[0053] As shown in FIG. 1-4, the at least partially carrying substrate 26 or the flow passage 261 extends in a plate shape, the extension direction of the flow passage 261 is consistent with the extension direction of the plate of the heat exchange device 14, the control assembly X, the heat exchange device 14 and the liquid storage device 15 are located on the same side of the carrying substrate 26 and are fixedly connected with the carrying substrate 26, the control assembly X, the heat exchange device 14 and the liquid storage device 15 are arranged along the extension surface of the carrying substrate 26, a first direction H is defined, the control assembly X and the heat exchange device 14 are arranged along the first direction H, the axial direction of the liquid storage device 15 is parallel to the first direction H, the extension direction of the plate of the heat exchange device 14 is parallel to the first direction H, along the radial direction of the liquid storage device 15, the at least partially control assembly X and the heat exchange device 14 are located on the same side of the liquid storage device 15. In the embodiment, the control assembly X and the heat exchange device 14 are located on the same side of the liquid storage device 15, in other embodiments, along the axial direction of the liquid storage device 15, part of the control module X is located on one side of the liquid storage device 15. A first surface S is defined, the first surface S is perpendicular to the first direction H, the first surface S is parallel to the stacking direction of the heat exchange device 14, along the stacking direction of the heat exchange device 14, the heat exchange device 14 is connected with the communication assembly 16, the connecting piece 10 is connected with the communication assembly 16, as shown in FIG. 4, the projection of the communication assembly 16 and the flow passage 261 on the first surface S at least partially overlaps, the staggered arrangement of the communication assembly 16 and the flow passage 261 makes the thickness of the fluid control assembly smaller in the stacking direction of the heat exchange device 14, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the fluid control assembly. In other embodiments, the communication assembly 16 can also be a flow channel plate assembly, the control assembly X and the heat exchange device 14 are fixedly connected or positionally connected with the flow channel plate assembly, the projection of the flow channel plate assembly and the flow passage 261 on the first surface at least partially overlaps. In other embodiments, any one of the control module X and the heat exchange device 14 can have at least partial overlap with the projection of the flow passage 261 on the first surface S, which reduces the thickness dimension of the carrying substrate on which the control module X or the heat exchange device 14 is installed.
[0054] Specifically, the connecting piece 10 and the heat exchange device 14 at least partially overlap in the projection on the first surface S, and / or the control box 12 and the heat exchange device 14 at least partially overlap in the projection on the first surface S. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, part of the first connecting piece 101 and part of the second connecting piece 102 overlap with the heat exchange device 14 in the projection on the first surface S, and part of the control box 12 overlaps with the heat exchange device 14 in the projection on the first surface S. In other embodiments, one of the first connecting piece 101 and the second connecting piece 102 at least partially overlaps with the heat exchange device 14 in the projection on the first surface S. At least one of the connecting piece 10 and the control box 12 at least partially overlaps with the heat exchange device 14 in the projection on the first surface S, and the connecting piece 10 and / or the control box 12 with a larger occupied space are arranged on the side of the heat exchange device 14, which is beneficial to improve the space utilization of the fluid control assembly. In addition, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the multiple mounting cavities of the connecting piece 10 are opened towards the same direction, the axis direction of the control component 13 is parallel to the stacking direction of the plates of the heat exchange device 14, the control box 12 and the connecting piece 10 are arranged along the axis direction of the control component 13, part of the control component 13 is mounted in the mounting cavities of the connecting piece 10 from the same direction, and the other part is located in the cavity of the control box 12, that is, the control box 12 is located on the side of the connecting piece 10 close to the control component 13, so as to realize the unified control of the control box 12 on the control component 13. In other embodiments, the thickness of the heat exchange device 14 is equal to the overall thickness of the control assembly X, and the length of the heat exchange device 14 is consistent with the length of the control assembly X, that is, the control assembly X and the heat exchange device 14 completely overlap in the projection on the first surface S.
[0055] In addition, in the embodiment, the connecting assembly 16 and the connecting piece 10 are separately arranged, the connecting assembly 16 adopts a connecting pipe structure, and the connecting piece 10 is used for mounting the control component 13. Compared with the structure of the flow channel plate provided with the control component in the prior art, such a design has a simple structure and is easy to process. In addition, the structure of the connecting pipe makes the fluid control assembly lighter in weight, the connecting pipe is easy to bend, and the arrangement positions of the connecting piece 10, the heat exchange device 14 and the liquid storage device 15 have a larger degree of freedom. The connecting relationship of the connecting piece 10, the heat exchange device 14 and the liquid storage device 15 can be realized by appropriately adjusting the length or bending angle of the connecting pipe.
