[0030] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. For the purpose of clarity, technical terms in the description of the present application are used as generally accepted in the technical field to which the present application belongs. Unless specifically defined in the description of the present application, technical terms used in the description of the present application should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application provide a heat management device 1, which can be applied to a heat management system, and the heat management system can be a vehicle heat management system, such as a new energy vehicle heat management system.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, in order to reduce the occupied space of the heat management system, the embodiments of the present application provide a heat management device 1, which includes a cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, a compressor 200, a refrigerant side fluid assembly 3, and a pipeline assembly 400. The compressor 200 and the refrigerant side fluid assembly 3 can be installed on the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. Optionally, the refrigerant side fluid assembly 3 includes a heat exchange assembly 300, and the flow path corresponding to the heat exchange assembly 300 is communicated with the flow path in the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. At this time, the cooling liquid system includes the flow path in the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 and the corresponding flow path in the heat exchange assembly 300. Compared with the case that the compressor 200, the heat exchange assembly 300, and the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 are separately arranged and communicated through a connecting pipe, the heat management device 1 of the embodiments of the present application has a smaller occupied space, which is beneficial to improve the integration of the heat management device 1.

[0033] Further, the embodiment of the present application also provides a cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, which comprises at least two flow channel plates 107. In the embodiment of the present application, the at least two flow channel plates 107 comprise a first flow channel plate 13, a second flow channel plate 11 and a third flow channel plate 14, and the adjacent flow channel plates 107 are sealingly arranged, for example, the adjacent flow channel plates 107 are sealingly arranged by welding. By sealingly arranging the adjacent flow channel plates 107 by welding, not only the sealing performance of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 can be achieved, but also the structural strength of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 can be improved, thereby providing better support for the installation of the compressor 200 and the refrigerant-side fluid assembly 3. The cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 has a cooling liquid passage 101, in which the cooling liquid can flow, and the at least two flow channel plates 107 are sealingly arranged to define the cooling liquid passage 101. The heat exchange assembly 300 has a first heat exchange passage 340 and a second heat exchange passage 350, and the first heat exchange passage 340 and the second heat exchange passage 350 are fluidly isolated. The cooling liquid passage 101 is in communication with the first heat exchange passage 340, and the flow path in the compressor 200 is in communication with the second heat exchange passage 350. The pipeline assembly 400 is in communication with the compressor 200 and at least a part of the second heat exchange passages 350, and / or the pipeline assembly 400 is in communication with the second heat exchange passages 350 in different heat exchange assemblies 300, thereby facilitating the flow of the refrigerant among the above-mentioned components.

[0034] In order to install the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 on the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, in some embodiments, the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 comprises a first mounting portion 110 and a second mounting portion 120 which are arranged at intervals and are fixedly connected as an integral structure. Optionally, the first mounting portion 110 and the second mounting portion 120 can be located on the same flow channel plate 107, or the first mounting portion 110 and the second mounting portion 120 are located on different flow channel plates 107 and are sealingly arranged by welding. The compressor 200 is fixedly arranged on the first mounting portion 110, and the refrigerant-side fluid assembly 3 is fixedly arranged on the second mounting portion 120. Optionally, the heat exchange assembly 300 is fixedly arranged on the second mounting portion 120. Specifically, the thermal management device 1 can comprise a fastener 52, and at least one of the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 can be connected to the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 by the fastener 52. At least one of the inlet of the compressor 200 and the outlet of the compressor 200 is in communication with the second heat exchange passage 350 through the pipeline assembly 400. In a specific implementation, the compressor 200 has a first inlet 210 and a first outlet 220 which are in communication, and at least one of the first inlet 210 and the first outlet 220 is in communication with the second heat exchange passage 350 through the pipeline assembly 400. Through the above arrangement, the communication relationship between the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 can be achieved.

[0035] Since the compressor 200 generates vibration when working, generally, the connecting pipe between the compressor and the heat exchange assembly includes metal pipes at both ends and rubber pipes between the metal pipes to compensate for the vibration difference between the compressor and the heat exchange assembly, at this time, the structure of the connecting pipe is complex and the cost is high. In the embodiment of the present application, by installing the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 on the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 can realize synchronous vibration or approximately synchronous vibration through the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, which reduces the vibration difference between the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300, and is beneficial to reduce the deformation degree of the pipeline assembly 400. Compared with the case that the pipeline assembly needs to have a certain deformability when there is a large vibration difference between the compressor and the heat exchange assembly, the thermal management device 1 of the embodiment of the present application is beneficial to simplify the complexity of the pipeline assembly 400.

[0036] Please further refer to FIGS. 1 to 7, in some embodiments, the first mounting portion 110 and the second mounting portion 120 are located on the same side of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, at this time, the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 are located on the same side of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, which is beneficial to simplify the complexity and length of the pipeline assembly 400 between the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300.

