Detailed implementation manners

[0030] To facilitate the understanding of the present utility model, the present utility model will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. Typical embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the drawings.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] An electric vehicle with an automatic adjustment and control system, as Figures 1 - 5 shown, includes a main body 1 of the electric vehicle. Inside the main body 1 of the electric vehicle, there is a central control console 2. At the front side of the central control console 2, there is an air outlet mechanism 3. The air outlet mechanism 3 includes a housing 301. Inside the housing 301, a horizontal air deflector 302 and a vertical air deflector 303 are rotatably connected through a rotating rod 304. A sliding piece 305 is slidably connected to the horizontal air deflector 302. At the top of the sliding piece 305, there is a lead screw motor 308. An installation groove 306 is formed on the surface of the horizontal air deflector 302. Inside the installation groove 306, there is a lead screw 307. On one side of the central control console 2, there is a steering wheel 5. Control buttons 6 are installed on the surface of the steering wheel 5. By simple operations, the driver can easily control the horizontal air outlet direction of the air outlet mechanism 3. The driver only needs to press the control buttons 6 on the steering wheel 5, and the signal will be transmitted to the control system. Subsequently, the control system accurately controls the operation of the lead screw motor 308. This automated operation method significantly improves the convenience of use. At the same time, since the driver is prevented from manually adjusting the sliding piece 305 in the air outlet mechanism 3, this mechanism ensures that the driver does not need to be distracted to observe and operate the air outlet during driving, so that the driver can be more focused on driving, effectively reducing the potential safety hazards caused by distraction. In addition, with the real-time feedback of the infrared distance sensor 310 and the display screen 4, the driver can intuitively understand the state and air direction of the air outlet, which further enhances the accuracy of the operation, provides a better driving experience for the driver, and improves the driving safety. Generally speaking, this automatic adjustment mechanism inside the main body 1 of the electric vehicle not only improves the driving comfort, but also plays an important role in ensuring driving safety.

[0033] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5, the lead screw motor 308 is electrically connected to an external power supply through a control center. The lead screw motor 308 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 307, ensuring stable power supply for the motor, enabling the motor to work continuously and stably, thus guaranteeing the smooth adjustment of the air outlet mechanism 3. At the same time, the threaded connection between the lead screw motor 308 and the lead screw 307 achieves precise linear motion control. This connection method not only has high transmission efficiency but also accurate positioning, capable of ensuring the precise movement of the sliding piece 305 on the lateral air deflector 302, and further precisely adjusting the air outlet direction. This setting and connection method show significant beneficial effects in improving the accuracy and stability of air conditioner air outlet adjustment.

[0034] Such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , both the lateral air deflector 302 and the longitudinal air deflector 303 are provided with multiple ones and arranged in an equidistant linear pattern. This increases the adjustable range of the air outlet, making the adjustment of the air direction more flexible and variable, meeting the personalized needs of different passengers for the air direction. At the same time, the equidistant linear arrangement of the air deflectors ensures a more uniform air flow distribution at the air outlet, avoiding the situation of excessive or insufficient local wind force, thus providing a more comfortable riding environment, not only improving the use effect of the air conditioning system but also enhancing the comfort and satisfaction of passengers.

[0035] Such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , multiple lateral air deflectors 302 and longitudinal air deflectors 303 form a synchronous rotation mechanism through connecting rods, ensuring that all air deflectors can rotate uniformly and coordinately. This greatly simplifies the adjustment process, enabling the driver or passenger to adjust all air deflectors simultaneously with just one operation. At the same time, synchronous rotation also guarantees the uniformity and consistency of the air flow at the air outlet, avoiding problems such as uneven wind force distribution or air flow disorder caused by asynchronous rotation of the air deflectors. Generally speaking, this setting improves the operation convenience and optimizes the efficiency and effect of in-vehicle climate control.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] Such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5, a baffle 309 is provided on one side of the sliding vane 305, and an infrared ranging sensor 310 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the outer shell 301. The baffle 309 provides a clear reflection surface for the infrared ranging sensor 310, enabling the sensor to accurately measure the position of the sliding vane 305, ensuring the accuracy and repeatability of the air outlet adjustment, and providing reliable position feedback for the automatic control system. At the same time, the infrared ranging sensor 310 on one side of the inner wall of the outer shell 301 can detect the position change of the sliding vane 305 in real time and accurately, so as to realize the real-time monitoring and adjustment of the air outlet state. This not only improves the intelligence level of the air conditioning system, but also provides more accurate air outlet control for the driver, further enhancing the comfort and safety of driving.

[0038] Such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the infrared ranging sensor 310 is electrically connected to an external power supply through a control center. The infrared ranging sensor 310 is opposite to the baffle 309 in position, ensuring the stable power supply and continuous operation of the sensor, so that the state of the air outlet mechanism can be monitored continuously. This connection method simplifies the power management and improves the reliability of the system. At the same time, the infrared ranging sensor 310 is opposite to the baffle 309 in position, enabling the sensor to directly and accurately capture the position information of the baffle, and then accurately calculate the displacement of the sliding vane 305. This layout not only improves the measurement accuracy, but also provides timely and effective data support for the automatic control system, making the adjustment of the air outlet more accurate and fast.

[0039] Such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , a display screen 4 is provided above the front side of the center console 2 for displaying the sliding degree of the sliding vane 305. The display screen 4 can intuitively display the sliding degree of the sliding vane 305, enabling the driver to clearly understand the current state of the air outlet, providing immediate visual feedback, helping the driver accurately judge and control the direction and intensity of the air outlet. At the same time, through the real-time display of the display screen 4, the driver does not need to distract to check the air outlet itself, thus reducing the interference during driving and improving the driving safety. It not only enhances the driver's sense of control over the air conditioning system, but also improves the driving convenience and safety.

[0040] During implementation: When the driver needs to horizontally adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner outlet, the driver presses the control button 6 on the steering wheel 5 to transmit a signal to the control system. Subsequently, the control system controls the operation of the lead screw motor 308, and uses the threaded connection between the lead screw motor 308 and the lead screw 307 to drive the sliding piece 305 to move horizontally. Then, the longitudinal air deflector 303 is toggled to rotate at an angle, and at the same time, the horizontal air outlet direction of the air outlet is changed. Through this mechanism, the driver can control the horizontal air outlet direction of the air outlet by pressing the control button 6 on the steering wheel 5, avoiding the operator manually sliding the sliding piece 305, thereby preventing the operator from being distracted and observing the position of the air outlet and the sliding piece 305, and reducing potential safety hazards;

[0041] The sliding position of the sliding piece 305 is measured by the infrared distance measuring sensor 310, and the information is transmitted to the control center. The control center dynamically displays the air outlet direction through the display screen 4 through an algorithm, providing a more intuitive wind direction signal for the driver.

[0042] The advantages of this technical solution in practical applications include but are not limited to the following points:

[0043] 1. The automated adjustment method avoids the driver from being distracted to observe and operate the air outlet during driving, enabling them to focus more on the road conditions and driving, effectively reducing safety hazards caused by distraction;

[0044] 2. Through the feedback mechanism of the infrared distance measuring sensor and the display screen, the driver can intuitively understand the state of the air outlet, further enhancing the accuracy of operation and the safety of driving.
