For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0046] The present invention provides a fan motion component and an air conditioner which can ensure short-distance air supply, is beneficial to improving the air volume and performance of the whole machine, and is beneficial to the lightweight development of the whole machine.

[0047] Combine the following Figures 1 to 13 The technical solution provided by the present invention is described in more detail.

[0048] The present invention provides a fan motion assembly, comprising:

[0049] A reciprocating assembly 100, a fan 300 is arranged on the reciprocating assembly 100, and the reciprocating assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to reciprocate between at least two air outlet positions;

[0050] The flip assembly 200 is disposed between the fan 300 and the reciprocating assembly 100, and is used to drive the fan 300 to flip at a preset angle so that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is toward the air outlets at at least two air outlet positions.

[0051] The fan motion component provided by the present invention includes a reciprocating component 100 and a flip component 200. The fan 300 is arranged on the reciprocating component 100. The reciprocating component 100 can drive the fan 300 to reciprocate between at least two air outlet positions. A flip component 200 is arranged between the fan 300 and the reciprocating component 100. The flip component 200 can drive the fan 300 to flip at a preset angle, so that the fan 300 faces the air outlet at the air outlet position, and the fan 300 moves between at least two air outlet positions. When the fan 300 moves to at least two air outlet positions, the air outlet direction of the fan 300 changes accordingly under the drive of the flip component 200, thereby realizing the selection of air outlet at different positions according to different needs, and when air is discharged at different positions, close-range air supply can be guaranteed, which solves the problems of air volume loss, vibration and noise in the air supply of traditional air duct components, is beneficial to improving the air volume and performance of the whole machine, and is beneficial to the lightweight development of the whole machine.

[0052] It can be understood that when there are two air outlet positions, namely the first position and the second position, the reciprocating assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to reciprocate between the first position and the second position. For example, when the fan 300 is in the first position, the air outlet is located at the top, and when the fan 300 is in the second position, the air outlet is located at the bottom. When the fan 300 reciprocates between the first position and the second position, the flip assembly 200 drives the fan 300 to flip 180 degrees, so that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is respectively facing upward and downward; when the fan 300 is in the first position, The air outlet is located at the top. When the fan 300 is in the second position, the air outlet faces forward. When the fan 300 reciprocates between the first position and the second position, the flip assembly 200 drives the fan 300 to flip 90 degrees, so that the air outlet directions of the fan 300 are respectively facing upward and forward; thereby, different positions are selected for air outlet according to different needs, and when air is outlet at different positions, close-range air supply can be guaranteed, which solves the problems of air volume loss, vibration and noise in the air supply of traditional air duct components, is beneficial to improving the air volume and performance of the whole machine, and is beneficial to the lightweight development of the whole machine.

[0053] It should be noted that the fan motion assembly provided by the present invention is used to adjust the position of the fan 300 so that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is toward the air outlet at the air outlet position. The fan motion assembly is used to replace the original complex air duct structure, which can achieve the lightweight development of the whole machine and simplify the internal structure of the whole machine. However, when the air outlet is located at the upper front, considering that the position of the air outlet is relatively high, at this time, the air outlet direction of the fan 300 should be interpreted in an expanded manner toward the air outlet. The air outlet direction of the fan 300 can be toward the top and guided to the air outlet through the whole machine casing; or it can also be understood that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is tilted toward the air outlet direction, etc., and its role is to ensure that the air volume of the fan 300 is directly blown out of the air outlet to the outside world, realize close-range air supply, avoid the problem of vortexes easily generated inside the original air supply duct causing vibration and abnormal noise, and improve the comfort of the whole machine.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the flip assembly 200 includes a flip gear 201 and a flip rack 202, and the flip gear 201 is adapted to the flip rack 202;

[0055] The fan 300 is rotatably disposed on the reciprocating assembly 100 , the flip gear 201 is disposed on the fan 300 , the flip rack 202 is disposed on the reciprocating assembly 100 , and the flip rack 202 is located on the moving path of the flip gear 201 .

[0056] In some of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the flip assembly 200 includes a flip gear 201 and a flip rack 202, the fan 300 is rotatably arranged on the reciprocating assembly 100, and the flip rack 202 is located on the moving path of the flip gear 201. When the reciprocating assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to move reciprocatingly, the flip gear 201 can move with the fan 300. When the flip gear 201 is engaged with the flip rack 202, the flip gear 201 rotates to drive the fan 300 to rotate, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the fan 300.

[0057] It can be understood that when the flip gear 201 and the flip rack 202 are engaged, the rotation angle of the flip gear 201 can be adjusted according to the distance that the reciprocating assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to move. For example, when the flip gear 201 needs to rotate a larger angle, the reciprocating assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to move a longer distance.

