Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to an air vent assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, more and more vehicles are designing their air conditioning vents as concealed vents. To better reflect this concealment, they are generally divided into upper and lower vents, and two motors are used to realize the vertical sweeping of the rear blades and the horizontal sweeping of the front blades respectively. Since the front blades at the upper and lower vents are arranged coaxially, that is, the rotation axis of the blades at the upper and lower vents is located on the same vertical plane, a dual-axis motor is usually set up to realize the rotation of both.

[0003] However, for the air vent structure of some models, due to structural limitations, the front blades of the upper and lower air vents are misaligned in the front-rear direction, which in turn causes the blade shafts of the front blades of the upper and lower air vents to also be misaligned in the front-rear direction. As a result, the dual-axis motor cannot drive the front blades of the upper and lower air vents at the same time. In this case, two motors are usually used on the outside of the housing to control the front blades of the upper and lower air vents respectively. The additional motors not only increase the volume occupied by the air vent, but also increase the manufacturing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Optionally, the first transmission component further includes a first stop, and the housing is further provided with a second stop and a third stop. The first column includes a column body and a fixing plate. The fixing plate is connected to the column body and the first gear ring at both ends in the thickness direction, respectively. The column body and the first gear ring are coaxially arranged. The first stop is fixedly connected to the fixing plate and passes through the first gear ring. The second stop and the third stop are located below the first gear ring and are located on both sides of the rotation path of the first stop.

[0014] Optionally, the housing is further provided with a first limiting block, the third transmission component further includes a second limiting block, the third mounting protrusion is provided with a groove structure, the groove structure is provided with the first limiting block, the inner cavity of the second gear ring is provided with a support plate fixedly connected to the second column, the support plate is located above the second mounting protrusion, the second limiting block is fixedly connected to the support plate and extends into the groove structure, and the first limiting block is located on the rotation path of the second limiting block.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] The air outlet assembly comprises a first air outlet structure, a second air outlet structure, a first drive component, and a transmission component housed within the housing. The first and second air outlet structures are spaced apart in a first direction. The rotation axis of the first blade rotation shaft and the rotation axis of the second blade rotation shaft are parallel to each other in a second direction. The first and second directions intersect, for example, perpendicularly. Thus, the first drive component, such as a drive motor, can simultaneously drive the first and second blade rotation shafts to rotate via the transmission component. When the blade angle of the first and second air outlet structures needs adjustment, the first drive component is activated, and it simultaneously drives the first and second blade rotation shafts to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise via the transmission component, thereby adjusting the airflow direction. Compared to using two motors outside the housing to control the front blades of the upper and lower air outlets, the air outlet assembly of this invention, with the first drive component and transmission component located inside the housing and positioned between the first and second air outlet structures, does not significantly increase the external volume of the air outlet. Furthermore, since no additional motor is required, manufacturing costs are not significantly increased. Attached Figure Description

[0036] It should also be noted that the meanings of the aforementioned Z-axis, X-axis and Y-axis are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the air outlet assembly of this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a first air outlet structure 2, a second air outlet structure 3, a first driving member 4, and a transmission assembly 5 disposed on the housing 1. The first air outlet structure 2 and the second air outlet structure 3 are spaced apart in a first direction. The first air outlet structure 2 includes a first blade rotation shaft 21, and the second air outlet structure 3 includes a second blade rotation shaft 31. The rotation axis of the first blade rotation shaft 21 and the rotation axis of the second blade rotation shaft 31 are parallel to each other, and the first direction and the second direction intersect. The first driving member 4 and the transmission assembly 5 are located inside the housing 1 and disposed between the first air outlet structure 2 and the second air outlet structure 3. The first driving member 4 is used to drive the first blade rotation shaft 21 and the second blade rotation shaft 31 to rotate simultaneously through the transmission assembly 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first direction can be the up-down direction, i.e., as shown below. Figure 1 The direction of the Z-axis; the second direction can be the front-back direction, such as... Figure 1 The direction of the Y-axis.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, the housing 1 has two air outlets, one at the top and one at the bottom. The first air outlet structure 2 is located at the upper air outlet, and the second air outlet structure 3 is located at the lower air outlet. The first blade rotation shaft 21 of the first air outlet structure 2 and the second blade rotation shaft 31 of the second air outlet structure 3 are parallel to each other along the Y-axis, that is, the first blade rotation shaft 21 and the second blade rotation shaft 31 are offset. The first drive member 4 and the transmission assembly 5 are located inside the housing 1 and between the first air outlet structure 2 and the second air outlet structure 3. The first drive member 4 is used to drive the first blade rotation shaft 21 and the second blade rotation shaft 31 through the transmission assembly 5. When it is necessary to adjust the blade angle of the first air outlet structure 2 and the second air outlet structure 3, the first drive member 4 is activated. The first drive member 4 will drive the first blade rotation shaft 21 and the second blade rotation shaft 31 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise through the transmission assembly 5, thereby adjusting the air direction. The air outlet assembly of the present invention uses two motors on the outside of the housing 1 to control the front blades of the upper and lower air outlets respectively. The first drive unit 4 and the transmission assembly 5 are located inside the housing 1 and are arranged between the first air outlet structure 2 and the second air outlet structure 3, so as not to significantly increase the volume occupied outside the air outlet. At the same time, since no additional motor is needed, the manufacturing cost will not be significantly increased.

