The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the utility model.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, according to the thermal management device 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the thermal management device 100 may include a refrigerant plate 10 and a plurality of support frames 20.

The refrigerant plate 10 may have a refrigerant flow channel 11 therein, the refrigerant flow channel 11 may be used for flowing a refrigerant in the thermal management device 100, the plurality of support frames 20 may be respectively connected to the refrigerant plate 10 and configured to be connected to the frame 200 to position the refrigerant plate 10, at least two of the plurality of support frames 20 may be in a split structure, so that the plurality of support frames 20 may be arranged to improve the installation strength of the thermal management device 100, thereby improving the impact resistance of the thermal management device 100. In addition, since the at least two support frames 20 are of a split structure, the vibration superposition between the two support frames 20 can be reduced, the vibration superposition is prevented from being transmitted to the refrigerant plate 10 to generate larger vibration, a certain damping effect can be achieved, in other words, the vibration transmission between the thermal management device 100 and the whole vehicle can be effectively reduced, meanwhile, the machining error can be avoided, and the insufficient assembly precision of the support frames 20 can be caused.

Specifically, the refrigerant plate 10 may be provided with various heat management components, such as a heat exchanger, a valve, etc., and the heat management assembly may be in communication with the refrigerant flow channel 11 of the refrigerant plate 10 to implement the heat management function of the heat management device 100, and the plurality of support frames 20 connected to the refrigerant plate 10 may be respectively connected to the frame 200 of the vehicle during the driving of the vehicle to provide support for the heat management device 100, and may also improve the mounting strength of the heat management device 100 on the frame 200, thereby improving the shock resistance of the heat management device 100.

In addition, by connecting the plurality of support frames 20 to the refrigerant plate 10 (in some specific examples, the plurality of support frames 20 may be screwed to the refrigerant plate 10), the size chain intermediate ring may be reduced (i.e., the connecting members between the refrigerant plate 10 and the plurality of support frames 20 may be reduced) compared to connecting the plurality of support frames 20 to other thermal management components, thereby ensuring both the installation strength and the installation accuracy, and thus improving the structural stability of the thermal management device 100.

Therefore, according to the thermal management device 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, the thermal management device can be mounted on the vehicle frame 200 through the plurality of support frames 20, and the impact resistance of the thermal management device 100 can be improved through the supporting and buffering effects of the support frames 20, and meanwhile, as at least two of the plurality of support frames 20 are of a split type structure, the vibration transmission between the thermal management device 100 and the vehicle frame 200 can be effectively reduced, so that the NVH of the whole vehicle is improved and the service life of the thermal management device is prolonged.

The structure of the frame 200 connected to the plurality of support frames 20 in the present utility model may be configured to be parallel to each other or may be configured in other forms. For example, as shown in fig. 1-7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the plurality of support brackets 20 may include a first support bracket 21 and a second support bracket 22.

The first support frame 21 may have a first mounting structure, the second support frame 22 may have a second mounting structure, and an included angle greater than 0 ° is formed between an axis of the first mounting structure and an axis of the second mounting structure, so that the thermal management device 100 may be mounted in multiple directions to improve an impact resistance of the thermal management device 100.

Referring to FIG. 5, the axis of the first mounting structure may be A-A and the axis of the second mounting structure may be B-B.

In detail, the first support frame 21 may be connected to the refrigerant plate 10 and the vehicle frame 200, respectively, wherein the first mounting structure and the vehicle frame 200 may be connected to each other in an axial direction of the first mounting structure so that an impact force may be transmitted in the axial direction of the first mounting structure; likewise, the second support frame 22 may be connected to the refrigerant plate 10 and the vehicle frame 200, respectively, wherein the second mounting structure and the vehicle frame 200 may be connected to each other along an axial direction of the second mounting structure, so that an impact force may be transmitted along the axial direction of the second mounting structure. The axis of the first mounting structure and the axis of the second mounting structure have an included angle greater than 0 °, in other words, the thermal management device 1000 may receive impact forces in different directions, and the impact forces from different directions may be offset to some extent, so as to reduce the impact degree of the thermal management device 100, for example, when the vehicle is impacted and vibrated, the first mounting structure may receive a first impact force transmitted from the frame 200, the second mounting structure may receive a second impact force transmitted from the frame 200, the first impact force may decompose a component force along the axis direction of the second mounting structure, and the component force may be opposite to the direction of the second impact force, so as to offset a portion of the impact force, so that the impact force received by the thermal management device 100 is reduced.

