DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0065] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0066] As shown in FIGS. 1-24, the present disclosure provides an air outlet assembly which can be used in a vehicle. The air outlet assembly provided by the present disclosure includes a housing 100, a vane assembly, a power mechanism, a mechanical input device 200 and a controller.

[0067] The housing 100 is provided with an air outlet 130, and the vane assembly is arranged in the housing 100 for guiding the airflow. The vane assembly can be located upstream of the air outlet 130 along the airflow direction. The vane assembly is rotatably arranged relative to the air outlet 130. The rotation of the vane assembly relative to the air outlet 130 can change the airflow direction, so as to adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet 130.

[0068] The power mechanism can be mounted on the housing 100 and in driving connection with the vane assembly. The operation of the power mechanism can drive the vane assembly to rotate, so as to rotate the vane assembly relative to the air outlet 130, thereby adjusting the angle of the vane assembly and further adjusting the air outlet direction of the air outlet 130.

[0069] The mechanical input device 200 is used to bear the adjustment action. The controller is in communication connection with the mechanical input device 200 and the power mechanism, respectively. The controller is also in communication connection with an external electronic input device. The controller is further used to receive the signals output by the electronic input device and the mechanical input device 200, and to control the operation or stop of the power mechanism according to the last received signal. It should be noted that the last received signal refers to the signal received last in time sequence. In some embodiments, the controller can be an ECU controller (electronic controller).

[0070] The mechanical input device 200 is used to input the air outlet direction adjustment signal through mechanical components, and to generate an output signal to be transmitted to the controller. The controller controls the movement of the power mechanism according to the output signal, so as to adjust the angle of the vane assembly and further adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet 130. In this way, the air outlet assembly has a mechanical air direction adjustment mode (which can also be referred to as a manual air direction adjustment mode).

[0071] The external electronic input device is used to input the air outlet direction adjustment signal through electronic components (such as virtual keys or physical keys), and to generate an output signal. The controller of the air outlet assembly can receive the output signal of the external electronic input device, and control the movement of the power mechanism according to the output signal, so as to adjust the angle of the vane assembly and further adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet 130. In this way, the air outlet assembly has an electronic air direction adjustment mode (which can also be referred to as an electric air direction adjustment mode).

[0072] In this structure, the air outlet assembly has both the mechanical air direction adjusting mode and the electronic air direction adjusting mode, and the controller can adjust the air direction according to the last received signal, so that the switching logic between the electronic air direction adjusting mode and the mechanical air direction adjusting mode is simple and easy to implement.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the controller can receive the air direction adjusting signal output by the external electronic input device, and adjust the air direction according to the signal. The way of inputting the air direction adjusting signal through the electronic input device can meet the pursuit of young people for intelligence and technology. The air outlet assembly can also input the air direction adjusting signal through the manual mechanical input device 200 to adjust the air direction of the air outlet 130. The manual adjusting mode can meet the needs of the elderly and children for simple operation without operating complicated electronic keys, so that the air outlet assembly can meet the different needs of different age groups. It can be seen that the embodiments of the present disclosure can solve the problem in the prior art that the adjusting mode of the air direction of the air outlet cannot meet the needs of technology, intelligence and humanity.

[0074] The electronic input device can include an operation panel, and the controller of the air outlet assembly is in communication connection with the operation panel and receives the signal output by the operation panel.

[0075] The operation panel can be provided with virtual keys and / or physical keys, and the air direction adjusting signal is input by clicking or pressing the virtual keys and / or physical keys. Specifically, the operation panel can display at least one control option for controlling the air direction. For example, the operation panel can include an "air direction" control option, and the "air direction" control option can further include sub-control options such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. Operating the corresponding control option can adjust the angle of the corresponding blade. Of course, the control option for controlling the air direction on the operation panel can also be other control options, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0076] Operating the control option on the operation panel generates the air direction adjusting signal, which can be transmitted to the ECU controller through the ZCU (zone controller), and the ECU controller controls the corresponding power mechanism according to the received signal to realize the air direction adjustment.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 24, after operating (for example, performing "clicking operation") the control option on the operation panel, the ZCU sends a LIN signal to the ECU controller, the ECU releases the ILN signal to the corresponding power mechanism, drives the power mechanism to operate, and the power mechanism drives the corresponding blade assembly to rotate to realize the angle adjustment of the blade assembly.

