DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0032] Embodiment 1: Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, an air-conditioning outlet assembly includes:

[0033] A driving element 100;

[0034] The clutch element is connected to the driving element 100, and the clutch element includes an input shaft, a first output shaft 101 and a second output shaft, and a transmission assembly is arranged between the input shaft and the first output shaft 101 and the second output shaft to realize power transmission; a track portion 102 with a closed track path and surrounding the side is arranged on the side of the first output shaft 101;

[0035] The air outlet adjustment mechanism includes a first air outlet adjustment part 200 and a second air outlet adjustment part 201 which operate independently; the first air outlet adjustment part 200 includes a first air guide blade 202, and the rotation axis of the first air guide blade 202 is perpendicular to the axis of the first output shaft 101;

[0036] The transmission mechanism includes a first transmission member 300 and a second transmission member 400. The first transmission member 300 is arranged between the first air guide blade 202 and the first output shaft 101 and is limited to be able to move linearly only along the axial direction of the first output shaft 101. The first end of the first transmission member 300 is connected to the track portion 102 and can move along the track portion 102. The second end of the first transmission member 300 is connected to the first air guide blade 202, and the first transmission member 300 can drive the first air guide blade 202 to rotate when moving linearly. The second transmission member 400 is transmission-arranged between the second air outlet adjustment portion 201 and the second output shaft.

[0037] Among them, when the input shaft rotates along the first direction, it only drives the first output shaft 101 to rotate synchronously, the trajectory part 102 rotates synchronously with the first output shaft 101 and drives the first transmission member 300 to move in a straight line, and the straight line movement of the first transmission member 300 drives the first air guide blade 202 to rotate to realize the swing adjustment of the first air outlet adjustment part 200; when the input shaft rotates along the second direction, it only drives the second output shaft to rotate synchronously, and the second output shaft transmits power to the second air outlet adjustment part 201 through the second transmission member 400 to realize the swing adjustment of the second air outlet adjustment part 201.

[0038] In the present embodiment, a set of driving units can realize the adjustment of the wind direction of the air blowing of the first air outlet adjustment part 200 and the second air outlet adjustment part 201 which move independently of each other, thereby reducing the cost of the air-conditioning outlet assembly; and the first air outlet adjustment part 200 includes a first air guide blade 202, and the rotation axis of the first air guide blade 202 is perpendicular to the axis of the first output shaft 101, that is, the swing direction of the first air guide blade 202 and the rotation direction of the first output shaft 101 are located on two mutually perpendicular planes, so that the first output shaft 101 can rotate to allow the first air guide blade 202 to swing, thereby realizing the reversal of the transmission force, which can effectively reduce the size of the air-conditioning outlet, thereby reducing the space occupied by the air-conditioning outlet assembly inside the vehicle.

[0039] Specifically, the first wind guide blade 202 includes a shaft portion 204, a gear portion 205 is disposed on the outer circumference of the shaft portion 204, a rack portion 301 is disposed on the second end of the first transmission member 300, and the gear portion 205 is meshedly connected with the rack portion 301 to achieve power transmission.

[0040] In this embodiment, the meshing transmission between the gear portion 205 and the rack portion 301 can achieve more precise position control, more accurate linear motion conversion, and the direct contact between the gear and the rack can achieve more efficient force transmission and reduce energy loss.

[0041] Specifically, the track portion 102 is a track groove 103, and a linkage column 302 that can extend into the track groove 103 is provided on the first end of the first transmission member 300. As the first output shaft 101 rotates, the track groove 103 rotates synchronously therewith. Since the first transmission member 300 can only move in a straight line direction, as the track groove 103 moves, the connection position of the linkage column 302 and the track groove 103 changes, thereby controlling the first transmission member 300 to move in a straight line.

