Referring to fig. 1-2, the disclosed embodiments provide a heat dissipating assembly for an electronic control module, including a partition 100 and a heat exchanger 200. The first medium passage 101 is arranged in the partition plate 100, the second medium passage 201 is arranged in the heat exchanger 200, the first medium passage 101 is communicated with the second medium passage 201 to form a closed-loop medium circulation flow path, and the heat exchanger 200 can be arranged on one side of the electronic control module 530 and used for radiating heat of the electronic control module 530.
With the heat dissipation assembly for an electronic control module provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the first medium passage 101 is communicated with the second medium passage 201, a closed-loop medium circulation flow path is formed, and a refrigerant can flow in the first medium passage 101 and the second medium passage 201. The heat of the electronic control module 530 is conducted to the heat exchanger 200 and exchanges heat with the refrigerant through the second medium passage 201, the refrigerant further flows towards the second medium passage 201, the heat of the second medium passage 201 is conducted to the partition plate 100, the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced due to heat dissipation of the partition plate 100, and the refrigerant flows into the first medium passage 101 again. The partition plate 100 is a conventional fitting in the outdoor unit 520 of the air conditioner, not only reduces the space occupied in the outdoor unit 520, but also has a larger heat dissipation area and a better heat dissipation effect, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530.
It will be appreciated that in the case where the heat radiating assembly for an electronic control module is assembled for use in an air conditioner, the partition 100 can separate the fan 510 and the compressor inside the cabinet within the outdoor unit casing 520.
As shown in connection with fig. 3, the partition 100 may optionally be provided with a vent 110. In this way, the air flow is facilitated to pass through the ventilation holes 110, so that more air flow contacts the partition plate 100 to exchange heat, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the partition plate 100 is improved. And the weight of the partition 100 is relatively light, reducing the weight of the air conditioner as a whole.
Alternatively, the vent 110 is a rectangular hole-like structure. Thus, since the partition 100 is installed in the outdoor unit casing 520 to be used in cooperation therewith, the length of the partition 100 is relatively long. The rectangular vent holes 110 can be adapted to the shape of the partition plate 100, so that the vent holes 110 can be opened relatively long, the flow rate of the air flow is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the partition plate 100 is improved.
Optionally, the vent 110 is provided in plurality. Thus, the air flow rate passing through the partition plate 100 is increased by the plurality of vent holes 110, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the partition plate 100 is improved. And further reduces the weight of the partition 100 and reduces the weight of the air conditioner as a whole.
Alternatively, the plurality of vent holes 110 are sequentially arranged in the horizontal direction. Like this, a plurality of ventilation holes 110 can be comparatively orderly set up on baffle 100 for the air current that passes a plurality of ventilation holes 110 is comparatively even, and the radiating effect of baffle 100 different positions is also comparatively even.
Optionally, a heat dissipation plate 120 is provided along the hole edge of the vent hole 110, and the heat dissipation plate 120 extends along the flow direction of the air flow at the vent hole 110. In this way, the heat dissipation plate 120 increases the contact area with the air flow, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the separator 100 is improved. And the heat dissipation plate 120 extends along the flow direction of the air flow at the vent hole 110, so that the risk of blocking the air flow by the heat dissipation plate 120 is reduced, and the flow rate of the air flow is ensured.
Alternatively, the heat dissipation plate 120 is integrally formed with the partition plate 100 by punching. In this way, the strength of the connection between the heat dissipation plate 120 and the partition plate 100 is relatively high, reducing the risk of separation of the heat dissipation plate 120 from the partition plate 100.
Optionally, the partition 100 has embedded therein a first heat exchange coil 130, and the first heat exchange coil 130 defines therein a first medium passage 101. Thus, the first heat exchange coil 130 is embedded in the partition plate 100, so that a circulation cavity is not required to be machined in the partition plate 100, and the production cost and difficulty of the partition plate 100 are reduced.
Alternatively, the diameter of the first heat exchange coil 130 is greater than or equal to two-thirds the thickness of the baffle 100 and less than or equal to 1.5 times the thickness of the baffle 100. Thus, in the case that the first heat exchange coil 130 is smaller than two-thirds of the thickness of the partition plate 100, the diameter of the first heat exchange coil 130 is too small, the excessive flow of the refrigerant in the first heat exchange coil 130 is relatively small, the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchanger 200 and the partition plate 100 is low, and the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530 is poor. In the case where the diameter of the first heat exchange coil 130 is greater than 1.5 of the thickness of the partition plate 100, the diameter of the first heat exchange coil 130 is excessively large, the height of the first heat exchange coil 130 protruding from the surface of the partition plate 100 is high, the space inside the outdoor unit casing 520 is excessively occupied, and the production cost of the first heat exchange coil 130 is high. Therefore, the diameter of the first heat exchange coil 130 is greater than or equal to two thirds of the thickness of the partition plate 100, and the range of less than or equal to 1.5 times of the thickness of the partition plate 100 is reasonable, the coolant overflow rate in the first heat exchange coil 130 is relatively large, the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530 is good, and the height of the first heat exchange coil 130 protruding out of the surface of the partition plate 100 is low.
