These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0058] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0059] Furthermore, the terms "set up," "connect," and "fix" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0060] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0061] As mentioned in the background section, a kitchen air conditioner includes a housing assembly and a smoke extraction fan disposed on the housing assembly. The housing assembly has a smoke extraction chamber and an air conditioning heating chamber. When the user is cooking, the kitchen air conditioner is in operation, and the smoke extraction fan is used to exhaust the cooking fumes generated during the cooking process into the flue through the exhaust duct.

[0062] The housing may also be provided with mutually separated air conditioning hot cavity and air conditioning cold cavity. The air conditioning module may include a matching evaporator and condenser, wherein the evaporator is located in the air conditioning cold cavity and can be used to reduce the temperature of the airflow in the air conditioning cold cavity through the evaporation process of the refrigerant, so that the airflow in the air conditioning cold cavity can be blown to the user through devices such as the air outlet fan, making the user's cooking process more comfortable.

[0063] The condenser is located inside the air conditioning hot cavity. The refrigerant liquefies inside the condenser, causing the temperature of the airflow inside the hot cavity to rise. To ensure the normal operation of the air conditioning module, a cooling fan is usually installed inside the hot cavity. The cooling fan is used to exhaust the heat from the hot cavity to the outside of the casing through heat dissipation pipes, thereby reducing the temperature of the hot cavity.

[0064] However, when a kitchen air conditioner is used for extended periods or frequently, the condenser in the air conditioning module remains operational for extended periods, resulting in a high temperature in the air conditioning's heat chamber. For example, when the kitchen air conditioner is used frequently, the time it spends not in operation is short, and the heat dissipation time of the heat chamber is short. Even when the smoke extraction module and air conditioning module of the kitchen air conditioner are not in operation, although the condenser may not be working, the heat chamber and condenser may still have a high temperature.

[0065] Furthermore, when the smoke extraction module and air conditioning module of the kitchen air conditioner are not in operation, the baffle usually closes the smoke extraction port, which further reduces the airflow speed inside the casing. This also affects the cooling process inside the air conditioning hot cavity, resulting in a high temperature in the air conditioning hot cavity of the kitchen air conditioner and problems such as poor cooling effect.

[0066] To improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the air conditioning hot cavity in kitchen air conditioners, research has found that when users are cooking, the smoke extraction module is in working condition. The smoke extraction cavity can be connected to the air conditioning hot cavity, allowing the smoke extraction fan to achieve the smoke extraction process through the smoke extraction port and to draw air from the air conditioning hot cavity through the smoke extraction cavity. This allows the smoke extraction fan to be reused in the heat dissipation process of the air conditioning hot cavity, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the air conditioning hot cavity.

[0067] However, since the connection port provides a physical channel for cooking fumes to flow from the smoke extraction chamber to the air conditioning heating chamber, when the user is cooking, the cooking fumes in the smoke extraction chamber may flow into the air conditioning heating chamber through the connection port, thus affecting the normal use of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0068] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a kitchen air conditioner. The housing assembly, through the cooperation of a drive mechanism and a shielding component, can flexibly control the state of the connecting port according to actual needs, thereby achieving effective airflow control between the first chamber and the smoke chamber. This ensures that the connecting port can be opened for rapid heat dissipation when needed, and can be closed to prevent oil fumes from entering the first chamber when not needed.

[0069] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0070] refer to Figures 1-6 This application provides a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing 100, a partition plate 200, a shielding member 300, and a drive mechanism 400.

[0071] The housing 100 has a first chamber 110 and a smoke chamber 120, and a condenser is provided in the first chamber 110.

[0072] A partition plate 200 is disposed on the housing 100 to form a partition between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120. The partition plate 200 is provided with a communication port 201 that can connect the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120.

[0073] The blocking member is slidably connected to the partition plate 200 and has a first position close to the communication port 201 and a second position away from the communication port 201. When the blocking member 300 is in the first position, the blocking member 300 can close the communication port 201; when the blocking member 300 is in the second position, the blocking member 300 can open the communication port 201.

