DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] According to the first aspect of the present application, there is provided an air outlet device, which is suitable for the middle section of the air outlet duct of the air conditioner. Figures 1 to 21 . The air outlet device of the present application includes a shell 1 and a first air guide assembly 2; wherein, the shell 1 includes at least two second air ducts 102, and the at least two second air ducts 102 are arranged at an angle so that the gases flowing out of the at least two second air ducts 102 converge; the first air guide assembly 2 includes a movable air guide plate 21, and the air guide plate 21 is arranged at the at least two second air ducts 102, and the flow area of ​​the second air duct 102 is adjusted by moving the air guide plate 21 to adjust the air outlet direction. It should be understood that the second air duct 102 is arranged at an angle, and the angle is α, which should satisfy 0°<α<180°, and can usually be set to 30°<α<120°, so that the gases flowing out of at least two second air ducts 102 can converge.

[0050] In addition, the second air duct 102 occupies a certain physical space. For example, the second air duct 102 is a tubular structure with a rectangular or substantially rectangular cross-section, having an air inlet end and an air outlet end. There are two second air ducts 102, and the air outlet ends of the two second air ducts 102 are arranged at an angle. When ventilating, each second air duct 102 will flow out a stream of gas, so that the gases flowing out of the two second air ducts 102 merge, including the gases just merging completely or partially, to adjust the wind direction. For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 The two second air ducts 102 respectively have a first air outlet path A and a second air outlet path B, the first air outlet path A and the second air outlet path B intersect, and the air outlet path is a gas flow path formed by the gas flowing out of the air duct. In other words, the air outlet path is an air outlet flow path extending along the inner wall of the second air duct 102 in the air outlet direction; the two second air ducts 102 have a set length in the direction perpendicular to the YZ plane of the vehicle coordinate system, that is, the two second air ducts have a set length in the X direction of the vehicle coordinate system, the two second air ducts 102 are arranged along the X direction, the projections of the two second air ducts 102 in the Y direction at least partially overlap, and the projections of the two second air ducts 102 in the X direction are inclined to each other (at an angle), Figure 2 In the cross section shown, the two second air ducts 102 are arranged at an angle to each other so that the gases discharged from the two second air ducts 102 merge. Typically, the two second air ducts 102 intersect at the adjacent air duct walls at the air outlet position, and the two second air ducts 102 are arranged along the X direction. The two second air ducts 102 have the same length and are installed at the same position in the X direction. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the gases discharged from the second air ducts 102 are combined, and then the flow direction of the gases after the two second air ducts 102 are combined is adjusted by adjusting the airflow sizes of the two second air ducts 102.

[0051] It can be understood that the air guide plate 21 of the first air guide assembly 2 is set at at least two second air ducts 102, so as to control the air volume flowing in the second air duct 102. The second air duct 102 can be set to multiple, such as 3 or 5. For example, the second air duct 102 is set to 2, and the wall of the second air duct 102 is formed by the shell 1. Due to the angled setting of the second air duct 102, the air volume of the second air duct 102 is adjusted by the air guide plate 21 of the first air guide assembly 2, and the wind direction of the air flow after the intersection of the second air duct 102 is adjusted by the vector superposition principle. The air volume of the two air ducts of the second air duct 102 is adjusted by controlling the action of the first air guide assembly 2. Through the change of the air volume of the two air ducts, the air outlet of the two air ducts is superimposed by vectors, thereby changing the exhaust direction of the air outlet device, and the wind direction can be continuously adjusted at multiple angles, thereby realizing a continuous wind sweeping function in the direction perpendicular to the exhaust gas of the second air duct 102, avoiding the air flow directly blowing on the human body and improving the passenger comfort experience. Therefore, the air outlet device can not only supply air to the next-level air outlet device, but also continuously adjust the wind direction of its exhaust air. In addition, the first air guide assembly 2 includes an air guide plate 21, which is provided at at least two second air ducts 102. The air guide plate 21 can be driven to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the flow area of ​​the second air duct 102, thereby controlling the flow rate of the second air duct 102 to adjust the wind direction. The air guide plate 21 can be set as a straight plate or as an arc-shaped plate with a certain arc structure. The shape of the air inlet of each second air duct 102 is adapted to the shape of the air guide plate 21, so that the air guide plate 21 can move back and forth between the second air ducts 102 to control the flow area of ​​the second air duct 102.

