[0054] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0055] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the air-conditioning outlet assembly provided by the utility model is now described. The air-conditioning outlet assembly includes an air outlet housing 1, an air valve 2, a linkage assembly and a pull rod 5. The air outlet housing 1 is used to be assembled on a mounting base 6, and the mounting base 6 has an exterior opening 61; a ventilation duct 10 is formed inside the air outlet housing 1, and the ventilation duct 10 is arranged opposite to the exterior opening 61; the air valve 2 is rotatably arranged in the ventilation duct 10; the linkage assembly is located outside the air outlet housing 1, and the output end is connected to the rotating shaft of the air valve 2; one end of the pull rod 5 is connected to the input end of the linkage assembly, and the other end extends to the downstream of the air outlet of the air outlet housing 1 and passes through the mounting base 6; wherein, when the pull rod 5 is pushed and pulled, the pull rod 5 drives the air valve 2 to flip through the linkage assembly to adjust the flip angle of the air valve 2.

[0056] The mounting base 6 is a vehicle body component, generally a vehicle body sheet metal part for mounting the air outlet of the air conditioner, such as a sub-instrument panel or an armrest box. The outer decoration opening 61 of the mounting base 6 has a flange folded toward the inside of the mounting base 6, and the air outlet end of the air outlet housing 1 is assembled to the outer decoration opening 61. The air outlet housing 1 is entirely hidden inside the mounting base 6, and the air outlet housing 1 is penetrated along the axial direction (i.e., the air outlet direction) to form a ventilation duct 10.

[0057] The air valve 2 is rotatably arranged in the ventilation duct 10, and the swing angle of the air valve 2 relative to the ventilation duct 10 can be adjusted by flipping the air valve 2. If the plane perpendicular to the ventilation duct 10 and the air outlet wind direction is defined as the reference plane, the air valve 2 can be swung to be parallel to the reference plane, and can also be swung to form any angle with the reference plane. When the air valve 2 is parallel to the reference plane, the air valve 2 completely blocks the ventilation duct 10, and the air conditioning output air cannot be output into the vehicle. When there is an angle between the air valve 2 and the reference plane, the air conditioning output air can be output into the vehicle through the air outlet space between the air valve 2 and the air outlet housing 1. By adjusting the swing angle of the air valve 2, the output air volume can be adjusted.

[0058] The air valve 2 is driven to flip by the linkage assembly and the pull rod 5. Specifically, one end of the pull rod 5 is connected to the linkage assembly, and the other end extends to the downstream of the air outlet housing 1 and passes through the mounting base 6. The pull rod 5 is manually pushed and pulled. When the pull rod 5 is manually pushed and pulled, the linkage assembly is driven to rotate, and the linkage assembly drives the air valve 2 to flip.

[0059] The linkage assembly is used to transform the linear push-pull trajectory of the pull rod 5 into the flipping trajectory of the air valve 2. The linkage assembly can be a gear rack 331 meshing structure, or a combination of a linear moving structure and a swinging structure of the connecting rod 42. This embodiment does not limit the specific form of the linkage assembly, as long as it can transform the linear push-pull trajectory of the pull rod 5 into the flipping trajectory of the air valve 2.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the air-conditioning air outlet assembly provided by the utility model is provided with a linkage component and a pull rod 5 on the outside of the air outlet shell 1. The pull rod 5 is connected to the air valve 2 through the linkage component. The linkage component is used to convert the linear push-pull trajectory of the pull rod 5 into a flipping trajectory of the air valve 2. When the pull rod 5 is pushed and pulled, the pull rod 5 drives the air valve 2 to flip through the linkage component to adjust the flipping angle of the air valve 2, thereby adjusting the output air volume. Compared with the prior art, the utility model realizes air volume adjustment by manually pushing and pulling the pull rod 5, which is convenient for manual operation and improves the control texture. In addition, the operation mode of the linkage component is simple and the overall structure is simplified.

[0061] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly may be configured as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure shown, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The linkage assembly includes a linear push-pull structure 3 and a connecting rod structure 4. The linear push-pull structure 3 is connected to a pull rod 5 and can be driven by the pull rod 5 to move along a preset linear path; one end of the connecting rod structure 4 is hinged to the linear push-pull structure 3, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft of the air valve 2.

