[0095]The first embodiment, as shown in
[0096]Referring to
[0097]As shown in
[0098]In this embodiment, the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 are connected by means of a snap fit. However, the method of connecting the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 are also capable of being connected by (not limited to): gluing, lapping, or heat-pressing fusion. The wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 can be separate or integrated.
[0099]Referring to
[0100]As shown in
[0101]When the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 are externally sheathed with the flexible housing 15, the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 are capable of being connected in a lap joint.
[0102]A plurality of bulge loops 151 are formed by projections on the outer surface of the flexible housing 15. The plurality of bulge loops 151 are spaced apart along the vertical length of the flexible housing 15. For example, the flexible housing 15 is provided with three bulge loops 151 located at two ends and a middle position of the flexible housing 15. However, the number and arrangement of the bulge loops 151 on the flexible housing 15 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the number of bulge loops 151 on the flexible housing 15 is capable of being (not limited to): two, four, five, six, or more. The arrangement between the bulge loops 151 can be (not limited to): spaced apart, equally spaced apart, centrally arranged, and the like. The setting of the bulge loops 151 can reduce the contact area between the fan module 1 and the fan housing, improve the assembly efficiency of the fan module 1 and the fan housing, and, at the same time, enable the bulge loops 151 to have a larger deformation space, and be able to adapt to a larger range of fan housing sizes.
[0103]In some embodiments, a plurality of bulge points 152 are formed raised on the exterior surface of the flexible housing 15, the plurality of bulge points 152 being evenly spaced on the exterior surface of the flexible housing 15. The provision of the bulge points 152 can reduce the contact area between the fan module 1 and the fan housing, improve the assembly efficiency of the fan module 1 and the fan housing, and, at the same time, enable the bulge points 152 to have a larger deformation space, and be able to adapt to a wider range of fan housing sizes.
[0104]In some embodiments, a plurality of bulge loops 151 and a plurality of bulge points 152 are formed projectively on an exterior surface of the flexible housing 15, and a plurality of bulge points 152 are arranged between two adjacent bulge loops 151. Wherein a number of the bulge points 152 is much larger than the number of the bulge loops 151, and the vertices of the bulge points 152 are flush with the exterior surface of the bulge loops 151. The combined configuration of the bulge loops 151 and the bulge points 152 results in a larger contact area between the flexible housing 15 and the fan housing 20 and a more stable connection than a structure in which the bulge loops 151 or the bulge points 152 are provided separately. The spacing between the bulge loops 151 and the bulge points 152 provides greater deformation space for each, allowing them to accommodate a wider range of fan housing sizes.
[0105]In some embodiments, the housing of the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 external set can be: a metal housing or a rigid plastic housing.
[0106]Referring to
[0107]As shown in
[0108]In some embodiments, a plurality of stiffeners 115 are provided on the outer surfaces of the first enclosure 113 and the second enclosure 114. Each of the stiffener 115 is coupled to the first enclosure 113, the necking ring 112, and the second enclosure 114. The number of stiffener 115 is two. However, the number of stiffener 115 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the number of stiffener 115 is capable of being (not limited to): three, four, five, or more.
[0109]The first enclosure 113, the necking ring 112 and the second enclosure 114 connection are capable of being manufactured in one piece or separately manufactured and then spliced and then assembled.
[0110]Referring to
[0111]As shown in
[0112]In the present embodiment, the hub 141 is constructed to be tapered. The tapered hub 141 increases the gap between the hub 141 and the inner edge surface of the first enclosure 113, which in turn enables a greater area of the fan blades 142 and enhances the air output efficiency of the fan module 1. However, the construction of the hub 141 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenarios, in some embodiments, the hub 141 can be constructed as: hemispherical, cylindrical, or prismatic, and the like.
[0113]Each of the plurality of fan blades 142 extends curved along the tapered surface of the hub 141 from the direction of the air inlet 111 toward the air outlet 101, and the plurality of fan blades 142 are curved in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the fan blade assembly 14. Each fan blade 142 of the plurality of fan blades 142 comprises: a first end portion 1421 adjacent to the air outlet 101 and a second end portion 1422 corresponding to the first end portion 1421, with a width of the first end portion 1421 being greater than a width of the second end portion 1422. This construction of the fan blades 142 enables the first end portion 1421 to have a larger contact area with the airflow when cutting the air, providing stronger binding force on the airflow, and pushing more airflow into the fan blade airway formed by the two adjacent fan blades 142. In the process of the airflow flowing from the first end portion 1421 to the second end portion 1422, the width of the fan blades 142 gradually decreases, and the binding capacity of the fan blades 142 on the airflow gradually decreases, releasing part of the energy of the airflow, reducing the kinetic energy of the collision of the airflow out of the fan blade with the second enclosure 114 and the air duct 10, reducing the loss of energy of the airflow, and improving the efficiency of the airflow.
[0114]The blade pitch between two adjacent fan blades 142 of the plurality of fan blades 142 gradually increases along the direction of the air inlet 111 towards the air outlet 101. The spacing of the fan blades 142 between adjacent fan blades 142 along the direction of the airflow flow is increasing, which can gradually release the energy of the airflow during the airflow flow, reduce the kinetic energy of the collision of the airflow outflow fan blades with the second enclosure 114 and the air guide shell 104, reduce the loss of energy of the airflow, and increase the efficiency of the airflow.
[0115]The hub 141 and the plurality of fan blades 142 are disposed within the wind guide cover 11, one end of the connecting ring 143 socketed to the motor assembly 13 extends into the air duct 10, and the end of the connecting ring 143 connecting the hub 141 is disposed within the wind guide cover 11. Specifically, the hub 141 and the plurality of fan blades 142 are disposed within the first enclosure 113, the connecting ring 143 is partially structured to extend into the air duct 10, and the other end of the connecting ring 143 is connected to a bottom surface of the hub 141.
[0116]The hub 141 has a clearance between the bottom surface of the hub 141 and a position corresponding to the air duct 10 to facilitate rotation of the fan blade assembly 14.
[0117]In this embodiment, the number of fan blades 142 is: five. However, the number of fan blades 142 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the number of fan blades 142 is capable of being (not limited to): two, three, four, six, or more.
[0118]Referring to
[0119]The air duct 10 comprises: a air guide shell 104, a storage cylinder 102 and a plurality of air guide plates 103, the storage cylinder 102 is provided in the air guide shell 104, a plurality of air guide plates 103 are arranged in a circumferential surrounding row along the storage cylinder 102, and one end of the plurality of air guide plates 103 is connected to the inner surface of the air guide shell 104, the other end of the plurality of air guide plates 103 is connected to the storage cylinder 102, and the air guide shell 104 is connected to the wind guide cover 11. The air guide shell 104 is connected to the wind guide cover 11, the motor assembly 13 is connected to the storage cylinder 102, and the air guide shell 104, the storage cylinder 102, and the plurality of air guide plates 103 enclose to form the air outlet 101.
[0120]The air guide shell 104 is constructed in the shape of a tube, one end of the air guide shell 104 is connected to the second enclosure 114 of the wind guide cover 11, and the other end of the air guide shell 104 is provided with an air outlet 101. The air guide shell 104 is provided with a storage cylinder 102 inside the air guide shell 104, the storage cylinder 102 is provided in the centre of the air guide shell 104 in a vacant position, and a plurality of air guide plates 103 are connected to the air guide shell 104 and the storage cylinder 102 respectively. A gap is left between the air guide shell 104 and the storage cylinder 102 for airflow. The number of air guide plates 103 is specifically seven. However, the number of air guide plates 103 is not limited to this, and according to the specific application scenarios, in some embodiments, the number of air guide plates 103 can be two, three, four, five, six, eight or more. The air guide plates 103 divide the air outlet 101 into a plurality of curved fan channels 105.
[0121]The plurality of air guide plates 103 are curved at one end near the fan assembly 12, and the curvature direction of the curved end of the plurality of air guide plates 103 is opposite to the rotation direction of the fan assembly 12. The curvature direction of the air guide plate 103 is opposite to the rotational direction of the fan assembly 12, and when the fan assembly 12 rotates, it will drive the airflow to rotate in the same direction, at which time, the curvature direction of the air guide plate 103 is opposite to the direction of rotation of the airflow, and the airflow rotates with the curved part of the air guide plate 103 in contact with collision, and because of the opposite direction, the angle of the airflow in contact with the curved part of the air guide plate 103 is greater than 90 degrees, and the airflow is driven by the larger angle of contact with the air guide plate 103 can reduce the kinetic energy loss of the airflow in contact with the air guide plate 103. The larger angle allows the airflow to be guided significantly by the air guide plate 103 during contact with the air guide plate, the energy loss is small, and the efficiency of the wind is greatly improved.
[0122]The storage cylinder 102 is constructed in the shape of a column, and the surface of the storage cylinder 102 located on the side of the air outlet 101 is provided with a top cover 1022. The top cover 1022 can be manufactured and moulded integrally with the storage cylinder 102, or can be manufactured separately and then combined and connected. A storage cavity 1021 is provided on the side of the storage cylinder 102 connected to the motor assembly 13, and one end of the connecting ring 143 of the fan blade assembly 14 extends into the storage cylinder 102.
[0123]The hub 141 and the plurality of fan blades 142 are provided between the necking ring 112 and the storage cylinder 102. At this time, the hub 141 acts as a shield for the storage cylinder 102, which can avoid the airflow from the fan blades 142 to flow into the storage cylinder 102, resulting in unnecessary energy loss, and improve the efficiency of the air outlet. The necking ring 112 can reduce the airflow inside the fan module 1 for backflow, which can also further improve the air outlet efficiency.
[0124]In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of one end of the hub 141 connecting the connecting ring 143 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the storage cylinder 102. As the hub 141 acts as a shield between the storage cylinder 102 and the storage cavity 1021, when the cross-sectional area of the end of the hub 141 connecting to the connecting ring 143 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the storage cylinder 102, the hub 141 is able to minimize the extent to which the airflow flows through the fan blades 142 collides and contacts with the edges of the storage cylinder 102, and is also able to prevent the airflow from backing up and entering into the storage cavity 1021, in order to avoid unnecessary energy loss, and further improving the air outlet efficiency.

[0132]In some embodiments, the first shaft sleeve 164 and the second shaft sleeve 163 can be replaced with bearings.
[0133]In some embodiments, the motor assembly 13 further comprises: a motor casing 134, the motor casing 134 socketed to the magnetic ring 132, the connecting ring 143 socketed to the motor casing 134, and an end of the rotating shaft 133 connected to the fan blade assembly 14 penetrating the motor casing 134.

Connecting the wire 17 to the coil 131 by extending the wire 17 directly into the storage cavity 1021 through the thread hole 1023 can avoid the wire 17 from being routed from the outside of the storage cylinder 102, reduce the obstruction to the flowing airflow inside the fan module 1, and improve the efficiency of the air outlet. In this embodiment, the fan module 1 includes the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10, and part of the structure of the fan assembly 12 is set in the air duct 10, and the other part extends into the wind guide cover 11, and this layout structure enables the fan module 1 to have a higher space utilization rate, a more compact structure, and a more compact size. At the same time, the airflow channel of the fan module 1 comprising the wind guide cover 11 and the air duct 10 is able to guide the airflow entering therein, so that the airflow can flow from the air inlet 111 to the air outlet 101 more efficiently. And setting a part of the structure of the fan assembly 12 within the air duct 10 reduces the part of the fan assembly 12 that is directly exposed, which also reduces the contact area of the fan assembly 12 with the airflow, reducing obstruction of the airflow, improving the efficiency of the air outlet.

