[0040] The housing 11 includes an air inlet side 14, an air outlet side 15 and an air cavity 16. The cold air or hot air generated by the vehicle's heat exchanger can enter the air cavity 16 of the vehicle's air conditioning air distribution device 10 through the air inlet side 14, and be discharged from the vehicle's air conditioning air distribution device 10 through the air outlet side 15 and enter various locations inside the vehicle. The air inlet side 14 is used to introduce cold air and / or hot air into the air cavity 16. In some embodiments, the air inlet side 14 is provided with an air inlet 17. Cold air and / or hot air can be introduced into the air cavity 16 through the air inlet 17. The air inlet 17 includes a first air inlet 18 and a second air inlet 19. The first air inlet 18 and the second air inlet 19 can be the same size. The first air inlet 18 is used to connect the air cavity 16 with the cold air inlet area, and the second air inlet 19 is used to connect the air cavity 16 with the hot air inlet area. Cold air can be introduced into the air cavity 16 through the first air inlet 18 , and hot air can be introduced into the air cavity 16 through the second air inlet 19 .

[0041] Referring primarily to FIG2 , in some embodiments, the air outlet side 15 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 20 , which are connected to the air cavity 16 . The plurality of air outlets 20 include a plurality of front air outlets 21 and a plurality of rear air outlets 22 (as shown in FIG1 ). The front air outlets 21 are used for blowing air to the front row of the vehicle interior. The rear air outlets 22 are used for blowing air to the rear row of the vehicle interior. The air cavity 16 includes a front air cavity 23 and a rear air cavity 24 , which are separately arranged. The front air cavity 23 is connected to the front air outlet 21 and the air inlet 17 , and cold air and / or hot air can be introduced into the front air cavity 23 through the air inlet 17 . The rear air cavity 24 is connected to the rear air outlet 22 and the air inlet 17 , and cold air and / or hot air can be introduced into the rear air cavity 24 through the air inlet 17 . Thus, blowing air to the front row of the vehicle interior or blowing air to the rear row of the vehicle interior can be achieved separately. In some embodiments, the front air chamber 23 includes a left front air chamber 25 and a right front air chamber 26 that are separately arranged. The rear air chamber 24 includes a left rear air chamber 27 and a right rear air chamber 28 that are separately arranged. The left rear air chamber 27 and the right rear air chamber 28 are arranged on opposite sides of the front air chamber 23.

[0042] Referring primarily to FIG4 , in some embodiments, the plurality of air outlets 20 include a plurality of front-facing air outlets 29, which in turn include comfort air outlets 30.

The air outlet side 15 includes a first surface 31 and a second surface 32, wherein the first surface 31 is connected to the air inlet side 14, and the second surface 32 is connected to the first surface 31. The comfort air outlet 30 is disposed on the first surface 31 near the second surface 32, so that the comfort air outlet 30 can face upward toward the front row of the vehicle interior.

[0043] In some embodiments, the shell 11 includes a first air guide portion 33 that extends obliquely outward from the edge of the comfort air vent 30 and in a direction away from the air inlet side 14. When the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 is applied to a vehicle, the first air guide portion 33 extends obliquely upward from the edge of the comfort air vent 30 in the direction of the vehicle cockpit. The surface of the first air guide portion 33 close to the air inlet side 14 can be parallel to the front windshield of the vehicle. In this way, the wind blown out from the comfort air vent 30 may not blow directly towards the user's head, but may blow obliquely upward to the interior of the vehicle, thereby improving the user's comfort. One end of the first air guide portion 33 can be connected to the outer surface of the shell 11, and the other end is provided with a first opening 34 for blowing air into the interior of the vehicle. The shape of the first opening 34 can be square, and the air output can be larger.

[0044] In some embodiments, the plurality of front-facing air vents 29 include a plurality of front-facing air vents 35.

The rear foot air vents 47 may be provided near the third surface 45 on the side surface 112. The rear foot air vents 47 may correspond to the foot space in the rear passenger area of ​​the vehicle. The provision of the rear foot air vents 47 may quickly reduce the perceived temperature of the rear seat user's feet, thereby improving the user's comfort. The number of the rear foot air vents 47 may be two, and the two rear foot air vents 47 include a left rear foot air vent 52 and a right rear foot air vent 53. The left rear foot vent 52 can be set corresponding to the left rear seat of the vehicle, and the right rear foot vent 53 can be set corresponding to the right rear seat of the vehicle. The rear face vent 46 is set on the first surface 31. The rear face vent 46 can correspond to the rear seating area inside the vehicle and can quickly lower or raise the perceived temperature of the upper body of the rear seat user, providing a better temperature regulation effect. The number of rear face vents 46 can be two, including the left rear face vent 50 and the right rear face vent 51. The left rear face vent 50 can be set corresponding to the left rear seat of the vehicle, and the right rear face vent 51 can be set corresponding to the right rear seat of the vehicle.

[0049] In some embodiments, the left rear face air vent 50 and the right rear face air vent 51 are disposed on opposite sides of the plurality of front air vents 21. The left rear foot air vent 52 and the right rear foot air vent 53 are disposed on opposite sides of the plurality of front air vents 21. This makes the structure more compact and saves space.

[0050] In some embodiments, the plurality of air vents 20 include a defrost air vent 54, which is disposed on the first surface 31 near the air inlet side 14. The defrost air vent 54 can deliver hot air into the vehicle interior and the front windshield to effectively remove ice, snow and fog.

[0051] In some embodiments, the housing 11 includes a third air guide portion 55 extending from an edge of the defrost air outlet 54 in a direction away from the third surface 45. The length of the third air guide portion 55 near the comfort air outlet 30 is shorter than the length of the third air guide portion 55 away from the comfort air outlet 30. When the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 is used in a vehicle, the defrost air outlet 54 can be directed toward the front windshield of the vehicle, thereby more effectively clearing ice, snow, and fog from the front windshield.