[0052] The air guide plate 21 is configured to reciprocate, and the reciprocating movement is that the air guide plate 21 moves back and forth as a whole to control the flow area of ​​the at least one second air duct 102 . In addition, the housing 1 of the present application can be made of plastic material, and the housing 1 can be provided with an insulating structure. The first air guide component 2 should be arranged in the housing 1 as much as possible, and the first air guide component 2 does not leak out of the housing 1, so that the exterior of the air-conditioning outlet device is more concise and the passengers feel more beautiful. The first air guide component 2 is arranged at the inlet or outlet position of the second air duct 102, and can also be arranged at a position between the inlet and outlet of the second air duct 102. Exemplarily, the first air guide component 2 is arranged at the junction of the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102, that is, the first air guide component 2 is located at the air inlet position of the second air duct 102.

[0053] In some embodiments, the housing further comprises a first air duct, the first air duct being in communication with the at least two second air ducts, the first end of the first air duct being provided with an air inlet, and the second end being provided with an air outlet configured to supply air to the next-level air outlet device. Figures 1 to 3It can be understood that since there are two second air ducts 102, the first air duct 101 is usually provided with air outlets respectively connected to the second air duct 102, and the air outlets are arranged at the connection between the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102. The first air duct 101 supplies air to the next-level air outlet device and the second air duct 102. Therefore, the first air duct 101 is provided with at least one air inlet and at least two air outlets, wherein the air inlet is used to connect with the air conditioning pipeline to guide the air conditioning air in, one air outlet is connected to the air supply pipe of the next-level air outlet device, and is suitable for the middle section of the air duct for supplying air to the next-level air outlet device, and the other air outlet is used to supply air to the second air duct 102.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 , the air guide plate 21 is installed at the air inlet position of the second air duct 102. It can be understood that the air guide plate 21 is installed close to the air inlet of the second air duct 102, and the air guide plate 21 can be driven to move / slide back and forth between the air inlet of the second air duct 102, thereby controlling the air volume in the second air duct 102. In addition, the air guide plate 21 is provided at the air inlet of the second air duct 102, which can facilitate the installation of the air guide plate 21 and the second air duct 102 to a certain extent. The size of the air guide plate 21 should be able to cover at least part of the flow area of ​​the second air duct 102. The air inlet of the second air duct 102 is located at the connection with the first air duct 101. Usually, the second air duct 102 is set at an angle to the first air duct 101, and the setting angle is approximately 90°. Among them, the angle between the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 is the angle between the flow directions of the airflow at the connection between the second air duct and the first air duct. For example, the first air duct 101 is approximately along Figure 12 The second air duct 102 is arranged approximately along the Z direction of the vehicle coordinate system. Figure 19 As shown in .

