Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0026] This application provides a housing assembly, a temperature control system, and a vehicle.

[0027] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the vehicle provided in this application. Figure 6 As shown, vehicle 1 includes a temperature control system 2, which includes a vehicle air conditioning assembly 40. The vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 is configured to provide cool or hot air to the passenger compartment 10 of vehicle 1 through a temperature-regulating air duct 400 to cool or heat the passenger compartment 10, thereby regulating the temperature of the passenger compartment 10. The temperature control system 2 may include a controller 30, which is configured to control the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the housing assembly provided in this application. Figure 2 Another angle view of one embodiment of the housing assembly provided in this application. (See attached image.) Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the housing assembly 20 includes a housing 21 and a first pipe 23. The housing 21 includes a receiving cavity 211, and an air inlet 212 and an external air outlet 213 communicating with the receiving cavity 211. The first pipe 23 is connected to the housing 21 and is configured to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 and the air inlet 212 to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 of the air conditioning assembly 40 and the external air outlet 213 as a first ventilation channel.

[0029] The enclosure assembly 20 provided in this embodiment includes a housing 21 comprising a receiving cavity 211, an air inlet 212 communicating with the receiving cavity 211, and an external air outlet 213. The enclosure assembly 20 also includes a first pipe 23 configured to connect a temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 and the air inlet 212, thus connecting the temperature regulating duct 400 of the air conditioning assembly 40 and the external air outlet 213 as a first ventilation channel. When the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 provides cold or hot air to the passenger compartment 10 through the temperature regulating duct 400 to cool or heat the passenger compartment 10, the cold or hot air in the temperature regulating duct 400 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the enclosure 21 through the first pipe 23 to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 of the enclosure 21, thereby regulating the temperature within the receiving cavity 211 of the enclosure 21. Meanwhile, the air inside the cavity 211 of the box 21 can be discharged to the outside of the vehicle 11 through the external exhaust vent 213, so as to realize the ventilation of the cavity 211 of the box 21 through the first ventilation channel, and prevent the odor gas inside the cavity 211 of the box 21 from entering the passenger compartment and affecting the passenger compartment environment, thus realizing a smart cockpit that is closer to the needs of the configuration.

[0030] It should be noted that the box 21 of the box assembly 20 can be a front trunk, a rear trunk, or other box 21 structures, and there is no limitation here. The first ventilation channel is a channel extending from the temperature regulating air duct 400 to the vehicle exterior exhaust vent 213. When the first ventilation channel is open, gas can pass from the temperature regulating air duct 400 through the first pipe 23 and the receiving cavity 211 of the box 21 in sequence, and be discharged through the vehicle exterior exhaust vent 213.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the temperature regulating air duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40 includes a face air duct 43 and a foot air duct 44. The first pipe 23 is configured to connect the air inlet 212 with at least one of the face air duct 43 and the foot air duct 44, so that the temperature regulating air duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40 provides cold or hot air to the passenger compartment 10 through the face air duct 43 or the foot air duct 44 to cool or heat the passenger compartment 10. When the passenger compartment 10 is being cooled or heated, the cold or hot air in the temperature regulating air duct 400 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first pipe 23 to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first pipe 23 includes a first sub-pipe 2311 configured to connect the air inlet 212 and the air blowing duct 43, so that when the temperature regulating air duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40 provides cold or hot air to the passenger compartment 10 through the air blowing duct 43, the cold or hot air in the air blowing duct 43 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first sub-pipe 2311 to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0033] The air outlet of the face-blowing duct 43 is typically located in the main instrument panel of vehicle 1 and is configured to provide cold or hot air to the faces of the occupants and driver in the passenger compartment 10. Since the vehicle 1 air conditioning system will first activate the face-blowing duct 43 and blow cold air when in cooling mode, by connecting the first sub-pipe 2311 to the air inlet 212 and the face-blowing duct 43, when the face-blowing duct 43 provides cold air to the passenger compartment 10, the cold air in the face-blowing duct 43 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first sub-pipe 2311 to cool the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21, thus matching the air delivery strategy of the vehicle 1 air conditioning system.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first pipe 23 includes a second sub-pipe 2312 configured to connect the air inlet 212 and the foot blowing duct 44, so that when the temperature regulating air duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 provides cold or hot air to the passenger compartment 10 through the foot blowing duct 44, the cold or hot air in the foot blowing duct 44 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the second sub-pipe 2312 to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0035] The air outlet of the foot-blowing duct 44 is typically located at the bottom of the passenger compartment 10 of vehicle 1, and is configured to provide cold or hot air to the feet of the occupants and driver of the passenger compartment 10. Since the vehicle 1 air conditioning system will first select to open the foot-blowing duct 44 and blow hot air when the vehicle 1 air conditioning system is in heating mode, by connecting the air inlet 212 and the foot-blowing duct 44 through the second sub-pipe 2312, when the foot-blowing duct 44 provides hot air to the passenger compartment 10, the hot air in the foot-blowing duct 44 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the second sub-pipe 2312 to heat the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21, so as to match the air supply strategy of the vehicle 1 air conditioning system.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first pipe 23 may further include a third sub-pipe 2313, one end of which is configured to communicate with the air inlet 212, and the other end of which is configured to communicate with the first sub-pipe 2311 and the second sub-pipe 2312. Thus, the first sub-pipe 2311 and the second sub-pipe 2312 can be connected to the air inlet 212 of the housing 21 via the third sub-pipe 2313, without requiring the first sub-pipe 2311 and the second sub-pipe 2312 to be separately connected to the air inlet 212 of the housing 21, which helps to reduce the total length of the first pipe 23.

