[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] It should be noted that if the present application involves directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition, etc. between the components in a certain posture, and if the certain posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly.

[0043] In addition, if the description of "first", "second" and the like is involved in the embodiments of the present application, the description of "first", "second" and the like is only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first", "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included at least one of the features. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears throughout the text, it means that the three parallel schemes are included, for example, "A and / or B" includes A scheme, or B scheme, or A and B scheme. In addition, the technical solutions of each embodiment can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of the ordinary skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, nor in the protection scope required by the present application.

[0044] In the related art, the thermal management device of the vehicle needs to control the temperature in the cabin, the seat temperature, the electric drive temperature, the battery temperature and the like. The thermal management device mainly includes water kettle, water pump, heat exchanger, valve body and the like. Generally speaking, these components are independently or partially independently arranged, and then heat is transmitted through the pipeline. Due to the increasing richness of the temperature control mode of the vehicle, the target of the pipe needs to transmit heat is more and more, which leads to the increasing number of pipe fittings, not only causes the complex arrangement in the front engine compartment, increases the arrangement difficulty of the front engine compartment, but also occupies too much space of the front engine compartment, reduces the space utilization rate of the front engine compartment, and further leads to the too small available volume of the spare box in the front engine compartment. For example, in an existing embodiment, the front heat dissipation module of the thermal management device is vertically placed, and the volume of the spare box is 22L.

[0045] Therefore, the present application proposes a thermal management device, which aims to optimize the layout of the thermal management device in the front engine compartment and improve the space volume of the spare box.

[0046] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, the thermal management device is applied to a vehicle, the thermal management device comprises: a functional module, the functional module at least includes a heat exchange module 400 and a water side module 300; a front heat dissipation module 200, the front heat dissipation module 200 is located at the front side of the functional module and extends downward relative to the functional module, and the rear end face of the front heat dissipation module 200 and the front side of the functional module form a containing space; wherein the containing space is at least for installing the integrated pipeline 10 connecting the heat exchange module 400 and the water side module 300.

[0047] The heat exchange module 400 for heat exchange and the water side module 300 for cooling liquid distribution are integrated into a functional module in the embodiments of the present application. The front heat dissipation module 200 is arranged at the front side of the functional module in the vehicle length direction, and the front heat dissipation module 200 is inclined to extend forward and downward at a position adjacent to the functional module, thereby shortening the length of the pipeline connecting the front heat dissipation module 200 and the functional module. At the same time, the pipeline for heat exchange between the heat exchange module 400 and the water side module 300 in the functional module can also be integrated and arranged in the accommodation space formed between the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200 and the front side of the functional module. In this way, the integration degree of the thermal management device is improved, the pipeline can be integrated, a better partition arrangement is formed, the space utilization and compactness of the front engine compartment are improved, the arrangement of components in the front engine compartment is facilitated, and more space is left for the front trunk. Moreover, the inclined arrangement of the front heat dissipation module 200 increases the installation space on the upper part, thereby greatly increasing the volume of the front trunk on the upper part, and improving the user experience.

[0048] It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 7, the heat exchange module 400 includes at least two heat exchangers and a liquid storage dryer 420 and the like for refrigerant flow, to form a refrigeration circuit with the compressor 700, and to absorb and discharge heat on the refrigeration circuit through the refrigerant. The cooling liquid respectively passes through the pipelines connected to the two heat exchangers to be heated and cooled, to promote stable operation of the refrigeration circuit and maintain temperature control balance. As shown in FIGS. 4, 12 and 13, the water side module 300 includes a water valve 310 and a water pump 320 connected in series. The interfaces of the water valve 310 or the water pump 320 are connected to the heat exchange module 400 and each heat exchange structure through the integrated pipeline 10, to control the flow direction of the cooling liquid. In a more abundant vehicle temperature control mode, the volume of the thermal management device can be reduced, thereby reducing the occupation of the front engine compartment space and improving the volume of the front trunk or the utilization rate of the front engine compartment space. The front heat dissipation module 200 is connected to the water side module 300, for the flow of the high-temperature cooling liquid after heat exchange, and when external air flows into the front heat dissipation module 200, the heat of the cooling liquid can be dissipated to the outside of the vehicle, to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the Y direction of the embodiments of the present application represents the width direction of the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the "vehicle width direction"), the X direction represents the length direction of the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the "vehicle length direction"), and the Z direction represents the height direction of the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the "vehicle height direction"). In the embodiments of the present application, the directional indications such as up, down, front, rear, left and right are all referred to the normal use state of the vehicle.

