[0031] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.
[0032] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the positive direction of the Y axis in the drawings is the front, the negative direction of the Y axis is the back, the positive direction of the Z axis is the top, and the negative direction of the Z axis is the bottom.
[0033] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment of the present application provides a ventilation cover 100, which has both ventilation and drainage functions, can save investment costs in design and development, reduce the number of parts, and is easy to manage and install.
[0034] The ventilation cover 100 includes a first plate 110 and a second plate 120. The first plate 110 is provided with an air intake opening 111. The second plate 120 is connected to the lower side of the first plate 110, and an air intake passage is formed between the second plate 120 and the first plate 110. The air intake opening 111 is connected to the air intake passage. The second plate 120 is provided with a ventilation portion 130 and a drainage groove 140. The ventilation portion 130 is used to be connected to the air intake hole of the air conditioner of the vehicle. The ventilation portion 130 is also connected to the air intake opening 111 through the air intake passage, and is staggered with the air intake opening 111. The drainage groove 140 is connected to the air intake passage, and the drainage groove 140 is staggered with the ventilation portion 130 to prevent water flow from entering the ventilation portion 130.
[0035] The external wind flows in through the air inlet opening 111 on the first plate 110, and enters the air-conditioning blower through the air inlet passage, the ventilation part 130 and the air inlet hole of the air-conditioning in turn, so that the ventilation cover plate 100 in the embodiment of the present application can provide the air intake for the air-conditioning compressor; the external water flow (such as rainwater, car washing water) enters through the air inlet opening 111 on the first plate 110, and then flows into the drainage groove 140 through the air inlet passage and the second plate 120, and is discharged through the drainage groove 140, so that the ventilation cover plate 100 in the embodiment of the present application can play a role in drainage; the drainage groove 140 is staggered with the ventilation part 130, which can prevent the external water flow from entering the ventilation part 130, thereby preventing the external water flow from entering the air-conditioning and damaging the air-conditioning; the ventilation cover plate 100 in the present application has both ventilation and drainage functions, and the second plate 120 of the ventilation cover plate 100 is connected to the first plate 110, and there is no need to set up a water guide structure separately, which can save the investment cost of design and development, reduce the number of parts, facilitate management, and facilitate installation.
[0036] The location of the air-conditioning air inlet in the related art is limited by the ventilation cover 100 and the water guide structure. Generally, the air-conditioning air inlet is opened on the front panel 210, and the air-conditioning air inlet needs to be connected with the air-conditioning air duct opening, which limits the location of the air-conditioning air duct opening. When the location of the air-conditioning air duct opening changes, the air-conditioning air inlet cannot match the air-conditioning air duct opening, and needs to be redeveloped, which increases the development and design cost. However, the structure of the ventilation cover 100 in the embodiment of the present application does not limit the location of the air-conditioning air inlet, and the location of the air-conditioning air inlet can be selected according to actual needs, thereby further reducing the development and design cost.
[0037] Optionally, at least one air inlet opening 111 is provided on the first plate 110, and at least one ventilation portion 130 is provided on the second plate 120. In other words, one or more air inlet openings 111 may be provided on the first plate 110, and one or more ventilation portions 130 may be provided on the second plate 120.
[0038] It is understandable that the staggered arrangement of the air inlet opening 111 and the ventilation portion 130 is to prevent external water from entering the ventilation portion 130 through the air inlet passage when entering the air inlet opening 111, thereby damaging the vehicle's air conditioner. Therefore, the staggered arrangement of the air inlet opening 111 and the ventilation portion 130 may be within a horizontal plane.
