Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted air conditioning outlet status indicator device and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] When using a vehicle, users need to use air conditioning to adjust the temperature in the cabin to improve driving and riding comfort. In the past, the direction, air volume and temperature of the air outlet of the air conditioner in the vehicle cabin had to be manually adjusted, and the current state parameters after adjustment were not displayed. They could only be distinguished through the user's sensory perception, and these perceptions were ambiguous. With the development of technology, the direction, air volume and temperature of the air outlet can be adjusted through the car screen, and the parameters of the current air outlet can be displayed on the car screen. When the user needs to know the current state parameters of the air outlet, the user or driver must shift his or her sight to the interface of the car screen to view. Because the car screen will display the air outlet status information of multiple air outlets in the interface when displaying air conditioning information, the air outlet status information of a single air outlet occupies a smaller area in the interface. The user needs to shift his or her sight multiple times to view it during the viewing process before he or she can confirm all the state parameters of the air outlet, which will not only reduce the user experience, but also reduce driving safety.

[0003] Therefore, as the functions in the car increase, in order to improve driving safety and enhance the user experience, how to enable users to reduce the number of times they check the car screen interface, while ensuring driving safety while being able to intuitively and quickly obtain air conditioning information related to the air outlet is a topic that needs to be studied. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present application provides a vehicle-mounted air conditioning outlet status indicator device and a vehicle, which can enhance the user experience.

[0005] A first aspect of the present application provides a vehicle-mounted air-conditioning outlet status indicator device, comprising: an air-conditioning outlet, the air outlet direction of which can be changed; an interior panel, the interior panel having an indicator portion, the indicator portion presenting an indicator mark in a working state, the indicator mark being used to indicate the current air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet; when the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet changes, the indicator mark also changes, or when the indicator mark changes, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet also changes.

[0006] From the above, by setting an indicator part on the interior panel, the indicator mark presented by the indicator part indicates the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet, and the indicator mark will change accordingly according to the change of the real-time air outlet direction, always indicating the real-time air outlet direction. When the air outlet direction changes, it will also drive the indicator mark to change accordingly. At the same time, there can be another situation, and the display state of the indicator mark can be adjusted to drive the change of the air outlet direction. No matter what the situation is, the indicator mark corresponds to the real-time air outlet direction, so that the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet can be displayed outside the car screen to avoid interference from other information on the car screen. The user can directly obtain the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet according to the indicator part, without having to distinguish among a lot of information. In this way, it is convenient for users to obtain the status parameters of the air-conditioning outlet, improve the user experience, and reduce the number of times the user diverts his eyes when viewing the parameters, thereby improving driving safety.

[0007] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the indicator mark includes at least one first mark extending in the vehicle height or vehicle width direction, and the inclination direction of the first mark relative to the vehicle height or vehicle width direction is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0008] From the above, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet is indicated by the inclination direction of the first mark, so that the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet can be displayed to the user more intuitively, thereby facilitating the user to confirm the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet, reducing the number of times the eyes are diverted when checking parameters, improving driving safety, and enhancing the user experience.

[0009] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the indicator mark includes at least one of the first marks extending in the vehicle height direction, and the inclination direction of the first mark extending in the vehicle height direction relative to the vehicle width direction indicates the left and right air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0010] From the above, the user can confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet according to the left and right tilt direction of the first mark, thereby facilitating the user to confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet and improving the user experience.

[0011] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the indicator mark includes at least one of the first marks extending in the vehicle width direction, and the inclination direction of the first mark extending in the vehicle width direction relative to the vehicle height direction indicates the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0012] From the above, the user can confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet according to the up and down tilt direction of the first mark, thereby facilitating the user to confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet and improving the user experience.

[0013] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the indicator mark also includes a second mark, which is arranged on the first mark, and the position of the second mark on the first mark in the vehicle height direction is used to indicate the up and down air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0014] As described above, by setting the second mark on the first mark, the user can obtain the left and right air outlet information of the air conditioner outlet through the first mark, and at the same time, confirm the up and down air outlet information of the air conditioner outlet according to the height of the second mark on the first mark. In this way, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0015] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the size of the first identifier is used to indicate the air volume of the air outlet of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0016] From the above, the size of the first marker can enable the user to more intuitively obtain the air volume information of the air-conditioning outlet. In addition, the air volume information can be displayed through the first marker while displaying the air direction. Thus, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0017] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the size of the first marker includes at least one of an area, a length, and a width of the first marker.

[0018] From the above, the user can confirm the air volume of the air outlet according to the area, length and width of the first mark. It is very intuitive and the user can accurately obtain the information of the air volume without too much thinking.

[0019] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the indicator mark includes at least one third mark with a gradually changing width, and the gradually changing direction of the width of the third mark is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0020] From the above, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet is indicated by the width gradient direction of the third mark, so that the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet can be displayed to the user more intuitively, thereby facilitating the user to confirm the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet, reducing the number of times the user lowers his head when checking the parameters, thereby improving driving safety and enhancing the user experience.

[0021] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the third mark gradually changes in width in the vehicle height direction, and the direction in which its width decreases or the direction in which its width increases indicates the up and down air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0022] As described above, the third mark can be formed into an arrow shape pointing in the up-down direction by gradually decreasing its width in the vehicle height direction. Alternatively, the third mark can be formed into a trumpet shape pointing in the up-down direction by gradually increasing its width in the vehicle height direction. Thus, it is convenient for users to confirm the up-down air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet.

[0023] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, an inclination direction of the third mark relative to the vehicle width direction indicates a left-right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0024] From the above, the third mark can be used to indicate the up and down air outlet direction of the air outlet, and the tilt direction of the third mark can also be used to indicate the left and right air outlet direction of the air outlet. In this way, the air outlet direction information displayed by the third mark can be increased, so that it is convenient for users to confirm the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet, reduce the number of times they look down when checking parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user experience.

[0025] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the third mark gradually changes in width in the vehicle width direction, and the direction in which its width decreases or the direction in which its width increases indicates the left and right air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0026] As shown above, the third mark can be formed into an arrow shape pointing to the left and right direction by gradually changing its width in the vehicle width direction. Alternatively, the third mark can be formed into a trumpet shape pointing to the up and down direction by gradually increasing its width in the vehicle width direction. In this way, it is convenient for users to confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet.

[0027] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, an inclination direction of the third mark relative to the vehicle height direction indicates an up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0028] From the above, the left and right air outlet directions of the air outlet can be indicated by the third mark, and the up and down air outlet directions of the air outlet can also be indicated by the tilt direction of the third mark. In this way, the air outlet direction information of the air outlet displayed by the third mark can be increased, so that it is convenient for users to confirm the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet, reduce the number of times they look down when checking parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user experience.

[0029] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the indicator mark includes at least one fourth mark of flow display, swing display or rotation display, and the flow, swing or rotation direction corresponding to the fourth mark is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0030] From the above, the indicator mark dynamically indicates the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet through the fourth mark of flowing display, swinging display and rotating display, so that the user can easily confirm the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet and improve the user experience.