[0154]Specifically, each of the plurality of connecting plates 212 is formed with the air guide plate 213 facing the end of the fan blade assembly 24 in the fan assembly 25, and the air guide plate 213 is curved in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the fan blade assembly 24. In this embodiment, the curvature direction of the air guide plate 213 is opposite to the rotational direction of the fan blade assembly 24 means: the curvature direction of the air guide plate 213 is in the opposite direction of the rotational direction of the fan blade assembly 24 to each other, and it is not limited to the specific embodiment that the curvature direction of the wind guide plate 213 is in the direction of 180 degrees to the rotational direction of the fan blade assembly 24. In some embodiments, when the angle of curving of the air guide plate 213 is at an obtuse angle with the direction of rotation of the fan blade assembly 24, it is also within the scope of “opposite to the rotational direction” defined in this embodiment.
[0155]The curvature direction of the air guide plates 213 are opposite to the rotation direction of the fan blade assembly 24, when the fan blade assembly 24 rotates, it will drive the airflow to rotate in the same direction, at this time, the curvature direction of the air guide plates 213 are opposite to the direction of the rotation of the airflow, when the airflow is rotating, it is in contact and collision with the curved part of the air guide plates 213. Due to the direction of the opposite direction, then the airflow will have an angle of more than 90 degrees when it is in contact with the curved part of the air guide plates 213 and the airflow will flow by the larger angle of contact with the air guide plates 213 can reduce the kinetic energy loss of the airflow contacting the air guide plates 213. The larger angle allows the airflow to be guided significantly by the air guide plate 103 during contact with the air guide plate, the energy loss is small, and the efficiency of the wind is greatly improved.
[0156]In some embodiments, the air guide plates 213 are provided between the fan assembly 25 and the fan housing 20, and the air guide plates 213 are connected to an inner surface of the fan housing 20 with a gap between the air guide plates 213 and the fan assembly 25.
[0157]Specifically, the air guide plates 213 are provided between the motor assembly 23 and the fan housing 20, and the air guide plate 213 has a gap between the motor assembly 23.
[0158]In some embodiments, the air guide plates 213 are provided between the hub 241 of the fan assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, and the air guide plate 213 has a gap between the hub 241.
[0159]The air guide plates 213 are provided between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, and the air guide plate 213 has a gap between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24. The gap between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24 is such that after the airflow comes into contact with the air guide plate 213, part of the airflow flows to the air outlet along the guidance of the air guide plate 213, and the other part of the airflow flows to the next air guide plate 213 through the gap flow between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24. The gap between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24 provides a channel for the balance of air pressure between the air guide plates 213. This is to avoid the problem that the air pressure on both sides of the air guide plate 213 is inconsistent due to the complete closure of the air guide plate 213, which in turn affects the efficiency of the air output of the fan module 2.
[0160]The assembly base 22 is removably connected to the connecting piece 21 and the assembly base 22 is made of metal.
[0161]A plurality of first fixing holes 2115 are provided on the connecting piece 21, a plurality of second fixing holes 2211 are provided correspondingly on the assembly base 22, and the plurality of first fixing holes 2115 and the plurality of second fixing holes 2211 are connected by screws. The screw connection enables disassembly of the assembly base 22 and facilitates replacement and maintenance of the assembly base 22.
[0162]However, the means of detachable connection between the connecting piece 21 and the assembly base 22 is not limited to screwing. Depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the connecting piece 21 and the assembly base 22 are also capable of being connected to each other by means of a snap or lock connection.
[0163]The connecting piece 21 is provided with a positioning slot 2114, and the end of the assembly base 22 connected to the connecting piece 21 is provided in the positioning slot 2114.
[0164]The positioning slot 2114 is provided on the connecting inner ring 2112 of the connecting piece 21, and the provision of the positioning slot 2114 enables the base 221 in the assembly base 22 to be nested in the positioning slot 2114. This way facilitates the positioning alignment of the first fixing holes 2115 and the second fixing holes 2211 and optimizes the assembly process. Meanwhile, since the assembly base 22 needs to withstand the torque generated by the fan assembly 25 when the fan assembly 25 is rotating, and the magnitude of the torque is proportional to the rotational speed of the fan assembly 25. Therefore, when the generated torque is borne by the screws, the strength of the screws is required to be high, and at the same time, the service life of the screws will be affected. The setting of the positioning slot 2114, on the other hand, enables the assembly base 22 to be deflected and stopped by the positioning slot 2114, which is equivalent to sharing a part of the torque by the positioning slot 2114, and further greatly reduces the wear and tear on the screws and extends the service life of the fan module 2.
[0165]Specifically, the positioning slot 2114 is constructed as a rounded triangle, and the shape of the base 221 of the corresponding assembly base 22 is also constructed as a rounded triangle that cooperates with the positioning slot 2114, and the sides of the two adjacent rounded corners of the positioning slot 2114 are inwardly curved, and the sides of the two adjacent rounded corners of the corresponding assembly base 22 are also constructed as inwardly curved. The inner arc shape is constructed so that the sides of the positioning slot 2114 in contact with the assembly base 22 are arc-shaped, and when the fan assembly 25 rotates, the force of the assembly base 22 acting on the positioning slot 2114 is decomposed in different directions of the arc-shaped sides, instead of being concentrated in the same direction, which further reduces the force strength of the edges of the positioning slot 2114 and enhances the service life of the fan assembly 25.
[0166]In some embodiments, the shape of the positioning slot 2114 and the corresponding shape of the assembly base 22 are not limited, and depending on the specific application scenario, the shape of the positioning slot 2114 can be (not limited to): a running field shape, a polygon, an oval, and other shapes that can have a limiting effect on the same shaped embedded object. Similarly, the shape of the base 221 of the assembly base 22 can be changed according to the change in the shape of the positioning slot 2114.
[0167]In the present embodiment, the number of the first fixing holes 2115 is three, and the corresponding number of the second fixing holes 2211 is also capable of being three. The first fixing holes 2115 are respectively provided at rounded corner positions of the rounded triangle, and the second fixing holes 2211 are respectively provided at rounded corner positions of the rounded triangle of the base 221. However, the number of the first fixing holes 2115 and the number of the second fixing holes 2211 are not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenarios, in some embodiments, the number of the first fixing holes 2115 and the number of the second fixing holes 2211 are (not limited to): two, four, five, or more, respectively.
[0168]In this embodiment, the assembly base 22 is made of metal and the fan housing 20 and the connecting piece 21 are made of plastic. The use of a metal material enables the assembly base 22 to be physically stronger and to be suitable for high-speed rotation of the fan assembly 25.
[0169]Specifically, the assembly base 22 is made of aluminium alloy. However, the material of the assembly base 22 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the material from which the assembly base 22 is made is capable of being (not limited to): made of a conventional metal such as iron, aluminium, copper, etc., or made of an alloy material of iron or copper.
[0170]In some embodiments, the assembly base 22 and the fan housing 20 can be made of the same plastic material.
[0171]Continuing as shown in
[0172]In the fan assembly 25, the motor assembly 23 is connected to the assembly base 22 and the rotating shaft 233, respectively, two connection methods, which can enable the motor assembly 23 to be cantilevered and set inside the fan housing 20, and at the same time, the sleeve mounting can enable the motor assembly 23 and the assembly base 22 to take up less space.
[0173]The motor assembly 23 comprises: a coil 231, a magnetic ring 232 and a motor shell 234, the coil 231 being socketed to the assembly base 22, the magnetic ring 232 being socketed to the coil 231, the motor shell 234 being socketed to the magnetic ring 232, and the motor shell 234 being fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 233 so as to enable the fan housing 20 to drive the rotating shaft 233 for rotation.
[0174]In this embodiment, when the coil 231 is energized, it drives the magnetic ring 232 to rotate, which in turn drives the motor shell 234 to rotate, and finally the motor shell 234 drives the rotating shaft 233 to rotate. This way of driving the motor enables the motor assembly 23 to be socketed on the assembly base 22. At the same time, the motor assembly 23 is made to rotate faster due to the larger force area of the magnetic ring 232 compared to the driven motor.
[0175]The coil 231 has an interference fit with the assembly base 22, the magnetic ring 232 is magnetically coupled to the coil 231, and the motor shell 234 has an interference fit with the rotating shaft 233. During rotation of the magnetic ring 232 and the coil 231, the magnetic ring 232 is in a suspended state for rotation, which is subject to less physical friction than conventional motors, and therefore can further increase the motor assembly 23 speed.
[0176]In some embodiments, the means of attachment of the coil 231 to the assembly base 22 is not limited to an interference fit. Depending on the specific application scenario, the method of connecting the coil 231 to the assembly base 22 can also be (not limited to): glued, welded, riveted, screwed, and other fixing methods.
[0177]In some embodiments, the motor shell 234 is not limited to an interference fit with the rotating shaft 233. Depending on the specific application scenario, the connection method between the motor shell 234 and the rotating shaft 233 can also be (not limited to): glued, welded, riveted, screwed, and other fixing methods.
[0178]Please continue in conjunction with
[0179]As shown in
[0180]The limit stop edge 238 on the motor shell 234 is formed due to variations in the thickness of the sidewalls of the motor shell 234. The motor shell 234 has a greater thickness of sidewall at the end adjacent to the fan blade assembly 24, and the motor shell 234 has a lesser thickness of sidewall at the end adjacent to the connecting piece 21. The variation in thickness of the sidewalls of the motor shell 234 results in the formation of the limit stop edge 238 within the motor shell 234.
[0181]In some embodiments, the limit stop edge 238 inside the motor shell 234, can be a limit stop edge 238 formed by an elevation of the inner surface of the motor shell 234.
[0182]The fan blade assembly 24 comprises: a hub 241 and a plurality of fan blades 242, the plurality of fan blades 242 being disposed around the hub 241, and the hub 241 being connected to a rotating shaft 233.
[0183]Referring to
[0184]As shown in
[0185]The hub 241 comprises: a top surface 2411, a bottom surface 2413, and a side surface 2412, the bottom surface 2413 having a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area of the top surface 2411, and a smooth transition between the top surface 2411 and the side surface 2412. That is, the hub 241 in this embodiment is constructed in the shape of a bullet head with a planar head. This shape of the hub 241 enables the airflow flowing through the fan blades 242 to flow along the curved surface formed by the smooth transition between the top surface 2411 and the side surface 2412, which has a good guiding effect on the airflow to form an attachment wall effect, improves the efficiency of the airflow flowing through the fan blade assembly 24, and thus improves the airflow efficiency of the fan module 2.
[0186]However, the shape of the hub 241 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the shape of the hub 241 is capable of being (not limited to): hemispherical, conical, daisy-shaped, cylindrical, and other shapes.
[0187]The top surface 2411 of the hub 241 is a circular surface. However, the shape of the top surface 2411 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the shape of the top surface 2411 of the hub 241 is also capable of being: conical, polygonal, oval, or other shapes.
[0188]Each of the plurality of fan blades 242 includes a first end portion portion 2421, and a second end portion 2422 opposite the first end portion 2421, the first end portion 2421 having a length greater than the length of the second end portion 2422. Wherein the first end portion 2421 is disposed adjacent a top surface 2411 of the hub 241 and the second end portion 2422 is disposed adjacent a bottom surface 2413 of the hub 241. In each fan blade 242, the first end portion 2421 is used to push airflow into the fan assembly 24 as the fan assembly 24 rotates, and the longer length of the first end portion 2421 facilitates pushing on the airflow. The second end portion 2422 is located at the end of the airflow flow direction, and the reduction of the length of the second end portion 2422 is conducive to reducing the size of the space for the airflow flow, compressing the airflow, increasing the initial kinetic energy of the airflow flow, and thus enhancing the airflow efficiency of the fan module 2.
[0189]Each fan blade 242 is provided with a blade edge 2423, and the thickness of each fan blade 242 gradually increases in the direction from the first end portion 2421 to the blade edge 2423, and the thickness of each fan blade 242 gradually decreases in the direction from the blade edge 2423 to the second end portion 2422. The thickness of the different parts of the fan blades 242 changes, so that each fan blade 242 is constructed as a structure with thinner ends and thicker middle, and this structure enhances the cutting ability of the ends of the fan blades 242 on the airflow, and reduces the air resistance at the ends of the fan blades 242. The increase in thickness of the middle part can enhance the physical strength of the fan blades 242, and at the same time, the increase in thickness of the fan blades 242 reduces the space between two neighbouring fan blades 242, and acts as a pressurizing effect on the airflow flowing through.
[0190]Referring to
[0191]As shown in
[0192]The shape of the base 221 is constructed as a rounded triangle, and the sides of two adjacent rounded corners of the base 221 are also constructed as internal arcs. With the construction of the inner arc shape, when the fan assembly 25 is rotating, the force of the base 221 acting on the positioning slot 2114 is decomposed in different directions of the arcuate edges, instead of being concentrated in the same direction, which further reduces the strength of the force on the edge of the positioning slot 2114, and enhances the service life of the fan assembly 25.
[0193]In some embodiments, the shape of the base 221 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, the shape of the base 221 is capable of being (not limited to): a running field shape, a polygonal shape, an oval shape, and other shapes.
[0194]The connecting column 222 includes: a first column 2221 and a second column 2222, the first column 2221 having a diameter greater than the diameter of the second column 2222, the first column 2221 being connected to the base 221, the second column 2222 being connected to the first column 2221, and the fan assembly 25 being socketed and connected to the second column 2222.
[0195]The diameter of the first column 2221 is greater than the diameter of the second body such that the first column 2221 and the second column 2222 form a stepped structure. The first post body 2221 can act as a stop member of the motor assembly 23 or the PCB circuit board, facilitating the assembly of the motor assembly 23 or the PCB circuit board.
[0196]In some embodiments, the shape of the connecting column 222 is not limited, and depending on the specific application scenario, the connecting column 222 is capable of being (not limited to): a straight column, a prismatic column, or a composite structure comprising a circular platform and a straight column.
[0197]A connecting hole 223 is provided in the connection column 222, a first bearing 224 and a second bearing 225 are provided at each end of the connecting hole 223, a rotating shaft 233 is inserted into and threaded out of the first bearing 224 and the second bearing 225, and a securing slot 236 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 233 that is threaded out of the second bearing 225, and a circlip 235 is connected to the securing slot 236.
[0198]The setting of the first bearing 224 and the second bearing 225 can make the rotation of the rotating shaft 233 more smooth. At the same time, the setting of the two rotating shafts 233 makes the linear rotation of the rotating shafts 233 more stable, which can make the rotation speed of the motor assembly 23 faster. The setting of the securing slot 236 and the circlip 235 can prevent the rotating shaft 233 from falling out of the first bearing 224 and the second bearing 225, enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection of the rotating shaft 233.
[0199]The base 221 comprises: a first projection 2212, a second projection 2213, and a third projection 2214, with an inner arc notch 2215 formed between each of the first projection 2212, the second projection 2213, and the third projection 2214, and the second projection 2213 and the third projection 2214 being connected by an outer arc tab 2216.
[0200]The second fixing holes 2211 are provided on the first projection 2212, the second projection 2213, and the third projection 2214, respectively. The thickness of the an outer arc tab 2216 is less than the thickness of the body of the base 221, and the second thread hole 2217 is provided on the outer arc tab 2216. The inner arc notch 2215 is constructed so that the edge of the positioning slot 2114 in contact with the base 221 is arcuate, and when the fan assembly 25 is rotating, the force of the base 221 acting on the positioning slot 2114 is decomposed in different directions of the arcuate edge, instead of being concentrated in the same direction, which further reduces the force intensity of the edges of the positioning slot 2114, and enhances the service life of the fan assembly 25.
[0201]In some embodiments, in conjunction with
[0202]Specifically, at the location where the motor shell 234 of the fan assembly 25 is connected to the rotating shaft 233, a connecting desk 237 is formed by extending projections in the direction facing the connecting column 222. The setting of the connecting desk 237 can increase the contact area between the motor shell 234 and the rotating shaft 233, enhance the strength of the connection between the motor shell 234 and the rotating shaft 233. It can effectively prevent the problem of unstable connection and short service life due to too small a contact area between the motor shell 234 and the rotating shaft 233, which leads to excessive local force.
[0203]In some embodiments, the connection of the connecting desk 237 to the rotating shaft 233 is not limited to an interference fit. Depending on the specific application scenario, the connection method of the connecting desk 237 and the rotating shaft 233 is also capable of being (not limited to): glued, welded, riveted, screwed, and other fixing methods.
[0204]Continuing to combine the
[0205]In some embodiments, a shaft sleeve 226 is provided between the second bearing 225 and the circlip 235, the shaft sleeve 226 being socketed on the rotating shaft 233, with the end of the shaft sleeve 226 facing the rotating shaft 233 resting against the second inner ring 2251 of the second bearing 225.
[0206]The setting of the shaft sleeve 226 can prevent the rotating shaft 233 from contacting the circlip 235 with the second bearing 225 after slipping with the first bearing 224 and the second bearing 225, the contact of the circlip 235 and the second bearing 225 will cause friction damage. The end of the shaft sleeve 226 facing the second bearing 225 is offset from the second inner ring 2251, which enables the shaft sleeve 226 to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 233 and the second inner ring 2251, and avoids friction and collision damage with the rotating rotating shaft 233 and the second bearing 225 due to the lack of driving force of the shaft sleeve 226.
[0207]In some embodiments, the shaft sleeve 226 resists the circlip 235 at one end and resists the second inner ring 2251 of the second bearing 225 at the other end.
[0208]The shaft sleeve 226 is made of an alloy material or a metallic material. However, the material of the shaft sleeve 226 is not limited to this. Depending on the specific application, in some embodiments, the shaft sleeve 226 can be made of plastic or rubber materials.
[0209]In some embodiments, one end of the rotating shaft 233 coupled with the circlip 235 is disposed inside of the connecting inner ring 2112. Preventing frictional damage between the protruding end of the shaft 233 and other components.
[0210]In some embodiments, a PCB circuit board is provided between the base 221 and the fan assembly 25, and the PCB circuit board is socketed on the connecting column 222. The PCB circuit board is used to control functions such as starting, stopping, and rotational speed variation of the motor assembly 23. The PCB circuit board is provided between the base 221 and the fan assembly 25 and socketed on the connecting column 222, which helps save internal space in the fan module 2 and improves space utilization within the module. At the same time, this arrangement shortens the distance between the PCB circuit board and the motor assembly 23, reducing the length of the connecting wires and saving materials.
[0211]The PCB circuit board is constructed in a circular shape as a whole. However, the shape of the PCB circuit board is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the shape of the PCB circuit board is capable of being (not limited to): polygonal, oval, or runway shaped, among other shapes.
[0212]The PCB circuit board is connected to the connecting column 222 by means of an interference fit. However, the fixing method of the PCB circuit board is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the PCB circuit board is also fixed to the coil 231 by screws.
[0213]In some embodiments, the connecting piece 21 is provided with a first thread hole 2113, the base 221 is provided with a second thread hole 2217 at a corresponding location of the first thread hole 2113, and a thickness of the base 221 at the location where the second thread hole 2217 is opened is less than a thickness of the other locations of the base 221.
[0214]In order to facilitate wire routing and keep the wires connected to the PCB circuit board from leaking out, a first thread hole 2113 is provided in the connecting piece 21, and a second thread hole 2217 is provided in the base 221. The provision of the first thread hole 2113 and the second thread hole 2217 allows the wires to be routed in a way that is not leaking out to improve the smoothness of the airflow flow inside the fan module 2. At the same time, the thickness of the base 221 at the position where the second thread hole 2217 is opened is smaller than the thickness of the other positions of the base 221, which can reduce the overall weight of the base 221 and make the fan module 2 more lightweight. The design of the thickness variation and the design of the positioning slot 2114 cooperate with each other to make the side of the base 221 facing the motor assembly 23 more flat and neat.
[0215]In some embodiments, the fan housing 20 is provided with a flexible housing 26, and bulge loops 261 and bulge points 262 are alternately provided on the exterior of the flexible housing 26. The provision of the flexible housing 26 can increase the friction between the fan module 2 and an external object or other mating structure, so as to make the connection of the fan module 2 more stable. At the same time, the setting of the flexible housing 26 can also effectively buffer the physical vibration generated during the operation of the fan module 2, so that the rotation of the fan module 2 is more stable and less noise is generated.
[0216]Bulge loops 261 and bulge points 262 are alternately provided on the exterior of the flexible housing 26. Specifically, in some embodiments, the bulge loops 261 are provided at the ends of the flexible housing 26, and the bulge points 262 are provided between two of the bulge loops 261. Alternatively, the bulge loops 261 are provided at the ends and in the middle of the flexible housing 26, and the bulge points 262 are provided between two adjacent bulge loops 261. However, the alternating provision of the bulge loops 261 and the bulge points 262 is not limited to this, and the number of bulge loops 261 can be: four, five, six or more. The bulge points 262 are also capable of being provided at one or both ends of the flexible housing 26.
[0217]The alternating arrangement of the bulge loop 261 and the bulge point 262 provides greater deformation space, facilitating the assembly of the fan module 2. At the same time, the larger deformation space can improve the cushioning performance of the flexible housing 26.
[0218]The airflow passage inside the fan housing 20 is at least partially in the shape of a regular cylinder, and the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan assembly 24 ranges from 1.01 to 1.15. This ratio defines the gap between the maximum diameter of the fan assembly 24 and the fan housing 20. When the fan blade assembly 24 rotates, it generates centrifugal force on the airflow flowing through the fan blade assembly 24, and under the action of the centrifugal force, the airflow will move laterally and collide with the inner wall of the fan housing 20, generating turbulence. The turbulence will affects the flow field of the airflow in the fan housing 20, leading to a lower efficiency of the air outlet of the fan module 2. By limiting the range of the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 to between 1.01-1.15 limits the gap between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, so as to reduce the travelling of the transverse airflow under the action of the centrifugal force, and thus limit the velocity of the airflow when it contacts the inner edge surface of the fan housing 20 to a smaller priority range. Therefore, this ratio can reduce the energy loss when the airflow collides with the fan housing 20, reduce the chance of turbulence occurring, and improve the stability of the airflow flow field. At the same time, since the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 is limited to a range of 1.01-1.15, within this ratio, the spacing between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20 is small. The small spacing between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20 is able to have an excellent intercepting effect on the return airflow in the fan blade assembly 24, preventing the cyclone generated by the return airflow from affecting the air intake of the fan blade assembly 24, and improving the air intake efficiency of the fan module 2. The improvement of the air intake efficiency improves the overall air outlet efficiency of the fan module 2.
[0219]In some embodiments, the length ratio of the first end portion 2421 and the second end portion 2422 ranges from 1.4 to 1.9. The airflow through the fan flows from the first end portion 2421 to the second end portion 2422, and the first end portion 2421 gradually decreases in the direction facing the second end portion 2422, and this reduction process cooperates with the change in the size of the hub 241 to gradually reduce the space for the airflow to flow through. The flow is gradually pressurized to increase the initial velocity of the airflow. However, since the fan blade assembly 24 has a gap between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, when the pressure of the airflow entering the first end portion 2421 and flowing out of the second end portion 2422 is obviously too large, since it is not a completely closed space, the over-pressurized airflow will have a reflux phenomenon. And the refluxed airflow will impact on the intake airflow of the fan module 2 to form a cyclone, reducing the intake air efficiency of the fan module 2. The range of the ratio of the lengths of the first end portion 2421 and the second end portion 2422 is limited to 1.4-1.9, in which the airflow pressurization of the airflow flowing through the fan blade assembly 24 is regulated within the optimal range, minimizing the problem of backflow of the airflow due to excessive pressure. At the same time, within the range of the ratio, the first end portion 2421 is able to intercept and utilize the return airflow gradually overflowing from the edge of the fan blade 242 in the most effective manner, minimizing the chance of the return airflow flowing out of the fan housing 20. The combination of the two effects enables the airflow into the first end portion 2421 and the airflow out of the airflow end portion to converge to an optimal value of 1:1. The airflow efficiency of the fan blade assembly 24 is greatly improved.
[0220]It is to be noted that any of the embodiments in this embodiment are capable of being implemented independently, or by combination with one or more other embodiments. When implemented in combination, the combination should not be limited to the combination enumerated in this embodiment.
[0221]The third embodiment, as shown in
[0222]Referring to
[0223]As shown in
[0224]In the above embodiment, the motor assembly 23 and the fan blade assembly 24 of the fan module 2 are provided in the fan housing 20, and a first balance ring 243 and a second balance ring 244 are opened on the fan blade assembly 24, and by filling the corresponding positions of the first balance ring 243 and the second balance ring 244 with balance soil, the mass distribution of the fan blade assembly 24 is equalized, so that the rotational efficiency and stability of the fan blade assembly 24. At the same time, the two adjusting ring portions of the first balance ring 243 and the second balance ring 244 are able to increase the adjustable space of the fan blade assembly 24, achieving the purpose of equalizing a larger range of mass deviations formed by the fan blade assembly 24. The diameter of the first balance ring 243 is larger than the diameter of the second balance ring 244, and during rotation of the fan blade assembly 24, the torque of the first balance ring 243 is larger than the torque of the second balance ring 244, and the balance soil of the same mass produces a different regulating effect in the first balance ring 243 and the second balance ring 244, so that there is a hierarchical difference between the balancing effect of this structure on the fan blade assembly 24. As a result, this structure has a hierarchical difference in the equalizing effect on the fan blade assembly 24, and the combined use of the two can achieve more accurate mass equalization, thereby greatly enhancing the rotational efficiency and stability of the fan blade assembly 24.
[0225]In this embodiment, the fan housing 20 is constructed in a cylindrical shape, with a cylindrical interior opening into a cylindrical air cavity. However, the shape of the fan housing 20 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the shape of the fan housing 20 is capable of being: triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, other polygonal, or other regular shapes.
[0226]In this embodiment, the fan housing 20 is provided with air chambers through its upper and lower surfaces, the air chambers being constructed in a cylindrical shape. However, the shape of the wind cavity is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario.

