Description

[0002] The automotive thermal management module is a crucial module for regulating the temperature of various core vehicle systems, such as the battery, electric drive, and passenger compartment. Especially with the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles, it needs to simultaneously meet the requirements of battery life, energy consumption control, and passenger comfort. Currently, in new energy vehicles, in order to improve the overall energy utilization rate of the vehicle and reduce the number of pipeline connections, the previously distributed refrigerant valves, sensors, heat exchangers, water pumps, and water valves are integrated into a single integrated thermal management module.

[0003] Publication No. CN 119189608 A discloses a thermal management integrated module and a new energy vehicle. The module features a heat insulation groove running through the refrigerant-side flow channel plate along its thickness direction. This groove is designed to prevent heat transfer between adjacent flow channels, thus addressing the issue of heat leakage. However, in this solution, since both flow channels are integrated within the refrigerant-side flow channel plate, heat transfer still occurs between adjacent flow channels even with the heat insulation groove, resulting in poor actual effectiveness in preventing heat leakage.

[0004] Therefore, an integrated thermal management module and a new energy vehicle are proposed to solve the technical problem of poor insulation effect of existing heat insulation channels on adjacent flow channels, so as to avoid heat transfer and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0025] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples.

In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0026] The technical solution will now be explained. In the existing solution, because both flow channels are integrated inside the refrigerant-side flow channel plate, even with insulation grooves, heat will still transfer between adjacent flow channels, resulting in poor effectiveness in preventing heat transfer. Therefore, if... Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an integrated thermal management module, including a first heat exchanger 1, a second heat exchanger 2, a first flow channel assembly 3 and a second flow channel assembly 4 disposed on a water-side flow channel assembly 100, and also includes a compressor 5 disposed on a vehicle. The first heat exchanger 1 is disposed opposite to the second heat exchanger 2 on one side of the width extension direction, and maintains a predetermined gap; The first flow channel assembly 3 is disposed on one side of the length extension direction of the first heat exchanger 1, one end of the first flow channel assembly 3 is connected to the first heat exchanger 1, and the other end is connected to the second heat exchanger 2. The second flow channel assembly 4 is disposed on the side of the second heat exchanger 2 away from the first flow channel assembly 3, and one end of the second flow channel assembly 4 is connected to the second heat exchanger 2. One end of the compressor 5 is connected to the first heat exchanger 1, and the other end is connected to the second heat exchanger 2, which is used to form a circulation loop for the cooling medium.

[0027] A first flow channel assembly 3 and a second flow channel assembly 4 are respectively provided at both ends of the length direction of the first heat exchanger 1 and the second heat exchanger 2, so that the first flow channel assembly 3 and the second flow channel assembly 4 are set separately and the distance between them is large, so that there is no heat transfer between them and the energy utilization rate is improved.

[0028] Specifically, the cooling medium is converted into a high-temperature and high-pressure medium under the action of the compressor 5, and flows from the first heat exchanger 1 to the first flow channel assembly 3. The first heat exchanger 1 and the first flow channel assembly 3 are mainly high-temperature areas. After the high-temperature and high-pressure medium passes through the first flow channel assembly 3, it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure medium and flows into the second heat exchanger 2. It then flows back to the compressor 5 through the second flow channel assembly 4. The second heat exchanger 2 and the second flow channel assembly 4 are mainly low-temperature areas. Therefore, the first flow channel assembly 3 and the second flow channel assembly 4 are areas of different temperatures and are far apart, which can effectively avoid heat transfer.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that in the prior art CN 119189608 A, the refrigerant side flow channel plate is integrally formed and has many internal flow channels, which makes it difficult to process and has a high production cost. In this application, the first flow channel component 3 and the second flow channel component 4 are set separately, with fewer internal flow channels, making the processing and manufacturing more difficult and the corresponding production cost lower.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first flow channel component 3 includes: The first flow channel unit 31 and the first agent-side valve 32 are provided on the first flow channel unit 31. The first flow channel unit 31 is provided with a first connecting port 301, a second connecting port 302 and a third connecting port 303 that are interconnected. The first connecting port 301 is connected to the first heat exchanger 1, the second connecting port 302 is connected to the first agent-side valve 32 and the third connecting port 303 is connected to the second heat exchanger 2. The cooling medium in the first heat exchanger 1 flows into the second heat exchanger 2 after being regulated by the first agent-side valve 32.

[0031] The high-temperature and high-pressure medium in the first heat exchanger 1 flows into the first agent-side valve 32 through the first connecting port 301. After throttling adjustment, it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure medium and is input into the second heat exchanger 2 through the third connecting port 303. Finally, it flows back to the compressor 5 through the second flow channel assembly 4.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first flow channel assembly 3 also includes an outward output flow channel, and the first flow channel assembly 3 also includes a second agent-side valve 33; The first flow channel unit 31 is also provided with a fourth connecting port 304 and a fifth connecting port 305. The second agent side valve 33 is provided in the fourth connecting port 304 and is used to regulate the flow rate of the cooling medium in the fifth connecting port 305. The fifth connecting port 305 is used to output the cooling medium to the outside.

