Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioning vent device, an air conditioner, and an automobile. Background Technology
[0002] In existing automotive air vent systems, to achieve left-right and up-down airflow adjustment, the system typically includes up-and-down adjusting blade assemblies, left-and-right adjusting blade assemblies, and a toggle switch. Multiple up-and-down adjusting blades in the up-and-down adjusting blade assembly are mounted at the air outlet via a first linkage mechanism and oscillate synchronously. The left-and-right adjusting blade assembly is usually installed inside the up-and-down adjusting blade assembly, and multiple left-and-right adjusting blades are mounted together via a second linkage mechanism and oscillate synchronously. The toggle switch is slidably connected to one of the up-and-down adjusting blades in the up-and-down adjusting blade assembly and is also connected to the left-and-right adjusting blade assembly. Therefore, by using the toggle switch, the left-and-right adjusting blade assembly can oscillate left-and-right, or the up-and-down adjusting blade assembly can oscillate up-and-down, ultimately adjusting the airflow direction. This type of airflow adjustment mechanism in the above-described air vent system is complex and costly. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the problems of complex structure and high cost of existing air outlet regulation mechanisms.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioning outlet device, including an air collecting body and a movable body. The air collecting body is provided with an air duct through it in the direction toward the passenger space. The movable body is provided with an opening through it. The movable body is connected to the air collecting body and is fitted to the side of the air collecting body facing the passenger space.
[0005] The movable body is used to move relative to the air collector in a first direction and a second direction respectively, so that the opening is misaligned or corresponding to the area at the air duct port; or, the opening partially coincides with the area at the air duct port, and the movable body is used to rotate about the axis of the air duct with the center of the opening.
[0006] The air conditioning outlet device provided by this invention has, but is not limited to, the following technical effects compared to the prior art:
[0007] The air collector can be a fixed structure, such as being fixedly installed on the dashboard. The air collector can be provided with an air duct of a certain depth. The movable body can be a movable structure that is movably connected to the air collector and fits against the rear side of the air collector. In other words, the movable body always remains in contact with the rear side of the air collector when it moves relative to the air collector.
[0008] The movable body of the present invention is provided with an opening. The movable body can move relative to the air collecting body in a first direction and a second direction respectively. The first direction can be a horizontal direction and the second direction can be a vertical direction. When the movable body moves horizontally, the opening of the movable body can be misaligned or corresponding to the area at the rear port of the air duct in the horizontal direction. When the movable body moves vertically, the opening of the movable body can also be misaligned or corresponding to the area at the rear port of the air duct in the vertical direction. The misalignment of the opening of the movable body with the area at the rear port of the air duct refers to the area at the rear port of the air duct being partially covered by the movable body. For example, when only the left portion of the rear port of the duct is covered by a laterally moving movable body, when air enters the front port of the duct, it moves along the depth of the duct and fills the entire cross-section. Because the left portion of the rear port is covered by the movable body, the air in the left part of the duct cannot be blown directly backward from that area. As air continues to enter the front port, the air in the left part of the duct is under high pressure (this part of the fan in the duct is referred to as high-pressure air). Meanwhile, the right portion of the rear port, not covered by the movable body, is under low pressure (the air in the right part of the duct is referred to as low-pressure air). This portion of the airflow is referred to as low-pressure air. During the continuous intake of air at the front end of the duct, the high-pressure air in the left part of the duct moves along the depth of the duct while simultaneously moving towards the uncovered right part of the low-pressure area at the rear end of the duct and being blown out through the opening, thus achieving airflow to the right rear. Similarly, the movable body can move to cover only the right, upper, or lower part of the rear end of the duct, thus achieving airflow to the left rear, lower rear, or upper rear. Of course, the movable body can also move to a state where the opening corresponds to the rear end of the duct (i.e., the opening is coaxial with the duct), thus achieving airflow directly to the rear. The air conditioning outlet device of this invention can achieve airflow to the left rear, right rear, upper rear, lower rear, or directly to the rear. Furthermore, unlike existing complex airflow adjustment mechanisms, the air conditioning outlet device of this invention does not require multiple blades or connecting rod structures, resulting in a simple structure and lower cost.
