Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning vents, specifically to vent assemblies and vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Car air conditioning is an important part of a car. To meet the airflow requirements of drivers or passengers of different heights, body types, and habits, the air vent assembly of the car air conditioning can adjust the airflow direction.

[0003] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of an existing air outlet assembly, which includes an outer shell 1, an inner shell assembly 2, a first air guide plate 41, and a second air guide plate 42. The inner shell assembly 2 is located in the outer shell 1 and separates the air duct space inside the outer shell 1. The air duct space includes a first air outlet channel 12, a second air outlet channel 13, and an air inlet channel 11. The two air guide plates are always arranged in parallel. When the two air guide plates are in their extreme working positions, one of the air guide plates will close the corresponding side air outlet channel. The air entering through the air inlet channel 11 flows into the unclosed air outlet channel through the space between the two air guide plates.

[0004] The design of the aforementioned air guide plate means that, at the extreme working position, the air guide plate that does not block the air outlet passage will significantly obstruct the airflow, affecting the air outlet effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes an air outlet assembly and a vehicle.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0007] An air outlet assembly includes an outer shell, an inner shell assembly, a transmission mechanism, and a first airflow direction adjustment mechanism;

[0008] The inner shell assembly is disposed in the outer shell and separates the air duct space inside the outer shell. The air duct space includes a first air outlet channel, a second air outlet channel, and an air inlet channel.

[0009] The first airflow adjustment mechanism includes two air guide plates that are movably disposed within the outer casing. The two air guide plates are the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate, respectively. The opening and closing degree of the first air outlet channel and the second air outlet channel are adjusted according to the positions of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate.

[0010] The transmission mechanism is used to simultaneously drive the movement of two air guide plates and control the position of the two air guide plates. The transmission mechanism has a first limit working position and a second limit working position.

[0011] When the transmission mechanism is in the first extreme working position, the first air guide plate closes the first air outlet channel, the second air guide plate is inclined in the same direction as the first air guide plate, and the acute angle between the second air guide plate and the air inlet channel is smaller than the acute angle between the first air guide plate and the air inlet channel.

[0012] When the transmission mechanism is in the second extreme working position, the second air guide plate closes the second air outlet channel. The first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are inclined in the same direction, and the acute angle between the first air guide plate and the air inlet channel is smaller than the acute angle between the second air guide plate and the air inlet channel.

[0013] When the air outlet assembly of this application has only one air outlet channel (first limit working position and second limit working position), the two air guide plates form a flared structure at the end near the air inlet of the air inlet channel. Compared with the two air guide plates being set in parallel, this form can effectively reduce the obstruction of air by the air guide plates that are not closed to the air outlet channel, and the air outlet assembly of this application has a better air outlet effect.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotation axis of the air guide plate is eccentrically arranged, and the air guide plate has a long part and a short part located on both sides of the rotation axis of the air guide plate, and the short part is adjacent to the corresponding air outlet channel.

[0015] When the transmission mechanism is in the first extreme working position, the short part of the first air guide plate is in contact with or clearance fits the inner shell assembly, and the long part of the first air guide plate is in contact with or clearance fits the inner sidewall of the outer shell.

[0016] When the transmission mechanism is in the second extreme working position, the short part of the second air guide plate is in contact with or clearance fits the inner shell assembly, and the long part of the second air guide plate is in contact with or clearance fits the inner sidewall of the outer shell.

[0017] The rotation axis of the air guide plate is not set in the exact center and the short part is adjacent to the corresponding air outlet channel. This setting makes the rotation axis of the air guide plate closer to the air outlet of the air outlet channel, and the overall length of the transmission mechanism can be set to be shorter.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the average thickness of the short portion is greater than the average thickness of the long portion, or the weight of the short portion is greater than the weight of the long portion.

[0019] This design allows the center of gravity of the air guide plate to be as close as possible to its rotation axis, ensuring that the rotation axis of the air guide plate is subjected to reasonable forces and guaranteeing structural reliability and stability.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the center of gravity of the air guide plate is located on the rotation axis of the air guide plate.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission mechanism includes:

[0022] A rotating component, rotatably mounted on an outer shell or inner shell assembly, capable of rotating about an axis;

[0023] A first crank is disposed outside the outer casing and fixed on the shaft of the first air guide plate, and the first crank has a first connecting part;

[0024] The first connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the rotating component at one end and rotatably mounted on the first connecting part of the first crank at the other end.

