[0040] A cap 707 is rotatably connected to the first fixing rod 706. The cap 707 has an extension at its bottom, which is threaded to the third protrusion 705.

[0041] Furthermore, the second connecting device 800 includes a third connecting block 801 and a fourth connecting block 802, both of which are arc-shaped structures. The third connecting block 801 is provided with a fourth protrusion 8011, and the fourth connecting block 802 is provided with a fifth protrusion 8021. The fourth connecting block 802 and the fifth protrusion 8021 are respectively provided with a third threaded hole and a fourth threaded hole. The fourth protrusion 8011 and the fifth protrusion 8021 are connected by screws. With the setting of the third connecting block 801 and the fourth connecting block 802, the pad 600 can be easily connected to the support frame 200. At the same time, the third connecting block 801 and the fourth connecting block 802 are fitted on the support frame 200, so that the pad 600 can rotate around the support frame 200 to adjust the working state of the fan.

[0042] The third connecting block 801 is provided with a fifth connecting block 803, the fifth connecting block 803 is provided with a connecting plate 804, and the pad 600 is provided on the connecting plate 804.

[0043] The fourth connecting block 802 is provided with a sixth protrusion 805, the sixth protrusion 805 is provided with a through groove and a first groove 8052, the first groove 8052 is provided on the side wall of the through groove; a second fixing rod 810 is provided in the through groove, a connecting rod 806 is provided on the second fixing rod 810, and the support frame 200 is provided with a first fixing hole 202 and a second fixing hole 203 corresponding to the second fixing rod 810, the first fixing hole 202 and the second fixing hole 203 are arranged adjacent to each other at 90 degrees.

[0044] The second fixing rod 810 is provided with a third fixing rod 807. The third fixing rod 807 is provided with a first guide rod 808, a first spring 809, and a fixing block 811. The second fixing rod 810 is provided with a guide groove 8101 corresponding to the first guide rod 808 and a second groove 8102 for installing the first spring 809. The side wall of the through groove is provided with a fixing groove 8051 corresponding to the fixing block 811. The fixing block 811 is provided with an inclined groove. The connecting rod 806 is provided with a movable rod 812. The movable rod 812 is provided with a second spring 814. The third fixing rod 807 is provided with a guide block corresponding to the movable rod 812. The guide block is provided with an inclined surface. The connecting rod 806 is provided with a second guide rod 813. The movable rod 812 is provided with a guide hole. The second guide rod 813 is inserted into the guide hole to guide the movement of the movable rod 812 and ensure the contact effect between the movable rod 812 and the guide block.

[0045] When the fan is moving, the caster 500 rotates to a vertical position, and the pad 600 rotates to a horizontal position. The caster 500 contacts the ground, and the pad 600 is suspended in the air, facilitating the movement of the fan. When the fan is in use, the caster 500 rotates to a horizontal position, and the pad 600 rotates to a vertical position. The pad 600 contacts the ground, and the caster 500 is suspended in the air, fixing the fan in place and preventing it from moving during use. The rubber material of the pad 600 absorbs the vibration generated by the motor 300 and the fan 400, preventing the support frame 200 from bouncing on the ground and reducing the noise of the fan.

[0046] The following example illustrates the adjustment method by flipping the 500 caster wheel or the 600 pad to a horizontal position:

[0047] When adjusting the angle of the caster wheel 500, rotate the cap 707 to pull the first fixing rod 706 out of the first through hole, rotate the first connecting block 701 and the second connecting block 702, the first connecting block 701 and the second connecting block 702 drive the caster wheel 500 to rotate around the support frame 200, after the caster wheel 500 is flipped from the vertical state to the horizontal state, the first fixing rod 706 moves to the position of the second through hole 201, insert the first fixing rod 706 into the second through hole 201 and then rotate the cap 707, the cap 707 fixes the first fixing rod 706 on the third protrusion 705 to ensure the stability of the caster wheel 500 after the position is adjusted.

[0048] When adjusting the angle of the pad 600, hold the connecting rod 806 and push the movable rod 812 to move. The movable rod 812 abuts against the guide block and pushes the third fixing rod 807 to move. The third fixing rod 807 drives the fixing block 811 to move out of the fixing groove 8051. Pull the connecting rod 806 to pull the second fixing rod 810 and the third fixing rod 807 out of the first fixing hole 202. Rotate the third connecting block 801 and the fourth connecting block 802. The third connecting block 801 and the fourth connecting block 802 drive the pad 600 to rotate around the support frame 20. After rotating the pad 600 to a horizontal position, the third fixing rod 807 moves to the position of the second fixing hole 203. The connecting rod 806 is pushed so that the second fixing rod 810 and the third fixing rod 807 are inserted into the second fixing hole 203. The fixing block 811 moves with the third fixing rod 807 and is inserted into the fixing groove 8051 to fix the third fixing rod 807. Thus, the second fixing rod 810 and the third fixing rod 807 are fixed in the second fixing groove 8051, ensuring the stability of the pad 600 after the position is adjusted.

[0049] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
