To improve the efficiency of automotive air conditioning, coaxial tubing has been adopted within the system to facilitate heat exchange between high and low temperature refrigerants. However, the arrangement of coaxial tubing occupies significant space within the air conditioning system, leading to a complex piping design. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an automotive liquid storage and drying tank and the vehicle thereof, which can not only reduce the space occupied and simplify the pipeline design, but also improve the air conditioning performance and reduce energy consumption.

[0004] The first aspect of this application discloses an automotive liquid storage and drying tank, comprising: an outer tank and an inner tank, the outer tank having a first liquid inlet; the inner tank being located inside the outer tank and connected to the outer tank, the inner tank having a liquid storage cavity, and the inner tank also having a second liquid inlet and a second liquid outlet spaced apart from each other, the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet both communicating with the liquid storage cavity; a heat exchange cavity being provided between the inner tank and the outer tank, the heat exchange cavity being independent of the liquid storage cavity, and the first liquid inlet communicating with the heat exchange cavity.

[0005] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the inner tank includes a first inner tank surface and a second inner tank surface disposed opposite to each other, and the second liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet are both located on the first inner tank surface; the automotive liquid storage and drying tank also includes a liquid inlet conduit, one end of which is connected to the second liquid inlet, and the other end of which is located inside the liquid storage cavity.

[0006] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit extends toward the second inner tank surface, and the distance between the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit and the second inner tank surface is less than one-quarter of the distance between the first inner tank surface and the second inner tank surface.

[0007] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the automotive liquid storage and drying tank further includes a spray valve, which is connected to the end of the liquid inlet conduit away from the second liquid inlet and is spaced apart from the second inner tank surface. The spray valve is used to uniformly spray refrigerant onto the second inner tank surface.

[0008] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the outer tank is provided with a first liquid outlet communicating with the heat exchange chamber, and the first liquid outlet and the first liquid inlet are spaced apart from each other.

[0009] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the outer tank includes a first outer tank surface, a second outer tank surface, and an outer tank side surface. The first outer tank surface and the second outer tank surface are disposed opposite to each other, and the outer tank side surface is connected between the first outer tank surface and the second outer tank surface. The first liquid inlet is located on the first outer tank surface, the first liquid outlet is located on the outer tank side surface, and the distance between the first liquid outlet and the second outer tank surface is less than one-fifth of the distance between the first outer tank surface and the second outer tank surface.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the second inner tank surface is located between the first outer tank surface and the second outer tank surface, and the first inner tank surface is located on the side of the second outer tank surface away from the first outer tank surface.

[0011] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the automotive liquid storage drying tank further includes heat exchange fins located within the heat exchange chamber, the heat exchange fins surrounding the inner tank and connected to the inner tank.

[0014] The proposed solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this embodiment, when the high-temperature refrigerant enters the storage chamber through the second inlet for storage, since the outer tank has a first inlet and a heat exchange chamber is provided between the inner and outer tanks, the low-temperature refrigerant can enter the heat exchange chamber through the first inlet and exchange heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the storage chamber, thus achieving the function of a coaxial tube. Therefore, the automotive liquid receiver-drier can replace the coaxial tube to reduce space occupation and simplify pipeline design. Furthermore, the high-temperature refrigerant in the storage chamber and the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber exchange heat through the inner tank, resulting in a larger heat exchange area, which is beneficial for improving air conditioning performance and reducing energy consumption.

However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0028] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides an automotive liquid storage and drying tank, including: an outer tank 1, the outer tank 1 having a first liquid inlet 101; an inner tank 2, the inner tank 2 being located inside the outer tank 1 and connected to the outer tank 1, the inner tank 2 having a liquid storage chamber 201, and the inner tank 2 also having a second liquid inlet 202 and a second liquid outlet 203 spaced apart from each other, the second liquid inlet 202 and the second liquid outlet 203 both communicating with the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0030] In this embodiment, the liquid storage chamber 201 is used to store refrigerant. The condensed high-temperature refrigerant enters the liquid storage chamber 201 through the second liquid inlet 202, and then flows out of the liquid storage chamber 201 through the second liquid outlet 203 to the pipeline where evaporation is required.