[0056] In one specific embodiment, the stacking direction of the heat exchange device 14 is horizontal, the axial direction of the liquid storage device 15 is parallel to the direction of gravity, and the control assembly X is located above the heat exchange device 14 along the axial direction of the liquid storage device 15, which means that the connecting member 10 is located above the heat exchange device 14. This arrangement facilitates the outflow of the refrigerant in the connecting member 10, thereby reducing the risk of blockage of the control component 13 installed on the connecting member 10. Along the radial direction of the liquid storage device 15, the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 are arranged side by side, and the second connecting member 102 is arranged closer to the liquid storage device 15 than the first connecting member 101, so that the communication assembly 16 connecting the liquid storage device 15 and the second connecting member 102 is shorter, facilitating the flow of the refrigerant in the liquid storage device 15 through the shorter communication assembly 16 to the throttling component 1302. In other embodiments, the stacking direction of the heat exchange device 14 is parallel to the direction of gravity, and the axial direction of the liquid storage device 15 is also parallel to the direction of gravity. That is, the axial direction of the liquid storage device 15 is perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plates of the heat exchange device 14, or the axial direction of the liquid storage device 15 is parallel to the stacking direction of the plates of the heat exchange device 14. This allows the fluid control assembly to be suitable for different arrangement spaces.
[0057] The carrying base 26 includes a cooling liquid tank 264, the cavity of the cooling liquid tank 264 is in communication with the cooling liquid flow channel 260, and the cooling liquid tank 264 is used for storing cooling liquid and supplementing the second module 2 with cooling liquid. The flow-through part 261 of the carrying base 26 and the cooling liquid tank 264 are of an integrated structure, which saves the step of separately installing the cooling liquid tank 264. In one specific embodiment, the carrying base 26 includes a main plate and a cover plate, the cover plate is welded to the main plate, the flow channel groove and the liquid storage groove are located on at least one of the main plate and the cover plate, a portion of the cover plate and the corresponding main plate are spliced to form the flow-through part 261, and another portion of the cover plate and the corresponding main plate are spliced to form the cooling liquid tank 264. The mounting part 263 and the flow-through part 261 are of an integrated structure, or they can be formed by welding the two side plates.
[0058] As shown in FIG. 1-2, in the embodiment, the control module X of the first module 1, the heat exchange device 14, the liquid storage device 15, and the pump component 21 and the coolant valve component 22 of the second module 2 are arranged on the same side of the bearing base 26, the heat exchange device 14 is arranged at the center position, and the other components are arranged at the circumferential side of the heat exchange device 14. The structure is compact, along the gravity direction, the control module X and the heat exchange device 14 are arranged along the first direction H, and the heat exchange device 14 and the liquid storage device 15 are arranged perpendicular to the first direction H. In this way, the control module X, the heat exchange device 14, and the liquid storage device 15 are arranged on the same plane, and the pump component 21 and the coolant valve component 22 are also arranged on the same plane. The length of the control module X is shorter than the length of the bearing base 26, and the control module X is arranged at a relatively intermediate position in the length direction of the bearing base 26, so that the two ends of the bearing base 26 form a free space, or in other words, there is a free space above the coolant valve component 22 and the liquid storage device 15. In the embodiment, along the length direction of the connecting piece 10, at least part of the coolant tank 264 is arranged on both sides of the connecting piece 10, so that the space utilization rate of the fluid control assembly is improved. Specifically, perpendicular to the first direction H, the coolant tank 264 is located on the circumferential side of the connecting piece 10. Specifically, the connecting piece 10 is substantially a cuboid structure, and the circumferential side of the connecting piece 10 includes four side portions, one of which is provided with the control box 12, and the other three side portions are provided with part of the structure of the coolant tank 264. The parts of the first module 1 and the parts of the second module 2 are arranged on the same side of the bearing base 26, which facilitates the management of the parts of the fluid control assembly, and makes the opposite side of the bearing base 26 relatively flat, facilitating the installation of the fluid control assembly.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 1-3, the bearing base 26 includes a barrier portion Z, at least part of the first connecting piece 101 is located on one side of the barrier portion Z, and at least part of the second connecting piece 102 is located on the opposite side of the barrier portion Z. The thermal conductivity of the material of the barrier portion Z is less than the thermal conductivity of the material of the first connecting piece 101, which can effectively reduce heat transfer compared with the connecting piece 10 of an integral structure. Generally, the material of the connecting piece 10 is aluminum or other metal materials. In the embodiment, the barrier portion Z is of an integral structure with the bearing base 26, and the material of the barrier portion Z is also plastic. The thermal conductivity of plastic is smaller than that of aluminum. In a specific embodiment, the cavity of the barrier portion Z stores a medium, such as coolant, and the thermal conductivity of the medium is less than that of the material of the first connecting piece 101, which can also help to reduce harmful heat transfer. In the embodiment, the cavity of the barrier portion Z is in communication with the cavity of the coolant tank 264, and further in communication with the coolant flow channel 260.
