[0048] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] The thermal management system of new energy vehicles is more complex than that of traditional vehicles, with a wider range of electronic components and a significant increase in coolant-side components, especially in secondary loop cooling systems such as the R290 cooling system. Some coolant-side components take over the functions of the original refrigerant-side thermal management. Using the traditional distributed component layout scheme will lead to problems such as large space occupation, many fixed brackets, many and complex pipelines, and high assembly difficulty, which will bring many challenges to the development of the whole vehicle.

[0050] To address the aforementioned issues, embodiments of this application provide a flow channel plate assembly, a thermal management integration module, a thermal management system, and a vehicle. The vehicle includes a thermal management system, which comprises an air conditioning system, an electric drive system, a power battery system, a heating system, and a thermal management integration module. The thermal management integration module includes components such as a flow channel plate assembly, a pump assembly, and a valve assembly.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the thermal management integrated module also includes components such as a flow channel plate assembly 1, a valve assembly 3, a suspension assembly 2, an integrated domain controller 4, a reservoir cap 5, pump assemblies 6-8, a coolant reservoir 9, a first temperature sensor 10, a second temperature sensor 11, a third temperature sensor 12, and an exhaust port 13. The flow channel plate assembly 1 has multiple flow channels inside, connecting to the various components in the thermal management integrated module, and provides water pipe connections to the vehicle's coolant circulation system.

[0052] Specifically, the flow channel plate assembly 1 includes a body part 101, which has at least one flow channel layer. Each flow channel layer has multiple flow channels. The outer surface of the body part 101 has multiple component interfaces, which may include pipe interfaces, pump interfaces, and valve interfaces. Each interface is connected to a corresponding flow channel. That is, some flow channels are connected to pipe interfaces, some flow channels are connected to pump interfaces, and some flow channels are connected to valve interfaces. Furthermore, some flow channels are connected to only one interface, and some flow channels can be connected to at least two interfaces of the same or different types. The specific configuration can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0053] The main body 101 also includes multiple connecting channels 1011. A portion of these connecting channels 1011 connects between two flow channel layers. Each flow channel layer includes multiple flow channels. Connecting channels 1011 can connect between the flow channels of two adjacent flow channel layers, or between the flow channels of two spaced-apart flow channel layers. Another portion of the connecting channels 1011 connects between the flow channels and the interfaces. The arrangement of the connecting channels 1011 allows for flexible flow channel layout in each flow channel layer and facilitates the placement of interfaces, providing good flexibility and facilitating connection between interfaces and external pipes, valves, pumps, etc.

[0054] The structure of the main body 101 is as follows Figure 4 As shown, there are at least two flow channel layers, specifically as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it includes three flow channel layers: a first flow channel layer 28, a second flow channel layer 29, and a third flow channel layer 30. It can also include two, four, or more flow channel layers. Compared with a solution with only one flow channel layer, a solution with at least two flow channel layers provides better three-dimensional space and more flexible flow channel arrangement. It avoids excessive bends and long flow channel lengths caused by avoidance between flow channels, thereby reducing flow resistance. It can also reduce the area of ​​a single flow channel layer, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the flow channel plate assembly 1.

[0055] Furthermore, by increasing the number of flow channel layers, the number of flow channels can be increased, allowing other components of the thermal management integrated module to be connected to the flow channel plate assembly 1. This results in high integration and eliminates the need for additional fixed supports, pipes, etc., simplifying the overall structure and effectively reducing assembly difficulty, making the overall assembly more orderly.

[0056] For ease of explanation, the following description will take the body 101 as an example, which includes three flow channel layers arranged sequentially: a first flow channel layer 28, a second flow channel layer 29, and a third flow channel layer 30. Figure 11As shown, the first flow channel layer 28 faces the first side 102, the third flow channel layer 30 faces the second side 103, and a pump flow channel layer 39 is also provided on the second side 103, which is provided with the aforementioned pump interface.

[0057] In this embodiment, the flow channel layers are stacked. Of course, there are no restrictions on the arrangement of the flow channel layers in the main body 101. For example, there can be an angle between the two flow channel layers. Stacking the flow channel layers can simplify the overall structure and is beneficial to the internal space arrangement of the main body 101, thereby improving the space utilization of the main body 101.

[0058] The main body 101 specifically includes multiple layers of flow channel plates. At least one of the opposing walls of two adjacent layers of flow channel plates is provided with a flow channel groove. The flow channel plates are stacked in sequence and sealed and fixed by welding or other means to form the aforementioned flow channel between two adjacent layers of flow channel plates.

[0059] In detail, when the main body 101 has three flow channel layers, the number of flow channel plates is four, namely the first flow channel plate, the second flow channel plate, the third flow channel plate and the fourth flow channel plate. The first flow channel layer 28 is formed between the first flow channel plate and the second flow channel plate, the second flow channel layer 29 is formed between the second flow channel plate and the third flow channel plate, the third flow channel layer 30 is formed between the third flow channel plate and the fourth flow channel plate, and a pump flow channel layer 39 is formed on the side of the fourth flow channel plate facing the second side 103. The pump flow channel layer 39 is provided with a pump interface and a part of the pipe interface.

