Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, and in particular to an air-conditioning outlet assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle air outlet assembly is an important part of the vehicle air conditioning system. It is responsible for distributing the air (such as cooled or heated air) processed by the air conditioning system to different areas in the vehicle. Generally speaking, whether it is in the air outlet state or the closed state, the air passage of the air conditioning outlet is connected to the interior space of the vehicle. This means that when the air conditioning outlet assembly is in the closed state, dust, dirt or solid particles in the vehicle or outside will be deposited in the air passage. These dirt are not only difficult to handle but may also have odors. For example, if the owner is a smoker, then after the vehicle is used for a long time, the air passage of the air conditioning outlet will absorb or deposit soot and tar in the smoke, which will cause the air in the car to have a long-term smell of smoke. In addition, when the air conditioning outlet is suddenly used after being unused for a long time, the air flow blown out of the air conditioning outlet may also blow the dust deposited on the surface of the air passage into the car, polluting the air in the car.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] 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.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, in this solution, the application of the electric air outlet in the vehicle and the specific structure are mainly described in detail, wherein the vehicle can be a car, a bus, a train, a light rail or a truck, etc.

[0054] An air outlet assembly for air conditioning is connected to an automobile air duct and is used to introduce airflow in the automobile air duct into a vehicle compartment. The air outlet assembly comprises an outer shell 100, an inner shell 200, a wind direction adjustment mechanism, and a control mechanism.

[0055] Specifically, the outer shell 100 is preferably a shell-like structure with openings at both ends, and an air duct space is formed inside the outer shell 100. The inner shell 200 is arranged in the outer shell 100. The connection between the inner shell 200 and the outer shell 100 can be achieved by snap-on, threaded connection or a combination of the two. The inner shell 200 is used to distinguish the air duct space inside the outer shell 100, and the air duct space includes two air outlet channels, a first air outlet channel 110 and a second air outlet channel 120. One ends of the two air outlet channels are connected to form an air inlet channel 130. The air inlet channel 130 is connected to the automobile air duct and is responsible for introducing the airflow in the automobile air duct into the air duct space inside the outer shell 100. The other end faces the vehicle compartment. The first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are respectively controlled by a first damper cover 400 arranged at an end of the first air outlet channel 110 away from the air inlet channel 130, and a second damper cover 500 arranged at an end of the second air outlet channel 120 away from the air inlet channel 130 to control their closing and opening size.

[0056] The control mechanism is connected to the outer shell 100 and is in transmission connection with the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500, and is used to drive the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 to move in the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 respectively, and the control mechanism can only control the movement of one of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 at the same time, and the movement stroke of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 controlled by the control mechanism includes a connected air adjustment stroke and an air closing stroke;

[0057] When in the air adjustment stroke, one of the first air damper cover 400 and the second air damper cover 500 is in the fully open position and the other is movable, and the air flow ratio between the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 is adjusted according to the positions of the first air damper cover 400 and the second air damper cover 500; when in the air closing stroke, one of the first air damper cover 400 and the second air damper cover 500 is in the closed position and the other is movable.

[0058] by Figure 4Taking the state shown as an example, when the movement stroke of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 is the air adjustment stroke, the second damper cover 500 in the second air outlet channel 120 remains stationary, while the first damper cover 400 in the first air outlet channel 110 moves in the first air outlet channel 110. Because the second air outlet channel 120 remains in a fully open state, before the first damper cover 400 moves to fully open the first air outlet channel 110, most of the airflow entering the air duct space from the air inlet channel 130 will flow into the car through the second air outlet channel 120, and the remaining airflow will flow into the car through the first air outlet channel 110. Since most of the airflow passes through the second air outlet channel 120, the airflow direction in the car is toward Figure 4 If the opening of the first air outlet 110 gradually decreases, the air in the vehicle compartment will be biased towards Figure 4 On the contrary, if the opening of the first air outlet channel 110 is gradually increased, the airflow in the vehicle compartment will gradually increase. Figure 4 The airflow on the upper right side will gradually weaken.

