[0020] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of this application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0021] The following describes in detail the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] The embodiment of the present application provides a trunk cooling device, such as Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the trunk cooling device according to an embodiment of the present application. The device includes: a pipe 2 and an intelligent device compartment. The pipe 2 connects the cockpit and the intelligent device compartment, or / and connects the cockpit and the trunk or the exterior of the vehicle. The air duct 3 is a non-physical air flow duct between the pipe and the air outlet.
[0023] When the pipeline 2 connects the cockpit and the smart device compartment, the cold air in the cockpit can be brought into the smart device compartment, thereby forming air circulation in the smart device compartment.
[0024] When the pipe 2 is connected to the cabin and the trunk, the cool air in the cabin can be brought into the trunk, thereby forming air circulation in the trunk.
[0025] When the pipe 2 connects the cabin and the outside of the vehicle, it can exhaust the air in the cabin to the outside of the vehicle. In one embodiment of the present application, the pipe includes a first pipe 21 and a third pipe 23. The first pipe 21 receives air from a first air inlet 11 provided in the cabin and discharges the air to the equipment compartment through a first pipe outlet. The third pipe 23 receives air from a third air inlet 13 provided in the cabin and discharges the air to the equipment compartment through a third pipe outlet.
[0026] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The pipe 2 is located in the trunk, connecting the first air inlet 11 and the smart device compartment. The air outlet 4 is opened toward the rear of the vehicle, thus creating air circulation within the trunk. Specifically, the first air inlet 11 draws cold air through the pipe 2 into the smart device compartment. The air is then heated by the heating device in the air duct 3 and discharged through the air outlet 4, removing heat from the trunk. This solves the problem of overheating of the smart device in the trunk, frequent freezes, and low operating efficiency.
[0027] It's important to note that the aforementioned heat dissipation method transfers cool cabin air into the smart device compartment via pipes and exhausts hot air from the trunk through the air outlets. Multiple first air inlets 11 and third air inlets 13 can be provided to increase cooling capacity. Similarly, when adding first and third air inlets 11, 13, multiple air outlets 4 are also added.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 The system uses a multi-channel air duct structure. The first air inlet 11 connects to the first pipe 21 and is discharged through the air outlet 4. The third air inlet 13 connects to the third pipe 23 and is discharged through the air outlet 4. Through these two air ducts, since the air inlet is behind the passenger seat, a fan is used to draw air from the vehicle into the smart device compartment, so that the two pipes directly blow the smart components inside the smart device compartment.
[0029] By adopting a design of multiple air ducts, the hot air in the trunk can be discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the air outlet 4 by the cold air flowing in the air ducts.
[0030] In one embodiment of the present application, the pipeline includes a second pipeline 22 , the second pipeline 22 adopts a spiral air duct, and the second pipeline 22 takes in air from a second air inlet 12 provided in the cabin and exhausts air from a second pipeline outlet 22 .
[0031] Please refer to Figure 2The second air inlet 12 is connected to the spiral air duct and discharged from the second pipe outlet 22. Another air duct is connected to the spiral air duct and placed above the heating hardware. The end of the air duct leads directly to the air outlet. The air outlet is fixed with an exhaust fan connected to the spiral air duct.
[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, the spiral air duct is arranged above or below the heat-generating device in the smart device compartment.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a spiral air duct can be provided above or below the heat generating device, thereby cooling the device while lowering the cabin temperature. The heat generating device can be a smart kit.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, the air ducts can be spliced together.
[0035] The portion of the second pipeline 22 located in the equipment cabin is made of metal pipes with good thermal conductivity, so that it can further dissipate heat to the equipment cabin environment while transmitting cold air; the spiral air duct increases the contact area with the air, which is conducive to further heat dissipation and cooling; the portion located at the air outlet can be made of non-heat-conducting materials to avoid absorbing the external ambient temperature.
[0036] The portion of each air duct located at the equipment compartment air inlet can be made of non-heat-conducting material to reduce reverse transfer of heat to the passenger cabin while maintaining passenger cabin comfort. Furthermore, the portion of each air duct located at the equipment compartment air inlet can be further equipped with a retractable cover to allow for timely opening and closing of the air duct, further preventing reverse transfer of heat from the equipment compartment to the passenger cabin.
[0037] In one embodiment of the present application, the smart device compartment is provided with an air outlet 4, and the air outlet is provided with a fan.
[0038] like Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet 4 is provided with a fan, which can blow the air in the cabin out of the vehicle.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the air outlet 4 leads to the outside of the trunk or outside the vehicle.
[0040] Since the air outlet is communicated with the outside of the vehicle, the hot air in the trunk can be discharged from the rear of the vehicle.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, the air outlet 4 includes multiple air outlets; the second pipe outlet is connected to one of the air outlets.
[0042] In order to achieve better heat dissipation effect, multiple air outlets 4 are used.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, the air inlet 1 is arranged behind the passenger seats in the cabin.
[0044] When the air inlet 1 is arranged behind the passenger seats in the cabin, it can be arranged behind the rear passenger seats or other positions according to the actual size of the cabin.
[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, the air inlet 1 faces the inner side of the cabin.
[0046] In order to improve the heat dissipation effect, the air inlet is directed toward the inner side of the cabin so that the cold air blown out by the air conditioner in the cabin is directly sucked into the trunk.
[0047] A vehicle is also provided in an embodiment of the present application, comprising a trunk cooling device as described, wherein the device comprises: a pipeline and an intelligent device compartment, wherein the pipeline connects the cockpit and the intelligent device compartment, or / and the pipeline connects the cockpit and the trunk or the outside of the vehicle.
[0048] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should all be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