[0037] Specifically, the housing assembly 20 includes a connector structure 2314. The connector structure 2314 can be installed on the front bulkhead 12 of the vehicle 1. One end of the third sub-pipe 2313 is connected to the air inlet 212, and the other end of the third sub-pipe 2313 is connected to the connector structure 2314.

[0038] There are two first sub-pipes 2311. One end of each first sub-pipe 2311 is connected to one of the two air ducts 43, and the other end of each first sub-pipe 2311 is connected to a connector structure 2314, so that the two first sub-pipes 2311 are connected to a third sub-pipe 2313 through the connector structure 2314. One of the first sub-pipes 2311 can be configured for hot air circulation, and the other first sub-pipe 2311 can be configured for cold air circulation.

[0039] There are two second sub-pipes 2312. One end of each second sub-pipe 2312 is connected to two foot-blowing ducts 44. The other end of each second sub-pipe 2312 is connected to a connector structure 2314, allowing the two second sub-pipes 2312 to connect to a third sub-pipe 2313 via the connector structure 2314. One of the second sub-pipes 2312 can be configured for hot air circulation, and the other second sub-pipe 2312 can be configured for cold air circulation.

[0040] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 20 includes a first control valve 231 connected to a first conduit 23, the first control valve 231 being configured to control the opening and closing of the first conduit 23. Thus, when the first control valve 231 controls the first conduit 23 to open, cold or hot air from the temperature regulating duct 400 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first conduit 23, thereby cooling or heating the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21. When the first control valve 231 controls the first conduit 23 to close, it can prevent cold or hot air from the temperature regulating duct 400 from leaking into the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first conduit 23, thus avoiding affecting the cooling or heating efficiency of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 for the passenger compartment 10.

[0041] The first control valve 231 can be a damper, a solenoid valve, or other control valve capable of controlling the opening and closing of the first pipeline 23; no limitation is made here. Alternatively, the first control valve 231 can be located in the connector structure 2314. The first control valve 231 controls the opening and closing of the first pipeline 23 by controlling the opening and closing of the third sub-pipeline 2313 with the first sub-pipeline 2311 and the second sub-pipeline 2312.

[0042] In other embodiments, the first control valve 231 may also be located at one end of the first pipe 23 near the air inlet 212, or at one end of the first pipe 23 near the temperature regulating duct 400. Alternatively, the first control valve 231 may be located at a position between the two ends of the first pipe 23, as long as the first control valve 231 can control the opening and closing of the first pipe 23.

[0043] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to control the first conduit 23 of the housing assembly 20 to connect the temperature regulating duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40, so as to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 through the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40, which facilitates the automation of the housing assembly 20. The controller 30 can be configured to receive user instructions and control the first conduit 23 to connect the temperature regulating duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40, so as to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 through the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40. Alternatively, the controller 30 can also automatically control the first conduit 23 to connect the temperature regulating duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 when preset conditions are met, so as to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 through the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40.

[0044] The controller 30 automatically controls the preset conditions for the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40 and the air inlet 212. These conditions may include the temperature inside the receiving cavity 211 reaching a preset temperature, or the temperature difference between the receiving cavity 211 and the outside temperature 11 reaching a preset temperature difference. In addition, the controller 30 can control the opening or closing of the first control valve 231 to control the conduction or disconnection of the first pipe 23.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 2The housing assembly 20 may also include a second pipe 22, which is connected to the housing 21. The second pipe 22 is configured to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the external air outlet 213 to form a second ventilation channel. This allows air from outside the vehicle 11 to enter the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the external air inlet 41 and the second pipe 22 of the second ventilation channel, and to exhaust air from outside the vehicle 11 through the external air outlet 213. This achieves air exchange in the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21, preventing moisture and odors from easily appearing in the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21 after storing items for a long time.

[0046] It should be noted that the second ventilation channel is a channel extending from the external air inlet 41 to the external air outlet 213. When the second ventilation channel is open, the gas can enter the second ventilation channel from the external air inlet 41, and then pass through the second pipe 22 and the receiving cavity 211 of the box 21 in sequence before being discharged from the external air outlet 213.

