[0040] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 The present invention describes a cab air conditioning duct system according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a cab air conditioning duct system, which is applied to the cab. The cab air conditioning duct system includes a main air duct 1, and the main air duct 1 is arranged on the top of the cab; the main air duct 1 is formed with a main air outlet 12 arranged toward the driver in the cab, and the air outlet direction of the main air outlet 12 forms an angle with the height direction of the driver when sitting, so that the wind blown out of the main air outlet 12 can blow toward the driver along the downward direction.

[0047] According to the structure described above, by designing the branch air duct 2, air can be blown toward the driver's side, increasing the air outlet positions and further improving the driver's comfort.

[0048] Furthermore, preferably, there are two branch ducts 2, one at each end of the main duct 1, i.e., on either side of the driver. As can be seen, the two branch ducts 2 and the main duct 1 form a U-shaped duct structure, which can then surround the top and sides of the driver, increasing the number of air outlets, allowing air to blow around the driver, greatly improving driver comfort. Of course, this is not limited to the above. The number of branch ducts 2 can also be one, or even no branch ducts 2 can be provided, that is, only the main duct 1 can be used.

The specific selection depends on actual needs.

[0057] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the branch air duct 2 is formed with a first connecting portion 22, and is detachably connected to a first target location, such as the inner wall of a cab, through the first connecting portion 22 and a first fastening member, such as a screw or bolt (not shown). It is a detachable connection structure, which is convenient for early installation and later disassembly and maintenance.

[0058] Furthermore, preferably, the first connecting portion 22 is an ear plate, and a through hole for installing the first fastening member is provided on the ear plate.

[0059] In this embodiment, preferably, the branch air duct 2 is made of plastic.

[0061] In this embodiment, preferably, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cab air conditioning duct system also includes a defogger duct 6, which is connected to the main air duct 1, and the defogger duct 6 is formed with a defogger outlet 61 arranged toward the windshield of the cab, for blowing air toward the windshield of the cab for defogger and defrost.

[0062] According to the structure described above, the defogger duct 6 is used to introduce the wind in the main air duct 1 into the windshield, and then the windshield can be defogged and defrosted by blowing air toward the windshield, ensuring that the driver can clearly see the outside world through the windshield, ensuring normal work and safety and reliability during driving.

[0063] In this embodiment, preferably, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the defogger duct 6 is connected to the main air duct 1 by plugging, and a second sealing component is provided between the defogger duct 6 and the main air duct 1.

[0064] According to the structure described above, the defogger duct 6 is connected to the main air duct 1 by plugging.

In addition, a first sealing component such as a sealing ring is provided between the defogger duct 6 and the main air duct 1 to further improve the sealing performance.

[0065] Of course, the connection method is not limited to the above-mentioned method, and other connection methods can also be used. For example, flanges are respectively provided at the joints of the defogger duct 6 and the main air duct 1, and the two flanges are connected to each other and can be detachably connected by bolts, etc., or the defogger duct 6 and the main air duct 1 are an integrated structure, or when the defogger duct 6 and the main air duct 1 are made of metal, they can be connected by welding. The specific selection depends on actual needs.

[0066] In this embodiment, preferably, the defogger air duct 6 is made of plastic.

[0067] According to the structure described above, the defogger duct 6 made of plastic is light in weight, which contributes to lightweight design. Of course, it is not limited to this, and the material of the defogger duct 6 can also be selected according to actual needs.

[0068] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the defogger duct 6 is formed with a second connecting portion 62, and is detachably connected to a second target location, such as the inner wall of the cab, through the second connecting portion 62 and a second fastening member, such as a screw or a bolt.

[0071] According to the structure described above, the wind discharged from the evaporator of the air conditioner enters the main air duct 1 through the main air inlet 11 of the main air duct 1, and then flows along the main air duct 1 and blows toward the driver through the main air outlet 12. At the same time, the wind in the main air duct 1 is diverted to the branch air duct 2 and the defogger air duct 6, and after circulation, it passes through the branch air outlet 21 and the defogger air outlet 61 in turn and blows toward the driver and the front windshield.

[0072] Further, preferably, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the defogger duct 6 is arranged above the main air duct 1 and is located on the side of the aforementioned main air inlet 11. The overall layout is reasonable to avoid interference.

[0073] In this embodiment, preferably, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, along the direction from the air inlet of the main air duct 1 to its air outlet, the main air duct 1 is gradually expanding, which can quickly introduce the wind and divert it to the branch air ducts 2 on different sides.

[0074] Furthermore, preferably, the main air duct 1 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the main air inlet 11, so as to ensure that the air volume and wind speed on both sides of the main air inlet 11 are consistent, and the uniformity and consistency of the air blowing to the driver at all parts of the body are ensured, which further improves the driver's comfort. On this basis, preferably, the side of the main air duct 1 facing away from the main air inlet 11, that is, the second side 14, is V-shaped with respect to the main air inlet 11, and the sharp corners of the V-shaped structure are formed with rounded corners, that is, a smooth arc transition is formed, so that the air ducts on both sides of the main air inlet 11, that is, the first main air duct and the second main air duct, are gradually expanded along the direction of the air inlet of the main air duct 1 toward the air outlets at both ends thereof. Of course, it is not limited to this. The side of the main air duct 1 facing away from the main air inlet 11 can also be a planar structure, that is, along the direction of wind flow, the first main air duct 1 and the second main air duct are air ducts of equal thickness, rather than gradually expanding air ducts. The specific selection is based on actual needs.

[0075] And on the basis of the main air duct 1 having the aforementioned structure, branch air ducts 2 are provided on both sides of the main air duct 1. Of course, the structure of the main air duct 1 is not limited to the above, and other structures may also be adopted. For example, the main air duct 1 may only be half of the structure of the main air duct 1 in this embodiment, etc., and the specific selection is based on actual needs.

[0076] In this embodiment, preferably, the main air duct 1 is made of plastic.

[0077] According to the structure described above, the main air duct 1 made of plastic is light in weight, which is conducive to lightweight design. Of course, it is not limited to this, and the material of the main air duct 1 can also be selected according to actual needs.
