[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] It should be noted that car defrosting can be achieved in a variety of ways, ensuring the driver has a good field of vision and thus improving driving safety. The following are some effective defrosting methods: Using a car defrost device: Modern cars are equipped with defrost devices, including front and rear window defrost functions. These devices work by means of electric glass defrosting, effectively clearing frost, ice and snow from the windshield. When using these devices, you usually need to press the corresponding defrost button, such as the "FRONT" button and the "REAR" button, which are located next to the air conditioning control panel in the center console. Turn on the heater: After starting the car, turn on the heater and air conditioning, adjust the wind speed to the maximum, and blow the warm air on the windshield until the ice melts. Although this method is time-consuming, it does not require the use of physical tools, thus avoiding possible damage to the glass.
[0037] Among them, when the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle is large, water vapor or frost will often appear on the windows, especially in cold areas or in winter. The appearance of water vapor or frost on the windows will seriously affect the driver's vision. Traditional warm air conditioners cannot give priority to defrosting specific areas, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.
[0038] The embodiment of the present application provides an air outlet adjustment device and a vehicle, which can realize the left and right movement of the air outlet of the air duct, can give priority to defrosting of specific areas, reduce the driver's waiting time, and solve the problem in the related technology that traditional warm air air conditioners cannot give priority to defrosting of specific areas, which easily leads to traffic accidents.
[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an air outlet adjustment device, which may include: a translation component 1, the translation component 1 is used to be set on the front sheet metal, the translation component 1 is connected to the air duct 2, and the translation component 1 can drive the air duct 2 to move along the width direction of the vehicle body; a bellows 3, one end of the bellows 3 is connected to one end of the air duct 2, and the other end of the bellows 3 is used to be slidably connected to the front wind window grille 4 and connected to the front wind window grille 4; a hose 5, one end of the hose 5 is connected to the other end of the air duct 2, and the other end of the hose 5 is used to connect to the air outlet of the air conditioner.
[0040] For example, refer to Figure 1 The translation assembly 1 is used to be installed on the front panel (not shown in the front panel figure). The top of the translation assembly 1 is provided with an air duct 2. The length direction of the air duct 2 is arranged along the front-to-back direction. The front end of the air duct 2 is connected with a hose 5. The front end of the hose 5 is used to communicate with the air outlet of the air conditioner in the engine compartment. The rear end of the air duct 2 is connected with a bellows 3. The rear end of the bellows 3 is used for sliding connection with the front windshield grille 4, and the rear end of the bellows 3 is connected to the front windshield grille 4. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, when the air duct 2 is driven by the translation end of the translation assembly to move in the left and right direction (that is, the width direction of the vehicle body), the bellows 3 will slide in the length direction of the front windshield grille 4.
[0041] Specifically, the translation assembly 1 can drive the air duct 2 to move along the width of the vehicle body. Due to the vehicle's design, the front windshield grille 4 is mostly curved, with its arc protruding toward the interior of the vehicle. This results in the middle portion of the front windshield grille 4 being relatively far away from the bellows 3, while the ends of the front windshield grille 4 are relatively close to the bellows 3. Therefore, when the air duct 2 is moved to the center of the cab, the bellows 3 is appropriately stretched. When the air duct 2 is located on either side of the cab, the bellows 3 is appropriately compressed to accommodate the front windshield grille 4. Similarly, the hose 5 can also accommodate the changing distance between the air duct 2 and the air outlet of the air conditioner, enabling the air outlet of the air duct 2 to move left and right. This allows for prioritized defrosting of specific areas, reducing driver waiting time and resolving the problem of conventional warm air air conditioners failing to prioritize defrosting of specific areas, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.
[0042] In combination with the first aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the translation assembly 1 may include: two guide rails 101, the two guide rails 101 are arranged in parallel, and the length direction thereof extends along the width direction of the vehicle body, and the guide rails 101 are used to be fixed to the front panel metal; a rack 102, the rack 102 is arranged between the two guide rails 101, and the length direction thereof extends along the width direction of the vehicle body; a slide 103, the slide 103 is slidably connected to the two guide rails 101, and a first motor is installed inside the slide 103, and the output end of the first motor is provided with a gear, the gear is engaged with the rack 102, and the slide 103 is connected to the air duct 2.
[0043] For example, refer to Figure 1 The translation assembly 1 includes two guide rails 101 spaced apart in the front-to-back direction and extending in the left-to-right direction. The two guide rails 101 are mounted and fixed to the front panel. A rack 102 is located between the two guide rails 101 and also extends in the left-to-right direction. A slide 103 is slidably connected to the two guide rails 101 in the left-to-right direction. A first motor is mounted inside the slide 103. The output end of the first motor is sleeved with a gear, which is at least partially exposed outside the slide 103 and meshes with the rack 102. The gear and the first motor are not shown in the figure. By driving the first motor, the gear and rack cooperate to drive the slide 103 to move in the length direction of the two guide rails 101, thereby driving the air duct 2 on the slide 103 to move along the width direction of the vehicle body, thereby enabling the defrosting of specific areas to be prioritized and reducing driver waiting time.