[0074] In the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120, at least the smoking chamber 120 is provided with an air source, and with the shield 300 open and the communication port 201 open, the housing 100 forms a heat dissipation channel through the first chamber 110 to the smoking chamber 120 under the action of the air source.

[0075] The drive mechanism 400 is disposed on the partition plate 200 or the housing 100, and the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 is connected to the shield 300.

[0076] It is known that the casing 100 is the main external structure of the kitchen air conditioner, providing protection and support for the internal components.

[0077] The housing 100 includes a front side and a rear side disposed opposite to each other. A front panel is provided on the front side of the housing 100, and the front panel is disposed opposite to the housing. Figure 1 On the X-direction side. A rear back plate 140 is provided on the rear side of the housing 100, and the rear back plate 140 is disposed on the side of the housing 100 facing the X-direction. Figure 1 The side in the X direction.

[0078] The first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120 inside the housing 100 are separated by a partition plate 200, so that the kitchen air conditioner can handle heat and fumes separately, avoiding the mixing of the two, so as to more effectively manage different types of air flow and treatment needs.

[0079] Specifically, a smoke extraction fan can be installed inside the smoke extraction chamber 120. The smoke extraction fan connects the smoke extraction chamber 120 to the external environment and can quickly and effectively exhaust the fumes inside the smoke extraction chamber 120 to the external environment, reducing the accumulation of fumes in the kitchen and keeping the kitchen air clean.

[0080] The first chamber 110 is equivalent to an air conditioning hot chamber, and a cooling fan can be installed inside the first chamber 110. The cooling fan is connected to the outside of the first chamber 110, which can dissipate the heat inside the first chamber 110 to the outside in a timely manner, reduce the temperature of the hot chamber, and avoid the efficiency reduction and component overheating caused by heat accumulation.

[0081] The smoke inlet of the smoke chamber 120 can be located on the front side of the housing 100, facing the stove, so as to be able to suck in the oil fumes generated during cooking in a timely manner and reduce the possibility of oil fumes escaping.

[0082] The partition plate 200, through the cooperation of the connecting port 201 and the shielding member 300, achieves isolation or connection between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120. When the connecting port 201 is open, the shielding member 300 allows airflow from the first chamber 110 to the smoking chamber 120, forming a unidirectional heat dissipation channel.

[0083] The shield 300 is connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 and can close or open the connection port 201. For example, when the shield 300 is in the second position, the connection port 201 can be opened when not cooking or when cooking in a state where oil fumes are not easily generated, so as to centrally handle the heat emission of the first chamber 110, optimize the heat management of the first chamber 110 when no oil fumes are generated, and ensure the efficient operation of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0084] Specifically, when it is necessary to use the cooling fan in the smoke chamber 120 for auxiliary heat dissipation, the connecting port 201 allows airflow exchange between the first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120. At this time, the cooling fan can draw in hot air from the first chamber 110 and concentrate resources to discharge heat when no oil fumes are generated, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect by utilizing the discharge capacity of the smoke chamber 120.

[0085] During cooking, to prevent the fumes absorbed in the fume extraction chamber 120 from flowing into the first chamber 110 through the connecting port 201, the connecting port 201 needs to be closed. By providing a drive mechanism 400, the opening and closing of the connecting port 201 can be controlled, thereby closing the connecting port 201 when necessary to prevent fumes from entering the first chamber 110.

[0086] Specifically, by setting a partition plate 200 to separate the first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120, and setting a controllable connection port 201 on the partition plate 200, effective management of airflow in the kitchen air conditioning system is achieved, preventing oil fumes from flowing into the first chamber 110 through the connection port 201; by setting a drive mechanism 400 to control the opening and closing of the connection port 201, the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chamber 110 can be improved while preventing oil fumes from affecting the first chamber 110, which helps to improve the overall performance and service life of the kitchen air conditioner, and also improves the functional integration of the kitchen air conditioner and enhances its ability to adapt to different working environments.

[0087] In some possible implementations, the shield 300 can slide relative to the partition 200 between a first position and a second position along a first direction.

