20200116385 · 2020-04-16 ·

A window-shades mechanism with an anti-backflow function is applied to a fan device and an electronic apparatus. The window-shades mechanism includes a supporter, a blade, a shaft and a connecting rod. The blade is disposed inside the supporter and includes two sides. Each side includes a first region and a second region. The shaft is connected to the supporter and the blade. The connecting rod is connected to the second region on the side of the blade. The connecting rod has a holding portion. When the connecting rod is moved by the holding portion, the blade is driven to rotate relative to the supporter via the shaft.

Damper with adjustable resistance to blade motion

A damper regulator for controlling the opening/closing characteristics of an HVAC damper has a swing arm coupled to the shaft on which the damper pivots. The swing arm has an arm carriage mounted to translate on the swing arm as the swing arm pivots, and a biasing spring connects the arm carriage to the damper regulator's housing, or to another suitable anchor. The translation of the arm carriage effectively adapts the characteristics of the biasing spring so that the damper need not be subjected to ever-increasing pressure to achieve greater airflow, or so that other damper opening characteristics can be achieved.

Air flap device

An air flap device comprises a housing with an air flow passage section. At least one air flap is mounted on a first and on a second mounting point on the housing. The second mounting point is located at an axial distance from the first mounting point. The air flap is rotatable around the pivot axis defining the axial direction. By pivoting the at least one air flap relative to the housing, the effective flow cross-section of the air flow passage section can be modified. The air flap(s) is mounted on the mounting points with an axial play relative to the housing. At least one spring assembly is arranged such that at least one part of an axial movement of the air flap(s) occurs within its play relative to the housing in the direction of the first or/and the second mounting point, against a pre-tensioning effect of the spring assembly.

Method and apparatus for parking a return spring HVAC actuator at a closed position

An HVAC actuator that includes a motor to assist in driving an HVAC component between a first end stop and a second end stop, a return spring configured to provide a bias force toward the second end stop, and a controller operatively coupled to the motor. The controller may store a predetermined zero position that corresponds to the position of the HVAC component that results when the HVAC component is allowed to come to rest against the second end stop under the influence of the bias force of the return spring while the motor is interrupted from controlling the position and speed of the HVAC component. The controller may be configured to remove drive power to the motor before the HVAC component 14 reaches the predetermined zero position, allowing the return spring to gently park the HVAC component on the send end stop.
