Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a compressor housing for receiving compressor components, an integrated system for forming an integrated heat pump, an integrated heat pump, in particular for an electric vehicle, a vehicle and a manufacturing method for a compressor housing.

[0002] Thermal management modules are known in the prior art. Such a thermal management module comprises a heat pump with a refrigerant circuit and a coolant circuit. The heat pump also includes a compressor unit. Depending on the application, further components may be included in such a thermal management module. The individual components of such a module are typically assembled individually and installed at their intended location. Such a location could, for example, be the axle assembly of a vehicle.

[0003] Due to the individual configuration of the module's components, numerous mounting points must be arranged at the installation site. Furthermore, considerable installation space is required to accommodate the individual modules, ensure sufficient accessibility (e.g., for maintenance), and allow for component replacement if necessary.

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a device that, as part of a thermal management module, can reduce the space required and simplify assembly.

[0005] The present invention solves this problem with a compressor housing having the features of claim 1, with an integrated system having the features of claim 4, with an integrated heat pump having the features of claim 9, with a vehicle having the features of claim 10 and with a manufacturing method for a compressor housing having the features of claim 11.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a compressor housing is provided for receiving compressor components in an interior formed by the compressor housing, wherein the compressor housing has an inner side facing the interior and an outer side facing the environment of the compressor housing, wherein the compressor housing has a channel guide element on the outer side, wherein the channel guide element is integrally formed with the compressor housing, and wherein the channel guide element is designed to serve as a channel guide for a fluid control unit.

[0007] Compared to the known state of the art, a highly integrated thermal management module with a compressor unit as the central interface can thus be provided. The compressor housing can serve as the supporting element. In other words, all components of the thermal management module can be attached to the compressor housing. The compressor housing can be part of a heat pump compressor. Additional components, such as a fluid control unit, can be mounted on the compressor housing. The fluid control unit could, for example, be a distribution module with an integrated water pump. Furthermore, a heat pump with refrigerant / coolant can be mounted on the compressor housing. The fluid control unit can also be referred to as a refrigerant distribution module. The fluid control unit can be mounted directly on the compressor housing.Furthermore, a heat exchanger (evaporator and / or condenser), expansion tank (dryer), and a suspension system with damping elements for mounting in a vehicle can be connected to the compressor housing. The compressor housing can include refrigerant lines to enable a refrigerant connection between the heat exchanger and the refrigerant distribution module without additional lines. This allows for a high integration density in the thermal management module, resulting in a compact design and low weight. This, in turn, saves costs because components can be reused. The channel guide element in the compressor housing allows for shorter lines communicating with it compared to a prior art thermal management module, thus requiring a smaller quantity of refrigerant or coolant.Furthermore, individual elements can be arranged via common mounting points. This simplifies installation at the point of use. The compressor housing can be a cast part. Compressor components can be arranged within the compressor housing to form a compressor. A compressor can, for example, include a drive unit for powering a compressor. The compressor can also include a compressor element (e.g., piston or screw) for compressing a fluid. The fluid can be gaseous and / or liquid. A compressor can also include a pressure vessel for storing the fluid. The compressor housing can be a single piece or a multi-piece design. In its assembled state, the compressor housing can define an interior space. The compressor components can be arranged within this interior space.The inside of the compressor housing is the surface that defines the interior. The outside of the compressor can be the side of the compressor housing facing the environment. The channel guide element can be formed on the outside of the compressor housing. The channel guide element can, for example, be formed by projections extending from the compressor housing. The channel guide element can have a plurality of channels designed to guide fluid when interacting with the fluid control unit. In particular, the channel guide element can have channels formed on the compressor housing. The channel guide element can have channels only partially in place in a case where the fluid control unit is not located on the compressor housing. The channel guide element can have a circumferential projection that defines its outline.The projection forming the channel guide element can also be referred to as a raised section. The channel guide element can have a multitude of such projections, forming various channels. The channel guide element can be designed to guide a fluid. Furthermore, the channel guide element can be designed to guide a multitude of different fluid flows without mixing. In other words, a multitude of conduits or channels can be formed by the channel guide element.

