[0046] The utility model provides a portable fan.

[0047] In the embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figure 1-9 The portable fan comprises a duct part 100, an adapter structure 200, a handle 300 and a connecting structure 400.

[0048] The duct part 100 comprises a cylinder body 110 and a fan 120 arranged in the cylinder body 110, and the two ends of the cylinder body 110 in the axial direction are respectively formed with an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 112; the adapter structure 200 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder body 110, and the end face of the adapter structure 200 away from the cylinder body 110 forms a first inclined surface 210.

[0049] The handle 300 is connected to one end of the adapter structure 200 away from the cylinder body 110, and the end face of the handle 300 facing the adapter structure 200 forms a second inclined surface 310 adapted to the first inclined surface 210.

[0050] The connecting structure 400 is arranged at the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310, and the connecting structure 400 comprises a connecting piece 410 and an annular wall 420 connected to each other, one end of the connecting piece 410 is fixedly connected to the adapter structure 200, the other end is rotatably connected to the handle 300 along the second inclined surface 310, the annular wall 420 penetrates the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310, and extends along the normal direction of the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310; the adapter structure 200 can rotate along the plane direction of the second inclined surface 310 with the annular wall 420 as the rotation center, so that the duct part 100 can be rotated to be consistent or perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300 in the axial direction of the cylinder body 110.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cylinder 110 is enclosed to form an air duct, and the fan 120 is installed in the air duct. The fan 120 is used to drive the air flow from the air inlet 111 into the air duct of the cylinder 110 and blown out through the air outlet 112. Usually, the cylinder 110 is configured as a cylinder with a circular cross-section. The fan 120 includes a motor and a wind wheel connected to the output shaft of the motor. The motor is fixedly installed in the cylinder 110, and the motor is used to drive the wind wheel to rotate. By arranging the fan 120 in the cylinder 110, the present application can effectively prevent hair from being caught in the fan 120 compared to the method of installing the fan 120 in a mesh cover, thereby improving the safety of the portable fan.

[0052] The adapter structure 200 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the barrel 110. To improve structural strength, the outer shell of the adapter structure 200 can be integrally formed with the barrel 110. When the wind cylinder portion 100 is rotated so that the axial direction of the barrel 110 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300, that is, when the portable fan is not folded, in order to ensure overall consistency of appearance, the outer contour shape of the adapter structure 200 can be made the same as the outer contour shape of the handle 300, and the outer peripheral surface of the adapter structure 200 can be aligned with the outer peripheral surface of the handle 300. In this way, when the portable fan is not folded, the adapter structure 200 and the handle 300 form a handheld portion with a consistent appearance.

[0053] The handle 300 is used for the user to grasp and hold. The cross-sectional shape of the handle 300 can be many, such as circular, elliptical, runway-shaped, etc., which can be selected and designed according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here. The end face of the adapter structure 200 forms a first bevel 210, and the end face of the handle 300 forms a second bevel 310 adapted to the first bevel 210, then the inclination angles of the first bevel 210 and the second bevel 310 are the same. In order to make the wind cylinder part 100 rotatable until the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is consistent with or perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300, specifically, the angle between the first bevel 210 and the axis of the cylinder body 110 is 45 degrees. In this way, after the adapter structure 200 is rotated 180 degrees relative to the handle 300, the adapter structure 200 can be rotated to extend perpendicularly or in the same direction as the handle 300. As Figure 1 As shown, when the portable fan is in the unfolded state, the adapter structure 200 and the handle 300 extend in the same direction, and the axial direction of the wind tube portion 100 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300. Figure 6 As shown, when the portable fan is in the twisted and folded state, the adapter structure 200 is perpendicular to the handle 300 , and the axial direction of the wind tube portion 100 is consistent with the extending direction of the handle 300 .

