Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to an air outlet mechanism and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In vehicles with existing technology, the knob of the air outlet mechanism is slidably mounted on the blade along the rotation axis of the blade. There is damping between the knob and the blade. The damping is used to improve the operating feel when sliding the knob and can also prevent the knob from sliding accidentally.

[0003] Damping is typically sandwiched between the top of the blade and the toggle switch. In this structure, the blade, damping, and localized toggle switch are stacked from the top to the bottom of the blade. This stacking results in a larger overall size of the three components in the thickness direction of the air outlet mechanism (the thickness direction of the air outlet mechanism is perpendicular to the exposed air outlet surface of the air outlet mechanism, with the top of the blade with the toggle switch facing the air outlet surface of the air outlet mechanism and the bottom facing away from the air outlet surface of the air outlet mechanism). This makes the air outlet mechanism larger in the thickness direction, occupying a large amount of interior space, encroaching on the user's usability, and affecting the user experience.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] like Figures 1-11 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an air outlet mechanism for a vehicle's air conditioning system. This air outlet mechanism includes a first blade 100, a toggle assembly 200, and a damper 300.

[0032] The first blade 100 has two opposing air guide surfaces 110. The toggle assembly 200 includes a toggle 210 and a base 220 connected to the toggle 210. The toggle 210 is located on one side of one of the air guide surfaces 110. The base 220 is connected to the bottom 170 of the first blade 100. The toggle 210 and the base 220 are slidably connected to the first blade 100 along the first direction a.

[0033] Compared to technical solutions where only the dial 210 is slidably connected to the first blade 100 or only the base 220 is slidably connected to the first blade 100, in this embodiment, both the dial 210 and the base 220 are slidably connected to the first blade 100, so that the dial assembly 200 and the first blade 100 have two connection support points. Compared to a single connection support point, the double support points can largely limit the tendency of the dial assembly 200 to tilt, warp or rotate around the first blade 100 during sliding, so that the dial assembly 200 can slide smoothly and linearly along the first direction a, effectively preventing sliding jamming and making the operation of the dial assembly 200 smoother.

[0034] The damper 300 can be a rubber block, located between the toggle switch 210 and the first blade 100 along the direction from the toggle switch 210 to the first blade 100. The damper 300 is located on one of the toggle switch 210 and abuts against the other. Optionally, the damper 300 can be located on the first blade 100 and abut against the toggle switch 210. In this case, the damper 300 remains stationary during the sliding of the toggle switch 210, and there is sliding friction between the toggle switch 210 and the damper 300. Alternatively, the damper 300 can be located on the toggle switch 210 and abut against the first blade 100. During the sliding of the toggle switch 210, the damper 300 slides relative to the first blade 100 with the toggle switch 210 and has sliding friction with the first blade 100.

[0035] A damping 300 is provided between the first blade 100 and the dial 210, which can improve the operating feel when sliding the dial 210 and also prevent the dial 210 from sliding accidentally.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the toggle switch 210 and the damper 300 are located on the side of the air guide surface 110 of the first blade 100. The toggle switch 210, the damper 300, and the first blade 100 have no overlapping portions in the direction from the top 160 to the bottom 170 of the first blade 100, reducing the overall size of the three components in this direction and thus reducing the thickness of the air outlet mechanism. Therefore, the air outlet mechanism disclosed in this embodiment can solve the problem of excessive thickness in existing air outlet mechanisms.

[0037] It should be noted that the thickness direction of the air outlet mechanism is the second direction b. The air outlet mechanism has an air outlet surface 410. The top 160 of the first blade faces the air outlet surface 410 and the bottom 170 faces away from the air outlet surface 410. When the air outlet mechanism is installed in a vehicle, the air outlet surface 410 is exposed and is perpendicular to the second direction b.

[0038] In addition, the air outlet mechanism is provided with a plurality of first blades 100, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart (in this embodiment, they can be distributed along a third direction c). The knob 210 and the damper 300 are arranged on the side where the air guide surface 110 is located, so that the knob 210 and the damper 300 are located between two adjacent first blades 100. Since the two adjacent first blades 100 are already spaced apart, this embodiment does not need to increase the size of the plurality of first blades 100 in the arrangement direction.

[0039] There are various structures that allow the dial 210 and the base 220 to be slidably connected to the first blade 100 along the first direction a.

