Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular relates to an air circulator fan. Background Technology

[0002] An air circulator is an electrical device that promotes indoor air circulation through a strong and stable airflow. Unlike traditional fans, the main function of an air circulator is to accelerate air circulation, make the indoor temperature more uniform, and improve the overall comfort of the environment.

[0003] Air circulators typically have fixed-length ducts that cannot be adjusted to suit different usage environments. To address this, patent application CN202420161849.6 discloses an air circulator with an automatically adjustable output duct. This invention includes a base, a support rod assembly on the base, and a fan head on the support rod assembly. The fan head comprises a fan head assembly, an air inlet shroud, a fixed duct tube, a telescopic outlet tube, a rotating tube, and a rotation drive device. This solution uses the rotation drive device to control the rotation of the rotating tube, which in turn drives the telescopic outlet tube to extend and retract, thus achieving automatic adjustment of the output duct length.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the rotating cylinder is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic air outlet, and the protrusion on the telescopic air outlet is provided with a spiral groove. There is no axial guide mechanism between the telescopic air outlet and the fixed air duct. During the rotation of the rotating cylinder, the telescopic air outlet may be driven to rotate, which will cause the adjustment of the telescopic air outlet to become less precise and affect the use effect.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an air circulator fan includes a base 1, a support rod 2, and a head assembly 3 connected in sequence. The head assembly 3 includes a rear shell 31, fan blades 32, a rotating motor 33, a rotating cylinder 34, an extension cylinder 35, and a drive mechanism 36. The rotating motor 33 and the fan blades 32 are disposed inside the rear shell 31, and the rotating motor 33 is used to drive the fan blades 32 to rotate. The upper end of the support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rear shell 31.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rear shell 31 has a strip-shaped hole 311 extending in the front-rear direction on its side; the rotating cylinder 34 is inserted into the rear shell 31 and rotates with the inner wall of the rear shell 31; the rotating cylinder 34 has a spiral through hole 341 on its side, which is connected to the strip-shaped hole 311; the extension cylinder 35 is inserted into the rotating cylinder 34; the extension cylinder 35 has a positioning block 351 on its side, which passes through the spiral through hole 341 and extends into the strip-shaped hole 311; the driving mechanism 36 is disposed on the outer side of the rear shell 31 and is used to drive the rotating cylinder 34 to rotate. The rear shell 31, the rotating cylinder 34 and the extension cylinder 35 cooperate to form an air duct. The length of the air duct is adjusted by adjusting the extension of the extension cylinder 35.

[0027] In this embodiment, an air outlet grille 37 is provided at the front end of the extension tube 35.

[0028] Example 2: Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the rest of the parts are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that an annular protrusion 312 surrounding the strip hole 311 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the rear shell 31, and a transparent cover 313 is provided on the annular protrusion 312. The annular protrusion 312 helps to improve the structural strength at the strip hole 311, avoids deformation due to rapid wear, and helps to extend the service life. At the same time, the transparent cover 313 provides an isolation function, preventing the user's fingers from being inserted into the annular protrusion 312 and possibly coming into contact with the positioning block 351, thus providing good safety. Of course, the position of the positioning block 351 can also be quickly confirmed through the transparent cover 313.

[0029] In this embodiment, a lever 3131 is integrally provided on the outer side of the transparent cover 313 to facilitate the user to open the transparent cover 313.

The outer protruding ring 342 abuts against the front end face of the rear shell 31. The outer protruding ring 342 serves as a limiting element and also improves the structural strength of the front part of the rotating cylinder 34.

[0031] Example 3: Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rest of the components are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that an external gear ring 4 is fixedly mounted at the rear end of the rotating cylinder 34, and an opening 314 is provided on the rear shell 31. The drive mechanism 36 includes a drive motor 361 and a gear 362. The drive motor 361 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the rear shell 31, and the gear 362 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 361. Part of the gear 362 passes through the opening 314 and meshes with the external gear ring 4. After the drive motor 361 is started, it drives the rotating cylinder 34 to rotate through the gear 362 and the external gear ring 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 36 also includes a housing 363, which covers the drive motor 361 and the gear 362 and is connected to the rear housing 31. The housing 363 serves a protective function.

[0033] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 315 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the rear shell 31, and a rubber pad 316 is provided on the front side of the limiting protrusion 315. The rubber pad 316 contacts the rear side of the outer gear ring 4, and the limiting protrusion 315 and the rubber pad 316 cooperate to perform the limiting function.

[0034] In this embodiment, the side of the extension cylinder 35 is provided with a screw hole 352, and a screw 3511 is fixedly provided on the positioning block 351. The screw 3511 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 352, which facilitates the assembly of the extension cylinder 35. At the same time, the structure is simple and easy to replace.

[0035] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
