It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The air conditioning system and the vehicle according to the present application will be further explained with reference to the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning apparatus 100 and a vehicle 200 equipped with the air conditioning apparatus 100. In the present embodiment, the vehicle 200 refers to a device for people to ride or transport, in which a power device having one or more motors generates a forward pushing or pulling force. Specifically, the vehicle 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application may be a manned airplane, a flying automobile, an automobile (e.g., a new energy automobile, a gasoline automobile), and the like. The air conditioning device 100 is provided in a vehicle 200 for conditioning the air temperature inside the vehicle 200.

In the present embodiment, the vehicle 200 includes a head 210, a nacelle 230, a dash panel 250, and the air conditioning apparatus 100 described above. The nose 210 is provided with a front compartment 212, and the front compartment 212 is used for placing the engine and adapting a cooling system, an electric system and the like with the engine. The cabin 230 is connected to the head 210 and is provided with a passenger compartment 232 adapted for a driver to sit on, the passenger compartment 232 being used for placing instruments, seats and the like. The dash panel 250 is provided between the head 210 and the cabin 230, that is, between the front cabin 212 and the passenger cabin, divided by the dash panel 250. In the embodiment of the present application, a part of the structure of the air-conditioning apparatus 100 is mounted on the side of the dash panel 250 facing the front compartment 212, and another part of the structure is mounted on the side of the dash panel 250 facing the passenger compartment 232. In some embodiments, the vehicle 200 is a new energy vehicle that includes a powertrain, a transmission, and a travel system. The power system provides driving force for the new energy automobile and further drives a running system (such as an axle and wheels) to work through a transmission system. Since the power system (e.g., the power battery pack) of the new energy automobile is disposed at the bottom of the automobile, there is enough space in the front compartment 212 of the new energy automobile for placing a part of the structure of the air conditioning equipment 100. In addition, the sufficient space in the front compartment 212 also ensures that the operator has sufficient operating space when performing maintenance and replacement of the air-conditioning apparatus 100 in the front compartment 212, improving the convenience of maintenance.

In other embodiments, the vehicle 200 is a fuel-powered vehicle, and although the front compartment 212 of the fuel-powered vehicle houses a power system (e.g., an engine), the vehicle 200 of the present embodiment provides a remaining space within the front compartment 212 for housing a portion of the structure of the air conditioning unit 100. Since a part of the structure of the air conditioning apparatus 100 is disposed in the front compartment 212, the space occupied by the air conditioning apparatus 100 in the passenger compartment 232 is reduced, so that the seating space (e.g., footfall space) of the driver in the passenger compartment 232 can be increased, and the comfort of the driver in the vehicle can be improved.

Referring to fig. 2 to 5, the air conditioning apparatus 100 includes an air intake device 10, a blower device 30, and an air distribution device 50. The air intake device 10 is suitable for being installed on one side of the front wall panel 250 facing the front compartment 212, and specifically, a first through hole 252 is formed in the front wall panel 250, and an inner cavity of the air intake device 10 is communicated with the passenger compartment 232 through the first through hole 252, so as to achieve internal circulation air intake. The air blowing device 30 is connected to the air intake device 10, and the inner cavity of the air blowing device 30 is communicated with the inner cavity of the air intake device 10. The air distribution device 50 is adapted to be installed on a side of the dash panel 250 facing the passenger compartment 232, an inner cavity of the air distribution device 50 is communicated with an inner cavity of the air blowing device 30, specifically, a second through hole 254 is opened on the dash panel 250, and the inner cavity of the air distribution device 50 is communicated with the inner cavity of the air blowing device 30 through the second through hole 254. The present application reduces the occupied space of the air conditioning apparatus 100 for the passenger compartment 232 by installing the air intake device 10 and the air distribution device 50 on the opposite sides of the dash panel 250, so that the driver can feel more comfortable when riding in the passenger compartment 232.

The respective devices in the air conditioning apparatus 100 will be described below.

