TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to fan accessory technical field especially, it relates to a fan's steering structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The steering structure of traditional fan adopts the mechanical transmission mode of gear box and connecting rod mechanism to realize the head shaking function. For example, the common design is to set the worm gear reduction mechanism at the motor output end, and the fan head is swung left and right through the connecting rod. Although this structure can realize the basic head shaking air supply function, it has the following inherent defects: 1. Complex mechanical structure: the cooperation of gear box and multi-stage connecting rod leads to many components and complicated assembly process, which not only increases the production cost, but also easily causes failure due to mechanical wear, and the maintenance cost is high; 2. Significant operating noise: the friction vibration generated in the gear meshing transmission process is easy to produce noise, especially when running at high speed, which affects the user experience; 3. High space occupancy rate: the gear box and connecting rod mechanism need to occupy a large horizontal space, which makes it difficult to reduce the overall size of the fan, limiting the miniaturization design of the product; 4. Poor meshing of the mesh cover: the mesh cover is usually fixed on the periphery of the fan blade in the traditional design, and cannot rotate synchronously with the head shaking mechanism, resulting in a visual gap between the mesh cover and the moving parts, and there is a safety hazard of movement gap.
