Detailed Implementation

[0047] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0048] like Figure 1-17 As shown, an air conditioning outlet assembly includes: a housing 100 and an airflow regulating mechanism. The housing 100 has a first air duct 110, a second air duct 120, and an air inlet channel 130 inside, and both the first air duct 110 and the second air duct 120 are connected to the air inlet channel 130. The airflow regulating mechanism includes a first air guide 200, a second air guide 300, a first crank 400, a second crank 500, and a turntable 600. The first air guide 200 is rotatably disposed. At the intersection of the first air duct 110 and the air inlet channel 130, the second air guide 300 is rotatably disposed at the intersection of the second air duct 120 and the air inlet channel 130. The opening and closing degree of the first air duct 110 is controlled by the position of the first air guide 200, and the opening and closing degree of the second air duct 120 is controlled by the position of the second air guide 300. The first crank 400 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the first air guide 200, and the second crank 500 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the second air guide 300. The system is configured such that a first crank 400 is connected to a turntable 600, and the turntable 600 can drive the first air guide 200 to rotate via the first crank 400; a second crank 500 is connected to the turntable 600, and the turntable 600 can drive the second air guide 300 to rotate via the second crank 500; the turntable 600 can rotate sequentially to a first position, a second position, and a third position, forming an airflow direction adjustment range between the first and second positions, and a damper closing range between the second and third positions; when the turntable 600 rotates in the airflow direction adjustment range, it drives at least one of the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to rotate to adjust the airflow ratio between the first air duct 110 and the second air duct 120; when the turntable 600 rotates in the damper closing range, it drives the first air guide 200 to rotate to adjust the opening and closing degree of the first air duct 110, while the second air duct 120 is always closed by the second air guide 300.

[0049] When the turntable 600 is in the first position, the turntable 600 causes the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to be in a closed state and a fully open state, respectively; when the turntable 600 is in the second position, the turntable 600 causes the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to be in a fully open state and a closed state, respectively; when the turntable 600 is in the third position, the turntable 600 causes both the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to be in a closed state.

[0050] It should be added that the first crank 400, the second crank 500 and the turntable 600 are all located on the outside of the housing 100. The rotating shaft of the first air guide 200 is hinged to the housing 100 and passes through the housing 100 to connect with the first crank 400. The rotating shaft of the second air guide 300 is hinged to the housing 100 and passes through the housing 100 to connect with the second crank 500.

[0051] The air conditioning vent assembly also includes a drive element 1100, which is connected to and can drive the turntable 600 to rotate; the turntable 600 is rotatably mounted on the outer side wall of the housing 100. The drive element 1100 is preferably a motor or electric motor.

[0052] When the turntable 600 rotates to the first position, the first air guide 200 is in a closed state, thereby closing the first air duct 110, and the second air guide 300 is in a fully open state, thereby fully opening the second air duct 120.

[0053] When the turntable 600 passes the first position and reaches the airflow adjustment range, the turntable 600 is linked with at least one of the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to adjust the airflow of the first air duct 110 and the second air duct 120.

[0054] When the turntable 600 rotates to the second position, the first air guide 200 is in the fully open state, thus fully opening the first air duct 110, and the second air guide 300 is in the closed state, thus closing the second air duct 120.

[0055] When the turntable 600 passes the second position and reaches the damper closing zone, the turntable 600 is only linked with the first air guide 200, and the rotation of the turntable 600 drives the first air guide 200 to rotate, thereby adjusting the air volume of the first air duct 110.

[0056] When the turntable 600 rotates to the third position, both the first air duct 110 and the second air duct 120 are closed.

[0057] The turntable 600 can control the rotation of two air guides, thereby controlling the airflow ratio of the dual air ducts and the opening and closing of the dampers.

[0058] Example 1:

[0059] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the turntable 600 is provided with a rotating shaft 610, the rotating shaft 610 is provided with a first slider 700, the first crank 400 is provided with a first sliding groove 800, and the first slider 700 is connected to the first sliding groove 800.

[0060] The turntable 600 is also provided with a second slide groove 900, and the second crank 500 is provided with a second slider 1000. One end of the second slide groove 900 has an opening for the second slider 1000 to enter and exit the second slide groove 900. When the turntable 600 rotates in the damper closing range, the second slider 1000 is located in the second slide groove 900, thereby locking the second air guide 300 in the closed state.

