Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal comfort management technology for racing drivers, and in particular to an integrated air-water cooling system for racing cars. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, race car drivers wear racing suits for safety when driving at high speeds. However, racing suits are designed to be very thick and tightly wrapped to provide better safety protection, which can be very hot to wear in the summer. Therefore, existing race cars are equipped with racing cooling devices, which provide cool air to the driver's helmet and circulate water cooling into the racing suit.

[0003] Currently, for racing car cooling systems, water cooling and air cooling exist independently. If both water cooling and air cooling are required, at least two cooling devices need to be installed, namely a water cooling device and an air cooling device. This obviously increases the space occupied by the racing car. Since the space design of the racing car itself is limited, having water cooling and air cooling as separate devices is very unfavorable for use on racing cars. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated water and air cooling device for racing cars, which solves the problem that existing racing car cooling devices only have water cooling and air cooling separately. If water cooling and air cooling are required to be equipped simultaneously, at least two cooling devices are needed, namely a water cooling device and an air cooling device. This obviously increases the space occupied by the racing car. Since the space design of the racing car itself is limited, the drawback of having water cooling and air cooling as separate devices is very unfavorable for use on racing cars.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a water-cooled integrated racing car cooling device, comprising a housing,

[0006] The housing contains a compressor, a condenser, a water tank, a first water pump, a water-cooled radiator, and a second water pump. The compressor outlet is connected to the condenser inlet via a copper pipe. A condenser fan is installed on one side of the condenser, and the condenser outlet is connected to the compressor inlet via a copper pipe.

[0007] The water tank is provided with two inlets and two outlets. One of the outlets of the water tank is connected to the inlet pipe of the first water pump, and the outlet pipe of the first water pump extends to the outside. The other outlet of the water tank is connected to the inlet pipe of the second water pump, and the outlet pipe of the second water pump is connected to the water cooling radiator. The outlet pipe of the water cooling radiator is connected to one of the inlets of the water tank.

[0008] A blower is installed on the cooling surface of the water-cooled radiator. A main board, an exhaust port, and a water inlet are provided on the top of the housing. The main board includes a compressor control board, a liquid cooling control board, and an air cooling control board. The air outlet of the blower is connected to the exhaust port, and the water inlet is connected to the top of the water tank.

[0009] In operation, the compressor compresses the internal refrigerant, creating a high-temperature, high-pressure state. This refrigerant is then sent to the condenser for cooling. The condenser's cooling process is achieved by a condenser fan exhausting air outwards, further lowering the refrigerant temperature. The low-temperature refrigerant flows through the water tank, transferring its low temperature to the liquid inside, thus cooling the liquid and making it a low-temperature liquid. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor for the next cycle. The outlet pipe of the first water pump is connected to a liquid-cooled suit, and the helmet's air inlet is connected to the blower's exhaust outlet. The first water pump draws liquid from the water tank and directs it into the liquid-cooled suit worn by the wearer, before it flows back into the water tank, continuously circulating to achieve water cooling. The second water pump draws liquid from the water tank into a water-cooled radiator. The radiator cools the surrounding air, so the blower draws air from the cooling surface of the radiator and delivers the cool air into the helmet. The liquid discharged from the radiator returns to the water tank, continuously circulating to achieve air cooling.

[0010] Furthermore, the compressor control board is electrically connected to the compressor, the liquid cooling control board is electrically connected to the first water pump, and the air cooling control board is electrically connected to the second water pump and the blower.

[0011] Furthermore, the enclosure is made of aluminum alloy.

[0012] Furthermore, a power interface and a data interface are respectively provided on both sides of the enclosure.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the box is provided with a base plate, and bolts are provided on the base plate. A fixing seat is fixedly installed on the base plate by means of bolts.

[0014] Furthermore, the copper pipe between the condenser and the compressor passes through the water tank.

[0015] Furthermore, the air inlet of the blower corresponds to the water-cooled radiator.

[0016] The present invention provides an integrated air-water cooling device for racing cars, which has the following advantages: Based on the principle of compressor refrigeration, the liquid in the water tank is cooled down to a low temperature. At the same time, the liquid is diverted by the first and second water pumps, allowing a portion of the liquid in the water tank to flow into the water cooling radiator. The blower generates cold air, which is then sent into the helmet. The other portion flows into the liquid cooling suit, forming water cooling and integrating air and water cooling, making it more suitable for use on racing cars. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 One embodiment of the present invention provides: a wind-water integrated racing car cooling device, comprising a housing 1,

[0025] The housing 1 is equipped with a compressor 3, a condenser 4, a water tank 8, a first water pump 9, a water-cooled radiator 10, and a second water pump 11. The outlet of the compressor 3 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 4 through a copper pipe. A condenser fan 13 is installed on one side of the condenser 4. The outlet of the condenser 4 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 3 through a copper pipe. The copper pipe between the condenser 4 and the compressor 3 passes through the water tank 8.

