Description

Vertical electric fan with dual-axis swing function

This new model relates to an electrical product, particularly focusing on the field of air circulation equipment such as electric fans.

Electric fans have been a necessity in homes and workplaces for many years, providing a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to cool and circulate air. Traditional electric fans usually consist of a motor driving a set of blades to circulate air. Fans may be fixed, or they may oscillate in a single plane (usually horizontal) to cover a wider area.

However, the air circulation provided by these conventional fans is typically limited to a specific area or direction. This limitation is due to the single-axis oscillation mechanism used by these fans. Single-axis oscillation allows the fan to move in one plane, usually from side to side, which limits the area covered by the air circulation. This limitation often results in uneven cooling and air circulation, especially in larger rooms or spaces.

Additionally, another limitation of traditional fans is their reliance on a continuous power supply. In the event of a power outage, these fans will stop functioning, leaving the user without the ability to cool or circulate air. This reliance on a continuous power supply limits the versatility and reliability of these fans.

Additionally, traditional fans often lack advanced features such as ambient lighting or intelligent temperature control. These features can enhance the user experience by providing additional functionality and convenience.

Therefore, how to solve the above problems is something that people with general knowledge in this field should consider.

To solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a vertical electric fan that provides enhanced air circulation through a dual-axis swing and has a user-friendly control interface. To achieve the above and other purposes, the present invention discloses a vertical electric fan having a dual-axis swing mechanism and a control panel for independently controlling the swing and speed. The vertical electric fan has multiple components and functions, including a base and a fan assembly. The fan assembly consists of a motor, multiple blades and a blade guard.

In the above-mentioned vertical electric fan, the motor is a standard motor configured to rotate aerodynamically designed blades to achieve efficient air circulation. For example, the motor can be a DC motor. The base provides stability and contains the first oscillating mechanism.

In the above-mentioned vertical electric fan, the vertical axis connects the base, the bending rod and the fan assembly. The bending rod connects the vertical axis and the second swing mechanism. The first swing mechanism located between the vertical axis and the bending rod is configured for horizontal swing. The second swing mechanism located at the other end of the bending rod is configured for vertical swing.

In the above-mentioned vertical electric fan, the control panel is configured to independently control the horizontal and vertical swings, and the speed of the fan blades. In one embodiment, the control panel can be a digital touch panel, or it can also be a remote control. The vertical electric fan also includes safety features such as enhanced fan blade guards to prevent accidental contact with moving parts.

The electric stand fan further includes a battery pack configured to provide power to the fan during a power outage. For example, the battery pack may be a lithium-ion battery pack. The electric stand fan further includes a temperature sensor configured to detect ambient temperature and adjust the speed of the fan blades accordingly. For example, the temperature sensor may be a thermistor.

The vertical electric fan further includes an LED light module, which is configured on the base to provide ambient lighting. For example, the LED light in the LED light module can be a warm white LED light.

In order to make the above features and advantages of the new model more obvious and easy to understand, the following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiment with the attached drawings.

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional diagram of the present invention's vertical electric fan, and Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the present invention's vertical electric fan. In this embodiment, the vertical electric fan 100 is designed to enhance air circulation through a dual-axis swing function. This function is achieved by two independent swing mechanisms, allowing the fan assembly 110 to swing horizontally and vertically, thereby providing a larger air circulation coverage area. The vertical electric fan includes several main components that contribute to its functionality and efficiency.

In this embodiment, the motor 112 of the stand fan 100 may be a standard motor responsible for rotating the blades 114 of the stand fan 100. The blades 114 are aerodynamically designed to promote efficient air circulation. The base 120 provides overall stability to the stand fan 100.

In addition, the vertical electric fan 100 also includes a vertical shaft 130 connected to the base 120 and a specially designed bending rod 140. The bending rod 140 serves as a mechanical connection between the vertical shaft 130 and the fan assembly 110. The first swing mechanism 150 located at the other end of the bending rod 140 is responsible for the horizontal swing of the fan assembly 110, and the second swing mechanism 160 located at the other end of the bending rod 140 is responsible for the vertical swing of the fan assembly 110.

