[0004] However, due to the poor air quality inside the vehicle, various impurities of different sizes are directly adsorbed onto the filter screen of this air return grille device, affecting the filtration speed and thus making the filter screen more frequently need cleaning.

[0005] The period is relatively short.

[0006] To address this issue, a filter-type return air grille for automotive air conditioning is proposed, which offers advantages such as easy filter cleaning and extended filter cleaning cycles, thereby resolving the problems mentioned in the background technology. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a filter-type return air grille for automotive air conditioning.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a car air conditioning filter return air grille, comprising a return air grille frame, a vent opening on the surface of the return air grille frame, a filter screen installed inside the vent opening, a grille plate above the filter screen, the grille plate being inside the vent opening, a clip integrally formed on the side of the grille plate, a snap-fit ​​part integrally formed at the bottom of the clip, and an arc protrusion on the snap-fit ​​part, a slot is provided on the inner side of the vent opening, the arc protrusion of the snap-fit ​​part engaging with the slot, and several telescopic rubber frames are adhered to the side of the grille plate facing the filter screen, and a spring is embedded in the inner side of each telescopic rubber frame.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the surface of the grating plate is provided with a rectangular opening, and a number of louvers are installed at equal intervals in the rectangular opening.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the cross-section of the telescopic rubber frame is a rectangular frame structure, and wavy pleats are provided on the left and right sides of the telescopic rubber frame respectively.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the snap-fit ​​part of the card is a U-shaped structure, and the arc protrusion of the snap-fit ​​part is a hemispherical structure.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: two clips are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the grille, and several slots are opened on the inner side of the ventilation opening corresponding to the clips.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the inner side of the rectangular opening of the grille is provided with a number of connecting grooves, and each of the louvers has a cylinder at both ends that is connected to the connecting groove.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an automotive air conditioning filter return air grille is provided.

[0023] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, an automotive air conditioning filter return air grille according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a return air grille frame 1. The surface of the return air grille frame 1 is provided with a ventilation opening 2, and a filter screen 6 is installed inside the ventilation opening 2. A grille plate 3 is provided above the filter screen 6, and the grille plate 3 is located inside the ventilation opening 2. A clip 5 is integrally formed on the side of the grille plate 3, and a snap-fit ​​part 8 is integrally formed at the bottom of the clip 5. An arc protrusion 10 is provided on the snap-fit ​​part 8 of the clip 5. A slot 9 is provided on the inner side of the ventilation opening 2. The arc protrusion 10 of the snap-fit ​​part 8 snaps into the slot 9. Several telescopic rubber frames 7 are glued to the side of the grille plate 3 facing the filter screen 6, and a spring 11 is embedded in the inner side of each telescopic rubber frame 7. In order to ensure the reliability of the filter screen 6 installation, the filter screen 6 is kept in contact with the lower part of the inner side of the ventilation opening 2. The vibration of the filter screen 6 is based on the air volume at the ventilation opening 2 and the intermittent airflow process.

[0024] In one embodiment, the surface of the grille 3 has a rectangular opening, and a plurality of louvers 4 are installed equidistantly in the rectangular opening. The louvers 4 enable the grille 3 to have a ventilation effect and make it easy to adjust the airflow direction.

[0025] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the telescopic rubber frame 7 is a rectangular frame structure, and wavy pleats are provided on the left and right sides of the telescopic rubber frame 7.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] In use, a grille plate 3, which is connected to the filter screen 6, is snapped onto the ventilation opening 2 of the return air grille frame 1. When the grille plate 3 is removed, by pulling the grille plate 3 inside the ventilation opening 2, the U-shaped snap-fit ​​part 8 integrally formed on the snap-fit ​​part 5 is deformed under force, so that the arc protrusion 10 on the surface of the snap-fit ​​part 8 is disengaged from the snap-fit ​​state of the snap-fit ​​groove 9 inside the ventilation opening 2, realizing the quick removal of the grille plate 3 and facilitating the cleaning of the filter screen 6 inside the ventilation opening 2. At the same time, since the grille plate 3 is provided with several telescopic rubber frames 7 that contact the edge of the filter screen 6, and each telescopic rubber frame 7 is embedded with a spring 11, the grille plate 3 and the filter screen 6 are elastically connected. As air continuously passes through the ventilation opening 2 of the return air grille frame 1, a certain pushing force is applied to the filter screen 6, causing the filter screen 6 to vibrate during the adaptive extension and contraction phase of the telescopic rubber frame 7. Combined with the wavy pleats on the side of the telescopic rubber frame 7, it is easy to self-clean the impurities on the surface of the filter screen 6, thereby helping to extend the cleaning cycle of the filter screen 6.
