Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air conditioning, in particular to an air outlet that can be installed in or removed from a vehicle. Moreover, the whole process is manual loading and unloading without using any tools. Background Art

[0002] In Figure 4 , an instrument panel 82 configures an interior space 81 of the vehicle 80. The instrument panel 82 is provided with an air outlet 83.

[0003] As Figure 5 shown, the air outlet 83 is at one end of a guiding device 85. An air conditioning system (not shown) is connected to the other end of the guiding device 85. After the air conditioning system is started, the air outlet 83 introduces a low-temperature gas into the interior space 81 to adjust the internal temperature of the vehicle 80.

[0004] Among them, multiple shafts 88 are connected to the guiding device 85 and are rotatable. Multiple vanes 87 are respectively integrated with each of the shafts 88. A coupling relationship (not shown) enables each of the shafts 88 to have a chain reaction to support each of the vanes 87 to maintain a parallel state. An operating part 89 is arranged on one of the shafts 88, and the operating part 89 drives each of the shafts 88 to rotate relative to the guiding device 85, controlling each of the vanes 87 to tilt to an angle to change the direction of the low-temperature gas flowing out of the air outlet 83.

[0005] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, based on the functional design of the vehicle 80, the orientation and specifications of the reserved hole 84 in the instrument panel 82 are planned before leaving the factory and are not easily changed. In terms of assembly, one of the reserved holes 84 catches a clamping structure 86 of the guiding device 85. The clamping structure 86 is similar to a groove with a U-shaped cross-section, and the groove receives the wall of the instrument panel 82 that encloses the reserved hole 84. The wall is hidden in the clamping structure 86, and the reserved hole 84 cannot be found from the outside.

[0006] During disassembly, even an experienced technician cannot manually separate the clamping structure 86 from the reserved hole 84 to remove the guiding device 85. Therefore, it becomes an indispensable means to pry open the clamping structure 86 from the reserved hole 84 with a hand tool like a screwdriver.

[0007] However, prying is a destructive disassembly method, and the wall of the instrument panel 82 that encloses the reserved hole 84 cannot be restored to its original state, which has a profound impact on the replacement of the guiding device 85.

[0008] Regarding the problem that the deflector 85 can be easily inserted into the reserved hole 84 of the instrument panel 82 but not easily removed from the reserved hole 84, and to overcome the drawback of the prior art that the wall of the reserved hole 84 needs to be damaged and cannot be restored, the present utility model provides a vehicle air outlet that can be manually assembled and disassembled without tools. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The main object of the present utility model is to provide a vehicle air outlet that can be manually assembled and disassembled without tools. According to the magnetic attraction principle, it uses permanent magnets with opposite polarities attracting each other, or one of the means of a magnet attracting a metal material to complete the assembly or disassembly operation of the deflector.

[0010] In particular, no tools are required throughout the assembly or disassembly process, the wall of the reserved hole is not damaged, effectively solving the drawback of the prior art that it cannot be restored, and the assembly or disassembly operation is carried out entirely by hand, which is both easy and simple, saving effort and time.

[0012] Preferably, the magnetic attraction structure includes: a metal part attached to the wall of the reserved hole formed by the instrument panel; a magnet fixed to the back of the frame, and the magnet magnetically attracts the metal part to combine the deflector with the instrument panel.

[0013] Preferably, the magnetic attraction structure includes: a magnet fixed to the wall of the reserved hole formed by the instrument panel; a metal part attached to the back of the frame, and the metal part magnetically attracts the magnet to combine the deflector with the instrument panel.

Detailed implementation manners

[0022] Next, in conjunction with the drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be further described. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to represent the same or similar structures or units. It can be predicted that the described embodiments are only partial examples of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the described examples, other embodiments can be deduced, or structures that need to be changed or varied as required should all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] In the following description, directional terms such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inside", "outside" and "side" only refer to the directions in the drawings. The use of directional terms is for better and clearer description and understanding of the present invention, and does not explicitly or implicitly imply that the described device or element must have a specific orientation, structure and operation, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the technical content of the present invention.

[0024] Unless specifically and clearly specified and limited, in the following description, "installation", "connection", "coupling" or "being provided on" should be understood in a broad sense, such as fixed connection, detachable connection, integral connection, mechanical connection, directly connected, indirectly connected or the connection inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, they can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in each embodiment, and even in the present invention, by virtue of ordinary knowledge or experience.

[0025] Unless otherwise stated, in the following description, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0026] In Figure 1In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, an instrument panel 82 is shown to have a plurality of reserved holes 84. Based on the functional design of a vehicle (not shown), the orientation and specifications of the reserved holes 84 on the instrument panel 82 are planned before leaving the factory and are not easily changed. A ring-shaped metal part 17 firmly adheres to the periphery of the reserved hole 84 through adhesion or other attachment means. A diversion device 10 is installed in the reserved hole 84 through the metal part 17 to connect to an air-conditioning system (not shown).

[0027] Among them, the diversion device 10 has a housing 11. One end of the housing 11 defines a frame 12, and the frame 12 surrounds the periphery of an air outlet 13. The diversion device 10 also has a plurality of blades 14, and each blade 14 is connected to the housing 11 and is parallel to each other and can swing in the same direction. One of the blades 14 has an operation part 15, and the operation part 15 controls each blade 14 to rotate relative to the housing 11 to an inclined angle.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, the housing 11 penetrates into the interior of the instrument panel 82 through the reserved hole 84, thereby connecting to the air-conditioning system. The operation part 15 controls each blade 14 to change the direction of the low-temperature gas flowing out of the air outlet. The frame 12 shields the wall of the instrument panel 82 that encloses the reserved hole 84, so that the metal part 17 and the frame 12 maintain a magnetic adsorption connection relationship.

[0029] In Figure 3 here, the so-called magnetic adsorption connection relationship generally refers to a magnet 16 attracting the metal part 17 by magnetism. In some embodiments, without a metal part, a magnetic adsorption connection relationship can also be generated by using two magnets 16 with opposite sexes attracting each other.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 shown again. In this embodiment, the number of the magnets 16 is multiple. The magnet 16 is a permanent magnet. One side of the permanent magnet adheres to the back of the frame 12, and the other side magnetically attracts the metal part 17, so that the diversion device 10 is combined with the instrument panel 82. In some embodiments, each magnet 16 adheres to the wall and is located around the reserved hole 84, and the metal part 17 adheres to the back of the frame 12. In still other embodiments, each magnet 16 firmly adheres to the wall of the instrument panel 82 around the reserved hole 84 and the back of the frame 12, and can also generate a magnetic adsorption connection relationship.

[0031] When disassembling, the operation part 15 is stressed to release the connection relationship between the magnet 16 magnetically attracting the metal part 17, so that the diversion device 10 leaves the instrument panel 82.

[0032] In summary, the magnet 16 and the metal part 17 form a magnetic attraction structure (not labeled). Alternatively, two magnets 16 with opposite polarities form the magnetic attraction structure. Whether assembling or disassembling, no tools are required throughout the process, and the wall of the reserved hole 84 is not damaged naturally. Moreover, the connection relationship of the magnetic attraction structure is both easy and labor-saving, effectively solving the drawback of non-restorability existing in the prior art.

[0033] Without departing from the broad concept of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand and make changes to the above-described embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the specification. For example, any modifications made according to the spirit and technical scope of the present invention should be covered and protected by the literal content defined by the present invention.
