Specifically, referring to FIGS. 1 to 12, the present application provides a fan 100, which includes a circuit board 10, a fan module 20, and a temperature control module 30.
The circuit board 10, as the core control component of the fan 100, receives and processes external operation instructions and/or signals from different components, and the circuit board 10 controls the working states of the fan module 20 and the temperature control module 30 according to these signals. The circuit board 10 integrates necessary circuits and components, such as a processor, a drive circuit, a power management and so on to ensure the stable operation of the entire fan 100.
The fan module 20 electrically connected to the circuit board 10 is located at the air inlet 40.
For example, the fan module 20 is mainly used to absorb external air into the fan. The fan module 20 is powered and controlled by the circuit board 10. Users can control the speed of fan module 20 to adjust the air volume. The fan module 20 also includes a fan motor 21 and fan blades 22. When the fan motor 21 is turned on, the fan blades 22 rotate, thereby absorb external air into the fan to form airflow A. The airflow A flows into the temperature control module 30 with the help of the fan module 20 to achieve air circulation and heat exchange.
The temperature control module 30 electrically connected to the circuit board 10 is communicated with the fan module 20. The temperature control module 30 includes at least one semiconductor chilling plate 31, a cooling plate component 32 and a hot plate component 33. The semiconductor chilling plate 31 divides a cold zone 301 and a hot zone 302 which are arranged oppositely on two sides of the semiconductor chilling plate 31. The cooling plate component 32 is arranged in the cold zone 301 and the hot plate component 33 is arranged in the hot zone 302.
For example, the semiconductor chilling plate 31 works based on the Peltier effect, which is a thermoelectric effect. When a source of direct current passes through an electric couple formed by two different semiconductor materials in series, one end of the electric couple will absorb heat while other end of the electric couple will release heat, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling. The semiconductor chilling plate 31 is composed of P-type and N-type semiconductor materials. When direct current passes through these materials, heat will be transferred from the input end of current to the output end. A cold zone 301 and a hot zone 302 are formed respectively. When the fan is on, the cold zone 301 absorbs heat and the hot zone 302 releases heat. The cooling plate component 32 arranged in the cold zone 301 is used to enhance the cooling effect. The hot plate component 33 arranged in the hot zone 302 is used to enhance the heat dissipation effect. The cold zone 301 is provided with the cooling plate component 32 and the hot zone 302 is provided with the hot plate component 33 to achieve the separation of cold airflow and hot airflow.
In the embodiment, a base plate of the semiconductor chilling plate 31 can be made of metal with high thermal conductivity, such as copper (Cu) or silver (Ag), to replace the traditional ceramic (aluminum oxide) base plate. The high thermal conductivity metal base plate improves the thermal utilization rate and enhances the cooling and heating effects.
The fan module 20 is used to guide the airflow A entering into the temperature control module 30. The airflow A passes through the cooling plate component 32 located in the cold zone 301 and the hot plate component 33 located in the hot zone 302 of the temperature control module 30 to form cold air B and hot air C respectively. The cold air B and hot air C respectively flow out through the cold air outlet 50 and the hot air outlet 60, so as to realize the temperature control and airflow regulation functions of the fan 100.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 8, the fan 100 includes a grip part 70 and a ventilation section 80 that are perpendicular to each other. The grip section 70 is used for users to hold the fan, and the temperature control module 30 is located in the ventilation section 80.
The grip part 70 and the ventilation section 80 of the fan 100 are perpendicular to each other. This design makes the fan 100 easy for users to hold the fan by one hand or two hands, also ensures that the ventilation section 80 has enough space to accommodate the temperature control module 30 and other components.
The design of the grip part 70 takes the users' experience into full consideration, and its shape, size and material are carefully selected to ensure that users can comfortably and firmly hold the fan 100. At the same time, the grip part 70 can be equipped with material of anti-slip characteristic, anti-sweat characteristic and other characteristics to further improve users' comfort.
