Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household fan equipment technology, and in particular to an air outlet structure and a fan. Background Technology

[0002] A fan with humidification function can provide mist through a humidification structure while blowing air, and then diffuse the mist into the usage environment through the airflow of the fan to meet various user needs.

[0003] However, the operation display area of ​​existing humidifying fans is usually located on the top of the head or the body. When the operation display is placed on the body, it requires bending over to operate, while also taking into account the mist channel structure, which makes the appearance of the body very bulky. When the operation display is placed on the top of the head, it is difficult to see the display content clearly, resulting in a poor experience and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0040] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0041] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0043] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0044] As shown in the background technology, a fan with humidification function needs to humidify and produce mist while normally blowing air to diffuse the humidified mist. However, in general, the operation display area of ​​a fan with humidification function is located on the top of the head or the body of the machine. The operator either needs to look up or bend over, and the overall structural layout is unreasonable, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0045] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an air outlet structure that can be used on fans with humidification functions for both air and mist output, and can also be used on other air outlet devices; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0046] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 4 The air outlet structure 100 of this application includes a head unit 10 and a panel assembly 20. The head unit 10 includes a first housing 11 and a fan 12. The fan 12 is disposed inside the first housing 11. The air outlet filter 112 has a central region 112a and an air outlet region 112b surrounding the central region 112a. The fan 12 outlets air through the air outlet region 112b. The panel assembly 20 is assembled in the central region 112a. The panel assembly 20 includes a display operation panel 211 and an end mist outlet 212 surrounding the display operation panel 211. The air outlet structure 100 is inside the head unit 10 and has a mist guiding channel 31. One end of the mist guiding channel 31 is connected to the end mist outlet 212.

[0047] The fan 12 includes a motor 122 and a fan blade 121. The motor 122 has a motor shaft 1221. (See reference...) Figure 5The fan blade 121 has a fan blade hole 1211. The motor shaft 1221 passes through the fan blade hole 1211 and is then assembled. The first screw post 1222 on the motor 122 is then assembled to the first housing 11 by screwing, thus fixing the fan 12. When the motor 122 is working, the fan blade 121 rotates circumferentially and discharges air through the air outlet area 112b, allowing the user to obtain airflow from one side of the air outlet filter 112.

[0048] Meanwhile, a panel assembly 20 is installed in the central area 112a of the air outlet filter 112. The panel assembly 20 has two functions: one is to provide a display operation panel 211, which may have a button area, display screen and other function settings, so that the user can control the head unit 10 or know the current gear of the head unit 10. The end mist outlet 212 surrounding the display operation panel 211 can pass the humidified mist in the mist guiding channel 31 in the head unit 10 out and diffuse it through the air outlet area 112b.

[0049] Understandably, one end of the mist guiding channel 31 can be connected to an external humidifier or humidification structure to allow mist to pass into the head unit 10 and air to be discharged through the end mist outlet 212.

[0050] Thus, the air outlet structure 100 provided in this application can utilize the panel assembly 20-area design to integrate the display operation panel 211 and the terminal mist outlet 212 for misting, so that the user does not need to bend over to operate it, and can directly look at the user's eyes, resulting in a better operating experience.

[0051] Furthermore, when the terminal mist outlet 212 is positioned at the center of the front of the head 10, the visual effect of the mist output is excellent, and it is less prone to backflow and condensation problems. The overall aesthetics are strong, the overall space utilization is high, and it can be integrated with the display and control area, improving the user experience.

[0052] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 2 The head unit 10 includes a duct component 111 surrounding the fan 12, and an air outlet filter 112 is located on one axial side of the duct component 111. When the motor 122 is working, the fan blade 121 rotates and forms an air duct inside the duct component 111.

[0053] Understandably, at this time, the fan 12 discharges air along the axial direction of the air duct 111, such as... Figure 3 In the middle, with the axial direction being L, the head unit 10 also includes a rear screen 113 and a filter element 114. The rear screen 113 is located on the other side of the axial direction of the air duct component 111 for air intake, and the filter element 114 is located on the side of the rear screen 113 facing the inside of the air duct component 111 for filtering the air entering the air duct component 111 from the rear screen 113.

[0054] Generally, the air duct component 111 has a hollow barrel-shaped structure and can be provided with various connection structures to achieve fixed connection with other structures. The specific arrangement will be described in detail below. Furthermore, the exhaust filter 112 has a through hole in the central region 112a, and the panel assembly 20 is fixed in this through hole to achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0055] In one embodiment, the display operation panel 211 protrudes from the air duct 111 along the axial direction of the air duct 111. When the user operates the display operation panel 211, the distance from the fan 12 is relatively far, which improves the user's safety.