[0008] Since the channel guide element can be located on the outside of the compressor housing, the compressor housing can be designed to guide a fluid within the channel guide element. The channel guide element is integrally formed (i.e., a single piece) with the compressor housing. "Integral" here can mean that the channel guide element cannot be separated from the compressor housing without damage. For example, if the compressor housing is a casting, the channel guide element can be molded directly during the casting process. This ensures that the channel guide element is fluid-tightly connected to the compressor housing. The fluid control unit can be a unit designed to direct and / or distribute fluid in specific directions and / or lines. For this purpose, the fluid control unit can include a variety of pumps, shut-off devices, and / or valves.Preferably, the fluid control unit does not have its own channels but interacts with the channel guide element of the compressor housing in an integrated configuration. In other words, the fluid control unit may simply comprise pumps and valves. The coolant control unit may include hydraulic connections, pumps, valves with actuators, and / or connecting lines. The fluid control unit can act as a cover which, when mounted on the compressor housing, conceals the channel guide element, thereby completing its channels. This allows the fluid control unit to be mounted together with the compressor housing, eliminating the need for separate mounting. This results in a simplified overall system.

[0009] Preferably, the compressor housing has a receptacle for attaching a fluid control unit to the compressor housing, enabling the fluid control unit to interact with the channel guide element. The receptacle can, for example, be a fastening element with which the fluid control unit can be attached to the compressor housing. For instance, a screw connection can be provided for this purpose. Furthermore, a clip connection is also conceivable. Alternatively or additionally, the fluid control unit can also be attached to the compressor housing by means of a groove fastening. The receptacle can be located adjacent to the channel guide element on the compressor housing. This ensures that the receptacle is positioned on the compressor housing in such a way that the fluid control unit can interact directly with the channel guide element.

[0010] Preferably, the compressor housing includes a conduit section that communicates with the camera guidance element and is designed to convey a fluid. This conduit section can have a closed cross-section for conveying a fluid, unlike the channel guidance element (even if the fluid control unit is not located on the compressor housing). In other words, the conduit section can have an open inlet and an open outlet with a closed cross-section in between. In contrast, the channel guidance element only forms a closed cross-section in conjunction with the fluid control unit. In other words, the channel guidance element can have an open flow cross-section without the fluid control unit. The conduit section of the compressor housing can, for example, be used to convey fluid from the channel guidance element to other devices.For example, it is conceivable that additional elements can be connected to the compressor housing and fluidically communicate with the channel guide element. In this case, the pipe section can establish communication between the channel guide element and the additional element attached to the compressor housing. This eliminates the need for additional, e.g., external piping, thus simplifying installation. Preferably, the pipe section is integrally formed with the compressor housing. In other words, the pipe section can be formed during the manufacturing of the compressor housing. Therefore, no separate attachment of the pipe section to the compressor housing is necessary.

[0011] Preferably, the pipe section extends between two, in particular opposite, sides of the compressor housing. The pipe section can run along the outer circumference of the compressor housing. This eliminates the need for any installation space inside the compressor housing. Alternatively, the pipe section can also run through the interior of the compressor housing and / or along its inner circumference. The pipe section can, for example, be designed as a water lance. This allows for particularly short fluid paths, thus reducing fluid loss in the pipe section. By designing the pipe section to fluidically connect two opposite sides of the compressor housing, the advantage is gained that an element (for example, the fluid control unit and a heat exchanger) can be arranged on each side of the compressor housing.This allows the compressor to be positioned between the two elements. Since the compressor housing serves as the central mounting point, the load on the mounting point can be reduced. This can increase the durability of such an integrated system.

