An airflow guide device for automotive air conditioning

Abstract

This utility model discloses an air outlet guiding device for automotive air conditioning, including a guide frame, a guide plate, and an air outlet frame. The guide frame is movably built into the opening of the air outlet frame, and the guide plate is rotatably connected inside the guide frame. A drop-out port is provided at the bottom of the air outlet frame, and a drop-out frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the air outlet frame corresponding to the drop-out port. A collection frame is movably inserted inside the drop-out frame, with its opening facing inwards towards the air outlet frame. This utility model, by setting up the drop-out port, drop-out frame, and collection frame, can effectively collect foreign objects entering from the air outlet, such as food scraps, dust, or small toy parts. These foreign objects fall into the collection frame through the drop-out port under gravity, preventing them from accumulating inside the device, thereby reducing bacterial growth and odor generation, improving the hygiene quality of the air outlet, and preventing foreign objects from getting stuck in precision components such as the guide plate, ensuring the stability of the air outlet direction control and extending the device's service life.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air outlet guide device for automotive air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] Air vent deflectors for automotive air conditioning are key components of the car's interior and air conditioning system, typically installed on the dashboard, center console, or roof. Their main function is to guide and distribute the airflow generated by the air conditioning system. By adjusting the opening and closing of the vents, the direction of airflow, and the air volume, they direct cooled or heated air to specific areas within the passenger compartment to meet the personalized needs of the driver and passengers regarding cabin temperature, airflow speed, and direction of airflow, thereby enhancing the comfort of the driving and riding environment.

[0003] However, existing air duct devices of this type typically have their air outlets facing directly towards the passenger or driver area. This design reveals obvious physical and technical defects in actual use. On the one hand, during driving, passengers (especially children) may eat or play inside the vehicle, and food scraps, small toy parts, and other foreign objects can easily fall into the air duct device through the open air outlet. On the other hand, dust, fibers, and other impurities in the daily environment can also enter the device deep inside with the airflow or by natural settling. Once these foreign objects and impurities enter, they are not only difficult to clean with regular wiping, but long-term accumulation can also breed bacteria, produce odors, pollute the air flowing through, and interfere with or even jam the internal damper blades and other precision adjustment mechanisms, leading to problems such as uncontrolled airflow direction and abnormal noise, seriously affecting the functionality, hygiene, and service life of the device.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an airflow guide device for automotive air conditioning is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide an airflow guide device for automotive air conditioning, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] An air outlet guide device for an automotive air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a guide frame, a guide plate, and an air outlet frame. The guide frame is movably built into the opening of the air outlet frame, and the guide plate is rotatably connected inside the guide frame. A drop-out opening is provided at the bottom of the air outlet frame, and a drop-out frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the air outlet frame corresponding to the position of the drop-out opening. A collection frame is movably inserted into the inside of the drop-out frame, and the opening of the collection frame is set facing the inside of the air outlet frame.

[0007] One end of the collection frame extends outside the drop frame, and a hand-pinching block is fixedly installed at the end of the collection frame that extends outside the drop frame.

[0008] A filter plate is fixedly installed inside the air outlet frame on the side of the collection frame away from the guide plate.

[0009] A first flexible positioning strip is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the drop frame, and a first positioning groove is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the collection frame corresponding to the position of the first flexible positioning strip. The first flexible positioning strip is movably engaged inside the first positioning groove.

[0010] The inner wall of the air outlet frame is fixedly installed with a second flexible positioning strip on both sides corresponding to the position of the air guide frame. The air guide frame is provided with a second positioning groove on both sides corresponding to the position of the second flexible positioning strip. The second flexible positioning strip is movably engaged inside the second positioning groove.

[0011] A limit frame is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air outlet frame.

[0012] The top and bottom of the inner wall of the air outlet frame are fixedly installed with limiting seats, and a pull rod is movably connected inside the limiting seats. Storage slots are opened at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the air outlet frame corresponding to the positions of the limiting seats, and the pull rod is movably placed inside the storage slots.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] By incorporating a drop outlet, a drop frame, and a collection frame, foreign objects entering from the air outlet, such as food scraps, dust, or small toy parts, can be effectively collected. These objects fall into the collection frame through the drop outlet under gravity, preventing them from accumulating inside the device. This reduces bacterial growth and odor, improves the hygiene quality of the airflow, and prevents foreign objects from getting stuck in precision components such as the air guide plate, ensuring the stability of the airflow direction control and extending the device's lifespan.

[0015] One end of the collection box extends to the outside of the drop box and is fixedly installed with a hand-pinching block, allowing users to easily and quickly pull out the collection box for cleaning without tools. This design simplifies the maintenance process, improves the convenience of daily cleaning, and is especially suitable for operation in the small space inside the vehicle, effectively solving the problem of difficult removal of foreign objects mentioned in the background technology.

[0016] Inside the air outlet frame, on the side of the collection frame away from the guide plate, a filter plate is fixedly installed. This further blocks dust, fibers, and other fine impurities from entering the depths of the device with the airflow, thus playing a secondary filtration role. This prevents pollutants from accumulating inside the air conditioning system, ensuring clean airflow. At the same time, it protects moving parts such as the guide plate from interference, maintaining the long-term reliable operation of the air outlet guide device. Attached Figure Description
