Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automotive air vents, and more particularly to an air vent for vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of intelligent and electronically controlled vehicles, the direction of airflow from car vents and their operation have evolved from manual to electric and voice-controlled. This requires actuators, and currently, the mainstream market still requires one actuator for each operation: one actuator for left / right airflow and one for up / down airflow. This means a car needs at least 12 actuators, leading to increased costs and requiring more space, posing significant challenges to structural design. In many cases, space constraints force the abandonment of electric air vent solutions. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0127] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front", "rear", "lateral", and "vertical" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this invention, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0128] It should be noted that the terms "horizontal" and "vertical" in this invention are used to describe approximate positional relationships, and not strictly "horizontal plane" or "vertical plane".

[0129] It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction in this invention are two opposite rotational directions, wherein when the first direction is clockwise, the second direction is counterclockwise; and when the first direction is counterclockwise, the second direction is clockwise.

[0130] First embodiment:

[0131] Please see Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a first preferred embodiment of an air outlet for a vehicle includes: a transversely arranged guide vane 1, a transverse damper 2, and a vertical blade 3, and a single actuator drive mechanism for driving the guide vane 1, the transverse damper 2, and the vertical blade 3.

[0132] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the single actuator drive mechanism includes: a drive disk 4, which is rotatably arranged and has a first track groove 41 for driving the vertical blades to rotate.

[0133] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the single actuator drive mechanism includes: a driven disk 5, and a drive disk 4 operably connected to or disconnected from the driven disk 5, wherein the driven disk 5 has driven disk teeth 51.

[0134] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the single actuator drive mechanism includes: a drive plate 6, the drive plate 6 having a drive plate rack 61, the driven disk teeth 51 meshing with the drive plate rack 61, the driven disk 5 rotating to drive the drive plate 6 to displacement, wherein the drive disk 6 has a second track groove 62 for driving the guide plate 1 to rotate and a third track groove 63 for driving the transverse damper 2 to rotate.

[0135] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the single actuator drive mechanism includes: a driver, the number of which is one, and the driver drives the drive disk to rotate.

[0136] Preferably, the rotation center of the drive disk 4 coincides with the rotation center of the driven disk 5, that is, the drive disk 4 and the driven disk 5 are arranged coaxially.

[0137] Of course, in other embodiments, the drive disk 4 and the driven disk 5 may also be arranged non-coaxially.

[0138] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the driving disk 4 and the driven disk 5 may also be arranged in the same plane or in nearly the same plane, as long as they can be reversibly operated between being connected and disconnected from the drive connection.

[0139] That is, the driving disk 4 and the driven disk 5 can be connected in one stage of formation and disconnected in another stage of formation.

[0140] In this embodiment, the first driving unit, the second driving unit, and the third driving unit respectively employ a first track groove 41, a second track groove 62, and a third track groove 63. The track grooves can be formed directly on the surface of the driving disk 4 and the surface of the driving plate 6, or they can be formed by creating sidewalls on the surface of the driving disk 4 and the surface of the driving plate 6, and then forming grooves between the sidewalls.

[0141] In other embodiments, the track slot can be replaced with other similar structures capable of implementing track guidance.

[0142] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, when the drive disk 4 drives the vertical blade 3 to rotate, the drive disk 4 disengages from the driven disk 5; when the drive disk 4 and the driven disk 5 are connected in transmission, the vertical blade 3 remains stationary.

[0143] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, when the driven disk 5 drives the guide plate 1 and the transverse damper 2 to rotate, the driving disk 4 is connected to the driven disk 5 in a transmission manner; when the driving disk 4 disengages from the driven disk 5, the guide plate 1 and the transverse damper 2 are stationary.

[0144] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the first track groove 41 includes interconnected segments ab 411, bc 412, and cd 413, wherein segments ab 412 are equidistant from the rotation center of the drive disk 4, segments bc 412 are gradually increased in distance from the rotation center of the drive disk 4, and segments cd 413 are equidistant from the rotation center of the drive disk 4.

