[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0021] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0022] According to the first aspect of this application, referring to Figure 1 This disclosure provides a thermal management integrated module, including a flow channel plate 1 and a gas-liquid separator 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the gas-liquid separator 2 is connected to the flow channel plate 1 and then installed on the vehicle using the flow channel plate 1.

[0024] For example, flow channel plate 1 can provide a flow channel for refrigerant to meet system mode requirements. Components such as liquid separator, refrigerant valve, and heat exchanger can be installed using flow channel plate 1, and the entire management integration module can be installed on the vehicle.

[0025] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the gas-liquid separator 2 includes a main body 21 and a channel 22, which connects the main body 21 to the flow channel plate 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the channel portion 22 is detachably connected to the flow channel plate 1, for example, by bolt connection.

[0027] In some embodiments, the main body 21 has a separation cavity 211.

[0028] In some embodiments, the channel portion 22 includes a first inflow pipe 221 and a second inflow pipe 222 that are separated from each other.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first inflow pipe 221 is connected to the separation chamber 211, and the second inflow pipe 222 is connected to the separation chamber 211.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222 are connected in parallel to independently introduce fluid into the separation chamber 211, thereby performing gas-liquid separation.

[0031] In some embodiments, the flow channel plate 1 and the gas-liquid separator 2 are arranged along a first direction X, and the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222 are arranged along a second direction Y.

[0032] In this embodiment, the arrangement direction between the flow channel plate 1 and the gas-liquid separator 2 is different from the arrangement direction between the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first direction X can be the thickness direction of the flow channel plate 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the flow channel plate 1 and the gas-liquid separator 2 are arranged along the first direction X, and the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222 are arranged along the second direction Y that intersects the first direction X. This can reduce the space occupied by the channel portion 22 along the arrangement direction of the flow channel plate 1 and the gas-liquid separator 2 (i.e., the first direction X), and facilitate the installation of other working components (such as the outflow pipe 223 and the temperature and pressure sensor 23) on the main body portion 21.

[0036] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the main body 21 and the channel 22 are arranged along the third direction Z.

[0037] In this embodiment, compared to the solution where the main body and the channel are arranged along the first direction X, this solution can reduce the space occupied by the thermal management integration module along the first direction X. Compared to the solution where the main body and the channel are arranged along the second direction Y, this solution can reduce the space occupied by the thermal management integration module along the second direction Y.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be approximately perpendicular to each other in pairs, that is, the included angle between any two directions can be 80° to 100°. Preferably, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z can be perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0039] In this embodiment, the third direction Z can be the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0040] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first inflow pipe 221 has a first pipe 2211 connected to the main body 21, and the first pipe 2211 has a first channel 2212.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the first pipeline 2211 is connected to the main body 21, the first channel 2212 is directly connected to the separation cavity 211, that is, the outlet of the first channel 2212 is connected to the separation cavity 211.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second inflow pipe 222 has a second pipe 2221 connected to the main body 21, and the second pipe 2221 has a second channel 2222.

[0043] In this embodiment, after the second pipeline 2221 is connected to the main body 21, the second channel 2222 is directly connected to the separation cavity 211, that is, the outlet of the second channel 2222 is connected to the separation cavity 211.

[0044] In some embodiments, the axis of the first channel 2212, the axis of the second channel 2222, and the axis of the main body 21 all extend along a third direction Z.

[0045] In this embodiment, the axis of the main body 21 extends along the third direction Z, which can reduce the space occupied by the thermal management integrated module along the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0046] In this embodiment, the axis of the first channel 2212, the axis of the second channel 2222, and the axis of the main body 21 all extend in the same direction (i.e., the third direction Z), which can reduce the fluid resistance when flowing from the channel 22 into the separation chamber 211, which is beneficial to gas-liquid separation and also ensures the outlet pressure of the gas-liquid separator 2 flowing to the compressor 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, the flow direction of the fluid flowing from the channel 22 into the separation chamber 211 is consistent with the flow direction of the fluid in the separation chamber 211. This can reduce the resistance encountered by the fluid, which is beneficial for supplying air to the compressor 5 and reducing the energy consumption of the compressor 5.

