Introducing intelligent voice control requires consideration of the installation of a voice module to avoid affecting the consistency of the whole machine or interfering with the airflow. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a duct structure and an air outlet device to solve the problem that the operation of existing air coolers is limited to remote control or direct pressing of air cooler buttons, which is not convenient enough. Introducing intelligent voice control requires consideration of the installation of the voice module to avoid problems such as affecting the consistency of the whole machine and interfering with the airflow.

[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a duct structure, including a duct body, the duct body having a duct, the duct body being provided with a voice module mounting structure, the voice module mounting structure being located on one side of the duct, and the voice module being fixedly mounted on the voice module mounting structure.

[0005] Beneficial effects: The air duct structure of this application integrates the voice module into the air duct structure by setting the voice module mounting structure on the air duct body and placing the voice module mounting structure on one side of the air duct. The voice module is fixedly installed on the voice module mounting structure, thereby eliminating the need for an additional structure to support the voice module and reducing the impact on the consistency of the air duct structure. At the same time, the voice module is installed on one side of the air duct through the voice module mounting structure, which does not affect the air intake and exhaust of the air duct and ensures the air intake and exhaust efficiency of the air duct.

[0006] In some embodiments, the voice module includes a speaker, which is fixedly mounted on the voice module mounting structure.

[0007] Beneficial effect: By fixing the speaker to the voice module mounting structure, the speaker can be integrated into the air duct structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the voice module mounting structure is provided with a slot, and the speaker is fixedly mounted in the slot.

[0009] Beneficial effects: By setting a slot in the voice module mounting structure, the speaker is fixedly installed in the slot. The slot can position the speaker, reduce speaker displacement, and ensure the reliability of the speaker installation position. At the same time, the slot also wraps and protects the speaker, reducing dust entry and helping the speaker maintain its sound performance.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the groove is provided with a first rib, and the speaker is fixed to the groove by the first rib.

[0011] Beneficial effects: By setting the first rib on the side wall of the tank, the speaker is locked in place by snapping with the first rib when placed in the tank, thus achieving the locking and fixing of the speaker, ensuring the reliability of the speaker and tank fit, reducing speaker shaking. At the same time, the setting of the first rib also enhances the structural strength of the side wall of the tank. In addition, the first rib changes the surface contact between the speaker and the tank to a line contact fit, that is, there is a gap between the speaker and the tank, which is also conducive to the heat dissipation of the speaker.

[0012] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first rib increases along the direction from the opening to the bottom of the groove.

[0013] Beneficial effects: By setting the first rib to have increased thickness along the groove opening to the bottom of the groove, it is easier to put the speaker into the groove during installation, reducing the installation difficulty. The closer the speaker is to the bottom of the groove, the tighter it is held in place by the first rib. At the same time, it can also avoid the situation where the speaker is difficult to install into the groove or the speaker shakes when installed in the groove due to manufacturing errors of the groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom of the trough is provided with a first reinforcing rib, which abuts against the bottom of the speaker.

[0015] Beneficial effects: By setting a first reinforcing rib at the bottom of the tank, the structural strength of the bottom of the tank is enhanced, reducing the possibility of weakening the structural strength due to the slotting of the voice module installation structure.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first reinforcing rib includes a second rib and a third rib, the second rib being disposed at the bottom of the groove along a first direction, and the third rib being disposed at the bottom of the groove along a second direction, the second direction being at an angle to the first direction.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By setting a second rib along the first direction at the bottom of the tank and a third rib along the second direction at the bottom of the tank, with the second direction and the first direction forming an angle, the structural strength of the bottom of the tank along the second and third directions is enhanced.

[0018] In some embodiments, the second rib and the third rib are provided with a plurality of protrusions extending toward the speaker, and the second rib and the third rib abut against the speaker through the plurality of protrusions.

[0019] Beneficial effects: By setting multiple protrusions extending toward the speaker on the second and third ribs, and having these protrusions abut against the speaker to achieve point contact, the situation where the speaker is raised and does not meet the installation position requirements due to manufacturing deformation of the second and / or third ribs can be avoided.

[0020] In some embodiments, a second reinforcing rib is provided on the side of the groove opposite to the speaker.

[0021] Beneficial effect: A second reinforcing rib is further provided on the side of the tank away from the speaker, which further enhances the structural strength of the side of the tank away from the speaker.

[0022] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the groove is provided with a cable routing groove.

[0023] Beneficial effects: By setting a cable tray on the side wall of the tank, the cable tray facilitates the connection of the speaker wires, realizes electrical connection, and reduces the bending and breakage of the wires.

