[0002] To meet various user needs, vehicles may be equipped with onboard refrigerators and water dispensers, allowing users to store food in the refrigerator and drink water from the dispenser.

[0003] Currently, there is no connection between the water dispenser and the vehicle refrigerator; they work independently to perform their respective functions and cannot work together. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a vehicle thermal circulation system and vehicle, which realizes the coordinated operation between the water dispenser and the refrigerator, and also realizes the full utilization of energy.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a vehicle thermal circulation system, comprising: an absorber and a generator, the generator being connected to the absorber, both the generator and the absorber containing a refrigerant solution; a condenser and an evaporator, the condenser being connected to the generator and the evaporator, and the evaporator being connected to the absorber; and a water dispensing device, comprising a heating element and a container, the container being used to hold water, and the heating element being used to heat the container to heat the water inside the container; wherein, when the heating element heats the container, the water inside the container forms water vapor, which heats the generator through the water vapor, causing the refrigerant solution inside the generator to evaporate and form refrigerant vapor, which is then introduced into the condenser for thermal circulation, and the evaporator being used to cool the air so that the cooled air is introduced into a refrigerator to achieve refrigeration.

[0006] In some specific embodiments, the drinking device has a steam chamber, a container is disposed below the steam chamber, and a generator is disposed above the steam chamber. The water in the container is heated to form steam, which enters the steam chamber and rises to heat the bottom of the generator.

[0007] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system is also provided with a humidification pipe and a control valve. The control valve is located on the humidification pipe. One end of the humidification pipe is connected to the steam chamber, and the other end of the humidification pipe is connected to the passenger compartment of the vehicle. When the control valve is opened, the water vapor in the steam chamber can be introduced into the passenger compartment to achieve humidification.

[0008] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system includes a refrigerator and refrigeration pipes. An evaporator is located inside the refrigerator. Air cooled by the evaporator is introduced into the storage compartment of the refrigerator.

[0009] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system includes a refrigerator and a heat exchange chamber. An evaporator is disposed inside the refrigerator. Air cooled by the evaporator is introduced into the storage compartment of the refrigerator. The heat exchange chamber is connected to the storage compartment. An absorber is disposed inside the heat exchange chamber. The cold air in the storage compartment cools the object and can then enter the heat exchange chamber, so that the cold air entering the heat exchange chamber cools the absorber.

[0010] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system further includes a containment cavity, in which a condenser is disposed. The containment cavity is connected to a heat exchange cavity and a passenger compartment. Air in the heat exchange cavity can be further introduced into the containment cavity to cool the condenser.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system includes an air duct and a three-way valve. One end of the air duct is connected to the accommodating cavity, and the other end of the air duct is connected to the air inlet of the three-way valve. The first air outlet of the three-way valve is connected to the passenger compartment, and the second air outlet of the three-way valve is connected to the outside. When the first air outlet is connected and the second air outlet is disconnected, the air duct can guide the hot air in the accommodating cavity into the passenger compartment. When the first air outlet is disconnected and the second air outlet is connected, the air duct can guide the hot air in the accommodating cavity to the outside.

[0012] In some specific embodiments, the condenser is located above the generator, the evaporator is located below the condenser, and the containment cavity and the condenser are arranged at an angle downwards. After the refrigerant vapor is condensed by the condenser, it flows downwards under the action of gravity and is introduced into the evaporator from the bottom of the containment cavity.

[0013] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system also includes a fan located on one side of the evaporator. The fan is used to generate an airflow that blows toward the evaporator, and the evaporator cools the airflow so that the airflow is directed into the refrigerator's cooling compartment for refrigeration.

Therefore, the steam generated when the water dispenser in the vehicle is working can assist the refrigerator in refrigeration, thereby realizing the coordinated work between the water dispenser and the refrigerator, and also realizing the full utilization of energy.

[0027] The first aspect of this application provides a vehicle thermal circulation system 10, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 provided in this application.

[0028] Combination Figure 1 The vehicle thermal cycle system 10 includes an absorber 11 and a generator 12, which are connected to the absorber 11. Both the generator 12 and the absorber 11 contain a refrigerant solution. The generator 12 and the absorber 11 are connected by a first pipe 131, thereby allowing the refrigerant solution in the generator 12 to communicate with the refrigerant solution in the absorber 11.