[0052] In some embodiments, the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 includes at least the following modes: a defrost mode, a face blowing mode, a face blowing and foot blowing mode, a foot blowing mode, and a foot blowing and defrost mode.

[0053] When in defrost mode, the defrost air vents 54 can be fully opened, and the remaining air vents 20 are closed. When in face-blowing mode, the front face-blowing air vents 29 and the rear face-blowing air vents 46 can be opened, and the remaining air vents 20 are closed. After the temperature stabilizes, the air volume of the front direct-face air vents 35 can be reduced, and the air volume of the comfort air vents 30 can be increased. When in face-blowing and foot-blowing mode, the front air vents 21 and the rear air vents 22 can be opened, and the defrost air vents 54 are closed. When in foot-blowing mode, the front foot-blowing air vents 44 and the rear foot-blowing air vents 47 can be opened, and the remaining air vents 20 are closed.

[0055] The driving assembly 13 is connected to the wind shield structure 56 and is used to drive the wind shield structure 56 to rotate. Thereby, the wind shield structure 56 can be switched between a state of completely shielding the air outlet 20 and a state of partially shielding the air outlet 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, the windshield structure 56 includes a main body 57 and a sealing portion 48 arranged around the edge of the main body 57 (as shown in Figure 6). The drive assembly 13 can be connected to the main body 57 to drive the windshield structure 56 to rotate. The windshield structure 56 can be square, fan-shaped, or other shapes, which are not limited in this application. The sealing portion 48 can be extended outward from the edge of the main body 57 in a direction roughly parallel to the surface of the main body 57 (as shown in Figure 6). The sealing portion 48 can also be protruded outward from the edge of the main body 57 in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the main body 57 (as shown in Figure 8). The edge of the sealing portion 48 extending outward in a direction roughly parallel to the surface of the main body 57 can be a serrated shape.

[0057] Referring primarily to FIG. 4 , in some embodiments, a baffle 58 is provided, projecting inward from the edge of the air outlet 20 toward the center of the air outlet 20. The baffle 58 includes a first baffle 59 and a second baffle 60, arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the windshield structure 56. A main body 57 located on one side of the rotation axis of the windshield structure 56 is disposed on the outside of the first baffle 59, while a main body 57 located on the other side of the rotation axis of the windshield structure 56 is disposed on the inside of the second baffle 60. The outside of the first baffle 59 may refer to the side of the first baffle 59 facing the housing 11. The inside of the second baffle 60 may refer to the side of the second baffle 60 facing the air cavity 16. The baffle 58 can limit the rotation direction of the windshield structure 56 and determine the angle between the windshield structure 56 and the baffle 58, thereby determining the opening degree of the windshield structure 56. Furthermore, the baffle 58 can enhance the sealing effect of the air outlet 20 and prevent air leakage.

[0058] In some embodiments, the inner surface of the shell 11 is recessed to provide a guide groove 61. The windshield structure 56 is rotatably disposed in the guide groove 61. The guide groove 61 includes a bottom surface 62 and a plurality of side surfaces 63 connected to the bottom surface 62. The plurality of side surfaces 63 include a first side surface 64 connected to the baffle 58 and a second side surface 65 connected to the first side surface 64. The shape of the second side surface 65 can be an arc. When the windshield structure 56 rotates, the sealing portion 48 can be pressed against the second side surface 65. The guide groove 61 is arranged in this way to facilitate the rotation of the windshield structure 56 and can play a role in rotational guidance. At the same time, the sealing portion 48 can be used to seal the side of the windshield structure 56 to prevent air leakage from the side of the windshield structure 56, so that the air output of the air outlet 20 can be controlled by rotating the windshield structure 56.

[0059] Figure 5 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the front-blowing surface damper assembly 66 and the front-blowing surface drive assembly 71 of the vehicle air-conditioning air distribution device 10 of the present application in one direction. Figure 6 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the front-blowing surface damper assembly 66 and the front-blowing surface drive assembly 71 shown in Figure 5 after removing the fixing bracket 86 in another direction. Figure 7 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the rotating disk 67 of the front-blowing surface damper assembly 66 in the vehicle air-conditioning air distribution device 10 of the present application. Referring to Figures 5 to 7, in some embodiments, the number of damper assemblies 12 is multiple, and the multiple damper assemblies 12 include the front-blowing surface damper assembly 66. The front-blowing surface damper assembly 66 includes a rotating disk 67, multiple front-blowing surface connecting rod mechanisms 68, and multiple front-blowing surface wind shielding structures 69 rotatably arranged on the housing 11 (as shown in Figure 1). The plurality of damper assemblies 12 include a front-facing damper assembly 66, which includes a plurality of windshield structures 56 rotatably mounted on the housing 11. The front-facing damper assembly 66 includes a plurality of front-facing windshield structures 69 rotatably mounted on the housing 11. The front-facing windshield structures 69 are disposed corresponding to the front-facing air outlets 29 (as shown in FIG. 1 ). The front-facing windshield structures 69 can partially or completely block the front-facing air outlets 29.

[0060] The rotating disk 67 is provided with a plurality of rotating grooves 70 extending circumferentially thereof and having an uneven inner wall. The plurality of rotating grooves 70 may be distributed radially along the rotating disk 67. In this embodiment, there are three rotating grooves 70. The rotating disk 67 may be disc-shaped. One end of the front-blowing surface linkage mechanism 68 is movably disposed within the rotating groove 70, and the other end is connected to the rotation axis of the front-blowing surface windshield structure 69 to enable the front-blowing surface windshield structure 69 to swing.

