[0071] See also Figure 10 to Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving unit 35 is disposed in the body 31, and the output end of the driving unit 35 is drivingly connected to one end of the transmission member 34. The driving unit 35 can drive the transmission member 34 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction along its own axis, and then can drive the first baffle 32 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction through the first transmission wheel 341, and can drive the second baffle 33 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction through the second transmission wheel 342, thereby opening and closing the first air supply duct 23 and the second air supply duct 24 respectively.

[0072] See also Figures 7 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the body 31 includes a frame portion 311 and a box portion 312. The frame portion 311 is provided with a first window 3111 and a second window 3112 arranged at intervals, the first window 3111 is directly connected to the first air inlet end 232 of the first air supply duct 23, and the second window 3112 is directly connected to the second air inlet end 242 of the second air supply duct 24. At the same time, the first baffle 32 is rotatably connected to the frame portion 311 through the first rotating shaft portion 321 and the second rotating shaft portion 322, and the first baffle 32 is directly arranged to face the first window 3111. The second baffle 33 is rotatably connected to the frame portion 311 through the third rotating shaft portion 331 and the fourth rotating shaft portion 332, and the second baffle 33 is directly arranged to face the second window 3112.

Therefore, the driving unit 35 can drive the transmission member 34 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction along its own axis, and then can drive the first baffle 32 to rotate on the frame body 311 to open and close the first air supply duct 23, and can drive the second baffle 33 to rotate on the frame body 311 to open and close the second air supply duct 24.

[0074] In some embodiments, the end of the transmission member 34 extending into the box body 312 is provided with a gear portion 343. At the same time, the driving unit 35 adopts a driving motor, and the output shaft of the driving motor is in driving connection with the gear portion 343 of the transmission member 34. Therefore, when the output shaft of the driving motor rotates forward or reversely, the gear portion 343 can synchronously rotate forward or reversely, thereby driving the transmission member 34 to rotate forward or reversely along its own axis, thereby driving the first baffle 32 to rotate to open and close the first air supply duct 23, and driving the second baffle 33 to rotate to open and close the second air supply duct 24.

[0075] In some embodiments, a gear assembly 36 is provided in the box body 312, and the gear assembly 36 includes a plurality of reduction gears, and the plurality of reduction gears are provided between the output shaft of the drive motor and the gear portion 343 of the transmission member 34, so that the output shaft of the drive motor can be connected to the gear portion 343 of the transmission member 34 through the plurality of reduction gears, thereby converting the high rotation speed of the output shaft of the drive motor into the low rotation speed of the transmission member 34, so that the drive motor can more accurately control the rotation speed and rotation angle of the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33.

[0076] See also Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a first connection portion 313 and a second connection portion 314 are convexly disposed in the frame portion 311, and the first connection portion 313 and the second connection portion 314 are disposed on both sides of the axial direction of the first baffle 32. At the same time, the first rotation shaft portion 321 of the first baffle 32 is rotatably connected to the first connection portion 313, and the second rotation shaft portion 322 of the first baffle 32 is rotatably connected to the second connection portion 314, so that the first baffle 32 can be rotatably disposed on the frame portion 311.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first connection portion 313 is spaced apart from the box body 312. The second baffle 33 is disposed on a side of the first baffle 32 close to the box body 312, and the second baffle 33 is disposed between the first connection portion 313 and the box body 312.

[0078] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second baffle 33 may also be disposed on a side of the first baffle 32 away from the box body 312 .