[0031] Furthermore, a heat exchange chamber 103 is provided between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 1. The heat exchange chamber 103 and the liquid storage chamber 201 are independent of each other, and the first liquid inlet 101 is connected to the heat exchange chamber 103.

[0032] It should be understood that the heat exchange chamber 103 and the liquid storage chamber 201 are independent of each other, meaning that the heat exchange chamber 103 and the liquid storage chamber 201 are not connected to each other.

[0033] In this embodiment, the evaporated low-temperature refrigerant enters the heat exchange chamber 103 through the first liquid inlet 101 and exchanges heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the high-temperature refrigerant enters the storage chamber 201 through the second inlet 202 for storage, since the outer tank 1 is provided with a first inlet 101 and a heat exchange chamber 103 is provided between the inner tank 2 and the outer tank 1, the low-temperature refrigerant can enter the heat exchange chamber 103 through the first inlet 101 and exchange heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the storage chamber 201 to achieve the function of a coaxial tube. Therefore, the automotive liquid receiver-drier can replace the coaxial tube to reduce space occupation and simplify pipeline design. In addition, the high-temperature refrigerant in the storage chamber 201 and the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber 103 exchange heat through the inner tank 2, resulting in a larger heat exchange area, which is beneficial to improving air conditioning performance and reducing energy consumption.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the high-temperature refrigerant flows out from the second outlet 203, it can flow into the evaporator for passenger compartment cooling, the battery cooler, and the evaporative condenser of the air source heat pump. The battery cooler is connected to the vehicle's reservoir dryer, allowing the use of coaxial tube heat exchange technology. This eliminates the need for the battery cooler to be connected to the coaxial tube via piping, which helps reduce costs, minimizes space requirements, and simplifies piping installation.

[0036] It should be understood that a chiller, or cooling device or water chiller, is a device used for cooling and temperature control.

[0037] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner tank 2 includes a first inner tank surface 21 and a second inner tank surface 22 arranged opposite to each other. The second liquid inlet 202 and the second liquid outlet 203 are both located on the first inner tank surface 21. The automotive liquid storage and drying tank also includes a liquid inlet conduit 3. One end of the liquid inlet conduit 3 is connected to the second liquid inlet 202, and the other end of the liquid inlet conduit 3 is located in the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0038] In this embodiment, since one end of the liquid inlet conduit 3 is connected to the second liquid inlet 202 and the other end of the liquid inlet conduit 3 is located in the liquid storage chamber 201, the liquid inlet conduit 3 can introduce high-temperature refrigerant into the liquid storage chamber 201, so that the high-temperature refrigerant can exchange heat with the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber 103, which is beneficial to improving air conditioning performance and reducing energy consumption.

[0039] It should be understood that since the second liquid inlet 202 and the second liquid outlet 203 are both located on the first inner tank surface 21, the second liquid inlet 202 needs to be connected to the liquid inlet conduit 3. The liquid inlet conduit 3 increases the flow path of the high-temperature refrigerant in the liquid storage chamber 201, thereby increasing the heat exchange time between the high-temperature refrigerant in the liquid storage chamber 201 and the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber 103, so as to better carry out heat exchange.

[0040] Furthermore, the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 extends toward the second inner tank surface 22, and the distance between the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 and the second inner tank surface 22 is less than one-quarter of the distance between the first inner tank surface 21 and the second inner tank surface 22.

[0041] It should be understood that the liquid inlet conduit 3 includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 is connected to the second liquid inlet 202, and the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 extends toward the second inner tank surface 22.

[0042] In this embodiment, the distance between the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 and the second inner tank surface 22 is less than one-quarter of the distance between the first inner tank surface 21 and the second inner tank surface 22, so that the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 is closer to the second inner tank surface 22, further increasing the distance of the high-temperature refrigerant from the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 to the second liquid outlet 203, thereby increasing the heat exchange time between the high-temperature refrigerant in the liquid storage chamber 201 and the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber 103.

[0043] Preferably, the distance between the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 and the second inner tank surface 22 is in the range of 5-10 mm.

[0044] For example, the distance between the outlet of the liquid inlet conduit 3 and the second inner tank surface 22 can be 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, etc.

