[0004] However, in the above configuration, the direct insertion structure between the external connector and the connector body is unstable and easily affected by external forces, which may cause the connector body to detach from the controller or even damage the connector body or the external connector.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0043] In the description of the embodiments of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise specified precisely.

[0044] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0045] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0046] As mentioned in the background section, with rapid economic development and increasing environmental awareness, new energy electric vehicles are rapidly developing and becoming more widespread. Currently, thermal management control components are crucial for ensuring the performance of the three core electrical systems (battery, motor, and electronic control system) in new energy electric vehicles and improving overall vehicle energy efficiency. This places higher demands on the quality and functionality of thermal management control components.

[0047] In related technologies, the thermal management control system, composed of thermal management control components, is an essential system among many vehicle systems. The thermal management control components include key components such as a controller housing, controller, compressor, water pump, and heater. The controller is housed within the controller housing, which has a connection port. An external connector needs to pass through this port and plug into the connector body on the controller to achieve an electrical connection between the external connector and the connector body. For example, the controller has pin headers, and the external connector is a female connector. The female connector needs to plug into the pin headers to achieve an electrical connection between the controller and the external connector, ensuring the normal connection of the power supply line or control logic line.

[0048] However, in the above configuration, the direct insertion structure between the external connector and the connector body is unstable and easily affected by external forces, which may cause the connector body to detach from the controller or even damage the connector body or the external connector.

[0049] For example, pin headers are usually soldered onto the controller's circuit board. The pin header pins are small, and the solder joints are also relatively small. After the busbar and pin header are connected, if the controller is subjected to vibration or shaking, the busbar and pin header will also be subjected to external force and shake. This can easily cause the pin header on the controller to suffer fatigue damage under alternating bending stress, or the solder joints of the pin header pins may detach from the controller's circuit board, resulting in damage to the connector body or external connector.

[0050] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a thermal management control component and a vehicle. In this technical solution, the thermal management control component includes a controller housing and a controller. The controller housing has a receiving cavity and a connection port communicating with the receiving cavity. A fixing member integrally formed with the controller housing is provided on the controller housing, and the fixing member is arranged around the connection port. The controller is disposed within the receiving cavity, and a connector body is provided on the controller, which passes through the connection port. When the controller is connected to an external connector, the fixing member can be fixed to the external connector, and the connector body can be electrically connected to the external connector. By integrally forming the fixing member with the controller housing and circling the connection port, a full-angle enveloping protection and support for the external connector is formed. Compared to the traditional simple docking method that relies solely on insertion and extraction force, the above-mentioned arrangement constructs a dual protection mechanism from a mechanical structure perspective. Specifically, the fixing member provides radial constraint force to prevent lateral displacement of the external connector or connector body; simultaneously, the fixing member provides support force to the external connector, resisting external forces, absorbing vibration or external force energy, and preventing damage to the connector body or external connector from external forces.

[0051] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 9 This diagram illustrates a simplified schematic of the thermal management control assembly and various components within the vehicle. The specific structures of the thermal management control assembly and other components within the vehicle are not limited to these examples. Figures 1 to 9 of examples.

[0052] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the illustration, a thermal management control component provided in this application includes a compressor housing 10, a controller housing 100, and a controller 200. The compressor housing 10 is prior art within this technical field, and this application does not limit the specific structure of the compressor housing 10. The compressor may include the compressor housing 10, or the compressor and compressor housing 10 may be an integral part of each other.

[0054] The housing 100 includes a first housing 110 and a second housing 120 connected to each other. A receiving cavity 101 is formed between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. The compressor housing 10 is integrally formed and connected to the first housing 110. In conventional methods, the compressor housing 10 and the controller housing 100 need to be connected by bolts and a sealing ring is required. However, in this solution, the first housing 110 is integrally formed with the compressor housing 10. This eliminates redundant bolts and sealing rings, reducing assembly complexity.

