Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a motion assembly for an air deflection 50, as shown in fig. 1-13.

In some embodiments, the motion assembly for the air deflection 50 includes: the drive element 10, the first link 20, the second link 30 and the track plate 40, the drive element 10 having a centre of rotation, the drive element 10 being provided with a drive post 122; one end of the first connecting rod 20 is rotationally connected with the air deflector 50, the first connecting rod 20 is slidably connected with the driving element 10, and the first connecting rod 20 is provided with a limit groove 23; one end of the second connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected with the air deflector 50; the track plate 40 is provided with a track portion defining the movement of the first link 20 and the second link 30; wherein, under the drive of the driving element 10, the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 drive the air deflector 50 to extend to a first preset position, and then the first connecting rod 20 moves to redirect and cooperate with the second connecting rod 30 to drive the air deflector 50 to rotate; the driving post 122 is configured to move within the limit slot 23 to provide a driving force for redirecting the movement of the first link 20.

The motion assembly provided by the embodiment of the disclosure includes a driving element 10, a first connecting rod 20, a second connecting rod 30 and a track plate 40, wherein the driving element 10 provides a driving force for the motion for the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 through sliding connection with the first connecting rod 20, so that the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 drive the air deflector 50 to extend to a first preset position and then rotate, wherein the limiting groove 23 is formed in the first connecting rod 20, and the driving column 122 is arranged in the driving element 10, and the driving column 122 slides in the limiting groove 23, so that the first connecting rod 20 can overcome gravity and move along a preset track of the track portion, thereby enabling the motion assembly to drive the air deflector 50 to move more accurately, and avoiding the situation that the first connecting rod 20 cannot move along the preset track. The gravity overcome by the first connecting rod 20 includes the gravity of the first connecting rod 20 and the gravity of the air deflector 50. The driving mode of the moving assembly is simple, and the large-angle air guide of the air guide plate 50 can be realized.

Optionally, the limiting groove 23 is flared horn-shaped.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the shape of the limiting groove 23 is a flared horn shape, and the shape of the inner edge of the limiting groove 23 is the movement track of the driving post 122 of the driving element 10. It will be appreciated that the driving element 10 has a rotation center and can move in different directions, when the driving element 10 starts to move in one direction from the initial position, the movement track of the driving post 122 is a straight line, and as the driving post 122 continues to move, the movement track of the driving post 122 becomes an arc until moving out of the limit groove 23; when the driving element 10 starts to move from the initial position to the other direction, the movement track of the driving post 122 is also linear and then arc. Thus, the motion trajectories of the driving post 122 in different directions overall exhibit a flared horn shape.

Alternatively, the inner edge of the limiting groove 23 is provided with a first limiting point and a second limiting point having an abutment force with the driving post 122.

As described above, the inner edge of the limit groove 23 is the movement track of the driving post 122, but the driving post 122 has only an abutment force with the first limit point and the second limit point of the limit groove 23, and the driving post 122 has no abutment force with other positions of the limit groove 23, so that when the driving element 10 rotates, the other positions of the limit groove 23 do not interfere with the movement of the driving element 10, so that the driving element 10 does not interfere with the movement of the first link 20. As shown in fig. 2, the first restriction site is denoted by a and the second restriction site is denoted by B.

Optionally, the inner edge of the limiting groove 23 includes a first flared section 231, a U-shaped section 233 and a second flared section 232, the first limiting point a is located at the connection between the U-shaped section 233 and the first flared section 231, and the second limiting point B is located at the connection between the U-shaped section 233 and the second flared section 232.

As shown in fig. 2, the limiting groove 23 is flared and comprises a first flared section 231, a U-shaped section 233 and a second flared section 232 which are connected with each other, the connection between the first flared section 231 and the U-shaped section 233 is a first limiting point a, the connection between the second flared section 232 and the U-shaped section 233 is a second limiting point B, and the shapes of the first flared section 231 and the second flared section 232 are arc shapes. The absence of an abutment force between the first and second flared sections 231, 232 and the drive post 122 may prevent the drive post 122 of the drive element 10 from interfering with the movement of the first link 20.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the movement track of the driving post 122 of the driving element 10 is designed in the form of the limit groove 23, rather than the limit track, mainly to prevent the air deflector 50 from being jammed during the closing process. It will be appreciated that, in the closing process of the air deflector 50, the driving post 122 needs to move back into the limit groove 23 from above the first connecting rod 20, if the limit groove 23 is in the form of a limit rail, the width of the entrance of the limit rail is smaller, as shown in fig. 4, the driving post 122 may not smoothly return to the limit rail, thereby causing the air deflector 50 to move and jam.

