[0065] The utility model creatively provides an air duct mechanism, including a volute and a volute cover, wherein the volute and the volute cover are buckled together to form a centrifugal fan chamber, wherein the centrifugal fan chamber includes a first fan chamber peripheral wall, a fan chamber air outlet, and a second fan chamber peripheral wall which are sequentially arranged; a fixed volute tongue is provided between the first fan chamber peripheral wall and the fan chamber air outlet; the air duct mechanism also includes a sliding volute tongue slidably provided between the volute and the volute cover, and the sliding volute tongue forms a volute tongue sliding portion; a slide rail is provided between the volute and the volute cover, and the slide rail is used to cooperate with the volute tongue sliding portion and guide the sliding volute tongue to slide;

[0066] When the volute tongue sliding portion is at one end of the slide rail, the sliding volute tongue can open the air outlet of the fan blade cavity, a part of the sliding volute tongue is located radially outside the fixed volute tongue, the first fan blade cavity peripheral wall, the fixed volute tongue and the other part of the sliding volute tongue are arranged in sequence and form a continuous profile; when the volute tongue sliding portion is at the other end of the slide rail, the sliding volute tongue can close the air outlet of the fan blade cavity, the first fan blade cavity peripheral wall, the fixed volute tongue, the sliding volute tongue and the second fan blade cavity peripheral wall are arranged in sequence and form a continuous profile; the air flow resistance in the centrifugal fan blade cavity is small, which reduces the loss of air supply volume.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an air duct mechanism, including a volute assembly 1, the volute assembly 1 includes a volute 11 and a volute cover 12, the volute 11 and the volute cover 12 are buckled together to form a centrifugal fan cavity 13, and a rotatable centrifugal fan 16 is provided in the centrifugal fan cavity 13; the centrifugal fan cavity 13 includes a first fan cavity peripheral wall 131, a fan cavity air outlet 133 and a second fan cavity peripheral wall 132 sequentially arranged along the circumference of the centrifugal fan cavity 13; the first fan cavity peripheral wall 131 and the fan cavity air outlet 133 are connected to the centrifugal fan cavity 13. A box installation position 134 is provided between the first and second blade chambers 133, and a fixed volute tongue 213 is provided at the box installation position 134; the fixed volute tongue 213, the first blade chamber peripheral wall 131, and the second blade chamber peripheral wall 132 have the same profile structure; specifically, the first blade chamber peripheral wall 131 and the second blade chamber peripheral wall 132 constitute the main structure of the centrifugal blade chamber 13; the fixed volute tongue 213 can be formed independently, or the fixed volute tongue 213 and the volute 11 can be formed as a whole, or the fixed volute tongue 213 and the volute cover 12 can be formed as a whole;

[0068] The air duct mechanism further includes a sliding volute tongue 3, which is slidably disposed between the volute 11 and the volute cover 12. The sliding volute tongue 3 has a first working position and a second working position. The sliding volute tongue 3 is used to open and close the air outlet 133 of the fan blade cavity. The sliding volute tongue 3 is formed with a volute tongue sliding portion.

[0069] A slide rail is provided between the volute 11 and the volute cover 12. The slide rail is used to cooperate with the volute tongue sliding portion and can guide the sliding volute tongue 3 to slide between the directions of opening and closing the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber. That is, the slide rail cooperates with the volute tongue sliding portion to guide and limit the sliding volute tongue 3. The sliding volute tongue 3 can slide along the slide rail to open or close the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber. The slide rail is a variable-pitch slide rail. From one end of the slide rail to the other end, the distance between the point on the center line of the slide rail and the axis of the centrifugal fan chamber 13 first increases and then decreases.

[0070] When the sliding volute tongue 3 is in the first working position, the volute tongue sliding portion is at one end of the slide rail, and the sliding volute tongue 3 can open the fan blade chamber air outlet 133. A portion of the sliding volute tongue 3 is located radially outside the fixed volute tongue 213. The first fan blade chamber peripheral wall 131, the fixed volute tongue 213 and the other portion of the sliding volute tongue 3 are sequentially arranged and form a continuous profile. The first fan blade chamber peripheral wall 131, the fixed volute tongue 213 and the other portion of the sliding volute tongue 3 transition smoothly in sequence. The air in the centrifugal fan blade chamber 13 can be discharged through the fan blade chamber air outlet 133. The sliding volute tongue 3 has little resistance to the air, thereby ensuring the air supply volume.

