DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] First embodiment
[0034] See also Figure 1The present embodiment provides an air duct mechanism 100, which is mainly used in air conditioners for air outlet. During long-term use of the air conditioner, a large number of germs will adhere to the air duct mechanism 100. In order to reduce the spread of germs indoors, the air conditioner needs to be cleaned regularly, and the air duct assembly 120 needs to be removed from the air conditioner. The air duct mechanism 100 of the present embodiment can be easily disassembled.
[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the air duct mechanism 100 includes an air sweeping assembly 110, an air duct assembly 120, a first locking structure 130 and a plurality of second locking structures 140, the first locking structure 130 includes an unlocking member 134 and a plurality of locking members 132, the unlocking member 134 and the plurality of locking members 132 are mounted on the air sweeping assembly 110, the unlocking member 134 and the plurality of locking members 132 are selectively connected, the plurality of second locking structures 140 are mounted on the air duct assembly 120, the plurality of second locking structures 140 and the plurality of locking members 132 are selectively connected correspondingly;
[0036] The unlocking member 134 is used to simultaneously drive the multiple locking members 132 to move away from the second locking structure 140 corresponding to the locking member 132 under the action of external force, and disconnect from the second locking structure 140, so that the wind sweeping assembly 110 is disconnected from the air duct assembly 120.
[0037] In this embodiment, one locking member 132 corresponds to one second locking structure 140 , that is, one locking member 132 and one second locking structure 140 can be selectively connected, which can be understood as one locking member 132 and one locking structure forming a fixed position.
[0038] In this embodiment, when the air duct assembly 120 needs to be removed from the air conditioner, it is only necessary to apply an external force to the unlocking member 134, and the unlocking member 134 can simultaneously drive the multiple locking members 132 to move in a direction away from the second locking structure 140, so that the multiple locking members 132 are simultaneously disconnected from the corresponding second locking structures 140, so that the wind sweeping assembly 110 is disconnected from the air duct assembly 120, and the wind sweeping assembly 110 can be removed from the air duct assembly 120. This method only requires applying an external force to the unlocking member 134 to simultaneously remove the multiple locking members 132 and the multiple second locking structures 140, thereby achieving single-point unlocking and multi-point fixing of the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120, and the operation is convenient during the process of removing and installing the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120, so as to achieve the effect of easy removal of the wind sweeping assembly 110.
[0039] In this embodiment, the air duct mechanism 100 further includes a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure. The first locking structure 130 is arranged at one end of the air sweeping assembly 110, and the first positioning structure is arranged at the other end of the air sweeping assembly 110. The second locking structure 140 is arranged at one end of the air duct assembly 120, and the second positioning structure is arranged at the other end of the air sweeping assembly 110. During the installation and disassembly process, the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure position the air sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120 from one end. The first locking structure 130 and the second locking structure 140 lock or unlock the air sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120 from the other end, which is convenient for the operator to operate and makes it easier to disassemble the air sweeping assembly 110 from the air duct assembly 120.
[0040] The first positioning structure may be a positioning pin, and the second positioning structure may be a positioning hole provided on the air duct assembly 120. Before installation, the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole to achieve positioning of the air sweep assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120. The first positioning structure may also be a clamping portion, and the second positioning structure may also be a clamping groove. Before installation, the clamping portion is installed in the clamping groove to achieve positioning of the air sweep assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120.
[0041] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, a locking hole 142 is provided on the second locking structure 140; the locking member 132 is also used to move toward the locking hole 142 under the action of an external force, and cooperate with the locking hole 142 to fix the air sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120;
[0042] Under the action of external force, the unlocking member 134 drives the locking member 132 to move in a direction away from the locking hole 142 , so that the locking member 132 and the locking hole 142 are released from engagement, thereby releasing the connection between the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120 .
[0043] In this embodiment, when the wind sweeping assembly 110 is installed on the air duct assembly 120, the second positioning structure is first installed on the first positioning structure to push the entire wind sweeping assembly 110 to move toward the direction close to the air duct assembly 120, and the locking member 132 slides relative to the second locking structure 140. After sliding into place, the locking member 132 is snapped into the locking hole 142 to achieve a fixed connection between the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120.
