[0022] In some embodiments, the electrode sheets are flexible electrode sheets.

[0023] In the embodiment, the electrode sheets are flexible electrode sheets; after being stacked, the plurality of electrode sheets can be wound into various forms, then the space occupied by the electrode sheets is reduced, and the applicability of the dust collection assembly is improved to meet the requirements of different fans for different electric field forms.

[0024] In some embodiments, the dust collection assembly further comprises a frame detachably arranged inside the cover body, and the plurality of electrode sheets are stacked and wound in the frame in sequence.

[0082] It is understandable that the electrode sheets 30 are flexible electrode sheets, i.e., the shape of the electrode sheets 30 is changeable, and the electrode sheets 30 can be bent according to specific practical use needs to adjust the shape of the electrode sheets 30. For example, the electrode sheets 30 are bent into a circular structure; for example, the electrode sheets 30 are bent into a structure in an "S" shape; for example, the electrode sheets 30 are bent into a spiral structure. That is, by bending the electrode sheets 30, the requirements for the electric field area generated during the operation of the dust collection component 3 can be satisfied, and thus, compared with the arrangement in related technologies that multiple sets of electrode pieces are arranged in an alternating parallel way, the present application helps reduce the number of the electrode sheets 30, can simplify the assembly process of the dust collection assembly 3, lower the production cost of the dust collection assembly 3, generate a larger electric field area using fewer electrode sheets 30, and has the advantages of diverse shapes and strong adaptability.

[0083] As shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, in some embodiments, the dust collection assembly 3 further comprises a frame 32 detachably arranged inside the cover body 1, and the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked and wound in the frame 32 in sequence.

[0084] In the embodiment, the dust collection assembly 3 comprises the frame 32 detachably arranged inside the cover body 1, and the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked and wound in the frame 32 in sequence, and the shapes of the electrode sheets 30 after winding are more firm, the electrode sheets 30 after winding are prevented from scattering, and furthermore, the reliability of the electric field generated by the electrode sheets 30 is improved and the dust removing effect of the fan is ensured.

[0085] In some embodiments, the power supply device 5 is provided on the middle part of the frame 32.

[0086] In some embodiments, the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked in sequence and then convolved around the center of the frame 32 to form a spiral dust collecting structure; or the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked in sequence and stacked along the circumferential direction of the frame 32 in a reciprocating manner.

[0087] In the embodiment, after the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked in sequence, they are convolved around the center of the frame 32 to form the spiral dust collecting structure, and this reduces the occupation of space, and improves the absorption effect for the mediums carrying charges. Or, after the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked in sequence, they are stacked along the circumferential direction of the frame 32 in a reciprocating manner, for example, after the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked, and after they are wound clockwise for one circle along the circumferential direction of the frame 32, they bend counterclockwise, and are stacked on the surface of the previous circle in the counterclockwise direction, and thus they are wound in a reciprocating manner to form the dust collection assembly 3. Certainly, it may further be this case: after the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked and after they are wound counterclockwise for one circle along the circumferential direction of the frame 32, they bend clockwise, and are stacked on the surface of the previous circle in the clockwise direction, and thus they are wound in a reciprocating manner to form the dust collection assembly 3.

[0088] As shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14, in some embodiments, in the case that the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked in sequence and then convolved around the center of the frame 32 to form a spiral dust collecting structure, the electric field is distributed radially taking the winding center of the electrode sheets 30 as a circle center, and the directions of the electric fields generated between adjacent stacked electrode sheets 30 are different.

[0089] In the embodiment, after the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked and wound, gaps are formed between adjacent stacked electrode sheets 30, the spiral dust collecting structure makes the electric fields in the gaps distribute in a disperse manner taking the winding center of the electrode sheets 30 as a circle center, and then, the distance between the gaps and the winding centergradually increases with the increasing of the number of winding turns, and thus, the dust collection volume is enlarged and the dust collection capacity is improved. The spiral winding method makes the directions of the electric fields generated in adjacent gaps different.

[0090] And, as shown in Fig. 13, the dashed arrow indicates the direction of the electric field, and in some embodiments, the electric field is arranged in a divergent manner along a normal direction from the winding center of electrode sheets 30. As shown in Fig. 14, in the stacked adjacent electrode sheets 30, an electric field is formed pointing from the positive electrode sheet 304 to the negative electrode sheet 305, and the directions of adjacent electric fields are different.

