[0002] In automotive thermal management systems, the connection scheme between the gas-liquid separator and the thermal management module (brazed assembly) directly affects the system's sealing performance, assembly efficiency, and cost. Currently, the connection between the gas-liquid separator and the thermal management module often employs traditional welding or complex flange structures, which presents the following problems:

[0003] High connection costs: Traditional welding processes require specialized equipment and high-precision operation, leading to increased processing costs;

[0004] Poor sealing performance: Flange structures are prone to sealing failure due to assembly errors or material deformation;

[0005] Low assembly efficiency: The multi-step fastening process prolongs the assembly time, making it difficult to meet the needs of mass production. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model discloses a connection structure between a gas-liquid separator and a thermal management module, comprising a gas-liquid separator body, gas-liquid separator interfaces, and a thermal management module. The gas-liquid separator body is provided with two sets of gas-liquid separator interfaces, and the thermal management module is provided with two sets of sockets. The gas-liquid separator interfaces are adapted to the sockets. A connecting component is also included, with the gas-liquid separator body and the thermal management module connected by the connecting component. In use, the two sets of gas-liquid separator interfaces on the gas-liquid separator body are respectively inserted into the two sets of sockets on the thermal management module. Then, the gas-liquid separator body and the thermal management module are connected by the connecting component, improving the connection sealing and installation efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes an annular groove, a sealing ring, a through hole, a threaded groove, and a bolt. Each set of gas-liquid separator interfaces is provided with an annular groove, and a set of sealing rings is fitted onto each set of annular grooves.
