[0025] Examples of the present application are described in detail below. Examples of the examples are shown in the drawings, and the same or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The examples described with reference to the drawings are merely illustrative and are used to explain the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0026] An integrated module 1 according to an example of the present application is described below with reference to the drawings.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 13, an integrated module 1 according to an example of the present application includes a valve seat 10, a control valve 20, and a throttle valve 30.

[0028] The valve seat 10 is provided with a plurality of valve cavities. The control valve 20 is disposed on the valve seat 10 and installed in the valve cavities. The throttle valve 30 is disposed on the valve seat 10 and installed in the valve cavities, thereby integrating the control valve 20 and the throttle valve 30 on the valve seat 10.

[0029] Each control valve 20 is provided with a first electrical connection port 21, and the throttle valve 30 is provided with a second electrical connection port 31. The opening of the first electrical connection port 21 and the opening of the second electrical connection port 31 are oriented in the same direction. This arrangement, on the one hand, helps to reduce the working space occupied by the electrical connection between the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20. On the other hand, when connecting the first electrical connection port 21 or the second electrical connection port 31, mutual interference between the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20 can be avoided.

[0030] Specifically, by arranging the opening of the first electrical connection port 21 and the opening of the second electrical connection port 31 in the same direction, connection to the first electrical connection port 21 or the second electrical connection port 31 can be achieved through the same operation, which is advantageous for reducing the complexity of the operation and facilitating automated manufacturing. In addition, this arrangement configuration can make the structure of the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20 more compact, which allows more throttle valves 30 and control valves 20 to be installed in the same size space, or the space occupied by the same number of throttle valves 30 and control valves 20 can be made smaller.

[0031] Compared with the case where the orientations of the first electrical connection port 21 and the second electrical connection port 31 are different, making them the same is conducive to the integration of the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20, helps to reduce the working space occupied by the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20, and can reduce the complexity in connecting operating components to the first electrical connection port 21 or the second electrical connection port 31.

[0032] For example, if the orientations of the first electrical connection port 21 and the second electrical connection port 31 are different, for example, the first electrical connection port 21 faces upward and the second electrical connection port 31 faces leftward, a space for connecting the first electrical connection port 21 must be secured above the control valve 20, and a space for connecting the second electrical connection port 31 must be secured to the left of the throttle valve 30. In this case, the space occupied by the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20 becomes larger.

[0033] In the present application, the orientation of the first electrical connection port 21 and the orientation of the second electrical connection port 31 are the same, for example, both facing upward. In this case, when connecting the first electrical connection port 21 or the second electrical connection port 31, the connection between the component and the first electrical connection port 21 or the second electrical connection port 31 can be achieved simply by moving the component vertically, which is advantageous in reducing the difficulty of the work. In addition, only space above the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20 needs to be secured for installation, which is advantageous in integrating the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20 to reduce the space they occupy.

[0034] Therefore, according to the integrated module 1 of the example of the present application, by making the orientation of the first electrical connection port 21 of the control valve 20 the same as the orientation of the second electrical connection port 31 of the throttle valve 30, the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20 can be integrated, which reduces the space occupied by the throttle valve 30 and the control valve 20, reduces the complexity of the work, and is convenient for facilitating automated manufacturing.

[0035] An integrated module 1 according to a particular example of the present application is described below with reference to the drawings.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 13, an integrated module 1 according to an example of the present application includes a valve seat 10, a control valve 20, and a throttle valve 30.

[0037] In some examples of the present application, the opening of the first electrical connection port 21 is oriented perpendicular to the first surface of the valve seat 10. The first surface is the surface of the valve seat 10 used to install the control valve 20. This maximizes the use of space on the first surface of the valve seat 10 and prevents the first electrical connection port 21 from occupying extra space. This arrangement makes it easy to install more control valves 20 and throttle valves 30 on the first surface and realizes integrated setting of the control valves 20 and the throttle valves 30.

[0038] Specifically, the control valve 20 and the throttle valve 30 can be arranged along the length and width directions of the first surface, and the opening of the first electrical connection port 21 is oriented perpendicular to the first surface of the valve seat 10. When connecting a component to the first electrical connection port 21, the component only needs to be moved in a direction perpendicular to the first surface, which avoids the influence of the control valve 20 or the throttle valve 30 on the first surface on the connection between the component and the first electrical connection port 21, thereby facilitating quick and easy connection between the component and the first electrical connection port 21 or the second electrical connection port 31.