The connecting ring 211 is fitted with the motor assembly 23 through an interference fit, snap-fit or provided with a connecting column 222 on the connecting ring 211, and the motor assembly 23 being sleeved onto the connecting column 222.
[0229]Referring to
[0230]As shown in
[0231]The manner of connecting piece 21 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario. In some embodiments, the connecting piece 21 can be a connecting body formed perpendicularly on the inner surface of the fan housing 20.
[0232]The motor assembly 23 is fixed to the connecting ring 211. However, the fixation of the motor assembly 23 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the connecting ring 211 is provided with a connecting column 222, and the motor assembly 23 is able to be socketed on the connecting column 222. The connecting column 222 can be integrally formed with the connecting ring 211, or it can be fixed to the connecting ring 211 by means of snap-fit, riveting, screw connection, or gluing.
[0233]In some embodiments, the motor assembly 23 comprises: a coil 231 and a magnetic ring 232, the coil 231 being socketed to the connecting column 222 and having an interference fit with the connecting column 222, and the magnetic ring 232 being provided within the fan blade assembly 24. The rotating shaft 133 is connected to the fan blade assembly 24 at one end and to the connecting column 222 at the other end.
[0234]In some embodiments, the motor assembly 23 comprises: a coil 231, a magnetic ring 232, and a motor shell 234, the coil 231 being socketed to the connecting column 222 and having an interference fit with the connecting column 222, and the magnetic ring 232 being provided within the motor shell 234 and socketed to the coil 231. The rotating shaft 133 is connected to the fan blade assembly 24 at one end, and is connected to the connecting column 222 at the other end, and has an interference fit with the motor shell 234.
[0235]In some embodiments, the motor assembly 23 is a conventional motor that is secured to the connecting ring 211 by means of snap-fit, screw-fixing, riveting, glued connection, welding, or the like.
[0236]In some embodiments, the motor assembly 23 is capable of being connected to the fan housing 20 via a structure within the fan housing 20, such as a connecting desk on an inner wall of the fan housing 20, the connecting desk being connected to the motor assembly 23. Alternatively, a connecting rod extends within the fan housing 20 and the motor assembly 23 is secured to the connecting rod. Alternatively, two opposing clamping portions extend inwardly from the inner surface of the fan housing 20 to clamp and secure the motor assembly 23.
[0237]In some embodiments, a buttress plate extends within the fan housing 20 towards the motor assembly 23 to secure the motor assembly 23 by clamping, or a support structure extends laterally within the fan housing 20 for securing the motor assembly 23.
[0238]The motor assembly 23 is connected to the fan blade assembly 24 by a rotating shaft 133. The rotating shaft 133 is connected to the motor assembly 23 and the connecting column 222 at one end, and is connected to the fan blade assembly 24 at the other end. However, the connection of the rotating shaft 133 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario. In some embodiments, the end of the rotating shaft 133 connected to the motor assembly 23 is also connected to the connecting column 222. In some embodiments, when the magnetic ring 232 is fixed in the fan blade assembly 24, one end of the rotating shaft 133 is connected to the connecting ring 211 or the connecting column 222 only, and the other end is connected to the fan blade assembly 24.
[0239]In this embodiment, the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the largest diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 ranges from 1.01-1.15. The ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the largest diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 ranges to limit the clearance between the fan housing 20 and the fan blade assembly 24 at the largest point of the diameter of the fan blade assembly 24. When the fan blade assembly 24 rotates, it generates centrifugal force on the airflow flowing through the fan blade assembly 24. And under the action of the centrifugal force, the airflow will move laterally and collide with the inner wall of the fan housing 20, generating turbulence. The turbulence will affect the flow field of the airflow in the fan housing 20, and further leading to a lower efficiency of the air outlet of the fan module 2. Limiting the range of the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 to between 1.01-1.15 limits the gap between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, so as to reduce the travelling of the transverse airflow under the action of the centrifugal force, and thus limit the velocity of the airflow when it contacts the inner edge surface of the fan housing 20 to a smaller priority range. Therefore, this ratio can reduce the energy loss when the airflow collides with the fan housing 20, reduce the chance of turbulence occurring, and improve the stability of the airflow flow field. At the same time, since the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 is limited to a range of 1.01-1.15, within this ratio, the spacing between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20 is small. The small spacing between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20 is able to have an excellent intercepting effect on the return airflow in the fan blade assembly 24, preventing the cyclone generated by the return airflow from affecting the air intake of the fan blade assembly 24, and improving the air intake efficiency of the fan module 2. The improvement of the air intake efficiency improves the overall air outlet efficiency of the fan module 2.

