[0046] The present invention provides a fan motion component and an air conditioner that can ensure close-range air supply, improve the air volume and performance of the entire machine, and facilitate lightweight development of the entire machine.

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

[0048] The application provides a fan movement assembly, comprising:

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

[0050] A turnover assembly 200, which is arranged between the fan 300 and the reciprocating movement assembly 100, and is used to drive the fan 300 to turn over a preset angle, so that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is directed to the air outlet of the at least two air outlet positions.

[0051] The fan movement assembly provided by the application comprises a reciprocating movement assembly 100 and a turnover assembly 200, the fan 300 is arranged on the reciprocating movement assembly 100, the reciprocating movement assembly 100 can drive the fan 300 to reciprocate between at least two air outlet positions, the turnover assembly 200 is arranged between the fan 300 and the reciprocating movement assembly 100, and the turnover assembly 200 can drive the fan 300 to turn over a preset angle, so that the fan 300 is directed to the air outlet of the air outlet position, the movement of the fan 300 between the at least two air outlet positions is realized, and when the fan 300 moves to the at least two air outlet positions, the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is changed correspondingly under the driving of the turnover assembly 200, so that different air outlet positions can be selected according to different requirements, and near-distance air supply can be ensured when air is supplied at different positions, the problems of air supply volume loss, vibration and noise in traditional air duct components are solved, the air volume and performance of the whole machine are improved, and the development of the light weight of the whole machine is facilitated.

[0052] It can be understood that when the air outlet position is two, i.e., a first position and a second position, the reciprocating movement assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to reciprocate between the first position and the second position, for example, when the fan 300 is at the first position, the air outlet is located above, when the fan 300 is at the second position, the air outlet is located below, when the fan 300 reciprocates between the first position and the second position, the turnover assembly 200 drives the fan 300 to turn over 180 degrees, so that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is directed to the above and the below respectively, when the fan 300 is at the first position, the air outlet is located above, when the fan 300 is at the second position, the air outlet is directed to the front, when the fan 300 reciprocates between the first position and the second position, the turnover assembly 200 drives the fan 300 to turn over 90 degrees, so that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is directed to the above and the front respectively, so that different air outlet positions can be selected according to different requirements, and near-distance air supply can be ensured when air is supplied at different positions, the problems of air supply volume loss, vibration and noise in traditional air duct components are solved, the air volume and performance of the whole machine are improved, and the development of the light weight of the whole machine is facilitated.

[0053] It should be noted that the fan movement assembly provided by the application is used to adjust the position of the fan 300, so that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is directed to the air outlet of the air outlet position. The fan movement assembly replaces the original complex air duct structure, which can realize the lightweight development of the whole machine and simplify the internal structure of the whole machine. However, when the air outlet is located in 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 expanded, that is, the air outlet direction of the fan 300 can be directed to the upper side and guided to the air outlet through the whole machine shell; or it can also be understood that the air outlet direction of the fan 300 is directed to the air outlet direction which is inclined to the air outlet direction, and the function is to ensure that the air volume of the fan 300 is directly blown out of the air outlet to the outside, to realize the near-distance air supply, to avoid the problem that the original air supply air duct is easy to produce vortex to cause vibration and abnormal sound, and to improve the comfort of the whole machine.

[0054] In some embodiments of the application, the turnover assembly 200 includes a turnover gear 201 and a turnover rack 202, and the turnover gear 201 is matched with the turnover rack 202.

[0055] The fan 300 is rotatably arranged on the reciprocating movement assembly 100, the turnover gear 201 is arranged on the fan 300, the turnover rack 202 is arranged on the reciprocating movement assembly 100, and the turnover rack 202 is located on the movement path of the turnover gear 201.

[0056] In some embodiments of the application, the turnover assembly 200 includes a turnover gear 201 and a turnover rack 202, the fan 300 is rotatably arranged on the reciprocating movement assembly 100, the turnover rack 202 is located on the movement path of the turnover gear 201, when the reciprocating movement assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to reciprocate, the turnover gear 201 can move with the fan 300, when the turnover gear 201 is engaged with the turnover rack 202, the turnover gear 201 rotates to drive the fan 300 to rotate, so as to change the air outlet direction of the fan 300.

[0057] It can be understood that when the turnover gear 201 and the turnover rack 202 are engaged, the angle of rotation of the turnover gear 201 can be adjusted according to the distance of the reciprocating movement assembly 100 driving the fan 300 to move, for example, when the turnover gear 201 needs to rotate a large angle, the reciprocating movement assembly 100 drives the fan 300 to move a long 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 engages with the flip rack 202, thereby driving the fan 300 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby changing the air outlet direction of the fan 300 to 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 moved up and down 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 assembly 100 can use a lifting assembly, a guide rail slider moving assembly, or a motor screw assembly in the prior art to achieve the reciprocating movement of the fan 300. The flip gear 210 can be rotated by providing a flip drive 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 movable 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 each of the two sets of movable guide rails 104. The two sets of driving gears 107 are meshed and connected with the two sets of driving racks 109 respectively.

[0064] Two sets of rolling wheels 111 are further provided on the transmission shaft 105, and rolling grooves 112 are provided on both sets of the 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 provided on the side away from the driving gear 107. The rolling wheels 111 cooperate with the rolling grooves 112.

[0065] The reciprocating drive structure is in transmission 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 rolling groove 112 .

[0066] In some of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the reciprocating moving component 100 includes a reciprocating drive 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 drive 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. The rolling wheels 111 and the rolling grooves 112 cooperate to ensure that the fan 300 can move along the extension direction of the movable guide rail 104; and the two ends of the transmission shaft 105 and the two groups of movable guide rails 104 are meshed and connected through the driving gear 107 and the driving rack 109 to realize the transmission between the transmission shaft 105 and the movable guide rail 104; when the reciprocating drive structure drives the transmission shaft 105 to rotate, the driving gear 107 on the transmission shaft 105 can roll along the driving rack 109, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the fan 300.

[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 scroll wheel 111 is disposed on the scroll wheel bracket 110;

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

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 drive motor 101, a driving gear 102 and a driven gear 103, the drive motor 101 is connected to the rotating bracket 106, the driving gear 102 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 101, the driven gear 103 is arranged on the transmission shaft 105, and the driving gear 102 is meshed with the driven gear 103.

[0076] In some of the above embodiments of the present invention, the driving motor 101 drives the transmission shaft 105 to rotate through the driving gear 102 and the driven gear 103, and the driving gear 107 on the transmission shaft 105 rotates, thereby driving the fan 300 to move along the movable guide rail 104. The structure is simple and the space occupied is small.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rolling grooves 112 are provided on both sides of the movable guide rail 104 , and the rolling wheel 111 is respectively matched with the rolling grooves 112 on both sides of the movable guide rail 104 after being turned 180 degrees.

[0078] In some of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, by setting rolling grooves 112 on both sides of the movable guide rail 104, when the fan 300 flips 180 degrees, the rolling wheel 111 follows the flip 180 degrees, and then the rolling wheel 111 can cooperate with the rolling groove 112 on the other side of the movable guide rail 104 and continue to slide along the rolling groove 112, thereby realizing the air supply requirements of the air outlet position at a farther distance and having a wider range of applications.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, a locking assembly is provided in the rolling groove 112, and the locking assembly includes a locking block 113, a locking spring 114 and a locking ball head 115.