In addition, the stand fan 100 further includes a control panel 170 that allows the user to independently control the horizontal and vertical swing of the fan assembly 110, as well as the speed of the blades 114. The control panel 170 provides a customizable user experience, allowing the user to adjust the operation of the stand fan 100 according to their specific preferences and needs. The fan assembly 110 of the stand fan 100 also includes a blade guard 116 to prevent the user or other objects from accidentally contacting the blades 114, and the blade guard 116 provides a protective barrier around the blades 114.

The motor 112 of the vertical electric fan 100 rotates the blades 114 through a rotating bearing (not shown). The motor 112 is suitable for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, which is then used to rotate the blades 114 at different speeds. The speed of the blades 114 can be controlled by the control panel 170, allowing users to adjust the speed according to their specific needs and preferences.

The blades 114 of the stand fan 100 are aerodynamically designed to promote efficient air circulation. The aerodynamic design of the blades 114 enables them to move a larger volume of air with less energy, thereby increasing the efficiency of the stand fan 100. The blades 114 are configured to rotate in a specific manner, creating a flow of air that flows outward from the fan assembly 110, thereby circulating air within the room. This design helps to circulate air efficiently, which is particularly beneficial in larger rooms or spaces. The motor 112 and the blades 114 together form a synergistic combination that is the core of the operation of the fan assembly 110. The motor 112 provides the mechanical energy to rotate the fan blades, while the aerodynamically designed fan blades 114 effectively circulate air within the room. This combination contributes to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the floor fan 100.

The base 120 provides stability to the stand fan 100, ensuring that the stand fan 100 remains upright and stable during operation. This is particularly beneficial when the fan assembly 110 sways, which may cause instability. The base 120 is designed to counteract this movement and maintain the stability of the stand fan 100.

In addition, a first swing mechanism 150 is disposed within the vertical axis 130 and near the connection between the vertical axis 130 and the bending rod 140, and is responsible for the horizontal swing of the fan assembly 110. This first swing mechanism 150 is configured to swing the fan assembly 110 from one side to the other side in a horizontal plane. The range of swing can be adjusted through the control panel 170, allowing the user to customize the coverage area of the fan air circulation. Horizontal swing helps the fan to evenly distribute air in the room, especially in larger spaces.

The first swing mechanism 150 operates by converting the rotational motion of the motor 152 into a swinging motion. This is achieved through a series of gears 154 and connecting rods 156 located within the vertical shaft 130. As the motor 152 rotates, it drives a gear 154 connected to the connecting rod 156. This connecting rod 156 is then connected to the bending rod 140, causing the bending rod 140 to swing from one side to the other, thereby driving the fan assembly 110 to swing from one side to the other. The range and speed of this swinging can be adjusted through the control panel 170, providing the user with the ability to customize the fan operation according to their specific needs and preferences. The bending rod 140 and the first swing mechanism 150 together form a synergistic system that contributes to the stability and functionality of the vertical electric fan 100.

In this embodiment, the vertical shaft 130 is a solid, elongated member extending upward from the base 120 of the vertical fan 100. One end of the vertical shaft 130 is connected to the base 120, and the other end is connected to the bending rod 140. The vertical shaft 130 is designed to withstand the swinging movement of the vertical fan 100, ensuring that the vertical fan 100 remains stable during operation.

In this embodiment, the bending rod 140 is a specially designed component that needs to be designed to match the appearance of the fan assembly 110. That is, the bending rod 140 is characterized by its bent shape, which is designed to promote the vertical swing of the fan assembly 110. One end of the bending rod 140 is connected to the vertical shaft 130, and the other end is connected to the second swing mechanism 160. The bending rod 140 serves as a mechanical connection between the vertical shaft 130 and the second swing mechanism 160, so that the movement of the vertical electric fan 100 can be accurately controlled.

