Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the aspects of the present application, the following will clearly and completely describe the embodiments of the present application in relation to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. However, it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative labor shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0014] Combining FIGS. 1 and 2 shows the multi-functional desktop fan of the present invention. This multi-functional desktop fan includes a base 1, at least two fan assemblies 2 stacked vertically and mounted on the base 1, a first rotation assembly 3 mounted on the base 1 for rotating the fan assembly 2 located at the lowermost position, and a second rotation assembly 4 connected to two adjacent fan assemblies 2. Each fan assembly 2 includes a protective housing 201 with a plurality of air outlets 6 opened, A fan body 202 is installed inside the wind protection housing 201 and is provided with a first end and a second end along the axial direction, A first protection plate 203 vertically attached to the first end of the fan body 202, A second protection plate 204 vertically attached to the second end of the fan body 202, A first reinforcement plate 205 horizontally attached to the first protection plate 203, A second reinforcement plate 206 horizontally attached to the second protection plate 204 and provided opposite to the first reinforcement plate 205, Including a fan motor 207 attached to the first protection plate 203, to which power is connected and whose output shaft is coaxially connected to the fan body 202, The first protection plate 203, the second protection plate 204, the first reinforcement plate 205, and the second reinforcement plate 206 are all located within the protection frame.

[0015] During actual use, the fan motor 207 drives the fan body 202 to operate. Since there are at least two layers of fan assemblies 2, the independent rotational operations of each layer of fan assembly 2 can be satisfied, which is mainly realized by the first rotating assembly 3 and the second rotating assembly 4. Similarly, the protection housing 201, the first protection plate 203, the second protection plate 204, the first reinforcement plate 205, and the second reinforcement plate 206 can well protect the fan body 202.

[0016] The base 1 includes a corresponding upper housing 101 and a lower housing 102, and an attachment space is left between the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102.

[0017] The first rotating assembly 3 A first rolling bearing 301 attached to the bottom of the upper housing 101 and coaxially connected to the lowermost protection housing 201, Including a stepping motor 302 whose output shaft is connected corresponding to the first rolling bearing 301, A through hole is opened in the upper housing 101 for coaxially connecting the first rolling bearing 301 and the lowermost protection housing 201.

[0018] The second moving assembly 4 is correspondingly mounted on the opposing surfaces of two adjacent protective housings 201, and includes two second rolling bearings 401 that are coaxially connected.

[0019] The power supply is mounted within the mounting space, and the stepping motor 302 is connected to the power supply.

[0020] The multi-functional desktop fan further includes a display 5 for displaying the wind speed and power supply level of the fan body 202.

[0021] However, the display 5 is used to display the wind speed and power supply level of the fan body 202, and first needs to be equipped with the following related elements.

[0022] Data collection module Wind speed sensor: Used to measure the wind speed. Common wind speed sensors include cup anemometers, propeller anemometers, ultrasonic anemometers, etc. The cup anemometer calculates the wind speed by measuring the rotation speed of the cups. It has a simple structure and low price, but low measurement accuracy. There is also a power level detection module for detecting the power level of the battery or power supply. This can also be achieved by measuring parameters such as voltage and current. For example, in a device that supplies power to a battery, the battery voltage can be measured to determine the power level.

[0023] Data processing unit Microcontroller (MCU) or microcomputer: Receives data from the wind speed sensor and power level detection module, performs processing (amplification, filtering, calculation, etc.), and is used to convert the processed data into a format that can be recognized by the display.

[0024] Connection and communication unit Data line: Connects the display, data collection module, and data processing unit, and is used to achieve data transmission.

[0025] Interface Circuit: If the interfaces between the display, the data collection module, and the data processing unit do not match, an additional interface circuit for conversion may be required.

[0026] Power Supply Power Supply Module: Supplies a stable power supply to the entire system. Selects an appropriate power supply module according to the power demand and power type (e.g., DC, AC) of the system.

[0027] Auxiliary Element Passive Elements such as Resistors and Capacitors: Used for circuit filtering, voltage stabilization, etc.

[0028] Keys or Touch Screen (Optional): Used for setting display parameters and switching display modes.

[0029] All of the above elements are connected to the power supply.

[0030] The above are only preferred embodiments of this application. Without departing from the principle of this application, those skilled in the art can make some improvements and refinements, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of this application.
