Heat pump system for vehicle {Heat pump system for vehicle}

The present invention relates to a heat pump system for a vehicle, and more particularly, a heat having a cold air passage with an evaporator installed on the upper part of the old wall partitioning the interior of an air conditioning case up and down, and a hot air passage with a condenser installed in the lower part. In a pump system, a drain means is formed on a partition wall of the air conditioning case to drain the condensed water generated from the evaporator to the outside of the air conditioning case.

In general, as shown in FIG. 1, a general vehicle air conditioner system includes a compressor (1) that compresses and delivers refrigerant, a condenser (2) that condenses high-pressure refrigerant sent from the compressor (1), For example, an expansion valve (3) that throttles the refrigerant condensed and liquefied in the condenser (2), and the low pressure liquid refrigerant throttled by the expansion valve (3) is exchanged with air blown to the interior of the vehicle. It is composed of a refrigeration cycle consisting of an evaporator (4) that cools the air discharged into the room by an endothermic action by the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant by evaporation, and the refrigerant pipe is connected to the vehicle interior through the following refrigerant circulation process. To cool.

When the cooling switch (not shown) of the air conditioner system is turned on, the compressor 1 is driven by the power of an engine or a motor and sucks and compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the condenser 2 ), and the condenser 2 heats the gaseous refrigerant with outside air to condense it into a high temperature and high pressure liquid. Subsequently, the liquid refrigerant delivered from the condenser 2 at high temperature and high pressure is rapidly expanded due to the throttling action of the expansion valve 3 and sent to the evaporator 4 in a wet state of low temperature and low pressure, and the evaporator 4 The refrigerant is heat-exchanged with air blown into the vehicle interior by a blower (not shown). Accordingly, the refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator 4, discharged in a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous state, and is sucked into the compressor 1 to recycle the refrigeration cycle as described above.

The evaporator is installed inside the air conditioning case installed inside the vehicle to play a cooling role, that is, a liquid phase circulating in the evaporator 4 while the air blown by a blower (not shown) passes through the evaporator 4 It is cooled by the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant and discharged into the vehicle interior in a cold state.

In addition, heating of the interior of the vehicle uses a heater core (not shown) installed inside the air conditioning case to circulate engine coolant or an electric heating type heater (not shown) installed inside the air conditioning case. .

On the other hand, the condenser 2 is installed on the front side of the vehicle to heat dissipation with air and heat.

Recently, a heat pump system that performs cooling and heating using only a refrigeration cycle has been developed. As shown in FIG. 2, a cold air passage 11 and a hot air passage 12 inside one air conditioning case 10 ) Is formed to be divided left and right, an evaporator 4 for cooling is installed in the cooling air passage 11, and a condenser 2 for heating is installed in the hot air passage 12.

At this time, at the outlet side of the air conditioning case 10, an air outlet 15 for supplying air into the vehicle interior and an air outlet 16 for discharging air outside the vehicle interior are formed.

In addition, blowers 20 that operate individually are installed at each inlet side of the cold air passage 11 and the warm air passage 12.

Since the cold air passage 11 and the hot air passage 12 are arranged left and right (in the vehicle width direction), the two blowers 20 are also arranged left and right.

Therefore, in the cooling mode, the cool air cooled while passing through the evaporator 4 of the cooling air passage 11 is discharged into the vehicle interior through the air outlet 15 to be cooled, and at this time, the condenser of the hot air passage 12 ( The warm air heated while passing through 2) is discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the air outlet 16.

In the heating mode, the hot air heated while passing through the condenser 2 of the hot air passage 12 is discharged into the vehicle interior through the air outlet 15 to be heated, and at this time, the evaporator 4 of the cold air passage 11 ), the cooled air is discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the air outlet 16.

Meanwhile, a drain part (not shown) is provided under the air conditioning case 10 to drain the condensed water generated in the evaporator 4.

