This reduces the overall system size and space required, effectively lowering system complexity and weight, improving installation and maintenance convenience, and also helping to optimize vehicle space layout and enhance the design flexibility of new energy vehicles. Additionally, the water heating component uses a portion of the water inlet channel wall as the heating element. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, the heating element cuts the magnetic lines of field to generate heat, which heats the heat exchange medium. This eliminates the need for a heating core in traditional electromagnetic heating, making the water heating component simpler and more compact, further reducing space requirements. Meanwhile, the electromagnetic coil disk has a disk-shaped structure, which allows it to fit better against the surface of the flow channel plate, further reducing its space occupation.

[0035] With increasing global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, new energy vehicles (including pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) are gradually becoming the mainstream in the automotive market. Thermal management systems, as a crucial component of new energy vehicles, play a key role in vehicle performance, battery life, and passenger comfort.

[0036] The inventors discovered that current thermal management systems typically employ a split design for their components, which are installed in different locations within the vehicle and connected via wiring harnesses and conduits. This approach occupies considerable space, resulting in low vehicle space utilization and increased costs. Furthermore, existing thermal management systems often utilize PTC electric heaters, which have complex structures and large volumes, further increasing space requirements and incurring high operating costs.

[0037] In view of this, the present invention provides a heat management system and an automobile. By integrating key components such as the refrigerant inlet channel, refrigerant outlet channel, water inlet channel, water outlet channel, reservoir, water heating assembly, and heat exchanger onto a single flow channel plate, the number of connectors and pipes is reduced, making the entire heat management system more compact, reducing the overall system size and space occupied, and also helping to optimize the vehicle's spatial layout. Furthermore, the water heating assembly uses part of the water inlet channel wall as the heating element, eliminating the heating core required in traditional electromagnetic heating. This makes the water heating assembly simpler and more compact, further reducing space occupation. Simultaneously, the disc-shaped structure of the electromagnetic coil allows for better contact with the surface of the flow channel plate, further reducing space occupation.

[0038] To better understand the above technical solution, the following detailed explanation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a thermal management system, which includes:

[0040] The flow channel plate 100 is provided with independent refrigerant inlet channel, refrigerant outlet channel, water inlet channel 120 and water outlet channel 110. The refrigerant inlet channel is used to supply refrigerant into the flow channel plate 100, the refrigerant outlet channel is used to supply refrigerant out of the flow channel plate 100, the water inlet channel 120 is used to introduce the heat exchange medium in the storage tank 200 into the flow channel plate 100, and the water outlet channel 110 is used to supply the heat exchange medium out of the flow channel plate 100.

[0041] A liquid storage tank 200 is disposed on the flow channel plate 100. The liquid storage tank 200 has a liquid storage chamber for storing heat exchange media such as liquid water. The liquid storage tank 200 is connected to the water inlet channel 120. It is understood that the liquid storage tank 200 is disposed on the upper surface of the flow channel plate 100, the flow channel plate 100 has an inlet communicating with the water inlet channel 120, and the liquid storage tank 200 has a supply port communicating with the liquid storage chamber. The inlet and supply ports are connected, allowing the heat exchange medium in the liquid storage tank 200 to enter the water inlet channel 120. The liquid storage tank 200 can be assembled onto the flow channel plate 100 using bolts, clips, etc. A sealing ring can be provided between the liquid storage tank 200 and the flow channel plate 100 to improve the sealing performance of the connection. Of course, in other embodiments, the liquid storage tank 200 can also be welded onto the flow channel plate 100.

[0042] The water heating assembly 300 includes an electromagnetic coil disk 310 disposed between the flow channel plate 100 and the liquid storage tank 200. A portion of the channel wall of the water inlet channel 120 is configured as a heating part 320 adapted to cooperate with the electromagnetic coil disk 310 for electromagnetic heating. The electromagnetic coil disk 310 is correspondingly disposed to the heating part 320. Specifically, the electromagnetic coil disk 310 generates a magnetic field when energized, and the heating part 320 is made of a conductive and magnetically conductive material that can cut magnetic field lines to generate heat, thereby heating the heat exchange medium. Furthermore, the disk-shaped electromagnetic coil disk 310 can better fit the surface of the flow channel plate 100 and / or the surface of the liquid storage tank 200, resulting in a compact layout and a smaller overall height after assembly, thus reducing space occupation. Optionally, the heating element 320 and the electromagnetic coil disk 310 are disposed on opposite sides of the water inlet channel 120, with the heating element 320 disposed on the bottom surface of the water inlet channel 120. This allows the heat exchange medium to flow closely against the heating element 320 within the water inlet channel 120, increasing the heat exchange area and thus improving the heating effect.

