Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure pertains to the field of vehicle air conditioning technology, and particularly relates to an air conditioning assembly for an automobile and the automobile itself. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of automotive technology, people's requirements for driving and riding comfort are gradually increasing, and the performance of the automotive air conditioning system plays a crucial role in the ride comfort. Every automotive air conditioning assembly contains a filter module. This filter module is used to filter the air entering the passenger compartment from the outside, removing impurities, dust, and other contaminants. Based on the performance requirements of the filter module, it needs to be replaced periodically.

[0003] In related technologies, automotive filter assemblies are typically installed within the vehicle's HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) assembly (referred to as the air conditioning assembly). The air conditioning assembly includes a housing, filter assembly, and a cover. The housing has an opening on its right side (the left-right direction of the housing corresponds to the left-right direction of the vehicle body), and the housing contains a mounting cavity for accommodating the filter assembly, which communicates with the opening. When the filter assembly is installed in the mounting cavity, its left and right sides contact the inner wall of the housing. The cover seals the opening and is detachably connected to the housing. For ease of manufacturing, the filter assembly is generally a single plate-shaped, integral structure with adsorption capabilities. During assembly, the entire filter assembly passes through the opening, is positioned within the mounting cavity, and then the cover seals the opening.

[0004] However, air conditioning assemblies are generally centrally located, meaning the blower is situated in the middle of the housing. These centrally located assemblies are typically mounted on the dashboard, specifically on one side of the passenger-side sound insulation panel. The right side of the housing houses the exhaust ducts, with an opening between the ducts and the dashboard. Because the filter assembly is larger than the distance between the exhaust ducts and the dashboard, replacing the filter requires completely disassembling the dashboard to allow the filter to pass through the opening and be installed in the housing. This dashboard disassembly increases maintenance time, thus increasing after-sales maintenance costs for customers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides an air conditioning assembly and a vehicle, which facilitates the replacement of the filter components in the air conditioning assembly and reduces the after-sales maintenance costs of the vehicle. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] This disclosure provides an air conditioning assembly for an automobile, comprising a housing, a filter assembly, and a cover. The housing has an opening on its side wall. The filter assembly includes at least two detachable filter elements, which are stacked sequentially along a first direction and are both located within the housing. The length of the opening is greater than the length of each individual filter element but less than the sum of the lengths of the two filter elements. The first direction is the direction perpendicular to the floor inside the vehicle body after the air conditioning assembly is installed in the automobile. The length of the opening is the dimension of the opening in the first direction, and the length of each filter element is the dimension of the filter element in the first direction. The cover seals the opening and is detachably connected to the housing.

[0007] In another implementation of this disclosure, the filter element is a plate-like structure, and each filter element abuts against the inner wall of the housing on both sides perpendicular to the first direction.

[0008] In another implementation of this disclosure, the filter element is a structural component containing nonwoven fabric.

[0009] In another implementation of this disclosure, the cover plate includes a main body and a buckle, the buckle is connected to the main body, the buckle protrudes beyond one side of the main body in the first direction, the buckle is telescopic in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction;

[0010] The housing includes a limiting claw located on one side of the opening, and the limiting claw is used to engage with the buckle to lock the cover plate at the opening.

[0011] In another implementation of this disclosure, the buckle includes an intermediate connecting piece and two support arms, the two support arms being located on opposite sides of the intermediate connecting piece in the second direction, and one end of each support arm being connected to the intermediate connecting piece, and the other end of each support arm forming a gap with the intermediate connecting piece.

[0012] In another implementation of this disclosure, the two arms have limiting spaces on their opposite sides; at least a portion of each limiting claw is located within the corresponding limiting space.

[0013] In another implementation of this disclosure, the support arm includes a body, a first limiting piece, and a second limiting piece. The body is connected to the intermediate connecting piece. The first limiting piece and the second limiting piece are located on the same side of the body at intervals along a third direction. The third direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction, respectively. The limiting space is formed between the first limiting piece and the second limiting piece.

