Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical appliances, and more particularly to an exhaust vent structure and an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, a grille structure is usually installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner to prevent users from touching the internal fan blades and improve the safety of the air conditioner.

[0003] However, the grid structure in related technologies is usually made of wire mesh or injection-molded grid, with large grid holes and a non-fully enclosed structure, which is less effective in preventing insects and dust. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problem that the grille structure in related technologies is not fully enclosed and has poor insect and dust prevention effects, an exhaust vent structure and an air conditioner with it are proposed.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, an exhaust vent structure is provided, comprising: a base having an exhaust vent; a windbreak portion disposed openably and closably at the exhaust vent, the windbreak portion having a closed state of closing the exhaust vent and an open state of opening the exhaust vent; and a connector portion detachably disposed at the exhaust vent, the connector portion having a disassembled state and an assembled state; when the connector portion is in the disassembled state, the windbreak portion is in the closed state; when the connector portion is in the assembled state, the windbreak portion switches from the closed state to the open state under the drive of the connector portion.

[0006] Furthermore, the exhaust port structure also includes a locking part, which is disposed on the base and locks with the wind deflector. The locking part has a locked state that locks the wind deflector in a closed state and an unlocked state that allows the wind deflector to move to an open state.

[0007] Furthermore, the exhaust port structure also includes an elastic part, which is disposed between the locking part and the base. When the locking part is in the unlocked state, the elastic part is in the pressed state, which is used to provide the locking part with the force to move from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0008] Furthermore, when the connector is in the disassembled state, the locking part is in the locked state; when the connector is in the assembled state, the locking part switches from the locked state to the unlocked state under the drive of the connector.

[0009] Furthermore, the windbreak is rotatably mounted on the base and has a guide groove, which includes a pushing section; the connector is movably mounted on the base and has a transmission member, at least a portion of which extends into the guide groove; when the windbreak is in a closed state, the extending direction of the pushing section is angled relative to the moving direction of the transmission member; under the action of an external force, the connector moves relative to the base, and the transmission member moves relative to the base and pushes against the groove wall of the pushing section, causing the windbreak to rotate relative to the base, from a closed state to an open state.

[0010] Furthermore, the exhaust port structure includes a locking part, which includes a locking member rotatably mounted on the base. The locking member has a locked position and an unlocked position. The guide groove includes a locking section. When the locking member is in the locked position, at least a portion of the locking member extends into the locking section to prevent the windshield from rotating relative to the base, thus keeping the windshield in a closed state. When the locking member is in the unlocked position, the locking member exits the locking section, and the windshield can rotate relative to the base.

[0011] Furthermore, the exhaust port structure also includes an elastic part, which is a spring, and the spring is disposed between the bottom of the locking member and the base.

[0012] Furthermore, the base has a plug-in groove, and the edge of the connector part is plugged into the plug-in groove; the windproof part includes a windproof plate and a protrusion provided on the windproof plate, and a guide groove is opened on the protrusion; one end of the connector part is provided with an opening groove, and the opening is adapted to the protrusion; when the connector part is assembled on the base, the opening groove avoids the protrusion, and the groove wall of the opening groove pushes against the locking member, so that the locking member rotates from the locked position to the unlocked position; along the moving direction of the connector part, the opening groove is located upstream of the transmission member. After the locking member rotates to the unlocked position, the transmission member first extends into the locking section and then into the pushing section.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector includes an annular structure. When the connector is in the assembled state, the annular structure forms an air outlet, and the air outlet is positioned opposite to the exhaust port.

[0014] Furthermore, the windbreak includes a windproof plate rotatably mounted on the base, with a left rotating shaft and a right rotating shaft respectively provided on both sides of the windproof plate; the base includes an air duct assembly and a rear plate, with a left shaft hole and a right shaft hole opened on the side wall of the air duct assembly, the left shaft hole including a guide hole section and a shaft hole section, the guide hole section extending to the end face of the side wall of the air duct assembly; a stop structure is provided on the right rotating shaft, when the windbreak is assembled onto the air duct assembly, the stop structure abuts against the side wall of the air duct assembly, and the left rotating shaft is engaged with the shaft hole section through the guide hole section; at least a portion of the rear plate The structure is installed at the guide hole section to stop the left side of the rotating shaft from disengaging; when the baffle plate is perpendicular to the plane where the exhaust port is located, the baffle plate is in a fully open state; when the baffle plate is parallel to the plane where the exhaust port is located, the baffle plate is in a fully closed state; when the joint is in the assembled state, the baffle plate is in a fully open state, the rotation axis of the baffle plate is perpendicular to the axis of the annular structure, the baffle plate extends along the axial direction of the annular structure, and the end face of the baffle plate away from the exhaust port is located inside the annular structure or is flush with the end face of the annular structure away from the exhaust port.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, including the exhaust vent structure described above.

