Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, specifically to a water mist fan that can be quickly stored away. Background Technology

[0002] With the continued growth in demand for summer cooling and mobile operations, mist fans, which combine airflow and humidification, are widely used in construction sites, outdoor dining, mobile stalls, and home courtyards. Portability and storage have become core technical requirements for mist fan product design: the fan head and water storage base must be quick to assemble and disassemble and stably store; any cumbersome operation or loose structure will directly affect the product's portability and user experience.

[0003] Existing portable water mist fan systems often separate the water storage base from the fan module, with the water tank serving only as a water storage and support. The connection and fixation are achieved through a separate threaded interface or snap-fit ​​structure. This separate structure occupies a large space, and the fan needs to be handled or stored separately during disassembly and relocation, making it prone to secondary assembly errors and damage from impacts. Furthermore, the connection and locking methods mostly use threaded screw connections or manual adjustment with pins, resulting in slow response times and low disassembly and assembly efficiency. This is incompatible with the high-frequency mobile use requirements of water mist fans, becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of product portability.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a water mist fan that can be quickly stored to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is as follows: Existing portable water mist fan systems often separate the water storage base from the fan module, with the water tank only serving as a water storage and support, and the connection and fixation being accomplished by an independently set threaded interface or snap-fit ​​structure. This separate structure occupies a large space, and the fan needs to be held or stored separately during disassembly and relocation, which is prone to secondary assembly errors and damage from bumps and knocks. At the same time, the connection and locking methods mostly adopt threaded screw connections or manual adjustment with pins, which have slow response speed and low disassembly and assembly efficiency, and are not compatible with the high-frequency moving use scenarios of water mist fans, becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of product portability.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a water mist fan that can be quickly stored, including a water storage tank, a fan and a locking component. The water mist fan is arranged above the water storage tank, and the locking component is installed on the water storage tank and the water mist fan. The locking component is used to quickly lock the fan to the water storage tank in either the forward or reverse direction.

[0007] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a locking plate, a protrusion, a locking buckle, and a supporting step. The locking plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fan, the locking plate is provided with a protrusion, the locking buckle is fixedly installed at the edge of the water storage tank, and the supporting step is installed below the locking buckle and fixedly installed inside the water storage tank.

[0008] Preferably, the locking buckle and the supporting step are arranged in a "C" shape in cross-section.

[0009] Preferably, both the locking buckle and the edge of the supporting step are provided with rounded corners to facilitate the insertion of the protrusion, and the protrusion is provided with a corresponding rounded corner.

[0010] Preferably, at least two sets of locking buckles and supporting steps are provided, and the number of protrusions corresponds to the number of locking buckles.

[0012] Preferably, the support step is arc-shaped and the arc length of the circle containing the support step is the same as the arc length of the circle containing the protrusion.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model achieves quick-connect locking of the fan and water tank through a locking plate, protrusion, C-shaped locking buckle, and supporting steps, enabling forward use locking and reverse storage locking, significantly reducing storage volume. The C-shaped encircling structure and the array of multiple locking points work together to increase the contact area and support span, distributing the load evenly and effectively improving the overall load-bearing capacity, torsional rigidity, and structural stability. The rounded corner design of the components provides a smooth guide surface, reducing assembly precision requirements and enabling quick blind disassembly and assembly while avoiding scratch damage and stress concentration. The precise matching of the outer diameter of the protrusion with the inner diameter of the water tank and the allowance design of the outer diameter of the locking plate ensure coaxial alignment, eliminate wobbling gaps, and prevent disassembly and assembly interference, improving assembly tolerance and ease of operation.

[0017] This disclosure aims to address the problem that existing portable water mist fan systems often separate the water storage base from the fan module, with the water tank only serving as a water storage and support, and the connection and fixation being accomplished by a separately set threaded interface or snap-fit ​​structure. This separate structure occupies a large space, and the fan needs to be held or stored separately during disassembly and relocation, which is prone to secondary assembly errors and damage from bumps and knocks. At the same time, the connection and locking methods mostly adopt threaded screw connections or manual adjustment with pins, which have slow response speed and low disassembly and assembly efficiency, and are not compatible with the high-frequency moving use scenarios of water mist fans, becoming a bottleneck restricting the improvement of product portability. In view of this, the present disclosure proposes a water mist fan that can be quickly stored. Through a locking plate, a protrusion, and C-shaped locking buckles and supporting steps, a quick-connect engagement is formed, enabling forward use locking and reverse storage locking of the fan and water tank, significantly reducing the storage volume. The C-shaped encircling structure and the array of multiple locking points work together to increase the contact area and support span, distributing the load evenly and effectively improving the overall load-bearing capacity, torsional rigidity, and structural stability. The rounded corner design of the components provides a smooth guide surface, reducing assembly precision requirements and enabling quick blind disassembly and assembly while avoiding scratches and stress concentration. The precise matching of the outer diameter of the protrusion with the inner diameter of the water tank and the allowance design of the outer diameter of the locking plate ensure coaxial alignment, eliminates wobbling gaps, and prevents interference during disassembly and assembly, improving assembly tolerance and ease of operation. This comprehensively solves the problems of cumbersome storage, unstable connection, and low disassembly and assembly efficiency of traditional water mist fans.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a water mist fan that can be quickly stored includes a water tank 1, a fan 2 and a locking component 3. The fan 2 is arranged above the water tank 1, and the locking component 3 is installed on the water tank 1 and the water mist fan. The locking component 3 is used to quickly lock the fan 2 onto the water tank 1 in either the forward or reverse direction. The above design integrates the centering device 3 onto the support structure of the conveying device 2, achieving a compact integrated design for workpiece conveying and centering positioning. This significantly reduces the equipment footprint and workpiece transfer links, avoiding secondary positioning errors caused by traditional separate structures. The conveying device 2 automatically and accurately conveys the workpiece to the welding station of the multi-head welding machine 1, and the centering device 3 performs adaptive and rapid centering for workpieces of different shapes. This not only greatly improves the production cycle and changeover efficiency, but also effectively ensures the precise alignment of each welding head with the workpiece, improving the stability and consistency of welding quality. At the same time, it reduces the degree of manual intervention and the skill requirements for operation, realizing flexible, automated, and efficient welding operations.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the locking assembly 3 includes a locking plate 31, a protrusion 32, a locking buckle 33, and a supporting step 34. The locking plate 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fan 2. The locking plate 31 is provided with a protrusion 32, which is used to engage with the locking buckle 33 and the supporting step 34 to fix the fan 2. The locking buckle 33 is fixedly installed at the edge of the water storage tank 1. The supporting step 34 is installed below the locking buckle 33 and fixedly installed inside the water storage tank 1. The supporting step 34 is used to support the protrusion 32. The protrusion 32 on the locking plate 31 engages with the locking buckle 33 and support step 34 on the water tank 1, enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the fan 2 and the water tank 1 and bidirectional locking. Forward locking meets normal usage requirements, while reverse locking allows the fan 2 to be stored upside down on the water tank 1, significantly reducing storage volume. The coordinated upper and lower limiting structure of the C-shaped support step 34 and the locking buckle 33 ensures connection stability, avoids the cumbersome operation and secondary positioning error of traditional threaded connections, and simplifies the overall structure through component integration design, improving assembly efficiency and ease of operation.