[0047] In some embodiments, a first pressure relief valve 214 may be provided at the external exhaust vent 213, so that the first pressure relief valve 214 can be opened after the air pressure in the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 reaches a predetermined pressure, so that the air can be discharged through the external exhaust vent 213.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the temperature regulating air duct 400 can include an air intake duct 411 located between the external air intake 41 and the damper 42, and the second pipe 22 is configured to communicate with the air intake duct 411. Therefore, the communication between the second pipe 22 and the external air intake 41 is not affected by the opening or closing of the damper 42. Even after the damper 42 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 is closed, air from outside the vehicle 11 can still enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the external air intake 41 and the second pipe 22, thereby replacing the air in the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0049] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 20 may further include a second control valve 221 (not shown) connected to the second conduit 22. The second control valve 221 is configured to control the opening and closing of the second conduit 22. Thus, when the second control valve 221 controls the second conduit 22 to open, air from outside the vehicle 11 can enter the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the outside air inlet 41 and the second conduit 22, thereby replacing the air in the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21. When the second control valve 221 controls the second conduit 22 to close, air can be prevented from entering the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the outside air inlet 41 and the second conduit 22, thus preventing it from affecting the cooling or heating efficiency of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 or the cooling / heating unit 27 (hereinafter referred to as the cooling / heating unit 27) in the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0050] The second control valve 221 can be a damper, a solenoid valve, or other control valve capable of controlling the opening and closing of the second pipeline 22; no limitation is made here. The second control valve 221 can be located at one end of the second pipeline 22 near the external air inlet 41, or at one end of the second pipeline 22 near the air inlet 212 of the housing 21, or at a position between the two ends of the second pipeline 22, as long as the second control valve 221 can control the opening and closing of the second pipeline 22.

[0051] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to control the second conduit 22 of the housing assembly 20 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the housing 21 of the housing assembly 20 to ventilate the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21, which facilitates the automation of the housing assembly 20. The controller 30 can be configured to receive user commands and control the second conduit 22 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the housing 21 of the housing assembly 20 to ventilate the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21. Alternatively, the controller 30 can also automatically control the second conduit 22 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the housing 21 of the housing assembly 20 to ventilate the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 when preset conditions are met.

[0052] The controller 30 automatically controls the second pipe 22 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the housing 21 of the housing assembly 20. Preset conditions may include: the temperature inside the containment cavity 211 reaches a preset temperature; the temperature difference between the containment cavity 211 and the external temperature 11 reaches a preset temperature difference; the containment cavity 211 remains closed for a preset duration; and the type of item placed inside the containment cavity 211 requires ventilation of the housing 211, etc. Additionally, the controller 30 can control the opening or closing of the second control valve 221 to control the conduction or disconnection of the second pipe 22.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing assembly 20 also includes a multi-way valve 25 connected to the air inlet 212, and the first pipe 23 and the second pipe 22 are respectively connected to the multi-way valve 25. Therefore, the first pipe 23 and the second pipe 22 can be connected to the multi-way valve 25 first, and then the multi-way valve 25 can be connected to the housing 21 and connected to the air inlet 212, thereby connecting the second pipe 22 and the first pipe 23 to the air inlet 212 respectively, without needing to connect the second pipe 22 and the first pipe 23 separately to the air inlet 212 of the housing 21, which simplifies the structure of the air inlet 212 of the housing 21.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 20 may further include a fan 26 disposed at the air inlet 212, with the air outlet side of the fan 26 facing the receiving cavity 211. Thus, when the fan 26 is turned on, air can be supplied to the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the air inlet 212, allowing air from the second pipe 22 or the first pipe 23 to enter the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 more quickly, thereby improving the ventilation efficiency or temperature regulation efficiency of the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21. The fan 26 may be an axial fan 26 or a turbine fan 26; no limitation is made here.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The housing assembly 20 also includes a multi-way valve 25 communicating with the air inlet 212, and a second pipe 22 and a first pipe 23 communicating with the multi-way valve 25 respectively. In some embodiments, a fan 26 may be disposed inside the multi-way valve 25 so that the fan 26 draws air from the second pipe 22 or the first pipe 23 into the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the enclosure assembly 20 may further include a cooling / heating unit 27 connected to the enclosure 21, configured to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211. This improves the cooling or heating efficiency of the receiving cavity 211 within the enclosure 21. Simultaneously, it upgrades the enclosure 21 into a "customized smart storage compartment," providing emotional value to the user and solving the technical problems of refrigerating items within the enclosure 21 at high temperatures and heating / insulating items at low temperatures. The cooling / heating unit 27 may include a semiconductor cooling / heating unit.

[0057] Specifically, the cooling / heating device 27 can be connected to the housing 21, and the cooling / heating element of the cooling / heating device 27 is located within the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21. By controlling the forward and reverse direction of the current within the cooling / heating device 27, the cooling / heating element of the cooling / heating device 27 can perform cooling or heating. The cooling / heating device 27 can be a semiconductor cooling / heating device, or other devices capable of cooling or heating the gas within the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the housing assembly 20 also includes a return air duct 24, both ends of which are configured to communicate with the receiving cavity 211, so that air in the receiving cavity 211 flows back to the receiving cavity 211 after passing through the return air duct 24. Therefore, when the receiving cavity 211 is cooled or heated by the cooling / heating unit 27, the air in the receiving cavity 211 can be circulated through the return air duct 24, allowing the cold or hot air generated by the cooling / heating unit 27 to be quickly and evenly distributed within the receiving cavity 211, which helps to improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the receiving cavity 211.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 21 also includes a return air inlet 215 communicating with the receiving cavity 211. One end of the return air duct 24 is configured to communicate with the return air inlet 215, and the other end of the return air duct 24 is configured to communicate with the air inlet 212, thereby connecting both ends of the return air duct 24 to the receiving cavity 211. Furthermore, having one end of the return air duct 24 connected to the receiving cavity 211 via the air inlet 212 helps reduce the number of openings in the housing 21. Additionally, when a fan 26 is installed at the air inlet 212, the return air duct 24 can utilize the fan 26 to promote air circulation within the receiving cavity 211.