[0054] To improve structural strength, the connector 410 is integrally formed with the annular wall 420. The annular wall 420 is specifically annular. The annular wall 420 passes through the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310 and extends along the normal direction of the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310. The annular wall 420 is used to limit the rotation of the adapter structure 200 and the handle 300 in a circumferential direction, so that the two rotate only around the outer circumference of the annular wall 420. In other words, the annular wall 420 constitutes the rotation axis for the relative rotation of the adapter structure 200 and the handle 300. One end of the connector 410 is fixed to the adapter structure 200, and the other end is hooked to the handle 300. This prevents the adapter structure 200 and the handle 300 from separating from each other while allowing the adapter structure 200 to rotate relative to the handle 300 around the annular wall 420. The connector 410 and the adapter structure 200 can be fixedly connected by screws, snaps, etc. The other end of the connecting piece 410 is connected to the handle 300. Specifically, an axial hole for the annular wall 420 to pass through is opened on the first inclined surface 210. The connecting piece 410 extends into the handle 300 through the axial hole and is connected to the outer part of the axial hole. Without affecting the rotation, it can limit the separation of the adapter structure 200 and the handle 300 from each other in the normal direction of the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310.

[0055] The portable fan of the present invention uses the cylinder 110 to form an air duct and accommodate the fan 120, which can effectively prevent hair from being caught in the fan 120, thereby improving the safety of the portable fan. By arranging a transfer structure 200 on the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 110, the end face of the transfer structure 200 forms a first inclined surface 210, and the end face of the handle 300 forms a second inclined surface 310. The connecting structure 400 includes a connecting member 410 and an annular wall 420 that are connected to each other. One end of the connecting member 410 is fixedly connected to the transfer structure 200, and the other end can be rotatably hung on the handle 300 along the second inclined surface 310. The annular wall 420 passes through the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310, and extends along the normal direction of the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310. In this way, the rotating shaft portion (annular wall 420) of the transfer structure 200 and the handle 300 is hidden in the transfer structure 200 and the handle 300. The transfer structure 200 and the handle 300 are twisted together through the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310 to realize the twisting and folding of the wind tube portion 100 relative to the handle 300.

[0056] This folding method can effectively prevent the shaft from being exposed, thereby preventing the user from being pinched during folding. At the same time, it can also ensure the overall aesthetics and coordination of the portable fan, making the product appear more refined or unified visually. When the wind cylinder portion 100 is rotated so that the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300, the portable fan is in an unfolded state, which is more convenient for the user to hold and use. When the wind cylinder portion 100 is rotated so that the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is consistent with the extension direction of the handle 300, the portable fan is in a folded state, which is convenient for the user to carry and store on the one hand, and convenient for the portable fan to be placed directly on a table for use on the other hand, without the need for an additional placement stand for the fan.

[0057] Specifically, if Figure 2-5 、 Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the connecting member 410 includes a fixing portion 411 provided on the inner periphery of the annular wall 420 and a hanging ring 414 provided on the outer periphery of the annular wall 420 . The fixing portion 411 is fixedly connected to the adapter structure 200 , and the hanging ring 414 can be rotatably hung on the inner wall of the handle 300 around the axis of the annular wall 420 .

[0058] The connector 410 is fixedly connected to the adapter structure 200 via the fixing portion 411, and the hooking portion of the connector 410 abuts the inner wall of the handle 300. The connector 410 maintains contact between the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310, preventing them from separating. The fixing portion 411 is located within the annular wall 420, further facilitating connection between the fixing portion 411 and the interior of the adapter structure 200. The hooking ring 414 is located on the periphery of the annular wall 420, allowing it to be hooked to a location within the handle 300 surrounding the periphery of the annular wall 420. During installation, the entire connecting member 410 is assembled from the inside of the handle 300, the annular wall 420 and the fixing portion 411 are extended out of the first inclined surface 210 of the handle 300, the hanging ring 414 is abutted against the inner wall of the handle 300, and then the fixing portion 411 and the adapter structure 200 are connected to realize the assembly of the adapter structure 200, the handle 300 and the connecting structure 400. This assembly method is simple, reliable and easy to operate.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the portable fan further includes a circuit board 500 disposed in the adapter structure 200 and a power supply unit 600 disposed in the handle 300;

[0060] The adapter structure 200 includes a first side wall 220 and a second side wall 230 that are opposite to each other in the axial direction of the cylinder 110. The length of the first side wall 220 is greater than that of the second side wall 230. The circuit board 500 is fixed to the first side wall 220.

