[0038] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present application, technical solutions and beneficial effects clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0039] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present application, technical solutions and beneficial effects clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0040] The heat management system of a new energy vehicle has higher and higher integration, resulting in large part volume and complex surrounding pipeline environment. In the prior art, the heat management system is arranged longitudinally in the front cabin, and a support type support is used to install and fix the heat management system. This fixing mode connects the heat management system to two lower crossbeams of the front cabin by bolts to form a mechanical bearing system from bottom to top. In the vehicle cabin, covering members such as a water channel sheet metal and a wiper cover plate are arranged above the two crossbeams. When the heat management system is installed, the top of the heat management system is blocked by the covering members such as the water channel sheet metal and the wiper cover plate, resulting in insufficient space at the top during installation and difficult installation. In addition, since the top of the heat management system is blocked by the covering members such as the water channel sheet metal and the wiper cover plate, the covering members such as the water channel sheet metal and the wiper cover plate need to be removed during maintenance, resulting in high maintenance cost.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 9 , the embodiment of the present application provides a heat management system installation structure, comprising: an integrated heat management module 10, a first support 20 and a second support 30; the first support 20 and the second support 30 are arranged on the two sides of the integrated heat management module 10 along a first direction X; a first end of the first support 20 is connected with the integrated heat management module 10, and a second end of the first support 20 is adapted to be connected with a mounting beam 41 below a water channel sheet metal 44 along the first direction X; a third end of the second support 30 is connected with the integrated heat management module 10, and a fourth end of the second support 30 is adapted to be connected with a crossbeam 40 of a vehicle body.

[0042] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 1 , the first direction X is the direction in which the first support 20 and the second support 30 are arranged opposite to each other, that is, the length direction of the vehicle.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the first support 20 and the second support 30 are arranged on the two sides of the integrated heat management module 10 along the first direction X; the first end of the first support 20 is connected with the integrated heat management module 10, and the second end of the first support 20 is connected with the mounting beam 41 below the water channel sheet metal 44 along the first direction X; the third end of the second support 30 is connected with the integrated heat management module 10, and the fourth end of the second support 30 is connected with the crossbeam 40 of the vehicle body. In this way, during installation, the first support 20 and the mounting beam 41 below the water channel sheet metal 44 can be installed from the first direction X (i.e. the length direction of the vehicle), that is, the integrated heat management module 10 is installed from the side of the mounting beam 41 below the water channel sheet metal 44, avoiding the influence of the covering members such as the water channel sheet metal 44 above the integrated heat management module 10, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of assembly and solving the problem of difficult assembly.

[0044] Specifically, the gutter plate 44 is arranged above and connected with the mounting beam 41; during installation, the first support 20 and the second support 30 are respectively installed on the integrated thermal management module 10 first, then the integrated thermal management module 10 is installed on the side of the mounting beam 41 through the first support 20, and finally the integrated thermal management module 10 is supported through the second support 30, thereby forming a top-down support path, avoiding the problem of difficult operation at the top due to the blocking of the gutter plate 44 and the wiper cover during installation at the bottom, and improving the convenience of installation.

[0045] In addition, by connecting the second end of the first support 20 with the mounting beam 41 along the first direction X and connecting the fourth end of the second support 30 with the cross beam 40, the double-support design can more evenly disperse the vibration load of the thermal management system and reduce stress concentration at a single connection point, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0046] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 the integrated thermal management module 10 is provided with a first fixing portion 11 on one side along the first direction X and a second fixing portion 12 on the other side along the first direction X; the first end of the first support 20 is connected with the first fixing portion 11, and the second end of the first support 20 extends along a second direction Z away from the first fixing portion 11; the third end of the second support 30 is connected with the second fixing portion 12, and the fourth end of the second support 30 extends along the second direction Z away from the second fixing portion 12, and the extension direction of the second end of the first support 20 is opposite to the extension direction of the fourth end of the second support 30.