[0060] In some embodiments, the return air duct 24 may be connected to a third control valve 241, which is configured to control the opening and closing of the return air duct 24. When the third control valve 241 controls the return air duct 24 to open, the air in the receiving cavity 211 flows back to the receiving cavity 211 after passing through the return air duct 24, realizing the circulation of air in the receiving cavity 211. When the third control valve 241 controls the return air duct 24 to close, the air in the second duct 22 or the first duct 23 can enter the receiving cavity 211 more quickly, thereby improving the air exchange efficiency or temperature regulation efficiency of the receiving cavity 211.

[0061] The third control valve 241 can be located at either end of the return air duct 24, or at a position between the two ends of the return air duct 24, as long as the third control valve 241 can control the opening and closing of the return air duct 24. Alternatively, the third control valve 241 can be a damper 42, a solenoid valve, or other control valve capable of controlling the opening and closing of the return air duct 24; there are no restrictions here.

[0062] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 20 may further include a multi-way valve 25 communicating with the air inlet 212, and the first pipe 23, the second pipe 22, and the return air pipe 24 may be configured to communicate with the multi-way valve 25. Thus, the second pipe 22, the first pipe 23, and the return air pipe 24 may be connected to the multi-way valve 25 first, and then the multi-way valve 25 may be connected to the housing 21 and connected to the air inlet 212, thereby allowing the second pipe 22, the first pipe 23, and the return air pipe 24 to communicate with the air inlet 212, without needing to connect the second pipe 22, the first pipe 23, and the return air pipe 24 separately to the air inlet 212 of the housing 21, which simplifies the structure of the air inlet 212 of the housing 21.

[0063] In some embodiments, the height of the return air inlet 215 relative to the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 211 can be less than the height of the cooling / heating unit 27 relative to the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 211. This facilitates the cooling air generated by the cooling / heating unit 27 to sink and quickly enter the return air duct through the return air inlet 215, thereby promoting the circulation speed of the cooling air and improving the cooling efficiency of the receiving cavity 211.

[0064] In addition, the height of the return air vent 215 relative to the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 211 can be made smaller than the height of the air inlet 212 relative to the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 211. This allows the air in the receiving cavity 211 to circulate rapidly in the vertical direction, which is beneficial to promote the rapid mixing of cold and hot air in the receiving cavity 211, thereby improving the temperature regulation efficiency in the receiving cavity 211.

[0065] This application also provides a temperature control system 2. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the temperature control system 2 includes a housing assembly 20. The specific structure of the housing assembly 20 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the temperature control system 2 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0066] In some embodiments, the temperature control system 2 may further include a vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 and a controller 30. The controller 30 is configured to selectively turn on or off the first pipe 23 of the housing assembly 20 to open or close the first ventilation channel, that is, to connect or close the air inlet 212 of the housing 20 to the temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40. When the controller 30 controls the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 to form the first ventilation channel, the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 can cool or heat the receiving cavity 211. This improves the automation level of the temperature control system 2 and makes its use more convenient.

[0067] When the controller 30 controls the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40 to cool or heat the housing 211 through the vehicle air conditioning component 40, the second pipe 22 can be shut off to prevent air from outside the vehicle 11 from entering the housing 211 of the box 21 through the outside air inlet 41 and the second pipe 22, thereby affecting the cooling or heating effect of the temperature regulating air duct 400 on the housing 211.

[0068] In addition, the controller 30 controls the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40. When the vehicle air conditioning component 40 cools or heats the cavity 211, the controller can control the return air pipe 24 to shut off, so as to prevent the air in the cavity 211 from flowing back to the cavity 211 through the return air pipe 24, which would affect the cooling or heating efficiency of the temperature regulating air duct 400 on the cavity 211.

[0069] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can also be configured to selectively turn on or off the second conduit 22 of the housing assembly 20 to open or close the second ventilation channel, that is, to open or close the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212. When the controller 30 controls the second conduit 22 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the housing 20 to form the second ventilation channel, ventilation can be provided to the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 of the housing assembly 20. This improves the automation level of the temperature control system 2, making its use more convenient.

[0070] When the controller 30 controls the second pipe 22 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the box 21 of the box assembly 20, the first pipe 23 can be shut off to prevent cold or hot air in the temperature regulating duct 400 from leaking into the receiving cavity 211 of the box 21 through the first pipe 23, thus affecting the cooling or heating effect on the passenger compartment 10.

[0071] In addition, when the controller 30 controls the second pipe 22 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the box 21 of the box assembly 20, the return air pipe 24 can be shut off to prevent the air in the receiving cavity 211 of the box 21 from flowing back through the return air pipe 24 and affecting the ventilation effect of the receiving cavity 211.

[0072] In some embodiments, the controller 30 may also be configured to selectively turn on or off the return air duct 24 of the enclosure assembly 20, so that the return air duct 24 can recirculate or stop the recirculation of air within the receiving cavity 211 of the enclosure 21. This improves the automation level of the temperature control system 2, making its use more convenient.

[0073] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to activate the second duct 22 and deactivate the first duct 23 and the return air duct 24 when both the passenger compartment 10 and the housing cavity 211 of the enclosure 21 are ventilated. This prevents air from flowing between the passenger compartment 10 and the housing cavity 211 via the first duct 23, or prevents air within the housing cavity 211 from circulating via the return air duct 24 when both are ventilated.

