Abstract
In an air conditioning system for a mobility vehicle, air is introduced into a housing in multiple directions including forward, rearward, leftward, and rightward directions, such that outside air is introduced into a heat exchanger in the housing and heat exchange is performed regardless of the traveling direction of the mobility vehicle. In addition, the amount of outside air to be provided to an external heat exchanger is adjusted depending on the traveling direction of the mobility vehicle or on whether a heat pump is used.
Claims15
An air conditioning system for a mobility vehicle, the air conditioning system comprising:
- a housing that defines an air inlet port and an air discharge port, the air inlet port extending along a rim of the housing;
- a heat exchange unit disposed in the housing;
- a door disposed at the housing and configured to move upward and downward along a height direction of the mobility vehicle to thereby open and close the air inlet port based on the position of the door;
- a drive unit connected to the door and configured to adjust the position of the door in an upward-downward direction extending along the height direction;
- and
- a controller configured to control the drive unit based on a preset logic,
- wherein the drive unit comprises:
- a drive motor disposed in the housing and configured to generate driving power, and
- a movable member that extends across an inside of the door and is connected to the drive motor and the door, the movable member being configured to move upward or downward along the upward-downward direction by the driving power of the drive motor to thereby move the door in the upward-downward direction, and
- wherein the door includes a guide slit configured to receive the movable member and to guide movement of the movable member in the upward-downward direction.
