[0037] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the solutions of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments.

[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an air outlet structure of an air conditioner, including a decorative panel 2, a first air outlet housing 1, and a second air outlet housing (not shown in the figure); a first mounting hole 21 and a second mounting hole 22 are formed in the decorative panel 2; the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the first mounting hole 21, and the second air outlet housing is inserted into the second mounting hole 22; wherein, at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 is provided at the first mounting hole 21, at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 is provided at the second mounting hole 22, and the position of at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the first mounting hole 21 is different from the position of the second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the second mounting hole 22; a relief space 14 corresponding to the first anti-misalignment rib 211 along the insertion direction is provided on the first air outlet housing 1, and a contact protrusion 13 offset from the relief space 14 along the circumferential direction of the first air outlet housing 1 is provided, and the relative position of at least one contact protrusion 13 on the first air outlet housing 1 is the same as the relative position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22, so that when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22, at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 abuts and interferes with the contact protrusion 13 along the insertion direction.

[0040] Wherein, after the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the first mounting hole 21, all the first anti-misalignment ribs 211 are inserted into the corresponding relief spaces 14 along the insertion direction. For example, Figure 6 after the first air outlet housing 1 shown is inserted into Figure 4 the first mounting hole 21 shown, Figure 4 the first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the upper left corner of the first mounting hole 21 in [the figure] is inserted into Figure 6 the relief space 14 at the upper right corner of the first air outlet housing 1 in [the figure].

[0041] The fact that the position of at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the first mounting hole 21 is different from the position of the second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the second mounting hole 22 can be understood as that the position of at least one first anti-misalignment rib relative to the center of the first mounting hole is different from the position of all the second anti-misalignment ribs relative to the center of the second mounting hole. For example Figure 4 、 Figure 5 as shown in [the figure], both the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 are rectangular mounting holes, there is one first anti-misalignment rib 211 and one second anti-misalignment rib 221, the first anti-misalignment rib 211 is provided at the upper left corner of the first mounting hole 21, and the second anti-misalignment rib 221 is provided at the upper right corner of the second mounting hole 22.

[0042] The relative position of at least one abutting protrusion 13 on the first air outlet housing 1 is the same as the relative position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22, that is, when the first air outlet housing 1 is installed in the second mounting hole 22, the position of at least one abutting protrusion 13 relative to the center of the second mounting hole 22 and the position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 relative to the center of the second mounting hole 22 at least partially overlap. For example, when Figure 6 The first air outlet housing 1 shown is installed Figure 5 When the second mounting hole 22 is shown, the first air outlet housing 1 is Figure 6 The abutment protrusion 13 at the upper left corner and Figure 5 The second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the upper right corner of the second mounting hole 22 at least partially overlaps along the insertion direction, so that the abutting protrusion 13 and the second anti-misalignment rib 221 abut and interfere with each other, preventing the first air outlet shell 1 from being misinstalled in the second mounting hole 22 when it is correctly installed in the first mounting hole 21.

[0043] In the air-conditioning air outlet structure provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 and at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 are respectively provided at the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22, and the first air outlet shell 1 is provided with an avoidance space 14 corresponding to the first anti-misalignment rib 211 along the insertion direction, and an abutment protrusion 13 staggered from the avoidance space 14 along the circumferential direction of the first air outlet shell 1, and the relative position of at least one abutment protrusion 13 on the first air outlet shell 1 is the same as the relative position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22. In the actual installation process, the first air outlet shell 1 is installed into the first mounting hole 22. When the first air outlet shell 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 21, all the first anti-misalignment ribs 211 are inserted into the corresponding avoidance space 14 along the insertion direction, indicating that the first air outlet shell 1 is installed correctly. However, when the operation is wrong and the first air outlet shell 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 will interfere with the abutment protrusion 13 along the insertion direction, which is convenient for quickly identifying the wrong installation. Even if the first air outlet shell 1 is forcibly installed into the second mounting hole 22, the second anti-misalignment rib 221 and the abutment protrusion 13 are always in a state of abutment and interference, ensuring that the first air outlet shell 1 will not be misinstalled, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing violent misinstallation.

