Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to dual-sided independent split fans. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology in the vehicle transportation sector, people have increasingly higher demands for vehicle ride comfort. Because the human body is in close contact with the seat, poor air circulation hinders the evaporation of sweat, causing discomfort. Ventilation functions effectively improve airflow between the human body and the seat, keeping the body dry and comfortable.

[0003] In existing technologies, ventilation functions are usually integrated into seats, using ventilation mechanisms to blow air onto the seat surface or draw air from the seat surface to achieve cooling and air circulation. However, the blowing method tends to blow cold, humid air onto the body, which can cause discomfort in the lower back after prolonged use; the drawing method has lower cooling efficiency and takes longer to achieve the cooling effect, and a seat using only a single fan can only choose between blowing and drawing modes.

[0015] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, the connecting shell is an integral structure, which includes a third connecting plate, and the through hole penetrates the third connecting plate.

[0016] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, when the first fan assembly is in the first state, the second fan assembly is in the second state, the first motor drives the first impeller to rotate, and the airflow enters the second ventilation space from the third air inlet and outlet, passes through the fourth air inlet and outlet, the through hole and the second air inlet and outlet in sequence, enters the first ventilation space, and is discharged from the first air inlet and outlet.

[0032] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The dual-sided independent split fan shown includes:

[0036] Mounting housing 1, the interior of mounting housing 1 has a first mounting space and a second mounting space stacked in a first direction; the first direction is the vertical direction in the figure.

[0037] The mounting shell 1 includes a first cover 5, a second cover 6, and a connecting shell 7. The connecting shell 7 is disposed between the first cover 5 and the second cover 6, dividing the internal space of the mounting shell 1 into a first mounting space and a second mounting space. The first mounting space is formed between the first cover 5 and the connecting shell 7, and the second mounting space is formed between the second cover 6 and the mounting shell 1.

[0038] Further, optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the connecting housing 7 can be a split structure, which includes a first connecting plate 19 and a second connecting plate 20 arranged in a row. The first connecting plate 19 is close to the first cover 5, and the second connecting plate 20 is close to the second cover 6. A first installation space is formed between the first connecting plate 19 and the first cover 5, and a second installation space is formed between the second connecting plate 20 and the second cover 6.

[0039] A first fan assembly 2 is provided in the first installation space, and a second fan assembly 3 is provided in the second installation space; both the first fan assembly 2 and the second fan assembly 3 have a first state and a second state.

[0040] Furthermore, the first fan assembly 2 includes a first motor 22 and a first impeller 10. The first motor 22 has a first output shaft 11, and the first impeller 10 and the first output shaft 11 are coaxially fixedly connected.

[0041] Driven by the first motor 22, the first output shaft 11 is rotated, thereby driving the first impeller 10 to rotate.

[0042] Furthermore, the first installation space is provided with a first opening 8 communicating with it in the circumferential direction, the first impeller 10 forms a first ventilation space inside, the first impeller 10 is provided with a plurality of first air inlets and outlets 12 communicating with the first ventilation space in the circumferential direction, and the first impeller 10 is provided with a second air inlet and outlet 13 communicating with the first ventilation space on the side near the first output shaft 11, and the second air inlet and outlet 13 is communicating with the first installation space.

[0043] Furthermore, the second fan assembly 3 includes a second motor 23 and a second impeller 14. The second motor 23 has a second output shaft 15, and the second impeller 14 and the second output shaft 15 are coaxially and fixedly connected.

[0044] Driven by the second motor 23, the second output shaft 15 rotates, thereby driving the second impeller 14 to rotate.

[0045] Furthermore, the second installation space is provided with a second opening 9 communicating with it in the circumferential direction, the second impeller 14 forms a second ventilation space inside, the second impeller 14 is provided with a plurality of third air inlets and outlets 16 communicating with the second ventilation space in the circumferential direction, and the second impeller 14 is provided with a fourth air inlet and outlet 17 communicating with the second ventilation space on the side of the second impeller 14 near the second output shaft 15, and the fourth air inlet and outlet 17 is communicating with the second installation space.

[0046] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air inlet / outlet 12 and the third air inlet / outlet 16 are arranged close to each other in the first direction, that is, the first impeller 10 and the second impeller 14 are in the upright position.

[0047] When the first fan assembly 2 is in the first state, the first motor 22 drives the first impeller 10 to rotate. At this time, the second fan assembly 3 is in the second state, and the second motor 23 does not work.

[0048] When the second fan assembly 3 is in the first state, the second motor 23 drives the second impeller 14 to rotate. At this time, the first fan assembly 2 is in the second state and the first motor 22 does not work.

