Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle heating technology, specifically relating to a vehicle heating system and a bus. Background Technology
[0002] In the interior design of passenger vehicles, the heating system is a commonly used device. Its main function is to regulate the temperature inside the carriage, aiming to create a warm and comfortable riding environment for passengers.
[0003] In the heating system, coolant that has absorbed heat from the engine flows through the heater core, transferring the heat it carries to the air inside. The heated air is then blown into the vehicle by the heater fan, thus raising the interior temperature. This process makes full use of the heat generated by the engine, providing passengers with a warm and comfortable riding environment.
[0004] However, traditional heating systems, limited by the vehicle's structure, typically install the heater core on the interior side of the passenger compartment. This layout inevitably encroaches on legroom, hindering foot movement and affecting passenger comfort. Furthermore, due to the design of the heating system's vents, warm air often blows directly onto passengers' feet, potentially reducing the overall passenger experience and negatively impacting comfort. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle heating system and bus, which solves the technical problems of existing heating systems occupying the space under the passengers' feet, hindering foot movement, affecting the comfort of stepping down, and resulting in a low riding experience and poor comfort.

[0007] car;
[0008] The footrest is stepped and installed at the rear interior of the carriage;
[0009] A set of high-level seats are arranged side by side on the top surface of the highest step of the footrest;
[0010] Multiple sets of low-level seats are spaced apart along the length of the carriage and are located on the top surface of other steps of the footrest and on the top surface of the floor of the carriage, with an aisle between each set of low-level seats;
[0011] The equipment compartment is long and narrow, and is horizontally positioned in front of the lowest step of the footrest, with an air outlet in front of it located in the passageway.
[0012] The heater box is installed inside the equipment compartment and corresponds to the air outlet.
[0013] This application avoids occupying the space under passengers' feet, does not obstruct their foot movement, ensures their comfort, and prevents warm air from blowing directly onto their feet, thus guaranteeing the overall passenger experience and improving passenger comfort. It also allows the warm air to be evenly and effectively distributed to all corners of the carriage, avoids taking up extra space, and makes the interior space layout more reasonable and efficient.

[0039] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed description of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0040] Example:
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a vehicle heating system for regulating the temperature inside the vehicle compartment and creating a warm and comfortable riding environment for passengers. Its specific structure includes: a vehicle compartment 1, a footrest 2, a set of high-level seats 3, multiple sets of low-level seats 4, an equipment compartment 6, and a heater box 7.
[0042] Carriage 1 is designed to provide passengers with a closed travel environment.
[0043] The step platform 2 is stepped and installed at the rear of the interior of the carriage 1, which facilitates passengers to go to each seat in the carriage 1 and makes effective use of the interior space of the carriage 1. It is preferably set to two steps, but it is not limited to this and can be more than that. No specific limitation is made.
[0044] A set of high-level seats 3 are arranged side by side on the top surface of the highest step of the footrest 2, which increases the number of passengers that can be carried; preferably, there are four, but not limited to this, and other numbers are also possible, without limitation.
[0045] Multiple sets of low-level seats 4 are spaced apart along the length of the carriage 1 and are located on the top surface of other steps of the footrest 2 and the floor of the carriage 1. Each set of low-level seats 4 has an aisle 5 between them, which facilitates the free movement of passengers in the carriage 1.
[0046] For example, each group of low-level seats 4 has three seats, and in each group of low-level seats 4, one low-level seat 4 is spaced apart from the other two low-level seats 4 to form an aisle 5; but it is not limited to this, and there may be more, without specific limitation.
[0047] The equipment compartment 6 is long and narrow, and is horizontally positioned in front of the lowest step of the footrest 2, with an air outlet 61 located in the passageway 5 at the front.
[0048] The heater box 7 is installed in the equipment compartment 6 and corresponds to the air outlet 61. It is used to heat the air and send it into the carriage 1, thereby providing passengers with a warm and comfortable travel environment.
[0049] The above technical solution has the following technical effects:
[0050] By designing the equipment compartment 6 into a long strip shape and placing it horizontally in front of the lowest step of the footrest 2, it is equivalent to adding a step to the footrest 2, which allows passengers to get on and off the vehicle more smoothly, and avoids occupying the space under the passengers' feet, does not hinder the passengers' foot movement, and ensures the comfort of the passengers when they step down.
[0051] By providing an air outlet 61 at the front of the equipment compartment 6 and within the aisle 5, the warm air is prevented from blowing directly onto the passengers' feet, thus ensuring the overall passenger experience, improving passenger comfort, and allowing the warm air to be evenly and effectively distributed to every corner of the carriage 1.
[0052] By installing the heater box 7 inside the equipment compartment 6 and aligning it with the air outlet 61, it avoids taking up extra space, making the interior space layout more reasonable and efficient. It also hides and protects the heater box 7, extending its service life. Furthermore, it helps reduce airflow resistance, improves work efficiency, and makes the maintenance and repair of the heater box 7 more convenient, without requiring large-scale disassembly of the interior of the compartment 1.
[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes:
[0054] The luggage compartment 8, installed inside the footrest 2, provides additional storage space for storing luggage, backpacks and other items, improving the utilization of the interior space of the carriage 1 and enhancing passenger comfort.
[0055] The above-mentioned design facilitates the placement and retrieval of luggage, improves the utilization rate of the interior space of carriage 1, and enhances the comfort of passengers.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top surface of the equipment compartment 6 is lower than the top surface of the lowest step of the footrest 2, which makes it easier for passengers to step on the equipment compartment 6 while riding, without feeling leg discomfort or restriction due to the presence of the equipment compartment 6, thus improving the comfort of riding.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes:
[0058] The air guide plate 9 is installed in front of the equipment compartment 6 and located at the bottom of the air outlet 61.
[0059] By setting the air guide plate 9, the warm air can be guided to flow obliquely upward, thereby preventing the warm air from being absorbed by the ground or blocked by the seat in front, increasing the distance the warm air is blown out, and improving the efficiency of the warm air.
[0060] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the air guide plate 9 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the air outlet 61, which allows the air guide plate 9 to flexibly adjust the air guiding angle.
[0061] The above settings allow passengers or drivers to control the direction and distribution of warm air by adjusting the angle of the air deflector 9, thereby further improving the comfort of the ride.
[0062] This application also discloses a bus, including the above-described vehicle heating system.
