Abstract
A drive mechanism is configured to drive a movable member of an air conditioner. The drive mechanism includes a motor, a pinion secured to a rotating shaft of the motor, a rack meshing with the pinion, and a guide. The rack has a driven portion directly or indirectly linked to the movable member. The guide is arranged to guide the rack so that the driven portion can travel in a curved path. The guide has a tube part through which the rack passes.
