[0051] The air inlet end 130 and the plurality of air outlet ends 140 are arranged in the housing 120, the air can enter the first accommodating space 120S from the air inlet end 130, and then exit the first accommodating space 120S from the air outlet ends 140 along the first direction X, the air inlet end 130 and the air outlet ends 140 are oppositely arranged, that is, the projections of the air inlet end 130 and the air outlet ends 140 at least partially overlap in the first direction X, which can optimize the air flow path of the air conditioning system 110, the gas can flow more smoothly inside the air conditioning system 110, reducing unnecessary resistance and vortex, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the gas, and further improving the working efficiency of the air conditioning system 110, the air outlet ends 140 are multiple, that is, the plurality of air outlet ends 140 can respectively and independently flow air.

[0052] The heater 150 is arranged in the first accommodating space 120S, the heater 150 is arranged inside the housing 120, since the air flows from the air inlet end 130 to the air outlet ends 140, the heater 150 is arranged between the air inlet end 130 and the air outlet ends 140, which can heat the passing air to hot air, thereby realizing the temperature adjustment of the air conditioning system 110. The heater 150 is arranged between the air inlet end 130 and the air outlet ends 140, which can reduce the flow path of the gas inside the air conditioning system 110, improve the heating efficiency of the air conditioning system 110, and further improve the efficiency of the temperature adjustment of the air conditioning system 110.

[0053] Along the first direction X, the adjusting mechanism 160 is arranged between the air inlet end 130 and the heater 150, that is, along the first direction X, the adjusting mechanism 160 coincides with at least part of the projection between the air inlet end 130 and the heater 150, so that the adjusting mechanism 160 can accurately control the air flow entering the heater 150, can ensure that the heater 150 operates at optimal efficiency, avoids unnecessary energy waste, and the adjusting mechanism 160 as an important part of the air conditioning system 110, the adjusting mechanism 160 is arranged between the air inlet end 130 and the heater 150, and the air flows from the air inlet end 130 to the heater 150, so that the adjusting mechanism 160 is not affected by the high temperature of the heater 150 when working, thereby prolonging its service life and reliability, and the adjusting mechanism 160 arranged between the air inlet end 130 and the heater 150 can also be located in a relatively easy-to-maintain position for daily maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0054] The adjusting mechanism 160 is a plurality of adjusting mechanisms 160 corresponding to a plurality of air outlet ends 140, and each air outlet end 140 can correspond to a plurality of temperature zones in the vehicle, and each adjusting mechanism 160 can control the air flowing out of the corresponding air outlet end 140, and each adjusting mechanism 160 is configured to selectively pass the air entering from the air inlet end 130 through the heater 150 to guide the air into the corresponding air outlet end 140 and into the plurality of temperature zones in the vehicle, so that the adjusting mechanism 160 can be used to independently control whether the air flows through the heater 150, control the proportion of unheated air and hot air of the corresponding air outlet end 140, and independently control and adjust the temperature of each air outlet end 140, thereby enabling the use of one air conditioning system 110 to independently control the plurality of temperature zones in the vehicle, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning system 110 of the vehicle 100.

[0056] The adjusting mechanism 160 has an adjusting plate 161 rotatably arranged in the adjusting mechanism 160, that is, the adjusting plate 161 can change the angle in the first accommodating space 120S, and when the adjusting plate 161 rotates, the angle of the air flowing into the first accommodating space 120S from the air inlet end 130 changes, so that the air selectively passes through the heater 150, thereby controlling the amount of air passing through the heater 150. The air passing through the heater 150 will become hot air (temperature is relatively high), and the hot air and the unheated air will be combined at the air outlet end 140, and the temperature of the air flow at the air outlet end 140 will also be different according to the proportion of unheated air and hot air.

[0057] The adjusting plate 161 is rotatably arranged on the adjusting mechanism 160, so that the air entering from the air inlet end 130 can selectively pass through the heater 150, the air can be selectively heated, the proportion of the heated air is controlled, the temperature of the air is adjusted, the complicated pipeline design inside the air conditioning system 110 is reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning system 110 is reduced.

