[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the utility model discloses an automobile air conditioner air inlet structure, including ventilation cover plate 1, baffle 2 and air inlet pipe 3, the one side of ventilation cover plate 1 towards inside the car is used to form cavity 4 with gutter 8, the ventilation cover plate 1 is equipped with the ventilation hole 101 that communicates with the cavity 4, baffle 2 can be closed and open and cover and set at the ventilation hole 101, one end of air inlet pipe 3 communicates with the cavity 4, and the other end is used to be located at the rear of cabin cooling module 9, the cavity 4 is used for communicating with air conditioner air inlet.

[0033] Specifically, the ventilation cover plate 1 can be located between the automobile engine cover plate and the front windshield 11, and the ventilation cover plate 1 is inclined from the upper rear of the vehicle to the lower front of the vehicle, and the ventilation cover plate 1 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle, i.e., the Y direction. The ventilation holes 101 on the ventilation cover plate 1 can be of any shape, and the number of the ventilation holes 101 is not limited.

[0034] The gutter 8 includes groove side plates 801 and a groove bottom plate 802. The two groove side plates 801 are arranged opposite to each other in the up-down direction, and the ends of the two groove side plates 801 towards the rear of the vehicle are connected to the groove bottom plate 802. The size of the upper groove side plate 801 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is smaller than the size of the lower groove side plate 801 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The ventilation cover plate 1 is arranged at the groove opening of the gutter 8, and the ventilation cover plate 1 is inclined from the upper rear of the vehicle to the lower front of the vehicle. The upper end of the ventilation cover plate 1 is connected to the end of the upper groove side plate 801 away from the groove bottom plate 802, and the lower end of the ventilation cover plate 1 is connected to the end of the lower groove side plate 801 away from the groove bottom plate 802. In this way, the cavity 4 is formed between the ventilation cover plate 1 and the gutter 8.

[0035] The cabin cooling module 9 is installed on the cabin floor 14, and the cabin cooling module 9, the cooling pipeline on the automobile driving motor and the cooling pipeline on the battery are connected to each other to form a cooling circulation system. The cooling liquid circulates in the pipeline to cool the automobile driving motor, the battery and other equipment, so as to prevent the automobile driving motor, the battery and other equipment from being damaged due to high temperature. That is, the hot air near the cabin cooling module 9 mainly comes from the heat generated by the automobile driving motor, the battery and other equipment. Since the cabin is relatively closed, the air near the cabin cooling module 9 is relatively high in temperature compared with the ambient temperature.

[0036] The rear of the cabin cooling module 9 is generally high in temperature. In addition, the ventilation cover plate 1 and the rainwater groove 8 are located above the rear of the cabin cooling module 9, that is, the cavity 4 formed by the ventilation cover plate 1 and the rainwater groove 8 is close to the rear surface of the cabin cooling module 9. Therefore, by connecting one end of the air inlet pipe 3 to the cavity 4 and locating the other end of the air inlet pipe 3 at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9, the air inlet pipe 3 can be short, and the hot air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9 can be more efficiently introduced into the cavity 4 through the air inlet pipe 3.

[0037] In the present embodiment, when the ambient temperature is lower than a set temperature (the set temperature can be a temperature that is comfortable to the human body, such as 25℃) and the temperature in the passenger cabin is lower than the temperature of the air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9, the shielding plate 2 can cover the ventilation hole 101 on the ventilation cover plate 1. At this time, the air inlet pipe 3 introduces the hot air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9 into the cavity 4 between the ventilation cover plate 1 and the rainwater groove 8. Then, the hot air in the cavity 4 enters the automobile air conditioner air inlet to heat the passenger cabin, so as to ensure the comfort of the driver and the passenger. In other cases, such as when the ambient temperature is higher than the set temperature or the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature but the temperature in the passenger cabin is higher than the temperature of the air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9, the shielding plate 2 can be opened. At this time, the cavity 4 is connected to the outside air through the ventilation hole 101 and connected to the air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9 through the air inlet pipe 3. The ambient air enters the cavity 4 through the ventilation hole 101, and the air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9 enters the cavity 4 through the air inlet pipe 3. The two air flows merge in the cavity 4 and then enter the automobile air conditioner air inlet to ventilate the passenger cabin. By controlling the state of the shielding plate 2, different air conditioning air inlet modes can be realized to meet the use needs in different occasions. Moreover, compared with the scheme of heating the low-temperature ambient air by using a heating device and then sending the heated air into the automobile air conditioner to heat the passenger cabin, the hot air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9 is directly introduced into the cavity 4 by using the air inlet pipe 3 and then sent into the automobile air conditioner, so that the heating time is shorter, and there is no need to additionally set an electric heating device, so that the problem of reducing the cruising range of the automobile by using the battery of the electric automobile to provide energy for the electric heating device does not exist.

[0038] It should be noted that when the baffle 2 covers the air vent 101 of the air vent cover 1, the airflow from the front of the vehicle can flow smoothly along the air vent cover 1 and the baffle 2 to the front windshield 11, reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle and improving the battery mileage of the electric vehicle; when the baffle 2 opens the air vent 101 of the air vent cover 1, the airflow from the front of the vehicle will enter the cavity 4 through the air vent 101, forming a vortex and increasing the wind resistance of the vehicle; therefore, in some cases, in order to improve the battery mileage of the electric vehicle, the baffle 2 can cover the air vent 101.