[0059] Again Figure 4 For example, when the movement stroke of the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 is the air closing stroke, the first air door cover 400 in the first air outlet channel 110 remains stationary, so that the first air outlet channel 110 remains closed, and the second air door cover 500 in the second air outlet channel 120 moves in the second air outlet channel 120. Since the first air outlet channel 110 is completely closed, all airflows entering the air duct space from the air inlet channel 130 will flow into the vehicle compartment through the second air outlet channel 120, resulting in the airflow direction in the vehicle compartment being toward Figure 4 If the opening of the second air outlet channel 120 is gradually reduced, the airflow intensity in the vehicle compartment will gradually weaken until the second air outlet channel 120 is completely closed; on the contrary, if the opening of the first air outlet channel 110 is gradually increased (i.e., gradually opened from a closed state), the airflow intensity in the vehicle compartment will gradually increase.

[0060] In the present solution, a first air outlet channel 110 and a second air outlet channel 120 are mainly arranged between an outer shell 100 and an inner shell 200, and a first damper cover 400 and a second damper cover 500 are respectively arranged in the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120. A driving mechanism is used to control only the movement of the first damper cover 400 or the second damper cover 500 at the same time, so as to adjust the air flow ratio between the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 and thus adjust the wind direction of the air outlet. Meanwhile, when no air is discharged from the first air outlet channel 110 or the second air outlet channel 120, the first damper cover 400 or the second damper cover 500 can close the channel to prevent external dirt from entering and being deposited in the air channel.

[0061] The first damper cover 400 includes a first appearance surface 410. When the first damper cover 400 is in a closed position, the first appearance surface 410 on the first damper cover 400 is located outside the first air outlet channel 110 and is flush with the end surface of the outer shell 100.

[0062] The second damper cover 500 includes a second appearance surface 510 . When the second damper cover 500 is in the closed position, the second appearance surface 510 on the second damper cover 500 is located outside the second air outlet channel 120 and is flush with the end surface of the outer shell 100 .

[0063] The first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are provided with a first air door cover 400 and a second air door cover 500, and one end of these air door covers faces the vehicle compartment. When the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are closed, the first appearance surface 410 and the second appearance surface 510 will remain flush with the end surface of the outer shell 100, so that the appearance of the outer shell 100 facing the vehicle compartment can be more coordinated and beautiful, meeting the use needs of drivers and passengers.

[0064] In one embodiment, the control mechanism can control the rotational movement of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500; the first damper cover 400 also includes a first air guide surface 420, when the first damper cover 400 is in a non-closed position, the channel wall of the first air outlet channel 110 includes the first air guide surface 420, and the air outlet direction of the first air outlet channel 110 is adjusted according to the position of the first air guide surface 420; the second damper cover 500 also includes a second air guide surface 520; when the second damper cover 500 is in a non-closed position, the channel wall of the second air outlet channel 120 includes the second air guide surface 520, and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet channel 120 is adjusted according to the position of the second air guide surface 520.

[0065] Preferably, the first air guide surface 420 is adjacent to the first appearance surface 410 and is arranged at an angle, and the transition between the two is smooth; the second air guide surface 520 is also adjacent to the second appearance surface 510 and is arranged at an angle, and the transition between the two is also smooth. When the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are in the non-closed position, the first air guide surface 420 and the second air guide surface 520 respectively constitute a part of the channel wall of the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120. The purpose of such a design is to more accurately control the airflow rate of the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 when the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are rotated.

[0066] In one embodiment, the air outlet assembly includes at least an upper air outlet state, an air gathering state, a lower air outlet state and a closed state.

[0067] Reference Figure 4When the air outlet assembly is in the upper air outlet state, the first air door cover 400 is located at the closing position of the first air outlet channel 110, and the second air door cover 500 is located at the maximum opening position of the second air outlet channel 120. In this state:

[0068] When the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are in the air adjustment stroke, the second damper cover 500 remains stationary, and the first damper cover 400 rotates from the closed position to other positions, so that the first air outlet channel 110 is gradually opened and finally switched to the position as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are shown in a state where both are fully opened;

[0069] When the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are in the air closing stroke, the first damper cover 400 remains stationary, and the second damper cover 500 rotates from the maximum open position to other positions, so that the second air outlet channel 120 is gradually closed and finally switched to the position as shown in FIG. Fig.13 The first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are both in a closed state.

