[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0029] A fan is a household appliance that uses an electric motor to drive the blades to rotate, thereby accelerating air circulation. It is mainly used for cooling and air circulation, and is widely used in homes, classrooms, offices, shops, hospitals, and hotels. Wall-mounted fans, also known as wall fans, effectively save floor and table space due to their wall-mounted nature. Most wall fans on the market can only be used by hanging on the wall, and their placement is limited to wall hooks, making them inflexible in terms of movement or changing usage methods, thus restricting their application. While table fans are convenient for short-distance airflow, most table fans can only be used on a tabletop, taking up indoor space and often affecting people's daily activities. Similarly, although there are independent standing fans that provide stable airflow, standing fans are usually designed with a single vertical structure and cannot be easily converted into other forms.

[0030] In other words, the design of traditional fans has certain limitations, making them less flexible and convenient to use, and unable to meet users' needs for multi-functional and multi-form fans in different situations.

[0031] Therefore, to address the technical problem that existing fans have certain limitations in use, resulting in insufficient flexibility and convenience, and failing to meet users' needs for multi-functional and multi-form fans in different situations, this application provides a multi-functional fan that can flexibly change the way the fan is used, improving the fan's applicability and convenience, and meeting users' diverse needs in different situations and environments. See the following embodiments for details.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the multifunctional fan provided in the embodiments of this application when used as a table fan; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the multifunctional fan provided in this application when used as a wall fan; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the back structure of the support base when the multifunctional fan provided in this application is used as a wall fan; Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the suspension assembly provided in this application.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the multi-functional fan 10 provided in this embodiment includes a fan body 100 and a support base 200 connected to each other.

[0035] The fan body 100 may include a fan head assembly, a switch box assembly, etc., and the support base 200 may be a fan foot assembly.

[0036] The support base 200 has a suspension assembly 210 on the side opposite to the fan body 100. The suspension assembly 210 includes a suspension member 211 and a fixing member 212. The fixing member 212 is usually made of a sturdy and durable material, such as a metal insert, and is designed with a structure suitable for wall mounting, such as threaded holes, suction cups, or strong adhesive, which can firmly fix the fixing member 212 to the wall and ensure the stability of the fan 10 in wall-mounted mode.

[0037] The suspension member 211 is connected to the support base 200, and a reliable connection is achieved between them, ensuring that the fan 10 maintains good structural rigidity and safety during normal use, whether it is placed on a table or mounted on a wall.

[0038] For example, the suspension member 211 can be as follows: Figure 3 The wall-mounted iron structure shown.

[0039] The suspension member 211 can also be detachably connected to the fixing member 212, that is, the suspension member 211 and the fixing member 212 are connected in a detachable manner, such as by hanging, threaded connection or magnetic attraction. This application prefers the hanging method, so that users can quickly and conveniently convert the fan 10 from the table mode to the wall-mounted mode, or remove the fan 10 in the wall-mounted mode and change it to other uses according to actual needs.

[0040] In actual operation, when the fan 10 needs to be wall-mounted, the user only needs to connect the hanging part 211 to the fixing part 212 fixed to the wall to achieve wall-mounting of the fan 10. When it is necessary to switch to other usage modes, simply disconnect the connection between the hanging part 211 and the fixing part 212, and the fan 10 will return to its desktop usage form.

[0041] This embodiment adds a suspension assembly 210 to the combination of the fan body 100 and the support base 200 to achieve a wall-mounted mode. The suspension assembly 210 includes a suspension member 211 and a fixing member 212. The suspension member 211 is detachably connected to the fixing member 212 for fixing to the wall, meaning the suspension member 211 can be easily and quickly attached and detached from the fixing member 212. This structural design allows users to easily move the fan 10 from the ground or desktop to the wall for use, or to detach the fan 10 from the wall and place it on the ground or desktop, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of the fan 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, the support base 200 is further provided with a cover plate 220, which is detachably connected to the support base 200.

