In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] The air conditioner 100 and the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 10 , a heating unit 20 , a first sliding baffle 30 and a rotating baffle 40 .

[0043] The shell 10 encloses a first cold air chamber 11 and a mixing chamber 12. The first cold air chamber 11 has a first cold air outlet 111. The first cold air outlet 111 includes adjacent first openings 111a and second openings 111b. The first opening 111a is connected to the mixing chamber 12. The heating unit 20 has a heating air inlet side 21 and a heating air outlet side 22. The heating air inlet side 21 is connected to the second opening 111b, and the heating air outlet side 22 is connected to the mixing chamber 12. The first sliding baffle 30 is provided at the first cold air outlet 111. The first sliding baffle 30 closes the first opening 111a at the first position and closes the second opening 111b at the second position. The first sliding baffle 30 is slidable between the first position and the second position. The rotating baffle 40 is rotatably covered at the first opening 111a to adjust the opening of the first opening 111a.

[0044] It can be understood that the first cold air chamber 11 contains cold air, and part of the cold air flows to the mixing chamber 12 through the first opening 111a, and the other part flows into the heating unit 20 from the heating air inlet side 21 to be heated to form hot air, and the hot air flows to the mixing chamber 12 from the heating air outlet side 22. In other words, the cold air and the hot air enter the mixing chamber 12 from different positions and form a mixed air in the mixing chamber 12, and the hot air has a longer flow path than the cold air, and the hot air is subject to a greater flow resistance in the heating unit 20, resulting in the cold air flow rate entering the mixing chamber 12 being greater than the hot air flow rate.

[0045] Thus, by sliding the first sliding baffle 30 between the first position and the second position, the openings of the first opening 111a and the second opening 111b can be synchronously adjusted, that is, the ratio of cold air and hot air entering the mixing chamber 12 can be adjusted to adjust the temperature of the mixed gas.

[0046] At the same time, the rotating baffle 40 covers the first opening 111a. When the first sliding baffle 30 leaves the first position, the rotating baffle 40 can block the first opening 111a. That is, when the cold air in the first cold air chamber 11 flows through the first opening 111a to the mixing chamber 12, it will be blocked by the rotating baffle 40, thereby reducing the flow rate of the cold air.

[0047] In addition, when the rotating baffle 40 is located at different angles, the cold air flow area at the first opening 111a changes accordingly, and as the rotating baffle 40 rotates away from the first opening 111a, the blocking effect of the rotating baffle 40 on the cold air flow decreases. Therefore, by adjusting the angle of the rotating baffle 40, the cold air flow area at the first opening 111a and the cold air flow rate at the first opening 111a can be adjusted.

[0048] The air conditioner 100 of the present application is provided with a first sliding baffle 30 that slides between the first opening 111a and the second opening 111b. By adjusting the position of the first sliding baffle 30, the ratio of hot air and cold air entering the mixing chamber 12 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the temperature adjustment of the mixed air in the mixing chamber 12. At the same time, a rotating baffle 40 is provided to cover the first opening 111a. By adjusting the rotating baffle 40 to be located at different angles, the cold air flow area at the first opening 111a can be adjusted. The rotating baffle 40 has different blocking effects on cold air at different angles, so as to reduce and adjust the flow rate of cold air entering the mixing chamber 12 through the first opening 111a. Therefore, the flow rate of cold air entering the mixing chamber 12 can be close to or lower than the flow rate of hot air, which is conducive to the mixing of cold air and hot air, so that the temperature of the mixed air at different positions in the mixing chamber 12 is more uniform, and then the temperature of the mixed air flowing out of different air outlets of the housing 10 is more uniform.

[0049] In the present application, there is no restriction on the flow direction of the mixed gas after it flows out of the mixing chamber 12. Figure 1 In the example, the shell 10 includes a defrost air outlet 13, a face air outlet 14 and a foot air outlet 15. On the premise that the temperature of the mixed gas in the mixing chamber 12 is more uniform, the temperature of the gas flowing out of the shell 10 from the defrost air outlet 13, the face air outlet 14 and the foot air outlet 15 can be more uniform.

[0050] In the present application, the type and structure of the heating unit 20 are not limited.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating baffle 40 is provided with ventilation holes 41. Therefore, the cold air in the first cold air chamber 11 can flow through the ventilation holes 41 through the rotating baffle 40 after passing through the first opening 111a, so that the rotating baffle 40 shields the first opening 111a and reduces the flow rate of the cold air. When the rotating baffle 40 is located at any position, the cold air can flow into the mixing chamber 12 through the first opening 111a, ensuring that sufficient cold air flows into the mixing chamber 12. This increases the adjustable angle range of the rotating baffle 40.

[0052] Furthermore, the ventilation hole 41 is trapezoidal, and the width of the ventilation hole 41 gradually decreases or increases in the direction away from the rotation axis of the rotating baffle. It can be understood that when the rotating baffle 40 covers the first opening 111a, as the first sliding baffle 30 moves between the second position and the first position, the ventilation hole 41 will be blocked by the first sliding baffle 30.

