[0002] The air outlet assembly of a normal automobile air conditioner is adjusted by multiple outer blades, and the number of the blades is generally three or more. With the development of vehicle technology, the evolution and change of the internal space structure of the vehicle, the space left for the air outlet assembly is getting smaller and smaller, and thus a narrow air outlet is evolved. The narrow air outlet is characterized in that the outer air outlet of the air outlet assembly is narrower than the outer air outlet of the existing multi-outer-blade air outlet assembly. Since the wind guiding effect of a single blade structure is poor, the internal space still has two upper and lower blades to adjust the wind direction. However, the outer panel of the air outlet assembly actually hides the upper and lower blades, that is, the upper and lower hidden blades do not expose during the movement, so that only one outer blade can be seen from the outside, forming a unique appearance of the narrow air outlet.
[0003] In summary, the existing air conditioner air outlet structure with outer blade wind guiding has the defects of not compact enough and not suitable for narrow air outlets, and has certain improvement space. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application and further describes the technical solutions of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 shown, a narrow air outlet assembly includes an outer blade air guiding mechanism, which includes: a first blade 100, a second blade 200, an active blade 300, and a wheel disc type connecting rod 400. The first blade 100 and the second blade 200 are driven blades, and the first blade 100 and the second blade 200 are located above and below the active blade 300, respectively, i.e., the air guiding structure can be selected to guide air upward and downward.
[0042] The first blade 100 or the second blade 200 forms an opening for air outlet between itself and the active blade 300. That is, the opening formed between the first blade 100 and the active blade 300 and the opening formed between the second blade 200 and the active blade 300, so the air guide mechanism structure has at least two openings for blowing air outward.
[0043] It should be noted here that, in this embodiment, the opening refers to the minimum ventilation cross-section formed between two components that allows air to pass through.
[0044] like Figures 1-12 As shown, in the specific structure, the first blade 100 is provided with a first rotating shaft 110, and the first blade 100 is configured to rotate around the first rotating shaft 110; the second blade 200 is provided with a second rotating shaft 210, and the second blade 200 is configured to rotate around the second rotating shaft 210; the active blade 300 is provided with a third rotating shaft 310, and the active blade 300 is configured to rotate around the third rotating shaft 310. The active blade 300 is linked to the first blade 100 and the second blade 200 through the wheel-type connecting rod 400. Therefore, the first blade 100, the second blade 200, and the active blade 300 can all rotate. When the active blade 300 rotates, it can drive the first blade 100 and / or the second blade 200 to move through the wheel-type connecting rod 400, thereby adjusting the airflow direction.
[0045] The disc-type connecting rod 400 is configured to cause either the first blade 100 or the second blade 200 to rotate with the rotation of the active blade 300. Specifically, when the active blade 300 rotates from a horizontal position to tilt upwards, the disc-type connecting rod 400 drives the first blade 100 to rotate in the opposite direction to the active blade 300, and the second blade 200 is in an upward tilted state or a horizontal state. At this time, the wind blows upwards along the upward-tilted active blade 300. When the active blade 300 rotates from a horizontal position to tilt downwards, the disc-type connecting rod 400 drives the second blade 200 to rotate in the opposite direction to the active blade 300, and the wind blows downwards along the downward-tilted active blade 300. At this time, the first blade 100 is in a downward-tilted state or a horizontal state.
[0046] like Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, when the active blade 300 rotates upward, the first blade 100 rotates downward, and the second blade 200 slightly inclines upward, at this time, the first blade 100 above the active blade 300 inclines downward, and the two gradually close, so that the opening between the active blade 300 and the first blade 100 becomes smaller, the second blade 200 first rotates upward, preferably, it can slightly rotate downward when it rotates to the limit, so the opening between the second blade 200 and the active blade 300 becomes larger; since the second blade 200 inclines toward the active blade 300, the opening formed between the second blade 200 and the active blade 300 also inclines upward, thereby achieving the effect of guiding the wind upward.
[0047] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 8-12 As shown in the figure, when the active blade 300 rotates downward, the second blade 200 rotates upward, the first blade 100 slightly rotates downward, preferably, it can slightly rotate upward when the first blade 100 rotates to the limit, in short, in this process, the opening between the active blade 300 and the first blade 100 becomes larger, the second blade 200 inclines upward, and the two gradually close, so that the opening between the active blade 300 and the second blade 200 becomes smaller, since the first blade 100 inclines downward, the opening formed between the first blade 100 and the active blade 300 also inclines downward, thereby achieving the effect of guiding the wind downward.
[0048] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the first blade 100 is further provided with a first linkage shaft 120, the second blade 200 is further provided with a second linkage shaft 220, the active blade 300 is further provided with a third linkage shaft 320, the wheel disc type linkage 400 is provided with a linkage hole 410, a first movement groove 420 and a second movement groove 430, the first linkage shaft 120 is connected with the first movement groove 420, the second linkage shaft 220 is connected with the second movement groove 430, and the third linkage shaft 320 is connected with the linkage hole 410.
[0049] Since the first blade 100, the second blade 200 and the active blade 300 all rotate around one end close to the air inlet 510 (hereinafter referred to as the inner side end), when the active blade 300 rotates toward the first blade 100, the first blade 100 rotates in the opposite direction, and the opening between the two becomes smaller, and for the same reason, when the active blade 300 rotates toward the second blade 100, the ventilation cross section between the two becomes smaller.
