Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a ventilated trim structure and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when the air conditioner is turned on for defrosting, defogging, or ventilation in rainy conditions, the air conditioner draws in air through openings in the ventilation panel above the air intake. These openings also drain rainwater from the windshield. The rainwater enters the openings and flows into a drainage channel below the ventilation panel, from which it drains to the sides and out of the vehicle. In this case, the drainage channel below the ventilation panel serves as both the air intake and drainage channel for the air conditioner, thus combining both functions.

[0003] However, under conditions of torrential rain, the air is filled with water mist, and a large amount of water enters the water channel. When the air conditioner is working, the air intake will draw in a large amount of gas containing water mist through the water channel. Over time, the gas filtered by the air conditioner filter will accumulate on the filter, forming water droplets. This can lead to water accumulation and mold growth on the air conditioner filter, thus affecting the driving experience and the health of the occupants. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a ventilation panel structure designed to completely separate the water and air channels of the ventilation panel, thereby preventing water accumulation in the air conditioning filter.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a ventilated decorative panel structure, comprising:

[0007] The ventilation panel body is an arch shape that is high in the middle and low on both sides, and an air vent is provided on the inclined surface of one side of the ventilation panel body.

[0008] An air conditioning intake panel is connected to the air vent and extends upward beyond the upper surface of the ventilation trim panel body.

[0009] Optionally, an air conditioning inlet is provided on one side of the bottom of the ventilation trim panel body, and the air conditioning inlet plate is connected to the side of the ventilation trim panel body away from the air conditioning inlet.

[0010] Optionally, the air conditioning intake plate is provided with a plurality of air intake holes, which are used to connect the top space of the air conditioning intake plate with the bottom space of the ventilation trim panel body.

[0011] Optionally, the opening of the air intake hole on the air conditioning intake plate is 10mm to 15mm higher than the upper surface of the ventilation panel.

[0012] Optionally, the ventilated trim structure further includes:

[0013] An impact plate is attached to the bottom of the ventilation trim body between the air conditioning inlet and the air conditioning intake plate, and the impact plate is attached to the bottom of the ventilation trim body on the side near the air conditioning intake plate.

[0014] Optionally, the impact plate is obliquely connected to the bottom of the ventilation trim body, and the angle between the impact plate and the ventilation trim body is 60° to 80°.

[0015] Optionally, the ventilated decorative panel body has an installation groove, and the top of the impact plate is provided with an installation plate that mates with the installation groove, the installation plate being connected within the installation groove.

[0016] Optionally, the ventilated trim structure further includes:

[0017] A first connecting plate, one end of which is connected to the windshield assembly, and the other end of which is away from the windshield assembly, which is connected to the ventilation trim body.

[0018] The second connecting plate is connected to the end of the ventilation trim panel body away from the first connecting plate, and the end of the second connecting plate away from the ventilation trim panel body is connected to the sheet metal assembly.

[0019] Optionally, a water baffle is provided at the connection point between the ventilated decorative panel body and the first connecting plate.

[0020] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a ventilated trim structure as described in the first aspect above, disposed on the vehicle body.

[0021] The ventilation panel structure provided in this application includes a ventilation panel body and an air conditioning intake panel. The ventilation panel body is an arched shape, higher in the middle and lower on both sides, allowing rainwater on the ventilation panel body to flow towards the lower inclined surfaces on both sides. A vent is provided on one inclined surface of the ventilation panel body, and the air conditioning intake panel is connected to the vent, extending upwards beyond the upper surface of the ventilation panel body. This prevents rainwater on the inclined surface from entering the vent through the air conditioning intake panel, and consequently prevents rainwater from entering the drainage channel at the bottom of the ventilation panel body. The air conditioning intake panel allows air from the upper part of the ventilation panel body to enter the vent, and then the air enters the air conditioner through the upper part of the drainage channel. This structure completely separates the water and air paths of the ventilation panel body, preventing the air conditioner from drawing in large amounts of water-mist-containing gas through the drainage channel, thus preventing water accumulation and mold growth in the air conditioning filter.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In related technologies, the water channel under the ventilation panel serves as both the air intake and drainage channel for the air conditioner, thus allowing the air intake and drainage channels to be shared.

