[0036] The utility model will be explained in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. The utility model is not limited to the embodiment, and other embodiments can also belong to the scope of the utility model as long as they meet the main idea of the utility model.
[0037] For the preferred embodiment of the utility model, based on the above problems existing in the prior art, a three-phase stepping motor based air conditioner rotary actuator is provided, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 , which comprises:
[0038] The main gear 1 is connected with the shaft of the air conditioner outlet grille through the shaft end 11 of the main gear 1.
[0039] The three-phase stepping motor 3 is drivingly connected with the main gear 1 and drives the main gear 1 to rotate to drive the air conditioner outlet grille to rotate.
[0040] The shell 5 is connected with the main gear 1 and the three-phase stepping motor 3.
[0041] Further, the inner wall of the shell 5 in the embodiment is provided with a positioning groove 51 corresponding to the two ends of the three-phase stepping motor 3.
[0042] The two ends of the three-phase stepping motor 3 are provided with a buffer structure, and the buffer structure is installed in the positioning groove 51.
[0043] The buffering structure in a preferred embodiment includes: the top of the three-phase stepper motor 3 is provided with a top limiting piece 31, the bottom of the three-phase stepper motor 3 is provided with a bottom limiting piece 32, and a rubber pad 33 is sleeved on the top limiting piece and the bottom limiting piece, and each rubber pad 33 is correspondingly fixed in a positioning groove 51.
[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the three-phase stepper motor 3 is fixed in the housing 5 of the actuator by the top limiting piece 31 and the bottom limiting piece 32 at both ends of the motor and the positioning groove 51 provided on the inner wall of the housing 5, and the rubber pads 33 sleeved on the top limiting piece 31 and the bottom limiting piece 32 can form a buffer layer between the two limiting pieces and the positioning groove 51 to reduce the vibration of the three-phase stepper motor 3 during operation, improve the working stability and transmission accuracy of the actuator, and also reduce noise.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the rubber pad 33 sleeved on the bottom limiting piece 32 is oval, and the rubber pad 33 sleeved on the top limiting piece 31 is circular.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rubber pad 33 sleeved on the bottom limiting piece 32 is designed as an oval, while the rubber pad 33 sleeved on the top limiting piece 31 remains circular. This asymmetric design brings many benefits:
[0047] Enhanced adaptability and stability: Oval rubber pads 33 have a larger contact area and more flexible deformation ability in the horizontal direction (i.e., perpendicular to the motor axis) compared to circular ones. This helps better adapt to non-uniform stress conditions that may occur at the bottom of the motor due to manufacturing tolerances, installation errors, or slight displacements during operation, providing more stable support and buffering effects. Circular rubber pads continue to provide uniform and reliable buffering at the top, combining both to ensure stability in the vertical direction and enhance adaptability in the horizontal direction.
[0048] Optimized vibration absorption: Different shapes of rubber pads will produce different deformation modes when subjected to vibration. Oval rubber pads can more effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy in multiple directions, especially lateral vibrations that may occur during motor operation, which helps further reduce noise and vibration transmission to the housing and the surrounding environment. Circular rubber pads mainly absorb vertical vibrations, and the two work together to achieve more comprehensive vibration control.
[0049] Improved durability and maintainability: The oval design of the rubber pads disperses stress, reducing the risk of single-point wear and extending the life of the buffering structure. At the same time, this design also facilitates the identification of buffering needs in different parts during installation and maintenance, making it easier to check and replace worn-out rubber pads, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The circumferential direction of the three-phase stepping motor 3 is provided with a power supply control end 34, which is electrically connected with the PCB board 35.
[0051] A signal connector 36 is also provided, which is electrically connected with the PCB board 35, and the connector port of the connector 36 extends outward from the shell 5 to connect the control terminal.
[0052] The circumferential direction of the motor is also provided with a grounding end 37, which is electrically connected with the PCB board 35 through the FCB board 38.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control terminal (such as the automobile control system) sends a LIN signal to the PCB board 35 through the signal connector 36 to control the start, stop, speed regulation and steering adjustment of the three-phase stepping motor 3, thereby increasing the diversity of control of the air conditioner air outlet grille.
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the three-phase stepping motor 3 is used, which has the advantages of small running noise and small high-frequency torque attenuation.
[0055] In a preferred embodiment, there is a gap between the three-phase stepping motor 3 and the shell 5.
[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the existence of the gap avoids the direct contact between the three-phase stepping motor 3 and the shell 5, thereby reducing the wear caused by friction. This not only helps to prolong the service life of the motor, but also reduces the noise and vibration caused by wear.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the shell 5 includes an upper shell 52 and a lower shell 53.
[0058] The circumferential side of the upper shell 52 is provided with a plurality of elastic cards 521, and the circumferential side of the lower shell 53 is provided with a plurality of card slots 531, each elastic card 521 is clamped in a card slot 531 to connect and fix the upper shell 52 and the lower shell 53.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, the upper shell 52 and the lower shell 53 can also be detachably connected in other ways.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the upper shell 52 is provided with an orifice 522, and the shaft end 11 of the main gear 1 is rotatably matched with the orifice 522.
[0062] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , the main gear 1 is formed with an axial end 11, the axial end 11 is rotationally matched with the hole 522, and the end face of the axial end 11 is a plum blossom groove 2, and the shaft of the air conditioner air outlet grille is inserted into the plum blossom groove 2.
[0063] Specifically, in the embodiment, the plum blossom groove 2 is designed to enable the force to be uniformly transmitted at a certain angle (such as 15°) into the groove, so that the fastening torque can be more effectively transmitted. Compared with other groove types (such as an inner hexagonal groove), the torque force is more directly transmitted and the loss is smaller.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the three-phase stepping motor 3 is drivingly connected with the main gear 1 through a transmission structure 4, and the transmission structure 4 comprises:
[0065] a worm 41 sleeved on the rotating shaft of the motor 1;
[0066] at least one secondary gear, a large gear of the secondary gear is engaged with the worm 41, and a small gear of the secondary gear is engaged with the main gear 1.
