Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically relating to a multi-stage air conditioning vent system for separating foreign objects and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Car air conditioning vents are a crucial component of the air conditioning system, significantly improving the travel experience for drivers and passengers. Meanwhile, OEMs are increasingly positioning cars as second homes and offices, leading to a substantial increase in the frequency and scenarios in which air vents are used. Snacks and other items left unattended in the car are highly likely to enter the air conditioning vents. Once inside, these objects are difficult to remove and can easily get into the air conditioning unit during vehicle travel, causing noise and odors. If they do get inside the unit, repairs require disassembly of components such as the dashboard, resulting in high after-sales costs.

[0003] Chinese invention patent (publication number: CN218805110U) discloses a rapid foreign object removal structure for air conditioning vents and an automobile, including an air conditioning vent housing and an air conditioning unit. The bottom of the air conditioning vent housing is partially recessed to form two receiving compartments for receiving foreign objects, thus preventing foreign objects entering the air conditioning vent from directly entering the air conditioning unit.

[0004] However, the receiving compartment of this solution is located behind the adjusting blade. When it is necessary to remove foreign objects from the receiving compartment, the user needs to use tweezers to pass through the adjusting blade, which makes it difficult to clean foreign objects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-stage air conditioning vent system and vehicle for separating foreign objects, in order to solve the problem of poor ease of cleaning foreign objects caused by structural defects in existing air conditioning vent systems.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] The present invention provides a multi-stage foreign object separation air conditioning outlet system, comprising: an outlet assembly;

[0008] The air outlet assembly includes an assembly housing and air outlet blades installed inside the assembly housing;

[0009] The air outlet assembly has a receiving compartment on the side of the air outlet blades near the air outlet.

[0010] Further specified, the receiving compartment includes a fixing block and a receiving plate;

[0011] The fixing block is located between the air outlet blade and the receiving plate, and is inclined from top to bottom towards the receiving plate.

[0012] This structural design, through the inclined setting of the fixing block, allows foreign objects that enter the air outlet assembly through the air outlet blades to slide down into the receiving compartment via the inclined fixing block, making it highly practical.

[0013] Furthermore, the receiving plate is movably mounted on the assembly housing;

[0014] When the receiving plate is in the open state, an opening is formed between the fixing block and the assembly housing.

[0015] This structural design, through the movable installation of the receiving plate, allows for the creation of an opening between the receiving plate and the fixing block when cleaning foreign objects in the receiving compartment. This allows foreign objects to be removed from the air vent assembly under the action of gravity, making cleaning more convenient and highly practical.

[0016] Furthermore, the receiving plate is rotatably mounted on the assembly housing.

[0017] This structural design, through the rotating installation of the receiving plate, allows for easy cleaning of foreign objects in the receiving compartment by simply flipping the plate to create an opening for the foreign objects to fall through, making it more convenient and practical.

[0018] Furthermore, when the receiving plate is in the open state, the receiving plate tilts from top to bottom in a direction away from the air outlet blades.

[0019] This structural design, through the tilt of the receiving plate, ensures that the foreign objects adhering to the receiving plate do not cancel each other out in the vertical direction when the receiving plate is in the open state due to the combined forces of gravity and wind. This makes it easier for the foreign objects adhering to the receiving plate to fall off, making it highly practical.

[0020] Further specified, foam is provided between the fixing block and the receiving plate, and the foam is fixedly installed on the fixing block and / or the receiving plate.

[0021] This structural design, through the use of foam, enhances the seal between the fixing block and the supporting plate when the supporting plate is closed, preventing air leakage during normal use. At the same time, the foam also acts as a buffer for the relative movement between the fixing block and the supporting plate, reducing abnormal noise and extending service life, making it highly practical.

[0022] Furthermore, both the fixing block and the receiving plate have flanges at their lower ends.

[0023] This structural design, through the setting of the flange, increases the contact area between the fixing block and the receiving plate, improves the sealing between the fixing block and the receiving plate, and extends the service life.

[0024] Furthermore, a return spring is installed between the receiving plate and the assembly housing, and the return spring is used to drive the receiving plate to return to its original position after the receiving plate is opened.

