DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is only illustrative and not restrictive. The various embodiments can be combined with each other to form other embodiments not shown in the following description.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, a new type of air separation mechanism 100 is provided. The air separation mechanism 100 is used to be connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner installed inside the car. In addition to being able to separate the air flow, the air separation mechanism 100 can also simplify the exposed structure of the air separation mechanism 100, thereby providing a better user visual experience.

[0025] The air distribution mechanism 100 includes a housing 10 and a guide member 20 , and a rear end 11 of the guide member 20 .

[0026] Among them, the rear end 11 of the shell 10 is formed with an air inlet 12, which is used to be connected with the air outlet of the air conditioner so that the air flow delivered through the air outlet of the air conditioner enters the shell 10 through the air inlet 12; the front end 13 of the shell 10 is formed with an air supply port 14, which is used to deliver the air flow flowing through the inside of the shell 10; at least two air flow channels 15 are formed inside the shell 10, and the air inlet 12 can be connected with the air supply port 14 through at least one air flow channel 15.

[0027] The airflow channel 15 at least includes: a first air duct 151 and a second air duct 152. It is understandable that the airflow can flow through the air inlet 12 at the rear end 11 of the housing 10, and then the airflow can flow through the first air duct 151 or the second air duct 152 alone and be sent out to the outside of the housing 10 through the air outlet 14; at the same time, in addition to flowing through the first air duct 151 or the second air duct 152 alone, the airflow can also flow through the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 152 at the same time, and be sent out to the outside of the housing 10 after converging at the air outlet 14.

[0028] The guide member 20 is installed at the rear end 11 of the housing 10 and is located in the air inlet 12. The guide member 20 can rotate to connect the air inlet 12 with at least one air flow channel 15. It is understandable that when the guide member 20 rotates, the air inlet 12 can be connected only with the first air duct 151 or the second air duct 152, or the air inlet 12 can be connected with both the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 152.

[0029] A partition 17 is installed inside the housing 10, and the partition 17 is used to divide the internal space of the housing 10 into at least a first air duct 151 and a second air duct 152. In addition, the partition 17 is a hexagonal column, and the connection between each side of the partition 17 is set in an arc surface, and the partition 17 is fixedly installed inside the housing 10 along the length direction, so that the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 14 are both located at the position where the adjacent two side surfaces of the partition 17 are connected.

[0030] It is understandable that the interior of the separator 17 is hollow to reduce the weight of the separator 17. In addition, the shape of the separator 17 involved in this embodiment is not limited to a hexagonal column, and those skilled in the art can also design the separator 17 into other types of shapes, such as an octagon.

[0031] Please also read Figure 4 and Figure 5 The guide member 20 includes a plurality of grille blades 21, each of which is installed at the air inlet 12 along the length direction, and each of the grille blades 21 is spaced apart from each other, and each of the grille blades 21 can rotate in the same direction.

[0032] It can be understood that, during the process of the grille blades 21 rotating in the same direction, the air inlet 12 can be connected only to the first air duct 151 or the second air duct 152, so that the airflow only flows through the first air duct 151 or the second air duct 152 to the air supply port 14; or, the air inlet 12 can be connected to the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 152 at the same time, so that the airflow flows separately and flows through the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 152 respectively, and the separated airflows converge at the air supply port 14 and are sent horizontally to the outside of the shell 10.

[0033] The housing 10 has two opposite side surfaces of the rear end 11 formed with rotation holes 16; the grille blades 21 have two ends along the length direction formed with second convex portions 213, which are adapted to the shape of the rotation holes 16, and can be inserted into the rotation holes 16 and can rotate relative to the rotation holes 16. In addition, the number of the rotation holes 16 and the number of the second convex portions 213 are the same, and each second convex portion 213 is inserted into each rotation hole 16 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0034] It can be understood that in addition to providing the second protrusions 213 at the two ends along the length direction of the above-mentioned grille blade 21, a rotating shaft can also be embedded in the grille blade 21. The rotating shaft is embedded in the grille blade 21 along the length direction, and both ends of the rotating shaft extend out of the grille blade 21, that is, the two ends of the rotating shaft are passed through the rotating hole 16 as the second protrusions 213.

[0035] The guide member 20 further includes a connecting rod 22 , which is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the grille blades 21 . The grille blades 21 are connected into an integrated structure through the connecting rod 22 , so that the grille blades 21 rotate in the same direction under the cooperation of the connecting rod 22 .

[0036] Among them, a first convex portion 211 is formed at one end portion of each grille blade 21 along the length direction, that is, the first convex portion 211 is located on the side of the grille blade 21 facing the connecting rod 22; a through hole 221 is opened on the connecting rod 22, and the number of the through holes 221 is the same as the number of the first convex portions 211. Each first convex portion 211 is correspondingly penetrated in each through hole 221, and the first convex portion 211 can rotate relative to the through hole 221.

[0037] A notch 212 is formed at one end of the grille blade 21 facing the connecting rod 22, a first convex portion 211 is formed at the notch 212 and faces the connecting rod 22, and the first convex portion 211 is located at the surface of the notch 212 facing the connecting rod 22. At the same time, the first convex portion 211 does not contact the inner side surface of the housing 10, so as to avoid the grille blade 21 from rubbing against the inner side surface of the housing 10 during the axial rotation along the length direction, thereby avoiding the grille blade 21 and the housing 10 from being worn.

[0038] The working process of the air distribution mechanism 100 provided in the above embodiment can be described in detail as follows:

[0039] 1. When all grille blades 21 are in a horizontal state, Figure 6 As shown, the air inlet 12 is connected to the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 152 at the same time, that is, the grille blades 21 separate the air inlet 12 into two upper and lower air inlet channels, the lower air inlet channel is connected to the first air duct 151, and the upper air inlet channel is connected to the second air duct 152. After the airflow passes through the air inlet 12 at the rear end 11 of the housing 10, it is split and flows through the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 152 respectively; the airflow flowing through the first air duct 151 and the airflow flowing through the second air duct 152 merge into one airflow at the air outlet 14 and are sent out to the outside of the housing 10 in the horizontal direction.

[0040] 2. When each grille blade 21 rotates clockwise to Figure 7In the position shown, the air inlet 12 is only connected to the first air duct 151. The air flows into the first air duct 151 through the air inlet 12, then flows to the air outlet 14 and is sent out obliquely upward to the outside of the housing 10.

[0041] 3. When each grille blade 21 rotates counterclockwise to Figure 8 In the position shown, the air inlet 12 is only connected to the second air duct 152. The air flows into the second air duct 152 through the air inlet 12, then flows to the air outlet 14 and is sent out obliquely downward to the outside of the housing 10.

[0042] Correspondingly, based on the air separation mechanism 100 provided in the above embodiment, the present embodiment also provides an automobile air-conditioning system, which is equipped with the air separation mechanism 100, which can effectively realize the air flow separation operation while also facilitating the user to design the interior of the automobile compartment to increase the user's comfort.

[0043] The air distribution mechanism 100 and the automobile air-conditioning system having the air distribution mechanism 100 provided in the above-mentioned embodiment are achieved by installing a guide member 20 at the air inlet 12 formed at the rear end 11 of the shell 10, so as to hide the guide member 20. This can avoid the problem of reducing the user's visual experience due to the exposed structure of the guide member 20, and also facilitate the user to beautify the interior of the car according to personal needs, thereby having a better user experience.

[0044] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