[0055] The first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are made of metal. Traditional split-type structures suffer from contact thermal resistance and potential gap thermal resistance due to bolted connections and sealing rings. This is because, in a split-type structure, thermally conductive adhesive needs to be filled between the compressor housing 10 and the controller 200. However, the thermal conductivity of this adhesive is lower than that of metal. Furthermore, split assembly can lead to assembly gaps due to tolerances in the components, further contributing to low thermal conductivity. The aforementioned method, through integrated molding, eliminates this thermal resistance and significantly improves thermal conductivity.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a connection port 102, which is connected to the receiving cavity 101; the controller housing 100 is provided with a fixing member 300 integrally formed with the controller housing 100, which is arranged around the connection port 102.

[0057] The controller 200 is disposed within the receiving cavity 101, and a connector body 201 is disposed on the controller 200, which passes through the connection port 102. When the controller 200 is connected to the external connector 80, the fixing member 300 can be fixed to the external connector 80, and the connector body 201 can be electrically connected to the external connector 80.

[0058] In the above configuration, by setting a fastener 300 on the controller housing 100, the fastener 300 is integrally formed with the controller housing 100 and surrounds the connection port 102, forming a full-angle wrap-around protection and support for the external connector 80.

[0059] For example, the connector body 201 can be a pin header, and the external connector 80 can be a female connector, which is inserted into the pin header. The female connector can be inserted into the fixing member 300, which can provide a wrap-around protection for the female connector and provide a certain support.

[0060] Compared to the traditional simple docking method that relies solely on insertion and extraction force, the above-mentioned setup constructs a dual protection mechanism at the mechanical structure level. Specifically, by setting the fixing component 300, radial constraint force is provided to prevent lateral displacement of the external connector 80 or the connector body 201. At the same time, the fixing component 300 provides support force to the external connector 80 to resist external forces, absorb vibration or external force energy, and prevent the connector body 201 or the external connector 80 from being damaged by external forces, thereby enhancing the resistance to vibration and impact.

[0061] In addition, the fastener 300 is integrally formed with the controller housing 100, which ensures high dimensional and positional tolerance accuracy (such as coaxiality and perpendicularity), effectively eliminates the risk of poor contact caused by assembly errors, and ensures that the external connector 80 and the connector body 201 are always in the best connection position.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the fastener 300 and the controller housing 100 are integrally cast and can both be made of metal, which simplifies the manufacturing process, avoids the cumulative tolerance problem caused by the assembly of multiple parts, and improves the yield rate.

[0063] The fastener 300 and the controller housing 100 are integrally molded, allowing the entire part to be formed in a single mold in one go. Compared to traditional step-by-step manufacturing processes, integral molding significantly reduces production costs and enables faster production speeds, allowing for the production of various parts, products, and tools in a very short time. Traditional processing methods require the preparation of molds and templates, such as preparing a mold for the fastener 300 first, then a mold for the controller housing 100, and then processing the parts step by step. However, the integral molding process eliminates the need for additional templates, achieving true one-step completion and greatly improving processing efficiency and speed.

[0064] Here, the fixing component 300 and the controller housing 100 are integrally formed. Alternatively, they can be integrally formed using metal powder metallurgy, by pressing and sintering the metal powder, or by mixing the metal powder with a binder and then injecting it into a mold to achieve the effect of integral forming. It can also be a semi-solid metal forming process, i.e., forming in a semi-solid state; or it can be integrally formed by metal 3D printing. This application does not limit the integral forming process in its embodiments.

[0065] In one possible implementation, refer to Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the fixing member 300 is provided with a guide member 400, which extends along the height direction of the fixing member 300. In the above arrangement, the guide member 400 serves as a physical reference system, providing a clear insertion path indication for the external connector 80. This forms a longitudinal baseline, which, in conjunction with the annular limiting structure of the fixing member 300 itself, improves the positioning accuracy of the external connector 80, ensuring precise mating between the connector body 201 and the external connector 80.

