[0028] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a water receiving device 10 is applied to a vehicle, and the water receiving device 10 includes a water tank 1 and an air duct 2; wherein the water tank 1 has a water storage chamber 11, a drainage hole 12 and an exhaust hole 13; the water storage chamber 11 forms a water receiving port 14 on the water tank 1; the drainage hole 12 and the exhaust hole 13 both penetrate the cavity wall of the water storage chamber 11; the air duct 2 is arranged in the water storage chamber 11; the first end opening of the air duct 2 is located between the drainage hole 12 and the water receiving port 14; the second end opening of the air duct 2 is suitable for connecting to the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner from the exhaust hole 13.

[0030] In this embodiment, the air in the water chamber 11 needs to first enter the air duct 2, and then enter the air intake duct 20 of the air conditioner from the air duct 2. Compared with the design in the prior art that the air in the water chamber 11 directly enters the air intake duct 20 of the air conditioner, the arrangement of this embodiment can increase the flow path of the air in the water chamber 11 entering the air intake duct 20 of the air conditioner, thereby helping to reduce rainwater from entering the air intake duct 20 of the air conditioner.

[0031] The air duct 2 has a hollow cavity, which extends through the end surface of the first end and the end surface of the second end of the air duct 2. The first end opening of the air duct 2 refers to the opening formed by the hollow cavity on the end surface of the first end, and the second end opening of the air duct 2 refers to the opening formed by the hollow cavity on the end surface of the second end. When working, the air in the water chamber 11 can flow from the central control chamber to the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner.

[0032] “Both the drainage hole 12 and the vent hole 13 penetrate through the cavity wall of the water holding cavity 11 ” may mean that both the drainage hole 12 and the vent hole 13 penetrate from the outer surface of the water tank 1 to communicate with the water holding cavity 11 .

[0033] “The opening at the second end of the air duct 2 is suitable for connecting to the air inlet duct 20 of the air conditioner from the exhaust hole 13” may mean: the opening at the second end of the air duct 2 is connected to the air inlet duct 20 of the air conditioner after passing through the water tank 1 from the exhaust hole 13; or, the air inlet duct 20 of the air conditioner is connected to the opening at the second end of the air duct 2 after passing through the water tank 1 from the exhaust hole 13; or, the second end of the air duct 2 and the air inlet duct 20 of the air conditioner are connected through the exhaust hole 13, at which time, the air inlet duct 20 of the air conditioner may be connected to the outer surface of the water tank 1 and connected to the exhaust hole 13, and the second end of the air duct 2 may be connected to the inner surface of the water tank 1, and the second end opening of the air duct 2 is connected to the exhaust hole 13.

[0034] When the water receiving device 10 is applied to a vehicle, the water receiving port 14 and the air vent 13 are located above the drain hole 12, and rainwater and air can enter the water holding chamber 11 from above the water tank 1. In addition, the air vent 13 is located above the drain hole 12, which can also reduce the possibility of rainwater in the water holding chamber 11 entering the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner from the air vent 13.

[0035] In addition, in the up-down direction, there is a certain distance between the water inlet 14 and the air vent 13 , and there is also a certain distance between the air vent 13 and the drain hole 12 .

[0036] In one embodiment, the water tank 1 is a plastic structure, that is, the water tank 1 is made of plastic material, which can reduce the weight of the water receiving device 10. When the water receiving device 10 is applied to a vehicle, it is beneficial to the lightweight design of the vehicle.

[0037] In addition, the air guide pipe 2 is also a plastic pipe, that is, the air guide pipe 2 is made of plastic material, which can further reduce the weight of the water receiving device 10.

[0038] In one embodiment, the air duct 2 and the water tank 1 are detachably connected, so that when one of the air duct 2 and the water tank 1 is damaged, only the damaged one needs to be replaced, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0039] In one embodiment, the opening of the first end of the air duct 2 is spaced apart from the cavity wall of the water storage cavity 11, and the opening of the first end is not facing the water receiving port 14, that is, the opening of the first end is not arranged upward. When rainwater enters the water storage cavity 11 from the water receiving port 14, it can be prevented from directly falling into the air duct 2 from the opening of the first end, thereby further reducing the possibility of water entering the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, the water chamber 11 can be a rectangular space. In this case, the water chamber 11 has a bottom wall opposite to the water inlet 14 and side walls surrounding the bottom wall. The first end opening can be opposite to the bottom wall or the side wall.

