Description

field of technology

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bladeless fans, in particular a foldable and collapsible bladeless fan that can be easily disassembled. State of the art

[0002] A bladeless fan, also known as an air amplifier, creates a natural and continuous flow of cool air. Because it has no rotor blades, it doesn't collect dust and can't cause injury from children's fingers. Its unusual shape, with a streamlined yet elegant appearance, is particularly noteworthy.

[0003] However, according to the current state of the art, bladeless fans have the following disadvantages: Non-foldable: In conventional bladeless fans, the air outlet ring and the base are often permanently connected, resulting in a large overall volume. They take up a lot of space when stored and are neither easy to transport nor space-saving to store (e.g., for seasonal storage in the home, during transport, or when used in small apartments).

[0004] Limited air outlet angle: Most bladeless fans can only adjust the air outlet angle by horizontal rotation, without allowing adjustment of the tilt angle (up or down). This makes it difficult to implement various application scenarios (such as direct airflow onto a tabletop or supplying air to higher areas).

[0005] Insufficient structural stability: In some bladeless fans with adjustable angles, the connecting structure tends to loosen after repeated adjustments, leading to unstable angle fixation and impairing ease of use.

[0006] Difficult maintenance of the air outlet: When the air outlet needs to be replaced or cleaned, it is often necessary to completely disassemble the device in order to separate the U-shaped air outlet pipe, which is very cumbersome. Content of the utility model