Optionally, the diameter of the first heat exchange coil 130 is equal to the thickness of the baffle 100. Thus, the coolant in the first heat exchange coil 130 has relatively larger excess flow, the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530 is better, the first heat exchange coil 130 does not protrude out of the surface of the partition plate 100, the effective contact area between the first heat exchange coil 130 and the partition plate 100 is larger, and the heat exchange effect between the first heat exchange coil 130 and the partition plate 100 is better.
Alternatively, the heat exchanger 200 is installed at a higher level than the partition plate 100. In this way, since the partition plate 100 is fixedly disposed inside the outdoor unit casing 520 to separate the fan 510 and the compressor, the heat exchanger 200 is positioned higher such that the continuous space on both sides of the partition plate 100 is larger, thereby facilitating the arrangement of other components of the outdoor unit casing 520.
It will be appreciated that if the heat exchanger 200 is installed at a height of the middle of the partition 100, the heat exchanger 200 may separate the space of the upper half and the space of the lower half of the partition 100, so that the continuous spaces on both sides of the partition 100 are blocked, and the layout of other components in the outdoor unit casing 520 is inconvenient.
Optionally, the heat exchanger 200 includes a cooling plate 210 and a second heat exchange coil 220. The cooling plate 210 is installed at one side of the electronic control module 530, and the second heat exchange coil 220 is embedded inside the cooling plate 210, and a second medium passage 201 is defined inside. In this way, the surface of the cooling plate 210 is relatively flat, and can better contact with the electronic control module 530, so that the contact area is increased, and the heat exchange effect of the cooling plate 210 and the electronic control module 530 is improved, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530.
Alternatively, the cooling plate 210 is made of a copper material. Thus, the cooling plate 210 made of copper has better heat conduction performance, and improves the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530.
Optionally, the thickness of the cooling plate 210 is greater than the diameter of the second heat exchange coil 220. Thus, the second heat exchange coil 220 is embedded in the cooling plate 210, the heat exchange area between the second heat exchange coil 220 and the cooling plate 210 is relatively large, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.
As shown in fig. 4, optionally, a refrigerant pump 300 is disposed between the partition plate 100 and the heat exchanger 200, and the refrigerant pump 300 is respectively in communication with the first medium passage 101 and the second medium passage 201. In this way, the refrigerant pump 300 increases the flow speed of the refrigerant in the first medium passage 101 and the second medium passage 201, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the partition plate 100 and the heat exchanger 200, and improving the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530.
Illustratively, the refrigerant is water or other liquid heat exchange medium, and the refrigerant pump 300 is a water pump.
It will be appreciated that, since the partition 100 is installed at a relatively low position, by providing the refrigerant pump 300, the refrigerant at a low position in the partition 100 can be made to better overcome the gravity flow.
Alternatively, the input end of the first medium passage 101 is communicated with the output end of the second medium passage 201 through a connecting pipe 400, and the input end of the second medium passage 201 is communicated with the output end of the first medium passage 101 through another connecting pipe 400. In this way, the connection pipe 400 can increase the connection distance between the first medium passage 101 and the second medium passage 201, i.e., increase the distance between the heat exchanger 200 and the partition plate 100. The heat exchanger 200 can be more flexibly arranged in the outdoor cabinet 520, and the difficulty of arrangement is reduced.
Alternatively, the refrigerant pump 300 is disposed on one connection pipe 400. In this way, the refrigerant pump 300 is installed on the connection pipe 400 to increase the speed of the refrigerant flowing in the first medium passage 101 and the second medium passage 201, thereby improving the efficiency of heat exchange between the partition plate 100 and the heat exchanger 200 and improving the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530.
Specifically, the refrigerant pump 300 is located between the input end of the second medium passage 201 and the output end of the first medium passage 101.
In some embodiments, an air conditioner includes a heat dissipating assembly for an electronic control module of any of the embodiments described above.
With the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the air conditioner includes the heat dissipation assembly for an electronic control module according to any one of the embodiments described above, since the first medium passage 101 is communicated with the second medium passage 201, a closed-loop medium circulation flow path is formed, and a refrigerant can flow in the first medium passage 101 and the second medium passage 201. The heat of the electronic control module 530 is conducted to the heat exchanger 200 and exchanges heat with the refrigerant through the second medium passage 201, the refrigerant further flows towards the second medium passage 201, the heat of the second medium passage 201 is conducted to the partition plate 100, the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced due to heat dissipation of the partition plate 100, and the refrigerant flows into the first medium passage 101 again. The partition plate 100 is a conventional fitting in the outdoor unit 520 of the air conditioner, not only reduces the space occupied in the outdoor unit 520, but also has a larger heat dissipation area and a better heat dissipation effect, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6 in combination, alternatively, a fan 510 is provided on one side of the partition plate 100 for the heat dissipation assembly of the electronic control module. In this way, the fan 510 rotates, so that the airflow on one side of the partition board 100 accelerates, and the airflow on the other side of the partition board 100 increases the flow rate of the airflow passing through the partition board 100 to the fan 510, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the partition board 100 and the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530.