[0009] Alternatively, the movable body may not move in either the first or second direction, but rather rotate around the axis of the duct with the center of the opening coinciding with the area at the rear end of the duct. In this way, through the rotation of the movable body, the upper part of the rear end of the duct can be covered to allow airflow downwards and backwards; the left part can be covered to allow airflow to the right rear; the lower part can be covered to allow airflow upwards and backwards; and the right part can be covered to allow airflow to the left rear. In this case, the air conditioning outlet can still allow airflow to the left rear, right rear, rear upper, rear lower, or directly rear, and the structure is simple and low-cost.
[0010] Furthermore, the air collection body includes an air duct carrier, the side of the air duct carrier facing the passenger space is a first arc surface, the air duct is disposed through the air duct carrier, the movable body includes a first arc plate, the opening is disposed on the first arc plate, the first arc plate is fitted with the first arc surface, the second direction is the arc direction of the first arc surface, and the first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the first arc surface.
[0011] Furthermore, the air collecting body also includes a first limiting body, which is disposed on the side of the air duct carrier facing the passenger space. The first limiting body and the first arc surface enclose an arc-shaped space, and the side of the first limiting body facing the passenger space is provided with a first opening communicating with the arc-shaped space. The first arc-shaped plate is located in the arc-shaped space.
[0012] Furthermore, the air collecting body includes an outer shell and an intermediate body. The outer shell has an air outlet on the side facing the passenger space and an air inlet on the side away from the passenger space. The intermediate body is disposed inside the outer shell. The inner wall of the outer shell and the intermediate body form symmetrically arranged air ducts, with one end of the upper air duct and the lower air duct both facing the same position of the air outlet. The side of the intermediate body facing the air outlet has a concave arc surface. The movable body includes a second arc-shaped plate. The openings are located at different positions along the arc direction of the second arc-shaped plate. The second arc-shaped plate is located inside the outer shell and fits against the concave arc surface. The second direction is the arc direction of the concave arc surface, and the first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the concave arc surface.
[0013] Furthermore, the air collecting body also includes an inner shell, which is disposed inside the outer shell and spaced apart from the concave arc surface. The side of the inner shell facing the concave arc surface is a second arc surface, and the second arc plate is located between the concave arc surface and the second arc surface. The side of the inner shell facing the air outlet is composed of two inclined air guide surfaces arranged at an angle.
[0014] Furthermore, a second opening communicating with the interior of the inner shell is provided at the second arc surface, and a third opening communicating with the interior of the inner shell is provided at the intersection of the two air guide slopes. A bushing is provided on the inner wall of the inner shell, and a movable shaft is movably connected in the bushing. A first connector and a second connector are respectively connected to the movable shaft. The end of the first connector away from the movable shaft extends out of the second opening and is connected to the second arc plate. The end of the second connector away from the movable shaft extends out of the second opening.
[0015] Furthermore, the sides of the air collecting body and the movable body that are in contact with each other are planar structures, and / or the cross-sectional shape of the air duct and the shape of the opening are circular or square, respectively; and / or, the side wall of the air duct away from the occupant space is provided with rounded corners.
[0016] Furthermore, the first direction is a transverse direction, and the depth dimension of the air duct is greater than or equal to 1 / 3 of the dimension of the air duct in the transverse direction.
[0017] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, including the air conditioner outlet device as described above.
[0018] Since the technical improvements and effects of the air conditioner are the same as those of the air outlet device, the air conditioner will not be described in detail again.
[0019] The present invention also provides an automobile, including the air conditioner as described above.

[0039] See Figure 1-2 An air conditioning outlet device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air collecting body 1 and a movable body 2. The air collecting body 1 is provided with an air duct 11 through the direction towards the passenger space. The movable body 2 is provided with an opening 21 through the air collecting body. The movable body 2 is connected to the air collecting body 1 and is fitted to the side of the air collecting body 1 facing the passenger space.
[0040] The movable body 2 is used to move relative to the air collecting body 1 in a first direction and a second direction respectively, so that the opening 21 is misaligned or corresponding to the area at the port of the air duct 11; or, the opening 21 is partially overlapped with the area at the port of the air duct 11, and the movable body 2 is used to rotate about the axis of the air duct 11 around the center of the opening 21.
[0041] in, Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cross-section perpendicular to the depth direction of the air duct 11.
