As a key component of new energy vehicles, the thermal management system plays a crucial role in ensuring vehicle performance, extending battery life, and improving ride comfort. The compressor and electric heater are the main components of the thermal management system and are typically controlled by the same controller. However, during operation, the controller generates a significant amount of heat, increasing the power consumption of the entire thermal management system. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a compressor assembly, a thermal management system, and an automobile, with the aim of reducing the power consumption of the thermal management system.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a compressor assembly, which includes:

[0005] The compressor body includes a motor.

[0006] A heat exchange structure is provided at one end of the compressor body and cooperates with the compressor body to form an electronic control cavity. The heat exchange structure is provided with a heat exchange channel and a first inlet and a first outlet communicating with the heat exchange channel.

[0007] A heater is disposed in the heat exchange structure and has a heating channel, a second inlet and a second outlet communicating with the heating channel, the second inlet communicating with the first outlet; and

[0008] A control component is disposed in the electrical control cavity and is fitted to the heat exchange structure. The control component is electrically connected to the heater and the motor of the compressor body.

[0009] In one embodiment, the heat exchange structure further includes a liquid outlet channel, a third inlet and a third outlet connected to the liquid outlet channel, wherein the third inlet is connected to the second outlet.

[0010] In one embodiment, the heat exchange channel includes a plurality of bends connected in sequence; and / or, the liquid outlet channel includes a straight section.

[0011] In one embodiment, one of the compressor body and the heat exchange structure forms the electronic control cavity, the electronic control cavity having an opening, and the other of the compressor body and the heat exchange structure covering the opening.

[0012] In one embodiment, the heat exchange structure includes a heat exchange base plate and a heat exchange end cover connected to the heat exchange base plate. The heat exchange base plate and the compressor body cooperate to form the electrical control cavity. The heat exchange channel, the first inlet and the first outlet are disposed on the heat exchange end cover. The heat exchange base plate and the heat exchange end cover cooperate to form the heat exchange channel. The control component is disposed on the surface of the heat exchange base plate facing the compressor body.

[0013] In one embodiment, the heater includes a housing connected to the heat exchange structure and an electromagnetic heating device disposed inside the housing, the second inlet and the second outlet being disposed in the housing, and the electromagnetic heating device having the heating channel.

[0014] In one embodiment, the electromagnetic heating device includes:

[0015] The heating element is located inside the housing;

[0016] An insulating sleeve is fitted over the outside of the heating element, and the insulating sleeve and the heating element are spaced apart to form the heating channel; and

[0017] An electromagnetic coil is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the insulating sleeve and is electrically connected to the control component.

[0018] In one embodiment, the housing includes a housing body and a first heating end cap and a second heating end cap disposed at opposite ends of the housing body.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first heating end cap, the second heating end cap, and the inner surface of the cover are provided with a shielding coating.

[0020] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a thermal management system, which includes the compressor assembly described above.

[0021] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automobile that includes the thermal management system described above.

[0022] The technical solution of this application, through a heat exchange structure attached to the control component, can exchange heat with the control component, absorbing the heat generated by the control component during operation, thereby dissipating heat and cooling the control component, ensuring that the control component operates in a suitable temperature environment, and reducing the power consumption of the entire system. Furthermore, the heat exchange medium can flow sequentially along the first inlet, heat exchange channel, first outlet, second inlet, heating channel, and second outlet. The heat absorbed by the heat exchange structure can pre-heat the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange channel before it enters the heating channel for further heating. Since the heat exchange medium entering the heating channel has already been pre-heated by the heat from the control component, the heating efficiency of the heat exchange medium in the heating channel is improved, the power consumption of the heater is reduced, and thus the power consumption of the entire thermal management system is reduced. In other words, by integrating the heat exchange structure and the heater on the compressor body, both heat dissipation of the control component and improvement of the heater's heating efficiency are achieved, resulting in an overall reduction in the power consumption of the thermal management system. Furthermore, by integrating the heater and heat exchange structure onto the compressor body, the compressor body, heater, and heat exchange structure are integrated, reducing additional connectors and piping. This eliminates the need for separate components, making the entire system more compact and space-efficient, freeing up more installation space for other vehicle-mounted equipment, significantly improving space utilization, and contributing to optimized vehicle layout. Simultaneously, placing the control components within the electronic control chamber allows for integrated control of the compressor body and the electromagnetic induction heater, simplifying the control system, reducing electrical connection complexity, and improving system reliability and stability.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure).