[0044] Similarly, in order to prevent the second air outlet housing from being installed into the first installation hole 21 , a corresponding avoidance space and abutment protrusion are also provided on the second air outlet housing.

[0045] Furthermore, the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 are both rectangular mounting holes, the first air outlet shell 1 is a rectangular shell adapted to the shape of the first mounting hole 21, and the relative position of at least one abutment protrusion 13 on the first air outlet shell 1 is centrally symmetrical with the relative position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22.

[0046] Among them, the rectangular mounting holes can be understood as strip-shaped mounting holes, rounded rectangular mounting holes, etc.

[0047] The relative positions of at least one abutting protrusion 13 on the first air outlet housing 1 and at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22 are centrosymmetric. That is, when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22, the position of at least one abutting protrusion 13 relative to the center of the second mounting hole 22 and the position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 relative to the center of the second mounting hole 22 are at least partially centrosymmetric. For example, when Figure 6 the shown first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22, the first air outlet housing 1 is at Figure 6 the abutting protrusion 13 at the lower right corner and Figure 5 the second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the upper right corner in the second mounting hole 22 in Figure 6 are at least partially centrosymmetric. When the first air outlet housing 1 is rotated 180° in the state shown and inserted into the second mounting hole 22, the abutting protrusion 13 at the lower right corner of the first air outlet housing 1 and Figure 6 the second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the upper right corner in the second mounting hole 22 in Figure 5 are at least partially coincident along the insertion direction, so that the abutting protrusion 13 and the second anti-misalignment rib 221 abut and interfere, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 after being rotated 180° in the state of being correctly inserted into the first mounting hole 21.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the relative positions of at least one abutting protrusion 13 on the first air outlet housing 1 and at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22 are the same, and the relative positions of at least one abutting protrusion 13 on the first air outlet housing 1 and at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22 are centrosymmetric, it can not only prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, but also prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 after being rotated 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21.

[0049] Furthermore, the relative positions of at least one abutting protrusion 13 on the first air outlet housing 1 and at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 in the first mounting hole 21 are centrosymmetric.

[0050] The relative position of at least one abutting protrusion 13 on the first air outlet housing 1 is centrosymmetric with the relative position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 in the second mounting hole 22, that is, when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the first mounting hole 21, the position of at least one abutting protrusion 13 relative to the center of the first mounting hole 21 is at least partially centrosymmetric with the position of at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 relative to the center of the first mounting hole 21. For example, when Figure 6 the first air outlet housing 1 shown is inserted into the first mounting hole 21, the first air outlet housing 1 is at Figure 6 the abutting protrusion 13 at the lower left corner is at least partially centrosymmetric with Figure 4 the first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the upper left corner in the first mounting hole 21 in Figure 6 such that when the first air outlet housing 1 is rotated 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21 and then inserted into the first mounting hole 21, the abutting protrusion 13 at Figure 4 the lower left corner in the first air outlet housing 1 and the first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the upper left corner in the first mounting hole 21 in

[0051] are at least partially coincident along the insertion direction, so that the abutting protrusion 13 abuts and interferes with the second anti-misalignment rib 221, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 after being rotated 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21.

[0052] Specifically, at least one corner of the first mounting hole 21 is provided with a first anti-misalignment rib 211, and at least one corner of the second mounting hole 22 is provided with a second anti-misalignment rib 221; wherein, the position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the second mounting hole 22 is different from the position of the first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the first mounting hole 21, and is different from the position of the first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the first mounting hole 21 after the first anti-misalignment rib 211 rotates 180° horizontally around the central axis of the first mounting hole 21; at least one corner of the first air outlet housing 1 is provided with an avoidance space 14 corresponding one-to-one with the first anti-misalignment rib 211 along the insertion direction, and the remaining corners of the first air outlet housing 1 are provided with abutting protrusions 13.