[0040] In this embodiment, the number of first blade rotating shaft 21 and second blade rotating shaft 31 can be one or more. There is no limitation here; it depends on actual needs. When there are multiple first blade rotating shafts 21 or multiple second blade rotating shafts 31, the multiple first blade rotating shafts 21 and the multiple second blade rotating shafts 31 are connected by a connecting rod.

[0041] Optionally, the first driving component 4 is a drive motor, and the transmission assembly 5 includes a first transmission component 51, a second transmission component 52, and a third transmission component 53. The first transmission component 51 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the first transmission component 51 is connected to the second transmission component 52 and the third transmission component 53 respectively. The first transmission component 51 is used to drive the first blade rotating shaft 21 to rotate through the second transmission component 52, and the first transmission component 51 is also used to drive the second blade rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the third transmission component 53.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first driving component 4 is a drive motor, such as... Figure 1 , 3As shown, the first driving component 4 and the transmission assembly 5 are both disposed inside the housing 1. The transmission assembly 5 includes three parts: a first transmission component 51 and a second transmission component 52 and a third transmission component 53 that are respectively connected to the first transmission component 51. The first transmission component 51 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The first transmission component 51 is used to drive the first blade rotating shaft 21 to rotate through the second transmission component 52. The first transmission component 51 is also used to drive the second blade rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the third transmission component 53.

[0043] Thus, when the first driving member 4 is started, the output end of the first driving member 4 drives the first transmission member 51 to rotate. Since the first transmission member 51 is connected to the second transmission member 52 and the third transmission member 53 respectively, the first transmission member 51 can drive the first blade rotating shaft 21 to rotate through the second transmission member 52, and the second transmission member 52 can drive the second blade rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the third transmission member 53.

[0044] Optionally, the housing 1 is provided with a receiving portion 1221, the first driving member 4 is disposed in the receiving portion 1221, and the first transmission member 51, the second transmission member 52 and the third transmission member 53 are respectively rotatably disposed in the receiving portion 1221.

[0045] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the housing 1 includes a detachably connected upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. The lower housing 12 has a receiving portion 1221 on its end face facing the upper housing 11. The receiving portion 1221 can be considered as a recess formed on the end face of the lower housing 12 facing the upper housing 11 in a direction away from the upper housing 11. The shape of the receiving portion 1221 is not limited; it can be a standard square, circle, or ellipse, or it can be other irregular shapes. Multiple support columns are provided in the receiving portion 1221. The first driving member 4 is supported on the support columns and connected by screws. The first transmission member 51 and the second transmission member 52 are located below the first driving member 4 and rotatably disposed in the receiving portion 1221. The third transmission member 53 is located on one side of the first driving member 4 and rotatably disposed in the receiving portion 1221.

