Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric locomotive technology, specifically to a multi-angle air outlet adjustment mechanism for an electric locomotive air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Electric locomotive air conditioning is an air conditioning system specifically designed for electric locomotives. Driven by electricity, it can precisely regulate the temperature, humidity, and air cleanliness inside the locomotive, creating a comfortable and pleasant working environment for the crew. Especially under external conditions of high temperature, severe cold, or poor air quality, it effectively ensures the freshness and suitability of the air inside the locomotive, improving the work efficiency and riding experience of the crew.

[0003] Existing electric locomotive air conditioning systems have certain limitations in their air outlet design. They generally lack flexible multi-angle air outlet adjustment functions, and the air outlet direction is relatively fixed and singular, making it difficult to make precise adjustments according to different seasons, weather conditions, and the actual needs of the crew. At the same time, in most cases, the air outlet angle needs to be changed manually, which is not convenient and efficient. This not only increases the workload of the crew, but also makes it difficult to achieve quick and accurate switching of the air outlet angle, thus affecting the comfort of the locomotive's interior environment to some extent.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a multi-angle air outlet adjustment mechanism for electric locomotive air conditioning. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-angle air outlet adjustment mechanism for electric locomotive air conditioning to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-angle air outlet adjustment mechanism for an electric locomotive air conditioner, comprising: an air conditioning box, wherein an air guide frame is fixedly connected to the top of the air conditioning box; and an adjustment mechanism, wherein an adjustment mechanism is installed inside the air conditioning box, the adjustment mechanism comprising a first connecting block, wherein the first connecting block is installed inside the air conditioning box, the bottom end of the adjustment plate is symmetrically fixedly connected to the first connecting block, and a second connecting block is installed between the two first connecting blocks.

[0007] Preferably, the air conditioning unit is symmetrically mounted on one side with mounting rods, one mounting rod has a drive gear fixedly connected to its outer side, and the other mounting rod has a driven gear fixedly connected to its outer side.

[0008] Preferably, the air conditioning unit is symmetrically mounted on one side with mounting rods, one mounting rod has a drive gear fixedly connected to its outer side, and the other mounting rod has a driven gear fixedly connected to its outer side.

[0009] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably installed inside the air conditioning unit, and one end of another mounting rod passes through the interior of the air conditioning unit and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. A partition is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod. Another mounting rod extends into the interior of the air conditioning unit and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The partition fixed to the outside of the rotating rod rotates synchronously with the mounting rod, allowing adjustment of the partition's obstruction range according to the required air outlet angle, thus optimizing the airflow path.

[0010] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism further includes a connecting rod. The connecting rod is fixedly connected inside the second connecting block, and both ends of the connecting rod pass through the interior of the first connecting block and are rotatably connected to it. A meshing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first connecting block. A threaded rod is rotatably installed inside the air conditioning unit, and the outer side of the threaded rod meshes with the interior of the meshing block. A drive motor is installed on the other side of the air conditioning unit, and the output end of the drive motor passes through the interior of the air conditioning unit and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. When the drive motor starts, its output end drives the threaded rod inside the air conditioning unit to rotate. The outer side of the threaded rod meshes with the meshing block fixed at the bottom of the first connecting block. The rotational motion of the threaded rod is converted into the linear motion of the meshing block through meshing transmission. The meshing block drives the first connecting block, the second connecting block, and the connecting rod to move as a whole, thereby driving all adjusting plates to rotate synchronously around the connecting rod, achieving fine adjustment of the air outlet angle inside the air guide box, and accurately controlling the vertical diffusion range of the airflow.

[0011] Preferably, both the rotary motor and the drive motor are electrically controlled and connected by an external power supply.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: In terms of adjustment flexibility and convenience, a dual-angle adjustment system is constructed through the coordinated design of rotating motor, drive motor, gear transmission, and thread meshing structures. This system can achieve a wide range of adjustments to the overall air outlet direction of the air guide box, and can also achieve precise control of the air outlet angle through the synchronous deflection of the adjustment plate. This completely changes the limitation of the fixed and single air outlet direction of traditional electric locomotive air conditioners, and eliminates the need for manual operation. It enables rapid and accurate switching of the air outlet angle, greatly reducing the workload of crew members and adapting to the diverse usage needs under different seasons and weather conditions.

