[0026] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the portable fan includes a shell 1, a brake assembly, an adjustment module 2 and a display module 3. The brake assembly is accommodated in the shell 1, and the adjustment module 2 and the display module 3 are arranged on the shell 1. The shell 1 includes an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. The brake assembly sucks air into the shell 1 from the air inlet 11 and blows it out from the air outlet 12. The adjustment module 2 is used to control the opening, closing and speed regulation of the brake assembly, and the display module 3 is used to display one or more of the wind speed, light and power. The adjustment module 2 and the display module 3 are arranged on the same circuit board 4. By arranging the adjustment module 2 and the display module 3 on the same circuit board 4, the adjustment module 2 and the display module 3 are concentrated, and in conjunction with the display module 3, the adjustment module 2 can be better operated to adjust to the mode required by the user.
[0027] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the adjustment module 2 includes an exposed rotating member 21, which is cylindrical. The rotating member 21 includes a rotating portion 211 and a display portion 212. The rotating portion 211 is located on the curved side surface of the rotating member 21, and the display portion 212 is located on the end surface of the rotating member 21 and is exposed outward.
[0028] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the display module 3 includes a display element 31 housed within the housing. The contents of the display element 31 are displayed externally through the display portion 212. By placing the display element 31 within the rotating member 21, the rotating member 21 simultaneously performs both adjustment and display functions, enriching its functionality and enhancing its overall focus. In other embodiments, when the rotating member 21 is taller, the display element 31 can also be placed within the rotating member 21.
[0029] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the adjustment module 2 includes a stepless adjustment member (not shown in the figure, the same below). The stepless adjustment member is provided on the circuit board 4, and the rotating member 21 is connected to the stepless adjustment member. The rotating member 21 and the stepless adjustment member are fixedly connected, and the specific connection method can be any fixed method in the prior art. The brake assembly includes a motor (not shown in the figure, the same below) electrically connected to the circuit board 4, and a fan (not shown in the figure, the same below) connected to the motor. When the rotating member 21 rotates, the stepless adjustment member changes accordingly, and adjusts the power output to the motor through the circuit board 4, thereby adjusting the speed of the motor, and also adjusting the speed of the fan.
[0030] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the stepless adjustment element is a potentiometer, a rotary encoder, or other similar functional element. When the stepless adjustment element is a potentiometer, rotating the rotary element 21 adjusts the resistance of the potentiometer, and the circuit board 4 adjusts the power output to the motor based on the change in resistance. When the stepless adjustment element is a rotary encoder, rotating the rotary element 21 adjusts the rotary encoder, and the output of the rotary encoder feeds back a phase difference to the circuit board 4. The circuit board 4 adjusts the power output to the motor based on the phase difference.
[0031] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the portable fan is a neck-hanging fan. The shell 1 includes two free ends, and the rotating member 21 is provided at one of the free ends. The rotating portion 211 corresponds to the side of the shell 1, and the display portion 212 corresponds to the end face of the shell 1. In other words, the display portion 212 is directly displayed on the end of the shell 1, and the user can quickly and clearly identify the data. At the same time, the rotating portion 211 is also located on the side of the end of the shell 1, which is convenient for the user to operate. When the rotating member 21 is provided on the end face of the free end of the shell 1, the installation of the rotating member 21 is more convenient, and the internal circuit setting is also more convenient.
[0032] In one embodiment, the diameter of the rotating member 21 differs from the cross-sectional diameter of the free end of the housing 1 by less than 8 mm. Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the diameter of the rotating member 21 is equal to the cross-sectional diameter of the free end of the shell 1. By utilizing the position of the end of the shell 1, the structural design is reasonable and the shape is integrated and not abrupt.
[0033] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the rotating portion 211 and the display portion 212 are separate structures. The rotating portion 211 is provided with a step portion 2111, and the housing 1 is provided with a protrusion 15. A first fixing portion 151 is provided inside the protrusion 15. The rotating portion 211 is nested outside the protrusion 15, and the step portion 2111 is flush with the end of the protrusion 15. A second fixing portion 2121 is provided on one side of the display portion 212, which protrudes toward the housing 1. The second fixing portion 2121 is fixed to the first fixing portion 151, and the display portion 212 abuts against the step portion 2111 and the end of the protrusion 15. By fixing the second fixing portion 2121 to the first fixing portion 151, the rotating portion 211, the display portion 212, and the protrusion 15 of the housing 1 are simultaneously fixed, resulting in a reasonable structural design.
[0034] In order to ensure airtightness and prevent water vapor from entering and damaging internal components, a sealing ring can also be provided to increase the airtight protection effect.
[0035] It should be understood that the adjustment module 2 and the display module 3 can be directly integrated into the circuit board 4, and the adjustment module 2 and the display module 3 can be detachably installed on the circuit board 4, for example, by being connected through contacts, but this is not a limitation.
[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the portable fan is a handheld fan, and the housing 1 includes an air outlet 13. The air outlet 13 includes a front shell 1A and a rear shell (not shown in the figure, the same below) connected to each other, the air inlet 11 is provided on the rear shell (the air inlet 11 of this embodiment is not shown in the figure), the air outlet 12 is provided on the front shell 1A, and the rotating member 21 is provided in the middle area of the front shell 1A. In other words, the display unit 212 and the display member 31 are located in the middle area of the front shell 1A and are arranged forward for easy viewing by the user. In addition, the rotating member 21 is provided in the middle area of the front shell 1A and is located on the same axis as the motor and the fan. The rotating member 21 is provided corresponding to the motor, and the air outlet of the fan is radially outside the motor, which has little effect on the air outlet effect of the fan. Of course, in other embodiments, the portable fan may not be a handheld fan, but may be other types of fans, or a portable fan having only the air outlet 13.
[0037] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell 1 is provided with a protrusion 15, and a first fixing portion 151 is provided on the inner side of the protrusion 15; the rotating portion 211 and the display portion 212 are an integrated structure, and the rotating member 21 is provided with a second fixing portion 2121 protruding toward the shell 1, and the second fixing portion 2121 is fixed to the first fixing portion 151, and the rotating member 21 is fixed to the shell 1.
[0038] In one embodiment, the portable fan is a handheld fan, and the housing 1 includes a handheld portion 14. The rotary member 21 protrudes from the handheld portion 14, making it easy for the user to operate and adjust the fan by hand. It should be understood that the handheld portion 14 includes a side surface and an end surface, and the rotary member 21 can be provided on the side surface of the handheld portion 14 or on the end surface of the handheld portion 14. Figure 6 As shown, when the rotating member 21 is arranged on the end surface of the hand-held portion 14, the installation of the rotating member 21 is more convenient and the internal circuit arrangement is also more convenient.
[0039] It should be understood that the portable fan may also be other types of small fans, such as a clip fan, a desktop fan, etc., and is not limited to this.