[0060] Taking the first flow channel plate and the second flow channel plate as examples, the first flow channel plate may have a flow channel groove on the side wall facing the second flow channel plate, or the second flow channel plate may have a flow channel groove on the side wall facing the first flow channel plate, or the first flow channel plate and the second flow channel plate may each have a corresponding flow channel groove. After the first flow channel plate and the second flow channel plate are sealed and fixed together, a flow channel can be formed by enclosing the flow channel groove.

[0061] Of course, in this embodiment, the body portion 101 can also be configured as a one-piece structure, and flow channels can be formed by machining holes inside, or the body portion 101 with internal flow channels can be prepared by other methods such as 3D printing. When the body portion 101 is configured as a structure including multi-layer flow channel plates, the molding process of the body portion 101 can be simplified and the processing cost can be reduced.

[0062] This embodiment highly integrates the main coolant-side components of the secondary loop cooling thermal management system, such as pump assemblies 6-8, valve assemblies 3, water tank 9, and integrated domain controller 4, achieving a high degree of integration completeness. Furthermore, the flow channel plate assembly 1 has its own component interface with other components. During installation, the pump assemblies 6-8, valve assemblies 3, water tank 9, and integrated domain controller 4 can be installed onto the flow channel plate assembly 1 to form an integrated mounting assembly. Then, this integrated mounting assembly can be installed onto the vehicle. This operation is convenient and can effectively improve the vehicle manufacturing efficiency.

[0063] The main body 101 includes a first side surface 102 and a second side surface 103, such as Figure 3 As shown, some component interfaces form valve interfaces, each valve interface being located on the first side 102 of the main body 101. The valve assembly 3 is located on the first side 102 of the main body 101. During disassembly and assembly, the valve assembly 3 can be disassembled and assembled only from the first side 102, making the operation convenient, effectively improving disassembly and assembly efficiency, and facilitating later maintenance. The valve assembly 3 can be fixed to the main body 101 with bolts, or the valve housing 33 of the valve assembly 3 can be integrally injection molded with the flow channel plate, eliminating the need for bolt fixing.

[0064] Some component interfaces form pump interfaces, and each pump interface is located on the second side 103 of the main body 101. In other words, all pump interfaces are located on the same side of the main body 101. Therefore, in the installed state, each water pump is located on the second side 103 of the main body 101, which facilitates installation and operation, effectively improves installation efficiency, and also facilitates later maintenance.

[0065] The first side surface 102 and the second side surface 103 are arranged parallel to each flow channel layer, and as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, the first side 102 and the second side 103 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the main body 101. The first side 102 is located on the side closer to the first flow channel layer, and the second side 103 is located on the side closer to the third flow channel layer. The main body 101 is also provided with a peripheral side, which is connected between the first side 102 and the second side 103 and is arranged around the circumference of the first side 102. At least some pipe interfaces are provided on the peripheral side. It is possible that all pipe interfaces are provided on the peripheral side, or that some pipe interfaces are provided on the peripheral side, and some pipe interfaces are provided on the first side 102 and / or the second side 103.

[0066] Some component interfaces form pipe interfaces. The position of each pipe interface is not restricted and can be set according to the actual flow channel layout within the main body 101 and the arrangement of the vehicle's connecting parts. In other words, the placement of each pipe interface is flexible. This design facilitates the length of the flow channel connected to the pipe interface, simplifies the flow channel layout within the main body 101, and thus reduces flow resistance and overall volume. Each pipe interface is equipped with a quick-connect fitting, which allows for easy and efficient connection to external pipelines.

[0067] The three-layer flow channel plate of the thermal management system integrated module described in this application is arranged longitudinally in the vehicle, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the first water pump 6, the second water pump 7, the third water pump 8, and the integrated water valve 13 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the flow channel plate assembly 1. The water jug ​​9 is arranged above the flow channel plate assembly 1, and the integrated domain controller 4 is arranged on the right side of the flow channel plate assembly 1. The first temperature sensor 10, the second temperature sensor 11, and the third temperature sensor 12 are interspersed in the flow channel plate assembly 1, which satisfies the thermal management system architecture while improving its space utilization. The valve housing 33 of the first water pump 6, the second water pump 7, the third water pump 8, and the valve assembly 3 can also be fixed by screwing or by integral injection molding with the main body 101.

[0068] In other words, the flow channel plate assembly 1 provided in this embodiment allows each pipe interface to be connected to external pipeline equipment via quick-connect fittings. It is also installed with fasteners, valve assembly 3, and water pumps, making operation relatively convenient and effectively improving the installation efficiency of the thermal management integrated module.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, the first flow channel plate located on the first side 102 of the main body 101 is also provided with a flow channel hole 104, and the valve interface is formed through the flow channel hole 104. Of course, a pipe interface can also be provided on the first side 102 of the main body 101 to form a valve interface. Forming a valve interface through the flow channel hole 104 can further simplify the overall structure of the flow channel plate assembly 1.

