Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a dual-purpose fan. Background Technology
[0002] Existing fans with foldable legs typically include floor fans and desktop fans. Chinese patent application number 202320411060.7 discloses a fan with foldable legs, including at least two foldable legs, and upper and lower cover plates that cooperate with each other. The top of the legs is mounted between the upper and lower cover plates via a rotating shaft. Chinese patent application number 202420445674.1 discloses a fan structure where an oscillating head assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main unit casing, and a leg assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oscillating head assembly. The leg assembly is composed of multiple support rods, the lower ends of which can be evenly distributed and unfolded along the center. Both types of fans have relatively short legs and are generally only suitable for desktop use, not for floor fans.
[0003] Chinese patent application number 202122129582.1 discloses a fan with an easily replaceable stand, relating to the field of floor fan technology. It includes a fan body and a stand connected to the fan body. The stand includes a connector detachably mounted to the fan body; several legs detachably mounted to the connector and capable of rotating relative to the connector; and a detachable structure, partly located on the connector and partly on the legs. While this fan can be placed on the floor, this is achieved by increasing the length of the legs. Clearly, a fan with excessively long legs is unsuitable for desktop use.
[0004] Therefore, existing fans with foldable feet typically have only one function: either as a floor fan or as a table fan, and are not dual-purpose. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to design a dual-purpose fan. By adding an openable support assembly that can replace the column to the traditional column fan, the fan head can be directly installed onto the openable support assembly after being removed from the column. At the same time, the openable support assembly is packaged and sold together with the column fan through a hidden design, so that the fan can be used as both a column fan and a table fan, which enhances product performance and improves user experience.
[0006] This application relates to a dual-purpose fan, including a head assembly, a column assembly, and a chassis assembly. The head assembly and the column assembly are detachably connected. The chassis assembly has a receiving portion, and the receiving portion has an openable and closable support leg assembly. The head assembly and the openable and closable support leg assembly are also detachably connected.
[0007] The opening and closing support leg assembly may include multiple opening and closing support legs and a mounting part for mounting the support legs; the top of the mounting part and the bottom of the head assembly may be respectively provided with positioning posts and positioning holes; the head assembly and the column assembly may be provided with mutually cooperating plug-in components; the plug-in component may include plug-in parts respectively provided on the head assembly and the column assembly and plug-in parts that cooperate with the plug-in parts; the bottom of the head assembly may also be provided with a button, the end of which may be provided with a spring, and the top of the column assembly may be provided with a fixing hole; when the head assembly and the column assembly are installed, the button may be located in the fixing hole; the receiving part is arranged laterally in the chassis assembly, and the receiving part may be two receiving slots.
[0008] The dual-purpose fan according to this application has the following technical advantages:
[0009] (1) By setting the opening and closing support component in a hidden manner, the opening and closing support component can be taken out and connected to the head assembly after the column assembly is removed, so that the fan can have the dual functions of a column fan and a table fan, which improves the product's scope of use and user experience.
[0010] (2) The opening and closing support leg assembly is hidden on the chassis assembly. The opening and closing support leg assembly can be installed without additional packaging or extra space. It is easy to install and remove, occupies little space, and is easy to pick up and put down. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0018] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the dual-purpose fan according to this application includes a head assembly 1, a column assembly 2, and a chassis assembly 3. The head assembly 1 and the column assembly 2 are detachably connected. The chassis assembly 3 has a receiving portion 30, and an openable / closable support leg assembly 4 is provided within the receiving portion 30. The head assembly 1 and the openable / closable support leg assembly 4 are also detachably connected. Figure 2-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the receiving portion 30 of this application can be in the form of a slot on the side of the chassis assembly 3, that is, the receiving portion 30 can be a receiving groove arranged laterally in the chassis assembly. The number of the receiving grooves can be two, so as to separately accommodate multiple support legs.
[0019] This application allows the fan to be used as a regular column fan by making the connection between the head assembly 1 and the column assembly 2 detachable. By additionally providing a hinged support assembly 4 that can be detachably connected to the head assembly 1, the hinged support assembly 4 can be removed and connected to the head assembly 1 after the column assembly 2 is detached, allowing the fan to be used as a desktop fan. Through these features, this application enables the fan to function as both a column fan and a desktop fan, improving the product's usability and user experience.
[0020] On the other hand, this application provides a receiving portion in the chassis assembly to accommodate the folding support leg assembly in its folded state, allowing the folding support leg assembly to be hidden within the chassis assembly. When the fan is used as a column fan, the folding support leg assembly is in a concealed folded state; only when the fan is used as a desktop fan is the folding support leg assembly removed from the receiving portion of the chassis assembly, unfolded, and then connected to the head assembly. This design eliminates the need for separate packaging or additional space to house the folding support leg assembly in this application's dual-purpose fan, making it easy to assemble and disassemble, space-saving, and convenient to handle.
[0021] More specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the head assembly 1 and the column assembly 2 can be connected using a plug-in structure. For example, the bottom of the head assembly 1 has a plug-in member 10, and the top of the column assembly 2 has a plug-in part that can mate with the plug-in member 10. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The bottom of the head assembly 1 also has a button 11, and the end of the button 11 has a spring. The top of the column assembly 2 has a fixing hole 21. When the head assembly 1 and the column assembly 2 are connected to each other, the plug-in member 10 is inserted into the plug-in part, and the button 11 passes through the fixing hole 21. When it is necessary to remove the head assembly 1 from the column assembly 2, simply squeeze the button 11 to release it from the constraint of the fixing hole 21, and at the same time pull the plug-in member 10 out of the plug-in part. Then, the opening and closing support leg assembly 4 can be pulled out from the chassis assembly 3 and installed on the bottom of the head assembly 1.
[0022] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the opening and closing support leg assembly 4 includes multiple opening and closing support legs 41 and a mounting part 40 for mounting the support legs 41. The support legs 41 can be detachably mounted to the mounting part 40 using a mounting structure found in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The head assembly 1 and the opening and closing support leg assembly 4 can be connected by a plug-in connection. In addition, multiple positioning posts 42 can be provided on the top of the mounting part 40, and multiple positioning holes can be provided on the bottom of the head assembly 1 for positioning and mounting between the head assembly 1 and the opening and closing support leg assembly 4. During installation, simply insert the positioning posts 42 into the positioning holes.
[0023] Although the embodiments disclosed in this application are as described above, the content is merely for the purpose of facilitating understanding of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art to which this application pertains may make any modifications and changes in the form and details of the implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in this application; however, the scope of patent protection of this application shall still be determined by the scope defined in the appended claims.