[0048] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first inflow pipe 221 has a third pipe 2213, which connects the first pipe 2211 to the flow channel plate 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first pipe 2211 and the third pipe 2213 of the first inflow pipe 221 form an "L" shaped structure.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second inflow pipe 222 has a fourth pipe 2223 that connects the second pipe 2221 to the flow channel plate 1.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second inflow pipe 2221 and the fourth inflow pipe 2222 form an "L" shaped structure.

[0052] In some embodiments, the third conduit 2213 has a third channel 2214.

[0053] In this embodiment, the outlet of the third channel 2214 is connected to the inlet of the first channel 2212.

[0054] In some embodiments, the fourth conduit 2223 has a fourth channel 2224.

[0055] In this embodiment, the outlet of the fourth channel 2224 is connected to the inlet of the second channel 2222.

[0056] In some embodiments, the axis of the third channel 2214 and the axis of the fourth channel 2224 extend along a first direction X.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the axis of the first channel 2212 is parallel to the axis of the second channel 2222, and the axis of the third channel 2214 is parallel to the axis of the fourth channel 2224, the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222 form a double "L"-shaped structure arranged along the second direction Y. This shortens the pipe length inside the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222, thus shortening the fluid flow path between the flow channel plate 1 and the main body 21, reducing the flow resistance of the gas-liquid separator 2, reducing the weight of the gas-liquid separator 2, and reducing the space occupied by the gas-liquid separator 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222 are both composed of only two pipes, which reduces the fluid turning direction in the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222, making the resistance encountered by the fluid flow smaller, thereby reducing the pressure loss when flowing into the separation chamber 211, avoiding the compressor from increasing energy consumption to compensate for the pressure loss, and reducing the operating cost in the thermal management process.

[0059] In this embodiment, by reducing the pressure loss when flowing into the separation chamber 211, it is also possible to avoid the evaporation temperature from decreasing due to the decrease in evaporation pressure, and to avoid frost formation on the evaporator surface or a decrease in heat exchange capacity due to the decrease in evaporation temperature, thereby ensuring the cooling and heating capacity of the thermal management integrated module.

[0060] In this embodiment, by shortening the lengths of the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222, the resistance encountered during fluid flow can be reduced. Furthermore, the weight of the gas-liquid separator 2 can be reduced, lowering manufacturing costs. Moreover, shortening the lengths of the first inflow pipe 221 and the second inflow pipe 222 also reduces the space occupied by the channel section 22, making the structure of the gas-liquid separator 2 more compact and facilitating the installation of other components (such as the outflow pipe 223 and the temperature and pressure sensor 23).

[0061] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first pipe 2211 and the second pipe 2221 are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first pipe 2211 and the second pipe 2221 are arranged along the second direction Y, which can save the space occupied by the channel part 22 along the first direction X, thereby saving more installation space on the main body part 21.

[0063] In some embodiments, the third conduit 2213 and the fourth conduit 2223 are offset along the second direction Y.

[0064] In this embodiment, the third pipe 2213 and the fourth pipe 2223 are not aligned or overlap along the second direction Y, which can increase the distance between the inlet of the third pipe 2213 and the inlet of the fourth pipe 2223, making it easier to manufacture the flow channel plate 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, compared to the scheme where the third and fourth pipes are arranged along the second direction Y, this scheme avoids the distance between the third pipe 2213 and the fourth pipe 2223 being too small, and avoids the outlets of the first flow channel (described below) and the second flow channel (described below) being too close, thereby avoiding the inner walls of the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12 being too thin. Consequently, when processing the flow channel plate 1, it can avoid the inner walls of the first and second flow channels that connect with the third pipe 2213 and the fourth pipe 2223 being too thin, reducing the processing difficulty of the flow channel plate 1.

[0066] For example, the distance between the third conduit 2213 and the main body 21 along the third direction Z is greater than the distance between the fourth conduit 2223 and the main body 21 along the third direction Z.

