detailed description

The vehicle air conditioner air outlet assembly proposed by the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Advantages and features of the present invention will be apparent from the following description and claims. It should be noted that all the drawings are in a very simplified form and use imprecise scales, and are only used to facilitate and clearly assist the purpose of illustrating the embodiments of the present invention.

The technical solution of the air outlet assembly proposed by the present invention is that the top of a blade of the air outlet is partially chrome-plated, and the position of the chrome-plated decoration can remain unchanged during the rotation of the blade, so that the air outlet is visually covered by a Divided into two, to improve the aesthetics of the air outlet.

In order to manufacture the air outlet assembly with the above structure, the performance requirements of the air outlet blades are high, and the test requirements are also high, so it is difficult to develop this type of blades. First of all, blades require high rigidity, high strength, high temperature resistance, light resistance, and weather resistance, so only high-strength and high-performance materials can be used to manufacture blades, such as PA66-GF50, PBT-GF50. However, these materials do not have electroplating properties and cannot be electroplated. Electroplating after double-material injection molding is also not acceptable, because the base material as the blade body is easily deformed, discolored or partially attached to some chromium layers that are easy to fall off during the electroplating process. Secondly, in order to ensure that the position of the chrome-plated decoration remains unchanged after the blade rotates, the rotating shaft must be arranged close to the top of the blade, which will cause a tight space for the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft cannot be made larger and stronger.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a vehicle-mounted air conditioner air outlet assembly and a manufacturing method thereof.

Embodiment one

Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, Fig. 1 is the structural representation of housing assembly in the present invention; Fig. 2 is the structural representation of panel assembly in the present invention; Fig. 3 is the structural representation of vehicle-mounted air conditioner air outlet assembly in the present invention . The air outlet assembly of the vehicle-mounted air conditioner includes a casing assembly 1, and the casing assembly 1 includes a casing 10 and a plurality of blades 11 arranged in the casing 10; wherein, each blade 11 along its length direction Two ends are respectively provided with a rotating shaft, and the outer edge of at least one blade 11 in the plurality of blades 11 is provided with a first chrome-plated part 12, that is, a reflective strip with metallic luster, and the rotating shaft at the two ends of the at least one blade 11 The assembly position is closer to the outward edge of the blade 11 than the assembly positions of the rotating shafts at both ends of the other blades 11 . The length direction here means that the blades are generally strip-shaped, and the direction with the longest length is the length direction, and the outward edge refers to the edge of the blade 11 towards the outlet side of the air outlet, which can be seen by passengers.

Specifically, the reflective strip with metallic luster is a reflective strip formed by covering metal, such as aluminum strip or aluminum foil or stainless steel strip, or non-metal, such as plastic reflective film, on the outward edge of the blade, or it can be a separate chrome-plated parts. For example, it is formed by chrome-plating or hot-stamping non-metallic strips that can be chrome-plated or hot-stamped and covered on the outer edge of the blade, or by electroplating, spraying, etc. The production process is directly covered at the edge of the blade.

Please refer to Fig. 4 and Fig. 6, the edge of only one blade 11 in the shell assembly in this embodiment is provided with the first chrome-plated part 12, and the first chrome-plated part 12 surrounds the outer surface of the edge of the blade 11, is provided with for The cavity at the outer edge of the sleeve socket blade is semicircular in cross-section along the width direction, and the rotating shaft 13b in the body of the blade 11 is located at the center of the semicircle when viewed from the side.

In Fig. 7b, the solid line is the original state diagram before the blade 11 rotates, the dotted line is the state diagram after the blade 11 rotates, and the position of the first chrome-plated part 12 remains unchanged before and after the rotation. The principle that the position of the first chrome-plated part 12 remains unchanged is: because the assembly position of the rotating shaft 13b at the two ends of the blade 11 that is provided with the first chrome-plated part 12 is compared with that of the rotating shaft 13a at the two ends of the blade that is not provided with the first chrome-plated part 12 The assembly position is closer to the edge of the blade, so when the blade 11 with the first chrome-plated part 12 on the edge rotates arbitrarily, the position of the first chrome-plated part 12 is less affected by the rotation of the blade, so that the passenger feels that the position of the reflective strip remains unchanged. Visually divide the air outlet of the car air conditioner into two, which improves the aesthetics.

Please refer to FIG. 5 , a part of the rotating shaft at both ends of the blade with metallic reflective strips 12 on the outer edge is located inside the blade, and the rest of the rotating shaft protrudes from the blade and overlaps the housing 10 . For example, in FIG. 5 , a part of the rotating shaft 13 b is located inside the blade, and the remaining part protrudes from the blade and overlaps the casing 10 . Preferably, a metal shaft with a diameter of 1 mm is selected for each of the rotating shafts to meet the strength requirements of the rotating shaft, and the structure space is saved due to the existence of the rotating shaft.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the air outlet assembly of the vehicle air conditioner also includes a panel assembly 2 fixedly connected to the housing assembly 1, preferably, the housing assembly 1 is connected to the housing assembly 1 through plastic clips. The panel assembly 2 is fixedly connected. Wherein, the panel assembly 2 includes a panel 20 and a second chrome-plated part 21 fixed on the panel 20, that is, a reflective strip with metallic luster on the left side and a third chrome-plated part 22, that is, a reflective strip with metallic luster on the right side. The second chrome-plated part 21 and the third chrome-plated part 22 are used to cover the remaining part of the rotating shaft protruding from the blade 11 and overlapping on the casing 10, so as to achieve aesthetic appearance and have the first On the premise that the chrome-plated part 12, the second chrome-plated part 21 and the third chrome-plated part 22 are integrally unified, they play a role in restricting the rotation shaft 13b from leaving the predetermined position, and improve the stability of the air outlet assembly of the vehicle air conditioner.