[0044] When the wind sweeping assembly 110 needs to be removed from the air duct assembly 120, the unlocking member 134 drives the locking member 132 to move away from the locking hole 142 under the action of external force, so that the locking member 132 is released from the locking hole 142, thereby removing the wind sweeping assembly 110 from the air duct assembly 120.
[0045] See also Figure 3In this embodiment, the locking member 132 includes a fixing portion 1321, a connecting portion 1323 and a locking portion 1325. The connecting portion 1323 and the locking portion 1325 are respectively arranged at two ends of the fixing portion 1321. The fixing portion 1321 is hinged to the wind sweeping assembly 110. The connecting portion 1323 is selectively connected to the unlocking member 134. The locking portion 1325 selectively cooperates with the locking hole 142.
[0046] The connecting portion 1323 and the unlocking member 134 are selectively connected. It can be understood that the connecting portion 1323 and the unlocking member 134 can be connected or not connected. When the wind sweeping assembly 110 is disassembled, the connecting portion 1323 and the unlocking member 134 are connected. In other states, the connecting portion 1323 may not be connected to the unlocking member 134.
[0047] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 1323 and the locking portion 1325 are respectively arranged at both ends of the fixing portion 1321, and the fixing portion 1321 is hinged with the wind sweeping assembly 110. When the unlocking member 134 drives the connecting portion 1323 to move, the fixing portion 1321 is a lever. When the connecting portion 1323 moves in a direction away from the wind sweeping assembly 110, the corresponding locking portion 1325 moves in a direction close to the wind sweeping assembly 110. When the connecting portion 1323 moves in a direction close to the wind sweeping assembly 110, the corresponding locking portion 1325 moves in a direction away from the wind sweeping assembly 110.
[0048] When the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120 are disassembled, the second locking structure 140 is arranged above the first locking structure 130. When the wind sweeping assembly 110 is disassembled, the unlocking member 134 drives the connecting portion 1323 to move in a direction away from the wind sweeping assembly 110, that is, to move in a direction close to the air duct assembly 120. At this time, the locking portion 1325 moves in a direction close to the wind sweeping assembly 110, that is, to move in a direction away from the air duct assembly 120, and the locking portion 1325 is gradually released from the locking hole 142. When the locking portion 1325 is released from the locking hole 142, the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120 are unlocked, and the wind sweeping assembly 110 can be removed from the air duct assembly 120.
[0049] In this embodiment, when disassembling the wind sweeping assembly 110, the principle of the lever is used to drive the locking portion 1325 to move in a direction away from the locking hole 142, which can facilitate operation. While applying force toward the air duct assembly 120, the locking portion 1325 can be driven to move in a direction away from the locking hole 142, so that the locking portion is released from the locking hole 142. This method is simple to operate and can facilitate the disassembly of the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120.
[0050] In this embodiment, a guide surface 1327 is provided on the locking portion 1325, and the guide surface 1327 abuts against the second locking structure 140 when the first locking structure 130 moves toward the second locking structure 140, and when the abutment with the second locking structure 140 is released, the locking portion 1325 is inserted into the locking hole 142.
[0051] In this embodiment, the guide surface 1327 is arranged on a side of the locking portion 1325 away from the fixing portion 1321. When installing the air sweeping assembly 110, the first positioning structure is first placed on the second positioning structure, and the operator pushes the air sweeping assembly 110 to move toward the direction close to the air duct assembly 120, and the guide surface 1327 is relatively abutted against the second locking structure 140 and slides relative to the second locking structure 140. When the guide surface 1327 and the second locking structure 140 are released from abutment, the locking portion 1325 is inserted into the locking hole 142, thereby achieving the installation and fixing of the air sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120.
[0052] See also Figure 4 In the present embodiment, the locking member 132 further includes an elastic member 136, one end of the elastic member 136 is connected to one end of the fixing portion 1321 close to the locking portion 1325, and the other end is connected to the wind sweeping assembly 110, the elastic member 136 is used to compress when the locking portion 1325 is abutted against the second locking structure 140, and to insert the locking portion 1325 into the locking hole 142 when the locking portion 1325 is released from the abutment with the second locking structure 140.
[0053] In this embodiment, the elastic member 136 is compressed when the locking portion 1325 and the second locking structure 140 abut against and slide against each other. When the locking portion 1325 is at the locking hole 142 relative to the second locking structure 140, it indicates that the locking portion 1325 has slid into place relative to the second locking structure 140. Under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 136, the locking portion 1325 is pushed into the locking hole 142.
