Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and in particular to an air conditioning outlet structure and a vehicle having the air conditioning outlet structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of living standards, vehicles are becoming increasingly important in daily life and travel. The aesthetics and user experience of vehicles are aspects that need to be carefully considered during vehicle manufacturing. To improve the user experience, existing vehicles have air vents on the dashboard that open towards the passenger side to regulate the temperature in that area. However, the airflow at the vent's outlet experiences a suction effect, which prevents the vent from adjusting the airflow direction vertically. When the vent blows upwards, the airflow is sucked up by the lower surface of the vent, preventing it from blowing upwards; conversely, when the vent blows downwards, the airflow is sucked up by the upper surface, preventing it from blowing downwards. This negatively impacts the user experience and indicates room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0035] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 The air conditioner outlet structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is simple in structure, ensures user comfort, reduces the adsorption effect of airflow at the outlet 13, ensures the reliability of the airflow direction, and improves the user experience.
[0036] like Figures 1-3As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioning outlet structure 100 is formed on the instrument panel assembly. The air conditioning outlet structure 100 includes: a first housing 101 and a second housing 102.
[0037] An air inlet 11, an air outlet duct 12, and an air outlet 13 are formed between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. The air outlet 13 is open to the interior of the vehicle. The air inlet 11 is adapted to deliver airflow to the air outlet 13 through the air outlet duct 12. At least one of the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 has a stepped surface 23 formed at the air outlet 13.
[0038] The instrument panel assembly includes the instrument panel body, glove box, decorative panel, and instrument cluster cover. The instrument panel body is located on the instrument panel system at the front of the vehicle's cockpit and is an important part of the instrument panel system. It not only provides the mounting structure for the various components on the instrument panel, but also has functions such as decoration, sound insulation and vibration reduction, ensuring driving comfort and user experience. The air conditioning vent structure 100 can be set inside the instrument panel assembly.
[0039] Specifically, the air conditioning vent structure 100 is provided with a first housing 101 and a second housing 102. Both the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 can be components of the instrument panel assembly. That is, both the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 are located at the front of the vehicle's driver's cabin. The instrument panel assembly can be configured as a housing structure, with an installation space inside for installing vehicle parts, etc., and a storage compartment or other structure can be provided above the instrument panel assembly to facilitate users placing items above the instrument panel assembly and improve the user experience.
[0040] In addition, an air inlet 11, an air outlet duct 12, and an air outlet 13 are formed between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. The air inlet 11 and the air outlet 13 can be distributed at intervals along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the air outlet duct 12 connects the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 13. That is, the air outlet duct 12 can be set to extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and one end of the air outlet duct 12 is connected to the air inlet 11 and the other end is connected to the air outlet 13, so that the airflow entering the air inlet 11 can flow into the air outlet duct 12 and then flow to the air outlet 13 through the air outlet duct 12. That is, the air inlet 11 can deliver airflow to the air outlet 13 through the air outlet duct 12.
[0041] Furthermore, the air vent 13 is open towards the interior of the vehicle, allowing the airflow delivered from the air inlet 11 to the air vent 13 via the air outlet duct 12 to be directed towards the interior of the vehicle, thereby ensuring user comfort. The air inlet 11 can be connected to the air conditioning duct of the vehicle's air conditioning system, allowing the vehicle's air conditioning system to deliver cooled or heated airflow to the air outlet duct 12 via the air inlet 11. The air outlet duct 12 is also connected to the air vent 13, allowing the air outlet duct 12 to deliver air to the air vent 13, thereby delivering air to the passenger seat via the air vent 13.
[0042] Preferably, the air vent 13 can be configured to open towards the passenger seat.
[0043] When the interior temperature is low, the air conditioning system can deliver heated airflow to the air inlet 11 through the air conditioning pipes, and then deliver it to the air outlet 13 through the air outlet 12, and finally deliver it into the vehicle interior through the air outlet 13 to increase the interior temperature. When the interior temperature is high, the air conditioning system can deliver cooled airflow to the air inlet 11 through the air conditioning pipes, and then deliver it to the air outlet 13 through the air outlet 12, and finally deliver it into the vehicle interior through the air outlet 13 to decrease the interior temperature, thus meeting the needs of different users and improving user comfort.
