However, existing vehicle air conditioning designs still face some significant issues, particularly regarding center of gravity distribution and balance.

[0003] Traditional vehicle air conditioner layouts often lack rational planning, resulting in uneven weight distribution of various components within the housing. This irrational layout not only affects the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner but, more importantly, leads to an unbalanced center of gravity. This unbalanced center of gravity directly impacts the stability of the vehicle's operation. This is especially true during driving, where bumps and vibrations can cause the AC unit to generate excessive noise, negatively impacting the vehicle's overall performance and passenger comfort.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the problems of unreasonable layout, uneven center of gravity distribution, and poor balance of existing vehicle air conditioners, a new vehicle air conditioner design is urgently needed to optimize component layout, improve center of gravity distribution, and enhance balance, thereby improving the overall performance of the vehicle air conditioner and the passenger experience.

[0033] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model provides an integrated vehicle air conditioner 100, including a casing 10 and a refrigeration assembly, wherein the refrigeration assembly is installed in the casing 10. Specifically, the casing 10 has a first end and a second end spaced apart along the length direction, and the refrigeration assembly is arranged between the first end and the second end. The refrigeration assembly includes an external fan 4, a condenser 5, a compressor 6, an evaporator 7 and an internal fan 8 arranged in sequence; the external fan 4 is arranged at the first end, and the internal fan 8 is arranged at the second end. In order to ensure the overall balance of the vehicle air conditioner 100, the compressor 6 is arranged close to the condenser 5 so that the center of gravity of the vehicle air conditioner 100 as a whole coincides with the central axis of the casing 10.

[0035] In the vehicle air conditioner 100, the weight of the compressor 6 is heavier than that of the condenser 5, the evaporator 7, etc. Therefore, the center of gravity of the traditional vehicle air conditioner 100 will be offset, affecting the overall balance and stability of the vehicle air conditioner 100. In this embodiment, in order to make the vehicle air conditioner 100 more balanced as a whole, the compressor 6 is arranged at a position between one-third and one-half of the first end of the casing 10, such as Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the compressor 6 and the first end is D, and the overall length of the housing 10 is L. The relationship between D and L satisfies: D = (1 / 3 - 1 / 2) L. Preferably, the external fan 4, compressor 6, and condenser 5 are located near the first end, and the evaporator 7 and internal fan 8 are located near the second end. At the same time, the housing 10 is optimized so that the center of gravity of the vehicle air conditioner 100 as a whole coincides with the axis of its center, thereby improving the overall balance of the vehicle air conditioner 100.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the casing 10 has a first bottom 121 and a second bottom 122 arranged along the length direction, wherein the first bottom 121 defines a first installation groove, suitable for supporting the installation of the external fan 4, condenser 5 and compressor 6; the second bottom 122 defines a second installation groove, suitable for installing the evaporator 7 and the internal fan 8, so that the installation positions of the external fan 4, condenser 5, compressor 6, evaporator 7 and internal fan 8 are more reasonable. Furthermore, the width dimension of the first bottom 121 is greater than the width dimension of the second bottom 122, and the length dimension of the first bottom 121 is smaller than the length dimension of the second bottom 122. By optimizing the design of the casing 10, the center of gravity of the vehicle air conditioner 100 can coincide with the center, thereby further improving the overall stability of the vehicle air conditioner 100.

[0037] The external fan 4 is suitable for discharging the heat generated by the condenser 5. The housing 10 is provided with an air outlet facing the external fan 4, which ensures the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser 5 to the hot air and improves the cooling effect of the vehicle air conditioner 100. Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the first end of the casing 10 is provided with a first air outlet 21 connected to the external fan 4, and an inclined transition portion 123 is provided between the first bottom 121 and the second bottom 122. A side air outlet 124 connected to the external fan 4 is provided on the side wall of the transition portion 123. A ventilation and heat exchange channel is formed between the side air outlet 124 and the first air outlet 21, which improves the ventilation efficiency between the surrounding area of ​​the condenser 5 and the outside world, and increases the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser 5. In addition, by arranging the side air outlet 124 on the inclined wall of the transition portion 123, adopting a streamlined design and optimizing the air duct path, the air flow can be better guided and the air intake efficiency is improved.