The ventilation section 80 is the core functional area of the fan 100. The ventilation section 80 includes key components such as the fan module 20 and the temperature control module 30. The temperature control module 30 is located in the ventilation section 80 and works closely with the fan module 20 to jointly achieve airflow regulation and temperature control.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the fan 100 absorbs air in a horizontal direction. The fan module 20 and the temperature control module 30 are horizontally arranged in the ventilation section 80, the hot zone 302 and the cold zone 301 are vertically arranged on two sides of the semiconductor chilling plate 31, the air inlet 40 is located at one side of the ventilation section 80, the air flow A enters from the air inlet 40 into the cold zone 301 and the hot zone 302. The cold air B generated in the cold zone 301 flows out from the cold air outlet 50 arranged at the opposite side of the ventilation section 80, and the hot air C generated in the hot zone 302 flows out from the hot air outlet 60 on the upper part of the ventilation section 80.
Further, the fan module 20 and the temperature control module 30 are arranged horizontally in the ventilation section 80. This layout not only makes the structure of the fan 100 more compact but also helps to improve the circulation efficiency of the airflow and the accuracy of temperature control. The semiconductor chilling plate 31 is the core component of the temperature control module 30, and the hot zone 302 and cold zone 301 are vertically arranged in the ventilation section 80. This design utilizes the natural convection principle that hot air rises and cold air falls, which helps to further separate the cold air B and the hot air C, and improves the working efficiency of the fan 100.
The air inlet 40 is located at one side of the ventilation section 80. This position selection helps users to hold the fan 100 without blocking the airflow. After the airflow A enters through the air inlet 40, the fan module 20 guides the airflow A to enter into the cold zone 301 and the hot zone 302 to achieve heat exchange. This layout allows the cold air B and the hot air C to flow out effectively through different paths, thereby avoiding interference and mixture of the cold air and hot air.
The cold air B generated in the cold zone 301 flows out through the cold air outlet 50 at the opposite side of the air inlet 40. This design helps users to directly feel the blowing of the cold air B when holding the fan 100, providing users with a cool experience. The hot air C flows out through the hot air outlet 60 on the upper part of the ventilation section 80, which not only avoids the accumulation of hot air C inside the fan 100 which may influence the use effect, but also avoids the hot air C from blowing directly to users, so as to improve the use experience. This design not only ensures the separation and effective discharge of cold air flows and hot air flows, but also improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan and the user comfort.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 12, the fan 100 absorb air from a bottom side of the grip part 70. The air inlet 40 is located at the bottom of the grip part 70, and the fan module 20 is located inside the grip part 70. The cold zone 301 is arranged corresponding to the cold air outlet 50 at one side of the ventilation section 80, and the hot zone 302 is arranged corresponding to the hot air outlet 60 at the opposite side of the ventilation section 80. The fan module 20 guides the airflow A from the bottom of the grip part 70 to enter into the temperature control module 30 to form cold air B and hot air C respectively, and the cold air B flows out through the cold air outlet 50 and hot air C flows out through the hot air outlet 60.
Further, the air inlet 40 is arranged at the bottom of the grip part 70. This layout enables the fan 100 to naturally absorb air from the bottom of the grip part 70, so as to increase convenience and comfort of use.
Further, the fan module 20 is arranged inside the grip part 70, which not only saves space, but also effectively protects drive components of the fan 100. The fan module 20 generates and accelerates the airflow A, then absorb the airflow A from the air inlet 40 into the fan 100, and the airflow A flows out after passing though the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33.
The cold zone 301 and the hot zone 302 are arranged on two sides of the ventilation section 80. This layout helps to effectively separate the cold air B and the hot air C. The cold zone 301 is close to the cold air outlet 50 at one side, and the hot zone 302 is close to the hot air outlet 60 at other side. The cold air and hot air flow out from different outlets without interference.
The fan module 20 guides the airflow A to enter from the air inlet 40 at the bottom of the grip part 70 into the temperature control module 30, and the airflow passes through the semiconductor chilling plate 31 to become cold air B and hot air C. This design ensures that the airflow can be evenly distributed after entering the temperature control module 30, so as to improve the cooling and heating efficiency.