[0062] The linear push-pull structure 3 can generate a linear motion trajectory, and the connecting rod structure 4 can generate a swinging trajectory. The linear push-pull structure 3 moves linearly under the drive of the pull rod 5 and drives the connecting rod structure 4 to swing. The swing of the connecting rod structure 4 drives the air valve 2 to flip.

[0063] In this embodiment, a linkage assembly is formed by combining a linear push-pull structure 3 and a connecting rod structure 4. The linear push-pull structure 3 runs stably and can stay at a preset position, thereby ensuring that the flipping state of the air valve 2 is stable and the flipping position of the air valve 2 is accurate.

[0064] In some embodiments, the linear push-pull structure 3 can be used as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure shown, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The linear push-pull structure 3 includes a fixed base 31, a damping gear 32 and a sliding block 33. The fixed base 31 is formed on the outer wall of the air outlet housing 1 and has a sliding cavity 311; the damping gear 32 is arranged on the fixed base 31 and is located in the sliding cavity 311; the sliding block 33 is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity 311; the sliding block 33 has a rack 331, and the rack 331 is meshed with the damping gear 32; wherein the pull rod 5 is connected to the sliding block 33.

[0065] The fixed base 31 can be regarded as a part of the air outlet housing 1. The fixed base 31 is used to provide a support carrier for fixing the damping gear 32 and assembling the sliding block 33. The surface of the fixed base 31 is provided with a mounting opening that matches the shape of the damping gear 32. The damping gear 32 is assembled to the mounting opening and extends into the sliding cavity 311.

[0066] The sliding block 33 slides along a preset straight line direction and is placed in the sliding cavity 311. The sliding block 33 is driven to slide by the manual push-pull rod 5. During the sliding process, the rack 331 is meshed with the damping gear 32, and the damping gear 32 provides sliding resistance to enhance the manual push-pull operation feeling.

[0067] The fixed base 31 wraps the damping gear 32 to shield the damping gear 32 and prevent the meshing portion between the damping gear 32 and the rack 331 from being exposed, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the meshing.

[0068] In some embodiments, the linear push-pull structure 3 can also be used as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure shown, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sliding block 33 has at least two positioning portions 332, and the at least two positioning portions 332 are spaced apart along the sliding direction of the sliding block 33; an elastic stopper 34 is also provided on the fixed base 31, and the elastic stopper 34 has elastic freedom to move away from / close to the sliding block 33; wherein, when the sliding block 33 moves, the elastic stopper 34 can be elastically engaged with any positioning portion 332 to limit the moving position of the sliding block 33.

[0069] Relative to the sliding of the sliding block 33, the damping gear 32 and the elastic stopper 34 are both in a non-sliding state, the damping gear 32 can rotate around its central axis, and the elastic stopper 34 can elastically extend and elastically retract in the direction away from / close to the sliding block 33. Preferably, the direction of the above-mentioned elastic extension and elastic retraction is perpendicular to the sliding direction.

[0070] When the sliding block 33 slides to any one of the positioning portions 332 and elastically engages with the elastic stopper 34 under manual pushing and pulling, the elastic stopper 34 and the positioning portion 332 form a limit in the direction of elastic extension and elastic retraction. Due to the engaging action, the operator is prompted to move the sliding block 33 to a specified position; when force is applied to the sliding block 33 again, the elastic engaging between the elastic stopper 34 and the positioning portion 332 is destroyed, so that the sliding block 33 continues to slide until the next positioning portion 332 is elastically engaged with the elastic stopper 34.

[0071] Preferably, the elastic snap connection adopts the cooperation mode of a card block and a card slot, for example, a card block is provided on the elastic stopper 34 and a card slot is provided on the positioning portion 332, or a card slot is provided on the elastic stopper 34 and a card block is provided on the positioning portion 332.

