The following embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only intended to explain the present disclosure, rather than limit the present disclosure. In the description of the present disclosure, it shall be understood that terms such as “central,” “longitudinal,” “transverse,” “length,” “width,” “thickness,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” “outer,” “clockwise,” “counterclockwise,” “axial,” “radial” and “circumferential” should be construed to refer to the orientation as then described or as shown in the drawings under discussion. These relative terms are only for convenience of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, or be constructed and operated in a particular orientation. Thus, these terms shall not be construed as limitation on the present disclosure.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 28, a heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of an electronic control assembly according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes a first heat exchange portion, a second heat exchange portion, a first connection tube 4, and a second connection tube 5. The first heat exchange portion includes a first end 2001 of the first heat exchange portion and a second end 2002 of the first heat exchange portion. A first communication port is arranged at the first end 2001 of the first heat exchange portion, a second communication port is arranged at the second end 2002 of the first heat exchange portion, and the first communication port is in communication with the second communication port.


The second heat exchange portion includes a first end 3001 of the second heat exchange portion and a second end 3002 of the second heat exchange portion. A third communication port is arranged at the first end 3001 of the second heat exchange portion, a fourth communication port is arranged at the second end 3002 of the second heat exchange portion, and the fourth communication port is in communication with the third communication port. At least a part of a surface of the second heat exchange portion may be in contact with an electronic control assembly 200, so as to be in conduction with the electronic control assembly 200 to dissipate heat. The electronic control assembly includes a chip, and may further include modules such as a rectifier bridge or an IGBT (an insulated gate bipolar transistor), and these modules emit heat when operating, so that heat dissipation is required to reduce the temperature and improve the service life.


The first connection tube 4 includes a first end 4001 of the first connection tube and a second end 4002 of the first connection tube. The first end 4001 of the first connection tube is connected to the first end 2001 of the first heat exchange portion through the first communication port, and the second end 4002 of the first connection tube is connected to the first end 3001 of the second heat exchange portion through the third communication port, so as to communicate the first heat exchange portion with the second heat exchange portion. In other words, the first communication port is in communication with the third communication port through the first connection tube 4.


The second connection tube 5 includes a first end 5001 of the second connection tube and a second end 5002 of the second connection tube. The first end 5001 of the second connection tube is connected to the second end 2002 of the first heat exchange portion through the second communication port, and the second end 5002 of the second connection tube is connected to the second end 3002 of the second heat exchange portion through the fourth communication port, so as to communicate the first heat exchange portion with the second heat exchange portion. In other words, the second communication port is in communication with the fourth communication port through the second connection tube 5.


The first heat exchange portion, the first connection tube 4, the second heat exchange portion and the second connection tube 5 constitute a loop, and at least one of the first heat exchange portion, the first connection tube 4, the second heat exchange portion and the second connection tube 5 has an opening 211 or 221 or 310 or 320 or 410 or 510. The opening is closed when the heat exchange system 100 is in an operative state, and is opened only when a refrigerant needs to be charged or discharged in an inoperative state of the heat exchange system 100.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 28, the first heat exchange portion is located on a left side of the second heat exchange portion. A left end of the first connection tube 4 is connected to the first end 2001 of the first heat exchange portion through the first communication port, and a right end of the first connection tube 4 is connected to the first end 3001 of the second heat exchange portion through the third communication port. A left end of the second connection tube 5 is connected to the second end 2002 of the first heat exchange portion through the second communication port, and a right end of the second connection tube 5 is connected to the second end 3002 of the second heat exchange portion through the fourth communication port.


When the heat exchange system 100 is in use, i.e., when the heat exchange system 100 is used to dissipate heat from the electronic control assembly 200, the second end 2002 of the first heat exchange portion is not higher than the first end 2001 of the first heat exchange portion in a direction of gravity, the second end 3002 of the second heat exchange portion is lower than the first end 3001 of the second heat exchange portion in the direction of gravity, the third communication port is lower than the first communication port in the direction of gravity, and the fourth communication port is lower than the second communication port in the direction of gravity. Therefore, a liquid refrigerant in the second heat exchange portion absorbs the heat from the electronic control assembly 200 and is converted into a gaseous refrigerant, and then the gaseous refrigerant enters the first heat exchange portion through the first connection tube 4. The gaseous refrigerant in the first heat exchange portion is condensed into the liquid refrigerant and then the liquid refrigerant enters the second heat exchange portion through the second connection tube 5.