[0056] Furthermore, the end mist outlet 212 and the display operation panel 211 face the same side. Users can obtain mist through the end mist outlet 212. In this way, when a person's face is facing the display operation panel 211, the mist can flow directly towards one side of the person's face, improving the user experience.

[0057] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 1 and Figure 6 The air outlet structure 100 includes an air guide 30, which is disposed in the air duct 111. The air guide 30 includes a first guide section 311 and a second guide section 312 that are intersecting and connected. The first guide section 311 and the second guide section 312 are connected to form a mist guiding channel 31.

[0058] The end of the first guide section 311 away from the second guide section 312 forms a first mist inlet 32 ​​that communicates with the mist guiding channel 31. The end of the second guide section 312 away from the first guide section 311 has a mist outlet 33 that communicates with the mist guiding channel 31. The mist outlet 33 communicates with the end mist outlet 212.

[0059] The first mist inlet 32 ​​is used to guide the mist generated by the humidifier or humidification structure into the mist guiding channel 31, thereby entering the inside of the head 10. Guided by the mist guiding channel 31, the mist flows to the mist outlet 33, thereby realizing the air outlet from the panel assembly 20.

[0060] Because of the intersecting arrangement of the first guide section 311 and the second guide section 312, the mist entering the mist guide channel 31 from the first mist inlet 32 ​​cannot flow in a set direction, that is, it must turn. This avoids the arrangement of the mist guide channel 31 causing the space in a certain direction of the machine head 10 to be too long, thereby affecting the overall structural compactness.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the first mist inlet 32 ​​can input mist into the first guide section 311 along the axial direction of the air duct 111, and then the mist flows radially into the second guide section 312 along the air duct 111. Finally, the mist is guided into the panel assembly 20 through the mist outlet 33. In this way, the overall volume occupied by the air guide 30 is divided in multiple directions, thereby ensuring structural compactness.

[0062] In one embodiment, along the axial direction of the air duct 111, a second guide section 312 is disposed between the air outlet filter 112 and the fan 12.

[0063] Please refer to the following: Figures 7 to 8 The air duct component 111, the outlet filter 112, the rear screen 113, the filter element 114, and the fan 12 are assembled into one unit. During assembly, the first screw post 1222 on the motor 122 is screwed into the screw hole 1115 located at the axial center of the air duct component 111, thereby fixing the motor 122. Next, the fan blade hole 1211 on the fan blade 121 is assembled onto the motor shaft 1221 on the motor 122, and the thread on the fan blade knob 123 is screwed into the motor 122, thereby fixing the fan blade 121. Then, the filter element 114 is assembled onto the annular limiting groove 1116 formed on one axial side of the air duct component 111, and the third clip 22241131 on the rear screen 113 is screwed into the second clip 1114 of the air duct component 111, thereby fixing the filter element 114 and the rear screen 113.

[0064] Since the air duct component 111 has various fixing structures, in order to ensure a neat and beautiful appearance, semi-arc-shaped upper decorative panel 116 and lower decorative panel 117 can be installed on both radial sides of the air duct component 111. The upper decorative panel 116 and lower decorative panel 117 are provided with first buckles 1161. The upper decorative panel 116 and lower decorative panel 117 are fastened to the retaining ribs 1112 on the outer surface of the air duct component 111. Finally, the second buckle 1121 on the outer edge of the air outlet filter 112 is screwed into the first retaining groove 1113 on the outer edge of the air duct component 111, thus completing the fixing of all structures.

[0065] Thus, after the air duct component 111 is assembled with the outlet filter 112, rear filter 113, filter element 114, and fan 12, there is no structure between the fan blade 121 and the outlet filter 112, and the fan blade 121 and the outlet filter 112 are at a certain distance in the axial direction of the air duct component 111 to avoid the outlet filter 112 affecting the rotation of the fan blade 121.

[0066] Based on this, the structure between the fan blade 121 and the air outlet filter 112 is utilized to a certain extent, and the second guide section 312 is set between the fan blade 121 and the air outlet filter 112 and abuts against the air outlet filter 112, so that the axial length of the head 10 will not be greatly changed due to the setting of the mist guide channel 31.

[0067] Understandably, after the second guide section 312 is installed, it is necessary to ensure a safe distance between the second guide section 312 and the fan blade 121, as well as between the air outlet filter 112 and the fan blade 121.

