Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal management technology, and in particular to a thermal management module and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal management modules typically include a valve terminal. As the name suggests, a valve terminal is an "island of valves." It is no longer a series of independent pneumatic solenoid valves that are installed separately in the traditional sense. Instead, it is a device that highly integrates multiple solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, electronic control modules, fieldbus interfaces, and other auxiliary functions (such as air circuit processing, sensor signal input / output, etc.) on a compact modular base.

[0003] In order to fix the valve island, the base of the valve island is connected to the frame with bolts. However, the above connection method causes the base of the valve island to rub against the surface of the frame, which can easily damage the paint film of the frame, resulting in reduced corrosion resistance and poor NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) performance, thus affecting the performance of the frame. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a thermal management module that avoids the direct connection of the valve island assembly bracket to the vehicle frame, ensuring the integrity of the paint film on the vehicle frame. This improves the corrosion resistance and NVH performance of the vehicle frame, solving the technical problems of reduced corrosion resistance and poor NVH performance in the prior art.

[0005] This invention also aims to provide a vehicle having the aforementioned thermal management module.

[0006] A thermal management module according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame having a receiving cavity formed therein; a valve island assembly including a functional module and a support, the support being disposed in the receiving cavity and fixedly connected to the frame, the functional module being mounted on the support, and the functional module including at least a control valve and a water pump.

[0007] According to the thermal management module of this utility model embodiment, by placing the bracket of the valve island assembly in the receiving cavity and fixing it to the frame, the valve island assembly can be fixed while avoiding direct connection of the bracket of the valve island assembly to the vehicle frame. This avoids friction between the bracket and the surface of the vehicle frame, ensuring the integrity of the paint film of the vehicle frame, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the vehicle frame and making the NVH performance of the vehicle frame good.

[0008] In some embodiments, the frame has support beams, the support beams including a first support beam, a second support beam, and a third support beam. The first support beam is disposed on at least one side of the valve island assembly in a first direction, the second support beam is disposed on at least one side of the valve island assembly in a second direction, and the third support beam is disposed on at least one side of the valve island assembly in a third direction. The first support beam, the second support beam, and the third support beam cooperate to define the receiving cavity. The bracket is fixedly connected to at least two of the first support beam, the second support beam, and the third support beam. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other.

[0009] In some embodiments, a vibration damping element is provided between the bracket and the support beam.

[0010] In some embodiments, the damping element is an elastic pad.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bracket includes a bracket body and a connecting arm connected to the bracket body. The connecting arm includes a first connecting arm, a second connecting arm, and a third connecting arm. The functional module is mounted on the bracket body. In the first direction, a first end of the bracket body is disposed opposite to the first support beam. The first connecting arm is connected to the first end and fixedly connected to the first support beam. The second connecting arm extends toward the second support beam and is fixedly connected to the second support beam. The third connecting arm extends toward the third support beam and is fixedly connected to the third support beam.

[0012] In some embodiments, at least one of the first connecting arm, the second connecting arm, and the third connecting arm is integral with the bracket body.

[0013] In some embodiments, the functional module includes a connecting pipe for conveying a heat exchange medium, and the support also includes a support arm disposed on the support body or the connecting arm, with at least a portion of the connecting pipe fixedly connected to the support arm.

[0014] In some embodiments, the support body is provided with a weight reduction port and a clearance port, the clearance port being used at least to avoid the connecting pipe.

[0015] In some embodiments, the functional module further includes a flow channel plate for guiding the flow of heat exchange medium. The flow channel plate is provided with a plurality of first mounting points, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the flow channel plate. The support body is provided with a plurality of second mounting points, which correspond one-to-one with the plurality of first mounting points. The flow channel plate is fixedly connected to the support body through the cooperation of the plurality of second mounting points and the plurality of first mounting points.

[0016] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the aforementioned thermal management module.

[0017] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by adopting the aforementioned thermal management module, friction between the valve island assembly bracket and the frame surface can be avoided, ensuring the integrity of the frame's paint film, thereby improving the frame's corrosion resistance and resulting in good NVH performance of the frame, thus enhancing the vehicle's working performance.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0023] The thermal management module 1000 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the thermal management module 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a frame 100 and a valve island assembly 200.

