Automobile air conditioner and automobile

Abstract

The application provides an automobile air conditioner and an automobile. The automobile air conditioner comprises an air conditioner main body, a blower, a heating assembly and a control assembly. The blower can blow the airflow generated by the air conditioner main body to the vehicle interior through a common channel. The heating assembly has a heat preservation part and a heating part arranged on the heat preservation part. The heating part can heat the heat preservation part to make the heat preservation part reach a preset temperature. One end of the heat preservation part is communicated with the blowing port of the blower through a rapid channel, and the other end is communicated with the common channel. The control assembly can control one of the rapid channel or the common channel to be in an open state. In the case that the temperature is relatively low in winter, when the vehicle interior needs to be rapidly heated, the control assembly controls the rapid channel to be open and the common channel to be closed, and the blower is used to blow the hot air in the heat preservation part to the vehicle interior. Since the heating part can rapidly heat the air in the heat preservation part, when the blower blows the hot air in the heat preservation part to the vehicle interior, the temperature in the vehicle interior can also be rapidly increased.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to automotive air conditioning and automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] An automotive air conditioning system (or simply car air conditioner) is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside a car cabin to maintain optimal conditions, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creating favorable working conditions for the driver. It generally includes cooling, heating, and ventilation systems.

[0003] However, existing car air conditioning systems heat up slowly, often requiring drivers and passengers to endure prolonged periods of cold, especially in northern winters when the interior temperature of cars parked outdoors is extremely low, severely impacting the passenger experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for automotive air conditioning and automobiles to address, to some extent, the technical problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an automotive air conditioner and an automotive vehicle that can improve the heating speed to a certain extent, thereby rapidly increasing the interior temperature and improving driving comfort.

[0006] This application provides an automotive air conditioner, including an air conditioner body, a blower, a heating component, and a control component;

[0007] The blower can blow the airflow generated by the air conditioning unit into the vehicle through a normal channel;

[0008] The heating component has a heat preservation part and a heating part disposed on the heat preservation part; the heating part can heat the heat preservation part to make the heat preservation part reach a preset temperature.

[0009] One end of the insulation section is connected to the air outlet of the blower via a fast channel, and the other end is connected to the ordinary channel, so that the air outlet of the blower is connected to both the ordinary channel and the fast channel.

[0010] The control component can control either the fast channel or the normal channel to be in an open state; when rapid heating of the vehicle interior is required, the control component controls the fast channel to open and the normal channel to close, so that the blower blows the hot airflow in the insulation section into the vehicle interior.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the heat insulation part is a heat insulation shell, and the heating part is a coil and a metal disc;

[0012] The insulation shell is provided with an installation space, the metal disc is fixed to the installation space by a supporting component, and the coil is disposed on the metal disc;

[0013] An alternating current is passed through the coil to generate an alternating magnetic field. The alternating magnetic field will generate eddy currents on the metal disk, causing the metal disk to generate heat. The generated heat can heat the air inside the insulation shell.

[0014] The fast channel extends through the insulation shell along the direction of the ordinary channel.

[0015] In the above technical solution, a temperature sensor and a controller electrically connected to the temperature sensor are further provided inside the insulation shell; the temperature sensor can detect the temperature inside the insulation shell, and when the preset temperature is reached, the controller can stop supplying AC power to the coil.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the inner wall of the heat-insulating shell is further provided with a heat-insulating layer, which can keep the heat-insulating shell warm and reduce heat loss.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the control component further includes an electromagnetic valve;

[0018] The electromagnetic valve is located at one end of the ordinary channel and the fast channel that are close to each other.

[0019] When the solenoid valve closes the fast channel and opens the normal channel, the blower can blow the airflow generated by the air conditioning unit directly into the vehicle; when the solenoid valve closes the normal channel and opens the fast channel, the blower can blow the airflow generated by the heating component directly into the vehicle.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the receiving component further includes a receiving plate, which protrudes from the inner wall of the insulation shell at a preset position, so that a receiving end face is formed on the receiving plate, and the metal disc is disposed on the receiving end face.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the receiving plate is further arranged symmetrically about the axis of the insulation shell on the inner side wall of the insulation shell; the two ends of the metal disk are respectively mounted on the receiving plate.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the heating component further includes a limiting member, which is used to fix the coil to the metal disk.

[0023] This application also provides a car, including the aforementioned car air conditioner.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] This application provides an automotive air conditioner, including an air conditioner body, a blower, a heating component, and a control component;

[0026] The blower can blow the airflow generated by the air conditioning unit into the vehicle through a normal channel;

[0027] The heating component has a heat preservation part and a heating part disposed on the heat preservation part; the heating part can heat the heat preservation part to make the heat preservation part reach a preset temperature.