[0013] In terms of improving passenger and work comfort, this system can accurately guide the air conditioning airflow to cover a wider range based on the different physical needs of passengers, the distribution of work areas, and changes in the external environment. This effectively solves the problem of localized overcooling or overheating caused by uneven airflow distribution in traditional air conditioning systems, making the temperature and airflow inside the vehicle more balanced. At the same time, the flexible and adjustable air outlet angle can flexibly avoid the area directly blowing on people, reducing the discomfort caused by direct airflow. This creates a more humane in-vehicle environment for passengers who are working for long periods of time, thereby helping to improve work efficiency and passenger experience.

[0014] In terms of energy saving and operational efficiency, by optimizing the air circulation path and rationally adjusting the air outlet angle and range, the airflow during air conditioning cooling or heating can act more efficiently on the interior space, reducing energy loss. This improves the operating efficiency of the air conditioning while reducing energy consumption, which is in line with the industry trend of energy conservation and consumption reduction. In addition, the combination of the air guide frame fixed at the top of the air conditioning unit with the internal partitions, fixing plates and other structures further optimizes the airflow guidance effect and enhances the air conditioning system's air conditioning capability. Even under external conditions of high temperature, severe cold or poor air quality, it can still ensure that the air inside the locomotive is fresh and suitable, providing more reliable environmental support for the stable operation of electric locomotives.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 A multi-angle air outlet adjustment mechanism for an electric locomotive air conditioner includes: an air conditioning box 1, with an air guide frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the air conditioning box 1; and an adjustment mechanism, wherein an adjustment mechanism is installed inside the air conditioning box 1, the adjustment mechanism including a first connecting block 13, the first connecting block 13 being installed inside the air conditioning box 1, the first connecting block 13 being symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of an adjustment plate 8, and a second connecting block 14 being installed between the two first connecting blocks 13.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3The air conditioning unit 1 is symmetrically mounted on one side with mounting rods 3. One mounting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of a drive gear 4, and the other mounting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of a driven gear 5.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 An air guide box 6 is rotatably installed inside the air conditioning unit 1. One end of the mounting rod 3 passes through the interior of the air conditioning unit 1 and is fixedly connected to one side of the air guide box 6. Fixed plates 7 are equidistantly fixedly connected inside the air guide box 6. Adjusting plates 8 are equidistantly installed inside the air guide box 6. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting plate 8. A rotating motor 10 is installed on the other side of the air conditioning unit 1, and the output end of the rotating motor 10 passes through the interior of the air conditioning unit 1 and is fixedly connected to the air guide box 6. After the rotating motor 10 starts, its output end directly drives the air guide box 6 inside the air conditioning unit 1 to rotate. One side of the air guide box 6 is rotatably connected to the air conditioning unit 1 via the mounting rod 3. The driving gear 4 on the outer side of one mounting rod 3 meshes with the driven gear 5 on the outer side of the other mounting rod 3. When the rotating motor 10 drives the air guide box 6 to rotate, the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 5 mesh synchronously, ensuring that the air guide box 6 rotates around the axis of the mounting rod 3 at a stable and precise angle, thereby changing the overall air outlet direction of the air guide box 6 and achieving a wide range of air outlet adjustment in the horizontal or inclined direction.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 A rotating rod 11 is rotatably mounted inside the air conditioning unit 1. One end of another mounting rod 3 passes through the interior of the air conditioning unit 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11. A partition 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 11. Another mounting rod 3 extends into the interior of the air conditioning unit 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11. The partition 12 fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 11 rotates synchronously with the mounting rod 3. The obstruction range of the partition 12 can be adjusted according to the air outlet angle requirements to optimize the airflow path.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3The adjustment mechanism further includes a connecting rod 15. The connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected inside the second connecting block 14, and both ends of the connecting rod 15 pass through the inside of the first connecting block 13 and are rotatably connected to the first connecting block 13. The bottom of the first connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to a meshing block 16. A threaded rod 17 is rotatably installed inside the air conditioning unit 1. The outer side of the threaded rod 17 is meshed with the inside of the meshing block 16. A drive motor 18 is installed on the other side of the air conditioning unit 1, and the output end of the drive motor 18 passes through the inside of the air conditioning unit 1 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 17. When the drive motor 18 starts, its output end drives the threaded rod 17 inside the air conditioning unit 1 to rotate. The outer side of the threaded rod 17 meshes with the meshing block 16 fixed at the bottom of the first connecting block 13. The rotational motion of the threaded rod 17 is converted into the linear motion of the meshing block 16 through meshing transmission. The meshing block 16 drives the first connecting block 13, the second connecting block 14 and the connecting rod 15 to move as a whole, thereby driving all the adjusting plates 8 to deflect synchronously around the connecting rod 15, realizing the fine adjustment of the air outlet angle inside the air guide box 6, and accurately controlling the vertical diffusion range of the airflow.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 The rotating motor 10 and the drive motor 18 are both electrically controlled and connected by an external power supply.