[0061] The adapter structure 200 is electrically connected with the power supply unit 600 through wires, and the fixing portion 411 is provided with a wire hole 412 for the wires to pass through.

[0062] In the embodiment, the power supply unit 600 is specifically a battery. The power supply unit 600 is electrically connected with the circuit board 500 through wires, and the fan 120 is electrically connected with the circuit board 500, so that the fan 120 is powered by the power supply unit 600, and the fan 120 can be controlled, such as being turned on or off, or the wind speed being adjusted, through the circuit board 500. Since the fixing portion 411 is located within the annular wall 420, the wire hole 412 for the wires to pass through is arranged on the fixing portion 411, so that the wires can be prevented from being wound when the barrel portion 100 is folded and twisted relative to the handle 300, and the wires can be prevented from being excessively pulled and damaged. Since the end face of the adapter structure 200 forms the first inclined surface 210, the outer side wall of the adapter structure 200 is necessarily long on one side and short on the other side. By fixing the circuit board 500 on the longer first side wall 220 of the adapter structure 200, compared with arranging the circuit board 500 at the shorter second side wall 230, the space on the first side wall 220 can be fully utilized to accommodate the circuit board 500, so that the overall structure is more compact, the length of the entire adapter structure 200 can be shortened as much as possible, and the entire portable fan is more compact. Further, the operation button is arranged on the first side wall 220 and abuts against the circuit board 500. In this way, the button is also located on the longer first side wall 220.

[0063] Further, as shown in Figure 2-5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the fixing portion 411 includes two mounting tables 413 arranged at intervals in the radial direction of the barrel 110, and the adapter structure 200 is provided with two mounting columns 240 corresponding to the two mounting tables 413, and the mounting columns 240 are fixedly connected with the mounting tables 413; the wire hole 412 is arranged between the two mounting tables 413. The mounting table 413 and the mounting column 240 can be fixedly connected through screws. By arranging two mounting tables 413 arranged at intervals in the radial direction of the barrel 110 and fixedly connecting the mounting columns 240 in the adapter structure 200, the connection stability of the adapter structure 200 and the connecting structure 400 can be further improved. By arranging the wire hole 412 between the two mounting tables 413, the wire hole 412 can be located at the axial position of the annular wall 420, so that the wires can be further prevented from being pulled when the barrel portion 100 is folded and twisted relative to the handle 300.

[0064] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 10-13A positioning protrusion 311 is provided on the second inclined surface 310, and an arc-shaped groove 211 extending circumferentially around the annular wall 420 is opened on the outer periphery of the first inclined surface 210. The arc-shaped groove 211 extends from one side of the cylinder 110 to the other side in the radial direction. The first inclined surface 210 is provided with elastic clamping arms 212 on both sides of the cylinder 110 in the radial direction. The elastic clamping arms 212 form a part of the groove wall of the arc-shaped groove 211, and the positioning protrusion 311 is adapted to be clamped to the elastic clamping arms 212.

[0065] In this embodiment, by providing an arcuate slot 211, the rotation angle of the adapter structure 200 relative to the handle 300 can be limited, preventing excessive twisting that would cause the internal wire structure to be pulled and broken. Specifically, the circular angle corresponding to the arcuate slot 211 is approximately 180 degrees, that is, the rotation limit position is when the wind tube portion 100 rotates until the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is aligned with or perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300. Moreover, by making the arcuate slot 211 surround the outer periphery of the annular wall 420 and providing a positioning protrusion 311 on the second inclined surface 310, the sliding of the positioning protrusion 311 within the arcuate slot 211 can further ensure the relative rotation accuracy of the first inclined surface 210 and the second inclined surface 310, and make the entire positioning and engaging structure simpler. The sidewall of the elastic arm 212 forms part of the arcuate slot 211. When the positioning protrusion 311 slides within the arcuate slot 211 until it engages the elastic arm 212, it locks the adapter structure 200 and the handle 300, maintaining the entire fan tube 100 and the adapter structure 200 in position relative to the handle 300. By twisting the adapter structure 200 to disengage the positioning protrusion 311 from the elastic arm 212, the portable fan can be switched between different modes.

