Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing, and in particular to a fan-shaped garment. Background Technology

[0002] Fan-cooled clothing is a type of garment equipped with a built-in fan, allowing users to cool themselves by blowing air onto their body using the miniature fan. An example is the air-conditioned garment disclosed in application number 201920284746.8. However, current fan-cooled clothing has a problem: when the fan blows air directly onto the wearer's body inside the garment, the air is then refracted back into the inner layer of the garment, causing it to bulge. This bulge also creates a large gap at the hem, allowing airflow to escape along the hem, resulting in less airflow felt on the upper body and affecting the wearer's appearance. Another problem is the current method of securing the fan to the garment. This involves creating a circular hole in the fabric with a diameter similar to the fan, inserting the fan from the outside, and then clamping it to the inside of the fabric using a retaining ring. This method is unstable, allowing the fan to easily detach from the garment and causing the fabric to fold and become uneven when worn. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a fan-operated garment that prevents clothing from billowing, allows airflow to be evenly distributed across the wearer's body surface, and facilitates the easy assembly and disassembly of the fan.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the problem is: a fan-shaped garment, comprising:

[0005] The garment body includes an inner breathable layer and an outer surface layer, with an interlayer formed between the inner breathable layer and the outer surface layer. A hollow support plate is disposed within the interlayer, and an airflow guiding channel penetrating the four sides and inner surface is disposed within the hollow support plate. The garment body has mounting holes, and a cavity shell is fixedly installed within the mounting holes. The cavity shell has a mounting cavity, and a main air inlet is disposed on the outer end face of the cavity shell, communicating with the outer side of the garment body and extending to the front end of the mounting cavity. The cavity shell has an opening communicating with the mounting cavity, and a first connecting main position is disposed on the opening. A side air outlet facing the airflow guiding channel is disposed on the side wall of the mounting hole. The cavity shell also includes a fan blade mounting component, on which a micro motor is mounted. A guide fan connected to the output end of the micro motor is disposed on the inner side of the fan blade mounting component. A first connecting sub-position is disposed on the fan blade mounting component, which is movably connected to the first connecting main position so that the guide fan is inserted into the mounting cavity along the opening.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the guide fan is a centrifugal impeller that blows air outwards.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the vertical distance between the edge of the centrifugal impeller and the inner wall of the mounting cavity gradually increases as the wind flows to the side outlet.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the inner end face of the cavity shell is provided with a secondary air inlet that is connected to the rear end of the mounting cavity and communicates with the inner side of the garment body.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the opening is located on the outer end face of the cavity shell, the main air inlet is located in the middle of the fan blade mounting component, the main air inlet is provided with a mounting plate in the middle, the mounting plate is provided with several connecting ribs connected to the edge of the main air inlet around its periphery, and the micro motor is installed on the inner side of the mounting plate.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the outer end face of the fan blade mounting component is provided with a second connecting main position, and a dust cover covering the outside of the main air inlet is installed on the outer end face of the fan blade mounting component through the second connecting main position. The dust cover is provided with a number of ventilation holes smaller than the main air inlet.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the cavity shell is located at the lower end of the garment body, and the side air outlet is located at the top of the cavity shell.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the hollow support plate is made of 3D cotton.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the hollow support plate includes a front plate located inside the inner breathable layer and a rear plate located inside the outer surface layer. The front plate is provided with a plurality of breathable holes, and a plurality of support connecting columns are provided between the front plate and the rear plate. An air guiding gap is formed between adjacent support connecting columns, and the air guiding gap and the breathable holes together form the airflow guiding channel.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the cavity shell is provided with an inner wall panel located on the inner surface of the garment body and an outer wall panel located on the outer surface of the garment body. The inner wall panel and the outer surface of the inner breathable layer and the outer wall panel and the outer surface of the outer surface layer are fixed together by hot pressing.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By fixing the cavity shell to the garment body, the garment body includes an inner breathable layer, an outer surface layer, and a hollow support plate sandwiched between the inner breathable layer and the outer surface layer. The hollow support plate has an airflow guiding channel penetrating the four sides and the inner surface. The cavity shell has an installation cavity, and the side wall of the installation cavity has a side air outlet facing the airflow guiding channel. The fan blade mounting component drives a micro motor and a guide fan to be installed on the cavity shell, thereby inserting the guide fan into the installation cavity. This makes assembly and disassembly more convenient. Through the quick-connect action of the first connecting main position and the first connecting secondary position, the cavity shell is directly fixed to the garment body. The airflow deflector is not easily detached from the garment during wear. The airflow generated by the deflector blows out along the side vents, and then evenly enters the hollow support plate through the airflow guide channel. It is then transmitted to the garment through the inner side of the hollow support plate and the inner breathable layer. Due to the rigidity of the hollow support plate itself, it shapes the garment, and its weight also pulls the garment down, thus preventing it from billowing when the deflector is working. At the same time, the airflow guide channel can better distribute the airflow evenly to all parts of the garment, allowing the wearer to enjoy a larger area of ​​cooling effect.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A fan-shaped garment, comprising:

[0028] The garment body 10 includes an inner breathable layer 12 and an outer surface layer 11, forming a sandwich layer between the inner breathable layer 12 and the outer surface layer 11. A hollow support plate 20 is disposed within the sandwich layer. An airflow guiding channel is provided within the hollow support plate 20, penetrating the four sides and the inner side (the inner side refers to the side of the hollow support plate 20 closest to the inner breathable layer 12). The garment body 10 has mounting holes, within which a cavity shell 30 is fixedly installed. A mounting cavity 31 is provided within the cavity shell 30. A main air inlet 41, communicating with the outer side of the garment body 10 and extending to the front end of the mounting cavity 31, is provided on the outer end face of the cavity shell 30. An opening communicating with the mounting cavity 31 is provided on the opening, and a first connecting main position is provided on the opening. The side wall of the mounting hole (the side wall here refers to the inner wall other than the front and rear ends of the mounting hole, and the front end of the mounting cavity 31 refers to the end of the mounting cavity 31 near the outside of the clothing body 10) is provided with a side air outlet 32 ​​facing the airflow guiding channel. The cavity shell 30 also includes a fan blade mounting component 40, on which a micro motor 60 is mounted. A guide fan connected to the output end of the micro motor 60 is provided on the inner side of the fan blade mounting component 40. A first connecting sub-position is provided on the fan blade mounting component 40 to be movably connected to the first connecting main position so that the guide fan is inserted into the mounting cavity 31 along the opening.

[0029] By fixing the cavity shell 30 to the garment body 10, the garment body 10 includes an inner breathable layer 12, an outer surface layer 11, and a hollow support plate 20 sandwiched between the inner breathable layer 12 and the outer surface layer 11. An airflow guiding channel is provided within the hollow support plate, penetrating the four sides and the inner surface. An installation cavity 31 is provided within the cavity shell 30. A side air outlet 32 ​​is provided on the side wall of the installation cavity 31, facing the airflow guiding channel. The fan blade mounting component 40 drives the micro motor 60 and the guide fan to be installed on the cavity shell 30, thereby inserting the guide fan into the installation cavity 31. This makes assembly and disassembly more convenient. Through the quick-connect action of the first connecting main position and the first connecting sub-position, the cavity shell 30 is directly fixed to the garment body 10. On the 0, the air guide fan is not easy to fall off the garment body 10 during the wearing process. The airflow generated by the air guide fan blows out along the side air outlet 32, and then enters the hollow support plate 20 evenly through the airflow guide channel along the side. It is then transmitted to the garment body 10 through the inner side of the hollow support plate 20 and the inner breathable layer 12. Due to the rigidity of the hollow support plate itself, it will shape the garment body 10. At the same time, its gravity will also pull the garment body 10 to hang down, thus preventing the garment body 10 from puffing up when the air guide fan is working. At the same time, the function of the airflow guide channel can better distribute the airflow evenly to all parts of the garment body 10, so that the wearer can enjoy a larger area of ​​cooling effect.