[0025] A second crank, disposed outside the outer casing and fixed to the shaft of the second air guide plate, the second crank having a second connecting portion; and

[0026] The second connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the rotating component at one end and rotatably mounted on the second connecting part of the second crank at the other end.

[0027] The first connecting part is located on the side opposite to the second crank, and the second connecting part is located on the side opposite to the first crank. The rotating member has a first part biased towards the first air outlet channel and a second part biased towards the second air outlet channel. The first part and the second part are symmetrically arranged. The first connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the first part, and the second connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the second part.

[0028] The transmission mechanism is configured such that, in the first extreme working position, the second air guide plate and the first air guide plate are inclined in the same direction, and the acute angle between the second air guide plate and the air inlet channel is smaller than the acute angle between the first air guide plate and the air inlet channel (the rotation angle of the first air guide plate is greater than the rotation angle of the second air guide plate). In the second extreme working position, the second air guide plate closes the second air outlet channel, and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate are inclined in the same direction, and the acute angle between the first air guide plate and the air inlet channel is smaller than the acute angle between the second air guide plate and the air inlet channel (the rotation angle of the second air guide plate is greater than the rotation angle of the first air guide plate).

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet assembly further includes a control component movably disposed on the outer shell or inner shell assembly. The control component cooperates with the rotating component and is used to drive the rotating component to rotate, thereby enabling the transmission mechanism to switch between different working positions.

[0030] In practical applications, the control component can be rotatably mounted on the outer shell or inner shell assembly. In this case, the control component can cooperate with the rotating component through a lever that is fixedly connected to the control component. When the control component rotates, the lever drives the rotating component to rotate. Alternatively, the control component can be slidably mounted on the outer shell or inner shell assembly, and the rotating component can be driven to rotate by sliding the control component.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the control member is slidably disposed on the outer shell or inner shell assembly, the control member is capable of reciprocating along the X direction and the Y direction, the X direction being perpendicular to the Y direction, and the control member having a pressure-applying part;

[0032] The air outlet assembly also includes a second airflow adjustment mechanism, which includes a linkage, a driven component, and multiple guide vanes.

[0033] The guide vane includes a mounting shaft, a protrusion on the mounting shaft, and blades at both ends of the mounting shaft.

[0034] The mounting shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner shell assembly. The rotation axis of the mounting shaft is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating component. Both ends of the mounting shaft protrude from the inner shell assembly and are located in the first air outlet channel and the second air outlet channel, respectively. The blades are fixed to the portions of the mounting shaft located in the first air outlet channel and the second air outlet channel. The blades are used to adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet channel and the second air outlet channel. The linkage component rotates in cooperation with each protrusion and is used to make each guide vane rotate synchronously. The driven component is mounted on the mounting shaft. The pressure application part of the control component cooperates with the driven component and is used to drive the guide vane to rotate through the driven component.

[0035] When the control component slides along the X direction, it can drive the guide vane to rotate, but does not drive the rotating component to rotate.

[0036] When the control component slides along the Y direction, it can drive the rotating component to rotate, but does not drive the guide fan blade to rotate.

[0037] In this application, the linkage can be fixed to the mounting shaft (which can be a single piece) or it can be a part that is hinged to multiple mounting shafts at the same time.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet assembly further includes a movable seat slidably disposed on the inner shell assembly, the movable seat being slidable along the Y direction, the movable seat having a sliding hole with the axis of the sliding hole being the same as the X direction, and the control member having a sliding rod extending into the sliding hole.

[0039] This configuration allows the control component to slide back and forth along the X and Y directions.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner shell assembly includes a body, a channel opening and closing mechanism, and a switching mechanism, wherein the channel opening and closing mechanism is used to adjust the air volume.

[0041] The channel opening and closing mechanism includes two damper components, which are rotatably mounted on the main body. The two damper components are a first damper component and a second damper component. The channel opening and closing mechanism has a retracted working position and an extended working position. When the channel opening and closing mechanism is in the retracted working position, the first damper component serves as part of the side wall of the first air outlet channel, and the second damper component serves as part of the side wall of the second air outlet channel. When the channel opening and closing mechanism is in the extended working position, the first damper component and the second damper component respectively contact or gap fit with the inner side wall of the outer shell, and the two damper components close the air inlet channel.

