Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive thermal management technology, and in particular to an automotive thermal management system and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global new energy vehicle industry, battery pack safety and overall vehicle performance have become core concerns. As a crucial component ensuring stable battery pack temperatures, improving energy efficiency, and guaranteeing safe vehicle operation, the automotive thermal management system's technical performance and integration level significantly impact the vehicle's spatial layout, weight control, and driving experience. In new energy vehicles, the thermal management system coordinates the operation of multiple components such as compressors, heat exchangers, and liquid receivers to regulate the temperature of critical components like the battery, motor, and cabin. Therefore, the structural design and installation method of the thermal management system are of paramount importance in the research and development of new energy vehicles.

[0003] In existing technologies, the components of thermal management systems are typically installed in a distributed manner, meaning they are fixed to different locations on the vehicle body. This dispersed arrangement reduces the overall space utilization of the vehicle, compressing the usable interior space and increasing manufacturing costs due to the need for individual installation structures for each component. Furthermore, the low integration of these dispersed components results in a bulky and heavier thermal management system, indirectly impacting the vehicle's energy consumption and range. In addition, the vibrations generated during compressor operation are directly transmitted to the vehicle body, causing noise, affecting ride comfort, and potentially leading to fatigue damage to other body components due to long-term vibration, thus reducing the vehicle's lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an automotive thermal management system and an automotive vehicle to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] This utility model provides an automotive thermal management system, which includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a liquid receiver, a mounting bracket, a first vibration damping assembly, and a second vibration damping assembly. The mounting bracket includes a base and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is connected to the base and defines a first mounting position and a second mounting position on the base; the mounting plate and the base are perpendicular to each other. The compressor is located at the first mounting position. One end of the first vibration damping assembly is connected to the base, and the other end is connected to the compressor; a first preset gap L1 exists between the compressor and the mounting plate.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0050] This embodiment provides an automotive thermal management system and an automobile, which has a high degree of integration, can save installation space and reduce costs; at the same time, it has a good vibration reduction effect, reduces noise generation, and extends service life.

[0051] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the automotive thermal management system mainly includes a compressor 20, a condenser 30, an evaporator 40, a liquid receiver 50, a mounting bracket 10, a first vibration damping assembly 60, and a second vibration damping assembly 70. The mounting bracket 10 includes a base 11 and a mounting plate 12. The mounting plate 12 is connected to the base 11 and defines a first mounting position 13 and a second mounting position 14 on the base 11; the mounting plate 12 is perpendicular to the base 11. The compressor 20 is located at the first mounting position 13. One end of the first vibration damping assembly 60 is connected to the base 11, and the other end is connected to the compressor 20; a first preset gap L1 exists between the compressor 20 and the mounting plate 12. The condenser 30, evaporator 40, and liquid receiver 50 are all located at the second mounting position 14. All three are connected to the mounting plate 12, and a second preset gap L2 exists between the condenser 30 and the evaporator 40, and between the evaporator 40 and the liquid receiver 50. One end of the second damping component 70 is connected to the base 11, and the other end is configured to be connected to the vehicle body.

[0052] Based on the above design, the mounting bracket 10 forms a structured layout with the base 11 and the vertically connected mounting plate 12, concentrating the compressor 20, condenser 30, evaporator 40, and liquid receiver 50 in the first mounting position 13 and the second mounting position 14. This avoids the space waste caused by the dispersed installation of components in the prior art, significantly improves the integration of the automotive thermal management system, reduces the space occupied by the vehicle, and saves costs. The first vibration damping component 60 connects the compressor 20 to the base 11 and can absorb the vibration of the compressor 20 during operation. The second vibration damping component 70 connects the base 11 to the vehicle body and can absorb the vibration transmitted from the vehicle body to the base 11 and the vibration transmitted from the base 11 to the vehicle body. The arrangement of the first vibration damping component 60 and the second vibration damping component 70 reduces the transmission of vibration between components, reduces noise caused by vibration, improves the driving experience, and reduces fatigue damage to components caused by vibration, extending service life. In addition, the first preset gap L1 between the compressor 20 and the mounting plate 12 can prevent the compressor 20 from directly contacting the mounting plate 12 when vibrating, avoiding collision wear and the generation of additional noise. The condenser 30 and the evaporator 40, as well as the evaporator 40 and the liquid storage tank 50, all have a second preset gap L2, which can prevent mutual interference between the components due to vibration, ensure that each component works independently and stably, reduce the risk of failure, and improve the stability and reliability of the automotive thermal management system.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the maximum amplitude of the compressor 20 during operation is typically 3mm-8mm, and the first preset gap L1 can be set to 5mm-15mm (e.g., 8mm) to ensure that the compressor 20 does not collide with the mounting plate 12 under extreme operating conditions. The vibration amplitude of the condenser 30 and evaporator 40 during operation is smaller, typically 1mm-3mm, and the second preset gap L2 can be set to 3mm-10mm (e.g., 5mm) to avoid collisions between the condenser 30, evaporator 40, and liquid receiver 50.

