Description
- The present application relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular, to a fan head assembly and a fan including the same.
- In the prior art, there are roughly the following ways of oscillation of a fan: one is automatic left and right oscillation + manual up and down oscillation; one is automatic up and down oscillation + manual left and right oscillation; and one is automatic left and right oscillation + automatic up and down oscillation. These existing ways of oscillation of the fans have the following disadvantages in specific applications:
- 1) The air outlet base and the air inlet base of the fan are relatively fixed, the air supply area is limited, and the product is homogeneous. There is no differentiated selling points, which is not beneficial to the promotion and sales of the product.
- 2) Each kind of oscillation is simply combined by single planar oscillations, and spatial three-dimensional oscillation is not really achieved. The product is highly homogeneous and has no differentiated selling points, which is not beneficial to the promotion and sales of the product. Further, since the moving trajectory of a single oscillation is a linear reciprocating motion, stopping of oscillation is prone to occur at the reversing positions.
- 3) Each group of single planar oscillation requires a motor to drive a group of transmission mechanisms, such as a synchronous motor to drive a four-link mechanism, or a stepper motor/reversible motor to drive a gear meshing mechanism.

- The second object of the present application is to provide a fan including the above-mentioned fan head assembly and a base assembly connected with the fan head assembly, and the air inlet base is mounted on the base assembly.

- The present application provides a fan head assembly and a fan, a rotation-swing mechanism is provided to the fan head assembly, so as to drive an air outlet base to perform a rotation-swing motion. Specifically, a rotation-swing drive motor is mounted on the air inlet base to provide power, and a rotation-swing transmission counterpart transmissively connects the rotation-swing drive motor and the air outlet base. In this way, after the rotation-swing drive motor is started, the rotation-swing transmission counterpart may convert the power output by the rotation-swing drive motor into a rotation-swing motion and drive the air out base to rotation-swing together, so that the air outlet base may rotationally swing relative to the air inlet base. As a result, the conventional design idea that the air outlet base and the air inlet base in the existing fan are relatively fixed may be broken. Since the air outlet base will be three-dimensionally swingingrelative to the air inlet base, the product may works in a cool way, which solves the problem of serious homogeneity and no different selling points of existing fan products, and it is beneficial to the promotion and sales of the product. In addition, since the air outlet base is driven by the rotation-swing mechanism to perform a three-dimensional swing motion combined with rotation, whichmeans, the air outlet base may be driven by the same power mechanism to achieve a combination of two ways of oscillation, so that spatial three-dimensional oscillation of the air outlet base may beachieved, it wouldeffectively expand the air supply area and enables the rotational output of the wind direction, and the output wind may give a softer and more natural feeling. Further, since the rotation-swing motion trajectory of the air outlet base is a three-dimensional continuous circumferential closed trajectory, the problem of stopping at the reversing positions during the linear reciprocating motion of the existing fan in a single plane may be prevented. Compared with the existing fan with a conventional combination of automatic left and right oscillation and automatic up and down oscillation, it has lower cost and more reliable movement.