[0039] Optionally, the staggered position between the air intake opening 111 and the ventilation portion 130 may be staggered in the width direction of the vehicle. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first plate 110 is provided with two air inlet openings 111, and the two air inlet openings 111 are respectively arranged at both ends of the first plate 110 along the length direction of the first plate 110, see Figure 5 andFigure 6 On the second plate 120, a ventilation portion 130 is provided. The ventilation portion 130 is arranged in the middle of the second plate 120 along the length direction of the second plate 120. In this way, both intake openings 111 are offset from the ventilation portion 130. The external air flow can enter the ventilation portion 130 through the intake openings 111, while the external water flows through the intake openings 111 and falls onto the second plate 120, and then flows into the drain trough 140 through the second plate 120 and is discharged, and cannot enter the ventilation portion 130, thereby preventing the external water from entering the air conditioner.
[0040] Certainly, the offset between the intake openings 111 and the ventilation portion 130 can also be an offset along the length direction of the vehicle, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0041] It can be understood that the specific number and specific positions of the intake openings 111 and the ventilation portion 130 can be set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, the ventilation cover 100 further includes a fence structure, and the fence structure is at least provided at the intake openings 111 or the ventilation portion 130. That is to say, the fence structure can be provided at the intake openings 111, can be provided at the ventilation portion 130, or can be provided at both the intake openings 111 and the ventilation portion 130 at the same time.
[0043] Optionally, the fence structure is provided at both the intake openings 111 and the ventilation portion 130 at the same time, so as to prevent external sundries (such as leaves and garbage) from entering the air conditioner and the drain trough 140, affecting the operation of the air conditioner and the drainage of the drain trough 140. Optionally, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 the fence structures at the intake openings 111 and the ventilation portion 130 are both made of a mesh plate with a plurality of mesh holes. Of course, other structures with a filtering function (such as a sieve mesh, etc.) can also be used at the intake openings 111 and the ventilation portion 130, as long as it can prevent sundries such as leaves and garbage from entering, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 the second plate 120 has a first end 121 and a second end 122 arranged along its width direction. The first end 121 is connected to the first plate 110. The intake openings 111 are arranged close to the first end 121. The drain trough 140 is arranged at the second end 122. The second plate 120 is arranged to slope downward in the direction close to the drain trough 140.
[0045] It can be understood that the first end 121 is connected to the first plate 110, the air inlet opening 111 on the first plate 110 is arranged close to the first end 121, the drainage groove 140 is arranged at the second end 122, and the second plate 120 is inclined downward in the direction close to the drainage groove 140. This structure can reduce the vertical distance between the air inlet opening 111 and the second plate 120, thereby preventing external water from splashing due to excessive height when flowing through the air inlet opening 111 and the air inlet channel and falling on the second plate 120, causing part of the water to splash into the ventilation portion 130.
[0046] Optionally, a first guide portion (not shown in the drawings) may be provided on the second plate 120, the first guide portion having a third end close to the drainage groove 140 and a fourth end away from the drainage groove 140, the fourth end being higher than the third end, and the fourth end may be located directly below the air inlet opening 111 on the first plate 110. Optionally, the first guide portion may be a guide rib. External water flows through the air inlet opening 111 and falls onto the second plate 120, and then accelerates along the guide rib to flow into the drainage groove 140, which is conducive to improving drainage efficiency.
[0047] Of course, the first guide portion may also adopt other guide structures, which are not specifically limited here. For example, a guide channel (not shown in the drawings) may also be provided on the second plate 120, and the guide channel has a fifth end close to the drainage groove 140 and a sixth end away from the drainage groove 140, the sixth end is higher than the fifth end, and the sixth end may be located directly below the air inlet opening 111 on the first plate 110. Water from the outside flows through the air inlet opening 111 and falls onto the second plate 120, and then accelerates along the guide channel to flow into the drainage groove 140, which is conducive to improving drainage efficiency.
[0048] Optionally, in some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The second end 122 of the second plate 120 is used to connect with the front panel 210 of the vehicle, so that the drainage groove 140 and the front panel 210 further form a drainage channel, and the front panel 210 is used to isolate the engine compartment from the passenger compartment. In other words, the front panel 210 can also limit the water flow, preventing the water flow from flowing into the vehicle body and damaging the water-sensitive components in the vehicle.