[0014] In another implementation of this disclosure, the cover plate further includes a limiting structure located on the opposite side of the buckle protruding outside the main body along the first direction, and the limiting structure is connected to the main body and engages with the housing.

[0015] In another implementation of this disclosure, an automobile is also provided, the automobile including a body and an air conditioning assembly connected within the body, the air conditioning assembly being the air conditioning assembly described above.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this disclosure are:

[0017] When assembling the air conditioning assembly provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure onto the body of a vehicle, the filter assembly includes at least two filter elements, allowing it to be disassembled into multiple separate structures. Since at least two filter elements are located within the vehicle's air conditioning housing, and the length of the opening is greater than the length of each individual filter element but less than the combined length of the two filter elements, disassembling the filter assembly into multiple separate structures significantly reduces the length of each filter element, and correspondingly, the length of the opening also decreases considerably. This significant reduction in filter element length also greatly reduces the installation space required during assembly, avoiding the need to completely disassemble the dashboard to replace the filter assembly, thereby reducing after-sales maintenance time and improving the ease of operation for maintenance personnel.

[0018] Moreover, since at least two filter elements are stacked sequentially along the first direction, when assembling the filter elements one by one, the next filter element only needs to pass through the opening, and it can automatically stack on the previous filter element under its own gravity, simplifying the assembly process, eliminating the need for manual inspection, and improving efficiency.

[0019] In other words, the air conditioning assembly provided in this disclosure reduces the space occupied by each filter element during assembly by setting a larger filter element assembly as multiple smaller filter elements, thereby solving the problem of filter element assemblies being inconvenient to replace in related technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this disclosure.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Automotive air conditioning assemblies are generally integrated units, meaning they combine the blower, evaporator, heater core, speed control module, mode motor, internal / external circulation motor, heater valve, and mode damper actuator into a single housing. This reduces the space occupied by the air conditioning assembly. To filter outside air entering the vehicle, the air conditioning assembly also includes a filter assembly. This filter assembly removes fine particulate matter, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust fumes, dust, and other contaminants from the outside air, improving the cleanliness of the air inside the vehicle.

[0034] For ease of installation, the air conditioning assembly housing has a retaining cavity for installing the filter assembly. The filter assembly is snapped into the retaining cavity.

[0035] To facilitate the processing and installation of filter elements, they are generally designed as a single unit, meaning the entire filter element is assembled within the limiting cavity during assembly. However, for HVAC assemblies, which are typically located on the dashboard and on the passenger side of the sound insulation panel, replacing the filter element requires completely disassembling the dashboard. This significantly increases maintenance time and after-sales maintenance costs for customers.

[0036] This disclosure provides an air conditioning assembly for an automobile, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning assembly includes a housing 1 and a cover plate 3.

[0037] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial structural decomposition diagram, combined with Figure 2 The housing 1 has an opening 10 on its side wall. The air conditioning assembly also includes a filter assembly 2.

[0038] The filter assembly 2 includes at least two detachable filter elements 21, which are stacked sequentially along a first direction and are both located within the housing 1. The length of the opening 10 is greater than the length of each filter element 21 but less than the sum of the lengths of the two filter elements 21. The first direction is the direction perpendicular to the floor inside the vehicle body after the air conditioning assembly is installed in the vehicle. The length of the opening 10 ( Figure 2 The length L1 is the dimension of the opening 10 in the first direction, and the length of the filter element 21 is ( Figure 2 The medium length L2) is the dimension of the filter element 21 in the first direction.

[0039] The cover plate 3 covers the opening 10 and is detachably connected to the housing 1.

[0040] After the air conditioning assembly provided in this embodiment is assembled on the body of a car, since the air conditioning assembly includes a housing 1 and a filter element assembly 2, and the side wall of the housing 1 has an opening 10, the housing 1 can provide an installation base for the filter element assembly 2, and the filter element assembly 2 can be quickly assembled into the housing 1 through the opening 10, so that the filter element assembly 2 can be assembled into the air conditioning assembly.

