Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of two-wheeled vehicle technology, specifically to a two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly and a two-wheeled vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Two-wheeled vehicles such as electric vehicles and motorcycles in related technologies usually only have seat heating functions, and the seat heating is usually achieved by resistance wire. However, during the heating process of resistance wire, heat is lost to the surrounding environment through conduction and radiation, resulting in low heating efficiency. Moreover, if the resistance wire is not installed properly or is used for a long time, it is easy to cause safety hazards such as short circuits and leakage, which may ignite the seat or even burn the rider.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 Description of a two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] The two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly of this utility model includes a seat 1, a circulating air duct, a housing 3, a fan, and a cooling / heating module. The seat 1 has a heat exchange chamber 121. The circulating air duct and the housing 3 are connected to form a circulating flow path. At least part of the circulating air duct is located inside the heat exchange chamber 121, and the housing 3 is located outside the heat exchange chamber 121. The fan is installed on the seat 1 and in the circulating air duct to facilitate airflow circulation in the circulating flow path. Part of the cooling / heating module is located inside the housing 3 and is capable of generating and absorbing heat.

[0028] According to the two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly of this utility model embodiment, by providing at least a portion of the circulating air duct within the heat exchange chamber 121 of the seat 1, and placing the heat-generating and heat-absorbing portions of the cooling and heating module within the housing 3, the high-temperature or low-temperature gas generated near the cooling and heating module can be circulated to various positions in the circulating air duct by a fan when the cooling and heating module generates or absorbs heat. This facilitates heat exchange with the seat 1 at the heat exchange chamber 121, thereby raising and lowering the temperature of the seat 1. Furthermore, by placing the housing 3 outside the heat exchange chamber 121, the cooling and heating module can be positioned at a safe location away from the seat 1, effectively reducing the safety hazards such as igniting the seat 1 or even burning the rider in the event of a short circuit or leakage in the cooling and heating module.

[0029] It should be noted that the two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly can be controlled via APP remote control mode, button control mode, and temperature control sensor self-adjustment mode. In addition, a heat insulation coating can be provided on the parts of the housing 3 and the circulating air duct located outside the heat exchange chamber 121 to reduce the heat exchange between the gas in the housing 3 and the circulating air duct and the outside air, thereby effectively improving the temperature regulation efficiency of the seat 1.

[0030] In some embodiments, the cooling and heating module includes a semiconductor cooling chip, which has a first heat exchange surface and a second heat exchange surface facing away from each other. The first heat exchange surface is located inside the housing 3, and the second heat exchange surface is located outside the housing 3.

[0031] By changing the direction of the current within the thermoelectric cooler, heat release and absorption at the first heat exchange surface can be achieved separately, thereby heating and cooling the gas in the circulating air duct to meet the temperature requirements of the cushion 1 in different seasons or application scenarios. Furthermore, the thermoelectric cooler is a current-transfer type structure; by controlling the input current, precise temperature control within a 0.1℃ range can be achieved to adjust the cushion 1 to a more comfortable temperature. Moreover, the thermoelectric cooler is environmentally friendly and pollution-free during operation, requiring no refrigerant, eliminating the risk of refrigerant leakage, and producing no greenhouse gases, thus meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0032] Specifically, when the semiconductor cooling chip is working, one of the first heat exchange surface and the second heat exchange surface releases heat and the other absorbs heat. By setting the second heat exchange surface of the semiconductor cooling chip outside the housing 3, it is effectively prevented that the second heat exchange surface will exchange heat with the gas inside the housing 3 when absorbing or releasing heat, thus affecting the temperature regulation speed of the cushion 1.

[0033] It should be noted that the thermoelectric effect enables the thermoelectric cooling chip to perform heat release and absorption functions. Its specific structure is the same as that of the thermoelectric cooling chip in related technologies, and will not be described again here.

[0034] In some embodiments, both the first heat exchange surface and the second heat exchange surface are located within the housing 3. The housing 3 includes a heat dissipation portion that is in heat exchange contact with the first heat exchange surface and extends to the outer surface of the housing 3. This arrangement also improves the heat exchange efficiency between the second heat exchange surface and the outside environment, thereby preventing the second heat exchange surface from absorbing or releasing too much heat within the housing 3, which would affect the rate at which the first heat exchange surface regulates the gas temperature in the circulating channel.

[0035] Specifically, the remaining part of the housing 3, except for the heat dissipation part, is made of heat insulation material. The heat dissipation part is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as metal. The part of the heat dissipation part extending to the outer surface of the housing 3 may be provided with multiple heat dissipation fins to further improve the heat exchange efficiency between the second heat exchange surface and the outside.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the seat cushion 1 includes a frame 11, a sponge 12 and a cover 13. The sponge 12 is connected to the frame 11, and the cover 13 is connected to the frame 11 and covers the sponge 12. The cover 13 and the sponge 12 surround a heat exchange cavity 121.

[0037] Therefore, the gas in the circulating air duct directly exchanges heat with the skin 13, resulting in higher heat exchange efficiency between the two, and thus a faster temperature regulation speed of the skin 13, leading to a better user experience.

[0038] Specifically, the seat cushion 1 is connected to the seat bucket 7 of the two-wheeled vehicle via a frame 11, which is located below the sponge 12 to support the sponge 12.

[0039] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the sponge 12 is provided with a receiving groove, which surrounds at least part of the heat exchange cavity 121, and the portion of the circulating air duct located in the receiving groove is bonded to the inner surface of the receiving groove.

