The sliding door 91 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the second air duct part 20, and the sliding door 91 has a sealing position for closing the vent 22, and the sliding door 91 has a avoidance position for opening the vent 22. This arrangement makes the structure of the first damper mechanism 90 simple and easy to process, and the first damper mechanism 90 can be easily driven to the vent 22 or driven away from the vent 22 by the third driving part 95.
[0125] The outer surface of the sliding door 91 is provided with a sliding rack 92, and the output end of the third driving part 95 is provided with a gear meshing with the sliding rack 92, and the third driving part 95 can drive the sliding door 91 to slide along the circumferential direction of the second air duct part 20. This arrangement can improve the stability of the sliding door 91 when sliding.
[0126] Preferably, the sliding door 91 is an arc-shaped structure. When the sliding door 91 is in the avoidance position, the inner surface of the sliding door 91 fits with the outer surface of the second air duct portion 20. When the sliding door 91 is in the sealing position, a sealed passage is formed between the inner surface of the sliding door 91 and the inner surface of the second air duct portion 20. This arrangement can reduce the space required for the sliding door 91 to slide. Preferably, the curvature of the sliding door 91 is the same as the curvature of the corresponding surface of the second air duct portion 20.
[0127] In order to enable the sliding door 91 to adapt to the second air duct portion 20 structure with different inner diameters and outer surfaces, a plurality of sliding doors 91 may be provided, and the plurality of sliding doors 91 are stacked in the vertical direction to form a sealing baffle structure.
[0128] In order to further improve the reliability of the sliding door when sliding, at least one first limiting slide rail 93 is provided on the outer surface of the second air duct portion 20. The sliding door 91 is slidably connected to the first limiting slide rail 93.

[0129] like Fig.21 As shown, in order to enable the sliding door 91 to slide smoothly on the outer peripheral side of the second air duct portion 20, a first roller assembly 94 can be arranged in the first limiting slide rail 93. This arrangement can reduce the friction between the sliding door 91 and the second air duct portion 20.
[0130] In this embodiment, when the sliding door 91 is located at the sealing position, the lower end portion of the fan portion 30 close to the sliding door 91 is exposed outside the second air duct portion 20 .
[0131] Preferably, the vent 22 is an arc-shaped structure, and the arc of the vent 22 is 90°. This arrangement can improve the performance of the fan assembly.
[0132] like Figures 23 to 28 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present application, the damper mechanism includes a second damper mechanism 100. The second damper mechanism 100 includes a fourth driving portion 101 and a damper assembly 102. The fourth driving portion 101 is connected to the second air duct portion 20. The damper assembly 102 is movably connected to the second air duct portion 20, and the fourth driving portion 101 can drive the damper assembly 102 to move along the radial direction of the second air duct portion 20 to a sealing position or a avoiding position.
[0133] Specifically, when the damper assembly 102 is located at the sealing position, the first damper mechanism 90 is located at the sealing position, the damper assembly 102 is arranged opposite to the first damper mechanism 90, and the end of the fan part 30 located on one side of the damper assembly 102 is located in the second air duct part 20 surrounded by the damper assembly 102. The second damper mechanism 100 and the first damper mechanism 90 perform position switching operations independently. Such an arrangement can realize independent control of the damper mechanism and improve the reliability of the fan assembly.
[0134] like Fig. 27 As shown, the damper assembly 102 includes a mounting plate and an air inlet door 104. At least one second limiting slide rail 103 is arranged on the mounting plate. The first end of the second limiting slide rail 103 is connected to the second air duct portion 20, and the second end of the second limiting slide rail 103 is arranged away from the second air duct portion 20. The air inlet door 104 can be movably arranged in the second limiting slide rail 103, and the outer edge of the air inlet door 104 is provided with a damper rack 105, and the output end of the fourth driving unit 101 is provided with a driving gear meshing with the damper rack 105. The fourth driving unit 101 can drive the air inlet door 104 to be located in a sealing position or an avoidance position along the radial direction of the second air duct portion 20. When the air inlet door 104 is located in the avoidance position, the air inlet door 104 is arranged away from the second air duct portion 20, and the end of the fan unit 30 located on the side of the air inlet door 104 is exposed outside the second air duct portion 20, as shown in FIG. Fig.26 As shown in F.
