[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] It should also be understood that the terms used in the present application specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the present application specification and the appended claims, unless otherwise clearly indicated by the context, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms.

[0047] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes these combinations.

[0048] Combination Figure 1As shown in the drawings, the fan blade of the embodiment of the present application comprises a hub 1 and a blade 2 connected to the hub 1, the blade 2 comprises an inner profile 21 and an outer profile 22, the inner profile 21 and the outer profile 22 are smoothly connected, and the vertical projection of the inner profile 21 and the outer profile 22 is an Archimedes spiral.

[0049] In the embodiment, for the fan with retractable fan blades, the fan blades are easily retracted by the integration of the hub 1 and the blade 2, the vertical projection of the inner profile 21 and the outer profile 22 of the fan blade is an Archimedes spiral, the length of the fan blade of the retractable fan is increased, the inner profile 21 and the outer profile 22 are smoothly connected, the air blowing of the fan is smooth, the noise generated by the fan is reduced, and the fan blade with the Archimedes spiral shape has the advantages of strong wind force, smooth and soft wind feeling, reduced noise and low energy consumption.

[0050] In combination with Figures 1-5 As shown in the drawings, the vertical projection cross-sectional width of the fan blade linearly increases from the hub 1 to the tail end 23 of the blade 2. In the embodiment, compared with the conventional suspension fan blade with consistent cross-sectional width, the linearly increased vertical projection cross-sectional width of the fan blade can make the fan blade have strong wind force and smooth air blowing.

[0051] Further, the fan blade as a whole is arc-shaped, and the fan blade gradually rises from the hub 1 to the tail end 23. In the embodiment, the gradually rising fan blade is conducive to the retraction of the fan blade, so that the tail end 23 of the fan blade with the Archimedes spiral shape can be retracted above the hub 1 of the adjacent fan blade, the unfolded length of the fan blade is increased, and the wind force is further enhanced.

[0052] Further, the rising angle of the inner profile 21 of the fan blade is greater than the rising angle of the outer profile 22 of the fan blade. In the embodiment, when the fan blade is retracted, the rising angle of the inner profile 21 of the fan blade is greater than the rising angle of the outer profile 22 of the fan blade, so that the inner profile 21 of the fan blade will not collide with the outer profile 22 of the adjacent fan blade, and the retraction of the fan blade is facilitated.

[0053] In combination with Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, the radius of the outer profile 22 of the fan blade is represented as: The radius of the inner profile 21 of the fan blade is represented as: Wherein, A is a constant, D is the diameter of the smallest circle of the outer profile 22 of the fan blade, r 外 is the distance from the point on the outer profile spiral to the pole point O, r 内 is the distance from the point on the inner profile spiral to the pole point O, θ 内 is the angle between the line connecting the point on the inner profile 21 of the fan blade and the pole point O and the horizontal pole axis, θ 外 is the angle between the line connecting the point on the outer profile 22 of the fan blade and the pole point O and the horizontal pole axis, π<θ 内 <2π, 3π<θ外 <4π. In this embodiment, the outer profile 22 of the fan blade lies on the Archimedes spiral line W, and the inner profile 21 of the fan blade lies on the Archimedes spiral line N. According to the Archimedes spiral line polar equation, the outer profile 22 of the fan blade is expressed as: The effective interval of the polar fan blade is set as π < θ 内 <2π, 3π < θ 外 <4π. The inner profile 21 of the fan blade is expressed as:

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the value of D can be set in advance according to the size of the fan folding, and the value of A can be obtained according to the expected fan blade width, 30mm < A < 100mm, 350mm < D < 520mm. The value of A affects the cross-sectional width of the fan blade, and the value of D affects the maximum size of the fan blade after folding. According to the values of A and D, the inner profile 21 and the outer profile 22 of the fan blade can be further determined. In a more specific embodiment, A is 50mm, and D is 400mm, which is suitable for fan blades in many cases.