[0044] Furthermore, a stepped surface 23 is formed at the air outlet 13. The stepped surface 23 can be provided on the upper inner wall of the air outlet 13, or on the lower inner wall of the air outlet 13, or on both the upper and lower inner walls of the air outlet 13.
[0045] Thus, the step surface 23 formed at the air outlet 13 can prevent the airflow from adhering tightly to the instrument panel body 1 under the effect of adsorption when it flows to the outside of the air outlet 13. This can prevent the airflow from being adsorbed by the lower inner wall of the air outlet 13 when the air outlet 13 blows upward, and can also prevent the airflow from being adsorbed by the upper inner wall of the air outlet 13 when the air outlet 13 blows downward. This allows the airflow to flow as needed, ensuring the reliability of the air outlet direction, improving the user experience. Moreover, the structure of the step surface 23 is simple and the installation cost is low, which can ensure the production cost of the vehicle.
[0046] According to the air conditioning outlet structure 100 of this utility model embodiment, the air inlet 11 can deliver airflow to the air outlet 13 through the air outlet duct 12, so as to deliver airflow into the vehicle interior through the air outlet 13, ensuring user comfort. In addition, a stepped surface 23 is formed at the air outlet 13, which can reduce the adsorption effect of the airflow at the air outlet 13, so that the airflow flows as needed, ensuring the reliability of the air outlet direction, improving the user experience. The structure is simple, the installation cost is low, the use effect is better, and the application range is wider.
[0047] In some embodiments, the first housing 101 and / or the second housing 102 are provided with a decorative panel 2, which defines an air outlet 13, and a stepped surface 23 is formed on the decorative panel 2.
[0048] Specifically, an air outlet 13 is formed between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the air outlet 13 is located on the side of the air conditioning outlet structure 100 near the vehicle interior. The airflow in the air outlet duct 12 can flow towards the vehicle interior through the air outlet 13. The first housing 101 and / or the second housing 102 are provided with decorative panels 2. The decorative panels 2 can be provided only in the first housing 101, only in the second housing 102, or both the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 can be provided with decorative panels 2.
[0049] Furthermore, the decorative panel 2 is configured as a plate-like structure, which can be connected to the first housing 101 and / or the second housing 102 via connectors 3, etc. The decorative panel 2 can define an air outlet 13, that is, the airflow in the air outlet duct 12 can flow toward the decorative panel 2, and then flow toward the interior of the vehicle through the air outlet 13 defined by the decorative panel 2. The decorative panel 2 can also cover the air outlet 13, so that the air outlet 13 can be hidden when the user is sitting inside the vehicle, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air conditioning outlet structure 100 and improving the user's riding experience.
[0050] Furthermore, the stepped surface 23 is formed on the decorative panel 2, so that the inner wall of the air outlet 13 has a surface difference in the air outlet direction. That is, when the airflow flows through the air outlet duct 12 to the decorative panel 2, the stepped surface 23 of the decorative panel 2 can form a surface difference, which can prevent the airflow from still sticking to the instrument panel body 1 after flowing through the decorative panel 2 under the action of adsorption effect.
[0051] In this way, when the air outlet 13 blows upward, the airflow is prevented from being absorbed by the decorative panel 2 located below the air outlet 13, and when the air outlet 13 blows downward, the airflow is prevented from being absorbed by the decorative panel 2 located above the air outlet 13. This allows the airflow to flow as needed, ensuring the reliability of the airflow direction, improving the user experience. In addition, the structure of the stepped surface 23 is simple and the installation cost is low, which can ensure the production cost of the vehicle.
[0052] In some embodiments, the decorative panel 2 includes a first sub-panel 21 disposed on the first housing 101 and a second sub-panel 22 disposed on the second housing 102. The first sub-panel 21 and the second sub-panel 22 together define an air outlet 13. At least one of the first sub-panel 21 and the second sub-panel 22 is provided with a stepped surface 23.