[0012] Preferably, the compressor housing has at least one interface on its exterior for mounting an evaporator and / or a condenser. This interface can be configured to be in fluidic contact with the channel guide element. In other words, fluid can flow from the channel guide element to the interface and thus to the evaporator and / or condenser mounted thereon. The condenser can, for example, be part of a heat exchanger. The interface can have at least one fastening element and at least one connection element. The fastening element can be configured to secure the evaporator and / or the condenser to the compressor housing. The fastening element can have a screw connection and / or a positive-locking connection. The connection element can be configured to fluidically connect the evaporator and / or the condenser to the channel guide element.

[0013] Preferably, the pipe section can be designed to establish communication between the channel guide and at least one interface. This makes it possible to mount the evaporator and / or the condenser at different locations within the compressor housing and still establish fluidic communication with the channel guide via the pipe section. This increases the design flexibility. In other words, such an integrated system can be easily adapted even to locations with limited installation space.

[0014] Preferably, the compressor housing has a receiving section designed to accommodate a compressor control unit and a fluid control unit. This receiving section can, for example, be a sub-housing of the compressor housing capable of accommodating at least one control unit. The receiving section can also be designed to accommodate two control units. A receiving section on a compressor housing, in which the compressor control unit is located, is known in the prior art. The present integration of a fluid control unit on the compressor housing offers the advantage of also accommodating the fluid control unit's control unit within the receiving section of the compressor housing. This allows for a reduction in the length of connecting cables between the control unit and the fluid control unit. Furthermore, the degree of integration can be increased.The fluid control unit can take over the structural control of the fluid, whereas the control unit of the fluid control unit can take over the electronic control of the fluid control unit (e.g. receiving signals, processing signals, issuing control commands, etc.).

[0015] Preferably, the receiving section is designed to be accessible from the outside. In other words, the receiving section is arranged on the compressor housing so that it is accessible from the outside of the compressor housing. Preferably, the receiving section is integrally formed with the compressor housing. For example, the receiving section is covered with a cover that is reversibly movable back and forth between a closed and an open position. This ensures that the control units are accessible from the outside.

[0016] Preferably, the compressor housing has a connecting section for attaching it to a vehicle body. This connecting section can be implemented, for example, as a threaded connection on the compressor housing. This makes attaching the compressor housing to the vehicle body particularly easy. Preferably, the connecting section includes damping elements that provide vibration damping. This is especially advantageous when the compressor housing is mounted on an axle assembly of a vehicle. The compressor housing can then serve as a common mounting point for several components (e.g., heat exchangers). This means that such an integrated system only needs to be attached at one point.The damping elements can be, for example, elastomer elements or rubber elements that are provided between a mounting to which the compressor housing is attached and the compressor housing.

[0017] According to a further aspect of the present invention, an integrated system for forming an integrated heat pump is provided. The integrated system is particularly suitable for an electric vehicle. The integrated system comprises a compressor housing according to one of the above embodiments and a fluid control unit that interacts with the channel guide element. Interaction in this context can mean that fluid is guided through both the channel guide element and the fluid control units. The fluid control unit can be arranged on the compressor housing such that the fluid control units, together with the channel guide element, form flow channels for a fluid. The fluid can be in liquid and / or gaseous form. The fluid can, for example, be a refrigerant and / or a coolant.

[0018] Preferably, the fluid control unit comprises a pump, at least one valve, and / or at least two ports. Furthermore, the fluid control unit can also include a reservoir. This allows many individual elements to be integrated into a single unit. The ports can be hydraulic. The valve and / or pump housing can be integrated into the compressor housing. In other words, the channel guide element can form part of the valve and / or pump housing. The active control elements can be located within the fluid control unit. Thus, a valve and / or pump can be formed within the fluid control unit when the fluid control unit is mounted on the channel guide plate of the compressor housing. By integrating part of the fluid control unit with the compressor housing, the overall manufacturing process can be simplified.Preferably, the fluid control unit can be configured with pumps and valves, but without channels. Thus, the fluid control unit can be designed without channels. The channels are integrated into the compressor housing (i.e., in the channel guide element). Preferably, the fluid control unit can be reversibly attached to the compressor housing. In other words, the fluid control unit can be attached to and removed from the compressor housing at any desired position. This simplifies maintenance (e.g., cleaning the channels, replacing a part of the fluid control unit, etc.).