[0053] Since the first air outlet housing 1 is a rectangular housing, the first mounting hole 21 is a rectangular mounting hole, at least one corner of the first mounting hole 21 is provided with a first anti-misalignment rib 211, at least one corner of the first air outlet housing 1 is provided with an avoidance space 14 corresponding one-to-one with the first anti-misalignment rib 211 along the insertion direction, and the remaining corners of the first air outlet housing 1 are provided with abutting protrusions 13, when the first air outlet housing 1 is rotated 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21 and then inserted into the first mounting hole 21, at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 and at least one abutting protrusion 13 at least partially overlap along the insertion direction, so that at least one first anti-misalignment rib 211 and at least one abutting protrusion 13 abut and interfere with each other, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21.

[0054] Moreover, the second mounting hole 22 is a rectangular mounting hole, at least one corner of the second mounting hole 22 is provided with a second anti-misalignment rib 221, and the position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the second mounting hole 22 is different from the position of the first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the first mounting hole 21, so that when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 and the abutting protrusion 13 at least partially overlap along the insertion direction, so that at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 and the abutting protrusion 13 abut and interfere with each other, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21.

[0055] Furthermore, the position of at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the second mounting hole 22 is different from the position of the first anti-misalignment rib 211 at the first mounting hole 21 after the first anti-misalignment rib 211 rotates 180° horizontally around the central axis of the first mounting hole 21. When the first air outlet housing 1 is rotated 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21 and then inserted into the second mounting hole 22, at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 and the abutting protrusion 13 at least partially coincide in the insertion direction, so that at least one second anti-misalignment rib 221 abuts against and interferes with the abutting protrusion 13, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, both the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 are rectangular mounting holes, both the first anti-misalignment rib 211 and the second anti-misalignment rib 221 are one, the first anti-misalignment rib 211 is located at one corner position of the first mounting hole 21 along the first diagonal direction X, and the second anti-misalignment rib 221 is located at one corner position of the second mounting hole 22 along the second diagonal direction Y; the first air outlet housing 1 is a rectangular housing adapted to the shape of the first mounting hole 21, and a relief space 14 corresponding to the first anti-misalignment rib 211 in the insertion direction is provided at one corner of the first air outlet housing 1, and abutting protrusions 13 are provided at the other three corners of the first air outlet housing 1.

[0057] As Figure 6 shown, the abutting protrusions 13 provided at the three corners of the first air outlet housing 1 are respectively named the first abutting protrusion 131, the second abutting protrusion 132, and the third abutting protrusion 133; when the first air outlet housing 1 is correctly inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the state shown Figure 6 shown, the first anti-misalignment rib 211 is inserted into the relief space 14 in the insertion direction; when the first air outlet housing 1 is rotated 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state shown in the figure and then inserted into the first mounting hole 21, as Figures 7 - 8 shown, the first anti-misalignment rib 211 abuts against and interferes with the second abutting protrusion 132 in the insertion direction, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise; when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state shown Figure 6 shown, as Figure 9 shown, the second anti-misalignment rib 221 abuts against and interferes with the first abutting protrusion 131 in the insertion direction, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22; when the first air outlet housing 1 is rotated 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state shown Figure 6 shown and then inserted into the second mounting hole 22, as Figures 10 - 11 shown, the second anti-misalignment rib 221 abuts against and interferes with the third abutting protrusion 133 in the insertion direction, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0058] The air outlet structure provided in this embodiment can prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, and can also prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21. It can further prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, realizing that the first air outlet housing 1 can only be inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the correct state, and preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 or the second mounting hole 22.

