[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, the adjustable air outlet clip shown in this embodiment includes a shell 1 and a first elastic clamping arm 2 and a second elastic clamping arm 3 slidably arranged at the rear end of the shell 1. A first elastic member 4 for driving the first elastic clamping arm 2 and the second elastic clamping arm 3 to move in opposite directions is provided between the first elastic clamping arm 2 and the second elastic clamping arm 3, that is, the first elastic member 4 can simultaneously apply a thrust (i.e., elastic force) in opposite directions to the two elastic clamping arms, and two first elastic locking assemblies and a second elastic locking assemblies symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the two elastic clamping arms are provided in the shell 1. The first elastic locking assembly and the second elastic locking assembly are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the two elastic clamping arms; after the first elastic clamping arm 2 and the second elastic clamping arm 3 approach and abut against each other, they are clamped between the first elastic locking assembly and The first elastic member 4 is compressed between the second elastic locking components at the same time, that is, the two elastic clamping arms are clamped and locked by the two elastic locking components, so that the two elastic clamping arms cannot move away from each other and open, so that the air outlet clip can be clamped on the fan blades of the oil truck air outlet; the shell 1 is also provided with a pressing component for driving the first elastic locking component and the second elastic locking component to move in opposite directions to unlock the two elastic clamping arms. One end of the pressing component extends out of the shell 1, which is convenient for pressing inward to unlock.

[0032] In the above, different from the traditional tail end open type clip structure, on the basis of the open type structure, the first elastic member can apply elastic force to the two elastic clamping arms in the unlocked state to change the distance between the two elastic clamping arms, that is, to make the two elastic clamping arms move away from each other, and when the two elastic clamping arms are in a close abutting closed state, the two elastic locking components cooperate to clamp the two elastic clamping arms to form a locking structure to limit the movement of the two elastic clamping arms in opposite directions, so that the two elastic clamping arms remain in a closed state, and at this time, the two elastic clamping arms can be used to clamp in the fan blades of the conventional oil truck tuyere; and When it is necessary to clamp the hidden air vent, the two elastic locking assemblies are moved away from each other by pressing the assembly to unlock the two elastic clamping arms. After unlocking, the two elastic clamping arms move away from each other under the action of the first elastic member, so that the two are in an open state, thereby expanding the clamping range of the two elastic clamping arms, so that the outer sides of the two elastic clamping arms can be clamped on the inner side wall of the hidden air vent, that is, it can also be inserted and clamped in the hidden air vent, thereby expanding the application range of the clip; and when the two elastic clamping arms need to be brought close to each other, the two elastic clamping arms are pressed to bring them close to each other and finally engage and lock with the two elastic locking assemblies.

[0033] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 to Figure 4As shown, the shell 1 includes a front cover 10 and a rear cover 11, and a cavity 12 for accommodating a first elastic locking assembly, a second elastic locking assembly and a pressing assembly is formed between the front cover 10 and the rear cover 11, and a first elastic clamping arm 2 and a second elastic clamping arm 3 are slidably arranged on the rear cover 11.
