Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air conditioning technology, and relates to a parking air conditioner and a vehicle structure using the same. Background Technology

[0002] A parking air conditioner, also known as a vehicle air conditioner, is an air conditioner that runs continuously using the vehicle's DC power supply while the vehicle is parked, waiting, or resting. It regulates and controls parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow in the vehicle's interior to fully meet the needs of the driver and passengers.

[0003] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in existing parking air conditioners, the outdoor unit is placed on the horizontal bottom surface of the trailer, with the back of the outdoor unit facing the vertical side of the trailer. The radiator is located behind the outdoor unit. This arrangement creates a large space between the radiator and the vertical side, so the air cannot flow through the back of the air conditioner in a concentrated manner. As a result, less air flows through the radiator, which affects the radiator's heat dissipation effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a parking air conditioner and a vehicle structure using the same, which solves the technical problem of poor heat dissipation caused by less gas flowing through the radiator in traditional parking air conditioners by changing the installation position of the parking air conditioner on the vehicle.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, according to one aspect of this application, an embodiment of the present invention provides a parking air conditioner for a vehicle having a towing portion and a trailer portion connected together. The trailer portion includes a horizontally arranged bottom surface, and a side surface extending upward from the side of the bottom surface near the towing portion. The parking air conditioner is disposed on the side surface with a gap between the two. The parking air conditioner includes a housing, an electrical control box, and a radiator, with the electrical control box located inside the housing and the radiator disposed close to the electrical control box.

[0006] In some embodiments, one side of the heat sink is in close contact with the electrical control box, and the other side of the heat sink extends outward toward the side of the housing, with a gap between the outwardly extending portion of the heat sink and the side.

[0007] In some embodiments, the parking air conditioner further includes a fan assembly and a condenser assembly, which are located on one side of the housing, and the electrical control box is located on the other side of the housing.

[0008] In some embodiments, the parking air conditioner further includes a flow guide assembly, which is located on one side of the cavity along with the fan assembly and the condenser assembly; and one end of the flow guide assembly is connected to the fan assembly, while the other end wraps around the outer surface of the condenser assembly.

[0009] In some embodiments, the housing includes a bottom shell and an outer cover, the outer cover being fastened onto the bottom shell to form a cavity for housing the electrical control box, the fan assembly, and the condenser assembly; the bottom shell is fixed to the side.

[0010] In some embodiments, the control box includes a control box housing, a motherboard, and a heating element. The control box housing is arranged parallel to the bottom shell, the motherboard is located inside the control box housing and is parallel to the bottom shell, one side of the motherboard is the heating element, and the other side of the motherboard is the heat sink.

[0011] In some embodiments, an air intake area is formed between the side and the bottom housing, which is used to concentrate the airflow around the parking air conditioner to the radiator.

[0012] In some embodiments, the parking air conditioner also includes a compressor, and the compressor and the control box are located together on the other side of the housing.

[0013] In some embodiments, the long side of the control box is arranged along the long side of the bottom shell, and the short side of the control box is arranged along the short side of the bottom shell.

[0014] According to another aspect of this application, embodiments of the present invention also provide a vehicle structure including the parking air conditioner described above.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the parking air conditioner of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The parking air conditioner provided by the present invention is used in a vehicle. The vehicle has a towing part and a trailer part connected to each other. The trailer part includes a horizontally arranged bottom surface, and a side surface extends upward from the side of the bottom surface near the towing part. The parking air conditioner is arranged on the side surface with a gap between the two. The parking air conditioner includes a housing, an electrical control box and a radiator. The electrical control box is located inside the housing, and the radiator is arranged close to the electrical control box.

[0017] Traditionally, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is placed on the horizontal bottom surface of the trailer, with the back of the outdoor unit facing the vertical side of the trailer. This method creates a large space between the radiator and the vertical side, preventing airflow from concentrating on the back of the air conditioner. Consequently, less air flows through the radiator, affecting its heat dissipation efficiency. In contrast, the air conditioner of this invention is mounted on the side, resulting in a smaller gap between the air conditioner and the side. This allows air to be drawn into the radiator more concentratedly from all sides, carrying away more heat and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0018] On the other hand, the vehicle structure provided by the present invention is designed based on the above-mentioned parking air conditioner, and its beneficial effects are the same as those of the above-mentioned parking air conditioner, which will not be repeated here.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] This embodiment provides a parking air conditioner, which is used in vehicles, such as... Figure 5-17 As shown, the vehicle has a towing part and a trailer part 1 connected to each other. The trailer part 1 includes a horizontally arranged bottom surface 11. The bottom surface 11 extends upward to a side surface 12 on the side surface 12 near the towing part. The parking air conditioner is arranged on the side surface 12 with a gap between them. The parking air conditioner includes a housing 2, an electrical control box 3 and a radiator 4. The electrical control box 3 is located inside the housing 2, and the radiator 4 is arranged close to the electrical control box 3.