[0039] In some examples of the present application, multiple refrigerant flow paths are arranged inside the valve seat 10, and each valve cavity is connected to at least one refrigerant flow path. The integrated module 1 includes multiple control valves 20, at least one of which serves to connect different refrigerant flow paths to form different refrigerant circuits, so that the refrigerant can flow through the corresponding refrigerant circuits as required, and the refrigerant can be used to achieve heat absorption or heat release in different areas.

[0040] The integrated module 1 includes a plurality of throttle valves 30, which throttle and reduce the pressure of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit passing through the throttle valves 30, thereby converting high-temperature or medium-temperature refrigerant into low-temperature refrigerant, thereby realizing a cyclical flow of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit.

[0041] In some examples of the present application, the integrated module 1 further includes a wire harness 40. The wire harness 40 includes a plurality of plug-in connectors 41, which are respectively plugged into the plurality of first electrical connection ports 21 and second electrical connection ports 31, thereby transmitting signals from the integrated module 1 to the first electrical connection ports 21 and second electrical connection ports 31 through the wire harness 40, and thereby to the control valve 20 and the throttle valve 30. In this way, the control valve 20 can connect the corresponding refrigerant flow paths, and the corresponding throttle valve 30 can throttle and reduce the pressure of the refrigerant in the refrigerant flow path, thereby realizing circulating refrigerant flow in the corresponding refrigerant circuit.

[0042] In some optional examples of the present application, the arrangement intervals of the multiple plug-in connectors 41 are different, so that by determining the position of the plug-in connector 41 in the integrated module 1 through the arrangement intervals, the plug-in engagement between the plug-in connector 41 and the corresponding first electrical connection port 21 or second electrical connection port 31 can be accurately achieved, and the plug-in connector 41 can be prevented from being inserted into the wrong first electrical connection port 21 or second electrical connection port 31.

[0043] 2 , in some examples, the lengths of the wire harnesses 40 between the multiple plug-in connectors 41 are different, and therefore the spacing between the multiple plug-in connectors 41 is different. Because the distances between each control valve 20 and each throttle valve 30 are different, the lengths of the wire harnesses 40 are matched to the corresponding control valves 20 and throttle valves 30, thereby achieving plug-in engagement between the plug-in connectors 41 and the corresponding first electrical connection port 21 or second electrical connection port 31 and preventing the plug-in connector 41 from being inserted into the wrong first electrical connection port 21 or second electrical connection port 31.

[0044] In some examples of the present application, the integrated module 1 further includes a main connector 50. The main connector 50 is disposed on the valve seat 10. The wire harness 40 is connected to the main connector 50, which is suitable for electrical connection with a central control device of the vehicle 80. The central control device of the vehicle 80 can determine which refrigerant flow path in the valve seat 10 the refrigerant should flow through according to the demands of the vehicle 80. The central control device sends a signal to the main connector 50, which in turn sends it to the corresponding control valve 20 and throttle valve 30 through the wire harness 40 and plug-in connector 41. The control valve 20 and throttle valve 30 are then used to open the corresponding valve cavities to form a refrigerant flow path that meets the demands of the vehicle 80.

[0045] In some optional examples of the present application, the main connector 50, the control valve 20, and the throttle valve 30 are located on the same surface of the valve seat 10. On the one hand, this is advantageous for integrating the main connector 50, the control valve 20, and the throttle valve 30 onto a unified surface of the valve seat 10, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the main connector 50, the control valve 20, and the throttle valve 30. On the other hand, this is advantageous for shortening the length of the wire harness 40. When using the wire harness 40 to connect the control valve 20 to the main connector 50 and the throttle valve 30 to the control valve 20, the wire harness 40 can be prevented from being too long and becoming tangled. In some optional examples of the present application, the throttle valve 30 includes an electronic expansion valve 32. At least one refrigerant flow path is throttled and reduced in pressure by an electronic expansion valve 32 to convert high or medium temperature refrigerant into low temperature refrigerant, thereby realizing a cyclical flow of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit.

[0046] In particular, the electronic expansion valve 32 has a low height and a small volume, which is advantageous for reducing the space occupied by the throttle valve 30 on the first surface. In addition, the electronic expansion valve 32 generates less noise during operation and has a fast response, which is advantageous for improving the user experience.

