In this way, the entire driving device 200 is disposed on the left and right side wall surfaces of the accommodating cavity 111, and further, compared with the driving device 200 disposed on the upper and lower side wall surfaces of the accommodating cavity 111, the space in the vertical direction of the accommodating cavity 111 can be fully utilized, so that the gear set 220 and the swing arm 231 have sufficient movement space to satisfy the moving stroke of the opening and closing door 120; and the size of the accommodating cavity 111 in the width and length directions can be effectively reduced, so that the structure of the whole machine is more compact, and the volume and the occupied space are smaller.

Further, as shown in fig. 5 to 10, the gear set 220 includes a driving gear 221 and a driven gear 222, which are in transmission connection, the driving member 210 is connected to the driving gear 221, and the swing arm 231 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 222, or the swing arm 231 and the driven gear 222 are integrally disposed.

In this embodiment, the driving member 210 may be a driving motor. An output shaft of the driving motor is fixedly connected with a gear shaft of the driving gear 221 to drive the driving gear 221 to rotate. The swing arm 231 and the driven gear 222 can be integrally arranged, so that the connection strength between the swing arm 231 and the driven gear 222 can be effectively improved. The swing arm 213 and the driven gear 222 may be fixedly connected by welding, screwing, or the like. The gear teeth of the driving gear 221 and the driven gear 222 can be meshed with each other, and the driving gear 221 and the driven gear 222 can be in transmission connection through the transmission gear 223. The gear ratio of the driving gear 221 and the driven gear 222 can be selected according to actual requirements. Generally, the output rotation speed is high due to the driving motor. Alternatively, the driven gear 222 has a larger number of teeth than the driving gear 221. In this way, the speed of the switch door 120 can be reduced by the driven gear 222, so that the switch door 120 can slowly translate, and the stall fault of the switch door 120 caused by rapid movement can be avoided.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 5 to 9, two ends of the opening/closing door 120 in the first direction are respectively provided with a sliding groove 121, each sliding groove 121 is correspondingly provided with a swing arm 231, a positioning shaft 232 on each swing arm 231 is correspondingly arranged in one sliding groove 121, each swing arm 231 is fixedly connected with a driven gear 222, the two driven gears 222 are engaged with each other, the driving gear 221 is in transmission connection with one of the driven gears 222, and the driving gear 221 drives the two driven gears 222 to synchronously rotate.

In the present embodiment, specifically, the number of teeth of the two driven gears 222 is equal. By arranging two driven gears 222 which are meshed with each other, the driving gear 221 is in transmission connection with one driven gear 222, the driven gear 222 drives the other driven gear 222 to rotate, and then the two driven gears 222 reversely and synchronously rotate to drive the two swing arms 231 to swing away from or close to each other. Therefore, the two positioning shafts 232 on the two swing arms 231 move toward and away from each other in the sliding groove 121, so that the driving force of the swing arms 231 on the switching door 120 is the same in the direction of the component force in the inner and outer directions of the mounting opening 112, and the switching door 120 can be pushed to move from the accommodating cavity 111 to the mounting opening 112 or pulled to move from the mounting opening 112 to the accommodating cavity 111. The two swing arms 231 are driven by the two driven gears 222 engaged with each other to pull the two ends of the switch door 120 in the first direction, so that the driving force is more sufficient than that of the driving device provided with one driven gear 222, and the whole driving device 200 can drive the switch door 120 to move in and out more smoothly. And the driving forces of the two mutually meshed driven gears 222 acting on the switch door 120 through the swing arm 231 are opposite in component force direction in the vertical direction and equal in magnitude, so that the vertical forces acting on the switch door 120 through the gear set can be mutually offset, and further, the vertical movement of the switch door 120 can be avoided, and the translation of the switch door 120 in the internal and external directions of the mounting opening 112 is more stable and smooth. In addition, the two driven gears 222 can reduce the stress of the single swing arm 231 and the positioning shaft 232, and the service life of the positioning shaft 232 is prolonged. In other embodiments, only one sliding groove 121 may be formed on the opening/closing door 120, so that the sliding groove 121 is located approximately in the middle of the opening/closing door 120 in the first direction.

In the present embodiment, it can be understood that the two driving gears 221 are isolated from each other. The two driving gears 221 are respectively engaged with the transmission gear 223, so as to synchronously drive the transmission gear 223 to rotate, and further drive the two driven gears 222 to synchronously rotate in opposite directions. Through setting up two driving gears 221 and two driving pieces 210 for two driving pieces 210 synchronous drive two driving gears 221 are synchronous and the syntropy rotates, and then make drive arrangement 200's drive power more sufficient, and the drive effect is better, makes the removal of switch door 120 more steady smooth and easy. Alternatively, the number of teeth of the driving gear 223 is smaller than that of the driven gear 222 and larger than that of the driving gear 221. The two driving gears 221 are in transmission connection with the driven gear 222 through the transmission gear 223, which can play a role of speed reduction, thereby ensuring the moving speed of the opening and closing door 120 and avoiding collision or other faults caused by too high speed. In other embodiments, the two driving gears 221 may be engaged with one of the transmission gears 223 at the same time, or the two driving gears 221 may be engaged with the two driven gears 222, respectively.