[0040] In one optional embodiment, the toggle switch 210 and the first blade 100 may each have a groove and a slider, respectively, with the slider and groove slidably engaging to achieve a sliding connection between the toggle switch 210 and the first blade 100. Similarly, the base 220 and the first blade 100 may each have a groove and a slider, respectively, with the slider and groove slidably engaging to achieve a sliding connection between the base 220 and the first blade 100. In this structure, after the toggle switch 210 and the base 220 are slidably connected to the first blade 100, they can be further connected by bolts or other connecting components to achieve a complete connection between the toggle switch 210 and the base 220.

[0041] In another alternative embodiment, one of the toggle switch 210 and the air guide surface 110 opposite to it may be provided with a plug-in portion 120 and the other may be provided with a slot 2112. For example, the plug-in portion 120 may be provided on the air guide surface 110 and the slot 2112 may be provided on the toggle switch 210. The plug-in portion 120 and the slot 2112 are plugged into each other and are slidably connected along the first direction a, thereby realizing the sliding connection between the toggle switch 210 and the first blade 100.

[0042] The base 220 may include a first connecting part 221, an intermediate connecting part 223, and a second connecting part 222 that are bent and connected in sequence. The first connecting part 221 and the second connecting part 222 are located on one side of the two air guide surfaces 110, and the first connecting part 221 and the second connecting part 222 clamp the first blade 100. The intermediate connecting part 223 is opposite to the bottom 170. In the second connecting part 222 and the air guide surface 110 opposite to it, one of them may be provided with a groove 130, and the other may be provided with a slider 225. The slider 225 extends into the groove 130 and can slide with the groove 130 along the first direction a, thereby realizing the sliding connection between the base 220 and the first blade 100.

[0043] In the dial 210 and the base 220, one can be provided with a slot 224 and the other can be provided with a buckle 214. For example, the slot 224 can be provided in the base 220 and the buckle 214 can be provided in the dial 210. The slot 224 and the buckle 214 are connected by a snap, and the snap direction of the slot 224 and the buckle 214, and the insertion direction of the slot 2112 and the insertion part 120 are both from the top 160 to the bottom 170 of the first blade 100.

[0044] During the assembly of the first blade 100 and the toggle assembly 200, the slider 225 can be installed into the slide groove 130 first, then the base 220 can be slid along the first direction a to below the insertion part 120, and then the toggle 210 can be snapped onto the base 220 along the direction from the top 160 to the bottom 170. Simultaneously, the insertion part 120 of the first blade 100 is inserted into the slot 2112 of the toggle 210, thus completing the snapping of the toggle 210 to the base 220 and the insertion of the toggle 210 to the first blade 100, thereby completing the assembly of the toggle 210, the base 220, and the first blade 100. This structure makes the assembly process of the toggle 210, the base 220, and the first blade 100 simple, convenient, and easy to operate.

[0045] Optionally, the air guide surface 110 may be provided with a groove 130, and the second connecting part 222 may be provided with a slider 225.

[0046] In one optional embodiment, along the first direction a, one end of the slide groove 130 can extend to the side of the first blade 110, so that when assembling the first blade 100 and the base 220, the slider 225 of the base 220 can extend from the side of the first blade 110 into the slide groove 130. In another optional embodiment, the slide groove 130 can be located at the middle of the first blade 100 along the first direction a. When assembling the first blade 100 and the base 220, an external force can be used to elastically deform the second connecting portion 222 to an angle that allows it to be inserted into the slide groove 130, and then the slider 225 can be placed into the slide groove 130, so that the base 220 can move along the slide groove 130. The slider 225 overlaps the slide groove 130. Along the direction from the knob 210 to the first blade 100, the dimension of the portion of the slider 225 that is mounted in the slide groove 130 is d, where d ≥ 1 mm, to prevent the slider 225 from coming out of the slide groove 130.

[0047] In the above description, the damper 300 is positioned between the toggle switch 210 and the first blade 100 along the direction from the toggle switch 210 to the first blade 100. In an optional embodiment, the plug-in portion 120 may protrude from the air guide surface 110. The plug-in portion 120 may be provided with a mounting groove 123, the opening of which may face the toggle switch 210. The damper 300 may be located in the mounting groove 123, extending beyond the mounting groove 123 and abutting against the bottom of the slot 2112. In this case, the plug-in portion 120 can both cooperate with the slot 2112 to achieve a sliding connection between the toggle switch 210 and the first blade 100 and provide mounting space for the damper 300, serving two purposes and simplifying the structure of the air outlet mechanism.

