In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms: install, connect, connect, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to specific circumstances.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A manual hidden air outlet involved in the present invention comprises: an outer shell 1, which has an air outlet and an air inlet, a panel 2 is further provided on the side of the outer shell 1 facing the air outlet, so that the appearance is beautiful, and a sealing strip 6 is provided on the side of the outer shell 1 facing the air inlet; a diverter 3 is arranged in the outer shell 1, and divides the air duct space in the outer shell 1 into an upper air outlet channel 11 and a lower air outlet channel 12; an adjusting drum 7 is arranged in the outer shell 1 and located at the rear end of the diverter 3, and an adjusting baffle 72 is provided on the adjusting drum 7, and when the adjusting drum 7 rotates, the adjusting baffle 72 can selectively block the upper air outlet channel 11 and / or the lower air outlet channel 12; a blade 5 is arranged in the adjusting drum 7, and the wind direction can be adjusted when it rotates; a dial knob 4 is arranged on the side of the diverter 3 facing the air outlet, and when the dial knob 4 rotates, the adjusting drum 7 is driven to rotate through the connecting rod assembly; when the dial knob 4 moves horizontally, the blade 5 is driven to rotate through the dial assembly, and the dial assembly is placed in the diverter 3.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present application, the interior of the outer shell 1 has a first inner cavity and a second inner cavity, the diverter 3 is placed in the first inner cavity, the adjustment drum 7 is placed in the second inner cavity, and the second inner cavity has a columnar inner cavity with basically the same outer contour as the adjustment drum 7. This structure allows basically all wind to pass through the adjustment drum 7, and has high controllability.

[0026] From the attached Figure 3 It can be seen that the connecting rod assembly includes a linkage rod 43 that rotates synchronously with the dial knob 4, and the end of the linkage rod 43 is connected to a first linkage rod 44, the first linkage rod 44 pulls one end of a second linkage rod 45, and the other end of the second linkage rod 45 is fixed to the rotating shaft 71 of the adjustment drum 7. In this structure, when the dial knob 4 rotates, the linkage rod 43 is driven to rotate, and the adjustment drum 7 is driven to rotate through the first linkage rod 44 and the second linkage rod 45, so that the adjustment baffle 72 can selectively block the upper air outlet channel 11 and / or the lower air outlet channel 12 to adjust the upper and lower air outlet air volumes.

[0027] In addition, from the attached Figure 3 It can also be seen that the toggle assembly includes a toggle plate 41, one side of which is hingedly connected to a toggle member 52. When the toggle member 52 moves, it drives the blade shaft to rotate, and several blades 5 are linked. This structure can easily realize the steering of the blades 5 and the adjustment of the left and right wind directions.

[0028] In the present application, the dial knob 4 is arranged on a dial knob seat 42, and the dial knob seat 42 is movably mounted on a linkage rod 43 to realize the left and right movement of the dial knob 4; and the dial knob seat 42 and the linkage rod 43 are circumferentially positioned, such as by key connection, so when the dial knob 4 rotates, the linkage rod 43 can be driven to rotate together.

[0029] In the present application, the regulating drum 7 is provided with two regulating baffles 72, and a plurality of blades 5 are rotatably arranged between the two regulating baffles 72, so that the structure is assembled stably. Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the dotted line in the figure is a position diagram of the adjustment baffle 72 and the blade shaft after the adjustment drum 7 rotates a certain angle. It can be seen that during the rotation of the adjustment drum 7, the adjustment baffle 72 thereon can selectively block the upper air outlet channel 11 or the lower air outlet channel 12. For example, after rotation, one of the adjustment baffles 72 blocks the upper air outlet channel 11, and the lower air outlet channel 12 is fully opened. At this time, the airflow enters from the air inlet 15, passes through the adjustment drum 7, and is then blown out from the lower air outlet channel 12.

[0030] The manual hidden air outlet in the present application is used for the air outlet of the automobile air conditioner. In the structure of the present application, by rotating the dial knob 4, the adjustment roller 7 can be driven to rotate to adjust the air flow in the upper air outlet channel 11 and the lower air outlet channel 12. The airflows blown out of the upper and lower air outlet channels blow downward and upward respectively. Therefore, by adjusting the flow ratio in the upper and lower air outlet channels, the upper and lower blowing wind directions can be adjusted. At the same time, in the present application, when the dial knob 4 is moved horizontally, the blade 5 can be driven to turn to adjust the left and right wind directions. At the same time, the blade structure in the present application is built-in and hidden, with a beautiful appearance. The toggle component is placed in the diverter 3, with a compact structure and convenient transmission.

[0031] As can be seen from the above, the present invention provides a manual hidden air outlet with a simple structure, convenient operation and compact transmission structure. The wind direction can be easily adjusted up and down and left and right by rotating and moving the knob horizontally. At the same time, the blade structure is hidden in the housing and has a beautiful appearance.

[0032] The protection scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the above embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the claims. Any replacement, deformation, and improvement of the technology that can be easily thought of by technicians in this field shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
