[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0036] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0037] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] Such as Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a flip panel structure, comprising: a main body 1, a panel structure 2 and a worm gear set 3, wherein the panel structure 2 has at least one; the panel structure 2 is rotationally connected to the main body 1. The worm gear set 3 is transmission-connected to the panel structure 2, and the worm gear set 3 is suitable for adjusting the rotation angle of the panel structure 2. This solution adjusts the rotation angle of the panel structure 2 through the worm gear set, and can achieve the adjustment of the angle of the panel structure 2 in a limited space, and by using the worm gear set, it can effectively deal with the situation that when the length of the flipped panel is too large, the center of mass is far away from the rotation point of the drive output torque, and the drive and its gear set need to provide a large torque, and there is a risk of insufficient strength.

[0039] It should be noted that other functions can be added by adding other equipment to the panel structure 2. For example, without setting up other equipment, the panel structure 2 can be used for the air duct outlet to change the wind direction of the air outlet. If lights and other structures are installed on the panel structure 2, it can be used to change the illumination angle of the light and the diffusion and convergence of the light. The panel structure 2 can also be used for medical beauty or electromagnetic wave radiation (massage, endogenous heat), etc.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, there are two panel structures 2, and the two panel structures 2 are symmetrically arranged. As an alternative implementation, there may be more panel structures 2, such as four, six, etc.

[0041] It should be noted that the number of worm gear sets corresponds to the number of panel structures 2, and different worm gear sets can be controlled individually, so as to achieve independent rotation between different panel structures 2, further increasing practicality.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, further, it also includes a connecting rod 4, one end of which is connected to the main body 1, and the other end is slidably connected to the panel structure 2. During actual use, the flip panel will flip with the position where the connecting rod 4 is connected to the main body 1 as the flip center. Therefore, by changing the connection position of the connecting rod 4 and the main body 1, the flip center of the panel structure 2 can be changed, thereby realizing the flipping of the flip panel at different angles to meet the panel rotation requirements of different needs.

[0043] It should be noted that Figure 3 The middle panel structure 2 is in two states, one is an open state with a certain angle to the main body 1 , and the other is a closed state parallel to the main body 1 .

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of connecting rods 4 is set corresponding to the number of panel structures 2.

[0045] It should be noted that, if the connecting rod 4 is not provided, the flipping center of the two panel structures 2 is located at the hinged position of the panel structure 2 and the main body 1.Figure 1 As described above, the flipping center of the panel structure 2 is located at the end of the panel structure 2. As an alternative embodiment, the hinged position of the panel structure 2 and the main body 1 can be located at any position of the main body 1, and by changing the hinged position of the panel structure 2 and the main body 1, the flipping center of the panel structure 2 can be adjusted at any position on the main body 1.

[0046] It should be noted that a connecting rod 4 is further provided so that the flipping center of the panel structure 2 is not only located on the main body 1, but also the flipping center of the panel structure 2 can be located outside the main body 1. And by changing the connection position of the connecting rod 4 and the main body 1 and the connection position with the panel structure 2, the range of the flipping center is further expanded. As an alternative embodiment, the number of the connecting rods 4 can be further increased, that is, two connecting rods 4 can be provided on each panel structure 2, and the two connecting rods 4 form a hyperbolic rod structure, or the number of the connecting rods 4 is three or more. By increasing the number of the connecting rods 4, the range of the flipping center of the flipping panel can be further increased.

[0047] Further, the panel structure 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 1 through a hinge. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the hinged connection is made by means of a hinge, and other common hinged connection methods can also be used.

[0048] Further, the worm and worm gear set includes a worm 5 and a worm gear 6, wherein the worm 5 is fixed on the main body 1, and the worm gear 6 is in transmission connection with the worm 5.

[0049] Further, the worm and worm gear set further includes a driving structure 7, the output end of the driving structure 7 is connected to the worm 5, and the driving structure 7 is adapted to drive the worm 5 to rotate. It should be noted that in this solution, the driving structure 7 includes a stepping motor. As an alternative embodiment, the stepping motor can be changed to components such as a rotary pump and an AC motor.

[0050] As Figure 2 shown, further, the worm and worm gear set further includes a dust cover 8, which is disposed above the worm gear 6. By providing the dust cover 8, dust and other sundries can be prevented from entering the worm gear 6, thereby affecting the transmission between the worm gear 6 and the worm 5.

[0051] Further, the worm and worm gear set is connected to the panel structure 2 through a connecting line. In this solution, the material of the connecting line is stainless steel. As an alternative embodiment, the material of the connecting line can be changed to high-strength nylon wire, etc.

[0052] Further, a fixed shaft 9 is further included, the fixed shaft 9 is fixed on the main body 1, the connecting line is adapted to be connected to the fixed shaft 9, and the fixed shaft 9 is adapted to change the transmission direction of the connecting line. It should be noted that the wear of the connecting line can be effectively reduced by the fixed shaft 9.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the creation of the present utility model.
