Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary components for automotive battery thermal management systems (TMS), and in particular to a multi-functional bracket for a double-layer TMS unit. Background Technology

[0002] The Thermal Management System (TMS) unit of a mining dump truck is a core component in its electrification transformation, primarily responsible for precise temperature control of the vehicle's power battery and key electrical components. In pure electric mining dump trucks, the TMS unit provides cooling water to the power battery pack through a water-cooling circulation system, ensuring that the battery operates within an efficient and safe temperature range. This is crucial for maintaining battery performance, extending service life, and ensuring vehicle operational safety.

[0003] With the widespread application of high-energy-density batteries, the battery operating temperature needs to be controlled above 200℃ in some scenarios, requiring two TMS units to work together for heat dissipation to ensure effective cooling. Existing TMS brackets have several shortcomings: they cannot meet the installation requirements of two TMS units, resulting in poor compatibility; their functions are limited, failing to integrate the installation of expansion tanks, air compressors, and wiring harness fixing requirements, leading to a chaotic system layout. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a multi-functional support for a double-layer TMS unit to solve the problems existing in the use of existing TMS supports.

[0005] This application provides a multi-functional support for a dual-layer TMS unit, including: The first crossbeam assembly is used to set up the first TMS unit; The second crossbeam assembly, located above the first crossbeam assembly, is used to mount the second TMS unit; The third crossbeam assembly, located above the second crossbeam assembly, is used to mount the air compressor; The side beam connects the first crossbeam assembly, the second crossbeam assembly, and the third crossbeam assembly into an integral structure; A water tank connecting bracket, connected to the third crossbeam assembly, is used to install an expansion water tank; A wire seat, connected to the side beam, is used to fix the wiring harness of the TMS unit.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are as follows: by setting the first, second, and third crossbeam assemblies, a three-dimensional installation structure is formed, which can simultaneously arrange two TMS units and air compressors, effectively solving the compatibility problem of dual-unit installation; at the same time, the water tank connecting frame and the screw seat are integrated, integrating the expansion tank installation and TMS unit wiring harness fixing function into one, making the system layout more compact and orderly, and solving the problem of existing brackets having single function and chaotic layout.

[0007] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows: In one embodiment of this application, the system further includes a crossbeam reinforcement assembly and a vertical beam assembly. The crossbeam reinforcement assembly is disposed between the second crossbeam assembly and the third crossbeam assembly, and the vertical beam assembly connects the crossbeam reinforcement assembly and the third crossbeam assembly. The beneficial effect of this step is that the crossbeam reinforcement assembly and the vertical beam assembly form a stable support frame between the second and third crossbeam assemblies, significantly enhancing the overall structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the support frame, especially ensuring the stability of the installation area for the top air compressor and expansion tank.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, it further includes: a first connector, which is disposed beside the water tank connecting frame and rotatably connected to the third crossbeam. The first connector is used to fix the water pipe connected to the expansion tank. The beneficial effect of this step is that by fixing the water pipe to the expansion tank using the first connector, effective constraint of the pipeline is achieved.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the system further includes a connecting bracket and a second connecting member. The connecting bracket is configured with an adjustment hole and is adjustablely connected to the crossbeam reinforcement assembly and the second crossbeam assembly via the second adjustment hole. Part of the second connecting member is connected to the first connecting member via the adjustment hole, and part of the second connecting member is connected to the second connecting member via the adjustment hole. The first connecting member is used to fix the water pipe connected to the expansion tank and the water pipe connected to the TMS unit. The second connecting member is used to hook onto the pipe fitting connected to the TMS unit. The beneficial effect of this step is that by configuring the second connecting member and the connecting bracket with the adjustment hole, the adjustable connection of the first connecting member and the second connecting member on the crossbeam reinforcement assembly or the second crossbeam assembly is achieved, facilitating adaptation to the positions of the water pipe and pipe fitting, thereby improving the stability of the water pipe and pipe fitting fixation.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, it further includes a longitudinal beam, which detachably connects the first crossbeam assembly, the second crossbeam assembly, and the crossbeam reinforcing assembly. The beneficial effect of this step is that by providing a detachable longitudinal beam, the first and second crossbeam assemblies and the crossbeam reinforcing assembly are further connected into a whole, enhancing the support strength of the bracket. Disassembly facilitates maintenance of the unit.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, it further includes a baffle plate disposed at the ventilation mesh plate of the TMS unit. The baffle plate is connected to the side beam, and the surface of the baffle plate has multiple through holes. The beneficial effects of this step are: by forming a protective structure at the air vent with the baffle plate, the probability of external foreign objects directly entering the unit through the mesh is reduced, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the TMS unit and helping to improve the operational reliability of the system under harsh operating conditions. Furthermore, the through holes ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the TMS unit. Attached Figure Description