[0078] The air outlet assembly in the embodiments of the present disclosure has the characteristics of high wind sweeping durability and high blade position recognition accuracy, and also has the modes of focusing, avoiding people and three-dimensional wind sweeping. For example, the operation panel can also include a "wind sweeping" control option. After the "wind sweeping" control option is operated, the ZCU sends a LIN signal to the ECU controller, the ECU releases an ILN signal to the corresponding power mechanism, drives the power mechanism to operate, the power mechanism drives the corresponding blade assembly to rotate, realizes wind sweeping and closing, so that the air outlet assembly in the embodiments of the present disclosure also has the wind sweeping mode.

[0079] It should be noted that the way of controlling the realization of each function of the air outlet assembly through the operation panel input signal is prior art, and will not be described herein.

[0080] The mechanical input device 200 can include a manual operating piece 210 and a signal acquisition element. The manual operating piece 210 is movably connected to the shell 100 and is used to bear the adjusting action applied by the user. The signal acquisition element outputs different signals with the movement of the manual operating piece 210. The signal acquisition element is in communication connection with the controller. The controller is used to control the power mechanism according to the signal of the received signal acquisition element, so as to realize the adjustment of the air outlet direction in the mechanical (manual) mode. In this structure, the user holds the manual operating piece 210 and moves it relative to the shell 100, so as to realize the adjustment of the angle of the blade assembly. The adjustment mode is simple and convenient.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the manual operating piece 210 can be a knob. Of course, in other embodiments, the manual operating piece 210 can also be a rotary knob.

[0082] In order to enable the user to obtain a better blowing experience, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the blade assembly can include at least two groups of blade sets with different rotating directions. The coordinated operation of the plurality of blade sets with different rotating directions can adjust the air outlet direction of the air outlet 130 in multiple wind directions (such as up-down direction and left-right direction), so that the air outlet direction of the air outlet 130 is more flexible.

[0083] In order to adjust the angle of the blade set with different rotating directions, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the manual operating piece 210 can be movably arranged in the shell 100 in at least two directions. The number of signal acquisition elements can be at least two. The number of power mechanisms can be at least two. The movement of the manual operating piece 210 in one direction, one signal acquisition element, one power mechanism and one blade set form a group of air outlet direction adjustment groups. The angle of one blade set is adjusted. That is to say, the movement of each direction of the manual operating piece 210 can transmit the movement signal thereof to the controller through one of the signal acquisition elements. The controller controls the operation or stop of one of the power mechanisms according to the received signal of the signal acquisition element, so as to drive the rotation or stop of one of the blade sets.

[0084] In this case, the movement of the manual operating member 210 in one direction can adjust the rotation of one group of blade sets, and the movement of the manual operating member 210 in multiple directions corresponds to multiple groups of blade sets, the operation principle is simple, and the operation is more convenient, which can improve the user experience.

[0085] Of course, in other embodiments, the movement direction of the manual operating member 210, the signal acquisition element, the power mechanism, and the number of blade sets can all be one, and in this structure, the air outlet 130 can be adjusted in a single wind direction (only up and down direction or only left and right direction).

[0086] The movement form of the manual operating member 210 and the type of the signal acquisition element are various.

[0087] In some embodiments, the manual operating member 210 can move along a straight line, and the movement track of the manual operating member 210 can extend radially from the initial position to the surrounding, the initial position and each radial movement track are communicated, the signal acquisition element can include a position detection element, and each radial movement track is provided with a position detection element, the position detection element on each movement track detects the position of the manual operating member 210 in the respective movement track, and transmits the position information to the controller, the controller controls the corresponding power mechanism to operate according to the current position information of the manual operating member 210, so as to realize the angle adjustment of the corresponding blade assembly, and further realize the adjustment of the air outlet direction.

[0088] In other embodiments, the blade assembly can include a first blade set, the first blade set can include one or more first blades 310, the first blade set can be rotatably arranged on the housing 100 about a first direction a, and the power mechanism can include a first power mechanism 410, the first power mechanism 410 can be in transmission connection with the first blade set.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first power mechanism 410 can include a first motor, and can also include a first motor and a first reducer connected with the first motor, the output shaft (the output shaft of the first motor or the output shaft of the first reducer) of the first power mechanism 410 can be connected with a first driving gear 910, the first blade shaft 311 of the first blade set can be connected with a first driven gear 920, and the first driving gear 910 and the first driven gear 920 are engaged, so that the first power mechanism 410 is in transmission connection with the first blade set through the first driving gear 910 and the first driven gear 920, so as to drive the first blade set to rotate, and the forward and reverse rotation of the first motor can drive the first blade set to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0090] The mechanical input device 200 can comprise a rotating base 220, the manual operating member 210 can be arranged on the rotating base 220, the rotating base 220 can be rotatably arranged on the housing 100 in the second direction b, and the manual operating member 210 can drive the rotating base 220 to rotate relative to the housing 100 in the second direction b, or in other words, the movement of the manual operating member 210 can drive the rotating base 220 to rotate in the second direction b.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first direction a and the second direction b can be parallel, that is, the rotating direction of the first blade 310 in the first blade group can be consistent with the rotating direction of the rotating base 220, for example, in the case that the user drives the rotating base 220 to rotate left (right) through the manual operating member 210, the first blade group rotates left (right). Of course, in other embodiments, the first direction a and the second direction b can also intersect.

