DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. The specific structures and functional details disclosed herein are only used to describe the exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be embodied in many alternative forms, and it should not be understood that the present invention is limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 A front view of the air outlet structure is provided for the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 An internal schematic diagram of an air outlet structure is provided for an embodiment of the present application.

[0040] On the one hand, the present application provides an air outlet structure, which includes a housing 100, a first air guide portion 401, a second air guide portion 402, and a third air guide portion 403, wherein:

[0041] The shell 100 is provided with a first channel 101 for guiding air, and the two ends of the first channel 101 are respectively provided with a first air inlet 201 and a first air outlet 202, and the first channel 101 includes a first flow channel 301 and a second flow channel 302 arranged up and down. The delivered airflow enters the first channel 101 from the first air inlet 201, and is blown out from the first air outlet 202 under the guidance of the first channel 101. The first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 arranged up and down are arranged in the first channel 101, so that the airflow can pass through the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 at the same time, or the airflow can selectively pass through the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302, so as to provide different channels to guide the airflow flow, so as to constrain the airflow to flow in different paths under different usage conditions.

[0042] The first air guide portion 401 is movably disposed in the first channel 101, and the first air guide portion 401 can swing up and down in the first channel 101. When the first air guide portion 401 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the first air guide portion 401 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302. The first air guide portion 401 is movably connected to the shell body 100. The first air guide portion 401 swings up and down in the first channel 101, which can constrain the ratio of the airflow in the first channel 101 passing through the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302. When the first air guide portion 401 swings toward one side of the first flow channel 301, the airflow passing through the first flow channel 301 is smaller than that passing through the second flow channel 302. The air flow rate passing through the first flow channel 302 is accompanied by the continued movement of the first air guide portion 401 until one end of the first air guide portion 401 contacts the top of the first channel 101, at which time the first air guide portion 401 closes the first flow channel 301, and the air flow in the first channel 101 all flows to the second flow channel 302; when the first air guide portion 401 swings toward one side of the second flow channel 302, the air flow rate passing through the first flow channel 301 is greater than the air flow rate passing through the second flow channel 302, and the first air guide portion 401 continues to move until one end of the first air guide portion 401 contacts the bottom of the first channel 101, at which time the first air guide portion 401 closes the second flow channel 302, and the air flow in the first channel 101 all flows to the first flow channel 301.

[0043] The second air guide portion 402 is movably arranged in the first channel 101, and the second air guide portion 402 can swing up and down in the first channel 101 to guide the airflow to blow out the first air outlet 202 at different angles in the first direction, and when the second air guide portion 402 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the second air guide portion 402 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302, and the second air guide portion 402 is movably connected to the shell member 100. The second air guide portion 402 swings up and down in the first channel 101, which can constrain the ratio of the airflow in the first channel 101 passing through the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302. When the second air guide portion 402 swings toward one side of the first flow channel 301, the airflow passing through the first flow channel 301 is reduced. The airflow rate of the flow channel 301 is smaller than the airflow rate passing through the second flow channel 302. As the second air guide portion 402 continues to move until one end of the second air guide portion 402 contacts the top of the first channel 101, the second air guide portion 402 closes the first flow channel 301, and the airflow in the first channel 101 all flows out through the second flow channel 302. When the second air guide portion 402 swings toward one side of the second flow channel 302, the airflow rate passing through the first flow channel 301 is greater than the airflow rate passing through the second flow channel 302. As the second air guide portion 402 continues to move until one end of the second air guide portion 402 contacts the bottom of the first channel 101, the second air guide portion 402 closes the second flow channel 302, and the airflow in the first channel 101 all flows out through the first flow channel 301.

[0044] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 in the first state is provided for the embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 The embodiment of the present application provides a cross-sectional view of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 in the first state, wherein Figure 7 for Figure 1 Sectional view in the AA direction;

[0045] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, Figure 8 A structural schematic diagram of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 in the second state is provided for the embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 The embodiment of the present application provides a cross-sectional view of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 when they are in the second state, wherein Fig. 9 for Figure 1 Sectional view in the AA direction;

Fig.11 The embodiment of the present application provides a cross-sectional view of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 in the third state, wherein Fig.11 for Figure 1 Sectional view in the AA direction;

[0047] When the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 rotate to different states, the first channel 101 running through the shell 100 can guide air in different directions and states to meet the blowing needs of different positions, and the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 can also cyclically switch between the first state, the second state and the third state, thereby achieving a wind sweeping effect in the first direction.

[0048] The third air guide portion 403 is movably arranged in the shell part 100, and the third air guide portion 403 can swing left and right in the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 respectively, so as to guide the airflow to blow out of the first air outlet 202 at different angles in the second direction. The third air guide portion 403 is movably connected to the shell part 100, and the first air guide portion 401 cooperates with the second air guide portion 402 to affect the airflow to blow out at different angles in the first direction. The third air guide portion 403 is respectively arranged to swing in the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, and guides the airflow to flow at different angles in the second direction, and then cooperates with the guidance of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 in the first direction, and can adjust the airflow to blow to the target area in combination to achieve a rich and accurate air guiding effect.