[0241]As shown in
[0242]The number of balance slots 245 of the first balance ring 243 can be (not limited to): two, three, four, five, ten, eighteen, twenty-six or more. The number of balance slots 245 of the first balance ring 243 can be arbitrarily set based on actual needs.
[0243]The number of balance slots 245 of the second balance ring 244 can be (not limited to): two, three, four, five, eleven, eighteen, twenty-six or more. The number of balance slots 245 of the second balance ring 244 can be arbitrarily set based on actual needs.
[0244]The fan blade assembly 24 includes: a hub 241 and a plurality of fan blades 242, the plurality of fan blades 242 extending at an angle around the surface of the hub 241, the hub 241 being connected to a rotating shaft 133.
[0245]In this embodiment, the number of fan blades 242 is nine. However, the number of fan blades 242 is not limited, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some implementations, the number of fan blades 242 is capable of being (not limited to): two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ten, eleven, or more.
[0246]The hub 241 comprises: a top surface 2411, a bottom surface 2413, and a side surface 2412, the bottom surface 2413 having a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area of the top surface 2411 and a smooth transition between the top surface 2411 and the side surface 2412, a first balance ring 243 being provided on the side surface 2412 and connected to the bottom surface 2413, and a second balance ring 244 being provided on the side surface 2412.
[0247]That is, the hub 241 in this embodiment is constructed in the shape of a bullet with a flat head. This shape of the hub 241 enables the airflow flowing through the fan blades 242 to flow along the curved surface formed by the smooth transition between the top surface 2411 and the side surface 2412 to form an attachment wall effect, which has a good guiding effect on the airflow, improves the efficiency of the airflow flowing through the fan blade assembly 24, and thus improves the airflow efficiency of the fan module 2.
[0248]However, the shape of the hub 241 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the shape of the hub 241 is capable of being (not limited to): hemispherical, conical, daisy-shaped, cylindrical, and other shapes.
[0249]The top surface 2411 of the hub 241 is a circular surface. However, the shape of the top surface 2411 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some embodiments, the shape of the top surface 2411 of the hub 241 is also capable of being: conical, polygonal, oval, or other shapes.
[0250]An opening is provided in the bottom surface 2413 of the hub 241, the opening being connected to a holding cavity inside the hub 241, and a connecting shaft sleeve is provided inside the holding cavity. In some embodiments, a plurality of stiffeners are provided around the connecting shaft sleeve, the plurality of stiffeners are provided around the connecting shaft sleeve, one end of the stiffeners is connected to the connecting shaft sleeve, and the other end of the stiffeners is connected to the inner surface of the hub 241.
[0251]Each of the plurality of fan blades 242 includes a first end portion 2421, and a second end portion 2422 opposite the first end portion 2421, the length of the first end portion 2421 being greater than the length of the second end portion 2422, the first balance ring 243 being disposed on a side adjacent the second end portion 2422, and the second balance ring 244 being disposed on a side adjacent the first end portion 2421.
[0252]The first end portion 2421 is located adjacent to the top surface 2411 of the hub 241 and the second end portion 2422 is located adjacent to the bottom surface 2413 of the hub 241. In each fan blade 242, the first end portion 2421 is used to propel airflow into the fan assembly 24 as the fan assembly 24 rotates, and a longer length of the first end portion 2421 helps in driving the airflow more effectively. The second end portion 2422 is located at the end of the airflow flow direction, and The reduction in the length of the second end portion 2422 helps to reduce the space through which the airflow passes, compressing the airflow, increasing the initial kinetic energy of the airflow flow, and thus enhancing the air output efficiency of the fan module 2.
[0253]In some embodiments, the length ratio of the first end portion 2421 and the second end portion 2422 ranges from 1.4 to 1.9. The airflow passing through the fan flows from the first end portion 2421 to the second end portion 2422, The direction of the first end portion 2421 gradually decreases towards the second end portion 2422. This reduction process cooperates with the change in the size of the hub 241 to gradually reduce the space for the airflow to pass through. Compresses the airflow□thereby increasing the initial speed of the airflow. However, since the fan blade assembly 24 has a gap between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, when the pressure of the airflow entering the first end portion 2421 and flowing out of the second end portion 2422 becomes excessively high, since it is not a completely closed space, the over-pressurized airflow will have a reflux phenomenon, and the refluxed airflow will impact on the intake airflow of the fan module 2 to form a cyclone, reducing the intake air efficiency of the fan module 2. The range of the length ratio of the first end portion 2421 to the second end portion 2422 is limited to 1.4-1.9, the airflow pressurization of the airflow passing through the fan blade assembly 24 is regulated within the optimal range, minimizing the problem of backflow of the airflow due to excessive pressure. At the same time, within the range of the ratio, the first end portion 2421 is able to intercept and utilize the return airflow gradually overflowing from the edge of the fan blade 242 in the most effective manner, minimizing the chance of the return airflow flowing out of the fan housing 20. The combination of the two effects enables the airflow into the first end portion 2421 and the airflow out of the airflow end portion to converge to an optimal value of 1:1. The airflow efficiency of the fan blade assembly 24 is greatly improved.
[0254]Each fan blade 242 is provided with a blade edge 2423, and the thickness of each fan blade 242 gradually increases in the direction from the first end portion 2421 to the blade edge 2423, and the thickness of each fan blade 242 gradually decreases in the direction from the blade edge 2423 to the second end portion 2422. The thickness of the different parts of the fan blades 242 changes, so that each fan blade 242 is constructed as a structure with thinner ends and thicker middle, and this structure enhances the cutting ability of the ends of the fan blades 242 on the airflow, and reduces the air resistance at the ends of the fan blades 242. The increase in thickness of the middle part can enhance the physical strength of the fan blades 242, and at the same time, the increase in thickness of the fan blades 242 reduces the space between two neighbouring fan blades 242, and acts as a pressurizing effect on the airflow passing through.
[0255]Along the circumferential direction of the hub 241, the length of the second baffle 2432 is greater than the length of the first baffle 2431. The change in the length of the spacer makes the leveling capacity of the first balance ring 243, instead of the superposition of the unit leveling capacity, appear as a numerical span, and this span change is coupled with the fine-tuning capacity of the second balance ring 244, and the fine-tuning capacity, as a supplement to the numerical span, can make it possible to reach the leveling purpose quickly.
[0256]In some embodiments, the second baffle 2432 is connected to the second end portion 2422 of the fan blades 242, a connection that makes full use of the space of the fan blade assembly 24, extends the length of the fan blades 242, and enhances the efficiency of the airflow of the fan blade assembly 24.
[0257]The fan housing 20 is provided with a flexible housing 26, and the flexible housing 26 is alternately provided with a bulge loop 261 and a bulge point 262. To improve the drop resistance of the fan module 2, and at the same time, while also reducing noise and vibration when the fan module 2 is in use.
[0258]It is to be noted that any of the embodiments in this embodiment are capable of being implemented independently, or by combination with one or more other embodiments. When implemented in combination, the combination should not be limited to the combination enumerated in this embodiment.
[0259]The fourth embodiment, as shown in
[0260]Referring to
[0261]As shown in
[0262]In this embodiment, the fan housing 20 is constructed in a cylindrical shape, and a cylindrical interior is opened with a cylindrical air chamber 201. However, the shape of the fan housing 20 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenarios. In some embodiments, the shape of the fan housing 20 is capable of being: triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, other polygonal, or other regular shapes.
[0263]Referring to
[0264]As shown in
[0265]Referring to
[0266]As shown in
[0267]The connecting column 222 is provided on the side of the connecting ring 211 facing the fan blade assembly 24. The connecting column 222 comprises: a first column 2221 and a second column 2222, the bottom surface of the a first column 2221 is provided on the connecting ring 211, the top surface of the first column 2221 is connected to the second column 2222, and the coil 231 is socketed on the second column 2222.
[0268]The structure of the connecting column 222 enables the first column 2221 to act as a limit, and to act as a stop for the fan assembly 25 socketed on the second column 2222, improving the assembly efficiency of the coil 231.
[0269]In some embodiments, the connecting column 222 is also capable of being constructed as a prism or circular column.
[0270]The provision of the connecting column 222 can enable the motor assembly 23 and the fan blade assembly 24 to be set suspended inside the fan housing 20, so that the rotation of the motor assembly 23 and the fan blade assembly 24 inside the fan housing 20 is more smooth.
[0271]The connecting ring 211 is provided with the plurality of connecting plates 212 in such a way that the connecting ring 211 can be provided suspended inside the fan housing 20. At the same time, the connecting plates 212 and the gaps between the connecting plates 212 can serve as air ducts for the airflow flow inside the fan housing 20 to restrain the airflow inside the fan housing 20.
[0272]The end portion of each connecting plate 212 facing the fan blade assembly 24 is curved and extended in the direction of the fan blade assembly 24 to form an air guide plate 213, with the curvature direction of the air guide plate 213 being opposite to the direction of rotation of the fan blade assembly 24.
[0273]Each connecting plate 212 facing the end of the fan blade assembly 24 is curved and extended to form an air guide plate 213, the curvature direction of the air guide plate 213 is opposite to the rotation direction of the fan assembly 25. When the fan blade assembly 24 rotates, it will drive the airflow to rotate in the same direction, at this time, the curvature direction of the air guide plate 213 is opposite to the direction of the rotation of the airflow, the airflow is rotated with the curved part of the air guide plate 213 in contact with the collision. Due to the opposite direction, the angle of contact between the airflow and the curved part of the air guide plate 213 is greater than 90 degrees, and the airflow is contacted by the air guide plate 213 at a larger angle, which can reduce the loss of kinetic energy of the airflow contacting the air guide plate 213. And during the contact process at a larger angle, the air guide plate 213 has an obvious guiding effect on the airflow, with a small loss of energy, which can greatly increase the efficiency of the airflow.
[0274]In this embodiment, the number of connecting plates 212 is seven. However, the number of connecting plates 212 is not limited to this, and depending on the specific application scenario, in some implementations, the number of connecting plates 212 is capable of being two, three, four, five, six, eight or more.
[0275]In this embodiment, the number of air guide plates 213 corresponding to the number of connecting plates 212 is also seven. However, the number of air guide plates 213 is not limited to this, and may vary depending on the specific application scenario, in some implementations, the number of air guide plates 213 can be two, three, four, five, six, eight or more.
[0276]In some embodiments, the connecting plate 212 and the air guide plate 213 are of a split structure, i.e., the connecting plate 212 and the air guide plate 213 are provided independently of each other, and the connected ends of the connecting plate 212 and the air guide plate 213 are capable of being docked together or separated from each other.
[0277]The air guide plate 213 is provided between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, and the air guide plate 213 is connected to an inner surface of the fan housing 20, with a gap between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24.
[0278]The air guide plate 213 is provided between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, and the air guide plate 213 has a gap between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24. The gap between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24 is such that after the airflow comes into contact with the air guide plate 213, part of the airflow passes to the air outlet along the guidance of the air guide plate 213, and the other part of the airflow flows to the next air guide plate 213 through the gap flow between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24. The gap between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24 provides a channel for the air pressure balance between the air guide plate 213 and the fan blade assembly 24, avoiding the problem that the air pressure on both sides of the air guide plate 213 is inconsistent due to the fact that the air guide plate 213 is completely closed, thus affecting the air output efficiency of the fan module.
[0279]Referring to
[0280]As shown in
[0281]In some embodiments, when the connecting column 222 comprises: a first column 2221 and a second column 2222, the coil 231 is socketed to the second column 2222 and one end of the coil 231 is interlocked with the first column 2221. The first column 2221 can define the position of the coil 231 and making it convenient for the assembly and positioning of the coil 231.
[0282]The magnetic ring 232 is provided inside the hub 241 of the fan blade assembly 24, and the magnetic ring 232 and the hub 241 are connected by means of an interference fit, while the inner ring of the magnetic ring 232 is socketed on the coil 231, and is connected to the coil 231 by magnetic coupling. The connection of the magnetic ring 232 with the fan blade assembly 24 and the coil 231 can make the connection of the entire motor assembly 23 and the fan blade assembly 24 more compact, and can also save the housing structure of the motor assembly 23, making the motor assembly 23 more lightweight. The fan blade assembly 24 is set on the magnetic ring 232, so that the contact area between the fan blade assembly 24 and the motor assembly 23 is larger, and the torque when rotating is smaller, so that the fan blade assembly 24 can be more stable when rotating, and the speed of rotation is higher, and the air output of the fan module is larger.
[0283]In some embodiments, the motor assembly 23 further comprises: a metal ring 239, the metal ring 239 being disposed on the magnetic ring 232, and the fan blade assembly 24 being disposed on the metal ring 239. The metal ring 239 is provided to protect the magnetic ring 232 from damage during assembly of the magnetic ring 232.
[0284]The buffering component 27 is set on the rotating shaft 233, the connecting column 222 is provided with a connecting hole 223, the two ends of the connecting hole 223 are provided with a first shaft sleeve 2261 and a second shaft sleeve 2262, and the rotating shaft 233 is inserted into and threaded out of the first shaft sleeve 2261 and the second shaft sleeve 2262. The first shaft sleeve 2261 and the second shaft sleeve 2262 can make the linear stability of the rotation of the rotary shaft 233 better, which in turn makes the rotation of the fan blade assembly 24 more stable and the efficiency of the air outlet higher.
[0285]The end of the rotating shaft 233 that penetrates the second shaft sleeve 2262 is provided with a securing slot, and the securing slot is provided with a ring circlip 235, and the ring circlip 235 is provided with an opening to enable the ring circlip 235 to be disassembled. The diameter of the ring circlip 235 is larger than the diameter of the inner ring of the second shaft sleeve 2262, so that the ring circlip 235 prevents the rotating shaft 233 from falling out of the second shaft sleeve 2262 and the first shaft sleeve 2261.
[0286]In some embodiments, a seal 240 is provided between the ring circlip 235 and the second shaft sleeve 2262.
[0287]The buffering component 27 is constructed in the shape of a tower, and the buffering component 27 is socketed on the rotating shaft 233. The buffering component 27 being socketed on the rotating shaft 233 prevents the buffering component 27 from being displaced during the rotation of the fan blade assembly 24 and impeding the normal rotation of the fan blade assembly 24.
[0288]The buffering component 27 is constructed in the shape of a tower, and the elastic force of the tower buffering component 27 grows linearly after being subjected to pressure, so that it can effectively cushion and reset the displacement generated during the rotation of the fan blade assembly 24, so that the rotation of the fan blade assembly 24 is more stable. The linear growth of the elastic force enables the fan blade assembly 24 to smoothly increase the buffering force when it is squeezed by a large external force, so as to provide a better buffering effect.
[0289]In some embodiments, the shape of the buffering component 27 is not limited to a tower shape, and depending on the specific application scenario, the shape of the buffering component 27 is capable of being (not limited to): a ring, a straight cylinder, or a curved, spherical shape, or the like.
[0290]In some embodiments, the positional relationship of the buffering component 27 is not limited to being socketed on the rotating shaft 233, but is capable of being provided on the fan blade assembly 24, or on the connecting column 222, depending on the specific application scenario.
[0291]One end of the buffering component 27 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 222, and the other end of the buffering component 27 is overlapped with or separated from the fan blade assembly 24. The buffering component 27 is connected to the connecting column 222, which avoids the buffering component 27 coming into contact with the fan blade assembly 24 during the normal working state of the fan blade assembly 24 and interfering with the normal rotation of the fan blade assembly 24, and improves the stability of the rotation of the fan blade assembly 24 and the efficiency of the fan module. The other end of the buffering component 27 is overlapped or separated from the fan blade assembly 24. Specifically, when the fan blade assembly 24 is subjected to force to move in the direction of the connecting column 222, the fan blade assembly 24 is coupled with the buffering component 27; when the fan blade assembly 24 rotates normally, it is separated from the buffering component 27 to ensure that the fan blade assembly 24 is in an optimal rotational state. In this embodiment, the buffering component 27 can be fitted on the rotating shaft 233 or separated from the rotating shaft 233.
[0292]The material used to make the buffering component 27 in this embodiment can be (not limited to): a metal spring or an elastomer made of rubber.
[0293]In this embodiment, a connecting piece 21 is provided in the fan housing 20 of the fan module for connecting the motor assembly 23, and the fan blade assembly 24 is connected to the motor assembly 23 and a buffering component 27 is provided between the fan blade assembly 24 and the connecting piece 21. The provision of the buffering component 27 is able to limit and buffer the displacement phenomenon of the fan blade assembly 24, avoiding that the fan blade assembly 24 comes into contact with other components in the fan housing 20 in a narrow space and thus causing wear and tear of the fan blades 242 or a reduction in rotation efficiency. The rotation efficiency of the fan module is improved and the service life of the fan module is extended.
[0294]In this embodiment, a ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 ranges from 1.01 to 1.15. The ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 defines the gap between the fan housing 20 and the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24. When the fan blade assembly 24 rotates, it generates centrifugal force on the airflow passing through the fan blade assembly 24. And under the action of the centrifugal force, the airflow will move laterally and collide with the inner wall of the fan housing 20, generating turbulence. The turbulence will affect the flow field of the airflow in the fan housing 20, leading to a lower efficiency of the air outlet of the fan module 2. Limiting the range of the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 to between 1.01-1.15 limits the gap between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20, so as to reduce the travelling of the transverse airflow under the action of the centrifugal force, and thus limit the velocity of the airflow when it contacts the inner edge surface of the fan housing 20 to a smaller priority range. Therefore, this ratio can reduce the energy loss when the airflow collides with the fan housing 20, reduce the chance of turbulence occurring, and improve the stability of the airflow flow field. At the same time, since the ratio of the inner diameter of the fan housing 20 to the maximum diameter of the fan blade assembly 24 is limited to a range of 1.01-1.15. Within this ratio, the spacing between the fan blade assembly 24 and the fan housing 20 is small, which is able to have an excellent intercepting effect on the return airflow in the fan blade assembly 24, preventing the cyclone generated by the return airflow from affecting the air intake of the fan blade assembly 24, and improving the air intake efficiency of the fan module 2. The improvement of the air intake efficiency improves the overall air outlet efficiency of the fan module 2.