The cold air B flows out through the cold air outlet 50, and the hot air C flows out through the hot air outlet 60. This design allows users to feel the cold air B from one side and the hot air C flows out from the other side when holding the fan 100. This layout avoids the mixing of cold airflow and hot airflow, improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan, and avoids the hot air from blowing directly to users, so as to improve users' experience.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the fan 100 also includes a deflector device 90 located between the fan module 20 and the temperature control module 30. The deflector device 90 is used to guide the airflow A to enter into the cold zone 301 to form cold air B, or to guide the airflow A to enter into the hot zone 302 to form hot air C.
The deflector device 90 is arranged between the fan module 20 and the temperature control module 30 to guide a flow direction of the airflow A inside the temperature control module 30 to ensure that the airflow can efficiently pass through the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33 to form cold air B and hot air C.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the deflector device 90 includes a first deflector 91, a second deflector 92, and a third deflector 93;
The first deflector 91 is arranged adjacent to the cold air outlet 50, and the cold zone 301 is an air cavity formed by the first deflector 91 and the cooling plate component 32. The design of the first deflector 91 helps guide the airflow A to enter into the cooling plate component 32 to promote the exchange of heat, and thus generates cold air B.
The second deflector 92 is arranged adjacent to the hot air outlet 60, and the hot zone 302 is another air cavity formed by the second deflector 92 and the hot plate component 33. The design of the second deflector 92 helps guide the airflow A to enter into the hot plate component 33 to promote the release of heat, and thus generates hot air C.
The third deflector 93 is arranged at the lower end of the temperature control module 30 to guide the airflow A in the air passage 71 to flow into the cold zone 301 and the hot zone 302 more effectively. By accurately designing the shape and angle of the third deflector 93, the distribution of the airflow can be optimized and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved. One end of the third deflector 93 is connected to the second deflector 92, and other end extends to the air passage 71. This design helps to further separate the cold air B and the hot air C. By controlling the path of the airflow, the mixture of the cold airflow and hot airflow can be reduced, so as to improve the purity of the cold air and the hot air.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the third deflector 93 is movably arranged at the lower end of the temperature control module. When the temperature control module 30 is turned on, the third deflector 93 guides the airflow A entering into the hot zone 302 to form hot air C. The second deflector guides the hot air flowing out through the hot air outlet, the first deflector guides cold air formed in the cold zone flowing out through the cold air outlet; or
The movable arrangement of the third deflector 93 gives the deflector 90 higher flexibility and energy efficiency management capabilities. This design not only allows users to adjust the airflow path according to actual needs but also optimizes the heat exchange efficiency in different working modes, further improving the intelligence of the device and users experience.
For example, when the temperature control module 30 is activated, the third deflector 93 will automatically open to a predetermined position. This action ensures that the airflow A passing through the air passage 71 can enter into the hot zone 302 unimpeded. In the hot zone 302, the airflow A and the hot plate component 33 perform efficient heat exchange, thereby being heated to form hot air C. Subsequently, the second deflector 92 guides the hot air C to safely and orderly flow out through the hot air outlet 60 to the external environment, effectively avoiding the accumulation of heat inside the fan 100. At the same time, the third deflector 93 continues to guide another part of the airflow A into the cold zone 301, in which the airflow A and the cooling plate component 32 perform heat exchange and are cooled to form cold air B. Under the guidance of the first deflector 91, the cold air B flows out through the cold air outlet 50, providing a cooling effect for the fan 100 or the surrounding environment. This design ensures that the fan 100 can provide both cooling and heating functions during operation to meet the needs of a variety of application scenarios.
