Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of vehicle air conditioning vents, and particularly to an air vent structure, an air conditioning system, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The information provided in this section is for the purpose of generally presenting the background of this disclosure. To the extent described in this section, the work of the currently named inventors and aspects of the description that may not constitute prior art at the time of filing are neither explicitly nor implicitly considered to be prior art of this disclosure.

[0003] Automotive electric air vents require airflow in both vertical and horizontal directions. Traditional electric air vents in existing technology achieve vertical airflow by incorporating an inner shell within the vent. The shape of this inner shell, in conjunction with the vertical movement of the front shell and the damper, controls the airflow. However, this inner shell results in a larger overall size for the electric air vent in the vertical direction, leading to two problems: firstly, it reduces the space available for the dashboard and other components in the vehicle's Z-axis direction; secondly, it restricts the vent's design. Furthermore, the numerous and varied components in the transmission mechanisms for both vertical and horizontal airflow result in significant investment in molds, tooling, and fixtures; longer assembly times; higher component costs; and higher labor and time costs for assembly. Additionally, it places high demands on manufacturing precision. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:

[0021] The air outlet structure in this application includes a housing, a first air guide, a second air guide, and a third air guide. A first channel for guiding airflow is provided through the housing. The first channel has a first air inlet and a first air outlet at its two ends, and includes a first flow channel and a second flow channel arranged vertically.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is intended to aid in understanding the invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. The specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely for describing exemplary embodiments of the invention. However, the invention can be embodied in many alternative forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 A front view of the air outlet structure is provided for an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 An internal schematic diagram of the air outlet structure is provided for an embodiment of this application.

[0040] On one hand, this application provides an air outlet structure, which includes a housing 100, a first air guide 401, a second air guide 402, and a third air guide 403, wherein:

[0041] The housing 100 is provided with a first channel 101 for guiding airflow. The first channel 101 has a first air inlet 201 and a first air outlet 202 at its two ends. The first channel 101 includes a first flow channel 301 and a second flow channel 302 arranged vertically. The airflow enters the first channel 101 through the first air inlet 201 and is blown out from the first air outlet 202 under the guidance of the first channel 101. The first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 arranged vertically in the first channel 101 can allow the airflow to pass through the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 at the same time, or allow the airflow to selectively pass through the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302, so as to provide different channels to guide the airflow and facilitate constrain the airflow to flow along different paths under different operating conditions.

[0042] The first air guide 401 is movably disposed within the first channel 101. The first air guide 401 can swing up and down within the first channel 101. When the first air guide 401 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the first air guide 401 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302. The first air guide 401 is movably connected to the housing 100. The up and down swing of the first air guide 401 within the first channel 101 can constrain the ratio of airflow through the first flow channel 301 to the second flow channel 302 within the first channel 101. When the first air guide 401 swings towards one side of the first flow channel 301, the airflow through the first flow channel 301 is less than that through the second flow channel. As the first air guide 401 continues to move, until one end of the first air guide 401 contacts the top of the first channel 101, the first air guide 401 closes the first channel 301, and all the airflow in the first channel 101 flows to the second channel 302. When the first air guide 401 swings toward the side of the second channel 302, the airflow in the first channel 301 is greater than the airflow in the second channel 302. As the first air guide 401 continues to move, until one end of the first air guide 401 contacts the bottom of the first channel 101, the first air guide 401 closes the second channel 302, and all the airflow in the first channel 101 flows to the first channel 301.

[0043] The second air guide 402 is movably disposed within the first channel 101. The second air guide 402 can swing up and down within the first channel 101 to guide airflow at different angles in a first direction out of the first air outlet 202. When the second air guide 402 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the second air guide 402 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302. The second air guide 402 is movably connected to the housing 100. The up-and-down swing of the second air guide 402 within the first channel 101 can constrain the ratio of airflow passing through the first flow channel 301 to the second flow channel 302 within the first channel 101. When the second air guide 402 swings towards one side of the first flow channel 301, the airflow passes through the first... The airflow rate through flow channel 301 is less than the airflow rate through second flow channel 302. As the second guide section 402 continues to move until one end of the second guide section 402 contacts the top of the first channel 101, the second guide section 402 closes the first flow channel 301, and all the airflow in the first channel 101 flows out through the second flow channel 302. When the second guide section 402 swings toward one side of the second flow channel 302, the airflow rate through the first flow channel 301 is greater than the airflow rate through the second flow channel 302. As the second guide section 402 continues to move until one end of the second guide section 402 contacts the bottom of the first channel 101, the second guide section 402 closes the second flow channel 302, and all the airflow in the first channel 101 flows out through the first flow channel 301.