[0072] Specifically, the air valve 2 is driven by the connecting rod 42 assembly, the linear push-pull structure 3 and the pull rod 5. The pull rod 5 is manually pushed and pulled to drive the sliding block 33 to move, the sliding block 33 drives the connecting rod 42 assembly to swing, and the connecting rod 42 assembly drives the air valve 2 to flip.

[0073] In the process of manually pushing and pulling the pull rod 5, the rack 331 meshes with the damping gear 32, and the damping gear 32 provides sliding resistance to enhance the manual push-pull operation feeling. When the sliding block 33 slides to any one of the positioning parts 332 and elastically engages with the elastic stopper 34 during manual pushing and pulling, the elastic stopper 34 and the positioning part 332 form a limit in the direction of elastic extension and elastic retraction. Due to the existence of the engaging action, the operator will be prompted to move the sliding block 33 to a certain specified position; when force is applied to the sliding block 33 again, the elastic engagement between the elastic stopper 34 and the positioning part 332 will be destroyed, so that the sliding block 33 continues to slide until the next positioning part 332 is elastically engaged with the elastic stopper 34.

[0074] It should be noted that the sliding block 33 has two extreme positions: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 For reference, if the positive direction of the sliding direction toward the mounting base 6 is defined, the side positioning portion 332 located in the positive direction of the sliding direction is the first positioning portion 332, and the side positioning portion 332 located in the negative direction of the sliding direction is the second positioning portion 332. When the elastic stopper 34 is elastically engaged with the first positioning portion 332, the sliding block 33 is in the first limit position, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the first limit position, the air valve 2 swings to be perpendicular to the reference plane, at which time the opening angle of the air valve 2 is the largest and the air volume output is the largest. When the elastic stopper 34 is elastically engaged with the second positioning portion 332, the sliding block 33 is in the second limit position. In the second limit position, the air valve 2 swings to be parallel to the reference plane, the air valve 2 blocks the air duct, and no air volume is output.

[0075] Since the sliding block 33 is provided with at least two positioning portions 332, when the sliding block 33 moves to one of the positioning portions 332 and abuts against the elastic stopper 34, the elastic stopper 34 can engage with the positioning portion 332 to form a limit in the sliding direction, thereby positioning the moving position of the sliding block 33 to ensure the accuracy of the flipping position of the air valve 2 and the stability of the air valve 2.

[0076] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 On the basis of the above embodiment, the fixed base 31 is provided with a slide groove 312, and the sliding block 33 is provided with a guide block 333; the guide block 333 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 312; wherein, the length of the slide groove 312 is equal to the spacing distance between the two positioning parts 332 located on the side.

[0077] The slide groove 312 is in the shape of a long strip, and its extension direction is the preset straight path direction of the sliding block 33. The groove width of the slide groove 312 is adapted to the width of the guide block 333, and the guide block 333 slides with the slide groove 312 to guide the sliding block 33 to slide along the preset path, ensuring that the rack 331 and the damping gear 32 are normally meshed.

[0078] The length of the slide groove 312 also limits the moving distance of the sliding block 33 . In other words, the length of the slide groove 312 is the maximum moving length of the sliding block 33 . Since the length of the slide groove 312 is equal to the spacing distance between the first positioning portion 332 and the second positioning portion 332, when the sliding block 33 slides to the first positioning portion 332, the elastic stopper 34 elastically abuts against the first positioning portion 332, and the guide block 333 abuts against one of the groove side walls (the groove side wall in the length direction) of the slide groove 312. When the sliding block 33 slides to the second positioning portion 332, the elastic stopper 34 elastically abuts against the second positioning portion 332, and the guide block 333 abuts against the other groove side wall (the groove side wall in the length direction) of the slide groove 312. The elastic stopper 34 is elastically engaged with the positioning portion 332, and the guide block 333 abuts against the groove side wall of the slide groove 312. Through double limiting, it is ensured that the state of the sliding block 33 is stable when it moves to the extreme position, and it is prevented that the rack 331 and the damping gear 32 are separated due to excessive external force.