[0047] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 1 the second direction Z is the height direction of the vehicle, and the third direction Y is the width direction of the vehicle.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the first fixing portion 11 is arranged on one side of the integrated thermal management module 10 along the first direction X, and the second fixing portion 12 is arranged on the other side; the first end of the first support 20 is connected with the first fixing portion 11, and the second end of the first support 20 extends along the second direction Z away from the first fixing portion 11; the third end of the second support 30 is connected with the second fixing portion 12, and the fourth end of the second support 30 extends along the second direction Z away from the second fixing portion 12, and the extension direction of the second end of the first support 20 is opposite to the extension direction of the fourth end of the second support 30. In this way, by the reverse extension design, the mounting interfaces of the first support 20 and the second support 30 with the vehicle body are distributed in different areas of the vehicle body, i.e., the first support 20 is connected with the mounting beam 41, and the second support 30 is connected with the cross beam 40, thereby adjusting the positions of the fixing points between the supports and the vehicle body, and facilitating installation.

[0049] In addition, when the integrated thermal management module 10 is subjected to external torque (such as torsional vibration under bumpy road conditions), the traditional symmetrical support will cause the same direction deformation to be superimposed due to the equal force arm, which aggravates the system swing. The reverse extension support of the present application forms an asymmetric force arm, which produces a reverse deformation trend under the action of torque, and cancels part of the external torque energy through internal stress, thereby enhancing the torsional stiffness of the system and reducing the loosening of the pipeline joint or the fatigue fracture of the support caused by torsional vibration.

[0050] Specifically, the integrated thermal management module 10 further comprises an integrated thermal management module body 13, the first fixing portion 11 is arranged on one side of the integrated thermal management module body 13 close to the first support 20 along the first direction X, and the second fixing portion 12 is arranged on one side of the integrated thermal management module body 13 close to the second support 30 along the first direction X. The first fixing portion 11 and the second fixing portion 12 are used to connect the integrated thermal management module body 13 and the support, and the integrated thermal management module body 13 is used to actively monitor and adjust the temperature, avoid the performance decline, service life shortening or permanent damage of core components (such as chips, batteries, motors, etc.) caused by high temperature, and adjust the heat dissipation strategy (such as adjusting the fan speed, cooling liquid flow) in real time according to the load change, balance the performance and power consumption, etc.

[0051] Optionally, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 8 , the first end of the first support 20 is provided with a first mounting hole penetrating along the second direction Z, the second direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the first mounting hole is connected with the integrated thermal management module 10; the second end of the first support 20 is provided with a second mounting hole penetrating along the first direction X, and the second mounting hole is adapted to be connected with the mounting beam 41 of the vehicle body.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the first end of the first support 20 is provided with a first mounting hole penetrating along the second direction Z, and the first mounting hole is connected with the integrated thermal management module 10; the second end of the first support 20 is provided with a second mounting hole penetrating along the first direction X, and the second mounting hole is connected with the mounting beam 41 of the vehicle body. In this way, during installation, the installation direction of the installation tool 43 is the same as the axial direction of the first mounting hole, so as to leave an installation space for the installation tool 43 to install the first support 20 and the mounting beam 41. In addition, the vertical displacement of the integrated thermal management module 10 is constrained along the second direction Z through the first mounting hole, and the longitudinal displacement of the mounting beam 41 of the vehicle body is constrained along the first direction X through the second mounting hole, thereby forming a two-way constraint system, so that the integrated thermal management module 10 and the mounting beam 41 of the vehicle body are stably connected.

[0053] In some embodiments, the thermal management system mounting structure further comprises a first fastener, as shown in Figure 7 , the first fastener is connected with the integrated thermal management module 10 through the first mounting hole, and the first fastener is also connected with the mounting beam 41 of the vehicle body through the second mounting hole.

[0054] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , two first mounting holes through in the second direction Z can be arranged at the first end of the first support 20, and two second mounting holes through in the first direction X can be arranged at the second end of the first support 20, so that the connection of the integrated thermal management module 10 and the first support 20 is more stable, and the connection of the first support 20 and the beam 40 of the vehicle body is more stable.

[0055] It should be noted that the first fastener can be a nut, a bolt, or a rivet, a welding nail, etc. For those skilled in the art, the actual needs can be selected, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited here.