[0070] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the valve assembly 3 includes a valve housing 33 and a valve core 34. The number of valve cores 34 is at least two. The valve housing 33 is provided with at least two mounting cavities for mounting the valve cores 34. The number of valve cores 34 is the same as the number of mounting cavities and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The valve cores 34 are rotatably disposed in the corresponding mounting cavities.

[0071] The valve body 33 includes at least two sets of interface groups, each including at least two valve interfaces. The valve interfaces correspond to the valve interfaces on the flow channel plate and are connected to the corresponding valve interfaces. Each valve interface in the same set of interface groups includes a medium inlet and a medium outlet. The interface groups are corresponding to the mounting cavity. The valve core 34 is provided with a connecting cavity and is installed in the mounting cavity. The outer peripheral wall of the valve core 34 can block the valve interfaces. The valve core 34 rotates in the mounting cavity to connect or disconnect the connecting cavity and the valve interfaces, thereby changing the connection status between the valve interfaces and the corresponding valve interfaces.

[0072] In other words, the valve core 34, the mounting cavity, and the interface group are the same in number and are set in a corresponding manner. One valve core 34 is in one mounting cavity. By rotating, the connection between the connecting cavity and the valve interface is adjusted, which is equivalent to a valve component. This valve assembly 3 is equivalent to integrating multiple valve components into one, which can effectively simplify the overall structure of the valve assembly, reduce the number of parts, and facilitate installation and operation.

[0073] All valve components are integrated into the valve assembly 3, but each valve component is independent of the others. All valve components can be on / off valves with open and closed states, or all valve components can be proportional control valves with open and closed states and the ability to adjust the opening size. Alternatively, some valve components can be on / off valves and some valve components can be proportional control valves. The specific configuration can be set according to the actual situation.

[0074] One side wall of the valve housing 33 forms a communicating wall 331. All interface groups are located on the communicating wall 331 of the valve housing 33. That is, the valve interfaces of all valve components are located on the same side wall of the valve housing 33. During installation, the valve interfaces communicating with the valve interfaces are all located on one side of the communicating wall 331, which facilitates installation. Furthermore, placing all interface groups on the same side of the valve housing 33 facilitates the installation of the valve assembly 3 and reduces the probability of misinstallation, thereby effectively improving installation efficiency. Specifically, the valve housing 33 may be provided with mounting holes and fixed to the flow channel plate assembly 1 by mounting bolts passing through the mounting holes.

[0075] like Figure 6As shown, the connecting wall portion 331 is also provided with connecting holes 332, through which the interfaces of the aforementioned valve parts are formed. Of course, the connecting wall portion 331 can also form the interfaces of the aforementioned valve parts by setting protruding joints, etc. Forming the interfaces of the valve parts through connecting holes 332 can simplify the overall structure and molding process of the valve body 331. The arrangement of each flow channel hole 104 of the flow channel plate assembly 1 corresponds to the arrangement of each valve part interface. During installation, the first flow channel plate of the flow channel plate assembly 1 with valve interfaces is directly attached to and sealed to the connecting wall portion 331 of the valve assembly 3, so that the aforementioned valve interfaces can be connected to the corresponding connecting holes 332, thereby completing the installation of each valve component. This simplifies the structural setting and molding process of the valve interfaces and connecting holes 332, and facilitates the overall installation operation of the valve assembly 3. There is no need to set up additional pipelines or other connections, which simplifies the overall structure, ensures installation stability, and reduces subsequent maintenance operations.

[0076] The connecting wall portion 331 is also provided with sealing elements arranged circumferentially along each connecting hole 332. In the installed state, the connecting wall portion 331 fits against the first flow channel plate and clamps the sealing elements to ensure that a seal is formed between each valve interface and the corresponding flow channel to avoid leakage.

[0077] In this embodiment, a first sealing gasket 37 is also sandwiched between the flow channel plate assembly 1 and the valve assembly 3, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first sealing gasket 37 has multiple first through holes 371, each corresponding to a valve interface. In other words, the first sealing gasket 37 has a corresponding first through hole 371 at each valve interface, forming the aforementioned sealing elements. Essentially, all sealing elements are integrated into a single first sealing gasket 37. Specifically, the first sealing gasket 37 can be fixed during installation by clamping between the valve assembly 3 and the flow channel plate assembly 2, or by integral injection molding of the valve housing 33 and the flow channel plate. Alternatively, the first sealing gasket 37 can be fixed to the connecting wall 331 or the first flow channel plate using adhesive or other methods for easy installation; no specific limitations are specified here.

