[0087]In this embodiment, the neck fan further includes a second charging control module 921 electrically connected to the second circuit board 92, a second battery protection module 922, a second charging indication module 923, a second main control module 924 and a second boost module 925.
[0088]The second charging interface 1026 and the second charging control module 921 are both electrically connected to the second battery 91; the second charging indication module 913 is connected to the second charging control module 921; the second charging interface 1026 and the second charging control module 921 are configured to charge the second battery 91; the second charging indication module 923 is configured to display a state of charging; and the second battery protection module 922 is electrically connected to the second charging control module 921 and the second battery 91 to protect the second battery 91.
[0089]The second main control module 924, the first boost module 925, and a second motor 52 are all electrically connected to the second battery 91; the second switch 1025 and the second indication module 1027 are electrically connected to the second main control module 924; and the second indication module 1027 is configured to display turning on or turning off of the neck fan.
[0090]In this embodiment, the first main body portion 101 is provided with a first conductive end 1018; the second main body portion 102 is provided with a second conductive end 1019; when the first conductive end 1018 is communicated to the second conductive end 1019, the first switch 1015 is electrically connected to the first main control module 814 and the second main control module 924 respectively, and the second switch 1025 is electrically connected to the first main control module 814 and the second main control module 924 respectively; and the first switch 1015 or the second switch 1025 is configured to send a third fan working signal.
[0091]The first main control module 814 is configured to: receive the third fan working signal and drive the first boost module 815 to receive and boost the output voltage of the first battery 81, to drive the first motor 32 to work; and the second main control module 924 is configured to: receive the third fan working signal and drive the second boost module 925 to receive and boost the output voltage of the second battery 91, to drive the second motor 52 to work.
[0092]It can be understood that, referring to
[0093]It can be understood that when the connector J1 of the first conductive end 1018 of the first main body portion 101 is not connected to the connector J1 of the second conductive end 1019 of the second main body portion 102, that is, when the first main body portion 101 and the second main body portion 102 are independent of each other, the first switch 1015 and the second switch 1025 can independently control the operation of the two fan assemblies respectively, and they do not affect each other.
[0094]In addition, in some other embodiments, through preset program control, which one of the first switch 1015 and the second switch 1025 dominates the control of the two fan assemblies can be determined according to the need. Specifically, in another embodiment, only when one of the first switch 1015 and the second switch 1025 (such as the first switch) is operated by the user, will the third fan working signal be sent out to make the first motor 32 and the second motor 52 work simultaneously.
[0095]Specifically, referring to
[0096]Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first switch 1015 or the second switch 1025 is configured for user operation, such as being pressed, touched, slid, or rolled, or any combination thereof. As shown in
[0097]Specifically, in one embodiment, after the neck fan enters the power-on state, the first main control module 814 can control an internal counting unit or an externally electrically connected counting unit to count signals emitted by the operation switch S1. When a current count is less than a preset number N (which can be set according to actual needs, e.g., set to 6), the first main control module 814 controls a rotational speed of the fan assembly of the first fan body (or both the first fan body and the second fan body) to increase by one gear based on the signals from the operation switch S1. When the current count equals the preset number N, the first main control module 814 controls the rotational speed of the fan assembly of the first fan body (or both the first fan body and the second fan body) to reset to a minimum gear based on the signals from the operation switch S1.
[0098]In another embodiment, when the neck fan enters the power-on state and receives a signal from the operation switch S1, the first main control module 814 can first determine, through an internal judgment unit or an externally electrically connected judgment unit, whether the current gear of the first fan body (or both the first fan body and the second fan body) is the maximum gear (i.e., whether the rotational speed of the fan assembly is at the maximum). If the current gear is the maximum, the first main control module 814 controls the current gear of the first fan body (or both the first fan body and the second fan body) to switch to the minimum gear (i.e., the rotational speed of the fan components assembly to the minimum). If the current gear is not the maximum, the first main control module 814 controls the current gear of the first fan body (or both the first fan body and the second fan body) to increase by one gear, thereby increasing the rotational speed of the fan assembly by one gear.