[0016] According to the technical solution of this invention, the exhaust vent structure includes a base, a windbreak, and a connector. The windbreak is closable at the exhaust vent, having both a closed state (closing the exhaust vent) and an open state (opening the exhaust vent). The connector is detachably disposed at the exhaust vent, having both a disassembled state and an assembled state. When the connector is in the disassembled state, the windbreak is in the closed state. When the connector is in the assembled state, the windbreak switches from the closed state to the open state under the drive of the connector. Thus, when the connector is in the disassembled state, the windbreak is in the closed state, and the exhaust vent is fully enclosed, providing insect and dust prevention and preventing children from inserting their fingers into the air conditioner, thus avoiding safety hazards. After the connector is assembled onto the base, the windbreak is in the open state, without affecting the exhaust.

[0017] The exhaust vent provided in this application has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. It has both insect and dust prevention effects and does not affect the exhaust effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] To address the technical problem that the grille structure in related technologies is not a fully enclosed structure and has poor insect and dust prevention effects, this invention provides an exhaust vent structure and an air conditioner with the same.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in related technologies, a portable air conditioner includes a housing 1 and casters 2 located at the bottom of the housing 1. A grille 3 is provided at the exhaust vent to ensure airflow while preventing users from inserting their fingers into the housing 1 and touching the fan blades, thus avoiding potential safety hazards. However, the grille 3 has poor insect and dust prevention effects.

[0045] like Figures 2 to 21 As shown, this application provides an exhaust vent structure, comprising: a base 10 having an exhaust vent 11; a windbreak 20, which is closably disposed at the exhaust vent 11 and has a closed state (closing the exhaust vent 11) and an open state (opening the exhaust vent 11); and a connector 30, which is detachably disposed at the exhaust vent 11 and has a detached state and an assembled state. When the connector 30 is in the detached state, the windbreak 20 is in the closed state; when the connector 30 is in the assembled state, the windbreak 20 switches from the closed state to the open state under the drive of the connector 30. Thus, when the connector 30 is in the detached state, the windbreak 20 is in the closed state, and the exhaust vent 11 is fully enclosed, providing insect and dust prevention and preventing children from inserting their fingers into the air conditioner, thus avoiding safety hazards; and when the connector 30 is in the assembled state, the windbreak 20 is in the open state, without affecting exhaust.

[0046] Optionally, the exhaust vent structure further includes a locking part 40, which is disposed on the base 10 and engages with the wind deflector 20. The locking part 40 has a locked state that locks the wind deflector 20 in a closed state and an unlocked state that allows the wind deflector 20 to move to an open state. Thus, when the air conditioner is not in use, the locking part 40 keeps the wind deflector 20 in a self-locking state, preventing accidental manual movement of the wind deflector 20 to keep it closed, thus enhancing safety.

[0047] Optionally, the exhaust vent structure further includes an elastic part 50, which is disposed between the locking part 40 and the base 10. When the locking part 40 is in the unlocked state, the elastic part 50 is in the pressed state, providing a force for the locking part 40 to move from the unlocked state to the locked state. Thus, when the air conditioner is used, the connector 30 is removed, and the locking part 40 moves from the unlocked state to the locked state under the action of the elastic part 50.

[0048] Optionally, when the connector 30 is in the detached state, the locking part 40 is in the locked state; when the connector 30 is in the assembled state, the locking part 40 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state under the drive of the connector 30. In this way, the locking part 40 can be unlocked at the same time as the connector 30 is assembled, allowing the windshield 20 to be opened, making the operation simpler and more convenient, and improving the user experience.

[0049] Optionally, in embodiments not illustrated in this application, the locking part 40 can be unlocked or locked individually.

