[0075] Several convex blocks 10 are arranged on the upper wall surface of the assembly space 2.2 along the left and right moving path of the second pin body 8;

[0076] When the second pin body 8 moves left and right with the sliding frame 3.2 until its head contacts the convex block 10, the second pin body 8 moves downward, and the second spring 9 is pre-tightened to increase the moving resistance of the sliding frame 3.2.

[0077] The second spring 9 drives the head of the second pin body 8 to expose from the upper opening of the blind hole and abut tightly against the upper wall surface of the assembly space 2.2,

[0078] When operating the sliding frame 3.2 to move left and right, so that the fork 3.21 drives the vertical blade 7 to swing left and right, when the second pin body 8 moves with the sliding frame 3.2 to contact the convex block 10, the second pin body 8 moves downward. Under the elastic action, the acting force drives the moving resistance of the sliding frame 3.2 to increase. When the user perceives that the moving resistance is large, he can know the position of the sliding frame 3.2 and the corresponding left and right swing positions of the vertical blade 7 (i.e., the left and right air outlet angles);

[0079] After the moving resistance increases, the operating component 3 can be stably restricted at this position. When there is no operation, the position of the operating component 3 is stable, so that the position of the vertical blade 7 is stably maintained in the corresponding left and right air outlet directions;

[0080] At this time, when the user swings the horizontal blade 2 up and down through the operating component 3, the vertical blade 7 will not swing left and right (that is, the left and right air outlet angles will not change);

[0081] If the first pin 4.1 on the horizontal blade 2 cooperates with the positioning groove, at this time, the position of the horizontal blade 2 is stable. The user can swing the vertical blade 7 left and right through the operating component 3 to adjust the left and right air outlet angles. During the adjustment process, that is, the up and down air outlet angles will not change;

[0082] After the above improvement, when adjusting the air outlet angle in a single direction (either up and down or left and right), the air outlet angle in the other single direction (either up and down or left and right) will not change, that is, the angle adjustments do not affect each other, and the operation of the device is reliable and the user experience is good.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 1-10 As shown, at least one bump 10 corresponds to the extreme position where the sliding frame 3.2 moves to the left, and at least one bump 10 corresponds to the extreme position where the sliding frame 3.2 moves to the right.

[0084] The above two extreme positions correspond to the extreme positions of the left and right direction movement of the operating component 3, that is, the extreme angles of the left and right swing of the vertical blade 7 (the extreme angles of the left and right air outlet directions);

[0085] Multiple bumps 10 can also be arranged between the above two bumps 10, and each bump 10 can correspond to the corresponding angle of the left and right swing of the vertical blade 7 (that is, the left and right air outlet angles);

[0086] After a certain bump 10 cooperates with the second pin 8, the user can know the left and right air outlet angles at this time.

[0087] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
