Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of air outlet structure, and in particular relates to an automotive air outlet structure. Background Technology
[0002] In early automotive air conditioning systems, the design of air vents was relatively simple and uniform. Typically, the airflow status and air volume adjustment of the entire air vent were linked, making it difficult to meet the personalized needs of passengers in different positions inside the vehicle. During long-distance driving or riding, a comfortable in-vehicle environment is crucial for alleviating fatigue. If the air vents cannot be individually adjusted according to individual needs, some passengers may experience discomfort due to airflow, affecting their riding experience. Therefore, a new automotive air vent structure is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a car air vent structure. By setting up a control component, specifically, a clockwise rotating ring drives a limiting ring to rotate within a limiting ring groove. When the ring rotates, its back side drives a gear to rotate, which in turn drives a rotating rod. The rotating rod then drives the fan blades, and the change in the gap between the fan blades adjusts the airflow of the air vent. Counterclockwise rotation of the ring horizontalizes the fan blades and closes the air vent. This device can adjust the individual airflow of the car's internal air vents, solving the problem that in early car air conditioning systems, the design of the air vents was relatively simple and uniform. Typically, the airflow status and airflow adjustment of the entire air vent were linked, making it difficult to meet the personalized needs of passengers in different positions within the vehicle.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a car air vent structure, including an air duct 111, which is used to exhaust airflow from the car's air conditioning system, and also includes:
[0036] Air outlet mechanism 2 is installed inside the air outlet duct 111. The air outlet mechanism 2 is used to adjust the size and direction of the airflow inside the air outlet duct 111.
[0037] The air outlet duct 111 has an installation plate 112 connected to the back of its outer surface, and an opening 113 on the front of its front.
[0038] The air outlet mechanism 2 includes a drive component 21, which abuts against the front of the air outlet 111. The drive component 21 provides a driving method for adjusting the airflow size.
[0039] Adjustment component 22 is installed inside the air outlet duct 111 and adjusts the direction of airflow discharge inside the air outlet duct 111.
[0040] The flow control component 23 is located on the back of the adjustment component 22. The flow control component 23 adjusts the airflow volume discharged from the air outlet 111 via the drive component 21.
[0041] Limiting component 24 is connected to adjusting component 22, and adjusting component 22 provides limiting and support for driving component 21.
[0042] The drive component 21 includes a rotating ring 211.
[0043] The back of the outer surface of the rotating ring 211 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the opening 113. A limiting ring groove 213 is opened on the outer surface of the air outlet duct 111. A limiting ring 212 is connected to the inner wall of the outer ring of the rotating ring 211. The outer surface of the limiting ring 212 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting ring groove 213. The back of the rotating ring 211 is toothed.
[0044] Among them, a number of gears 214 are provided on the back side inside the opening 113. The surfaces of the gears 214 are all arc-shaped, and the outer surfaces of the gears 214 mesh with the back side of the rotating ring 211.
[0045] The adjustment assembly 22 includes a knob 221, an eccentric wheel 222 connected to the back of the knob 221, a drive bracket 224 provided on the side of the eccentric wheel 222 away from the knob 221, a limit groove 225 provided on the side of the drive bracket 224 near the knob 221, and the side of the eccentric wheel 222 away from the knob 221 is connected to the drive bracket 224 through the limit groove 225.
[0046] The top and bottom of the drive bracket 224 are provided with sliding grooves 227, and the two sliding grooves 227 are slidably connected with fixing plates 226. The side of the two fixing plates 226 away from the drive bracket 224 is connected to the inner wall of the air outlet 111. The back of the drive bracket 224 has several limiting grooves 228 inside the protrusion. The side of the drive bracket 224 away from the eccentric wheel 222 has several grilles 223.
[0047] Several grilles 223 are connected to the interior of the air outlet 111 via pins at their internal centers. The side of each grille 223 closest to the drive bracket 224 is connected to the drive bracket 224 via a second limiting groove 228. When the knob 221 is turned, the eccentric wheel 222 rotates accordingly, driving the drive bracket 224 to move via the first limiting groove 225. The drive bracket 224 moves to the left or right via the sliding groove 227 and the fixing plate 226, and drives the grilles 223 to swing left and right via the second limiting groove 228, thereby adjusting the airflow direction in the air outlet 111, reducing the discomfort caused by direct airflow to passengers, and improving the riding comfort and practicality of the device.