[0099]In aforementioned embodiments, the rotational speed gears of the fan assembly of the first fan body and the second fan body can be multiple, specifically, for example, six gears.
[0100]It is understandable that when the first fan body and the second fan body are not electrically connected, they have the same structure and can operate independently. When the first fan body and the second fan body are electrically connected as a single unit, operating one of the first switch 1015 and the second switch 1025 (e.g., the first switch) by the user will emit a third fan operation signal, causing both the first motor 32 and the second motor 52 to operate simultaneously.
[0101]In this embodiment, the first main body portion 101 and the second main body portion 102 can be regarded as two independent fans electrically connected to each other to form the neck fan. The circuit diagrams of various circuit modules included in the two independent fans are the same.
[0102]Through the above structure, the first main body portion 101 and the second main body portion 102 are combined and spliced to form the complete U-shaped neck fan. At this time, the first conductive end 1018 is in conductive connection with the second conductive end 1019. When the user presses the first switch 1015 or the second switch 1025, the third fan working signal can be sent. At this time, after receiving the third fan working signal, the first main control module 814 drives the first boost module 815 to receive and boost the output voltage of the first battery 81, thereby driving the first motor 32 to work. The rotation of the first motor 32 can drive a first fan blade 33 to rotate, achieving the air blowing effect of the first fan assembly. After receiving the third fan working signal, the second main control module 924 drives the second boost module 925 to receive and boost the output voltage of the second battery 91, thereby driving the second motor 52 to operate. The rotation of the second motor 52 can drive a second fan blade 53 to rotate, achieving the air blowing effect of the second fan assembly.
[0103]It can be understood, the first main control module 814 of

Embodiment III
[0113]Referring to
[0114]The neck fan includes a hanging main body 1. The hanging main body 1 includes a first main body portion 101, a second main body portion 102, a connection member 103 connecting the first main body portion 101 and the second main body portion 102, a first fan assembly 3 arranged at one end of the first main body portion 101 away from the connection member 103, and a second fan assembly 5 arranged at one end of the second main body portion 102 away from the connection member 103.
[0115]The connection member 103 is detachably connected to both the first main body portion 101 and the second main body portion 102; the first main body portion 101 is detachably connected to the first fan assembly 3; and the second main body portion 102 is detachably connected to the second fan assembly 5. Thus, all five portions of the neck fan are detachably connected, forming a modular design. This not only facilitates assembly but also reduces the costs of assembly and maintenance. Furthermore, users can disassemble, assemble, store by themselves and conduct DIY designs and so on, thereby improving the user experience.
[0116]The first main body portion 101 has an arc-shaped structure, and includes a concave first air guide path 12 positioned on a surface of one side of the first main body portion 101 and extended along an extending direction of the arc-shaped structure. Moreover, the first fan assembly 3 is arranged at one end of the first main body portion 101 and is configured to blow air towards the first air guide path 12. The first air guide path is configured to guide air of the first fan assembly 3 to one side of the first main body portion 101 (one side of the user's neck) and one end of the first main body portion 101 away from the first fan assembly 3 (such as the back of the user's neck).
[0117]The second main body portion 102 has an arc-shaped structure, and includes a concave second air guide path 13 positioned on a surface of one side of the second main body portion 102 and extended along an extending direction of the arc-shaped structure. Moreover, the second fan assembly 5 is arranged at one end of the second main body portion 102 and is configured to blow air towards the second air guide path 13. The second air guide path is configured to guide air of the second fan assembly 5 to one side of the second main body portion 102 (the other side of the user's neck) and one end of the second main body portion 102 away from the second fan assembly 5 (such as the back of the user's neck).
[0118]Furthermore, the first main body portion 101 and the first fan assembly 3 can also be assembled into one to form a first fan main body, and the second main body portion 102 and the second fan assembly 5 can also be assembled into one to form a second fan main body. Thus, a neck fan can be disassembled into two fan main bodies for use according to users' needs. It can be understood that when used as a neck fan, one fan main body and the other fan main body are respectively arranged on both sides of the user's neck. Moreover, the fact that a neck fan can be disassembled into two fan main bodies for use according to users' needs can enrich usage scenarios, facilitate storage and improve the user experience.
