Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Technical field> The present invention relates to a so-called wall-mounted fan that is installed on a wall, and includes a base that is fixed to the wall, a support that is erected on the base, and This invention relates to a wall-mounted electric fan comprising a fan motor supported by the support, a fan fixed to the fan motor, and an operating string suspended from the base for controlling the operation of the fan motor. <Prior Art and Background> Generally, a wall fan is installed at a relatively high location in a room, and by blowing air from overhead, there is no need for a space on the floor to set up the fan.

However, although the conventional wall-mounted electric fan has the function of an air blower (for example, it is used as a circulator by taking advantage of the fact that it is located at a high place in the room), it has no other function than that of an air blower.

Therefore, it is conceivable to add the function of a lighting device to a wall-mounted fan as a function other than that of a fan. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric fan to which a lighting device function is added, which is the premise of an embodiment of the present invention.

In this FIG. 1, 1 is the base of the electric fan body, and this base 1 is formed of a top plate 2 and a bottom plate 3.
A support 4 is installed on the base 1, and a drive unit 5 with a built-in fan motor is installed on the upper end of the support 4 via a neck piece, and a fan 7 covered with a protective frame 6 is attached to the drive shaft of the fan motor. It is worn. An operating section 10 equipped with a speed adjustment knob 8, a lighting device 9, etc. is disposed on the upper plate 2, and operating strings 11a and 10b for switching and operating each operating mechanism of the operating section 10 are led out from the base 1. There is. And the bottom plate 3
It is configured to be locked to the wall surface 12 by a locking mechanism provided at.

In such a wall-mounted fan, which is the premise of the embodiment of the present invention, an operation string is provided so that when the fan is installed at a high place on the wall, the user does not have to bend his/her hand over the various knobs on the operation section. However, it is necessary to provide the number of operating strings according to the required operating mechanism, and there are drawbacks such as the provision of a large number of operating strings is undesirable from the viewpoint of operability and design.

<Purpose> The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology. One of the operating strings is formed of a cylindrical body, and a switch for a lighting device, etc. is led out by passing through the cylindrical body. The purpose is to improve operability and design, as if a single operating string had been derived.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a base of the electric fan body. Inside the base 21, a speed adjustment mechanism 22 is provided below and a lighting device 23 is provided above. An operation knob 25 of the speed adjustment mechanism 22 is provided on the upper plate 24 of the base 21. A transparent cover 26 of the lighting device 23 is provided. An operating lever 28 having a through hole 27 is provided on the back side of the speed adjustment mechanism 22, and has a knob 29 in the through hole 27 and is connected to the base 2.
Hollow cylindrical operating member 3 led out from the bottom surface of 1
0 is locked. The lighting device 23 has a hemispherical shade 31 and a lamp 32, and a connecting wire 33 for electricity connected to the lamp 32 is connected to the shade 31 through a suspension piece 34 provided integrally with the shade 31, and is operated into a cylindrical shape with sufficient play. The lamp 3 is led out through the member 30, and the lamp 3 is provided at the leading end.
A changeover switch 35 is provided to turn ON/OFF the power supply to 2.

According to the present invention configured in this manner, when the knob 29 of the cylindrical operating member 30 is pulled downward, the operating lever 28 moves in conjunction with the cylindrical operating member 30, and the speed adjustment mechanism 22 is activated to control the fan. rotation speed can be switched. At this time, since the connecting wire 33 provided through the cylindrical operating member 30 is disposed with sufficient play, the operation of the cylindrical connecting member 30 is not affected.

Next, when switching the illumination device 23, the changeover switch 3 provided through the cylindrical operation member 30 is operated.
By turning on and off 5, the lamp 32 is energized and turned off, and the lighting device is switched.

Note that the cylindrical operating member 30 may be formed of an appropriate material such as metal, synthetic resin, or fiber, taking operability, design, etc. into consideration.

<Effects> According to the present invention, a lighting device is provided in front of the base, a switch for turning the lighting device on and off is suspended from the base with an electric wire, and the operation string is connected to the base in a hollow manner. The electric wire is inserted into the operation cord, and the electric wire led out from the lower end of the operation cord is provided with the changeover switch, so that by operating the changeover switch, the electric fan can be used as a lighting device. It can also be used to add lighting functionality to wall-mounted fans.

In this case, the switch for turning the lighting device on and off is suspended from the base with an electric wire, so even if the wall fan is installed at a high place in the room, you can easily turn the lighting device on and off. operations can be performed. Moreover, the electric wire that hangs the switch of this lighting device is inserted through the operation string of the electric fan, which is formed into a hollow cylinder shape, and is attached to the electric wire led out from the lower end of this operation string, so it can be used as a wall-mounted fan. Even if a lighting function is added, the operating device can appear as if it were a single piece of equipment, resulting in an excellent design, and the operating devices for the electric fan and the lighting device do not become entangled with each other.
