Abstract

A ventilator includes an opening formed on a bottom surface, a rectangular frame provided with a flange, a volute provided with a fan motor inside, and a connector connected to an air outlet of the volute. Four side surfaces of the frame excluding the top surface and the bottom surface tilt towards the outer lower side in a direction from the top surface to the bottom surface, and the opening area of the bottom surface is larger than that of the top surface. The ventilator saves packaging and installation costs, and further facilitates installation between the roof and the ceiling.

Claims (17)

1. A packing structure for a plurality of ventilation fans, each of the plurality of ventilation fans comprising: a frame provided with an opening in a bottom surface thereof and a flange, the frame having a rectangular shape; a casing with a fan motor installed therein; and an adapter connected to an outlet of the casing, wherein four side surfaces of the frame, except a top surface and the bottom surface thereof, incline outwards and downwards from the top surface to the bottom surface, an area of the opening in the bottom surface is larger than an area of the top surface,

wherein the packing structure for the plurality of ventilation fans comprises an outer packing carton for packing frames and adapters of the plurality of ventilation fans, and junction boxes, wherein two fixing structures facing each other are disposed inside the outer packing cartons, and the frames are secured in a manner that the frames are secured in a plurality of sets, wherein each of the plurality of sets comprises two or more frames;

the frames in the same set are arranged longitudinally in an up-down direction where the top surface is directed downwards and the bottom surface is directed upwards, the adapters and the junction boxes are contained inside of a longitudinally upmost frame; and

the frames in different sets are arranged side by side and horizontally.

2. The packing structure according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the two fixing structures is provided with a plurality of support sections, each support section is provided with a plurality of grooves for insertion of the flanges of the frames, the plurality of grooves are arranged longitudinally along the up-down direction and a distance between adjacent grooves is larger than 10 mm but less than a height of the frame in the up-down direction.

3. The packing structure according to claim 2 , wherein

a concave is formed in each of the plurality of support sections for supporting a part of the side surfaces of the frame and the bottom surface of the frame, and each side surface of the concave inclines to match with a respective side surface of the frame.

4. The packing structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the top surface and the bottom surface of the frame are rectangles; and

each of the two fixing structures is provided with a plurality of support sections, the number of the plurality of support sections corresponds to the number of the plurality of sets of the frames, and the two fixing structures have the same shape.

5. The packing structure according to claim 1 , wherein

a separation structure having an opening in a bottom surface thereof and used for wrapping the junction boxes is provided inside the frame, and a portion of the separation structure between the junction boxes is provided with a protrusion that projects towards an interior of the separation structure.

6. The packing structure according to claim 5 , wherein

outlets of every two adapters are placed as facing each other, and each of both ends of a side surface of the separation structure between the junction boxes and the adapters is provided with a clipping formations into which a lateral side of an inlet of each adapter is locked.

7. The packing structure according to claim 1 , wherein

a separation structure having an opening in a bottom surface thereof and used for wrapping the adapters is provided inside the frame, and a portion of the separation structure between the adapters is provided with a protrusion that projects towards an interior of the separation structure.
