An integrated structure of thermal management module and gas-liquid separator

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of thermal management technology for new energy vehicles, specifically an integrated structure of a thermal management module and a gas-liquid separator. It includes a gas-liquid separator and an integrated module, with the integrated module comprising a flow channel plate. A connector assembly is provided between the gas-liquid separator and the flow channel plate, connecting them. A bridging bracket is provided around the gas-liquid separator, connecting it to the flow channel plate via the bridging bracket. This utility model achieves a compact arrangement of the gas-liquid separator by rigidly connecting it to the flow channel plate. Through the flow path of the agent-side flow channel plate and the contour design of the water-side flow channel plate, the gas-liquid separator is "embedded" as much as possible within the original space of the integrated module, reducing the additional space occupied by the gas-liquid separator. Furthermore, the bridging bracket strengthens the connection between the agent-side and water-side flow channel plates.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal management technology for new energy vehicles, and belongs to an integrated structure of thermal management module and gas-liquid separator. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, consumer demand for new energy vehicles is increasing, driving the rapid iteration and updating of new technologies in the field. Integrated and compact design has become the mainstream development direction in the new energy vehicle sector, and integrated modules are bringing integrated design into a new design paradigm.

[0003] In existing technologies, most designs for gas-liquid separators require their inlet and outlet to be connected to air conditioning pipes and other components. Due to the forming process of air conditioning pipes, a certain amount of space is required for their placement. This results in a certain distance between the gas-liquid separator and the integrated module flow channel plate to ensure that the air conditioning pipes can be connected, which obviously occupies too much space and is inconvenient for vehicle layout. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an integrated structure combining a thermal management module and a gas-liquid separator.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This application provides an integrated structure of a thermal management module and a gas-liquid separator, including a gas-liquid separator and an integrated module. The integrated module includes a flow channel plate, and a connector assembly is provided between the gas-liquid separator and the flow channel plate. The gas-liquid separator and the flow channel plate are connected through the connector assembly. A bridging bracket is provided around the gas-liquid separator, and the gas-liquid separator is connected to the flow channel plate through the bridging bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the connector assembly includes a male connector and a female connector, the male connector being disposed at the outlet of the gas-liquid separator, the female connector being disposed on the flow channel plate, and the male connector being inserted into the female connector for connection.

[0007] Preferably, the flow channel plate includes a water-side flow channel plate and an agent-side flow channel plate, which are connected to each other.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated structure of thermal management module and gas-liquid separator, which has the following advantages: This invention achieves a compact arrangement of the gas-liquid separator by rigidly connecting the gas-liquid separator and the flow channel plate. Through the flow path of the agent-side flow channel plate and the contour design of the water-side flow channel plate, the gas-liquid separator is "embedded" as much as possible within the original space of the integrated module, reducing the additional space occupied by the gas-liquid separator. Furthermore, a bridging bracket strengthens the connection between the agent-side and water-side flow channel plates.

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Furthermore, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concepts of the present utility model.

[0014] See Figures 1-3 This application provides an integrated structure of thermal management module and gas-liquid separator, including gas-liquid separator 1 and integrated module 2. The integrated module 2 includes flow channel plate 3. A connector assembly 4 is provided between gas-liquid separator 1 and flow channel plate 3. Gas-liquid separator 1 and flow channel plate 3 are connected through connector assembly 4. A bridging bracket 5 is provided around gas-liquid separator 1. Gas-liquid separator 1 is connected to flow channel plate 3 through bridging bracket 5.

[0015] See Figure 2Specifically, the connector assembly 4 includes a male connector 41 and a female connector 42. The male connector 41 is located at the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 1, and the female connector 42 is located on the flow channel plate 3. The male connector 41 is inserted into the female connector 42 for connection.

[0016] See Figure 2 Specifically, the flow channel plate 3 includes a water-side flow channel plate 31 and an agent-side flow channel plate 32, which are connected to each other. The water-side flow channel plate 31 adopts a contour-following design to match the shape of the gas-liquid separator 1, placing the gas-liquid separator 1 closer to the integrated module 2 body, achieving a more extreme integration, significantly reducing the overall space occupied, and facilitating vehicle layout.

[0017] See Figure 2 Specifically, the bridging bracket 5 includes a first annular clamp 51 and a second annular clamp 52, which are respectively connected to the gas-liquid separator 1. A first bridging plate 53 is fixedly connected to the side of the first annular clamp 51, and both ends of the first bridging plate 53 are respectively connected to the water-side flow channel plate 31 and the agent-side flow channel plate 32. A second bridging plate 54 is fixedly connected to the side of the second annular clamp 52, and the end of the second bridging plate 54 is connected to the agent-side flow channel plate 32. By setting up the bridging bracket 5, the installation strength of the gas-liquid separator 1 can be guaranteed, and the connection strength between the water-side flow channel plate 31 and the agent-side flow channel plate 32 can be strengthened by the connection method of the gas-liquid separator 1 and the bridging bracket 5.

[0018] See Figure 3 Specifically, the height of the gas-liquid separator 1 is included within the overall height of the integrated module 2, so as to avoid the gas-liquid separator 1 protruding and occupying extra space.

[0019] The working principle of this utility model: During assembly, the male connector 41 on the gas-liquid separator 1 is directly inserted into the female connector 42 on the flow channel plate 3, and then locked in place using bolts or other common fasteners. To ensure the installation strength of the gas-liquid separator 1, it is connected and fixed to the agent-side flow channel plate 32 and the water-side flow channel plate 31 respectively via the bridging bracket 5. This not only ensures the installation strength of the gas-liquid separator 1, but also strengthens the connection strength between the water-side flow channel plate 31 and the agent-side flow channel plate 32 through the connection method of the gas-liquid separator 1 and the bridging bracket 5.

[0020] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