[0045] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the automotive liquid storage dryer also includes a spray valve 4. The spray valve 4 is connected to the end of the liquid inlet pipe 3 away from the second liquid inlet 202 and is spaced apart from the second inner tank surface 22. The spray valve 4 is used to uniformly spray high-temperature refrigerant onto the second inner tank surface 22.

[0046] In this embodiment, since the spray pattern of the spray valve 4 is a solid cone spray pattern, the spray area of ​​the spray valve 4 is circular. Therefore, after the high-temperature refrigerant is sprayed out through the spray valve 4, the high-temperature refrigerant can cover the second inner tank surface 22, which is beneficial to increase the heat exchange area and better exchange heat with the low-temperature refrigerant.

[0047] In this embodiment, the automotive liquid storage dryer also includes a filter element 5, which is located inside the liquid storage chamber 201 and is connected between the liquid inlet pipe 3 and the inner tank 2. The filter element 5 is used to filter impurities in the high-temperature refrigerant.

[0048] In this embodiment, the automotive liquid receiver dryer also includes a drying section 6, which is located inside the liquid receiver 201. The drying section 6 is located on the side of the filter 5 away from the spray valve 4. The drying section 6 is arranged around the liquid inlet conduit 3 and is connected to the liquid inlet conduit 3. The drying section 6 is used to absorb moisture in the refrigerant.

[0049] Specifically, after the high-temperature refrigerant is sprayed out from the spray valve 4, it first flows through the filter element 5 to filter out impurities in the high-temperature refrigerant; then it flows through the drying section 6 to absorb moisture in the high-temperature refrigerant; and finally it flows towards the bottom of the inner tank 2 for storage in the direction close to the first inner tank surface 21.

[0050] In this embodiment, the automotive liquid storage drying tank also includes a mounting bracket 7, which is located inside the liquid storage chamber 201. The mounting bracket 7 is located on the side of the drying section 6 away from the filter element 5. The mounting bracket 7 is arranged around the liquid inlet conduit 3 and is connected to the liquid inlet conduit 3. The drying section 6 is mounted on the mounting bracket 7.

[0051] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer tank 1 includes a first outer tank surface 11, a second outer tank surface 12, and an outer tank side surface 13. The first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the outer tank side surface 13 is connected between the first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12.

[0052] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer tank 1 is provided with a first liquid outlet 102 that communicates with the heat exchange chamber 103. The first liquid outlet 102 and the first liquid inlet 101 are spaced apart from each other. The first liquid inlet 101 is located on the surface 11 of the first outer tank, the first liquid outlet 102 is located on the side 13 of the outer tank, and the first liquid outlet 102 is connected to the inlet of the compressor.

[0053] In this embodiment, after the low-temperature refrigerant exchanges heat with the high-temperature refrigerant, the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber 103 can flow out to the compressor through the first liquid outlet 102 so that the refrigerant can be recycled in the pipeline.

[0054] In other embodiments, the outer tank 1 is only provided with a first liquid inlet 101, which can serve as both an inlet and an outlet for the cryogenic refrigerant. Specifically, the cryogenic refrigerant can enter the heat exchange chamber 103 through the first liquid inlet 101, and then the cryogenic refrigerant can flow out of the heat exchange chamber 103 through the first liquid inlet 101 by inverting the automotive liquid storage and drying tank.

[0055] In this embodiment, the automotive liquid receiver-drier also includes a sealing ring. When the first liquid outlet 102 is connected to the compressor inlet, the sealing ring is located between the first liquid outlet 102 and the compressor inlet to prevent refrigerant leakage. Furthermore, when the first liquid inlet 101, the second liquid inlet 202, and the second liquid outlet 203 are connected to other components, the sealing ring can also be used to seal the gaps to prevent refrigerant leakage.

[0056] In this embodiment, the automotive liquid receiver-drier also includes an oil guide 8, which is located inside the heat exchange chamber 103. The oil guide 8 is arranged around the outer wall of the inner tank 2 and is connected to the inner tank 2. The height of the oil guide 8 gradually decreases along the direction close to the first liquid outlet 102. The oil guide 8 can guide the compressor oil in the heat exchange chamber 103 into the compressor, preventing the compressor oil from failing to return to the compressor effectively.

[0057] It should be understood that the direction along the first inner tank surface 21 toward the second inner tank surface 22 is the height direction of the inner tank 2, and the height direction of the oil guide 8 is the same as the height direction of the inner tank 2.