[0029] The vehicle thermal circulation system 10 includes a condenser 14 and an evaporator 15. The condenser 14 is connected to the generator 12 and the evaporator 15, and the evaporator 15 is connected to the absorber 11. At this time, the condenser 14, evaporator 15, absorber 11 and generator 12 constitute a connected circulation system, so that the refrigerant solution circulates in different forms in the circulation system, thereby achieving a heat exchange effect to realize the heating function of the condenser 14 and the cooling function of the evaporator 15.

[0030] For the specific configuration and function of the absorber 11, generator 12, evaporator 15, and condenser 14, please refer to the configuration of related components in existing absorption refrigeration systems. Based on the above configuration, the working process of the circulation system composed of absorber 11, generator 12, evaporator 15, and condenser 14 is described in detail below:

[0031] First, the refrigerant solution can be an ammonia solution or a lithium bromide solution. When generator 12 is heated, low-boiling-point substances in the refrigerant solution in generator 12 will evaporate into refrigerant vapor. This refrigerant vapor is introduced into condenser 14 and undergoes heat exchange there. At this time, condenser 14 releases heat, and the refrigerant vapor may turn into liquid to form condensate, which is then introduced into evaporator 15 (in some applications, it may remain refrigerant vapor). The condensate then undergoes heat exchange in evaporator 15, absorbing heat. The condensate then becomes refrigerant vapor again and is introduced into absorber 11, where it absorbs the refrigerant vapor. Since absorber 11 is connected to generator 12, the concentration of the solution in generator 12 is restored, thus realizing the circulation of the refrigerant solution and the heat exchange process.

[0032] Continue to combine Figure 1 The vehicle thermal circulation system 10 includes a water drinking device, which is provided with a heating element 16 and a container 17. The container 17 is used to hold water, and the heating element 16 is used to heat the container 17 to heat the water inside the container 17.

[0033] Specifically, the heating element 16 can be a heating film, heating wire, or other heating structure, all of which can generate heat when energized to heat the accommodating element 17. The accommodating element 17 can be cup-shaped for easy placement and removal. Regarding the placement of the accommodating element 17, it can be supported on the top of the heating element 16, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the water in the container 17 is heated by the heating element 16. Of course, the position of the heating element 16 is not limited to the above arrangement. For example, the heating element 16 can be arranged around the periphery of the container 17 to achieve heating.

[0034] More specifically, the heating element 16 may have a cavity at its top, with an opening on its side. The receiving element 17 is movably disposed within this cavity to be heated. When a user needs hot water, the receiving element 17 can be removed from the opening on the side of the cavity for drinking. In some applications, to ensure the receiving element 17 is stably disposed within the cavity and to achieve a seal, the opening at the top of the receiving element 17 abuts against the top wall of the cavity, thereby sealing the receiving element 17.

[0035] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 provided by the client.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 In some application scenarios, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 is provided with a fixing buckle 18. The fixing buckle 18 is located at the opening on the side of the cavity. When the accommodating member 17 is placed in the cavity, the fixing buckle 18 can be used to press against the accommodating member 17, thereby making the accommodating member 17 securely placed in the cavity.

[0037] Continue to combine Figure 2 For a more specific configuration of the water drinking device, the device may also include a control module 19 and a battery 21. The control module 19 and the battery 21 may be located at the bottom of the heating element 16, but their location is not limited to this. The control module 19 is used to control the operation of the heating element 16, and the battery 21 is used to supply power to the heating element 16.

[0038] In accordance with the above, when the heating element 16 heats the container 17, the water inside the container 17 forms water vapor. This water vapor overflows from the container 17 and heats the absorber 11, causing the refrigerant solution inside the absorber 11 to evaporate and form refrigerant vapor, which is then introduced into the condenser 14 for thermal circulation. During this thermal circulation, the evaporator 15 and condenser 14 exchange heat with the outside environment. The evaporator 15, at its lower temperature, absorbs heat from the outside. The evaporator 15 can then be used to cool the air, which is then introduced into the refrigerator 25 for refrigeration. The refrigerator 25 can be a fan-cooled refrigerator or a refrigerator with a fan-cooling function, and the air cooled by the evaporator 15 achieves refrigeration in the refrigerator 25.