[0033] When there is a high-temperature and high-pressure medium inside the first flow channel unit 31, the second agent side valve 33 can output part of the high-temperature and high-pressure medium to the outside, and can provide heat to other locations through the high-temperature and high-pressure medium.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to stably install the first flow channel assembly 3, the first flow channel assembly 3 also includes several first connectors 34: The first flow channel unit 31 is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 306, the first heat exchanger 1 is provided with a second connecting hole 101 corresponding to the first connecting hole 306, and the second heat exchanger 2 is provided with a third connecting hole 201 corresponding to the first connecting hole 306. A portion of the plurality of first connecting members 34 connects the first flow channel unit 31 to the first heat exchanger 1 through the second connecting hole 101 and the first connecting hole 306; another portion of the plurality of first connecting members 34 connects the first flow channel unit 31 to the second heat exchanger 2 through the third connecting hole 201, thereby realizing that the first flow channel unit 31 is simultaneously connected to the first heat exchanger 1 and the second heat exchanger 2.

[0035] In the first flow channel unit 31, part is a high-temperature region and part is a low-temperature region. The first flow channel unit 31 can be fixed on the first heat exchanger 1 and the second heat exchanger 2 at the same time, and there will be no heat transfer phenomenon.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second flow channel component 4 includes: The second flow channel unit 41 and the gas-liquid separator 42 are provided on the second flow channel unit 41. The second flow channel unit 41 is provided with a sixth connecting port 401, a seventh connecting port 402 and an eighth connecting port 403 in sequence. The sixth connecting port 401 is connected to the second heat exchanger 2, the seventh connecting port 402 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 42 and the eighth connecting port 403 is connected to the compressor 5.

[0037] The low-temperature, low-pressure medium in the second heat exchanger 2 enters the second flow channel unit 41 through the sixth connection port 401, and flows back to the compressor 5 after passing through the gas-liquid separator 42, thus realizing the return of the cooling medium.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to stably fix the second flow channel assembly 4, the second flow channel assembly 4 includes a second connector 43; The second flow channel unit 41 is provided with a fifth connection hole 404, and the second heat exchanger 2 is provided with a fourth connection hole 202 corresponding to the fifth connection hole 404. The second connector 43 will be inserted into the fourth connection hole 202 and the fifth connection hole 404 in sequence, and connect the second flow channel unit 41 and the second heat exchanger 2.

[0039] The second connector 43 connects the second flow channel unit 41 to the second heat exchanger 2, ensuring the stability of the second flow channel unit 41.

[0040] Specifically, both the first connector 34 and the second connector 43 are configured as bolts. The use of bolts allows the first flow channel unit 31 to be detachably connected to the first heat exchanger 1 and the second heat exchanger 2, and the second flow channel unit 41 to be detachably connected to the second heat exchanger 2.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in the second flow channel unit 41, the external cooling medium can also be returned to the first heat exchanger 1. The integrated thermal management module also includes a connecting pipe 6, one end of which is connected to the first flow channel unit 31 and the other end is connected to the second flow channel unit 41, and is located on the side adjacent to the first heat exchanger 1 and the second heat exchanger 2.

[0042] Specifically, an external heat exchanger is connected to the second flow channel unit 41. The low-temperature and low-pressure medium in the heat exchanger is input into the second flow channel unit 41 and returned to the first flow channel unit 31 through the connecting pipe 6.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the first heat exchanger 1 has the function of outputting heat to the outside. The first heat exchanger 1 has a first conducting flow channel and a heating flow channel. The first conducting flow channel and the heating flow channel are in contact and exchange heat with each other. The first conducting flow channel is connected to the first flow channel unit 31 and the compressor 5. The heating flow channel is used to output heat to the outside.

[0044] By outputting heat to the outside through the heating channel, the heat in the first heat exchanger 1 can be delivered to the places on the car that need heat, thus meeting the heat demand of other parts of the car.

[0045] The second heat exchanger 2 has the function of cooling the outside. The second heat exchanger 2 has a second conductive flow channel and a cooling flow channel. The second conductive flow channel and the cooling flow channel are in contact and exchange heat with each other. The second conductive flow channel is connected to the first flow channel unit 31 and the second flow channel unit 41.

[0046] Similarly, by outputting cooling capacity to the outside through the cooling channels, the areas of the car that need cooling can be cooled to meet the temperature requirements.

[0047] like Figure 5 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the integrated thermal management module separated from the water-side flow channel assembly 100; as shown... Figure 6 The diagram shows the structure of the integrated thermal management module installed on the water-side flow channel assembly 100, and illustrates the relative positions of the two after installation.

[0048] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a new energy vehicle equipped with the aforementioned integrated thermal management module. This new energy vehicle, through the integrated thermal management module, can reduce heat transfer and improve energy utilization.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
