[0037] Reference below Figure 1 and Figure 2 Describe the heat dissipation system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a heat dissipation system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used in a vehicle 100 and includes: a refrigerator 1 and an air supply duct 2 .

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The refrigerator 1 has a condenser 11, and the air supply duct 2 is used to transport the air-conditioned cold air to the condenser 11 for heat exchange. It should be noted that the refrigerator 1 has a cold storage compartment, which has an evaporator 16. The refrigerator 1 also has a compressor 15. The coolant flows to the condenser 11 through the operation of the compressor 15, passes through the dryer 17, and then enters the evaporator 16, thereby achieving the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator 1. The condenser 11 can be a combination of fins and serpentine tubes, and the serpentine tubes are arranged through multiple fins, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the condenser 11 and ensuring the normal operation of the refrigerator 1.

[0040] It is understood that by delivering the cold air from the air conditioner to the condenser 11 for heat exchange, the condenser 11 can dissipate heat through the cold air from the air conditioner, achieving a good heat dissipation effect and being unaffected by the ambient temperature inside the vehicle. This facilitates better operation of the condenser 11, improves the refrigeration performance of the refrigerator 1, and reduces the energy consumption of the refrigerator 1. Furthermore, the refrigerator 1 does not need to be provided with a fan, which reduces the noise generated by the condenser 11 when dissipating heat.

[0041] According to the heat dissipation system 10 of the embodiment of the present invention, the air supply duct 2 is used to transport the air-conditioned cold air to the condenser 11 for heat exchange. This enables the condenser 11 to dissipate heat through the air-conditioned cold air, resulting in a good heat dissipation effect that is not affected by the ambient temperature inside the vehicle. This facilitates the better operation of the condenser 11, improves the cooling performance of the refrigerator 1, and reduces the energy consumption of the refrigerator 1. Furthermore, the refrigerator 1 does not need to be equipped with a fan, which reduces the noise generated by the condenser 11 when dissipating heat.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator 1 has a storage space 12, and the condenser 11 is arranged in the storage space 12. The refrigerator 1 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14, and the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are both connected to the storage space 12. The air supply duct 2 has an air supply port 21, and the air inlet 13 and the air supply port 21 are connected.

[0043] It is understood that the air-conditioned cold air enters the storage space 12 from the air supply port 21 and the air inlet 13, flows through the condenser 11, exchanges heat with the condenser 11, thereby removing the heat generated by the condenser 11, and then flows out from the air outlet 14, thereby achieving heat exchange between the air-conditioned cold air and the condenser 11. The provision of the air outlet 14 can promptly discharge the heat-exchanged gas in the storage space 12, avoid heat accumulation, ensure the heat dissipation effect of the condenser 11, facilitate the better operation of the condenser 11, improve the refrigeration performance of the refrigerator 1, and reduce the energy consumption of the refrigerator 1.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet 13 is disposed opposite the condenser 11. As a result, the air-conditioned cold air from the air inlet 13 can flow directly to the condenser 11, shortening the flow path of the air-conditioned cold air, thereby reducing the cooling loss during the flow of the air-conditioned cold air and improving the heat exchange efficiency between the air-conditioned cold air and the condenser 11.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the air inlet 13 and the air supply outlet 21 are arranged opposite to each other, thereby making the air-conditioned cold air flow smoothly, further reducing the flow path of the air-conditioned cold air, further reducing the cooling loss during the flow of the air-conditioned cold air, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the air-conditioned cold air and the condenser 11.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a wind direction regulating mechanism 22 is provided at the air outlet 21 for regulating the wind direction at the air outlet 21 ; it should be noted that the wind direction regulating mechanism 22 may be a grille, an air guide plate or the like.

[0047] It can be understood that the wind direction at the air supply port 21 is adjusted by the wind direction adjustment mechanism 22 so that the air-conditioned cold air flows toward the air outlet 14, so that the air-conditioned cold air can flow out from the air outlet 14 better, further avoiding the accumulation of the air-conditioned cold air in the accommodating space 12, improving the fluidity of the air-conditioned cold air, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the air-conditioned cold air and the condenser 11.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an air volume regulating mechanism 23 is provided at the air outlet 21 for regulating the air volume at the air outlet 21. It should be noted that the air volume regulating mechanism 23 may be a control valve, which controls the opening and closing degree of the air outlet 21, thereby achieving air volume control of the air conditioning cold air.

[0049] It is understood that by providing the air volume adjustment mechanism 23, the air volume can be adjusted according to the temperature of the condenser 11, so that the condenser 11 is at an appropriate temperature to ensure the normal operation of the condenser 11. When the temperature of the condenser 11 is too low, the opening of the control valve is reduced, thereby reducing the air volume of the air-conditioning cold air. On the one hand, this prevents the condenser 11 from being too low and ensures the normal operation of the condenser 11. On the other hand, it can also reduce the power of the air conditioner 4 to achieve energy saving effects. When the temperature of the condenser 11 is too high, the opening of the control valve is increased, thereby increasing the air volume of the air-conditioning cold air to improve the heat dissipation effect on the condenser 11.

