Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of damper linkage technology, and in particular to a structure for an automotive air conditioning damper linkage. Background Technology
[0002] The choke link is a key component of the engine intake system, and its technology integrates the latest advancements in precision manufacturing and materials science. The choke link is responsible for regulating the amount of air entering the engine, adjusting airflow by precisely controlling the opening degree of the choke, and then mixing it with fuel to form a combustible mixture. In this process, the angle of the link directly affects the engine's combustion efficiency and power output. With the automotive industry's pursuit of energy conservation, emission reduction, and high efficiency, the design of choke links is developing towards lightweighting, high precision, and intelligence. High-strength, lightweight materials, such as titanium alloys or metal matrix composites, are used to reduce the link's weight and friction losses. Simultaneously, advanced manufacturing processes, such as 3D printing technology, optimize the link structure and improve performance. Furthermore, the application of intelligent technologies, such as the introduction of sensors and adaptive control systems, can monitor and adjust the link's operating status in real time, further improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the engine.
[0003] Patent document CN204460630U discloses an assembly structure for a car air conditioning vent damper linkage, including a wheel, a crank, and a damper linkage movably connected at both ends to the wheel and crank. The key feature is that a first connecting hole is formed on one side of the wheel, and a second connecting hole is formed on the crank. Correspondingly, spherical first and second connecting heads, adapted to the first and second connecting holes, are formed at both ends of the linkage. Furthermore, at least one of the first and second connecting heads has a limiting post protruding perpendicular to the length direction of the damper linkage. Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: the limiting post restricts the multi-directional rotation of the connecting head, greatly enhancing the overall structural strength and preventing the damper linkage from dislodging under stress. It is also simple to manufacture and has significant effects.
[0004] In the prior art of the aforementioned patent, the damper connecting rod is limited by a limiting post to prevent it from falling off. However, in actual use, since there are limiting measures at both ends, when the damper vibrates at a high frequency or the connecting rod is subjected to a large load, the connecting rod is a rigid structure and is usually made of hard plastic. Therefore, it is easy for it to break if it is subjected to axial force. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

A connecting block 101 is provided at one end of the first connecting rod 1, and a buffer assembly is provided between the first connecting rod 1 and the connecting block 101. Connecting assemblies are provided on both the connecting block 101 and the second connecting rod 3. The connecting block 101 and the second connecting rod 3 are connected to the rotating disk 7 and the crankshaft 8 respectively through the connecting assemblies. The rotating crankshaft 8 drives the rotating disk 7 to rotate through the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 3. The rotation of the rotating disk 7 controls the damper. During operation, the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 3 not only rotate with the first connecting shaft 4 and the second connecting shaft 5, but may also experience axial offset. To prevent the first connecting rod 1 from detaching from or breaking from the rotating disk 7 during axial offset, the first connecting rod 1 and the connecting piece 14 rotate with the connecting block 101 under the action of the rotating shaft 11, thereby buffering the axial offset.
[0024] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the buffer assembly includes an elastic rotating assembly disposed on the connecting block 101. The elastic rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 11. A connecting piece 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the first connecting rod 1, and the connecting piece 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 11. In order to prevent the first connecting rod 1 from falling off or breaking from the rotating disk 7, the first connecting rod 1 and the connecting piece 14 rotate with the connecting block 101 under the action of the rotating shaft 11, thereby realizing the buffering of axial displacement.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic rotation assembly further includes two sleeves 12, which are fixedly mounted on the connecting block 101.

Under the action of the torsion spring 15, the first connecting rod 1 and the connecting block 101 can be prevented from rotating arbitrarily, thereby improving the stability of the first connecting rod 1.
[0026] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, limiting plates 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting block 101. The limiting plates 13 are arranged on both sides of the first connecting rod 1. The limiting plates 13 on both sides limit the offset of the first connecting rod 1, preventing large offset between the first connecting rod 1 and the connecting block 101, thereby affecting the normal operation of the connecting rod.
[0027] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, a rubber connecting strip 2 is fixedly connected between the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 3; the rubber connecting strip 2 has a certain elasticity, which can buffer the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 3 and prevent the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 3 from breaking.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting shaft 4 and a second connecting shaft 5. The first connecting shaft 4 and the second connecting shaft 5 are respectively fixedly mounted on the rotating disk 7 and the second connecting rod 3. The first connecting shaft 4 and the second connecting shaft 5 are respectively provided with a smooth surface 9 and a threaded surface 10. The connecting block 101 is sleeved on the smooth surface 9 of the first connecting shaft 4 and rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 4. The crankshaft 8 is sleeved on the smooth surface 9 of the second connecting shaft 5 and rotatably connected to the second connecting shaft 5. The threaded surfaces 10 of the first connecting shaft 4 and the second connecting shaft 5 are each provided with a fixing nut 6. The smooth surface 9 on the connecting shaft is used to realize the rotation of the connecting block 101 and the second connecting rod 3, and the threaded surface 10 is used to install the fixing nut 6.