Although the inner edge of the limiting groove 23 has only the driving force between the first and second limiting points a and B and the driving post 122, the limiting groove 23 is necessarily designed in a flared horn shape, and cannot retain only the first and second limiting points a and B. As the time of using the air conditioner by the user is prolonged year by year, deformation of each part of the moving assembly is possible, and the U-shaped section 233, the first flared section 231 or the second flared section 232 is reserved, so that the driving column 122 smoothly passes through the first limit point a or the second limit point B from the U-shaped section 233 and is abutted with the first limit point a or the second limit point B, and the driving column 122 is prevented from being blocked at the first limit point a or the second limit point B due to the deformation of the part.

Alternatively, the track portion includes a first track having a chevron shape for defining a movement track of the first link 20, wherein the first track includes a first straight track 41, a first branch track 42, and a second branch track 43; the first linear rail 41 has a three-way section 411; the first branch rail 42 is communicated with the three-way section 411; the second branch rail 43 is communicated with the three-way section 411, and the extending direction of the second branch rail 43 is different from that of the first branch rail 42; when the driving post 122 of the driving element 10 moves to the first limiting point a, the abutment force between the first limiting point a and the driving post 122 drives the first link 20 to move along the first side of the initial end of the three-way section 411, and at this time, the first link 20 starts to redirect to a direction; when the driving post 122 of the driving element 10 moves to the second limiting point B, the abutment force between the second limiting point B and the driving post 122 drives the first link 20 to move along the second side edge of the starting end of the three-way section 411, and at this time, the first link 20 starts to move and redirect in the other direction.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the driving element 10 provides a driving force for the movement of the first link 20 and the second link 30, so that the first link 20 moves along the first linear track 41 and is synchronous with the second link 30 to the first preset position, and then the first link 20 starts to move and redirect, so that the first link 20 moves relatively to the second link 30, and the air deflector 50 starts to rotate.

It will be appreciated that the three-way section 411 is a connecting section of the first linear rail 41, the first branch rail 42 and the second branch rail 43, the three-way section 411 is an end section of the first linear rail 41, and the start end of the three-way section 411 is located between the start point and the end point of the first linear rail 41, when the first link 20 moves to the three-way section 411, the three-way section 411 has no rail restraining force on the first link 20, so that the first link 20 cannot select a rail for operation, i.e., cannot be redirected. The first link 20 may move along the first branch rail 42 of the first rail due to gravity and may also move along the second branch rail 43 due to gravity during installation. Thus, it is necessary to provide the first link 20 with a driving force for selecting a running track, i.e., a driving force for providing a movement redirection for the first link 20. The driving force is an abutment force between the first and second limiting points a and B of the limiting groove 23 and the driving post 122.

Specifically, as drive post 122 moves to first limiting point A, drive post 122 provides a downward force that moves first link 20 along a first side of tee segment 411 into first branch track 42; when the drive post 122 moves to the second limit point B, the drive post 122 provides an upward force that moves the first link 20 along the second side of the three-way segment 411 into the second branch track 43. In this way, the problem of the first link 20 being unable to select a trajectory in the three-way section 411 is avoided. Alternatively, the first side edge of the three-way section 411 is the right side edge shown in fig. 7, and the first link 20 is movable along the first side edge of the three-way section 411 into the first branch track 42; the second side edge of the three-way section 411 is the left side edge shown in fig. 7, and the first link 20 is movable along the second side edge of the three-way section 411 into the second branch rail 43.

Optionally, the track portion further includes a second track, which is linear, and has an extension direction identical to that of the first linear track 41.

