Mechanical fan originated in 1830 James Byron Inspired by the structure of clocks and watches, the Americans of ceiling A mechanical fan driven by a spring. The cool wind brought by the rotating blades of this fan makes people feel cool, but it is troublesome to climb a ladder to wind up.
In 1872, a Frenchman named Joseph developed another kind of wind turbine startup gear The mechanical fan driven by chain device is much more refined than the mechanical fan invented by Byron, and it is also more convenient to use.
In 1880, Americans Shule For the first time, the blade is directly installed on the motor, and then connected to the power supply. The blade rotates at full speed, and the gusts of cool wind hit the face, which is the first in the world Taidian Fan.

In addition, DC motor DC brushless motor Such small power motors are also increasingly used in small electric fans.
When the electric fan works (assuming that there is no heat transfer between the room and the outside world), the temperature in the room will rise instead of decreasing. Let's analyze the reason for the temperature rise: when the electric fan is working, because there is a current passing through the coil of the electric fan, and the wire has resistance, it will inevitably generate heat to release heat, and the temperature will naturally rise. But why do people feel Cool Because there are a lot of sweat When the electric fan works, the indoor air will flow, so it can promote the rapid evaporation of sweat. Combined with "evaporation needs to absorb a lot of heat", people will feel cool.

  1. one
    Check the accompanying documents. The accompanying documents of each electric fan include the instruction manual, product certificate, electrical circuit diagram and packing list. When purchasing, check the quantity and quality of parts according to the packing list.
  2. two
    Check whether the mesh cover and fan blade have obvious deformation: on the assembled electric fan mesh cover, use a pen to point to the highest point of a fan blade, slowly move the fan blade, and the distance between the corresponding points of other fan blades and the pen tip should be very close, then rotate the fan blade, pay attention to whether the rotation is light and flexible, and can stop at any position.
  3. three
    Check whether the control mechanism is flexible: the control mechanism includes speed regulating switch, timing knob, rocker switch, lighting switch, etc. These control mechanisms should be flexible in operation and reliable in contact. For the speed control gear, it is not allowed to switch on two gears at the same time or press down the first gear. Press the stop key, and all speed gear keys shall be reset normally.
  4. four
    Check the performance of the moving part: the fan head of the electric fan can operate flexibly at the pitching and pitching angles, and can be locked firmly. Adjust it to the maximum pitching angle or shake the head to the final position. The mesh cover shall not collide with the fan pillar. When the fan is running, the stability shall be good, and the head shaking angle shall not be less than 60-80 degrees.
  5. five
    Starting performance: starting performance is an important quality indicator of electric fans. During the inspection, it shall be adjusted to the low wind gear, and when the rated voltage of the power supply is 85%, that is, when the voltage regulator is used to reduce the 220 V voltage to 187 V, the electric fan shall be able to start from standstill and operate normally. The shorter the time required for an electric fan to start to operate normally, the better the starting performance of the fan motor.
  6. six
    Check the operation and speed regulation performance: after power on, rotate the rocker switch repeatedly to check whether it is out of order or assembled too tightly. During this process, there should be no abnormal noise in the mechanical transmission part of the fan. When the electric fan operates in mild, medium and strong wind, the motor and fan blades shall be stable, with small vibration and low noise. The fan shall shake its head and stop quickly without intermission, stagnation and jitter. The speed difference of each gear shall be obvious. The larger the air supply angle, the better. When the fan stops running, the axial clearance of the shaft does not exceed 0.5 cm. If the clearance is too large, it will cause axial displacement and impact sound during operation.
  7. seven
    Check whether there is electric leakage: after the electric fan is powered on, if there is a strong hemp inductance when touched by the hand, use the test pen to test, and the test pen will also emit light, which can be used to determine the shell leakage, and cannot be selected.

edit
1. The rotating shaft of the fan should have lubricating oil, otherwise the motor on the fan blade cannot drag. If you are at home, you can choose to turn off the power, and then move the blades. If the rotation is stiff, there is basically no lubricating oil.
2. Wear caused by long time use. If a fan is used for a long time, the motor will be lost Worn shaft sleeve It is easy to burn off.
3. The fan does not rotate due to overheating. There is a motor in the fan device, and there will be an overheating in the motor Circuit breaker , if Coil winding A short circuit occurs at Calorific value Increase in a short time, so that the motor will "strike" and not move.
4、 Starting capacitance The capacity becomes smaller. When the fan is used for a long time, the capacitance will be reduced, resulting in the motor Starting torque It becomes smaller and cannot drive the load.
5. Many times, the reason why the fan blades do not rotate is poor maintenance. If the fan blade rotates stiffly by hand after turning off the power supply, some lubricating oil should be used to drop into the rotating shaft so that it can be lubricated, so as not to affect the motor to drag the fan blade.
6. The simplest way to prevent the blades from rotating due to wear is to replace parts, especially axle sleeve , if it is easy to burn off after wearing.
7. If the capacity of the capacitor decreases and the fan does not rotate, the capacitor can be removed and replaced with a new capacitor of the same model. It is recommended that Selection ratio The original capacitance is 20% larger, which will have better rotation effect.
8. Rotating shaft Axial clearance Too big a problem. You can choose to remove the motor Adjusting shim However, remember that when installing the motor back, the rotor must be concentric with the bearing. The lubrication screw should be slowly tightened diagonally. Finally, knock the shaft with a wooden handle to ensure that it is concentric.
9. If it's because Electrical fault You can check each line of the wiring, sometimes the wire is damaged, and repair the problem.