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 4 The width of the air guide plate 21 is not less than the sum of the widths of the at least two second air ducts 102. It is understood that the air guide plate 21 should have an appropriate width to adjust the flow area of ​​the second air duct 102. The width of the air guide plate 21 is not less than the width of the at least two second air ducts 102 so that when the distance between the air inlets of the two second air ducts 102 is very small, the two second air ducts 102 can be fully covered, thereby better controlling the flow area of ​​the second air duct 102. For example, the flow area of ​​the second air duct 102 can be cut off by the air guide plate 21.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 5 and 6, at least one side of the air deflector 21 is provided with a rack 211, and the rack 211 is configured to be driven by a driving mechanism. It can be understood that the reciprocating movement of the air deflector 21 can be achieved in a variety of ways, such as through a retractable structure to move the air deflector 21 back and forth, or through the rack 211 structure in the embodiment of this specification. Among them, the rack 211 can be set separately from the air deflector 21, or it can be set as an integral part of the air deflector 21 and be provided on one side of the air deflector 21 parallel to its moving direction. In addition, the driving method of the rack 211 can achieve efficient power transmission and maintain the accuracy of the position.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the air deflector 21 and the rack 211 are provided separately, they are connected via a mortise and tenon structure. This form-fitting structure facilitates power transmission and reduces the number of components. It is understood that the air deflector 21 may have a tenon 212 and the rack 211 may have a mortise 213, or the air deflector 21 may have a tenon 212 and a mortise 213, while the rack 211 may have a tenon 212. The tenon 212 and the mortise 213 provide an interference fit, ensuring a secure installation.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mortise and tenon structure includes a tenon 212 and a mortise 213. The mortise 213 is a blind groove structure. The tenon 212 is installed in the mortise 213, and the tenon 212 is fixed to the bottom of the blind groove structure by a connecting piece. The tenon 212 and the mortise 213 are arranged in such a way that the tenon 212 is arranged on the air guide plate 21, and the mortise 213 is arranged on the rack 211; or / and the tenon 212 is arranged on the rack 211, and the mortise 213 is arranged on the air guide plate 21. It can be understood that a blind groove is a groove structure that does not completely penetrate the material thickness or the main body of the part, and is characterized in that at least one end of the groove body is closed and does not penetrate the surface of the workpiece. In addition to the tenon 212 and the mortise 213, the connection between the air guide plate 21 and the rack 211 is also fixed to the bottom of the blind groove structure by a connecting piece, so as to reinforce the installation of the air guide plate 21 and the rack 211.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figures 4 to 6 、 Figure 18, the first air guide assembly 2 also includes a first driving mechanism 22 for driving the movement of the air guide plate 21. It can be understood that the air guide plate 21 is provided with a rack 211, and the air guide plate 21 is driven by the first driving mechanism 22. The first driving mechanism 22 includes a motor and a transmission mechanism that cooperates with the motor. The motor transmits power to the air guide plate through the transmission mechanism so that the air guide plate is moved in a controlled manner. In addition, the transmission structure includes a gear for transmission and a reducer. The gear is installed in conjunction with the rack 211, and the air guide plate 21 is moved by rotating the driving gear. The first driving mechanism 22 is an electric driving mechanism, and can also be other driving structures that can drive the rotating shaft 311 to rotate.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 6 , there are two second air ducts, and the driving member of the first driving mechanism 22 is installed between the two second air ducts 102. It can be understood that the driving member is the gear used by the first driving mechanism 22 to drive the rack 211, and the position is positioned based on the axis of the gear. The driving member is arranged between at least two second air ducts 102, that is, the driving member is arranged in the middle of all second air ducts 102, so that the wind guide plate 21 can cover as many second air ducts 102 as possible without moving the driving member. When there are more than two air ducts, the driving member is installed between at least two second air ducts 102, that is, the driving member is located between the first second air duct 102 and the last second air duct 102.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first air guide assembly 2 further includes guide members 23, which are provided at both ends of the air guide plate 21 and are used to guide the air guide plate 21 so that the air guide plate 21 can move along a set path.

[0062] The guide member 23 includes a guide plate 231, which is mounted on the housing 1. A guide groove 232 is provided between the guide plate 231 and the housing 1, and the air guide plate 21 is guided by the guide groove 232. It can be understood that the guide plate 231 is mounted on the housing 1, and a guide groove 232 is provided between the housing 1 and the guide plate 231. The housing 1 can be a part located in the air outlet device. In addition, there are two types of guide plates 231. The first type needs to be installed in conjunction with the first drive mechanism 22 and has a gear mounting port 234. The gear mounting port 234 is used to accommodate a portion of the gear that drives the rack 211 to move, such as Figure 8 (a); the second is installed away from the first drive mechanism 22, does not have a gear mounting port 234 and an extension portion 236, such as Figure 8As shown in (b), both ends of the air guide plate 21 are installed in the guide grooves 232, and the guide grooves 232 limit the movement path of the air guide plate 21.