For example, when the temperature control module 30 is turned off, the third deflector 93 will be closed accordingly or adjusted to a position that blocks the airflow A from entering into the hot zone 302. This action effectively prevents unnecessary heat exchange, reduces energy waste, and helps to extend the service life of the equipment. While closing the third deflector 93, the first deflector 91 remains open and continues to guide the airflow A to enter into the cold zone 301. This means that even if the temperature control module 30 is turned off as a whole, the device can still maintain a certain degree of cooling capacity. The cold air B flowing out through the cold air outlet 50 can provide a continuous cooling effect for application scenarios that require a low temperature environment.
For example, the first deflector 91 and the second deflector 92 are movably arranged adjacent to the hot air outlet. When the fan 100 is turned on, the first deflector 91 guides the cold air B formed in the cold zone 301 to flow out through the cold air outlet 50, and the second deflector 92 guides the hot air C formed in the hot zone 302 to flow out through the hot air outlet 60. Therefore, it can provide users with the desired cooling effect. When the fan 100 is turned off, the first deflector 91 and the second deflector 92 are turned off to prevent foreign matter from entering into the fan 100, which effectively blocks the passage for foreign matter to enter into the fan 100, so as to protect the internal structure and components of the fan 100, and extend the service life of the fan 100.
For example, the operation of the deflector device 90 can be integrated with the intelligent control system of the fan 100, and the adjustment signal is received by the circuit board 10 to automatically adjust the states of the first deflector 91, the second deflector 92 and the third deflector 93 to achieve the output of the cold airflow and hot airflow required by users.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 8, the fan 100 also includes a temperature detection module 110 electrically connected to the circuit board 10 to detect the temperature of the hot zone 302. When the temperature detection module 110 detects an abnormal temperature of the hot zone 302, the circuit board 10 controls the speed of the fan module 20 to cool the hot zone 302.
For example, the temperature detection module 110 may use a highly sensitive temperature sensor, such as a thermistor, a thermocouple or a digital temperature sensor and so on. These sensors can accurately capture the temperature changes of the hot zone 302, and convert these temperature changes into electrical signals and send them to the microprocessor or control unit on the circuit board 10. For example, the temperature detection module 110 can be arranged on the temperature control module 30, or be arranged adjacent to the temperature control module 30.
When the temperature detection module 110 detects that the temperature of the hot zone 302 exceeds the preset safety threshold or reaches an abnormally high temperature level, it will immediately send an alarm signal to the circuit board 10. Then the control logic on the circuit board 10 is activated, and the circuit board 10 can dynamically adjust the speed of the fan module 20 according to the received temperature data. This adjustment process is intended to accelerate air flow by increasing the speed of the fan, thereby taking away the heat of the hot zone 302 more effectively to achieve rapid cooling, and prevent possible equipment damage or performance degradation caused by overheating.
In addition, this intelligent temperature control mechanism can also include more complex algorithms for comprehensively judging and optimizing the speed adjustment strategy based on factors such as the rate of temperature change, the current ambient temperature, and the power consumption limit of the fan 100 and so on, so as to achieve the purpose of effective heat dissipation and energy saving.
By integrating the temperature detection module 110, the fan 100 can not only monitor and respond to the temperature changes of the hot zone 302 in real time, but also maintain the thermal stability of the fan 100 by intelligently adjusting the speed, to ensure that the fan 100 operates in the best condition, extends its service life, and improves overall energy efficiency.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 8, the fan 100 also includes a control switch 120 electrically connected to the circuit board 10, and the control switch is used to generate a control instruction in response to a control operation. And the circuit board 10 controls the speed of the fan module 20 and/or the cooling capacity of the cold air B according to a control instruction.
For example, the control switch 120 may be arranged on the grip part 70. This design allows users to conveniently perform control operations when holding the fan 100 without having to search for or touch control elements in other locations.
For example, the control switch 120 may adopt a knob structure, and users adjust the speed of the fan module 20 and/or the cooling capacity of the temperature control module 30 by rotating the knob. The knob provides intuitive feedback, and users can perceive the current setting through the damping and scale of the knob.
