For example, the connection can be fixed, detachable or integrated; can be mechanically or electrically connected; either directly or indirectly, or through some action. The specific meaning of the above terms herein can be understood by those skilled in the art as appropriate.

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the vehicle V includes an interior I having a dashboard IP, and the air outlet device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided at the center and both side positions of the dashboard IP. It should be understood that the number and the arrangement positions of the air outlet devices 100 are not limited, and a corresponding number of air outlet devices 100 may be arranged as needed, and the air outlet devices 100 may be arranged only in the center of the instrument panel IP, or may be arranged in any other position.

As shown in fig. 2A and 2B, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet device 100 of the present invention mainly includes a housing, and a damper assembly and a blade assembly disposed in the housing.

The case includes an outer case including an outer upper case 210 and an outer lower case 220 connected to each other to define an outer case cavity, and an inner case disposed in the outer case cavity and including an inner front case 310 and an inner rear case 320 connected to each other. As shown in fig. 5B, 6B, 7B, and 8B, the rear end of the outer case is formed with an air inlet opening 230 defined jointly by the outer upper case 210 and the outer lower case 220, and the front end of the outer case is formed with an air outlet opening 240 defined jointly by the outer upper case 210 and the outer lower case 220, and first and second air ducts, which communicate the air inlet opening 230 and the air outlet opening 240 and are independent of each other, are defined between the outer case and the inner case, i.e., an upper air duct 250 illustrated, which is defined jointly by the lower surface of the outer upper case 210 and the upper surface of the inner case and realizes downward blowing through the air outlet opening 240, and a lower air duct 260, which is defined jointly by the upper surface of the outer lower case 220 and the lower surface of the inner case and realizes upward blowing through the air outlet opening 240. The inner housing may thus also be referred to as a "wind-dividing block".

As shown in fig. 2A and 2B and fig. 3A to 3G, the damper assembly of the wind outlet device 100 mainly includes a first damper 510, a second damper 520, a driving member 530 and a spring 540. In this first embodiment, the first damper 510 includes a first rotating shaft disposed along an edge thereof, and the second damper 520 includes a second rotating shaft disposed along an edge thereof, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft being coaxially disposed. More specifically, the first rotary shaft includes a first section 511 at a first end thereof and a second section 512 at a second end opposite to the first end, the first section 511 of the first rotary shaft is provided with a first shaft hole 5112, and the second rotary shaft includes a first section 521 at a first end thereof and a second section 522 at a second end opposite to the first end, the second section 522 of the second rotary shaft is provided with a second shaft hole 5221, by inserting the first section 521 of the second rotary shaft into the first shaft hole 5112 of the first rotary shaft and inserting the second section 512 of the first rotary shaft into the second shaft hole 5221 of the second rotary shaft, so that the first rotary shaft and the second rotary shaft are coaxially disposed and nested with each other, thereby enabling the first damper 510 and the second damper 520 to coaxially rotate.

The first section 511 of the first spindle is provided with a first notch 5111 extending axially from its axial end face, and the first section 521 of the second spindle is provided with a second notch 5211 extending axially from its axial end face for mating with the drive member 530. More specifically, the driving member 530 is coaxially rotatably disposed at first end portions of the first and second rotating shafts, and includes a connecting shaft 531 connected to the external motor through the outer housing and a push block 532 connected to the connecting shaft 531, the push block 532 being disposed to pass through the first and

second notches

5111 and 5211 and including a first engaging face 5321 and a second engaging face 5322. The first section 511 of the first rotating shaft includes a third engaging surface 5113 forming a sidewall of the first gap 5111 and cooperating with the first engaging surface 5321, and the first section 521 of the second rotating shaft includes a fourth engaging surface 5212 forming a sidewall of the second gap 5211 and cooperating with the second engaging surface 5322. Therefore, when the driving member 530 is driven to rotate by the motor through the connecting shaft 531, the first engaging surface 5321 and the third engaging surface 5113 can abut against each other, so that the pushing block 532 pushes the first rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the first air door 510 to rotate; and the second engagement surface 5322 and the fourth engagement surface 5212 can abut against each other, so that the pushing block 532 pushes the second rotating shaft to rotate, thereby rotating the second damper 520. According to an embodiment variant, the "notches" can be replaced by "projections" projecting axially from the respective axial end face, it being only necessary to be able to form the respective abutment surfaces.

In addition, the first damper 510 includes a shaft pin 514, a spring 540 is wound on the shaft pin 514, and both ends of the spring 540 are respectively overlapped to the first damper 510 and the second damper 520 to apply a clockwise restoring force to the first damper 510 and a counterclockwise restoring force to the second damper 520. In this first embodiment, the first and second rotating shafts are disposed close to the end of the inner rear case 320 (i.e., close to the rear end interface position of the upper and lower surfaces of the inner rear case 320), and when the first damper 510 is not driven by the driving member 530, the first damper 510 rotates clockwise due to the action of the spring 540 until the free end of the first damper 510 abuts against the lower surface of the outer upper case 210 (i.e., in the first limit position, refer to fig. 7B, 8B and the following description); when the second damper 520 is not driven by the driving part 530, the second damper 520 rotates counterclockwise due to the spring 540 until it is entirely adhered to the lower surface of the inner rear case 320 (i.e., in the third limit position, refer to fig. 3A, 3B, 5B, 6B, 7B, and the following description).

