Description

[0001] The invention relates to a module for controlling a fluid circuit. The invention further relates to the use of a module according to the invention for a fluid circuit of a vehicle, and in particular for a temperature control circuit of a vehicle.

[0002] EP 4 279 300 A1 discloses a module for controlling a fluid circuit of a temperature control medium in an electric vehicle. Accordingly, this module aims to concentrate the fluid components in one location, thereby saving considerable effort compared to a decentralized solution. The module comprises a tank for the temperature control medium and a support for arranging the fluid components. The fluid components include two pumps, a condenser, a heat exchanger, and directional control valves.

[0003] However, such a module still takes up a considerable amount of space in the vehicle. The invention therefore aims to make the module even more compact.

[0004] This object is achieved by a module for regulating a fluid circuit, wherein the module comprises a plurality of fluid connections, wherein the module has at least one receptacle and preferably a plurality of receptacles for arranging fluid components, wherein the module has a carrier for arranging fluid components, wherein the carrier comprises the at least one receptacle, wherein the module has a tank with a cavity, wherein the module has a base body and a side body, wherein the base body and the side body are manufactured separately from one another, characterized in that the base body comprises a tank portion, wherein the side body has a tank section, wherein the tank portion and the tank section are connected to one another via a seam and form at least part of the tank or the cavity.

[0005] The invention is based on the finding that the tank can be manufactured by joining two parts, for example by injection molding or thermoforming. This creates a seam, but this is not disadvantageous with regard to many fluids or applications, and in particular with regard to a temperature control tank. It has been found that by providing two separately manufactured parts of the tank, a high density of structures can be achieved in the module, whereby the module as a whole is relatively compact and takes up little space in the vehicle. In particular, by providing two interconnected tank parts - the tank section and the tank portion - a greater degree of freedom in the design of the tank shape is achieved, so that the tank or module can be integrated better and more compactly into the intended space of the vehicle. As a result, the problem mentioned above is solved.

[0006] The module or tank preferably comprises a tank connection for filling the tank. It is possible for the tank connection to widen out from the hollow space of the tank. The tank connection is expediently cylindrical and / or conical in design, at least in sections. It is advantageous for the tank connection to be manufactured separately from the tank or in the base body or the side body. The tank connection is expediently made of plastic or metal. The tank connection is advantageously connected to the tank in a materially bonded manner, in particular by welding. It is very preferred for the tank connection to be at least partially and preferably completely connected to the base body.

[0007] The base body advantageously comprises a tank opening for inserting or connecting the tank connection.

[0009] The height direction preferably defined by the tank connection expediently corresponds to the Z-axis. It is advantageous that a maximum extension of the support in the Y-direction is smaller than a maximum extension of the support in the X-direction and / or in the Z-direction. It is preferred that a maximum extension of the support in the X-direction and / or in the Z-direction—preferably outside the stabilizing elements—is at least a factor of 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3 greater than a maximum extension of the support in the Y-direction.

As a result, the side body enables a high structural density in the module, so that the fluid components can be arranged particularly closely next to one another. The support section is preferably flat. The support section and / or the support section are expediently delimited at the top by the tank section or the tank section or an outer side of the tank section or the tank section. It is preferred that a maximum extension of the support section in an X direction and / or in a Z direction - preferably outside the stabilizing elements - is at least by a factor of 1.5 or2 or 2.5 or 3 is greater than a maximum extension of the support section in the Y direction.