[0025] Among them, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a receiving cavity is formed within the frame 100. The receiving cavity facilitates the installation of other components of the thermal management module 1000 (such as the valve island assembly 200), reducing the installation difficulty of other components of the thermal management module 1000.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the valve island assembly 200 includes a functional module 400 and a bracket 300. The bracket 300 is disposed within the receiving cavity and fixedly connected to the frame 100. The functional module 400 is mounted on the bracket 300. The functional module 400 includes at least a control valve 210 and a water pump 220. This can be understood as follows: both the functional module 400 and the bracket 300 are disposed within the receiving cavity, and the functional module 400 is mounted on the bracket 300. This utilizes the bracket 300 to support the functional module 400, ensuring the positional stability of the functional module 400 and thus guaranteeing its operational performance.

[0027] Meanwhile, by placing the bracket 300 inside the receiving cavity and fixing it to the frame 100, the frame 100 stably supports the bracket 300, ensuring the positional stability of the bracket 300. This allows the bracket 300 to stably support the functional module 400, and avoids direct connection of the bracket 300 to the frame, thereby preventing friction between the bracket 300 and the frame surface, ensuring the integrity of the frame's paint film, improving the frame's corrosion resistance, and resulting in good NVH performance of the frame.

[0028] It should be noted that in functional module 400, the core function of water pump 220 is to provide circulation power for heat exchange medium (such as coolant, antifreeze and heat transfer oil), and it is the "power source" of the entire thermal management module 1000; the core function of control valve 210 is to adjust the flow direction, flow ratio or on / off of heat exchange medium, which is equivalent to the "traffic controller" of thermal management module 1000, thereby realizing precise temperature control in different areas of thermal management module 1000 to ensure the working performance of thermal management module 1000.

[0029] As can be seen from the above structure, the thermal management module 1000 of this utility model avoids the direct connection of the bracket 300 of the valve island assembly 200 to the frame by placing the bracket 300 in the receiving cavity and fixing it to the frame 100. This avoids friction between the bracket 300 and the surface of the frame, ensuring the integrity of the paint film of the frame, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the frame, and making the NVH performance of the frame good, reducing noise, vibration and subjective discomfort, improving the working performance of the thermal management module 1000 and extending its service life.

[0030] Understandably, compared to existing technologies, this application not only stabilizes the position of the bracket 300 of the valve island assembly 200, but also prevents the bracket 300 from damaging the paint film of the frame, improving the corrosion resistance of the frame and making the NVH performance of the frame better.

[0031] In some embodiments, the frame 100 and the bracket 300 can be made of PA66-GF (nylon 66+ glass fiber) or PPS (polyphenylene sulfide). While ensuring the strength and high temperature resistance of the frame 100 and the bracket 300, the weight of the frame 100 and the bracket 300 can be reduced, which facilitates the lightweight design of the thermal management module 1000.

[0032] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the frame 100 has a support beam 120, which includes a first support beam 121, a second support beam, and a third support beam 123. The first support beam 121 is located on at least one side of the valve island assembly 200 in a first direction, the second support beam is located on at least one side of the valve island assembly 200 in a second direction, and the third support beam 123 is located on at least one side of the valve island assembly 200 in a third direction. The first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123 cooperate to define a receiving cavity. The bracket 300 is fixedly connected to at least two of the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other. It should be noted that the first direction mentioned here can be understood as... Figure 1 The Z direction shown, the second direction can be understood as Figure 1 The X direction shown can be understood as the third direction. Figure 1 As shown in the Y direction, by setting the frame 100 to have a support beam 120, and setting the support beam 120 to include a first support beam 121, a second support beam, and a third support beam 123, and setting the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123 in different directions, the cooperation of the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123 can not only enhance the structural strength of the frame 100, distribute the load, and avoid stress concentration, thereby ensuring the structural strength and stability of the frame 100, but also reduce the molding difficulty of the frame 100, and facilitate the subsequent installation of other components of the thermal management module 1000.

[0033] in, Figure 1 The X direction shown can be understood as the front-to-back direction of the vehicle (i.e., from the front to the rear), the Y direction can be understood as the left-to-right direction of the vehicle (i.e., from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat), and the Z direction can be understood as the up-and-down direction of the vehicle (i.e., from the roof to the bottom).