[0043] When the fan 10 is not used in a suspended manner, the user can choose to cover the suspension component 211 with the cover plate 220. This not only prevents dust and debris from entering the suspension component 211 and keeps the surrounding environment of the fan 10 clean, but also prevents accidental touch or misoperation, thereby improving the safety of the fan 10 in non-suspended mode and extending the service life of the suspension component 211. In addition, it also avoids the visual clutter caused by the exposed suspension component 211 and improves the overall aesthetics of the fan 10.

[0044] In some embodiments, the suspension member 211 is provided with a limiting space 2111 and an opening 2112, the opening 2112 communicating with the limiting space 2111. The fixing member 212 sequentially includes a fixing part 2121, a middle part 2122 and a connecting part 2123. The middle part 2122 is connected between the connecting part 2123 and the fixing part 2121. The connecting part 2123 extends into the limiting space 2111 from the opening 2112. The fixing part 2121 is used to fix to the wall.

[0045] When the fan 10 needs to be mounted on the wall, first install the fixing part 2121 of the fixing member 212 onto the wall using screws, adhesive, or other fixing methods. Then, holding the support base 200 of the fan 10, hang the opening 2112 of the hanging member 211 on the back of the support base 200 onto the connecting part 2123 of the fixing member 212, and place the connecting part 2123 into the limiting space 2111 of the hanging member 211, thereby achieving a stable connection between the fan 10 and the wall. In this way, the fan 10 can be used as a table fan or easily transformed into a wall fan, greatly enhancing the versatility of the fan 10.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] See Figure 1-Figure 7 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the multifunctional fan provided in this application when used as a standing fan; Figure 6 A structural schematic diagram of the support member provided in this application in its unfolded state; Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of the support provided in this application when it is in the stored state.

[0048] The multi-functional fan 10 provided in this embodiment includes a fan body 100 and a support base 200 connected to each other. The support base 200 has a suspension assembly 210 on the side opposite to the fan body 100. The suspension assembly 210 includes a suspension member 211 and a fixing member 212. The fixing member 212 is used to fix it to a wall. The suspension member 211 is connected to the support base 200 and can also be detachably connected to the fixing member 212.

[0049] The fan body 100 includes an air outlet assembly 110 and a connecting rod 120, wherein the connecting rod 120 is detachably connected between the air outlet assembly 110 and the support base 200.

[0050] Specifically, the air outlet assembly 110 is the main structure of the fan 10, which may include the fan head assembly and the switch box assembly. It is usually composed of a motor, fan blades and related circuits, and is responsible for generating and delivering airflow.

[0051] One end of the connecting rod 120 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the air outlet assembly 110, and the other end is connected to the support base 200. When the height of the fan 10 needs to be adjusted, the user only needs to manually remove the connecting rod 120 so that the air outlet assembly 110 is directly connected to the support base 200, thereby realizing the change of the vertical distance between the fan body 100 and the support base 200.

[0052] This embodiment, by setting up the suspension assembly 210 and the connecting rod 120, enables free conversion from a table fan, wall fan, to a standing fan. When used as a table fan, the connecting rod 120 can be directly removed and the fan 10 placed on the tabletop; similarly, for wall mounting, the connecting rod 120 can be removed and the fan 10 can be suspended from the wall using the fixing piece 212; when used as a standing fan, the connecting rod 120 can be reassembled to restore it to a suitable height and place it on the ground, with the support base 200 ensuring its stable standing. In other words, the height of the fan 10 can be easily adjusted freely by manually operating the connecting rod 120, improving the adaptability and versatility of the fan 10 in various usage scenarios. This allows users to adapt to different needs without purchasing multiple different types of fans 10, reducing user purchase costs.

[0053] In some embodiments, the multi-functional fan 10 is further provided with a support member 300.

[0054] The support member 300 is movably connected to the support base 200, so that the support member 300 can be selectively in a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the support member 300 is retracted into the support base 200, and in the extended state, the support member 300 is extended outward and is on the same plane as the support base 200.

