Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle air outlet systems, and in particular to an electric air outlet, an air outlet system, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the upgrading of automobile consumption, users' demand for the comfort of the in-car environment is increasing. The air quality and odor in the car have become important indicators affecting the driving experience. At present, the conventional solutions to improve the odor in the car mainly include in-car fragrances, air purifiers or chemical fragrance sprays. However, the existing technologies generally have the following limitations: (1) Most fragrance devices need to be installed independently in a fixed position in the car (such as air vent clips, cup holders, etc.). The fragrance diffusion depends on natural evaporation or passive airflow, which is inefficient and has a limited coverage area; (2) Liquid perfumes or sprays are easily affected by temperature and humidity, and there is a risk of uneven evaporation, uncontrolled concentration or chemical residue; (3) Although some high-end models are equipped with in-car air purification systems, they mainly focus on odor removal rather than active fragrance enhancement, which is simple in function and expensive. In addition, traditional fragrance devices occupy the space in the car, and the design is not coordinated with the overall car aesthetics, making it difficult to meet users' needs for intelligence and integration.

[0003] Against this backdrop, how to deeply integrate odor-improving functions with existing vehicle air conditioning systems to achieve efficient, uniform, and controllable fragrance release, while also considering space utilization and user convenience, has become an important direction for innovation in automotive interior functions. This invention proposes a fragrance diffusion solution integrated into an electric air vent through structural optimization, aiming to overcome existing technological bottlenecks and improve the quality of the in-vehicle environment.

[0018] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electric air outlet without an installed aroma diffuser storage box, provided for an embodiment of this utility model;

[0019] Figure 3 An axonometric view of the aroma diffuser storage box provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0020] 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an electric air vent that can accommodate added fragrance medium. The part marked with ☆ is the focus of this invention, which is a fragrance storage box 5 with adjustable storage space for the added fragrance medium. When the air conditioner is turned on and there is airflow from the vent, the fragrance diffusion effect is enhanced. Passengers can adjust the airflow direction or volume by adjusting the vent knob 1, vent blades 2, vent dial 3, etc., and the scent is adjusted accordingly.

[0022] This utility model embodiment provides an electric air outlet, including an air outlet dial 3 with an air outlet housing 4, an air outlet blade 2 disposed at the air outlet position of the air outlet dial 3, and a ventilation grille 7 provided on the side of the air outlet housing 4. The ventilation grille 7 passes through an air outlet channel, and a diffuser storage box 5 for adding diffuser medium is installed on the ventilation grille 7. When airflow passes through the air outlet channel, the diffuser medium in the diffuser storage box 5 can be evaporated from the air outlet position of the air outlet blade 2 by the airflow. The diffuser storage box 5 is directly integrated into the surface of the ventilation grille 7. The forced airflow of the air conditioning outlet channel drives the diffusion of fragrance. Compared with the inefficient mode of passive evaporation of traditional car air fresheners, this design accelerates the evaporation rate of the medium through airflow, improving the uniformity of fragrance coverage by about 40%-60%, based on simulated wind tunnel experimental data.

[0023] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a fixing member 6 is provided on the housing of the air vent dial 3 next to the ventilation grille 7, and the diffuser storage box 5 is installed and fixed by the fixing member 6. Preferably, the fixing member 6 detachably connects the diffuser storage boxes 5. The fixing member 6 is an "L"-shaped flange set on both sides of the ventilation grille 7; the diffuser storage box 5 has a flange 52 on the top, and the "L"-shaped flange serves as the insertion rail for the flange 52 of the diffuser storage box 5. Installation / removal can be completed by pushing and pulling on one side only (time <5 seconds), which solves the problem of easy loosening and damage to the grille in the traditional air outlet aromatherapy clamping structure. At the same time, the detachable connection allows users to change storage boxes of different fragrances as needed, and is compatible with solid (fragrant wood), semi-solid (gel), and liquid (microcapsule perfume) multi-form media.

[0024] The aroma diffuser storage box 5 is also equipped with an adjustment baffle 53 for adjusting the size of its opening. The adjustment baffle 53 is a block that slides into the opening of the aroma diffuser storage box 5. Users can adjust the opening size manually or electrically to achieve gradient control of the fragrance concentration. Combined with the air conditioning fan speed linkage algorithm (such as a small opening for weak wind and a large opening for strong wind), it can adaptively maintain the stability of the fragrance concentration in the car, avoiding olfactory fatigue caused by excessive release of traditional air fresheners.

[0025] The spacing between adjacent grilles in the ventilation grille 7 is preferably designed to be 1.5mm, and the width of the electric air outlet of the grille is 1.5mm. This ensures that laminar flow is formed when the airflow passes through, reducing the loss of aroma due to turbulence. This parameter is compatible with the air duct pressure of mainstream models (50-200Pa range) and a standardized interface is reserved to adapt to third-party expansion modules (such as PM2.5 filter boxes, negative ion generators, etc.).

[0026] The air vent blades 2 are also equipped with an air vent knob 1 that can be toggled to adjust the airflow direction. The air vent knob 1 is linked to the air vent blades 2, so that when the user adjusts the airflow angle, the direction of the fragrance spray is changed simultaneously. For example, the directional mode can focus the fragrance airflow on the driver's area, avoiding the problem of different sensitivities to fragrance among non-target occupants.

[0027] An air outlet system is proposed, including the aforementioned electric air outlet. The aroma diffuser storage box 5 of this design is embedded in the side of the ventilation grille 7, and its overall structural thickness is increased by only 8-10mm, avoiding encroachment on the longitudinal space inside the vehicle (such as the cup holder occupied by traditional perfume bottles). Combined with concealed wiring (the power supply line is integrated inside the air outlet housing 4), the appearance of the air outlet is kept simple.

[0028] A vehicle is also proposed, including the aforementioned electric air vent. The aroma diffuser storage box 5 is made of food-grade PP material with a temperature resistance range of -30℃ to 120℃, preventing medium deterioration or container deformation caused by high-temperature exposure. A silicone sealing strip is added to the inner side of the adjustment baffle 53, which can completely prevent medium evaporation when closed, preventing ineffective consumption during parking. Figure 2For the electric air outlet without the diffuser storage box 5 installed, a ventilation grille is arranged at the ☆ position. The grille's electric air outlet width is 1.5mm, and the spacing is 1.5mm. "L"-shaped flanges are provided on both sides of the grille, serving as the mounting track for the diffuser storage box. This ensures airflow while intercepting foreign objects ≥2mm in size (such as coins or paper scraps), preventing the diffuser storage box 5 from malfunctioning due to external impurities. Preferably, the diffuser storage box 5 is a rectangular storage box shell 51 approximately 30mm long, 15mm wide, and 9mm high, with a material thickness of 1.5mm. Two long sides have 2mm wide flanges 52 for mounting to the "L"-shaped track on the electric air outlet. The diffuser storage box 5 containing the diffuser medium has a rectangular hole 24mm long and 2mm wide on one side for placing and moving the internal space adjustment baffle 53. The adjustment baffle 53 can adjust the internal space of the diffuser storage box 5 according to the volume of the diffuser medium. This invention utilizes airflow to cause the diffuser medium inside the air vent to evaporate, thereby improving the odor inside the vehicle and enhancing the comfort of the driver and passengers.

[0029] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
