Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a thermal management integrated module in the prior art, and fig. 2 is an assembly schematic view of the thermal management integrated module in the prior art.

As can be seen from fig. 1 and 2, the existing integrated module at least comprises an actuator unit 11, a multi-way valve 12, a rubber gasket 13, a flow passage plate 14 and a water pump unit 15, and is assembled from these five components. The water pump units 15 are disposed in the corresponding mounting grooves on the runner plate 14 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the water pump units 15 are in sealing connection with the runner plate 14. The multi-way valve 12 is sealingly disposed on the surface of the flow field plate 14 by a rubber gasket 13. The actuator unit 11 is provided on the multi-way valve 12, and is connected to a spool of the multi-way valve 12. Further, the flow channel plate 14 is internally provided with flow channels connected to different water pump units 15 and external interfaces, and the connection relation between each waterway flow channel in the flow channel plate 14 and the water pump unit 15 is regulated through the multi-way valve 12 to realize the water loop switching function of various modes.

As can be seen from the figure, the multi-way valve 12 is a separate component in the existing integrated module, and needs to be assembled with the runner plate 14 to form the water side integrated module together; there are several disadvantages:

(1) the weight is relatively large, and the weight of the whole vehicle is not good;

(2) the multi-way valve 12 is assembled with the flow channel to increase a sealing structure, the module has leakage risk, and the reliability of the system is reduced to a certain extent;

(3) the multi-way valve 12 is a separate component and is relatively expensive.

To improve the above technical problems, an integrated thermal management module with a multi-way valve function is provided in the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 3, 4 and 5, the present embodiment provides an integrated thermal management module 20 with a multi-way valve function, which includes a flow channel plate assembly 100, an actuator 200, a valve core assembly 300 and a plurality of water pumps 400;

the valve cartridge assembly 300 is movably disposed in the flow field plate assembly 100;

the valve core assembly 300 is connected with the water flow path; the actuator 200 is connected to the cartridge assembly 300 to control the conduction or closure between the various water passages.

Such an integrated thermal management module 20 with multi-way valve function is achieved by disposing the valve cartridge assembly 300 directly in the flow field plate assembly 100. Further, the valve core assembly 300 is matched with the water flow channels in the flow channel plate assembly 100, and the valve core assembly 300 is driven by the executing piece to perform the action so as to complete the conduction or closing between different preset water flow channels, thereby realizing the multidirectional conduction function of the independent multi-way valve 12 device in the prior art. The integrated thermal management module 20 with multi-way valve functionality eliminates the valve body and other components of the existing multi-way valve 12 device and concentrates the functions of the valve body within the flow field plate assembly 100. The sealing connection of the valve body and the flow channel plate 14 and the mounting piece of the valve body and the flow channel plate 14 in the prior art are reduced while the multidirectional conduction function is ensured, so that the volume of the thermal management module is remarkably reduced, and the weight of the whole thermal management module is reduced; meanwhile, fewer structures can reduce the arrangement positions of the sealing structures, so that the leakage risk of the thermal management module is avoided, and the cooling effect and the heat energy recycling rate of the thermal management module are improved. In summary, the integrated thermal management module 20 with the multi-way valve function has the advantages of simpler structure, more convenient manufacture, fewer parts and better sealing performance, thus having remarkable economic benefit.

With continued reference to fig. 1-8, further structural details of the integrated thermal management module 20 with multi-way valve functionality are provided.

The flow field plate assembly 100 is generally rectangular in shape. The actuator 200 and the plurality of water pumps 400 are all disposed on top of the flow field plate assembly 100, and the valve cartridge assembly 300 is disposed on the flow field plate assembly 100. The actuator 200 is disposed above the spool assembly 300.

As can be seen from the figure, the plurality of water flow channels provided in the flow field plate assembly 100 include a plurality of water inlet flow channels 101 and a plurality of water outlet flow channels 102. The water inlet channel 101 is a water flow entering the valve core assembly 300, and the water outlet channel 102 is a water flow exiting the valve core assembly 300.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the water flow direction in the water flow channel (including the water inlet channel 101 and the water outlet channel 102, which will not be described in detail below) is not limited to a fixed flow direction, but may be adjusted or interchanged according to specific usage scenarios.

Specifically, the integrated thermal management module 20 with multi-way valve functionality includes three water pumps 400. The flow field plate assembly 100 has a first predetermined long side and a first predetermined short side, the first predetermined long side and the first predetermined short side being disposed adjacent to each other.

Of the three water pumps 400, two water pumps 400 are sequentially arranged along a first preset long side, and one water pump 400 is arranged at an included angle between the first preset long side and the first preset short side; another water pump 400 is arranged along a first preset short side. The valve cartridge assembly 300 is arranged in a direction parallel to the first preset long side.

Regarding the specific arrangement of the water pump 400, those skilled in the art should be able to make reasonable selections and designs according to the actual needs, and there is no specific limitation herein, and the positions and numbers of the water pumps 400 may be adjusted to suit different practical situations, and are merely examples herein, and are not limited in particular.

Further, in the present embodiment, the water pump 400 and the valve core assembly 300 have a plurality of different connection manners. Specific:

the water outlet of the water pump 400 is connected with one end of the valve core assembly 300 through the water inlet flow channel 101;

the water inlet of the water pump 400 is connected with one end of the valve core assembly 300 through the water outlet flow passage 102;

the water inlet and outlet of the water pump 400 are directly connected to other thermal management components outside the module through the inlet and outlet of the module, and then connected to the water inlet flow channel 101 and the water outlet flow channel 102 through other inlets and outlets of the module.