[0019] Preferably, the integrated system further comprises an intermediate plate that is arranged, or is arranged, between the fluid control unit and the channel guide element. The intermediate plate allows for the generation of various fluid paths in interaction between the channel guide element and the fluid control unit. For example, multiple levels of channels can be defined, enabling the realization of a more complex fluid flow. Preferably, the intermediate plate has a seal, ensuring a fluid-tight connection between the fluid control unit and the channel guide element.

[0020] Preferably, the integrated system comprises a sealing element that is arranged, or can be arranged, between the fluid control unit and the channel guide element, particularly on the intermediate plate. A sealing element can more reliably prevent fluid leakage between the channel guide element and the fluid control unit. Furthermore, the elasticity of a sealing element can exert a preload on a fastening element that secures the fluid control unit to the compressor housing. This ensures secure fastening even when vibration is introduced into the system.

[0021] Preferably, the fluid control unit has an additional channel guide element designed to interact with the channel guide element of the compressor housing. In other words, the fluid control unit can also have a structure that, in conjunction with the channel guide element of the compressor housing and / or with an intermediate plate, forms channels for guiding fluid. This allows for the creation of additional fluid lines. Thus, it can be ensured that even complex fluid paths can be implemented by the integrated system.

[0022] Preferably, the integrated system further comprises at least one evaporator and / or at least one condenser. In other words, a heat exchanger can be part of the integrated system. The heat exchanger can include the evaporator and / or the condenser. The condenser and / or the evaporator can be in fluidic communication with the channel guide element via a duct section. This allows for further integration.

[0023] Preferably, the evaporator and / or the condenser are arranged on a compressor housing in such a way that they can be brought into operative communication with the channel element. Operative communication here means that fluid can be exchanged between the evaporator and / or the condenser. Consequently, no further connecting elements such as pipes or the like are necessary to connect the evaporator and / or the condenser to the channel guide element.

[0024] Preferably, the fluid control unit is arranged between the evaporator and the condenser. For example, in a top view of the integrated system, the fluid control unit can be positioned between the evaporator and the condenser. This provides an advantageous fluid path, resulting in minimal pipe runs. Furthermore, this offers the advantage of achieving optimal weight distribution.

[0025] Preferably, in an operating position of the integrated system, the fluid control unit is arranged above or below the compressor in a gravity direction. Therefore, gravity can be used to move the fluid, at least in one flow direction. This allows for advantageous operating conditions with low energy consumption. The operating position can be the position in which the integrated system is used. The gravity direction can also be referred to as the vertical direction and extends parallel to the direction of gravity.

[0026] Preferably, the integrated system further comprises a support located between the evaporator, the condenser, and the compressor housing, and designed to secure the integrated system to a vehicle body. The support can be a component used to secure the compressor housing (and thus the entire integrated system) to the vehicle body or other fixtures. Preferably, the support is the only component used to secure the integrated system. This allows for a single mounting point, which significantly simplifies the installation of the integrated system.

[0027] According to a further aspect of the present invention, an integrated heat pump for an electric vehicle is provided. The heat pump comprises an integrated system according to one of the previous embodiments. Furthermore, the heat pump includes a compressor which is housed in the compressor casing. Thus, an integrated module can be provided that includes at least two functions (namely a compressor and fluid control). If a condenser and / or evaporator are also connected, a three-in-one module can even be provided.

[0028] According to a further aspect of the present invention, a vehicle, in particular an electric vehicle, is provided with at least one integrated heat pump according to the above embodiment.

