Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories, and in particular to an air outlet assembly and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the popularity of vehicles, people pay more and more attention to the user experience of vehicles. At present, many accessories are configured inside the vehicle to provide users with more auxiliary functions to improve the user experience. However, due to the limited space inside the car, the layout space of accessories is relatively tight. Therefore, in the limited space layout inside the car, the reasonable setting of the position of the accessories inside the car is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide an air outlet assembly and a vehicle, which can integrate accessories inside the vehicle with the air outlet, thereby reducing the space occupied by the accessories inside the vehicle.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides an air outlet assembly, including a shell and a functional component. The shell has a cavity and a first opening, and the first opening connects the cavity and the external environment of the shell. The functional component includes a bracket and a light source, at least part of the bracket is located in the cavity and connected to the shell, the bracket is located in the middle area of the first opening, and separates the first opening into a first air outlet and a second air outlet, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are respectively located on opposite sides of the bracket, and the light source is connected to the bracket and is used to emit light through the first opening.
[0005] In this embodiment, the air outlet assembly is provided with two air outlets, namely the first air outlet and the second air outlet. The first air outlet and the second air outlet are located at different positions, so the directions of the airflows blown out from the first air outlet and the second air outlet are different. Dividing the air outlet into two sub-air outlets can make the cold air or hot air blown out by the air conditioner cover a wider area, so as to be evenly distributed to various areas in the car, thereby making the temperature distribution in the car more balanced.
[0006] At present, as the functions on the roof of the vehicle are increasing, auxiliary accessories such as handles, switch buttons, reading lights, speakers and air vents are generally arranged. The layout of various devices is relatively concentrated. As users have higher and higher requirements for the vehicle's use experience, the volume of structures such as reading lights and air vents on the vehicle has become larger to provide users with better lighting effects and air circulation effects in the car. However, due to the limited space inside the vehicle, the layout space for auxiliary accessories in the car is relatively tight.
[0007] The present application integrates the light source between the first air outlet and the second air outlet to reduce the space occupied by the light source alone. Integrating the light source with the air outlet can effectively save space inside the vehicle and make the interior space layout more compact and reasonable. Especially in vehicles with small space, the installation space inside the vehicle can be fully utilized without sacrificing comfort.
[0008] The light source can be a reading light to provide lighting for users. The light source can also be made into different shapes according to customer needs to meet personalized needs and improve the user experience.
[0009] The light source can also have an ambient light effect. The light source can have different colors of light, and different positions of the light source can have different brightness to reflect different patterns. The light source can also have multiple light change modes to achieve different ambient light effects and create different atmospheres in the car.
[0010] The light source can also have a warning light effect. In an emergency, the light source can flash continuously or have a breathing light effect to warn the driver to pay attention to safety.
[0011] In addition, the light source can also display information. By controlling the brightness and light-emitting area of the light source, it is possible to display text, patterns and other information, such as vehicle speed or navigation instructions.
[0012] In a possible embodiment, the shell also has an air inlet, which connects the cavity and the external environment of the shell. The air outlet assembly also includes a spacer, which is located in the cavity and divides the cavity into a first air duct and a second air duct. The first air duct is connected to the first air outlet and the air inlet, and the second air duct is connected to the second air outlet and the air inlet.
[0013] In this embodiment, after the spacer divides the internal space of the shell into two sub-air ducts, the air outlet of each sub-air duct can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet the temperature or humidity requirements of different areas in the vehicle.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the functional component further includes a touch switch, which is connected to the bracket and spaced apart from the light source, the touch switch is electrically connected to the light source, and the touch switch is used to control turning the light source on or off.
[0015] In this embodiment, the air outlet assembly also integrates a touch switch of the light source. Touching the touch switch can control the light source to turn on or off.
[0016] In a possible embodiment, the bracket includes a first frame and a first protective shell, the first frame has a connected receiving space and a second opening, the second opening faces the first opening, the first protective shell cover is arranged on the first frame and covers the second opening, the light source and the touch switch are located in the receiving space, and the light source is used to emit light through the second opening.
[0017] In a possible implementation, the light source includes a circuit board and a light-emitting body. The circuit board is located in the receiving space. The light-emitting body is also located in the receiving space and connected to a surface of the circuit board facing the second opening.