[0029] However, under conditions of torrential rain, the air is filled with water mist. Although there are water deflectors, rainwater can still enter the ventilation panel and flow into the water channel through the openings in the panel. At this time, the water channel contains a large amount of rainwater. When the air conditioner is working, the air intake will draw in a large amount of air containing water mist through the water channel. Over time, the air filtered by the air conditioning filter will accumulate on the filter, forming water droplets. This can lead to water accumulation and mold growth on the air conditioning filter, thus affecting the driving experience and the health of the occupants.

[0030] To overcome the above problems, this application proposes a ventilation panel structure that aims to completely separate the water and air channels of the ventilation panel, thereby preventing water accumulation in the air conditioning filter.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a simplified structural diagram of a ventilated decorative panel structure and its surrounding connecting parts according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a ventilated decorative panel structure and its surrounding connecting parts in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ventilated decorative panel structure includes:

[0032] Ventilation panel body 1, the ventilation panel body 1 is an arch shape with a high middle and low sides, and an air vent is opened on the inclined surface of one side of the ventilation panel body 1;

[0033] Air conditioning intake plate 2, which is connected to the air vent and extends upward beyond the upper surface of the ventilation trim body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the ventilation panel structure includes a ventilation panel body 1 and an air conditioning intake panel 2. The ventilation panel body 1 is an arched shape with a higher center and lower sides, which allows rainwater on the ventilation panel body 1 to be quickly diverted and flow towards the lower inclined surfaces on both sides of the ventilation panel body 1, and then discharged from both sides of the ventilation panel body 1. A vent is provided on one inclined surface of the ventilation panel body 1, which allows air to pass through the ventilation panel body 1, enter the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1, and enter the air conditioning system through the air conditioning intake 6 at the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1. The air conditioning intake panel 2 is connected to the vent, which prevents rainwater from directly entering the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1 from the vent. The air conditioning intake panel 2 extends upwards from the upper surface of the ventilation panel body 1, which prevents rainwater on the inclined surface from entering the vent through the air conditioning intake panel 2, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the drainage channel 10 at the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1.

[0035] The above structure allows for complete separation of the water and air paths of the ventilation panel body 1, thereby preventing the air conditioner from drawing in a large amount of water mist-containing gas through the water channel 10, thus preventing water accumulation and mold growth in the air conditioning filter 7. The air conditioning intake plate 2 can be integrally formed with the ventilation panel body 1.

[0036] Based on the above-described ventilation panel structure, this application provides the following examples of specific implementable methods. These examples can be arbitrarily combined without conflict to form a new ventilation panel structure. It should be understood that any new ventilation panel structure formed by combining any of these examples should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one feasible implementation, an air conditioning inlet 6 is provided on one side of the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1, and the air conditioning inlet plate 2 is connected to the side of the ventilation panel body 1 away from the air conditioning inlet 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, an air conditioning inlet 6 is provided on one side of the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1. The air conditioning inlet 6 is used for air to enter the air conditioner. The air conditioning intake plate 2 is connected to the side of the ventilation panel body 1 away from the air conditioning inlet 6. That is, the vent is opened on the side of the ventilation panel body 1 away from the air conditioning inlet 6. In this way, some of the air containing water mist can accumulate into water droplets and fall into the water trough 10 for discharge during the process from the vent to the air conditioning inlet 6. This can prevent a large amount of air containing water mist from directly entering the air conditioner from the air inlet.

[0039] In one feasible implementation, the air conditioning intake plate 2 is provided with a plurality of air intake holes, which are used to connect the top space of the air conditioning intake plate 2 with the bottom space of the ventilation trim body 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the air conditioning intake plate 2 has multiple air inlets. These air inlets connect the top space of the air conditioning intake plate 2 with the ventilation holes of the ventilation trim body 1, and further connect the bottom space of the ventilation trim body 1. This allows outside air to enter the bottom space of the ventilation trim body 1 through the air inlets and then enter the air conditioning system through the air conditioning intake port 6 at the bottom of the ventilation trim body 1. Specifically, the air inlets can be round, square, or other shapes. Multiple air inlets are perpendicular to the air conditioning intake plate 2. For ease of manufacturing, the multiple air inlets are evenly distributed in an array on the air conditioning intake plate 2. Specifically, the openings of the air inlets on the air conditioning intake plate 2 are 10mm to 15mm higher than the upper surface of the ventilation trim body, thus effectively preventing rainwater from directly entering the air inlets.

