[0083] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0084] The tower fan 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to Figures 1 to 35.

[0085] 1, 2, and 3, a tower fan 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a first portion 200 and a second portion 300. The first portion 200 is primarily responsible for producing airflow, while the second portion 300 is primarily responsible for providing power to the first portion 200. The first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are detachably connected, allowing the first portion 200 to be removed for cleaning.

[0086] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, specifically, the first part 200 includes a housing 1 and a wind rotor 2. The housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 11, and the wind rotor 2 is disposed within the housing 1 to direct air to the air outlet 11. The second part 300 includes a base 3 and a motor 4. The motor 4 is disposed on the base 3 and is detachably coupled with the wind rotor 2 to drive the wind rotor 2 to rotate. When the first part 200 is mounted on the second part 300, the housing 1 is connected to the base 3 to ensure the stability of the first part 200, and the wind rotor 2 is connected to the motor 4 so that the motor 4 can drive the wind rotor 2 to rotate and achieve fanning. When the first part 200 is removed from the second part 300, the housing 1 is separated from the base 3, and the wind rotor 2 is separated from the motor 4.

[0087] Because the motor 4 is mounted in the second portion 300 and there are no electrical components in the first portion 200, there is no risk of short circuits when cleaning the first portion 200, which improves the convenience of cleaning the first portion 200. For example, when cleaning the first portion 200, the first portion 200 can be removed from the second portion 300 and rinsed directly under the faucet.

[0088] 3, 4, and 10, the tower fan 100 of the present embodiment further includes a first stopper 31 and a second stopper 5, one of which is disposed on the housing 1 and the other on the base 3. Because the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are detachably connected, the tower fan 100 has an assembled state and a ready-to-disassemble state. In the assembled state, the housing 1 is placed on top of the base 3, and the first stopper 31 and the second stopper 5 cooperate to restrict movement of the housing 1 relative to the base 3, thereby stably mounting the first portion 200 on the second portion 300. In the ready-to-disassemble state, the first stopper 31 and the second stopper 5 release their restraints, allowing the housing 1 to move relative to the base 3. Specifically, the first portion 200 can move relative to the second portion 300. In other words, in the ready-to-disassemble state, the first stopper 31 and the second stopper 5 release their restraints on the housing 1, allowing the first portion 200 to move relative to the second portion 300 until it is completely separated from the second portion 300.

[0089] As long as the first limit member 31 and the second limit member 5 can limit the movement of the shell 1 relative to the base 3 when they cooperate, the first limit member 31 can be set on the base 3 and the second limit member 5 can be set on the shell 1; or the first limit member 31 can be set on the shell 1 and the second limit member 5 can be set on the base 3.

[0090] According to the tower fan 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the first part 200 can be separated from the second part 300 as a whole, which improves the convenience for users to clean the casing 1 and the wind wheel 2; and when the first part 200 is installed on the second part 300, the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 5 limit the first part 200, thereby enhancing the stability of the first part 200; and the tower fan 100 in the present application, when the first part 200 needs to be disassembled, it is only necessary to release the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 5 to remove the first part 200 from the second part 300, and the disassembly operation of the first part 200 is simple and quick.

[0091] 1 , 2 and 3 , in some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a front shell 12 , a rear shell 13 , an upper shell 14 and a lower shell 15 , wherein the front shell 12 , the rear shell 13 , the upper shell 14 and the lower shell 15 define an installation space for the wind wheel 2 , and the front shell 12 is provided with an air outlet 11 .

[0092] The housing 1 of the first part 200 is assembled by the front housing 12 , the rear housing 13 , the upper housing 14 and the lower housing 15 , which helps to reduce the difficulty of making a mold for the housing 1 and reduce costs.

[0093] In some embodiments, the front housing 12, rear housing 13, upper housing 14, and lower housing 15 can be connected securely using multiple fasteners (screws or bolts). In other embodiments, the front housing 12, rear housing 13, upper housing 14, and lower housing 15 can be integrated using ultrasonic technology or glued together, or removably connected using a snap-fit ​​structure, which also facilitates later maintenance or replacement. Other situations are also possible, as long as the front housing 12, rear housing 13, upper housing 14, and lower housing 15 are connected.

[0094] 1 , 2 and 3 , in some embodiments, the base 3 includes a support frame 32 and a protective shell 33 covering the support frame 32 , and the motor 4 is mounted to the support frame 32 , that is, the motor 4 is located in the protective shell 33 to protect the motor 4 .

[0095] The protective shell 33 includes a first shell 331 and a second shell 332 disposed around the support frame 32. The first shell 331 and the second shell 332 are assembled to form a cylindrical structure that fits over the support frame 32. The protective shell 33 also includes a cover 333 disposed on top of the support frame 32 to protect the top of the support frame 32. The cover 333, the first shell 331, and the second shell 332 together form the protective shell 33.

[0096] In the above technical solution, the protective shell 33 is composed of the first shell 331, the second shell 332 and the cover 333, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of mold opening of the protective shell 33 and reducing the cost.

[0097] In some embodiments, the cover 333, first housing 331, and second housing 332 can be connected securely using multiple fasteners (screws or bolts). In other embodiments, the cover 333, first housing 331, and second housing 332 can be ultrasonically combined or glued together, or removably connected using a snap-fit ​​structure, which also facilitates later maintenance or replacement. Other situations are also possible, as long as the cover 333, first housing 331, and second housing 332 are connected.

[0098] Because the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are detachably connected, the motor 4 is connected to the wind rotor 2 when the housing 1 is connected to the base 3. Therefore, the lower shell 15 of the housing 1 and the cover 333 of the protective shell 33 are both provided with an escape area to avoid the connection between the motor 4 and the wind rotor 2. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the motor 4 and the wind rotor 2 are designed to meet the following requirements: when the housing 1 is docked with the base 3, the motor 4 and the wind rotor 2 are automatically connected by power; when the housing 1 and the base 3 are separated, the motor 4 and the wind rotor 2 are automatically disconnected.

[0099] 1 , 2 and 3 , in some specific embodiments, a first clutch 21 is provided at the bottom end of the wind wheel 2, and an upwardly disposed output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to a second clutch 42. When the first part 200 is mounted on the second part 300, the first clutch 21 engages with the second clutch 42, and the first clutch 21 and the second clutch 42 achieve synchronous rotation through engagement or friction. When the first part 200 is removed from the second part 300, the first clutch 21 separates from the second clutch 42, and the wind wheel 2 is disconnected from the motor 4.

[0100] In some other embodiments, the removable coupling between the motor 4 and the rotor 2 may be magnetic. When the first portion 200 is mounted on the second portion 300, the rotor 2 and the output shaft of the motor 4 rotate synchronously through magnetic force. The rotor 2 and the motor 4 may also be connected in other ways, as long as the rotor 2 and the motor 4 are automatically connected when the housing 1 and the base 3 are docked, and the rotor 2 and the motor 4 are separated when the housing 1 and the base 3 are separated.