[0145] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the second track groove 62 includes a second track groove ef segment 621 and a second track groove fg segment 622 that are interconnected, wherein the second track groove ef segment 621 is arranged at an angle relative to the movement direction of the drive plate 6, and the second track groove fg segment 622 is arranged along the movement direction of the drive plate 6.

[0146] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the third track groove 63 includes a third track groove ef segment 631 and a third track groove fg segment 632 that are interconnected, wherein the third track groove ef segment 631 is arranged at an angle relative to the movement direction of the drive plate 6, and the third track groove fg segment 632 is arranged along the movement direction of the drive plate 6.

[0147] The second track groove ef segment 621 and the third track groove ef segment 631 are both located in the middle of the drive board 6, while the second track groove fg segment 622 and the third track groove fg segment 632 are located near the outer edge of the drive board 6.

[0148] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes: a first drive gear 71, which is fixedly connected to the vertical blade 3.

[0149] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes: a second drive gear 72, which meshes with the first drive gear 71.

[0150] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes: a gear boss 73, which is fixedly connected to the second drive gear 72, and the gear boss 73 is eccentrically arranged relative to the rotation axis of the second drive gear 72, and the gear boss 73 is disposed in the first track groove 41.

[0151] Preferably, the gear boss 73 has a cylindrical structure.

[0152] Specifically, due to this eccentric arrangement, the vertical blade 3 does not rotate when the gear boss 73 is located in the equal diameter ab segment 411 and cd segment 413, and the vertical blade 3 rotates when the gear boss 73 is located in the variable diameter bc segment 412.

[0153] Specifically, when the gear boss 73 is located in the equal diameter ab segment 411 and cd segment 413, the drive disk 4 and the driven disk 5 are connected in transmission; when the gear boss 73 is located in the variable diameter bc segment 412, the drive disk 4 and the driven disk 5 are disengaged.

[0154] More specifically, the driven disc 5 is mainly used to control the movement of the guide plate 1 and the transverse damper 2. When the drive disc 4 is connected to the driven disc 5, power can be transmitted, and the guide plate 1 and the transverse damper 2 move. However, since the gear boss 73 is in the equal diameter part of the first track groove 41 at this time, the transverse damper 2 is stationary.

[0155] When the drive disc 4 disengages from the driven disc 5, power cannot be transmitted, and the guide plate 1 and the transverse damper 2 remain stationary.

[0163] Preferably, the first blade and the second blade are fixedly connected by a second rotating link 34 to achieve synchronous rotation.

[0164] Specifically, the second rotating link 34 is a vertically arranged rod-shaped structure. The upper and lower ends of the second rotating link 34 are fixedly connected to the first blade and the second blade, respectively, and are used to transmit the power of the second blade to the first blade.

[0165] More specifically, through the cooperation of the first rotating link 33 and the second rotating link 34, all the first blades and all the second blades can rotate synchronously.

[0166] Preferably, one of the second blades is an active blade 31, and the remaining second blades and all the first blades are driven blades 32.

[0167] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the drive disk 4 has a counterclockwise rotating drive surface 4a and a clockwise rotating drive surface 4b.

[0168] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the driven disk 5 has a counterclockwise rotating force-bearing surface 5a and a clockwise rotating force-bearing surface 5b.

[0173] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a gap is formed between the sidewalls on both sides of the plate structure 52, and a fan-shaped protrusion 42 is rotatably disposed in the gap, the width of the fan-shaped protrusion 42 being smaller than the width of the gap.

[0174] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the driven disk 5 has a driven disk locking part 53 on its side.

[0175] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes: a locking lever 8, which is translatable relative to the driven disk 5, and the locking lever 8 includes a first locking surface 81 that cooperates with the locking part 53 of the driven disk.

[0176] Specifically, the locking rod 8 is generally rod-shaped, and one end of the locking rod 8 is provided with a block structure 82. The block structure 82 has a surface facing the driven disk 5 and the driving disk 4. The upper part of the surface forms a first locking surface 81, and the lower part of the surface forms the following driving disk counterclockwise rotation unlocking slope 8c.

[0177] More specifically, the first locking surface 81 is arc-shaped, and its shape matches the shape of the side of the driven disk 5.

[0178] More specifically, locking patterns are provided on both the first locking surface 81 and the driven plate locking part 53.

