Outlet vent controller of air conditioner
The present invention provides a grid controller set upon the through-slot at one side of the grid window on the panel, wherein said grid controller includes a sliding button and a shifting lever, said sliding button is set upon the through-slot, and said shifting lever is pivoted on the shoe plate, one end of the shifting lever appears in a gear section for meshing to the inner rack bar end of the sliding button, the another end is pivoted to the pitman arm linking with the blades. By means of the above-mentioned technique project, the gearing meshing structure of the sliding button and the shifting lever, the contacting area of the finger and the sliding button is increased to make the finger feel more comfortable as operating on the sliding button; as sliding the sliding button in seesaw motion for adjusting the open angle of the blades, the sliding button will not stretch out from the through-slot any more, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional products, meanwhile improve the effect of outward appearance and safety.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an outlet vent controller of air conditioner, and more particularly to an outlet vent controller that can adjust rate of discharge.
2. Description of Prior Art
So far, in the home or the office, the uniform chill or heat system is employed cooperating to each outlet vent located on every room, therein a grid window used for controlling the rate of discharge is built upon the outlet vent, as shown in
With reference to
But after studying the detail of the above-mentioned grid controller, there are following shortcomings existed:
-
- 1. because said actuating device is a dolly bar, as shifting it, the contacting area with the fingers is so small that bigger pressure exerts on the tips of fingers to make hand uncomfortable;
- 2. because the dolly arm is pivoted on the shoe plate, as shifting it downward or upward around the pivot point in the middle range, the outer tip end of the dolly bar will stretch out from the panel reaching longest, not only so as to affect exterior, but also easily to scratch human's body or face especially to children, because the panel is usually located on the wall about one meter above the ground.
It is therefore a main object of the present invention to provide an outlet vent controller operated easily without any danger of scratching occurred by the dolly bar.
For achieving the object, the present invention provides technique project is to set a grid controller on the through-slot at one side of the grid window on the panel, therein said grid controller includes a sliding button and a shifting lever gearing together replace of the conventional dolly bar, said sliding button is set upon the through-slot, and said shifting lever is pivoted on the shoe plate, one end of the shifting lever is in a gear section for gearing with the inner rack bar end of the sliding button, the another end is pivoted to the pitman arm linking with the blades.
Said sliding button has a pushing portion formed on the top end with a concave for facilitating to finger contacting.
Said concave of the sliding button is checked crossly into rose work for antiskid.
The back side of the sliding button is built upon with one or more meshing gears to from a rack bar.
Said sliding button has a couple of barbed catching dogs built upon the one side of the back side, thereby crossing the side of the through-slot for locating.
Said panel, coordinating to the barbed catching dogs, has a groove built upon the back side of the through-slot.
Said barbed catching dog has a step built upon the tip end for launching into the through-slot.
Said shifting lever has a circular head in one end for matching to the sliding button, on which meshing gear section is built on.
Said shifting lever has a pivoting slot built upon for pivoting to the shoe plate.
By means of the above-mentioned technique project, the gearing meshing structure of the sliding button and the shifting lever, the contacting area of the finger and the sliding button is increased, additionally cooperating to the checkered concave surface to make the finger feel more comfortable as operating on the sliding button; as sliding the sliding button in see-saw motion for adjusting the open angle of the blades, the sliding button will not stretch out from the through-slot any more, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional products, meanwhile improve the effect of outward appearance and safety.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
Said panel 1 has a vertical or horizontal grid 11 arranged and a through-slot 13 built upon beside the parallel side of the grid 11, and four shoe plates 12 built on the back side surrounding said grid 11, and a proper number of swing blades 2 pivoted on a pair of opposite shoe plates 12 with both ends of one side respectively, and a couple of pitman arms 4 separately linking the both ends of another side of every swing blade 2 to form a set;
The feather of the present invention is that the grid controller 3 is constituted of a sliding button 31 and a shifting lever 32;
Said sliding button 31, as shown in
Said shifting lever 32 has both circular heads, in which one matching to the rack bar 313 of said sliding button 31 is cut into meshing gear section 321 such as a gear; the another end is pivoted on the pitman arm 4 with a rivet 5 fitting into a pivot slot 322, meanwhile the shifting lever 32 is pivoted on the shoe plate 12.
In combination, as shown in
When tenting to open the grid, as shown in
Conversely, pushing the sliding button upward along the through-slot 13, the swing blades 2 will be closed, so the outlet vent is shut down too.
