Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4 illustrate a thermal management module 90 in one embodiment of the utility model, including a refrigerant plate 1, a coolant plate 2, and a receiver drier 3. The first end 31 of the receiver drier 3 is connected to and communicates with the refrigerant plate 1, wherein the refrigerant in the refrigerant plate 1 is able to enter the receiver drier, be gas-liquid separated in the receiver drier 3, and be dried. As shown in fig. 1, the first end 31 of the receiver drier 3 may be connected to the refrigerant plate 1 by screws. As shown in fig. 4, the first end 31 of the receiver drier 3 has a joint, and the refrigerant plate 1 has an interface portion, wherein the joint of the first end 31 interfaces with the interface portion of the refrigerant plate 1 so that the first end 31 of the receiver drier 3 communicates with the refrigerant plate 1. With continued reference to fig. 4, the first end 31 has two connectors, one serving as a refrigerant inlet of the receiver drier 3 and the other serving as a refrigerant outlet of the receiver drier 3.

According to the above technical solution, since the first end 31 of the receiver drier 3 is connected and communicated with the refrigerant plate 1; the second end 32 of the reservoir dryer 3 is connected to the coolant plate 2, so that the reservoir dryer 3 can be mounted relatively stably, and the thermal management module 90 provided by the utility model also has the advantage of stable structure.

In a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the receiver-drier 3 is cylindrical in shape, having a central axis X-X parallel to the refrigerant plate 1; the first end 31 and the second end 32 are distributed along the central axis X-X. This approach results in a compact thermal management module 90.

With continued reference to fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the thermal management module 90 further includes a connector 4; both sides of the refrigerant plate 1 are respectively provided with a refrigerant plate 2 and a liquid storage dryer 3; the connection member 3 is connected to the coolant plate 2 at one side of the coolant plate 1, and extends from the coolant plate 2 to the other side of the coolant plate 1 to be connected to the receiver drier 3. This approach results in a compact thermal management module 90. In a specific embodiment, the refrigerant plate 1 and the coolant plate 2 are arranged parallel to each other. The refrigerant plate 1 and the coolant plate 2 are connected to each other, for example, by screws. The refrigerant plate 1 may be made of a metal material, and the coolant plate 2 and the connection member 4 may be made of a plastic material. In an embodiment not shown, the coolant plate 2 and the connection 4 may be integrally formed.

As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, the connection 4 is connected to the circumferential edge 20 of the coolant plate 2. In this embodiment, the connection 4 may pass over the edge of the refrigerant plate 1 from one side of the refrigerant plate 1 so as to extend to the other side of the refrigerant plate 1. To increase the compactness of the product, the peripheral edge 20 has a notch 20a for receiving the connector 4. Screw holes for mounting the connector 4 may be provided in the notch 20a.

With continued reference to fig. 2, the refrigerant plate 1 has a through portion 1a that allows the connection 4 to pass through. The through-going part 1a may be a recess as shown in fig. 2, or a through-hole with a circumferential closed edge, not shown in the drawings.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the connection member 4 has a mount 40 on one side of the refrigerant plate 1; mount 40 has a mounting opening 40a and a mounting cavity 40b; the second end 32 fits into the mounting cavity 40b from the mounting opening 40 a. This solution can improve the stability of the installation of the reservoir dryer 3. Specifically, the peripheral wall of the mounting cavity 40b may be an interference fit with the second end 32 of the reservoir dryer 3, and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 40b may abut against the second end 32 of the reservoir dryer 3.