[0088] When the blocking member 300 is in the first position, the blocking member 300 can close the communication port 201; when the blocking member 300 is in the second position, the blocking member 300 can open the communication port 201.

[0089] As the blocking member 300 moves from the first position toward the second position along the first direction, the blocking member 300 gradually opens the communication port 201; as the blocking member 300 moves from the second position toward the first position along the first direction, the blocking member 300 gradually closes the communication port 201.

[0090] It is known that when the shield 300 is in the first position, it closes the connecting port 201 to prevent oil fumes from entering the first chamber; when it is in the second position, it opens the connecting port 201 to allow airflow to pass through, and airflow exchange occurs between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120.

[0091] Driven by the drive mechanism 400, the shield 300 can gradually open or close the connection port 201 during its movement, and can also achieve gradual adjustment of airflow, thereby achieving precise control of airflow and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0092] With the design that the shield 300 can move between the first position and the second position, the device can open the airflow channel between the first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120 when needed, and enhance the heat dissipation effect by utilizing the smoke fan; the progressive adjustment function of the shield 300 allows the system to be adjusted according to different working environments and needs, providing more flexible operation.

[0093] In some possible implementations, the air source is a main fan and a cooling fan, wherein the air source of the smoke chamber 120 is the main fan, and the air source in the first chamber 110 is the cooling fan. The exhaust end of the smoke chamber 120 is fluidly connected to the air inlet end of the first chamber 110 through the communication port 201, so that the heat dissipation channel is unidirectionally connected from the first chamber 110 to the smoke chamber 120.

[0094] It is known that the main fan can generate negative pressure, powerfully drawing in cooking fumes and expelling them through the exhaust duct; the cooling air actively forces the condenser in the first chamber 110 to cool it, expelling hot air. When the connection port 201 is open, the high negative pressure suction capacity of the main fan is reused for the auxiliary cooling air*, together forming a stronger, directional suction airflow that can quickly force away the heat accumulated in the condenser, accelerating the cooling process of the first chamber 110.

[0095] In some possible implementations, the drive mechanism 400 includes a slide 410, a slider 420, and a drive 430.

[0096] The sliding seat 410 is located on the partition plate 200.

[0097] The slider 420 can be slidably connected to the slider 410 along the first direction, and the slider 420 forms the power output end of the drive mechanism 400.

[0098] The driving member 430 is disposed on the sliding seat 410, and the driving member 430 can drive the sliding member 420 to slide relative to the sliding seat 410 in a first direction.

[0099] It is known that the sliding seat 410 is disposed on the partition plate 200, providing support and guidance for the sliding member 420. The sliding seat 410 is a fixed part of the drive mechanism 400, ensuring that the sliding member 420 remains stable during sliding and preventing displacement; the sliding member 420 can move along the first direction ( Figure 1 The slider 420 (in the y-axis direction) is slidably connected to the sliding seat 410. The movement of the slider 420 directly affects the opening and closing state of the blocking member 300 and controls the opening and closing of the connecting port 201. The driving member 430 is the power source of the driving mechanism 400 and provides power to achieve precise movement of the slider 420.

[0100] Thus, through the coordinated action of the sliding seat 410, the sliding member 420, and the driving member 430, the system can maintain a precise movement path during operation, improving the operational accuracy of the shielding member 300. The sliding connection between the sliding seat 410 and the sliding member 420 provides stable support and guidance, reducing offset and vibration during movement, and improving the stability and reliability of the system. The precise drive control of the driving member 430 ensures the effectiveness of airflow management between the first chamber and the smoking chamber, improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0101] During use, as needed, the drive component 430 drives the slider 420 to slide on the slider seat 410 to control the movement of the shield 300 and close or open the communication port 201.

[0102] In some possible implementations, the slide seat 410 is provided with a sliding groove 411 that extends along a first direction.

[0103] The slider 420 is disposed in the sliding groove 411, and the slider 420 can slide in the sliding groove 411 along the first direction.