[0045] Specifically, the parking air conditioner in this embodiment is used for trucks. Trucks generally have a towing part and a trailer part 1. The trailer part 1 is a cavity for placing goods. The trailer part 1 generally includes a bottom surface 11, and side plates extend upward from all four sides of the bottom surface 11. In this embodiment, the side plate near the towing part is the side 12. In addition, the electrical control box 3 is the main component of the air conditioner. During the operation of the air conditioner, the electrical control box 3 generates a lot of heat. In order to ensure that the heat of the electrical control box 3 can be dissipated, the heat-generating part of the electrical control box 3 is set in close contact with the radiator 4.

[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the traditional method involves placing the outdoor air conditioner unit on the horizontal bottom surface 11 of the trailer, with the back of the outdoor unit facing the vertical side 12 of the trailer. This method allows for a larger space between the radiator 4 and the vertical side 12. Figure 4 In the case of h0, the air cannot flow in a concentrated manner across the rear side of the air conditioner, resulting in less air flowing through the radiator 4 and thus affecting its heat dissipation effect. In this embodiment, since the air conditioner is mounted on the side 12, the gap between the air conditioner and the side 12 is smaller. Figure 8 With h1, air will be drawn into the radiator 4 from all sides in a more concentrated manner, thus carrying away more heat and improving the heat dissipation effect. More specifically, to ensure the air intake effect, the value of h1 is in the range of 30cm-100cm.

[0047] In this embodiment, the heat sink 4 dissipates heat from the electrical control box 3, and the installation position of the air conditioner ensures the ventilation effect of the heat sink 4, so that the air intake direction is changed from the rear of the fan assembly to the air flowing from the rear of the air conditioner to the outer casing 2, thereby increasing the air volume flowing to the heat sink 4, thus better removing more heat from the heat sink 4, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electrical control box 3.

[0048] in addition, Figure 1-4 The accompanying diagrams for the conventional method shown are only for illustrating the placement of the parking air conditioner; other structures (such as the location of the radiator 4) are not part of the prior art.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 9-17 As shown, one side of the radiator 4 is in close contact with the electrical control box 3, and the other side of the radiator 4 extends outward toward the side 12 to the outside of the housing 2, and there is a gap between the outwardly extended part of the radiator 4 and the side 12.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, by placing the heat sink 4 outside the outer casing 2, without occupying the thickness space of the outdoor unit, the overall thickness of the outdoor unit can be reduced, the heat dissipation function can be guaranteed, and the space on the rear side of the outer casing 2 can be fully utilized. This maximizes the heat dissipation area and improves the heat dissipation effect without exceeding the outline edge of the outer casing 2, thus solving the problem of severe overheating of the mainboard of the control box 3.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the parking air conditioner also includes a fan assembly 5 and a condenser assembly 6, which are located on one side inside the housing 2, and the electrical control box 3 is located on the other side inside the housing 2.

[0052] The parking air conditioner also includes a compressor 8, which and the electrical control box 3 are located together on the other side inside the housing 2.

[0053] In traditional air conditioner outdoor unit structures, the layout of the fan assembly 5, condenser assembly 6, compressor 8, and electrical control box 3 is chaotic. The electrical control box 3 is generally placed in the middle of the outer casing, which results in a large overall size of the air conditioner outdoor unit and causes waste. In this embodiment, the fan assembly 5 and condenser assembly 6 are located on one side of the cavity, and the compressor 8 and electrical control box 3 are located on the other side of the cavity, making full use of the internal space of the outdoor unit and allowing the overall size of the unit to be reduced.

[0054] In addition, in traditional air conditioner structures, the electrical control box is placed in the center of the inner shell, and its length direction is consistent with the thickness direction of the outer shell, which means that the length direction of the main board is also the same, resulting in a large thickness. In this embodiment, the electrical control box 3 is set parallel to the bottom surface of the outer shell 2, that is, the main board in the electrical control box 3 is also placed parallel to the bottom surface of the outer shell 2. Under this arrangement, the width of the electrical control box 3 in the thickness direction of the outer shell is minimized, which can reduce the thickness of the entire unit.