[0179] Preferably, the axis of the locking rod 8 does not pass through the rotation axis of the drive disc 4 and the rotation axis of the driven disc 5.

[0180] Specifically, the locking lever 8 has an arc-shaped clearance portion 83 for avoiding the shaft of the drive disc 4 or the shaft of the driven disc 5.

[0181] More specifically, the width of the arc-shaped clearance portion 83 in the axial direction is greater than the width of the shaft of the drive disc 4 or the shaft of the driven disc 5, so as to allow the locking lever 8 to be displaced in its axial direction.

[0182] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, an elastic element 9 is included, which is connected to the locking rod 8 so that the locking rod 8 has a tendency to move the first locking surface 81 toward the driven disk 5.

[0183] For details, please see Figure 8 As shown, elastic element 9 is a spring.

[0184] More specifically, it includes a fixedly arranged spring fixing member 91, on which a spring positioning post 92 is provided, and the spring is sleeved on the spring positioning post 92.

[0185] More specifically, the locking rod 8 has a locking rod groove, the spring positioning post 92 is inserted into the locking rod groove, the locking rod 8 can slide relative to the spring positioning post 92, and the spring positioning post 92 has a guiding function for the locking rod 8.

[0186] More specifically, one end of the spring abuts against the spring fixing member 91, and the other end of the spring abuts against the locking rod groove.

[0187] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the locking lever 8 also includes a counterclockwise rotating unlocking ramp 8c and a clockwise rotating unlocking ramp 8d.

[0188] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the drive disk 4 has a counterclockwise rotation unlocking mating surface 4c and a clockwise rotation unlocking mating surface 4d.

[0189] Among them, the counterclockwise rotation unlocking inclined surface 8c of the drive disk and the counterclockwise rotation unlocking mating surface 4c of the drive disk are mated.

[0190] Among them, the clockwise rotation unlocking inclined surface 8d of the drive disk and the clockwise rotation unlocking mating surface 4d of the drive disk are mated.

[0191] It should be noted that both the counterclockwise rotation unlocking ramp 8c and the clockwise rotation unlocking ramp 8d of the drive disk are ramps. The ramps refer to their inclination relative to the tangent direction of the outer edge of the driven disk 5, rather than being tangent to the driven disk 5.

[0192] Among them, the counterclockwise rotation unlocking mating surface 4c of the drive disk and the counterclockwise rotation unlocking inclined surface 8c of the drive disk cooperate, so that the first locking surface 81 and the driven disk locking part 53 disengage as the drive disk 4 rotates counterclockwise.

[0193] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the outer edge of the drive disk 4 protrudes outward to form a fan-shaped protrusion 42, and the sidewalls on both sides of the fan-shaped protrusion 42 form a counterclockwise rotating drive surface 4a and a clockwise rotating drive surface 4b.

[0194] Among them, the fan-shaped protrusion 42 protrudes from the driven disk 5, and the counterclockwise rotation driving surface 4a has a chamfered slope, which is the counterclockwise rotation unlocking mating surface 4c.

[0195] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the counterclockwise rotating unlocking ramp 8c of the drive disc is located on one side of the locking rod 8, and the clockwise rotating unlocking ramp 8d of the drive disc is located on the other side of the locking rod 8, and the counterclockwise rotating unlocking ramp 8c and the clockwise rotating unlocking ramp 8d of the drive disc are arranged facing each other.

[0196] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the drive disk 4 extends downward to form an arc-shaped unlocking mating plate 43, which provides an unlocking mating surface 4d for clockwise rotation of the drive disk.

[0197] For details, please see Figure 8 As shown, in Figure 8 In the illustrated case, the first locking surface 81 of the locking lever 8 is engaged with the driven disk locking portion 53 of the driven disk 5 due to the rightward force provided by the elastic member 9, thereby locking the driven disk 5. At this time, the drive disk 4 rotates counterclockwise, and its counterclockwise rotation unlocking mating surface 4c contacts the drive disk counterclockwise rotation unlocking inclined surface 8c and rotates further counterclockwise. As the inclined surface engagement changes the force from the tangential direction to the radial direction, the locking lever 8 moves to the left, the elastic member 9 is compressed, thereby causing the first locking surface 81 to disengage from the driven disk locking portion 53, and the driven disk 5 is unlocked.

