Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning vents, and in particular to a structure for a concealed air conditioning vent in a vehicle compartment. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing car air conditioning vents adopt an exposed design, which not only takes up space but also easily accumulates dust, affecting the cleanliness of the car interior and the effectiveness of the air conditioning. In addition, traditional air vents cannot be completely hidden when closed, affecting the overall aesthetics of the car interior.

[0003] Therefore, a concealed air vent structure for the car's air conditioning is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a concealed air vent structure for vehicle air conditioning, thereby resolving the issues raised in the background section.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] The concealed air vent structure for a car air conditioner includes an outer shell and an inner shell. An air inlet is provided on the top surface of the inner shell, and a storage groove is provided inside the outer shell. The outer surface of the inner shell is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the storage groove. An air outlet is provided on the side of the inner shell away from the outer shell. The air outlet includes an upper outlet and a lower outlet. A storage drive component is provided between the side of the inner shell away from the air outlet and the storage groove.

[0007] In a further technical solution, a baffle fixed to the air outlet of the inner shell is provided between the upper opening and the lower opening. An upper air guide plate is provided at the opening of the upper opening, and a lower air guide plate is provided at the opening of the lower opening. The upper air guide plate and the lower air guide plate are rotatably engaged with the inner shell through rotating parts.

[0008] In a further technical solution, rubber strips are provided above and below the air outlet of the inner shell, and the rubber strips are fixedly connected to the inner shell by bolts.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the rubber strip enhances the sealing of the air outlet and prevents air leakage, while the protruding bolts serve to fix the rubber strip and ensure its stability.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the storage drive component includes symmetrically arranged electric telescopic rods, the housing of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage slot, and the telescopic end of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner housing.

[0011] With the above technical solution, when the air conditioner is not working, the electric telescopic rod is in a retracted state, storing the inner shell in the storage slot of the outer shell. At this time, the air outlet is hidden, which does not affect the overall aesthetics of the interior of the car. When the air conditioner needs to be used, the electric telescopic rod extends, pushing the inner shell out of the storage slot, so that the air outlet is exposed.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the rotating component includes a motor, a fixing block is fixedly connected between the surface of the motor and the inner housing, a connecting strip is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor via a shaft, the surface of the connecting strip is fixedly connected to one end face of the upper air guide plate and the lower air guide plate, a rotating bolt is fixedly connected to the other end of the upper air guide plate and the lower air guide plate, a support seat is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating bolt, and one side wall of the support seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner housing.

[0013] With the above technical solution, when in use, the motor rotates, which drives the connecting strip to rotate. The connecting strip drives the upper and lower air guide plates to rotate around the support base, thereby adjusting the air outlet direction.

[0014] In a further technical solution, a sealing gasket fixed to the top surface of the inner housing is provided at the top of the air inlet opening.

[0015] With the above technical solution, when air enters the inner shell from the air inlet, the sealing gasket at the top of the air inlet plays a sealing role.

[0016] In a further technical solution, the opposite sides of the upper and lower rubber strips are both in contact with the inner wall of the storage groove, and the upper and lower air guide plates are both in contact with the rubber strips in a vertical state.

[0017] With the above technical solution, the rubber strip is fixed to the upper and lower air outlets of the inner shell by the protruding bolts. When the inner shell is folded up, the rubber strip fits against the inner wall of the storage groove and the air guide plate, thus achieving a sealing effect.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. By setting the inner shell to be stored inside the outer shell, the air conditioning vents in the vehicle can be hidden. At the same time, with the upper and lower air guide plates, they can be flipped on the air outlet of the inner shell, allowing the airflow direction of the inner shell to be adjusted.