[0056] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the third end of the second support 30 is provided with a third mounting hole through in the second direction Z, the second direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the third mounting hole is connected with the integrated thermal management module 10; the fourth end of the second support 30 is provided with a fourth mounting hole through in the second direction Z, and the fourth mounting hole is adapted to be connected with the beam 40 of the vehicle body.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the third end of the second support 30 is provided with a third mounting hole through in the second direction Z, and the third mounting hole is connected with the integrated thermal management module 10; the fourth end of the second support 30 is provided with a fourth mounting hole through in the second direction Z, and the fourth mounting hole is connected with the beam 40 of the vehicle body. In this way, the integrated thermal management module 10 and the beam 40 of the vehicle body can be connected through the third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole in the same direction, which is convenient for installation.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , two third mounting holes through in the second direction Z can be arranged at the third end of the second support 30, and two fourth mounting holes through in the second direction Z can be arranged at the fourth end of the second support 30, so that the connection of the integrated thermal management module 10 and the second support 30 is more stable, and the connection of the second support 30 and the beam 40 of the vehicle body is more stable.

[0059] In some embodiments, the thermal management system mounting structure further comprises a second fastener, the second fastener passes through the third mounting hole and is connected with the integrated thermal management module 10, and the second fastener also passes through the fourth mounting hole and is connected with the beam 40 of the vehicle body.

[0060] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the first support 20 comprises a first mounting portion 21, a second mounting portion 22, and a first body portion 23 connected between the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 22; the first body portion 23 is arranged at one side of the integrated thermal management module 10 along the first direction X, one end of the first mounting portion 21 is connected to the first body portion 23, and the other end of the first mounting portion 21 extends towards the integrated thermal management module 10 along the first direction X and is connected to the integrated thermal management module 10; one end of the second mounting portion 22 is connected to the first body portion 23, and the other end of the second mounting portion 22 extends towards a direction away from the first body portion 23 along the second direction Z, the second direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the other end of the second mounting portion 22 is adapted to be connected to the mounting beam 41 below the gutter panel 44 along the first direction X.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present application, by arranging the first body portion 23 at one side of the integrated thermal management module 10 along the first direction X, connecting one end of the first mounting portion 21 to the first body portion 23, and extending the other end of the first mounting portion 21 towards the integrated thermal management module 10 along the first direction X and connecting it to the integrated thermal management module 10; connecting one end of the second mounting portion 22 to the first body portion 23, and extending the other end of the second mounting portion 22 towards a direction away from the first body portion 23 along the second direction Z, and connecting the other end of the second mounting portion 22 to the mounting beam 41 below the gutter panel 44 along the first direction X. In this way, the connection between the integrated thermal management module 10 and the mounting beam 41 below the gutter panel 44 is realized through the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 22. In addition, by extending the other end of the first mounting portion 21 towards the integrated thermal management module 10 along the first direction X and connecting it to the integrated thermal management module 10, it is beneficial to reduce the occupied space between the first mounting portion 21 and the integrated thermal management module 10.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, by arranging the other end of the second mounting portion 22 to extend towards a direction away from the first body portion 23 along the second direction Z, the second mounting portion 22 can be exposed, and the installation tool 43 can install the second mounting portion 22 and the mounting beam 41 along the first direction X, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, the shape of the first body portion 23 is as close as possible to the contour of the integrated thermal management module 10 to reduce the envelope size and save the occupied space of the first support 20.

[0064] Optionally, as shown in Figure 7 As shown, the first body portion 23 is protrudingly curved towards a direction away from the integrated thermal management module 10 along the first direction X to form a first gap 24 between the first body portion 23 and the integrated thermal management module 10, and the first gap 24 is used for installing the first mounting portion 21 and the integrated thermal management module 10.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the first main body part 23 is bent to protrude in the first direction X away from the integrated thermal management module 10, so as to form a first gap 24 between the first main body part 23 and the integrated thermal management module 10. In this way, the installation tool 43 can extend into the space between the first mounting part 21 and the integrated thermal management module 10 through the first gap 24, so as to connect the first mounting part 21 and the integrated thermal management module 10 through the first fastener.

[0066] Specifically, before the integrated thermal management module 10 and the vehicle body are installed, the first mounting part 21 and the first fixing part 11 of the integrated thermal management module 10 can be connected first, and then the second mounting part 22 and the mounting beam 41 are connected. In this way, the problem of difficult installation of the installation tool 43 due to too small installation space can be avoided.

[0067] It should be noted that the installation tool 43 can be a socket wrench, a spanner, or the like. For those skilled in the art, the installation tool 43 can be selected according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the installation tool 43.