[0054] Likewise, when the wind sweeping assembly 110 is disassembled, when the unlocking member 134 drives the locking portion 1325 to move in a direction away from the locking hole 142 , the elastic member 136 is compressed, so that the locking portion 1325 is gradually released from the locking hole 142 .
[0055] In this embodiment, the guide surface 1327 is inclined. The inclined guide surface 1327 can play a guiding role in the process of sliding relative to the second locking structure 140. When the locking portion 1325 slides relative to the second locking structure 140, since the guide surface 1327 is inclined, the elastic member 136 is gradually compressed and the restoring force is gradually accumulated during the sliding process. When the guide surface 1327 contacts and abuts against the second locking structure 140, the locking portion 1325 is pushed into the locking hole 142 under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 136, so as to achieve the locking between the wind sweeping component 110 and the air duct component 120.
[0056] In this embodiment, when installing the wind sweeping assembly 110, the first positioning portion is installed on the second positioning portion, pushing the wind sweeping assembly 110 to move in the direction close to the air duct assembly 120, and the guide surface 1327 and the second locking structure 140 are relatively abutted and slide. During the sliding process of the two, the elastic member 136 is compressed. When the guide surface 1327 and the second locking structure 140 are released from abutment, the locking portion 1325 is snapped into the locking hole 142 under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 136, thereby realizing the installation of the wind sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120.
[0057] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing grooves 1345 are provided on the unlocking member 134, and a plurality of locking members 132 are selectively installed in the plurality of fixing grooves 1345. When an external force is applied to the unlocking member 134, the locking members 132 are accommodated in the fixing grooves 1345, and the unlocking member 134 simultaneously drives the plurality of locking members 132 to move in a direction away from the second locking structure 140 corresponding to the locking members 132, and is disconnected from the second locking structure 140, so that the wind sweeping assembly 110 is disconnected from the air duct assembly 120.
[0058] In this embodiment, one locking member 132 corresponds to one fixing groove 1345. When the wind sweeping assembly 110 is to be disassembled, an external force is applied to the unlocking member 134, and the unlocking member 134 moves toward the direction close to the locking member 132, so that the locking member 132 is accommodated in the corresponding fixing groove 1345 and abuts against the bottom wall of the fixing groove 1345. Under the action of the abutting force of the unlocking member 134, multiple locking members 132 simultaneously move in the direction away from the second locking structure 140 corresponding to the locking member 132, thereby achieving simultaneous unlocking of multiple fixed positions. The operation is simple, and the wind sweeping assembly 110 can be quickly removed from the air duct assembly 120.
[0059] In this embodiment, the unlocking member 134 includes a first driving portion 1341 and a second driving portion 1343, the first driving portion 1341 is connected to the second driving portion 1343, the wind sweeping assembly 110 is provided with a mounting hole 112, the first driving portion 1341 is installed in the mounting hole 112, and the second driving portion 1343 is connected to the locking member 132;
[0060] When the locking member 132 is in cooperation with the second locking structure 140, the second driving portion 1343 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole 112. Under the action of external force, the second driving portion 1343 simultaneously drives the plurality of locking members 132 through the first driving portion 1341 to move in a direction away from the second locking structure 140 corresponding to the locking member 132, and disconnects from the second locking structure 140, thereby disconnecting the wind sweeping assembly 110 from the air duct assembly 120.
[0061] In this embodiment, the first driving portion 1341 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 1323, and the mounting hole 112 is a through hole. When the wind sweeping assembly 110 needs to be disassembled, the second driving portion 1343 is pushed from the end of the mounting hole 112 away from the first driving portion 1341. The second driving portion 1343 drives the connecting portions 1323 of the multiple locking members 132 to move toward the direction approaching the corresponding second locking structure 140 at the same time through the first driving portion 1341. The locking portion 1325 then moves toward the direction away from the corresponding second locking structure 140, thereby being released from the locking hole 142, thereby realizing the disassembly of the wind sweeping assembly 110.
