Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, and in particular to a hidden air outlet for an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] The air outlet of the automobile air conditioner is one of the essential parts of the automobile. In order to meet the temperature requirements of drivers of different heights, different body shapes and different habits, the air outlet of the air conditioner rotates along the rotation center to obtain the customary wind speed and temperature. The conventional air outlets currently on the market, after being installed on the panel of the car, users can directly see the opening and blades of the air outlet, which destroys the integrity of the panel. Although a new type of air outlet has appeared, by setting the opening of the air outlet at an angle, after being installed on the panel of the car, the opening of the air outlet can be partially hidden, but the opening of the air outlet can still be directly seen by the user, which destroys the integrity of the panel. In addition, in order to realize the functions of up and down air guidance, left and right air guidance and air volume control, the existing air outlets need main blades, secondary blades and dampers and other mechanisms, with a large number of parts and occupying a large space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention is further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 15 A hidden air outlet of an air conditioner shown in the figure comprises a shell body 1 and an air guide mechanism 2, the shell body 1 having at least one air outlet channel, the air guide mechanism 2 comprising an air guide member and an air shield member rotatably arranged in the air outlet channel, the outlet of the air outlet channel being inclined, the air guide member and the air shield member being both arranged at the outlet adjacent to the air outlet channel, the air guide member being located on the outside of the air shield member, the rotation axis of the air guide member and the rotation axis of the air shield member being located on opposite sides of the outlet, and the air guide member and the air shield member being both able to rotate from the inside of the air outlet channel through the outlet of the air outlet channel to the outside of the air outlet channel, and when the air guide member and the air shield member rotate out of the air outlet channel, the rotation direction of the air guide member and the rotation direction of the air shield member are opposite.

[0034] In this embodiment, the housing 1 has two air outlet channels, which are an upper air outlet channel 1.1 and a lower air outlet channel 1.2, wherein the outlet of the upper air outlet channel 1.1 is arranged obliquely downward and is configured to output a first airflow, and the outlet of the lower air outlet channel 1.2 is arranged obliquely upward and is configured to output a second airflow, and accordingly, the housing 1 has two air guides and two air shields, respectively, the two air guides are an upper air guide 2.1 and a lower air guide 2.3, and the two air shields are an upper air shield 2.2 and a lower air shield 2.4, wherein the upper air guide 2.1 and the upper air shield 2.4 are respectively provided. .2 is rotatably arranged in the upper air outlet channel 1.1, the lower air guide member 2.3 and the lower wind shield member 2.4 are rotatably arranged in the lower air outlet channel 1.2, and the rotation axis of the upper air guide member 2.1 and the rotation axis of the upper wind shield member 2.2 are located on opposite sides of the outlet, when the upper air guide member 2.1 and the upper wind shield member 2.2 rotate out of the upper air outlet channel 1.1, the rotation direction of the upper air guide member 2.1 and the rotation direction of the upper wind shield member 2.2 are opposite, that is, when the upper air guide member 2.1 and the upper wind shield member 2.2 rotate out of the upper air outlet channel 1.1, one of them rotates clockwise and the other rotates counterclockwise.

[0035] The rotation axis of the lower air guide member 2.3 and the rotation axis of the lower wind shield member 2.4 are located on opposite sides of the outlet. When the lower air guide member 2.3 and the lower wind shield member 2.4 rotate outwardly toward the lower air outlet channel 1.2, the rotation direction of the lower air guide member 2.3 and the rotation direction of the lower wind shield member 2.4 are opposite, that is, when the lower air guide member 2.3 and the lower wind shield member 2.4 rotate outwardly toward the lower air outlet channel 1.2, one of them rotates clockwise and the other rotates counterclockwise.

