Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine air conditioner installation components, in particular to a device capable of automatically adjusting the airflow direction of a terminal air outlet according to temperature. Background Art
[0002] As a key component of marine air-conditioning systems, the technologies behind marine air-conditioning vents cover multiple aspects, including airflow dynamic design, blade control, material selection, noise control, intelligent and energy-saving design. These technologies work together to ensure that marine air-conditioning systems provide a comfortable environment while being energy-efficient and sustainable.
[0003] Currently, temperature-dependent air vents, such as those found in home air conditioners, rely on electric actuators to control airflow direction. These can be adjusted to any angle or swing, but require numerous mechanisms. For some central air conditioning systems, the terminal vents are fixed, preventing the blades from adjusting based on temperature. Consequently, structural optimization and reduced space requirements for the terminal vent's control mechanisms are crucial. Given this, the industry is faced with the challenge of automatically adjusting the blade angle based on the terminal vent's temperature.
[0004] Based on this, a device is needed that can automatically adjust the airflow direction of the terminal air outlet according to the temperature, and a terminal air outlet with a temperature-sensing adjustment component is used to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device which can automatically adjust the airflow direction of the terminal air outlet according to the temperature.
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0007] The utility model provides a terminal flow guide device for a ship that adjusts direction according to temperature, comprising:
[0008] A grille assembly, the grille assembly being arranged at the end air outlet;
[0009] An air guide assembly is provided on the grille assembly and is rotatably connected to the grille assembly; the air guide assembly includes at least one air guide blade and at least one linkage member, the air guide blade is connected to the linkage member; the air guide blade is arranged horizontally or vertically relative to the grille assembly, and the linkage member is arranged perpendicular to the air guide blade; the rotation axis of the air guide blade is sequentially provided with a supporting shaft and a notch, and the linkage member is connected to the air guide blade through the notch.
[0010] The temperature-sensing adjustment component includes a driving device and a temperature-sensing device. The driving device is connected to the linkage component. The temperature-sensing device can detect the temperature of its surrounding environment, thereby controlling the rotation of the air guide component.
[0011] Preferably, shaft holes are provided at opposite ends of the grille assembly, and sealed bearings are provided at the shaft holes for mounting the supporting shaft so that the air guide assembly can rotate relative to the grille assembly.
[0012] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided on the supporting shaft, and a limiting portion is provided on the shaft hole, and the limiting portion is a groove; when the supporting shaft is connected to the shaft hole, the protrusion is engaged with the groove, and the protrusion can rotate in the groove as the supporting shaft rotates.
[0013] Furthermore, a blind hole is provided on the linkage member, and the blind hole is engaged and connected with the driving shaft provided on the driving device.
[0014] Preferably, a shock absorbing member is provided on the supporting shaft.
[0015] Furthermore, the temperature sensing device includes a control mechanism and a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor sends a signal to the control mechanism to control the action of the driving device.
[0016] Preferably, the temperature sensing device is a thermal expansion member, and the driving device is a connector connected to the thermal expansion member; when the temperature changes, the thermal expansion member drives the connector, thereby controlling the rotation of the air guide assembly.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the at least one technical solution adopted in the embodiments of this specification can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0019] First, the air guide assembly of the utility model can automatically adjust its direction according to temperature changes. When the ambient temperature is high, the blades are automatically adjusted to make the air direction of the air conditioner more vertical, which can spread the cold air to the entire room more quickly and improve the cooling efficiency; when the ambient temperature is low, the blades can be adjusted to a more horizontal direction, making the air flow more even, reducing unnecessary cooling or heating, and thus saving energy.
[0020] Second, the present invention reduces the customization of related components, optimizes the structural product application and expands the scope of use; by simplifying the grille assembly and air guide assembly, the related development and manufacturing costs can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall cost of the product; simplifying the product structure and reducing customized components can simplify the production process and assembly process.
[0021] Third, the temperature-sensing adjustment part of the present invention is a thermal expansion part, such as memory metal, which uses the thermal expansion characteristics of the temperature change itself to drive the movement of the connecting part or air guide component. No external power supply or mechanical transmission device is required, which simplifies the system design and installation and saves energy costs; the thermal expansion part has the ability to respond instantly to temperature changes. When the ambient temperature changes, the thermal expansion part will expand or contract rapidly, driving the connecting part or air guide component to adjust the position or angle accordingly, thereby realizing automatic adjustment and control; since the working principle of the thermal expansion part is based on the linear or nonlinear thermal expansion characteristics of the material, the angle or position of the air guide component can be accurately adjusted through reasonable design and material selection, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy and stability of the system; the displacement and driving action generated by the thermal expansion part during operation are usually relatively smooth, which can effectively reduce the noise and vibration during the operation of the system, and improve the comfort and quietness of use; as a type of mechanical transmission, the thermal expansion part has a simple structure and few components, so the failure rate is low, the life is long, and the maintenance cost and frequency are low, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the system.

[0031] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific concrete examples. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation methods, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Based on this, the embodiment of this specification proposes a terminal air outlet solution: the solution uses a temperature-sensing adjustment member 3 to achieve the effect of the blade automatically adjusting the angle according to the terminal air outlet temperature.
[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a terminal air guide device for a ship that adjusts its direction according to temperature, comprising: a grille assembly 1, an air guide assembly 2 and a temperature-sensing adjustment member 3, wherein the air guide assembly 2 is arranged on the grille assembly 1 and is rotatably connected to the grille assembly 1 through a supporting shaft; the grille assembly 1 is arranged at the terminal air outlet; the temperature-sensing adjustment member 3 includes a driving device and a temperature sensing device, and the driving device is connected to the linkage member 22; the temperature sensing device can detect the ambient temperature of its own surrounding environment, thereby controlling the rotation of the air guide assembly 2.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the air guide assembly 2 includes at least one air guide blade 21 and at least one linkage 22, and the air guide blade 21 is connected to the linkage 22; the air guide blade 21 is arranged horizontally or vertically relative to the grille assembly 1, and the linkage 22 is arranged perpendicular to the air guide blade 21; the rotation axis of the air guide blade 21 is sequentially provided with a support shaft and a notch 212, and the linkage 22 is connected to the air guide blade 21 through the notch 212.