[0042] In this embodiment, the air collector 1 can be a fixed structure, for example, it can be fixedly installed on the dashboard. The air collector 1 can be provided with an air duct 11 of a certain depth. The movable body 2 can be a movable structure, which is movably connected to the air collector 1. The movable body 2 is attached to the rear side of the air collector 1. In other words, the movable body 2 always remains attached to the rear side of the air collector 1 when it moves relative to the air collector 1.
[0043] In this embodiment, the movable body 2 is provided with an opening 21. The movable body 2 can move relative to the air collecting body 1 in a first direction and a second direction respectively. The first direction can be a horizontal direction and the second direction can be a vertical direction. That is to say, the movable body 2 can move left and right or up and down relative to the air collecting body 1. When the movable body 2 moves horizontally, the opening 21 of the movable body 2 can be misaligned or corresponding to the area at the rear end of the air duct 11 in the horizontal direction. When the movable body 2 moves vertically, the opening 21 of the movable body 2 can be misaligned or corresponding to the area at the rear end of the air duct 11 in the vertical direction. In this case, the opening 21 of the movable body 2 is misaligned with the area at the rear end of the air duct 11, meaning that the rear end of the air duct 11 can be partially covered by the movable body 2. For example, when only the left portion of the rear port of the air duct 11 is covered by the laterally moving movable body 2, when the wind enters the front port of the air duct 11, the wind will move along the depth direction of the air duct 11 and fill the entire cross-section of the air duct 11. Because the left portion of the rear port of the air duct 11 is covered by the movable body 2, the wind in the left part of the space in the air duct 11 cannot blow out directly to the rear from the left part of the rear port of the air duct 11. As air continues to enter the front port of the air duct 11, the wind in the left part of the space in the air duct 11 will be in a high-pressure state (this part of the wind in the air duct 11 is referred to as high-pressure wind), while the right portion of the rear port of the air duct 11, because it is not covered by the movable body 2, will be in a low-pressure state (this part of the wind in the air duct 11 is referred to as low-pressure wind). Therefore, during the continuous air intake process at the front port of the air duct 11, the wind in the air duct 11... The high-pressure air in the left part of the space will move along the depth direction of the air duct 11 while moving towards the uncovered right part of the low-pressure area at the rear end of the air duct 11 and being blown out through the opening 21, thus achieving air blowing to the right rear. Similarly, when the movable body 2 moves to the left to cover only the right part of the rear end of the air duct 11, air blowing to the left rear is achieved. Similarly, the movable body 2 can also move vertically to cover the upper part of the rear end of the air duct 11, thus achieving air blowing to the rear and lower. The movable body 2 can also move vertically to cover the lower part of the rear end of the air duct 11, thus achieving air blowing to the rear and upper. Of course, the movable body 2 can also move horizontally first and then vertically (or vertically first and then horizontally) to achieve a state in which the opening 21 corresponds to the rear end of the air duct 11 (that is, the opening 21 and the air duct 11 are set coaxially), thus achieving air blowing to the straight rear. The air conditioning outlet device of this embodiment can blow air to the left rear, right rear, rear upper, rear lower or directly rear. At the same time, the air conditioning outlet device of this embodiment is different from the existing complex air direction adjustment mechanism. It does not require multiple blades and connecting rod structures, etc., and has a simple structure and low cost.
[0044] It should be noted that, as mentioned above, the air conditioning outlet device can adjust the airflow direction vertically or horizontally; in addition, it can also adjust vertically and horizontally simultaneously. For example, when the opening 21 corresponds to the air duct 11, the movable body 2 is first moved vertically to cover the upper area of the rear port of the air duct 11, and then moved horizontally to cover the left area of the rear port of the air duct 11. Thus, the area of the rear port of the air duct 11 that is finally covered is only the upper left corner, thereby achieving the simultaneous adjustment of the airflow direction horizontally and vertically.
