[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the utility model.
[0024] See also Figures 1 to 4 , an embodiment of the present invention proposes a fan 10, which includes a head 100 and a fan head 200, wherein the head 100 is provided with a first snap structure 110; the fan head 200 is detachably connected to the head 100, and the fan head 200 is provided with a second snap structure 210; the second snap structure 210 can be selectively in a locked position or an unlocked position; when the fan head 200 is connected to the head 100 and the second snap structure 210 is in the locked position, the head 100 is at least partially embedded in the fan head 200, and the second snap structure 210 is engaged and fixed with the first snap structure 110, and when the second snap structure 210 is in the unlocked position, the fan head 200 can be separated from the head 100. In this way, when the second snap-fit structure 210 is in the unlocked position, the fan head 200 can be freely separated from the machine head 100; and when installation is required, it is only necessary to align the first snap-fit structure 110 and move the fan head 200 so that the second snap-fit structure 210 enters the locked position, so that the user can easily install or remove the fan head 200 from the machine head 100 without using tools, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process and improves efficiency.
[0025] In addition, when the fan head 200 is connected to the head 100 , the head 100 is at least partially embedded in the fan head 200 , so that the head 100 and the fan head 200 can be matched more compactly, thereby helping to reduce the overall volume of the fan 10 .
[0026] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit structure 110 is a snap-fit slot, the second snap-fit structure 210 is a snap-fit protrusion, the snap-fit slot is provided with an opening 120 , and the opening 120 is used for the snap-fit protrusion to be inserted into the snap-fit slot; the snap-fit slot extends along the circumference of the nose 100 .
[0027] A card slot extending in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer surface of the handpiece 100 . The card slot has a certain depth and is provided with an opening 120 so that the card protrusion can be smoothly inserted.
[0028] In this way, the fan 10 with the slot and cam design not only provides a stable connection, but also greatly improves the user's convenience and safety, while also performing well in terms of aesthetics and maintenance.
[0029] In some embodiments, when the fan head 200 is connected to the head 100, the latching protrusion can rotate and move within the latching slot. When the latching protrusion is rotated to the locked position within the latching slot, the latching protrusion engages with the wall stop within the latching slot. When the latching protrusion is rotated to the unlocked position within the latching slot, the latching protrusion can rotate and move within the latching slot.
[0030] In some embodiments, the opening 120 faces the fan head 200. When the fan head 200 is close to the head 100, the latch can naturally slide along the opening 120 into the slot. Thus, the design of the opening 120 facing the fan head 200 allows the latch to directly enter the slot, reducing the time for adjustment and calibration.
[0031] In some embodiments, the width of the opening 120 is greater than the width of the latching protrusion. This provides a wider tolerance, eliminating the need for precise alignment of the slot and the latching protrusion during installation. This makes it easier for the latching protrusion to align and smoothly enter the slot. This also simplifies the installation process and speeds up installation, significantly reducing the operational complexity for users unfamiliar with mechanical structures.
[0032] Moreover, the larger width of the opening 120 allows the latch to slide into the slot more quickly and easily, reducing the time for adjustment and calibration, thereby helping to improve the assembly efficiency between the fan head 200 and the machine head 100 .
[0033] In some embodiments, the latching projection is provided with a center hole 220, the axial direction of which aligns with the radial direction of the fan head 200. The provision of the center hole 220 in the latching projection reduces shrinkage stress during cooling, thereby avoiding deformation caused by uneven internal stress. This helps prevent shrinkage deformation of the latching projection during the injection molding process. Furthermore, the provision of the center hole 220 reduces material usage without compromising structural strength. This reduces production costs and overall weight, improving the product's affordability and portability.
[0034] In some embodiments, the head 100 includes a housing 130, the outer periphery of which is provided with the first snap-fit structure 110. The fan head 200 includes a rear mesh 230, the rear mesh 230 having a receiving slot 240, and the rear mesh 230 is provided with a second snap-fit structure 210. The second snap-fit structure 210 is located in the receiving slot 240. When the fan head 200 is connected to the head 100, the housing 130 is at least partially located in the receiving slot 240. The receiving slot 240 may extend radially along the fan head 200, and the housing 130 may be partially inserted into the receiving slot 240. Thus, when the fan head 200 is connected to the head 100, the housing 130 is at least partially located in the receiving slot 240 of the rear mesh 230. This nested design reduces the overall volume, making the fan 10 appear simpler and more compact. In addition, the housing 130 is partially located in the receiving groove 240, which increases the contact area and stability; the design of the snap-fit structure ensures the firmness of the connection.
[0035] In some embodiments, the number of the first snap-fit structures 110 and the number of the second snap-fit structures 210 are both plural, and the plurality of second snap-fit structures 210 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of first snap-fit structures 110 .
[0036] This multi-point connection distribution makes the force more evenly distributed, reducing stress concentration at a single connection point. Even if one clip structure becomes slightly loose, the other clip structures can still maintain overall stability.
[0037] In addition, multi-point connection disperses the effects of external forces, reduces the risk of breakage of a single snap-on structure, enhances the reliability of the connection, and extends the service life of the product.
[0038] In some embodiments, the fan 10 further includes a transmission module 300. When the fan head 200 is connected to the head 100, the head 100 can drive the blades of the fan head 200 to rotate through the transmission module 300. The head 100 includes a housing 130, which is the outer shell of the head 100 and contains a motor, circuits, and other components. The motor is located inside the housing 130 and provides rotational power. The fan 10 has blades. The transmission module 300 may include a transmission shaft and bearings. The transmission module 300 may be connected to the rear mesh 230 of the fan 10 via a bearing. The transmission shaft may be connected to the blades. The output shaft of the motor may be connected to the transmission shaft via a coupling to drive the blades to rotate. In this way, the transmission module 300 is designed as a modular structure, making it easy to install and disassemble.
[0039] In some embodiments, the transmission module 300 is detachably connected to the fan head 200 and the machine head 100. One end of the transmission shaft can be threadedly connected to the fan blade, and the other end can be coupled to a coupling. In this way, the transmission module 300 can be disassembled independently, and the user or maintenance personnel can easily remove it from the fan head 200 and the machine head 100 for inspection, cleaning, or replacement. When a component in the transmission module 300 (transmission shaft, bearing) fails, only the module needs to be disassembled and replaced without disassembling the entire fan 10.
[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention proposes a fan 10 that significantly improves user convenience and product reliability through its innovative snap-fit structure and modular design. Specifically, the handpiece 100 and fan head 200 are connected via a multi-point snap-fit structure, with the first snap-fit structure 110 being a slot and the second snap-fit structure 210 being a protrusion. The slot has an opening 120 and is wider than the protrusion, making installation simpler and faster, reducing alignment difficulty and adjustment time. A center hole 220 is provided in the protrusion, effectively preventing shrinkage deformation during the injection molding process and reducing overall weight. The rear grille 230 of the fan head 200 features a receiving slot 240, into which the housing 130 partially fits, enhancing the stability and compactness of the connection. The open opening 250 of the receiving slot 240 further simplifies installation. The transmission module 300 utilizes a modular design and can be detachably connected to the fan head 200 and handpiece 100, facilitating maintenance and replacement, improving repair efficiency and reducing costs.