[0078] Of course, in this embodiment, each connecting hole 332 may be provided with a sealing element along the circumference, each sealing element is independent of each other, and the connecting wall 331 is also provided with a sealing groove for installing the sealing element in the circumference of each valve interface to ensure the installation stability of the sealing element. All the sealing elements are formed by a first sealing gasket 37, which can simplify the overall structure and facilitate installation and operation, and effectively improve the installation efficiency.

[0079] like Figure 7As shown, each mounting cavity is also provided with a second sealing gasket 38, which is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cavity, specifically to the inner wall of the connecting wall 331. The second sealing gasket 38 is provided with multiple second through holes 381, each of which is respectively provided with a corresponding valve interface. The second sealing gasket 38 is located between the outer wall of the valve core 34 and the cavity wall of the mounting cavity. During the rotation of the valve core 34, the second sealing gasket 38 can be clamped to prevent the medium in the flow channel from entering the mounting cavity. Only after the valve core 34 rotates to the preset position and the connecting cavity and the corresponding valve interface are connected can the medium flow through the connecting cavity. The second sealing gasket 38 can ensure the sealing between the valve core 34 and the valve interface.

[0080] Of course, in this embodiment, independent sealing elements can also be provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity along the circumference of each valve interface to ensure sealing. The provision of the second sealing gasket 38 simplifies the overall structure, facilitates installation, and effectively improves installation efficiency. Figure 7 As shown, the second sealing gasket 38 is rolled into an arc shape, and its shape is adapted to the structure of the outer wall surface of the valve core 34 and the inner wall surface of the mounting cavity. One side of the second sealing gasket 38 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the connecting wall, and the other side of the second sealing gasket 38 is in contact with the outer wall surface of the valve core 24. This arrangement can ensure the stability of the valve core 34 during rotation and avoid shaking during rotation due to partial contact between the valve core 34 and the second sealing gasket 38.

[0081] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown in the figure, the valve assembly 3 also includes an actuator 32, which has at least two actuation units. Each actuation unit is respectively configured to correspond one-to-one with each valve core 34. The actuation unit is used to drive the corresponding valve core 34 to rotate, so as to adjust the state of each valve component. The control unit can be integrated or independent. In this embodiment, an integrated control scheme is adopted. The actuator 32 can be fixed to the valve housing 33 by fasteners 31, and each actuation unit can be integrated into one actuator housing, resulting in a simple overall structure.

[0082] The valve core 34 has a rotating shaft at its end, which extends out of the valve housing 33 and is used to connect to an actuator unit. This actuator unit can be a motor, which drives the valve core 34 to rotate via a transmission connection with the rotating shaft. The actuator 32 can be equipped with control units that are signal-connected to each actuator unit. The control units can drive the corresponding valve core 34 to rotate at an appropriate angle via the actuator units to adjust the state of each valve component. Specifically, how the control unit of the actuator 32 controls the rotation of the valve core 34 via the actuator units is well-known prior art to those skilled in the art and will not be described further here for the sake of brevity.

[0083] The valve housing 33 is also provided with a mounting groove. The valve assembly 3 also includes a sealing seat 36, which can be fixed to the valve housing 33 and seal each mounting groove to enclose and form the aforementioned mounting cavities. During installation, the valve core 34 is first installed in the mounting groove, so that the rotating shaft of the valve core 34 extends out of the valve housing 33 and connects to the actuator. Then, the sealing seat 36 seals the mounting groove to provide protection for the valve core 34 located in the mounting cavity. A sealing ring 35 can also be sandwiched between the sealing seat 36 and the valve housing 33. The sealing ring 35 is arranged along the circumference of the mounting groove to ensure the sealing of each mounting cavity. Of course, in this embodiment, each mounting groove can also be provided with a corresponding sealing seat 36. When each mounting groove is sealed by a sealing seat 36 to form each mounting cavity, the overall structure and installation operation can be simplified.

[0084] The interface group includes at least two valve interfaces, some of which form a medium inlet and some of which form a medium outlet. The valve interfaces are spaced apart along the axial direction of the valve core 34. Specifically, the number of valve interfaces in the same interface group can be three, and the corresponding valve is a three-way valve. The valve interface in the middle position can be either a medium outlet or a medium outlet, and the two valve interfaces on both sides can be either medium outlets or medium outlets. Alternatively, the number of valve interfaces in the same interface group can be two, with one valve interface being a medium outlet and the other being a medium outlet. The corresponding valve is a two-way valve.

[0085] Of course, in this embodiment, there are no restrictions on the arrangement of the valve interfaces of the interface group. For example, they can be arranged in a spiral along the outer wall of the valve core 34. Arranging the valve interfaces of the same interface group at intervals along the axial direction of the valve core 34 can simplify the structure of the valve shell 33. The number of valve interfaces and the structure of the connecting cavity can be set according to actual needs. Furthermore, the number of valve interfaces in each interface group can be the same or different, resulting in a simple structure and good flexibility.

