Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The vehicle-mounted air outlet assembly is an important component of the automobile air conditioning system, which is responsible for distributing the air processed by the air conditioning system (such as cooled or heated air) to different areas in the vehicle. Generally speaking, whether in the air outlet state or in the closed state, the air channel of the air conditioner air outlet is in communication with the vehicle interior space, which leads to the deposition of dust, dirt or solid particles from the vehicle interior or the outside environment in the air channel when the air conditioner air outlet assembly is in the closed state. These contaminants are not only difficult to handle but also may have an odor. For example, if the vehicle owner is a smoker, the air channel of the air conditioner air outlet will adsorb or deposit soot and tar from the smoke, thereby causing the vehicle interior air to have a smoke odor for a long time. In addition, when the air conditioner air outlet is suddenly used after a long period of non-use, the airflow blown by the air conditioner air outlet may also blow the dust deposited on the surface of the air channel into the vehicle interior, polluting the vehicle interior air.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application and further describes the technical solutions of the present application in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.​​​​​​

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

[0054] An air conditioning air outlet assembly is connected with the automobile air duct, used for introducing the airflow in the automobile air duct into the vehicle cabin, the air outlet assembly comprises: an outer shell 100, an inner shell 200, a wind direction adjusting mechanism, a control mechanism.

[0055] Specifically, the outer shell 100 is preferably a shell structure with openings at both ends, and the outer shell 100 forms an air duct space inside, the inner shell 200 is arranged in the outer shell 100, and the connection between the inner shell 200 and the outer shell 100 can be realized by clamping, threaded connection or combination of the two, the inner shell 200 is used to divide the air duct space inside the outer shell 100, the air duct space includes two air outlet channels, the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120, one end of the two air outlet channels is communicated to form an air inlet channel 130, the air inlet channel 130 is communicated with the automobile air duct, responsible for introducing the airflow in the automobile air duct into the air duct space in the outer shell 100, the other end is towards the vehicle cabin, the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are respectively controlled by the first damper cover 400 arranged at the end of the first air outlet channel 110 away from the air inlet channel 130, and the second damper cover 500 arranged at the end of the second air outlet channel 120 away from the air inlet channel 130, to control the 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, 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 one of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 to move at the same time, the movement stroke of the control mechanism controlling the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 includes the connected air adjusting stroke and the air closing stroke;

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

[0058] With Figure 4For example, when the movement stroke of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 is the air adjusting stroke, the second damper cover 500 in the second air outlet passage 120 remains stationary, while the first damper cover 400 in the first air outlet passage 110 moves in the first air outlet passage 110. Since the second air outlet passage 120 remains fully open, most of the air flow entering the air duct space from the air inlet passage 130 will flow into the vehicle cabin through the second air outlet passage 120 before the first damper cover 400 moves to fully open the first air outlet passage 110, and the rest of the air flow will flow into the vehicle cabin through the first air outlet passage 110. Since most of the air flow passes through the second air outlet passage 120, the air flow direction in the vehicle cabin is towards the upper right in FIG. 6. If the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually decreases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually increase; conversely, if the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually increases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually decrease. Figure 4 Figure 4 For example, when the movement stroke of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 is the air adjusting stroke, the second damper cover 500 in the second air outlet passage 120 remains stationary, while the first damper cover 400 in the first air outlet passage 110 moves in the first air outlet passage 110. Since the second air outlet passage 120 remains fully open, most of the air flow entering the air duct space from the air inlet passage 130 will flow into the vehicle cabin through the second air outlet passage 120 before the first damper cover 400 moves to fully open the first air outlet passage 110, and the rest of the air flow will flow into the vehicle cabin through the first air outlet passage 110. Since most of the air flow passes through the second air outlet passage 120, the air flow direction in the vehicle cabin is towards the upper right in FIG. 6. If the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually decreases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually increase; conversely, if the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually increases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually decrease. Figure 4 For example, when the movement stroke of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 is the air adjusting stroke, the second damper cover 500 in the second air outlet passage 120 remains stationary, while the first damper cover 400 in the first air outlet passage 110 moves in the first air outlet passage 110. Since the second air outlet passage 120 remains fully open, most of the air flow entering the air duct space from the air inlet passage 130 will flow into the vehicle cabin through the second air outlet passage 120 before the first damper cover 400 moves to fully open the first air outlet passage 110, and the rest of the air flow will flow into the vehicle cabin through the first air outlet passage 110. Since most of the air flow passes through the second air outlet passage 120, the air flow direction in the vehicle cabin is towards the upper right in FIG. 6. If the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually decreases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually increase; conversely, if the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually increases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually decrease.

