[0002] In related technologies, the internal flow channels of automotive air conditioners are mostly single-layer or double-layered. For double-layered flow channels, the air conditioning unit has a separate mechanical structure designed to divide the flow into layers. Since the layering of this mechanical structure extends from the air inlet to the outlet, it does not have the function of adjustable layering ratio, thus failing to meet the user's needs for different air volume distribution ratios and reducing the user's experience. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0034] The following is for reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2An air conditioning housing assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The air conditioning housing assembly 100 can be applied to an air conditioning system, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The air conditioning housing assembly 100 can be applied to other devices that require the installation of the air conditioning housing assembly 100. This application takes the application of the air conditioning housing assembly 100 in the air conditioning system of a vehicle as an example for description.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing body 1, within which a first air duct 11, a second air duct 12, and a third air duct 13 are formed. The housing body 1 has a first air inlet 1a and a first air outlet 1b communicating with the first air duct 11. The housing body 1 also has a second air inlet 2a and a second air outlet 2b communicating with the second air duct 12. The third air duct 13 has a third inlet 3a and a third outlet 3b, both of which selectively communicate with the first air duct 11, and the third air duct 13 selectively connects to the second air duct 12. Figure 1 As shown, when both the third inlet 3a and the third outlet 3b are connected to the first air duct 11, the third air duct 13 is not connected to the second air duct 12. Figure 2 As shown, when the third inlet 3a and the third outlet 3b are not connected to the first air duct 11, the third air duct 13 is connected to the second air duct 12.
[0036] Therefore, the third inlet 3a and the third outlet 3b are selectively connected to the first air duct 11, and the third air duct 13 selectively connects to the second air duct 12, thereby changing the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12, and thus meeting the user's needs for different air volume distribution ratios.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air inlet 1a can be selectively connected to the external environment of the vehicle, and the first air outlet 1b can be selectively connected to the passenger compartment of the vehicle, thereby achieving the effect of selectively connecting the external environment and the passenger compartment of the first air duct 11, so that fresh air from the external environment can flow into the first air duct 11 from the first air inlet 1a, and fresh air can flow into the passenger compartment from the first air outlet 1b, thereby achieving the effect of delivering fresh air from the external environment to the passenger compartment.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second air inlet 2a and the second air outlet 2b can be selectively connected to the passenger compartment so that the circulating air in the passenger compartment can flow into the second air duct 12 from the second air inlet 2a and into the passenger compartment from the second air outlet 2b, thereby achieving the effect of circulating air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100 in the passenger compartment.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, when both the third inlet 3a and the third outlet 3b are connected to the first air duct 11, the third air duct 13 is connected to the first air duct 11, but not to the second air duct 12. The airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is 1. Figure 2 As shown, the third air duct 13 is not connected to the first air duct 11, but it is connected to the second air duct 12. The airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is ratio two. For example, if the airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is ratio one, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the volume of the first air duct 11 is equal to the volume of the second air duct 12, so that the airflow through the first air duct 11 is equal to the airflow through the second air duct 12 in the casing body 1. When the airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is ratio two, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the volume of the second air duct 12 is greater than the volume of the first air duct 11, and the airflow through the first air duct 11 is less than the airflow through the second air duct 12 within the housing body 1.
[0040] Therefore, according to the air conditioner housing assembly 100 of the invention, by setting the third inlet 3a and the third outlet 3b to be selectively connected to the first air duct 11, and the third air duct 13 to selectively connect to the second air duct 12, the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 can be changed, thereby meeting the user's needs for different air volume distribution ratios and improving the user's experience.
[0041] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the flow direction of fresh air and recirculated air.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the third air duct 13 can be located within the first air duct 11 or the second air duct. In some embodiments of the present invention, the third air duct 13 is located within the first air duct 11 as an example for illustration.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, when the third air duct 13 is connected to the first air duct 11 but not to the second air duct 12, the airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is achieved as ratio one. When the third air duct 13 is not connected to the first air duct 11 but is connected to the second air duct 12, the airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is achieved as ratio two.