When users operate the control switch 120, it generates corresponding control instructions. These control instructions are sent to the circuit board 10 through the circuit connection. After receiving the control instructions, the circuit board 10 adjusts the speed of the fan module 20 and/or the cooling capacity of the temperature control module 30.
For example, the circuit board 10 controls the speed of the fan module 20 by changing the supply voltage or supply current of the fan module 20 according to the control instruction of the control switch 120. At the same time, the circuit board 10 can also control the cooling capacity of the cold air B by adjusting the current of the semiconductor chilling plate 31.
For example, the fan 100 may also be equipped with an external temperature sensor for real-time monitoring of the ambient temperature or the temperature of the hot zone 302. The circuit board 10 may intelligently adjust the speed according to the detection data of the external temperature sensor to achieve variable frequency speed regulation, so as to maintain a suitable temperature difference.
In some embodiments, the fan 100 may also be equipped with a display screen or indicator light to provide feedback to users on the current speed and cooling capacity setting, to provide interactivity to users interface and enable users to clearly understand the working status of the fan.
By regulating the switch 120, users can adjust the working state of the fan 100 according to personal preference and actual needs to achieve a balance between energy saving and comfort.
For example, the control switch 120 can support the selection of multiple working modes, such as standard mode, energy-saving mode, strong mode and so on. Users can select the appropriate mode according to different usage scenarios.
By setting the control switch 120, the fan 100 not only provides a user-friendly control method, but also enhances the adaptability of the fan 100 and users' experience through intelligent speed regulation and multi-mode selection.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the fan 100 further includes an air inflow distribution plate 130 located between the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33. The air inflow distribution plate 130 is used to divert the airflow A remained in the fan module 20 to enter into the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33.
The air inflow distribution plate 130 is located between the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33. The air inflow distribution plate 130 evenly distributes the airflow A entering into the temperature control module 30 to the cooling plate component 32 and the hot hot plate component 33, so as to ensure that the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33 receive an appropriate amount of airflow for effective heat exchange. The design of the air inflow distribution plate 130 helps achieve even distribution of the airflow A between the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33. This even distribution is very important for improving the efficiency of cooling and heating because it ensures that both the cold zone 301 and the hot zone 302 of the semiconductor chilling plate 31 can achieve the best working state.
For example, the air inflow distribution plate 130 may be made of a light and strong material, such as plastic or metal alloy, to ensure that it can withstand the airflow pressure while maintaining a relatively light weight.
The shape and size of the air inflow distribution plate 130 need to be precisely designed according to the internal structure and airflow requirements of the fan 100. For example, the air inflow distribution plate 130 may have a streamlined shape to reduce airflow resistance. For example, the air inflow distribution plate 130 may also be equipped with appropriate guide chutes or holes to ensure that the airflow can be evenly distributed to the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33. For example, the air inflow distribution plate 130 may have a specific curved or bifurcated structure to guide the airflow to flow along a specific path.
The air inflow distribution plate 130 and the fan module 20 work together. The fan module 20 guides the airflow A to flow into the temperature control module 30, while the air inflow distribution plate 130 further distributes the airflow A to the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33.
For example, the design of the air inflow distribution plate 130 can also take into account the convenience of maintenance and cleaning. It can be easily disassembled so that users can easily clean or inspect it.
For example, the air inflow distribution plate 130 may be movably arranged between the cooling plate component and the hot plate component, allowing the air inflow distribution plate 130 to adjust its position or angle according to actual needs, so as to accurately control the airflow ratio flowing into the cooling plate component 32 and the hot plate component 33.
In order to achieve more intelligent airflow distribution, the air inflow distribution plate 130 can receive signals from the control switch 120 or other sensors through the circuit board 10. Specifically, users can select different working modes or set specific temperature values through the control switch 120. After receiving these instructions, the circuit board 10 will calculate the optimal airflow distribution ratio according to the preset algorithm and control the air inflow distribution plate 130 to move accordingly through the driving mechanism (such as a motor, an electromagnet, etc.).