[0059] Figure 4 For example, when the movement stroke of the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 is the air adjusting stroke, the second damper cover 500 in the second air outlet passage 120 remains stationary, while the first damper cover 400 in the first air outlet passage 110 moves in the first air outlet passage 110. Since the second air outlet passage 120 remains fully open, most of the air flow entering the air duct space from the air inlet passage 130 will flow into the vehicle cabin through the second air outlet passage 120 before the first damper cover 400 moves to fully open the first air outlet passage 110, and the rest of the air flow will flow into the vehicle cabin through the first air outlet passage 110. Since most of the air flow passes through the second air outlet passage 120, the air flow direction in the vehicle cabin is towards the upper right in FIG. 6. If the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually decreases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually increase; conversely, if the opening degree of the first air outlet passage 110 gradually increases, the air flow in the vehicle cabin that is biased towards the upper right will gradually decrease.

[0060]

[0061] ​​​​The first air door cover 400 comprises a first appearance surface 410, which is located outside the first air outlet passage 110 and flush with the end surface of the outer shell 100 when the first air door cover 400 is in the closed position.

[0062] The second air door cover 500 comprises a second appearance surface 510, which is located outside the second air outlet passage 120 and flush with the end surface of the outer shell 100 when the second air door cover 500 is in the closed position.

[0063] The first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 are arranged at the ends of the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120, facing the vehicle cabin. When the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120 are closed, the first appearance surface 410 and the second appearance surface 510 are flush with the end surface of the outer shell 100, which ensures that the appearance of the outer shell 100 at the end facing the vehicle cabin is more harmonious and beautiful, meeting the use requirements of the driver and passengers.

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

[0065] Preferably, the first air guide surface 420 is arranged adjacent to and at an angle with the first appearance surface 410, and the two surfaces are smoothly connected; the second air guide surface 520 is also arranged adjacent to and at an angle with the second appearance surface 510, and the two surfaces are also smoothly connected. The first air guide surface 420 and the second air guide surface 520 respectively form part of the passage wall of the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120 when the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 are in the non-closed position. The purpose of this design is to more accurately control the air flow of the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120 when the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 are rotated.

[0066] In one embodiment, the air outlet assembly comprises at least an upper air outlet state, a wind 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 damper cover 400 is in the closed position of the first air outlet passage 110, and the second damper cover 500 is in the maximum open position of the second air outlet passage 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 passage 110 is gradually opened, and finally switched to the state shown in Figure 7 that the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120 are both 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 passage 120 is gradually closed, and finally switched to the state shown in Figure 13 that the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120 are both closed.

[0070] Referring to Figure 7 When the air outlet assembly is in the upper air outlet state, the first damper cover 400 is in the closed position of the first air outlet passage 110, and the second damper cover 500 is in the maximum open position of the second air outlet passage 120. In this state: Figure 7 Figure 7 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 passage 110 is gradually opened, and finally switched to the state shown in that the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120 are both fully opened;

[0071] Figure 10 When the air outlet assembly is in the upper air outlet state, the first damper cover 400 is in the closed position of the first air outlet passage 110, and the second damper cover 500 is in the maximum open position of the second air outlet passage 120. In this state:

[0072] 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 passage 110 is gradually opened, and finally switched to the state shown in Figure 7 that the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120 are both fully opened;

[0073] ​When the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500 are in the closed air flow path, the second damper cover 500 remains stationary, and the first damper cover 400 rotates from the maximum open position to other positions, gradually closing the first air outlet channel 110, and finally switching to the state shown in Figure 13 , in which the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 are both closed.

