[0045] Here, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0046] If there are terms related to directional indications or positional relationships in the embodiments of this application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indication or positional relationship will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this application are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0047] The interior decoration component and vehicle of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can complement or be combined with each other.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides an interior decoration assembly, including a main housing 10, an air outlet assembly 20, a speaker 30 and a driving assembly 40. The air outlet assembly 20, the speaker 30 and the driving assembly 40 are all arranged on the main housing 10. The air outlet assembly 20 is arranged below the speaker 30.

[0049] Please also refer to Figures 4 to 6 The main shell 10 is an integrally formed structure, including a support plate 11 and a peripheral wall 12 arranged around the support plate 11. An upper receiving chamber 13 is provided at the upper portion of the main shell 10. Specifically, the upper portion of the support plate 11 and the peripheral wall 12 form an upper receiving chamber 13, and the top of the upper receiving chamber 13 is open upward. The front side of the main shell 10 includes an annular air duct wall 14 arranged below the support plate 11. The rear side of the main shell 10 includes a main mounting portion 15 arranged below the support plate 11. In the present application, the front side is the air outlet side, and the rear side is the side opposite to the air outlet side.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a partition 16 is provided on the main housing 10 and is located in the upper receiving chamber 13. The partition 16 divides the upper receiving chamber 13 into a front chamber 131 and a rear chamber 132. The front chamber 131 is located directly above the air outlet channel 21 and is connected to the air outlet channel 21.

[0051] Please also refer to Figures 8 to 10The partition 16 includes a partition portion 161 and arms 162 located on both sides of the partition portion 161. The partition portion 161 includes a straight section 1611 and bent sections 1612 located at both ends of the straight section 1611 and protruding forward. The width of the straight section 1611 is greater than the width of the air outlet channel 21. The bent sections 1612 are located on the left and right sides of the air outlet channel 21, thereby ensuring that the air blown out of the air outlet channel 21 is not blocked by the partition 16, thereby improving the air outlet efficiency.

[0052] The arm portion 162 extends rearward from the bent section 1612 to the rear side of the upper receiving chamber 13. The partition 161 and the arm portion 162 each include a horizontal plate portion 1601 and a vertical plate portion 1602. The horizontal plate portion 1601 contacts and is fixed to the support plate 11. Both the horizontal plate portion 1601 of the partition 161 and the horizontal plate portion 1601 of the arm portion 162 are provided with mounting posts 1603, each of which has a screw hole 1604. The horizontal plate portion 1601 of the partition 161 is provided with an insert 1605. The support plate 11 is provided with a socket 111 for the insert 1605 to pass through, and a mounting hole 112 for the mounting post 1603 to pass through.

[0053] In this way, the arm 162 extends backward to strengthen the fixing stability of the partition 16. The combined structure of the horizontal plate 1601 and the vertical plate 1602 cooperates with the installation column 1603 and the insert 1605 to achieve precise positioning and fixation, thereby improving the installation firmness and positioning accuracy of the partition 16 and ensuring the structural stability for long-term use.

[0054] like Figure 7 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, a sealing member 50 is provided on the upper edge of the partition 16. The shape of the sealing member 50 is the same as that of the upper edge of the partition 161. The sealing member 50 includes a rear connecting portion 51, which contacts the partition 16, and a front connecting portion 52, which contacts the speaker 30. The bottom of the rear connecting portion 51 is provided with a slot 511 that accommodates the upper edge of the partition 16. The front side of the front connecting portion 52 is provided with a forward-opening groove 521 to increase the contact area between the speaker 30 and the sealing member 50. When the speaker 30 is raised, its lower portion abuts the front side of the front connecting portion 52.

[0055] The present application sets a seal 50, fixes the seal 50 on the upper edge of the partition 16, and abuts against the lower part of the raised speaker 30, which can effectively fill the gap between the partition 16 and the speaker 30, improve the sealing of the air outlet channel 21, effectively prevent air leakage from the air conditioner, and ensure the air outlet efficiency and effect.

[0056] In one embodiment, the seal 50 is made of rubber, which is convenient for quick replacement and maintenance. At the same time, when the seal 50 abuts the speaker 30, the elasticity of the rubber can achieve an interference fit between the two, thereby increasing the tightness of the contact.

