Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of living cabin technology, specifically to an exhaust structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the application scenarios of living cabins, whether used as mobile homes for motorhomes or for quickly setting up seasonal guesthouses, the height issue during transportation cannot be ignored. Constrained by road height restrictions, infrastructure conditions such as bridges and tunnels, and limitations on campsite deployment space, the transportation height of the living cabin directly affects the motorhome's maneuverability and the efficiency of rapid campsite deployment. Furthermore, the exhaust structure of traditional living cabins, often fixed to the top, occupies considerable height space, exacerbating the height restriction problem during transportation and causing numerous inconveniences and challenges. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide an exhaust structure to reduce the height of the exhaust structure during transportation, thereby reducing the height of the living quarters during transportation and improving the transportability of the living quarters.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an exhaust structure, including an installation component and an exhaust component, the installation component including a top cover, an extension component hinged to the top cover, the free end of the extension component being provided with a hinge point and being able to rotate around the hinge point, the exhaust component including an exhaust fan, the exhaust fan being fixed to the top cover and being able to exhaust the gas below the top cover.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: 1. For RVs, in actual travel, they need to navigate city streets, country roads, and various height-restricted sections, bridges, and tunnels. Traditional living compartments, due to the space occupied by the exhaust structure, have excessively high longitudinal height, restricting their passage through height-restricted sections and potentially causing collisions, resulting in vehicle damage and safety hazards. This solution fixes the exhaust fan to the roof, which is hinged to a connecting rod. The connecting rod is hinged to the living compartment's access passage, and the connecting rod and roof can be connected via a tarpaulin. During transport, the roof is folded twice to reach above the living compartment, and the tarpaulin is stored inside, reducing the height of the living compartment during transport. This lowers the RV's overall height when traveling on the road, allowing it to pass through more complex road sections smoothly, expanding its travel range, and providing users with a freer and more convenient travel experience. 2. From a transportation efficiency perspective, reducing the height of the living compartment during transport increases its single-trip transport capacity. When using trucks and other transport vehicles to transport living pods, reducing the height of the pods within limited transport space allows for more efficient stacking and arrangement, enabling the loading of more pods in the same space. This not only improves the utilization rate of transport resources but also reduces the number of trips and lowers transport costs. Furthermore, for scenarios requiring bulk transport of living pods to build campsites, the increased capacity per trip significantly accelerates campsite deployment, allowing projects like seasonal guesthouses to begin operation more quickly, providing services to tourists and improving commercial efficiency. In addition, regarding rapid campsite deployment, traditional high-height transport methods... The living quarters, due to their excessive height, may require more complex equipment and manpower during transport and installation, resulting in significant time and effort costs. This solution fixes the exhaust fan to the top cover, which is hinged to a connecting rod. The connecting rod is hinged to the living quarters' access passage, and the connecting rod and top cover can be connected by a tarpaulin. During transport, the top cover is folded twice to reach the living quarters, and the tarpaulin is stored inside the living quarters, thus reducing the height of the living quarters during transport. This reduced transport height makes handling and installation more convenient, saving considerable time and labor costs, accelerating the deployment process, and meeting the needs of rapid camp setup and flexible adjustments.
[0006] Furthermore, a support member is hinged to the extension, and the free end of the support member is detachably connected to the side of the top cover.
[0007] Beneficial effects: The support structure ensures the stability of the exhaust structure during use, preventing it from rotating downwards due to gravity and affecting its operation.
[0008] Furthermore, the exhaust assembly also includes a shield, which is detachably mounted on the underside of the top cover and can guide the gas below the top cover. The shield creates a negative pressure environment within its coverage area, preventing odors from escaping and affecting the user experience of the living quarters.
[0009] Furthermore, the shielding element is a soft curtain, which is suspended below the top cover.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower end of the soft curtain is detachably connected to the living quarters.
[0011] Furthermore, air vents are provided on both sides of the top cover, and exhaust fans are fixed on both sides of the top cover and connected to the air vents.
[0012] Furthermore, the extension consists of two rod-shaped components, which are hinged to both sides of the living quarters access passage. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional view of Embodiment 1 of the present invention;
[0014] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional view of Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0016] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: air outlet 11, shield 12, top cover 21, support 22, and extension 23.
[0017] Example 1
[0018] Example 1 is basically as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The exhaust structure shown includes an exhaust assembly and a mounting assembly. The exhaust assembly includes an exhaust fan, and the mounting assembly includes a top cover 21, an extension 23, and a support 22. The top cover 21 is provided with an air outlet 11. The exhaust fan is fixed on both sides of the top cover 21 and communicates with the air outlet 11. The extension 23 is hinged to the top cover 21 and has a hinge point at its free end. The support 22 is hinged to the middle of the extension 23 and is detachably connected to the side of the top cover 21.
[0019] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0020] Taking the need to exhaust cooking fumes as an example, firstly, by adjusting the angle of the extension 23, the extension 23 is made perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the top cover 21 is rotated around the hinge point between the top cover 21 and the extension 23 to a vertical state, and the free end of the support 22 is connected to the side wall of the top cover 21, so that the top cover 21 is above the fumes. The power supply of the exhaust fan is connected, so that the fan blades of the exhaust fan rotate and exhaust the fumes through the air outlet 11.
[0021] This solution applies to flexible connections, such as tarpaulins, between the hinge point of the living compartment and the extension 23 and the cover 21. During transport, the cover 21 is first folded parallel to the extension 23. Then, the extension 23 is rotated around the hinge point at its free end so that the extension 23 is parallel to the floor of the living compartment. The flexible connection is then accommodated between the living compartment and the cover 21, so that the cover 21 covers the top of the living compartment, reducing the height of the living compartment and thus improving its transportability.
[0022] Example 2
[0023] Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the exhaust assembly also includes a shield 12, which is a soft curtain with hooks at both ends and is suspended below the top cover 21 by the hooks.
[0024] Taking bathroom exhaust ventilation as an example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the hook at the lower end of the shield 12 is fixedly connected to the bathroom floor to form a shield for the bathroom. The exhaust fan is used to exhaust the air in the bathroom through the air outlet 11, so that the bathroom is in a negative pressure state, thereby preventing the odor in the bathroom from spreading into the living chamber.
