Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Air circulators are primarily used for indoor air circulation to ensure a more even distribution of indoor air temperature. They can also be used as regular fans.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN217999915U discloses a detachable air circulator fan structure, specifically including a spherical mesh cover, a drive assembly, fan blades, and a support base. A protective mesh cover is detachably mounted on the front side of the spherical mesh cover. Specifically, the protective mesh cover can be locked to the front face of the spherical mesh cover with screws, or installed on the front face of the spherical mesh cover using a latch or snap-fit ​​mechanism, thus achieving a detachable connection between the protective mesh cover and the spherical mesh cover. Additionally, a mounting cavity is recessed inward on the back side of the spherical mesh cover. The mounting cavity has an opening and faces away from the protective mesh cover, with the opening extending towards the protective mesh cover to form a mounting port. The drive assembly is detachably mounted within the mounting cavity, and when the spherical mesh cover is separated from the drive assembly, the spherical mesh cover can be moved along a straight line, causing the spherical mesh cover to separate from the drive assembly. Therefore, when the spherical mesh cover needs cleaning, it can be disassembled independently for easy rinsing. The drive assembly includes a mounting housing and a first motor, with the mounting housing detachably connected to the mounting cavity. Furthermore, to improve the overall aesthetics of the mounting housing within the mounting cavity, its outer surface can be spherical. After assembly, the spherical surface of the mounting housing is flush with the outer spherical surface of the spherical mesh cover, forming a complete spherical structure, allowing the mounting housing to completely fill the opening of the mounting cavity. To enable the drive assembly to be installed, a mounting portion is provided on the outer side of the mounting housing, positioned close to the mounting opening. When the mounting portion is connected to the support base, it is located near the bottom side of the spherical mesh cover, and the mounting portion has a centerline A passing through the center of the spherical mesh cover. The first motor is fixedly installed inside the mounting housing and forms an integral structure with the mounting housing. The main shaft of the first motor extends into the spherical mesh cover, and the angle between the main shaft axis of the first motor and the center line A is 30° to 60°. The fan blades are detachably connected to the main shaft of the first motor.

[0004] When the circulating fan needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the user can remove the protective mesh cover and fan blades one by one, and then loosen the locking mechanism between the spherical mesh cover and the drive assembly. This allows the spherical mesh cover to be removed from the drive assembly in one direction, separating the two. Therefore, the spherical mesh cover, fan blades, and protective mesh cover can be disassembled and cleaned individually, making cleaning more convenient and thorough. The mounting part is within a 30° to 60° angle range with the main shaft of the first motor, allowing the support base to be located at the bottom of the spherical mesh cover. This reduces the distance from the air outlet surface of the spherical mesh cover to the back of the support base. The ability to disassemble the spherical mesh cover in a straight line not only makes the circulating fan structure compact and aesthetically pleasing, but also ensures balanced and stable support.

[0005] In the technical solutions disclosed in the aforementioned patent documents, during the fan assembly process, the housing needs to be connected to the drive mechanism inside the support base first, and then the drive components need to be installed. However, assembling the housing onto the support base first, and then installing the motor and other components of the drive components into the housing, results in a complicated installation operation and inconvenience for installation.

Figures 1 to 7 The air circulator fan structure includes a base 100, a rotary drive mechanism 200, a rotary table 300, and a main unit 400. The base 100 has a support surface at its bottom and an installation cavity 101 inside. A top plate 102 is formed on top of the installation cavity 101. The top plate 102 is inclined to the support surface; preferably, the top plate 102 is at an angle of 45° to 70° to the support surface, and more preferably 60°.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4The rotary drive mechanism 200 includes a mounting base 210, a drive motor 220, a drive gear 230, and a driven gear 240. The mounting base 210 is located inside the top plate 102, and its bottom side has a cavity. The drive gear 230 and driven gear 240 are located within the cavity and mesh with each other. The drive motor 220 is located on the bottom side of the mounting base 210 and connected to the drive gear 230. The top side of the driven gear 240 has a connecting shaft 241 that passes through the mounting base 210 and the top plate 102. A rotary table 300 is located at the end of the connecting shaft 241 that extends out of the mounting cavity 101. The rotary table 300 includes a mounting surface perpendicular to the connecting shaft 241. The mounting surface has two vertically upward-extending insertion sleeves 310. The bottom side of the circulating fan main unit 400 has two downward-extending insertion members 401, which are inserted into the insertion sleeves 310. The rotating drive mechanism 200 drives the circulating fan host 400 to rotate around the connecting shaft 241, thereby achieving wide-range air delivery.

[0033] In the air circulator structure described above, the rotary drive mechanism 200 is located on the bottom side of the top plate 102, and a connecting shaft 241 extending out of the top plate 102 is provided on the driven gear 240, while the rotary table 300 is fixed on the connecting shaft 241.