[0031] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the indicator mark includes at least two marks, and the combination of the at least two marks can be used to indicate at least the left and right air outlet directions and the up and down air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet, respectively.

[0032] From the above, any two or more indicator marks can be combined to indicate the air outlet direction of the air conditioner in a more diverse manner, and any two indicator marks can be used to indicate the left and right air outlet direction, and the other to indicate the up and down air outlet direction. This setting not only shows the air outlet direction more perfectly, but also makes it more interesting. At the same time, it is also more convenient for users to confirm the air outlet direction of the air conditioner, reduce the number of times they look down when checking parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance user experience.

[0033] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the color of the indicator mark is used to indicate the air outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0034] From the above, users can determine the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner by the color of the indicator, so that the air outlet temperature information of the air conditioner can be displayed to users more intuitively, making it convenient for users to confirm the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner. It is also possible to increase the types of status information of the air conditioner included in the indicator, reduce the number of times to look down when checking parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user experience.

[0035] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the indicator mark is located at a peripheral position of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0036] From the above, by setting the indicator mark at the peripheral position of the air-conditioning outlet, the user can easily confirm the status information of the corresponding air-conditioning outlet, thereby improving the user experience.

[0037] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a sensor for detecting at least one of an air outlet direction, an air outlet temperature, and an air outlet volume is provided at the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0038] From the above, the air outlet direction, air outlet temperature and air volume of the air conditioner outlet can be detected in real time, and the detected data can be fed back to the controller, so that the change of the indicator mark can be adjusted based on the real-time data, thereby improving the accuracy of the air outlet information of the air conditioner outlet.

[0039] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the indicating unit is activated to enter the working state based on the detection result of the sensor.

[0040] As described above, the indicator unit can display the air outlet information of the air conditioner in a timely manner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0041] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, when the air-conditioning outlet is in an open state, the indicator is activated to enter the working state.

[0042] As described above, the indicator unit can display the air outlet information of the air conditioner in a timely manner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0043] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the indication unit includes a sleep state, and the indication unit does not present the indication mark in the sleep state; the indication unit enters the sleep state after maintaining the working state for a predetermined period of time.

[0044] As described above, by making the indicating unit enter the dormant state after maintaining the working state for a predetermined period of time, the energy consumption of the indicating unit can be reduced, thereby saving electric energy.

[0045] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the indicating unit can be switched from the sleep state to the working state through any of voice, button, touch, gesture, and sight.

[0046] As described above, when the user needs to know the status information of the air conditioner outlet, the user can make the indicator unit enter the working state through voice, button, touch, gesture, sight, etc., so as to present the indicator mark to display the status information of the air conditioner outlet. In this way, the user's use can be facilitated and the user experience can be improved.

[0047] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, an ambient light is provided on the interior trim panel, and the indicator portion includes at least a portion of the ambient light.

[0048] From the above, the indicator part and the ambient light can be combined together to enhance the user experience.

[0049] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, an ambient light is provided on the interior trim panel, and a display mode of the ambient light is linked to the indicator mark.

[0050] From the above, by linking the ambient light with the indicator logo, the light pattern on the interior panel can be made more coordinated and flexible, thereby improving the aesthetics of the interior panel and enhancing the user experience.

[0051] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the indicator mark is a static or dynamically changing light pattern.

[0052] From the above, by using static or dynamically changing luminous patterns as indicator marks, the indicator marks can be made richer and the luminous patterns can be more intuitive, which is convenient for users to obtain information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] As a possible implementation of the first aspect, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet includes at least a left-right air outlet direction and an up-down air outlet direction, and the indicator mark is used to indicate at least one of the air outlet directions.

[0054] As shown above, various air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet can be displayed through indicator signs. Users can obtain any information they want through the indicator signs, which is more comprehensive. The most important up and down and left and right air outlet information for users can be obtained in time, and can also be adjusted in time based on actual needs.

[0055] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the indication mark can be selected or customized by the user.

[0056] As mentioned above, the indicator signs are not fixed and may include a variety of modes or styles, which can be selected and set by users based on their own preferences or habits to better meet their needs. Of course, users can also make customized designs and use their own designs as indicator signs, thereby meeting the user's personalized usage needs to the greatest extent.

[0057] As a possible implementation method of the first aspect, the change of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet includes any one of the following: the change of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet caused by manual adjustment of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet by a user; the change of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet caused by automatic adjustment of the air-conditioning outlet; the adjustment of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet caused by the user adjusting the display status of the indicator mark.

[0058] From the above, the change of the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet can include a variety of situations, such as manual adjustment, automatic adjustment, or adjusting the air outlet direction by adjusting the indicator mark, etc. No matter which adjustment method is used, as long as there is an air outlet direction or the air outlet direction has changed, it can be displayed through the indicator mark, which is an intuitive and convenient way for users to obtain information.

[0059] As a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, one indicating unit may be used to indicate current air outlet directions of at least two of the air-conditioning outlets.

[0060] As described above, even when there are relatively many air outlets of the air conditioner, the air outlet status can be displayed with as few indicating parts as possible, so that the number of indicating parts can be reduced, which has a cost advantage.

[0061] A second aspect of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising: a seat, the seat being provided with at least one; a vehicle-mounted air-conditioning outlet status indicator device as described in any one of the first aspect of the present application, the seat corresponding to at least one of the air-conditioning outlets and at least one of the indicator parts.

[0062] From the above, by setting an indicator on the interior panel, the indicator mark presented by the indicator mark indicates the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet, so that the display of the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet can be separated from the car screen to avoid interference to the user by other information on the car screen. The user can directly obtain the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet according to the indicator mark, without having to distinguish among a lot of information. In this way, it is convenient for users to obtain the status parameters of the air-conditioning outlet, reduce the number of times they look down when checking the parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user experience.

[0063] As a possible implementation of the second aspect, when the air-conditioning outlet corresponding to the seat is in an open state and a user sits on the seat, the indicator corresponding to the seat enters a working state.

[0064] From the above, by making the indicator unit enter the working state when the air-conditioning outlet is in the open state and a user sits on the corresponding seat, the energy consumption of the indicator unit can be reduced and electric energy can be saved. At the same time, making the indicator unit enter the working state after the user sits down can also facilitate the user to understand the status information of the air-conditioning outlet, thereby improving the user experience.

[0065] As a possible implementation of the second aspect, when the indicator is in a dormant state and the user adjusts the state of the air-conditioning outlet, the indicator corresponding to the air-conditioning outlet enters a working state;

[0066] Alternatively, when the indicating unit is in a dormant state, the indicating unit enters a working state when sensing the approach of a user.