Referring to fig. 6, the air intake device 10 includes an air intake chamber 120 and a water collecting member 140, and the water collecting member 140 is connected to the air intake chamber 120 and is used for discharging the water vapor or liquid in the air intake chamber 120.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the air inlet chamber 120 is substantially a housing structure having a cavity, and is provided with a first air inlet 121, a second air inlet 122 and a water outlet 123. The first air inlet 121 serves as an external circulation air inlet of the air conditioning apparatus 100, and is adapted to be disposed toward the front in the driving direction of the vehicle 200 and communicate the inner cavity of the air inlet chamber 120 with the front compartment 212. Therefore, when the vehicle 200 is in a driving state, air in front of the vehicle 200 enters the front compartment 212, and then can enter the air inlet chamber 120 through the first air inlet 121, and further enter the blower device 30, and finally is blown to the passenger compartment 232 through the air distribution device 50, so that external circulation air inlet of the air conditioning equipment 100 is realized.

The second air inlet 122 is used as an internal circulation air inlet of the air conditioning apparatus 100 and is adapted to communicate with the passenger compartment 232, in some embodiments, the second air inlet 122 is opened on a side of the housing of the air intake device 10 facing away from the first air inlet 121, and a portion of the housing structure where the second air inlet 122 is located is fixedly connected to a side of the dash panel 250 facing the front compartment 212 in the vehicle 200 by a fastener (e.g., a bolt) and is communicated with the first through hole 252 on the dash panel 250. Therefore, when the air conditioning device 100 is in an operating state, air in the passenger compartment 232 can enter the air inlet chamber 120 through the second air inlet 122, and then enter the blowing device 30, and finally is blown to the passenger compartment 232 through the air distribution device 50, so that internal circulation air inlet of the air conditioning device 100 is realized. In addition, in order to improve the sealing property between the intake device 10 and the dash panel 250, a sealing strip, for example, a sponge sealing strip, a rubber sealing strip, or the like, is provided at the junction between the intake device 10 and the dash panel 250.

In the embodiment of the present application, the air inlet chamber 120 has a first end 124 and a second end 125, the first air inlet 121 is formed on the first end 124, and the second air inlet 122 is formed on the second end 125. The angle θ between the positive direction M of the outer normal of the first end surface 124 and the positive direction N of the outer normal of the second end surface 125 is greater than 90 degrees. Here, the "outer normal line of the first end surface 124" refers to a straight line perpendicular to the plane of the first end surface 124, and the direction of the straight line is a direction of a portion outside the plane of the first end surface 124. The "positive direction M" refers to a pointing direction of a straight line on which the outer normal of the first end surface 124 is located. Similarly, the "positive direction N" is known, and will not be described herein. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the size of the included angle between the outer normal of the first end surface 124 and the vertical surface is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and the size of the included angle between the outer normal of the second end surface 124 and the vertical surface is approximately equal to 90 degrees, so that the first air inlet 121 and the second air inlet 122 are arranged in a staggered manner, the occurrence of the situation that air blown in from the first air inlet 121 is directly blown out from the second air inlet 122 is avoided, the occurrence of the situation that air blown in from the second air inlet 122 is directly blown out from the first air inlet 121 is avoided, and the smooth operation of the air conditioning equipment 100 is ensured.

In addition, in some embodiments, the included angle between the outer normal of the first end surface 124 and the vertical surface is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than 90 degrees, so that the first end surface 124 is not a horizontal plane, and the first air inlet 121 at the first end surface 124 is not disposed along the direction of the top of the vehicle 200, but disposed towards the front of the driving direction of the vehicle 200, thereby ensuring that there is sufficient air intake during the driving of the vehicle 200, and improving the working efficiency of the air conditioning apparatus 100.

The water outlet 123 is adapted to communicate with the water collecting member 140, that is, the air inlet chamber 120 is connected to the water collecting member 140 through the water outlet 123, when the air entering the air inlet chamber 120 contains moisture or liquid (for example, when the vehicle 200 is running in a rainy day, external rain water is blown into the air inlet chamber 120 through the first air inlet 121), the moisture or liquid (for example, rain water) can enter the water collecting member 140 through the water outlet 123, and then the moisture or liquid is discharged through the water collecting member 140, so that the risk of the air conditioning device 100 failing due to the water entering the air inlet chamber 120 is reduced, and the safety performance of the air conditioning device 100 is improved.