[0063] Furthermore, the guide member 23 is snap-fitted to the housing 1, facilitating installation and reducing the number of parts. It is understood that the guide member 23 can be snap-fitted to the housing 1 via a buckle 235, with the buckle 235 provided on the guide member 23 and the latching hole provided on the housing 1, or the buckle 235 provided on the housing 1 and the latching hole provided on the guide member 23. For example, the buckle 235 is provided on the guide member 23, and the latching hole is provided on the housing 1. The guide plate 231 also has an extension 236 on one side near the first drive mechanism 22, which is used to cover the gears of the first drive mechanism 22.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figures 5 to 8 Guide wheels 233 are provided at both ends of the guide plate 231. The guide wheels 233 are configured to move within the guide groove 232 to reduce frictional resistance, allowing the guide plate 231 to move more smoothly within the guide groove 232. In practice, at least two guide wheels 233 are provided on each side of the guide plate 231, typically two guide wheels 233 are provided on each side of the guide plate 231, and movement within the guide groove 232 is achieved via the guide wheels 233. Furthermore, a wheel groove 2321 may be provided within the guide groove 232 for the guide wheels 233 to move.

[0065] Therefore, the air guide plate 21 can be driven by the first driving mechanism 22 to control the cross-sectional area of ​​the second air duct 102, thereby controlling the exhaust direction and flow rate of the air outlet device. Figures 9 to 13 .

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 , further comprising a second air guide assembly 3, which is disposed within the second air duct 102 and is configured to adjust the wind direction and / or air volume of the second air duct 102. It is understood that the second air guide assembly 3 is capable of adjusting the wind direction and / or air volume of the second air duct 102. Typically, the second air guide assembly 3 is configured to adjust the wind direction of the second air duct 102 so that the exhaust device has multiple directions of exhaust, or the second air guide assembly 3 is configured to close the second air duct 102, that is, to control the air volume of the second air duct 102. In addition, the second air guide assembly 3 disposed within the second air duct 102 can serve an aesthetic purpose, preventing passengers from directly seeing the second air guide assembly 3, thereby enhancing the vehicle's sense of luxury.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15The second air guide assembly 3 includes a plurality of air guide blades 31 for adjusting a wind direction different from that adjusted by the first air guide assembly 2. It can be understood that the wind direction of the second air duct 102 is adjusted by the plurality of air guide blades 31. The air guide blades 31 adjust a wind direction different from that adjusted by the first air guide assembly 2. The wind direction adjusted by the first air guide assembly 2 is a swing wind perpendicular to the direction of the gas discharged from the second air duct 102, i.e., a left-right swing wind, while the wind guide blades 31 can adjust a front-back swing wind.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 When the air guide blade 31 is closed, its rotation direction is configured to guide the wind away from the seat seating position. It can be understood that the closing direction of the air guide blade 31 should take into account the positional relationship between the air outlet device and the seat. When the air outlet device is located in front of the person sitting on the seat, its rotation direction is to rotate in front of the person to close. When the air outlet device is located behind the person sitting on the seat, its rotation direction is to rotate behind the person to close. The rotation direction of the air guide blade 31 is the moving direction of the air outlet end of the air guide blade 31 when the air guide blade 31 is closed. For example, Figure 15 As shown, the direction from opening to closing is the movement direction from right to left under the air guide blade 31. This arrangement can avoid the sudden increase in air flow speed during the closing process of the air-conditioning outlet directly blowing on the human body and causing discomfort, thereby improving the cabin experience.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 , including a mounting frame 32, the wind guide blade 31 is set on the mounting frame 32. It can be understood that the wind guide blade 31 can be directly installed in the second air duct 102, but it is not convenient to install. Installing it through the mounting frame 32 can reduce the difficulty of installation and facilitate installation.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The mounting frame 32 includes a first frame 321 and a second frame 322. The ends of the air guide blade 31 are mounted on the first frame 321 and the second frame 322, respectively, to form a modular mounting structure for the first frame 321, the second frame 322, and the air guide blade 31. The first frame 321 and the second frame 322 can be configured as strip-shaped plates, each having corresponding mounting holes for the air guide blade 31. Specifically, the air guide blade 31 has a rotating shaft 311, which is mounted on the mounting holes of the first frame 321 and the second frame 322.