[0028] One end of the insulation section is connected to the air outlet of the blower via a fast channel, and the other end is connected to the ordinary channel, so that the air outlet of the blower is connected to both the ordinary channel and the fast channel.

[0029] The control component can control either the fast channel or the normal channel to be in an open state; when rapid heating of the vehicle interior is required, the control component controls the fast channel to open and the normal channel to close, so that the blower blows the hot airflow in the insulation section into the vehicle interior.

[0030] In summary, when rapid heating of the vehicle interior is needed due to low winter temperatures, the control component opens the fast-acting channel and closes the normal channel, using a blower to blow hot air from the insulation section into the vehicle. Because the heating element can quickly heat the air within the insulation section, the blower rapidly raises the interior temperature, thus quickly heating the vehicle and improving the driving and passenger experience. This overcomes, to some extent, the technical problem of slow heating in existing car air conditioning systems, which often requires passengers to endure prolonged periods of cold, especially in northern winters when the interior temperature of cars parked outdoors is extremely low, severely impacting passenger comfort. Of course, when rapid heating is not needed, the control component 3 can close the fast-acting channel and open the normal channel for conventional heating.

[0031] This application also provides a car including the aforementioned car air conditioner. Therefore, it possesses the beneficial effects of a car air conditioner, which will not be specifically described here. Attached Figure Description

[0042] Example 1

[0043] An automotive air conditioning device, or simply an automotive air conditioner, is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside a car cabin to optimal levels, providing a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creating favorable working conditions for the driver. It generally includes a cooling system, a heating system, and a ventilation system (the cooling, heating, and ventilation systems are existing technologies and not covered by this application, therefore they will not be specifically described). The automotive air conditioner provided in this application, based on the above structure, also includes an air conditioning unit, a blower 1, a heating component 2, and a control component 3; the heating component 2 and the control component 3 can quickly heat the interior temperature, improving the driving and riding experience for drivers and passengers. To a certain extent, it overcomes the technical problem that existing automotive air conditioners have a slow heating speed, often requiring drivers and passengers to endure prolonged periods of cold, especially in northern winters when the interior temperature of cars parked outdoors is extremely low, severely affecting the riding experience. The following is a combination of... Figures 1-4 This application provides a detailed description of an automotive air conditioner.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an automotive air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner body, a blower 1, a heating component 2, and a control component 3.

[0045] Specifically, combined Figure 1As shown, the function of blower 1 is to blow the airflow generated by the air conditioning unit into the vehicle through ordinary channel 4; ordinary channel 4 here refers to the channel in the prior art through which blower 1 blows the airflow generated by the air conditioning unit into the vehicle. In order to distinguish it from the fast channel 203 mentioned below, it is named ordinary channel 4 here.

[0046] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, the heating assembly 2 includes a heat preservation section 201 and a heating section disposed on the heat preservation section 201; the heating section can heat the heat preservation section 201 to bring it to a preset temperature. The aforementioned heating of the heat preservation section 201 by the heating assembly refers to using the heating section to heat the air inside the heat preservation section 201, so that the gas inside the heat preservation section 201 reaches a preset temperature. Typically, the preset temperature is 45°C, but it can also be 60°C.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the insulation section 201 is connected to the air outlet of the blower 1, and the other end is connected to the ordinary channel 4. The channel connecting the insulation section 201 to the blower 1 and the end connecting the insulation section 201 to the ordinary channel 4 are called the rapid channel 203. That is, the air outlet 204 of the blower 1 is connected to both the ordinary channel 4 and the rapid channel 203. In winter when the temperature is low, the air inside the insulation section 201 can be quickly heated by starting the heating unit. Then, the blower 1 is started, and the blower 1 blows the heated air inside the insulation section 201 into the vehicle, thereby achieving rapid heating of the vehicle interior.

[0048] Specifically, the control component 3 can control either the fast channel 203 or the normal channel 4 to be in the open state. In actual use, when the temperature is low in winter and rapid heating of the vehicle interior is needed, the control component 3 controls the fast channel 203 to open and the normal channel 4 to close, using the blower 1 to blow hot air from the insulation section 201 into the vehicle interior. In this way, since the heating section can rapidly heat the air inside the insulation section 201, when the blower 1 blows the hot air from the insulation section 201 into the vehicle interior, it can also quickly raise the temperature inside the vehicle, thereby rapidly heating the interior and improving the driving and riding experience for the driver and passengers. This overcomes, to some extent, the technical problem of existing car air conditioning systems having slow heating speeds, often requiring drivers and passengers to endure prolonged periods of cold, especially in northern winters when the interior temperature of cars parked outdoors is extremely low, severely affecting the riding experience. Of course, when rapid heating of the vehicle interior is not needed, the control component 3 can be used to close the fast channel 203 and open the normal channel 4, using ordinary heating methods.