[0026] In use, the water tank 8 is filled with liquid. The copper pipe between the condenser 4 and the compressor 3 is in direct contact with the liquid in the water tank 8. Based on the refrigeration principle of the compressor 3, the compressor 3 compresses the refrigerant and then delivers the refrigerant to the condenser 4. After the condenser 4 works with the condenser fan 13 to dissipate heat, it forms a low-temperature refrigerant. The low-temperature refrigerant flows through the water tank 8 and transfers the low temperature to the liquid in the water tank 8. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 3, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the liquid inside the water tank 8.

[0027] See attached document Figure 1-5 As shown, the water tank 8 is provided with two inlets and two outlets. One of the outlets of the water tank 8 is connected to the inlet pipe of the first water pump 9, and the outlet pipe of the first water pump 9 extends to the outside. The other outlet of the water tank 8 is connected to the inlet pipe of the second water pump 11, and the outlet pipe of the second water pump 11 is connected to the water cooling radiator 10. The outlet pipe of the water cooling radiator 10 is connected to one of the inlets of the water tank 8.

[0028] In use, the outlet pipe of the first water pump 9 is connected to the external liquid cooling suit. The first water pump 9 and the second water pump 11 are used to split the flow. The second water pump 11 will allow a portion of the liquid in the water tank 8 to flow into the water cooling radiator 10, while the first water pump 9 will allow the other portion to flow into the external liquid cooling suit, forming water cooling and creating an integrated air-water cooling system, which is more suitable for use on racing cars.

[0029] See attached document Figure 1-5 As shown, a blower 12 is installed on the cooling surface of the water-cooled radiator 10. The top of the housing 1 is provided with a main board 2, an exhaust port 14, and a water inlet 15. The main board 2 includes a compressor control board, a liquid cooling control board, and an air cooling control board. The air outlet of the blower 12 is connected to the exhaust port 14. The water inlet 15 is connected to the top of the water tank 8. The air inlet of the blower 12 corresponds to the water-cooled radiator 10. The compressor control board is electrically connected to the compressor 3. The liquid cooling control board is electrically connected to the first water pump 9. The air cooling control board is electrically connected to the second water pump 11 and the blower 12.

[0030] When in use, the liquid in the water tank 8 flows into the water cooling radiator 10, and cold air is generated by the blower 12. The main board 2 includes a compressor control board, a liquid cooling control board and an air cooling control board. The three control boards control the coordinated operation of the compressor 3, the first water pump 9 and the second water pump 11 with the blower 12 respectively.

[0031] See attached document Figure 1-5 As shown, the enclosure 1 is made of aluminum alloy. Power interface and data interface are respectively provided on both sides of the enclosure 1. The bottom of the enclosure 1 is provided with a base plate 5. Bolts 7 are provided on the base plate 5. The base plate 5 is fixedly installed with a mounting bracket 6 by bolts 7.

[0032] In use, the mounting base 6 is used to fix it to the race car, and the base plate 5 is detachably installed with the mounting base 6 by bolts 7 or other fixing structures.

[0033] In practical use, this embodiment of a water-cooled integrated racing car cooling device uses a compressor 3 to compress the internal refrigerant, creating a high-temperature, high-pressure state. The refrigerant is then sent to a condenser 4 for cooling. The condenser 4's cooling is achieved by exhausting air from the condenser fan 13, further reducing the refrigerant temperature. The low-temperature refrigerant flows through a water tank 8, transferring its low temperature to the liquid within, thus cooling the liquid in the tank 8 and making it a low-temperature liquid. The refrigerant then returns to the compressor 3 for the next cycle. The outlet pipe of the first water pump 9 is connected to a liquid cooling suit, allowing the helmet to enter... The air vent is connected to the exhaust port 14 of the blower 12. The first water pump 9 draws liquid out of the water tank 8 and introduces it into the liquid-cooled suit worn by the human body, and then flows back into the water tank 8. The continuous circulation achieves the water cooling effect. The second water pump 11 draws liquid out of the water tank 8 into the water-cooled radiator 10. The water-cooled radiator 10 can cool the surrounding air. Therefore, the blower 12 draws air from the cooling surface of the water-cooled radiator 10 and sends the cold air into the helmet. The liquid discharged from the water-cooled radiator 10 flows back into the water tank 8. The continuous circulation achieves the air cooling effect.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