Further, the first mounting structure may be a first mounting hole, and a corresponding third mounting hole is also provided on the frame 200, so that the first mounting structure and the frame 200 may be screwed together by a bolt; similarly, the second mounting structure may be a second mounting hole, and a corresponding fourth mounting hole is also provided on the frame 200, so that the second mounting structure and the frame 200 may be screwed together by a bolt. Of course, the first mounting structure may be a positioning column, and the frame 200 is provided with a corresponding through hole, and the positioning column may be inserted into the corresponding through hole on the frame 200 and locked by using a locking member (such as a nut, a bolt, etc.), so that the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure are connected with the frame 200.

Of course, the axial direction of the first mounting structure and the axial direction of the second mounting structure may be the same, in other words, the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 22 may be mounted in the same direction of the refrigerant plate 10, and when the vehicle is impacted, the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 22 may simultaneously act as impact and vibration buffering of the refrigerant plate 10 in the same direction, so as to reduce the impact and vibration of the refrigerant plate 10 in the direction, and further, the connection strength of the refrigerant plate 10 and the frame 200 in the direction may be improved.

As shown in fig. 5-7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the first support bracket 21 may include a middle section 211, a first connection 212, and a second connection 213.

The middle section 211 may extend in the up-down direction, and the upper and lower ends are respectively connected to the first connection portion 212 and the second connection portion 213, for example, referring to fig. 5, the lower end of the middle section 211 may be connected to the first connection portion 212, and the upper end of the middle section 211 may be connected to the second connection portion 213; the first connecting portion 212 may be connected to the refrigerant plate 10, the second connecting portion 213 may be connected to the frame 200, and the first mounting structure is disposed on the second connecting portion 213 and extends along the front-rear direction, so that the impact resistance of the thermal management device 100 in the front-rear direction can be improved by the first supporting frame 21 to meet the reliability requirements of impact resistance and vibration.

Specifically, the first mounting structure is provided on the second connection portion 213, in other words, the second connection portion 213 is connected to the frame 200 by the first mounting structure, and the first mounting structure extends in the front-rear direction, so that the first mounting structure and the frame 200 can be connected in the front-rear direction, i.e., the impact force on the frame 200 can be transmitted to the first support frame 21 in the front-rear direction; when the vehicle is running, the vehicle is subjected to impact and vibration and is transferred to the thermal management device 100, and at this time, the impact force is transferred to the first support frame 21 in the front-rear direction, and since the middle section 211 of the first support frame 21 extends in the up-down direction, the impact force transferred to the first support frame 21 can be decomposed into a component force along the extending direction of the middle section 211, or the impact and vibration transferred to the thermal management device 100 from the vehicle frame 200 can be greatly attenuated by the elastic deformation of the middle section 211, so that the thermal management device 100 can be ensured to operate normally.

In addition, the first connecting portion 212 may be provided with a first mounting structure and extend in the front-rear direction, so that a component force in the extending direction of the middle section 211 may be decomposed into a component force in the front-rear direction, and in short, the impact force transmitted from the frame 200 to the first supporting frame 21 may be decomposed several times to reduce the impact and vibration applied to the thermal management device 100.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, in the front projection in the up-down direction, the first connection portion 212 may be closer to the refrigerant plate 10 than the second connection portion 213, it may be appreciated that the middle section 211 extends in the up-down direction, one end of the middle section 211 is connected to the first connection portion 212, and the other end is connected to the second connection portion 213, so that a certain angle is formed between the middle section 211 and the up-down direction, when the vehicle is impacted and vibrated, the impact force applied to the frame 200 may be transferred to the first support frame 21 in the front-back direction, and then a component force in the extending direction of the middle section 211 may be decomposed, which is smaller than the impact force, so that the impact and vibration applied to the thermal management device 100 may be reduced, thereby satisfying the impact and vibration reliability requirements of the thermal management device 100.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the second connection portion 213 may be offset from the refrigerant plate 10 in front-rear direction in order to optimize the transmission path of the impact force, so that the impact applied to the thermal management device 100 may be reduced.

In detail, the first mounting structure of the second connection portion 213 may be connected to the frame 200 in the front-rear direction, so that the impact force may be transferred from the frame 200 to the second connection portion 213 in the front-rear direction, and the second connection portion 213 may be offset from the front-rear projection of the refrigerant plate 10 in this case, so that the first connection portion 212 may be offset from the second connection portion 213 in the front-rear projection, and during the transfer of the impact force from the frame 200 to the refrigerant plate 10, the impact force may form a component force in the extension direction of the middle section 211 on the first support frame 21, which is smaller than the impact force, so that the impact applied to the thermal management device 100 may be reduced.

In addition, when the vehicle is vibrated or impacted, the impact force can be transmitted from the frame 200 to the first support frame 21 along the front-rear direction, in this process, the first support frame 21 can elastically deform within a certain range, that is, the first connection portion 212 is displaced relative to the second connection portion 213 along the front-rear direction, at this time, in the orthographic projection along the front-rear direction, the second connection portion 213 can be dislocated with the refrigerant plate 10, so that a certain displacement space is provided for the second connection portion 213, so that the first support frame 21 can better realize the buffering function.