[0049] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the insulation part 201 is an insulation shell, which can optionally be a cuboid, but is not limited to a cuboid; it can also be a cube. The heating part consists of a coil 205 and a metal disc 206.

[0050] Specifically, the insulation shell is provided with an installation space 210, the metal disk 206 is fixed to the installation space 210 by a supporting component, and the coil 205 is arranged above the metal disk 206; an alternating current is passed through the coil 205 to generate an alternating magnetic field, the alternating magnetic field will generate eddy currents on the metal disk 206 to generate heat in the metal disk 206, and the generated heat can heat the air inside the insulation shell.

[0051] It is worth noting that the alternating current supplied to coil 205 can be achieved by conducting the alternating current in the vehicle's main control circuit (power supply device 211).

[0052] The above utilizes the principle of electromagnetic heating. Specifically, alternating current passes through coil 205 to generate a changing magnetic field. When the metal disk 206 is placed in this magnetic field, alternating current (i.e., eddy currents) is generated at the bottom of the metal disk 206 by cutting the alternating magnetic field lines 209. In other words, when the metal disk 206 is placed in this magnetic field, the change in the magnetic field induces eddy currents in a closed loop. The eddy currents cause the charge carriers at the bottom of the metal disk 206 to move at high speed and randomly. The charge carriers collide and rub against each other, generating heat energy, thereby heating the air in the installation space 210.

[0053] It should also be noted that, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the faster the magnetic field changes (the higher the frequency), the stronger the eddy current.

[0054] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, a temperature sensor 207 is also installed inside the insulation shell, and the temperature sensor 207 is electrically connected to the controller. Specifically, the temperature sensor 207 can detect the temperature inside the insulation shell, and when the preset temperature is reached, the controller can stop supplying AC power to the coil 205.

[0055] It is worth noting that the temperature sensor 207 is electrically connected to the controller. The two only transmit signals and do not involve logical operations. The temperature sensor 207 and some functions built into the controller itself are used.

[0056] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, in order to prevent the back-heated air inside the insulation shell from losing heat too quickly, an insulation layer 208 is attached to the inner wall of the insulation shell. The insulation layer 208 can keep the insulation shell warm, reduce the heat loss inside the insulation shell to a certain extent, and further improve the heating speed of the vehicle interior.

[0057] The insulation layer 208 is selected as insulation cotton; the insulation layer 208 can be installed by adhesive, that is, the insulation layer 208 is glued to the side wall of the insulation shell.

[0058] In this embodiment, the control component 3 includes a solenoid valve 301; the solenoid valve 301 is located at one end of the normal channel 4 and the fast channel 203 that are close to each other; when the solenoid valve 301 closes the fast channel 203 and opens the normal channel 4, the blower 1 can directly blow the airflow generated by the air conditioning unit into the vehicle; when the solenoid valve 301 closes the normal channel 4 and opens the fast channel 203, the blower 1 can directly blow the airflow generated by the heating component 2 into the vehicle. That is, in different outdoor environments with different temperatures, different modes can be selected according to individual needs.

[0059] In this embodiment, the receiving component includes a receiving plate, which protrudes from the inner sidewall of the insulation shell at a predetermined position, forming a receiving end face on the receiving plate. A metal disc 206 is disposed on the receiving end face. The predetermined position can be approximately 10 cm from the top wall on the sidewall of the insulation shell. Furthermore, the receiving plate is vertically disposed on the sidewall of the insulation shell and extends towards another sidewall symmetrical to it.

[0060] Furthermore, the receiving plates are symmetrically arranged on the inner sidewall of the insulation shell about its axis; both ends of the metal disc 206 are respectively mounted on the receiving plates. That is, the left and right sidewalls of the insulation shell are symmetrically and vertically arranged with receiving plates, and both ends of the metal disc 206 are mounted on the receiving plates. In addition, in order to prevent the metal disc 206 from shifting or moving due to the vibration of the vehicle during operation, the metal plates are fixed to the receiving plates with metal wires.

[0061] Furthermore, the heating assembly 2 also includes a limiting member for fixing the coil 205 to the metal disc 206. Preferably, the limiting member is a limiting metal wire.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] This application also provides a car including the aforementioned car air conditioner. Therefore, it possesses the beneficial effects of a car air conditioner, which will not be specifically described here.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