[0061] There are multiple drive assemblies 13, each of which includes a front-facing drive assembly 71. Each front-facing drive assembly 71 includes a front-facing drive structure 72. The front-facing drive structure 72 can be a motor. The output end of the front-facing drive structure 72 is connected to the rotating disk 67 for driving the rotating disk 67 to rotate. In some embodiments, the output end of the front-facing drive structure 72 is connected to the center of the rotating disk 67, thereby facilitating the transmission of motion to the front-facing windshield structure 69 via the front-facing linkage 68. The front-facing drive structure 72 can drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate, allowing one end of the front-facing linkage 68 to move within the uneven rotation groove 70 on the inner wall, thereby moving the other end of the front-facing linkage 68 and thereby causing the front-facing windshield structure 69 to swing. The rotating disk 67 is provided with multiple rotation grooves 70. Thus, by driving the rotating disk 67 to rotate, one end of each of the front-facing linkages 68 can be driven to move, thereby causing the multiple front-facing windshield structures 69 to swing. Only one front blowing surface driving structure 72 may be provided to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate, so as to realize the swinging of multiple front blowing surface wind shielding structures 69 , thus saving costs.

[0062] In some embodiments, the plurality of front-blowing windshield structures 69 include a first front-blowing windshield structure 73 corresponding to the front positive-blowing air outlet 39, a second front-blowing windshield structure 74 corresponding to the comfort air outlet 30, and a third front-blowing windshield structure 75 corresponding to the front center-blowing air outlet 38. The plurality of rotation slots 70 include a first rotation slot 76, a second rotation slot 77, and a third rotation slot 78 (as shown in FIG. 7 ) that are sequentially distributed radially inwardly along the rotating disk 67. The first front-blowing windshield structure 73 is connected to the first rotation slot 76, the second front-blowing windshield structure 74 is connected to the second rotation slot 77, and the third front-blowing windshield structure 75 is connected to the third rotation slot 78. This allows the first front-blowing surface windshield structure 73, the second front-blowing surface windshield structure 74, and the third front-blowing surface windshield structure 75 to have different displacements within the rotating slot 70. This allows the first front-blowing surface windshield structure 73, the second front-blowing surface windshield structure 74, and the third front-blowing surface windshield structure 75 to swing at different angles when the output end of the front-blowing surface drive structure 72 rotates, thereby causing different airflow volumes from the front front-blowing surface air outlet 39, the front center-blowing surface air outlet 38, and the comfort air outlet 30. This simple structure allows for different air distribution conditions, providing a good user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first front windshield structure 73 and the second front windshield structure 74 rotate in different directions, while the first front windshield structure 73 and the third front windshield structure 75 rotate in the same direction. As shown in FIG4 , the comfort air vents 30 are located on the first surface 31, while the front front windshield vents 39 and the front center windshield vents 38 are located on the second surface 32. Taking the second front windshield structure 74 as an example, one side of the second front windshield structure 74 is closer to the second surface 32 than the other side. The other side of the second front windshield structure 74 rotates toward the second surface 32. This allows the openings exposed by the first, second, and third front windshield structures 73, 74, and 75 after rotation to face the air inlet side 14, allowing the first, second, and third front windshield structures 73, 74, and 75 to guide the airflow from the front windshield 29.

[0064] In some embodiments, the plurality of front windshield structures 69 include a left front windshield structure 79 and a right front windshield structure 80. The number of rotating disks 67 is at least two, and the at least two rotating disks 67 include a left rotating disk 81 and a right rotating disk 82. The left front windshield structure 79 is connected to the left rotating disk 81, and the right front windshield structure 80 is connected to the right rotating disk 82. In this way, the rotation of the left rotating disk 81 and the right rotating disk 82 can be controlled separately to achieve the swinging of the left front windshield structure 79 and the right front windshield structure 80, respectively, thereby achieving separate control of the front left space and the front right space in the vehicle interior, providing a good user experience.

[0065] Referring primarily to Figures 6 and 5 , in some embodiments, the first front-facing windshield structure 73 includes a main body 83 and a sealing portion 84 disposed around the edge of the main body 83. The main body 83 is provided with an air inlet 85. Thus, when the first front-facing windshield structure 73 completely blocks the front front-facing air outlet 39, air can still be blown out through the air inlet 85, ensuring ventilation within the vehicle.

[0066] In some embodiments, the front-facing damper assembly 66 includes a fixed bracket 86. The front-facing linkage mechanism 68 includes a first front-facing linkage 87 and a second front-facing linkage 88. The first front-facing linkage 87 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 86. The first front-facing linkage 87 can rotate relative to the fixed bracket 86. The first end of the first front-facing linkage 87 is movably disposed within the rotation slot 70 and can move within the rotation slot 70. The second end of the first front-facing linkage 87 is connected to the first end of the second front-facing linkage 88, and the second end of the second front-facing linkage 88 is connected to the rotation axis of the front-facing windshield structure 69. In this way, the front-facing drive structure 72 can drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate, so that the first end of the first front-facing linkage 87 can move within the uneven inner wall of the rotation slot 70, thereby driving the second front-facing linkage 88 to move, thereby achieving the swinging of the front-facing windshield structure 69. The implementation method is simple and highly operable.

[0067] In some embodiments, the fixed bracket 86 includes a first fixed bracket 89 and a second fixed bracket 90 connected to the first fixed bracket 89. The rotating disk 67 and the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 are located between the first fixed bracket 89 and the second fixed bracket 90. The first fixed bracket 89 is used to fix the front blowing surface drive structure 72. The output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 can pass through the first fixed bracket 89 and connect to the rotating disk 67. The second front blowing surface connecting rod 88 can be closely attached to the surface of the second fixed bracket 90. This arrangement makes the structure more compact and prevents external structures from interfering with the movement of the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 includes a main body 91 and a raised portion 92 connected to the main body 91 and located at the first end of the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87. The raised portion 92 is movably restrained within the rotation groove 70. This facilitates the movement of the first end of the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 within the uneven inner wall of the rotation groove 70.