[0055] Existing parking outdoor units, while meeting performance requirements, are generally large and thick. Furthermore, the radiators 4 mounted on the outdoor unit's electrical control box 3 are almost always placed behind the fan assembly 5, using the fan assembly 5 to remove hot air from the radiators 4 for cooling. However, this design has limited heat dissipation area because the radiators 4 are longitudinally distributed behind the fan assembly 5, forming a 90° angle with both the mainboard 32 and the radiator itself, and are located inside the casing. Additionally, the length of the electrical control box 3 aligns with the thickness of the outdoor unit, resulting in a very thick and large outdoor unit. The size of radiator 4 cannot be designed to be too large because it cannot be accommodated. Therefore, to improve the heat dissipation effect, the size of radiator 4 is increased. However, the larger radiator 4 is, the larger and thicker the overall outdoor unit will be. In other words, the heat dissipation effect and the overall thickness of the outdoor unit cannot be reconciled, thus limiting the heat dissipation area. Moreover, due to the placement, some heat cannot be dissipated and may even be transferred to the side of the compressor 8. This design placement also increases the size and thickness of the outdoor unit. Furthermore, with the improvement of air conditioning functions and performance, the electrical control box and main board will need to be larger because the load will be greater.

[0056] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment features a smaller and thinner outdoor unit, significantly reducing costs. The optimized placement of the radiator 4 also accommodates future improvements in air conditioning functionality and performance. In such cases, the load will continuously increase, requiring the control box 3 and mainboard to grow larger. Current market solutions would only increase the size and thickness of the outer casing, not only raising costs but also severely limiting the heat dissipation area. Furthermore, the radiator 4 is more prone to detachment and damage during truck operation. However, this embodiment optimizes the layout of the radiator 4 within the control box 3, allowing it to be installed without exceeding the edge of the bottom casing while increasing its size and heat dissipation area, thus improving heat dissipation and resolving the issue of severe overheating of the mainboard in the control box 3.

[0057] To better understand the layout in this embodiment, the following detailed explanation is provided: The inner cavity of the outer shell 2 is divided into a first cavity on the left and a second cavity on the right. When the fan assembly 5 and the condenser assembly 6 are located in the first cavity, the compressor 8 and the electrical control box 3 are located in the second cavity; conversely, when the fan assembly 5 and the condenser assembly 6 are located in the second cavity, the compressor 8 and the electrical control box 3 are located in the first cavity.

[0058] In addition, the control box 3 is located above the compressor 8. In the first cavity or the second cavity, the control box 3 is located above the compressor 8. Moreover, the control box 3 is preferably located at the top of the first cavity or the second cavity. This can also prevent the safety hazards caused by condensate flowing into the control box 3 due to its low position, thereby improving the safety of the entire outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the parking air conditioner also includes a flow guide assembly 7, which is located on one side of the cavity along with the fan assembly 5 and the condenser assembly 6; one end of the flow guide assembly 7 is connected to the fan assembly 5, and the other end wraps around the outer surface of the condenser assembly 6.

[0060] The airflow guiding component 7 includes an airflow guide, which can facilitate airflow, improve the speed and stability of airflow, and block external impurities to keep the interior clean. In the specific implementation process, the elevation angle of the airflow guide can also be adjusted as needed.

[0061] The air deflector is placed on the same side as the condenser assembly 6 and the fan assembly 5, and is installed on the fan assembly 5 and the condenser assembly 6, wrapping around the condenser to facilitate heat dissipation. The condenser assembly 6 includes the condenser, which is a type of heat exchanger that can convert gas or vapor into liquid and quickly transfer heat from the tubes to the air near the tubes. The condenser's operation is an exothermic process, so the condenser's temperature is generally high. Wrapping around the condenser prevents more hot air from escaping into the space on the compressor 8 side. More specifically, the other end of the air deflector can be wrapped around the outer surface of the condenser assembly 6 using clips or screws.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the outer shell 2 includes a bottom shell 21 and an outer cover 22. The outer cover 22 is fastened onto the bottom shell 21 to form a cavity for housing the electrical control box 3, the fan assembly 5, and the condenser assembly 6. The bottom shell 21 is fixed to the side surface 12. The distance between the bottom shell 21 and the side surface 12 is 30cm-100cm.