[0045] In other embodiments, the movable body 2 may not move in either the first or second direction, but may instead rotate about the axis of the air duct 11 around the center of the opening 21, with the opening 21 partially overlapping the area at the rear port of the air duct 11. Thus, through the rotation of the movable body 2, the upper area of the rear port of the air duct 11 can be covered to achieve downward and rearward airflow; the left area of the rear port of the air duct 11 can be covered to achieve rearward and rightward airflow; the lower area of the rear port of the air duct 11 can be covered to achieve upward and rearward airflow; and the right area of the rear port of the air duct 11 can be covered to achieve rearward and leftward airflow. In this case, the air conditioning outlet can still achieve airflow to the rear left, rear right, rear upper, rear lower, or directly rear, and the structure is simple and low-cost. Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the air duct 11 and the shape of the opening 21 are both circular, with the center of the opening being the center of the circular opening. The distance from the center of the opening 21 to the axis of the air duct 11 is less than a predetermined distance, which is the sum of the radius of the opening 21 and the radius of the air duct 11. This ensures that the opening and the rear end of the air duct always partially overlap. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3As shown, the area covered at the rear end of the air duct 11 is crescent-shaped. Referring to the airflow adjustment principle described earlier, the airflow direction is the side of the rear end of the air duct 11 that deviates from the crescent-shaped area. For example, when the covered crescent-shaped area is located on the right side of the rear end of the air duct 11, the air conditioning unit blows air to the left rear; when the covered crescent-shaped area is located on the left side of the rear end of the air duct 11, the air conditioning unit blows air to the right rear; and when the covered crescent-shaped area is located at the top of the rear end of the air duct 11, the air conditioning unit blows air to the right rear. The air outlet blows air downwards and backwards; when the covered crescent-shaped area is located below the rear end of the air duct 11, the air conditioning outlet blows air upwards and backwards; as the movable body rotates within the 0-360° range, the orientation of the covered crescent-shaped area can change within the 0-360° range, and thus the blowing direction of the air conditioning outlet can change within the 0-360° range. The blowing direction at 0° is a left-rear direction, at 180° it is a right-rear direction, and at 270° it is a rear-upward direction. Here, multiple air ducts 11 with circular cross-sections can be arranged laterally on the air collecting body 1. In this case, there are multiple movable bodies 2, each with a circular opening 21, and each movable body 2 is used for the blowing direction of one air duct 11.
[0046] In addition, in this embodiment, since the movable body 2 is provided with an opening 21, as mentioned above, when the movable body 2 moves laterally to the state where the opening 21 corresponds to the rear port of the air duct 11, it blows air directly to the rear. When it is necessary to blow air to the left rear, it is only necessary to move the movable body 2 a small distance to the left. When it is necessary to blow air to the right rear, it is only necessary to move the movable body 2 a small distance to the right. The size of the movable body 2 does not need to be too large, and the movable body 2 does not need to occupy a lot of space, which can further reduce costs.
[0047] Furthermore, since the movable body 2 has an opening 21, and multiple openings 21 are arranged at horizontal intervals along the movable body 2, multiple air ducts 11 on the air collecting body 1 can also be arranged at horizontal intervals. Multiple openings 21 can be arranged one-to-one with the rear ports of multiple air ducts 11, thereby enabling multiple air ducts 11 to blow air directly to the rear. Of course, by moving the movable body 2 to the left or right, multiple air ducts 11 can also blow air to the left rear or right rear simultaneously; by moving the movable body 2 up or down, multiple air ducts 11 can also blow air to the rear lower or rear upper simultaneously.
[0048] The air conditioning vents are not limited to being installed on the dashboard; they can also be installed on the A-pillar, B-pillar, or behind the armrest. For ease of illustration, the following description will focus on installation on the dashboard.
[0049] Optionally, the relative position of the movable body 2 and the air collecting body 1 can be adjusted directly, or it can be adjusted using mechanisms including but not limited to linkages, gears, etc. The adjustment of the movable body 2 can be driven manually or by a motor. When adjusting manually, a structure such as a rubber strip can be added between the air collecting body 1 and the movable body 2 to enhance the seal and improve the adjustment feel.
[0050] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the air duct 11 and the shape of the opening 21 can be square or similar to a square, and the specific shape is not limited. The sides of the air collecting body 1 and the movable body 2 that are in contact can both be planar structures, so that the first direction and the second direction can both be straight directions, for example, the first direction is the horizontal direction and the second direction is the vertical direction.