[0070] Reference Figure 7 When the air outlet assembly is in the wind gathering state, the first air door cover 400 is located at the maximum opening position of the first air outlet channel 110, and the second air door cover 500 is located at the maximum opening position of the second air outlet channel 120. This state is that the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are in the limit state of the air adjustment stroke. At this time, the airflow entering from the air inlet channel 130 will be equally divided into two parts, entering the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 respectively, and then converge at the end of the outer shell 100 facing the car. Since the airflow channels on both sides are the same, the airflow will flow along Figure 7 When the first air door cover 400 or the second air door cover 500 starts to move, the airflow in one of the air outlet channels gradually weakens, causing the airflow direction in the vehicle compartment to start turning. Figure 7 upper right or lower right of .

[0071] Reference Fig.10 When the air outlet assembly is in the downward air outlet state, the first air door cover 400 is located at the maximum open position of the first air outlet channel 110, and the second air door cover 500 is located at the closed position of the second air outlet channel 120. In this state:

[0072] When the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are in the air adjustment stroke, the first damper cover 400 remains stationary, and the second damper cover 500 rotates from the closed position to another position, so that the second air outlet channel 120 is gradually opened and finally switched to Figure 7 The first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are shown in a state where both are fully opened;

[0073] When the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are in the air closing stroke, the second damper cover 500 remains stationary, and the first damper cover 400 rotates from the maximum open position to other positions, so that the first air outlet channel 110 is gradually closed and finally switched to the position as shown in FIG. Fig.13 The first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are both in a closed state.

[0074] Reference Fig.13 When the air outlet assembly is in the closed state, the first air door cover 400 is located at the closed position of the first air outlet channel 110, and the second air door cover 500 is located at the closed position of the second air outlet channel 120. This state is the limit state of the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 in the closed air stroke. At this time, the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are both in the closed state. When the first air door cover 400 or the second air door cover 500 starts to move, the airflow of one of the air outlet channels gradually increases, causing the airflow direction in the vehicle compartment to begin to turn. Fig.13 upper right or lower right of .

[0075] In one embodiment, the control mechanism includes:

[0076] The driving disk 600 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 100; the first driven wheel 701 and the second driven wheel 702 are rotatably connected to the outer shell 100, and the rotating shafts of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are respectively connected to a first driven wheel 701 and a second driven wheel 702 that rotate synchronously; the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are rotatably arranged on the outer shell 100, and the first ends of the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are both connected to the driving disk 600, and the second ends of the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are respectively connected to the first driven wheel 701 and the second driven wheel 702, and the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are respectively connected to the first driven wheel 701 and the second driven wheel 702. The connection between them can be achieved by arranging a first gear portion and a second gear portion on the second ends of the first crank 801 and the second crank 802, respectively. Through the mutual meshing of the first gear portion and the first driven wheel 701, and the mutual meshing of the second gear portion and the second driven wheel 702, when the driving disk 600 drives the first driven wheel 701 and the second driven wheel 702 to rotate, the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are respectively driven to rotate on the outer shell 100; when the driving disk 600 rotates, it can drive the first crank 801 or the second crank 802 to rotate, and then drive the first driven wheel 701 or the second driven wheel 702 to rotate, and finally drive the first damper cover 400 or the second damper cover 500 to rotate in the first air outlet channel 110 or the second air outlet channel 120.

[0077] In one embodiment, a driving groove 610 is provided on the driving disk 600, and a first boss 803 and a second boss 804 movably inserted in the driving groove 610 are respectively provided on the first crank 801 and the second crank 802. When the driving disk 600 rotates, the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are driven to move on the outer shell 100 through the first boss 803 and the second boss 804.

