Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile air conditioners and relates to a multi-temperature zone automobile air conditioner distribution box. Background Art

[0002] The traditional multi-temperature zone automobile air-conditioning distribution box structure is divided into a left shell of the warm air distribution box, a left middle shell of the warm air distribution box, a right middle shell of the warm air distribution box, and a right shell of the warm air distribution box, forming three independent air flow channels: left flow channel, rear flow channel, and right flow channel. Then, the opening of the cold and warm air doors of each flow channel is used to adjust the ratio of cold and hot air in each area to achieve temperature regulation in the three spatial areas of the main driver / rear seat / co-driver, thereby realizing multi-temperature zone automobile air conditioning.

[0003] In the traditional independent rear flow duct, the temperature of the rear face air outlet and the rear foot air outlet is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the rear mixing air door. The rear mixing air door is far away from the rear face air outlet and the rear foot air outlet. When the rear mixing small opening is adjusted, the cold air and hot air in the rear flow duct can be mixed more fully, but the temperature of the rear face air outlet and the rear foot air outlet are not stratified, resulting in the temperature of the rear face air outlet and the temperature of the rear foot air outlet being the same. In the face-foot mode, the rear mixing air door is in a non-full cold / non-full hot position, the rear face air outlet temperature is higher than the front face air outlet temperature, and the rear foot air outlet temperature is lower than the front foot air outlet temperature, which cannot meet the temperature difference requirements of the face air outlet and the foot air outlet in the rear area of ​​the whole vehicle. Since the human face is more sensitive to temperature than the feet, the passengers in the rear area can obviously feel that their faces are hot and their feet are cold, affecting the comfort of the rear passengers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to achieve the temperature difference requirement between the face air outlet and the foot air outlet in the rear area, and to provide a multi-temperature zone automobile air conditioning distribution box.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A multi-temperature zone automobile air-conditioning distribution box comprises a left middle shell body of a warm air distribution box and a right middle shell body of a warm air distribution box, wherein the left middle shell body of the warm air distribution box and the right middle shell body of the warm air distribution box are buckled together to form a rear flow channel, a rear mixing air door is arranged at one end of the rear flow channel, and a rear blowing face air door and a rear blowing foot air door are arranged at the other end, a partition is arranged in the rear flow channel, and the rear flow channel is divided into a rear upper flow channel and a rear lower flow channel along the air flow direction, the outlet of the rear upper flow channel is opposite to the rear blowing face air door, and the outlet of the rear lower flow channel is opposite to the rear blowing foot air door; when the rear mixing air door is in a non-full cold and non-full hot position, more cold air passes through the rear upper flow channel, and more hot air passes through the rear lower flow channel, so that the outlet air temperature of the rear flow channel is stratified, and the outlet air temperature of the rear row blowing face is lower than the outlet air temperature of the rear row blowing foot.

[0007] Furthermore, the partition includes a first partition, a second partition, a third partition, and a fourth partition; the first partition and the second partition are fixed on the left middle shell of the warm air distribution box, and the third partition and the fourth partition are fixed on the right middle shell of the warm air distribution box; after the first partition and the third partition are buckled together, the rear flow channel is divided into a rear upper flow channel and a rear lower flow channel; after the second partition and the fourth partition are buckled together, a rectangular outlet is formed at the end of the rear upper flow channel and the rear lower flow channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the first partition plate and the third partition plate are located at 50%±20% of the overall width of the rear flow channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the distance between the second partition plate and the fourth partition plate and the entrance of the rear air outlet is 35 mm to 60 mm.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0011] The utility model divides the rear flow channel into an upper and lower layer by adding a partition in the rear flow channel. When the rear mixing air door is in a non-fully cold and non-fully hot position, more cold air passes through the rear upper flow channel, and more hot air passes through the rear lower flow channel, so that the air outlet temperature of the rear flow channel is stratified, and the rear face-blowing air outlet temperature is lower than the rear foot-blowing air outlet temperature. This can effectively solve the problem of no temperature difference between the face-blowing air outlet and the foot-blowing air outlet in the rear area of ​​the whole vehicle in the face-blowing-foot-blowing mode. At the same time, the linearity of the rear air outlet can be adjusted by changing the position of the partition in the rear flow channel as needed, thereby improving the comfort of the passengers in the rear area.
