Patent number: 10364824Abstract: An adapter structure for a ventilating fan, including an adapter having an air inlet; an air guide structure having an air inlet, and a mounting structure for mounting the air guide structure within the adapter. The mounting structure includes a first portion provided at an outer side of a flange of the air inlet of the air guide structure and a second portion provided at an inner side of the adapter so that the mounting structure is positioned between the air inlet of the air guide structure and the air inlet of the adapter. With the adapter structure for a ventilating fan according to the present invention, the airflow amount is prevented from being reduced, and noise is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignees: PANASONIC ECOLOGY SYSTEMS GUANGDONG CO., LTD., PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Qiming Wu, Qiuqian Liang, Naoya Araki, Masato Suzuki

Patent number: 10151319Abstract: A ventilating fan, includes a housing having an opening at a bottom surface thereof, a casing disposed in the housing, fan blades and a motor disposed in the casing, and a wiring box fixed on the casing and composed of a box body and a cover. The wiring box is fixed on the casing through a fixing structure, the fixing structure includes a first fixing means and a second fixing means, and the first fixing means includes a screw fixing structure, and the second fixing means includes an engaging fixing structure. An advantage of the ventilating fan lies in that, while preventing a user from detaching the wiring box manually, the ventilating fan has reduced components and can simplify operating steps during fixing the wiring box on the casing, and is thereby less time consuming.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignees: Panasonic Ecology Systems Guangdong Co., Ltd., Panasonic CorporationInventors: Qiuqian Liang, Naoya Araki, Masato Suzuki

Patent number: 8186656Abstract: To provide a sauna device having a small number of components without any special heat source, operable at a low running cost, and capable of turning a sauna room into a high humidity space with low noise. The sauna device has a heating/humidifying unit for heating/humidifying air, a ventilating unit for exhausting the air in the sauna room, and a control unit for controlling the heating/humidifying unit and the ventilating unit. The heating/humidifying unit has a heating section for heating the air through a circulation blowing section for circulating the air in the sauna room and a humidifying section for humidifying the heated air having passed through the heating section. The humidified air is blown out into the sauna room through the humidifying section. A bent portion where the air-blowing duct through which the humidified air having passed through the humidifying section passes is bent is provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2007Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Satoshi Fujii, Masayosi Toujyou, Shigeru Morikawa, Naoya Araki, Yasuaki Shima, Daisuke Ogawa, Masahiro Fujita, Seiji Mizuno, Daisuke Tsubosa, Yasuhiro Suzuki, Yoshio Ikari, Hideyuki Fujisawa
