[0044] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the usage state of the air duct assembly of this utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the middle AA section. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified view of a portion of region M in the middle. Figure 4 for Figure 2 A magnified view of a portion of region N in the middle, for reference. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the air duct assembly provided forms an air duct together with the roof frame 100 and the side eaves frame 200; the air duct assembly includes: a top profile 300, a bottom profile 400, an air duct door 800, a light box, and a locking assembly.

[0045] The upper end of the top profile 300 is connected to the roof frame 100; the lower end of the bottom profile 400 is connected to the side eaves frame 200; the upper end of the air duct door 800 and the lower end of the top profile 300 are hinged by a first hinge 804; a light box mounting hole is provided on the air duct door 800; the light box is arranged in the light box mounting hole, the hinge area of ​​the light box is hinged to the air duct door 800 by a second hinge 854, and the fixed area of ​​the light box is optionally connected to the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct, wherein the hinge area of ​​the light box is located at the outer edge of the light box, and the fixed area of ​​the light box is the area outside the hinge area of ​​the outer edge of the light box; the locking assembly is located in the air duct and is installed on the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct; the lower end of the air duct door 800 and the upper end of the bottom profile 400 are connected by the locking assembly.

[0046] When the locking assembly is in the locked state, the lower end of the duct door 800 and the upper end of the bottom profile 400 are locked together, and the duct is in a closed state, which can generally be considered as the working state. When the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the lower end of the duct door 800 and the upper end of the bottom profile 400 are separated. At this time, the upper end of the duct door 800 is only hinged to the top profile 300 through the first hinge 804, and the duct is in an open state, which can generally be considered as the non-working state.

[0047] In one optional embodiment, the locking assembly includes: a lock bracket 500, a lock 600, and a locking member 700. The lock bracket 500 is mounted on the side of the duct door 800 facing the duct; the lock 600 is mounted on the lock bracket 500 and located on the side of the lock bracket 500 facing the duct; the locking member 700 is mounted on the side of the bottom profile 400 facing the duct; the locking member 700 is locked with the lock 600, and the lower end of the duct door 800 is connected to the upper end of the bottom profile 400.

[0048] The installation of the lock bracket 500 is briefly described below. The lock bracket 500 can be integrally formed with the lower end of the air duct door 800, which facilitates assembly. Alternatively, the lock bracket 500 can be separately formed with the lower end of the air duct door 800 and then fixed by snap-fit ​​or adhesive methods, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] It should be noted that the air duct door completely encloses the lock bracket 500, lock 600, and locking element 700 within the air duct. None of the lock bracket 500, lock 600, or locking element 700 is visible from the outside of the air duct.

[0050] In this embodiment, the lock bracket 500 is a stepped structure, which can provide effective support for the lock 600 and also form a suitable lock installation space between the lock bracket 500 and the air duct door 800 so that the lock can be completely concealed and installed in the air duct.

[0051] A brief introduction to the structure of the duct door 800: The duct door 800 includes a bottom profile 801, a duct door panel 802, and a top profile 803. The lower end of the bottom profile 801 is connected to the bottom profile 400; the lock bracket 500 is installed on the side of the bottom profile 801 facing the duct; the lower end of the duct door panel 802 is connected to the upper end of the bottom profile 801; a light box mounting hole is formed on the duct door panel 802; the light box is hinged to the duct door panel 802 via a second hinge 854; the top profile 803 is hinged to the top profile 300 via a first hinge 804 (not shown in the figure due to angle issues), and the upper end of the duct door panel 802 is connected to the top profile 803.

[0052] Regarding the use of a sheet metal structure for the duct door 800, it is easy to adapt to different duct door cross-sectional lengths. Using a sheet metal structure eliminates the need to adjust the cross-sectional length of the duct door 800 through splicing multiple profiles, reducing mold making and inventory backlog. Furthermore, the duct door 800 can be made of aluminum sheet, which offers good performance in terms of lightweighting and processability. In an optional embodiment, the duct door 800 is mainly made of a flat sheet metal, and the duct door 800 is connected to the top profile 300 and bottom profile 400 through bending transitions of the top edge profile 803 and top profile 300.

[0053] Regarding the connection between the bottom profile 400 and the bottom edge profile 801, a rubber strip 812 can be used to connect the bottom profile 400 and the bottom edge profile 801. Here, the bottom profile 400 and the bottom edge profile 801 are connected by a rubber strip 812, which reduces the vibration between the bottom profile 400 and the bottom edge profile 801 and effectively prevents abnormal noise caused by relative movement between the bottom profile 400 and the bottom edge profile 801.