The air (which can be room temperature air) entering the air conditioning system 110 from the outside will pass through the heat exchanger 170. When the air conditioning system 110 needs to refrigerate the air, the air passing through the heat exchanger 170 can enhance the refrigeration effect of the air conditioning system 110.

The rotating shaft 162 is rotatably arranged on the shell 120, and the connecting plate 163 connects the rotating shaft 162 and the adjusting plate 161.

[0062] The rotating shaft 162 is connected by the connecting plate 163 and the adjusting plate 161. The rotating shaft 162 and the connecting plate 163, and the connecting plate 163 and the adjusting plate 161 are fixedly connected, that is, when the rotating shaft 162 moves, the adjusting plate 161 will move correspondingly with the rotating shaft 162. The rotating shaft 162 is rotatably arranged on the shell 120, and the rotating shaft 162 can rotate relative to the shell 120. The adjusting plate 161 will rotate with the rotating shaft 162. For example, the adjusting plate 161 can rotate around the rotating shaft 162.

[0069] The air conditioning system 110 comprises a plurality of adjustment mechanism groups arranged between the air inlet end 130 and the heater 150, which selectively control whether air in the areas corresponding to the plurality of adjustment mechanism groups flows through the corresponding areas of the heater 150. The plurality of adjustment mechanism groups are arranged along the second direction Y, and each adjustment mechanism group can correspond to a corresponding area on the heater 150 along the second direction Y. Each adjustment mechanism group comprises a plurality of adjustment mechanisms 160 arranged along the third direction Z, and each adjustment mechanism 160 can correspond to an area on the heater 150 and selectively control whether air flows through the corresponding area.

[0070] The plurality of adjustment mechanism groups correspond to the plurality of air outlet end groups, and the plurality of adjustment mechanism groups can control the temperature of the plurality of air outlet end groups by controlling whether air flows through the heater 150. Each air outlet end group corresponds to a temperature zone, and the temperature zones in the vehicle 100 can be independently controlled.

[0071] For example, the plurality of adjustment mechanism groups correspond to the plurality of air outlet end groups, which can be provided with a plurality of air outlets corresponding to a plurality of temperature zones in the vehicle. The plurality of adjustment mechanism groups selectively control the proportion of air in the corresponding areas flowing through the heater 150, and the air and hot air are mixed at the corresponding plurality of air outlets, thereby enabling independent control of the temperature of the plurality of temperature zones in the vehicle.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In this embodiment, the plurality of adjustment mechanism groups comprise a first adjustment mechanism group 181 and a second adjustment mechanism group 182, and the plurality of air outlet end groups comprise a first air outlet end group 210 and a second air outlet end group 220. The first accommodation space 120S has a first flow channel group 230, a second flow channel group 240, and a third flow channel 330, and the heater 150 is arranged in the third flow channel 330. The first adjustment mechanism group 181 is used to proportionally guide air to the inlet of the first flow channel group 230 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330. The second adjustment mechanism group 182 is used to proportionally guide air to the inlet of the third flow channel 330 and the inlet of the second flow channel group 240. The outlet of the first flow channel group 230 is configured as the first air outlet end group 210, and the outlet of the second flow channel group 240 is configured as the second air outlet end group 220.

[0073] The heater 150 is arranged in the third flow channel 330, and the air passing through the third flow channel 330 is heated to hot air. The first accommodating space 120S has a first flow channel group 230, a second flow channel, and a third flow channel group 330. In the second direction Y, the first flow channel group 230 and the third flow channel group 330 are arranged opposite to the second flow channel group 240. The air enters the air conditioning system 110 from the air inlet end 130, and a part of the air is divided by the first adjusting mechanism group 181 into the first flow channel group 230 and the third flow channel group 330, and then converges at the outlet of the first flow channel group 230. Another part of the air is divided by the second adjusting mechanism group 182 into the second flow channel group 240 and the third flow channel group 330, and then converges at the outlet of the second flow channel group 240. The outlet of the first flow channel group 230 is configured as the first air outlet end group 210, that is, the air passes through the first flow channel group 230, and then exits the first flow channel group 230 and enters the first air outlet end group 210. The outlet of the second flow channel group 240 is configured as the second air outlet end group 220, that is, the air passes through the second flow channel group 240, and then exits the second flow channel group 240 and enters the second air outlet end group 220.