[0057] Please also refer to Figure 11 The air outlet assembly 20 is disposed below the front side of the upper receiving chamber 13. The air outlet assembly 20 includes an air outlet channel 21 disposed within the main housing 10 and a blade assembly 22 disposed within the air outlet channel 21. The annular air duct wall 14 forms the air outlet channel 21, which communicates with the upper receiving chamber 13. The air outlet channel 21 includes an outlet channel 211 located above the blade assembly 22 and a main channel 212 located below the blade assembly 22.

[0058] Please also refer to Figure 5 A channel partition wall 213 is provided in the main channel 212, and the channel partition wall 213 divides the main channel 212 into a second air outlet channel 2121 and a second air outlet channel 2122. Figure 15 As shown, the blade assembly 22 includes a first grille 221 and a second grille 222. The interior trim assembly also includes two micromotors 223 for adjusting the first and second grilles 221, 222, respectively. The two micromotors 223 are assembled on the main mounting portion 15. The first and second grilles 221, 222 optimize the independence and precision of air distribution, effectively increasing the flexibility of airflow adjustment and improving the airflow experience in different areas.

[0059] The speaker 30 is disposed in the upper receiving chamber 13 to shield the air outlet passage 21. The speaker 30 can be raised or lowered to open or close the air outlet passage 21.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, the speaker 30 is rotatably mounted on the main housing 10 via a rotating shaft 313. The rotating shaft 313 is arranged away from the front side (i.e., the air outlet side) of the main housing 10, and the air outlet assembly 20 is arranged on the side of the lower part of the main housing 10 away from the rotating shaft 313. When raised, the speaker 30 rotates clockwise from front to back around the rotating shaft 313, and when lowered, the speaker 30 rotates counterclockwise from back to front around the rotating shaft 313. In this way, the speaker 30 realizes rotational lifting through the rotation of the rotating shaft 313, which can effectively reduce the demand for space and improve space utilization compared to vertical lifting. A pair of downwardly protruding connecting columns 314 are provided on both sides of the lower part of the speaker 30.

[0061] When the outlet channel 211 is closed, the speaker 30 completely covers the opening at the top of the upper receiving chamber 13, and the speaker 30 and the upper surface of the main housing 10 form a smooth curved surface, which effectively improves the aesthetics of the interior component. Figure 16As shown, when the air outlet assembly is working, the speaker 30 and the main housing 10 form an air outlet 210 that is connected to the air outlet channel 21.

[0062] Please also refer to Figure 17 The speaker 30 includes a speaker housing 31, a speaker element 32 arranged in the speaker housing 31, and a speaker mask 33 located above the speaker housing 31; the speaker mask 33 is located in the top opening of the upper receiving cavity 13, and the shape of the speaker mask 33 is the same as the shape of the top opening; the width of the speaker mask 33 gradually decreases from one side close to the air outlet component 20 to the other side.

[0063] Please also refer to Figure 11 The speaker 30 includes an air guide portion 311 formed on a side close to the air outlet assembly 20. The side of the air guide portion 311 away from the air outlet assembly 20 serves as the main body of the speaker. The air guide portion 311 is a curved surface that gradually tilts from bottom to top toward the air outlet assembly 20. The curved surface forms an air guide surface that guides the air in the lower air outlet channel 21 to the air outlet 210. The air guide surface forms the rear side wall of the air outlet channel 21. By designing the air guide portion 311 as a curved surface that gradually tilts from bottom to top toward the air outlet assembly 20, the airflow discharged from the air outlet channel 21 can be effectively guided to the area where the passengers are located, thereby improving the smoothness of the air outlet and the air outlet effect.

[0064] Please also refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 The air guide portion 311 includes a first air guide slot 3111 and a second air guide slot 3112 corresponding to the first grille 221 and the second grille 222, respectively. A protrusion 3113 is provided between the first air guide slot 3111 and the second air guide slot 3112. Two micromotors 223 are located near the rear side of the air guide portion 311 and on either side of the drive motor 41. The two micromotors 223 act on the first grille 221 and the second grille 222, respectively, ensuring air volume while allowing for flexible adjustment on both sides.

[0065] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the speaker 30 is provided with a cavity 312 for accommodating the partition 16. When the speaker 30 is lowered, the partition 16 is located within the cavity 312. When the speaker 30 is raised, the speaker 30 is located above the partition 16, and the lower edge of the air guide 311 coincides with the upper edge of the partition 16. The speaker 30 and the partition 16 together form a closed air guide structure to prevent air leakage from the rear. The speaker 30, the partition 16, and the main housing 10 together form the air outlet 210 of the air outlet channel 21. The air outlet 210 is formed when the speaker 30 is raised and is occupied when the speaker 30 is lowered.