[0054] In some alternative embodiments, the vertical connection between the mounting plate 12 and the base 11 is fixed by welding, such as by arc welding.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, both the base 11 and the mounting plate 12 are die-cast metal parts. Exemplarily, the base 11 and the mounting plate 12 are die-cast from Q355 low-alloy steel. The die-casting process can achieve one-time molding of complex structures and avoid dimensional errors caused by welding. Q355 low-alloy steel has high yield strength and can withstand the weight and vibration impact of components such as the compressor 20, condenser 30 and evaporator 40.

[0056] like Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the compressor 20 is equipped with a controller 21, and the controller 21 is equipped with a high-pressure connector 22. The mounting plate 12 is provided with a chamfer 121, which is configured to form a second clearance position 122 for the high-pressure connector 22. At least a portion of the high-pressure connector 22 is located in the second mounting position 14. The controller 21 is electrically connected to the compressor 20, thereby controlling the start and stop of the compressor 20.

[0057] The chamfer 121 of the mounting plate 12 forms a second clearance position 122, which can accommodate the high-pressure connector 22 protruding from the compressor 20, preventing the connector from colliding with the mounting plate 12 and ensuring that the installation, insertion, removal, and maintenance of the connector are not hindered. At the same time, the high-pressure connector 22 is at least partially located in the second mounting position 14, thus utilizing the unused space of the second mounting position 14, eliminating the need to reserve additional installation space for the high-pressure connector 22, further reducing the size of the automotive thermal management system and improving its integration.

[0058] For example, chamfer 121 is 45°.

[0059] In some alternative embodiments, chamfer 121 can also be replaced by a fillet. The radius of the fillet can be set according to actual needs.

[0060] like Figures 4-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 11 includes a first mounting portion 15, a second mounting portion 16, and a connecting portion 17. One end of the connecting portion 17 is connected to the first mounting portion 15, and the other end is connected to the second mounting portion 16. The first mounting portion 15 has a first mounting hole 151, and the second mounting portion 16 has a second mounting hole 161. The first vibration damping component 60 passes through the first mounting hole 151 to fix the compressor 20 to the first mounting portion 15, and the second vibration damping component 70 passes through the second mounting hole 161 to connect the second mounting portion 16 to the vehicle body.

[0061] Specifically, the base 11 is functionally divided through a first mounting part 15, a second mounting part 16, and a connecting part 17. That is, the first mounting part 15 is used to mount the compressor 20, the second mounting part 16 is used for connection to the vehicle body, and the connecting part 17 strengthens the structural support of the base 11. The first mounting hole 151 corresponds one-to-one with the first vibration damping component 60, and the second mounting hole 161 corresponds one-to-one with the second vibration damping component 70, ensuring that both the first and second vibration damping components 60 and 70 can be stably installed in their preset positions, avoiding a decrease in vibration damping effect due to installation misalignment, and ensuring the controllability of the vibration transmission path.

[0062] For further information, please continue to refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4-6The first mounting portion 15 and the second mounting portion 16 are parallel to each other. The angle between the connecting portion 17 and the first mounting portion 15 is 'a', and the angle between the connecting portion 17 and the second mounting portion 16 is 'b', where 'a' = 'b' > 90°. This makes the base 11 form a structure similar to a "bent-angle support," which, compared to a straight structure, can better distribute the stress generated by the weight of the component, enhance the bending resistance and load-bearing capacity of the base 11, and improve the stability and reliability of the base 11 to adapt to the heavy working conditions of the automotive thermal management system.

[0063] For example, a = b = 120°.

[0064] like Figures 4-6 As shown, there are two second mounting portions 16 and two connecting portions 17, with each second mounting portion 16 and connecting portion 17 corresponding to the other. The two second mounting portions 16 are located on opposite sides of the first mounting portion 15, and the two connecting portions 17 are located on opposite sides of the first mounting portion 15, with the two second mounting portions 16 symmetrically arranged about the first mounting portion 15. This ensures that the connection points between the base 11 and the vehicle body are symmetrically distributed, resulting in uniform force distribution and preventing the base 11 from tilting or deforming due to unilateral force, thus ensuring the overall stability of the automotive thermal management system. Simultaneously, the symmetrical design of the base 11 ensures consistent stiffness in all directions during vibration transmission, reducing vibration amplification caused by structural asymmetry and improving vibration damping.