However, as in the prior art, in the structure in which the evaporator 4 and the condenser 2 are arranged left and right, there is no difficulty in configuring the drain part because it is sufficient to form a drain part under the air conditioning case 10, When the evaporator 4 and the condenser 2 are arranged in a different arrangement than the left and right arrangements, for example, in a structure in which the evaporator 4 and the condenser 2 are arranged up and down, a drain part is formed on the side of the air conditioning case 10 due to the arrangement structure of the evaporator 4 Had a difficult problem.

In addition, the cooling air passage 11 (evaporator) and the hot air passage 12 (condenser) are also arranged left and right due to the structure in which the discharge ports of each of the blowers 20 are arranged side by side in left and right directions (vehicle width direction). As a result, the size of the system is increased, and it is difficult to miniaturize the system.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is in a heat pump system in which a cold air passage is formed in which an evaporator is installed in the upper part of the old wall partitioning the interior of the air conditioning case up and down, and a hot air passage is formed in which a condenser is installed in the lower part, By forming a drain means on the partition wall of the air conditioning case to drain the condensed water generated from the evaporator to the outside of the air conditioning case, the drain means can be conveniently configured even in a structure in which the evaporator and the condenser are arranged up and down. By preventing the condensed water generated from the evaporator from falling into the condenser under the partition wall, it is possible to improve heating performance and reduce air flow resistance. In addition, the evaporator and the hot air passage of the cold air passage due to the alternate arrangement structure of the discharge ports of the first and second blowers It is to provide a heat pump system for vehicles that can reduce the system size by arranging the condenser in the top and bottom.

The present invention for achieving the above object is, in a vehicle heat pump system consisting of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion means, and an evaporator connected by a refrigerant circulation line, a cold air passage is formed at the upper part of the partition wall partitioning the interior upward and downward. And a hot air passage is formed in the lower part, the evaporator is installed in the cold air passage, the air conditioning case in which the condenser is installed in the hot air passage, and an air conditioning case installed at the inlet side of the air conditioning case to blow air into the cold air passage and the hot air passage. And a blower device, wherein the air conditioning case is provided with a drain means to drain the condensed water generated from the evaporator above the partition wall to the outside of the air conditioning case.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown, in the vehicle heat pump system according to the present invention, a compressor (not shown) -> condenser 102 -> expansion means (not shown) -> evaporator 104 is connected to a refrigerant circulation line (not shown) Thus, cooling is performed through the evaporator 104 and heating is performed through the condenser 102.

First, the compressor is driven by receiving power from a power supply source (such as an engine or a motor) and suction-compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the evaporator 104 and discharges it in a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state.

The condenser 102 exchanges heat between the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor and flowing through the condenser 102 and the air passing through the condenser 102. In this process, the refrigerant is condensed, Air is heated and turned into warm air.

The condenser 102 has a structure in which a refrigerant purifying line (refrigerant pipe) is formed in a zigzag shape and then a radiating fin (not shown) is installed, or a plurality of tubes (not shown) are stacked and a radiating fin is installed between each tube. It can be composed of one structure.

Accordingly, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor is condensed by heat exchange with air while flowing along the zigzag-shaped refrigerant circulation line or a plurality of tubes, and at this time, the air passing through the condenser 102 is heated and converted into warm air. It becomes.

In addition, the expansion means (not shown) rapidly expands the liquid refrigerant discharged from the condenser 102 and flows through a throttling action to be sent to the evaporator 104 in a wet state of low temperature and low pressure.

An expansion valve or an orifice structure may be used as the expansion means.

The evaporator 104 cools the air through an endothermic action by the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant by exchanging heat with the air in the air conditioning case 110 to evaporate the low pressure liquid refrigerant discharged from the expansion means and flowing.

Subsequently, the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant evaporated and discharged from the evaporator 104 is sucked back into the compressor to recycle the cycle as described above.

