Description

  The present invention relates to a fan with high directivity.

  Conventionally, electric fans have been used to send a breeze to give people a refreshing sensation or to lower the body temperature of sweating people, and are often installed in places such as living rooms where people spend time. The design is designed to be used as indoor equipment, as well as to have good functionality and functionality.

  However, the electric fan has, for example, a swing function of turning the blowing direction to the left and right, and has a certain movement function. However, the design using such a movement function is poor.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fan having improved design by utilizing a movement function of the fan.

  The present invention provides a fan, a fan motor for driving the fan, a fan guard member surrounding the fan, and a swinging motion of the fan, the fan motor and the fan guard member integrally to the left and right. In a fan equipped with a mechanism, a decorative member made of a transparent material having a substantially hemispherical cross section and having two types of liquids having different specific gravities is provided in front of the fan guard member on the side from which air is blown by the fan. It is.

  A fan, a fan motor for driving the fan, a case member surrounding the fan, a louver member provided on the front side of the case member to send out air, and a louver for rotating the louver member In a fan equipped with a motor, a decorative member made of a transparent material having a substantially hemispherical cross section and containing two kinds of liquids having different specific gravities is provided in front of the louver member.

  Further, the decorative member rotates with the rotation of the louver member.

  The decoration member contains a small member made of a material that floats on a liquid having a higher specific gravity than the two types of liquids and sinks in a liquid having a lower specific gravity than the two types of liquids.

  The plane side of the decorative member connected to the substantially hemispherical surface is colored and opaque.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, the decoration member moves with the swinging movement of the fan or the rotation movement of the louver member, so that the two kinds of liquids sealed in the decoration member move irregularly, and as a result, Thus, an effect that high directivity can be obtained is obtained.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a fan according to an embodiment of the present invention. This fan is a so-called living fan and has a swing mechanism.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a fan motor 2 for driving a fan 1 is attached to a column 3 via a connecting means provided with a swing mechanism (not shown because of a well-known configuration). , Is inserted into a sleeve member 5 provided on the pedestal 4. The column 3 can be extended in the vertical direction while being housed in the sleeve member 5, whereby the height of the fan 1 can be changed.

  Further, a fan guard member 6 is provided on the column 3 so as to surround the fan 1 and the fan motor 2. A decoration member 7 having a substantially hemispherical cross section is provided at the center of the front of the fan guard member 6.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the decorative member 7 is formed by attaching a window member 7b made of an approximately hemispherical transparent material to a disk-shaped substrate 7a made of an opaque material. In the enclosed space, two kinds of liquids 7c and 7d having different specific gravities are sealed, and a small member 7e made of a material floating on the liquid 7c having a high specific gravity and sinking in the liquid 7d having a low specific gravity is provided. It is stored.

  Here, in order to produce the decoration member 7, for example, a transparent member having a light blue color is used for the liquid 7c, a colorless and transparent member is used for the liquid 7d, and a bird floating on the water surface is used as the accessory member 7e. By using the above, a frame of a picture of a bird floating on the water surface can appear in the decorative member 7.

  Then, when the fan is operated and the swing mechanism is operated, the fan guard member 6 moves with the movement of the swing mechanism, and the decoration member 7 also moves, so that the fan guard member 6 is enclosed in the decoration member 7 with the movement. The liquids 7c and 7d undulate, vibrate, and make random movements, and the small members 7e floating on the liquid 7c also move in various ways, so that the eyes of the viewer can enjoy the appearance.

  Here, as the material of the liquids 7c and 7d, it is preferable to use a material that does not mix with each other and stabilizes the interface. For example, there are oils that do not have a solvent relationship with each other, or water and oil.

  Further, by drawing a background picture or applying effective coloring to the surface of the substrate 7a facing the window member 7b, the effect can be further enhanced.

  FIG. 3 shows a fan according to another embodiment of the present invention. This fan is a so-called box fan, and has a mechanism for rotating a louver member serving as a blowing port. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  In the figure, a fan 1 and a fan motor 2 for driving the fan 1 are accommodated in a central portion of a housing 10, and a louver member 11 for rectifying the air flow of the fan 1 is provided in a front center of the housing 10. Is provided.

  A decorative member 7 having a substantially hemispherical cross section is provided at the center of the front of the louver member 11. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, a screw 12 is screwed into the substrate 7a of the decorative member 7, and this screw 12 is also screwed into the louver member 11, and further, the louver member 11 is driven to rotate. The louver motor 13 is screwed to the shaft 13a. The support member 14 is for fixing the louver motor 13 to the housing 10.

  That is, the decorative member 7 and the louver member 11 are both screwed to the shaft 13 a of the louver motor 13 by the screw 12, so that the louver member 11 and the decorative member 7 Rotates.

  Therefore, when the fan is operated and the louver motor 13 is driven, the fan 1 starts blowing air and the louver member 11 and the decorative member 7 rotate. As a result, the direction of the air sent from the fan 1 is changed along with the rotation of the louver member 11, and the liquids 7c and 7d sealed in the decorative member 7 are wavy, vibrate, or randomly move. At the same time, the small member 7e floating on the liquid 7c also moves in various ways, so that the eyes of the person watching the state can be enjoyed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the number of the small members 7e stored in the decoration member 7 is one. However, two or more small members 7e can be stored in the decoration member 7. The color of the liquids 7c and 7d to be enclosed, the shape of the small member 7e, and the like can be appropriately changed according to the performance to be exhibited by the decorative member 7.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the decorative member according to the present invention is applied to the living fan and the box fan has been described. However, the decorative member according to the present invention is similarly applied to the fan of any other mode. And can be applied.

  Of course, the decorative member according to the present invention also has a function as a part that can be traded alone.
