Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a radiator fan device, and in particular, but not exclusively, the utility model relates to a radiator fan device which helps to distribute warm air outward from a radiator. Background Art

[0002] Home heating is essential to keep homes at tolerable temperatures. In particular, efficient heating is crucial in areas where temperatures can drop to near zero degrees Celsius or even lower during the winter months. While building technology and insulation materials have evolved, it is not uncommon for insulation to leak or for wind to blow in through tiny cracks in window frames, especially in older buildings and apartment blocks.

[0003] Radiators can be found in most homes, either built into the structure of the house or portable. However, radiators tend to heat up rather slowly and distribute heat to the surrounding space even slower, especially if the room is large. As a result, the heat distribution of the radiator is not optimized and in the worst case scenario may not be effective. There are several types of radiators, some models use electricity, while others circulate warm water through the radiator. Despite this, there are few options that can effectively circulate warm air from the radiator to the surrounding outside space.

[0004] To help distribute the heat more efficiently, some people use portable radiators, ideally placed in a central location in the room. However, this still does not solve the problem of slow heat distribution. Some existing radiator fan solutions address this problem by placing a fan somewhere above the radiator, where one fan can be turned on and off to help circulate the air in the radiator. However, many existing solutions lack a mechanism to direct the hot air in the radiator in a controlled manner. Utility Model Content

[0005] The object of the present invention is to at least alleviate the problems described above and to provide a solution that allows efficient distribution of heat from a radiator. A further object of the present invention is to increase the heat distribution of the radiator. Another object of the present invention is to reduce heat losses caused by heat energy passing through walls and windows near the radiator.

[0006] The utility model enhances the flow of warm air in the radiator, thereby making the heat distribution more efficient. This enables the surrounding space to be warmed faster with less energy consumption.

[0007] Accordingly, in one aspect of the utility model, a radiator fan device comprises two or more independent fans and a corresponding number of air guide funnels, wherein each individual fan is provided with an air guide funnel, and wherein the air guide funnel comprises a sealing mechanism arranged between the independent fan and the air guide funnel, wherein the device is arranged to be placed above the radiator, guide the air in the radiator by operating the fan, and distribute the warm air in the radiator outwardly along the air guide funnel.

[0021] Figure 1-11 Various aspects of a radiator fan device (100) are shown, the radiator fan device (100) including two or more independent fans (102), each independent fan (102) is paired with an air guide funnel (104) to help reduce heat loss and circulate heat from the radiator to the surrounding living space. The radiator fan device (100) collects heat that rises vertically from the radiator and blows the heat forward by using a combination of independent fans (102) and air guide funnels (104) to reduce heat loss and distribute warm air more efficiently. The radiator fan device (100) uses a thermostatic temperature control (110) to activate or deactivate the radiator fan device (100) based on a predetermined temperature threshold. The radiator fan device (100) is placed on top of the radiator by using a plurality of adjustable clamps (114) and magnetic fixings (107). The device (100) is powered by a mains power supply or a rechargeable battery, which enables wireless use of the radiator fan device (100).

[0022] In one embodiment, the air valves (112), the independent fans (102), and the air guide funnels (104) are evenly placed on both sides of the thermostatic temperature control (110), which displays the temperature of the radiator and activates or deactivates the radiator fan device (100) based on a set temperature threshold. The number of air valves (112), independent fans (102), and air guide funnels (104) may vary based on the embodiment.

[0023] In alternative embodiments, the placement of the independent fans (102) and the air guide funnels (104) may be different. Instead of being evenly distributed around the thermostatic temperature control unit (110), the independent fans (102) and the air guide funnels (104) may be placed horizontally and / or vertically in different ways. However, the number of air valves (112), independent fans (102), and air guide funnels (104) should always be two or more.

[0024] In one embodiment, the air guide funnel (104) is provided with a filter to reduce pollutants in the air.

[0025] Figure 1 A full front view of a radiator fan assembly (100) is shown. In the middle of the assembly is a thermostatic temperature control (110) with two pairs of air valves (112) placed on either side of the thermostatic temperature control (110). In alternative embodiments, the thermostatic temperature control (110) may be placed at a location other than the middle of the radiator fan assembly (100).

[0026] Figure 2 The bottom structure of a radiator fan assembly (100) is shown. The figure shows four independent fans (102) attached to the bottom of the radiator fan assembly (100), which can circulate heat that rises vertically from the radiator. On both sides of the radiator fan assembly (100), adjustable clamps (114) can be seen, which help to mount the assembly (100) on the top of the radiator without shifting. In addition, magnetic fixings (107) can be used to help the radiator fan assembly (100) remain in place. However, in some embodiments, the radiator fan assembly (100) can also be set up without using any clamps (114) and / or magnetic fixings (107), because the assembly (100) can be placed directly on the radiator for use.

[0027] Figure 3a-3b A side view of a radiator fan assembly (100) is shown. On both sides, air valves (112) help remove excess heat generated by the stand-alone fan (102). Additionally, a power outlet (106) and an airflow speed selection button (108) are placed below the air valve (112) on the left side. In one embodiment, the airflow speed of the stand-alone fan (102) can be changed between two or more different selections.

[0028] exist Figure 4a-4b In the figure, the curved shape of the radiator fan assembly (100) can be seen. In addition, the front panel (116) is slightly longer than the rest of the assembly (100) to help fit the assembly (100) into place.

[0029] Figure 5a-5d A close up view of the air funnel (104) is shown. The base of the air funnel (104) has locations for screws on the inner surface to attach the fan (102). The outer screw locations are used to attach each air funnel (104) to the base of the heat sink fan assembly (100), such as Figure 1 As shown in b.

[0030] Figure 6 The deconstruction of the independent fan (102) and the air guide funnel (104) inside the radiator fan device (100) is shown. The air guide funnel (104) consists of three parts, namely two shell parts forming the air guide funnel (104) and the mouthpiece (105) to ensure that warm air does not leak into the device (100).

[0031] Figure 7a-7b The front and rear views of the gas funnel (104) device and its locking members (118a, 118b, 118c) are illustrated. Although the thermostatic temperature control (110) is not shown (e.g. Figure 1a), but it can be seen that the air guide funnel (104) is arranged in a manner that it is evenly placed on both sides of the thermostatic temperature control unit (110) to form two pairs. The air guide funnel (104) has a lock (118a) in front and two locks (118b, 118c) on the back.

[0032] Figure 8a-8b A simplified view is shown to illustrate an isometric view of an air guide funnel (104) arrangement, wherein the air guide funnels (104) are diagonally placed and face different directions relative to each other. In the illustration, the paired air guide funnels (104) face different directions. In an alternative embodiment, the air guide funnels (104) may face different directions relative to each other. Figure 8a - Other directions shown in b. For example, the device may include a mechanism for rotating or flipping the gas guide funnel (104) so ​​as to manipulate the airflow direction of the gas guide funnel (104).

[0033] Figure 9-11 Simplified views are shown to illustrate different variations in the number of air guide funnels (104) of a heat sink fan assembly (100).

[0034] However, the minimum number of air guide funnels (104) is two. The shape of the air guide funnel (104) can vary according to design requirements. Similarly, the design and size of the independent fan (102) can also vary.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, each independent fan (102) is paired with a single air guide funnel (104). In an alternative embodiment, the independent fan (102) can be arranged across multiple air guide funnels (104), and each air guide funnel (104) has an independent sealing mechanism with the independent fan (102).

[0036] Therefore, the skilled person can apply the provided teachings, based on the invention and common knowledge, to realize the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims in each specific case through necessary modifications, deletions and additions.
