[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, and the adjacent flow channel plates 107 are sealingly arranged, for example, the adjacent flow channel plates 107 are arranged by welding. By 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, and better support for the installation of the compressor 200 and the refrigerant-side fluid assembly 3 is provided. The cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100 has a cooling liquid passage 101, and the cooling liquid can flow through the cooling liquid passage 101, and the sealing arrangement between the at least two flow channel plates 107 defines the cooling liquid passage 101.

Through the above arrangement, the communication relationship between the compressor 200 and the heat exchange assembly 300 is facilitated.

[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.

[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 in turn, 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.

[0041] 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 can be 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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 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.

[0045] 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 mounting and fixing 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 mounting and fixing of the first heat exchange assembly 310 and the second heat exchange assembly 320 to the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, the embodiment of the present application is beneficial to reduce the number of mounting portions on the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100, and is convenient for simplifying the structure of the cooling liquid flow channel assembly 100. In other embodiments, the compressor 200 can also be fixedly connected to 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.

Optionally, the rigid connecting piece can be a bolt structure, and the connection of the refrigerant-side fluid assembly 3 to the second mounting portion 120 through the rigid connecting piece improves the connection strength between the refrigerant-side fluid assembly 3 and the second mounting portion 120.

The cooling liquid channel 101 communicating with the heat dissipation channel 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, heat transfer arrangement means that heat can be transferred between two structures. The mounting shell 230 can be composed of metal, such as aluminum, and the heat transfer coefficient of the mounting shell 230 can be 121 W / (m·k)-151 W / (m·k).