Optionally, the heat exchanger 200 for the heat dissipation assembly of the electronic control module is located above the fan 510. In this way, since the air flows to the fan 510 after heat exchange by the partition plate 100, and the fan 510 is located below the heat exchanger 200, the risk that the air flow with higher temperature at the fan 510 contacts the heat exchanger 200 for heat exchange is reduced.
Optionally, the air conditioner further includes an outdoor cabinet 520. Inside the outdoor unit casing 520 are provided a heat radiating assembly for an electronic control module and a fan 510, and the partition plate 100 is located between the fan 510 and the compressor. In this way, the fan 510 and the compressor are separated into two separate areas by the partition 100, reducing the risk of the two areas interfering with each other.
Optionally, an electronic control module 530 is disposed in the outdoor unit casing 520, and a bottom sidewall of the electronic control module 530 abuts against the heat exchanger 200. In this way, the location of the electronic control module 530 is relatively high, reducing the risk of the higher temperature air flow at the fan 510 coming into contact with the electronic control module 530 for heat exchange.
Optionally, a bottom sidewall of the electronic control module 530 abuts the cooling plate 210. In this way, the location of the electronic control module 530 is relatively high, reducing the risk of the higher temperature air flow at the fan 510 coming into contact with the electronic control module 530 for heat exchange.
Specifically, the electronic control module 530 is located above the fan 510.
Optionally, the area of the cooling plate 210 is less than or equal to the area of the bottom sidewall of the electronic control module 530, and is greater than or equal to one half the area of the bottom sidewall of the electronic control module 530. In this way, in the case that the area of the cooling plate 210 is larger than the area of the bottom sidewall of the electronic control module 530, the risk that the cooling plate 210 protrudes from the side of the electronic control module 530 is large, and the protruding portion of the cooling plate 210 is not in effective contact with the electronic control module 530, which is easy to cause waste. In the case that the area of the cooling plate 210 is smaller than half of the area of the bottom sidewall of the electronic control module 530, the area of the cooling plate 210 is too small, the heat exchange area with the electronic control module 530 is too small, and the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530 is poor. Therefore, the area of the cooling plate 210 is smaller than or equal to the area of the bottom side wall of the electronic control module 530, and the range of the area of the bottom side wall of the electronic control module 530 is more reasonable, the risk that the cooling plate 210 protrudes out of the side surface of the electronic control module 530 is smaller, the heat exchange area with the electronic control module 530 is relatively larger, and the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530 is relatively better.
Optionally, the area of the cooling plate 210 is less than or equal to two-thirds of the area of the bottom sidewall of the electronic control module 530. In this way, the risk that the cooling plate 210 protrudes out of the side surface of the electronic control module 530 is smaller, the heat exchange area with the electronic control module 530 is relatively larger, and the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530 is relatively better.
As shown in fig. 7, alternatively, a side wall of the outdoor unit casing 520 is provided with a handle groove 521. In this way, the handle groove 521 provides a grip for the outdoor unit casing 520, thereby facilitating the handling and installation of the outdoor unit casing 520.
Optionally, an air inlet 522 is provided on a side wall of the outdoor unit casing 520 provided with the handle groove 521, and the air inlet 522 is communicated with the compression engine room. Thus, air outside the outdoor unit casing 520 can enter the compressor compartment through the air inlet hole, and form convection with air in the compressor compartment, thereby facilitating heat dissipation of the compressor.
Optionally, the vent 110 communicates with the compression nacelle. In this way, the air outside the outdoor unit casing 520 enters the compression cabin through the air inlet 522 and then enters the fan 510 through the air vent 110, and the flow speed is faster, so that the heat dissipation effect of the compressor and the partition board 100 is increased, and the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control module 530 is improved.
Optionally, the air inlet 522 is provided in plurality. Thus, the number of the air inlets 522 is large, the excessive flow of the air outside the outdoor unit casing 520 into the outdoor unit casing 520 is relatively large, and the heat dissipation effect is better.
Specifically, the plurality of air inlets 522 are located at a lower half of a side wall of the outdoor unit casing 520.
Alternatively, the air inlets 522 are sequentially arranged in the vertical direction. In this way, the plurality of air inlets 522 can be orderly arranged on the outdoor case 520, so that the integrity of the outdoor case 520 is better.
Optionally, a handle slot 521 is disposed above the air inlet 522. Thus, the handle groove 521 is relatively high to facilitate the handling and installation of the outdoor unit casing 520.