[0104] Since the sliding groove 411 extends along the first direction, it can provide a clear sliding path for the slider 420. This design ensures that the slider 420 stays within the predetermined track (sliding groove 411) during the sliding process, preventing deviation.

[0105] The sliding groove 411 provides a clear sliding path for the slider 420, ensuring the accuracy of the slider 420 during the sliding process and improving the operating accuracy of the blocking component 300. The design of the sliding groove 411 reduces the offset and vibration of the slider 420 during the movement process, improving the stability and reliability of the system.

[0106] In some possible implementations, the opening of the sliding groove 411 is provided with a limiting part 412.

[0107] The limiting part 412 is connected to the side wall of the sliding groove 411, and the side of the limiting part 412 away from the side wall of the sliding groove 411 extends toward the inside of the sliding groove 411.

[0108] The limiting part 412 can prevent the sliding member 420 from disengaging from the groove of the sliding groove 411.

[0109] And / or, the sliding groove 411 is provided with an opening, which is connected to one end of the sliding groove 411 along the first direction, and the sliding member 420 can enter or move out of the sliding groove 411 through the opening.

[0110] It can be understood that the limiting part 412 is set at the opening of the sliding groove 411, ensuring that the sliding member 420 will not accidentally disengage from the sliding groove 411 during the sliding process, providing additional safety protection, improving the stability of the sliding member 420 in the sliding groove 411, and preventing the sliding member 420 from shifting or disengaging due to external force or vibration; the opening design of the sliding groove 411 allows the sliding member 420 to enter or exit the sliding groove 411 through the opening, simplifying the installation and maintenance process of the sliding member 420, reducing the complexity of operation, and allowing the sliding member 420 to be quickly removed from the sliding groove 411 for inspection or replacement when needed, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0111] In some possible implementations, the slide block 410 is provided with a guide groove 413 that extends along a first direction.

[0112] The shielding member 300 is provided with a guide part 500. The first end of the guide part 500 is connected to the shielding member 300, and the second end of the guide part 500 is inserted into the guide groove 413. The guide part 500 can slide in the guide groove 413 along the first direction.

[0113] It is understood that the guide groove 413 provides a clear sliding path for the guide portion 500 of the shield 300, ensuring that the guide portion 500 remains on the predetermined track during sliding and preventing deviation.

[0114] The sliding groove 411 provides a constraint in only one direction for guiding the slider 420. At the same time, a guide groove 413 is introduced on the sliding seat 410. The presence of the guide groove 413 not only enhances the guiding function in the first direction, but also increases the stability of the structure. While the slider 420 slides on the sliding groove 411, the guide part 500 also slides on the guide groove 413, adding a second constraint along the first direction, so that the blocking part 300 can remain stable and accurate during the sliding process.

[0115] When the guide part 500 slides in the guide groove 413, a well-designed guide structure can reduce friction, improve sliding efficiency and service life.

[0116] Therefore, through the precise guidance control of the guide groove 413 and the guide section 500, the effectiveness of airflow management between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120 is further ensured, ensuring that the connection port 201 can be opened for rapid heat dissipation when needed, and that the connection port 201 can be closed to prevent oil fumes from entering the first chamber when not needed.

[0117] Specifically, the guide part 500 has a roller structure to reduce friction. The guide part 500 is rotatably connected to the shield 300. The height of the guide groove 413 is adapted to the diameter of the guide part 500 to provide a smoother guiding effect.

[0118] The guide section 500 can also be a rectangular or circular slider that fits tightly with the guide groove 413, providing a stable sliding effect suitable for applications requiring high precision.

[0119] The guide section 500 can be made of elastic material, which can adapt to a certain degree of deformation, thus absorbing vibration and impact, making it suitable for applications that require cushioning.

[0120] The guide groove 413 can be a straight guide groove*, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture. It is usually a straight groove that can provide a clear straight sliding path, suitable for applications that require precise linear motion.

[0121] Alternatively, a guide groove 413 with a "T"-shaped cross-section can be used, which can provide stronger fixing and guiding capabilities, better prevent lateral movement of the guide part 500, and improve the stability of the system.

