Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air circulation, and particularly relates to an up-and-down oscillating desktop circulation fan. [Background technology]
[0002] Air circulation fans are often used to circulate air indoors, making the air temperature distribution in the room uniform and also serving as a fan.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN119435439A discloses a wireless induction-powered air circulation fan including a fan assembly, a base, a drive unit, and a power supply unit. The base includes a fixed base and a rotating base rotatably connected to the fixed base. The fan assembly is attached to the rotating base. The drive unit is located inside the base and is used to drive the rotating base to rotate along the end surface of the fixed base. The power supply unit is electrically connected to the fan assembly and used to supply starting power to the fan assembly, and includes an electromagnetic emission assembly and an electromagnetic reception assembly. The electromagnetic emission assembly is located within the fixed base and includes an excitation coil and an excitation control plate electrically connected to each other. The excitation control plate is connected to a power source to send current to the excitation coil and generate a magnetic field. The electromagnetic reception assembly and the electromagnetic emission assembly are correspondingly located within the rotating base and include the electromagnetic reception assembly, an induction coil for cutting magnetic field lines, and an induction control plate electrically connected to the induction coil. The induction control plate is electrically connected to the fan assembly and used to provide driving power. The drive unit drives the rotating base to rotate 360° along the surface of the fixed base without stopping and with no blind spots, and supplies power to the fan assembly using a wireless induction power supply method based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, allowing the drive fan to rotate without a power line.This means that the rotating base does not have to be prevented from rotating 360° due to interference from the power line during rotation, and achieves 360° rotation without stopping and with no blind spots. The fan assembly includes a housing and a fan unit. A mounting chamber is formed inside the housing, and air passage windows are opened on both sides of the housing. The fan unit is installed in the mounting chamber. A motor rotates the fan blades to drive a rapid airflow to blow air. The oscillating motor is power-transmittingly connected to the housing / support frame and causes the housing to oscillate back and forth around the axis of the rotating member. The rotating body may be a rotating shaft or a rotating flange, thereby realizing a rotatable connection between the housing and the support frame. The oscillating motor may be fixedly attached to the support frame or the housing, and its output shaft may be correspondingly connected to the housing or the support frame. Driving the oscillating motor allows the fan assembly to oscillate up and down.
[0004] In the technical solution of the above-mentioned patent document, a fan assembly is swung up and down by a swing motor to blow air. The swing motor and fan unit are attached between a housing and a support frame, and the swing motor is embedded in the housing. The fan unit is also directly installed inside the housing. An inner ring is installed between the fan unit and the inside of the housing, and the swing motor is installed within the space of the inner ring. As a result, the swing motor occupies a large space inside the housing, and the duct diameter of the fan unit is reduced. In order to satisfy the airflow volume of the fan unit (assuming the fan unit's air outlet diameter is the same), the volume of the housing must be increased, and the fan's outer shape becomes large, occupying space and increasing manufacturing costs.

[0020] 1 to 10, one embodiment of the up-and-down oscillating desktop circulation fan of the present invention includes a base 100, a support seat, a motor case 300, a mesh cover 400, a fan motor 500, fan blades 600, and an oscillating drive means 700. The support seat is mounted on the base 100 and includes a first support arm 210 and a second support arm 220 extending upward. The first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220 are both provided with rotatable connection positions, and the motor case 300 is rotatably connected to the rotatable connection positions of the first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220. The fan motor 500 is mounted within the motor case 300, and a main shaft of the fan motor 500 passes through the motor case 300, and the fan blades 600 are mounted on the main shaft of the fan motor 500. An attachment portion 301 extends rearward from one side of the motor case 300, and a swing drive means 700 is fixedly connected to the attachment portion 301 and further connected to the first support arm 210. The swing drive means 700 is used to drive the motor case 300 to swing up and down around the rotatable connection positions of the first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220. Specifically, the swing drive means 700 uses the first support arm 210 as a fixed fulcrum, and under the driving force of the swing drive means 700, acts on the motor case 300 to rotate the motor case 300 around the fulcrum of the first support arm 210, thereby achieving up and down swing. The motor case 300 is disposed within a mesh cover 400, and the motor case 300 and the mesh cover 400 are integrally connected, and the mesh cover 400 swings up and down together with the motor case 300.
[0021] In the above embodiment, the fan motor 500 is mounted within the motor case 300, which is directly and rotatably attached between the first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220. The swing drive means 700 is mounted on one side of the mounting portion 301 extending rearward of the motor case 300 and connected to the first support arm 210, thereby driving the motor case 300 to swing up and down. The motor case 300 is mounted within the mesh cover 400 and connected to the mesh cover 400. Therefore, the swing drive means 700 does not occupy the connection space between the motor case 300 and the first support arm 210, and the duct within the mesh cover 400 is not affected by the swing drive means 700. To ensure the size of the fan duct, it is not necessary to increase the volume of the mesh cover 400, thereby reducing the space occupied and reducing costs.