[0053] Specifically, the first housing 101 and / or the second housing 102 are provided with decorative panels 2 to define the air outlet 13, and as... Figure 1As shown, the decorative panel 2 includes a first sub-panel 21 disposed on the first housing 101 and a second sub-panel 22 disposed on the second housing 102. The first sub-panel 21 and the second sub-panel 22 can be arranged sequentially in the vertical direction, or the second sub-panel 22 and the first sub-panel 21 can be arranged sequentially in the vertical direction, which is flexible in terms of arrangement. The first sub-panel 21 and the second sub-panel 22 together define the air outlet 13, so that the airflow flowing to the decorative panel 2 can flow towards the interior of the vehicle, ensuring the reliability of use.
[0054] Furthermore, at least one of the first sub-plate 21 and the second sub-plate 22 is provided with a stepped surface 23. This means that the stepped surface 23 can be provided only on the first sub-plate 21, or only on the second sub-plate 22, or both the first sub-plate 21 and the second sub-plate 22 can be provided with stepped surfaces 23. In this embodiment, both the first sub-plate 21 and the second sub-plate 22 are provided with stepped surfaces 23. The first sub-plate 21 and the second sub-plate 22 are located on the upper and lower sides of the air outlet 13, respectively. That is, the upper and lower inner walls of the air outlet 13 are both formed with stepped surfaces 23. This can prevent the airflow from being absorbed by the upper or lower inner wall of the air outlet 13 when it flows to the air outlet 13, so that the airflow can flow as needed, ensuring the reliability of the air outlet direction and improving the user experience.
[0055] In some embodiments, the air conditioning outlet structure 100 further includes a diversion housing 103, which is disposed between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. The outlet air duct 12 includes a first air duct 121 and a second air duct 122. The first housing 101 and the diversion housing 103 together define the first air duct 121, and the second housing 102 and the diversion housing 103 together define the second air duct 122. The first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 are respectively connected between the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 13. The airflow in the first air duct 121 is adapted to be discharged along the first sub-plate 21, and the airflow in the second air duct 122 is adapted to be discharged along the second sub-plate 22.
[0056] Specifically, the air conditioning outlet structure 100 also includes a splitter housing 103, which can also be a component of the instrument panel assembly. The splitter housing 103 is located between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102. Airflow at the air inlet 11 can flow through the air outlet duct 12 to the air outlet 13. Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet duct 12 is provided with a first air duct 121 and a second air duct 122. The first housing 101 and the diversion housing 103 jointly define the first air duct 121, and the second housing 102 and the diversion housing 103 jointly define the second air duct 122.
[0057] The first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 are respectively connected between the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 13. That is, one end of the first air duct 121 is connected to the air inlet 11 and the other end is connected to the air outlet 13, and one end of the second air duct 122 is connected to the air inlet 11 and the other end is also connected to the air outlet 13. Thus, the airflow flowing to the air inlet 11 can flow to the air outlet 13 through the first air duct 121 alone, or through the second air duct 122 alone, or through both the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122.
[0058] Furthermore, the airflow in the first air duct 121 is suitable for being discharged along the first sub-plate 21. That is, the first sub-plate 21 can be set at the outlet end of the first air duct 121 and connected to the outlet end of the first air duct 121, so that the airflow flowing along the first air duct 121 can continue to flow along the first sub-plate 21. The first sub-plate 21 has a stepped surface 23, which can prevent the airflow from being adsorbed on the first sub-plate 21 and ensure the reliability of the airflow outflow direction in the first air duct 121.
[0059] In addition, the airflow in the second air duct 122 is suitable for being discharged along the second sub-plate 22. That is, the second sub-plate 22 can be set at the outlet end of the second air duct 122 and connected to the outlet end of the second air duct 122, so that the airflow flowing along the second air duct 122 can continue to flow along the second sub-plate 22. The second sub-plate 22 has a stepped surface 23, which can prevent the airflow from being adsorbed on the second sub-plate 22 and ensure the reliability of the airflow outflow direction in the second air duct 122.
[0060] In some embodiments, there is an angle between the air outlet direction of the first air duct 121 and the air outlet direction of the second air duct 122.