[0066] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 As shown, the adapter structure 200 is provided with a hanging rope portion 250 on both side walls in the radial direction of the cylinder 110; when the air cylinder portion 100 is rotated until the axial direction of the cylinder 110 is consistent with the extension direction of the handle 300, the air outlet 112 is located on the side away from the handle 300, and the ratio of the torque of the air cylinder portion 100 at the hanging rope portion 250 to the torque of the handle 300 at the hanging rope portion 250 is greater than or equal to 0.9 and less than or equal to 1.1.

[0067] In this embodiment, by providing the hanging rope portion 250, when the wind cylinder portion 100 is rotated until the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is consistent with the extension direction of the handle 300 (when the portable fan is in a folded state), the portable fan can be hung around the user's neck for use, freeing the user's hands. It is understandable that after the portable fan is folded and hung around the neck for use, the air outlet 112 of the wind cylinder portion 100 faces upward to blow air on the user's face. The ratio of the torque of the wind cylinder portion 100 at the hanging rope portion 250 to the torque of the handle 300 at the hanging rope portion 250 can specifically be 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.1, etc. By making the ratio of the torque of the wind cylinder part 100 at the hanging rope part 250 to the torque of the handle 300 at the hanging rope part 250 greater than or equal to 0.9 and less than or equal to 1.1, that is, the torque of the wind cylinder part 100 at the hanging rope part 250 is basically the same as the torque of the handle 300 at the hanging rope part 250. In this way, when the portable fan is hung around the neck, the weight balance of the wind cylinder part 100 and the handle 300 side can be achieved, thereby avoiding one side being too light and the other side being too heavy, affecting the user experience.

[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 The handle 300 includes a first shell 320, a second shell 330 and a first inclined wall 340. The first inclined wall 340 is fixedly connected to one end of the first shell 320 adjacent to the adapter structure 200, and the second inclined surface 310 is formed on the first inclined wall 340. When the wind cylinder portion 100 rotates until the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300, the second shell 330 is located below the first inclined wall 340 and is spliced ​​with the first shell 320 in the axial direction of the cylinder body 110.

[0069] In this embodiment, in order to improve structural strength, the first inclined wall 340 is integrally formed with the first shell 320. The first shell 320 and the second shell 330 can be fixedly connected by means of snaps, screws, etc. By splicing the first shell 320 and the second shell 330 to form the handle 300 shell, the assembly of the connecting structure 400 is more convenient. During assembly, the connecting structure 400 is first installed from the open side of the first shell 320 to the first inclined wall 340, and the adapter structure 200 and the connecting structure 400 are fixedly connected. Then, the second shell 330 is spliced ​​with the first shell 320, and the assembly of the entire handle 300 shell, the adapter structure 200, and the connecting structure 400 can be completed.

[0070] Furthermore, when the wind cylinder portion 100 rotates until the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the handle 300, the width of the cross section of the handle 300 in the axial direction of the cylinder body 110 is greater than its radial width; and the handle 300 also includes an anti-slip sleeve 350, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first shell 320 and the second shell 330.

[0071] The width of the cross section of the handle 300 in the axial direction of the cylinder 110 is greater than its width in the radial direction, that is, the handle 300 has a flat structure as a whole. In this way, after folding, the handle 300 can be placed directly and stably supported on the table, preventing the wind tube part 100 from falling sideways and affecting use. The anti-slip cover 350 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first shell 320 and the second shell 330. On the one hand, it can improve the anti-slip performance of the entire handle 300, preventing the user from slipping when grasping the handle 300, and when the portable fan is folded and placed on the table, it can increase the friction between the handle 300 and the table, thereby preventing the portable fan from shifting during use; on the other hand, the anti-slip cover 350 can also cover the joint seam between the first shell 320 and the second shell 330, making the appearance of the entire handle 300 smoother and more beautiful.