[0119]The first fan assembly 3 includes a straight-tube-shaped first fan shell 31, and the first fan shell 31 is detachably connected to the hanging main body 1 and is located within a first accommodating chamber 15, and the first fan shell 31 is provided with a third air inlet 311 and a third air outlet 313.
[0120]Through the above structure, due to the straight-tube shape of the first fan shell 31, the neck fan is formed into a vertical blowing type fan capable of blowing air in a vertical direction. The first fan assembly 3 can drive the air flow to be blown from the third air inlet 311 towards the user's neck via the third air outlet 313 along the first air guide path 12, greatly improving the air-blowing efficiency. The user can directly feel the cool air blown to the neck when using the neck fan, thereby improving the overall performance of the fan. Furthermore, the first fan shell 31 is detachably connected to the hanging main body 1, so that separate mold—opening, machining, and assembling can be achieved during production. The production efficiency is improved, the production cost is reduced. Moreover, it is also convenient for storage and transportation, and the portability of the product is improved.
[0121]In this embodiment, a plurality of connection buckle slots 151 are provided in an inner side of the first main body portion 101 of the hanging main body 1 adjacent to the first accommodating chamber 15; a plurality of connection buckles 315 matched and clamped with the connection buckle slots 151 are arranged on an outer wall of the first fan shell 31; and the first fan shell 31 is in detachably buckled connection to the hanging main body 1. Specifically, the connection buckle slots 151 are symmetrically distributed on an inner side of the hanging main body 1. There are six groups of connection buckle slots 151. Each group includes two connection buckle slots 151. The connection buckles 315 are symmetrically located on the outer wall of the first fan shell 31. There are six groups of connection buckles 315, and each group includes two connection buckles 315. Through the above structure, users can manually install or remove the first fan shell 31 from the hanging main body 1. The six-group buckle-matching structure ensures the firmness of the splicing, preventing the first fan shell from detaching during the wearing and use process, and improving the safety and convenience of the neck fan.
[0122]In this embodiment, the first main body portion 101 of the hanging main body 1 is detachably connected with a first outer cover 16 on an outer side away from the first accommodating chamber 15. As in Embodiment I, the first main body portion 101 of the hanging main body 1 is provided with a first mounting chamber 1014, and the first power supply assembly 8 is located inside the first mounting chamber 1014. The first mounting chamber 1014 has an opening, and the first outer cover 16 is detachably covered at the opening.
[0123]In this embodiment, the first fan assembly 3 also includes a first motor 32 and a first fan blade 33 mounted on an output shaft of the first motor 32.
[0124]The first fan shell 31 can include a shell main body 31a, an air inlet cover 31b, a metal grille 3111 and an air outlet hood 31c.
[0125]The first fan blade 33 and the first motor 32 are arranged within the shell main body 31a. Specifically, the shell main body includes a cylindrical sidewall structure 310a, a mounting part 310b positioned at one end inside the sidewall structure 310a and an air guiding part 310c connected between the mounting part 310b and the sidewall structure 310a. The first fan blade 33 and the first motor 32 are arranged within the sidewall structure 310a, on one side of the mounting part 310b, and the first motor 32 is mounted on the mounting part 310b.
[0126]The air guiding part 310c includes a plurality of air guiding blades 310d arranged at intervals and is configured to guide wind from the first fan blade 33 based on a preset direction. Specifically, the thickness of each air guiding blade 310d can gradually increase along a direction from the first fan blade 33 to the third air outlet 313, thus achieving a better air guiding effect. The air inlet cover 31b can be annular, and the air inlet cover 31b is sleeved on one end of the shell main body 31a. Specifically, an outer side surface of one end of the shell main body 31a can be provided with a stepped groove 31f, and the air inlet cover 31b is sleeved on the stepped groove 31f. After mounting, the outer side surface of the air inlet cover 31b is flush with the outer side surface of the shell main body 31a. The metal grille 3111 is mounted on the inner side of the air inlet cover 31b.