- As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 6 , the embodiment of the present application provides afan head assembly 100 which includes anair outlet base 1; anair inlet base 2 provided at one side of theair outlet base 1; and a rotation-rotation-swingrotation-swing mechanism 3, configured to drive theair outlet base 1 to rotationally swing relative to theair inlet base 2. The rotation-swing mechanism 3 includes a rotation-swing drive motor 31, mounted on theair inlet base 2; and a rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32, transmissively connecting the rotation-swing drive motor 31 and theair outlet base 1. - Specifically, the
air outlet base 1 is the air outlet side of thefan head assembly 100, and theair inlet base 2 is the air inlet side of thefan head assembly 100. In specific applications, when the fan is running, outside air enters from theair inlet base 2 into thefan head assembly 100 and is discharged outside ofhead assembly 100 through theair outlet base 1. The rotation-swing drive motor 31 is a power output component of the rotation-swing mechanism 3. The rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32 is used to convert the power output from the rotation-swing drive motor 31 into a rotation-swing motion and transmit it to theair outlet base 1, so as to drive theair outlet base 1 to perform a rotation-swing motion. The rotation-swing motion is a spatial three-dimensional motion, which is specifically a combined motion of rotation and oscillation, and its motion trajectory is a three-dimensional continuous circumferential closed trajectory. According to thefan head assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, driven by the rotation-swing mechanism 3, theair outlet base 1 may rotation-swing relative to theair inlet base 2. As a result, the conventional design idea that theair outlet base 1 and theair inlet base 2 in the existing fan are relatively fixed may be broken. Since theair outlet base 1 will be three-dimensionally -swinging relative to theair inlet base 2, the product may works in a cool way, which solves the problem of serious homogeneity and no different selling points of existing fan products, and is beneficial to the promotion and sales of the product. In addition, since theair outlet base 1 is driven by the rotation-swing mechanism 3 to perform a three-dimensional swing motion of a combination of rotation and oscillation, that is, theair outlet base 1 may be driven by the same power mechanism to achieve a combination of two ways of oscillation, spatial three-dimensional oscillation of theair outlet base 1 may be realized, which may effectively expand the air supply area and realize the rotation output of the wind direction, and the output wind feeling may be more soft and natural. Further, since the rotation-swing motion trajectory of theair outlet base 1 is a three-dimensional continuous circumferential closed trajectory, the problem of stopping at the reversing position during the linear reciprocating motion of the fan in a single plane may be prevented, and the movement of the product may be more reliable. - Preferably, referring to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 , andFIG. 6 , theair outlet base 1 includes a firstspherical surface 110; and theair inlet base 2 includes a secondspherical surface 210 in clearance fit with the firstspherical surface 110; where: a spherical center of the firstspherical surface 110 is configured to coincide with a spherical center of the secondspherical surface 210; and the secondspherical surface 210 is configured to cover outside of the firstspherical surface 110. Here, the secondspherical surface 210 covers outside of the firstspherical surface 110, so that theair outlet base 1 and theair inlet base 2 may be well connected together. In this way, it is beneficial to prevent dust or debris from entering the rotation-swing mechanism 3, and improve the appearance of the product. Since the firstspherical surface 110 and the secondspherical surface 210 are concentrically arranged, and the firstspherical surface 110 is in clearance fit with the secondspherical surface 210, theair inlet base 2 may not interfere with the three-dimensional rotation-swing motion of theair outlet base 1, which fully guarantees the reliability of the product operation. At the same time, it may ensure that the secondspherical surface 210 always covers outside of the firstspherical surface 110 when theair outlet base 1 is running, so that it is prone to ensure that the operation of the product meets the requirements of safety testing. Certainly, as an alternative solution, the firstspherical surface 110 may also be set to cover outside of the secondspherical surface 210. In this way, it is also beneficial to prevent dust or debris from entering the rotation-swing mechanism 3, thus improving the appearance of the product, and guaranteeing the reliability of the product operation. - Preferably, referring to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 andFIG. 6 , a clearance L between the firstspherical surface 110 and the secondspherical surface 210 is configured to be no less than 1mm and no more than 12mm. Specifically, if the clearance L between the firstspherical surface 110 and the secondspherical surface 210 is designed to be too small, friction between theair outlet base 1 and theair inlet base 2 is prone to be caused during the rotation-swing motion of theair outlet base 1, thereby affecting the smoothness of the rotation-swing motion of theair outlet base 1. If the clearance L between the firstspherical surface 110 and the secondspherical surface 210 is designed to be too large, it will affect the aesthetics of the product, and it is not beneficial to ensure the dustproof and anti-debris effect of the product. Here, the clearance L between the firstspherical surface 110 and the secondspherical surface 210 is set to be no less than 1mm and no more than 12mm, which is not only beneficial to the smoothness of the rotation-swing motion of theair outlet base 1, but also to ensure the aesthetics of the product and the dustproof and anti-debris effects. The comprehensive performance is good, thereby meeting the needs of most applications. As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the clearance L between the firstspherical surface 110 and the secondspherical surface 210 may be no less than 1mm and no more than 5mm. - Preferably, referring to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 ,FIG. 4 , andFIG. 6 , the rotation-swing drive motor 31 includes: anoutput shaft 311. The rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32 includes: acam 321, fit on theoutput shaft 311; a connectingsleeve 322, sleeved on thecam 321; a connectingrod 323, connected with the connectingsleeve 322; and a universalball hinge structure 324, sleeved on the connectingrod 323 and connected with theair inlet base 2. Theair outlet base 1 is configured to be connected with the connectingrod 323; and the spherical center of the firstspherical surface 110, the spherical center of the secondspherical surface 210, and aspherical center 3240 of the universalball hinge structure 324 are configured to coincide with each other. Thecam 321 is mainly used to convert the rotary power output from theoutput shaft 311 into a rotation-swing motion. The connectingsleeve 322 is mainly used to realize the connection between thecam 321 and the connectingrod 323. The connectingrod 323 is mainly used to transmit the rotation-swing motion on thecam 321 to theair outlet base 1, so that theair outlet base 1 may perform a three-dimensional oscillation relative to theair inlet base 2. The universalball hinge structure 324 is mainly used to provide a support point for the rotation-swing motion of the connectingrod 323, thereby fully guaranteeing the stability of the rotation-swing motion of the connectingrod 323 and theair outlet base 1. In addition, in this embodiment, the firstspherical surface 110, the secondspherical surface 210, and the universalball hinge structure 324 are set to be concentric, which is beneficial to ensure that the secondspherical surface 210 always covers outside of the firstspherical surface 110 when the rotation-swing mechanism 3 drives theair outlet base 1 to rotate. The clearance L between the secondspherical surface 210 and the firstspherical surface 110 is always the same, so that theair inlet base 2 may not interfere with the three-dimensional rotation-swing motion of theair outlet base 1, which fully guarantees the reliability and safety of product operation. - Preferably, the
cam 321 is an eccentric wheel. Driven by thecam 321, the connectingrod 323 and theair outlet base 1 may perform a three-dimensional conical motion relative to theoutput shaft 311 of the rotation-swing drive motor 31, so that three-dimensional oscillation of theair outlet base 1 may be achieved. Specifically, according to thefan head assembly 100 provided in this embodiment, driven by the rotation-swing drive motor 31, the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32 may perform a three-dimensional conical motion around theoutput shaft 311 of the rotation-swing drive motor 31. Since theair outlet base 1 is connected with the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32, theair outlet base 1 may perform a three-dimensional conical motion along with the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32, so that the fan head body may perform external conical rotation relative to the fixed base. The blowing range of the fan may be expanded through this kind of simple three-dimentional motion, so that the small size fan may achieve the blowing effect of the large size fan. Certainly, as an alternative solution, thecam 321 may also adopt other shapes. For example, thecam 321 may be designed as an oval wheel or other irregular wheels. In specific applications, the shape of thecam 321 may be designed to make theair outlet base 1 achieve the effect of three-dimensional oscillation of different trajectories. - Specifically, referring to
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 4 ,FIG. 5 , andFIG. 6 , an included angle A is between acentral axis 3230 of the connectingrod 323 and acentral axis 3110 of theoutput shaft 311, and A is preferred to be more than 0 degree and no more than 30 degrees. The included angle A is the swing angle of the output power of the rotation-swing mechanism 3.