[0058] For example: when the reciprocating component 100 drives the fan 300 to move up and down between the lower position and the upper position, when the fan 300 is in the lower position, the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is downward, and when the fan 300 is in the upper position, the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is upward. A flip rack 202 is provided near the upper position on the reciprocating component 100. When the reciprocating component 100 drives the fan 300 to continue to rise, the flip gear 201 on the fan 300 is engaged with the flip rack 202, which can drive the fan 300 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the fan 300 to face upward.

[0059] In addition, by changing the diameter of the flip gear 201, the rotation angle of the fan 300 can also be adjusted. When the reciprocating assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to move, the larger the diameter of the flip gear 201, the longer the distance required for the fan 300 to rotate 180 degrees; that is, the angle of the fan 300 can be adjusted by cooperating with the flip gear 201 and the flip rack 202.

[0060] As shown in the above example: by properly setting the flip gear 201 and the flip rack 202, it is ensured that when the fan 300 is lifted and moved to the lower position and the upper position, the flip gear 201 is flipped 180 degrees, thereby completing the flipping of the fan 300.

[0061] It should be noted that, in the above example, the reciprocating moving assembly 100 can use a lifting assembly, a guide rail slider moving assembly or a motor screw assembly in the prior art to complete the reciprocating movement of the fan 300. The flip gear 210 can be rotated by setting a flip driving structure, thereby ensuring that the fan 300 can change the air outlet direction.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reciprocating assembly 100 includes a reciprocating drive structure, two sets of moving guide rails 104 and a transmission shaft 105, and the fan 300 is rotatably disposed on the transmission shaft 105;

[0063] A driving gear 107 is provided at both ends of the transmission shaft 105, and a driving rack 109 is provided on both sets of the moving guide rails 104, and the two sets of the driving gear 107 are meshed and connected with the two sets of the driving rack 109 respectively;

[0064] Two groups of rolling wheels 111 are also provided on the transmission shaft 105, and rolling grooves 112 are provided on the two groups of movable guide rails 104. The extending direction of the rolling grooves 112 is consistent with the extending direction of the driving rack 109, and the rolling grooves 112 are arranged on a side away from the driving gear 107, and the rolling wheels 111 are matched with the rolling grooves 112;

[0065] The reciprocating driving structure is in driving connection with the transmission shaft 105 to drive the transmission shaft 105 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 105 drives the driving gear 107 to rotate, so that the rolling wheel 111 rolls along the direction of the rolling groove 112 .

[0066] In some of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the reciprocating moving component 100 includes a reciprocating driving structure, two sets of moving guide rails 104 and a transmission shaft 105. The fan 300 is rotatably arranged on the transmission shaft 105. The transmission shaft 105 is mounted on the two sets of moving guide rails 104 and can slide along the extension direction of the moving guide rail 104 with the cooperation of the driving gear 107 and the driving rack 109, the rolling wheel 111 and the rolling groove 112. The reciprocating driving structure is used to drive the transmission shaft 105 to rotate, thereby realizing automatic control of the reciprocating movement of the fan 300.

[0067] It can be understood that two groups of rolling wheels 111 are provided on the transmission shaft 105, and rolling grooves 112 are provided on the two groups of movable guide rails 104.

[0068] It should be noted that the cooperation between the rolling wheel 111 and the rolling groove 112 and the cooperation between the driving gear 107 and the driving rack 109 can effectively ensure the movement accuracy of the fan 300 and ensure the stability of the fan 300 during operation.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rolling wheel 111 is disposed on the rolling wheel bracket 110;

[0070] A rotating bracket 106 is rotatably disposed on the transmission shaft 105, and the roller bracket 110 is connected to the rotating bracket 106;

[0071] A rubber block 117 is disposed between the roller bracket 110 and the rotating bracket 106 .

[0074] In some of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, by setting the rotating bracket 106, the roller and the roller bracket 110 can be rotatably set on the transmission shaft 105, the fan 300 is set on the rotating bracket 106, and the two groups of the movable guide rails 104 are also provided with a curved slide groove 118 for the rolling wheel 111 and the roller bracket 110 to rotate. The flipping assembly 200 can drive the fan 300, the roller bracket 110 and the roller to flip synchronously, and the roller bracket 110 and the roller flip along the curved slide groove 118, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the fan 300.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reciprocating drive structure includes a driving motor 101, a driving gear 102 and a driven gear 103, the driving motor 101 is connected to the rotating bracket 106, the driving gear 102 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 101, the driven gear 103 is arranged on the transmission shaft 105, and the driving gear 102 is meshed and connected with the driven gear 103.