[0101] 4 , 5 and 10 , in some embodiments, the first limiting member 31 is provided with a card slot 311 , the second limiting member 5 includes a movable portion 51 and a first elastic member 52 , the movable portion 51 can be triggered to move between an unlocked position and a locked position, in the unlocked position the movable portion 51 is disengaged from the card slot 311 , in the locked position the movable portion 51 extends into the card slot 311 , the first elastic member 52 is connected to the movable portion 51 to apply a force to the movable portion 51 to move toward the locked position.

[0102] When the tower fan 100 is in the assembled state, the movable portion 51 is in the locked position, that is, the movable portion 51 extends into the retaining groove 311, restricting the movable direction of the first portion 200, thereby fixing the first portion 200 to the second portion 300. The first elastic member 52 also applies a force to the movable portion 51 toward the locked position, so that the movable portion 51 can be stably located in the retaining groove 311, thereby enhancing the stability of the cooperation between the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 5, that is, improving the stability of the first portion 200 installed on the second portion 300.

[0103] When the tower fan 100 is in the to-be-separated state, the movable portion 51 is in the unlocked position, that is, the movable portion 51 is separated from the slot 311 , releasing the restriction on the first portion 200 , thereby allowing the first portion 200 to move relative to the second portion 300 .

[0104] 4 , 5 and 10 , in some specific embodiments, the card slot 311 is provided on the cover 333 of the base 3 , and the movable portion 51 and the first elastic member 52 are both provided on the lower shell 15 of the housing 1 , so that the movable portion 51 and the first elastic member 52 can be removed from the second portion 300 along with the first portion 200 , thereby facilitating maintenance of the movable portion 51 and the elastic member.

[0105] 4, 5, and 10, in some embodiments, one of the housing 1 and the base 3 is provided with an inserting portion 34, and the other is provided with an inserting channel 16. In the assembled state, the inserting portion 34 is plugged into and mated with the inserting channel 16. This plugging and mating of the inserting portion 34 and the inserting channel 16 restricts the movement direction of the first portion 200, i.e., the first portion 200 can only move along the direction of insertion between the inserting portion 34 and the inserting channel 16. The movable portion 51 then engages the latching slot 311 to restrict movement of the first portion 200 in this direction, thereby securing the first portion 200 to the second portion 300.

[0106] In the above technical solution, the disassembly method of the shell 1 and the base 3 is simple. When the first part 200 needs to be disassembled, the movable part 51 is triggered to move the movable part 51 to a position away from the card slot 311, and then the shell 1 is moved in a direction away from the base 3 so that the plug-in part 34 is inserted out of the plug-in channel 16.

[0107] 4 , 5 and 10 , in some specific embodiments, the lower shell 15 of the housing 1 is provided with an inserting channel 16 , a movable portion 51 and a first elastic member 52 , and the top of the base 3 is provided with an inserting portion 34 and a slot 311 .

[0108] When installing the first part 200 on the second part 300, the first part 200 is moved from top to bottom until the plug-in portion 34 of the base 3 is inserted into the plug-in channel 16 of the shell 1. When the plug-in portion 34 is located in the plug-in channel 16, the shell 1 can only move in the up and down directions. When the shell 1 is installed in place, the movable portion 51 is triggered so that the movable portion 51 extends into the card slot 311, limiting the up and down movement of the shell 1, thereby fixing the shell 1 on the base 3, that is, the first part 200 is installed on the second part 300.

[0109] 10 , 11 and 12 , in some embodiments, at least a portion of the movable portion 51 is located in the plug-in channel 16 in the locked position, and the plug-in portion 34 is provided on the side of the first limiting member 31 facing the plug-in channel 16 . When the plug-in portion 34 is inserted into the plug-in channel 16 , the plug-in portion 34 pushes the movable portion 51 to move toward the unlocked position.

[0110] In the above technical solution, the plug portion 34 is disposed on the side of the first stopper 31 facing the insertion channel 16. Because the first stopper 31 is provided with a latching slot 311, the latching slot 311 is located on the side of the plug portion 34 away from the insertion channel 16. When the plug portion 34 is located within the insertion channel 16, the movable portion 51 can move until it is partially located within the insertion channel 16 and extends into the latching slot 311. The movable portion 51 blocks the plug portion 34 from moving away from the insertion channel 16, thereby securing the first portion 200 to the second portion 300.

[0111] Because the first elastic member 52 always exerts a force on the movable portion 51, when the first part 200 is in a position away from the second part 300, the movable portion 51 is also in a locked position under the force exerted by the first elastic member 52, that is, at least a portion of the movable portion 51 is located in the insertion channel 16. In the embodiment of the present application, when the plug-in portion 34 is inserted into the insertion channel 16, the plug-in portion 34 pushes the movable portion 51 toward the unlocked position to prevent the movable portion 51 from affecting the insertion of the insertion portion. When the plug-in portion 34 is fully inserted into the insertion channel 16, the first part 200 is installed in place, and the movable portion 51 is exactly opposite the card slot 311. Under the force of the first elastic member 52, the movable portion 51 automatically moves into the card slot 311, thereby fixing the first part 200 to the second part 300.

[0112] With the above technical solution, when installing the first part 200 , the user only needs to completely insert the plug-in portion 34 into the plug-in channel 16 , and the movable portion 51 will automatically be inserted into the card slot 311 to fix the first part 200 , making the installation operation more convenient and quick.

[0113] 10 , 11 and 12 , in some specific embodiments, the plug-in portion 34 is provided with a guide slope 341 , which extends obliquely to be suitable for slidingly cooperating with the movable portion 51 to push the movable portion 51 to move when the plug-in portion 34 is inserted into the plug-in channel 16 .

[0114] When the first portion 200 is positioned away from the second portion 300, the first elastic member 52 exerts a force that causes the movable portion 51 to partially reside within the insertion channel 16. A gap is left between the end of the movable portion 51 and the inner wall of the insertion channel 16, allowing the top end of the plug-in portion 34 to enter. When the top end of the plug-in portion 34 enters the gap, the guiding slope 341 of the plug-in portion 34 contacts the movable portion 51. As the plug-in portion 34 continues to penetrate deeper into the insertion channel 16, the guiding slope 341 continuously pushes the movable portion 51 toward the unlocked position until the plug-in portion 34 is fully inserted into the insertion channel 16 and the movable portion 51 is aligned with the retaining groove 311. Under the force of the first elastic member 52, the movable portion 51 automatically moves into the retaining groove 311, thereby securing the first portion 200 to the second portion 300.

[0115] In the above technical solution, the guide bevel 341 can be used to push the movable part 51 to move when the plug-in part 34 is inserted into the plug-in channel 16, thereby improving the smoothness of pushing the movable part 51 to move. In addition, the guide bevel 341 has a simple structure and is easy to form, which also reduces the cost of the tower fan 100.

[0116] In some embodiments, the extension direction of the plug-in channel is a vertical direction, and the movable direction of the movable portion 51 is a horizontal direction, so that the movable portion 51 can move into the plug-in channel or away from the plug-in channel.

