DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solutions of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] The automobile air-conditioning air outlet device of the present invention is mainly used to control the wind direction of the automobile air-conditioning air outlet. It can change the wind direction of the air outlet without manual adjustment, and can also realize automatic air sweeping, thereby improving the automation level of the entire vehicle. Specific embodiment one:

[0033] like Figure 1-4As shown, an automobile air-conditioning air outlet device includes an air duct 100, a first air guide assembly 200, and a second air guide assembly 300. The air duct 100 is provided with an air outlet; the first air guide assembly 200 includes a first driving member 210 and a first wind ball 220, the first wind ball 220 being hinged at the air outlet; the first driving member 210 is provided on the air duct 100 and can drive the first wind ball 220 to rotate; the second air guide assembly 300 includes a second driving member 310 and a second wind ball 320, the second wind ball 320 being hinged to the first wind ball 220; the second driving member 310 is provided on the air duct 100 and can drive the second wind ball 320 to rotate; the rotation axis of the first wind ball 220 and the rotation axis of the second wind ball 320 are greater than 0° and less than 180°. Among them, the first wind ball 220 is hinged at the air outlet, and the second wind ball 320 is hinged in the first wind ball 220, and the angle between the rotation axes of the two is greater than 0° and less than 180°. By rotating the first wind ball 220 and the second wind ball 320, the wind direction at the air outlet can be changed so that it can blow in multiple different directions; and, by controlling the rotation of the first wind ball 220 through the first driving member 210 and controlling the rotation of the second wind ball 320 through the second driving member 310, the wind direction at the air outlet can be changed, automatic wind sweeping can be achieved, and the degree of automation of the entire vehicle can be improved.

[0034] The rotation axis of the first wind ball 220 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second wind ball 320; by installing the automobile air-conditioning air outlet device at a designated position of the automobile, the air can be swept up and down and left and right of the automobile.

[0035] The first wind ball 220 is provided with a first wind deflector 221, and the second wind ball 320 is provided with a second wind deflector 321. The first wind deflector 221 is perpendicular to the second wind deflector 321 and to the rotation axis of the second wind ball 320. The first and second wind deflectors 221 and 321 can redirect wind, directing it in a specific direction. In this embodiment, the angle between the first wind deflector 221 and the rotation axis of the first wind ball 220 is 0°, and the angle between the second wind deflector 321 and the rotation axis of the second wind ball 320 is also 0°, facilitating the wind balls to control the wind direction at the vehicle air conditioner outlet.

[0036] The first air deflector 221 and the second air deflector 321 are each provided in a plurality, with the plurality of first air deflectors 221 being spaced apart, and the plurality of second air deflectors 321 being spaced apart. The plurality of spaced apart first air deflectors 221 and the plurality of spaced apart second air deflectors 321 can increase the air guiding capacity of the automobile air conditioner outlet device.

[0037] The first wind bulb 220 is hingedly connected to the air duct 100 via a first hinge shaft 230. The first driving member 210 is fixedly connected to the air duct 100, and the output shaft of the first driving member 210 is connected to the first hinge shaft 230. The first driving member 210 directly drives the first wind bulb 220 to rotate via the first hinge shaft 230, simplifying the structure of the automotive air conditioner outlet device and reducing production costs.

[0038] The first hinge shaft 230 is provided with a limiting hole 231 having a first limiting plane 232. The output end of the first driving member 210 is provided with a second limiting plane 211. The output end of the first driving member 210 is inserted into the limiting hole 231, and the first limiting plane 232 is aligned with the second limiting plane 211. The alignment of the first limiting plane 232 with the second limiting plane 211 prevents relative rotation between the output end of the first driving member 210 and the first hinge shaft 230.

[0039] The second wind guide assembly 300 also includes a bidirectional joint 330 and an L-shaped connecting rod 340. The second wind ball 320 is hinged to the first wind ball 220 via a second hinge shaft 322. The L-shaped connecting rod 340 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving member 310. One end of the bidirectional joint 330 is hinged to the second wind ball 320, and the other end is hinged to the end of the L-shaped connecting rod 340 away from the second driving member 310. The second driving member 310 can drive the L-shaped connecting rod 340 to swing, thereby driving the second wind ball 320 to rotate. Preferably, the connection method between the output end of the second driving member 310 and the L-shaped connecting rod 340 is similar to the connection method between the first driving member 210 and the first hinge shaft 230, and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] One end of the bidirectional joint 330 is hinged to the second wind ball 320 via a third hinge axis 331, and the other end is hinged to the end of the L-shaped connecting rod 340 away from the second driving member 310 via a fourth hinge axis 332. The second hinge axis 322 is perpendicular to the third hinge axis 331 and parallel to the fourth hinge axis 332. When the output end of the second driving member 310 drives the L-shaped connecting rod 340 to swing, the L-shaped connecting rod 340 drives the bidirectional joint 330 via the fourth hinge axis 332, which in turn drives the second wind ball 320 to rotate, changing the wind direction at the air outlet.

[0041] The air duct 100 further includes an opening and closing assembly 400, which includes a damper 410 and a third drive member 420. The air duct 100 has an air duct; the damper 410 is hinged on the air duct 100 and can block the air duct; the third drive member 420 is arranged on the air duct 100, and the output end of the third drive member 420 is connected to the damper 410; the damper 410 is driven to rotate by the third drive member 420, so the air duct can be opened or closed, further improving the degree of automation of the automobile. Preferably, the connection structure between the output end of the third drive member 420 and the damper 410 is similar to the connection structure between the first drive member 210 and the first wind ball 220, and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the first drive member 210, the second drive member 310 and the third drive member 420 are all configured as drive motors. Specific embodiment two:

[0043] like Figure 1-3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the difference between the automobile air-conditioning air outlet device of this embodiment and the embodiment 1 is reflected in that the L-shaped connecting rod 340 and the two-way joint 330 in the embodiment 1 are replaced with a Z-shaped connecting rod 360 and a connecting block 350 with a slide groove 351. The other structures are the same and will not be described here.

[0044] Specifically, the second air guide assembly 300 further includes a connecting block 350 and a Z-shaped connecting rod 360. The connecting block 350 is fixedly connected to the second wind ball 320, and a sliding groove 351 is provided on the connecting block 350. One end of the Z-shaped connecting rod 360 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving member 310, and the other end is slidably provided in the sliding groove 351. The second driving member 310 can drive the Z-shaped connecting rod 360 to swing, so that the end of the Z-shaped connecting rod 360 away from the second driving member 310 slides along the sliding groove 351, thereby driving the second wind ball 320 to rotate. Preferably, the Z-shaped connecting rod 360 includes a driving rod 361, the central axis of the driving rod 361 is parallel to the central axis of the second hinge shaft 322, and the connection method between the output end of the second driving member 310 and the Z-shaped connecting rod 360 is similar to the connection method between the first driving member 210 and the first hinge shaft 230, and a detailed description thereof will not be given here.

[0045] This solution provides an automobile air-conditioning air outlet device, including an air duct 100, a first air guide assembly 200, and a second air guide assembly 300; by controlling the operation of the first driving member 210 and the second driving member 310, the first wind ball 220 and the second wind ball 320 are driven to rotate, thereby changing the wind direction at the air outlet, realizing automatic air sweeping, and improving the degree of automation of the entire vehicle.