[0051] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the sidewall of the air duct 11, away from the passenger space, is provided with a rounded corner 111. The presence of this rounded corner 111 allows air to enter the air duct 11 under the guidance of the rounded corner 111 and fill the entire cross-section of the air duct 11, while reducing the pressure loss of the air when it enters the air duct 11. Furthermore, by ensuring that the air fills the entire cross-section of the air duct 11 after entering, and by partially covering the area at the rear end of the air duct 11, different pressure air can be distinguished within the air duct 11 (the aforementioned distinction between high-pressure and low-pressure air), ultimately achieving airflow direction adjustment.
[0052] Optionally, the radius of the fillet 111 is greater than or equal to 5mm, and the depth of the air duct 11 is greater than or equal to 1 / 3 of the width of the air duct 11. Tests have shown that, within the above parameter range, the airflow direction of the air conditioning outlet device can be effectively adjusted without occupying a large amount of car space.
[0053] See Figure 4-6 Optionally, the air collecting body 1 includes an air duct carrier 12, the side of the air duct carrier 12 facing the passenger space is a first arc surface 121, the air duct 11 is disposed through the air duct carrier 12, the movable body 2 includes a first arc plate 22, the opening 21 is disposed on the first arc plate 22, the first arc plate 22 is fitted with the first arc surface 121, wherein the second direction is the arc direction of the first arc surface 121, and the first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the first arc surface 121.
[0054] In this embodiment, the air collecting body 1 includes an air duct carrier 12. The rear side of the air duct carrier 12 is a rearwardly protruding first arc surface 121. The air duct 11 is disposed through the air duct carrier 12. The movable body 2 includes a first arc plate 22. The arc of the first arc plate 22 is the same as the arc of the first arc surface 121, so that the first arc plate 22 can be fitted onto the first arc surface. When the first arc plate 22 does not cover the rear end of the air duct 11 in the arc direction, the first arc plate 22 can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the arc direction of the first arc surface 121. That is, the first arc plate 22 can be moved laterally, thereby covering part of the rear end of the air duct 11 to achieve air blowing to the left rear, right rear, or directly rear. When the first arc plate 22 does not cover the rear end of the air duct 11 in the lateral direction, the first arc plate 22 can be moved in the arc direction to achieve air blowing to the rear upper, rear lower, or directly rear. The first direction is the straight line direction, and the second direction is the arc length direction. These two directions are easier to achieve and have lower costs. Moreover, when adjusting the airflow from the upper rear or the lower rear, the inner wall of the first arc plate 22 can also guide the airflow due to its shape, thereby reducing the pressure loss of the airflow.
[0055] In this embodiment, multiple air ducts 11 can be arranged at lateral intervals along the air duct carrier 12. Since the first arc-shaped plate 22 has openings 21, multiple openings 21 can also be arranged along the lateral direction of the first arc-shaped plate 22. Furthermore, the lateral dimension of the openings 21 is greater than or equal to the lateral dimension of the rear end of the air duct 11, and the arc dimension of the openings 21 is greater than or equal to the arc dimension of the rear end of the air duct 11. Thus, as... Figure 4 As shown, when the first arc plate 22 does not cover the rear port of the air duct 11 in the arc direction, the first arc plate 22 can be moved to the left. The first arc plate 22 will cover the right part of the rear port of all air ducts 11 at the same time, so that all air ducts 11 can blow air to the left rear at the same time. Similarly, when the first arc plate 22 does not cover the rear port of the air duct 11 in the arc direction, the first arc plate 22 can be moved to the right. The first arc plate 22 will cover the left part of the rear port of all air ducts 11 at the same time, so that all air ducts 11 can blow air to the right rear at the same time. Similarly, when the second arc plate 23 moves to a position where multiple openings 21 correspond one-to-one with the rear ports of multiple air ducts 11, all air ducts 11 can blow air to the rear at the same time. Of course, when the first arc plate 22 does not cover the rear end of the air duct 11 in the horizontal direction, the first arc plate 22 can be moved in the arc direction, thereby enabling all air ducts 11 to blow air to the rear and upward, the rear and downward, or directly behind at the same time.