[0117] The included angle between the guiding inclined surface 341 and the vertical direction is K, and in the embodiment of the present application, 30°≤K≤45°.

[0118] With the above technical solution, if K is greater than 45°, when the guide bevel 341 pushes the movable part 51, the friction between the guide bevel 341 and the movable part 51 is large, the pushing smoothness is low, and it is easy to cause wear of parts. If K is less than 30°, it will affect the structural strength of the plug-in part itself. The embodiment of the present application limits the angle of the guide bevel 341 to 30°≤K≤45°, ensuring the smoothness of the guide bevel 341 pushing the movable part 51 to move while also ensuring the structural strength of the plug-in part.

[0119] In some specific embodiments, K is 40°. In some other embodiments, K may also be other angles such as 30°, 35°, or 45°.

[0120] In some specific embodiments, the plug-in portion 34 is constructed as a right-angled triangle structure, the oblique side of the plug-in portion 34 is formed as a guide slope 341, one right-angled side of the plug-in portion 34 is in contact with the inner wall of the plug-in channel 16, and the other right-angled side of the plug-in portion 34 is spaced apart from the top surface of the base 3 to form a card slot 311.

[0121] The plug-in portion 34 in the above technical solution has a simple structure, is easy to produce, and reduces the cost of the tower fan 100.

[0122] Referring to Figure 18, in some embodiments, a plurality of plug-in portions 34 are provided on the top of the base 3, and the plurality of plug-in portions 34 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the tower fan 100. A plurality of plug-in channels 16 are correspondingly provided at the bottom of the outer shell 1. The plurality of plug-in portions 34 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of plug-in channels 16, and each plug-in portion 34 is inserted into the corresponding plug-in channel 16.

[0123] The cooperation between the multiple plug-in portions 34 and the plug-in channels 16 further improves the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the base 3 and further improves the secureness of the installation of the first part 200.

[0124] In some specific embodiments, four plug-in portions 34 are provided, and the four plug-in portions 34 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the tower fan 100. Four corresponding plug-in channels 16 are provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The four plug-in portions 34 correspond one-to-one with the four plug-in channels 16, and each plug-in portion 34 is inserted into a corresponding plug-in channel 16. In other embodiments, the number of plug-in portions 34 can also be two, three, eight, or other numbers.

[0125] 3 and 4 , in some embodiments, the tower fan 100 further includes a dial housing 6 , the dial housing 6 is mounted to the base 3 or the housing 1 , and the second limiting member 5 is provided on the dial housing 6 .

[0126] The second stopper 5 includes a movable portion 51 and a first elastic member 52. The movable portion 51 is movably disposed within the dial housing 6, and the first elastic member 52 applies a force to the movable portion 51. By disposing the second stopper 5 in the dial housing 6, the risk of interference between other external structures and the movable portion 51 or the first elastic member 52 is reduced, thereby improving the operational stability of the second stopper 5.

[0127] 3 and 4 , in some specific embodiments, the dial housing 6 is disposed on the housing 1 , and the dial housing 6 is formed as the lower housing 15 of the housing 1 , which reduces the number of parts of the tower fan 100 and reduces the cost of the tower fan 100 .

[0128] 3 , 4 and 10 , in some embodiments, there are multiple slots 311 and multiple movable portions 51 , and the multiple movable portions 51 correspond one-to-one to the multiple slots 311 , and each movable portion 51 can be moved into the corresponding slot 311 .

[0129] A movable dial 53 is provided in the dial housing 6. The movable dial 53 is provided with a toggle portion 54 for triggering the movement of the movable dial 53. Multiple movable portions 51 are provided on the movable dial 53 to be driven to move by the movable dial 53. The first elastic member 52 is connected to the dial housing 6 and the movable dial 53 respectively.

[0130] In the above technical solution, the limiting cooperation between the multiple movable parts 51 and the multiple card slots 311 further reduces the possibility of the plug-in part 34 being separated from the plug-in channel 16, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the base 3.

[0131] The multiple movable parts 51 are all arranged on the movable dial 53, so that the movable dial 53 can drive the multiple movable parts 51 to move synchronously. When the user drives the movable dial 53 to move via the toggle part 54, the multiple movable parts 51 are all moved under the drive of the movable dial 53. In other words, the user can control the movement of the toggle part 54 to trigger the movement of the multiple movable parts 51, which improves the convenience of the user in moving the multiple movable parts 51.

[0132] The first elastic member 52 is connected to the dial housing 6 and the movable dial 53 respectively, so that the first elastic member 52 applies a force to the movable dial 53 so that the multiple movable parts 51 have a movement tendency to move to the locking position.

[0133] When the second position-limiting member 5 (including the movable portion 51, the movable dial 53, and the toggle portion 54) is not affected by external forces, the multiple movable portions 51 are all in the locked position under the force of the first elastic member 52. When the toggle portion 54 is toggled or the movable portions 51 are pushed by the guide slope 341, the multiple movable portions 51 move synchronously toward the unlocked position.

[0134] In some specific embodiments, a plurality of plug-in portions 34 are provided on the base 3 , and the plurality of plug-in portions 34 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the tower fan 100 .

[0135] A slot 311 is provided between each plug-in portion 34 and the base 3. A dial housing 6 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The dial housing 6 is provided with a plurality of plug-in channels 16. The plurality of plug-in portions 34 correspond to the plurality of plug-in channels 16 in a one-to-one manner.

[0136] The movable dial 53 is constructed as an annular structure and is rotatably disposed in the dial housing 6. The movable dial 53 is provided with a plurality of movable parts 51, and the plurality of movable parts 51 correspond to the plurality of slots 311. When the movable dial 53 rotates, the plurality of movable parts 51 are driven to move.

[0137] The toggle portion 54 is at least partially exposed to the outside of the dial housing 6 , so that a user can drive the movable dial 53 in the dial housing 6 to rotate through the toggle portion 54 .

[0138] 7 , 8 and 9 , in some specific embodiments, the dial housing 6 is provided with a first fixing column 61 , a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the circumferential side of the first fixing column 61 , the plurality of reinforcing ribs are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the first fixing column 61 , and a screw is threadedly connected to the top of the first fixing column 61 .

[0139] The movable dial 53 is provided with a second fixing column 531 , and a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the circumference of the second fixing column 531 . The plurality of reinforcing ribs are spaced apart along the circumference of the second fixing column 531 . A screw is threadedly connected to the top of the second fixing column 531 .

[0140] The first elastic member 52 is constructed as a first spring, and both ends of the first spring are provided with an annular structure. The annular structure at one end of the first spring is sleeved on the first fixing column 61 and clamped between the reinforcing rib and the head of the screw; the other end of the first spring is sleeved on the second fixing column 531 and clamped between the reinforcing rib and the head of the screw.