[0039] In addition, when the baffle 2 covers the air vent 101 of the air vent cover 1, rainwater can be prevented from entering the engine compartment along the air vent 101, the cavity 4 and the air inlet pipe 3, so in some cases, in order to prevent water from entering the vehicle engine compartment, the baffle 2 can cover the air vent 101 to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0040] As shown in Figures 2-6 Optionally, the air inlet structure of the automobile air conditioner further comprises a baffle driving member 5, the baffle 2 is rotationally connected with the air vent cover 1, the baffle driving member 5 is drivingly connected with the baffle 2, and the baffle driving member 5 is used to drive the baffle 2 to rotate relative to the air vent cover 1 to open or cover the air vent 101.

[0041] Specifically, the baffle 2 can be a flat plate, and the baffle driving member 5 can be a baffle motor. Since the air vent cover 1 is inclined from the top rear of the vehicle to the front lower part of the vehicle, when the baffle 2 is arranged at the air vent 101 of the air vent cover 1, the baffle 2 is inclined from the top rear of the vehicle to the front lower part of the vehicle, and the downward end of the baffle 2 can be rotationally connected with the air vent cover 1 about the Y-axis, and the baffle motor can drive the baffle 2 to flip up and down about the rotation axis of the baffle 2 and the air vent cover 1 to open or close the air vent 101. Specifically, when the baffle 2 rotates downward, the air vent 101 can be opened, and when the baffle 2 rotates upward, the air vent 101 can be closed.

[0042] As shown in Figure 7 Optionally, the air inlet structure of the automobile air conditioner further comprises a temperature detection device, which has three first, second and third temperature detection devices 601, 602 and 603, the first temperature detection device 601 is used to detect the ambient temperature, the second temperature detection device 602 is used to detect the temperature of the air behind the engine compartment cooling module 9, and the third temperature detection device 603 is used to detect the temperature of the passenger compartment, the baffle driving member 5 is signal connected with the three temperature detection devices, and is configured to actuate the baffle 2 according to the detection information of the three temperature detection devices.

[0043] Specifically, the temperature detection device can be a temperature sensor, and the full name of the vehicle control unit 12 in English is Vehicle Control Unit, namely VCU, which can be used to monitor and manage the powertrain control, driving state control and other aspects of the vehicle, and is originally provided in the automobile. The first temperature detection device 601, the second temperature detection device 602, the third temperature detection device 603 and the shielding plate driving member 5 can be in communication connection with the vehicle control unit 12. The first temperature detection device 601 can be installed behind the front bumper or behind the front grille of the automobile, and will not be affected by the heat source of the vehicle itself, and can accurately detect the external environment temperature; the second temperature detection device 602 can be arranged at the rear of the engine compartment cooling module 9; and the third temperature detection device 603 can be installed near the center console, which can conveniently detect the passenger compartment temperature.

[0044] In the embodiment, the first temperature detection device 601, the second temperature detection device 602 and the third temperature detection device 603 send the detected temperature signals to the vehicle control unit 12, the vehicle control unit 12 compares the environment temperature with the set temperature, if the environment temperature is higher than the set temperature, the shielding plate driving member 5 drives the shielding plate 2 to move to open the air vent 101; if the environment temperature is lower than the set temperature, the passenger compartment temperature is compared with the temperature of the air at the rear of the engine compartment cooling module 9, if the passenger compartment temperature is lower than the temperature of the air at the rear of the engine compartment cooling module 9, the shielding plate driving member 5 drives the shielding plate 2 to move to cover the air vent 101, if the passenger compartment temperature is higher than the temperature of the air at the rear of the engine compartment cooling module 9, the shielding plate driving member 5 drives the shielding plate 2 to move to open the air vent 101.

[0045] As shown in Figure 8 Optionally, the automobile air conditioner air inlet structure further comprises a voice recognition device 7, the voice recognition device 7 is used for recognizing the voice instruction of the user, and the shielding plate driving member 5 is in signal connection with the voice recognition device 7 and is configured to make the shielding plate 2 act according to the voice instruction recognized by the voice recognition device 7.

[0046] Specifically, the voice recognition device 7 can be a voice sensor, and the full name of the air conditioner controller 13 in English is Comfort Control Module. The voice recognition device 7 and the shielding plate driving member 5 can be in communication connection with the air conditioner controller 13. The voice recognition device 7 can be arranged in the passenger compartment.

[0047] In the embodiment, the user, i.e. the occupant in the vehicle, issues a voice control instruction, such as opening the air conditioning warm air or ventilation, the voice recognition device 7 recognizes the relevant instruction and transmits it to the air conditioning controller 13, and the air conditioning controller 13 drives the shutter driving member 5 to drive the shutter 2 to move to open or close the air vent 101. For example, when the voice instruction of opening the air conditioning warm air is issued, the air conditioning controller 13 drives the shutter driving member 5 to drive the shutter 2 to close the air vent 101.

