Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to household electric fan products, in particular to a liftable supporting pipe mechanism of electric fan. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fan is a traditional cooling tool, which uses electric energy to drive fan blades to rotate, and the rotating fan agitates air to flow to achieve the effect of cooling. The supporting pipe of the current floor fan is generally designed to be adjustable in height to meet the user's needs.

[0003] The existing height-adjustable fan includes a base, an outer pipe fixed above the base, a supporting pipe slidingly installed in the outer pipe, and a spiral spring. One end of the spiral spring is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the outer pipe, and the other end of the spiral spring is fixed to one end of the supporting pipe close to the outer pipe. The elastic force of the spiral spring is used to drive the supporting pipe to move away from the outer pipe, and the outer pipe is provided with a positioning component for fixing the position of the supporting pipe. When working, the fixing of the outer pipe and the supporting pipe is cancelled by the positioning component, and the supporting pipe moves away from the outer pipe under the elasticity of the spiral spring, thereby playing the role of automatically lifting the height of the fan.

[0004] Since the spiral spring is arranged inside the outer pipe and has a compression amount, the spiral spring occupies a large space inside the outer pipe, thereby causing the lifting height of the supporting pipe to be much smaller than the length of the outer pipe. If the lifting height of the supporting pipe needs to be increased, the length of the outer pipe must be increased, which makes the fan occupy a large space and needs to be improved. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] In order to reduce the space occupied by the fan and make the product smaller and more beautiful, the present application provides a liftable supporting pipe mechanism of electric fan.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, when it is needed to cancel the fixing of the lifting support rod and the outer tube, the end of the rotating rod away from the movable ring is pressed, so that the rotating rod rotates on the mounting portion, thereby canceling the insertion of the fixing block and the fixing groove.

[0014] Optionally, the outer wall of the outer tube is provided with an unlocking shell, and the unlocking shell covers the outer wall of the unlocking piece; the unlocking shell movably mounts an unlocking plate, and the unlocking plate is used to abut against the end of the rotating rod away from the movable ring.
