[0034] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle-mounted drying device and the vehicle provided by the utility model are now described. The vehicle-mounted drying device includes a drying box 5, an engine cooling circulation pipe 2 and a battery cooling circulation pipe 4; the engine cooling circulation pipe 2 has a cooling part located in the engine 1 and a drying part located in the drying box 5; the battery cooling circulation pipe 4 has a cooling part located in the battery 3 and a drying part located in the drying box 5.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle-mounted drying device provided by the utility model utilizes the heat generated by the operation of the engine 1 and the heat generated by the operation of the battery 3 to provide heat energy in the drying box 5. The coolant in the engine cooling circulation pipe 2 exchanges heat with the heat generated by the engine 1 in the cooling part, flows along the engine cooling circulation pipe 2 to the drying part after the temperature rises, exchanges heat with the clothes in the drying box 5 in the drying part, so that the temperature of the wet clothes rises and the water evaporates. The coolant in the battery cooling circulation pipe 4 exchanges heat with the heat generated by the battery 3 in the cooling part, flows along the battery cooling circulation pipe 4 to the drying part after the temperature rises, exchanges heat with the wet clothes in the drying box 5 in the drying part, so that the water on the clothes evaporates at high temperature, achieving the drying effect. The utility model utilizes the heat generated by the operation of the engine 1 and the battery 3 during the vehicle's travel to dry the clothes, not only does it not require external electric energy to drive the dryer to work, but it can also further reduce the heat of the engine 1 and the battery 3 by heat exchange, realizes energy recycling, and improves the cooling effect of the engine 1 and the battery 3.

[0036] It should be noted that “upstream” and “downstream” are based on the flow direction of the coolant.

[0037] Optionally, the drying section and the drying section are respectively located on opposite sides of the drying box 5 to evenly dry the clothes in the drying box 5 .

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The vehicle-mounted drying equipment also includes a cooler 11, the engine cooling circulation pipe 2 has a first heat dissipation part located in the cooler 11, and the first heat dissipation part is located downstream of the drying part; the battery cooling circulation pipe 4 has a second heat dissipation part located in the cooler 11, and the second heat dissipation part is located downstream of the drying part.

[0039] When the coolant in the engine cooling circulation pipe 2 flows to the drying section, it exchanges heat with the clothes in the drying box 5. When the coolant in the battery cooling circulation pipe 4 flows to the drying section, it exchanges heat with the clothes in the drying box 5, and then is discharged from the drying box 5 respectively. However, since the temperature of the coolant flowing out of the drying box 5 is still relatively high, the cooling effect cannot be achieved. Therefore, the coolant flowing through the drying section enters the first heat dissipation section, and the coolant flowing through the drying section enters the second heat dissipation section, and then after being cooled in the cooler 11, it flows back to the cooling section and the cooling section respectively, so as to achieve cooling and cooling of the engine 1 and the battery 3. In this embodiment, the cooler 11 is provided to cool the coolant flowing out of the drying box 5, so as to avoid the high-temperature coolant from being unable to cool the battery 3 or the engine 1 after the reflux, resulting in the battery 3 or the engine 1 having an excessively high temperature that affects normal operation.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The vehicle-mounted drying equipment also includes a heat exchanger 6, a first circulation branch pipe 7, a second circulation branch pipe 8 and a gas drying pipe 9; the first circulation branch pipe 7 is connected to the engine cooling circulation pipe 2, and has a first heating part located in the heat exchanger 6; the second circulation branch pipe 8 is connected to the battery cooling circulation pipe 4, and has a second heating part located in the heat exchanger 6; one end of the gas drying pipe 9 is connected to the external air, and the other end is connected to the drying box 5, and the gas drying pipe 9 has a heat exchange part located in the heat exchanger 6.

[0041] After passing through the cooling part, part of the coolant enters the drying part along the engine cooling circulation pipe 2, and the other part flows into the first heating part along the first circulation branch pipe 7; after passing through the cooling part, part of the coolant enters the cooling part along the battery cooling circulation pipe 4, and the other part enters the second heating part along the second circulation pipe. The coolant in the first heating part and the second heating part exchanges heat with the air in the heat exchange part in the heat exchanger 6, so that the air temperature in the heat exchange part increases, and the high-temperature air enters the drying box 5 to take away the water vapor on the surface of the clothes, thereby achieving drying.

[0042] Optionally, the drying box 5 has an air outlet connected to the outside, and the high-temperature gas in the gas drying tube 9 is discharged from the air outlet after exchanging heat with the clothes in the drying box 5, thereby realizing air circulation.

[0043] Optionally, the drying box 5 is provided with a fan, which creates negative pressure in the drying box 5, thereby delivering external air into the drying box 5 along the gas drying pipe 9. The fan can be connected to the control system in the vehicle body, and the fan can be started or shut down by the control system.

[0044] Optionally, the gas drying tube 9 is connected to the air inlet duct of the engine, and part of the airflow in the air inlet duct is introduced into the drying box. This embodiment uses the airflow in the engine for drying, and there is no need to set up a separate power system to introduce external airflow into the gas drying tube 9. A turbocharger can be used to introduce external air into the air inlet duct of the engine.

[0045] In some embodiments, not shown in the figures, the vehicle-mounted drying equipment further includes a first switching valve provided in the first circulation branch pipe 7 , and a second switching valve provided in the second circulation branch pipe 8 .

[0046] The first switching valve controls the circulation of the first circulation branch pipe 7, and the second switching valve controls the circulation of the second circulation pipe. When there are fewer clothes in the drying box 5, or the clothes are not particularly wet, the first switching valve and / or the second switching valve can be kept closed, which can save heat energy on the one hand and prevent the clothes from being damaged by excessive temperature on the other hand. The solution in this embodiment can freely and flexibly control whether to introduce high-temperature gas into the drying box 5 for drying, and the operation is more convenient.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The vehicle-mounted drying equipment also includes an air filter 10 connected to the air inlet end of the gas drying pipe 9, and the air filter 10 filters impurities in the air.

