[0026] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a coolant flow channel plate is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the coolant flow channel plate in this embodiment has a main body 1, which is essentially formed by welding a first side plate 11 and a second side plate 12. The first side plate 11 has a plurality of first protrusions 111 arching away from the second side plate 12, and the second side plate 12 has a plurality of second protrusions 121 arching away from the first side plate 11. The first protrusions 111 and the second protrusions 121 correspond one-to-one, so that after the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are welded together, the main body 1 can integrate multiple flow channels (the flow channels are essentially composed of the first protrusions 111 and the corresponding second protrusions 121). In addition, the flow channels also have mounting ports so that components such as water pumps and water valves can be directly installed on the main body 1. The specific structure of the above-mentioned parts of the coolant flow channel plate according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the flow channel of the main body 1 includes a first flow channel 21, which is located at the first end in the length direction of the main body 1 and extends along the width direction of the main body 1. In this embodiment, the first flow channel 21 is formed into an L-shaped structure, which is configured to conform to the contour of the main body 1, that is, the vertical edge of the first flow channel 21 extends along the width direction of the main body 1. In addition, the flow channel includes a second flow channel 22, which is located at the second end in the width direction of the main body 1 and extends along the length direction of the main body 1. The first end of the second flow channel 22 in the extension direction is connected to the second end in the extension direction of the vertical edge of the first flow channel 21.

[0028] More specifically, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, the main body 1 also includes a third flow channel 23 formed in an F-shaped structure; the vertical side of the third flow channel 23 is located at the second end in the length direction of the main body 1 and extends along the width direction of the main body 1, and the second end of the extension direction of the second flow channel 22 is connected to the vertical side of the third flow channel 23. The above-mentioned mounting port includes a heater pump mounting port 31, which is located on the first side plate 11 and connected to the horizontal side of the third flow channel 23; thus, the heater pump can be fixedly installed at the heater pump mounting port 31 by means of sealing rings, bolts and other mounting parts, and correspondingly, bolt fixing parts 61 are provided around the heater pump mounting port 31. It should be noted that the specific components and assembly process required for the assembly of the heater pump are all conventional technical means in this field, and therefore will not be described in detail; the specifications and specific positions of the bolt fixing parts 61 and the heater pump mounting port 31 can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the flow channel also includes a fourth flow channel 24, a fifth flow channel 25, and a sixth flow channel 26 arranged sequentially along the length of the main body 1; the horizontal side of the third flow channel 23, the fourth flow channel 24, the fifth flow channel 25, the sixth flow channel 26, and the horizontal side of the first flow channel 21 are sequentially connected, thereby enabling the circulation of coolant to achieve its cooling effect. Furthermore, the aforementioned mounting port also includes a motor-water pump mounting port 32, which is located on the first side plate 11 and connected to the sixth flow channel 26. Thus, the motor-water pump can be fixedly installed at the motor-water pump mounting port 32 using sealing rings, bolts, and other mounting components. Correspondingly, bolt fixing parts 61 are provided around the motor-water pump mounting port 32. It should be noted that the specific components and assembly process required for assembling the motor-water pump are all conventional techniques in this field and will not be elaborated further; the specifications and specific locations of the bolt fixing parts 61 and the motor-water pump mounting port 32 can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0030] It should be noted that the specific specifications and shapes of the above-mentioned flow channels are not fixed and are determined according to the actual situation, as long as they meet the cooling needs of the vehicle.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the first side plate 11 is provided with a motor outlet 41, a condenser inlet 42, a condenser outlet 43, a battery water pump inlet 44, and a radiator outlet 45. Specifically, the motor outlet 41 is connected to the first flow channel 21 and is located at the first end of the extension direction of the first flow channel 21; the condenser inlet 42 is connected to the fifth flow channel 25; the condenser outlet 43 is located in the middle of the second flow channel 22; the battery water pump inlet 44 is located at the second end of the extension direction of the second flow channel 22; and the radiator outlet 45 is connected to the sixth flow channel 26. In addition, the second side plate 12 is provided with a PTC inlet 46 and a PTC outlet 47; the PTC inlet 46 is connected to the fourth flow channel 24, and the PTC outlet 47 is connected to the third flow channel 23; the second side plate 12 is also provided with a four-way water valve mounting port 33, which is located at the first end in the width direction of the main body 1 and is connected to the corresponding flow channel. The four-way electronic water valve is sealed and assembled with the main body 1 through the mounting port (similar to the above-mentioned warm air water pump and motor water pump, the specific assembly method of the four-way electronic water valve will not be described in detail, as it is a conventional technical means in this field).