[0046] Thus, when installing the first drive component 4, the first transmission component 51, the second transmission component 52, and the third transmission component 53, the first transmission component 51, the second transmission component 52, and the third transmission component 53 are first installed on the lower housing 12, and then the first drive component 4 is placed on the support column of the receiving part 1221 and connected by screws. At this time, the first transmission component 51 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive component 4. In this way, after the first drive component 4, the first transmission component 51, the second transmission component 52, and the third transmission component 53 are built into the receiving part 1221, they not only do not occupy the space outside the housing 1, but also play a role in protecting the first drive component 4, the first transmission component 51, the second transmission component 52, and the third transmission component 53.

[0047] Furthermore, the upper housing 11 includes a first housing 111 and a second housing 112, which are detachably connected. A first air outlet 113 is formed between the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, and a first air outlet structure 2 is disposed between the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 and located at the first air outlet 113. This facilitates quick and easy installation and removal of the first air outlet structure 2.

[0048] Furthermore, the lower housing 12 includes a third housing 121 and a fourth housing 122, which are detachably connected. A second air outlet 123 is formed between the third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122. A second air outlet structure 3 is disposed between the third housing 121 and the fourth housing 122 and located at the first air outlet 113. The end face of the third housing 121 facing the second housing 112 is provided with a receiving portion 1221. This facilitates quick and easy installation and removal of the second air outlet structure 3.

[0049] Optionally, the first transmission member 51 engages with the second transmission member 52 and the third transmission member 53 for transmission. Thus, when the first driving member 4 drives the first transmission member 51, the first transmission member 51 can stably transmit force to the second transmission member 52 and the third transmission member 53 through the engaging teeth.

[0050] Optionally, the housing 1 is provided with a first mounting protrusion 1222, and the first transmission component 51 includes a first gear ring 512 and a first column 511 arranged coaxially. One end of the first column 511 connected to the first gear ring 512 is rotatably connected to the first mounting protrusion 1222, and the other end of the first column 511 away from the first gear ring 512 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor and arranged coaxially.

[0051] And / or, the housing 1 is provided with a second mounting protrusion 1223, and the second transmission member 52 includes a first gear 522 and a second column 521 coaxially arranged. The first gear 522 and / or the second column 521 are rotatably connected to the second mounting protrusion 1223. The end of the second column 521 away from the first gear 522 is fixedly connected to the first blade rotation shaft 21 and coaxially arranged.

[0052] And / or, the housing 1 is provided with a third mounting protrusion 1224, and the third transmission component 53 includes a second gear ring 532 and a third column 531 arranged coaxially. One end of the third column 531 passes through the third mounting protrusion 1224 and is fixedly connected to the second blade rotation shaft 31. The third column 531 is coaxially arranged with the second blade rotation shaft 31, and the first gear ring 512 meshes with the first gear 522 and the second gear ring 532 respectively.

[0053] In one implementation, such as Figure 10As shown, the housing 1's accommodating portion 1221 is provided with a first mounting protrusion 1222, a second mounting protrusion 1223, and a third mounting protrusion 1224 spaced apart, as follows: Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the first transmission component 51 includes a first gear ring 512 and a first column 511. The lower end of the first column 511 is fixedly connected to and coaxially arranged with the first gear ring 512. One end of the first column 511 connected to the first gear ring 512 is rotatably connected to the first mounting protrusion 1222. The end of the first column 511 away from the first gear ring 512 is fixedly connected to and coaxially arranged with the output end of the drive motor. Figure 6 , 8 As shown, the second transmission component 52 includes a first gear 522 and a second column 521 coaxially arranged. The first gear 522 and the second column 521 are rotatably connected to the second mounting protrusion 1223. The end of the second column 521 away from the first gear 522 is fixedly connected to and coaxially arranged with the first blade rotation shaft 21. Figure 6 , 9 As shown, the third transmission component 53 includes a second gear ring 532 and a third column 531 arranged coaxially. The upper end of the third column 531 is fixedly connected to the second gear ring 532 and arranged coaxially. The lower end of the second gear ring 532 is rotatably connected to the third mounting protrusion 1224. The third column 531 passes through the third mounting protrusion 1224 and is fixedly connected to the second blade rotation shaft 31. The first gear ring 512 meshes with the first gear 522 and the second gear ring 532 for transmission.

