Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning unit technology, and in particular relates to an air conditioning unit for a miniaturized flying car. Background Technology
[0002] Flying cars are a new type of transportation that integrates the traditional car ground driving system with the flight device of a light aircraft. They have the dual capabilities of driving on urban roads and taking off and landing at low altitudes. Flying cars break the spatial limitations of ground transportation, effectively alleviate urban congestion, and improve the efficiency of short-distance cross-regional travel. As the core component for controlling the cabin environment of flying cars, the air conditioning unit not only needs to perform the temperature regulation and humidity control functions of traditional car air conditioning, but also needs to cope with the special environment of large temperature fluctuations and poor airflow stability at high altitudes during flight. Through efficient heat exchange and air purification, it provides passengers with a constant temperature, comfortable and clean cabin environment, which directly affects the flight experience and driving safety. Currently, existing air conditioning unit technology is mainly developed based on traditional fuel vehicles or pure electric passenger vehicles. Its structural design has obvious volume redundancy and layout defects. The air intake, blower module and temperature control compartment of traditional air conditioning units mostly adopt a horizontally laid-out or simply vertically stacked layout, without optimization for narrow spaces, and the overall size is large. However, flying cars are limited by flight performance requirements. The cabin and chassis space must be prioritized to accommodate core components such as battery packs and flight control systems. The installation space left for air conditioning units is usually much smaller than that of traditional cars, and is mostly irregular and narrow areas. Existing air conditioning units are difficult to adapt to this space constraint.
[0003] To address these issues, we provide a miniaturized air conditioning unit for a flying car. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a miniaturized air conditioning unit for a flying car. By adopting a layered modular layout with a right triangular air intake and a blower on top and an air intake on the side, the overall volume is compressed and the air intake path is optimized, which solves the problem that the existing air conditioning units are too large to fit into small installation spaces.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is an air conditioning box for a miniaturized flying car, including a box body, including a temperature regulating chamber, a blower chamber and an air inlet chamber in the shape of a right triangle. The air inlet chamber is located on the side of the temperature regulating chamber, the blower chamber is located on the top of the temperature regulating chamber, and an air duct for exhaust is fixedly connected to the top of the temperature regulating chamber. An external circulation air inlet is provided at the bottom of the air inlet chamber, and an internal circulation air inlet is provided on the inclined surface of the air inlet chamber. A filter element installation chamber is provided at the connection between the air inlet chamber and the temperature control chamber, and an air conditioning filter element is installed inside the filter element installation chamber. An evaporator is installed inside the temperature-regulating chamber; A blower is installed inside the air chamber; The side wall of the air inlet chamber is equipped with a speed control unit for controlling the speed of the blower.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that an internal and external circulation damper for controlling the opening and closing of the external circulation air inlet and the internal circulation air inlet is fixedly connected inside the air inlet chamber.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the opening of the filter element installation chamber faces upward, and a filter element cover plate is detachably fixed to the opening of the filter element installation chamber.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a sealing sponge for sealing the air conditioning unit and the external air intake is fixedly connected to the bottom of the external air circulation inlet.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature regulating chamber is provided with an upper bracket and a lower bracket arranged diagonally on the left and right, and the evaporator is installed inside the upper bracket and the lower bracket.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom of the temperature regulating chamber is funnel-shaped, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lowest point of the bottom of the temperature regulating chamber.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that multiple positioning recesses are provided at the edge of the air outlet of the blower, and multiple positioning protrusions that are adapted to the positioning recesses are fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the blower chamber.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model adopts a layered modular layout with a right triangular air inlet chamber and a blower chamber on the top and an air inlet chamber on the side. This can optimize the air intake path in a limited space, so that the airflow flows evenly to the temperature control chamber to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator. It can also significantly reduce the overall volume of the air conditioning unit, making it suitable for the narrow installation space of flying cars.
[0013] 2. This utility model installs the evaporator in the temperature control chamber on the upper and lower brackets, which are diagonally positioned with the left side higher than the right side. It also designs a funnel-shaped bottom of the temperature control chamber and a drain pipe at the lowest point of the bottom. This design can accurately position the evaporator to ensure stable installation, increase the contact area between the evaporator and the airflow to improve heat exchange efficiency, and guide the condensate to the bottom for efficient discharge, thus preventing the condensate from accumulating and damaging the evaporator or seeping into other parts of the flying car.