[0048] The damper 300 can be installed in the mounting groove 123 by interference fit. The two opposite ends of the damper 300 can respectively abut against the groove wall of the mounting groove 123 facing the dial 210 and the groove wall of the slot 2112 facing the mounting groove 123, so that the damper 300 slides and rubs against the dial 210 during the sliding process.

[0049] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the damper 300 can also be fixed to the air guide surface 110 and abut against the knob 210 by means of bonding or other methods.

[0050] The blades of the air outlet mechanism are typically adjustable in angle to change the air outlet direction. In one optional embodiment, the vehicle may be provided with an installation space for installing the air outlet mechanism, the installation space forming an air outlet channel. The first blade 100 can be rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the installation space via a first rotating shaft 140 around a first direction a, so as to be rotatably disposed within the air outlet channel.

[0051] In another optional embodiment, the air outlet mechanism may further include a housing 400 having an air outlet channel. The first blade 100 can be rotatably mounted on the housing 400 via a first pivot 140 about a first direction a, so as to be rotatably disposed in the air outlet channel. Applying external force to the dial 210 can drive the first blade 100 to rotate about the first direction a, thereby adjusting the air guide angle of the first blade 100. The vehicle may be provided with an installation space for installing the air outlet mechanism, and the housing 400 of the air outlet mechanism can be fixedly installed in the installation space of the vehicle. This structure facilitates the assembly of the air outlet mechanism with the vehicle.

[0052] As mentioned above, the air outlet mechanism may have multiple first blades 100, which can be linked together. When one of the first blades 100 rotates, the other first blades 100 move accordingly. The linkage structure of the multiple first blades 100 is prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0053] The air outlet mechanism may also include a second blade 500, which is rotatably disposed in the air outlet channel about a third direction c. The first direction a is different from the third direction c; for example, the first direction a may be perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the third direction c. The second blade 500 may be spaced apart from the first blade 100 along the second direction b. The first direction a, the second direction b, and the third direction c may be perpendicular to each other. As can be seen from the above, the air outlet mechanism has an air outlet surface 410. In the first blade 100 and the second blade 500, the first blade 100 is closer to the air outlet surface 410, and the second blade 500 is farther away from the air outlet surface 410.

[0054] In this case, both the first blade 100 and the second blade 500 can change the air outlet direction of the air outlet mechanism. For example, the first blade 100 can adjust the air outlet direction in the vertical direction, and the second blade 500 can adjust the air outlet direction in the horizontal direction. This structure upgrades the air outlet mechanism's control of airflow from "one-dimensional" to "two-dimensional", which can increase the air outlet range of the air outlet mechanism compared to an air outlet mechanism with only the first blade 100.

[0055] It should be noted that the first direction a is parallel to the rotation axis of the first blade 100 and is the length direction of the air outlet mechanism; the second direction b is the thickness direction of the air outlet mechanism. When the first blade 100 rotates around the first direction a to a specific position, the direction from the top 160 to the bottom 170 is parallel to the second direction b; the third direction c is parallel to the rotation axis of the second blade 500 and is the width direction of the air outlet mechanism.

[0056] The number of second blades 500 can also be multiple. Multiple second blades 500 can be distributed in parallel and at intervals. Multiple second blades 500 can be linked together. When one of the second blades 500 rotates, the other second blades 500 move accordingly. The linkage connection structure of multiple second blades 500 is prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0057] To adjust the angle of the second blade 500, the air outlet mechanism may include a drive component. This drive component may be located in the toggle assembly 200 and connected to the second blade 500. The drive component is used to drive the second blade 500 to rotate around a third direction c when the toggle assembly 200 moves along a first direction a. In this case, moving the toggle assembly 200 along the first direction a adjusts the angle of the second blade 500, and turning the toggle assembly 200 around the first direction a adjusts the angle of the first blade 100. In other words, the angles of the first blade 100 and the second blade 500 can be adjusted by operating the toggle assembly 200, eliminating the need for a dedicated adjustment structure for the second blade 500. This simplifies the structure of the air outlet mechanism and facilitates user operation.

