Detailed implementation mode

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0024] As Figures 1-8 shown, an air outlet assembly in this embodiment includes an air outlet housing 1, an air outlet component 2, a flexible decorative panel 3, and an air duct assembly 4. The air outlet housing 1 has a component accommodation cavity 101 that penetrates in the front - rear direction. The air outlet component 2 is arranged in the component accommodation cavity 101 in a manner that can move in the left - right direction. The flexible decorative panel 3 is arranged at the opening of the component accommodation cavity 101, and the flexible decorative panel 3 is connected to the air outlet component 2; the length of the air duct assembly 4 is adjustable in the left - right direction; when the air outlet component 2 moves in the left - right direction, it can drive the flexible decorative panel 3 to move and drive the air duct assembly 4 to change its length.

[0025] In this embodiment, the air duct assembly 4 includes an induction air duct 401, a telescopic air duct 402, and an outlet air duct 403 that are connected in sequence. The induction air duct 401 is fixedly connected to the air outlet housing 1, the outlet air duct 403 is fixedly connected to the air outlet component 2, and the telescopic air duct 402 can be telescoped in the left - right direction; when the air outlet component 2 moves in the left - right direction, it can drive the induction air duct 401 and the flexible decorative panel 3 to move and drive the telescopic air duct 402 to telescope.

[0026] During use, the user can adjust different air - receiving positions by sliding the air outlet component left and right, increasing the user's air - receiving area and positions in the left - right direction compared to traditional fixed - type air outlet assemblies. At the same time, since the user can move the air outlet component 2 and drive the flexible decorative panel 3 to move, it can greatly improve the playability, flexibility, and interactivity.

[0027] The air duct assembly 4 can introduce the air flow from the air conditioner into the air outlet component 2. One end of the air intake duct 401 of the air duct assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the air outlet housing 1, and on the other hand, it can be communicated with the air duct of the air conditioning system to introduce the air flow from the air conditioner into the air duct assembly 4. The air outlet duct 403 of the air duct assembly 4 can introduce the internal air flow into the air outlet component 2. At the same time, the air outlet duct 403 can move synchronously with the air outlet component 2. During the movement of the air outlet duct 403, the telescopic air duct 402 can adapt to the relative position change between the air outlet duct 403 and the air intake duct 401 through telescoping. The successively connected air intake duct 401, telescopic air duct 402, and air outlet duct 403 are not prone to air leakage and have little abnormal noise, which can improve the user experience and the vehicle quality feeling.

[0028] The air inlet side 203 of the air outlet component 2 is communicated with the air duct assembly 4, and the air outlet side 204 of the air outlet component 2 faces the interior of the vehicle. The air outlet component 2 is used to discharge the air flow from the air conditioner into the vehicle. The flexible decorative panel 3 is used to cover the opening of the air outlet housing 1 when the air outlet component 2 moves left and right, improving the appearance texture.

[0029] The air outlet component 2, the flexible decorative panel 3, and the air duct assembly 4 are all integrated with the air outlet housing 1. The air outlet housing 1 is used to connect with the vehicle instrument panel, and can supply the air outlet assembly as a whole, which can improve the overall vehicle assembly efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, guiding ribs are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the air outlet component 2, and guiding grooves matching with the guiding ribs are arranged on the air outlet housing 1.

[0031] When the guiding ribs are inserted into the guiding grooves, the movement direction of the air outlet component 2 can be restricted, ensuring that the air outlet component 2 moves in the left-right direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, the guiding ribs include a first rib 201 and a second rib 202 arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction, and the guiding grooves include a first groove 104 matching with the first rib 201 and a second groove 105 matching with the second rib 202.

[0033] The first rib 201 and the second rib 202 are parallel to each other, and their lengths are both in the left-right direction. The double-track guiding ensures that the movement direction of the air outlet component 2 is more accurate. At the same time, the double-track support can ensure the stability of the air outlet component 2, ensure the accurate position of the air outlet component 2 in the front-rear direction, and ensure that the air outlet component 2 does not tilt during the left-right movement.

