Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of intake grilles, and particularly relates to a visible active intake grille. Background Art

[0002] With the increasingly serious energy crisis and emission pollution, people's requirements for the reliability, economy and emission performance of automobiles are getting higher and higher. The active intake grille can actively and effectively control the size of the front-end intake air flow according to different driving environments and working conditions of the automobile, ensure that the engine works reliably at an appropriate temperature, and thus improve and enhance fuel economy, safety and reduce emissions.

[0003] At present, the traditional intake grille is generally in the form of a fixed visible grille outer plate, which is arranged at the front end of the automobile. The overall components are relatively simple. The fixed intake grille cannot adjust the intake air volume according to the changes of the driving environment and working conditions of the automobile, and cannot realize the active intake function. Although the built-in active intake grille can actively and effectively control the intake air volume according to different driving environments and working conditions of the automobile, its appearance is not visible, there are many parts, and it is usually arranged behind the traditional fixed visible grille outer plate, which requires a large space. The product structure cannot be hidden in either the open or closed state, which has a certain impact on the aesthetics of the automobile. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model provides a visible active intake grille, which retains the original effective control of the intake air volume and realizes the hiding of the structure when the blades are fully opened. It is not only beautiful, but also can maximize the intake air volume and improve the heat dissipation performance of the vehicle.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The visible active intake grille includes an outer frame and a blade assembly arranged in the outer frame. Driving mechanisms and link assemblies connected to the driving mechanisms are arranged on both sides of the outside of the outer frame. Both ends of the blade assembly pass through the outer frame and are connected to the link assemblies. When the driving mechanisms work, they drive the link assemblies to act, and drive the blade assembly to open or close.

[0007] Preferably, the blade assembly includes an inner blade plate and an outer blade plate connected to the outside of the inner blade plate. The inner blade plate is arranged on the outer frame through both ends of a driving rod.

[0008] Preferably, the link assembly includes a first link and a second link arranged on one side of the first link. The cross section of the first link is T-shaped. The driving mechanism and the second link are respectively arranged on both sides of the first link. The upper and lower ends of the second link are clamped on the side surface of the outer frame through clamping columns.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the first connecting rod is in the shape of a rack, and the driving mechanism meshes with the bottom of the first connecting rod through a gear. The driving mechanism is arranged at the proximal end of the first connecting rod.

[0010] Preferably, an activity groove is formed in the side wall of the outer frame. The driving rod passes through the activity groove and is connected to the lower end of the first connecting rod. The upper end of the first connecting rod is placed on the side of the outer frame through a clamping column, and the lower end of the first connecting rod is connected to the outside of the second connecting rod.

[0011] Preferably, the inner side of the second connecting rod is placed in the activity groove through a clamping column.

[0012] Preferably, the activity groove is in the shape of an arc-shaped branch, and the arc length of the activity groove is the same as the arc displacement required for the blade to be in the open state.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are embodied in that: in the present utility model, the active intake grille blades are hidden in the fully open state, which improves the aesthetics of the vehicle. At the same time, the hiding of all the blades also enables the vehicle to achieve the maximum intake air volume, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation of the vehicle.

[0018] The present utility model provides an externally visible active intake grille. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following will further describe the present utility model in detail with reference to the Figures 1 - 3 drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0019] The externally visible active intake grille includes an outer frame 1 and a blade assembly disposed within the outer frame. The blade assembly includes an inner blade plate 12 disposed on the inner side and a blade outer plate 11 connected to the outside of the inner blade plate 12. The inner blade plate 12 is mounted on the outer frame at both ends through a driving rod 111.

[0020] Arc-shaped grooves are formed on the side walls on both sides of the outer frame. A connecting rod assembly is clamped in the arc-shaped grooves. One side of the connecting rod assembly is connected to a driving mechanism. The driving rod 111 is connected to the connecting rod assembly. When the driving mechanism operates, it drives the connecting rod assembly to drive the blade assembly to move along the direction of the arc-shaped groove, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the blades relative to the outer frame 1. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism is a motor 2.

[0021] The arc-shaped groove is in the shape of an arc-shaped branch, including a first main arc-shaped groove 14 and a second sub-arc-shaped groove 141.

[0022] The connecting rod assembly includes a first connecting rod 3 and a second connecting rod 4 disposed on one side of the first connecting rod 3. The cross-section of the first connecting rod 3 is in the shape of a T. The second connecting rod 4 and the motor 2 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first connecting rod 3. One end of the second connecting rod 4 is clamped in the arc-shaped groove through a clamping post, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the outer frame through a clamping post. The upper end of the first connecting rod 3 is placed on the side wall of the outer frame through a clamping post. The proximal bottom of the lower end of the first connecting rod 3 is connected to the motor 2, and the distal end of the lower end is connected to the outside of the second connecting rod 4. The driving rod 111 passes through the arc-shaped groove and is connected to the first connecting rod 3.

[0023] The bottom of the first connecting rod 3 is in the shape of a rack. A gear 21 is connected to the motor shaft of the motor 2, and it meshes with the bottom of the first connecting rod 3 through the gear 21, forming a gear-rack structure. When the motor 2 operates, it drives the gear 21 to rotate, thereby causing the first connecting rod 3 to move. At this time, the first connecting rod will simultaneously drive the second connecting rod and the driving rod 111 to move along the arc-shaped groove 14, thereby realizing the retraction or flipping out of the blade assembly towards the inside of the outer frame to achieve opening or closing. Considering aesthetics, an end cover 13 is provided outside the connecting rod assembly to cover and hide the connecting rod assembly.

[0024] The intake grille of the present utility model can not only exhibit the state of a fixed externally visible intake grille through a simple and reliable structure, that is, the blade assembly can be fully displayed when the blades are in the closed state, but also realize the function of an active intake grille, that is, it can actively and effectively control the intake air volume according to different driving environments and working conditions of the vehicle. In the state where the blades are fully opened, the blades can be completely hidden within the outer frame, improving the aesthetics of the vehicle and also achieving the maximum intake air volume, thereby better improving and enhancing fuel economy, safety and reducing emissions.