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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 consumes considerable space, resulting in low vehicle space utilization and increased costs.

[0039] Moreover, the compressor and electric heater are usually controlled by the same controller, which means that the two high-power devices, the compressor and the electric heater, are centrally controlled, resulting in serious overheating problems in the controller and large power loss.

[0040] In view of this, the present invention provides a compressor assembly, a thermal management system, and an automobile. By integrating the heat exchange structure and heater onto the compressor body, heat dissipation of the control components is achieved, and the heating efficiency of the heater is improved, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the thermal management system. Furthermore, by integrating the heater and heat exchange structure onto the compressor body, the compressor body, heater, and heat exchange structure are integrated, reducing additional connecting parts and pipes, eliminating the need for separate components to occupy significant space, and making the entire system more compact and space-saving.

[0041] To better understand the above technical solution, the following detailed explanation is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment proposes a compressor assembly, the compressor assembly comprising:

[0043] The compressor body 100 is used to compress and transport refrigerant. The compressor body 100 can adopt a commonly used design structure. This application embodiment does not limit it. The compressor body 100 has a motor 120.

[0044] A heat exchange structure 200 is disposed at one end of the compressor body 100 and cooperates with the compressor body 100 to form an electrical control cavity 110. The heat exchange structure 200 has a heat exchange channel 210 and a first inlet 211 and a first outlet 212 communicating with the heat exchange channel 210. Specifically, the heat exchange structure 200 is disposed at one end of the compressor body 100 and can be integrally disposed or separately assembled and fixed, which is not limited here. The heat exchange structure 200 cooperates with the compressor body 100 to form an electrical control cavity 110, which can be used to install control components 400 and other devices. The heat exchange structure 200 has a communicating first inlet 211, a first outlet 212 and a heat exchange channel 210. The heat exchange medium can flow into the heat exchange channel 210 from the first inlet 211, be heated by the heat exchange channel 210, and then flow out from the first outlet 212.

[0045] A heater 300 is disposed in the heat exchange structure 200 and has a heating channel 310, a second inlet 311 and a second outlet 312 communicating with the heating channel 310. The second inlet 311 is connected to the first outlet 212. It can be understood that the heater 300 is used to heat the heat exchange medium. That is, the heat exchange medium, which has undergone preliminary heating and flows out from the first outlet 212, flows into the heating channel 310 through the second inlet 311. After being reheated in the heating channel 310, it flows out from the second outlet 312, exchanges heat with the refrigerant, and then flows to the load in the thermal management system, realizing the functions of cooling, heating, and heat dissipation; and

[0046] A control component 400 is disposed in the electrical control cavity 110 and is fitted to the heat exchange structure 200. The control component 400 is electrically connected to the heater 300 and the motor 120 of the compressor body 100. Thus, the operation of both the heater 300 and the compressor body 100 can be controlled simultaneously by a single control component 400, making the control system simpler and more convenient to operate. Furthermore, the heat exchange structure 200, being fitted to the control component 400, can exchange heat with the control component 400, absorbing the heat emitted by the control component 400, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the control component 400 and initial heating of the heat exchange medium.

