[0054] like Figure 1As shown, the paving equipment of this utility model includes a paving equipment cab 10 and a paving working component 20. The paving working component 20 is made by those skilled in the art using technology and structure known in the art, and will not be described in detail hereafter. This utility model only describes the new structure of the paving equipment cab 10.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the paving equipment cab 10 of this utility model includes a ceiling 100, support columns 200, and a ventilation structure 400, wherein the ceiling 100 is disposed on top of the support columns 200. The ventilation structure 400 includes a fan 410 and an air conditioner 430, which are respectively disposed inside the cab. This utility model ensures air circulation in the cab by setting up the fan 410 and the air conditioner 430, improving the working comfort of the operator inside the cab, thereby improving work quality and efficiency.

[0056] The fan 410 and air conditioner 430 are connected to the ceiling 100, or to the support column 200, or to the floor of the cockpit or the driver's seat, etc. This invention is not limited to these methods. For example, in one embodiment of this invention... Figure 2 As shown, the fan 410 and air conditioner 430 are connected to the ceiling 100, which saves space and does not hinder the work and activities of the staff. The ceiling 100 is in the raised and lowered state during operation and transportation. In these two states and during the state transition, the air conditioner 430 and fan 410 will not interfere with the surrounding equipment.

[0057] The fan 410 is located at the air outlet of the air conditioner 430. With this configuration, the fan 410 can adjust the cold air blown out by the air conditioner 430 to the desired direction. For example, when the driver is working, the fan 410 blows the cold air blown out by the air conditioner 430 toward the driver's seat, greatly improving the driver's working comfort.

[0058] For example, the fan 410 is located within a 1-meter diameter of the center of the air outlet of the air conditioner 430. Of course, the closer the fan 410 is to the air outlet of the air conditioner 430, the better the effect.

[0059] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, there are two fans 410, installed on both sides of the air conditioner 430, with each fan 410 corresponding to one side of the air outlet of the air conditioner 430. Vertically, the fans 410 protrude downwards to the bottom of the air conditioner 430.

[0060] Among them, such as Figure 3As shown, the fan 410 includes a fan body 411 and a fan mounting assembly 412. The fan mounting assembly 412 is connected to the ceiling 100, and the fan body 411 is connected to the fan mounting assembly 412; that is, the fan body 411 is connected to the ceiling 100 via the fan mounting assembly 412. More specifically, the ceiling 100 has a protruding structure 110, with skylights 120 on both sides of the protruding structure 100. The fan mounting assembly 412 is connected to the protruding structure 110 of the ceiling 100.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the fan mounting assembly 412 includes a U-shaped connecting plate 4121. The U-shaped connecting plate 4121 is connected to the ceiling 100 with a flanged structure, which is firm and reliable. The vertical height of the fan 410 can be adjusted by the depth of the U-shape to meet the fan position installation requirements.

[0062] Furthermore, the U-shaped connecting plate 4121 includes a mounting elongated hole L. The fan body 411 is connected to the U-shaped connecting plate 4121 through the mounting elongated hole L. The mounting elongated hole L extends along one side of the air conditioner 430. The connected fan body 411 can be adjusted in position along one side of the air conditioner 420 to align it with the air outlet of the air conditioner 430, thereby directing more cool airflow in the desired direction. By providing the mounting elongated hole L, this utility model allows for fine-tuning of the position of the fan body 411 within a certain range, so that the fan 410 is aligned with the air outlet of the air conditioner 430 as much as possible.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the fan mounting assembly 412 also includes a threaded plate 4122. The threaded plate 4122 and the fan body 411 are located on both sides of the mounting elongated hole L of the U-shaped connecting plate 4121, and the threaded plate 4122 has threaded connection holes. Fasteners can pass through the mounting elongated hole L and be directly threaded onto the threaded plate 4122, thereby fixing the fan body 411 onto the U-shaped connecting plate 4121. This utility model, by providing a threaded plate 4122 with threaded connection holes, facilitates the direct fastening of bolts and other fasteners used for installing the fan 411, solving the problem of limited space at the bend of the U-shaped connecting plate 4121, which makes installation inconvenient.

[0064] After installing the U-shaped connecting plate 4121 and the fan body 411 on the ceiling 100, the position of the fan body 411 can be finely adjusted by simply loosening the fasteners from below to align it with the air outlet of the air conditioner 430.

[0065] like Figure 6As shown, the fan mounting assembly 412 further includes a transition plate 4123, on which the fan body 411 is connected, and which in turn is connected to a threaded plate 4122. The mounting holes of the fan body 411 are not all the same. By using the transition plate 4123, the transition plate 4123 is mounted on the U-shaped connecting plate 4121 using bolts, screws, and other fasteners along with the threaded plate 4122. Then, the fan body 411 is mounted on the transition plate 4123. This allows fan bodies 411 with different mounting hole sizes to be mounted on the U-shaped connecting plate 4121, which is convenient, quick, and facilitates maintenance and replacement of the fan body 411.

[0066] In some embodiments of this utility model, the ventilation structure 400 further includes a fan control structure, which controls the fan 410 and adjusts the angle of the fan 410 to blow airflow toward the location of the person in the driver's cab, so that the cool air from the air conditioning vent can accurately cool the location of the driver or other personnel, thereby improving the working comfort of the staff.