[0024] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the channel is further provided with a clearance groove, and the clearance groove and the wiring groove are respectively located on different sidewalls of the channel.

[0025] Beneficial effects: The designed clearance groove can avoid the protruding structure on the side of the speaker, ensuring that the speaker can be installed smoothly in the groove. By setting the clearance groove and the wiring groove on different side walls of the groove, the situation where the clearance groove and the wiring groove are located on the same side wall of the groove is avoided, which would result in a weak side wall structure.

[0026] In some embodiments, the air duct body and the voice module mounting structure are integrally formed.

[0027] Beneficial effects: By integrating the air duct body and the voice module mounting structure into one piece, manufacturing processes can be saved and assembly between the two can be reduced, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0028] A second aspect of this application provides an air outlet device, including a housing and the air duct structure of this application, wherein the housing has a mounting cavity and the air duct structure is disposed in the mounting cavity.

[0029] Beneficial effects: The air outlet device of this application includes the air duct structure of this application. Therefore, the air outlet device of this application has the same technical effects as the air duct structure of this application, which will not be described in detail here.

[0030] In some embodiments, the housing includes a front shell and a rear shell fixedly connected, with the mounting cavity formed between the rear shell and the front shell. The air duct structure is fixedly connected to at least one of the front shell and the rear shell. The front shell is provided with a sound inlet, and the rear shell is provided with a horn. The voice module includes a microphone and a speaker. The microphone and the sound inlet are correspondingly arranged, and the speaker and the horn are correspondingly arranged.

[0031] Beneficial effects: The front and rear shells work together to support the installation of the air duct structure and provide shielding and protection for the air duct structure. The horn-shaped opening facilitates the transmission of voice from the speaker. The horn-shaped opening on the rear shell does not affect the aesthetics of the front of the air outlet. The sound inlet facilitates the transmission of user voice to the microphone, and the microphone is located on the front shell for easier reception of user voice commands.

[0032] In some embodiments, the air outlet device is a cooling fan. Attached Figure Description

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0049] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "first", "second", 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.

[0050] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0052] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 9 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, a duct structure is disclosed, including a duct body 1, the duct body 1 having a duct 11, the duct body 1 being provided with a voice module mounting structure 2, the voice module mounting structure 2 being located on one side of the duct 11, and a voice module being fixedly mounted on the voice module mounting structure 2.

[0054] The air duct structure of this application integrates the voice module into the air duct structure by setting the voice module mounting structure 2 on the air duct body 1 and placing the voice module mounting structure 2 on one side of the air duct 11. The voice module is fixedly installed on the voice module mounting structure 2, thereby eliminating the need for an additional structure to support the installation of the voice module and reducing the impact on the consistency of the air duct structure. At the same time, the voice module is installed on one side of the air duct 11 through the voice module mounting structure 2, which does not affect the air intake and exhaust of the air duct 11, thus ensuring the air intake and exhaust efficiency of the air duct 11.

[0055] It should be noted that when using the voice function, the user speaks the function keyword (such as increasing the wind speed). After receiving the voice command, the voice module transmits it to the motherboard. After analysis and recognition, the motherboard feeds back the corresponding electrical signal to the voice module, which then provides feedback to the user in the form of voice.

[0056] Understandably, the air duct 11 contains a fan and a motor. The motor drives the fan to rotate, and the fan's rotation draws air into the air duct 11, which then blows it towards the user.

[0057] In this embodiment, the voice module includes a speaker 3, which is fixedly installed on the voice module mounting structure 2.

[0058] The speaker 3 is used to diffuse and feed back the voice to the user. By fixing the speaker 3 to the voice module mounting structure 2, the speaker 3 is integrated into the air duct structure.

[0059] It should be noted that the voice module also includes a microphone for receiving user voice commands. In other embodiments, the microphone can be fixedly installed on the voice module mounting structure 2, thereby integrating the microphone into the air duct structure; or the microphone and speaker 3 can be simultaneously installed on the voice module mounting structure 2, thereby integrating them into the air duct structure.

[0060] In some embodiments, the voice module mounting structure 2 and the air duct body 1 are integrally formed.

[0061] By molding the air duct body 1 and the voice module mounting structure 2 into one piece, manufacturing processes can be saved and assembly between the two can be reduced, thus improving production efficiency. At the same time, no additional connecting structure is needed to connect the two, ensuring the connection strength between the voice module mounting structure 2 and the air duct body 1.