[0086] Of course, there can be more valve ports in the same interface group to form a corresponding multi-way valve. This setting simplifies the structure of the valve. The number of valve ports and the structure of the connecting cavity can be set according to actual needs. Furthermore, the number of valve ports in each interface group can be the same or different, resulting in a simple structure and good flexibility.

[0087] The interface group includes three valve interfaces arranged sequentially at intervals along the axial direction of the valve core 34. The three valve interfaces are respectively arranged to correspond to the corresponding valve interfaces. In each interface group, the valve interface in the middle is the medium inlet and the two valve interfaces at both ends are the medium outlets, or the valve interface in the middle is the medium outlet and the two valve interfaces at both ends are the medium inlet.

[0088] The valve assembly 3 integrates three six-way valves and uses a common set of actuator 32, valve body 33, sealing seat 36 and first sealing gasket 37. The actuator 32 controls the rotation of each valve core 34, which can realize the free switching of the thermal management system mode, save product and process installation costs, and improve the overall vehicle space utilization.

[0089] The valve components in valve assembly 3 are independent of each other. All valve components can be on / off valves with open and closed states, or all valve components can be proportional control valves with open and closed states and the ability to adjust the opening degree. Alternatively, some valve components can be on / off valves and some valve components can be proportional control valves. The specific configuration can be set according to the actual situation.

[0090] In this embodiment, preferably at least a portion of the valve core 34 is configured as an adjusting valve core with proportional adjustment function, such as... Figure 7 As shown, both the first valve core 341 and the second valve core 342 are regulating valve cores, while the third valve core 343 is set as an on / off valve core and does not have proportional regulation function.

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown, the first flow channel plate located on the first side 102 is provided with 18 valve ports, namely 1b, 1a, 1c, 3c, 3a, 3b, 5b, 5a, 5c, 4c, 4a, 4b, 6b, 6a, 6c, 7c, 7a, and 7b. Among them, 1b, 1a, and 1c are arranged sequentially and should be connected to a set of interfaces of valve assembly 3. Valve ports 3c, 3a, and 3b are arranged sequentially and are connected to a set of interfaces of valve assembly 3. Valve ports 5b, 5a, and 5c are arranged sequentially and are connected to a set of interfaces of valve assembly 3. Valve ports 4c, 4a, and 4b are arranged sequentially and are connected to a set of interfaces of valve assembly 3. Valve ports 6b, 6a, and 6c are arranged sequentially and are connected to a set of interfaces of valve assembly 3. Valve ports 7c, 7a, and 7b are arranged sequentially and are connected to a set of interfaces of valve assembly 3.

[0092] Valve assembly 3 includes three valve components, each a six-way valve. Two of these are regulating valves with proportional control function, and one is an on / off valve without proportional control function. Each valve component has two sets of interface groups. Specifically, the valve component corresponding to the first valve core 341 is the first valve component 201, the valve component corresponding to the second valve core 342 is the second valve component 202, and the valve component corresponding to the third valve core 343 is the third valve component 203. The first valve component 201 and the second valve component 202 are regulating valves, and the third valve component 203 is an on / off valve. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 15As shown, the valve interfaces of the two interface groups of the third valve 203 are respectively connected to valve interfaces 1b, 1a, 1c, 3c, 3a, and 3b. The valve interfaces of the two interface groups of the valve 202 are respectively connected to valve interfaces 5b, 5a, 5c, 4c, 4a, and 4b. The valve interfaces of the two interface groups of the valve 341 are respectively connected to valve interfaces 6b, 6a, 6c, 7c, 7a, and 7b.

[0093] At least a portion of the communicating cavity of the regulating valve core forms a regulating cavity 344. The regulating cavity 344 includes three regions arranged sequentially along the circumference: a first region 3441, a second region 3442, and a third region 3443. Each set of interfaces includes three valve interfaces arranged sequentially and at intervals along the axial direction of the valve core 34: a first valve interface, a second valve interface, and a third valve interface. The first region 3441 is used to communicate with the first valve interface and the second valve interface, the third region 3443 is used to communicate with the second valve interface and the third valve interface, and the second region 3442 is used to communicate with the first valve interface, the second valve interface, and the third valve interface. The height of the regulating cavity is consistent throughout the circumference. The first region 3441 and the third region 3443 are partially offset in the axial direction of the regulating valve core. The overlapping part of the first region 3441 and the third region 3443 in the axial direction corresponds to the axial position of the second valve interface in the regulating valve core. Along the axial direction of the regulating valve core, the first region 3441 extends toward the first valve interface, and the third region 3443 extends toward the third valve interface.

[0094] Taking the second valve 202 as an example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first region 3441 is used to communicate with the first and second valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 4a and 4b, the third region 3443 is used to communicate with the second and third valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 4a and 4c, and the second region 3442 is used to communicate with the first, second, and third valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 4a, 4b, and 4c. The second region 3442 is located between the first region 3441 and the third region 3443, and can communicate with the three valve interfaces of the interface group at the same time. By rotating the valve core 34, the communication between the second region 3442 and each valve interface can be changed, thereby changing the communication between the second region 3442 and the two valve interfaces located at both ends (i.e., the two valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 4c and 4b), thus realizing the flow regulation function.