Alternatively, the second rail includes three linear rails, namely, a second linear rail 44, a third linear rail 45, and a fourth linear rail 46, along which the second link 30 is linearly moved during the extension and rotation of the wind deflector 50.

In the disclosed embodiment, the movement of the two links in the first track and the second track is achieved by the sliding posts on the back sides of the two links moving in the tracks.

Optionally, the first link 20 is further provided with at least two sliding posts moving along the track portion, and the second link 30 is provided with at least two sliding posts moving along the track portion.

Optionally, the first link 20 includes a sliding plate surface slidably connected to the driving element 10 and a limiting plate surface opposite to the sliding plate surface, the sliding plate surface is provided with a limiting groove 23, the limiting plate surface is provided with a first sliding column 25 and a second sliding column 26 which limit the movement of the first link 20, the first sliding column 25 and the second sliding column 26 jointly limit the movement track of the first link 20, wherein the first sliding column 25 is disposed at the top end of the first link 20, and the second sliding column 26 is disposed at the middle section of the first link 20. Specifically, the first slide post 25 moves within the first linear rail 41, the first branch rail 42, and the second branch rail 43, the second slide post 26 moves within the second linear rail 44 at all times, and the first link 20 begins to redirect movement as the first slide post 25 moves along the first side or the second side of the three-way section 411. Optionally, the first sliding post 25 and the second sliding post 26 are arranged perpendicular to the limiting plate surface.

Optionally, one surface of the second connecting rod 30 abuts against the first connecting rod 20, and a third sliding column 31, a fourth sliding column 32 and a fifth sliding column 33 are arranged on the other surface, and the three sliding columns are arranged in a triangle shape, as shown in fig. 6, so that the limiting effect on the movement track of the second connecting rod 30 is improved. Wherein the third sliding column 31 moves in the second linear rail 44, the fourth sliding column 32 moves in the third linear rail 45, and the fifth sliding column 33 moves in the fourth linear rail 46.

Through the arrangement between the sliding column and the corresponding track, the driving element 10 can drive the first connecting rod 20 and the second connecting rod 30 to synchronously and linearly move to the first preset position, and when the driving column 122 of the driving element 10 moves to the first limit point A or the second limit point B, the first connecting rod 20 starts to move and redirect and relatively move with the second connecting rod 30, so as to drive the air deflector 50 to rotate. Specifically, after the driving post 122 moves to the first limiting point a, the first sliding post 25 of the first link 20 moves along the first side edge of the three-way section 411, so as to drive the first link 20 to select the first branch rail 42 to move, and the second link 30 moves linearly along the second rail, so that the air deflector 50 is opened upwards; when the driving post 122 moves to the second limiting point B, the first sliding post 25 of the first link 20 moves along the second side edge of the three-way section 411, so as to drive the first link 20 to select the second branch rail 43 to move, and the second link 30 moves linearly along the second rail, so that the air deflector 50 is opened downward.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first preset position is a position where the air deflector 50 horizontally extends out of the air conditioner and is about to start rotating, as shown in fig. 10, at this time, a certain distance is provided between the air deflector 50 and the air outlet, and the air deflector 50 can be opened upwards or downwards at the first preset position. Alternatively, the rotational position of the air deflector 50 may not be limited to the first preset position, which may be understood as an initial position of the rotation of the air deflector 50, and the rotation of the air deflector 50 may be understood as the rotation while being extended. Specifically, the first preset position may be a position of the air deflector 50 corresponding to the first sliding pillar 25 of the first connecting rod 20 when the first sliding pillar is about to enter the beginning of the three-way section 411.

Optionally, the following relationship is satisfied between the running track d of the first link 20 along the first linear track 41 and the arc length L1 of the first flared section 231 and the arc length L2 of the second flared section 232: d is greater than or equal to max (L1, L2).

Optionally, the time node at which the drive post 122 of the drive element 10 moves to the first limit point a or the second limit point B is earlier than or equal to the time node at which the first link 20 enters the start end of the three-way section 411, begins to select the first branch rail 42 or the second branch rail 43, so that the movement of the first link 20 is redirected by the abutment of the drive post 122 with the first limit point a or the second limit point B.