[0025] This structural design, with its reset spring driving the receiving plate to automatically reset after opening, makes it more convenient to use and highly practical.

[0026] Furthermore, both the receiving plate and the assembly housing are provided with spring mounting bases, and the reset spring is installed between the receiving plate and the assembly housing via the spring mounting bases.

[0027] This structural design, which uses a spring mounting base to fix the reset spring, can prevent the reset spring from shifting. It has a simple structure and is highly practical.

[0028] Furthermore, an operating mechanism is also installed on the assembly housing, and a transmission mechanism is provided between the operating mechanism and the receiving plate.

[0029] This structural design allows the opening and closing of the receiving plate to be operated via an operating mechanism and a transmission mechanism, making it more convenient to use and highly practical.

[0030] Furthermore, the air vent assembly also includes an air vent knob;

[0031] The air vent knob is used to adjust the deflection of the air vent blades so that the airflow is directed downwards.

[0032] This structural design, which allows for adjustment of the air vent blades via the air vent knob, directs the airflow downwards. This downward airflow can then blow foreign objects out of the air vent assembly from the receiving chamber after the receiving plate is opened, making it highly practical.

[0033] Further specifying, the operating mechanism is an air vent baffle installed between the air vent knob and the receiving plate.

[0034] This structural design uses an air vent baffle installed between the air vent knob and the receiving plate as an operating mechanism to open and close the receiving plate. Its position is partially shielded by the air vent knob and the assembly housing, so there is no need to worry about accidental activation, making it highly practical.

[0035] Furthermore, the air vent baffle is provided with a grille on the side near the receiving plate;

[0036] When the receiving plate is in the closed state, the lower end of the grille rests against the receiving plate;

[0037] When the receiving plate is in the open state, the lower end of the grille detaches from the receiving plate.

[0038] This structural design uses a grille to filter larger foreign objects before they fall into the receiving chamber through the receiving plate, forming a second level of isolation and improving the isolation capacity, making it highly practical. At the same time, by utilizing the separation of the grille from the receiving plate, foreign objects on the grille can also fall through the opening under the action of gravity.

[0039] Furthermore, the air vent baffle is rotatably mounted on the assembly housing;

[0040] The transmission mechanism is a connecting rod whose two ends are respectively hinged to the air vent baffle and the receiving plate.

[0041] This structural design uses a connecting rod to form a transmission mechanism, completing the transmission connection between the air vent baffle and the receiving plate. It has a simple structure, is easy to install, and is highly practical.

[0042] Further specified, the upper end of the connecting rod is hinged to the end of the air vent baffle away from the air vent blade;

[0043] The lower end of the connecting rod is hinged to the lower end of the receiving plate.

[0044] This structural design, by limiting the hinge position of the connecting rod, allows the lower end of the receiving plate to tilt downwards simply by pressing the front end of the air vent baffle when the receiving plate needs to be opened. The air vent baffle is close to the air outlet, making operation more convenient.

[0045] Further defining, it also includes the upper body assembly of the sub-instrument panel, wherein the lower boundary of the air vent assembly is higher than the upper body assembly of the sub-instrument panel.

[0046] This structural design, by setting the lower boundary of the air vent assembly higher than the upper body assembly of the sub-instrument panel, creates a height difference between the air vent assembly and the upper body assembly of the sub-instrument panel. This height difference is used to block debris from the upper panel of the sub-instrument panel, allowing foreign objects to be retained on the upper body assembly of the sub-instrument panel as much as possible, making it less likely for them to enter the air vent assembly. This forms the first level of isolation for foreign objects, improves the isolation effect, and is highly practical.

[0047] Further specifying, the sub-instrument panel assembly includes a sub-instrument panel upper panel;

[0048] The assembly housing includes an air vent baffle;

[0049] The upper end of the air vent baffle is horizontally higher than the upper panel of the sub-instrument panel.

[0050] This structural design, by setting the air vent baffle higher than the upper panel of the sub-instrument panel, uses the air vent baffle to block debris from the upper panel of the sub-instrument panel, so that foreign objects are retained on the main body assembly of the sub-instrument panel as much as possible, making it less likely for them to enter the air vent assembly. This forms a first-level isolation of foreign objects, improves the isolation effect, and is highly practical.