[0044] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 This application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 in a first state, according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 A cross-sectional view is provided for embodiments of this application when the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 are in a first state, wherein Figure 7 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view along the AA direction;

[0045] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, Figure 8 This application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 in a second state, according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 A cross-sectional view is provided for embodiments of this application when the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 are in a second state, wherein Figure 9 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view along the AA direction;

[0046] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, Figure 10This application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 in a third state, according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 11 A cross-sectional view is provided for embodiments of this application when the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 are in a third state, wherein Figure 11 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view along the AA direction;

[0047] When the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 rotate to different states, the first channel 101 that runs through the housing 100 can guide air in different directions and states to meet the air blowing needs of different positions. Furthermore, the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 can also cycle between the first state, the second state, and the third state to achieve a sweeping effect in the first direction.

[0048] The third air guide 403 is movably disposed within the housing 100. The third air guide 403 can swing left and right within the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 respectively, so as to guide the airflow to blow out of the first air outlet 202 at different angles in the second direction. The third air guide 403 is movably connected to the housing 100. The first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 cooperate to affect the airflow to blow out at different angles in the first direction. The third air guide 403 is arranged to swing within the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 respectively, and guides the airflow to flow at different angles in the second direction. In combination with the guidance of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 in the first direction, the airflow can be adjusted to blow towards the target area in a combined manner to achieve a rich and accurate air guiding effect.

[0049] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 14 As shown, Figure 12 A cross-sectional view of the third air guide 403 in the first state is provided for the embodiments of this application. Figure 13 A cross-sectional view of the third air guide 403 in the second state is provided for the embodiments of this application. Figure 14 A cross-sectional view of the third air guide 403 in a third state is provided for an embodiment of this application, wherein... Figure 12 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 14 for Figure 1 Cross-sectional view along the BB direction.

[0050] When the third air guide 403 rotates to different states, the first channel 101 that runs through the housing 100 can guide air in different directions and states to meet the air blowing needs of different positions. The third air guide 403 can also cycle between the first state, the second state and the third state to achieve a sweeping effect in the second direction. Furthermore, the third air guide 403 can work in conjunction with the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 to achieve a dynamic air guiding effect.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the working principle of the air outlet structure in this application is as follows: the air outlet structure includes a housing 100, a first air guide 401, a second air guide 402, and a third air guide 403. A first channel 101 for guiding air is provided through the housing 100. The two ends of the first channel 101 have a first air inlet 201 and a first air outlet 202, respectively. The first channel 101 includes a first flow channel 301 and a second flow channel 302 arranged vertically. The first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 are respectively movably disposed within the first channel 101. The first air guide 401 can be movably disposed within the housing 100. The first channel 101 swings up and down. When the first air guide 401 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the first air guide 401 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302. The second air guide 402 can swing up and down within the first channel 101 to guide airflow at different angles in the first direction to blow out of the first air outlet 202. When the second air guide 402 contacts the top or bottom of the first channel 101, the second air guide 402 closes the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302. The third air guide 403 is movably disposed within the housing 100. The third air guide 403 can be divided into... The airflow is not oscillating left and right within the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, in order to guide the airflow to be blown out of the first air outlet 202 at different angles in the second direction. Through the arrangement of multiple air guides within the housing 100, the airflow requirements in different directions are met with a single housing 100, eliminating the need for relative oscillation between multiple housings. The first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 work together to achieve reliable wind resistance and airflow guidance effects. Combined with the third air guide 403, the airflow can be blown out in different directions, satisfying the purpose of airflow guidance while significantly reducing the vertical distance of the air outlet structure within the vehicle. The size allows for a wider range of design options, including narrow and linear air vents, reducing the overall structural size limitations in the vertical direction. This also reduces the space occupied by the air vent structure while ensuring proper airflow. When arranging the air vent structure inside the vehicle, it can be placed in a smaller area, avoiding the original reliance on the dashboard structure for vent placement. This improves the flexibility of the air conditioning system layout and maintains the passenger experience while offering more options for air vent arrangement. The reduced number of assembly components also lowers the operational difficulty and improves production efficiency.