[0034] In this embodiment, the flexible trim plate 3 includes a first trim plate 301 and a second trim plate 302; the left side of the first trim plate 301 is connected to the right side of the air outlet member 2, and the right side of the second trim plate 302 is connected to the left side of the air outlet member 2; the positions of the left side of the first trim plate 301 and the right side of the second trim plate 302 in the front-rear direction are the same as those of the second rib 202, and the upper and lower sides of the first trim plate 301 and the upper and lower sides of the second trim plate 302 are all in sliding fit with the second groove 105.

[0035] To ensure that the air outlet member 2 can move left and right, the left-right width of the opening of the member accommodation cavity 101 is greater than the left-right width of the air outlet member 2, so that both the left and right sides of the air outlet member 2 are exposed corresponding to the opening of the member accommodation cavity 101. Therefore, flexible trim plates 3 need to be provided on the left and right sides of the air outlet member 2 respectively for masking to improve the appearance texture. The left side of the first trim plate 301 and the right side of the second trim plate 302 can be fixedly connected to the outside of the air outlet member 2 by gluing or other means.

[0036] The second rib 202, the first trim plate 301 and the second trim plate 302 all share the second groove 105, reducing the number of grooves and the processing cost.

[0037] In this embodiment, the air outlet housing 1 is respectively provided with a left trim plate accommodation cavity 102 and a right trim plate accommodation cavity 103 corresponding to the left and right sides of the member accommodation cavity 101; a left extension groove 106 communicating with the second groove 105 is provided in the left trim plate accommodation cavity 102, and a right extension groove 107 communicating with the second groove 105 is provided in the right trim plate accommodation cavity 103.

[0038] During the process of the air outlet member 2 moving leftward, it can push the second trim plate 302 to move leftward and pull the first trim plate 301 to move leftward. Part of the second trim plate 302 moves into the left trim plate accommodation cavity 102 for storage, and part of the first trim plate 301 originally located in the right trim plate accommodation cavity 103 is pulled out and moves onto the second groove 105. During the process of the air outlet member 2 moving rightward, it can push the second trim plate 302 to move rightward and pull the first trim plate 301 to move rightward. Part of the first trim plate 301 moves into the right trim plate accommodation cavity 103 for storage, and part of the second trim plate 302 originally located in the left trim plate accommodation cavity 102 is pulled out and moves onto the second groove 105.

[0039] In this embodiment, both the first groove 104 and the second groove 105 are in the shape of a horizontal "one" character with the length along the left-right direction, and both the left extension groove 106 and the right extension groove 107 are in a bent shape with non-right-angled corners; both the left extension groove 106 and the right extension groove 107 are located on the front side of the second groove 105; the positions where the left extension groove 106 communicates with the second groove 105 and the positions where the right extension groove 107 communicates with the second groove 105 are both rounded transitions.

[0040] The bent shape with non-right-angled corners can be: a "U" - shaped groove, a spiral groove, or a notched rounded - rectangle groove.

[0041] Among them, the head end of the "U" - shaped groove is connected to the second groove 105 through a rounded transition, and the tail end of the "U" - shaped groove is located on the side away from the second groove 105, so that the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302 can slide in the track formed by the second groove 105 and the "U" - shaped groove. Since the "U" - shaped groove forms a bent shape, it can guide and accommodate the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302, thereby reducing the space requirements of the left decorative - plate accommodation cavity 102 and the right decorative - plate accommodation cavity 103. The corners are all in the shape of non - right - angled arcs, which can make the movement of the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302 more smooth, avoid bending deformation, and ensure that the appearance of the first decorative plate 301 and the second decorative plate 302 has no creases.

