Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a fan oscillation structure and a table fan. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, traditional bladed electric fans can no longer meet their needs. The electric fan industry is constantly innovating and developing, and more and more new fan products are being developed. As a currently popular structure, the circulating fan can swing horizontally and vertically. The support column is located on the center line of the fan motor, and the horizontal and vertical swinging parts are set on the same center line to achieve omnidirectional air circulation and improve indoor air circulation efficiency.
[0003] Currently, existing vertical oscillation mechanisms are typically located in the middle of the fan blade holder, i.e., along the fan's center of gravity, to drive the fan blade holder to oscillate vertically. This results in a similar overall structural style and significant homogenization among existing fans. Furthermore, the support column needs to accommodate the motor and transmission structure, leading to a large diameter support column and making the overall fan structure bulky. Utility Model Content

[0038] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 This invention describes a fan oscillation structure and a desktop fan according to embodiments of the present invention.
[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the fan oscillation structure is mounted on a desktop fan and used as a vertical sweeping component of the fan. Specifically, the fan oscillation structure includes an annular mounting base 100, a vertical sweeping motor 210, a support column 300, and a shaft fixing assembly.
[0040] In this embodiment, the annular mounting base 100 has a circular ring structure; in other embodiments, a square ring or a polygonal ring may also be used. Specifically, a rotating shaft shell 110 is provided inside the annular mounting base 100. The rotating shaft shell 110 is composed of two halves of the shell, one half of which is integrally formed with the annular mounting base 100, and the other half is connected by screws. One end of the rotating shaft shell 110 is connected to the inner wall of the annular mounting base 100, and the other end extends to the outer wall of the annular mounting base 100 to form a connecting sleeve 113. The connecting sleeve 113 is integrally formed with the outer wall of the annular mounting base 100, and the middle of the connecting sleeve 113 is hollowed out and communicates with the inside of the rotating shaft shell 110.
[0041] The housing of the vertical sweeping motor 210 is fixedly disposed within the shaft housing 110 and located on one side of the inner wall of the annular mounting base 100. The output shaft of the vertical sweeping motor 210 extends to the connecting sleeve 113. The vertical sweeping motor 210 adopts a stepper motor structure. The motor housing and control components are installed within the shaft housing 110, while the motor output shaft extends from within the shaft housing 110 to the connecting sleeve 113.
[0042] A rotating bearing 310 is provided at the end of the support column 300. The outer ring of the rotating bearing 310 is connected to the support column 300, and the inner ring is sleeved with the connecting sleeve 113, so that the annular mounting seat 100 can be connected to the support column 300 through the rotating bearing 310. When the annular mounting seat 100 swings, the inner ring and outer ring of the rotating bearing 310 rotate relative to each other, while the outer ring of the rotating bearing 310 is firmly connected to the support column 300.
[0043] The shaft fixing assembly is fixedly installed inside the support column 300 and located on one side of the rotating bearing 310. The output shaft of the vertical sweeping motor 210 is inserted into the shaft fixing assembly. To enable the annular mounting base 100 to swing longitudinally via the vertical sweeping motor 210, the output shaft of the vertical sweeping motor 210 is inserted into the shaft fixing assembly, which is fixedly connected to the support column 300. When the output shaft of the vertical sweeping motor 210 rotates, the motor housing rotates relative to it because the output shaft is fixed by the shaft fixing assembly. The motor housing is connected to the rotating shaft housing 110, thereby causing the rotating shaft housing 110 and the annular mounting base 100 to swing.
[0044] When the vertical sweeping motor 210 operates, its output shaft is fixed within the shaft fixing assembly. The housing rotates relative to the shaft, causing the annular mounting base 100 to rotate around the axis of the rotating bearing 310. Existing longitudinal sweeping mechanisms typically employ a motor component mounted within a support column, with the fan blade assembly oscillating around the support column. This makes it difficult for most longitudinally sweeping fans to break free from their inherent structure. The fan oscillation structure of this embodiment utilizes an inverted vertical sweeping motor 210, effectively reducing the volume of the support column 300 and concealing the motor within the annular mounting base 100. This significantly reduces the overall weight of the desktop fan and provides more possibilities for structural design variations.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a fan motor mounting base 111 is provided in the middle of the shaft housing 110, and the fan motor mounting base 111 is located at the center of the annular mounting base 100. Specifically, the fan motor is installed inside the fan motor mounting base 111, and reinforcing ribs are provided extending from the periphery of the fan motor mounting base 111 toward the inner wall of the annular mounting base 100. The reinforcing ribs are perpendicular to the main shaft housing, thereby improving the structural strength of the annular mounting base 100.