[0054] Thus, when assembling the first mounting protrusion 1222, the second mounting protrusion 1223, and the third mounting protrusion 1224, the end of the first column 511 connected to the first gear ring 512 is first sleeved onto the first mounting protrusion 1222. Then, the second gear and the second column 521 are sleeved onto the second mounting protrusion 1223. Finally, the third column 531 is passed through the third mounting protrusion 1224 and fixedly connected to the second blade rotating shaft 31, and the second gear ring 532 is rotatably connected to the third mounting protrusion 1224. At this time, the first gear ring 512 meshes with the first gear 522 and the second gear ring 532 respectively. In this way, it is not only convenient to quickly assemble the first transmission component 51, the second transmission component 52, and the third transmission component 53, but also the probability of the first transmission component 51, the second transmission component 52, and the third transmission component 53 being misaligned is reduced due to the restriction of the first mounting protrusion 1222, the second mounting protrusion 1223, and the third mounting protrusion 1224.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first column 511 is connected to the output end of the electric drive component by a plug-in connection. The cross-sectional shape of the connection point is non-circular, such as elliptical, cross-shaped, or straight, so that there is no relative rotation between them. Similarly, the second column 521 and the first blade rotation shaft 21, and the third column 531 and the second blade rotation shaft 31 can also be connected in the same way as the first column 511 and the output end of the electric drive component.

[0056] Optionally, the first transmission component 51 further includes a first stop 513, and the housing 1 is also provided with a second stop 1225 and a third stop 1226. The first column 511 includes a column body 5111 and a fixing plate 5112. The fixing plate 5112 is connected to the column body 5111 and the first gear ring 512 at both ends in the thickness direction, respectively. The column body 5111 and the first gear ring 512 are coaxially arranged. The first stop 513 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 5112 and passes through the first gear ring 512. The second stop 1225 and the third stop 1226 are located below the first gear ring 512 and are located on both sides of the rotation path of the first stop 513, respectively.

[0057] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the column body 5111, the fixing plate 5112, and the first gear ring 512 are integrally formed. The fixing plate 5112 is connected to the column body 5111 and the first gear ring 512 at both ends in the Y-axis direction, respectively. The column body 5111 and the first gear ring 512 are coaxially arranged. The fixing plate 5112 is provided with a first stop 513 passing through the first gear ring 512; Figure 10 As shown, the housing 1's accommodating portion 1221 is also provided with a second stop 1225 and a third stop 1226. The second stop 1225 and the third stop 1226 are located below the second gear ring 532 and within the same circumference. The second stop 1225 and the third stop 1226 are respectively located on the rotation path of the first stop 513.

[0058] Thus, when the first transmission member 51 rotates, the first stop 513 rotates to a position where it contacts the second stop 1225 or the third stop 1226. The second stop 1225 and the third stop 1226 can restrict the movement of the first stop 513, thereby limiting the range of movement of the first transmission member 51 to between the second stop 1225 and the third stop 1226.

[0059] Optionally, the housing 1 is further provided with a first limiting block 1227, and the third transmission component 53 is further provided with a second limiting block 534. The third mounting protrusion 1224 is provided with a groove structure 12241, in which the first limiting block 1227 is provided. The inner cavity of the second gear ring 532 is provided with a support plate 533 fixedly connected to the second column 521. The support plate 533 is located above the second mounting protrusion 1223. The second limiting block 534 is fixedly connected to the support plate 533 and extends into the groove structure 12241. The first limiting block 1227 is located on the rotation path of the second limiting block 534.

[0060] Thus, when the second gear ring 532 rotates, the second limiting block 534 rotates to a position where it contacts the first limiting block 1227, and the first limiting block 1227 can restrict the second gear ring 532 from continuing to rotate.

[0061] Optionally, the housing 1 is further provided with a third limiting block 1228. The third limiting block 1228 includes a first block 12281 and a second block 12282 connected at an angle to each other. The first block 12281 is connected to the third mounting protrusion 1224. The support plate 533 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 5331 that passes through the axial direction of the second gear ring 532. The arc-shaped groove 5331 is concentric with the second gear ring 532. One end of the arc-shaped groove 5331 is provided with an opening 5332 for the second block 12282 to pass through. The first block 12281 is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped groove 5331, and part of the second block 12282 is located outside the contour range of the arc-shaped groove 5331.