[0141] 5 and 9 , the first spring is adapted to pull the second fixing post 531 toward the first fixing post 61. When the movable portion 51 moves toward the unlocked position, the second fixing post 531 moves away from the first fixing post 61, and the first spring elastically stretches. When the second position-limiting member 5 (comprising the movable portion 51, the movable dial 53, and the toggle portion 54) is free from external forces, the first spring elastically recovers, pulling the second fixing post 531 toward the first fixing post 61, thereby driving the movable dial 53 to move, and thus driving the multiple movable portions 51 toward the locked position.

[0142] The first elastic member 52 in the above technical solution has a simple structure and a simple installation method, thereby reducing the cost of the tower fan 100.

[0143] In some other embodiments, the first elastic member 52 may also be an elastic rubber member or a compression spring. When the movable portion 51 is in the unlocked position, the elastic rubber member or compression spring is compressed. When the second limiting member 5 (including the movable portion 51, the movable dial 53, and the toggle portion 54) is not affected by external forces, the elastic rubber member or compression spring elastically expands, pushing the movable portion 51 toward the locked position. Other situations are also possible, as long as the first elastic member 52 exerts a force on the movable portion 51 to move toward the locked position.

[0144] 4 , in some embodiments, the dial housing 6 includes a dial seat 62 and a dial cover 63, wherein the dial seat 62 and the dial cover 63 define a movable space for the movable dial 53. Assembling the dial seat 62 and the dial cover 63 to form the dial housing 6 helps reduce mold making difficulty and cost.

[0145] In some embodiments, the dial base 62 and the dial cover 63 can be connected securely using multiple fasteners (screws or bolts). In other embodiments, the dial base 62 and the dial cover 63 can be integrated using ultrasonic technology or glued together. In still other embodiments, the dial base 62 and the dial cover 63 can be detachably connected using a snap-fit ​​structure, facilitating later maintenance or replacement. Other embodiments are also possible, as long as the dial base 62 and the dial cover 63 are connected.

[0146] In the above embodiment, referring to FIG21 , the dial housing 6 includes two components, a dial seat 62 and a dial cover 63 , with the dial seat 62 and the dial cover 63 defining a movable space for the movable dial 53 . Referring to FIG22 , in some other embodiments, the dial housing 6 may include only one component, the dial seat 62 . The dial seat 62 defines a placement slot 621 , in which the movable dial 53 is rotatably disposed. The placement slot 621 includes a plurality of limiting protrusions 622 , which abut against the top of the movable dial 53 to restrict the movable dial 53 from leaving the placement slot 621 , thereby ensuring that the movable dial 53 can only rotate within the placement slot 621 .

[0147] The dial housing 6 in the above technical solution only includes one component, the dial seat 62 , which reduces the cost of the dial housing 6 .

[0148] In some specific embodiments, an avoidance notch is provided on the movable dial 53 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 622. When the movable dial 53 is installed on the dial base 62, the avoidance notch of the movable dial 53 is aligned with the limiting protrusion 622, and then the movable dial 53 is lowered into the placement groove 621. Then, the movable dial 53 is rotated so that the avoidance notch and the limiting protrusion 622 are misaligned, thereby restricting the movable dial 53 in the placement groove 621.

[0149] The movable dial 53 in the above technical solution has a simple installation method and a simple installation structure, and is easy to manufacture.

[0150] 4 , 5 and 9 , in some specific embodiments, the dial seat 62 is provided with a first fixing post 61 , the first fixing post 61 is located on the side of the dial seat 62 away from the movable dial 53 , the second fixing post 531 passes through the dial seat 62 , the first elastic member 52 is located on the side of the dial seat 62 away from the movable dial 53 , and the two ends of the first elastic member 52 are respectively connected to the first fixing post 61 and the second fixing post 531 .

[0151] Through the above technical solution, the first fixing column 61, the second fixing column 531 and the first elastic member 52 are arranged outside the dial housing 6, thereby avoiding the first fixing column 61, the second fixing column 531 and the first elastic member 52 occupying the space inside the dial housing 6, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the dial.

[0152] 4 and 15 , in some embodiments, the dial cover 63 is provided with a first avoidance opening 631 , and the toggle portion 54 passes through the first avoidance opening 631 and is snap-fitted with the movable dial 53 .

[0153] In the above technical solution, the toggle portion 54 and the movable dial 53 are separate structures, which facilitates the assembly of the movable dial 53 , the dial housing 6 and the toggle portion 54 .

[0154] 15 , 16 and 17 , in some specific embodiments, a mounting seat 532 is provided on the side of the movable dial 53 facing the first avoidance opening 631 , an opening is provided on the side of the mounting seat 532 facing the first avoidance opening 631 , a first buckle 541 is provided on both the left and right sides of the toggle portion 54 , and a second buckle 542 is provided on the upper or lower side of the toggle portion 54 .

[0155] Two first limiting grooves 5321 are provided in the mounting seat 532 at positions corresponding to the two first clips 541. When the toggle portion 54 is inserted into the mounting seat 532, the first clips 541 are locked in the corresponding first limiting grooves 5321 to limit the toggle portion 54 from separating from the mounting seat 532, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the toggle portion 54 and the movable dial 53.

[0156] An avoidance hole 5322 is provided on the upper or lower side of the mounting seat 532 at a position corresponding to the second clip 542. When the toggle part 54 is inserted into the mounting seat 532, the second clip 542 is locked in the corresponding avoidance hole 5322, further limiting the toggle part 54 from detaching from the mounting seat 532, and further improving the stability of the connection between the toggle part 54 and the movable dial 53.

[0157] In some embodiments, the direction of the locked position and / or the unlocked position is marked on the toggle portion 54. To prevent the direction displayed on the toggle portion 54 from being opposite to the actual direction of movement after the toggle portion 54 is inserted into the mounting seat 532, in this embodiment of the present application, one of the movable dial 53 and the toggle portion 54 is provided with a positioning groove 5323 and the other is provided with a first positioning protrusion 543. The first positioning protrusion 543 is inserted into the positioning groove 5323 to position the circumferential angle of the toggle portion 54, thereby preventing the toggle portion 54 from being inserted in the wrong direction.

[0158] In some specific embodiments, the first positioning protrusion 543 is arranged on the left side of the toggle part 54, and the positioning groove 5323 is also arranged on the left side of the mounting seat 532. Only when the angle of the toggle part 54 itself is correct can the first positioning protrusion 543 be smoothly inserted into the positioning groove 5323, and the toggle part 54 can be installed in place (the first clip 541 enters the first limiting groove 5321, and the second clip 542 enters the avoidance hole 5322). If the angle of the toggle part 54 itself is incorrect during insertion, the first positioning protrusion 543 will stop with other structures of the mounting seat 532, hindering the continued insertion of the toggle part 54, so as to remind the staff that the insertion angle is incorrect.

[0159] 6 , in some embodiments, the width H of the first avoidance opening 631 is less than 7 mm to prevent the user's fingers from getting stuck, thereby providing safety protection.

