These cabs can be independently controlled for forward and reverse driving. To enhance driver comfort, air conditioning systems are required in both cabs. Typically, an air conditioning system consists of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a reservoir, and the corresponding piping and circuits. For these dual-cab vehicles, the need for two air conditioning systems increases installation costs and occupies more space on the vehicle for the air conditioning components. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] To make the above features and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] Furthermore, the terms "one," "two," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or to implicitly indicate the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature specified as "one" or "two" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0021] Reference Figure 1The present application provides a vehicle air conditioning system, comprising: a compressor 1, a condenser 2, a liquid reservoir 3, a main cab evaporator 4, a co-driver cab evaporator 5, a three-way connector 1 6, a three-way connector 2 7, a solenoid valve 1 8, and a solenoid valve 2 9;

[0022] The outlet of the compressor 1 is connected to the condenser 2, the liquid reservoir 3, and the first interface of the three-way joint 6 in sequence through a high-pressure pipe. The second interface of the three-way joint 6 is connected to the solenoid valve 8 and the inlet of the main cab evaporator 4 in sequence through a high-pressure pipe. The third interface of the three-way joint 6 is connected to the solenoid valve 9 and the inlet of the passenger cab evaporator 5 in sequence through a high-pressure pipe.

[0023] The inlet of the compressor 1 is connected to the first interface of the three-way joint 7 through a low-pressure pipe, the second interface of the three-way joint 7 is connected to the outlet of the main cab evaporator 4 through a low-pressure pipe, and the third interface of the three-way joint 7 is connected to the outlet of the co-driver's cab evaporator 5 through a low-pressure pipe.

[0024] Furthermore, when the air conditioner in the main cab is working, the solenoid valve 1 8 is energized and turned on, and the solenoid valve 2 9 is de-energized and closed;

[0025] When the air conditioner in the co-pilot's cab is working, the solenoid valve 2 9 is energized and turned on, and the solenoid valve 1 8 is de-energized and closed.

[0026] Specifically, the working principle of this application is as follows:

[0027] Reference Figure 2 When the main cab air conditioning is operating, solenoid valve 1 (8) is energized, connecting high-pressure pipe 4 (13) and high-pressure pipe 5 (14). Solenoid valve 2 (9) remains de-energized and closed, disconnecting high-pressure pipe 6 (15) and high-pressure pipe 7 (16). At this point, the air conditioning refrigerant circulates as follows: main cab evaporator 4 → low-pressure pipe 1 (17) → tee connector 2 (7) → low-pressure pipe 2 (18) → compressor 1 → high-pressure pipe 1 (10) → condenser 2 → high-pressure pipe 2 (11) → reservoir 3 → high-pressure pipe 3 (12) → tee connector 1 (6) → high-pressure pipe 4 (13) → solenoid valve 1 (8) → high-pressure pipe 5 (14) → main cab evaporator 4, completing one operating cycle. The dotted line represents the inactive portion.

[0028] Referring to input 3, when the air conditioning in the passenger compartment is operating, solenoid valve 2 (9) is energized, connecting high-pressure pipe 6 (15) and high-pressure pipe 7 (16). Solenoid valve 1 (8) is de-energized, closing high-pressure pipe 4 (13) and high-pressure pipe 5 (14). At this point, the air conditioning refrigerant circulates as follows: passenger compartment evaporator 5 → low-pressure pipe 3 (19) → tee connector 2 (7) → low-pressure pipe 2 (18) → compressor 1 → high-pressure pipe 1 (10) → condenser 2 → high-pressure pipe 2 (11) → reservoir 3 → high-pressure pipe 3 (12) → tee connector 1 (6) → high-pressure pipe 6 (15) → solenoid valve 2 (9) → high-pressure pipe 7 (16) → passenger compartment evaporator 5, completing one operating cycle. The dotted line represents the inactive portion.

[0029] It is understandable that the inlet and outlet of the main cab evaporator 4 are provided with a one-way valve;

[0030] The inlet and outlet of the passenger compartment evaporator 5 are provided with a one-way valve.

[0031] Specifically, the one-way valve at the inlet of the main cab evaporator 4 allows the refrigerant to enter the main cab evaporator 4 only through the high-pressure pipe, and the one-way valve at the outlet of the main cab evaporator 4 allows the refrigerant to enter the low-pressure pipe only through the main cab evaporator 4. The one-way valve at the inlet of the passenger cab evaporator 5 allows the refrigerant to enter the passenger cab evaporator 5 only through the high-pressure pipe, and the one-way valve at the outlet of the passenger cab evaporator 5 allows the refrigerant to enter the low-pressure pipe only through the passenger cab evaporator 5.

[0032] It can be understood that the solenoid valve 1 8 and the solenoid valve 2 9 are normally closed solenoid valves.

[0033] Specifically, when the air conditioners in the two cabs are not working, the two solenoid valves are in a closed state; when one of the solenoid valves is working, the other solenoid valve is in a closed state, which can ensure that only one refrigerant is circulated.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
