A cartridge-based fan apparatus includes a cartridge component, wherein the cartridge component includes at least an airflow driver and at least a first spindle secured to a rotary device, a cartridge housing unit, wherein the cartridge housing unit includes a cartridge insertion chamber, a motor, and a drive element that mechanically couples the motor to the spindle when the cartridge is inserted in the cartridge insertion chamber, and a securing mechanism that secures the cartridge component in the cartridge insertion chamber.

A cooling fan includes: a fan housing mounted on a mounting bracket; a rotary shaft rotatably supported by the fan housing; a rotor fixed to the rotary shaft; a stator fixed to the fan housing and disposed at a predetermined gap from the rotor; an impeller connected to the rotor so as to rotate therewith; and a separation prevention member formed in the mounting bracket so as to prevent the impeller from being separated from the fan housing. the separation prevention bar comprises: a pair of vertical bars formed at opposite edges of the air passage portion in a vertical direction to the mounting bracket and a horizontal bar connecting upper portions of the vertical bars, thereby providing a gap between the impeller and the horizontal bar so that the separation prevention bar does not interfere with rotation of the impeller.

A blowing system includes: a first blowing unit including a first body that houses a first fan and includes a first air outlet for blowing-out wind from the first fan; a second blowing unit including a second body that houses a second fan, includes a second air outlet for blowing-out wind from the second fan, and has a shape that is in two-fold symmetry with the first body; and a first connection that rotatably-connects an edge on a back face-side of a first side face of the first body and an edge on a back face-side of a second side face of the second body so that an angle formed by the first and second bodies is variable. The first and second blowing units come into contact at three or more points, and the directions of respective rotation axes of the first and second fans cross at a predetermined angle.

A fan system includes a motor, a rotatable hub, and a plurality of fan blades. The motor is coupled with the hub by a hollow drive shaft, such that the drive system of the fan system is gearless. The motor is controlled by a PFC-based control module, which is in communication with sensors that are configured to sense parameters associated with operation of the fan system. The control module is configured to react in certain ways to certain conditions detected by the sensors, such that the fan system uses feedback-based control algorithms. A remote control panel is in communication with the control module. The remote control panel is operable to display fault conditions detected by the sensors. Blade retainers prevent fan blades from falling when a fan blade breaks free from the hub. Pins prevent the hub from falling when the hub breaks free from the rotor.

A fan cowling assembly for mounting to a working machine, the fan cowling assembly including: a support for mounting to a working machine, the support defining an opening for receiving a plurality of rotatable blades of a fan, in use; a fan ring mounted to the support by a ring mounting arrangement, the fan ring being arranged to surround the plurality of rotatable blades, in use; wherein the ring mounting arrangement is configured such that the fan ring is moveable relative to the support when mounted thereto.

A fan including a hub having a central axis; a plurality of interlock blade elements connected to the hub by means of an interlock such that each interlock blade element is prevented from moving in a radial direction with respect to the hub; and an end blade element positioned on the hub between two interlock blade elements, the end blade element being fixed to the hub to prevent movement of each interlock blade element in a circumferential direction of the hub; wherein each interlock blade element is connected to the hub by a first blade movement in a radially inward direction with respect to the hub followed by a second blade movement in a circumferential direction of the hub to establish the interlock.

A hanging head connecting mechanism of a ceiling fan has a connecting seat, a hanging rod, and a motor shaft. The connecting seat has a connecting plate, a first bushing, a second bushing, and multiple connecting pieces. The second bushing is located around the first bushing. The hanging rod is mounted in the connecting seat and disposed between the first bushing and the second bushing. The motor shaft is mounted in the connecting seat and disposed inside the first bushing. The connecting pieces are serially mounted through the second bushing, the hanging rod, and the motor shaft. Two of the connecting pieces are each mounted on a respective one of two opposite sides of the second bushing, and a wire-routing gap is formed between the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece.

An assembling structure of a ceiling fan has a motor shaft and a driving assembly mounted on the motor shaft. The motor shaft is mounted through the driving assembly. The driving assembly has an upper cover, a lower cover, a chamber, a circuit board, and a positioning mechanism. The lower cover has a covering board and a mounting cylinder mounted in a center of the covering board, and is mounted on the motor shaft via the mounting cylinder. The chamber is formed between the upper cover and the lower cover. The circuit board is mounted in the chamber. The upper cover, the lower cover, and the circuit board are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. The positioning mechanism is mounted in the chamber and limits a mounting position of the circuit board. The present invention solves the noise issue.

A head mounted fan includes: a main blowing tube configured to be mounted on an upper portion of a head of a user, the main blowing tube having an air inlet through which air is introduced and including a main flow path through which air flows therein; a sub blowing tube connected to the main blowing tube, wherein the sub blowing tube includes a plurality of sub flow paths branching from the main flow path to extend in one direction of the head when the head mounted fan is worn on the head, and wherein air is discharged toward a scalp of the head through a plurality of air outlets communicating with the sub flow paths; and a wind generating unit configured to provide air pressure for causing the air to flow in the main flow path.