[0050] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 As shown, optionally, the windbreak portion 20 is rotatably disposed on the base 10. The windbreak portion 20 has a guide groove 21, which includes a pushing section 211. The connector portion 30 is movably disposed on the base 10 and has a transmission member 31, at least a portion of which extends into the guide groove 21. When the windbreak portion 20 is in a closed state, the extending direction of the pushing section 211 is angled relative to the moving direction of the transmission member 31. Under the action of an external force, the connector portion 30 moves relative to the base 10, and the transmission member 31 moves relative to the base 10 and pushes against the groove wall of the pushing section 211, causing the windbreak portion 20 to rotate relative to the base 10, from a closed state to an open state. In this way, the transmission member 31 and the pushing section 211 cooperate to drive the windbreak portion 20 to rotate.

[0051] In embodiments not shown in this application, the connector 30 and the windbreak 20 may also adopt other structures, as long as the connector 30 can drive the windbreak 20 to rotate.

[0052] The connector 30 and the windproof part 20 in the illustrated embodiment of this application have ingenious structures that do not affect ventilation and have good mosquito and dust prevention effects.

[0053] Optionally, the exhaust port structure includes a locking part 40, which includes a locking member 41 rotatably mounted on the base 10. The locking member 41 has a locked position and an unlocked position. The guide groove 21 includes a locking section 212. When the locking member 41 is in the locked position, at least a portion of the locking member 41 extends into the locking section 212 to prevent the windshield 20 from rotating relative to the base 10, thus keeping the windshield 20 in a closed state. When the locking member 41 is in the unlocked position, the locking member 41 disengages from the locking section 212, allowing the windshield 20 to rotate relative to the base 10. In this way, the locking member 41 and the locking section 212 cooperate to lock the windshield 20.

[0054] like Figure 20 As shown, optionally, the locking member 41 is a plate-shaped structure, and the width of the locking member 41 is smaller than the width of the locking section 212, so that the locking member 41 can extend into the locking section 212.

[0055] In embodiments not shown in this application, the locking part 40 and the windproof part 20 can also adopt other structures, as long as the windproof part 20 can be locked. The locking part 40, connector part 30 and windproof part 20 provided in this application have ingenious structures and are easy to operate. They do not affect ventilation and have good mosquito and dust prevention effects.

[0056] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, optionally, the exhaust port structure also includes an elastic part 50, which is a spring, disposed between the bottom of the locking member 41 and the base 10. The spring structure is simple and low in cost.

[0057] Optionally, in an embodiment not shown in this application, the spring is mounted on the base 10 via a slot. This makes the spring more stable after installation.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the base 10 has a insertion groove, and the edge of the connector 30 is inserted into the insertion groove; as Figure 6 and Figure 19 As shown, the windbreak part 20 includes a windbreak plate 210 and a protrusion 220 disposed on the windbreak plate 210, and a guide groove 21 is formed on the protrusion 220; as Figure 6 and Figure 21 As shown, one end of the connector 30 is provided with an opening groove 32, the opening of which is adapted to the protrusion 220. When the connector 30 is assembled onto the base 10, the opening groove 32 avoids the protrusion 220, and the groove wall of the opening groove 32 pushes against the locking member 41, causing the locking member 41 to rotate from the locked position to the unlocked position. Along the moving direction of the connector 30, the opening groove 32 is located upstream of the transmission member 31. After the locking member 41 rotates to the unlocked position, the transmission member 31 first extends into the locking section 212, and then extends into the pushing section 211. In this way, by setting the protrusion 220 and the guide groove 21 on the protrusion 220, materials can be saved and costs can be reduced.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment not shown in this application, protrusions 220 are provided at both ends of the wind deflector 210, the wind deflector 20 has a symmetrical structure, and guide grooves 21 are provided on both sides respectively. Correspondingly, the connector 30 includes two symmetrically arranged transmission members 31. In this way, when the connector 30 drives the wind deflector 20 to rotate, it is more stable.

[0060] like Figure 21As shown, optionally, the connector 30 includes an annular structure 33. When the connector 30 is in the assembled state, the annular structure 33 forms an air outlet, which is positioned opposite to the exhaust port 11. In this way, the connector 30 provided in this application will not affect the air outlet after assembly.

[0061] Optionally, in embodiments not illustrated in this application, the connector 30 may be a circular connector or a square connector.