[0079] Since the guide block 333 is located in the slide groove 312 and the sliding block 33 is located in the sliding cavity 311, when assembling the sliding block 33 and the mounting base 6, in order to facilitate the guide block 333 to extend into the slide groove 312, the guide block 333 is designed as a triangular block, one side of which is an inclined surface. Due to the inclination of the inclined surface, it is easy to slide the guide block 333 into the slide groove 312 during assembly.

[0080] In addition to guiding the sliding block 33 to slide linearly, the guide block 333 also has the function of abutting against the groove wall of the slide groove 312 at the limit position to further limit the sliding block 33. Since one side of the guide block 333 is an inclined surface, there will be a problem of unstable abutment due to the small abutment area at one of the limit positions. In order to avoid the above problem, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4On the basis of the above embodiment, a stop block 334 is provided on the sliding block 33, and the mounting base 6 has a stop surface 313; when the elastic stop member 34 is elastically engaged with the first positioning portion 332, the guide block 333 abuts against the side wall of the slide groove 312 in the length direction; when the elastic stop member 34 is elastically engaged with the second positioning portion 332, the stop block 334 abuts against the stop surface 313.

[0081] Specifically, the sliding block 33 partially extends out of the sliding cavity 311 , the stop block 334 is located outside the sliding cavity 311 , and the stop surface 313 is a portion of the outer surface of the mounting base 6 .

[0082] by Figure 3 For reference, when the elastic stopper 34 is elastically engaged with the first positioning portion 332, the negative plane of the guide block 333 abuts against the negative groove side wall of the slide groove 312. At this time, the slide block 33 is in the first limit position. Figure 3 As shown, the stop block 334 is disengaged from the stop surface 313. When the elastic stopper 34 is elastically engaged with the second positioning portion 332, a small portion of the inclined surface of the guide block 333 abuts against the positive groove side wall of the slide groove 312, and the stop block 334 abuts against the stop surface 313, and the sliding block 33 is at the second extreme position.

[0083] By adding the stop block 334 and the stop surface 313, the problem of unstable contact caused by the small contact area between the inclined surface of the guide block 333 and the groove side wall of the slide groove 312 can be avoided, thereby increasing the stability of the sliding block 33 in the second extreme position.

[0084] In some embodiments, the positioning portion 332 and the elastic stopper 34 may be formed as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure shown, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The positioning portion 332 is a positioning groove arranged on the outer wall of the sliding block 33; the elastic protruding end of the elastic stopper 34 is locked and limited in the positioning groove.

[0085] When the elastic stopper 34 is elastically engaged with the positioning groove, the elastic stopper 34 elastically extends out. When the elastic stopper 34 is separated from the positioning groove, the elastic stopper 34 is squeezed by the outer surface of the sliding block 33 and elastically retracted.

[0086] The positioning portion 332 is designed as a positioning groove, which makes its structure simple and easy to manufacture. In addition, after the elastic stopper 34 is separated from the positioning groove, the elastic stopper 34 elastically retracts to store energy, so that it can store a large elastic potential energy, so that after the sliding block 33 moves to the positioning groove and connects with the elastic stopper 34, the elastic stopper 34 can quickly extend and elastically abut against the positioning groove.

[0087] See also Figure 5On the basis of the above embodiment, the elastic stopper 34 includes a base 341, an abutting block 342 and an elastic body 343. The base 341 has a receiving cavity; the abutting block 342 is partially located in the receiving cavity; one end of the abutting block 342 is an elastic extension end, and the outer surface of the elastic extension end is an outer convex curved surface; the abutting block 342 has a limiting cavity; the elastic body 343 is partially located in the limiting cavity, one end of which abuts against the cavity bottom wall of the limiting cavity, and partially located in the receiving cavity, and the other end abuts against the cavity bottom wall of the receiving cavity.

[0088] Preferably, the groove wall of the positioning groove is a concave curved surface, and the elastic extension end of the elastic stopper 34 is a convex curved surface. The design of the concave curved surface and the convex curved surface can ensure that the positioning groove moves smoothly to abut or separate from the extension end of the elastic stopper 34.

