[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the lifting structure of this embodiment includes: a support member 10, a lifting member 20 and a connecting mechanism. The lifting member 20 is disposed on the support member 10 in a liftable manner. The lifting member 20 has an open state for opening the air outlet and a closed state for closing the air outlet. Under the action of an external force, the lifting member 20 is switched between the open state and the closed state through the connecting mechanism.

[0041] Applying the lifting structure of this embodiment, under the action of an external force, the lifting member 20 is switched between the open state and the closed state through the connecting mechanism, and the lifting of the lifting member is realized by an external force, without the need to supply power to the lifting structure, effectively solving the problem that the lifting head assembly cannot return to its original position due to the loss of power of the power component when the air purifier is powered off.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism includes: a lifting elastic member 30 and a locking assembly. The lifting elastic member 30 is disposed between the support member 10 and the lifting member 20. The locking assembly has a first locking position for locking the lifting member 20 in the open state and a second locking position for locking the lifting member 20 in the closed state. Under the action of an external force and the lifting elastic member 30, the locking assembly switches between the first locking position and the second locking position. The lifting elastic member 30 provides power for the lifting of the lifting member. Assume that the initial state of the lifting member 20 is the closed state. When the lifting member 20 is pressed for the first time, the lifting member 20 compresses the lifting elastic member 30. When the pressing reaches the bottom and the lifting member 20 is released, the lifting member 20 pops up from the support member 10, and then under the action of the locking assembly, the lifting member 20 is locked in the open state. Then, when the lifting member 20 is pressed for the second time, the lifting member 20 compresses the lifting elastic member 30. When the pressing reaches the bottom and the lifting member 20 is released, the lifting member 20 also pops up upward from the support member 10, and then under the action of the locking assembly, the lifting member 20 is locked in the closed state. Among them, the height at which the lifting member 20 pops up upward during the first press is higher than the height at which the lifting member 20 pops up upward during the second press.

[0043] The structure of the power assembly in the prior art is complex and difficult to install. To solve this problem, in this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the locking assembly includes: a chute 41 and a fitting 42. The chute 41 is disposed on the outer wall of the lifting member 20. The chute 41 has a first locking structure and a second locking structure therein. The connecting end of the fitting 42 is connected to the support member 10, and the free end of the fitting 42 extends into the chute 41. Among them, when the free end cooperates with the first locking structure, the locking assembly is in the first locking position, and when the free end cooperates with the second locking structure, the locking assembly is in the second locking position. When the lifting member 20 is pressed, the free end of the fitting 42 can slide in the chute 41. The structure of the connecting mechanism is simple, convenient for installation, and improves the installation efficiency. There are three locking assemblies. Of course, the number of locking assemblies can also be selected according to specific circumstances and is not limited thereto.

[0044] In this embodiment, the chute 41 includes a first groove section 411, a second groove section 412, a third groove section 413, and a fourth groove section 414 connected in sequence. The first groove section 411, the second groove section 412, the third groove section 413, and the fourth groove section 414 enclose a heart shape, that is In this state, the third groove section 413 is symmetrically arranged with the second groove section 412, and the fourth groove section 414 is symmetrically arranged with the first groove section 411. A second locking structure is provided at the connection between the second groove section 412 and the third groove section 413, and a first locking structure is provided at the connection between the fourth groove section 414 and the first groove section 411. When the lifting member 20 is in the closed state, the second locking structure cooperates with the free end of the fitting 42. When the lifting member is in the open state, the first locking structure cooperates with the free end of the fitting 42. When the lifting member 20 is switched from the closed state to the open state, when the lifting member 20 is pressed, the free end of the fitting 42 moves from the connection between the second groove section 412 and the third groove section 413 along the third groove section 413 to the connection between the third groove section 413 and the fourth groove section 414. When the lifting member 20 is released, under the action of the lifting elastic member 30, the free end of the fitting 42 moves from the connection between the third groove section 413 and the fourth groove section 414 along the fourth groove section 414 to the connection between the fourth groove section 414 and the first groove section 411, and the first locking structure cooperates with the free end of the fitting 42. When the lifting member 20 is switched from the open state to the closed state, when the lifting member 20 is pressed, the free end of the fitting 42 moves from the connection between the fourth groove section 414 and the first groove section 411 along the first groove section 411 to the connection between the first groove section 411 and the second groove section 412. When the lifting member 20 is released, under the action of the lifting elastic member 30, the free end of the fitting 42 moves from the connection between the first groove section 411 and the second groove section 412 along the second groove section 412 to the connection between the second groove section 412 and the third groove section 413, and the second locking structure cooperates with the free end of the fitting 42.

