Among them, the waterproofing requirements of the cabin are also getting higher and higher when electric vehicles are wading through water. The cooling circuits of electric vehicle battery cooling, motor and electronic control, front-end module and chassis piping, etc., constitute a large thermal management system. The integrated cooling circuit inside the cabin and other cooling circuits outside the cabin need to be connected through a transom connector. The transom connector is mainly used for quick connection of nylon / rubber pipes to VDA female connectors on the opposite parts. This connector not only has the function of coolant inlet and outlet, but also has the requirement of preventing dust, noise and water from outside the cabin from entering the cabin.

[0003] Currently, the requirements for waterproofing and dustproofing of through-plate joints are becoming increasingly stringent. In existing through-plate structures, the sealing rubber components are prone to detachment, and after installation, displacement of the rubber components can easily lead to incomplete sealing.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a plate connector for automotive cooling pipes, including a plate connector body 100 and a sealing foam 200; the plate connector body 100 has an installation ring groove 110 for installing the sealing foam 200, the sealing foam 200 is bonded in the installation ring groove 110, and the sealing foam 200 protrudes out of the installation ring groove 110; the plate connector body 100 is provided with a plurality of connectors 120, and the plurality of connectors 120 are located outside the installation ring groove 110.

[0038] Specifically, a sealing ring groove is provided on the plate connector body 100, and the sealing foam 200 is firmly set in the sealing ring groove by adhesive bonding, which improves the connection stability between the sealing foam 200 and the plate connector body 100, effectively preventing the sealing foam 200 from falling off the sealing ring groove of the plate connector body 100 during transportation. This avoids the problem of the rubber seals not being firmly installed on the plate connector body 100 in the prior art. Moreover, there is no relative movement between the sealing foam 200 and the plate connector body 100 during subsequent installation, which can ensure the sealing performance of the connection.

[0039] The connector 120 uses a connecting nut, which is embedded in the plate connector body 100.

[0040] Among them, the number of connectors 120 is three.

[0041] Specifically, the metal connecting nut is embedded in the through-plate connector body 100. This design can better reduce the pressure from the fastening screws, effectively prevent the through-plate connector body 100 from deforming or being damaged, and minimize the damage to the sealing effect of the through-plate connector body 100 caused by the fastening screws.

[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, one side of the plate connector body 100 is provided with a first connector 300 for connecting to a VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie, German Association of the Automotive Industry) female connector, and the other side is provided with a second connector 400 for connecting to a rubber hose.

[0043] The mounting annular groove 110 and the first connector 300 are located on the same side of the plate connector body 100, and the first connector 300 is located inside the mounting annular groove 110.

[0044] Specifically, a first connector 300 and a second connector 400 are respectively provided on both sides of the plate connector body 100. The first connector 300 can be connected to the VDA female connector, and the second connector 400 can be connected to a nylon or rubber tube.

[0045] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the through-plate connector body 100 has a main channel 130, and the first connector 300 and the second connector 400 are both connected to the main channel 130; one end of the main channel 130 is open.

[0046] The main channel 130 is equipped with a throttling orifice 131.

[0047] Specifically, the plate connector body 100 has a main channel 130 for connecting the first connector 300 and the second connector 400, and a throttling hole 131 is provided in the main channel 130. At the same time, one end of the main channel 130 is open. With this configuration, the plate connector body 100 can be integrally injection molded without the need for separate production, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0048] In addition, a sealing cap 500 is provided at the open end of the main channel 130. The opening of the main channel 130 can be sealed by subsequently installing the sealing cap 500, ensuring the normal use of the through-plate connector body 100.

[0049] It should be noted that the sealing cap 500 is welded to the through-plate connector body 100 to improve the connection stability between the sealing cap 500 and the through-plate connector body 100.

[0050] It should be noted that by setting one end of the main channel 130 on the plate connector body 100 to be open, not only can the plate connector body 100 be integrally injection molded, but also the throttling hole 131 structure can be conveniently set inside the main channel 130. There is no need to realize the throttling hole 131 by subsequently pressing metal parts into the first connector 300 or the second connector 400, which reduces production steps and lowers production costs.

[0051] This embodiment provides an automotive cooling pipe system, including a plate connector for automotive cooling pipe systems.

[0052] Specifically, the automotive cooling pipe provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the aforementioned automotive cooling pipe through-plate connector compared to the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
