[0002] At present, the following forms are generally used for heating inside large vehicles such as coaches and buses:

[0003] The engine waste heat recovery method uses the waste heat of the engine coolant to provide heating through a heat exchanger. This method is old technology and is only used on fuel-powered vehicles.

[0004] Fuel-fired liquid heating utilizes a fuel-fired liquid heater to heat the antifreeze by burning diesel or gasoline, which is then circulated to the vehicle's radiator for heating. However, this heating method has the disadvantages of burning oil, which produces air pollution, and is environmentally unfriendly, not meeting current environmental standards.

[0005] PTC electric heating uses a PTC heating system, where a high-voltage current flows through a ceramic heating element to generate heat, which is then combined with a blower unit to force convection for heating. While this heating method is environmentally friendly and economical, its disadvantages are the high temperatures of PTC heating, which can be dangerous, the concentrated heat, and the discomfort it creates for passengers, along with low heating efficiency.

[0006] The heat pump air conditioning heating method uses a heat pump air conditioning system, which switches the refrigerant flow direction through a four-way valve to achieve reverse Carnot cycle heating. The disadvantages are high cost, difficulty in layout inside the vehicle, and discomfort caused by the hot air blowing on the head during use. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to make the present application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel vehicle side interior structure with heating function is installed in the vehicle. The vehicle comprises a vehicle body 1, a plurality of side windows 13 are installed on the vehicle body 1, and a plurality of seats 4 are installed in the vehicle body 1.

[0028] The heated side panel interior structure is installed on the inner wall of the vehicle body 1, corresponding to the seat 4. The heat emitted directly corresponds to the seat 4 area, giving people a direct heating feeling.

[0029] The heated side panel interior structure includes a bus 5 , a control device 2 and a heating device.

[0030] The bus 5 is wound around the inside of the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 and is electrically connected to the vehicle's main control power supply.

[0031] Control device 2 includes a control housing 9 and a controller located within control housing 9. The controller employs a single-chip microcomputer or a control circuit board. The control circuit board is the most preferred embodiment due to its simplicity, practicality, and low cost, making it easily designed by a skilled person. Seat 4 is mounted with a temperature sensor 8 and a seat induction sensor. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 8 and the seat induction sensor via a connecting wire.

[0032] The control housing 9 is mounted with a display panel 12, two temperature control buttons 10, and a power indicator light 11. The display panel 12, temperature control buttons 10, and power indicator light 11 are electrically connected to the control circuit board via connecting wires. Typically, a row of seats 4 is equipped with two seat sensors and a temperature sensor 8. The control circuit board controls the two seat sensors via a first switch 6 and a second switch 7, respectively.

[0033] The heating device is installed on the lower part of the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 and corresponds to the position of the seat 4. The heating device includes a heating element 3 installed on the inner wall of the vehicle body 1. The upper part of the heating element 3 is connected to the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 through an upper heat-insulating decorative part, and the lower part of the heating element 3 is connected to the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 through a lower fixing part. The heating element 3 includes a heat-insulating layer 16, a heating layer 17 and a decorative layer 18. The heat-insulating layer 16 corresponds to the inner wall of the vehicle body 1, and the decorative layer 18 is installed corresponding to the position of the seat 4. The heat-insulating layer 16 is made of heat-insulating cotton or ceramic fiber heat-insulating pad. The heating layer 17 adopts a graphene heating film, and the graphene heating film is connected to the control circuit board through an electrical connection line.

[0034] Graphene acts as a heating film. When electricity is applied to the electrodes at both ends, the carbon molecules in the heating film generate phonons, ions, and electrons in the resistor. The resulting carbon molecular clusters rub and collide with each other (also known as Brownian motion), generating heat energy. This heat energy is then uniformly radiated in a planar manner by controlling the wavelength of far-infrared light between 5-14 microns, achieving a heating effect. The heating film has a total effective electric heat energy conversion rate of over 99%. This structure has a large heating area and low heat per unit area, making it safer and more comfortable.

[0035] The lower fixing part is a "+"-shaped mounting base 20, which is installed horizontally. The lower part of the heating element 3 is abutted against the "+"-shaped mounting base 20. The "+"-shaped mounting base 20 includes an "+"-shaped body 22, and a first leg 23 and a second leg 24 are provided on both sides of the "+"-shaped body 22. The first leg 23 is located at the top, and the second leg 24 is located at the bottom. A cavity is left between the first leg 23 and the inner wall of the vehicle body 1, and the lower end of the heating element 3 is inserted into the cavity. The "+"-shaped body 22 is mounted on a connecting plate 19 at the bottom of the seat 4 by bolts 21.

[0036] The upper heat-insulating decorative member includes a window lower edge decorative member 15 mounted on the inner side wall of the vehicle body 1 and corresponding to the lower part of the side window 13. A heat-insulating sealing strip 14 is installed between the window lower edge decorative member 15 and the side window 13. The control housing 9 is mounted below the window lower edge decorative member 15.

[0037] The heating element of the present invention adopts an integrated design, with an overall elegant appearance, which improves the grade of the vehicle. The heating element adopts electric heating and uses graphene as the heating film to adapt to the development of new energy buses.

[0038] The heater of this invention generates heat near the passenger side, providing more direct heating, more noticeable results, and a better passenger experience. The heater utilizes graphene heating film, offering significant advantages such as rapid heating, surface heating, and far-infrared heat radiation. Furthermore, the heater provides a more direct, more efficient, and energy-efficient heat sensation.

[0039] Each seat group (single or double, depending on the vehicle layout) features independent temperature control, with each heater individually controlled via buttons on the control housing for a more user-friendly experience. In terms of automatic control, temperature sensors enable real-time temperature monitoring and automatic shutdown in the event of overheating, making it both smarter and safer.

[0040] The control circuit board is connected to the seat sensor, which can detect whether there is someone in the seat. If someone is detected, the heater will heat up. If no one is detected, the heater will not heat up, which improves energy saving.

[0041] According to actual needs, the control circuit board can be integrated with a forced heating mode to achieve full heating of the entire vehicle and rapid temperature rise.

[0042] The heating elements are integrated into the side panels, which saves more space. The hidden heating reflects the minimalist design and is more high-end. At the same time, the outside of the inner wall of the car body is covered with heat insulation material, which is more energy-saving; there is a decorative layer on the inner side close to the passenger side, which is more beautiful and comfortable.

[0043] During actual use, except for the electrodes, local damage to the heating area of ​​the graphene heating element will not affect the overall function, making it safer and more durable.

[0044] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present invention upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not invented herein.

The scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims.