[0053] It should be noted that when the rotating baffle 40 covers the first opening 111 a , the ventilation hole 41 and the first sliding baffle 30 are located on the same side of the rotating shaft of the rotating baffle.

[0054] It is understandable that in Figure 3 In the example, the rotating baffle 40 covers the first opening 111a, and the width of the ventilation hole 41 gradually decreases in the direction away from the rotation axis of the rotating baffle. As the first sliding baffle 30 moves away from the rotation axis of the rotating baffle, that is, the first sliding baffle 30 moves away from the first position, the cold air flow area at the ventilation hole 41 increases, and the speed of the flow area increase increases. In other words, as the first sliding baffle 30 moves away from the first position, the temperature reduction speed of the mixed gas in the mixing chamber 12 can be increased. Correspondingly, as the first sliding baffle 30 approaches the first position, the temperature increase speed of the mixed gas in the mixing chamber 12 can be increased.

[0055] exist Figure 4In the example, the rotating baffle 40 covers the first opening 111a, and the width of the ventilation hole 41 gradually increases in the direction away from the rotation axis of the rotating baffle. As the first sliding baffle 30 moves away from the rotation axis of the rotating baffle, that is, the first sliding baffle 30 moves away from the first position, the cold air flow area at the ventilation hole 41 increases, and the speed of the flow area increase decreases. In other words, as the first sliding baffle 30 moves away from the first position, the temperature drop rate of the mixed gas in the mixing chamber 12 can be reduced. Correspondingly, as the first sliding baffle 30 approaches the first position, the temperature rise rate of the mixed gas in the mixing chamber 12 can be reduced.

[0056] Therefore, by setting the ventilation hole 41 to be trapezoidal and cooperating with the first sliding baffle 30 , the speed of change of the flow area of ​​cold air out of the ventilation hole 41 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the speed of temperature change in the mixing chamber 12 .

[0057] Further, in Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the example, the rotating baffle 40 is rotatably covered on a side of the first sliding baffle 30 away from the first cold air chamber 11 .

[0058] Therefore, when the rotating baffle 40 rotates away from the first opening 111 a , the rotating baffle 40 can extend into the mixing chamber 12 , thereby guiding the flow direction of the cold air after entering the mixing chamber 12 .

[0059] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the rotation axis of the rotating baffle 40 is arranged at one end of the first opening 111a away from the heating element. Thus, the rotating baffle 40 can also guide the air entering the mixing chamber 12 toward the heated air outlet side 22, which is conducive to the full mixing of the cold air and the hot air in the mixing chamber 12.

[0060] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 includes a defrost air port 13, a face air port 14 and a foot air port 15, and the defrost air port 13, the face air port 14 and the foot air port 15 are respectively connected to the mixing chamber 12. Thus, the mixed air in the mixing chamber 12 flows out of the housing 10 from the defrost air port 13, the face air port 14 and the foot air port 15. On the premise that the temperature of the mixed air in the mixing chamber 12 is more uniform, the temperature of the gas flowing out of the housing 10 from the defrost air port 13, the face air port 14 and the foot air port 15 can be more uniform.

[0061] The air conditioner 100 further includes: a defrost damper 51, a face damper 52 and a foot damper 53. The defrost damper 51 is movably provided at the defrost air outlet 13 to adjust the opening of the defrost air outlet 13. The face damper 52 is movably provided at the face damper door to adjust the opening of the face damper 14. The foot damper 53 is movably provided at the foot damper 15 to adjust the opening of the foot damper 15.

[0062] Thus, the air volume of the mixed air discharged from the defrost air outlet 13 , the face air outlet 14 and the foot air outlet 15 can be adjusted, thereby improving the use flexibility of the air conditioner 100 .

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner 100 further includes: a linkage mechanism 60, which is transmission-connected to the surface damper 52 and the rotating baffle 40, so that the surface damper 52 and the rotating baffle 40 are opened or closed synchronously.

[0064] It is understandable that, in the use of the air conditioner 100, the air volume at the face-blowing air door 52 is greater than the air volume at the defrost air outlet 13 and the foot-blowing air outlet 15. When the air volume at the face-blowing air door 52 changes greatly, it is easy to affect the air volume at the defrost air outlet 13 and the foot-blowing air outlet 15.

[0065] Therefore, by setting the face-blowing damper 52 and the rotating baffle 40 to open or close synchronously, the air volume at the face-blowing damper 52 is increased, and the flow rate of cold air entering the mixing chamber 12 through the first opening 111a is increased synchronously. Therefore, the gas flow rate entering the mixing chamber 12 from the cold air and the gas flow rate flowing out of the mixing chamber 12 through the face-blowing vent 14 can change synchronously, reducing or avoiding the influence on the air volume at the defrosting vent 13 and the foot-blowing vent 15.

[0066] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism 60 includes: a driving member 61, a first transmission assembly 62, and a second transmission assembly 63. The first transmission assembly 62 is transmission-connected between the driving member 61 and the face-blowing damper 52, and the second transmission assembly 63 is transmission-connected between the driving member 61 and the rotating baffle 40.

