[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of automobiles, and more specifically, to a sealing device for an air-conditioning moving air duct. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of the intelligent and electrified level of automobiles, there are more and more movable center consoles that can move back and forth on automobiles, which can meet the usage requirements of front and rear passengers in different scenarios and ensure sufficient activity space for passengers in the vehicle. At the same time, rear-row users have higher requirements for air-conditioning functions.

In the prior art, the air-conditioning air duct is composed of an inner air duct and an outer air duct, and the inner air duct and the outer air duct can move relative to each other. Therefore, there is a movement gap between the inner air duct and the outer air duct, and the sealing form of this movement gap adopts an adhesive sponge strip for sealing.

[0004] However, during the long-term telescopic movement of the air duct, the sealing sponge is prone to problems such as falling off and wear, and cannot effectively play the role of air duct sealing. Summary of the Invention

[0016] When the ratio between the distance between the outer air duct and the inner air duct and the diameter of the gear is greater than 1.1, or when the ratio between the distance between the outer air duct and the inner air duct and the diameter of the gear is less than 0.9, the gear is rotatably connected to the support member.

[0017] Optionally, the cross-section of the inner air duct is square, or the cross-section of the outer air duct is square.

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an air duct of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring toFigure 2 , showing a partial exploded structural schematic diagram of a sealing assembly proposed in an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 , 2 shown, in an embodiment of the present application, an air duct for an air conditioner is proposed, including an inner air duct 1, an outer air duct 2, and a sealing assembly. Among them, there is at least one accommodation area 5 between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, and the sealing assembly is located in the accommodation area 5. The sealing assembly includes a support member 31, a sealing sleeve 32, and a displacement guide member 33. The sealing sleeve 32 is sleeved on the support member 31, and the sealing sleeve 32 is in rolling contact with both the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 at the same time.

[0039] Compared with the form of the sealing strip fixed on the inner air duct 1 or the outer air duct 2 in the existing air duct for an air conditioner, adopting a rolling sealing sleeve 32 between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 can make the sealing sleeve 32 move at the same speed as the inner air duct 1 or the outer air duct 2 under the action of friction force during the relative movement of the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2. There is rolling contact between the sealing sleeve 32 and the inner air duct 1 and between the sealing sleeve 32 and the outer air duct 2. While maintaining the sealing effect between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, the friction force of the sealing sleeve 32 on the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 is effectively reduced, thereby extending the service life of the sealing sleeve 32.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the sealing sleeve 32 can be sponge. In order to ensure the tight contact between the sealing sleeve 32 and the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, and the sealing performance of the sponge sealing sleeve 32 for plugging the gap between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, the compression amount of the part of the sealing sleeve 32 in contact with the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 is 30%-70%. When the sealing sleeve 32 reaches the best sealing effect, the compression amount of the part of the sealing sleeve 32 in contact with the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 is 50%.

[0041] In other embodiments, the material of the sealing sleeve 32 can also be foamed rubber.

[0042] At the same time, when the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 move relatively, the sealing sleeve 32 is also likely to be skewed between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 due to the different friction forces between its surface and the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, resulting in the failure of the sealing effect. And it is easy to cause the situation that the sealing sleeve 32 no longer rotates between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 and the static friction still exists between the sealing strip 32 and the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 due to reasons such as the weakening of the friction force between the sealing sleeve 32 and the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2. To solve the above situations, through the displacement guide member 33, when the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 move relatively, the support member 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 roll in the direction of the relative movement of the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1.

[0043] When the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 move relative to each other, the displacement guide 33 drives the support 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 to roll between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1. The displacement guide 33 drives the support 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 to move linearly, effectively preventing the sealing sleeve 32 from skewing during movement. At the same time, by driving the support 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 to roll between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 through the displacement guide 33, it can also keep the sealing sleeve 32 in rolling contact with both the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 during the movement between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1, thereby reducing the frictional force between the sealing sleeve 32 and the two during the relative movement of the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 and extending the service life of the sealing sleeve 32.

[0044] Figure 3 The exploded structural schematic diagram of the air-conditioning air duct proposed in an embodiment of the present application is shown. As Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the displacement guide 33 includes a first rack 331, a second rack 332 and a gear 333. The first rack 331 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer air duct 2, and the second rack 332 is arranged on the outer wall of the inner air duct 1. The first rack 331 and the second rack 332 are parallel to each other and are both parallel to the relative movement direction between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, and the gear 333 meshes with both the first rack 331 and the second rack 332 at the same time. The gear 333 is rotatably connected to the support 31, or the gear 333 is fixedly connected to the support 31.

[0045] By keeping the gear 333 meshing with the first rack 331 and the second rack 332, the gear 333 can move linearly during the movement. And since the gear necessarily rolls between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, it can push the support 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 to move in the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, keeping the sealing sleeve 32 in rolling contact with the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1.

[0046] Wherein, in an embodiment of the present application, when the ratio between the distance between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 and the diameter of the gear 333 is between 1.1 and 0.9, at this time, the peripheral linear velocity of the gear 333 when rotating between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 is basically the same as the linear velocity of the sealing sleeve 32 when rotating between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2. In this state, the gear 333 can be fixedly connected to the support 31. Specifically, 1.1 ≥ the distance between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 / the outer diameter of the gear 333 ≥ 0.9. At this time, when the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 move relative to each other, the linear velocity of the edge of the gear 333 moving relative to the former two is basically the same as the linear velocity of the edge of the sealing sleeve 32 moving. By fixedly connecting the gear 333 to the support 31, it can be ensured that when the gear 333 rolls, the sealing sleeve 32 and the gear 333 rotate at the same angular velocity and will not cause excessive wear to the sealing sleeve 32.