[0018] In this embodiment, the light source may be provided with a circuit board, which may be directly electrically connected to the light emitter and play a role in supporting the light emitter.
[0019] In addition, the printed circuit board adopts printed circuit technology, which makes the connection between the circuit pattern and the light source more solid, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the light source. The manufacture of the circuit board can be achieved through an automated production line, thereby improving production efficiency and manufacturing accuracy, helping to reduce the production cost of the light source and improve the product quality of the light source.
[0020] In a possible implementation, the functional component further includes a light guide, which is located between the circuit board and the second opening, and the orthographic projection of the light guide onto the circuit board covers the light emitter.
[0021] In this embodiment, the light guide can absorb the light emitted from the light source and diffuse the light inside the light guide so that the light guide emits light uniformly. In addition, the light guide can convert a point light source into a surface light source, thereby improving the efficiency of light use and reducing the power consumption of light emission, thereby improving the overall lighting effect and saving energy.
[0022] In a possible embodiment, the bracket also includes a second frame, the second frame is located in the receiving space, one side of the second frame is connected to the light guide, and the other side of the second frame is connected to the circuit board. The second frame is provided with a light-transmitting hole, and the light guide covers the light-transmitting hole. The light emitted by the light-emitting body can be transmitted to the light guide through the light-transmitting hole.
[0023] In this embodiment, the second frame can provide an installation position for the light guide. The light guide is spaced apart from the light source. It is known that if the distance between the light guide and the light source is too close, the light will not diffuse enough before entering the light guide, and the divergence angle will be too small, making the display effect of the light guide uneven. On the contrary, if the distance between the light guide and the light source is too far, the light of the light source will diffuse too violently, resulting in serious light loss, and the amount of light entering the light guide will be reduced, which will also affect the lighting effect.
[0024] The second frame can keep a reasonable distance between the light guide and the light source, so as to improve the lighting effect of the functional components, improve the uniformity of the lighting light, and ensure that the lighting effect reaches the best state.
[0025] In a possible implementation manner, the first protective shell is provided with a first light-transmitting area, and the first light-transmitting area is arranged opposite to the light guide member.
[0026] In this embodiment, the first protective shell can cover the bracket, and the light source and switch in the bracket. The first protective shell can effectively prevent external factors from damaging the light source and the switch, and prevent external dust, water vapor or other impurities from corroding the light source or the switch, thereby extending the service life of the light source and the switch. The first protective shell can also fix the light guide, light source, switch and other structures inside the bracket to prevent the light guide, light source or switch from leaking out of the first opening of the bracket. The first protective shell can also optimize the appearance of the functional component, simplify the appearance of the functional component, and enhance the visual effect of the functional component.
[0027] In a possible implementation, the bracket further includes a second protective shell, the second protective shell is sleeved on the outside of the first protective shell, the second protective shell is provided with a second light-transmitting area, and the second light-transmitting area is arranged opposite to the first light-transmitting area.
[0028] In this embodiment, the second protective shell is arranged on the outer periphery of the first protective shell, further increasing the overall structural strength of the functional component, increasing the stability and impact resistance of the functional component, so that the functional component can maintain good integrity when receiving external force impact, reducing the risk of damage to the functional module, and ensuring the normal operation of the device. The second protective shell can also provide a touch surface for the switch.
[0029] In a possible implementation, the second frame is further provided with a first accommodating hole, the first accommodating hole penetrates the second frame along the thickness direction of the second frame, and the first accommodating hole is spaced apart from the light-transmitting hole. The first protective shell is provided with a switch through hole, the switch through hole penetrates the first protective shell along the thickness direction of the first protective shell, the switch through hole is spaced apart from the first light-transmitting area, and the switch through hole is connected to the first opening and the first accommodating hole. The second protective shell is provided with a touch area, the touch area is spaced apart from the second light-transmitting area, and the touch switch passes through the first accommodating hole, the first opening and the switch through hole, and is arranged opposite to the touch area.
[0030] In a possible embodiment, the air outlet assembly also includes a wind shield, which is located in the cavity and is rotatably connected to the side of the spacer facing the air inlet. The wind shield can swing relative to the spacer to adjust the air intake volume flowing into the first air duct and the second air duct.
[0031] In this embodiment, the ratio of the air volume blown out from the first air outlet or the second air outlet can be adjusted by the wind shield. In actual use, it may be necessary to cool or heat only a specific area in the vehicle. By adjusting the air volume of the first air outlet and the second air outlet, more air volume can be concentrated in the required area, reducing energy waste and improving energy efficiency.