[0044] Therefore, the third inlet 3a and the third outlet 3b are selectively connected to the first air duct 11, and the third air duct 13 selectively connects to the second air duct 12, thereby changing the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a duct cavity 10 is formed inside the shell body 1. The duct cavity 10 has a first partition 2, which divides the duct cavity 10 into a first duct 11 and a second duct 12. The first duct 11 or the second duct has a second partition 3, which is spaced apart from the first partition 2 so that the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 together define a third duct 13, thereby achieving the effect that the duct cavity 10 has a first duct 11, a second duct 12 and a third duct 13.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air duct cavity 10 is constructed as a cavity structure so that fresh air and recirculated air can flow through the shell body 1, thereby achieving the effect of fresh air flowing from the external environment into the passenger compartment through the air conditioning shell assembly 100, and achieving the effect of recirculated air circulating in the passenger compartment through the air conditioning shell assembly 100.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first partition 2 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing body 1, thereby achieving the effect of the first partition 2 dividing the air duct cavity 10 into the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12. Furthermore, the first partition 2 divides the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 into two cavity structures, thereby achieving the effect that the air volume ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 is one.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second partition 3 is disposed within the first air duct 11 as an example. The second partition 3 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing body 1, and the second partition 3 is located within the first air duct 11, thereby achieving the effect of the second partition 3 dividing the first air duct 11 into a third air duct 13. When the third air duct 13 is connected to the first air duct 11 but not connected to the second air duct 12, the airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is ratio one. When the third air duct 13 is not connected to the first air duct 11 but is connected to the second air duct 12, the airflow ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is ratio two. Thus, the effect of changing the airflow distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 is achieved, thereby changing the airflow of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12, and thus meeting the user's needs for different airflow distribution ratios.
[0049] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, when the third air duct 13 is connected to the first air duct 11 and the third air duct 13 is not connected to the second air duct 12, this application uses the example of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 having equal volumes for explanation, but this application is not limited to this. For example, in the above mode, the volume of the first air duct 11 can be greater than or less than the volume of the second air duct 12, and the ratio of the volume of the first air duct 11 to the volume of the second air duct 12 can be set according to specific circumstances.
[0050] Furthermore, this application uses the example of the third air duct 13 being located within the first air duct 11 for illustration, but this application does not limit the volume ratio of the third air duct 13 to the first air duct 11. The volume ratio of the third air duct 13 to the first air duct 11 can be set according to specific circumstances.
[0051] Therefore, it can be understood that, according to the air conditioning housing assembly 100 of this application, the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 can be set according to specific circumstances, so that the air conditioning housing assembly 100 can be applied to air conditioning systems with different usage needs, thereby realizing the application of the air conditioning system to vehicles with different usage needs.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner housing assembly 100 may further include: a first damper 4, a first partition 2 having a first through hole 21, the first through hole 21 communicating with a third air duct 13, the first damper 4 selectively opening or closing the third inlet 3a or the first through hole 21, thereby achieving the effect of selectively communicating the third air duct 13 with the first air duct 11 or the second air duct 12, thereby achieving the effect of changing the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12.
[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first damper 4 is in the closed state, the first damper 4 opens the third inlet 3a, and the first damper 4 closes the first through hole 21, so that the first air duct 11 is connected to the third air duct 13, and the third air duct 13 is not connected to the second air duct 12, so that the air volume ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is equal. Figure 2 As shown, the first damper 4 is in the open state, the first damper 4 closes the third inlet 3a, and the first damper 4 opens the first through hole 21 so that the first air duct 11 and the third air duct 13 are not connected, and the third air duct 13 is connected to the second air duct 12, so that the air volume ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is two.
[0054] Thus, by selectively opening or closing the third inlet 3a or the first through hole 21 through the first damper 4, the third air duct 13 can be selectively connected to the first air duct 11 or the second air duct 12, thereby changing the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner housing assembly 100 may further include: a second damper 5, and the first partition 2 further has a second through hole 22, which is connected to the third air duct 13. The second damper 5 selectively opens or closes the third outlet 3b or the second through hole 22, thereby achieving the effect of selectively connecting the third air duct 13 with the first air duct 11 or the second air duct 12, and thus achieving the effect of changing the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12.
