Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a car left foot air duct assembly includes: an air outlet 2, a connecting seat 3 fixedly connected to one end of the air outlet 2, and a snap-fit connecting device 4 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting seat 3.
[0026] The snap-fit connection device 4 includes a pressing member 5 and a connecting rod 7 that is slidably connected to the upper and lower ends of the connecting seat 3. One end of the connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the pressing member 5, and the pressing member 5 is rotatably connected to the support seat 6. The support seat 6 is fixedly installed on the connecting seat 3. The end of the connecting rod 7 away from the pressing member 5 is fixedly connected to a locking buckle 9. The upper end of the locking buckle 9 is fixedly connected to a spring 8. The spring 8 is sleeved on the connecting rod 7, and the end of the spring 8 away from the locking buckle 9 is fixedly installed on the connecting seat 3.
[0027] Thus, align the air duct assembly with the mounting position, push the connecting seat 3, and the locking buckle 9 will compress the spring 8 after being squeezed by the mounting position. At the same time, it will drive the connecting rod 7 to slide along the connecting seat 3. The pressing part 5 will rotate synchronously around the support seat 6. When the locking buckle 9 slides to the corresponding slot of the mounting position, the spring 8 will return to its original position, tighten the locking buckle 9 and lock it into the slot, thus completing the assembly fixation. Press the pressing part 5, and the pressing part 5 will rotate around the support seat 6 and pull the connecting rod 7. The connecting rod 7 will drive the locking buckle 9 to compress the spring 8 and disengage from the mounting position slot. At this time, you can directly pull the connecting seat 3 to remove the air duct assembly from the mounting position. The airflow is conducted through the inside of the connecting seat 3 and finally blows accurately to the left foot area of the car from the air outlet 2 fixed to the connecting seat 3, thus completing the basic air supply function.
[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, several evenly distributed air regulating plates 10 are rotatably connected inside the connecting seat 3, and an air plate connector 14 is rotatably connected to the other end of the air regulating plate 10; an air plate connecting pusher 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the air plate connector 14, and the air plate connecting pusher 13 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 3; a pusher 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the air plate connecting pusher 13 away from the air plate connector 14; an electric cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the pusher 11, and the electric cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the connecting seat 3.
[0029] Thus, the electric cylinder 12 starts after receiving the control signal, and pushes or pulls the fixed pusher 11 as needed. The pusher 11 drives the air vane connecting pusher 13 to slide smoothly along the preset trajectory of the connecting seat 3. The air vane connecting pusher 13 then transmits power synchronously to all the air regulating vanes 10 through the air vane connecting member 14. Several evenly distributed air regulating vanes 10 rotate synchronously under the drive of the air vane connecting member 14 and are adjusted to the preset angle. The electric cylinder 12 stops working, and the air regulating vanes 10 maintain the current angle. When the airflow passes through the inside of the connecting seat 3, it is guided by the air regulating vanes 10 and delivered with the set air volume and direction, and finally blown out from the air outlet 2.
[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an air outlet pipe 1 is provided at the other end of the connecting seat 3; a sliding groove 15 is provided at one end of the connecting seat 3, and a locking groove 16 is provided on one side of the sliding groove 15.
[0031] Thus, align the end of the air outlet pipe 1 with the sliding groove 15 and the locking groove 16 with the corresponding mating end of the connecting seat 3, ensuring that the sliding groove 15 is aligned with the fitting structure on the connecting seat 3. Push the air outlet pipe 1 so that it slides smoothly along the fitting structure of the connecting seat 3 through the sliding groove 15 until the air outlet pipe 1 and the connecting seat 3 are properly mated. At this time, the locking component on the connecting seat 3 corresponds to the position of the locking groove 16, completing the fixing of the air outlet pipe 1 and the connecting seat 3, and the two form a sealed air passage.
[0032] Thus, in this embodiment, as... Figures 1-4As shown, align the snap-fit connection device 4 of the air duct assembly with the corresponding installation position. The locking buckle 9 is compressed by the spring 8 and drives the connecting rod 7 to slide. The pressing part 5 rotates around the support seat 6. When the locking buckle 9 is engaged in the locking fixing groove 16 of the installation position, the spring 8 returns to its original position and presses against the locking buckle 9 to complete the fixation. When disassembling, press the pressing part 5 and pull the locking buckle 9 to compress the spring 8 out of the groove through the connecting rod 7, and the assembly can be removed. The electric cylinder 12 starts and pushes (or pulls) the pushing part 11, which drives the air plate connecting pushing part 13 to slide on the connecting seat 3. The air plate connecting pushing part 13 drives several evenly distributed air regulating plates 10 to rotate synchronously through the air plate connecting part 14, so as to realize the adjustment of the air outlet angle and air volume. After the electric cylinder 12 stops working, the air regulating plate 10 maintains the current angle and stably outputs air. The airflow enters from the air outlet 1, is adjusted by the air regulating plate 10 inside the connecting seat 3, and finally blows from the air outlet 2 to the left foot area of the car to complete the foot blowing.
