Therefore, the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention, and should not be considered as limiting or restricting the technical solutions of the present invention in their entirety or in any other way.

The terms of orientation of up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, and the like referred to or may be referred to in this specification are defined relative to the configuration shown in the drawings, and are relative terms, and thus may be changed correspondingly according to the position and the use state of the device. Therefore, these and other directional terms should not be construed as limiting terms.

Fig. 1 to 3 schematically show an air-conditioning outlet 1 according to the invention. The air outlet 1 includes a housing 11, an air passage 12, an air inlet 121, and an air outlet 122. The housing 11 is constructed in a split manner as an upper housing 111 and a lower housing 112. Wherein the air channel 12 is arranged relatively expandable close to the air exit 122. In order to adjust the air flow direction (simply referred to as the wind direction, schematically indicated by arrows in the drawings), there are further provided a main blade 13 and a sub-blade 14 (see fig. 4) for adjusting the air flow direction in the vertical direction (that is, causing the air to flow at an angle upward or downward by the adjustment) and a sub-blade 15 for adjusting the air flow direction in the horizontal direction (that is, causing the air to flow at an angle leftward or rightward by the adjustment). The main blade 13, the auxiliary blade 14 and the auxiliary blade 15 are arranged in the air duct 12 in this order, wherein the main blade 13 is arranged at the front end of the air outlet 1, in particular, in a vertical direction flush with the front end of the housing 11. The front end of the secondary blade 14 is rotatably connected, for example, hingedly connected, to the main blade 13, and the other end of the secondary blade 14 can be arranged at both side walls of the housing 11 in a sliding groove slider manner. More precisely, the end of the secondary blade 14 has a slide 141, for example in the form of a latch, and a corresponding slot 113 is provided in the side wall of the housing 11, and during operation, the slide 141 slides in the slot 113 to rotate the secondary blade 14. For example, the slotted guide 113 on the side wall can be configured like a U (see fig. 5).

Optionally, a stop structure (not shown) made of an elastic rubber material can be further provided at the end of the sliding slot 113 at the side wall of the housing for limiting the limit position of the slider 141 of the secondary blade and for cushioning.

As can be seen clearly from fig. 3, a plurality of secondary blades, which can optionally be arranged perpendicular to the housing, are arranged in a row between the air inlet 121 and the secondary blades 14. Each secondary blade 15 projects at the end through a bore provided in the housing 11. At the lower end, the secondary blades 15 are grouped together by secondary blade links 16. The secondary blade links 16 are designed in the form of rods, and the secondary blades 15 are each fixedly connected to the secondary blade links 16 via associated webs 151. In the process of adjusting the wind direction, if one of the secondary blades 15 swings around the swing axis L, the other secondary blades 15 are driven to swing together. It follows that the secondary blade link 16 should be arranged on the swing radius of the secondary blade swing movement relative to the secondary blade 15. Specifically, the distance between the secondary-blade link 16 and the swing axis L of the secondary blade 15 is equivalent to the swing radius thereof.

In addition, a first drive device 17 for driving the main blade 13 to rotate and a second drive device 19 for driving the sub-blade 15 to perform a swinging motion are provided. In the present embodiment, the output end of the second driving device 19 is fixedly connected with the middle secondary central blade 151, and during operation, the second driving device 19 indirectly causes all the secondary blades 15 to swing by directly driving the secondary central blade 151 to swing left and right around the swing axis L thereof, so as to adjust the flow angle of air flowing therebetween in the left and right directions. In this case, the second drive device 19 can be arranged at the upper housing 111, that is to say in a recess outside the housing 11 (see fig. 1 and 4), which can effectively improve the space utilization of the vehicle compared to the arrangement at the secondary blade link 16.

The connection between the first drive means 17 and the main blade 13 can be realized by means of a first linkage 18. According to fig. 6, the first linkage 18 comprises a main link 181 connected to the first drive means 17 and a secondary link arranged outside the housing 11 at the side of the main blade. In the present embodiment, two main blades 13 are exemplarily provided so that the sub link connected thereto is configured to include two sub link branches, i.e., a sub link first branch 182 and a sub link second branch 183, which are respectively rotatable around a sub link main body 184. A slider 185, for example, a slider in the form of a latch, is provided on the sub link main body 184, and a slide groove 186 is correspondingly formed in the main link 181. During operation, the first driving device 17 directly drives the main link 181 to rotate, and the slider 185 slides in the chute 186 of the main link, thereby driving the

sub-link branches

182 and 183 to rotate, and finally rotating the main blade 13 connected thereto. Then, the rotation of the main blade 13 drives the slider 141 of the sub-blade connected thereto to slide in the sliding slot 113 at the side wall of the housing, thereby driving the sub-blade 14 to rotate. Instead of manually striking the main blade, the change of the angle of the main blade 13 is effected automatically by means of the first drive means 17, in the entire process only the rotation axis of the main blade 13 (that is to say the front end of the main blade) being visible, which achieves the purpose of hiding the main blade to a certain extent.

