DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more clear and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 - 6 shown, a defrost air outlet structure of an automotive instrument panel includes an instrument panel body 11. Two defrost air outlets 12 are symmetrically provided at the front end of the instrument panel body 11. A wind guiding member 14 is installed inside the defrost air outlet 12. An air outlet 15 is provided at the middle position of the wind guiding member 14. A plurality of wind guiding vanes 16 are installed inside the air outlet 15.

[0030] It further includes an installation assembly which is arranged at the connection between the defrost air outlet 12 and the wind guiding member 14 and is used for installing the wind guiding member 14 inside the defrost air outlet 12.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is started and the defrost function is turned on, warm air enters the defrost air outlet 12 through the air duct system. Under the guidance of the wind guiding member 14, the warm air flows along a predetermined direction to the air outlet 15. Inside the air outlet, the wind guiding vanes 16 fine-tune the warm air so that it can blow more precisely to the frost or fog area on the front windshield. In this way, the warm air can quickly remove the frost or fog on the front windshield and improve driving safety.

[0032] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the installation assembly includes two locking holes 13 and movable slots 18. The two locking holes 13 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the defrost air outlet 12. The two movable slots 18 are symmetrically provided at the left and right ends of the wind guiding member 14. Each movable slot 18 corresponds to a locking hole 13 in position. A spring cavity 17 and a connection cavity 19 are provided inside the wind guiding member 14. The movable slot 18 is connected to the inside of the spring cavity 17 through a perforation. A moving slot 20 is provided at the front end of the wind guiding member 14. The moving slot 20 is connected to the inside of the spring cavity 17 through the connection cavity 19. A locking unit is slidably installed inside the locking hole 13 and the movable slot 18.

[0033] Through the mutual cooperation of the locking unit with the locking hole 13 and the movable slot 18, the installation assembly can ensure a firm connection between the wind guiding member 14 and the defrost air outlet 12. This firm connection not only helps prevent warm air leakage but also reduces noise and looseness caused by vibration.

[0034] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the locking unit includes a lock block 25 which is slidably installed inside the lock hole 13 and the movable slot 18. One end of the lock block 25 away from the lock hole 13 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 24. The other end of the connecting rod 24 passes through the perforation and extends into the spring chamber 17 to be fixedly connected to a limiting plate 23. The outer wall of the connecting rod 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the perforation. The limiting plate 23 is slidably installed inside the spring chamber 17. One end of the spring chamber 17 away from the connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to a return spring 22, and the other end of the return spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spring chamber 17. The limiting plate 23 is fixedly connected to a moving block 27 through a connecting plate 26. The outer wall of the connecting plate 26 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting chamber 19. The moving block 27 is slidably installed inside the moving slot 20.

[0035] When the lock block 25 moves, the connecting rod 24 will move accordingly, and then drive the limiting plate 23 to slide inside the spring chamber 17, thereby compressing the return spring 22. When the air guiding member 14 enters the defrosting air outlet 12, the return spring 22 will release the stored energy, push the limiting plate 23 and the connecting rod 24 to move, so as to push the lock block 25 to slide along the movable slot 18 and finally enter the lock hole 13, thus realizing the locking.

[0036] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, sliding slots 21 are symmetrically formed in the inner wall of the moving slot 20, and sliding blocks 28 matching the sliding slots 21 are fixedly installed at both ends of the moving block 27.

[0037] The close fit between the sliding block 28 and the sliding slot 21 not only plays a guiding role, but also enhances the connection stability between the moving block 27 and the moving slot 20. Through the embedded installation of the sliding block 28 in the sliding slot 21, it can effectively prevent the moving block 27 from shaking or falling off when subjected to external forces, thus ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the locking unit.

[0038] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, a pulling slot 29 is formed at the front end of the moving block 27.

[0039] The design of the pulling slot 29 enables users to more easily grasp and operate the moving block 27. Compared with the traditional flat or convex design, the pulling slot 29 provides a larger grasping area and better hand feeling, enabling users to apply force more easily, thus more easily controlling the movement of the moving block 27 and further disassembling and assembling the air guiding member 14.