[0024] Working Principle: First, the core adjustment mechanism of the device is powered by a rotary motor 10 and a drive motor 18, both of which are electrically controlled via an external power supply, ensuring operational stability and ease of operation. When the overall airflow direction needs to be adjusted, the rotary motor 10 starts, and its output directly drives the air guide box 6 inside the air conditioning unit 1 to rotate. One side of the air guide box 6 is rotatably connected to the air conditioning unit 1 via a mounting rod 3. The driving gear 4 on the outer side of one mounting rod 3 meshes with the driven gear 5 on the outer side of the other mounting rod 3. When the rotary motor 10 drives the air guide box 6 to rotate, the driving gear 4 and the driven gear 5 mesh synchronously, ensuring that the air guide box 6 rotates around the axis of the mounting rod 3 at a stable and precise angle, thereby changing the overall airflow direction of the air guide box 6 and achieving a wide range of airflow adjustment in the horizontal or inclined direction. At the same time, one end of the other mounting rod 3 extends into the air conditioning unit 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11. The partition 12 fixed on the outer side of the rotating rod 11 rotates synchronously with the mounting rod 3, and the obstruction range of the partition 12 can be adjusted according to the airflow angle requirements to optimize the airflow path. Inside the air guide box 6, fixed plates 7, which are fixed at equal intervals, provide basic guidance for airflow. Adjustment plates 8, which are installed at equal intervals, are interconnected through connecting plates 9 at the bottom. The first connecting block 13 and the second connecting block 14, which are symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the adjustment plates 8, form a linkage structure. The connecting rod 15, which is fixed inside the second connecting block 14, passes through the first connecting block 13 at both ends and is rotatably connected to the first connecting block 13, so that multiple adjustment plates 8 can be deflected synchronously. When the drive motor 18 starts, its output end drives the threaded rod 17 inside the air conditioning box 1 to rotate. The outer side of the threaded rod 17 meshes with the meshing block 16 fixed at the bottom of the first connecting block 13. The rotational motion of the threaded rod 17 is converted into the linear motion of the meshing block 16 through meshing transmission. The meshing block 16 drives the first connecting block 13, the second connecting block 14 and the connecting rod 15 to move as a whole, thereby driving all adjustment plates 8 to deflect synchronously around the connecting rod 15, realizing the fine adjustment of the air outlet angle inside the air guide box 6, and accurately controlling the vertical diffusion range of the airflow. By combining the dual synergistic effects of rotating motor 10 controlling the overall orientation of air guide box 6 and driving motor 18 adjusting the deflection angle of internal adjustment plate 8, along with the smooth transmission of drive gear 4 and driven gear 5 and the auxiliary airflow guidance of partition 12, this mechanism can flexibly adapt to the different physical needs of passengers, differences in working areas and changes in the external environment, and accurately guide airflow to cover a wider range. This avoids local overcooling or overheating, reduces discomfort caused by direct airflow, optimizes air circulation efficiency, improves the cooling and heating effect of air conditioning and reduces energy consumption, and ultimately creates a pleasant, energy-saving and efficient in-vehicle environment.