[0059] In another specific embodiment, both the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 are rectangular mounting holes. As Figure 12 shown, there are two first anti-misalignment ribs 211 and two second anti-misalignment ribs 221. The two first anti-misalignment ribs 211 are respectively located at two opposite corner positions of the first mounting hole 21 along the length direction, and the two second anti-misalignment ribs 221 are respectively located at two opposite corner positions of the second mounting hole 22 along the width direction; the first air outlet housing 1 is a rectangular housing adapted to the shape of the first mounting hole 21, and avoiding spaces 14 corresponding to the two first anti-misalignment ribs 211 along the insertion direction are provided at two of the corners of the first air outlet housing 1, and abutting protrusions 13 are provided at the other two corners of the first air outlet housing 1.

[0060] As Figure 12 shown, the abutting protrusions 13 provided at two corners of the first air outlet housing 1 are respectively named the first abutting protrusion 131 and the second abutting protrusion 132; when the first air outlet housing 1 is correctly inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the state as Figure 12 shown, the two first anti-misalignment ribs 211 are respectively inserted into their corresponding avoiding spaces 14 along the insertion direction; when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state as Figure 12 shown, the two first anti-misalignment ribs 211 abut and interfere with the first abutting protrusion 131 and the second abutting protrusion 132 along the insertion direction, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise; when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state as Figure 12 shown, one of the second anti-misalignment ribs 221 located Figure 12 below abuts and interferes with the second abutting protrusion 132 along the insertion direction, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22; when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state as Figure 12 shown, one of the second anti-misalignment ribs 221 located Figure 12A second anti-misassembly rib 221 above abuts and interferes with the first abutting protrusion 131 along the insertion direction, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0061] The air outlet structure provided in this embodiment can prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, can also prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, and can further prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, realizing that the first air outlet housing 1 can only be inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the correct state and preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misassembled into the first mounting hole 21 or the second mounting hole 22.

[0062] In yet another embodiment, both the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 are rectangular mounting holes. As Figure 13 shown, there are three first anti-misassembly ribs 211 and three second anti-misassembly ribs 221. The three first anti-misassembly ribs 211 are respectively located at two corner positions of the first mounting hole 21 along the first diagonal direction X and one corner position along the second diagonal direction Y. The three second anti-misassembly ribs 221 are located at two corner positions of the second mounting hole 22 along the second diagonal direction Y and one corner position along the first diagonal direction X. The first air outlet housing 1 is a rectangular housing adapted to the shape of the first mounting hole 21. Three of the corners of the first air outlet housing 1 are provided with avoidance spaces 14 corresponding one by one to the three first anti-misassembly ribs 211 along the insertion direction, and the remaining one corner of the first air outlet housing 1 is provided with an abutting protrusion 13.

[0063] When the first air outlet housing 1 is correctly inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the state as Figure 13 shown, the three first anti-misassembly ribs 211 are respectively inserted into their corresponding avoidance spaces 14 along the insertion direction. When the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state as Figure 13 shown, the abutting protrusion 13 abuts and interferes with Figure 14 one of the first anti-misassembly ribs 211 at the lower left corner, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise. When the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state as Figure 13 shown, the abutting protrusion 13 abuts and interferes with Figure 14 one of the second anti-misassembly ribs 221 at the upper right corner, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22. When the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state as Figure 13 shown, the abutting protrusion 13 abuts and interferes with Figure 14The second anti-misalignment rib 221 at the lower left corner abuts and interferes to prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0064] The air outlet structure provided in this embodiment can prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, can also prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, and can further prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, realizing that the first air outlet housing 1 can only be inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the correct state and preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 or the second mounting hole 22.

[0065] In another embodiment, both the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 22 are rectangular mounting holes. As Figure 14 shown, there is one first anti-misalignment rib 211 and one second anti-misalignment rib 221. The first anti-misalignment rib 211 is located at one corner position of the first mounting hole 21 along the first diagonal direction X, and the second anti-misalignment rib 221 is located at one corner position of the second mounting hole 22 along the second diagonal direction Y; the first air outlet housing 1 is a rectangular housing adapted to the shape of the first mounting hole 21, and a relief space 14 corresponding to the first anti-misalignment rib 211 along the insertion direction is provided at one corner of the first air outlet housing 1. The abutting protrusion 13 extends along the circumferential direction of the first air outlet housing 1, and the relief space 14 is located between the head and the tail of the abutting protrusion 13.