[0095] Each valve interface is sequentially spaced along the axial direction of the valve core 34. Therefore, the first region 3441 is located on the side facing the valve interface corresponding to valve interface 4b, and the third region 3443 is located on the side facing the valve interface corresponding to valve interface 4c. The regulating chamber 344 is at a consistent height along the circumferential direction of the regulating valve core. The first region 3441 and the third region 3443 are at the same height and can only communicate with two of the valve interfaces. The axial positions of the first region 3441 and the third region 3443 are different. The second region 3442 extends both circumferentially and axially along the regulating valve core, unfolding on the outer circumferential wall of the regulating valve core. Figure 8 In this design, the second region 3442 is inclined. By adjusting the rotation of the valve core, the position in which the second region 3442 connects with the interface group can be changed. In different positions, the connection area between the second region 3442 and the two valve interfaces located at both ends is different, thereby achieving flow regulation. By adjusting the setting of the regulating chamber 344 of the regulating valve core, a proportional regulating valve can be formed, which has a simple structure and a wide range of applications.

[0096] like Figure 8 As shown, the two communicating chambers of the regulating valve core also form a first chamber 345 and a second chamber 346, respectively. The first chamber 345 is used to communicate with the valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 5a and 5b, and the second chamber 346 is used to communicate with the valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 5a and 5c. Specifically, along the circumferential direction of the regulating valve core, one regulating chamber 344, the first chamber 345, the other regulating chamber 344, and the second chamber 346 are arranged sequentially at intervals. The two regulating chambers 344 have the same structure, while the first chamber 345 and the second chamber 346 are located at different axial positions on the regulating valve core.

[0097] In the two sets of interface groups corresponding to the regulating valve core, one set of interface groups is provided with the aforementioned first valve section interface, second valve section interface, and third valve section interface, while the other set of interface groups is provided with a fourth valve section interface, a fifth valve section interface, and a sixth valve section interface. The first cavity 345 is used to communicate with the fourth and fifth valve section interfaces, and the second cavity 346 is used to communicate with the fifth and sixth valve section interfaces. The first cavity 345 and the first region 3441 are located in the same axial direction as the regulating valve core, and the second cavity 346 and the third region 3443 are located in the same axial direction as the regulating valve core. This arrangement facilitates the placement of each valve section interface.

[0098] In the two sets of interface groups corresponding to the on / off valve core, one set of interface groups is provided with a first valve section interface, a second valve section interface and a third valve section interface, and the other set of interface groups is provided with a fourth valve section interface, a fifth valve section interface and a sixth valve section interface. The third cavity is used to communicate with the first valve section interface and the second valve section interface, and the third cavity is also used to communicate with the fourth valve section interface and the fifth valve section interface; the fourth cavity is used to communicate with the second valve section interface and the third valve section interface, and the fourth cavity is also used to communicate with the fifth valve section interface and the sixth valve section interface.

[0099] The third valve core 343 is an on / off valve core and does not have flow regulation function. The circumferential structure of the third valve core 343 is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, it includes two third cavities 347 and two fourth cavities 348 arranged sequentially along the circumference. The third cavity 347 is used to communicate with the valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 1b and 1a, and is also used to communicate with the valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 3c and 3a. The fourth cavity 348 is used to communicate with the valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 1a and 1c, and is also used to communicate with the valve interfaces corresponding to valve interfaces 3a and 3b.

[0100] The two third chambers 347 are axially aligned with the on / off valve core, and the two fourth chambers 348 are axially aligned with the second valve core 3. The third chambers 347 and 348 are partially offset in the axial direction of the on / off valve core. The overlapping portions of the third chambers 347 and 348 in the axial direction of the on / off valve core correspond to valve interfaces 1a and 3a. Along the axial direction of the second valve core 3, the third chamber 347 extends towards valve interfaces 1b and 3c, and the fourth chamber 348 extends towards valve interfaces 1c and 3b. This arrangement simplifies and streamlines the overall structure.

[0101] like Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, two valve cores 34 are regulating valve cores, and one valve core 34 is an on / off valve core. Of course, all valve cores 34 can also be regulating valve cores or on / off valve cores; the specific configuration can be determined according to actual adjustment requirements. Regulating valve cores have an adjustment function, while on / off valve cores, although lacking adjustment functionality, have a more compact overall structure and can have a smaller diameter, effectively reducing the overall volume. Therefore, by configuring some valve cores 34 as regulating valve cores to ensure flow regulation requirements and configuring others as on / off valve cores, the overall volume can be effectively reduced, facilitating miniaturization.

[0102] In addition, in this embodiment, the valve assembly 3 can be configured to include multiple three-way valves, and each valve can be configured as a six-way valve, which can further make the overall structure more compact, effectively reduce the overall volume, and facilitate miniaturization.