[0048] The quantity control component 23 includes fan blades 231, and there are several fan blades 231. Several fan blades 231 are arranged on the back of the grid 223. A fixing block 232 is arranged on the corresponding side of several fan blades 231. A rotating rod 233 is connected inside each of the several fan blades 231.
[0049] Several rotating rods 233 pass through the fan blades 231 and extend into the opening 113. The outer surfaces of the rotating rods 233 are connected to the inside of the gear 214. The ends of the rotating rods 233 away from the gear 214 are connected to the inside of the fixed block 232. Rotating the rotating ring 211 clockwise causes the limiting ring 212 to rotate within the limiting ring groove 213. When the rotating ring 211 rotates, its back side drives the gear 214 to rotate. The gear 214 drives the rotating rods 233 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rods 233 drives the fan blades 231 to move. The change in the gap between the fan blades 231 can adjust the airflow of the air outlet 111. Rotating the rotating ring 211 counterclockwise can make the fan blades 231 horizontal and close the air outlet 111. This device can adjust the airflow of a single air outlet in the car to meet different passenger needs, improve passenger comfort, and enhance the practicality and user satisfaction of the car's air conditioning system.
[0050] The limiting component 24 includes a fixed bracket 241. The outer ring of the fixed bracket 241 is connected to the inner wall of the air outlet 111. The fixed bracket 241 is located on the front of the eccentric wheel 222. A limiting groove 242 is opened inside the fixed bracket 241. The inner wall of the limiting groove 242 contacts a limiting protrusion 243.
[0051] The inner part of the limiting protrusion 243 is connected to the outer surface of the knob 221.
[0052] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the air duct 111 is first installed in the car interior via the mounting plate 112. Then, during the use of the air duct 111, when the car is using air conditioning for cooling or heating, the occupants can adjust the airflow and opening / closing of each individual air duct 111 according to their own comfort. Specifically, this is achieved by rotating the rotating ring 211 clockwise. During the rotation of the ring 211, the limiting ring 212 rotates within the limiting ring groove 213. The limiting ring 212 and the limiting ring groove 213 enhance the stability of the rotating ring 211 during rotation. Simultaneously, the limiting ring groove 213 and the limiting ring 212 provide a certain supporting force to the rotating ring 211. Furthermore, the rotating ring 211 rotates within the opening 113 during its movement. During the rotation of the ring 211, its back side drives several gears 214 to rotate together. The rotation of these gears 214, in turn, drives several rotating rods 233. The system rotates, and several rotating rods 233 rotate inside the air outlet 111 and the fixing block 232. The fixing block 232 provides a certain support force for the rotating rods 233 through the air outlet 111. During the rotation of the rotating rods 233, several fan blades 231 will move together. During the rotation of the fan blades 231, the gap between the fan blades 231 will gradually increase, thereby adjusting the amount of airflow through the air outlet 111 and thus adjusting the airflow of the air outlet 111. If the rotating ring 211 is rotated counterclockwise, the fan blades 231 can be placed in a horizontal state. At this time, the airflow will not pass through the air outlet 111, thus achieving the effect of closing the air outlet 111. By adjusting the airflow of each individual air outlet 111 inside the car, the system can meet the different temperature sensitivities and needs of different passengers in the car, effectively improving the comfort of passengers in the entire car and greatly improving the practicality of the car air conditioning system and user satisfaction.
[0053] Meanwhile, while riding in the vehicle, passengers can adjust the airflow direction inside the air duct 111. Specifically, rotating the knob 221 drives the eccentric wheel 222 to rotate. During the rotation of the eccentric wheel 222, it drives the drive bracket 224 to move through the limiting groove 225. At the same time, the drive bracket 224 moves left or right through the sliding groove 227 and the fixing plate 226. During the movement of the drive bracket 224, it drives several grilles 223 to swing left or right through several limiting grooves 228. By adjusting the left and right swing of the grilles 223, the air duct 111 can be adjusted. The direction of the airflow from the internal airflow is reduced, minimizing the direct airflow onto passengers and reducing discomfort, thus improving ride comfort and the practicality of the device. When the knob 221 is turned, the limiting protrusion 243 moves within the limiting groove 242. Through the characteristics of the limiting groove 242 and the limiting protrusion 243, damping is generated when the knob 221 is turned, reducing the possibility of the knob 221 rotating due to airflow, thereby improving the stability of the grilles 223. At the same time, the fixed bracket 241 also provides a certain degree of support for the movement of the grilles 223.