[0061] Specifically, the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 are connected between the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 13. Airflow in the first air duct 121 can be discharged along the first sub-plate 21, and airflow in the second air duct 122 can be discharged along the second sub-plate 22. The first sub-plate 21 and the second sub-plate 22 are spaced apart vertically, that is, the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 are spaced apart vertically. Figures 1-2 As shown, there is an angle between the air outlet direction of the first air duct 121 and the air outlet direction of the second air duct 122, that is, the air outlet directions of the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 are set to be different.
[0062] Furthermore, the first air duct 121 can be configured to discharge air upwards, and the second air duct 122 can be configured to discharge air downwards. Alternatively, the second air duct 122 can be configured to discharge air upwards, and the first air duct 121 can be configured to discharge air downwards. In this embodiment, the first air duct 121 is configured to discharge air downwards, and the second air duct 122 is configured to discharge air upwards, thereby expanding the air outlet area of the air outlet 13, meeting the user's needs for blowing air to different parts, and improving the user experience.
[0063] Furthermore, the airflow in the first air duct 121 can be discharged along the first sub-plate 21. The first sub-plate 21 is located above the air outlet 13. The first sub-plate 21 has a stepped surface 23, which can prevent the airflow in the first air duct 121 from flowing upward along the first sub-plate 21, so as to ensure that the airflow in the first air duct 121 flows downward, thereby ensuring that the airflow in the first air duct 121 flows as needed.
[0064] In addition, the airflow in the second air duct 122 can be discharged along the second sub-plate 22. The second sub-plate 22 is located below the air outlet 13. The second sub-plate 22 has a stepped surface 23, which can prevent the airflow in the second air duct 122 from flowing downward along the second sub-plate 22, so as to ensure that the airflow in the second air duct 122 flows upward, and thus ensure that the airflow in the second air duct 122 flows as needed.
[0065] In other embodiments, the air outlet direction of the first air duct 121 is inclined downward relative to the horizontal direction.
[0066] Specifically, the airflow at the air inlet 11 can flow to the air outlet 13 through the first air duct 121, and as... Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet direction of the first air duct 121 is inclined downward relative to the horizontal direction. That is, when the airflow flows along the first air duct 121 to the air outlet 13, it can flow downward, thereby blowing air to the lower part of the vehicle interior to ensure cooling or heating of the user's legs, meeting different usage needs and improving the user experience.
[0067] Furthermore, the first air duct 121 is connected to the first sub-plate 21, allowing the airflow in the first air duct 121 to be discharged along the first sub-plate 21. The first sub-plate 21 has a stepped surface 23, which can prevent the airflow in the first air duct 121 from flowing upward along the first sub-plate 21 under the adsorption effect, so as to ensure that the airflow in the first air duct 121 flows as needed and improves the reliability of use.
[0068] In other embodiments, the air outlet direction of the second air duct 122 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal direction.
[0069] Specifically, the airflow at the air inlet 11 can flow to the air outlet 13 through the second air duct 122, and as... Figure 1As shown, the air outlet direction of the second air duct 122 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal direction. That is, when the airflow flows along the second air duct 122 to the air outlet 13, it can flow upward, thereby blowing air onto the upper part of the vehicle interior to ensure cooling or heating of the user's upper body, meeting different usage needs and improving the user experience.
[0070] Furthermore, the second air duct 122 is connected to the second sub-plate 22, allowing the airflow in the second air duct 122 to be discharged along the second sub-plate 22. The second sub-plate 22 has a stepped surface 23, which can prevent the airflow in the second air duct 122 from flowing downward along the second sub-plate 22 under the adsorption effect, so as to ensure that the airflow in the second air duct 122 flows as needed and improves the reliability of use.
[0071] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the first housing 101 includes a first inner wall region 1011 and a second inner wall region 1012 distributed along the air outlet direction. The stepped surface 23 connects the first inner wall region 1011 and the second inner wall region 1012. The angle between the airflow direction of the first inner wall region 1011 and the airflow direction of the second inner wall region 1012 is set as a1, and satisfies: a1≤60°.
[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the first housing 101 includes a first inner wall region 1011 and a second inner wall region 1012. The first inner wall region 1011 and the second inner wall region 1012 are distributed along the air outlet direction and are connected along the air outlet direction. A stepped surface 23 is connected between the first inner wall region 1011 and the second inner wall region 1012, that is, a surface difference is formed between the first inner wall region 1011 and the second inner wall region 1012. This allows the airflow to flow through the stepped surface 23 when it flows from the first inner wall region 1011 to the second inner wall region 1012, thereby preventing the airflow from flowing along the second inner wall region 1012 under the action of adsorption effect, so as to ensure that the airflow flows as needed and improve the user experience.