[0051] Further specified, the assembly housing includes an air vent baffle, which is inclined from top to bottom toward the receiving plate;

[0052] The lower end of the air vent baffle rests against the upper end of the receiving plate.

[0053] This structural design, through the setting of the air vent baffle, utilizes the tilt of the air vent baffle to allow foreign objects on the assembly housing to slide directly down the air vent baffle into the receiving compartment, making it highly practical.

[0054] Further defined, it also includes a sub-instrument panel upper body assembly, the sub-instrument panel upper body assembly including a sub-instrument panel body skeleton;

[0055] A secondary instrument panel storage box is detachably mounted on the main frame of the secondary instrument panel, and the secondary instrument panel storage box is located below the opening.

[0056] This structural design, through the storage box on the secondary dashboard, collects foreign objects that fall from the opening, preventing them from scattering everywhere and becoming difficult to clean, making it highly practical.

[0057] Furthermore, the sub-instrument storage box is laterally slidably mounted on the sub-instrument body frame.

[0058] This structural design, with the storage box on the side of the sub-dashboard sliding installation, makes it easier to remove and install foreign objects from the sub-dashboard frame, making it highly practical.

[0059] The present invention also discloses a vehicle including the above-described multi-stage foreign object separation air conditioning vent system.

[0060] The invention employing the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0061] 1. By positioning the receiving compartment in front of the air vent blades, it not only receives foreign objects entering the air vent assembly, but also facilitates the cleaning of foreign objects in the receiving compartment, making it highly practical.

[0062] 2. By moving the receiving plate, when cleaning foreign objects in the receiving compartment, the receiving plate can be operated to create an opening between the receiving plate and the fixing block, so that the foreign objects can be removed from the air outlet assembly under the action of gravity, making cleaning more convenient and practical.

[0063] 3. By rotating the receiving plate, when it is necessary to clean the foreign objects in the receiving compartment, simply flip the receiving plate to form an opening for the foreign objects to fall in, which is more convenient to use and more practical.

[0064] 4. The air vent baffle installed between the air vent knob and the receiving plate serves as the operating mechanism to open and close the receiving plate. Its position is partially shielded by the air vent knob and the assembly housing, so there is no need to worry about accidental activation, making it highly practical.

[0065] 5. The grating filters larger foreign objects before they fall into the receiving chamber through the receiving plate, forming a second level of isolation and improving the isolation capacity. It is highly practical. At the same time, by utilizing the separation of the grating from the receiving plate, foreign objects on the grating can also fall through the opening under the action of gravity.

[0066] 6. By setting the air vent baffle higher than the upper panel of the sub-instrument panel, the air vent baffle blocks debris from the upper panel of the sub-instrument panel, allowing foreign objects to be retained on the main body assembly of the sub-instrument panel as much as possible, making it less likely for them to enter the air vent assembly. This forms the first level of isolation for foreign objects, improves the isolation effect, and is highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0081] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. In addition, directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are only for reference to the directions in the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0082] Example 1:

[0083] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an air conditioning outlet system for multi-stage separation of foreign objects according to the present invention includes: an outlet assembly 1;

[0084] The air outlet assembly 1 includes an assembly housing and an air outlet blade 150 installed inside the assembly housing;

[0085] The air outlet assembly 1 has a receiving compartment on the side of the air outlet blade 150 near the air outlet.

[0086] In this embodiment, during use, foreign objects from the outside are received by the receiving chamber located in front of the air vent blade 150 as they enter the air vent assembly 1.

[0087] When cleaning foreign objects in the receiving compartment, there are no other parts to block the receiving compartment and the air outlet, so users can clean directly.

[0088] Example 2:

[0089] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an air conditioning outlet system for multi-stage separation of foreign objects according to the present invention includes: an outlet assembly 1;

[0090] The air outlet assembly 1 includes an assembly housing and an air outlet blade 150 installed inside the assembly housing;

[0091] The air outlet assembly 1 has a receiving compartment on the side of the air outlet blade 150 near the air outlet.