In the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first heat exchange portion and the second heat exchange portion are provided and in communication with each other, so that the first heat exchange portion serves as a condenser, and the second heat exchange portion serves as a heat dissipation module for the electronic control assembly 200. By adopting the separate first heat exchange portion and second heat exchange portion for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly 200, the heat-exchange area is increased, and more refrigerant can be charged into the system, thus providing a large amount of heat exchange, and improving the heat dissipation effect for the electronic control assembly 200.


In addition, in some applications known to the inventors, the electronic control assembly 200 adopts a water cooling radiator for heat dissipation. The water cooling radiator is noisy due to the need of a water pump, and presents a significant safety risk to associated equipment due to the use of water to dissipate heat. However, when the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly according to the present disclosure is in use, the second end 2002 of the first heat exchange portion is not higher than the first end 2001 of the first heat exchange portion in the direction of gravity, the second end 3002 of the second heat exchange portion is lower than the first end 3001 of the second heat exchange portion in the direction of gravity, the third communication port is lower than the first communication port in the direction of gravity, and the fourth communication port is lower than the second communication port in the direction of gravity, so that the liquid refrigerant in the first heat exchange portion can flow into the second heat exchange portion through the second connection tube 5 by means of its own weight. Thus, by using a form of a gravity heat tube, elements such as the water pump are eliminated, and the noise is low. Furthermore, the first heat exchange portion and the second heat exchange portion are charged with the refrigerant, and once the system leaks, the refrigerant is discharged as a gas, thus reducing the safety risk of the short circuit of electronic elements.


In some embodiments, the first heat exchange portion is a first heat exchange assembly 2. The first heat exchange assembly 2 includes a first tube 21, a second tube 22 and a plurality of heat exchange tubes 23. The second tube 22 and the first tube 21 are spaced apart from each other, the first communication port is arranged at the first tube 21, and the second communication port is arranged at the second tube 22. The plurality of heat exchange tubes 23 are spaced apart from each other along a length direction of the first tube 21. At least one of the heat exchange tubes 23 is connected to the first tube 21 at one end in a length direction of the heat exchange tube 23, and each heat exchange tube 23 is connected to the second tube 22 at the other end in the length direction of the heat exchange tube 23, so as to communicate the first tube 21 with the second tube 22.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second tube 22 and the first tube 21 each extend in a front-rear direction, i.e., the second tube 22 and the first tube 21 are arranged in parallel to each other. The second tube 22 and the first tube 21 are spaced apart in an up-down direction. The first tube 21 is provided with a port 210, the port 210 of the first tube is the first communication port, the second tube 22 is provided with a port 220, and the port 220 of the second tube is the second communication port. The plurality of heat exchange tubes 23 are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction, and the length direction of each heat exchange tube 23 is parallel to the up-down direction. Each heat exchange tube 23 is connected between the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 in the up-down direction, so as to communicate the first tube 21 with the second tube 22. It can be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to this. The first tube 21 and the second tube 22 may also be parallel to each other and inclined relative to the front-rear direction, or the first tube 21 may not be parallel to the second tube 22, i.e. the second tube 22 and/or the first tube 21 are inclined at an angle with respect to each other.


The second heat exchange portion is a second heat exchange assembly 3, and the second heat exchange assembly 3 includes a third tube 31, a heat exchange component 33 and a fourth tube 32. The fourth tube 32 and the third tube 31 are spaced apart from each other, the third communication port is arranged at the third tube 31, and the fourth communication port is arranged at the fourth tube 32. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the second heat exchange assembly 3 is located on a right side of the first heat exchange assembly 2, and the fourth tube 32 and the third tube 31 each extend in the front-rear direction, i.e., the fourth tube 32 and the third tube 31 are arranged in parallel to each other. The fourth tube 32 and the third tube 31 are spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction. The third tube 31 is provided with a port 310, the port 310 of the third tube is the third communication port, the fourth tube 32 is provided with a port 320, and the port 320 of the fourth tube is the fourth communication port.


