[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a hidden structure for automobile air outlets, comprising a fixing plate 1, an air outlet pipe 2 and an air outlet 4. The front end of the air outlet pipe 2 is adapted to the air outlet 4. Two opposing baffles 3 are slidably arranged between the air outlet pipe 2 and the fixing plate 1. The baffles 3 pass through the air outlet pipe 2 and are located behind the air outlet 4. The baffles 3 protrude from one end of the air outlet pipe 2 and extend to both sides of the air outlet pipe 2. Positioning blocks 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the air outlet pipe 2, and the positioning blocks 8 are fixedly connected to the back of the fixing plate 1. Each baffle 3 Both ends of the , are fixedly connected with compression springs 7, and one end of each compression spring 7 is fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning block 8. By utilizing the elastic force setting of the compression spring 7, the two baffles 3 can be automatically separated, thereby ensuring that the two baffles 3 are away from each other. The front of the two baffles 3 is provided with a locking mechanism. Through the setting of the locking mechanism, the two baffles 3 can be easily slid together and then locked, thereby hiding and blocking the air outlet 4, and the operation is more convenient and flexible when releasing the lock of the two baffles 3.

[0022] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the locking mechanism includes two mounting grooves 14, and the two mounting grooves 14 are relatively staggered. The two mounting grooves 14 are respectively opened on the front of the two baffles 3. The inner wall of each mounting groove 14 is fixedly connected with a positioning shaft 15 and a tension spring 13. The surface of each positioning shaft 15 is sleeved with a locking rod 12. The locking rod 12 is L-shaped, and the adjacent ends of the two locking rods 12 are clamped. One end of each tension spring 13 is fixedly connected to the corresponding locking rod 12, and the ends of the two locking rods 12 away from each other are fixedly connected with a shift rod 10. Through the arrangement of the above structure, the two baffles 3 can be conveniently moved. To lock, you only need to move the two levers 10 closer together, so that the adjacent ends of the two locking rods 12 are locked and locked, avoiding separation between the two baffles 3 to hide the air outlet 4. To unlock the two baffles 3, you only need to move one of the levers 10 to drive the locking rod 12 to rotate around the positioning axis 15, thereby separating the locked ends of the two locking rods 12, and using the elastic force of the compression spring 7 to automatically move the two baffles 3 away from each other, so that the air outlet 4 can be used normally. The operation is more flexible and convenient, and there is no need to use additional electrical equipment for control, which reduces production costs.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the air outlet 4 is fixedly connected to two opposite side panels 5, and the two baffles 3 are slidably set on the back of the two side panels 5. Through the setting of the side panels 5, the two baffles 3 are ensured to be in close contact with the air outlet 4, thereby ensuring the sealing effect between the baffles 3 and the air outlet 4.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner bottom wall and the inner top wall of the air outlet 4 are both provided with a receiving groove 6, and the two receiving grooves 6 are respectively adapted to the locking mechanisms on the two baffles 3, so that the receiving groove 6 is adapted to the shift rod 10 and the locking rod 12, and the front end of the shift rod 10 extends out of the front end of the receiving groove 6, so that people can shift the two shift rods 10 closer to each other. Through the setting of the receiving groove 6, when the two baffles 3 are unlocked, the locking rod 12 and the shift rod 10 can be stored in the receiving groove 6 to ensure that the air outlet duct 2 blows air normally to the outside of the air outlet 4.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the air outlet duct 2 are both provided with a blocking groove 11, and the adjacent side surfaces of the two baffles 3 are fixedly connected with an extension plate 9 adapted to the blocking groove 11. Through the setting of the blocking groove 11 and the extension plate 9, when the two baffles 3 are unlocked, they can automatically move away from each other, so that the extension plate 9 can be normally inserted into the corresponding blocking groove 11, which not only ensures the positioning effect of the baffle 3 and prevents the baffle 3 from detaching from the front end of the air outlet duct 2, but also ensures normal blowing in the air outlet duct 2.

[0026] The working principle and usage process of the present invention: when the air outlet 4 needs to be hidden and blocked, it is only necessary to move the two levers 10 closer to each other, and further drive the two baffles 3 closer to each other. When the two baffles 3 are in contact, the adjacent ends of the two locking rods 12 can be automatically engaged and locked to complete the hiding and blocking of the air outlet 4. When the air outlet 4 needs to be used normally, it is only necessary to move one of the levers 10 to drive the locking rod 12 to rotate around the positioning axis 15, so that the locked ends of the two locking rods 12 are separated, and the elastic force of each compression spring 7 is used to automatically move the two baffles 3 away from each other, ensuring the communication between the air outlet 4 and the air outlet duct 2. The operation is more flexible and convenient, no additional electrical equipment is required for control, and the production and assembly costs are also reduced.