[0071] When the sliding volute tongue 3 is in the second working position, the volute tongue sliding portion is at the other end of the slide rail, and the sliding volute tongue 3 can close the air outlet 133 of the fan blade chamber. The first fan blade chamber peripheral wall 131, the fixed volute tongue 213, the sliding volute tongue 3 and the second fan blade chamber peripheral wall 132 are arranged in sequence and form a continuous profile line. The first fan blade chamber peripheral wall 131, the fixed volute tongue 213, the sliding volute tongue 3 and the second fan blade chamber peripheral wall 132 are smoothly transitioned in sequence without any gaps. The sliding volute tongue 3 seals the air outlet 133 of the fan blade chamber tightly, and the air in the centrifugal fan blade chamber 13 can flow smoothly through the sliding volute tongue 3 without generating eddy currents, thereby avoiding air leakage and reducing air supply loss.

[0072] When the volute tongue sliding portion is between one end and the other end of the slide rail, the sliding volute tongue 3 and the fixed volute tongue 213 do not contact and maintain a safe distance, thereby preventing the sliding volute tongue 3 and the fixed volute tongue 213 from colliding or scratching each other; the sliding volute tongue 3 can smoothly switch between the first working position and the second working position, and there is no interference between the sliding volute tongue 3 and other components except the slide rail, thereby ensuring the movement reliability of the sliding volute tongue 3;

[0073] The problem that the sliding volute tongue 3 needs to maintain a small gap with the first and second fan blade cavity peripheral walls 131 and 132 to prevent air leakage and the sliding volute tongue 3 needs to ensure a safe movement gap with other parts to avoid scratching is solved.

[0074] According to actual needs, the flow area of ​​the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber can also be adjusted by sliding the volute tongue 3 to achieve the optimal air supply volume, that is, the sliding of the volute tongue 3 is controlled so that when the relative positions of the sliding volute tongue 3 and the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber are different, the flow area of ​​the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber is different.

[0075] Furthermore, the slide rail has a segmented structure, and includes a first slide rail segment 251, a second slide rail segment 252, and a third slide rail segment 253, which are sequentially arranged and connected around the axis of the centrifugal fan chamber 13. The first slide rail segment 251 and the third slide rail segment 253 are both located radially inward of the second slide rail segment 252, and the first slide rail segment 251 and the third slide rail segment 253 extend in a direction away from each other.

[0076] When the volute tongue sliding portion is at the end of the first slide rail section 251 away from the second slide rail section 252, the blade chamber air outlet 133 is in an open state; the first blade chamber peripheral wall 131, the fixed volute tongue 213 and the other part of the sliding volute tongue 3 are arranged in sequence and form a continuous profile, thereby reducing the resistance of the sliding volute tongue 3;

[0077] When the volute tongue sliding portion is at the end of the third slide rail section 253 away from the second slide rail section 252, the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber is in a closed state; the sliding volute tongue 3 seals the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber tightly, reducing the loss of air supply volume;

[0078] When the volute tongue sliding portion is in the second slide rail section 252 , the sliding volute tongue 3 and the fixed volute tongue 213 do not contact each other, thereby preventing the sliding volute tongue 3 and the fixed volute tongue 213 from colliding.

[0079] Preferably, the first rail section 251 and the third rail section 253 are both linear structures, and are both inclined in a direction away from each other; the second rail section 252 is an arc-shaped structure, and the second rail section 252, the first blade cavity peripheral wall 131, and the second blade cavity peripheral wall 132 have the same profile structure; so that the volute tongue sliding portion can slide stably along the first rail section 251 and the third rail section 253, and when the volute tongue sliding portion is in the second rail section 252, the sliding volute tongue 3 has little resistance to the flow of air;

[0080] The first slide rail segment 251 , the second slide rail segment 252 and the third slide rail segment 253 have the same width.

[0081] Furthermore, the slide rails include an A slide rail 241, a B slide rail 242, a C slide rail 243, and a D slide rail 136, which are sequentially arranged around the air outlet 133 of the blade chamber. The A slide rail 241 and the D slide rail 136 are spaced apart and arranged on a side close to the volute 11, and the B slide rail 242 and the C slide rail 243 are spaced apart and arranged on a side close to the volute cover 12.

[0082] There are four volute tongue sliding parts, namely sliding part a, sliding part b 311, sliding part c 312 and sliding part d. Sliding part a and sliding part d are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fan chamber 13 on the side of the sliding volute tongue 3 close to the volute 11, and sliding part b 311 and sliding part c 312 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fan chamber 13 on the side of the sliding volute tongue 3 close to the volute cover 12.

[0083] The a sliding portion cooperates with the A slide rail 241, the b sliding portion 311 cooperates with the B slide rail 242, the c sliding portion 312 cooperates with the C slide rail 243, and the d sliding portion cooperates with the D slide rail 136; so that the sliding volute tongue 3 can slide stably along the four slide rails and the sliding volute tongue 3 closes the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber tightly;

[0084] Preferably, the A slide rail 241, the B slide rail 242, the C slide rail 243 and the D slide rail 136 are all groove structures, that is, they are all slide grooves; the a sliding part, the b sliding part 311, the c sliding part 312 and the d sliding part are all shaft structures, that is, they are all sliding shafts.