[0047] In another embodiment of the present application, when the ratio between the distance between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 and the diameter of the gear 333 is greater than 1.1, or when the ratio between the distance between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 and the diameter of the gear 333 is less than 0.9, the peripheral linear velocity of the gear 333 when rotating between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 has a large difference from the linear velocity of the sealing sleeve 32 when rotating between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2. When the sealing sleeve 32 and the gear 333 rotate at the same angular velocity, the sealing sleeve 32 is prone to static friction with the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 due to the excessive or too slow peripheral linear velocity. Therefore, in this case, the gear 333 is rotatably connected to the support member. Specifically, the distance between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 / the outer diameter of the gear 333 > 1.1, or the distance between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 / the outer diameter of the gear 333 < 0.9, and the gear 333 is rotatably connected to the support member 31. At this time, when the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 move relative to each other, the gear 333 rotates in cooperation with the first rack 331 and the second rack 332, and the sealing sleeve 32 rotates under the action of the frictional force between itself and the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2. The gear 333 and the sealing sleeve 32 rotate relative to each other, and the gear 333 pushes the support member 31 to move between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 during the rotation process, which can also effectively prevent the situation of static friction where the sealing sleeve 32 is relatively stationary with any one of the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2, and extend the service life of the sealing sleeve 32.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the inner air duct 1 is square, the outer air duct 2 is sleeved on the inner air duct 1, the cross-section of the outer air duct 2 is in a hollow cross shape, and the four corners of the outer contour of the inner air duct 1 are respectively aligned with the four sharp corners protruding inward of the inner contour of the outer air duct 2, so that square accommodating regions 5 are respectively formed around the inner air duct 1 between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1, and a sealing assembly is arranged in each accommodating region 5.

[0049] Among them, the support member 31 in the sealing assembly is in a cylindrical shape, the axis of the support member 31 is parallel to the surface of the inner air duct 1 in the accommodating region 5 where it is located, and is perpendicular to the relative movement direction between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2. The gear 333 can be fixedly connected to the support member 31, or a roller 4 is rotatably and coaxially arranged in the support member 31, and the gear 333 is rotatably connected to the support member 31 through the roller 4.

[0050] In order to make the displacement guide 33 apply a more uniform moving force to the support member 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 when the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 move relative to each other, the displacement guide 33 can be respectively located at both ends of the support member 31. By applying force synchronously through the displacement guides 33 on both sides of the support member 31, the support member 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 can move more smoothly between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2.

[0051] Refer toFigure 4 , showing a schematic structural diagram of the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 proposed in another embodiment of the present application, as Figure 4 shown, in another embodiment of the present application, the interface shape of the outer air duct 2 is square. In addition to the square duct of the inner air duct 1, at least four support pieces extend outward from the outer wall of the inner air duct 1. The outer air duct 2 is sleeved on the inner air duct 1, and one side of the support piece away from the inner air duct 1 abuts against the inner wall of the outer air duct 2. Through the four support pieces, the closed-loop gap between the square duct of the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 is divided into four square accommodation areas 5, and a sealing component is arranged in each accommodation area 5.

[0052] Referring to Figure 5 , showing a schematic structural diagram of the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 proposed in another embodiment of the present application, as Figure 5 shown, in another embodiment of the present application, the cross-section of the inner air duct 1 is circular, and the cross-section of the outer air duct 2 is also circular. The outer air duct 2 is sleeved on the inner air duct 1, and an annular accommodation area 5 is formed between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1. The sealing component is arranged in the annular accommodation area 5. Among them, the support member 31 in the sealing component is in an unclosed ring shape, and the sealing sleeve 32 is sleeved on the support member 31. At least two displacement guiding members 33 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the inner air duct 1 in the annular accommodation area 5.

[0053] Specifically, there are two groups of the support member 31, the sealing sleeve 32 and the displacement guiding member 33. The support member 31 and the displacement guiding member 33 are spaced apart in the accommodation area 5 and are connected into a closed ring shape. Through the evenly spaced multiple displacement guiding members 33, a uniform force can be applied to the support member 31 and the sealing sleeve 32, so that the sealing sleeve 32 rolls smoothly between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1.

[0054] Specifically, the support member 31 can be a corrugated pipe, the sealing sleeve 32 is bonded to the outside of the corrugated pipe, and the corrugated pipe can roll along the inner air duct 1 in the annular accommodation area 5. In other embodiments, the support member 31 can also be a flexible rubber pipe.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, when the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 move relative to each other, the displacement guiding member 33 drives the support member 31 to move relative to each other between the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1, so that the sealing sleeve 32 on the support member 31 and the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1 change from the previous static friction to rolling friction, reducing the friction between the sealing sleeve 32 and the outer air duct 2 and the inner air duct 1, and extending the service life of the sealing sleeve 32, thereby improving the sealing effect of the gap between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] Based on the same inventive concept, another embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, which is applied with an air duct as provided in the first embodiment of the present application.

[0058] By making the sealing sleeve 32 that plays a sealing role in the accommodating area 5 between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 roll relatively between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 when the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2 move relatively, the sliding friction in the past is changed into rolling friction, reducing the frictional force and the wear of the sealing sleeve 32, prolonging the service life of the sealing sleeve 32, and the sealing effect on the gap between the inner air duct 1 and the outer air duct 2.

[0059] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are all described in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same and similar parts among the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
