Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning water recycling devices, and in particular to an air conditioning water recycling device for vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese utility model patent CN208885380U relates to an auxiliary cooling system for an automobile engine, belonging to the field of engine heat dissipation. It includes an air conditioning water recovery system, comprising a circulating water pump and a circulating water pipe. A spray bottle is located on the right side of the system, with the right end of the circulating water pipe inserted into it. A cooling water pump is installed at the bottom of the spray bottle, and a cooling water pipe is fixedly connected to the pump, extending through the spray bottle to its outer side. The end of the cooling water pipe away from the pump is connected to a copper tube radiator via a flange. A delayed power-off switch is fixedly connected to the side wall of the end of the cooling water pipe closest to the radiator. A water spray hose is also connected to the other end of the radiator via a flange. An air conditioning evaporator is installed at the lower end of the radiator, and a thermostat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water spray hose. This system assists in engine cooling and improves engine heat dissipation. However, the air conditioning water recycling system in this utility model does not have a liquid level sensor, so it cannot monitor the changes in the liquid level of the air conditioning water recycling tank in real time. Therefore, this air conditioning water recycling system is prone to causing the circulating water pump in the air conditioning water recycling tank to fail to extract the recycled air conditioning water in time, resulting in the adverse consequence of water overflow. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problem of overflowing air conditioning water in existing automotive air conditioning water recycling systems due to untimely extraction of recycled air conditioning water by the circulating water pump, this invention provides an air conditioning water recycling device for vehicles, comprising an air conditioning water recycling container, a first liquid level sensor, a power on / off controller, a water pump, and a water pump operating time controller. The first liquid level sensor and the water pump are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the air conditioning water recycling container. One end of the first liquid level sensor is connected to the water pump via a fourth wire and is equipped with the water pump operating time controller. The other end of the first liquid level sensor is connected to the power on / off controller via a first wire.
[0004] Furthermore, the container includes an inlet pipe, which is mounted on the top of the air conditioning water recovery container and is used to connect to the air conditioning drain pipe.
[0005] Furthermore, it includes a water outlet pipe, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the water outlet of the water pump and the top of the water container.
[0006] Furthermore, it includes a second liquid level sensor, which is installed on the top side of the water container and is connected to the power-on / off controller via a second wire.
[0007] Furthermore, it includes a power supply, which is connected to the power-on / off controller via a third wire.
[0008] This invention uses a first liquid level sensor to monitor the level of the recycled water in the air conditioning water recycling container in real time. When the level of the recycled water in the container reaches the position of the first liquid level sensor, the power supply is controlled by the power-on / off controller to supply power to the water pump and the water pump working time controller is used to start the water pump. At this time, the recycled water is pumped out by the water pump and transported to the water container through the outlet pipe. When the water pump working time reaches the set time of the water pump working time controller, the water pump automatically stops pumping water, thereby ensuring that the level of the recycled water in the air conditioning water recycling container is always at a safe level, avoiding the water pump from working without water, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of water overflow, and realizing the effective recycling, transportation and reuse of air conditioning water.
[0009] Furthermore, this invention uses a second liquid level sensor to monitor the water level in the water container in real time. When the water level in the water container reaches the position of the second liquid level sensor after being pumped and recycled by the water pump, the second liquid level sensor controls the power supply to stop supplying power to the first liquid level sensor and the water pump via a power-on / off controller. At this time, both the first liquid level sensor and the water pump stop working, thus ensuring that the water supply stops when the water container is full. This maintains a safe water level, effectively preventing overflow and achieving effective recycling, transportation, and reuse of air conditioning water.
[0010] The capacity of the air conditioning water recovery container and the pump operating time in the pump operating time controller can both be set according to the air conditioning water flow rate of various vehicles.
[0011] Furthermore, a waterproof vibration baffle is included, which is disposed on the upper part of the air conditioning water recovery container and near the lower part of the first liquid level sensor. The waterproof vibration baffle can effectively prevent the recovered water in the air conditioning water recovery container from splashing onto the first liquid level sensor due to vibration or shaking when the water level is lower than the position of the first liquid level sensor, thereby affecting the normal monitoring of the recovered water level by the first liquid level sensor.
[0012] Furthermore, a filter screen is provided at the inlet of the water pump (6).
[0013] The filter screen can effectively purify recycled water.
[0014] Furthermore, it includes a drain outlet, which is disposed on the upper part of the air conditioning water recovery container and located above the first liquid level sensor.
[0015] The drain outlet can automatically drain water when the water level in the air conditioning water recovery container is too high.
[0016] Furthermore, it includes a dust cap, which is installed at the outer end of the drain outlet.
[0017] The dust cap can effectively prevent fine particles such as dust in the atmosphere from entering the air conditioning water recycling container, ensuring that the recycled water is not polluted by the external atmosphere.