[0039] In summary, based on the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 provided in this application, during the operation of the water dispenser, the generator 12 can be heated by the steam generated from heating water, thereby achieving thermal circulation between the absorber 11, generator 12, condenser 14, and evaporator 15. This, in turn, assists in cooling the refrigerator 25 via the evaporator 15. Therefore, coordinated operation between the water dispenser and the refrigerator 25 is achieved, and the energy of the steam generated during the heating process of the water dispenser is fully utilized. To ensure continuous cooling of the refrigerator 25 by the evaporator 15, the water dispenser can be controlled to operate continuously, thereby continuously providing steam. While the water dispenser is operating continuously, the steam condenses after heat exchange with the generator 12, forming condensate. This condensate can be collected and placed into the container 17 to prevent excessive water loss in the container 17. Furthermore, the water dispenser can operate at a relatively low power to avoid excessive energy consumption and steam loss.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 In some specific embodiments, the drinking device has a steam chamber 22, with a container 17 positioned below the steam chamber 22 and a generator 12 positioned above it. Water in the container 17 is heated, and the resulting steam rises to heat the bottom of the generator 12. Based on this arrangement, the steam condenses on the bottom wall of the generator 12, forming condensate. This condensate drips into the steam chamber 22 and eventually falls back into the container 17, thus achieving steam recovery and preventing excessive steam loss.

[0041] Based on the above, the bottom wall of the steam chamber 22 can be a structure that allows water vapor to pass through, thereby enabling the water vapor in the container 17 to be introduced into the steam chamber 22 through the bottom wall of the steam chamber 22, rise within the steam chamber 22, and then rise to the top of the steam chamber 22 to heat the generator 12. Based on the above, the top of the container 17 can directly abut against the side of the bottom wall of the steam chamber 22 near the container 17, in which case the water vapor generated in the container 17 can be directly introduced into the steam chamber 22. Alternatively, the top wall of the steam chamber 22 can be the bottom wall of the generator 12, in which case the steam in the steam chamber 22 rises directly to the top position to directly heat the bottom wall of the generator 12. Of course, the bottom wall of the generator 12 can also be located on the top wall of the steam chamber 22, in which case the top wall of the steam chamber 22 has a structure that allows water vapor to pass through.

[0042] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 provided in this application.

[0043] Combination Figure 3In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 is also provided with a humidification pipe 23 and a control valve 24. The control valve 24 is provided on the humidification pipe 23. One end of the humidification pipe 23 is connected to the steam chamber 22, and the other end of the humidification pipe 23 is connected to the passenger compartment of the vehicle. When the control valve 24 is opened, the water vapor in the steam chamber 22 can be introduced into the passenger compartment to achieve humidification.

[0044] It should be understood that when the water dispenser is operating, the generated water vapor is introduced into the steam chamber 22. If the control valve 24 is open, the water vapor in the steam chamber 22 can be directly discharged through the humidification pipe 23 and then introduced into the passenger compartment. Specifically, when the control valve 24 is at different opening degrees, the humidification pipe 23 will introduce different amounts of steam into the passenger compartment to achieve different levels of humidification. Therefore, in addition to controlling the on / off state of the humidification pipe 23, the control valve 24 can also control the flow rate of the humidification pipe 23 when it is open.

[0045] In some specific application scenarios, the humidification tube 23 can be a Laval tube, which is equipped with an air ejector 231. The air ejector 231 introduces outside air into the Laval tube and achieves mixing between air and water vapor. After the mixed fluid passes through the Laval tube, its temperature and pressure will decrease, thus becoming low-temperature, low-pressure air that is introduced into the passenger compartment to regulate the humidity inside the passenger compartment.

[0046] Continue to combine Figure 1 In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 includes a refrigerator 25 and a refrigeration pipe 26. An evaporator 15 is disposed inside the refrigerator 25. The air cooled by the evaporator 15 is introduced into the storage compartment of the refrigerator 25. The storage compartment is connected to the passenger compartment of the vehicle through the refrigeration pipe 26 so that the cold air in the storage compartment can be introduced into the passenger compartment to achieve cooling.