[0049] The heat exchange structure to be exchanged includes a heat exchange structure on an electric drive, a heat exchange structure on a vehicle machine, a heat exchange structure on a battery, or a heat exchange structure at a seat, etc. Correspondingly, the heat management device includes two different definition ranges. In the heat management device of an embodiment, the heat management device only includes a front heat dissipation module 200, a water side module 300, a heat exchange module 400, a compressor 700, etc., and can realize integrated assembly. Within this range, the integrated pipeline 10 is used to transport refrigerant or coolant between the front heat dissipation module 200, the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400, and the compressor 700, thereby realizing heat management interaction. Alternatively, in the heat management device of another embodiment, the heat management device includes the heat exchange structure of the electric drive, the vehicle machine, the battery, or the seat in addition to the above-mentioned front heat dissipation module 200, water side module 300, heat exchange module 400, compressor 700, etc. The integrated pipeline 10 not only transports refrigerant or coolant for the front heat dissipation module 200, the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400, and the compressor 700, but also transports coolant or refrigerant between the water side module 300 or the heat exchange module 400 and the heat exchange structure of the electric drive, the vehicle machine, the battery, or the seat. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the heat management device is not integrally provided with a water kettle, and the water kettle can be adaptively adjusted according to various vehicle models. In this way, the heat management device can be produced separately and assembled independently from the water kettle, thereby improving the applicability of the heat management device. Of course, in another embodiment, the heat management device can be integrally provided with a water kettle to centrally assemble mass-produced vehicle models, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0050] Without loss of generality, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the front heat dissipation module 200 is located at the front side of the functional module and extends downward from the functional module, thereby releasing the upper space of the front heat dissipation module 200 to improve the space of the front trunk. The front end face of the front heat dissipation module 200 is the front lower side end face of the front heat dissipation module 200, and the rear end face of the front heat dissipation module 200 is the rear upper side end face of the front heat dissipation module 200. A containing space is formed between the rear end face of the front heat dissipation module 200 and the functional module, which provides available installation space for the integrated pipeline 10. At the same time, the containing space is also located at the approximate middle position between the water side module 300, the heat exchange module 400, and the front heat dissipation module 200, which not only shortens the length of the pipeline and improves the integration of the heat management device, but also makes the pipeline arrangement in the front engine compartment more regular, improves the space utilization of the engine compartment, and facilitates the installation and later maintenance of the components in the front engine compartment, and reduces the weight and cost of the whole vehicle. Specifically, in the embodiment, the volume of the front trunk is increased from the existing 22L to 70L, and the weight of the whole vehicle is reduced by at least 1kg.

[0051] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, the front heat dissipation module 200 is inclined at an angle a with respect to the horizontal plane, and a satisfies: 30°≤a≤60°. It should be noted that the lower part of the front heat dissipation module 200 needs to be provided with a part of the heat dissipation pipeline, so that the cooled coolant can dissipate heat outside the vehicle on the front heat dissipation module 200, and the part of the heat dissipation pipeline is connected to the lower part of the front heat dissipation module 200, and the lower part of the front heat dissipation module 200 is also provided with other components such as electric drive and battery. The front heat dissipation module 200 is inclined to make full use of the space in the front engine compartment and release the upper space of the front heat dissipation module 200 as much as possible to provide a larger installation space for the front trunk. Among them, limiting the inclination angle a of the front heat dissipation module 200 with respect to the horizontal plane to be between 30° and 60° can better balance the upper space and the lower space of the front heat dissipation module 200, that is, to ensure that the front heat dissipation module 200 does not interfere with the components below, and also makes the space of the front trunk above larger, thereby adapting to various vehicle models and improving the generalization degree of the front heat dissipation module 200. Specifically, the inclination angle a of the front heat dissipation module 200 with respect to the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 60°, and in this embodiment, a is set to 43°. Of course, in other embodiments, according to different vehicle models, the inclination angle a of the front heat dissipation module 200 with respect to the horizontal plane can also be less than 30°, such as 20°, 25°, etc., or greater than 60°, such as 70°, 80°, etc.

[0052] Further, the inclination angle a of the front heat dissipation module 200 with respect to the horizontal plane is between 40° and 45°, that is, the inclination angle a of the front heat dissipation module 200 with respect to the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 40° and less than or equal to 45°, thereby balancing the lower space and the upper space of the front heat dissipation module 200, making the space of the front trunk above the front heat dissipation module 200 larger, and can effectively adapt to the space layout of the front engine compartment of various vehicle models, and improve the applicability of the front heat dissipation module 200.