[0065] For example, the two second mounting portions 16 are located on the left and right sides of the first mounting portion 15, and the two second mounting portions 16 are equidistant from the central axis of the first mounting portion 15 (e.g., 150mm each). The two connecting portions 17 are the same size to ensure force balance.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first mounting part 15 and the two connecting parts 17 form a first clearance position 18, which is configured to avoid the chassis crossbeam on the vehicle body.

[0067] On the one hand, it effectively avoids structural interference between the base 11 of the automotive thermal management system and the chassis crossbeam during installation or vehicle operation, ensuring stable mounting on the vehicle body and solving the problem of installation difficulties or the need to adjust the installation position of the automotive thermal management system due to space conflicts. On the other hand, the first clearance position 18 adapts to the space occupied by the chassis crossbeam through structural design, allowing the automotive thermal management system to be arranged more compactly close to the chassis, without the need to add extra installation space to avoid the chassis crossbeam, improving the utilization rate of the limited space of the whole vehicle, especially suitable for scenarios with dense chassis components (such as battery packs, motors, etc.) in new energy vehicles. At the same time, the design of the first clearance position 18 avoids direct contact between the base 11 and the chassis crossbeam, reducing friction or collision caused by vibration during vehicle operation, protecting the structural integrity of the body crossbeam and the automotive thermal management system, and extending their service life.

[0068] like Figures 5-6 As shown, in this embodiment, there are four first mounting holes 151 and four second mounting holes 161, and the four first mounting holes 151 are equally spaced. Each second mounting part 16 is equipped with two second mounting holes 161. There are four first vibration damping components 60 and four second vibration damping components 70, and the first vibration damping components 60 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the first mounting holes 151, and the second vibration damping components 70 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the second mounting holes 161.

[0069] Specifically, the four first mounting holes 151 can be evenly distributed in a rectangular array, allowing the compressor 20 to be uniformly fixed by the four first vibration damping components 60, avoiding vibration of the compressor 20 caused by excessive force at a single point. The four second mounting holes 161 are symmetrically distributed, making the connection between the base 11 and the vehicle body more stable and preventing the base 11 from shaking. The four first vibration damping components 60 and the four second vibration damping components 70 can share vibration energy, preventing elastic fatigue of a single first vibration damping component 60 or a single second vibration damping component 70 due to excessive load, extending service life and improving vibration damping effect.

[0070] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the first vibration damping component 60 in this embodiment includes a first bolt 61, a first bushing 62, a first upper washer 63, and a first lower washer 64. The first upper washer 63 is located on the upper end face of the first mounting part 15, and the first lower washer 64 is located on the lower end face of the first mounting part 15. The first bushing 62 is sequentially inserted into the first lower washer 64, the first mounting hole 151, and the first upper washer 63 from bottom to top. The first bolt 61 is inserted into the first bushing 62 from bottom to top. The compressor 20 is provided with a third mounting hole (not shown in the figure), and the end of the first bolt 61 is connected to the third mounting hole.

[0071] Specifically, the first bushing 62, the first upper washer 63, and the first lower washer 64 of the first vibration damping assembly 60 can all be made of rubber. When the compressor 20 vibrates, these three components absorb energy through elastic deformation, reducing the transmission of vibration to the base 11. Similarly, when the vehicle body vibrates, these components can also buffer the vibration, reducing the transmission of vehicle body vibration to the compressor 20, thus achieving a highly efficient vibration damping effect between the compressor 20 and the base 11.

[0072] The first bolt 61 passes through the first bushing 62 from bottom to top and is threaded to the compressor 20. The pre-tightening force can ensure a firm connection and prevent loosening caused by vibration. The first upper washer 63 and the first lower washer 64 respectively fit the upper and lower surfaces of the first mounting part 15 to ensure that the vibration energy is elastically buffered along the transmission path from the compressor 20 to the base 11.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first upper washer 63 is provided with a first protrusion 631. The first protrusion 631 passes through the first mounting hole 151 and is embedded in the through hole of the first lower washer 64. This can prevent the two from sliding relative to each other during vibration, ensure that the first upper washer 63 and the first lower washer 64 deform synchronously, and ensure consistent vibration reduction effect.