[0122] Alternatively, a U-shaped guide groove 413 can be used, which is suitable for guiding that requires a certain depth, providing a good guiding effect while allowing a certain degree of flexibility.

[0123] Alternatively, a guide groove 413 with a "V" shaped cross section can be used. This type of guide groove is typically used in applications that require self-alignment, enabling automatic centering during sliding and reducing friction and wear.

[0124] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some possible implementations, the guide groove 413 is provided with a recessed portion 414, the first end of the recessed portion 414 is connected to the guide groove 413, the second end of the recessed portion 414 extends downward, and the height of the recessed portion 414 is lower than the height of the guide groove 413.

[0125] When the shielding member 300 is not in the first position, the guide part 500 is located in the guide groove 413, and the shielding member 300 does not contact the partition plate 200.

[0126] When the shielding member 300 is in the first position, the guide part 500 is located inside the recessed part 414, and the shielding member 300 is in contact with the partition plate 200.

[0127] It is known that the height of the recessed part 414 is lower than the height of the guide groove 413. This design allows the guide part 500 to enter the recessed part 414 when the shield 300 is in the first position. When the guide part 500 is in the recessed part 414, the shield 300 fits against the partition plate 200. This fitting state improves the sealing of the shield 300 against the connecting port 201, preventing oil fumes from entering the first chamber 110 through the connecting port 201.

[0128] When the blocking member 300 is not in the first position, the guide part 500 is located in the guide groove 413, and the blocking member 300 does not contact the partition plate 200, thereby reducing or avoiding the friction of the blocking member 300 on the partition plate 200 when it moves between different positions.

[0129] In summary, the design of the recessed portion 414 ensures that the shield 300 fits snugly against the partition plate 200 in the first position, improving the sealing performance of the system and preventing oil fumes from entering the first chamber 110; reducing friction allows the shield 300 to move flexibly between different positions, providing greater operational flexibility and adaptability; and by improving airtightness, the effectiveness of airflow management between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120 is ensured, improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0130] When it is necessary to close the connection, the drive member 430 drives the slider 420 to push the blocking member 300 to the first position, so that the guide part 500 slides along the guide groove 413. When the guide part 500 slides to the end of the guide groove 413, it falls into the recessed part 414, and the blocking member 300 fits against the partition plate 200.

[0131] When it is necessary to open the connection port, the driving component 430 drives the sliding component 420 to push the blocking component 300 away from the first position, the guide part 500 is raised, leaves the sinking part 414 and enters the guide groove 413 to continue sliding, and the blocking component 300 separates from the partition plate 200.

[0132] Specifically, the guide groove 413 and the recessed part 414 are connected by an arc-shaped connecting surface, which allows the guide part 500 to move smoothly between the guide groove 413 and the recessed part 414.

[0133] In some embodiments, the eaves of the connection 201 and / or the edges of the shield 300 have flexible sealing gaskets to improve sealing.

[0134] refer to Figure 9 In some possible implementations, the slider 420 is provided with a connector, which includes a first connecting portion 441 and a second connecting portion 442.

[0135] The first connecting part 441 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 420, the first end of the second connecting part 442 is rotatably connected to the first connecting part 441, and the second end of the second connecting part 442 is rotatably connected to the blocking member 300.

[0136] It is understood that the first end of the second connecting part 442 is rotatably connected to the first connecting part 441, and the second end of the second connecting part 442 is rotatably connected to the blocking member 300. Both ends of the second connecting part 442 can rotate freely within a certain range, allowing the overall height of the connecting part to change, adapting to the height difference between the blocking member 300 and the first and second positions caused by the recessed part 414 and the guide groove 413. When the blocking member 300 moves from the first position to the second position, a smooth transition is allowed, avoiding jamming or instability caused by the height difference.

[0137] By adapting to height differences, the connecting part can flexibly adapt to different operating conditions and needs, improving overall adaptability; the height adjustment function of the connecting part allows for precise control of the opening of the connecting port 201, thereby optimizing airflow management and improving heat dissipation efficiency; the rotational connection of the second connecting part 442 reduces stress concentration and wear, improving the durability and reliability of the system.