[0092] The receiving compartment includes a fixing block 15 and a receiving plate 14;

[0093] The fixing block 15 is located between the air outlet blade 150 and the receiving plate 14, and is inclined from top to bottom towards the receiving plate 14.

[0094] In practice, depending on the actual situation, the housing of the air outlet assembly 1 can be designed with a recessed platform in front of the air outlet blade 150 to form a receiving chamber. In this embodiment, the inclined setting of the fixing block 15 allows foreign objects that enter the air outlet assembly 1 through the air outlet blade 150 to slide into the receiving chamber through the inclined fixing block 15, which is highly practical.

[0095] The receiving plate 14 is movably mounted on the assembly housing;

[0096] When the receiving plate 14 is in the open state, an opening is formed between the fixing block 15 and the assembly housing.

[0097] In practice, depending on the actual situation, the receiving plate 14 can also be directly fixed on the assembly housing. In this embodiment, by moving the receiving plate 14, when cleaning foreign objects in the receiving compartment, the receiving plate 14 can be operated to form an opening between the receiving plate 14 and the fixing block 15, so that the foreign objects can be removed from the air outlet assembly 1 through the opening under the action of gravity, making cleaning more convenient and more practical.

[0098] The receiving plate 14 is rotatably mounted on the assembly housing.

[0099] In practice, depending on the actual situation, options can be made such as detachably installing the receiving plate 14 onto the assembly housing. By detaching and installing the receiving plate 14, the formation of the opening can be controlled. In this embodiment, by rotating the receiving plate 14, when it is necessary to clean the foreign objects in the receiving compartment, it is only necessary to flip the receiving plate 14 to form an opening for the foreign objects to fall into, which is more convenient to use and more practical.

[0100] When the receiving plate 14 is in the open state, the receiving plate 14 tilts from top to bottom in a direction away from the air outlet blade 150.

[0101] In practice, depending on the actual situation, the tilt angle of the receiving plate 14 after opening can be set to vertical. In this embodiment, by tilting the receiving plate 14, the foreign objects adhering to the receiving plate 14 will not cancel each other out in the vertical direction when the receiving plate 14 is in the open state due to gravity and wind force. This makes it easier for the foreign objects adhering to the receiving plate 14 to fall off, which is highly practical.

[0102] A foam 16 is provided between the fixing block 15 and the receiving plate 14. The foam 16 can be in the form of a strip or a plate. The foam 16 is fixedly installed on the fixing block 15 / or the receiving plate 14.

[0103] By setting up foam 16, the sealing between the fixing block 15 and the supporting plate 14 can be strengthened when the supporting plate 14 is in the closed state, thus avoiding air leakage during normal use of the vent. At the same time, foam 16 can also be used to buffer the relative movement between the fixing block 15 and the supporting plate 14, reducing abnormal noise and extending service life, making it highly practical.

[0104] Both the fixing block 15 and the receiving plate 14 have flanges at their lower ends.

[0105] By setting the flange, the contact area between the fixing block 15 and the receiving plate 14 is increased, which improves the sealing performance between the fixing block 15 and the receiving plate 14 and extends the service life.

[0106] A return spring 19 is installed between the receiving plate 14 and the assembly housing. The return spring 19 is used to drive the receiving plate 14 to return to its original position after the receiving plate 14 is opened.

[0107] In practice, depending on the actual situation, a structure such as a snap-fit ​​can be selected to complete the manual reset of the receiving plate 14. In this embodiment, the receiving plate 14 is automatically reset after being opened by the reset spring 19, which is more convenient to use and more practical.

[0108] Both the receiving plate 14 and the assembly housing are provided with spring mounting bases 18, and the return spring 19 is installed between the receiving plate 14 and the assembly housing via the spring mounting bases 18.

[0109] In practice, grooves can also be made on the receiving plate 14 and the assembly housing to limit the return spring 19. In this embodiment, the return spring 19 is fixed by the spring mounting base 18, which can prevent the return spring 19 from shifting. The structure is simple and practical.

[0110] An operating mechanism is also installed on the assembly housing, and a transmission mechanism is provided between the operating mechanism and the receiving plate 14.

[0111] In practice, depending on the actual situation, the operating mechanism can be omitted, and the user can directly operate the receiving plate 14. In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the receiving plate 14 is operated by the operating mechanism through the transmission mechanism, which is more convenient to use and more practical.