[0049] It is understandable that the staggered arrangement of the drain groove 140 and the ventilation part 130 is to prevent external water from flowing into the ventilation part 130 during the process of flowing into the drain groove 140, thereby damaging the air conditioner of the vehicle. Therefore, the staggered arrangement of the drain groove 140 and the ventilation part 130 may be in the vertical plane, that is, in the height direction of the vehicle.
[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments, the inlet of the ventilation part 130 protrudes vertically from the drain trough 140. In this way, the drain trough 140 and the ventilation part 130 can be staggered, so that the external water flow (such as rainwater, car wash water) enters through the air intake opening 111 on the first plate 110, flows into the drain trough 140 through the second plate 120, and is discharged through the drain trough 140, without entering the ventilation part 130 through the inlet of the ventilation part 130, nor affecting the external air flow from entering through the air intake opening 111 on the first plate 110 and entering the air-conditioning blower through the ventilation part 130 and the air-conditioning air intake hole.
[0051] Of course, a water guide plate can also be provided around the ventilation part 130, or other structures can be adopted to stagger the drain trough 140 and the ventilation part 130, and no specific limitations are made here.
[0052] Optionally, the second plate 120, the ventilation part 130 and the drain trough 140 are integrally formed. Exemplarily, referring to Figure 6 , a convex part is provided on the second plate 120, and the convex part is surrounded by a mesh plate with a plurality of mesh holes, so as to form the ventilation part 130. Optionally, the second plate 120 in the area around the ventilation part 130 can be higher than the second plate 120 directly below the air intake opening 111, so as to further prevent the external water flow from entering the ventilation part 130 when it falls from the air intake opening 111 to the second plate 120. Optionally, the drain trough 140 is formed by bending the second end 122 of the second plate 120 upward.
[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, the drain trough 140 extends along the width direction of the vehicle, and at least one end of the drain trough 140 in its extending direction is provided with a drain port. Optionally, the drain port is communicated with the outside, and the water in the drain trough 140 can be directly discharged through the drain port. Exemplarily, drain ports are respectively provided at both ends of the drain trough 140 in its extending direction.
[0054] Optionally, a second guiding part (not shown in the drawings) can be provided in the drain trough 140, and the second guiding part is inclined downward along the direction close to the drain port. By providing the second guiding part, the water in the drain trough 140 can be accelerated to be discharged from the drain port.
[0055] Optionally, the second guiding part can be a slope. Exemplarily, the middle part of the bottom wall of the drain trough 140 is higher than both ends, that is to say, a slope is provided on both sides of the middle part of the bottom wall of the drain trough 140 along the length direction of the drain trough 140, and the slope is inclined downward along the direction close to the drain port, which is beneficial to the water in the drain trough 140 to be discharged towards the drain ports at both ends.
[0056] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are integrally formed. This can further reduce the number of components, facilitating management and installation. Optionally, both the first plate 110 and the second plate 120 are made of resin material. This can make the manufactured ventilation cover plate 100 lightweight. Optionally, the ventilation cover plate 100 is integrally injection-molded using resin material, which is beneficial to improving the processing speed.
[0057] Other configurations and operations of the ventilation cover plate 100 according to the embodiments of the first aspect of the present application are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0058] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides a vehicle, which includes the ventilation cover plate 100 according to the embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, and further includes a vehicle body, and the ventilation cover plate 100 is installed on the vehicle body.
[0059] Optionally, the vehicle body includes a windshield, a front bulkhead 210, an engine compartment, and a passenger compartment. The front bulkhead 210 is disposed between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment and is used to isolate the engine compartment and the passenger compartment. The ventilation cover plate 100 is installed between the windshield and the engine compartment, and the ventilation cover plate 100 is disposed in front of the front bulkhead 210 along the driving direction of the vehicle.
[0060] Other configurations and operations of the vehicle according to the embodiments of the second aspect of the present application are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0061] The embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present application.