For example, the input module 31 may input the instruction by touch, voice, or other input methods. When the input module 31 is a touch control module 311, the input module 31 generates a switch signal when it detects a touch action, and the input module 31 generates a wind speed adjustment signal when it detects a sliding action. When the input module 31 is the voice control module 312, the input module 31 captures the voice signal of the user and converts it into the switch signal and the wind speed adjustment control signal. When the input module 31 is the networking module 36, the input module 31 receives the remote control signal or the wind speed adjustment parameters set by the user. The input module 31 may also be a multifunctional input module, through which the input module 31 achieves a variety of functions such as timing control, light control, head shaking control, spray control, cooling control, and so on.

[0319]The input module 31 and the control module 32 are connected to each other by wired or wireless means, and the input module is provided on the portable fan housing or on other electronic devices.
[0320]The input module 31 and the control module 32 are connected to each other by wired means, for example, through an I2C connection line, an SPI connection line, an UART connection line, a GPIO interface, an USB interface, a CAN bus, an I2S interface, and an ADC interface. I2C connection line (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial communication protocol commonly used to connect low-speed peripheral devices (such as touch modules) to the motherboard, using two wires (SDA and SCL) for data transmission and clock synchronization. SPI connection line (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a high-speed synchronous serial communication protocol, using four wires (MISO, MOSI, SCK, and SS) for data transmission. UART connection line (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) is an asynchronous serial communication protocol that uses two wires (Tx and Rx) for data transmission. GPIO Interface (General-Purpose Input/Output) is a general-purpose digital signal input/output interface that can be configured in either input or output mode. USB interface (Universal Serial Bus) is a general-purpose, high-speed serial communications interface that supports plug-and-play and hot-plugging. CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is an industrial automation serial communications protocol with high reliability and real-time performance. The I2S interface (Integrated Interchip Sound) is a serial bus standard for audio data transfer. ADC interface (Analog-to-Digital Converter) is an interface that converts analogue signals to digital signals. Signal transmission between the input module 31 and the control module 32 is achieved through wireless communication technologies, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and so on. The input module 31 is directly integrated into the housing of the portable fan, which is suitable for occasions where the user wishes to operate the fan directly on the fan, such as adjusting the wind speed via a touch screen or switching the fan on and off by pressing a button. The input module 31 can also be separated from the portable fan and installed on other electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.), and wirelessly connected to the control module of the fan, making the control of the portable fan more flexible and convenient, and allowing the user to remotely control the fan through an existing electronic device. Among them, the wireless module can be Bluetooth module, Wi-Fi module, infrared module, 433 MHz wireless module, but also for the following wireless modules: Zigbee module, Z-Wave module, LoRa (Long Range) module, NFC (Near Field Communication), 2.4 GHz dedicated wireless modules, 5G etc. The control module 32 receives signals from the input module 31 and performs signal processing, generates switch control signals based on the switch signals for controlling the start and stop of the high-speed three-phase motor 34, and calculates control signals for adjusting the portable fan based on the wind speed adjustment signals, which include, but are not limited to, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), PPM (Pulse Position Modulation), data protocols, or other custom protocols. Among them, PWM signals are a commonly used control method to regulate the speed of the motor by changing the duty cycle of the signal (i.e., the ratio of the time at high level to the period). PPM signals convey information by changing the position of the pulse within a cycle. The data protocol can be a standard communication protocol (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART) or a custom communication protocol for transmitting more complex control commands. The custom protocols are designed to design specific control signal formats and transmission methods based on specific application requirements. If the input module 31 is a voice module 312, the control module 32 generates switching control signals and PWM control signals based on the switching signals and wind speed adjustment control signals. If the input module 31 is a networking module 36, the control module 32 generates a corresponding control signal according to the remote control signal. The drive module 33 comprises three bridge arms, each of which includes an upper bridge arm switch tube and a lower bridge arm switch tube connected to the phase coils of the high-speed three-phase motor 34. The control module 32 controls the switch tubes of each bridge arm via switching control signals to start or stop the high-speed three-phase motor 34. The switch tubes of each bridge arm are controlled via PWM control signals to regulate the speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 34. Controlling the starting and stopping of the motor as well as the rotational speed can be done using a six-step phase switching method for motor control, where only two MOS tubes conduct at each moment, creating an efficient current path to drive the motor. By controlling three bridge arms (each with two MOS tubes), six phase change states are realized to drive the motor, each phase change state corresponds to a pair of on MOS tubes and the rest of the MOS tubes remain off. The high-speed three-phase motor 34 receives signals from the driver module 33, starts to operate and provides the corresponding wind speed.
[0321]The technical effect of the sixth embodiment is that: through the switch signal and wind speed adjustment control signal output from the input module, the control module is able to generate the switch control signal and PWM control signal, so that the user can adjust the operation state and wind speed of the fan according to the need, and realize flexible wind speed adjustment; compared with the traditional mechanical switching method, this technical solution enables the user to select the appropriate wind speed according to the specific needs, which enhances the convenience and comfort and improves the user experience.
[0322]As an embodiment, as shown in
[0323]The touch control module 311 detects the touch and slide actions of the user, when the user touches the touch control module 311, the touch control module 311 detects the touch action and generates a switch signal, and when the user slides on the touch control module 311, the touch control module 311 detects the slide parameter and generates a wind speed adjustment signal. The control module 32 receives and processes the switch signal and generates a switch control signal for controlling the start and stop of the high-speed three-phase motor 34. The control module 32 receives and processes the wind speed adjustment signal, and calculates the desired duty cycle of the PWM signal according to the wind speed adjustment signal.
[0324]The control module 32 calculates the PWM signal duty cycle according to the different sliding parameters using different calculation methods, the sliding parameters can include the following: sliding distance: the distance of the user's sliding finger in the touch region; sliding speed: the speed of the user's sliding finger; sliding direction: the direction of the user's sliding finger (e.g., up and down, left and right); sliding position: the start position and end position of the user's sliding finger in the touch area.
[0325]In this case, the specific steps for calculating the duty cycle with the sliding distance as the main parameter are as follows:
[0326]When the user starts sliding on the touch area, the starting position is recorded. When the user ends sliding on the touch area, the end position is recorded. The distance between the starting position and the ending position is used as the sliding distance. For example, if the starting position is P1 and the ends position is P2, the sliding distance D can be expressed as D=P2−P1, define the maximum distance Dmax that the user may slide on the touch area, compare the actual sliding distance D with the maximum sliding distance Dmax, calculate the sliding distance as a percentage R, and make sure that R is between 0 and 1. Set the minimum and maximum values of the PWM signal duty cycle. For example, the minimum value is 0% and the maximum value is 100%. According to the sliding distance duty ratio, calculate the corresponding PWM signal duty ratio according to the correspondence, and output a PWM control signal according to the PWM signal duty ratio send the generated PWM control signal to the drive module 33 to adjust the rotational speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 34 to achieve a change in the wind speed.
[0327]In this case, the specific steps for calculating the duty cycle with sliding time as the main parameter are as follows:
[0328]When the user slides on the touch area, the touch control module 311 detects the sliding action and records the start and end times of the sliding. The touch control module 311 transmits the sliding time to the control module 32, which calculates the normalized sliding time based on the sliding time and generates a corresponding PWM duty cycle.
[0329]The control module 32 sends the PWM signal to the driver module 33, which controls the rotational speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 34 by adjusting the switching frequency and duty cycle of the switch tube.
[0330]In this case, the specific steps for calculating the duty cycle with the click position as the main parameter are as follows:
[0331]When the user clicks a position on the touch control module 311, the touch control module 311 detects the coordinates of the click position (e.g., X, Y coordinates), and the touch control module 311 generates a wind speed adjustment signal by using the coordinates of the click position as a click parameter. According to the click position, the control module 32 calculates the desired duty cycle of the PWM signal. For example, the touch area is divided into a plurality of zones, each corresponding to a different wind speed gear. Assuming that the touch area of the touch control module 311 is divided into five equal regions, clicking on each region corresponds to a wind speed gear: region 1 (leftmost) is a low wind speed gear, region 2 (middle) is a medium wind speed gear, and region 5 (rightmost) is a high wind speed gear, and when the user clicks on the rightmost side of the touch region (region 5), the touch module 311 detects the click position coordinates and generates the corresponding wind speed adjustment signal. The control module 32 receives the wind speed adjustment signal and calculates the duty cycle of the PWM signal required for the corresponding high wind speed gear according to the click position (area 5). The control module 32 generates the PWM control signal and sends it to the driver module 33, which adjusts the rotational speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 34 to the high wind speed gear by controlling the conduction time of the upper bridge arm switch tube and the lower bridge arm switch tube.
[0332]As an embodiment, the touch control module 311 may use a touch-slide adjustment chip that contains a plurality of contacts, and when the user operates the fan via the touch screen, the touch-slide adjustment chip detects a touch action via these contacts. If pressure from the touch action is detected, the touch control module 311 generates a switch signal. The touch-sliding adjustment chip transmits the switch signal to the control module 32, which receives the switch signal and generates a switch control signal for controlling the switch tubes in the drive module 33 to start or stop the high-speed three-phase motor 34, i.e., to turn the fan on or off. In addition to detecting the touch action, the touch-sliding adjustment chip is also capable of detecting the user's sliding parameters on the touch screen, including the sliding gesture, the sliding distance, the sliding speed, the number of slides, and the sliding time. These parameters are transmitted to the control module 32 through the touch module 311, and the control module 32 generates a corresponding PWM control signal according to a preset logic to regulate the wind speed of the portable fan. The control module 32 generates a corresponding PWM control signal according to the sliding parameters, and the PWM control signal is used to control the switch tubes in the drive module 33 to regulate the rotational speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 34 to adjustment of the wind speed.
[0333]Among other things, the touch-sliding adjustment chip has a plurality of contacts, and when the user performs a touch-sliding operation on the contacts, the chip detects the touch action and the sliding parameters (such as the sliding distance and the sliding speed). The sliding parameters detected by the chip include the distance and speed at which the user slides on the touch screen, and these parameters reflect the degree to which the user wishes to adjust the wind speed. According to the detected sliding parameters, the touch sliding adjustment chip generates the wind speed adjustment control signal, the control module receives the wind speed adjustment control signal, according to the size of the signal to calculate the duty cycle of the corresponding PWM signal, the higher the duty cycle, the higher the speed of the motor; the lower the duty cycle, the lower the speed of the motor, the control module will be generated by the PWM signal sent to the drive module, the drive module to control the speed of the motor. The control module sends the generated PWM signal to the driver module, which controls the speed of the motor. By adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal, it can achieve precise control of the motor speed, and thus regulate the air speed of the fan.
[0334]As an example, as shown in
[0335]The technical effect of this implementation is: compared with the traditional portable fan only a mechanical switch to control the gear in a single way, through the touch module to achieve a more diversified control mode, the user can not only through a simple touch switch fan, but also through the sliding operation of the flexible adjustment of the wind speed, the application of the touch sliding adjustment chip makes the operation of the fan is more convenient, intuitive, the user does not need to repeatedly press the mechanical switch, just through the touch and slide can easily control the fan switch and wind speed, improve the user's operational efficiency and user experience. Users do not need to repeatedly press the mechanical switch, just through the touch and slide can easily control the fan switch and wind speed, improving the user's operating efficiency and experience.