[0074] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to control the second duct 22 to open and the first duct 23 and return air duct 24 to close when the passenger compartment 10 is in cooling or heating mode and the housing cavity 211 of the enclosure 21 is ventilated. This enables separate ventilation of the housing cavity 211 of the enclosure 21 while the passenger compartment 10 is being cooled or heated.

[0075] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to control the first pipe 23 to open and the second pipe 22 and return air pipe 24 to close when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, the temperature difference to be adjusted in the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, and the cooling / heating unit 27 is not cooling or heating the receiving cavity 211. Thus, the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 can simultaneously cool or heat the passenger compartment 10 and the receiving cavity 211.

[0076] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to control the first pipe 23 to open and the second pipe 22 and return air pipe 24 to close when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, the temperature difference to be adjusted in the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 is greater than a second preset threshold, and the cooling / heating unit 27 is not cooling or heating the receiving cavity 211. Thus, when the cooling or heating demand of the passenger compartment 10 is low and the cooling or heating demand of the receiving cavity 211 is high, the vehicle air conditioning unit 40 can simultaneously cool or heat the passenger compartment 10 and the receiving cavity 211.

[0077] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to shut off the second pipe 22 and the first pipe 23 and open the return air pipe 24 when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, the temperature difference to be adjusted in the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 is greater than a second preset threshold, and the cooling / heating unit 27 is cooling or heating the receiving cavity 211. Thus, when the cooling or heating demand of the passenger compartment 10 is small, but the cooling or heating demand of the receiving cavity 211 is large, the passenger compartment 10 can be cooled or heated by the vehicle air conditioning unit 40. Simultaneously, the receiving cavity 211 can be quickly cooled or heated by the cooling / heating unit 27.

[0078] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to shut off the second pipe 22 and the first pipe 23, and to open the return air pipe 24, when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is greater than a first preset threshold and the temperature difference to be adjusted in the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 is greater than a second preset threshold. Thus, when the cooling or heating demand of the passenger compartment 10 and the receiving cavity 211 is high, the passenger compartment 10 can be cooled or heated by the vehicle air conditioning unit 40. Simultaneously, the receiving cavity 211 can be quickly cooled or heated by the cooling / heating unit 27.

[0079] The following provides a detailed description of the various operating conditions of temperature control system 2.

[0080] In some embodiments, the controller 30 may be configured to connect the first pipe 23 to the temperature regulating duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to a first preset threshold and the temperature difference to be adjusted in the cavity 211 is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, so as to cool or heat the cavity 211 through the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40. Therefore, when cooling or heating the cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40, the impact on the cooling or heating of the passenger compartment 10 is minimal, and the energy consumption for cooling or heating within the cavity 211 is low.

[0081] It should be noted that the first and second preset thresholds can be predetermined thresholds or thresholds determined by the vehicle 1 based on its environment. When the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the passenger compartment 10 does not require cooling or heating, or that the passenger compartment 10 has a low demand for cooling or heating. When the temperature difference to be adjusted in the receiving cavity 211 is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, it indicates that the cooling or heating demand in the receiving cavity 211 of the box 21 is low. Under these conditions, by controlling the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40, the receiving cavity 211 is cooled or heated by the vehicle air conditioning component 40, which has a small impact on the cooling or heating of the passenger compartment 10 and low energy consumption for cooling or heating in the receiving cavity 211.

[0082] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can be configured to, when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, and the temperature difference to be adjusted in the cavity 211 is less than or equal to a third preset threshold, first control the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40, so as to cool or heat the cavity 211 through the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40. Then, control the first pipe 23 to be turned off, and control the cooling / heating device 27 of the housing assembly 20 to cool or heat the cavity 211. Thus, the energy-efficient vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 can be used first to cool or heat the cavity 211 of the housing 21, and then the energy-efficient cooling / heating device 27 can be used to cool or heat the cavity 211, achieving rapid temperature adjustment of the cavity 211 while reducing energy consumption.

[0083] Understandably, when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it indicates that the passenger compartment 10 has a low demand for cooling or heating. However, when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the receiving cavity 211 is less than or equal to the third preset threshold, it indicates that the demand for cooling or heating in the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 is high. Under these conditions, the controller 30 first controls the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40, so that the vehicle air conditioning component 40 can cool or heat the receiving cavity 211. This has a minimal impact on the cooling or heating of the passenger compartment 10 and low energy consumption for cooling or heating in the receiving cavity 211. Then, the first pipe 23 is shut off, and the cooling / heating device 27 of the housing component 20 is controlled to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211, enabling rapid temperature adjustment of the receiving cavity 211.

[0084] It should be noted that the third preset threshold can be a pre-determined threshold or a threshold determined by vehicle 1 based on its environment. The third preset threshold can be equal to or different from the second preset threshold. Controller 30 can first control the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating duct 400 and air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40, so that the vehicle air conditioning component 40 can cool or heat the receiving cavity 211, causing the temperature inside the receiving cavity 211 of the box 21 to reach a preset temperature or decrease or increase by a preset value. Then, controller 30 controls the first pipe 23 to be shut off, and controls the cooling / heating device 27 of the box component 20 to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211. Alternatively, the controller 30 can first control the first pipe 23 to connect the temperature regulating air duct 400 and the air inlet 212 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40, so that the vehicle air conditioning component 40 can cool or heat the receiving cavity 211 for a preset time, and then control the first pipe 23 to be turned off, and control the cooling or heating device 27 of the housing component 20 to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211.

