DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 8 In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a two-way adjustable automobile air conditioner air outlet dial button mechanism, including an air outlet body 1 and a motor box 2, wherein the air outlet body 1 is equipped with blades 3, a dial button 4 and a driving component, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 One end of the blade 3 is connected to the driving assembly, and the other end is connected to the dial button 4. The motor box 2 is installed with a motor 5 and a driving rod 6. The motor 5 is connected to the driving rod 6, and the other end of the driving rod 6 is connected to the driving assembly; when working, the motor 5 drives the driving rod 6 to move horizontally, and the driving rod 6 drives the blade 3 to rotate through the driving assembly.

[0023] See also Figures 4 to 6The driving assembly includes a rack 7, a transmission gear 8, a driven wheel 9 and a spring 10, wherein the rack 7 is meshed with the transmission gear 8, and the transmission gear 8 and the spring 10 are sequentially mounted on the driven wheel 9. A spherical connecting portion 13 is provided on one side of the rack 7, and the connecting portion 13 is connected to the driving rod 6; a base 11 is fixed on the air outlet body 1, and a slide groove 12 is provided on the base 11. The rack 7 is slidably installed on the slide groove 12. When the driving rod 6 moves laterally, the rack 7 can be driven to slide along the slide groove 12 through the connecting portion 13. Since the rack 7 is meshed with the transmission gear 8, the transmission gear 8 rotates under the drive of the rack 7. In this embodiment, an upper cover plate 14 is also provided on the base 11, and the two ends of the spring 10 are respectively against the upper cover plate 14 and the transmission gear 8; a first concave-convex surface 15 is provided on the transmission gear 8, and a second concave-convex surface 16 matching the first concave-convex surface 15 is provided on the driven wheel 9. When the transmission gear 8 rotates, it will be driven by the first concave-convex surface 15 The driven wheel 9 rotates, and a socket 17 and a positioning groove 18 are provided at the bottom of the driven wheel 9. A connecting shaft 19 is provided on the blade 3, and the connecting shaft 19 is sleeved in the socket 17. A positioning block 20 is also provided on the connecting shaft 19, and the positioning block 20 is placed in the positioning groove 18. Therefore, after the driven wheel 9 rotates, the connecting shaft 19 will be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the electric adjustment of the angle of the blade 3. In this embodiment, the blade 3 can also be adjusted by turning the dial button 4, because the dial button 4 is installed on the blade 3 through a claw. After the dial button is turned, the connecting shaft 19 will be subjected to force. At this time, the second concave-convex surface 16 will rotate and push the first concave-convex surface 15, so that the spring 10 is compressed, and the transmission gear 8 will be separated from the driven wheel 9. The driven wheel 9 can rotate freely after being separated from the restriction of the motor 5, thereby realizing manual adjustment of the blade 3, and the spring 10 always presses down the transmission gear 8 during the adjustment process, and the first concave-convex surface 15 and the second concave-convex surface 16 always provide resistance, so that the dial button 4 maintains a damping sense when it is turned.