[0074] For example, the gap between the diameter of the through hole of the first lower washer 64 and the diameter of the first protrusion 631 is set to 0.1mm-0.3mm. This ensures both the feasibility of assembly and prevents loosening.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first bushing 62 includes a first limiting part 621 and a first extension part 622 connected to each other. The first limiting part 621 abuts against the lower end face of the first lower washer 64. One end of the first extension part 622 away from the first limiting part 621 passes through the through hole and the first protrusion 631 of the first lower washer 64 and is adapted to the third mounting hole.

[0076] The first limiting part 621 abuts against the lower end face of the first lower washer 64, restricting the first bushing 62 from moving upward. The first extension part 622 passes through the through hole of the first lower washer 64 and the first protrusion 631 and is adapted to the third mounting hole of the compressor 20, ensuring that the first bushing 62 does not shift during vibration and ensuring the stability of elastic deformation.

[0077] Optionally, the first extension 622 can extend into the third mounting hole of the compressor 20, increasing the transmission distance and contact area of ​​vibration from the compressor 20 to the first bushing 62, allowing vibration energy to be absorbed by the elastic material over a longer path, further improving the vibration reduction effect.

[0078] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the second damping component 70 in this embodiment includes a second bolt 71, a second bushing 72, a second upper washer 73, and a second lower washer 74. The second upper washer 73 is located on the upper end face of the second mounting portion 16, and the second lower washer 74 is located on the lower end face of the second mounting portion 16. The second bushing 72 is sequentially inserted from top to bottom into the second upper washer 73, the second mounting hole 161, and the second lower washer 74. The second bolt 71 is inserted from top to bottom into the second bushing 72, and the end of the second bolt 71 is used for connection with the vehicle body.

[0079] Specifically, the second bushing 72, the second upper washer 73, and the second lower washer 74 of the second vibration damping assembly 70 can all be made of elastic materials. The second mounting portion 16 is tightly connected to the vehicle body via the second bolt 71 (from top to bottom), absorbing vibrations transmitted from the base 11 to the vehicle body (such as vibrations from the compressor 20 transmitted to the vehicle body via the base 11) and vibrations transmitted from the vehicle body to the base 11 (such as road bumps), further reducing noise and vibration impact. The second upper washer 73 is located at the upper end of the second mounting portion 16, and the second lower washer 74 is located at the lower end of the second mounting portion 16, completely covering the second mounting hole 161. Combined with the preload of the second bolt 71, this ensures that the connection between the base 11 and the vehicle body will not loosen due to long-term vibration.

[0080] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second lower washer 74 is provided with a second protrusion 741. The second protrusion 741 passes through the second mounting hole 161 and is embedded in the through hole of the second upper washer 73. This can prevent the two from sliding relative to each other during vibration, ensure that the second upper washer 73 and the second lower washer 74 deform synchronously, and ensure consistent vibration reduction effect.

[0081] For example, the gap between the diameter of the through hole of the second upper washer 73 and the diameter of the second protrusion 741 is set to 0.1mm-0.3mm. This ensures both the feasibility of assembly and prevents loosening.

[0082] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second bushing 72 includes a second limiting portion 721 and a second extension portion 722 connected to each other. The second limiting portion 721 abuts against the upper end face of the second upper washer 73. One end of the second extension portion 722, away from the second limiting portion 721, passes through the through hole and the second protrusion 741 of the second upper washer 73. The second limiting portion 721 abuts against the upper end face of the second upper washer 73, restricting the second bushing 72 from moving downwards. The second extension portion 722 passes through the through hole and the second protrusion 741 of the second upper washer 73, ensuring that the second bushing 72 remains stable during vibration and preventing a decrease in vibration damping effect due to displacement.

[0083] Optionally, the second extension 722 can extend into the vehicle body connection structure (such as the connection hole of the vehicle body) to provide a longer elastic material contact along the transmission path of vibration from the base 11 to the vehicle body, thereby further absorbing vibration energy and improving the vibration reduction effect.

[0084] This embodiment also provides an automobile, which includes a body and the aforementioned automobile thermal management system, the automobile thermal management system being fixed to the body.

[0085] For example, the vehicle thermal management system is fixed to the connection hole at the bottom of the vehicle body by the second damping component 70. The mounting point is a certain distance away from the edge of the battery pack to prevent the heat from the condenser 30, compressor 20 or evaporator 40 in the vehicle thermal management system from affecting the heat dissipation of the battery pack.

[0086] This car has a high degree of integration, which can save space in the vehicle; at the same time, it can reduce vehicle noise and improve driving comfort.