[0089] The base 341 is fixed on the mounting base 6, and the base 341 serves to place the elastic body 343 and the abutment block 342. The elastic body 343 is partially located in the limiting cavity and partially located in the accommodating cavity, so that the elastic body 343 is completely wrapped and can be radially limited by the limiting cavity to ensure that the elastic body 343 can only be elastically extended or elastically retracted along its axial direction, thereby increasing the stability of the elastic stopper 34 during elastic movement.

[0090] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 42 assembly may be configured as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure shown, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting rod structure 4 includes a rotating disk 41 and a connecting rod 42. The rotating disk 41 is connected to the rotating shaft of the air valve 2; one end of the connecting rod 42 is hinged to the outer peripheral edge of the rotating disk 41, and the other end is hinged to the linear push-pull structure 3.

[0091] The rotating shaft of the air valve 2 extends out of the air outlet housing 1, and the rotating disk 41 is sleeved on the extending portion of the rotating shaft. The rotating disk 41 has a first extending end extending radially outward, and the first extending end is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 42. The connecting rod 42 swings to drive the rotating disk 41 to rotate, thereby driving the air valve 2 to flip.

[0092] The connecting rod 42 and the rotating disk 41 are combined to form the connecting rod structure 4, which simplifies the overall structure of the connecting rod structure 4 and extends the layout space of the linkage.

[0093] In some embodiments, the pull rod 5 may be Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure shown, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A fixing sleeve 51 is provided on the outer wall of the air outlet housing 1 , the pull rod 5 passes through the fixing sleeve 51 , and a limiting rubber sleeve 52 is embedded between the pull rod 5 and the fixing sleeve 51 .

[0094] The fixing sleeve 51 is used to guide the push and pull of the pull rod 5 to prevent the pull rod 5 from deflecting and shaking without external force. The limiting rubber sleeve 52 is sleeved between the pull rod 5 and the fixing sleeve 51. On the one hand, the limiting rubber sleeve 52 can provide damping force to improve the manual push and pull operation feeling, and on the other hand, it can also form a radial limit to ensure that the pull rod 5 can only be pushed and pulled along the axial direction.

[0095] In some embodiments, the air outlet housing 1 may be Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The structure shown, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The air outlet housing 1 includes a first housing 11, a second housing 12 and an air guide spherical housing 14. The first housing 11 is located inside the mounting base 6; the second housing 12 is located on the air inlet side of the first housing 11 and docked with the first housing 11; the second housing 12 and the first housing 11 form a spherical mounting cavity 13, and the mounting cavity 13 is arranged opposite to the exterior opening 61 along the air outlet direction; the air guide spherical housing 14 is located in the mounting cavity 13 and forms a ball joint connection with the mounting cavity 13; wherein the air valve 2 is rotatably arranged in the second housing 12 and is located upstream of the air guide spherical housing 14.

[0096] The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are both connected in the axial direction (i.e., the air outlet direction). Since the second shell 12 is located on the inner side of the first shell 11, in other words, the first shell 11 is closer to the outer surface of the mounting base 6, the first shell 11 only needs to have a hemispherical inner cavity, and the second shell 12 must also have a hemispherical inner cavity to form a mounting cavity 13 with the first shell 11. In addition, the second shell 12 must also have an air supply duct for air supply.

[0097] The air outlet end of the second shell 12 is butted against the air inlet end of the first shell 11 , and the two are detachably connected, specifically, they can be at least one of plug-in, snap-on, and screw-on.

[0098] The wind guide spherical shell 14 is also axially penetrated, and the outer wall surface of the wind guide spherical shell 14 is a spherical surface, and the air inlet and air outlet are both flat surfaces to meet the requirements of air inlet and air outlet. A blade group is also arranged inside the wind guide spherical shell 14. Since the wind guide spherical shell 14 and the installation cavity 13 are spherically hinged, the wind guide spherical shell 14 can be rotated manually to adjust the air outlet direction to meet the requirements of adjusting the air outlet angle.

[0099] The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 form a spherical installation cavity 13, which can be ball-hinged with the wind guide ball shell 14 to allow the wind guide ball shell 14 to rotate to adjust the air outlet direction; the wind guide ball shell 14 is simply limited in the installation cavity 13 without any other fixed relationship, which simplifies the overall structure of the air outlet of the air conditioner, and after the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are docked, they are connected to the installation base 6 to complete the assembly, which simplifies the assembly method.