[0073] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the angle between the flow direction of the first inner wall region 1011 and the flow direction of the second inner wall region 1012 is set as a1, and satisfies: a1≤60°. That is, the angle a1 between the flow direction of the first inner wall region 1011 and the flow direction of the second inner wall region 1012 can be set to 60°, 50°, 40°, 30°, 20° or 10°, etc., which can ensure the guiding effect of the first inner wall region 1011 on the airflow and prevent the airflow from being adsorbed on the second inner wall region 1012, thus ensuring the reliability of use.
[0074] In actual setup, both the first inner wall region 1011 and the second inner wall region 1012 can be set as a plane or a curved surface. When one of the first inner wall region 1011 and the second inner wall region 1012 is set as a plane and the other is set as a curved surface, the angle between the flow direction of the first inner wall region 1011 and the flow direction of the second inner wall region 1012 can also refer to the angle between the extension direction of the plane region and the extension direction of the tangent formed by the end of the plane region and the curved surface.
[0075] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the second housing 102 includes a third inner wall region 1021 and a fourth inner wall region 1022 distributed along the air outlet direction. The stepped surface 23 connects the third inner wall region 1021 and the fourth inner wall region 1022. The angle between the airflow direction of the third inner wall region 1021 and the airflow direction of the fourth inner wall region 1022 is set as a2, and satisfies: a2≤60°.
[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the second housing 102 includes a third inner wall region 1021 and a fourth inner wall region 1022. The third inner wall region 1021 and the fourth inner wall region 1022 are distributed along the air outlet direction and are connected along the air outlet direction. The stepped surface 23 connects the third inner wall region 1021 and the fourth inner wall region 1022, that is, there is a surface difference between the third inner wall region 1021 and the fourth inner wall region 1022. When the airflow flows from the third inner wall region 1021 to the fourth inner wall region 1022, it can flow through the stepped surface 23. This can prevent the airflow from flowing along the fourth inner wall region 1022 under the action of adsorption effect, so as to ensure that the airflow flows as needed and improve the user experience.
[0077] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the angle between the flow direction of the third inner wall region 1021 and the flow direction of the fourth inner wall region 1022 is set as a2, and satisfies: a2≤60°. That is, the angle a2 between the flow direction of the third inner wall region 1021 and the flow direction of the fourth inner wall region 1022 can be set to 60°, 50°, 40°, 30°, 20° or 10°, etc., which can ensure the guiding effect of the third inner wall region 1021 on the airflow and prevent the airflow from being adsorbed on the fourth inner wall region 1022, thus ensuring the reliability of use.
[0078] In actual setup, both the third inner wall region 1021 and the fourth inner wall region 1022 can be set as a plane or a curved surface. When one of the third inner wall region 1021 and the fourth inner wall region 1022 is set as a plane and the other is set as a curved surface, the angle between the flow direction of the third inner wall region 1021 and the flow direction of the fourth inner wall region 1022 can also refer to the angle between the extension direction of the plane region and the extension direction of the tangent formed by the end of the plane region and the curved surface.
[0079] In some embodiments, the minimum opening width of the air outlet 13 is set to L, and satisfies: 15mm≤L≤20mm.
[0080] Specifically, the air conditioning vent structure 100 has an air vent 13 on the side near the interior of the vehicle that opens towards the interior of the vehicle. The opening width of the air vent 13 can be set to gradually decrease along the air outlet direction, which can make the air vent 13 into a trumpet shape, thereby increasing the airflow speed to the air vent 13 and ensuring the user experience.
[0081] And such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the minimum opening width of the air outlet 13 is set to L, and satisfies: 15mm≤L≤20mm. That is, the minimum opening width L of the air outlet 13 can be set to 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm or 20mm, etc. Setting the minimum opening width L of the air outlet 13 to satisfy: 15mm≤L≤20mm can reduce the opening size of the air outlet 13, thereby improving the overall simplicity of the air conditioner air outlet structure 100 and improving the concealment of the air outlet 13, ensuring the user experience.