[0067] In other embodiments, the distance between the third pipe 2213 and the main body 21 along the third direction Z may be equal to the distance between the fourth pipe 2223 and the main body 21 along the third direction Z, which can shorten the length of the first inflow pipe 221 and reduce the space occupied by the pipe section.

[0068] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main body 21 has a liquid collection chamber 212, and the channel part 22 includes an outflow pipe 223 connected to the liquid collection chamber 212.

[0069] In this embodiment, the main body 21 has a separation chamber 211 and a liquid collection chamber 212 that are fluidly connected to each other. A first inflow pipe 221 and a second inflow pipe 222 are connected to the separation chamber 211 to introduce a gas-liquid two-phase medium into it. An outflow pipe 223 is connected to the gas space above the liquid collection chamber 212 to discharge the separated gas. Liquid (such as liquid refrigerant) is stored in the liquid collection chamber 212, and gas (such as gaseous refrigerant) flows out of the gas-liquid separator 2 through the outflow pipe 223, for example, flowing towards a compressor.

[0070] In some embodiments, the outflow pipe 223 is connected to the main body 21, and the outflow pipe 223 is located on the side of the second pipe 2221 away from the flow channel plate 1 along the first direction X.

[0071] In this embodiment, the space occupied by the channel portion 22 in the first direction X is reduced, thereby providing installation space for the outflow pipe 223 on the main body portion 21. The space of the axial end face of the main body portion 21 is fully utilized for installation, making the installation at the axial end face of the main body portion 21 more compact.

[0072] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the separator includes a temperature and pressure sensor 23, which is connected to the outflow pipe 223.

[0073] In this embodiment, the temperature and pressure sensor 23 can be used to detect the pressure and temperature values ​​in the outflow pipe 223.

[0074] In some embodiments, the temperature and pressure sensor 23 is located on the side of the first pipeline 2211 away from the flow channel plate 1 along the first direction X.

[0075] In this embodiment, the reduced space occupied in the first direction X by the channel portion 22 provides mounting space for the temperature and pressure sensor 23 on the main body portion 21, avoiding excessive protrusion of the temperature and pressure sensor 23 from the outside of the main body portion 21 along the radial direction of the main body portion 21, making the mounting at the axial end face of the main body portion 21 more compact and reducing the space occupied by the gas-liquid separator 2.

[0076] In this embodiment, the temperature and pressure sensor 23 protrudes radially outward from the main body 21, which can reduce the possibility of the temperature and pressure sensor 23 being damaged by impacts during vehicle vibration, assembly, and maintenance.

[0077] In this embodiment, the temperature and pressure sensor 23 is located on the side of the first pipe 2211 away from the flow channel plate 1 along the first direction X, thus preventing the temperature and pressure sensor 23 from protruding outward from the main body 21 along the second direction Y. Since the first pipe 2211 and the second pipe 2221 are arranged along the second direction Y, the temperature and pressure sensor 23 is located on the side of the outflow pipe 223 along the second direction Y, thus preventing the temperature and pressure sensor 23 from protruding outward from the main body 21 along the first direction X.

[0078] For example, the first inflow pipe 221, the second inflow pipe 222, and the outflow pipe 223 are integrally formed to create the channel portion 22, reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the channel portion 22. The temperature and pressure sensor 23 is detachably connected (e.g., threaded connection) to the outflow pipe 223. The sensing element of the temperature and pressure sensor 23 extends into the outflow pipe 223 to sense the outflowing gas.

[0079] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, the axis of the temperature and pressure sensor 23 has a target angle α with the second direction Y, and the target angle α is not greater than 52°.

[0080] In this embodiment, when the target included angle α is not greater than 52°, the temperature and pressure sensor 23 can be prevented from protruding radially outward from the main body 21, thus preventing interference from the temperature and pressure sensor 23 protruding radially outward from the main body 21 with other components of the vehicle. At the same time, it also facilitates the inspection and installation of the temperature and pressure sensor 23, even if it is installed and disassembled via a threaded connection.

