[0028] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 To learn more about the structural details of the automotive air conditioning integrated module system.
[0029] As shown in the figure, the automotive air conditioning integrated module system also includes a controller 11 mounted on the compressor 200, which controls the circulation of refrigerant in the air conditioning system. The compressor 200, cooler 300, condenser 400, and receiver 500 are detachably mounted on the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100. Optionally, the compressor 200 is fixed to the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100 with a first screw; the cooler 300, condenser 400, and receiver 500 are fixed to the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100 with a second screw. A plug 140 is also provided on the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the automotive air conditioning integrated module system further includes an exhaust connector 210, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the exhaust port of the compressor 200 and the refrigerant side flow channel plate 100, so that the exhaust port of the compressor 200 can be connected to the inlet of the condenser 400.
[0031] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, a high-pressure PT sensor 211 is provided on the exhaust connector 210. The high-pressure PT sensor 211 can realize real-time monitoring of the pressure at the compressor 200, thereby ensuring the safety of the air conditioning system.
[0032] As can also be seen from the figure, in an optional embodiment, the automotive air conditioning integrated module system also includes an expansion valve 110 disposed on the refrigerant side flow channel plate 100; the outlet of the liquid storage tank 500 is connected to the refrigerant inlet of the cooler 300 via the refrigerant side flow channel plate 100 and the expansion valve 110 in sequence.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, a mounting portion 101 is provided on the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100, and the mounting portion 101 is configured to connect to the vehicle. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 101 is a mounting through hole. Two mounting through holes are provided on the bottom plate of the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100 to facilitate the installation of the integrated air conditioning system onto the vehicle.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, a charging valve 120 is provided on the top of the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100. Refrigerant is added to the air conditioning system through the charging valve 120 on the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, a PT sensor 310 is installed at the valve island on the liquid storage tank 500. This allows for quick and accurate detection of pressure changes at the cooler 300, facilitating the controller 11 in adjusting the pressure parameters of the entire air conditioning system.
[0036] In an optional embodiment, a low-pressure PT sensor 130 is also provided on the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100. Thus, the low-pressure PT sensor 130 can detect pressure changes in the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the refrigerant-side flow channel plate 100.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, the automotive air conditioning integrated module system further includes a water-side flow channel plate 600; the water-side flow channel plate 600 faces the second side, and the cooler 300 and condenser 400 are both connected to the water-side flow channel plate 600. Optionally, the cooler 300 and condenser 400 are detachably connected to the water-side flow channel plate 600 (optionally, they are fixed to the water-side flow channel plate 600 with screws).
[0038] In an optional embodiment, the automotive air conditioning integrated module system also includes a multi-way valve 610, which is disposed on the water-side flow channel plate 600.
[0039] When in use, the controller 11 receives a communication signal and issues a command to start the compressor 200, and the refrigerant circulates in the air conditioning system.
[0040] The low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 200 and transformed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant before being discharged. High-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser at 400°C and undergoes heat exchange, transforming into medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant is dried and filtered in the liquid storage tank 500, then throttled and depressurized by the expansion valve 110 to become a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. After heat exchange in the cooler 300, it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and returns to the compressor 200.
[0041] Depending on the different operating modes of the air conditioner, adjust the connection channels of the multi-way valve 610 to connect to different water circuits. While the refrigerant is circulating, cooling water also flows through the condenser 400 and the chiller 300. Through heat exchange between the cooling water and the refrigerant, the refrigerant's properties are changed.
[0042] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides an integrated automotive air conditioning module system, which has at least the following advantages: 1. The water-side and refrigerant-side systems are integrated, resulting in a compact structure and small space, which facilitates overall vehicle space optimization.
[0043] 2. The use of flow channel plates for installation and connection reduces the amount of piping used and lowers costs.
[0044] 3. The system has a small footprint, requires less refrigerant, and has low cost.
[0045] 4. The flow channel plate integrates an expansion valve 110 structure, PT sensor interface, refrigerant charging port, etc., with a compact structure.
[0046] 5. Each component is mounted on the flow channel plate with screws, which is integrated yet relatively independent, ensuring the thermal gap between each heat exchange unit, facilitating installation and after-sales maintenance, and reducing after-sales costs.
