[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0027] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted water exchange tank, including a first tank body 1 and a second tank body 2. Preferably, the first tank body 1 is mainly used to store municipal tap water or purified water at room temperature to meet the water needs of the RV.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the water temperature of the normal temperature water stored in the first box body 1 and thereby meet the water temperature requirements of the RV water, this embodiment is provided with a second box body 2 at the bottom of the first box body 1 for heat exchange with the normal temperature water in the first box body 1.

[0030] Specifically, as a preference, the second box body 2 in this embodiment includes a bottom plate 21 sealed and arranged on the lower bottom surface of the first box body 1, the bottom plate 21 is provided with a flange, and the flange is welded with the lower bottom surface of the first box body 1 to form a cavity of the second box body 2, and in addition, a liquid inlet 22 and a liquid outlet 23 for the heat exchange medium in the cavity to flow in and out are provided on the side wall of the cavity of the second box body 2, and the liquid inlet 22 and the liquid outlet 23 are respectively connected to the external heat source mechanism. As a preference, the external heat source mechanism in this embodiment can be set as a solar water heater to assist the heat exchange of the heat exchange medium, and then adjust the water temperature in the first box body 1.

[0031] Further preferably, in this embodiment, a flow guide structure for controlling the uniform distribution of the heat exchange medium is provided near the liquid inlet 22 and the liquid outlet 23 of the cavity, and the flow guide structure includes a first flow guide plate 241 and a second flow guide plate 242 arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the first flow guide plate 241 and the second flow guide plate 242 are evenly distributed with first flow guide holes 2411 and second flow guide holes 2421 for uniformly distributing the heat exchange medium in the cavity. The first flow guide plate 241 and the second flow guide plate 242 are both arranged on the side where the liquid inlet 22 is provided on the cavity wall. Preferably, the first flow guide plate 241 is arranged adjacent to the cavity wall where the liquid inlet 22 is provided, and the total port area of ​​the second flow guide hole 2421 of the second flow guide plate 242 is smaller than the total port area of ​​the first flow guide hole 2411 of the first flow guide plate 241.

[0032] With the flow guide structure of the above structural design, a first heat exchange medium buffer groove 2431 is formed between the first flow guide plate 241 and the cavity wall of the second box 2, and a second heat exchange medium buffer groove 2432 is formed between the first flow guide plate 241 and the second flow guide plate 242. When the heat exchange medium flows into the first heat exchange medium buffer groove 2431 through the liquid inlet 22 opened on the cavity wall of the second box 2, the total port area of ​​the second flow guide hole 2421 of the second flow guide plate 242 is smaller than the total port area of ​​the first flow guide hole 2411 of the first flow guide plate 241. Therefore, the heat exchange medium flowing into the second heat exchange medium buffer groove 2432 will be slowly and evenly distributed in the cavity of the second box 2, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange uniformity.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the third guide plate and the fourth guide plate in the guide structure arranged on the side of the liquid outlet 23 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the third guide plate is arranged adjacent to the cavity wall of the second box body 2 provided with the liquid outlet 23. Similarly, the total port area of ​​the fourth guide hole of the fourth guide plate is smaller than the total port area of ​​the third guide hole of the third guide plate. In this way, the heat exchange medium flowing into the second box body 2 can flow out uniformly through the third guide hole, the fourth guide hole and the liquid outlet 23, thereby further improving the uniformity of the heat exchange medium flow. The guide structure of this part is basically the same as the guide structure on the side of the liquid inlet 22, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0034] With the second box body 2 of the above-mentioned structural design, the heat exchange medium flowing out of the liquid outlet 23 will flow into the second box body 2 again through the external heat source mechanism, thereby continuously exchanging heat with the normal temperature water injected into the first box body 1.

[0035] More specifically, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the first box body 1 from depositing scale or impurities during long-term use, as a preferred embodiment, multiple ultrasonic components 3 are distributed in the cavity of the second box body 2, and the ultrasonic components 3 are in conflict with the bottom surface of the first box body 1. When descaling is required, the ultrasonic components 3 can be started in time to effectively remove the scale or impurities deposited on the bottom of the first box body 1. In this embodiment, the specific structural settings of the multiple ultrasonic components 3 are relatively common in the relevant technology, and are not described in detail here.

[0036] To be more specific, in order to facilitate the timely discharge of the scale or impurities after the above-mentioned removal, a sewage pipe 11 is arranged through the middle of the inner bottom surface of the first box body 1 in this embodiment, and the sewage pipe 11 passes through the second box body 2 and is exposed on the lower bottom surface of the second box body 2. In addition, a water inlet 12 and a water outlet 13 are respectively arranged on the opposite side walls of the first box body 1 for replenishing and transporting the liquid.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the sterilization and disinfection of the normal temperature water in the first box, preferably, an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 is vertically inserted in the middle of the first box, so as to effectively kill bacteria or viruses in the normal temperature water by irradiating the surrounding area with ultraviolet rays.

[0038] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent the water stored in the first box body 1 from forming a surge due to inertia when encountering bumps, acceleration and deceleration during driving, thereby affecting the control and experience of the vehicle, preferably, in the present embodiment, a plurality of wave-breaking plates 14 are radially distributed on the periphery of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15. Specifically, one end of the plurality of wave-breaking plates 14 faces the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15, and the other end is spaced from the inner wall of the first box body, so that the plurality of chambers separated by the plurality of wave-breaking plates 14 are interconnected, thereby reducing the surge phenomenon of normal temperature water during driving.

[0039] In addition, since a plurality of wave-breaking plates 14 are radially distributed around the periphery of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15, the light emitted by the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15 can be conveniently irradiated into each chamber. As a further preferred embodiment, in order to improve the sterilization efficiency of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 15, the outer surface of the wave-breaking plates 14 can also be mirrored, so that the ultraviolet light entering the chamber is reflected more evenly, so as to better sterilize the room temperature water in the chamber.

[0040] In addition, in order to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the vehicle-mounted water exchange tank and prevent energy loss, as a preference, the present embodiment further includes a thermal insulation layer covering the periphery of the vehicle-mounted water exchange tank after assembly. The thermal insulation layer may be provided in the form of thermal insulation cotton or a vacuum cavity. The specific settings of the thermal insulation layer are commonly used in related technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The vehicle-mounted water exchange tank designed in the above manner, the first water tank and the second water tank are assembled into one body, which is convenient for installation. After being connected to the external heat source mechanism, the normal temperature water in the first water tank can be evenly exchanged with heat through the guide structure in the second tank body, and the scale or impurities in the first water tank can be conveniently cleaned regularly through the above-mentioned ultrasonic component 3.

[0042] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations herein, those skilled in the art can associate other specific implementations of the present invention without paying creative labor, and these methods will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