[0038] In this embodiment, the interior fan 8 is suitable for sending the cold air generated by the evaporator 7 into the interior space of the vehicle, thereby quickly cooling the temperature inside the vehicle; the bottom of the housing 10 is provided with a second air outlet 125 and a third air outlet 126, the second air outlet 125 is roughly arranged in the middle area of ​​the housing 10, thereby further optimizing the gravity distribution of the housing 10, the evaporator 7 and the interior fan 8 are sequentially arranged between the second air outlet 125 and the third air outlet 126, the second air outlet 125 is suitable for sucking the hot air in the vehicle, and the third air outlet 126 is suitable for blowing the cold air into the vehicle to enter The evaporator 7 is close to the second air outlet 125 so that the hot air in the car can quickly come into contact with the surface of the evaporator 7 when passing through the second air outlet 125, and can quickly undergo heat exchange and become cold air. The hot air is then sent into the car through the third air outlet 126 via the internal fan 8, so that the air in the car circulates between the car air conditioner 100, thereby quickly cooling the car. The second air outlet 125 and the third air outlet 126 are formed at the second bottom 122, which can further reduce the weight of the casing 10, optimize the gravity distribution, and improve the overall balance of the car air conditioner 100.

[0039] It should be noted that both the external fan 4 and the internal fan 8 are cross-flow fans. Preferably, both the external fan 4 and the internal fan 8 are installed in the casing 10 in a horizontal manner, which can increase the ventilation area and further improve the ventilation efficiency.

[0040] The vehicle air conditioner 100 of this embodiment further includes an electric control module 9, which is substantially disposed in the middle region of the housing 10 to balance the center of gravity of the vehicle air conditioner 100. Figure 5 As shown, the electronic control module 9 is arranged in the flow path between the second air outlet 125 and the third air outlet 126, and can also use the cold air generated by the evaporator 7 to cool down and ensure the operating temperature of the electronic control module 9. Specifically, the electronic control module 9 includes common control components such as an electronic control box and a control circuit. These are all common electrical components used in the vehicle air conditioner 100 and are related to the prior art.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes a first cover body 2 for housing the external fan 4, and a second cover body 3 for housing the evaporator 7 and the internal fan 8, wherein the first cover body 2 is fixed to one side of the condenser 5, and defines a space suitable for housing the external fan 4 between the first cover body 2 and the condenser 5, which has the effects of dust prevention, noise reduction, heat insulation, etc., and the first air outlet 21 is formed on the side wall of the first cover body 2 so as to exchange with the outside air, and can quickly discharge the heat generated by the condenser 5 to avoid affecting the working temperature of the compressor 6; the second cover body 3 is integrally covered on the outside of the electronic control module 9, the evaporator 7 and the internal fan 8, and can effectively gather the cold air generated by the evaporator 7 in the cavity between the second cover body 3 and the casing 10, thereby reducing heat loss and improving the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner; further, the volume of the second cover body 3 is larger than that of the first cover body 2. By setting the volume of the first cover body 2 and the second cover body 3, the weight of the first end and the second end of the casing 10 can be better maintained to ensure the balance of the vehicle air conditioner 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. The upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 define a receiving space. The refrigeration assembly is received in the receiving space. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an air outlet is provided on the upper shell 11 corresponding to the first air outlet 21 of the first cover body 2; the first bottom 121 and the second bottom 122 are provided on the lower shell 12, and the width and length of the first bottom 121 and the second bottom 122 are optimized, so that the overall layout is more reasonable, ensuring that the center of gravity of the vehicle air conditioner 100 as a whole coincides with the central axis of the casing 10, thereby improving the overall balance of the vehicle air conditioner 100.
