[0038] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0039] The present embodiment relates to an air intake structure of a vehicle air conditioner, comprising a water trough provided below a ventilation cover plate 1, and a blocking member P provided in the water trough. The blocking member P divides the water trough into a front trough body N and a rear trough body M which are sequentially provided along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the front trough body N is connected to the ventilation hole 101 on the ventilation cover plate 1, and the rear trough body M has a connecting port Q connected to the air inlet of the air conditioner. The blocking member P is provided with a through hole connecting the front trough body N and the rear trough body M, and / or a through hole connecting the front trough body N and the rear trough body M is formed between the blocking member P and the ventilation cover plate 1.
[0040] The vehicle air-conditioning air intake structure of this embodiment is provided with a blocking member in the water flow channel, which divides the water flow channel into a front channel body N and a rear channel body M. The outside air first enters the front channel body N through the ventilation hole 101 on the ventilation cover plate 1, then enters the rear channel body M through the through hole, and then enters the air inlet through the connecting port Q. Not only can the air intake effect be guaranteed, but rainwater will not directly enter the rear channel body M, thereby preventing rainwater from splashing in the rear channel body M and entering the air inlet of the air conditioner, which can effectively ensure the normal operation of the air conditioner.
[0041] Based on the above overall introduction, an exemplary structure of the vehicle air conditioning air intake structure of this embodiment is referred to as Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , the same as the prior art is that the ventilation cover 1 is located in front of the front windshield and below the engine hood, and covers the water gutter of the vehicle body. In addition, in order to provide outside air to the air conditioner, ventilation holes 101 are provided on the ventilation cover 1, and the ventilation holes 101 are generally multiple. In this embodiment, in order to prevent rainwater entering through the ventilation holes 101 from entering the air inlet of the air conditioner, the ventilation holes 101 are preferably arranged at the front end of the ventilation cover 1. In addition, the structure of the water gutter and the connection structure between the connecting port Q and the air inlet of the air conditioner can refer to the existing structure. In addition, in order to facilitate the timely discharge of rainwater in the water gutter, in this embodiment, drainage ports are provided on the front tank body N and the rear tank body M.
[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in , as a preferred embodiment, the blocking member P of this embodiment is a baffle plate provided in the water flow channel, and the baffle plate is extended in the left-right direction of the vehicle. In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the through holes are specifically provided on the baffle plate, and a plurality of through holes are provided at intervals along the height direction and / or width direction of the baffle plate.
[0043] In this embodiment, the blocking member P is a baffle plate arranged in the water flow channel, which has a simple structure and is easy to design and implement. The through hole is arranged on the baffle plate, so that the top of the baffle plate can be connected to the ventilation cover plate 1, which can improve the firmness of the baffle plate. The baffle plate is extended along the left and right directions of the vehicle, which is conducive to the arrangement of the drainage member 3 described below. The through holes are arranged in multiple intervals along the height direction and / or width direction of the baffle plate, which is conducive to meeting the air intake required by the air conditioner.
[0044] Among them, as a preferred embodiment, the through hole is a rectangular hole, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing. In addition, in order to further improve the air intake effect, the through hole is preferably arranged close to the connecting port Q. Moreover, as a specific embodiment, the through holes of this embodiment are arranged in two rows at intervals along the height direction of the baffle, and each row includes two through holes arranged at intervals along the length direction of the baffle.
[0045] It should be noted that, in specific implementation, the shape, number and arrangement of the through holes can be adjusted accordingly, for example, each through hole can be set as a round hole or other irregular shape. In addition, in addition to providing the above-mentioned through holes on the baffle, a groove can also be provided on the top of the baffle so that the baffle and the ventilation cover 1 form a through hole, or the above-mentioned through holes are provided on the baffle, and a groove that forms a through hole with the ventilation cover 1 is also provided on the baffle.
[0046] As a further embodiment, a driving unit is provided outside the water flow channel, and a drainage member 3 connected to the driving unit is provided inside the front tank body N and / or the rear tank body M. In addition, the driving unit can drive the drainage member 3 to slide along the left and right direction of the vehicle to push the water inside the front tank body N and / or the rear tank body M into their respective drainage ports. Figures 1 to 4 As shown in , as a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, drainage components 3 are provided in the front trough body N and the rear trough body M. With such a configuration, the drainage components 3 can slide left and right, thereby facilitating the rapid discharge of rainwater in the front trough body N and the rear trough body M into the drain port, thereby preventing excessive air humidity from entering the air conditioner.
[0047] At this time, in order to facilitate the discharge of rainwater in the front tank N and the rear tank M outside the vehicle, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in , as a preferred embodiment, a drain pipe 5 is provided at both the left and right ends of the water flow channel. Moreover, the drain pipe 5 has a branch pipe connected to the front tank body N and the rear tank body M one by one, and the branch pipe is specifically two. Of course, in addition to providing the drain pipe 5 at both ends of the water flow channel, the drain pipe 5 can also be provided only at the left or right end of the water flow channel. In addition, in addition to providing a drain pipe 5 with two branches, two drain pipes 5 that are provided one by one corresponding to the front tank body N and the rear tank body M and do not have branches can also be provided.