[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, the voice module mounting structure 2 and the air duct body 1 can also be fixed in other ways, such as by screwing, snapping or welding.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the voice module mounting structure 2 is provided with a slot 21, and the speaker 3 is fixedly mounted in the slot 21.

[0064] By setting a slot 21 on the voice module mounting structure 2, the speaker 3 is fixedly installed in the slot 21. The slot 21 can position the speaker 3, reduce the displacement of the speaker 3, and ensure the reliability of the speaker 3's installation position. At the same time, the slot 21 also wraps and protects the speaker 3, reducing the entry of dust and helping the speaker 3 maintain its sound performance.

[0065] Specifically, the shape of the slot 21 matches the shape of the speaker 3, but this application does not impose any limitations. For example, when the speaker 3 is circular, the slot 21 is a circular slot; when the speaker 3 is square, the slot 21 is a square slot. In this embodiment, the speaker 3 is square and the slot 21 is a square slot is used as an example for description.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the side wall of the trough 21 is provided with a first rib 22, and the speaker 3 is fixed to the trough 21 by the first rib 22.

[0067] By setting a first rib 22 on the side wall of the groove 21, the speaker 3 is locked in place with the first rib 22 when placed in the groove 21, thus achieving the locking and fixing of the speaker 3, ensuring the reliability of the cooperation between the speaker 3 and the groove 21, reducing the shaking of the speaker 3. At the same time, the setting of the first rib 22 also enhances the structural strength of the side wall of the groove 21. In addition, the first rib 22 changes the surface contact between the speaker 3 and the groove 21 to a line contact, that is, there is a gap between the speaker 3 and the groove 21, which is also conducive to the heat dissipation of the speaker 3.

[0068] Preferably, at least one of the materials of the first rib 22 and the speaker 3 has a certain elastic deformation capability (e.g., plastic). When the two are snapped together, the elastic deformation of the material can be used to achieve the snapping and tightening of the speaker 3.

[0069] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first rib 22 increases along the direction from the opening to the bottom of the groove 21.

[0070] By setting the first rib 22 to have increased thickness along the groove opening to the bottom of the groove body 21, it is easier to put the speaker 3 into the groove body 21 for installation, reducing the installation difficulty. The closer the speaker 3 is to the bottom of the groove, the tighter it is held by the first rib 22. At the same time, it can also avoid the speaker 3 being difficult to install into the groove body 21 or the speaker 3 shaking when installed in the groove body 21 due to manufacturing errors of the groove body 21.

[0071] Specifically, along the direction from the opening to the bottom of the groove 21, the thickness of the first rib 22 increases, that is, the side of the first rib 22 facing the internal space of the groove 21 forms a snap-fit ​​slope, and the speaker 3 gradually snaps and fixes itself to the snap-fit ​​slope during the process of inserting into the groove 21.

[0072] To elaborate further, without the aforementioned structure, the dimensions of the tank 21 may be too large or too small due to manufacturing errors. Specifically, this includes:

[0073] When the size of the slot 21 is too large, the speaker 3 may shake inside the slot 21 or even fall out of the slot 21 after being installed in the slot 21.

[0074] When the size of the slot 21 is too small, the speaker 3 cannot be placed inside the slot 21 for installation because the size of the slot 21 is smaller than the size of the speaker 3.

[0075] Meanwhile, even if the manufacturing error meets the requirements, existing methods still require precise alignment between the speaker 3 and the slot 21 during installation due to the size mismatch between the slot opening and the speaker 3, making the installation operation quite difficult. In contrast, the snap-fit ​​slope formed by the first rib 22 in this application allows the slot opening of the slot 21 to be larger than the size of the speaker 3, facilitating the insertion of the speaker 3 into the slot 21 and reducing installation difficulty. As the speaker 3 extends into the slot 21, it gradually engages with the first rib 22.

[0076] The number of first ribs 22 is not limited in this application and can be set as needed. In this embodiment, first ribs 22 are provided on all side walls of the groove 21, and the speaker 3 is circumferentially connected by the cooperation of multiple first ribs 22.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, two first ribs 22 can be provided at intervals on each side wall of the groove 21 to enhance the locking stability of the speaker 3.

[0078] Preferably, the length of the first rib 22 is equal to the depth of the groove 21, but this is not a limitation. For example, the length of the first rib 22 may also be less than the depth of the groove 21.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the trough 21 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 23, and the first reinforcing rib 23 abuts against the bottom of the speaker 3.