[0127]The metal grille 3111 is provided with the third air inlet 311. The third air inlet 311 includes a plurality of air inlet holes. Each air inlet hole 311a can be circular, and the diameters of the plurality of air inlet holes 311a can be the same. Each air inlet hole 311a can have a diameter ranging from 0.5 mm to 4 mm. Such a size can prevent hair or debris from being sucked into the interior of the first fan assembly 3. It can be understood that the metal grille 3111 is relatively thin and lightweight. This is conducive to the miniaturization and light weighting of the product. In addition, since it is made of metal material, the size of the air inlet holes of the metal grille 3111 can be arranged to be relatively small, thereby effectively preventing foreign objects from entering the first fan assembly 3.
[0128]The third air outlet 313 includes a plurality of air outlet holes 3130 arranged on the air outlet hood 31c. Specifically, the air outlet hood 31c includes an annular wall structure 31g, a mounting structure 31h and a plurality of air guiding plates 3131. The plurality of air guiding plates 3131 are connected between the annular wall structure 31g and the mounting structure 31h. Moreover, the plurality of air outlet holes 3130 are defined as the spaces between the plurality of air guiding plates 3131.
[0129]The inner side surface of the annular wall structure 31g is an inclined surface or an arc-shaped surface, so that an inner diameter of the annular wall structure 31g gradually decreases along a direction from the third air inlet 311 to the third air outlet 313. Thus, the blowing wind has a pressurizing effect and the outlet wind intensity is improved. The mounting structure 31h includes an annular mounting wall 31i, a cover plate 31j connected to the annular mounting wall 31i and a mounting column 31k connected to an inner side of the cover plate 31j, and the mounting column 31k is connected to the mounting part 310b. Specifically, the mounting column 31k can be detachably inserted into a mounting hole of the mounting part 310b, so that a detachable connection is formed between the air outlet hood 31c and the shell main body 31a. Moreover, the cover plate 31j is circular and is positioned in the middle of the plurality of air outlet holes 3130, and a groove is arranged on an outer surface of the cover plate 31j for converging the outlet air.
[0130]The mounting structure 31h is further provided with a first alignment structure 31m, while the mounting part 310b has a second alignment structure 31n. The first alignment structure 31m and the second alignment structure 31n cooperate to achieve precise alignment and assembly of the shell main body 31a and the air outlet hood 31c. The number of both the first alignment structure 31m and the second alignment structure 31n can be one, two, or multiple. Specifically, one of the first alignment structure 31m and the second alignment structure 31n can be an alignment hole, and the other can be an alignment post that fits into the alignment hole.
[0131]The metal grille 3111 can prevent hair or debris from being sucked into the first fan shell, thereby avoiding damage to the fan assembly and reducing the fan's blowing wind force. The air guiding plates 3131 can gather the air blown towards the neck, thereby improving the blowing performance.
[0132]The first main body portion 101 further includes at least one air guiding vane 101h, and at least one air guiding vane 101h is arranged within the first air guide path 12 adjacent to the first fan assembly 3, and is configured to guide the wind from the first fan assembly 3.
[0133]In this embodiment, the number of air guiding vanes 101h is two. The two air guiding vanes 101h are respectively arranged on two sides of the first air guide path 12. Moreover, a distance between the two air guiding vanes 101h gradually increases along an air outlet direction of the first air guide path 12.
[0134]In this embodiment, a first conductive through hole 152 is provided in an inner side of the hanging main body adjacent to the first accommodating chamber 15. The first conductive through hole 152 is configured to allow a wire of the first fan assembly 3 to pass through to be communicated with a first power supply assembly 8. Moreover, the mounting part 310b can be provided with an opening 310e. The wire connected to the motor can pass through the opening 310e and then be connected to the first power supply assembly 8 via the first conductive through hole 152.