[0036] In addition, the air outlet is installed on the panel 3 facing the passenger compartment. The panel 3 has an upper guide part 3.1 matched with the upper air outlet channel 1.1 and a lower guide part 3.2 matched with the lower air outlet channel 1.2. The upper guide part 3.1 is tilted upward, and the lower guide part 3.2 is tilted downward. This allows the airflow to blow out in a specific direction. When the upper air guide 2.1 closes the outlet of the upper air outlet channel 1.1, the upper air guide 2.1 smoothly transitions with the upper guide part 3.1 and is located on the same straight line as the upper guide part 3.1; when the lower air guide 2.3 closes the outlet of the lower air outlet channel 1.2, the lower air guide 2.3 smoothly transitions with the lower guide part 3.2 and is located on the same straight line as the lower guide part 3.2, making the overall shape more beautiful. When observed from the cockpit, there is no air duct on the car panel 3.

[0037] The air outlet further comprises an upper actuator 4 and a lower actuator 5, wherein the upper actuator 4 is respectively coupled with the upper air guide member 2.1 and the upper air shield member 2.2 to drive the upper air guide member 2.1 and the upper air shield member 2.2 to rotate, thereby realizing different blowing modes.

[0038] The output end of the upper actuator 4 is connected to the upper air guide 2.1 by transmission. The upper air guide 2.1 is provided with an upper linkage 2.5 matched with the upper wind shield 2.2. When the upper air guide 2.1 rotates within the first angle range, the upper wind shield 2.2 does not respond to the action of the upper air guide 2.1 through the upper linkage 2.5, and the upper wind shield 2.2 remains stationary. At this time, only the upper air guide 2.1 rotates. When the upper air guide 2.1 rotates within the second angle range, the upper air guide 2.1 drives the upper wind shield 2.2 to rotate through the upper linkage 2.5. At this time, the upper air guide 2.1 and the upper linkage 2.5 rotate synchronously.

[0039] Specifically, the upper linkage member 2.5 includes a first upper connecting end that cooperates with the upper air guide member 2.1 and a second upper connecting end that cooperates with the upper wind shield member 2.2. An upper slide groove 2.51 is formed on the first upper connecting end, and the upper air guide member 2.1 has an upper protrusion that extends into the upper slide groove 2.51. The second upper connecting end is directly rotatably connected to the upper wind shield member 2.2.

[0040] When the upper air guide 2.1 rotates within the first angle range, the upper protrusion moves in the upper slide groove 2.51, so that the upper linkage 2.5 does not move, and the upper wind shield 2.2 does not move. When the upper air guide 2.1 rotates within the second angle range, it drives the upper air guide 2.1 to rotate, and the upper protrusion abuts against the side wall of the upper slide groove 2.51, thereby driving the upper linkage 2.5 to move, so that the upper wind shield 2.2 rotates at the same time, and the rotation angles of the upper air guide 2.1 and the upper wind shield 2.2 are the same. One actuator can make the upper air guide 2.1 and the upper wind shield 2.2 rotate according to the set angle. In this embodiment, the first angle range is 0-20°, and the second angle range is 20°-50°. Thus, when the upper air guide member 2.1 rotates within the first wind guide angle, the upper wind shield member 2.2 can rotate within the first wind shield angle range; when the upper air guide member 2.1 rotates within the second wind guide angle, the upper wind shield member 2.2 can rotate within the second wind shield angle range; when the upper air guide member 2.1 rotates within the third wind guide angle, the upper wind shield member 2.2 can rotate within the third wind shield angle range, thereby enabling the upper air outlet channel 1.1 to achieve different blowing modes.

[0041] In addition, an upper torsion spring 2.8 is provided between the upper wind shield 2.2 and the upper air outlet channel 1.1, one end of the upper torsion spring 2.8 is connected to the upper air outlet channel 1.1, and the other end of the upper torsion spring 2.8 is connected to the upper wind shield 2.2. When the upper air guide member 2.1 rotates downward, the wind shield will be driven to rotate through the upper linkage member 2.5, causing the upper torsion spring 2.8 to deform. When the upper air guide member 2.1 rotates upward, the side wall of the upper slide groove 2.51 on the upper linkage member no longer abuts against the upper protrusion, and the upper linkage member 2.5 cannot directly drive the wind shield to rotate, so it drives the upper wind shield 2.2 to rotate synchronously through the elastic reset of the upper torsion spring 2.8.