[0068] In one embodiment, the airflow path in the mist guide channel 31 can be zigzag. For example, the airflow first enters from the first mist inlet 32 ​​radially (with the direction based on the air duct 111), then turns and flows axially in the first guide section 311, then turns again and flows radially in the second guide section 312, then turns again and enters the end mist outlet 212 through the mist outlet 33 to achieve axial mist discharge.

[0069] In one embodiment, see [reference] Figure 4 and Figures 9 to 11 The panel assembly 20 includes a fog outlet cover 21 and a display control component 22. The fog outlet cover 21 is fixed to the central region 112a and has an end fog outlet 212 and a display operation panel 211. The display operation panel 211 has a display area and a button area. The display control component 22 is assembled inside the fog outlet cover 21 and is used to control the display area and the button area accordingly.

[0070] The interior of the fog cover 21 can form a mounting groove that communicates with both the display area and the button area. The display control component 22 is assembled in the mounting groove, and the structures with different control functions are respectively assembled to the display area and the button area, thereby realizing the display function and the button function respectively.

[0071] Specifically, the display control component 22 includes a control board 221 and a lamp cover 222. The control board 221 has a control function, thereby controlling multiple lamp heads 2213. During the assembly process, the fourth buckle 2224 in the lamp cover 222 is first tightened onto the third slot 2214 of the control board 221, and the touch spring 2212 on the control board 221 is assembled into the first through hole 2221 on the lamp cover 222, so that the lamp head 2213 is assembled into the lamp tube 2223, thereby pre-fixing the lamp cover 222. Then, the control board 221 and the lamp cover 222 are assembled into the fog cover 21, so that the lamp head 2213 is aligned with the display area, and the second connecting hole 2211 on the control board 221, the second through hole 2222 on the lamp cover 222, and the second screw post 213 on the fog cover 21 are fixedly connected by screws, thereby completing the assembly of the display control component 22 and the fog component.

[0072] Similarly, the control panel 221 is equipped with buttons. When the user presses a button in the button area, the control panel 221 executes the corresponding command and displays it in the display area.

[0073] Furthermore, after the display control component 22 and the mist outlet cover 21 are assembled, the air guide component 30 can be assembled. In one specific embodiment, the air guide component 30 is assembled into the third through hole 1111 formed on the second housing 216 of the air duct component 111, and the first connecting hole 34 of the air guide component 30 and the fourth connecting hole 1118 opened in the second housing 216 of the air duct component 111 are fixedly connected by screws, thereby fixing the air guide component 30.

[0074] In one embodiment, the fog cover 21 includes a second housing 216 surrounding the display operation panel 211. The display operation panel 211 is connected to the second housing 216. The second housing 216 is fixed to the air filter 112, and an end fog outlet 212 is formed between the second housing 216 and the display operation panel 211.

[0075] The outer periphery of the display operation panel 211 in the thickness direction is spaced apart from the second housing 216, and the display operation panel 211 is connected to the second housing 216 through other structures. After the second housing 216 is assembled into the central region 112a of the air outlet filter 112, the display operation panel 211 is fixed in the central region 112a of the air outlet filter 112. In this way, mist is emitted through the end mist outlet 212 between the outer periphery of the display operation panel 211 and the side of the second housing 216 facing the display operation panel 211.

[0076] Understandably, the terminal mist outlet 212 can be arranged around the display and operation panel 211 or partially around it, and its specific length is not limited.

[0077] Thus, the integration of fogging and display operation is achieved through the second housing 216, the display operation panel 211, and the display control unit 22.

[0078] In one embodiment, the fog cover 21 further includes a docking portion 218 and a flow guiding portion 217, both of which are disposed between the second housing 216 and the display operation panel 211.

[0079] One end of the guide section 217 is connected to the mist channel 31. The guide section 217 is connected between the docking section 218 and the end mist outlet 212, and the airflow direction in the guide section 217 intersects with the airflow direction in the docking section 218.

[0080] Specifically, the docking part 218 can be a connecting pipe, and the outer surface of the connecting pipe can be connected to the second housing 216 through a connecting structure. The mist outlet 33 of the mist guiding channel 31 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 216, and the other end of the mist guiding channel 31 is connected to the side of the display operation panel 211 facing the fan 12. A guide surface is provided on the extended path of the connecting pipe 216, and one end of the guide surface is defined with the display operation panel 211 to form a guide part 217, which guides the mist in the connecting pipe to the end mist outlet 212 side between the outer periphery of the second housing 216 and the display operation panel 211.

