[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air outlets and relates to an atmosphere light for an air-conditioning air outlet dial button and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The air outlet is one of the important functional parts in the car interior. It can transmit cold air or hot air to create a comfortable riding environment. Users can adjust the air volume and angle through the air outlet dial. It can also be used in ventilation outlets inside aircraft, ships and railway vehicles.

[0003] The existing air outlet design only meets the conventional functions and can no longer meet the needs of consumers in terms of decorative function. Adding ambient lights to the air outlet dial not only has a beautiful effect, but also serves as an indicator, making it convenient for passengers to adjust the air outlet angle and air volume in low light conditions.

[0004] The existing solution adopts placing the circuit board with the light-emitting element directly in the dial button, but the dial button requires a large space, the light output is uneven, and the connecting line is easily damaged after the dial button is actuated multiple times, so there is a large room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art and to propose an air-conditioning outlet dial button atmosphere light and a vehicle.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an air conditioner outlet dial atmosphere light, comprising: A bracket assembly provided with a mounting hole; A light-emitting assembly, comprising a circuit board and a light-emitting element, wherein the circuit board is arranged in the bracket assembly, and the light-emitting element is arranged on the circuit board; A dial button, which swings vertically or horizontally relative to the bracket assembly, and the dial button is provided with a mounting cavity; A light guide assembly, comprising a first light guide and a second light guide, wherein the first light guide is disposed in the mounting hole, and the second light guide is disposed on the mounting cavity at one end close to the bracket assembly and swings with the dial; The light-emitting element is close to the light-incoming surface of the first light guide, and the light-emitting surface of the first light guide is close to the light-incoming surface of the second light guide; when the dial button is in any swinging position, the light-emitting surface of the first light guide can completely cover the light-incoming surface of the second light guide or can be completely covered by the light-incoming surface of the second light guide; the light emitted by the light-emitting element can pass through the first light guide and the second light guide and then exit the dial button.

[0007] In the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet dial button atmosphere light, the first light guide member is a milky white lens, and the second light guide member is a transparent lens.

[0008] In the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet button atmosphere light, the second light guide has a T-shaped structure, one end of the second light guide is located on the installation cavity close to one end of the bracket assembly, and the other two ends of the second light guide extend in two different length directions of the button and are parallel to the first light guide.

[0009] In the above-mentioned air conditioner outlet button atmosphere light, optical emitting teeth are provided at both ends of the second light guide member parallel to the first light guide member, and the light propagating in the second light guide member can be emitted from the button after being reflected by the optical emitting teeth.

[0010] In the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet dial button atmosphere light, the light guide assembly also includes a third light guide member, the third light guide member is arranged on an end of the installation cavity away from the bracket assembly, and the third light guide member is a milky white lens.

[0011] In the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet dial button atmosphere light, the thickness of the third light guide member gradually decreases from the bending parts at both ends of the second light guide member toward the two different height directions of the dial button.

[0012] In the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet knob atmosphere light, it also includes a fixed seat, which is fixed relative to the bracket assembly, and the fixed seat is provided with a rotatable rotating part. The knob is also provided with a base, and the base is penetrated through the rotating part and can slide along the axial direction of the rotating part.

[0013] In the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet button atmosphere light, it also includes a fake blade, which is fixed relative to the bracket assembly, and the fixing seat and the fake blade wrap the bracket assembly and the base and expose the button.

[0014] In the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet knob atmosphere light, the false blade is provided with a limiting groove, and the base is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the limiting protrusion is located in the limiting groove and can contact the side wall of the limiting groove.

[0015] A vehicle is also provided, comprising the air-conditioning outlet dial button atmosphere light.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The light emitted from the light-emitting element is evenly dispersed by the first light guide member, and then emitted after being guided by the second light guide member. Therefore, when the dial button is swung vertically or horizontally relative to the bracket assembly, the surface can still be kept evenly illuminated. Since the bracket assembly is relatively fixed, the circuit is not easily damaged.

[0018] 2. The other two ends of the second light guide extend in two different length directions of the button and are parallel to the first light guide, ensuring that the light emitted by the first light guide enters the light entrance surface of one end of the second light guide and is emitted from the light exit surfaces of the other two ends after internal reflection.

[0019] 3. The optical emitting teeth can make the light propagating in the second light guide member emit out of the dial button after reflection. The shape characteristics of the optical emitting teeth are used to reflect the light, thereby improving the utilization rate of the light.

[0020] 4. The base can rotate relative to the base through the rotating member, and the base can slide along the axial direction of the rotating member, thereby driving the dial button to swing vertically or horizontally relative to the bracket assembly.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0029] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an air conditioner outlet dial button atmosphere light includes: a bracket component 100, a light emitting component, a dial button 300 and a light guide component; Wherein, the bracket assembly 100 is provided with a mounting hole 110; The light emitting assembly includes a circuit board 210 and a light emitting element 220. The circuit board 210 is disposed in the bracket assembly 100, and the light emitting element 220 is disposed on the circuit board 210. The dial button 300 swings vertically or horizontally relative to the bracket assembly 100, and the dial button 300 is provided with a mounting cavity 310; The light guide assembly includes a first light guide 410 and a second light guide 420. The first light guide 410 is disposed in the mounting hole 110. The second light guide 420 is disposed on the mounting cavity 310 at one end close to the bracket assembly 100 and swings with the dial button 300. Among them, the light-emitting element 220 is close to the light-incoming surface of the first light guide member 410, the light-emitting surface of the first light guide member 410 is close to the light-incoming surface of the second light guide member 420, and the light-emitting surface of the first light guide member 410 can completely cover the light-incoming surface of the second light guide member 420 when the button 300 is in any swinging position; the light emitted by the light-emitting element 220 can pass through the first light guide member 410 and the second light guide member 420 and then be emitted from the button 300.