[0034] It should be noted that "the first support beam 121 is located on at least one side of the valve island assembly 200 in the first direction" means that the first support beam 121 is located on one side of the valve island assembly 200 in the first direction, or that the first support beam 121 is located on opposite sides of the valve island assembly 200 in the first direction; "the second support beam is located on at least one side of the valve island assembly 200 in the second direction" means that the second support beam is located on one side of the valve island assembly 200 in the second direction, or that the second support beam is located on opposite sides of the valve island assembly 200 in the second direction; "the third support beam 123 is located on at least one side of the valve island assembly 200 in the third direction" means that the third support beam 123 is located on one side of the valve island assembly 200 in the third direction, or that the third support beam 123 is located on opposite sides of the valve island assembly 200 in the third direction.

[0035] It should also be noted that the fixed connection between the bracket 300 and at least two of the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123 means that the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the first support beam 121 and the second support beam respectively, or the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the first support beam 121 and the third support beam 123 respectively, or the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the second support beam and the third support beam 123 respectively, or the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to all three of the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123. Since the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123 are respectively located in different directions of the valve island assembly 200, the above arrangement can achieve the fixation of the bracket 300 in at least two different directions, thereby effectively improving the positional stability of the bracket 300 and ensuring the support performance of the bracket 300 for the functional module 400.

[0036] In a specific example, the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123 respectively, so as to provide fixed support for the bracket 300 in three different directions and maximize the positional stability of the bracket 300.

[0037] The fixed connection between the bracket 300 and the first support beam 121, the second support beam and the third support beam 123 can be a bolt connection or a snap-fit ​​connection, so that the bracket 300 and the support beam 120 can form a detachable connection. While ensuring the connection strength between the bracket 300 and the support beam 120, it can also reduce the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the bracket 300 and the support beam 120, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the valve island assembly 200.

[0038] Of course, in some other embodiments, the bracket 300 can also be connected to the first support beam 121, the second support beam and the third support beam 123 by welding to form a non-detachable connection, thereby increasing the connection strength between the bracket 300 and the support beam 120.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, the features defined as "first", "second" and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, used to distinguish the descriptive features, without any order or importance.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a vibration damping component 500 is provided between the bracket 300 and the support beam 120. The vibration damping component 500 can absorb vibration energy, weaken vibration transmission, and buffer impact loads, reducing the vibration intensity transmitted from the support beam 120 to the bracket 300 by external impacts, thereby reducing noise propagation, resulting in good NVH performance of the thermal management module 1000, and improving the stability of the connection between the bracket 300 and the support beam 120.

[0041] It should be noted that the vibration damping element 500 between the bracket 300 and the support beam 120 can be understood as follows: when the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the first support beam 121, the vibration damping element 500 is provided between the bracket 300 and the first support beam 121; when the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the second support beam, the vibration damping element 500 is provided between the bracket 300 and the second support beam; and when the bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the third support beam 123, the vibration damping element 500 is provided between the bracket 300 and the third support beam 123.

[0042] In some embodiments, the damper 500 is an elastic pad. This ensures the absorption and cushioning performance of the damper 500, facilitating the reduction of vibration intensity between the support 300 and the support beam 120.

[0043] In some embodiments, the elastic gasket is typically made of rubber, polyurethane, or nylon, thereby ensuring the absorption and cushioning capacity of the damper 500.

[0044] In other embodiments, the damper 500 may also be an O-ring or a metal bracket with a rubber coating. That is to say, the damper 500 is not limited to an elastic pad, and this application does not impose specific limitations on the specific structural form of the damper 500.

[0045] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 300 includes a bracket body 310 and connecting arms 320 connected to the bracket body 310. The connecting arms 320 include a first connecting arm 360, a second connecting arm 330, and a third connecting arm 340. The functional module 400 is mounted on the bracket body 310. In a first direction, the first end of the bracket body 310 is positioned opposite to the first support beam 121. The first connecting arm 360 is connected to the first end and fixedly connected to the first support beam 121. The second connecting arm 330 extends towards the second support beam and is fixedly connected to the second support beam. The third connecting arm 340 extends towards the third support beam 123 and is fixedly connected to the third support beam 123. This configuration allows the bracket 300 to be fixedly connected to the first support beam 121, the second support beam, and the third support beam 123 respectively, providing fixed support in three different directions and maximizing the positional stability of the bracket 300.

