DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] In this solution, the application of the air outlet regulating device in the automobile and the specific contents of the air outlet regulating device are described in detail.

[0027] A manual-automatic integrated air outlet adjustment device comprises: a shell 1, in which a first channel 2 and a second channel 3 are constructed, the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 form two air outlets isolated from each other at the same end of the shell 1, and intersect at the other end of the shell 1 to form an air inlet; an adjustment unit 4, which is arranged on the shell 1, and the adjustment unit 4 has a first actuator 5 and a second actuator 6 arranged on the outside of the shell 1; a toggle switch 7, which is arranged on one side of the shell 1, the toggle switch 7 is electrically connected to the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6, and the switch of the first channel 2 and / or the second channel 3 is controlled by the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6, and the wind direction of the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 is controlled; a control panel 8, which is arranged on the side of the shell 1, the control panel 8 is electrically connected to the first actuator 5, the second actuator 6 and the toggle switch 7, and the control panel 8 integrates a voice adjustment module and a touch adjustment module, the voice adjustment module is used to receive voice designation and control the action of the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6, and the touch adjustment module is used to receive touch signals and control the action of the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, an exemplary structure of this solution is as follows: Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the air outlet on the shell 1 is facing the car body, and is used to guide the wind blown out by the car air conditioner into the car body. The first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6 are preferably motors, and the adjustment unit 4 is used to convert the actions of the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6 into switches of the first channel 2 and / or the second channel 3, as well as control of the wind direction of the first channel 2 and the second channel 3. When in use, the driver and passengers can control the actions of the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6 by toggling the switch 7, or by pressing the control panel 8 to control the actions of the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6. Of course, the actions of the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6 can also be controlled by voice input.

[0029] In this solution, by operating the toggle switch 7 and the control panel 8, three selection modes are provided for adjusting the wind direction, the first channel 2 and the second channel 3. This not only enhances the intelligent technical content of the air outlet, but also ensures the satisfaction of comfort and personalized needs, thereby enhancing the luxurious atmosphere in the car and the overall experience of the user, aiming to stimulate consumers' purchasing interest.

[0030] The adjustment unit 4 includes a damper adjustment component 9 and an air outlet adjustment component 10, wherein the damper adjustment component 9 is connected to the first actuator 5 for controlling the switch of the air inlet and the opening of the first channel 2 and / or the second channel 3, and the air outlet adjustment component 10 is connected to the second actuator 6 for controlling the air outlet direction of the air outlet.

[0031] Specifically, the damper adjustment mechanism includes a first damper plate 11, a second damper plate 12, a main gear 17 and a driven gear 18 arranged in the shell 1. The first damper plate 11 and the second damper plate 12 are both rotatably arranged in the shell 1 and movably abutted. The main gear 17 and the driven gear 18 are rotatably arranged outside the shell 1 and mesh with each other. The main gear 17 is connected to the output end of the first actuator 5 and is connected to the second damper plate 12. A pushing portion 19 is arranged on the main gear 17, and a pushing groove 20 movably abutted against the pushing portion 19 is arranged on the first damper plate 11.

[0032] by Figure 4 The state shown is taken as the state, at this time, the second air damper plate 11 makes way for the air inlet, and the first air damper plate 11 is blocked at the connection between the second channel 3 and the air inlet, resulting in the first channel 2 being unobstructed and the second channel 3 being closed. Therefore, the airflow flowing in from the air inlet can only be discharged through the first channel 2; if the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 need to be opened at the same time (such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the first actuator 5 drives the main gear 17 to rotate, thereby guiding the second damper plate 12 to rotate along the Figure 4 As shown, rotate counterclockwise to the middle position between the first channel 2 and the second channel 3. At this time, both the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are in an open state. When only the second channel 3 needs to be opened and the first channel 2 is closed (such as Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the first actuator 5 will actuate the main gear 17 to rotate, so that the second damper plate 12 moves to the gap between the first channel 2 and the air inlet, effectively blocking the first channel 2; when the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 must be closed, the first actuator 5 will continue to drive the second damper plate 12 to rotate until the second damper plate 12 forces the first damper plate 11 to close the air inlet, at which time the push rod on the main gear 17 is partially embedded in the push groove of the first damper plate 11. Subsequently, when the first actuator 5 causes the main gear 17 to reverse, the synergistic effect of the push groove and the push rod causes the first damper plate 11 to rotate in the opposite direction together with the second damper plate 12, thereby reopening the air inlet.

[0033] The air outlet adjustment assembly 10 includes: a driving rod 14, a connecting sleeve 15, a connecting rod 16 and a plurality of blades 13. The driving rod 14 is connected to the second actuator 6. The connecting sleeve 15 is sleeved on the outer side of the driving rod 14 and is threadedly connected to the driving rod 14. One end of the connecting rod 16 is connected to the connecting sleeve 15. The plurality of blades 13 are rotatably arranged at the air outlet of the housing 1, and the same side of the plurality of blades 13 are connected to the connecting rod 16. Figure 8 As shown, when the second actuator 6 drives the driving rod 14 to rotate, the connecting sleeve 15 moves along the axial direction of the driving rod 14. When the connecting sleeve 15 moves, it pushes the multiple blades 13 to rotate through the connecting rod 16, thereby adjusting the wind direction of the air outlet.

[0034] The toggle switch 7 of the present embodiment has up and down, left and right, and press adjustment states, wherein the up and down adjustment state is used to control the damper adjustment component 9 through the first actuator 5, the left and right adjustment state is used to control the movement of the air outlet adjustment component 10 through the second actuator 6, and the press adjustment state is used to control the opening and closing of the toggle switch 7.

[0035] When the toggle switch 7 is operated, it will trigger the internal mechanism to release an electrical signal to the first actuator 5 and / or the second actuator 6. The first actuator 5 is responsible for regulating the rotation of the first damper plate 11 and / or the second damper plate 12 inside the housing 1 to change the direction of the airflow. On the other hand, the second actuator 6 is used to drive the blade 13 to rotate to achieve the function modes of upward, downward, left, right, sweeping, closing, etc., aiming to imitate the mechanical control experience of the traditional manual adjustment of the air outlet. The motor continues to run after receiving the command signal, and once the signal stops sending, the motor stops working immediately.

[0036] The toggle switch 7 , the voice adjustment module and the touch adjustment module can interrupt each other, so that the first actuator 5 and the second actuator 6 execute the latter's instructions, so as to realize the senseless switching between the two control modes of the control panel 8 and the toggle switch 7 .

[0037] Preferably, the present solution further includes a connecting shell 21, which is sleeved on the outside of the shell 1 and connected to the air inlet. The connecting shell 21 has a transition channel 23 connected to the air inlet and two air inlet channels 22 connected to the air-conditioning outlet.

[0038] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0039] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", "one", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
