[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable air intake car grille, including a housing. The front end of the housing has multiple rectangular slots through it. Multiple grille plates located between two adjacent rectangular slots are installed through the front end of the housing. An adjustment mechanism is provided at the rear end of the housing. The adjustment mechanism includes a first slider and a second slider respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the rear end of the housing. The lower end of the first slider is fixedly connected to a first horizontal plate. The lower end of the first horizontal plate is fixedly connected to multiple first baffles located behind the rectangular slots.
[0006] The upper end of the second slider is fixedly connected to a second horizontal plate, and the upper end of the second horizontal plate is fixedly connected to a plurality of second baffles located behind the first baffle.
[0007] The rear end of the housing is provided with a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism.

[0009] To facilitate the movement of the second baffle, in the preferred embodiment of the adjustable air intake car grille of this utility model, the second drive mechanism includes a second mounting plate fixedly connected to the rear end of the housing, a second electric push rod mounted on the outer wall of the second mounting plate, and the output end of the second electric push rod passing through the second mounting plate and fixedly connected to one of the second baffles.
[0010] To increase the stability of the movement of the first and second sliders, in the preferred embodiment of the adjustable air intake car grille of this invention, both the first and second sliders are slidably connected to the housing via a slide rail mounted at the rear end of the housing.
[0011] In order to block the rectangular groove and the grille plate, the rectangular groove and the grille plate are preferably the same size in the adjustable air intake car grille of this utility model, and the first baffle and the second baffle are the same size and are both larger than the size of the rectangular groove.
[0012] To prevent large gaps between the front end of the first baffle and the outer shell, and between the front end of the second baffle and the first baffle, the preferred embodiment of the adjustable air intake car grille of this utility model is that the front end of the first baffle abuts against the rear end of the outer shell, and the front end of the second baffle abuts against the rear end of the first baffle.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] In this utility model, when it is necessary to increase the air intake of the grille, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism respectively drive the first baffle, the second baffle, the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate connected to them to move. The multiple first baffles and the second baffles block the through holes on the outer wall of the grille plate. At this time, the multiple rectangular slots are in an open state, and the gas enters from the inside of the rectangular slots to achieve the purpose of increasing the air intake.
[0015] When the air intake volume of the grille needs to be reduced, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism respectively drive the first baffle, the second baffle, the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate connected to it to move. The first baffle and the second baffle are moved to the rear of the multiple rectangular slots to block the multiple rectangular slots. At this time, the gas enters the interior of the shell through the through hole of the grille plate to achieve the purpose of reducing the air intake volume.
[0016] When the grille needs to be closed, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism move multiple first baffles to the rear end of multiple rectangular slots to block the rectangular slots, and move the second baffles to the rear of multiple grille plates to block the through holes on the outer wall of the grille plates, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the grille.

[0023] The rear end of the outer casing 1 is provided with a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism.
[0024] In this embodiment: when it is necessary to increase the air intake of the grille, the first baffle 4, the second baffle 7, the first horizontal plate 9, and the second horizontal plate 11 connected thereto are moved by the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism respectively, so that the multiple first baffles 4 and the second baffles 7 are moved to the rear of the multiple grille plates 3 respectively.

The first baffle 4 and the second baffle 7 are moved to the rear of the multiple rectangular slots 2 to block the multiple rectangular slots 2. At this time, the gas enters the interior of the outer shell 1 through the through hole of the grille plate 3 to achieve the purpose of reducing the air intake volume.
[0026] When the grille needs to be closed, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism move multiple first baffles 4 to the rear end of multiple rectangular slots 2 to block the rectangular slots 2, and move the second baffles 7 to the rear of multiple grille plates 3 to block the through holes on the outer wall of the grille plates 3, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the grille.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the first driving mechanism includes a first mounting plate 5 fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer shell 1, a first electric push rod 6 is installed on the outer wall of the first mounting plate 5, and the output end of the first electric push rod 6 passes through the first mounting plate 5 and is fixedly connected to one of the first baffles 4.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first baffle 4 can be easily moved by the first electric push rod 6.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the second drive mechanism includes a second mounting plate 12 fixedly connected to the rear end of the housing 1, a second electric push rod 13 is mounted on the outer wall of the second mounting plate 12, and the output end of the second electric push rod 13 passes through the second mounting plate 12 and is fixedly connected to one of the second baffles 7.
[0030] In this embodiment, the second baffle 7 can be easily moved by the second electric push rod 13.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both the first slider 8 and the second slider 10 are slidably connected to the outer shell 1 via a slide rail 14 installed at the rear end of the outer shell 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the stability of the movement of the first slider 8 and the second slider 10 can be increased by sliding the first slider 8 and the second slider 10 together through the slide rail 14 installed at the rear end of the housing 1.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the rectangular groove 2 and the grid plate 3 have the same size, and the first baffle 4 and the second baffle 7 have the same size and are both larger than the size of the rectangular groove 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, since the first baffle 4 and the second baffle 7 are the same size and both are larger than the size of the rectangular groove 2, the rectangular groove 2 and the grid plate 3 can be easily blocked by the first baffle 4 and the second baffle 7.
[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the front end of the first baffle 4 abuts against the rear end of the outer shell 1, and the front end of the second baffle 7 abuts against the rear end of the first baffle 4.
[0036] In this embodiment, the front end of the first baffle 4 abuts against the rear end of the outer shell 1, and the front end of the second baffle 7 abuts against the rear end of the first baffle 4, which can prevent large gaps between the front end of the first baffle 4 and the outer shell 1, and between the front end of the second baffle 7 and the first baffle 4.
[0037] Working principle: When it is necessary to increase the air intake of the grille, the first electric actuator 6 and the second electric actuator 13 are activated to drive the first baffle 4, the second baffle 7, the first horizontal plate 9 and the second horizontal plate 11 connected to them to move respectively. The multiple first baffles 4 and the second baffles 7 are moved to the rear of the multiple grille plates 3 respectively. At this time, the multiple rectangular slots 2 are in the open state, and the gas enters from the inside of the rectangular slots 2 to achieve the purpose of increasing the air intake.
[0038] When it is necessary to reduce the air intake of the grille, the first electric actuator 6 and the second electric actuator 13 can be activated to drive the first baffle 4, the second baffle 7, the first horizontal plate 9, and the second horizontal plate 11 connected to them to move. The first baffle 4 and the second baffle 7 are moved to the rear of the multiple rectangular slots 2 to block the multiple rectangular slots 2. At this time, the gas enters the interior of the outer shell 1 through the through hole of the grille plate 3, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the air intake.
[0039] When it is necessary to close the grille, the first electric actuator 6 and the second electric actuator 13 are activated to move multiple first baffles 4 to the rear end of multiple rectangular slots 2, blocking the rectangular slots 2. The second baffle 7 is then moved between two first baffles 4, and the second baffle 7 corresponds to the grille plate 3, blocking the through holes on the outer wall of the grille plate 3, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the grille.