[0055] In some embodiments, the support member 300 has a first end 301 and a second end 302 that are opposite to and spaced apart, and the support base 200 is provided with a first sleeve 201 and a second sleeve 202, wherein the first end 301 is rotatably inserted through the first sleeve 201, and the second end 302 is rotatably inserted through the second sleeve 202.

[0056] like Figure 6As shown, the support member 300 can rotate 180° around a fixed point to open or retract. When the fan 10 is used as a standing fan, the support member 300 on the support base 200 can be opened to extend outward and be on the same plane as the support base 200, thereby increasing the support surface of the support base 200 and preventing the fan 10 from tilting to the sides. When the fan 10 is used as a table fan or a wall fan, the support member 300 on the support base 200 can be retracted, thereby reducing the placement area of ​​the support base 200 and making it convenient to place on a table or wall for use.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, in some embodiments, the support base 200 has a receiving groove 230 on the side opposite to the fan body 100. The support member 300 in the stored state is embedded in the receiving groove 230, which can effectively save the space occupied by the fan 10 when it is used as a table fan or a wall fan, improve the space utilization rate, and when the fan 10 is used as a table fan, since the support member 300 can be embedded in the receiving groove 230 for storage, the support base 200 can be stably in contact with the ground, and the protrusion of the support member 300 will not affect the stability of the fan 10.

[0058] Furthermore, the receiving groove 230 is arranged around the suspension assembly 210 and avoids the suspension assembly 210. In the specific manufacturing process, the receiving groove 230 surrounding the suspension assembly 210 is first designed and machined on the side of the support base 200 away from the fan body 100. The size and shape of the groove 230 match the shape of the support member 300 in the folded state. The support member 300 can be folded, slidable, or hinged to achieve folding and unfolding, ensuring that it can be completely embedded in the receiving groove 230 in the folded state, and that it can remain on the same plane as the support base 200 in the unfolded state, providing sufficient support force.

[0059] This embodiment, by setting the receiving groove 230 around the suspension assembly 210 and avoiding the suspension assembly 210, ensures that when the fan 10 is used as a wall fan, even if the support member 300 is in a retracted state and embedded in the receiving groove 230, it will not obstruct or compress the connection between the suspension member 211 and the fixing member 212. This ensures that there is no interference between the suspension assembly 210 and the support member 300 and that the suspension assembly 210 is not affected, so that the wall-mounted function of the fan 10 can be used normally.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the support 300 is arranged in a ring shape, such as a structure similar to an extension ring.

[0061] The ring-shaped support 300 unfolds and retracts as intuitively and easily as pulling and closing a ring, allowing users to easily complete the task without special skills or tools, greatly improving the convenience of switching between different usage modes of the fan 10.

[0062] In some embodiments, there are multiple support members 300, with adjacent support members 300 in the stowed state being spaced apart, and adjacent support members 300 in the unfolded state being spaced apart.

[0063] When there are multiple support members 300, these support members 300 can be evenly or spaced out on both sides or around the support base 200 according to a specific pattern. Each support member 300 has two states: retracted and extended. For example, at one end of the support base 200, two small support members 300 spaced vertically can be set. In the retracted state, they are spaced apart from each other and embedded in the corresponding receiving slots 230 of the support base 200. When extended, these two support members 300 can extend outward along a preset trajectory, also maintaining a certain distance, to provide a more uniform and stable support effect. A similar configuration can be used at the other end or other positions. Through simple operations, such as rotation, sliding, or pressing, users can switch the support members 300 from the retracted state to the extended state, or vice versa, to flexibly adjust the height and stability of the fan 10 according to actual needs.

[0064] This embodiment improves the overall anti-tipping ability of the fan 10 by setting multiple support members 300, avoids the fan 10 from tipping over due to accidental collisions or strong winds, and improves safety during use.

[0065] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separate, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units; that is, they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs.
