Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy refrigerated vehicle technology, and in particular to a refrigeration unit for a new energy commercial modified refrigerated vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of cold chain transportation, refrigerated trucks are commonly converted from new energy vehicles, especially the Chery Karry Jiangtun E7 and Foton EV series. In the current market, refrigeration units of refrigerated trucks converted from the above-mentioned new energy vehicle series include an indoor unit assembly located inside the truck body and an outdoor unit assembly located outside the truck body. There are usually two ways to install the outdoor unit assembly. The first is to integrate the refrigeration outdoor unit assembly into one piece and set it on the roof or under the chassis of the refrigerated truck, such as the Shanghai Maxus van refrigerated truck and Jinbei van refrigerated truck. The second is to disassemble the refrigeration outdoor unit assembly into individual parts and install them separately in various parts of the vehicle body.
[0003] However, designing the integrated outdoor unit as a single unit results in a large volume, and installing it on the roof increases the overall vehicle height, limiting the passageway to and from the cold storage. Furthermore, the outdoor unit's proximity to the driver's cab generates significant noise and vibration. Under the chassis, due to limitations imposed by the power battery, there is insufficient space to install a composite integrated outdoor unit. On the other hand, dispersing the refrigeration unit components throughout the vehicle body is both disorganized and inconvenient for the storage, transportation, management, maintenance, and testing of numerous parts. Therefore, the convenience of installing and maintaining the refrigeration unit in new energy commercial refrigerated trucks is reduced. Utility Model Content
[0004] To improve the ease of installation and maintenance of refrigeration units for new energy commercial vehicles converted to refrigeration, this utility model provides a refrigeration unit for new energy commercial vehicles converted to refrigeration.
[0005] This application provides a refrigeration unit for a new energy commercial vehicle retrofit refrigeration truck, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A refrigeration unit for a new energy commercial vehicle conversion refrigeration truck includes an inner unit assembly, an outer unit assembly, a piping assembly, and a high-voltage junction box. The inner unit assembly is located inside the insulated compartment of the vehicle body. The outer unit assembly includes an integrated refrigeration component assembly and a condenser. The integrated refrigeration component assembly includes a base and a scroll compressor. The base is located below the chassis of the vehicle body and next to the power battery. The scroll compressor is located on the base. The condenser is located below the chassis of the vehicle body and behind the power battery. The inner unit assembly, the scroll compressor, and the condenser are connected by the piping assembly. The high-voltage junction box is located on a beam below the chassis of the vehicle body. The high-voltage junction box has one input terminal and two output terminals. The input terminal is connected to the high-voltage terminal of the vehicle body's motor controller, and the two output terminals are respectively connected to the scroll compressor and the air conditioning compressor in the driver's cab of the vehicle body.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the outdoor unit assembly is divided into two parts: a refrigeration component integrated assembly and a condenser. These are installed on the side and rear of the power battery under the vehicle chassis, respectively. This does not increase the overall height of the vehicle and facilitates installation and maintenance. The vehicle's motor controller controls the operation of the air conditioning compressor and scroll compressor through a high-voltage junction box located under the vehicle chassis, thereby controlling the working status of the indoor and outdoor unit assemblies. This simplifies the wiring layout and improves the convenience of installing and maintaining the refrigeration unit in new energy commercial refrigerated trucks.
[0008] Optionally, the base is detachably connected to the chassis of the vehicle body via a connecting bracket. The connecting bracket is fixed on the base and extends upward. The top of the connecting bracket is detachably connected to the chassis of the vehicle body. The connecting bracket has a clearance opening for pipes to pass through.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the base and the chassis of the vehicle can be installed and disassembled as a whole through the connecting bracket. At the same time, the pipes used to connect the various components are run through the clearance opening, thereby reducing the probability of messy pipe and wiring harness layout and improving the convenience of outdoor unit assembly installation and maintenance.
[0010] Optionally, it also includes an oil-gas separator and a dryer bottle. The base is provided with a vertically extending mounting bracket. The oil-gas separator and the dryer bottle are vertically spaced on the mounting bracket. The oil-gas separator is connected to the scroll compressor through a pipeline assembly, and the dryer bottle is connected to the condenser and the indoor unit assembly through a pipeline assembly.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the oil-gas separator and dryer bottle are integrated on the base using a mounting bracket, reducing the footprint of the refrigeration unit and facilitating installation and subsequent maintenance.