[0042] The first damper and the air intake direction of the air intake channel always form an acute angle, and the second damper and the air intake direction of the air intake channel always form an acute angle.

[0043] The switching mechanism is used to drive the two damper components to move, so that the channel opening and closing mechanism switches between the retracted working position and the extended working position. The switching mechanism includes:

[0044] The switching component is rotatably mounted on the main body, and the switching component has a first joint and a second joint that are eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the switching component;

[0045] The first connecting member has one end hinged to the first connecting portion and the other end hinged to the first damper member; and

[0046] The second connector has one end hinged to the second joint and the other end hinged to the second damper.

[0047] In the prior art, damper components have a single function, used only to close the air intake channel. The two damper components of this application can both serve as windbreaks to close the air intake channel and can also be used as part of the side wall of the air outlet channel when not blocking the wind. This arrangement of the present application makes the structure more compact.

[0048] In practical applications, to make the structure compact, preferably, the rotation axes of the two damper components coincide, with one damper component rotatably mounted on the other baffle plate and the other damper component rotatably mounted on the main body.

[0049] In practical applications, to achieve better airflow guidance, it is preferable that the damper is arc-shaped, and when the channel opening and closing mechanism is in the retracted working position, the two dampers near the air inlet channel form a pointed airflow guiding structure.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet assembly further includes a toggle switch and a first transmission component and a second transmission component;

[0051] One end of the knob is the operating end, and the other end is the connecting end. The knob has a spherical part in the middle, and the knob is hinged to the body through the spherical part.

[0052] One end of the first transmission member is connected to the switching member and forms a universal joint structure. The other end of the first transmission member is connected to one end of the second transmission member and forms a universal joint structure. The other end of the second transmission member is connected to the connection end of the toggle switch and forms a universal joint structure. The universal joint structure formed by the connection end of the second transmission member and the toggle switch is located on the control member.

[0053] The knob can be moved along the X direction, along the Y direction, and rotated around its own axis. When the knob is moved along the X direction, it can drive the control component to move along the X direction. When the knob is moved along the Y direction, it can drive the control component to move along the Y direction. When the knob rotates around its own axis, it can drive the second transmission component, the first transmission component, and the switching component to rotate.

[0054] The term "middle" in this application is not limited to the exact center.

[0055] This application also discloses a vehicle including the air vent assembly described above.

[0056] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: When the air outlet assembly of the present application has only one air outlet channel (first limit working position and second limit working position), the two air guide plates form a flared structure at the end near the air inlet of the air inlet channel. Compared with the two air guide plates being arranged in parallel, this form can effectively reduce the obstruction effect of the air guide plates on the air in the unclosed air outlet channel, and the air outlet assembly of the present application has a better air outlet effect.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0081] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a vehicle including an air vent assembly 100.

[0083] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the air outlet assembly 100 of this embodiment includes an outer shell 1 and an inner shell assembly 2. The inner shell assembly 2 is disposed in the outer shell 1 and separates the air duct space inside the outer shell 1. The air duct space includes a first air outlet channel 12, a second air outlet channel 13 and an air inlet channel 11.

[0084] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in 7, 8 and 9, the air outlet assembly 100 of this embodiment also includes a transmission mechanism 3 and a first airflow direction adjustment mechanism;

[0085] The first airflow adjustment mechanism includes two air guide plates that are movably disposed on the outer shell 1. The two air guide plates are the first air guide plate 41 and the second air guide plate 42. The opening and closing degree of the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13 are adjusted according to the positions of the first air guide plate 41 and the second air guide plate 42, respectively.

[0086] The transmission mechanism 3 is used to simultaneously drive the movement of two air guide plates and control the position of the two air guide plates. The transmission mechanism has a first limit working position and a second limit working position.

[0087] When the transmission mechanism 3 is in the first extreme working position, the first air guide plate 41 closes the first air outlet channel 12, the second air guide plate 42 is inclined in the same direction as the first air guide plate 41, and the acute angle between the second air guide plate 42 and the air inlet channel 11 is smaller than the acute angle between the first air guide plate 41 and the air inlet channel 11.

