Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vehicle air conditioning outlet with a diffused air function. Background Technology

[0002] Motorized air vents are a common feature in automotive interiors and home appliances, providing good ventilation. However, existing motorized air vents can only direct airflow and cannot expand the fan-shaped area of ​​the airflow by switching modes.

[0003] Chinese Patent 201911153047.0 discloses a method for optimizing the space of the front air guide blades of a narrow air outlet in a car, including a housing and a front air guide blade assembly disposed within the housing. Rotating shafts are provided at both ends of the blades, and a connecting rod shaft is provided at one end of the blades. The front air guide blade assembly includes a first blade, a second blade, and a third blade, with the second blade being the main blade and the first and third blades being the secondary blades. The first and third blades are in close contact with the inner wall of the housing.

[0004] Chinese Patent 202323054833.X discloses an air outlet blade with ambient light, an air outlet blade assembly, and an automotive air outlet; the air outlet blade with ambient light includes an outer blade layer having a cavity; an inner blade layer assembled at the bottom of the outer blade layer and partially extending into the cavity; and an ambient light assembly including a light guide that can be adapted to the cavity and an ambient light module connected to one end of the light guide that extends out of the outer blade layer.

[0005] Chinese Patent 202110963121.6 discloses a single-knob controlled automotive air conditioning vent, comprising: an vent housing with an internal air outlet channel, having an air inlet end and an air outlet end, and within the vent housing, sequentially arranged along the air outlet direction, a horizontal air guide component, a vertical blade group, and an air volume blade; and a control component disposed on one side of the vent housing, located outside the air outlet channel.

[0006] The drawback of the above technical solution is that it can only direct airflow, the fan-shaped area is fixed, and it cannot switch to a larger airflow area.

[0007] Therefore, how to provide an air outlet that can both direct airflow and switch to large-area airflow (diffusion airflow) has become a problem that the industry needs to solve. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air outlet with a diffused air function, which can both direct airflow and switch to large-area airflow (diffuse airflow).

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an air outlet with a diffused air function, the air outlet comprising:

[0010] The casing has air ducts.

[0011] The front air guide panel includes a rotatable upper front air guide panel and a lower front air guide panel;

[0012] The middle air guide panel includes a middle upper air guide panel and a middle lower air guide panel; the middle upper air guide panel and the front upper air guide panel are hinged together, and the middle lower air guide panel and the front lower air guide panel are hinged together.

[0013] The rear air guide panel includes a rear upper air guide panel and a rear lower air guide panel; the rear upper air guide panel and the middle upper air guide panel are hinged together, and the rear lower air guide panel and the middle lower air guide panel are hinged together; the rear air guide panel is movably mounted on the housing; the air duct is located between the rear upper air guide panel and the rear lower air guide panel.

[0014] The housing has a slot, and the rear air guide panel is inserted into the slot.

[0015] Rotating the front lower air guide panel will cause the position of the middle lower air guide panel hinged to it to change, and at the same time, the position of the rear lower air guide panel hinged to the middle lower air guide panel will also change; rotating the front upper air guide panel will cause the position of the middle upper air guide panel hinged to it to change, and at the same time, the position of the rear upper air guide panel hinged to the middle upper air guide panel will also change.

[0016] In this utility model, the air outlet further includes an outer frame, which is fixedly connected to the housing and located in front of the air duct.

[0017] In this invention, the front air guide panel is rotatably mounted on the outer frame.

[0018] In this utility model, the outer frame is provided with an opening, and the front air guide panel, the middle air guide panel and the rear air guide panel are all located inside the opening.

[0019] After the air from the vent is blown out of the duct, it moves towards the front air guide panel inside the opening until it leaves the vent.

[0020] In this utility model, a gear set is provided on the outer frame, the gear set includes several connecting gears, and the front upper air guide panel and the front lower air guide panel are connected by the gear set.

[0021] In this design, the gear set includes two connecting gears.

[0022] In this utility model, an upper gear is provided on the upper front air guide panel, and a lower gear is provided on the lower front air guide panel; both the upper gear and the lower gear mesh with the gear set.

[0023] In this design, when the lower front air guide panel rotates, it drives the lower gear to rotate; the lower gear drives the upper gear to rotate through the gear set, and the upper gear drives the upper front air guide panel to rotate; and vice versa.

[0024] In this invention, the air duct is provided with several vertically arranged blades.

[0025] In this design, the vertical blades are distributed in a straight line along the cross-section of the air duct.

[0026] In this invention, the air outlet further includes a vertical blade motor for driving the vertical blades to rotate.

[0027] In this design, the vertical blade motor drives the vertical blades to rotate horizontally, thereby adjusting the wind direction to the left or right.

[0028] The housing contains upper and lower air sweeping plates located behind the vertical blades; the upper and lower air sweeping plates can rotate in a vertical plane to adjust the airflow direction; the housing also has an air sweeping motor for driving the upper and lower air sweeping plates.

[0029] In this invention, a horizontally placed crossbar is provided inside the opening.

[0030] In this design, the vertical blade has a notch in the middle, and the horizontal plate is embedded in the notch.

[0031] In this invention, the air outlet further includes a front motor for driving the front air guide panel to rotate.

[0032] In this design, the front motor drives the lower front air guide panel to rotate, which in turn drives the upper front air guide panel to rotate via a gear set.

[0033] The method for achieving diffused wind is as follows:

[0034] A command signal is sent to the front motor, which, along with a gear set, drives the front upper and lower air guide panels to rotate. This, in turn, causes the middle upper and lower air guide panels, as well as the rear upper and lower air guide panels, to change their positions. This alters the airflow pattern within the opening at the front of the duct, changing the shape of the air guide surface from a directional pattern to a diffusion pattern, thus guiding the airflow along the air guide panels to blow over a larger area.

[0035] When the air outlet is in diffused air mode, the angle between the front upper air guide panel and the middle upper air guide panel protrudes downwards, while the angle between the front lower air guide panel and the middle lower air guide panel protrudes upwards.

[0036] When the air outlet is in directional airflow mode, the angle between the front upper air guide panel and the middle upper air guide panel protrudes upward, and the angle between the front lower air guide panel and the middle lower air guide panel protrudes downward.

[0037] When passengers want to cool down quickly but don't want a strong wind, the diffused airflow mode can make the same amount of airflow more diffused and relatively gentle, improving passenger comfort.

[0038] This invention solves the problem that the traditional electric air outlet has a fixed height for directional blowing and cannot be switched to a larger fan-shaped air area. It has both a directional wind mode and a diffusion mode that can switch to a wider air area. While ensuring that the air outlet blows directionally, it can also switch to a large area blowing (diffusion wind).

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description
