[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an air-conditioning outlet structure includes an outer shell 100, an inner shell 200, a left and right air-regulating assembly 300, an upper and lower air-regulating assembly 400, and an adjusting member 500. The inner shell 200 is arranged in the outer shell 100, and together with the outer shell 100, a first air duct 110 with an upward air outlet and a second air duct 120 with an downward air outlet are formed; the left and right air-regulating assembly 300 includes a first air guide plate 310 and a second air guide plate 320, the first air guide plate 310 is rotatably arranged in the first air duct 110, and the second air guide plate 320 is rotatably arranged in the second air duct 120; the upper and lower air-regulating assembly 400 includes a damper 410, and the damper 410 is rotatable. The adjusting member 500 is movably arranged in the outer shell 100 and can block the first air duct 110 or the second air duct 120; the adjusting member 500 is slidably arranged in the inner shell 200 and is connected to the left and right air regulating components 300 to drive the first air guide plate 310 and the second air guide plate 320 to rotate, and the adjusting member 500 is provided with a shift block 510 extending out of the inner shell 200; the shift block 510 is rotatably arranged on the adjusting member 500 and is connected to the upper and lower air regulating components 400 to drive the damper 410 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, by moving the dial block 510, the adjustment member 500 slides, causing the first and second air guide plates 310, 320 to rotate, thereby adjusting the air conditioning direction left and right. By rotating the dial block 510, the damper 410 blocks the first or second air duct 110, 120, thereby adjusting the air conditioning direction up and down. During use, the user only needs to move or rotate the dial block 510 to adjust the air conditioning direction, simplifying the air conditioning direction adjustment process and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the first air guide plate 310 is hidden within the first air duct 110, and the second air guide plate 320 is hidden within the second air duct 120. Thus, both the first and second air guide plates 310, 320 are concealed, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the vehicle interior.

[0031] A crank 330 is disposed between the first air deflector 310 and the second air deflector 320. The crank 330 has an eccentric shaft 331. The adjusting member 500 is provided with a groove 520, in which the eccentric shaft 331 is disposed. By shifting the shifting block 510, the eccentric shaft 331 slides in the groove 520, which drives the crank 330 to rotate, driving the first and second air deflectors 310 and 320 to rotate, thereby achieving left-right adjustment of the air conditioning direction. The use of the crank 330 mechanism to rotate the first and second air deflectors 310 and 320 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. In addition, the crank 330 is disposed in the inner housing 200, which can make the air outlet structure of the air conditioner more compact.

[0032] Both ends of the crank 330 are provided with limit slots, and both the first air deflector 310 and the second air deflector 320 are provided with limit blocks, which are disposed in the limit slots. By placing the limit blocks in the limit slots, the crank 330 can ensure that it drives the first air deflector 310 and the second air deflector 320 to rotate.

[0033] The left-right air adjustment assembly 300 also includes a first connecting bracket 340 and a second connecting bracket 350. Multiple first air deflectors 310 and second air deflectors 320 are provided. The multiple first air deflectors 310 are spaced apart and rotatably connected to the first connecting bracket 340. The multiple second air deflectors 320 are spaced apart and rotatably connected to the second connecting bracket 350. Specifically, by connecting the multiple air deflectors to the same connecting bracket, the crank 330 only needs to rotate one air deflector to rotate the others, simplifying the air outlet structure of the air conditioner and making it more compact.

[0034] Two adjacent first air guide plates 310 can abut against each other, and two adjacent second air guide plates 320 can abut against each other. Specifically, by toggling the dial block 510, the adjustment member 500 slides, causing the two adjacent air guide plates to abut against each other, thereby closing the air outlet of the air conditioner. When the user toggles the dial block 510, not only can the air direction of the air conditioner be adjusted left and right, but the two adjacent air guide plates can also abut against each other, thereby closing the air outlet of the air conditioner. This can further simplify the air outlet structure of the air conditioner and make it more compact.