[0047] In addition, the electronic expansion valve 32 can achieve two-way flow, thereby adapting to refrigerant flowing in different directions in the refrigerant circuit, so that when the refrigerant flows through the refrigerant circuit, a heat absorption or heat release effect can be achieved in some areas, which is advantageous for realizing functional diversification of the integrated module 1.

[0048] In some specific examples of the present application, the integrated module 1 further includes a fixed component 33. The fixed component 33 is fixed to the coil of the electronic expansion valve 32, and the fixed component 33 is snap-fitted to the valve seat 10, thereby stably installing the electronic expansion valve 32 on the valve seat 10 using the snap-fit ​​between the fixed component 33 and the valve seat 10 and preventing the electronic expansion valve 32 from falling off the valve seat 10.

[0049] In some examples, the fixed component 33 includes an elastic component 331 and an elastic hook 332. The elastic component 331 abuts against the upper end surface of the valve seat 10, and the elastic hook 332 is clamped into a slot on the side wall of the valve seat 10, thereby achieving cooperation between the fixed component 33 and the opposite side wall of the valve seat 10, thereby stably fixing the fixed component 33 on the valve seat 10 and stably fixing the electronic expansion valve 32 on the valve seat 10, and preventing the valve seat 10 from falling off the valve seat 10 when the valve seat 10 is subjected to an external force, which affects the throttling and pressure reduction of the refrigerant by the electronic expansion valve 32.

[0050] In some examples, the elastic component 331 is defined by bending a portion of the fixed component 33. This arrangement advantageously reduces the complexity of the components on the fixed component 33 and increases the overall strength of the fixed component 33, thereby preventing the fixed component 33 from being damaged by the force applied when the electronic expansion valve 32 is installed on the valve seat 10.

[0051] 13, in this example, the fixed component 33 includes two elastic components 331 and one elastic hook 332. The two elastic components 331 are arranged opposite each other, and the elastic hook 332 is arranged between the two elastic components 331. The elastic hook 332 is cantilevered and extends in a vertical direction. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the first surface of the valve seat 10.

[0052] When the electronic expansion valve 32 needs to be installed on the valve seat 10, the electronic expansion valve 32 should be moved vertically so as to gradually approach the valve seat 10. At this time, the two elastic components 331 abut against the upper end surface of the valve seat 10, thereby generating a pre-clamping force between the electronic expansion valve 32 and the valve seat 10, which prevents the electronic expansion valve 32 from wobbling on the valve seat 10.

[0053] In addition, the free end of the elastic hook 332 contacts the side wall of the valve seat 10 and is deformed in a direction away from the valve seat 10 when the valve seat 10 is driven. When the electronic expansion valve 32 is installed in a predetermined position, the free end of the elastic hook 332 returns to its original shape and is clamped into the slot on the side wall of the valve seat 10, thereby stably installing the electronic expansion valve 32 on the valve seat 10.

[0054] 13, in this example, the free end of the elastic hook 332 is located below the elastic component 331. When the electronic expansion valve 32 is installed in place, the free end of the elastic hook 332 is clamped into the slot on the side wall of the valve seat, and the elastic component 331 abuts against the upper surface of the valve seat, thereby stably installing the electronic expansion valve 32 on the valve seat 10.

[0055] In particular, a hook is provided on the free end of the elastic hook 332. When the elastic hook 332 recovers from its deformation, the hook is clamped into the slot on the side wall of the valve seat 10, thereby fixing the fixed component 33 on the valve seat 10 through the elastic hook 332, and fixing the electronic expansion valve 32 on the valve seat 10.

[0056] When the electronic expansion valve 32 needs to be removed from the valve seat 10, the electronic expansion valve 32 can be pressed vertically toward the valve seat 10 (the vertical direction is shown in FIG. 10 ), causing the hooks at the free ends of the elastic hooks 332 to disengage from the slots on the side walls of the valve seat 10. The free ends of the elastic hooks 332 are then deformed in a direction away from the valve seat 10, causing the elastic hooks 332 to disengage from the valve seat 10. Finally, the electronic expansion valve 32 is moved vertically away from the valve seat 10, causing the elastic component 331 to disengage from the side walls of the valve seat 10, and the electronic expansion valve 32 is removed from the valve seat 10.