[0069] In some embodiments, the fixing bracket 86 is provided with a limiting groove 93 (as shown in FIG5 ) that extends in an arc shape and passes through the fixing bracket 86 . The limiting groove 93 is provided on the second fixing bracket 90 . The second front blowing surface connecting rod 88 includes a main body 94 and a protrusion 95 (as shown in FIG6 ) connected to the main body 94 and located at the first end of the second front blowing surface connecting rod 88 . The protrusion 95 passes through the limiting groove 93 and is connected to the second end of the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 . The protrusion 95 is movably limited in the limiting groove 93 . The provision of the limiting groove 93 can limit the displacement of the protrusion 95 , thereby limiting the swing amplitude of the front blowing surface windshield structure 69 .

[0070] In some embodiments, the main body 91 is provided with a protruding elastic protrusion 96, and the second fixing bracket 90 is provided with a protruding mating portion 97. The mating portion 97 is provided with a connected rotational mating hole 98, and the elastic protrusion 96 is rotatably and elastically engaged with the rotational mating hole 98. In this way, while ensuring that the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 can rotate relative to the fixing bracket 86, the position of the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 can be restricted, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0071] In some embodiments, the main body 91 includes a first portion 99, a second portion 100, and a first bent portion 101. The first portion 99 and the second portion 100 are connected by the first bent portion 101. The first portion 99 is arranged closer to the second fixing bracket 90 than the second portion 100. In this way, the distance between the second end of the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 and the first end of the second front blowing surface connecting rod 88 can be arranged closer, so that the relative movement of the first front blowing surface connecting rod 87 and the second front blowing surface connecting rod 88 is more stable.

[0072] In some embodiments, the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 includes a controller (not shown). The front blowing surface drive structure 72 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 according to the mode selection signal to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate from the initial angle to the corresponding angle. This allows the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 to rotate at different angles in different modes, so that the swing angles of the front blowing surface windshield structures 69 located in different rotating slots 70 are different, thereby making the air output of multiple front blowing surface air outlets 29 different. In this way, the structure is simple and different air distribution conditions can be achieved, and the user experience is good.

[0073] In some embodiments, if the temperature change obtained by the controller does not exceed the set temperature within the set time, the controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 according to the mode selection signal to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate from the initial angle to the corresponding angle. The temperature change obtained by the controller refers to the temperature change inside the vehicle obtained by the temperature sensor provided inside the vehicle. In this embodiment, if the temperature change obtained by the controller does not exceed 0.5°C within two minutes, the controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 according to the mode selection signal to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate. In this way, after the temperature inside the vehicle remains stable, the rotating disk 67 can be driven to rotate to adjust the swing angles of the multiple front blowing surface windshield structures 69.

[0074] In some embodiments, if the corresponding angle is less than the set angle, the opening of the second front-blowing surface windshield structure 74 gradually increases, while the opening of the third front-blowing surface windshield structure 75 gradually decreases. This allows the airflow from the front-center blowing vents 38 to be reduced after the temperature stabilizes, while the airflow from the comfort vents 30 is increased. The airflow from the comfort vents 30 is used to maintain the interior temperature of the vehicle, preventing the airflow from the comfort vents 30 from directly hitting the user, thereby improving the user experience. The set angle can range from 140° to 150°.

[0075] In some embodiments, the controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 according to the first mode signal to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate from the initial angle to the first angle. The controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 according to the second mode signal to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate from the initial angle to the second angle. The first angle is different from the second angle. In this embodiment, the first mode signal can represent the full blowing surface mode, and the second mode signal can represent the blowing surface and blowing feet mode. The first angle is smaller than the second angle. In this way, under different working modes, the angles of rotation of the rotating disk 67 are different, so that the swing angles of the multiple front blowing surface windshield structures 69 are different, which can adapt to different working modes and adjust the air outlet of multiple front blowing surface air outlets, so that the user experience is good.

[0076] In some embodiments, if the controller first detects that the temperature change does not exceed the set temperature, the controller is configured to control the output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 to rotate according to the mode selection signal to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate from the initial angle to the first angle. If the controller second detects that the temperature change does not exceed the set temperature, the controller is configured to control the output end of the front blowing surface drive structure 72 to rotate according to the mode selection signal to drive the rotating disk 67 to rotate from the first angle to a third angle. The third angle is greater than the first angle and less than the set angle. When the rotating disk 67 is at the third angle, the front middle blowing surface air outlet 38 can be closed.

[0077] Figure 8 is a perspective schematic diagram of the rear-blowing damper assembly 102 and rear-blowing drive assembly 143 in the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 shown in Figure 1 , viewed from one direction. Figure 9 is a perspective schematic diagram of the rear-blowing damper assembly 102 and rear-blowing drive assembly 143 shown in Figure 8 , viewed from another direction. Referring to Figures 8 and 9 , in some embodiments, the plurality of damper assemblies 12 include a rear-blowing damper assembly 102. The rear-blowing damper assembly 102 includes a rotating disk 103, multiple rear-blowing linkage mechanisms 104, and multiple rear-blowing windshield structures 105 rotatably mounted on the housing 11. The plurality of damper assemblies 12 include the rear-blowing damper assembly 102, which includes multiple windshield structures 56 rotatably mounted on the housing 11. The rear-blowing damper assembly 102 includes multiple rear-blowing windshield structures 105 rotatably mounted on the housing 11. The rear-blowing windshield structures 105 are disposed corresponding to the rear-blowing air outlets 22. The rear air-blowing wind shielding structure 105 can partially or completely block the rear air-blowing port 22 .