[0085] In some embodiments, the controller 30 may be configured to shut off the first pipe 23 when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is greater than or equal to a fourth preset threshold. This prevents cold or hot air from flowing into the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first pipe 23 when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is large, thereby improving the temperature regulation efficiency of the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 in the passenger compartment 10 and prioritizing the temperature regulation efficiency of the passenger compartment 10.

[0086] It is understandable that when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is greater than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, it indicates that the cooling or heating demand of the passenger compartment 10 is high. By controlling the first pipeline 23 to shut off by the controller 30, the hot or cold air in the temperature regulating duct 400 can enter the passenger compartment 10 as much as possible for cooling or heating, thereby improving the efficiency of cooling or heating the passenger compartment 10 and prioritizing the comfort of the passenger compartment 10 environment.

[0087] The fourth preset threshold can be a pre-determined threshold or a threshold determined by vehicle 1 based on its environment. The fourth preset threshold can be equal to or different from the first preset threshold, depending on the actual situation.

[0088] In some embodiments, when the temperature regulating duct 400 is connected to the external air inlet 41 to ventilate the passenger compartment 10, the controller 30 can also be configured to shut off the first duct 23. This prevents outside air from entering the housing 211 of the enclosure 21 through the temperature regulating duct 400 and the first duct 23 when the passenger compartment 10 is ventilated, thus avoiding any impact on the cooling or heating efficiency of the housing 211.

[0089] In some embodiments, the controller 30 may be configured to control the cooling / heating unit 27 of the housing assembly 20 to cool or heat the housing 211 when the temperature difference to be adjusted within the housing 211 is greater than or equal to a fifth preset threshold. This improves the cooling or heating efficiency of the housing 211 within the housing 21.

[0090] It is understandable that when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the cavity 211 is greater than or equal to the fifth preset threshold, it indicates that the cooling or heating demand in the cavity 211 is high. By having the controller 30 control the cooling and heating device 27 to cool or heat the cavity 211, the cavity 211 can be cooled or heated quickly, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the cavity 211.

[0091] The fifth preset threshold can be a pre-determined threshold or a threshold determined by the vehicle 1 based on its environment. The fifth preset threshold can be equal to or different from the second and third preset thresholds, depending on the specific circumstances. In some embodiments, the fifth preset threshold can be greater than the second and third preset thresholds; that is, when the cooling or heating demand in the cavity 211 is particularly high, the cooling / heating unit 27 can be directly activated to cool or heat the cavity 211.

[0092] In some embodiments, when the cooling / heating unit 27 is cooling or heating the receiving cavity 211, the controller 30 can be configured to shut off the second pipe 22 and the first pipe 23. This prevents cold or hot air from outside the vehicle 11 and from flowing into the receiving cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first pipe 23, thus avoiding any impact on the cooling or heating efficiency of the receiving cavity 211.

[0093] Understandably, when the heater / cooler 27 is cooling or heating the cavity 211, if the second pipe 22 is open, air from outside the vehicle 11 will flow into the cavity 211 of the body 21 through the second pipe 22, causing an increase in air pressure inside the cavity 211. This will force some of the cold or hot air generated by the heater / cooler 27 inside the cavity 211 to be discharged through the external exhaust vent 213, affecting the cooling / heating efficiency of the heater / cooler 27 in the cavity 211. Simultaneously, the air from outside the vehicle 11 entering the cavity 211 will also regulate the temperature inside the cavity 211, further reducing the cooling / heating efficiency of the heater / cooler 27 in the cavity 211.

[0094] In addition, when the refrigeration and heating unit 27 is cooling or heating the receiving cavity 211, if the first pipe 23 is open, the cold or hot air in the temperature regulating air duct 400 will flow into the receiving cavity 211 of the box 21 through the first pipe 23, which will increase the air pressure in the receiving cavity 211. This will cause some of the cold or hot air generated by the refrigeration and heating unit 27 in the receiving cavity 211 to be discharged through the vehicle exhaust vent 213, affecting the cooling and heating efficiency of the refrigeration and heating unit 27 in the receiving cavity 211.

[0095] In some embodiments, when the cooling / heating unit 27 cools or heats the housing cavity 211, the controller 30 can be configured to control the opening of the return air duct 24 of the housing assembly 20 so that the air in the housing cavity 211 flows back to the housing cavity 211 after passing through the return air duct 24.

[0096] Therefore, the air inside the container can be circulated through the return air duct 24, so that the cold or hot air generated by the cooling or heating device 27 in the container cavity 211 can be dispersed more quickly in the container cavity 211, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the container cavity 211.

[0097] When the controller 30 controls the return air duct 24 of the housing assembly 20 to be turned on, it can control the second duct 22 and the first duct 23 to be turned off, so as to prevent the cold or hot air from outside the vehicle 11 and the temperature regulating air duct 400 from flowing into the housing cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first duct 23, thereby affecting the cooling or heating efficiency of the housing cavity 211.

