[0030] Such as Figure 1-8As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a wind guiding lever 10, which includes a lever body 100 and an installation groove 110 provided in the middle of the lever body 100. An elastic support portion 112 is provided in the installation groove 110. One side of the elastic support portion 112 is connected to the bottom wall 1102 of the installation groove 110, and the other side of the elastic support portion 112 cooperates with the top wall 1101 of the installation groove 110 to define a sliding sub-groove. The elastic support portion 112 is configured such that when the side of the elastic support portion 112 close to the top wall 1101 is pressed, the width of the sliding sub-groove increases accordingly and returns to its original state after the pressure is removed.

[0031] Among them, the lever body 100 is generally strip-shaped, and a part of its middle part is hollowed out to form the installation groove 110. The installation groove 110 is arc-shaped, so that the sliding sub-groove formed by the cooperation of the top wall 1101 and the elastic support portion 112 is arc-shaped, which is convenient for the positioning post 210 to slide a longer distance within the lever body 100 of the same length, so as to make the adjustment range of the air-sweeping blade 320 wider.

[0032] Among them, the elastic support portion 112 and the top wall 1101 cooperate to define a sliding sub-groove. Generally, when the elastic support portion 112 is not pressed, the width of the sliding sub-groove is less than or equal to the width of the positioning post 210. That is, the positioning post 210 is clamped with the sliding sub-groove.

[0033] According to the above description, it can be understood that by providing the elastic support portion 112 in the installation groove 110, the installation groove 110 is separated to form a sliding sub-groove, which is used to cooperate with the positioning post 210 for connection. At the same time, the elastic support portion 112 is configured such that when the side of the elastic support portion 112 close to the top wall 1101 is pressed, the width of the sliding sub-groove increases accordingly and returns to its original state after the pressure is removed; that is, when the positioning post 210 needs to slide in the sliding sub-groove, the positioning post 210 applies pressure to the elastic support portion 112 to increase the width of the sliding sub-groove, which is convenient for the positioning post 210 to slide in the sliding sub-groove. After sliding to the set position, the pressure applied by the positioning post 210 to the elastic support portion 112 is removed, so that the elastic support portion 112 returns to its original state, and the width of the sliding sub-groove is restored to clamp with the positioning post 210, making the connection between the positioning post 210 and the sliding sub-groove more stable. That is, by providing the elastic support portion 112, it can not only ensure the smooth sliding of the positioning post 210 and the sliding sub-groove, but also clamp the positioning post 210 after sliding to the position to ensure the reliability of the connection.

[0034] In some embodiments, the elastic support portion 112 includes a support sub-portion 1121 and an elastic sub-portion 1122. The support sub-portion 1121 is arranged along the length direction of the installation groove 110, and the elastic sub-portion 1122 is connected between the support sub-portion 1121 and the bottom wall 1102. The elastic sub-portion 1122 is used to deform when the support sub-portion 1121 is pressed and recover after the pressure is removed.

[0035] Among them, the supporting sub - part 1121 is arranged along the length direction of the installation groove 110. That is, as the bottom wall of the sliding sub - groove, it is generally also arc - shaped, which is convenient for the sliding sub - groove formed by the cooperation of the supporting sub - part 1121 and the inner top to be arc - shaped.

[0036] The elastic sub - part 1122 is used to provide an elastic force and is arranged between the supporting sub - part 1121 and the bottom wall 1102. It is used to undergo elastic deformation when the supporting sub - part 1121 is pressed, so that the width of the sliding sub - groove increases, and it recovers elastic deformation after the pressure is removed, so as to restore the sliding sub - groove and make the sliding sub - groove clamp the positioning post 210.

[0037] In some embodiments, the elastic sub - part 1122 and the supporting sub - part 1121 are of an integral structure.

[0038] In some embodiments, the elastic sub - part 1122 includes a plurality of elastic elements, and the plurality of elastic elements are connected at equal intervals between the bottom wall 1102 and the supporting sub - part 1121.

[0039] It can be understood that the purpose of connecting the plurality of elastic elements at equal intervals between the bottom wall 1102 and the supporting sub - part 1121 is to make the plurality of elastic elements evenly distributed between the bottom wall 1102 and the supporting sub - part 1121. Thus, when the positioning post 210 slides with the sliding sub - groove, the force on each position of the elastic support part 112 is relatively uniform.

