[0053] The purpose, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0056] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, if "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or solutions that satisfy both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0057] Please refer to the conventional air outlet structure solutions currently on the market Figure 1 To conceal the design, the air vents are usually very small. This results in a common characteristic of this type of air vent: a large rear air inlet and a narrow outlet. When the air conditioner is turned on during high temperatures in the summer, it will cool down at its highest speed. The wind speed in the narrow front area is very high, creating negative pressure. Furthermore, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the surrounding environment is large, causing a popping sound within the first one to two minutes, affecting the passenger's riding experience. Furthermore, when the air conditioner is turned on in a hot and humid environment with the windows open, condensation is easily formed in the narrow area. If this condensation seeps into the electrical system, such as the dashboard and control unit, it may cause a short circuit or other electrical failure, affecting the safety and functionality of the vehicle.

[0058] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle air outlet structure assembly and a control method thereof as well as a vehicle, aiming to solve the problem that abnormal noise is easily emitted at the current air outlet.

[0059] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The present invention proposes a vehicle air outlet structure assembly 1000, including an air guide structure 1 and an air regulating plate structure 2, wherein the air guide structure 1 is formed with an air inlet channel 11, a first air outlet channel 12 and a second air outlet channel 13, wherein the air inlet channel 11 has an air inlet end for communicating with the vehicle interior blower and two connecting ends respectively connected with the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13, wherein the ends of the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13 away from the connecting ends respectively form a first air outlet 121 and a second air outlet 131, wherein the second air outlet 131 is used to be arranged toward the vehicle seat, and the first air outlet 121 is used to be arranged in a hidden area in the vehicle relative to the second air outlet 131, and the air regulating plate structure 2 includes adjusting parts 21 respectively arranged in the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13, and each of the adjusting parts 21 can be rotatably set to adjust the opening size of the first air outlet 121 or the second air outlet 131.

[0060] The technical solution of the present invention, by setting the first air outlet channel 12, relieves the air supply pressure of the second air outlet channel 13, avoids the air supply pressure of the second air outlet channel 13 being too high and emitting abnormal noise under high temperature difference conditions, wherein the second air outlet 131 is used to be set toward the seat in the vehicle, and the first air outlet 121 is used to be set in a hidden area in the vehicle relative to the second air outlet 131, so that the first air outlet 121 is not easy to be noticed, thereby improving the ornamental value of the interior decoration, and by respectively arranging adjustment parts 21 inside the first air outlet channel 12 and the second air outlet channel 13, the opening sizes of the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 are adjustable, so that the degree of closing of the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 can be controlled according to different working conditions, thereby improving the intelligence level of this structure.

[0061] It should be noted that this solution does not limit the specific positions of the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131. In a preferred embodiment, the second air outlet 131 is arranged on the side of the dashboard facing the seat, and the first air outlet 121 is arranged on the upper surface of the dashboard, wherein the second air outlet 131 is used to blow directly toward the passenger to achieve the purpose of quickly changing the body temperature, and the first air outlet 121 blows air into the car to adjust the temperature inside the car.

[0062] Furthermore, the adjustment member 21 located within the second air outlet channel 13 is a first adjustment member 211. Two first adjustment members 211 are provided, spaced apart along the extension direction of the second channel, and the rotation axes of the two first adjustment members 211 intersect. It should be noted that the adjustment member 21 can not only change the opening size of the air outlet, but also change the direction of air flow from the air outlet. By providing two first adjustment members 211 with intersecting rotation axes, the second air outlet 131 can blow air in two different directions, thereby improving the functionality of the blowing structure.

[0063] It should be noted that, in a specific embodiment, each of the adjusting members 21 is connected to a motor 3 for driving, and the motor 3 is used to control the rotation of the adjusting member 21 , thereby controlling the opening size of the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 .

[0064] Furthermore, the vehicle air outlet structure assembly 1000 also includes a control device, which is used to be electrically connected to the air conditioner, blower, temperature sensor and motor 3, so as to control the opening size of the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 according to the gear position of the blower, the ambient temperature in the vehicle and the set temperature of the air conditioner, further improving the intelligence level of the device and avoiding abnormal noise.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 4 The present invention also provides a method for controlling a vehicle air outlet structure assembly. Based on the above-mentioned vehicle air outlet structure assembly 1000, the method for controlling a vehicle air outlet structure assembly includes the following steps:

[0066] S100, obtaining the current gear information of the blower and the current indoor temperature;

[0067] S200 , when the current gear information and the current indoor temperature meet preset conditions, control the adjustment member 21 to open the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 , or open the first air outlet 121 and close the second air outlet 131 .

[0068] The technical solution provided by the present invention obtains the current indoor temperature and the air-conditioning set temperature to obtain a calculated temperature difference, and controls the opening of the first air outlet 121 according to the temperature difference, so that when the temperature difference is large, the second air outlet 131 can be closed or reduced in time, and the temperature is controlled by the first air outlet 121 to avoid the occurrence of abnormal noise, and the current gear information of the blower is obtained, and the opening of the first air outlet 121 is controlled according to whether the current gear information of the blower meets the preset conditions, so that when the blower gear is large, the second air outlet 131 can be closed or reduced in time, and the temperature is controlled by the first air outlet 121 to avoid the occurrence of abnormal noise. This solution comprehensively adjusts the opening of the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 131 from the two aspects of temperature difference and air volume, thereby ensuring normal air supply to the vehicle while avoiding the occurrence of abnormal noise at the air outlet, thereby improving the comfort of the occupants.