[0032] In this way, components such as water pumps, water valves, motors, condensers, and radiators (not shown in the figure) can be connected through the above-mentioned flow channels, thereby realizing functions such as heat dissipation of the motor system, heating and cooling of the battery system, and heating of the crew compartment.

[0033] In other words, the coolant flow channel plate in this embodiment, through its integrated design (integrating the flow channel, water pump, water valve, and other components into one unit), effectively reduces the space required for assembling the main body 1, resulting in lighter weight, fewer parts, simpler assembly, and lower overall production and assembly costs. Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are integrally manufactured using injection molding, which helps improve the overall structural stability of the main body 1; and the main body 1 directly forms multiple flow channels, reducing the distance the coolant needs to flow and lowering the flow resistance of the coolant system. It should be noted that, as... Figures 3 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, when the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are welded, they are only welded along their outer contours. After welding, the sides of the two facing each other can fit tightly together, and the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 121 are correspondingly formed as coolant channels.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the water valve and water pump are sealed and assembled with the main body 1 through corresponding mounting ports. This structure and external mounting method greatly improve the internal leakage performance of the thermal management module assembly, reduce heat loss in the product module assembly system, and improve the efficiency of product functions. Furthermore, it can effectively reduce the system flow resistance of the product module assembly and reduce the pressure loss of the new energy vehicle system.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the main body 1 also has multiple hollow sections 51. These hollow sections 51 enable heat insulation between different flow channels, thereby reducing the heat conduction paths between high-temperature, medium-temperature, and low-temperature circuits and mitigating the heat mixing effects between different system circuits. Furthermore, throttling orifices 52 are provided in the first flow channel 21 and the third flow channel 23. In this embodiment, the throttling orifice 52 is designed with a diameter of 8mm, increasing the flow resistance of the coolant in the flow channel and thus reducing the flow rate. This reduces coolant heat transfer between circuits in different temperature ranges, improves the performance of the thermal management system, and reduces overall vehicle energy consumption.

[0036] Thus, the aforementioned hollowed-out portion 51 and throttling orifice 52 effectively reduce thermal interference between different system circuits, reduce heat loss in the thermal management system of the new energy vehicle, and improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and driving range of the new energy vehicle. It should be noted that the specific specifications of the hollowed-out portion 51 and throttling orifice 52 are not fixed, as long as the aforementioned technical effects are achieved.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are provided with a plurality of mounting points 62 for corresponding assembly with the vehicle.

[0038] According to the coolant flow channel plate of this utility model, coolant flows to the corresponding position through the coolant flow channel plate, that is, the coolant flow channel plate replaces the existing complex pipeline component mechanism. The main body 1 of the flow channel plate is welded from a first side plate 11 and a second side plate 12. The first side plate 11 forms a plurality of first protrusions 111 arched away from the second side plate 12, and the second side plate 12 forms a plurality of second protrusions 121 arched away from the first side plate 11. The first protrusions 111 and the second protrusions 121 correspond one-to-one, so that (after the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are welded) the main body 1 integrates multiple flow channels. The flow channels also form multiple mounting ports so that components such as water pumps and water valves can be directly installed on the main body 1. In this way, compared with the complex pipeline mechanism, this flow channel plate integrates the flow channels, water valves and water pumps through its own structure, effectively reducing the number of parts used, reducing the space required for installation and layout, and reducing the overall production cost.

[0039] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a cooling system is provided, the cooling system comprising a coolant flow channel plate as described above.

[0040] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including the coolant flow channel plate as described above.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this application.
