DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] FIGS. 1 to 2 show a misting fan 100, which blows wind with water mist through functions of blowing and spraying, and can cool and humidify a preset site. The misting fan 100 provided in this example has a large shape and a high power, and can perform large-scale and continuous cooling and humidification of large venues, such as indoor and outdoor large stadiums, football fields, scenic spots, and the like. When the misting fan 100 works in a place far from a water source, the misting fan 100 can be connected to an external water source such as a bucket. When the misting fan 100 works indoors or in a place close to the water source, it can also be directly connected to a tap water pipe. Specifically, the misting fan 100 includes a host 11, a rack 12 and a power supply assembly 13. The host 11 and the power supply assembly 13 are both connected to the rack 12, the host 11 is also electrically connected with the power supply assembly 13, and the power supply assembly 13 is detachably connected to the rack 12.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the host 11 includes a housing assembly 111, a fan assembly 112 and a nozzle 113. The housing assembly 111 forms an accommodating space 111a, and the fan assembly 112 is at least partially disposed in the accommodating space 111a. The housing assembly 111 includes a main body portion 111b and a cover body 111c. The main body portion 111b is formed around the accommodating space 111a, and the cover body 111c is arranged around the main body portion 111b and connected to the main body portion 111b. The cover body 111c also at least partially closes the main body portion 111b and forms a through hole through which airflow flows in or out. Specifically, the cover body 111c has a mesh structure and is arranged on two sides of the main body portion 111b. The cover body 111c is further formed with a cavity 111d for installing or supporting the fan assembly 112, and the fan assembly 112 is installed to the host 11 through the cavity 111d. The cover body 111c is configured to be a structure rotatable with respect to the main body portion 111b. Specifically, the rotation is set to be smaller than the rotation speed of fan blades 112a, and the rotation of the cover body 111c drives the nozzle 113 to rotate, which is easier to combine with the rotating airflow, and plays a role of uniformly atomizing water mist. The water mist has a wider diffusion range, and further achieves a result of improving a cooling effect.

[0053] The fan assembly 112 includes the fan blades 112a and a motor 112b, and the motor 112b is used to drive the fan blades 112a to rotate around an axis of the motor 112b. The motor 112b is sealed by a waterproof material to prevent water mist from entering the motor under an action of the environment. Specifically, for example, the waterproof material can be a plastic film and so forth, and the motor is sealed by a plastic film through a process such as hot air and so on.

[0054] The nozzle 113 is used to spray water mist, and the nozzle 113 is mounted to the housing assembly 111 or the fan assembly 112. When the power supply assembly 13 is installed to the host 11, the misting fan 100 is activated. The water mist is sprayed from the nozzle 113 to the external environment, and the fan blade 112a rotates to generate an air flow to blow the water mist sprayed from the nozzle 113 into the air, thereby making the temperature of the air in the environment drops. In this example, the nozzle 113 is chosen to be a detachable and washable spray head, which is detachably connected to the housing assembly 111 or the fan assembly 112. Further, when the spray head is detachable, the nozzle 113 is provided with a filter screen. The filter screen is used to filter the water supply, which can reduce the frequency of disassembly and cleaning of the spray head, and the filter screen is detachably connected to the spray head. It is to be understood that the nozzle 113 is also connected with a water pipe assembly 114. The water pipe assembly 114 includes a water pump and a water-leading pipe. The water-leading pipe connects the water pump and the nozzle 113. Under the action of the water pump, the water is sucked into the water-leading pipe and can be transported to the nozzle 113 in a high-pressure state, so as to be sprayed in an atomized state. In order to avoid interference between the water leading pipe and other components, the housing assembly 111 is further provided with a receiving portion for accommodating the water leading pipe. As an implementation manner, the accommodating portion may be provided as a buckle for clamping the water leading pipe, or the housing assembly 111 itself forms an accommodating groove for accommodating or fixing the water leading pipe, so that the water-leading pipe can be closely attached to the housing assembly 111 to avoid interference with other components.