[0056] In this embodiment, each air duct 11 on the first arc surface 121 may have a first rib on both sides of its rear port in the lateral direction. The first rib extends along the arc direction, and a corresponding first groove is provided on the inner side of the first arc plate 22. Second ribs may also be provided on both sides of the rear port of each air duct 11 on the first arc surface 121 in the arc direction. The second ribs extend laterally, and a corresponding second groove is provided on the inner side of the first arc plate 22. When the first groove engages with the first rib, and when the second groove engages with the second rib, all openings 21 correspond one-to-one with all rear ports of the air ducts 11, and all air ducts 11 simultaneously blow air towards the rear. When it is necessary to adjust the left-right airflow, a slightly larger force can be applied to move the first arc plate 22 laterally so that the first groove moves to the left or right past the first rib. When it is necessary to adjust the up-down airflow, a slightly larger force can be applied to move the first arc plate 22 in the arc direction so that the second groove moves upward or downward past the second rib. Multiple first protruding ribs can be provided on both sides of the rear port of the air duct 11. In this way, by moving the first arc plate 22 laterally, the first groove can be made to cooperate with the corresponding first protruding rib, thereby achieving adjustment and fixation of different blowing angles to the left or right. Similarly, multiple second protruding ribs can be provided on both sides of the arc direction of the rear port of the air duct 11. In this way, by moving the first arc plate 22 in the arc direction, the second groove can be made to cooperate with the corresponding second protruding rib, thereby achieving adjustment and fixation of different blowing angles to the up or down.
[0057] Wherein, when the first arc-shaped plate 22 covers the rear end of the air duct 11 in the lateral direction, the extreme position is at least 1 / 3 of the lateral dimension of the rear end of the air duct 11. Figure 1 In the diagram, B represents the lateral dimension of the air duct 11, which is the lateral dimension of the rear end of the air duct 11. When the first arc-shaped plate 22 covers the rear end of the air duct 11 in the arc direction, its extreme position covers at least half of the arc dimension of the rear end of the air duct 11. This ensures that when the lateral movement reaches its extreme position, the rear end of the air duct 11 has a distinct leftward or rightward airflow sensation. Similarly, it also ensures that when the arc direction is moved to its extreme position, the rear end of the air duct 11 has a distinct downward or upward airflow sensation.
[0058] In this embodiment, a toggle member 221 may be provided on the side of the first arc-shaped plate 22 facing the passenger space, so that the position of the first arc-shaped plate 22 can be manually adjusted by the toggle member 221.
[0059] See Figure 6 Optionally, the air collecting body 1 further includes a first limiting body 13, which is disposed on the side of the air duct carrier 12 facing the passenger space. The first limiting body 13 and the first arc surface 121 enclose an arc-shaped space, and the side of the first limiting body 13 facing the passenger space is provided with a first opening communicating with the arc-shaped space. The first arc plate 22 is located in the arc-shaped space.
[0060] In this embodiment, the air collecting body 1 includes not only the air duct carrier 12, but also a first limiting body 13. The first limiting body 13 is disposed on the rear side of the air duct carrier 12, and the first limiting body 13 and the first arc surface 121 can enclose an arc-shaped space, in which the first arc plate 22 is limited and will not fall off, and the first arc plate 22 can move within the arc-shaped space. It can be understood that the first limiting body 13 is provided with a first opening (not shown in the figure) on the side facing the passenger space. The distance between the farthest and farthest rear ports of the air ducts 11 is less than or equal to the lateral dimension of the first opening, and the arc dimension of the rear port of the air duct 11 is less than or equal to the arc dimension of the first opening. In this way, it can be ensured that the first opening will not affect the airflow at the rear end of the air duct 11.
[0061] See Figure 7-10 Optionally, the air collection body 1 includes an outer shell 14 and an intermediate body 15. The outer shell 14 has an air outlet 141 on the side facing the passenger space and an air inlet 142 on the side away from the passenger space. The intermediate body 15 is disposed inside the outer shell 14. The inner wall of the outer shell 14 and the intermediate body 15 form symmetrically arranged air ducts 11, one end of which faces the air outlet. At the same location 141, the intermediate body 15 has a concave arc surface 153 formed on the side facing the air outlet 141. The movable body 2 includes a second arc plate 23. The opening 21 is opened at different positions in the arc direction of the second arc plate 23. The second arc plate 23 is located inside the outer shell 14 and fits against the concave arc surface 153. The second direction is the arc direction of the concave arc surface 153, and the first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the concave arc surface 153.