[0088] When the transmission mechanism 3 is in the second limit working position, the second air guide plate 42 closes the second air outlet channel 13. The first air guide plate 41 and the second air guide plate 42 are inclined in the same direction, and the acute angle between the first air guide plate 41 and the air inlet direction a of the air inlet channel 11 is smaller than the acute angle between the second air guide plate 42 and the air inlet direction a of the air inlet channel 11.

[0089] When the air outlet assembly 100 of this application has only one air outlet channel (first limit working position and second limit working position), the two air guide plates form a flared structure at the end near the air inlet of the air inlet channel 11. Compared with the two air guide plates being set in parallel, this form can effectively reduce the obstruction of air by the air guide plates that are not closed to the air outlet channel, and the air outlet assembly 100 of this application has a better air outlet effect.

[0090] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, when the transmission mechanism 3 is in the first extreme working position, the space between the second air guide plate 42 and the outer shell 1 is connected to the second air outlet channel 13, and the space between the second air guide plate 42 and the first air guide plate 41 is connected to the second air outlet channel 13.

[0091] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, when the transmission mechanism 3 is in the second extreme working position, the space between the first air guide plate 41 and the outer shell 1 is connected to the first air outlet channel 12, and the space between the first air guide plate 41 and the second air guide plate 42 is connected to the first air outlet channel 12.

[0092] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission mechanism 3 also has an initial working position; when the transmission mechanism 3 is in the initial working position, the first air guide plate 41 does not obstruct air from entering the first air outlet channel 12, the second air guide plate 42 does not obstruct air from entering the second air outlet channel 13, and the space between the first air guide plate 41 and the second air guide plate 42 is simultaneously connected to the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13.

[0093] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, in this embodiment, the rotation axis of the air guide plate is eccentrically set, and the air guide plate has a long part 4a and a short part 4b located on both sides of the rotation axis of the air guide plate, with the short part 4b adjacent to the corresponding air outlet channel.

[0094] When the transmission mechanism 3 is in the first extreme working position, the short part 4b of the first air guide plate 41 is in contact with or in clearance with the inner shell assembly 2, and the long part 4a of the first air guide plate 41 is in contact with or in clearance with the inner side wall of the outer shell 1.

[0095] When the transmission mechanism 3 is in the second limit working position, the short part 4b of the second air guide plate 42 is in contact with or clearance fits the inner shell assembly 2, and the long part 4a of the second air guide plate 42 is in contact with or clearance fits the inner sidewall of the outer shell 1.

[0096] The rotation axis of the air guide plate is not set in the exact center and the short part 4b is adjacent to the corresponding air outlet channel. This arrangement makes the rotation axis of the air guide plate closer to the air outlet of the air outlet channel, and the overall length of the transmission mechanism 3 can be set to be shorter.

[0097] In this embodiment, the average thickness of the short portion 4b is greater than the average thickness of the long portion 4a, or the weight of the short portion 4b is greater than the weight of the long portion 4a.

[0098] This design allows the center of gravity of the air guide plate to be as close as possible to its rotation axis, ensuring that the rotation axis of the air guide plate is subjected to reasonable forces and guaranteeing structural reliability and stability.

[0099] More preferably, the center of gravity of the air guide plate is located on the rotation axis of the air guide plate.

[0100] like Figure 8 and 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 3 includes:

[0101] Rotating component 31 is rotatably mounted on outer shell 1 or inner shell assembly 2 and is capable of rotating about an axis;

[0102] The first crank 32 is located outside the outer casing 1 and fixed on the shaft of the first air guide plate 41. The first crank 32 has a first connecting part 321.

[0103] The first connecting rod 33 is rotatably mounted on the rotating part 31 at one end and rotatably mounted on the first connecting part 321 of the first crank 32 at the other end;

[0104] The second crank 34 is disposed outside the outer casing 1 and fixed to the shaft of the second air guide plate 42. The second crank 34 has a second connecting portion 341; and

[0105] The second connecting rod 35 is rotatably mounted on the rotating part 31 at one end and rotatably mounted on the second connecting part 341 of the second crank 34 at the other end;

[0106] The first connecting part 321 is located on the side opposite to the second crank 34, and the second connecting part 341 is located on the side opposite to the first crank 32. The rotating part 31 has a first part 311 biased towards the first air outlet 12 and a second part 312 biased towards the second air outlet 13. The first part 311 and the second part 312 are symmetrically arranged. The first connecting rod 33 is rotatably mounted on the first part 311, and the second connecting rod 35 is rotatably mounted on the second part 312.

