Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RV air conditioning technology, specifically to an RV air conditioning panel with independent airflow zones. Background Technology

[0002] As a mobile space that combines transportation and living functions, the comfort of the interior environment of a motorhome mainly depends on the stable operation of the air conditioning system. As the core component of air conditioning airflow distribution, the air duct partition directly affects the isolation effect of return air and air outlet, airflow efficiency, and the versatility of the air conditioning system. In order to solve the compatibility problem between the two types of motorhome air conditioning units, namely "ducted" and "ductless", the existing technology has emerged such as the "a highly versatile motorhome air conditioning panel" disclosed in the utility model patent with publication (announcement) number CN220410238U. This technology sets an isolation plate on the back of the air conditioning panel. The top of the isolation plate needs to be sealed against the outdoor air conditioning panel on the roof of the motorhome, and the bottom needs to be sealed against the air conditioning panel, thereby dividing the air conditioning into relatively independent return air space and air outlet space.

[0003] However, current RVs of different brands and models have different roof structure designs to meet the needs of heat preservation, sound insulation, structural strength and space expansion, resulting in different roof thicknesses. Since the partition plate is installed in a fixed manner and rigidly connected to the air conditioning panel through a fixed bracket, the height of the partition plate is fixed. This means that the partition plate cannot reach the outdoor panel outside the RV roof, which means that the return air space and the air supply space cannot be separated. Therefore, the adaptability and ease of installation of the current RV air conditioning partition plate are insufficient and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a motorhome air conditioning panel with an independent air zone, which aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and improve the compatibility and ease of installation of the isolation components.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a motorhome air conditioning panel with independent air zones, comprising an outdoor roof panel and an air conditioning panel disposed above and below an opening, wherein an adjustable-height isolation component is disposed between the air conditioning panel and the outdoor roof panel, thereby dividing the top of the air conditioning panel into two independent spaces that are not connected to each other, the bottom of the air conditioning panel is provided with a return air vent corresponding to one of the independent spaces, and the air conditioning panel is provided with an air outlet connected to the other independent space, wherein the isolation component comprises a fixed base plate and an upper sliding plate slidably disposed on the fixed base plate, and the upper sliding plate is close to the fixed base plate.

[0006] Optionally, the fixed base plate is vertically installed in the middle of the air conditioner panel, and the lower edge of the fixed base plate is sealed against the air conditioner panel, the upper edge of the upper sliding plate is sealed against the outdoor roof plate, and the two sides of the fixed base plate and the upper sliding plate are respectively sealed against the two side walls of the opening.

[0007] Optionally, one side of the fixed base plate is provided with a trapezoidal groove, and one side of the upper sliding plate is provided with a trapezoidal block, the trapezoidal block being slidably connected to the trapezoidal groove.

[0008] Optionally, the trapezoidal groove and the trapezoidal block are interference fits.

[0009] Optionally, both the fixed base plate and the upper sliding plate have a flat portion and inclined portions symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flat portion. The sides of the two inclined portions that are far apart from each other are respectively sealed and abutted against the two side walls of the opening. Multiple trapezoidal grooves and trapezoidal blocks are provided. Multiple trapezoidal grooves are respectively arranged on the flat portion and the inclined portion of the fixed base plate, and multiple trapezoidal blocks are respectively arranged on the flat portion and the inclined portion of the upper sliding plate.

[0010] Optionally, the bottom of the fixed base plate is provided with a snap head protruding outwards, and the air conditioner panel is provided with a mounting groove, and the snap head is snapped into the mounting groove.

[0011] Optionally, the fixed base plate is connected to the air conditioner panel by sealant, and the upper sliding plate is connected to the outdoor roof plate by sealant.

[0012] Optionally, both the fixed base plate and the upper sliding plate are made of EPP material.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Because the partition plate is fixedly installed and rigidly connected to the air conditioning panel via a fixed bracket, its height is fixed. This results in the partition plate not being able to reach the outdoor panel outside the RV roof, making it impossible to divide the return air space and the exhaust air space. Therefore, the adaptability and ease of installation of current RV air conditioning partition plates are insufficient and need to be improved.

[0014] This utility model provides a motorhome air conditioning panel with an independent air zone. By setting an isolation component between the air conditioning panel and the outdoor roof panel, the overall height of the isolation component can be adjusted by sliding an upper sliding plate on a fixed base plate. This allows the isolation component to be adjusted to the corresponding height according to the depth of the opening, effectively improving the adaptability of the isolation component. During installation, the height of the isolation component can be pre-adjusted according to the depth of the opening, or the isolation component and the air conditioning panel can be installed first, and then the upper sliding plate can be pushed to touch the outdoor roof. The installation is convenient and effectively improves the portability of the installation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a motorhome air conditioning panel with an independent airflow zone includes an outdoor roof panel 10 and an air conditioning panel 20 disposed above and below an opening 1. It should be noted that the opening 1 is an opening made in the roof of the motorhome for installing the motorhome air conditioner, and the depth of the opening 1 corresponds to the thickness of the motorhome. The outdoor roof panel 10 is the air conditioner located on the roof of the motorhome. Figure 1 Instead of a square shape, a baffle is usually installed on the inner wall of the opening 1 to prevent the roof layer from being exposed. This is a standard feature of existing RV structures and will not be described in detail. An adjustable-height isolation component 30 is installed between the air conditioning panel 20 and the outdoor roof panel 10, thereby dividing the top of the air conditioning panel 20 into two independent spaces that are not connected to each other. One of these independent spaces is a return air zone for the recirculation of air from the vehicle interior. The bottom of the air conditioning panel 20 is provided with a return air vent 200 corresponding to one of these independent spaces. Further explanation: the return air vent 200 is also equipped with a mesh screen, which can be directly clipped onto the air conditioning panel 20. Another independent space is the air outlet area, which is used to draw air out and blow it into the vehicle. The air conditioning panel 20 is provided with an air outlet 201 connected to the other independent space. There are multiple air outlets 201, which are located around the air conditioning panel 20. The air outlets 201 near the return air area are connected to the air outlet area through an air guide channel. The air guide channel is located in the return air area and connects to the air outlet area at one end and the air outlet 201 at the other end. The isolation component 30 includes a fixed base plate 31 and an upper sliding plate 32 that is slidably disposed on the fixed base plate 31, and the upper sliding plate 32 is close to the fixed base plate 31.