[0067] In detail, for example, a sensor is installed in the driver's seat. The fan 410 obtains the position of the driver's seat through the sensor, and the fan control structure controls the angle of the fan 410 to blow airflow toward the driver's seat. Alternatively, the fan control structure can control the operating angle of the fan 410. When the position of the fan 410 changes, the fan control structure adjusts the fan 410 back to its operating angle to ensure that the airflow entering through the vent 410 is blown toward the driver's seat.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the fan control structure includes a personnel positioning device 510, which may include, for example, a camera mechanism and / or an infrared mechanism. The camera mechanism captures images through a camera and uses image processing and machine learning algorithms to identify and track the position of personnel inside the cockpit. The infrared mechanism detects infrared radiation emitted by the human body through an infrared sensor to achieve personnel detection.

[0069] The personnel positioning device 510 dynamically captures the position of the staff and transmits the data to the fan position motor 530 via the controller 520. The controller 520 drives the fan position motor 530 according to the captured position of the staff, adjusts the angle of the fan 410, keeps the fan 410 dynamically aligned with the position of the staff, and directs the cold air blown by the air conditioner 430 toward the position of the staff.

[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fan control structure includes a temperature sensor mechanism, which detects the ambient temperature to adjust the swing angle and speed of the fan 410. Thus, when the ambient temperature is high, the fan speed is increased by reducing the swing angle, thereby enhancing the cooling effect.

[0071] It should be noted that the aforementioned camera mechanism, infrared mechanism, and temperature sensor mechanism are implemented using existing control technologies and do not involve any new methods.

[0072] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the paving equipment cab 10 further includes a partition 300, which is connected to the support column 200, or the partition 300 is connected to the roof 100, or the partition 300 is connected to both the roof 100 and the support column 200.

[0073] Compared to other road machinery, paving equipment presents more environmental risks during operation that can affect driver performance. Traditional paver cabs employ an open design, relying solely on a simple roof for protection. While this structure meets basic weather protection needs, the harsh environment exposes the driver to significant amounts of dust and asphalt fumes, negatively impacting health and working conditions. Especially in complex weather or harsh construction environments, driving efficiency is low, increasing the risk of accidents. This invention addresses this by using a roof 100, support pillars 200, and partition plates 300 to form a relatively enclosed outer shell structure for the paver cab 10. This effectively isolates the cab from surrounding environmental influences, protecting it from dust and asphalt fumes. Furthermore, the ventilation structure 400 ensures airflow within the cab, keeping it cool and comfortable.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the ventilation structure 400 also includes a vent 420 for the circulation of air inside and outside the paving equipment cab 10.

[0075] Ventilation vent 420 can be installed on the ceiling 100. More specifically, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the vent 420 is located on the side of the upwardly projecting protrusion 110 of the canopy 100. For example, the protrusion 110 protrudes upward along the front side of the travel direction to form the vent 420, allowing cool airflow from the outside to enter the cab through the vent 420 during the movement of the paving equipment.

[0076] like Figure 8 As shown, the ventilation structure 400 of the paving equipment cab 10 of this utility model also includes a ventilation hole 440 and a ventilation hole opening and closing component for controlling the opening and closing of the ventilation hole 440. The ventilation hole 440 is located on the partition plate 300, that is, on the side of the cab, and its opening and closing are controlled by the ventilation hole opening and closing component. When the side air quality is poor, the ventilation hole 440 is closed, and air exchange between the inside and outside is achieved through the ventilation hole 420 at the top. When the side air quality is good, the ventilation hole 440 is opened, allowing air circulation with the outside environment through both the top and side.

[0077] Furthermore, another fan is provided, and the ventilation vent opening / closing component is connected to the fan control structure. When ventilation vent 440 is open, the fan control structure adjusts the angle of the other fan to direct the airflow entering through ventilation vent 440 towards the driver's seat or other locations. When the airflow entering through some ventilation vents 440 is large, the other fan can be used to directly direct the airflow entering through ventilation vent 440 towards the location of the personnel inside the cockpit. In this case, the other fan can be connected to the protruding structure 110 of the ceiling 100, or to the support column 200 or the partition plate 300.

[0078] Preferably, both the vent 420 and the air exchange hole 440 are equipped with filter components to filter and clean the outdoor air entering the cab, ensuring effective ventilation and dust removal. The filter components are commonly used filter modules in existing technologies.

[0079] In this invention, the partition plate 300 is preferably made of a heat-insulating outer shell material. The partition plate 300 can be fixed to the support column 200 using rivets, bolts, or other methods. It can also be equipped with an openable door for easy access by workers. Alternatively, the partition plate 300 can be fixed to the support column 200 using a snap-fit ​​or other easily disassembled structure. This invention provides workers with a comfortable and easier-to-drive working space, which is beneficial for improving the engineering quality and safety of paving equipment.

[0080] like Figure 9 As shown, the fan 410 of this invention has a first angle adjustment structure 413 and a second angle adjustment structure 414. The fan body 411 is connected to the ceiling 100 via the first angle adjustment structure 413 and the second angle adjustment structure 414. The fan control structure is connected to the first angle adjustment structure 413 and the second angle adjustment structure 414 to adjust the angle of the fan body 411. Specifically, the first angle adjustment structure 413 adjusts the rotation of the fan body 411 in the XY plane, and the second angle adjustment structure 414 adjusts the rotation of the fan body 411 in the XZ plane. In some cases, this invention can also be adjusted manually.

[0081] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