[0046] Furthermore, the front and rear end faces of the fan blade motor mounting base 111 are provided with through fan blade shaft holes 111a, allowing the output shaft of the fan blade motor to extend to the outside from the fan blade shaft holes 111a at both ends. Specifically, the output shaft of the fan blade motor can adopt a single-shaft structure or a double-shaft structure. The output shaft extends to the outside from the fan blade shaft hole 111a and is detachably installed with the fan blade. A fan cover is used to snap-fit the annular mounting base 100 from both ends, enabling the fan blade motor to drive the fan blade inside the fan head to rotate at high speed.
[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a vertical motor mounting base 112 is provided on the side of the rotating shaft housing 110 near the connecting sleeve 113, and the housing of the vertical sweeping motor 210 is fixedly installed in the vertical motor mounting base 112.
[0048] Specifically, the vertical motor mounting base 112 abuts against the inner wall of the annular mounting base 100, and the vertical motor mounting base 112 is connected to the connecting sleeve 113, so that the output shaft of the vertical sweeping motor 210 can extend into the connecting sleeve 113.
[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the shaft fixing assembly includes a fixing seat 320 and a linkage seat 330. The fixing seat 320 is fixedly connected to the support column 300. One end of the linkage seat 330 is inserted into the output shaft of the vertical sweeping motor 210, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 320.
[0050] Specifically, the periphery of the fixed base 320 is fixed to the support column 300 by at least two sets of screws, and the fixed base 320 and the linkage base 330 are fixed together by at least two sets of screws. The other end of the linkage base 330 extends into the connecting sleeve 113 and is inserted into the output shaft inside the connecting sleeve 113. In this embodiment, the main function of the linkage base 330 is to be inserted into the output shaft to fix the position of the output shaft.
[0051] In other embodiments, the output shaft of the vertical sweeping motor 210 can also be designed to be longer, passing through the connecting sleeve 113 and directly plugged into the fixing seat 320.
[0052] Furthermore, the linkage seat 330 is disposed inside the connecting sleeve 113, and a gap is left between the outer wall of the linkage seat 330 and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 113. A certain distance is left between the linkage seat 330 and the connecting sleeve 113 to facilitate the rotation of the connecting sleeve 113. The linkage seat 330 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 320, and the connecting sleeve 113 rotates synchronously with the housing of the vertical sweeping motor 210.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 113 is fitted with the inner ring of the rotating bearing 310. When the annular mounting base 100 swings, the connecting sleeve 113 and the inner ring of the rotating bearing 310 rotate synchronously. Specifically, the connecting sleeve 113 is fitted with the inner ring of the rotating bearing 310, and the end of the connecting sleeve 113 is provided with a buckle that engages with the side wall of the inner ring of the rotating bearing 310 to prevent the connecting sleeve 113 from separating from the inner ring of the rotating bearing 310.
[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the end of the connecting sleeve 113 is provided with a stroke protrusion 114, and the fixed seat 320 is provided with a limit groove 321. The stroke protrusion 114 slides in the limit groove 321. When the annular mounting seat 100 swings, the stroke protrusion 114 slides in the limit groove 321.
[0055] Specifically, the travel protrusion 114 protrudes from the end face of the connecting sleeve 113 and engages with the limiting groove 321. When the connecting sleeve 113 rotates, the travel protrusion 114 slides to the end of the limiting groove 321, and the vertical sweeping motor 210 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the connecting sleeve 113 to swing in the opposite direction. The above process is repeated to achieve longitudinal swing sweeping.
[0056] like Figures 1-2As shown, the desktop fan includes the aforementioned fan oscillation structure, and also includes a fan base 400, a horizontal oscillation disk 410, and a horizontal drive motor 420. Specifically, the horizontal oscillation disk 410 and the horizontal drive motor 420 are disposed inside the fan base 400. The end of the support column 300 is fixedly connected to the middle of the horizontal oscillation disk 410, and an oscillation rack 411 is disposed around the periphery of the horizontal oscillation disk 410. The output shaft of the horizontal drive motor 420 is driven by the meshing of the oscillation rack 411 with the transmission gear 421, thereby driving the horizontal oscillation disk 410 and the support column 300 to rotate horizontally.
[0057] Furthermore, the support column 300 is provided with a crossbeam 301 and a longitudinal beam 302. One end of the crossbeam 301 is fixedly connected to the middle of the horizontal swing disk 410, and the other end extends to the periphery of the fan base 400 and is connected to the longitudinal beam 302. The other end of the longitudinal beam 302 extends upward and is connected to the annular mounting base 100.
[0058] The support column 300 adopts an L-shaped structure, which ensures that the fan head and the fan base 400 are on the center line, while the horizontal rotation of the fan head is still centered on the middle of the horizontal swing disk 410.