[0054] In one embodiment, the end of the bottom profile 801 that connects to the duct door panel 802 is provided with a first hook 811, and the lower end of the duct door panel 802, facing away from the duct, abuts against the first hook 811. Here, the splicing transition between the bottom profile 801 and the duct door panel 802 is natural, and the splicing gap is hidden by the first hook 811, making it difficult to see the splicing gap between the bottom profile 801 and the duct door panel 802 from outside the duct.

[0055] Furthermore, a second hook 831 is provided at the end of the top edge profile 803 that connects to the duct door panel 802, and the upper end of the duct door panel 802, facing away from the duct, abuts against the second hook 831. Here, the splicing transition between the top edge profile 803 and the duct door panel 802 is natural, and the splicing gap is hidden by the second hook 831, making it difficult to see the splicing gap between the top edge profile 803 and the duct door panel 802 from outside the duct.

[0056] It should be noted that multiple first hinge members 804 can be evenly distributed on the top edge profile 803 and the top profile 300 to make the opening and closing action of the top edge profile 803 and the top profile 300 more stable. Correspondingly, multiple lock brackets 500 and locks 600 mounted on the lock brackets 500 can be evenly distributed on the bottom edge profile 801, and multiple locking members 700 can be evenly distributed on the bottom profile 400. Here, the lock brackets 500 and locks 600 can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, or multiple locks 600 can be arranged on one lock bracket 500. The locks 600 and locking members 700 must be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0057] Figure 5 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of BB (see reference). Figure 5 As shown, the structure of the lightbox is briefly described. Along the direction from the outside to the inside of the air duct, the lightbox includes, in sequence: an information board 851 (reference). Figure 1 (As shown), a transparent adhesive sheet 852 and a light box body 853; the transparent adhesive sheet 852 is located on the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct and covers the light box mounting hole, and the information board 851 is sandwiched between the transparent adhesive sheet 852 and the air duct door 800.

[0058] The hinged area of ​​the lightbox body 853 is hinged to the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct via a second hinge member 854. The fixed area of ​​the lightbox body 853 is pressed against the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct via a clamping member 855. The hinged area of ​​the lightbox body 853 is located on the outer edge of the lightbox body 853, and the fixed area of ​​the lightbox body 853 is the area on the outer edge of the lightbox body 853 outside the hinged area. Multiple clamping members 855 are evenly distributed along the fixed area of ​​the lightbox body 853. Multiple second hinge members 854 are also evenly distributed along the hinged area of ​​the lightbox body 853.

[0059] In this embodiment, one end of the clamping member 855 is connected to the air duct door 800. The other end of the clamping member 855 can be in two states. In the first state, the other end of the clamping member 855 can press against the light box body 853 facing the air duct. At this time, the light box body 853 is pressed against the air duct door 800, and the light box body 853 is in a closed state on the air duct door 800. In the second state, the other end of the clamping member 855 can not be in contact with the light box body 853. At this time, the light box body 853 is not connected to the air duct door 800, and the light box body 853 is in an open state on the air duct door 800.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the upper edge of the lightbox body 853 serves as the hinge area of ​​the lightbox body 853, and the upper edge of the lightbox body 853 is hinged to the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct via a second hinge member 854. The left, right, and lower edges of the lightbox body 853 can all serve as fixed areas of the lightbox body 853. Here, the lower edge of the lightbox body 853 is selected as the fixed area of ​​the lightbox body 853. Multiple clamping members 855 are evenly distributed along the lower edge of the lightbox body 853, and multiple second hinge members 854 are evenly distributed along the upper edge of the lightbox body 853.

[0061] It should be noted that the connection between the fixed area of ​​the light box and the air duct door 800 is not limited to a clamping member; other connectors capable of selective connection can also be selected. Specifically, the connector can provide two working states: one state connects the fixed area of ​​the light box to the air duct door 800, and the other state separates the fixed area of ​​the light box from the air duct door 800.

[0062] Optionally, the fixed area of ​​the light box and the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct can also be electromagnetically connected. In the energized state, the fixed area of ​​the light box is magnetically connected to the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct. In the de-energized state, the fixed area of ​​the light box is separated from the side of the air duct door 800 facing the air duct.

[0063] In another embodiment of this application, an automobile is also provided, including: a duct assembly as described above, the roof frame 100 being mounted on the roof wall of the vehicle body, and the side eaves frame 200 being mounted on the side wall of the vehicle body.