[0103] The valve assembly 3 highly integrates all the water valves required by the system. The three valve cores 34 share a set of integrated actuator 32, valve housing 33, valve base 36 and end face gasket 37, which saves product and process installation costs and improves the overall space utilization of the vehicle.

[0104] The main body has at least three flow channel layers, which can integrate more flow channels and corresponding interfaces. Specifically, the number and location of flow channels in each flow channel layer can be set according to the actual situation.

[0105] like Figure 10 As shown, the first flow channel layer 28, the second flow channel layer 29, the third flow channel layer 30, and the pump flow channel layer 39 are stacked sequentially, for reference. Figures 11-14 The structure of each flow channel layer and the pump flow channel layer 39 is described in detail.

[0106] like Figure 11 As shown, the first flow channel layer 28 includes five flow channels 1#, 2#, 3#, 4# and 5#, and four pipe interfaces 14, 15, 16 and 21. The first flow channel plate is equipped with 18 valve interfaces.

[0107] like Figure 12 As shown, the second flow channel layer 29 includes three flow channels 6#, 7# and 8#, and also includes three pipe interfaces 17, 20 and 23.

[0108] like Figure 13 As shown, the third flow channel layer 30 includes three flow channels 9#, 10#, and 11#, as well as four pipe interfaces 19, 22, 23, and 26.

[0109] The pump assembly includes three pumps: a first pump 6, a second pump 7, and a third pump 8. The first pump 6 is used in the battery circuit, the second pump 7 is used in the electric drive circuit, and the third pump 8 is used in the heating circuit. In the installed state, each pump is arranged below the flow channel plate assembly 1 to ensure that there is coolant at the pump inlet and to avoid dry running that could cause functional failure.

[0110] The fourth flow channel plate is located on the second side of the main body, such as Figure 14 As shown, the fourth flow channel plate is equipped with pump interfaces 18, 24, 27, 40, 41, and 42. Pump interface 42 is connected to the inlet of the first water pump 6, pump interface 18 is connected to the outlet of the first water pump 6, pump interface 40 is connected to the inlet of the second water pump 7, pump interface 27 is connected to the outlet of the second water pump 7, pump interface 41 is connected to the inlet of the third water pump 8, and pump interface 24 is connected to the outlet of the third water pump 8. The fourth flow channel plate also has three pipe interfaces: 22, 25, and 26.

[0111] In the first flow channel layer 28, valve interface 1b is connected to pipe interface 14, valve interface 1c is connected to pipe interfaces 15 and 16, valve interface 3a is connected to flow channel 5#, and flow channel 5# is also connected to pipe interface 17 of the second flow channel 29 through a connecting flow channel 1011. Flow channel 2# is connected to flow channel 3#, valve interfaces 3b and 7b and pipe interface 21 respectively. Flow channel 3# is connected to pump interface 40 through a connecting flow channel 1011. The water tank 9 replenishment port is connected through flow channel 3#. The water tank 9 can supply water to the second water pump 7 through flow channel 3# and pump interface 40 to provide favorable replenishment conditions for the second water pump 7. Valve interface 4c is connected to pipe interface 22 through flow channel 1#. Pipe interface 23 is connected to valve interface 6a through flow channel 4#.

[0112] In the second flow channel layer 29 and the third flow channel layer 30, flow channel 6# is connected to valve interfaces 1a, 5b, and 4b respectively; pipe interface 20 is connected to valve interface 5c; flow channel 8# is connected to valve interfaces 6c, 7c and pump interface 42 respectively; flow channel 8# is also connected to flow channel 9# in the third flow channel layer 29 through a connecting flow channel 1011; flow channel 9# is also connected to valve interface 5a and pipe interface 25; pipe interface 26 is connected to valve interface 4a; valve interface 3c is connected to pump interface 41 through flow channel 7#; at the same time, valve interface 3c is also connected to pipe interface 19 through flow channel 11#; valve interface 7a is also connected to flow channel 11#; flow channel 7# and flow channel 10# are connected through a connecting flow channel 1011; valve interface 6b is connected to 10#; therefore, valve interface 3c is connected through flow channels 7#, 10# and valve interface 6b.

[0113] Because of the multiple flow channel layers, the structure of the flow channels in each layer is relatively simple, reducing the bending and length of the flow channels, facilitating the arrangement of each flow channel, reducing the processing difficulty of a single flow channel layer, and effectively reducing the flow resistance in the flow channels, reducing the driving force requirements of each water pump, resulting in good economic efficiency.

[0114] Specifically, in the vehicle's thermal management system, the connections of each pipe interface are as follows: Pipe interfaces 14 and 15 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the LTR, respectively; pipe interfaces 16 and 17 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the electric drive, respectively; pipe interfaces 18 and 19 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the battery, respectively; pipe interfaces 20 and 21 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the cold core, respectively; pipe interfaces 22 and 23 are connected to the inlet of the WPTC and the outlet of the warm core, respectively; pipe interfaces 24 and 26 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the WCC, respectively; and pipe interfaces 27 and 25 are connected to the inlet and outlet of the Chiller, respectively.