[0086] Preferably, α=45°;

[0087] If α is too large, the horizontal resistance of the sliding volute tongue 3 will be too large when it moves toward the end close to the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber, increasing the load on the drive motor 6; if α is too small, the movement gap H between the end of the sliding volute tongue 3 close to the air outlet 133 of the fan chamber and the fixed volute tongue 213 will be less than the safe distance, the stroke will be too long, and the chance of scratching will increase.

[0088] The snail tongue sliding part cooperates with the corresponding slide rail as follows:

[0089] When the sliding volute tongue 3 fully opens the air outlet 133 of the blade chamber, the sliding portion a cooperates with the first slide rail section 251 of the slide rail A 241 , the sliding portion b cooperates with the first slide rail section 251 of the slide rail B 242 , the sliding portion c 312 cooperates with the first slide rail section 251 of the slide rail C 243 , and the sliding portion d cooperates with the first slide rail section 251 of the slide rail D 136 ;

[0091] When the sliding volute tongue 3 closes the air outlet 133 of the blade chamber, the sliding portion a cooperates with the third slide rail segment 253 of the slide rail A 241, the sliding portion b cooperates with the third slide rail segment 253 of the slide rail B 242, the sliding portion c 312 cooperates with the third slide rail segment 253 of the slide rail C 243, and the sliding portion d cooperates with the third slide rail segment 253 of the slide rail D 136. The third slide rail segment 253 of the slide rail D 136 tilts upward, and the movement gap H between the sliding volute tongue 3 and the first box opening 211 gradually decreases during the rightward movement, reaching a minimum when in place.

[0097] Only the D slide rail 136 is formed on the fan blade chamber shaft wall 135, and the A slide rail 241, the B slide rail 242 and the C slide rail 243 are all formed on the side wall of the accommodating box 2, which simplifies the structure of the volute 11 and the volute cover 12; the size of the four slide rails can be adjusted according to actual needs; the fixed volute tongue 213 and the sliding volute tongue 3 cooperate to form a continuous profile to reduce air flow resistance.

[0098] Specifically, when the sliding volute 3 switches from the first working position to the second working position, the a sliding part enters the second slide rail section 252 of the A slide rail 241 from the first slide rail section 251 of the A slide rail 241 and moves downward, the b sliding part 311 enters the second slide rail section 252 of the B slide rail 242 from the first slide rail section 251 of the B slide rail 242 and moves downward, the c sliding part 312 enters the second slide rail section 252 of the C slide rail 243 from the first slide rail section 251 of the C slide rail 243 and moves horizontally to the right, and the d sliding part enters the second slide rail section 252 of the D slide rail 136 from the first slide rail section 251 of the D slide rail 136 and moves horizontally to the right; the movement gap H between the sliding volute tongue 3 and the accommodating box 2 increases at a faster speed during the movement of the sliding volute tongue 3 to avoid the sliding volute tongue 3 and the accommodating box 2 from scratching; the movement gap H gradually increases during the movement of the sliding volute tongue 3, so when the sliding volute tongue 3 switches from the second working state to the first working state, the sliding volute tongue 3 The gap between the tongue 3 and the receiving box 2 is minimal and can be designed to be within 1 mm to avoid air leakage; a flexible material can be provided at the fitting point between the sliding volute tongue 3 and the receiving box 2 to improve the sealing effect; the sliding volute tongue 3 continues to move to the right, and the sliding part a and the sliding part b 311 move obliquely downward.

[0099] Furthermore, the storage box 2 includes a storage box body 21 and a storage cover 22.

[0103] The air duct mechanism also includes a transmission assembly 4, which includes a gear 42, a rack 41, and a connecting rod 43.

[0109] The shaft sleeve 52 is designed with support points in each force direction, so that a single shaft sleeve 52 can play a multi-directional support role, thereby reducing the number of shaft sleeves 52 used; the wall surface of the sliding rail formed by the sliding tongue 3 maintains point contact with the supporting curved surface 523 during the movement of the sliding tongue 3. Compared with surface contact, point contact can greatly reduce the friction between the wall surface of the sliding rail formed by the sliding tongue 3 and the supporting curved surface 523 during the movement of the sliding tongue 3, thereby reducing the movement load of the sliding tongue 3; it solves the problem that the existing shaft sleeve can only achieve single-directional support, resulting in the need to use many support parts.

At the same time, the spherical design can reduce the friction force suffered by the sliding volute 3 during movement, thereby reducing the movement load of the sliding volute 3.