[0041] Because the filter assembly includes at least two filter elements 21, it can be disassembled into multiple separate structures. Since at least two filter elements 21 are located within the housing 1 of the vehicle's air conditioning system, and the length of the opening 10 is greater than the length of each individual filter element 21 but less than the combined length of the two filter elements 21, disassembling the filter assembly into multiple separate structures significantly reduces the length of each filter element 21, and correspondingly, the length of the opening 10 also decreases considerably. This significantly reduces the installation space required during assembly, avoiding the need to completely disassemble the dashboard to replace the filter assembly 2, thus reducing after-sales maintenance time and improving the ease of operation for maintenance personnel.

[0042] Moreover, since at least two filter elements 21 are stacked sequentially along the first direction, when the filter elements 21 are assembled one by one, the next filter element 21 can automatically stack on the previous filter element 21 under its own gravity after passing through the opening 10, which simplifies the assembly process, eliminates the need for manual inspection, and improves efficiency.

[0043] The cover plate 3 is used to seal the opening 10 so as to enclose the filter element assembly 2 in the housing 1.

[0044] In other words, the air conditioning assembly provided in this disclosure reduces the space occupied by each filter element 21 during assembly by setting a larger filter element assembly 2 as multiple smaller filter elements 21, so as to solve the problem that the filter element assembly 2 is inconvenient to replace in the related art, while also making it easier to assemble the filter elements 21 into the housing 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, there are two filter elements 21, and the two filter elements 21 are stacked to form an integral filter element assembly 2.

[0046] In other examples, the number of filter elements 21 can also be different, such as three, four, etc. The number of filter elements 21 can be set according to the specific usage requirements of the vehicle.

[0047] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the filter element assembly located inside the housing, combined with... Figure 3 Optionally, the filter element 21 has a plate-like structure, and each filter element 21 is perpendicular to the first direction (i.e., Figure 2 The two sides of the direction b) in the middle abut against the inner wall of the shell 1 respectively.

[0048] In the above implementation, the filter element 21 is set as a plate structure, which makes it easy for multiple filter elements 21 to be stacked together in sequence.

[0049] Furthermore, each filter element 21 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 1 on both sides perpendicular to the first direction, thus confining each filter element 21 within the housing 1 to ensure that each filter element 21 can be stably installed in the housing 1 without shaking.

[0050] In other examples, the structure of filter element 21 can also be other structures, such as multiple filter elements stacked together.

[0051] This disclosure does not impose any restrictions on the specific filter element 21, as long as multiple filter elements 21 can be stacked together in sequence.

[0052] Optionally, the filter element 21 is a non-woven fabric structure.

[0053] In the above implementation, the filter element 21 is set as a non-woven fabric structure, which can not only improve the adsorption capacity of the filter element 21, but also make the filter element 21 have a strong filtration capacity.

[0054] Moreover, this also allows for a smaller filter element 21, which in turn reduces the weight of the air conditioning assembly, enabling the car to achieve lightweighting.

[0055] In other examples, the filter element 21 may also have other structures, such as activated carbon adsorption structures. However, activated carbon adsorption structures may be more expensive than non-woven fabric structures. This disclosure does not limit the filter element 21 as long as it can filter air.

[0056] In other examples, in order to facilitate the formation of a plate-like structure for the filter element 21, an outer frame can be provided around the periphery of the nonwoven fabric structure, and the outer frame is connected to the nonwoven fabric structure by adhesive.

[0057] In this way, when two adjacent filter elements 21 are stacked together, the bottom of one outer frame is placed on top of the other outer frame, so that the stacking of the two adjacent filter elements 21 is more stable and firm through the outer frames.

[0058] Figure 4 This is a front view structural schematic diagram of the cover plate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, combined with... Figure 4 Optionally, the cover plate 3 includes a main body 31 and a buckle 32. The buckle 32 is connected to the main body 31. The buckle 32 protrudes beyond one side of the main body 31 in a first direction. The buckle 32 is telescopic in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0059] Combination Figure 2 The housing 1 includes a limiting claw 11, which is located on one side of the opening 10 and is used to cooperate with the buckle 32 to lock the cover plate 3 at the opening 10.