[0060] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, the heat exchange passage of the heat exchange device 14 includes a first heat exchange passage 1401, a second heat exchange passage 1402 and a third heat exchange passage 1403. The first heat exchange passage 1401 flows the high-temperature refrigerant flowing in from the liquid storage cavity. The second heat exchange passage 1402 flows the low-temperature refrigerant flowing in from the first low-temperature flow channel L1 of the connecting component 10.

In addition, the connecting piece 10 is substantially a cuboid structure, in addition to including four side parts, it also includes a bottom side and a top side. The heat exchange device 14 is located on the bottom side of the connecting piece 10, and the external interface part 1102 is located on the side of the connecting piece 10 away from the heat exchange device 14, that is, the external interface part 1102 is located on the top side of the connecting piece 10.

As shown in FIG. 18, in a specific embodiment, the fluid control assembly can also not include the cooling liquid tank 264.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 6, the internal interface part 1101 includes a first communication interface part 115, a second communication interface part 116, the first communication interface part 115 and the second communication interface part 116 being connectable and in communication through the partial communication assembly 16, the opening of the first communication interface part 115 being in communication with the third sub-flow passage 1001c, and the opening of the second communication interface part 116 being in communication with the fourth sub-flow passage 1002a; the heat exchange device 14 being capable of being used as an evaporator, the first internal interface part 11011 including a first evaporator interface part 119, a second evaporator interface part 117, and an eighth interface part 118, the opening of the second evaporator interface part 117 being in communication with the fifth sub-flow passage 1002b, the opening of the eighth interface part 118 being in communication with the sixth sub-flow passage 1003a, and the opening of the first evaporator interface part 119 being in communication with the seventh sub-flow passage 1003b; the second internal interface part 11012 including a tenth interface part 120 and an eleventh interface part 121, the opening of the tenth interface part 120 being in communication with the eighth sub-flow passage 1004a, and the opening of the eleventh interface part 121 being in communication with the ninth sub-flow passage 1004b.
[0075] In one working mode, for example, the refrigeration mode, the first valve component 131 is closed, the third valve component 132 is opened, the second valve component 133 is closed, the first throttling component 134 is opened, the second throttling component 135 is closed, the first high-temperature flow channel G1 includes the first sub-flow channel 1001a, the third sub-flow channel 1001c, and the fourth sub-flow channel 1002a, the second high-temperature flow channel G2 includes the sixth sub-flow channel 1003a, the first low-temperature flow channel L1 includes the seventh sub-flow channel 1003b, and the second low-temperature flow channel L2 includes the fifth sub-flow channel 1002b. The refrigerant flowing out of the compressor flows into the first connecting piece 10 from the opening of the first compressor interface part 111, flows through the first sub-flow channel 1001a and the third sub-flow channel 1001c, and flows out of the opening of the second interface part 114. The refrigerant flows through the first heat exchanger, the liquid accumulator 15, and the heat exchange device 14, reenters the sixth sub-flow channel 1003a, is throttling expanded by the first throttling component 134, flows through the seventh sub-flow channel 1003b, reenters the heat exchange device 14 from the opening of the first evaporator interface part 119, and enters the fifth sub-flow channel 1002b from the opening of the second evaporator interface part 117 after absorbing heat in the heat exchange device 14. The absorbed heat can be the heat of the battery, which is equivalent to refrigerating the battery. Another part of the refrigerant in the sixth sub-flow channel 1003a flows out of the opening of the external evaporator interface part 122, is throttling expanded by the external expansion valve, flows into the third heat exchanger, and absorbs heat in the third heat exchanger to refrigerate the passenger compartment. The refrigerant flowing out of the third heat exchanger reflows to the heat exchange device 14 from the opening of the external heat exchange interface part 1415 of the heat exchange device 14, mixes in the heat exchange device 14, enters the fifth sub-flow channel 1002b from the opening of the second evaporator interface part 117, and flows out of the connecting piece 10 from the opening of the second compressor interface part 112 to reflow to the compressor. The second valve component 133 is closed, so that the fourth sub-flow channel 1002a in the first high-temperature flow channel G1 is not communicated with the fifth sub-flow channel 1002b in the second low-temperature flow channel L2.