[0046] In addition, by setting a connecting arm 320 to achieve a fixed connection between the bracket 300 and the first support beam 121, the second support beam and the third support beam 123, the difficulty of connecting the bracket 300 and the frame 100 can be reduced.

[0047] By mounting the functional module 400 on the bracket body 310, the functional module 400 can be mounted on the bracket 300, reducing the difficulty of matching the functional module 400 with the bracket 300, making it easier to stably support the functional module 400 using the bracket body 310, and ensuring the stability of the functional module 400.

[0048] It should be noted that, in the above configuration, since the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 extend in different directions, the extension directions of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 are different. The first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 in different directions can bear the load in multiple dimensions, enhance the deformation resistance of the bracket 300, and also distribute the load more evenly, avoiding excessive pressure on a single connecting arm 320, thereby improving the structural strength of the bracket 300.

[0049] In some embodiments, at least one of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 is integrally formed with the bracket body 310. This is to improve the connection strength between the connecting arm 320 and the bracket body 310, thereby improving the structural strength of the bracket 300 itself, enhancing the reliability and stability of the bracket 300, and reducing the molding difficulty of the bracket 300.

[0050] Wherein, at least one of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 is integral with the bracket body 310, meaning that one of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 is manufactured with the bracket body 310 using an integral forming process; or, two of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 are manufactured with the bracket body 310 using an integral forming process; or, all of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 are manufactured with the bracket body 310 using an integral forming process.

[0051] In some embodiments, one of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 is integrally formed with the bracket body 310. The other two of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 can be fixedly connected to the bracket body 310 by welding, bonding, or bolting. Since the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 extend in different directions, the above arrangement can reduce the forming difficulty of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330, and the third connecting arm 340 while ensuring the structural strength of the bracket body 310.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting arm 360 and the bracket body 310 are manufactured using an integral processing technology. The second connecting arm 330 and the third connecting arm 340 are fixedly connected to the bracket body 310 by welding, bonding or bolting, which facilitates the improvement of the connection strength between the first connecting arm 360 and the bracket body 310 and reduces the molding difficulty of the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330 and the third connecting arm 340.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the first connecting arm 360, the second connecting arm 330 and the third connecting arm 340 are all integrally formed with the bracket body 310.

[0054] In some embodiments, functional module 400 includes a connecting pipe for conveying a heat exchange medium, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the support 300 also includes a support arm 350, which is disposed on the support body 310 or the connecting arm 320. At least a portion of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the support arm 350. The connecting pipe is the core channel carrier for realizing the circulation and heat exchange of the heat exchange medium, reducing the difficulty of transporting the heat exchange medium. Simultaneously, by fixing at least a portion of the connecting pipe to the support arm 350, the support arm 350 can support the connecting pipe, ensuring the positional stability of the connecting pipe and thus guaranteeing its transport performance.

[0055] The fixed connection between the connecting pipe and the support arm 350 can be achieved by fitting a clamp around the outer periphery of the connecting pipe and fixing the clamp to the support arm 350. This not only achieves a fixed connection between the connecting pipe and the support arm 350, but also improves the connection strength between the connecting pipe and the support arm 350 and reduces the difficulty of connecting the connecting pipe and the support arm 350.

[0056] Of course, in some other embodiments, the connecting tube can also be directly glued to the support arm 350 to achieve a fixed connection between the connecting tube and the support arm 350, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0057] It should be noted that the above-mentioned support arm 350 being located on the bracket body 310 or the connecting arm 320 means that the support arm 350 is located on the bracket body 310 or the support arm 350 is located on the connecting arm 320.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 300 includes multiple support arms 350, which are respectively disposed on the bracket body 310 and the connecting arm 320.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 3As shown, the support arm 350, the bracket body 310, and the connecting arm 320 are formed as a single unit. This means that when the support arm 350 is located on the bracket body 310, the support arm 350 and the bracket body 310 are manufactured using an integral molding process to form a single unit; when the support arm 350 is located on the connecting arm 320, the support arm 350 and the connecting arm 320 are also manufactured using an integral molding process to form a single unit. This reduces the molding difficulty of the support arm 350 while also improving its structural stability, thereby enhancing its support performance and improving the positional stability of the connecting pipe.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support body 310 is provided with a weight-reducing port 311 and a clearance port 312. The clearance port 312 is used to at least avoid the connecting pipe. This reduces the installation difficulty of the connecting pipe, avoids interference between the connecting pipe and the support body 310, and also allows the connecting pipe to be set close to the support body 310, making it easier to fix at least a part of the connecting pipe to the support arm 350, thus reducing the connection difficulty between the connecting pipe and the support arm 350.

