The energy-controlling part includes a PVC switch sheet 3, a rear air conditioner cover 4, a control mainboard, a first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 and a front air conditioner cover 7 in sequence according to their assembly order.
The front air conditioner cover 7 and the rear air conditioner cover 4 have shell-like structures corresponding to each other. An accommodating cavity with a sealed circumference is formed after the front air conditioner cover 7 and the rear air conditioner cover 4 are assembled. The control mainboard and the first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 are mounted and fixed inside the accommodating cavity. By covering an air outlet of the air conditioner with the front air conditioner cover 7 and the rear air conditioner cover 4 of the energy-controlling part, cold or hot air is amplified when it passes through the first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 and transmitted to the seat cushion part through the transmission part, and then the air is transmitted to a position at a passenger's lower body.
The energy-controlling part further includes a magnet for a mobile phone holder, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity and is attached to an inner surface of the front air conditioner cover 7. The magnet for a mobile phone holder and the first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 have a gap therebetween to prevent the operation of the first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 adversely affecting magnetism of the magnet. Additionally, the magnet for a mobile phone holder is attached to the rear air conditioner cover 4, which provides a mounting position for a mobile phone, allowing the driver to use the mobile phone for navigation during the trip.
A metal bracket buckle 8 is provided on an outer side of the rear air conditioner cover 4. The energy-controlling part is detachably connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner through the metal bracket buckle 8. A rubber fixing member 9 is sleeved on the metal bracket buckle 8. High friction of the rubber material of the rubber fixing member 9 ensures that the energy-controlling part of the air-conditioning cushion for vehicles is clamped and mounted on the fan of the air outlet of the air conditioner more stably and reliably.
The seat cushion part includes a PE cushion 1 and a fabric cover/leather cover 11 covering the PE cushion 1. A plurality of hollow regions are evenly distributed on upper and lower surfaces of the PE cushion 1, and an air passage is formed between the hollow regions for transmitting amplified air from the air conditioner of the vehicle. Further, symmetrical cushion air inlets 10 are provided at left and right corners of the PE cushion 1, the cushion air inlets 10 are connected to an air outlet end of the transmission part, the cushion air inlet 10 at the right corner is for a driver's seat, and the cushion air inlet 10 on the left corner is for a passenger's seat. Since the PE cushion 1 has a hollow structure, a large amount of air is output from the hollow regions, and the material of the PE cushion 1 is relatively hard, therefore, covering the PE cushion 1 with soft and air permeable fabric cover/leather cover 11 may effectively filter and soften the outgoing airflow, and improve the comfort of use. Moreover, the fabric cover/leather cover 11 may also effectively prevent water stains, dust and other impurities in the environment from entering the hollow part of the PE cushion 1 and causing trouble to cleaning and antibacterial. More specifically, the fabric cover/leather cover covered on the periphery of the PE cushion 1 may also be made of other air permeable and soft materials. An air discharging assembly is arranged on an upper part of the PE cushion 1 at a position fitting with a crotch part of human body while seating, and a bottom part of the air discharging assembly is equipped with a connecting wire cover 13, a second high-speed centrifugal fan 14 and a connecting wire board 15.

An accommodating cavity with a sealed circumference is formed after the front air conditioner cover 7 and the rear air conditioner cover 4 are assembled. The control mainboard and the first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 are mounted and fixed inside the accommodating cavity. By covering the air outlet of the air conditioner with the front air conditioner cover 7 and the rear air conditioner cover 4 of the energy-controlling part, cold or hot air is amplified when it passes through the first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 and transmitted to the seat cushion part through the transmission part, and is further transmitted to the position corresponding to a passenger's lower body.

Since the PE cushion 1 has a hollow structure, a large amount of air is output from the hollow regions, and the material of the PE cushion 1 is relatively hard, therefore, covering the PE cushion 1 with soft and air permeable fabric cover/leather cover 11 may effectively filter and soften the outgoing airflow, and improve the comfort of use. Moreover, the fabric cover/leather cover 11 may also effectively prevent water stains, dust and other impurities in the environment from entering the hollow part of the PE cushion 1 and causing trouble to cleaning and antibacterial. More specifically, the fabric cover/leather cover covered on the periphery of the PE cushion 1 may also be made of other air permeable and soft materials. An air discharging assembly is arranged on an upper part of the PE cushion 1 at a position fitting with a crotch part of human body while seating, and a bottom part of the air discharging assembly is equipped with a connecting wire cover 13, a second high-speed centrifugal fan 14 and a connecting wire board 15.

The energy-controlling part is connected to and powered by an external cigarette lighter through a USB cable, and the energy-controlling part is controlled with multiple levels through a wire switch 5 in the cigarette lighter.
The present embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that an outer periphery of the front air conditioner cover 7 is equipped with a vacuum suction cup which has a size matching a size of an outer ring of the air outlet of the air conditioner, so that the energy-controlling part is closely attached to an outer side of the air conditioner through the vacuum suction cup. Since the space inside the vacuum suction cup completely covers the air outlet of the air conditioner, air from the air outlet of the air conditioner may all enter into the energy-controlling part, and is amplified when it passes through the first high-speed centrifugal fan 6 to increase the air volume. The amplified air is transmitted to the seat cushion part through the PE air guiding tube 2 of the transmission part, and is further transmitted to the second high-speed centrifugal fan 14 through hollow passages defined by protrusions on the PE seat cushion 1, and the air is further amplified by the second high-speed centrifugal fan 14. The amplified air is output through the air outlet cover 12 of the air discharging assembly in the middle of the PE cushion 1 that fits the crotch part of a human body. The air from the air outlet of the air conditioner is collected and amplified to the greatest extent, and is transmitted to the crotch part of the human body, allowing the crotch part to keep cool and dry and inhibiting the growth of bacteria. In addition, the vacuum suction cup cooperate with the metal bracket buckle 8 and the rubber fixing member 9 to ensure a stable and reliable connection between the energy-controlling part and the air outlet of the air conditioner.