One end of two oppositely-arranged ends of the heat exchange component 33 is connected to the third tube 31, and the other end of the two oppositely-arranged ends of the heat exchange component 33 is connected to the fourth tube 32. In other words, the heat exchange component 33 is connected between the third tube 31 and the fourth tube 32. The heat exchange component 33 includes a plurality of channels, and each channel is in communication with the third tube 31 and the fourth tube 32. In other words, the third tube 31 is in communication with the fourth tube 32 through the channels of the heat exchange component 33. Specifically, the plurality of channels are spaced apart from each other along a length direction of the third tube 31. At least a part of the heat exchange component 33 may be in contact with the electronic control assembly 200, so as to exchange heat with the electronic control assembly 200, thereby realizing the heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly 200. The first end 4001 of the first connection tube is connected to the first tube 21 through the first communication port, and the second end 4002 of the first connection tube is connected to the third tube 31 through the third communication port, so as to communicate the first tube 21 with the third tube 31. The first end 5001 of the second connection tube is connected to the second tube 22 through the second communication port, and the second end 5002 of the second connection tube is connected to the fourth tube 32 through the fourth communication port, so as to communicate the second tube 22 with the fourth tube 32.


The heat exchange system 100 is mounted in an assembling unit during use. A junction of at least one heat exchange tube 23 to the second tube 21 is not higher than a junction of the at least one heat exchange tube 23 to the first tube 21 in the direction of gravity, and a communication point of at least one channel to the fourth tube 32 is lower than a communication point of the at least one channel to the third tube 31 in the direction of gravity. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first tube 21, the second tube 22, the third tube 31 and the fourth tube 32 each extend in the front-rear direction, the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 are located on the left side of the third tube 31 and the fourth tube 32, the first tube 21 is located above the second tube 22, the third tube 31 is located above the fourth tube 32, the first tube 21 is higher than the third tube 31, and the second tube 22 is higher than the fourth tube 32. An upper end of the heat exchange tube 23 is connected to the first tube 21, a lower end of the heat exchange tube 23 is connected to the second tube 22, an upper end of the heat exchange component 33 is connected to the third tube 31, and a lower end of the heat exchange component 33 is connected to the fourth tube 32. The plurality of channels of the heat exchange component 33 each penetrate through the heat exchange component 33 in the up-down direction, and the plurality of channels are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction. An upper end of each channel is in communication with the third tube 31 and a lower end of each channel is in communication with the fourth tube 32.


Therefore, the liquid refrigerant in the second heat exchange assembly 3 absorbs heat from the electronic control assembly 200 through at least a part of a surface of the heat exchange component 33, evaporates into the gaseous refrigerant and enters the first tube 21 in the first heat exchange assembly 2 through the third tube 31 of the second heat exchange assembly 3 and the first connection tube 4. In other words, the first connection tube 4 may guide the gaseous refrigerant in the second heat exchange assembly 3 into the first heat exchange assembly 2. The gaseous refrigerant in the first heat exchange assembly 2 condenses into the liquid refrigerant and enters the second tube 22. Since the second communication port of the second tube 22 in the first heat exchange assembly 2 is higher than the fourth communication port of the fourth tube 32 in the second heat exchange assembly 3, the liquid refrigerant in the first heat exchange assembly 2 can flow into the fourth communication port in the second heat exchange assembly 3 through the second communication port in the first heat exchange assembly 2 and the second connection tube 5 by means of its own weight. In other words, since a position of the second communication port is higher than a position of the fourth communication port, the liquid refrigerant in the second tube 22 can flow into the fourth communication port through the second communication port and the second connection tube 5 under the action of the liquid refrigerant's own weight, so as to enter the fourth tube 32. Therefore, the circulated heat exchange of the refrigerant is realized by using the principle of the gravity heat tube.


In the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first heat exchange assembly 2 and the second heat exchange assembly 3 are provided and in communication with each other, so that the first heat exchange assembly 2 serves as the condenser, and the second heat exchange assembly 3 serves as the heat dissipation module for the electronic control assembly 200. By adopting the separate first heat exchange assembly 2 and second heat exchange assembly 3 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly 200, the heat dissipation effect for the electronic control assembly 200 is improved, elements such as the water pump are eliminated, and the noise is low. Furthermore, the first heat exchange assembly 2 and second heat exchange assembly 3 are charged with the refrigerant, and once the system leaks, the refrigerant is discharged as a gas, thus reducing the safety risk of the short circuit of electronic elements.


The heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is a circulating system, and the refrigerant circulates between the first heat exchange assembly 2 and the second heat exchange assembly 3. The first tube 21 in the first heat exchange assembly 2 further has a first port 211, the first port 211 is an opening, the second tube 22 further has a second port 221, and the second port 221 is another opening. The first port 211 and the second port 221 are normally closed, and are opened only when the refrigerant is charged or discharged.