[0078] The rotating disk 103 is provided with a plurality of rotating grooves 106 extending circumferentially thereof and having an uneven inner wall. The plurality of rotating grooves 106 can be distributed radially along the rotating disk 103. In this embodiment, there are two rotating grooves 106. The rotating disk 103 can be disc-shaped. One end of the rear-blowing connecting rod mechanism 104 is movably disposed within the rotating groove 106, and the other end of the rear-blowing connecting rod mechanism 104 is connected to the rotation axis of the rear-blowing windshield structure 105 to enable the rear-blowing windshield structure 105 to swing.

[0079] The multiple drive assemblies 13 include a rear-blowing drive assembly 143, which includes a rear-blowing drive structure 107. The rear-blowing drive structure 107 can be a motor. The output end of the rear-blowing drive structure 107 is connected to the rotating disk 103 to drive the rotating disk 103 to rotate. In some embodiments, the output end of the rear-blowing drive structure 107 is connected to the center of the rotating disk 103. This facilitates the rotation of the rotating disk 103. The rear-blowing drive structure 107 can drive the rotating disk 103 to rotate, so that one end of the rear-blowing connecting rod mechanism 104 can move within the uneven rotation groove 106 on the inner wall, thereby moving the other end of the rear-blowing connecting rod mechanism 104, thereby achieving the swing of the rear-blowing windshield structure 105. Only one rear-blowing drive structure 107 can be provided to drive the rotating disk 103 to rotate, thereby achieving the swing of multiple rear-blowing windshield structures 105, thereby saving costs.

[0080] In some embodiments, the plurality of rear-blowing windshield structures 105 include a rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 corresponding to the rear-blowing face air outlet 46 and a rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 corresponding to the rear-blowing foot air outlet 47. The plurality of rotating slots 106 include a first rotating slot and a second rotating slot distributed in sequence along the radial inward direction of the rotating disk 103. The rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 is connected to the first rotating slot, and the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 is connected to the second rotating slot. In this way, the displacements of the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 and the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 within the rotating slot 106 can be different, so that when the rear-blowing driving structure 107 rotates, the swing angles of the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 and the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 are different, thereby making the air output of the rear-blowing face air outlet 46 and the rear-blowing foot air outlet 47 different. In this way, the structure is simple and different air distribution conditions can be achieved, and the user experience is good.

[0081] In some embodiments, the rear foot windshield structure 109 includes a main body 110 and a sealing portion 111 disposed around the edge of the main body 110. The sealing portion 111 presses against the inner edge of the rear foot air vent 47, thereby preventing air leakage from the rear foot air vent 47. In some embodiments, the main body 110 of the rear foot windshield structure 109 is fan-shaped.

[0082] In some embodiments, the large surface of the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 on which the rotation axis is provided is perpendicular to the large surface of the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 on which the rotation axis is provided. In this way, the rotation of the rear-blowing driving structure 107 can drive the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 and the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 to swing, thereby simultaneously adjusting the air volume of the rear-blowing foot air outlet 47 on the side surface 112 (as shown in FIG. 1 ) and the rear-blowing face air outlet 46 on the first surface 31, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0083] In some embodiments, the rear air damper assembly 102 includes a rear air mounting rod 113, and a plurality of rear air shielding structures 105, including a left rear air shielding structure 114 and a right rear air shielding structure 115. The left rear air shielding structure 114 and the right rear air shielding structure 115 are disposed at opposite ends of the rear air mounting rod 113, one end of which is connected to the rotation slot 106. In this manner, a rear air driving structure 107 can be used to drive the left rear air shielding structure 114 and the right rear air shielding structure 115 to swing.

[0084] In some embodiments, the rear-blowing damper assembly 102 includes a rear-blowing foot mounting rod 116, and the plurality of rear-blowing windshield structures 105 include a left rear-blowing foot windshield structure 117 and a right rear-blowing foot windshield structure 118. The left rear-blowing foot windshield structure 117 and the right rear-blowing foot windshield structure 118 are disposed at opposite ends of the rear-blowing foot mounting rod 116, one end of which is connected to the rotation slot 106. In this manner, a single rear-blowing drive structure 107 can be used to drive the left rear-blowing foot windshield structure 117 and the right rear-blowing foot windshield structure 118 to swing. By enabling all rear-blowing windshield structures 105 to swing using a single rear-blowing drive structure 107, costs can be saved.

[0085] In some embodiments, the rear blow damper assembly 102 includes a mounting bracket 119. The rear blow linkage mechanism 104 includes a first rear blow linkage 120 and a second rear blow linkage 121. The first rear blow linkage 120 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 119. The first rear blow linkage 120 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 119.

[0086] The first end of the first rear-blowing connecting rod 120 is movably disposed within the rotating groove 106, allowing movement within the rotating groove 106. The second end of the first rear-blowing connecting rod 120 is connected to the first end of the second rear-blowing connecting rod 121, and the second end of the second rear-blowing connecting rod 121 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rear-blowing windshield structure 105. In this way, the rear-blowing driving structure 107 can drive the rotating disk 103 to rotate, allowing the first end of the first rear-blowing connecting rod 120 to move within the uneven inner wall of the rotating groove 106, thereby driving the movement of the second rear-blowing connecting rod 121, thereby achieving the swinging of multiple rear-blowing windshield structures 105. This method is simple to implement and highly operable.