[0060] The limiting claw 11 cooperates with the buckle 32 to lock the cover plate 3 at the opening 10.

[0061] In the above implementation, the cover plate 3 is configured with the above structure, so that the cover plate 3 can be disassembled and connected to the housing 1 by the cooperation of the buckle 32 and the limiting claw 11.

[0062] In other words, because the latch 32 can be in the second direction ( Figure 2 In the direction b), the cover plate 3 can be extended or retracted. When the cover plate 3 is assembled on the housing 1, the buckle 32 will contact the limiting claw 11, thereby locking the cover plate 3 at the opening 10. If it is necessary to remove the cover plate 3 from the housing 1, the buckle 32 can be compressed to separate the buckle 32 from the limiting claw 11, thereby removing the cover plate 3 from the housing 1.

[0063] In other examples, the above structure can also take other forms, such as using bolts or other fasteners to detach and connect the cover plate 3 to the housing 1. However, connecting the cover plate 3 to the housing 1 using bolts or other fasteners is relatively cumbersome and inconvenient.

[0064] Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the cover plate provided in another embodiment of this disclosure, combined with... Figure 5 Optionally, the buckle 32 includes an intermediate connecting piece 321 and two support arms 322, which are located on opposite sides of the intermediate connecting piece 321 in a second direction. One end of each support arm 322 is connected to the intermediate connecting piece 321, and a gap is formed between the other end of each support arm 322 and the intermediate connecting piece 321.

[0065] There are two limiting claws 11, and the two limiting claws 11 are respectively connected to the two support arms 322 one by one, and the limiting claws 11 are respectively engaged with the corresponding support arms 322.

[0066] In the above implementation, the buckle 32 is set as an intermediate connecting piece 321 and two support arms 322. This allows it to be connected to the main body 31 through the intermediate connecting piece 321, while also providing an installation base for the two support arms 322.

[0067] The two support arms 322 are used to cooperate with the two limiting claws 11 so that the buckle 32 can be detachably connected to the housing 1.

[0068] In other words, when removing the buckle 32 from the housing 1, simply press the two support arms 322 so that they come together and each support arm 322 separates from the corresponding limiting claw 11, thus removing the buckle 32 from the housing 1.

[0069] If it is necessary to install the buckle 32 in the housing 1, first press the two support arms 322 so that the two support arms 322 are close to each other, then insert the buckle 32 between the two limiting claws 11, so that each limiting claw 11 is engaged with the corresponding support arm 322, and then release the support arm 322.

[0070] In other examples, the latch 32 can also be other structures, such as a limiting frustum with elastic properties. The limiting frustum is engaged within multiple limiting claws 11.

[0071] In this embodiment, the limiting claw 11 is an L-shaped block structure. One end of the limiting claw 11 facing the buckle 32 is engaged in the support arm 322, and the other end of the limiting claw is connected to the housing 1.

[0072] Optionally, each of the two arms 322 has a limiting space 3220 on its opposite side. At least a portion of each limiting claw 11 is located within its corresponding limiting space 3220.

[0073] In the above implementation, the limiting space 3220 is used to accommodate the limiting claw 11, so that the limiting claw 11 is partially engaged with the support arm 322, thereby realizing the engagement between the support arm 322 and the limiting claw 11.

[0074] Optionally, the support arm 322 includes a body 3221, a first limiting piece 3222, and a second limiting piece 3223. The body 3221 is connected to the intermediate connecting piece 321, and the first limiting piece 3222 and the second limiting piece 3223 are respectively along a third direction ( Figure 2 The middle direction c) is located on the same side of the body 3221 at intervals, and the third direction is perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction respectively, forming a limiting space 3220 between the first limiting piece 3222 and the second limiting piece 3223.