[0058] The drive component has various structures. In one optional embodiment, the drive component may include a shift fork 600, which may be disposed on the base 220. The shift fork 600 has a shaft groove 610, and the second blade 500 has an eccentric shaft 510. The axis of the eccentric shaft 510 is parallel to the rotation axis of the second blade 500 and has a gap in the first direction a. The eccentric shaft 510 passes through the shaft groove 610. In this structure, the movement of the toggle assembly 200 along the first direction a can drive the shift fork 600 to move along the first direction a. The movement of the shift fork 600 along the first direction a can drive the second blade 500 to rotate around a third direction c through the eccentric shaft 510, thereby adjusting the angle of the second blade 500.

[0059] Optionally, the shift fork 600 can be rotatably mounted on the base 220 about a first direction a via a structure such as a pivot.

[0060] In another alternative embodiment, the driving component may include a sector gear and a rack. The sector gear can be fixedly connected to the second blade 500 by bolts or other connecting components, and the rack can be fixed to the base 220 by bolts or other connecting components. The gear and rack are meshed together. The toggle assembly 200 can move along the first direction a to drive the rack to move along the first direction a. The rack moving along the first direction a can drive the sector gear to rotate. The rotation of the sector gear can drive the second blade 500 to rotate around the third direction c, thereby adjusting the angle of the second blade 500.

[0061] The air outlet mechanism may also include a tick pin 700, which includes an elastic element 710 and a pin 720 connected thereto. The elastic element 710 may be a spiral spring or an elastic column or other elastic structural component. The insertion part 120 is provided with a receiving groove 124, and the tick pin 700 is provided in the receiving groove 124. One end of the elastic element 710 acts on the bottom of the receiving groove 124, and the other end is connected to the pin 720. At least a portion of the pin 720 extends out of the receiving groove 124 and abuts against the base 220. The elastic element 710 is used to press the pin 720 against the base 220.

[0062] Optionally, the elastic element 710 can abut against the bottom of the receiving groove 124, so that its elastic force acts on the bottom of the receiving groove 124; the elastic element 710 can also be connected to the bottom of the receiving groove 124 by means of bonding, interference fit connection, etc., so that its elastic force acts on the bottom of the receiving groove 124.

[0063] When assembling the first blade 100 and the toggle assembly 200, the tick pin 700 can be installed in the receiving groove 124 first, then the base 220 can be installed on the first blade 100 and moved below the insertion part 120, then the damper 300 can be installed in the receiving groove 124, and finally the toggle 210 can be installed.

[0064] In a further technical solution, the surface of the base 220 that contacts the pin 720 is provided with a recess. The toggle assembly 200 can move relative to the tick pin 700 when it moves along the first direction a. When the pin 720 moves into the recess, the second blade 500 is at the first angle and the air outlet channel is closed.

[0065] In this structure, when the toggle assembly 200 moves to the position where the second blade 500 is in the closed air outlet channel, the pin 720 slides from the flat area of ​​the base 220 into the recessed part under the action of the elastic element 710. This process is accompanied by the instantaneous release of elastic potential energy, causing the pin 720 to collide with the recessed part, producing a clear "click" sound. This sound serves as a clear gear signal, reminding the user that the air outlet channel is in the closed state.

[0066] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the angle of the second blade 500 and the state of the air outlet channel can be adjusted when the pin 720 moves into the recess by changing the position of the recess on the base 220.

[0067] In the above scheme, the first blade 100 and the toggle switch 210 are slidably connected by the sliding engagement of the plug-in portion 120 and the slot 2112. Specifically, the plug-in portion 120 can be provided on the first blade 100. The plug-in portion 120 includes a first part 121 and a second part 122. The first part 121 protrudes from the first blade 100 toward the toggle switch 210. The second part 122 is bent and connected to the first part 121. The second part 122 and the air guide surface 110 are parallel to each other, so that a first gap is formed between the second part 122 and the air guide surface 110. The slot 2112 is located on the toggle switch 210. A portion of the side wall of the slot 2112 facing the first blade 100 extends into the first gap and abuts against the air guide surface 110. Along the first direction a, the dimensions of the two opposite side walls of the slot 2112 are larger than the dimensions of the insertion part 120, so that the two opposite side walls of the slot 2112 can limit the insertion part 120 and prevent the toggle switch assembly 200 from moving excessively, which could damage the toggle fork 600 or the second blade 500.