[0037] The pipeline assembly 400 includes a first connecting block 41, a second connecting block 42 and a connecting pipe 43, the first connecting block 41 is connected with the heat exchange assembly 300, the second connecting block 42 is connected with the compressor 200, for example, the first connecting block 41 is welded with the heat exchange assembly 300 to realize sealing, and the second connecting block 42 is welded with the compressor 200 to realize sealing. The connecting pipe 43 is connected between the first connecting block 41 and the second connecting block 42, the connecting pipe 43 is a one-piece structure or includes at least two sub-connecting pipes, the sub-connecting pipes are sealingly arranged, and the material of the connecting pipe 43 includes metal. By arranging the first connecting block 41 and the second connecting block 42 to be connected with the corresponding structural member, it is convenient to increase the connection strength between the pipeline assembly 400 and the corresponding structural member, and it is convenient to insert the connecting pipe 43 into the first connecting block 41 and the second connecting block 42 and sealingly arrange, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the pipeline assembly 400. In the embodiment of the present application, since the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 can realize synchronous vibration or approximately synchronous vibration through the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, the connecting pipe 43 can include a one-piece metal pipe structure, compared with the combined pipe structure of the metal pipe and the rubber pipe, the connecting pipe 43 of the embodiment of the present application has lower cost and can reduce the volume of the pipeline assembly 400.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, at least part of the connecting pipe 43 comprises a straight pipe segment 431 and a bent pipe segment 432, the straight pipe segment 431 and the bent pipe segment 432 are in one-piece structure, and at least part of the projection of the straight pipe segment 431 and / or at least part of the projection of the bent pipe segment 432 is located between the projection of the compressor 200 and the projection of the heat exchange assembly 300 along the axial projection of the compressor 200. By the above arrangement, it is beneficial to reduce the length of the connecting pipe 43, and thus it is beneficial to reduce the amount of vibration transmitted by the compressor 200 through the connecting pipe 43. And by arranging the straight pipe segment 431 and the bent pipe segment 432, it is convenient to communicate the port of the compressor 200 and the connecting port of the heat exchange assembly 300 which are located at different positions in space. In the embodiments of the present application, the port of the compressor 200 comprises the inlet and outlet of the compressor, and the connecting port of the heat exchange assembly 300 comprises the inlet and outlet of the heat exchange assembly 300.

[0039] Or as shown in FIG. 6, in other embodiments, in order to better absorb the vibration transmitted by the compressor 200, at least part of the connecting pipe 43 comprises a wave segment 433, and at least part of the projection of the wave segment 433 is located between the projection of the compressor 200 and the projection of the heat exchange assembly 300 along the axial projection of the compressor 200. Optionally, at least part of the wave segment 433 is designed as a curved surface.

[0040] In order to meet the working requirements of the thermal management system, in some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly 300 comprises a first heat exchange assembly 310 and a second heat exchange assembly 320, and optionally, the first heat exchange assembly 310 can be a condenser and the second heat exchange assembly 320 can be an evaporator. At least part of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and at least part of the second heat exchange assembly 320 are arranged on the same side of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, and one end of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and one end of the second heat exchange assembly 320 are arranged in a staggered manner, and the other end of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the other end of the second heat exchange assembly 320 can be arranged in a flush manner. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the length of the first heat exchange assembly 310 is smaller than the length of the second heat exchange assembly 320, one side of the length direction of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and one side of the length direction of the second heat exchange assembly 320 are arranged opposite to each other, and the other side of the length direction of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the other side of the length direction of the second heat exchange assembly 320 are arranged in a staggered manner, which is beneficial to the arrangement of other components and improves the compactness of the thermal management device 1.

[0041] In a specific implementation, the projection of the first heat exchange assembly 310 is at least partially located within the second heat exchange assembly 320, and the projection of the compressor 200 is located within the second heat exchange assembly 320. At this time, the part of the compressor 200 is compactly arranged on one side of the first heat exchange assembly 310. One of the connecting ports of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the first outlet 220 of the compressor 200 are in communication through the pipeline assembly 400. One of the connecting ports of the second heat exchange assembly 320 and the first inlet 210 of the compressor 200 are in communication through the pipeline assembly 400. Through the above arrangement, it is beneficial to improve the compactness of the heat management device 1, while it is beneficial to shorten the length of the pipeline assembly 400 between the compressor and the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the second heat exchange assembly 320, and thus it is beneficial to reduce the transmission of the pipeline assembly 400 to the amplitude of the compressor 200.