In the embodiment of the present application, the water collecting member 140 is connected to the air inlet chamber 120 through the water outlet 123, wherein the water collecting member 140 and the air inlet chamber 120 may be integrally formed, so that the sealing performance between the water collecting member 140 and the air inlet chamber 120 is better. The water collecting member 140 may also be detachably connected to the air inlet chamber 120, for example, the water collecting member 140 is connected to the air inlet chamber 120 through a fastening member, so that a driver can detach and clean the water collecting member 140, and the situation that the water collecting member 140 is blocked and the drainage performance is affected is avoided. The water collecting member 140 has a substantially tubular structure with both ends open to facilitate discharge of impurities. In this embodiment, the water collecting inlet 141 and the water collecting outlet 143 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the water collecting member 140, the water collecting inlet 141 is communicated with the water outlet 123, and the water collecting outlet 143 communicates the inner cavity of the water collecting member 140 with the outside. Therefore, after the moisture or liquid in the air inlet chamber 120 enters the inner cavity of the water collecting member 140 through the water collecting inlet 141, the moisture or liquid is discharged through the water collecting outlet 143. In this embodiment, the distance between the water collecting inlet 141 and the first air inlet 121 is less than the distance between the water collecting outlet 143 and the first air inlet 121, and since the first air inlet 121 is disposed toward the front of the driving direction of the vehicle 200 in this application, the water collecting outlet 143 is disposed away from the front of the driving direction of the vehicle 200, which can prevent the air in front of the vehicle 200 from flowing backward into the air inlet chamber 120 through the water collecting outlet 143 when the vehicle 200 is in a driving state, thereby ensuring that the water collecting member 140 can smoothly discharge the water vapor or the liquid in the air inlet chamber 120.

Further, in the present embodiment, the water collection member 140 includes a first end portion 145 and a second end portion 147, and the first end portion 145 and the second end portion 147 are respectively located at opposite ends of the water collection member 140. The interior cavity of the water collection member 140 forms a water collection inlet 141 through the first end 145 and a water collection outlet 143 through the second end 147. The extending direction O of the inner cavity of the water collecting member 140 is inclined with respect to the air intake direction of the first air intake opening 121, wherein the "extending direction O of the inner cavity of the water collecting member 140" can be understood as a straight direction pointing from the water collecting inlet 141 to the water collecting outlet 143, and the "air intake direction of the first air intake opening 121" is a positive direction M of the outer normal of the first end surface 124. Therefore, the water collecting part 140 is obliquely arranged, so that the extending direction O of the inner cavity of the water collecting part 140 is not parallel to the air inlet direction of the first air inlet 121, water vapor or liquid in the water collecting part 140 can slide from the water collecting inlet 141 to the water collecting outlet 143 under the action of gravity, and the water vapor or liquid can be smoothly discharged.

In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the water collection outlet 143 is smaller than that of the water collection inlet 141, so that the water collection outlet 143 can restrict the air in the inner cavity of the water collection member 140, so that only a small portion of the air entering the air inlet chamber 120 can be discharged through the water collection member 140, and most of the air can be blown to the passenger compartment 232, thereby ensuring that the air conditioning apparatus 100 can work normally.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the air inlet compartment 120 includes a first side wall 126 and a second side wall 127 opposite to each other, and the water collecting member 140 is connected to the second side wall 127. The extending direction of the second side wall 147 is substantially the same as the extending direction of the inner cavity of the water collecting member 140, so that the water vapor or liquid falling on the second side wall 127 can smoothly enter the water collecting member 140. Specifically, the air intake device 10 further includes a first baffle 160, one end of the first baffle 160 is connected to the first sidewall 126, and the other end is spaced apart from the second sidewall 127. Specifically, the first baffle 160 extends in a direction substantially the same as the first intake vent 121 and is located between the drain opening 123 and the first intake vent 121, so that, in one aspect, the first baffle 160 can block moisture or liquid entering from the first intake vent 121. On the other hand, the first baffle 160 can also play a role of guiding moisture or liquid, so that moisture or liquid collected on the first baffle 160 can smoothly fall into the drain opening 123 along the extending direction of the first baffle 160.

