[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle air conditioning condensate treatment technology, specifically to a one-way anti-backflow condensate treatment device for vehicle air conditioning systems and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive air conditioning, or simply car air conditioning, is a system used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside a car cabin to optimal levels. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces travel fatigue, creates favorable working conditions for the driver, and plays a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. It typically includes a cooling system, a heating system, and a ventilation system. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, has a simple structure, and is easy to operate; it is a popular modern automotive air conditioning system internationally.

[0003] Existing vehicle air conditioners produce condensate during cooling. The condensate flows out from the air conditioner drain pipe and is naturally discharged by gravity, dripping onto the ground. However, if the vehicle drives through water, the mud and sand in the water may block the condensate drain outlet, causing the condensate to flow back into the passenger compartment. To address this, we provide a one-way anti-backflow condensate treatment device for vehicle air conditioning systems and its usage method. Summary of the Invention