[0012] Optionally, the mounting bracket has an arc-shaped positioning groove that fits the outer surface of the drying bottle, and the mounting bracket also has multiple strip holes for easy connection of other external fasteners.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped positioning groove facilitates the installation and positioning of the dryer bottle. Other fixing parts such as steel rings and clamps are connected to the external through the strip hole to position the dryer bottle and oil-gas separator, thereby improving the convenience of installation and positioning of the dryer bottle and oil-gas separator. The dryer bottle and oil-gas separator are set in two layers, which reduces the space occupied by the horizontal arrangement of the dryer bottle and oil-gas separator.
[0014] Optionally, the piping assembly includes a low-pressure pipe and a high-pressure pipe. The high-pressure pipe is connected to the output end of the scroll compressor, the oil-gas separator, the input side of the condenser, the output side of the condenser, the dryer bottle, and the indoor unit assembly. The low-pressure pipe is connected to the indoor unit assembly and the input end of the scroll compressor.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas generated by the compression at the output end of the scroll compressor flows into the condenser in the high-pressure pipe and condenses into liquid. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid increases in volume after passing through the expansion valve, and the pressure and temperature drop sharply, forming a mist-like refrigerant liquid that enters the interior unit assembly. Since the boiling point of the refrigerant is much lower than the temperature inside the interior unit assembly, the refrigerant liquid evaporates into gas. During the evaporation process, a large amount of heat is absorbed from the insulated compartment of the vehicle body. Then, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant vapor flows through the low-pressure pipe to the input end of the scroll compressor, thus returning to the inside of the scroll compressor and repeating the above process, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the air temperature inside the insulated compartment of the vehicle body.
[0016] Optionally, the base is provided with pipe joints at both ends for installing low-pressure pipes and high-pressure pipes, and the base is provided with U-shaped holes for installing pipe joints.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped hole limits the pipe joint, thereby realizing the installation and positioning of high-pressure pipe and low-pressure pipe, improving the convenience of the pipeline routing of low-pressure pipe and high-pressure pipe, and thus improving the convenience of installation and maintenance of refrigeration units for new energy commercial modified refrigerated vehicles.
[0018] Optionally, the low-pressure pipe includes a metal pipe and a rubber hose, with the rubber hose coaxially sleeved on the metal pipe.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber hose wrapped around the metal pipe can reduce vibration and improve the service life of the pipeline.
[0020] Optionally, the low-pressure pipe is integrated with a liquid injection pipe connector, a return oil connector, and a filling valve connector.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the injection pipe connector can be connected to the capillary injection pipe, the return oil connector can be connected to the oil-gas separator for oil return, and the filling valve connector can be connected to the external pipeline for vacuuming or refrigerant charging, thereby improving the convenience of pipeline connection.
[0022] Optionally, the base has inward folds around its perimeter to form folded edges, and multiple drainage holes are provided on the bottom surface of the base. The sides of the base have multiple auxiliary holes for fixing pipes or wire harnesses.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the base is made into a folded edge to increase the overall rigidity of the base. The drainage hole facilitates drainage and reduces the probability that water stains will have an adverse effect on the scroll compressor. At the same time, multiple auxiliary holes are designed to fix pipes, wiring harnesses, baffles or decorative panels, thereby reducing the probability of messy pipe and wiring harness layout, thus improving the convenience of outdoor unit assembly installation and maintenance.
[0024] Optionally, a gas-liquid separator is provided on the low-pressure pipeline between the scroll compressor and the indoor unit assembly.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas-liquid separator efficiently separates gaseous and liquid refrigerants, thereby better protecting the scroll compressor and improving the stability of refrigeration.
[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0027] The outdoor unit assembly is divided into two parts: a refrigeration component integration assembly and a condenser. These are installed on the side and rear of the power battery under the vehicle chassis, respectively. This does not increase the overall height of the vehicle, facilitates heat dissipation, and is also convenient for installation and maintenance. The vehicle's motor controller controls the operation of the air conditioning compressor and scroll compressor through a high-voltage junction box located under the chassis, thereby controlling the working status of the indoor and outdoor unit assemblies. Compared to dispersing the refrigeration components throughout the vehicle body, this simplifies the wiring layout and improves the convenience of installing and maintaining the refrigeration unit in new energy commercial refrigerated trucks.