As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the first connection portion 212 may be laminated and connected to a side surface of the refrigerant plate 10, it is understood that the refrigerant plate 10 may have a first plate portion and a second plate portion opposite to each other in an up-down direction, and each of the first plate portion and the second plate portion may provide a space for mounting the heat management component, so that the first connection portion 212 may be connected to the side surface of the refrigerant plate 10, such that the first support frame 21 may avoid the heat management component to ensure connection stability of components in the heat management device 100, and at the same time, the first connection portion 212 may be laminated to the side surface of the refrigerant plate 10 to increase a contact area between the first support frame 21 and the refrigerant plate 10, thereby improving connection stability of the first support frame 21 and the refrigerant plate 10, for example, a mounting hole may be provided on the first connection portion 212 may be provided on the corresponding side surface of the refrigerant plate 10, and the first connection portion 212 may be mounted on the side surface of the refrigerant plate 10 by a bolt.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the first connection portion 212 and the second connection portion 213 may be perpendicular to the front-rear direction, and the intermediate section 211 may have an included angle greater than 90 ° with the first connection portion 212 and the second connection portion 213, so that the impact force applied to the thermal management device 100 may be greatly reduced, so that the thermal management device 100 meets the reliability requirements of impact resistance and vibration.

When the vehicle is impacted and vibrated, the impact force can be transferred from the frame 200 of the vehicle to the first support frame 21, and during the process of transferring the impact force from the second connection portion 213 to the middle section 211, the impact force can be decomposed into a first component along the extending direction of the middle section 211, and then during the process of transferring the first component from the middle section 211 to the first connection portion 212, the first component can be decomposed into a second component towards the refrigerant plate 10, and at this time, the second component is much smaller than the impact force, so that the impact and vibration to which the thermal management device 100 is subjected can be reduced.

Of course, the intermediate section 211 may have an included angle smaller than 90 ° with the first connection portion 212 and the second connection portion 213, so that the impact force may be decomposed into a first component along the extending direction of the intermediate section 211 during the process of transmitting the impact force from the second connection portion 213 to the intermediate section 211, and then the first component may be decomposed into a second component toward the refrigerant plate 10 during the process of transmitting the first component from the intermediate section 211 to the first connection portion 212, in other words, the second component formed by multiple decomposition of the impact force during the process of transmitting the impact force from the first support frame 21 may be smaller than the original impact force, thereby reducing the impact and vibration of the thermal management device 100.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the second support frame 22 may include a third connection portion 221 and a fourth connection portion 222.

The third connecting portion 221 may be connected to the refrigerant plate 10, the fourth connecting portion 222 may be used to connect to the frame 200, and the second mounting structure may be disposed on the fourth connecting portion 222 and extend along the up-down direction, so that the second supporting frame 22 may improve the impact resistance of the thermal management device 100 in the up-down direction, so as to meet the requirements of impact resistance and vibration reliability.

Specifically, the second mounting structure extends in the up-down direction so that the second mounting structure and the vehicle frame 200 can be connected in the up-down direction, whereby the connection strength of the thermal management device 100 and the vehicle frame 200 in the up-down direction can be improved, and the impact resistance of the thermal management device 100 in the up-down direction can be improved. In addition, when the vehicle is impacted in the up-down direction, the second support frame 22 may perform a buffer transition to reduce the impact and vibration to which the thermal management device 100 is subjected.

According to practical situations, the second mounting structure may also be disposed on the third connecting portion 221 to improve the connection strength between the second support frame 22 and the refrigerant plate 10, thereby improving the impact resistance of the thermal management device 100.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the third connection part 221 is laminated on the side of the refrigerant plate 10, and it is understood that the refrigerant plate 10 has a first plate part and a second plate part opposite in the up-down direction, and the first plate part and the second plate part may provide an installation space for the thermal management component, and therefore, the third connection part 221 may be connected on the side of the refrigerant plate 10 such that the second support frame 22 may avoid the thermal management component to ensure connection stability of components within the thermal management device 100, and at the same time, the third connection part 221 may be laminated on the side of the refrigerant plate 10 to increase a contact area between the second support frame 22 and the refrigerant plate 10, thereby improving connection stability of the second support frame 22 and the refrigerant plate 10.

The third connection portion 221 may extend in the up-down direction, and may be configured to have a plate surface facing the side surface of the refrigerant plate 10, so as to realize lamination connection between the third connection portion 221 and the side surface of the refrigerant plate 10.