[0048] The air filter 10 filters impurities such as particulate matter in the air, and then the air enters the drying box 5 along the gas drying pipe 9, thereby preventing the clothes from being contaminated when a large amount of particulate matter impurities are mixed in the external air.

[0049] Optionally, the gas drying tube 9 is connected to the air inlet duct of the engine, and the filter of the engine acts as an air filter to filter the external air, and then the air enters the gas drying tube 9 along the air inlet duct. This embodiment does not need to set up an additional air filter 9, simplifies the structure, and saves costs.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The vehicle-mounted drying equipment also includes a regulating valve 12 arranged on the gas drying pipe 9, and the regulating valve 12 is located upstream of the heat exchange part.

[0051] The size of the airflow in the gas drying tube 9 can be controlled by the regulating valve 12, and whether an airflow passage is formed in the gas drying tube 9 can be controlled to realize whether the clothes in the drying box 5 are dried by the high-temperature airflow, which is convenient for regulation and control and increases the drying gear. For clothes made of special fabrics, excessively high temperatures may cause damage to the clothes. At this time, the gas drying tube 9 can be closed to prevent high-temperature air from entering the drying box 5.

[0052] Optionally, the regulating valve 12 is communicatively connected to a control system in the vehicle body, and the opening or closing of the solenoid valve is controlled by the control system in the vehicle.

[0053] Optionally, the gas drying pipe 9 is provided with an air pump for allowing air to enter the drying box 5 along the gas drying pipe 9 .

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The vehicle-mounted drying equipment also includes a water collecting component 13 connected to the drying box 5 , and the water collecting component 13 includes a water delivery pipe 1301 connected to the drying box 5 , and the water delivery pipe 1301 discharges the liquid water in the drying box 5 .

[0055] During the drying process of clothes, the water attached to the surface of the clothes evaporates, and after the drying is completed, the clothes are taken out and the heat supply to the drying box 5 is stopped. As the temperature decreases, the water vapor in the drying box 5 cools and condenses into liquid water, which is then discharged from the drying box 5 along the water pipe 1301, avoiding the accumulation of liquid water in the drying box 5 and affecting the service life.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The water collection component 13 also includes a water collection box 1302 and a switch valve 1303. The water collection box 1302 is provided with a water inlet and a drain. The water pipe 1301 is inserted into the water inlet; the switch valve 1303 is provided at the drain.

[0057] Liquid water enters the water collecting tank 1302 along the water delivery pipe 1301 and is stored in the water collecting tank 1302. The liquid water in the water collecting tank 1302 can be discharged from the water collecting tank 1302 by opening the switch valve 1303. The scheme in this embodiment can prevent the water in the drying box 5 from being discharged at will to affect the environment inside the vehicle or the external environment, and discharge it in a centralized manner at an appropriate time.

[0058] In some embodiments, not shown in the figure, the water collection component 13 also includes a liquid level detector arranged in the water collection box 1302, and the liquid level detector and the switch valve 1303 are respectively connected to the controller for communication.

[0059] When the liquid level detector detects that the liquid level in the water collecting tank 1302 reaches the highest preset value, a discharge signal is generated, and the controller controls the switch valve 1303 to open according to the discharge signal to discharge the liquid water in the water collecting tank 1302. When the liquid level detector detects that the water level in the water collecting tank 1302 reaches the lowest preset value, a closing signal is generated, and the controller controls the switch valve 1303 to close according to the closing signal. The scheme in this embodiment can automatically realize the opening or closing of the switch valve 1303, so as to prevent the water level in the water collecting tank 1302 from being too high and flowing back into the drying box 5.

[0060] Optionally, the water collection component 13 also includes an alarm connected to the controller. When the liquid level detector detects that the liquid level in the water collection tank 1302 reaches the warning preset value, a warning signal is generated. The controller controls the alarm to send a sound wave and / or light wave alarm signal according to the warning signal to prompt the operator that the water level in the water collection tank 1302 has reached the warning water level. The operator can choose an appropriate time to drain the water manually, or ignore the alarm signal and wait for the water level to reach the highest preset value to drain the water automatically.

[0061] Optionally, the controller can be set up separately, or a free controller in the vehicle body can be used to achieve systematic control with other electronic components in the vehicle body.

[0062] Based on the same inventive concept, the utility model also provides a vehicle, which includes any one of the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted drying devices.

[0063] The vehicle provided by the utility model adopts the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted drying equipment, and uses the heat generated by the operation of the engine 1 and the heat generated by the operation of the battery 3 to provide heat energy in the drying box 5. The coolant in the engine cooling circulation pipe 2 exchanges heat with the heat generated by the engine 1 in the cooling part, flows along the engine cooling circulation pipe 2 to the drying part after the temperature rises, and exchanges heat with the clothes in the drying box 5 in the drying part, so that the temperature of the wet clothes rises and the water evaporates. The coolant in the battery cooling circulation pipe 4 exchanges heat with the heat generated by the battery 3 in the cooling part, flows along the battery cooling circulation pipe 4 to the drying part after the temperature rises, and exchanges heat with the wet clothes in the drying box 5 in the drying part, so that the water on the clothes evaporates at high temperature, achieving the drying effect. The utility model uses the heat generated by the operation of the engine 1 and the battery 3 during the vehicle's travel to dry the clothes, not only does it not require external electric energy to drive the dryer to work, but it can also further reduce the heat of the engine 1 and the battery 3 by heat exchange, realizing energy recycling and improving the cooling effect of the engine 1 and the battery 3.
