[0003] In the prior art, refrigerated trucks currently install condensing devices at the front of the cargo box without occupying the roof height, and some VAN (van) ambulances have adopted front-mounted special-shaped warning lights to reduce the height of the vehicle. By designing the special-shaped structure of the device installed on the top of the vehicle and combining it with the streamlined front roof of the vehicle body, the available space formed outside the front roof when the vehicle leaves the factory can be fully utilized for device installation.

[0004] However, the cab and cargo box of VAN refrigerated trucks are integrated, and the condensing device is usually installed on the roof. VAN refrigerated trucks do not have the ability to install the condensing device in the available position on the front roof of the vehicle through the special-shaped design of the condensing device body, and thus cannot reduce the height of the vehicle in the above way. In other words, after adding the condensing device, the VAN refrigerated truck will be higher than the height limit.

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising a cab 10 and a refrigeration device 20, wherein the upper portion of the cab 10 is at least partially an inclined surface, the refrigeration device 20 is at least partially adapted to the inclined surface, and the refrigeration device 20 is located on a side of the cab 10 away from the vehicle bottom;

[0039] The refrigeration device 20 includes a device body 21, and the device body 21 is fixedly connected to the cab 10. The device body 21 is close to one side of the cab 10 and is adapted to the shape of the cab 10.

[0040] The total height of the device body 21 after being connected to the cab 10 is lower than a preset height, and the total height is the maximum distance between the device body 21 and the landing surface of the vehicle.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the above structure can adopt different heat dissipation methods according to the use of the vehicle. Among them, when the vehicle is running, the fan 23 stops working, and the air in the airflow channel flows from the fan 23 toward the air outlet. That is to say, at this time, the airflow generated by the running of the car is used to dissipate the heat of the refrigeration device 20, which can reduce the energy consumption of the vehicle. The air flow direction in the airflow channel is opposite to the driving direction of the vehicle; when the vehicle is stopped or idling, the wind speed brought by the vehicle is low. Through the operation of the fan 23, the air in the airflow channel can flow from the air outlet toward the fan 23 to ensure the effectiveness of heat dissipation. Of course, the fan 23 can also be blown in the opposite direction as needed and flow out from the air outlet. After the two heat dissipation methods in the above structure are combined with each other, the energy consumption of the refrigeration device 20 can be reduced. The embodiment of the present application has the beneficial effect of reducing the energy consumption of the refrigeration device 20 while ensuring the heat dissipation effect.

[0042] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the device body 21 includes a shell 211 and a mounting body, the shell 211 is at least partially connected to the mounting body, the shell 211 cooperates with the cab 10 to form a receiving cavity, and the mounting body is in the receiving cavity;

[0043] The heat sink 22 is installed in the accommodating cavity through the installation body, wherein an air flow channel is provided in the accommodating cavity, and the air flow channel passes through the housing 211 .

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the setting of the fan 23 can ensure the heat dissipation of the part of the radiator 22 that needs to be dissipated, and the setting of the mounting bracket can make the installation of the fan 23 more stable and reliable. Through the setting of the fan 23, the fan 23 can be turned on or off as needed. When the fan 23 is turned off, the part of the radiator 22 that needs to be dissipated can also be cooled by the airflow generated during the driving of the vehicle. The setting of the accommodating cavity is used to carry the functional components of the refrigeration device 20. The functional components include condensers and radiators 22, etc., not limited to these two types. The setting of the installation body can protect the functional components and ensure the safety and stability of the functional components.

[0045] It should be noted that the functional components of the refrigeration device 20 are interconnected in a corresponding manner. For example, the radiator 22 can transmit the cooled fluid to the area that needs to be cooled through the corresponding pipeline, such as to the interior of the vehicle or the cab 10.

[0046] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the device body 21 further includes a flow guiding structure 212, the flow guiding structure 212 is connected to the installation body, and the flow guiding structure 212 is located on a side of the installation body away from the forward direction of the vehicle;

[0047] The diversion structure 212 is used to divert rainwater.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the setting of the guide structure 212 in the above structure can guide rainwater, and then guide the rainwater to a preset area to facilitate the discharge of rainwater. At the same time, it can prevent scattered rainwater from affecting the radiator 22 in the accommodating cavity and prevent the radiator 22 from getting damp.

[0049] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the flow guiding structure 212 is configured to be U-shaped.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the U-shaped diversion structure 212 can better divert rainwater to a preset area.

[0051] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the device body 21 further includes a rain gutter 213 and a drainage groove 214, the rain gutter 213 is connected to the drainage groove 214 and is arranged at an angle, the rain gutter 213 is at least partially located in the accommodating cavity, and the drainage groove 214 is arranged on a side of the installation body away from the guide structure 212;

[0052] A first end of the rain gutter 213 is communicated with the guide structure 212 , and a second end of the rain gutter 213 is communicated with the drainage groove 214 .