[0074] Referring to Figure 13 , when the air outlet assembly is in the closed state, the first damper cover 400 is in the closed position of the first air outlet channel 110, and the second damper cover 500 is in 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 flow path. 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 damper cover 400 or the second damper cover 500 starts to move, the air flow of one of the air outlet channels gradually increases, causing the air flow direction in the vehicle cabin to start to turn to the right upper or right lower Figure 13 .

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

[0076] a drive disc 600 rotatably connected to the outer housing 100; a first driven wheel 701 and a second driven wheel 702 rotatably connected to the outer housing 100, and a first driven wheel 701 and a second driven wheel 702 rotatably connected to the first damper cover 400 and the second damper cover 500, respectively; a first crank 801 and a second crank 802 rotatably arranged on the outer housing 100, and the first ends of the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are connected to the drive disc 600, and the second ends of the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 are connected to the first driven wheel 701 and the second driven wheel 702, respectively. The connection between the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 and the first driven wheel 701 and the second driven wheel 702 can be achieved by respectively providing a first gear portion and a second gear portion on the second ends of the first crank 801 and the second crank 802, and by meshing the first gear portion with the first driven wheel 701 and the second gear portion with the second driven wheel 702. When the drive disc 600 drives the first driven wheel 701 and the second driven wheel 702 to rotate, it drives the first crank 801 and the second crank 802 to rotate on the outer housing 100, respectively. When the drive disc 600 rotates, it can drive the first crank 801 or the second crank 802 to rotate, and in turn 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.

[0079] In one embodiment, the control mechanism further comprises a driving motor for driving the driving disc 600 to rotate, preferably a servo motor, because the servo motor has higher control accuracy and response speed, and can ensure the position accuracy of the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 after rotation. The driving groove 610 is formed around the axis of the driving disc 600, and its trajectory path is closed, which ensures that the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 can be effectively driven to rotate even when the driving motor drives the driving disc 600 to rotate in one direction.

[0080] In one embodiment, the driving disc 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, along the first rotation direction, the driving groove 610 comprises a first circular arc groove segment 611, a first pushing groove segment 612, a second circular arc groove segment 613 and a second pushing groove segment 614 connected in sequence, wherein the centers of the first circular arc groove segment 611 and the second circular arc groove segment 613 coincide with the rotation center of the driving disc 600, the maximum distance between the first pushing groove segment 612 and the rotation center of the driving disc 600 gradually decreases along the first rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second pushing groove segment 614 and the rotation center of the driving disc 600 gradually increases, and when one of the protruding columns is located at the starting end of any groove segment, the other protruding column is located at the starting end of the adjacent groove segment of the groove segment.

[0081] Referring to Figure 3 , when the driving disc 600 rotates in the clockwise direction along Figure 3 , it is defined as the first rotation direction of the driving disc 600, and when the driving disc 600 rotates in the counterclockwise direction along Figure 3 , it is defined as the second rotation direction of the driving disc 600.

[0082] In Figure 3In the shown state, along the first direction of rotation, the first protrusion 803 is located at the start of the second pushing groove segment 614, and the second protrusion 804 is located at the start of the first circular-arc groove segment 611. At this time, the state of the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 is as shown in FIG. 4B, wherein the first air door cover 400 is in the closed position, and the second air door cover 500 is in the maximum open position. Figure 4

[0083] When the driving disc 600 is rotated in the first direction, the first protrusion 803 slides from the start of the second pushing groove segment 614 to the start of the second circular-arc groove segment 613, passing through the entire second pushing groove segment 614; and the second protrusion 804 slides from the start of the first circular-arc groove segment 611 to the start of the second pushing groove segment 614, passing through the entire first circular-arc groove segment 611. Since the center of the first circular-arc groove segment 611 coincides with the center of rotation of the driving disc 600, when the second protrusion 804 passes through the entire first circular-arc groove segment 611, the second crank 802 does not rotate on the outer housing 100, and thus the second air door cover 500 continuously remains in the maximum open position. In the first direction of rotation, the maximum distance between the second pushing groove segment 614 and the center of rotation gradually increases, and as the driving disc 600 rotates, the side wall of the second pushing groove segment 614 drives the first crank 801 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction of Figure 3 , by pushing the first protrusion 803. When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the first air door cover 400 is driven to rotate in the clockwise direction by the first driven wheel 701, so that the first air door cover 400 rotates from the closed state shown in FIG. 4A to the maximum open state shown in FIG. 4B. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 4B. Figure 4 Figure 7 Figure 6