[0043] A heat exchanger 400 is disposed on the flow channel plate 100. The heat exchanger 400 has a water heat exchange channel and a refrigerant heat exchange channel connected by heat transfer. The refrigerant inlet channel, the refrigerant heat exchange channel, and the refrigerant outlet channel are sequentially connected. The liquid storage tank 200, the water inlet channel 120, the water heat exchange channel, and the water outlet channel 110 are sequentially connected. It can be understood that the heat exchanger 400 enables heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and the refrigerant. That is, when the refrigerant needs to evaporate and vaporize, it needs to absorb heat from the heat exchange medium; when the refrigerant needs to condense and liquefy, the heat exchange medium absorbs heat from the refrigerant. In other words, the heat exchanger 400 can be used as a condenser or an evaporator, depending on the actual application requirements. Optionally, the heat exchanger 400 is a plate heat exchanger with a large surface area, which can provide efficient heat transfer. Moreover, turbulence is easily formed when fluid flows in narrow channels, which increases the contact opportunities between the fluid and the plate surface, further improving heat transfer efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, the water heating component 300 heats the heat exchange medium, which then exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the heat exchanger 400, providing the heat required for the refrigerant's evaporation and vaporization, thereby meeting the heating requirements of the thermal management system. Furthermore, by integrating key components such as the refrigerant inlet channel, refrigerant outlet channel, water inlet channel 120, water outlet channel 110, storage tank 200, water heating component 300, and heat exchanger 400 onto a single flow channel plate 100, the number of connectors and pipes is reduced, making the entire thermal management system more compact, reducing the overall system size and space occupied, effectively lowering system complexity and overall weight, improving installation and maintenance convenience, and also helping to optimize vehicle space layout and enhance the design flexibility of new energy vehicles. Additionally, the water heating component 300 uses a portion of the channel wall of the water inlet channel 120 as a heating element 320. When the electromagnetic coil disk 310 is energized, the heating element 320 cuts the magnetic field lines to generate heat, thus heating the heat exchange medium. By eliminating the heating core found in traditional electromagnetic heating, the water heating assembly 300 has a simpler and more compact structure, reducing its space requirements. Furthermore, the disc-shaped electromagnetic coil disc 310 fits better against the surface of the flow channel plate 100, further minimizing its space requirements.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3The flow channel plate 100 has a mounting groove 130 on its surface facing the liquid storage tank 200, and the electromagnetic coil disk 310 is disposed in the mounting groove 130. It can be understood that the surface of the flow channel plate 100 facing the liquid storage tank 200 is recessed to form a mounting groove 130, and the electromagnetic coil disk 310 is disposed in the mounting groove 130. This limits the movement of the electromagnetic coil disk 310, preventing displacement and improving the reliability of its installation. Optionally, the electromagnetic coil disk 310 does not protrude from the mounting groove 130; that is, the top surface of the electromagnetic coil disk 310 can be flush with or lower than the opening of the mounting groove 130. This reduces the overall height of the assembled electromagnetic coil disk 310 structure, further reducing space occupation. The water heating assembly 300 also includes a cover plate 330, which is disposed between the flow channel plate 100 and the liquid storage tank 200 and covers the opening of the mounting groove 130. Understandably, the cover plate 330 can cover the opening of the mounting groove 130, thus sealing the electromagnetic coil disk 310 within the mounting groove 130 and preventing dust, rainwater, etc., from entering the interior of the mounting groove 130, thereby improving the reliability of the electromagnetic coil disk 310. Additionally, the cover plate 330 can shield the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil disk 310 when energized, reducing electromagnetic interference to other electronic components. Optionally, the cover plate 330 and the flow channel plate 100 can be welded, snap-fitted, screwed, etc., and are not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the cover plate 330 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel plate 100, and the cover plate 330 is positioned between the liquid storage tank 200 and the flow channel plate 100.

[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water heating assembly 300 further includes an insulating layer, which is disposed on the wall and / or bottom of the mounting groove 130. The insulating layer provides electrical insulation, thus isolating the water inlet channel 120 from the electromagnetic coil disk 310. Optionally, the insulating layer can be disposed on the bottom of the mounting groove 130, or on the wall of the mounting groove 130, or simultaneously on both the wall and bottom of the mounting groove 130; this is not limited to any particular embodiment. Of course, in other embodiments, an insulating layer can also be disposed on the surface of the electromagnetic coil disk 310 to insulate the cover plate 330 from the electromagnetic coil disk 310, preventing the cover plate 330 from becoming electrified and affecting safety during use.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3The flow channel plate 100 is provided with a water inlet 140 communicating with the water inlet channel 120. The water inlet 140 is located on one side of the mounting groove 130. The cover plate 330 is provided with a connecting channel, which connects the water inlet 140 and the storage tank 200. The cover plate 330 and the storage tank 200, as well as the cover plate 330 and the flow channel plate 100, are all connected by sealing rings. It can be understood that the flow channel plate 100 is provided with the water inlet 140, the cover plate 330 is provided with the connecting channel, which connects the water inlet 140 and the liquid supply port. The storage tank 200 is located on the surface of the flow channel plate 100 behind the cover plate 330, and the heat exchange medium in the storage tank 200 can flow into the water inlet channel 120. A sealing ring is provided between the cover plate 330 and the liquid storage tank 200, and / or between the cover plate 330 and the flow channel plate 100, which can improve the sealing of the connection and prevent leakage. In addition, the water inlet 140 is located on one side of the mounting groove 130, which can avoid the electromagnetic coil disk 310, avoid the use of a complicated structure to isolate the electromagnetic coil disk 310 and the water channel, making it easier to manufacture and lower in cost.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water heating assembly 300 further includes a terminal 350, which is disposed on the surface of the flow channel plate 100 facing the liquid storage tank 200. The terminal 350 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil disk 310. Through the terminal 350, the electromagnetic coil disk 310 can be electrically connected to the controller via a wiring harness to realize the power supply or control of the electromagnetic coil disk 310.