[0044] In combination with the first aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the translation end of the translation component 1 is provided with a telescopic component 6, and the telescopic component 6 is connected to the other end of the air duct 2; the telescopic component 6 can drive the other end of the air duct 2 to swing to change the air outlet direction of the other end of the bellows 3.
[0045] For example, refer to Figure 1 The slide 103 forms the translation end of the translation assembly 1, that is, the top of the slide 103 is provided with a telescopic assembly 6, which can be telescopic in the up and down directions, that is, telescopic in the height direction of the vehicle body, and the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly 6 is hinged to the front end of the air duct 2. When the telescopic assembly 6 is extended, it will push the front end of the air duct 2 to swing upward, so that the air duct 2 originally Figure 2The upward wind flow shown in the figure changes to a horizontal wind flow into the car; of course, if the telescopic component 6 continues to extend, it will continue to push the front end of the air duct 2 to swing upward, so that the air duct 2 tends to change from a horizontal wind flow into the car to a downward wind flow into the car; similarly, when the telescopic component 6 is retracted, it will pull the front end of the air duct 2 to swing downward, so that the air duct 2 originally turned horizontally into the car. Figure 2 The upward airflow angle shown is further increased. The defrost vents can be adjusted up and down to further prioritize defrosting and defogging at specific locations. By moving the vents and changing their airflow angles, the entire windshield defrosting and defogging area is fully covered, reducing driver waiting time and saving space inside the dashboard.
[0046] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the telescopic assembly 6 may include an electric push rod, one end of which is fixed to the translation end of the translation assembly 1 and the other end of which is hinged to the other end of the air duct 2. For example, the telescopic assembly 6 may use the electric push rod to adjust the air outlet angle of the air duct 2.
[0047] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the telescopic assembly 6 may include: a second motor, the second motor being mounted on the translation end of the translation assembly 1, and the output end of the second motor being sleeved with a cam; and a slide rod, the slide rod being slidably connected to the translation end of the translation assembly 1, one end of the slide rod being hinged to the other end of the air duct 2, and the other end of the slide rod being hinged to the cam. For example, the second motor is mounted inside the slide 103, and the output end of the second motor is sleeved with a cam, a slide rod being hinged to a portion of the cam away from its own center, the slide rod passing through one end of the slide 103 and hinged to the front end of the air duct 2, and the slide rod being slidably connected to the slide 103, restricting the slide rod to only up and down movement. When the second motor rotates, the cam cooperates to pull or push the slide rod, thereby causing the front end of the air duct 2 to swing, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle of the air duct 2. The telescopic assembly 6 may also use a crank rocker mechanism to adjust the air outlet angle of the air duct 2.
[0048] In combination with the first aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 is arranged in an arc shape, and a positioning cylinder 7 is fixed to the other end of the air duct 2, and the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 is arranged in the positioning cylinder 7. For example, because the telescopic component 6 needs to drive the front end of the air duct 2 to swing, the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 needs to be movably connected to the air duct 2. The telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 can be arranged in an arc shape, or a sphere can be fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6, and a positioning cylinder 7 can be fixed to the bottom of the front end of the air duct 2. The bottom end of the positioning cylinder 7 is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting groove is sleeved on the telescopic end or the sphere of the telescopic component 6, which can meet the requirement of the telescopic component 6 driving the front end of the air duct 2 to swing.
[0049] In combination with the first aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a telescopic rod 8 is provided at the bottom of the air duct 2, and the length direction of the telescopic rod 8 extends along the length direction of the vehicle body, and one end of the telescopic rod 8 is fixed to the other end of the air duct 2, and the other end of the telescopic rod 8 is hinged with a bracket 9, and the bracket 9 is fixed to the translation end of the translation assembly 1; projected along the height direction of the vehicle body, the length of the bellows 3 at least partially overlaps with the length of the telescopic rod 8.
[0050] For example, a telescopic rod 8 is provided at the bottom of the air duct 2, and the length direction of the telescopic rod 8 is consistent with the length direction of the air duct 2. The outer tube of the telescopic rod 8 is fixed to the bottom of the air duct 2, and the front end of the inner tube of the telescopic rod 8 is fixed to the bottom of the front end of the air duct 2. The rear end of the outer tube of the telescopic rod 8 is hinged with a bracket 9, and the bracket 9 is fixed to the slide 103, so that the telescopic rod 8 can support the air duct 2, and when the air duct 2 is adjusted up and down, such as when the front end of the air duct 2 swings upward, the bellows 3 connected to the rear end of the air duct 2 will be severely bent, affecting the air outlet effect. At this time, because the length of the telescopic rod 8 at least partially overlaps with the length of the bellows 3, the telescopic rod 8 will limit the bellows 3 from being severely bent, and limit the bellows 3 after a certain bending, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect of the bellows 3.