[0042] The output end of the lower actuator 5 is connected to the lower air guide 2.3 by transmission. The lower air guide 2.3 is provided with a lower linkage 2.6 that matches the lower wind shield 2.4. When the lower air guide 2.3 rotates within the first angle range, the lower wind shield 2.4 does not respond to the action of the lower air guide 2.3 through the lower linkage 2.6, and the lower wind shield 2.4 remains stationary. At this time, only the lower air guide 2.3 rotates. When the lower air guide 2.3 rotates within the second angle range, the lower air guide 2.3 drives the lower wind shield 2.4 to rotate through the lower linkage 2.6. At this time, the lower air guide 2.3 and the lower linkage 2.6 rotate synchronously.

[0043] Specifically, the lower linkage member 2.6 includes a first lower connecting end that cooperates with the lower air guide member 2.3 and a second lower connecting end that cooperates with the lower wind shield member 2.4. A lower sliding groove 2.61 is formed under the first lower connecting end, and a lower protrusion extending into the lower sliding groove 2.61 is provided under the lower air guide member 2.3. The second lower connecting end is directly rotatably connected to the wind shield member.

[0044] When the lower air guide 2.3 rotates within the first angle range, the lower protrusion moves in the lower slide groove 2.61, so that the lower linkage 2.6 does not move, and thus the lower wind shield 2.4 does not move. When the lower air guide 2.3 rotates within the second angle range, it drives the lower air guide 2.3 to rotate, and the lower protrusion abuts against the side wall of the lower slide groove 2.61, thereby driving the lower linkage 2.6 to move, so that the lower wind shield 2.4 rotates at the same time, and the rotation angles of the lower air guide 2.3 and the lower wind shield 2.4 are the same. One actuator can make the lower air guide 2.3 and the lower wind shield 2.4 rotate according to the set angle. In this embodiment, the first angle range is 0-20°, and the second angle range is 20°-50°. Thus, when the lower air guide member 2.3 rotates within the first wind guide angle, the lower wind shield member 2.4 can rotate within the first wind shield angle range; when the lower air guide member 2.3 rotates within the second wind guide angle, the lower wind shield member 2.4 can rotate within the second wind shield angle range; when the lower air guide member 2.3 rotates within the third wind guide angle, the lower wind shield member 2.4 can rotate within the third wind shield angle range, thereby enabling the lower air outlet channel 1.2 to achieve different blowing modes.

[0045] In addition, a lower torsion spring 2.9 is provided between the lower wind shield 2.4 and the lower air outlet channel 1.2, one end of the lower torsion spring 2.9 is connected to the lower air outlet channel 1.2, and the other end of the lower torsion spring 2.9 is connected to the lower wind shield 2.4. When the lower air guide member 2.3 rotates downward, the wind shield will be driven to rotate through the lower linkage member 2.6, causing the lower torsion spring 2.9 to deform. When the lower air guide member 2.3 rotates downward, the side wall of the lower sliding groove 2.61 under the lower linkage member no longer abuts against the lower protrusion, and the lower linkage member 2.6 cannot directly drive the wind shield to rotate, so it drives the lower wind shield 2.4 to rotate synchronously through the elastic reset of the lower torsion spring 2.9.

[0046] See also Figures 7 to 10 As shown, for the upper air outlet channel 1.1, the following blowing modes can be realized, where A, B, and C correspond to the passenger's head, chest, and abdomen, respectively.

[0047] See also Figure 7 As shown, in closed mode: when the upper air guide piece 2.1 is in the initial position, the upper air guide piece 2.1 is located inside the upper air outlet channel 1.1, and the upper air guide piece 2.1 closes the outlet of the upper air outlet channel 1.1. At this time, no airflow is blown out of the upper air outlet channel 1.1, and when the upper air guide piece 2.1 and the upper guide portion 3.1 have a smooth transition and are located on the same straight line as the upper guide portion 3.1, the air outlet can be completely hidden, and the overall shape is more beautiful.