[0020] like Figure 4As shown, the locking buckle 33 and the supporting step 34 have a "C"-shaped cross-section. The locking buckle 33 and the supporting step 34 are arranged in a C-shape to form a circumferentially encircling limiting structure. This not only increases the contact area with the protrusion 32 and the support span, but also significantly improves the overall load-bearing capacity and structural stability, effectively preventing the fan 2 from shaking or deflecting when in forward use or reverse storage. Moreover, the C-shaped opening provides a guide slope, which facilitates the rapid sliding of the protrusion 32 into the center, reduces the assembly accuracy requirements, and enables blind operation and rapid assembly and disassembly. At the same time, the C-shaped structure facilitates one-piece molding processing, simplifies mold design, reduces manufacturing costs, and makes the overall layout more compact and space utilization more efficient.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, both the locking buckle 33 and the supporting step 34 have rounded corners at their edges to facilitate the insertion of the protrusion 32, and the protrusion 32 has a corresponding rounded corner. The locking buckle 33, the supporting step 34, and the protrusion 32 all have corresponding rounded corners, forming a smooth guiding transition surface. This can automatically correct positional deviations during assembly, significantly reducing the alignment accuracy requirements, enabling smooth insertion during blind operation, and greatly improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and user experience. The rounded corner structure effectively avoids sharp corners scratching and damaging the surface coating or plastic body of the component, reduces stress concentration points, enhances structural durability, and also prevents operators from getting their hands scratched.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, at least two sets of locking buckles 33 and supporting steps 34 are provided, and the number of protrusions 32 corresponds to the number of locking buckles 33, thereby forming a multi-point evenly distributed locking structure. This makes the connection load between the fan 2 and the water storage tank 1 evenly distributed, significantly improving the overall load-bearing capacity, torsional rigidity and structural stability, and effectively avoiding the shaking, deflection or stress concentration problems that are easily caused by single-point locking. The multiple sets of symmetrical arrangements also realize redundant limiting, so that even if individual buckles are worn, a reliable connection can still be maintained, extending the product's service life. At the same time, the array layout facilitates quick centering, further improving assembly efficiency and reliability.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the protrusions 32 are arranged in an array on the locking plate 31. The diameter of the circle containing the outer edge of the protrusions 32 is the same as the inner diameter of the water tank 1. The diameter of the circle containing the outer edge of the locking plate 31 is smaller than the diameter of the circle containing the outer edge of the locking buckle 33, thereby forming a precise radial positioning fit, effectively eliminating assembly gaps, ensuring that the fan 2 and the water tank 1 are coaxially aligned, and avoiding shaking or swaying during use. The difference design between the outer edge diameter of the locking plate 31 and the outer edge diameter of the locking buckle 33 provides sufficient axial clearance space for disassembly and assembly operations, preventing interference and jamming between the locking plate 31 and the locking buckle 33, and ensuring quick disassembly and assembly.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the supporting step 34 is arc-shaped, and the arc length of the circle containing the supporting step 34 is the same as the arc length of the circle containing the protrusion 32. The supporting step 34 adopts an arc-shaped design, and its arc length is consistent with that of the protrusion 32, forming an equal-length arc surface contact fit, which significantly increases the effective contact area, makes the supporting load evenly distributed, avoids stress concentration, and thus improves the overall structural rigidity and load-bearing stability. At the same time, the arc-shaped structure provides natural guidance and precise alignment during disassembly and rotation, reduces assembly difficulty, ensures that the protrusion 32 is stably supported along its entire length, prevents local suspension or uneven loading, and effectively improves the reliability and durability of use.

[0025] The overall working process is as follows: When the operator needs to lock the fan 2, simply insert the locking plate 31 (without the protrusion 32) into the locking buckle 33, and rotate the fan 2 to rotate the locking plate 31, causing it to engage with the "C"-shaped structure formed by the locking buckle 33 and the support plate, thus completing the locking. To remove it, continue rotating until the protrusion 32 is no longer in the support plate position, and the fan 2 can be removed. When it is necessary to store the fan 2, simply flip the fan 2 over and repeat the above operation.