[0071] Wherein, the first frame 321 and / or the second frame 322 are provided with positioning members 34 for assembly with the housing 1. It can be understood that in order to make the mounting frame 32 easy and accurate to install in the second air duct 102, positioning members 34 are provided on the first frame 321 and / or the second frame 322. The positioning members 34 are positioning pins. The positioning members 34 can be provided on the first frame 321 or only on the second frame 322, and the number is at least two. For more accurate installation, the first frame 321 and the second frame 322 are respectively provided with two positioning members 34. The positioning members 34 are used for positioning and are also used to install the first frame 321 and the second frame 322 in the second air duct 102.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The air guide blade 31 is provided with a rotating shaft 311, and the axis of the rotating shaft 311 is arranged at an angle to the intersection line of the gas discharged from the at least two second air ducts 102. The angle formed between the axis of the rotating shaft 311 of the air guide blade 31 and the intersection line of the gas discharged from the second air duct 102 can make the air outlet device have more exhaust wind directions. Usually, the axis of the rotating shaft 311 is arranged at a 90° angle to the intersection line of the gas discharged from the at least two second air ducts 102, and the direction is roughly consistent with the swing direction of the wind direction adjusted by the wind guide plate 21, so that the wind direction adjusted by the second air guide blade 31 is roughly perpendicular to the wind direction adjusted by the wind guide plate 21.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 When the wind guide blades 31 are closed, the ends of the adjacent wind guide blades 31 overlap. It can be understood that the wind guide blades 31 overlap so that the wind guide blades 31 can be closed to the second air duct 102 by controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft 311 of the wind guide blades 31 without the need for other structures. Figure 15 (a) shows the state where the wind guide blade 31 is opened, Figure 15 (b) shows the closed state of the wind guide blades 31. Specifically, the length of the wind guide blades 31 should be determined based on the spacing of the wind guide blades 31 to ensure that they overlap end to end. In addition, when the wind guide blades 31 are closed, the gap between the wind guide blades 31 and the mounting frame 32 can be provided with sidewall windshields to reduce the gap between the wind guide blades 31 and the mounting frame 32 and improve the sealing effect.