[0040] By bonding the circulating air duct to the inner surface of the receiving groove, when the sponge 12 is deformed under force, the circulating air duct is effectively prevented from being misaligned relative to the sponge 12 and accidentally detached from the heat exchange chamber 121. This ensures the comfort of the seat cushion 1 while also ensuring the reliability of heat exchange between the circulating air duct and the seat cushion 1.

[0041] Specifically, the receiving groove surrounds the formed heat exchange cavity 121, and the portion of the circulating air duct located in the heat exchange cavity 121 completely fills the circulating air duct, thereby ensuring that the circulating air duct and the inner surface of the skin 13 are in close contact, resulting in higher heat exchange efficiency between the two.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sponge 12 has an installation cavity 122 located below the heat exchange cavity 121. The two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly also includes a temperature sensor 2, which is installed in the installation cavity 122.

[0043] When the fan and semiconductor cooling chip are turned on to adjust the temperature of the seat cushion 1, the temperature sensor 2 can monitor the temperature of the seat cushion 1 in real time and transmit the signal to the central processing unit so as to keep the temperature of the seat cushion 1 stable at the set temperature.

[0044] Specifically, the temperature sensor 2 is located inside the sponge 12, and the seat cushion 1 provides good protection for the temperature sensor 2. The temperature sensor 2 is preferably located near or in contact with the circulating air duct in the heat exchange chamber 121, so that the temperature it monitors is closer to the temperature of the surface 13 of the seat cushion 1.

[0045] It should be noted that when a two-wheeled vehicle equipped with the two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly of this embodiment has an APP remote control mode, the user can remotely check the temperature of the seat 1 through a mobile phone or other smart device, and remotely start the fan and semiconductor cooling chip accordingly, so as to adjust the temperature of the seat 1 to the set temperature level.

[0046] In some embodiments, the circulating air duct includes an air bag 4 disposed within the heat exchange chamber 121.

[0047] The air cushion 4 can fit tightly against the surface 13 of the seat cushion 1 with the support of the internal air, so as to effectively improve the heat exchange efficiency between the air cushion 4 and the surface 13. At the same time, it has good softness and provides high user comfort when it supports the user together with the foam.

[0048] Specifically, the shape of the air bag 4 is the same as that of the heat exchange cavity 121, such as U-shaped, V-shaped, H-shaped, and serpentine, which on the one hand increases the distribution area of ​​the air bag 4 better, and on the other hand makes it easier for the heat exchange cavity 121 to reliably limit the air bag 4.

[0049] In some embodiments, the circulating air duct further includes an air inlet pipe 5 and an air outlet pipe 6. The housing 3 is located below the seat cushion 1, and the inner cavity of the housing 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the air bag 4 through the air inlet pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 6.

[0050] In addition, the housing 3 is placed below the seat cushion 1 and connected to the inner cavity of the air bag 4 through the air inlet pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 6, so that the semiconductor cooling chip on the housing 3 is spaced apart from the seat cushion 1, which effectively prevents the semiconductor cooling chip from getting too close to the seat cushion 1 and causing the exposed second heat exchange surface of the semiconductor cooling chip to exchange heat with the seat cushion 1 and affect the temperature of the seat cushion 1.

[0051] Specifically, the fan is installed on the outside of the housing 3. The outer surface of the housing 3 extends to provide a first interface and a second interface. The axial direction of the first interface and the axial direction of the second interface are perpendicular. The lower end of the air inlet pipe 5 is fitted into the first interface, and the lower end of the air outlet pipe 6 is fitted into the second interface. The lower surface of the foam in the cushion 1 has two through holes that communicate with the heat exchange chamber 121. The upper ends of the air inlet pipe 5 and the upper ends of the air outlet pipe 6 pass through the two through holes and communicate with the two interfaces on the air bag 4.

[0052] In some embodiments, the two-wheeled vehicle seat temperature control assembly also includes a seat bucket 7, with the seat 1 mounted above the seat bucket 7, the housing 3 mounted on the side of the seat bucket 7, and the air inlet pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 6 disposed inside the seat bucket 7.

[0053] At this time, the second heat exchange surface of the semiconductor cooling chip can also be located on the outside of the seat 7, which facilitates heat exchange between the second heat exchange surface and the outside air and avoids its temperature being too high or too low, thus affecting other components of the two-wheeled vehicle. By setting the air inlet pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 6 inside the seat 7, the external environment is effectively prevented from interfering with the air inlet pipe 5 and the air outlet pipe 6 and affecting the sealing performance of the circulating air duct, while also effectively improving the aesthetic appearance of the two-wheeled vehicle.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 3 and the fan thereon are installed on the left or right side of the seat 7 via threaded parts, and the first and second interfaces on the housing 3 extend into the seat 7.

[0055] Alternatively, the housing 3 can also be installed inside the bucket 7.

[0056] In some embodiments, the seat cushion 1 is provided with at least two heat exchange chambers 121, and the number of each of the housing 3, the circulating air duct, the fan and the cooling and heating module is equal to the number of heat exchange chambers 121 and corresponds one-to-one.

[0057] At this time, different heat exchange chambers 121 correspond to different areas of the seat cushion 1, and the circulating air ducts within different heat exchange chambers 121 are independently controlled by different fans and cooling / heating modules. Therefore, users can independently adjust the temperature of corresponding areas of the seat cushion 1 by controlling the start and stop of different fans and cooling / heating modules. For example, when there are no passengers on the two-wheeled vehicle, the driver only heats the front part of the seat cushion 1, effectively reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, compared to using only one fan and cooling / heating module to adjust the temperature of all areas of the seat cushion 1, the above setup effectively improves the speed of temperature adjustment for the seat cushion 1.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the seat cushion 1 has two heat exchange chambers 121 arranged at intervals along the length direction, and the two shells 3 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the seat bucket 7.
