Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to automotive parts, specifically to a floating air vent toggle assembly and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] Car air vents are interior components and an essential part of the air conditioning system. By blowing fresh air and hot or cold air through the vents, they regulate the temperature inside the vehicle. To further enhance user comfort, air vents are equipped with mechanisms to adjust airflow direction or volume. Currently, the most common type of car air conditioning vent is the grille type, which typically uses a knob on the horizontal blades to adjust the airflow direction. This adjustment mechanism, using a fork-like adjustment structure for the horizontal blades and a connecting rod for the vertical blades, allows for airflow direction adjustment. Moving the knob up or down causes the fork to slide against the slide rail of the vertical blades, changing the airflow direction without altering the angle of the vertical blades. Moving the knob left or right causes the fork to swing the vertical blades left or right, also changing the airflow direction. However, the existing knob structure is complex and protrudes noticeably from the air vent, resulting in an aesthetically unappealing design.

[0003] CN221233432U discloses a toggle structure for a floating automotive air vent, including front blades, a toggle body structure connected to the front end of the toggle button on the front blades, and a toggle fork structure connected to the rear end of the toggle button on the front blades. The toggle body structure includes a toggle cover, a toggle cap, and a toggle body, which is inserted inside the front blades. The toggle fork structure includes a toggle fork base structure and a toggle fork body structure. The toggle body is connected to the toggle fork base structure, and the toggle fork base structure is connected to the toggle fork body structure. The toggle cap is connected to the toggle body by screws. This floating toggle and floating front blades can improve the aesthetics of the entire air vent and meet consumers' demand for novelty. Undoubtedly, the technical solution disclosed in the above patent document is a beneficial attempt in its respective technical field; however, its structure is relatively complex and prone to scratching and damaging the blades.

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1-10As shown, a suspended air outlet toggle assembly in this embodiment includes an air guide component 1, and a blade toggle 2, a toggle base 3, and a toggle fork 4 connected sequentially from back to front. The air guide component 1 has a through groove 11 running through the front-back direction. The blade toggle 2 and the toggle base 3 both extend into the through groove 11. The through groove 11 has a partition slide 12. The blade toggle 2 includes a toggle body 21 and a plurality of protrusions 22 that slide with the partition slide 12. The plurality of protrusions 22 are spaced apart and all protrude forward from the toggle body 21.

[0040] The blade toggle 2 is made of high heat-resistant ABS+PC material, the toggle base 3 is made of POM material, and the toggle fork 4 is made of two-color injection molding process.

[0041] When the blade knob 2 is moved up and down, the knob base 3 and the air guide component 1 also rotate. In this embodiment, the blades of the air guide component 1 are horizontal, thereby changing the up and down wind direction. The fork 4 is connected to the vertical blades behind the air guide component 1. The fork 4 and the knob base 3 can rotate relative to each other, so the angle of the vertical blades is not affected when the blade knob 2 is moved up and down. When the blade knob 2 is moved left and right, the blade knob 2 and the knob base 3 slide in the left and right direction, which can drive the vertical blades to rotate through the fork 4, thereby changing the left and right wind direction. Since the blade knob 2 and the knob base 3 can slide left and right relative to the air guide component 1, the angle of the blades of the air guide component 1 is not affected.

[0042] A through groove 11 is formed by the air guide component 1, and the blade knob 2 and knob base 3 are slidably installed in the through groove 11. The structure is simple and not only ensures that the blade knob 2 and knob base 3 move smoothly and stably, but also realizes a new floating style. It breaks through the consistent style of the traditional grille-type car air conditioning vent with horizontal blade knobs. Its floating arrangement has the advantages of novel shape and reliable structure. The movement of the blade knob 2 and knob base 3 will not affect the outer surface of the air guide component 1. The outer surface of the air guide component 1 can be surface treated, and can be designed in the form of spraying, etc., leaving a lot of room for the design of CMF (CMF stands for Colour, Material and Finish, which refers to color, material and surface treatment process in the field of product design).

[0043] The blade toggle 2 is inserted into the through slot 11 from back to front, and the toggle base 3 is inserted into the through slot 11 from front to back. Simultaneously, the front side of the blade toggle 2 is connected to the rear side of the toggle base 3. The separating slide 12 is located between the blade toggle 2 and the toggle base 3, serving to separate, limit, and guide the bosses 22 during sliding. Multiple bosses 22 slide in engagement with the separating slide 12, reducing the contact area and preventing the air guide component 1 from being scratched or damaged. Preferably, the side of the bosses 22 facing the separating slide 12 has a rounded surface structure to further prevent the air guide component 1 from being scratched or damaged.

[0044] In this embodiment, the air guide component 1 includes an upper blade 13 and a lower blade 14, and the through groove 11 is formed between the upper blade 13 and the lower blade 14; the partition slide 12 includes two slide bodies, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the upper blade 13 and the lower blade 14.