[0047] Specifically, the refrigerator 25 is a vehicle-mounted refrigerator 25, installed in the passenger compartment of a vehicle for users to store food and other items. In this case, the refrigerator 25 is a frost-free refrigerator, or at least a refrigerator 25 with frost-free functionality, thereby cooling the storage compartment of the refrigerator 25 through cold air. The storage compartment of the refrigerator 25 may include a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment; in the embodiments of this application, the storage compartment may be shown as a refrigerator compartment. When the evaporator 15 is installed in the refrigerator 25, the refrigerator 25 may have only this one evaporator 15, or it may also have other evaporators to achieve cooling of the refrigerator 25 through other refrigeration systems.

[0048] When the evaporator 15 is working, the cold air generated is introduced into the storage compartment and comes into contact with the items inside, causing their temperature to rise. The heated cold air is then further cooled by a dedicated guide to the evaporator 15 before re-entering the storage compartment to achieve refrigeration, thus completing the refrigeration cycle. At this time, through the installation of the refrigeration pipe 26, the cold air in the storage compartment can be introduced into the passenger compartment of the vehicle to achieve cooling and temperature reduction of the passenger compartment.

[0049] In some specific application scenarios, a refrigeration control valve 261 can be installed on the refrigeration pipe 26. The refrigeration control valve 261 can control the opening and closing of the refrigeration pipe 26, thereby controlling whether the cold air in the storage compartment can enter the passenger compartment. When the passenger compartment of the vehicle needs cooling, the refrigeration control valve 261 can be opened to allow the cold air in the storage compartment to be introduced into the passenger compartment, thereby achieving cooling and temperature reduction for the passenger compartment. It should be understood that in addition to controlling the opening and closing of the refrigeration pipe 26, the refrigeration control valve 261 can also control the flow rate of the refrigeration pipe 26 when it is connected, thereby controlling the flow rate of cold air entering the storage compartment.

[0050] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 provided in this application.

[0051] Combination Figure 4 In some specific embodiments, based on the above-described embodiment with refrigerator 25, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 includes a heat exchange chamber 27, which is connected to the storage compartment, and an absorber 11 is disposed within the heat exchange chamber 27. The cold air in the storage compartment cools the objects and then enters the heat exchange chamber 27, thereby cooling the absorber 11.

[0052] Specifically, the heat exchange chamber 27 is connected to the storage compartment only through an opening and is not connected to other structures, thus ensuring the airtightness of the heat exchange chamber 27. In this case, the heat exchange chamber 27 can be located at the pipe where the air heated after contact with the items is discharged, allowing the air cooled by the items in the storage compartment to be introduced into the heat exchange chamber 27, rather than the air just discharged from the evaporator 15 that has not yet come into contact with the items, thus ensuring the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 25.

[0053] It should be understood that during the process of absorber 11 absorbing refrigerant vapor, a certain amount of heat is generated, which causes the temperature of absorber 11 to rise. At this time, although the temperature of the cold air exiting the storage room rises, it is still lower than the surface temperature of absorber 11. When the cold air comes into contact with the surface of absorber 11, the temperature of absorber 11 is conducted back into the cold air, causing the temperature of the cold air to rise and the temperature of absorber 11 to drop, thereby achieving the cooling of absorber 11.

[0054] Continue to combine Figure 4 In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 further includes a accommodating cavity 28, in which a condenser 14 is disposed. The accommodating cavity 28 is connected to a heat exchange cavity 27 and a passenger compartment. Air in the heat exchange cavity 27 can be further introduced into the accommodating cavity 28 to cool the condenser 14.

[0055] Specifically, the accommodating cavity 28 and the heat exchange cavity 27 are arranged adjacent to each other and can be separated by a partition wall that allows air to pass through, so that the air in the heat exchange cavity 27 can directly enter the accommodating cavity 28, and the cold air entering the accommodating cavity 28 can directly contact the outer wall of the condenser 14, thereby achieving cooling of the condenser 14.