[0066] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the housing 100 is provided with at least 4 connection ports 102, and the number of fasteners 300 is set to at least 4. The connection ports 102 and the fasteners 300 are arranged one-to-one. The connector bodies 201 on the controller 200 are also set to at least 4. The connector bodies 201 and the fasteners 300 are arranged one-to-one. In this technical field, the number of pins of the connector body 201 can be designed according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0067] The four fasteners 300 and the four connector bodies 201 can respectively form as follows: Figure 4The water pump interface 20, power supply interface 30, communication interface 40, and multi-way valve interface 50 shown are illustrated below. It should be noted that the controller 200 connects to the water pump of the thermal management control component via the water pump interface 20 to control the pump's start / stop and flow rate. The controller 200 connects to an external low-voltage power supply via the power supply interface 30, ensuring its normal operation. The controller 200 communicates with the vehicle via a communication structure, allowing the vehicle's control system to obtain relevant parameter information from the thermal management control component and facilitating user input of control signals. The controller 200 connects to an external multi-way valve via the multi-way valve interface 50 to control the valve's opening and closing, thereby implementing the temperature regulation function of the thermal management control component.

[0068] Through the above configuration, the controller 200 can have a variety of control functions. For example, the controller 200 can control water circuit control units such as heat pumps, batteries, electric drives, electronic water pumps for cabin heating, and electronic water valves. It can also control components such as electronic expansion valves, three-way water valves, and nine-way water valves. Of course, the controller 200 also has a high-pressure input interface 60 and a high-pressure output interface 70. The controller 200 is connected to an external high-pressure power supply through the high-pressure input interface 60, and is electrically connected to the heater and electric compressor housing 10 through the high-pressure output interface 70 to control the opening and closing of the heater and electric compressor housing 10.

[0069] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple guide members 400, including a first guide member 410. The first guide member 410 is disposed on the outside of the fixing member 300 and can be used in conjunction with the external connector 80. (Continue referring to...) Figure 5 As shown, the external connector 80 may have a mounting groove 81, which is adapted to the fixing member 300. The fixing member 300 can be inserted into the mounting groove 81. A first guide groove 82 is also provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 81, and a first guide member 410 is inserted into the first guide groove 82. When the external connector 80 is assembled with the fixing member 300, the fixing member 300 is inserted into the mounting groove 81. At this time, the first guide member 410 is inserted into the first guide groove 82. By setting the first guide member 410 and the first guide groove 82, the first guide member 410 protrudes from the fixing member 300, forming a dual visual and tactile guide, making it easy for the external connector 80 to perceive the correct insertion angle and improving installation accuracy.

[0070] Furthermore, the plurality of guide members 400 includes a second guide member 420; the second guide member 420 is disposed inside the fixing member 300; the second guide member 420 can be used in conjunction with the external connector 80. A second guide groove 83 is also provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 81 of the external connector 80, wherein the side wall where the groove opening of the first guide groove 82 is located is opposite to the side wall where the groove opening of the second guide groove 83 is located.

[0071] When the external connector 80 is assembled with the fastener 300, the fastener 300 is inserted into the mounting groove 81. At this time, the first guide 410 is inserted into the first guide groove 82, and the second guide 420 is inserted into the second guide groove 83, forming a double guide on the inner and outer sides of the fastener 300, further improving the installation accuracy. The length of the second guide 420 can be less than the length of the first guide 410. Alternatively, it can be understood that the second guide 420 serves as an inner supplementary positioning unit, forming a hierarchical positioning system with the outer first guide 410 to jointly form a foolproof interface, ensuring the installation stability of the external connector 80 and the fastener 300.

[0072] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one possible implementation, the fastener 300 is provided with at least one fixing part 500, and the fastener 300 can be fixedly connected to the external connector 80 through the fixing part 500.

[0073] In practical implementation, Figure 6 The water pump interface 20 shown includes a fixing member 300. Multiple first guide members 410 are provided on the outer side of the fixing member 300, and a connector body 201 is located on the inner side of the fixing member 300. The connector body 201 can be a pin header for controlling the water pump. Multiple second guide members 420 are provided on the inner wall of the fixing member 300, and at least one fixing part 500 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing member 300. The fixing part 500 has a columnar fixing part 510, one end of which is connected to the outer wall of the fixing member 300, and the other end extends away from the fixing member 300. The external connector 80 has a structure that matches the columnar fixing part 510, such as an elastic claw or a threaded hole. This embodiment does not limit the structure on the external connector 80 that matches the columnar fixing part 510. By providing the fixing part 500, simple physical contact is upgraded to a mechanical locking system to achieve a defined mechanical transmission path, further improving connection stability.