[0055] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present application, a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, an upper side and a lower side as shown in FIG. 2 are further defined. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, in a first plane 102 perpendicular to the rotation axis 112c of the motor 112b, the projection of the rack 12 in the first plane 102 along the direction of rotation axis is substantially rectangular. Therein, the rack 12 includes an extending portion 12a that can be placed and extends in a plane parallel to a placement plane 101 of the external environment. Moving wheels are arranged within the extending portion 12a, in particular at an end of the extending portion 12a. The rack 12 partially surrounds a peripheral side of the fan assembly 112, and is connected to the fan assembly 112 through at least a first pivot 127, and further, the rack 12 further includes a second pivot 128. The fan assembly 112 can rotate as a whole around the above-mentioned pivots, thereby driving the water mist sprayed from the nozzle to cover a larger area.

[0056] The rack 12 includes a first connecting assembly 121, a second connecting assembly 122 and a third connecting assembly 123. The second connecting assembly 122 forms a fixed connection with the first connecting assembly 121 and the third connecting assembly 123 respectively. In fact, the first connecting assembly 121, the second connecting assembly 122 and the third connecting assembly 123 can also be configured to be integrally formed, as long as the three of them meet the structural strength requirements. The rack 12 is formed with an accommodating groove for accommodating the host 11, and the host 11 is at least partially disposed in the accommodating groove and is fixedly or detachably connected with the rack 12. In this example, a first buffer portion 124 is provided at the connection between the second connecting assembly 122 and the first connecting assembly 121, and the first buffer portion 124 obliquely intersects with the first connecting assembly 121 and the second connecting assembly 122 at the same time. A second buffer portion 125 is provided at the connection between the second connecting assembly 122 and the third connecting assembly 123, and the second buffer portion 125 obliquely intersects with the second connecting assembly 122 and the third connecting assembly 123 at the same time. While saving the size of the whole machine, it is more convenient to switch the misting fan 100 among different standing postures. In this example, the first connecting assembly 121, the second connecting assembly 122 and the third connecting assembly 123 also extend in respective planes, thereby forming a plane on which the misting fan 100 can be placed. That is, the first connecting assembly 121, the second connecting assembly 122, and the third connecting assembly 123 can all be used as the extending portion 12a and can be used for placement of the misting fan 100.

[0057] Specifically, the first buffer portion 124 and the second buffer portion 125 are shell-shaped with multiple contact surfaces, and the first connecting assembly 121, the second connecting assembly 122, and the third connecting assembly 123 include a plurality of connecting rods 123a that are spaced apart. The plurality of connecting rods 123a are connected to the aforementioned buffer portions. The misting fan 100 includes at least a first standing posture as shown in FIG. 1 and a second standing posture shown in FIG. 4. When the misting fan 100 is in different standing postures, different positions of the rack 12 are in contact with the placement plane 101 and provide support. In this example, when the misting fan 100 is in a first standing posture, the second connecting assembly 122 contacts with the placement plane 101. When the misting fan 100 is in a second standing posture, the first connecting assembly 121 contacts with the placement plane 101. The standing postures mean that the misting fan 100 can be stably supported on the placement plane 101 without relying on external force, and the above-mentioned standing postures do not exclude the situation that the misting fan 100 moves along the placement plane 101 in these postures. In this example, part of end surfaces of the first and second buffer portions 124, 125 can be used as placement surfaces of the misting fan 100. At this time, a plane where the end surfaces are located is tangent to a lower edge of the moving wheel 14, and the second connecting assembly 122 is located above the plane or being flush with the plane. This enables the misting fan 100 to stand stably in the first standing posture shown in FIG. 2. This example has the second standing posture. For example, the first connecting assembly 121 is used as a base. At this time, another end of the first connecting assembly 121 is provided with a shell-shaped end. The shell-shaped end, a lower edge of the moving wheel 14 and an end of the first buffer portion 124 is used as a support for standing. That is, forming the above-mentioned extending portion 12a. The first connecting assembly 122 is located above or flush with the plane, which can ensure the stable standing of the misting fan 100.

