Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air outlet adjustment technology, and specifically relates to a heating, ventilation and air conditioning air outlet regulator. Background Technology

[0002] In modern HVAC systems, air outlet adjustment is a crucial aspect of controlling indoor airflow distribution and temperature regulation. Currently, the most common method for adjusting air outlets is through the use of vent shields. The original purpose of vent shields is to initially guide and disperse the airflow from the air conditioner, allowing cool or warm air to be distributed throughout the indoor space.

[0003] However, this airflow regulation method, which relies on baffles, suffers from poor air distribution, making it difficult to achieve precise airflow to specific areas. In many real-world scenarios, users often require targeted heating for specific areas. For example, in an office, employees work at their desks for extended periods and expect the air conditioning to be precisely directed to their work area to quickly regulate the local temperature. However, the baffle method causes the airflow to diffuse in all directions, making it difficult to concentrate it on a specific area. This results in poor temperature regulation in that area, and employees may still feel stuffy or cold. When the interior space is complex, with furniture, partitions, and other obstacles, the limited blade angle adjustment range prevents the airflow from being flexibly directed to the target area according to the interior layout. A large amount of airflow is blocked by obstacles, resulting in wasted energy.

[0004] To address the above issues, this application proposes a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) outlet regulator. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) vent regulator. By designing an angle adjustment component, it achieves precise control of the air outlet angle. When the angle motor is activated, its power is rapidly transmitted to the connected drive shaft, causing it to rotate stably. Side rotating rods tightly connected to both ends of the drive shaft further transmit the rotational power to the linkage rods on both sides of the air outlet frame. Through this synergistic effect, the rotation of the drive shaft is smoothly converted into the rotation of the air outlet frame, allowing for flexible changes in the air outlet angle. This enables the air outlet frame to be precisely aligned with the target area, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) vent regulator includes: an air outlet panel; an air outlet adjustment mechanism located below the air outlet panel; the air outlet adjustment mechanism includes an angle adjustment component and a steering component, the angle adjustment component including a corrugated telescopic square tube rotatably adjustable for air outlet angle, an air outlet frame installed below the corrugated telescopic square tube, a set of side rotating rods on each side of the corrugated telescopic square tube, the two sets of side rotating rods being connected at the top via a drive shaft, and an angle motor installed above one side of the corrugated telescopic square tube; the steering component includes a connecting duct rotatably adjustable for horizontal air outlet direction, an external gear ring installed on the outer side of the connecting duct, a steering gear for driving the rotation of the external gear ring on one side, a fixing ring above the connecting duct, an annular groove formed within the fixing ring, and a rotating ring within the annular groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a heat insulation layer made of ceramic fiber is installed on the inner side of the corrugated telescopic square tube, and the inner wall of the corrugated telescopic square tube is surrounded by zigzag-shaped bending reinforcing ribs from top to bottom. An air inlet frame is installed on the top of the corrugated telescopic square tube, and an air outlet frame is installed below it.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a set of linkage rods is installed on each side of the air outlet frame, the lower ends of the two sets of side rotating rods are connected to the linkage rods, the drive shaft is located inside the air inlet frame, and the upper ends of the two sets of side rotating rods are connected to both ends of the drive shaft, and a shielding net is installed on the lower surface of the air outlet frame.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the air inlet frame, and the angle motor is fixed below the fixing plate, with the output shaft of the angle motor fixedly connected to the transmission shaft.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the steering gear is meshed with the external gear ring, a gear motor is provided above the steering gear, the upper end of the gear motor is fixedly connected to the air outlet panel, and the output shaft of the gear motor is fixedly connected to the steering gear.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing ring is installed below the air outlet panel, the lower end of the rotating ring is fixedly connected to the connecting air duct, and the lower end of the connecting air duct is fixedly connected to the air inlet frame.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting frame is installed on the outer side of the upper part of the air outlet panel, and a set of fixing holes is provided at each of the four corners of the connecting frame.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By designing an angle adjustment component, precise control of the air outlet angle is achieved. When the angle motor is started, its power is quickly transmitted to the connected drive shaft, causing the drive shaft to rotate stably. The side rotating rods tightly connected to both ends of the drive shaft further transmit the rotational power to the linkage rods on both sides of the air outlet frame. Under this synergistic effect, the rotation of the drive shaft is smoothly converted into the rotation of the air outlet frame, which can flexibly change the air outlet angle. This allows the air outlet frame to be precisely aligned with the target area, meeting the needs of precise air delivery to specific areas in different scenarios. During the rotation of the air outlet frame, the corrugated telescopic square tube can bend naturally, and its good flexibility and adaptability ensure a smooth adjustment process.