[0045] Traditional toggle switches are fixed to one of the blades. However, in this embodiment, a through groove 11 is formed by the upper blade 13 and the lower blade 14, allowing the blade toggle switch 2 and the switch base 3 to slide between the upper blade 13 and the lower blade 14, achieving a new floating style. The slide body contacts the boss 22, and the slide body can serve as a slide rail for the boss 22, playing a role in separation, limiting, and guiding the boss 22 during sliding.

[0046] In this embodiment, the blade dial 2 further includes two first lugs 23, which are located on the left and right sides of the front of the dial body 21, respectively; the dial base 3 includes a base body 31, and the left and right sides of the base body 31 are respectively provided with base locking parts 32 that are connected to the first lugs 23.

[0047] By connecting the first lug 23 to the base mounting part 32 on the base body 31 through the snap-fit ​​hole, the blade knob 2 and the knob base 3 can be fixedly connected, so that the two can move synchronously.

[0048] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped rib 33 is provided on the rear side of the base body 31, and the arc-shaped rib 33 abuts against the front surface of the slide body.

[0049] The arc-shaped rib 33 also forms a sliding fit with the slide body. The arc-shaped rib 33 and the boss 22 abut against the front and rear sides of the slide body respectively to ensure stability during sliding.

[0050] In this embodiment, the inside of the toggle body 21 is provided with a first cavity 24; a limiting seat 15 is provided in the middle of the through groove 11, and the limiting seat 15 is connected to the two slide bodies; the toggle base 3 also includes two limiting pillars 34 provided on the base body 31, and the two limiting pillars 34 protrude rearward from the base body 31; the limiting seat 15 and the limiting pillars 34 both extend into the first cavity 24, and the two limiting pillars 34 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the limiting seat 15, and the limiting seat 15 is provided with a limiting groove 16 that can conformally fit with the limiting pillar 34.

[0051] When the blade knob 2 and knob base 3 slide left and right, the limiting support 34 is located in the through groove 11. The limiting support 34 and the limiting seat 15 cooperate to limit the left and right sliding stroke. During the leftward sliding, when the right limiting support 34 is in contact with the right limiting groove 16 of the limiting groove 16, it can prevent the blade knob 2 and knob base 3 from continuing to slide to the left; during the rightward sliding, when the left limiting support 34 is in contact with the left limiting groove 16 of the limiting groove 16, it can prevent the blade knob 2 and knob base 3 from continuing to slide to the right.

[0052] In this embodiment, mounting grooves 35 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the base body 31, and damping blocks 5 are provided on the mounting grooves 35. The damping blocks 5 are used to contact the upper blade 13 or the lower blade 14. After the damping blocks 5 contact the upper blade 13 or the lower blade 14, the remaining positions of the base body 31 and the blade knob 2 maintain a certain distance from the upper blade 13 or the lower blade 14, thereby preventing scratch damage to the surface of the upper blade 13 or the lower blade 14.

[0053] In this embodiment, the toggle base 3 further includes two second lugs 36, which are located on the left and right sides of the front side of the base body 31, respectively; the toggle fork 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 41 that is rotatably connected to the second lugs 36; the base body 31 is provided with an arc-shaped groove seat 37, and the toggle fork 4 is provided with an arc-shaped rotation limiting groove 42 that cooperates with the arc-shaped groove seat 37.

[0054] The axis of the rotating shaft 41 runs along the left-right direction, allowing the shift fork 4 to rotate up and down relative to the knob base 3. The shift fork 4 is connected to the vertical blades behind the air guide component 1. When the blade knob 2 is moved up and down, the angle of the vertical blades is not affected. The arc-shaped rotation limiting groove 42 is used to limit the relative rotation angle between the shift fork 4 and the knob base 3, preventing it from disengaging or locking up due to excessive rotation angle during rotation.

[0055] In this embodiment, a toggle knob trim 6 is also included. The toggle knob trim 6 has a second cavity 61 inside, and a snap-fit ​​groove 62 is provided within the second cavity 61. The blade toggle knob 2 also includes a snap-fit ​​member 25 disposed on the rear side of the toggle knob body 21, and the snap-fit ​​groove 62 is connected to the snap-fit ​​member 25. The toggle knob trim 6 is also made of high heat-resistant ABS+PC material. The toggle knob trim 6 further enhances the appearance quality.

[0056] In this embodiment, a insert 63 is provided inside the second cavity 61, and the blade knob 2 further includes a connector 26 disposed on the rear side of the knob body 21. The connector 26 is provided with a slot, the connector 26 is inserted into the second cavity 61, and the insert 63 is inserted into the slot. This double-insertion connection method ensures the reliability of the positioning connection.

[0057] One type of vehicle in this embodiment includes the aforementioned floating air vent toggle assembly.