[0047] In this embodiment, the heat exchange structure 200, which is attached to the control component 400, can exchange heat with the control component 400, absorbing the heat generated by the control component 400 during operation. This dissipates heat and cools the control component 400, ensuring it operates in a suitable temperature environment and reducing the overall system power consumption. Furthermore, the heat exchange medium flows sequentially along the first inlet 211, heat exchange channel 210, first outlet 212, second inlet 311, heating channel 310, and second outlet 312. The heat absorbed by the heat exchange structure 200 preheats the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange channel 210 before it enters the heating channel 310 for further heating. Since the heat exchange medium entering the heating channel 310 has already been preheated by the heat from the control component 400 in the heat exchange channel 210, the heating efficiency of the heat exchange medium in the heating channel 310 is improved, reducing the power consumption of the heater 300 and thus lowering the overall power consumption of the thermal management system. In other words, by integrating the heat exchange structure 200 and the heater 300 onto the compressor body 100, both heat dissipation of the control component 400 and heating efficiency of the heater 300 are achieved, thus reducing the overall power consumption of the thermal management system. Furthermore, by integrating the heater 300 and heat exchange structure 200 onto the compressor body 100, the compressor body 100, heater 300, and heat exchange structure 200 are integrated, reducing additional connectors and piping. This eliminates the need for separate components occupying significant space, making the entire system more compact and efficient, providing more installation space for other vehicle-mounted equipment, significantly improving space utilization, and contributing to optimizing the overall vehicle layout. Simultaneously, by placing the control component 400 within the electrical control cavity 110, integrated control of the compressor body 100 and the electromagnetic induction heater 300 is achieved, simplifying the control system, reducing the complexity of electrical connections, and improving system reliability and stability.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3The heat exchange structure 200 also includes a liquid outlet channel 220, and a third inlet 222 and a third outlet 221 connected to the liquid outlet channel 220. The third inlet 222 is connected to the second outlet 312. Thus, by adding the liquid outlet channel 220 to the heat exchange structure 200, the inflow and outflow of the heat exchange medium are integrated into the heat exchange structure 200, resulting in a more compact structure, further reducing the need for piping and facilitating maintenance. Optionally, the third outlet 221 and the first inlet 211 are located on the same side of the heat exchange structure 200. This allows for piping layout that only occupies space on one side of the heat exchange structure 200, resulting in a more compact piping layout and reduced space usage. Furthermore, having the first inlet 211 and the third outlet 221 on the same side facilitates pipe connection and maintenance by operators, improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, the heat exchange channel 210 includes multiple bends connected in sequence. This allows for the arrangement of more heat exchange pipes within a limited space, saving equipment space and improving space utilization. Simultaneously, it provides a longer flow path for the heat exchange medium, increasing the surface area of ​​contact between the heat exchange medium and the pipe wall, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the heat exchange medium fluid forms turbulence when turning, and through multiple turns, it effectively promotes mixing of the heat exchange medium, reduces temperature gradients, and makes the temperature distribution of the heat exchange medium more uniform, which is beneficial for improving the heat exchange effect.

[0050] And / or, the liquid outlet channel 220 includes a straight pipe section, which can reduce turbulence of the heat exchange medium during flow, reduce vibration and noise in the system, reduce the resistance encountered by the heat exchange medium during flow, help the heat exchange medium to flow smoothly, reduce energy loss, and improve the heat exchange efficiency with the refrigerant.

[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, one of the compressor body 100 and the heat exchange structure 200 forms the electrical control cavity 110. The electrical control cavity 110 has an opening, and the other of the compressor body 100 and the heat exchange structure 200 covers the opening. It can be understood that the electrical control cavity 110 is located at the end of the compressor body 100, with the opening facing away from the compressor body 100. The heat exchange structure 200 is located at the opening of the electrical control cavity 110 and is adapted to the outer contour of the opening, thus sealing the opening of the electrical control cavity 110 and closing it. In other words, the heat exchange structure 200 replaces the original cover of the compressor's electrical control box. That is, the heat exchange structure 200 is integrated with the electrical control cavity 110 of the compressor body 100, utilizing the space of the original electrical control box cover to integrate the heat exchange structure 200, which effectively reduces space occupation, decreases the size of the entire thermal management system, and helps optimize the overall layout of the vehicle. Optionally, the heat exchange structure 200 can be welded to the opening of the compressor body 100, or it can be fixed with bolts; this is not limited here. Of course, the electrical control cavity 110 can also be set in the heat exchange structure 200, with the opening facing away from the heat exchange structure 200, and the compressor body 100 set at the opening of the electrical control cavity 110; this will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The heat exchange structure 200 includes a heat exchange base plate 230 and a heat exchange end cover 240 connected to the heat exchange base plate 230. The heat exchange base plate 230 and the compressor body 100 cooperate to form the electrical control cavity 110. The heat exchange channel 210, the first inlet 211 and the first outlet 212 are disposed on the heat exchange end cover 240. The heat exchange base plate 230 and the heat exchange end cover 240 cooperate to form the heat exchange channel 210. The control component 400 is disposed on the surface of the heat exchange base plate 230 facing the compressor body 100.