[0049] like Fig.12 , Fig.13 as well as Fig.14 As shown, Fig.12 A cross-sectional view of the third air guide portion 403 in the first state is provided for the embodiment of the present application. Fig.13 A cross-sectional view of the third air guide portion 403 in the second state is provided for the embodiment of the present application. Fig.14 A cross-sectional view of the third air guide portion 403 in the third state is provided for the embodiment of the present application, wherein Fig.12 , Fig.13 as well as Fig.14 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view along the BB direction.

[0050] When the third air guide portion 403 rotates to different states, the first channel 101 running through the shell 100 can guide air in different directions and states to meet the blowing needs of different positions, and the third air guide portion 403 can also cyclically switch between the first state, the second state and the third state, thereby achieving a wind sweeping effect in the second direction. Furthermore, the third air guide portion 403 can cooperate with the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 to achieve a dynamic air guiding effect.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the working principle of the air outlet structure in the present application is: the air outlet structure includes a shell 100, a first air guide portion 401, a second air guide portion 402 and a third air guide portion 403, a first channel 101 for guiding air is provided through the shell 100, two ends of the first channel 101 respectively have a first air inlet 201 and a first air outlet 202, and the first channel 101 includes a first flow channel 301 and a second flow channel 302 arranged up and down, the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 are respectively movably arranged in the first channel 101, and the first air guide portion 401 can be in the first channel 101. The first air guide portion 401 swings up and down in the first channel 101, and when the first air guide portion 401 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the first air guide portion 401 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302. The second air guide portion 402 can swing up and down in the first channel 101 to guide the air flow to blow out the first air outlet 202 at different angles in the first direction, and when the second air guide portion 402 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the second air guide portion 402 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302. The third air guide portion 403 is movably arranged in the housing 100, and the third air guide portion 403 can be divided into The first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 are respectively swung left and right in the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 to guide the airflow to blow out the first air outlet 202 at different angles in the second direction. By setting multiple air guides in the shell 100, the air guide requirements in different directions are met under the premise of a single shell 100, and the relative swing between multiple shells is omitted. The first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 work together to achieve reliable wind blocking and wind guiding effects, and the third air guide 403 can be used to blow the airflow in different directions, which not only meets the purpose of wind guiding, but also greatly reduces the air outlet structure in the vertical direction of the vehicle. The size of the air outlet can be reduced, thereby achieving a variety of design states in the direction of narrow air outlets and linear air outlets, reducing the size limit of the overall structure in the vertical space, reducing the space occupied by the air outlet structure while satisfying the wind guiding state, and arranging the air outlet structure in the vehicle. It can be arranged in an area with smaller space, avoiding the original air outlet structure relying on the instrument panel structure for setting, improving the layout flexibility of the air-conditioning system, and maintaining the experience of the driver and passengers under the premise of more choices for the air outlet structure layout. The number of overall assembly parts is reduced, which reduces the difficulty of operation and improves production efficiency for production assembly.

[0052] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of some components at the third air guide portion 403 is provided for an embodiment of the present application. In an optional embodiment, the air outlet mechanism also includes a driving member 600, and the driving member 600 is respectively connected to the first air guide portion 401, the second air guide portion 402 and the third air guide portion 403, so as to drive the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 to rotate around an axis extending in the width direction of the shell member 100, so that the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 swing in a first direction to guide the air, and drive the third air guide portion 403 to rotate around an axis extending in the thickness direction of the shell member 100, so that the third air guide portion 403 swings in a second direction to sweep the air.

The positioning pin 602 is also respectively inserted into the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402. On the wind part 402, when the first gear 701 at the output end of the first drive motor 601 drives the first air guide part 401 and the second air guide part 402 to rotate, the first air guide part 401 and the second air guide part 402 are also driven to rotate by the positioning pin 602 respectively, thereby avoiding relative deflection between the first air guide part 401 and the second air guide part 402 and the first gear 701 at the output end of the first drive motor 601, thereby improving reliability, improving the output reliability of the first drive motor 601, and maintaining the stability of the synchronous rotation of the first air guide part 401 and the second air guide part 402.

[0057] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, further, the first gear 701 between the first air guide part 401 and the first drive motor 601 is arranged to be movable in the axial direction, and the first gear 701 has a connection state connected between the first drive motor 601 and the first air guide part 401, and a disconnection state separated from the first air guide part 401, so that when the first gear 701 is in the connection state, the two first gears 701 are meshed with each other, and the first drive motor 601 drives the first air guide part 401 and the second air guide part 402 to swing at the same time, when the first air guide part 401 is in a stationary state and the first gear 701 is in a disconnection state, when the first drive motor 601 drives the second air guide part 402 to swing, the first air guide part 401 is in a stationary state.