[0348]Among other things, the voice acquisition module 321 is responsible for capturing the user's voice signals, usually comprising a microphone, for converting the user's voice input into the form of electrical signals. The voice recognition module 322 converts the captured voice signals into switching signals and wind speed adjustment control signals, and uses speech recognition algorithms and techniques to process the speech signals into recognizable signal instructions, which can be parsed and executed by the subsequent control module 32. Specifically, the speech recognition module 322 pre-processes the captured speech signals, including signal amplification, filtering, and denoising, to ensure the accuracy and stability of subsequent processing. The pre-processed speech signal is converted into digitized feature vectors, this step can be done using techniques such as MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients) to extract features from the speech signal. Train a voice recognition model based on a large amount of labeled speech data. Based on a large amount of labeled speech data, a speech recognition model is trained. Commonly used techniques include Hidden Markov Models (HMM), Deep Learning Models (e.g. Recurrent Neural Networks RNN, Long Short-Term Memory Networks LSTM), etc., where the feature vectors are fed into the speech recognition model for recognition and decoding, and the model maps the sequence of feature vectors to a sequence of instructions, and then output the decoded instructions. The voice type can be to indicate the fan on or off, e.g.: turn on the fan corresponds to 0x01, turn off the fan corresponds to 0x02. The voice type can be to indicate the speed adjustment of the fan, e.g.: increase the wind speed corresponds to 0x03, decrease the wind speed corresponds to 0x04. The voice type can be a specific wind speed level, and the wind speed level can be set directly. For example, low speed corresponds to 0x10, medium speed corresponds to 0x11, and high speed corresponds to 0x12. In addition, other words may be used to replace the above mentioned switching on the fan, switching off the fan, increasing the wind speed, and decreasing the wind speed. The signal output from the voice module 312 may be a single-byte or multi-byte packet, depending on the complexity of the instructions and the design of the system. For example, the single-byte signal may be 0x01 (indicating switching on the fan), and the multi-byte signal may be 0x01 0x02 (indicating switching on the fan and setting to the second level of air speed).
[0349]As an example, the user says “turn on the fan”, the voice control module 312 recognizes the command and generates the signal 0x01, which the voice control module 312 sends to the control module 32, and the user says “turn up the air speed”, the voice control module 312 recognizes the command and generates the signal 0x01, which the voice control module 312 sends to the control module 32. The user says “turn up the wind speed”, the voice control module 312 recognizes the instruction and generates the signal 0x03, the voice control module 312 sends the signal 0x03 to the control module 32. The user says “adjust the wind speed to medium speed”, the voice control module 312 recognizes the instruction and generates the signal 0x11, the voice control module 312 sends the signal 0x11 to the control module 32.
[0350]As an example, as shown in

[0355]As an example, as shown in
[0356]The technical effect of this embodiment is that, by means of the amplifier module, it can ensure that the voice signal is not lost or distorted during transmission, and can drive the speaker at a sufficient volume so that the user can clearly hear the result of the voice output.
[0357]As an embodiment, as shown in
[0358]In particular, the voice recognition service and remote control function of the cloud server 37 can be utilized through networking to further enhance the recognition accuracy and flexibility of the system. The specific steps are as follows: the user's voice signal is captured using a microphone, the voice signal is transmitted to the networking module 36 through analogue-to-digital conversion, the networking module 36 uploads the captured voice signal to the cloud server 37 for voice recognition service, and the cloud server 37 converts the voice signal into a switching signal and a wind speed adjusting control signal, and returns it to the networking module 36. The networking module 36 sends the switching signal and the wind speed adjustment control signal returned from the cloud to the control module 32, which generates the corresponding control signal. The control module 32 provides other switching instructions based on voice commands, such as “turn on the fan” or “turn off the fan”, or other switching commands can be customized to increase ease of use and interest, such as possible customized switching commands:
[0359]For example, possible custom switch commands: “turn on the fan”, “turn off the fan”, “start blowing the fan”, “I'm hot, turn on the fan”, etc., can be customized according to the user's habits and preferences to continue to expand these commands and improve the interactive experience. The control module 32 calculates the duty cycle of the corresponding PWM signal and generates a PWM control signal according to the voice command, such as “adjust the wind speed up” or “adjust the wind speed down”. The driver module 33 drives the motor according to the received switch control signal and PWM control signal to control the fan on/off and wind speed adjustment.

[0361]As an embodiment, as shown in
[0362]The incremental PID control algorithm is specifically used in this embodiment to generate the PWM signal to improve the smoothness of the PWM signal and the accuracy of the motor speed regulation, which can be achieved by the following steps: the incremental PID control algorithm adjusts the amount of control by calculating the errors of the current and the previous times, so as to achieve the accurate control of the system, which includes the proportional (P), the integral (I) and the differential (D)Three parts: Example control (P): proportional adjustment of current error; Integral control (I): cumulative adjustment of past errors; Differential control (D): adjustment of the rate of change of current error. Initialize the PWM module and timer, set the parameters required by the PID control algorithm (like the proportional coefficient Kp, the integral coefficient Ki, the differential coefficient Kd), and acquire the sensor data, and the rpm measurement module 35. The rpm measurement module 35 can be a magnetic encoder or a Hall sensor, real-time measurement of the motor's rotational speed, and feedback the rpm to the control module 32. The control module 32 based on the set target rotational speed and the actually measured rotational speed. And calculates the current error, calculates an incremental control amount based on the current error, and further adjusts the PWM duty cycle, finally outputs a PWM signal to control the rotational speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 34.
[0363]The technical effect of this embodiment is that: the PID control algorithm adjusts the control amount according to the error, can accurately track the set value, so that the motor speed is rapidly stabilized near the target value, the PID control algorithm responds quickly to the error change, can adjust the PWM signal in time when the load changes, to ensure the flexibility and accuracy of the wind speed adjustment, and over the PID control algorithm to accurately adjust the PWM control signal. The PID control algorithm can precisely adjust the PWM control signal, so that the wind speed can be smoothly transitioned.
[0364]As an embodiment, the control module 32 detects a change in the operating voltage and maintains the operating voltage within a constant voltage range by boosting or bucking the voltage.
[0365]When the control module 32 detects a change in the operating voltage, in order to maintain the stability of the motor operation, the control module 32 may regulate the operating voltage to a preset constant voltage range by means of a boost or buck circuit. The control module 32 continuously monitors the input voltage and triggers the voltage regulation mechanism when it detects that the voltage deviates from the preset range (e.g., 6-8.4 V). The control module 32 controls a boost or buck converter. For example, when the input voltage falls below the set range, the control module 32 enables a boost circuit to raise the voltage to within the set range. Conversely, when the input voltage is higher than the set range, the control module 32 enables the buck circuit to reduce the voltage to within the set range. Through the feedback loop, the control module 32 is able to adjust the degree of boosting or bucking in real time to ensure that the output voltage is constant within the preset range.
[0366]As an embodiment, the control module 32 detects a change in the operating current and maintains the operating current within a constant current range by adjusting the PWM control signal.
[0367]When the control module 32 detects a change in the operating current, it keeps the current within a constant range by adjusting the PWM (pulse width modulation) control signal. The control module 32 continuously monitors the operating current of the motor. When the current is detected to deviate from a preset range (e.g., 0.12-1 A), the current adjustment mechanism is triggered. The control module 32 changes the input power of the motor by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal. For example, when the current is detected to be below the preset range, the PWM duty cycle is increased to increase the input power and increase the current. Conversely, when the current is higher than the preset range, the PWM duty cycle is decreased, the input power is decreased, and the current is decreased. Through feedback from the current sensor, the control module 32 adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal in real time to ensure that the operating current remains within a constant range.
[0368]As an embodiment, when the control module 32 detects a change in the operating power, it maintains the operating power stable by adjusting the operating voltage or the operating current.
[0369]The control module 32 continuously monitors the operating power of the motor (P=V×I) and triggers the power adjustment mechanism when the power is detected to deviate from the set value. By controlling the boost or buck converter, the input voltage is adjusted to restore the power to the set value. For example, when the power is lower than the set value, increase the input voltage to increase the power; when the power is higher than the set value, decrease the input voltage to decrease the power. By adjusting the PWM signal, the current is changed to restore the power to the set value. For example, when the power is lower than the set value, increase the PWM duty cycle, raise the current, and increase the power; when the power is higher than the set value, decrease the PWM duty cycle, lower the current, and decrease the power. Through the control signal feedback, the control module 32 adjusts the voltage or current in real time to ensure that the operating power remains within a constant range.
[0370]In the above embodiment, the control module monitors the motor's voltage, current, and power in real-time. Through corresponding adjustments, it ensures stable operation under various conditions, improving efficiency and performance. This guarantees the portable fan's reliability and stability in different environments.
[0371]For the driving module 33, as shown in

[0373]The first bridge arm includes the first upper bridge arm switch tube 341 and the second lower bridge arm switch tube 342, with the midpoint connected to the first coil 351. The second bridge arm includes the third upper bridge arm switch tube 343 and the fourth lower bridge arm switch tube 344, with the midpoint connected to the second coil 352. The third bridge arm includes the fifth upper bridge arm switch tube 345 and the sixth lower bridge arm switch tube 346, with the midpoint connected to the third coil 353, forming six circuits. Each circuit consists of switch tubes and coils. The control module 32 controls each circuit to be switched on one by one through switch control signals to drive the motor to start running. The control module 32 generates the switch control signals based on received switch signals, which are used to control each circuit one by one. The switch tubes in each bridge arm are switched on one by one according to control of the switch control signals, so as to drive phase coils of each motor through current. As the switch tubes in each bridge arm are gradually switched on, current flows through corresponding phase coils, and the motors begin to rotate. Gradually switching on the six circuits means starting each motor phase in the fan in sequence, thereby starting the entire fan system. Specifically, the switch tubes of each circuit in the six circuits are sequentially switched on to make each circuit switched on. The first circuit to the sixth circuit are sequentially switched on, the fan rotates forward, the sixth circuit to the first circuit are sequentially conductive, and the fan rotates in reverse.
[0374]The control module 32 receives the wind speed regulation control signal and generates a PWM control signal, which for each circuit is used to regulate its corresponding switching tube and hence the speed of the motor.
[0375]As an embodiment, the control module also controls the conduction time of the switching tubes in each circuit by means of a PWM control signal to regulate the rotational speed of the motor.
[0376]The control module receives wind speed adjustment control signals from the touch control module or the voice control module that contain user instructions for adjusting the fan speed. The control module 32 generates a corresponding pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal based on the wind speed adjustment control signal, and the duty cycle (i.e., the ratio of the duration of the high level to the entire cycle) of the PWM signal directly corresponds to the desired fan speed. The control module 32 applies the generated PWM control signals to the two switching tubes in each loop as follows: The switching tubes in each loop perform switching operations according to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. At a high level, the switching tube conducts; at a low level, the switching tube turns off. By adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the conduction time of the switching tubes in each circuit is controlled, thus regulating the current flowing through the motor coil. The speed of the motor is directly proportional to the strength of the current in the motor coil. By adjusting the conduction time of the switching tubes in each circuit, the control module 32 is able to accurately control the current of the high-speed three-phase motor 34, thereby regulating the speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 34. By gradually increasing or decreasing the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the rotational speed of the fan can be accelerated or decelerated, which achieves the regulation of the fan air speed.
[0377]The technical effect of this embodiment is that: the control module generates a corresponding PWM control signal according to the received wind speed adjustment control signal, and the duty cycle of the PWM signal directly determines the conduction time of the switching tubes in each circuit, which in turn controls the current of the motor coils, and thus the motor rotational speed can be accurately adjusted by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal.
[0378]As an embodiment, the portable fan further includes an energy return circuit, the energy return circuit connects the control module, the motor, and the energy storage unit, and when the control module detects a decrease in the PWM duty cycle, it controls the energy return circuit to start working, and the reverse electromotive force generated when the motor decelerates is converted into electrical energy through the rectifier circuit and stored in the energy storage unit. The energy recovery circuit includes a rectifier circuit, an energy storage unit, and a control switch, and after receiving the energy feedback signal, the control switch conducts, converting the kinetic energy of the motor into electrical energy through the rectifier circuit and storing it in the super capacitor or battery.
[0379]As an example, the portable fan is running at a high speed, at which time the user reduces the wind speed or stops the fan by means of the input module, and the control module detects the wind speed adjustment signal or the switch signal and reduces the duty cycle of the PWM signal to slow down the motor. The control module generates an energy return signal to control the energy recovery circuit to start. The reverse electromotive force generated when the motor decelerates is converted into electrical energy through the rectifier circuit, and the converted electrical energy is stored in the super capacitor or battery. When the fan starts again, the control module detects the start signal and controls the energy storage unit to release electrical energy to power the motor, reducing the consumption of external power.
[0380]The technical effects of this implementation are: through energy recovery, kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy storage when the fan decelerates or stops, reducing energy waste; reducing the dependence on external power supply, extending the use time of the battery, and improving the endurance of the portable fan; and the user can enjoy a more stable and long-lasting adjustment of the wind speed in the process of using the fan, and improve the overall experience of using the fan.