[0053] Without loss of generality, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the functional module integrates components such as the heat exchange module 400 and the water side module 300, and is distributed along the Y direction of the vehicle, so that part of the pipeline extending along the X direction is changed to extend along the Y direction. At the same time, the functional module is moved backward in the vehicle length direction by a certain distance, thereby increasing the front side space of the functional module, providing an inclined space for the front heat dissipation module 200, ensuring the stability of the front heat dissipation module 200 placed obliquely, and increasing the reliability of the increased upper front spare tank volume. Appropriately, the functional module is also moved upward in the vehicle height direction by a certain position, forming a height difference between the functional module and the front heat dissipation module 200, that is, the front heat dissipation module 200 is adjacent to the lower part of the functional module and extends obliquely towards the front and down, realizing the adjustment of the components at the lower part of the thermal management device, and further providing an adjustable space for the inclination of the front heat dissipation module 200. In addition, in an embodiment, the upper part of the front heat dissipation module 200 is provided with a wind guide structure, the wind guide structure is provided with a wind guide opening towards the front of the vehicle, and a wind guide channel communicating with the wind guide opening is formed in the wind guide structure. The wind guide channel can reduce the difficulty of the front side airflow entering the wind guide structure, and guide the airflow to fully cover the heat dissipation piece 210 on the front heat dissipation module 200 with small resistance, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the front heat dissipation module 200.

[0054] In an embodiment, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the functional module further includes a compressor 700, and the heat exchange module 400, the compressor 700 and the water side module 300 are sequentially distributed along the Y direction of the vehicle. It can be understood that the multiple modules of the functional module are distributed and extended along the Y direction, and the compressor 700 is arranged in the middle of the Y direction. The vibration source is arranged in the middle of the Y direction, which balances the vibration of the vehicle and reduces the noise. Among them, the heat exchange module 400 or the water side module 300 can correspond to any one of the left driver's cabin or the right driver's cabin, that is, for the vehicle type in which the driving position is on the left side or the right side, the integrated form of the functional module does not need to be changed, which enhances the universality of the functional module and improves the assembly efficiency of the vehicle. In addition, the water side module 300 and the heat exchange module 400 are arranged on both sides of the Y direction, which facilitates the upgrading or maintenance of the components of the water side module 300 or the components of the heat exchange module 400 in the process of iterative upgrading or maintenance of the later vehicle model, and reduces the difficulty of later maintenance. For the front engine compartment space, as described above, the modules of the functional module are distributed along the Y direction, which reduces the space occupied in the X direction of the vehicle, increases the size of the front spare tank in the X direction, provides installation space for the inclination of the front heat dissipation module 200, and further increases the size of the front spare tank in the Z direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the heat exchange module 400, the water side module 300 and the compressor 700 can be distributed in the Y direction, distributed in the X direction, or one of the heat exchange module 400 and the water side module 300 is distributed in the Z direction with the compressor 700.

[0055] Without loss of generality, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the water-side module 300 is also provided with a heater 600 adjacent to the side of the vehicle body, and the heater 600 is located obliquely above the side of the water-side module 300 away from the compressor 700 along the Y direction. It can be understood that the heater 600 is used to warm the interior of the vehicle to supplement the heat generated by the refrigeration circuit on the compressor 700, and to provide a heat source for the heating of the vehicle, especially the heating of the air conditioner. Therefore, the heater 600 is arranged adjacent to the side of the vehicle body, which facilitates the replacement and installation of the heater 600. At the same time, the heater 600 can also use the water pump 320 and the valve body on the water-side module 300 to guide the cooling liquid, so as to deliver the heated cooling liquid to the predetermined position, thereby reducing the length of the connecting pipeline and improving the integration of the components in the front compartment. Of course, in other embodiments, the heater 600 can also be arranged adjacent to the compressor 700 or the heat exchange module 400.