[0058] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 7, the second buffer portion 125 is further provided with a battery compartment 126 for connecting the power supply assembly 13. As an example, the power supply assembly 13 is provided as one or more battery packs that can be directly mounted to the battery compartment 126. The first connecting assembly 121, the second connecting assembly 122 and the third connecting assembly 123 all include a set of substantially parallel connecting rods. The battery compartment 126 is substantially disposed in a joint space of the substantially parallel connecting rods 123a of the third connecting assembly 123 and fully utilizes the space between the third connection component 123 and the host 11. Wherein, the battery compartment 126 actually further fully utilizes the joint space of the connecting rods 123a of the third connecting assembly 123. The battery compartment 126 is substantially in the structure of a rectangular parallelepiped, the interior of which is hollow, and can fit with the power supply assembly 13. Inside the battery compartment 126, it is further provided with a joint portion or a connection terminal (not shown in the figure) for connecting the battery pack, so that when the battery pack is inserted into the battery compartment 126, the electrical connection with a control circuit can be realized. In this solution, the battery compartment 126 is further provided with a compartment cover 126a, which can rotate around a rotation axis and has a first position for closing a space in the battery compartment 126 and a second position for opening the space in the battery compartment 126. It can be understood that the compartment cover 126a is disposed on an end of the battery compartment 126 away from the third connecting assembly 123, so as to avoid generating interference with the third connecting assembly 123 when the compartment cover 126a is converted between the first position and the second position. The battery compartment 126 further extends along the extending direction of the second buffer portion 125, so as to better fit with the connecting rods 123a of the third connecting assembly 123, so as to make the connection relation between the battery compartment 126 and the third connecting assembly 123 is closer. In fact, the battery compartment 126 is disposed near the second connecting assembly 122, so that after the battery compartment 126 is installed with the battery pack, a center of gravity of the entire misting fan 100 is closer to a lower side. This makes the misting fan 100 more stable when it is placed and not easy to fall under the impact of an external environment. The second connecting assembly 122 substantially extends in a plane perpendicular to an up-down direction, and an outer contour of the battery compartment 126 is provided above the plane. That is, when the misting fan 100 is placed normally, the outer contour of the battery compartment 126 does not generate interference with the second connecting assembly 122, and a lower surface of the second connecting assembly 122 is used as the contact surface. In this example, it is further provided that an included angle of the placement plane 101 between the extending direction of the battery compartment 126 is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 90°, optionally greater than or equal to 10° and less than or equal to 75°, so as to match with the second buffer portion 125.