[0042] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, in some embodiments, the pipeline assembly 400 includes a first pipeline assembly 401 and a second pipeline assembly 402. The first pipeline assembly 401 communicates one of the connecting ports of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the first outlet 220 of the compressor 200. The second pipeline assembly 402 communicates one of the connecting ports of the second heat exchange assembly 320 and the first inlet 210 of the compressor 200. The first pipeline assembly 401 includes a first connecting pipe 43 with a flow cross-sectional area smaller than that of the first connecting pipe 43 included in the second pipeline assembly 402. Since the first outlet 220 of the compressor 200 outputs high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant, through the above arrangement, it is beneficial to reduce the pressure drop of the fluid flowing from the first outlet 220 into the first heat exchange assembly 310, or the fluid pressure flowing from the first outlet 220 into the first heat exchange assembly 310 can be improved, thereby facilitating the working performance of the heat management system 1.

[0043] In order to facilitate the installation and sealing of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the second heat exchange assembly 320 and the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, in some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly 300 further includes a connecting plate 330. The connecting plate 330 is sealingly connected with the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. At least two of the first heat exchange assembly 310, the second heat exchange assembly 320, and the compressor 200 are arranged side by side on the side of the connecting plate 330 away from the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. The connecting plate 330 has a hole 331. The first heat exchange assembly 310 and / or the second heat exchange assembly 320 arranged on the connecting plate 330 are in communication with the cooling liquid channel 101 through the corresponding hole 331, which is beneficial to realize the flow of the cooling liquid between the first heat exchange assembly 310, the second heat exchange assembly 320, and the cooling liquid channel 101.

[0044] In a specific implementation, the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the second heat exchange assembly 320 are both mounted on the connecting plate 330, and the installation and fixation of the heat exchange assembly 300 are realized by the connection of the connecting plate 330 and the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. Compared with the installation and fixation of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the second heat exchange assembly 320 and the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, the embodiment of the present application is beneficial to reduce the number of installation parts on the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 and facilitate the simplification of the structure of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. In other embodiments, the compressor 200 can also be fixedly connected with the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 through the connecting plate 330. In this paper, the fixed arrangement or fixed connection between two components can be direct contact connection or fixed arrangement between two components, or indirect fixed connection between two components through other components.

[0045] In some embodiments, the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 includes a second flow channel plate 11, which defines part of the wall of the cooling liquid passage 101, and the first installation part 110 is located on the second flow channel plate 11.

The end of the compressor 200 can be supported and arranged through the support part 111, and the compressor 200 and the first installation part 110 are connected through the fastener 52, and part of the fastener 52 is located in the mounting hole 114. Through the above arrangement, the structural strength of the second flow channel plate 11 at the position corresponding to the first installation part 110 can be improved, and in turn the connection strength between the compressor 200 and the second flow channel plate 11 can be improved.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the second installation part 120 has a connecting hole 122, and the refrigerant side fluid assembly 3 is connected with the second installation part 120 through a rigid connecting piece, and part of the rigid connecting piece is located in the connecting hole 122. Optionally, the rigid connecting piece can be a bolt structure, and the connection of the refrigerant side fluid assembly 3 and the second installation part 120 through the rigid connecting piece improves the connection strength between the refrigerant side fluid assembly 3 and the second installation part 120.

Specifically, the mounting shell 230 has a receiving cavity 231, and the electric control board 240 is located in the receiving cavity 231.

[0048] In combination with FIGS. 5-11, in some embodiments, the first mounting portion 110 has a heat dissipation opening K1, the cooling liquid passage 101 communicates with the heat dissipation opening K1, the heat dissipation opening K1 is located on the outer surface of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, the compressor 200 includes a mounting shell 230 and an electric control board 240, the mounting shell 230 has a receiving cavity 231, the electric control board 240 is located in the receiving cavity 231, the mounting shell 230 is sealingly connected with the first mounting portion 110, and the mounting shell 230 covers the heat dissipation opening K1, the cooling liquid passage 101 communicating with the heat dissipation opening K1 and the receiving cavity 231 can be in heat transfer arrangement through the mounting shell 230. Through the above arrangement, the electric control board 240 of the compressor 200 can be conveniently cooled by the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. In this document, the heat transfer arrangement means that heat can be transferred between two structures.

[0049] Specifically, in some embodiments, the support portion 111 has a heat dissipation opening K1, at least part of the projection of the electric control board 240 is located inside the support portion 111, part of the cooling liquid passage 101 communicates with the heat dissipation opening K1 or the heat dissipation opening K1 is part of the cooling liquid passage 101, and the cooling liquid can flow out of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 through the heat dissipation opening K1.

[0050] To prevent the cooling liquid from flowing out of the heat management device 1 through the heat dissipation opening K1, the heat management device 1 further includes a first sealing member 511 clamped between the mounting shell 230 and the first mounting portion 110.