[0082] In other embodiments, the surface difference height of the step surface is set to H, and satisfies: 0.5mm≤H≤1mm.
[0083] Specifically, the decorative panel 2 can conceal the air outlet 13, ensuring the overall simplicity of the air conditioning outlet structure 100. The decorative panel 2 has a stepped surface 23, which creates a surface difference on the inner wall of the air outlet 13 in the air outlet direction. The height of the surface difference can be set to H, and satisfies: 0.5mm≤H≤1mm. That is, the height H of the surface difference can be set to 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm or 1mm, etc. Setting the height H of the surface difference to satisfy: 0.5mm≤H≤1mm can prevent the airflow from still flowing closely to the instrument panel body 1 under the action of adsorption when it flows through the air outlet 13, thus ensuring the reliability of the air outlet 13.
[0084] In some embodiments, the air outlet duct 12 is provided with an air guide 123, and the diversion housing 103 is provided with an air guide drive 14 connected to the air guide 123.
[0085] Specifically, the air outlet duct 12 is provided with an air guide 123. There can be two air guides 123, which can be respectively set in the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122. The air guide 123 is rotatably installed in the split housing 103. When the air guide 123 rotates relative to the split housing 103, it can drive the airflow in the corresponding air duct. That is, when the air guide 123 in the first air duct 121 rotates, the air guide 123 can drive the airflow at the air inlet 11 to flow through the first air duct 121 to the air outlet 13, so as to flow downward inside the vehicle. When the air guide 123 in the second air duct 122 rotates, the air guide 123 can drive the airflow at the air inlet 11 to flow through the second air duct 122 to the air outlet 13, so as to flow upward inside the vehicle. This can increase the airflow speed and improve the user experience.
[0086] Furthermore, the diversion housing 103 is also provided with an air guide drive 14, which can be configured as a drive motor, etc. The drive motor is provided with a drive shaft 141, and the drive shaft 141 can be connected to the two air guides 123 through a structure such as a track disk, so that the air guide drive 14 can drive the two air guides 123 respectively, so that the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 can output air as needed. When the first air duct 121 outputs air, the air guide drive 14 can drive the air guides 123 in the first air duct 121 to rotate. When the second air duct 122 outputs air, the air guide drive 14 can drive the air guides 123 in the second air duct 122 to rotate, ensuring the air output speed and thus ensuring the user experience.
[0087] In other embodiments, the air outlet duct 12 is provided with a damper 124, and the diversion housing 103 is provided with a damper drive connected to the air guide 123.
[0088] Specifically, the air outlet duct 12 is provided with a damper 124. There can be two dampers 124, and the two dampers 124 can be respectively set at the air inlet end of the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122. The damper 124 is rotatably installed on the splitter housing 103, so that the damper 124 can be rotated to close the first air duct 121 or the second air duct 122, and the damper 124 can also be rotated to open the first air duct 121 or the second air duct 122. When the user only needs to blow air into the upper part of the vehicle interior, the damper 124 can close the first air duct 121 and open the second air duct 122. When the user only needs to blow air into the lower part of the vehicle interior, the damper 124 can open the first air duct 121 and close the second air duct 122. And when the user needs to blow air into all directions of the vehicle interior, the damper 124 can open the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 to meet different air outlet needs.
[0089] Furthermore, the diversion housing 103 is also provided with a damper drive component, which can be configured as a drive motor, etc. The drive motor can be connected to the two dampers 124 through a structure such as a track disk, so that the damper drive component can drive the two dampers 124 respectively, so that the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 can output air as needed. When one of the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 outputs air, the air output rate can be increased and energy consumption can be reduced. When both the first air duct 121 and the second air duct 122 output air, air can be output to multiple places inside the vehicle, improving the user experience.

Furthermore, a stepped surface 23 is formed at the air outlet 13, so that the inner wall of the air outlet 13 has a surface difference in the air outlet direction, which can reduce the adsorption effect of the airflow at the air outlet 13, so that the airflow flows as needed, ensuring the reliability of the air outlet direction, improving the user experience.