[0056] It should be understood that the refrigerant vapor formed in generator 12 enters condenser 14 through pipes, thereby achieving cooling through condenser 14. At this time, the air entering the containment chamber 28 from heat exchange chamber 27 directly exchanges heat with the outer wall structure of the pipe containing refrigerant vapor, thereby achieving overall cooling of condenser 14.

[0057] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 provided in this application.

[0058] Combination Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 includes an air duct 29 and a three-way valve 31. One end of the air duct 29 is connected to the accommodating cavity 28, and the other end of the air duct 29 is connected to the air inlet 311 of the three-way valve 31. The first air outlet 312 of the three-way valve 31 is connected to the passenger compartment, and the second air outlet 313 of the three-way valve 31 is connected to the outside. It should be understood that the three-way valve 31 has three openings, namely the air inlet 311, the first air outlet 312, and the second air outlet 313. The air inlet 311 allows air to enter, and the first air outlet 312 and the second air outlet 313 allow air to flow out. The three-way valve 31 can control the opening and closing of the first air outlet 312 and the second air outlet 313, thereby controlling the air to flow out from the first air outlet 312 or the second air outlet 313.

[0059] In summary, when the first air outlet 312 is connected and the second air outlet 313 is disconnected, the air duct 29 can guide the hot air in the accommodating cavity 28 into the passenger compartment, thereby achieving heating for the passenger compartment. Furthermore, to ensure adequate heating for the passenger compartment, when the first air outlet 312 is connected and the second air outlet 313 is disconnected, the cooling control valve 261 can be closed. This prevents cold air from entering the passenger compartment and affecting heating, and also prevents excessive cold air loss leading to insufficient heating. When the first air outlet 312 is disconnected and the second air outlet 313 is connected, the air duct 29 can guide the hot air in the accommodating cavity 28 to the outside, thereby discharging any unused warm air.

[0060] Continue to combine Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, the condenser 14 is disposed above the generator 12, and the evaporator 15 is disposed below the condenser 14. The evaporator 15 and the generator 12 are connected by a second pipe 132, so that the refrigerant vapor in the generator 12 can be introduced into the condenser 14 through the second pipe 132.

[0061] Specifically, the accommodating cavity 28 and the condenser 14 are inclined downwards, so that the refrigerant vapor can be directly introduced into the upper part of the condenser 14. It should be understood that, based on the gravity of the refrigerant vapor itself, after being condensed by the condenser 14, the refrigerant vapor flows downwards under the influence of gravity and is finally introduced into the evaporator 15 from the bottom of the accommodating cavity 28.

[0062] The bottom of the accommodating cavity 28 can be connected to the evaporator 15 through a third pipe 133. An expansion valve 134 can be installed on the third pipe 133, so that the pressure and temperature of the fluid passing through the expansion valve 134 are reduced before it is introduced into the evaporator 15.

[0063] Continue to combine Figure 5 In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 further includes a fan 32, which is disposed on one side of the evaporator 15. In conjunction with the above, the fan 32 can be disposed inside the refrigerator 25, and thus used in conjunction with the evaporator 15. The fan 32 is used to generate an airflow that blows towards the evaporator 15, which cools the airflow so that it is guided into the cooling compartment of the refrigerator 25 for refrigeration.

[0064] In the embodiment for recovering water vapor, the water vapor condenses on the bottom wall of generator 12 (i.e., the top wall of steam chamber 22) to form condensate. The condensate drips into steam chamber 22 and eventually falls into container 17, thereby achieving water vapor recovery. At this time, the first pipe 131 can be connected to the side wall of generator 12, thereby enabling communication between the first pipe 131 and the inner cavity of generator 12.

[0065] Based on the above content and in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some specific embodiments, a stepped structure 221 is provided inside the steam chamber 22. The stepped structure 221 has a vertical wall 2211 and a horizontal wall 2212, which are connected. Furthermore, the horizontal wall 2212 is spaced apart from the portion of the top wall of the steam chamber 22 away from the first pipe 131, thereby forming a gap space between the horizontal wall 2212 and this portion of the top wall of the steam chamber 22.

