Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tower fan technology, and in particular to a waterproof structure for tower fans. Background Technology
[0002] Tower fans, also known as impeller fans or vertical airflow fans, are widely popular due to their small footprint, gentle airflow, and stylish appearance. They typically contain a vertically mounted cylindrical impeller, which is driven by a motor located at the bottom of the impeller via a motor shaft.
[0003] However, existing tower fans have some shortcomings in terms of waterproofing. Because the motor needs to drive the upper impeller, the motor shaft must extend upwards from the base of the tower fan and pass through the internal structure. This through-hole becomes a weak point in waterproofing. In daily use, there may be accidental liquid splashes onto the tower fan, condensation in humid environments, or water ingress during cleaning and maintenance. Once these liquids enter the tower fan, they can easily seep along the gaps in the motor shaft into the drive motor and control circuitry below, causing short circuits, burnout of the motor, or circuit failures. This not only seriously affects the product's lifespan but also poses a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0025] (1) Achieving efficient labyrinth waterproofing: By setting up bottom cover components and top cover components with opposite and mutually separated openings, and setting their sleeves in an interlaced manner, a tortuous labyrinth channel is formed. This labyrinth channel utilizes air resistance and multiple and complex changes in the path to greatly increase the resistance to liquid penetration, effectively preventing the direct intrusion of liquid. Even if water pressure or water mist attempts to pass through, it will be blocked, slowed down and turned back multiple times in the tortuous path of the labyrinth channel. Its kinetic energy is fully consumed, and it will ultimately be unable to overcome this "air wall", thus achieving efficient passive waterproofing.
[0026] (2) Possesses active drainage and dredging capabilities: Water outlets are opened on the bottom cover assembly that forms a labyrinthine channel, and in conjunction with the inclined baffles and drainage outlets, the small amount of liquid that successfully breaks through the labyrinthine channel or condenses can be collected in time and discharged to the outside of the equipment, avoiding the accumulation of liquid inside the equipment and eliminating the risk of water accumulation.
[0027] (3) Ensure reliable sealing of key parts: A special seal is set in the middle of the upper cover assembly to block the motor shaft that runs through it, preventing water from flowing from the top of the upper cover assembly along the gap of the motor shaft to the drive motor below, thus achieving all-round waterproofing.

[0042] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0043] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0044] Some embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a waterproof structure for a tower fan, including:
[0046] Partition 2 serves as the installation base for the waterproof structure;
[0047] The bottom cover assembly 5 is fixedly mounted on the partition plate 2, with its opening facing upwards;
[0048] The upper cover assembly 6 is located above the lower cover assembly 5, is coaxial with the lower cover assembly 5 and is separated from it, and its opening faces downward;
[0049] Both the bottom cover assembly 5 and the top cover assembly 6 include at least one sleeve, and the sleeves of the two are staggered, that is, the sleeve of the top cover assembly 6 is inserted into the gap of the sleeve of the bottom cover assembly 5, and the staggered layout forms a tortuous labyrinthine channel 7 between the two. The falling liquid flows along this tortuous path, and its kinetic energy and penetration ability will be greatly weakened.
[0050] The sleeve of the bottom cover assembly 5 has several water outlets 51 located below the labyrinth channel 7. Liquid that has been collected and blocked by the labyrinth channel 7 can be discharged in time through the water outlets 51 to prevent the interior from accumulating and flooding in, thereby further preventing water from flowing into the drive motor 4 below.
[0051] The upper cover assembly 6 is provided with a sealing element 8 in the middle. The sealing element 8 can be set as an O-ring for key sealing of the motor shaft 41 that passes through it, further preventing water from flowing into the drive motor 4 from the top along the gap of the motor shaft 41, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance.
[0052] Working principle:
[0053] When liquid enters above the baffle 2, it falls from above and is first blocked and turbulent by the labyrinthine channel 7 formed by the staggered sleeves, which slows down and changes its flow direction. Then, the blocked liquid is discharged onto the baffle 2 through the outlet 51, so that the water cannot flow through the labyrinthine channel 7 and flow below the baffle 2. When the liquid falling on the top of the upper cover assembly 6 flows down, it is blocked by the seal 8, which can prevent water from flowing through the motor shaft 41 to the drive motor 4. This makes the present invention form a multi-protection system of "labyrinthine blocking, orderly diversion, and key sealing".