[0160] 13 and 14 , in some embodiments, the tower fan 100 further includes a first mating member 533 and a second mating member 35. The first mating member 533 is disposed on the movable portion 51, and the second mating member 35 is spaced apart from the first stopper 31. In the ready-to-separate state, the first mating member 533 and the second mating member 35 cooperate to position the movable portion 51 in the unlocked position, thereby facilitating separation of the first portion 200 from the second portion 300.

[0161] Because the first elastic member 52 constantly exerts a force on the movable portion 51 toward the locked position, disassembly of the first portion 200 requires overcoming this force to disengage the movable portion 51 from the retaining slot 311, and then moving the first portion 200 away from the second portion 300. While moving the first portion 200 away from the second portion 300, the movable portion 51 must remain in a position disengaged from the retaining slot 311. In other embodiments, one person may be required to control the position of the toggle member 54 to maintain the movable portion 51 in the unlocked position while another person moves the first portion 200, which is inconvenient. However, in the present application, only one person is required to complete disassembly of the first portion 200.

[0162] 13 and 14 , for the tower fan 100 provided in the present application, the user first moves the movable portion 51 through the toggle portion 54 so that the movable portion 51 moves to the unlocked position, and makes the first mating piece 533 cooperate with the second mating piece 35 to position the movable portion 51 in the unlocked position. The user then moves the first portion 200 away from the second portion 300 to complete the disassembly of the first portion 200. Only one person is required to complete the disassembly operation.

[0163] In the above technical solution, the cooperation between the first matching piece 533 and the second matching piece 35 makes the disassembly of the first part 200 more convenient and quick.

[0164] In some embodiments, the travel of the movable portion 51 from the locked position to the position where the first mating piece 533 and the second mating piece 35 engage is L1, and the travel of the movable portion 51 from the locked position to the position just out of the slot 311 is L2, and L1 is greater than L2.

[0165] The above-described technical solution prevents the first engaging member 533 and the second engaging member 35 from interfering with the automatic engagement of the movable portion 51 into the slot 311. Because the first engaging member 533 and the second engaging member 35 are respectively disposed on the first portion 200 and the second portion 300, when the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are separated, the first engaging member 533 and the second engaging member 35 automatically separate. Then, under the action of the first elastic member 52, the movable portion 51 moves back to the locked position. When the first portion 200 is reinstalled, the plug portion 34 is inserted into the insertion channel 16 and pushes the movable portion 51 to move. The maximum travel of the plug portion 34 pushing the movable portion 51 is L2. Therefore, during the insertion of the plug portion 34 into the insertion channel 16, the movable member does not move to the point where the first engaging member 533 and the second engaging member 35 engage, meaning that the movable portion 51 is not positioned in the unlocked position. When the plug portion 34 is fully inserted into the insertion channel 16, the movable portion 51 aligns with the slot 311 and automatically inserts into the slot 311 under the action of the first elastic member 52.

[0166] 14 and 23 , in some embodiments, the first mating piece 533 and the second mating piece 35 are snap-fitted.

[0167] In the above technical solution, the matching manner of the first matching member 533 and the second matching member 35 is simple, which reduces the cost of the tower fan 100.

[0168] 14 and 23 , in some specific embodiments, one of the first engaging member 533 and the second engaging member 35 is a third latch 5331, and the other is a second positioning protrusion 351. Alternatively, the third latch 5331 may be provided on the movable portion 51, and the second positioning protrusion 351 may be provided on the base 3. Alternatively, the second positioning protrusion 351 may be provided on the movable portion 51, and the third latch 5331 may be provided on the base 3. As long as the third latch 5331 and the second positioning protrusion 351 engage, the movable portion 51 can be positioned in the unlocked position.

[0169] The first matching member 533 and the second matching member 35 in the above technical solution have simple structures, which reduces the cost of the tower fan 100.

[0170] 24 , in some other embodiments, one of the first mating member 533 and the second mating member 35 includes a second elastic member 352 and the other includes a mating groove 5332 , and the second elastic member 352 is locked in the mating groove 5332 .

[0171] When the movable portion 51 moves to the first mating piece 533 and the second mating piece 35 , at least a portion of the second elastic piece 352 extends into the mating groove 5332 under the action of elastic force and abuts against the inner wall of the mating groove 5332 , thereby limiting the movement of the movable portion 51 .

[0172] In some specific embodiments, a second elastic member 352 is provided on the base 3. The second elastic member 352 includes a second spring 3521 and a bullet head 3522. One end of the second spring 3521 is connected to the base 3 and the other end is connected to the bullet head 3522. The second spring 3521 is adapted to exert a force on the bullet head 3522 to move toward the mating groove 5332. The mating groove 5332 is provided on the movable portion 51. When the movable portion 51 moves until the bullet head 3522 is aligned with the mating groove 5332, the second spring 3521 pushes the bullet head 3522 so that a portion of the bullet head 3522 is retained within the mating groove 5332, thereby achieving the desired positioning of the movable portion 51.

[0173] 25 , in some embodiments, one of the first engaging member 533 and the second engaging member 35 includes a first magnetic member 5333 and the other includes a second magnetic member 353, and the first magnetic member 5333 and the second magnetic member 353 are magnetically engaged. When the movable portion 51 moves to the point where the first engaging member 533 engages with the second engaging member 35, the first magnetic member 5333 and the second magnetic member 353 are magnetically engaged, thereby restricting the movement of the movable portion 51.

[0174] Of course, the first matching piece 533 and the second matching piece 35 may also be in other situations, as long as the movable portion 51 can be positioned in the unlocked position when the first matching piece 533 and the second matching piece 35 are matched.

[0175] 20 , in some embodiments, a first stopper 64 and a second stopper 65 are further provided in the dial housing 6 , and the two stoppers are located at both ends of the movable direction of the toggle portion 54 . The toggle portion 54 can be moved to abut against the first stopper 64 , and can also be moved to abut against the second stopper 65 .

[0176] When the movable part 51 is inserted into the card slot 311, the toggle part 54 stops against the first stop member 64 to limit the continued pulling of the first elastic part 52, thereby ensuring the stability of the movable part 51; when the first matching part is matched with the second matching part, the toggle part 54 stops against the second stop member 65 to limit the misalignment of the first matching part and the second matching part caused by the user continuing to move the toggle part 54, thereby improving the smoothness of the matching between the first matching part 533 and the second matching part 35.

[0177] In some specific embodiments, the first stop member 64 and the second stop member 65 are arranged on the dial base 62. In other embodiments, the first stop member 64 and the second stop member 65 can also be arranged on the dial cover 63. This application is not limited to this.

[0178] 18 , in some embodiments, one of the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 is provided with a central boss 36 extending toward the other, and the other of the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 is provided with a central groove 66 that plugs and mates with the central boss 36. The plug-and-mate engagement of the central boss 36 and the central groove 66 improves the stability of the connection between the first portion 200 and the second portion 300.