[0100] In some embodiments, the installation cavity 13 and the air guide ball shell 14 may also be provided with Figure 6 and Figure 8 The structure shown, see Figure 6 and Figure 8 A felt structure is extruded between the inner wall of the installation cavity 13 and the outer wall of the wind guide ball shell 14 .

[0101] The felt structure is used to form a seal to prevent part of the air from leaking out from the contact area between the air guide spherical shell 14 and the installation cavity 13; the felt structure also has an interference fit with the air guide spherical shell 14 to increase the contact friction with the air guide spherical shell 14. On the one hand, it makes the ball hinge performance of the air guide spherical shell 14 more stable. On the other hand, it can also improve the rotating operating texture when the air guide spherical shell 14 is rotated.

[0102] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 On the basis of the above embodiment, the felt structure includes a first felt 15 and a second felt 16. The first felt 15 is attached to the inner wall of the first shell 11; the second felt 16 is attached to the inner wall of the second shell 12.

[0103] Since the installation cavity 13 is hemispherical, the first felt 15 and the second felt 16 are separately arranged, so that the first felt 15 and the second felt 16 can be easily adhered to the inner wall of the installation cavity 13 respectively, simplifying the assembly operation.

[0104] In some embodiments, the air outlet housing 1 may also be Figure 7 The structure shown, see Figure 7 A fixing collar 17 is sleeved on the outside of the air outlet housing 1 . Specifically, the fixing collar 17 is sleeved on the periphery of the second housing 12 and connected to the first housing 11 .

[0105] The fixing collar 17 can be connected to other parts of the vehicle body. A plurality of claws are provided on the fixing collar 17, and the fixing collar 17 can be hooked on other parts of the vehicle body through the claws.

[0106] The first housing 11 is connected to the fixing collar 17 by at least one of screw connection, clamp connection and plug connection. The fixing collar 17 can be used to improve the fixing stability of the first housing 11.

[0107] In some implementations, the air conditioning outlet assembly may also be configured as follows: Figure 2 The structure shown, see Figure 2 A sensor 7 is provided on the outer wall of the air outlet housing 1 , and the output end of the linkage component can also contact the control end of the sensor 7 .

[0108] Specifically, the rotary disk 41 is provided with a second extension end extending radially outward, and the second extension end is used to contact the control end of the sensor 7. The control end of the sensor 7 is arranged at the trigger position of the sensor 7, and is used to trigger the sensor 7 so that the sensor 7 sends an outlet opening adjustment signal.

[0109] The air valve 2 is manually turned over by pushing and pulling the pull rod 5. During the turning process of the air valve 2, the opening of the air valve 2 can be increased or decreased accordingly. At the same time, the second extension end rotates with the turntable 41. During the rotation process, the second extension end triggers the sensor 7 so that the sensor 7 sends an outlet opening adjustment signal. It can be understood that different rotation degrees of the second extension end have different triggering degrees for the sensor 7, and accordingly, the outlet opening adjustment signal sent by the sensor 7 is also different.

[0110] Exemplarily, a pressing piece may be provided on the sensor 7. The second extension end presses the pressing piece to different degrees, so that the sensor 7 sends different air outlet opening adjustment signals.

[0111] The embodiment of the present application takes into account that during the operation of the air-conditioning, the passengers may manually adjust the air outlet opening. In order to avoid affecting the air volume of other air outlets and causing the air volume of other air outlets to be too large or too small, the embodiment of the present application adjusts the total air volume of the air-conditioning accordingly according to the air outlet opening adjustment signal, and redistributes the air volume of each air outlet to achieve intelligent control of the air-conditioning and enhance user experience and comfort.

[0112] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet assembly.

[0113] The vehicle provided by the utility model adopts the above-mentioned air-conditioning outlet assembly, and the air volume can be adjusted by manually pushing and pulling the pull rod 5, which has a simple operation method and improves the control quality and comfort.

[0114] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