[0041] Preferably, the first end opening is opposite to the side wall, so that when water accumulates in the water holding chamber 11 , the accumulated water can be effectively prevented from being sucked into the air guiding duct 2 .

[0042] In addition, the side walls of the water holding chamber 11 include side walls arranged along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle and side walls arranged along the left-to-right direction of the vehicle, wherein the size of the water holding chamber 11 in the left-to-right direction can be made larger, so it is further preferred that the opening of the first end is opposite to a side wall in the left-to-right direction, which can facilitate the arrangement of the air duct 2 and also make the length of the air duct 2 larger.

[0043] In addition, a drainage hole 12 is provided on the bottom wall to facilitate drainage of the accumulated water in the water storage chamber 11 .

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the air guide pipe 2 is disposed through the exhaust hole 13 .

[0045] The air duct 2 is passed through the exhaust hole 13, which means that the second end of the air duct 2 is passed through the exhaust hole 13. In addition, the air duct 2 may pass through the exhaust hole 13 completely, in which case the end surface of the second end of the air duct 2 is located outside the exhaust hole 13; or the air duct 2 may not pass through the exhaust hole 13 completely, in which case the end surface of the second end of the air duct 2 is located inside the exhaust hole 13.

[0046] In addition, when the air duct 2 is inserted into the exhaust hole 13, the air duct 2 is sealedly connected to the hole wall of the exhaust hole 13, wherein the air duct 2 and the hole wall of the exhaust hole 13 can be sealedly connected by a sealing ring or a sealant.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the air duct 2 includes a first tube 21 and a second tube 22 which are connected in sequence, the first tube 21 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the second tube 22 extends along the front-back direction of the vehicle; the opening of the end of the first tube 21 away from the second tube 22 is the first end opening; the opening of the end of the second tube 22 away from the first tube 21 is the second end opening. This can make the production design of the air duct 2 simpler. In addition, the air duct 2 can be an L-shaped bending structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the air duct 2 can also be other bending structures.

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the water receiving device 10 further includes a connecting pipe 3; the connecting pipe 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the water tank 1 and surrounds the outside of the exhaust hole 13, and the connecting pipe 3 is connected to the exhaust hole 13; the connecting pipe 3 is suitable for connecting to the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner. When the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner is connected to the connecting pipe 3, the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner is connected to the exhaust hole 13, and such a setting can facilitate the assembly of the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner and the water tank 1.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, after assembly, the air guide pipe 2 can be inserted into the connecting pipe 3.

[0050] In one embodiment, the water tank 1 and the connecting pipe 3 are integrally formed. For example, the two can be integrally formed by injection molding. This can improve the assembly efficiency of the water receiving device 10.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water receiving device 10 also includes a drain pipe 4, which is connected to the water tank 1, and the drain pipe 4 is connected to the water holding chamber 11 through the drain hole 12. The water in the water holding chamber 11 can enter the drain pipe 4 from the drain hole 12, and finally be led out to the target position by the drain pipe 4, so that the water in the water holding chamber 11 is discharged from the water holding chamber 11.

[0052] The utility model further provides a vehicle, which comprises an air conditioner and a water receiving device 10 according to any one of the above embodiments; wherein an air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner is connected to the air guide pipe 2 from the exhaust hole 13 .

[0053] In addition, in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, the air intake pipe 20 of the air conditioner is usually arranged behind the water tank 1. At this time, the exhaust hole 13 forms an opening on the rear surface of the water tank 1, that is, the exhaust hole 13 passes through the rear surface of the water tank 1 to connect with the water storage chamber 11.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the vehicle further includes a wiper cover 30, which is located above the water tank 1; a window 5 is provided on the wiper cover 30, and the window 5 penetrates the wiper cover 30 along the up and down directions; the water inlet 14 of the water tank 1 is opposite to the window 5, and is used to receive rainwater falling from the window 5.

[0055] The water inlet 14 being relative to the window 5 may mean that, in an orthographic projection on a plane perpendicular to the up-down direction, the projection of the window 5 is completely located within the projection of the water inlet 14 .

[0056] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the vehicle further includes a hood 40, a front panel 50 and a front windshield 60. The front end of the wiper cover 30 is connected to the thickness of the hood 40, and a sealing strip 70 is provided between the two so as to seal the two. The rear end of the wiper cover 30 is connected to the front panel 50, and the window 5 of the wiper cover 30 is located between the hood 40 and the front windshield 60.

[0057] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
