Personal fans, like the one in the image, typically have several molded plastic parts. Here are some common injection-molded components found in such devices:
1. **Outer Casing/Body**:
- **Materials**: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PC (Polycarbonate).
- **Characteristics**: The outer casing houses the internal components, providing structure and protection. It is designed to be lightweight, durable, and often has a sleek finish.
2. **Fan Blades or Airflow Mechanism**:
- **Materials**: PP (Polypropylene), ABS, PA (Nylon).
- **Characteristics**: The blades or impeller are designed to generate airflow. These materials are chosen for their strength, lightweight nature, and durability.
3. **Control Panel/Buttons**:
- **Materials**: PC, ABS.
- **Characteristics**: The control panel may include buttons for power and speed settings. PC is often used for its transparency and durability, while ABS provides a sturdy and tactile surface for buttons.
4. **Ventilation Grills**:
- **Materials**: ABS, PP.
- **Characteristics**: These grills allow air to flow through the fan while protecting the internal components. They are designed to be durable and resistant to impact.
5. **Neckband or Support Structure** (specific to wearable fans):
- **Materials**: TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), ABS.
- **Characteristics**: In wearable fans, the neckband or support structure needs to be flexible, comfortable, and durable. TPE is often used for its soft and flexible properties, while ABS adds rigidity where needed.
6. **Battery Compartment Cover**:
- **Materials**: ABS, PP.
- **Characteristics**: This part protects the battery and internal electronics. It needs to be sturdy and easy to open or close.
7. **Internal Mounts and Supports**:
- **Materials**: ABS, PA.
- **Characteristics**: These components secure internal parts such as the motor and battery in place. They are designed to be strong and heat-resistant.
8. **LED Indicator Light Cover** (if present):
- **Materials**: PC.
- **Characteristics**: PC is used for its transparency, allowing light from the LED to shine through clearly.
The specific choice of materials depends on factors like the need for durability, weight reduction, comfort, and the overall design aesthetic of the personal fan.