[0066] When the first air outlet housing 1 is correctly inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the state as Figure 14 shown, the first anti-misalignment rib 211 is inserted into the corresponding relief space 14 along the insertion direction; when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state as Figure 14 shown, the abutting protrusion 13 abuts and interferes with the first anti-misalignment rib 211 to prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise; when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state as Figure 14 shown, the abutting protrusion 13 abuts and interferes with the second anti-misalignment rib 221 to prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22; when the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise in the state as Figure 14 shown, the abutting protrusion 13 abuts and interferes with the second anti-misalignment rib 221 to prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being inserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0067] The air outlet structure provided in this embodiment can prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, can also prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21, and can further prevent the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the second mounting hole 22 after rotating 180° in the state of being inserted into the first mounting hole 21. It realizes that the first air outlet housing 1 can only be inserted into the first mounting hole 21 in the correct state, preventing the first air outlet housing 1 from being misinserted into the first mounting hole 21 or the second mounting hole 22. Specifically, a first support portion 212 extending toward the inner peripheral region of the first mounting hole 21 is formed on the inner wall of the first mounting hole 21, and a first anti-misalignment rib 211 is provided on the first support portion 212. A second support portion 222 extending toward the inner peripheral region of the second mounting hole 22 is formed on the inner wall of the second mounting hole 22, and a second anti-misalignment rib 221 is provided on the second support portion 222. The first air outlet housing 1 has an air outlet passage 11 and an annular outer extension portion 12 surrounding the circumferential outer side of the air outlet passage 11. The annular outer extension portion 12 is correspondingly arranged with the first support portion 212 along the insertion direction of the first air outlet housing 1, and an avoidance space 14 and an abutting protrusion 13 are provided on the annular outer extension portion 12.

[0068] By providing the first anti-misalignment rib 211 on the first support portion 212 and the second anti-misalignment rib 221 on the second support portion 222, it is convenient to ensure that the connection strength between the first anti-misalignment rib 211 and the first mounting hole 21 and the connection strength between the second anti-misalignment rib 221 and the second mounting hole 22 meet the requirements. By providing the avoidance space 14 and the abutting protrusion 13 on the annular outer extension portion 12, on the one hand, the space of the air outlet passage 11 can be not occupied, ensuring that the air volume passing through the air outlet passage 11 meets the requirements, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to layout the avoidance space 14 and the abutting protrusion 13 according to the position of the anti-misalignment rib.

[0069] In addition, the second air outlet housing also has a corresponding air outlet passage. After the first air outlet housing 1 is inserted into the first mounting hole 21 and the second air outlet housing is inserted into the second mounting hole 22, the air outlet passages provided in the first air outlet housing 1 and the second air outlet housing can be respectively communicated with the air outlet pipe of the air conditioner. During the operation of the air conditioner, the cold and hot air generated by the air conditioner can be discharged through the air outlet passage 11 of the first air outlet housing 1 or through the air outlet passage of the second air outlet housing.

[0070] When the first air outlet housing 1 is correctly inserted into the first mounting hole 21, the annular outer extension portion 12 abuts against the surface of the decorative plate 2.

[0071] When the first air outlet housing 1 is misinstalled in the second mounting hole 22 and the second anti-misinstallation rib 221 interferes with the abutting protrusion 13, there will be a gap between the annular extension 12 and the surface of the decorative plate 2. That is, when the first air outlet housing 1 is installed in the mounting hole provided on the decorative plate 2, it can be identified whether there is a misinstallation by observing whether there is a gap between the annular extension 12 and the surface of the decorative plate 2, which is convenient and fast.

