Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of handheld fans, and in particular to an intelligent handheld fan that can automatically adjust the wind speed according to the ambient temperature. Background Technology

[0002] Fans are one of the most frequently used electrical appliances in daily life. They not only accelerate air circulation but also bring coolness. However, due to their large size, traditional fans can only be used indoors. Currently, miniaturized handheld fans have emerged, which are significantly smaller and lighter than traditional fans, making them particularly suitable for carrying around.

[0003] Most handheld fans today still use buttons as switches to control their operation, lacking a high level of intelligence. Switching between fan speeds requires multiple button presses, making the process cumbersome. Furthermore, current handheld fans cannot automatically adjust fan speed based on ambient temperature, necessitating frequent manual adjustments and failing to provide optimal airflow in response to changes in external temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an intelligent handheld fan that can automatically adjust the wind speed according to the ambient temperature. This aims to solve the technical problems of inconvenient wind speed adjustment operation and lack of automatic wind speed adjustment function according to environmental changes in existing handheld fans.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an intelligent handheld fan capable of automatically adjusting wind speed according to ambient temperature, comprising a fan handle, a base, and a housing. The housing is fixed to the upper side of the fan handle, and the base is detachably mounted on the lower side of the fan handle.

[0006] A temperature sensor and a touch sensor are installed inside the fan handle. The base is fastened to the fan handle via a snap-fit ​​assembly, which includes at least two insert plates with several retaining rings on each plate. The retaining rings contact the inner wall of the fan handle, thereby controlling the start and stop of the motor.

[0007] Preferably, the outer periphery of the fan handle is provided with a first mounting position and a second mounting position; the touch sensor is mounted on the first mounting position and the temperature sensor is mounted on the second mounting position; an electrical cavity is also provided inside the fan handle.

[0008] Preferably, the length of the first mounting position is less than half the total length of the fan handle; the second mounting position is located on the side close to the housing.

[0009] Preferably, the electrical cavity also houses a circuit board, a processor, a battery, and a charging interface; wherein the battery and the processor are electrically connected to the circuit board, and the charging interface is connected to the outside.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the fan handle is provided with a switch slot; the plug plate is detachably installed in the switch slot; and a main contact switch is fixed on the inner wall of the switch slot.

[0011] Preferably, two grooves are formed between the three retaining rings, the size of which is consistent with the main contact switch; wherein, a secondary contact switch is provided on the lower side of the uppermost retaining ring.

[0012] Preferably, a motor is installed in the middle of the housing, and the motor has fan blades mounted on a rotor shaft; an outer cover is also installed on one side of the housing.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention, which provides an intelligent handheld fan capable of automatically adjusting wind speed according to ambient temperature, are as follows:

[0014] 1. With the touch sensor and latching assembly, the fan automatically turns on when the user picks it up and immediately turns off when they release it. When using the fan on a desktop, a simple tap turns it off, eliminating the need to search for buttons and greatly reducing the hassle of starting and stopping the fan. Furthermore, the fan can freely switch control modes depending on whether it's handheld or on a desktop, providing more diverse and convenient control methods.

[0015] 2. The contact between the retaining ring and the inner wall of the fan handle controls the motor's start and stop. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly not only functions as a power switch for the fan but also enables quick assembly and disassembly of the base, making the fan's removal and installation process faster and more convenient.

[0016] 3. The temperature sensor can detect the ambient temperature and automatically adjust the fan speed. When the ambient temperature rises, the fan speed increases to provide stronger cooling; when the temperature drops, the fan speed decreases to save power and avoid overcooling. The microcontroller inside the fan controls the motor speed in real time based on the temperature sensor data, achieving a constant and suitable airflow output without manual adjustment.

[0017] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0028] See Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an intelligent handheld fan that can automatically adjust the wind speed according to the ambient temperature. It includes a fan handle 10, a base 20 and a housing 30. The housing 30 is fixed to the upper side of the fan handle 10. A motor 31 is installed in the middle of the housing 30. Fan blades 32 are installed on the motor 31 through a rotor shaft. An outer cover 33 is also installed on one side of the housing 30. The base 20 is detachably installed on the lower side of the fan handle 10. The fan motor is located inside the fan itself.