[0016] 2. By designing a steering component, the horizontal adjustment of the air outlet direction is effectively achieved. The steering gear rotates under power, and because it meshes with the outer gear ring on the upper outer side of the connecting duct, the rotation of the steering gear drives the outer gear ring, thereby causing the connecting duct to rotate smoothly horizontally. Since the lower end of the connecting duct is firmly fixed to the air inlet frame, the rotation of the connecting duct synchronously drives the air outlet frame to rotate through the corrugated telescopic square tube, thus achieving flexible adjustment of the air outlet direction in the horizontal dimension. With the cooperation of angle adjustment and steering adjustment, the air outlet frame can be aligned with the target area from multiple directions and angles, improving the accuracy of air delivery. Simultaneously, the fixing ring is installed below the air outlet panel, and the rotating ring within its groove provides reliable support and guidance for the rotation of the connecting duct. This ensures the stability of the connecting duct during rotation. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) air outlet regulator includes: an air outlet panel 1; an air outlet adjustment mechanism located below the air outlet panel 1; the air outlet adjustment mechanism includes an angle adjustment component 2 and a steering component 3. The angle adjustment component 2 includes a corrugated telescopic square tube 22 that can rotatably adjust the air outlet angle. An air outlet frame 23 is installed below the corrugated telescopic square tube 22. A set of side rotating rods 24 are respectively provided on both sides of the corrugated telescopic square tube 22. The two sets of side rotating rods 24 are connected at the top via a drive shaft 29. The corrugated telescopic square tube 22 has a... An angle motor 28 is installed on the side; the steering assembly 3 includes a connecting air duct 31 that can be horizontally rotated to adjust the air outlet direction. An external gear ring 32 is installed on the outer side of the upper part of the connecting air duct 31. A steering gear 33 that drives the external gear ring 32 to rotate is provided on one side. A fixing ring 35 is provided on the upper part of the connecting air duct 31. An annular groove 37 is opened in the fixing ring 35, and a rotating ring 36 is provided in the annular groove 37. When the connecting air duct 31 rotates, the rotating ring 36 can rotate smoothly in the annular groove 37, so that the connecting air duct 31 can rotate stably.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown: A ceramic fiber insulation layer is installed on the inner side of the corrugated expansion tube 22, and the inner wall of the corrugated expansion tube 22 is surrounded by zigzag-shaped bending reinforcing ribs from top to bottom. An air inlet frame 21 is installed above the corrugated expansion tube 22, and an air outlet frame 23 is installed below it. The zigzag-shaped bending reinforcing ribs can increase the structural stability of the corrugated expansion tube 22. When the air outlet frame 23 rotates, the corrugated expansion tube 22 will bend accordingly. The reinforcing ribs can withstand greater external forces, making it less prone to deformation and breakage during frequent bending, thus ensuring the integrity and normal use of the corrugated expansion tube 22.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown: A set of linkage rods 25 are installed on each side of the air outlet frame 23. The lower ends of the two sets of side rotating rods 24 are connected to the linkage rods 25. The drive shaft 29 is located inside the air inlet frame 21, and the upper ends of the two sets of side rotating rods 24 are connected to both ends of the drive shaft 29. A baffle net 26 is installed on the lower surface of the air outlet frame 23. The design of the baffle net 26 can prevent foreign objects from entering the internal air duct of the air conditioner when the air outlet frame 23 is not discharging air.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown: A fixing plate 27 is fixedly installed on one side of the air inlet frame 21, and the angle motor 28 is fixed below the fixing plate 27. The output shaft of the angle motor 28 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 29.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown: The steering gear 33 meshes with the external gear ring 32. A gear motor 34 is mounted above the steering gear 33. The upper end of the gear motor 34 is fixedly connected to the air outlet panel 1. The output shaft of the gear motor 34 is fixedly connected to the steering gear 33. The gear motor 34 serves as a power source, providing driving force for the entire steering adjustment function. When the gear motor 34 starts operating, its output shaft rotates accordingly. Because the output shaft is fixedly connected to the steering gear 33, the rotation of the output shaft can be accurately and efficiently transmitted to the steering gear 33, causing the steering gear 33 to start rotating.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown: the fixing ring 35 is installed below the air outlet panel 1, the lower end of the rotating ring 36 is fixedly connected to the connecting air duct 31, and the lower end of the connecting air duct 31 is fixedly connected to the air inlet frame 21.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown: A connecting frame 4 is installed on the outer side of the upper part of the air outlet panel 1, and a set of fixing holes 5 are opened at each of the four corners of the connecting frame 4.

[0032] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] In practical use, bolts can be used to connect the air outlet panel 1 to the mounting location through the fixing hole 5, thus securely installing it below the air conditioner outlet. When the air outlet angle needs to be adjusted, the angle motor 28 is started. After the motor starts, it drives the connected drive shaft 29 to rotate. The two ends of the drive shaft 29 are connected to the side rotating rod 24, which in turn is connected to the linkage rods 25 on both sides of the air outlet frame 23. As the drive shaft 29 rotates, the side rotating rod 24 and the linkage rods 25 drive the air outlet frame 23 to rotate, thereby changing the air outlet angle of the air outlet frame 23 so that the air conditioner air outlet can be directed at the target area. During the rotation of the air outlet frame 23, the corrugated telescopic square tube 22 bends along with the rotation of the air outlet frame 23. The heat insulation layer on the inner side of the corrugated telescopic square tube 22 can effectively reduce heat loss during air outlet, while the zigzag bending reinforcing ribs on its inner wall enhance the structural strength, ensuring that the corrugated telescopic square tube 22 is not easily damaged when bent.

[0034] If the air outlet direction needs to be adjusted, the gear motor 34 can be started. After the gear motor 34 is started, it drives the steering gear 33 to rotate. Since the steering gear 33 meshes with the outer gear ring 32 on the upper outer side of the connecting air duct 31, the rotation of the steering gear 33 will drive the outer gear ring 32 to rotate, thereby enabling the connecting air duct 31 to rotate horizontally. Since the lower end of the connecting air duct 31 is fixedly connected to the air inlet frame 21, the air inlet frame 21 will drive the air outlet frame 23 to rotate through the corrugated telescopic square tube 22, thereby realizing the horizontal adjustment of the air outlet direction. Through the cooperation of angle adjustment and direction adjustment, the air outlet frame 23 can be easily aligned with target areas in various directions. In addition, the fixing ring 35 is installed below the air outlet panel 1, and the rotating ring 36 in its annular groove 37 provides reliable support and guidance for the rotation of the connecting air duct 31, ensuring that the connecting air duct 31 can rotate stably.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
