They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a single-axis electric automotive air vent, comprising:

[0037] Positioning plate 1 is positioned on the side wall of the mounting opening on the center console of the car.

[0038] The positioning box 2 is rotatably mounted on the positioning plate 1 via a rotating shaft 21 on its side.

[0039] The cover plate 3 is assembled on the positioning box 2 and is used to cooperate with the rotation of the positioning box 2 to block or open the installation port;

[0040] The driving mechanism 4 includes a transmission component 41 that drives rotation and is disposed at the bottom of the positioning box 2, a transmission gear 42 disposed at both ends of the transmission component 41, and a toothed gear 43 positioned on the side of the positioning box 2. The transmission gear 42 and the toothed gear 43 are meshed and connected.

[0041] The guide vane assembly, which is positioned within the positioning box 2, includes a transverse vane assembly 5 and a longitudinal vane assembly 6. The transverse vane assembly 5 is provided with transverse vanes 52, and the longitudinal vane assembly 6 is provided with longitudinal vanes 62.

[0042] This embodiment features a rotatable mounting design between the air vent assembly and the mounting port on the car's center console. This allows for electric adjustment of the orientation of the horizontal blades on the air vent assembly. Furthermore, this single-axis electric design enables the air vent assembly to rotate as a whole and seal the mounting port with a cover when not in use for ventilation. This isolates the air vent assembly and the air supply system within the center console from the vehicle's interior environment, preventing dust accumulation and thus reducing airflow quality, while also maintaining the aesthetics of the center console.

[0043] The cover plate 3 has an L-shaped structure, with an opening 31 on one end face that connects to the inner cavity of the positioning box 2. Several inserts 32 extending in the same direction are provided on it. The inserts 32 are inserted into the kit 22 on the surface of the positioning box 2. The first wedge-shaped locking block 23 on the rear side of the kit 22 engages with the locking slot 33 on the insert 32.

[0044] When assembling the positioning box 2 and the cover plate 3, align the opening 31 with the side of the positioning box 2 facing the inside of the vehicle, insert the plug 32 into the kit 22 and continue to assemble, and snap it onto the first wedge-shaped block 23 through the bayonet 33.

[0045] One end of the transmission component 41 is connected to the drive motor 44, and the other end is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 1 and the mounting port to ensure transmission stability.

[0046] The transverse blade assembly 5 includes at least one support 51 and at least one transverse blade 52 positioned within the support 51.

[0047] The orientation adjustment of the transverse blade 52 can be achieved not only through the rotation of the drive mechanism 4, but also through the following structural design: the bracket 51 is rotatably connected to the positioning blocks 50 on both sides via a coupling, and the positioning blocks 50 are inserted and snapped into the mounting boxes 24 on both sides of the positioning box body 2. Compared with the common transverse blade rotation design on air outlet assemblies, in this embodiment, the transverse blade 52 is positioned on the bracket 51, and by rotating the bracket 51, its orientation is adjusted synchronously, thereby improving structural stability.

[0048] The longitudinal blade assembly 6 includes a positioning seat 61, a plurality of longitudinal blades 62, and a linkage comb tooth component 63 associated with the longitudinal blades 62. A central connecting shaft of each longitudinal blade 62 is rotatably connected to a groove in the positioning seat 61. The sides of each longitudinal blade 62 are rotatably connected to the comb teeth of the linkage comb tooth component 63 via connecting seats. The positioning seat 61 is also provided with a raised rib 67 that abuts against and limits the bottom edge of the Z-shaped longitudinal blades 62. This achieves linkage between the longitudinal blades 62; driving a single longitudinal blade 62 to rotate synchronously drives the other longitudinal blades 62 to rotate, achieving overall orientation adjustment. The raised rib 67 limits the rotation range of the longitudinal blades 62, ensuring stable airflow.

[0049] The second wedge-shaped locking block 66 on the outer side of the positioning seat 61 engages with the locking groove 25 on the inner wall of the positioning box 2. This design improves the assembly strength of the longitudinal blade assembly 6 within the positioning box 2.

[0050] This air outlet assembly uses a snap-fit ​​design, which is more efficient than the more common bolt fixing method.

[0051] In this embodiment, the transverse blade assembly 5 and the longitudinal blade assembly 6 adopt a linkage design. Specifically, the longitudinal blade 62 is provided with a notch 64, and an hourglass-shaped transmission rod 65 is vertically arranged in the notch 64. A toggle block 53 is slidably arranged on the transverse blade 52, and a gripper 54 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the toggle block 53. The gripper 54 clamps the transmission rod 65.

[0052] The working principle of a single-axis electric vehicle air vent in this embodiment includes: Figure 1 , 2 As shown, before use, the cover plate 3 is sealed on the mounting port of the center console. During use, the switch on the center console starts the drive motor 44, which drives the transmission component 41 to rotate, causing the toothed gear 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the positioning box 2 and the cover plate 3 to rotate, opening the mounting port for ventilation of the air outlet assembly. During this process, the horizontal blade 52 can be adjusted by pressing the outer side of the horizontal blade 52 and the toggle block 53, or by driving the positioning box 2 to rotate through the drive mechanism 4. The gripper 54 can be pushed laterally by pushing the toggle block 53. A single longitudinal blade 62 is moved, and through the linkage comb tooth 63, other longitudinal blades 62 are driven to rotate. When the transverse blades 52 are in different tilt states, the rotation design of the actuating block 53 and the gripper 54, and the hourglass structure of the transmission rod 41, ensure that the gripper 54 and the transmission rod 41 are always stably clamped and connected, thereby ensuring the transmission efficiency of the two blade assemblies. After use, the cover plate 3 is rotated by the drive mechanism 4 to reseal the installation port, thereby realizing the dustproof and pollution-proof function of the air outlet assembly, improving the ventilation quality and the aesthetics of the center console.

[0053] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the single-axis electric vehicle air vent of this embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0054] This embodiment features a rotatable mounting design between the air vent assembly and the mounting port on the car's center console. This allows for electric adjustment of the orientation of the horizontal blades on the air vent assembly. Furthermore, this single-axis electric design enables the air vent assembly to rotate as a whole and seal the mounting port with a cover when not in use for ventilation. This isolates the air vent assembly and the air supply system within the center console from the vehicle's interior environment, preventing dust accumulation and thus reducing airflow quality, while also maintaining the aesthetics of the center console.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