[0029] According to a further aspect of the present invention, a manufacturing method for a compressor housing is provided. The method comprises casting a compressor housing, wherein the compressor housing includes a channel guide element configured to serve as a channel guide for a fluid control unit. The channel guide element can be configured to serve, at least as part of, a channel guide for a fluid control unit. Casting can be a manufacturing process for metals and alloys in which workpieces are produced from liquid metal (i.e., the melt). The melt can, for example, be poured into a mold in which it subsequently solidifies. Thus, the channel guide element can be integrally formed on the compressor housing. Preferably, the manufacturing method is used to produce a compressor housing according to one of the preceding embodiments.

[0030] Individual features or embodiments can be combined with other features or embodiments to form new embodiments. Advantages and enhancements mentioned in connection with the features or embodiments also apply analogously to the new embodiments. Advantages and further developments mentioned in connection with the device also apply analogously to the method, and vice versa.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying figures. Fig. Figure 1 is a schematic and perspective view of a compressor as known in the prior art. Fig. Figure 2 is a schematic view of a channel guide element according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. Figure 3 is a schematic and perspective view of an integrated system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0032] Fig. Figure 1 is a schematic view of a compressor 100 as known in the prior art. The compressor 100 has a compressor housing 101, which defines an interior space in which compressor components, such as an electric drive and the like, are arranged. The compressor housing 101 is a cast part. Furthermore, the compressor housing has a receiving section 102 in which a control unit for the compressor 100 is housed. The receiving section 102 can be closed with a cover.

[0033] Fig. Figure 2 is a schematic and perspective view of a channel guide element 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The channel guide element 2 is attached to a compressor housing 1 (in Fig. 2 (only partially shown) is integrally formed. The channel guide element 2 has a multitude of projections that rise from the compressor housing 1 like walls. The projections form channels that are at least partially open. By arranging a fluid control unit (in Fig. (2 not shown) These channels are closed at the channel guide element 2, thus forming a closed flow cross-section for a fluid. In the present embodiment, the channel guide element 2 is integrally formed with the compressor housing 1. Therefore, in addition to its primary function as a housing, the compressor housing is assigned a further function, namely as a channel guide for a fluid.

[0034] Fig. Figure 3 is a schematic and perspective view of an integrated system 10 for forming a heat pump, particularly for an electric vehicle. The integrated system includes a compressor housing 1. Furthermore, the integrated system includes a fluid control unit 3, which is fixed to the housing 1. The fluid control unit 3 is fixed to the housing 1 in such a way that it interacts with the channel guide element 2. In the present embodiment, the coolant control unit 2 has hydraulic connections 4. The hydraulic control unit also includes a pump 5. The fluid control unit 3 can also be referred to as the coolant control unit. The compressor housing 1 can be part of a heat pump. The heat pump can also include an evaporator 5 and / or a condenser 6. Furthermore, the heat pump can include a dryer and an expansion valve (in Fig. (3 not shown). The fluid control unit 3 and the compressor can thus share a common housing, at least partially. This allows for increased integration.

[0035] Fig. 4 is a schematic exploded view of the in Fig. 3. In the embodiment shown. Fig. Figure 4 shows the fluid control unit 3 removed from the compressor housing 1. The channel guide element 2 of the compressor housing 1 is thus visible. It can also be seen that an intermediate plate 7 is arranged between the fluid control unit 3 and the compressor housing 1. The intermediate plate 7 defines another level of channels between the fluid control unit 3 and the channel guide element 2 of the compressor housing 1. The intermediate plate has a seal 8 that runs around its circumference. Thus, the seal 8 can seal between the channel guide element 2 and the fluid control unit 3 when assembled. Furthermore, a cover element 9 of the compressor (see Figure 4) is also shown. Fig. 3) in Fig. 4 removed. This reveals an interior 11 of the compressor housing 1. Furthermore, the inner side 12 of the compressor housing is visible. The inner side 12 of the compressor housing 1 is opposite the outer side 13 of the compressor housing. The inner side 12 of the compressor housing 1 faces the interior 11 of the compressor housing 1. The outer side 13 of the compressor housing faces the environment. In Fig. Figure 4 shows that the channel guide element 2 is located on the outside 13 of the compressor housing 1.