[0138] When it is necessary to close the connection, the drive member 430 drives the slider 420 to push the blocking member 300 to the first position. The guide part 500 falls from the guide groove 413 into the recessed part 414. The blocking member 300 fits with the partition plate 200. The tilt angle of the second connecting part 422 becomes smaller and the overall height of the connecting part increases to adapt to the lowering of the height position of the blocking member 300.

[0139] When it is necessary to open the connection port, the driving component 430 drives the sliding component 420 to push the blocking component 300 away from the first position, the guide part 500 is raised, leaves the sinking part 414 and enters the guide groove 413 to continue sliding, the blocking component 300 separates from the partition plate 200, the tilt angle of the second connecting part 422 increases, and the overall height of the connecting part decreases to adapt to the increase in the height position of the blocking component 300.

[0140] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 In some possible embodiments, there are multiple guide grooves 413, including a first guide groove 4131 and a second guide groove 4132, which are spaced apart along the height direction.

[0141] The number of guide portions 500 is multiple, including a first guide portion 510 and a second guide portion 520, which are spaced apart along a first direction.

[0142] The first guide part 510 is inserted into the first guide groove 4131, and the second guide part 520 is inserted into the second guide groove 4132.

[0143] It is known that the first guide groove 4131 and the second guide groove 4132 are spaced apart along the height direction, providing multi-layered guiding support, enhancing the stability and accuracy of the shield 300 during the sliding process, and reducing offset and vibration during the movement.

[0144] In some possible implementations, there are multiple sliding seats 410, including a first sliding seat 410a and a second sliding seat 410b, which are spaced apart on both sides of the blocking member 300 along the first direction.

[0145] There are multiple guide parts 500. The blocking member 300 is slidably connected to the first sliding seat through the first guide part 500, and the blocking member is slidably connected to the second sliding seat through the second guide part 500.

[0146] Understandably, the first sliding seat 410a and the second sliding seat 410b are spaced apart on both sides of the shield 300 along the first direction. This design provides double-sided support for the shield 300, improves its stability during sliding, reduces the offset and vibration of the shield 300 during sliding, and improves the stability and reliability of the system.

[0147] The precise multi-point support and sliding connection ensure the effectiveness of airflow management between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0148] refer to Figures 7-11 In some possible implementations, the slider 420 is configured as a sliding rack that extends along a first direction.

[0149] The drive component 430 is configured as a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor is equipped with a drive gear, which meshes with a sliding rack.

[0150] It is known that the sliding rack extends along the first direction, providing a path for linear motion, allowing the blocking member 300 to make precise linear adjustments during the opening and closing of the communication port 201; the tooth profile design of the rack meshes with the drive gear, ensuring the precise positioning and stable movement of the sliding member 420, and improving the control accuracy of the system.

[0151] In some implementations, the drive 430 may use a stepper motor or a servo motor. A stepper motor achieves precise, unpredictable control through step-by-step rotation, while a servo motor achieves high-precision positioning control through a feedback system.

[0152] During use, the drive component 430 drives the drive gear to rotate. Since the position of the drive gear is fixed relative to the sliding groove 411, the sliding rack (slider 420) meshing with it will slide on the sliding groove 411 in the opposite direction of the rotation of the drive gear, thereby driving the connecting component to move relative to the sliding groove 411, thereby switching the blocking component 300 between the first position and the second position.

[0153] In some possible implementations, the slide seat 410 is provided with a mounting bracket 450, which is located on the side of the slide seat 410 away from the shield 300.

[0154] The drive unit 430 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 450 away from the shield 300, and the output shaft of the drive unit 430 passes through the mounting bracket 450.

[0155] The mounting bracket 450 is located on the side of the slide seat 410 away from the shield 300, providing a robust support structure that ensures the stable installation of the drive component 430 and reduces vibration and displacement. By placing the mounting bracket 450 on the far side of the slide seat 410, the spatial layout is optimized, allowing the drive component 430 to make effective use of space and avoid interference with other components.