[0059] In this example, since a rated power of the misting fan 100 is large, in order to satisfy the function output of the misting fan 100 for a long time, the power supply assembly 13 is provided to have a large capacity, so that it has a large weight. In addition, the host 11 occupies a large space in the up-down direction and in a left-right direction due to a need to satisfy the blowing or spraying of a large area. Specifically, a size of the host 11 in the up-down direction L1 is greater than or equal to 400 mm and less than or equal to 550 mm; a size of the host 11 in the left-right direction L2 is greater than or equal to 400 mm and less than or equal to 500 mm. When the host 11 is installed on the rack 12, a diameter of the entire misting fan 100 is greater than or equal to 550 mm and less than or equal to 1000 mm. Specifically, a size of the entire misting fan 100 in the up-down direction L3 is set to be greater than or equal to 600 mm and less than or equal to 750 mm, and a size of the entire misting fan 100 in the left-right direction L4 is set to be greater than or equal to 650 mm and less than or equal to 800 mm. In this example, the host 11 of the misting fan 100 is further provided with a handle portion 111e configured to be lifted and carried, and the handle portion 111e further occupies a preset height in the up-down direction, so that a size of the entire machine of the misting fan 100 in the up-down direction is greater than or equal to 620 mm and less than or equal to 720 mm. Through the above arrangement, an air volume that can be blown out by the misting fan 100 provided in this example can reach 5000 cfm, thereby achieving a better cooling effect.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 10, as an example, the misting fan 100 is further provided with the moving wheel 14 configured to move. Specifically, the moving wheel 14 is provided on the first buffer portion 124 and can rotate around a rotation axis. Specifically, the rotating shaft is provided on the first connecting component 121 or the second connecting component 122. As an example, two moving wheels 14 are provided, which are respectively located on the connecting rods of the first connecting assembly 121 or the second connecting assembly 122. It can be understood that one or more moving wheels 14 can also be provided, so that they can be optionally provided on the connecting rods and are configured to move the misting fan 100. The moving wheel 14 has a circumferential outer contour, and when it is mounted to the first connecting assembly 121 or the second connecting assembly 122, its outer contour is substantially flush with the placement plane 101 or is located on an upper side of the placement plane 101. Thus, when the misting fan 100 is normally placed, the outer contour of the moving wheel 14 does not interfere with the second connecting assembly 122, and a lower surface of the second connecting assembly 122 is used as a contact surface, or the outer contour of the moving wheel 14 and the lower surface of the second connecting assembly 122 are used as the contact surface at the same time. In order to facilitate the movement of the misting fan 100, a handle assembly 15 which is matched with the moving wheel 14 is further provided. Specifically, the handle assembly 15 includes a main body portion 151 extending substantially in a linear direction and a grip portion 152 connected to the main body portion 151. The grip portion 152 includes an inner contour and an outer contour. The inner contour is arranged around the battery compartment 126, and the outer contour is configured to be flush with the placement plane 101 in the up-down direction or to be on the upper side of the placement plane 101. The grip portion 152 includes a first grip portion 152a extending in the same direction as the battery compartment 126 and a second grip portion 152b substantially parallel to the placement plane 101. The first grip portion 152a includes two oppositely disposed units, and the second gripping portion 152b is configured as a semi-enclosed annular member connecting the two first gripping portions 152a. Since the misting fan 100 of this example has various standing postures, the above structure combined with the positions of the third connecting component 123 and the battery compartment 126 can fully protect the safety of the battery compartment 126 in different standing postures. Even when the fan is in a walking state, it can also improve the stability of the battery pack and reduce the vibration of the battery pack. Based on the size of the misting fan 100 in this example, the arrangement of the battery compartment 126 can make the whole machine have a more stable center of gravity.

[0061] The handle assembly 15 is further provided as a telescopic structure, and is arranged on an end of the second connecting assembly 122 away from the moving wheel 14. In this example, the connecting rods of the second connecting assembly 122 are provided as hollow structure, which can be configured to accommodate at least part of the handle assembly 15.

[0062] The handle assembly 15 has a first state and a second state. When the handle assembly 15 is in the first state, the handle assembly 15 is in a retracted state, and at this time, the inner contour of the grip portion 152 is substantially fitted with or close to the battery compartment 126. The main body portion 151, the first grip portion 152a and the second grip portion 152b surround each side surface of the battery compartment 126, respectively. When the handle assembly 15 is in the second state, the handle assembly 15 is in an extended state. At this time, the main body portion 151 of the handle assembly 15 protrudes from the second connecting assembly 122 to a preset length, so as to facilitate holding. At this time, it is possible to make the misting fan 100 is dragged at a certain angle with the ground, and can roll forward along the ground under the action of moving wheel. In order to facilitate the operation, when the misting fan 100 is dragged at the certain angle with the ground, its center of gravity is set to be located between the grip portion 152 and the moving wheel 14. More specifically, when the misting fan 100 is dragged at the certain angle with the ground, its center of gravity is set close to the moving wheel 14.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 9, the misting fan 100 is further provided with a control module 16 configured to control an output mode and an output power. The control module 16 is provided on the third connection assembly 123, located between the two connecting rods of the third connection assembly 123, and is located at an upper end of the battery compartment 126. Specifically, a panel 16a of the control module 16 includes a power button 161, an air volume display screen 162, an air volume control button 163, a water mist control button 164, a top-gear button 165 and a first indicator light 166. The power button 161 is used to control the misting fan 100 to be turned on or off, and can control the misting fan 100 to enter a remote control mode in a power-on state. In addition, the air volume display screen 162 includes a plurality of gear displays, and can reflect a current output air volume in real time. The air volume control button 163 includes a first control button 163a and a second control button 163b. The first control button 163a is used to decrease the air volume, and the second control button 163b is used to increase the air volume. The water mist control button 164 is used to control the water mist to be turned on or off. When the water mist is turned off, the spraying fan 100 can be used as a normal fan, which only blows air. When the water mist is turned on, the spraying fan 100 can perform spraying and blowing actions at the same time. As an example, the water mist control button 164 further includes a water mist multi-gear adjustment button 164a, and the water mist multi-gear adjustment button 164a controls a output power or pressure of the water pump through a circuit, and then controls the water mist to be sprayed at different sizes or rates and display on the display screen, so as to meet the different needs of different application scenarios. The top-gear button 165 is used to control the fan to output a maximum air volume by controlling the motor to reach a maximum power. When the top-gear button 165 is pressed, the first indicator light 166 lights up or flashes, indicating that the misting fan 100 has reached the maximum air volume. When the maximum air volume is reached by pressing the second control button 163b for many times, the first indicator light 166 also lights up or flashes accordingly. In other examples, the first indicator light 166 may also be used to display the power level of the battery assembly.