[0029] The fan handle 10 houses a temperature sensor and a touch sensor. A first mounting position 12 and a second mounting position 13 are located on the outer periphery of the fan handle 10. The touch sensor is mounted on the first mounting position 12, and the temperature sensor is mounted on the second mounting position 13. An electrical cavity 11 is also formed inside the fan handle 10. The length of the first mounting position 12 is less than half the total length of the fan handle 10, and the second mounting position 13 is located near the outer casing 30. The temperature sensor senses the ambient temperature and sends the detection signal to the processor, which automatically adjusts the speed of the motor 31 based on the signal. The touch sensor detects the user's grip on the fan and controls the motor's start and stop. The touch sensor triggers the motor to start when the user grips the fan and stops it when the user releases the grip, thus allowing for fan start / stop control without pressing any buttons. Both the temperature sensor and the touch sensor are electrically connected to the fan's control circuit and do not interfere with each other; therefore, the movement of the touch sensor will not affect the normal detection of ambient temperature by the temperature sensor.

[0030] The base 20 is fastened to the fan handle 10 via a snap-fit ​​assembly. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes at least two insert plates 21, each with three retaining rings 22. The retaining rings 22 contact the inner wall of the fan handle 10, thereby controlling the motor's start and stop. Furthermore, this snap-fit ​​assembly not only functions as a fan power switch but also enables quick disassembly and assembly of the base, making the fan's installation and removal process faster and more convenient.

[0031] The electrical cavity 11 also houses a circuit board, a processor, a battery, and a charging interface. The battery and processor are electrically connected to the circuit board, and the charging interface is connected to the outside. The charging interface and the wire opening between the fan handle 10 and the outer casing 30 are sealed. The switching mechanism is achieved through the contact of the snap-fit ​​assembly. Therefore, the entire fan handle 10 is a sealed space, which provides a certain degree of waterproofing.

[0032] The bottom of the fan handle 10 also has a switch slot 15. The insert plate 21 is detachably installed in the switch slot 15. A main contact switch 14 is fixed on the inner wall of the switch slot 15. Two grooves are formed between the three retaining rings 22, and the size of the grooves is the same as that of the main contact switch 14. The uppermost retaining ring 22 has a secondary contact switch on its lower side. When the secondary contact switch and the main contact switch 14 are in contact, the fan circuit is connected and the fan starts running; when they are separated, the fan circuit is disconnected and the fan stops running. This pair of contact switches on the snap-fit ​​assembly ensures that the fan can still be started and stopped normally when placed on a desktop, significantly increasing the fan's control methods. In addition, the user can directly turn off the running fan by pressing down on the fan handle 10 or tapping the outer casing 30, further improving the convenience of the fan shutdown operation.

[0033] Working principle: When used handheld, the user can start the fan by simply holding the fan handle 10. Since the length of the first mounting position 12 is approximately half the total length of the fan handle 10, the user's palm can easily reach the touch sensor, triggering the motor 31 to run and drive the fan to blow air. When no longer in use, the user releases their hand or puts the fan in their bag, the touch sensor is deactivated as the palm is removed, and the fan automatically turns off.

[0034] During fan operation, a temperature sensor continuously monitors changes in ambient temperature: when the ambient temperature rises, the processor controls the fan to increase its speed to provide stronger cooling; when the ambient temperature drops, the fan reduces its speed to save power and avoid overcooling.

[0035] When the fan needs to be placed on a desktop, since the touch sensor on the first mounting position 12 is not triggered, the main contact switch 14 can be moved to the upper recess position and make contact with the secondary contact switch of the upper retaining ring 22 by gently lifting the fan handle 10 along with the base 20. The fan will then be turned on and operate normally. To turn off the fan, simply tap the fan to return the main contact switch 14 to the lower recess and disengage it from the secondary contact switch, thus turning off the fan.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