[0078] The driving disk 600 is preferably made of plastic (or metal), and the driving groove 610 thereon is integrally formed with the driving disk 600. The first boss 803 and the first crank 801, as well as the second boss 804 and the second crank 802 can be integrally formed, or can be connected by threaded connection, snap-on connection, or a combination of threaded connection and snap-on connection.

[0079] In one embodiment, the control mechanism further includes: a driving motor for driving the driving disk 600 to rotate, preferably a servo motor, because the servo motor has higher control accuracy and response speed, and can ensure the accurate position of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 after rotation. The driving slot 610 is formed around the axis of the driving disk 600, and its trajectory path is closed. Such a design ensures that even when the driving motor drives the driving disk 600 to rotate in one direction, it can effectively drive the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 to rotate.

[0080] In one embodiment, the driving disk 600 has a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction on the outer shell 100, the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite, and along the first rotation direction, the driving groove 610 includes a first arc groove segment 611, a first push groove segment 612, a second arc groove segment 613 and a second push groove segment 614 which are connected in sequence, wherein the center of the first arc groove segment 611 and the second arc groove segment 613 coincide with the rotation center of the driving disk 600, and along the first rotation direction, the maximum distance between the first push groove segment 612 and the rotation center of the driving disk 600 gradually decreases, and the maximum distance between the second push groove segment 614 and the rotation center of the driving disk 600 gradually increases, and when one of the bosses is located at the starting end of any slot segment, the other boss is located at the starting end of the adjacent slot segment of the slot segment.

Figure 3 When the driving disk 600 rotates counterclockwise, it is defined as the second rotation direction of the driving disk 600.

[0082] exist Figure 3In the state shown, along the first rotation direction, the first convex column 803 is located at the starting end of the second push slot segment 614, and the second convex column 804 is located at the starting end of the first arc slot segment 611. At this time, the states of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the first damper cover 400 is in a closed position, and the second damper cover 500 is in a maximum open position.

[0083] When the driving disk 600 rotates in the first direction, the first boss 803 slides from the starting end of the second push groove section 614 to the starting end of the second arc groove section 613, passing through the entire second push groove section 614; the second boss 804 slides from the starting end of the first arc groove section 611 to the starting end of the second push groove section 614, passing through the entire first arc groove section 611. Since the center of the first arc groove section 611 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disk 600, when the second boss 804 passes through the entire first arc groove section 611, the second crank 802 will not rotate on the outer shell 100, so the second damper cover 500 continues to remain in the maximum open position. In the first rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second push groove section 614 and the rotation center gradually increases. As the driving disk 600 rotates, the side wall of the second push groove section 614 drives the first crank 801 to rotate in accordance with the first arc groove section 611 by pushing the first boss 803. Figure 3 When the first crank 801 rotates counterclockwise, the first damper cover 400 is driven to rotate clockwise through the first driven wheel 701, so that the first damper cover 400 rotates counterclockwise. Figure 4 In the closed position shown, turn to Figure 7 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive disk 600 becomes Figure 6 Status shown.

[0084] Similarly, when the driving disk 600 rotates in the second direction, along the second rotation direction, the first boss 803 slides from the starting end of the first arc groove section 611 to the starting end of the first push groove section 612, passing through the entire first arc groove section 611; the second boss 804 slides from the starting end of the first push groove section 612 to the starting end of the second arc groove section 613, passing through the entire first push groove section 612. Since the center of the first arc groove section 611 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disk 600, when the first boss 803 passes through the entire first arc groove section 611, the first crank 801 will not rotate on the outer shell 100, so the first damper cover 400 continues to remain in the closed position. In the second rotation direction, the maximum distance between the first push groove section 612 and the rotation center of the driving disk 600 gradually increases. As the driving disk 600 rotates, the side wall of the first push groove section 612 drives the second crank 802 to rotate in accordance with the first arc groove section 611 by pushing the second boss 804. Figure 3When the second crank 802 rotates counterclockwise, the second damper cover 500 is driven to rotate clockwise through the second driven wheel 702, so that the second damper cover 500 rotates counterclockwise. Figure 4 The maximum opening position shown is Fig.13 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive disk 600 becomes Fig.12 Status shown.

