[0001] The present claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201811159191.0, filed on September 30, 2018 and entitled "Air deflector Motion device and Fan".Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to a fan, in particular to an air deflector motion device in a fan and a fan.Background

[0003] Most of existing upper and lower air guide mechanisms of cooling fans on the market are manual, and part of the cooling fans with automatic upper and lower air guide mechanism have a problem of shaking during operation, specifically, during operation, an air deflector bounces faintly or suddenly.

[0004] The main reason of shaking is that the center of gravity of the air deflector is out of the axis of the air deflector during operation of the air deflector. The technology known to the inventors discloses an air direction adjusting device of an air conditioner, which includes an air deflector and a connecting rod. A shaft sleeve is arranged on an exhaust outlet for discharging the internal air of the air conditioner. The air deflector is rotationally connected to one side of the shaft sleeve, and adjusts the air direction of the air discharged to the exhaust outlet. A motor drives the rotation of the air deflector. A protrusion for driving is arranged on the air deflector, closest to the motor, in a plurality of air deflectors, and is located at a position which is eccentric to the rear based on the center of the air deflector. A driving connecting rod is connected between the protrusion for driving and the shaft of the motor. The protrusion for driving may obtain a driving force transmitted by the motor. The protrusion for driving and an air deflector connecting part connected to the shaft sleeve are on the same horizontal axis.

[0005] Although the above technical solution has solved the problem of shaking of the air deflector when it automatically swings, it has not solved the problem of sudden shaking of the air deflector at a certain position during movement.

Therefore, a feature defined by "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly indicate inclusion of one or more features.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it is to be noted that unless otherwise definitely specified and limited, terms "mount", "connected" and "connect" should be broadly understood. For example, the terms may refer to fixed connection and may also refer to detachable connection or integrated connection. The terms may refer to direct mutual connection, may also refer to indirect connection through a medium and may refer to communication in two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, specific meanings of these terms in the present invention can be understood according to a specific condition.

[0026] Referring to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, the present invention presents an air deflector motion device, which includes an air deflector 1 and an air outlet frame 2. The air deflector 1 is hinged to the air outlet frame 2 by a first rotating shaft 3. The air deflector motion device further includes a driving assembly 5 hinged to the air deflector 1 by a second rotating shaft 4. The driving assembly 5 is preset with a driving range, and the driving assembly 5 drives the air deflector to rotate around the first rotating shaft 3 in the driving range, so that the center of gravity of the air deflector 1 is located at the side, close to the second rotating shaft 4, of the first rotating shaft 3, or the center of gravity of the air deflector 1 is located above or below the first rotating shaft 3 in the vertical direction.

[0027] In the air deflector motion device of the present invention, the air deflector 1 is hinged to the air outlet frame 2 by the first rotating shaft 3, and the driving assembly 5 is hinged to the air deflector 1 by the second rotating shaft 4, so as to drive the air deflector 1 to rotate, and the center of gravity of the air deflector 1 is controlled at the side, close to the second rotating shaft 4, of the first rotating shaft 3, or above or below the first rotating shaft 3 in the vertical direction, so as to prevent sudden shaking caused by a sudden shift of the center of gravity to the side, far away from the second rotating shaft 4, of the first rotating shaft 3, which ensures the fluency of operation of the air deflector 1.

[0028] It is to be noted that the driving range varies according to the length of different air deflectors. The driving range is set artificially, and may be obtained by multiple tests on the same air deflector, or calculated by formula, or conservatively limited in a small range, but in any way, the center of gravity of the air deflector should be at the side, close to the second rotating shaft, of the first rotating shaft, or above or below the first rotating shaft in the vertical direction. The selected benchmark of the driving range is not limited here.

The two first protruding parts 5312 are disposed with a distance. In this way, when the crank 53 and the connecting rod 52 are mounted, the first protruding member 531 is inserted into the first through hole 521, and the two first protruding parts 5312 get close to the gap between them, so that the first protruding member 531 enters into the first through hole 521, and after that, the two first protruding parts 5312 move away from each other, the first protruding member 531 is mutually clamped with the first through hole 521, the connecting rod 52 is hinged to the crank 53, the crank 53 is connected with the driver 51, the connecting rod 52 is connected with the air deflector 1, the driver 51 drives the crank 53 to rotate, and the crank 53 drives the connecting rod 52 to move, so as to drive the air deflector 1 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 3.