[0056] Further, in the present embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, the compressor 700 extends along the X direction of the vehicle, and the compressor 700 is opposite to the dash panel 540 of the vehicle with a certain interval. It can be understood that the compressor 700 extends along the X direction of the vehicle, that is, the axial direction of the compressor 700 extends along the X direction of the vehicle, which reduces the space occupied by the compressor 700 in the Y direction and improves the compactness of the functional modules in the Y direction. In addition, the compressor 700 is opposite to the dash panel 540 of the vehicle with a certain interval, which ensures that there is a buffer space between the compressor 700 and the dash panel 540, which can not only reduce the noise generated by the compressor 700 and transmitted to the passenger compartment, but also buffer the displacement of the compressor 700 when the vehicle collides, so as to avoid the compressor 700 colliding with the dash panel 540 and invading the passenger compartment, thereby protecting the safety of the driver and passengers. Without loss of generality, the buffer space between the compressor 700 and the dash panel 540 is also provided with components such as a direction machine column or a pedal, thereby improving the compactness of the components in the front compartment. Of course, in other embodiments, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 can also be distributed along the X direction, and the compressor 700 is located on the side of the heat exchange module 400 close to the dash panel 540.

[0057] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 are arranged adjacently and integrally disassembled. As described above in the description of the water side module 300, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 distributed along the Y direction of the functional module, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 are arranged adjacently. The compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 can be integrally disassembled in a way that the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 are directly connected into one, or the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 are connected into one through a support, or the shell of the compressor 700 and the shell of the heat exchange module 400 are integrally formed, thereby forming the integration of the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400. The compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 are arranged integrally, which facilitates the assembly of the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 in the process of assembling the modules to form the functional module. Moreover, the refrigerant needs to flow between the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 to form a refrigeration circuit, and the integration of the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 reduces the length of the connecting pipeline between the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400, thereby reducing the occupancy of the front engine compartment space. It should be noted that, with the improvement of environmental awareness, the types of refrigerants are gradually changing, and the requirements for refrigerants in different regions are also different. At this time, it is inevitable to replace the refrigerant to meet the environmental requirements and local requirements. Here, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 are integrally assembled and located at the position of the front engine compartment close to the side of the vehicle body. When the refrigerant is replaced, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 can be replaced as a whole, reducing the modification of the components in the front engine compartment. Further, the position of the functional module in the present application is arranged in a high position, i.e., the height of the functional module in the present application is higher than that of the thermal management module in the related art in the Z direction, which facilitates maintenance operation and reduces the difficulty of replacing the integrated compressor 700 and heat exchange module 400. Specifically, in an embodiment, some regions require the use of R290 (propane) for refrigerants. Since the parameters of the heat exchange module and the compressor adapted to R290 are not compatible with the existing compressor and heat exchange module, the compressor and the heat exchange module are integrated and replaced as a whole to replace and assemble R290 with minimal modification, thereby meeting the local requirements. Of course, in other embodiments, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400 can be arranged separately or spaced apart.

[0058] In an embodiment, referring to FIGS. 4-7, the heat exchange module 400 includes a condenser 430, a liquid storage dryer 420, an evaporator 410, a subcooler 440, and a heat exchange runner plate 450. The evaporator 410, the subcooler 440, and the condenser 430 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. In the X direction, the heat exchange runner plate 450 is located at the rear side of the condenser 430, the subcooler 440, and the evaporator 410, and the liquid storage dryer 420 is arranged at the rear side of the heat exchange runner plate 450. In this way, the heat exchange runner plate 450 is used to realize the sequential communication of the condenser 430, the liquid storage dryer 420, the subcooler 440, and the evaporator 410, and the compressor 700 is connected to the condenser 430 and the evaporator 410 respectively to form a refrigeration circuit. That is, the heat exchange runner plate 450 is used to guide the flow of refrigerant, which improves the compactness of the heat exchange module 400, optimizes the center of gravity of the heat exchange module 400, reduces the space occupied by the heat exchange module 400 in the X and Y directions, and provides a moving space for the rear movement of the functional module, thereby ensuring the stability and compactness of the components in the front cabin. Due to the rich heat management modes of the vehicle, the heat exchange efficiency of the coolant and the refrigerant will be different under different heat management modes, and the amount of refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit will also be different. The liquid storage dryer 420 can temporarily store part of the refrigerant until the evaporator 410 needs it, so that the flow of refrigerant is adapted to the heat exchange working condition of the vehicle, and the stable operation of the air conditioning system is ensured. At the same time, after passing through the condenser 430, the refrigerant is easily mixed with gaseous refrigerant. After being filtered by the liquid storage dryer 420, the refrigerant can recover to a saturated state, so as to exchange heat with the coolant of the water side module 300 in the evaporator 410, effectively cool the coolant, improve the heat exchange efficiency, and promote the energy efficiency of the heat management device. In addition, the heat exchange module 400 is provided with a heat exchange interface 460 on the condenser 430, the evaporator 410, or the heat exchange runner plate 450, which faces the accommodation space, so that the pipeline for heat exchange between the heat exchange module 400 and the compressor 700 or the water side module 300 can be installed in the accommodation space, improving the compactness of the heat management device, and thereby leaving space for other components such as the trunk.

