Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of bladeless fans, and in particular to the technical field of combined bladeless fans. [Background Technology]

[0002] Bladeless fans, also known as air multipliers, continuously produce cool air. With no exposed blades, they are less likely to injure children's fingers. Their simple and aesthetically pleasing design has made them increasingly popular. The principle behind bladeless fans is that, under specific conditions, a motor draws air into the base, then propels it out at high speed through a centrifugal or turbocharged air duct. The air circulates within the inner lip of the air ring, using this circulating force to draw air from the fan head into the air ring and blow it out at high speed. In other words, relatively small air disturbances can create a relatively large amount of air convection.

[0003] However, bladeless fans using this working principle, such as the bladeless fan with adjustable airflow (publication number CN215861025U), typically exhibit noticeable friction noise due to the longer air travel distance and the need for airflow circulation before exiting the fan, which can negatively impact the user experience. Furthermore, traditional bladeless fans produce relatively small air volumes, have limited air coverage, and generate a harsher breeze, making them insufficient to effectively replace traditional bladed fans and requiring further solutions. Moreover, existing bladeless fans are usually fixed in shape, preventing the creation of various configurations to meet specific needs. This necessitates the creation of a mold for each bladeless fan shape produced, consuming valuable factory inventory space and increasing production costs. Additionally, existing bladeless fans cannot achieve partial airflow while partially de-airing. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and propose a modular bladeless fan that is low in noise, can be freely assembled into various shapes as needed, and the opening and closing functions of each sub-fan are independent of each other, enabling the bladeless fan to achieve the function of partially airflow and partially no airflow.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a combined bladeless fan, comprising sub-fan bodies, each sub-fan body including a fan wheel and an air duct, the air duct including a fan housing and a sealing plate, the fan housing including a top plate and a surrounding plate, the surrounding plate being fixed to one side edge of the top plate, the outer wall of the surrounding plate having several air guide ports, insertion ports and air inlets, the sealing plate being installed on the other side of the surrounding plate and together with the fan housing forming an air cavity, the connection between the sealing plate and the surrounding plate having an air outlet gap, the fan wheel being installed at the air guide ports, the air ducts of several sub-fan bodies being able to be combined with each other so that the fan wheel is inserted into the air cavity of an adjacent sub-fan body along the insertion port, the fan wheel causing air to flow in from the air inlet of the inserted sub-fan body and then blow out from the air outlet gap of the sub-fan body.

[0006] Preferably, the wind turbine includes a shell, a support cylinder, support plates, fan blades, and a motor. The support cylinder is coaxially arranged in the shell through several support plates, and the motor is mounted on the support cylinder and can drive each fan blade to rotate.

[0007] Preferably, the shell includes a first straight cylindrical section, a horn-shaped section, a cylindrical connector, and a shell connector. The large end and small end of the horn-shaped section are respectively connected to the first straight cylindrical section and the cylindrical connector. The shell connector is fixed at the air duct. The cylindrical connector and the shell connector are detachably connected.

[0008] Preferably, the shell further includes a second straight section, which is installed at the other end of the first straight section. The first straight section can pass through the air guide, while the second straight section cannot pass through the air guide.

[0009] Preferably, the support cylinder is elastic and has several notches and several blades at one end near the air duct. The motor can be inserted into and fixed in the cylinder channel along the end of the support cylinder with several blades.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing sheet has a raised portion protruding towards the top plate, and the distance between the raised portion and the top plate gradually narrows from the air guide port to the air outlet gap.

[0011] Preferably, the air duct further includes an inner air ring, an inner support plate, an outer air ring, and an outer support plate. The inner air ring is coaxially arranged in the concave cavity of the protrusion through several inner support plates, and the outer air ring is coaxially arranged outside the enclosure plate through several outer support plates.

[0012] Preferably, the free end of the enclosure, the free end of the sealing plate, one end of the inner air ring, and one end of the outer air ring are located on the same plane.

[0013] Preferably, the shape of the air duct is semi-circular, semi-elliptical, triangular, rectangular, or polygonal.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0015] 1) The fan body is formed by setting up a fan wheel and a duct together, and the duct is formed by setting up a fan shell and a sealing plate together. The sealing plate is used to semi-close the opening of the fan shell and leave an air outlet gap. At the same time, several air guides, inlets and air inlets are set outside the fan shell. The fan wheel can send air into the air cavity of the duct and let the air out along the air outlet gap. The whole structure is without a wind ring, so there is no need for air to flow around the inner lip of the wind ring. This effectively avoids the noise caused by the friction between air and the fan, thus greatly improving the user experience. At the same time, the fan blades are still not visible on the air outlet side, maintaining a smooth and beautiful shape. The ducts of several fan bodies can be freely combined to form various shapes as needed, thereby reducing unnecessary mold opening, avoiding space waste and increased production costs. Furthermore, the opening and closing functions of each fan body are independent of each other, which allows the bladeless fan to achieve the function of partial air outlet and partial air outlet.

[0016] 2) By setting a protruding part on the sealing sheet that protrudes towards the top plate, the distance between the protruding part and the top plate gradually narrows from the air guide to the air outlet gap, which can gradually accelerate the air as it passes through the air cavity, thereby ensuring the air outlet strength.

[0017] 3) By adding an inner air ring and an outer air ring at the air outlet, the air can be made to vibrate the inner air ring and the outer air ring simultaneously when it flows out at high speed, thereby doubling the airflow and spreading the air outlet range, thus avoiding the problem of harsh wind caused by the airflow blowing strongly in a small area in the same direction.