[0050] It should be noted that the air volume regulating mechanism 23 and the wind direction regulating mechanism 22 can be integrated into one piece or can be separate pieces. For example, in the present invention, the air volume regulating mechanism 23 and the wind direction regulating mechanism 22 are an integrated piece.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the heat dissipation system 10 further includes an air outlet duct 3 having an outlet 31 and an inlet 32. The inlet 32 communicates with the air outlet 14, and the outlet 31 communicates with the external environment of the vehicle 100. Thus, the airflow after heat exchange with the condenser 11 can flow out through the air outlet duct 3, preventing the airflow after heat exchange with the condenser 11 from causing a temperature rise in the vehicle interior. This also prevents the airflow after heat exchange with the condenser 11 from polluting the vehicle interior, thereby ensuring fresh air in the vehicle interior.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle 100 has a sub-instrument panel, which has a sub-instrument exhaust duct 61. The sub-instrument exhaust duct 61 is used to discharge the air-conditioned cold air after heat exchange with the condenser 11 to the environment outside the vehicle 100. In this way, the air-conditioned cold air after heat exchange with the condenser 11 is discharged in a timely manner, and the air-conditioned cold air after heat exchange with the condenser 11 is prevented from accumulating around the condenser 11, further improving the heat dissipation effect of the condenser 11.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooling system 10 further includes an outlet duct 3 having an outlet 31 and an inlet 32. The inlet 32 is connected to the air outlet 14. The outlet duct 3 is connected to the external environment of the vehicle 100 via the auxiliary instrument exhaust duct 61. Thus, the outlet 31 of the outlet duct 3 is connected to the air inlet of the auxiliary instrument exhaust duct 61, and the exhaust outlet of the auxiliary instrument exhaust duct 61 is connected to the external environment. As a result, the outlet duct can discharge the airflow after heat exchange with the condenser 11 to the external environment through the auxiliary instrument exhaust duct 61.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, a sealing structure is provided between the inlet 32 and the air outlet 14 to prevent air leakage between the inlet 32 and the air outlet 14 , wherein the sealing structure may be a sealing gasket, a sealing ring, or the like.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet 14 is directly connected to the interior environment of the vehicle 100. This allows the airflow after heat exchange with the condenser 11 to be directly discharged, resulting in high exhaust efficiency, a simple exhaust structure, and low cost.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there is a gap between the condenser 11 and the wall of the accommodating space 12. As a result, the air-conditioning cool air can contact all surfaces of the condenser 11, so that the air-conditioning cool air can fully exchange heat with the condenser 11, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser 11.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there is a sealing structure between the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 21. Thus, air leakage between the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 21 is avoided, wherein the sealing structure can be a sealing gasket, a sealing ring, etc.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, heat dissipation system 10 further includes: a temperature sensor, an air volume sensor, and a controller. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of condenser 11; the air volume sensor is used to detect the volume of air-conditioning cold air passing through air supply duct 2; and the controller is communicatively connected to both the temperature sensor and the air volume sensor to control the volume and temperature of the air-conditioning cold air. It should be noted that the controller is communicatively connected to air volume adjustment mechanism 23, thereby enabling the controller to control the volume and temperature of the air-conditioning cold air.

[0059] It is understandable that when the controller detects that refrigerator 1 is turned on and condenser 11 of refrigerator 1 is monitored by the temperature sensor and needs to dissipate heat, air conditioner 4 begins to operate, outputting conditioned cold air to air supply duct 2 and toward condenser 11. The controller controls the air volume and temperature of the conditioned cold air based on the signals from the temperature sensor and air volume sensor to achieve optimal heat dissipation and energy consumption control. Furthermore, the controller has fault diagnosis and alarm functions, alerting the user to take corrective action if the air volume is abnormal.

[0060] Reference below Figure 3 A vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, a vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the above-mentioned heat dissipation system 10 .

[0062] According to the embodiment of the present invention, vehicle 100 is provided with the aforementioned heat dissipation system 10. Air supply duct 2 is used to transport air-conditioned cold air to condenser 11 for heat exchange. This allows condenser 11 to dissipate heat through the air-conditioned cold air, resulting in effective heat dissipation that is unaffected by the ambient temperature within the vehicle. This facilitates better operation of condenser 11, improves the cooling performance of refrigerator 1, and reduces energy consumption. Furthermore, refrigerator 1 does not require a fan, which reduces noise generated by condenser 11 during heat dissipation.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle 100 also includes: an air-conditioning duct 5 and an auxiliary instrument rear air outlet piece 62. The air-conditioning duct 5 is used to transport air-conditioned cold air, and the air supply duct 2 is connected to the air-conditioning duct 5; the auxiliary instrument rear air outlet piece 62 is connected to the air-conditioning duct 5 for transporting air-conditioned cold air to the rear space of the vehicle 100.

[0064] It is understood that vehicle 100 also includes an air conditioner 4, which is connected to an air conditioning duct 5, and an air supply duct 2 is connected to the air conditioning duct 5. Thus, conditioned air can be delivered from air conditioner 4 of vehicle 100 through the air conditioning duct 5 into the air supply duct 2, thereby dissipating heat from condenser 11. Simultaneously, the conditioned air can also pass through the auxiliary instrument panel rear exhaust 62 to cool the rear passenger compartment of vehicle 100.

[0065] For example, in the present invention, the air conditioning duct 5 is located within the auxiliary instrument panel, the refrigerator 1 is located above the auxiliary instrument panel, and the air supply duct 2 extends in the vertical direction, thereby allowing the conditioned cold air to be blown along the air supply duct 2 toward the condenser 11. Furthermore, the auxiliary instrument panel rear exhaust air element 62 is located behind the air supply duct 2 and is connected to the auxiliary instrument panel rear exhaust air element 62 via the air conditioning duct 5, thereby cooling the rear cabin of the vehicle 100.