[0040] In one embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, a fixing plate 30 is fixedly installed at the front end of the air guiding member 14. The fixing plate 30 is hinged to a cover plate 33 through a damping hinge 31. A first magnetic plate 32 is arranged at the front end of the fixing plate 30, and a second magnetic plate 34 matching the first magnetic plate 32 is installed on the cover plate 33.

[0041] The cover plate 33 is hinged to the fixing plate 30 through the damping hinge 31, and can be conveniently opened and closed. When the defrosting function is not needed, the cover plate 33 can closely cover the front end of the air guiding member 14, thereby protecting components such as the air guiding member 14 and the locking unit inside it from dust, dirt and accidental damage. This protective effect helps to extend the service life of the defrosting air outlet structure.

[0042] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the width of the cover plate 33 and the fixing plate 30 is greater than the width of the air guiding member 14, and the cover plate 33 is attached to and covers the air guiding member 14.

[0043] Since the widths of the cover plate 33 and the fixing plate 30 are large enough, they can closely fit around the air guiding member 14 to form an effective seal. This sealing property can prevent external factors such as air, dust and moisture from invading the inside of the air guiding member 14, and protect the mechanical structure and electrical components inside it from damage.

[0044] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, two limiting blocks 35 are symmetrically and fixedly arranged at the front end of the instrument panel body 11. A rotating groove 36 is formed in the side wall of the limiting block 35. A limiting plate 37 is rotatably installed inside the rotating groove 36. A rotating rod 38 is fixedly connected to the front end of the limiting plate 37, and the other end of the rotating rod 38 extends outside the limiting block 35 and is fixedly connected to a turning handle 39.

[0045] The design of the rotating rod 38 and the turning handle 39 enables the user to easily operate the limiting plate 37. The user only needs to hold the turning handle 39 and apply appropriate force to drive the limiting plate 37 to rotate in the rotating groove 36 through the rotating rod 38. When the limiting plate 37 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the movement of the cover plate 33 is restricted to avoid the cover plate 33 blocking the air guiding member 14, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle defrosting function.

[0046] The above embodiment discloses a defrosting air outlet structure of an automotive instrument panel. Among them, when the vehicle is started and the defrosting function is turned on, the warm air is guided to the defrosting air outlet 12 through the vehicle's air duct system.

[0047] After the warm air enters the defrosting air outlet 12, it first encounters the air guiding member 14. The design of the air guiding member 14 enables the warm air to flow along a predetermined direction to the air outlet 15.

[0048] Before the warm air reaches the air outlet 15, it passes through a number of air guiding vanes 16. These air guiding vanes 16 can fine-tune the warm air so that it blows towards the frost or fog area on the front windshield at a more precise angle and speed.

[0049] The air guiding member 14 is firmly installed inside the defrost air outlet 12 through a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes parts such as a lock hole 13, a movable slot 18, and a locking unit. When the air guiding member 14 is pushed into the defrost air outlet 12, the lock block 25 in the locking unit will automatically slide into the lock hole 13 under the action of the return spring 22 to achieve a firm connection between the air guiding member 14 and the defrost air outlet 12.

[0050] When the defrost function is not in use, the cover plate 33 is hinged to the fixed plate 30 through a damping hinge 31 and tightly covers the front end of the air guiding member 14. In addition, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic plate 32 and the second magnetic plate 34 further enhances the connection stability between the cover plate 33 and the fixed plate 30.

[0051] When it is necessary to prevent the cover plate 33 from blocking the air guiding member 14, the user can operate the turning handle 39 to rotate the limiting plate 37. The limiting plate 37 is connected to the turning handle 39 through a rotating rod 38 and rotates inside the rotating slot 36. By adjusting the angle and position of the limiting plate 37, the user can ensure that the warm air can blow out smoothly and avoid the interference of the cover plate 33.

[0052] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