[0067] As described above, when the user adjusts the air outlet of the air conditioner, the user can understand the state of the air outlet after adjustment, so as to facilitate the user to operate. At the same time, when the user is sensed to be approaching, the indicator part can enter the working state, which is convenient for the user to check.

[0068] As a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, the indicator portion is located within a range observable by a user sitting on the seat.

[0069] As described above, by setting the indicator within the range that the user can observe when looking straight ahead, the driving risk caused by the user lowering his head or shifting his sight to check the status information of the air-conditioning outlet can be avoided. In this way, the driving safety can be improved and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0070] As a possible implementation of the second aspect, the vehicle includes a driver's seat, a co-pilot seat and a back seat, and the indicator portion corresponding to the driver's seat is located on the dashboard of the vehicle on the side close to the driver's seat; or, the indicator portion corresponding to the co-pilot seat is located on the dashboard of the vehicle on the side close to the co-pilot seat or on the inner side of the door on the side of the co-pilot seat; or, the indicator portion corresponding to the back seat is located on the back of the driver's seat or the co-pilot seat, or on the inner side of the door closest to the back seat or at the rear end of the front center control armrest.

[0071] As a result, users in the driver's seat, the front passenger seat and the back row can more conveniently obtain the air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet, thereby improving the user experience.

[0072] As a possible implementation of the second aspect, the vehicle includes multiple interior panels corresponding to the multiple seats, and the multiple indication parts corresponding to the multiple seats in the vehicle are arranged on the same interior panel, or the multiple indication parts corresponding to the multiple seats in the vehicle are respectively arranged on different interior panels, or at least two of the multiple indication parts corresponding to the multiple seats in the vehicle are arranged on the same interior panel.

[0073] From the above, the multiple indicator parts for the multiple air outlets can be located on different interior panels respectively, so that each user can check them separately. Two or more indicator parts can also be set on the same interior panel, so that one user can grasp the status of more indicator parts as a whole, and the choice can be based on different user needs.

[0074] As a possible implementation manner of the second aspect, the vehicle includes a plurality of interior panels corresponding to the plurality of seats, and a user can set at least one of the indication portions on any one of the plurality of interior panels.

[0075] From the above, the position of the indicator part can be set based on the actual needs of the user, so as to meet the different needs of different users and be more humane.

[0076] These and other aspects of the invention will become more apparent from the following description of the embodiment(s). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0089] The words "first, second, third, etc." and similar terms in the specification and claims are only used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It is understandable that the specific order or sequence can be interchanged where permitted so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0090] The term "comprising" as used in the description and claims should not be interpreted as being limited to what is listed thereafter; it does not exclude other elements. It should therefore be interpreted as specifying the presence of the features, integers or components mentioned, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers or components and groups thereof. Thus, the expression "a device comprising means A and B" should not be limited to a device consisting of components A and B only.

[0091] References to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but may refer to the same embodiment. In addition, in one or more embodiments, the particular features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any appropriate manner, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art from this disclosure.

[0092] Below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of the vehicle air-conditioning outlet status indicating device 10 in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

[0093] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle air-conditioning outlet status indicator device 10 in the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning outlet state indicating device 10 in the present application includes an air-conditioning outlet 100 and an interior panel 200. The air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be changed. Specifically, the air outlet direction can be adjusted manually, automatically or electrically in, for example, the vehicle width direction X (i.e., the left-right direction) and the vehicle height direction Y (i.e., the up-down direction). For example, the air outlet direction can be adjusted manually or automatically on the vehicle display screen or by voice. The interior panel 200 has an indicating portion 210. The indicating portion 210 presents an indicating mark 220 in the working state. The indicating mark 220 is used to indicate the current air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. When the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 changes, the indicating mark 220 also changes, or when the indicating mark 220 changes, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 also changes.

[0094] Thus, by setting the indicator 210 on the interior panel 200, the indicator 220 presented by the indicator 210 indicates the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100, and the indicator 220 will change accordingly according to the change of the real-time air outlet direction, and always indicate the real-time air outlet direction. When the air outlet direction changes, the indicator 220 will also change accordingly. At the same time, there may be another situation. The indicator 210 may have an adjustment function, and the change of the air outlet direction may also be driven by adjusting the display state of the indicator 220. Regardless of the situation, the indicator 220 corresponds to the real-time air outlet direction, so that the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be displayed outside the vehicle screen to avoid interference to the user caused by other information on the vehicle screen. One air-conditioning outlet 100 may correspond to one or more indicator 210, or one indicator 210 may correspond to one or more air-conditioning outlets 100. There is no limitation here, and it can be set based on actual conditions. The user can directly obtain the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the indicator 210, without having to distinguish among a lot of information. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to obtain the state parameters of the air-conditioning outlet 100, improve the user experience, and reduce the number of times the user diverts his or her sight when checking the parameters, thereby improving driving safety.

[0095] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the vehicle air-conditioning outlet status indicator device 10 in the second embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the indicator mark 220 includes at least one first mark 221 extending in the vehicle height direction Y or the vehicle width direction X, and the inclination direction of the first mark 221 relative to the vehicle height direction Y or the vehicle width direction X is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Therefore, by indicating the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the inclination direction of the first mark 221, the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be more intuitively displayed to the user, so as to facilitate the user to confirm the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100, reduce the number of times to look down when checking parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user experience.

[0096] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the display status change of the indicator 220, wherein: Figure 3 (a) shows Figure 2 The change of the indicator mark 220 of the upper and lower positions of the central air-conditioning outlet 100 before (realized part) and after (dotted line part) the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is adjusted. Figure 3 (b) shows Figure 2 The change of the indicator mark 220 of the left and right positions of the central air-conditioning outlet 100 before (realized part) and after (dotted part) the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is adjusted.

[0097] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the indicator mark 220 includes at least one first mark 221 extending in the vehicle height direction Y. The first mark 221 extending in the vehicle height direction Y indicates the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by its inclination direction relative to the vehicle width direction X. Specifically, the first mark 221 may be one or more marks arranged above and / or below the air-conditioning outlet 100, for example Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a plurality of first signs 221 arranged in the left-right direction above and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 are arranged. When the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 deviates to the right, the first signs 221 located above and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 will rotate accordingly, and the upper ends of the first signs 221 located above and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt to the right to indicate that the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is deviated to the right. When the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 changes and is adjusted to deviate to the left, the first signs 221 located above and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 will rotate accordingly, and the upper ends of the first signs 221 located above and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt to the left to indicate that the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is deviated to the left. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the upper end of the first mark 221 located above the air-conditioning outlet 100 may be tilted left and right, and the lower end of the first mark 221 located below the air-conditioning outlet 100 may be tilted left and right, that is, the wind direction deviation direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is indicated by the tilt direction of the first mark 221 away from the end of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the user can confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the left and right tilt direction of the first mark 221, so as to facilitate the user to confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 and improve the user experience.