[0031] In the present embodiment, since the light emitting surface of the first light guide member 410 can always completely cover the light incident surface of the second light guide member 420, the light emitted from the light emitting element 220 can always be received by the second light guide member 420 after passing through the first light guide member 410 and emitted out of the dial button 300 after passing through the light guide of the second light guide member 420. Therefore, when the dial button 300 is swung vertically or horizontally relative to the bracket assembly 100, the surface can still be kept luminous, and the user can always see the position of the dial button of the air outlet in a dim car. In addition, since the bracket assembly 100 is relatively fixed, the circuit is not easily damaged.

[0032] On the basis of the above embodiment, the first light guide member 410 is a milky white lens, and the second light guide member 420 is a transparent lens.

[0033] It should be noted that the first light guide 410 is set as a milky white lens mainly to allow the light emitted by the light-emitting element 220 to be evenly diffused in the first light guide 410, so that the light-incoming surface of the second light guide 420 at any position can receive light of the same intensity; the second light guide 420 is set as a transparent lens mainly to maximize the propagation of light through total reflection in the second light guide 420, reduce the light emitted from the non-light-emitting surface of the second light guide 420, and reduce the light absorbed by the material of the second light guide 420 itself, thereby improving the utilization rate of light.

[0034] Based on the above implementation, the second light guide 420 has a T-shaped structure, and one end of the second light guide 420, that is, the light input surface, is located on the installation cavity 310 at one end close to the bracket assembly 100, and the other two ends of the second light guide 420 extend in two different length directions of the button 300 and are parallel to the first light guide 410, ensuring that the light emitted from the first light guide 410 enters the light input surface at one end of the second light guide 420 and is reflected internally before being emitted from the light output surfaces at the other two ends, thereby expanding the light output area of ​​the second light guide 420.

[0035] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, optical emission teeth 421 are provided at both ends of the second light guide 420 parallel to the first light guide 410, and the light propagating in the second light guide 420 can be emitted from the dial button 300 after being reflected by the optical emission teeth 421. The optical emission teeth 421 can make the light propagating in the second light guide 420 be emitted from the dial button 300 after being reflected, and the shape characteristics of the optical emission teeth 421 are used to reflect the light, thereby improving the utilization rate of the light.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, the light guide assembly further includes a third light guide 430, which is disposed on the end of the mounting cavity 310 away from the bracket assembly 100, and is a milky white lens. Since the second light guide 420 is a transparent lens, the overall light emitted from the second light guide 420 may not be very uniform, affecting the visual effect of the atmosphere light, and the milky white third light guide 430 can further diffuse the light, so that the dial button 300 can maintain uniform surface light emission.

[0037] More specifically, the central axis of the second light guide member 420 coincides with the central axis of the third light guide member 430 .

[0038] More specifically, the thickness of the third light guide member 430 gradually decreases from the bending positions at both ends of the second light guide member 420 toward two different height directions of the dial button 300 .

[0039] In the above embodiment, the light-emitting surface of the first light guide 410 always completely covers the light-incoming surface of the second light guide 420, so as to ensure that the second light guide 420 can always receive light of stable intensity. In another specific embodiment, the light-emitting surface of the first light guide 410 can be completely covered by the light-incoming surface of the second light guide 420. Obviously, this method can also ensure that the second light guide 420 can always receive light of stable intensity, and compared with the previous embodiment, the advantage is that the second light guide 420 can receive all the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the first light guide 410, and the light utilization rate is higher; however, the disadvantage is that the second light guide 420 swings with the dial 300, and in order to always completely cover the light-emitting surface of the first light guide 410, the size of the second light guide 420 must be made relatively large.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a fixed base 500, which is fixed relative to the bracket assembly 100, and the fixed base 500 is provided with a rotatable rotating member 510, and the button 300 is also provided with a base 320, which is penetrated by the rotating member 510 and can slide along the axial direction of the rotating member 510.

[0041] Specifically, the rotating member 510 may be another gear meshed with a gear disposed on the fixed seat 500 , and since the base 320 passes through the limit of the rotating member 510 , the rotating member 510 can be rotated relative to the fixed seat 500 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the base 320 can rotate relative to the base 320 through the rotating member 510, and the base 320 can slide along the axial direction of the rotating member 510, thereby driving the button 300 to swing vertically or horizontally relative to the bracket assembly 100.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a false blade 600 is further included. The false blade 600 is fixed relative to the bracket assembly 100. The fixing seat 500 and the false blade 600 cover the bracket assembly 100 and the base 320 and expose the dial button 300.

[0044] Specifically, the false blade 600 is provided with a limiting groove 610 , and the base 320 is provided with a limiting protrusion 321 . The limiting protrusion 321 is located in the limiting groove 610 and can contact the side wall of the limiting groove 610 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the limiting protrusion 321 is located in the limiting groove 610 and can contact the side wall of the limiting groove 610 , thereby limiting the maximum movement range of the dial button 300 relative to the bracket assembly 100 .

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in terms of the overall working principle, the light emitting element 220 emits light, enters the incident surface of the first light guide 410, and is uniformly emitted through the first light guide 410 and is emitted from the exit surface of the first light guide 410; then enters the light guided by the second light guide 420 and is emitted from the exit surface of the second light guide 420 through total reflection of the second light guide 420; finally enters the incident surface of the third light guide 430 and is uniformly emitted through the third light guide 430 and is emitted from the exit surface of the third light guide 430. During this process, when the dial button 300 is swung vertically or horizontally relative to the bracket assembly 100, the surface can still maintain uniform light emission.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a vehicle includes the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet knob atmosphere light.