[0050] Based on the above embodiments, the first motion groove 420 and the second motion groove 430 are configured as arc-shaped holes or triangular holes with inner arc edges. The trajectories of the first motion groove 420 and the second motion groove 430 are designed to rotate the first blade 100 and the second blade 200 to the corresponding positions according to the rotation direction and angle of the active blade 300.
[0051] Taking the first motion groove 420 and the second motion groove 430 as an example of an inner arc-shaped triangular hole, the three sides of the triangular hole are inwardly curved arcs, which can drive the first blade 100 and the second blade 200 to move.
[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in the actual structure, the outer blade air guide structure of the narrow air outlet also includes a housing 500. The first blade 100, the second blade 200, the active blade 300, and the disc-type connecting rod 400 are all disposed in the housing 500. The first blade 100 is rotatably connected to the housing 500 through the first rotating shaft 110, the second blade 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 500 through the second rotating shaft 210, and the active blade 300 is rotatably connected to the housing 500 through the third rotating shaft 310.
[0053] The housing 500 has an air inlet 510 and an air outlet 520. The first rotating shaft 110 is located at the end of the first blade 100 near the air inlet 510, and the second rotating shaft 210 is located at the end of the second blade 200 near the air inlet 510.
[0054] In the actual structure, both the first rotating shaft 110 and the second rotating shaft 210 are close to the air inlet 510, so the first blade 100 and the second blade 200 can rotate around the position close to the air inlet 510. This reasonably optimizes the position layout of the first blade 100 and the second blade 200, avoids the blades being exposed during movement, and the first blade 100 and the second blade 200 have less space requirements, saving the space required inside the housing 500.
[0055] Based on the above embodiments, a faceplate panel 600 is also included. The faceplate panel 600 is connected to the housing 500 and covers the air outlet 520. The active blade 300 extends out of the faceplate panel 600. The faceplate panel 600 has an opening, and the air outlet 520 corresponds to the opening. Due to the optimized spatial arrangement of the first blade 100 and the second blade 200, the first blade 100 and the second blade 200 can be hidden behind the faceplate panel 600, which improves the appearance of the air outlet 520.
[0056] The face frame panel 600 is provided with a panel opening 610, and the active vane 300 extends out of the panel opening 610. When the active vane 300 is tilted upward to the maximum stroke, the gap between the active vane 300 and the panel opening 610 is greater than zero. When the active vane 300 is tilted downward to the maximum stroke, the gap between the active vane 300 and the lower end of the panel opening 610 is greater than zero. Through this structure, airflow can be prevented from being blocked in the shell.
[0057] The ratio between the gap between the active vane 300 and the first vane 100 and the gap between the active vane 300 and the upper end of the panel opening 610 when the active vane 300 is tilted upward is 0.8-1.2, and the ratio between the gap between the active vane 300 and the second vane 200 and the gap between the active vane 300 and the lower end of the panel opening 610 when the active vane 300 is tilted downward is 0.8-1.2. In this way, the sizes of the two gaps are the same or similar, which is beneficial to the smooth flow of airflow and keeps the airflow along the tilting direction of the active vane 300, avoiding airflow from being blocked in the shell.
[0058] The existing outer panel of such a narrow air outlet only slightly exceeds the thickness of the upper and lower vanes in the size of the shielding of the upper and lower vanes, so the rotating structure of the upper and lower vanes in the existing structure can normally blow air. However, some manufacturers now have more stringent requirements for the width of the narrow air outlet, and the width needs to be made smaller. At this time, the shielding size of the outer panel to the upper and lower vanes exceeds the thickness of the upper and lower vanes by 2 times or even more. If the existing upper and lower vane structure is continued to be used, the outer panel itself will have a negative effect of intercepting airflow, which will further cause airflow turbulence at the air outlet, and finally cause problems in air volume and air direction.
[0059] In the case that the shielding size of the outer panel to the upper and lower vanes in the narrow air outlet assembly exceeds the thickness of the upper and lower vanes by a large margin, how to improve the structure becomes a technical problem to be solved at present. Through the above structure, the effect of hiding the upper and lower vanes of the narrow air outlet can be achieved, and the negative effect of intercepting airflow can be avoided.
[0060] As shown in Figure 1 The side wall of the shell 500 is provided with a stroke groove 530, and the wheel disc type connecting rod 400 is provided with a stroke block 440. The stroke block 440 is movably arranged in the stroke groove 530 and can limit the movement stroke of the wheel disc type connecting rod 400.
[0061] The cooperation of the stroke block and the stroke groove 530 can limit the rotation stroke of the wheel disc type connecting rod 400, avoid interference between components during rotation, and also enable the wheel disc type connecting rod 400 to be rotatably connected with the shell 500.
[0062] Also provided is a vehicle including a narrow outlet assembly.
[0063] It should be noted that all directional indications, such as upper, lower, left, right, front, rear, etc., are merely used for convenience of description and are not intended to limit the application to a particular orientation. The directional indications are relative and are used to describe the relative position, movement, etc. between components, and if the specific orientation is changed, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited.