[0085] When the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the driving plate 600 are in the Figure 6 In the state shown, along the first rotation direction, the first boss 803 is located at the starting end of the second arc slot segment 613, and the first damper cover 400 is in the maximum open position; the second boss 804 is located at the starting end of the second push slot segment 614, and the second damper cover 500 is in the maximum open position.

[0086] When the drive disk 600 is rotated in the first direction, Figure 6 When rotating in the clockwise direction as shown, the first boss 803 slides from the starting end of the second arc groove section 613 to the starting end of the first push groove section 612, passing through the entire second arc groove section 613; the second boss 804 slides from the starting end of the second push groove section 614 to the starting end of the second arc groove section 613, passing through the entire second push groove section 614. Since the center of the second arc groove section 613 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disk 600, when the first boss 803 passes through the entire second arc groove section 613, the first crank 801 remains stationary, so the first damper cover 400 remains in the maximum open position. In the first rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second push groove section 614 and the rotation center of the driving disk 600 gradually increases. As the driving disk 600 rotates, the side wall of the second push groove section 614 drives the second crank 802 along by pushing the second boss 804. Figure 6 When the second crank 802 rotates counterclockwise, the second damper cover 500 is driven by the second driven wheel 702 to rotate counterclockwise. Figure 6 The second air door cover 500 is rotated clockwise to move from Figure 7 Turn to the maximum opening position shown. Fig.10 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive disk 600 becomes Fig. 9 Status shown.

[0087] Similarly, when the drive disk 600 is rotated in the second direction, i.e. Figure 6When rotating in the counterclockwise direction as shown, along the second rotation direction, the first boss 803 slides from the starting end of the second push groove section 614 to the starting end of the first arc groove section 611, passing through the entire second push groove section 614; the second boss 804 slides from the starting end of the first arc groove section 611 to the starting end of the first push groove section 612, passing through the entire first arc groove section 611. Since the center of the first arc groove section 611 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disk 600, when the second boss 804 passes through the entire first arc groove section 611, the second crank 802 remains stationary, so the second damper cover 500 remains in the maximum open position. In the second rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second push groove section 614 and the rotation center of the driving disk 600 gradually decreases. As the driving disk 600 rotates, the side wall of the second push groove section 614 drives the first crank 801 along the rotation center by pushing the first boss 803. Figure 6 When the first crank 801 rotates clockwise, the first damper cover 400 is driven by the first driven wheel 701 to rotate clockwise. Figure 6 The first air door cover 400 is rotated counterclockwise to move from Figure 7 Turn to the maximum opening position shown. Figure 4 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive disk 600 becomes Figure 3 Status shown.

[0088] When the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the driving plate 600 are in the Fig. 9 In the state shown, along the first rotation direction, the first boss 803 is located at the starting end of the first push slot segment 612, and the first damper cover 400 is in the maximum open position; the second boss 804 is located at the starting end of the second arc slot segment 613, and the second damper cover 500 is in the closed position.

[0089] When the drive disk 600 is rotated in the first direction, Fig. 9 When rotating in the clockwise direction as shown, the first boss 803 slides from the starting end of the first push groove section 612 to the starting end of the first arc groove section 611, passing through the entire first push groove section 612; the second boss 804 slides from the starting end of the second arc groove section 613 to the starting end of the first push groove section 612, passing through the entire second arc groove section 613. Since the center of the second arc groove section 613 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disk 600, when the second boss 804 passes through the entire second arc groove section 613, the second crank 802 remains stationary, so the second damper cover 500 remains in the closed position. In the first rotation direction, the maximum distance between the first push groove section 612 and the rotation center of the driving disk 600 gradually decreases. As the driving disk 600 rotates, the side wall of the first push groove section 612 drives the first crank 801 along the first push groove section 612 by pushing the first boss 803. Fig. 9When the first crank 801 rotates clockwise, the first damper cover 400 is driven by the first driven wheel 701 to rotate clockwise. Fig. 9 The first air door cover 400 is rotated counterclockwise to move from Fig.10 Turn to the maximum opening position shown. Fig.13 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive disk 600 becomes Fig.12 Status shown.