[0087] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 119 includes a first mounting bracket 122 and a second mounting bracket 123 connected to the first mounting bracket 122. The rotating disk 103 and a portion of the first rear-blowing connecting rod 120 are located between the first mounting bracket 122 and the second mounting bracket 123. The first mounting bracket 122 is used to fix the rear-blowing drive structure 107. The first rear-blowing connecting rod 120 includes a main body 124. The main body 124 includes a third portion 125, a fourth portion 126, and a second bend 127. The third portion 125 and the fourth portion 126 are connected by the second bend 127. The rotating disk 103 and the third portion 125 are located between the first mounting bracket 122 and the second mounting bracket 123, which can save space and make the structure more compact.

[0088] In some embodiments, the second rear blowing link 121 includes a main body 128 and a raised portion (not shown) connected to the main body 128 and located at the first end of the second rear blowing link 121. The main body 124 of the first rear blowing link 120 is provided with an arc notch 130, and the raised portion of the second rear blowing link 121 is fixedly confined within the arc notch 130. In this way, the fixing effect of the first rear blowing link 120 and the second rear blowing link 121 is better.

[0089] In some embodiments, the rear-blowing drive structure 107 is electrically connected to a controller. The controller is configured to control the rotation of the output end of the rear-blowing drive structure 107 based on a mode selection signal, thereby driving the rotating disk 103 to rotate from an initial angle to a set angle. This allows the rotating disk 103 to rotate at different angles in different modes of the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10, thereby varying the swing angles of the rear-blowing windshield structures 105 located in different rotation slots 106, thereby varying the air output volumes of the multiple rear-blowing air outlets 22. This simple structure allows for different air distribution conditions, providing a good user experience.

[0090] In some embodiments, if the set angle is less than the first set angle, the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 completely blocks the rear-blowing foot air outlet 47, and the opening of the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 decreases as the angle of rotation of the rotating disk 103 increases. The first set angle can be 60°. If the set angle is greater than the second set angle, the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 completely blocks the rear-blowing face air outlet 46, and the opening of the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 decreases as the angle of rotation of the rotating disk 103 increases. The second set angle can be 215°. In this way, in the full-face blowing mode, the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 can completely block the rear-blowing foot air outlet 47; in the full-foot blowing mode, the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 can completely block the rear-blowing face air outlet 46.

[0091] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to control the rotation of the output end of the rear-blowing drive structure 107 based on a first mode signal, thereby driving the rotating disk 103 to rotate from an initial angle to a first angle. The first mode signal may indicate a full-face blowing mode, and the first angle may be 60°. In this case, the rear-blowing foot wind shielding structure 109 can completely block the rear-blowing foot air outlet 47.

[0092] In some embodiments, the controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the rear air-blowing drive structure 107 according to the second mode signal to drive the rotating disk 103 to rotate from the initial angle to the second angle. The second mode signal can represent the face-blowing and foot-blowing mode, and the second angle can be 110°. If the change in temperature obtained by the controller within the set time does not exceed the set temperature, the controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the rear air-blowing drive structure 107 to drive the rotating disk 103 to rotate from the second angle to the sixth angle, so that the opening of the rear-blowing windshield structure 108 is reduced. Among them, the sixth angle is smaller than the second angle. In this way, in the face-blowing and foot-blowing mode, when the temperature is stable, the air volume of the rear-blowing air outlet 46 can be reduced, and the wind blown out by the comfort air outlet 30 is used to maintain the temperature inside the vehicle, thereby improving the user experience.

[0093] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to control the rotation of the output end of the rear-blowing drive structure 107 according to a third mode signal, thereby driving the rotating disk 103 to rotate from the initial angle to a third angle. The third mode signal may indicate a full foot-blowing mode, and the third angle may be 215°. In this case, the rear-blowing surface windshield structure 108 can completely block the rear-blowing surface air outlet 46.

[0094] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to control the rotation of the output end of the rear-blowing drive structure 107 according to a fourth mode signal, thereby driving the rotating disk 103 from the initial rotation angle to a fourth rotation angle. The fourth mode signal may indicate a foot-blowing defrost mode, and the fourth rotation angle may be 215°. In this case, the rear-blowing surface windshield structure 108 can completely block the rear-blowing surface air outlet 46.

[0095] In some embodiments, the controller is used to control the rotation of the output end of the rear-blowing drive structure 107 according to the fifth mode signal to drive the rotating disk 103 to rotate from the initial angle to the fifth angle. The fifth mode signal can represent the defrost mode, and the fifth angle can be 305°. At this time, the rear-blowing face windshield structure 108 can be completely blocked by the rear-blowing face air outlet 46, and the rear-blowing foot windshield structure 109 can be completely blocked by the rear-blowing foot air outlet 47. In this way, under different working modes, the rotation angle of the rotating disk 103 is different, so that the swing angles of the multiple rear-blowing windshield structures 105 are different, which can adapt to different working modes and adjust the air outlet of the multiple rear-blowing air outlets 22, so that the user experience is good.

The number of the front foot blowing drive structures 134 can be two, and the number of the front foot blowing windshield structures 132 can be two, the two front foot blowing drive structures 134 including a left front foot blowing drive structure and a right front foot blowing drive structure, and the two front foot blowing windshield structures 132 including a left front foot blowing windshield structure and a right front foot blowing windshield structure. The left front foot blowing drive structure is connected to the left front foot blowing wind shield structure, and the right front foot blowing drive structure is connected to the right front foot blowing wind shield structure. In this way, the left front foot blowing drive structure and the right front foot blowing drive structure can be controlled separately, and the user experience is good.