In this embodiment, the bending rod 140 transfers the swinging motion of the first swing mechanism 150 to the second swing mechanism 160. Specifically, when the first swing mechanism 150 causes the bending rod 140 to swing from one side to the other side, this motion is transferred to the second swing mechanism 160. In addition, the second swing mechanism 160 can swing vertically by itself, so that the fan assembly 110 can swing both horizontally and vertically. The principle of how the second swing mechanism 160 drives the fan assembly 110 to swing vertically is similar to the principle of how the first swing mechanism 150 drives the bending rod 140 to swing horizontally, so it will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the bending rod 140 is designed to withstand the stresses associated with this dual-axis oscillation, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the vertical electric fan 100.

Together, the vertical shaft 130 and the bending rod 140 form a synergistic combination that contributes to the dual-axis swing function of the vertical fan 100. The vertical shaft 130 provides a stable connection between the base 120 and the bending rod 140, while the bending rod 140 serves as a mechanical connection between the vertical shaft 130 and the second swing mechanism 160. This combination enhances the ability of the vertical fan 100 to effectively and efficiently circulate air within a room.

The second swing mechanism 160 located at the other end of the bending rod 140 plays a key role in facilitating the vertical swing of the fan assembly 110. The second swing mechanism 160 is configured to move the fan assembly 110 up and down in a vertical plane. The range of movement can be adjusted through the control panel 170, allowing the user to customize the coverage area of the air circulation of the standing electric fan 100. The vertical swing helps the standing electric fan 100 to evenly distribute air in the room, especially in larger spaces.

The control panel 170 of the stand fan 100 is a user interface that allows the user to independently control the horizontal and vertical swing of the stand fan 100, as well as the speed of the blades 114. This feature provides a customizable user experience, allowing the user to adjust the operation of the fan according to their specific preferences and needs. In this embodiment, the control panel 170 is configured with various control options corresponding to different functions of the stand fan 100. These control options may include buttons, switches, or knobs that allow the user to adjust the speed of the blades 114, the range of horizontal and vertical swing, and the direction of swing. The control panel 170 may also include indicators, such as lights or displays, to provide visual feedback to the user regarding the current settings of the fan.

The control panel 170 is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, allowing the user to easily adjust the fan settings. For example, the control options for adjusting the speed of the fan blades 114 may be clearly labeled with numbers or symbols to indicate different speed settings. Similarly, the control options for adjusting the range and direction of the swing may be labeled with arrows or other symbols to indicate the direction of the swing. The control panel 170 also allows the user to independently control the horizontal and vertical swing of the fan assembly 110. This means that the user can choose to activate the horizontal swing, the vertical swing, or both according to their specific needs. This feature provides a high degree of customization, allowing the user to adjust the operation of the fan according to their specific preferences and needs.

Additionally, the control panel 170 may include safety features, such as a safety cut-off switch or a timer function, to provide additional protection and convenience to the user. The safety cut-off switch allows the user to immediately stop the operation of the fan in an emergency, while the timer function allows the user to set a specific time for the fan to operate, after which the fan will automatically shut off. The control panel 170 and its various control options and functions collectively contribute to the overall functionality and user-friendliness of the upright electric fan. By providing the ability for the user to independently control the horizontal and vertical swing, as well as the speed of the fan blades, the control panel 170 enhances the user experience and allows for a high degree of customization in the operation of the upright electric fan 100.

In one embodiment, the control panel 170 may be a remote control having a plurality of buttons for independently controlling the horizontal and vertical swings of the fan assembly 110 and the speed of the fan blades 114. The remote control communicates with the control system 115 of the stand fan 100 using wireless signals, allowing the user to control the operation of the stand fan 100 while being at a certain distance from the stand fan 100. Of course, the control panel 170 may also refer to an application (APP) on a smart phone.