[0042] The head end of the spiral groove is located on the side away from the center of the spiral, the tail end of the spiral groove is located at the center of the spiral, and the head end of the spiral groove is connected to the second groove 105 through a rounded transition, so that the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302 can slide in the track formed by the second groove 105 and the spiral groove. Since the spiral groove forms a spiral shape, it can guide and accommodate the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302, thereby reducing the space requirements of the left decorative - plate accommodation cavity 102 and the right decorative - plate accommodation cavity 103. The spiral shape can also make the movement of the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302 more smooth, avoid bending deformation, and ensure that the appearance of the first decorative plate 301 and the second decorative plate 302 has no creases.

[0043] The missing-corner rounded-rectangle groove means that one corner of the rectangle is missing, making it a discontinuous rectangle. Since the missing-corner rounded-rectangle groove is discontinuous, there are a head end and a tail end. The head end of the missing-corner rounded-rectangle groove is connected to the second groove 105 through a rounded transition, enabling the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302 to slide in the track formed by the second groove 105 and the missing-corner rounded-rectangle groove. Due to the bent shape formed by the missing-corner rounded-rectangle groove, it can guide and accommodate the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302, thereby reducing the space requirements of the left decorative plate accommodation cavity 102 and the right decorative plate accommodation cavity 103. The corners are all arc-shaped and non-right-angled, which can make the movement of the first decorative plate 301 or the second decorative plate 302 more smooth, avoid bending deformation, and ensure that the appearances of the first decorative plate 301 and the second decorative plate 302 have no creases.

[0044] The left extension groove 106 and the right extension groove 107 are both located on the forward side of the second groove 105, which can prevent the left decorative plate accommodation cavity 102 and the right decorative plate accommodation cavity 103 from protruding backward from the component accommodation cavity 101, thus ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the air outlet assembly.

[0045] In this embodiment, the air outlet housing 1 includes a lower housing 1b and an upper housing 1a disposed on the lower housing 1b, and the lower housing 1b and the upper housing 1a are both provided with guiding grooves.

[0046] The lower housing 1b and the upper housing 1a adopt a split structure, which is convenient for processing and assembly. The lower housing 1b and the upper housing 1a both have a first groove 104, a second groove 105, a left extension groove 106, and a right extension groove 107, which can guide and limit both the upper and lower sides of the air outlet housing 1, the first decorative plate 301, and the second decorative plate 302, and can increase the stability of the air outlet housing 1, the first decorative plate 301, and the second decorative plate 302, preventing tilting.

[0047] Both the lower housing 1b and the upper housing 1a have a part of the component accommodation cavity 101, a left decorative plate accommodation cavity 102, and a right decorative plate accommodation cavity 103. After the lower housing 1b and the upper housing 1a are butted, a complete component accommodation cavity 101, a left decorative plate accommodation cavity 102, and a right decorative plate accommodation cavity 103 are formed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the telescopic air duct 402 includes a plurality of movable pipe bodies sleeved in sequence from right to left. The movable pipe body located on the rightmost side is inserted into the air guide pipe 401 in a manner that can move in the left-right direction, and the right part of the air outlet pipe 403 is inserted into the movable pipe body located on the leftmost side in a manner that can move in the left-right direction; the air guide pipe 401, the air outlet pipe 403, and the plurality of movable pipe bodies are all provided with limiting structures and sealing structures.

[0049] The limiting structure can limit the stroke of the left - right movement, and the sealing structure can prevent air leakage between different pipe bodies, reduce the abnormal noise of wind caused by air leakage, reduce the abnormal scraping noise generated by moving friction, and reduce the abnormal collision noise generated by pipe contact, thereby further improving the user experience and enhancing the vehicle quality sense.

[0050] The sealing structure is each annular sealing ring in the following text, and the limiting structure is each limiting annular flange in the following text. When one limiting annular flange directly abuts against another limiting annular flange, or abuts against another limiting annular flange through an annular sealing ring, the continuous movement is restricted.

[0051] In this embodiment, the number of the movable pipe bodies is two, and the two movable pipe bodies are a right pipe body 4021 and a left pipe body 4022 respectively; The right part of the air guide pipe 401 is used to connect with the air - conditioning system.