[0084] Similarly, when the driving disc 600 is rotated in the second direction, along the second direction of rotation, the first protrusion 803 slides from the start of the first circular-arc groove segment 611 to the start of the first pushing groove segment 612, passing through the entire first circular-arc groove segment 611; and the second protrusion 804 slides from the start of the first pushing groove segment 612 to the start of the second circular-arc groove segment 613, passing through the entire first pushing groove segment 612. Since the center of the first circular-arc groove segment 611 coincides with the center of rotation of the driving disc 600, when the first protrusion 803 passes through the entire first circular-arc groove segment 611, the first crank 801 does not rotate on the outer housing 100, and thus the first air door cover 400 continuously remains in the closed position. In the second direction of rotation, the maximum distance between the first pushing groove segment 612 and the center of rotation of the driving disc 600 gradually increases, and as the driving disc 600 rotates, the side wall of the first pushing groove segment 612 drives the second crank 802 to rotate in the clockwise direction of Figure 3 ​​​​When 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 Figure 13 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive plate 600 becomes Figure 12 The status shown.

[0085] When the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the driving plate 600 are in the position 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 driving disk 600 is rotated in the first direction, Figure 6 During clockwise rotation as shown, the first boss 803 slides from the starting end of the second arcuate slot segment 613 to the starting end of the first push slot segment 612, passing through the entire second arcuate slot segment 613; the second boss 804 slides from the starting end of the second push slot segment 614 to the starting end of the second arcuate slot segment 613, passing through the entire second push slot segment 614. Because the center of the second arcuate slot segment 613 coincides with the rotation center of the drive disk 600, the first crank 801 remains stationary when the first boss 803 passes through the entire second arcuate slot segment 613, and thus the first damper cover 400 remains in the maximum open position. In the first rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second push slot segment 614 and the rotation center of the drive disk 600 gradually increases. As the drive disk 600 rotates, the side wall of the second push slot segment 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 damper cover 500 is rotated clockwise to move from Figure 7 Turn to the maximum opening position shown Figure 10 At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the drive disk 600 becomes Figure 9 The status shown.

[0087] Likewise, when the drive plate 600 is rotated in the second direction, Figure 6When the driving disc 600 rotates in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 6, the first protruding post 803 slides from the starting end of the first pushing groove segment 612 to the starting end of the first circular-arc groove segment 611, passing through the entire first pushing groove segment 612; the second protruding post 804 slides from the starting end of the second circular-arc groove segment 613 to the starting end of the first pushing groove segment 612, passing through the entire second circular-arc groove segment 613. Since the center of the second circular-arc groove segment 613 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disc 600, when the second protruding post 804 passes through the entire second circular-arc groove segment 613, the second crank 802 remains stationary, and thus the second air door cover 500 remains in the closed position. In the first rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second pushing groove segment 614 and the rotation center of the driving disc 600 gradually decreases, and as the driving disc 600 rotates, the side wall of the second pushing groove segment 614 pushes the first protruding post 803 to drive the first crank 801 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction shown in FIG. 4. When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 6 When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 6 When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 7 When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 4 When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 3 When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5.

[0088] When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 9 When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5.

[0089] When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 9 When the first crank 801 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it drives the first air door cover 400 to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 4, and the first air door cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in FIG. 4 to the closed position shown in FIG. 5. At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802, and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in FIG. 5. Figure 9clockwise direction, the first crank 801 rotates clockwise, and the first damper cover 400 is driven to rotate along the Figure 9 counterclockwise direction by the first driven wheel 701, so that the first damper cover 400 rotates from the maximum opening position shown in Figure 10 to the closing position shown in Figure 13 . At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in Figure 12 .