[0072] Furthermore, the first shell 320 and the second shell 330 enclose a downward-facing opening. The handle 300 also includes a bottom cover 360, which covers the opening and is secured to the first shell 320 and the second shell 330. The bottom cover 360 is vertically joined to the anti-slip cover 350. By enclosing the first shell 320 and the second shell 330 to form a downward-facing opening, the power supply unit 600 is more easily assembled within the handle 300. The bottom cover 360 can be secured to the first shell 320 and the second shell 330 by means of a snap-fit ​​or plug-in connection. The vertical connection between the bottom cover 360 and the anti-slip cover 350 further enhances the overall aesthetics and coordination of the portable fan.

[0073] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13 The transition structure 200 includes a third shell 260, a fourth shell 270, a second inclined wall 280 and a mounting core 290. The second inclined wall 280 is connected to the end of the third shell 260 away from the cylinder 110, and the first inclined surface 210 is formed on the second inclined wall 280; the third shell 260 and the fourth shell 270 are spliced ​​in the axial direction of the cylinder 110, and the mounting core 290 is arranged in the space enclosed by the third shell 260, the fourth shell 270 and the second inclined wall 280. One end of the mounting core 290 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 110, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting structure 400; the mounting core 290 is provided with a hanging rope part 250 on both sides of the cylinder 110 in the radial direction, which is partially exposed and clamped between the first shell 320 and the second shell 330.

[0074] In practice, to enhance structural strength, the second sloping wall 280 is integrally formed with the third shell 260. By splicing the third shell 260 and the fourth shell 270 to form the housing of the adapter structure 200, the assembly of structures such as the circuit board 500 within the adapter structure 200 is facilitated. The third shell 260 and the fourth shell 270 can be securely connected using snaps or screws. By providing an independent mounting core 290 within the third and fourth shells 260, 270, the manufacturing cost of the entire adapter structure 200 can be reduced. The mounting core 290 can be securely connected to the cylindrical body 110 using methods such as plug-in connection or ultrasonic welding. During assembly, the mounting core 290 is first securely connected to the cylindrical body 110, then secured to the connecting structure 400. Finally, the third shell 260 and the fourth shell 270 are spliced ​​to the periphery of the mounting core 290, completing the assembly of the entire adapter structure 200, the connecting structure 400, and the cylindrical body 110. In addition, the hanging rope part 250 is set on the installation core 290. Compared with being set on the third shell 260 and the fourth shell 270, the hanging rope part 250 can be located at the joint of the third shell 260 and the fourth shell 270, which is beneficial to the balance of the center of gravity and can also improve the connection strength between the hanging rope part 250 and the adapter structure 200.

[0075] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 14 As shown, the inner wall of the cylinder 110 is fixedly connected with a plurality of air guide blades 113 arranged at intervals around the circumference thereof, and the wind cylinder portion 100 also includes a flow guide member 130 fixedly arranged in the cylinder 110, and the flow guide member 130 is provided with a plurality of flow guide blades 131 arranged at intervals around the circumference of the cylinder 110; the fan 120, the plurality of air guide blades 113 and the flow guide member 130 are arranged in sequence in the air outlet direction of the fan 120; the spiral extension direction of the plurality of air guide blades 113 is opposite to the spiral extension direction of the plurality of guide blades 131.

[0076] In this embodiment, the number of air guide blades 113 and flow guide blades 131 can be selected according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. It is possible to have multiple air guide blades 113 spirally extend clockwise while multiple flow guide blades 131 spirally extend counterclockwise, or to have multiple air guide blades 113 spirally extend counterclockwise while multiple flow guide blades 131 spirally extend clockwise. The spiral extension direction of the multiple air guide blades 113 is opposite to the spiral extension direction of the multiple flow guide blades 131. In this way, the airflow blown out by the fan 120 can be guided in opposite rotational directions by the multiple air guide blades 113 and the multiple flow guide blades 131, so that the airflow is guided and rectified multiple times from back to front, thereby reducing wind energy loss and noise.