[0048] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in , as a preferred embodiment, the driving part of this embodiment includes a driving motor, a cylinder 4 and a pull wire 2 arranged on the left and right sides of the water flow trough, and the cylinder 4 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor, one end of the pull wire 2 is wound on the cylinder 4, and the other end is connected to the drainage member 3. Among them, the driving motor adopts a motor that can output rotational power (not shown in the figure), which can be specifically installed in the cabin. Therefore, the rotation of the two driving motors can drive the cylinders 4 at the left and right ends to rotate simultaneously, so that the cylinder 4 at one end is wound with the pull wire 2, and drives the drainage member 3 to move left and right, and at the same time, the cylinder 4 at the other end releases the pull wire 2.
[0049] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, Figures 3 to 5 As shown in , a drainage member 3 is provided in both the front tank body N and the rear tank body M. At the same time, the cylinder body 4 extends from the front end of the front tank body N to the rear end of the rear tank body M, and the front and rear ends of each drainage member 3 are connected to the cylinder body 4 through a pull wire 2. In other words, a pull wire 2 is provided on both sides of the left and right ends of the front and rear ends of each drainage member 3, and each side pull wire 2 corresponds to the cylinder body 4 on the corresponding side, and the drainage members 3 in the front tank body N and the rear tank body M are driven by the same driving motor. Such an arrangement can not only improve the sliding smoothness of the drainage member 3, but also save costs and facilitate the arrangement of the driving motor. In addition, in order to improve the drainage effect, in a specific implementation, the bottom of the drainage member 3 abuts against the bottom of each tank body.
[0050] It is understandable that, in addition to using the same drive motor to drive the drainage components 3 in the front tank body N and the rear tank body M, of course, the drainage components 3 in the front tank body N and the rear tank body M can also be driven by different drive motors respectively.
[0051] In this embodiment, based on the structure of the front tank body N and the rear tank body M, as a preferred embodiment, the drainage member 3 is extended along the front and rear sides of the vehicle. As another preferred embodiment, the drainage member 3 is a drainage block made of sponge or rubber. This structure can not only prevent the drainage member 3 from colliding with the wall of the water flow tank when sliding and causing abnormal noise, but also can have a good cleaning effect on the bottom of the water flow tank.
[0052] It should be noted that the drainage member 3 may be arranged in a direction that is angled with the front and rear direction of the vehicle in addition to being extended along the front and rear direction of the vehicle. In addition, the drainage member 3 may be connected to the pull wire 2 directly or through a pull rod, in which case the drainage block may be fixedly connected to the pull rod, so that the pull wire 2 drives the pull rod and then drives the drainage member 3 to slide.
[0053] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the use effect, a humidity detection unit 7 is provided in both the front tank body N and the rear tank body M. The humidity detection unit 7 and the above-mentioned drive motor can be connected to the vehicle control unit, so that the vehicle control unit can control the start and stop of the drive motor through the detection parameters obtained by the humidity detection unit 7, so that the rainwater accumulated in the water flow trough can be discharged in time to prevent the air humidity entering the air conditioner from being too high. Among them, the humidity detection unit 7 specifically adopts the humidity sensor in the prior art. In addition, it should be noted that, in addition to the humidity detection unit 7 being provided in the front tank body N and / or the rear tank body M at the same time, the humidity detection unit 7 can also be provided only in the front tank body N or the rear tank body M.
[0054] In addition, as a further implementation, the vehicle air conditioning air intake structure of this embodiment further includes a water storage part storing water, and the water storage part is used to supply water to the front tank body N and / or the rear tank body M. The water storage part is specifically a water storage tank (not shown in the figure) provided on the vehicle body, which is connected to the front tank body N and the rear tank body M through a pipeline. And, to facilitate the connection, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a connecting pipe 6 connected to the water tank is provided on the front tank body N and the rear tank body M. At the same time, a solenoid valve connected to the vehicle control unit is provided at the outlet of the water tank to control the opening of the outlet and supply water to the front tank body N and the rear tank body M.
[0055] Moreover, in order to facilitate the replenishment of water into the water tank, the filling port of the water tank can be set at the ventilation cover 1. In order to further facilitate the supply of water to the front tank body N and the rear tank body M, a water pump is provided at the outlet of the water tank to pump the water in the water tank into the front tank body N and the rear tank body M. In this design, when the vehicle operation cycle is monitored to reach a predetermined number of times or the air quality sensor detects that the intake air is not clean, the water pump is controlled to operate, and the clean water pre-stored in the water tank is pumped into the front tank body N and the rear tank body M from the connecting pipe 6. Then, the drainage member 3 is driven by the driving motor to slide, so that the dust in the front tank body N and the rear tank body M can be cleaned.
[0056] In addition, when the humidity detection unit 7 detects that the air humidity is too low, water can be supplied to the front tank body N and the rear tank body M through the water storage tank, so as to humidify the intake air through the evaporation of clean water. Here, it should be noted that in addition to connecting both the front tank body N and the rear tank body M to the water storage tank, only the front tank body N or the rear tank body M can also be connected to the water storage tank.
[0057] The vehicle-mounted air intake structure of this embodiment, by adopting the above structure, can not only prevent raindrops from splashing into the air inlet of the air conditioner, but also prevent the air humidity entering the air inlet from being too high. Moreover, by replenishing water into the front tank body N and the rear tank body M through the water storage part, the air humidity entering the air inlet can be prevented from being too low. In addition, impurities in the front tank body N and the rear tank body M can be discharged through the drainage member 3, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the air inlet.
[0058] In addition, the present embodiment also relates to a vehicle, on which the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted air conditioning air intake structure is provided.
[0059] The vehicle of this embodiment has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned vehicle air conditioning air intake structure, which will not be described in detail here.
[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