In some embodiments, the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly further includes a fan 1, the first heat exchange assembly 2 is arranged adjacent to the fan 1, and an air outlet of the fan 1 is opposite to a windward side of the first heat exchange assembly 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the first heat exchange assembly 2 is adjacent to the fan 1 and located on a right side of the fan 1, the fan 1 has an air outlet, the first heat exchange assembly 2 has a windward side and a leeward side, and the windward side of the first heat exchange assembly 2 is opposite to the air outlet of the fan 1, so that the wind blown out by the fan 1 through the air outlet may enter the first heat exchange assembly 2. The fan 1 may further be replaced by a blower. Therefore, under the action of the fan 1, the gaseous refrigerant in the first heat exchange assembly 2 may be accelerated to liquefy into the liquid refrigerant, thus improving the heat exchange performance of the first heat exchange portion and improving the heat exchange effect of the system.


In some embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 2 further includes a first fin 24 arranged between adjacent heat exchange tubes 23.

It can be understood that the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly according to the present disclosure is not limited to the form including the above first heat exchange assembly 2 and the above second heat exchange assembly 3.

A distance between the first side face and the second side face of the second flat tube 6 is less than a distance between the third side face and the fourth side face of the second flat tube 6.


The second flat tube 6 includes a plurality of straight sections 61 and a plurality of curved sections 62, the plurality of straight sections 61 are spaced apart from each other, and two adjacent straight sections 61 are connected through the curved section 62. The second flat tube 6 includes a first end of the second flat tube and a second end of the second flat tube, the first communication port is arranged at the first end of the second flat tube, and the second communication port is arranged at the second end of the second flat tube. The third flat tube 10 includes a first side face and a second side face, and the first side face and the second side face of the third flat tube 10 are oppositely arranged in a thickness direction of the third flat tube 10. The third flat tube 10 further includes a third side face and a fourth side face, and the third side face and the fourth side face of the third flat tube 10 are oppositely arranged in a width direction of the third flat tube 10. A distance between the first side face and the second side face of the third flat tube 10 is less than a distance between the third side face and the fourth side face of the third flat tube 10. The third flat tube 10 includes a first end of the third flat tube and a second end of the third flat tube, the third communication port is arranged at the first end of the third flat tube, and the fourth communication port is arranged at the second end of the third flat tube. At least a part of a surface of the third flat tube 10 may be in contact with the electronic control assembly 200.


When the heat exchange system 100 is in use, the plurality of straight sections 61 are spaced apart from each other generally along the direction of gravity, the second end of the second flat tube is not higher than the first end of the second flat tube in the direction of gravity, and the second end of the third flat tube is lower than the first end of the third flat tube in the direction of gravity. As shown in FIG. 28, a length direction of the plurality of straight sections 61 is parallel to the left-right direction, the plurality of straight sections 61 are spaced apart from each other in the up-down direction, and a thickness direction of the straight section 61 is parallel to the up-down direction. The two adjacent straight sections 61 are connected through one curved section 62, so that the second flat tube 6 has a substantially serpentine shape. The second flat tube 6 includes a upper right end and a lower right end along the length direction of the second flat tube 6, and the lower right end of the second flat tube 6 is lower than the upper right end of the second flat tube 6 in the up-down direction. As shown in FIG. 28, a length direction of the third flat tube 10 is substantially parallel to the up-down direction, the thickness direction of the third flat tube 10 is substantially parallel to the left-right direction, the third flat tube 10 includes an upper end and a lower end in the up-down direction, and the lower end of the third flat tube 10 is lower than the upper end of the third flat tube 10.


