DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments:

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.

[0036] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of this utility model, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only to distinguish the description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the movable air outlet on the instrument panel of the present invention is embedded in the instrument panel assembly and consists of an air outlet housing 1, air outlet blades 2, an air outlet dial button 3, a sliding curtain 4, a sliding curtain track I5, and a sliding curtain track II6.

[0038] Wherein, the air outlet blades 2 include horizontal blades 2-1 and vertical blades 2-3.

[0039] There are three horizontal blades 2-1, each with its own rotating shaft. These blades are mounted on the upper inner portion of the air outlet housing 1, spaced apart. Specifically, the raised structures at each end of the blade's rotating shaft engage with slots at the left and right edges of the top opening of the air outlet housing 1, allowing the blades to rotate up and down around the shaft under external force. In addition to the rotating shaft, each horizontal blade 2-1 also has a connecting rod connection on one side, which connects to the blade connecting rod I 2-2, allowing the three horizontal blades 2-1 to rotate in unison.

[0040] There are five vertical blades 2-3 installed below the horizontal blades 2-1. Each blade has its own rotating shaft, and the middle blade is equipped with a fork connecting rod. The protrusions at each end of the blade's rotating shaft snap into the slots at the upper and lower edges of the top opening of the air outlet housing 1, allowing the blades to rotate left and right around the shaft under external force. In addition to the rotating shaft, the tops of the five blades also have connecting rods that connect to the blade connecting rod II 2-4, allowing the five vertical blades 2-3 to rotate in unison.

[0041] An air outlet dial 3 is provided on the middle horizontal blade 2-1. The air outlet dial 3 consists of a dial body 3-1 and a shift fork 3-2 located below the dial body. The dial body 3-1 is a hollow structure, and the horizontal blade 2-1 can pass through and cooperate with the dial body 3-1, and can move along the horizontal blade 2-1 under the action of an external force. Slots are symmetrically provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the dial body 3-1. The top engaging structure of the shift fork 3-2 can engage with the slots, fixing the shift fork 3-2 below the dial body 3-1. The shift fork 3-2 has a clearance fit with the shift fork connecting rod on the middle vertical blade 2-3. In the present utility model, the horizontal blade 2-1 and the vertical blade 2-3 are connected by the air outlet dial 3. When the air outlet dial 3 is toggled by a finger, the corresponding blade can be controlled to rotate.

[0042] Specifically, when the finger moves the air outlet dial button 3 so that it does not move left and right on the horizontal blade 2-1, and only rotates the middle horizontal blade 2-1 up and down, the air outlet is controlled to blow air up and down, and the demand for the air outlet to blow air up and down is met, and its rotation angle does not exceed 65°. When the finger moves the air outlet dial button 3 so that it moves left and right on the horizontal blade 2-1, the middle vertical blade 2-3 can be driven to rotate left and right by the fork 3-2 to control the air outlet to blow air left and right. The angle of rotation of the vertical blade 2-3 is no more than 60°. Alternatively, the finger can move the air outlet dial button 3 so that it moves left and right on the horizontal blade 2-1, and then the air outlet dial button 3 is rotated up and down to control the air outlet to blow air up and down, left and right.

[0043] In the present invention, the air outlet housing 1, the air outlet blades 2 and the air outlet dial button 3 constitute an air outlet mechanism.

[0044] The sliding curtain 4 consists of a first and second sliding curtain section, with the air outlet housing 1 positioned between the two sections. Both the air outlet housing 1 and the sliding curtain 4 are located between sliding curtain tracks I5 and II6. The ends of the air outlet housing 1 are secured to the first and second sliding curtain sections by welding. The sliding curtain 4, sliding curtain tracks I5, and sliding curtain tracks II6 form the sliding curtain mechanism. Sliding curtain tracks I5 and II6 sandwich the sliding curtain 4 and the air outlet mechanism between the tracks. The connecting ends of sliding curtain tracks I5 and II6 are secured with two screws 7, forming a mobile air outlet assembly. The ends of the first and second sliding curtain sections slide into the track grooves of sliding curtain tracks I5 and II6, respectively, allowing the sliding curtain 4 and the air outlet mechanism to slide together on the tracks when an external force is applied. This mobile air outlet assembly is screwed back onto the passenger side of the dashboard, allowing for both passenger and partial driver use.

[0045] The movable air outlet assembly can be moved laterally to any position. Specifically, the user can manually move the air outlet dial 3 to move the air outlet mechanism laterally. The air outlet mechanism drives the sliding curtain, which slides laterally within the sliding curtain track, allowing the air outlet mechanism to move laterally within a certain range between the center and right sides of the instrument panel. When moving the air outlet mechanism, the user needs to use their fingers to move the air outlet dial 3 laterally with great force. After moving, the position of the air outlet dial 3 on the horizontal blade 2-1 can be adjusted to adjust the left and right blowing angles.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] In the present invention, the air outlet mechanism and the sliding curtain mechanism jointly construct a movable air outlet assembly on the dashboard. After being assembled to the dashboard assembly, the air outlet is moved laterally through the coordinated movement of the air outlet and the sliding curtain, and the movement range is 600mm left and right, taking into account the blowing of the driver in a partial range and the blowing of the entire co-driver, so that the user has a very good user experience.

[0048] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, while the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