[0064] The present example further includes a control method of nozzles 113. The control module 16 can control the nozzles 113 to reduce the total amount of water output from the nozzles 113 for a period of time, while ensuring that a water output pressure from the nozzles 113 remains unchanged. That is, within a time T, when an outlet pressure of a single nozzle is P, a total amount of a water output from the nozzles 113 is Q, and this process is recorded as a maximum water volume required under a given nozzle outlet pressure. Under an action of the control module 16, within the time T, when the outlet pressure of a single nozzle is P, the total amount of water output from the nozzles 113 is Q′, and this Q′<Q. Specifically, under the action of the control module 16, the water volume can be reduced to 10%-90% of the maximum water output Q, that is, 0.1Q≤Q′≤0.9Q. Further, the water volume can be reduced to 33% or 66% of the maximum water output Q, and the misting effect and cooling performance can also be guaranteed.

[0065] The above example for reducing water volume includes but is not limited to the following examples:

[0066] In an example, the control module 16 controls the nozzles 113 to have a time interval t between an n.sup.th spraying of water mist and an n+1.sup.th spraying of water mist, where n≥1. The control module 16 realizes a pulsed water misting by controlling a start and stop of the water pump. An original outlet pressure is maintained when the n.sup.th and n+1.sup.th spraying of water mist, which can ensure the required atomization effect and reduce the required water volume at the same time. As a user, when using the misting fan, a continuous water spray will affect the user on the contrary, causing it to form accumulated water spots at a sprayed place. As the pulsed water spray has the required atomization effect, a continuous blowing is combined with an interval time, so that the moisture on the user's skin, a surface of the clothing and a surface of working piece evaporates, keeping the work dry. In this example, a rotation function of the fan assembly can be combined to make the water mist cover a wider range. Specifically, when the misting fan 100 is in a spray interval, the control module 16 can control the misting fan 100 to rotate at a certain angle, or, when the misting fan 100 is in the spray interval, the control module 16 can control the misting fan 100 to reduce the rotation speed. That is, the misting fan 100 swings fast during spraying and swings slow after spraying and so on.

[0067] In another example, the control module 16 controls a part of the nozzles 113 to spray water mist, and the remaining nozzles stop spraying water mist. At the same time, the control module 16 calculates and reduces a water supply by reducing a working power and so on of the pump, so that the outlet pressure of the nozzles maintains at a predetermined pressure, the predetermined pressure is greater than or equal to 60 PSI and less than or equal to 1000 PSI, and can be selected to be greater than or equal to 80 PSI and less than or equal to 600 PSI. In this example, the water pipe assembly 114 connecting each nozzle 113 includes a plurality of individually controlled pipelines, or the water pipe assembly 114 is composed of a main water circuit and a plurality of branch circuits corresponding to each of the nozzles 113. The connection between the branch circuit and the main water circuit is provided with a valve controlled by the control module. The valve is used to control the opening and closing of each branch. Since in this example, the nozzles 113 are equally spaced on a circumference of the fan, when some of the nozzles are controlled to be open and some of the nozzles are controlled to close, the opened nozzles should be spaced and evenly distributed on the misting fan.