[0067] Thus, the driving member 61 can drive the first transmission assembly 62 and the second transmission assembly 63 simultaneously, so as to realize the synchronous opening or closing of the surface-blowing damper 52 and the rotating baffle 40 .

[0068] Furthermore, the transmission connection between the first transmission assembly 62 and the second transmission assembly 63 can further improve the synchronization of opening or closing of the surface-blowing damper 52 and the rotating baffle 40.

[0069] In the present application, the types of the first transmission assembly 62 and the second transmission assembly 63 are not limited. Figure 6 In the example of the embodiment, the first transmission assembly 62 and the second transmission assembly 63 are configured as a gear set. In another example, the first transmission assembly 62 and the second transmission assembly 63 can be configured as a transmission connecting rod.

[0070] In other embodiments, the first transmission assembly 62 is transmission-connected to the second transmission assembly 63 , and the driving member 61 is transmission-connected to one of the first transmission assembly 62 or the second transmission assembly 63 .

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the defrost air vent 13 and the face air vent 14 are arranged at the top of the housing 10, and the foot air vent 15 is arranged at the bottom of the housing 10. Figure 1 In the example of , the top of the shell 10 is the upper end of the shell 10 , and the bottom of the shell 10 is the lower end of the shell 10 .

[0072] Therefore, the positions of the defrost air outlet 13, the face air outlet 14 and the foot air outlet 15 are set according to different uses of the mixed gas after it flows out of the housing 10, which can reduce the flow path of the mixed gas.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 includes an air inlet 16 , and the air conditioner 100 further includes: a cooling unit 70 , the cooling unit 70 having a cooling air inlet side 71 and a cooling air outlet side 72 , the cooling air inlet side 71 is connected to the air inlet 16 , and the cooling air outlet side 72 is connected to the first cold air chamber 11 .

[0074] Thus, after air enters the housing 10 through the air inlet 16, it enters the cooling unit 70 from the cold air inlet side, and after being cooled in the cooling unit 70, it forms cold air and enters the first cold air chamber 11 from the cold air outlet side. Thus, cold air can be continuously input into the first cold air chamber 11.

[0075] In the present application, the type and structure of the cooling unit 70 are not limited.

[0076] Furthermore, the shell 10 also includes a second cold air cavity 17 having a second cold air outlet 171 . The cooling air outlet side 72 of the cooling unit 70 is connected to the second cold air cavity 17 , and the second cold air outlet 171 is connected to the heating air inlet side 21 of the heating unit 20 .

[0077] Thus, part of the cold air flowing out from the cold air outlet side flows to the first cold air chamber 11, and the other part flows to the second cold air chamber 17, and all the cold air in the second cold air chamber 17 flows to the heating air inlet side 21 through the second cold air outlet 171 and is heated in the heating unit 20 to form hot air. This ensures that the heating unit 20 can continuously input hot air into the mixing chamber 12 at the heating air outlet side 22, thereby improving the stability of the overall flow of hot air entering the mixing chamber 12, that is, improving the stability of the temperature of the mixed air in the mixing chamber 12.

[0078] Furthermore, the air conditioner 100 also includes: a second sliding baffle 80, which is arranged at the second cold air outlet 171, the second sliding baffle 80 closes the second cold air outlet 171 in the third position, and is away from the second cold air outlet 171 in the fourth position, and the second sliding baffle 80 is slidable between the third position and the fourth position.

[0079] Therefore, by sliding the second sliding baffle 80 between the third position and the fourth position, the opening of the second cold air outlet 171 can be synchronously adjusted, that is, the cold air flow rate entering the heating unit 20 from the second cold air chamber 17 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the hot air output flow rate of the heating unit 20 on the heating air outlet side 22, and adjusting the overall hot air flow rate entering the mixing chamber 12.

[0080] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the air conditioner 100 of the above embodiment.

[0081] The vehicle of the present application adopts the air conditioner 100 of the above embodiment, and sets the first sliding baffle 30 to slide between the first opening 111a and the second opening 111b. By adjusting the position of the first sliding baffle 30, the ratio of hot air and cold air entering the mixing chamber 12 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the temperature adjustment of the mixed air in the mixing chamber 12. At the same time, a rotating baffle 40 is set to cover the first opening 111a. By adjusting the rotating baffle 40 to be located at different angles, the cold air flow area at the first opening 111a can be adjusted. And the rotating baffle 40 has different blocking effects on cold air at different angles, so as to reduce and adjust the flow rate of cold air entering the mixing chamber 12 through the first opening 111a. Therefore, the flow rate of cold air entering the mixing chamber 12 can be close to or lower than the flow rate of hot air, which is conducive to the mixing of cold air and hot air, so that the temperature of the mixed air at different positions in the mixing chamber 12 is more uniform, so that the temperature of the mixed air output to the vehicle at different air outlets of the air conditioner 100 can be more uniform, and the comfort of the air conditioner 100 in the vehicle can be improved.

[0082] Other components and operations of the air conditioner 100 and the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