For the setting positions of the first limit point a and the second limit point B, in order for the first limit point a and the second limit point B to function as driving forces for providing the first link 20 with the selection track, the length of the movement track of the first link 20 along the first linear track 41 needs to be greater than or equal to the largest one of the arc length values of the first flared section 231 and the second flared section 232. The movement trace of the first sliding post 25 of the first link 20 along the first linear track 41 also approximates an arc because the first sliding post 25 moves along either the first side or the second side of the three-way section 411 as the first sliding post 25 moves along the three-way section 411.

Optionally, a limiting post 24 is disposed between the first sliding post 25 and the second sliding post 26, as shown in fig. 3, in the process of moving the air deflector 50 to the first preset position, the limiting post 24 abuts against the top end of the second connecting rod 30. That is, in the process that the air guide plate 50 moves to the first preset position, the driving element 10 gives the driving force for moving with the first link 20, and the limit post 24 of the first link 20 gives the driving force for moving with the second link 30, so that the first link 20 and the second link 30 synchronously move linearly, thereby driving the air guide plate 50 to move linearly to the first preset position.

Optionally, the length of the limiting post 24 is smaller than the length of either one of the first sliding post 25 and the second sliding post 26. Alternatively, the length of the first sliding post 25 may be equal to the length of the second sliding post 26, and the length of the limiting post 24 is smaller than the length of the first sliding post 25, so that the limiting post 24 does not interfere with the movement track of the first link 20 during the movement of the first link 20. In addition, the existence of the limit posts 24 can also prevent the air deflector 50 from shaking during the rotation of the air deflector 50.

Optionally, the second link 30 is further provided with a through-slide 35 extending through the face of the second link 30. The second link 30 is provided with a through-slide 35 so that the second sliding post 26 of the first link 20 can move along the second track through the through-slide 35.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sliding connection between the driving element 10 and the first link 20 is achieved by the transmission shaft 121 of the driving element 10 and the through groove 21 of the first link 20 described below.

Optionally, the driving element 10 further includes a driving shaft 121, the driving shaft 121 is disposed at a free end of the driving element 10, the first link 20 is provided with a through slot 21, and the driving shaft 121 slides along the through slot 21 during the movement of the air deflector 50.

Alternatively, the through groove 21 is linear. As shown in fig. 2, the driving element 10 drives the first link 20 to move by the sliding of the transmission shaft 121 in the through groove 21. Alternatively, the drive shaft 121 itself does not rotate, but rotates along the virtual or physical center of rotation of the drive element 10 under the drive of the drive element 10. Alternatively, the motion trajectory formed by the transmission shaft 121 is a circle having a center of rotation of the driving element 10 and a radius of a distance from the transmission shaft 121 to the center of rotation.

Optionally, a limiting groove 23 is provided on the lower side of the through groove 21. The inner edge of the limit groove 23 has an action point with the driving column 122, which gives the driving force of the first connecting rod 20 for selecting the preset track, and simultaneously, the first connecting rod 20 moves along the preset track against the gravity, so that the air deflector 50 is opened upwards or downwards. The gravity includes the gravity of the air deflector 50 and the gravity of the first link 20.

Alternatively, the limit groove 23 communicates with the through groove 21, and the depth of the limit groove 23 is smaller than the depth of the through groove 21.

In the process that the driving element 10 drives the first connecting rod 20 to move, the driving shaft 121 always slides along the through groove 21, the driving column 122 moves to the upper side of the through groove 21 along the inner edge of the limit groove 23 through the through groove 21, in order to achieve the above process, the limit groove 23 needs to be communicated with the through groove 21, and the depth of the limit groove 23 is smaller than that of the through groove 21, so that the driving shaft 121 can always slide along the through groove 21, and the driving column 122 can smoothly move from the lower side of the through groove 21 to the upper side of the through groove 21.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the track plate 40 is provided with the open groove 47, and the first track and the second track are both disposed in the open groove 47, where the first track is disposed on the upper portion of the open groove 47, and the second track is disposed on the lower side of the first track.