[0062] Optionally, the annular structure 33 has an axial dimension larger than the length of a child's or adult's finger to prevent the user from touching the fan blades housed within the base 10. This avoids finger injuries and ensures higher safety.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 19 As shown, the windbreak part 20 includes a windbreak plate 210 rotatably mounted on the base 10, with a left rotating shaft 2101 and a right rotating shaft 2102 respectively provided on both sides of the windbreak plate 210; the base 10 includes an air duct assembly 110 and a rear plate 120, with a left shaft hole 111 and a right shaft hole 112 opened on the side wall of the air duct assembly 110, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the left-side shaft hole 111 includes a guide hole section 1111 and a shaft hole section 1112, with the guide hole section 1111 extending to the side wall end face of the air duct assembly 110; as Figure 19 As shown, a stop structure 2103 is provided on the right rotating shaft 2102. When the windshield 20 is assembled onto the air duct assembly 110, the stop structure 2103 abuts against the side wall of the air duct assembly 110, and the left rotating shaft 2101 is inserted into the shaft hole section 1112 through the guide hole section 1111; as Figure 4 As shown, at least a portion of the structure of the rear plate 120 covers the guide hole section 1111 to prevent the left rotating shaft 2101 from disengaging. When the baffle plate 210 is perpendicular to the plane where the exhaust port 11 is located, the baffle plate 210 is in a fully open state. When the baffle plate 210 is parallel to the plane where the exhaust port 11 is located, the baffle plate 210 is in a fully closed state. When the joint 30 is in the assembled state, the baffle plate 210 is in a fully open state, the rotation axis of the baffle plate 210 is perpendicular to the axis of the annular structure 33, the baffle plate 210 extends axially along the annular structure 33, and the end face of the baffle plate 210 away from the exhaust port 11 is located inside the annular structure 33 or flush with the end face of the annular structure 33 away from the exhaust port 11. Thus, when the baffle plate 210 is in the fully open state, the area of ​​the exhaust port 11 is larger, and the baffle plate 210 does not affect the exhaust of the exhaust port 11.

[0064] Optionally, the cross-section of the transmission component is circular or square.

[0065] Optionally, the transmission component is a boss structure, including a first section and a second section connected to each other, the second section being larger than the first section, and the first section being adapted to the guide groove.

[0066] This application also provides an air conditioner, including the exhaust outlet structure described above and below.

[0067] Optionally, the exhaust vent structure provided in this application can be applied to a portable air conditioner. The portable air conditioner includes a housing and a set of casters at the bottom of the housing. The housing 1 includes a rear plate 120 and an air duct assembly 110 is set inside the housing 1.

[0068] This application addresses the shortcomings of existing non-fully enclosed exhaust vent structures in preventing insects and dust. The novel fully enclosed exhaust vent structure proposed in this application effectively mitigates the problem of insects entering the machine and avoids the risk of children inserting their fingers into the machine.

[0069] like Figures 2 to 21 The air conditioning exhaust vent structure provided in this application consists of a windbreak part 20, an air duct assembly 110, a rear plate 120, a connector part 30, a locking part 40, and an elastic part 50. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0070] like Figure 19 As shown, the windbreak part 20 has a guide groove 21. The locking section 212 and the pushing section 211 of the guide groove 21 form an obtuse angle. Preferably, the included angle is greater than or equal to 120° and less than or equal to 150°. The windbreak plate 210 has a size of 140*4*90 (length*width*height / mm), with rotating shafts (diameter of 3mm) on both sides and a guide groove 21 on the left side.

[0071] The width of the guide groove 21 can be set to 4mm, which allows the locking member 41 and the transmission member 31 to move along it to realize the opening and closing of the windbreak part 20.

[0072] Optionally, the rear plate 120 is provided with a spring, screw, and locking element 41. For example... Figure 20 As shown, the locking member 41 is 18mm long and its width is less than the width of the guide groove 21. Preferably, the width of the locking member 41 is 3mm, and there is a 0.5mm gap between the locking member 41 and the guide groove 21 on both sides. The locking member 41 is assembled onto the rear plate 120 by screws. The locking member 41 has screw holes, and the locking member 41 can rotate relative to the rear plate 120 with the screw holes as the axis. Without the limiting of the locking part 40, the wind deflector 210 can rotate freely around its axis. The rear plate 120 is provided with a spring. Under the action of the spring, the locking member 41 can be kept in a horizontal state and inserted into the guide groove 21 to achieve "self-locking" of the wind deflector 20, which can prevent the wind deflector 210 from rotating freely around its axis and also avoid manual manipulation of the wind deflector 210. When the portable air conditioner is not in use, the wind deflector is vertically located at the air duct exhaust port through the above-mentioned "self-locking structure", forming a fully enclosed state. This can achieve a good insect and dust prevention effect.