[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second damper 5 is in the closed state, the second damper 5 opens the third outlet 3b, and the second damper 5 closes the second through hole 22, so that the first air duct 11 is connected to the third air duct 13, and the third air duct 13 is not connected to the second air duct 12, so that the air volume ratio of the first air duct 11 to the second air duct 12 is equal. Figure 2 As shown, the second damper 5 is in the open state, the second damper 5 closes the third outlet 3b, and the first damper 4 opens the first through hole 21 so that the first air duct 11 and the third air duct 13 are not connected, and the third air duct 13 is connected to the second air duct 12, so that the air volume ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 is two.
[0057] Thus, by selectively opening or closing the third outlet 3b or the second through hole 22 through the second damper 5, the third air duct 13 can be selectively connected to the first air duct 11 or the second air duct 12, thereby changing the air volume distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, both the first damper 4 and the second damper 5 are closed, allowing the third air duct 13 to connect with the first air duct 11, achieving a ratio of one between the airflow of the first air duct 11 and the airflow of the second air duct 12. Figure 2 As shown, both the first damper 4 and the second damper 5 are open, allowing the third air duct 13 to connect with the second air duct 12, achieving a ratio of 2:1 between the airflow of the first air duct 11 and the airflow of the second air duct 12. Therefore, by selectively connecting the third air duct 13 with the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12, the airflow distribution ratio of the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12 can be changed, thereby meeting the user's needs for different airflow distribution ratios and improving the user experience.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first damper 4 and / or the second damper 5 are movably disposed on the first partition 2. This can also be understood as meaning that both the first damper 4 and the second damper 5 are movably disposed on the first partition 2, or that either the first damper 4 or the second damper 5 is movably disposed on the first partition 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application takes the example of the first damper 4 and the second damper 5 being movably provided on the first partition 2. This achieves the effect of the first damper 4 selectively opening or closing the third inlet 3a or the first through hole 21, and the effect of the second damper 5 selectively opening or closing the third outlet 3b or the second through hole 22, thereby achieving the effect of the third air duct 13 selectively communicating with the first air duct 11 and the second air duct 12.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shell body 1 may also have a fourth air inlet 1c that communicates with the first air duct 11. The fourth air inlet 1c may be selectively connected to the crew compartment so that the circulating air of the crew compartment can flow into the first air duct 11 from the fourth air inlet 1c, so that the circulating air flowing into the first air duct 11 from the fourth air inlet 1c mixes with the fresh air flowing into the first air duct 11 from the first air inlet 1a, thereby achieving the effect of mixing circulating air and fresh air.
[0061] Furthermore, this application takes the vehicle's air conditioning system in heating mode as an example. When the air conditioning system is in heating mode, the temperature of the circulating air in the passenger compartment is higher than the temperature of the fresh air in the external environment. When the fresh air and the circulating air mix in the first air duct 11, the heat of the circulating air is transferred to the fresh air, thereby raising the temperature of the fresh air and achieving the effect of heating the fresh air with the heat of the circulating air, which in turn helps to improve the heating effect of the air conditioning system.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing body 1 may also have a fourth air outlet 1d and a fifth air outlet 2c. The fourth air outlet 1d is connected to the first air duct 11, and the fifth air outlet 2c is connected to the second air duct 12. The first air inlet 1a, the first air outlet 1b, the second air inlet 2a, the second air outlet 2b, the fourth air inlet 1c, the fourth air outlet 1d, and the fifth air outlet 2c are all selectively opened or closed.
[0063] Furthermore, the fourth air outlet 1d is selectively connected to the passenger compartment, so that fresh air and / or recirculated air flowing through the first air duct 11 can flow into the passenger compartment from the fourth air outlet 1d, achieving the effect of fresh air and / or recirculated air flowing into the passenger compartment through the air conditioning housing assembly 100. Furthermore, the fifth air outlet 2c is selectively connected to the passenger compartment, so that recirculated air flowing through the second air duct 12 can flow into the passenger compartment from the fifth air outlet 2c, achieving the effect of recirculated air circulating within the passenger compartment through the air conditioning housing assembly 100.