[0098] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the indicator mark 220 includes at least one first mark 221 extending in the vehicle width direction X. The first mark 221 extending in the vehicle width direction X indicates the up and down air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100 relative to the vehicle height direction Y. Specifically, the first mark 221 can be one or more marks arranged on the left and / or right side of the air conditioning outlet 100, for example Figure 2As shown in the figure, there are multiple signs arranged in the up-down direction on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning outlet 100. When the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 deviates downward, the first signs 221 located on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning outlet 100 will rotate accordingly, and the right ends of the first signs 221 located on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt downward to indicate that the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 deviates downward. When the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 changes and is adjusted to deviate upward, the first signs 221 located on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning outlet 100 will rotate accordingly, and the right ends of the first signs 221 located on the left and right sides of the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt upward to indicate that the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 deviates upward. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the left end of the first mark 221 located on the left side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 may be tilted up and down, and the right end of the first mark 221 located on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 may be tilted up and down, that is, the tilt direction of the first mark 221 away from the end of the air-conditioning outlet 100 indicates the wind direction deviation direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the user can confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the up and down tilt direction of the first mark 221, so as to facilitate the user to confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 and improve the user experience.

[0099] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle air-conditioning outlet status indicator device 10 in the third embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the indicator mark 220 includes a first mark 221 set on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100, and a first mark 221 set below the air-conditioning outlet 100. The first mark 221 set on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 extends in the up-down direction, and can swing left and right with the upper end as the center. The user can determine the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by the left and right tilting direction of the lower end of the first mark 221. The first mark 221 set below the air-conditioning outlet 100 extends in the left-right direction, and can swing up and down with the left end as the center. The user can determine the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by the up and down tilting direction of the right end of the first mark 221.

[0100] Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the vehicle air-conditioning outlet status indicator device 10 in the fourth embodiment of the present application. Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the indicator mark 220 also includes a second mark 222, and the second mark 222 is set on the first mark 221. The position of the second mark 222 on the first mark 221 in the vehicle height direction Y is used to indicate the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. When the up and down air outlet direction changes, the position of the second mark 222 on the first mark 221 will also change. For example, when the air outlet direction is adjusted upward, the second mark 222 will move upward relative to the current position. Therefore, by setting the second mark 222 on the first mark 221, the user can obtain the left and right air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the first mark 221, and can confirm the up and down air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the height of the second mark 222 on the first mark 221. In this way, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when viewing parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user's experience can be enhanced.

[0101] In some embodiments, Figure 5 Similar to the first mark 221 in FIG. 1 , the first mark 221 extends in the vehicle width direction X, and the inclination direction of the first mark 221 relative to the vehicle height direction Y is used to indicate the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. The second mark 222 is set on the first mark 221, and the position of the second mark 222 on the first mark 221 in the vehicle width direction X is used to indicate the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Therefore, by setting the second mark 222 on the first mark 221, the user can obtain the up and down air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the first mark 221, and can confirm the left and right air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the position of the second mark 222 on the first mark 221. Therefore, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0102] Figure 6 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the change of the first mark 221 when the air volume decreases, Figure 6 (a) is Figure 1 The enlarged view of the first mark 211 presented by the middle indicator 210, Figure 6 (b) is Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a change of the first mark 211 after the air volume of the air outlet 100 of the central air conditioner is reduced, Figure 6 (c) is Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of a change of the first mark 211 after the air volume of the air conditioner outlet 100 is reduced. Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the size of the first identifier 221 is used to indicate the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Specifically, the size of the first identifier 221 includes at least one of the area, length, and width of the first identifier 221. Thus, the size of the first identifier 221 can be used to enable the user to more intuitively obtain the air volume information of the air-conditioning outlet 100, reduce the user's thinking time, and enhance the user's experience. In addition, the air volume information can be displayed through the first identifier 221 while displaying the air direction. Thus, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when viewing parameters can be reduced, driving safety can be improved, and the user's experience can be enhanced.

[0103] Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of the vehicle air-conditioning outlet status indicator device 10 in the fifth embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the indicator mark 220 includes at least one third mark 223 with a gradually changing width, and the gradually changing direction of the width of the third mark 223 is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Therefore, by indicating the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the gradually changing direction of the width of the third mark 223, the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be more intuitively displayed to the user, thereby facilitating the user to confirm the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100, reducing the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters, improving driving safety, and enhancing the user experience.

[0104] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle height direction Y, and the direction in which its width decreases indicates the up and down air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle height direction Y, thereby forming an arrow shape pointing in the up and down direction. Thus, it is convenient for users to confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100.

[0105] In some embodiments, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle height direction Y, and the direction in which its width increases indicates the up and down air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle height direction Y, thereby forming a trumpet shape facing the up and down direction. Thus, it is convenient for users to confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100.

[0106] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle width direction X, and the direction in which its width decreases indicates the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle width direction X, thereby forming an arrow shape pointing to the left and right directions. Thus, it is convenient for users to confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0107] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle height direction Y, and the direction in which its width decreases indicates the up and down air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100. Therefore, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle height direction Y, so as to form an arrow shape pointing in the up and down direction. As a result, it is convenient for users to confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100. Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can also be indicated according to the tilt direction of the third mark 223. Specifically, it can be, for example Figure 7 As shown in , when the width of the third mark 223 changes gradually in the vehicle height direction Y, the user tilts the smaller end of the third mark 223 above the air-conditioning outlet 100 to the right, and determines that the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is tilted to the right. When the width of the third mark 223 changes gradually in the vehicle width direction X, the user tilts the smaller end of the third mark 223 on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 downward, and determines that the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is tilted downward. In this way, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0108] In some embodiments, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle width direction X, and the direction in which its width increases indicates the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the third mark 223 gradually changes in width in the vehicle width direction X, thereby forming a trumpet shape facing the left and right directions. Thus, it is convenient for users to confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0109] In some embodiments, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can also be indicated according to the tilt direction of the wide end of the third mark 223. Specifically, the third mark 223 is in the shape of a trumpet, and the user determines the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by the tilt direction of the wide end (i.e., the trumpet end) of the third mark 223. In this way, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0110] In some embodiments, the third mark 223 has a gradually changing width in the vehicle height direction Y, the second mark 222 is set on the third mark 223, and the position of the second mark 222 on the third mark 223 in the vehicle height direction Y is used to indicate the up and down air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0111] In some embodiments, the third mark 223 has a gradually changing width in the vehicle width direction X, the second mark 222 is set on the third mark 223, and the position of the second mark 222 on the third mark 223 in the vehicle width direction X is used to indicate the left and right air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0112] In some embodiments, the indicator mark 220 includes at least one fourth mark (not shown) that is displayed in a flowing, swinging or rotating manner. For example, the fourth mark can be set to a graphic shape that can indicate a direction, such as a colorful flag, a streamer, a windmill, a water flow, or a wind pattern. The flow, swing or rotation direction corresponding to the fourth mark is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the indicator mark 220 dynamically indicates the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the fourth mark that is displayed in a flowing, swinging or rotating manner, so that the user can easily confirm the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 and improve the user experience.