[0080] By setting a first reinforcing rib 23 at the bottom of the groove 21, the first reinforcing rib 23 enhances the structural strength of the bottom of the groove 21, reducing the situation where the structural strength is weakened due to the slotting of the voice module installation structure 2.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first reinforcing rib 23 includes a second rib 231 and a third rib 232, wherein the second rib 231 is disposed at the bottom of the groove 21 along a first direction, and the third rib 232 is disposed at the bottom of the groove 21 along a second direction, the second direction and the first direction being at an angle.

[0082] By setting a second rib 231 along the first direction at the bottom of the tank body 21 and a third rib 232 along the second direction at the bottom of the tank body 21, the second direction and the first direction are at an angle, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the bottom of the tank body 21 along the second direction and the third direction.

[0083] In this embodiment, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the second rib 231 and the third rib 232 are arranged perpendicularly and intersecting each other. However, it is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments, the second direction and the first direction may also be arranged at an angle of 60°, 120°, etc.

[0084] It should be noted here that, as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first direction is consistent with the direction indicated by the x-arrow, and the second direction is consistent with the direction indicated by the y-arrow.

[0085] In this embodiment, the second rib 231 and the third rib 232 both extend to the side wall of the tank 21 and are integrally connected with the two first ribs 22 on the side wall of the tank 21. The overall structural strength of the tank 21 is enhanced through the cooperation of the first rib 22, the second rib 231 and the third rib 232.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second rib 231 and the third rib 232 are provided with a plurality of protrusions 24 extending toward the speaker 3, and the second rib 231 and the third rib 232 abut against the speaker 3 through the plurality of protrusions 24.

[0087] By providing multiple protrusions 24 extending toward the speaker 3 on the second rib 231 and the third rib 232, and having the multiple protrusions 24 abut against the speaker 3 to achieve point contact, the situation where the speaker 3 is raised and does not meet the installation position requirements due to the production deformation of the second rib 231 and / or the third rib 232 can be avoided.

[0088] In detail, the voice module mounting structure 2 is integrally injection molded. The protrusion 24 provides a gap between the second rib 231 and the third rib 232 and the bottom of the speaker 3, which can reserve space for the production deformation of the second rib 231 and the third rib 232, thereby ensuring the installation position of the speaker 3.

[0089] Specifically, the second rib 231 and the third rib 232 are each provided with a plurality of evenly spaced protrusions 24 to effectively support the bottom of the speaker 3.

[0090] This application does not impose any restrictions on the shape of the protrusion 24, and it can be set as needed. For example, the protrusion 24 can be elliptical, semi-circular, square, etc.

[0091] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a second reinforcing rib 25 is provided on the side of the groove 21 away from the speaker 3.

[0092] Furthermore, a second reinforcing rib 25 is provided on the side of the groove 21 away from the speaker 3, which further enhances the structural strength of the side of the groove 21 away from the speaker 3.

[0093] This application does not limit the number of second reinforcing ribs 25. The number of second reinforcing ribs 25 can be set according to the size of the groove 21. For example, the larger the size of the groove 21, the more second reinforcing ribs 25 can be set. In this embodiment, the number of second reinforcing ribs 25 is set to two, which are spaced apart on the side of the groove 21 away from the speaker 3.

[0094] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall of the groove 21 is provided with a wiring groove 211.

[0095] By setting a wiring trough 211 on the side wall of the trough 21, the wiring trough 211 facilitates the connection of the speaker 3 to the wire, realizes the electrical connection, and reduces the bending and breakage of the wire.

[0096] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall of the tank 21 is also provided with a clearance groove 212, and the clearance groove 212 and the wiring groove 211 are respectively located on different sidewalls of the tank 21.

[0097] The side wall of the groove 21 is also provided with a clearance groove 212. The clearance groove 212 can avoid the protruding structure on the side of the speaker 3, ensuring that the speaker 3 can be installed smoothly in the groove 21. By setting the clearance groove 212 and the wiring groove 211 on different side walls of the groove 21, the situation that the side wall structure is weak due to the clearance groove 212 and the wiring groove 211 being located on the same side wall of the groove 21 is avoided.

[0098] like Figure 7 As shown, it can be understood that the speaker 3 is a standard component, and its side generally has a protruding buckle structure. The clearance groove 212 can avoid the protruding buckle structure on the side of the speaker 3, so that the speaker 3 can be smoothly installed in the groove 21.

[0099] Since the speaker 3 has protruding buckle structures on both sides, this application provides clearance grooves 212 on both sides of the groove 21.

[0100] The second aspect of this application provides an air outlet device, including a housing, the air duct structure of this application, and a voice module, wherein the housing has a mounting cavity, the air duct structure is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the voice module is fixed to the air duct structure through a voice module mounting structure 2.