With respect to the specific arrangement of the water flow channels, those skilled in the art should be able to make reasonable selections and designs to suit different practical situations, without specific limitation, and are only examples herein.

As can be seen in fig. 3, 4 and 5, the flow field plate assembly 100 has a receiving chamber 110, and water flow channels are connected to the receiving chamber 110; the valve cartridge assembly 300 is movably disposed in the receiving chamber 110 to control the conduction or closure of different preset water flow paths.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the water inlet flow channel 101 and the water outlet flow channel 102 are both connected to the accommodating chamber 110; the valve core assembly 300 is movably disposed in the accommodating cavity 110 to control the connection or disconnection of the preset water inlet channel 101 and the preset water outlet channel 102.

Further, in the present embodiment of the present utility model, the integrated thermal management module 20 having the function of a multi-way valve further includes a valve cover 21; the valve cover 21 is disposed on the flow field plate 14, and the valve cover 21 is connected with the accommodating chamber 110 to form a closed chamber. The valve cover 21 and the receiving chamber 110 enclose a closed space in which the valve cartridge assembly 300 can freely move. By adopting the arrangement mode, a valve body, a sealing structure between the valve body and the flow passage plate 14 and the like when the multi-way valve 12 mechanism is independently arranged in the prior art can be omitted, and the connection relation between the valve core control flow passage and the water pump 400 is reserved to realize the function of switching the water circuits in various modes. In a word, the thermal management module reduces the overall weight of the module, realizes light weight, reduces the volume of the module and is beneficial to the arrangement of the whole vehicle; parts are reduced, and the cost is reduced; the sealing structure between the multi-way valve 12 and the runner plate 14 is reduced, the leakage risk is reduced, and the product reliability is provided;

further, in the present embodiment of the present utility model, the integrated thermal management module 20 with the multi-way valve function further includes a module controller 22; the actuator 200 and the water pump 400 are both connected to the module controller 22, and the module controller 22 is configured to control the operating states of the actuator 200 and the water pump 400.

It should be noted that, in the prior art, the water pump 400 and the actuator 200 integrated with the thermal management module are controlled independently. That is, the water pump 400 is controlled by the water pump 400 controller to independently control the water pump 400 to deliver the liquid, and the actuator 200 is controlled by the actuator controller to move the valve core to adjust the operation state of the multi-way valve 12. In such an arrangement, the water pump 400 controller and the execution controller all need to occupy additional space of the module, and more controllers can cause difficult wiring and complicated operation and control process.

In the embodiment, the control of the actuator 200 and the water pump 400 is integrated in one controller, so that the cost of the actuator 200 and the water pump 400 is reduced; the product volume is reduced, the wiring harness arrangement difficulty is reduced, and the whole vehicle arrangement and installation of the controller are facilitated; improving EMC performance of the product; and according to different control function requirements, the controller software is adjusted, so that the universality of the product is improved.

It should be noted that the controller may add more device controls (different numbers of water pumps 400, multi-way valves 12, electronic expansion valves, etc.) according to specific needs.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the valve cartridge assembly 300 includes only one multi-way valve cartridge 310 and one ball valve cartridge 320. Wherein the multi-way chamber 111 has a plurality of water inlets and a plurality of water outlets to close and connect different water inlet channels 101 and different water outlet channels 102; that is, the multiple-pass chamber 111 is connected to the multiple water inlet channels 101 and the multiple water outlet channels 102, respectively. The ball valve chamber 112 and the multi-way chamber 111 are directly provided with a communication port 130 for communicating the ball valve chamber 112 with the multi-way chamber 111, and the communication port 130 is the water inlet of the ball valve chamber 112; the ball valve chamber 112 has two water outlets to connect the two water outlet flow passages 102.

The spherical ball valve core 320 is rotated to adjust the connection or disconnection of the communication port 130 and different water outlets; the cylindrical multi-way valve core 310 can selectively communicate different water inlets with the communication port 130 and different water inlets with different water outlets through rotation. The cooperation of the multi-way valve element 310 and the ball valve element 320 can realize various adjustment modes so as to improve the cooling and heat dissipation capacity of the thermal management system.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the valve core assembly 300 may further include a multi-way valve core 310 and a plurality of ball valve cores 320 to realize more adjustment modes; further, the multi-way chamber 111 and the ball valve chamber 112 may be separated from each other to control different water channels separately; that is, the number of the multi-way valve cartridge 310 and the ball valve cartridge 320 is not limited, nor is the connection mode between the multi-way chamber 111 and the ball valve chamber 112, and those skilled in the art should be able to reasonably select and design according to actual needs to adapt to different actual situations, which are only examples herein.

In other embodiments, the water inlet of the ball valve cartridge 320 is not limited to the communication port 130 between the ball valve chamber 112 and the manifold chamber 111 directly, but may be other water inlets separately provided, which is only one example.

Still further, in other embodiments, a valve plate may be provided at the communication port 130 to selectively connect or disconnect the multi-pass chamber 111 and the ball valve chamber 112.

Alternatively, the axis of rotation of the multi-way valve cartridge 310 and the axis of rotation of the ball valve cartridge 320 are parallel to each other. Such an arrangement can further reduce the volume of the cartridge assembly 300, thereby increasing the space efficiency of the integrated thermal management module 20 with multi-way valve functionality, while also achieving weight reduction objectives.
