[0024] The following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The present utility model provides a wind valve with follow-up opening and closing, aiming to solve the problem that traditional wind valves do not have the function of automatic opening and closing.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 4 shown:

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] Preferably, it includes a wind valve housing 1 used as the installation base for each component of the wind valve and the connection base during docking;

[0029] A reciprocating mechanism 2, which has an input end penetrating the wind valve housing 1 and an output end that converts the linear motion of the input end into rotational motion. Two sets of the reciprocating mechanism 2 are arranged from top to bottom along the direction of the wind valve facing the air duct 9;

[0030] Blades 3, the blades 3 are coaxially arranged on the output end of the reciprocating mechanism 2. When the blades 3 of the two sets of reciprocating mechanisms 2 follow the reciprocating mechanism 2 to act, they jointly close or open the ventilation inner cavity of the wind valve facing the air duct 9.

[0031] In an implementation manner of the present utility model, the reciprocating mechanism 2 includes a housing 21. A set of meshing gears 22 and a rack 23 are arranged inside the housing 21. The gear 22 is coaxially connected through a rotating shaft 24 fixed between the wind valve housing 1 and the housing 21. One end of the rack 23 is connected with a push rod 25 penetrating the wind valve housing 1, and the other end is abutted against the inner wall of the housing 21 by a return spring 26.

[0032] In an implementation manner of the present utility model, a limiting pulley 27 is further arranged on one side of the rack 23. The limiting pulley 27 is installed in the guide rail on the inner wall of the housing 21 along the linear sliding direction.

[0033] In an implementation manner of the present utility model, the wind valve housing 1 includes a main body frame 11 and a flange plate 12 installed on the outer surface of the main body frame 11. A plurality of flange holes 13 are evenly distributed on the flange plate 12.

[0034] In an implementation manner of the present utility model, a rubber sealing gasket 5 is further arranged on the skirt side of the flange plate 12 facing the air duct 9, which has a certain tightness, and the air leakage is not more than 3%.

[0035] In an implementation manner of the present utility model, the inside of the main body frame 11 is covered with a heat preservation layer 6, so as to have heat preservation performance, and can convey hot and cold air, and the temperature attenuation is ≯ 0.3 °C.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present utility model, an insect-proof net 7 is also covered on the ventilation inner cavity on the side of the air valve housing 1 facing the air duct 9, thereby assisting in preventing larger sundries and impurities from entering the air duct 9.

[0037] Embodiment 2:

[0038] Compared with Embodiment 1, the difference in this embodiment is that only one set of reciprocating mechanisms 2 is provided. One set of reciprocating mechanisms 2 is arranged at the center of the air valve housing 1 facing the air duct 9. The blades 3 of the single set of reciprocating mechanisms 2 are larger. When following the movement of the reciprocating mechanisms 2, the ventilation inner cavity of the air valve facing the air duct 9 can be closed or opened by one set of blades 3. However, compared with the cooperative work of two sets of reciprocating mechanisms 2, the advantage is that the structure is simpler, but the stability is slightly worse.

[0039] The specific structure and working principle of the present utility model:

[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, taking the preferred embodiment - two sets of reciprocating mechanisms 2 as an example, two sets of reciprocating mechanisms 2 are arranged at intervals inside the air valve housing 1 facing the air duct 9, that is, one set of blades 3 that rotate with the rotating shafts 24 is installed on each of the two rotating shafts 24 of the air flow inner cavity. When the gear 22 rotates, the two limit positions of the blades 3 are respectively perpendicular to the plane of the air duct 9 and parallel to the plane of the air duct 9. When the blades 3 are parallel to the plane of the air duct 9, the air valve is in a completely closed state. When the blades 3 are perpendicular to the plane of the air duct 9, the air valve is in a completely open state.

[0041] During use, as Figure 3 shown, one set of air valves is installed on the docking surfaces of the two air ducts 9. The air valves establish a connection basis through the flange plates 12 and flange holes 13 on the housing. At this time, the push rods 25 of the reciprocating mechanisms 2 are facing the docking surface, and there is no abutting force on the push rods 25 on one side of the docking surface before docking. At this time, the two sets of blades 3 inside the air valve are in a state parallel to the plane of the air duct 9, that is, in a closed state; as the rotary tower 8 used for docking at the center moves, the two air ducts 9 gradually dock along a circular trajectory. When the two air valves abut, the push rods 25 are subjected to a force, driving the racks 23 to move linearly, compressing the return springs 26, and the gears 22 mesh with the racks 23. The linear motion is converted into the rotational motion of the rotating shafts 24, driving the blades 3 to rotate. When the docking is completed, at this time, the blades 3 are in a state perpendicular to the plane of the air duct 9, that is, completely open, so as to realize that without a power source, the opening and closing of the air valve can follow the docking working state, meet the integrity, heat preservation and airtightness of the pipeline system after the connection of the air supply and return air ducts 9 of the air conditioner, and provide a reliable environmental guarantee for the mission execution.
