Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automobile heating, and in particular relates to an automobile heater installation structure and an automobile. Background Art
[0002] To provide a better passenger experience during cold winter months, car heaters are often installed inside cars. Due to the limited space in the car's structure, existing car heaters are typically placed beneath the car seats. This design leverages the rising properties of hot air to more effectively distribute warm air and deliver warm air to the passenger's feet. This design often protrudes from the floor, which not only affects the shape and function of the car seats, making them less aesthetically pleasing, but also reduces leg room, impacting passenger comfort. Furthermore, the high-heat air from the heater directly hits the passenger's legs and feet. While this quickly warms these areas and provides warmth, over time, passengers notice a significant temperature difference between their legs and feet and the rest of their bodies. This heat can burn them, but they cannot avoid it due to space constraints, resulting in a poor passenger experience. Furthermore, this conventional heater installation structure, due to its bulk and weight, fails to meet the demands for energy conservation, emission reduction, and lightweighting in automobiles. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a car heater installation structure and a car, which forms a step structure through a double-layer floor, and the heater is installed in the step space. The high-temperature gas of the heater is blown out from the air outlet on the vertical side wall of the step. The car seat is installed on the upper honeycomb floor of the step structure. The footrest support frame provides supporting strength for the passenger footrest, which can prevent the hot air blown by the heater from directly blowing onto the legs and feet, thereby improving the comfort of the passengers; the height of the step structure can be adjusted according to the height of the heater, and the application range is wide; the step structure of the double-layer floor of the present invention is more beautiful and increases the leg movement space of the passengers; compared with the installation method of installing the heater under the seat, the installation structure of the heater of the present invention will not affect the shape and function of the car seat, and can improve the riding comfort of the passengers; the installation structure of the double-layer floor of the present invention adopts aluminum alloy material and honeycomb floor, which achieves the purpose of energy saving, emission reduction and lightweight of the car while ensuring the supporting strength.
[0004] The specific plan is as follows:
[0005] A car heater mounting structure includes a double-layer floor structure, which includes an upper floor and a lower floor. The upper floor is a two-stage step structure when viewed from the side, and the lower floor is approximately an L-shaped structure when viewed from the side. The upper floor is fixedly connected to the lower floor to form a step structure with a hollow cavity. An air outlet is provided on the vertical end surface of the upper floor. The lower floor includes a heater mounting frame, which is arranged in the accommodating space formed by the upper floor and the lower floor and is adjacent to the corresponding air outlet.
[0006] The present invention is applicable to buses, especially small buses. In cold winter, the doors of buses are often opened when passengers get on and off the bus, which lowers the temperature inside the bus. In particular, the passengers' lower limbs will feel noticeably cold. In order to solve this problem and provide passengers with a better riding experience, traditional buses usually install a heater under the car seat. The air supply port of the heater is set behind the passenger's legs, and the heater blows hot air directly at the legs and feet. Although such a design can quickly increase the temperature of the passenger's lower limbs, the heater blows directly at a close distance, which can cause local overheating of the lower limbs when the passenger sits for a long time. Moreover, due to the limited space in the car, the passenger cannot avoid the air supply port, which makes the passenger's riding experience worse. The step structure formed by the double-layer floor structure of the present invention changes the installation position and air supply position of the heater. It can not only use the rising characteristics of hot air flow to heat the passenger's lower limbs, but also prevent direct blowing that makes the passenger feel uncomfortable. At the same time, it can also expand the passenger's leg space, improve the aesthetics and comfort of the bus seat, and achieve the purpose of lightweighting the car and reducing emissions.
[0007] The lower floor of the double-layer floor structure serves as part of the vehicle's body-in-white (BIW) floor, contributing to the overall performance of the BIW while also securing the heater and sealing the passenger compartment. The upper floor, viewed from the side, is a two-step structure fixedly connected to the lower floor, which is approximately L-shaped in side view, forming a stepped structure. Air outlets are provided on the vertical end surfaces of the upper floor. A heater mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the space formed by the upper and lower floors. The heater is fixedly mounted on the bracket, with the heater's air supply and outlet adjacent to each other. The height of the upper floor can be adjusted to accommodate heaters of varying heights, extending its applicability. Car seats are positioned above the steps, with passengers seated on the steps and their feet resting on the upper honeycomb floor. When the heater delivers hot air, it is blown out through the outlet, providing warm air at the passenger's feet without directly blowing on their legs and feet, significantly enhancing passenger comfort.
[0008] The lower floor panel of the double-layer floor structure is made from bent aluminum sheets. Horizontal hems are located at both the upper and lower ends of the lower floor panel, and the middle portion is angled, forming a rectangular folded plate that resembles a Z-shaped structure when viewed from the side. The upper hem is welded to the lower floor rear crossbeam, while the lower hem is welded to the middle portion of the lower floor center crossbeam. Two lower floor rear longitudinal beams are symmetrically welded to the left and right ends of the lower floor panel. The lower vertical end surfaces of the front ends of the two lower floor rear crossbeams are welded to the left and right rear vertical end surfaces of the lower floor center crossbeam. The upper portion of the lower floor rear longitudinal beams has a stepped surface, and the stepped surfaces of the lower floor rear longitudinal beams fixed at both ends of the lower floor panel are of the same height.