[0059] For the water side module 300, in the present embodiment, please refer to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the water side module 300 comprises a water valve 310, a water pump 320 and a water side flow channel plate 330, etc. The water valve 310 and the water pump 320 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the water side flow channel plate 330, which can balance the center of gravity of the water side module 300 and ensure the stability of the water side module 300 in the front cabin. The water side flow channel plate 330 extends along the Y direction, so that the opposite sides of the water side flow channel plate 330 are distributed along the X direction and are parallel to each other, and the water side interfaces 340 are arranged on the opposite sides. The water side interface 340 of the water side flow channel plate 330 close to the front heat dissipation module 200 is used to communicate with the pipeline from the heat exchange module 400, the pipeline of the front heat dissipation module 200 or the heat exchange structure of the front side of the functional module which needs to be temperature controlled, and the water side interface 340 of the water side flow channel plate 330 away from the front heat dissipation module 200 is used to communicate with the heat exchange structure of the battery, the electric drive or the seat, thereby reducing the length of the pipeline and improving the compactness. Of course, in other embodiments, the water valve 310 and the water pump 320 can also be on the same side of the water side flow channel plate 330.

[0060] In an embodiment, please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the interfaces of the heat exchange module 400 and the water side module 300 are arranged on the side facing the accommodation space, and the joints of the integrated pipeline 10 extend in the same direction towards the side of the functional module. It can be understood that, referring to the description of the above-mentioned water side interface 340 and heat exchange interface 460, the functional module is on the side of the integrated pipeline 10 away from the front heat dissipation module 200. The integrated pipeline 10 has a part in the accommodation space, and also has a joint bent from the front heat dissipation module 200 and extending towards the functional module, so that the joint of the integrated pipeline 10 can extend in the same direction towards the side of the functional module, thereby improving the installation convenience of the integrated pipeline 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the joint part of the integrated pipeline 10 can also be arranged as a flexible pipe, and the technician can flexibly insert the joint of the integrated pipeline 10 into the corresponding interface of the functional module by using the universal adjustment function of the flexible pipe, so as to improve the installation convenience of the integrated pipeline 10.

As described above, the front heat dissipation module 200 is located at the front side of the functional module and extends downward from the front side of the functional module, which can ensure that the accommodation space can stably accommodate the integrated pipeline 10. In this way, the integrated pipeline 10 is arranged on the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200, and the front heat dissipation module 200 supports the integrated pipeline 10, which ensures the stability of the installation of the integrated pipeline 10 and fully utilizes the accommodation space, so that the pipeline arrangement in the front compartment is more regular, the space utilization of the front compartment is improved, and the installation and later maintenance of the components in the front compartment are facilitated. In addition, the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200 is arranged at an acute angle with the front side of the functional module. As shown in FIG. 9, the angle between the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200 and the front side of the functional module is β, which is an acute angle. The plane on which the integrated pipeline 10 is located is parallel to the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200, so that the angle between the plane on which the integrated pipeline 10 is located and the front side of the functional module is also an acute angle, which reduces the bending degree of the plug connector 120 of the integrated pipeline 10, ensures the structural stability of the integrated pipeline 10, and facilitates the connection of the integrated pipeline 10 and the functional module. The integrated pipeline 10 can be connected to the front heat dissipation module 200 through a damping structure to avoid hard collision between the integrated pipeline 10 and the front heat dissipation module 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the integrated pipeline 10.

[0062] For the integrated pipeline 10, in an embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1-3, 10 and 11, the integrated pipeline 10 includes a pipeline member 100 and a plug connector 120. The pipeline member 100 includes a plurality of pipe bodies 110 which are integrally arranged and not connected to each other, and the plug connector 120 is connected to the port of each pipe body 110 to connect the functional module by plugging. In this way, the plurality of pipe bodies 110 are integrally formed into the pipeline member 100, and the plug connector 120 is arranged at the port of the pipe body 110. During assembly, the pipeline member 100 is first installed at a predetermined position in the thermal management device, and then the plug connector 120 is connected to the functional module by plugging. In this way, the pipeline member 100 is arranged in a centralized manner, which avoids staggered arrangement of the pipeline member 100 and reduces the complexity of the pipeline member 100 distribution.