[0079] See also Figures 7 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the electric damper 3 is arranged at the bottom edge of the air duct assembly 2, that is, the frame portion 311 and the box portion 312 of the main body 31 are both arranged at the bottom edge of the air duct assembly 2. At the same time, the first air inlet end 232 of the first air supply duct 23 extends to the bottom edge of the air duct assembly 2 and is directly connected to the first window 3111. The second air inlet end 242 of the second air supply duct 24 extends to the bottom edge of the air duct assembly 2 and is directly connected to the second window 3112. Therefore, when the first baffle 32 closes the first window 3111 and the second baffle 33 closes the second window 3112, the electric damper 3 can isolate the cold air below the bottom side of the air duct assembly 2, that is, the electric damper 3 can isolate the cold air in the external area of ​​the air duct assembly 2, thereby preventing the cold air from entering the air duct assembly 2 and forming a low-temperature zone inside the air duct assembly 2, thereby preventing the low-temperature zone from affecting the temperature of the storage compartment 10 on the front side of the air duct assembly 2, thereby preventing the thermal insulation performance of the air duct assembly 2 from deteriorating.

[0080] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the electric damper 3 may also be disposed at other side edges of the air duct assembly 2, such as the top side edge, the left side edge, or the right side edge. Therefore, the frame portion 311 and the box portion 312 of the main body 31 of the electric damper 3 may also be disposed at other side edges of the air duct assembly 2.

[0082] See also Figures 10 to 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the first driving teeth 3411 and the third driving teeth 3412 are convexly provided on the peripheral side wall of the first transmission wheel 341, and the first driving teeth 3411 and the third driving teeth 3412 are respectively protruded from the peripheral side wall of the first transmission wheel 341, and the first driving teeth 3411 and the third driving teeth 3412 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. At the same time, the first baffle 32 is convexly provided with a first transmission tooth 323 on one side close to the transmission member 34, and the first transmission tooth 323 can be meshed and connected with the first driving teeth 3411 and the third driving teeth 3412 respectively. Therefore, when the transmission member 34 rotates, the first transmission wheel 341 can engage with the first transmission teeth 323 of the first baffle 32 through the first driving teeth 3411, thereby driving the first baffle 32 to rotate and open and close the first air supply duct 23; at the same time, when the transmission member 34 rotates, the second transmission wheel 342 can also engage with the first transmission teeth 323 of the first baffle 32 through the third driving teeth 3412, thereby driving the first baffle 32 to rotate and open and close the first air supply duct 23.

[0083] A second driving tooth 3421 is convexly provided on the peripheral side wall of the second transmission wheel 342, and the second driving tooth 3421 protrudes out of the peripheral side wall of the second transmission wheel 342. At the same time, a second transmission tooth 333 is convexly provided on one side of the second baffle plate 33 close to the transmission member 34, and the second transmission tooth 333 can be meshed and connected with the second driving tooth 3421. Therefore, when the transmission member 34 rotates, the second transmission wheel 342 can mesh with the second transmission tooth 333 of the second baffle plate 33 through the second driving tooth 3421, thereby driving the second baffle plate 33 to rotate and open and close the second air supply duct 24.

[0084] See also Figures 10 to 19 As shown, the first drive teeth 3411, the second drive teeth 3421 and the third drive teeth 3412 are arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction of the transmission member 34, so that the first drive teeth 3411, the second drive teeth 3421 and the third drive teeth 3412 can cooperate with the first transmission teeth 323 and the second transmission teeth 333 to successively drive the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33 to rotate, thereby realizing different opening and closing states of the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33.

[0085] Specifically, when the driving unit 35 drives the transmission member 34 to rotate in the first direction, the first driving teeth 3411 of the first transmission wheel 341 can first mesh with the first transmission teeth 323 of the first baffle plate 32, driving the first baffle plate 32 to rotate forward, thereby opening the first air supply duct 23. The second driving teeth 3421 of the second transmission wheel 342 can then mesh with the second transmission teeth 333 of the second baffle plate 33, driving the second baffle plate 33 to rotate forward, thereby opening the second air supply duct 24. Therefore, the first driving teeth 3411 of the first transmission wheel 341 cooperate with the first transmission teeth 323 of the first baffle plate 32, and the second driving teeth 3421 of the second transmission wheel 342 cooperate with the second transmission teeth 333 of the second baffle plate 33, so that the first air supply duct 23 and the second air supply duct 24 can be opened in sequence, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 , Figure 14 to Figure 15 shown.

