[0045] See Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a flow path module 1, including a flow path body 10 and a connecting pipe 20. The flow path body 10 is formed by stacking and welding multiple layers of plates. The flow path body 10 includes a flow cavity 101 and an interface 102 communicating with the flow cavity 101. The interface 102 is formed on the outermost plate. At least one of the two opposing surfaces of two adjacent plates has a groove structure 103, which is filled with molten solder. The end of the connecting pipe 20 is connected to the interface 102.
[0046] The flow path module 1 of this application has a groove structure 103 on the opposite surface of adjacent plates, which facilitates welding, improves the fluidity of the solder, enhances the strength of the weld, and prevents leakage or seepage of the flow path body 10.
[0047] The system includes multiple connecting pipes 20, which are used to connect to various components in the compressor, storage tank, outdoor heat exchanger, oil separator, various valves (four-way valve, electronic expansion valve, shut-off valve, etc.), and other piping in the refrigerant flow path. The flow path body 10 consists of a first plate 11, a second plate 12, and a third plate 13. The first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are located on the outermost side of the flow path body 10 and are equipped with multiple adapters 102. The multiple connecting pipes 20 are connected to the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 through these adapters 102. The flow cavity 101 is mainly formed by multiple stacked third plates 13. The first plate 11 and the second plate 12 enclose the flow cavity 101, and the adapters 102 communicate with the flow cavity 101. The shape of the flow cavity 101 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the shape of the flow cavity 101 is approximately cross-shaped. In other embodiments, the shape of the flow cavity 101 can be adjusted and selected according to the position and number of the connecting pipes 20. Fluid can flow in from at least one of the plurality of nozzles 20, pass through the flow cavity 101 of the flow path body 10, and then flow out from the remaining nozzles 20.
[0048] In this embodiment, there are multiple adapters 102, and each adapter 102 has a corresponding connecting pipe 20 welded to it. The multiple adapters 102 are distributed on at least two different surfaces of the flow path body 10. The arrangement of multiple adapters 102 allows the flow path module 1 to be used for the flow of multiple fluids.
[0049] In this embodiment, the outermost surface of the first plate 11 is connected to a connecting pipe 20 via an adapter 102, and the outermost surface of the second plate 12 is connected to multiple connecting pipes 20 via multiple adapters 102. In other embodiments, the outermost surface of the first plate 11 may be connected to multiple connecting pipes 20 via multiple adapters 102, and the outermost surface of the second plate 12 may be connected to a single connecting pipe 20 via an adapter 102. Alternatively, the outermost surface of the first plate 11 may be connected to multiple connecting pipes 20 via multiple adapters 102, and the outermost surface of the second plate 12 may be connected to multiple connecting pipes 20 via multiple adapters 102. The number of connecting pipes 20, the number of adapters 102, and their distribution can all be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0050] In this application, locking structures 100 are provided at each of the four corners of the multilayer sheet, such as bolts or screws. Through holes are provided in the multilayer sheet at corresponding positions of the locking structures to allow the locking structures to pass through. The locking structures 100 can provide pre-tightening force before welding the multilayer sheet to press it together, thereby improving welding efficiency.
[0051] The flow path module 1 of this application is used in air conditioning systems, for example, installed inside the outdoor unit of an air conditioning system. The outdoor unit typically houses components forming the refrigerant circuit, such as a compressor, refrigerant tank, outdoor heat exchanger, oil separator, and various valves, as well as electrical installation units. The flow path module 1 of this application is typically installed horizontally on the indoor unit in a multi-layered sheet metal configuration, with an overall flat structure. This optimizes the piping structure within the indoor unit, improves piping integration, reduces piping space requirements, and decreases the overall size of the outdoor unit.
[0052] In this embodiment, the solder includes solder pads 30, which are disposed between two adjacent plates and avoid the flow cavity 101. The solder pads 30 ensure that when they melt, the solder is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the plates, resulting in a stronger connection and better sealing performance between adjacent plates. After melting, the solder pads 30 allow the solder to flow along the groove structure 103 of the plates, further enhancing the strong sealing performance between the two adjacent plates.
[0053] The solder pads 30 are disposed between multiple third plates 13. Solder pads 30 are also disposed between the first plate 11 and the third plate 13, and between the second plate 12 and the third plate 13.
[0054] In this embodiment, the dimension of the groove structure 103 in the stacking direction of the plates is defined as the depth of the groove structure 103. The maximum value of the depth of the groove structure 103 is 0.01mm-0.1mm, and can be 0.02mm, 0.05mm, 0.08mm, etc. The maximum depth of the groove structure 103 is 0.01mm-0.1mm, which can improve the fluidity of the solder while ensuring sufficient strength of the plate, and the solder can fully fill the groove structure 103 to firmly weld adjacent plates together.
[0055] In this embodiment, the groove structure 103 includes multiple grooves, all of which have the same depth. In other embodiments, the depths of the multiple grooves may also be different.
[0056] In this embodiment, both opposite surfaces of the two adjacent plates have groove structures 103. The presence of groove structures 103 on both opposite surfaces of the adjacent plates further improves solder flowability, enhances the weld strength of the plates, and further strengthens the leak-proof function of the fluid module.
[0057] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the groove structure 103 is connected to the flow cavity 101. The connection between the groove structure 103 and the flow cavity 101 makes the groove structure 103 easier to process and facilitates the discharge of gas generated by the melting of solder during welding, which is beneficial to improving the welding quality between the plates and improving the sealing performance of the flow path body 10.
[0058] In this embodiment, the groove structure 103 is spaced apart from the outer surface 131 of the plate. The groove structure 103 does not extend to the outer surface of the plate, which can prevent solder overflow and improve the welding seal during the plate welding process.
[0059] In this embodiment, multiple grooves are arranged in parallel, meaning the distance between two adjacent grooves remains constant along the groove's extension direction. This simplifies the groove manufacturing process, reduces costs, and ensures the consistency and synchronicity of solder flow after melting, further improving the welding quality and sealing performance between adjacent plates.
