Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 12, there is a handy fan including a housing 1. The housing 1 has a hand-held portion 11. An air passage portion 12 is provided inside the housing 1. A motor 2 is provided inside the air passage portion 12. A motor circuit board 3 is provided on the motor 2, and the motor circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the motor 2. A control circuit board 4 and a battery 5 are further provided inside the housing 1. The control circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the motor circuit board 3, and the control circuit board 4 is further electrically connected to the battery 5.

[0019] With the installation of the above structure, the motor circuit board and the control circuit board are separated inside the housing of the handy fan, and the heat generated by the circuit boards is dispersed. Moreover, the motor circuit board is provided independently of the motor. Since the motor is provided inside the air passage portion, the operation of the motor can drive the air flow inside the air passage portion to flow rapidly, and can quickly take away the heat inside the motor circuit board. Summing up the above, the handy fan of the present invention realizes effective heat dissipation through two modes of heat dispersion and rapid air flow, better solves the problem of poor heat dissipation in the conventional handy fan, and thereby improves the service life of the handy fan.

[0020] Furthermore, the motor circuit board 3 may be a drive circuit board of the motor. When the motor needs to have a relatively high rotation speed, the motor inevitably needs to achieve relatively high power, and thus the heat generated by the handy fan mainly concentrates on the motor circuit board. Therefore, the motor circuit board is provided independently of the motor, and rapid and effective heat dissipation of the motor circuit board can be ensured, and the structural design is reasonable.

[0021] Here, both the control circuit board 4 and the battery 5 are provided inside the hand-held portion 11.

[0022] Furthermore, the air passage section 12 is provided horizontally, the handle section 11 is provided vertically, and the handle section 11 is connected to the bottom of the air passage section 12, forming a T-shaped housing. The above structure makes the structural design of the handheld fan more rational and facilitates the handheld fan operation.

[0023] Furthermore, the first end of the air passage 12 is the outlet 13, and the second end of the air passage 12 is the intake 14. This forms a convection structure in the air passage 12 where the outlet 13 and the intake 14 face each other, improving the airflow and ensuring the blowing effect of the handheld fan.

[0024] Furthermore, protective nets 8 are provided at both the air outlet 13 and the air intake 14 to prevent fingers from being accidentally inserted into the air passage and coming into contact with the motor, thereby preventing accidental occurrences. The protective nets may be connected to the air outlet or air intake by screws, or they may be integrally molded with the air outlet or air intake, and are not specifically limited thereto. Furthermore, the air outlet may be further provided with a discharge nozzle 9 that can merge airflows, and the discharge nozzles may be fixed to the air outlet by magnetic attraction, screw-in method, etc., and are not specifically limited thereto.

[0025] The handheld fan further includes a first connecting wire 6, with a wiring hole 15 provided at the connection point between the airflow section 12 and the handle section 11. The first end of the first connecting wire 6 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 4, and the second end of the first connecting wire 6 passes through the wiring hole 15 and is electrically connected to the motor circuit board 3. This realizes an electrical connection between the control circuit board 4 and the motor circuit board 3, resulting in a simple structure and a rational design.

[0026] Furthermore, a second connecting wire 7 is provided within the handle portion 11. The first end of the second connecting wire 7 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 4, and the second end of the second connecting wire 7 is electrically connected to the battery 5. In the above structure, the battery can supply power to the motor via the control circuit board and the motor circuit board, and the control circuit board can also control the motor circuit board and the motor. The structure is simple and the design is rational.

[0027] Furthermore, the control circuit board 4 is provided with a charging port 41 used for charging the battery 5, and the charging port 41 is exposed from the handle portion 11.

[0028] Furthermore, an operation button 42 is provided on the control circuit board 4, and the operation button 42 is exposed from the handle 11, allowing control operations to be performed on the motor using the operation button. For example, it can be used as a switch to adjust the wind speed shift.

[0029] Here, the motor circuit board 3 is positioned corresponding to the center of the motor 2. During the motor's operation, airflow mainly occurs at the non-center of the motor. Therefore, by positioning the motor circuit board corresponding to the center of the motor, the airflow is not directly obstructed, allowing the airflow to quickly flow around the motor circuit board, thereby rapidly dissipating heat from the motor circuit board. This enables the structure to be installed while simultaneously ensuring sufficient airflow for the handheld fan, demonstrating a rational and ingenious structural design.

[0030] Furthermore, the motor 2 has a rotor portion 21 located at the center and a stator portion 22 surrounding the rotor portion 21. The motor circuit board 3 is provided corresponding to the rotor portion 21 of the motor, and the motor circuit board 3 is attached to the stator portion 22 of the motor.

[0031] Furthermore, the motor circuit board 3 is located at the front end of the motor rotor 21. In this structure, the motor circuit board does not have a connection relationship with the front end of the rotor; its relative position is simply at the front end of the motor rotor 21, which is advantageous in terms of structural layout.

[0032] Furthermore, the motor 2 further includes a fan blade 23 having a central connection portion 231 and an outer blade portion 232, and the fan blade 23 is connected to the rear end of the motor's rotor portion 21 at its central connection portion 231. During use, the motor drives the rotor portion to rotate the connection portion of the fan blade, thereby driving the blade portion of the fan blade to rotate and create airflow. In this structure, most of the airflow is generated at the position corresponding to the blade portion, i.e., at the non-center of the motor.

[0033] Furthermore, the motor's stator section 22 is provided with a flow passage 221 corresponding to the fan blade section 232, which acts as a guide for the airflow and ensures the airflow of the handheld fan. In this way, during the motor's operation, the airflow flows sequentially through the intake, flow passage, and outlet to produce the airflow of the handheld fan.

[0034] Furthermore, the stator portion 22 of the motor has a mounting bracket 222, which is provided corresponding to the rotor portion 21 of the motor and is located at the front end of the rotor portion 21 of the motor, and the motor circuit board 3 is mounted on the mounting bracket 222. Similarly, the installation of the mounting bracket does not directly obstruct the airflow and ensures the airflow of the handy fan. The mounting bracket may be integrally molded with the rotor portion, or it may be attached to the rotor portion by methods such as bonding or locking, and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0035] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 222 has at least three support rods 223 extending toward the front end, and the motor circuit board 3 is connected to the end of each support rod 223, resulting in a simple and stable structure.

[0036] In this patent, the motor 2 must have a rotational speed of 20,000 rpm or more in order to achieve the required airflow effect during actual use as a "jet fan" or "high-speed fan". In other words, the handy fan is a high-speed handy fan.

[0037] Here, the motor may be a three-phase motor, or of course, any other type of motor, as long as it can achieve the effect of high rotational speed.

[0038] Similarly, as a "jet fan" or "high-speed fan," the power of motor 2 needs to be 35W or more due to the presence of high rotational speed. In actual use, the battery output voltage is generally 7.4V, and accordingly, the current may approach 5A. Only in this case can the motor have the necessary rotational speed and actually achieve the required airflow effect. At the same time, in this case, the amount of heat generated by the motor circuit board is relatively large, so by providing the motor circuit board independently of the motor in the air passage, rapid and effective heat dissipation can be achieved. Moreover, the heat released from the motor circuit board will not affect other electronic components.

[0039] The above are one or more embodiments provided in conjunction with specific details, and it should not be assumed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. Any technical reasoning or substitutions that are similar to, identical to, or based on the concept of the present invention should all be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