[0098] In some embodiments, when the temperature outside the vehicle 11 is lower than the temperature inside the cavity 211, and the temperature difference between the outside temperature 11 and the cavity 211 is greater than or equal to a sixth preset threshold, the controller 30 can be configured to first control the second pipe 22 to connect the outside air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the housing 21 of the housing assembly 20 to ventilate the cavity 211, and then control the cooling / heating unit 27 to cool the cavity 211. Thus, the outside air 11 can be used to ventilate the cavity 211 of the housing 21 to quickly reduce the temperature inside the cavity 211. Then, the temperature-regulating air duct 400 or the cooling / heating unit 27 can be used to further cool the cavity 211, which improves the cooling efficiency of the cavity 211 and reduces energy consumption.

[0099] Understandably, when the temperature outside the vehicle 11 is lower than the temperature inside the cavity 211, and the temperature difference between the outside 11 and the cavity 211 is greater than or equal to the sixth preset threshold, it indicates that the vehicle 1 has been exposed to direct sunlight, or that the vehicle 1 has entered a low-temperature environment. Before the cooling / heating device 27 cools the cavity 211, the second pipe 22 is connected to the outside air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the housing 21 of the housing assembly 20 to ventilate the cavity 211. With low energy consumption, this replaces the high-temperature air inside the cavity 211 with the low-temperature air from outside the vehicle 11, thus achieving gas exchange and cooling. Afterwards, the cavity 211 can be cooled a second time via the temperature regulating duct 400 or the cooling / heating device 27.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle air conditioning component 40 may include a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) housing 45, which includes an evaporator, a heater core, a blower 47, a heat exchanger 48, etc., and is configured to cool or heat the air in the temperature regulating duct 400.

[0101] In some embodiments, the vehicle air conditioning assembly 40 includes an external air intake 422 and an internal air intake 421. The external air intake 422 is adapted to connect to a heat exchanger 48 to form an internal air conditioning circulation channel. The internal air intake 421 is adapted to connect to an external air intake to form an external air conditioning circulation channel.

[0102] The temperature control mode of temperature control system 2 will be described in detail below.

[0103] Figure 7 This is a control logic diagram of a temperature regulation system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, when both the trunk and passenger compartment 10 are under natural ventilation, the air vent 42 opens, connecting the external air intake 41 with the external circulation air intake 422 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40. The controller 30 controls the second control valve 221 to open, the first control valve 231 to close, and controls the fan 26 to run. This draws a portion of the air entering the external air intake 41 into the receiving cavity 211 of the trunk 21 through the second pipe 22, while the air in the receiving cavity 211 of the trunk 21 is exhausted through the external exhaust vent 213, thus achieving ventilation of the receiving cavity 211. Another portion of the air entering the external air intake 41 enters the passenger compartment 10 through the temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40, thereby ventilating the passenger compartment 10.

[0104] When the housing 21 is in natural ventilation and the passenger compartment 10 is in cooling / heating mode, the second control valve 221 is opened, the first control valve 231 is closed, and the fan 26 is running. This allows a portion of the air entering the external air intake 41 to be drawn into the housing 211 of the housing 21 through the second pipe 22. The air in the housing 211 of the housing 21 is then discharged through the external exhaust vent 213, thus achieving ventilation of the housing 211.

[0105] At the same time, the damper 42 switches to the position where the internal circulation air inlet 421 connects with the passenger compartment 10. The temperature regulating air duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40 absorbs air from the passenger compartment 10 for cooling or heating and then discharges it back into the passenger compartment 10, thereby realizing the internal circulation cooling or heating of the passenger compartment 10.

[0106] Alternatively, the damper 42 can be switched to a position where the external air intake 422 connects with the external air intake 41, so that the air from outside the vehicle 11 enters the temperature regulating air duct 400 of the vehicle air conditioning component 40 from the external air intake 41 and is cooled or heated before being discharged to the passenger compartment 10. The air in the passenger compartment 10 can be discharged to outside the vehicle 11 through the second pressure relief valve 46, thereby realizing external air circulation cooling or heating of the passenger compartment 10.

[0107] When both the housing 21 and the passenger compartment 10 require temperature adjustment, and the temperature adjustment requirement of the housing 21 is relatively small (e.g., the temperature difference to be adjusted in the cavity 211 is less than or equal to the second preset threshold), and the temperature adjustment requirement of the passenger compartment 10 is also relatively small (e.g., the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to the first preset threshold), the second control valve 221 can be closed, the first control valve 231 can be opened, the fan 26 can be turned on, and the vehicle air conditioning component 40 can perform cooling or heating. At this time, the vehicle air conditioning component 40 can provide cold or hot air to the passenger compartment 10 through the temperature regulating duct 400 to cool or heat the passenger compartment 10. Simultaneously, a portion of the cold or hot air in the temperature regulating duct 400 can enter the cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first pipe 23 to cool or heat the cavity 211 of the housing 21. At this time, excess air in the cavity 211 of the housing 21 is discharged through the exhaust port 11 outside the vehicle.