[0135]Through the above structure, when the neck fan needs to be assembled, the first outer cover 16 is first opened, and then the wire of the first fan assembly 3 is communicated with the first power supply assembly 8 in the first mounting chamber 1014 through the first conductive through hole 152. Then, the first outer cover 16 is closed. After the wire of the first fan assembly 3 is connected, the first fan shell 31 is assembled with the hanging main body 1 through the buckling between the connection buckles 315 and the connecting buckle slots 151, and finally a vertical blowing type neck fan that is conductive with the hanging main body 1 and easy to mount is obtained.
[0136]In this embodiment, a second accommodating chamber 17 is further inwards sunken in one side, opposite to the first accommodating chamber 15, of the lower end portion of the second main body portion 102 of the hanging main body. The neck fan further includes a second fan assembly 5. The second fan assembly 5 includes a straight-tube-shaped second fan shell 51. The second fan shell 51 is detachably connected to the hanging main body and is located in the second accommodating chamber 17. The second fan shell 51 is provided with a fourth air inlet 511 and a fourth air outlet 513. The second fan assembly 5 is configured to drive an air flow to be blown from the fourth air inlet 511 towards the inner end portion via the fourth air outlet 513. Through the above structure, similarly, due to the straight-tube shape of the second fan shell 51, the neck fan is formed into a vertical blowing type fan capable of blowing air in a vertical direction. The second fan assembly 5 can drive the air flow to be blown from the fourth air inlet 511 towards the inner end portion 11 via the fourth air outlet 513, greatly improving the air-blowing efficiency. A user can directly feel the cool air blown to the neck when using the neck fan, thereby improving the overall performance of the fan. Furthermore, the second fan shell 51 is detachably connected and assembled with the hanging main body 1, so that separate mold-opening, machining, and assembling can be achieved during production. The production efficiency is improved, the production cost is reduced, it is also convenient for storage and transportation, and the portability of the product is improved.
[0137]In this embodiment, a plurality of connection buckle slots 151 are provided in an inner side of the second main body portion 102 of the hanging main body adjacent to the second accommodating chamber 17; the plurality of connection buckles 315 matched and clamped with the connection buckle slots 151 are arranged on an outer wall of the second fan shell 51; and the second fan shell 51 is in detachably buckled connection to the hanging main body 1. Specifically, the connection buckle slots 151 are symmetrically distributed on an inner side of the second main body portion 102 of the hanging main body. There are six groups of connection buckle slots 151. Each group includes two connection buckle slots 151. The connection buckles 315 are symmetrically located on the outer wall of the second fan shell 51. There are six groups of connection buckles 315, and each group includes two connection buckles 315.
[0138]In this embodiment, a second outer cover 18 is detachably connected to the second main body portion 102 of the hanging main body on an outer side away from the second accommodating chamber 17. As in Embodiment I, the second main body portion 102 of the hanging main body 1 is provided with a second mounting chamber 1024, and the second power supply assembly 9 is located inside the second mounting chamber 1024. The second mounting chamber 1024 has an opening, and the second outer cover 18 is detachably covered at the opening.
[0139]Further, the specific structure of the second fan assembly 5 can be identical to the first fan assembly 3. The second fan assembly 5 further includes a second motor 52 and a second fan blade 53 mounted on an output shaft of the second motor. The second fan shell 51 can be structurally similar to the first fan shell 31. For example, it can include a shell main body 31a, an air inlet cover 31b, a metal grille 3111 and an air outlet hood 31c. The fourth air inlet 511 can also include a plurality of air inlet holes 311a arranged on the metal grille 3111 of the second fan shell 51. The fourth air outlet can also include a plurality of air outlet holes 3130 arranged on the air outlet hood 31c of the second fan shell 51. The specific structure of the second main body portion 102 can be the same as that of the first main body portion 101, and the second main body portion 102 and the first main body portion 101 can be arranged symmetrically. The second fan assembly 5 and the first fan assembly 3 can also be arranged symmetrically. Therefore, the specific structures of the second fan shell 51 and the second main body portion 102 will not be introduced repeatedly here.