[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The thermal management system further includes a control component 500, which is disposed on the flow channel plate 100. The electromagnetic coil disk 310 is electrically connected to the control component 500. It is understood that the control component 500 is integrated into the flow channel plate 100, and the electromagnetic coil disk 310 can be connected to the control component 500 via a terminal block 350. The control component 500 provides power or control to the electromagnetic coil disk 310. Furthermore, the smaller distance between the electromagnetic coil disk 310 and the control component 500 reduces the length of the connecting wire harness, making the connection more convenient and stable. Optionally, the cover plate 330 is provided with an electrical connector, and the terminal block 350 is electrically connected to the electrical connector via a wire harness. The electrical connector is electrically connected to the control component 500 via a mating wire harness. It should be noted that the control component 500 is located on the flow channel plate 100. The control component 500 can be directly connected to the flow channel plate 100, or it can be indirectly connected to the flow channel plate 100 through the cover plate 330. The choice can be made according to the actual application and is not limited here.

[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1The thermal management system includes multiple water outlet channels 110 and a multi-way valve 610. The multi-way valve 610 connects the water heat exchange channel and the multiple water outlet channels 110, ensuring that at least one of the water outlet channels 110 is connected to the water heat exchange channel. Each water outlet channel 110 can be connected to a corresponding load, enabling cooling, heating, or heat dissipation functions for different loads within the thermal management system. Furthermore, the multiple water outlet channels 110 can be switched via the multi-way valve 610, which is simple and convenient. Optionally, the multi-way valve 610 is an electronic valve connected to the control component 500, which improves the degree of automatic control of the thermal management system.

[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 1 The thermal management system further includes a refrigerant valve 620 electrically connected to the control component 500. The refrigerant valve 620 is disposed on the flow channel plate 100 and connected to the refrigerant inlet channel to open or close the refrigerant inlet channel. The refrigerant valve 620 and the control component 500 are electrically connected. Thus, the opening or closing of the refrigerant inlet channel can be controlled by the refrigerant valve 620. Moreover, both the refrigerant valve 620 and the control component 500 are integrated on the flow channel plate 100 or the cover plate 330, resulting in shorter wiring harnesses and a more compact structure.

[0052] And / or, refer to Figure 1 The thermal management system also includes a water parameter sensor 700, which is disposed on the flow channel plate 100 and electrically connected to the control component 500. The water parameter sensor 700 can be used to collect temperature, flow rate, flow signal, etc., and can monitor key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate of the heat exchange medium in real time, and feed them back to the control component 500. This allows the system to automatically adjust the operating state of the electromagnetic coil disk 310 according to the real-time monitoring data to adapt to different working requirements and achieve automated control.

[0053] And / or, refer to 1 and Figure 2 The thermal management system also includes a water pump 800, which is connected to the water inlet channel 120. The control component 500 is electrically connected to the water pump 800. The water pump 800 can pump the heat exchange medium in the storage tank 200 to the water inlet channel 120 for heating. In other words, the water pump 800 can drive the heat exchange medium to flow in the flow channel of the thermal management system.

[0054] In one embodiment of this invention, multiple water heat exchange channels and multiple refrigerant heat exchange channels are stacked together, and these multiple water heat exchange channels and multiple refrigerant heat exchange channels are alternately arranged. This increases the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchange medium and the refrigerant, improves the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange medium and the refrigerant, and is beneficial to improving the thermal management effect of the system.

[0055] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The water heating assembly 300 further includes a heat-conducting structure 340, which is disposed in the water inlet channel 120 and connected to the heating part 320. Specifically, one end of the heat-conducting structure 340 is connected to the heating part 320, enabling it to conduct heat from the heating part 320 away from the heating part 320, thereby improving the heating efficiency and effect of the heat exchange medium in the water inlet channel 120 away from the heating part 320, preventing local temperatures from being too high or too low, and improving the heating uniformity of the heat exchange medium in the water inlet channel 120. Optionally, the heat-conducting structure 340 is a heat-conducting fin. In other embodiments, the heat-conducting structure 340 may also be a heat-conducting protrusion integrally formed with the heating part 320.

[0056] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The thermal management system also includes loads such as a warm air core, a cold air core, an outdoor low-temperature radiator, a battery heat exchanger, and an electric drive heat exchanger connected to the water outlet channel 110, as well as loads such as a compressor, a gas-liquid separator, an outdoor heat exchanger, an evaporator, and valves connected to the refrigerant outlet channel, which can complete the system's cooling, heating, and heat dissipation functions.