[0107] The transmission mechanism 3 is configured such that, in the first extreme working position, the second air guide plate 42 and the first air guide plate 41 are inclined in the same direction, and the acute angle formed by the second air guide plate 42 and the air inlet channel 11 is smaller than the acute angle formed by the first air guide plate 41 and the air inlet channel 11 (the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 41 is greater than the rotation angle of the second air guide plate 42); and in the second extreme working position, the second air guide plate 42 closes the second air outlet channel 13, the first air guide plate 41 and the second air guide plate 42 are inclined in the same direction, and the acute angle formed by the first air guide plate 41 and the air inlet channel 11 is smaller than the acute angle formed by the second air guide plate 42 and the air inlet channel 11 (the rotation angle of the second air guide plate 42 is greater than the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 41). Its main principle is to utilize the difference in displacement of the first part 311 and the second part 312 in the air intake direction caused by the circumferential rotation of the rotating part 31. The difference in displacement of the first part 311 and the second part 312 in the air intake direction is transmitted to the first crank 32 and the second crank 34 through the first connecting rod 33 and the second connecting rod 35, respectively, which in turn leads to the difference in the rotation angle of the first crank 32 and the second crank 34.

[0108] like Figure 8 and 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the air outlet assembly 100 also includes a control component 51 movably disposed on the outer shell 1 or the inner shell assembly 2. The control component 51 cooperates with the rotating component 31 and is used to drive the rotating component 31 to rotate, so that the transmission mechanism 3 switches between different working positions.

[0109] In practical applications, the control component 51 can be rotatably mounted on the outer shell 1 or the inner shell assembly 2. In this case, the control component 51 can cooperate with the rotating component 31 through a lever fixedly connected to the control component 51. When the control component 51 rotates, the lever drives the rotating component 31 to rotate. In addition, the control component 51 can also be slidably mounted on the outer shell 1 or the inner shell assembly 2. The rotating component 31 can be driven to rotate by the sliding of the control component 51.

[0110] like Figures 5 to 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the control member 51 is slidably disposed on the outer shell 1 or the inner shell assembly 2. The control member 51 can slide back and forth along the X direction and the Y direction. The X direction is perpendicular to the Y direction. The control member 51 has a pressure application part 511.

[0111] The air outlet assembly 100 also includes a second airflow adjustment mechanism, which includes a linkage 61, a driven component 62, and multiple guide vanes 63.

[0112] The guide vane 63 includes a mounting shaft 631, a protrusion 632 located on the mounting shaft 631, and blades 633 provided at both ends of the mounting shaft 631.

[0113] The mounting shaft 631 is rotatably mounted on the inner shell assembly 2. The rotation axis of the mounting shaft 631 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating component 31. Both ends of the mounting shaft 631 protrude from the inner shell assembly 2 and are located in the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13, respectively. Blades 633 are fixed on the parts of the mounting shaft 631 located in the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13. The blades 633 are used to adjust the air outlet direction of the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13. The linkage component 61 rotates with each protrusion. The linkage component 61 is used to make each guide vane 63 rotate synchronously. The driven component 62 is mounted on the mounting shaft 631. The pressure part 511 of the control component 51 cooperates with the driven component 62 and is used to drive the guide vane 63 to rotate through the driven component 62.

[0114] When the control component 51 slides along the X direction, it can drive the guide vane 63 to rotate, but does not drive the rotating component 31 to rotate.

[0115] When the control component 51 slides along the Y direction, it can drive the rotating component 31 to rotate, but does not drive the guide fan 63 to rotate.

[0116] In this application, the linkage 61 can be fixed to the mounting shaft 631 (which can be a single piece) or it can be a part that is hinged to multiple mounting shafts 631 at the same time.

[0117] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the air outlet assembly 100 further includes a movable seat 52 slidably disposed on the inner shell assembly 2. The movable seat 52 is slidable along the Y direction. The movable seat 52 has a sliding hole 521. The axis of the sliding hole 521 is the same as that of the X direction. The control member 51 has a sliding rod 512 extending into the sliding hole 521.

