Curved air vent

摘要

An air vent for conducting air flows, particularly for heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems in motor vehicles, has at least one housing, a shaft having air deflecting disks attached thereto, and a rotary drive for adjusting the shaft. In order to enable a high degree of design freedom, the housing of the air vent has an air outlet channel having a longitudinally curved structure, or such an air outlet channel is attached to a housing, and the shaft is a flexible shaft or a universal shaft, and the air deflection disks are attached to the shaft in a fixed or loose but rotationally secured manner and rotate with the shaft.

主权项

1. An air vent for conducting air flows, particularly for heating, air-conditioning and ventilating installations in motor vehicles, comprising at least one housing (5), a shaft (4) with air deflecting discs (3) mounted thereon and a rotary drive (2) for adjusting the shaft (4), wherein the housing (5) of the air vent (1) has an air outlet channel (5) with a longitudinally curved structure or such an air outlet channel (5) is mounted on the housing, wherein the shaft (4) is a flexible shaft (4) or an articulated shaft and comprises a longitudinally curved structure corresponding to the longitudinally curved structure of the air outlet channel, wherein airflow is parallel with a central axis of curvature of the longitudinally curved structures of the shaft and air outlet channel, and wherein the air deflecting discs (3) are mounted on the shaft (4) fixedly or loosely, but secure against rotation relative thereto, in such a manner that they rotate with the shaft (4), and wherein the deflecting discs bear against inner sides of the air outlet channel.
