[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not require that this utility model be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. The terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the description of this utility model refer to the directions shown in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0037] This utility model provides a stackable logistics device for automotive HVAC assemblies, consisting of several device bodies stacked vertically. Each device body is composed of an upper body 1 and a lower body 2 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The shape and structure of the device body are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The top surface of the lower body 2 is recessed inward to form a cavity, and the bottom surface of the upper body 1 is recessed inward to form a corresponding cavity. The automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3 is housed within the cavity constructed by the cavity and its corresponding cavity. The shapes and structures of the lower body 2 and the upper body 1 are as follows. Figures 2 to 6 As shown. Each lower body 2 has at least two cavities on its top surface, which are centrally symmetrically distributed to ensure that the center of gravity of each appliance body is centered and to prevent tipping during storage and transportation. In this embodiment, the top surface of the lower body 2 is provided with two centrally symmetrically distributed cavities.

[0038] The front and rear structures of the automotive HVAC assembly 3 are as follows: Figure 7 , 8As shown, the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3 includes an air intake duct 31, a blower 32, an evaporator 33, an air outlet 34, and a drain pipe 35 connected in sequence. A first refrigerant conduit 361 and a second refrigerant conduit 362 are connected to the evaporator 33. Refrigerant clamps 381 are attached to the ends of the two refrigerant conduits, and the drain pipe clamp 382 is located at the end of the blower 32. An electrical control interface 39 is located at the bottom edge of the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3, and several mounting clamps 37 are located at the rear of the assembly. Among these components, the air intake duct 31, refrigerant conduit, and drain pipe 35 are hollow structures with low inherent strength, making them prone to deformation and damage under pressure. The drain pipe clamp 382 is located at the end of the blower 32 and protrudes significantly, making it prone to bending under external force. In actual storage and transportation operations, the air intake duct 31, refrigerant conduit, drain pipe 35, and drain pipe clamp 382 have a high damage rate and are all easily damaged components.

[0039] In view of the above-mentioned structural characteristics of the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3, this utility model adopts a housing method with the aforementioned vulnerable parts facing upwards, specifically as follows: Figure 9 The diagram shows the housing configuration of the automotive HVAC assembly. Based on this configuration, the vulnerable components of the automotive HVAC assembly 3 face upwards, with their ends housed within the cavity of the upper body 1, thus preventing damage due to supporting forces. The remaining components of the automotive HVAC assembly 3 are housed within the cavity of the lower body 2. The external structure of the automotive HVAC assembly 3 housed within the lower body 2 is as follows... Figures 10 to 12 As shown.

[0040] To ensure the 3-button operation of the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly Figure 9 The vehicle is securely placed within the cavity of the lower body 2 in the indicated posture, preventing lateral stress on the automotive HVAC assembly 3 due to instability. A support base corresponding to the recessed portion of the automotive HVAC assembly 3 in its receiving posture is provided on the bottom surface of the cavity. Figure 9 As shown in the diagram, the aforementioned bottom recess includes the sidewalls of the blower 32 and mounting clamp 37 of the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3. The corresponding support includes the blower support 24 and the mounting clamp support 26, ensuring that the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3 has a stable placement posture and preventing tilting due to uneven bottom surface. Furthermore, the cavity is adapted to the lower shape of the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3 in its receiving posture, thereby better stabilizing the receiving posture of the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3 and ensuring that the aforementioned vulnerable components are all located in their corresponding positions within the cavity.

[0041] Depend on Figure 9As shown in the diagram, the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3 has several side protrusions in its housed position, including an electrical control interface 39, a drain pipe 35, and an air intake duct 31. To prevent these side protrusions from being damaged by the inner wall of the cavity of the lower body 2, the sides of the cavity are provided with clearance grooves corresponding to the side protrusions, including an electrical control clearance groove 22, a drain pipe clearance groove 23, and an air intake duct clearance groove 25.

[0042] To fully compress the vertical dimensions of each appliance body, thereby storing a larger number of automotive air conditioning (HVAC) assemblies 3 within a limited space, this utility model adopts targeted design improvements. Firstly, the bottom surface of the upper body 1 cavity is provided with a second through groove 42 corresponding to the end of the aforementioned vulnerable component; that is, the end of the aforementioned vulnerable component penetrates the cavity of the upper body 1 and is further accommodated upwards into the second through groove 42. Specifically, as follows... Figure 13 As shown. It should be noted that the drain pipe 35 in this embodiment is a rubber hose, which bends under its own weight, thus... Figure 13 The image was not displayed. Secondly, the bottom surface of the cavity of the lower body 2 is provided with a first through groove 4 corresponding to the end of the vulnerable component. That is, when multiple appliance bodies are stacked, the end of the vulnerable component of the automotive air conditioning HVAC assembly 3 in the lower appliance body, after passing through the cavity of the upper body 1 and the second through groove 42, is further accommodated in the first through groove 4 of the upper lower body 2.

[0043] To ensure a stable connection and positioning between the adjacent upper body 1 and lower body 2, the top surface of the lower body 2 is provided with an outwardly protruding limiting post 21, and the bottom surface of the upper body 1 is recessed inward to form a limiting groove 11 that matches the limiting post 21. When the upper body 1 is placed on the lower body 2, the limiting post 21 is precisely embedded in the limiting groove 11. At the same time, to facilitate the operator to remove the upper body 1 from the lower body 2, the top surface of the lower body 2 and / or the bottom surface of the upper body 1 are recessed inward to form a lifting groove 13 that communicates with the outside of the appliance body.

[0044] To ensure a stable connection and positioning between adjacent appliance bodies, the bottom surface of the lower body 2 is provided with an outwardly protruding stacking limiting platform 28, and the top surface of the upper body 1 is recessed inward to form a stacking limiting groove 12 that matches the stacking limiting platform 28. When multiple appliance bodies are stacked, the stacking limiting platform 28 of the upper appliance body fits perfectly into the stacking limiting groove 12 of the lower appliance body. Simultaneously, to reduce material usage, the stacking limiting platform 28 of the lower body 2 is recessed inward to form several grooves 41. It should be noted that the aforementioned first through groove 4 and second through groove 42, while fulfilling their respective functions, also contribute to reducing material usage. In this embodiment, the grooves 41 are further recessed inward to form the first through groove 4.

[0045] To further ensure the stability of stacked equipment, it is usually necessary to use fixing straps to tie the logistics equipment vertically. For this purpose, the side of the lower body 2 is recessed inward to form a fixing strap limiting groove 27 that is connected to the lower body 2. The fixing strap is limited within the fixing strap limiting groove 27, thereby preventing lateral sliding.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