[0063] Specifically, the outer cover 22 can be connected and fixed to the bottom shell 21 in various ways, such as fixing the outer cover 22 to the bottom shell 21 with screws, fixing the outer cover 22 to the bottom shell 21 by the cooperation of the slot and the boss, or welding the outer cover 22 directly to the bottom shell 21. After the outer cover 22 and the bottom shell 21 are fitted together, a cavity is formed between the two, and the components of the air conditioner outdoor unit are placed in the cavity.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, the control box 3 includes a control box housing 31, a main board 32, and a heating element 33. The control box housing 31 is arranged parallel to the bottom shell 21. The main board 32 is located inside the control box housing 31 and is parallel to the bottom shell 21. One side of the main board 32 is the heating element 33, and the other side is the heat sink 4. Specifically, the bottom of the control box housing 31 is the main board 32, which has the heating element 33. In order to dissipate heat from the heating element 33, a heat sink 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the main board 32. In this embodiment, the heat sink 4 is placed on the rear side of the bottom shell 21, which does not occupy the space inside the cavity, allowing the overall thickness of the outdoor unit to be thinner.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, an air intake area is formed between the side panel 12 and the bottom shell 21, such as Figure 5-8 The area indicated by the middle arrow, the air intake area, causes the air around the parking air conditioner to flow concentrated towards the radiator 4.

[0066] Specifically, by using rear-mounted air intake and suction, and utilizing the structural layout of the vehicle shell and the layout of the fan assembly 5, the airflow is directed to flow from directly behind the fan assembly 5, transforming the airflow from the rear perimeter of the bottom shell 21 to the condenser assembly 6, as shown below. Figure 13-15 The arrow in the image indicates that the airflow to the heatsink 4 on the motherboard 32 is increased, thereby better removing more heat from the heatsink 4, condenser assembly 6, and then being exhausted by the fan assembly 5, thus solving the problem of poor heat dissipation of the motherboard 32.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, the long side of the control box 3 is arranged along the long side of the bottom shell 21, and the short side of the control box 3 is arranged along the short side of the bottom shell 21. That is, the long side of the control box 3 is parallel to the long side of the bottom shell 21, and the short side of the control box 3 is parallel to the short side of the bottom shell 21. The control box 3 is arranged on the bottom shell 21 in a "flat" manner. In this arrangement, the thickness of the outdoor unit casing occupied by the control box 3 is minimized, which can make the overall thickness of the air conditioner outdoor unit thinner, reduce costs, and prevent the outdoor unit from loosening and falling off due to bumps during truck operation. Furthermore, the sheet metal of the truck assembling the outdoor unit is generally 1-2mm thick. With a smaller outdoor unit, the center of gravity is closer to the truck sheet metal, the cantilever is also smaller, and the weight is reduced. Therefore, the strength requirements of the truck sheet metal can also be reduced.

[0068] In the parking air conditioner provided in this embodiment, the radiator 4 is completely placed on the outside, and the airflow direction will completely pass through the entire radiator 4, taking away more heat from the radiator 4, resulting in better heat dissipation. The air is then discharged through the condenser assembly 6 and the fan assembly 5. Moreover, by using the rear air intake and suction, and utilizing the structural layout of the car shell and the layout of the fan assembly 5, the airflow direction is changed so that the airflow enters from directly behind the fan assembly 5, and then flows from the rear perimeter of the bottom shell 21 to the condenser assembly 6, increasing the airflow to the radiator 4 on the main board 32, thereby better removing more heat from the radiator. After the condenser assembly, the air is discharged by the fan assembly, thus solving the problem of poor heat dissipation of the main board 32. Furthermore, the outside of the bottom shell 21 is simply where the entire radiator 4 is placed, with a very small gap between the radiator 4 and the bottom shell 21, resulting in a good sealing effect. In addition, there are no openings around the back of the radiator 4, which provides better insect and rodent prevention.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] This embodiment provides a vehicle structure, which includes the parking air conditioner of Embodiment 1.

[0071] Specifically, the vehicle structure in this embodiment is a truck. After applying the parking air conditioner from Embodiment 1 to the truck, the overall thickness of the air conditioner outdoor unit structure is reduced, thus preventing the outdoor unit from becoming loose, falling off, or being damaged due to bumps during vehicle operation. At the same time, the thickness of the sheet metal of the vehicle's outdoor unit is generally 1-2mm. With a smaller outdoor unit, the center of gravity is closer to the truck's sheet metal, the cantilever is also smaller, and the weight is reduced. Therefore, the strength requirements for the vehicle's sheet metal can also be reduced, indirectly reducing the cost of the vehicle's sheet metal. More importantly, the installation position of the parking air conditioner ensures the ventilation effect of the radiator, so that the airflow is changed from flowing in from directly behind the fan assembly to flowing from the rear of the air conditioner to the outer casing. This increases the airflow to the radiator, thereby better removing more heat from the radiator, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electrical control box, and ensuring a suitable temperature inside the truck during operation.

[0072] In summary, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that, without conflict, the aforementioned advantageous technical features can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0073] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