[0074] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, Figure 7The power supply interface 30 shown includes a fixing member 300, inside which is a connector body 201 for power supply. A first guide member 410 is provided on the outer side of the fixing member 300, and a fixing part 500 is also provided on the outer side of the fixing member 300. The fixing part 500 is configured as a snap-fit ​​fixing part 520, located on the outer side of the fixing member 300, and can snap-fit ​​with an external connector 80. By providing the snap-fit ​​fixing part 520, quick snap-fit ​​fixing with the external connector 80 can be achieved, realizing rapid connection, improving installation efficiency, and simultaneously improving connection stability. For example... Figure 8 The communication interface 40 shown includes a fixing member 300. Inside the fixing member 300 is a connector body 201 for communication connection. A first guide member 410 is provided on the outside of the fixing member 300, and a snap-fit ​​fixing part 520 is also provided. Here, the snap-fit ​​fixing part 520 is a snap-fit ​​protrusion, which snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove in the external connector 80.

[0075] In specific implementation, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the snap-fit ​​fixing part 520 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 521, which extends along the height direction of the fixing member 300. The snap-fit ​​groove 521 can be used to connect the snap-fit ​​connector (not shown in the figure) of the external connector 80. When the snap-fit ​​connector is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 521, the external connector 80 and the connector body 201 can be quickly fixed.

[0076] Reference Figure 9 The multi-way valve interface 50 shown includes a fixing member 300. Inside the fixing member 300 is a connector body 201 for controlling the multi-way valve. Multiple first guide members 410 are provided on the outer side wall of the fixing member 300, and multiple second guide members 420 are provided on the inner side wall of the fixing member 300.

[0077] In one possible implementation, this application provides a vehicle including a vehicle body and the aforementioned thermal management control component, the thermal management control component being disposed on the vehicle body. The thermal management control component has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here. This vehicle possesses the technical effects of the aforementioned thermal management control component, improving the structural strength of the connection between the external connector 80 and the connector body 201, and preventing damage to the connector body 201 or the external connector 80 from external forces. In this application embodiment, the vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a range-extended electric vehicle, etc. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the vehicle.

[0078] The vehicles mentioned in this application embodiment can also refer to large cars, small cars, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicles in this application embodiment can be sedans, off-road vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs), or other types of vehicles. Of course, they can also be other types of vehicles, and this application embodiment does not limit them.

[0079] The implementation principle of a thermal management control component and vehicle according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The thermal management control component includes a controller housing 100 and a controller 200; the controller housing 100 forms a receiving cavity 101, and the controller housing 100 is provided with a connection port 102, which communicates with the receiving cavity 101; a fixing member 300 integrally formed with the controller housing 100 is provided on the controller housing 100, and the fixing member 300 is arranged around the connection port 102; the controller 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101, and a connector body 201 is provided on the controller 200, which passes through the connection port 102; when the controller 200 is connected to an external connector 80, the fixing member 300 can be fixed to the external connector 80, and the connector body 201 can be electrically connected to the external connector 80. By integrally forming the fixing member 300 with the controller housing 100 and circling the connection port 102, a full-angle wrap-around protection and support for the external connector 80 is formed. Compared to the traditional simple docking method that relies solely on insertion and extraction force, the above-mentioned setup constructs a dual protection mechanism at the mechanical structure level. Specifically, by setting the fixing component 300, a radial constraint force is provided to prevent the lateral displacement of the external connector 80 or the connector body 201. At the same time, the fixing component 300 provides support force to the external connector 80 to resist external forces, absorb vibration or external force energy, and prevent the connector body 201 or the external connector 80 from being damaged by external forces.