[0112] The air vent assembly 1 also includes an air vent knob 13;

[0113] The air vent knob 13 is used to adjust the air vent blades 150 to deflect the airflow downwards.

[0114] By adjusting the air vent blades 150 using the air vent knob 13, the airflow direction is made downward. After the receiving plate 14 is opened, the downward airflow direction can be used to blow foreign objects in the receiving chamber out of the air vent assembly 1, which is highly practical.

[0115] The operating mechanism is an air vent baffle 12 installed between the air vent knob 13 and the receiving plate 14. The single-sided clearance between the operating mechanism and the assembly housing is 0.1 mm.

[0116] In practice, depending on the actual situation, a connecting rod can be directly installed outside the assembly housing. The connecting rod is connected to the receiving plate 14 in a transmission manner to realize the opening and closing of the receiving plate 14. In this embodiment, the air vent baffle 12 installed between the air vent knob 13 and the receiving plate 14 serves as the operating mechanism to complete the opening and closing action of the receiving plate 14. Its position is shielded to a certain extent by the air vent knob 13 and the assembly housing, so there is no need to worry about accidental activation, making it highly practical.

[0117] The air vent baffle 12 is provided with a grille 120 on the side near the receiving plate 14;

[0118] When the receiving plate 14 is in the closed state, the lower end of the grille 120 abuts against the receiving plate 14;

[0119] When the receiving plate 14 is in the open state, the lower end of the grille 120 is detached from the receiving plate 14.

[0120] In practice, depending on the actual situation, the grille 120 can be omitted, allowing foreign objects to directly enter the receiving chamber. In this embodiment, the grille 120 filters larger foreign objects before they fall into the receiving chamber through the receiving plate 14, forming a second level of isolation and improving the isolation capability, which is highly practical. At the same time, by utilizing the separation of the grille 120 from the receiving plate 14, foreign objects on the grille 120 can also fall through the opening under the action of gravity.

[0121] The air vent baffle 12 is rotatably mounted on the assembly housing;

[0122] The transmission mechanism is a connecting rod 17 with both ends hinged to the air vent baffle 12 and the receiving plate 14, respectively.

[0123] The connecting rod 17 is connected to the mounting holes of the receiving plate 14 and the air vent baffle 12 via mushroom heads, and the left and right installation methods are the same.

[0124] In practice, depending on the actual situation, a method such as directly fixing the air vent baffle 12 and the receiving plate 14 together can be selected to complete the transmission connection between the air vent baffle 12 and the receiving plate 14. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism is formed by the connecting rod 17 to complete the transmission connection between the air vent baffle 12 and the receiving plate 14. The structure is simple, the installation is convenient, and the practicality is strong.

[0125] The upper end of the connecting rod 17 is hinged to the end of the air outlet baffle 12 away from the air outlet blade 150.

[0126] The lower end of the connecting rod 17 is hinged to the lower end of the receiving plate 14.

[0127] In practice, other hinge positions with the connecting rod 17 can be selected according to the actual situation. When it is necessary to open the receiving plate 14, the opening can be achieved by pulling the air vent baffle 12 upward. In this embodiment, by limiting the hinge position of the connecting rod 17, when it is necessary to open the receiving plate 14, it is only necessary to press the front end of the air vent baffle 12 to drive the lower end of the receiving plate 14 to tilt downward. The air vent baffle 12 is closer to the air outlet, making the operation more convenient.

[0128] It also includes the upper body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument panel, and the lower boundary of the air vent assembly 1 is higher than the upper body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument panel.

[0129] By setting the lower boundary of the air vent assembly 1 higher than the upper body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument panel, a height difference is formed between the air vent assembly 1 and the upper body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument panel. This height difference is used to block debris on the upper panel 21 of the sub-instrument panel, so that foreign objects are retained on the upper body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument panel as much as possible, making it less likely for them to enter the air vent assembly 1. This forms a first-level isolation for foreign objects, improves the isolation effect, and is highly practical.