[0051] In combination with the first aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner diameter of the air duct 2 gradually increases along at least a portion of its length as it extends from the other end of the air duct 2 to the one end of the air duct 2. For example, the inner diameter of the air duct 2 gradually increases from the front end to the rear end of the air duct 2. By utilizing the continuity and fluctuation of air flow, the cross-sectional area of the air duct 2 is rationally changed, thereby reducing air flow rate and pressure, thereby achieving the purpose of optimizing exhaust efficiency.
[0052] Second, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle including an air outlet adjustment device. The air outlet adjustment device may include: a translation assembly 1, which is disposed on a front panel and connected to an air duct 2. The translation assembly 1 can drive the air duct 2 to move along the width direction of the vehicle body; a bellows 3, one end of which is connected to one end of the air duct 2, and the other end of which is slidably connected to and connected to a front windshield grille 4; and a hose 5, one end of which is connected to the other end of the air duct 2, and the other end of which is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner.
[0053] For example, refer to Figure 1 The translation assembly 1 is mounted on the front panel (not shown in the front panel diagram). An air duct 2 is provided on the top of the translation assembly 1. The length direction of the air duct 2 is arranged along the front-to-back direction. The front end of the air duct 2 is connected to a hose 5. The front end of the hose 5 is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner in the engine compartment. The rear end of the air duct 2 is connected to a bellows 3. The rear end of the bellows 3 is slidably connected to the front windshield grille 4, and the rear end of the bellows 3 is connected to the front windshield grille 4. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, when the air duct 2 is driven by the translation end of the translation assembly to move in the left and right direction (that is, the width direction of the vehicle body), the bellows 3 will slide in the length direction of the front windshield grille 4.
[0054] Specifically, the translation assembly 1 can drive the air duct 2 to move along the width of the vehicle body. Due to the vehicle's design, the front windshield grille 4 is mostly curved, with its arc protruding toward the interior of the vehicle. This results in the middle portion of the front windshield grille 4 being relatively far away from the bellows 3, while the ends of the front windshield grille 4 are relatively close to the bellows 3. Therefore, when the air duct 2 is moved to the center of the cab, the bellows 3 is appropriately stretched. When the air duct 2 is located on either side of the cab, the bellows 3 is appropriately compressed to accommodate the front windshield grille 4. Similarly, the hose 5 can also accommodate the changing distance between the air duct 2 and the air outlet of the air conditioner, enabling the air outlet of the air duct 2 to move left and right. This allows for prioritized defrosting of specific areas, reducing driver waiting time and resolving the problem of conventional warm air air conditioners failing to prioritize defrosting of specific areas, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.
[0055] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the translation assembly 1 may include: two guide rails 101, the two guide rails 101 are arranged in parallel, and the length direction thereof extends along the width direction of the vehicle body, and the guide rails 101 are fixed to the front panel metal; a rack 102, the rack 102 is arranged between the two guide rails 101, and the length direction thereof extends along the width direction of the vehicle body; a slide 103, the slide 103 is slidably connected to the two guide rails 101, and a first motor is installed inside the slide 103, and a gear is provided on the output end of the first motor, the gear is engaged with the rack 102, and the slide 103 is connected to the air duct 2.
[0056] For example, refer to Figure 1 The translation assembly 1 includes two guide rails 101 spaced apart in the front-to-back direction and extending in the left-to-right direction. The two guide rails 101 are fixed to the front panel. A rack 102 is located between the two guide rails 101 and also extends in the left-to-right direction. A slide 103 is slidably connected to the two guide rails 101 in the left-to-right direction. A first motor is mounted inside the slide 103. The output end of the first motor is sleeved with a gear, which is at least partially exposed outside the slide 103 and meshes with the rack 102. The gear and the first motor are not shown in the figure. By driving the first motor, the gear and rack cooperate to drive the slide 103 to move in the length direction of the two guide rails 101, thereby driving the air duct 2 on the slide 103 to move along the width direction of the vehicle body, thereby enabling the defrosting of specific areas to be prioritized and reducing driver waiting time.
[0057] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the translation end of the translation component 1 is provided with a telescopic component 6, and the telescopic component 6 is connected to the other end of the air duct 2; the telescopic component 6 can drive the other end of the air duct 2 to swing to change the air outlet direction of the other end of the bellows 3.
