the joint component 32 can be connected to the distribution node 33 through the flow guide flow channel 36, and then introduced into the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 through the first distribution flow channel 34 and the second distribution flow channel 35, respectively.
[0118] In this way, by arranging the distribution node 33 between the heat exchange region 31 and the joint component 32, the distribution node 33 is closer to the joint component 32, so that the dryness change of the heat exchange medium flowing to the distribution node 33 can be reduced, the influence of the dryness of the heat exchange medium on the distribution is reduced, and the uniformity of the distribution is improved.
[0119] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 or and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the number of the first heat exchange flow channel 311 and the second heat exchange flow channel 312 is multiple; the first distribution flow channel 34 includes a first main distribution flow channel 341 and a plurality of first branch distribution flow channels 342, the first main distribution flow channel 341 is connected to the distribution node 33, the plurality of first branch distribution flow channels 342 are sequentially and intermittently connected to the first main distribution flow channel 341, and the plurality of first branch distribution flow channels 342 are respectively connected to the first heat exchange flow channel 311; the second distribution flow channel 35 includes a second main distribution flow channel 351 and a plurality of second branch distribution flow channels 352, the second main distribution flow channel 351 is connected to the distribution node 33, the plurality of second branch distribution flow channels 352 are sequentially and intermittently connected to the second main distribution flow channel 351, and the plurality of second branch distribution flow channels 352 are respectively connected to the second heat exchange flow channel 312.
[0120] The first distribution flow channel 34 includes a first main distribution flow channel 341 and a plurality of first branch distribution flow channels 342; in this way, the distribution node 33 can introduce the heat exchange medium into the first main distribution flow channel 341, and then distribute the heat exchange medium to the plurality of first branch distribution flow channels 342 through the first main distribution flow channel 341, so that the plurality of first branch distribution flow channels 342 can synchronously introduce the heat exchange medium into the corresponding first heat exchange flow channel 311, thereby synchronously introducing the heat exchange medium into the plurality of first heat exchange flow channels 311 to realize heat exchange.
[0121] Optionally, the number of the first branch flow channels 342 can be two, three or any multiple of three; the number of the first heat exchange flow channels 311 can be two, three or any multiple of three. The number of the first branch flow channels 342 and the number of the first heat exchange flow channels 311 can be the same, and the multiple first branch flow channels 342 are respectively connected to the corresponding first heat exchange flow channels 311.
[0122] The second flow distribution channel 35 includes a second main flow distribution channel 351 and multiple second branch flow channels 352. Thus, the flow distribution node 33 can guide the heat exchange medium into the second main flow distribution channel 351, and then the second main flow distribution channel 351 can distribute the heat exchange medium to the multiple second branch flow channels 352, so that the multiple second branch flow channels 352 can guide the heat exchange medium into the corresponding second heat exchange flow channels 312 at the same time, thereby synchronously passing the heat exchange medium into the multiple second heat exchange flow channels 312 to realize heat exchange.
[0123] Optionally, the number of the second branch flow channels 352 can be two, three or any multiple of three; the number of the second heat exchange flow channels 312 can be two, three or any multiple of three. The number of the second branch flow channels 352 and the number of the second heat exchange flow channels 312 can be the same, and the multiple second branch flow channels 352 are respectively connected to the corresponding second heat exchange flow channels 312.
[0124] The multiple first heat exchange flow channels 311 and the multiple second heat exchange flow channels 312 can be symmetrically distributed about the central axis 301; the first main flow distribution channel 341 and the second main flow distribution channel 351 can also be approximately symmetrically distributed about the central axis 301, and at least part of the multiple first branch flow channels 342 and at least part of the multiple second branch flow channels 352 can also be approximately symmetrically distributed about the central axis 301.
[0125] In this way, the flow distribution node 33 can distribute the heat exchange medium to the first main flow distribution channel 341 and the second main flow distribution channel 351, and then the multiple first branch flow channels 342 can distribute the heat exchange medium to the multiple first heat exchange flow channels 311, and the multiple second branch flow channels 352 can distribute the heat exchange medium to the multiple second heat exchange flow channels 312.
[0126] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the multiple first branch flow channels 342 and the multiple second branch flow channels 352 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301.
[0127] Optionally, the portions of the plurality of first branch flow channels 342 and the portions of the plurality of second branch flow channels 352 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301. Illustratively, when the number of the first branch flow channels 342 and the second branch flow channels 352 is three respectively, two of the first branch flow channels 342 and two of the second branch flow channels 352 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301, and the other of the first branch flow channels 342 and the other of the second branch flow channels 352 are asymmetrically arranged.
[0128] Alternatively, the plurality of first branch flow channels 342 and the plurality of second branch flow channels 352 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301. Illustratively, when the number of the first branch flow channels 342 and the second branch flow channels 352 is three respectively, three of the first branch flow channels 342 and three of the second branch flow channels 352 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301.
[0129] In this way, the symmetrically arranged first branch flow channels 342 and second branch flow channels 352 can further improve the uniformity of the distribution of the heat exchange medium.
[0130] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first main flow channel 341 and the second main flow channel 351 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis 301.
[0131] In this way, when the flow channel distributes the heat exchange medium to the first main flow channel 341 and the second main flow channel 351, the symmetrically arranged first main flow channel 341 and second main flow channel 351 can improve the uniformity of the heat exchange medium entering the first main flow channel 341 and the second main flow channel 351, thereby further improving the uniformity of the distribution of the heat exchange medium.
[0132] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the distribution node (in the present embodiment, the distribution node is not visible because it is inside the joint) is arranged inside the joint component 32, the inside of the joint component 32 is further provided with a plurality of distribution ports (not shown in the figure), the guide inlet 321 is communicated with the plurality of distribution ports through the distribution node; the inside of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 is further provided with a first flow guide channel 37, one end of the first flow guide channel 37 is communicated with a corresponding distribution port, the other end of the first flow guide channel 37 is communicated with the first heat exchange channel 311 and the second heat exchange channel 312; and / or, the inside of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 is further provided with a second flow guide channel 38 and a third flow guide channel 39, the second flow guide channel 38 is respectively communicated to the first heat exchange channel 311 and a corresponding distribution port, and the third flow guide channel 39 is respectively communicated to the second heat exchange channel 312 and a corresponding distribution port.

[0134] The inside of the refrigerant heat exchange component 30 can be provided with a first flow guide channel 37. It should be understood that the first flow guide channel 37 refers to a flow channel structure formed inside the refrigerant heat exchange component 30, and the heat exchange medium can flow inside the flow channel structure. The number of the first flow guide channel 37 can be multiple, for example, consistent with the number of flow splitting ports; in this way, the multiple flow splitting ports respectively introduce the heat exchange medium into the corresponding first flow guide channel 37, and then the first flow guide channel 37 synchronously introduces the heat exchange medium into the first heat exchange channel 311 and the second heat exchange channel 312 connected thereto, as shown in Figure 9 .

The number of the second flow guide channel 38 can be one, two or any multiple of more than two; the number of the third flow guide channel 39 can be two, three or any multiple of more than three; wherein the number of the second flow guide channel 38 can be consistent with the number of the third flow guide channel 39. In this way, the opposite ends of the second flow guide channel 38 are respectively connected to the corresponding one flow splitting port and the first heat exchange channel 311, and the opposite ends of the third flow guide channel 39 are respectively connected to the corresponding one flow splitting port and the second heat exchange channel 312.
