[0035] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0036] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer parts of the relevant components. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] Air vents can be connected to air ducts to allow air to enter or exit. They must be airtight to prevent air or water leaks that could affect usability. This is especially true when air vents are used in vehicles, where the pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency is increasingly stringent, placing even greater demands on their airtightness. Furthermore, since air vents are exposed, their waterproofing requirements are even higher.

[0039] In related technologies, after the internal intermediate structure of the air vent device is connected to the frame, there are often gaps in the connection, which can lead to problems such as air leakage or water leakage, and thus affect the structural reliability of the air vent device's accessories.

[0040] Therefore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one aspect of this disclosure provides an air vent device, including a frame 1, a sealing mechanism 2, and an intermediate component 3.

[0041] The sealing mechanism 2 is connected to the frame 1, and the intermediate component 3 is connected to the sealing mechanism 2.

[0042] The sealing mechanism 2 includes a first sealing element 21 and a second sealing element 22, which are arranged opposite to each other. The intermediate element 3 is sandwiched between the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22, and the first sealing element 21 is connected to one side of the frame 1.

[0043] Among them, middleware 3 can be a structural component that generates different functions. The specific settings of middleware 3 can be changed as needed, and there are no further restrictions here.

[0044] In the above technical solution, the sealing mechanism 2 can seal the gaps between the intermediate component 3 and the frame 1 and other adjacent connecting structures. The first sealing component 21 and the second sealing component 22 clamp the intermediate component 3. The first sealing component 21, the second sealing component 22, the intermediate component 3 and the frame 1 can exert a squeezing effect on each other, thereby forming a multi-layered structure that is tightly attached to each other, achieving sealing on both sides of the intermediate component 3. This can greatly improve the sealing performance, avoid gaps between the intermediate component 3 and the frame 1 and other adjacent connecting structures, and avoid water or air leakage problems, thereby ensuring the sealing performance and also ensuring the reliability and service life of adjacent structures near the air outlet device.

[0045] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the air vent device further includes a connector 4, which is connected to the side of the second sealing member 22 facing away from the intermediate member 3, so that the second sealing member 22 is clamped between the intermediate member 3 and the connector 4. The connector 4 is used to communicate with the air duct. The connector 4 can press the second sealing member 22 tightly against the intermediate member 3, thereby better achieving the mutual pressing effect of the connector 4, the first sealing member 21, the second sealing member 22, the intermediate member 3, and the frame 1, thus improving the sealing effect.

[0046] It is understandable that the connector 4 is positioned opposite to the frame 1, and the first seal 21, the second seal 22, and the intermediate component 3 are all located between the connector 4 and the frame 1. The connector 4, the second seal 22, the intermediate component 3, the first seal 21, and the frame 1 are all surface-to-surface connected, thus forming a multi-layer compression sealing structure to improve sealing performance. The connector 4 can also connect to related structures in the air duct, enabling airflow guidance.

[0047] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the connector 4 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the connector 4 is used to communicate with the air duct, and the second end of the connector 4 forms a first flange 41. The second sealing member 22 is connected to the first flange 41 surface-to-surface. This arrangement can help increase the contact area between the connector 4 and the second sealing member 22, improve the pressing effect, and enhance the sealing performance.

[0048] The first and second ends of the connector 4 can be located at opposite ends along its length. The first end of the connector 4 connects to the relevant structure of the air duct to guide airflow, while the second end connects to the second sealing element 22 to achieve a compression seal. Simultaneously, the second end of the connector 4 allows for airflow communication and guidance with the intermediate element 3 and the frame 1. In some examples, the first flange 41 at the second end of the connector 4 can be a ring-shaped structure formed by the circumferential edge of the second end of the connector 4 extending outward along the radial direction of the connector 4.

[0049] Optionally, the connector 4 is provided with a flow channel that extends along the length of the connector 4. The flow channel is used to allow air to flow and to guide the airflow. Both the first and second ends of the connector 4 are provided with openings that communicate with the flow channel. Through the openings, air can enter or exit the flow channel to guide the airflow.

[0050] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, both the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 are constructed as annular structures, and the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 are pressed, adhered to, or connected to the circumferential edge of the intermediate element 3. This arrangement ensures airtightness without affecting airflow, thus achieving a guiding function.

[0051] Understandably, the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 extend along the circumferential edge of the intermediate member 3. The first seal 21 and the second seal 22 do not obstruct the central position of the intermediate member 3. The central position of the intermediate member 3 can be used for the passage of air and water. The circumferential edge of the intermediate member 3 is sealed by the first seal 21 and the second seal 22.

[0052] In some examples, the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 may be foam, while in other examples, the first seal 21 and the second seal 22 may be made of materials such as rubber.

[0053] Optionally, in another embodiment of this disclosure, both the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 are constructed as sheet-like structures. Multiple through holes are provided in the middle of the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22, allowing air and water to pass through. The edges of the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 are close to the circumferential edge of the intermediate element 3, such that the middle portions of the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 are positioned opposite to the middle portion of the intermediate element 3. In some examples, the first sealing element 21 and the second sealing element 22 may be foam; in other examples, they may be made of materials such as rubber.

[0054] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the intermediate component 3 is constructed as a filter screen, and a plurality of mesh holes 31 are provided in the middle of the intermediate component 3. By setting the intermediate component 3 as a filter screen, impurities can be filtered out. At the same time, the filter screen can slow down the water flow rate, thereby preventing excessive water flow rate and leakage due to excessive water pressure.