[0062] In this embodiment, when the locking portion 1325 is inserted into the locking hole 142, it indicates that the current air sweeping assembly 110 is installed on the air duct assembly 120, and the second driving portion 1343 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole 112. When the air sweeping assembly 110 needs to be disassembled, the second driving portion 1343 is rotated to release the fixed connection between the second driving portion 1343 and the mounting hole 112, and then an external force is applied to the second driving portion 1343, and the connecting portions 1323 of the plurality of locking members 132 are driven by the first driving portion 1341 to move simultaneously in a direction close to the corresponding second locking structure 140, so that the locking portions 1325 of the plurality of locking members 132 simultaneously move in a direction away from the corresponding locking hole 142, thereby releasing the engagement with the locking hole 142, so that the locking portion 1325 is removed from the locking hole 142, and the unlocking of the plurality of fixed positions can be realized by simply applying an external force to the second driving portion 1343.
[0063] In this embodiment, when there is no need to disassemble the wind sweeping assembly 110, the second driving portion 1343 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole 112, which can prevent misoperation from causing the locking portion 1325 to be disengaged from the locking hole 142, thereby removing the wind sweeping assembly 110 from the air duct assembly 120.
[0064] That is, in this embodiment, when the wind sweeping assembly 110 needs to be disassembled, the second driving part 1343 is rotated to release the fixed connection between the second driving part 1343 and the mounting hole 112, and the second driving part 1343 can be pushed to slide relative to the mounting hole 112. When there is no need to disassemble, the second driving part 1343 is rotated to fix the second driving part 1343 with the mounting hole 112. In this case, even if the second driving part 1343 is pushed, since the second driving part 1343 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole 112, the second driving part 1343 will not slide relative to the mounting hole 112, thereby preventing the wind sweeping assembly 110 from being misoperated.
[0065] In this embodiment, the fixing groove 1345 is disposed at an end of the first driving portion 1341 away from the second driving portion 1343 , and the connecting portion 1323 is installed in the fixing groove 1345 .
[0066] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, a guide portion 1347 is provided on the second driving portion 1343, and the wind sweeping assembly 110 is also provided with a guide groove 114, which is connected to the mounting hole 112, and the extension direction of the guide groove 114 is the same as the extension direction of the mounting hole 112. When the first driving portion 1341 drives the locking member 132 to move away from the second locking structure 140, the guide portion 1347 is installed in the guide groove 114.
[0067] In this embodiment, when the wind sweeping assembly 110 is disassembled, the second driving portion 1343 is rotated so that the guide portion 1347 is set in the guide groove 114, and the second driving portion 1343 is pushed. The guide portion 1347 slides in the guide groove 114, and the connecting portion 1323 is driven by the first driving portion 1341 to move toward the direction approaching the second locking structure 140, so that the locking portion 1325 moves in the direction away from the locking hole 142, thereby releasing the engagement with the locking hole 142, so that the locking portion 1325 can be removed from the locking hole 142.
[0068] In this embodiment, the wind sweeping assembly 110 is also provided with a limiting groove 116, which is connected to the mounting hole 112 and is arranged along the circumference of the mounting hole 112. When the locking member 132 is connected to the second locking structure, the guide portion 1347 is arranged in the limiting groove 116.
[0069] The limiting groove 116 is connected to the guide groove 114, and the two are arranged at an angle. When the air sweeping assembly 110 needs to be disassembled, the second driving part 1343 is rotated, and the guide part 1347 slides in the limiting groove 116, so that the guide part 1347 is rotated into the guide groove 114. Then the second driving part 1343 is pressed upward, so that the second driving part 1343 drives the connecting part 1323 to move toward the direction close to the second locking structure 140 through the first driving part 1341, so that the locking part 1325 moves in the direction away from the locking hole 142, thereby releasing the engagement with the locking hole 142, so that the locking part 1325 can be removed from the locking hole 142.
[0070] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 116 is tilted, and one end connected to the guide groove 114 is higher than the other end. When the locking portion 1325 is released from the locking hole 142, under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 136, the locking portion 1325 moves away from the wind sweeping assembly 110, so that the connecting portion 1323 moves toward the wind sweeping assembly 110, so that the first driving portion 1341 pushes the second driving portion 1343 to move downward, and the guiding portion 1347 moves to the lower end of the guide groove 114, that is, to the connection with the limiting groove 116. Since the limiting groove 116 is tilted, the guiding portion 1347 can gradually slide into the limiting groove 116 and be fixedly connected to the mounting hole 112 to achieve reset.