[0074] The heater 150 is arranged in the third flow channel 330, that is, the air passing through the third flow channel 330 must pass through the heater 150. The first adjusting mechanism group 181 and the second adjusting mechanism group 182 are arranged between the air inlet end 130 and the heater 150. The first adjusting mechanism group 181 is used to guide the air to the inlet of the first flow channel group 230 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330 in proportion, so that the hot air (heated air) and the air converge at the outlet of the first flow channel group 230 (the inlet of the first air outlet end group 210), and the air conditioning system 110 controls the temperature of the air. For example, when the temperature needs to be increased, the proportion of air passing through the heater 150 (the third flow channel 330) is increased, the proportion of hot air is increased, and the temperature is increased. When the temperature needs to be reduced, the proportion of air passing through the heater 150 is reduced, the proportion of hot air is reduced, and the temperature is reduced.

[0075] The second adjusting mechanism group 182 is used to guide the air to the inlet of the third flow channel 330 and the inlet of the second flow channel group 240 in proportion, so that the hot air (heated air) and the air converge at the outlet of the second flow channel group 240 (the inlet of the second air outlet end group 220), and the air conditioning system 110 controls the temperature of the air. For example, when the temperature needs to be increased, the proportion of air passing through the heater 150 (the third flow channel 330) is increased, the proportion of hot air is increased, and the temperature is increased. When the temperature needs to be reduced, the proportion of air passing through the heater 150 is reduced, the proportion of hot air is reduced, and the temperature is reduced.

[0076] The outlet of the third flow channel 330 is communicated with the outlet of the first flow channel group 230, and the outlet of the second flow channel group 240 is communicated with the outlet of the third flow channel 330. Under the action of the adjusting mechanism 160, the air and the hot air can be proportionally discharged from the first flow channel group 230 and the second flow channel group 240, and the independent control of the temperature of different areas in the vehicle can be realized, the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning system 110 is greatly reduced, and the operation efficiency of the air conditioning system 110 is improved.

[0077] Specifically, the heater 150 is arranged in the third flow channel 330, the first adjusting mechanism group 181 is used for proportionally guiding the air to the inlet of the first flow channel group 230 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330, and the second adjusting mechanism group 182 is used for proportionally guiding the air to the inlet of the second flow channel group 240 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330. The temperature of the outlet of different flow channels of the air conditioning system 110 can be controlled, and then the temperature of different areas in the vehicle can be controlled, the independent control of the temperature of different areas in the vehicle is realized, the design of the first adjusting mechanism group 181 and the second adjusting mechanism group 182 greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning system 110, and the operation efficiency of the air conditioning system 110 is improved.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In the embodiment of the present application, the first adjusting mechanism group 181 includes a first adjusting mechanism 181A and a second adjusting mechanism 181B, the plurality of air outlet groups includes a first air outlet group 210 and a second air outlet group 220, the first air outlet group 210 includes a first air outlet and a second air outlet, the first flow channel group 230 includes a first sub-flow channel 231 and a second sub-flow channel 232, the first adjusting mechanism 181 proportionally guides the air to the inlet of the first sub-flow channel 231 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330 by rotating the adjusting plate 161, the second adjusting mechanism 181B proportionally guides the air to the inlet of the second sub-flow channel 232 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330 by rotating the adjusting plate 161, the second adjusting mechanism group 182 includes a third adjusting mechanism group 182A and a fourth adjusting mechanism group 182B, the second air outlet group 220 includes a third air outlet and a fourth air outlet, the second flow channel group 240 includes a third sub-flow channel 241 and a fourth sub-flow channel 242, the third adjusting mechanism 182A proportionally guides the air to the inlet of the third sub-flow channel 241 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330 by rotating the adjusting plate 161, and the fourth adjusting mechanism 182B proportionally guides the air to the inlet of the fourth sub-flow channel 242 and the inlet of the third flow channel 330 by rotating the adjusting plate 161.