[0068] In another example, the control module 16 controls at least part of the nozzles 113 to reduce a diameter of a water outlet. Or the diameters of the nozzles 113 are reduced by the user's operation. The above-mentioned methods for reducing the diameter of the nozzles include, but are not limited to rotating nozzles and so on. Specifically, switching structures are provided within the nozzles, and the control module 16 or the user can change the diameters of the nozzles 113 through the switching structures. At the same time, the control module 16 calculates and reduces a water supply by reducing a working power and so on of the pump, so that the outlet pressure of the nozzles maintains at a predetermined pressure, the predetermined pressure is greater than or equal to 60 PSI and less than or equal to 1000 PSI, and can be selected to be greater than or equal to 80 PSI and less than or equal to 600 PSI.

[0069] This example also includes a control method of a pump for protecting the operation of the pump. when the pump is working, when it is detected that a working current of the pump is greater than a maximum rated working current, the control module 16 determines that the pump is blocked, and the control module 16 controls the pump to stop working. When the pump is working, when it is detected that the working current of the pump is less than the minimum rated working current for a continuous time to, the control module 16 determines that the pump is dry-heated, and the control module 16 controls the pump to stop working. As shown in FIG. 11, the panel 16a of the control module 16 further includes a second indicator light 167. The second indicator light is used to display whether the pump is in a fault state. When the pump is in a blocked or a dry-heated condition, the control module 16 controls the second indicator light 167 to flash to prompt the user.

[0070] When the misting fan 100 is set for a remote control through a power control, the misting fan 100 can be controlled and operated through other clients or platforms. As an example, the misting fan 100 can be controlled via a Bluetooth connection. It is to be understood that the misting fan 100 can also be controlled by other means, such as being controlled by communication control. In this example, when the misting fan 100 is controlled via the Bluetooth, it can control a wind speed of the misting fan 100, an amount of water sprayed, a startup and shutdown of the machine and a timed startup and shutdown of the machine, and can also control the switch of the indicator lights of the display screen.

[0071] In a second example as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a misting fan 200 has a part of the structure that is different from the previous example, and only the difference from the misting fan 100 of a first example is described here. The same structure uses the same reference signs, and is not stated again.

[0072] The misting fan 200 includes a water inlet pipe 203, and the water inlet pipe 203 is connected to a pump. In this example, the pump is installed in the battery compartment 126, and the water inlet pipe 203 is led out from the battery compartment 126. Since both the battery pack and the pump are arranged in the battery compartment 126, in order to ensure the safety of the battery pack, a partition plate is provided in the battery compartment to divide an accommodating space into a plurality of mutually closed chambers.

[0073] The rack 12 is provided with a fixing portion 202 to fix and receive the water inlet pipe 203. Specifically, according to the length of the water inlet pipe 203, there may be a plurality of fixing portions 202, which are respectively provided on the first connecting assembly, the second connecting assembly and the third connecting assembly. Since an end of the water inlet pipe 203 is generally equipped with a filter device 201, in order to ensure the cleanness of the filter device 201, the fixing portion at an end of the water inlet pipe 203 is located away from a position of the battery compartment 126, and is specifically located in the middle and upper portion of the first connecting assembly 121. Thus, the water inlet pipe 203 starting from the third connecting assembly 123 extends along the second connecting assembly 122, and extends from bottom to top to the middle portion of the first connecting assembly 121. At this time, the lower end of the filter device 201 is fixed in the fixing portion 202 upwards, and the water inlet pipe is 203 is in a first storage state 210.

[0074] An upper end of the first connecting assembly 121 includes a housing surface parallel to a horizontal plane, or includes a groove, which can be used as a placement position of the water inlet pipe 203. At this time, the water inlet pipe 203 is in a second storage state, and this state can be used as a temporary placement position of the water inlet pipe 203, a fixing portion may be arranged as a storage fixing position.

[0075] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the misting fan 200 further includes a water outlet pipe 206. The water outlet pipe 206 is led out from the battery compartment 126 and introduced into the fan assembly through the first connecting assembly 121 and the second pivot 128 in sequence. In this example, the nozzles are arranged in a center stand 204 of a cover. Since there are multiple nozzles, and they are distributed at equal distances along the center stand 204, an annular water diversion pipe 205 is arranged in the center stand 204, supplying the water source in the water outlet pipe 206 to the nozzles respectively.