[0071] In this embodiment, the guide groove 114 and the limit groove 116 are both connected to the mounting hole 112. It can also be understood that the guide groove 114 and the limit groove 116 are both arranged on the side wall of the mounting hole 112, the second driving part 1343 is installed inside the mounting hole 112, and the guide part 1347 directly extends into the limit groove 116 or the guide groove 114.
[0072] In this embodiment, there are a plurality of guide portions 1347 , and similarly, there are a plurality of guide slots 114 and a plurality of limit slots 116 , and the number of the guide portions 1347 , the guide slots 114 , and the limit slots 116 are equal.
[0073] In this embodiment, the first driving part 1341 and the second driving part 1343 are movably connected, which can be understood as the first driving part 1341 is directly placed on the second driving part 1343, and the first driving part 1341 is fixed to the second driving part 1343 by its own gravity. When the second driving part 1343 is rotated, the first driving part 1341 is not fixed.
[0074] See also Fig. 9In this embodiment, a knob groove 1348 is provided at one end of the second driving portion 1343 away from the first driving portion 1341, and the unlocking member 134 also includes a force-applying portion 138, which cooperates with the knob groove 1348 to drive the second driving portion 1343 to rotate relative to the mounting hole 112, so that the guide portion 1347 is set in the limiting groove 116 or disengaged from the limiting groove 116.
[0075] Since the second driving part 1343 is installed inside the mounting hole 112, a large torque is required to directly rotate the second driving part 1343. When the second driving part 1343 needs to be rotated, the force-applying part 138 is inserted into the knob groove 1348. The force-applying part 138 drives the second driving part 1343 to rotate, which can increase the rotational torque and reduce the force applied by the operator during the rotation process, thereby facilitating the operation.
[0076] The working principle of the air duct mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment is as follows: in this embodiment, during the process of installing the air sweeping assembly 110, the first positioning portion is installed on the second positioning portion, pushing the air sweeping assembly 110 to move in the direction close to the air duct assembly 120, and the guide surface 1327 and the second locking structure 140 are relatively abutted and slided. During the sliding process of the two, the elastic member 136 is compressed. When the guide surface 1327 and the second locking structure 140 are released from abutment, the locking portion 1325 is snapped into the locking hole 142 under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 136, thereby realizing the installation of the air sweeping assembly 110 and the air duct assembly 120.
[0077] When disassembling the air sweeping assembly 110, the force applying part 138 is inserted into the knob groove 1348, and the force applying part 138 is rotated, so that the force applying part 138 drives the second driving part 1343 to rotate relative to the mounting hole 112, and the guide part 1347 rotates from the limiting groove 116 to the guide groove 114. The second driving part 1343 is pressed upward, and the connecting parts 1323 of the plurality of locking members 132 are driven by the first driving part 1341 to move in a direction close to the corresponding second locking structure 140, so that the locking parts 1325 of the plurality of locking members 132 move in a direction away from the corresponding second locking structure 140. In this process, the elastic member 136 is gradually compressed, and the plurality of locking parts 1325 gradually and simultaneously disengage from the plurality of locking holes 142. After the locking portion 1325 is disengaged from the locking hole 142, the external force is removed. Under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 136, the locking portion 1325 moves in the direction away from the wind sweeping assembly 110, causing the connecting portion 1323 to move in the direction close to the wind sweeping assembly 110, thereby causing the first driving portion 1341 to push the second driving portion 1343 to move downward, and the guide portion 1347 moves to the lower end of the guide groove 114, that is, to the connection with the limiting groove 116. Since the limiting groove 116 is inclined, the guide portion 1347 can gradually slide into the inside of the limiting groove 116 and be fixedly connected to the mounting hole 112 to achieve resetting.
[0078] To summarize, the air duct mechanism 100 provided in the present embodiment only needs to push the air sweeping assembly 110 when installing the air sweeping assembly 110, and only needs to place the force-applying portion 138 in the knob groove 1348 when disassembling the air sweeping assembly 110, rotate the second driving portion 1343, and then press the second driving portion 1343 upward to achieve the disassembly of the air sweeping assembly 110. The air duct mechanism 100 provided in the present embodiment is simple to operate during the installation and disassembly process, and can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the operator.