[0068] In this structure, visually, the toggle switch 210 and the first blade 100 are designed to be spaced apart, creating the visual effect that the toggle switch 210 appears to be floating relative to the first blade 100. This can alleviate the bulkiness caused by the toggle switch 210 being too close to the first blade 100 and improve the user experience.

[0069] It should be noted that the parallel condition between the second part 122 and the air guide surface 110 means that they are parallel or approximately parallel. For example, the angle between the second part 122 and the air guide surface 110 can be less than 10°.

[0070] Along the direction from the top 160 to the bottom 170, the insertion part 120 extends into the slot 2112 by a dimension e, and the slot 2112 extends into the first gap by a dimension e, where e ≥ 4.3 mm. In this case, the insertion depth of the insertion part 120 and the slot 2112 can be guaranteed, and the insertion part 120 and the slot 2112 can have a large contact area. When the toggle assembly 200 is turned (when the toggle assembly 200 is turned, the first blade 100 rotates), the force applied to the toggle assembly 200 is distributed to a larger contact surface, avoiding stress concentration, reducing the risk of breakage or fatigue damage at the insertion root of the slot 2112 due to stress concentration, and extending the service life of the toggle 210.

[0071] The toggle switch 210 includes a connecting portion 211 and a head 212. The connecting portion 211 is connected to the first blade 100, and the head 212 is for the user to hold. In an optional embodiment, the connecting portion 211 and the head 212 can be a single integrated structure. In an optional embodiment, the connecting portion 211 and the head 212 can be detachably connected. In this case, the head 212 can be replaced according to the user's needs, improving the user experience.

[0072] The toggle switch 210 may also include a first decorative element 213, which is disposed on the head 212. Optionally, the first decorative element 213 and the head 212 may be an integral structure. Optionally, the first decorative element 213 may be detachably connected to both the head 212 and the connecting part 211. In this case, the first decorative element 213 can be replaced according to user needs, improving the user experience.

[0073] Optionally, the connecting portion 211 may be provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 2113, the head 212 may be provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion 2121, and the first decorative piece 213 may be provided with a third snap-fit ​​portion 2131. The number of first snap-fit ​​portions 2113 may be multiple. The head 212 may have a through hole, and the head 212 may be partially fitted onto the outer wall of the connecting portion 211. Part of the first snap-fit ​​portion 2113 may snap into the second snap-fit ​​portion 2121 to achieve a detachable connection between the head 212 and the connecting portion 211. The first decorative piece 213 may cover the outward-facing opening of the through hole in the head 212, and the third snap-fit ​​portion 2131 of the first decorative piece 213 may snap into part of the first snap-fit ​​portion 2113 to place the first decorative piece 213 on the head 212 and achieve a detachable connection between the first decorative piece 213 and the connecting portion 211 and the head 212.

[0074] In addition, at least part of the head 212 is fitted onto the outer wall of the connecting part 211. This design makes the outer contour of the head 212 larger than the outer contour of the connecting part 211, which helps the dial 210 itself to form a stepped structure. When the dial 210 is turned to the extreme position, the length of the dial 210 (the dimension from the top 160 to the bottom 170 of the dial 210) is reduced visually, improving the visual effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0075] Optionally, the toggle switch 210, the first blade 100, and the base 220 can all be dark-colored, such as dark gray or black. Optionally, the head 212 and the first decorative element 213 can be light-colored, such as white or silver, while the connecting part 211 can be dark-colored, such as dark gray or black, and the surface of the connecting part 211 can have a leather-textured design (a specific textured pattern formed on the surface of the connecting part 211 through processes such as chemical etching or laser engraving). Optionally, the head 212 and the first decorative element 213 can be surface-treated using processes such as spray painting or electroplating.

[0076] The connecting part 211 includes a rod 2111 and a slot 2112. The rod 2111 is connected to the side wall of the slot 2112 facing away from the first blade 100, so that the rod 2111 and the first blade 100 have a second gap in the direction from the knob 210 to the first blade 100. The top of the first blade 100 is provided with a second decorative element 800, which rotates with the rotation of the first blade 100. Along the direction from the top 160 to the bottom 170, the distance between the second decorative element 800 and the slot 2112 is f, where f ≥ 13mm. This structure helps to weaken the visibility of the step between the rod 2111 and the slot 2112, highlighting the floating effect of the knob 210. The rod 2111 and the side wall of the slot 2112 facing the first blade 100 are connected by a curved structure 215, which can further weaken the visual step surface.