[0113] In some embodiments, the indicator mark 220 includes at least two marks, and the combination of at least two marks can be used to indicate at least the left and right air outlet direction and the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Therefore, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be indicated in a more diverse manner by combining any two or more indicator marks 220, and any two indicator marks 220 can be used to indicate the left and right air outlet direction, and the other can be used to indicate the up and down air outlet direction. Such a setting not only displays the air outlet direction more perfectly, but also has more fun. At the same time, it is also more convenient for users to confirm the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100, reduce the number of times they look down when checking parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance user experience.

[0114] In some embodiments, the color of the indicator 210 is used to indicate the outlet temperature of the air conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the user can determine the outlet temperature of the air conditioning outlet 100 by the color of the indicator 210, so that the outlet temperature information of the air conditioning outlet 100 can be more intuitively displayed to the user, so as to facilitate the user to confirm the outlet temperature of the air conditioning outlet 100. The types of status information of the air conditioning outlet 100 included in the indicator 210 can also be increased, reducing the number of times to look down when checking parameters, improving driving safety, and enhancing the user's experience.

[0115] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the indicator 210 is located at the periphery of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, by arranging the indicator 210 at the periphery of the air-conditioning outlet 100, it is convenient for the user to confirm the status information of the corresponding air-conditioning outlet 100 after the indicator 220 is presented on the indicator 210, thereby improving the user experience.

[0116] In some embodiments, a sensor (not shown) for detecting at least one of the air outlet direction, air outlet temperature, and air outlet volume is provided at the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the air outlet direction, air outlet temperature, and air outlet volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be detected in real time, and the detected data can be fed back to the controller (not shown), so that the change of the indicator 220 can be adjusted based on the real-time data, thereby improving the accuracy of the air outlet information display of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0117] In some embodiments, the indicator 210 is activated to enter a working state based on the detection result of the sensor. Thus, the indicator 210 can display the air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 in a timely manner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0118] In some embodiments, when the air-conditioning outlet 100 is in the open state, the indicator 210 is activated to enter the working state. Thus, the indicator 210 can display the air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 in a timely manner, thereby improving the user experience.

[0119] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle 1 in the embodiment of the present application; Fig. 9 for Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle 1 from the driver's perspective. Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the indicator 210 can also be set on the instrument panel 30, for example, set on the instrument panel 30 in front of the main driver's seat or the passenger's seat 20, so as to facilitate the driver and the passenger on the passenger's seat 20 to observe. Fig. 9 The indicator 210 may be arranged on the door panel 70 shown in the figure or other suitable positions on the vehicle door, so as to facilitate passengers to observe. The indicator 210 may also be arranged on the central control armrest. When the air-conditioning outlet 100 is arranged at one end of the central control armrest facing the rear seat, by arranging the indicator 210 on the central control armrest, it is convenient for rear passengers to observe so as to obtain the air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 facing the rear seat. The indicator 210 may also be arranged on the seat back, so as to facilitate rear passengers to observe so as to obtain the air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 facing the rear seat. Alternatively, the indicator 210 may also be arranged at other positions convenient for users to observe, and there is no limitation to this.

[0120] In some embodiments, when an air-conditioning outlet 100 corresponding to the seat 20 is provided on each of the left and right sides in front of the driver's seat or the co-driver's seat 20, if the driver's seat has two air outlets on the left and right sides, the indicator 210 can be as follows: Fig. 9The display is shown as being arranged in the middle of the left and right air outlets for easy observation by the user. The indicator 210 may display the air outlet information of the two air-conditioning air outlets 100 on one panel, or may display the air outlet information of the two air-conditioning air outlets 100 on two panels respectively.

[0121] In some embodiments, the indicator 210 includes a sleep state, and the indicator 210 is hidden in the sleep state indicator 220. The indicator 210 enters the sleep state after maintaining a predetermined time in the working state. Thus, by making the indicator 210 enter the sleep state after maintaining a predetermined time in the working state, the energy consumption of the indicator 210 can be reduced, thereby saving power.

[0122] In some embodiments, the indicator 210 can be switched from the dormant state to the working state by any method including voice, button, touch, gesture, and sight. Thus, when the user needs to know the status information of the air-conditioning outlet 100, the indicator 210 can be switched to the working state by voice, button, touch, gesture, sight, etc., so that the indicator 220 is presented to display the status information of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Thus, the user's use can be facilitated and the user's experience can be improved.

[0123] In some embodiments, when the indicator 210 is in a dormant state and the user adjusts the state of the air-conditioning outlet 100, the indicator 210 corresponding to the air-conditioning outlet 100 enters a working state and presents an indicator mark 220; or, when the indicator 210 is in a dormant state, when it senses the user's approach, the indicator 210 enters a working state. Thus, when the user adjusts the air-conditioning outlet 100, it is convenient for the user to understand the adjusted state of the air-conditioning outlet 100, thereby facilitating the user's operation. At the same time, when it senses the user's approach, the indicator 210 can enter a working state, which is convenient for the user to view.

[0124] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, an ambient light 60 is provided on the interior panel 200, and the indicator 210 includes at least a portion of the ambient light 60. Thus, the indicator 210 and the ambient light 60 can be combined together to enhance the user experience.

[0125] In some embodiments, an atmosphere light 60 is provided on the interior panel 200, and the display mode of the atmosphere light 60 is linked with the indicator mark 220. Specifically, the display color of the atmosphere light 60 is linked with the indicator mark 220, that is, the color of the atmosphere light 60 is the same as that of the indicator mark 220, or the display color of the atmosphere light 60 and the indicator mark 220 can change according to a certain rule. The display pattern of the atmosphere light 60 and the indicator mark 220 is linked, that is, the atmosphere light 60 and the indicator mark 220 are linked to form a unified or related pattern. For example, when the indicator mark 220 is a flowing water pattern, the atmosphere light 60 also displays a flowing water pattern, and the direction of the flowing water pattern displayed by the atmosphere light 60 is consistent with the direction of the flowing water pattern displayed by the indicator mark 220. Therefore, by linking the atmosphere light with the indicator mark, the light pattern on the interior panel can be made more coordinated and smart, thereby improving the aesthetics of the interior panel and enhancing the user experience.

[0126] In some embodiments, the ambient light 60 and the indicator unit 210 are independent of each other to prevent the ambient light 60 from interfering with the indicator unit 210 and affecting the user's determination of the status information of the air conditioning outlet 100 through the indicator unit 210 .

[0127] In some embodiments, the indicator mark 220 is a static or dynamically changing luminous pattern. Thus, by using a static or dynamically changing luminous pattern as an indicator mark, the indicator mark 220 can be made richer and the luminous pattern is more intuitive, which is convenient for users to obtain information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0128] In some embodiments, the indicating part 210 may be composed of a screen, a display panel, a light-transmitting panel, a light-transmitting surface, etc., or may be formed by an LED light array, and may indicate the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by selective on and off control or lighting time sequence control.

