Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive air vent technology, specifically to an automotive air vent structure with a smooth paddle shifter. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, automotive air conditioning vents typically incorporate movable horizontal and vertical blades to adjust the direction of airflow. These blades are positioned on the inner and outer sides of the vent, respectively. The outer blades are adjusted by direct manipulation, while the inner blades require a linkage mechanism, such as a lever on the outer blade. Specifically, manipulating the lever slides along the outer blade, simultaneously pushing the inner blade with its inner end, causing it to rotate and adjust the direction. However, the positioning of the blades and levers in this structure relies on fixed friction between the components. This results in significant resistance when manipulating the levers, making the adjustment operation less smooth. Furthermore, the blades and levers are not always properly positioned and are easily displaced by airflow, leading to poor controllability of blade direction adjustment and unstable airflow guidance. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a car air vent structure with smooth paddle operation in order to solve the problems of high resistance when the paddle is turned, insufficient smoothness of adjustment operation, poor controllability of blade orientation adjustment, and unstable airflow guidance in the existing car air vent structure.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a car air vent structure with smooth paddle operation, comprising:
[0005] An outer frame has several horizontal blades inside and several vertical blades rotatably mounted inside the outer frame. A notch is provided on the outer side of the outer frame, and a linkage rod is provided on the outer side of the notch.
[0006] The paddle slides into the transverse blade via an inner groove, and a connecting port is provided laterally through the outer side of the inner groove. A clamping plate is arranged on the inner side of the paddle, clamping the linkage rod and extending into the notch.
[0007] The abutting positioning piece is elastically slidably disposed in the inner sliding groove, and the friction surface on its inner side corresponds to the transverse blade. An elastic element is disposed between the inner sliding groove and the abutting positioning piece.
[0008] A trigger block is movably disposed within the connection port and abuts against the outer surface of the abutment positioning piece. The connection port and the trigger block are provided with a locking structure for locking and positioning the trigger block.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The outer surface of the transverse blade is an outwardly convex arc shape, and the friction surface is concave and matches the outer surface of the transverse blade.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The rotating shaft, which is eccentrically positioned on the side of the trigger block, is rotatably connected to the rotating groove on the side of the connection port.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The locking structure includes protrusions and slots, with the protrusions on the trigger block engaging and positioning corresponding to the slots on the connection port.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The surface of the abutting positioning piece slides against the inner guide surface on the side of the inner groove.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The connection port is provided with a locking limit surface and an unlocking limit surface at both ends of the active path of the trigger block.
[0019] In summary, by adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0020] This utility model's automotive air vent structure, through the setting of a trigger block and abutment positioning piece, enables quick switching between the locking and unlocking states of the lever and the horizontal blades. This ensures smooth lever movement during air vent direction adjustment, and after adjustment, the blades and levers are firmly positioned, stabilizing the airflow guidance effect of the blades. This improves the convenience of adjustment operation and the stability of air vent guidance. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a car air vent structure with smooth paddle operation, comprising:
[0033] An outer frame 1 has several horizontal blades 2 inside it and several vertical blades 3 rotatably mounted inside the outer frame 1. A notch is provided on the outer side of the outer frame 1, and a linkage rod 4 is provided on the outer side of the notch.
[0034] The paddle 5 slides and engages with the transverse blade 2 through the inner groove 6. A connecting port 7 is provided laterally through the outer side of the inner groove 6. The clamping plate 8 is arranged on the inner side of the paddle 5, clamps the linkage rod 4 and extends into the notch.
[0035] The abutting positioning piece 9 is elastically slidably disposed in the inner sliding groove 6, and the friction surface on its inner side corresponds to the transverse blade 2. An elastic element 10 is disposed between the inner sliding groove 6 and the abutting positioning piece 9.
[0036] The trigger block 11 is movably disposed within the connection port 7 and abuts against the outer surface of the abutment positioning piece 9. The connection port 7 and the trigger block 11 are provided with locking structures for locking and positioning the trigger block 11.
[0037] The outer surface of the transverse blade 2 is an outwardly convex arc shape, and the friction surface is concave and matches the outer surface of the transverse blade 2. This increases the contact area between the transverse blade 2 and the abutment positioning piece 9, so that when the lever 5 is locked, a sufficiently large frictional force is formed between the transverse blade 2 and the abutment positioning piece 9 to ensure the stable positioning of the lever 5 and its mating blade, and to avoid displacement caused by airflow interference within the air outlet structure, thus preventing reduced controllability of blade orientation adjustment.
[0038] The rotating shaft 12, which is eccentrically positioned on the side of the trigger block 11, is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 13 on the side of the connection port 7. An eccentric wheel structure is used; by rotating and adjusting it, the abutting positioning piece 9 is pressed against the transverse blade 2, or the two are disengaged, thus switching the locking or unlocking state of the paddle 5. This ensures smooth paddle movement when the blade orientation needs adjustment, and after adjustment, stable positioning of the paddle 5 and the blade can be achieved.
[0039] The locking structure includes a protrusion 14 and a slot 15. The protrusion 14 on the trigger block 11 and the slot 15 on the connection port 7 are correspondingly engaged and positioned. Through the locking structure design of the protrusion 14 and the slot 15, convenient and quick locking or unlocking can be achieved, reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0040] The surface of the abutting positioning piece 9 slides against the inner guide surface 16 on the side of the inner groove 6 to further improve the stability of the abutting positioning piece 9.
[0041] The working principle of the smoothly operated car air vent structure according to this embodiment includes: when it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the vertical blade 3 to adjust the airflow direction of the vent, the trigger block 11 is rotated, causing the protrusion 14 to separate from the slot 15, thereby unlocking the vent. The abutment positioning piece 9 is then disengaged from the horizontal blade 2 by the elastic force of the elastic element 10. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5As shown, at this time, the lever 5 is unlocked, allowing it to slide on the horizontal blade 2. This causes the synchronously moving clamp 8 to push the linkage rod 4, thus rotating the vertical blade 3 within the air outlet structure. After adjustment, the trigger block 11 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the protrusion 14 to re-engage with the slot 15, positioning the trigger block 11. At this point, the trigger block 11 presses the abutment positioning piece 9 onto the horizontal blade 2. Through friction, the lever 5 is positioned on the horizontal blade 2, completing the blade orientation. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown. The structure of this car air vent allows for quick switching between the locking and unlocking states of the lever 5 and the transverse blade 2 through the setting of the trigger block 11 and the abutment positioning piece 9. This ensures that the lever 5 moves smoothly when adjusting the air vent direction, and that the blade and lever 5 are firmly positioned after adjustment, thus stabilizing the airflow guidance effect of the blade.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] Please see Figure 3-5 The figure shows a car air vent structure with smooth paddle movement provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: The connection port 7 is respectively provided with a locking limiting surface 17 and an unlocking limiting surface 18 at both ends of the active path of the trigger block 11. When the paddle 5 is unlocked, the trigger block 11 abuts against the unlocking limiting surface 18; when the paddle 5 is locked, the trigger block 11 abuts against the locking limiting surface 17. This ensures the stability of the structure after state switching, thereby improving operational convenience.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