In one embodiment, the opening and closing door 120 is slidably coupled to the main body 110 along the inside and outside directions of the mounting opening 112. The switch door 120 and the main body 110 may be connected by a sliding track, a pin 122, or a sliding track, which are not illustrated herein. By slidably connecting the switch door 120 to the main body 110 along the inside and outside directions of the mounting opening 112, the moving track of the switch door 120 can be limited to the inside and outside directions along the mounting opening 112, and the movement of the switch door 120 in the inside and outside directions of the mounting opening 112 is more stable and smooth.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5 to 10, the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 111 is provided with a guide groove 1131 extending in the inward and outward directions of the mounting opening 112, or the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 111 is connected with a guide rail 113, the guide rail 113 is provided with a guide groove 1131 extending in the inward and outward directions of the mounting opening 112, the switch door 120 is connected with a pin 122, and the pin 122 is slidably connected in the guide groove 1131.

It is also possible to attach the guide rail 113 to the inner wall surface of the accommodating chamber 111 by additionally providing the guide rail 113 to provide the guide groove 1131 on the guide rail 113. Compared with the guide groove 1131 directly formed on the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 111, the guide groove 1131 formed on the additionally arranged guide rail 113 can improve the structural strength of the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 111, thereby ensuring the service life of the main body 110. The guide rail 113 and the main body 110 may be integrally formed or may be separately formed, and the guide rail 113 may be fixed to the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 111 by welding, clamping, screwing, or the like. The pin 122 may be disposed on left and right side walls of the opening/closing door 120. The pin 122 and the switch door 120 may be detachably connected or fixedly connected. When the pin shaft 122 is detachably connected to the switch door 120, a fastening portion may be disposed on a sidewall of the switch door 120, and the pin shaft 122 is directly fastened to the fastening portion of the switch door 120 by disposing a matching portion on the pin shaft 122.

Of course, the pin 122 and the switch door 120 may be detachably connected by screws or other methods. It is understood that the diameter of the pin 122 should be smaller than the width of the guide channel 1131, so as to enable the pin 122 to slide smoothly along the extending direction of the guide channel 1131.

The switch door 120 is made to slide in the accommodating cavity 111 through the pin 122, so that compared with the case that the switch door 120 is slidably connected to the main body 110 along the inside and outside directions of the mounting opening 112 through the guide rail guide 1131 or in other ways, the structure of the switch door 120 is simpler, the overall weight of the switch door 120 is reduced, and the driving force required for driving the switch door 120 to translate can be reduced. Meanwhile, only the pin shaft 122 is arranged on the switch door 120, so that the wall thickness of the switch door 120 can be effectively reduced, the moving space required by the switch door 120 is small, the whole structure is more compact, and the size of the whole machine is favorably reduced. That is, compare and set up guide rail 113 on switch door 120, need not to consider the holistic travel space of moving of guide rail 113, and then make switch door 120 can inwards translate to basically with the back lateral wall face laminating that holds chamber 111, then can effectively reduce the space that holds chamber 111 for the complete machine structure is more compact, and the volume is littleer.

After the driving element 210 operates, the driving gear 221 of the driving gear set 220 drives the driven gear 222 to rotate, and further drives the swing arm 231 of the motion converter 230 to swing circumferentially, so that the positioning shaft 232 on the swing arm 231 is located in the sliding groove 121, and the force of the swing arm 231 acting on the opening/closing door 120 through the positioning shaft 232 can be divided into a first component force in the vertical direction and a second component force in the inward/outward direction of the mounting opening 112. The first component force drives the positioning shaft 232 to slide up and down in the sliding groove 121, and the second component force drives the pin shaft 122 on the switch door 120 to slide in the guide groove 1131 along the inside and outside directions of the mounting opening 112, so that the switch door 120 can translate in the inside and outside directions of the mounting opening 112. So, compare in the mode of the interior outer direction translation of the drive switch door 120 edge through connecting rod or other structures, this embodiment structure is more simple reliable, and occupation space is little for overall structure is more compact.

The horizontal segment 113a extends in a horizontal direction, that is, the extending direction of the horizontal segment 113a is consistent with the inside and outside direction of the mounting opening 112. The inclined section 113b extends toward a side away from the horizontal section 113a of 113a such that the inclined section 113b is disposed at an obtuse angle with the horizontal section 113a, and the inclined section 113b is disposed inwardly and upwardly or downwardly inclined from the horizontal section 113 a. Thus, when the driving member 210 drives the gear set 220 to rotate, and drives the motion converter 230 to move, so that the pin 122 of the opening/closing door 120 slides from the horizontal section 113a to the inclined section 113b, the opening/closing door 120 can be raised upward or lowered downward. In this way, when the opening and closing door 120 moves to the inclined section 113b, an accommodating space may be formed at the outer side of the accommodating cavity 111 corresponding to the inclined section 113b for installing other structures of the main body 100. Specifically, the inclined section 113b is disposed obliquely inward and upward from the horizontal section 113 a. The opening and closing door 120 is lifted up when moving from the horizontal section 113a to the inclined section 113b, and some other structures of the main body 100 may be installed below the opening and closing door 120 to prevent the opening and closing door 120 from interfering with the structures.