[0075] In the above implementation, the support arm 322 is configured as a body 3221, a first limiting piece 3222, and a second limiting piece 3223. In this way, the body 3221 can be connected to the intermediate connecting piece 321, and the first limiting piece 3222 and the second limiting piece 3223 form a limiting space 3220 so that the limiting claw 11 can be engaged in the corresponding support arm 322.

[0076] In other examples, the support arm 322 can also have other structures, such as a structure formed by multiple limiting plates surrounding a circle, with a limiting space formed between two adjacent limiting plates, etc., which can also allow the limiting claw to engage in the corresponding support arm 322. However, such a structure is relatively complex and not convenient to manufacture.

[0077] The structure of the support arm 322 can be any structure, as long as the limiting claw 11 can be engaged in the corresponding support arm 322. This disclosure does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0078] In this embodiment, in order to further increase the overall structural strength of the cover plate 3, the main body 31 is set as a plate structure, and multiple reinforcing ribs are respectively provided on the two opposite plate surfaces of the main body 31, and the multiple reinforcing ribs are arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0079] In addition, to further facilitate the assembly of the cover plate 3 into the housing 1, the cover plate 3 also includes a limiting structure 33. The limiting structure 33 is located on the opposite side of the buckle 32 protruding outside the main body 31 along the first direction. The limiting structure 33 is connected to the main body 31 and is engaged with the housing 1.

[0080] In the above implementation, the limiting structure 33, together with the buckle 32, can position and connect the opposite sides of the cover plate 3 in the housing 1, which can further improve the stability of the cover plate 3 assembled in the housing 1 and prevent the cover plate 3 from falling off the housing 1.

[0081] For example, the housing 1 also has a limiting hole (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the opening 10, and the limiting structure 33 is located inside the limiting hole. This allows the limiting structure 33 to be easily positioned together with the housing 1.

[0082] Optionally, the limiting structure 33 is a U-shaped block structure. Correspondingly, the limiting hole is a U-shaped hole. This can improve the positioning effect.

[0083] In other examples, the limiting structure 33 can also be other structures, such as rectangular block structures, plate structures, etc., and the corresponding limiting holes are all quadrilateral holes.

[0084] Optionally, the cover plate 3 is an integral injection molded part.

[0085] This not only makes the production of cover plate 3 easier, but also reduces the production cost of cover plate 3.

[0086] Of course, the cover plate 3 can also have other structures, such as a split structure, or be formed by bonding together multiple injection molded parts. However, this would reduce processing efficiency.

[0087] See you again Figure 2 In this embodiment, the opening 10 is a rectangular hole. Correspondingly, the filter element 21 is a cuboid plate structure, and the cover plate 3 is a cuboid plate structure.

[0088] The above not only facilitates the processing of the opening 10, but also allows the opening 10 to correspond to the structure of the filter element 21, avoiding the need for a large opening 10, thus making the housing 1 more airtight.

[0089] The following is a brief description of the disassembly and assembly process of the filter element in the air conditioning assembly provided in this embodiment:

[0090] When it is necessary to replace filter element assembly 2, the following steps can be performed:

[0091] (1) Remove the passenger side soundproof panel.

[0092] (2) Press the buckle 32 of the cover plate 3 and then remove the cover plate 3.

[0093] (3) Take out the multiple filter elements 21 that need to be replaced.

[0094] (4) Then insert the new filter element into the housing 1 through the opening 10.

[0095] (5) Finally, restore the passenger side soundproof panel.

[0096] The above-mentioned air conditioning assembly is based on the traditional integrated filter element of vehicles, with structural adjustments made to the centrally located HVAC assembly to facilitate filter element replacement. This structure can significantly reduce after-sales maintenance labor time and lower after-sales maintenance costs for customers.

[0097] On the other hand, this disclosure also provides an automobile, which includes a body and an air conditioning assembly connected inside the body, and the air conditioning assembly is the air conditioning assembly mentioned above.

[0098] The above-mentioned cars have the same beneficial effects as the air conditioning assemblies mentioned earlier, so we will not repeat them here.

[0099] The above are merely optional embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