[0018] 4) By setting the first straight section, the horn section, the cylinder joint and the shell joint together to form the shell, on the one hand, the contraction of the horn section can accelerate the speed of air entering the air cavity, and on the other hand, the detachable setting between the cylinder joint and the shell joint greatly improves the convenience of splicing.

[0019] 5) By adding a second straight section with a larger outer diameter at the other end of the first straight section, since the second straight section cannot pass through the air guide, it can effectively prevent the various assembled sub-fans from completely separating due to external factors such as vibration during use, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0020] 6) By setting several notches at one end of the flexible support cylinder near the air duct to form several blades, it is easy to quickly disassemble and assemble the motor.

[0021] The features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. [Attached Image Description]

[0036] See Figures 1 to 11The present invention relates to a combined bladeless fan, comprising a sub-fan body, wherein the sub-fan body includes a fan wheel 1 and an air duct 2, the air duct 2 includes a fan housing 21 and a sealing plate 22, the fan housing 21 includes a top plate 211 and a surrounding plate 212, the surrounding plate 212 is fixed to one side edge of the top plate 211, and the outer wall of the surrounding plate 212 is provided with a plurality of air guide ports 2121, insertion ports 2122 and air inlets 2123, the sealing plate 22 is installed on the other side of the surrounding plate 212 and together with the fan housing 21 to form an air cavity, and an air outlet gap is left at the connection between the sealing plate 22 and the surrounding plate 212, the fan wheel 1 is installed at the air guide port 2121, and the air ducts 2 of the plurality of sub-fan bodies can be combined with each other so that the fan wheel 1 is inserted into the air cavity of the adjacent sub-fan body along the insertion port 2122, the fan wheel 1 causes air to flow in from the air inlet 2123 of the inserted sub-fan body and then blow out from the air outlet gap of the sub-fan body.

[0037] The wind turbine 1 includes a shell 11, a support cylinder 12, a support plate 13, fan blades 14 and a motor 15. The support cylinder 12 is coaxially arranged in the shell 11 through several support plates 13. The motor 15 is mounted on the support cylinder 12 and can drive each fan blade 14 to rotate.

[0038] The shell 11 includes a first straight cylindrical section 111, a horn-shaped section 112, a cylindrical connector 113, and a shell connector 114. The large end and the small end of the horn-shaped section 112 are respectively connected to the first straight cylindrical section 111 and the cylindrical connector 113. The shell connector 114 is fixed at the air guide port 2121. The cylindrical connector 113 and the shell connector 114 are detachably connected.

[0039] The shell 11 also includes a second straight section 115, which is installed at the other end of the first straight section 111. The first straight section 111 can pass through the air guide 2121, while the second straight section 115 cannot pass through the air guide 2121.

[0040] The support cylinder 12 is elastic and has several notches 121 and several blades 122 at one end near the air duct 2. The motor 15 can be inserted into and fixed in the cylinder channel along the end of the support cylinder 12 with several blades 122.

[0041] The air casing 21 includes a top plate 211 and a surrounding plate 212. The surrounding plate 212 is fixed to one side edge of the top plate 211. Each of the air guides 2121, the inlets 2122 and the air inlets 2123 are located on the surrounding plate 212. The sealing plate 22 is connected to the surrounding plate 212.

[0042] The sealing sheet 22 is provided with a raised portion 221 protruding towards the top plate 211, and the distance between the raised portion 221 and the top plate 211 gradually narrows from the air guide 2121 to the air outlet gap.

[0043] The air duct 2 also includes an inner air ring 23, an inner support plate 24, an outer air ring 25, and an outer support plate 26. The inner air ring 23 is coaxially arranged in the cavity of the protrusion 221 through several inner support plates 24, and the outer air ring 25 is coaxially arranged outside the enclosure plate 212 through several outer support plates 26.

[0044] The free ends of the enclosure 212, the free ends of the sealing plate 22, one end of the inner air ring 23, and one end of the outer air ring 25 are located on the same plane.

[0045] The air duct 2 is semi-circular in shape.

[0046] Working process of this invention:

[0047] Taking a scenario where there are two sub-fans, with one sub-fan (hereinafter referred to as sub-fan 1) not supplying air while the other sub-fan (hereinafter referred to as sub-fan 2) supplies air, during operation, the motor 15 of sub-fan 2 drives its blades 14 to rotate. This causes outside air to first enter the air chamber of sub-fan 1 through the air inlet 2123, and then pass through the shell 11 of sub-fan 2 before entering the air chamber of sub-fan 2. At this time, because the distance between the protrusion 221 and the top plate 211 gradually narrows from the air guide 2121 to the air outlet gap, the airflow speed gradually increases as it flows from the air guide 2121 to the air outlet gap. When the high-speed airflow exits from the air outlet gap, it also drives the inner air ring 23 and the outer air ring 25 to move synchronously, thereby doubling the airflow, expanding the air outlet range, and making the wind force relatively softer and more natural.

[0048] In addition, the shapes of the air duct 2 of the No. 1 and No. 2 sub-fans can be different. For example, the shape of the air duct 2 of the No. 1 sub-fan is semi-circular while the shape of the air duct 2 of the No. 2 sub-fan is triangular, thus splicing together a teardrop-shaped bladeless fan.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] See Figure 12 The air duct 2 is triangular in shape.

[0051] Everything else is the same as in Example 1.

[0052] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