[0081] For example, the axis of the temperature and pressure sensor 23 may be located in the plane containing the first direction X and the second direction Y, that is, in the plane perpendicular to the third direction Z.

[0082] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the thermal management integrated module includes a battery cooler 3 and an electronic expansion valve 4.

[0083] In some embodiments, the gas-liquid separator 2, the battery cooler 3, and the electronic expansion valve 4 are connected to the same side of the flow channel plate 1 along the first direction X.

[0084] In this embodiment, the gas-liquid separator 2, the electronic expansion valve 4, and the battery cooler 3 are located on the same side of the flow channel plate 1 along the first direction X, which can save the space occupied by the thermal management integrated module along the first direction X.

[0085] In some embodiments, the battery cooler 3 and the electronic expansion valve 4 are located on the same side of the gas-liquid separator 2 along the second direction Y.

[0086] In this embodiment, the electronic expansion valve 4 and the battery cooler 3 are located on the same side of the gas-liquid separator 2 along the second direction Y, which can save the space occupied by the thermal management integrated module along the second direction Y.

[0087] For example, the gas-liquid separator 2 is located at the edge of the flow channel plate 1 along the second direction Y, between the electronic expansion valve 4 and the battery cooler 3, making the structure of the thermal management integrated module more compact and facilitating the installation and maintenance of the electronic expansion valve 4 and the battery cooler 3, reducing the impact of the gas-liquid separator 2.

[0088] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 5 As shown, the flow channel plate 1 has a first flow channel 11 and a second flow channel 12 that are separated from each other.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first flow channel 11 and the second flow channel 12 are connected in parallel to independently introduce fluid into the separation chamber 211, thereby performing gas-liquid separation.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first inflow pipe 221 is connected to the first flow channel 11, and the second inflow pipe 222 is connected to the second flow channel 12.

[0091] In this embodiment, the outlet of the first flow channel 11 is connected to the inlet of the third channel 2214. The outlet of the second flow channel 12 is connected to the inlet of the fourth channel 2224.

[0092] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a thermal management system is provided, which includes the aforementioned thermal management integration module. This thermal management system possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned thermal management integration module, which will not be elaborated further herein.

[0093] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 6 As shown, the thermal management system includes a compressor 5 and an evaporator 6.

[0094] In some embodiments, the battery cooler 3 and the evaporator 6 are connected to the first flow channel 11, the electronic expansion valve 4 is connected to the second flow channel 12, and the compressor 5 is connected to the outflow pipe 223.

[0095] In this embodiment, when the thermal management system is in cooling mode, the refrigerant in the evaporator 6 flows out of the evaporator 6 and flows into the first inlet pipe 221 through the first flow channel 11, thereby entering the gas-liquid separator 2 for gas-liquid separation. The dried refrigerant flows into the compressor 5 through the outlet pipe 223 for recompression.

[0096] In this embodiment, in the first thermal bypass mode, the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 5 outlet can heat the battery cooler 3 after being heated by the indoor condenser, and then flows into the first inlet pipe 221 through the first flow channel 11, thereby entering the gas-liquid separator 2 for gas-liquid separation. The dried refrigerant flows into the compressor 5 through the outlet pipe 223 for recompression.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the thermal management system is in the second thermal bypass mode, the refrigerant flowing out of the compressor 5 outlet passes through the electronic expansion valve 4 and then flows into the second inlet pipe 222 through the second flow channel 12, thereby entering the gas-liquid separator 2 for gas-liquid separation. The dried refrigerant flows into the compressor 5 through the outlet pipe 223 for recompression.

[0098] In this embodiment, during the heat bypass mode, the thermal management system utilizes the heat generated by the high-speed operation of compressor 5 to provide heat to the thermal management integrated module for recycling, thereby improving the heating capacity of the thermal management system. For example, under extremely cold conditions (minus 10°C), the heat from compressor 5 can be used to supply heat to the thermal management integrated module, ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle.