As shown in fig. 4, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, a rubber band 550 may be used instead of the spring 540 to provide the above-described restoring force to the first and

second dampers

510 and 520. More specifically, the first damper 510 includes a first protrusion 513, the second damper 520 includes a second protrusion 523, and a rubber band 550 is fitted over the first protrusion 513 and the second protrusion 523 to pretension the first damper 510 to a first limit position when the first damper 510 is not driven by the driving part 530 and to pretension the second damper 520 to a third limit position when the second damper 520 is not driven by the driving part 530.

The principle of the air guiding operation of the first damper 510 and the second damper 520 will be specifically described below with reference to fig. 5A to 5C, fig. 6A to 6C, fig. 7A to 7C, and fig. 8A to 8C. In this first embodiment, the first damper 510 is disposed outside the upper duct 250 and the free end of the first damper 510 is oriented rearward toward the air intake opening 230, and the second damper 520 is disposed such that the free end thereof projects forward into the lower duct 260, and the first damper 510 is disposed so as to be rotatable between a first limit position at which the free end of the first damper 510 abuts against the lower surface of the outer upper case 210 (refer to fig. 7B, 8B) and a second limit position at which the free end of the first damper 510 abuts against the upper surface of the outer lower case 220 (refer to fig. 5B), at which the free end thereof projects forward into the lower duct 260; the second damper 520 is provided so as to be rotatable between a third limit position at which the second damper 520 is entirely pressed against the lower surface of the inner rear case 320 (refer to fig. 5B, 6B, and 7B) and a fourth limit position at which the free end of the second damper 520 abuts against the upper surface of the outer lower case 220 (refer to fig. 8B), the third limit position allowing the air flow to simultaneously pass through the upper duct 250 and the lower duct 260, and the fourth limit position restricting the air flow from passing through the lower duct 260.

Further, the states shown in fig. 7A to 7C are the initial states of the damper assembly. More specifically, when neither the first damper 510 nor the second damper 520 is driven by the driving member 530, as described above, the second rotary shaft of the second damper is continuously returned counterclockwise by the urging force of the spring 540 such that the fourth engagement surface 5212 thereof abuts against the second engagement surface 5322 of the push block 532, while the first rotary shaft of the first damper 510 is continuously returned clockwise by the urging force of the spring 540 such that the third engagement surface 5113 thereof abuts against the first engagement surface 5321 of the push block 532. Meanwhile, since the circumferential included angle of the second notch 5211 of the second rotating shaft is greater than the circumferential included angle between the first engaging surface 5321 and the second engaging surface 5322, the second rotating shaft has the idle stroke included angle α, that is, when the pushing block 532 rotates counterclockwise, the second rotating shaft cannot be driven to rotate but only the first rotating shaft can be driven to rotate. Similarly, since the circumferential included angle of the first notch 5111 of the first rotating shaft is greater than the circumferential included angle between the first engaging surface 5321 and the second engaging surface 5322, the first rotating shaft has an idle stroke included angle β, that is, when the pushing block 532 rotates clockwise, the first rotating shaft cannot be driven to rotate but only the second rotating shaft can be driven to rotate.

As can be appreciated from the above principle, the push block 532 is disengaged from one of the first and second shafts while engaging with the other of the first and second shafts to drive the shafts to rotate the first damper 510 or the second damper 520 independently. That is, in the initial state, when the driving member 530 rotates clockwise, only the second rotating shaft can be driven to drive the second damper 520 to rotate clockwise, and at this time, the first damper 510 is located at the first limit position, and the free end thereof abuts against the lower surface of the upper outer housing 210 under the action of the aforementioned clockwise spring restoring force and maintains the current position, and is only allowed to be driven to rotate counterclockwise; when the driving member 530 rotates counterclockwise, only the first rotating shaft is driven to drive the first damper 510 to rotate counterclockwise, and at this time, the second damper 520 is located at the third limit position, which abuts against the lower surface of the inner rear case 320 under the aforementioned counterclockwise spring return force and maintains the current position, allowing only the clockwise rotation to be driven.

If the driving member 530 is rotated counterclockwise from the above initial position by the motor, the push block 532 rotates counterclockwise until being stopped by the first stopping surface 211 of the stopper provided on the outer case. At this time, since the first engaging surface 5321 of the pushing block 532 engages with the third engaging surface 5113 of the first rotating shaft, the pushing block 532 drives the first rotating shaft to rotate counterclockwise to make the first damper 510 reach the second limit position, and since the idle stroke included angle α is set, the second rotating shaft is not driven, and the second damper 520 is kept at the third limit position due to the action of the spring 540, as shown in fig. 5A to 5C. In this state, the upper duct 250 is fully opened, and the lower duct 260 is closed by the first damper 510, at this time, the wind direction at the wind outlet opening 240 is a downward wind direction, that is, the airflow flows through the upper duct 250 and then blows out downward at the wind outlet opening 240.