[0079] For example, the vehicle 100 interior includes a first temperature zone 250, a second temperature zone 260, a third temperature zone 270, and a fourth temperature zone 280, the first adjustment mechanism group 181 includes a first adjustment mechanism 181A and a second adjustment mechanism 181B, the second adjustment mechanism group 182 includes a third adjustment mechanism 182A and a fourth adjustment mechanism 182B, the first adjustment mechanism 181A, the second adjustment mechanism 181B, the third adjustment mechanism 182A, and the fourth adjustment mechanism 182B correspond to the first sub-flow channel 231, the second sub-flow channel 232, the third sub-flow channel 241, and the fourth sub-flow channel 242 respectively, the first sub-flow channel 231, the second sub-flow channel 232, the third sub-flow channel 241, and the fourth sub-flow channel 242 correspond to the first air outlet end, the second air outlet end, the third air outlet end, and the fourth air outlet end respectively, the first air outlet end, the second air outlet end, the third air outlet end, and the fourth air outlet end correspond to the first temperature zone 250, the second temperature zone 260, the third temperature zone 270, and the fourth temperature zone 280 of the vehicle 100 interior respectively, the first air outlet end, the second air outlet end, the third air outlet end, and the fourth air outlet end are in communication with the first temperature zone 250, the second temperature zone 260, the third temperature zone 270, and the fourth temperature zone 280 respectively through air supply ducts and other mechanisms, for example, air can be adjusted by the first adjustment mechanism group 181A, enter the first sub-flow channel 231 and the third flow channel 330 proportionally, then converge at the outlets of the first sub-flow channel 231 and the third flow channel 330 respectively, enter the first air outlet end, and then enter the corresponding first temperature zone 250 from the first air outlet end. The heating principles of the second temperature zone 260, the third temperature zone 270, and the fourth temperature zone 280 are the same, and will not be described again in the embodiments of the present application. In this way, the temperatures of different temperature zones in the vehicle 100 interior can be independently adjustable, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning system 110 and improving the operating efficiency of the air conditioning system 110.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In the embodiment, the heater 150 includes a PTC heating element.

[0081] The PTC heating element is made of ceramic material and has high heating capacity. Its working principle is to use the self-temperature control characteristic of PTC thermistor element to heat the air through resistance heating. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the PTC heating element will automatically adjust the resistance to prevent overheating and significantly reduce energy consumption after reaching the set temperature. This self-temperature control characteristic makes the PTC heating element perform well in energy efficiency, and it is more energy-efficient than the traditional resistance heater 150. The thermal resistance of the PTC heating element is lower than that of other heating elements, and it will not be red on the surface like the electric heating tube heater 150, thereby reducing the risk of fire. In addition, the PTC heating element also has an overheat protection function. In the case of insufficient heat dissipation due to fan failure, the PTC heating element will automatically stop working, effectively preventing the temperature from continuously rising, and further improving the safety of the air conditioning system 110. This constant temperature safety feature makes the PTC heating element widely used in vehicle air conditioning.

[0082] Moreover, the heater 150 includes a PTC heating element, which is small in size and easy to integrate into the air conditioning system 110, can reduce the occupation of the internal space of the air conditioning system 110, improve the space utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioning system 110, and adapt to the layout requirements of air conditioning systems 110 of different vehicle models, thereby expanding the application range of the air conditioning system 110.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The heater 150 includes a first heating zone group 150A and a second heating zone group 150B, a first adjusting mechanism group 181 is used to proportionally guide the air to the inlet of the first flow channel group 230 and the inlet of the first heating zone group 150A (which is actually the inlet of the third flow channel 330), a second adjusting mechanism group 182 is used to proportionally guide the air to the inlet of the second heating zone group 150B and the inlet of the second flow channel group 240, the air conditioning system 110 includes a first control unit, the first control unit is in communication connection with the first heating zone group 150A to control the first heating zone group 150A to selectively heat, the first control unit is in communication connection with the second heating zone group 150B to control the second heating zone group 150B to selectively heat, and the first heating zone group 150A and the second heating zone group 150B are arranged along the second direction Y.

