Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0015] refer to Figures 1 to 6This application provides an integrated component for a vehicle's thermal management system. The integrated component includes a compressor 1, a flow channel assembly 2, and a support frame 3. The compressor 1 is fixedly connected to the flow channel assembly 2, and the flow channel assembly 2 has a refrigerant flow channel that is in fluid communication with the compressor 1. The support frame 3 is used to directly connect to the vehicle's crossbeam. The compressor 1 includes a housing 11 and a receiving cavity 10 for accommodating the working parts of the compressor 1. The wall portion forming the receiving cavity 10 is located in the housing 11. A portion of the housing 11 is integrally formed with the support frame 3. In this embodiment, a portion of the housing 11 and the support frame 3 of the compressor 1 are integrally cast. Compared to mounting the compressor 1 and flow channel assembly 2 separately on the carrier frame 3, and then fixing the carrier frame 3 to the vehicle's crossbeam, this design reduces the connection structure between the carrier frame 3 and the compressor 1 and flow channel assembly 2, correspondingly reducing the number of fasteners. The space occupied by the connection structure and connectors is reduced, as is the installation space required for setting fasteners or welding. The entire integrated component can be designed to be more compact. In addition, the saved connectors simplify the assembly steps of the entire integrated component, and the corresponding cost is also reduced. Furthermore, the carrier frame structure is simpler, uses less material, and does not require redundant design of numerous connection structures with the compressor 1 and flow channel assembly 2, which helps to make the entire integrated component lighter.

[0016] Specifically, to achieve a higher degree of integration and simpler assembly, this embodiment integrates the mounting part 4 for connecting the shock absorber 5 onto the support frame 3. The integrated component includes the shock absorber 5, and the support frame 3 includes the mounting part 4. The shock absorber 5 is fixedly connected or limited to the mounting part 4, and the shock absorber 5 is fixedly connected or limited to the vehicle crossbeam. Fixed connections include welding, bonding, riveting, and fastener connections, while limited connections include snap-fitting and abutmenting. The mounting part 4, the support frame 3, and a portion of the compressor 1 housing are integrally formed. Specifically, the mounting part 4, the support frame 3, and a portion of the compressor 1 housing are integrally molded, including casting. (See reference...) Figure 2 The support frame 3 has several hollow holes 300, which reduces the material used in the support frame 3 and also reduces weight. In other embodiments, it can also be formed by one-piece injection molding of high-strength plastic or by one-piece sheet metal processing.

[0017] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6In this embodiment, the support member 7 used to connect the compressor 1 and the flow channel assembly 2 is also fixedly connected to the housing 11, which can further optimize the installation space. Specifically, the integrated assembly includes the support member 7, which is an integral structure with the housing 11. The support member 7 extends from the housing 11 or the carrier frame 3 to the flow channel assembly 2. In this embodiment, the first support member 71 is connected to the carrier frame 3, and the second support member 72 is connected to the housing 11 of the compressor 1. As long as the connection stability requirements are met, there are no restrictions here. The support member 7 is fixedly connected to the flow channel assembly 2. In this embodiment, part of the housing 11, the support member 7, and the carrier frame 3 are integrally formed. The flow channel assembly 2 has a connection hole 24 corresponding to the support member 7. The extension direction of the support member 7 is towards the connection hole 24. The flow channel assembly 2 and the support member 7 are fastened together through the connection hole 24 and fasteners. In this embodiment, the support member 7 used to connect the flow channel assembly 2 is integrally formed with the compressor housing and the carrier frame 3. On the one hand, there is no need to set redundant connection structures on the flow channel assembly 2, which improves the space utilization of the flow channel assembly 2. On the other hand, the support member 7 connecting the flow channel assembly 2 is distributed on the carrier frame 3 and the compressor housing 11 of the integral structure. Compared with the flow channel assembly 2 being connected to the carrier frame 3 and the compressor housing 11 of the separate structure, the connection is more stable. Compared with the flow channel assembly 2 being completely connected to the carrier frame 3, the carrier frame 3 of this embodiment does not need to be set with redundant connection structures, the structure is simpler, and the materials are lighter.

[0018] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the compressor 1 and the flow channel assembly 2 are directly connected, making the connection between the compressor 1 and the flow channel assembly 2 more compact. Specifically, the housing 11 includes an inlet connection portion 81 and an outlet connection portion 82. The inlet connection portion 81 has an inlet port 810 communicating with the refrigerant flow channel, and the outlet connection portion 82 has an outlet port 820 communicating with the refrigerant flow channel. At least one of the inlet connection portion 81 and the outlet connection portion 82 is fixedly connected or limitedly connected to the flow channel assembly 2. In this embodiment, the flow channel assembly 2 has a connecting block 25 with a first inlet facing the outlet connection portion 82. The connecting block 25 has an extension portion 821 extending radially along the outlet port 82 with a threaded hole. The flow channel assembly 2 has a connecting hole 24 corresponding to the threaded hole. The flow channel assembly 2 and the outlet connection portion 8 are fixedly connected through the connecting hole 24, the threaded hole, and fasteners. The outlet port 820 communicates with the first inlet. High-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 1 through the outlet port 820 and enters the refrigerant flow channel in the flow channel assembly 2 through the first inlet.