[0042] Preferably, the track portion 102 includes at least one direct blowing wind node, and when the first transmission member 300 runs to the direct blowing wind node position, the first air outlet adjustment portion 200 maintains the direct blowing state; when the first transmission member 300 runs to other positions on the track portion 102, the first air guide blade 202 is adjusted accordingly to achieve swing guidance of the wind direction of the blown air; the track portion 102 includes at least four node positions, and the four node positions are respectively configured as the first extreme air outlet node 303, the first direct blowing node 304, the second extreme air outlet node 305 and the second direct blowing node, and the first direct blowing node 304 and the second direct blowing node are symmetrically arranged around the rotation axis of the track portion 102; along the linear moving direction of the first transmission member 300, the first extreme air outlet node 303 and the second extreme air outlet node 305 are respectively located on both sides of the first direct blowing node 304.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, as an optional solution, the track portion 102 includes four node positions, and the four node positions are respectively configured as a first extreme wind outlet node 303, a first straight wind node 304, a second extreme wind outlet node 305 and a second straight wind node. When the linkage column 302 moves to the first straight wind node 304 and the second straight wind node position, the first air guide blade 202 remains in the straight wind state, and the first air guide blade 202 can guide the wind direction in the left and right directions. Then, when the linkage column 302 runs to the first extreme wind outlet node 303, the first air guide blade 202 discharges air to the right extreme, and when it runs to the second extreme wind outlet adjustment, the first air guide blade 202 discharges air to the left extreme.

[0044] Specifically, a driving column 104 is provided on the first output shaft 101, and two track walls 105 are provided on the driving column 104. A gap is provided between the two track walls 105 to form a track groove 103. The linkage column 302 extends into the track groove 103. As the track groove 103 rotates, the connection position between the linkage column 302 and the track groove 103 changes, prompting the linkage column 302 to move.

[0045] Specifically, the second transmission member 400 includes a transmission crank 401, a transmission groove 402 is arranged on the transmission crank 401, a transmission part 403 is eccentrically arranged on the second output shaft, the transmission part 403 extends into the transmission groove 402, and the transmission part 403 can move in the transmission groove 402; the end of the transmission crank 401 is fixed to the second air outlet adjustment part 201.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second air outlet adjustment part 201 includes a second air guide blade 203, and the rotation axis of the second air guide blade 203 is parallel to the rotation axis of the second output shaft. Then, as the second output shaft rotates, the second air guide blade 203 can directly swing synchronously therewith.

[0047] Preferably, a housing 500 is further included, in which a limiting portion 501 for accommodating the first transmission member 300 is disposed. The limiting portion 501 is connected to the first transmission member 300 to limit the first transmission member 300 to move only in a linear direction.

[0048] Specifically, a limiting groove 502 extending in a straight direction is provided on the limiting portion 501 , and the first transmission member 300 is located in the limiting groove 502 ; and an anti-drop buckle portion 503 is provided on the limiting portion 501 and can be buckled on the first transmission member 300 .

[0049] In this embodiment, a limiting portion 501 is provided in the shell 500, and a limiting groove 502 extending in a straight direction is provided on the limiting portion 501. The first transmission member 300 is located in the limiting groove 502, and an anti-dropping buckle portion 503 is provided on the limiting portion 501 to be buckled on the first transmission member 300 to prevent it from falling out of the limiting groove 502 during the straight-line movement.

[0050] Embodiment 2, as Figure 7 As shown, the rest of the structure is the same as that of the first embodiment, with the only difference being that the second transmission member 400 includes a driving gear 404 that is transmission-connected to the second output shaft, a transmission gear 405 is fixedly provided on the second air outlet adjustment portion 201, and the driving gear 404 meshes with the transmission gear 405 to achieve power transmission.

[0051] In this embodiment, the swing of the second air guide blade 203 can also be achieved through the meshing force between gears. The meshing force between gears is used to achieve more precise position control and more efficient force transmission, thereby reducing energy loss.

[0052] A vehicle comprises the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet assembly.