[0086] When the driving unit 35 drives the transmission member 34 to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the third driving teeth 3412 of the first transmission wheel 341 can first mesh with the first transmission teeth 323 of the first baffle plate 32, driving the first baffle plate 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby closing the first air supply duct 23. The second driving teeth 3421 of the second transmission wheel 342 can then mesh with the second transmission teeth 333, driving the second baffle plate 33 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby closing the second air supply duct 24. Therefore, the third driving teeth 3412 of the first transmission wheel 341 cooperate with the first transmission teeth 323 of the first baffle plate 32, and the second driving teeth 3421 of the second transmission wheel 342 cooperate with the second transmission teeth 333 of the second baffle plate 33, so that the first air supply duct 23 and the second air supply duct 24 can be closed in sequence. Fig.16 , Figure 17 to Figure 18 shown.

[0087] To summarize, compared with the current solutions on the market that use multiple dampers to open and close different air supply ducts, the electric damper 3 in the embodiment of the present invention can cooperate with the transmission member 34 through a driving unit 35, and utilize the first transmission wheel 341 and the second transmission wheel 342 on the transmission member 34 to drive the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33 to open and close the first air supply duct 23 and the second air supply duct 24 respectively, thereby realizing a variety of different usage states, which is beneficial to reducing the number of electric dampers 3 and reducing the occupied volume of the electric dampers 3.

[0088] See also Figures 10 to 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the first shaft portion 321 is circumferentially arranged opposite to the first transmission wheel 341. The first transmission tooth 323 is disposed on the outer wall of the first shaft portion 321, and the first transmission tooth 323 is disposed on one side of the first shaft portion 321 close to the first transmission wheel 341.

[0089] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first transmission tooth 323 may also be disposed on the outer wall of the second shaft portion 322. In this case, the second shaft portion 322 and the first transmission wheel 341 are arranged circumferentially opposite to each other, and the first transmission tooth 323 is disposed on a side of the second shaft portion 322 close to the first transmission wheel 341. In other embodiments, the first transmission tooth 323 may also be disposed at other positions on a side of the first baffle 32 close to the transmission member 34.

[0090] See also Figures 10 to 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the third shaft portion 331 is circumferentially arranged opposite to the second transmission wheel 342. The second transmission tooth 333 is disposed on the outer wall of the second shaft portion 322, and the second transmission tooth 333 is disposed on one side of the second shaft portion 322 close to the second transmission wheel 342.

[0091] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second transmission tooth 333 may also be disposed on the outer wall of the fourth shaft portion 332. In this case, the fourth shaft portion 332 and the second transmission wheel 342 are arranged circumferentially opposite to each other, and the second transmission tooth 333 is disposed on a side of the fourth shaft portion 332 close to the second transmission wheel 342. In other embodiments, the second transmission tooth 333 may also be disposed at other positions on a side of the second baffle 33 close to the transmission member 34.

[0092] See also Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, in some embodiments, the working state of the electric damper 3 includes an initial state A0 and a first state A1. In the initial state A0, the first baffle 32 closes the first air supply duct 23, and the second baffle 33 closes the second air supply duct 24. Fig.13 In the first state A1, the first baffle 32 opens the first air supply duct 23, and the second baffle 33 closes the second air supply duct 24. Fig.14 When the electric damper 3 is in the initial state A0, the transmission member 34 rotates in the first direction, and the first driving tooth 3411 is meshed with the first transmission tooth 323, as shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, after the transmission member 34 continues to rotate in the first direction by a first preset angle, such as 45°, the electric damper 3 changes to the first state A1. Fig.14 shown.

[0093] In some embodiments, in the initial state A0, the first driving tooth 3411 just meshes with the first transmission tooth 323. Fig.13 Therefore, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the initial state A0 to the first state A1 only by driving the transmission member 34 to continue rotating in the first direction by the first preset angle.