[0118] This configuration allows the control component 51 to slide back and forth along the X and Y directions.

[0119] like Figures 16 to 19 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner shell assembly 2 includes a body 21, a channel opening and closing mechanism, and a switching mechanism 23. The channel opening and closing mechanism is used to adjust the air volume.

[0120] The channel opening and closing mechanism includes two damper components, which are rotatably mounted on the main body 21. The two damper components are a first damper component 221 and a second damper component 222. The channel opening and closing mechanism has a retracted working position and an extended working position. When the channel opening and closing mechanism is in the retracted working position, the first damper component 221 serves as part of the side wall of the first air outlet channel 12, and the second damper component 222 serves as part of the side wall of the second air outlet channel 13. When the channel opening and closing mechanism is in the extended working position, the first damper component 221 and the second damper component 222 respectively contact or gap fit with the inner side wall of the outer shell 1, and the two damper components close the air inlet channel 11.

[0121] The first damper 221 and the air inlet channel 11 always form an acute angle with the air inlet direction, and the second damper 222 and the air inlet channel 11 always form an acute angle with the air inlet direction.

[0122] In the prior art, damper components have a single function, used only to close the air inlet channel 11. The two damper components of this application can both be used to block the wind and close the air inlet channel 11, and can also be used as part of the side wall of the air outlet channel when not blocking the wind. This arrangement of the present application makes the structure more compact.

[0123] In existing technologies, when dampers block airflow, they may be perpendicular to the airflow direction of the inlet channel or at an obtuse angle. This can lead to the dampers not guiding the airflow effectively, making them more prone to generating eddies and resulting in poor airflow stability. In this application, both the first damper 221 and the second damper 222 are always at an acute angle to the airflow direction of the inlet channel 11. This arrangement ensures that the dampers can effectively guide the airflow regardless of their position, resulting in stable airflow and consistent airflow.

[0124] like Figures 16 to 19 As shown, the switching mechanism 23 is used to drive the two damper components to move, so that the channel opening and closing mechanism switches between the retracting working position and the unfolding working position. The switching mechanism 23 includes:

[0125] The switching component 231 is rotatably mounted on the main body 21. The switching component 231 has a first connecting part 2311 and a second connecting part 2312 that are eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the switching component 231.

[0126] The first connecting member 232 is hinged at one end to the first connecting portion 2311 and at the other end to the first damper member 221; and

[0127] The second connector 233 is hinged at one end to the second joint 2312 and at the other end to the second damper 222.

[0128] In practical applications, to make the structure compact, preferably, the rotation axes of the two damper components coincide, with one damper component rotatably mounted on the other baffle plate and the other damper component rotatably mounted on the main body 21.

[0129] In practical applications, in order to achieve better airflow guidance, when the channel opening and closing mechanism is in the retracted working position, the two damper pieces form a pointed airflow guiding structure at the end near the air inlet channel 11.

[0130] like Figure 5 and 16 As shown, in this embodiment, as Figure 16 and 19As shown, in this embodiment, in one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet assembly 100 further includes a toggle switch 53 and a first transmission member 54 and a second transmission member 55.

[0131] One end of the dial 53 is the operation end 531, and the other end is the connection end 533. The middle part of the dial 53 has a ball-shaped part 532, and the dial 53 is hinged to the body 21 through the ball-shaped part 532.

[0132] One end of the first transmission member 54 is connected to the switching member 231 and forms a universal joint structure. The other end of the first transmission member 54 is connected to one end of the second transmission member 55 and forms a universal joint structure. The other end of the second transmission member 55 is connected to the connection end 533 of the toggle switch 53 and forms a universal joint structure. The universal joint structure formed by the second transmission member 55 and the connection end 533 of the toggle switch 53 is located on the control member 51.

[0133] The toggle switch 53 can be tossed along the X direction, tossed along the Y direction, and rotated around its own axis. When the toggle switch 53 is tossed along the X direction, it can drive the control component 51 to move along the X direction. When the toggle switch 53 is tossed along the Y direction, it can drive the control component 51 to move along the Y direction. When the toggle switch 53 rotates around its own axis, it can drive the second transmission component 55, the first transmission component 54, and the switching component 231 to rotate.

[0134] The term "middle" in this application is not limited to the exact center.

[0135] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the description and drawings of the present invention, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