[0019] refer to Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment, the housing 11 mainly consists of four parts, including a first end cap 111, a first housing 112, a second housing 113, and a second end cap 114. The first end cap 111, the first housing 112, the second housing 113, and the second end cap 114 are sequentially fixedly connected along the axial direction of the compressor 1. The wall forming the receiving cavity 10 includes the first end cap 111, the first housing 112, the second housing 113, and the second end cap 114. The support frame 3 and the support member 7 are both integrally formed with the first housing 112. Among the four parts of the housing 11, the first housing 112 occupies the largest volume. The support frame 3 and the support member 7 are integrally formed with the first housing 112. The 12-piece integral casting process makes the arrangement of the support frame 3 and the support member 7 more convenient. In addition, the first housing 112 uses the most material compared to the other three parts, and its corresponding structural strength is also better, making it more suitable for supporting and connecting the support frame 3 and the support frame. Furthermore, only one part of the compressor housing 11 is integrally formed with the support frame 3 and the support member 7, and the other housings are not affected. In industrial manufacturing, there are fewer modifications to the production line, which is suitable for production line design updates. Of course, in another embodiment, some of the support frame 3 and some of the support frame can also be arranged in the other three housing parts 11, with the support frame 3 and the support frame being more widely distributed and the connection stability being better.

[0020] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support frame 3 includes multiple components, including a connecting section 32 and an extension section 31. The connecting section 32 connects the extension section 31 to the housing 11. The mounting part 4 is located on the extension section 31. Along the direction of gravity, at least part of the orthographic projection of the mounting part 4 is located on the periphery of the orthographic projection of the compressor housing 11. This distribution of the mounting parts 4 makes the mounting parts 4 distributed at a wider distance on the plane, which makes the connection between the compressor 1 and the vehicle crossbeam more stable.

[0021] Further, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The flow channel assembly 2 is located on one side of the compressor 1. The thickness direction of the flow channel assembly 2 is perpendicular to the direction of gravity and perpendicular to the axial direction of the compressor 1. The support frame 3 includes a first extension section 311, a second extension section 312, and a third extension section 313. The first extension section 311 extends along the axial direction of the compressor 1. The second extension section 312 extends away from the extension direction of the first extension section 311. The third extension section 313 extends in a direction close to the flow channel assembly 2. The extension direction of the first extension section 311 is defined as the first extension line L1, the extension direction of the second extension section 312 is defined as the second extension line L2, and the extension direction of the third extension section 312 is defined as the third extension line L1. The first extension line L1 and the second extension line L2 are parallel or nearly parallel. The third extension line L3 is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the first extension line L1 and the second extension line L2. The third extension line L3 is consistent with the thickness direction of the flow channel assembly 2. This arrangement of the support frame 3 makes the compressor 1 and the flow channel assembly 2 connected to the compressor 1 more stable.

[0022] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to improve the connection strength between the support frame 3 and the shell 11, the support frame 3 includes a first connecting section 321, which connects to the shell 11, connects to a first extension section 311, and connects to a third extension section 313. Along the direction perpendicular to gravity, the cross section of the first connecting section 321 is approximately L-shaped. This configuration requires the first connecting section 321 to have a larger volume and a larger contact surface with the shell 11, which can improve the load-bearing capacity of the support frame 3.

[0023] To further improve the compactness of the entire integrated assembly, the flow channel assembly 2 has a clearance groove 20 that penetrates the flow channel assembly 2. The third extension 313 is at least partially located in the clearance groove 20. Along the thickness direction of the flow channel assembly 2, the third extension 313 is partially located on one side of the flow channel assembly 2 and partially located on the other side of the flow channel assembly 2. The third extension 313 includes a first mounting part 41 that is far away from the compressor 1 relative to the flow channel assembly 2. The clearance groove 20 is provided in the empty space of the flow channel assembly 2. The clearance groove 20 provided by the compressor in the third extension 313 allows the entire flow channel assembly to be lowered. The third extension 313 extends from the housing 11 of the compressor to the clearance groove 20 and passes through the clearance groove 20. The height of the entire integrated assembly is reduced. On the one hand, the arrangement of the support frame 3 and the flow channel assembly 2 is more compact. On the other hand, the center of gravity of the entire integrated assembly is lowered, making the connection to the vehicle more stable.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the flow channel assembly 2 is assembled and welded using a stamped plate. Specifically, the flow channel assembly 2 includes a first plate 21 and a second plate 22, which are fixedly connected. At least one of the first plate 21 and the second plate 22 has a first protrusion 23. The wall of the refrigerant flow channel includes the first protrusion 23, which is stamped. This makes the entire integrated assembly lighter. Furthermore, the flow channel assembly 2 uses a stamped flow channel plate, which is lighter and fixedly connected to the compressor 1, making the entire integrated assembly more stable. It also compensates for the shortcomings of insufficient strength of the stamped flow channel plate, which makes it unsuitable for setting the load-bearing points of the vehicle.

[0025] refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the first plate 21 has a first flange 201 that folds away from the second plate 22, and the second plate 22 has a second flange 202 that flips away from the first plate 21. The integrated assembly has a lifting hole 203, which is located at the first flange 201 and / or the second flange 202. Both the first flange 201 and the second flange 202 are located at the edge of the plate, which helps to improve the strength of the entire stamping flow channel plate and prevent the stamping flow channel plate from undergoing large deformation under vibration conditions. In addition, in this embodiment, the lifting hole 203 is used for the entire integrated assembly to move on the production line to be assembled on the vehicle. The area of ​​the flange located at the top of the flow channel assembly is correspondingly enlarged, and the lifting hole 203 is directly integrated into this flange. There is no need to set up other structures for lifting, which is beneficial to the space optimization of the entire integrated assembly.

[0026] It should be noted that the above description uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