[0055] Alternatively, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the intermediate component 3 may be constructed as a grille, which can also slow down the water flow and partially block debris.

[0056] Among them, the intermediate component 3, the first seal 21, the second seal 22, the frame 1, and the connector 4 can be disassembled, so that the filter or grille can be cleaned.

[0057] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the air vent device further includes an outer appearance component 5, and the frame 1, sealing mechanism 2, and intermediate component 3 are all connected to the outer appearance component 5.

[0058] The exterior component 5 can be connected to the vehicle's hood or other external panels. As a decorative element, it enhances the vehicle's aesthetics and also serves as an air intake or exhaust component. The frame 1, sealing mechanism 2, and intermediate component 3 are all connected to the exterior component 5, making it the main support component. After the exterior component 5 is connected to the hood or other external panels, it secures the frame 1, sealing mechanism 2, and intermediate component 3. Furthermore, the exterior component 5 serves as the connection and fixing point for the frame 1, sealing mechanism 2, and intermediate component 3, improving the clamping effect among them and enhancing the sealing performance.

[0059] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, an assembly part 51 is formed on the side of the outer component 5 facing the frame 1. The frame 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the intermediate component 3 are all provided with connection holes 6. The assembly part 51 passes through the connection holes 6, and the frame 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the intermediate component 3 are all connected to the assembly part 51.

[0060] The assembly part 51 extends towards the frame 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the intermediate part 3. The connecting hole 6 is adapted to the assembly part 51. By inserting the assembly part 51 into the connecting hole 6, the frame 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the intermediate part 3 can be mutually positioned, and the frame 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the intermediate part 3 can be positioned and connected to the outer part 5. This ensures that the frame 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the intermediate part 3 are all connected to the outer part 5, maintaining the same connection and positioning effect, and achieving a tight seal. The connecting part 4 is also provided with a connecting hole 6. The connecting part 4 is connected to the outer part 5 through the cooperation of the connecting hole 6 and the assembly part 51.

[0061] Understandably, the connecting holes 6 on the frame 1, sealing mechanism 2, and intermediate component 3 are interconnected, allowing the assembly part 51 to pass through smoothly. In some examples, after the assembly part 51 passes through the connecting hole 6, the frame 1, sealing mechanism 2, and intermediate component 3 can be welded and fixed to the assembly part 51. In other examples, after the assembly part 51 passes through the connecting hole 6, a latch can be provided to connect with the assembly part 51, fixing the frame 1, sealing mechanism 2, and intermediate component 3 to the assembly part 51, thus achieving connection.

[0062] Optionally, there may be multiple assembly parts 51, which are spaced apart and can be distributed around the axis of the outer part 5. There may be multiple corresponding connecting holes 6, and each connecting hole 6 corresponds to one assembly part 51.

[0063] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the air vent device further includes a first sealing gasket 52, which is sleeved on the outer appearance component 5 and sandwiched between the outer appearance component 5 and the frame 1. The first sealing gasket 52 seals the gap between the outer appearance component 5 and the frame 1, thereby improving the sealing performance between the frame 1 and the outer appearance component 5, and consequently improving the overall sealing performance of the air vent device. In some examples, the first sealing gasket 52 may be made of foam or rubber.

[0064] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the air vent device is configured as an air outlet, and the air vent device further includes an outer appearance component 5. The frame 1, the sealing mechanism 2, and the intermediate component 3 are all connected to the outer appearance component 5, and the outer appearance component 5 is used to connect to the front hood.

[0065] The air outlet device is an air outlet, meaning that air flows from the air duct to the connector 4, then to the intermediate part 3, then to the frame 1, and finally to the exterior part 5, exiting through the exterior part 5. An air outlet can be provided on the front hood, and the exterior part 5 can be connected to the air outlet to achieve the connection and assembly of the exterior part 5 and the front hood.

[0066] Optionally, a second sealing gasket 53 is fitted onto the exterior component 5, and the second sealing gasket 53 is clamped between the exterior component 5 and the front hatch.

[0067] The second sealing gasket 53 seals the gap between the exterior component 5 and the front hood, thereby improving the sealing performance between the exterior component 5 and the front hood, and consequently improving the overall sealing performance of the air vent assembly. In some examples, the second sealing gasket 53 may be made of foam or rubber.

[0068] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, a second flange 54 is formed at the end of the exterior component 5 away from the frame 1. The second flange 54 is used to connect with the front hatch, and a second sealing gasket 53 is clamped between the second flange 54 and the front hatch.

[0069] The second flange 54 can be mounted on the front hood, and an overlapping edge can be provided at the air outlet of the front hood. The second flange 54 is connected to the overlapping edge face-to-face, and the second sealing gasket 53 is disposed between the second flange 54 and the overlapping edge. In some examples, the second flange 54 can be a ring-shaped structure formed by the circumferential edge of the end of the exterior part 5 away from the frame 1 extending outward along the radial direction of the exterior part 5.

[0070] Optionally, the exterior component 5 has an airflow channel that extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle and slopes upwards, with the flow area of ​​the channel gradually increasing along the direction of airflow. This arrangement increases the airflow volume, thereby further reducing wind resistance.

[0071] Optionally, the exterior component 5 is located near the left or right side of the vehicle. That is, the exterior component 5 is positioned on the hood near the front fender.
