The first locking protrusions 113 and the first partitions 112 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first locking protrusions 113 are located on the outer side of the corresponding first partitions 112, so that the first locking protrusions 113 are located at the connection point of two adjacent gear spaces.

[0055] In this embodiment, a plurality of first locking protrusions 113 are provided on the peripheral wall of the mounting groove 111, and the first locking protrusions 113 are corresponding one-to-one with the first partition 112. When the mounting cover 410 is placed over the opening of the mounting groove 111, the mounting cover 410 is placed at the opening of the mounting groove 111 and pressed towards the mounting groove 111, so that the first partition 112 contacts the inner surface of the mounting cover 410, and the first locking protrusions 113 engage with the outer surface of the mounting cover 410. The first locking protrusions 113 and the first partition 112 are corresponding one-to-one to prevent the first locking protrusions 113 from being in other positions and affecting the installation space, and to avoid the first locking protrusions 113 affecting the installation of the gear set 30. Furthermore, the mounting cover 410 is installed through the first partition 112 and the first locking protrusions 113. The snap-fit ​​method is convenient for installing and removing the mounting cover 410, without the need for additional tools, making it easy to install and remove the mounting cover 410. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure is simple, has low manufacturing cost, and high production efficiency, thereby reducing the production cost of the air guide plate drive assembly 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, at least one positioning groove 114 is provided on the peripheral wall of the mounting groove 111, and the positioning groove 114 extends in a direction parallel to the axis of the gear. A positioning plate 420 is provided on the mounting cover 410 to cooperate with the positioning groove 114, and the positioning plate 420 is inserted into the positioning groove 114.

[0057] In this embodiment, a positioning groove 114 is provided on the peripheral wall of the mounting groove 111, and a positioning plate 420 is provided on the mounting cover 410, with the positioning plate 420 inserted into the positioning groove 114. Through the positioning effect of the positioning plate 420 and the positioning groove 114, the structure of the air guide vane drive assembly 100 is made more robust, improving the structural stability of the air guide vane drive assembly 100. Furthermore, when assembling the mounting base 10 and the mounting cover 410, the positioning plate 420 is placed correspondingly to the positioning groove 114, facilitating the installation of the mounting cover 410 and preventing wasted time due to incorrect installation orientation of the mounting plate 131 and the mounting groove 111, thereby saving installation time for the mounting cover 410 and consequently saving installation time for the air guide vane drive assembly 100, improving the installation efficiency of the air guide vane drive assembly 100.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a second partition 115 and a second locking protrusion 116 are provided on the groove wall of the positioning groove 114. The second partition 115 is parallel to the axis of the gear. The mounting cover 410 is snapped into the inner side of the second locking protrusion 116, and the mounting cover 410 is located on the outer side of the second partition 115.

[0059] In this embodiment, a second partition 115 and a second locking protrusion 116 are provided on the groove wall of the positioning groove 114. The mounting cover 410 is placed over the opening of the mounting groove 111. At this time, the positioning plate 420 is inserted into the positioning groove 114, the second partition 115 contacts the inner surface of the positioning plate 420, and the second locking protrusion 116 contacts the outer surface of the positioning plate 420. The positioning plate 420 is clamped in the middle by the second partition 115 and the second locking protrusion 116, thereby fixing the positioning plate 420 and preventing the positioning plate 420 from bending and affecting the rotation of the gear set 30 or failing to be inserted into the positioning groove 114 for positioning. This also prevents the opening at the positioning groove 114 from being unable to be sealed, which could lead to external dust or other impurities entering the mounting groove 111 and affecting the operation of the gear set 30, thus ensuring the stability of the air guide plate drive assembly 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, both the mounting base 10 and the mounting cover 410 are provided with rotating holes 60 that mate with each gear.