[0032] In a possible implementation, the functional component is further provided with a touch panel, at least part of which is embedded in the second frame and the first protective shell, the touch panel is spaced apart from the switch and the light source, and is arranged opposite to the touch area of the second protective shell. The air outlet assembly is further provided with a first grille structure and a second grille structure, the first grille structure is installed in the first air duct, and the second grille structure is installed in the second air duct.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first grid plate 4131 is located in the first air duct 401, and the second grid plate 4132 is located in the second air duct 402. The swing rod 4141 and the transmission rod 4142 of the linkage part 414 can be located in the installation space 4124 of the spacer 412. The rotating shaft 4133 is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the rotating shaft installation groove 4125 of the spacer 412. The rotating shaft 4133 extends along the X direction.

The swing rod 4141 drives the rotating shaft 4133 to rotate, thereby driving the grid plates (the first grid plate 4131 and the second grid plate 4132) to rotate. After the grid plates rotate, the angle of the grid plates relative to the first opening 410 changes, thereby changing the direction of the airflow blown out from the air outlet after passing through the grid plates, so that the airflow blows to the position required by the user.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 7 , the windshield 415 is connected to the side of the spacer 412 facing the air inlet 400. The windshield 415 is rotatably connected to the shell 411 through a shaft. The shaft can extend along a first direction. The windshield 415 can rotate relative to the spacer 412 with the shaft as the center axis. The first direction is the Z direction in the figure. The windshield 415 can rotate toward the first air duct 401 to block part of the first air duct 401, thereby reducing the air volume flowing to the first air duct 401 and increasing the air volume flowing to the second air duct 402. Alternatively, the windshield 415 can rotate toward the second air duct 402 to block part of the second air duct 402, thereby reducing the air volume flowing to the second air duct 402 and increasing the air volume flowing to the first air duct 401.
[0087] In this embodiment, the ratio of the air volume blown out from the first air duct 401 or the second air duct 402 can be adjusted by the wind shield 415. In actual use, only a specific area in the vehicle may need to be cooled or heated. By adjusting the air volume of the first air duct 401 and the second air duct 402, more air volume can be concentrated in the required area, reducing energy waste and improving energy efficiency.

[0122] In this embodiment, the second frame 423 can provide a mounting position for the light guide 424. The light guide 424 is spaced apart from the light source 426 described below. It can be known that if the distance between the light guide 424 and the light source 426 is too close, the light will not diffuse enough before entering the light guide 424, and the divergence angle will be too small, so that the display effect of the light guide 424 is uneven. On the contrary, if the distance between the light guide 424 and the light source 426 is too far, the light of the light source 426 will diffuse too violently, resulting in serious light loss, and the amount of light entering the light guide 424 will be reduced, which will also affect the lighting effect.
[0123] The second frame 423 can maintain a reasonable distance between the light guide 424 and the light source 426 to improve the lighting effect of the functional component 42, improve the uniformity of the lighting light, and ensure that the lighting effect reaches the best state.

[0146] The second protective shell 429 is sleeved on the outer side of the first protective shell 428. The projection of the touch area 4293 to the first protective shell 428 covers the switch through hole 4283 and the touch pad accommodating hole 4303. That is, the touch area 4293 is arranged opposite to the switch through hole 4283 and the touch pad accommodating hole 4303 in the Z direction. The projection of the second light-transmitting area 4294 to the first protective shell 428 covers the first light-transmitting area 4285. That is, the second light-transmitting area 4294 is arranged opposite to the first light-transmitting area 4285 in the Z direction.
[0147] In this embodiment, the second protective shell 429 is disposed on the outer periphery of the first protective shell 428, further increasing the overall structural strength of the functional component 42, increasing the stability and impact resistance of the functional component 42, so that the functional component 42 can maintain good integrity when subjected to external force impact, reducing the risk of damage to the functional module, and ensuring the normal operation of the device. The second protective shell 429 can also provide a touch surface for the touch switch 427.