[0058] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, when the output end of the first drive motor 601 is connected to the third air guide part 403 through the second gear 702, in order to maintain the convenience of arranging the first drive motor 601 and the third air guide part 403, the second gear 702 can be set as a bevel gear, and the number of second gears 702 can be increased to flexibly arrange the first drive motor 601 and the third air guide part 403. The second gear 702 has a helical tooth segment 703 and a straight tooth segment 704. The helical tooth segment 703 facilitates the meshing and transmission of power between the second gears 702 in different directions, and the straight tooth segment 704 facilitates the meshing and transmission of power between the adjacent second gears 702.

[0059] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a partition plate 303 is provided between the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, and the ends of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 close to each other can be rotatably connected to the partition plate 303, and the other end can swing up and down in the first channel 101.

[0060] A fixedly connected partition plate 303 is provided in the main body to separate the first channel 101 and form a first flow channel 301 and a second flow channel 302. The first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 are respectively provided at both ends of the partition plate 303. Under the action of the partition plate 303, an installation and positioning basis for the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 is formed, and the ends of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 away from the partition plate 303 rotate relative to the partition plate 303, forming a swinging operation in the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302.

[0061] The thickness of the middle part of the partition plate 303 is greater than the thickness of the side connected to the first air guide part 401 and the second air guide part 402 respectively, so that the top surface and the bottom surface of the partition plate 303 form a slope state to improve the smoothness of the airflow, and the middle part of the partition plate 303 is set to be hollow to improve the overall lightweight.

[0062] It should be noted that the thickness of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 on the side close to the partition plate 303 is greater than the thickness on the side away from the partition plate 303, so that the side of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 connected to the partition plate 303 has a smoother connection with the partition plate 303, reducing wind resistance and lowering pressure drop, and the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 are respectively provided with a soft rubber portion 503 at one end away from the partition plate 303 to improve the sealing of the first air guide portion 401 and the second air guide portion 402 when they are in the extreme position.

[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment, the third air guide portion 403 includes a plurality of air guide blades 501 arranged in parallel, and the plurality of air guide blades 501 are respectively arranged on the upper part and the lower part of the partition plate 303 .

[0064] Multiple air guides 501 are arranged in the width direction of the shell 100. While reducing the size of each air guide 501, it can also form a uniform guidance for the airflow in the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, reduce the overall size of the third air guide part 403, and improve the arrangement effect.

[0065] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the third air guide portion 403 further includes a linkage portion 502, and the linkage portion 502 is respectively connected to each of the air guide pieces 501 to enable the air guide members to swing synchronously.

[0066] In order to further reduce the difficulty of controlling the multiple air guide vanes 501, improve the uniform angle of air guide of the multiple air guide vanes 501, and reduce the turbulence in the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, each air guide vane 501 is connected by a linkage part 502. Driven by the linkage part 502, the multiple air guide vanes 501 swing synchronously with the same amplitude, thereby improving operation reliability.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, an area of ​​the first air inlet 201 is greater than an area of ​​the first air outlet 202 .

[0068] When the flow rate of the airflow entering the shell part 100 remains unchanged, when the area of ​​the first air inlet 201 is larger than the area of ​​the first air outlet 202, the air intake resistance when the airflow enters the shell part 100 is reduced. The larger first air inlet 201 means that the local resistance during air intake is smaller, and air can be introduced more smoothly, thereby reducing the energy consumption increased due to limited air intake. Moreover, the larger first air inlet 201 allows more air to be inhaled per unit time, which is particularly important for application scenarios that require large flow rates of air, and helps to improve the overall processing capacity of the equipment to obtain a better driving experience. In addition, if the air supply blower or fan has sufficient power to maintain a fixed flow rate, the larger first air inlet 201 can ensure a stable inflow of sufficient air without changing the pressure of the first air outlet 202, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the system's working performance and improving the comfort of the driver and passengers in the vehicle.

[0069] In addition, the first air inlet 201 has a larger area. When the operating environment changes significantly or the air duct may be blocked, the larger first air inlet 201 can provide a certain redundancy, so that even if the first air inlet 201 is blocked to a certain extent, it can maintain a relatively stable flow output, thereby improving reliability. Moreover, the first air inlet 201 with a relatively larger area can reduce noise to a certain extent, because reducing the intake speed can avoid excessive turbulence and vortex noise.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, an upper plate 203 and a lower plate 204 arranged obliquely are provided at the first air outlet 202, and when the second air guide portion 402 contacts one of the upper plate 203 and the lower plate 204, the second air guide portion 402 is arranged parallel to the other.

[0071] The upper plate 203 and the lower plate 204 at the first air outlet 202 form guiding surfaces on the upper and lower sides of the first air outlet respectively. Under the guidance of the upper plate 203 and the lower plate 204, the airflow can flow out more smoothly in a constrained direction. When the second air guide portion 402 contacts the upper plate 203, the airflow flows out from the second flow channel 302 and flows out under the guidance and constraint of the second air guide portion 402 and the lower plate 204 which are parallel to each other. When the second air guide portion 402 contacts the lower plate 204, the airflow flows out from the first flow channel 301 and flows out under the guidance and constraint of the second air guide portion 402 and the upper plate 203 which are parallel to each other, so as to ensure the stability of the airflow when it flows out in different directions and meet the blowing needs of the driver and passengers within a certain range.