[0129] In some embodiments, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 includes at least a left-right air outlet direction and an up-down air outlet direction, and the indicator 220 is used to indicate at least one of the air outlet directions. Thus, the various air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be displayed by the indicator 220, and the user can obtain any desired information through the indicator 220, which is more comprehensive, and the most important up-down and left-right air outlet information for the user can be obtained in time, and can also be adjusted in time based on actual needs.

[0130] In some embodiments, the indicator 220 can be selected or customized by the user. Therefore, the indicator 220 is not fixed and can include multiple modes or styles, which can be selected and set by the user based on his or her own preferences or habits, which better meets the needs of the user; of course, the user can also customize the design and use the scheme designed by himself or herself as the indicator 220, so as to meet the personalized use needs of the user to the greatest extent.

[0131] In some embodiments, the change of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 includes any of the following: the change of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 caused by the user manually adjusting the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100; the change of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 caused by the automatic adjustment of the air-conditioning outlet 100; the adjustment of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 caused by the user adjusting the display state of the indicator 220. Therefore, the change of the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 may include a variety of situations, such as manual adjustment, automatic adjustment, or adjusting the air outlet direction by adjusting the indicator 220, etc. Regardless of the adjustment method, as long as there is a change in the air outlet direction, it can be displayed through the indicator 220, which is an intuitive and convenient way for users to obtain information.

[0132] In some embodiments, one indicator 210 can be used to indicate the current air outlet direction of at least two air conditioning outlets 100. Even when there are more air conditioning outlets, the air outlet status can be displayed with as few indicators 210 as possible, so that the number of indicators 210 can be reduced, which has cost advantages.

[0133] The present application also provides a vehicle 1. The specific structure of the vehicle 1 in the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0134] Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle 1 in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle 1 in the present application includes a seat 20, which is provided with at least one. It also includes any one of the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning outlet status indicating devices 10 in the above embodiments, and the seat 20 corresponds to at least one air-conditioning outlet 100 and at least one indicating portion 210.

[0135] In some embodiments, the air-conditioning outlet 100 corresponding to the seat 20 is in an open state, and when a user sits on the seat 20, the indicator 210 corresponding to the seat 20 enters a working state. Thus, by making the indicator 210 enter a working state when the air-conditioning outlet 100 is in an open state and a user sits on the corresponding seat 20, the energy consumption of the indicator 210 can be reduced, saving electric energy. At the same time, making the indicator 210 enter a working state after the user sits down can also facilitate the user to understand the status information of the air-conditioning outlet 100, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0136] Whether there is a user sitting on the seat 20 can be detected by a camera in the vehicle cabin or a pressure sensor provided in the seat cushion, etc., which is not limited here.

[0137] In some embodiments, the indicator 210 is located within the range that can be observed by the user sitting on the seat 20. Thus, by setting the indicator 210 within the range that can be observed by the user's direct line of sight, the driving risk caused by the user lowering his head or shifting his sight to check the status information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be avoided. Thus, the driving safety can be improved and the user's experience can be enhanced. Preferably, the indicator 210 can be set above the air-conditioning outlet 100, so that when the user looks straight ahead, the indicator 210 is close to the center of the user's field of vision, so that the user can see the indicator 210 more clearly when looking straight ahead.

[0138] In some embodiments, the vehicle 1 includes a driver's seat 21, a front passenger seat 22, and a rear seat. The indicator 210 corresponding to the driver's seat 21 is located on the dashboard 30 of the vehicle 1 near the driver's seat 21; or, the indicator 210 corresponding to the front passenger seat 22 is located on the dashboard 30 of the vehicle 1 near the front passenger seat 22 or on the inner side of the door on the side of the front passenger seat 22; or, the indicator 210 corresponding to the rear seat is located on the back of the driver's seat 21 or the front passenger seat 22, or on the inner side of the door closest to the rear seat, or on the rear end of the front center console armrest. In this way, the users of the driver's seat 21, the front passenger seat 22, and the rear seat can more conveniently obtain the air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100, thereby improving the user experience.

[0139] In some embodiments, the vehicle 1 includes a plurality of interior panels 200 corresponding to the plurality of seats 20, and the plurality of indicator parts 210 corresponding to the plurality of seats 20 in the vehicle 1 are arranged on the same interior panel 200, or the plurality of indicator parts 210 corresponding to the plurality of seats 20 in the vehicle 1 are arranged on different interior panels 200, or at least two indicator parts 210 among the plurality of indicator parts 210 corresponding to the plurality of seats 20 in the vehicle 1 are arranged on the same interior panel 200. Thus, the plurality of indicator parts 210 for the plurality of air-conditioning outlets 100 can be respectively located on different interior panels 200, so as to facilitate the respective viewing of each user, or two or more indicator parts 210 can be arranged on the same interior panel 200, so that one user can grasp the status of more indicator parts 210 as a whole, and the selection can be based on different user needs.

[0140] In some embodiments, the vehicle 1 includes a plurality of interior panels 200 corresponding to a plurality of seats 20, and the user can set one or more indicator parts 210 on any one of the plurality of interior panels 200. Specifically, for example, when there are only adults in the vehicle, the indicator parts 210 can be located on the interior panels 200 near each seat 20, and each person can check and adjust them by themselves. If there are children on the seats 20 in the vehicle 1, the adults on other seats 20 need to pay attention to the status of the air outlets corresponding to the children and adjust them in time. At this time, the indicator parts 210 corresponding to the children can be adjusted to the interior panels corresponding to the positions of the seats 20 where the adults are located. Therefore, the position of the indicator part 210 can be set based on the actual needs of the user, so as to meet the different needs of different users and be more humane.

[0141] In some embodiments, the vehicle 1 also includes a control unit (not shown), which is electrically connected to the indicator unit 210. The control unit controls the indicator mark 220 presented by the indicator unit 210 to change accordingly according to status data such as the air outlet direction, air volume and air outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0142] The above contents, combined with Figure 1-Figure 8 The possible embodiments of the vehicle air conditioner air outlet status indicator device 10 and the vehicle 1 in the present application are described. Below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of the vehicle air conditioner air outlet status indicator device 10 and the vehicle 1 in the present application is described in detail in a specific embodiment.

