AIR-SENDING DEVICE AND AIR-SENDING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18547909 titled 'AIR-SENDING DEVICE AND AIR-SENDING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

An air-sending device described in the patent application includes a fan that blows air into a space, an airflow direction adjusting unit that can change the direction of the air blown out by the fan, and a controller that controls both the fan and the airflow direction adjusting unit. The controller is programmed to enter a forced swing mode under certain conditions, where the airflow direction adjusting unit changes the direction of the air over time without user input.

  • The device includes a fan that blows air into a space.
  • An airflow direction adjusting unit can change the direction of the air blown out by the fan.
  • A controller controls both the fan and the airflow direction adjusting unit.
  • The controller can enter a forced swing mode under certain conditions, where the airflow direction adjusting unit changes the direction of the air over time without user input.

Original Abstract Submitted

An air-sending device includes a fan configured to blow air into a space, an airflow direction adjusting unit configured to adjust an airflow direction of the air blown out from the fan, and a controller configured to control the fan and the airflow direction adjusting unit. The controller is configured to, when a predetermined condition is met, execute a forced swing mode regardless of a setting made by a user for the airflow direction. In the forced swing mode, a swing operation is forcibly performed in which the airflow direction adjusting unit is controlled to change the airflow direction over time.
