The fan blade support assembly includes: a support base, the support base includes a support base body, and the support base body is provided with a support base hole; a support structure, provided in the support base hole, and the support structure is provided with a shaft hole; and a fan blade shaft, an end of the fan blade shaft is connected to a drive portion after passing through the shaft hole, and the fan blade shaft is movably provided relative to the support base, wherein, the fan blade shaft includes a first shaft section and a second shaft section connected with the first shaft section, and a diameter of the first shaft section is less than a diameter of the second shaft section.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fan blade support assembly for a fan blade, wherein the fan blade support assembly comprises:
a support base, wherein the support base comprises a support base body, and the support base body is provided with a support base hole;
a support structure, provided in the support base hole, and the support structure is provided with a shaft hole; and
a fan blade shaft, wherein, an end of the fan blade shaft is connected with a drive portion after passing through the shaft hole, and the fan blade shaft is movably provided relative to the support base, wherein, the fan blade shaft comprises a first shaft section and a second shaft section connected with the first shaft section, and a diameter of the first shaft section is less than a diameter of the second shaft section;
wherein the fan blade shaft is provided with a first position which can be driven by the drive portion and a second position separated from the drive portion, while the fan blade shaft is positioned in the first position, there is a gap between an outer wall surface of the first shaft section and an inner wall surface of the shaft hole, and when the fan blade shaft is positioned in the second position, the second shaft section is abutted against the inner wall surface of the shaft hole.

2. The fan blade support assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fan blade shaft further comprises a transition section disposed between the first shaft section and the second shaft section, from the first shaft section to the second shaft section, an outer diameter of the transition section is gradually increased.

3. The fan blade support assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support structure is a sleeve provided at an outer circumference of the fan blade shaft in a sleeving manner, an internal through hole of the sleeve forms the shaft hole, and the sleeve is an elastic part.

4. The fan blade support assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support structure is a sleeve provided at an outer circumference of the fan blade shaft in a sleeving manner, an internal through hole of the sleeve forms the shaft hole, and the sleeve is an elastic part.

5. An air duct assembly, the air duct assembly comprises an installing base, wherein the air duct assembly further comprises the fan blade support assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, the fan blade support assembly is installed on the installing base and a fan blade is connected with the fan blade shaft.

6. The air duct assembly as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the fan blade shaft is provided with an axial hole, a motor shaft of the drive portion is inserted into the axial hole, so as to connect the drive portion and the fan blade shaft.

7. The air duct assembly as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the axial hole passes through the first shaft section and the second shaft section.

8. The air duct assembly as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the fan blade shaft is further provided with a radial hole communicated with the axial hole, the air duct assembly further comprises a locking part, the locking part passes through the radial hole and abuts against the motor shaft, so that the motor shaft is locked on the fan blade shaft.

9. The air duct assembly as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the radial hole is disposed in the second shaft section.

10. An air conditioner, comprising a housing and the air duct assembly as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the air duct assembly is installed in the housing.

11. The air duct assembly as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the fan blade shaft further comprises a transition section disposed between the first shaft section and the second shaft section, from the first shaft section to the second shaft section, an outer diameter of the transition section is gradually increased.

12. The air duct assembly as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the support structure is a sleeve provided at an outer circumference of the fan blade shaft in a sleeving manner, an internal through hole of the sleeve forms the shaft hole, and the sleeve is an elastic part.

13. A fan support assembly for a fan blade, wherein the fan blade support assembly comprises:
a support base, wherein the support base comprises a support base body, and the support base body is provided with a support base hole;
a support structure, provided in the support base hole, and the support structure is provided with a shaft hole; and
a fan blade shaft, wherein, an end of the fan blade shaft is connected with a drive portion after passing through the shaft hole, and the fan blade shaft is movably provided relative to the support base, wherein, the fan blade shaft comprises a first shaft section and a second shaft section connected with the first shaft section, and a diameter of the first shaft section is less than a diameter of the second shaft section, wherein the fan blade shaft further comprises a transition section disposed between the first shaft section and the second shaft section, from the first shaft section to the second shaft section, an outer diameter of the transition section is gradually increased, the fan blade shaft is provided with a first position and a second position, when the fan blade shaft is positioned in the first position, there is a gap between an outer wall surface of the first shaft section and an inner wall surface of the shaft hole; and when the fan blade shaft is positioned in the second position, the transition section is abutted against the inner wall surface of the shaft hole.

14. The fan blade support assembly as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the support structure is a sleeve provided at an outer circumference of the fan blade shaft in a sleeving manner, an internal through hole of the sleeve forms the shaft hole, and the sleeve is an elastic part.
