Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to an adjustable air outlet and its installation component. Background Art

[0002] An automobile air conditioner outlet is used to control the opening and closing of the air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner and the air direction. With the continuous development of the domestic automobile field, vehicle air conditioners have become a basic configuration. Not only passenger cars, but also most commercial vehicles are equipped with vehicle air conditioners. The vehicle air conditioner outlet is generally made of plastic, and the opening and closing of a certain air outlet and the adjustment of the air direction are controlled by the blades of the air outlet.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 103847465 A discloses an air outlet installation component for a large bus. The first air conditioner adjustment port has a first adjustment piece and a second adjustment piece. The first adjustment piece has a first connection part, and the second adjustment piece has a second connection part. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively movably clamped and connected to the first connection part and the second connection part. By adjusting the first adjustment piece and the second adjustment piece, the air outlet can be opened, and at the same time, the air outlet direction can be adjusted. It can be seen from the attached drawings that the first adjustment piece and the second adjustment piece of this structure are a linkage structure. Pressing the first adjustment piece can drive the second adjustment piece to swing through the connecting rod, so as to control the opening degree and the air outlet direction of the air outlet. However, in actual use, we found that the air outlet direction of this structure is completely realized by the swing angle and cannot achieve full coverage of the air direction; in addition, when the first adjustment piece and the second adjustment piece of this structure control the opening degree and the air outlet direction of the air outlet through the swing angle, due to no limit, they are easily affected by their own weight, resulting in the air outlet not being able to always maintain an opening degree and an air outlet direction.

Detailed implementation manners

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below. 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.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an installation assembly, including a panel 1, and an adjustable air outlet 2 is arranged on the panel 1. Here, the adjustable air outlet 2 is the adjustable air outlet referred to in the present utility model.

[0027] The adjustable air outlet 2 includes an adjusting piece assembly 21, an air duct 22 and a fixing ring 23; mounting planes 221 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the air duct 22, transverse through holes 2211 are arranged on the mounting planes 221, and a plurality of first arc-shaped grooves 222 are annularly arranged at the bottom of the air duct 22; a limiting step 231 is arranged on the inner wall of the fixing ring 23, a first counterbore 2311 is arranged on the limiting step 231, and a first spring pin 2312 is arranged in the first counterbore 2311; a plurality of clamping latches 232 are further arranged above the limiting step 231 of the fixing ring 23, a circular groove 223 is arranged on the outer wall of the air duct 22 below the mounting plane 221, the fixing ring 23 is sleeved outside the air duct 22, the bottom of the air duct 22 contacts the top of the limiting step 231, the clamping latches 232 are inserted into the circular groove 223 and can slide along the circular groove 223, so that the air duct 22 is rotatably mounted on the fixing ring 23, and the air duct 22 is fixed at a set angle by inserting the first spring pin 2312 into one of the first arc-shaped grooves 222; rotating shafts 2111 are arranged at both ends of the adjusting piece assembly 21, and the rotating shafts 2111 are used for cooperating with the transverse through holes 2211, so that the adjusting piece assembly 21 is rotatably mounted on the air duct 22 and is used for opening or closing the air outlet arranged on the air duct 22. Specifically, the first spring pin 2312 includes a spring and a ball, the spring and the ball are sequentially arranged in the first counterbore 2311 from inside to outside, and the ball protrudes from the first counterbore 2311 through the spring for cooperating with the first arc-shaped groove 222. One end of the clamping latch 232 clamped into the circular groove 223 is arc-shaped, so that the sliding of the clamping latch 232 in the circular groove 223 is smoother. Through the cooperation of the clamping latch 232 and the circular groove 223, the air duct 22 can rotate 360 degrees on the fixing ring 23, and through the cooperation of the first spring pin 2312 and the first arc-shaped groove 222, the air duct 22 is fixed at a set angle. By the mutual cooperation of the air duct 22 and the adjusting piece assembly 21 to control the adjustment of the air outlet direction, the all-round coverage of the air direction is realized, which not only increases the air direction adjustment range, but also simplifies the structure and reduces the cost. In this embodiment, eight first arc-shaped grooves 222 are annularly arranged at the bottom of the air duct 22, that is, the air duct 22 can be fixed at eight set angles. Of course, those skilled in the art understand that it can also be ten, twelve..., and can be specifically set according to needs.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to prevent the adjusting piece assembly 21 from being infinitely susceptible to the influence of its own weight, thereby causing the air outlet to be unable to always maintain a certain opening degree and air outlet direction; the adjusting piece assembly 21 is provided with a second countersunk hole 2112 on the outside of the rotating shaft 2111 at one end, and a second spring pin 2113 is provided in the second countersunk hole 2112; the wind ring 22 is provided with a plurality of second arc grooves 2212 in a circular array on the outside of the transverse through hole 2211 at the corresponding position, and the second spring pin 2113 is inserted into one of the second arc grooves 2212, so that the adjusting piece assembly 21 is fixed at a set angle, and the second spring pin 2113 cooperates with the second arc groove 2212 to keep the adjusting piece assembly 21 at a set angle, thereby preventing the air outlet from always maintaining a certain opening degree and air outlet direction. In this embodiment, the wind ring 22 is provided with four second arc-shaped grooves 2212 on the outer side of the transverse through hole 2211, and the four second arc-shaped grooves 2212 respectively cooperate with the second spring pin 2113, so that the adjusting sheet assembly 21 is fixed at 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 60 degrees and 90 degrees. When the adjusting sheet assembly 21 is fixed at 0 degrees, the air outlet is in a closed state; when the adjusting sheet assembly 21 is fixed at 30 degrees, 60 degrees or 90 degrees, the air outlet is in an open state, and the opening degree and air outlet direction are different.

[0029] In order to prevent the second spring pin 2113 from failing to cooperate with the second arc-shaped groove 2212, resulting in failure of the limit of the adjusting plate assembly 21, a first stop 224 and a second stop 225 are also provided on the wind ring 22.
