[0044] See Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an air supply assembly 100 that can meet air supply requirements in multiple directions, reduce air volume loss, increase air volume, and thus improve user experience. The air supply assembly 100 includes a volute 110 and an air supply member 120, wherein the air supply member 120 is used to draw air and re-discharge it into the room through the volute 110 to supply air to the user.

[0045] Continue reading Figure 2As shown, specifically, the volute 110 is provided with a receiving chamber 111 and a plurality of exhaust ports 112. The upper and lower ends of the receiving chamber 111 are open structures. The air supply member 120 is installed in the receiving chamber 111 to draw the external air into the receiving chamber 111 through the open ends of the receiving chamber 111 during operation. Each exhaust port 112 is connected to the receiving chamber 111 and faces different directions, thereby diverting the inhaled air flow to different exhaust ports 112 for discharge, realizing air supply operations in multiple directions and improving the uniformity and coverage of the air supply.

[0046] Furthermore, two volutes 110 and two air supply members 120 are provided, and each air supply member 120 is installed in the corresponding accommodating cavity 111 of the volute 110. The two volutes 110 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center and are provided with two exhaust ports 112. When the air supply assembly 100 is fixed to the ground, the arrangement of the two volutes 110 provides an exhaust port 112 in each of the four directions of the air supply assembly 100, thereby meeting the air supply requirements of the air supply assembly 100 in all four directions.

[0047] It should be noted that, for ease of understanding, in this specific embodiment, only the solution of two volutes 110 and two air supply members 120 is used as an example. In the air supply assembly 100 provided in other embodiments, the number of volutes 110 and air supply members 120 can also be three, four, five, etc., and can be reasonably set according to the overall volume of the air supply assembly 100 and user needs. Correspondingly, the exhaust port 112 of a single volute 110 can also be set to three, four, five, etc., so as to reasonably adjust the distribution angle of two adjacent exhaust ports 112 according to needs, so as to meet the circumferential air supply function of the air supply assembly 100.

[0048] Continue reading Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the volute 110 is further provided with two air ducts 113 , each of which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 111 , and an exhaust port 112 is correspondingly provided at one end of the air duct 113 away from the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0049] Exemplarily, the volute 110 has an α structure, and the flow path of one air duct 113 is longer than the flow path of the other air duct 113. During the assembly process, the volute 110 is provided with an accommodating chamber 111 at one end eccentrically arranged on one side of the air supply assembly, and the two air ducts 113 can extend in different directions respectively to guide the airflow to be discharged in different directions.

[0050] Furthermore, the included angle between the two air ducts 113 is 90°, so as to achieve the function of discharging air in four directions through the arrangement of the two volutes 110 .

[0051] Furthermore, the width of the air duct 113 with a longer flow path is greater than the width of the air duct 113 with a shorter flow path, so that the air flow in the accommodating cavity 111 can be evenly distributed to the two air ducts 113 to ensure the air volume of each exhaust port 112.

[0052] In other embodiments, the number of air ducts 113 in each volute 110 may be three, four, or five, and the number may be reasonably set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. The air ducts 113 are equidistantly distributed along different directions so that after the air supply member 120 is installed in the volute 110, air can be supplied from more directions, further improving the uniformity and coverage of the air supply.

[0053] In one embodiment, a diverter cone 114 is provided between two adjacent air ducts 113 , and the diverter cone 114 is configured to guide the airflow to different air ducts 113 .

[0054] For example, the tip of the diverter cone 114 faces the accommodating chamber 111, and the side walls extend toward the two air ducts 113. Guided by the walls of the diverter cone 114, the airflow in the accommodating chamber 111 is diverted at the diverter cone 114 and then flows to the exhaust ports 112 to meet the air supply needs of each air duct 113.

[0055] In some embodiments, the air supply member 120 includes a motor 121 and a centrifugal fan wheel 122 . The centrifugal fan wheel 122 is installed in the volute 110 , and the output shaft of the motor 121 is connected to the centrifugal fan wheel 122 .