[0064] Furthermore, because the first air inlet 1a selectively opens or closes, it achieves the effect of selectively connecting the external environment with the first air duct 11. When the first air inlet 1a is open, fresh air from the external environment flows into the first air duct 11 through the first air inlet 1a. The second air inlet 2a selectively opens or closes, achieving the effect of selectively connecting the passenger compartment with the second air duct 12. When the second air inlet 2a is open, the recirculated air in the passenger compartment flows into the first air duct 11 through the second air inlet 2a. The fourth air inlet 1c selectively opens or closes, achieving the effect of selectively connecting the passenger compartment with the first air duct 11. When the fourth air inlet 1c is open, the recirculated air in the passenger compartment flows into the first air duct 11 through the fourth air inlet 1c.
[0065] The fourth air outlet 1d selectively opens or closes, enabling the first air duct 11 to selectively connect with the passenger compartment. When the fourth air outlet 1d is open, it allows fresh air and / or recirculated air flowing through the first air duct 11 to flow into the passenger compartment through the fourth air outlet 1d. The fifth air outlet 2c selectively opens or closes, enabling the second air duct 12 to selectively connect with the passenger compartment. When the fifth air outlet 2c is open, it allows recirculated air flowing through the second air duct 12 to return to the passenger compartment through the fifth air outlet 2c.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air inlet 1a is adapted to connect to the outside of the vehicle, and the fourth air inlet 1c is adapted to connect to the inside of the vehicle. The opening of the first air inlet 1a and the fourth air inlet 1c is controlled by the third air damper 6a and the fourth air damper 6b, respectively.
[0067] The first air inlet 1a is adapted to connect to the external environment, and the fourth air inlet 1c is adapted to connect to the passenger compartment. When the third air door 6a and the fourth air door 6b are opened, the circulating air in the passenger compartment flows into the first air duct 11 from the fourth air inlet 1c, and the fresh air from the external environment flows into the first air duct 11 from the first air inlet 1a, thereby achieving the effect of mixing circulating air and fresh air.
[0068] Furthermore, the opening of the first air inlet 1a is controlled by the third damper 6a to control the amount of fresh air flowing into the first air duct 11, and the opening of the fourth air inlet 1c is controlled by the fourth damper 6b to control the amount of circulating air flowing into the first air duct 11. Thus, the openings of the first air inlet 1a and the fourth air inlet 1c are controlled by the third damper 6a and the fourth damper 6b, respectively, achieving the effect of adjusting the mixing ratio of circulating air and fresh air within the first air duct 11. In some embodiments of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner housing assembly 100 may further include an evaporator 8 and a heater 9, with at least a portion of the structure of the evaporator 8 and the heater 9 provided in the first air duct 11, the second air duct 12 and the third air duct 13.
[0069] Furthermore, the evaporator 8 exchanges heat with the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100. The evaporator 8 releases heat to the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100, thereby increasing the temperature of the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100. Alternatively, the evaporator 8 absorbs heat from the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100, thereby decreasing the temperature of the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application uses the vehicle's air conditioning system in heating mode as an example. When the air conditioning system is in heating mode, the evaporator 8 is used to absorb the heat of the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100, thereby reducing the temperature of the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100. When the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100 passes through the evaporator 8, the water vapor contained in the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100 condenses upon contact with the evaporator, thereby reducing the humidity of the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100. This allows for the delivery of air with suitable humidity to the passenger compartment, improving the user's experience.
[0070] Furthermore, the heater 9 is used to heat the air flowing through the air conditioner housing assembly 100, thereby increasing the temperature of the air flowing through the air conditioner housing assembly 100. And, along the flow direction of the air flowing through the air conditioner housing assembly 100 (i.e., Figure 1 and Figure 2(Indicated by the middle arrow) The heater 9 is located downstream of the evaporator 8 so that the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100 is cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator 8 and then flows through the heater 9. The heater 9 heats the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100, thereby increasing the temperature of the air flowing through the air conditioning housing assembly 100. This allows for the delivery of air with suitable temperature and humidity to the passenger compartment, further enhancing the user's experience.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner housing assembly 100 may further include a blower 7, located within the air duct cavity 10. The blower 7 drives the air flowing through the air conditioner housing assembly 100 to flow along the first air duct 11, the second air duct 12, and the third air duct 13, achieving the effect of fresh air and recirculated air flowing through the air conditioner housing assembly 100. Furthermore, along the flow direction of the air flowing through the air conditioner housing assembly 100 (i.e.,...)
