DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(14) A first preferred embodiment of a hanging structure 100 for a wall fan in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, includes a fixing unit 10 and a hanging unit 20 as main components combined together.

(15) The fixing unit 10 consists of a board 11 to be locked on a wall. The board 11 is provided thereon with two first hanging members 12 and two first locking members 13, and the two first locking members 13 are longitudinally fixed on the board 11 and respectively bored with a threaded hole 14, which is spaced apart from the board 11. The two first hanging members 12 are respectively a hook, formed integrally with the board 11 and fixed longitudinally on the board 11.

(16) The hanging unit 20 contains a casing 21 fixed on the wall fan and serving as a power source control box. The casing 21 is provided therein with a second hanging member 22, which is a cross bar spaced apart from the casing 21 and by which the casing 21 can be hung on the first hanging members 12 of the board 11. Further, the casing 21 is formed with two second locking members 23 respectively corresponding to the first locking members 13 of the board 11, and the second locking members 23 are respectively a locking hole 24 corresponding with the threaded hole 14 of the first locking member 13 so that screws can be inserted through the locking holes 24 and screwed with the threaded hole 14 from the outside to lock the casing 21 on the board 11, letting the casing 21 roughly cover the board 11. The casing 21 is further formed with an opening 25 for power source wires of the wall fan to be inserted therethrough for facilitating connection of a power source.

(17) Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the hanging structure 100 for a wall fan in the present invention, able to hang a wall fan 200 on a wall, further includes a connecting rod 21 and a wall fan control member 40.

(18) The connecting rod 30 has one end connected with the casing 21 and another end connected with the wall fan 200.

(19) The wall fan control member 40 is received in the casing 21 and extended out of the casing 21 and electrically connected with the wall fan 200 for controlling rotation speed and intensity of the wall fan 200.

(20) Referring to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, to make use of the hanging structure 100 for hanging the wall fan 200 on a wall, firstly, have the board 11 of the fixing unit 10 firmly locked on a wall 300 and then, make the second hanging member 22 of the casing 21 aligned to the first hanging members 12 of the board 11 and thus the casing 21 can easily be positioned and hung on the board 11. Lastly, screws are inserted through the second locking members 23 (locking holes 24) and screwed in the threaded holes 14 of the first locking members 13 to assemble the casing 21 on the board 11 and have the wall fan 200 hung on the wall 300 via the hanging structure 100.

(21) Referring to FIGS. 6-8, since the first hanging members 12 are formed integrally with the board 11 and made in a metal processing way of punching press; therefore, the first hanging members 12 has good supporting and hanging functions. Moreover, by having the second hanging member 22 of the casing 21 hung on the first hanging members 12 of the board 11, aligning and positioning operation between the threaded holes 14 of the board 11 and the second locking members 23 (locking holes 24) of the casing 21 can be completed at the same time, able to simplify locking operation out of the casing 21. Thus, by having the board 11 and the casing 21 of the hanging structure 100 assembled together, the risk that positioning and locking operation of the conventional hanging structure always results in failure because of wrong measure in space and distance can be eliminated. The hanging structure for a wall fan of this invention is impossible to carry out horizontal and longitudinal displacement and hence can be firmly hung on a wall, able to attain effect of protection and improve the shortcomings that the conventional hanging structure can only be prevented from shifting horizontally but cannot avoid carrying out longitudinal displacement. Further, the casing 21 can roughly cover the board 11, able to increase visual beauty.

(22) A second preferred embodiment of a hanging structure 100 for a wall fan in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11, has the board 11 of the fixing unit 10 provided thereon with four first hanging members 12 and a first locking member 13, and the casing 21 of the hanging unit 20 provided with four second hanging members 22 and a second locking member 23 (locking hole 24). The first hanging members 12 are respectively a hook, and the second hanging members 22 are respectively an insert hole and thus, the casing 21 can be hung on the first hanging members 12 of the board 11 via the second hanging members 22. The first locking member 13 of the fixing unit 10 is extended out of the casing 21 to make the threaded hole 14 of the first locking member 13 and the second locking member 23 (locking hole 24) of the casing 21 aligned to each other so that a screw can be inserted in both the threaded hole 14 and the second locking member 23 (locking hole 24) from the outside for firmly locking the casing 21 on the board 11.

(23) Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, compared with the first preferred embodiment, the second preferred embodiment that is provided with the four second hanging members 12 is easy to attain aligning and positioning effects and has good supporting function and further can evenly distribute hanging load of the first hanging members 12, able to support the hanging structure more stably. In addition, the first locking member 13 of the fixing unit 10 is extended out of the casing 21 to let the threaded hole 14 of the first locking member 13 and the second locking member 23 (locking hole 24) of the casing 21 corresponding with each other, not only facilitating carrying out aligning and locking operation from the outside, but also stabilizing the hanging structure after the hanging structure is locked. And by so designing, the hanging structure 100 and the wall fan 200 are impossible to carry out horizontal and longitudinal displacement, thus achieving effect of protection.

(24) To sun up, the hanging structure for a wall fan of this invention is easy to have the second hanging members of the casing and the first hanging members of the board aligned mutually, fixed in position and hung together, and the first locking member of the board and the second locking member of the casing can conveniently be locked together to complete hanging a wall fan on a wall. Thus, the wall fan can be firmly hung on a wall to avoid displacement, able to attain effect of protection and simplify aligning, positioning and locking operation.

(25) While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