[0084] The heater 150 can be divided into a first heating zone group 150A and a second heating zone group 150B, the first heating zone group 150A and the second heating zone group 150B correspond to the first adjusting mechanism group 181 and the second adjusting mechanism group 182 respectively, the first control unit can selectively control whether each area of the first heating zone group 150A and the second heating zone group 150B is heated, and control whether the air flows through the corresponding area in cooperation with the first adjusting mechanism group 181 and the second adjusting mechanism group 182. It can be understood that when the first control unit controls the first heating zone group 150A of the heater 150 to be in a non-heating state, the air flowing through this area will not be heated. In this case, the first adjusting mechanism group 181 does not need to be adjusted, thereby achieving temperature regulation of the area in the vehicle and further improving the utilization efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0085] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In the embodiment, the first heating zone group 150A includes a first sub-heating zone 290 and a second sub-heating zone 300, the first adjusting mechanism 181A is used to proportionally guide the air to the inlet of the corresponding first sub-flow channel 231 and the inlet of the first sub-heating zone 290, the second adjusting mechanism 181B is used to proportionally guide the air to the inlet of the corresponding second sub-flow channel 232 and the inlet of the second sub-heating zone 300, the second heating zone group 150B includes a third sub-heating zone 310 and a fourth sub-heating zone 320, the third adjusting mechanism 182A is used to proportionally guide the air to the inlet of the corresponding third sub-flow channel 241 and the inlet of the third sub-heating zone 310, the fourth adjusting mechanism 182B is used to proportionally guide the air to the inlet of the corresponding fourth sub-flow channel 242 and the inlet of the fourth sub-heating zone 320, wherein the first control unit is in communication connection with the first sub-heating zone 290 to control the first sub-heating zone 290 to selectively heat, the first control unit is in communication connection with the second sub-heating zone 300 to control the second sub-heating zone 300 to selectively heat, the first control unit is in communication connection with the third sub-heating zone 310 to control the third sub-heating zone 310 to selectively heat, the first control unit is in communication connection with the fourth sub-heating zone 320 to control the fourth sub-heating zone 320 to selectively heat, the first sub-heating zone 290 and the second sub-heating zone 300 are arranged along the third direction Z, and the third sub-heating zone 310 and the fourth sub-heating zone 320 are arranged along the third direction Z.

[0086] For example, the air enters the first accommodating space 120S from the air inlet end 130, and the first adjusting mechanism 181A can adjust the proportion of the air passing through the first sub-heating area 290. Part of the air passes through the first sub-heating area 290 and is heated, and the other part of the air passes through the first sub-flow channel 231 and is not heated. The air that has been heated and the air that has not been heated are combined at the first air outlet end, thereby achieving temperature control at the first air outlet end. The first air outlet end is in communication with the first temperature area 250, and the air temperature after being adjusted enters the first temperature area 250, thereby achieving temperature control of the first temperature area 250. The temperature control principles of the second temperature area 260, the third temperature area 270, and the fourth temperature area 280 are the same as those of the first temperature area 250, and the implementation of the present application will not be described again.

[0087] In this way, one air conditioning system 110 can be used to achieve independent temperature control of multiple temperature areas in the vehicle 100, greatly reducing the complexity of manufacturing the air conditioning system 110 of the vehicle 100, without the need to separately design multiple air conditioning systems 110, thereby significantly reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle 100. Moreover, if the first temperature area 250 needs to be heated and the second temperature area 260 does not need to be heated, the first control unit can control the first sub-heating area 290 to heat and control the second sub-heating area 300 not to heat, so as to save the operation cost of the air conditioning system 110.

