Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and in particular to a seat bucket air guide structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric two-wheelers, if the battery temperature becomes too high during operation, it will affect the battery and cause inconvenience to people's travel. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the problem of electric vehicle batteries overheating during use by providing a new seat bucket airflow structure.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A seat bucket air duct structure includes a controller module, a frame, a seat bucket, and a battery assembly. The battery assembly is fixed inside the seat bucket. The structure also includes a ventilation duct and a fan assembly. The seat bucket is fixed to the frame and has a bottom air duct and a seat bucket air inlet. The seat bucket air inlet communicates with the bottom air duct. One end of the ventilation duct is connected to the fan assembly, and the other end of the ventilation duct is connected to the seat bucket air inlet. There is a gap between the battery assembly and the inner wall of the seat bucket that communicates with the bottom air duct. The controller module is electrically connected to the battery assembly and the fan assembly.
[0006] The controller module works in conjunction with the fan assembly to generate airflow. The airflow generated by the fan assembly enters the interior of the seat bucket through the ventilation duct, and is dispersed by the bottom air guide groove before entering the gap between the battery assembly and the inner wall of the seat bucket, which is connected to the bottom air guide groove, thus achieving a good cooling effect.
[0007] Preferably, the above-described air guide structure for a seat bucket further includes a bottom air guide plate, wherein a bottom air guide groove is disposed on the bottom air guide plate.
[0008] The bottom air guide channel is set on the bottom air guide plate, which reduces the difficulty of processing the seat bucket and also reduces the cost.
[0009] Preferably, in the above-described seat bucket air guiding structure, the bottom air guiding groove opens upwards, the bottom air guiding plate is provided with a bottom air guiding port, the bottom air guiding plate is placed inside the seat bucket and abuts against the bottom of the inner side of the seat bucket, the upper surface of the bottom air guiding plate abuts against the battery assembly, the bottom air guiding groove opens upwards, and the seat bucket air inlet, the bottom air guiding port, and the bottom air guiding groove are connected.
[0010] The bottom air guide slot opens upwards. When the air generated by the fan assembly enters the bottom air guide slot through the air inlet of the seat and the bottom air guide, it will come into contact with the battery assembly and play a role in cooling.
[0011] Preferably, in the above-described air guide structure for a seat bucket, the bottom air guide plate is further provided with a bottom air duct baffle, the vertical projection of which covers the bottom air guide opening.
[0012] The bottom air duct baffle can prevent air from blowing directly onto the battery pack, which could cause uneven temperature distribution during the heat dissipation process.
[0013] Preferably, the above-described air-guiding structure for the seat bucket further includes a central air-guiding plate, which is located in the middle of the internal space of the seat bucket and connected to the seat bucket. The battery assembly includes an upper battery pack and a lower battery pack, with the lower battery pack placed on the bottom air-guiding plate and the upper battery pack placed on the central air-guiding plate. An air-guiding space is provided between the lower surface of the central air-guiding plate and the top of the lower battery pack.
[0014] Dividing the battery pack into two parts and separating them with a central air deflector improves cooling and prevents the upper battery pack from compressing the lower one. The air deflector design also allows for faster airflow within the seat.
[0015] Preferably, in the above-described air-guiding structure for a toilet seat, the central air-guiding plate includes a bottom plate, a side plate, and a flow-guiding support plate. A central air-guiding port is provided on the bottom plate. The side plate and the flow-guiding support plate are disposed on the bottom plate. The side plate and the bottom plate together form a central air-guiding space. The flow-guiding support plate divides the central air-guiding space into central air-guiding grooves that communicate with the central air-guiding port. The number of central air-guiding grooves is greater than 1. The upper surfaces of the side plate and the flow-guiding support plate are flush.
[0016] The airflow guide plate divides the central airflow space and forms a central airflow channel that is connected to the central airflow port. The airflow enters from the central airflow port and is divided and dispersed to both sides, which can achieve a better uniform heat dissipation effect and prevent uneven temperature of the upper battery assembly during the heat dissipation process.
