[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive decorative parts, and in particular to a quick-release modular trim component for automotive air vent panels. Background Technology
[0002] In automotive interior design, existing air vent panel trim components have relatively limited functions, mostly serving only a decorative purpose. They are designed to match the overall style of the car's interior through diverse colors, materials, and shapes to enhance its aesthetics. However, with increased car usage frequency and extended usage time, dust accumulation is a common problem at the air vents.
[0003] Currently, the main method for cleaning dust from air vents is manual wiping. However, due to the narrow spacing between the fan blades in car air vents, conventional wiping tools cannot reach deep into the gaps between the blades. Even with small tools, the limited operating space makes it difficult to reach the back of the fan blades, corners, and other areas. This results in inefficient cleaning and difficulty in thoroughly removing dust, affecting the cleaning effect and potentially negatively impacting the air quality inside the vehicle and the normal use of the air vents.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a quick-release modular trim assembly for automotive air vent panels to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 A quick-release modular trim assembly for an automotive air vent panel includes an air vent 1, on which equidistant blades 2 are arranged, and an operating block 3 is arranged on the surface of the blades 2. The operating block 3 is U-shaped, and a wiping plate 5 that fits against the blades 2 is arranged on the surface of the operating block 3. A scraper 4 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped open end of the operating block 3.
[0022] Please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 5 The surface of the wiping plate 5 is fixedly connected to the insert plate 8, and the surface of the operating block 3 is provided with an insertion port 9. The groove cross section of the insertion port 9 and the cross section of the insert plate 8 are both L-shaped. The insert plate 8 and the insertion port 9 are interlocked. This structure allows the wiping plate 5 to be disassembled and cleaned independently, and it is easy to install. The opening of the insertion port 9 and the insertion direction of the insert plate 8 are opposite to the position of the scraper 4, which can prevent the wiping plate 5 from falling off when the operating block 3 is separated from the blade 2.
[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The operating block 3 includes a main connecting plate 31 and an upper and lower symmetrical adjusting plate 32. There are two wiping plates 5, which are attached to the opposite surfaces of the two adjusting plates 32. The main connecting plate 31 is located between the end faces of the two adjusting plates 32. The scraper 4 is located at the end of the adjusting plate 32 away from the main connecting plate 31. This structure allows the operating block 3 to present a classification state, has a range of motion, and adapts to the thickness range of the blade 2.
[0024] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 The main connecting plate 31 has an installation groove 33 inside. A bearing cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 33. A double-threaded rod 35 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bearing cylinder 34. Two guide ports 36 are opened on the side of the main connecting plate 31 facing the adjusting plate 32. A guide plate 37 is inserted into the inner wall of the guide port 36, and one end of the guide plate 37 is fixed to the surface of the adjusting plate 32. A threaded port 371 is opened on the surface of the guide plate 37 to be threadedly connected to the double-threaded rod 35. When the double-threaded rod 35 rotates, the distance between the two guide plates 37 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the relative distance between the two adjusting plates 32 to adapt to the thickness of the blade 2.
[0025] Please refer to the following: Figure 4The top end of the double-ended threaded rod 35 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 38 located on the top surface of the main connecting plate 31. The bottom end of the double-ended threaded rod 35 is fixedly connected to a fastening bolt 39 located on the bottom surface of the main connecting plate 31. The bottom end of the fastening bolt 39 is fixedly connected to a baffle 7. The outer surface of the fastening bolt 39 is threadedly connected to a fastening sleeve 6. When the double-ended threaded rod 35 rotates, the rotating block 38 can be rotated to operate it. When the rotation stops, the fastening sleeve 6 can be used to tighten the fastening bolt 39, thereby limiting the double-ended threaded rod 35. Under normal conditions, the fastening sleeve 6 can be fitted onto the surface of the fastening bolt 39. The baffle 7 is used to prevent the fastening sleeve 6 from falling off.
[0026] The working principle of the quick-release modular trim component for automotive air vent panels provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0027] Align the U-shaped opening of the operating block 3 with the blade 2, so that the wiping plate 5 fits against the surface of the blade 2. Hold the main connecting plate 31 and move it back and forth along the length of the blade 2. Use the wiping plate 5 to remove surface dust. When the operating block 3 moves to the end of the blade 2, pull the operating block 3 outward. At this time, the scraper 4 will scrape off the dust accumulated on the surface of the blade 2 for a second time. When it is necessary to clean other blades 2 separately, remove the operating block 3 and install it on other blades 2 to repeat the operation. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the operating block 3, rotate the rotating block 38 on the top surface of the main connecting plate 31 to drive the double-headed threaded rod 35 to rotate, so that the two guide plates 37 move towards or away from each other along the guide opening 36. Adjust the spacing of the two adjusting plates 32 to match the thickness of the blade 2. After adjustment, tighten the fastening sleeve 6 along the fastening bolt 39 until it touches the bottom surface of the main connecting plate 31. Use the baffle 7 to prevent the fastening sleeve 6 from falling off and lock the position of the adjusting plate 32.