[0058] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer tank 1 includes a first outer tank surface 11, a second outer tank surface 12, and an outer tank side surface 13. The first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the outer tank side surface 13 is connected between the first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12. The first liquid inlet 101 is located on the first outer tank surface 11, and the first liquid outlet 102 is located on the outer tank side surface 13. The distance between the first liquid outlet 102 and the second outer tank surface 12 is less than one-fifth of the distance between the first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12.

[0059] It should be understood that the distance between the first liquid outlet 102 and the second outer tank surface 12 refers to the distance between the part of the first liquid outlet 102 closest to the second outer tank surface 12 and the second outer tank surface 12.

[0060] In this embodiment, since the distance between the first liquid outlet 102 and the second outer tank surface 12 is less than one-fifth of the distance between the first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12, the first liquid outlet 102 is closer to the second outer tank surface 12, which increases the distance between the first liquid inlet 101 and the first liquid outlet 102, thereby increasing the flow path of the low-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange chamber 103, which is beneficial for the high-temperature refrigerant and the low-temperature refrigerant to exchange heat more fully.

[0061] Preferably, the distance between the first liquid outlet 102 and the second outer tank surface 12 is 0, so that when the cryogenic refrigerant flows to the second outer tank surface 12 of the heat exchange chamber 103, the cryogenic refrigerant can flow directly out from the first liquid outlet 102.

[0062] It should be understood that the distance between the first liquid outlet 102 and the second outer tank surface 12 can be close to 0, that is, a certain degree of error is allowed.

[0063] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the second inner tank surface 22 is located between the first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12, and the first inner tank surface 21 is located on the side of the second outer tank surface 12 away from the first outer tank surface 11.

[0064] In this embodiment, the inner tank 2 also includes an inner tank side surface 23, which is connected between the first outer tank surface 11 and the second outer tank surface 12, and the second outer tank surface 12 is connected to the inner tank side surface 23.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the high-temperature refrigerant is sprayed from the spray valve 4 onto the second inner tank surface 22, it immediately exchanges heat with the low-temperature refrigerant flowing in from the first liquid inlet 101 on the first outer tank surface 11. This ensures a large temperature difference between the high-temperature and low-temperature refrigerants, thereby guaranteeing effective heat exchange between them. Furthermore, it prevents the high-temperature refrigerant from flowing out of the liquid inlet pipe 3 without exchanging heat with the low-temperature refrigerant before exiting through the second liquid outlet 203.

[0066] Combination Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the automotive liquid storage drying tank also includes heat exchange fins 9, which are located inside the heat exchange chamber 103. The heat exchange fins 9 are arranged around the inner tank 2 and connected to the inner tank side 23 of the inner tank 2.

[0067] In this embodiment, when a large amount of high-temperature refrigerant is stored in the liquid storage chamber 201, the high-temperature refrigerant can exchange heat with the low-temperature refrigerant through the heat exchange fins 9, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the liquid storage chamber 201 and the heat exchange chamber 103.

[0068] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the heat exchange fins 9 are spirally arranged around the inner tank 2, which helps to increase the contact area between the heat exchange fins 9 and the inner tank 2, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the liquid storage chamber 201 and the heat exchange chamber 103.

[0069] In other embodiments, the automotive liquid storage drying tank includes multiple annular heat exchange fins 9, which are spaced apart from each other, and all of the multiple heat exchange fins 9 are arranged around the inner tank 2 and are connected to the inner tank 2.

[0070] It should be understood that the distance between the heat exchange fins 9 can be selected according to the heat exchange requirements. If it is necessary to improve the heat exchange efficiency, the distance between the heat exchange fins 9 can be reduced.

[0071] In this embodiment, the inner tank 2 is made of aluminum, which has good thermal conductivity, so that the high-temperature refrigerant and the low-temperature refrigerant can exchange heat better.

[0072] In this embodiment, compared with plate coaxial tubes and tubular coaxial tubes, the heat exchange chamber 103 of the automotive liquid storage dryer has a larger volume, which is beneficial to reduce flow resistance and improve heat pump performance.

[0073] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including a battery cooler and the aforementioned automotive fluid desiccant, wherein the battery cooler is connected to the automotive fluid desiccant.