[0094] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, in the initial state A0, the first drive tooth 3411 may be arranged at intervals from the first transmission tooth 323. When the transmission member 34 rotates a certain angle in the first direction, the first drive tooth 3411 is just engaged with the first transmission tooth 323. After that, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the initial state A0 to the first state A1 only after the transmission member 34 is driven to continue rotating the first preset angle in the first direction.

[0095] See also Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, in some embodiments, the working state of the electric damper 3 also includes a second state A2. In the second state A2, the first baffle 32 opens the first air supply duct 23, and the second baffle 33 opens the second air supply duct 24. Fig.15 When the electric damper 3 is in the first state A1, the transmission member 34 rotates in the first direction, and the second driving tooth 3421 is meshed with the second transmission tooth 333, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 As shown, after the transmission member 34 continues to rotate along the first direction by a second preset angle, such as 45°, the electric damper 3 changes to the second state A2, such as Fig.15 In the second state A2, the first transmission tooth 323 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the first transmission wheel 341, so that the first baffle 32 can keep the first air supply duct 23 open.

[0096] In some embodiments, in the first state A1, the second driving tooth 3421 just meshes with the second transmission tooth 333. Fig.14 Therefore, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the first state A1 to the second state A2 only by driving the transmission member 34 to continue rotating in the first direction by a second preset angle.

[0097] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, in the first state A1, the second drive tooth 3421 may be arranged at intervals from the second transmission tooth 333. When the transmission member 34 rotates a certain angle in the first direction, the second drive tooth 3421 just meshes with the second transmission tooth 333. After that, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the first state to the second state A2 only after the transmission member 34 is driven to continue rotating a second preset angle in the first direction.

[0098] See also Figures 14 to 19 As shown, in some embodiments, the electric damper 3 also includes a third state A3, in which the first baffle 32 keeps opening the first air supply duct 23, and the second baffle 33 keeps opening the second air supply duct 24. Fig.16 When the electric damper 3 is in the second state A2, as shown in FIG. Fig.15As shown, after the transmission member 34 continues to rotate along the first direction by a third preset angle, the third driving tooth 3412 can contact and just cross the first transmission tooth 323, so that the electric damper 3 is transformed into the third state A3. Fig.16 As shown. In the third state A3, the first transmission tooth 323 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the first transmission wheel 341, so that the first baffle 32 can keep the first air supply duct 23 open. Similarly, the second transmission tooth 333 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the second transmission wheel 342, so that the second baffle 33 can keep the second air supply duct 24 open. In addition, the third state A3 is a transitional state. When the electric damper 3 is in the third state A3 and the transmission member 34 rotates in the second direction, the third drive tooth 3412 and the second drive tooth 3421 can be meshed and connected with the first transmission tooth 323 and the second transmission tooth 333, so as to close the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33 in sequence.

[0099] See also Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, in some embodiments, the working state of the electric damper 3 also includes a fourth state A4. In the fourth state A4, the first baffle 32 closes the first air supply duct 23, and the second baffle 33 opens the second air supply duct 24. Fig.17 When the electric damper 3 is in the third state A3, the transmission member 34 rotates in the second direction, and the third driving tooth 3412 is meshed with the first transmission tooth 323, as shown in FIG. Fig.16 As shown, after the transmission member 34 continues to rotate along the second direction by a fourth preset angle, such as 45°, the electric damper 3 changes to the fourth state A4, such as Fig.17 In the fourth state A4, the second transmission tooth 333 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the second transmission wheel 342, so that the second baffle plate 33 can keep the second air supply duct 24 open.

[0100] In some embodiments, in the third state A3, the third driving tooth 3412 just meshes with the first transmission tooth 323. Fig.16 Therefore, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the third state A3 to the fourth state A4 only by driving the transmission member 34 to continue rotating in the second direction by a fourth preset angle.

[0101] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, in the third state A3, the third drive tooth 3412 may be arranged at intervals from the first transmission tooth 323. When the transmission member 34 rotates a certain angle in the second direction, the third drive tooth 3412 is just engaged with the first transmission tooth 323. After that, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the third state to the fourth state A4 only after the transmission member 34 is driven to continue rotating a fourth preset angle in the second direction.