[0090] Similarly, when the drive disk 600 is rotated in the second direction, i.e. Fig. 9 When rotating in the counterclockwise direction as shown, along the second rotation direction, the first boss 803 slides from the starting end of the second arc groove segment 613 to the starting end of the second push groove segment 614, passing through the entire second arc groove segment 613; the second boss 804 slides from the starting end of the second push groove segment 614 to the starting end of the first arc groove segment 611, passing through the entire second push groove segment 614. Since the center of the second arc groove segment 613 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disk 600, when the first boss 803 passes through the entire second arc groove segment 613, the first crank 801 remains stationary, so the first damper cover 400 remains in the maximum open position. In the second rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second push groove segment 614 and the rotation center of the driving disk 600 gradually decreases. As the driving disk 600 rotates, the side wall of the second push groove segment 614 drives the second crank 802 along the rotation center by pushing the second boss 804. Fig. 9 When the second crank 802 rotates clockwise, the second damper cover 500 is driven along the second driven wheel 702. Fig. 9 The second air door cover 500 is rotated counterclockwise to move from Fig.10 Turn to the closed position shown Figure 7 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive disk 600 becomes Figure 6 Status shown.

[0091] In one embodiment, the air outlet assembly also includes a diverter plate 900, which is rotatably disposed in the air inlet channel 130, and the control mechanism is transmission-connected to the diverter plate 900; when in the air adjustment stroke, the air inlet flow ratio between the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 is adjusted according to the position of the diverter plate 900, and the smaller the opening of the first air outlet channel 110 or the second air outlet channel 120, the smaller the air inlet flow.

[0092] Reference Fig.16At this time, the air outlet assembly is in the upper air outlet state, the first air door cover 400 rotates until the first exterior surface 410 is flush with the end of the outer shell 100 facing the vehicle compartment, and the first air outlet channel 110 is closed; the second air door cover 500 is in the maximum open position, and the second air outlet channel 120 is open. At this time, the diverter plate 900 blocks the air inlet channel 130 and the first air outlet channel 110, allowing the airflow to enter the vehicle compartment after passing through the second air outlet channel 120. When the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 are in the air adjustment stroke, the first air door cover 400 begins to follow Fig.16 As shown, the diverter plate 900 rotates clockwise. Fig.16 The counterclockwise rotation shown in the figure allows part of the airflow to enter the first air outlet channel 110 to achieve airflow distribution. The transmission wheel connection between the splitter plate 900 and the control mechanism belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0093] Theoretically, when Figure 7 Horizontal airflow direction to Fig.10 In the process of changing the wind direction under the limit, it is ideal that the opening size of the second air outlet channel 120 and the wind direction change in linear proportion. For example, the opening size of the second air outlet channel 120 is 90%, that is, it is closed by 10%, and the corresponding wind direction of the air outlet should change from the horizontal wind direction to the wind direction under the limit by 10%. However, due to the diversity of air outlet structures and many factors affecting airflow, it is difficult to achieve linear changes. In some manual air outlet structures, the user may adjust the angle downward by 20% through the dial button, but the actual wind direction only changes downward by 15% or even less than 10%. In order to compensate for this defect, the present embodiment additionally adds a diverter plate 900, and the diverter plate 900 can adjust the air flow ratio between the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120. That is, when the user adjusts the angle downward by 20% through the dial button, the added diverter plate 900 can reduce the air flow of the second air outlet channel 120 and increase the air flow of the first air outlet channel 110, thereby increasing the amplitude of the downward change of the wind direction; in the present embodiment, when the diverter plate 900 is at the extreme angle, the diverter plate 900 can completely or partially close the first air outlet channel 110 or the second air outlet channel 120, and can be designed according to the actual structure of the air outlet.
