[0043] Example 1

[0044] Currently on the market, most fans use a single shaking motor to achieve a single shaking motion. Since a shaking motor can only control left and right shaking or up and down shaking motion, when the fan needs to shake left and right and up and down simultaneously, two shaking motors are required, the structural design is complex and the product cost is high.

[0047] The housing specifically includes a front net 1 and a rear net 2 , and a main motor 4 is disposed in a motor housing 5 .

[0048] The fan provided in this embodiment can drive the fan blades 3 to rotate when the main motor 4 is working, so as to realize the normal blowing function of the fan. When the head needs to be pitched, the pitch angle of the head can be adjusted manually. When the head is adjusting the pitch angle, since the shaking motor 6 is connected to the cover, it will move along an arc track in the vertical plane with the head relative to the base structure. When the shaking motor 6 is working, when the pitch angle of the head is less than 90 degrees, the shaking motor 6 drives the head to shake left and right. When the pitch angle of the head is equal to 90 degrees, the shaking motor 6 drives the head to pitch and shake in the vertical plane. The head can swing at any pitch angle, so as to realize stepless pitch angle adjustment and shaking. Therefore, the fan provided in this embodiment only needs to be provided with one shaking motor 6, which can realize left and right shaking and up and down pitching, and has a simple structure and low cost.