[0062] In this embodiment, the housing 1's accommodating portion 1221 is further provided with a third limiting block 1228. The third limiting block 1228 is L-shaped, and this L-shape can be a standard L-shape or slightly modified. Figure 11 As shown, the first block 12281 and the third mounting protrusion 1224 are integrated into one piece, and the second block 12282 is located above the third mounting protrusion 1224. The support plate 533 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 5331 that runs through the Y-axis. The arc-shaped groove 5331 is concentric with the second gear ring 532. One end of the arc-shaped groove 5331 is provided with an opening 5332 for the second block 12282 to pass through. The first block 12281 is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped groove 5331, and part of the second block 12282 is located within the contour range of the arc-shaped groove 5331.

[0063] In this way, when installing the second gear ring 532, the blades of the second air outlet structure 3 are first opened to the maximum angle, then the opening 5332 of the arc groove 5331 is aligned with the second block 12282, and then the second gear ring 532 is placed downwards until the third column 531 is fixedly connected to the second blade rotation shaft 31. Finally, the blades of the second air outlet structure 3 are retracted to the closed state. At this time, the second block 12282 is located at the end of the arc groove 5331 away from the opening 5332. In this way, when adjusting the angle of the blades of the second air outlet structure 3 in the future, the second limiting block 534 can effectively prevent the third limiting member from disengaging from the receiving part 1221 of the housing 1.

[0064] Optionally, the air outlet assembly also includes a second drive member 7 and an upper and lower air sweeping plate 6. The housing 1 is provided with an air inlet, the upper and lower air sweeping plate 6 is disposed at the air inlet, and the second drive member 7 is disposed on the housing 1. The second drive member 7 is used to drive the upper and lower air sweeping plate 6 to rotate.

[0065] In this embodiment, the front end of the housing 1 is provided with a first air outlet 113 and a second air outlet 123, and the rear end of the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet. Specifically, the rear ends of the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are both provided with U-shaped structures. After the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 are assembled, the U-shaped structures of the first housing 111 and the second housing 112 enclose and form an air inlet that communicates with the first air outlet 113 and the second air outlet 123. The upper and lower sweeping blades 6 are rotatably mounted on the U-shaped structure of the second housing 112 via a rotating shaft. The second driving component 7 is a drive motor, which is fixedly connected to the second housing 112, and the output end of the second driving component 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the upper and lower sweeping blades 6 via a coupling. Thus, when upper and lower sweeping is required, the second driving component 7 is activated, and the second driving component 7 can drive the upper and lower sweeping blades to rotate.

[0066] In other embodiments, the second drive member 7 and the upper and lower air sweeping plates 6 may also be disposed in the first housing 111. This is not a limitation and depends on the actual needs.

[0067] Optionally, the air outlet assembly also includes a voice control device, which is electrically connected to the first drive unit 4 and is used to control the operation of the first drive unit 4 according to the user's voice.

[0068] In one embodiment, the voice control device is a separate component comprising a microphone and a controller. The controller is electrically connected to both the microphone and the first drive unit 4. The microphone transmits sound information to the controller, which then drives the first drive unit 4 to operate based on the voice information. For example, when the microphone receives the voice information "left and right sweeping," the controller sends an activation command to the first drive unit 4, causing the first drive unit 4 to operate and thereby drive the first blade rotation shaft 21 and the second blade rotation shaft 31 to rotate via the transmission assembly 5. When the microphone receives the voice information "stop left and right sweeping," the controller sends a deactivation command to the first drive unit 4, causing the first drive unit 4 to rotate until the upper and lower air outlets close, respectively.

[0069] It should be understood that existing vehicle terminals have built-in voice control functions. The voice control device in this embodiment can be a module built into the vehicle terminal. By adding control commands and adding output ports, voice control of the air vent components can be achieved.

[0070] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a vehicle including the air vent assembly described above.

[0071] The vehicle in this embodiment has the same beneficial effects as the air outlet assembly described above compared to the prior art, so it will not be described again here.