[0045] In this embodiment, a first step 415 is formed at the connection between the bottom surface of the fourth groove section 414 and the bottom surface of the first groove section 411. The first step 415 forms the first locking structure, which has a simple structure and is convenient for processing and manufacturing. A second step 416 is formed at the connection between the bottom surface of the second groove section 412 and the bottom surface of the third groove section 413. The second step 416 forms the second locking structure, which has a simple structure and is convenient for processing and manufacturing. Steps are also formed at the connection between the bottom surface of the first groove section 411 and the second groove section 412 and at the connection between the bottom surface of the third groove section 413 and the bottom surface of the fourth groove section 414. The steps play a role in limiting, ensuring that the free end of the fitting of the released lifting member moves along the fourth groove section 414 or the second groove section 412.

[0046] In this embodiment, the groove depths of the first groove section 411, the second groove section 412, the third groove section 413 and the fourth groove section 414 gradually become shallower in the counterclockwise direction, facilitating the formation of a step. When the lifting member 20 switches between the open state and the closed state, the free end of the fitting 42 moves in the counterclockwise direction in the chute. Of course, the groove depths of the first groove section 411, the second groove section 412, the third groove section 413 and the fourth groove section 414 gradually become shallower in the clockwise direction. At this time, when the lifting member 20 switches between the open state and the closed state, the free end of the fitting 42 moves in the clockwise direction in the chute.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the lifting member 20 has a first vertical wall 261, the chute 41 is provided on the first vertical wall 261, the supporting member 10 has a second vertical wall 151 that cooperates with the first vertical wall 261, and the fitting 42 is provided on the second vertical wall 151, ensuring that the free end of the fitting is always in contact with the bottom of the chute, and simplifying the structure of the fitting.

[0048] In this embodiment, the fitting 42 is connected to the outer wall of the supporting member 10. The supporting member 10 has an avoidance opening 11 for avoiding the movement of the free end of the fitting 42, which facilitates the installation of the fitting and also simplifies the structure. The area of the avoidance opening 11 is larger than the area enclosed by the outer contour of the chute. Specifically, the fitting 42 includes an L-shaped section 421, and the short section of the L-shaped section 421 forms the free end, which has a simple structure and is convenient for processing. The fitting 42 further includes a spiral section 422 connected to the long section of the L-shaped section 421. The spiral section 422 forms a connection end, that is, the fitting is a spring, which is convenient to use and has a low cost. Of course, the spiral section 422 can also be replaced by an arc section.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the supporting member 10 has a connection structure 50, and the spiral section 422 is sleeved on the connection structure 50. Since the groove depth of each groove section of the chute changes continuously, when the short section slides in the chute, the spiral section 422 can move back and forth on the connection structure 50 in a direction perpendicular to the lifting direction of the lifting member. Specifically, the connection structure 50 includes two oppositely arranged connecting rods 51, and a limit protrusion 511 is provided on the outer wall of the end of each connecting rod 51 away from the supporting member 10. The limit protrusion 511 plays a role in limiting the spiral section to prevent the spiral section from slipping out, making the fixation more firm and reliable. The connection structure 50 is located below the avoidance opening.

[0050] In this embodiment, the connecting structure 50 further includes a fixing post 52. The first end of the fixing post 52 is fixed on the supporting member 10, and one ends of the two connecting rods 51 facing the supporting member 10 are fixed on the second end of the fixing post 52. The fixing post 52 is perpendicular to the second vertical wall. At this time, the connecting rods form suspension rods. When installing the spiral section, the suspension rods are deformed under the extrusion of the spiral section, which is convenient for installation. Of course, the fixing post 52 may not be provided.