[0073] like Figure 21As shown, the connector 30 is provided with a transmission component 31 and an opening slot 32. The transmission component 31 is a transmission shaft, and the diameter d of the transmission component 31 must be smaller than the width of the guide slot 21. Preferably, the diameter of the transmission component 31 is set to 3mm, and its installation and removal correspond to the opening and closing of the windshield 20.

[0074] The air duct assembly 110 has shaft holes on both sides, with a guide on the outside of the left shaft hole to facilitate the installation of the rotating shaft of the baffle plate 210. After the rear plate 120 is installed, the rear plate 120 can act as a limit to prevent the rotating shaft from coming out.

[0075] When the portable air conditioner is needed, the connector 30 is installed from top to bottom from the rear panel 120. The structure of the connector 30 is as follows: Figure 21 As shown, it has an opening slot 32 that allows the wind baffle 210 to pass through it, and the wind baffle 210 can be rotated by the movement of the transmission component 31 in the guide slot 21.

[0076] Optionally, the exhaust vent structure provided in this application has the following two states:

[0077] Fully enclosed state: When the portable air conditioner is not in use, the wind deflector 210 can be horizontally positioned within the guide groove 21 by the locking piece 41 on the rear panel under the action of a spring, so that the wind deflector 210 is in a vertical state. That is, the exhaust vent is in a fully enclosed state, which can achieve the effect of preventing dust and insects.

[0078] Fully open state: When the portable air conditioner is in use, the transmission component 31 on the connector 30 can drive the baffle 210 to a horizontal position, thus fully opening the exhaust vent. This does not affect the overall airflow of the unit while reducing wind resistance and noise.

[0079] As the connector 30 moves, the baffle 210 will gradually open and close during operation. Its operation consists of the following steps:

[0080] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, during initial installation: when the lower end of the connector 30 begins to contact the locking member 41, the locking member 41 compresses the spring under the pressure of the connector 30, causing the locking member 41 to rotate clockwise. As the connector 30 moves downward, the locking member 41 continuously compresses the spring and slowly rotates clockwise, eventually ending up in a vertical position close to the left side of the connector 30, as shown. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown. At this time, the joint transmission component 31 has not yet entered the guide groove 21 of the baffle plate 210, and the guide groove 21 of the baffle plate 210 is still close to the opening groove 32, in a vertical position, and will not rotate with its axis.

[0081] like Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, during operation, as the connector 30 gradually moves downward, the transmission component 31 of the connector 30 begins to enter the guide groove 21 of the baffle plate 210. As the transmission component 31 gradually moves along the guide groove 21, after the transmission component 31 moves to the pushing section 211, the baffle plate 210 also slowly opens around its axis.

[0082] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in the working state, the transmission component 31 moves within the guide groove 21, causing the baffle plate 210 to rotate until it reaches the working state, i.e., the horizontal position. At this time, the transmission component 31 is still located within the guide groove 21. When the air conditioner is in working state, the inner side of the baffle plate 210 is horizontally placed within the air duct assembly 110, and the outer side is horizontally placed within the connector 30, without occupying additional space. This also reduces wind resistance, lowers noise, and improves the user experience.

[0083] When the portable air conditioner needs to be turned off, the connector is disassembled from bottom to top. Its transmission component 31 moves within the guide groove 21, causing the baffle plate 210 to rotate counterclockwise. This is the reverse process, and the locking component 41 on the rear plate 120 enters the guide groove 21. At this time, the spring gradually returns to its original position. As the pressure on the connector 30 gradually decreases and the spring gradually returns to its original position, the locking component 41 gradually returns to the horizontal position, forming the initial "self-locking structure". The exhaust port structure provided by this application is simple and easy to operate.

[0084] Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been specifically shown and described above. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the detailed structures, arrangements, or implementations described herein; rather, this disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements contained within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0085] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0086] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0087] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0088] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0089] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0090] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