[0052] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This application provides a structural schematic diagram of some components at the third air guide 403. In an optional embodiment, the air outlet mechanism further includes a drive member 600, which is connected to the first air guide 401, the second air guide 402, and the third air guide 403 respectively. The drive member 600 drives the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 to rotate about an axis extending in the width direction of the housing 100, so that the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 swing and guide air in a first direction, and drives the third air guide 403 to rotate about an axis extending in the thickness direction of the housing 100, so that the third air guide 403 swings and sweeps air in a second direction.

[0053] Under the drive of the drive unit, the first air guide 401, the second air guide 402, and the third air guide 403 can be driven to swing independently or simultaneously. The first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 rotate about the axis extending in the width direction of the housing 100. By swinging up and down, the airflow can be guided through different first flow channels 301 or second flow channels 302 and blown out in different directions, realizing up-and-down swing air delivery. The first air guide 401 can also close either the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302, and the second air guide 402 can close the other to complete the airflow blocking and prevent unwanted airflow from being blown out. By controlling the rotation of the third air guide 403 about the axis extending in the thickness direction of the housing 100, the swing of the third air guide can guide the airflow to blow out in different directions while passing through the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302, realizing independent or up-and-down swing air delivery while also swinging left and right.

[0054] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The present application provides a structural schematic diagram of some components at the first air guide 401. In an optional embodiment, the driving component 600 includes a first driving motor 601. The output end of the first driving motor 601 is connected to the first air guide 401, the second air guide 402 and the third air guide 403 respectively through multiple gears.

[0055] Driven by the first drive motor 601, the first drive motor 601 drives the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 to swing in the first direction, and drives the third air guide 403 to swing in the second direction. The centralized control of the first drive motor 601 saves layout space, improves space utilization, and reduces costs. The control is more convenient, and the first and second directions can cooperate to guide air under different working conditions. The first and second directions are arranged perpendicular to each other, which can achieve a more uniform air sweeping effect in the vehicle space and improve the driving experience.

[0056] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This application provides a schematic diagram of the drive component 600. It should be noted that the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 402 are respectively connected to the output end of the first drive motor 601 via a first gear 701. To maintain the air guiding reliability of the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 402, a positioning pin 602 can be provided on the first gear 701 at the output end of the first drive motor 601. The positioning pin 602 is located at a non-central position on the first gear 701. The positioning pin 602 also passes through the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 602 respectively. On the air section 402, when the first gear 701 at the output end of the first drive motor 601 drives the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 402 to rotate, the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 402 are also driven to rotate by the positioning pin 602 respectively. This avoids relative deflection between the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 402 and the first gear 701 at the output end of the first drive motor 601, improves reliability, improves the output reliability of the first drive motor 601, and maintains the stability of synchronous rotation of the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 402.

[0057] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, further, the first gear 701 between the first air guide section 401 and the first drive motor 601 is configured to be movable axially. The first gear 701 has a connected state connecting the first drive motor 601 and the first air guide section 401, and a disconnected state separating from the first air guide section 401, so that when the first gear 701 is in the connected state, the two first gears 701 mesh with each other, and when the first drive motor 601 drives the first air guide section 401 and the second air guide section 402 to swing simultaneously, when the first air guide section 401 is in a stationary state and the first gear 701 is in a disconnected state, when the first drive motor 601 drives the second air guide section 402 to swing, the first air guide section 401 is in a stationary state.

[0058] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, when the output end of the first drive motor 601 is connected to the third air guide 403 via the second gear 702, in order to maintain the convenience of arranging the first drive motor 601 and the third air guide 403, the second gear 702 can be set as a bevel gear. Alternatively, by increasing the number of second gears 702, a flexible arrangement between the first drive motor 601 and the third air guide 403 can be achieved. The second gear 702 has a helical tooth section 703 and a straight tooth section 704. The helical tooth section 703 facilitates the meshing of second gears 702 in different directions to transmit power, while the straight tooth section 704 facilitates the meshing of adjacent second gears 702 to transmit power.

[0059] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a partition plate 303 is provided between the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302. The ends of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 that are close to each other are rotatably connected to the partition plate 303, and the other ends can swing up and down in the first channel 101.