[0020] 2. By setting rubber strips, the upper and lower air guide plates can fit snugly against the rubber strips when placed vertically. This allows the inner shell to be retracted into the outer shell for concealment, thus improving the concealment effect of the air conditioning vents in the vehicle. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Please see Figure 1-6 The concealed air outlet structure of the car air conditioner includes an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 2. An air inlet 3 is provided on the top surface of the inner shell 2. A storage groove 4 is provided inside the outer shell 1. The outer surface of the inner shell 2 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the storage groove 4. An air outlet is provided on the side of the inner shell 2 away from the outer shell 1. The air outlet includes an upper outlet 7 and a lower outlet 8. A storage drive component is provided between the side of the inner shell 2 away from the air outlet and the storage groove 4.

[0034] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 4 It is known that the storage drive component includes symmetrically arranged electric telescopic rods 5. The housing of the electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage slot 4. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner housing 2. A sealing gasket 18 fixed to the top surface of the inner housing 2 is provided at the top of the opening of the air inlet 3.

[0035] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0036] When the car air conditioner needs to be used, the electric telescopic rod 5 is driven to push the inner housing 2 out of the storage slot 4 inside the outer housing 1. After the air outlet of the inner housing 2 extends outside the outer housing 1, the air inlet 3 can connect with the air outlet of the car air conditioner. The sealing gasket 18 is used to keep the air outlet sealed and connected. Then the air conditioner air can be directed from the air outlet of the inner housing 2 to the upper outlet 7 and the lower outlet 8 respectively. In addition, after the inner housing 2 is stored, the air inlet 3 will automatically detach from the air conditioner outlet and enter the storage slot 4 to prevent dust from entering.

[0037] By setting the inner shell 2 to be stored inside the inner wall of the outer shell 1, the air conditioning vent of the vehicle can be hidden. At the same time, with the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10, they can be flipped at the air outlet of the inner shell 2, so that the air direction of the air outlet of the inner shell 2 can be adjusted.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Please see Figure 1-6A baffle 6 is fixed to the air outlet of the inner shell 2 between the upper opening 7 and the lower opening 8, making it easy to distinguish between the upper opening 7 and the lower opening 8, and also facilitating the installation of rotating parts. An upper air guide plate 9 is provided at the opening of the upper opening 7, and a lower air guide plate 10 is provided at the opening of the lower opening 8. The upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10 are rotatably engaged with the inner shell 2 by rotating parts. Rubber strips 17 are provided at the top and bottom of the air outlet of the inner shell 2, and the rubber strips 17 are fixedly connected to the inner shell 2 by bolts 16. The rotating component includes two motors 11. A fixing block 13 is fixedly connected between the surface of the motor 11 and the inner housing 2. A connecting strip 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11 through a shaft. The surfaces of the two connecting strips 12 are fixedly connected to one end face of the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10, respectively. A rotating bolt 15 is fixedly connected to the other end of the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10. A support seat 14 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating bolt 15. One side wall of the support seat 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner housing 2.

[0040] Depend on Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the opposite sides of the upper and lower rubber strips 17 are in contact with the inner wall of the storage groove 4, and the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10 are in contact with the rubber strips 17 in the vertical state.

[0041] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0042] When using the inner casing 2 for air conditioning output, two motors 11 can be driven to rotate the connecting strip 12, causing the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10 to be positioned... Figure 1 In this state, the air blown out from the upper opening 7 and the lower opening 8 can be directed upward and downward respectively. When the air conditioner is not needed, the motor 11 can be driven again before the inner shell 2 is put away, so that the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10 are placed vertically at the air outlet of the inner shell 2. In the vertical state, the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10 are in contact with the rubber strip 17. With the rubber strip 17 in contact with the storage groove 4, the air outlet can be covered when the inner shell 2 is put into the storage groove 4 to prevent dust from entering.

[0043] By setting the rubber strip 17, the upper air guide plate 9 and the lower air guide plate 10 can fit together with the rubber strip 17 when placed vertically. When the inner shell 2 is retracted into the outer shell 1 for concealment, it can seal and fit the inner wall of the storage groove 4, thereby improving the concealment effect of the air conditioning vent in the car.

[0044] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