[0115] During installation, the flow channel plate assembly 1 serves as the main body of the thermal management integrated module, and together with the mounting assembly 2, the thermal management integrated module is installed to the vehicle. In this embodiment, there are a total of four mounting assemblies 2 for the thermal management integrated module, which are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the reservoir 9. The reservoir 9 and the flow channel plate assembly 1 are connected together by integral injection molding and welding, and are fixed to the vehicle bracket by bolts.

[0116] The thermal management integrated module provided in this embodiment includes an integrated domain controller 4. It separates the control circuits, chips, and software of the first water pump 6, second water pump 7, third water pump 8, and valve assembly 3. It collects signals from three coolant-side temperature sensors (first temperature sensor 10, second temperature sensor 11, and third temperature sensor 12) and performs unified control and management, reducing the number of chips and the dispersion of circuits. It also features OTA (Over-The-Air) functionality, enabling rapid software iteration and upgrades, greatly improving the control coordination and convenience of the thermal management system. Specifically, how the integrated domain controller 4 implements the above control is well-known prior art and will not be elaborated upon here for the sake of brevity.

[0117] The thermal management system provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 15 As shown, the three six-way valves in this thermal management system are integrated into the valve assembly 3. The flow channels connecting the various components are integrated into the flow channel plate assembly. The integrated domain controller 4 controls the different modes of the valve assembly 2 and the coordination between the opening and closing of different water pumps (first water pump 6, second water pump 7, and third water pump 8), thereby achieving the integration of... Figure 16-18 It can freely switch between 22 modes covering all four seasons, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, and is suitable for a wide range of applications such as heating, cooling / heating / dehumidification in all four seasons. It features multiple switching modes and low energy consumption.

[0118] When summer temperatures are high, the thermal management system cools the passenger cabin and battery. At this time, the thermal management system operates in a dual-cooling mode for both the battery and passenger cabin. The specific connection status is as follows: Figure 16 As shown, by controlling the operation of the second water pump 7, part of the low-temperature coolant that has passed through the chiller is transported to the cold core through the second valve 202 to cool the passenger compartment, and part of it is transported to the battery through the first valve 201 to cool the battery. At the same time, the operation of the first water pump 6 can realize the self-circulation of the battery circuit and accelerate the battery temperature equalization. In addition, the heat of the electric drive is transported to the LTR through the third valve 203, along with the heat in the WCC, under the operation of the third water pump 8, and then dissipated into the air.

[0119] When winter temperatures are low, the thermal management system heats the passenger cabin and battery. At this time, the thermal management system operates in a dual heating mode for both the battery and passenger cabin. The specific connection status is as follows: Figure 17As shown, by controlling the operation of the second water pump 7 and cooperating with the second valve 202 and the third valve 203, the heat in the air, along with the waste heat in the electric drive, is transferred to the Chiller via the LTR. In addition, the operation of the third water pump 8 is controlled to heat the passenger cabin with the high-temperature coolant of the WCC through the heating core, and a portion of it is proportionally transported to the battery through the first valve 201 to heat the battery. At the same time, the operation of the first water pump 6 can realize the self-circulation of the battery circuit and accelerate the temperature equalization of the battery.

[0120] When the humidity in the passenger cabin is high, such as during spring and autumn, the thermal management system dehumidifies the passenger cabin. At this time, the thermal management system is in passenger cabin dehumidification mode, and the specific connection status is as follows: Figure 18 As shown, by controlling the operation of the second water pump 7 and coordinating with the second valve 202 and the third valve 203, a portion of the chiller's low-temperature coolant is used to cool the electric drive, and another portion is used to cool the cold core to remove humid air from the passenger compartment. Additionally, controlling the operation of the third water pump 8 allows the high-temperature coolant from the WCC to pass through the warm core, reheating the dry air passing through the cold core, and finally releasing the dry air at a comfortable temperature into the passenger compartment. Simultaneously, the operation of the first water pump 6 enables self-circulation of the battery circuit, accelerating battery temperature equalization.

[0121] according to Figure 15 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the thermal management system, which can switch between 22 modes. Figures 16-18 Only three modes are shown. By changing the operation of the first valve 201, the second valve 202, and the third valve 203, as well as the first water pump 6, the second water pump 7, and the third water pump 8, different modes can be switched. To save space, the other 19 modes will not be described in detail here.

[0122] The integrated electronic control system of this thermal management system can collect signals from three water pumps, three valves, and three temperature sensors, and integrate them into a single thermal management controller. This controller communicates with the vehicle via a CAN bus to control and diagnose the various controlled components. It also features OTA (Over-The-Air) functionality for rapid software upgrades. The electronic component control unit of the thermal management integration module can also be integrated into this controller.