[0035] In this solution, the temperature-sensing adjustment element 3 automatically adjusts the airflow direction, effectively utilizing ambient temperature changes to optimize air flow and distribution, thereby reducing energy consumption. For example, in summer, cool air can be directed to areas requiring cooling, while in winter, warm air can be directed to areas requiring heating, thereby reducing the load on the air conditioner or heater. The terminal air guide device of this application can be applied to various types of terminal equipment, such as air conditioning outlets and ventilation systems, and has a wide range of applicability. It is suitable not only for homes, but also for offices, shopping malls, factories, and other places.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, shaft holes are provided at opposite ends of the grille assembly 1, and sealed bearings are provided at the shaft holes for installing a support shaft so that the air guide assembly 2 can rotate relative to the grille assembly 1; when used in vehicle air conditioning or other scenarios where vibrations are easily generated, a shock absorber 213, such as a shock-absorbing pad or buffering material, can be added at the interface between the shaft hole and the support shaft 211; in this embodiment, an adjustable damper is also added to the support shaft 211 to control the rotation speed of the air guide assembly 2.
[0037] In this solution, a stable support point is provided through the shaft hole to ensure that the air guide component 2 rotates stably and firmly, reducing the possibility of shaking and displacement, thereby improving the stability and durability of the system; at the same time, the sealed bearing can effectively prevent dust, dirt and moisture from entering the interior of the bearing, protecting the bearing assembly from contamination, reducing wear, and extending the service life of the bearing and the entire system.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a protrusion is provided on the support shaft 211, and a limiting portion is provided on the shaft hole, which is a groove; when the support shaft 211 is connected to the shaft hole, the protrusion is engaged with the groove, and the protrusion can rotate in the groove as the support shaft 211 rotates.
[0039] In this solution, the locking structure of the protrusion and the groove effectively prevents the support shaft 211 from falling off from the shaft hole, enhances the stability and safety of the air guide component 2, and ensures that the system will not cause component separation due to vibration or other factors during operation; the limit part can limit the rotation range of the support shaft 211, avoid excessive rotation of the air guide component 2 or exceed the preset angle, thereby preventing misoperation or damage of the air guide component 2; by reasonably designing the length of the groove, the air guide angle range can be precisely controlled.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, a blind hole is provided on the linkage member 22, and the blind hole is engaged with a driving shaft provided on the driving device.
[0041] In this solution, a blind hole is provided on the linkage member 22 to make the installation process simpler and faster; the user only needs to insert the drive shaft into the blind hole to complete the connection without the need for additional fixing devices or complicated installation steps.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature sensing device includes a control mechanism and a temperature sensor, which sends a signal to the control mechanism through the temperature sensor to control the action of the driving device; the control mechanism can also introduce a feedback system to monitor the angle of the air guide blade 21 through a position sensor, and feed back the information to the control mechanism to achieve closed-loop control, thereby further improving the accuracy and reliability of the adjustment.
[0043] In this solution, the temperature sensor detects changes in ambient temperature in real time and sends the data to the control mechanism to achieve automatic control; this can reduce manual intervention and improve the system's degree of automation and operational convenience; through real-time temperature data, the control mechanism can accurately adjust the action of the drive device, so that the air guide component 2 can be accurately adjusted according to changes in ambient temperature, ensuring uniform and comfortable indoor temperature.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature sensing device is a thermal expansion member, and the driving device is a connector connected to the thermal expansion member; when the temperature changes, the thermal expansion member drives the connector, thereby controlling the rotation of the air guide component 2; the thermal expansion member can be selected from materials with a high and stable thermal expansion coefficient according to the application scenario, such as shape memory alloy (SMA) or bimetallic strips. The above materials can produce significant mechanical displacement when the temperature changes, thereby improving the response sensitivity and accuracy of the system; in addition, a multi-stage thermal expansion component can be designed according to actual needs, so that it can adjust the air guide component 2 step by step within different temperature ranges, thereby achieving more detailed temperature control
[0045] In this solution, the thermal expansion component relies on temperature changes to generate mechanical displacement, does not require power supply, and realizes purely mechanical automatic control, which is suitable for occasions without power supply or with low dependence on power supply; since the mechanical structure of the thermal expansion component is relatively simple, its failure rate is low and maintenance requirements are low; in addition, the working principle of the thermal expansion component is based on the physical properties of the material, and it has high reliability and long life; the thermal expansion component responds quickly to temperature changes and can adjust the air guide component 2 in real time to ensure that rapid changes in indoor ambient temperature are responded to in a timely manner; the cost of thermal expansion materials and mechanical connectors is relatively low, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are also low, which helps to reduce the cost of the entire system and improve economy.
[0046] In addition, under the spirit of the utility model of the present invention, the specific embodiment of the terminal guide device of the present invention can also add new deformation schemes on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, for example: using a deformable or multi-stage wind guide component 2 to make the wind guide angle and range more flexible and adapt to different environments and needs; it is also possible to consider using flexible materials or modular designs to enable it to adjust the direction more smoothly and reduce noise and wear. The other components and the connection methods between the components are the same as the previous embodiments of the present invention, and will not be repeated here due to space reasons. However, it should be understood that these components and the connection methods between the components can be introduced into this deformation scheme as equivalent embodiments.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