[0056] Specifically, the motor 121 is installed above the centrifugal wind wheel 122 and is connected to the centrifugal wind wheel 122 through the output shaft, so that during operation, the motor 121 drives the centrifugal wind wheel 122 to rotate, forming a low-pressure environment in the accommodating chamber 111, and then the external air flow is sucked into the accommodating chamber 111 and guided through the air ducts 113 to be discharged from the exhaust port 112.

[0057] Continue reading Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the air supply assembly 100 further includes a housing 130, and each volute 110 is installed in the housing 130. Specifically, the housing 130 is a cylindrical structure, and the two volutes 110 are installed in the housing 130 in a centrally symmetrical manner to achieve assembly of the two volutes 110.

[0058] Furthermore, air inlet holes 131 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the housing 130 along the center axis direction, and each air inlet hole 131 is correspondingly provided at the two ends of the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0059] Specifically, air inlets 131 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the housing 130, corresponding to the openings at both ends of the volute 110. During operation of the air supply member 120, the rotation of the centrifugal impeller 122 draws external air through the air inlets 131 at the upper and lower ends of the housing 130 and into the accommodating chamber 111.

[0060] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the outer shell 130 are provided with a mesh structure formed by a plurality of air inlet holes 131 arranged in a ring shape, so as to ensure that the air flow can enter the outer shell 130 while playing a certain filtering role to prevent debris from entering the interior of the outer shell 130.

[0061] Of course, in other embodiments, the air inlet 131 of the housing 130 may also be directly provided on the upper and lower end surfaces of the housing 130 , as long as it can meet the air intake needs of the air supply assembly 100 .

[0062] In some embodiments, a plurality of air outlet holes 132 are equidistantly formed on the outer circumference of the housing 130 , and each air outlet hole 132 is connected to a corresponding exhaust port 112 .

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the shell 130 is provided with four air outlet holes, and the interval arc between two adjacent air outlet holes is 90°, so as to correspond to the four exhaust ports 112 respectively, output the internal air flow, and realize air outlet in four directions of front, back, left and right of the air supply component 100.

[0064] Furthermore, each air outlet may be configured as a grille structure, so that the discharge direction of the airflow can be adjusted by setting the angle of the grille.

[0065] Furthermore, the air outlet and the exhaust port 112 are both strip-shaped and arranged in a vertical state parallel to the direction of gravity to increase the air flow transmission range and increase the air volume of the air supply component 100.

[0066] Continue reading Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the air supply assembly 100 further includes a filter element 140 , which is disposed at the air inlet 131 .

[0067] Specifically, the filter element 140 is an annular filter structure, which is installed inside the shell 130 and is located on the same horizontal plane as the air inlet, so as to purify the air flow during the air intake process and ensure the air supply quality.

[0068] Exemplarily, the filter element 140 can be detachably mounted on the inner side of the outer shell 130 or directly sleeved on the outer side of the volute 110 to facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement. The filter element 140 can be cleaned and replaced to purify the incoming air flow.

[0069] An embodiment of the present application further provides an air supply device, comprising the air supply assembly 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0070] It should be noted that the air supply device can be one of a fan, an electric heater, an air purifier, and a humidifier. For ease of understanding, the embodiments of the present application can only be illustrated by taking a fan as an example.

[0071] This embodiment has the air supply assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the air supply assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0072] In some embodiments, the air supply device further includes a rotating assembly, which is connected to the air supply assembly 100 and can drive the air supply assembly 100 to rotate.

[0073] For example, the rotating component can be a turntable structure. After being connected to the outer shell 130 of the air supply component 100, it can drive the air supply component 100 to rotate along its own central axis, thereby rotating and shaking its head while satisfying air supply in multiple directions, quickly meeting the user's air supply needs, and improving the distribution rate of airflow in the room.

[0074] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned 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.

[0075] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. 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 a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