[0058] For example, refer to Figure 1 The slide 103 forms the translation end of the translation assembly 1, that is, the top of the slide 103 is provided with a telescopic assembly 6, which can be telescopic in the up and down directions, that is, telescopic in the height direction of the vehicle body, and the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly 6 is hinged to the front end of the air duct 2. When the telescopic assembly 6 is extended, it will push the front end of the air duct 2 to swing upward, so that the air duct 2 originally Figure 2The upward wind flow shown in the figure changes to a horizontal wind flow into the car; of course, if the telescopic component 6 continues to extend, it will continue to push the front end of the air duct 2 to swing upward, so that the air duct 2 tends to change from a horizontal wind flow into the car to a downward wind flow into the car; similarly, when the telescopic component 6 is retracted, it will pull the front end of the air duct 2 to swing downward, so that the air duct 2 originally turned horizontally into the car. Figure 2 The upward airflow angle shown is further increased. The defrost vents can be adjusted up and down to further prioritize defrosting and defogging at specific locations. By moving the vents and changing their airflow angles, the entire windshield defrosting and defogging area is fully covered, reducing driver waiting time and saving space inside the dashboard.
[0059] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one embodiment, the telescopic assembly 6 may include an electric push rod, one end of which is fixed to the translation end of the translation assembly 1 and the other end of which is hinged to the other end of the air duct 2. For example, the telescopic assembly 6 may use the electric push rod to adjust the air outlet angle of the air duct 2.
[0060] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one embodiment, the telescopic assembly 6 may include: a second motor, the second motor being mounted on the translation end of the translation assembly 1, and the output end of the second motor being sleeved with a cam; and a slide rod, the slide rod being slidably connected to the translation end of the translation assembly 1, one end of the slide rod being hinged to the other end of the air duct 2, and the other end of the slide rod being hinged to the cam. For example, the second motor is mounted inside the slide 103, and the output end of the second motor is sleeved with a cam, a slide rod being hinged to a portion of the cam away from its own center, the slide rod passing through one end of the slide 103 and hinged to the front end of the air duct 2, and the slide rod being slidably connected to the slide 103, restricting the slide rod to only up and down movement. When the second motor rotates, the cam cooperates to pull or push the slide rod, thereby causing the front end of the air duct 2 to swing, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle of the air duct 2. The telescopic assembly 6 may also use a crank rocker mechanism to adjust the air outlet angle of the air duct 2.
[0061] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 is arranged in an arc shape, and a positioning cylinder 7 is fixed to the other end of the air duct 2, and the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 is arranged in the positioning cylinder 7. For example, because the telescopic component 6 needs to drive the front end of the air duct 2 to swing, the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 needs to be movably connected to the air duct 2. The telescopic end of the telescopic component 6 can be arranged in an arc shape, or a sphere can be fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic component 6, and a positioning cylinder 7 can be fixed to the bottom of the front end of the air duct 2.

[0063] For example, a telescopic rod 8 is provided at the bottom of the air duct 2, and the length direction of the telescopic rod 8 is consistent with the length direction of the air duct 2. The outer tube of the telescopic rod 8 is fixed to the bottom of the air duct 2, and the front end of the inner tube of the telescopic rod 8 is fixed to the bottom of the front end of the air duct 2. The rear end of the outer tube of the telescopic rod 8 is hinged with a bracket 9, and the bracket 9 is fixed to the slide 103, so that the telescopic rod 8 can support the air duct 2, and when the air duct 2 is adjusted up and down, such as when the front end of the air duct 2 swings upward, the bellows 3 connected to the rear end of the air duct 2 will be severely bent, affecting the air outlet effect. At this time, because the length of the telescopic rod 8 at least partially overlaps with the length of the bellows 3, the telescopic rod 8 will limit the bellows 3 from being severely bent, and limit the bellows 3 after a certain bending, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect of the bellows 3.
[0064] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner diameter of the air duct 2 gradually increases along at least a portion of its length as it extends from the other end of the air duct 2 to the one end of the air duct 2. For example, the inner diameter of the air duct 2 gradually increases from the front end to the rear end of the air duct 2. By utilizing the continuity and fluctuation of air flow, the cross-sectional area of the air duct 2 is rationally changed, thereby reducing air flow rate and pressure, thereby achieving the purpose of optimizing exhaust efficiency.
[0065] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front windshield grille 4 is provided with two slide grooves 401, and the length direction of the slide grooves 401 is extended along the width direction of the vehicle body. The other end of the bellows 3 is fixed with two sliders 301, and the sliders 301 are slidably connected in the corresponding slide grooves 401, and the other end of the bellows 3 is connected to the front windshield grille 4; the translation assembly 1 is arranged on the front sheet metal, and the other end of the hose 5 is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner.