[0018] Furthermore, the power on / off controller is installed on the outer wall of the air conditioning water recovery container or the water container.
[0019] Furthermore, the water container is a glass water container.
[0020] This invention can be widely applied to various vehicles equipped with air conditioning, and the recovered air conditioning water can be transported to water containers such as glass water containers for effective reuse. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms and nouns in the various embodiments, such as "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", and "right", which indicate the location, are only used to simplify the description of the positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings. They do not mean that the components and devices referred to must be operated in accordance with the specific location and limited operation and method or structure in the specification. Such directional terms do not constitute a limitation on this utility model.
[0026] This utility model provides an air conditioning water recycling device for transportation vehicles, such as... Figure 1As shown, the device includes an air conditioning water recovery container 1, a first liquid level sensor 5, a power on / off controller 8, a water pump 6, and a water pump operating time controller 13. The first liquid level sensor 5 and the water pump 6 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the air conditioning water recovery container 1. One end of the first liquid level sensor 5 is connected to the water pump 6 through a fourth wire 17 and is equipped with the water pump operating time controller 13. The other end of the first liquid level sensor 5 is connected to the power on / off controller 8 through a first wire 14.
[0027] Optionally, the system includes a water inlet pipe 4, which is mounted on the top of the air conditioning water recovery container 1 and is used to connect to the air conditioning drain pipe.
[0028] Optionally, it includes a water outlet pipe 12, the two ends of which are connected to the water outlet of the water pump 6 and the top of the water container 10, respectively.
[0029] Optionally, a second liquid level sensor 11 is included, which is installed on the top side of the water container 10 and is connected to the power on / off controller 8 via a second wire 15.
[0030] Optionally, a power supply 9 is included, which is connected to the power on / off controller 8 via a third wire 16.
[0031] In this embodiment, the level of the recycled water in the air conditioning water recycling container 1 is monitored in real time by the first liquid level sensor 5. When the level of the recycled water in the air conditioning water recycling container 1 reaches the position of the first liquid level sensor 5, the power supply 9 is controlled by the power on / off controller 8 to supply power to the water pump 6 and the water pump working time controller 13 is activated to start the water pump 6. At this time, the recycled water is pumped out by the water pump 6 and transported to the water container 10 through the water outlet pipe 12. When the working time of the water pump 6 reaches the set time of the water pump working time controller 13, the water pump 6 automatically stops pumping water, thereby ensuring that the level of the recycled water in the air conditioning water recycling container 1 is always at a safe level, avoiding the water pump from working without water, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of water overflow, and realizing the effective recycling, transportation and reuse of air conditioning water.
[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the water level in the water container 10 is monitored in real time by the second liquid level sensor 11. When the water level in the water container 10 reaches the position of the second liquid level sensor 11 after the water pump 6 delivers recycled water, the second liquid level sensor 11 controls the power supply 9 to stop supplying power to the first liquid level sensor 5 and the water pump 6 through the power on / off controller 8. At this time, the first liquid level sensor 5 and the water pump 6 both stop working, thereby ensuring that the water level in the water container 10 is always at a safe level. When the water level is full, the water supply is stopped, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of overflow. This realizes the effective recycling, transportation and reuse of air conditioning water.
[0033] The capacity of the air conditioning water recycling container 1 and the pump operating time in the pump operating time controller 13 can both be set according to the air conditioning water flow rate of various vehicles.
[0034] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a waterproof vibration baffle 2, which is disposed on the upper part of the air conditioning water recovery container 1 and below the first liquid level sensor 5.
[0035] The waterproof vibration baffle 2 can effectively prevent the recycled water in the air conditioning water recycling container 1 from splashing onto the first liquid level sensor 5 due to vibration or shaking when the water level is lower than the first liquid level sensor 5, thereby affecting the normal monitoring of the recycled water level by the first liquid level sensor 5.
[0036] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a filter screen 7, which is disposed at the inlet of the water pump 6.
[0037] Filter 7 can effectively purify recycled air conditioning water.
[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a drain outlet 3, which is located on the upper part of the air conditioning water recovery container 1 and above the first liquid level sensor 5.
[0039] Drain outlet 3 can automatically drain water when the level of the recycled water in the air conditioning water recycling container 1 is too high.
[0040] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a dust cap, which is installed at the outer end of the drain outlet 3.
[0041] The dust cap can effectively prevent fine particles such as dust in the atmosphere from entering the air conditioning water recycling container 1, so as to ensure that the recycled water is not polluted by the external atmospheric environment.
[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power on / off controller 8 is installed on the outer wall of the air conditioning water recycling container 1 or the water container 10.
[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water container 10 is a glass water container.
[0044] This invention can be widely applied to various vehicles equipped with air conditioning. In addition to being transported to glass water containers, the recycled air conditioning water can also be transported to water containers 10 in toilets on trains, airplanes and ships as cleaning water, depending on actual needs.