[0091] As shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 7, in some embodiments, the frame 32 further comprises: a first frame 320, and the first frame 320 comprises a first support ring 322, and the electrode sheets 30 are wound around the outer sidewall of the first support ring 322; a second frame 324, detachably connected to the first frame 320, and the second frame 324 comprises a second support ring 326, and in the case that the first frame 320 is buckled to the second frame 324, the second support ring 326 penetrates and is provided in the first support ring 322.

[0092] In the embodiment, the frame 32 further comprises the first frame 320 and the second frame 324, and the first frame 320 is detachably connected to the second frame 324; the first frame 320 is provided with the first support ring 322, and the second frame 324 is provided with the second support ring 326; when the dust collection assembly 3 is assembled, the electrode sheets 30 are firstly wound around the first support ring 322, then buckled to the second frame 324, and the second support ring 326 of the second frame 324 is inserted into the first support ring 322, and then the limitation of the electrode sheets 30 is achieved through the first frame 320 and second frame 324, this facilitates the winding and packaging of the electrode sheets 30, and meanwhile can further prevent the electrode sheets 30 from scattering after winding; the wires connecting the electrode sheets 30 and the input end of the high-voltage power supply can further be hidden to ensure safety during operation.

[0093] In some embodiments, the power supply device 5 is provided inside the first support ring 322.

[0094] In some embodiments, the frame 32 comprises an insulating frame; and / or one side of the frame 32 is provided with a grid 328, and the grid 328 is located at the side surface of the electrode sheets 30.

[0095] In the embodiment, the frame 32 comprises the insulating frame, and this improves the safety performance and prevents current leakage of the dust collection assembly 3. One side of the frame 32 is provided with the grid 328, and the electrode sheets 30 are located at the side surface of the grid 328; the grid 328 can fix the electrode sheets 30, and this prevents the electrode sheets 30 from falling or scattering from both sides of the frame 32, ensures the stability of the dust collection assembly 3, and further ensures the stability of the electric field.

[0096] In some embodiments, after the electrode sheets 30 and the frame 32 are assembled, the two sides of the electrode sheets 30 are both provided with the grids 328.

[0098] In the embodiment, as shown in Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11 and Fig. 12, the electrode sheets 30 comprises the flexible insulating layer 300 and the conductive layer 302. The conductive layer 302 is provided at one side of the flexible insulating layer 300, and multiple limiting parts 301 are provided on the flexible insulating layer 300, and the multiple limiting parts 301 are arranged at intervals; in the case that the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked, the limiting parts 301 are located between adjacent conductive layers 302, and this provides a sufficient gap between the adjacent conductive layers 302, ensures that the gap between the adjacent conductive layers 302 is fixed, avoids the contact between the adjacent conductive layers 302, and further ensures the stability of the electric field generated by the electrode sheets 30, and achieves the adsorption of the mediums such as dust; in addition, it is unnecessary to additionally dispose a card strip or apply a hot melt adhesive to fix the electrode sheets 30, and this greatly lowers the process difficulty and the processing cost of the dust collection assembly 3, and does not affect the appearance of the dust collection assembly 3; at the same time, the disposing of the limiting parts 301 further increases the spacing between adjacent conductive layers 302, and then increases the dust collection area of the dust collection assembly 3 and improves the effects of dust removal, disinfection and sterilization.

[0099] In some embodiments, the conductive layer 302 and the flexible insulating layer 300 are detachably stacked, or the conductive layer 302 is connected to the flexible insulating layer 300.

[0100] In the embodiment, in the case that the conductive layer 302 and the flexible insulating layer 300 are detachably stacked, it can facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the dust collection assembly 3, improve the convenience of dust filtration and cleaning; moreover, detachably arranging the conductive layer 302 and the flexible insulating layer 300 can further make the shape of the dust collection assembly 3 changeable, that is, the conductive layer 302 and flexible insulating layer 300 can be disassembled and wound into different shapes according to the flexibility characteristic, and therefore, the applicability of the dust collection assembly 3 in different structures is improved and the needs of the dust collection assembly 3 on different electric field forms are satisfied. In the case that the conductive layer 302 is connected to the flexible insulating layer 300, it can connect the conductive layer 302 with the flexible insulating layer 300 tightly, and the conductive layer 302 and the flexible insulating layer 300 can move together, and the electrode sheets 30 have a self-adaptive characteristic when the electrode sheets 30 are convolved or bent.

