Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a fan device designed with double front nets, wherein the output wind an be diffuse uniformly and smoothly, further a fragrant piece groove and a mosquito-repellent incense piece groove are installed, thus the people will feel comfortable.




2. Description of the Prior Art




As shown in

FIG. 1

, the prior art fan is a case fan, a blade device driven to rotated by a motor is installed therewithin. Another front fan cover


11




a


can be driven to rotate by another motor is installed in front of the blade


10




a.


The front fan cover


11




a


is formed as grids. In using the fan device, the wind will flow forward by the rotating blades


10




a


through the front fan cover


11




a.


Such kind of device may refer to Taiwan Patent No. 146452, etc.




However, in the aforesaid prior art fan structure, since it only designed with unique front fan cover


11




a,


the wind does not flow smoothly, thus people will feel uneasy. Moreover, in the prior art, the blades


10




a


and the front fan cover


11




a


are pivotally installed within an outer frame


12




a


so as to adjust the blades


10




a


to a different elevation angle. When the blades


10




a


and the front fan cover


11




a


are adjusted to an angle to output wind upwards, the wind will be hindered by the upper portion


13




a


of the outer frame


12




a.


Thus, the wind can not flow successfully. Moreover, the prior art fan device only has the function of outputting wind but has not contain the functions of fragrant device and the mosquito-repellent incense device.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a fan device which has a special designed rotary front net with many lattices. By this net design, the output wind can be diffuse uniformly and smoothly.




Another object of the present invention is to provide a fan device installed with a negative ion generator for adhering with dust so as to clean air.




Another object of the present invention is to provide a fan device installed with a fragrant piece groove and a mosquito-repellent incense piece groove for being inserted by fragrant pieces and mosquito-repellent incense pieces, and an electric heating piece is adjacent to the grooves. The fragrant pieces or mosquito-repellent incense pieces will emit fragrant odor to flow outwards with the wind, so that the fan has the functions of a fragrant device and a mosquito-repellent incense device.




A further object of the present invention is to provide a fan device design with an adjustable fan leg frame for adjusting the fan device to different elevation angle. However, the fan does not designed with an outer frame, therefore, irrespective of the fan device being adjusted to any orientation, it will not be hindered by the outer frame. As a result, the wind can be outputted successfully.




The present invention will be better understood and its numerous objects and advantages will become apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing to the following drawings in which:

is installed on the rear side of the front fan cover


10


and the blade device


20


. The rear side of the rear fan cover


30


is installed with a fixing rear net


32


which are buckled to the rear fan cover


30


by hooks


31


on the two sides thereof. The rear fan cover


30


is locked integrally to the front fan cover


10


by a plurality of screws


33


.




The rotary front net


40


is installed within the through hole


11


of the front fan cover


10


and is in front of the fixing front net


18


. The rotary front net


40


has a plurality of lattices. A rotary disk


41


is installed between the rotary front net


40


and the second motor


14


. The rotary disk


41


is embedded in the shaft center of the second motor

by an embedding hole


42


and has two pins


43


in the front thereof. Two respective pin holes


44


are formed on the rotary front net


40


. The rotary front net


40


matches with the two pins


43


through the two pin holes


44


. The second motor


14


can be driven by a proper circuit (not shown) for driving the rotary disk


41


and the rotary front net


40


to rotate synchronously. A cover hood


45


is installed in front of the rotary front net


40


and a screw


46


is securely installed to the rear side of the cover hood


45


. It is screwedly connected to the front end of the second motor


14


by screws


46


for preventing releasing of the rotary disk


41


and the rotary front net


40


. When the cover hood


45


looses, the rotary front net


40


can be easily detached and attached.




The fan leg frame


50


is installed on rear side of the rear fan cover


30


and has a ā€œUā€ shape. Each of the two ends of the fan leg frame


50


matches with a respective pivotal seat


51


which are screwedly locked to rear side of the rear fan cover


30


by screws


52


(as shown in FIG.


7


). As the fixing button is released, the fan leg frame


50


can be adjusted (as shown in

FIG. 5

) for the purpose of adjusting different elevation angle of the fan.




Moreover, in the present invention, a negative ion generator


60


can be further installed within the rear fan cover


30


, which includes an anode pin plate


71


, a cathode plate


72


and a frame


73


. The anode pin plate


70


, cathode plate


72


and frame


73


are fixed within the fan rear cover


30


. A plurality of discharging pins


74


are installed on the anode pin plate


71


. A plurality of through holes


75


are installed on the cathode plate


72


. The discharging pins


74


of the anode pin plate


71


are correspondent to the exact centers of the through holes


75


of the cathode plate


72


. A high direct current voltage is applied between the anode pin plate


71


and the cathode plate


72


. Since the negative ion released from the discharging pins


74


to the cathode plate


72


will adhere to the dust particles pass through the two electrodes so that the particle is negative ionized so as to finally adhere to the positive anode pin plate


71


. Thus the effect of cleaning air is achieved.




In using the fan device of the present invention, the rotary fan


20


may draw air to flow forward through the fixing front net


18


and the rotary front net


40


. The present invention is designed with a rotary front net


40


with lattices, the output wind can be diffuse uniformly and smoothly, thus the people will not feel uncomfortable. The present invention is designed with a fixing front net


18


and a rotary front net


40


, by this double nets design, the output wind can be diffuse uniformly and smoothly. Moreover, the present invention is design with an adjustable fan leg frame


50


for adjusting the fan device to a different elevation angle. However, the fan does not designed with an outer frame, therefore, no matter the fan device is adjusted to any orientation, it will not be hindered by the outer frame. As a result, the wind can be outputted successfully. Alternatively, the fragrant piece groove


15


and the mosquito-repellent incense piece groove


16


are installed on the front fan cover


10


for being inserted by fragrant pieces


60


and mosquito-repellent incense pieces


61


, respectively. When the electric heating piece


17


is conducted and heated, the fragrant pieces


60


or mosquito-repellent incense pieces


61


will emit a fragrant odor and flow outward with the wind, so that the fan has the functions of a fragrant device and a mosquito-repellent incense device.




Although the present invention has been described using specified embodiment, the examples are meant to be illustrative and not restrictive. It is clear that many other variations would be possible without departing from the basic approach, demonstrated in the present invention. Therefore, all such variations are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