[0101] The air outlet device of this application includes the air duct structure of this application. Therefore, the air outlet device of this application has the same technical effect as the air duct structure of this application, and will not be described in detail here.

[0102] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing includes a front housing and a rear housing 10 fixedly connected, with an installation cavity formed between the rear housing 10 and the front housing. The air duct structure is fixedly connected to at least one of the front housing and the rear housing 10. The front housing is provided with a sound inlet, and the rear housing 10 is provided with a horn opening 1011. The voice module includes a microphone and a speaker 3, with the microphone and the sound inlet being correspondingly provided, and the speaker 3 and the horn opening 1011 being correspondingly provided.

[0103] The front and rear shells 10 work together to support the installation of the air duct structure and to shield and protect the air duct structure. The horn 1011 is set to facilitate the voice output of the speaker 3. The horn 1011 is set on the rear shell 10 without affecting the aesthetics of the front of the air outlet device. The sound inlet facilitates the transmission of the user's voice to the microphone. The microphone is set on the front shell to make it easier to receive the user's voice commands.

[0104] Preferably, the side of the speaker 3 facing the horn opening 1011 abuts against the rear shell 10, and the side of the microphone facing the sound inlet abuts against the front shell. That is, the speaker 3 is not matched with the rear shell 10, and the microphone is not matched with the front shell. This ensures that the sound emitted by the speaker 3 can be completely transmitted through the horn opening 1011, and external sound commands are transmitted to the microphone through the sound inlet. This prevents the sound emitted by the speaker 3 and the external sound from being dispersed into the mounting cavity, thus affecting the user experience. At the same time, the rear shell 10 can also limit the speaker 3, ensuring that the speaker 3 is located in the groove 21 and preventing it from falling out.

[0105] In this application, the groove 21 limits the sides and bottom of the speaker 3, and the rear shell 10 limits the top of the speaker 3. Thus, the groove 21 and the rear shell 10 cooperate to limit the speaker 3 in all directions, ensuring the installation stability of the speaker 3.

[0106] Of course, in other embodiments, there may also be reasonable assembly gaps between the speaker 3 and the rear housing 10, and between the microphone and the front housing.

[0107] Specifically, the front side of the front shell and the front side of the air duct structure, as well as the rear side of the rear shell 10 and the rear side of the air duct structure, can be directly connected by snap-fit, screw-fit, or other methods. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0108] The voice module also includes a motherboard, which is connected to the speaker 3 and the microphone. The user’s voice commands are transmitted to the microphone through the sound inlet. The microphone transmits the received voice commands to the motherboard. The motherboard processes and analyzes the received voice and feeds back the corresponding electrical signal to the speaker 3. The speaker 3 is used to feed back the sound and transmits it to the user through the horn port 1011.

[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing is provided with a handle 101, and a flared opening 1011 is provided on the handle 101.

[0110] The handle 101 is designed to allow users to move the air outlet device. The horn 1011 is located on the handle 101, which reduces the impact on the overall consistency of the machine and ensures the overall aesthetics. It does not interfere with the airflow of the air outlet device and also provides enough space for sound to diffuse.

[0111] In some embodiments, the handle portion 101 is configured as a recessed groove facing the mounting cavity, and the flared opening 1011 is provided at the bottom or sidewall of the groove.

[0112] The groove provides a leverage point for the user. When the air outlet needs to be moved, the user can simply put their hand into the groove to lift and move the air outlet. The flare 1011 can be set at the bottom or side wall of the groove as needed to achieve a hidden setting without affecting the overall aesthetics of the air outlet.

[0113] In this embodiment, the horn opening 1011 is disposed at the bottom of the groove, and the side of the speaker 3 facing the horn opening 1011 abuts against the bottom of the groove. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the horn opening 1011 can also be disposed on the side wall of the groove, and the side of the speaker 3 facing the horn opening 1011 abuts against the side wall of the groove.

[0114] This application does not impose any restrictions on the shape of the groove, which can be set as needed. In this embodiment, the groove is set to be elongated along the width direction of the air outlet device.

[0115] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the handle 101 is disposed on the rear shell 10, and the flared opening 1011 is disposed on the handle 101 of the rear shell 10. However, it is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments, the handle 101 can also be disposed on both the front shell and the rear shell 10, and the flared opening 1011 can be disposed on the handle 101 of the rear shell 10.

[0116] In some embodiments, the air outlet device is a cooling fan.

[0117] However, this is not the only option. In other embodiments, the air outlet device can also be a regular fan, a circulating fan, or the like.

[0118] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