[0049] Furthermore, a through hole 18 is provided on the connecting housing 7 to allow airflow to pass through;

[0050] Therefore, when the first fan assembly 2 is in the first state, the first motor 22 drives the first impeller 10 to rotate, the second motor 23 does not work, so the outside airflow enters the second ventilation space through the third air inlet and outlet 16, then enters the second installation space through the fourth air inlet and outlet 17, enters the first installation space through the through hole 18, then enters the first ventilation space through the second air inlet and outlet 13, and finally is discharged to the outside through the first air inlet and outlet 12.

[0051] When the second fan assembly 3 is in the first state, the second motor 23 drives the second impeller 14 to rotate, and the first motor 22 does not work. As a result, the outside airflow enters the first ventilation space through the first air inlet and outlet 12, then enters the first installation space through the second air inlet and outlet 13, enters the second installation space through the through hole 18, then enters the second ventilation space through the fourth air inlet and outlet 17, and is then discharged to the outside through the third air inlet and outlet 16.

[0052] It should be noted that when the first fan assembly 2 and the second fan assembly 3 are in the first state, the second impeller 14 and the first impeller 10 may rotate under the influence of airflow.

[0053] It should be noted that, optionally, the first motor 22 and the second motor 23 can be coreless motors or ordinary motors.

[0054] The control circuit board 4 is located between the first fan assembly 2 and the second fan assembly 3. Optionally, the control circuit board 4 can be located in the first mounting space or in the second mounting space.

[0055] Furthermore, the control circuit board 4 has a first side and a second side that are far apart from each other. The first side corresponds to and is electrically connected to the first fan assembly 2, and the second side corresponds to and is electrically connected to the second fan assembly 3. The control circuit board 4 is used to control the first fan assembly 2 or the second fan assembly 3 respectively, so that when the first fan assembly 2 is in the first state, the second fan assembly is in the second state, or when the first fan assembly 2 is in the first state, the second fan assembly 3 is in the second state.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the connecting housing 7 can be an integral structure, which includes a third connecting plate 21;

[0057] Furthermore, when the connecting housing 7 is an integral structure, the control circuit board 4 is disposed on the third connecting plate 21, and the first side and the second side are respectively used to control the first fan assembly 2 and the second fan assembly 3;

[0058] Further, optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air inlet / outlet 12 and the third air inlet / outlet 16 are arranged close to each other in the first direction. In order to achieve airflow, a second air inlet / outlet 13 is opened on the side of the first impeller 10 near the first output shaft 11, and a fourth air inlet / outlet 17 is opened on the side of the second impeller 14 near the second output shaft 15.

[0059] Therefore, when the first fan assembly 2 is in the first state, the outside airflow is drawn in through the second opening 9, and then passes through the third air inlet / outlet 16, the fourth air inlet / outlet 17, the through hole 18, the second air inlet / outlet 13 and the first air inlet / outlet 12 in sequence, and is blown out through the first opening 8. Figure 1 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the direction of airflow;

[0060] When the second fan assembly 4 is in the first state, the outside airflow is drawn in through the first opening 8, and then sequentially passes through the first air inlet / outlet 12, the second air inlet / outlet 13, the through hole 18, the fourth air inlet / outlet 17 and the third air inlet / outlet 16, and is blown out through the second opening 9. Figure 2 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the direction of airflow;

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first air inlet / outlet 12 and the third air inlet / outlet 16 are positioned far apart in the first direction. At this time, the first impeller 10 and the second impeller 14 are compared... Figure 1Since it is a reverse installation, there is no need to open a second air inlet / outlet 13 and a fourth air inlet / outlet 17;

[0062] Therefore, when the first fan assembly 2 or the second fan assembly 3 is in the first state, the airflow passes through the first air inlet / outlet 12 or the second air inlet / outlet 13 and then directly through the through hole 18 to achieve ventilation.

[0063] It should be noted that, as Figure 7 The reverse-mounted first impeller 10 and second impeller 14 shown can also be installed on the hollow cup motor. The reverse-mounted first impeller 10 and second impeller 14 can make the airflow path smoother, so that the blowing and suction effects of the first fan assembly 2 and the second fan assembly 3 are better.

[0064] It should be noted that the first impeller 10 and the second impeller 14 are different, which can be that the first impeller 10 and the second impeller 14 are different in size or shape, that is, the length, thickness, and tilt angle of the blades of the first impeller 10 and the second impeller 14 are different in at least one aspect.

[0065] Working principle: This device is installed in a car seat and controls the first fan assembly 2 and the second fan assembly 3 separately through the control circuit board 4. When the first fan assembly 2 is in the first state, the second fan assembly is in the second state, and vice versa. That is, when the first fan assembly 2 is working, it blows air and draws air through the second fan assembly 3; when the second fan assembly 3 is working, it blows air and draws air through the first fan assembly 2. This allows for the selection of the blowing and drawing modes of the car seat, enabling effective air circulation on the seat surface in the required environment and avoiding discomfort caused to the human body by a single mode.

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in this application is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