[0054] Specifically, when liquid enters the spacer from the air inlet or outlet, after rinsing the impeller, the liquid first reaches the spacer 2. As the liquid gradually increases, most of the liquid will be blocked by the first sleeve 52 and fall into the drainage area along the inclined spacer 2, and be discharged from the drain outlet. A small portion of the liquid may enter the labyrinth channel, but then this portion of liquid will be discharged back to the spacer 2 from the outlet along the inclined base. Even if high-pressure or high-flow liquid rushes into the tower fan and enters the labyrinth channel, it will be blocked by multiple sleeves with height differences, thus preventing it from entering the innermost sleeve.
[0055] This invention utilizes a bottom cover assembly 5 and a top cover assembly 6 with opposite and separated openings, and their sleeves are staggered to form a tortuous labyrinthine channel 7. This labyrinthine channel 7, by utilizing air resistance and multiple complex changes in the path, greatly increases the resistance to liquid penetration, effectively preventing direct liquid intrusion. Even if water pressure or water mist attempts to pass through, it will be blocked, slowed down, and turned back multiple times in the tortuous path of the labyrinthine channel, and its kinetic energy will be fully consumed, ultimately unable to overcome this "air wall," achieving highly efficient passive waterproofing. A water outlet 51 is opened on the bottom cover assembly 5 that forms the labyrinthine channel 7, and in conjunction with the inclined partition 2 and drain outlet 11, it can promptly collect and discharge a small amount of liquid that successfully breaks through the labyrinthine channel or condenses outside the equipment, avoiding the accumulation of liquid inside the equipment and eliminating the risk of water accumulation. A special sealing element 8 is set in the middle of the top cover assembly 6 to focus on sealing the motor shaft 41 that passes through it, preventing water from flowing from the top of the top cover assembly 6 along the gap of the motor shaft 41 into the drive motor 4 below, achieving all-round waterproofing.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses: it also includes a housing 1, the partition 2 is horizontally disposed inside the housing 1, dividing the inner cavity into upper and lower parts, wherein the air inlet 13 and air outlet 14 of the tower fan are both disposed in the upper part, while the drive motor 4 and electrical control box and other electrical components are disposed in the lower part; a drain outlet 11 is provided on one side of the housing 1; a drainage area 21 is recessed at one end of the partition 2 near the drain outlet 11, the drainage area 21 is connected to the drain outlet 11, the partition 2 is inclined downward toward the drainage area 21, and by utilizing the principle of gravity flow of liquid, it is ensured that all liquid dripping on the partition 2 can automatically and quickly flow to the drainage area 21, and then be discharged from the drain outlet 11 outside the tower fan, effectively solving the problem of internal water accumulation, and allowing users to clean the tower fan without disassembly, directly flushing water into the interior from the air inlet or air outlet, and the wastewater will automatically be discharged from the drain outlet 11, greatly facilitating the user's cleaning needs.
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses that: a base 22 protrudes from the middle of the partition 2, and the top of the base 22 is inclined with a high center and low edges, which can guide the liquid dripping onto the top surface of the base 22 to flow to the surrounding edges, thereby avoiding the accumulation of liquid in the central area and further preventing the liquid from flowing into the drive motor 4 below.
[0058] like Figure 3As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses that: a windmill 3 is provided above the partition 2, a drive motor 4 is provided below the partition 2, a mounting shell 31 extends from the bottom of the windmill 3, a motor shaft 41 is provided at the top of the drive motor 4, the motor shaft 41 is fixedly connected to the upper cover assembly 6, the drive motor 4 drives the motor shaft 41 to rotate when it runs, the motor shaft 41 drives the upper cover assembly 6 and the windmill 3 to rotate synchronously, and the motor shaft 41 passes through the bottom cover assembly 5 and the upper cover assembly 6 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 31.
[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses that: the bottom cover assembly 5 includes a first sleeve 52 and a second sleeve 53, the first sleeve 52 and the second sleeve 53 are integrally connected with the base 22 to ensure structural strength and sealing; the first sleeve 52 is located on the outer ring of the second sleeve 53, and the highest point of the first sleeve 52 is lower than the highest point of the second sleeve 53. The height difference design ensures that after the liquid passes over the first sleeve 52, it will first come into contact with the outer wall of the second sleeve 53, and be further guided and disturbed, increasing the waterproof effect of the labyrinth channel 7, and also preventing the liquid from accumulating in the labyrinth channel 7; both the first sleeve 52 and the second sleeve 53 are provided with corresponding outlets 51 for smoothly and timely discharge of the liquid collected between the two sleeves.
