Abstract

An outlet device includes a counterweight portion, a hanging portion arranged distant from the counterweight portion, an extending portion having two ends respectively connected to the counterweight portion and the hanging portion, a blowing unit, and a power cord connected to the counterweight portion. The outlet unit of the counterweight portion and the blowing unit are electrically connected to the power cord. The blowing unit is installed on the counterweight portion, the hanging portion, or the extending portion for inhaling external air into the airflow channel and blowing airflow to the air exit. When the outlet device is applied to a plate, the counterweight portion is arranged under the plate and the hanging portion is arranged on the plate, and the hanging portion remains hung on the plate by using the weight distribution of the outlet device, thereby maintaining the outlet device in a static balance state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An outlet device for being hung on a plate, comprising:
a counterweight portion including an outlet unit;
a hanging portion arranged distant from the counterweight portion;
an extending portion having two opposite ends respectively connected to the counterweight portion and the hanging portion, wherein the extending portion, the hanging portion, and the counterweight portion are formed with an airflow channel, an air exit, and an air entrance, wherein the air exit and the air entrance are in air communication with the airflow channel, wherein a free end of the hanging portion is arranged distant from the extending portion by a lateral distance, the extending portion has a width parallel to the lateral distance, and the width is less than or equal to the lateral distance;
a blowing unit corresponding in position to the air entrance, wherein the blowing unit is configured to inhale external air into the extending portion and blow airflow to the air exit through the airflow channel; and
a power cord electrically connected to the outlet unit and the blowing unit, wherein the power cord has an end connected to the counterweight portion and an opposite end used for detachably inserting into an external power supplying outlet,
wherein when the outlet device is applied to the plate, the counterweight portion is arranged under the plate and the hanging portion is arranged on the plate, and the hanging portion remains hung on the plate by a weight distribution of the outlet device, thereby maintaining the outlet device in a static balance state,
wherein the counterweight portion includes a first case, the outlet unit is disposed in the first case, the hanging portion includes a second case, the air exit is arranged on the second case, the extending portion includes a third case and a switching unit installed on the third case, the air entrance is arranged on the third case, the blowing unit is fixed on the third case and is arranged adjacent to the air entrance, the switching unit is electrically connected to the power cord and the blowing unit, and a part of the switching unit is exposed from the third case for being triggered to start or stop the blowing unit by a user,
wherein the third case has a first end and an opposite second end, and the first end and the second end are respectively and perpendicularly connected to the first case and the second case.

2. The outlet device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first end and the second end of the third case are integrally connected to the first case and the second case respectively, and the first case, the second case, and the third case jointly form a U-shaped hanging slot for receiving a part of the plate, wherein the air exit, the air entrance, and the blowing unit are arranged outside the U-shaped hanging slot.

3. The outlet device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a guiding blade arranged at the air exit, wherein the guiding blade is pivotally connected to the second case, and the guiding blade is rotatable relative to the second case for adjusting the direction of the airflow.

4. The outlet device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an air transforming unit corresponding in position to the airflow channel, wherein the air transforming unit is configured to transform the original property of the external air, so that the original property of the airflow passed the air transforming unit is different from that of the external air.

5. The outlet device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the air transforming unit includes at least one of an air filtering member, a cooling chip, and a fragrance unit.

6. An outlet device for being hung on a plate, comprising:
a counterweight portion;
a hanging portion arranged distant from the counterweight portion, wherein at least one of the counterweight portion and the hanging portion is provided with an outlet unit;
an extending portion having two opposite ends respectively connected to the counterweight portion and the hanging portion, wherein the extending portion, the hanging portion, and the counterweight portion are formed with an airflow channel and an air exit in air communication with the airflow channel; and
a blowing unit arranged in the airflow channel, wherein the blowing unit is configured to inhale external air into the airflow channel and blow airflow to the air exit,
wherein when the outlet device is applied to the plate, the counterweight portion is arranged under the plate and the hanging portion is arranged on the plate, and the hanging portion remains hung on the plate by a weight distribution of the outlet device, thereby maintaining the outlet device in a static balance state,
wherein the counterweight portion includes a first case, the outlet unit is disposed in the first case, the hanging portion includes a second case, the air exit is arranged on the second case, the extending portion includes a third case and a switching unit installed on the third case, the air entrance is arranged on the third case, the blowing unit is fixed on the connected to the power cord and the blowing unit, and a part of the switching unit is exposed from the third case for being triggered to start or stop the blowing unit by a user,
wherein the third case has a first end and an opposite second end, and the first end and the second end are respectively and perpendicularly connected to the first case and the second case.

7. The outlet device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a free end of the hanging portion is arranged distant from the extending portion by a lateral distance, the extending portion has a width parallel to the lateral distance, and the width is less than or equal to the lateral distance.

8. The outlet device as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising an air transforming unit corresponding in position to the airflow channel, wherein the air transforming unit is configured to transform the original property of the external air, so that the original property of the airflow passed the air transforming unit is different from that of the external air.

9. The outlet device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the air transforming unit includes at least one of an air filtering member, a cooling chip, and a fragrance unit.