[0074] Furthermore, when the air guide blades 31 are closed, the air guide blades 31 at both ends overlap the housing 1, so that the air guide blades 31 at both ends can form a sealed fit with the housing 1. It is understood that the overlapping portions of the air guide blades 31 can be configured as an elastic structure to improve sealing. The elastic structure can be provided with sealing rubber.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The second air guide assembly 3 includes a transmission member 33, to which the air guide blades 31 are connected, for adjusting the rotational direction of the air guide blades 31. It will be appreciated that the multiple air guide blades 31 need to be controlled synchronously, and the air guide blades 31 can be controlled to rotate through the operation of the transmission member 33. Specifically, the transmission member 33 can be configured as a rod-shaped structure having branches connected to the air guide blades 31.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The second air guide assembly 3 further includes a second drive mechanism 35, which is connected to at least one of the air guide blades 31 for controlling the air guide blade 31. It should be noted that, typically, multiple air guide blades 31 are connected via a transmission member 33, which enables the air guide blades 31 to rotate synchronously. Therefore, the second drive mechanism 35 only needs to drive at least one of the air guide blades 31.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 At least two of the second air guide assemblies 3 share a second drive mechanism 35, enabling the second air guide assemblies 3 sharing the second drive mechanism 35 to be synchronously controlled for rotation, while also reducing the number of components. For example, there are two second air guide assemblies 3 sharing a second drive mechanism 35, and at least one air guide blade 31 of each second air guide assembly 3 is connected to a rotating shaft 311 of the second drive mechanism 35, or may be coaxial with the second drive mechanism 35.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 14 , there are two second air ducts 102, and the second drive mechanism 35 is disposed between the two second air ducts 102 to save installation space. It is understood that when there are two second air ducts 102, the first drive mechanism 22 is installed between the two air ducts, so that the two air ducts can conveniently share the first drive mechanism 22.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first wind guide assembly 2 includes a first drive mechanism 22 driven by a motor; and further includes a second wind guide assembly 3, wherein the second wind guide assembly 3 includes a second drive mechanism 35 driven by a motor. Specifically, the second drive mechanism 35 includes a motor and a power transmission mechanism that cooperates with the motor. The motor transmits power to the power transmission mechanism, and the power transmission mechanism transmits power to the wind guide blades 31 via a transmission shaft to control the rotation direction of the wind guide blades 31, thereby controlling the wind direction. Figure 14 The drive shaft can be connected to both sets of wind guide blades 31 at the same time, and the power transmission mechanism includes a reducer and a transmission gear. It can be understood that the first wind guide assembly 2 and the second wind guide assembly 3 are both driven by motors to achieve electric adjustment of multiple wind directions, eliminating manual adjustment. The motors can be servo motors.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 17-18 , the housing 1 includes a plurality of sub-housings 1, at least some of which are connected by buckles 235. The housing 1 can be provided in multiple parts to facilitate the installation of various components therein. Specifically, the housing 1 includes an upper housing 11, two lower housings 12, and an inner housing 13. The upper housing 11, two lower housings 12, and an inner housing 13 are connected as a whole by buckles 235, and two second air ducts 102 are formed between the lower housing 12 and the inner housing 13. Figure 16 As shown in FIG, the upper housing 11 is placed over the two upper housings 11 and connected by cantilever buckles 8. A first air duct 101 is formed between the upper housing 11, the lower housing 12, and the inner housing 13. The bottom surface of the inner housing 13 is also provided with positioning posts 221 for mounting the first drive mechanism 22.

[0081] According to the second aspect of this application, please refer to Figure 16 A duct end air outlet device is provided. The duct end air outlet device includes the aforementioned air outlet device. In the aforementioned air outlet device, the second end of the first air duct 101 is configured as a closed structure. This closed structure can be sealed by a baffle 7, enabling the device to be used at the end of an air conditioning duct. This allows the aforementioned air outlet device to be easily modified to meet various application scenarios. The duct end air outlet device has all the technical effects of the aforementioned air outlet device, except that it cannot supply air to the next-level air outlet device.

[0082] According to the third aspect of the present application, a method for controlling a vehicle air conditioner is provided, which is applied to the aforementioned air outlet device to achieve the technical effects described above. Figure 22The vehicle air conditioning control method includes: controlling the air outlet device to blow air to a first set position for a set time according to a received air conditioning control instruction, so that the first position is cooled down or heated up, so as to reach a comfortable temperature for passengers in advance. The first position is a seat corresponding to the air outlet device, such as the seat closest to the air outlet device. To cool down or heat up the first position, it is usually necessary to cool down the first position in summer and to heat up the first position in winter. As for whether to heat up or cool down the first position, it can be judged by the temperature of the first position and the target temperature. In addition, the blowing time of the first position is stopped after the blowing time, and the blowing time can be determined based on whether the first position reaches the pre-examined target temperature.

[0083] In some embodiments, the air conditioning control command is issued to the vehicle via a remote terminal.