[0179] The first part 200 may be provided with a central boss 36 and the second part 300 may be provided with a central groove 66; or the first part 200 may be provided with a central groove 66 and the second part 300 may be provided with a central boss 36. As long as the cooperation between the central boss 36 and the central groove 66 can improve the stability of the connection between the first part 200 and the second part 300, it is sufficient.

[0180] In some specific embodiments, a central boss 36 is provided on the top of the base 3 , and a plurality of plug-in portions 34 are also provided on the top of the base 3 . The plurality of plug-in portions 34 are distributed around the circumference of the central boss 36 and are spaced apart around the circumference of the central boss 36 .

[0181] A dial housing 6 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 . The dial housing 6 defines a central groove 66 . The dial housing 6 is further provided with a plurality of insertion channels 16 . The plurality of insertion channels 16 correspond to the plurality of insertion portions 34 in a one-to-one manner.

[0182] The direction of insertion between the central boss 36 and the central groove 66 is parallel to the direction of insertion between the plug portion 34 and the insertion channel 16. In some further embodiments, the top surface of the central boss 36 is higher than the top surface of the plug portion 34. Therefore, when installing the first part 200 on the second part 300, the first part 200 is moved above the second part 300 and then gradually lowered. First, the top of the central boss 36 is inserted into the central groove 66 to achieve preliminary positioning. The circumferential angle of the first part 200 is then adjusted so that the plug portion 34 is aligned with the insertion channel 16. The first part 200 is then further lowered so that the plug portion 34 is inserted into the insertion channel 16. When the plug portion 34 is fully inserted into the insertion channel 16, the movable portion 51 is inserted into the locking groove 311 to prevent the plug portion 34 from being disengaged from the insertion channel 16, thereby installing the first part 200 on the second part 300.

[0183] 18 , in some embodiments, the cross-section of at least a portion of the central boss 36 gradually decreases in a direction toward the central groove 66 , and the shape of the central groove 66 matches the shape of the central boss 36 .

[0184] Through the above technical solution, the center boss 36 is formed into a truncated cone structure, and a tapered guide surface is formed on the circumferential side of the center boss 36. When docking the first part 200 with the second part 300, the user does not need to lower his head to check whether the center boss 36 is aligned with the center groove 66. The tapered guide surface can guide the center boss 36 into the center groove 66, thereby improving the convenience of docking the first part 200 with the second part 300.

[0185] 18 , in some embodiments, the tower fan 100 further includes a first positioning member provided on the first part 200 and a second positioning member provided on the second part 300. The first positioning member and the second positioning member are plugged into each other to position the circumferential angle of the first part 200 to avoid the situation where the front and rear directions of the first part 200 are installed in reverse after the first part 200 is installed on the second part 300. When the first part 200 is installed on the second part 300, if the first positioning member cannot be inserted into the second positioning member, the first part 200 cannot continue to be installed, so as to remind the user that the installation angle of the first part 200 is incorrect, thereby preventing mistakes.

[0186] 18 , in some embodiments, one of the first positioning member and the second positioning member includes a positioning post 67 and the other includes a positioning hole 37 , and the positioning post 67 is inserted into the positioning hole 37 .

[0187] The first and second positioning members of the above technical solution have simple structures, are easy to manufacture, and reduce the cost of the tower fan 100. When the plug portion 34 is inserted into the insertion channel 16, the top end of the plug portion 34 first enters the insertion channel 16 to achieve preliminary positioning of the first portion 200 and the second portion 300, and then the positioning post 67 is inserted into the positioning hole 37 to achieve precise positioning.

[0188] In some specific embodiments, the gap between the positioning post 67 and the positioning hole 37 is between 0.05 mm and 0.2 mm to ensure the accuracy of the docking between the first part 200 and the second part 300 .

[0189] 18 , in some specific embodiments, a downwardly extending positioning post 67 is provided at the bottom of the dial housing 6 , and a positioning hole 37 is provided at the top of the base 3 .

[0190] In some embodiments, a guide surface is further provided at the end of the positioning post 67 , and a guide surface is also provided at the edge of the positioning hole 37 , which effectively improves the convenience of inserting the positioning post 67 into the positioning hole 37 .

[0191] In some embodiments, there are multiple positioning posts 67 , which are spaced apart, and there are correspondingly multiple positioning holes 37 . The multiple positioning posts 67 correspond one-to-one to the multiple positioning holes 37 , and each positioning post 67 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 37 .

[0192] If the circumferential angle of the first part 200 is incorrect when the first part 200 is docked with the second part 300, the positioning column 67 will not be aligned with the positioning hole 37, and the positioning column 67 will stop at the top surface of the base 3 to limit the continued docking of the first part 200.

[0193] When the positioning post 67 abuts against the top surface of the base 3 , a collision may occur, resulting in deformation or damage to components.

[0194] In the above technical solution, by providing a plurality of positioning columns 67 , the force exerted on the positioning columns 67 when colliding with the top surface of the base 3 is reduced, the risk of deformation or damage of components is reduced, and the service life of the tower fan 100 is extended.

[0195] 18 , in some specific embodiments, three positioning posts 67 are provided at the bottom of the dial housing 6 , and the three positioning posts 67 are distributed at intervals. Three positioning holes 37 are provided at the top of the base 3 , and the three positioning posts 67 correspond one to one with the three positioning holes 37 .

[0196] Referring to Figure 19, in some embodiments, the second part 300 also includes: a circuit module for connecting to an external power supply and a switch module 7 for controlling the on and off of the circuit module. The first part 200 is provided with a trigger member 68. When the first part 200 is installed on the second part 300, the trigger member 68 triggers the switch module 7, and the circuit module is powered on. When the first part 200 is separated from the second part 300, the trigger member 68 detaches from the switch module 7, and the circuit module is powered off.

[0197] Through the above technical solution, after the first part 200 is removed from the second part 300, the output terminal of the motor 4 on the second part 300 is exposed. At this time, if the output terminal of the motor 4 rotates, it may cause harm to the user. In the embodiment of the present application, because the trigger member 68 is also separated from the switch module 7 when the first part 200 is separated from the second part 300, the circuit module is powered off after the first part 200 is removed, that is, the motor 4 is powered off, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of the output terminal of the motor 4 rotating, thereby improving the safety of the tower fan 100.

[0198] In some specific embodiments, the circuit module and the switch module 7 are both disposed within the base 3. The switch module 7 is a normally open spring switch. When the switch module 7 is not triggered by the trigger member 68, the switch module 7 is disconnected. A second avoidance opening is provided at the top of the base 3, facing the switch module 7. The trigger member 68 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 and extends downward.

[0199] When the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are connected, the trigger member 68 at the bottom of the housing 1 is inserted into the second escape opening and presses the spring of the switch module 7, turning on the switch module 7 and energizing the circuit module, thereby allowing the tower fan 100 to discharge air normally. When the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are separated, the trigger member 68 is withdrawn from the second escape opening, separating the trigger member 68 from the switch module 7 and de-energizing the circuit module.

[0200] In the above technical solution, the arrangement of the trigger member 68 and the switch module 7 is relatively simple, which facilitates the production of the tower fan 100 and reduces the cost of the tower fan 100.