[0069] It should be noted that this solution does not limit the specific implementation of the preset condition. In one embodiment, the preset condition is to directly determine whether the current indoor temperature is within a preset range based on the current air temperature. The preset range is a high temperature range or a low temperature range. When the indoor temperature falls within the preset range, it indicates that the vehicle interior needs to be cooled or heated at full speed, which is likely to cause abnormal noise.

[0070] It should also be noted that the gear information indicates the size of the blower gear, which is expressed as a specific value, such as gear 1, gear 2, gear 3, etc.

[0071] Preferably, in the second embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 5 After the step S100 of obtaining the current gear information of the blower and the current indoor temperature, the method further includes:

[0072] S101, obtaining an air conditioner set temperature, and calculating a temperature difference based on the air conditioner set temperature and the current indoor temperature;

[0073] The preset conditions include a preset temperature difference and preset gear information;

[0074] S201 : If the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference and / or the current gear information is greater than or equal to the preset gear information, control the adjustment member 21 to operate to open the first air outlet 121 .

[0075] It can be understood that the parameter temperature difference directly reflects the size of the temperature difference at the air outlet, and is directly related to whether abnormal noise will occur. When the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference, it means that the temperature difference is large and abnormal noise is likely to occur.

[0076] It should be noted that the preset temperature difference and the preset gear information are obtained through multiple experimental calibrations.

[0077] In a specific implementation, the preset temperature difference is set to 10°.

[0078] Specifically, in the third embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The blower has an automatic mode and a manual mode. In order to adapt to the blower in various working modes, the step of obtaining the air conditioner set temperature in step S101 and calculating the temperature difference based on the air conditioner set temperature and the current indoor temperature further includes:

[0079] S102, obtaining air conditioning mode information;

[0080] S103: If the air conditioning mode information is the automatic mode, set the current gear information according to the temperature difference and the preset temperature difference;

[0081] S104: If the air-conditioning mode information is manual mode, obtain the current gear information.

[0082] It should be noted that the automatic mode means that the blower adjusts the gear size according to the actual situation, and the gear information after adjustment is the current gear information. In the manual mode, the gear information set by the user is the current gear information.

[0083] Further, in the fourth embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 In step S103, if the air conditioning mode information is the automatic mode, setting the current gear information according to the temperature difference and the preset temperature difference, specifically includes:

[0084] S113: If the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference, setting the current gear information as first gear information, where the first gear information is greater than the preset gear information;

[0085] S123: If the temperature difference is less than the preset temperature difference, set the current gear information to second gear information, where the second gear information is less than the preset gear information.

[0086] In a specific implementation, when the temperature difference is greater than 10°C, the first gear information is set to gear 5, thereby adjusting the temperature at full speed. When the temperature difference is less than 10°C, the second gear information is set to gear 2, which basically meets the temperature adjustment requirements.

[0087] Furthermore, after the step of obtaining the air conditioner set temperature in S101 and calculating the temperature difference according to the air conditioner set temperature and the current indoor temperature, the method further includes:

[0088] S202 : If the temperature difference is less than the preset temperature difference and the current gear information is less than the preset gear information, control the regulating member 21 to close the first air outlet 121 and open the second air outlet 131 .

[0089] In the fifth embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The step S201, if the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference and / or the current gear information is greater than or equal to the preset gear information, controlling the regulating member 21 to open the first air outlet 121, specifically includes:

[0090] S211: If the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference, control the regulating member 21 to open the first air outlet 121 and adjust the opening size of the second air outlet 131 according to the size of the gear information;

[0091] S221: If the temperature difference is less than the preset temperature difference, control the regulating member 21 to adjust the opening size of the first air outlet 121 according to the size of the gear information;

[0092] The opening size of the first air outlet 121 is larger than the opening size of the second air outlet 131 .

[0093] In a specific implementation, there are five gears, and the preset gear information is gear 3. When the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature difference, the current gear information is adjusted to gear 3, and the first opening is opened by 50%. When the current gear information is adjusted to gear 4, the first opening is opened by 60%. When the current gear information is adjusted to gear 5, the first opening is opened by 70%. When the temperature difference is less than the preset temperature difference, the current gear information is adjusted to gear 2, and the second opening is closed by 50%. When the current gear information is adjusted to gear 4, the second opening is closed by 80%.

[0094] In the sixth embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 Before obtaining the current gear information of the blower and the current indoor temperature in S100, the method further includes:

[0095] S300, obtaining door and window switch information;

[0096] S400: If the doors and windows are open, obtain humidity information inside the vehicle;

[0097] S500, comparing the in-vehicle humidity information with preset humidity information;

[0098] S600 : If the humidity information inside the vehicle is greater than the preset humidity information, control the adjustment component 21 to open the first air outlet 121 and close the second air outlet 131 .

[0099] In a specific implementation, the preset humidity is set to 60%. When it is detected that the doors and windows are open and the humidity information in the vehicle is greater than 60%, the control adjustment component 21 fully opens the first air outlet 121 and closes the opening of the second air outlet 13190%.

[0100] It should be noted that the vehicle is also equipped with an alarm system, which can prompt the user through the vehicle display screen that the air conditioner is on and the door is not closed. It is understood that after the door is closed, the control system starts executing from S100.

[0101] It is worth mentioning that by fully opening the first air outlet 121 and fully closing the second air outlet 131, the windless mode can be entered, so that the temperature inside the car can be well regulated without the air outlet blowing directly onto the human body.

[0102] The present invention also proposes a vehicle, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute the control method of the vehicle air outlet structure assembly in the above-mentioned embodiment.
