[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the front water trough structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, and reference Figures 2 to 5 The embodiment of the present invention provides a front water trough structure for an automobile, comprising a water trough body 100 and a front windshield 200. The water trough body 100 defines a water trough with an upward opening, a recessed groove 120 being provided on the rear wall of the water trough, and an air conditioning air inlet 130 being provided on the groove wall of the recessed groove 120. The air conditioning air inlet 130 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the water trough. The rear surface of the front windshield 200 is in contact with the rear groove wall, and the lower wall of the recessed groove 120 is located on the lower side of the lower end of the front windshield 200, so that airflow enters the recessed groove 120 and then enters the air conditioning air inlet 130.

[0036] The water gutter is used to channel rainwater running off the front windshield 200, ensuring it doesn't collect below and in front of the windshield 200. A recessed groove 120 is provided on the rear wall of the gutter, and the air conditioning inlet 130 is located on the wall of the recessed groove 120. This means that using the front gutter to position the air conditioning inlet reduces its layout space, facilitates the routing of surrounding wiring and piping, and effectively improves the layout of the front engine compartment, making it suitable for vehicles with limited front engine compartment space. Furthermore, the air conditioning inlet is located outside the front engine compartment and directly connected to the outside atmosphere. This arrangement prevents gasoline or oil vapors from the front engine compartment from entering the cockpit, thereby preventing air pollution and ensuring a comfortable cabin. Furthermore, the front windshield 200 directs airflow into the recessed groove 120, facilitating airflow into the air conditioning inlet 130. Moreover, the lower end of the windshield can be directly used as part of the water channel, without the need for a connector between the front windshield 200 and the water channel. The original sealing structure can also be eliminated, thus saving as much space as possible in the front cabin and reducing component development costs. At the same time, the windshield can also be made larger. Furthermore, the air conditioning inlet 130 and the bottom wall of the water channel are spaced apart to prevent rainwater in the water channel from entering the air conditioning inlet 130 when it rains. In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the air conditioning inlet 130 is located on the rear wall of the recessed groove 120. The air conditioning inlet 130 is located above the lower end of the front windshield 200. The front windshield 200 provides shielding and protection for the air conditioning inlet 130, preventing water from entering in the event of heavy rainfall or when the vehicle is at a steep angle.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bottom wall of the water trough is provided with a water outlet 140 for draining the water in the trough. The front dash trough structure also includes a water outlet pipe 150. The inlet of the water outlet pipe 150 is connected to the water outlet 140, and the outlet 160 of the water outlet pipe 150 is configured to discharge the water in the water outlet pipe 150 outside the vehicle.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front water channel structure also includes a filter element, which is arranged in the water channel and configured to filter the water and air flow entering the water channel. The filter element can prevent impurities in the water or air flow from entering the water channel or even the air inlet 130.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the filter element includes a first filter area 310 and a shielding area 320. The first filter area 310 is disposed on the upper side of the front wall of the water trough. The shielding area 320 is connected to the lower edge of the first filter area 310, and the upper edge of the shielding area 320 is located below the lower end of the front windshield 200.

[0040] The shielding area 320 is used to block water and air from flowing into the water trough, and the first filtering area 310 is used to filter the water and air to prevent impurities in the water and air from flowing into the water trough. For example, the shielding area 320 and the first filtering area 310 can prevent leaves in the water from entering the water trough.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper edge of the shielding area 320 contacts the lower end of the front windshield 200. This arrangement is more conducive to filtering the water and airflow entering the water trough.

[0042] In other embodiments of the present invention, the upper edge of the shielding area 320 is sealed to the lower end of the front windshield 200. This arrangement ensures that water and air entering the water trough will not flow between the lower end of the windshield and the upper edge of the shielding area 320.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper end of the shielding area 320 is located below the lower end of the front windshield 200 .

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the filter element further includes a second filter area 330, which extends upward from the upper edge of the first filter area 310. When there is a lot of rain, the provision of the second filter area 330 can enhance the ability to filter rainwater, thereby preventing some rainwater or airflow from flowing into the gutter before being filtered by the first filter area 310, causing impurities in the rainwater or airflow to clog the gutter or the outlet.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, filter holes are provided on both the first filter area 310 and the second filter area 330. The first filter area 310 and the second filter area 330 filter water and air through the filter holes to prevent impurities in the water and air from flowing into the water flow trough.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the filter holes on the first filter area 310 and the filter holes on the second filter area 330 are connected to each other.

[0047] The filter holes on the first filter area 310 and the filter holes on the second filter area 330 can also be connected to each other. This arrangement allows the multiple filter holes to form a filter channel, thereby increasing the filter area and improving the filtering effect.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the shielding area 320 is a sealing plate, which can improve the shielding effect.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, filter holes are provided on the shielding area 320. In other words, the shielding area 320 not only has a shielding function but also a filtering function, and can also filter the water and airflow entering the water trough, further preventing impurities in the water and airflow from entering the water trough or even the air inlet 130 of the air conditioner.

[0050] An embodiment of the present invention provides an automobile, including an air conditioner and a dash panel structure according to any of the above-described embodiments. The air conditioner's inlet is connected to an air conditioner air inlet 130. The automobile's air conditioner is used to control the temperature of the cockpit. When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the air conditioner converts outdoor air entering the air conditioner's inlet through the air conditioner air inlet 130 into cooling air. The cooling air then exchanges heat with the air in the cockpit, cooling the air inside the cockpit.

[0051] In other embodiments of the present invention, the air inlet of the air conditioner is arranged at the air inlet 130 of the air conditioner.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner includes an air inlet duct, the air inlet duct includes a first section and a second section, the inlet of the first section is the inlet of the air conditioner, the first section is connected to the second section, and the connection between the first section and the second section is the lowest position of the first section and the lowest position of the second section.

[0053] Air enters the air conditioner's inlet, passes through the first and second sections, and then flows out into the cab. The junction of the first and second sections is the lowest point of the first section, and the lowest point of the second section ensures that if water enters the air conditioner's inlet, it will collect at the junction of the first and second sections, preventing it from entering the cab and affecting the user experience.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, a downwardly extending drain pipe is provided at the connection between the first section and the second section, so that water collected at the connection between the first section and the second section can be drained through the downwardly extending drain pipe.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner includes an air duct, wherein the air inlet duct is a portion of the air duct. Positioning the air inlet of the air conditioner on the wall of the water trough can significantly shorten the length of the air conditioner duct and improve air conditioner performance. The air conditioner also includes a heat exchanger disposed within the air duct, the heat exchanger being located at the rear end of the air inlet duct, and air entering through the air inlet duct undergoes heat exchange with the heat exchanger. For example, during cooling, the surface temperature of the heat exchanger is low, and the air entering the air inlet duct undergoes heat exchange with the heat exchanger to form a cooling airflow. This cooling airflow enters the cab and then undergoes heat exchange with the air within the cab, ultimately cooling the air within the cab and reducing the cab temperature.

[0056] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and deemed to cover all such other variations or modifications.