[0026] In addition, the upper sliding plate 32 and the fixed base plate 31 are in contact with each other on their facing sides. The fixed base plate 31 is vertically installed in the middle of the air conditioning panel 20, and the lower edge of the fixed base plate 31 is sealed against the air conditioning panel 20. The upper edge of the upper sliding plate 32 is sealed against the outdoor roof plate 10. The two sides of the fixed base plate 31 and the upper sliding plate 32 are respectively sealed against the two side walls of the opening 1. Specifically, the two sides of the fixed base plate 31 and the upper sliding plate 32 have flat surfaces, which are respectively against the two side walls of the opening 1. The isolation component 30 is against the air conditioning panel 20 through the fixed base plate 31 and against the outdoor roof plate 10 through the upper sliding plate 32, effectively preventing air from flowing between the two independent spaces.

[0027] The RV air conditioning panel with independent air zones provided by this utility model uses an isolation component 30 set between the air conditioning panel 20 and the outdoor roof panel 10. The overall height of the isolation component 30 is adjusted by sliding the upper sliding plate 32 on the fixed base plate 31. This allows the isolation component 30 to be adjusted according to the depth of the opening 1, effectively improving the adaptability of the isolation component 30. During installation, the height of the isolation component 30 can be pre-adjusted according to the depth of the opening 1, or the isolation component 30 and the air conditioning panel 20 can be installed first, and then the upper sliding plate 32 can be pushed to abut against the outdoor roof. No rigid connection such as screws is required, making installation convenient and effectively improving the portability of the installation.

[0028] In some embodiments, the fixed base plate 31 has a trapezoidal groove 322 on one side, and the upper sliding plate 32 has a trapezoidal block 321 on one side. The trapezoidal block 321 is slidably connected to the trapezoidal groove 322. The trapezoidal groove 322 and the trapezoidal block 321 have trapezoidal cross-sections. This shape effectively prevents the trapezoidal block 321 from directly disengaging from the trapezoidal groove 322. The height of the isolation component 30 can be adjusted by directly sliding the upper sliding plate 32. Moreover, the upper sliding plate 32 slides through the trapezoidal block 321 in the trapezoidal groove 322. This sliding structure enables the upper sliding plate 32 to slide linearly and can stop at any position on the sliding path, achieving stepless adjustment of the isolation component 30. In addition, since the trapezoidal groove 322 and the trapezoidal block 321 are interference fit, the trapezoidal groove 322 of the fixed base plate 31 can lock the trapezoidal block 321 of the upper sliding plate 32, so that the upper sliding plate 32 can be directly positioned at any position on the sliding path of the fixed base plate 31 after adjustment. Both the fixed base plate 31 and the upper sliding plate 32 have a flat portion and inclined portions symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flat portion. The sides of the two inclined portions that are far apart from each other are respectively sealed and abut against the two side walls of the opening 1. Multiple trapezoidal grooves 322 and trapezoidal blocks 321 are provided. Multiple trapezoidal grooves 322 are respectively arranged on the flat portion and the inclined portion of the fixed base plate 31, and multiple trapezoidal blocks 321 are respectively arranged on the flat portion and the inclined portion of the upper sliding plate 32. By using multiple trapezoidal grooves 322 and trapezoidal blocks 321 arranged on different planes to cooperate, the upper sliding plate 32 is prevented from shifting during the sliding process, ensuring that the upper sliding plate 32 slides vertically in a straight line.

[0029] In some embodiments, the bottom of the fixed base plate 31 is provided with a snap head 311 protruding outwards, and the air conditioner panel 20 is provided with an installation groove 203. The snap head 311 is snapped into the installation groove 203 to facilitate the installation of the fixed base plate 31 and the air conditioner panel 20. Simply press the snap head 311 into the position corresponding to the installation groove 203 and press the fixed base plate 31 down. After the fixed base plate 31 is installed, the upper sliding plate 32 is inserted from the top. The fixed base plate 31 is connected to the air conditioner panel 20 with sealant, and the upper sliding plate 32 is connected to the outdoor top plate 10 with sealant. After the isolation component 30 is adjusted to the desired height, the fixed base plate 31 abuts against the air conditioner panel 20, and the upper sliding plate 32 abuts against the outdoor top plate 10. At the same time, to prevent the upper sliding plate 32 from moving, it is fixed with sealant to ensure that the isolation component 30 is connected to the air conditioner panel 20 and the outdoor top plate 10, and can further seal the gap between the isolation component 30 and the air conditioner panel 20 / outdoor top plate 10.

[0030] In some embodiments, both the fixed base plate 31 and the upper sliding plate 32 are made of EPP material. EPP material has good resistance, good heat and low temperature resistance, good sealing performance, and can effectively block air, water vapor and heat insulation. Moreover, the one-piece molding of EPP material makes production more convenient.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