Optionally, a stop structure (not shown) made of an elastic rubber material is provided at the end of the slide groove 186 of the main link for limiting the limit position of the slider 185 and for cushioning.

Optionally, a protrusion 114 is further disposed on the housing 11 between the main link 181 and the auxiliary link of the first link mechanism for preventing the main link and the auxiliary link from being disengaged, and specifically for preventing the slider 185 of the auxiliary link from being released from the slide groove 186 of the main link. This is accomplished primarily by the height of the tab 114 being substantially coincident with the secondary link main body 184, with the primary link 181 being above the tab 114 in the assembled condition so that the primary link 181 lies substantially in a plane with the secondary link main body 184 of the secondary link. The protrusion 114 is dividedly constructed in two parts, respectively on the upper case 111 and the lower case 112. The projection 114 can be configured, for example, in a U-like manner (see fig. 1).

Alternatively, a protrusion 115 (see fig. 1) of a split configuration is also disposed on the housing at the junction of the secondary link and the secondary link branch, taking into account that there is a certain height difference between the secondary link main body 184 and the secondary link branch and the housing.

Fig. 4 and 5 show the air outlet 1 in an intermediate position, i.e. in a horizontal outlet position. At this time, the

sub link branches

182, 183 are parallel to the main link 181, and the slider 141 of the sub vane 14 is at the bottom of the chute 113 at the side wall.

In contrast, fig. 7 and 8 show the air outlet 1 in a first extreme position, that is to say in the upward air-out position. At this time, the main blade 13 and the sub-blade 14 have a certain angle therebetween. Accordingly, the second extreme position shown in fig. 6, i.e. the downwind position, can also be achieved by merely changing the direction of rotation of the first drive 17. In other words, the air direction can be adjusted in the left-right direction and the up-down direction by the arrangement of the main blades 13, the sub-blades 14, and the sub-blades 15.

Optionally, a limiting structure (not shown) can also be disposed on the housing 11 for limiting the maximum angle of swing of the first linkage 18, that is, the positions of the

secondary link branches

182, 183 in the wind-up position and the wind-down position. The limiting structure can have a structure made of rubber elastic materials, so that the limiting structure can have a buffering effect on the auxiliary connecting rod branch in motion.

It should be noted that the air outlet 1 according to the present invention can not only realize the above-mentioned intermediate position (i.e. the horizontal air outlet position), but also realize any intermediate position between the first limit position and the second limit position. In other words, air can be discharged at an arbitrary angle in the vertical direction.

Furthermore, feet 20 are provided on the housing, by means of which feet the air outlet 1 is fixed to the frame 2 of the instrument panel. The feet 20 can be constructed integrally with the housing or can be fixed to the housing as separate parts by a welded connection. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the air outlet 1 is fastened to the instrument panel skeleton 2 by means of feet 20 in a screw connection, which facilitates the removal and maintenance of the air outlet 1.

Further, the front end of the air outlet 1 is not integrally configured with the decorative plate of the instrument panel, but the air outlet 1 is assembled with the decorative plate with a step in the up-down or front-rear direction, by which the decorative plate can partially cover the front end of the air outlet, that is, the front end of the main blade 13 in the assembled state. This facilitates the purpose of concealing the main blades of the air-conditioning outlet and enables simple disassembly and assembly.

The utility model discloses still include a vehicle air conditioning system, have the air-conditioning outlet according to aforementioned arbitrary one or more embodiments, the technical characterstic that it consequently has and the technological effect that has correspond to preceding description, and the retrench is no longer repeated here.

The present invention also includes a vehicle having an air-conditioning outlet according to any one or more of the embodiments described above, wherein the technical features and effects thereof are as described above, and are therefore not repeated herein.

It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive, and that various modifications and changes in the specific embodiments described above, which may occur to those skilled in the art upon reading the teachings of the present invention, are intended to be within the scope of the appended claims.