[0384]The user sends commands to the voice control module 312 to turn on or turn off the touch control module 311 through voice instructions, and the voice control module 312 transmits these commands to the control module 32. The user sends commands to the voice control module 312 to switch the fan on or off through voice instructions, and the voice control module 312 generates the switching signals according to the user's commands and transmits them to the control module 32. When the touch control module 311 is enabled, the user enters commands to adjust the wind speed to the touch control module 311 through a touch operation (e.g., sliding or clicking), the touch control module 311 generates a fan speed adjustment control signal based on the user's operation and transmits it to the control module 32, which enables or disables the touch control module 311 based on the command from the voice control module 312, and when the touch control module 311 is disabled, all the touch operations do not generate a fan speed adjustment control signal, thus avoiding misoperation. After receiving the switch signal, the control module 32 generates a switch control signal for controlling the fan on or off. After the control module 32 receives the wind speed adjustment control signal, it calculates the corresponding duty cycle of the PWM signal and generates a PWM control signal for controlling the speed of the motor.

[0397]The technical effect of this embodiment is that the portable fan not only provides diversified control methods and intelligent functions, but also significantly improves the user's comfort experience and ease of operation, and meets a variety of needs in different use scenarios.
[0398]It should be noted that all the input, output and control functions in a portable fan can be integrated into a single chip or integrated circuit, and this integration can simplify the design and manufacturing process of the system, reduce the number of components and space occupation, and at the same time potentially reduce the cost and power consumption.
[0399]The sixth embodiment provides a portable fan based on a high-speed three-phase motor comprising at least a hand-held fan for hand-held use, a desktop fan for portable and desktop-ready use, or a neck-type fan for neck-type use.
[0400]The seventh embodiment.
[0401]The seventh embodiment provides a method of controlling a portable fan based on the portable fan provided in the Example, as shown in
[0402]Step S101: controls the operating voltage of the high-speed three-phase motor to be from 2 to 18 volts, controls the operating current of the high-speed three-phase motor to be from 0.1 to 10 amps, and/or controls the rated operating power of the high-speed three-phase motor to be from 0.5 to 100 watts.
[0403]Step S102: control the rated operating speed of the high-speed three-phase motor through the drive module according to the operating voltage, operating current and/or rated operating power control to reduce the high rotational noise of the high-speed three-phase motor and control the wind speed to be in a preset wind speed interval.
- [0405]Step S111: Obtain a wind speed adjustment control signal;
- [0406]Step S112: Convert the wind speed adjustment control signal into a PWM control signal;
- [0407]Step S113: the switching tubes of each bridge arm are controlled by the PWM control signal to regulate the rotational speed of the motor.
- [0409]Step S201: Acquire the switching signal;
- [0410]Step S202: Convert the switch signal into a switch control signal;
- [0411]Step S203: the switching tubes of each bridge arm are controlled by the switching control signal to drive the motor to start operation or stop operation.
[0412]The switch signal and the wind speed adjustment control signal are control signals generated according to the user's instructions, and the touch signal and the adjustment signal generated by the user through touch or other means can be directly converted into the switch control and the PWM control signal, and the switch signal can be the user's switching operation, such as the command to turn on or turn off the fan; and the wind speed adjustment control signal is used for adjusting the rotational speed of the fan, which is usually generated by the user's manual operation or other control methods.
[0413]Wherein the switching signal is processed and converted into a switching control signal capable of controlling the bridge arm switching tube, which is used to start or stop the operation of the motor. The wind speed regulation control signal is processed to calculate the duty cycle of the corresponding PWM (pulse width modulation) control signal, and the PWM control signal is used to regulate the rotational speed of the motor, which is controlled by adjusting the on-time of the switching tubes of each bridge arm.
[0414]Wherein, based on the switching control signal, the drive module will turn on or off the switching tube of each bridge arm accordingly, thereby starting or stopping the operation of the motor. Meanwhile, according to the calculated PWM control signal, the drive module adjusts the operating period and duty cycle of the switching tubes of each bridge arm to control the rotational speed and power output of the motor.
[0415]As an embodiment, when the input module is a touch control module, converting the wind speed adjustment control signal into a PWM control signal comprises:
[0416]Calculate the PWM signal duty cycle according to the wind speed regulation control signal, and generate the PWM control signal according to the PWM signal duty cycle.
[0417]As an embodiment, when the input module is a voice control module, the voice control module captures the voice signal of the user and converts the voice signal into a switch signal and a wind speed adjustment control signal.
[0418]The above two embodiments, which can be seen in particular in the sixth embodiment, will not be repeated here.
[0419]The eighth embodiment, as shown in
[0420]Please refer to
[0421]In this embodiment, in order to meet requirements of different wind speeds in different application scenarios, as shown in
[0422]It can be understood that above technical solutions relates to correlation among the rotational speed of the fan motor 50, the air output speed of the fan motor 50, and the air output speed of the first air outlet 561. Based on the rotational speed of the fan motor 50, the air output speed of the fan motor 50, the air output speed of the first air outlet 561, and related structural relationships between the fan motor 50 and the ventilation channel 56 in the above technical solutions can meet requirements of high-speed air output. Specifically, the wind speed of the airflow out from the fan motor 50 is greater than 12 meters per second, and the wind speed of the airflow out through ventilation channel 56 reaches 4.8 meters per second or more. This wind speed can solve impact of natural wind or surrounding environments on an operation effect of the neck fan 5.
[0423]In addition, the applicant of the present disclosure has found through repeated outdoor experiments, modifications, and trials that when used in hot and humid environments such as outdoors, either user's body temperature or outdoor environment temperature reaches a relatively high value. At this time, high-speed airflow can quickly promote air flowing, thus achieving temperature changes in surrounding environments around the first air outlet 561.
[0424]Specifically, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature of the airflow out from the first air outlet is defined as a first temperature, an air temperature in outside environment is defined as a second temperature, and a temperature of a mixed airflow of the airflow out from the first air outlet and the air in outside environment is defined as a third temperature. It can be understood that the third temperature is the temperature at which the airflow reaches the human body.
[0425]In existing neck fans, semiconductor cooling modules/semiconductor heating modules are arranged inside the neck fans. Semiconductor cooling can cool airflow and blow it back, which is prone to cause facial paralysis; In addition, if semiconductor heating modules are used in winter, it may cause local overheating and affect user's experience.
[0426]In above embodiments, the third temperature is set between the first temperature and the second temperature. By adjusting the temperature of the airflow out from the first air outlet and the air temperature of the outside environment, the temperature of the wind blown towards the human body can be adjusted between the first temperature of the airflow out from the first air outlet and the second temperature of the outside environment, so as to alleviate discomfort caused by local super-cooling or overheating of the blowing area by the high-speed wind of 4 meters per second by the mixed air of the third temperature.
[0427]More preferably, the rotational speed of the fan motor 50 can reach over 40000 revolutions per minute, and the wind speed of the airflow output by fan motor 50 can reach over 15 meters per second and below 20 meters per second. Specifically, the wind speed of the airflow output by the fan motor 50 can be 10 meters per second, 12 meters per second, 14 meters per second, 16 meters per second, 18 meters per second, etc. The wind speed of the airflow out through the ventilation channel 56 can reach 4.4 meters per second, 4.6 meters per second, 4.8 meters per second, 5 meters per second, 5.2 meters per second, 5.4 meters per second, 5.6 meters per second, 10 meters per second, etc. Preferably, the wind speed of the airflow out through the ventilation channel 56 is above 5.6 meters per second.
[0428]In some embodiments, the ratio of the wind speed of the airflow generated by the fan motor 50 to the wind speed output from the first air outlet 561 can be limited to (2-4):1, for example, the wind speed of the airflow generated by the fan motor 50 is greater than 15 meters per second, and the wind speed of the airflow out through the ventilation channel 56 is greater than 4 meters per second.
[0429]As shown in
[0430]The neck fan 5 shown in
[0431]Continuing with
[0432]Specifically, the neck fan 5 includes two ventilation channels 56. There is a first air inlet 562 and a fan motor corresponding to the first air inlet in the ventilation channel 56, as shown in
[0433]In other embodiments, three silencing devices 502 can be installed within a single ventilation channel 56, with two silencing devices 502 positioned between the first air inlet 562 and the fan motor 50. Another silencing device 502 can be installed between the fan motor 50 and the first air outlet 561. The number of the silencing devices 502 can be multiple, and corresponding positions and quantities of the silencing devices 502 can be adjusted as needed.
[0434]As shown in
[0435]It can be understood that the specific number of the silencing devices 502, positions of the silencing devices relative to the fan motor 50, or the specific shape and structure of the silencing devices 502 can be adjusted based on a noise level and requirements.
[0436]As shown in
[0437]In some specific embodiments, the neck fan 5 may not be equipped with a cold compress device 503, as shown in
[0438]In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in
[0439]In other embodiments of the present disclosure, a distance d2 between the silencing device 502 and an air outlet end 542 of the fan motor 50 is 0.1-0.7 times the inner diameter of the motor housing 54.
[0440]The above limits for the distance d1 and the distance d2 can be determined based on a type, a size, and noise requirements of a selected fan. The distance d1 and the distance d2 can be set to be the same or different.
[0441]Specifically, the distance d1 can be any value within a range of 0.1-0.7 times, which includes 0.1 times, 0.15 times, 0.2 times, 0.3 times, 0.4 times, 0.45 times, 0.5 times, 0.6 times, 0.65 times, or 0.7 times the inner diameter of the motor housing 54, etc. It can be understood that except for above times, the distance d1 can be any value within the range of 0.1-0.7 times.
[0442]Furthermore, the distance d2 can be any value within the range of 0.1 times, 0.15 times, 0.2 times, 0.3 times, 0.4 times, 0.45 times, 0.5 times, 0.6 times, 0.65 times, 0.7 times, etc. of the inner diameter of the motor housing 54. It can be understood that in addition to the specific times listed, it can also be any value within the range of 0.1-0.7 times.
[0443]In some specific embodiments, since the fan motor 50 outputs airflow in the high wind speed, accordingly, a corresponding instantaneous wind speed of the air flow generated by fan motor 50 during operation is relatively high, and the airflow will be a jet like instantaneous wind. A portion of the airflow will quickly flow to an end of ventilation channel 56 away from fan motor 50. As shown in
[0444]In order to improve comfort of using the neck fan 5, it is necessary to meet the high-speed and uniform airflow requirements of the neck fan 5. As shown in
[0445]Additionally, the minimum angle a between the air outlet direction F1 of the first air outlet 561 of the ventilation channel 56 and the rotation center axis I of the fan motor 50 is 50°-90°.
[0446]It can be understood that in this technical solution, based on the limitation of the speed of the fan motor 50, the speed of the airflow output by the fan motor 50, and the speed of the airflow out from the first air outlet 561, the minimum angle a between the airflow direction F1 out from the first air outlet 561 of the ventilation channel 56 and the rotation center axis I of the fan motor 50 is further limited to 50°-90°, which defines a technical solution with technical features co-related. Therefore, in this technical solution, the neck fan 5 can provide high-speed and uniform airflow to solve the problem of poor user experience, especially when used outdoors, where the wind speed cannot reach expectations or output airflow is too concentrated.
[0447]Specifically, the minimum angle a between the air outlet direction F1 of the first air outlet 561 of the ventilation channel 56 and the rotation center axis I of the fan motor 50 may be 60°-70°, as shown in
[0448]As shown in
[0449]As shown in
[0450]As shown in
[0451]In this embodiment, in order to meet the demand for air velocity, the ventilation channel 56 can be curved as a whole along the airflow direction. As shown in
[0452]It can be understood that the more the maximum rotation speed of the fan motor 50 is, the more the corresponding wind speed of the airflow output by the fan motor 50 is, and the greater the distance that the high-speed airflow generated by fan motor 50 can spray. Therefore, by setting the ventilation channel 56 in an arc shape and ensuring that the central axis of the ventilation channel 56 is not in a straight line with the rotational axis I of the fan motor 50 is more conducive to uniform air flow, thereby maintaining high air velocity and uniform air flow from the first air outlet 561 of the ventilation channel 56.
[0453]In other embodiments, the ventilation channel 56 may be in a linear shape along the airflow direction, and at this time, the first air outlet 561 is arranged on the side wall of the ventilation channel 56. At this time, the airflow direction F1 out from the first air outlet 561 of the ventilation channel 56 may also be at a certain angle respect to the axial flow direction of the fan motor 50.
[0454]Please continue to refer to
[0455]In some specific embodiments, as shown in
[0456]As shown in
[0457]As shown in
[0458]The ratio of a length of the first air duct 57 along the airflow direction to a length of the air duct boosting section 59 along the airflow direction is (1-10):1. Specifically, the ratio of the length of the first air duct 57 along the airflow direction to the length of the air duct boosting section 59 along the airflow direction is 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 . . . 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1.
[0459]Furthermore, in some specific embodiments, the length of the air duct boosting section 59 is 10 mm-30 mm. Specifically, the length of the air duct boosting section 59 along the airflow direction can also be 15 mm-25 mm. Furthermore, the length of the air duct boosting section 59 along the airflow direction can also be 18 mm-20 mm.
[0460]It can be understood that if the inner wall between the first air duct 57 and the second air duct 58 is smoothly connected, a better airflow output effect can be achieved. As shown in
[0461]Among them, the rotation center axis I of fan motor 50 is aligned with the center axis of the second air duct 58. It can be understood that the inner walls of the second air duct 58, the air duct boosting section 59, and the first air duct 57 can guide the airflow output by the fan motor 50, thereby guiding the airflow output by the fan motor 50 to be blown to a designated position when passing through the ventilation channel 56, which is conducive to more uniform air output at the multiple first air outlets 561 of the ventilation channel 56.
[0462]In some embodiments, the neck fan 5 is a three-phase high-speed axial fan having a high rotation speed, which can increase air output of fan motor 50, and increase an initial velocity of the airflow, thereby greatly improving an air efficiency of the neck fan. At the same time, the three-phase high-speed axial fan has a wider range of wind speed regulation, which can achieve stepless speed regulation of the air output effect, making adaptability of the neck fan more extensive.
[0463]The neck fan 5 provided in the present disclosure adopts the high-speed axial flow fan to improve stable, low-noise, and high-speed airflow. Even after uniform air treatment, it can still maintain a wind speed of over 4.8 meters per second at the first air outlet 561, thereby reducing the impact of natural or other environmental winds on the air output effect. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the use of high-speed and efficient operating fans, optimized fan blade shapes, and appropriate airflow channels can provide strong wind while maintaining uniformity of the wind speed, allowing users to feel a comfortable wind without local strong or unevenness winds. This type of fan is particularly suitable for outdoor activities or high-temperature environments.
[0464]Specifically, as shown in
[0465]It can be understood that in related art, the relationship between an air volume, a wind speed, and a pipeline cross-sectional area (i.e., the sectional area perpendicular to the airflow direction) can be expressed as:
Q=V×A;
[0466]Where, Q represents a maximum air volume generated by fan motor 50, V represents a maximum wind speed of fan motor 50, and A represents a maximum sectional area of the first air duct 57.
[0467]In this embodiment, the wind speed out from fan motor 50 reaches 12-18 meters per second, and the cross-sectional area of the first air duct 57 is 230 to 260 square millimeters, accordingly, an inside volume of the first air duct 57 is 30000 to 40000 cubic millimeters.
[0468]That is, when the area of the maximum sectional area S1 of the first air duct 57 is equivalent to the area of the maximum sectional area S2 of the second air duct 58, the wind speed and the air volume of the airflow flowing in the first air duct 57 and the second air duct 58 are also equivalent.
[0469]As shown in
[0470]It is necessary to avoid unnecessary vortices or noise caused by the different cross-sectional shapes of the second air duct 58 and the first air duct 57 when they are connected. It is prone to form vortex effects at the second air inlet 563 of the first air duct 57 when high-speed wind passes through. Based on
[0471]It can be understood that the transition surface 591 of the air duct boosting section 59 can smoothly connect the inner wall surfaces of the second air duct 58 and the first air duct 57, thereby causing a Coanda effect of the wind. This can increase the pressure of the wind without obstructing its flow, and also reduce the noise due to obstructed airflow.
[0472]Continuing referring to
[0473]Further referring to
[0474]The volume of the main air channel 5711 is larger than that of the auxiliary air channel 5712. There is a spacing between the connecting port between the main air channel 5711 and the auxiliary air channel 5712 and the first air outlet 561, so that during the process of blowing air from the main air channel 5711 to the first air outlet 561, the air is continuously compressed, and the air can be blown out from the first air outlet 561 at a faster speed. Specifically, the spacing is 1 to 3 times the width of the connecting port between the main air channel 5711 and the auxiliary air channel 5712, such as 1.3 times, 1.5 times, 1.8 times, 2 times, etc.
[0475]As shown in
[0476]Please referring to
[0477]Continuing referring to
[0478]Specifically, the width K1 is 4 mm to 7 mm, and the width K2 is 1 mm to 3 mm.
[0479]In some embodiments, a maximum inner diameter a1 is equal to the width K1 of the auxiliary air channel 5712, both of which are used to limit the inlet of the auxiliary air channel 5712. This allows the airflow to gradually increase in pressure and flow out after entering the auxiliary air channel 5712, thereby further improving an airflow output velocity and stability of the first air outlet 561.
[0480]The ratio of the width K2 of the first air outlet 561, the width K1 of the connecting port between the main air channel 5711 and the auxiliary air channel 5712, and the maximum inner diameter T1 of the cross-section perpendicular to the airflow direction of the first air duct is 1:(2-5):(3-10). Specifically, the ratio of the width K2 of the first air outlet 561, the width K1 of the connecting port between the main air channel 5711 and the auxiliary air channel 5712, and the maximum inner diameter T1 of the cross-section perpendicular to the airflow direction of the first air duct can be 1:2:3, 1:3:5, or 1:4:8.
[0481]The purpose of setting the relevant ratios is to have the wind pressure gradually increase during the process of having the wind to enter the auxiliary air channel 5712 from the main air channel 5711 and then be blown out from the first air outlet 561 under the premise of having the same air volume passing through since sizes of the air channel and the air outlets are gradually decreased.