[0130] The sub-instrument panel assembly 2 includes a sub-instrument panel 21;

[0131] The assembly housing includes an air vent baffle 11;

[0132] The upper end of the air vent baffle 11 is higher than the upper panel 21 of the sub-instrument panel in terms of horizontal height.

[0133] In practice, depending on the actual situation, the air vent baffle 11 and the upper panel 21 of the sub-instrument can be set coplanarly. In this embodiment, by setting the air vent baffle 11 higher than the upper panel 21 of the sub-instrument, the air vent baffle 11 can block the debris on the upper panel 21 of the sub-instrument, so that foreign objects are retained on the main body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument as much as possible, and are less likely to enter the air vent assembly 1, forming a first-level isolation for foreign objects, improving the isolation effect, and is highly practical.

[0134] The assembly housing includes an air vent baffle 11, which is inclined from top to bottom toward the support plate 14;

[0135] The lower end of the air vent baffle 11 rests against the upper end of the receiving plate 14.

[0136] In fact, depending on the actual situation, the upper end of the receiving plate 14 can be directly pressed against the assembly housing. In this embodiment, by setting the air vent baffle 11, the inclination of the air vent baffle 11 allows foreign objects on the assembly housing to slide directly down the air vent baffle 11 into the receiving compartment, which is highly practical.

[0137] It also includes the sub-instrument upper body assembly 2, which includes the sub-instrument upper body frame 23;

[0138] A secondary instrument panel storage box 22 is detachably mounted on the secondary instrument panel body frame 23, and the secondary instrument panel storage box 22 is located below the opening.

[0139] In fact, depending on the actual situation, slots can be made directly below the opening in the sub-instrument body frame 23. In this embodiment, the sub-instrument storage box 22 collects foreign objects that fall from the opening, which can avoid the problem of foreign objects falling from the opening and scattering everywhere, making it difficult to clean. It is highly practical.

[0140] The secondary instrument panel storage box 22 is slidably mounted on the secondary instrument panel body frame 23.

[0141] In practice, depending on the actual situation, a locking structure can also be selected to lock the sub-instrument storage box 22 onto the sub-instrument body frame 23. In this embodiment, the sub-instrument storage box 22 is slidably installed on the side, which makes it easier to remove and install it from the sub-instrument body frame 23 after collecting foreign objects, making it more practical.

[0142] The upper panel 21 of the sub-dashboard is recessed to form a storage space for users to place their belongings.

[0143] The present invention also discloses a vehicle including the above-described multi-stage foreign object separation air conditioning vent system.

[0144] In this embodiment, during use, the height difference between the air vent assembly 1 and the main body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument panel is used to block debris from the upper panel 21 of the sub-instrument panel, so that foreign objects are retained on the main body assembly 2 of the sub-instrument panel as much as possible, and are less likely to enter the air vent assembly 1, thus forming a first-level isolation for foreign objects.

[0145] Foreign objects enter the air outlet assembly 1 through the air outlet baffle 11. Before the foreign objects fall into the receiving chamber through the receiving plate 14, the grille 120 filters the larger foreign objects once, forming a second level of isolation.

[0146] Foreign objects continue to slide into the air vent assembly 1 through the grille 120 and fall into the receiving compartment consisting of the receiving plate 14 and the fixing block 15. The receiving compartment is temporarily stored to prevent foreign objects entering the air conditioning vent from directly entering the air conditioning unit.

[0147] When it is necessary to clean foreign objects in the receiving compartment, the air outlet blades 150 can be adjusted by using the air outlet knob 13 to make the airflow direction downward.

[0148] Then press the air vent baffle 12, and through the connecting rod 17, overcome the prestress of the return spring 19, causing the lower end of the receiving plate 14 to tilt downward, thereby forming an opening between the receiving plate 14 and the fixing block 15.

[0149] At this time, the foreign object in the receiving compartment falls into the sub-instrument storage box 22 of the sub-instrument main body assembly 2 under the action of gravity and wind.

[0150] At the same time, the foreign objects on the grille 120 also fall into the sub-dashboard storage box 22 through the opening under the action of gravity;

[0151] After the fall is complete, release the pressure on the air vent baffle 12, and the reset spring 19 will drive the air vent baffle 12 and the receiving plate 14 to reset.
