Abstract
A multi-axis passenger-carrying aircraft comprises: an electrical system; a heat exchange system; a cabin; and an accommodating compartment arranged inside the cabin; wherein the electrical system is arranged inside the accommodating compartment, and wherein the heat exchange system comprises at least an air inlet communicated with the exterior of the cabin, an air outlet communicated with the accommodating compartment, and a cooler with an air inlet end communicated with the air inlet and an air outlet end communicated with the air outlet. In operation, air outside the aircraft may enter the heat exchange system via the air inlet and the cooler via the air inlet end to be cooled by the cooler. The cooled air may be discharged via the air outlet end and then enter the accommodating compartment via the air outlet, providing cool air to the accommodating compartment and dissipating heat from the electrical system.
Claims

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0018] Examples for the purpose of illustrating the embodiments of the present disclosure only will be described in details with reference to the drawings.
[0019] As shown in
[0020] In operation, air outside the aircraft may enter the heat exchange system via the air inlet 10 and the cooler 30 via the air inlet end 310 to be cooled by the cooler 30. The cooled air may be discharged via the air outlet end 320 and enter the accommodating compartment via the air outlet 20, providing cool air to the accommodating compartment and dissipating heat from the electrical system. In this way, it allows more stable operation of the electrical system and higher safety factor of the aircraft to ensure its safety.
[0021] In this embodiment, the cooler 30 may be provided with a heat exchange air duct (not labeled in the figure) formed by a plurality of semiconductor chilling plates arranged in a circle (not labeled in the figure), with the air inlet end 310 and the air outlet end 320 both communicated with the heat exchange air duct. The cooler 30 may perform heating or cooling with the semiconductor chilling plates, without the need for a compressor or coolant, which is safe and environmental friendly, providing higher safety factor of the aircraft. Meanwhile, it is small in volume and light in weight, allowing lighter total weight of the aircraft. In addition, there is no sliding component and thus high reliability and low noise, further promoting the comfort during the ride. Other heat exchange forms may be adopted by the cooler 30 as desired in practice.
[0022] As shown in
[0023] In this embodiment, two water drainages 420 may be provided symmetrically in the circulating pipeline 410. The two water drainages 420 provided symmetrically allow better cooling effect. More than one water drainages 420 may be provided as desired in practice.
[0024] Furthermore, the multi-axis passenger-carrying aircraft may further comprise a temperature sensor (not labeled in the figure) provided within the accommodating compartment and a controller (not labeled in the figure) electrically connected to the temperature sensor and electrically connected to the cooler 30. The temperature sensor detects the temperature within the accommodating compartment and sending the data collected to the controller. The controller regulates the temperature inside the accommodating compartment by manipulating the operation of the cooler 30, resulting in smart regulation.
[0025] As shown in
[0026] In this embodiment, the multi-axis passenger-carrying aircraft is provided with two air inlets 10, and a second centrifugal fan 70 is provided at the air inlet 10. The air outlet duct 50 is communicated with two air outlets 20. The cabin is provided with the second centrifugal fan 70 in the roof, the cooler 30 in the lateral plate, and the accommodating compartment in the floor. The air may be sent to the cooler 30 by the second centrifugal fan 70 via an air duct 80 and then to the accommodating compartment via the air outlet end 320. The second centrifugal fan 70, the cooler 30, and the accommodating compartment may be located anywhere else inside the cabin as desired in practice. The numbers of the air inlet 10 and air outlet 20 may be more than one, as desired in practice.
[0027] The technical features in the embodiments above may be implemented in any combination. For the purpose of simplicity, not all combinations are described herein. However, such combination should all be considered within the scope of the present disclosure provide that there is no contradiction.
[0028] The detailed embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way. It would be understand by a person skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Such changes and modifications are contemplated by the present disclosure, the scope of which should only be defined by the following claims.