[0108] The damper 42 can be switched to a position where the internal air intake 421 connects to the passenger compartment 10, allowing the temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle's air conditioning component 40 to draw air from the passenger compartment 10 for cooling or heating before releasing it back into the passenger compartment 10, thus achieving internal air circulation cooling or heating in the passenger compartment 10. Alternatively, the damper 42 can be switched to a position where the external air intake 422 connects to the external air intake 41, allowing air from outside the vehicle 11 to enter the temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle's air conditioning component 40 from the external air intake 41, be cooled or heated, and then discharged into the passenger compartment 10. The air inside the passenger compartment 10 can be discharged to outside the vehicle 11 through the second pressure relief valve 46, achieving external air circulation cooling or heating in the passenger compartment 10.

[0109] When both the housing 21 and the passenger compartment 10 require temperature regulation, and the temperature regulation requirement of the housing 21 is relatively large (e.g., the temperature difference to be regulated in the cavity 211 is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold), while the temperature regulation requirement of the passenger compartment 10 is relatively small (e.g., the temperature difference to be regulated in the passenger compartment 10 is less than or equal to a first preset threshold), the second control valve 221 can be closed first, the first control valve 231 opened, and the fan 26 turned on, and the vehicle air conditioning unit 40 performs cooling or heating, allowing the cold or hot air in the temperature regulating duct 400 to enter the cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the first pipe 23 to cool or heat the cavity 211. Then, the first control valve 231 is closed, and the cooling / heating unit 27 is controlled to cool or heat the cavity 211 of the housing 21.

[0110] The damper 42 can be switched to a position where the internal air intake 421 connects to the passenger compartment 10, allowing the temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle's air conditioning component 40 to draw air from the passenger compartment 10 for cooling or heating before releasing it back into the passenger compartment 10, thus achieving internal air circulation cooling or heating in the passenger compartment 10. Alternatively, the damper 42 can be switched to a position where the external air intake 422 connects to the external air intake 41, allowing air from outside the vehicle 11 to enter the temperature regulating duct 400 of the vehicle's air conditioning component 40 from the external air intake 41, be cooled or heated, and then discharged into the passenger compartment 10. The air inside the passenger compartment 10 can be discharged to outside the vehicle 11 through the second pressure relief valve 46, achieving external air circulation cooling or heating in the passenger compartment 10.

[0111] When the passenger compartment 10 requires temperature adjustment, and the temperature adjustment demand of the passenger compartment 10 is relatively large, such as when the temperature difference to be adjusted in the passenger compartment 10 is greater than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, the first pipe 23 can be shut off to allow the cold or hot air in the temperature regulating duct 400 to enter the passenger compartment 10 as much as possible, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the passenger compartment 10. The temperature adjustment demand in the receiving cavity 211 can be small or large, and can be achieved by opening the second pipe 22 and introducing outside air 11, or by turning on the cooling / heating device 27 to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211.

[0112] Furthermore, when the receiving cavity 211 of the cabinet 21 requires temperature adjustment, and the temperature adjustment requirement of the receiving cavity 211 is particularly large, such as when the temperature difference to be adjusted within the receiving cavity 211 is greater than or equal to a fifth preset threshold, the cooling / heating unit 27 of the cabinet assembly 20 can be controlled to cool or heat the receiving cavity 211. Specifically, the first pipe 23 can be controlled to shut off to further improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the cooling / heating unit 27 on the receiving cavity 211.

[0113] Specifically, when both the housing 21 and the passenger compartment 10 require temperature regulation, and the temperature regulation requirement of the housing 21 is relatively large (e.g., the temperature difference to be regulated in the cavity 211 is greater than or equal to the fifth preset threshold), and the temperature regulation requirement of the passenger compartment 10 is also relatively large (e.g., the temperature difference to be regulated in the passenger compartment 10 is greater than or equal to the fourth preset threshold), the first pipe 23 can be shut off, and the fan 26 and the cooling / heating device 27 can be turned on, thereby cooling or heating the driver's cabin through the vehicle air conditioning component 40, and cooling or heating the cavity 211 of the housing 21 through the cooling / heating device 27.

[0114] Specifically, the second pipe 22 can be shut off and the return air pipe 24 can be opened to prevent air from outside the vehicle 11 from entering the receiving cavity 211 through the second pipe 22 and to promote air circulation in the receiving cavity 211, so as to further improve the cooling or heating efficiency of the receiving cavity 211.

[0115] Under high-temperature and direct sunlight conditions in summer, both the enclosure 21 and the passenger compartment 10 require rapid cooling. For example, if the temperature outside the vehicle 11 is lower than the temperature inside the cavity 211, and the temperature difference between the outside and inside the cavity 211 is greater than or equal to a sixth preset threshold, and the user selects the energy-saving mode, before controlling the cooling / heating device 27 to cool or heat the cavity 211 of the enclosure 21, the second pipe 22 can be connected to the outside air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the enclosure 21 of the enclosure assembly 20, and the fan 26 can be turned on to ventilate and cool the cavity 211. Then, the cooling / heating device 27 is controlled to cool the cavity 211.

[0116] When controlling the second pipe 22 to connect the external air inlet 41 and the air inlet 212 of the box 21 of the box assembly 20, the first pipe 23 and the return air pipe 24 can be turned on or off. Before controlling the refrigeration and heating unit 27 to cool the receiving cavity 211, the second pipe 22 and the first pipe 23 can be turned off, and the return air pipe 24 can be turned on.
