Description

A quickly detachable fan structure Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a quickly detachable fan structure. Background Art

[0002] Prior art, such as Chinese utility model patent publication number CN206246393U, discloses a fan cover and head connection structure and a fan utilizing the connection structure. The fan cover and head connection structure includes a fan cover and a head, wherein the fan cover includes a front cover mesh and a rear cover mesh connected to each other. One of the rear cover mesh and the head is provided with a mounting shaft, and the other is provided with a mounting hole, wherein the mounting shaft is threadedly connected to the mounting hole. The rear cover mesh of the fan incorporating the present invention is easy to install and securely connects to the head without requiring additional parts, resulting in stable and reliable installation.

[0003] Based on the above, in the prior art, the fan cover is mounted on the machine head using a threaded connection. While this mounting structure facilitates disassembly, the disadvantage of threaded connections is that after tightening, a considerable amount of external force is required to loosen and disassemble, which is sometimes not user-friendly for users with limited strength. Threaded connections also have the problem of thread slippage, making installation impossible, and loosening due to shaking or insufficient tightening.

[0004] Furthermore, in existing technology, the fan blades are directly plugged into the front end of the motor shaft using an interference fit, while the motor is fixedly mounted inside the machine head. This arrangement requires the user to first remove the front cover, then the fan blades, and finally the rear cover from the machine head during disassembly. This structure does not require the entire front cover, fan blades, and rear cover to be removed from the machine head; instead, they must be removed one by one, which requires further improvement. Technical Solutions

[0005] Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art. To this end, the utility model proposes a quickly detachable fan structure.

[0023] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1 to 11, a quickly detachable fan structure includes a base 101, a mounting rod 102 is provided on the base 101, a head 10 is provided on the mounting rod 102, a rear cover 20 is installed on the front side of the head 10, a front cover 40 is installed on the front side of the rear cover 20, fan blades 50 are provided between the rear cover 20 and the front cover 40, and a motor 60 is provided in the head 10. It is characterized in that: a plurality of hooks 110 are provided in a circumferential array on the front wall surface of the head 10, a slot 100 with an open side is formed in the hook 110, and a plurality of clips 210 that engage with the slot 100 are provided in a circumferential array on the rear wall surface of the rear cover 20;

[0026] A first annular positioning portion 120 is provided on the front wall of the head 10, and a second annular positioning portion 200 is provided on the rear wall of the rear cover 20 to cooperate with the first annular positioning portion 120. The first annular positioning portion 120 and the second annular positioning portion 200 are in contact with each other and can rotate relative to each other.

[0027] The fan blade 50 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 510, and the bearing 80 is installed on the rear cover 20. The rotating shaft 510 is interference fit in the inner ring of the bearing 80. The rear end of the rotating shaft 510 is detachably installed with a first transmission coupler 910, and the motor shaft 610 of the motor 60 is installed with a second transmission coupler 920, and the second transmission coupler 920 is coupled to the first transmission coupler 910 for transmission.

[0028] When the rear cover is assembled, the first annular positioning portion 120 is fitted with the second annular positioning portion 200 to position the head 10 and the rear cover 20, and then the rear cover 20 is driven to rotate relative to the head 10 to enable the clamping member 210 to be screwed into the clamping slot 100 to complete the locking.

[0029] Under the premise of realizing rapid disassembly and assembly of the rear cover 20 and the machine head 10, the utility model adopts the second transmission coupler 920 to couple the transmission with the first transmission coupler 910, so as to realize rapid separation of the fan blades 50 and the motor shaft 610, so that during later cleaning and maintenance, the front cover and the fan blades together with the rear cover 20 can be removed from the machine head 10 after the rear cover 20 is removed, without the need to disassemble them one by one.

[0030] Specifically, the front cover 40 and the rear cover 20 are assembled by using existing buckles or screws.

[0031] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the rear cover 20 is provided with a bearing hole 230 and a coupling cavity 220 that are interconnected front and back. The bearing 80 is arranged in the bearing hole 230, and the outer ring of the bearing 80 is fixed to the rear cover 20. The second transmission coupler 920 and the first transmission coupler 910 are coupled in the coupling cavity 220.

[0032] Specifically, the coupling cavity 220 is open at the rear end. During assembly, the rotating shaft 510 passes through the bearing 80, and its rear end is fixedly connected to the first transmission coupler 910 within the coupling cavity 220. When the rear cover 20 and the handpiece 10 are assembled, the first transmission coupler 910 and the second transmission coupler 920 are plugged into and mated with each other within the coupling cavity 220 to achieve coupled transmission.

[0033] Furthermore, the purpose of the threaded connection between the first transmission coupler 910 and the rotating shaft 510 is that the first transmission coupler 910 can be quickly removed from the rotating shaft 510 during cleaning and disassembly, so that the rotating shaft 610 on the fan blade 50 can be removed from the bearing 80 from the back to the front, so that the fan blade 50 can be removed for cleaning.

[0034] In the present invention, the rear end of the rotating shaft 510 is threadedly connected to the first transmission coupler 910 .

[0035] Specifically, a sealing sleeve 70 is disposed in the bearing hole 230 , and the bearing 80 is disposed in the sealing sleeve 70 .

[0036] 8 to 11 , a protrusion 113 is provided on the wall of the engaging portion 112 facing the engaging slot 100 , and a recess 211 cooperating with the protrusion 113 is provided on the wall of the engaging portion 112 of the engaging member 210 .

[0037] When the latch 210 is screwed into the slot 100, the protrusion 113 is embedded in the recess 211, preventing the latch 210 from being disengaged from the slot 100 without external force, thus locking the latch 210. To remove the rear cover 20, a certain external force must be applied to the rear cover 20 to deform the hook 110, disengaging the protrusion 113 from the recess 211 and allowing the latch 210 to be removed from the slot 100.

[0038] Specifically, the first annular positioning portion 120 is a convex ring provided on the front wall of the nose 10, and the second annular positioning portion 200 is a circular positioning cavity provided on the rear wall of the rear cover 20. The convex ring is embedded in the circular positioning cavity and fits with the inner wall of the circular positioning cavity.

[0039] Referring to Figure 6 , a microswitch 30 is mounted on the head 10, with the trigger end of the microswitch 30 extending into any one of the slots 100. To ensure safety, the microswitch 30 is connected to the fan's main control circuit board. After the rear cover 20 is installed, the clip 210 is locked in the slot 100, which contacts the trigger end of the microswitch 30 to transmit an electrical signal to the fan's main control circuit board. After the clip 210 leaves the slot 100, if nothing is touching the trigger end of the microswitch 30, a signal is sent to the fan's main control circuit board to cut off the circuit and prevent the fan blades from continuing to rotate.
