Air vent dial for vehicle

Abstract

Provided is an air vent dial for a vehicle, comprising: an air vent housing(10) having an air path and a damper (11) for opening or closing the air path; a dial housing (20) provided to the lower portion of the air vent housing (10) and having an opening portion (21) and a holding protrusion (22); a dial assembly (30) rotationally coupled to the dial housing (20) and having a front dial knob (31) fitted into the opening portion (21) and a rear fixing plate (32) connected to the damper (11) for controlling the opening or closing degree of the damper (11), wherein the rear fixing plate (32) of the dial assembly (30) has a mounting space which is provided with hook protrusions (35) and a fixing protrusion (36); and an elastic member (40) assembled into the mounting space such that both end portions are held by the hook protrusions (35) and a rear portion is fitted with the fixing protrusion (36) so as to be fixed, and having an elastic portion (41) formed at a front portion and provided with a contact protrusion (42) which comes into contact with the holding protrusion (22) of the dial housing (20), wherein the click feeling of the air vent dial is improved with cost reduction and quality enhancement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an exhaust port dial for a vehicle, which is used for improving the dial feeling of the exhaust port dial while achieving cost reduction and quality improvement. Background technique [0002] Generally, a vehicle air outlet is an air discharge device of an air conditioning system for properly maintaining a temperature inside a vehicle, and is configured to control a damper installed inside the air outlet, thereby controlling the discharge of air. [0003] The baffle in the exhaust port is rotatably provided with a dial for controlling the air flow, and a mechanism is provided to the rotating structure of the exhaust port dial, so that the operator can feel the dial's dial feeling. [0004] That is, if the baffle control unit is provided to the exhaust port so as to selectively open or close the baffle and control the flow of air introduced into the inside, the baffle control unit includes a dial assembly and a plurality of link...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, a problem with this technique is that the elastic member 40' has a hole at one end and a pin-engaging hole at the other end for assembling the elastic member 40' into the dial assembly with the hole at one end on one side. The opening and the pin engaging hole must be formed as elongated holes, so that the pin of the dial assembly may be disengaged from the opening hole at one end of the elastic member 40' due to vibration or vibration, thereby causing malfunction.

Therefore, the dial assembly requires a space for the rotation of the elastic member, so that the parts become enlarged and the assembly operation becomes complicated