Thefan head assembly 100 further includes: a drive motor forair output 4, connected with thefan blade 12 and configured to drive thefan blade 12 to rotate; where the first motor includes: astator 41, configured to be static relative to thefan cover 11; and arotor 42, rotatably connected with thestator 41 and statically connected with thefan blade 12 relatively. Specifically, thefan cover 11 is connected with the connectingrod 323 of the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32. The relative stationary of thestator 41 and thefan cover 11 refers that when the fan is operating, there will be no relative movement between thestator 41 and thefan cover 11. The relative stationary of therotor 42 and thefan blades 12 refers that when the fan is operating, there will be no relative movement between therotor 42 and thefan blades 12. In order to achieve relative stationary of thestator 41 and thefan cover 11, in specific applications, one of the following two arrangements may be adopted: the first arrangement is that thestator 41 and thefan cover 11 are assembled and connected; the second arrangement is that thestator 41 has no assembly and connection relationship with thefan cover 11, thestator 41 and thefan cover 11 are respectively connected with the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32, so that thestator 41 may be connected indirectly with thefan cover 11 through the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32. In this embodiment, since thefan cover 11 is relatively static with thestator 41, therotor 42 and thestator 41 are connected, and therotor 42 and thefan blades 12 are connected, the rotation-swing mechanism 3 is able to simultaneously drive thefan cover 11, thefan blades 12, and the drive motor forair output 4 to perform the rotation-swing motion together, so that thefan cover 11 and thefan blades 12 may perform the three-dimensional swing motion together under the driving of the rotation-swing mechanism 3. As a result, the product may works in a cool way, which solves the problem of serious homogeneity and no different selling points of fan products, and is beneficial to the promotion and sales of the product.

