[0032] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a concealable defrost grille, which is integrally embedded in the front cover plate 2 of the instrument panel and includes a grille body 1, a grille cover plate 3 is connected to the side of the grille body 1, and the defrost air outlet is opened or closed by rotating the grille body 1. Figure 1 The defrost air outlet is shown in the open state, the grille body 1 is exposed to the outside, and the air flow can be blown out from the defrost air outlet through the holes of the grille to perform the defrosting operation. Figure 2 The defrost vent is shown in a closed state, the grille cover 3 shields the defrost vent, and the grille body 1 is hidden in the defrost vent. The shape of the grille cover 3 matches the defrost vent, and its surface can be flat, which is more convenient to process; this embodiment preferably has a curved surface with a certain curvature, which matches the curvature of the instrument panel front cover 2, making the appearance more harmonious and the hiding effect better.

[0033] See also Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the grille body 1 are clamped at the defrost air outlet of the front cover plate 2 of the instrument panel, and the connecting line of the two ends forms a virtual rotation axis 5. The grille cover plate 3 can rotate around the virtual rotation axis 5 together with the grille body 1, and the defrost air outlet is opened or closed by rotating the grille body 1. The grille body 1 includes a plurality of blades 11, and also includes a grille frame 12. The blades 11 include pivots 111. The blades 11 are pivotally connected to the grille frame 12 through their respective pivots 111 and can rotate around their respective pivots 111. The pivots 111 of the plurality of blades 11 are parallel to each other and are all perpendicular to the virtual rotation axis 5 of the grille body 1. The blades 11 adjust the direction of the grille holes by rotating, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle.

[0034] The grille body 1 is connected to a driving device 4, and the driving device 4 drives the grille body 1 and the blade 11 to rotate. The driving device 4 includes a first motor 41 and a second motor 42, the first motor 41 is connected to the clamping end of the grille body 1, and drives the grille body 1 to rotate, and the second motor 42 is connected to the pivot 111 of the blade 11, and drives the blade 11 to rotate.

[0035] See also Figure 4As shown, the grille body 1 further includes a linkage rod 13, and a linkage shaft 112 is provided on the blade 11. The linkage rod 13 is pivotally connected to the linkage shafts 112 of all the blades 11 and is vertically arranged with the pivot 111. When the pivot 111 rotates under the drive of the second motor 42, the blade 11 rotates around the pivot 111, driving the linkage shaft 112 to move tangentially. The displacement is transmitted to the linkage shafts 112 of other blades 11 through the linkage rod 13, thereby driving all blades 11 to rotate synchronously. In this embodiment, the grille body 1 further includes a partition 14, which divides the air outlet holes of the grille into smaller ones to prevent large foreign objects from entering the defrosting air outlet.

[0036] When using the concealable defrost grille described in the present embodiment, when the front windshield needs to be defrosted, first control the first motor 41 to drive the grille body 1 to rotate, open the defrost air outlet and perform defrosting operation; during this period, the second motor 42 can be controlled to drive the blades 11 of the grille body 1 to rotate, adjust the air outlet angle, and improve the defrosting efficiency; after defrosting is completed, turn off the second motor 42, and control the first motor 41 to drive the grille body 1 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the grille cover 3 covers the defrost air outlet, and the defrost air outlet is closed while hiding the grille body 1 in the defrost air outlet.

[0037] The utility model solves the current situation that the defrost grille structure of the traditional dashboard is leaking and the defrost angle cannot be changed. The grille body and grille cover provided by the utility model can be electrically flipped to hide the defrost grille; the blades of the defrost grille can electrically adjust the defrost angle, which increases the defrost efficiency and convenience of use. On the premise of satisfying the user's use of the defrost function in the car, the demand for the pursuit of simplicity in the shape of the tram dashboard is solved. At the same time, after the grille cover is closed, it can effectively prevent small foreign objects from falling in, and at the same time prevent daily dust from falling into the front defrost air outlet, which is cleaner and more environmentally friendly; because the grille cover covers the defrost grille, it avoids the problem that the multiple blades of the defrost grille and the upper surface of the front defrost cover assembly have a large difference in appearance, thereby avoiding the problem of obvious imaging on the front windshield; further setting the grille cover material and texture consistent with the front defrost cover assembly can greatly reduce the imaging effect of the defrost grille on the front windshield, providing the driver with a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
