The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present disclosure and cannot be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

When an element is considered to be “connected” to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may also be an intervening element at the same time. Conversely, when an element is described as being “directly on” another element, there is no intervening element. The terms “vertical”, “horizontal”, “left”, “right”, and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration.


In the present disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms “installation”, “connection”, “connection”, “fixation”, and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can also be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific situations. In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined with “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features. In the description of the present disclosure, the meaning of “a plurality” is two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.


Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the description of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term “and/or” used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the present application discloses a fan blade 100 and a neck fan 10.


As shown in FIGS. 3-5, the fan blade 100 comprises a base 110, a plurality of outer blades 120, and a plurality of inner blades 130. The base 110 is generally circular and protrudes in the middle, including an annular outer disc 111, a connecting cylinder 112, and a circular inner disc 113. The outer disc 111 is annularly arranged on the outside of the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 112, and the inner disc 113 seals the top end of the connecting cylinder 112. The inner disc 113 is used for connecting the output shaft of the driving mechanism. The outer blades 120 are annularly arranged on the outside of the outer disc 111, and the inner blades 130 are annularly arranged on the outside of the inner disc 113, so that both the outer blades 120 and the inner blades 130 are located on the same side of the base 110, and the outer blades 120 and the inner blades 130 are spaced apart. By setting the fan blade 100 in the above state, both the inner blades 130 and the outer blades 120 are located on the same side of the base. When the fan blade 100 works, it drives the air flow to rotate and blow air on one side. Compared with the traditional blades with blades on both sides that drive the air flow to rotate on both sides, the one-sided air flow in the present application can avoid the disadvantage of the mutual disturbance of the air flow on both sides to form a vortex. At the same time, the inner blades 130 play a certain role in adjusting the air flow of the outer blades 120, reducing the degree of turbulence generated on the inner side when the outer blades 120 rotate, thereby reducing the noise generated when the fan blade 100 rotates and bringing a better user experience.


The top of the outer blade 120 is higher than the top of the connecting cylinder 112, and the top of the outer blade 120 is flush with the top of the inner blade 130. This can further improve the noise generated by the turbulence when the fan blade 100 works.


The plurality of outer blades 120 are evenly spaced and distributed on the outer disc 111, and the plurality of inner blades 130 are evenly distributed on the inner disc 113. Both the outer blades 120 and the inner blades 130 are evenly distributed, so that the air flow generated by rotation is more stable, thereby reducing turbulence and noise.


The number of outer blades 120 is greater than that of inner blades 130, and the ratio of the number of outer blades 120 to the number of inner blades 130 ranges from 1.1 to 2. In one embodiment, the ratio of the number of outer blades 120 to the number of inner blades 130 is 1.5. This can ensure the air volume and reduce noise to a certain extent.


Both the outer blades 120 and the inner blades 130 are arc-shaped and curved in the same circumferential direction. The curvature of the outer blade 120 is greater than that of the inner blade 130. This can play a better role in balancing the air flow and reducing noise.


A part of the top of the side of the outer blade 120 facing the inner disc 113 is inclined downward, and the low point of the inclined side of the top of the outer blade 120 is higher than the bottom of the inner blade 130. With this arrangement, the inner blades 130 and the outer blades 120 can cooperate better to balance the air flow between the inner and outer blades 120 and reduce noise.


The ratio of the height of the outer blade 120 to the height of the inner blade 130 is 4-6. The ratio of the width of the outer blade 120 to the width of the inner blade 130 is 1.5-2. This can ensure better cooperation between the outer blades 120 and the inner blades 130, reduce vortex, and reduce noise.


The side of the outer disc 111 facing the connecting cylinder 112 is smoothly rising. This can make the air flow between the outer blades 120 and the connecting cylinder 112 more stable, reduce vortex, and reduce the noise of the air flow rotation.


As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present application also discloses a neck fan 10. The main body 200 is U-shaped. Both ends of the U-shaped main body 200 are provided with air inlet chambers 210. The fan blade 100 is placed in the air inlet chamber 210. The side of the main body 200 facing outward is provided with an air inlet 211 corresponding to the air inlet chamber 210. The driving mechanism (not shown in the figure) is installed in the connecting cylinder 112 and is used for driving the fan blade 100 to rotate.


The main body 200 is U-shaped and can be easily hung around the user's neck, which is convenient for carrying. Among them, the driving mechanism is a motor, and the motor is placed in the connecting cylinder 112 to achieve efficient use of space. When the fan blade 100 rotates, the outside air is sucked into the air inlet chamber 210 through the air inlet 211, and then flows out in the main body 200 to bring cool breeze to the user. Among them, the structure design of the fan blade 100 is the same as that of the above fan blade, so that the noise during work is relatively small and provides a better user experience.


The main body 200 is provided with an air outlet 220 in the upward direction, and a wind tunnel 230 is arranged below the air outlet 220. A section of the wind tunnel 230 near the air inlet chamber 210 is enlarged in the direction towards the air inlet chamber 210. A section of the wind tunnel 230 near the air inlet chamber 210 is contracted. The side of the wind tunnel 230 near the air inlet chamber 210 is relatively large, and the side slightly away from the air inlet chamber 210 is smaller. This is beneficial for the fan blade 100 to introduce the air flow into the wind tunnel 230 and reduce noise.


The above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present disclosure. Any equivalent structural changes made under the inventive concept of the present disclosure, or any direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, should be included in the scope of patent protection of the present disclosure.
