AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When a vehicle is wading through water, external water can seep into the interior of the vehicle through the drainage holes, affecting the vehicle's wading performance.

Method used

A vehicle air conditioning unit was designed, which uses a one-way valve assembly, including a valve pipe and a valve core. The valve core has a density less than that of water and controls the opening and closing of the drain hole by gravity or buoyancy to prevent water from entering the air conditioning unit. The bottom wall of the air conditioning unit is clamped to the fireproof sheet metal of the vehicle with an annular sealing gasket to prevent water from entering the cab.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents external water from entering the air conditioning unit and driver's cab through the drain hole, thus improving the vehicle's wading performance.