[0076] In another working mode, for example, the heating mode, the first valve component 131 is opened, the third valve component 132 is closed, the second valve component 133 is opened, the first throttling component 134 is closed, the second throttling component 135 is opened, the first high-temperature flow channel G1 includes the first sub-flow channel 1001a and the second sub-flow channel 1001b, the second high-temperature flow channel G2 includes the eighth sub-flow channel 1004a, the first low-temperature flow channel L1 includes the ninth sub-flow channel 1004b, and the second low-temperature flow channel L2 includes the third sub-flow channel 1001c, the fourth sub-flow channel 1002a, and the fifth sub-flow channel 1002b. The third valve component 132 is closed, so that the first sub-flow channel 1002a in the first high-temperature flow channel G1 is not communicated with the third sub-flow channel 1001c in the second low-temperature flow channel L2.
[0077] As shown in FIGS. 11-13, the seventh sub-flow passage 1003b is farther away from the first connecting piece 101 than the fifth sub-flow passage 1002b, and the ninth sub-flow passage 1004b is also farther away from the first connecting piece 101 than the fifth sub-flow passage 1002b, which further reduces the heat transfer of the first high-temperature flow passage G1 on the first connecting piece 101 to the first low-temperature flow passage L1. In other words, the first low-temperature flow passage L1 and the second low-temperature flow passage L2 are arranged along the arrangement direction of the first connecting piece 101 and the second connecting piece 102, and the first low-temperature flow passage L1 is farther away from the first connecting piece 101 than the second low-temperature flow passage L2.
[0078] It should be noted that the fluid control assembly can realize different heat management modes by switching the control components, and a flow passage belongs to different flow passage types in different modes. In this case, if a flow passage is referred to as a high-temperature flow passage, it means that in a specific working mode, the flow passage is a high-temperature flow passage. For example, the fourth sub-flow passage 1002a is the first high-temperature flow passage G1 in the cooling mode and the second low-temperature flow passage L2 in the heating mode. The second switching component 13012 can adjust the communication relationship of the second low-temperature flow passage L2. This means that when the second switching component 13012 is open, the flow passage connected to the installation cavity corresponding to the second switching component 13012 can flow and flow out of the evaporator. In some heat management systems, the internal condenser and the external condenser are connected in series, the outlet of the compressor is connected to the inlet of the internal condenser, the outlet of the internal condenser is connected to the first compressor interface part 111 of the fluid control assembly. It should be explained that in the cooling mode, the internal condenser does not work, which is equivalent to a channel. In this case, the temperature of the refrigerant at the outlet of the internal condenser is close to the temperature of the refrigerant at the outlet of the compressor, so the interface part of the fluid control assembly connected to the outlet of the internal condenser can be called the first compressor interface part 111, and the flow passage between the outlet of the internal condenser and the inlet of the external condenser can also be called the first high-temperature flow passage G1. In the heating mode, the internal condenser works, and the external condenser does not work. The flow passage between the outlet of the internal condenser and the inlet of the external condenser is called the second high-temperature flow passage G2.
[0079] As shown in FIG. 5, the communication assembly 16 includes a plurality of split communication pipes, and the communication assembly 16 has a plurality of communication channels, the communication channels passing through both ends of the communication pipes.

Specifically, the second communication pipe 1602 includes a first sub-communication pipe 1602a, a second sub-communication pipe 1602b, and a third sub-communication pipe 1602c. One end of the first sub-communication pipe 1602a is connected with the second evaporator interface part 117, and the other end is connected with the fourth heat exchange interface part 1414, so that the fifth sub-flow passage 1002b and the second heat exchange passage 1402 are communicated. One end of the second sub-communication pipe 1602b is connected with the eighth interface part 118, and the other end is connected with the second heat exchange interface part 1412, so that the sixth sub-flow passage 1003a and the first heat exchange passage 1401 are communicated.

Such a structure plays a role of pre-positioning when the connecting piece 10 and the bearing frame 3 are bolted, and after bolted, the relative displacement of the connecting piece 10 and the bearing frame 3 can be further prevented.