[0035] The vertical air adjustment assembly 400 also includes a first transmission member 420 and a second transmission member 430. The first transmission member 420 is disposed in the inner housing 200 and is engaged with the shift block 510. The second transmission member 430 is rotatably disposed on the inner housing 200 and is engaged with the damper 410. The first transmission member 420 has a first meshing portion 4221, and the second transmission member 430 has a second meshing portion 4311. The first meshing portion 4221 meshes with the second meshing portion 4311. The first transmission member 420 and the second transmission member 430 are driven by gear meshing, which ensures stability during the transmission process.

[0036] The first transmission member 420 includes a first connecting block 421 and a second connecting block 422 rotatably disposed on the inner housing 200. One end of the first connecting block 421 is secured within the shift block 510 and hingedly connected to the adjustment member 500. The other end of the first connecting block 421 is movably connected to the second connecting block 422, and a first engaging portion 4221 is disposed on the second connecting block 422. By securing the first connecting block 421 within the shift block 510, when the shift block 510 is rotated, the first connecting block 421 rotates along with the shift block 510, thereby driving the second connecting block 422 to rotate, and ultimately driving the damper 410 to rotate, thereby blocking the first air duct 110 or the second air duct 120, thereby adjusting the air direction of the air conditioner up and down.

[0037] In this embodiment, a mounting block 210 is provided in the inner shell 200, and the adjusting member 500 is slidably provided on the mounting block 210. A rotating shaft 211 is provided on the mounting block 210, and a mounting groove 220 is provided on the inner shell 200. The end of the rotating shaft 211 away from the mounting block 210 is clamped in the mounting groove 220; by clamping the rotating shaft 211 in the mounting groove 220, on the one hand, the installation of the mounting block 210 can be positioned, and on the other hand, the position of the mounting block 210 can be limited to avoid shaking.

[0038] The first connecting block 421 is provided with a first connecting rod 4211, the second connecting block 422 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 4222, and the adjusting member 500 is provided with a slide groove 530. One end of the first connecting rod 4211 is slidably inserted into the waist-shaped hole 4222, and the other end is slidably disposed in the slide groove 530. When the shifting block 510 is rotated, one end of the first connecting rod 4211 slides in the waist-shaped hole 4222, thereby causing the second connecting block 422 to swing. The other end of the first connecting rod 4211 slides in the slide groove 530. The slide groove 530 can limit the position of the first connecting rod 4211, improving the stability of the transmission.

[0039] The second transmission member 430 includes a third connecting block 431, a fourth connecting block 432, and a second connecting rod 433. The third connecting block 431 is rotatably mounted on the inner housing 200, and the fourth connecting block 432 is connected to the damper 410. The ends of the second connecting rod 433 are hingedly connected to the third connecting block 431 and the fourth connecting block 432, respectively, and the second engaging portion 4311 is disposed on the third connecting block 431. In this embodiment, the ends of the second connecting rod 433 are eccentrically mounted to the third connecting block 431 and the fourth connecting block 432, respectively, i.e., an eccentric wheel structure is employed to drive the damper 410 to rotate.

[0040] The fourth connecting block 432 is provided with a clamping block 4321, and the damper 410 is provided with a clamping slot, in which the clamping block 4321 is clamped. The fourth connecting block 432 is connected to the damper 410 by clamping, which has the advantage of being easy to disassemble and easy to repair and maintain.

[0041] This solution provides an air outlet structure for an air conditioner, comprising an outer shell 100, an inner shell 200, a left-right air adjustment assembly 300, a vertical air adjustment assembly 400, and an adjustment member 500. The air direction of the air conditioner can be adjusted vertically and horizontally by turning or rotating a dial block 510. During use, the user only needs to turn or rotate the dial block 510 to adjust the air direction of the air conditioner, simplifying the air direction adjustment process and improving the user experience.