[0491]Please referring to
[0492]It can be understood that the main noise of the neck fan 5 that can provide high-speed wind in the present disclosure comes from the fan motor 50 that generates high-speed airflow during high-speed operation. As shown in
[0493]The high-speed three-phase motor has a higher rotational speed, and the initial velocity of the airflow output by fan motor 50 is higher, resulting in better air output effect.
[0494]In the above embodiment, as shown in
[0495]Continuing referring to
[0496]As shown in
[0497]As shown in
[0498]Further combining with
[0499]The use of impeller 501 with above-mentioned outer diameter ranges can meet needs of miniaturized of the fan motor 50 and maintain high-speed and stable operation of the fan motor 50.
[0500]As shown in
[0501]Continuing referring to
[0502]Since the first bearing 532 is made of metal and has a higher physical strength, it can provide stronger support for the high-speed three-phase motor 53. At the same time, the support strength of the first bearing 532 is higher, which can avoid the problem of damage and breakage of the fan casing 54 due to an excessive force when the high-speed three-phase motor 53 rotates at high speed, thereby prolonging the service life of the fan module. At the same time, the arrangement of the first bearing 532 shortens the length of the motor housing 54, which shortens the torque when the motor housing 54 is subjected to a force. It allows the first baring 532 to bear a greater force from the high-speed three-phase motor 53, making the rotation of the high-speed three-phase motor 53 more stable and the air output efficiency higher.
[0503]In some embodiments, the high-speed three-phase motor 53 further includes a coil 535 and a magnetic ring 534. The magnetic ring 534 is mounted on the motor housing 54 and the first bearing 532, the high-speed three-phase motor 53 is mounted on the magnetic ring 534, and the magnetic ring 534 is mounted on the coil 535. In this embodiment, an accommodating chamber is provided on the fan blade 52, and the inner surface of the accommodating chamber is fitted onto the coil 535. When the high-speed three-phase motor 53 rotates, the coil 535 drives the magnetic ring 534 to rotate, and then the magnetic ring 534 drives the fan blade 52 to rotate. During this process, the rotating shaft 531 no longer provides a driving force for the fan blade 52 like traditional motors, but plays a role in stabilizing and fixing the fan blade 52. Under such rotation manner, since an area of a turning force acted on the fan blade 52 by the magnetic ring 534 is larger, the inertia moment of the fan blade 52 is less, which can enable the fan blade 52 to rotate at a high speed and stably. As shown in
[0504]The coil 535 is in interference fit with the motor housing 54, the magnetic ring 534 is magnetically coupled with the coil 535, and the motor shell 533 is in interference fit with the rotating shaft 531. During the rotation of the magnetic ring 534 and the coil 535, the magnetic ring 534 rotates in a suspended manner, which causes less physical friction compared to traditional motors. Therefore, it can further increase the rotation speed of the high-speed three-phase motor 53.
[0505]In some embodiments, the connection between the coil 535 and the motor housing 54 is not limited to interference fit. Depending on specific application scenarios, the connection method between the coil 535 and the motor housing 54 can also include (but is not limited to) fixed methods such as adhesive bonding, welding, riveting, and screw connections.
[0506]In some embodiments, the connection between the motor shell 533 and the rotating shaft 531 is not limited to interference fit. Depending on specific application scenarios, the connection method between the motor shell 533 and the shaft 531 can also include (but is not limited to) fixed methods such as adhesive bonding, welding, riveting, and screw connections.
[0507]Furthermore, as shown in
[0508]Referring further to
[0509]As shown in
[0510]As shown in
[0511]Furthermore, referring to
[0512]Specifically, as shown in
[0513]The arrangement of the fan blades 52, as well as the limitation of the outer diameter size of the hub 51 and the impeller 501, can make flow of wind generated by the fan motor 50 along the rotation axis of the fan motor 50 more uniform. The fan motor 50 is in a streamlined shape, which can make the flow of the wind generated by fan motor 50 more uniform and further reduce the noise generated by fan motor 50 during operation.
[0514]It can be understood that the limitations on the outer diameter size and shape of the hub 51 can further have a significant impact on the wind speed, air volume, and other factors of the airflow generated by the fan motor 50. Specifically, the hub 51 is formed by the superposition of a cylindrical segment and a conical segment, the fan blades 52 partially located on the cylindrical segment and partially located on the conical segment, which can not only ensure a high wind speed and a high volume but also improve the stability of the fan blades 52 during operation to achieve better performance.
[0515]Continuing referring to
[0516]In some embodiments, as shown in
[0517]In some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, since the speed of the fan motor 50 can reach over 30000 revolutions per minute, and the wind speed output through the ventilation channel 56 reaches over 4.8 meters per second, noise of the neck fan 5 is the main problem that needs to be solved in the present disclosure. The noise is mainly concentrated in the second air duct 58 that houses the high-speed three-phase motor 53. In order to reduce the discomfort caused by the noise to the user, it is necessary to control the noise related to the second air duct 58 below 75 db, or even below 65 db. A noise pressure inside the second air duct 58 is generated by structures such as the fan blades 52 and the high-speed three-phase motor 53. Therefore, in order to reduce noise, as shown in
[0518]Furthermore, in order to reduce specific high-frequency noise generated by operation of the fan motor 50, it is necessary to further adjust the internal structures of the fan motor 50.
[0519]As shown in
[0520]As shown in
[0521]It can be understood that based on different models of the high-speed three-phase motor 53 or the neck fan 5, requirements on noise are different. In other specific embodiments, the silencing devices 502 may be installed only on one side adjacent to the first air inlet 562 or the second air outlet 564.

[0535]The high-speed three-phase motor 53 is driven in a voltage range of 3 volts to 4.5 volts, suitable for power supply of two batteries connected in series, with a working current range of 0.25 amps to 1.8 amps, ensuring stable operation at different speeds, and a power range of 0.8 watts to 9 watts, meeting power requirements of portable fans.

The control module 504 can accurately control the speed of the fan motor, with an adjustment range of 15,000-41,000 revolutions per minute. Its speed can also be above 41,000 revolutions per minute, such as 42,000 revolutions per minute or 45,000 revolutions per minute. The drive module 505 converts DC power of 3-4.5 volts into three-phase AC power, and drives the high-speed three-phase motor 53 through inverter technologies. The battery uses two batteries connected in series to provide a stable voltage. The number of pole pairs for the fan is 4, the number of slots is 9, the number of fan blades is 5, and the number of guide vanes/fan blades is 9.
[0536]Specifically, the high-speed three-phase motor 53 can be driven with 3 volts, 3.2 volts, 3.5 volts, 3.7 volts, 4.3 volts or 4.5 volts, suitable for power supply of two batteries connected in series, and a working current range can be 0.25 amps, 0.4 amps, 0.5 amps, 0.6 amps, 0.8 amps, 1.0 amps, 1.2 amps, 1.4 amps, 1.6 amps, or 1.8 amps, ensuring stable operation at different speeds.

[0537]The high-speed three-phase motor 53 adopts FOC (Field Oriented Control) control, also known as vector control, which is a variable frequency drive control method for three-phase brushless DC motors by controlling an amplitude and a frequency of an output voltage of a frequency converter.
[0538]FOC control divides a sine wave stator current into a magnetic field component current parallel to the magnetic field and a torque component current perpendicular to the magnetic field, namely a direct axis current and a quadrature axis current, and controls the two currents to achieve precise control of motor speed and steering.
[0539]By adopting FOC control, the high-frequency vibration generated during the operation of high-speed three-phase motor 53 can be reduced. Therefore, by accurately controlling the control module 504, the drive module 505, and the high-speed three-phase motor 53, the vibration frequency of the fan motor 50 can be effectively adjusted to prevent human ears from capturing high-frequency sounds, thereby further improving the comfort of the neck fan.