[0109] In some embodiments, the insulating substrate 303 is adhered to the flexible insulating layer 300.

[0110] In the embodiment, the insulating substrate 303 is adhered to the flexible insulating layer 300, and the insulating substrate 303 and the flexible insulating layer 300 are adhered into an integrated structure, this improves the reliability of the connection between the insulating substrate 303 and the flexible insulating layer 300, and avoids the occurrence of the separation of the conductive layer 302 from the flexible insulating layer 300.

[0111] In some embodiments, the insulating substrate 303 comprises any one of PC, PET, PP and PS; and / or the thickness of the insulating substrate 303 is greater than or equal to 0.1mm and less than or equal to 1.0mm.

[0114] As shown in Fig. 9, in some embodiments, the limiting part 301 comprises a protrusion 3011, and the protrusion 3011 is provided at one side or different sides of the flexible insulating layer 300.

[0115] In the embodiment, the limiting part 301 comprises the protrusion 3011, and the protrusion 3011 is provided at one side or different sides of the flexible insulating layer 300; the disposing of the protrusion 3011 can increase the spacing between adjacent electrode sheets 30 when the multiple electrode sheets 30 are stacked, and this firstly ensures the stability of the electric field generated by the electrode sheets 30, and secondly increases the dust collection space of the dust collection assembly 3, and thus the dust collection effect is improved. The protrusion 3011 can be provided at one side or two sides of the flexible insulating layer 300.

[0116] In some embodiments, the protrusion 3011 is provided at one side of the flexible insulating layer 300, and the conductive layer 302 is provided at the other side of the flexible insulating layer 300.

[0118] As shown in Fig. 11, in some embodiments, the height C of the protrusion 3011 is greater than or equal to 0.1mm, and less than or equal to 10mm.

[0119] In the embodiment, the height C of the protrusion 3011 is set to be between 0.1mm and 10mm, and this ensures the spacing effect between adjacent electrode sheets.

[0120] In some embodiments, in any cross section perpendicular to the height direction of the protrusion 3011, a width A between any two points in the contour line of protrusion 3011 is greater than or equal to 0.1mm and less than or equal to 10mm; and / or, a spacing B between adjacent protrusions 3011 is greater than or equal to 0.5mm and less than or equal to 100mm; and / or, the difference between the heights of any two protrusions 3011 is greater than or equal to 0mm and less than or equal to 1mm.

[0121] In the design, if the width A of the protrusion 3011 is too large, it will increase manufacturing cost and reduce the volume of the dust collection space; if the width A of the protrusion 3011 is too small, it will increase manufacturing difficulty; therefore, setting the width A between any two points in the contour line of any cross section of the protrusion 3011 to be between 0.1mm and 10mm can ensure the volume of the dust collection space and can further facilitate the manufacturing. In some embodiments, the spacing B between the adjacent protrusions 3011 is set to be between 0.5mm and 100mm. The difference between the heights of any two protrusions 3011 is greater than or equal to 0mm and less than or equal to 1mm, and the heights of multiple protrusions 3011 are close to each other, and thus, the spacing between the electrode sheets 30 is maintained within a stable range.

[0122] It is understandable that the height C of the protrusion 3011 is the height of the protrusion 3011 protruding out of the flexible insulating layer 300.

[0125] In some embodiments, the height C of the protrusion 3011 can be any value of 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm and 9mm, or a value between any two of the above values.

[0151] In some embodiments, the rotating directions of at least two fan blades 2 are the same or different from each other.

[0152] In the embodiment, the rotating directions of at least two fan blades 2 are the same or different from each other; in the case that the rotating directions of at least two fan blades 2 are the same, the air supplying distance can be increased; and in the case that the rotating directions of at least two fan blades 2 are different from each other, a windless air supply can be formed.

[0153] In some embodiments, the dust collection assembly 3, the ion generator 4, and the fan blades 2 are coaxially distributed along the direction of the rotating axis of the fan blades 2, and this improves the purification and dust collection efficiency of the fan.

[0154] In some embodiments, the present application relates to the field of air purification, and particularly, relates to a filter for purification, sterilization and disinfection and a purification fan; it mainly introduces a filter screen made of a self-adaptive flexible electrode (for example, the dust collection assembly 3); the filter screen comprises a positive electrode and a negative electrode; the positive electrode and the negative electrode are made of the self-adaptive flexible electrode and wound in parallel to form a filter screen with a spiral structure, which has the characteristics of low wind resistance, high efficiency, and simple process. The fan with this spiral structure has the effects of dust removal, sterilization and disinfection.

