Abstract
An airflow guiding mechanism includes a housing and a shielding assembly. The housing includes an airflow guiding portion and a guiding track. The shielding assembly is movably connected to the guiding track. The shielding assembly is able to move within the airflow guiding portion along the guiding track. In an embodiment, the shielding assembly may include a first shielding plate and at least one second shielding plate. The first shielding plate is connected to the housing. The at least one second shielding plate and the first shielding plate are movably connected to each other. The at least one second shielding plate are able to move with respect to each other to be folded and unfolded, so as to open and shield the airflow guiding portion.
Claims9
An airflow guiding mechanism comprising:
- a housing comprising an airflow guiding portion and a guiding track;
