[0028] The electric fan of a hair dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of an electric fan for a hair dryer.

[0030] An electric fan for a hair dryer according to an embodiment of this utility model, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The hair dryer has a housing 100, and an electric fan is installed inside the housing 100. The electric fan includes a cylinder 110, a blower 120, a rotor assembly 130, a stator assembly 140, and an impeller 150. The radial outer surface of the blower 120 matches the inner surface of the cylinder 110. The rotor assembly 130 and the stator assembly 140 are installed inside the blower 120 and rotate relative to each other. The impeller 150 and the rotor assembly 130 are coaxially connected.

[0031] One end of the cylinder 110 has a coaxial first convex ring 160, and the other end has a coaxial second convex ring 170. The radial outer surfaces of the first convex ring 160 and the second convex ring 170 are engaged with the inner surface of the housing 100 to form a buffer cavity between the radial outer surface of the cylinder 110 and the inner surface of the housing 100.

[0032] It is understood that by setting the first convex ring 160 and the second convex ring 170, the radial outer surface area of ​​the first convex ring 160 and the second convex ring 170 is small, which reduces the contact area between the housing 100 and the cylinder 110. Furthermore, a buffer cavity is formed between the radial outer surface of the cylinder 110, the first convex ring 160, the second convex ring 170 and the housing 100. The buffer cavity can effectively absorb the impact energy during a drop or impact, prevent the impact force from being transmitted to the internal motor and fan assembly, reduce damage and deformation to the motor and impeller 150, and avoid rotor dynamic imbalance.

[0033] The outer radial surface of the cylinder 110 has a coaxial third convex ring 180, which is located in the buffer cavity, and the diameter of the third convex ring 180 is smaller than the diameter of the first convex ring 160 and the second convex ring 170.

[0034] It is understood that by setting a third convex ring 180, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the two end convex rings, the third convex ring 180 can form a buffer structure, enhance the impact resistance, further prevent rotor dynamic imbalance, and improve the durability of the electric fan.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cylinder 110 is made of silicone. It is understood that silicone has both high elasticity and damping properties, and can absorb high-frequency vibration and low-frequency impact.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-section of the third convex ring 180 is triangular.

[0037] It is understandable that the third convex ring 180 of the triangular cross section has a gradually changing structure. During the process of receiving impact force, the buffering force of the third convex ring 180 continuously increases, which is more conducive to the absorption of impact force.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3 The first convex ring 160 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 190, which are arranged circumferentially along the first convex ring 160. The protrusions 190 protrude along the axis of the cylinder 110 and away from the impeller 150. It can be understood that the protrusions 190 abut against the end of the housing 100. The circumferentially distributed protrusions 190 form multi-point elastic support, disperse the impact force distribution, and improve the axial impact resistance.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the protrusion 190 has a sawtooth structure, making the protrusion 190 a gradual structure. The buffering force of the protrusion 190 increases continuously during the process of receiving impact force, which is more conducive to the absorption of impact force.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the rotor assembly 130 has a rotating shaft 200, an impeller 150 is mounted on the rotating shaft 200, the impeller 150 is located inside the air duct 120 and is set close to the first convex ring 160. Therefore, the vibration generated during the rotation of the impeller 150 can be absorbed by the first convex ring 160, reducing the vibration generated when the blower is working.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, an installation sleeve 210 is provided inside the air duct 120. The interior of the installation sleeve 210 matches the rotating shaft 200. Multiple air ducts are formed between the outer surface and the inner surface of the installation sleeve 210. The air ducts allow the fluid generated by the impeller 150 to pass through. It can be understood that when the airflow generated by the impeller 150 passes through the air duct, the air duct achieves airflow rectification and reduces turbulence noise.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, there are multiple spiral plates 220 between the mounting sleeve 210 and the mounting sleeve 210, and an air duct is formed between two adjacent spiral plates 220.

[0043] It is understandable that the spiral duct formed by the spiral plate 220 generates rotating airflow, which enhances the centrifugal pressurization effect.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, two bearings 230 and a spring 240 are sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 200. The bearings 230 are installed inside the mounting sleeve 210 to ensure the stability of the rotation of the rotating shaft 200.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, a terminal block 250 is connected to the end of the stator assembly 140, and the terminal block 250 is provided with a socket 260. Therefore, the modular design of the socket 260 facilitates quick assembly and maintenance.

[0046] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