[0053] Specifically, the heat exchange base plate 230, in conjunction with the compressor body 100, seals the electrical control cavity 110, effectively preventing external dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the electrical control cavity 110, protecting the internal electrical components, and thus ensuring stable system operation and a longer service life. Optionally, the heat exchange base plate 230 can be bolted to the compressor body 100, improving the ease of disassembly and assembly, and facilitating the maintenance of electrical components such as the control component 400 within the electrical control cavity 110. Alternatively, the heat exchange base plate 230 can be welded to the compressor body 100, effectively improving sealing and connection reliability. Simultaneously, the heat exchange base plate 230 provides an installation position for the control component 400, facilitating its installation. Furthermore, mounting the control component 400 on the heat exchange base plate 230 allows it to be closer and more tightly fitted to the heat exchange channel 210, improving heat exchange efficiency. Alternatively, a heat exchange groove can be made in the heat exchange end cover 240, and then the heat exchange base plate 230 can be attached to the heat exchange end cover 240 to form a heat exchange channel 210. The structure is relatively simple, easy to manufacture, and low in cost. Optionally, the heat exchange end cover 240 and the heat exchange base plate 230 can be welded together, which provides good sealing and prevents leakage. Of course, the heat exchange end cover 240 and the heat exchange base plate 230 can also be sealed together using bolts, sealing rings, etc., which is not limited here.

[0054] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The heater 300 includes a housing 320 connected to the heat exchange structure 200, and an electromagnetic heating device 330 disposed inside the housing 320. A second inlet 311 and a second outlet 312 are located within the housing 320, and the electromagnetic heating device 330 has a heating channel 310. Specifically, by placing the electromagnetic heating device 330 inside the housing 320, the overall structure of the heater 300 is simple and compact, easy to install and integrate. Furthermore, the housing 320 can also shield the magnetic field, reducing electromagnetic interference to other power devices. In addition, the sealed structure of the housing 320 effectively prevents external dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the interior of the heater 300, effectively protecting the electromagnetic induction heating device, thereby ensuring stable system operation and a longer service life. It is understood that the housing 320 simultaneously achieves sealing and shielding, further reducing structural complexity. In one embodiment, the housing 320 is integrally formed with the heat exchange structure 200, thus improving structural strength. Of course, in other embodiments, the housing 320 can also be bolted to the heat exchange structure 200, which can improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly. In another embodiment, the inner wall surface of the housing 320 is provided with a shielding coating, which can further reduce the electromagnetic interference of the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating device 330 on other electronic components.

[0055] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2The electromagnetic heating device 330 includes:

[0056] The heating element 331 is disposed within the housing 320. It is understood that the heating element 331 extends from the second inlet 311 towards the second outlet 312, i.e., the heating element 331 is vertically positioned between the second inlet 311 and the second outlet 312. The heating element 331 is made of a magnetically, electrically, and thermally conductive material, such as stainless steel, capable of cutting magnetic field lines to generate heat, thereby directly heating the heat exchange medium. In one embodiment, the heating element 331 is insulated from the housing 320; an insulating component can be provided at the end of the heating element 331 before it is fixed to the housing 320.