[0066] The side of the air outlet 210 closest to the speaker 30 is a closed air guide structure, while the side of the air outlet 210 farther from the speaker 30, i.e., the air outlet side, is open to the outside world. Furthermore, when the speaker 30 is raised, its lower portion contacts the seal 50, which seals and isolates the air outlet 210 from the rear cavity 132. The seal 50 is positioned between the speaker 30 and the divider 16. Together, the speaker 30, the divider 16, and the seal 50 seal the rear side of the air outlet duct 21, further preventing air from leaking between the speaker 30 and the divider 16. This effectively improves air outlet efficiency and ensures the stability of the air outlet effect.

[0067] Because the blade assembly 22 is located below the support plate 11, the main housing 10 shields the blade assembly 22 from all sides. When the outlet duct 211 is open, the speaker 30 protrudes from all sides beyond the blade assembly 22, completely shielding the blade assembly 22 from above. Therefore, when the speaker 30 is raised and the air outlet assembly 20 is operating, passengers cannot see the blade assembly 22 from any angle, completely concealing the air outlet assembly 22, improving the visual effect and further enhancing the aesthetics.

[0068] Please also refer to Figure 13 The speaker 30 has a cover plate 310 and an air guide portion 311 located below the cover plate 310 and facing the air outlet 210. The cover plate 310 protrudes upward from the main shell 10. A dry and wet separation area 315 is provided between the air guide portion 311 and the cover plate 310 to prevent condensation water from forming on the edge of the cover plate 310.

[0069] Specifically, the dry-wet separation area 315 includes a vertical dividing surface 3151 and a horizontal wind shielding surface 3152 connected to each other; the vertical dividing surface 3151 is bent upward from the wind guide portion 311, and the horizontal wind shielding surface 3152 protrudes from the vertical dividing surface 3151 toward the air outlet 210.

[0070] The edge of the cover plate 310 includes a top surface 3101 and side surfaces 3102 extending downward from the top surface 3101. The side surfaces 3102 are connected to the transverse windshield surface 3152 and extend away from the air outlet 210. The edge of the cover plate 310 is located within the outer contour of the transverse windshield surface 3152, which provides shielding for the edge of the cover plate 310 from below. The lowest point of the transverse windshield surface 3152 is located above the air guide portion 311; the side of the transverse windshield surface 3152 closest to the air outlet 210 is lower than the side farther from the air outlet 210.

[0071] The vertical partition surface 3151 deflects the cover plate 310 upward from the air outlet direction, while the horizontal wind shield surface 3152 further shields the edge of the cover plate 310, preventing cold air from directly contacting the cover plate 310. The dry-wet separation area 315 prevents cold air from directly reaching the cover plate 310, thus preventing condensation from forming on the visible cover plate 310 and improving the user experience.

[0072] like Figure 18 As shown, the drive assembly 40 is assembled on the main mounting portion 15 and is used to drive the speaker 30 to rise and fall to open or close the outlet channel 211. The drive assembly 40 includes a drive motor 41 and a connecting rod assembly 42. Two micromotors 223 are located near the rear side of the air guide portion 311 and on both sides of the drive motor 41.

[0073] like Figures 19 to 22 As shown, the connecting rod assembly 42 is arranged between the driving motor 41 and the speaker 30, including a motor driving rod 421 connected to the driving motor 41, a transmission rod 422 connected to the motor driving rod 421 and rotating synchronously, and a lifting connecting rod 423 arranged between the transmission rod 422 and the speaker 30.

[0074] The motor drive rod 421 includes a main rod 4211 and a connecting rod 4212 arranged near the middle of the main rod 4211 and perpendicular to the main rod 4211. The connecting rod 4212 is connected to the drive motor 41, and the main rod 4211 is parallel to the motor shaft 411. The two ends of the main rod 4211 are respectively connected to a transmission rod 422. By arranging the main rod 4211 and the connecting rod 4212 of the motor drive rod 421 perpendicularly, and connecting the transmission rod 422 at both ends of the main rod 4211, the driving force can be evenly transmitted to the transmission rods 422 on both sides, effectively improving the balance of the transmission, improving the smoothness of the lifting and lowering of the speaker 30, and reducing the shaking during operation.