Thereafter, if the driving member 530 is driven to rotate clockwise by the motor, the push block 532 rotates clockwise, and at this time, due to the restoring force of the spring 540, the third engagement face 5113 of the first damper 510 is kept in close contact with the first engagement face 5321 and the first damper 510 and the push block 532 rotate clockwise synchronously until the first damper 510 rotates to the horizontal middle position with the driving member 530, and since the second rotation shaft is not driven, the second damper 520 is kept at the third limit position due to the spring 540, as shown in fig. 6A to 6C. In this state, both the upper duct 250 and the lower duct 260 are opened, and at this time, the wind direction at the wind outlet opening 240 is the middle wind outlet direction, that is, the airflow converges at the wind outlet opening 240 and is blown out horizontally after flowing through the upper duct 250 and the lower duct 260.

Thereafter, if the driving member 530 is driven by the motor to rotate clockwise, the push block 532 continues to rotate clockwise, at which time, due to the restoring force of the spring 540, the third engagement face 5113 of the first damper 510 is kept close to the first engagement face 5321 and the first damper 510 and the push block 532 continue to rotate clockwise synchronously until the first damper 510 rotates to the first limit position along with the driving member 530, and since the second rotation shaft is not driven, the second damper 520 is kept at the third limit position due to the spring 540, that is, the damper assembly returns to the initial state, as shown in fig. 7A to 7C. In this state, the upper duct 250 is closed by the first damper 510, and the lower duct 260 is fully opened, at this time, the wind direction at the wind outlet opening 240 is an upward wind direction, that is, the airflow flows through the lower duct 260 and then blows upward at the wind outlet opening 240.

Thereafter, if the driving part 530 continues to rotate clockwise by the motor, the push block 532 rotates clockwise until it is stopped by the second stopping surface 221 of the stopping block provided on the outer case. At this time, since the second engagement surface 5322 of the pushing block 532 is engaged with the fourth engagement surface 5212 of the second rotation shaft, the pushing block 532 drives the second rotation shaft to rotate clockwise to make the second damper 520 reach the fourth limit position, and since the first rotation shaft is not driven due to the setting of the idle stroke included angle β, the first damper 510 is kept at the first limit position due to the action of the spring 540, as shown in fig. 8A to 8C. In this state, the upper air duct 250 is closed by the first damper 510, and the lower air duct 260 is closed by the second damper 520, at this time, the air volume is fully closed at the air outlet opening 240.

Further, as shown in fig. 2A, 2B, 5B, 6B, 7B and 8B, the vane assembly of the wind outlet device 100 includes an upper vane 411 disposed in the upper air duct 250 and a lower vane 412 disposed in the lower air duct 260, and the upper vane 411 and the lower vane 412 are vertical vanes adapted to control the left and right wind directions and are integrally connected by a link 420 penetrating through the inner case. It will be appreciated that the rotation of the upper blade 411 and the lower blade 412 may be driven manually or by a motor. For example, it may be provided that the driving of the damper assembly and the blade assembly is simultaneously achieved by a single motor, thereby achieving simultaneous control of the wind directions up, down, left, and right.

As shown in fig. 9, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the first and second rotating shafts are disposed to be spaced apart from the end of the inner rear case 320 by a horizontal distance, and the end of the inner rear case 320 is provided with a stopper protrusion 321. When the second damper 520 is at the third limit position, the free end of the second damper 520 is aligned toward the end of the inner rear case 320 (i.e., the rear end boundary position of the upper and lower surfaces of the inner rear case 320) and overlaps and stops with the stopper protrusion 321. It can be understood that the arrangement manner of the limiting features on the inner rear housing 320 is not limiting, and the wind guiding operation principle of the wind outlet device of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 10, according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the first and second rotating shafts are disposed at a horizontal distance from the end of the inner rear case 320, and the first and second rotating shafts are disposed non-coaxially. It can be understood that the limiting feature on the inner rear casing 320 may be similar to that of the third embodiment, and the wind guiding operation principle of the wind outlet device of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 11, according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet device is not provided with an inner casing (or air dividing block), for example, when the second damper 520 is held at the third limit position (e.g., the illustrated substantially horizontal position) by the limiting feature, the second damper 520 and the lower surface of the outer upper casing 210 form the first air duct 250, and the second damper 520 and the upper surface of the outer lower casing 220 form the second air duct 260. It is understood that the first damper 510 and the second damper 520 are arranged in the same manner as the wind guiding operation principle of the fourth embodiment.

In summary, the air outlet device 100 according to the present invention can realize the adjustment of the wind direction and the closing of the air volume of the air outlet device 100 by the arrangement of the two air doors which can rotate independently and have different limit positions, so that the use is more flexible and convenient, and the air outlet device 100 has the advantages of compact structure, small occupied space, convenient assembly and low cost due to the small number of parts.