[0140]In this embodiment, a second conductive through hole 171 is provided in an inner side of the hanging main body adjacent to the second accommodating chamber 17. The second conductive through hole 171 allows a wire of the second fan assembly 5 to pass through to be communicated with the second power supply assembly 9.
[0141]Through the above structure, after the assembling of the first fan shell 31 is completed, the second fan shell 51 is installed in the same manner. The second outer cover 18 is first opened, and then the wire of the second fan assembly 5 is communicated with the second power supply assembly 9 in the second mounting chamber 1024 through the second conductive through hole 171. Then, the second outer cover 18 is closed. After the wire of the second fan assembly 5 is connected, the second fan shell 51 is assembled with the hanging main body 1 through the buckling between the connection buckles 315 and the connecting buckle slots 151, and finally a vertical blowing type neck fan that is conductive with the hanging main body 1 and easy to mount is obtained.
[0142]It can be understood that the inner sides of the first outer cover 16 and the second outer cover 18 are provided with at least one first snap-fit member 160, and the outer sides of the first main body portion 101 and the second main body portion 102 are provided with at least one second snap-fit member 1010. The first snap-fit member 160 and the second snap-fit member 1010 are snap-fitted to enable the assembly of the first outer cover 16 and the first main body portion 101 as well as the assembly of the second outer cover 18 and the second main body portion 102. Specifically, the number of the first snap-fit member 160 and the second snap-fit member 1010 can be multiple, such as 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d and 101a, 101b, 101c, 101d. Moreover, the structures of the multiple first snap-fit members 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d can be different, and the multiple second snap-fit members 101a, 101b, 101c, 101d are of the structures that match and cooperate with the multiple first snap-fit members.
[0143]It can be understood that both the first fan assembly 3 and the second fan assembly 5 are vertical blowing type fan assemblies with the air inlet and the air outlet on the same axis. In the first fan assembly 3, the air inlet cover 31b, the first fan blade 33, the first motor 32, the shell main body 31a and the air outlet hood 31c are all arranged in a straight line. In the second fan assembly 5, the air inlet cover 31b, the second fan blade 53, the second motor 52, the shell main body 31a and the air outlet hood 31c are all arranged in a straight line. In this way, the first fan assembly 3 and the second fan assembly 5 can generate relatively strong wind and achieve a better air outlet effect.
[0144]Furthermore, according to Embodiment I and Embodiment II, it can be seen that the portable fan and the other portable fan can be respectively provided with corresponding and independent switches 1015 and 1025, so that the turning on and off of the portable fan and the other portable fan can be independently controlled by the corresponding switches 1015 and 1025.
[0145]Furthermore, referring to
Embodiment IV
[0146]Referring to
[0147]Specifically, in the fan assembly 2′, the mounting part 252″ includes a mounting plate 2521″ and a mounting post 2522″ that is connected to the mounting plate 2521″ and extends toward the grille 27″. A blind hole 254″ is provided on the mounting post 2522″. The motor 21″ has a motor mounting hole 210″. The motor mounting hole 210″ is sleeved on the mounting post 2522 to mount the motor 21″ onto the mounting post 2522″. An opening of the blind hole 254″ faces a side where the motor 21″ is located, and the blind hole 254″ is configured to store lubricating oil required for rotation of the output shaft of the motor 21″.
[0148]The blind hole 254″ is further provided with a fixed post 212″ having a through-hole 211″ and a retaining ring 213″. The output shaft 23″ comprises a main body 231″ connected to the fan blades 22″ and a retaining portion 232″ connected to the main body 231″. The main body 231″ of the output shaft 23″ sequentially passes through the fixed post 212″ and the retaining ring 213″, positioning the retaining portion 232″ at an end of the retaining ring 213″ that is away from the fixed post 212″. The retaining portion 232″ includes a rod portion 2321″ and a retaining end 2322″ connected to an end of the rod portion 2321″ that is away from the fan blades 22″. A diameter of the retaining end 2322″ gradually decreases in the direction away from the fan blade 22″. An outer surface of the rod portion 2321″, along with the retaining end 2322″ and the main body 231″, forms a retaining groove 2323″. The retaining ring 213″ has a retaining hole 2130″. A diameter of the retaining hole 2130″ is larger than that of the rod portion 2321″ but smaller than that of the main body 231″ and the retaining end 2322″, thereby retaining the retaining ring 213″ in the retaining groove 2323″.