[0061] The rotating shaft 610 is also provided with a first tooth 620, and the second crank 500 is provided with a second tooth 510; when the turntable 600 rotates in the wind direction adjustment range, the first tooth 620 and the second tooth 510 mesh and drive each other.

[0062] Preferably, the first slide 800 is a V-shaped slide, and the second slide 900 is an arc-shaped slide with the rotating shaft 610 as the center.

[0063] The first slider 700 is slidably disposed within the first slide groove 800, thereby linking the turntable 600 with the first crank 400. When the turntable 600 rotates, it drives the first air guide 200 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise via the first crank 400. The first tooth 620 and the second tooth 510 can achieve an intermittent motion effect. When the turntable 600 rotates within the wind direction adjustment range, in addition to driving the first air guide 200 to move via the first slider 700, the turntable 600 also drives the second air guide 300 to rotate via the first tooth 620 and the second tooth 510, thereby causing the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to move simultaneously. When the turntable 600 rotates in other positions, it does not drive the second air guide 300 to rotate. When the second slider 1000 is located within the second slide groove 900, it can lock the second air guide 300, keeping the second air guide 300 in a closed state.

[0064] The specific adjustment process of Example 1: Taking the turntable 600 in the first position as the initial state, the first air guide 200 is kept in the closed state and the second air guide 300 is in the fully open state. When the turntable 600 rotates towards the second position in the air direction adjustment range, the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 rotate counterclockwise to adjust the airflow ratio. When the turntable 600 rotates to the second position, the first air guide 200 is in the fully open state and the second air guide 300 is in the closed state. When the turntable 600 rotates towards the third position in the damper closing range, the first air guide 200 rotates clockwise and the second air guide 300 remains stationary. When the turntable 600 rotates to the third position, both the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 are in the closed state.

[0065] Example 2:

[0066] like Figure 9-17 As shown, the turntable component 600 is provided with a third slide groove 1200 and a fourth slide groove 1300, the first crank 400 is provided with a third slider 1400, and the second crank 500 is provided with a fourth slider 1500. The third slider 1400 is connected to the third slide groove 1200 and can move along the third slide groove 1200, and the fourth slider 1500 is connected to the fourth slide groove 1300 and can move along the fourth slide groove 1300.

[0067] The shapes of the third slide groove 1200 and the fourth slide groove 1300 are specially designed so that when the turntable 600 rotates to a certain position, the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 can rotate to the corresponding position. Since the third slider 1400 is located in the third slide groove 1200 and the fourth slider 1500 is located in the fourth slide groove 1300, when the turntable 600 rotates, it can force the first air guide 200 to rotate through the third slide groove 1200 and the third slider 1400, and force the second air guide 300 to rotate through the fourth slide groove 1300 and the fourth slider 1500, thereby adjusting the airflow of the first air duct 110 or the second air duct 120 and controlling the opening and closing of the air duct.

[0068] The pivot portion of the first air guide 200 and the pivot portion of the second air guide 300 are both located at one end of the side and are close to the inner walls of both sides of the housing 100. The structure of the first air guide 200 is similar to that of the second air guide 300. Taking the first air guide 200 as an example, the pivot portion of the first air guide 200 is located at one end of its side and is close to the inner top surface of the housing 100. This allows the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to completely fit against the inner wall of the housing 100 when fully open, avoiding obstruction of airflow.

[0069] Unlike Embodiment 1, in Embodiment 2, the turntable 600 can only drive one of the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 to move when rotating in the wind direction adjustment range, and cannot drive both of them to move at the same time.

[0070] The specific adjustment process of Example 2 is as follows: The turntable 600 is initially positioned at the first position, with the first air guide 200 in a closed state and the second air guide 300 fully open. Then, the turntable 600 is driven to rotate towards the second position within the airflow adjustment range, while the second air guide 300 remains stationary. The first air guide 200 gradually opens and rotates to a fully open state, at which point both the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 are fully open. The turntable 600 continues to rotate, the first air guide 200 remains stationary, and the second air guide 300 gradually closes. When the turntable 600 rotates to the second position, the second air guide 300 is in a closed state. The turntable 600 rotates towards the third position within the damper closing range, with the first air guide 200 gradually closing and the second air guide 300 remaining stationary. When the turntable 600 is in the third position, both the first air guide 200 and the second air guide 300 are in a closed state.

[0071] A vehicle is also proposed, including an air conditioning vent assembly as described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0072] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0073] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," "a," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0074] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection" and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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 between two elements, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

[0075] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
