  • Publication number: 20150003980
    Abstract: A ventilating device includes a rectangular frame, a louver, an adapter, a helix shell and a circuit board box. A mounting base at a bottom surface of the helix shell is configured for installation of a plurality of functional units thereon. The mounting base is provided with a base circuit board for interfacing with the functional units, and the circuit board box is coupled to the mounting base by a lead wire. Both the circuit board box and the mounting base include a hole, through which the lead wire passes. These holes are arranged in a linear manner in an up-down direction arranged at the side towards an air outlet. The plurality of functional units are configured to be freely assembled or disassembled individually to or from the mounting base.

  • Publication number: 20140206276
    Abstract: An adapter structure of a ventilating fan includes an oval metal adapter and an oval metal shutter provided in the metal adapter having a shape corresponding to the oval metal adapter. A symmetry axis of a longitudinal cross-section of the oval metal shutter in the horizontal direction is a major axis, and a symmetry axis in the vertical direction is a minor axis. The shutter rotates through a rotating shaft in the metal adapter, a curve point is provided between a projection point of a center line of the rotating shaft on the minor axis and a tail of the shutter a curved portion of the shutter is formed by curving the shutter from the curve point to an inner surface side of the shutter along the minor axis. Vibration of the shutter is suppressed in a position where the shutter is opened and turbulent flow is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20140187139
    Abstract: Ventilation device is mounted on inner wall in wind tunnel communicating between indoor and outdoor sides, having a ventilation louver. The ventilation louver includes a louver frame and a movable louver. Horizontal distance from position of gravity center of the movable louver to the inner wall is greater than horizontal distance from the movable louver shaft to the inner wall. A lever is disposed at a lower part of the louver frame to move in a left-right direction along bottom end face of the lower part of the louver frame. A connection element is provided to connect the movable louver with the lever between the movable louver and the louver frame, which is configured to be a slidable structure in the up-down direction, and transform the movement in the left-right direction of the lever to opening and closing movement of the movable louver around the movable louver shaft.

  • Publication number: 20120275938
    Abstract: A ventilating fan comprises a ventilating fan body, a ventilating fan mounting member, and a power supply case. A power supply wire disposed in the ventilating fan body to be connected to a blower is provided with an internal terminal at a leading end of the power supply wire. The power supply case projects from the power supply opening to be located outside the cylinder of the ventilating fan mounting member, and is fixed to the ventilating fan mounting member from the indoor side. An external terminal is mounted on an indoor side of the power supply case. An external electric wire for supplying electric power to the ventilating fan is connected with the external terminal in the power supply case, and the internal terminal is connected with the external terminal, so that the connection operation becomes simpler.
