Abstract
An embodiment provides a vehicle heating device for heating a vehicle interior through heat radiation or heat convection using a heating unit connected to an air-conditioning casing. Accordingly, the vehicle heating device may improve the performance, efficiency, and quality in heating the vehicle interior through at least any one of heat convection and heat radiation using the heating unit.
Claims20
A vehicle heating device comprising:
- a heating unit having one side connected to an air-conditioning casing and the other side disposed toward an occupant in an occupant compartment, the heating unit being configured to radiate heat,
- wherein the heating unit heats an interior of the occupant compartment through at least any one of heat convection and heat radiation,
- wherein the heat convection is formed in the occupant compartment by heating air supplied from the air-conditioning casing and passing through the heating unit, and
- wherein the heat radiation heats the occupant by radiating heat directly toward the occupant.
1 more element
A heating unit comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- a planar upper heating element and a planar lower heating element disposed on the frame and spaced apart from each other to define a heat exchange region,
- wherein the upper heating element and the lower heating element each comprise:
- a planar body having a plurality of ventilation holes;
- heat generating parts mounted on the body;
- and
- first and second electrodes disposed on the body and configured to apply power to the heat generating parts, and
- wherein heat radiated from the upper heating element and heat radiated from the lower heating element exchange heat with air passing through the heat exchange region in the heat exchange region.