[0201] 13 and 28 , in some other embodiments, a trigger member 68 is disposed on the movable dial 53 so as to move with the movement of the movable dial 53. The spring element of the switch module 7 is disposed on a horizontal side of the switch module 7 and is disposed toward the trigger member 68. When the movable dial 53 moves and drives the movable portion 51 toward the locked position, the movable dial 53 also drives the trigger member 68 toward triggering the switch module 7. When the movable dial 53 moves and drives the movable portion 51 toward the unlocked position, the movable dial 53 also drives the trigger member 68 away from the switch module 7. Furthermore, when the first portion 200 is mounted on the second portion 300, when the movable portion 51 is in the locked position, the trigger member 68 triggers the switch module 7, turning on the circuit module. When the movable portion 51 is in the unlocked position, the trigger member 68 separates from the switch module 7, disconnecting the circuit module and de-energizing the second portion 300.

[0202] Through the above technical solution, when the user removes the first part 200, they first move the movable part 51 to the unlocked position by moving the toggle part 54, and then move the first part 200 away from the second part 300. While moving the toggle part 54, the second part 300 is simultaneously powered off, thereby improving the safety of the tower fan 100. In addition, the trigger member 68 in the embodiment of the present application triggers the switch module 7 in the horizontal direction, avoiding the situation where the trigger member 68 cannot trigger the switch module 7 due to assembly errors in the vertical direction between the first part 200 and the second part 300, thereby improving the reliability of the tower fan 100.

[0203] 1, 2, and 3, a tower fan 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a first portion 200 and a second portion 300. The first portion 200 is primarily a component for completing airflow discharge, and the second portion 300 is primarily a component for providing power to the first portion 200. The first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are detachably connected, so that the first portion 200 can have an assembled state and a separated state.

[0204] Specifically, the first part 200 includes a housing 1 and a rotor 2. The housing 1 is provided with an air outlet 11, and the rotor 2 is disposed within the housing 1 to direct air toward the outlet 11. The second part 300 includes a base 3 and a motor 4. The motor 4 is disposed on the base 3 and detachably engages with the rotor 2 to drive the rotor 2 to rotate. In the assembled state, the housing 1 is connected to the base 3 to ensure the stability of the first part 200, and the rotor 2 is connected to the motor 4 so that the motor 4 can drive the rotor 2 to rotate and achieve fanning. In the separated state, the housing 1 is separated from the base 3, and the rotor 2 is separated from the motor 4.

[0205] Because the motor 4 is mounted in the second portion 300 and there are no electrical components in the first portion 200, there is no risk of short circuits when cleaning the first portion 200, which improves the convenience of cleaning the first portion 200. For example, when cleaning the first portion 200, the first portion 200 can be removed from the second portion 300 and rinsed directly under the faucet.

[0206] 3 and 31 , the second portion 300 further includes a circuit module and a switch module 7 . The circuit module is connected to the power module and the motor 4 , respectively, to supply current to the motor 4 . The switch module 7 is connected to the circuit module to control the on / off operation of the circuit module. It should be noted that the power module can be an external power source or a battery module provided within the tower fan 100 , as long as it can supply current to the motor 4 .

[0207] The first part 200 is provided with a trigger member 68. In the assembled state, the trigger member 68 is suitable for triggering the switch module 7, and the circuit module is powered on. In the separated state, the trigger member 68 is separated from the switch module 7, and the circuit module is powered off.

[0208] In the separated state, the first part 200 is separated from the second part 300 as a whole, that is, the trigger member 68 is also separated from the switch module 7, resulting in that after the first part 200 is disassembled, the circuit module is powered off, that is, the motor 4 is powered off, thereby effectively avoiding the risk caused by the rotation of the output end of the motor 4 and improving the safety of the tower fan 100.

[0209] According to the tower fan 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the first part 200 can be separated from the second part 300 as a whole, which improves the convenience for users to clean the outer shell 1 and the wind wheel 2; and through the cooperation of the switch module 7 and the trigger member 68, the second part is in a power-off state when in the separated state, effectively avoiding the risks brought by the rotation of the output end of the motor 4, and improving the safety of the tower fan 100.

[0210] 29, 30, and 31, in some embodiments, the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are pluggably mated, one of the housing 1 and the base 3 is provided with a central boss 36 extending toward the other, and the other of the housing 1 and the base 3 is provided with a central groove 66 that plugs and mates with the central boss 36. The pluggable mating of the central boss 36 and the central groove 66 improves the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the base 3.

[0211] The housing 1 may be provided with a central boss 36 and the base 3 may be provided with a central groove 66; alternatively, the housing 1 may be provided with a central groove 66 and the base 3 may be provided with a central boss 36. This is sufficient as long as the coordination between the central boss 36 and the central groove 66 improves the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the base 3. In some specific embodiments, the top of the base 3 is provided with an upwardly extending central boss 36, and the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a central groove 66.

[0212] Referring to Figure 31, in some embodiments, the trigger member 68 is fixedly arranged on the side of the housing 1 facing the base 3. When the first part 200 and the second part 300 are docked, the center boss 36 and the center groove 66 are plugged into each other, and the trigger member 68 presses the switch module 7 to trigger the switch module 7, so that the current module is energized.

[0213] In the above technical solution, the cooperation mode between the trigger member 68 and the switch module 7 is simple, which reduces the cost of the tower fan 100.

[0214] In the above technical solution, when the first part 200 and the second part 300 are connected, there are many parts between them, which may cause assembly errors between the first part 200 and the second part 300. Since the trigger travel of the switch module 7 is only a few millimeters, it is possible that the trigger member 68 cannot be pressed. In this case, even if the first part 200 is installed on the second part 300, the power-off motor 4 cannot drive the wind wheel 2 to rotate.

[0215] 32 to 35 , in order to improve the above-mentioned problem, in other embodiments, the trigger member 68 is movably provided in the first part 200 . In the assembled state, the trigger member 68 can be moved to trigger or move away from the switch module 7 . There is an angle between the plug-in direction of the first part 200 relative to the second part 300 and the movable direction of the trigger member 68 .

[0216] In the embodiment of the present application, because the trigger member 68 is movably arranged on the first part 200, even if an assembly error occurs between the first part 200 and the second part 300, the impact of the assembly error can be reduced by the movement of the trigger member 68, thereby reducing the risk that the trigger member 68 cannot press the trigger switch module 7 due to the assembly error between the first part 200 and the second part 300.

[0217] In addition, there is an angle between the plugging direction of the first part 200 relative to the second part 300 and the movable direction of the trigger member 68, which further reduces the impact of the assembly error between the first part 200 and the second part 300 and improves the reliability of the tower fan 100.

[0218] In some specific embodiments, the plugging direction of the first portion 200 relative to the second portion 300 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the trigger member 68 .

