Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive thermal management technology, specifically a flow channel plate structure for automotive thermal management modules. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, traditional flow channel plate structures have significant shortcomings in heat dissipation efficiency. Some flow channel plates have a small contact surface, resulting in insufficient heat exchange with the internal fluid and difficulty in quickly dissipating heat generated by automotive components. This is especially problematic during prolonged high-load operation, easily leading to overheating of components and affecting normal vehicle operation. Furthermore, some flow channel plates have simple coolant supply structures, with coolant entering the flow channel directly in liquid form. This limited contact area with the internal space and related components results in a slow heat removal rate, failing to meet the requirements for efficient heat dissipation. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a flow channel plate structure for automotive thermal management modules to address the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flow channel plate structure for automotive thermal management modules to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A flow channel plate structure for an automotive thermal management module includes a base plate, an edge seal fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, a cover plate fixed to the upper surface of the edge seal, the base plate, the edge seal, and the cover plate being connected to form a sealed space, and a set of evenly distributed extension plates for expanding the contact surface fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with a set of reserved slots corresponding to the extension plate, which are used in conjunction with the extension plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper surface of the extension plate abuts against the cover plate, thereby dividing the internal space formed by the base plate, the edge banding, and the cover plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a set of first connecting plates is fixedly connected to one end of the base plate. The first connecting plate has a first connecting groove, and the first connecting groove and the extension plate make the internal space formed by the base plate, the edge banding and the cover plate interconnected.

[0008] Furthermore, a first sealing plate is provided on the upper surface of the first connecting plate, and one end of the first sealing plate is fixedly connected to the cover plate.

[0009] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe is provided through the first sealing plate, and the air inlet end of the exhaust pipe is placed in the first connecting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a set of second connecting plates is fixedly connected to the end of the base plate away from the first connecting plate. A second sealing plate is provided on the second connecting plate, and a second connecting groove is provided in the second sealing plate. The second connecting groove communicates with the internal space formed by the base plate, the sealing edge and the cover plate.

[0011] Furthermore, an air inlet pipe is provided through the lower surface of the second connecting plate, and an atomizing nozzle is fixedly connected to the output end of the air inlet pipe, with the atomizing nozzle positioned inside the second connecting groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In terms of improving heat dissipation efficiency, a set of evenly distributed extension plates fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate can effectively expand the contact surface. This design increases the contact area between the flow channel plate and the internal fluid, making heat exchange more sufficient, thereby significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the automotive thermal management module and ensuring that automotive components work in a suitable temperature environment. 2. In terms of structural stability and sealing, the connection between the base plate, edge sealing and cover plate forms a sealed space, which can effectively prevent internal fluid leakage and ensure the normal operation of the thermal management system. At the same time, the reserved slots on the base plate corresponding to the extension plate, when used in conjunction with the extension plate, not only provide a stable installation foundation for the extension plate and enhance the connection strength of the extension plate on the base plate, but also improve the overall stability of the entire flow channel plate structure. Furthermore, it allows the battery to better contact with the device, thereby efficiently dissipating heat into the internal space and facilitating rapid heat transfer and exchange. 3. Regarding the optimization of fluid flow path, the upper surface of the extension plate abuts against the cover plate, dividing the internal space formed by the bottom plate, the sealing edge, and the cover plate. This division allows the internal fluid to flow along a preset path, preventing the fluid from wandering randomly inside and ensuring the orderliness of the fluid flow. This is beneficial to improving the efficiency of heat exchange. Moreover, the first connecting groove is interconnected with the internal space, and the second connecting groove is also interconnected with the internal space, forming a complete fluid inlet and outlet channel, ensuring that the fluid can flow smoothly inside the flow channel plate. 4. An air inlet pipe is installed through the lower surface of the second connecting plate, and an atomizing nozzle fixedly connected to its output end is placed in the second connecting groove. The atomizing nozzle can effectively turn the coolant at low temperature into a mist, which greatly increases the contact area between the low temperature coolant and the air and components such as the extension plate in the internal space, thereby effectively increasing the rate at which heat is removed from the internal space and further improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0019] The cryogenic coolant enters through the air inlet pipe 13, is atomized by the atomizing nozzle 11, and then enters the second connecting groove 12. It then flows into the various internal channels divided by the extension plate 8. In the channels, the atomized coolant is in full contact with the extension plate 8, absorbing the heat transferred by the extension plate 8. At the same time, the heat from the battery is dissipated into the internal space through good contact with the device and is also absorbed by the atomized coolant.

In terms of flow path optimization, the upper surface of the extension plate 8 abuts against the cover plate 3, dividing the internal space formed by the bottom plate 1, the sealing edge 2, and the cover plate 3. This division allows the internal fluid to flow along a preset path, preventing the fluid from wandering randomly inside and ensuring the orderliness of the fluid flow, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of heat exchange. Moreover, the first connecting groove 9 is interconnected with the internal space, and the second connecting groove 12 is also interconnected with the internal space, forming a complete fluid inlet and outlet channel, ensuring that the fluid can flow smoothly inside the flow channel plate. The air inlet pipe 13 is installed through the lower surface of the second connecting plate 10, and the atomizing nozzle 11 fixedly connected to its output end is placed in the second connecting groove 12. The atomizing nozzle 11 can effectively turn the coolant at low temperature into a mist, which greatly increases the contact area between the low temperature coolant and the air and components such as the extension plate 8 in the internal space, thereby effectively increasing the rate at which heat is carried away from the internal space and further improving the heat exchange efficiency.
