[0035] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0036] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an air outlet assembly includes: a shell 100 and a wind direction adjustment component, the wind direction adjustment component can be movably installed as a whole in the shell 100; the wind direction adjustment component includes a movable bracket 200, an outer air guide 400 and at least two inner blades 300, the movable bracket 200 can be connected to the inner wall of the shell 100 so as to swing up and down, each of the inner blades 300 can be installed on the movable bracket 200 so as to swing left and right, the outer air guide 400 is linked to each of the inner blades 300 and can drive each of the inner blades 300 to swing synchronously; when the outer air guide 400 is subjected to left and right forces, it drives the inner blades 300 to swing left and right, and when the outer air guide 400 is subjected to up and down forces, it drives the movable bracket 200 to swing up and down through the inner blades 300 so that the outer air guide 400 swings accordingly.

[0037] The movable bracket 200, the inner blades 300 and the outer wind guide 400 can be assembled into a wind direction adjustment component. The wind direction adjustment component as an assembled integral component can be easily assembled into the shell, which greatly reduces the assembly difficulty of the air outlet assembly and simplifies the assembly process, so it has the advantage of easy installation.

[0038] The movable bracket 200 has a frame-shaped structure, the inner blades 300 are vertically hinged in the movable bracket 200, and the outer air guide member 400 for guiding air is horizontally arranged at the air outlet position of the shell 100. Since the outer air guide member 400 is linked with the inner blades 300, the outer air guide member 400 can move left and right, and can also be pushed up or down. By manipulating the outer air guide member 400, the inner blades 300 and the movable bracket 200 can be moved.

[0039] Among them, the movable bracket 200 is hinged in the shell 100 and can swing upward or downward, the inner blade 300 is hinged in the movable bracket 200 and can swing to the left or right, and the outer air guide member 400 is linked to the inner blade 300 so that the movement of the inner blade 300 can be controlled; since the inner blade 300 can swing left and right, the function of guiding wind left and right can be realized, and the outer air guide member 400 can adjust the direction of the outer air guide member 400 by the up and down swinging of the movable bracket 200, so the function of guiding wind up and down can be realized.

[0040] It should be pointed out that the up and down swinging and the left and right swinging mentioned in this scheme should be understood as swinging upward or downward, and swinging to the left or right. Similarly, the up and down wind guiding and the left and right wind guiding should be understood as guiding the wind upward or downward, and guiding the wind to the left or right.

[0041] The working principle and process of the air outlet assembly are as follows: when the outer air guide member 400 is centered, air is discharged from the front of the air outlet; when the outer air guide member 400 is pushed to the left or to the right, the outer air guide member 400 drives all the inner blades 300 to swing to the left or to the right, thereby causing the air outlet to blow air to the left or to the right; when the outer air guide member 400 is pushed upward or downward, the inner blades 300 drive the movable bracket 200 to swing upward or downward, thereby causing the outer air guide member 400 to swing up and down relative to the shell 100, thereby causing the air outlet to blow air upward or downward.

[0042] This solution simplifies the motion structure of the air outlet assembly and eliminates many corresponding components. The motion function of the inner and outer air guides 400 can be realized without setting a knob or a toggle fork structure, and it is very convenient to operate. The outer air guide 400 can be moved left and right to control the inner blades 300 to guide the air left and right, and the outer air guide 400 can also be moved up and down directly to control the up and down air guiding. The motion mechanism loss and failure risk are relatively small.

[0043] like Figure 1-3 As shown, hinge shafts 210 are provided on both sides of the movable bracket 200, and the hinge shafts 210 are passed through the inner side wall of the housing 100 so that the movable bracket 200 is hinged to the housing 100. The movable bracket 200 can rotate around the axis of the hinge shaft 210, and in the actual structure, the hinge shaft 210 is horizontally arranged, and the movable bracket can swing upward or downward around the hinge shaft 210.

[0044] The inner blade 300 is provided with a rotating shaft 310, and the rotating shaft 310 is passed through the movable bracket 200 so that the inner blade 300 is hinged to the movable bracket 200. The inner blade 300 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 310, and in the actual structure, the rotating shaft 310 is vertically arranged, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 310 are respectively inserted into the upper part and the lower part of the movable bracket 200, and the inner blade 300 can swing leftward or rightward around the rotating shaft 310.