In addition, the plug connector 120 at the port of the pipe body 110 is quickly connected to the functional module by plugging, which facilitates the communication between the pipe body 110 and the functional module. During the assembly of the thermal management device, the installation difficulty of the pipeline is reduced, thereby reducing the installation cost.

[0063] The plurality of pipe bodies 110 can be integrally arranged by an integral molding manner to form the pipe body 100. Alternatively, the pipe body 100 is divided into two half pipe bodies, and the two half pipe bodies are combined to form the pipe body 100 by welding, melting, bonding or screwing. Similarly, the plug connector 120 can be integrally molded with the pipe body 100, or the plug connector 120 is separately molded with the pipe body 100, and then connected with the pipe body 100 to form the integrated pipeline 10. It can be understood that the integrated arrangement means that the plurality of pipe bodies 110 are integrally arranged, which can be integrally molded or formed by a plurality of components surrounding the passage of the pipe body 110, so that the integrated pipeline 10 can be integrally disassembled.

[0064] In an embodiment, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the pipe body 100 is integrally molded by blow molding. It can be understood that the pipe body 100 is formed by one-time molding, which improves the molding efficiency of the pipe body 100 and the connection stability between the plurality of pipe bodies 110, thereby ensuring the integrity of the pipe body 100. In addition, the pipe body 100 formed by blow molding has a lighter weight, which reduces the weight of the heat management device and meets the improvement trend of light weight. Of course, in other embodiments, the pipe body 100 can be divided into two half pipe bodies, each half pipe body is integrally molded by blow molding, and the two half pipe bodies are combined to form the pipe body 100 by welding. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the pipe body 100 and the plug connector 120 are integrally molded by injection molding, which improves the molding efficiency.

[0065] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the pipe body 110 comprises a first pipe segment 111 and a second pipe segment 112 connected to each other. The first pipe segments 111 of the plurality of pipe bodies 110 are arranged in parallel, and the second pipe segments 112 are connected to the insertion heads 120. The first pipe segments 111 of different pipe bodies 110 are in the same plane, and the second pipe segments 112 are connected to the end of the first pipe segments 111 and extend towards the corresponding interfaces of the functional modules, and then the insertion heads 120 are arranged on the second pipe segments 112. In this way, when the integrated pipe 10 is installed, the first pipe segments 111 are installed at the predetermined positions, wherein the rows of first pipe segments 111 are arranged on the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200, i.e. the rows of first pipe segments 111 are arranged obliquely on the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200, and the insertion heads 120 arranged on the second pipe segments 112 are opposite to the corresponding interfaces of the functional modules. When the insertion heads 120 are inserted into the corresponding interfaces, the installation of the integrated pipe 10 is completed, and at the same time, the plurality of channels for heat exchange of the functional modules are also connected. Of course, in other embodiments, the first pipe segments 111 of different pipe bodies 110 can be arranged in multiple layers, and each layer has a plurality of first pipe segments 111 arranged in parallel. Alternatively, according to the shape of the rear end surface of the front heat dissipation module 200 and the accommodation space between the water side module 300, the compressor 700 and the heat exchange module 400, the plurality of first pipe segments 111 are arranged in a manner suitable for the accommodation space to improve compactness. Alternatively, the plurality of pipe bodies 110 are arranged in a circular manner to form a bundled cylinder, and a protective cylinder is further sleeved on the outer periphery.

[0066] Further, in the present embodiment, referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the pipe body 100 further comprises a fixed connection part 130 connected to two adjacent first pipe segments 111.

In this way, the center of gravity of the pipe body piece 100 can be better balanced to ensure the installation stability of the pipe body piece 100. At the same time, it is avoided that the stress is uneven during the flow of the refrigerant or the cooling liquid in the pipe body 110, which causes the internal stress of the pipe body piece 100 to be large, and further causes the damage of the pipe body piece 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the plurality of fixed connection portions 130 can also be arranged at an angle, and the extension planes of adjacent fixed connection portions 130 are staggered.

Without loss of generality, the outer end 121 is provided with a female cavity for accommodating the interface, the clamping portion 122 is arranged on the peripheral wall of the female cavity and has the ability to elastically deform in the radial direction, and the step surface is formed on the side wall of the female cavity facing the opening and is arranged in a ring shape. Correspondingly, the outer periphery of the interface of the functional module is provided with a clamping ring, so that when the plug-in connector 120 is connected to the interface on the functional module, the outer end 121 can be connected to the interface without adjusting the plug-in connector 120 to a specific posture, thereby improving the operation convenience of connecting the plug-in connector 120 to the interface of the functional module.