[0040] In some embodiments, the elastic element includes a first elastic rib and a second elastic rib. The first elastic rib and the second elastic rib are connected between the bottom wall 1102 and the supporting sub - part 1121, and the first elastic rib and the second elastic rib are arranged oppositely.

[0041] Generally, the elastic element formed by the first elastic rib and the second elastic rib is an axisymmetric structure. The elastic element structure formed by the cooperation of the two elastic ribs is more firm, which can improve the structural strength of the elastic support part 112.

[0042] In some embodiments, only one elastic rib can also be provided for the elastic element.

[0043] Generally, the elastic rib is generally made of the same material as the rod body 100, that is, the elastic rib in a thin shape is formed by hollowing out the rod body 100. For example, an "S" - shaped elastic rib or an arc - shaped elastic rib is formed through corresponding processes.

[0044] In some embodiments, there are preset intervals between both ends of the supporting sub - part 1121 and both sides of the installation groove 110.

[0045] Among them, the supporting sub - part 1121 has a long - strip structure, and its two ends are spaced from both sides of the installation groove 110 respectively, which can cooperate with the elastic support part 112 to increase the width of the sliding sub - groove when it is pressed.

[0046] In some embodiments, a limiting sub - part extending towards the top wall 1101 is provided at the end of the supporting sub - part 1121, and there is a preset distance between the limiting sub - part and the installation groove.

[0047] Among them, by providing a limiting sub - part at the end of the supporting sub - part 1121, the purpose is to prevent the positioning post 210 from sliding out of the sliding sub - groove due to over - sliding.

[0048] Among them, limiting sub - parts are respectively provided at both ends of the supporting sub - part 1121. The limiting sub - parts still maintain a preset distance from the installation groove 110, and the preset distance is less than the width of the positioning post 210, so that the limiting sub - parts can limit the positioning post 210 in the sliding sub - groove.

[0049] In some embodiments, a plurality of equally - spaced concave sub - grooves 1110 are provided on the side of the elastic support part 112 close to the top wall 1101.

[0050] That is, by providing a plurality of equally - spaced concave sub - grooves 1110 on the side of the elastic support part 112 close to the top wall 1101, the bottom wall of the sliding sub - groove has a plurality of equally - spaced concave sub - grooves 1110. The concave sub - grooves cooperate with the top wall 1101 to form a clamping structure that clamps with the positioning post 210. That is, the width of the clamping structure is the same as the width of the positioning post 210, or the width of the clamping structure is less than the width of the positioning post 210, so that the positioning post 210 moves between a plurality of concave sub - grooves 1110, avoiding the positioning post 210 from slipping when there is no external force.

[0051] In some embodiments, the present utility model further provides a wind - sweeping device, which at least includes the air - guiding lever 10 of the above - mentioned embodiment. Therefore, the wind - sweeping device at least has some or all of the beneficial effects of the air - guiding lever 10 of the above - mentioned embodiment, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0052] In some embodiments, the wind - sweeping device further includes an air - outlet frame 20 and a wind - sweeping member 30. The air - outlet frame 20 has a positioning post 210. The wind - sweeping member 30 includes a connecting member 310 and a plurality of blades 320 spacedly connected to the connecting member 310. The wind - sweeping member 30 is connected to the air - outlet frame 20. The positioning post 210 passes through the connecting member 310 and is clamped with the sliding sub - groove, and the blades 320 are movably connected to the rod body 100.

[0053] Among them, clamping grooves 120 are equidistantly arranged on the rod body 100, and clamping shafts 321 that are clamped with the clamping grooves 120 are provided on the blades 320. Each blade 320 is correspondingly movably connected to a clamping groove 120.

[0054] Among them, the connecting member 310 has a sheet - like structure, and the purpose is to better cooperate with the air - outlet frame 20 and the rod body 100 of the air - guiding lever 10.

[0055] The connecting member 310 is provided with a through hole or a groove structure, so that the positioning column 210 on the air outlet frame 20 passes through the connecting member 310 and is connected to the sliding sub-groove on the air guide lever 10 .