[0041] In one feasible implementation, the ventilated panel structure further includes:

[0042] Impact plate 3, the impact plate 3 is connected to the bottom of the ventilation trim body 1 between the air conditioning inlet 6 and the air conditioning inlet plate 2, and the impact plate 3 is connected to the bottom of the ventilation trim body 1 on the side close to the air conditioning inlet plate 2.

[0043] During heavy rainstorms, the air is filled with water mist and humidity increases. During the air conditioning intake process, the air is mixed with a large amount of water mist and moisture. In this embodiment, the impact plate 3 is connected to the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1 between the air conditioning intake 6 and the air conditioning intake plate 2. This allows the air entering from the air conditioning intake 6 of the air conditioning intake plate 2 to impact the impact plate 3 before flowing to the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1, thus condensing the water mist and moisture in the air onto the impact plate 3. This reduces the moisture content of the air entering the air conditioning system, further preventing water accumulation in the air conditioning filter 7. The impact plate 3 is connected to the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1 near the air conditioning intake plate 2, allowing the water condensed on the impact plate 3 to drip onto the drain trough 10 on the side away from the air conditioning intake 6 and be immediately discharged from the drain trough 10. Specifically, the impact plate 3 can be integrally formed with the ventilation panel body 1.

[0044] In one feasible embodiment, the impact plate 3 is obliquely connected to the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1, and the angle between the impact plate 3 and the ventilation panel body 1 is 60° to 80°.

[0045] In this embodiment, the impact plate 3 is inclinedly connected to the bottom of the ventilation panel body 1, and the bottom of the impact plate 3 is inclined toward the air conditioning intake plate 2. Specifically, the angle between the impact plate 3 and the ventilation panel body 1 is 60° to 80°, which can achieve a better impact condensation effect, thereby better reducing the water mist and moisture in the air entering the air conditioning intake 6.

[0046] In one feasible implementation, the ventilated decorative panel body 1 has an installation groove, and the top of the impact plate 3 is provided with an installation plate that cooperates with the installation groove, and the installation plate is connected in the installation groove.

[0047] In this embodiment, when it is difficult to integrally form the impact plate 3 and the ventilation trim body 1, the ventilation trim body 1 is provided with an installation groove, and the top of the impact plate 3 is provided with an installation plate that cooperates with the installation groove. The installation plate is connected in the installation groove. Specifically, the installation plate can be connected to the installation groove by welding, or the installation plate can be snapped into the installation groove.

[0048] In one feasible implementation, the ventilated panel structure further includes:

[0049] First connecting plate 4, one end of the first connecting plate 4 is connected to the windshield assembly 5, and the end of the first connecting plate 4 away from the windshield assembly 5 is connected to the ventilation trim body 1.

[0050] The second connecting plate 8 is connected to the end of the ventilation trim body 1 away from the first connecting plate 4, and the end of the second connecting plate 8 away from the ventilation trim body 1 is connected to the sheet metal assembly 9.

[0051] In this embodiment, the ventilation trim structure further includes a first connecting plate 4 and a second connecting plate 8. The ventilation trim body 1 is connected to the vehicle body through the first connecting plate 4 and the second connecting plate 8. Specifically, one end of the first connecting plate 4 is connected to the windshield assembly 5, the end of the first connecting plate 4 away from the windshield assembly 5 is connected to the ventilation trim body 1, the second connecting plate 8 is connected to the end of the ventilation trim body 1 away from the first connecting plate 4, and the end of the second connecting plate 8 away from the ventilation trim body 1 is connected to the sheet metal assembly 9.

[0052] In one feasible implementation, a water baffle is provided at the connection point between the ventilation trim panel body 1 and the first connecting plate 4. The water baffle can block rainwater flowing down from the windshield assembly 5 and allow it to flow down from both sides of the water baffle, thereby preventing a large amount of rainwater from flowing directly onto the ventilation trim panel body 1 and reducing the amount of rainwater flowing onto the ventilation trim panel body 1.

[0053] Figure 1 In the diagram, the darker arrows represent the airflow paths, while the lighter arrows represent the waterflow paths. Figure 2 The arrows in the diagram indicate the airflow path.

[0054] Based on the same concept, one embodiment of this application provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a ventilated trim panel structure as described above disposed on the vehicle body.

[0055] Vehicles equipped with the above-mentioned ventilation panel structure can completely separate the water passage and air passage of the ventilation panel body 1, thereby preventing the air conditioner from drawing in a large amount of gas containing water mist through the water channel 10, and thus preventing water accumulation and mold growth in the air conditioning filter 7.
