[0026] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.

[0027] The terms used to describe position and direction in this utility model are illustrated with the accompanying drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and all such changes are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a new wind and rain water filtration and separation and air volume control device for rail transit air conditioning, including: a main frame 1, fan blades 2 and a grille 3.

[0029] The main frame 1 has an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 opposite to the air inlet 11. The area near the air inlet 11 is the air inlet area 111, and the area near the air outlet 12 is the air outlet area 121. When installed, the air inlet 11 of the main frame 1 is located on the outer side of the carriage, and the air outlet 12 is located on the inner side of the carriage.

[0030] The fan blades 2 are rotatably mounted at the air inlet 11 to control the air intake volume of the air inlet 11. The fan blades 2 are rotatably connected to the opening of the air inlet 11. When closed, the fan blades 2 block the air inlet 11. When open, the fan blades 2 open at a certain angle relative to the air inlet 11, and fresh air bypasses the fan blades 2 and enters the main frame 1 through the air inlet 11.

[0031] The grilles 3 are respectively installed in the air intake zone 111 and the air outlet zone 121. The grille 3 located in the air intake zone 111 is used to separate rainwater from the fresh air passing through the fan blades 2. After passing through the grille 3 in the air outlet zone 121, the rainwater enters the vehicle compartment. After the fresh air enters, it is blocked and turbulent by the grille 3. The rainwater flows down the grille 3 and eventually falls down, and will not enter the vehicle compartment with the fresh air.

[0032] The integrated design allows for easy control of the fresh air intake 11 by adjusting the opening angle of the fan blades 2. The fresh air then flows downwards under the guidance of the grille 3, preventing rainwater from entering the vehicle interior along with the fresh air. This simplified structure balances flexible control of the fresh air intake with the function of blocking rainwater. During installation, the entire device can be installed in one place, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices to independently control the air intake and block rainwater.

[0033] In one embodiment, a rotary actuator 4 is further included. The rotary actuator 4 is connected to the main frame 1. The rotating part 41 of the actuator is connected to the fan blade 2 via a connecting shaft 42. The fan blade 2 is driven to rotate along the axis of the shaft 42. The rotary actuator 4 specifically includes a connected main body and a rotatable annular sleeve. The inner side of the annular sleeve is connected to the shaft 42. By driving the shaft 42 to rotate, the fan blade 2 is driven to flip at a specified angle and maintain the current air intake volume, which can be flexibly adjusted.

[0034] In one embodiment, the main frame 1 is further provided with a connecting groove 5, and a filter frame 51 is connected in the connecting groove 5. The filter frame 51 is located between the air inlet zone 111 and the air outlet zone 121, and is used to filter particulate matter in the fresh air entering after passing through the air inlet zone 111. The connecting groove 5 is a vertically formed strip groove on the main frame 1, and its shape is similar to the cross-sectional shape of the filter frame 51. The filter frame 51 can be inserted into the connecting groove 5. When the fresh air passes through the air inlet zone 111, the dust and particulate matter in the fresh air will be blocked on the surface of the filter screen 53 inside the filter frame 51, which can effectively filter the particulate matter and dust in the fresh air and prevent dust and particulate matter from being sucked into the interior of the vehicle.

[0035] Preferably, an elastic element 52 is provided on the filter frame 51 corresponding to the inner wall of the connecting groove 5, and the filter frame 51 is elastically connected to the connecting groove 5 through the elastic element 52. The elastic element 52 can be a spring or, for example, a curved elastic metal sheet as shown in the figure. By elastically abutting against the inner wall of the connecting groove 5, the filter frame 51 can be elastically connected to the connecting groove 5, facilitating the installation and removal of the filter screen. When removing the filter, pulling the handle on the filter frame 51 allows the entire filter screen to be replaced.

[0036] Preferably, a filter screen 53 is connected inside the filter frame 51, the filter frame has a thickness of 7mm, and the filter screen 53 is two layers of 30-mesh yarn.

[0037] Preferably, the bottom surface of the main frame 1 is inclined towards the air inlet 11 to allow moisture to flow out from the air inlet 11 under gravity. The grille 3 located in the air intake area 111 is parallel to the bottom of the main frame 1, allowing fresh air to rise and separate moisture. The angle between the grille 3 and the horizontal plane can be 45 degrees, and it is inclined upward in the direction of air intake. The airflow climbs upward, and rainwater slides down the inclined surface of the grille 3, thereby effectively blocking external rainwater and preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the vehicle.

[0038] Preferably, the two sides of the fan blade are rotatably connected to the frame of the main body frame 1 via the connecting shaft 6, in order to balance the torque of the fan blade under the drive of the airflow, which is concentrated on the rotating shaft 42 of the actuator.

[0039] The bottom of the main frame 1, between the fan blades 2 and the filter screen 53, also has a second air inlet 11. The second air inlet 11 can increase the intake path of fresh air. The fresh air entering from the bottom and facing upward will not carry rainwater and is clean fresh air, which greatly ensures the supply of fresh air in the carriage.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and all such changes should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