[0149]The fixed post 212″ can be a copper post, and the retaining ring 213″ may be an elastic spring piece capable of stretching and compressing along the extension direction of the output shaft 23, such as a torsion spring or a snap spring.
[0150]It can be understood that, through aforementioned structural arrangement, the retaining ring 213″ is retained in the retaining groove 2323″, and the output shaft 23″ drives the fan blades 22″ to move within the length range of the retaining groove 2323″ along the extension direction of the output shaft 23″. Specifically, the output shaft 23″ and the fan blades 22″ have a first retaining position as shown in
Embodiments V and VI
[0151]As shown in
[0152]Specifically, the neck fan 1′ includes a first fan main body 11′ and a second fan main body 12′ configured to be placed respectively on two opposite sides of the human neck.
[0153]Both the first fan main body 11′ and the second fan main body 12′ include an outer casing 13′ and a fan blade assembly 21′.
[0154]The outer casing 13′ serves as a housing for both the first fan main body 11′ and the second fan main body 12′. No specific material is specified for the outer casing 13′; designers can make reasonable choices based on actual needs. For instance, the material of the outer casing 13′ may include, but is not limited to, plastics (such as ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene), PC (Polycarbonate), or PP (Polypropylene)), silicone (such as food-grade or skin-friendly silicone), or metals (such as stainless steel or magnesium alloy).
[0155]The outer casing 13′ includes an inner surface 131′ and an outer surface 132′.
[0156]The inner surface 131′ is a surface of the outer casing 13′ that is adjacent to the human neck. The inner surface 131′ includes a first portion 1311′ and a second portion 1312′. The first portion 1311′ is located at one end of the inner surface 131′. One side of the second portion 1312′ is connected to the first portion 1311′ and the other side of the second portion 1312′ is connected to a junction of the first fan main body 11′ and the second fan main body 12′. In other words, the first portion 1311′ is farther from the back of the human neck than the second portion 1312′.
[0157]The outer surface 132′ is the surface of the outer casing 13′ that is away from the human neck, positioned opposite to the inner surface 131′.
[0158]At least one of the first portion 1311′ and the outer surface 132′ is provided with an air inlet 133′. For example, it could be only the first portion 1311′ with an air inlet 133′, only the outer surface 132′ with an air inlet 133′, or both the first portion 1311′ and the outer surface 132′ are provided with the air inlets 133′.
[0159]The second portion 1312′ is recessed toward the outer surface 132′ to form an external air duct 134′ (which has a basically identical structural with the first and second air guide paths in Embodiments 1 to 3). An air outlet 135′ is provided at an end of the external air duct 134′ that is adjacent to the first portion 1311′.
[0160]As shown in
[0161]In this embodiment, the fan blade assembly 21′ includes a turbine fan blade 211′. A fan shaft of the turbine fan blade 211′ is oriented from the inner surface 131′ to the outer surface 132′. The turbine fan blade 211′ draws in air axially and expels it radially.
[0162]The turbine fan blade 211′ is configured to direct the air from the air inlet 133′ to the air outlet 135′. The air at the air outlet 135′ is then blown toward the human neck via the external air duct 134′. It can be understood that the side of the outer casing 13′ where the air inlet 133′ is located serves as the air intake side for the turbine fan blade 211′, while the side where the air outlet 135′ is located serves as the air exhaust side. When the turbine fan blade 211′ rotates, it propels air flow, creating a pressure differential. A low-pressure zone is formed on the air intake side, drawing in air from the air inlet 133′, while a high-pressure zone is formed on the air exhaust side, pushing air out through the air outlet 135′. This generates a continuous airflow. The external air duct 134′ guides the air flowing out from the air outlet 135′ toward the human neck, thereby cooling the human neck.
