[0038] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides an integrated flow channel plate agent-side integrated module, which includes:

[0039] Compressor 1, the compressor has an exhaust port 11 and an intake port 12;

[0040] Water cooler 2, which includes a water cooler inlet 21 and a water cooler outlet 22;

[0041] Expansion valve 3;

[0042] Refrigerator 4, which includes a refrigerator inlet 41 and a refrigerator outlet 42;

[0043] Gas-liquid separator 5, which includes separator inlet 51 and separator outlet 52;

[0044] The integrated flow channel plate side integrated module also includes:

[0045] The flow channel plate 6 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other. The compressor 1, water cooler 2, expansion valve 3, refrigerator 4, and gas-liquid separator 5 are attached to the first side or the second side of the flow channel plate 6.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the flow channel plate 6 forms independent first channel 61, second channel, third channel 62, and fourth channel 63. The exhaust port 11 is directly connected to the inlet of the water cooler 2; the water cooler outlet 21 is connected to the expansion valve 3 through the first channel 61; the expansion valve 3 is connected to the cooler inlet 41 through the second channel; the cooler outlet 42 is connected to the separator inlet 51 through the third channel 62; and the separator outlet 52 is connected to the suction port 12 through the fourth channel 63.

[0047] Considering that compressor 1 is relatively large and expansion valve 3 is relatively small, compressor 1 and expansion valve 3 are installed on the first surface of flow channel plate 6, while water cooler 2, refrigeration unit 4 and gas-liquid separator 5, which are similar in size, are installed on the second surface of flow channel plate 6 to balance the structural center of gravity.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water cooler 2 and the refrigerator 4 are arranged parallel to each other on the second surface of the flow channel plate 6. The water cooler 2 and the refrigerator 4 are positioned near the same edge of the flow channel plate. The gas-liquid separator 5 is located at the edge of the flow channel plate 6 opposite to the water cooler 2 and the refrigerator 4, and is arranged perpendicular to the direction in which the water cooler 2 and the refrigerator 4 are arranged parallel to each other. Figure 3 As shown, the water cooler 2 and the refrigerator 4 are roughly the same size and volume. The refrigerator 4 is located on the top side, and the water cooler 2 is located on the bottom side, both near the right edge of the flow channel plate 6. This allows the water cooler 2's piping to pass through the obstruction of the flow channel plate 6 and directly connect to the exhaust port 11 of the compressor 1 in some cases. The gas-liquid separator 5 is located on the left side to balance the center, resulting in higher integration and a smaller overall size.

[0049] With the above structure, taking refrigeration operation as an example, during operation, the compressor 1's suction port 12 draws in low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant from the gas-liquid separator 5 through the fourth channel 63. Then, after being compressed by the piston movement, the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant is discharged from the suction port 12 towards the water cooler inlet 21 of the water cooler 2. During the process of the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant flowing through the water cooler 2, it exchanges heat with the low-temperature liquid in the water cooler 2, is cooled by the low-temperature liquid in the water cooler 2, and is discharged from the water cooler outlet 22 to the first channel 61 of the flow channel plate 6. After flowing through the first channel 61 to the expansion valve 3, it is converted into low-temperature refrigerant. The refrigerant, under low temperature and pressure, enters the second channel of the flow channel plate 6 and then enters the refrigerant inlet 41 of the refrigerant 4. During the process of the low temperature and low pressure refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant 4, it exchanges heat with the high temperature liquid in the refrigerant 4, cooling the high temperature liquid in the refrigerant 4, and then discharges from the refrigerant outlet 42 to the third channel 62 of the flow channel plate 6. After passing through the third channel 62, it flows into the gas-liquid separator 5 through the separator inlet 51, causing the refrigerant to undergo gas-liquid separation. Part of the refrigerant is discharged into the fourth channel 63 through the separator outlet 52 and is finally sucked back into the suction port 12, realizing one complete cycle.

[0050] In the above structural design and use, the integration of the flow channel plate 6 forms an integrated mode centered on the compressor 1, which is easy to install and maintain. Specifically, in this modular system, a plate-shaped flow channel plate 6 is installed on one side of the larger compressor 1, so that the flow channel plate 6 serves as an integration of pipelines to connect devices such as the water cooler 2, the refrigerator 4, and the gas-liquid separator 5 in series. The independent channels in the flow channel plate 6 form a function that connects each unit individually, forming a simple flow channel system that is easy to plug and install.

[0051] Considering the large size and weight of the compressor 1, the flow channel plate 6 can be installed on one side of the compressor 1 with the compressor 1 as the center, and the compressor 1 can be placed at a position relatively close to the bottom of the flow channel plate 6. Then, according to the layout requirements, the water cooler 2, the refrigerator 4, the gas-liquid separator 5 and other devices can be installed and connected to the flow channel plate 6 one by one.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the expansion valve 3 is connected to the refrigerant inlet 41 through the second channel. The second channel itself can be shortened as much as possible so that the expansion valve 3 has no flow resistance after throttling the refrigerant. In other words, in this embodiment, the second channel can actually be regarded as a connecting pipe that runs through the flow channel plate 6 along the thickness direction of the vertical flow channel plate 6.

[0053] Instead of passing through the flow channel plate 6, the connection between the exhaust port 11 of the compressor 1 and the water cooler inlet 21 of the water cooler 2 is achieved by direct connection. The purpose of this is to reduce the impact of high pressure flow resistance when the exhaust port 11 is directly connected.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the water cooler 2 and the refrigerator 4 are located on the side near the compressor exhaust port 11, and the gas-liquid separator 5 is located on the side near the compressor suction port 12. That is to say, in addition to facilitating the direct connection between the water cooler 2 pipeline and the compressor 1 exhaust port 11 through the obstruction of the flow channel plate 6 in some cases, it also shortens the path between the gas-liquid separator 5 and the compressor 1 suction port 12, minimizing the pipeline length.

[0055] See also Figure 3 The bottom of the gas-liquid separator 5 is connected to the compressor 1 via the oil return pipe 53. Specifically, during operation, after some of the refrigerant is injected into the gas-liquid separator 5, some of the oil used to lubricate the compressor can settle to the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 5 and accumulate by gravity. Then, it flows down from the oil return pipe 53 at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 5 into the inner cavity of the piston movement of the compressor 1 to enter the next cycle.

[0056] In one embodiment, the flow channel plate 6 can be configured as a one-piece machined aluminum alloy, which has higher structural strength, better sealing performance, and slightly higher cost. In another embodiment, the flow channel plate 6 is configured as a left-right split assembly, meaning it can be arranged along... Figure 5 The cross-sectional direction shown divides it into two parts, and during installation, the left and right parts are spliced ​​together to form a whole. This method is low-cost and easy to manufacture.

[0057] In one embodiment, compressor 1 has a first end and a second end arranged opposite each other in a horizontal direction. A water cooler 2 and a refrigerator 4 are disposed on the side adjacent to the first end of compressor 1, and one side of the second end of compressor 1 is connected to a controller 7. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the water cooler 2 and the refrigeration unit 4 are located near the edge of the second side of the flow channel plate 6. The end faces of the first end of the water cooler 2 and the refrigeration unit 4 are almost flush with the end face of the compressor 1 to provide the controller 4 with the maximum installation space and to achieve the balance of the center of gravity of the first end and the second end in the horizontal direction.