[0036] Fig. Figure 5 is a schematic and perspective exploded view of an integrated system 10 according to a further embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment corresponds essentially to that described in Figure 5. Fig. The embodiment shown in Figure 4 differs in that an additional channel guide element 14 is formed in the fluid control unit 3. This additional channel guide element 14 can therefore be integrated into the housing of the fluid control unit. The additional channel guide element 14 can be designed analogously to the channel guide element 2 of the compressor housing 1. This offers the advantage of enabling further structuring options for fluid channels.

[0037] Particularly when used in conjunction with an intermediate plate 8, a variety of channel configurations can be formed.

[0038] In the embodiments described in Fig. 4 and Fig. As shown in Figure 5, a receiving section 15 can be formed, which is designed to accommodate electronic control components. Firstly, control components of the compressor can be arranged in the receiving section 15. Additionally, control components of the fluid control unit 3 are arranged therein. In other words, a compressor control unit, a pump control unit, and a valve actuator control unit can be arranged in the receiving section 15. This allows for further integration of the system as a whole. The cover 9 can apparently reversibly close the receiving section 15. This means that the control elements in the receiving section 15 are accessible from the outside at any time.

[0039] Fig. Figure 6 is a schematic top view of an integrated system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. Figure 6 shows two pipe sections 16 that fluidically connect the channel guide element 2 to an evaporator 5 and a condenser 6, respectively. The two pipe sections 16 extend along an outer surface 13 of the compressor housing 1. In another embodiment (not shown), the pipe sections are designed as water lances extending through the compressor housing 1. Furthermore, in Fig. Figure 6 shows that the compressor housing 1 has four integrated connection points 17. This means that the integrated system 10 can be fixed at a single location using only these integrated connection points 17. In other words, neither the fluid control unit 3 nor the evaporator 5 or condenser 6 needs to be individually fixed anywhere. Thus, the compressor housing 1 can serve as an integral mounting point for multiple systems. It should be noted that four connection points are not strictly necessary and there can be fewer or more.

[0040] Fig.Figure 7 is a schematic and perspective view of an integrated system 10 in an installation situation. Here, the integrated system 10 is fixed to a vehicle body 19. This fixing is achieved via a connecting section 20, which has attachment points 17, each of which has a damping element 18. In the present embodiment, the damping element is designed as a rubber buffer. This allows vibrations transmitted from the body 19 to be dampened. The connecting section 20 can be an integral component. In one embodiment, the connecting section 20 is integrally formed with the compressor housing. This further reduces the number of individual parts. Overall, this reduces the number of fasteners required to fix the system or its components to the body 19.

[0041] In summary, an integrated system can be achieved, for example, of a heat pump consisting of a compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer, and expansion valve, with a coolant control unit (FCU) comprising coolant pumps, several valves, and an expansion tank. The unit can be attached to the vehicle body using common mounting points. The unit includes a heat pump and a coolant unit with pumps and control valves. The central mounting component is the compressor housing 1, which can be fixed to the vehicle. The unit's components are mounted to the compressor housing 1. Part of the coolant routing is integrated into the compressor housing. Mounting points for all the aforementioned components are integrated into the compressor housing. Hydraulic connections are integrated into the valve and pump housings.The compressor housing is manufactured in a single injection molding process. The compressor's electrical and electronic control unit, throttle, pumps, and valves are integrated within the unit. In other words, the compressor housing can serve as a central mounting point for all components and thus be fixed to the vehicle body. This allows for a high integration density with a small footprint and low weight. Cost savings result from the reuse of existing components. A channel plate can be cast into the compressor housing. This leads to shorter lines and a reduction in the required amount of refrigerant and coolant, as well as the length of lines.
