Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle-mounted electronic actuators, and more specifically, particularly relates to an automobile air-conditioning air outlet actuator. Background Art
[0002] At present, most automotive air-conditioning outlet actuators directly borrow the damper actuator;
[0003] It adopts stepper motor output and four-stage gear reduction.
[0004] The Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN220053448U discloses an electronic actuator for automobile air-conditioning outlets, including: an assembly compartment; also including: a DC brushless motor, arranged in a storage chamber, an output shaft is provided at the output end of the DC brushless motor, and an output gear is sleeved on the output shaft; a three-stage reduction gear set is arranged in the storage chamber and meshes with the output gear. The utility model changes the stepper motor into a DC brushless motor without changing the overall size of the actuator, and reduces a gear of one stage, changing it into a three-stage gear transmission, thereby effectively reducing the output speed and torque of the motor, making the actuator run more smoothly and with less noise; thereby avoiding the problem of relatively fast output speed and large noise and vibration when using a traditional stepper motor; at the same time, avoiding the situation where the output torque far exceeds the torque required to rotate the air outlet fan blades by using the original four-stage gear reduction, thereby avoiding the situation where there is a very obvious impact sound when switching, and even damaging the fan blades.
[0005] Although the above patent reduces torque and improves commutation stability and safety, the DC brushless actuators used for automobile air-conditioning outlets on the market all adopt a design scheme of gear and shaft clearance assembly. This type of actuator will cause the rotor to collide with the shaft on which it is assembled due to unbalanced rotor rotation. After long-term use, obvious knocking noises will be generated as the grease evaporates. In the above patent, the output shaft is connected to the rotor assembly and adopts a split design, which has poor transmission stability. Utility Model Content