[0072] Furthermore, the height by which the first anti-misinstallation rib 211 protrudes from the first support portion 212 is H1, the height by which the second anti-misinstallation rib 221 protrudes from the second support portion 222 is H2, and the height by which the abutting protrusion 13 protrudes from the annular extension 12 is H3. The distance from the first support portion 212 to the surface of the decorative plate 2 is L1, and the distance from the second support portion 222 to the surface of the decorative plate 2 is L2. Among them, H1 + H3 > L1, and H2 + H3 > L2.

[0073] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the distance from the first support portion 212 to the surface of the decorative plate 2 specifically refers to the shortest distance from the first support portion 212 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction of the first air outlet housing 1 to the surface of the area on the decorative plate 2 around the first mounting hole 21. Correspondingly, the distance from the second support portion 222 to the surface of the decorative plate 2 specifically refers to the shortest distance from the second support portion 222 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction of the first air outlet housing 1 to the surface of the area on the decorative plate 2 around the second mounting hole 22.

[0074] With such a setting, when the first air outlet housing 1 is misinstalled in the first mounting hole 21 at a wrong angle and the first anti-misinstallation rib 211 interferes with the abutting protrusion 13, the gap between the annular extension 12 and the surface of the decorative plate 2 is more obvious, which is further more convenient for the operator to identify the misinstallation. It can also make the gap between the annular extension 12 and the surface of the decorative plate 2 more obvious when the first air outlet housing 1 is misinstalled in the second mounting hole 22 and the second anti-misinstallation rib 221 interferes with the abutting protrusion 13, which is further more convenient for the operator to identify the misinstallation.

[0075] In a specific implementation, it can be set that 5mm ≤ H1 ≤ 8mm, 5mm ≤ H2 ≤ 8mm, 5mm ≤ H3 ≤ 8mm, and L1 and L2 can be reasonably set according to H1, H2, and H3. Exemplarily, H1, H2, and H3 are all set to 6mm, and L1 and L2 are both set to 8mm. In this specific example, when the first air outlet housing 1 is misinstalled in the first mounting hole 21 at the wrong angle and the first anti-misinstallation rib 211 interferes with the abutting protrusion 13, there is a 4mm gap between the annular extension 12 and the surface of the trim panel 2, which is more convenient for the operator to identify the misinstallation; correspondingly, when the first air outlet housing 1 is misinstalled in the second mounting hole 22 and the second anti-misinstallation rib 221 interferes with the abutting protrusion 13, there is a 4mm gap between the annular extension 12 and the surface of the trim panel 2, which is more convenient for the operator to identify the misinstallation.

[0076] It should be noted that in a specific implementation, the values of H1, H2, H3, L1, and L2 are not limited to the above specific limitations and can be reasonably set according to the actual situation, as long as it is ensured that H1 + H3 > L1 and H2 + H3 > L2, so that there is a relatively obvious gap between the annular extension 12 and the surface of the trim panel 2 during misinstallation.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, the abutting protrusion 13 is a boss. When the first air outlet housing 1 is misinstalled in the second mounting hole 22, the second anti-misinstallation rib 221 interferes with the tabletop of the boss. With such a setting, the contact area between the anti-misinstallation rib and the abutting protrusion 13 is increased, and the reliability of the interference between the anti-misinstallation rib and the abutting protrusion 13 when the air outlet housing is misinstalled is improved.

[0078] The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a vehicle, including the air-conditioning outlet structure in any of the above embodiments.

[0079] The vehicle can specifically be a fuel vehicle, a new energy vehicle, etc. The air-conditioning outlet structure can be located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and the air outlet channels respectively provided in the first air outlet housing 1 and the second air outlet housing are communicated with the air outlet pipes of the vehicle's air conditioner, so that the cold and hot air generated by the air conditioner can be blown into the passenger compartment to provide a comfortable riding environment for the driver and passengers.