[0135] The air door assembly 102 also includes a slide rail cover 106. The slide rail cover 106 is connected to the mounting plate and is located above the mounting plate and the air inlet door 104. This arrangement can improve the reliability of the air door assembly and prevent dust from falling into the slide rail to affect the smoothness of the air inlet door sliding.
[0136] like Fig.28 As shown, there are multiple air inlet doors 104, and the multiple air inlet doors 104 are connected in sequence to form an air inlet door structure with an inner wall surface being a curved surface.
[0137] A second roller assembly 107 is provided between the air inlet door 104 and the second position-limiting slide rail 103. This arrangement reduces the friction between the air inlet door 104 and the slide rail, and improves the sliding smoothness of the air inlet door 104.
[0138] The fan assembly in the above embodiment can also be used in the technical field of air-conditioning equipment, that is, according to another aspect of the present invention, an air-conditioning cabinet is provided. The air-conditioning cabinet includes a fan assembly, and the fan assembly is the fan assembly in the above embodiment. Among them, the air-conditioning cabinet includes a shell and a heat exchanger. The shell has an upper air port and a lower air port. The heat exchanger is arranged in the shell, and at least one fan assembly is arranged in the shell. The fan assembly can introduce the airflow outside the shell into the shell through the upper air port, perform heat exchange with the heat exchanger, and then discharge it outside the shell through the lower air port. Alternatively, the fan assembly can introduce the airflow outside the shell into the shell through the lower air port, perform heat exchange with the heat exchanger, and then discharge it outside the shell through the upper air port.
[0139] Specifically, the air conditioning cabinet of the present application adopts a mixed flow fan with a special blade shape, which can realize the upper and lower air outlet modes of the upper and lower reversible air outlet duct. The effect of upper and lower convection air outlet is achieved by using the different air ducts. In order to realize the application on the air conditioning shell, a motion mechanism is designed on the air duct assembly to realize the upper and lower air outlet mode switching control method, and the motor gear is used to control each motion mechanism scheme to switch, so as to realize the conversion of the upper air outlet and lower air outlet modes, thereby meeting the requirements of two air flow circulations of the air conditioning shell. In the lower air outlet mode, the control of the switching mechanism is used. The lower end of the air duct sliding door is further reduced to increase the effect of the wind blade side air intake during the drum-shaped upper air outlet, so as to realize the switching scheme when further optimizing the upper air outlet effect.
[0140] There are two types of fan blades. One is the basic fan blade impeller, and the other is based on the same hub and blade shape. The large end of the hub in the middle of the fan blade is equipped with a splitter blade according to the need for rectification or increasing the working surface. This fan blade has both the effect of axial flow working air outlet and the effect of centrifugal fan blade. The two air ducts can meet the needs of upper and lower air outlets. The difference between the two air ducts is that the opening at the top of the fan blade is drum-shaped or contracted. When it is a drum-shaped upper opening, it can be used for upper air outlet, and when it is a contracted upper opening, it can be used for lower air outlet.