[0014] 3. This utility model adopts an upward-opening filter installation compartment and a removable filter cover, or adapts the positioning recess of the blower outlet to the positioning boss of the temperature control compartment. This allows for quick replacement of the air conditioning filter without disassembling the entire air conditioning unit, reducing the difficulty and time cost of later maintenance. It also improves the efficiency of blower installation and calibration and connection stability, resists vibration during flight, prevents blower displacement from affecting air delivery efficiency, and ensures long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model relates to a miniaturized air conditioning unit for a flying car, comprising a housing, a temperature regulating chamber 200, a blower chamber 300, and a right-angled triangular air inlet chamber 100. The air inlet chamber 100 is located on the side of the temperature regulating chamber 200, and the blower chamber 300 is located on top of the temperature regulating chamber 200. An exhaust duct 400 is fixedly connected to the top of the temperature regulating chamber 200. The right-angled triangular air inlet chamber 100 is an industry first, which can optimize the air intake path in a limited space, making the airflow more evenly flow to the temperature regulating chamber 200 and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the subsequent evaporator 201. The layout of the blower chamber 300 on top of the temperature regulating chamber 200 and the air inlet chamber 100 on the side realizes the layered modularization of functional areas, greatly reducing the overall volume of the air conditioning unit and adapting to the narrow installation space of the flying car. The air duct 400 can be flexibly connected to the air outlet of the flying car's cabin to meet the air supply needs of different positions and ensure the comfort of the passengers. An external circulation air inlet 101 is provided at the bottom of the air inlet chamber 100, and an internal circulation air inlet 102 is provided on the sloping side of the air inlet chamber 100. A filter element installation chamber 103 is provided at the connection between the air inlet chamber 100 and the temperature regulating chamber 200. An air conditioning filter element 103a is installed inside the filter element installation chamber 103. The staggered layout of the external circulation air inlet 101 and the internal circulation air inlet 102 can avoid airflow collision when switching between the two air intake modes, reducing wind resistance and noise. The air conditioning filter element 103a is located between the air inlet chamber 100 and the temperature regulating chamber 200, and can filter all airflow entering the temperature regulating chamber 200, effectively removing dust, particulate matter and other impurities. It is suitable for the dual scenarios of introducing fresh air when flying cars are flying at high altitudes and circulating and purifying cabin air when driving on the ground, ensuring the respiratory health of passengers. The temperature control chamber 200 is equipped with an evaporator 201, which can directly regulate the temperature and humidity of the filtered airflow and quickly respond to the temperature and humidity requirements of the flying car cabin. The blower 301 is installed inside the blower compartment 300. The blower 301 is installed inside the blower compartment 300 and can stably receive the airflow processed by the temperature regulating compartment 200 and provide sufficient power for airflow delivery. This ensures that the air duct 400 can efficiently deliver the regulated air to all areas of the cabin. Even when the flying car is traveling at high speed or in a high-altitude low-pressure environment, it can maintain a stable airflow. The side wall of the air intake 100 is equipped with a speed control unit 500 for controlling the speed of the blower 301. The speed control unit 500 is installed on the side wall of the air intake 100 and can flexibly adjust the speed of the blower 301 according to the actual needs of the flying car cabin, thereby controlling the air intake and exhaust speeds. This avoids energy waste caused by excessively high air speeds and also prevents comfort from being affected by excessively low air speeds, thus achieving a balance between energy saving and user experience.
[0022] Specifically, the air intake chamber 100 is internally fixedly connected to an internal and external circulation damper 104 for controlling the opening and closing of the external circulation air intake 101 and the internal circulation air intake 102. The internal and external circulation damper 104 can control the independent opening and closing or switching of the external circulation air intake 101 and the internal circulation air intake 102. For example, when the ground air quality is poor, the external circulation air intake 101 is closed and the internal circulation air intake 102 is opened. When flying at high altitude, it is switched to external circulation to ensure the timeliness and sealing of the air intake mode switching. The temperature control chamber 200 has an upper mounting bracket 201a and a lower mounting bracket 201b arranged diagonally with the left side higher than the right side. The evaporator 201 is installed inside the upper mounting bracket 201a and the lower mounting bracket 201b. The diagonal arrangement of the upper mounting bracket 201a and the lower mounting bracket 201b not only accurately positions the evaporator 201 and ensures its stable installation, but also allows the evaporator 201 to be tilted, increasing the contact area with the airflow and improving heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the tilted installation can guide the condensate to flow to the bottom of the temperature control chamber 200, preventing condensate from accumulating and damaging the evaporator 201. The bottom of the temperature control chamber 200 is funnel-shaped, and a drain pipe 600 is fixedly connected to the lowest point of the bottom of the temperature control chamber 200. The funnel-shaped bottom of the temperature control chamber 200 can quickly collect the condensate produced by the evaporator 201, preventing condensate from remaining in the chamber. The drain pipe 600 is connected to the lowest point of the bottom, which can efficiently discharge the condensate outside the air conditioning unit and prevent the condensate from seeping into other parts of the flying car and causing damage.