[0055] Further, the vertical projection cross-sectional width d of the fan blade is: In this embodiment, because θ 外 = θ 内 + 2π, the vertical projection cross-sectional width d of the fan blade is:

[0056] As shown in Figures 7-9 , after the fan blade is folded, the outer profile 22 of the fan blade side view projection lies on a conical angle α, and the inner profile 21 of the fan blade side view projection lies on a conical angle β. α determines the upward angle trend of the outer profile 22 of the fan blade, and β determines the upward angle trend of the inner profile 21 of the fan blade. By adjusting α and β, the longitudinal shape of the blade 2 with different upward angle trends can be obtained, thereby determining the overall fan blade modeling.

[0057] As shown in Figures 10-15 , each angle cross-section of the fan blade is a wing section modeling. In this embodiment, the wing section modeling conforms to aerodynamics, so that the flow resistance of the fan blade is smaller, the rotation of the fan blade is smoother, and the noise is reduced.

[0058] The fan blade is arranged at angles from the head 1 to the tail end 23, and the cross-sections are A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D and E-E.

[0059] Specifically, the thickness of the fan blade gradually decreases from the head 1 to the tail end 23, and the turning angle of each angle longitudinal cross-section is in the range of 15°-45°.

[0060] In this embodiment, the thickness of the fan blade gradually decreases, which saves material under the premise of ensuring the strength of the blade, and this design conforms to aerodynamics, so that the fan blade receives smaller flow resistance. In a more specific embodiment, the thickness of the head 1 of the fan blade ranges from 3 to 5 mm, and the thickness of the tail end 23 ranges from 0.5 to 2 mm. The fan blade is respectively made of Figures 8-12 The left side of the section is the inlet end, and the right side is the outlet end. The tangent lines of the inlet end and the outlet end are drawn, respectively. Then, the perpendicular lines of the two tangent lines are drawn from the inlet end and the outlet end as the starting points. The intersection of the two perpendicular lines is the turning angle. The angles of the turning angles ∠A, ∠B, ∠C, ∠D, and ∠E gradually change gently, thereby reducing turbulence and smoothly transitioning airflow. Compared with the fan blades of existing fans, the noise generated is greatly reduced.

[0061] Further, the longitudinal section of each angle of the fan blade includes a first segment, a middle segment, and a tail segment from the head 1 to the tail end 23. The turning angle of the middle segment changes by 1°-3°, and the turning angles of the first segment and the tail segment change by 6°-17°. In this embodiment, the turning angles of the first segment and the tail segment change greatly, which conforms to aerodynamics and enhances the wind power of the fan blade.

[0062] As shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the thickness of the conventional blade is uniform. When air enters from the left and passes around the fan blade, a vortex is generated at the tail end of the fan blade, which not only produces noise but also causes unnecessary energy loss. The fan blade of the present application adopts a wing section design, and the thickness of the fan blade gradually decreases from the head to the tail, which smoothly transitions airflow and is similar to an airplane wing, thereby conforming to aerodynamics and greatly reducing noise generation.

[0063] As shown in Figure 18 , the present application further provides a fan device, which is a fan or a fan lamp. The fan device includes a fixing device 3, a fan head 4 rotatably connected to the fixing device 3, and at least two fan blades 5 as described above, the heads 1 of the at least two fan blades 5 being uniformly connected to the fan head 4. When it is a fan lamp, the fan head 4 further includes a lighting assembly, which can be arranged according to existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] In this embodiment, the existing fan or fan lamp fan blade has a sudden angle change, which generates turbulence. The fan blade 5 of the present application smoothly transitions the upward angle from the head 1 to the tail end 23, conforms to aerodynamics, and has uniform airflow, thereby blowing more gently. The cross section of the fan blade 5 is in the shape of a wing surface, which is smoothly integrated and transitions, solves the problems of high energy consumption and loud noise of the fan or fan lamp, and further enhances the wind power of the fan. In a specific embodiment, the fan uses three fan blades 5 uniformly connected to the fan head 4, and the design of the three fan blades 5 is more beautiful and practical.

[0065] In a further embodiment, the head 1 of the fan blade 5 is rotatably connected to the fan head 4.

[0066] In this embodiment, combined with Figures 19-22 As shown in the figure, taking D as 400mm, the diameter of the existing fan after the fan blade is unfolded is 825mm, and the diameter of the fan blade 5 of the fan of the present application after being unfolded is 910mm. Compared with the existing fan, the size of the fan blade 5 after being unfolded is larger, and the blowing area is increased under the condition that the folding size is the same.

[0067] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