[0090] Similarly, when the driving disc 600 rotates in the second rotation direction, i.e. the counterclockwise direction shown in Figure 9 , the first protruding column 803 slides from the starting end of the second arcuate groove segment 613 to the starting end of the second pushing groove segment 614, and passes through the entire second arcuate groove segment 613 in the second rotation direction; the second protruding column 804 slides from the starting end of the second pushing groove segment 614 to the starting end of the first arcuate groove segment 611, and passes through the entire second pushing groove segment 614. Since the center of the second arcuate groove segment 613 coincides with the rotation center of the driving disc 600, the first protruding column 803 passes through the entire second arcuate groove segment 613 while the first crank 801 remains stationary, so that the first damper cover 400 remains in the maximum opening position. In the second rotation direction, the maximum distance between the second pushing groove segment 614 and the rotation center of the driving disc 600 gradually decreases, and as the driving disc 600 rotates, the side wall of the second pushing groove segment 614 drives the second crank 802 to rotate along the Figure 9 clockwise direction by pushing the second protruding column 804. When the second crank 802 rotates clockwise, the second damper cover 500 is driven to rotate along the Figure 9 counterclockwise direction by the second driven wheel 702, so that the second damper cover 500 rotates from the closing position shown in Figure 10 to the opening position shown in Figure 7 . At the same time, the positional relationship between the first crank 801, the second crank 802 and the driving disc 600 becomes the state shown in Figure 6 .

[0091] In one embodiment, the air outlet assembly further comprises a flow distribution plate 900, which is rotatably arranged in the air inlet channel 130, and the control mechanism is in transmission connection with the flow distribution plate 900; when in the air adjusting stroke, the air inlet flow rate ratio between the first air outlet channel 110 and the second air outlet channel 120 is adjusted according to the position of the flow distribution plate 900, and the smaller the opening degree of the first air outlet channel 110 or the second air outlet channel 120 is, the smaller the air inlet flow rate thereof is.

[0092] Referring to Figure 16At this time, the air outlet assembly is in the upper air outlet state, the first air door cover 400 is rotated to be flush with the one end of the outer shell 100 facing the vehicle cabin, and the first air outlet passage 110 is closed; the second air door cover 500 is in the maximum opening position, and the second air outlet passage 120 is opened. At this time, the flow divider 900 blocks between the air inlet passage 130 and the first air outlet passage 110, so that the air flow enters the vehicle cabin after passing through the second air outlet passage 120. When the first air door cover 400 and the second air door cover 500 are in the air adjusting stroke, the first air door cover 400 starts to rotate in the clockwise direction as shown in the figure, and at the same time, the flow divider 900 rotates in the counterclockwise direction as shown in the figure, so that part of the air flow enters the first air outlet passage 110, realizing the distribution of the air flow. The transmission wheel connection between the flow divider 900 and the control mechanism belongs to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here. Figure 16 Figure 16

[0093] Figure 7 Figure 10 Theoretically, during the process from the horizontal air outlet direction to the limit lower air outlet direction, the opening size of the second air outlet passage 120 and the change of the air direction change in linear proportion, for example, the opening size of the second air outlet passage 120 is 90%, that is, 10% is closed, and the corresponding air outlet direction should change 10% from the horizontal air direction to the limit lower air outlet direction. However, in fact, because of the diversification of the air outlet structure, there are many factors affecting the air flow, so it is difficult to realize linear change. In some manual air outlet structures, the user may adjust the knob downward by 20%, but the actual air direction changes downward by only 15% or even less than 10%. In order to make up for this defect, the flow divider 900 is additionally added in the embodiment, which can adjust the air inlet flow ratio between the first air outlet passage 110 and the second air outlet passage 120, that is, when the user adjusts the knob downward by 20%, through the added flow divider 900, the air inlet flow of the second air outlet passage 120 is reduced and the air inlet flow of the first air outlet passage 110 is increased, thereby increasing the downward change range of the air direction; in the embodiment, when the flow divider 900 is in the limit angle, the flow divider 900 can completely close or partially close the first air outlet passage 110 or the second air outlet passage 120, which can be designed according to the actual structure of the air outlet.