[0062] In this embodiment, the air collecting body 1 includes an outer shell 14 and an intermediate body 15. After the intermediate body 15 is installed inside the outer shell 14, it can enclose the outer shell 14 to form an upper air duct 11 and a lower air duct 11. The movable body 2 includes a second arc-shaped plate 23, which is fitted with an inwardly concave arc surface 153. The second arc-shaped plate 23 has upper and lower openings 21 at different positions along its arc direction. Thus, as... Figure 11As shown, when the second arc-shaped plate 23 does not cover the ports of the upper and lower air ducts 11 in the horizontal direction, and when the second arc-shaped plate 23 moves in the arc direction to a point where it does not cover the ports of the upper and lower air ducts 11 in the arc direction, the airflow from the ports of the upper and lower air ducts 11 is the same. Since one end of the upper and lower air ducts 11 faces the same position at the air outlet 141, the airflow from the ports of the upper and lower air ducts 11 and the equivalent airflow from the ports of the lower air ducts 11 converge at a set angle at the same position at the air outlet 141, thereby achieving airflow to the rear. Similarly, as Figure 12 As shown, when the second arc-shaped plate 23 does not cover the ports of the upper and lower air ducts 11 laterally, and when the second arc-shaped plate 23 moves in the arc direction until the port of the upper air duct 11 is partially covered while the port of the lower air duct 11 is not covered, the airflow from the port of the upper air duct 11 is less than that from the port of the lower air duct 11. Since one end of the upper and lower air ducts 11 faces the same position at the air outlet 141, the small airflow from the port of the upper air duct 11 and the large airflow from the port of the lower air duct 11 converge at a set angle at the same position at the air outlet 141, thus achieving upward and backward airflow; similarly, as Figure 13 and Figure 8 As shown, when the second arc plate 23 does not cover the port of the upper air duct 11 and the port of the lower air duct 11 in the horizontal direction, and when the second arc plate 23 moves in the arc direction until the port of the upper air duct 11 is not covered, while the port of the lower air duct 11 is partially covered, the air volume of the port of the upper air duct 11 is greater than the air volume of the port of the lower air duct 11. Since one end of the upper air duct 11 and the lower air duct 11 are facing the same position of the air outlet 141, the large air volume of the port of the upper air duct 11 and the small air volume of the port of the lower air duct 11 converge at a set angle at the same position of the air outlet 141, and then the air will blow backward and downward.
[0063] In this embodiment, based on the above-described air outlet principle, it can be understood that when the second arc-shaped plate 23 does not cover the ports of the upper and lower air ducts 11 in the arc direction, and when the second arc-shaped plate 23 moves laterally to cover the right region of the ports of the upper and lower air ducts 11, the air outlet volume of the upper air duct 11 port and the air outlet volume of the lower air duct 11 port are the same, and both achieve air outlet to the left rear. Finally, the upper and lower air volumes that are outleted to the left rear are equal and converge at the same position of the air outlet opening 141, and then pass through the air outlet opening 141. After step 1, the airflow still blows to the left and rear. At the same time, when the second arc plate 23 does not cover the port of the upper air duct 11 and the port of the lower air duct 11 in the arc direction, and when the second arc plate 23 moves laterally to cover the left area of the port of the upper air duct 11 and the port of the lower air duct 11, the airflow from the port of the upper air duct 11 and the airflow from the port of the lower air duct 11 are the same, and both achieve airflow to the right and rear. Finally, the upper airflow and the lower airflow that are airflow to the right and rear converge at the same position of the air outlet 141, and after passing through the air outlet 141, the airflow still blows to the right and left and rear.
[0064] The air inlet 142 of the outer casing 14 is used for air intake. After the air enters the air inlet 142, it enters the upper air duct 11 and the lower air duct 11. The inner wall of the outer casing 14 is provided with a third arc surface near the air outlet 141. The third arc surface matches the concave arc surface 153. No matter how the second arc plate 23 moves in the arc direction, the two ends of the second arc plate 23 always fit against the third arc surface in the arc direction.
[0065] In this embodiment, specifically, see [link to specific example]. Figure 8-9 The intermediate body 15 includes an intermediate body main body 151 and partition columns 152. The intermediate body main body 151 and the outer shell 14 are symmetrically arranged with arc-shaped flow channels 16. The intermediate body main body 151 is symmetrically arranged with partition columns 152 near the air outlet 141. An upper air duct 11 is formed between adjacent upper partition columns 152, and a lower air duct 11 is formed between adjacent lower partition columns 152. After air enters through the air inlet 142 of the outer shell 14, it is diverted by the intermediate body main body 151 and enters the upper and lower arc-shaped flow channels 16 respectively. Air entering the upper arc-shaped flow channel 16 then enters the upper air duct 11, and air entering the lower arc-shaped flow channel 16 then enters the lower air duct 11.
