Title:
THERMAL MANAGEMENT MODULE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/000893
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A thermal management module comprises a housing (1) and a driving shaft (3) located within the housing (1). The housing (1) is provided with an inner cavity (100), a partition (13) and a second inner cavity (113) which are arranged in series along the axial direction of the driving shaft (3). The first inner cavity (100) and the second inner cavity (113) are separated by the partition (13). The partition (13) is provided with a through hole (14) through which the driving shaft (3) passes. One end of the driving shaft (3) extends into the first inner cavity (100). A second cavity (113) is used for receiving a drive device for rotating the driving shaft (3). The housing (1) is further provided with a collecting cavity (12) having a collecting inlet (121) formed in a hole wall of the through hole (14). The collection inlet (121) is axially located between a first port (140) and a second port (141) of the through-hole (14), for collecting coolant leaked from the first port (140) facing the first inner cavity (100) in the first inner cavity (100). The thermal management module eliminates the need for a special container for collecting leaky coolant outside the housing, thereby reducing the space occupied by the thermal management module.