In addition, in the refrigerant circulation process as described above, in the cooling of the interior of the vehicle, the air blown from the blower 130 flows into the air conditioning case 110 and passes through the evaporator 104 while circulating inside the evaporator 104. It is cooled by the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid refrigerant and is discharged into the vehicle interior in a cold state.

In the heating of the interior of the vehicle, air blown from the blower 130 flows into the air conditioning case 110 and passes through the condenser 102 and is heated by heat dissipation of a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant circulating inside the condenser 102. It is achieved by being discharged into the interior of the vehicle in a heated state.

In addition, in the air conditioning case 110, a cold air passage 111 and a hot air passage 112 are formed by partition walls 113 that divide the interior of the air conditioning case 110 up and down.

That is, the cold air passage 111 is formed at an upper portion with respect to the partition wall 113, and the hot air passage 112 is formed at a lower portion with respect to the partition wall 113.

In addition, the evaporator 104 is installed in the cold air passage 111, and the condenser 102 is installed in the hot air passage 112, and the upper and lower portions of the cold air passage 111 and the warm air passage 112 Due to the arrangement structure, the evaporator 104 and the condenser 102 are also arranged up and down.

In other words, the evaporator 104 and the condenser 102 are disposed in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first and second blowers 130a and 130b, in which the rotational axes of the motors 133 and 137 are directed.

On the other hand, the evaporator 104 installed in the cold air passage 111 and the condenser 102 installed in the warm air passage 112 are each horizontally ?to賤側? It is installed. At this time, the evaporator 104 and the condenser 102 may be installed horizontally with the partition wall 113, but as shown in the drawing, it is preferable that the evaporator 104 and the condenser 102 are installed at an inclined angle with the partition wall 113.

In addition, a bypass passage 114 for bypassing a portion of the hot air passing through the condenser 102 in the hot air passage 112 toward the cold air passage 111 is formed through the partition wall 113.

At this time, a bypass door 115 for opening and closing the bypass passage 114 is installed in the bypass passage 114.

Therefore, when the bypass door 115 is in the cooling mode with the bypass passage 114 closed, the cool air cooled by the evaporator 104 is supplied into the vehicle interior while flowing through the cooling air passage 111 to cool the vehicle. In the heating mode, the hot air heated by the condenser 102 is supplied to the vehicle interior while flowing through the hot air passage 112 to perform heating.

In addition, in the heating mode, when the bypass door 115 opens the bypass passage 114, a part of the hot air heated by the condenser 102 while flowing through the warm air passage 112 By bypassing the cold air passage 111 through the passage 114 and supplied to the evaporator 104, the amount of air flowing into the evaporator 104 is increased, and the temperature of the air flowing into the evaporator 104 even in a cryogenic environment As the evaporator 104 increases, the evaporator 104 smoothly absorbs heat, thereby increasing the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant in the system, thereby increasing the temperature of the air discharged into the vehicle interior, thereby improving the heating performance.

In addition, by supplying a part of the warm air heated by the condenser 102 to the evaporator 104 side, it is possible to prevent the evaporator 104 from forming.

That is, when the bypass passage 114 is positioned on the same line with the upper side of the partition wall 113, the condensed water generated from the evaporator 104 falls to the upper side of the partition wall 113 Since it can easily flow into the bypass passage 114, the condensed water dropped to the upper side of the partition wall 113 by forming the bypass passage 114 at a position higher than the upper side of the partition wall 113 Can be prevented from flowing into the bypass passage 114.

Meanwhile, in the partition wall 113, the area of the portion where the bypass passage 114 is formed is formed to protrude upward, and the bypass passage 114 is formed at the protruding portion of the partition wall 113 By forming the bypass passage 114 is configured at a position higher than the upper side of the partition wall 113.

In addition, the condenser 102 is installed upstream of the bypass passage 114 in the air flow direction in the hot air passage 112. Accordingly, the hot air heated while passing through the condenser 102 may be supplied to the evaporator 104 through the bypass passage 114.
