Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a register, for example, which is mounted on an instrument panel of a vehicle to perform air conditioning of a vehicle interior.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional barrel type register is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. As is clear from these drawings, a plurality of horizontal fins 52 are formed inside the barrel body 50 on the front surface side (lower surface side in FIG. 6) at regular intervals in the vertical direction of FIG. ing. Further, a plurality of blades 60 are arranged at regular intervals in the left-right direction of the drawing on the back side of the horizontal fins 52 in the barrel body 50 (the side closer to the upper surface in FIG. 6). Each of these blades 60 is rotatably assembled to the barrel main body 50 by a shaft 62 shown in FIG.

An operation knob 70 is integrally formed with one of the above-mentioned blades 60, which is located at the center of the center blade 60A. And a part of this operation knob 70 (operation part 70
a) projects from the space between the two horizontal fins 52 to the front surface side of the barrel body 50. Therefore, by moving the operation knob 70 on the front surface side of the barrel body 50 in the left-right direction in the drawing, the center blade 60A is rotated about the shaft 62.

The rotation of the center blade 60A is also transmitted to the other general blades 60B through the connecting rod 66 shown in FIG. 6, so that the blades 60 are simultaneously rotated. As a result, the blowing direction and the blowing amount of air from the barrel body 50 are adjusted.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In the register shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, when the operation knob 70 is operated in either the left or right direction as shown by the phantom line in FIG. It is hidden between the horizontal fins 52. That is, as the operation knob 70 is operated in the left-right direction, its operation portion 70a
The projecting amount of is gradually reduced, and the operability deteriorates.

A technical problem of this invention is to provide a register in which the operability of an operation knob for rotating an operation blade member (blade) is improved.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the register of the present invention is configured as follows.

That is, an operation blade member (for example, a blade) and a plurality of fixed blade members (for example, horizontal fins) are arranged orthogonally to each other inside a frame (for example, a barrel body) that constitutes an air outlet. In the register of the type in which the blowing direction and the blowing amount of the air blown through the frame body by the rotating operation of the fixed blade member are provided integrally or integrally with the operation blade member. The operation knob, a part of which is protruded toward the front side of the frame through the space, and the operation knob so that the protrusion amounts are substantially equal in the rotation range of the operation knob required for the rotation operation of the operation blade member. And a notch formed in the fixed blade member adjacent to the knob.

[Action]

According to the above configuration, due to the cutout portion formed in the fixed blade member adjacent to the operation knob, there is almost no change in the amount of protrusion of the operation knob at any rotation position,
Operability does not change. Therefore, the operability for rotating the operation blade member is improved.

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following embodiments, the present invention is applied to a vehicle register.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a barrel type resistor, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG.
In these drawings, the barrel main body 10 as a frame forming the air outlet to the passenger compartment is a molded product made of a material such as synthetic resin. Inside the barrel body 10, a plurality of horizontal fins 12 as fixed blade members are integrally formed with the barrel body 10 on the front surface side (the lower surface side in FIG. 2). The horizontal fins 12 are arranged in parallel with each other at a constant interval in the vertical direction of FIG.

The outer shape of the barrel main body 10 is substantially arcuate from the upper surface to the front surface and the lower surface (see FIG. 1), and support projections 16 are integrally formed on both side surfaces. The barrel main body 10 is rotatably assembled to a barrel retainer or the like provided at the vent passage outlet of an instrument panel (not shown) with the support projection 16 as a fulcrum.

In the barrel body 10, a plurality of blades 20 as operation blade members are arranged on the back side of the horizontal fin 12 (the side closer to the upper surface in FIG. 2) at regular intervals in the horizontal direction of the drawing. As is clear from FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 which will be described later, each of these blades 20 is integrally formed with a support shaft 22 at the center of the upper and lower end surfaces thereof. Each blade 20 is rotatably assembled to the barrel body 10 with each support shaft 22 as a fulcrum.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a single center blade 20A located in the middle of the blades 20. As is clear from FIG. 3, the center blade
The operation knob 30 is formed integrally with the 20A. The operation portion 30a at the end of the operation knob 30 projects to the front side of the barrel body 10 from between the upper and lower two horizontal fins 12A of the horizontal fin 12 adjacent to the operation knob 30.

As shown in FIG. 3, the center blade 20A
A pin 24 is formed on the lower surface of the. Although not shown, the other general blades 20B also have pins of the same shape as the pins 24. The pins of each blade 20, including the pin 24 of the center blade 20A, are connected to the connecting rods 26 of FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively. Therefore, when the center blade 20A is rotated around its support shaft 22 by operating the operation knob 30 in the left-right direction in the drawing, the other general blades 20B are also rotated around their support shaft 22 through the connecting rod 26. It is operated to rotate all at once.

Now, in the two horizontal fins 12A adjacent to the operation knob 30, the cutout portion 14 has the center blade along the rotation locus of the operation portion 30a of the operation knob 30 when the blade 20 is rotated as described above. It is formed in an arc shape around the axis of the support shaft 22 of 20A.

In the register having the above-described structure, the barrel main body 10 is rotated around its supporting protrusion 16 and each blade 20 is rotated around its corresponding support shaft 22 to form a barrel main body.
The direction of the air blown through 10 is adjusted vertically and horizontally, and at the same time the amount of air blown is also adjusted.

Further, FIGS. 4A and 4B show a state in which the blade 20 is rotated. As is apparent from these drawings, when the operation knob 30 is operated from the position shown in FIG. 2 to the position shown in FIG. 4A or the position shown in FIG. The amount of protrusion of the operation portion 30a of the operation knob 30 on the front surface side of 10 is always kept substantially even. That is, the projecting amount of the operating portion 30a becomes substantially uniform within the operating range of the operating knob 30 by the notch 14 of the horizontal fin 12A, and the operability is improved.

An embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings.
The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but includes various embodiments.

For example, the blade 20 may have only the center blade 20A including the operation knob 30. Regarding the relationship between the fixed blade member and the operation blade member exemplified by the horizontal fin 12 and the blade 20, the fixed blade members are arranged in parallel along the left-right direction, and the operation blade members are arranged along the up-down direction. The configuration may be different.

[Effect of the Invention] As described above, the present invention improves the operability of the operation knob by keeping the protrusion amount substantially constant in the rotation range of the operation knob required for the rotation operation of the operation blade member. You can
