[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a foldable variable diameter fabric duct, comprising a housing 1, an adjusting block 2 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a rotating rod 3 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the adjusting block 2, a slider 4 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 3, a sliding strip 5 slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider 4, the outer wall of the sliding strip 5 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a clamping block 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 4, the outer wall of the clamping block 6 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a ratchet 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting block 2, a pawl 8 meshing with the teeth of the ratchet 7, a hollow column 9 slidably connected to the outer wall of the pawl 8, the outer wall of the hollow column 9 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the outer wall of the hollow column 9 being slidably connected to... On the outer wall of the adjusting block 2, a spring 10 is provided on the inner wall of the hollow column 9. The outer wall of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pawl 8. A pull rod 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pawl 8. The outer wall of the pull rod 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 9. A fixing component is provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The fixing component includes a locking post 14. The outer wall of the locking post 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A fixing plate 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the locking post 14. A telescopic ring 12 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the clamping block 6. A fabric duct body 13 is provided on the outer wall of the telescopic ring 12. A fixing ring 16 is provided on the outer wall of the fabric duct body 13. The outer wall of the fixing ring 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the outer shell 1.

[0026] Specifically, rotating the adjusting block 2 on the inner wall of the outer casing 1 causes the adjusting block 2 to push the rotating rod 3 to rotate, which in turn pushes the slider 4 to slide on the inner wall of the slide bar 5. The slide bar 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer casing 1, achieving a stable sliding effect. By installing the telescopic ring 12 into the clamping block 6, the clamping block 6 pushes the telescopic ring 12 to extend or retract, allowing the telescopic ring 12 to drive the fabric duct body 13 to achieve a stable adjustment of its inner diameter. The adjusting block 2 drives the ratchet 7 to rotate on the toothed end of the pawl 8, and the pawl 8 slides on the inner wall of the hollow column 9, achieving a self-locking effect. Pulling the lever 11 causes the pawl 8 to slide away from the ratchet 7. At the same time, the pawl 8 compresses the spring 10. When the lever 11 is released, the spring 10 pushes the pawl 8 to reset and re-lock the ratchet 7, achieving a quick reset effect. When the fixing ring 16 is installed inside the housing 1, the fixing ring 16 can fold the fabric duct body 13, and at the same time, the fixing piece 15 locks the locking post 14, achieving a quick retraction of the fabric duct body 13. The adjustable block 2 can precisely adjust the inner diameter of the fabric duct, achieving a stable seal and preventing noise increase.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4A sliding column 17 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed ring 16. A hollow block 18 is detachably installed on the outer wall of the sliding column 17. An installation block 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow block 18. A sliding rod 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation block 19. The outer wall of the sliding rod 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow block 18. A second spring 21 is provided on the inner wall of the hollow block 18. The right outer wall of the second spring 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation block 19. A rack 22 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the installation block 19. The outer wall of the rack 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow block 18.

[0028] Specifically, by installing the hollow block 18 onto the sliding column 17, and the sliding column 17 sliding on the outer wall of the fixing ring 16, the angle of the fabric duct body 13 can be adjusted. As the fixing ring 16 pushes the rack 22 to slide, it also pushes the mounting block 19 to slide synchronously on the inner wall of the hollow block 18, which can prevent it from falling off. The mounting block 19 pushes the sliding rod 20 to slide on the inner wall of the hollow block 18, and at the same time, the mounting block 19 will compress the spring 21. When the sliding rod 20 slides to the appropriate position, rotating the sliding rod 20 will cause the mounting block 19 to lock the hollow block 18, which can achieve a self-locking effect.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 The hollow block 18 is connected to a sector gear 23 by meshing at its toothed end. A connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sector gear 23. A fixing post 25 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 24. The outer wall of the fixing post 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow block 18. A support block 26 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 24. A connecting rod 27 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support block 26. The outer wall of the connecting rod 27 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hollow block 18. The outer wall of the support block 26 is detachably installed on the outer wall of the fixing ring 16.

[0030] Specifically, the rack 22 drives the sector gear 23 to rotate, causing the sector gear 23 to drive the connecting rod 24 to rotate on the outer wall of the fixed column 25. The fixed column 25 is fixed on the inner wall of the hollow block 18, which can prevent the connecting rod 24 from falling off. The connecting rod 24 drives the support block 26 to rotate, so that the support block 26 clamps the fixing ring 16 in the center, which can achieve the effect of quick installation. The support block 26 drives the connecting rod 27 to rotate on the inner wall of the hollow block 18, which can prevent the support block 26 from falling off. The support block 26 can achieve the effect of quick retraction of the folded fabric duct and can adjust the angle of the fabric duct to achieve the effect of precise guidance and transmission.

[0031] Working principle: When the fabric duct is needed, the telescopic ring 12 connected to the fabric duct body 13 is installed into the clamping block 6. Then, the adjusting block 2 is pushed to rotate the rotating rod 3. The rotating rod 3 pushes the slider 4 to slide against the inner wall of the slide bar 5, which can prevent the slider 4 from falling off. The slider 4 pushes the clamping block 6 to slide, which can adjust the inner diameter of the telescopic ring 12. At the same time, the rotation of the adjusting block 2 will drive the ratchet 7 to rotate synchronously, so that the ratchet 7 rotates at the tooth end of the pawl 8, which can achieve a self-locking effect. Pulling the lever 11 causes the pawl 8 to slide against the inner wall of the hollow column 9. When the lever 11 is released, the spring 10 pushes the pawl 8 back to its original position, achieving a quick release of the self-locking mechanism. By installing the retaining ring 16 inside the outer casing 1 and having the retaining plate 15 lock the retaining post 14, the fabric duct body 13 can be quickly retracted. When the angle needs to be adjusted, the hollow block 18 is installed inside the sliding post 17. By sliding the sliding post 17 to the appropriate position, the support block 26 is aligned and clamps the retaining ring 16, thus achieving the desired effect. This design allows for rapid angle adjustment. The fixed ring 16 pushes the rack 22 to slide, causing the rack 22 to slide the slide rod 20 fixed to the inner wall of the mounting block 19, preventing it from falling off. Rotating the mounting block 19 to lock it into the hollow block 18 achieves a self-locking effect. The spring 21 pushes the mounting block 19, enabling rapid reset. The rack 22 drives the sector gear 23 to rotate, causing the sector gear 23 to rotate the connecting rod 24 on the outer wall of the fixed column 25, which is fixed to the inner wall of the hollow block 18, ensuring stable rotation. The connecting rod 24 pushes the support block 26 to clamp the fixed ring 16, causing the support block 26 to rotate the connecting rod 27 on the inner wall of the hollow block 18, preventing it from falling off. This fabric duct not only allows for precise adjustment of the inner diameter of the fabric duct, achieving stable sealing and preventing noise increase, but also enables rapid retraction and folding of the fabric duct, and allows for adjustment of the angle of the fabric duct, achieving precise guiding and transmission.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