Electricity saving method

First of all, we should choose products of high quality when shopping. Since the technical threshold of fan industry is low and the products on the market are uneven, we must choose products of well-known brands to ensure the quality.
Secondly, because electric fans can directly convert electric energy into kinetic energy, the power consumption is very low, Maximum power Only 60W, which is equivalent to the power consumption of the table lamp for general lighting, so from energy conservation From the perspective of, it is undoubtedly the best choice to use electric fans in midsummer. When the electric fan is used together with the air conditioner, the air conditioner temperature is set at 26 ℃~28 ℃, which will save electricity and money.
Third, as far as the use of the fan itself is concerned Fan leaf Large fan electric power The power consumption of the electric fan is proportional to the speed of the fan blade. For example, for a 400mm electric fan, the power consumption is 60W when using strong wind, and only 40W when using slow gear. The power consumption of the fastest and slowest gear of the same electric fan is 40% different. Therefore, the power consumption of the electric fan can be reduced by turning on strong wind at ordinary times and using more light wind after cooling down. Try to use light wind or apoplexy
Fourth, when in use, the fan should be placed next to the door and window to facilitate air circulation, improve the cooling effect, shorten the use time and reduce power consumption.
Finally, pay attention to the maintenance of the fan at ordinary times to maintain its good performance and avoid the occurrence of deformation, vibration and other conditions of the fan blades, which is also conducive to the saving of electric energy to a certain extent.

In hot summer, when you turn on the electric fan, the breeze blows your face. Many people can get sick due to improper use of electric fan. The reason is that many people lack the common sense of using electric fan.
Electric fans are the main thing for many people in summer Heatstroke prevention Appliance. However, some people use electric fans improperly, which brings harm to health cold Facial nerve paralysis scapulohumeral periarthritis have a pain in the back Etc.
Five misunderstandings of electric fan:
1. Long term blowing
Many people like to blow the electric fan for a long time. They feel that they stop when they have just cooled down. They feel that they are still hot. It is better to blow it for a long time. However, blowing on the electric fan for a long time, Body temperature It will drop with the evaporation of sweat, which is easy to cause catch cold , cold abdominal pain , diarrhea and other diseases. Generally, it is better to blow for half an hour to one hour at a time.
2. Quick blow
In order to cool down as soon as possible, some people turn on the electric fan as fast as possible, thinking that the wind is strong enough to relieve fever. This is improper practice. When the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, air temperature Close to human Normal body temperature The wind from the electric fan is also high temperature wind. At this time, the heat of human body mainly depends on sweat Evaporative heat dissipation , if the electric fan blows too much, the skin surface temperature When it drops, the pores are blocked, the sweat inside the body cannot be distributed, and it will feel hot. At the same time, fatigue and weakness will occur, and backache will occur. This is called "holding back sweat". Therefore, it is not suitable to use electric fan to blow at high speed, instead, it should be adjusted to medium speed or low speed, and it is better to blow gentle breeze.
3. Close wind
The electric fan should not be placed close to the body. If the strong wind blows close to the body and only blows on one side of the body, the sweat of the skin on the windward side will evaporate quickly and the temperature will decrease significantly. The sweat on the windless side will evaporate slowly, causing the sweat on both sides of the body to blood circulation And sweat excretion, Nervous center It will lose its balance. Once the time is too long, the organs will be exhausted, and the whole body will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, when blowing the electric fan, it is better to keep a distance of 2 meters away from people to make the wind blowing even and soft.
4. Blowing steady wind
Most of the electric fans are head shaking fans. When blowing, the electric fan constantly moves its position and direction, forming large and small puffs, so that the body surface receives wind slowly, and people will not feel too cold and feel the temperature of the whole body is even. Therefore, it is better to use a head shaking fan instead of blowing directional wind.
5. Sleep Blow
That is to use electric fan to cool down and sleep. When people are asleep, the functions of all organs of the body drop to the lowest level Reflection disappears Decreased immunity , easy to cause disease.
