Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present application relates to an electric fan that can be divided into an elongated electric equipment case with protruding pillars and a wide base that stably supports the case in order to reduce the volume when packed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cord storage chamber capable of storing a power cord pulled out from the rear side of the electrical equipment case with ease and room.

Conventionally, in electric fans that can be divided into an electrical equipment case and a base, since the electrical equipment case is long and narrow, it is not possible to form a cord storage opening on the rear surface of the case through which the power cord can be easily inserted and removed. The cord was left pulled out from the case. It had become wrinkled when I was carrying it around, not using it, or packing it.

In view of the above points, this proposal specifically forms a cord storage chamber in the inner space under the support of the electric equipment case, and a cord storage chamber is provided in the bottom plate of the electric equipment case, communicating with the cord storage chamber, and extending from the rear side of the case. A cord storage opening is formed to store the power cord to be pulled out, and an opening communicating with the outside of the base is formed in a portion of the base into which the electrical equipment case is fitted, facing the cord storage opening. To provide an electric fan in which a power cord can be stored with ease and ease.

Referring to the drawings below, reference numeral 1 denotes an electrical equipment case for a fan having a support column 2 integrally formed therein, and a bottom plate 4 having a cord storage opening 3 formed therein is attached to the bottom opening of the case. Reference numeral 5 denotes a base, in which the electrical equipment case 1 is fitted into a recess 6 provided on the top surface, and its tip recessed step 7 is engaged with the tip of the recess, and the back surface of the base 5 is The electrical equipment case 1 and the base 5 are connected by inserting a screw 8 and screwing its tip into a screw hole 9 formed in the bottom plate. Reference numeral 10 denotes a partition plate that divides the inside of the electrical equipment case 1 into an electrical component storage chamber 11 and a cord storage chamber 12. An opening/closing lid 14 is integrally formed on the lower edge of the partition plate via a thin hinge part 13, and a partition plate 10 is formed from both sides of the lower edge. Cord guide portions 15, 15 having an L-shaped cross section are provided protrudingly along the side edges of the cord storage opening 3. On the other hand, ribs 16 and 1 are provided on the inner surfaces of both side walls of the electrical equipment case 1, respectively.
6 are provided protrudingly to form guide grooves 17, 17 between the two ribs, and the partition plate 10 is fitted between the two guide grooves, and the switch 1 in the electrical component storage chamber 11 is
After passing the power cord 19 pulled out from the power cord 8 into the one cord guide part 15, the bottom plate 4 is attached to the bottom opening of the electrical equipment case 1, and the bottom plate 4 and the rib 16 connect the cord guide part 15. The partition plate 10 is fixed by sandwiching them. Further, a partition wall 20 is integrally vertically disposed inside the electrical equipment case 1, and the above-mentioned cord storage chamber 12 is formed between this partition wall and the partition plate 10. 4 between the cord guide portions 15, 15.
Both cord guide parts are also completely fixed by pinching the tip side of the cord. Note that this code guide section 15, 15
has an L-shaped cross section, and a passage is formed by this cord insertion portion, the inner surface of the side wall of the electrical equipment case 1, and the bottom plate 4, and the power cord 19 is inserted into this passage.
Since the power cord 19 passes through the cord storage chamber 12, the power cord 19 does not get in the way when the cord is inserted into or taken out from the cord storage chamber 12. Further, the power cord 19 guided to the rear of the electrical equipment case 1 through the passage in the cord guide section 15 is pulled out to the outside through a cord outlet 21 provided on the back side of the case. A lead wire 22 is connected between the switch 18 and a motor (not shown), and is led from a notch 23 provided in the partition plate 10 through the support 2 to the motor side.

On the other hand, the bottom surface of the recess 6 provided in the base has its rear end side 24 raised to prevent the head of the screw 8 from hitting the tabletop surface when the base 5 is placed on a tabletop or the like. At the same time, the rear end side 24 and the lower part on the front end side are connected by an inclined surface 25, and an opening 26 is provided in the inclined surface. The bottom plate 4 of the electrical equipment case also has an inclined surface 27 that matches the recess 6 of the base, and the above-mentioned cord storage opening 3 and the engaging opening 28 of the opening/closing lid are bored in the inclined surface. It is set up. Therefore, both the width of the opening 26 provided in the base and the width of the cord storage port 3 provided in the bottom plate are equal to the width of the opening/closing lid 1.
The opening/closing lid is slightly larger than the width of the base 5, and the opening/closing lid comes out from the bottom of the base 5 through the cord storage opening 3 and the opening 26. Further, the vertical width of the cord storage opening 3 is shorter than the length of the opening/closing lid 14, and the vertical width of the opening 26 is slightly larger than the length of the opening/closing lid 14, so that when the opening/closing lid 14 is closed, the tip side thereof is At this time, a pair of engagement protrusions 29, 29 protruding from the back surface of the opening/closing lid fit into the engagement opening 28 and engage with both side edges thereof.

In the above configuration, when storing the power cord 19 in the cord storage chamber 12, the power cord 19 pulled out from the outlet 21 is routed to the underside of the base 5, and the power cord 19 is inserted into the opening 26 of the base and the bottom plate. The cord is inserted into the cord storage chamber 12 through the cord storage opening 3. In order to avoid damaging the power cord 19 even if the base 5 is placed on a tabletop or the like in this state, a notch 30 is provided at the lower edge of the rear end of the base 5 to allow the power cord 19 to pass through. The opening/closing lid is also provided with a notch 31 so that the opening/closing lid 14 can be closed in the stored state.

As described above, in the present invention, a cord storage opening for storing the power cord is formed on the bottom surface of the electrical equipment case, and an opening opposite to the cord storage opening is formed in the part of the base that fits the electrical equipment case. The power cord can be easily stored in the cord storage chamber through the cord storage opening when the case and the base are separated, and can be easily stored in the cord storage chamber through the opening when the case and the base are combined. ,
It is easy to use and has great practical effects.