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the provision of the rainwater trough 213 can further guide the rainwater after it is diverted by the diversion structure 212, and the provision of the drainage trough 214 can drain the rainwater to a preset direction. The provision of the rainwater trough 213 can serve as a bridge between the diversion structure 212 and the drainage trough 214, and can confine the flow of rainwater within a preset range, reducing the impact on the radiator 22 in the accommodation cavity.

[0054] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the setting direction of the drainage trough 214 is the same as the width direction of the vehicle, and the height in the middle of the drainage trough 214 is higher than the heights on both sides.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, setting the direction of the drainage trough 214 to be the same as the width direction of the vehicle can drain the rainwater from both sides of the vehicle, preventing the rainwater from flowing to the front windshield and reducing the impact of the rainwater on the driver's view. After the height in the middle of the drainage trough 214 is higher than the heights on both sides, on the one hand, it can accelerate the rapid outflow of the fluid in the drainage trough 214, and on the other hand, it can prevent water accumulation in the drainage trough 214.

[0056] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration device 20 further includes a fan 23, and the fan 23 is located within the air flow channel.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the provision of the fan 23 can increase the gas flow rate within the air flow channel, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 22.

[0058] It should be noted that the device main body 21 can be symmetrically arranged relative to the vehicle body length direction. Two fans 23 can be provided as needed, and the two fans 23 are respectively located on opposite sides of the device main body 21. More fans 23 can also be provided as needed. The number of fans 23 corresponds to the number of air flow channels, and at least one fan 23 can be provided in each air flow channel. The number of air flow channels can also be set according to the situation.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, after the device main body 21 is symmetrically arranged relative to the vehicle body length direction, the device main body 21 can be made more coordinated and the style of the device main body 21 can also be made more beautiful. After two radiators 22 are provided, the heat dissipation effect of the refrigeration device 20 can be better, improving the refrigeration effect. Part of the area of the device main body 21 can also be set to be streamlined as needed to reduce the resistance during vehicle driving.

[0060] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration device 20 further includes a mounting bracket, and the fan 23 is mounted on the housing 211 through the mounting bracket.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the setting of the fan 23 can ensure heat dissipation for the part of the radiator 22 that needs heat dissipation, and the setting of the mounting bracket can make the installation of the fan 23 more stable and reliable. By setting the fan 23, the fan 23 can be turned on or off as needed. When the fan 23 is turned off, the part of the radiator 22 that needs heat dissipation can also be dissipated by the airflow generated during the vehicle's driving process.

[0062] It should be noted that other heat dissipation structures can be added as needed, such as a water cooling component. The water cooling component is a component that cools or dissipates heat through water or other fluids.

[0063] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the orientation of the fan 23 is the same as the forward direction of the vehicle, and an air outlet is provided on the side of the accommodation cavity facing away from the fan 23.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the above structure can ensure the flow of air in the device main body 21 and ensure the effectiveness of heat dissipation.

[0065] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle is driving, the fan 23 stops working, and the air in the air flow channel flows relatively in the driving direction of the vehicle;

[0066] When the vehicle stops or idles, the fan 23 starts to work, and the air in the air flow channel flows driven by the fan 23.

[0067] After the refrigeration device 20 is at least partially adapted to the inclined surface, the setting of the refrigeration device 20 can have less impact on the height of the vehicle, thereby reducing the situation where the vehicle cannot pass due to height restrictions. After the part of the device main body 21 close to the cab 10 is adapted to the shape of the cab 10, the device main body 21 and the cab 10 can be better combined, making the connection between the device main body 21 and the cab 10 more stable and reliable. After the total height after the device main body 21 is connected to the cab 10 is lower than the preset height, it can be ensured that the vehicle can pass through the height limit within the preset height. The embodiment of the present application has the beneficial effect of having less impact on the vehicle height after adding the refrigeration device 20.

[0068] It should be noted that the above preset height refers to the height limit for vehicles. Different roads have corresponding height limits. For example, the height limit for some roads is 2.5 m, and the body height of the vehicle is 1.8 m. With the refrigeration device 20 of the present application, the body height of the vehicle will not increase too much, such as increasing to 2 m, or even remaining at 1.8 m, thereby ensuring that the vehicle can drive normally under the corresponding height limit. The above description is only exemplary and does not mean that the vehicle of the present application only corresponds to the above height limit data and body height data. The specific parameters of the vehicle and the corresponding height limit data are set according to actual needs.

[0069] It should be noted that most of the refrigeration device 20 can be arranged above the inclined plane as needed, which can minimize the maximum height of the vehicle while ensuring the driver's field of vision and reduce the situation where the vehicle cannot pass due to the height limit.

[0070] It should be noted that the refrigeration device 20 of the present application does not exist in isolation and can be connected to other components on the vehicle, such as an air conditioner, an engine cooling device, etc.

[0071] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are all described in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts among the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0072] It should also be noted that in this text, the orientation or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be construed as a limitation to the present application. In addition, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations, nor can they be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or terminal device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or terminal device.