[0075] The transmission rod 422 includes a rotating portion 4221 connected to the main rod 4211 and a main portion 4222 perpendicular to the main rod 4211. A guide rail 4223 is formed on the side of the main portion 4222. One end of the lifting link 423 slides along the guide rail 4223. The other end of the lifting link 423 is fixedly connected to the connecting post 314. The guide rail 4223 allows the lifting link 423 to slide with only a single degree of freedom, along the guide rail 4223. This effectively suppresses movement in other directions and ensures high repeatability and smoothness of the speaker 30's lifting and lowering movements.

[0076] The drive assembly 40 rotates and raises the speaker 30, controlling the connection and disconnection of the air outlet duct 21 from the outside world. When the speaker 30 is raised or lowered, the drive motor 41 receives a signal from the vehicle's ZCU (Zoned Control Unit) to activate. The motor shaft 411 rotates the motor drive rod 421, which in turn rotates the transmission rod 422. The transmission rod 422 raises and lowers the lift link 423, which in turn drives the speaker 30 upward or downward.

[0077] Compared to other mechanisms such as gears, the connecting rod mechanism is more reliable and stable, ensuring that the speaker 30 can be used normally before and after it is raised, meeting the user's various usage scenarios. The physical connection between the shaft and the connecting rod is also less likely to produce abnormal noise.

[0078] like Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, a clutch assembly 60 is provided on the drive motor 41. The clutch assembly 60 includes a clutch gear 61 fixed to the motor shaft 411, a clutch sleeve 62 sleeved on the motor shaft 411 and meshing with the clutch gear 61, and a spring 63 disposed between the motor shaft 411 and the clutch sleeve 62. The clutch sleeve 62 is connected to the motor drive rod 421.

[0079] Specifically, the clutch gear 61 is fixed to one end of the motor shaft 411, and the clutch sleeve 62 is disposed inside the clutch gear 61.

The motor shaft 411 is provided with a step portion 412, and the ends of the spring 63 abut against the step portion 412 and the sleeve portion 622, respectively.

[0080] When excessive force is applied to speaker 30 (i.e., when the external force is greater than the spring force), clutch gear 61 and clutch sleeve 62 disengage, allowing speaker 30 to move freely to protect connecting rod assembly 42. After disengagement, clutch gear 61 and clutch sleeve 62 are recalibrated through software and return to their original position, restoring normal lifting function.

[0081] By arranging the clutch assembly 60 on the drive motor 41, it can play a buffering and protective role when encountering abnormal situations such as collision with foreign objects, effectively improving safety and reliability and reducing maintenance costs.

[0082] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, according to one embodiment of the present application, a mid-range speaker 70 is further included. The mid-range speaker 70 is integrated on the main housing 10 and is located on the side of the speaker 30 away from the air outlet assembly 20. A mid-range speaker mask 17 is integrally formed on the main housing 10; the upper surface of the mid-range speaker mask 17 is flush with the upper surface of the main housing 10. The speaker 30, the mid-range speaker 70 and the upper surface of the main housing 10 are all located on the same smooth surface, which effectively improves the overall coordination and quality of the interior components and improves the visual and user experience of the driving environment. Among them, the width of the mid-range speaker mask 17 gradually decreases from front to back, and its width change trend is consistent with the width change trend of the speaker mask 33, thereby making the junction between the two smoothly transition.

[0083] In this application, the air outlet assembly 20 and the speaker 30 are both arranged on the main housing 10, and the speaker 30 also serves as the air outlet cover. The hidden air outlet and the lifting speaker are integrated through the main housing 10, which can significantly reduce weight and cost.

[0084] The air outlet assembly 20 is located within the main housing 10 and is completely shielded by the speaker 30 when not in operation. When the air outlet assembly 20 is in operation, only the speaker 30 is raised, and the blade assembly 22 is never exposed, achieving a fully concealed structure. The air outlet 210 does not occupy separate panel space, saving space and maintaining a stylish and simple overall design. The clutch assembly 60 protects the speaker 30 from damage in the event of collision with foreign objects, reducing maintenance costs.

[0085] The present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the interior trim assembly as described above, wherein the interior trim assembly is mounted on a center console of the vehicle, and the top surface of the interior trim assembly is flush with the main surface of the center console to further enhance the aesthetics.

[0086] The interior components and vehicles of the present application realize the integration of the air outlet component 20 and the speaker 30 by arranging the air outlet component 20 and the speaker 30 on the main shell 10 at the same time, which effectively saves space, reduces production costs, and improves space utilization. The speaker 30 can be raised or lowered to open or close the air outlet channel 21, realizing the hiding and opening functions of the air outlet 210, improving the aesthetics of the interior, and enhancing the flexibility and convenience of use. It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.