[0045] Since the rotating shaft 310 is vertically arranged and the hinge shaft 210 is horizontally arranged, the axis of the rotating shaft 310 is perpendicular to the axis of the hinge shaft 210, so that the movable bracket 200 can swing up and down and support the inner blade 300 to swing left and right.

[0046] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the number of the inner blades 300 is at least two, and each of the inner blades 300 is linked to the outer air guide 400. The inner blades 300 are evenly spaced and arranged along the width direction of the housing 100, and each inner blade 300 is hinged to the movable bracket 200, and each inner blade 300 is linked to the outer air guide 400. When the outer air guide 400 is moved left and right, all the inner blades 300 swing left or right synchronously.

[0047] The outer air guide 400 includes a connecting rod portion 410 , and the inner blades 300 are provided with a linkage shaft 320 . The linkage shaft 320 of each inner blade 300 is connected to the connecting rod portion 410 so that each inner blade 300 is linked and connected.

[0048] The inner blade 300 has a linkage shaft 320 and a rotating shaft 310. The linkage shaft 320 is vertically arranged like the rotating shaft 310, and the connecting rod part 410 is horizontally arranged. Each inner blade 300 is connected to the connecting rod part 410 through its own linkage shaft 320, thereby realizing the linkage connection between the inner blade 300 and the outer air guide member 400, and the outer air guide member 400 can drive each inner blade 300 to move together through the connecting rod part 410 and the linkage shaft 320. When the outer air guide member 400 is pushed left and right, the connecting rod part 410 drives each inner blade 300 to swing to the left or right together, thereby causing the air outlet to guide air to the left or right.

[0049] like Figure 1-3 , Figure 7 As shown, the outer air guide member 400 is configured as an annular frame structure, and the outer air guide member 400 also includes a side portion 420 and at least two parallel horizontal strip portions 430, each of the horizontal strip portions 430 is connected by the side portion 420, and an air guide port 440 is formed between each of the horizontal strip portions 430.

[0050] Different from the traditional blade shape, the outer air guide member 400 is not a traditional horizontal grille-like structure, but a ring-shaped frame structure. The side ends of the two horizontal strips 430 are integrally connected through the side edge portion 420. The two horizontal strips 430 correspondingly arranged up and down are arranged horizontally, and the horizontal strips 430 can change the wind direction of the air outlet according to the degree of their own upward or downward inclination. In the actual adjustment process, when the outer air guide member 400 swings upward or downward, the air guide outlet 440 tilts upward or downward, thereby achieving the effect of guiding the wind up and down.

[0051] This shape of the outer air guide member 400 is more compatible with the wind direction adjustment component of the present solution and is more innovative in design, which is conducive to the user directly manipulating the outer air guide member 400 for adjustment and makes the air outlet more concise.

[0052] Preferably, the number of the connecting rod parts 410 is two, the two connecting rod parts 410 are respectively connected to the two horizontal bar parts 430 in one piece, and the two ends of the linkage shaft 320 are respectively passed through the two connecting rod parts 410 .

[0053] In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the outer air guide member 400 and the inner blades 300 and to ensure the smooth movement of the inner blades 300 and the outer air guide member 400, connecting rod portions 410 are specially arranged on the two horizontal strips 430 of the outer air guide member 400, and the two ends of the linkage shaft 320 are connected to the two connecting rod portions 410. This can make the connection between the outer air guide member 400 and the inner blades 300 more stable and also allow the outer air guide member 400 to drive the inner blades 300 to move more smoothly.

[0054] Preferably, the outer air guide 400 is suspended in the air outlet of the housing 100 when in the centered state. The outer air guide 400 adopts a suspended design, and from the front of the air outlet, since the rear of the outer air guide 400 is connected to the inner blade 300, and the edge of the outer air guide 400 does not contact the housing 100, it presents a suspended effect, which greatly improves the visual effect of the air outlet.

[0055] A vehicle is also provided, comprising: an air outlet assembly.

[0056] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0057] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions such as "first", "second", "one", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0058] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, the terms "connected", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixed" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited.

[0059] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