[0061] Meanwhile, by setting up a weight reduction port 311, the weight of the support body 310 can be reduced while ensuring the structural strength of the support body 310, thereby achieving the goal of balancing the lightweight and structural performance of the support body 310.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support body 310 is provided with multiple weight reduction ports 311. The multiple weight reduction ports 311 work together to greatly reduce the weight of the support body 310, so as to realize the lightweight design of the support body 310.

[0063] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bracket body 310 has at least one clearance opening 312. That is to say, the number of clearance openings 312 provided on the bracket body 310 can be one, two, three or more, so as to avoid the connection pipe.

[0065] In some embodiments, the thermal management module 1000 also includes a controller and wires (not shown in the figure). The wires are used to connect the controller, control valve 210, and water pump 220, etc. The clearance port 312 is also used to avoid the wires, so as to reduce the difficulty of wire arrangement and thus reduce the assembly difficulty of the thermal management module 1000.

[0066] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 3 Figure 4As shown, the functional module 400 also includes a flow channel plate 240, which guides the flow of the heat exchange medium. The flow channel plate 240 has multiple first mounting points 241 arranged at intervals along its circumference. The support body 310 has multiple second mounting points (not shown in the figure), each corresponding to one of the first mounting points 241. The flow channel plate 240 is fixedly connected to the support body 310 through the cooperation of the second mounting points and the first mounting points 241. By using the flow channel plate 240 to guide the flow of the heat exchange medium, heat transfer, fluid distribution, and temperature control of the thermal management module 1000 can be achieved, thereby ensuring the thermal management performance of the thermal management module 1000.

[0067] Meanwhile, by setting multiple first mounting points 241 arranged circumferentially along the flow channel plate 240, and setting multiple second mounting points on the bracket body 310 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple first mounting points 241, not only can the connection difficulty between the flow channel plate 240 and the bracket body 310 be reduced, but the connection strength between the flow channel plate 240 and the bracket body 310 can also be increased. In this way, while realizing the installation of the flow channel plate 240 onto the bracket body 310, the stability of the connection between the flow channel plate 240 and the bracket body 310 can also be guaranteed, thereby improving the structural stability of the flow channel plate 240 and ensuring the working performance of the flow channel plate 240.

[0068] In some embodiments, the thermal management module 1000 includes a plurality of fasteners, and the plurality of fasteners, a plurality of first mounting points 241 and a plurality of second mounting points correspond one-to-one. The fasteners pass through the first mounting points 241 and are fixedly connected to the second mounting points to achieve a fixed connection between the flow channel plate 240 and the bracket body 310.

[0069] Fasteners can be fastening bolts or fastening screws, etc.

[0070] In summary, the valve island assembly 200 includes a functional module 400 and a bracket 300. The bracket 300 is fixedly connected to the frame 100 in different directions. The functional module 400 includes at least a control valve 210, a water pump 220, a connecting pipe, and a flow channel plate 240. The control valve 210, water pump 220, connecting pipe, and flow channel plate 240 are all fixedly connected to the bracket 300. The bracket 300 is also provided with a support arm 350 that is fixedly engaged with the connecting pipe and a second mounting point that is fixedly engaged with the flow channel plate 240. This reduces the connection strength between the functional module 400 and the bracket 300 and increases the connection strength between the functional module 400 and the bracket 300, making it easier to form a structurally stable valve island assembly 200. Furthermore, the valve island assembly 200 of this application is not directly connected to the vehicle frame, thereby avoiding friction between the valve island assembly 200 and the surface of the vehicle frame, ensuring the integrity of the paint film on the vehicle frame, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the vehicle frame and making the NVH performance of the vehicle frame good.

[0071] It should be noted that the flow channel plate 240 has a pre-set precision flow channel structure, which can replace the complex splicing of traditional multiple delivery pipes, allowing the heat exchange medium to flow according to the design path, thereby optimizing the heat exchange efficiency of the thermal management module 1000, simplifying the structure of the thermal management module 1000, and improving the temperature control accuracy of the thermal management module 1000.