[0048] It should be noted that the priority of the voice control instruction recognized by the voice recognition device 7 is higher than the temperature judgment control logic described above, i.e. after the user issues the voice control instruction, regardless of whether the ambient temperature at this time is higher than the set temperature or lower than the set temperature, and whether the temperature in the passenger compartment is lower than the temperature of the air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9 or higher than the temperature of the air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9, the air conditioning controller 13 drives the shutter driving member 5 to drive the shutter 2 to open and close according to the voice control instruction of the user.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1-2 Optionally, one end of the air inlet pipe 3 away from the cavity 4 extends towards the lower side of the vehicle and is arranged close to the wheel cover 10.

[0050] Specifically, the cabin cooling module 9 is located at the front side of the front wheel cover 10, the air inlet pipe 3 can be a bent pipe arranged substantially vertically, the upper end of the air inlet pipe 3 is in communication with the cavity 4, and the lower end is located at the rear side of the cabin cooling module 9 and points to the surrounding of the front wheel cover 10, specifically, it can point to the front end arc surface of the front wheel cover 10, and the air inlet pipe 3 can be used as a drain pipe. Specifically, when the ambient temperature is higher than the set temperature, or although the ambient temperature is lower than the set temperature but the temperature in the passenger compartment is higher than the temperature of the air at the rear of the cabin cooling module 9, the air vent 101 is in an open state, at this time, if it rains, the rainwater will enter the cavity 4 from the air vent 101, and by arranging one end of the air inlet pipe 3 away from the cavity 4 to extend towards the lower side of the vehicle and close to the wheel cover 10, the rainwater can flow downwards along the wheel cover 10 to the external environment after being guided downwards by the air inlet pipe 3, avoiding the rainwater in the cavity 4 from entering the cabin interior along the air inlet pipe 3 and damaging the related equipment. In this way, the cavity 4 does not need to be additionally provided with a drain pipe, reducing the cost.

[0051] As shown in Figures 1-2 Optionally, two air inlet pipes 3 are arranged, and the two air inlet pipes 3 are respectively located at the two ends of the cavity 4 along the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0052] Specifically, the ventilation cover plate 1 and the rainwater groove 8 are arranged to extend along the left-right direction of the vehicle, that is, the cavity 4 enclosed by the ventilation cover plate 1 and the rainwater groove 8 also extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle. By arranging two air inlet pipes 3 at the left and right ends of the cavity 4, the air inlet efficiency can be improved. When the air inlet pipe 3 is used as a drain pipe, the water can be drained faster.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1 Optionally, the ventilation hole 101 is a grating hole, and the shielding plate 2 is located on the side of the ventilation cover plate 1 facing the vehicle interior.

[0054] Specifically, the ventilation cover plate 1 has a ventilation area, the ventilation area is provided with a ventilation hole 101, and the shielding plate 2 can be a square plate. The shielding plate 2 can completely cover the ventilation area.

[0055] The ventilation hole 101 is a grating hole, that is, the ventilation hole 101 includes a plurality of spaced-apart elongated holes. By arranging the shielding plate 2 on the side of the ventilation cover plate 1 facing the vehicle interior instead of protruding from the ventilation cover plate 1, the outer surface of the ventilation cover plate 1 is smoother, which is conducive to reducing the wind resistance during driving of the vehicle and improving the external appearance of the vehicle. In addition, the shielding plate 2 is located on the side of the ventilation cover plate 1 facing the vehicle interior, that is, on the side of the ventilation cover plate 1 facing the inside of the cavity 4. At this time, the ventilation cover plate 1 is rotated towards the inside of the cavity 4 to open the ventilation hole 101. In this way, on the one hand, the shielding plate 2 can be prevented from being rotated towards the outside of the cavity 4 to interfere with other structures. On the other hand, the shielding plate 2 rotated into the cavity 4 can act as a wind guide structure to guide the airflow into the inside of the cavity 4.

[0056] Optionally, the automobile air conditioner air inlet structure further comprises a sealing member. When the shielding plate 2 is arranged at the ventilation hole 101, the shielding plate 2 is in sealing contact with the ventilation cover plate 1 through the sealing member.

[0057] Specifically, the sealing member can be a sealing ring, and the circumferential edge of the shielding plate 2 can be provided with a sealing groove. The sealing member is arranged in the sealing groove. When the shielding plate 2 is arranged at the ventilation hole 101, the shielding plate 2 is in sealing contact with the part of the ventilation cover plate 1 around the ventilation hole 101 through the sealing member. This ensures that the shielding plate 2 can completely block the ventilation hole 101, and external air and rainwater cannot enter the cavity 4 from the installation gap between the shielding plate 2 and the ventilation cover plate 1.

[0058] Optionally, the rainwater groove 8 comprises groove side plates 801 and a groove bottom plate 802. The two groove side plates 801 are arranged opposite to each other in the up-down direction, and the groove bottom plate 802 is connected between the ends of the two groove side plates 801 facing the rear of the vehicle. The ends of the two groove side plates 801 away from the groove bottom plate 802 are connected with the two ends of the ventilation cover plate 1, respectively, to enclose the cavity 4.