[0141] The air conditioner cabinet includes an air duct body, a mixed flow fan blade, a fan blade motor, and a support frame as a fixed structure. When the cooling mode is running, in order to avoid cold wind blowing directly on people and achieve the effect of shower-type cooling, the lower air inlet is opened and the upper air outlet is opened. At this time, the air duct mechanism is in the upper air outlet mode, that is, the shrinkage air duct skeleton moves outward under the drive of the switching motor, driving the other shrinkage air duct skeletons to move outward synchronously to the extent of exiting the inner circle of the fixed frame, giving way to the middle upper air outlet air duct structure, and then the drum-shaped air duct skeleton is superimposed from top to bottom. Under the action of the switching motor driven gear rack, the drum-shaped air duct skeleton moves downward and then overlaps the limiting structure of the previous skeleton through the inner circle of the upper edge of the skeleton, driving it to move downward together. When it is closed with the edge of the air duct body, the lower air outlet mechanism is closed first and then the upper air outlet mechanism is opened, and the whole is switched to the upper air outlet mode of cooling operation. At this time, when the fan blades rotate to do work, air is sucked from the lower end of the air duct opening, that is, the lower air outlet of the shell, and air is delivered out from the upper end of the air duct opening, that is, the upper air outlet of the shell. When the heating mode is running, hot air is blown out of the air-conditioning vent. Due to the problem of hot air floating, the blown hot air will float upward, causing heat to be concentrated in the upper space of the room. When the heating mode is selected, the duct switching mechanism switches the air outlet mode. Contrary to the upper switching mode, the switching process first closes the upper air outlet mechanism, and the switching motor drives the drum-shaped air duct frame to move upward, and drives the remaining frames to move upward at the same time to realize the closing of the upper air outlet mechanism, and then opens the lower air outlet mechanism, and the switching motor drives the shrinking air duct frame to move inward, and drives the remaining shrinking frames to move symmetrically inward through the inverted structure to form a closed shrinking air duct. Due to the principle and characteristics of the operation of the mixed flow fan blade, the air outlet mode at this time is changed to the lower air outlet mode, and air is sucked from the upper end of the air duct opening, that is, from the upper air inlet of the shell, and air is sent out from the lower end of the air duct opening and the lower vent of the shell, thereby realizing the upper-in and lower-out air supply mode of the heating mode, and better utilizing the indoor air heat distribution.
[0142] The fan assembly of the present application is to make full use of the centrifugal fan blade work effect of the mixed flow fan blade. The original air duct has the effect of sucking air from the upper end of the air duct and discharging air from the lower end of the air duct due to the change in pressure. The optimization scheme removes half of the circumference of the air duct wall at the fan blade position. The fan blade rotates during the centrifugal work, which can send the air out from the front diameter, reduce the air volume lost due to internal pressure, and increase the efficiency of the fan.
[0143] In order to open the front circular surface of the air duct wall and enhance the front radial air outlet effect, the air duct body is changed to the fan blade position on the original switching mechanism to remove half of the front air outlet to form a vent, and slide rail structures are added to the upper and lower ends of the remaining semicircular structure, and upper and lower roller assemblies are added to the circle slide rail position, a duct sliding door is added to the structure, and a rack structure is added to the sliding door. The switching motor gear performs circular motion to realize the opening and closing of the lower air duct optimization mechanism and improve the air outlet efficiency during lower air outlet.
[0144] According to another embodiment of the present application, the lower end inlet position of the upper air outlet in the closed state can be removed by a quarter to optimize the side air intake effect, increase the air intake volume and strengthen the upper air outlet volume.
[0145] In the present application, half of the duct wall surface at the fan blade position can be removed and designed as a sliding door. When the downward air outlet is optimized, the sliding door is opened to increase the downward air volume. The lower end of the sliding door is shortened by a quarter of the fan blade height. The original optimization of the downward air outlet requires that this quarter of the duct be designed as a motion air door mechanism. When the sliding door is closed and the air inlet door mechanism is not opened, a quarter of the front end of the duct wall is removed. Fig.24 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the air inlet door mechanism is opened outward, a quarter of the air duct wall surface at the lower end is exposed to the air inlet portion, as shown in FIG. Fig.26 As shown in E, the wind inlet effect at the lower end of the fan blade is optimized, thereby optimizing the upper wind outlet. Fig. 27 As can be seen from the exploded view, a quarter of the lower end of the air duct body is removed, and the sliding door is shortened for matching, and a track bracket, i.e., a mounting portion, is added to the lower end of the air duct body. The removed portion of the lower end of the air duct is designed as a moving air door component (a first air door mechanism and a second air door mechanism), and roller groups are arranged on the air inlet door to cooperate with the track bracket at the lower end of the air duct body to achieve sliding movement, and then fixed as a whole with a slide rail cover plate, wherein there are multiple air inlet doors, and cantilever grooves are arranged at both ends of the middle air inlet door, which are fixed as a whole with the middle air inlet door through a fixing block 108, a rack is arranged on the upper side of the air inlet door, and a driving motor is arranged on the side position of the slide rail cover plate for driving, so as to realize the movement of the air inlet door to the outside or inside, so as to control the opening and closing of the lower air inlet when the upper air is discharged, and improve the effect of the upper air discharge;
