Description

A novel interchangeable structure for air conditioner and storage box Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of various special vehicles, including UTVs, and specifically to a novel interchangeable structure for air conditioning and storage boxes. Background Technology

[0002] UTV models, failing to meet the diverse needs of different customer groups, have evolved into various configurations, such as a full-door version with a roof and sealed doors, and a basic version without a roof and only simple door panels. Of course, the sealed version can also be further subdivided into optional configurations based on customer requirements. When designing these configurations, we considered how to reduce the development of new parts to lower costs and how to achieve simple conversion between different configurations, leading to this design. Therefore, a new interchangeable structure for the air conditioning and storage box is urgently needed to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel interchangeable structure for air conditioners and storage boxes to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel interchangeable air conditioner and storage box structure includes a structural assembly, which can be combined in two ways, both of which include a front compartment storage box:

[0006] One type of front cabin storage box is equipped with an air conditioning compressor;

[0007] Another type of front cabin storage box does not have an internal compressor.

[0008] Preferably, the structural assembly containing the air conditioning compressor inside the front cabin storage box also includes a ventilated front bulkhead, with an instrument panel assembly located on one side of the ventilated front bulkhead, and the top of the instrument panel assembly fastened to one side of the ventilated front bulkhead.

[0009] Preferably, a ventilation duct front section is provided on one side of the ventilation front bulkhead. The ventilation duct front section is located between the front cabin storage box and the ventilation front bulkhead, and one end of the ventilation duct front section passes through the front cabin storage box and connects to the air conditioning compressor.

[0010] Preferably, a rear section of a ventilation duct is provided on the other side of the ventilation front bulkhead. The rear section of the ventilation duct is located between the ventilation front bulkhead and the instrument panel assembly. One end of the rear section of the ventilation duct is inserted into the front section of the ventilation duct, and the other end of the rear section of the ventilation duct leads to the instrument panel assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the structural assembly of the front cabin storage box that does not have an air conditioning compressor also includes a ventilated front bulkhead, and an instrument panel assembly is provided on one side of the ventilated front bulkhead, with the top of the instrument panel assembly fastened to one side of the ventilated front bulkhead.

[0012] Preferably, a rear section of a ventilation duct is provided on one side of the ventilated front bulkhead. The rear section of the ventilation duct is located between the ventilated front bulkhead and the instrument panel assembly. One end of the rear section of the ventilation duct extends through the ventilated front bulkhead to the interior of the front cabin storage box, and the other end of the rear section of the ventilation duct leads to the instrument panel assembly.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a novel interchangeable structure for air conditioning and storage box. (1) This design makes full use of the space in the front cabin and makes it convenient and quick to install air conditioning. Users can choose a basic configuration model, but when they want to install air conditioning later, they only need to purchase the corresponding accessories to install it conveniently and quickly. It meets the different needs of different customers; (2) It makes full use of the rear ventilation duct required for air conditioning configuration in other configurations, so that it provides drainage function for convertible configuration.

An instrument panel assembly 6 is installed on one side of the ventilated front bulkhead 4, and the top of the instrument panel assembly 6 is fastened to one side of the ventilated front bulkhead 4.

[0026] Preferably, a ventilation duct front section 3 is provided on one side of the ventilation front bulkhead 4. The ventilation duct front section 3 is located between the front cabin storage box 1 and the ventilation front bulkhead 4, and one end of the ventilation duct front section 3 passes through the front cabin storage box 1 and is connected to the air conditioning compressor 2.

[0027] Preferably, a rear section 5 of a ventilation duct is provided on the other side of the ventilation front bulkhead 4. The rear section 5 of the ventilation duct is located between the ventilation front bulkhead 4 and the instrument panel assembly 6. One end of the rear section 5 of the ventilation duct is inserted into the front section 3 of the ventilation duct, and the other end of the rear section 5 of the ventilation duct leads to the instrument panel assembly 6.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the components with air conditioning include a front cabin storage box 1, an air conditioning compressor 2, a front section of a ventilation duct 3, a front bulkhead 4, a rear section of a ventilation duct 4, and an instrument panel assembly. The air conditioning compressor is installed in the front cabin storage box. The front section of the ventilation duct is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioning compressor and then installed onto the mounting port of the front bulkhead. The rear section of the ventilation duct is installed onto the air outlet of the instrument panel via the mounting port of the front bulkhead.