[0066] It should be understood that because the refrigerant concentration in the refrigerant solution in absorber 11 is relatively high, after the refrigerant solution in absorber 11 enters generator 12, the refrigerant concentration in the refrigerant solution near the first pipe 131 in generator 12 will be higher than the refrigerant concentration in the refrigerant solution away from the first pipe 131. At this time, based on the aforementioned stepped structure 221, water vapor will first contact the portion of the top wall of steam chamber 22 near the first pipe to achieve heat exchange, and then flow to the top of horizontal wall 2212 to further exchange heat with the top wall of steam chamber 22. In this manner, because water vapor will first contact the top wall of steam chamber 22 near the first pipe 131 for heat exchange, the water vapor will have better heat exchange with the refrigerant solution above the top wall of steam chamber 22 near the first pipe 131, resulting in more refrigerant evaporating from the refrigerant solution above the top wall of steam chamber 22 near the first pipe 131. Correspondingly, since the temperature of the water vapor in contact with the top wall of the steam chamber 22, which is away from the first pipe 131, is relatively low, less refrigerant evaporates from the refrigerant solution above the top wall of the steam chamber 22, which is away from the first pipe 131. Therefore, in this way, a good evaporation effect of the refrigerant is achieved based on the concentration distribution in the generator 12, and a relatively uniform concentration distribution in the horizontal direction is achieved in the generator 12.

[0067] Furthermore, due to the stepped structure 221, the condensed water falls onto the horizontal wall 2212, flows along the horizontal wall 2212, and then further flows along the vertical wall 2211, eventually flowing into the receiving member 17. At this time, since the contact area between the water droplets and the water vapor is small, the amount of water droplets that are further evaporated is reduced, ensuring a good heating effect of the water vapor on the top wall of the steam chamber 22.

[0068] The second aspect of this application provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle thermal circulation system 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. For a detailed description of the vehicle thermal circulation system 10, please refer to the content in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0069] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 provided in this application.

[0070] Combination Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 includes the structure and functions described in any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, when the water dispenser is operating, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 allows the user to drink hot water, and the user can remove the container 17 at any time to drink hot water. During the operation of the water dispenser, water vapor is generated to heat the generator 12, and the evaporator 15, when operating, can cool the refrigerator 25. Due to the refrigeration pipe 26, cold air from the storage compartment of the refrigerator 25 can be introduced into the passenger compartment through the refrigeration pipe 26, thereby cooling the passenger compartment. Due to the heat exchange chamber 27 and the container chamber 28, the cold air from the storage compartment can cool the absorber 11 and the condenser 14. Due to the air duct 29 and the three-way valve 31, hot air from the container chamber 28 can be introduced into the passenger compartment to heat the passenger compartment. Due to the humidification pipe 23, when the humidity in the passenger compartment is low, the steam in the steam chamber 22 can be introduced into the passenger compartment after being cooled and depressurized through the humidification pipe 23, thereby achieving humidification of the passenger compartment.

[0071] In summary, based on the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 and vehicle provided in any of the above embodiments, the vehicle and vehicle thermal circulation system 10 include: an absorber 11 and a generator 12, the generator 12 being connected to the absorber 11, and both the generator 12 and the absorber 11 containing a refrigerant solution; a condenser 14 and an evaporator 15, the condenser 14 being connected to the generator 12 and the evaporator 15, and the evaporator 15 being connected to the absorber 11; a water dispensing device, provided with a heating element 16 and a container 17, the container 17 being used to hold water, and the heating element 16 being used to heat the container 17 to heat the water inside the container 17; wherein, when the heating element 16 heats the container 17, the water inside the container 17 forms water vapor, which heats the absorber 11 through the water vapor, so that the refrigerant solution inside the absorber 11 evaporates to form refrigerant vapor, which is introduced into the condenser 14 for thermal circulation, and the evaporator 15 is used to cool the air so that the cooled air is introduced into the refrigerator 25 to achieve refrigeration.

[0072] Therefore, the vehicle thermal circulation system 10 and the vehicle provided in any of the above embodiments can assist the refrigerator 25 in cooling by the steam generated when the water dispenser in the vehicle is working, thereby realizing the coordinated work between the water dispenser and the refrigerator 25 and making full use of energy.