[0076] In a third example shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, a misting fan 300 can also be provided with a hook 310 matched with the handle portion 111e or the rack 12, so that the misting fan 300 can be hung to a preset height or a preset position. In this example, for the sake of convenience, the same structures use the same reference signs as those in the first and second examples, and only the differences from the first and second examples are described here.

[0077] The hook 310 is detachably connected to the misting fan 300. The hook 310 includes a first hook 311, a second hook 313 and a connecting portion 312, and the connecting portion 312 connects the first hook 311 and the second hook 313. The first hook 311 is used for detachable connection with the second connecting assembly 122, or detachable connection with the handle portion 111e. The second hook 313 is used for detachable connection with a fixture in the external environment. The connecting portion 312 extends along a first direction 301, and the first direction 301 may be parallel to a setting plane of the fan assembly, may also be perpendicular to the setting plane, or may be at a certain angle to the setting plane, or the connecting portion 312 has a mechanism which can adjust the relative relationship between the first direction 301 and the setting plane, so as to adapt to different external environments. In other examples, the hook 310 may also be a flexible structure or other detachable structures in other forms, which is not limited herein.

[0078] In a fourth example as shown in FIG. 17, a misting fan 400 has a part of the structure that is different from the previous example. Only the differences from the misting fan 100 of the first example are described here, and the same structure uses the same reference signs, and is not stated again.

[0079] The misting fan 400 includes a water inlet pipe 410, a first end of the water inlet pipe 410 is connected to the nozzles 113 through a pipeline, and a second end extends outward from the misting fan 400 and is connected to a water source. The first end of the water inlet pipe 410 can be connected to a pump or an internal waterway system. The internal waterway system refers to the waterway system that connects the nozzles 113 inside the misting fan 400. When the pump is installed in the battery compartment 126, the water inlet pipe 410 may extend from the battery compartment 126, or be integrated inside the housing of the rack and extend from one side of the misting fan 400.

[0080] The misting fan 400 is further provided with a water distribution pipe 420 connected to the water inlet pipe 410, and the water distribution pipe 420 is detachably connected with the water inlet pipe 410. The water distribution pipe 420 includes at least a first water distribution pipe 421 and a second water distribution pipe 422. The first water distribution pipe 421 is used to connect to a first external water source, and the second water distribution pipe 422 is used to connect to a second external water source. The first external water source is a static water source, and the second external water source is a flowing water source. The static water source is to be understood as water contained in a reservoir, such as water in a bucket. The second external water source is specifically the flowing water source, and the flowing water source is to be understood as a water source having a certain flow rate, such as tap water.

[0081] A quick release mechanism 430 is provided at the connection between the water inlet pipe 410 and the water distribution pipe 420. The quick release device 430 includes a first connecting head 431 provided at an end of the water inlet pipe 410 and a second connecting head 432 disposed at an end of the water distribution pipe 420. The first connection head 431 and the second connection head 432 are configured to be detachably connected to each other. Specifically, they can be connected in the form of threaded caps and threads, or they can be connected by means of compression type, socket type, and so on, which is not limited herein.

[0082] The water distribution pipe 420 is provided with a connection head or a filter device, and the connection head is used to connect an external dynamic water source or to extend the pipeline. A structure for accommodating the water inlet pipe 410 or the water distribution pipe 420 is also arranged in the rack or the battery compartment.

[0083] The water inlet pipe 410 is provided with a pressure-stabilizing valve, which is used to reduce the water hammer phenomenon, and can be optionally arranged on the upstream of the pump. There is generally a one-way valve for the water to flow in and out of the pump respectively. When the pump encounters the water hammer phenomenon, the instantaneous pressure is about tens of kilograms. The one-way valve of the pump is generally made of plastic. Under the impact of this moment, it may cause deformation, breakage and fall off, etc., which affects the supply of water flow to the misting fan. The pressure-stabilizing valve can reduce the damage to the pump structure caused by the water hammer effect, improve the stability of the misting fan, and prolong the service life.
