Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a safety fan and a safety wind cover. Background Art

[0002] Existing fans are generally equipped with wind shields, which can prevent the user's fingers and other body parts from touching the rotating fan blades and causing accidents, and protect the fan blades from being damaged by collisions with foreign objects. At the same time, they can also guide the air out of the fan blades. Although the existing wind shields can provide a certain degree of protection, there are still cases where children put their fingers into the wind shield, resulting in their fingers being entangled by the fan blades. Therefore, some safety wind shields to prevent children from accidentally touching and safety fans using such safety wind shields have appeared. However, this type of wind shield usually prevents children from putting their fingers into the wind shield by reducing the distance between the wind shield mesh bars. Reducing the distance between the mesh bars will also lead to the problem of small air output, which will affect the normal use of the fan.

[0003] Therefore, a fan is needed that can prevent children from accidentally touching it without affecting the normal use of the fan. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a safety fan that can prevent children from accidentally touching it while ensuring the air output.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following detailed technical solutions:

[0006] A safety fan comprises a fan unit, a head, a support unit and a base, wherein the fan unit comprises a front hood, a rear hood and fan blades, the front hood and the rear hood form a hood, and the front hood and the rear hood are both provided with a mesh structure composed of a plurality of mesh bars, the cross-section of the mesh bars is trumpet-shaped, and two adjacent mesh bars form a trumpet-shaped grid air outlet, the trumpet mouth of the grid air outlet of the front hood is oriented in the same direction as the air outlet, the trumpet mouth of the grid air outlet of the rear hood is oriented in the same direction as the air inlet, and the fan blades are arranged in the inner cavity of the hood; the head is fixedly connected to the air inlet surface of the rear hood; one end of the support unit is connected to the base, and the other end is connected to the head.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the safety fan of the utility model optimizes the structure of the wind shield, and designs a trumpet-shaped mesh air outlet by adjusting the shape of the mesh ribs of the front and rear wind shields into a trumpet shape. The mesh air outlet of this structure can not only prevent children from inserting their fingers into the wind shield, but also ensure that the special structure of the trumpet-shaped mesh air outlet of the front and rear wind shields effectively guarantees the air intake and air outlet, thereby ensuring the normal use function of the fan.

[0008] Furthermore, the rear hood includes a side wall and a rear net, and the side wall includes a solid section connected to the front hood and a mesh section connected to the rear net. The solid section and the front hood can form a relatively closed space when the fan blade is working. When the fan is working normally, turbulence with a flow direction different from the outlet direction will be generated in the side wall of the rear hood, the air outlet of the front hood, and other areas. These turbulences will rub and vibrate the hood during the flow process, thereby generating a lot of noise. However, the relatively closed space of the present invention can greatly block the turbulent flow and discharge the airflow uniformly from the outlet direction of the front hood, thereby reducing noise.

[0009] Furthermore, the machine head includes a fan base and a connector, the fan base is fixedly connected to the fan unit, the fan base is provided with a rotation slot, the connector is clamped in the rotation slot and is rotationally connected to the fan base, the fan base can rotate left and right around the connector or rotate up and down along the rotation slot, and the connector is also rotationally connected to one end of the support unit.

The rotating structure of the fan base is simple, which can greatly reduce the volume and weight of the head, thereby avoiding an excessively high center of gravity and improving stability.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector includes a connecting shell, a second motor, a second rotating member and a positioner; the second rotating member and the connecting shell are relatively fixedly connected, and when the second rotating member rotates, the connecting shell rotates accordingly; the second motor can drive the second rotating member to rotate along a horizontal plane, and the positioner is provided with a locking assembly, which can lock or loosen the connector and the support unit. The positioner can stop the operation of the second motor and make the fan at the angle required by the user. Setting the second motor in the connector can not only better cooperate with the fan base, but also further reduce the size and weight of the head. The setting of the positioner makes the adjustment of the head more convenient.

[0012] Furthermore, the fan base is also provided with a controller, which is arranged on the fan base housing and can control the main motor, the first motor and the second motor of the safety fan, and further can control the safety fan to adjust the fan blade speed, whether to shake left and right, and whether to shake up and down.

[0015] Furthermore, the safety fan also includes a remote controller, and the remote controller can remotely control the controller. The setting of the remote controller can facilitate the user to remotely control the safety fan, and the operation is more convenient.

[0016] Furthermore, a remote control seat is provided in the center of the front wind shield, and the remote control can be magnetically attracted to the remote control seat. The user can remove the remote control to control the safety fan as needed, or store the remote control in the remote control seat, or directly operate the remote control on the front wind shield to adjust the safety fan, which is more convenient for operation and use.

[0017] The utility model also provides a safety wind hood, comprising a front wind hood and a rear wind hood, wherein the front wind hood and the rear wind hood are both provided with a mesh structure composed of a plurality of mesh bars, the cross-section of the mesh bars is trumpet-shaped, and two adjacent mesh bars form a trumpet-shaped mesh air outlet, the trumpet mouth of the mesh air outlet of the front wind hood is oriented in the same direction as the air outlet, and the trumpet mouth of the mesh air outlet of the rear wind hood is oriented in the same direction as the air inlet.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the safety wind shield of the utility model adjusts the shape of the front wind shield and the rear wind shield mesh ribs into a trumpet shape, thereby designing a trumpet-shaped grid air outlet. The grid air outlet of this structure can not only prevent children from putting their fingers into the wind shield, but also ensure that the air intake is effectively guaranteed through the special trumpet-shaped structure.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a safety fan, which includes a fan unit 10, a head 20, a support unit 30 and a base 40. The support unit 30 is arranged on the base 40 and is rotatably connected to the head 20, and the fan unit 10 is fixedly connected to the head 20.

[0032] See also Figure 2 The fan unit 10 includes a front wind shield 11, a rear wind shield 12 and a fan blade 13. The front wind shield 11 and the rear wind shield 12 form a wind shield. The fan blade 13 is arranged in the inner cavity of the wind shield through a fixing component. Figure 3 The front air cover 11 and the rear air cover 12 are both provided with a mesh structure composed of a plurality of mesh ribs 111. Figure 4 The cross section of the mesh ribs 111 is trumpet-shaped, and two adjacent mesh ribs form a trumpet-shaped mesh air outlet. The trumpet mouth of the mesh air outlet of the front air hood is oriented in the same direction as the air outlet direction, and the trumpet mouth of the mesh air outlet of the rear air hood is oriented in the same direction as the air inlet direction. This design can prevent children's fingers from entering the air hood to avoid safety accidents. In addition, the trumpet mouth design of the rear air hood can also make the air intake smoother.

This is equivalent to double protection and can effectively ensure the safety of children.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the safety fan of the present application optimizes the structure of the wind shield, and designs a trumpet-shaped grid air outlet by adjusting the shape of the front and rear wind shield mesh ribs into a trumpet shape. The grid air outlet of this structure can not only prevent children from inserting their fingers into the wind shield, but also ensure that the air intake is effectively guaranteed by the special trumpet-shaped structure. In addition, the safety fan of the present application also optimizes the structure of the head, and adjusts the rotating structure of the fan shaking up and down by setting a rotating groove on the fan seat of the head. This structure is smaller in size and simpler in structure, and can be used as a safety fan.

[0045] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