[0163]The fan blade assembly 21′ further includes a pressurization casing 212′. The turbine fan blade 211′ is placed inside the pressurization casing 212′. The pressurization casing 212′ has an inlet 212a′ corresponding to the air inlet 133′ and an outlet 212b′ corresponding to the air outlet 135′. By configuring the pressurization casing 212′, the pressurization casing 212′ converges the air flowing out radially from the turbine fan blade 211′, directing it to the outlet 212b′ of the pressurization casing 212′ and then to the external air duct 134′ through the air outlet 135′. Please referring to
[0164]Based on the neck fan 1′ in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by configuring the external air duct 134′ on the second portion 1312′ of the inner surface 131′ of the outer casing 13′ of both the first fan main body 11′ and the second fan main body 12′, the external air duct 134′ is placed outside the outer casing 13′. Consequently, the interior of the outer casing 13′ only needs to accommodate core components such as the turbine fan blade 211′, the motor, and the battery, eliminating the need for a complex air duct cavity. This significantly frees up the internal space of the outer casing 13′, allowing it to be made thinner and lighter, which is conducive to achieving a lightweight design for the neck fan 1′.
[0165]As illustrated in
[0166]As shown in
[0167]The outer surface 132′ includes a main surface 1321′ and a side surface 1322′. The side surface 1322′ is connected to a periphery of the main surface 1321′ and positioned between the main surface 1321′ and the inner surface 131′. The axial direction of the turbine fan blade 211′ is from the first portion 1311′ to the main surface 1321′. At least one of the first portion 1311′ and the main surface 1321′ is provided with the aforementioned air inlet 133′. The distance from the first portion 1311′ to the main surface 1321′ is less than the width of the first portion 1311′. The sidewall where a portion of the main surface 1321′ corresponding to the first portion 1311′ is located, the sidewall where the side surface 1322′ is located, and the sidewall where the first portion 1311′ locates collectively form a cavity for housing the turbine fan blade 211′. Considering the axial air intake and radial air exhaust characteristics of the turbine fan blade 211′, configuring the distance from the first portion 1311′ to the main surface 1321′ to be less than the width of the first portion 1311′ can effectively reduce the thickness of the outer casing 13′ at the location of the turbine fan blade 211′, achieving a lightweight design.
[0168]As shown in
[0169]Of course, in other embodiments, if the air inlet 133′ is solely located on the first portion 1311′ or solely on the corresponding portion of the main surface 1321′, the turbine fan blade 211′ would be a single-suction turbine fan blade 211′. In this case, the fan blade assembly 21′ still includes a motor, which is positioned on the side of the turbine fan blade 211′ opposite to the air inlet 133′. The motor's output shaft is connected to the fan shaft of the turbine fan blade 211′, driving its rotation. The side of the turbine fan blade 211′ facing the air inlet 133′ acts as the air intake side, drawing in air from the air inlet 133′. The air is then expelled radially and ultimately pushed out through the air outlet 135′ to create a continuous airflow.
[0170]As shown in
[0171]As shown in
[0172]The inner side panel 13a′ and the outer casing main body 13b′ are respectively integrally formed and then detachably connected as a whole. The inner side panel 13a′ can be integrally formed through, but not limited to, injection molding or 3D printing. Similarly, the outer casing main body 13b′ can also be integrally formed through, but not limited to, injection molding or 3D printing. The specific detachable connection method between the inner side panel 13a′ and the outer casing main body 13b′ is not limited here, and designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. For example, the inner side panel 13a′ can be fixedly connected to the outer casing main body 13b′ through at least one of methods such as screw connections, snap connections, or plug connections. The design of separately integrally forming the inner side panel 13a′ and the outer casing main body 13b′ is beneficial for reducing the processing difficulty of both. The detachable connection between the inner side panel 13a′ and the outer casing main body 13b′ facilitates replacement of damaged components such as the turbine fan blade 211′ in later stages.
[0173]As shown in
[0174]Certainly, the neck fan 1′ further includes a trigger 50′ disposed on the outer casing 13′ and electrically connected to the circuit board. As shown in
