Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and more specifically to an improved automobile air outlet. Background Art
[0002] The air outlet of automobile air conditioner is one of the essential parts of automobile. At present, the air outlet of automobile air conditioner in the market can use actuator or dial button to control the rotation of blade group to adjust the wind direction.
[0003] The dial button of the above structure generally moves left and right to adjust the left and right blade groups to swing left and right to adjust the left and right wind directions. Due to the complex use environment of the car and the lack of a suitable limit structure for the dial button, factors such as vibration cause the dial button to easily change position, and then the left and right wind directions change, resulting in poor operating reliability and poor user experience;
[0004] In addition, the dial button is mostly located outside the blade, and a complex transmission mechanism is required to drive the blade group to rotate, which is structurally complex, costly, and has poor reliability. Utility Model Content

At this time, the acting force causes the moving resistance of the operating component to increase. When the user perceives a large moving resistance, they can know the position where the operating component moves and the corresponding left and right swing positions of the vertical blades (i.e., the left and right air outlet angles);
[0018] And after the moving resistance increases, the operating component can be stably restricted at this position. When there is no one operating, the position is stable, and the vertical blades are stably maintained at the corresponding left and right air outlet directions.