[0051] In this embodiment, a guiding structure for guiding the lifting of the lifting member 20 is provided between the lifting member 20 and the supporting member 10, so that the lifting member 20 moves more smoothly, ensuring the stability when the lifting member rises or falls. Specifically, the guiding structure includes guiding posts 21 provided on the outer wall of the lifting member 20 and guiding grooves provided on the inner wall of the supporting member 10, and the guiding grooves cooperate with the guiding posts 21. There are three guiding structures. Of course, the number of guiding structures can also be selected according to specific situations and is not limited to this.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a switch 60 is provided on the supporting member 10. The switch 60 has a pressing portion 61. The lifting member 20 has a driving structure that cooperates with the pressing portion 61 of the switch 60 and an avoiding structure that avoids the pressing portion 61. When the lifting member 20 is in the open state, the driving structure cooperates with the pressing portion 61. When the lifting member 20 is in the closed state, the avoiding structure cooperates with the pressing portion 61. The switch 60 controls the opening or closing of the whole machine. The lifting of the lifting member is linked with the switch. When the lifting member opens the air outlet, the whole machine is turned on. When the lifting member closes the air outlet, the whole machine is turned off. Only by pressing the lifting can the whole machine be opened and closed and the lifting member be lifted. Specifically, the driving structure is a driving inclined surface 22, and the avoiding structure is an avoiding groove 23 extending in the vertical direction. The driving inclined surface 22 is formed on the groove wall of the avoiding groove 23. At this time, the pressing portion 61 faces the lifting member. When the lifting member rises to a specific position, the driving inclined surface 22 presses the pressing portion 61 of the switch, and the switch is turned on, and the whole machine is turned on. When the lifting member descends to a specific position, the driving inclined surface 22 disengages from the pressing portion 61 of the switch, and the switch is turned off, and the whole machine is turned off.

[0053] In this embodiment, the air outlet is formed on the top of the supporting member 10. The lifting member 20 is disposed in the supporting member 10 in a liftable manner. The edge of the upper part of the lifting member 20 cooperates with the inner edge of the upper part of the supporting member. The opening and closing of the air outlet are realized by the lifting of the lifting member. Of course, the air outlet can also be provided at other positions of the supporting member or on the lifting member.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, the support member 10 includes an outer cylinder 13, a middle cylinder 14 connected inside the outer cylinder 13, and an inner cylinder 15 connected to the lower end of the middle cylinder 14. The outer diameter of the middle cylinder 14 gradually decreases from top to bottom. An air outlet duct is formed between the upper part of the lifting member 20 and the outer cylinder 13 and the middle cylinder 14. The lower part of the lifting member 20 cooperates with the inner cylinder 15. The middle cylinder 14 plays a role in guiding the flow, facilitating the outflow of the air flow. In this embodiment, the support member 10 further includes a ring body 16 connected to the lower end of the middle cylinder 14 and the upper end of the inner cylinder 15. The ring body 16 is provided with air outlet through holes 161. The air flow flows into the air outlet duct through the air outlet through holes 161 and then flows out through the air outlet. The middle cylinder 14 is formed by rotating a curved line arched towards the lifting member around the vertical axis by 360°, and the flow guiding effect is better. Of course, the middle cylinder 14 can also be a conical cylinder.

[0055] In this embodiment, the support member 10 further includes a support ring 17 connected to the lower end of the inner cylinder 15. The support ring 17 is used to support the lifting elastic member 30.

[0056] In this embodiment, the lifting member is in an umbrella shape. Specifically, the lifting member 20 includes an umbrella surface 24, an upper cylinder 25 connected to the umbrella surface 24, and a lower cylinder 26 connected to the lower end of the upper cylinder 25. The outer diameter of the upper cylinder 25 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The upper cylinder 25 cooperates with the outer cylinder 13 and the middle cylinder 14, and the lower cylinder 26 cooperates with the inner cylinder 15. The upper cylinder 25 plays a role in guiding the flow, facilitating the outflow of the air flow. The upper cylinder 25 is formed by rotating a curved line arched towards the umbrella surface 24 around the vertical axis by 360°, and the flow guiding effect is better. Of course, the upper cylinder 25 can also be a conical cylinder.

[0057] In this embodiment, the support member 10 further includes a connecting ring and a first straight cylinder 19 connected between the upper end of the outer cylinder and the upper end of the middle cylinder. The lifting member 20 further includes a second straight cylinder 28 connected between the umbrella surface 24 and the upper cylinder 25. The outer wall of the second straight cylinder 28 cooperates with the inner wall of the first straight cylinder 19, and the height of the second straight cylinder 28 is less than the height of the first straight cylinder 19, which is convenient for pressing the lifting member in the closed state.

[0058] In this embodiment, the lifting elastic member 30 abuts between the bottom of the support member 10 and the bottom of the lifting member 20, which is convenient for assembly and improves the assembly efficiency.