[0081] For example, the docking part 218 can extend along the axial direction of the air duct component 111, with one end connected to the mist outlet 33 and the other end connected to the display operation panel 211. It is also open in the radial direction and has a guide surface that extends radially along the air duct component, with one end extending to the end mist outlet 212. The mist entering the docking pipe 216 from the mist outlet 33 flows along the axial direction of the air duct component 111 towards the side closer to the display operation panel 211 until it flows to the position where the guide surface connects to the docking pipe 216. It then flows along the guide surface and exits through the end mist outlet.

[0082] In one embodiment, the air outlet structure 100 further includes a support member 40, which is supported on the circumferential outer side of the first housing 11, and the head 10 can swing relative to the support member 40. The support member 40 is provided with a mist inlet channel 43, and one end of the mist inlet channel 43 is connected to the mist guide channel 31 through the connection position between the head 10 and the support member 40.

[0083] Specifically, the support member 40 is suitable for mounting the air outlet structure 100 onto the entire unit. For example, the support member can be mounted on the base 200 of the fan 1000, enabling the fan 1000 to have a rotating multi-directional air outlet function. The radial sides of the first housing 11 are rotatably connected to the support member 40, thereby forming a rotation point through the two connection positions, allowing the first housing 11 to rotate within the first support portion 41. Understandably, the axis of rotation of the first housing 11 always intersects its own axial direction.

[0084] Furthermore, while adopting the traditional fan 1000's rotating head 10 design, a mist inlet channel 43 is provided inside the support member 40. One end of the support member 40 forms a second mist inlet 44 that communicates with the mist inlet channel 43. Understandably, the second mist inlet 44 is formed at the connection position between the head 10 and the support member 40, and the second mist inlet 44 communicates with the first mist inlet 32, so that the mist generated by the humidifier or humidification structure can enter the interior of the support member 40 and then enter the head 10.

[0085] At this point, the support member 40 not only serves as the rotational support base for the machine head 10, but also as the source of mist within the mist guiding channel 31.

[0086] In one embodiment, the support member 40 includes a first support portion 41 and a second support portion 42. The first support portion 41 is rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the first housing 11 along the radial direction of the air duct member 111. The second support portion 42 is connected to the first support portion 41 and is used for fixing to the external structure. The mist inlet channel 43 is formed in the first support portion 41 and the second support portion 42. In the radial direction of the air duct member 111, the first support member 40 has two oppositely arranged second mist inlets 44. The mist guiding channel 31 includes two, and the second mist inlets 44 are connected to the mist guiding channel 31 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0087] If the head 10 is cylindrical, the first support part 41 is arc-shaped and protrudes towards the side away from the head 10. The first support part 41 forms a second mist inlet 44 at the two connection points that form a rotatable connection with the head 10. At this time, the air guide 30 also needs to be set in two, with each air guide 30 corresponding to a second mist inlet 44, so that the mist outlets 33 of the two air guides 30 are connected to the end mist outlet 212 to achieve efficient air outlet.

[0088] The second support part 42 can form a hollow support column structure, which is connected to the side of the first support part 41 away from the head 10 and located in the middle of the first support part 41, thereby effectively supporting the head 10.

[0089] In specific embodiments, the air outlet structure 100 provided in this application can be assembled by first assembling the panel assembly 20, then assembling the air guide 30 onto the air duct component 111, then assembling the air outlet filter 112, rear screen 113, filter component 114 and fan 12 onto the air duct component 111, and finally assembling the support component 40. The assembly of other structures besides the support component 40 has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0090] Regarding the assembly of the support member 40, the support member 40 can be assembled to the air guide member 30 or the first housing 11 by screwing or snapping, thereby fixing the support member 40. Then, the third screw post 214 on the mist outlet cover 21 is assembled to the fifth connecting hole 1117 of the air duct member 111 by screwing, thereby fixing the panel assembly 20 a second time, thus completing the positive electrode assembly.

[0091] Based on the same concept, see [reference] Figure 12 This application also provides a fan 1000, including the air outlet structure 100 and the base 200 in any of the above embodiments. The fan 1000 also includes a humidification structure, which is disposed on the base 200 and communicates with the mist guiding channel 31.

[0092] Specifically, the humidification structure is connected to the second support member 40. The mist generated by the humidification structure enters the mist guiding channel 31 through the mist inlet channel 43, and finally exits through the terminal mist outlet 212 from the central area 112a of the air outlet filter 112.

[0093] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0094] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