[0097] In some embodiments, the plurality of damper assemblies 12 include a defrost damper assembly 139, which includes a defrost windshield structure 140 rotatably disposed on the housing 11. The defrost windshield structure 140 is disposed corresponding to the defrost air outlet 54. The plurality of drive assemblies 13 include a defrost drive assembly 141. The defrost drive assembly 141 includes a defrost drive structure 142, which may be a motor. The output end of the defrost drive structure 142 is connected to the defrost windshield structure 140, and is used to drive the defrost windshield structure 140 to rotate, thereby opening and closing the defrost air outlet 54.

[0098] Figure 10 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the air distribution assembly 144 in the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 shown in Figure 1 in one direction. Figure 11 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the air distribution assembly 144 in the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 shown in Figure 1 in another direction. Referring to Figures 10 and 11, in some embodiments, the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 includes an air distribution assembly 144. The air distribution assembly 144 is arranged on the air inlet side 14 (as shown in Figure 2). The air distribution assembly 144 includes an air baffle 145 and an air baffle driving unit 146. The shape of the air baffle 145 can be square. The air baffle 145 is arranged at the air inlet 17 and is movably connected to the air baffle driving unit 146 along the straight line direction X. The air baffle driving unit 146 can rotate to drive the air baffle 145 to move along the straight line direction X.

[0099] In some embodiments, the air distribution assembly 144 includes an air distribution drive structure 147, which can be a motor. The output end of the air distribution drive structure 147 is connected to the air baffle drive unit 146, which is used to drive the air baffle drive unit 146 to rotate. The air baffle drive unit 146 is disposed at the air inlet 17. The air baffle drive unit 146 can pass through the center of the air inlet 17 and be located between the first air inlet 18 and the second air inlet 19 (as shown in FIG2 ). The air baffle 145 includes a first position and a second position. When the air baffle 145 is in the first position, the air baffle 145 completely blocks the first air inlet 18; when the air baffle 145 is in the second position, the air baffle 145 completely blocks the second air inlet 19. When the air baffle 145 is in the first position, the second air inlet 19 is at least partially exposed. When the air baffle 145 is in the second position, the first air inlet 18 is at least partially exposed. The air baffle 145 can flexibly switch between the first position and the second position. It is understandable that the wind baffle 145 can be in the first position, the second position, or any position between the first position and the second position, and this application does not impose any restrictions. In this way, when the wind baffle 145 is in the first position, hot air can be introduced into the air cavity 16 through the second air inlet 19. When the wind baffle 145 is in the second position, cold air can be introduced into the air cavity 16 through the first air inlet 18. When the wind baffle 145 is between the first position and the second position, cold air and hot air can be introduced through the first air inlet 18 and the second air inlet 19 respectively, and a mixture of cold air and hot air can be blown into the interior of the vehicle. At the same time, the position of the wind baffle 145 can be adjusted to adjust the ratio of hot air to cold air in the mixed air, so that fine temperature regulation can be achieved, and the adjustment method is simple.

[0100] In some embodiments, a large surface of the wind baffle 145 is provided with a rack 148, and the rack 148 is extended along the straight direction X. The wind baffle driving unit 146 includes an extension rod 149 and a gear 150. The extension rod 149 may be cylindrical. The extension rod 149 extends along a horizontal direction Y perpendicular to the straight direction X, and the gear 150 is provided on the extension rod 149 and is connected with the rack 148. The gear 150 may be sleeved on the outer surface of the extension rod 149. The rotation of the extension rod 149 may drive the gear 150 to rotate, so that the wind baffle 145 provided with the rack 148 may move along the straight direction X. By using the gear 150 and the rack 148 as a transmission device, the vibration and error during the transmission process are small, and the position of the wind baffle 145 can be accurately adjusted, and the method for adjusting the position of the wind baffle 145 is simple.

[0101] In some embodiments, there are at least two air baffles 145, including a front air baffle 151 and a rear air baffle 152. The front air baffle 151 is located at the air inlet 17 corresponding to the front air cavity 23, and the rear air baffle 152 is located at the air inlet 17 corresponding to the rear air cavity 24 (as shown in FIG2 ). This allows for separate air intake control for the front air cavity 23 and the rear air cavity 24, thereby adapting to the different temperature requirements of the front and rear rows of the vehicle interior and providing a better user experience.

[0102] In some embodiments, the at least two windshields 145 include a left front windshield 153, a right front windshield 154, a left rear windshield 155, and a right rear windshield 156. This can respectively adapt to the different temperature requirements of the front left seat, the front right seat, and the rear left seat, and the rear right seat in the vehicle.

[0103] In some embodiments, the number of the wind baffle driving units 146 is at least two, and the at least two wind baffle driving units 146 include a left front wind baffle driving unit 157 and a right front wind baffle driving unit 158. The left front wind baffle 153 is movably connected to the left front wind baffle driving unit 157 along the straight line direction X. The right front wind baffle 154 is movably connected to the right front wind baffle driving unit 158 ​​along the straight line direction X. The number of the air distribution driving structures 147 is at least two, and the at least two air distribution driving structures 147 include two first air distribution driving structures 159. The output ends of the two first air distribution driving structures 159 are respectively connected to the left front wind baffle driving unit 157 and the right front wind baffle driving unit 158, and are used to drive the left front wind baffle driving unit 157 and the right front wind baffle driving unit 158 ​​to rotate. In this way, two air distribution drive structures 147 can be set to control the movement of the left front wind baffle 153 and the right front wind baffle 154 respectively, so as to adapt to the different temperature requirements of the front left seat and the front right seat inside the vehicle respectively.