[0022] Further, the swing drive means 700 includes a drive motor 710, a gear 720, and a toothed plate 730. The drive motor 710 is mounted inside the mounting portion 301, the gear 720 is mounted on the main shaft of the drive motor 710, one end of the toothed plate 730 is fixedly connected to the first support arm 210, and the other end is provided with gear teeth 731, which mesh with the gear 720. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive motor 710 drives and rotates the gear 720, and the gear 720 pushes the toothed plate 730. Since one end of the toothed plate 730 is fixedly connected to the first support arm 210, the acting force applied by the drive motor 710 to the toothed plate 730 is transmitted to the motor case 300, and the motor case 300 rotates up and down by receiving the acting force of the drive motor 710.
[0023] Furthermore, a first positioning portion 211 is provided on the inside of the first support arm 210, and a second positioning portion 732 is provided on the end side of the toothed plate 730, and the second positioning portion 732 is engaged with and fixedly connected to the first positioning portion 211. A positioning hole (not shown) is provided in the motor case 300, and the positioning hole is rotatably fitted into the first positioning portion 211 or the second positioning portion 732, so that the motor case 300 is rotatable around the rotatable connection position.
[0024] Furthermore, the first positioning portion 211 includes a protrusion provided on the inner side of the first support arm 210, an adapter sleeve 733 extending from one side of the toothed plate 730, three connecting posts 734 provided within the adapter sleeve 733, and a second positioning portion 732 formed between the three connecting posts 734. A connecting hole is provided in the connecting post 734, and a locking screw passes through the first support arm 210 and is connected to the connecting hole, fixedly connecting the toothed plate 730 and the first support arm 210. The positioning hole is rotatably connected to the adapter sleeve 733. In this embodiment, the positioning engagement between the connecting post 734 and the first positioning portion 211 increases the stability of the engagement, and the connection between the connecting post 734 and the locking screw makes the structure more compact.
[0025] 8 to 10, during the assembly process, the adapter sleeve 733 is inserted through the positioning hole and locked with a lock screw. A connecting portion 221 is provided on the inner side of the second support arm 220, and the motor case 300 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 221.
[0026] 4, 5, and 9, the driving motor 710 is a synchronous motor, and first and second stoppers 310 and 320 are provided on both outer sides of the motor case 300. In this embodiment, the first and second stoppers 310 and 320 alternately contact the support arms, thereby limiting the angular range of up-and-down swing of the motor case 300. Specifically, when the driving motor 710 drives the gear 720 to drive the motor case 300 to swing up and down, the first stopper 310 contacts the support arm and receives a stopper force, thereby realizing reverse rotation and continuous circulation, thereby allowing the motor case 300 and the mesh cover 400 to form an integrated structure and swing back and forth up and down. The angle of up-and-down swing of the motor case 300 depends on the angle between the first and second stoppers 310 and 320.
[0027] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment in which the motor case 300 and the mesh cover 400 are assembled into an integral structure, a mounting chamber 401 may be provided within the mesh cover 400, and the motor case 300 may be provided within the mounting chamber 401. The first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220 extend from the bottom of the mesh cover 400 into the mounting chamber 401 and are rotatably connected to the motor case 300.
[0028] 3 and 9, an escape hole is provided in the front wall of the mounting chamber 401, a sleeve tube 302 is provided at the front end of the motor case 300 and passes through the escape hole (not shown), the sleeve tube 302 is provided with an external thread, and a lock nut 330 is connected to the external thread of the sleeve tube 302 to fix the motor case 300 within the mounting chamber 401. The main shaft of the fan motor 500 passes through the sleeve tube 302 and protrudes from the mounting chamber 401.
[0029] 1, 2, 3 and 9, in one embodiment of the structure of the mesh cover 400, the mesh cover 400 includes a middle frame 410, a front mesh 420, a rear mesh case 430 and a rear mesh lid 440. The mounting chamber 401 is disposed within the rear mesh case 430, and the rear mesh lid 440 covers the opening of the mounting chamber 401. The middle frame 410 is disposed at the front end of the rear mesh case 430, and a duct is formed on the inner ring of the middle frame 410. The front mesh 420 covers the opening of the middle frame 410.
[0030] 2, the opening of the mounting chamber 401 extends to the bottom of the rear mesh case 430, and the rear mesh cover 440 is provided with a guide groove 441 for accommodating the support arms. When the motor case 300 and the mesh cover 400 swing up and down, the guide groove 441 serves as an escape and guide for the first support arm 210 and the second support arm 220.
[0031] 2, rear mesh case 430 has a hemispherical structure, and a storage chamber 431 is provided behind rear mesh case 430. A chute is provided within storage chamber 431.