[0155] An electrostatic-purification dust collection device (for example, the dust collection assembly 3) has the effects of dust removal, sterilization and disinfection, and has low wind resistance, and can meet the application scenes with strict requirements for the wind resistance, such as an air conditioner, a fan and a warm air blower; however, since the electrostatic-purification dust collection device mainly relies on the electric field to adsorb and sterilize particles, and the electrodes that generate the electric field need to be spaced arranged, parallel to each other and connected to the high-voltage output end and the low-voltage output end of the high-voltage power supply, this results in that the manufacturing process of existing integrated devices is relatively complex, the manufacturing cost thereof is high, and the form thereof is single, and thus this further limits the application scope of the technology. In related technologies, since an external spacer or a hot melt adhesive is configured to control the distance between a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet, firstly, the processing accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and secondly, a fine manual operation is required, and this results in a high processing cost.

[0156] A filter screen made of a self-adaptive flexible electrode comprises a flexible electrode sheet and a support frame (for example, the frame 32), and the flexible electrode sheet is divided into a positive electrode (for example, a positive electrode sheet) and a negative electrode (for example, a negative electrode sheet), which are respectively connected to the high-voltage output end and the low-voltage output end of the high-voltage power supply during operation; and both the positive electrode and the negative electrode are flexible electrode sheets with limiting structures (for example, the limiting parts 301). The positive electrode and the negative electrode are wound in parallel on one end of the support frame and buckled to the other end of the support frame, and then the assembly of the filter screen can be accomplished; the surface of the support frame is provided with a grid 328. The core purification component of the fan using the filter screen further comprises an ion generator 4 and a high-voltage power supply (for example, the power supply device 5); during the working process of the fan, the ion generator 4 makes the particles in the air carry charges, and the high-voltage power supply supplies electricity to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the filter screen, an electric field is formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and then the charged particles are adsorbed; at the same time, the electric field further has the effect of sterilization and disinfection.

[0157] The filter screen made of the self-adaptive flexible electrodes comprises the flexible electrode sheet with a limiting structure and the support frame.

[0158] The flexible electrode sheet with a limiting structure comprises a conductive layer 302 and an insulating layer with a limiting structure (for example, the flexible insulating layer 300); the limiting structure consists of several protrusions 3011 provided on the surface of the insulating layer, and the supporting function of the protrusions 3011 can limit the electric field spacing between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to be between 0.1mm and 10mm.

[0159] The flexible electrode sheet with the limiting structure comprises 1 piece of positive electrode with a limiting structure and 1 piece of negative electrode with a limiting structure; the positive electrode and the negative electrode are wound in parallel on the support frame to form a spiral filter screen body.

[0160] The support frame is made of an insulating material, and the flexible electrode sheet is wound along the direction of the central axis of the support frame; the grid 328 is provided on the support frame, and the grid 328 can fix the spirally wound flexible electrode sheet and prevent it from falling or scattering from the front surface and the back surface, and the stability of the filter structure is maintained.

[0161] For the convenience of winding and packaging, the support frame can be set to be a detachable component; the flexible electrode sheet is firstly wound on one side of the support frame (for example, the first frame 320), and then buckled to another component (for example, the second frame 324) to achieve the packaging and fixing of the filter screen; the support frame can ensure the stability of the shape of the filter screen, and a wire that connects the positive electrode and the negative electrode to the input end of the high-voltage power supply can be hidden, to ensure the safety during operation.

[0162] When the filter screen is mounted in the fan, the filter screen needs to be used in cooperation with the ion generator 4 and the high-voltage power supply; in some embodiments, the filter screen is mounted at the air inlet 10 of the fan, and this can effectively alleviate the problem of dust accumulation on the main body of the fan.

[0163] The ion generator 4 can be provided on an air duct path, in some embodiments, at a position of the air outlet 12 or the air inlet 10 of the fan close to the filter screen, and this can prevent generated ions from being blocked by other components in the air duct and affecting the charging effect of particles.

[0164] The main function of the ion generator 4 is to charge the particles, and the ion generator 4 can be a carbon brush positive / negative ion generator 4, a needle tip positive / negative ion generator 4, a needle plate charging device, a tungsten wire charging device, etc.

[0165] The high-voltage power supply can be provided on the filter screen or the entire machine, and mainly supplies electricity to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the filter screen.