[0148] Please refer to Fig. 9, the touch switch 427 is connected to the bracket 420 and is spaced apart from the light source 426. The touch switch 427 is electrically connected to the light source 426. The touch switch 427 is used to control the light source 426 to be turned on or off. The touch switch 427 has a touch surface 4271. The touch switch 427 is connected to the first frame 422. At least part of the touch switch 427 is located in the first accommodating cavity 4306 of the second sub-portion 4232. The touch switch 427 passes through the first accommodating hole 4308 and is protruded relative to the second opening 4226 of the first frame 422. The side of the touch switch 427 provided with the touch surface 4271 can be located in the switch through hole 4283 of the first protective shell 428, and the touch surface 4271 can be flush with the outer surface of the second top plate 4282 of the first protective shell 428.
[0149] Exemplarily, the touch switch 427 can also be an on / off switch for the air conditioner 20. In a possible usage scenario, the user touches the touch area of the second protective shell 429 corresponding to the touch switch 427 for the first time to turn on the air conditioner 20, and the user touches the touch switch 427 again to turn off the air conditioner 20.
[0150] The air outlet assembly 40 also includes a touch panel 44. Part of the touch panel 44 is located in the second accommodating cavity 4307 of the second frame 423, and the touch panel 44 passes through the second accommodating hole 4309 of the second frame 423, the second opening 4226 of the first frame 422, and the touch panel accommodating hole 4303 of the first protective shell 428. The surface of the touch panel 44 facing the first opening 410 is a touch surface 441. The touch surface 441 of the touch panel 44 can be flush with the outer surface of the first top plate 4221 of the first protective shell 428. The touch panel 44 and the touch area 4293 of the second protective shell 429 are arranged opposite to each other in the Z direction.
[0151] The user can slide in the touch area 4293 of the second protective shell 429 corresponding to the touch pad 44, so that the motor can drive the first grid plate 4131 and the second grid plate 4132 to rotate through the transmission rod 4142, thereby adjusting the wind direction of the first air outlet 417 and the second air outlet 418. Specifically, the user can slide in the touch area 4293 of the touch pad 44 corresponding to the second protective shell 429 along the Y direction. When the finger slides in the Y direction, the first grid plate 4131 and the second grid plate 4132 can swing in the Y direction relative to the spacer 412. When the finger slides in the opposite direction of the Y direction, the first grid plate 4131 and the second grid plate 4132 can swing in the opposite direction of the Y direction relative to the spacer 412, thereby adjusting the wind direction of the first air duct 401 and the second air duct 402.
[0152] In some other embodiments, the touch panel 44 may also have a display function. For example, the touch panel 44 may display information such as temperature or wind speed for reference by the driver and passengers in the vehicle, so as to timely understand the environment outside and inside the vehicle.
[0153] It should be noted that the above-mentioned use scenarios of the touch panel 44 are only schematic. The touch panel 44 can also control the grid structure 413 in any common form. The present application does not specifically limit the use of the touch panel 44. The touch panel 44 can also control the volume of the speaker of the vehicle 100, or the increase or decrease of the temperature of the air conditioner 20, etc.
[0154] In this embodiment, the air outlet assembly 40 is provided with two air outlets, namely, a first air outlet 417 and a second air outlet 418. The first air outlet 417 and the second air outlet 418 are located at different positions, so the directions of the airflows blown out from the first air outlet 417 and the second air outlet 418 can be different. Dividing the first opening 410 into two sub-first openings 410 can make the cold air or hot air blown out by the air conditioner 20 cover a wider area, so as to be evenly distributed to various areas in the vehicle, thereby making the temperature distribution in the vehicle more balanced.
[0155] At present, as the functions on the roof of the vehicle are increasing, auxiliary accessories such as handles, switch buttons, reading lights, speakers and air vents are generally arranged. The layout of various devices is relatively concentrated. As users have higher and higher requirements for the vehicle's use experience, the volume of structures such as reading lights and air vents on the vehicle has become larger to provide users with better lighting effects and air circulation effects in the car. However, due to the limited space inside the vehicle, the layout space for auxiliary accessories in the car is relatively tight.
[0156] The present application integrates the light source 426 between the first air outlet 417 and the second air outlet 418 to reduce the space occupied by the light source 426 alone, which can effectively save the space inside the vehicle 100 and make the interior space layout more compact and reasonable. Especially in a vehicle 100 with a small space, the installation space inside the vehicle can be fully utilized without sacrificing comfort.
[0157] The above are exemplary embodiments of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present application.
