Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates generally to a technical field
of ventilation device, and more particularly to a ventilation
device which is mounted on a ceiling or a wall of a bathroom and
capable of ventilating the bathroom.
2. Description of Related Art
[0002] The ventilation device has been widely used in the bathroom
of the family because of its function of adjusting the air and
changing the air flow. Conventional ventilation devices comprise a
housing defining an internal passageway, a fan rotationally
disposed within the internal passageway, and a motor disposed in
the internal passageway to drive the fan to rotate. The housing has
an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the internal
passageway and the outside. When air enters the internal passageway
from the air inlet, the fan located in the internal passageway
guides the air out of the environment from the air outlet.
[0003] However, after the conventional ventilation device is used
for a period of time, the exhaust efficiency of the fan located in
the housing may be reduced due to dust accumulation. This may even
cause damage to the motor that drives the fan to rotate. When
replacing the motor, it is necessary to hold the housing with one
hand and remove the screws that lock the housing and the fan and
then the motor can be taken out from the internal passageway. In
this way, not only is the process of taking out the motor quite
inconvenient, but also, after replacing the motor, the screws need
to be aligned with the screw holes for re-locking, making the
replacement process more difficult. Therefore, the structural
design of the conventional ventilation device still needs to be
improved.
[0004] In view of this, how to improve the above problems and
develop a more simple and convenient way of disassembling and
assembling the ventilation device has become the subject of the
present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a
ventilation device that is simpler and more convenient to
disassemble and assemble.

of the present invention, the technical means of the present
invention are that a ventilation device comprises a housing (1)
having an receiving space (11) disposed therein, an air inlet (12)
and an air outlet (13) disposed at both sides of the receiving

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0025] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the figures show a
ventilation device used in a bathroom. The ventilation device
comprises a housing (1) having an receiving space (11) disposed
therein, an air inlet (12) and an air outlet (13) disposed at both
sides of the receiving space (11) and communicating with the
receiving space (11), a baffle piece (131) pivotally disposed at
the air outlet (13), and a bottom cover (14) disposed at a bottom
of the housing; a fan module (3) detachably disposed in the
receiving space (11) of the housing (1) and fastened to the
positioning member (2); and a power control device (4) disposed in
the receiving space (11) with its shell connected to the inner wall
corresponding to the housing (1) in a detachable manner. The power
control device (4) is electrically connected with the fan module
(3), and has a wire-arranging element (41) for fixing the electric
wires of the fan module (3).
[0026] With the design of fastening the fan module (3) to the
positioning member (2) in a detachable manner, a user can push the
fan module (3) to slide the fan module (3) from the side edge of
the positioning member (2) and remove out of the housing (1) to
allow repair and maintenance more simple and convenient.
[0027] The above two figures also show that the power control
device (4) can be connected to the inner wall corresponding to the
housing (1) by using magnet (5) in a magnetic attraction manner. Of
course, in addition to using magnet (5) in a magnetic attraction
manner, hooking (not shown in the figure) or adhering (not shown in
the figure) may also be used for connecting to the inner wall
corresponding to the housing (1). As a result, the installed power
control device (4) can be more firmly fixed and will not be fell
off in removing the bottom cover (14) of the housing (1) during
maintenance. In addition, through the methods of magnetic
attraction, hooking (not shown in the figure) or adhering (not
shown in the figure), there is no need to use screws for connection
between the power control device (4) and the housing (1), which not
only simplifies the structure, but also makes the installation
easier.
[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, the wire-arranging element (41) is
disposed at one side edge of the power control device (4), and is a
non-closed loop hook for fixing the electric wires of the fan
module inside. The top of one fixing pieces (311) is inwardly
recessed with a receiving groove (313) for receiving the electric
wire of the fan module (3). Therefore, through the collaboration of
wire-arranging element (41) and receiving groove (313), the
electric wires between the fan module (3) and the power control
device (4) can be fixed to achieve good wire-arranging effect and
solve the problem of electric wire storage.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 2a to FIG. 4, one end of the fan module (3)
further has a motor (31) fastened and fixed 10 positioning member
(2). A plurality of fixing pieces (311) is disposed around the
outer edge of the motor (31). One end of each fixing member (311)
has a snap slot (312) which is disposed corresponding to the
positioning member (2) and can be fastened to the positioning
member (2). Accordingly, when the motor (31) is disassembled, the
motor (31) only needs to be pushed to slide the snap slot (312) out
of the side edge of the positioning member (2). Conversely, when
the motor (31) is installed, the snap slot (312) only needs to be
embedded in the positioning member (2) in a slide way to improve
the convenience and save the time of assembly and disassembly.
[0030] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the
present invention. Those having ordinary skills in the art may also
make many modifications and improvements without departing from the
conception of the invention, which shall all fall within the
protection scope of the invention.