Specifically, a side face of the third flat tube 10 facing away from the second flat tube 6 in the thickness direction of the third flat tube 10 may be in contact with the electronic control assembly 200, so as to exchange heat with the electronic control assembly 200. As shown in FIG. 28, a side face of the third flat tube 10 facing away from the second flat tube 6 in the left-right direction is a right side face of the third flat tube 10, and the right side face of the third flat tube 10 may be fixed to the electronic control assembly 200. Specifically, a fixing plate serving as the fixing portion 9 is arranged on the other side face of two side faces of the third flat tube 10 oppositely arranged in the thickness direction of the third flat tube 10, the fixing plate has a mounting hole 91, and the third flat tube 10 is fastened to the electronic control assembly 200 by a fastener penetrating the mounting hole 91. As shown in FIG. 28, a side face of the third flat tube 10 adjacent to the second flat tube 6 in the left-right direction is a left side face of the third flat tube 10 and the fixing plate is arranged on the left side face of the third flat tube 10. Thus, the liquid refrigerant in the third flat tube 10 of the second heat exchange portion is evaporated into the gaseous refrigerant by absorbing heat from the electronic control assembly 200 through one side face of the two side faces oppositely arranged in the thickness direction, and enters a relatively high-positioned end of the second flat tube 6 of the first heat exchange portion through a relatively high-positioned end of the third flat tube 10 and the first connection tube 4. In other words, the first connection tube 4 may guide the gaseous refrigerant in the third flat tube 10 into the second flat tube 6.


The gaseous refrigerant in the second flat tube 6 condenses into the liquid refrigerant and enters a relatively lower-positioned end of the second flat tube 6. Since the relatively lower-positioned end of the second flat tube 6 is higher than a relatively lower-positioned end of the third flat tube 10, the liquid refrigerant in the second flat tube 6 may flow into the relatively lower-positioned end of the third flat tube 10 through the relatively lower-positioned end of the second flat tube 6 and the second connection tube 5 by means of its own weight. Specifically, the second flat tube 6 is arranged adjacent to a fan 1. The first heat exchange portion further includes a second fin 7 arranged between adjacent straight sections 61. Thus, by providing the second fin 7 between the adjacent straight sections 61, the heat exchange area between the two adjacent straight sections 61 can be increased and the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchange portion can be improved. As shown in FIG. 28, the first heat exchange portion is adjacent to the fan 1 and located on a right side of the fan 1, the fan 1 has an air outlet, the first heat exchange portion has a windward side and a leeward side, and the windward side of the first heat exchange portion is opposite to the air outlet of the fan 1 so that a wind blown out by the fan 1 through the air outlet may enter the first heat exchange portion. Therefore, the gaseous refrigerant in the first heat exchange portion may be accelerated to liquefy into the liquid refrigerant under the action of the fan 1, thus improving the heat exchange effect.


In some embodiments, the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly further includes a liquid storage member 8 having a liquid storage cavity 81, and the second end of the second flat tube is connected to the first end 5001 of the second connection tube through the liquid storage member 8, so as to communicate the second flat tube 6 with the second connection tube 5 through the liquid storage cavity 81. By providing the liquid storage member 8 between the first heat exchange portion and the second heat exchange portion, the liquid refrigerant can be stored, thus preventing the dry heating of the heat tube.


In some embodiments, the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly further includes a third connection tube 11, and the second end of the second flat tube is connected to the liquid storage member 8 through the third connection tube 11 so as to communicate the liquid storage member 81 with the second flat tube 6. Specifically, one outermost straight section (an uppermost straight section) of the plurality of straight sections 61 in the direction of gravity is connected to one end of the third flat tube 10 in the direction of gravity through the first connection tube 4, the other outermost straight section (a lowermost straight section) of the plurality of straight sections 61 in the direction of gravity is connected to the liquid storage member 8 through the third connection tube 11, and the liquid storage member 8 is connected to the other end of the third flat tube 10 in the direction of gravity through the second connection tube 5. As shown in FIG. 28, the plurality of straight sections 61 includes a first outermost straight section and a second outermost straight section located on outermost sides in the up-down direction, and the first outermost straight section is located above the second outermost straight section. A right end of the first outermost straight section is connected to an upper end of the third flat tube 10 through the first connection tube 4, a right end of the second outermost straight section is connected to the liquid storage member 8 through the third connection tube 11, and the liquid storage member 8 is connected to a lower end of the third flat tube 10 through the second connection tube 5.


Further, the third connection tube 11, the second flat tube 6, the first connection tube 4, the third flat tube 10 and the second connection tube 5 are formed by one continuous tube. In other words, the first connection tube 4, the second connection tube 5 and the third connection tube 11 are all a flat tube, and the third connection tube 11, the second flat tube 6, the first connection tube 4, the third flat tube 10 and the second connection tube 5 are formed by one flat tube. That is, the heat exchange system 100 for heat dissipation of the electronic control assembly includes one flat tube which is bent to form the third connection tube 11, the plurality of straight sections 61, the plurality of curved sections 62, the first connection tube 4, the third flat tube 10 and the second connection tube 5.