As shown in fig. 1 to 8, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the refrigerant plate 10 may include a first side 12 and a second side 13 opposite in front and rear directions, a first support bracket 21 is connected to the first side 12 of the refrigerant plate 10, and a second support bracket 22 is connected to the second side 13 of the refrigerant plate 10, it is understood that the first support bracket 21 and the second support bracket 22 are connected to the refrigerant plate 10 in front and rear directions, structural strength of the refrigerant plate 10 in front and rear directions may be enhanced by the first support bracket 21 and the second support bracket 22, and impact buffering may be performed by the first support bracket 21 and the second support bracket 22, thereby enhancing impact resistance of the thermal management device 100 in front and rear directions.

In addition, the support frame 20 may be arranged in various manners, for example, the first side portion 12 and the second side portion 13 are arranged in sequence in the front-to-back direction, that is, the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 22 are arranged in sequence in the front-to-back direction; as another example, the second side portion 13 and the first side portion 12 are disposed in order in the front-to-rear direction, that is, the second support frame 22 and the first support frame 21 are disposed in order in the front-to-rear direction; the first side portion 12 and the second side portion 13 are described below as being disposed in this order from the front to the back unless otherwise specified.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the first support frames 21 may be connected to both the left and right ends of the first side portion 12 of the refrigerant plate 10, and the second support frames 22 may be connected to both the left and right ends of the second side portion 13 of the refrigerant plate 10, in other words, two first support frames 21 and two second support frames 22 may be respectively provided on the refrigerant plate 10, and by using these support frames 20, the installation stability of the refrigerant plate 10 on the vehicle frame 200 may be improved, so that the stress of the refrigerant plate 10 may be uniform.

In addition, according to different installation environments of different vehicles, the installation positions of the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 22 on the thermal management device 100 and/or the frame 200 can be made, so that the applicability of the support frame 20 is improved.

As shown in fig. 1-7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, thermal management device 100 may further include a first buffer assembly 214 and a second buffer assembly 223.

The first buffer component 214 may be disposed on the first support frame 21 and may be engaged with the first mounting structure, and the second buffer component 223 may be disposed on the second support frame 22 and may be engaged with the second mounting structure; wherein the radial dimension of the first cushioning assembly 214 may be no greater than the radial dimension of the second cushioning assembly 223; and/or the axial dimension of first cushioning assembly 214 may be no greater than the axial dimension of second cushioning assembly 223, such that the impact resistance requirements of thermal management device 100 in different directions may be met.

Specifically, by the force calculation, it may be derived that the impact of the thermal management device 100 in the front-rear direction may be no greater than the impact in the up-down direction, and thus, the radial dimension of the first buffer assembly 214 may be no greater than the radial dimension of the second buffer assembly 223, and/or the axial dimension of the first buffer assembly 214 may be no greater than the axial dimension of the second buffer assembly 223, which may be reversely deduced.

It should be noted that, the buffer assembly may be disposed between the support frame 20 and the frame 200, and when the frame 200 vibrates, the frame 200 and the support frame 20 may undergo relative displacement, so that the buffer assembly undergoes extrusion deformation to absorb energy of vibration and impact, thereby realizing the buffering function of the buffer assembly. In addition, the first and second cushioning assemblies 214, 223 are identical in construction dimensions except for the axial and radial dimensions.

In detail, the axial dimension of the first buffer assembly 214 may be not greater than the axial dimension of the second buffer assembly 223, that is, the first support frame 21 may be displaced with respect to the first buffer assembly 214 when the vehicle frame 200 is subjected to the impact and vibration in the front-rear direction, so that the first buffer assembly 214 is deformed by compression, and the second support frame 22 may be displaced with respect to the second buffer assembly 223 when the vehicle frame 200 is subjected to the impact and vibration in the up-down direction, so that the second buffer assembly 223 is deformed by compression, and in general, the impact and vibration to which the second buffer assembly 223 is subjected may be smaller than the impact and vibration to which the first buffer assembly 214 is subjected, so that the axial dimension of the first buffer assembly 214 is not greater than the axial dimension of the second buffer assembly 223 which is deformed by compression, so as to satisfy the impact resistance requirements of the thermal management device 100 in different directions.

In addition, by increasing the radial dimension of the first buffer assembly 214, the contact area between the first buffer assembly 214 and the frame 200 and the first support frame 21 can be increased, so that the buffer effect of the first buffer assembly 214 can be improved; also, by increasing the radial dimension of the second buffer assembly 223, the contact area of the second buffer assembly 223 with the frame 200 and the second support frame 22 can be increased, so that the buffer effect of the second buffer assembly 223 can be improved, and thus, the radial dimension of the first buffer assembly 214 is not greater than the radial dimension of the second buffer assembly 223 according to the reliability requirements of the vibration of the thermal management device 100 in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction.