[0084] Among them, the air conditioning control command sent to the vehicle can be sent through a remote terminal so that the vehicle can reach a suitable temperature in advance. For example, it can be sent through a terminal such as a mobile phone app or a remote control key.

[0085] Furthermore, when the vehicle turns on the air conditioning according to a control command, the windows are controlled to lower to a set height and close after the set time. Lowering the windows to the set height facilitates rapid exhaust of the vehicle's interior air after the air conditioning is turned on, reducing the air conditioning load and saving energy. For example, the windows are lowered to one-quarter or one-twentieth of their height. After the set time, when the interior air heat exchange rate is similar, for example, after one or two minutes of ventilation, the windows can be controlled to close based on factors such as weather and temperature.

[0086] In some embodiments, after a passenger gets on the vehicle, the air outlet device closest to the passenger's seat is controlled to move away from the first set position. It is understood that after detecting that a passenger has boarded the vehicle, the air outlet device is controlled to blow air away from the first set position, thereby avoiding direct airflow to the passenger, allowing the passenger to enjoy a better riding experience without having to adjust the air conditioning outlet manually after taking their seat.

[0087] The passenger boarding status is measured by a sensor to determine whether the passenger is seated. It is understood that the vehicle is equipped with a sensor that detects the seat occupied by the passenger. The sensor can transmit the information obtained in real time to the vehicle's central processing unit, which makes decisions and issues signal instructions based on the information obtained. The sensor can obtain real-time information on whether the passenger is seated, and the sensor is typically a pressure sensor.

[0088] In addition, after a passenger takes a seat, the air outlet device closest to the passenger is controlled to enter the sweep mode. It is understood that the sweep mode is generally more comfortable for the passenger after the passenger takes a seat. The central processing unit controls the air outlet device to enter the sweep mode, making the control of the air conditioning system intelligent and humanized.

[0089] In addition, the process also includes waiting for the user to issue a specific adjustment instruction to the air conditioner. It is understood that the specific adjustment instruction is the user's personalized air conditioning control requirement. After the above steps are completed or during the process, the specific user instruction can be received to meet the user's needs.

[0090] According to the fourth aspect of this application, please refer to Figures 19-21 , provides a vehicle air conditioner, including the aforementioned air outlet device, and the aforementioned vehicle air conditioner control method can control the vehicle air conditioner. The vehicle has all the technical features of the above-mentioned air outlet device, and therefore also has all its technical effects. The air outlet device is arranged on the top wall of the vehicle to adjust the temperature inside the vehicle by blowing air from the top of the air conditioner. It can be understood that the air outlet device can be connected to the air conditioner through a pipe 4, connected to the roof from one side of the rear seat at the rear of the vehicle, and at least one pipe is divided from the roof, usually set to two. Each pipe is provided with at least two air outlet devices, one of which is a middle-section air outlet device 5 suitable for the middle section of the air-conditioning outlet duct 4, and the other is suitable for the end-section air outlet device 6 at the end of the air-conditioning outlet duct 4, that is, the end-section air outlet device 6 is installed at the tail end of the air-conditioning outlet duct to constitute at least part of the air outlet system of the air conditioner. The rear and middle rows of the vehicle are equipped with the aforementioned air outlet devices, which can be electrically adjusted in the left and right and front and back directions. That is, the air outlet device can adjust the air direction in the X and Y directions of the vehicle, and can adjust the air blowing direction for the rear passengers 10 and the middle row passengers 9 at the same time. Please refer to Figure 13 Also, see Figure 20 and Figure 21 The air outlet device in this application can be used in the rear row, and can adjust the wind direction in the X and Y directions of the rear row at the same time. In the vehicle air conditioning control method, the air outlet device is controlled to blow air to a preset position, which is the position of the rear passenger 10.

[0091] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0092] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0093] The embodiments, implementation methods and related technical features of the present application can be combined and replaced with each other without conflict.

[0094] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and do not constitute any form of limitation to the present application. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