[0143] like Figure 8As shown, the vehicle 1 in the present application includes a driver's seat 21 and a co-pilot seat 22 arranged side by side in the front position of the car of the vehicle 1, and a dashboard 30 is arranged in front of the driver's seat 21 and the co-pilot seat 22. An instrument screen 40 is arranged near the left side of the dashboard 30 (corresponding to the driver's seat 21), and the instrument screen 40 is used to display information such as vehicle speed and fuel quantity. A car screen 50 is arranged in the middle position of the dashboard 30, and the car screen 50 is used to display navigation information, etc., and can also display information related to the air-conditioning outlet. Four air-conditioning outlets 100 are also arranged on the dashboard 30, of which two air-conditioning outlets 100 are located on the dashboard 30 at both sides of the corresponding driver's seat 21 (i.e., at both sides of the instrument screen 40), and the other two air-conditioning outlets 100 are located on the dashboard 30 at both sides of the corresponding co-pilot seat 22. Therefore, after the user sits on the driver's seat 21 and the co-pilot seat 22, there is an air-conditioning outlet 100 on both sides in front of them to blow air to them. The user can adjust the state of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by clicking the corresponding buttons and patterns on the vehicle screen 50, and make the user feel more comfortable by adjusting the air outlet state information such as the air outlet direction, air volume and air outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0144] The instrument panel 30 has an interior panel 200 for decorating the instrument panel 30, and the air-conditioning outlet 100 is arranged on the interior panel 200. The interior panel 200 is provided with an indicator 210 around the air-conditioning outlet 100 at corresponding positions above, below, left and right of the air-conditioning outlet 100. The indicator 210 is formed by an LED light array and has a working state and a dormant state. When the indicator 210 is in the dormant state, the LED lights remain in a completely off state, and the indicator 210 is in a hidden state on the interior panel 200. In this way, electric energy can be saved and the indicator 210 is prevented from affecting the appearance of the interior panel 200. When the indicator 210 is in the working state, the indicator 210 presents an indicator mark 220 by turning on and off the LED lights, and the indicator mark 220 is used to indicate the current state of the air-conditioning outlet 100.

[0145] Specifically, when the air-conditioning outlet 100 is blowing air, and it is detected that a user is sitting in the driver's seat 21 or the front passenger seat 22, the indicator unit 210 around the air-conditioning outlet 100 corresponding to the driver's seat 21 or the front passenger seat 22 where the user is sitting enters a working state. When the air-conditioning outlet 100 is blowing air, but it is not detected that a user is sitting in the driver's seat 21 or the front passenger seat 22, the indicator unit 210 around the corresponding air-conditioning outlet 100 enters a dormant state. When the air-conditioning outlet 100 is blowing air, and it is detected that the user sitting in the driver's seat 21 or the front passenger seat 22 has been sitting for more than a predetermined time (the user can adjust the predetermined time to 1 minute, 2 minutes or other time through the vehicle screen 50), the indicator unit 210 enters a dormant state. When the indicator 210 is in a dormant state, when the user adjusts the air outlet state of an air-conditioning outlet 100, the indicator 210 around the air-conditioning outlet 100 and all the air-conditioning outlets 100 corresponding to the corresponding driver's seat 21 or the front passenger seat 22 all enter the working state. For example, when the user on the front passenger seat 22 adjusts the air outlet state of an air-conditioning outlet 100 corresponding to the front passenger seat 22, the indicator 210 around the two air-conditioning outlets 100 corresponding to the front passenger seat 22 all enter the working state.

[0146] The indicator unit 210 can display a dynamic or static indicator mark 220 by selectively controlling the on and off or the lighting time sequence in the working state, so as to display the air outlet direction, air volume and air outlet temperature of the air conditioning outlet 100 around it. The user can select the form of the indicator mark 220 displayed by the indicator unit 210 in the working state through the vehicle screen 50, and can specifically select Figure 1-Figure 5 , Figure 7 Any one of the display forms of the indication mark 220.

[0147] The user can also select the indicator part 210 that is allowed to enter the working state from the four indicator parts 210 on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the vehicle screen 50, so that one or more of the four indicator parts 210 on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the air-conditioning outlet 100 are allowed to enter the working state, thereby forming a state in the working state as shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 5 , Figure 7 Thus, users can make personalized choices and settings according to their preferences, thereby improving the user experience.

[0148] Figure 1 FIG. 2 shows a specific presentation form of the indicator portion 210 around an air conditioning outlet 100 in a default state. Figure 1As shown, in the default state of the vehicle 1, only the indicator part 210 located below the air-conditioning outlet 100 is allowed to enter the working state to present the indicator mark 220. The indicator mark 220 includes a plurality of first marks 221, the first marks 221 extend along the vehicle height direction Y, and a plurality of the first marks 221 are arranged along the vehicle width direction X. The end of the first mark 221 away from the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be tilted to the left or right following the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100, so as to facilitate the user to confirm whether the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is to the left or to the right.

[0149] The presentation form of the indicator 210 around the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be changed, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the user can set the indicator 210 through the vehicle screen 50, and can select the indicator 210 located at the upper, lower, left, and right of the air-conditioning outlet 100 to allow all to enter the working state to present the indicator 220. The indicator 220 includes a plurality of first indicators 221, wherein the first indicators 221 in the indicator 210 located at the upper and lower positions of the air-conditioning outlet 100 extend along the vehicle height direction Y, and the first indicators 221 are arranged in a plurality along the vehicle width direction X. The end of the first indicator 221 away from the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be tilted to the left or right following the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100, so as to facilitate the user to confirm whether the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is to the left or to the right. The first indicators 221 in the indicator 210 located at the left and right positions of the air-conditioning outlet 100 extend along the vehicle width direction X, and the first indicators 221 are arranged in a plurality along the vehicle height direction Y. The end of the first mark 221 away from the air conditioning outlet 100 can be tilted upward or downward following the air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100, so as to facilitate the user to confirm whether the air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet 100 is upward or downward.

[0150] like Figure 4 As shown, the user can set the indicator 210 through the vehicle screen 50, and can select the indicator 210 on the right side and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 to allow it to enter the working state, and at the same time switch the multiple first identifiers 221 in the indicator 210 to one of the first identifiers 221. Specifically, the first identifier 221 located on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 extends in the up-down direction, and can swing left and right with the upper end as the center. The user can determine the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by the left-right tilting direction of the lower end of the first identifier 221. The first identifier 221 set below the air-conditioning outlet 100 extends in the left-right direction, and can swing up and down with the left end as the center. The user can determine the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by the up and down tilting direction of the right end of the first identifier 221.

[0151] like Figure 5As shown, the user can set the indicator 210 through the vehicle screen 50, and can select the indicator 210 above the air-conditioning outlet 100 to allow it to enter the working state. At the same time, the user can also add a second mark 222 in the indicator 210 through the vehicle screen 50. The second mark 222 is set on the first mark 221. The second mark 222 is located on the first mark 221 in the vehicle height direction Y. It is used to indicate the upper and lower air outlet directions of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Specifically, when the second mark 222 is close to the upper end position of the first mark 221 on the first mark 221, it indicates that the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is tilted upward. When the second mark 222 is close to the lower end position of the first mark 221 on the first mark 221, it indicates that the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is tilted downward. Therefore, by setting the second mark 222 on the first mark 221, the user can obtain the left and right air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the first mark 221, and at the same time, confirm the up and down air outlet information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the height of the second mark 222 on the first mark 221. In this way, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0152] like Figure 7 As shown, the user can set the indicator 210 through the vehicle screen 50, and can select the indicator 210 above and on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 to allow it to enter the working state. At the same time, the user can also replace the first mark 221 in the indicator 210 with the third mark 223 through the vehicle screen 50. The third mark 223 is in the shape of a triangular arrow, and the direction indicated by the arrow of the third mark 223 (the direction in which the width gradually decreases) is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Specifically, as Figure 7 As shown, the arrow direction of the third mark 223 in the indicator portion 210 above the air-conditioning outlet 100 is downward, that is, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is downward. The arrow direction of the third mark 223 in the indicator portion 210 on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is rightward, that is, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is rightward.