[0088] The first sub-heating area 290, the second sub-heating area 300, the third sub-heating area 310, and the fourth sub-heating area 320 can each independently and selectively control whether the passing air is heated. That is, the air passing through the first sub-heating area 290, the second sub-heating area 300, the third sub-heating area 310, and the fourth sub-heating area 320 can be heated or remain unchanged without being heated. For example, in summer, the first heating area can not be heated, and even if the air passes through the first heating area, the temperature at the first air outlet end will not be heated. In this way, the first adjusting mechanism 181A does not need to be adjusted, thereby reducing the operation cost of the air conditioning system 110. Moreover, when the first temperature area 250 has no heating demand and the second temperature area 260 has a heating demand, the first sub-heating area 290 can be controlled not to heat, the second sub-heating area 300 can be controlled to heat, and the proportion of the air flowing to the second sub-heating area 300 can be controlled by the second adjusting mechanism 181B, thereby achieving temperature control of the first sub-heating area 290 and the second sub-heating area 300. In this way, the third sub-heating area 310 and the fourth sub-heating area 320 also have the same heating principle, and the implementation of the present application will not be described again.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present application also provides a vehicle 100, which comprises any air conditioning system 110 of the present application.

[0090] The vehicle 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application, each adjusting mechanism 160 is configured to selectively pass the air entering from the air inlet end 130 through the heater 150 to guide to the corresponding air outlet end 140, independently controls whether the air flows through the heater 150, controls the proportion of the air and the hot air at the corresponding air outlet end 140, and independently controls and adjusts the temperature of each air outlet end 140, thereby being capable of using one air conditioning system 110 to independently control multiple temperature zones in the vehicle 100, and greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning system 110 of the vehicle 100.

[0091] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 In the embodiments of the present application, the vehicle 100 further comprises a sensor and a second control unit, the sensor is adapted to detect whether there is a person on the seat of the vehicle 100, and the second control unit is in communication connection with the sensor, and the second control unit is used to, if the detection result of the sensor indicates that there is a person on the seat, take the air outlet end 140 corresponding to the person seat as the target air outlet end 140, and control the adjusting mechanism 160 corresponding to the target air outlet end 140 to rotate, so that the air is proportionally passed through the heater 150 and guided to the target air outlet end 140.

[0092] For example, the sensor can detect whether there is a person on the seat of the vehicle 100, when there is a person on the seat corresponding to the first temperature zone 250 and there is no person on the seat corresponding to the second temperature zone 260, the first adjusting mechanism can be controlled to make the air pass through the first sub-heating area 290 proportionally, thereby controlling the corresponding temperature at the first air outlet end, so that the temperature of the first temperature zone 250 is adjusted, and for the second temperature zone 260, the second adjusting mechanism group 181B can be controlled to make the air flow to the second sub-flow passage 232, thereby making the air flow to the second air outlet end, and thereby the independent control of the first temperature zone 250 and the second temperature zone 260 can be realized. In the above embodiment, the second sub-heating area 300 can also be controlled not to heat, so that the second adjusting mechanism group 181B can also be controlled not to move, and the effect of blowing air from the second air outlet end can also be realized, thereby saving the energy consumption of the air conditioning system 110 and improving the use efficiency of the air conditioning system 110. Similarly, the third temperature zone 270 and the fourth temperature zone 280 also have the same adjustment principle, and the air conditioning system 110 can independently control the change of the temperature of the first temperature zone 250, the second temperature zone 260, the third temperature zone 270 and the fourth temperature zone 280.

[0093] Specifically, the air outlet end 140 corresponding to the person seat is taken as the target air outlet end 140, the adjusting mechanism 160 corresponding to the target air outlet end 140 is adjusted to make the air pass through the heater 150 proportionally and guide to the target air outlet end 140, the temperature can be adjusted according to whether there is a person on the seat, and thereby the energy consumption of the air conditioning system 110 can be saved.

[0094] In some embodiments, the sensor is arranged on the safety belt of the seat, and the sensor is configured as a buckle sensor.

[0095] The sensor is configured as a buckle sensor, which can reduce the design and manufacturing of vehicle parts, realize reuse of parts with the same function, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.