[0219] Through the above technical solution, even if an assembly error occurs between the first part 200 and the second part 300, it will not affect the activity of the trigger member 68, and will not affect the activity of the trigger member 68 to trigger the switch module 7, further improving the reliability of the tower fan 100.

[0220] In some specific embodiments, referring to FIG2 , the first portion 200 and the second portion 300 are arranged in a vertical direction. Referring to FIG32 and FIG33 , the switch module 7 includes a metal spring 71 and two contact points connected to the circuit module. When the metal spring 71 contacts both contact points, the circuit module is turned on. Referring to FIG33 , FIG34 , and FIG35 , in the horizontal direction, the trigger member 68 is located on one side of the metal spring 71 to trigger the metal spring 71. When the trigger member 68 moves away from the metal spring 71, the metal spring 71, under the action of its own restoring force, moves one end of the metal spring 71 toward the side away from the contact points, thereby disconnecting the switch module 7. When the trigger member 68 moves toward the metal spring 71, it presses the metal spring 71, causing the metal spring 71 to contact both contact points, thereby turning on the switch module 7.

[0221] In the embodiment of the present application, when installing the first part 200 on the second part 300, the first part 200 and the second part 300 are vertically aligned. Then, the trigger member 68 is moved horizontally, causing the trigger member 68 to trigger the metal spring 71 horizontally, thereby turning on the switch module 7 and energizing the motor 4. Because the trigger member 68 triggers the switch module 7 horizontally, the impact of vertical assembly errors between the first part 200 and the second part 300 is reduced, ensuring the normal operation of the tower fan 100.

[0222] 3 , 29 and 30 , in some embodiments, the second portion 300 is provided with a protective shell 33 , the switch module 7 and the circuit module are both located within the protective shell 33 , the protective shell 33 is provided with a second avoidance area 361 , and the trigger member 68 is provided to extend into the second avoidance area 361 to trigger the switch module 7 .

[0223] It should be noted that the switch module 7 and the circuit module are both located inside the protective shell 33. The switch module 7 and the circuit module may be completely located inside the protective shell 33. For example, a battery module is also provided inside the protective shell 33, so that the circuit module can complete the electrical connection between components inside the protective shell 33; or a part of the circuit module may extend outside the protective shell 33 to connect with an external power supply.

[0224] The above technical solution reduces the risk of the switch module 7 and the circuit module being accidentally touched by arranging the switch module 7 and the circuit module in the protective shell 33, thereby improving the safety of the tower fan 100.

[0225] 29 , 30 and 32 , in some specific embodiments, a central boss 36 is provided on the top of the protective shell 33 , and the second avoidance area 361 includes an avoidance groove 3611 provided at the end of the central boss 36 , and the bottom wall of the avoidance groove 3611 is provided with an avoidance opening 3612 connected to the interior of the protective shell 33 . In the assembled state, the trigger member 68 passes through the avoidance groove 3611 and the avoidance opening 3612 to trigger the switch module 7 .

[0226] The above technical solution has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, thereby reducing the cost of the tower fan 100 .

[0227] 33 , 34 and 35 , in some embodiments, the tower fan 100 further includes a protective member 38 , which is disposed in the second portion 300 to prevent liquid from flowing toward the switch module 7 , thereby reducing the risk of short circuit in the switch module 7 and improving the safety of the tower fan 100 .

[0228] 33 , 34 and 35 , in some specific embodiments, the switch module 7 and the avoidance opening 3612 are staggered in the vertical direction to prevent external liquid from directly contacting the switch module 7 after entering the avoidance opening 3612 , thereby reducing the risk of short circuit of the switch module 7 .

[0229] The protective member 38 is rotatably disposed between the switch module 7 and the trigger member 68 so as to be driven to rotate by the trigger member 68 or the switch module 7 . The trigger member 68 is adapted to trigger the switch module 7 through the protective member 38 .

[0230] In the above technical solution, in the assembled state, the trigger member 68 passes through the avoidance opening 3612 and pushes the protective member 38 horizontally, which presses the switch module 7 through the protective member 38 to energize the circuit module, ensuring normal operation of the tower fan 100. In the disengaged state, the metal spring 71 of the switch module 7 elastically returns to a position away from the contact point and pushes the protective member 38 to rotate away from the switch module 7, ensuring that the switch module 7 is in the de-energized state.

[0231] 33 , 34 and 35 , in some embodiments, the protective member 38 includes a rotating portion 381 and an extension portion 382 , the rotating portion 381 is rotatably provided on the protective shell 33 , the extension portion 382 is connected to the rotating portion 381 , and an upwardly extending water baffle 383 is provided on the side of the extension portion 382 facing the switch module 7 , and the trigger member 68 is suitable for contacting the other side of the extension portion 382 to push the protective member 38 to rotate.

[0232] In the above technical solution, the protective member 38 is rotatably connected to the protective shell 33 through the rotating part 381, which limits the movement mode of the protective member 38 and improves the stability of the protective member 38; a water baffle 383 is provided on the side of the extension part 382 facing the switch module 7, which further reduces the possibility of contact between the liquid and the switch module 7, further improves the safety of the tower fan 100, and the contact area between the protective member 38 and the metal spring 71 is also increased through the water baffle 383, thereby improving the stability of the protective member 38 pressing the metal spring 71.

[0233] 34 and 35 , in some embodiments, the trigger member 68 is connected to the movable portion 51 to move in conjunction with the movable portion 51 .

[0234] Because when installing the first part 200 on the second part 300, it is necessary to move the movable portion 51 so that the movable portion 51 extends into the retaining slot 311 to secure the first part 200, and simultaneously move the trigger member 68 so that the trigger member 68 presses the switch module 7 to energize the circuit module. In this embodiment of the present application, by connecting the trigger member 68 to the movable portion 51, only moving the trigger member 68 or the movable portion 51 is required to simultaneously secure the first part 200 and energize the circuit module, effectively improving the convenience of installing the first part 200.

[0235] In some specific embodiments, the trigger member 68 is disposed on the movable dial 53 , so that the movable dial 53 can drive the trigger member 68 to move together with the movable member under the action of the first elastic member 52 .

[0236] That is to say, after the plug-in part 34 is inserted into the plug-in channel 16, the movable part 51 automatically opens into the slot 311 under the action of the first elastic member 52, thereby fixing the first part 200. The trigger member 68 automatically triggers the switch module 7 under the action of the first elastic member 52, so that the circuit module is turned on, which greatly improves the convenience of installation of the tower fan 100.

[0237] 26 and 27 , in some embodiments, the second portion 300 further includes an atomizing device 8 , the atomizing device 8 is provided with a mist outlet channel, the housing 1 is provided with a mist outlet 92 , and the mist outlet channel is connected to the mist outlet 92 in the assembled state.

[0238] Through the above technical solution, the tower fan 100 of the present application also has a humidification function. After the user turns on the humidification function, the atomizing device 8 atomizes the water into water mist, which is discharged to the mist outlet 92 through the mist outlet channel, and finally discharged into the room through the mist outlet 92, thereby increasing the humidity of the indoor environment.