[0048] See also Figure 8As shown, the first mode: the upper wind guide member 2.1 rotates within the first wind guide angle range, and when the upper wind shield member 2.2 rotates within the first wind shield angle range, the upper wind shield member 2.2 has almost no obstruction on the outlet of the upper air outlet channel 1.1, and the upper wind shield member 2.2 has no obstruction on the upper guide portion 3.1. The upper wind shield member 2.2 guides the first airflow, and cooperates with the upper guide portion 3.1 to guide the first airflow. The first airflow is affected by the upper guide portion 3.1, and a Coanda effect is generated, so that the first airflow blows to the first upper area. For the passengers in the car, the first upper area corresponds to the passenger's head position.

[0049] See also Fig. 9 As shown, the second mode: the upper wind guide member 2.1 rotates within the second wind guide angle range, and when the upper wind shield member 2.2 rotates within the second wind shield angle range, the upper wind shield member 2.2 partially blocks the outlet of the upper air outlet channel 1.1, and the upper wind shield member 2.2 partially blocks the upper guide portion 3.1. The upper wind shield member 2.2 guides the first airflow, and at the same time, part of the first airflow is affected by the upper guide portion 3.1, resulting in a Coanda effect, so that the first airflow blows to the second upper area. For the passengers in the car, the second upper area corresponds to the position between the passenger's head and chest.

[0050] See also Fig.10 As shown, the third mode: when the upper wind guide member 2.1 rotates within the third wind guide angle range, and the upper wind shield member 2.2 rotates within the third wind shield angle range, the upper wind shield member 2.2 blocks the outlet of the upper air outlet channel 1.1, and the upper wind shield member 2.2 completely blocks the upper guide portion 3.1, so that the first airflow is not affected by the upper guide portion 3.1, and only the upper wind shield member 2.2 guides the first airflow, so that the first airflow blows to the third upper area. For the passengers in the car, the third upper area corresponds to the chest position of the passengers.

[0051] The first wind guide angle ranges from 0-30°, the second wind guide angle ranges from 30°-40°, and the third wind guide angle ranges from 40°-50°; the first wind shielding angle ranges from 0-10°, the second wind shielding angle ranges from 10°-20°, and the third wind shielding angle ranges from 20°-30°.

[0052] See also Figure 7 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, for the lower air outlet channel 1.2, the following blowing modes can be realized, where A, B, and C correspond to the passenger's head, chest, and abdomen, respectively.

[0053] See also Figure 7As shown, closed mode: when the lower air guide piece 2.3 is in the initial position, the lower air guide piece 2.3 is located inside the lower air outlet channel 1.2, and the lower air guide piece 2.3 closes the outlet of the lower air outlet channel 1.2. At this time, no airflow is blown out of the lower air outlet channel 1.2, and the lower air guide piece 2.3 has a smooth transition with the lower guide portion 3.2 and is located on the same straight line as the lower guide portion 3.2, so that the air outlet can be completely hidden, and the overall shape is more beautiful.

[0054] See also Fig.11 As shown, the first mode: the lower wind guide member 2.3 rotates within the first wind guide angle range, and when the lower wind shield member 2.4 rotates within the first wind shield angle range, the lower wind shield member 2.4 has almost no shielding on the outlet of the lower air outlet channel 1.2, and the lower wind shield member 2.4 has no shielding on the lower guide portion 3.2. The lower wind shield member 2.4 guides the second airflow, and cooperates with the lower guide portion 3.2 to guide the airflow. The second airflow is affected by the lower guide portion 3.2 to produce a Coanda effect, so that the second airflow blows to the first lower area. For the passengers in the car, the first lower area corresponds to the abdominal position of the passengers.

[0055] See also Fig.12 As shown, the second mode: the lower wind guide member 2.3 rotates within the second wind guide angle range, and the lower wind shield member 2.4 rotates within the second wind shield angle range. At this time, the lower wind shield member 2.4 partially blocks the outlet of the lower air outlet channel 1.2, and the lower wind shield member 2.4 partially blocks the lower guide portion 3.2. The lower wind shield member 2.4 guides the second airflow, and at the same time, part of the second airflow is affected by the lower guide portion 3.2, resulting in a Coanda effect, so that the second airflow blows to the second lower area. For the passengers in the car, the second lower area corresponds to the position between the abdomen and chest of the passenger.