[0030] Further optimization is preferred, where the guide fan is a centrifugal impeller 50 that blows air outwards, thus effectively directing the airflow towards the side outlet 32 ​​on the side of the mounting cavity 31. Preferably, the vertical distance from the edge of the centrifugal impeller 50 to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 31 gradually increases as the airflow direction increases towards the side outlet 32. This allows for better guidance of the generated airflow. Preferably, the increase in the vertical distance from the edge of the centrifugal impeller 50 to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 31 follows an involute formula.

[0031] Further optimization involves providing a secondary air inlet 33 on the inner end face of the cavity shell 30, which communicates with the rear end of the mounting cavity 31 and the inner side of the garment body 10. This allows for the reuse of the air blown into the inner side of the garment body 10. The centrifugal impeller 50 draws air from both the outside and inside of the garment body 10 into the mounting cavity 31, and then blows it into the hollow support plate 20 along the side outlet 32 ​​on the side of the mounting cavity 31.

[0032] In a further optimization, the opening is preferably located on the outer end face of the cavity shell 30, the main air inlet 41 is located in the middle of the fan blade mounting member 40, and a mounting plate 42 is provided in the middle of the main air inlet 41. Several connecting ribs 43 connected to the edge of the main air inlet 41 are provided around the mounting plate 42. The micro motor 60 is mounted inside the mounting plate 42, so that the fan blade mounting member 40 can be mounted onto the cavity shell 30 from the outside of the garment body 10 after the garment body 10 has been worn. In other embodiments, the opening can also be located on the inner end face of the cavity shell 30. In this case, the fan blade mounting member 40 needs to be mounted onto the cavity shell 30 before wearing the garment body 10.

[0033] Further optimization is preferred, with a second connecting main position 45 provided on the outer end face of the fan blade mounting component 40. A dust cover 70 covering the outside of the main air inlet 41 is installed on the outer end face of the fan blade mounting component 40 through the second connecting main position 45. The dust cover 70 is provided with a number of ventilation holes smaller than the main air inlet 41, thereby playing a further protective role.

[0034] Further optimization is preferred, with the hollow support plate 20 preferably made of 3D cotton.

[0035] Preferably, the hollow support plate 20 includes a front plate 21 located inside the inner breathable layer 12 and a rear plate 22 located inside the outer surface layer 11. The front plate 21 has several breathable holes, and several supporting connecting columns 23 are provided between the front plate 21 and the rear plate 22. Air guide gaps are formed between adjacent supporting connecting columns 23, and these air guide gaps, together with the breathable holes, form the airflow guiding channel. In other embodiments, the hollow support plate 20 can also be supported by other materials, such as silicone. The hollow support plate 20 can also be implemented in other forms, such as a honeycomb structure. Each inner wall of the honeycomb structure has perforations connecting two adjacent honeycomb holes, thereby forming the airflow guiding channel through the perforations and the densely packed honeycomb holes.

[0036] Further optimization involves the cavity shell 30 preferably having an inner wall panel located on the inner surface of the garment body 10 and an outer wall panel located on the outer surface of the garment body 10. The inner wall panel is integrally fixed to the outer surface of the inner breathable layer 12 and the outer wall panel is integrally fixed to the outer surface of the outer surface layer 11 by heat pressing. In other methods, the inner wall panel can also be fixed to the outer surface of the inner breathable layer 12 and the outer wall panel can also be fixed to the outer surface of the outer surface layer 11 by sewing.

[0037] In this design, the outer surface layer 11 is preferably made of windproof fabric to prevent airflow inside the hollow support plate 20 from flowing through the outer surface layer 11 to the outside of the garment body 10.

[0038] In the above scheme, the first main connecting position is preferably a first main thread 34, and the first secondary connecting position is preferably a first secondary thread 44, thereby fixing the fan blade mounting component 40 to the cavity shell 30 through the screwing action of the first main thread 34 and the first secondary thread 44. Similarly, the second main connecting position 45 is also preferably threaded. In other embodiments, the first main connecting position and the first secondary connecting position can be implemented as an elastic snap and a corresponding snap pin, or as a pair of strong magnets. The implementation of the second main connecting position 45 is similar.

[0039] Preferably, an annular platform is provided at the opening, the first main thread 34 is arranged on the outer surface of the annular platform, and the first secondary thread 44 is directly provided on the inner edge of the air inlet hole.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