[0066] In this embodiment, the air conditioning vent device can be hidden in the car, making the car interior more aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, compared with traditional hidden vents, the air conditioning vent device in this embodiment has a simpler structure and lower cost.
[0067] The angle between the upper air duct 11 and the lower air duct 11, which is the aforementioned set angle, is preferably between 60° and 120°. Within this angle range, the combined airflow from the upper and lower sides allows for a relatively significant adjustment of the blowing angle.
[0068] The upper air duct 11 can be provided in multiple horizontal directions, the lower air duct 11 can be provided in multiple horizontal directions, the upper opening 21 can be provided in multiple horizontal directions, and the lower opening 21 can also be provided in multiple horizontal directions.
[0069] In this embodiment, the second arc plate 23 can be provided with a first groove and a second groove in the same way as the first arc plate 22, and the concave arc surface 153 is also provided with a first rib and a second rib in the same way as the first arc surface 121.
[0070] Wherein, when the second arc-shaped plate 23 covers the rear port of the air duct 11 in the lateral direction, the extreme position is that it covers at least 1 / 3 of the lateral dimension of the port of the air duct 11. Figure 1 In the diagram, B represents the lateral dimension of the air duct 11, which is the lateral dimension of the rear end of the air duct 11. When the second arc-shaped plate 23 covers the rear end of the air duct 11 in the arc direction, its extreme position covers at least half of the arc dimension of the rear end of the air duct 11. This ensures that when the second arc-shaped plate 23 moves laterally to its extreme position, the end of the air duct 11 has a distinct leftward or rightward airflow sensation, and also ensures that when the arc direction moves to its extreme position, the upper and lower airflows converge at the air outlet 141, resulting in a distinct downward or upward airflow sensation.
[0071] See Figure 7-10 Optionally, the air collecting body 1 further includes an inner shell 17, which is disposed inside the outer shell 14 and spaced apart from the concave arc surface 153. The side of the inner shell 17 facing the concave arc surface 153 is a second arc surface 171, and the second arc plate 23 is located between the concave arc surface 153 and the second arc surface 171. The side of the inner shell 17 facing the air outlet 141 has two guide slopes 172 arranged at an included angle.
[0072] In this embodiment, the air collecting body 1 includes an outer shell 14 and an intermediate body 15, as well as an inner shell 17. The inner shell 17 is disposed inside the outer shell 14 and spaced apart from the concave arc surface 153. The side of the inner shell 17 facing the concave arc surface 153 is a second arc surface 171. In this way, the second arc plate 23 can be limited between the concave arc surface 153 and the second arc surface 171, and the second arc plate 23 will not fall off. The side of the inner shell 17 facing the air outlet 141 has two guide slopes 172 arranged at an angle. The angle between the two guide slopes 172 is the same as the aforementioned set angle, ensuring that the air coming out of the air ducts 11 on the upper and lower sides can move along the set angle to the same position of the air outlet 141 and converge.
[0073] See Figure 7-8 Optionally, a second opening 1711 communicating with the interior of the inner shell 17 is provided at the second arc surface 171, and a third opening 1721 communicating with the interior of the inner shell 17 is provided at the intersection of the two air guide inclined surfaces 172. A bushing 173 is provided on the inner wall of the inner shell 17, and a movable shaft 174 is movably connected in the bushing 173. A first connector 1741 and a second connector 1742 are respectively connected to the movable shaft 174. One end of the first connector 1741 away from the movable shaft 174 extends out of the second opening 1711 and is connected to the second arc plate 23. One end of the second connector 1742 away from the movable shaft 174 extends out of the second opening 1711.
[0074] In this embodiment, the second connector 1742, the movable shaft 174, the first connector 1741, and the second arc plate 23 can be regarded as a whole. The second arc plate 23 can be moved laterally or moved in the arc direction by driving the second connector 1742 to move laterally or swing up and down.