FIG. 1 ,FIG. 3 ,FIG. 4 , andFIG. 6 , the drive motor forair output 4 is installed inside of thefan cover 11, and thestator 41 is connected to thefan cover 11. In this solution, there is a direct connection between thefan cover 11 and the rotation-swing mechanism 3, and there is no direct connection between thestator 41 and the rotation-swing mechanism 3. Since thestator 41 is connected to thefan cover 11, it not only satisfies the design requirement that thestator 41 and thefan cover 11 are relatively stationary, but satisfies the design requirement that thestator 41 and thefan cover 11 may perform the rotation-swing motion together under the driving of the rotation-swing mechanism 3. Certainly, in specific applications, the installation manner of the drive motor forair output 4 is not limited to this. For example, when the drive motor forair output 4 is installed inside of thefan cover 11, thestator 41 may be designed to be connected with thefan cover 11 and the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32 at the same time, or thestator 41 may be designed to be directly connected with the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32 other than being directly connected with thefan cover 11. Or, the drive motor forair output 4 may also be designed to be installed outside of thefan cover 11, and thestator 41 is connected with the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32. These alternatives may all not only satisfies the design requirement that thestator 41 and thefan cover 11 are relatively stationary, but satisfies the design requirement that thestator 41 and thefan cover 11 may perform the rotation-swing motion together under the driving of the rotation-swing mechanism 3. - Preferably, referring to

Therefore, it is beneficial to simplify the installation structure of the drive motor forair output 4 and thefan cover 11.

Specifically, therear mesh 113 is connected with the connectingrod 323 of the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32. Thefan blades 12 and the drive motor forair output 4 are housed in a cavity enclosed by themain cover 111, thefront mesh 112, and therear mesh 113. Thefront mesh 112 is at the air outlet side of theair outlet base 1, and therear mesh 113 is at the air inlet side of theair outlet base 1. Since thefront mesh 112 and therear mesh 113 are both connected with themain cover 111, when the rotation-swing transmission counterpart 32 drives themain cover 111 to perform a rotation-swing motion, thefront mesh 112 and therear mesh 113 may perform a rotation-swing motion together. - In this embodiment, the
stator 41 is connected to therear mesh 113 through the connectingbracket 5. Certainly, in specific applications, thestator 41 may also be directly connected with therear mesh 113. - Preferably, the first
spherical surface 110 is disposed on themain cover 111. Since both thefront mesh 112 and therear mesh 113 need to be designed with a grid structure that facilitates air circulation, while themain cover 111 does not need to be designed with a grid structure and its structure is relatively simple, the firstspherical surface 110 may be formed on themain cover 111, so that the processing difficulty is low and the processing cost is low as well. Certainly, in specific applications, the firstspherical surface 110 is not limited to the design manner formed on themain cover 111, for example, the firstspherical surface 110 may also be formed on themain cover 111. - Further, referring to