[0017] Preferably, in the above-described air guide structure for a seat bucket, the central air guide plate further includes a central baffle plate, which is connected to the side plate and the flow guide support plate respectively. The vertical projection of the central baffle plate covers the central air guide port, and the upper surfaces of the central baffle plate, the side plate, and the flow guide support plate are flush.
[0018] The central baffle prevents airflow from entering through the central air vent from directly hitting the upper battery pack, thus avoiding uneven temperature distribution of the upper battery pack during heat dissipation.
[0019] Preferably, in the above-described air-guiding structure for the seat bucket, the upper edge of the side plate is provided with a laterally extending rim, and the seat bucket is provided with a central step, wherein the laterally extending rim cooperates with the central step.
[0020] The lateral extension edging cooperates with the central step to detachably connect the central air guide plate to the seat bucket.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned air-guiding structure for the seat bucket, a seat bucket mesh is provided at the air inlet of the seat bucket.
[0022] The mesh design of the seat compartment prevents debris from entering the compartment, providing some protection for the battery components while also ensuring breathability.
[0023] Preferably, in the above-described seat bucket air guiding structure, the side of the seat bucket is provided with an inner protrusion that protrudes into the seat bucket, the number of the inner protrusions is at least two, and an outer protrusion is formed between adjacent inner protrusions. The outer protrusion forms a longitudinal air guiding groove inside the seat bucket, and the longitudinal air guiding groove is connected to the bottom air guiding groove.
[0024] The inner protrusion can restrict the horizontal movement of the battery pack, preventing damage to the battery pack due to bumps during electric vehicle operation. The longitudinal air guide channel facilitates the airflow inside the seat bucket, making the airflow inside the seat bucket faster and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0025] Preferably, in the above-described air-guiding structure for a seat bucket, the number of the inner protrusions is at least three.
[0026] The number of internal protrusions should be at least three to better ensure the efficiency of gas flow inside the seat.
[0027] Preferably, in the above-described air guide structure for a seat bucket, the tops of each of the longitudinal air guide slots are connected.
[0028] The top of the longitudinal air guide duct is connected, which helps to integrate the airflow and improve the gas flow efficiency.
[0029] Preferably, in the above-described seat bucket air guiding structure, the opening of the bottom air guiding groove faces downward, the bottom air guiding plate includes a bottom heat guiding plate and a bottom air guiding support, the upper surface of the bottom heat guiding plate abuts against the battery assembly, the lower surface of the bottom heat guiding plate is connected to the upper end of the bottom air guiding support, the lower end of the bottom air guiding support abuts against the bottom surface of the inner side of the seat bucket, and the bottom air guiding plate is a good conductor of heat.
[0030] The upper surface of the bottom heat-conducting plate abuts against the battery assembly. Gas enters the bottom air guide channel from the air inlet of the seat bucket. With the cooperation of the bottom heat-conducting plate, the battery assembly is cooled down, and the probability of uneven heating and cooling of the battery is reduced.
[0031] Preferably, in the above-described air-guiding structure for a seat bucket, the fan assembly includes a fan and a heater, and the fan and the heater are electrically connected to the controller module.
[0032] In winter, when temperatures are low, the battery pack charging efficiency is low and the battery capacity is reduced. The heater can heat the air generated by the fan, and the fan will transfer the heat generated by the heater to the inside of the seat through airflow. Under the action of the bottom air guide channel, the battery pack is heated evenly, ensuring the charging efficiency of the battery pack.
[0033] Preferably, in the above-described air-guiding structure for a seat bucket, a flexible sealing plug is provided on the seat bucket, and a cable outlet hole is provided on the flexible sealing plug.
[0034] The wiring harness inside the seat bucket passes through the outlet hole on the flexible sealing plug, which can seal the space inside the seat bucket to a certain extent and play a role in heat preservation. Attached Figure Description