In some embodiments, the intake assembly 10 further includes a second baffle 180, the second baffle 180 having one end connected to the second sidewall 127 and another end spaced apart from the first sidewall 126. Specifically, the extending direction of the second baffle 180 is substantially the same as the extending direction of the first intake vent 121, and is located between the first intake vent 121 and the first baffle 160. Therefore, the inner cavity of the air inlet chamber 120 is divided by the first baffle 160 and the second baffle 180, so that the moisture or liquid entering from the first air inlet 121 can be sufficiently blocked by the first baffle 160 and the second baffle 180. In the present embodiment, the distance between the second baffle 180 and the drain opening 123 in the vertical direction is greater than the distance between the first baffle 160 and the drain opening 123 in the vertical direction, that is, the end of the second baffle 180 remote from the second sidewall 127 is higher in the vertical direction than the end of the first baffle 160 remote from the first sidewall 126. Therefore, the first and

second baffles

160 and 180 together form a labyrinth type air passage, so that impurities in the air inlet chamber 120 can be effectively blocked.

In some embodiments, the air intake device 10 further includes a first air door, a first air door motor, a second air door, and a second air door motor (none of which is shown), wherein the first air door and the second air door are respectively covered on the first air inlet 121 and the second air inlet 122, and the first air door motor and the second air door motor are respectively electrically connected to the first air door and the second air door and are used for controlling the opening and closing of the first air door and the second air door. In some embodiments, in the case where the air conditioning apparatus 100 is not in the operating mode, the first damper and the second damper are both in the closed state, and foreign substances (e.g., dust) can be prevented from entering the air inlet device 10.

Referring to fig. 5 again, the air intake device 10 further includes a filter 190, the filter 190 is connected between the air intake chamber 120 and the blower device 30, that is, the air in the air intake chamber 120 enters the blower device 30 after passing through the filter 190, and the filter 190 serves to filter impurities (e.g., fine particles, pollen, industrial waste gas, dust, etc.) in the air, so as to create a good air environment for the driver and passengers in the passenger compartment 232. Specifically, the filter 190 may be a general filter or an activated carbon filter, and is not limited in this application. In addition, the filter 190 of the embodiment of the present application is disposed in the front compartment 212 and detachably connected to the air inlet compartment 120, which facilitates regular maintenance and replacement by a service person.

The blowing device 30 is connected to the air intake device 10, and specifically, the blowing device 30 includes a blowing chamber 310, and an inner cavity of the blowing chamber 310 is communicated with an inner cavity of the air intake chamber 120. The blower chamber 310 includes a first communication port 312 and a second communication port 314, and the blower chamber 310 is respectively communicated with the air intake device 10 and the air distribution device 50 through the first communication port 312 and the second communication port 314. In the embodiment of the present application, the blowing device 30 further includes a blower (not shown) disposed in the blower chamber 310, and the blower operates to draw external air into the blower chamber 310 through the air inlet chamber 120, so as to increase the air flow speed in the air conditioning apparatus 100. The blower 30 may further include an evaporator 330, and the evaporator 330 is connected between the blower chamber 310 and the air distributor 50, and may perform an effect of cooling air blown to the air distributor 50 from the blower chamber 310.

The blower and evaporator 330 of the present embodiment are disposed in the front compartment 212 and are detachably connected to the blower chamber 310, which facilitates regular maintenance and replacement by maintenance personnel. In addition, the evaporator 330 is arranged in the front cabin 212, and the condition that condensed water in the evaporator 330 leaks to cause water to enter the passenger cabin 232 can be avoided.

In some embodiments, both the air blowing device 30 and the air intake device 10 are mounted on a side of the dash panel 250 facing the front compartment 212. For example, the partial shell structure in which the second communication port 314 is located is fixedly connected to the dash panel 250 on the side toward the front compartment 212 by a fastener (e.g., a bolt), and communicates with the second through hole 254 on the dash panel 250. Further, in order to improve the sealing property between the air blowing device 30 and the dash panel 250, a sealing strip, for example, a sponge sealing strip, a rubber sealing strip, or the like, is provided at the junction of the air blowing device 30 and the dash panel 250.

In some embodiments, the air blowing device 30 and the air intake device 10 are arranged side by side in the width direction of the vehicle 200, or in the height direction of the vehicle 200, so that the overall structure of the air conditioning apparatus 100 is more compact and reasonable.

Specifically, the air distribution device 50 includes an air distribution chamber 510, and an inner cavity of the air distribution chamber 510 communicates with an inner cavity of the blast chamber 310. Wherein the air distribution chamber 510 comprises a third communication port 512 and at least one air distribution port 514.