[0153] like Figure 7 As shown, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet 100 can also be indicated according to the tilt direction of one end of the arrow of the third mark 223 (the end with a smaller width). Figure 7As shown in , the user determines that the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is tilted to the right by the arrow of the third mark 223 above the air-conditioning outlet 100 tilting to the right. The user determines that the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is tilted downward by the arrow of the third mark 223 on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 tilting downward. In this way, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0154] Furthermore, the size of the first mark 221 and the third mark 223 can also indicate the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Specifically, the size of the first mark 221 includes any one or more forms of the area, length, and width of the first mark 221, and the user can select the display form of the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the vehicle screen 50. For example, the user can choose to determine the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the length of the first mark 221 and the third mark 223. The longer the length of the first mark 221 and the third mark 223, the greater the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Therefore, the size of the first mark 221 can enable the user to more intuitively obtain the air volume information of the air-conditioning outlet 100. In addition, the air volume information can be displayed through the first mark 221 and the third mark 223 while displaying the air direction. Therefore, the amount of status information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0155] Furthermore, the outlet air temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can also be indicated by the color of the indicator 220, and the different colors displayed by the indicator 220 correspond to different outlet air temperatures of the air-conditioning outlet 100. For example, when the outlet air temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is lower than the temperature in the car, the color of the indicator 220 is blue, and the lower the temperature, the darker the blue color of the indicator 220. When the outlet air temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is greater than or equal to the temperature in the car, the color of the indicator 220 is red, and the higher the temperature, the darker the red color of the indicator 220. Thus, the user can determine the outlet air temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by the color of the indicator 220, so that the outlet air temperature information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be more intuitively displayed to the user, so as to facilitate the user to confirm the outlet air temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100. It is also possible to increase the types of status information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 contained in the indicator 220, reduce the number of times to look down when viewing parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user's experience.

[0156] Furthermore, when the user selects the display pattern of the indicator 210 through the vehicle screen 50, the user can also select a fourth identifier (not shown) of flowing display, swinging display or rotating display. Specifically, the fourth identifier can be a graphic shape that can indicate direction, such as a colorful flag, a streamer, a windmill, a water flow, a wind pattern, etc. The flowing, swinging or rotating direction corresponding to the fourth identifier is used to indicate the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. Therefore, the indicator 210 dynamically indicates the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 through the fourth identifier of flowing display, swinging display, and rotating display, so that the user can easily confirm the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 and improve the user experience.

[0157] In combination with the above description and the accompanying drawings, it can be seen that in one embodiment of the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning outlet state indicating device 10 and the vehicle 1 of the present application, the vehicle-mounted air-conditioning outlet state indicating device 10 includes an air-conditioning outlet 100 and an interior panel 200. Among them, the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is variable, and the interior panel 200 has an indicating portion 210, and the indicating portion 210 presents an indicating mark 220 in the working state. The indicating mark 220 is used to indicate the current air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. When the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 changes, the indicating mark 220 also changes. Therefore, by setting the indicating portion 210 on the interior panel 200, the indicating mark 220 indicates the air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100, so that the display of the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be separated from the vehicle screen 50, so as to avoid interference to the user caused by other information in the vehicle screen 50. The user can directly obtain the air outlet direction information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the indicating mark 220, without having to distinguish among a lot of information. In this way, the user can conveniently obtain the status parameters of the air-conditioning outlet 100, reduce the number of times the user lowers his head when checking the parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user experience.

[0158] The indicator mark 220 includes a plurality of first marks 221 extending in the vehicle height direction Y. The tilt direction of the first marks 221 extending in the vehicle height direction Y relative to the vehicle width direction X indicates the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. When the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 shifts to the right, the first marks 221 located above and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 will rotate accordingly. The upper end of the first mark 221 located above the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt to the right, and the lower end of the first mark 221 located below the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt to the right. Thus, the user can confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the left and right tilt directions of the first marks 221, thereby facilitating the user to confirm the left and right air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 and improving the user experience.

[0159] The indicator mark 220 includes a plurality of first marks 221 extending in the vehicle width direction X. The tilt direction of the first marks 221 extending in the vehicle width direction X relative to the vehicle height direction Y indicates the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100. When the wind direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 deviates downward, the first marks 221 located above and below the air-conditioning outlet 100 will rotate accordingly, the left end of the first mark 221 located on the left side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt downward, and the right end of the first mark 221 located on the right side of the air-conditioning outlet 100 will tilt downward. Thus, the user can confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 according to the up and down tilt direction of the first marks 221, thereby facilitating the user to confirm the up and down air outlet direction of the air-conditioning outlet 100 and improving the user experience.

[0160] In addition, the length of the first mark 221 can change with the size of the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100. The larger the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet 100, the longer the length of the first mark 221. In this way, the amount of air outlet status information obtained by the user at the same time can be increased, the number of times the user lowers his head when checking parameters can be reduced, the driving safety can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

[0161] At the same time, the color of the first mark 221 can change with the outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100. When the outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is lower than the temperature in the car, the color of the first mark 221 is blue, and the lower the temperature, the darker the blue color of the first mark 221. When the outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100 is greater than or equal to the temperature in the car, the color of the first mark 221 is red, and the higher the temperature, the darker the red color of the first mark 221. Thus, the user can determine the outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100 by the color of the first mark 221, so that the outlet temperature information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 can be displayed to the user more intuitively, so as to facilitate the user to confirm the outlet temperature of the air-conditioning outlet 100. It is also possible to increase the types of status information of the air-conditioning outlet 100 contained in the first mark 221, reduce the number of times to look down when checking parameters, improve driving safety, and enhance the user's experience.

[0162] In the above embodiments, the air-conditioning vents are described as being arranged on the dashboard; however, the present application is not limited thereto, and may also be applicable to, for example, an air-conditioning vent structure arranged on a front panel in front of the legs of an occupant, or an air-conditioning vent structure arranged on the inner walls of a cabin on the left and right sides of the occupant. In this case, an indicator mark indicating the air outlet direction is presented on the interior trim panel of the cabin around the air-conditioning vents to improve the user experience.

[0163] Note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