The vertical end surface of the lower floor front connecting plate is welded to the vertical end surface of the front end of the lower floor center crossbeam, and the horizontal end surface of the lower floor front connecting plate is welded to the upper end surface of the lower floor front crossbeam. Two lower floor sill beams are welded horizontally and vertically to the left and right ends of the lower floor front crossbeam. Two lower floor front longitudinal beams are evenly spaced and welded to the lower floor front crossbeam between the two lower floor sill beams and parallel to the two lower floor sill beams. The number of heater mounting brackets is set according to the needs of the vehicle model. If multiple heaters are required, multiple heater mounting brackets are evenly arranged and fixed to the lower floor center crossbeam. The heater air supply port faces the corresponding air outlet of the upper floor and the ventilation cover snapped onto the air outlet. The number of air outlets and ventilation covers matches the number of heaters.
[0009] The upper floor panel consists of a footrest support frame, honeycomb flooring, carpet, and at least one ventilation cover. The footrest support frame is made of aluminum and has an inverted L-shaped frame structure. The honeycomb flooring is laid and fixed to the outer surface of the footrest support frame, and the carpet is bonded to the honeycomb flooring in a matching shape. The honeycomb flooring is a polypropylene honeycomb panel, a hollow sheet material made of polypropylene. Its lightweight and high strength contribute to vehicle weight reduction. The lower floor panel and the lower floor front connecting plate are both constructed of aluminum. This double-layer floor structure meets the needs of lightweighting, energy conservation, and emission reduction.
[0010] Two automobile heater mounting structures can be installed in a small passenger car and arranged opposite to each other. The two automobile heater mounting structures are arranged opposite to each other and the corresponding parts between them are connected to form an integrated structure.

[0015] The rear support crossbeam of the footrest support frame of the upper floor is bolted to the step surface of the two rear longitudinal beams of the lower floor, and the lower support crossbeam is bolted to the front connecting plate of the lower floor to form an inverted L shape. The honeycomb floor of the upper floor is covered on the footrest support frame and the lower floor to form a step structure of the vehicle interior floor. The heater mounting frame is accommodated in the accommodating space formed by the footrest support frame and the lower floor. The heater is fixedly installed on the heater mounting frame. At least one through hole, i.e., an air outlet, is provided on the vertical end face of the honeycomb floor. The heater air supply port faces the air outlet. The ventilation hood cover is clamped on the air outlet. The carpet is bonded to the outer end face of the honeycomb floor in a matching shape. The car seat is installed on the upper end surface of the honeycomb floor. The footrest support frame and the honeycomb floor provide footrest support for the car seat and passengers. After getting on the car, the passenger goes up the steps from the lower honeycomb floor and sits on the car seat. The hot air from the heater is blown out from the air outlet on the side wall of the steps under the feet of the passenger. The hot air rises to warm the passenger's lower limbs, avoiding the problem of local overheating and discomfort caused by hot air blowing directly on the legs and feet for a long time.
[0016] Furthermore, the footrest support frame includes a front support beam, a rear support beam, a lower support beam, multiple vertical support beams and multiple longitudinal support beams. The front support beam and the rear support beam are arranged in parallel, and the multiple longitudinal support beams are evenly spaced and fixedly connected between the front support beam and the rear support beam. The front support beam and the lower support beam are arranged in parallel, and the multiple vertical support beams are evenly spaced and fixedly connected between the front support beam and the lower support beam.

[0018] Furthermore, the honeycomb floor includes a first honeycomb floor, a second honeycomb floor and a third honeycomb floor. The first honeycomb floor is matched, bonded and riveted to the upper end surface of the front supporting beam, the longitudinal supporting beam, the rear supporting beam and the rear beam of the lower floor.

[0021] The first honeycomb floor is bonded and riveted to the upper end surface of the planar frame formed by the front and rear support beams, while the second honeycomb floor is bonded and riveted to the planar frame formed by the front and lower support beams. Because the first and second honeycomb floors are of considerable thickness, a right-angle structure appears at their junction, affecting safety and aesthetics. A right-angled fan-shaped tube is horizontally installed at the front upper edge of the front support beam. The two rectangular end surfaces of the right-angled fan-shaped tube are fixedly connected to the first and second honeycomb floors, respectively, achieving the styling expression of the rounded corner transition area in the vehicle interior.

[0025] The footrest support frame, lower floor rear longitudinal beam, lower floor front cross beam, lower floor middle cross beam, lower floor rear cross beam, lower floor door sill beam and lower floor front longitudinal beam are all made of aluminum profiles, and the lower floor panel surface and lower floor front connecting plate are both bent aluminum plates; the honeycomb floor is made of polypropylene honeycomb panels, which meets the requirements of lightweight vehicles and achieves energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0026] Furthermore, there are two double-layer floor structures which are arranged opposite to each other, and the door sill beams, the front longitudinal beams of the lower floor and the third honeycomb floor of the two double-layer floor structures are respectively connected to form an integrated structure.
[0027] Two heater installation structures can be arranged opposite to each other in a small passenger car. The corresponding parts of the two double-layer floor structures are fixedly connected to form an integrated inverted "X"-shaped step structure. The car seat is installed on the first honeycomb floor of the step. The third honeycomb floor below the step is fixedly connected to form an integrated structure and faces the car door.

Hot air is blown from the outlet through a vent cover snapped onto the outlet and delivered into the vehicle, providing an aesthetically pleasing and dustproof design. The double-layer floor structure is bolted to the body-in-white with threaded bolts, forming the interior floor structure while securing the heater's mounting position. The threaded fastening facilitates disassembly and maintenance during overhauls. If the heater mounting structure is installed at the rear of the vehicle, the two lower floor rear longitudinal beams abut the corresponding rear wheel arches. If the heater mounting structure is installed at the front of the vehicle, the two lower floor rear longitudinal beams abut the corresponding front wheel arches. Alternatively, two heater mounting structures can be installed at the front and rear of a small passenger vehicle, such as an autonomous smart minibus. The front and rear seats can be positioned opposite each other on steps, with the third honeycomb floor connected to form a single unit.