[0057] An insulating sleeve 332 is fitted over the outside of the heating element 331. The insulating sleeve 332 and the heating element 331 are spaced apart to form the heating channel 310, which electrically isolates the heating element 331 and the electromagnetic coil 333, thus providing electrical insulation.

[0058] An electromagnetic coil 333 is wound around the outer periphery of the insulating sleeve 332 and electrically connected to the control component 400. The electromagnetic coil 333 can generate a magnetic field when energized, which, in conjunction with the heating element 331, generates heat through electromagnetic induction. The heat generated on the heating element 331 can directly heat the heat exchange medium flowing through the heating channel 310. Furthermore, the generated heat can be evenly distributed on the heating element 331, improving heating uniformity and preventing localized overheating.

[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The housing 320 includes a housing 321 and a first heating end cap 322 and a second heating end cap 323 disposed at opposite ends of the housing 321. The electromagnetic heating device 330 is disposed on the housing 321, with a second inlet 311 disposed on the first heating end cap 322 and a second outlet 312 disposed on the second heating end cap 323. It is understood that the housing 321 has opposite ends along its length, with one end having the first heating end cap 322 and the other end having the second heating end cap 323. The second inlet 311 being disposed on the first heating end cap 322 and the second outlet 312 being disposed on the second heating end cap 323 increases the effective heating path of the heat exchange medium and improves the heating effect.

[0060] Optionally, refer to Figure 2The first heating end cap 322 and the second heating end cap 323 each have a positioning ring 340 on their inner surfaces facing each other. The heating element 331 is engaged with the positioning ring 340, thus facilitating the fixation of the heating element 331. In another embodiment, the inner wall surface of the cover 321 has a step 350, and the step 350 has a positioning groove. The end of the insulating sleeve 332 is embedded in the positioning groove. This facilitates the fixation of the insulating sleeve 332. In one embodiment, the insulating sleeve 332 and the positioning groove are interference-fitted, which can further improve the reliability of the connection and reduce the displacement of the insulating sleeve 332 caused by vibration or external impact. In another embodiment, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the insulating sleeve 332 and the positioning groove. The sealing ring can improve the sealing performance of the insulating sleeve 332 and the positioning groove and prevent leakage.

[0061] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner surfaces of the first heating end cap 322, the second heating end cap 323, and the cover 321 are provided with a shielding coating. This effectively shields the electromagnetic coil 333 from generating electromagnetic induction externally. Optionally, the shielding coating is a magnetic coating.

[0062] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a thermal management system, which includes the compressor assembly described above. Specifically, the specific structure of the compressor assembly is as described in the above embodiments. Since this thermal management system adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0063] The thermal management system also includes a water parameter sensor, which can be used to collect temperature, flow rate, flow signals, etc. It 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 400. This allows the system to automatically adjust the working state of the heater 300 based on the real-time monitoring data to adapt to different working requirements and achieve automated control.

[0064] Reference Figure 5 The thermal management system further includes:

[0065] A heat exchanger is connected to the compressor body 100, and the heat exchanger includes, but is not limited to, an evaporator and a condenser;

[0066] Control valve, connected to heater 300; and

[0067] The load, connected to the control valve, allows the heated heat exchange medium to exchange heat with the heat exchanger before entering the load via the control valve. The load can be a heater core, battery, outdoor low-temperature radiator, water-cooled evaporator, etc. The heater 300 is connected to a water pump and also connected to the control valve, which in turn connects to the load. The heat exchange medium, driven by the water pump, flows through the heater 300, exchanges heat with the refrigerant, and is then delivered to the corresponding load under the control of the control valve. Optionally, the control valve is a multi-port valve, with multiple loads connected to it. The multi-port valve has multiple ports, each capable of connecting to a load. The heat exchange medium can be distributed to different loads after being allocated by the multi-port valve, thus simultaneously meeting the heat exchange needs of multiple loads. This enables the system to perform cooling, heating, and heat dissipation functions, further enhancing the functional versatility of the thermal management system.