[0023] Furthermore, a sealing sponge 101a for sealing the air conditioning unit and the external air intake is fixedly connected to the bottom of the external air intake 101.
[0024] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the temperature inside the flying car, the air intake mode is first selected according to the environment in which the flying car is located: If it is in high-altitude flight, fresh air needs to be introduced. By controlling the internal and external circulation air dampers 104 inside the air intake chamber 100, the external circulation air intake 101 is opened and the internal circulation air intake 102 is closed. At this time, the outside air enters the air intake chamber 100 through the external circulation air intake 101. If it is driving on the ground and the air quality is poor, it is necessary to circulate and purify the cabin air. Then, the external circulation air intake 101 is closed and the internal circulation air intake 102 is opened through the internal and external circulation air dampers 104. The cabin air enters the air intake chamber 100 through the internal circulation air intake 102. The airflow entering the air intake chamber 100 flows to the filter installation chamber 103 at the connection between the air intake chamber 100 and the temperature regulating chamber 200. After passing through the internal air conditioning filter 103a, dust, particulate matter, and other impurities are removed from the airflow, ensuring the cleanliness of the airflow entering the temperature regulating chamber 200. Then, the blower 301 inside the blower chamber 300 is activated, generating power to stably deliver the airflow filtered by the air conditioning filter 103a into the temperature regulating chamber 200. At this time, the evaporator 201 inside the temperature regulating chamber 200 begins to work, regulating the temperature and humidity of the airflow entering the temperature regulating chamber 200 to quickly match the temperature and humidity requirements of the flying car cabin. During the operation of the evaporator 201, the condensate produced flows along the inclined surface of the evaporator 201 towards the temperature regulating chamber 200. The funnel-shaped bottom of the air inlet 200 eventually drains the condensate from the air conditioning unit through the drain pipe 600 at the lowest point of the temperature control chamber 200, preventing condensate buildup from damaging the evaporator 201 or seeping into other parts of the flying car. At the same time, the speed of the blower 301 can be flexibly adjusted by the speed control unit 500 on the side wall of the air inlet 100 according to the actual needs of the passengers in the flying car cabin, thereby controlling the air intake and exhaust speeds. This prevents excessively high air speeds from wasting energy and avoids excessively low air speeds from affecting comfort, achieving a balance between energy saving and user experience. The clean air regulated by the evaporator 201 is finally delivered to the corresponding air outlet in the flying car cabin through the air duct 400 fixedly connected to the top of the temperature control chamber 200, completing the temperature regulation inside the flying car and continuously ensuring a comfortable environment in the cabin. Example 2
[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on the first specific embodiment, the opening of the filter element installation chamber 103 faces upward, and a filter element cover plate 103b is detachably fixed to the opening of the filter element installation chamber 103.
[0026] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The filter installation compartment 103 is designed with the opening facing upwards. With the detachable filter cover 103b, the filter cover 103b can be quickly opened to replace the air conditioning filter 103a without disassembling the entire air conditioning unit or other complex parts. This greatly simplifies the maintenance process and reduces the difficulty and time cost of later maintenance of the air conditioning unit of the flying car. Example 3
[0027] Please see Figure 3 Based on specific embodiment one and specific embodiment two, multiple positioning recesses 301b are provided at the edge of the air outlet of the blower 301, and multiple positioning bosses 301a that are adapted to the positioning recesses 301b are fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the blower chamber 300.
[0028] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the matching and cooperation of the positioning notch 301b and the positioning boss 301a can quickly calibrate the position when the blower 301 is installed, avoiding misalignment between the air outlet and the temperature regulating chamber 200 due to installation deviation, thus improving assembly efficiency; at the same time, the matching of the notch and the boss can enhance the connection stability between the blower 301 and the temperature regulating chamber 200, resist the vibration during the flight of the flying car, prevent the blower 301 from shifting and affecting the air delivery efficiency, and the screw fixing can further improve the fixing strength, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