[0092] In some embodiments, the rotating angle of the first blade group can have a linear relationship (for example, a direct proportion) with the rotating angle of the rotating base 220, for example, in the case that the user drives the rotating base 220 to rotate 1° left (right) through the manual operating member 210, the first blade group can rotate 1° left (right). Of course, in other embodiments, the corresponding relationship between the rotating angle of the rotating base 220 and the first blade group can not be a linear relationship, which is not limited herein.

[0093] The signal collecting element can comprise a first signal collecting element, the first signal collecting element is used to collect the rotating direction and the rotating angle of the rotating base 220 and output to the controller, and the controller is used to drive the first power mechanism 410 to operate or stop according to the signal output by the first signal collecting element. Specifically, the controller controls the rotating direction of the first power mechanism 410 according to the rotating direction of the rotating base 220, so as to control the rotating direction of the first blade group, and the controller controls the rotating angle of the output shaft of the first power mechanism 410 according to the rotating angle of the rotating base 220, so as to control the rotating angle of the first blade group.

[0094] Such a structure takes the rotating parameters of the rotating base 220 as signal input, and the rotating base 220 requires less activity space, which is beneficial to the small volume design of the air outlet assembly.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the shell 100 can include a shell body 110, which can include a first half shell 111 and a second half shell 112, and the first half shell 111 and the second half shell 112 can be connected to form the shell body 110 by fasteners 1000 such as screws. The first vane group can include a plurality of first vanes 310, each of which has a first vane shaft 311 including a first shaft end and a second shaft end. The first shaft ends of all the first vanes 310 are rotatably connected to a first vane fixing support 610, and the second shaft ends of all the first vanes 310 are rotatably connected to another first vane fixing support 610. The two first vane fixing supports 610 can be respectively clamped, screwed or bonded to the first half shell 111 and the second half shell 112. After the first half shell 111 and the second half shell 112 are connected, the two first vane fixing supports 610 and all the first vanes 310 are integrally crimped and fixed.

[0096] The plurality of first vanes 310 can be linked by a first connecting rod 621 and a second connecting rod 622, so that the rotation of one of the first vanes 310 can drive the rotation of all the first vanes 310.

[0097] In some embodiments, the number of first connecting rods 621 can be one, and the number of second connecting rods 622 can be the same as the number of first vanes 310. One end of each second connecting rod 622 is fixedly connected to a first vane 310 in one-to-one correspondence, and the other end of each second connecting rod 622 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 621. The rotation of one of the first vanes 310 can drive the rotation of the second connecting rod 622 connected thereto. During the rotation of the second connecting rod 622, the position of the second connecting rod 622 changes, which drives the first connecting rod 621 to change its position. The change in the position of the first connecting rod 621 drives all the second connecting rods 622 connected thereto to rotate, thereby driving all the first vanes 310 to rotate.

[0112] In some embodiments, the hole wall of the elongated hole 224 and the outer wall of the manual operating member 210 can be limitedly matched along a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the elongated hole 224. The length direction of the elongated hole 224 can be parallel to the second direction b. In this case, the manual operating member 210 does not generate a force to drive the rotating base 220 to rotate about the second direction b during the movement along the length direction of the elongated hole 224.

[0118] The rotation of the shaft of the external structure (for example, the rotating shaft 230 or the connecting shaft 223) in the opposite direction can drive the rotor and the brush of the potentiometer to rotate in the opposite direction. When the rotor and the brush of the potentiometer rotate in the opposite direction, the change of the resistance value is different. For example, when the rotor and the brush of the potentiometer rotate clockwise, the resistance value increases, and when the rotor and the brush of the potentiometer rotate counterclockwise, the resistance value decreases. Therefore, according to the increase or decrease of the resistance value of the potentiometer, the rotating direction of the shaft (for example, the rotating shaft 230 or the connecting shaft 223) of the external structure connected to the potentiometer can be determined. The potentiometer transmits the resistance value to the controller, and the controller determines the rotating direction of the rotating shaft 230 or the connecting shaft 223 according to the change of the resistance value, and controls the rotating direction of the corresponding blade group according to the rotating direction of the rotating shaft 230 or the connecting shaft 223.