[0102] See also Fig.17and Fig.18 As shown, in some embodiments, the working state of the electric damper 3 also includes a fifth state A5. In the fifth state A5, the first baffle 32 closes the first air supply duct 23, and the second baffle 33 closes the second air supply duct 24. Fig.18 When the electric damper 3 is in the fourth state A4, the transmission member 34 rotates in the second direction, and the second driving tooth 3421 meshes with the second transmission tooth 333, as shown in FIG. Fig.17 As shown, after the transmission member 34 continues to rotate in the second direction by a fifth preset angle, such as 45°, the electric damper 3 changes to the fifth state A5. Fig.18 shown.

[0103] In some embodiments, in the fourth state A4, the second driving tooth 3421 just meshes with the second transmission tooth 333. Fig.15 Therefore, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the fourth state A4 to the fifth state A5 only by driving the transmission member 34 to continue rotating in the second direction by a fifth preset angle.

[0104] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, in the fourth state A4, the second drive tooth 3421 may also be arranged at intervals from the second transmission tooth 333. When the transmission member 34 rotates a certain angle in the second direction, the second drive tooth 3421 just meshes with the second transmission tooth 333. Thereafter, the electric damper 3 can be transformed from the fourth state A4 to the fifth state A5 only after the transmission member 34 is driven to continue rotating a fifth preset angle in the second direction.

[0105] See also Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown, in some embodiments, when the electric damper 3 is in the fifth state A5, as shown in FIG. Fig.18 As shown, after the transmission member 34 continues to rotate in the second direction by a sixth preset angle, the first driving tooth 3411 can contact and just pass over the first transmission tooth 323, so that the electric damper 3 is transformed into the initial state A0, as shown in FIG. Fig.19 The initial state A0 is a reset state. When the electric damper 3 is in the initial state A0, when the transmission member 34 rotates in the first direction, the first driving teeth 3411 and the second driving teeth 3421 can be meshed with the first transmission teeth 323 and the second transmission teeth 333, thereby opening the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33 in sequence.

[0106] See also Figures 13 to 19As shown, in some embodiments, the first preset angle, the second preset angle, the third preset angle, the fourth preset angle, the fifth preset angle and the sixth preset angle are equal in angle value, which are all 45° or other angle values. Therefore, it is convenient to control the drive motor to accurately rotate the same preset angle value in sequence, thereby controlling the first baffle 32 and the second baffle 33 to be in different working states alternately in sequence.

[0107] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the angle values ​​of the first preset angle, the second preset angle, the third preset angle, the fourth preset angle, the fifth preset angle and the sixth preset angle may not be equal.

[0108] See also Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a third air supply duct 25 is further provided in the air duct assembly 2. The third air supply duct 25 is connected to the third temperature zone 103, and cold air can be transported to the third temperature zone 103 through the third air supply duct 25 to achieve cooling in the third temperature zone 103.

[0109] In some embodiments, a third air outlet 251 is provided at one end of the third air supply duct 25, and the third air outlet 251 connects the third air supply duct 25 and the third temperature zone 103. Therefore, the cold air in the third air supply duct 25 can be transported into the third temperature zone 103 through the third air outlet 251, thereby achieving cooling of the third temperature zone 103.

[0110] In some embodiments, the third air outlet 251 is disposed on the front side of the air duct assembly 2. When the second storage drawer 5 is extended into the storage compartment 10, the third air outlet 251 is connected to the third temperature zone 103 in the second storage drawer 5, and then cold air can be simultaneously delivered to the third temperature zone 103 through the third air outlet 251, thereby achieving cooling of the third temperature zone 103.

[0111] See also Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first baffle 32 is arranged opposite to the first air supply duct 23 and the third air supply duct 25. When the first baffle 32 closes the first air supply duct 23, the first baffle 32 closes the third air supply duct 25 at the same time.

[0112] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the third air supply duct 25 can be controlled by a separate damper, so as to open and close the third air supply duct 25 separately.