[0060] A fixedly connected partition plate 303 is provided inside the main body to divide the first channel 101 and form a first flow channel 301 and a second flow channel 302. The first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 are respectively provided at both ends of the partition plate 303. Under the action of the partition plate 303, the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 are formed as the mounting and positioning base. The ends of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 away from the partition plate 303 rotate relative to the partition plate 303, forming an oscillating operation in the first flow channel 301 or the second flow channel 302.

[0061] The thickness of the middle part of the partition plate 303 is greater than the thickness of the side connecting the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 respectively, so that the top and bottom surfaces of the partition plate 303 form a slope, which improves the smoothness of airflow. The middle part of the partition plate 303 is set to a hollow state, which improves the overall lightweight.

[0062] It should be noted that the thickness of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 on the side closer to the partition plate 303 is greater than the thickness on the side farther from the partition plate 303, so that the side of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 connected to the partition plate 303 has a smoother connection effect, reducing wind resistance and pressure drop. In addition, the ends of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 away from the partition plate 303 are respectively provided with soft rubber parts 503 to improve the sealing performance of the first air guide 401 and the second air guide 402 at extreme positions.

[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment, the third air guide 403 includes a plurality of parallel air guide vanes 501, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower parts of the partition plate 303.

[0064] Multiple air guide vanes 501 are arranged in the width direction of the housing 100, which can reduce the size of each air guide vane 501 while also uniformly guiding the airflow in the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, reducing the overall size of the third air guide 403 and improving the arrangement effect.

[0065] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the third air guide 403 further includes a linkage 502, which is connected to each of the air guide vanes 501 to make the air guides swing synchronously.

[0066] To further reduce the difficulty of controlling multiple air guide vanes 501, improve the uniformity of air guiding angle of multiple air guide vanes 501, and reduce turbulence in the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, each air guide vane 501 is connected by a linkage unit 502. Driven by the linkage unit 502, multiple air guide vanes 501 swing synchronously with the same amplitude, thereby improving operational reliability.

[0067] In an optional implementation, the area of ​​the first air inlet 201 is larger than the area of ​​the first air outlet 202.

[0068] When the airflow velocity entering the housing 100 remains constant, if the area of ​​the first air inlet 201 is larger than the area of ​​the first air outlet 202, the airflow resistance when entering the housing 100 is reduced. A larger first air inlet 201 means less local resistance during air intake, allowing for smoother air intake and reducing energy consumption caused by limited air intake. Moreover, a larger first air inlet 201 allows for the intake of more air per unit time, which is particularly important for applications requiring high airflow rates. This helps improve the overall processing capacity of the equipment and achieve a better driving experience. In addition, if the blower or fan has sufficient power to maintain a fixed flow rate, a larger first air inlet 201 can ensure a stable and sufficient inflow of air without changing the pressure at the first air outlet 202, thereby ensuring the consistency and stability of the system's performance and improving the comfort of passengers in the vehicle.

[0069] In addition, the larger area of ​​the first air inlet 201 provides a certain degree of redundancy in the face of significant changes in the operating environment or potential blockage of the air duct. This allows for a relatively stable flow output even when the first air inlet 201 is obstructed to some extent, thus improving reliability. Furthermore, the relatively larger area of ​​the first air inlet 201 can reduce noise to some extent, as reducing the intake speed can prevent the generation of excessive turbulence and vortex noise.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the first air outlet 202 is provided with an inclined upper plate 203 and a lower plate 204, and when the second air guide 402 contacts one of the upper plate 203 and the lower plate 204, the second air guide 402 is arranged parallel to the other.

[0071] The upper plate 203 and lower plate 204 at the first air outlet 202 form guide surfaces on the upper and lower sides of the first air outlet, respectively. Under the guidance of the upper plate 203 and lower plate 204, the airflow can flow out more smoothly in a constrained direction. When the second air guide 402 contacts the upper plate 203, the airflow flows out from the second flow channel 302 and flows out under the guidance and constraint of the parallel second air guide 402 and lower plate 204. When the second air guide 402 contacts the lower plate 204, the airflow flows out from the first flow channel 301 and flows out under the guidance and constraint of the parallel second air guide 402 and upper plate 203, so as to ensure the stability of the airflow when it flows out in different directions and meet the blowing needs of the driver and passengers within a certain range.