[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses that: the bottom cover assembly 5 also includes a third sleeve 54, which penetrates the middle of the base 22 and is integrally connected to it. The bottom of the third sleeve 54 has a first through hole 541 for the motor shaft 41 to pass through, so that when the drive motor 4 is running, the motor shaft 41 can drive the fan to rotate without obstruction, ensuring the performance of the tower fan. The highest point of the third sleeve 54 is higher than the highest point of the second sleeve 53, so that liquid cannot overcome the height difference to enter the third sleeve 54.
[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses that: the top cover assembly 6 includes a fourth sleeve 61 and a fifth sleeve 62. The fourth sleeve 61 is disposed on the outer ring of the fifth sleeve 62 and is integrally connected to it to ensure sealing. A second through hole 621 is opened in the middle of the fifth sleeve 62, and the sealing member 8 is disposed in the second through hole 621 to prevent liquid from seeping in from the second through hole 621, thereby ensuring the sealing of the top of the top cover assembly 6. The height of the top layer inside the fifth sleeve 62 is greater than the height of the top layer inside the fourth sleeve 61, further preventing liquid from exceeding this height difference to enter the third sleeve 54.
[0062] The sidewall of the fourth sleeve 61 is located between the sidewalls of the first sleeve 52 and the second sleeve 53, and does not contact the base 22. The sidewall of the fifth sleeve 62 is located between the sidewalls of the second sleeve 53 and the third sleeve 54, and also does not contact the base 22, forming the labyrinthine channel 7. The staggered sleeves form a tortuous labyrinthine channel 7, and the bottom cover assembly 5 does not affect the rotation of the top cover assembly 6. Simultaneously, the highest point of the first sleeve 52 is higher than the lowest point of the fourth sleeve 61, preventing water from directly flowing in from below the fourth sleeve 61; instead, the water is first blocked by the first sleeve 52.
[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses that: the upper cover assembly 6 also includes a sixth sleeve 63, the sixth sleeve 63 is disposed at the bottom of the second through hole 621 and is integrally connected with the fifth sleeve 62, the top of the sixth sleeve 63 is provided with a third through hole 631, the diameter of the third through hole 631 is smaller than the diameter of the second through hole 621, the size difference causes the second through hole 621 and the sixth sleeve 63 to form an L-shaped groove 64, the sealing member 8 is disposed in the L-shaped groove 64, the L-shaped groove 64 provides a stable and reliable mounting base for the sealing member 8, preventing it from shifting due to vibration.
[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further discloses that: the seal 8 has a hollow center and its inner side abuts against the outer periphery of the motor shaft 41 to achieve a rotary dynamic seal; the top of the fifth sleeve 62 is fixedly provided with an annular plate 9, and the bottom of the annular plate 9 near the center is fitted with the top of the seal 8, so that the seal 8 is pressed and positioned from top to bottom, preventing the seal 8 from loosening in the axial direction and ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the seal.
[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, in order to achieve reliable connection and transmission between the upper cover assembly 6 and the motor shaft 41, this embodiment further discloses: the motor shaft 41 is recessed on the side with a first limiting groove 411 and a second limiting groove 412; the top of the ring plate 9 is provided with a first limiting strip 91, the top of the first limiting strip 91 abuts against the bottom of the mounting shell 31, which can further enhance the sealing performance; the bottom of the sixth sleeve 63 is provided with a second limiting strip 632. During assembly, the first limiting strip 91 is engaged in the first limiting groove 411, and the second limiting strip 632 is engaged in the second limiting groove 412, so that the upper cover assembly 6 and the motor shaft 41 are circumferentially positioned and fixed, and can rotate synchronously.
[0066] like Figure 4As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, in order to clarify the spatial positional relationship between the motor shaft 41 and other components, this embodiment further discloses that: the motor shaft 41 passes through the second limiting strip 632, the first through hole 541, the sixth sleeve 63, the third through hole 631, the seal 8, the ring plate 9, and the first limiting strip 91 from bottom to top, and is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 31.