In addition, if the fan 100 can also be equipped with other sensors (such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc.), these sensors can monitor environmental parameters in real time and feed back the data to the circuit board 10. The circuit board 10 will further adjust the position of the air inflow distribution plate 130 according to these real-time data to achieve more accurate and dynamic airflow distribution.
By automatically adjusting the position of the air inflow distribution plate 130, the fan 100 can flexibly control the output ratio of cold air B and hot air C to meet the needs of users in different scenarios. For example, when more cold air is needed in summer, the circuit board 10 can drive the air inflow distribution plate 130 to guide more airflow to flow into the cooling plate component 32; and when more hot air is needed in winter, more airflow can be guided to flow into the hot plate component 33.
The circuit board 10 may receive a signal from the control switch 120 or other sensors to control the movement of the air inflow distribution plate 130 to automatically adjust the airflow distribution to achieve the output of the cold airflow and hot airflow required by users.
By arranging the air inflow distribution plate 130, the fan 100 can achieve more efficient and even distribution of the airflow to improve cooling and heating performance, and also provide users with a more comfortable and controllable use experience.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 8, the fan 100 further includes a refrigerating switch 140 for turning on or off the temperature control module 30.
For example, the refrigerating switch 140 can be arranged on the fan grip part 70. Such a design enables users to easily touch and operate the refrigerating switch while holding the fan, so as to improve the convenience and comfort of use.
For example, when users press the refrigerating switch 140, the circuit board 10 receives the start signal and turns on the temperature control module 30. At this time, the semiconductor chilling plate 31 starts to work, the cold zone 301 generates cold air B flowing out through the cold air outlet 50, and the hot zone 302 generates hot air C flowing out through the hot air outlet 60 to achieve a cooling effect.
For example, when users press the refrigerating switch 140 again, the circuit board 10 receives the shutdown signal and then turns off the temperature control module 30. At this time, the semiconductor chilling plate 31 stops working, no longer generates cold air and hot air, and the fan returns to a non-cooling state.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 7, the fan 100 further includes a power switch 150 for turning the fan 100 on or off.
The power switch 150 allows users to control the power state of the fan 100. By operating the power switch 150, users can turn on the fan 100 to start working, or turn off the fan 100 to stop working and disconnect the power supply.
For example, the power switch 150 can be arranged on the grip part 70, so that users can conveniently perform the switch operation when holding the fan 100. It can also be arranged at other easily accessible positions of the fan 100, such as the side of the ventilation section 80, etc.
For example, the power switch 150 can be a button type, a slide type, or a rotary type, and the specific design of the power switch 150 should take into account the convenience of users' operation and the aesthetics of the device. The power switch 150 can also provide clear feedback, such as touch or sound, to confirm the switch state.
The power switch 150 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10. When users operate the power switch 150, it will send a signal to the circuit board 10. After receiving the signal, the circuit board 10 will control the power supply of the fan module 20 and the temperature control module 30.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 8, the fan 100 further includes a power supply 160 for supplying power to the fan 100.
The power supply 160 provides the required power for the fan 100. It may be powered by a built-in battery, an external power adapter, or a USB interface, depending on the design and usage scenario of the fan 100.
If the power supply 160 is a built-in battery, the capacity of the battery will determine the life of the fan 100. The selection of the battery should take into account the power consumption of the fan 100 and users' usage habits.
If the power supply 160 is a rechargeable battery, the fan 100 may also include a charging circuit and a battery management system to ensure safe charging and effective management of the battery.
The design of the power supply 160 should take into account compatibility with different power adapters or charging devices, so that users can charge the fan 100 in different environments.
For example, the fan 100 may include an energy-saving mode. When the power switch 150 is turned off or the battery power is low, the circuit board 10 may control the fan to enter into a low power consumption state to extend the battery life.
The fan 100 of the present application is not only applicable to small portable products such as handheld fans, portable air conditioners and so on, but also to desktop products such as small desktop fans, computer radiators and so on. The wide range of application scenarios demonstrates the flexibility and practicality of the fan 100.