[0056] See also Fig.13 As shown, the third mode: when the lower wind guide member 2.3 rotates within the third wind guide angle range and the lower wind shield member 2.4 rotates within the third wind shield angle range, the lower wind shield member 2.4 blocks the outlet of the lower air outlet channel 1.2, and the lower wind shield member 2.4 completely blocks the lower guide portion 3.2, so that the second airflow is not affected by the lower guide portion 3.2, and only the lower wind shield member 2.4 guides the second airflow, so that the second airflow blows to the third lower area. For the passengers in the car, the third lower area corresponds to the chest position of the passengers.

[0057] The first wind guide angle ranges from 0-30°, the second wind guide angle ranges from 30°-40°, and the third wind guide angle ranges from 40°-50°; the first wind shielding angle ranges from 0-10°, the second wind shielding angle ranges from 10°-20°, and the third wind shielding angle ranges from 20°-30°.

[0058] The first upper area, the second upper area and the third upper area form a first airflow that can directionally cover the upper air outlet area. The first lower area, the second lower area and the third lower area form a second airflow that can directionally cover the lower air outlet area. And the first upper area and the second upper area cooperate to form an upper independent area, in which only the first airflow can cover, so as to achieve precise wind direction control. The first lower area and the second lower area cooperate to form a lower independent area, in which only the second airflow can cover, so as to achieve precise wind direction control. The third upper area and the third lower area overlap to form an intermediate air collecting part. At this time, if the first airflow and the second airflow are both blown to the intermediate air collecting part, there is an intersection between the first airflow and the second airflow. The intermediate air collecting part is located between the outlet of the upper air outlet channel 1.1 and the outlet of the lower air outlet channel 1.2. For passengers in the car, the intermediate air collecting part corresponds to the chest position of the passengers.

[0059] The upper actuator 4 and the lower actuator 5 operate independently, so that the blowing mode that can be realized by the upper air outlet channel 1.1 and the blowing mode that can be realized by the lower air outlet channel 1.2 are independently performed, so that any blowing mode in the upper air outlet channel 1.1 and any blowing mode in the lower air outlet channel 1.2 can be arbitrarily combined.

[0060] See also Fig.14 As shown, the upper air outlet channel 1.1 and the lower air outlet channel 1.2 are both in the second mode, at which time the first airflow blows to the position between the passenger's head and chest, and the second airflow blows to the position between the passenger's abdomen and chest, see Fig.15 As shown, the upper air outlet channel 1.1 and the lower air outlet channel 1.2 are both in the third mode, at which time the first airflow and the second airflow both blow toward the chest position of the passenger.

[0061] The air outlet of the present invention is provided with an air guide member in the air outlet channel, and the air guide member closes the outlet of the air outlet channel, so that after the air outlet is installed on the car panel, the air outlet is integrated with the shape of the car panel. When observed from the cockpit, there is no air duct on the car panel, thereby achieving complete hiding of the air outlet, and by providing an air guide member and a wind shield member, and the air guide member and the wind shield member rotate in coordination, when the air guide member and the wind shield member rotate at the same time, the air guide member gradually reduces the shielding area of ​​the outlet of the air outlet channel, and guides the airflow output from the outlet of the air outlet channel, and the air guide member gradually increases the shielding area of ​​the outlet of the air outlet channel, and blocks the airflow output from the outlet of the air outlet channel, thereby achieving up and down adjustment of the air outlet range, so that the final air outlet blows to different areas respectively, and the adjustment is simple.

[0062] In addition, a vertically rotatably mounted wind guide blade 2.7 is provided in the air outlet channel, and the air outlet further comprises a rear actuator 6 matched with the wind guide blade 2.7, and the rear actuator 6 drives the wind guide blade 2.7 to rotate, thereby adjusting the left and right wind direction.

[0063] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The directional words such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" described in the embodiments of the present application are described at the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to another element "upper" or "lower", but also indirectly connected to another element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of the patent application of the present invention are included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
