AI Technical Summary
In existing automotive interiors, the low coefficient of friction between high-gloss blades and damping components makes it easy for the damping components and blades to slip, resulting in uneven friction and poor handling.
A groove is made on the outer side of the high-gloss blade, and the damping component is placed in the groove. The friction force is generated by the contact between the movable groove of the toggle assembly and the groove wall, which replaces the traditional friction method between the damping component and the blade. The damping component and the movable groove wall form a limiting structure.
This avoids slippage between the damping components and the high-gloss blades, ensuring uniform friction, improving the handling feel, and enhancing the user experience.

[0023] In this document, reference to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it necessarily mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood that the embodiments described herein are capable of combination.
[0024] The present application discloses a specific implementation of an air outlet damping mounting structure, please see Figures 1 to 2 The damping mounting structure includes a knob assembly 1, a damping member 3, and a high-gloss blade 2. The high-gloss blade 2 has excellent surface finish and high rigidity, and is usually made of a composite material with low water absorption, such as glass fiber reinforced PA6 composite. This composite material combines the high strength of glass fiber and the excellent toughness, heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties of PA6 to ensure that it can maintain sufficient strength after absorbing moisture or being heated.
[0025] In conjunction with Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown in the figure, the knob assembly 1 is formed with a movable slot 10 for inserting the highlight blade 2. Specifically, the knob assembly 1 comprises a knob body 11 and a knob base 12 detachably connected with the knob body 11. Optionally, the knob body 11 extends a plurality of hooks 13 towards the knob base 12, and the knob base 12 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 14 penetrating through the front and rear side surfaces of the knob base 12. When assembling, each hook 13 is inserted into the corresponding clamping hole 14, and the end of each hook 13 is provided with a hook portion. After each hook portion passes through the corresponding clamping hole 14, it will hook the rear side surface of the knob base 12, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the knob body 11 and the knob base 12. When it is necessary to detach the knob body 11 from the knob base 12, press the hook portions of all hooks 13 inward, so that the hook portions of each hook 13 are aligned with the clamping hole 14. At this time, move the knob base 12 away from the knob body 11, and the knob body 11 and the knob base 12 can be detached. In this embodiment, the normal direction of the front and rear side surfaces is the clamping direction of the hooks 13 and the clamping holes 14.
[0026] In other embodiments, the knob body 11 and the knob base 12 can also be detachably connected by screwing or other installation methods.
[0027] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the end surface of the knob body 11 towards the knob base 12 is provided with a first groove 15 penetrating through the left and right side surfaces of the knob body 11, and the end surface of the knob base 12 towards the knob body 11 is provided with a second groove 16 penetrating through the left and right side surfaces of the knob base 12. When the knob body 11 is clamped and connected with the knob base 12, referring to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first groove 15 and the second groove 16 are oppositely arranged and form the movable slot 10 described above, and the highlight blade 2 is inserted into the movable slot 10. In this embodiment, the normal direction of the left and right side surfaces is parallel to the length direction of the highlight blade 2.
[0028] In order to avoid the highlight blade 2 from shaking in the movable slot 10 and improve the smoothness of the operation of the highlight blade 2, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the rear side surface of the highlight blade 2 towards the second groove 16 extends a guide portion 22, which is a strip-shaped body arranged along the length direction of the highlight blade 2. The guide portion 22 is inserted into the second groove 16, so that the guide portion 22 can slide along the length direction of the second groove 16. The sliding fit between the guide portion 22 and the second groove 16 can guide the movement of the highlight blade 2 and further limit the sliding of the highlight blade 2, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the operation.
[0029] Further, referring to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the middle part of the front side surface of the highlight blade 2 is provided with a groove 21, and the damping member 3 is placed in the groove 21. In combination with Figure 4In the assembled state, the high-gloss blade 2 is inserted into the movable groove 10 and can slide along the length direction of the movable groove 10. Since the groove 21 is located in the movable groove 10, and the damping member 3 is placed in the groove 21, one end of the damping member 3 abuts against the groove bottom of the groove 21, and the other end of the damping member 3 abuts against the groove wall of the movable groove 10. Since the groove 21 limits the damping member 3, the damping member 3 is fixed relative to the high-gloss blade 2, and the friction generated by the damping member 3 comes from the damping member 3 and the groove wall of the movable groove 10, that is, the friction generated by the damping member 3 comes from the damping member 3 and the knob assembly 1, instead of the friction generated between the damping member 3 and the blade in the prior art, avoiding the problem of slipping between the smooth high-gloss blade 2 and the damping member 3, solving the problem of poor operation feeling caused by uneven friction due to slipping, making the interactive operation feeling of the high-gloss blade 2 good, and enhancing the operation experience of the consumer.
[0030] As a preferred solution, the damping member 3 is in the shape of an I-beam. It can be understood that the side of the damping member 3 facing the groove wall of the movable groove 10 extends outward to form a pair of spaced protrusions, and the side of the damping member 3 facing the groove bottom of the groove 21 also extends outward to form a pair of spaced protrusions. Since the two protrusions are spaced apart, a certain space is left between the two protrusions, which is beneficial to the deformation of the damping member 3 during work, avoiding the problem of jamming of the damping member 3. It can also be understood that the end face of the damping member 3 abutting against the groove wall of the movable groove 10 is provided with a recess, and the end face of the damping member 3 abutting against the groove bottom of the groove 21 is also provided with a recess. The space formed by the two recesses of the upper and lower end faces of the damping member 3 is beneficial to the deformation of the damping member 3 during work, avoiding the problem of jamming of the damping member 3.
[0031] See Figure 3 The groove bottom of the first groove 15 extends a protruding portion 17 toward the second groove 16, and the end face of the damping member 3 extending out of the groove 21 abuts against the protruding portion 17. The setting of the protruding portion 17 facilitates subsequent adjustment of the friction of the damping member 3. The friction coefficient between the damping member 3 and the protruding portion 17 can be changed by changing the surface roughness of the protruding portion 17, so that the groove wall of the entire movable groove 10 does not need to be processed. The thickness of the protruding portion 17 can also be changed to adjust the friction of the damping member 3. The protruding portion 17 can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the damping mounting structure of the embodiment limits the damping piece 3 by opening a groove 21 in the middle of the front side of the high-gloss blade 2, so that the damping piece 3 is in contact with the groove wall of the movable groove 10 of the knob assembly 1 to generate friction, replacing the previous installation mode in which the damping piece 3 generates friction by contacting the blade, avoiding the phenomenon of slipping between the damping piece 3 and the high-gloss blade 2, solving the problem of poor operation feeling caused by uneven friction due to slipping, and the damping mounting structure of the application has the advantages of simple and compact overall structure, good operation feeling when sliding the high-gloss blade 2, and enhanced operation experience of consumers.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that: the air outlet damping mounting structure disclosed by the embodiments of the utility model is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is used to illustrate the technical scheme of the utility model, not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that; it can still modify the technical scheme recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical scheme deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the utility model.