[0104] In some embodiments, at least two air baffle drive units 146 include a left rear air baffle drive unit 160 and a right rear air baffle drive unit 161. At least two air distribution drive structures 147 include a second air distribution drive structure 163 and an air distribution transmission structure 162. The air distribution transmission structure 162 is connected to the left rear air baffle drive unit 160 and the right rear air baffle drive unit 161, and the output end of the second air distribution drive structure 163 is connected to one of the left rear air baffle drive unit 160 and the right rear air baffle drive unit 161. Providing the air distribution transmission structure 162 can utilize a second air distribution drive structure 163 to drive the movement of the left rear air baffle 155 and the right rear air baffle 156, thereby saving costs.

[0105] In some embodiments, the air distribution transmission structure 162 includes a transmission rod 164 and at least two mating gears 165. The transmission rod 164 may be in the shape of a cylinder. The transmission rod 164 extends along a horizontal direction Y perpendicular to the linear direction X. At least two mating gears 165 are distributed along the horizontal direction Y on the transmission rod 164. At least one of the at least two mating gears 165 is matingly connected with the gear 150 of the left rear wind baffle drive unit 160, and the remaining mating gear 165 of the at least two mating gears 165 is matingly connected with the gear 150 of the right rear wind baffle drive unit 161. In this embodiment, the number of the mating gears 165 is two, one mating gear 165 is matingly connected with the gear 150 of the left rear wind baffle drive unit 160, and the other mating gear 165 is matingly connected with the gear 150 of the right rear wind baffle drive unit 161. In this way, the rotation of one of the left rear wind baffle driving unit 160 and the right rear wind baffle driving unit 161 can simultaneously drive the rotation of the other and the corresponding left rear wind baffle 155 and right rear wind baffle 156 to move, which is more efficient.

[0106] In some embodiments, the air distribution assembly 144 includes a first gear set 166 and a second gear set 167. The at least two air baffle driving units 146 include a front air baffle driving unit 168 and a rear air baffle driving unit 169. The first gear set 166 is connected to the front air baffle driving unit 168 and is used to drive the front air baffle driving unit 168 to rotate. The second gear set 167 is connected to the rear air baffle driving unit 169 and is used to drive the rear air baffle driving unit 169 to rotate. The first gear set 166 and the second gear set 167 are respectively configured to drive the front air baffle driving unit 168 and the rear air baffle driving unit 169 to rotate, so that the rotation is stable.

[0107] In some embodiments, the first gear set 166 and the second gear set 167 are staggered along the horizontal direction Y. The first gear set 166 may include a first gear 170 and a second gear 171 that are meshed. The second gear set 167 may include a third gear 173 and a fourth gear 174 that are meshed. The staggered arrangement of the first gear set 166 and the second gear set 167 along the horizontal direction Y may mean that the first gear 170 and the second gear 171 may be arranged on one side of the third gear 173 and the fourth gear 174 along the horizontal direction Y. Such an arrangement can make the overall structure more compact. Among them, the output end of the first air distribution drive structure 159 can be connected to the first gear 170, and the second gear 171 is connected to the front air baffle drive unit 168. The output end of the second air distribution drive structure 163 can be connected to the third gear 173, and the fourth gear 174 is connected to the rear air baffle drive unit 169.

[0108] In some embodiments, the rear air baffle driving portion 169 is hollow, and the front air baffle driving portion 168 passes through the rear air baffle driving portion 169 and is connected to the first gear set 166. In this way, the rotation axis of the second gear 171 and the rotation axis of the fourth gear 174 can coincide, making the structure more compact.

[0109] In some embodiments, the air distribution drive structure 147 is electrically connected to a controller. The controller is used to control the output end of the air distribution drive structure 147 to rotate to a corresponding angle according to the mode selection signal, so that the air baffle 145 moves from an initial position to a corresponding position along the linear direction X. In this way, the controller can control the output end of the air distribution drive structure 147 to rotate to a corresponding angle, so that the air baffle 145 moves to different positions along the linear direction X, thereby achieving different opening degrees of the first air inlet 18 and the second air inlet 19 to achieve temperature regulation. For example, the first air inlet 18 can be fully opened and the second air inlet 19 can be fully closed, so that only cold air is introduced into the air cavity 16; the first air inlet 18 can be fully closed and the second air inlet 19 can be fully opened, so that only hot air is introduced into the air cavity 16; the first air inlet 18 can be partially opened and the second air inlet 19 can be partially opened, and the opening degrees of the first air inlet 18 and the second air inlet 19 can be adjusted.

[0110] Referring again to FIG. 4 , in some embodiments, the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 includes a filter 175 disposed within the air cavity 16 . The filter 175 is located between the air inlet 14 and the plurality of air outlets 20 . The filter 175 can prevent dust and impurities from entering the air inlet 17 , thereby protecting the heat exchanger within the vehicle.

[0111] In some embodiments, the vehicle air conditioning air distribution device 10 includes an air isolation duct 176 disposed within the air cavity 16. The air isolation duct 176 includes a ventilation cavity 177, a first vent 178, and a second vent 179, wherein the first vent 178 and the second vent 179 are in communication with the ventilation cavity 177. The air inlet side 14 is located on one side of the air isolation duct 176, and the comfort vent 30 is located on the other side of the air isolation duct 176. The plurality of air outlets 20 include a defrost air outlet 54, wherein the first vent 178 faces the air inlet side 14, and the second vent 179 faces the defrost air outlet 54. In this way, the cold air and / or hot air entering the air inlet side 14 may not be blown directly toward the air outlet 20, making the air blown out of the air outlet 20 more comfortable.

[0112] This application also provides a vehicle, which may be a new energy vehicle. The vehicle includes a vehicle body, a front windshield mounted on the vehicle body, and a vehicle air conditioning air distribution device as described above. The air conditioning air distribution device may be mounted inside the vehicle body. In some embodiments, the first air guide portion is parallel to the front windshield. Air can be directed diagonally upwards into the vehicle interior, thereby improving user comfort.