[0198] The drive disk 4 rotates further counterclockwise, and the counterclockwise rotating drive surface 4a abuts against the counterclockwise rotating force-bearing surface 5a, pushing the driven disk 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the transmission connection between the two.

[0199] Specifically, the locking rod 8 has a groove 84, which is used to avoid the unlocking mating plate 43. It should be noted that the groove 84 and the unlocking mating plate 43 are misaligned. That is, after the clockwise rotating unlocking mating surface 4d of the driving disc of the unlocking mating plate 43 collides with the clockwise rotating unlocking inclined surface 8d of the driving disc, the unlocking mating plate 43 will enter the groove 83 without affecting the rotation of the driving disc 4 through the guiding relationship of the inclined surface. Furthermore, the locking rod 8 is displaced through the guiding relationship of the inclined surface, thereby unlocking.

[0200] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, one end of the guide plate 1 is provided with a guide plate crank 11, and one end of the transverse damper 2 is provided with a transverse damper crank 21, wherein both the guide plate crank 11 and the transverse damper crank 21 are provided with crank bosses.

[0205] A guide plate 1 is provided inside the flow channel 103.

[0206] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the upper air outlet channel 101 and the lower air outlet channel 102 are each provided with a plurality of vertical blades 3, which rotate clockwise or counterclockwise synchronously.

[0233] The rotation of the drive disc 203 causes the wall of the track groove 2031 to provide force to the gear boss 208, so that the gear boss 208 drives the second drive gear 207 to rotate, thereby driving the first drive gear 206 meshing with it to rotate.

[0234] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, a plurality of vertical blades 202 are included, which rotate synchronously. Specifically, the plurality of vertical blades 202 are all connected to the same connecting rod so that they can rotate synchronously.

[0241] More specifically, the lower end of slider 209 protrudes from groove 2043.

[0242] Preferably, the lower surface of the slider 209 extends downward to form a slider boss 2101, which protrudes from the groove 2043.

[0244] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the slider track groove 210 is configured such that when the driven disk 204 rotates counterclockwise, the slider 209 gradually approaches the rotation center of the driven disk 204.

[0245] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the slider track groove 210 is configured such that when the driven disk 204 rotates clockwise, the slider 209 gradually moves away from the rotation center of the driven disk 204.

[0246] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the drive disk 203 has a counterclockwise rotating drive surface 203a and a clockwise rotating drive surface 203b.

[0247] Preferably, the side of the drive disk 203 protrudes outward to form a fan-shaped protrusion 203x, and the two side walls of the fan-shaped protrusion 203x respectively form a counterclockwise rotation drive surface 203a and a clockwise rotation drive surface 203b.

[0254] It should be noted that the above-mentioned operability specifically refers to the fact that the drive disk 203 can be rotated so that its clockwise rotating drive surface 203b abuts against the clockwise rotating force-bearing surface 209b.

[0255] In other words, the driving disk 203 and the driven disk 204 are arranged coaxially, and the driving disk 203 and the driven disk 204 rotate around the same rotation center.

[0256] When the slider 209 moves away from the rotation center of the driven disk 204 to the first position, the distance from the clockwise rotating force surface 209b to the rotation center is greater than the distance from the clockwise rotating drive surface 203b to the rotation center, so that the clockwise rotating drive surface 203b cannot engage with the clockwise rotating force surface 209b.

[0257] When the slider 209 approaches the rotation center of the driven disk 204 to the second position, the distance from the clockwise rotating force-bearing surface 209b to the rotation center is less than the distance from the clockwise rotating drive surface 203b to the rotation center, so that the clockwise rotating drive surface 203b can engage with the clockwise rotating force-bearing surface 209b.

[0258] The drive disk 203 rotates clockwise further, while the driven disk 204 remains stationary. The drive disk 203 further drives the vertical blades 202 to rotate, causing the vertical blades 202 to overlap each other, thereby closing the air outlet.