The fan assembly 110 of the stand fan 100 also includes a blade guard 116, which is a protective barrier located around the blades 114. The blade guard 116 is intended to prevent users from accidentally contacting the blades, thereby reducing the risk of injury. The design of the blade guard 116 takes into account the dual-axis swing of the stand fan 100, ensuring that the guard remains effective regardless of the direction of swing. The blade guard 116 is made of a strong material that is impact-resistant and wear-resistant, and is designed to withstand the pressures associated with fan operation, ensuring its longevity and reliability. The blade guard 116 is also designed to allow for effective air circulation, ensuring that the presence of the guard does not hinder the performance of the stand fan 100.

In addition to the blade guard 116, the floor fan 100 may include other safety features. For example, the fan may include a safety cut-off mechanism that automatically shuts off the fan in the event of a malfunction or when a certain condition is detected, such as an obstruction in the path of the blades 114. This feature provides an additional layer of protection and improves the overall safety of the floor fan 100.

Additionally, the floor fan 100 may include a timer function that allows the user to set a specific time for the floor fan 100 to operate, after which the fan will automatically shut off. This feature not only provides convenience to the user, but also improves safety because it ensures that the fan does not continue to operate indefinitely, which could pose a risk if left unattended.

Together, these safety features contribute to the overall safety and user-friendliness of the floor standing electric fan 100. By incorporating features such as the enhanced blade guard 116, safety cut-off mechanism, and timer function, the fan provides a high degree of protection against accidental contact with moving parts, malfunctions, and unattended operation.

In addition, the stand fan 100 includes a battery pack 132 that can provide power to the stand fan 100 during a power outage. This feature not only enhances the reliability of the stand fan 100, but also contributes to its power consumption efficiency. The battery pack 132 is configured to provide power to the stand fan 100 at an optimized voltage level, thereby reducing power consumption and improving the overall efficiency of the stand fan 100. In addition, the battery pack 132 is also suitable for providing power to the stand fan 100 during a power outage. This feature enhances the reliability and versatility of the stand fan 100, ensuring that it can continue to operate even without a continuous power supply. The battery pack 132 is disposed inside the vertical fan 100, for example, inside the vertical axis 130, to ensure that the battery pack 132 does not interfere with the aesthetics of the vertical fan 100.

In this embodiment, the battery pack 132 includes two groups of batteries arranged in a specific configuration to optimize power delivery. Each group includes two 2600mAh/3.7V batteries connected in parallel to form a 5200mAh/3.7V battery pack. The two battery packs are then connected in series to form a 5200mAh/7.4V battery pack. This configuration increases the voltage of the battery pack and reduces the voltage loss during operation, thereby improving the efficiency of the fan.

In summary, there are several benefits to including the battery pack 132 in the stand fan 100. First, it enhances the reliability of the stand fan 100, ensuring that the stand fan 100 can continue to operate during a power outage. Second, it increases the mobility of the stand fan 100, allowing the user to move the stand fan 100 farther away from an outlet.

In addition, the stand fan 100 also has at least one temperature sensor 113 built in, which plays a key role in detecting the ambient temperature and adjusting the speed of the fan blades 114 accordingly. This feature contributes to the energy efficiency of the stand fan 100 because it allows the stand fan 100 to operate at an optimized speed based on the current temperature conditions. The temperature sensor 113 is a temperature-sensitive device configured to measure the temperature of the surrounding environment. The temperature sensor 113 operates by converting the measured temperature into an electrical signal, which is then processed by the control system 115 of the stand fan 100. The control system 115 interprets this electrical signal and adjusts the speed of the fan blades 114 accordingly. For example, if the temperature sensor 113 detects a high ambient temperature, the control system 115 may increase the speed of the fan 114 to provide more cooling. Conversely, if the temperature sensor 113 detects a low ambient temperature, the control system 115 may reduce the speed of the fan 114 to save energy.

In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 113 is strategically located within the fan assembly 110 to ensure accurate temperature measurement. The temperature sensor 113 is located in a position that is exposed to the ambient air but shielded from the direct airflow of the stand fan 100.
